Just remember kids, never question the church when they tell you that two gays in a loving relationship is horrible, but child molesters in the clergy is OK. Oh, and according to Rick Santorum, we should outsource our sense of right and wrong to these creeps.

Example of why the UNFCCC will never really do anything about climate change - they forgot to invite the scientists:

Climate Change panel chief says ‘not invited to COP18’

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) will not be attending the upcoming United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP18/CMP8) in Doha, chairman Dr Rajendra K Pachauri has said.

“For the first time in the 18 years of COP, the IPCC will not be attending, because we have not been invited,” he told Gulf Times in Doha.

Gattis to resign from school board to chair House Education Committee

Lynn Gattis, the incoming state representative from greater Wasilla, will serve as chair of the House Education Committee when the Legislature convenes in Juneau.

Gattis, a Republican, says she favors school vouchers. She said she backs equal time in the classroom for creationism and evolution. And she’s open to the idea of regional schools for rural areas.

The effort to rehabilitate the legacy of Mitt Romney, the value of which totally escapes me, continues:

Obama, Romney both up in Gallup poll

Americans give a higher favorable rating to both President Barack Obama and Republican nominee Mitt Romney, a post-election USA Today/Gallup poll indicated.

Any idea on who's behind this effort to continue to push Mitt Romney into our mind space, and not only give him space but to make him look better?

Probably branding 101. The GOP wants to sell the story that Mitt was a perfectly reasonable candidate who happened to lose.

The reality that Mitt was a loser from a loser party with lousy positions on every available issue needs to be forgotten.

Of course, this strategy won't work unless Mitt shuts up...

I still have a small hole in my hedge where the burglars crawled through. No way to really seal it off but it'll grow back in the spring. Until then I'm dumping the cat litter boxes there. It won't keep anyone out but at least I'll have the satisfaction of making them crawl through cat shit.

From the article:

Gattis, a Republican, says she favors school vouchers. She said she backs equal time in the classroom for creationism and evolution. And she’s open to the idea of regional schools for rural areas.

Gattis has served on the Mat-Su School Board since 2010, but said that she plans to resign from the board in mid-January.
Originally, Gattis told other school board members she hoped to remain on the school board even if elected. It's legal in Alaska to serve on local boards while serving in the Legislature.
But, Gattis said, she decided over the weekend to resign from the board after she learned of her appointment as Education chair; a plum position in the Legislature for an incoming freshman.

A Creationist as education chair. You go, Alaska GOP.

Killgore is building the moat to enclose a medium-sized area a good ways from his home. He's going to use the area enclosed by his alligator moat as the Killgore Trout Hippy Detention Facility for the Prevention of Rapey-Stabby.

Offers still stands. Even if you don't hook them up, just having them there provides a deterrence.

Chicken wire suture. The hedge will grow around and through it.

Motion activated lights are the best idea though.

The reality of war is indeed hard to bear, but just focusing on the casualties isn't viable. Given the violent determination to murder Israelis of Hamas, innocents will die no matter what course Israel takes. Sadly, the question is which innocents will die and how many of them will die.

I'm actually thinking of that. It's not really a big deal but I don't like people snooping around my back garden and looking in my windows at night. I don't think flood lights are much of a deterrent, blaring sirens outside will annoy neighbors, internal alarms will annoy me. If I can manage to figure out a good system for motion activated sprinklers I think that's the option I prefer.

Bored, looking around the 'net

They are, especially when combined with digicams.

Understood. But you might want to look at something like this.

Having a blatant in your face security system might put the neighbors off at first, but once you explain to them that it also helps keeps them safe as well goes a long way towards alleviating any concerns

I also have a very big dog. I would weigh him but I can't get him on the scale. Most intruders don't want to mess with anyone at home, security systems, lights, sprinklers, or anything else.

The dog's 19 yr. old owner and best pal is coming home from his first semester away at college tonight. I have put all breakable items in a safe place. It will be quite a scene.

I'll keep it in mind if I need to upgrade in the future but I've been talking to people and thinking about the psychology of the situation. The break in was a reasonably professional affair, not just some dumb kids or crazy homeless person passing by. Someone put some thought into it, probably assuming by greenhouse was a pot growing operation. For now I've actually trimmed back all my tomato plants so if someone does look into the greenhouse they can see all the way in and realize there's nothing there for them unless they have a sever fenugreek fetish.
I think going overboard with obvious surveillance cameras, flood lights, alligator filled moats will just encourage them to think there's tons of drugs and cash on premises with someone who might not call police. If I have a serious home invasion I'm fucked. For now I want just enough warning time to run down the street naked screaming like a girl if things get serious. I don't want to encourage people to think there's anything here worth stealing.

I'd rather talk food, but it looks like war is the subject du jour. Going upstairs.
