Met Office delivers new climate simulations to international modelling activity
February 2012 - Met Office climate models have made a significant input to the international CMIP5 modelling project for IPCC.
Every 5-6 years the Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change (IPCC) publishes a report into the most up to date understanding of climate science, including an assessment of the physical science, vulnerability of socio-economic and natural systems and mitigation options. Met Office climate research has always played a key role in informing this process and the next report, the Fifth Assessment Report (AR5), due out in late 2013 will be no different with several Met Office scientists playing major roles as lead authors and coordinating lead authors for the report. One crucial aspect of the assessment report is in making projections of future change which draw on state-of-the-art climate models.
The 5th Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5) is an internationally coordinated activity to perform climate model simulations for a common set of experiments across all the world's major climate modelling centres. Over the last two years Met Office climate models have been used to perform all of the CMIP5 experiments and deliver the results to a publicly available database. The CMIP5 modelling exercise involved many more experiments and many more model-years of simulation than previous CMIP projects, and has been referred to as "the moon-shot of climate modelling" by Gerry Meehl, a senior member of the international steering committee, WGCM. Throughout the entire CMIP5 process, Met Office scientists have been instrumental in informing the experimental design, and performing the required experiments. The Met Office has been the first centre to start producing data and to have finished all the experiments using our state-of-the-art "Earth System" model, Met Office seasonal and climate models.
What is an Earth System Model?
HadGEM2-ES is a configuration of the Unified Model (MetUM), and is the Earth System version of our family of climate models Met Office climate prediction model: HadGEM2 family. The tag "Earth System" refers to the fact that it represents many more processes than just the physical atmospheric and oceanic processes commonly included in General Circulation Models (GCMs). HadGEM2-ES has, at its core, the atmospheric and ocean components of the MetUM but also includes representations of the global carbon cycle, dynamic vegetation, atmospheric chemistry and ocean biology. This means instead of using pre-determined inputs of atmospheric composition such as aerosols and greenhouse gases, the model can simulate how these components change over time in response to anthropogenic activity and changing climate conditions. More than a decade ago Met Office research was the first to show that coupling the global carbon cycle to a climate model could significantly accelerate climate change due to the "climate-carbon cycle feedback". This research, published in Nature in 2000 by Peter Cox and colleagues has now been cited more than 1,000 times and established the Met Office as world leaders in Earth System science.
The Met Office Hadley Centre remains at the forefront of Earth System research.
HadGEM2-ES was the focus of an editorial in the journal Nature in 2010 and was described as "...possibly the world's most sophisticated climate model". The diagram shows the complex web of interactions represented in HadGEM2-ES - making it more complex than any other model that has been used for all of the CMIP5 experiments. Not only does the atmospheric composition affect the weather and climate, but interactions between the components are also important, such as dust emissions from bare soil which act as a source of iron, an important micro-nutrient, to oceanic plankton which in turn can emit DMS - an aerosol pre-cursor which acts to form cloud condensation nuclei and thus affect the Earth's radiation balance and vegetation growth. The model is also able to represent direct human influence over the land surface, through deforestation, as well as through emissions of CO2 and other greenhouse gases.
The climate simulations with HadGEM2-ES will help to understand key climate and biogeochemical processes and also to answer questions about the future such as what climate change might look like under un-checked emissions of CO2, or what emissions reductions would be required to achieve a given climate "target" to avoid dangerous climate change.
Long-term and near-term
In addition to performing climate projections for the 21st century with HadGEM2-ES, CMIP5 for the first time included experiments to make near-term climate predictions. In this context, "predictions" differ from "projections" in that they attempt to capture natural climate variations as well as the long-term average response to human influence. The Met Office is also a world-leading centre for decadal predictions, and for these near-term simulations we used the HadCM3 climate model initialised with observations of the ocean and atmosphere state. This has already been shown to give improved forecasts of global temperature and Active hurricane season comes to an end, and there are signs that skilful predictions of rainfall and drought might be possible in some regions including parts of Africa, America, India and Europe.
The size of the problem
The sheer number and diversity of experiments has meant that this activity has required huge effort from across all our science and IT areas. About 10,000 model years have been simulated and more than 165,000 data files have been processed and sent to the "Earth System Grid" - the distributed database that will make the CMIP5 results from all modelling centres available for researchers around the world to analyse.
All of the hard work developing and running our models would count for nothing if we were unable to deliver our data in a timely manner in the required format to the end users. This in itself has been a huge undertaking, and has required world-leading IT support and infrastructure every bit as much as the modelling has required world-leading science expertise. To date we have delivered 45 TB of data - or around 90 times the amount of data we sent for the equivalent exercise for the last IPCC report (AR4), with up to 5 TB still to come over the next few months. We are very grateful to colleagues at the British Atmospheric Data Centre (BADC) for their help and support in hosting this data.

Founding member and the current director of PASSOP, Braam Hanekom's childhood in Zimbabwe strongly influenced his views on refugees. An activist in the fight for the rights of immigrants, asylum seekers and refugees, Hanekom writes a weekly column for newspaper, The Zimbabwean. Between the end of 2007 and early 2008, he was arrested four times for different protest actions: in three of the four arrests, charges were withdrawn by the state. Although an active member of the ANC, he is also a strong critic of the government's shortcomings. Hanekom serves on the board with civil society representatives from COSATU, SWEAT and Workers World among others. He is a laureate of the 2008 Inyathelo award for youth in philanthropy, and in 2011 was chosen by the Mail and Guardian as one of it's 200 young South Africans.

Video: Home Theater Auto Calibration
Like a fine orchestra, a home theater receiver needs to tune up before it performs. The reason is simple. No sound system is "one size fits all." Speaker size, as well as your room's dimensions, furniture, flooring, ceiling height and even building materials are all things that can affect and possibly degrade sound quality. Fortunately, most receivers come with a built-in solution — auto setup.
Video Transcript
I'm here in the Crutchfield lab today to talk with you about calibrating your new home theater receiver. What's different in the automatic setup system — you can tell immediately you don't have a whole lot of things to glance through and press buttons on. All you really need to do is go to "start".
So you get a prompt from the system that tells you to connect the calibration microphone. So I plug the microphone in, and oh, look. Now it gives me the prompt to press on "next". You'll see that this particular setup will calibrate your subwoofer. Now the prompt is to place the microphone at ear level at the main listening position then select "begin test".
What you want to do is raise the microphone up to the level of where your ear is going to be. We find that the best way to do this is to take a tripod, and the threaded insert is exactly the same so it's very easy to place the microphone at the top of the tripod and adjust the tripod to about your ear level. So now we simply go to "begin test" There we are.
Now it's simply a matter of choosing "store," and this information is all set and now in the receiver, saved and ready to go. Now you just need to find your favorite movie. If you have any questions about auto calibration or tuning your system, just give Crutchfield a call. We'll be happy to help.

In these times of economic uncertainty, governments under a cowering atmosphere may develop the phobia of actuating policies and regulations in a desperate attempt to contain the situation. From a global perspective, the use of policies in the form of regulations and tax breaks to influence a country's economic position has been rave about by some transformational leaders as a form of insurance for their economies even though in some cases it transcends the rules of the international trade game or globalization in the bigger context. Whichever policies are made in country, the fact remains that government policy in terms of reality is always a two-edged sword. Unfortunately, most in the world especially the capitalist countries are resentful of government regulations and policies. They see these policies as a threat to the progress of capitalism and also to their freedom. However, much as it appears to be a threat in some aspect, there are beneficiation dimensions when its economics of social cost and social benefits are evaluated. It is in the light of these fundamental truths that this article seeks to discuss the convolution surrounding the two-edged nature from the following scenarios and perspectives: national security versus international trade, nationalization versus de-nationalization, investors and consumer protection versus Innovation, monetary and fiscal policies versus Politics and finally environmental protection commitment versus Nash equilibrium.
Scenario 1 – National Security Vs International Trade: Interestingly, the trade-off between economic gains, national security and sovereignty presents a very dicey situation especially in this era of terrorism rise and threats of rising military prowess of certain countries. Thus, governments in some instances are eclipsed between national security defense and their policies governing international trade. A paradigm of the case is when a country incapacitated by financial crisis or debt is torn between fulfilling budget constraints and national security. Take the case of United States or United Kingdom. In this epoch of mounting budget deficit when United States or United Kingdom has to choose between buying warplanes or national defense equipments from a low-cost country such as China or Brazil as against securing such gadgets from manufacturers in the United States or the EU at a higher price. Obviously, these countries will pay the higher price of increased budget deficits if they decide to buy the planes from manufacturers on its own soil. Nevertheless, they gain because national security and sovereignty is protected. On the other hand, if these countries should buy the defense items from manufacturers in China or Brazil, there is reduced budget deficit but national security is threatened. Subsequently, the decision on the path to take will depend on the contribution margin of the cost to be incurred with respect to the budget deficit versus the highly valued national security. Strangely, the scenario of national security and trade is absurd when social cost and social benefit are assessed from the perspective of international trade in Arms. International trade in Arms which used to be antipathized is fast becoming an acceptable norm in globalization. The driving force being threat of invasion and some countries desire for military prowess. Over the years the world has witnessed Arms being sold openly by some developed and developing nations to other nations as part of international trade. Information also has it that technology is being sold secretly to nations to augment their military capability. The curiosity surrounding such esoteric trade in Arms becomes more stronger when the investors from one country choose to export technology to another country as part of selling services to the country or customers or partners in that country. Regrettably, trading in Arms and secret technology puts the national security of the seller country and recipient country all at risk. On one hand, the technological secrets of seller country may be exposed to the recipient (buyer) country. On the other hand and in the long term, the seller country may become a threat to the recipient country because of an inherent access to its security intelligence. Undoubtedly, the security of the world is being marred by sale in Arms and secret technology both of which implicitly associates with the much dreaded activity "terrorism". In fact, the world cannot be a safe place until the esoteric sale in Arms and secret technology is constrained and strongly repudiated by United Nations prompting every nation to come clean on any nefarious trade in Arms and nuclear technology. People are of the view that such an agenda is too ambitious and inconceivable judging from the fact that some nations have resisted similar attempts by the UN in the past. Nations cryptically trading in nuclear technology tend to be the most perpetrators of this kind of trade. I am an advocate of nuclear technology application in nuclear reactors for production of energy for social beneficiation purposes and will always identify with governments policies that promote that. However, any policy that circumvents energy production for beneficiation but promotes usage for antagonistic purposes is absolutely unacceptable and deleterious. Enriching Uranium by centrifuging for production of nuclear bombs is detestable and the world must boldly speak against it. United States is doing well by speaking against it but it needs the massive support of the whole world to deal with this growing menace. It is possible those countries that fall into the domain of nuclear technology abusers may feel isolated because of UN sanctions against them. They will try to placate their anger by pursuing policies that might enrage the world. But the world should not be perturbed by such tendencies and must still maintain the sanctions. Some contend that sanctions are not working but I am of the view that sanctions backed by constructive criticism and dialogue will immobilize these autocratic regimes and bring their unpopular pursuits to an end. I also believe the spread of democracy will definitely catch up on the whole world and help eradicate the bad "nuts" in the system. Only time will prove this assertion right. We are the world and we must not let a few dictate our future and freedom. Freedom is a gift from God and we must enjoy it.
Generally, sale in Arms and technological secrets has made the world unsafe and implicitly exacerbated terrorism in the world. Additionally, international trade restrictions have broken down because of some nation's policies of self-centeredness and indifference to safety and freedom of the world. Sadly, some nations policies of neo-colonialism or economic imperialism for solidification of their national security pose a threat not only to international trade but also to the spread of democracy in the world.
Scenario 2 – Nationalization Vs De-nationalization: Presently, there is the conglomerate effort by governments of some major economies to propagate global regulations for the financial markets and banks so as to prevent a repetition of the global financial meltdown. To some analyst this is called nationalization and an infringement on the current supposed de-nationalization existing in the capitalist economies. Again, on the pessimistic side of this issue are the analysts who see the predisposition by the leaders as protectionism and an inordinate desire to influence the economy to the detriment of market efficiency. They also see such tendencies as generally not resonating with stakeholders' interest especially when the country concerned is of capitalistic proclivity. Howbeit, government regulations whether in financial, educational, health and industrial sectors suggest a form of influence of globalization and have several connotations associated with it. Unfortunately, in a period of economic uncertainty, governments may assume a desultory characteristic which makes them more susceptible to enforcement of regulations in educational, health, financial and even the industrial sectors. For example, the current administration of the United States governments and certain western countries are compelled to press for policies and regulations to control some salient sectors of the economy including financial and health center because of the current global economic uncertainty which has incapacitated a lot of families and made them liabilities on the government. It is true that times are hard and government will want to empathize with the masses by pressing for regulations. However, skeptics are worried about how far the regulations can go and its projected negative impacts on the market and most importantly factors of production. Again, such pursuits are seen as an inclination towards nationalization as against de-nationalization of the market economy. In America some economists have described the handling of the GM financial crisis issue as a proclivity towards nationalization. Recall when GM filed for bankruptcy, the government provided more than $50 billion (tax payers money) for its redemption besides taking a stake of 60% ownership of the company and the replacement of its CEO with a government approved one. Coincidentally, further down the road pockets of nationalization has taken place in the country. For example the interstate rail service takeover to form Amtrak and also Airport Security management take over by the federal government after September 11. All these are forms of nationalization that has beneficiation. For example, the recent changes in airport security with regards to whole body scanning of travelers infringe on our privacy and freedom yet it can be effectual in preventing terrorist from getting into flights to cause harm. Should we blame the government for nationalizing the airport security? No. Must we applaud the government for instituting the measure of effective scanning? Yes. What would have happened if the government had not taken over the management of airport security after the September 11, 2001 disaster? In fact, it is quite impossible for a country to exist without any pockets nationalization. In this period of financial failures and global uncertainty, at least some pockets of nationalization even in free-capitalist countries is inevitable. A little nationalization will not kill even though extreme nationalization like what is happening in Venezuela and certain parts of Africa is unacceptable and vicious. Currently, the question that is being debated is whether the domain of nationalization includes turning a private sector indirectly into a public good. For example the allegation currently by some that the health sector is being made a public good with the presumption of the act being synonymous with nationalization. Others believe that government intervention in the health sector may not correct the failing health system. I am of the view that the health sector will only become a public good if only all in America including illegals benefit from it and there is no way to prevent anyone unqualified from benefiting from it. Also there is immense additional cost to be incurred here if checks and balances are not in place. Unfortunately, after much publicized and heated debate in congress, a consensus has still not been reached on the reform proposals. There is an argument of an increased role by government in the sector affecting efficiency in the sector. Another contention is that employers will be burdened with huge healthcare costs. Whatever the healthcare reforms package will entail, it must be judged based on the economic principle of social cost and social benefit and not on the economics of externalities.
Globally, the predilection by some countries for international regulations for banks has been fueled by the recent developments of bad debts at Dubai Bank and also the huge national debts or financial crisis of some European countries with Iceland and Greece at the front. Though, the debt belongs to the individual countries yet it is turning to be a pervasive problem with consequences likely to affect Europe and the rest of the world. The coming of the EU to the aid of Greece will go a long way to reveal the strength of the relationship between the EU countries and the authenticity of the cordiality governing them. Meanwhile, Greece in order to win the approbation of the EU and satisfy the European Stability Pact that enjoins all members to maintain a debt level of 3% of GDP has decided to take some austerity measures including but not limited to VAT increases, freeze on pension funds and working rights limitations, reduction in healthcare benefits. Though this is going to create hardships for the people of Greece with upsurge in social unrest in the coming days, authorities emphasized the measures as being the heady way for the country to deal with its mounting debt and refinance its 17 billion debt bond. In addition to the Stability Pact, the EU may argue that there is too huge a price to pay to remedy Greece from its predicaments. Perhaps, the EU has decided to follow the footsteps of the United States where generally the rescue of states in financial crisis by the federal government is not popular because the tax payer prefers not to bear the cost of a state's mismanagement. On few occasions the federal government may come to the aid of a state only if there is a justification for that. Sorry to say, EU is not considering the effect their inaction will have on the confidence of the member countries. But the facts are clear. There are a number of EU countries hanging in an imbalance with regards to debts and economic problems. So if the EU cannot extend some minimal level of credit to Greece to help ease the country's debt burden then it presupposes in future any EU country that finds itself in a similar situation will be allowed to go bankrupt and collapse. In fact, some level of credit should have been extended by the EU to Greece to show to the world the strength of the Union and the care for its members. Indeed, this is a testing time for the EU and the Union's ability to deal with such problems will go a long way to substantiate the competency of their unity and to brighten the way forward. Perchance any EU intervention to remedy the Greece situation is being categorized as nationalization by the Union.
Finally, it is feared globally that more of such bad debts and financial failures will occur in the near future with repercussions of consumer and investor confidence reduction if nothing is done. Watch out for part 2 of this article which discusses this phobia.

Thomas Jefferson has not lacked for biographers and editors, or fans and detractors. Even though Jefferson meticulously saved his papers, he was singularly unlucky in his first editors.
The published papers of the founding fathers served as the bedrock for the first accounts of American nation-building, starting with John Marshall's "Life of George Washington" in 1803. Whereas an admiring grandson of his great rival, John Adams, saw Adams's papers into press, Jefferson's initial editor tampered with his manuscripts, omitted important items and studded the nine volumes with conspicuous inaccuracies. A man who hated contention, Jefferson has remained a controversial figure from the time he left the presidency.
Forty years later Paul Leicester Ford brought out a fuller, more professional edition of Jefferson's papers, but Ford, a crusty Northern conservative, lacked the political imagination to grasp that Jefferson's presidency might actually have had merit. Writing when Jefferson's reputation was at its post-Civil War nadir, Ford retailed every nasty thing that had ever been said about Jefferson, telling readers that his subject had been charged with "contradictions and instability," with "hypocrisy, opportunism, and even lack of any political principles," to the embarrassment of "his most devoted adherents."
Not counting himself a devoted adherent, Ford struggled to account for Jefferson's success, finally conceding that the people in some subtle way had understood him and realized that his controlling aim was neither national independence nor state sovereignty, but rather to secure for them "the ever enduring privilege of personal freedom."
Jefferson's luck turned when the publishing family of the New York Times and Princeton University underwrote an edition of his voluminous collections of letters, reports, speeches and legislative notes. With former Princeton librarian Julian Boyd at the helm, this edition set the standard for all subsequent editions of presidential papers.
With tens of thousands of items and pamphlet-length notes that became the hallmark of Boyd's editorship, progress was slow. The first volume appeared in 1950, and now, three editors and 62 years later, the series has finally reached Jefferson's presidency.
In the half-century between the Ford and Boyd volumes, Jefferson's reputation recovered much of its luster. With the Democratic Party eager to claim him as a founder, Congress in 1943 established the Jefferson Bicentennial Commission and celebrated his 200th birthday by breaking ground on a Jefferson Memorial in the capital. The democratic ideals Jefferson articulated became the goals behind America's war effort.
Since then, biographies of Jefferson have abounded. Those biographers born north of the Mason-Dixon line, particularly in Massachusetts, have leavened the loaf of praise, showing less tolerance for the slaveholder who provocatively yoked equality and liberty in the Declaration of Independence. Jon Meacham, a newcomer to the group, hails from the border state of Tennessee, which may account for his appreciative treatment of Jefferson's life. Meacham, who has written best-selling biographies, won the Pulitzer Prize in 2009 for "American Lion: Andrew Jackson in the White House."
In "Thomas Jefferson: The Art of Power," Meacham, despite his subtitle, accomplishes something more impressive than dissecting Jefferson's political skills by explaining his greatness, a different task from chronicling a life, though he does that too — and handsomely. Even though I know quite a lot about Jefferson, I was repeatedly surprised by the fresh information Meacham brings to his work. Surely there is not a significant detail out there, in any pertinent archive, that he has missed.
Because Jefferson was at the center of American public life between 1776 and 1826, readers of Meacham's biography are deftly taken through every important event in that critical half-century. A master at setting up a scene, he knows just which anecdotes, quotes or observations will convey the raw emotions that swirled through the tension-packed years in which the newly independent American states established themselves as a nation respected by its allies and its enemies alike.
While Meacham adroitly weaves together his narrative, we learn how the summoning of the Estates-General in France led to revolution. Although he covers Jefferson's life comprehensively, he doesn't dwell on the more problematic Jeffersonian initiatives such as the treason trial of Aaron Burr or the Embargo of 1807.
Any author who elects to focus on what made Jefferson a great historical figure has to deal with the disfiguring features in his life: his status as a slaveholder and the likelihood that he sired children by his slave Sally Hemings. Meacham treads lightly on both issues. He accepts slavery as an existing but deplorable institution, much as an enlightened slaveholder might have.
As for Hemings, a 1998 DNA test proved that a male in Jefferson's family was the father of her last child, Eston, born in 1808. Another son, Madison Hemings, in old age told an interviewer that his mother had said that Jefferson was the father of all her children, including one conceived in Paris when Jefferson was minister to France.
Meacham no doubt weighed the controversy swirling around both pieces of evidence and decided to go with Madison's story, making it a part of his. When Jefferson's daughter Polly died, he commented that now Patsy was his last child by his late wife, a subtle reminder that there were other progeny.
Not given to psychologizing, Meacham takes us into the overarching motivations and predictable reactions of Jefferson by closely analyzing his pattern of behavior. Thrust into the role of slave-master and man of the family at age 14 when his father died, Jefferson brooked no opposition from his subordinates, but among his political colleagues, he used hospitality to grease the way to his goals. His aversion to contention became a powerful political tactic. Meacham shows how Jefferson's wedding of an unrelenting drive to achieve his republican goals with a pragmatic response to the possibilities of the moment worked for him again and again.
What remains mysterious is how Jefferson acquired the reforming principles that guided his career. What was the source of his faith in ordinary men? Many of his contemporaries believed in liberty and self-government. Yet they found his convictions about the masses' capacity to take care of themselves so bizarre that they had to call Jefferson a hypocrite. The mystery deepens when you consider that the most conservative electorate in the United States — the planters of Virginia — repeatedly elected to high office this cerebral, provocative statesman for the people.

Today the latest exhibition of artist Kevin Lyons opened its doors at concept store colette in Paris.
"Kevin's latest show for colette consists of a number of drawings, illustrations, paintings, prints, and installations that explore the vibrant, colorful language of reggae and dancehall culture. Both a student and an avid collector of early reggae and rock steady, Lyons combines his formal interests and skills in illustrated simple characters, bold typography, and the fun rolling poetry of the language itself. The sheer volume, variety and repetition of this poetry and the visual screaming monsters who repeat it al throughout the space creates its own silly but heartfelt rhythm. Dancehall style bump and grind is encouraged."Tonight the new WeSC x Fatsarazzi Collection was also launched at colette. As you can imagine, the crowds came out for the two events. The exhibition is running until February 26th.

The Finest in Elegant Flamboyance
This is hands down the best name on the entire poster. Not even close.
This better be in the Sahara tent
Im still getting fits of the chills every time I re-read this name on the line up.
I mean, we all wished for it, but I never thought it'd actually happen
Please not in the sahara
still in shock...first thing my eyes saw when i finally got through to the site.
i cant get over this
So will they be closing the sahara tent Sunday?
There were a lot of bands that made me say OH SHIT....and then DFA 1979 made my jaw fall off.
"Mr. Toad's Wild Aidz."
This is easily my number 1 act for the weekend. This is fucking incredible. If I wasnt planning on going to Coachella before, I would be now. Fuck yes. THANK YOU COACHELLA.
Also, why do you people think DFA 1979 will be in the Sahara. Since when has anything close to sounding like DFA 1979 been in the Sahara. I want these guys to close the Mojave against Kanye West.
$10 says they cover some hectic electro bangers and it blows minds
god if you are there
do not
i repeat do not
let this reunion keep me from seeing the strokes...
Fuck yeah. And I thought I had lost my chance to see them live ...
Can't believe this happened. I thought this was the most ridiculous far off rumor I had heard. excellent.
So does anyone think they have new Material?

Twitter, if you dare
i know its been forever since i wrote anything on here. im sure by now most of you assume the band isnt happening anymore since there are no shows, no work on a new album, etc. well. i wanted to let you know that your assumptions are correct. we decided to stop doing the band... actually we decided that almost a year ago. we finished off our scheduled tour dates because there were good people working for us who relied on us to make a living and buy christmas presents and pay rent etc. we couldnt just cancel everything and leave them out to dry... plus i think we wanted to see if we would reconsider after being out on the road. our label was really hoping that we would change our minds, so they asked us to keep quiet about the decision for at first. well, its been quite awhile now and we are still very sure the band wont happen again, so i guess its time to say something.
we started as a punk band with pop aspirations and we met every goal we set for ourselves. a few weeks ago, the album finally went gold in canada and that was the final mark i really wanted to reach.. it was my goal to see how big we could become without ever compromising or changing what we did right from the start... and now i know. we did way more than i ever expected and i like to think the fans (you?) enjoyed it as much as we did.... watching us sneak our way onto network tv, big festivals and sports arenas... playing music that most people assumed only belonged in basements and dirty rock clubs. we played our first show in a living room on long island for about 12 people and played our last in the calgary saddledome for 12,000. ha! what more could i have ever asked for? ive been in lots of punk bands over the last 15 years and i played every basement, squat, hole and alley from here to eastern europe. dfa79 was the first time i ever really played on a stage, yet i really didnt change what i was doing from what id been doing in the past... hell i was even using the same amplifiers!
i never would have imagined that the wall of noise i love so much could have come this far. to see my silly elephant trunk idea become so popular... im sure its the greatest piece of graphic design ill ever do.
over the last 3 years of touring, sebastien and i had grown apart to such an extent that the only real time we spoke was just before we would play and during interviews. we both changed so much that the people we were by the end of it, probably wouldnt have been friends if they were to meet for the first time again. its a totally normal function of growing up. like how your high school bf/gf that meant so much to you would probably be the last person you would date at 30, ya know? thats where we got to. its not sad.
it would be more sad if we stopped changing and growing and kept playing the same songs for 40 years like the rolling stones. for me that would be a nightmare.
thank you so much for your support from beginning to end. thanks ache records for giving us that first 325 dollars and thanks last gang for taking us the rest of the way. thanks to everyone who came out to our shows, wrote letters just to say hi, baked cakes and made your own t-shirts. i kept everything you gave me. thanks so much to the kids who came really early to see us when were were opening for bigger bands... that meant so much to me.
i hope i have been a positive example and not a bad influence and i really want you to know that when you stop me on the street and i dont know what to say, its not because i dont appreciate you, its just not something ill ever really get used to.
thanks again.

Link to full post with the spreadsheet.
Just to make things clear about the file and datas :
Tools :
- http://www.arenajunk...tle-calculator/ by Starcookies.
- WoW Armory. Only in 3s.
- Gladiator Title requirements
To be sure of the eligibility at the Gladiator Rank, every single team and players had to be checked : not an inactive team, personal rating not under 100 points of the team rating, 20% of the total game played.
I didn't take into account specialisations (not necessary relevant because the armory is not an efficient tool for this) and races aspects.
Conclusions :
- Classes representations : No comments.. that's pretty clear I think !
- Realms and BG : You should have a good visibility of which realms are the most attracitve ones, in PvP, and populated.
- Factions representation : Pretty equal between US and EU. Alliance is dominating a bit in both.
- The average rating to be Gladiator is a bit higher in EU (2554) than in US (2478). This can be explained by the fact that you have more eligible players in EU (440 vs 406 in US).
Keep in mind that ladders are still evolving. This is a state at D-2. But you shouldn't see any big evolution until the season ends.

Okhlos is a game about an angry mob in ancient Greece. You will have to travel all around Greece and conform a very large group of angry people to fight armies, mythological creatures and even the gods themselves! Each stage will have its unique challenges based around the gods they worshipped there. You will have lots of fighting in Sparta, lots of thinking to do in Athens, and lots of partying when facing Dionysius. You get the idea. Also, each unit will have its unique set of skills, making the mob unique each time you play. There will be heroes, warriors, philosophers, slaves, and much more!

hugely iconic bands/artists who are ultimately just a bit shit...
Rolling Stones
Velvet Underground
You really don't have to bother with any of these three. There seems to be this sort of rule that if you don't like them you don't like music, but they're all fucking shite. No songs. None of them really have any songs.
The fact that the Stones were considered by some to be a rival ro the Beatles, and still remain popular just fucking astounds me.
I've got 600 indie points on offer for needy bellends who say the Beatles or the Smiths.

You don't like music mate, deal with it.
i'd just rather listen to, say, the Ramones than the Stones, Bert Jansch than Bowie, The Clean than Velvet Underground.
if that makes me wrong in your eyes, it suggests that the one being judgemental and dismissive here is you, but feel free to carry on.
The point is that it's you who started a thread about stuff you don't like
Rather than a thread about how much you like The Ramones, for instance.Dinohead86 this'd this
so what?
it's the best way to stoke up passionate responses from people on here. once the early dribblers spout their bile, people want to defend their favourites.
But that's absolutely not happening is it?
There's room for everyone's opinions, but I think a lot of us think that when someone thinks that David Bowie, Jagger/Richards and Lou Reed never wrote any decent songs the he's pretty much beyond the reach of reasonable debate.
What would be the point of me listing all the great songs they wrote? If hearing them didn't convince you then me listing them isn't going to the job.
The point is that there is pretty much no way of convincing someone they are wrong if they've heard something and already decided it's 'shit'. It's not s spur to debate because you've started with the conclusion and there is no chance of shifting it.
That's why you're going to get accused of trolling - because you're just trying to provoke people to defend music they are passionate about but you just want to sneer about.forzaborza, JaguarPirate, GrandMoffTarkin, and Antelope this'd this

- sunstroke_house and Antelope this'd this
There could be a decent point in what you've said
Since there is a sort of gold standard for bands/albums which, if challenged, reveals that you are wrong in all things about music. People don't always argue properly against your example opinions, they just assume you're trolling because how could you dislike the stones? (In fairness to them, "they have no songs" isn't the most insightful criticism to refute).
But you completely ruin it with the needy comment about Beatles/Smiths, because that's exactly the kind of thing your railing against in this thread. It's quite common to dislike the smiths anyway, because of Morrissey.
Totally agree with the OP.
Correct again.
A few too many precious crotch-sniffers in this thread for my liking.

pretending to take this thread seriously
people DO lie to themselves over the quality of music, and I think the wilder excesses over the new Bowie album are probably a good example of that, and you're a better person than me if you've never deluded yourself that a record is better than it is. But I just don't see why anyone would be arsed to go out of their way to track down a 40-year-old back catalogue, buy it, maybe buy some books about the artist in question, maybe pay top dollar to see them live when you could, you know, just not bother.
re: new Bowie
but, by the same token, in response to the hype as perpetrated by the 'music press', you then get certain factions of both the 'music press' and folks like us here on this forum, looking to balance the perceived playing field by calling bullshit on the hype, by overtly playing down the quality of whatever record might be in question.
yes, this irks me greatly.
well yeah, a bit
to be fair I'm pretty sure he was heroically attempting to slay YET ANOTHER SACRED COW and suggest that all Bowie's stuff was shit, but yeah, sure, my general point that there can be a bit of distortion with a new record cuts both ways. But like I say, I find it hard to believe that anybody would spend the time, effort effort and money pretending to be a big fan of an old artist with a big back catalogue if they didn't in actual fact really like the music.
still haven't given me those 600 points, chief.
in your own time.
'No songs. None of them really have any songs.'

Got to admit I never really saw all the fuss about VU.
Bowie's got such a big and varied back catalogue I find it hard to believe someone could dismiss all of it.
My main problem with the Stones are their fans, gout-ridden forever-young trainwrecks with nicknames like 'Shagger' propping up the bar at tribute band nights who think the only band making proper music these days is Nickelback.
The first post that I feel compelled to disagree with. He's great.
This is all a bit desperate pal
and quite unseemly.
I just listened to Scary Monsters and Low in full
and couldn't help but think consistently through both of them...

Nothing says Christmas like cookies. So when we heard about a special French-Canadian Christmas cookie recipe that was well over 100 years old, we had to learn more about how it became part of one family's lore.
Annette Labbe, 80, remembers making the cookie with her mother when she was growing up in the French-Canadian community of Girouxville, in northern Alberta. The cookie, called Fantaisie Dore, or Golden Fantasy, has two layers with a sandwich of raspberry jam in between, keeps well (if nobody eats them all first), so it's ideal for making ahead of time at Christmas.
Inspired by the Labbe family's recipe, we sought out other grandmothers who are well-known for their Christmas treats.
Noel Nicolson-Raballo's recipe for shortbread has long been a big seller at bake sales. A simple recipe with only three ingredients, the shortbread reflects what Noel's grandmother, Maude Black, used to say about homemade cookies.
"My grandmother said you should be able to bake out of what you had in your cupboards," recalls Nicolson-Raballo. "You shouldn't have to go out and buy ingredients.
Nicolson-Raballo always uses a special cookie press that leaves the stamp of a thistle on her shortbread.
Makes about four-dozen cookies, or two dozen when they have been stacked
1 cup butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup corn syrup
1 egg
1/3 cup hot water
1 tsp. baking soda
3 1/2 cups flour
Cream butter, brown sugar and eggs together. Add the corn syrup. Heat the water and mix the baking soda in it. Add to the mixture. Start blending in flour. Once flour is blended, roll into one-inch balls. If too soft and sticky, add a little more flour until the dough can be rolled into balls. Press with a cookie shape. (Annette uses a small glass with a cut-glass shape on the bottom.)
Bake at 350 F to 375 F, depending on the heat of your oven, until golden brown, about 8 to 11 minutes. Remove to a rack.
While still hot, put your favourite jam (Annette uses raspberry) on one cookie and press another cookie on top for a lid.
When cool, place in a container with parchment paper between the layers and cover. These cookies are better after the jam has had a chance to sink in for a little while.
1 pound butter
1 cup white sugar
5 cups all-purpose flour
Cream butter and sugar well. Add flour, one cup at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition.
Roll on lightly floured surface to 1/2-inch (1-cm) thickness. Cut into 1-inch squares, or use a cookie cutter if desired. Place on cookie sheet. Prick tops with a fork.
Bake at 275° F until lightly browned. Do not over-brown.

Port Gamble Bay Restoration Project
The Port Gamble Bay Restoration Project is a multi-year, multi-dimensional project. Historical uses and current development pressures have impacted the health of the bay and the ability to harvest environmentally, economically, and culturally important shellfish. Beginning in 2011, this project has involved tribal and community members in producing native species (cockles, oysters, and bull kelp) in order to revive access to marine resources and provide job-training. PSRF's long-term vision is to operate both a shellfish restoration hatchery and a demonstration shellfish farm in Port Gamble to produce native shellfish species for restoration, sustainable aquaculture and ecosystem recovery.
Project Objectives
- Address sources of polluted runoff within the watershed
- Launch community shellfish gardens to grow and harvest clams and oysters
- Produce native shellfish species to restore cultural resources and recover habitat and ecosystem services
- Organize engaging activities to re-connect the community to healthy marine resources and build long-term support for pollution control.
- Conduct a pilot project to restore kelp beds and increase herring spawning in the bay
- Document the project through video to educate and involve the broader community
This project is designed to actively engage all parties in resource recovery in order to lay the groundwork for effective, long-term stewardship. In the case of Port Gamble Bay, development and resource protection don't have to be mutually exclusive. With proactive community outreach and education, strong local government programs, political leadership, it is possible to hold onto healthy resources and approved shellfish growing areas within a developing watershed.
- The Russell Family Foundation
- Baywater, Inc.
- Port Gamble S'Klallam Tribe
- Olympic Property Group
- Suquamish Tribe
- Still Hope Productions
- Taylor Shellfish Farms
- Kitsap Health District
- Plauche & Stock
Resources within Port Gamble Bay and its watersheds have attracted tribal people, settlers, industries, and developers for centuries. Port Gamble Bay is an abundant shellfish, crab, and finfish harvest area, containing approximately 28% of the approved commercial harvest area within Kitsap County. But historic and current uses of the bay and watershed – including the former saw mill, the town of Port Gamble, the Port Gamble S'Klallam Tribal reservation and other developments – have taken their toll. The north shore is prohibited to shellfish harvest due to a sewage treatment plant outfall. The western shore has been closed to shellfish harvesting since 1993 due to contaminants from the former mill. The head of the bay is an unclassified shellfish harvest area due to polluted runoff. And species once abundant within the bay are now sparsely present or no longer available including native oysters and bull kelp, which used to support a tribal herring roe fishery within the bay.
For the tribe, Port Gamble is not just a bay; it's the tribe's ancestral village, and gathering goods in the bay is very important to tribal identity. For the community, resources are also an important part of the local characters. People who eat locally gathered shellfish and have opportunities to stay connect to marine resources are more likely to go the extra mile to reduce pollution from their own properties and support local government programs. Place-based stewardship is what this program aims to develop.


text: I have a 5 month old, and for over a month now nearly every time I nurse her I get a strange creepy crawly sensation! Not terrible enough to make me want to wean, but definitely irritating enough to dread nursing sometimes. I've read that it can happen if you breastfeed while pregnant... But as far as I know (plenty of negative hpts) I'm not pregnant! What else could it be???

Sabah Wildlife Department Honors SOS Rhino with Appreciation Ceremony and Welcomes New Members to the SOS Rhino Borneo Board
SOS Rhino has moved forward on one of its major goals to bring the Borneo rhino back to the front of conservation efforts in Sabah, Malaysia. Two videos of wild rhinos by SOSR rangers in the last year have accentuated the success of these efforts. The following highlights exemplify the progress that has been made:
In line with SOS Rhino's mission to capacitate all local stake holders in wildlife and habitat conservation, we called for the government to continue to spearhead a consortium effort between government and business to save the rhino. Their cause will be saving the rhino as a symbol of their dedication to their natural environment with the hope that the international community will become involved in this coalition.
Keeping up the focus on the rhino locally is an expanded SOS Rhino
Borneo board. SOSRB is a local NGO established in 2003. Its
Sabah-based board of highly skilled qualified and dedicated
conservation leaders offered to advise the Sabah Wildlife Department's
accelerated effort to bring the conservation of the Sumatran
rhinoceros in Borneo to the next level. In the appreciation ceremony,
Sabah Wildlife Department extended their gratitude to the new board
for their assistance.
SOS Rhino Borneo's four new board members bring an increase in local
expertise in the missions of the program such as surveying and
research. They will keep the government, oil palm plantations and
local community around Tabin Wildlife focused on the rhino. SOS Rhino
Borneo will work together with the key relevant government agencies
and NGOs to proactively address their needs in terms of expertise and
We would like to pass the appreciation on to our partners. You have
facilitated a brighter future for the Sumatran rhino in Borneo and we
encourage your further assistance to this dedicated SOSRB board. Thank
you to all.

Brendan Rodgers took the rather strange step of listing the three Liverpool players he believes will let him down this season – although thankfully for those who where the red shirt every week those names remain a mystery.
The peculiar strategy was apparently designed to motivate his players not to disappoint as they look to bounce back from the disappointment of last season under their new manager.
The strange ploy from the Liverpool boss was revealed after a clip from the upcoming episode of Being: Liverpool, to be aired on Channel 5 in the UK this Friday, was released.
In the clip, Rodgers is seen holding three envelopes, each of which he claims contains a name of one Liverpool player who he apparently believes will let the Anfield club down this season.
Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard is shown looking on solemnly as Rodgers explains his concept, before he implores his players to 'not be one of these names'.
The trick was apparently used by Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson back in the 1992/93 season to inspire his players, although it is hard to judge from the Liverpool player's faces whether it had the desired effect.
Ferguson later admitted there were no names in his enevlopes.
The Merseyside club have come in for criticism for allowing the cameras in to capture life behind the scenes, with Liverpool legend Mark Lawrenson insisting iconic manager Bill Shankly would be 'rolling in his grave' because of the cringe-worthy nature of the show.
Rodgers himself has come in for criticism because of some of his idiosyncrasies as a manager, which include hanging a large image of himself in his own front room.
The six-part series focuses heavily on Liverpool's history and heritage, as well as following the storylines of Lucas Leiva's recovery from serious injury and Rodgers' attempts to guide the club back to the top.
Despite the gloss painted over the club by the documentary makers, life at Liverpool under Rodgers has not gone to plan so far.
They have won just one Premier League game this season and have just six points from seven games, while they have won just three games at Anfield in 2012.
To add to their misery, leading striker, who features in the documentary signing a new contract, has been at the centre of a diving storm, with Stoke boss Tony Pulis calling on the FA to ban him for three games following with dive in Liverpool's 0-0 draw with the Potters on Sunday.

Abstract: In the Riemannian geometry of quantum computation, the quantum evolution is described in terms of the special unitary group of n-qubit unitary operators with unit determinant. To elaborate on several aspects of the methodology, the Riemannian curvature, geodesic equation, Jacobi equation, and lifted Jacobi equation on the group manifold are explicitly derived. This is important for investigations of the global characteristics of geodesic paths in the group manifold, and the determination of optimal quantum circuits for carrying out a quantum computation.
Keywords: quantum computing, quantum circuits, quantum complexity, unitary group, differential geometry, Riemannian geometry, curvature, geodesics, Lax equation, Jacobi fields
