This afternoon I visited the site of a global warming experiment installed (outdoors) in 2006.   The experiment studies plants to determine what species will advance, and what species will recede, as the average temperature increases.  To do this, electric heaters are used to increase in various increments the ambient outside temperature over the plants - sort of like putting a spot light (without the photosynthesis light) on an outside plant to keep it warm.

Cars have taken over (image NYCity)

Cars are King.

We have to have one per person - at least.

Cars are suffocating us.

Cars are killing us.

My car has a heated cup holder and Siri talks to me while I drive.

Here is an image showing the hydraulic over cable winch details at the upper rear of a similar 4 story car rack (similar to the car storage rack in the image above).

A second document is a confidential government memo written in 1979 which appears to reveal Bergoglio informed junta officials that Father Yorio and Father Francisco Jalics were suspected of collaborating with guerrillas and that Jalics was accused of encouraging dissent among a congregation of nuns.

"You see too many instances of ineffective assistance of counsel, too many instances where you think, 'Was this lawyer crazy?'" Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan said at the Justice Department event.

"The federal government does next to nothing to support indigent defense in the United States," Lefstein said.

The time on the Doomsday Clock is five minutes to midnight. So says the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, which created the clock in 1947. Nowhere is it closer to doomsday than on the Korean peninsula, where two nuclear-armed enemies — North Korea and the United States with its South Korean ally — face each other across the tense Demilitarised Zone (DMZ).

In continuing the on-going efforts in preparing the “big one,” Los Angeles County Operational Area (LACOA) and its partners including the 88 cities, 137 unincorporated area communities, 200-plus school and special districts will be holding a “disaster training exercise” on Thursday, March 21 from 9 to 3 p.m.

SALEM, Ore. — More than 10,000 people could die when — not if — a monster earthquake and tsunami occur just off the Pacific Northwest coast, researchers told Oregon legislators Thursday.

Coastal towns would be inundated. Schools, buildings and bridges would collapse, and economic damage could hit $32 billion.

Kathy Wray Coleman's email broadcast brought this to my attention:

An earthquake in upstate New York could be to blame for the mysterious house-shaking boom that residents across Tiverton, Little Compton and Westport reported feeling on Wednesday night.

At approximately 8:40 p.m. on Wednesday, March 13, residents across the region dialed 911 to inform their local police station of a strange, earth-shaking phenomenon. 

Homeowners from Crandall Road in Tiverton down to the Little Compton Commons reported feeling a brief earth-shaking boom.

You can't shield your eyes from the blaring, glaring, pulsing electronic casino advertizing - flashing from all directions over Niagara Falls.   

Both the Canadians and the Americans have trashed the place - Big Time.

The worst is the Seneca Niagara Casino - which should be in Times Square (really, in Hell), not Niagara Falls, New York.

Plym and Enis recently joined a federal lawsuit filed in southern California  against TEPCO brought by fellow sailors who accuse the company of giving out ‘false and misleading information’ about Fukushima while being ‘aware that the potential health risk was greater than its agents were reporting.’

I am appalled to have read someone's post relative to this subject outlining how sick they were of the "negativity" around them....Awwwwww

I'd just like to say this from my ignorant hillbilly perspective....

Men & Women of our nation, stand around the globe 24/7 defending and upholding democracy so you can sit on your lethargic, overweight asses and complain about how your day was disrupted by someone else's reality...which you received as negativity... Get a fricken grip and face the music of someone other than your selfish weasel behind's world.
