hmmmm, I downloaded Skype months ago, and then never did anything with it. I'm the reluctant/forgetful techanerd.

Just a reminder wildclickers extrodinaire ~
Write, call, send faxes, and generally bug the heck outta your reps and congressfolk to stop the billion dollar plus - budget reconciliation bill.

Thanks ya all ~
Morning all, clicked............
Thanks for the link Stradee. It is indicative of the methods our federal representatives have used to screw the public in the name of industrial "progress" (which means the money goes to a select few people) during the entire history of the USA.
Hey we have passed the 48 point TWO acre mark!!!! Way to click team!!!
And that is not the only way we are being screwed by our beloved representatives, either.
Clicked. Oh, er, and morning all.
Oh, and I read an analysis/review of those inexpensive laptops too - very, very good for the bucks.
CLIMATE SCIENCE: Warmer and Drier
---------------------------------------------------------------------------H.
Jesse Smith
One effect that is expected to accompany global warming is the
occurrence
of more intense and more frequent droughts. Although it is known that
protracted drought increases tree mortality, the response of forests on
regional or continental scales to the kind of warmer drought that may
occur
in the future is poorly understood.
Breshears et al. examined the impact of recent drought on pinon pine
trees
in western North America, focusing on the relationships between tree
die-off, temperature, and rainfall. They found that the 2000-2003
drought
was not as dry as the previous one of 1953-1956, but that it occurred
during a warmer period and hence might illustrate drought effects in
the
future. Their analysis shows that the recent drought caused a rapid
regional-scale loss of overstory trees mainly due to infestation by
bark
beetles, outbreaks of which are commonly caused by water stress;
whereas
the 1950s drought affected mainly older trees, the 2000s drought killed
trees of all ages. Similar widespread drought in this century could
cause
large changes in carbon storage and dynamics, in fluxes of near-ground
solar radiation, and in patterns of runoff and erosion, as well as
alter
microclimate feedbacks between the land and atmosphere and reduce the
production of pinon nuts, an important food source for a number of
species
of birds, small mammals, and local people. -- HJS

Yea!! Let's hope things go smoothly.......
New Servers!! Uh, James. A cognac please.
All clicked this morning.....
Gad! I was having A2K withdrawal symptoms all day! Good to be back.
Clicked. I also clicked on the site Stradee provided. There is so much it sometimes becomes almost overwhelming. Almost, not totally.
Glad to have the clickers back!!
Diane, the Reconciliation Bill was tanked because the House didn't have the 218 votes it needed to push the bill through. We can still stop the bill, but it will be tough. What the House will do is rework the language, and attempted deals will be offered individuals - for the 70 billion dollar tax givaway!
I know, politics can cause crosseyedness - but keep the faith!!
And who is Hamster 42?
Fine, clear and crisp autumn morning here in the Carolinas.
Going to click now.
Morn'n all,
clicked..........................
Morn'n sumac,
I think the term Hamster is used here at A2K to denote some regulatory aspect of the site. It's stuff written into the bytes of the program to keep everybody on the straight and narrow.
Anybody else care to explain it? Anybody?
I know about hamsters....just wondered about #42....
