In Christianity's passage through Holy Week to Easter Day, a moment of truth will arrive.
Every detail is well known, thoroughly studied, and dramatized by Hollywood and homespun pageants — and the familiar story will reach across the divide and touch, or try to touch, every person who is listening and watching.
Many will get it, especially if they live in circumstances where people get falsely accused by the self-righteous; where the weak and vulnerable get mistreated by the powerful; where physical suffering is a daily occurrence; where death seems like the only next option.
That audience could well comprise the bulk of humanity — those who endure poverty, starvation, and violence of epic proportions, those who live in more prosperous lands and yet are the oppressed, the ignored, the expendable.
For that audience, the Gospel message is profoundly good news. God isn't their enemy. Their suffering isn't the will of some demonic God whose "plan" requires their agony and deprivation. Their suffering stems from humanity itself, from greed, power-madness, sickness and, sadly, from religious expressions developed by the few to sustain their sovereignty.
The Easter message means that God will win the victory over such evil. There will be no peace in the rich person's home despite the accumulation of wealth. There will be no eternal comfort for those who prey on the weak and build their castles on human suffering. There will be no angelic choir singing the sweet music of the haves, while the have-nots stand by, even in heaven, wishing they had such good fortune.
In God's victory, now or later, Easter bonnets will mean nothing. Massive pipe organs and professional choirs won't control the singing. The swank and swell will receive no special consideration. Indeed, the rank and raw might be seated up front.
In God's victory, trust funds won't buy anything worth owning. Those counting on lucrative stock options will own dust, and that dust will have meaning only if God makes something of it. Fame will shine no special light. Youth and age, good health and ill health, beauty and plainness, good luck and bad luck, First World and Third World will all have the same beckoning: fall on your knees, chastened and thrilled, before the God who loves you and rise as a new creation.
Many, however, will hate that victory. They will want to dress well, go to church for an annual Easter tingle, and then go back, serene and confident about their lives.
Many who calibrated their preaching and music to please the haves will go home feeling slightly empty, knowing at some level that they failed their people once again. They didn't risk preaching the actual Easter Gospel. They didn't reach across the chasms of modern life and speak as vigorously to the back pews as to the front pews, and not at all to those who remained at a distance, frightened and alone.
But there will be places where God's people see the Son in agony and know a kindred spirit, and see the empty tomb as God's victory over hubris, greed, power-madness, cruelty, smugness and self-serving.
In those places, "Alleluia!" won't be a song to self, but a sigh and a shout of gratitude.

You do not know the end of your story.
That won't make sense until you've read Naomi's piece.
In 1897, Churchill watched one of his fellow army dudes get slashed to death by a Sikh bad guy during the Greco-Turkish war.
You think he was like, "It's cool, 'cause one day I'll beat the Nazis"?
No, he was not.
"If I don't get in the top tenth percentile on the GRE, I won't get into Dr. Fancypants lab, and he can't set me up for a postdoc in Big State University, so I can't get the tenure-track position in the Major Research University, and I'll never get the Nobel prize!"
Academics tend to gloss over career struggles. Let's face it, nobody likes to boast about how they got Cs on their undergraduate transcript (I did), were wobbly on their comprehensive exams in the Ph.D. (I was), how they struggled to get tenure (I did), or cannot seem to crack the shell on external grants (I am). Jacquelyn Gill has suggested a way to try to make these more visible, by creating a shadow CV.
If we acknowledge problems of successful scientists, they're usually cast as mere speed bumps that are overcome with genius, courage, and determination (but usually genius).
You do not know when you will have an opportunity to contribute and do something valuable. That you failed does not mean that you are a failure.

Life is tough. But Nuns are tougher. If you need helpful advice just Ask Sister Mary Martha.
Sunday, March 08, 2009
So here we on on our road trip to Salvation, better known as Lent. It's the second Sunday of Lent. How times flies when you're not having fun. We have a question about Sunday's in general and as they apply to Lent:
Sister, I have a question for you. My husband and I have been debating how to best keep holy the Lord's Day. Tomorrow is Sunday, for example, and I would like to go putter in the yard and work on my flower beds and vegetable garden. I enjoy yard work, it's something I struggle to find time to work on during the week, and I don't think it's a lovely way to spend a Sunday. My husband, who does not like yardwork at all, thinks it would be a sin to do yard work on Sunday. I have told him if it is truly "work" to him, then maybe it is sinful for him to do yardwork. But maybe I'm rationalizing what I want to do tomorrow. :) If working in the garden is a bad way to spend Sunday, I will find something else to do, but honestly, I feel like it's a better way to spend the day than the way my husband will spend it, in front of the tv or computer. We do, of course, go to mass and religion classes on Sunday mornings as well. What is your opinion Sister?
If yard work isn't work for you, as it is not for me (most of the time), then I can't think of a better way to spend a Sunday with your hands covered in God's creation. I learn God's simple lessons every time I'm out there.
Just when you think something is hopeless, it isn't. New leaves on old wood.
If you don't keep up with the small things they can become big things overnight.
When the plant doesn't have to spend time getting rid of it's dead stuff because you've done that for the plant, the plant looks better and is healthier. God may help those who help themselves, but he certainly smiles on those who help others.
A little effort goes a long way.
Sometimes all we need is a little food, water and sun to stay alive.
Sometimes all we need is a little shade to keep from keeling right over.
Stuff like that.
But...it's Lent. Contary to popular opinion, and wishful thinking, we don't take Sundays off during Lent, except for the pink candle Sunday. That Sunday is to remind us that the tulips are about to bloom, so to speak.
So for you, personally, I think you should poke around at your garden while you are dead tired during the week and would rather do anything than pull weeds or haul amender. On Sunday, you should look at your garden and think about all Jesus gave up for us.
Meanwhile, let's not go judging how our husbands spend the day. Maybe he's only reading about the Lord. (Maybe he's catching up on my blog! I've been at it for almost three years!) Even if he's playing on line poker, that's not a sin unless you're a Baptist.

I married a Baptist. According to all he's been taught, he's a big bad sinner. I keep telling him to come to the Catholic side, we have wine at church, and beer at the functions. It just boggles him that there is alcohol at a church function that isn't a Mass. But honey, your Bible says Jesus made water into wine too. And it was a wedding to boot.

Pink candle... lenten wreath? This is all new to me. Thanks for the lesson.
My daughter, who attends Notre Dame Prep in (Dulany Valley) Towson, Maryland and I who attended the Institute of Notre Dame in Baltimore City have a disagreement about giving up things for lent. She says you can have what you gave up for Lent on Sunday, because tLent is 40 days without counting the sundays. I say no way. Who is right? The Vally girl or the Alley girl.
Alley Girl and Proud of it!
Well, I'm taking Sundays during Lent off, at least for my coffee penance. (I drink tea during the week. I'm not going to give up caffeine completely--I'm not crazy.) Anyway, after a week of tea, I had a cup of coffee this morning. Wow! It was like free-basing cocaine! Even with the clocks being set ahead because of daylight savings, I've been bouncing around the house today. Nothing like giving something up to make you appreciate it more!
Never heard of the Lent wreath.
- J. J. said...
I thought Sister was referring to the rose-colored vestments (and altar linens, etc.) that are used on the 4th Sunday of Lent... but then I followed the link. I've never heard of a Lenten wreath, either! Is it relatively new?
Candles are relaxing, and having something to 'mark off' is encouraging, so perhaps it's a good thing for people to use if daunted by six whole weeks. I think I personally would get confused which season I was marking, though. :)
If you're gonna give it up for Lent... give it up! No Sunday cheating I say.
I don't know about a pink candle but the vestments for the fourth Sunday of Lent (Latarae Sunday?) are pink. I too thought that Sundays don't count as part of Lent because it's 40 days not counting Sundays.
- Arkanabar Ilarsadin said...
Laetare Sunday is the second of the two days in the Liturgical Calendar on which rose or pink vestments are used. The first, of course, is Gaudette Sunday, the 3d Sunday in Advent.

I have several friends that are catholic. I am not.
They are crazy and not to religious but do go to mass once a week.
They never go to confession as they say they are to old to sin. I have met their priest and I would not go to confession, if I was catholic.
One friend gave up buying fabric for lent. One gave up nothing, because she said she had nothing to give up.

I had requested access to a Git repository and it was granted after I gave my public and private keys.
( generated using the common method
ssh-keygen -t rsa which gave me :
<user> @ <hostname> : ~/.ssh $ > ll
total 20K
-rw-------. 1 <user> 1.7K Mar 02 10:14 id_rsa
-rw-r--r--. 1 <user> 407 Mar 02 10:14 id_rsa.pub
-rw-r--r--. 1 <user> 1.3K Mar 01 14:25 known_hosts
However, I accidentally deleted my home directory. Fortunately, I had the backup of all my important files and so, it was not much of a hassle to recover those.
But, trying to clone the Git repository again using the old public and private key, I could not. The Git asked me for a password just like it would treat any non-authorised users.
So, I then had to request the access again using my current public and private keys.
Upon comparison, I found out that the new keys are in fact different from the first ones.
So, my question is,
- Why does the public and private key change for a user in the same machine?
- In continuation of that question, why can't I use my old public and private key to access a repository when nothing else has changed?
- Will the keys change if I create them again using
ssh-keygen -t rsa?
I can provide more info if needed.

Button, button, who's got the button? We're guessing YOU do, and we want to see them on your next project!!
Kelly Noel | As soon as I saw the button challenge, I knew for sure this was the one I wanted to participate in. I have a TON of buttons. More than I could ever use in a lifetime for sure. I love how using a small item, like a button, in excess can make a big statement on my projects. For this layout, just grouping together several colors of buttons with the new Atlantic Cork Stickers and some enamel dots really adds something interesting to my layout.
Celeste Vermeend | Button on layouts is almost essential for my style! You will find buttons scattered on almost all my layouts. Any type of button looks effective on a scrapbooking page. My preference is too essentially create a scattered look with my button placement.
But each button is decisively placed on my page before I stick them down permanently. In this way, I can achieve the messy but balanced look I am after. Buttons of various colours and size work well - especially when paired with circles.
I find a button placed inside circles pleasing to my eye. The addition of buttons to my work is often one of the last steps. I find placing them in the white space helps balance and complete my page. I also like to have them in a row at times. You will often find buttons along an edge of my photo. The line of them will help the eye travel to the image.
Dana Fleckenstein | Let's face it, my buttons stash will last me forever and a day. While they still look cute, sequins and enamel dots have pushed them down on my list of favorite embellishments. I usually used single buttons on my projects, e.g. as flower centers on my cards but wanted to try something different for this challenge. So what I did here was to treat them as a regular layer on my card, just like I would use a strip of paper or washi tape.
Lisa Truesdell | Once upon a time, I couldn't finish ANY project without buttons. Time went on, and decorative brads, enamel dots and sequins came into my life, and my poor button stash has spent a lot of time on a shelf in a jar (where it looks super cute, so at least it has that going for it!). As I worked on this PL spread, I realized that buttons fit right in with my beloved enamel dots, and I really like the two of them mixed together! They're also not too bulky in the pocket pages. Maybe I'd better move that button jar a little closer to my desk...
To be entered to win a prize from the fabulous Studio Calico prize stash, leave a comment here with a link to your new layout, card or PL spread/cards in the Studio Calico gallery by May 13th. We can't wait to see what you make!

You may purchase a $30 Appliance/TV sticker at the DPW. Our hauler will provide a curbside pickup once a month (the first Thursday of each month); these stickers are available only at the DPW.
Depending upon whether it's latex or oil-based paints, there are different disposal methods: To properly dispose of latex paint, simply leave the lid off the can and let the paint dry up. Or, you can also add kitty litter or Speedy Dry to accelerate the process. Then, you may dispose of it in your regular trash. To properly dispose of oil-based paints, you must wait until the DPW holds it's Household Hazardous Waste Day, which is usually held the last Saturday in September.
Depending upon which type of battery you have, there are different methods of properly disposing - DISPOSING OF GENERAL PURPOSE & ALKALINE BATTERIES: Alkaline batteries can be safely disposed of with normal household waste. Due to concerns about mercury in the municipal solid waste stream, manufacturers have voluntarily eliminated all of the added mercury from alkaline batteries since 1993. Alkaline batteries are composed primarily of common metals — steel, zinc, and manganese — and do not pose a health or environmental risk during normal use or disposal. It is important not to dispose of large amounts of alkaline batteries in a group. Used batteries are often not completely 'dead'. Grouping used batteries together can sometimes bring these 'live' batteries into contact with one another, creating safety risks. Proven cost-effective and environmentally safe recycling processes are not yet universally available for alkaline batteries. RECYCLING BATTERIES WITH OTHER CHEMISTRIES: Due to the chemicals in some batteries, you should recycle rechargeable, lithium, lithium ion, and zinc air batteries. In addition to "traditional" rechargeable batteries like AA or AAA, rechargeable batteries like the ones found in everyday household items such as cameras, cell phones, laptops, and power tools should also be recycled. Look for the battery recycling seals on rechargeable batteries. These types of batteries can be brought to the DPW and Home Depot for disposal.
To dispose of an item that does not fit in the City issued trash bag, you will need to purchase a $10 Bulk Item Sticker. These may be purchased at The Building Center and the DPW. Examples of some of the types of items used with Bulk Item Stickers include furniture, plastic cased vacuum cleaners, rugs, entertainment centers, toilets.
Household Hazardous Waste Day is typically held once annually and is typically held on the last Saturday in September.
Please call JRM Hauling & Recycling directly at (800) 323-4285 or the DPW at (978) 325-5600.
Yes. The trash barrel must be 50 gallons or less and be clearly marked with recycling stickers (stickers are available at no charge from the DPW).
You may purchase a replacement bin at the DPW for $5.00.
At the present time, rigid plastics such as lawn furniture and outdoor toys, such as Little Tykes slides and play sets are not accepted at the facility that our recyclables are taken to. To dispose of these types of items, a $10 Bulk Item Sticker is required. You may stack 4 of the stackable lawn chairs out with one sticker.
To dispose of furniture with your curbside rubbish, you can purchase a $10 Bulk Item Sticker; affix the sticker to the item and put it out on your regular trash day. You may also donate your clean furniture to Second Glance on Pond Road. Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., They also offer a pickup service by appointment. All proceeds from the sale of donations go to the Open Door Food Pantry which services all of Cape Ann. Call (978) 283-4298 for more information.
Massachusetts has seven recycling processing facilities that sort and bale over 500,000 ton of recyclables annually. After processing, your recyclables are ready to enter the "recycling marketplace".
* Paper and cardboard are turned into cereal and cracker boxes, book covers, and game boards at a recycling paper mill in Fitchburg, MA. * Glass bottles and jars are melted and used to make new containers at facilities such as Saint-Gobain Containers, Inc. in Milford, MA. * Plastic soda bottles become polyester fiberfill for jackets and sleeping bags, or polar fleece made by Malden Mills in Lawrence, MA. * Milk jugs, detergent bottles, and other #2 plastics become landscaping timbers and whiskey barrel planters made my Smartware products in Leominster, MA.
Unfortunately, your recycling can not go out for curbside collection. But you may bring your recycling to Essex County Recycle Center located at 24 Kondelin Road. They will accept your newspaper, cardboard, bottles, cans, and metal items at no charge. They also will accept rigid plastics (little tykes toys, 5 gallon water jugs, plastic lawn furniture etc.) for no charge.
No you do not - we are now a single stream! No need to sort!
Fluorescent light bulbs contain mercury and cannot be disposed of with regular household trash. To dispose you can bring them to the DPW on the last Saturday of each month from 9:00 am -12:00 pm or you can bring them to the Building Center during normal business hours.
EFFECTIVE NOVEMBER 1, 2022: Clean mattresses and box springs must be recycled or donated for reuse (Per Mass. Dept. of Environmental Protection). Residents can purchase a $40 sticker for each piece (mattress needs one sticker and box spring needs another) at the Department of Public Works. We will provide a mattress bag at the time of purchase for the mattresses only. Bagged mattresses and box springs should be left outside homes on Thursday morning for curbside collection.

For many years, epoxy flooring was something you might only find in a factory or industrial space. Today the story is quite different. Epoxy flooring has been conbined with a range of new products and techniques to create stunning looks in both residential and retail spaces. Interior designers and architects are using products like ArtEpox to create a wide variety of looks.
Design Versatility
From classic floors that reflect the beauty of natural stone, to the modern and vivid colourings of ArtEpox floors, there is much versatility when it comes to Epoxy flooring. There are many different types of colours, textures, and patterns available.
Using epoxy flooring, a designer or architect can create a space that can look quite expensive, but still keep within a clients budget. Stone and marble look floor coverings can be created, looks that have been impossible to achieve without problems like installation, grout and break lines, and huge expense before.
Many floor coverings look great, but are impractical in real life. For instance, stone tilling looks amazing, but is often too heavy in older homes. Using an overlay and protective epoxy resin, the same look can be achieved.
While some floor types are not very pleasant to live with, for instance cold underfoot, and quite difficult to clean, designer epoxy flooring makes for a pleasant home of work environment.
Places Youll Find Epoxy Flooring
No longer constrained to industrial zones only, youll find epoxy flooring all over the place. From private designer homes, to shopping centers, retail boutiques, to trendy cafes. Epoxy flooring has taken the architectural design world by storm.
Livable Spaces
One of the greatest benefits of an epoxy floor is that they are easy to live with. Those with pets, or suffering from allergies, will find it easy to keep a space clean and dust free. the floors reflective surface makes spaces seem light and airy.
An epoxy floor is a tough and durable surface, built for many years of traffic and hard wear. Its a very hygienic floor covering, and suitable for restaurants and cafes. This is also good to keep in mind if you have pets, or a young family. Modern epoxy resins are available in a range of environmentally friendly products.

MTV's 16 and Pregnant and its spinoff Teen Mom may be directly responsible for reducing the birthrate of teens by nearly 6 percent since its premiere in 2009, according to a new study. Will these findings finally put a rest to the "but it glamorizes teen pregnancy" handwringing?
For the study—which appeared Monday in the National Bureau of Economic Research—researchers looked at birth records and Nielsen ratings and found that teen pregnancy declined faster in areas where the teens were watching MTV's programming than in areas where they weren't. "[I]n part by educating teenagers about the difficulty of having a child, in part by stressing the consequences of unprotected sex and in part by fostering a conversation about contraceptives and pregnancy" the show seems to have had a direct effect on the teen birthrate.
The study also explores how "16 and Pregnant" might have influenced teenagers' behavior. For example, the two economists showed that social-media postings about contraception and Internet searches on the topic spiked sharply whenever the show was being broadcast.
"The assumption we're making is that there's no reason to think that places where more people are watching more MTV in June 2009, would start seeing an excess rate of decline in the teen birthrate, but for the change in what they were watching," according to one of the authors of the study.

CBOE 4Q Earnings Rise 25%
CBOE Group Holdings Inc, which runs the oldest U.S. stock-options trading venue, said on Friday that fourth-quarter earnings rose a more-than-expected 25 percent on an increase in per-contract fees.
The Chicago-based company also said it was in talks with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to settle a previously disclosed probe into its self-regulatory compliance and had reserved $5 million for a possible resolution.
The probe, about which CBOE has disclosed very few details, has been a black mark on the legacy of longtime Chief Executive Officer William Brodsky, who plans to hand the reins to President and Chief Operating Officer Ed Tilly in May.
Brodsky, who will continue as executive chairman, successfully turned CBOE from a private member-run club to a public company and has since overseen growth that has kept it ahead of the competition in a crowded field. There are about a dozen U.S. stock-option markets.
Several high-level compliance officials left CBOE after it disclosed the probe a little more than a year ago, but the company never said the departures were related to the investigation. It also said it was conducting its own review of its compliance.
Net income at CBOE rose to $39.2 million, or 45 cents a share, from $31.3 million, or 35 cents a share, a year earlier, the company said on Friday. Analysts on average had expected 42 cents a share, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
Revenue rose 8 percent to $130.1 million.
Trading in the fourth quarter fell to a daily average of 4.1 million, but activity in CBOE's exclusive index options, like those based on the Standard & Poor's 500 Index, helped boost the average per-contract fee to 35.5 cents from 32.1 cents.
The company said it expects operating expenses of $189 million to $194 million in 2013.

There's three important questions when it comes to picking the right car for use as a baby/kid hauler: Is it engaging to drive? Is it reasonably capable of hauling my kid and related kid crap? And, finally, is it shaped like a colossal sausage? I finally found the car that meets these criteria: the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile.
Those of you cross-shopping cars shaped like giant hot dogs are probably already familiar with the Wienermobile, seeing as how it's the market leader in the segment, being even more popular than Hebrew National's Frankenwagen, largely because I just now made that one up.
There's six Wienermobiles in operation right now, roaming the US, fighting crime with little plastic whistles and righting wrongs, and I was lucky enough to get Wienermobile #13, run by team #Autobuhn, to come by my house for a full toddler-test. Because the scale of the Wienermobile is so much greater than what I usually have, I enlisted the help of a back-up toddler, the delightful Sebastian, whose parents make up the musical duo The Endless. There's your plug.
Before I go into the details of how the Wienermobile deals with an afternoon of normal toddlerhood, let's go over the specs on this impressive beast. It's based on a cabover Chevy W4 truck chassis, with a 6.0L V8 making somewhere between 255 HP - 330 HP, with a custom fiberglass body. Taillights appear to be from a Firebird. It seats 6 in independent captain-style chairs with embroidered Wienermobiles on the backs, has plenty of storage in many in-floor storage lockers, a trunk at the rear, and a good-sized "closet" making up the rear 1/5 of the wiener.
There's also a full-sized LCD TV mounted on one of the interior walls, a full loudspeaker system, and GPS with the special added bonus of Oscar Mayer HQ keeping track of where you are.
So what's it like as a baby/kid car? Let's start with the plusses:
First, the look. Every kid loves the Wienermobile. Even if a kid is raised in the most joyless, vegan, anti-consumerism household, all those noble ideas go out the window when this brightly colored example of happy commercial meat comes pulling up. It's a giant hot dog, and that's a good time no matter what. A kid who gets driven around in the Wienermobile is King Toddler the Damppants, first of his/her name, of anywhere they show up.
If you have a kid who sees the Wienermobile and doesn't crack a smile, send that little future Hitler to some island crazy kid containment center, because there's no good to come out of that one. Trust me.
The interior is as good as the outside, with plenty of bright condiment colors, lots of room to store things and run around in, and huge domed windows to gaze upon the adoring masses. It's impossible not to be happy in or around the Wienermobile.
That said, there's some nontrivial flaws as well. For something that's essentially a little-kid magnet, it's weird that the seats do not have any provision for LATCH system kid-seat mounting. Perhaps it's because it's a custom-bodied limited production car never designed to be a family car, but still.
Luckily, baby seats can be locked in via the seatbelts, and I'm used to doing it this way on my old Beetle, so it's not a huge issue. The more surprising issue was that the jogger won't quite fit in the rear trunk. Again, it's not a huge problem since it fits just fine in the interior closet, but getting it in and out would be easier in the external bun trunk.
Entry and exit isn't too big an issue, though the single side-mounted aircraft-style door does take a bit of getting used to. Opening is a two step procedure involving a latch and a kick, so it's tricky to do with an armload of crazy toddler. There's some head whacking issues on entry and exit, but once inside getting a squirming kid into the car seat couldn't be easier, since you're effectively in a sausage-shaped room. And it's the first Will It Baby car to allow for two simultaneous toddler-strappings with two dads at once. Impressive.
It's a large vehicle, so parking's not great, though the friendly Weinermobile pilots, Spicy Mustard Mandy and Pigs In Blan-Kate (what are the odds of the women driving this having hot dog-related names? Astronomical.) say it'll fit in a normal parking spot, though there is significant bun-and-wiener overhang. Gas mileage is said to be about that of a large SUV, so figure 12 MPG or so for city driving, I'd bet.
There's a few issues pretty unique to the Wienermobile as well: it has a curfew of 10:30 pm, so it's not a great choice as your only car, especially if you have an emergency late-night hospital visit or something, and, technically, only the Oscar Mayer-approved drivers are allowed to drive it. So, unless you want to provide room and board for some friendly, collegiate-aged go-getters, it may not be the car for you. Though for some this could be the part that decides it.
There's also one big issue that may be a plus or a minus: the Wienermobile forces a certain morality on its drivers and passengers. Because wherever you go you'll be spotted and mobbed by delighted people, taking pictures, demanding hot dogs, you'll lose all anonymity.
So, if you were used to putting the baby in the car and then heading over to your favorite meth dealer's trailer or a quick stop at the Erotic Toys Factory Closeout store, you may start having to rethink your life decisions. You can't be a jerk to people in the Wienermobile, and the car puts an obligation of friendliness and goodwill on all who inhabit it, and that may not be for everyone.
So, unless you're willing to set aside your vices that require transportation, the Wienermobile may not be for you.
All those caveats aside, an afternoon with the Wienermobile is pretty hard to beat. Otto and Sebastian had a fantastic time just being in the car, or pointing to it and yelling "IT SO BIG" over and over again. I'm pretty sure this has a good shot of becoming one of his early, confused memories. Perhaps one day in space college at Mars Polytechnic Otto will be telling his roommate about how he seems to remember that his family used to drive a giant hot dog. He's seen pictures. Could that be right?
I should thank team #Autobuhn and encourage everyone to visit their page there so they can get points for some intra-Wienermobile contest I didn't quite follow. Still, they were great. And so is the Wienermobile. Even with the peculiar set of restrictions, it makes a wonderful toddler car, and I encourage everyone with kids to visit an Oscar Mayer Wienermobile dealership post-haste.

40 Years of Title IX: Leadership Matters for Women in Academe
Forty years ago this month, Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 became law, requiring an end to gender discrimination in admissions at educational institutions that receive federal money. Since then, progress in attaining gender equity for women has been heartening, but there is still considerable work to be done, particularly in the areas of faculty and leadership.
In the 1980s—in little more than the blink of an eye—women surpassed men in admissions on most college campuses. And now, unlike their parents and grandparents, these women are increasingly likely to be taught by women. This is good news, and we have Title IX to thank.

Forty years ago this month, Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 became law, requiring an end to gender discrimination in admissions at educational institutions that receive federal money. Since then, progress in attaining gender equity for women has been heartening, but there is still considerable work to be done, particularly in the areas of faculty and leadership.
In the 1980s—in little more than the blink of an eye—women surpassed men in admissions on most college campuses. And now, unlike their parents and grandparents, these women are increasingly likely to be taught by women. This is good news, and we have Title IX to thank.
Women—and their dollars—are the lifeblood of today's colleges. But who decides how those dollars are spent? Men, largely—and that's not all they determine. As far as students are concerned, men are the dominant minority, but male administrators hold a lopsided percentage of university power and the most senior leadership positions. What's more, men make most of the decisions that control women's educational lives and futures, without much input or oversight from women themselves. This includes decisions about curriculum, co-curricular programs, the nature and scope of health and benefit programs, and faculty hiring. Women have unprecedented access, yes, but they have little influence.
We should, of course, herald the increase in the number of female college presidents. But we won't sound the trumpets yet. After all, women represent a disproportionate one-fifth of the presidencies, the American Council on Education has found, except at the community-college level, where they represent one-third of all presidents. While the number of nonwhite female presidents has increased over the past four decades, their ranks are in decline. Ironically, female presidents have more education than their male counterparts but are much less likely to have a spouse and children at home.
Given the current state of leadership affairs, it is no wonder that female faculty and administrators, like their student counterparts, feel constrained by policies and procedures that were originally designed by and for men. Too often this means that the different forms of excellence in research, art studios, classrooms, and boardrooms are rendered invisible by the status quo.
This is not to say that men are bad leaders; quite the contrary. But the current system of academic-leadership advancement was tailored for 19th-century male faculty, and it hasn't departed much from that pattern. So being a female academic or administrator is a lot like wearing a suit that was made for someone else. In my years as a tenured faculty member, administrator, consultant, and lawyer, I have witnessed the many ways in which most institutions are blind to those ill-fitted suits, to the realities of the 21st-century woman and the dual roles that men and women play in today's society.
Take the archaic tenure-and-promotion process, which is still designed for male faculty from two centuries ago, who were either single or had wives at home taking care of the household and the children. It doesn't recognize the need for flexibility, for example. I have several female colleagues who get up at 2 a.m. to work on manuscripts, but this is lost on the academy, which is more likely to notice an absence during a daytime meeting because of a sick child. That is why we need to take a close look at benefit packages and policies, to ensure that they have the dependent-care programs and dual-career support that are vital to the advancement of female faculty and their families.
And this is just the tip of the iceberg—countless processes, norms, and cultures are daily stumbling blocks to women's advancement. Female faculty are the handmaidens of academe, serving with their time, talent, and treasure in ways that move their institutions forward. But their contributions are often missed in considerations of tenure, promotion, recognition, salary increases, and leadership succession. Four decades after the passage of Title IX, it's no wonder that women still suffer from chilly climates or vote with their feet and leave academe for greener pastures. The situation is especially perilous for women from minority backgrounds.
Certainly, the authors of Title IX did not intend such a perverse result. So, what do we do about it? Simply place more women in positions of influence? Yes, and no. We need more female administrators, but women are not immune to discriminating unfairly or to perpetuating the male-oriented system. And there are some progressive male administrators who are working to fix structural problems and level the playing field in ways that advance women and men and the institutions that they serve.
What we need now is a continuing-education effort for men and women alike, coupled with institutional reforms that take today's realities into account and create an environment conducive to a more inclusive and equitable form of leadership.
Here are some useful ways to do that:
Educate yourself and others. Be honest—do you think Title IX is mostly about the accessibility of athletics programs? Read Title IX. Understand its intent and potential impact. Think about integrating Title IX into everything you do—your research, teaching, service, administration, and professional organizations. Spread the word to your colleagues.
If you see something, do something. If you're in senior leadership at your college, draw attention to unfair advantages, antiquated procedures, and conventional wisdom that unfairly discriminates against women. If you see harassment, report it and see that justice is served. If there's a lack of diversity in hiring pools and blue-ribbon committees, ask why. Demand professional treatment for all, and when you see meaningful gender equity, celebrate it openly and widely.
Commit to equity at the highest levels. If you are a university president or sit on a governing board to which a university president reports, be as vigilant about gender equity as you should be about avoiding NCAA violations and raising money. The committees that come together for strategic planning should be planning for gender equity as well, with approaches that redress inequity in continuing and sustainable ways and that are reinforced with institutional data.
Instill equity principles everywhere, every day. They must emanate from the president's office and proliferate throughout the campus and the larger community, in every academic, co-curricular, and support unit. Gender equity requires a change of mind and heart—a transformation of the institutional mind-set. We need to communicate, establish, and employ clear and fair standards for tenure, promotion, salary reviews, and leadership succession. We need creativity—in designing innovative work arrangements, career paths, employee benefits, and antidiscrimination policies that will benefit men and women alike. And we need to hold leaders accountable for progress on those fronts in terms of reappointment, budgetary allocations, and salary increases.
Establish support structures. This evolution will require some ballast. We'll need universitywide support for mentoring, confidential advice, recognition ceremonies, work-life interventions, critical-needs grants to assist with embryonic research initiatives, dependent-care resources for conferences and research travel, and leadership-succession programs that focus on gender equity.
These are our first steps in a long list of remedies that are certain to benefit women and men alike as well as the institutions they serve. Colleges and universities have long benefited from the presence of women—it's time to maximize the benefits of their leadership as well.

What Clients Are Saying About Us
Thank you so much for your prompt, efficient service. When a glass panel in the door of our oven broke, and we found out the even that manufacturer no longer carried the spare part, we were not sure where to turn. You came through with exactly the glass we needed. The new piece is installed and the oven is working again thanks to Peninsula Glass.
Rory Mercer Island, WA
I received my order and everything was awesome. I was thoroughly impressed with your company! Right from the start Internet order was easy. Fabrication and shipping was fast and very well packed. My order was exactly what I needed and installed as quick and painless as you guys filled my order.
Jason Clemmons, NC
The shipment arrived this afternoon and I am sooo delighted. Thank you so much for rushing this cut out right before the long three-day holiday weekend! My tiles are being installed tomorrow and it made it on time. Not only that, it is beautifully cut and polished. Thank you, thank you so much. You have out-priced and out-delivered any glass/mirror vendors that are located near me by many days!
DJ Corona Del Mar, CA
Hi, thanks for your excellent service and fast shipping. The replacement glass for my glass table is absolutely perfect. I would have no problem recommending your service to my friends and family. You guys are fantastic!
Ken Redwood City, CA
"I just wanted to let you know that we received the glass today. And it fits perfect…. When I say "perfect", I mean perfect….It was such a pleasant experience doing business with you and your company. Your customer service is among the best I've ever encountered! I'm now obligated to recommend One Day Glass to any and everyone that may be in the market for glass…So thanks a million!!!!"
Gavin Palm Bay, FL
To say that the glass arrived safely would be a gross understatement and not nearly respectful enough considering the care and packaging that went into shipping this ~80lb piece of tempered glass. Not only was this amazingly easy to order, it was finished exactly as I requested and it fits perfectly. Thank you very much and please consider me one of your new unpaid field sales people.
Michael Carlsbad, CA
I tried the tempered glass inserts, I got from you, for my wood stove last night. What a difference it made in the amount of heat that was given off by the stove. I guess at least 25% more heat is radiated out compared to the old metals inserts that were in there before. This will save me a lot of wood over the winter. Plus, I now can see how to regulate the damper for efficiency, and enjoy the view of the burning fire. Should of done this along time ago.
Over the past few years I've just come to expect my online orders to be screwed up somehow, however, One Day Glass came through with 100% accuracy. I ordered three shelves to replace the ones that I somehow lost in a move. They could not have looked or fit better. PERFECTION, is the word I would use in all aspects of this order. The price was excellent, the online custom order form was easy to follow, the delivery time was less than one week, and three of my pieces were safely packed and in mint condition when I pulled them out of the box. I couldn't be happier with my experience, and will be recommending you to anyone looking for custom glass services. Anyone who works there obviously takes a lot of pride in what they do. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! For service above and beyond the norm.
Brian & Andria Wenz Pensacola, FL
I received my order last week and just wanted to compliment your company for one of the best customer experiences I've had online. Starting with your excellent website, which was clear, informative, and easy to use, to your instant follow-up emails, progress report and tracking information, to the finished product itself, which is absolutely perfect. I've ordered a lot of stuff online, and you could definitely teach other companies a thing or two. Great job! I'll be sure to recommend you to anyone looking for custom glass.
Rick New York, NY
Your Website is the easiest I've Encountered. I'm very pleased with the service I've received from OneDayGlass.com, and the ordering process on your website is one of the best.
My glass arrived yesterday and I am absolutely thrilled with it! It replaced a coffee table glass that has been missing for 15+ years. It fit beautifully and looks stunning. Thank you for your fast delivery and superb packaging. I will recommend you highly.
Julie Pomona, CA
What a pleasure to do business with this company!! I wanted a plain beveled mirror with custom measurements. I agree the ordering process was simple and quick. We spoke to a representative asking specific questions about size and thickness. He answered all of our questions. The delivery was on time and tracked by Fed Ex. The mirror arrived perfectly packed without a problem. Best of all, the cost was much, much lower than custom mirrors I had priced and the shipping cost was worth every penny and still brought the price far below the quotes I had received from local glass companies. I highly recommend this company for its product and service.
Great Prices on wood stove glass! Let me begin by saying I ordered a piece of glass for the door on my wood stove from you. I shopped around before ordering for the best price. What I found baffled me. I was quoted a price locally (New Jersey) of $233.00 for the same piece of glass I ordered from you for $67.00!! The glass arrived in great shape, very carefully packaged and fit perfectly. Thanks for a great job and kudos on the price!! I'm a very happy customer and thanks again!
Bob Hill
Easy to order. You have one of the best web sites I have ordered anything through. Thank you for making this easy.
Thomas Clark
Our glass order arrived today. I want to thank you for your great service, accurate size of glass, your prompt response, and the follow-up email. Your service has surpassed all that we have seen during our recent move to the area. Thank you!
Russ & Kristine
Just wanted to let you know that my glass came in today. Everything looks really good. It fits the bar just right and the holes line up perfectly! Thanks for everything!
I ordered 10 panes of 15″x 9″ glass to make 2 glass doors the the order came quickly the packaging was great and most importantly the cuts were exact. Locally I would have spent 2-3 times the amount charged by One Day Glass because minimal charge was for a 36×36 piece…thanx One Day. I have 3 more doors to do & you have my business
Alfred Caviel Houston, TX
Just a little note to say that my glass arrived safely yesterday. You were much faster than if I had ordered it locally where I live. Very fast shipping! Perfect cut on the glass. You guys do great work and I'm very happy I ordered through you. I would recommend your company to anyone. Very happy customer.
John Pine Mountain Club, CA
I just wanted to drop you a note of thanks for the great job you did for me. I had an emergency need for some tempered glass and all local sources indicated that it would be 7-10 days for delivery. While searching the internet, I came across your company and immediately made the call. Your representative immediately took my info and order and said I would have my items by 10:30 the next morning. I was amazed to find them here by 9:30, cut to the correct size and complete. Your service is amazing. Please accept my congratulations and thanks for a job well done. I only wish you could bottle it so it was more readily available to the rest of the manufacturing world.
Bruce Franklin, WI
I just wanted to take a moment to tell you what a pleasure it was to do business with your company. I only needed to order one piece of glass for my fireplace and your customer service rep made the whole process an incredibly smooth and pleasant one. Your prices and customer service were 'as advertised' and your reputation is well deserved. I can assure you that you will continue to serve my (or friends) needs in the future
Anthony Strongsville, OH
The glass arrived (in one piece!). It works fine. Thanks again for the prompt and courteous service. Although we hopefully won't need to replace the stove glass again for a while, I will certainly recommend you to anyone in similar need.
Jerry Kansas City, MO
Thanks for all your help. You were great.
Steve Long Island, NY
You recently processed an order for me. The Neoceram arrived on the day expected and fit perfectly. Ordering the product was quick and easy and I would order from you again if I had the need and will pass the word on to my friends.
Scott Parkville, MD
I want to first say thank you for being so courteous & helpful and also for the emails back and forth and your prompt call back to me to take our order. I think you deserve kudos for your great customer service.
Cheryl Colchester, CT
I want you to know I very much appreciate your handling of the problem I had with my glass. Thank you for your good service.
Gene Wenatchee, WA
I am writing to say thank you. We broke a window on our wood burner and I found you on the internet. The sales person that handled my phone call was knowledgeable, helpful, courteous, and efficient. My replacement glass arrived exactly when promised. I am saving your website in my favorites in case I ever need anything else.
Julia Palmyra, MI
Thanks so much for the great product and fast service. Just received the glass and it fit like a champ. EZ!
James Rochester, IL
I ordered a piece of tempered glass to replace a broken shelf in my refrigerator. I have to say that my experience with you was flawless. Ordered the glass online, and it shipped quickly and was amazingly well-packaged. The fit was spot-on as well. The next time I break something, I'll order from you again!
Jim Williamsburg, VA

For Children Who Were Broken
it is very hard to mend……
Our pain was rarely spoken
and we hid the truth from friends.
Our parents said they loved us,
but they didn't act that way.
They broke our hearts
and stole our worth,
with the things that they would say.
We wanted them to love us.
We didn't know what we did
to make them yell at us
and hit us,
and wish we weren't their kid.
They'd beat us up and scream at us
and blame us for their lives.
Then they'd hold us close inside their arms
and tell us confusing lies
of how they really loved us —
even though we were BAD,
and how it was OUR fault they hit us,
OUR fault that they were mad.
When days were just beginning
we sometimes prayed for them to end,
and when the pain kept coming,
we learned to just pretend
that we were good
and so were they
and this was just
on of those days …
tomorrow we'd be friends.
We had to believe it so.
We had nowhere else to go.
Each day that we pretended,
we replaced reality
with lies, or dreams,
or angry schemes,
in search of dignity ….
until our lies
got bigger than the truth,
and we had no one real to be
Our bodies were forsaken.
With no safe place to hide,
we learned to stop
hearing and feeling what they did to our outsides.
We tried to make them love us,
till we hated ourselves instead,
and couldn't see a way out,
and wished that they were dead.
We scared ourselves by thinking that,
and scared ourselves to know,
that we were acting just like them —
and might ever more be so.
To be half the size of a grown-up
and trapped inside their pain….
To every day lose everything
with no savior or refrain…
To wonder how it is possible
that God could so forget
the worthy child you knew you were,
when you had not been damaged yet …
To figure on your fingers
that the years till you'd be grown
enough to leave the torment
and survive away from home,
were more than you could count to,
or more than you could bear,
was the reality we lived in
and we knew it wasn't fair.
We who grew up broken
are somewhat out of time,
struggling to mend our childhood,
when our peers are in their prime.
Where others find love
and contentment,
we still often have to strive
to remember we are worthy,
and heroes just to be alive.
Some of us are healing.
some are stealing.
Most are passing the anger on.
Some give their lives away to drugs,
or the promise of like beyond.
Some still hide from society.
Some struggle to belong.
But all of us are wishing
the past would not hold on
so long.
There's a lot of digging sown to do
to find the child within,
to love away the ugly pain
and feel innocence again.
There is forgiveness
worthy of angel's wings
for remembering those at all,
who abused our sacred childhood
and programmed us to fall.
To seek to understand them,
and how their pain became our own,
is to risk the ground we stand on
to climb the mountain home.
The journey is not so lonely
as in the past it s been …
More of us are strong enough
to let the growth begin.
But while we're trekking
up the mountain
we need everything we've got,
to face the adults we have become,
and all that we are not.
So when you see us weary
from the day's internal climb …
When we find fault
with your best efforts,
or treat imperfection
as purposeful crime …
When you see our quick defenses,
our efforts to control,
our readiness to form a plan
of unrealistic goals …
When we run into a conflict
and fight to the bitter end,
remember …
We think that winning means
we won't be hurt again.
When we abandon OUR thoughts
and feelings,
to be what we believe YOU
want us to,
or look at trouble we re having,
and want to blame it all on you…
When life calls for new beginnings,
and we fear they re doomed to end,
Wounded trust is like a wounded knee–
It is very hard to bend.
Please remember this
when we are out of sorts.
Tell us the truth, and be our friend.
For children who were broken…
it is very hard to mend.
-Dana Munkirs

John Ross Ewing From 'Dallas' Grew Up Good – Josh Henderson Hunk of the Day
Josh Henderson may be Oklahoma-born, but this hunky side of beef is all about Texas now — 'Dallas' [cue the theme song] to be exact.
Taking on the coveted role of John Ross Jr. III in the new TNT remake of the classic primetime staple must be hard work, but we're assuming he's probably taking it in stride with his shirt off. Why, because if you've seen this looker on 'Desperate Housewives' — that's his, well, specialty.
And who knew he was once a boy band singer? We didn't. Probably because we were distracted by his amazing, er, green eyes. Yeah, we'll just go with that.

OCEAN CITY – A Bel Air, Md. man found out this week cash,
not marijuana, is the currency of choice in Ocean City when he attempted to
purchase items from a resort convenience store with a bag of dope and was later
arrested on drug and theft charges.
Around 3 a.m. on Monday, Michael Autry, 27, of Bel Air,
walked into the 7-Eleven on 94th Street. Autry, who was reportedly
intoxicated at the time, grabbed a bag of chips and three bottles of Gatorade
and took them to the counter.
When the clerk rang Autry up, he fumbled around in his
pocket and was only able to produce a $1 bill. The clerk told him that would
not cover it and Autry went back to his pockets again, this time producing a
baggie of marijuana. The now frustrated Autry reached into the baggie and put
about half of its contents on the counter.
The clerk told him he would not accept marijuana as
payment and told Autry he was calling the police. Autry became angry and
smashed one of the drink bottles on the counter, breaking the bottle and
spilling its contents on the floor. Autry then ran from the store leaving
behind the merchandise and the marijuana.
Christine Plant and her K-9 partner Jester arrived on the scene a few minutes
later. The pair was able to track Autry to his hiding spot in the dunes behind
the Pyramid Condominium. Autry was arrested and charged with possession of
marijuana and misdemeanor theft.

Google Tag Manager on Jive to Track Outbound Links
Why Google Tag Manager with Jive?
You can update the tracked objects or metrics without having to edit your Jive instance configuration each time. That is especially useful for people on Cloud instances who cannot edit the script call themselves.
The value for Hosted customers is that you have less risks of hanging the system as you don't fiddle with it!
Google Tag Manager also allows you to have multiple access and version control: you don't need to give full system administrator access to your community to people only maintaining the metrics…
The detailed principle is not only usable on Jive communities as it is generic. I have transposed my "legacy" Tags/Rules/Macros to the new beta Tags/Triggers/Variables. If you encounter issues using my description, please let me know so I can correct/ improve it.

I missed the recent Unlock the Past cruise. I did quite fancy a revisit to Fiji, but alas it was not too be.
Jill over at Geniaus floated the idea of this small meme in regard to Social Media, so I thought that I would play along.
1. Tell us about your favourite social media tool and why you like it.
I love all aspects of social media. I love that it shrinks the world to the size of a matchbox! I like Twitter, it is an information snapshot in 140 characters! Information in the blink of an eye, what a fantastic concept. I like Facebook as it bridges the miles between family and friends across all parts of the globe. It enables me to share the incidentals of their lives and vice versa. Facebook does enable the "Like" facility which means that I can keep a track of sites without adding them as a friend. I am beginning to like Google+ and still need to explore and really embrace this further.
2. How do you use social media to further your genealogy career or business?
I recently set up a Facebook page to co-exist with my blog, currently it simply shows a link to the various blog posts, but will grow as I develop my research business further. I utilise Twitter to share my blog posts and raise my profile as others routinely favourite and re tweet my posts.
3. What advice would you give the cruiser who said "I must be living
under a rock" and is not sure about coming out from under it? (This came from my Social Media presentation)
Get out there and explore! The world of Geneabloggers and GeneaTwitters is a friendly and welcoming one. Explore and embark on a social media journey of discovery. Follow other bloggers and Tweeters and see how they do it - there is no right or wrong way! Explore, explore, explore the internet has so many wonderful sites to assist your research, please do not miss out!
4. What aspect of Social Media makes you grit your teeth?
I am non too keen on what I see as the Facebook high jacking of accounts - adjusting settings without my consent and changing the terms frequently.
5. How does social media assist with your CGD (continuing genealogical development)?
Social media enables information to come to me quite easily. I often favourite items on Twitter or in my reader so that I can revisit the items as time allows.
6. How do you fit social media time into your busy day?
The world of smart phones enables social media to be assessable all of the time - 24/7. So when I was off to the day job I by law should have a 30 minute break, the reality was often different, but found that I could have a quick Twitter or Facebook fix whilst waiting for the kettle to boil.
7. Do you have a story of how social media enabled you to connect with a long lost relation or fellow researcher?
Quite recently I wrote about a family that links to one of my Puttenham families and married into the Jackson family. As a result of that post, someone left a comment as they descended more closely that I to that very family. I replied to the comment, but sadly that have not revisited and left further comments or provided an email address or profile.
8. You have a minute to share a piece of advice about genealogy and social media. Go for it.
Social media is a tool. A great tool, which will enrich your research. That said, you can not beat the feel and experience of a records office, seeing those documents and knowing that they have survived several hundred years, and hopefully your ancestry is within those wonderful pages. Embrace social media and the people you meet along the way. It is a wonderful experience and you and your research will be the better for it.
So, as Jill says, are you up for the challenge?
The ramblings & obsessions of a fisherman's wife! ~ a potpourri of history, genealogy and books. Also some general ramblings if they take my fancy!

Climate Insensitivity: What the IPCC Knew But Didn't Tell Us
By Patrick J. Michaels and Paul C. "Chip" Knappenberger
In a remarkable example of scientific malfeasance, it has become apparent that the IPCC knew a lot more than it revealed in its 2013 climate compendium about how low the earth's climate sensitivity is likely to be.
The importance of this revelation cannot be overstated. If the UN had played it straight, the "urgency" of global warming would have evaporated, but, recognizing that this might cause problems, they preferred to mislead the world's policymakers.
Strong words? Judge for yourself.
The report "Oversensitive—how the IPCC hid the good news on global warming," was released today by the Global Warming Policy Foundation (GWPF)—a U.K. think-tank which is "concerned about the costs and other implications of many of the policies currently being advocated" regarding climate change (disclosure: our Dick Lindzen is a member of the GWPF Academic Advisory Council).
The new GWPF report concluded:
We believe that, due largely to the constraints the climate model-orientated IPCC process imposed, the Fifth Assessment Report failed to provide an adequate assessment of climate sensitivity – either ECS [equilibrium climate sensitivity] or TCR [transient climate response] – arguably the most important parameters in the climate discussion. In particular, it did not draw out the divergence that has emerged between ECS and TCR estimates based on the best observational evidence and those embodied in GCMs. Policymakers have thus been inadequately informed about the state of the science.
The study was authored by Nicholas Lewis and Marcel Crok. Crok is a freelance science writer from The Netherlands and Lewis, an independent climate scientist, was an author on two recent important papers regarding the determination of the earth's equilibrium climate sensitivity (ECS)—that is, how much the earth's average surface temperature will rise as a result of a doubling of the atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide.
The earth's climate sensitivity is the most important climate factor in determining how much global warming will result from our greenhouse gas emissions (primarily from burning of fossil fuels to produce, reliable, cheap energy). But, the problem is, is that we don't know what the value of the climate sensitivity is—this makes projections of future climate change–how should we say this?–a bit speculative.
Unsurprisingly, there has been a lot of recent scientific research aimed at gaining a better understanding of what the climate sensitivity may be. We have detailed much of this research in our ongoing series of articles highlighting new findings on the topic. Collectively, the new research indicates an ECS value a bit below 2°C. The latest in our series is here.
But in its Fifth Assessment Report (AR5) finalized this past January, the IPCC gave short shrift to the major implication of this collection of new research results—that the climate sensitivity is much lower than what the IPCC assessed it to be in its collection of previous assessment reports (issued every 6-7 years) and that the rate of climate change is going to be much less.
For example, formerly, in its Fourth Assessment Report (AR4), released in 2007, the IPCC had this to say regarding the equilibrium climate sensitivity:
It [the equilibrium climate sensitivity] is likely to be in the range 2°C to 4.5°C with a best estimate of about 3°C, and is very unlikely to be less than 1.5°C. Values substantial higher than 4.5°C cannot be excluded, but agreement of models with observations is not as good for those values. [emphasis in original]
In its new AR5, the IPCC wrote this:
Equilibrium climate sensitivity is likely in the range 1.5°C to 4.5°C (high confidence), extremely unlikely less than 1°C (high confidence), and very unlikely greater than 6°C (medium confidence)16. The lower temperature limit of the assessed likely range is thus less than the 2°C in the AR4, but the upper limit is the same. This assessment reflects improved understanding, the extended temperature record in the atmosphere and ocean, and new estimates of radiative forcing. [emphasis in original]
And IPCC AR5 footnote 16 states:
No best estimate for equilibrium climate sensitivity can now be given because of a lack of agreement on values across assessed lines of evidence and studies.
So, facing mounting scientific for a substantially lower climate sensitivity, the best the IPCC could bring itself to do was to reduce the low end of its "likely" range by one-half degree, refuse to put a value on its best guess, and still cling to its high end number. Big deal.
The reason that the IPCC could only make these meager changes was that the collection of climate models that the IPCC employs to make the bulk of its projections of future climate change (and future climate change impacts) has an average ECS value of 3.2°C. The IPCC couldn't very well conclude from the scientific evidence that the real value was somewhere south of 2°C—if it were to do so, it would invalidate the climate models and, for that matter the meat of its entire report (that is, its climate change projections).
We described the situation the IPCC faced last summer (prior to releasing the final copy of the AR5) this way:
The IPCC has three options:
- Round-file the entire AR5 as it now stands and start again.
- Release the current AR5 with a statement that indicates that all the climate change and impacts described within are likely overestimated by around 50 percent, or
- Do nothing and mislead policymakers and the rest of the world.
We're betting on door number 3.
As predicted, the IPCC chose option number 3.
The new GWPF report confirms, in detail, the IPCC's choice and how it came to make it—by confusing the reader with a collection of evidence that was outdated, already disproven, based upon flimsy assumptions, not directly applicable, or flat-out wrong.
Putting it nicely, Lewis and Crok describe the situation thus:
The AR5 authors might not have wanted to declare that some studies are better than others or to adjudicate between observational and model-based lines of evidence, but we believe that this is exactly what an assessment is all about: using expert knowledge to weigh different sources of evidence. In this section we present reasoned arguments for a different assessment to that in AR5.
Lewis and Crok go, in detail, through each climate sensitivity paper considered (and relied upon) by the IPCC and identify its shortcomings. At the end, they are left with a collection of five papers that, while still containing uncertainties, are built upon the most robust set of assumptions and measurements.
From those papers the Lewis and Crok conclude the following:
A new 'best observational' estimate of ECS can now be calculated by taking a simple average of the different observationally-based estimates….This gives a best estimate for ECS of 1.75°C and a likely range of about 1.3–2.4°C. However, recognizing that error and uncertainty may be greater than allowed for in the underlying studies, and will predominantly affect the upper of the range, we conservatively assess the likely range as 1.25–3.0°C.
Now compare these figures with those in AR4 and AR5….Our new 'best observational' ECS estimate of 1.75°C is more than 40% lower than both the best estimate in AR4 of 3°C and the 3.2°C average of GCMs used in AR5. At least as importantly, the top of the likely range for ECS of 3.0°C is a third lower than that given in AR5 (4.5°C) – even after making it much more conservative than is implied by averaging the ranges for each of the observational estimates.
And as to what this means about the IPCC global warming projections, Lewis and Crok write:
The [climate models] overestimate future warming by 1.7–2 times relative to an estimate based on the best observational evidence.
This is a powerful and important conclusion.
We recommend that you read the full report. Not only is it a comprehendible and comprehensive description of the current science as it relates to the climate sensitivity, but it is an illumination of how the IPCC process does, or rather doesn't, work.
The Obama Administration and its EPA will ignore this reality at their peril.

eight pack of EnerGel-X gel pens that I have been searching for as if my life depended on it. What's so amazing about this eight pack? THE COLORS. It has the new pink, orange, and sky blue that I desperately coveted. Since they are so delicious, I thought it most appropriate to review the 0.7mm EnerGel-Xs first.
Features (from Pentel):
- Medium point, 0.7 mm
- Assorted includes 1 each Black, Blue, Red, Green, Orange, Light Blue, Purple, Pink
- Soft latex-free grip for comfort and control
- Attractive color-tinted barrels with curved clip design match ink color
- Quick drying ink formulation is ideal for lefties
- Made of 84% recycled plastic
|Eghhh this I'm a little ashamed of. Please don't judge me based on this writing. I was just messing around. The point was that these pens are GREAT for doodling because of the smooth, crisp lines, low smudging, and fabulous ink coverage.
The Pentel EnerGels also come in 0.5mm needle tips and 1.0mm tips. A whole spectrum of tip sizes! How perfect.
Be aware though, these pens are NOT water resistant! In my opinion, it's more important that they don't smudge. You can avoid water more easily than you can avoid smudging.
Staples - $11.99 for the 8-pack
JetPens - $1.25
Refills at JetPens - $1.00
Highly recommended. In my humble opinion, these are one of the best looking, best writing gel pens on the market, so long as you aren't looking for a micro tip pen. Solid, bold colors, and comfortable bodies are a great combination. If you have not yet tried the Pentel EnerGel-X, well, not only is that an atrocity, it is complete insanity. We must remedy that immediately.
See my review on Pentel's blog!
**I was provided with one or more of these products for review, but all opinions are my own!

My infatuation with Quantum Physics: a true love story.
PepperJack posted a blog entry in PepperJack's BlogThrow away everything you have ever learned about classical physics. Forget about everything logic has taught you, and remove any ordinary rules of thought that every sane person uses to make deductions. For some people this may be harder than others, but for me, it's fun. Not like hydrogen bonding is "FON" but like real fun. Mr. Fullerton said, "If you understand Quantum Physics, you must be an idiot, or should have a PhD in physics." Challenge accepted Mr. Fullerton. Quantum Physics is like the rebel of all science's this is why I am so attracted to the idea! Classical physics says, particle are particles, and waves are waves, and never shall they meet. Particles have an energy E and a momentum vector p. Waves, like light waves, have amplitude A and a wave vector k (where the magnitude of k=2?/?, where ? is the wavelength) that points in the direction the wave is traveling. According to classical physics, that's the end of it. However, in reality things are a bit different. There are random laws. The theories of nature are intellectually intolerable and contradicting. The idea of a random, uncontrollable element in the laws of nature did not sit well with classic physicists. This idea of the arrival of a photon was truly an unpredictable event. The final position of a photon is unpredictable. It is impossible to say where the photon is and what direction it's moving in. This fuzziness deals with the Uncertainty Principle. And by Uncertainty, in no way is this made up numbers. Uncertainty is precise, it is a fact and it is known. (Thank you Hindenburg.) It involves probability measurements, integral calculus, and other fancy mathematics. So this uncertainty dealing with probability could be as simple as flipping a coin 1000 times. Now there is a probability of flipping a coin heads 1000 times, but I wouldn't bet my money on that. It is completely random and unpredictable as of now by scientists. This is kind of what Einstein meant when he said "God doesn't play dice." He flips coins. Just kidding! But there has been some controversy over this with Stephen Hawking challenging Einstein's claim, and presenting an idea which could possibly allow scientists to tell the future. The end of time is the next revolution in physics. Scientist are describing time as something that happens when nothing else does. Others believe if nothing happened, if nothing changed, time would stop. Kind of like if a tree fell in a forest with no one there, would anyone hear it? But this new claim in science questions, and proves time doesn't exist. A timeless universe is intensely temporal. This new theme casts doubt on Einstein's greatest contribution, the space-time continuum. The problem? The great chasm between classical and quantum physics. Einstein's general relativity and quantum mechanics may well spell the end of time. This is the mystery of the universe: multiple worlds, time travel, immortality, and the illusion of motion. This is the most fascinating thing I have ever set my eyes upon. This is the Stern-Gerlach experimental apparatus. The result expected for atoms in an l = 1 state (three components) is shown. The angular momentum is l=0 and z component of that angular momentum is 0. These silver atoms spin up or spin down. Because 46 of the silver's 47 electrons are arranged in a symmetrical cloud, they contribute nothing to the orbital angular momentum of the atom. The 47th electron can be in the 5p state, the angular momentum is l=0 and the z component of angular momentum is 0. It could also be in the 5p state when the angular momentum is l=1, which means the z component of its angular momentum can be -1, 0, or 1. There are two possible directions of spin up or down. Electrons contain intrinsic angular momentum giving us angular momentum that interacts with magnetic field. Angular momentum other than orbital angular momentum is just spin. And depending of the spin of that 47th electron in the atom, there are two possible states of the spin up and down. This is similar to the spin of the earth, you can't stop it. And you also cannot stop the electrons from possessing spin. This goes for other subatomic particles that possess spin, such as protons. Another scary, wonderful thing about quantum mechanics is the interacting of two electrons. Identical particles do not retain their individuality in terms of any measurable, observable quality. You lose the individuality of identical particles as soon as you mix them with similar particles! As soon as you let N identical particles interact, you cannot say which exact is one at r1, r2, r3, r4� Particles obviously have some identity problems. I mean they're just a discrete piece of matter, give them a break. Another cool thing about quantum physics is tunneling. A phenomenon where particle can get through regions that their classically forbidden to go. Are we getting this theme of classic, not being so classy to quantum physics? Mainly what I am trying to say is if I ever fall through the floor due to quantum mechanics, you can have my physics books. The police should really keep their eyes out for photons. They can collide into others, split and then rejoin again! They are tricky things. The basic interaction is called a vertex a fork in the road. A particle proceeds along its world line, until it comes to a fork, but then, instead of choosing one road or the other, the particle splits and turns into two particles, one for each branch. A single electron, spontaneously, without any warning suddenly splits into an electron and a photon, each part is somehow less than the original. Scary concepts from quantum physics: -Probability can be in negatives, but it is nonsense to say, getting heads over tails is a minus one-third chance, it just doesn't make sense. -The complex number, imaginary number, i, is abstract math for the square root minus one. -Black holes are black bodies. -1 light-year is really just a year -Even the coldest object radiates some electromagnetic radiation, as long as they are not absolute zero, which scientist have not yet reached. -If a black hole loses energy, it also loses mass. -Noise is just random unstructured information, like white noise on the screen of a defective TV set, which is why the TV keeps coincidentally turning on in Donnie Darko! Scary. -A dumb hole is a drain hole where the velocity of the flow exceed the speed of sound in water, close to the drain -Mr. Fullerton's hair absorbs every color besides red. -It is possible to have a coin land on its side -It is possible to throw a ball against a wall so many times it goes through "It is impossible as I state it, and therefore I must in some respect have stated it wrong." ~Sherlock Holmes

A nearly forgotten singer/songwriter of the '60s, Tim Rose's early work bore a strong resemblance to another Tim working in Greenwich Village around 1966-1967 -- Tim Hardin. Rose also favored a throaty blues folk-rock style with pop production flourishes, though he looked to outside material more, wasn't quite in Hardin's league as a singer or songwriter, and had a much harsher, even gravelly vocal tone. Before beginning a solo career, Rose had sung with Cass Elliott in the folk trio the Big Three a few years before she joined the Mamas and the Papas. Signed by Columbia in 1966, his 1967 debut album (which actually included a few previously released singles) is considered by far his most significant work. Two of the tracks were particularly noteworthy: his slow arrangement of "Hey Joe" inspired Jimi Hendrix's version and "Morning Dew," Rose's best original composition, became something of a standard, covered by the Jeff Beck Group, the Grateful Dead, Clannad, and others. Years later, though, it was debated as to whether Rose wrote the song, or whether folksinger Bonnie Dobson penned the original version. Some non-LP singles he recorded around this time have unfortunately never been reissued, and although he made several other albums up through the mid-'70s, none matched the acclaim of the first one. An influence on Nick Cave and others, Rose died on September 24, 2002. A posthumous album called Snowed In, which contains material Rose was working on in the last year of his life, was released in 2003 by Cherry Red Records.

Hot Weather Tips From Silva Management Insurance Services
Summer is here, and the 4th of July is just around the corner. As we move to do more outside activities, it will be important to remember to stay cool. For people who labor outside throughout the summer, heatstroke is the most serious risk and should be handled as a medical emergency. Heatstroke happens when the body's temperature is out of control, causing damage to the brain and other internal organs. Heatstroke can result in permanent impairment or even death if not treated promptly.
- Drink plenty of water
- Do not consume alcohol in the heat
- Appliances generate heat. An oven can easily raise the room temperature by 10 degrees. Save cooking with heat for cooler hours during the day, or cook outdoors on your grill. It is also a good idea to run the dishwasher and clothes dryer at night.
- Choose garments made from natural fibers, such as cotton, which is breathable. Wear loose-fitting, light-colored clothing that will allow air to circulate while you are out in the heat.
- Eat small meals more often. Avoid foods that are high in protein because they increase metabolic heat. Avoid using salt tablets unless directed to do so by a physician.
- Do not leave children or pets in a closed vehicle, even for a few minutes.
- A cool shower or bath is a great way to stay cool and much more effective than using an electric fan.
- Limit physical activity: Take breaks during the day.
Heatstroke is the most serious heat-related sickness, defined as a body temperature of 103 degrees Fahrenheit or higher. Hot, red skin, rapid heartbeat, shallow breathing, disorientation, delirium, and coma are some of the symptoms.
Please keep an eye on your neighbors who are old, housebound, or otherwise hesitant to seek assistance in your neighborhood. On hot days, you can offer to host them in your air-conditioned living room, transport them to a nearby cooling center, or phone family or city agencies to make arrangements for them to stay cool.
All of us at Silva Management Insurance Services hope you stay cool and enjoy your summer! Keep us in mind if you need to insure your summer toys.
