Due to the overwhelming response

Pledge week has been extended for a while until donations match the size of the family's appetite for French food.  The donation button is up above. Your credit card will be good even if you have a large balance. What problem would a little bigger balance be for such a good cause?

Not sucking quite as bad

Kodak software still won't load so have to ad lib. This pic was put on the computer with a USB cord rather than the Easyshare docking station (a little more work) and then edited using Picasso. There may be hope yet but it still sucks.

 
Anyone who know was what a 1317x17x100548065x error message means can get a free winestopper by telling TWW how to fix it. (That is error message when TWW tries to load Kodak software).

This sucks day 16 - pledge drive on hold

1. Camera still is not connected. Otherwise TWW would show you a sunny day. 
2. TWW ran a utility program this morning from Kodak to help install software to make the camera work but the program wiped out all sorts of stuff. Carbonite restore was stared but as of 11AM today it will take 36 hours to finish the restore. 
3. If this makes you feel sorry for TWW and you wish to donate please use the donate button below rather than the French button above. 'Sorry but donations are not tax deductible. 

We interrupt pledge week.....this sucks day 15

Yesterday TWW pressed a button on his printer when it did not start printing and somehow messed up his computer. After recovering to an earlier version of the computer the printer now works but the camera connection does not so no more dirty pictures for a while. 

Hillary in 2012

Back in July of last year TWW endorsed Hillary Clinton for 2012 (see link).

The bandwagon is starting. See link

If Hillary Clinton's primary voters and President Obama had their relationship status listed on their Facebook pages, it would change from “Married” to “It's complicated.”

All donations to Garbin Moraine will be used to help feed the hungry bluebirds at the French Dinner as well as human family. (nonhuman family will get the scraps). 

Pledge Week - Day 1

Groan if you want but it is Pledge Week at the Garbin Moraine Foundation.  Don't touch that button to vanish from this site. Please remember all of the worthless information you have gotten from this blog in the past.  This year instead of bowls from the firepit we have a new premium. The family cabin is having a French Dinner in the near future.  You can feed twenty people this year with your donations as all net contributions will go to the special French Dinner Fund.  So please give generously using the safe and secure PayPal button above. See the button for pledge levels. And remember your personal information is safe with GM. 

Will bowl for beer sign pays off

Unfortunately the person donating the beer to TWW's cause also bought a truckload of wood she wants turned into bowls to give as presents to relatives.  This is going to be a real challenge for TWW since he usually only makes bowls for people to use as gifts for people they don't like.

Later in the day on April Fool's Day

Dramatic change in the weather.

Happy April Fool's Day

Thanks for visiting this blog.

This sucks day 6 - scientific fraud?

The 'team' is short for the hockey team (remember the hockey stick?) and their temperature work that claims global warming is all caused by CO2. Part of the post is below. Your tax dollars are funding this research just like BIG OIL pays for the people who are skeptics.  

"Just when you think the bottom of the Hockey Stick rabbit hole has been reached, Steve McIntyre finds yet more evidence of misconduct by the Team.

The research was from Briffa and Osborn (1999) published in Science magazine and purported to show the consistency of the reconstruction of past climate using tree rings with other reconstructions including the Mann Hockey Stick. But the trick was exposed in the Climategate dossier, which also included code segments and datasets.

In the next picture, Steve shows what Briffa and Osborn did – not only did they truncate their reconstruction to hide a steep decline in the late 20th Century but also a substantial early segment from 1402-1550:
