There comes a time in nearly every series where the side characters of the first two or three novels become so interesting that they take on a life of their own. The readers beg, plead and offer bribes to the author for more information or more "screen time" for their beloved side-character. A lot of times we see this in the form of some short stories or novellas. But if we are lucky (sometimes), we get a full novel with that chosen side character as the main focus.
This was the case with Larry Correia's Monster Hunter series. From the moment the character Earl Harbinger was introduced in MONSTER HUNTER INTERNATIONAL, fans pleaded for Larry to write more about the werewolf. Larry relented, and we have MONSTER HUNTER ALPHA to show for it.
This novel will easily please Correia's legions of fans. So often the danger in writing a full story focused on a side character is that it doesn't feel natural or full developed. More often than not the story feels like a money grab. MONSTER HUNTER ALPHA, fortunately for everyone, never falls prey to those problems. In fact, the novel succeeds at feeling very fresh and different from the previous Monster Hunter stories.
It starts following the events of MONSTER HUNTER VENDETTA with Harbinger deciding to write down his crazy past. So what we have is a series of journal entries describing how Harbinger became the werewolf he is today. The entries ride a fine line of almost overpowering the actual modern-day story without actually managing to do so--yeah, they are completely awesome. The current portion of the story deals with Harbinger being notified that his nemesis (an ex-KGB werewolf) is running around the woods of Michigan. The novel plays out a bit like the isolation horror tale of 30 Days of Night, but using werewolves instead of vampires.
The action of the novel is, of course, extremely well done. There aren't too many people that pull off action in Urban Fantasy as well as Correia does, and he doesn't disappoint here. From the accurate gun-play to the brutal claw-to-claw werewolf battles, it will have you grinning ear-to-ear.
It's mentioned in every review of Correia's novels on this blog, and it will continue to be mentioned until people wise up. Correia doesn't just write mindless action novels. His characters are what keep the readers interested. This side-character story succeeds because Harbinger is a great character with a detailed past. All the other characters of the novel are new, and they all manage to entertain. Deputy Heather Kerkonen is a fantastic new cast member. As usual there won't be any spoilers in this review, but it's worth mentioning that Kerkonen doesn't come off as a copy of the other female characters in the Monster Hunter series. And truthfully some short stories about her adventures would be awesome (probably not a full novel, but a series of connected short stories would totally be great). You'll understand once your read ALPHA.
So were there any issues? Of course. No novel is perfect. The thing is, most of the issues are kinda supposed to be in the novel. This isn't Cormac McCarthy. It's a B-movie monster killing novel with lots of guns. Expect a ton of silly one-liners. Expect over-the-top feats of strength and awesomeness. That's the way Larry Correia writes his novels, and they are more fun for it. Look, if you aren't having fun while reading MONSTER HUNTER ALPHA, you're taking it too seriously. MONSTER HUNTER ALPHA is pure, undiluted fun.
Now, whether or not you like this more or less than the previous Monster Hunter novels will be up to you. Some people really like the main-line Owen Pitt novels. Others will welcome this change of pace. Pretty much everyone is waiting for the Agent Franks novel (soooooooo excited!). To each his (or her) own. Just go buy the freaking book and decide for yourself.
Recommended Age: 17 and up.
Violence: Oh man. This book was brutal. There's a scene with a giant wood-chipper thing that is just messed up.
Language: There is more in this novel than previous ones due to the cast of characters.
Sex: Nope.

john Said,
I really like this series and thought this book was a great take on a side character. I'm now really interested in seeing what he does with Kerkonen and I also want to see the meet up between Pitt and Jason Lococo whom I presume is the one that Pitt beat up in the pit fight that changed his life. Lots of interesting threads started in this book and I'm eager to see where he goes.

perlhaqr Said,
Hunh. Maybe it's just a sign of my lack of introspection at times, but never once while reading MHA did it occur to me that it was "a book about a side character". I mean, ok, it doesn't follow Pitt the way MHI and MHV do, but, it's Earl Harbinger, man! He's the leader of Pitt's team!
At any rate, I thought it was a great book. Lots of fun, and yeah, wow. Snowblower. Yeesh. :DPosted on July 24, 2011 at 10:06 AM
steve poling Said,
Kerkonen? Sounds like a yooper? I take it the werewolves are mixing it up in the upper peninsula of Michigan. A lot of Finnish surnames up there. There's a distinctive character to yooper chicks. I hope Mr. Correia's prose captures it.

This is as great a read as any of the previous books (if not better). There are multiple storylines running in the book between different perspectives and flashbacks. It is never confusing. You won't be disappointed.

South Korea's Hyun Pledges Economic Growth Measures Within Days
Cynthia Kim and Sangwon YoonSouth Korea's president Park Geun Hye appointed Hyun Oh Seok as finance minister, paving the way for stimulus measures within days to boost growth in Asia's fourth-biggest economy.
"We need to use all possible policy measures to speed the economic recovery," Hyun, 62, said in an e-mailed speech after his appointment. "We need to come up with measures to revitalize the economy in March," he said, adding that policy makers need to gain the people's trust.
Pressing on with Hyun's appointment in the face of objections from opposition lawmakers may bring forward measures that Park hopes will spur the economy after growth last year was the weakest since the global financial crisis. Challenges include a stagnant property market, an aging population, and weakness in the yen that aids export competitors in Japan.
"Hyun becoming finance chief is likely to speed up preparation for a stimulus package, given that Hyun shares the view that a policy boost is needed," said Kim Hyeon Wook, an economist at SK Research Institute who has worked under Hyun.
The Kospi Index fell 0.1 percent today as Cyprus struggled to avoid a financial collapse. Park reappointed Defense Minister Kim Kwan Jin. Her preferred nominee for defense chief, Kim Byung Kwan, withdrew his candidacy, the Chosun Ilbo newspaper reported earlier.
Stimulus Expectations
Hyun was president of the state research center Korea Development Institute, which was founded by Park's father, former dictator Park Chung Hee. He has a Ph.D. in economics from the University of Pennsylvania and previously worked at the World Bank, as well as South Korea's finance ministry.
The government may announce a supplementary budget of 10 trillion won ($8.9 billion) on March 26, Yonhap News reported this week, without saying where it got the information. Choi Sang Mok, a director general at the finance ministry, said no decision had been made.
Delays in filling the finance minister slot have been costly because consumers and companies are delaying spending until they see the new government's stance, said Kong Dong Rak, a fixed-income analyst at Hanwha Investment & Securities Co. in Seoul. "It's a great loss to our economy to have the economic-policy control tower empty for nearly a month," Kong said.
South Korean officials aim to get the nation closer to a potential growth rate estimated by central bank Governor Kim Choong Soo at 3.8 percent, after last year's 2 percent expansion was the weakest since 2009.
"Hyun will need to announce at least 20 trillion won of supplementary spending to achieve growth of about 3 percent this year," Lee Chul Hee, chief economist at Tongyang Securities Inc. said by phone in Seoul.

Former Test star Jason Gillespie believes pace spearheads Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood will become the greatest fast bowling combination Australia has ever produced.
Gillespie, touted as a potential successor to current Test coach Darren Lehmann, said their performance in the recent series defeat to South Africa was a rare bright spot.
They finished as the first and third-highest wicket takers with Hazlewood grabbing 17 at an average of 22 and Starc 14 wickets at 30.
The duo have now played 17 Tests together since Hazlewood's debut two years ago and have taken 161 wickets alongside each other.
"Starc and Hazlewood, without doubt, will be the best fast bowling combination Australia has ever produced," Gillespie, also seen a possible replacement for Rod Marsh as chairman of selectors, told cricket.Com.Au Thursday.
"They'll stay fit, they'll stay healthy, they're learning their trade all the time, they complement each other very well.
"Starc (is a) really fast, aggressive, nose-and-toes attacking option who can swing the ball late at pace.
"And then you've got Hazlewood who is an aggressive bowler but in a different way. He's aggressive with his relentless line and length, he's very disciplined."
For his prediction to come true, they will have to surpass some of the greats of the game, including Gillespie who teamed up with Glenn McGrath to take 484 wickets between them in 58 Tests across a 10-year period.
Other great partnerships included Merv Hughes and Craig McDermott and Dennis Lillee and Jeff Thomson.
"In many years' time when we're reflecting on great Australian cricketers, those two (Starc and Hazlewood) will be right up there," said Gillespie, now back in Australia after a hugely successful five-year spell coaching English county Yorkshire.

Causes to Know About
Innovate for Good: [8] This annual project from the Rose Community Foundation asks for projects ideas that answer the question: "What idea could you bring to life to empower youth to make your community better?" From community events to new technology, they received almost 400 submissions in 2015. Nine winners were selected to share a $250,000 grant to help bring their concepts to fruition. Submission deadline for the 2016 grant is May 31; click here [8] to learn more.
Here are two of Innovate for Good's 2015 winners, who are currently building or implementing their community projects:
Fresh Food Connect App [9]: Groundwork Denver [10] is making a new app that uses technology to help eliminate food waste. The app will connect gardeners with extra produce to youth who will pick up the fruits and veggies, and then donate or sell them at farm stands that accept both food stamps and cash. The app will be ready for use in the 80205 zip code this month, with additional areas launching next season. The mission addresses the lack of access to healthy food, youth unemployment, and food waste.
Creative Youth Take Flight-La Alma Connection [11]: This project hopes to improve traffic during Santa Fe's First Friday with creative placemaking ideas from teenagers and young adults. The plan is to integrate art and community activities that encourage First Friday attendees to use alternative transportation. At this point, Art Street [12]'s La Alma Connection has hosted 10 creative workshops—that cover everything from urban design to 3-D digital modeling—to help prepare students for their master plan. "Problem solving is the most important skill we teach at every level," said Arts Street executive director Stella Yu. "Together with cognitive learning and collaboration through teamwork, youth at Arts Street apply their natural creative talents, and find that they can fly if they want to."

Save Your Vision Week, 2009
From Wikisource
Administration of Barack H. Obama, 2009
Proclamation 8348—Save Your Vision Week, 2009
February 27, 2009
By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation
- Blindness and visual impairment affect millions of Americans. Early diagnosis and timely treatment are critical to minimize vision loss from eye diseases as well as vision loss that is correctable with eye glasses or contact lenses. During Save Your Vision Week, I encourage all Americans to take action to protect their vision.
- Unfortunately, most people have limited knowledge of blinding eye disorders. In a 2005 study by the National Eye Institute, part of the National Institutes of Health, only eight percent of respondents knew that glaucoma, a condition that can damage the optic nerve and cause vision loss and blindness, strikes without early warning. Similarly, only 11 percent knew that diabetic eye disease also begins as a silent vision threat.
- Several demographic groups are at higher risk for visual impairment, including teenagers, diabetics, Hispanics, African Americans, and the economically disadvantaged. Older Americans are more susceptible to eye conditions such as age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and glaucoma. Children need regular vision screenings because vision disorders left untreated during childhood can lead to permanent visual impairment during adulthood.
- Still, eye disease knows no bounds, and every American should take steps to protect his or her eyesight. Doctors recommend seeking routine eye examinations, maintaining a healthy diet, wearing sunglasses to protect the eyes from damaging ultraviolet rays, and using protective eyewear in hazardous environments. The National Eye Institute's website, www.nei.nih.gov, provides resources for learning more about common vision conditions and information on finding an eye health professional. By being proactive and seeking out information, Americans can do their part to prevent or reduce vision loss.
- To remind Americans about the importance of safeguarding their eyesight, the Congress, by joint resolution approved December 30, 1963, as amended (77 Stat. 629; ), has authorized and requested the President to proclaim the first week in March of each year as "Save Your Vision Week."
- Now, Therefore, I, Barack Obama, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim March 1 through March 7, 2009, as Save Your Vision Week. During this time, I invite eye care professionals, teachers, members of the media, and all organizations dedicated to preserving eyesight to join in activities that will raise awareness of vision diseases and disorders.
- In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-seventh day of February, in the year of our Lord two thousand nine, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirty-third.
[Filed with the Office of the Federal Register, 8:45 a.m., March 4, 2009]

Lori C. Booker, APR, CEO/Founder
Lori Booker has a habit of surprising people. When you meet the diminutive blonde, it's easy to underestimate the powerhouse she packs when she steps up to the microphones to address a live national news conference. Clients turn to her in times of significant crises, looking to her to navigate them through media and community relations nightmares and mitigate negative impacts on their businesses.
"What clients admire most about Lori is her ability to assess any crisis situation quickly and develop a strategy to protect their interests," said longtime colleague and former newspaper reporter Robert Perez. "She's able to do that because of her decades of experience counseling Fortune 50 clients and growing her own company. It's impressive to watch her in action. What's more, she has earned the respect of reporters worldwide. They know they can count on her for honesty, integrity and accuracy. In our arena, that's a home run every day."
Booker founded CBR Public Relations in 1984, which she describes as "first and foremost a media relations company." She went on to earn both statewide and national accreditation for her expertise, a distinction awarded to less than 3% of her peers. She also studied at the Harvard-MIT Public Disputes Resolution program and did post-grad work at Columbia University. She is most proud of being the first public relations graduate of Rollins College, where she helped found the student FPRA chapter while serving as an adjunct professor.
Whether directing her company from the 6,000-square-foot lake-view office building she owns in Maitland or from CBR's offices in the Imperial Plaza Building in Melbourne, Booker is always near water. Not surprisingly, her favorite pastimes are slalom waterskiing and exploring the Spoil Islands near Ft. Pierce. "I get some of my best inspirations there."

Ok now for somewhere to use this Ivy details. First of homemade then we have some bought terrain coming up, so some In The Box to look forward to.
Some material:
Packing styrofoam
Plastic card
Popsicles sticks
Lollipop stick
Paper clip
Ballpoint pen
A highlighter with suitable cap
You probably need some cutting device
for the plastic card and lollipop stick etc but you'll figure that out later on.
So the method I've used to texture the tower is rather simple. You take the cap that preferably is somewhat brick shaped and push it in to the styrofoam then you fill in the imprint so it becomes more defined and permanent, it's not the inc you want. You want to break the surface layer of the styrofoam and widen the imprint that the dull cap probably won't manage.
Then do this to the entire tower.
I got a bit carried away an forgot both to take pictures of the inside and before I painted it. I'll try to make an sketch how the inside looks.
So the inside of the two blocks is hollowed out in triangular chunks overlapping the other side making the dice fall back and forth. Then I glued them together with some white glue and some toothpicks added like pinning. Put it in between pressure for a good long drying. Then grabbed just any kind of acrylic paint. One black and one white mixed a dark grey and then just added a bit more white for each layer.
The ugly hole was in the styrofoam from the begging and so deep I couldn't fix it but will cover it with a little shed.
The output will ad a wooden door.
The input will add an wooden platform so it can have troops act as a watchtower.
Shed. Cardboard roof, plastic card for ironworks and paperclip for hinges.
The base for the platform will add a a removable wall/boarder that goes around the platform. and the door for the hole where the dice comes out. with working hinges.
Leans a bit forward but that gets corrected by the base.
From above.
Failed attempt to stain the door. The superglue prevented the diluted paint to be absorbed. But you can see the added bolts/nails. I cut the blunt tip of some needles (not the kind with eyes). Then took my scalpel/ exacto knife put the point in and rotated so it carved out a little "dent" where the needle head fits perfectly.
To be continued....

Are We Witnessing The Death Of Privacy?
While the death of privacy may seem like a far-fetched concept, particularly in the United States, it really is an idea that we should be paying attention to. To be perfectly honest, it was an idea that even I dismissed … Continue reading

Be Quiet! Dark Rock Pro
Be Quiet!

We've already looked at Be Quiet!'s first CPU cooler, the
Black Rock Advanced
, and found it lived up to its maker's name by being very quiet while still delivering excellent cooling performance. However, its performance was still a little way off that of the dual-fan, high-airflow
Thermaltake Frio
. The Dark Rock Pro is Be Quiet!'s shot at the very top of the air-cooling market, aiming to offer exceptional cooling with the same whisper-quiet noise levels of the Advanced.
In order to compete with other monstrous super-coolers, Be Quiet! has chosen to use two fans, each with a stack of cooling fins, making the cooler very large and heavy. Weighing in at 1,178g and measuring 165mm from the CPU contact plate to its top, the Black Rock Pro may struggle to fit in some cases. With a depth of 147mm, it dominates any build.
Click to enlarge
The cooler's CPU contact plate is made from nickel-plated copper, finished to a smooth mirror shine, and it's topped by an aluminium mounting block onto which the cooler's various socket brackets are screwed. Through the base run seven U-shaped, nickel-plated copper heatpipes. The fit around the heatpipes is very tight, with no visible gaps in the CPU contact block; the general build quality of the cooler's contact plate is superb.
After emerging from either side of the contact plate, the heatpipes then splay out before turning 90 degrees upwards and running through the Black Rock Pro's two banks of black-burnished aluminium fins. Each stack comprises 44 fins, with each fin measuring roughly 132 x 40mm. This means that the Dark Rock Pro has a gigantic approximate surface area of 90m from which to dissipate heat.
Rather than leaving the sealed ends of the heatpipes exposed, Be Quiet! has topped the cooler with an attractive brushed aluminium plate, with the tops of the heatpipes covered with individual metal caps. This certainly makes the cooler look very imposing when installed.
Click to enlarge
With two fin stacks, Be Quiet! has taken the opportunity to use two of its excellent 120mm SilentWings PWM cooling fans, arranged in a push-pull configuration. The fans are pre-fitted to the cooler via high-tension mounting wires, sparing you the trouble of fitting them yourself, but they can be replaced with any 25mm-thick, 120mm fan you like. The exterior 120mm fan will probably project over your memory sockets, though, so it could clash with tall memory modules, although there's plenty of room for standard-sized DIMMs.
The cooler makes use of a multi-socket backplate for mounting, with screws threaded through from the backside of the motherboard and into the interchangeable brackets that are screwed onto the cooler's aluminium base. This is a pretty unintuitive method, as it involves threading the screws through the backplate and motherboard, adding rubber washers to prevent the screws from falling out, flipping the motherboard to fit the cooler into place, and then flipping the board again to fasten the screws. As a result, there were more than a few expletives being uttered during mounting, when screw threads failed to line up with holes or when rubber washers fell off.
Despite the tricky mounting system, at least you don't have to then attach the two fans, which come pre-fitted. Also, the cooler is very securely attached to the motherboard and CPU, and evenly distributes pressure across the CPU. The mounting process is similar regardless of whether you fit the cooler to an AMD Socket AM3 or Intel LGA1155 motherboard, with the only difference being the use of the appropriate mounting bracket holes.

The role of head of the Civil Service is to be split into three parts, it was announced yesterday, after the Cabinet Secretary, Sir Gus O'Donnell, confirmed he would retire at the end of the year.
His job will be divided between his replacement as Cabinet Secretary, Jeremy Heywood, and two new jobs as head of the Home Civil Service and Permanent Secretary, Cabinet Office. Downing Street said the splitting of Sir Gus's role was an acknowledgement of how much it had grown in recent years and also as a result of the new Coalition Government.
Front runners for that job will include Dame Helen Ghosh, Permanent Secretary at the Home Office. She is regarded as a highly competent leader of one of the most notoriously "difficult" departments in Whitehall. Also in the frame will be Sir Suma Chakrabarti at the Justice Department and Sir Nicholas Macpherson at the Treasury.
Mr Heywood will be responsible for advising both David Cameron and Nick Clegg.
Mr Heywood, a previous permanent secretary at No 10, has long been the front runner for Sir Gus's job. He was lured back to government from the private sector to take up the role and is highly regarded by Mr Cameron and Mr Clegg.
Mr Cameron paid tribute to Sir Gus as "the outstanding civil servant of his generation". "His support during the formation of the Coalition Government, and in ensuring the smooth and effective running of Cabinet government since I took office, has been invaluable," he said.
Sir Gus, 58, stands down after 32 years as a civil servant and will become a life peer.

Alexander Hamilton
Carved entirely of granite, this larger-than-life-size statue was donated to Central Park in 1880 by the eminent statesman's son, John C. Hamilton. Sculpted by American artist Carl H. Conrads, it depicts him in Colonial-era clothing.
One of the nation's Founding Fathers and co-author of the Federalist Papers, Alexander Hamilton was one of the distinguished residents of the neighborhood that eventually became known as Hamilton Heights. In 1800, he began construction in Harlem on his country home – an estate known as the Grange. Fatally wounded in a duel with political rival Aaron Burr in 1804, he was buried in Lower Manhattan's Trinity Church cemetery.

850122 and D27TG-45-06 help?
I've tried several crossovers using these two drivers in a .5 cubic ft rear vented box. I always end up with a bright and forward sounding speaker when using xovers that model well on paper. Things end up very detailed (good thing), just too unnatural sounding (bad thing). Believe it or not, the xover I've liked the best was a 1st order .47mh on woofer and 6 uf cap on the tweeter with a 7 db l-pad on the the tweeter. It sounded fat and full of life with laid-back vocals and highs while maintaining most of the detail. However at mid to high volumes things got nasty sounding. I'm assuming this is mostly due to a struggling tweeter. Any advice would be a great help. Please feel free to post or email me directly.

Even using a 1st order the tweeter should not be struggling as it has a very low Fs. 7dB on the L-pad sounds too much and should require about 4dB IMO.
When calculating the xo values use the actual impedance at the crossover frequency and not the nominal value. A measured impedance is best if you have the measuring gear but the manufacturers graph would give a better value than the nominal and a good starting point. For example, 1st order at 3000Hz xo, the tweeter is 5.3ohm and the woofer is 12.6ohm from the manufacturers graphs which would give 10uF on the tweeter and 0.67mH on the woofer. You could search around for xo's for the same drivers and try that. If you can't find any try an assymetrical crossover with a 1st order on the woofer at 3000Hz and a 2nd order on the tweeter at 3400Hz as these usually work well IMO. A quick calc gives approx Woofer 1st order: 0.66mH Tweeter 2nd order: 4.4uF + 0.5mH (LR) or 6.2uF + 0.35mH (BW) But with all crossovers, 5% calculation, 95% testing and fine tuning. Have fun and if you're game can always try a series xo. |

Could try a lower attenuation on the tweeter (as suggested above) and creating a trap to lower the resonance of the tweeter at it's fundamental resonance ( L-c-r in parallel to the tweeter). This should clean up the problem with the sound distorting at higher levels.

This was and is a noble undertaking and I hope it helps to unite those Anglican coming out of ECUSA/TEC (and "coming off of" the 1979 Book of Whatever) with those Anglicans currently using the 1928 and 1662 Books of Common Prayer in the traditional language.

When will this be available for on-line purchase. I would very much like to review this for my blog, Hills of the North.

Lately, there's been a lot of DIY projects going on at my home. Mostly because we recently got an industrial balls-to-the-wall Kitchen Aid stand mixer. I'm told it can hold 14 cups of flour. Whoa. We introduced it to our home by making Julia Child's challah. And then there's pickled grapes and green garlic, pickled radishes and pickled turmeric (yes!). The Kombucha (used to scare away any squeamish visitor). I also planted a few seeds to grow edamame, although it's turning out to be more finicky than anticipated. And hopefully some wildflowers will be growing shortly.
Now, I understand that DIY experiments are inherently risky. And that's okay in our house. In fact, it is preferred. But the other day, while sprouting, something happened with our latest DIY project that has left all of us baffled. Including the Doctor! We used broccoli seeds to sprout a large batch, gave it some sunlight, harvested the sprouts and collected a hand full of sprout tails that got disconnected. We put it in the fridge to store, but, within a few hours, the tails that were formerly a delicate white color had turned blue. BLUE.
It was kind of like when garlic turns blue when its sulfur compounds meet something that has a trace amount of copper (water, butter, lemon juice, vinegar) and forms copper sulfate. It's very strange. After some research, I learned that broccoli sprouts have a large amount of sulforaphane. So there must be traces of copper in our tap water. I learned something today.
Very interesting, Watson.

The Utah House is in session; get popcorn
22 comments:
Apparently, you haven't been reading the e-mails leaked from the East Anglia research center in which the scientists debated why they can't show a rise in global warming for the last 15 years (a fact publicly confirmed by one of their scientists, Phil Jones, in the last few days).
Nor have you seen the article that the claim in the IPCC report that the Himalayan glaciers will disappear by 2035 was unsubstantiated by the science.
It's also easy to miss the report that NASA dropped 3,000 buoys into the ocean to measure warming that turned out not to be there. It was only reported on NPR. In 2008.
The point, however, is not to harsh on your opinion. It's SOP among journalists. It's to point out that, once people applied some critical thinking skills to the reports and what data has managed to come out, the worse the case for global warming (oops, now it's called "climate change," as if up until this point, climate hasn't changed at all).
In other words, the science is being "self-correcting" right before your eyes. You're just not seeing it yet.- Virginia MerchánFebruary 16, 2010 at 11:22 AM
Oh, John... you've asked us to keep a civil tongue, so I'll remain silent, because only dirty words come to my mind after reading the comments above. I'm afraid I should have gotten some popcorn before I read them.
BTW... I also believe scientists are scientists, and YES, you did make it clear. I loved Diane's last comment before signing off. She basically told her guest that his opinions were not shared by most scientists...and, by implication...that they were not shared by her. Gutsy lady. I fail to understand why there is so much defensiveness on the part of those who reject climate change information. It is as if they owned the climate regulation system and were being challenged personally. It has been my pleasure to be present when recognized scientists have acknowledged the facts of climate change...and of its direct relationship to human excess. What more do I need?
ReplyDeleteScience is self correcting, when left to scientists. But when politicians on either side try to start passing laws based on unproven and disputed science, when scientists try to muzzle other scientists, and when political organizations try to manipulate science, then it's open season.
When Gore shuts up, the politicians in Utah will probably shut up.- traceychenFebruary 16, 2010 at 1:32 PM
Dear Mr. Peschel,
You seem to be assuming that Mr. McIntyre's opinion is that global warming exists. That may or may not be true, but I do not see it stated, or even implied, in what he has said here. I believe the opinion he is sharing here is about non-scientists legislating based on what they proclaim to be scientifically true.
You also seem to be accusing him of not seeing self-correction in science, which is odd, because I see that he has explicitly made the point that science is self-correcting (by its very nature/definition).
Whether or not our atmosphere is heating up, I think Mr. McIntyre is very wise to avoid rushing to his own conclusion on the matter (before science has), as, unfortunately, the legislators in Utah have.
Also, on an editing matter, your sentence starting "It's to point out..." seems to be incomplete. However, I don't know if it's possible to edit comments once they have been posted, and I think that your point came across anyway.
I certainly hope our planet is not warming up, because I don't want my house to be under water. An exchange from Facebook:
Gary Kirchherr: I too believe statehouses need newspapers' scrutiny, but not because the one it Utah has its doubts about global-warming "science." There are myriad scientists, not just nonscientists, who are skeptical about the self-serving conclusions of this science, , and comparing its critics to flat-earthers is beneath you, John.
My reply: Well, Mr. Kirchherr, the Utah House resolution has no force in law and even less in science. Its foundation is an unsupported asstertion of the existence of a vast conspiracy. Your mention of skepticism among scientists acknowledges dispute at a scientific level that the Utah House is not competent to resolve. With respect, I don't think that it is beneath my dignity to identify demagogy when it is so manifestly apparent.Readers of this post should not imagine that I believe looniness to be a monopoly of the right. (Well, it might be in Utah; I don't know the state well enough to say.) For balance, here's an article in which the Atlanta Progressive News states that it sacked a reporter because he believes in objective reality.
ReplyDeleteI think a lot of climate change skeptics miss the point, the environmentally friendly laws and changes being made should not only be about lowering carbon, but they should be about creating a more sustainable society. I think any scientist would be hard pressed to argue that the current consumption of humans can be sustained indefinitely. So by extension the climate change laws are at least heading in the right direction, reducing the impact that people have on the planet.

It's too bad Utah's so Mormon. I was hoping they'd refute all the smoking science so there would be someplace I could buy an affordable pack of cigarettes.
ReplyDelete - Paul R. BareFebruary 16, 2010 at 11:14 PM
I don't know about you, but I'm sweating this warming thing.
ReplyDelete Might you remind your readers that "listening to Rush" is not the same thing as "developing critical thinking skills"?
Phil Jones didn't "publicly confirm" that there had been no global warming over the past 15 years. He said the trend wasn't significant at the 95% confidence level (though it was close). Read the interview at the BBC, rather than the distortions that began in the Daily Mail.
That's the latest in a series of deliberate lies on this issue. Collect them all -- but don't take them seriously.- Patricia the TerseFebruary 20, 2010 at 12:54 AM
Since none of us is a scientist who has studied the planet long enough to form a conclusion, I think the rest of us should belt up on the subject. As for Diane Rehm, I can not bear the woman or her voice.
ReplyDelete But soft, good Patricia. There might indeed be no climate scientists here, but there might be any number of people who know the difference between 'none' and 'nearly significant at p=.05'.
With respect to the poster of the third comment above, that's an important difference between talking about science, which is one of the things a well-informed press is supposed to help the decision-making public with, and lying about science, which is the practice at the Murdoch properties.- AnonymousFebruary 26, 2010 at 10:19 PM
It gets even better. According to The New Republic, the South Dakota House of Representatives just passed the following:
"NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the House of Representatives of the Eighty-fifth Legislature of the State of South Dakota, the Senate concurring therein, that the South Dakota Legislature urges that instruction in the public schools relating to global warming include the following:
(1) That global warming is a scientific theory rather than a proven fact;
(2) That there are a variety of climatological, meteorological, astrological, thermological, cosmological, and ecological dynamics that can effect [sic] world weather phenomena and that the significance and interrelativity of these factors is largely speculative; and
(3) That the debate on global warming has subsumed political and philosophical viewpoints which have complicated and prejudiced the scientific investigation of global warming phenomena"
As TNR notes, there are apparently "astrological" and "thermological" factors. It makes you wonder whether some closet liberal legislative intern drafted this thing.

Five and a half pounds of three kinds of apples go inside a flaky, buttery pate-brisee crust to make one showstopping pie.
Makes one 9-inch pie
- Ingredients
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling
- Deep-Dish Pate Brisee or store bought pie crust, dividied into two pieces, one larger for covering the pie.
- 5 1/2 pounds firm tart apples (about 14), such as Empire or Granny Smith
- Juice of 2 lemons
- 1 cup sugar, plus more for sprinkling
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 3 tablespoons chilled unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out a smaller piece of pate brisee into a 15-inch round about 1/8-inch thick, dusting surface with flour to prevent sticking, as needed. Brush off excess flour. Roll dough around rolling pin, and place over a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate. Line plate with dough, pressing it into the corners. Trim dough to within 1 inch of the pie plate. Cover with plastic wrap; refrigerate. 2. Roll out remaining piece of dough into an 18-inch round. Transfer round to a baking sheet; cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate. 3. Peel and core apples, and cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Place slices in a large bowl; sprinkle with lemon juice to prevent discoloration. In a small bowl, combine flour, sugar, and cinnamon; toss with apple slices. 4. Remove remaining dough from refrigerator; place apple mixture in prepared pie plate, mounding it in a tall pile. Dot apples with butter. Place dough round over apples. Tuck edge of top dough between edge of bottom dough and rim of pan. Using your fingers, gently press both layers of dough along the edge to seal, and crimp as desired. 5. Using a paring knife, cut several vents in top of dough to allow steam to escape. In a small bowl, whisk together egg yolk with 2 tablespoons water to make a glaze. Brush surface with egg glaze; sprinkle with sugar. Place on a baking sheet (this will catch any juices that may overflow during baking). Bake until crust is golden, about 15 minutes. 6. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees and continue baking until crust is golden brown and juices are bubbling, 45 to 50 minutes. Remove from oven, and let cool completely before serving.

I have a friend that loves pear notes. If there is a fragrance with a pear note, Donna will absolutely love it. I've been that way with blackberry notes and recently I'm coming around to apple notes. Is there a gourmand trend afoot?
Nina isn't a new fragrance (it's been out since 2006), but it is definitely one of my favorite gourmands. It is a sweet apple-citrus blend that doesn't come across as too sweet. Initially I get a blast of lemon-lime, though after about 10 minutes they settle down a bit and the Apple starts to come out. It is easily identified as the Vanilla-infused Red Toffee Apple note, though it isn't too sweet. The lemon-lime is still there to keep it in check somewhat, and I really love this stage of the fragrance.
Top Notes: Calabrian Lemon, Caipirinha Lime
Middle Notes: Peony Petals, Moonflower, Vanilla-infused Red Toffee Apple
Base Notes: Applewood, White Cedar
Finally, about 30-40 minutes after applying, the fragrance settles in to what it will be for the "long haul", as the peony comes out and the apple fades back a bit. As much as I love the apple, I do think that being "all apple all the time" would be a bit too much. I prefer when it shares the stage a bit with the peony, while there is still a little bit of the lemon-lime around to keep the vanilla and the apple from being too sweet.
This is a fun and playful fragrance that is perfect for the summer! I can see myself spritzing this on to go wander around Art Fair, to head outside with my daughter to play, or just for running errands. I might not wear it to work since it is a bit too strong for the hospital, though if I worked in an office it would be just fine.

I don't know if I'd really want a "gourmand" perfume. Doesn't gourmand imply overeating? On the other hand, maybe it would inspire whomever I was with to take me out for dinner!
I love comments! Please ask away, provide info on how you liked something, etc. Note that spam, comments with random links (which I count as spam), anything not in english (again, spam) and comments that are completely unrelated to anything will all be deleted.

About Mendocino
If you're looking for a picture perfect northern California vacation destination that your whole family can enjoy, plan a trip to Mendocino. Nestled between the majestic California mountains, redwood forests, and endless strips of pristine sand broken by rocky tide pools teeming with life, Mendocino is a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts and beach lovers. Come here for glassy blue waves and winding trails with spectacular ocean overlooks.
Start your adventures by waking up in your own luxury vacation rental or mountain cabin. Enjoy breakfast on your terrace and then head into town for shopping and strolling among Mendocino's many art galleries and museums. Spend the afternoon on the beach snorkeling, swimming, or soaking up the sun. Go biking or jogging along the mountain trails, and if you don't plan to enjoy a night of Mendocino camping under the stars, head home to your vacation rental as the sun sets over the Pacific and host dinner for your family and friends.
Here are a few additional suggested activities for your trip:
- Go horseback riding: Ranches, just outside of the city center, offer guided trail rides through the hills or along the beach.
- Go whale watching: Mendocino is a wonderful place to charter a boat and head away from the shore to see grey whales, minkes, or humpbacks.
- Explore the Mendocino gardens: Mendocino is home to several beautifully maintained botanical gardens with native exotic species blooming during almost every season of the year.
- Relax in the spa: The Mendocino spa experience is not to be missed. Spend an afternoon wrapped in seaweed or enjoying a world-class massage.
- Take a dinner cruise: Raise a glass and experience award winning cuisine on the deck of a luxury sailboat. This is the perfect way to watch the sunset.
- Visit the Point Cabrillo Lighthouse: Climb to the top of this historic lighthouse that used to guide ships to safety.
You'll have no trouble finding the perfect vacation rental in Mendocino just a few steps away from the beach or the mountain trails. The right vacation home can offer all the luxury amenities that you and your family need to relax in style. While you're visiting Mendocino, you may also want to explore a few other California vacation destinations like San Francisco or Sonoma.

2009 Wyoming Elk Hunt
A friend and I went on our first guided elk hunt in October of 2009. Horseback and primative camp proved to be quite enjoyable and successful. The vistas were absolutely breathtaking. After three days of hunting snow covered mountains, we both harvested bulls within 20 minutes. Thanks to a knowledgable and capable guide, we had an experience that will be long remembered.
Great Pictures, Looks like

At age 17 she performed as Little Miss Sharecropper. Her 1955–65 tenure with Atlantic Records yielded 15 rhythm-and-blues hits, most notably "Tweedle Dee" (1955), "Jim Dandy" (1957), and "I Cried a Tear" (1959).

At a recent Bay Area food blogger a la minute get-together at Pim's house to assemble the tiny hand-written tickets for the Menu of Hope raffle luckily and deliciously placed me at the right table at the right time.
Brett of In Praise of Sardines had the baking itch and scratched it with an incredible Brown Butter Hazelnut Cake from Suzanne Goin's new cookbook, Sunday Suppers at Lucques. I immediately purchased said book and set to making this opulent gem in my own kitchen.
The funny thing was, it came out completely different.
Perhaps because when I read the recipe, I realized it was no regular cake. The Brown Butter Hazelnut Cake's roots are in dacquoise. Traditionally, dacquoise is defined as nut meringue. These edible architectural details can usually be found demurely hiding in between layers of buttercream as they start out crunchy but softly melt into a layer of sweet nutty unctuousness.
Easy on paper, the meringue (French, Swiss or Italian) is a component which can frustrate even the most seasoned baker. When recipes rely on egg whites or meringue as their main leavener, the workings and instructions of the recipe are very important. Few cookbooks can afford to take the time to explain thoroughly what I am about to here.
In the following step-by step photographs, I hope to answer some of the many questions people ask me about meringue and the recipes which are built on/around them. The hints and advice outlined here can be applied to mousse, buttercream, angel food cake, tortes, semifreddo, molten chocolate cake, quenelles, Pavlova and many more.
When making meringue, we start with room temperature whites. This is because egg whites are pure protein and we want to coax them into doing what we desire them to do. Just as we would not put a very cold piece of meat in a very hot pan. Because a meringue is built, not merely made, we don't rush. They must be completely free of yolks and the bowl they are cracked into needs to be intensely clean. We create a meringue with patience and thoughtful watchfulness. One egg white can quadruple in size and become all the structure a strong protein will, if it feels respectfully cajoled. This is the same idea as kneading bread to activate gluten. Gluten is the protein in flour which gives bread structure.
We start with the freshest eggs. The younger the hen, the stronger the egg white.
The best way to make a meringue is with a stand mixer. Because unlike you or a hand-held mixer it can aerate better, with more force more evenly. Start on the slowest speed and over time increase your speed incrementally. Never stop the mixer in the middle of making the meringue. Like taking a horse across a river, stopping midway will break the momentum and you and horse will be taken down the river by the strong current.
The above photo shows "trails" made by the whisk, notice that the whites have started to become shiny. In the case of a French meringue, we would add the sugar now, a little at a time, so as not to overwhelm and demolish the cloud-like body of the egg whites. This is why superfine sugar (aka baker's sugar or bartender's sugar) is recommended for meringue or baked goods with fine crumb.
Never add anything to the meringue before you have created some body. (Even though the instructions in this recipe say differently.) Otherwise, as with whipped cream, you will weigh down the liquid and it will not fluff properly.
In this recipe you have three mixtures to contend with. One bowl of drys: confectioners sugar blended with nuts and a scant amount of flour, liquid brown butter, and your strong but fragile meringue. Because these mixtures are completely disparate and threaten to cancel each other out, it is of utmost importance that they be added together carefully, gently and intentionally.
In another small bowl on the side, use a whisk to mix a small amount of the meringue with some brown butter. As when making a vinaigrette, you want to fool two ingredients that would normally repel each other into melding together. You are creating an emulsion ( = liason) here so that blending the larger quantities will be an easier, more accepted transition between all parties.
With a wide malleable spatula this mixture gets scraped into the larger body of meringue with another splash of brown butter. Turn the bowl so as to push the spatula down to the bottom middle of the bowl and fold layers under-over. A few strokes before it's uniform, sprinkle about a cup of drys over the entire surface of the young batter. With a few streaks of drys still visible, repeat with brown butter and drys just until batter is uniform.
With dacquoise this dry-wet pattern should be gentle and careful but not excessive. Overmixing, although it looks and feels impossible to do so, may eradicate all those tiny little air bubbles which you worked so patiently to build.
In the microscope of your imagination what you are creating is a very thin fine coating of sugar around the millions of tiny egg white bubbles. This is what creates the crispy crunchy meringue.
This particular recipe is very high in fat not only because of the quantity of the brown butter, but also because of the state it comes in. Liquid. When we use the "creaming method" as in the average American cake or chocolate chip cookie, we rely on the fact that a stick of butter is not pure fat. It has water and milk solids that are perfectly homogenized into the butterfat. But when we brown butter we are "clarifying" it — meaning that the water evaporates and the solids crystallize.
Making dacquoise, like mousse, is about the tenuous balance of fat and that which binds it. These emulsions are very precarious. Your final mixture may look "broken" but do not fear! Meringue does not kiss and tell. If you get it perfect it's like the basketball whooshing into the basket with no one to see.
Deeply satisfying.

Submit A Pilot
Make the first episode of any kind of show you want, no longer than 5 minutes. Do not strive to fill 5 minutes. It can be five seconds long. 5 minutes is the absolute maximum.
Here are some things that DON'T tend to work. No rule against them, but just so you know, these things never get into the show:
- Five minutes of your recently taped live improv show, shot from the back of a black box theatre, entitled "[name of troupe] TV" or "The [name of troupe] Show."
- A five minute ...movie trailer...for your TV show? I don't get it. "In a world...?" Come on, man. Think about it.
- Thirteen five minute excerpts from your cable access show. With your big long enclosed letter about which episode we're supposed to show the second month, after you get picked up.
- The five minute cut of your old-ass, HACK-ass, LONG-ass SHORT FILM, entitled "[name of short film] episode 1" or "The [name of director/lead character] files: episode 1: [name of short film]." If you do not know the difference between a short DV film and a five minute DV pilot, here is the most crucial one: If they were holding remotes, would the audience be likely to flip around during your submission? If yes, you have submitted a short film.
Your show has to have some kind of title that will be seen on screen. You don't necessarily have to create an elaborate title sequence, but your show has to have a name, and the people watching it have to know what that name is, because they'll have a ballot sheet in front of them.
Recently, Channel 101 became an HD event. But just because the screening is in HD, does not mean you have to submit an HD show. You have a few options. You can still submit a Mini DV tape. If you are going to submit on DVD, please submit TWO different DVDs - a playable DVD for the panel meeting to watch, and a data DVD with your uncompressed file. Whatever the tech specs of your show, if it gets in, it will be converted for the screening. Channel 101 will be using Apple ProRes HQ Quicktime for the final output (1080P timeline, 16:9 native, 29.97). The screening is in native 16:9, so if you want to preserve a 4:3 for your show, it will be nested it into a 16:9 timeline with black bars on the sides.
Label your DVD or tape - not just the case, the actual DVD or tape, with the following information:
- Your name
- The title of your show
- Your email address
Mail to this address by the deadline:
P.O. Box 29400
Los Angeles, CA 90029-0400
Do not give us the only existing copy of your work. Do not expect your DVD or tape back.
We will email you to let you know if your work will be shown at the next screening. If it is, the audience will vote on whether or not you should make a second episode. If you get enough votes, your video will be in the Prime Time section of this site the morning after the screening. If you don't get enough votes, it will be in the Failed Pilots section. Prime Timers get a few extra days on their deadline for the next month, but will be subjected to the same scrutiny as all the new pilots. Sooner or later, your show will be cancelled by the audience, at which point it will go into Cancelled Shows.
All legal rights to your material remain with you. If we decide to screen your show, we are simply showing it to a small audience of fellow artists and curious onlookers, then posting it on this web site, with full credit given to you. Nobody is paying or taking money to see your work.
We reserve the right to reject any submission for whatever reason we see fit. The best way to increase your shot at some screen time is by making something that's going to make the screenings enjoyable. Make it move, make something happen, keep it short.
And the most important guideline of all: Do this for yourself. Entertain yourself. If you try to figure out how to please other people, you'll usually fail to do just that. Good luck and have fun.

The Case Against Reason
There are 34 comments on the Slate Magazine story from Jun 7, 2013, titled The Case Against Reason. In it, Slate Magazine reports that:
When Richard Dawkins was named the world's "Top Thinker" in a poll recently published by Prospect magazine , it was hard to avoid the suspicion that the world - or at least that part of it that votes in such polls - must have an impoverished sense of what constitutes a vital or transformative intellectual figure.

Jun 18, 2013
Google it, duh. It's a lot faster than waiting around for someone to post it for you because you're too lazy to look it up for yourself. I googled "bible says birds have four legs" and all the links showed me the scripture you're looking for. Since it's obvious you have the internet, make use of it if you really want to know something. Obviously, you don't really want to know where the scripture is, you just want us to feed it to you so you can spit back some sort of explanation of what the bible 'meant,' rather than what was actually written. Apparently, god considers wings to be legs, and god also doesn't count some insect legs to be actual legs. If my god didn't know the difference between wings and legs, and legs and legs, I'd stop worshiping the idiot. I'm no genius, but I know that wings aren't legs, so I guess that makes me a little smarter than your god. You should worship me instead, lol! |

"Quantum Junctn: Use Both Lanes" Since: Dec 06 86,312 Tulsa, Oklahoma USofA |
Jun 21, 2013
I am old enough to remember "discrete" electronics-- individual transistors, resistors and capacitors. And you are correct about those-- mostly it was packaging (usually epoxy resin or plastic) the actual working bits being either quite thin (resistors) or very tiny (transistors were mostly packaging to make them easier to handle). But these days? With super-large scale integration? Take your typical micro computer processor: the "working" part is literally the size of a small person's little fingernail in area, and not even that thick. The rest is packaging, again. But in that CPU is millions of components. That used to be individually wired. So closely packed are modern electronics, that the #1 engineering issue is one of overheating. The second one being the speed-of-light issues with length of conductors. Interesting stuff. |

What is worse? Is that your typical atheist likely knows the verse already. But your typical True Christian does not. They only know a short list of a few, selected favorites. Classic Salad Bar Christian. ;) |

When I actually started to look up verses that atheists had thrown at me for years...I was appalled! I couldn't believe that I had spent my entire life believing the things that I did and never questioning. It's amazing the amount of conditioning that goes into the youth of a church (any church). We were trained to only know certain responses, and I did like most people do and never actually read the bible in it's entirety. I still have yet to do it, but I am becoming more and more inspired to, simply because I want to dive into the fiction of it as just a book lol. I also want to be able to attempt to show people the insanity of it all. I may never change someone's mind, but I'm certainly glad that my boyfriend has been around for the two years that I have been finding the truth. He's always been there to kindly tell me where my thinking has been trashed over the years. It has really helped. |

Introducing the Reva Front which is one of the most environmentally friendly handle bar bags out there. This bag is manufactured from recycled PET bottles, so if you purchase this product you are doing your bit to cut down the production of harmful plastics and pushing forward the recycling process. As well as being environmentally friendly the Reva front is also ridiculously helpful. With organised pockets in the main compartment, you can keep your smaller belongings in order and in easy to reach places. A padded lid pocket is ideal for keeping your phone or Mp3 player safe from getting smashed or chipped. If you get caught out in the rain there is a raincover, which is located in the bag, to keep your belongings dry and safe. From the Materials to the colours, the Reva front really does stand out from the crowd.

Love it. :)
Your expression makes the photo. Love it!
One of my favorite things on JoCoCruiseCrazy was our Informal Moustache Formal, organized by the (now dead to me) Paul F. Not Coming On the Cruise Because I Got a "Job" that "Pays Me" and "Furthers My Career" Tompkins. During the Informal Formal, Kevin Murphy loaned me this most exquisite fez,...
AWESOME. Thank you! :)
Yes, a completely weird scene choice for an ornament, but that's part of what makes it so hilarious.
Shopping sucks, so some of us do what we must ... because we can.
Wow, those spots bring back some memories!
You can see the man in the teenager, that's for sure. Wil, you're just adorable. I can see how it could ache a bit to revisit oneself at that age - I'm forever grateful there's no such video of me! I always thought you were one of the coolest TV kids ever and now you're one of the coolest TV people of any age.
When I was a dorky teenager, I was sort of thrust into the spotlight by Stand By Me and Star Trek. I've written before about how weird the whole thing was, and how uncomfortable a lot of the attention made me, but it wasn't all bad; I got to do some cool things, and meet some cool people as a re...
A reading outside PAX would be, wait for it, awesome! I've been envious of the west-coasters who get to go to your beer & reading events. Pretty please do one in Boston?
I just realized that I mentioned this on Twitter over a week ago, and it's been on a lot of the gaming sites, but I never actually carved out a little hunk of blog-o-state to mention... I am giving the inaugural keynote address to PAX East in Boston on March 26th. I've been working on my keynot...
jj had me at pegg. but like many of you, i'll withhold judgement until the film is out. i WANT to believe.
i've enjoyed seeing publicity photos of quinto and nimoy together. the casting makes surprising (to me) sense, side by side.
Wired says that JJ Abrams promises to "reinvent" Star Trek: "Effects for Star Trek have never, ever been done like this," says Abrams, who credits George Lucas' Industrial Light and Magic for the visual fireworks. Abrams was fanatical about Star Wars as a kid. But Star Trek? Not so much. Di...
