TimKBDU necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 161 diseños de 35 diseñadores freelance.
Fresh, aviation-related logo needed for Boulder Municipal Airport in Boulder, Colorado. Logo will be used on airport signs, letterhead, web site, and various brochures.
Boulder Municipal Airport
Desired Color Scheme:
See main description
Desired Style:
See main description
Accepted File Formats:
DESIGN: I envision the logo integrating the well-known "Flatirons" mountain formations that are on the City logos but also transmitting a clear message that it's for an airport (i.e. including a plane, contrails, propellors, runway, etc). Using similar mountain designs is also fine.
The airport is a General Aviation airport and not a passenger airport. The most common planes that operate here are single propeller or twin propeller aircraft, with a few business jets and gliders. The airport does not have a control tower or radar, so please don't add those to the logo.
COLORS: The City of Boulder typically uses burgundy, light green, or light purple, but the logo doesn't have to have those colors. Since it's for aviation, I also envision the use of blues, silver, etc. I think 2-4 colors would be best on a white background or contained inside a horizontal light-colored rectangle.
PAYMENT TO WINNER: Credit card is best, but check or PayPal may be possible too.

Costume drama
Certain film costumes become iconic, like Audrey Hepburn's little black Givenchy dress from "Breakfast At Tiffany's," or the sexy white halter dress Marilyn Monroe's wore in "The Seven-Year Itch."
But does the bias-cut emerald green silk dress worn by Kiera Knightley in "Atonement" best them all? The gown has been voted the best film costume of all time in a survey run by Sky Movies and InStyle magazine. Read more…

Gamble in Black Hawk, earn reward offers and comps for Las Vegas casinos
Ameristar Casinos and MGM Resorts International have struck a partnership that will allow Black Hawk gamblers to earn perks for Vegas properties.
Based on information provided to me, this isn't some sort of lame agreement that simply allows MGM to send marketing materials to members of Ameristar's rewards program, Star Awards.
Instead, Star Awards members will receive MGM comps based on their tier and daily level of play at the Ameristar casino in Black Hawk. Personalized quarterly offers may include complimentary hotel rooms and casino "free play" chips for participating MGM casinos. Those include ARIA, Bellagio, Vdara, MGM Grand, Mandalay Bay, The Mirage, Monte Carlo and New York-New York in Vegas.
The partnership works both ways, m Read more…

Registration for this summer's Institute of Genealogy and Historical Research (IGHR) will open on Tuesday, January 17, 2012.
To prevent an overload of the online registration system, the opening of course registration will be staggered with different courses being opening at different times. Please see the schedule of times below. Once open, registration for each course will remain open until the course is full. All times are Central Standard Time.
PLEASE NOTE: Before a course has opened for registration, it will show up on the registration website as FULL. Don't panic. Once the course opening time has passed, it will no longer appear full (until the course is actually full, of course).
PAYMENT NOTE: In order to be in compliance with federal laws, we will not be able to take any credit card numbers over the phone this year. If you wish to use a credit card to register, you will need to register online.
Opening at 10:00 a.m. CST:
Course 1: Techniques and Technology
Course 4: Advanced Methodology and Evidence Analysis
Opening at 10:30 a.m. CST:
Course 3: Research in the South, Part I
Course 5: Writing and Publishing for Genealogists
Opening at 11:00 a.m. CST:
Course 2: Intermediate Genealogy and Historical Studies
Course 7: Virginia's Land & Military Conflicts
Course 9: Military Records Research III: 1821-1919
Opening at 11:30 a.m. CST:
Course 6: Advanced Library Research: Law Libraries & Government Documents
Course 8: Researching African-American Ancestors
Course 10: Tracing Your English Ancestors
The Institute itself will take place on June 10-15, 2012.
For more information, including more information on the courses being offered and how to register on the Jan. 17, visit the IGHR website at http://www4.samford.edu/
I've received an e-mail from a previous attendee who expressed concern that we may be "asking too much" at the time of registration due to the rate at which courses have been filling up the past few years. Returning attendees, she reasoned, might have an unfair advantage over first-timers as they might be able to submit their registrations more quickly.
To make the online registration process easier/smoother we introduced the downloadable registration guide to the IGHR website: http://www4.samford.edu/
This guide is a step-by-step walkthrough of the entire process, from the moment you click on the link to the confirmation e-mail you get afterwards. We've even made efforts to keep the file size relatively small to make downloading easier and designed it so that you wouldn't use up quite as much ink when printing.
If you're planning on registering for this year's IGHR, we strongly recommend you download and read through this guide beforehand. Print it out and scribble some notes on it if you want. That way you can avoid spending precious time reading over information at the time of registration. Even IGHR veterans should gain some benefit from it as we have introduced some new options for those staying on campus or purchasing a meal ticket.

Forget 2012 apocalyptic fears, doomsday is in our midst and set to explode by year 2030 when the number of obese adults will balloon to 164 million, roughly half the adult population in the U.S according to a new study. TrekDesk Treadmill Desks urges a Movement Revolution to prevent the prediction from becoming reality.
"We already have an adult population that is 68% overweight with half of them obese but this new projection should wake America up to the dire consequences we face if we don't mount an effort now to stop it and get people moving and eating sensibly," stated Steve Bordley, CEO of TrekDesk Treadmill Desk.
According to the Organization for Economic Development and Cooperation (OECD) study, this rise in obesity will equate to 7.8 million more cases of diabetes, 6.8 million more cases of heart disease and stroke, and more than half a million more cases of cancer.
Is there any hope? Yes. Losing small amounts of weight could decrease the projected increases in rates of disease. Losing just 1% of BMI (body-mass index) on a population wide basis (approximately 2 lbs. for a 200 lb. adult) would reduce the rates significantly: diabetes by 2 million, heart disease by 1.5 million, and cancer by 73,000 to 127,000 cases.
The average American walks less than 2.5 miles per day, nearly half of the amount of healthier European nations. This sedentary lifestyle is a leading contributor to our growing rates of obesity. Walking while working for 3-4 hours with a TrekDesk Treadmill Desk allows individuals to achieve the Surgeon General's minimum recommendations for 10,000 steps per day and would also equate to a weight loss of 3-4 pounds per month for an average individual.
America leads the world in obesity and obesity related diseases. We wage wars on terror, crime, and drugs but the biggest threat to our nation's security (health and financial) is obesity. America needs to recognize its biggest enemy and take the necessary steps to defeat it.

Tablet sales will hit nearly 500 million units a year by 2015, according to a new report by BI Intelligence.
Global tablet sales in 2015 will exceed the number of PCs currently sold per year (~360 million) and make tablets a $100+ billion market.
The forecast, which includes e-readers, predicts that tablet sales will grow at better than a 50% compound annual growth rate over the next few years.
The growth will be driven by falling prices combined with tablet penetration in the enterprise and education markets, as well as emerging markets.
Here are some highlights from the report, whose lead author is BI Intelligence analyst Alex Cocotas:
- We really are in a post-PC era. Smartphone unit sales passed PC sales last year. Tablet sales will follow in a few years. As Steve Jobs said, PCs will become like "trucks" and tablets like "cars": PCs will still be around, and they'll still be a big market, but they won't become the most common way people do their computing anymore.
- Tablets are a disruptive technology relative to PCs: Not as good at some things (spreadsheets and the like), but much better at other things (browsing the web, apps), cheaper, and improving all of the time.
Here's what will be the biggest drivers of the growth in tablets:
- Lower prices. The Kindle Fire has been a smashing success, showing the pent-up demand for a good, sub-$500 tablet. We think Google will use its Motorola acquisition to come out with a cheap, subsidized tablet a la Amazon. And we think Apple will lower prices, most likely by selling older models at a lower price point like it did with the iPhone. And we think e-readers (in light blue in the chart below) will remain a big market as their price drops near to zero and they work as loss-leaders for digital publishing.
- The enterprise. Though tablets won't work for a lot of business applications, it's undeniable that they're making headway in the enterprise. We see this accelerating.
- Education. iBooks was just the start. This is a sector that is crying out for disruption and for a useful, lightweight computing device.
- Emerging markets. A billion more people are coming online, and most of them are going to do it through mobile. A lot of them will also do it through tablets, which are cheaper and more convenient.

text: Dr. Charles D. Canham Forest Ecologist Share: May 11, 2008 Forests The fire in Minnewaska State Park last month, which burned more than 3,000 acres, is a reminder of how difficult it can be to control wildfires. But for more than a century, we have been extraordinarily successful at doing just that. The Hudson Valley is not unique in this regard - fire suppression has been a guiding principle of land management across the country.But fire suppression can backfire. In some forests it allows accumulation of fuels to levels that eventually lead to catastrophic fires. This has been the case in many areas of the western United States in recent years. Closer to home, it is clear that fires play an important role in the ecology of the pine barrens of the Shawangunk Ridge, and that finding ways to manage fires, rather than eliminate them, is important for both conservation and public safety.It is much less widely recognized that fires played an important role in the history of forests throughout the Hudson Valley, and that fire suppression has led to inevitable and probably irreversible changes in our forests. Historical records from the 1700s provide us with a snapshot of our forests during the first major wave of land clearing. When subdividing land to sell to settlers, early landowners marked the corners of parcels by recording the identities and sizes of nearby "witness" trees.The story told by the witness trees has been repeated up and down the east coast of the US. The oaks that dominated many pre-settlement forests have declined dramatically. Over 250 years ago, almost 80 percent of the trees in the Cary Institute's forests were oaks; their numbers have been reduced by more than half. Maples, which were almost nonexistent in the 1700s, now make up 40 percent of the trees in our forests.Ecologists attribute most of this transformation to fire suppression. It has been argued that Native Americans deliberately set fires to open up the forests and improve game habitat. Regardless of the motive or intent of Native Americans, early European explorers and botanists made frequent mention of fires in the forests of southern New England.In our region, oak species have thick bark that allows trees to survive low-intensity ground fires. In contrast, red maple and sugar maple have thinner bark that makes them vulnerable to fire. Oak seedlings and saplings also need lots of light to thrive, and periodic ground fires are thought to have maintained an open forest canopy. Once established, the shade-tolerant sugar maples with their dense canopies shade out the oaks.But unlike the pine barrens of Minnewaska, where fire suppression leads to accumulation of highly flammable fuel, something very different is happening in our oak forests. Spring is fire season in the Hudson Valley because of the unique properties of oak leaves. They have very low concentrations of nitrogen, and as a result, are very slow to decompose over winter. Come spring they make excellent fuel for a wildfire.Maple leaves decompose much more rapidly over winter. By spring, little is left to carry a fire along the forest floor. As the maples displace oaks under the protection of active fire suppression, we are creating forests that become progressively less susceptible to fire.Land managers did not set out to transform oak forests to maple forests, but our management of natural ecosystems is rife with unintended consequences. A harder lesson to learn is that it is very difficult to go back in time.The pine barrens of Minnewaska are biologically unique, and deserve the preservation that can only come from restoring "natural" fire regimes. In most other forests in the Hudson Valley, there is no clear ecological justification for turning the clock back to 1750.Fire - once arguably the dominant ecological process in our landscape - has effectively ceased to be a factor in our forests, and has been replaced by forces such as climate change, air pollution and introduced species. Share: Dr. Charles D. Canham Forest Ecologist Charles Canham studies the dynamics of forest ecosystems and how they respond to a wide range of human impacts. Using field research, novel statistical methods, and computer models, Canham predicts forest response to factors including climate change, introduced pests and pathogens, logging regimes, and air pollution.

Cloud Security
Making use of cloud computing resources like Google's App Engine, or Salesforce.com, or Amazon S3, while all the rage, still makes some folks nervous. In particular, heads of enterprise development organizations who feel the need to tell their developers, "Nah-ah. Unless it's behind our firewall, you can't use it."
At the Google I/O conference yesterday, I got to ask Vic Gundotra, their VP of developer programs, if nervousness over security issues in cloud computing were paranoid, or justified. His answer was insightful:
"There was a time when the thought that your local bank would be transferring your money around the world across networks was unthinkable. But the banking industry earned our trust. The same sort of trust will have to develop with cloud resources."
Now, he didn't say there weren't security issues, just that dealing with them sensibly is all bound up in that "earning the trust" issue. I'm curious as to how many of you out there have faced organizational resistance to using cloud compute resources (due to security concerns or anything else). What do you see as the unique security challenges with this sort of highly connected form of development?

Computers 101 – How to Turn on Your Laptop
Parents know how to push your buttons because, hey, they sewed them on.
– Camryn Manheim –
The instructions for powering up my Sony VAIO laptop are pretty simple. They are found on a sheet of paper that is filed in a folder in the cabinet in our home office. They read:
Lift the LCD screen lid – Press the power button until the power indicator light turns on.
(Apparently I either never read those instructions, or if I did, I forgot them. And really, how much use is a piece of paper in the file cabinet anyhow?)
Unlike many computers, the power button for my laptop is a large button on the right side of the machine. Most laptops have a power button that is under the lid. If a button is under a lid, it can't be pushed until the lid is opened. If it is on the outside, it says (to me anyhow) you can push me first if you like and then open the lid – which I have been doing for two years and it almost always caused the computer to start up. Almost always.
The first time my computer would not turn on, I ended up taking it to the repair shop. They charged me $50 and told me they could find nothing wrong. Apparently they opened the lid before they pushed the 'on' button, but they didn't bother to explain that to me because, well, they assumed I would already know that.
The second time my computer would not turn on, I decided I had better trouble shoot the problem myself and save the $50. In the course of poking and prodding the lifeless little beast, I must have lifted the lid ever so slightly before pressing the power button. The computer leaped into action. It dawned on me then that the lid might have to be lifted ever so slightly before the computer would start, and yes, the instructions in the file cabinet confirmed that.
There are several lessons in this little story. The first is, just because you have done something in a certain way several thousand times, don't assume you will always get the same result the next time you try it. All it takes is the smallest alteration of one insignificant parameter (in this case the ever so slight difference between a lid that is closed, and a lid that is not quite closed) to change the result. The second lesson is, learn from the mistakes of others – you can never live long enough to make them all yourself. (Don't thank me, I'm glad to be a lesson in what not to do.)
There are three kinds of men; the ones that learn by reading, the few who learn by observation, the rest of them have to pee on the electric fence.
– Will Rogers –
If Sony had a sticker on the lid of the computer that said "open the lid before pushing the 'On' button" would I have thought, "Gee, that is a helpful little piece of advice" or would I have thought "Duh, doesn't everyone know that"?
41 thoughts on "Computers 101 – How to Turn on Your Laptop"
I agree wholeheartedly. Everything should run the same. I have problems with cell phones. I cannot figure out why I have to press the Off button to turn it On when there is a perfectly good green On button. I'm in IT and support people with computers. Mostly we found the problem with 90% of the help calls were between the keyboard and the chair 🙂
Glad you figured it out. It is a pure shame that they charged you $50 for nothing. But I guess you can now save a bunch of others that cost. I must admit I had never heard of lifting the cover first. Probably because my laptop goes to sleep and to wake it up I need to press the button under the cover or wiggle the mouse til I see the logon button. Oh well, will remember when I get a new one to post the instructions. I am a bit dodgy in that I usually do read instructions. Although now I'm finding that they make you go to their website to get the entire instruction book. Guess they know most people don't read 'em anyway.
A smallest alteration can be a leap for others though… Quotes are great! Enjoyed reading your post!
You reminded me of when I got a laptop after I had been using the Ipad for sometime. I was so excited to use my new toy, oops, I mean "tool" (hee) that I unconsciously started tapping the screen. For a few seconds I was alerted with a fear that it came from the factory in a non-working condition. Shaking off my anxiety I realized my mistake immediately. Ha! The joke was on me. Thanks for sharing this info on computers. Just when we think we have it down. Well, you know something in the old hard drive between my ears cliches. 😉

Is the world economy turning Japanese?
We examine the vulnerability of economies such as the US, Europe and China to "Japanese disease" and discuss how authorities could potentially avoid deflation.
For 25 years Japan has seen low growth, low or negative inflation and low bond yields. A link to the full document is provided below, but in summary, we find that China and Europe seem most likely to suffer from this "Japanese disease".
The US appears to have enough differences compared to Japan to suggest that deflation is not going to become the default state.
What needs to happen?
If deflation is a threat, not yet a promise, what needs to happen to avoid it?
Probably not much. The labour market is flexible and banks are functional. Should the threat grow, government can consider using fiscal measures such as debt forgiveness (e.g. student loans).
Germany has a solid fiscal position and is underinvested in public infrastructure. Fiscal constraints are hampering Italian efforts to clean up and recapitalise their banks.
If fiscal policy is crimping demand and stopping structural reform then it is too tight. The question for Europe is whether the politics and institutional framework of the eurozone can allow for a reversal and accept an expansionary fiscal policy.
In some ways, China looks like Japan in the 1970s – coming off its investment boom, but a long way from a bubble and crisis. In other ways it looks as though it is succumbing to Japanese disease in terms of its declining growth and inflation.
China has overcapacity in some industries which is driving deflationary pressure. It needs to address this overcapacity. Given the deflationary pressure it probably also needs looser monetary policy.
That is difficult to do without also leading to a weaker currency, which is politically difficult. The overarching conclusion is that there are certainly things that can be done to alleviate deflationary pressure.
But many of them would be considered quite radical and necessitate some considerable political movement in both China and Germany.

Few travel awards get as much attention as the annual "Top 10 Dirtiest Hotels in the U.S." from TripAdvisor, and the roster released this week from the popular travel site is no exception.
It has Colorado buzzing more than usual, though, because for the first time, one of our own got tapped for this not-so-honorable mention: the Super 8 Estes Park at 1040 Big Thompson Ave.
Not cool, to say the least, especially considering that Estes Park is the top destination for Denverites and one of the biggest draws in the state for out-of-towners.
Owner Mary Chung, who has run the motel for more than two decades with her husband, Vincent Chung, says she was "completely caught off guard" by what she calls her "worst nightmare."
"I don't know how to address the article," Chung says. "Some of the comments are older ones; some of these issues are older ones. Some of these things are things that have already been taken care of. I don't think it's fair that they are part of this now."
On the site, the most recent comments were from guests who called it a "dismal dump" in October, guests in September who noted that the "ceiling plaster in the bathroom was…disgusting with old water stains" and a visit from August that said the bathtub "had black mold growing around the base."

SHIPPING: We currently ship only to the 48 contiguous United States. Most items ship directly from the manufacturer. Most items ship within 3-5 business days, however, some large rugs and furniture items may take 2-4 weeks to be delivered, depending on the manufacturer and the time of year (back-to-school, August-October is the peak season and may incur longer delivery times.) We are unable to ship to P.O. Boxes.
Over-sized furniture and rug items will ship by truck and may incur additional fees. All truck deliveries are "tailgate" only. Lift gate and inside delivery is available upon request for an additional charge.
Please open and inspect all truck delivered packages before signing for delivery. If shipping damage is found, please refuse delivery.
When you sign for your order, you are accepting your order "as is". Refusing a damaged package saves on shipping cost because the freight company can not bill for shipping when a package has been refused.

Anthropologist Awarded Frederick Douglass Medal
by Dan Wang
The University of Rochester will award the Frederick Douglass Medal to renowned anthropologist Yolanda T. Moses, a leading scholar on the origins of social inequality, former president of the City College of New York, and one of the driving forces behind the creation of the traveling exhibition"RACE: Are We So Different?" currently at the Rochester Museum & Science Center.
"Dr. Moses is eminently qualified to receive this recognition for both her scholarly contributions and the public impact of her service," said Cilas Kemedjio, director of the Frederick Douglass Institute for African and African American Studies, which sponsors the annual award. "Her willingness to serve her discipline and higher education at large is among the most striking aspects of her accomplishments."
University President Joel Seligman will present the medal to Moses at 4 p.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 6, in the Hawkins-Carlson Room before her lecture "Social Justice and its Challenges." A panel discussion with activists and academics follows. The event is free and open to the public.
A professor of anthropology at the University of California at Riverside, Moses studies the origins of social inequality in complex societies through the use of comparative ethnographic and survey methods. She has focused on gender and class disparities in the Caribbean, East Africa, and the United States. More recently, she turned to issues of diversity and change in universities and colleges in the United States, India, Europe and South Africa.
"Like Frederick Douglass, Yolanda Moses has spent her professional life seeking to understand the rationalizations that buttress racial discrimination in the United States and abroad," said President Seligman. "Her insights make her a compelling advocate for greater diversity in higher education."
A past president of the American Anthropological Association, Moses is currently the associate vice chancellor for Diversity, Equity and Excellence at the University of California at Riverside. She also is involved in national projects to promote diversity in education with the National Council for Research on Women and the Women of Color Research Collective.
Moses has served as chair of the advisory board for the traveling RACE exhibit, which explores the topic of race through the lens of anthropology, biology, and history. The exhibit helps visitors understand the everyday experience of living with race and provides background on the history of race as an idea. RACE also shares the findings of contemporary science that are challenging the concept of race all together. In Rochester, the exhibit serves as the centerpiece of a community-wide initiative to help understand and break down barriers to equal opportunity.
Moses is a co-author of the exhibit's companion book and author of the earlier book How Real is Race: A Sourcebook on Race, Culture and Biology (2007). She received her doctorate from the University of California at Riverside and an honorary doctorate from Bloomfield College of
New Jersey.
Created in 2008, the Frederick Douglass medal has been awarded to six prior recipients: Garth Fagan, founder and artistic director of Garth Fagan Dance; Deborah Gray White, professor of history at Rutgers University; Lani Guinier, professor of law at Harvard University; Gerald Torres, professor of law at the University of Texas at Austin; David Kearns, former CEO of Xerox Corp.; and Walter Cooper, retired research scientist at Eastman Kodak Co.

Limp Shevardnadze
Surprisingly there are not that many easily accessible, good books on Georgia in English. This one was written by an American journalist who lived there for two years from October 1998. It is a great book and great portrait of those most troubled of years. Like the good storyteller she is Wendell Steavenson mixes reportage, history and plenty of colour about her own life, including the moment her German boyfriend became a legend in Tbilisi by buying all the roses in the city so that he could send her a thousand. Then she turns down his offer of marriage. In this extract Steavenson describes the party held after Eduard Shevardnadze's re-election to the presidency on 9 April 2000. Shevardnadze was the last Soviet foreign minister and then leader of Georgia from 1992. Of the poll itself Steavenson writes: "Everyone knew the Shevy landslide was coming. In the week before the polls opened the question was not so much who would win by what margin, but whether the result would be mildly fixed or superglued." In November 2003 Shevardnadze was overthrown in the Rose Revolution by one of his former young protégés, Mikhail Saakashvili.
There were several hundred people at the party. It was held outside, under a dirty bit of tarpaulin which collapsed at the first gust of wind. Most of those present were men in suits glad-handing each other and politicking. There were foreign ambassadors, "Georgia! Ha! It's going down the tubes," one told me; a couple of Shevy's pretty granddaughters; Misha (smoothie) Saakashvili, an up-and-coming parliamentarian who was soon given the poison chalice of a ministry post; a lost Scottish MP from the Scottish National Party who wanted to talk to the Georgians about devolution ("Devolution is pretty advanced in the Caucasus," I told him); Irakle Managadze, president of the National Bank, who was chortling proudly, "The lari is the only stable thing in the country!"; an agriculture committee member who was looking forward to his minister getting fired next week; a shark called Boris Berezovsky… Nanuli, Shevy's wife, was like a whale, hefted into an armchair and holding court with a superior smile.
Shevy played his favourite role of amiable elder statesman, grinning, shaking hands, bluff and personable. A male choir sang polyphonically.
The canapés were fine, Shevy's speech no more platitudinous than any other politician's, the champagne and lurid green tarragon fizzy pop flowed, but somehow the whole thing felt lame. Perhaps it was the cynicism and despondency of the conversation. A lack of forward dynamic, dulled optimism; the atmosphere of bandied quips and investitured smugness that made everything seem swampy, bogged down with vested interest. I shook Shevy's hand and to be honest it was a bit limp.

text: ClearFiber™: Dissolves with No Grit or Thickening According to the American Diabetic Association, Americans get only half of the 25 to 35 grams of dietary fiber needed each day. Fiber provides several important benefits, but adding it to the diet through supplements has often meant chewing unpleasant tablets or drinking thick liquids. ClearFiber™ by Vitabase solves these problems. ClearFiber™ powder dissolves easily in most liquids or foods without grit or thickening. Help for Constipation and Other Digestive Issues ClearFiber™ uses a unique patented fiber called SunFiber™. SunFiber™ is made from guar gum, a natural plant grown primarily in India and Asia. As a water-soluble fiber, it helps restore regularity to stools, providing relief from constipation. Increasing mass in the intestines helps speed the removal of waste and bacteria from the bowel and colon. Fiber offers many other benefits as well. For example, a diet high in fiber promotes and supports healthy cholesterol levels.

X11 Title Text Explanation
In my absence was it finally decided forever and always how title text explanations would be handled? I can't find a discussion in the Community Portal, if you have a link I'd be interested to come up to speed on the current editing policies. lcarsos_a (talk) 22:44, 7 January 2014 (UTC)
- A BIG problem is here still that there are NO editing policies in general. I'm just following the main "feel and look". In standard explains the title text is just at the bottom of the explain, and trivia goes after transcript. You are an admin here and maybe you should talk to User:Davidy22. In general I think that X11 still needs a better layout. --Dgbrt (talk) 23:11, 7 January 2014 (UTC)
- Ok. I had wondered about that. My personal policy, when I was an active editor a year ago, was once a title text explanation is longer than 2 paragraphs it should get it's own subsection. I'll have to get a dialogue started with Davidy about it once more.
- So you know, the English phrase is "look and feel". I know English isn't your first language, I just wanted to correct you on that. If I tried typing in German, I'd probably embarrass myself, and you'd have to help me.
Think you may have marked this as complete a smidgen early - it needed a bit of cleanup, and a few more tweaks (the joke about theology wasn't explained, really). I've done it now, though. 22.214.171.124 16:40, 10 January 2014 (UTC)
- You are welcome to enhance this explain, but in general it's not incomplete any more. If you feel the explain is still incomplete just add the tag again and provide a reason. --Dgbrt (talk) 18:02, 10 January 2014 (UTC)
- Eh, I got it. It was just a couple little things - the Ontological Argument joke, and such. I suppose, though, that "I had intended to do more work on it" isn't really an argument against removing it, is it? 220.127.116.11 18:26, 10 January 2014 (UTC)
Cthulhu and Azathoth (1040)
I can only presume you haven't read Lovecraft, but those are the best known sealed-away gods in modern literature. Cthulhu is supposed to live in the extreme depths, Azathoth beyond time, surrounded by insane pipers. They're a far better explanation than the Harry Potter one which is far, far more tangental - it sings in a bath, and contains nothing that could escape - but you're leaving in.
I doubt there's a precise reference being made to anything in the comic, but Cthulhu and other Lovecraftian Gods are the overwhelmingly likely inspiration. Unless someone has a better explanation. I suppose one could discuss The Abyss as well. 22.214.171.124 11:27, 17 January 2014 (UTC)
- I disagree, this comic contains only REAL things. This is NO horror fiction. --Dgbrt (talk) 19:58, 17 January 2014 (UTC)
- The door at the bottom of the Marinas Trench is real now? James Cameron really released something on the world because he was distracted by its beautiful music? I think you've missed the actual context of the specific discussion. 126.96.36.199 11:36, 18 January 2014 (UTC)
Next time you see errors, could you post the output of this link somewhere? Davidy²²[talk] 08:09, 22 January 2014 (UTC)
- I will do so, but currently there are no problems. It's working great. --Dgbrt (talk) 08:19, 22 January 2014 (UTC)
- Actually, could you get me the output to that file currently for now? And again in the future if downtime ever does occur. Davidy²²[talk] 09:13, 22 January 2014 (UTC)
Here we are, I'm online here via "webproxy.ca" right now. My route from Germany to explainxkcd stops somewhere in Chicago (Illinois) in the US [1]:

At this time I even don't get an error message, my browser is loading... and loading... What is it? I'm reaching the US from Germany but then it stops.

Holy crab, I'm back from a three day business trip. I did figure it out, it wasn't an ISP issue at all, it was just a remain at my local configuration attempting to avoid former problems. I was looking on this problem everywhere, but not at my own manual overwrites. Shame on me, Human Error. But this error is still much better than a BOT Error; so I'm hoping my BOT will behave on Friday again like it should do. --Dgbrt (talk) 21:50, 29 January 2014 (UTC)
- My crab, ehh.. bot should perform as before. My sweet eight legged animal did fail, caused by some former chaos here. I'm hoping that future updates will perform as before, even if an update is late. --Dgbrt (talk) 23:26, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
Original transcripts
Where can I find the original xkcd transcripts? 0100011101100001011011010110010101011010011011110110111001100101 (talk page) 23:32, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
- Look at the HTML source. There is a DIV-tag named "transcript", often, but not always Randall provides a hidden transcript here. And sometimes there are deeper information, helpful for explain.
- I'm using Firefox and the Add-On "Stylish" to show me this content at the comic page itself. The code is:
@namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml); @-moz-document domain("xkcd.com") { #transcript { display: block !important; font-variant: normal !important; } }

The undo button gives you the version of the page prior to the edit that you hit undo on. When you disagree with one part of an edit, hitting the undo button reverts everything else as well. Don't default to the undo button unless you're absolutely sure that the entire edit is bad. Davidy²²[talk] 00:14, 19 February 2014 (UTC)
- I'm using the Undo Button only when I do know what I do delete. That's similar to an update here, I'm still trying to avoid an "edit conflict" here. But some actions here don't make me happy here, I don't know if my actions here are welcome. I don't need a thanks, but the latest GIFs were done by my BOT — that main table would not work without my work. My Undo is mostly done on an another Undo without any given reason, if there was a reason I do reply in a proper manner.--Dgbrt (talk) 00:30, 19 February 2014 (UTC)
- There's been a fair few cases in the past and with this particular case where you've defaulted to autoreverting an edit when the edit button would have sufficed. Disagreements need not be made personal; it is possible for a disagreement to occur without assuming insult. I track recent changes for vandalism/peacekeeping/comment signing duties and while I don't tend to interfere that often with daily happenings, I have noticed that a healthy portion of arguments have included you. Swearing isn't a strictly appropriate response to a user removing an incomplete tag or rewriting an explanation, even if you strongly disagree with it. try to avoid defaulting to arguing. Davidy²²[talk] 03:28, 19 February 2014 (UTC)

--Dgbrt (talk) 20:27, 22 February 2014 (UTC)
Hi Dgbrt. This is just a question for my personal curiosity. After seeing this edit, I started wondering whether the use of "when" in that sentence was due to you being a native German speaker. I'm asking because I follow a blog by a Dutch guy who also uses "when" all the time, in sentences where it would make more sense to use "if" instead. Does the equivalent to "when" have extra meanings in Dutch and/or German, outside of the English time-based meaning?
Cheers, Waldir (talk) 23:08, 24 February 2014 (UTC)
- Hi Waldir, "if" is more a question about an issue while "when" is more about time. I'm not native English but I'm still trying to learn — Google gives me "if" as "indien" in dutch, and "when" as "wanneer". Since I do know Plattdeutsch I do know many funny misunderstandings belonging even on this simple word. A hurt in English is a pain, in Dutch it is a "pijn", but in German the word "peinlich" doesn't match this meanings at all. I'm doing mistakes on understanding languages, but I still have many fun on exploring. Don't know if (<-NOT WHEN) I did answer your question. --Dgbrt (talk) 23:46, 24 February 2014 (UTC)
- Although "when" is "wenn" in German and "if" is "falls", it is very common to use "wenn" for both meanings. Therefore, many Germans (including me) tend to use "when" even
whenthey mean "if". Although I don't speak Dutch, I know that it is very similar to German, so it might be the same issue. --18.104.22.168 14:57, 25 February 2014 (UTC)
- Using "when" is often a false friend used by Germans, like I did before. In German "wenn" means "when", "if", and more in English; so you have to care about those different words in English. I'm still happy to learn more about the English language, in general it's believed to be more simple than German. But in my opinion this just means that English is much more precise and shorter. --Dgbrt (talk) 21:17, 25 February 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks guys for the explanations, they were both enlightening and amusing! I just want to clarify that sometimes it is acceptable to use "when" in English to refer to a general condition rather than a strictly time-based one (as it seems to be the case in German), but the distinction may be subtler/stricter than in German. This answer explains it well, I think: "If you say 'when' something happens, you imply it definitely will happen, even if the precise timing is unknown. You use 'if' when (!) there's uncertainty about whether the event will happen at all." --Waldir (talk) 17:24, 26 February 2014 (UTC)
Hi! Despite our slight disagreement regarding the alt text explanation over "Purity", I did want to thank you for going over some of my edits and cleaning them up. The link format here is slightly different than what I'm used to, and it screwed me up. As well, I tend to overuse parenthesis. Don't feel bad about proofreading my edits - I do appreciate it.
If you're confused as to my objection over Purity, I've left a note on the talk page for that comic explaining why I feel what existed before is not sufficient. Jetman123 (talk) 13:12, 10 March 2014 (UTC)
- I appreciate your thanks. My answer on that specific title text is here: Talk:435: Purity --Dgbrt (talk) 19:47, 10 March 2014 (UTC)
German translation
A translation isn't easy at all, my local German page is still mostly in English. It's not easy to figure out the important tamplates, but I did some more enhancements — if the general page does work, the remaining work only belongs to translation (not easy at all).
I think we should start this soon, and because even German people do know English as well there is no need to translate it all. Sometimes just a hint gives a shot. --Dgbrt (talk) 19:05, 15 March 2014 (UTC)

The reason I deleted the message in the first place was that it wasn't meant for me in particular, but meant to be placed in the discussion for 1351. One reason I think that this was meant to be in that discussion is because this is a) the first time metamaterials were mentioned in xkcd (as far as I know); b) the user said "can anybody link" in their message, asking anybody in particular to help. I doubt people check my talk page for a discussion of an xkcd; and c) I did not start, nor join, nor end any discussion about metamaterials and their validity.
So... I'm just asking if you consider it valid to delete it, or if, in your opinion, I should leave it there (I have already added their (exact) words to the discussion for the comic, so that is already there). greptalk22:33, 04 April 2014 (UTC)
- In general a discussion should not be deleted at all; I could do the same on this topic, too. Furthermore you do invite people to discuss, so just give them a kind reply. This even could be like -> here we go for further talks. But deleting that looks like ignoring this. Your user page proposes something different. --Dgbrt (talk) 22:48, 4 April 2014 (UTC)
Categories for Lorenz
Hi Dgbrt
Why do you think that obvious categories should not be displayed for Lorenz? See my comment on the talk page. I agree that no input text should give rise to caregories, but what is included in the pictures should. You seem to have accepted color, but Hairy is in most stories wheras only seven panels have colour!
I would use the list below - please explain why not - preferably better than you have so far in the comments on edition or talk page. And also why you should make that ruling?
If you can explain I will stop asking about it. But as of now it was the text below I was ready to add. (I may agree to removing a few - like because the light saber is not ennough for SW...)
Best regards Kynde (talk) 19:39, 8 April 2014 (UTC)
[[Category:Dynamic comics]] [[Category:April fool's comics]] [[Category:Comics with color]] [[Category:Interactive comics]] [[Category:Comics featuring Hairy]] [[Category:Comics featuring White Hat]] [[Category:Comics featuring Cueball]] [[Category:Boomerangs]] [[Category:Computers]] [[Category:Dinosaurs]] [[Category:Pokémon]] [[Category:Dreams]] [[Category:Pokémon]] [[Category:Politics]] [[Category:Star Wars]] [[Category:Sharks]]
- Hi Kynde, thanks for your question before starting an edit-war. If your read my comments at my edits you can see that I don't like this massive category block, just because many more categories had to be added when a new picture is found. Finally we would come up with a category ALL.
- Most images resemble an excerpt of a former comic, this has to be explained. Even you do not avoid chaos because "Pokémon" is twice at your example. I'm looking for simple but straight forward explains.
- --Dgbrt (talk) 21:12, 8 April 2014 (UTC)
- Hi Dgbrt.I have trouble understanding this sentence that you have used before: Most images resemble an excerpt of a former comic Can you elaborate or find a different way to say the same so I can follow.
- My example is a cut and paste from my former suggestions and the current - that you accept. So this explains duplicate entries. It would not be registered twice if I now how it works.
- Still you have not answered my questions to why colour is ok? I belive that if everything is included by Randall so should it here. But that is where we disagree.
- Is there a discussion/rule about when to include a category? And if we disagree who should then decide - are you a moderator of this wiki?
- Not to include Hairy is weird! Just saying... Kynde (talk) 10:22, 9 April 2014 (UTC)
- Hi Kynde, at my first sentence I tried to explain that most images here at this comic are copies from former comics.
- Including every category belonging to this comic images would result in a bottom line filling up half of the screen - finally nearly every category had to be included. --Dgbrt (talk) 20:21, 9 April 2014 (UTC)
- Can you identify all this stories pics as refering to a previous commic - more than you could for any other commic? Then it should be in the explain as you say. But appart from the shark's and the ref to the previous commics title text on blowtorch I can't spot this. So please help with this. As there are almost a thousand comics I am still looking forward to read I can believe you - but would like to see the links.
- It seems like there has not been added new themes for a while. In that case there would only be the 8 I have listed appart from the only three characters. (Corrected my list above to only include one Pokémon).
- As the girl has a knit cap on, she seems very distinct - and is not Megan. Has she been seen before - else all pics with her is new. In that case I don't quite see your point. Kynde (talk) 22:00, 10 April 2014 (UTC)
Please do not edit former posts at the discussion page. Later adds would not make any sense to other readers. So, please keep the original and add a new one to the bottom here. --Dgbrt (talk) 22:22, 10 April 2014 (UTC)
Back to your question, I know probably all comics and the pictures are in my mind. But I don't know all the comic numbers or names. Read all the thousand missing comics and try to remember them all; that's my struggle. Maybe Google image search could help. But it's still a bunch of work to find them all. And of course, not every picture belongs to former comics. --Dgbrt (talk) 22:22, 10 April 2014 (UTC)
- I see - that makes sence. I have now put all images foun into categories (I'm indeed an aprils fool and I know it... :-) Hope this makes sence and can help make an almost complete explanation. Seems liek there are not that many new pictures comming along? The themes that equals categoriews should still in my oppinion be added as categories, but I know that you disagree.
- You have still not explained to me why your oppinion on this matter weighs more than others. Maybe there is a good reason (if you are a moderator of these pages?) or if others have the same oppinion - but where can I see that - so far only you comment on this issue.
- I will be away on a holliday with limited computer power, so if I do not answer you for a week it is not because I'm annoyed with your answers ;-) And as you will see I have not added any categories. Best regards Kynde (talk) 02:58, 12 April 2014 (UTC)
- So I wish you happy holidays. But beside of that, I'm not an admin or moderator — I'm just an active editor here looking for standards and clear explanations. A reference to a big part of all comics doesn't make any sense and doesn't explain anything at all. BTW: Try to use a dictionary at your browser, your typos above are ugly. --Dgbrt (talk) 20:19, 12 April 2014 (UTC)
- It was written late one night on a tablet... Sorry :-) On another note - would you also recomend deleting all the categories of this earlier April fool's commic? 1037:_Umwelt - I would not but it may be longer than what I suggested for Lorenz! There do not seem to be any new images appearing anymore - not since before we wrote the above. Kynde (talk) 19:52, 14 May 2014 (UTC)
- The comic 1037: Umwelt is different because there is a finite number of categories. Lorenz instead would probably end up with every category here, I don't think that this does make any sense. But a hidden category link could be a solution, the Lorenz page would not explode but there would be a link at Category:Comics featuring Cueball to this Aprils Fool comic. Maybe that's a solution? --Dgbrt (talk) 20:22, 14 May 2014 (UTC)
- Well I do not think that the list of categories could be extended since I wrote to you first more than a month ago. There has not been found any new images so I do think Randall adds more. So it seems finite. All my suggested categories are based on what is in the images - not on what people has written when suggesting a line. Same for the Umwelt. And whi nows how many more versions of umwelt there are which are not acounted for. I do belive your fear for a long list is baseless. And the other BIG commics like 1110:_Click_and_Drag has 14 - I only suggest 11. So to be consistentwe should either delete those or add my suggestions. I think I will do that soon- it makes sence...Kynde (talk) 12:21, 16 May 2014 (UTC)

1330 Strange Layouts
Hi. Wanted to take a crack at completing this strip, but I'm not clear on what needs to be fixed (besides the apparent Megan/Danish issue). What were you referring to when you wrote the incomplete tag? Jimmy C (talk) 15:12, 22 April 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks for your hint. The tag was referring a fix, so I did remove it with some small changes. --Dgbrt (talk) 18:18, 22 April 2014 (UTC)
1359 transcript
You introduced ambiguity into it by undenting it. Now the ["???"] can appear to come from [alarm goes off] rather than [beep beep beep beep]. Good job. 126.96.36.199 (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)
- Thanks for your hint, but the transcript looks better with only one indent unless there are similar indents at the image. The ways on the flowchart should be shown by text. So feel free to enhance that text. --Dgbrt (talk) 18:25, 25 April 2014 (UTC)
980: Money
Why do you think that the transcript for Money should not include the entire text? This makes no sense at all? I did not include any details or explain, just an explain of where the text was located. This is done in numerous transcripts. I was actually ready to try to make a complete transcript over time - but you just killed the insensitive to that! Let me know exactly why I should not move it back - people may actually be interested in this transcript. Kynde (talk) 15:44, 11 June 2014 (UTC)
- The transcript gives an overview about the main content, but the details would be shown twice so I think the summary by Randall is enough. I did not delete anything, it's now just at the explain section. And it's much more important to enhance that section. --Dgbrt (talk) 18:58, 11 June 2014 (UTC)
- OK - I may agree partially with you - although I always considered the transcript to be of all the text, so you could understand it, even if you had trouble reading it yourself. Kynde (talk) 11:14, 13 June 2014 (UTC)
- I was also considering doing a money transcript page like we have for Lorenz. Maybe the explain section could refer to that, so it would not be so incredibly long. If the headings I have made, were made in to subsections like Game consoles under dollars and Raising a child to age 17 under thousands etc. was on such a full transcript page, then each heading could be referenced from a table on the main page, with an explanation of this and that. And then if you wished to see the numbers and text, you clicked on the title of this part of the table. (Like for instance click and drag has for different parts of the comic.)Kynde (talk) 11:14, 13 June 2014 (UTC)
- By the way. Where is this original transcript that I have seen people mention several times?Kynde (talk) 19:00, 13 June 2014 (UTC)
- I have now made the transcript page for Money, and have finished the thousand section. The next two are much and much much larger. At least the trillions section is easy to do. I will do that next time I get some time Kynde (talk) 22:22, 13 June 2014 (UTC)
You win
It looks like we have been fighting each other. I mean no offence, but most of the time the explanations you replace of mine are by no means better, I am sorry for the issues with spelling I have introduced, but come on, I restructured the entire articles. I know you hate spelling errors, but i hate incorrect over wordy and vague explanations. As my additions do not seem welcome by you (even though they are a vast improvement) I will bow out gracefully and let you do all the work. I am sure you see this as no loss, and less work for you cleaning up after me, but honestly look at how you changed "1364: Like I'm Five" and say it is better? You win, you get more work. In truth I was able to resolve all the issues on the incomplete tags for over 5 pages in 2 days. English is my first BTW, so I can tell if something is easy enough to understand. 22.214.171.124 22:38, 9 August 2014 (UTC)

Did you receive code from Davidy22 regarding DgbrtBOT? He said he was going to send you a fix so that it would begin to categorize the images it uploads with each new comic image.
Also, is there any chance of using the bot to categorize some other images? For example, virtually all of the ones used by 1190: Time need one. Oneforfortytwo (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)

Comics featuring real people
Hi Dgbrt. I saw that you deleted the Category: Comics featuring real people from 1536: The Martian. I may tend to agree with this decision. But the "real" people in that comic was the mentioning of Matt Damon, which was why I did not delete it myself. I just made a comment about this here on the Talk: Comics featuring real people page because I think people use this category in two ways. I'm not sure which way would be more correct. Shall the real-person be part of the comic or is it enough just for hem to be mentioned in the comic. In other featured people categories it is enough for them to be mentioned. See for instance Category:Comics featuring James. Maybe that category is also wrongly used/named though? It could have been called something other than featured. (Mentioning James). I'm open for both interpretations of these categories... --Kynde (talk) 09:54, 12 June 2015 (UTC)

Mitchell Anderson | April 10, 2008
By Mitchell Anderson • Thursday, April 10, 2008 - 14:15
Bjorn Lomborg is breaking bread with another right wing think tank this week. The Manhattan Institute for Policy Research will be hosting the "skeptical environmentalist" for a speech today in the Big Apple.
Lomborg continues to tour the world delivering his message of "don't worry – be happy" around environmental issues - particularly global warming. In May he will be hosting the Copenhagen Consensus 2008 conference where we can expect to see another contrived conclusion that climate change is too expensive to deal with.
Lomborg's biggest cachet with the media is that he portrays himself as an environmentalist and a one-time supporter of Greenpeace , though the organization has no record of his membership.
Looking closer however, the company Bjorn Lomborg keeps is a long way from the green end of the spectrum.
The Manhattan Institute describes their mission to: "develop and disseminate new ideas that foster greater economic choice and individual responsibility". They have hosted such anti-Kyoto luminaries as Senior Research Fellow Max Schulz , and Sallie Baliunas - listed as a spokesperson for the Institute in 2004.
Sallie Baliunas is described by ExxonSecrets.org as: "a darling of the anti-climate movement, Baliunas has been a central scientist in the fight against action on climate change. She is used by virtually all of the Exxon-funded front groups as their scientific expert."
As for the Manhattan Institute itself, they received over $200,000 in funding from ExxonMobil since 1998, including $30,000 in 2006.
This is certainly not the first time Bjorn Lomborg has rubbed elbows with the anti climate crowd. Here is photo of speaking at the Adam Smith Institute .
He also accepted an award in 2001 from the Competitive Enterprise Institute . This notorious climate denier group received over $2 million in support from Exxon Mobil since 1998 - some of it specifically earmarked for "global climate change outreach".
Lomborg's latest book tour was also sponsored by non-other than the Fraser Institute, something that he admitted during a media interview in 2007 . In 2003-04, Exxon shelled out $120,000 to the Fraser Institute - in part to pay for their anti Kyoto work.
Lomborg often boasts that his message of moderation makes him equally reviled by both ends of the spectrum on climate change. That might be compelling if true. However, he seems awfully well loved by the Exxon crowd. And I haven't seen Greenpeace offering him any awards…

Holy Crap! $200,000 in 10 years!
That works out to something like $9.61/hour.

From cbc.ca (http://tinyurl.com/339enx) –
"Former U.S. presidential candidate Al Gore will be giving his much-publicized presentation, An Inconvenient Truth, to a Saskatchewan audience later this month.
Gore, a former vice-president under Bill Clinton, was invited to speak at Regina's Brandt Centre April 23 by Premier Lorne Calvert.
SaskTel, the provincially owned phone company, is fronting the $208,000 cost of the event, which includes Gore's $125,000 speaking fee."
Gee, at least Exxon is spending their own money.

Go Bjorn
Got to admire this man.
His honesty is a welcome change from the usual MSM propoganda we hear daily about AGW.
With GW having stoped a decade ago it is getting really tiresome to keep hearing the silly chants of unpresidented this or that.
We need more people like Bjorn to speak out on the what is actually happening.
Which is almost exactly NOTHING.
The good news however is that even the IPCC is begining to change their story and realize just how far off reality they were.
The end is Nye….. finally.
Tell us troll
What did Bjorn have to say at his presentation?
I found an interesting quote: "It's unproductive to have a conversation around the question 'Does CO2 cause increased warming?' It's a fairly simple physical point-yes it does."
Did he say that?
It seems he had some other very interesting things to say about Global Warming which are at odds with your opinions. Just hearsay of course….
Troll replied on Permalink
CO2 Causes warming
No Question.
How much? That is a big question.
How much is caused by human emissions? Even bigger question.
With so much GOOD science being done in the last couple years that refutes the OLD data that the IPCC used, it is little wonder that the conclusions are all being questioned right to the top of the AGW church.
GW is mostly natural and mostly benificial.
Troll replied on Permalink
CO2 and Warming
Yet another report says the "effect of Black Carbon in the atmosphere is unaccounted for in model-based estimates used in most studies, meaning that black carbon's actual warming contribution has been underestimated."
OK. The models don't properly account for:
Black Carbon
Water vapor
Cosmic rays
Ocean currents
ADOs, PDOs, ENSOs, Denzos…..
La nina
El nino
Etc, etc, etc.
Tell me again how the IPCC CO2 models are accurate.
Has anyone ever attempted to add up all the Unaccounted bits to see just what is left of the CO2 AGW hypothesis?
AGW hypothesis
Of course you realize Bjorn agrees with AGW?
Troll replied on Permalink
Is that relevent?
The hypothysis is mostly correct. It is merely the massively incorrect assumptions on the input side and grosely over stated conclusions on the output side that are at issue. The science in the middle is largely fine.
You are contradicting yourself
First you said GW stopped a decade ago.
Then you said CO2 causes warming and then you said GW is mostly natural and mostly beneficial.
Bjorn Lomborg, whom you admire and consider to be a honest man, agrees with AGW and so do you, to at least a degree, when you state that the hypothesis is mostly correct. Yet on another thread you consider AGW to be a myth….

Because CO2 is independent of all of the other factors you listed. The positive ones will cause yet more warming, the negative ones will offset some of the warming. Most of them are positive.

No, by virtue of the radiative physics of greenhouse gases.
None of the other factors that you listed will change that physics, and greenhouse gas physics will not change the physics of those other factors.

Phillip Huggan replied on Permalink
But there are *more*
But there are *more* positive feedbacks and negative effects unaccounted for by the models. The uncertainties, most of them candidly stated by IPCC, skew towards AGW being worse than IPCC estimates. Today it was just discovered the pacific coast shell-fish are being exposed to acid about 5 decades earlier than predicted. This is the base of much of the human food chain, even for the idiots and evil people that represent Exxon and others. The paper doesn't speculate, but I think this means much of our food supply will be toasted soon.
The models to predict El Nino and La Nina. Clouds are a known uncretainty forwarded by the IPCC as an uncertainty. Cosmic Rays are known to be minor effects. This is like debating with Nazis. The global warming deniers are Nazis inb the making; Canada and the USA in 2008 are Germany in the late 1920s. They are responsible for the deaths of tens of millions in the future and will be responsible for billions of deaths if not the extermination of our species. It might make sense for liberals and progressives globally, to consider joining forces with Al-Qaeda, if the oil/coal industry is not put in its place within the next decade or so. Doing so and initiating massive terrorist attack would be a societal good, given continued AGW denial (actions not words) by Bush, Harper and others.
Longberg's arguments are ingenious in that they are rational. But he doesn't get that AGW affects freshwater supplies. And his human development utilities can be achieved at the expense of infinitely many other other utilities much more regressive than funding clean energy and conservation. He is still a troll, but at least a reasonable one.

text: Thursday, October 31, 2013 'Culture of Resistance' Complicates Concussion Reporting in Youth Sports As youth sports programs have grown, so has a "culture of resistance" around concussion reporting and treatment compliance, according to a major study released October 30 by the National Institute of Medicine and National Research Council. The report addresses this culture, as well as a wide range of topics including rates of concussion by sport, effectiveness of protective gear, and the lack of research around concussions in youth. The 340-page report, titled Sports-Related Concussions in Youth: Improving the Science, Changing the Culture is available for free download (1-time registration required) or online viewing, and contains several key findings. Among them: Male high school and college athletes report the highest rates of concussions in football, ice hockey, lacrosse, wrestling, and soccer; for females, the highest rates occur in soccer, lacrosse, and basketball. Researchers found "little evidence" that the latest helmet designs reduce the risk of concussions, even though they do reduce the risk of other injuries. Recent sports program efforts to put limits on the number of head contact incidents for a given player are "fundamentally sound" but "without a scientific basis." The report acknowledges that while there has been an increase in awareness of the signs and risks of concussion in youth sports culture, "there are indications that the culture shift is not complete. Athletes profess that the game and the team are more important than their individual health and that they may play through a concussion in order to avoid letting down their teammates, coaches, schools, and parents." Physical therapists (PTs) and physical therapist assistants (PTAs) play an important role in the recognition and management of concussions, and the findings in the federal study echo the work APTA has done over several years to promote greater awareness of the dangers of concussions in youth sports and the need for policy changes and guidelines on the state and federal level. Along with legislative efforts, APTA has worked with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on the issue of concussions and two APTA members have been appointed to the CDC Pediatric Traumatic Brain Injury Guideline Workgroup. APTA online concussion resources include a series of podcasts, and a PT's guide to concussions.

If somebody could send Whitlock a link to his latest column and also dispatch a helicopter, that'd be great.
I'm on 15 South at Baker and power is out and can't buy gas. This is not a joke. Don't have enough gas to get to Barstow. Need help.
We know Whitlock spent his Labor Day weekend in Vegas, and he's apparently on his way back to L.A. He hasn't quite made it. He's currently in the tiny roadside town of Baker, Calif, pop. 735. The power is out, the pumps aren't working, and he doesn't have enough gas to make the next town. He may die out there, among the snakes and scorpions and former boomtowns of the American West, with nary a mobile-friendly link in sight. "The way of the world is to bloom and to flower and die but in the affairs of men there is no waning and the noon of his expression signals the onset of night."
Whitlock's been known to Tweetlie before, so grain of salt on this, but if true it's absolutely our favorite thing of ever.
Update, 5:55 p.m.: Whitlock has been rescued. Everyone return to your homes.
