“Every billion dollars invested in wind farms creates some 3,350 jobs — nearly four times the 870 jobs created with a similar investment in coal-fired power plants,” said Earth Policy Institute President Lester Brown.Weatherizing homes is “the most labor-intensive” of energy investments, creating 6,750 jobs per $1 billion, Brown said.

I have something shameful to admit. But it reveals a peek into how the Thought Police operate.
As part of a job/project/thing I worked on (vague enough for you?), I had to write something on the general topic of global warming, for a general audience to read. Well, I decided to emerge from "stealth mode" a little bit and write a very concise but pretty devastating debunking of the whole man-made global warming hysteria, hitting the high points of the various excellent debunkings that have already been published.
Well, a person in a different department (sales), who had reviewed the whole [thing], including my small anti-global warming rant (one of many contributions from me), said that they needed to get celebrity endorsements for [the thing], and one very prominent celebrity said they would give an endorsement -- but one little problem: they didn't like that global warming part. So I was asked if it would be OK if my global warming part was removed from the final product.
Now, even though I actually was higher up the status chain, and had a perfect right to stand my by principles and insist it be kept -- I instead caved in to pressure and allowed them to remove it. I could detect a general sense of relief, because, unbeknownst to me, my stepping out of the PC line had been bothering a lot of people, not just this one celebrity endorser.
And once again, group-think and peer pressure (and business acumen) trumps the truth.

Sorry to burst your balloon, by the U.S. mint long ago removed almost all the copper from pennies, since it was starting to cost more then 1¢ to make each one. Now pennies are basically pot-metal with a thing copper coating. And nickels have a greatly diminished nickel content as well. (And as everybody knows, all silver was removed from US coinage in 1964 [except for half-dollars, which still had a little bit of silver until 1969].)
Nowadays, intrinsically, US coinage has no more actual worth than paper money.

I don't know if hybrids are necessarily all that bad. The idea is sound; use a smaller IC engine than would otherwise be acceptable, and use a generator and batteries to time-shift some of the workload to periods when it would be idling. So you have a small engine running at an average 60% load factor, instead of a big one running from 5% to 90% sporadically. (just pulling numbers out of my a**, but you get the picture).
The battery in a hybrid needn't be very large, since it need only store a few minutes' worth of energy. And most batteries can be 100% recycled, where facilities exist.
What is ignorant is throwing away a perfectly sound conventional car just to have a trendy hybrid. Or owning a hybrid only to be seen in it for status reasons, and also keeping a 528 BMW for real driving.

Mice suspected in deadly cat fire
Mice may be responsible for a blaze that killed nearly 100 cats at an animal shelter near the Canadian city of Toronto, officials say.
The fire at the humane society shelter in Oshawa also killed three dogs and some rats that were up for adoption.
An initial report from the fire marshal says mice or rats chewing through electrical wires in the ceiling are likely to have sparked the blaze.
Offers of help have been pouring in from animal lovers across Canada.
"It's unfortunate and ironic that mice caused the fire that killed the cats," Toronto Humane Society spokesman Ian McConachie told the BBC News website.

Since I'm in a going-out-on-a-limb mode, I might as well speak my mind on this issue too:
Does every thread on LGF have to become a gun-themed thread? It seems that gun-related comments have octupled over the last few months. What's going on? Us non-gun-user-lizards have got to do a lotta scrolling these days.
kinda like how us agnostic lizard feel when the religious (regular & atheist) lizards get going.....
ever been to a range for formal training and instruction in firearms from a trained professional in a structured environment? it might help with some issues, if that's what's holding you back from joining the dark side.
i happen to know that such places exist, even in the Bay Area....

Good (early) morning, lizards!
Tying in to Charles' video link a few threads down, here's the 2002 cover of ''Don't Dream It's Over'' by Sixpence None the Richer -- in my opinion, one of the few examples of a cover that neither falls short of nor transcends the original version; I think they're both outstanding.
Sixpence was primarily known as a "Christian rock" group (the band's name comes from a C.S. Lewis passage) -- the brief appearance of an orphaned baby lamb in the video being a nod to their Christian background without getting pushy about it.
And many of the lyrics lend themselves to a religious interpretation without a single change in wording -- once you've seen the music video with the lamb, it becomes quite easy to imagine the lyrics (or at least some of them) being addressed by Jesus to his followers. Yet you'd never think this based on the radio version, which avoids "appropriating" the song.

Do you know why I'm glad there's so many Bowl games on around Christmastime? No.....it's not because I'm a huge fan of the storied tradition and pageantry that is the Motor City Bowl or Central Michigan football.
It's because I'm pretty sure I'm going to be outnumbered by vapid 0bama worshippers, and mediocre football shall prove to be a welcome diversion and a chance for me to gracefully bow out of this abrupt and rather convenient patriotism displayed by some of his supporters who happen to be blood relatives...

On Thursday, here in Vegas, we had a snow day - after 99% of the snow had melted!
It was so cold in Vegas we had North Pole dancers!
In Vegas, there's a standard stripper move where they suggestively lick a metal pole. That caused a few problems on Wednesday . . .

There's also the matter of the Celtics giving the Lakers the beating they so richly deserve on Christmas Day. Seems kind of contrary to the Christmas spirit to humiliate the Lakers in front of their spoiled, know-nothing, vain, show-up-late/leave-early fans on the day we're supposed to celebrate Jesus' birth, but I'm not the one who made up the schedule.

re: #207 gmsc
You can't post images (except avatars by your name) on this board. Just put the image URL in your post, and LGF will make it clickable!
Better yet:
1) In the LGF comment window, type in a descriptive name for the image, such as:
Here is a picture of a rat playing a tiny violin.
2) Go to the page that is displaying the web address of the image, such as:
http: // i16.photobucket.com / albums/b42/Throbert/rugby%20the%20rat/rugby_tinyvi olin_2.jpg
...and highlight/copy this address.
3) In the LGF comment window, use your mouse to highlight the descriptive name you previously typed in (rat playing a tiny violin), and while the name is still highlighted, click on the "chain links" icon at the top right of the comment window.
4) Clicking on the chain icon will activate a small pop-up window into which you can paste the image address you copied in step (2). Click "okay" after pasting the address -- this turns the entire phrase "rat playing a tiny violin" into a clickable blue link to the image:
Here is a picture of a rat playing a tiny violin.
This is the better way to do it because images found on the web often have non-meaningful or misleading filenames -- such as a machine-generated filename like "gh675435.jpg" (or in this case "rugby_tinyviolin_2.jpg," which sounds as though it might have something to do with Australian-rules football). And if you simply let the LGF hamsters auto-link the image address, other lizards will only see the not-very-helpful "gh675435.jpg" instead of something more descriptive like "Obama caught picking his nose."
So, again: make up a name for the image, highlight that name, click on the chain-link icon, and paste the image address into the pop-up window. Cinchy!

re: #218 littleoldlady
The image has to be in your My Pictures or My Documents file.
No, it doesn't, so far as LGF is concerned.
Perhaps it's too big?
If we're talking about an avatar-icon, then this is most likely the problem. But note that "too big" in this case does not refer to the physical dimensions of the PICTURE (such as 640 x 480 pixels, or 10 x 20 centimeters, or whatever) -- rather, it refers to the memory size of the IMAGE-FILE expressed in kilobytes (Kb). Specifically, you can't upload an avatar icon that is "larger" than 32 Kb.
Use whatever image software you have (i.e. Paint) to make it smaller.
"Make it smaller" meaning, in this context, "reduce the file size to 32 Kb or less." With a .jpg or .png image file, you can decrease the file size without reducing the image dimensions by using a higher degree of file compression. But with a .gif file, you actually have to reduce the image dimensions (say, from 640 x 480 pixels to 320 x 240 pixels), since the .gif format doesn't let you change the amount of file compression.

Close guess, lol-Stepped out to smoke and feed my feral Kitties. I have 3 nine week olds in the the back, and an 8 week old, that comes with mom, out front. Front kid is very spooky, tho I can catch and put him at the food. The back 3 are lapspoiled-and take advantage. Mom got sick and went away, after moving them here at age 3 wks-something she never did b4. So I grabbed the kids up and got them eating canned food and goats milk. Mom returned when well, and we've been sharing the babies since. Kitties and I have an affinity-we are all purrsons, and I feed there needs....LOL.

Heh -- the reality is that I had to snatch the violin away from him immediately after snapping the photo, or else he would've chewed it into splinters! (So a better name for the picture would've been "rat about to eat violin.")
(And although Rugby the Rat has been gone for several years, I still have the violin -- and it's now a Christmas-tree ornament, with the help of some wire and a little hot glue.)

Pietr, let me know if you're still having trouble with the icon. But based on the symptoms you described, I'm pretty sure the problem is that your image file is larger than 32 kilobytes.
(Unfortunately, the LGF hamsters don't give you any sort of helpful message if this is the case -- they simply refuse to upload the file, which is a bit annoying.)

As far as I know, there's no pixel limit at all -- the only restrictions are that (a) the format of the source image must be JPG/JPEG, GIF, or PNG, and (b) the maximum file size is 32 Kb.
Did you double check to make sure that the actual extension on the JPEG file is either .jpg or .jpeg? Some image programs will recognize and open a JPEG even if it has an "invalid" dot-extension, but hamsters are pretty simple-minded.
If none of this helps, you might have to try a little later.

Throbert McGee Sat, Dec 20, 2008 3:43:58am |
Pietr: I just successfully changed my "rainbow elephant" icon to my "holiday cooking" icon (coincidentally, the source file is a 23 Kb JPEG, like yours). So I don't what the problem is.
(Oh, wait -- after choosing the file location on your computer, are you clicking on the "Upload Now" button, or on the "Save Changes" button at the bottom of the screen? If you forget to click the Upload Now button, the Save Changes button will not automatically upload the image. Conversely, once you've clicked Upload Now, there's no need to click the Save Changes button.)

Conversely, once you've clicked Upload Now, there's no need to click the Save Changes button.)
Also, if the icon-upload works properly, the green football avatar in the Icon subsection of the "User Account" page should immediately change to your new icon. In other words, there's no need to exit the User Account page and go to a regular LGF thread page in order to verify that the upload "took." If you're still seeing the default green football, the icon-upload has failed for some reason.

That couldn't be the issue in this case, because once other LGFers refreshed the page on THEIR OWN computers, they'd start seeing Pietr's new icon -- even if HE were still seeing the green football on his un-refreshed page. But I've refreshed the page at my end a couple times already, and Pietr still shows up with a green football for me.

Good morning, Reine. Very early this morning...3:55 to be exact. Aren't vacations for sleeping in late?!

Unless, of course, you have something interesting to do!

Good Morning Lizards-
A warm day here in the South - doesn't feel very Christmas-y but am grateful to have power and safe driving conditions..
A warm day indeed - 66 right now in Baton Rouge - we'll have a high near 80.
Everyone brought out their summer clothes.
And there is no Christmas music at the mall! Don't know why, but if the stores want to sell things, they need to do whatever they can to get people in the spirit - and that means Christmas music!

Hey Wyatt I have a question for ya. Last night we ran an ems call on a young girl. Her mother was going to ride with her in the Ambulance problem was she also had three other boys that were going to be at home by themselves. This happens quite often no big deal. She called her sister but the mom had to leave before sis got there. So we told her we would stay with them until her sister arrived. While we were waiting a police Sargent showed up we were explaining the situation he told us that according to the law an 8 year old can be left alone and even left in charge of younger children. Not including infants or special needs children. Just wondering about other states and what their law might say about ages that children can be left without supervision.

Legally, it's a grey area. In Philly, we'll leave children in the company of an older (responsible) sibling, but it depends on the maturity of said sibling. Barring a responsible guardian or sibling, sometimes we ask a neighbor to house-sit for a while.
Basically, we hesitate to call DHS or some other agency, because the red tape involved is a nightmare.

I heard that too.
But the fact is - accidental or not, who the hell knocks out their kid with chloroform to go partying? Nobody I know.
If you use stuff to "knock out your kid", the death was perhaps not intended, but it was not accidental.

Yeah the cloroform story has been the theory since I want to say trace amounts were found in the trunk while they were investigating the decomp, However in order for residual amounts to have been in hte car that late in the game there must have been fairly large amounts in the trunk. It's a current trend among young mother's to use on their children chloroform which doctor's who trained in its use stopped using due to being unable to properly administer a proper dose without OD'ing the patient. Web tracing on her computer indicated she had visited a website instructing in the manufacture and administration of chloroform.

The break down of the family unit is a huge problem here. Has been for the last 30+ years in the black community. The elders can't control or understand the youth. And it is crossing over to the white community also. The youth of today want everything now and don't understand that you have to work and make sacrifices for the future.

Sunlight Sat, Dec 20, 2008 5:52:51am |
Here's a summary of the attitude that makes me sick to my stomach:
Rice: Violence will hurt Palestinians
Secy Rice says:
"I sincerely hope that there will not be a resumption of the violence because that is not going to help the people of Gaza, it is not going to help the Palestinians, it is not going to help the Palestinian cause," she said.
Notice she doesn't even mention that sending random rockets into civilian areas is a war crime and that the fact that the rocket groups keep doing it and the Palestinian public (according to polls) support it means they are acting like monsters.
The Egyptians say:
Egyptian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hussam Zakkai echoed similar statements on Friday. Zakkai called on Israel and the Palestinians not to let the situation in the Gaza Strip deteriorate into full-blown conflict, as it would negatively affect civilians there."It's up to Israel to be flexible about [opening Gaza] border crossings," he said. "It's up to the Palestinian factions not to escalate their operations, so Gazans won't have to pay the price of confrontations."
The Egyptians don't say that only monsters continue and continue to chuck rockets into civilian areas. And they don't say that Egypt also will not open the crossings from Gaza into their country until the Palestinians stop perpetrating and supporting and allowing the perpetration of war crimes on civilians. When Egypt, et al criticize Israel for keeping the crossings closed, they NEVER bring up the fact that Egypt is also a border neighbor and could easily be the manager of Palestinian humanitarian resupply.
Like I said, literally nauseating to me.

Offsets do nothing to save the environment. It's nothing more than a tithe to someone else making a quick buck.
Carbon credits make do-gooders feel good about themselves.

This entire case pisses me off to no end. At the beginning the grandparents were all about how they had offered to raise Caylee is Casey felt herself unable. Now they are all about protecting the monster that killed their granddaughter.

OT (if possible on an open thread) Oil down below 37 barrel. Ever since Pres Bush removed the drilling restrictions prices plummeted by 75 percent.
Then we had the oil auctions terrorized by an environmentalist who bid up the prices hundreds of thousands of dollars, won thirteen contracts but did not intend to or have the ability to pay for any of these bids. I say frog march him and anyone else, including organizations that planned this with him. This isn't freedom of speech. It was fraud and an economic crime against those intending to bid. The auction will be reheld, but the delay will give time to Obama and the dems to cancel it.

Cause he maintained that it violted the First Amendment. Seems to me that THAT is exactly what the Iraq war vet is saying as well - that Taxpayer money is being funneled via the Fed government to a religious based form of lending of money.

Anybody notice how Obama and Biden are constantly saying how the economy is going to get worse? Nice confidence instilling leadership there, guys. Not exactly like Ronald Reagan saying that the best day of the US are ahead of us.
But here's some good economic news.
The VIX, which is and index measuring market volatility has dropped from a high of 89 in October to 44.94 now. The lower this number is, the less volatile the market is. Normal range would be in the 15 to 20 point area, so it's double what it should be, but this is still an improving situation.

Agreed. And she doesn't look like she aged one bit in her eight years in the White House.
At White House, Obama Links Laura to George W. Bush
After his first visit to the White House Monday to work on the transition process, President-elect Barack Obama attempted to link First Lady Laura Bush with “the failed policies of George W. Bush.”“While she may want the American people to see her as an independent thinker, the fact is that she has supported George Bush every step of the way,” said Mr. Obama. “It’s like the two of them have become one.”
Mr. Obama also accused Barney, the president’s Scottish Terrier, of being “just a partisan lapdog, eating from the hand of George W. Bush, and following him obediently. When George W. Bush gives the command, Barney just rolls over.”
