Whether you have been picked up for pot or charged with trafficking in cocaine, you want an attorney who understands drug cases, knows the system and the personnel in Catawba County, and is committed to applying his legal skills to keep this arrest from ruining your life.
Most drug arrests are of young people who don't appreciate how serious the state of North Carolina and the federal justice system take drug cases, even of marijuana. Students at Lenoir-Rhyne University, Catawba Valley Community College and the Appalachian University Center here in Hickory have had their academic careers seriously interrupted by drug charges and convictions.
At Cody Law Firm we have successfully defended individuals charged with:
- Marijuana possession and sale
- Illegal sales of prescription drugs
- Cocaine, possession and selling
- Methamphetamine manufacture
In addition we have helped persons charged with possession in a no-drug (school) zone, doctor shopping, forging physician signatures and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Attorney Handling Marijuana Possession And Other Drug Crime Cases
It is important to appear at trial not as a criminal drug user but as a normal individual who may have made a dumb mistake. My job as your defender is to exploit the weakness in the state's case and noncompliance with police procedure to show that it would be a mistake to penalize you to the full extent of the law.
My strong preference as your lawyer is to have the charges against you dismissed, or significantly reduced. If neither of these is realistic, I work to get you a conditional discharge, or to go through the drug court to help keep you out of jail.
Drug charges are very serious, and convictions do great damage. Many people do not realize that an arrest all by itself stays on your record. When this happens, I can often have the arrest and even the conviction expunged. For more information about expungement, call me at 828-358-2776.
If busted for possessing marijuana or some other drug crime, contact Cody Law Firm at 828-358-2776, to reach attorney Blair Cody.

Mental Health and TBI Care Challenge
Mandatory Post Deployment PTSD Treatment
The idea is to have everyone in a unit returning from a combat zone deployment receive in person PTSD screening around 3 months after return. Basically begin PTSD treatment for ALL returning combat vets. This will remove the stigma associated with seeking treatment. Everyone receives it.

The Ever Evolving Letter with Letterer Joseph Alessio
Since launching the TYPOgraphJournal in June 2014 I have used DHL and Auspost to ship the documents to customers.
In December I received notification from DHL about an international shipping price increase (of an average of about 5% to most destinations) that will be effective from the 1st of January. To Follow Auspost also announced an increase for business postage and pre paid services effective 3rd of Janurary.
These raises come on the back of another postage increase earlier in the year (both domestic and international) of 10-30% to most destinations that I choose not to pass on to customers... Over the last 6 months this meant TYPOgraphJournal was only breaking even to many destinations and making a loss when shipped to some.
I created the journal to share with industry not to generate revenue - but as a small run publication, I don't have enough margin in the documents to absorb these next rises. So it is with this total transparency that I will be raising the prices today.
I will continue to work with shipping providers to seek options that give our community the best value reliable postage I can find.
I want to thank you for your ongoing support and enthusiasm for the journals - These changes will help ensure the long-term viability of the publication.
- Nicole

Artist: Ghost Shirt Song: "Waitress"
To be honest, I always thought Ghost Shirt was a horrendous name, so it took me a while to look into Columbus' foremost shitgaze-haters. (By the way, if you guys talk smack about other local musicians, you gotta expect the press to run with it!) But once I did, I was pleased with their music, which I dubbed "dignified folk-rock tunes with widescreen grandeur" in this profile last month. Tonight they play The Treehouse, 887 Chambers Rd., along with Wussy and The Kyle Sowashes. So today we spotlight "Waitress," which will appear on this year's Alive Amplified local music compilation. You can grab one (for free!) less than a month from now, so get excited.

Forty years of skating experience, two skateboarding sons and one wife who works at Edison High School essentially make Kurt Thuemmler a no-brainer choice to coach the Edison High and Sowers Middle School skate club teams.
Thuemmler, who coached at El Toro High last season and will be in his first season with the Huntington Beach teams, chatted with the Wave about the combination of school and skateboarding, one of the league's premier skaters Gage Boan, and just how much fun he's having.
Q. What makes skateboarding a significant sport in your opinion?
A. When I was a kid, all the neighborhood kids skated. I grew up in a beach community and just the feeling of rolling down the street, it's amazing. Seeing how the league progresses and how kids are learning to do tricks, and now coming to a point where skateboarding is being considered for the Olympics, it's huge. It's cool because it's an individual sport, but it's also a team sport.
Q. What would you say to people who label skateboarding as a rebellious pastime?
A. It was definitely looked at as a rebellious sport when I grew up. But now, we have the X-Games and this league. It proves that kids aren't all like that. Very few kids cause problems. Different states and towns across the nation, they're creating skate parks. It proves to me that that's not the case, that's it's not a renegade sport.
Q. How do you look at the relationship between school and skateboarding, which has come to the forefront of the OCSL?
A. Last year, I had 10 to 12 kids that wanted to be on the team, and grades are a huge part of it. Similar to the Surfing Association, these kids have to keep their grades up and focus on schooling and competing as well. One of the main things that I saw was the camaraderie between the schools. People have rivalries between schools, but the biggest thing for me was watching kids from different schools become great friends.
Q. Talk to me about your relationship with one of your better skaters, Gage Boan, last year's bowl series champion.
A. I met Gage in Cocoa Beach, Fla. We happened to live in the same town for a couple of years. I've watched him grow from a 10-year-old kid to the No. 1 skater in the bowl series. We moved back to California at about the same time he moved back, so I continued to see him skating. He's a really good kid and really dedicated to the sport.
Q. What has this league meant to you from a personal standpoint?
A. It's been a tremendous growth experience for me. I have two boys that are skateboarders and just watching all these kids grow and get better and make friends – that's what it's all about for me.

Even at this early stage of the year, there is a concerted effort to make it the "warmest evah".
Joe Romm has this graph of the GISS numbers for the first three months of the year, and Gavin has clearly been busy!
Predictably, Seth Borenstein has gleefully reported that NOAA has also shown the warmest first quarter of the year ahead of 2002.
Unfortunately, the more comprehensive and accurate satellites show no such thing.
For January to March, UAH rank this as only 4th warmest behind 2010, 1998 and even 2007.
According to RSS, this year so far is even lower down the rankings in 8th place. See in this WAPO story how the nonsense from Seth and Romm and the warmists and enviro extremists in the capitol, have cost DC gardeners and horticulturalists dearly the last two years.
Given the weak El Nino conditions in place since last April, there is nothing out of the ordinary about the satellite rankings.
We have been repeatedly assured for the past year that satellite temperatures would catch up with the surface datasets. They have not, and instead the latter continue to diverge more and more.
The alarmist tactic now is to tell us to simply ignore the satellite data, as it is "not measuring the same thing", and is therefore somehow irrelevant. This is all highly amusing, as the UK Met Office, back in 2013, was reassuring us that the surface datasets were reliable as:
"Changes in temperature observed in surface data records are corroborated by records of temperatures in the troposphere recorded by satellites"
This divergence is now becoming the elephant in the room, which the likes of NASA and their media allies are desperately trying to ignore.
It is time that the matter was fully investigated by a properly independent inquiry.
Icecap Note: The theory remember has the warmth trapped in the atmosphere by CO2 and H2Ov and other gases and some of the heat rerdiated back. The modles have the warming greater aloft than at the ground. The greater warming at the surface is the signature of the UHI effect.
Also NOAA and NASA have not cooperated on the corruption of the surface data but on a prodigious work of science fiction, the GCRP, which the demagogue party, the radical enviros and their allies in the MSM will use to eliminate our most reliable workhorse energy sources and drive up prices, hurting the poor and middle class.
Also see this on how elitists are "Oppressing the Poor in the Name fo Global Warming."

Democrats' attempts to paralyze climate skeptics in academia, think tanks, and companies, using intimidating letters threatening a federal investigation into their funding connections, backfired. They opened a Pandora's Box of questions concerning where climate alarmists get their money. Now Democrat Senators Barbara Boxer (CA), Ed Markey (MA), and Sheldon Whitehouse (RI) and Democrat Arizona Rep. Raul Grijalva have egg on their faces.
Public-choice economics explains politicians and bureaucrats are as self-interested as anyone. They seek expanded authority and bigger budgets. Because the federal government and left-wing foundations provide the vast bulk of climate research funding, funding from these two sources certainly should undergo at least as much scrutiny as funding from private industry.
Nearly all university-based climate scientists are funded mainly by federal grants, and the ideological and political goals of those authorizing the grants could reasonably be expected to affect the kind of research universities and researchers undertake. The conflict between gaining research money and scientific integrity puts sound but nonconformist science at a crushing disadvantage.
Michael Mann, Pennsylvania State University's notorious ClimateGate email scandal figure, has garnered close to $6 million promoting scary scientific conclusions serving government's goal of control over energy sources, $3.6 million of it from the National Science Foundation. Both PSU and the NSF conducted investigations absolving Mann of any wrongdoing in ClimateGate, but with the offending institutions effectively investigating one of their own, would anyone expect a different outcome?
Influence, Conflicts of Interest
Princeton professor Michael Oppenheimer has written more than 100 peer-reviewed papers and testified before Congress on multiple occasions. He was the Environmental Defense Fund's senior scientist (1981-2002) and remains as science advisor to the multimillion-dollar lobbying group (2013 assets: $208.7 million). EDF has received $2.8 million in federal grants since 2008, spent $11.3 million on lobbying, and has 55 people on 32 federal advisory committees.
Since 2008, EDF has received 3,332 grants from 600 foundations, totaling $544,487,562. EDF is deeply rooted in left-wing foundation agendas. Oppenheimer's professorship is supported in part by private equity tycoon Carl Ferenbach's High Meadows Foundation, which has given Princeton $6.5 million and the Environmental Defense Fund $6 million. Ferenbach is both EDF's Chairman of the Board and a trustee of Princeton, suggesting a strong conflict of interest.
The proudly progressive Center for American Progress (CAP) has five people on federal advisory committees, spent $3.6 million on lobbying, and gave $312,400 to Democrat candidates in 2014. CAP Senior Fellow and Chief Science Advisor Joe Romm has testified before Congress on global warming and coauthored numerous peer-reviewed studies. Yet Romm failed to file conflict-of-interest disclosures for an article in Environmental Research Letters although the journal explicitly requires it.
Since 2004, CAP has been supported by left-wing foundations including Marilsa (Getty Oil fortune, $7 million), Rockefeller (Standard Oil fortune, $5 million), Sea Change (ties to Russian oil money laundering, $4.8 million), and 200 other left-wing foundations.
Government and foundation monies go only toward research advancing a pro-regulatory climate agenda. That is the greatest threat to the integrity of scientific research.

See this story on why arctic ice changes can be explained totally with natural variability - cycles in the oceans and sun. I have extracted a short segment from that story and added to it.
See how well arctic temperatures correlate with ocean (Pacific Decadal Oscillation or PDO and Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation or AMO) and solar (TSI) cycles.
In the record-setting (since satellite monitoring began in 1979) summer melt season of 2007, NSIDC noted the importance of both oceans in the arctic ice.
"One prominent researcher, Igor Polyakov at the University of Fairbanks, Alaska, points out that pulses of unusually warm water have been entering the Arctic Ocean from the Atlantic, which several years later are seen in the ocean north of Siberia. These pulses of water are helping to heat the upper Arctic Ocean, contributing to summer ice melt and helping to reduce winter ice growth.
Another scientist, Koji Shimada of the Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology, reports evidence of changes in ocean circulation in the Pacific side of the Arctic Ocean. Through a complex interaction with declining sea ice, warm water entering the Arctic Ocean through Bering Strait in summer is being shunted from the Alaskan coast into the Arctic Ocean, where it fosters further ice loss. Many questions still remain to be answered, but these changes in ocean circulation may be important keys for understanding the observed loss of Arctic sea ice."
Frances et al. (GRL 2007) showed how the warming in the arctic and the melting ice was related to warm water (+3C) in the Barents Sea moving slowly into the Siberian arctic and melting the ice. She also noted the positive feedback of changed "albedo" due to open water then further enhances the warming.
The International Arctic Research Center at the University of Alaska, Fairbanks showed how arctic temperatures have cycled with intrusions of Atlantic water -cold and warm.
See how the Atlantic has cooled and though the Pacific (PDO) has spiked, there are signs that this is temporary like the late 1950s and it will turn cold again in two years. When both oceans cool, the arctic, we predict will recover. Some may try and delay the truth by adjusting how and where they measure ocean ice (redefining the arctic region or what percentage of ice/ or level of satellite brightness qualifies).
Phil Klotzbach and Bill Gray have a variant of the water temperature based AMO that factors in atmospheric pressure. JB sparked this post with this 'musings on the arctic ice', a bit to long to post in its entirety on Icecap.
Perhaps the recovery has started.
As JB's PDF shows, CFS climate model has a higher minimum than 2014 (20%). See his post for how this model has done last year.
Yesterday, a paper was released from Mann and Rahmstorf showing the Atlantic Conveyor Belt slowing cauding the 'pause'.
From the "we told you so yesterday" and the "settled science" department. This study was released in 2010, and they used actual measurements, rather than proxy data and reconstructions like Mann did. Gee, what a concept!
NASA Study Finds Atlantic 'Conveyor Belt' Not Slowing

PASADENA, Calif. New NASA measurements of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, part of the global ocean conveyor belt that helps regulate climate around the North Atlantic, show no significant slowing over the past 15 years. The data suggest the circulation may have even sped up slightly in the recent past.
The findings are the result of a new monitoring technique, developed by oceanographer Josh Willis of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., using measurements from ocean-observing satellites and profiling floats. The findings are reported in the March 25 issue of Geophysical Research Letters.
The Atlantic overturning circulation is a system of currents, including the Gulf Stream, that bring warm surface waters from the tropics northward into the North Atlantic. There, in the seas surrounding Greenland, the water cools, sinks to great depths and changes direction. What was once warm surface water heading north turns into cold deep water going south. This overturning is one part of the vast conveyor belt of ocean currents that move heat around the globe.
Without the heat carried by this circulation system, the climate around the North Atlantic - in Europe, North America and North Africa - would likely be much colder. Scientists hypothesize that rapid cooling 12,000 years ago at the end of the last ice age was triggered when freshwater from melting glaciers altered the ocean's salinity and slowed the overturning rate. That reduced the amount of heat carried northward as a result.
Until recently, the only direct measurements of the circulation's strength have been from ship-based surveys and a set of moorings anchored to the ocean floor in the mid-latitudes. Willis' new technique is based on data from NASA satellite altimeters, which measure changes in the height of the sea surface, as well as data from Argo profiling floats. The international Argo array, supported in part by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, includes approximately 3,000 robotic floats that measure temperature, salinity and velocity across the world's ocean.
With this new technique, Willis was able to calculate changes in the northward-flowing part of the circulation at about 41 degrees latitude, roughly between New York and northern Portugal. Combining satellite and float measurements, he found no change in the strength of the circulation overturning from 2002 to 2009. Looking further back with satellite altimeter data alone before the float data were available, Willis found evidence that the circulation had sped up about 20 percent from 1993 to 2009. This is the longest direct record of variability in the Atlantic overturning to date and the only one at high latitudes.
The latest climate models predict the overturning circulation will slow down as greenhouse gases warm the planet and melting ice adds freshwater to the ocean. "Warm, freshwater is lighter and sinks less readily than cold, salty water," Willis explained.
For now, however, there are no signs of a slowdown in the circulation. "The changes we're seeing in overturning strength are probably part of a natural cycle," said Willis. "The slight increase in overturning since 1993 coincides with a decades-long natural pattern of Atlantic heating and cooling."
If or when the overturning circulation slows, the results are unlikely to be dramatic. "No one is predicting another ice age as a result of changes in the Atlantic overturning," said Willis. "Even if the overturning was the Godzilla of climate 12,000 years ago, the climate was much colder then. Models of today's warmer conditions suggest that a slowdown would have a much smaller impact now.
"But the Atlantic overturning circulation is still an important player in today's climate," Willis added. "Some have suggested cyclic changes in the overturning may be warming and cooling the whole North Atlantic over the course of several decades and affecting rainfall patterns across the United States and Africa, and even the number of hurricanes in the Atlantic."
With their ability to observe the Atlantic overturning at high latitudes, Willis said, satellite altimeters and the Argo array are an important complement to the mooring and ship-based measurements currently being used to monitor the overturning at lower latitudes. "Nobody imagined that this large-scale circulation could be captured by these global observing systems," said Willis. "Their amazing precision allows us to detect subtle changes in the ocean that could have big impacts on climate."
Steve McIntyre remarks about the Mann/Rahmstorf's paper:
"The proxy data used to reconstruct AMOC is the same data as Mann et al 2009 - i.e. includes strip bark bristlecones and contaminated Tiljander sediments. in other words, bristlecones not only are a magic thermometer for NH temperature and SH temperature, but now Gulf Stream flow rates. Remarkable."
Pierre Gosselin over at "No Tricks Zone" is reporting that within a day of its publication, the paper from the German Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research has now been debunked and denounced by German climate scholars, some of whom side with the warmer view of climate.

Malaria has afflicted mankind for thousands of years. It sickened millions of Americans into the 1930s and was finally eradicated in the United States in 1952, with DDT playing a critical role in reducing mosquitoes that carried the disease from one victim to the next. Malaria was wiped out in Canada, Europe, Russia and many other regions over the next two decades. However, it is still prevalent in Africa, many parts of Asia and even in South America due largely to intense opposition to DDT and other pesticides by radical Big Green environmentalists.
A new documentary film, 3 Billion and Counting, chronicles the devastation and death perpetuated by anti-DDT campaigns that have removed this vital disease prevention weapon from many malaria control arsenals. Dr. Rutledge Taylor's self-financed film also lays out the facts about the chemical's actual safety and environmental record, through his own research and comments by malaria and DDT experts from around the world.
Thank you for posting my article, quoting from it, and forwarding it to your friends and colleagues.
Best regards,
Its anti-DDT war is a lethal "death-rate solution" imposed on Third World countries
Paul Driessen
The terms racism, white supremacy, crimes against humanity are bandied about so often that they have become almost meaningless. But they are absolutely appropriate in an arena where they are too rarely applied: radical environmentalism's campaigns that perpetuate poverty, disease and death, by denying Earth's most impoverished and powerless people access to modern life-saving technologies.
Imagine activist groups preventing you from having your child vaccinated against polio or hepatitis, or from starting her on chemotherapy for leukemia - because they are "concerned" about "possible side-effects" and the "ethics" of permitting such "risky" procedures. Absurd! you say. Outrageous!
Of course it is. But that is what radical environmentalists are doing to Third World countries. By denying people access to abundant, reliable, affordable electricity, modern fertilizers and biotech seeds, and especially DDT to prevent malaria and other insect-borne diseases, they are killing millions every year.
Many of my articles have documented this. Now a new film written, self-financed and produced by Dr. D. Rutledge Taylor, MD graphically presents powerful new evidence of how the Audubon Society, Sierra Club, other predominantly white environmentalist pressure groups and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency conspired to hide and discredit scientific evidence, and wage a campaign of disinformation and outright lies, to ban the most effective weapon yet devised to prevent malaria and other vicious diseases.
3 Billion and Counting: The death toll is mounting shows how DDT was invented on the eve of World War II and became a secret weapon that kept Allied soldiers on the battlefield, instead of in hospitals or graves. After the war, it was sprayed on millions of Europeans to prevent typhus. It then eradicated malaria in Europe, the United States and other developed nations. No one ever got sick from DDT.
Available on demand and through Amazon.com, You Tube, Google Play, iTunes and elsewhere, the film chronicles how Rachel Carson's wildly inaccurate book Silent Spring helped persuade the Audubon Society to launch the Environmental Defense Fund for the sole purpose of demanding a DDT ban.
Why would Audubon do such a thing? Its own research and Department of the Interior studies showed that bird and animal populations were exploding during the two decades when DDT was used most widely. Countless other studies documented that the life-saving chemical was safe for humans and most wildlife, including bald eagles. People actually tried to kill themselves with DDT and repeatedly failed.
An EPA scientific panel conducted six months of hearings, compiled 9,312 pages of studies and testimony, and concluded that DDT was safe and effective, was not carcinogenic, and should not be banned. Nevertheless, without attending a single hour of hearings or reading a single page of the panel's report, EPA Administrator William Ruckelshaus banned U.S. production and use of DDT in 1972 - at a time when over 80% of the chemical was being exported for disease control.
Then why the attacks? As EDF scientist Charles Wurster said 1969, "If the environmentalists win on DDT, they will achieve a level of authority they have never had before." When asked later how he justified human deaths from pesticides that replaced DDT, versus the "mere loss of some birds," he said "organophosphates act locally and only kill farm workers, and most of them are Mexicans and Negroes."
Ruckelshaus said he had a political problem, and fixed it. He never considered the plight of malaria victims, and anti-DDT activists still ignore their agony and deaths. Audubon, EDF, Sierra Club, Greenpeace, World Wildlife Fund, Pesticide Action Network, Natural Resource Defense Council and other radical groups that oppose DDT just don't give a damn even as they have become filthy, callously rich by opposing the life-saving chemical and other technologies.
Sierra Club executive director David Brower, Population Bomb author Paul Ehrlich and other arch-environmentalists believed the biggest problem facing Planet Earth was "uncontrolled growth" in human populations. Ehrlich argued that the "instant death control" provided by DDT exports was "responsible for the drastic lowering of death rates" in underdeveloped countries. Those countries were not practicing a "birth rate solution" and thus needed to have "death rate solutions" imposed on them, via campaigns against energy, Golden Rice and other biotech crops, and especially DDT.
Almost 3.5 billion people worldwide are at risk of getting this horrific disease, 207 million are actually infected every year, and over 800,000 die year after year from malaria. The vast majority are children and pregnant women, and some 90% of them are in Sub-Saharan Africa. In that region, a child still dies every minute from malaria, and most African children have been brain-damaged to some degree by malaria. Worldwide, nearly 80% of all infectious diseases are spread by insects.
Malaria is certainly a disease of poverty. But poverty is a disease of malaria. It leaves victims too sick to work or care for their families, for weeks on end. Medicines and hospital stays drain families' meager savings. The disease costs tens of millions of lost work hours, billions in lost wages, and tens of billions for medicines and care in antiquated hospitals. It leaves entire nations impoverished.
However, spraying small amounts of DDT on the walls and eaves of cinderblock and mud-and-thatch homes, once or twice a year puts a long-lasting mosquito net over entire households. It keeps 80-90% of mosquitoes from even entering the homes; irritates any that do enter, so they leave without biting; and kills any that land. No other chemical, at any price, can do all this.
In response to these facts, anti-DDT pressure groups rail about risks that are trivial, illusory or fabricated. DDT is associated with low birth-weights, slow reflexes and weakened immune systems in babies, and could cause premature birth and lactation failure in nursing mothers, they claim.
Not one peer-reviewed scientific study supports any of this fear-mongering. Every one of these alleged problems is definitely associated with malaria and other endemic Third World diseases. And compared to the death and devastation that DDT could prevent, the alleged DDT risks are irrelevant.
However, constant deception and harassment by these groups have caused many health agencies and aid organizations to not use or fund DDT, and often other pesticides. Instead, they focus on bed nets, education, "capacity building," and treatment with drugs that are too often unavailable, counterfeit, or ineffective because the malaria parasites have become resistant to them.
Still, the efforts have been somewhat successful. Millions of women and young children now sleep under insecticide-treated nets. Millions now get diagnosed more quickly and receive better care and medicines, often at clinics where two doctors examine up to 400 patients a day. In 2010, the World Health Organization and Roll Back Malaria boasted of an 18% reduction in child mortality, compared with 2000.
But that is not nearly good enough. We would never tolerate 18% as "good enough," if American or European children's lives (or Greenpeace and EDF kids' lives) were at stake and a 90% reduction were possible as it would be, if health workers were also eradicating mosquitoes and spraying DDT.
Instead, they protect Africans and Asians from minimal or illusory risks, by condemning them to agonizing deaths from readily preventable diseases. "They are using us in anti-DDT experiments," says Ugandan human rights activist Fiona Kobusingye. "They are playing with our lives."
They are also playing with American lives. Spraying clothes with DDT once a year would keep infected ticks away and prevent Lyme disease that leaves tens of thousands battling chronic, debilitating pain and illness for years, Dr. Taylor explains. But the same anti-pesticide radicals are dead-set against that.
Dr. Taylor ends his film by drinking 3 grams of DDT...in 2008 - with no ill effects, then or today.

By Mike Mogil
A few weeks ago, returning from an AAAS (American Association For The Advancement of Science) Conference in San Jose, CA, I had the pleasure of meeting another conference attendee at a San Jose airport restaurant. The gentleman, a biologist from the University of Wisconsin, recognized me as a conference attendee because I had a "brain hat" with me. One of the exhibitors at Family Science Days, a major public outreach part of the conference, had provided attendees a chance to learn about the brain and then wear their newly made "brain hats" as they roamed the exhibit area. The gentleman asked if he could join me for dinner and I agreed.
Somehow, the conversation turned to "climate change." My guest expressed his concerns about the issue, primarily from a plant growth and population feeding perspective. I listened intently because the information he shared was new to me. Then it was my turn.
I told the gentleman about my credentials - Certified Consulting Meteorologist, science writer, blogger, tutor and more. I then proceeded to explain that I was not sure that humans were THE cause of climate change, although I frankly admitted that we humans, are NOT good planetary stewards. I explained that I had reviewed numerous climate-based articles, attended conference presentations about climate change and even done some independent research on matters that were related to climate change. I noted that I prefer to share both sides of the climate change story and let people decide. I almost concluded by noting that I felt that we could spend far less money (I believe I somewhat jokingly said, "gazillions") on climate change and still make very significant strides in lessening human impact on Planet Earth.
Before I could finish my thoughts, the gentleman slammed me, claiming that I was clearly the type of Republican that Fox News just loved. Further, he chided me for sowing seeds of discontent and doubt and then charged me with doing a disservice to the 99 percent of scientists who had proven that humans caused climate change. How dare I write about non-human caused climate change! I needed to come over to the right side and support the prevailing scientific viewpoint in my writing.
It was then that I was able to sneak in these few words, "I don't name call." In fact, I noted that I preferred to discuss the matter, as scientists should do, to ensure that all sides receive a fair hearing. Maybe no one will change his/her mind, but I was ready to talk with anyone regardless of his/her point of view.
Finally, I was able to note that, "once, the best scientists of the time thought the planets and the Sun orbited the Earth."
Our interaction went on for some 20 minutes and I was name called several more times, as my guest continued to berate me for being a bad journalist and a non-scientist. Never did I name call in retaliation; however, I remained true to my position.
The gentleman finally stood up and announced he was leaving and just walked away.
Still, it is ironic that a brain brought the two of us scientists together and the use of a brain was what separated us.
Some of my fellow scientists have scolded me on various occasions for my position on climate change. Never, however, had I been made to feel so small. I now knew one of the many ways that climate change alarmists have managed to silence the masses of opponents.
Another way of silencing opposition is to control the governmental purse-strings. This is typically evident in medicine, environmentalism and other programs in which the government defines the issue and the desired outcomes (collectively referred to as the, "rules") and then doles out funding primarily to those who support the "rules." Hence, one set of groups and businesses which stand to benefit from the "rules," act to support the, "rules." The opposing camp has no choice but to move toward non-governmental support. In the case of climate change, the only group that can support the opposition involves companies that mine fossil fuels and/or benefit from their use.
Yet, new research is always occurring. Recently, the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee (DGAC) may have become the bright spot in updating information based on new research. The DGAC, whose information is used in setting government dietary guidelines, just reported that, "available evidence shows no appreciable relationship between consumption of dietary cholesterol and serum cholesterol .. Cholesterol is not a nutrient of concern for overconsumption." Hence, cholesterol was found NOT to be as bad as previously thought and it was now okay to consume eggs.
Surely, a large percent of doctors and researchers in this medical arena agreed with the old findings. Now, the rules had changed by 180 degrees and the prevailing wisdom had changed accordingly. The minority was now moving toward becoming the majority! However, the issue is still not "proven" and probably never will. I am sure that additional research is underway to verify and/or refute the new findings. This is how science is supposed to work.
Coming back to climate change, what is to stop scientists from discovering that the climate change findings, and proposed solutions the government and the climate community have been pushing for some 20 years, are wrong? What if carbon dioxide is NOT the cause of the recent warming, but asphalt paving and urbanization are? What if the deforestation of the Amazon and other places has allowed regional and global temperatures to rise? The list of potential contributions toward a warming planet is endless and some or all may be at work, as much as, or even more so, than carbon dioxide.
The Heartland Organization is fully opposed to the current thinking on climate change. Not surprisingly, they just posted an article about Dr. Wei-Hock "Willie" Soon, a distinguished solar astrophysicist. The article describes how the climate change community, the so-called 99%, are uniting to discredit Soon. In past years, the non-believing community tried to discredit some in the climate change community, too. Most of the human-caused climate community use intimidation and personal attacks. For the most part, the opposing side attacks the research process, funding and the media and governmental hype.
In my opinion, it is these tactics and approaches to indoctrination (such as spending on biased government research and publicity, slanting school textbook content, and supporting a biased mass media), which are aimed at silencing scientific discussion and isolating dissenters that are the real problem. The brain, which is supposed to help us humans sort fact from fiction, is, instead, being asked to believe (in a religious way) or else.
I am nowhere the stature of Dr. Soon, but have been subjected to these same tear down, degrading tactics. I have stood up against these and will continue to do so, regardless of any professional or other attacks. By my thinking, the freedom of the press and the freedom to use one's mind to investigate science are far more important than "saving the planet," from a yet unproven threat.

Alex Epstein's long-anticipated book, The Moral Case for Fossil Fuels, published by Penguin, comes out today! I reviewed it as, "simply the best popular-market book about climate, environmental policy, and energy that I have read. Laymen and experts alike will be boggled by Epstein's clarity."
Alex recently sent us a brief essay based upon material in the book. Alex Epstein is President and Founder of the Center for Industrial Progress - an organization sowing the seeds of energy enthusiasm to counter the tide of climate alarmism. We asked Alex to share a few thoughts with our readers here at Cato; find them below.
If you are in Washington, you might want to meet Alex. He will be giving a Hill Briefing in B-369 Rayburn at 9am on Friday, November 21.
If you ever get asked the vague but morally-charged question "Do you believe in climate change?" someone is trying to put something over on you.
Climate change is a constant of nature and everyone agrees that fossil fuels have some impact on our naturally variable, volatile, and often vicious climate.
The question is whether it will have a catastrophic impact - one so bad it justifies restricting the only practical way to get energy in the foreseeable future to the 3 billion people who have next to none of it: fossil fuels. (No country relies on the sun and wind for energy, but rich countries can afford to pay tens or hundreds of billions to install and accommodate allegedly virtuous wind turbines and solar panels on their grids.)
The real issue is climate catastrophe. I'm not a climate-change skeptic. I'm a climate catastrophe skeptic-and here's one graph that shows why you should be, too.
No, it's not showing temperatures have gone up half a degree in the 80 years we've used a lot of fossil fuels, which is barely more than they went up the prior 80 years. Nor does it show temperatures have flattened in the past eighteen years while the world's leading climate catastrophists predicted dramatic, accelerating, runaway warming. Dr. James Hansen predicted that temperatures would increase between two-and-a-half and five degrees in 20 years!
Okay, I'll show that graph, too. Here it is:
Sources: Met Office Hadley Centre HadCRUT4 dataset; Etheridge et al. (1998); Keeling et al. (2001); MacFarling Meure et al. (2006); Merged IceCore Record Data, Scripps Institution of OceanographySources: Met Office Hadley Centre HadCRUT4 dataset; Etheridge et al. (1998); Keeling et al. (2001); MacFarling Meure et al. (2006); Merged IceCore Record Data, Scripps Institution of Oceanography
But that's not the graph that really matters. There is no intrinsically perfect global temperature and, if there was, we would expect it to be warmer. Until it became politically correct for temperature trends to warm, people around the world prayed for far more warming than we've experienced. There is no time in human history when it has been considered "too warm" for human beings.
What matters is: is the climate becoming more or less livable? The key statistic here, one that is unfortunately almost never mentioned, is "climate-related deaths."
The best source I have found for this data is the U.S. Office of Foreign Disaster Assistance and Centre for Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters International Disaster Database (OFDA/CRED EM-DAT), based in Brussels.1 It gathers data about disasters since 1900.
Here is a graph comparing CO2 emissions, the alleged climate danger, to the number of climate-related deaths, which reflects actual climate danger to humans. It's striking as CO2 emissions rise, climate-related deaths plunge.
Sources: Boden, Marland, Andres (2013); Etheridge et al. (1998); Keeling et al. (2001); MacFarling Meure et al. (2006); Merged IceCore Record Data, Scripps Institution of Oceanography; EM-DAT International Disaster DatabaseSources: Boden, Marland, Andres (2013); Etheridge et al. (1998); Keeling et al. (2001); MacFarling Meure et al. (2006); Merged IceCore Record Data, Scripps Institution of Oceanography; EM-DAT International Disaster Database
To make matters better, in reality the trend is even more dramatically downward, as before the 1970s many disasters went unreported. One big reason for this was lack of satellite data - we can now see the whole world, enabling us to track icecaps and disaster areas with relative ease. In 1950, if there was a disaster in the middle of what is now Bangladesh, would information have been accurately collected? In general, we can expect in more recent years, more deaths were recorded and in earlier years, fewer deaths were recorded. For some countries there is simply no good data, because in underdeveloped places like Haiti or Ethiopia we do not even know exactly how many people lived in a particular place before a disaster struck. Today we have much better information - and because disaster statistics are tied to aid, there is incentive to overreport.
And the more we dig into the data, the stronger the correlations get.
Here are a couple of striking numbers from the data: in the decade from 2004 to 2013, worldwide climate-related deaths (including droughts, floods, extreme temperatures, wildfires, and storms) plummeted to a level 88.6 percent below that of the peak decade, 1930 to 1939.2 The year 2013, with 29,404 reported deaths, had 99.4 percent fewer climate-related deaths than the historic record year of 1932, which had 5,073,283 reported deaths for the same category.3
That reduction occurred despite more complete reporting, an incentive to declare greater damage to gain more aid, and a massively growing population, particularly in vulnerable places like coastal areas, in recent times.
The climate catastrophists don't want you to know this because it reveals how fundamentally flawed their viewpoint is. They treat the global climate system as a stable and safe place we make volatile and dangerous. In fact, the global climate system is naturally volatile and dangerous - we make it livable through development and technology - development and technology powered by the only form of cheap, reliable, scalable reliable energy that can make climate livable for 7 billion people.
As the climate-related death data show, there are some major benefits - namely, the power of fossil-fueled machines to build a durable civilization highly resilient to extreme heat, extreme cold, floods, storms, and so on. Why weren't those mentioned in the discussion when we talked about storms like Sandy and Irene, even though anyone going through those storms was far more protected from them than he or she would have been a century ago?
I have debated representatives of the three leading environmental organizations in the world - Greenpeace, Sierra Club and 350.org - including 350.org's Bill McKibben, the leading environmentalist in the world today - and every time, I have repeatedly mentioned the climate livability statistics. I raised it to Bill McKibben before I debated him and half a dozen times during my debate with him - he didn't acknowledge it. He just called it "one number." Yeah, one number, based on billions of empirical observations, that destroys billions of dollars worth of speculation.
Why? Because the dogma that man is ruining the planet rather than improving it is a religion, a source of prestige, and a career for too many people. But for the rest of us, the statistic climate catastrophists don't want us to know is very, very good news.
Express UK
THE debate about climate change is finished because it has been categorically proved NOT to exist, one of the world's leading meteorologists has claimed.
John Coleman, who co-founded the Weather Channel, shocked academics by insisting the theory of man-made climate change was no longer scientifically credible.
Instead, what 'little evidence' there is for rising global temperatures points to a 'natural phenomenon' within a developing eco-system.
In an open letter attacking the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, he wrote: "The ocean is not rising significantly.The polar ice is increasing, not melting away. Polar Bears are increasing in number."
"Heat waves have actually diminished, not increased. There is not an uptick in the number or strength of storms (in fact storms are diminishing)."
"I have studied this topic seriously for years. It has become a political and environment agenda item, but the science is not valid."
I have studied climate change seriously for years. It has become a political and environment agenda item, but the science is not valid.
John Coleman, co-founder of the Weather Channel
Mr Coleman said he based many of his views on the findings of the NIPCC, a non-governmental international body of scientists aimed at offering an 'independent second opinion of the evidence reviewed by the IPCC.'
He added: "There is no significant man-made global warming at this time, there has been none in the past and there is no reason to fear any in the future.
"Efforts to prove the theory that carbon dioxide is a significant greenhouse gas and pollutant causing significant warming or weather effects have failed.
"There has been no warming over 18 years."
The IPCC argue their research shows that man-made global warming will lead to extreme weather events becoming more frequent and unpredictable.
US News and World Report noted that many of the world's largest businesses, including Coke, Pepsi, Walmart, Nestle, Mars, Monsanto, Kellogg, General Mills, Microsoft, and IBM, "are now engaged and actively responding to climate science and data."
Mr Coleman's comments come as President Barack Obama came under fire from climatologists as federal data revealed The United State's energy-related carbon pollution rose 2.5 per cent despite the President's pledges to decrease it.
President Obama told 120 world leaders at the United Nations climate summit last month that America had done more under his watch in cutting greenhouse gases than any other country.
Despite this, the Energy Information Administration's Monthly Energy Review showed an increase in the use of energy from coal.
World leaders have pledged to keep the global average temperature from rising two degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels to prevent the worst consequences of climate change.
The US, along with the UK and other developed countries, is expected to pledge further actions on climate change early next year.
Global warming climate change lieThere has been no recorded global warming for 18 years [GETTY]
Climate expert William Happer, from Princeton University, supported Mr Coleman's claims.
He added: "No chemical compound in the atmosphere has a worse reputation than CO2, thanks to the single-minded demonisation of this natural and essential atmospheric gas by advocates of government control and energy production."
"The incredible list of supposed horrors that increasing carbon dioxide will bring the world is pure belief disguised as science."
In 2010 a high-level inquiry by the InterAcademy Council found there was "little evidence" to support the IPCC's claims about global warming.
It also said the panel had purposely emphasised the negative impacts of climate change and made "substantive findings" based on little proof.

Letter from the Field: Shifting Subtly
The hour-long online session I had with Gary this morning is difficult to put into words. Here's the best I've come up with: He was direct and funny and our meeting had the intimate sense of being in the same room together. He recognized my perspective and reflected it with humour and clarity. He shone light on the habitual lens I look through and then walked through a few very simple exercises offering a nudge towards a slight shift of perspective.
Though barely perceptible, this slight reorientation has recast everything without anything changing.

"Hello," said an unfamiliar voice in answer to my greeting. "I'm sorry to be calling you so early. I'm Danny's* mother. He played with your kids a couple of weeks ago."
"Yes, I remember him. No problem that it's early. I'm just glad it isn't my mother letting me know my father had had another heart attack. We had visited them over the weekend, so when the phone rang this morning, well…I'm very glad to hear your voice, Danny's mother."
I heard the young woman's laugh before her reply. "My name's Christine*. I need a favor if it works out for you. I hate to ask because you don't even know me, but I'm really in a bind. Danny asked me to phone."
"And, what does your charming three-year-old want you to ask me?" I chuckled as I added, "Does he want to take one of the girls to a movie? Red-headed Deni* is one year older, and Jamie* is one year younger than Danny."
"Oh, gracious me! Don't rush those years," the mother gasped. "No, I need a sitter for him today. My usual babysitter just phoned to say she can't watch him. I'll be finished at work just after Noon. I'd be glad to pay you to watch him if it would be okay."
"We'd be delighted. The girls will be so happy to have a friend to play with. You can plan on Danny eating lunch with us."
And, that's how my new income stream began. I'd been toying with the idea but hesitated until the mothers called or came to my back door. Most days, I had four or five daytime kids added to my three resident kids; but, sometimes I had as many as fourteen little munchkins waiting for lunch.
The preschoolers pretty much occupied each other, so only the baby of the house took more time/effort. Susie* now sat in a high chair, feeding herself, kind of. She still wanted to be rocked while she enjoyed her bottle, but she no longer needed/wanted my help. Susie pulled the bottle in and out of her mouth, chatting between slurps. Then, one hand shoved the bottle back through her lips while the free hand played with my hair or pushed against my face.
I found it surprising how smoothly I adjusted to Susie's changing independence. Truthfully, I hardly noticed… until one of my young daytime charges didn't measure up to Susie skill with a bottle.
I'd just finished reading a story to the preschool crowd sitting at my feet. Ten-month-old Susie scooted her body away from the corner and stretched out in the middle of the playpen. "Susie tired," declared two-year-old Jamie, her African-American sister.
I reached for the lightweight blanket to cover Susie when the screech of a much younger infant exploded from the crib in my bedroom. Deni took the blanket out of my hand, gently laying it over her sister.
"Okay, kids, how about you go play outside for a bit. I'll feed the crying visitor and get a snack ready for you." Cheers and claps rang out as each youngster suggested a favorite snack on their way through the kitchen to the backyard.
Sitting in the rocker, warm milk ready for the tiny customer, I held it out to him. His eyes focused on mine. I waved the bottle over his face. His lips moved as he noticed the bottle, but his hands never moved from his sides. "Well, little man, take the bottle," I said with a smile. "That's what you're crying about, isn't it? Here; take it."
I lifted one of his hands, positioning it on the curve of the bottle. His teensy lips sucked like the tip of the bottle had already found the target. "C'mon, Davey*, hold your bottle. You aren't gonna grow up to be one of those men who needs his wife to do everything for him, are you? Here; hold on to it."
I placed the tip of the nipple near his moving lips. The infant lurched forward just enough to latch on. Boy, did Davey go for it. No way was he going to come up for air. "Whoa, Cowboy, not so fast; you're gonna choke." I pulled the bottle back, but Davey clamped down harder.
Slipping the tip of my finger in the side of his clenched lips broke the seal. The baby coughed and took a deep breath before expressing his red-faced frustration. In mid-scream, he burped so loudly it startled me. "Feel better, Davey?" I put the nipple back in his mouth. The loud sucking began before the rubber tip found its spot; milk dripped down his chin.
I held his bottle in one hand while he drank but continued trying to interest him in holding his own bottle. No go. As soon as I let go of his little forearm, he flapped his hand and grabbed my ear. "What's wrong with you Baby? Don't you want to feed yourself?"
Perhaps God wanted to spare Davey; a thought popped out of the reaches of my questioning mind. How old is Davey?
I began to laugh, apologizing between giggles. "Oh, you poor little Davey. I'm so sorry. Of course, you can't hold your own bottle. You're only six weeks old!" Because Susie was still a baby, I had automatically reckoned any baby could do what she did, duh.
A few days later, I experienced my own episode of unjust criticism. The authority had completely misinterpreted what she'd seen.

I would like firstly to thank you and, through you, all those others who contributed to making the Sea Serpent trip (02 to 09 November) so very pleasant, notwithstanding some rather rough weather. The boat is excellent and was well managed by the captain and his crew. The dive guides Essam and Antably were models of efficiency and kindness; the latter quality particularly evident in their assistance to one of the less experienced divers, who was occasionally in need of support and encouragement. The last night in the Marriott was luxury indeed; your kind provision of luncheon there yesterday for the group was particularly appreciated.
Fantastic boat. great food. cabins nice, bathrooms small but clean. staff incredible inc 2 great dive guides...but our last night unfortunately was not on board but due to overbooking by Sea Serpent, we spent it in Ivory Suites which was in a run down area close to Hurghada airport and not a good standard. But we would go back to Sea Serpent !
The boat was a gem - dive deck very good nice TV room on second deck and big outside middle and top decks, the food was excellent. Our room was fine for our needs great to be on middle decks, the bathroom and bedroom was clean etc) . The Crew and Dive guides just absolutely superb. You will need to rename the trip "The Hammerhead Tour". Our group saw eleven Hammerheads , yes eleven of them in one go awesome on Daedalus plus other sharks. So how does this compare with Blue 02 in January it doesn't. You win hands down!! There are diving holidays and there are Scuba Travel diving holidays. You are just SIMPLY THE BEST!!!! Best wishes

Best wishes Marcus and Gill
Daedalus, Zabagad and Rocky. Could not have picked a better trip for my first live aboard as a single diver. I was a bit apprehensive about traveling on my own, not knowing anyone on the trip but it turned out to be a fantastic holiday. The boat, crew, guides and other divers were fantastic, making it a special experience. Many thanks to Kati whose briefings were fun and informative and who guided us to the Hammerheads and Grey Reef Sharks. Can't wait for my next trip with Scuba Travel.
We had Mohammed and Chris our dive guides. They were both extremely professional. Worked together to always provide varied levels of dive guiding. Mohammed especially provided myself and my buddy extremely interesting and detailed tours of the wrecks! including parts I had never seen before! The crew were also very very friendly and the chef Hamed was a real character! Everyone on the boat had an awesome time!
Hi Gabby and Maria. Just wanted to thank you again for the brilliant time we had on the Sea Serpent trip (28th April-4th May). Your enthusiasm and energy were amazing. You obviously love what you do and are a credit to your profession. The way you ran the dive operation was first class, the briefings were informative and thorough, your knowledge was most impressive and the help you gave was appreciated by everybody. Have a safe season and I really hope to dive with you both again.
Hi Caroline, Georgina and Tristan. Cheers you guys , sorry i,ve not sent this earlier but eh , had great time on sea serpent , dive guide ahmed was absolutely superb , as was or were the crew , everything you organised came to fruitiation inc tickets at airport , nitrox course etc , even the chef on board knew not to feed me fish , had brilliant time , thank you , p.s. grey reef ... awesome.
Just a quick thank you for making such a memorable diving holiday for us all. The diving was, as expected, excellent. The quality of accommodation, service and food on Sea Serpent was, if anything, even better than the trip to St Johns that we made at the same time last year. The dive guides, Hany and Walid, were knowledgeable, professional and added just the right amount of humour at the right times. The crew couldn't have looked after us better. Your reps and the transfers were efficient. I'm trying to think of anything that could be improved but I can't so I'll leave it at that. Needless to say, Scuba Travel will be our preferred choice for future trips.
Hello, i am just writing to thank everyone on the Sea Serpent (15th-22nd July) for a fantastic week. Hanny and Sam were outstanding guides and really made the trip for all on board. The crew were attentive and very helpfull at all times and the catering guys were fantastic also. We saw just about everything in the water there was to see, and for that both guides deserve special praise. Please could you, on behalf of my wife Jackie an i, pass on my thanks to the whole staff on board and i look foward to another trip on board with the Sea Serpent Fleet. Thank You.
Alison, Just got back from the trip this morning. Had a great time with some spectacular diving. The guides were good and very knowledgeable of what could be found at the various dive sites. The one night at the hotel is also ideal as it gives you time to sort out, wash and dry your dive gear before the trip home. Many thanks again for all your help. I hope to travel again with you soon.

Redefining Fatherhood in Families with White Adolescent Mothers
Thirty white primiparous adolescent mothers were interviewed about social support and family relationships and about the role of the child's father. The interviews revealed that men other than the child's biological father must be considered in any discussion of adolescent parenthood. The relationships and types of support from four groups of fathers are described in detail. These groups are current husbands of the young mothers, former husbands or boyfriends who are the children's biological fathers, current boyfriends (not the biological fathers), and the mothers' own fathers or stepfathers

Muskogee DA to County Commission: "We're going to follow the law. It's as simple as that."
A fouled-up agenda led to some heated words between Muskogee's district attorney and county clerk on Monday (July 20) regarding Open Meeting Act requirements.
It ended with County Clerk Karen Anderson calling District Attorney Larry Moore an "ass," according to a source who was at the meeting.
The verbal exchange came after Moore refused to allow an emergency meeting of the County Board of Commissioners on Monday, the Muskogee Phoenix reported.
Anderson had tried to call the emergency meeting because the wrong date for Monday's regular meeting was listed on the posted agenda.
Anderson argued that the county could lose some interest on deposits and could have to pay late fees to vendors if purchase orders weren't approved Monday, the newspaper reported.
However, Moore said an emergency meeting was not justified because Anderson could call a special meeting for Wednesday (July 22) without sustaining any financial loss.
In what the newspaper described as "a heated verbal exchange," Anderson argued that state law allowed her to call a meeting of the county commissioners. Moore countered that such a meeting would still have to comply with the Open Meeting Act.
"I'm tired of catching grief on some of this stuff," Moore said. "We're going to follow the law. It's as simple as that."
Moore then gathered his papers and left. The newspaper reported that Anderson called Moore a name and said, "I'm not going to be talked to like that."
The Open Meeting Act allows public bodies to conduct emergency meetings "for the purpose of dealing with an emergency." An emergency "is defined as a situation involving injury to persons or injury and damage to public or personal property or immediate financial loss when the time requirements for public notice of a special meeting would make such procedure impractical and increase the likelihood of injury or damage or immediate financial loss." (OKLA. STAT. tit. 25, § 304(5))
If Moore is "tired of catching grief" over open meeting issues, he might be able to quiet his critics by prosecuting violations. That would make officials think twice before thumbing their noses at the public's right to know, which would leave taxpayers with fewer reasons to fuss at him.

I'm often juggling a few books and here is a fantastic one I'm reading at the moment, which I would thoroughly recommend if you've got two X chromosomes and you're interested in what being strong could do and could mean for you:
It's so important to surround yourself with resources and people who support what you're looking to achieve. We all know how demoralising it can feel when you tell someone about a new goal of yours, or something you're working to achieve, and they snub it, or tell you it can't be done.
It may well shake your belief in yourself and whether you can do it or not, and that will then affect your action towards it.
What if you believe unequivocally that you could, or at least you borrowed that belief off someone who had it, temporarily, until you had it yourself? Think of what you could achieve.

Concrete coating removal is necessary in Orlando, FL before a new coating is applied to the top of your concrete pool deck, walkway, or patio.
If you have a pool in your backyard, your deck may be made out of decorative concrete. If this surface was painted, but you want to stain the concrete instead, turn to us at Sealing Specialists. We can complete the concrete coating removal process if you want to eliminate a current coating from your concrete because you aren't happy with it. We can also remove a coating from your concrete if another product was used that didn't stick to the surface of the feature properly.
We often get asked why we don't simply go over the old concrete surface with a new product instead of completing the concrete coating removal process first. One of the main reasons why we completely remove the coating is because, once we apply a new product to the top of the concrete, it won't stick to the surface if there's something already underneath it.
When we perform the concrete coating removal process in the Orlando, Florida area, we only use products that we know and trust. This way, your time and money isn't wasted by entrusting your coating removal project to us. At Sealing Specialists, there's a reason why we're known for our quality work, and we look forward to introducing you to our proven processes.
If you have any questions about the concrete coating removal process, what it entails, and when it is needed, give us a call at Sealing Specialists today. We are always more than happy to answer your questions in order to provide you with the best experience possible.

Cone Beam 3D Imaging Silverdale, WA
Lowell Street Implant & Surgical Center is pleased to provide state of the art digital imaging with the use of our 3D cone beam CT scanner. This scanner provides high-definition, in-office, three-dimensional, digital imaging at a reduced cost and significantly less radiation than traditional medical CT scans.
Standard of Care
The standard of care has changed. While a cone-beam CT scan is not for every patient Dr. Wilde considers it a standard of care when treatment planning complex cases in which more critical 3-dimensional information is required (as in determining specific nerve/root relationships, sinus anatomy or critical evaluation of available bone prior to implant placement). The scans provide the best possible outcomes and care for Dr. Wilde's patients.
Insurance Coverage
Occasionally, when the scan is deemed to be medically related, a medical insurance company typical does provide insurance coverage for these scans. Most of the scans we obtain, however are for dental purposes, not medical, therefore medical insurance typically will not provide coverage for these scans.
New insurance codes for the cone-beam CT scans have recently been developed within the dental insurance industry. The dental industry is slowly adapting to provide coverage for cone-beam scans (coverage for this procedure can be determined by calling your insurance company to check the details of your individual plan).
Comparison of Cone Beam 3-D Technology and Medical Grade CT Scans
There are multiple advantages of Cone-Beam Technology compared with medical grade CT scans:
- Significantly lower dosages of radiation are delivered to the patient by Cone-Beam CT. The dosage of radiation received with certain types of Cone-Beam scans is only slightly higher than with a Panorex Film.
- Convenience: The Cone-Beam CT scan can be obtained while in Dr. Wilde's office, thereby eliminating the need to have multiple appointments with separate practices and results in immediate treatment determination.
- Multiple anatomic regions can be assessed 3-dimensionally in one scan eliminating the need for multiple PA and/or panoramic images. Both upper and lower jaws are scanned in one session eliminating the need for additional exposures.
- Accuracy: Due to the small voxel size of this modality, accuracy is generally stated to be within 0.1 mm superior to that of medical grade scans.
Common uses of the Cone Beam 3-D scanner are indicated below:
- Implants: Bone quantity and quality
- Periodontal: Underlying bone form
- Pathology: Definition and size of boney lesions
- TMJ: Bone form in joint
- Skeletal analysis: For orthodontic diagnosis
- Inferior alveolar position
- Pre and post bone grafting evaluation
- Sinus disease detection
- Extractions: Wisdom teeth relationship to the vital structure
- Pre-surgical treatment
- Endodontic evaluation and root fracture
- Facial trauma
- Skeletal analysis
- Root positions
- Impacted canine
- TAD (Temporary Anchorage Device) positioning
Our Cone Beam 3D scans provide these benefits:
- Significantly less radiation than medical CT Scans
- No distortion
- Noninvasive and can eliminate the need for exploratory surgery in some cases
- Unparalleled 3D images
- Accurate measurements to 0.01 mm
- Clear depiction of internal anatomy
- Excellent assessment of bone dimensions and quality
- Predetermined precise implant placement
- Interactive 3D implant planning and interactive 3-D images
- Bone quality measurements
- Sinus evaluation measurements
- Grafting measurements for bone and tissues
- All – on – Four implant procedures
Our Cone Beam 3D scan has a myriad of applications for every dental specialty. We invite you to come and see how we can help you.

As bizarre it may seem to be getting calls from himself, which have no existence on his phone records, he decides to go with the flow and trust the caller. His life turns around in a few weeks. But all good things come at a price, and when he accidentally lets slip the secret of his success, everything starts unraveling. It's up to his girlfriend and his psychiatrist to figure out who is this mystery caller and is Karthik all right in his head. The execution of the second half of the movie is pretty good. If only the same effort and class was applied to the first half which is full of clichs, lame songs and over the top acting by both Farhan Akthar and Deepika Padukone.
