Charles Watson-Wentworth, 2nd Marquess of Rockingham, KG, PC (13 May 1730 – 1 July 1782), styled The Hon. Charles Watson-Wentworth before 1733, Viscount Higham between 1733 and 1746, Earl of Malton between 1746 and 1750 and The Marquess of Rockingham in 1750, was a British Whig statesman, most notable for his two terms as Prime Minister of Great Britain. He became the patron of many Whigs, known as the Rockingham Whigs, and served as a leading Whig grandee. He served in only two high offices during his lifetime (Prime Minister and Leader of the House of Lords), but was nonetheless very influential during his one and a half years of service.

Early life: 1730–1751[edit]
A descendant of the 1st Earl of Strafford, Lord Rockingham was brought up at the family home of Wentworth Woodhouse near Rotherham in South Yorkshire. He was educated at the Westminster School.[2] During the Jacobite rising of 1745 Rockingham's father made him a colonel and organised volunteers to defend the country against the "Young Pretender".[3] Rockingham's sister Mary wrote to him from London, saying the King "did not doubt but that you was as good a colonel as he has in his army" and his other sister Charlotte wrote that "you have gained immortal honour and I have every day the satisfaction of hearing twenty handsome things said of the Blues and their Collonel".[4] The march of the Jacobite army into northern England caused the Wentworth household to flee to Doncaster and Rockingham rode from Wentworth to Carlisle to join the Duke of Cumberland in pursuit of the "Young Pretender". Rockingham did this without parental consent and Cumberland wrote to Rockingham's father, saying that his "zeal on this occasion shows the same principles fix't that you yourself have given such strong proofs of".[4] Rockingham wrote to his father that Cumberland "blamed me for my disobedience, yet as I came with a design of saving my King and country...it greatly palliated my offence".[4] Rockingham's mother wrote to his father: "Though I hope you won't tell it him, never any thing met with such general applause, in short he is the hero of these times, and his Majesty talks of this young Subject, in such terms, as must please you to hear...in the Drawing Room[5] no two people talk together, but he makes part of the discourse".[6]
In April 1746 Rockingham's father was made a marquis (remaining the only marquis in the British peerage for quite some time) and Rockingham himself assumed the courtesy title of Earl of Malton. These honours came about due to the patronage of Henry Pelham.[6] At this time Rockingham was travelling across Europe under the tutorship of George Quarme, as his father had decided against sending him to Cambridge.[7] During his stay in Rome Rockingham noted that amongst Englishmen Whigs outnumbered Jacobites four-to-one and there were "no Persons of rank about the Pretender" and that "the vile spirit of Jacobitism" was greatly declining.[8] When in Herrenhausen, Hanover Rockingham met George II and made an impression: the King told Rockingham's uncle Henry Finch that he had never seen a finer or a more promising youth.[9] In September 1750, two months before his father's death, he was raised to the Peerage of Ireland in his own right as Baron Malton and Earl Malton.
Early political career: 1751–65[edit]
On 13 May 1751 (his twenty-first birthday) Rockingham inherited his father's estates. The rents from the land in Yorkshire, Northamptonshire and Ireland gave him an annual income of £20,000. He also controlled both of the borough parliamentary seats of Malton and one seat for the single-member borough of Higham Ferrers (Northants), along with twenty-three livings and five chaplaincies in the church.[10] In July he was appointed Lord Lieutenant and custos rotulorum of the West Riding in Yorkshire, Lord Lieutenant of York city, and custos rotulorum of York city and county. In 1751–52 Rockingham joined White's, the Jockey Club and the Royal Society.[10]
Rockingham's maiden speech was on 17 March 1752 in support of the Bill which disposed of Scottish lands confiscated in the aftermath of the Jacobite rising of 1745. He wanted the lands cultivated by people "employed in husbandry & handicrafts" who repudiated "plunder, rapine & rebellion". He said "the highlanders have remained in their ancient state, prolific, bold, idle, & consequently hives of rebellion". He compared his favoured policy with the policy which his ancestor Lord Strafford had used in Ireland. Rockingham's speech was not well received, with Horace Walpole criticising him for venturing into "a debate so much above his force".[11] Rockingham's uncle William Murray, the Solicitor-General, believed him to be poorly educated so he employed Quarme as Rockingham's tutor again. Rockingham was for four months to study Demosthenes for oratory, to learn the histories of the Assyrian, Persian, Greek and Roman empires along with modern history. Murray wanted Rockingham to take after Sir Walter Raleigh.[11]
In 1752 Rockingham was appointed Lord of the Bedchamber to George II and married Mary Bright.[12] In 1753 the Rockingham Club was formed, containing the first Rockingham Whigs. Rockingham hired James Stuart[disambiguation needed] to paint portraits of William III and George II for the club rooms. The club held monthly meetings and a list written in June 1754 showed it had 133 members.[13] In 1755 the King appointed him to the honorary office of Vice Admiral of the North.[14] During a French invasion scare in 1756 Rockingham raised a volunteer militia at his own expense and when rioting broke out against Army enlistments Rockingham restored order without the use of military force in Sheffield. The Secretary at War, Lord Barrington, wrote to him: "You are the only instance of a Lord lieutenant's exerting the civil authority upon these occasions".[14] Rockingham asked in 1760 to be made a knight of the Order of the Garter and the King consented.
In 1760 George II died and his grandson ascended the throne as George III. Rockingham was allied to the Duke of Newcastle and his supporters, whilst the new King had a favourite in Lord Bute. Rockingham believed that Bute and his supporters wanted to take "the whole Administration & Government of this country into their hands" and wanted Newcastle to resign now before he would be inevitably disposed of. Rockingham believed that the revolution in British politics since George III's accession was harmful to the country, since it removed the Whigs from their ascendancy which had settled the constitution and secured the House of Hanover on the British throne. Rockingham wrote to Newcastle:
...without flattery to your Grace, I must look and ever shall upon you and your connections as the solid foundations on which every good which has happened to this country since the [Glorious] Revolution, have been erected. ... What a medley of government is probably soon to take place & when it does what an alarm will ensue![15]
Rockingham resigned as Lord of the Bedchamber on 3 November 1762 in protest at the King's policies and other Whigs associated with the Duke of Newcastle did the same.[16] The next month the King removed Rockingham from the office of Lord Lieutenant of the West Riding, Lord Lieutenant of the city and county of York, as custos rotulorum of the North and West Riding, as custos rotulorum of the city and county of York and as Vice Admiral of York city and county.[17]
Over the next several years, Rockingham gradually became the leader of those of Newcastle's supporters who were unwilling to reconcile themselves to the premierships of Bute and his successor, George Grenville.
Prime Minister: 1765–1766[edit]
The king's dislike, as well as Grenville's general lack of parliamentary support, led to his dismissal in 1765, and, following negotiations conducted through the medium of the king's uncle, the Duke of Cumberland, Lord Rockingham was appointed Prime Minister.[18] Rockingham recovered the honours of which he had been deprived in 1762. Rockingham appointed his allies Henry Seymour Conway and the Duke of Grafton as secretaries of state. Also at this time, Edmund Burke, the Irish statesman and philosopher, became his private secretary and would remain a lifelong friend, political ally and advisor until Rockingham's premature death in 1782.
Rockingham's administration was dominated by the American issue. Rockingham wished for repeal of the Stamp Act 1765 and won a Commons vote on the repeal resolution by 275 to 167 in 1766.[19] However Rockingham also passed the Declaratory Act, which asserted that the British Parliament had the right to legislate for the American colonies in all cases whatsoever.
However, internal dissent within the cabinet led to his resignation and the appointment of Lord Chatham as Prime Minister (the Duke of Grafton was appointed First Lord of the Treasury, one of the few cases in which those two offices were separate).
Opposition: 1766–1782[edit]
Rockingham spent the next sixteen years in opposition. He was a keen supporter of constitutional rights for colonists.
Rockingham wrote to Edmund Burke on 14 February 1771: "I fear indeed the future struggles of the people in defence of their Constitutional Rights will grow weaker and weaker. It is much too probable that the power and influence of the Crown will increase rapidly. We live at the period when for the first time since the Revolution, the power and influence of the Crown is held out, as the main and chief and only support of Government. If we...do not exert now, we may accelerate the abject state to which the Constitution may be reduced".[20] Rockingham wrote to Augustus Keppel on 3 November 1779, saying that he believed the war against America could not be won, that the government was corrupt but not unpopular, and that the longer this continued the greater the danger to the liberties and the constitution of Britain: "Perhaps a total change of men and measures, & system in the Government: of this country might have effect on the councils of some foreign countries...who might think that it was no longer a Court system to combat, but that the whole nation wd; united & make the utmost efforts".[21]
Rockingham was recruited to hunt down the Cragg Vale Coiners. He had thirty Coiners arrested by Christmas Day 1769.
Prime Minister: 1782[edit]
In 1782 he was appointed Prime Minister for a second time (with Charles James Fox and Lord Shelburne as Secretaries of State) and, upon taking office, pushed for an acknowledgement of the independence of the United States, initiating an end to British involvement in the American War of Independence.
Due to rising unemployment, in this second premiership, Rockingham's administration saw the passage of Gilbert's Act, the Relief of the Poor Act 1782, after 17 years of opposing Thomas Gilbert's ideas, this saw the creation of unions of civil parishes, later officially called unions under Gilbert's Act, to provide outdoor relief and set up workhouses.[22]
Paul Langford has claimed that the Rockingham administration "represented a landmark in constitutional history. The ministerial changes of 1782 involved a more extensive upheaval among office-holders than any since 1714, virtually replacing one administration with another drawn from opposition".[23]
Rockingham's second term was short-lived, for Lord Rockingham died fourteen weeks later at the beginning of July from an Influenza epidemic. He was replaced as Prime Minister by Lord Shelburne, who was more reluctant to accept the total independence of America and proposed a form of Dominion status, however by April 1783 succeeded in securing peace with America and this feat remains his legacy.[24]
Rockingham was buried in York Minster in Yorkshire.[25]
Rockingham's estates, but not his marquisate, passed to his nephew William Fitzwilliam, 4th Earl Fitzwilliam. Burke wrote to him on 3 July 1782: "You are Lord Rockingham in every thing. ... I have no doubt that you will take it in good part, that his old friends, who were attached to him by every tie of affection, and of principle, and among others myself, should look to you, and should not think it an act of forwardness and intrusion to offer you their services".[26] On 7 July 150 supporters of Rockingham met at Fitzwilliam's house and decided to withdraw support for Lord Shelburne's administration. The old Rockingham party fragmented, with Fox and the Duke of Portland leading a coalition of Whigs. The Whig party further split over the French Revolution, with Burke writing to Fitzwilliam on 4 January 1797: "As to our old friends, they are so many individuals, not a jot more separated from your Lordship, than they are from one another. There is no mutual affection, communication, or concert between them".[27]
The Whig historian Thomas Babington Macaulay was an admirer of Rockingham and his Whig faction:
They were men worthy to have charged by the side of Hampden at Chalgrove, or to have exchanged the last embrace with Russell on the scaffold in Lincoln's Inn Fields. They carried into politics the same high principles of virtue which regulated their private dealings, nor would they stoop to promote even the noblest and most salutary ends by means which honour and probity condemn. Such men were Lord John Cavendish, Sir George Savile, and others whom we hold in honour as the second founders of the Whig party, as the restorers of its pristine health and energy after half a century of degeneracy. The chief of this respectable band was the Marquess of Rockingham, a man of splendid fortune, excellent sense, and stainless character. He was indeed nervous to such a degree that, to the very close of his life, he never rose without great reluctance and embarrassment to address the House of Lords. But, though not a great orator, he had in a high degree some of the qualities of a statesman. He chose his friends well; and he had, in an extraordinary degree, the art of attaching them to him by ties of the most honourable kind. The cheerful fidelity with which they adhered to him through many years of almost hopeless opposition was less admirable than the disinterestedness and delicacy which they showed when he rose to power.[28]

Take care
The run-around (thanks to fine hosts and drivers)
To leave Hogsback I had to get up at 5.30 am. I won't bore you with the details but it took me almost 6 hours to cover less than 40 km - Hogsback to Alice, Alice to Fort Beaufort. Due to no transportation other than public, or, black taxis, that just wouldn't fill up.
After spending 2 hours waiting in the last - uncomfortably hot by now - I decided enough is enough. I had seen a guy in a car parked next to the mini-van, just sitting there and wondered if he was a private driver. He was. So how much would it cost to take me to Grahamstown? Not that it really mattered at this point. 'Let's go,' I said and off we sped. I mean, he drove like crazy, disregarding all warning signs and speed limits. Maybe I should have, but I wasn't complaining, I just wanted to get somewhere, anywhere, fast.
He got flagged down by police hiding in the bushes. 'Oh shit, now he's in deep trouble,' I thought but what followed was Xhosa handshakes, jokes and laughter, and macho high fives as we hit the road again.
What happened? 'Those are my colleagues,' he explained, 'I am really a policeman.'
Huh? But you are driving a taxi. No, it's not a taxi but if he could make an extra rand, why not? Why not indeed, someone told me that anyone with a car is also a taxi driver here. And policemen are very badly paid so, well, yes......
I suppose I could have done worse but it still felt odd.
Anyway, I spent 3 nights in Grahamstown. As the backpackers was fully booked after the first night, they kindly offered to put me up in the owner's house across the road if I didn't mind sleeping on the floor. I couldn't care less, and a very nice place it was, though it took me 30 minutes to get past all the locks every time I came or went.
A quick run through my time at Grahamstown. Several visits to the Rat and Parrot, a famous students hang out, good food and music, and since Jock has taken up lecturing again, he likes to socialize with the students. He seemed quite popular and obviously enjoys their company. So did I, bright minds and excited conversations. Theirs, I mean, I was my usual timid self.
We went to the tennis club twice, a different kind of socializing, more food and wine, and the pleasure of Jock's brother Duncan's company, who is also known as Jock, as is a third brother. Don't ask.
Of course Jock had some education in mind for me too. I was taken to a lecture on the intended fracking (such an odd word), in the Karoo. Most interesting and the concerns are very real. Because of the involvement of Shell Jock hoped I might take it upon me to organize some kind of protest in Holland, give the queen a good talking to, but I'm afraid he'll have to make do with a bumper sticker again.
Sunday we went for a walk, or rather, a talk, high up in the mountains, drinking wine, enjoying the view. Later on there was another students' thing, the Green Race, a sponsored walk for the environment, people dressed up in funny clothes, a friendly event. Grahamstown, was as pleasant as I remembered, there's a lot going on there and Jock and Kary are very much part of it.
Thanks for sharing it with me:)
Without having much say in the matter, which was fine as I had no plans for the next days, or the next, I was bundled off to Graaff-Reinet, where I am now, in the Karoo.
Someone gave me a lift, there is no other way of getting here really, and I find myself at Peter's place. He is related to the Jocks, and lives alone in a spacious house at the bottom of the mountains. He takes very good care of me and drives me around, which is marvelous as you are stuck without a car.
Yesterday we went to the Camdeboo national park, up to the valley of Desolation, impressive, the Toposcope, the Nqweba Dam, the Lokasiekop - so now I've finally been introduced to the Karoo. Peter pointed out the highest point in the Cape province Compass berg, also the region where the Dutch princes Irene holds residence. If all goes well we'll be seeing her later today:)
Later I visited the Reinet House museum, a little treasure, set in an attractive mature garden, where you'll find a grape vine planted in 1870! It was the home of Rev. Andrew Murray and his son, from 1822 til 1904. The museum holds period furniture and relics of the past, like clothes, dolls, kitchen utensils; a wagon house with an old field ambulance, a funeral cart, stuff like that - just a very nice place to walk around in.
Well, we've ventured further into the Karoo today, to Nieu Bethesda. The Owl House is the main reason for people to visit, it is also a museum and it is amazing. It was the home of Helen Martins and after the death of her parents, around 1950, she transformed the modest Karoo dwelling into the remarkable place it is now. It took her 25 years, and when it was almost finished she killed herself, caustic soda, I am told. How awful.
The house itself has a hippy-ish feel to it, the walls and ceilings, and other surfaces have been painted with bold colours and then crushed glass has been added to them, and for the play of light and colour, there are many specially shaped mirrors, oil lamps and candles. Outside is an orgy of figures, fantasy and life-like, animals and birds. Buildings, pyramids and shrines, even a nativity formation, with camels, all facing the east. She has been very productive, using just basic materials, mostly (crushed) glass bottles, cement, and iron wire.
Needless to say, I loved it, and especially admired her incredible determination, her courage to do what she wanted, something so outrageous and weird, in a tiny village in the Karoo, where folk must have surely thought she was bonkers.
Well, we are back now and I am tired, the heat gets to me. Tomorrow I have a lift to Port Elizabeth, I somehow never made it there before and don't believe it is anything special but it's on my way to East London. We'll see.
Only thing is, it is on the back of a motorbike and about a 260 km ride.
Might be quite interesting.....or cold, hot, uncomfortable, scary.....sometimes I wonder if I'm not bonkers too:)
PS 21/3 I arrived safely - in a bakkie. No 'leathers', too much luggage, weather etc. Thanks Gert, for getting me to PE, safe and sound:)
PS 22/3 Just arrived at East London, where the last leg of the trip begins...........
Hello K-A, interesting to read a shared experience from your perspective and your take on G-town, G-Reinet, Nieu-Bethesda and all the other characters and incidents. Interesting that you never mentioned Bathurst, its famous Pig & Whistle and the visit to the haunted Old Rectory or did you forget about it in the hurly-burly? It was certainly a busy few days and completely different from the wilds of the Wild Coast, Botswana and everything in between. They say that South Africa is 'a world in one country'!
No jock, not forgotten, how could I? along with kary's delicious meals, the market and museum and meeting Segilla again, but the entry was just getting too long. I intended to get back to it, but you beat me to it:) thanks for commenting.

This spring, we talked with five campus CIOs to hear what is keeping them up at night and getting them revved to go in the morning. While we heard bandwidth is an ever-growing need (it's like a teenager on a growth spurt), we also heard good news about the ability to use technology to inform the culture and learning of an institution.

This proposed collection aims to examine patterns of activities, psychologies, and culture(s) of contemporary mobs and crowds. It aims to explore how and why they are initiated; how they have impacted their respective local, national, or even global communities; and how individual citizens, various groups and organizations, and even governments have responded to these acts.
Offering a host of perspectives, this anthology hopes to investigate the contemporary mob. What�s changed or changing about crowd or mob culture? How is its definition evolving, and what elements or characteristics are sustained from those of previous generations? Scholarly essays will be tentatively divided into four categories: theoretical responses to/explanations of the mob; mob/crowd culture in history; the contemporary mob or mob culture in the United States; and, lastly, comparative studies of the mob on the global scale. Focus should be geared towards the contemporary. Junior faculty and graduate students are welcome and encouraged to submit.
Contributors may approach the topic from any number of disciplines: history and politics; socio-economics; psychology; criminal justice; mass media and communication; race, ethnicity, and nationality; popular culture; and theatre and performance. A potential list of topics may include the following:
The mob as political protest Mob imagery used in advertisements and publicity Entertainment, art, and satire Film and TV parodies Violent v. non-violent protest American / African-American studies / history Youth culture, childhood and family studies The law and Civil Rights Surveillance and voyeurism Consumer culture The flash mob, the flying protest Violence following sporting matches H&M dances, Mall mobs, Grand Central performances Digital culture and the Internet Race relations and stereotypes Ethnic studies Identity and identity politics Impersonations / masks & masking Information Communication Technology (ICT) and social networking The mob as ritual or performancev Language and linguistics Memory and Remembrance Music Global, national, local politics
Please send a 300-500 word abstract attached (as a .doc or .docx file) to an email with a brief bio or C.V. (containing the author's name, institutional affiliation, and contact information) in the email text to email@example.com.
Abstracts are due by Thursday, December 1, 2011. Authors will be notified of their acceptance in January and will be expected to submit completed essays of 5,000-7,000 words in May or June 2012.

The Best Scuba Equipment in Virginia: Sealife Sea Dragon Flash
I have often maintained that one of the most favorite aspects of scuba diving (at least for me) is being able to take photographs of the things that I see while scuba diving. At Aquatic Adventures Scuba Academy, a PADI 5 Star Instructor Development Dive Center in Alexandria, Virginia we sell a fair amount of underwater photography dive equipment and also teach the PADI Underwater Photography, PADI Underwater Videography and the PADI Digital Underwater Photography as well.
One of the first things that you learn when taking photographs underwater is that you lose a lot of the natural color in your underwater photographs unless you use a strobe or flash with your camera. This is because the water filters light and naturally removes much of the color that would otherwise be present.
Over the years not only have underwater cameras improved and become smaller and easier to use but so have the underwater strobes and flashes. The new Sealife Sea Dragon Flash is a fine case in point.
Bring Out Brilliant Color in Your Photographs:
The powerful and compact Sea Dragon Flash makes it simple to add light to your images down to 200 feet/60 meters. Reducing backscatter and producing rich, deep colors in underwater photos, the Sea Dragon Flash is compatible with SeaLife camera models, and other brands of underwater cameras, that use an internal flash.
Fine Tune Your Brightness For The Perfect Shot:
The Sea Dragon Flash has a variable power adjustment and large controls make it easy to fine tune brightness, while leaving the flash in Auto Mode automatically adjusts brightness for optimal exposure. A quick-release button detaches flash head for aiming in hard to reach areas.
Easily Expand With Flex-Connect Accessories:
Quickly and easily expand Sea Dragon lighting with Flex-Connect – add grips, Flex Arms, trays and other accessories with just a "click!" Flex-Connect allows you to transform your camera set from compact to full-featured in just seconds, providing a quick way to adjust to any dive environment.
Sea Dragon Flash Features:
Universal - Works with SeaLife DC and Mini series cameras and other brands of underwater cameras that have a built-in flash (Not comptaible with the SeaLife Micro HD)
Auto Mode automatically adjusts flash brightness for optimal image exposure
Variable power adjustment allows user to manually fine-tune flash brightness for desired effect and image exposure
Easy to expand with Flex-Connect™ trays, grip and Flex Arms
Depth rated to 200 feet/60 meters
Quick-release button to detach flash and aim in crevices and hard to reach areas
Universal mount fits all SeaLife cameras and other brands of underwater cameras with standard tripod mount
Auto Learn Mode easily syncs pre-flash with any digital camera
Effective underwater distance range up to 8 feet/2.5 meters
Approximately 150 flashes at full brightness with 4 AA batteries (not included)
Waterproof battery compartment
Whether you are a casual underwater photography or a serious expert having good underwater camera equipment will greatly improve your underwater photographs. The new Sealife Sea Dragon Flash is a compact easy to use addition that will add color and detail to your underwater photographs. It is compact, easy to use and to carry. The extra color will greatly enhance the quality of your underwater photography. These photographs will make sure that you have great memories of your Aquatic Adventures.

Thomas Paul makes me melt. In a good way. The sort of way I melt when I hear that Lisa Loeb song from like 1992.
And now I hear from the beautiful Grace Bonney that the old TP will debut his new stationary line.
Of course it would start with bookmarks. That's so Thomas Paul to resurrect the lost art of bookmarking. Forget the Trader Joe's receipts, the old postcards (actually don't, b/c those are great bookmarks), the gum wrappers. Yes, TP, you are revolutionizing literature, one page at a time.
Stay, TP. Stay.

Opera Fun-damentals
If youve ever been to soprano Julia Migenes Diva on the Verge, her deliciously irreverent one-woman show exploring the humorous life of an opera singer, you know how much fun she and opera can be. Dedicated to making life easier for operanoiacs, Migenes is like a perfect opera torte not too light, not too heavy. This weekend she performs a program of songs and arias ranging all the way from Bizets Carmen to numbers by Jacques Brel, George Gershwin and Miles Davis, accompanied by the versatile pianist Edouard Ferlet.

Jeff co-founded the Weather Underground in 1995 while working on his Ph.D. He flew with the NOAA Hurricane Hunters from 1986-1990.
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 2:13 PM GMT on March 11, 2014
Climate change's most iconic research project is in danger--a victim of budget cuts in an era of increased government belt-tightening. The Keeling Curve is a measurement of the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere made atop Hawaii's Mauna Loa, begun in 1958 by Dr. Charles Keeling. It is the longest-running such measurement in the world. The curve was instrumental in showing how human emissions of carbon dioxide were steadily accumulating in Earth's atmosphere, and raised awareness that human-caused climate change was an ever-increasing threat to the stability of our climate. After Keeling's death in 2005, the measurements were continued by his son, Ralph F. Keeling. Support from NSF, NOAA and NASA is being diminished or withdrawn, and Keeling has turned to crowd-funding to help raise funds to continue these important measurements. I hope you can join me in making a donation.
Figure 1. The Keeling Curve: climate change's most iconic image. The curve's steady year-by-year increase in CO2 due to burning of coal, oil, and natural gas has wriggles on top of it, due to the natural seasonal cycle in CO2--plants suck in CO2 during the Northern Hemisphere growing season, then release it during the winter. Image credit: Scripps Institution of Oceanography, USCD.
Figure 2. Dr. Charles Keeling posing at the entrance to the Charles Keeling Building at Mauna Loa, Hawaii. Image credit: NOAA/ESRL.
CO2 Levels Hit 401 ppm
The latest data from the Keeling curve website shows that atmospheric carbon dioxide levels are surging upwards in their usual late winter push, as plants return CO2 to the atmosphere before the Northern Hemisphere spring growing season hits. CO2 levels reached 401 ppm (parts per million) last week on top of Mauna Loa, setting a new record. CO2 levels were at 280 ppm in 1870, increased less than 1 ppm per year in the 1960s, then accelerated to 2 ppm per year during the 2000s. Less than 1% of the increase since 1870 has been due to natural sources, such as volcanoes. The last time carbon dioxide levels reached 400 ppm—between 2.5 and 5 million years ago during the Pliocene Era—the Earth was 3.5 to 9° F warmer (2 to 5° C), and sea levels were 65 to 80 feet higher.

Quoting 73. GTstormChaserCaleb:I'm dying for a Camille/Haiyan showdown! |
Figure 1. The Keeling Curve: climate change's most iconic image. The curve's steady year-by-year increase in CO2 due to burning of coal, oil, and natural gas has wriggles on top of it, due to the natural seasonal cycle in CO2--plants suck in CO2 during the Northern Hemisphere growing season, then release it during the winter. True, and this is always the explanation which is given for the 'saw tooth' curve. However, warm water outgasses CO2, while cold water absorbs it. During the northern hemisphere winter, the southern ocean warms up, so there must also be a net input of CO2 from that source. |
Quoting 84. sar2401: Close but no quite. You need one more zero. One percent is .01 one tenth of one percent is .001 So ninety-five percent of one tenth of one percent is .00095 |
Quoting 93. LargoFl: They won't. Love your last line... |
Thank you for the link to crowd sourcing of the CO2 study - Hoping that they make their targets and continue the good work (yes, I chipped in too). Sounds like the anti-science/fact faction is running the show. How long before they convince their constituents that the sun revolves around the earth? f |
Rush eh? Well, we can fly, drive and ski on water and run coal Plants till the CO2 reaches 1000ppm, and the Oil and coal runs out,,..then things should settle back to 300ppm, in about a Millennia or so. The O2 Levels are going to dip too. Hows the ol EIB thing going? |
Quoting 84. sar2401: This FAQ has basically the same calculation, but indicates that it is since the industrial revolution: Cumulative decrease from the dawn of the industrial era to 2005: (3.6�1016)/(3.706�1019)�106= 972 per meg. The decrease of 972 per meg corresponds to losing 972 O2 molecules per million O2 molecules in the atmosphere, or a loss of roughly 0.1% of the O2 content. http://scrippso2.ucsd.edu/faq More resources on this topic: http://www.carboscope.eu/?q=co2_budget http://www.ipcc.ch/ipccreports/tar/wg1/fig3-4.htm Perhaps if you have strong reasoning to believe that the page is in error, you could email the page authors? |
Quoting PalmBeachWeather: Don't know what's going on with the blog today. Some images are showing up with the broken icon and then the image shows up when I refresh...and then disappears when I refresh again. Running Chrome on Windows Vista. Must be me. |
just heard on Rush,that a single jet airliner puts out enourmous amounts of CO2 on each flight...are we demanding that the arilines shut down in the global warming fight to keep the earth cooler?...will those who are premoting glbal warming not ever take a flight again?...now lets get to the SUV's and trucks...will everyone get rid of them?...you see folks..talk is cheap..when it comes to the actual giving up things..people wont..its human nature i guess..its why this GW fight will never win..relax..build higher sea walls up and down the coasts lol..its about all we can do..no wait...you cant block my ocean view with that high wall...you see what i mean.......... |
Quoting 87. PalmBeachWeather: Sup Palm Beach!! Long time no see you around |
Quoting GTstormChaserCaleb: A high-ranking military official involved in the investigation confirmed the report and also said the plane was believed to be flying low. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the information. Do not, I repeat, do not believe these supposed high ranking anonymous military officials. There's an old saying that holds true in these situations. Those that don't know, talk. Those that do know, don't. |
Quoting 53. sar2401:No problem here GT... |
Fixed for you, Skye. |
Thank you Dr. Masters |
Quoting GTstormChaserCaleb: GT, there's a glaring error in his calculations. He says: Since the beginning of the industrial revolution we have removed .095% of the oxygen in our atmosphere. From my admittedly not very good calculational skills, that should be .0095%. Nine-tenths of a percent would be a huge loss of oxygen when average room air is about 19%. Pulse oximeters, for example, would not be reading correctly, since no one's blood could reach 100%, or even 99%, saturation. I'm surprised that blog survived almost seven years with such a large error and no correction. |
Quoting 79. Naga5000: Thanks. |
Quoting 78. GTstormChaserCaleb: Exactly what you would expect from combustion. :) |
Quoting 71. Dakster: It's not a real "tipping point" that line may have been crossed already. With the length of time CO2 stays in the atmosphere and the rate at which we add more, the storage mechanisms can't keep up. 350 is better, 275 is where we have been at through most of human civilization (for context). Link |
Quoting 74. Patrap:Man you know I want to at least be able to breath in a warming world, not struggle. According to a study conducted by scientists from the Scripps Institute there is less oxygen in the atmosphere today than there used to be. The ongoing study, which accumulated and interpreted data from NOAA monitoring stations all over the world, has been running from 1989 to the present. It monitored both the rise of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and the decline in oxygen. The conclusion of that 20 year study is that, as carbon dioxide (produced primarily by burning fossil fuels) accumulates in the atmosphere, available oxygen is decreasing. Atmospheric Oxygen Levels Fall As Carbon Dioxide Rises |
Quoting 74. Patrap: Thats a large jump. Are you sure it's not exaggerated? |
And for perspective on how High and how fast we went, and are rising,..well, The obvious is certain. |
Tuesday, 1 April 2014: 9:45 AM Pacific Ballroom (Town and Country Resort ) Christopher W. Landsea, NOAA/NWS/NCEP/National Hurricane Center, Miami, FL; and M. E. Kieper and J. L. Beven II A proposed reanalysis of 1969's Hurricane Camille has been completed, as part of the Atlantic Hurricane Database Reanalysis Project. This overall reassessment of the main archive for tropical cyclones of the North Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico has been necessary to correct systematic biases and random errors in the data as well as to search for previously unrecognized systems. The reanalysis of Hurricane Camille has been expedited to allow for a homogeneous comparison of all four of the U.S. landfalling Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale Category 5 hurricanes since 1900 (the 1928 "San Felipe" Hurricane in Puerto Rico, the 1935 "Labor Day Hurricane" in the Florida Keys, 1969's Hurricane Camille in Louisiana/Mississippi, and 1992's Hurricane Andrew in southeastern Florida). A review of the available ship, station, radar, aircraft and satellite observation is presented, along with the reanalysis methodology. Finally, highlights of the Best Track Change Committee approved changes to Camille's genesis, track, intensity, and dissipation are discussed. A Reanalysis of 1969's Hurricane Camille |
We continue to dump more and more CO2 and other Fossil Fuel by-product's into the Bio-Sphere 24/7/365. We have to discontinue use or the Song Remains the Same. In my 54 years alone, note the Keeling graph rise. 90ppm |

LargoFl #62 - 50 years from now, the Earth might be nearly dead. Here's a rather extreme version of the future [LINK]. Are you aware that the human body can not survive when the dew point approaches 35C? We know that SST's in summer often exceed 30C, so add 4 or 5C to that and what do you get? Dieoff in many tropical regions... |

Manuscripts are beginning to be posted for the upcoming 31st Conference on Hurricanes and Tropical Meteorology A tease from Reanalysis of the 1955-1964 Atlantic Hurricane Seasons Some of the most interesting results thus far include decreasing the landfall intensity of Hurricane Audrey, 1957 from 125 kt originally in HURDAT to 105 kt, increasing the landfall intensity of Hurricane Gracie, 1959 from 105 kt originally in HURDAT to 115 kt and adding 12 new tropical storms. So even in the era of reconnaissance, new TC are being identified.

Right now we are still in the speculation stage and we may not know exactly what happened for years to come, think back to TWA 800 how long it took that investigation to wrap up, till this day it is not 100% proven that a short circuit inside the center wing fuel tank caused a fire that ruptured the fuselage and nose. Of course an individual or group can come forward and claim responsibility. |

ALRIGHT! Finally my most complex and challenging song yet is finished!
I started with recording the drums on my electric drum set, and followed up with the main tune.
Thereafter followed an absurd long session of perfecting every instrument one by one, before I finally put my last touch on it today!
Please take the time to listen through the whole thing, and (do I need to say it again?) turn up your volume! Rate fairly, and by that I mean that I don't want you to vote 0 just because you are a moron!
For the rest of you: enjoy!
Reviews are as always greeted with the greatest delight, and from now on I shall respond to every new review that I receive.
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars

Straight Teen Asks His Gay Best Friend To Prom
A 17-year-old gay student was caught off guard when his straight best friend asked him to prom.
Anthony Martinez posted the promposal on Twitter with a giant sign that read: "You're hella gay, I'm hella str8. But you're like my brother. So be my d8?"
Jacob Lescenski came up with the plan after Martinez, who often plans school dances with his student council, said he's never asked to go.
"He's my best friend, and a real man given the fact he has the guts to fulfill my gay...

cancer (KAN-ser)
A term for diseases in which abnormal cells divide without control and can invade nearby tissues. Cancer cells can also spread to other parts of the body through the blood and lymph systems. There are several main types of cancer. Carcinoma is a cancer that begins in the skin or in tissues that line or cover internal organs. Sarcoma is a cancer that begins in bone, cartilage, fat, muscle, blood vessels, or other connective or supportive tissue. Leukemia is a cancer that starts in blood-forming tissue such as the bone marrow, and causes large numbers of abnormal blood cells to be produced and enter the blood. Lymphoma and multiple myeloma are cancers that begin in the cells of the immune system. Central nervous system cancers are cancers that begin in the tissues of the brain and spinal cord. Also called malignancy.

Regatta Cruise Review by John Hays: Regatta - Northern Europe

Compare Prices on Regatta Baltic Sea Cruises
Regatta - Northern Europe
Our 18th cruise, the first aboard Oceania's Regatta. We prefer smaller ships (under 500 passengers) but she was fine at over 600. Intimate enough, and we'd book on her again for appealing destinations.
Pluses are her service and food. Staff is congenial and promptly helpful, ship is spotless, cabins are nice but not spacious, highly touted beds are very nice but not that big a deal. Meals are excellent, and you can eat as much (or little) as you like.
The Regatta is excellent, but does have its flaws.
There is no feeling of bonding with other passengers, no gathering at cocktail hours, no mixing and smiling. That's not all bad, but we enjoy getting to know those we're sailing with and we do that on smaller ships.
Open seating in the main dining room is the system, and we hate open seating, much preferring getting to know our waiter and his/her helpers. But open seating works okay on the Regatta, with minimal waits. The buffet meals are very More
popular, but one can be badly hurt there (kidding) by all the rudeness and shoving and such by fellow passengers. Hamburgers on the bbq are uninspired at best. The two "exclusive" restaurant options, available for booking twice on each 14 day voyage to each passenger, are musts. The steak house is outstanding, the Italian is very good.
Shore excursions are well done but a rip-off financially. Much overpriced. Far better to do your own thing, get a taxi and driver to tour you, or ride local transportation (trollies, subways, canal boat taxis, etc.). Example of pricing: A Helsinke harbour tour cruise booked aboard ship is just under $100 per person. Take it on your own and it's much cheaper at under $25 per person. Oceania needs to reevaluate its excursion pricing or increase cruise charges to offset this bloated profit center.
Cocktail pricing is too high, too. $8 for a glass of Chard is a bit much! Another profit center that irritates.
And if you're a smoker you're a leper aboard this ship. Two small areas on the whole ship that allows smoking, one outside in a corner of the pool deck, the other in the corner of a lounge. No smoking on your veranda and the maids look for evidence (be smart and discreet!). Smoking areas are frequented by crew, sometimes leaving little seating for passengers. Good luck if you smoke.
Still, with all our grumbling, the Regatta is a bit cut above most and we recommend her. So there. Less

Backstage News On Why Jim Ross Is Leaving WWE
[Previous Article] - [Next Article] - [Contact Author]
As announced earlier, WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross is retiring after 20 years with the company. Aside from Jim Ross wanting to focus on "other business ventures" (most notably his JR's Barbecue company), the Wrestling Observer reports that WWE Chairman Vince McMahon had a role in his departure. According to Observer report, Ross and McMahon met earlier todayto discuss Ross's future with the company, which led to the decision for Ross to retire. It's being said that Ric Flair's unruly behavior at the WWE 2K14 panel during SummerSlam weekend was a contributing factor in his departure. WWE management felt that Ross, who hosted the event, should have cut off Ric Flair when he went off-script and made several controversial remarks in front of WWE & 2K Sports executives.

I also only have pre paid wireless broadband so streaming is not a viable option
First of all, I don't have sky. I'm a student, living with 4 other students. 5 money-less students living together. We can't afford the luxury of having sky.
Secondly, even if we did have sky at our house, I'm the only one who has an interest in wrestling in the house and therefor I'm the only one who would want to buy Wrestlemania (or any other ppv's for that matter). I'm not made of money, so I'm not going to shell out £50 to buy it, I just can't afford it when I have to think about more important things like paying rent and utility bills.
If I could buy Mania, I would, trust me. But right now, streaming is the only option for me unfortunately :/
I wish it was a viable option to watch PPVs, but it is not...
I wish, don't have the money though.

I Have Never Seen Anything Like It In My Life Location of Sighting: Sutton, Norfolk, England, UK Date of Sighting: 13th April 2010 ~ Time: 20.40 Witness Name: H.C.
First may I say, I occasionally work as a Freelance Journalist, and usually do not comment on these subjects. At 8.40 pm this evening, I was talking on the phone whilst looking out of my upstairs bedroom window. Rising up over the rooftops, and in the distance, I saw a large glowing orange ball of light. Coming from the direction of Bacton and Happisburgh. It was travelling at an incredible speed, and I have honestly never seen anything move so fast. As it passed almost overhead, heading out towards Great Yarmouth, I managed to get the window open and watch as it SILENTLY flew out of view. All the time I had it in sight, it did not lose altitude, make a sound, flash warning lights, or change speed. I have never seen anything like it in my life, and wonder what it was and if anyone else saw it?

Bedtime Stories
Adam Sandler plays a maintenance guy in a luxury hotel who gets his big chance when there's a competition to come up with a new décor theme, and win the manager's job. He mumbles his way through this with his usual schtick, an underachiever with a chip on his shoulder that I didn't warm to, though the children in this film find him hilarious.
He has to babysit his niece and nephew and tells them bedtime stories that are thinly veiled workplace revenge fantasies, mostly about his snobby superior and competition rival Kendall (Guy Pearce). With the kids' input, the stories magically start to come true. The message here is that your future is only as big as your dream, but I'm not rooting for Sandler on his road to redemption.
