Most of the images showing the transient changes in global mean temperatures (GMT) over the 20th Century and projections out to the 21st C, show temperature anomalies. An anomaly is the change in temperature relative to a baseline which usually the pre-industrial period, or a more recent climatology (1951-1980, or 1980-1999 etc.). With very few exceptions the changes are almost never shown in terms of absolute temperatures. So why is that?
On arguing by analogy
Climate blogs and comment threads are full of 'arguments by analogy'. Depending on what 'side' one is on, climate science is either like evolution/heliocentrism/quantum physics/relativity or eugenics/phrenology/Ptolemaic cosmology/phlogiston. Climate contrarians are either like flat-earthers/birthers/moon-landing hoaxers/vaccine-autism linkers or Galileo/stomach ulcer-Helicobacter proponents/Wegener/Copernicus. Episodes of clear misconduct or dysfunction in other spheres of life are closely parsed only to find clubs with which to beat an opponent. Etc. Etc.
While the users of these 'arguments' often assume that they are persuasive or illuminating, the only thing that is revealed is how the proposer feels about climate science. If they think it is generally on the right track, the appropriate analogy is some consensus that has been validated many times and the critics are foolish stuck-in-the-muds or corporate disinformers, and if they don't, the analogy is to a consensus that was overturned and where the critics are the noble paradigm-shifting 'heretics'. This is far closer to wishful thinking than actual thinking, but it does occasionally signal clearly who is not worth talking to. For instance, an article pretending to serious discussion on climate that starts with a treatise about Lysenkoism in the Soviet Union is not to be taken seriously.
Since the truth of falsity of any scientific claim can only be evaluated on it's own terms – and not via its association with other ideas or the character of its proponents – this kind of argument is only rhetorical. It gets no-one closer to the truth of any particular matter. The fact is that many, many times, mainstream science has survived multiple challenges by 'sceptics', and that sometimes (though not at all often), a broad consensus has been overturned. But knowing which case is which in any particular issue simply by looking for points of analogy with previous issues, but without actually examining the data and theory directly, is impossible. The point being that arguments by analogy are not persuasive to anyone who doesn't already agree with you on the substance.
Given the rarity of a consensus-overturning event, the only sensible prior is to assume that a consensus is probably valid absent very strong evidence to the contrary, which is incidentally the position adopted by the arch-sceptic Bertrand Russell. The contrary assumption implies there are no a priori reasons to think any scientific body of work is credible which, while consistent, is not one that I have ever found anyone professing in practice. Far more common is a selective rejection of science dependent on other reasons and that is not a coherent philosophical position at all.
Analogies do have their place of course – usually to demonstrate that a supposedly logical point falls down completely when applied to a different (but analogous) case. For instance, an implicit claim that all correct scientific theories are supported by a unanimity of Nobel Prize winners/members of the National Academies, is easily dismissed by reference to Kary Mullis or Peter Duesberg. A claim that CO2 can't possibly have a significant effect solely because of its small atmospheric mixing ratio, can be refuted as a general claim by reference to other substances (such as arsenic, plutonium or Vitamin C) whose large effects due to small concentrations are well known. Or if a claim is made that all sciences except climate science are devoid of uncertainty, this is refuted by reference to, well, any other scientific field.
To be sure, I am not criticising the use of metaphor in a more general sense. Metaphors that use blankets to explaining how the greenhouse effect works, income and spending in your bank account to stand in for the carbon cycle, what the wobbles in the Earth's orbit look like if the planet was your head, or conceptualizing the geologic timescale by compressing it to a day, for instance, all serve useful pedagogic roles. The crucial difference is that these mappings don't come dripping with over-extended value judgements.
Another justification for the kind of analogy I'm objecting to is that it is simply for amusement: "Of course, I'm not really comparing my opponents to child molesters/food adulterers/mass-murderers – why can't you take a joke?". However, if you need to point out to someone that a joke (for adults at least) needs to have more substance than just calling someone a poopyhead, it is probably not worth the bother.
It would be nice to have a moratorium on all such analogical arguments, though obviously that is unlikely to happen. The comment thread here can assess this issue directly, but most such arguments on other threads are ruthlessly condemned to the bore-hole (where indeed many of them already co-exist). But perhaps we can put some pressure on users of these fallacies by pointing to this post and then refusing to engage further until someone actually has something substantive to offer. It may be pointless, but we can at least try.
IPCC attribution statements redux: A response to Judith Curry
I have written a number of times about the procedure used to attribute recent climate change (here in 2010, in 2012 (about the AR4 statement), and again in 2013 after AR5 was released). For people who want a summary of what the attribution problem is, how we think about the human contributions and why the IPCC reaches the conclusions it does, read those posts instead of this one.
The bottom line is that multiple studies indicate with very strong confidence that human activity is the dominant component in the warming of the last 50 to 60 years, and that our best estimates are that pretty much all of the rise is anthropogenic.
The probability density function for the fraction of warming attributable to human activity (derived from Fig. 10.5 in IPCC AR5). The bulk of the probability is far to the right of the "50%" line, and the peak is around 110%.
If you are still here, I should be clear that this post is focused on a specific claim Judith Curry has recently blogged about supporting a "50-50" attribution (i.e. that trends since the middle of the 20th Century are 50% human-caused, and 50% natural, a position that would center her pdf at 0.5 in the figure above). She also commented about her puzzlement about why other scientists don't agree with her. Reading over her arguments in detail, I find very little to recommend them, and perhaps the reasoning for this will be interesting for readers. So, here follows a line-by-line commentary on her recent post. Please excuse the length.

Faking it
Every so often contrarians post old newspaper quotes with the implication that nothing being talked about now is unprecedented or even unusual. And frankly, there are lots of old articles that get things wrong, are sensationalist or made predictions without a solid basis. And those are just the articles about the economy.
However, there are plenty of science articles that are just interesting, reporting events and explorations in the Arctic and elsewhere that give a fascinating view into how early scientists were coming to an understanding about climate change and processes. In particular, in the Atlantic sector of the Arctic the summer of 1922 was (for the time) quite warm, and there were a number of reports that discussed some unprecedented (again, for the time) observations of open water. The most detailed report was in the Monthly Weather Review:

Nenana Ice Classic: Update
Somewhat randomly, my thoughts turned to the Nenana Ice Classic this evening, only to find that the ice break up had only just occurred (3:48 pm Alaskan Standard Time, April 25). This is quite early (the 7th earliest date, regardless of details associated with the vernal equinox or leap year issues), though perhaps unsurprising after the warm Alaskan winter this year (8th warmest on record). This is in strong contrast to the very late break up last year.
Break up dates accounting for leap years and variations in the vernal equinox.
As mentioned in my recent post, the Nenana break up date is a good indicator of Alaskan regional temperatures and despite last year's late anomaly, the trends are very much towards a earlier spring. This is also true for trends in temperatures and ice break up mostly everywhere else too, despite individual years (like 2013/2014) being anomalously cold (for instance in the Great Lakes region). As we've often stressed, it is the trends that are important for judging climate change, not the individual years. Nonetheless, odds on dates as early as this years have more than doubled over the last century.

Not much in the way of production values, just a handful of hot chow-downs at the hairy oyster farm to keep your attention.
True-blue aficionados of lesbian sex would tend to agree that authentic passion between partners is crucial; a fact that all the pretty-girl lesbo vids seem to ignore. Watching a woman get off repeatedly is far more stimulating than all the lingerie and tit jobs in the world —and a far rarer occurrence in adult vids than should be acceptable. So it's our pleasure to report that there are two noteworthy scenes in GT2 which bear the stamp of a pre-nominations mention.
They're both threeways. First up is a tasty girl sandwich comprised of Mia Smiles, Cassie, and Mariah... whose perky little nipples harden visibly as she's stimulated by her afternoon lovers. The strap-on makes its requisite appearance, but it's used, uh, judiciously. Even hotter is the defilement of Temptress by Natasha and an unknown friend. Yes, folks, our Achilles; heel has always been redheads —and carrot-topped Temptress is a multi-orgasmic one to boot! Say no more.

Accurate estimation of Gaussian noise level is of fundamental interest in a wide variety of vision and image processing applications as it is critical to the processing techniques that follow. In this paper, a new effective noise level estimation method is proposed on the basis of the study of singular values of noise-corrupted images. Two novel aspects of this paper address the major challenges in noise estimation: 1) the use of the tail of singular values for noise estimation to alleviate the influence of the signal on the data basis for the noise estimation process and 2) the addition of known noise to estimate the content-dependent parameter, so that the proposed scheme is adaptive to visual signals, thereby enabling a wider application scope of the proposed scheme. The analysis and experiment results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm can reliably infer noise levels and show robust behavior over a wide range of visual content and noise conditions, and that is outperforms relevant existing methods.

Renée Rossouw funneled her various fixations into a single focus when she spent 2010 pursuing the Master of European Design Labs, an interdisciplinary degree program directed by Spanish designer Jaime Hayon. The program is based in Madrid, but students travel to various European cities. Rossouw, 26, had just completed a master's in architecture, but she was on less sure footing regarding other types of design. "I was interested in design from a young age, but I never felt I truly understood it," she says. "South Africa is a craft-oriented country, but we don't actually have a design industry."
In Europe, she realized where she fits in that industry. "I was inspired 24-7," Rossouw says. "I started to draw a lot of maps. I became obsessed with urban details. I started to realize I am someone who picks up on patterns." These drawings became Pattern Diary (below), a colorful, totemic travelogue of her year abroad recorded on a collection of 13 ceramic plates and vases.
When she returned to Cape Town, she applied her playful graphics to wallpaper, shoes, and wooden toys. The Colours, a 2011 collection of figurines for children, are made from wood she chopped, painted, and varnished herself. They're as much about her native country as Pattern Diary is about Europe. "I wanted to play on South African identity," she says. "South Africa is a colorful place, a melting pot." In the back of her mind, she was searching for a basic South African icon.
Last year, Robin Sprong, owner of the eponymous Cape Town–based art-wallpaper firm, saw the patterns blanketing Rossouw's booth at the annual Design Indaba conference, and he invited her to design a collection. Like Pattern Diary, the papers are cheery abstractions that come off as a secret language with buried punch lines. "I often make jokes within my work," Rossouw says. "As you interact with it, a story unfolds."

text: Close Top NFL Draft Wide Receiver Prospects 0 0 More 0 0 0 View Gallery Next Previous Next Tommy LaPorte/Icon SMI Keenan Allen Cal's quarterback issues limited Allen's ability to produce in 2012, but the talent is still there in the 6-foot, 2-inch receiver. Allen had 98 catches for 1,343 yards in 2011 but just 61 receptions and 737 receiving yards in 2012. He has solid hands, can out-jump defensive backs for lofted passes and is a solid route-runner. 1|15 Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images Cordarrelle Patterson The junior college transfer made a big impact in his only year of FBS football, catching 46 passes for 778 yards and five touchdowns while also rushing for 308 yards and three more scores. Patterson has the speed, height and jumping ability to be a major threat on vertical routes. He makes good cuts on his routes but is prone to making body catches and struggles with press coverage. 2|15 Gerry Broome/AP DeAndre Hopkins Hopkins clicked with quarterback Tajh Boyd to the tune of 1,405 yards and 18 touchdowns in 2012. He excels at creating separation and has the hands to haul in difficult catches. Hopkins is also a capable blocker. 3|15 John W. McDonough/SI Tavon Austin The speed is unquestionably there. Austin turned heads with his 4.34 40-yard dash time at the NFL Combine (it was first listed unofficially as 4.25). The numbers are there, too. He caught 114 passes for 1,289 yards and 12 touchdowns, also rushing 72 times for 643 yards. What isn't there is height. Austin is just 5-8, which could limit his impact and force him into the slot. 4|15 Greg McWilliams/Icon SMI Justin Hunter Hunter helped his draft stock immensely by playing a full season in 2012 after appearing in a combined 12 games in 2010 and 2011. Of course it helped that he produced so well, too. Hunter's numbers exceeded even teammate Cordarrelle Patterson's as he caught 73 passes for 1,083 yards and nine touchdowns. At 6-4 he has great height but needs to get stronger to help him get off the line and to improve his blocking. 5|15 Don Ryan/AP Da'Rick Rogers Rogers made 61 catches for 893 yards and 10 touchdowns in 11 games playing against FCS-level competition last year. Dismissed from Tennessee before the season, Rogers opted for Tennessee Tech rather than having to sit out a year at another FBS school. NFL teams will have to determine Rogers' maturity and whether he is worth the risk. 6|15 Greg Nelson/SI Terrance Williams The NCAA's leading receiver had a tremendous senior year, proving he didn't need Robert Griffin III to excel. Williams caught 97 passes for 1,832 yards and 12 touchdowns in 12 games. He is a quality blocker, but to succeed in the NFL he'll have to improve his route-running and his ability to get separation over the middle. 7|15 Larry Placido/Icon SMI Robert Woods Woods' role diminished in USC's passing attack after Marqise Lee established himself as the clear No. 1. After catching 111 passes for 1,292 yards as a sophomore, Woods fell to 74 catches for 849 yards in 2012 while playing through an ankle injury. Still Woods is an excellent route runner and not afraid to go over the the middle. 8|15 John W. McDonough/SI Stedman Bailey Geno Smith's favorite target had a preposterously good season statistically. Bailey caught 114 passes for 1,622 yards and 25 touchdowns, seven more than any other receiver. As the numbers indicate, Bailey can certainly create separation and has solid hands. What he lacks is size, and although he's by no means slow, Bailey won't be a burner in the NFL. 9|15 Bob Levey/Getty Images Quinton Patton The junior college transfer shined in his two seasons at Louisiana Tech, topping 1,200 yards and 10 touchdowns in both seasons. Patton has impressive quickness and posted one of the fastest 20-yard shuttle times at the combine. The two-time first-team All-WAC receiver has great body control, especially near the sidelines, but sometimes struggles to complete catches when contested. 10|15 John W. McDonough/SI Markus Wheaton Wheaton filled the lead role in Oregon State's 1-2 punch at wide receiver with Brandin Cooks, leading the Beavers with 91 catches for 1,244 yards and 11 touchdowns. His quickness is his top asset, as his fast times in the 20-yard and 60-yard shuttles indicate. That quickness helps him jump into his routes a step ahead of his defender. 11|15 Fred Brooks/Icon SMI Cobi Hamilton As the rest of Arkansas regressed, Hamilton thrived in 2012. The senior receiver caught 90 passes for 1,335 yards in 2012, nearly 800 more yards than he had a year earlier when Jarius Wright stole the spotlight. He's capable of picking up yards after the catch, but Hamilton's biggest obstacle is securing the catch. He has been plagued at times by drops. 12|15 Brad Davis/Icon SMI Kenny Stills Stills lacks the eye-popping numbers of some of the other wide receivers, but he makes up for it with consistency. In three seasons at Oklahoma, Stills never had fewer than 786 receiving yards and five touchdowns. His 4.38 40-yard dash shows that Stills has the speed to pose problems in the NFL. Stills will have to overcome some off-field issues, including a 2011 DUI arrest. 13|15 Jesse Beals/Icon SMI Marquess Wilson Unfortunately for Wilson, the top story regarding him as he enters the draft is his dramatic exit from the Washington State program. Wilson quit the team in November and alleged abuse by coach Mike Leach and his staff, though he later clarified that he didn't mean Leach's staff had physically abused Wilson or other players but that the players weren't treated right. Teams will have to sort through how they judge Wilson's actions and measure that against his quality play -- 189 catches for 3,207 yards and 23 touchdowns over three seasons, the last one shortened by him quitting. 14|15 Cliff Welch/Icon SMI Ace Sanders Sanders lacks the wide receiver pedigree of the other players on this list but has the unique talent of a lethal punt returner. He averaged 15.3 yards per punt return last season, including two returns for touchdowns. As a receiver he caught 45 passes for 531 yards and nine scores. He'll likely make an immediate impact in the NFL as a returner with his elusiveness and quickness, but at 5-7 he's significantly undersized in the passing game. 15|15 Next up NFL What's not to love about Joeckel. The consensus No. 1 overall pick took on some of the best pass rushers in the nation and shut them down, earning the Outland Trophy as the nation's top lineman. He has great footwork and solid awareness. Joeckel will likely need to continue to add to his 6-foot, 6-inch, 306-pound frame to improve his strength as a run blocker. 15 Top NFL Draft Offensive Linemen Prospects March 19, 2013 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 More Recommended Galleries NFL The King doesn't give up his throne because of one substandard season, especially when he was without his best receiver for the entire year. It was borderline remarkable what Rodgers was able to accomplish last season with the weapons at his disposal. Despite lacking a true deep threat or anyone who could consistently create separation, Rodgers threw for 3,821 yards and 31 touchdowns against eight interceptions. His YPA cratered to 6.68, a direct result of Jordy Nelson's absence. In 2014, Rodgers put up 10.06 YPA on balls thrown to Nelson, and the duo hooked up for 19 passes of at least 20 yards. Now that Rodgers has his true No. 1 receiver back in the fold, there's nothing to stop him from getting back to the top of his position this season. 10 Top 10 Fantasy Football Quarterbacks (2016) 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 More NFL 1984 18 Classic SI Photos of Tim Brown 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 More NFL Antonio Brown is remarkably consistent, scoring fewer than than six fantasy points in six games over the last three years, three of which Ben Roethlisberger missed due to injury. In fact, if you look at only the 12 games Roethlisberger played last year, Brown was on a 16-game pace for 158.7 catches, 2,132 yards and 13.3 touchdowns. He's capable of winning fantasy games singlehandedly, which he displayed when he caught 17 passes for 284 yards in a win over the Raiders last season. With all due respect to Odell Beckham and Julio Jones, Brown's track record, age and offensive environment in Pittsburgh make him the No. 1 fantasy receiver heading into the 2016 season. Not only is he the top choice at his position, Brown is the best overall player in the game. 20 Top 20 Fantasy Football Rankings (2016) 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 More

Chaffetz calls for truth about, accountability for Benghazi attacks
The U.N. ambassador at the time, Susan Rice, first blamed mob protests over an anti-Islamic film. Then militant groups linked to al-Qaida were blamed for the attacks.
Inconsistencies in reports are what piqued the interest of Joseph Brinton, a senior at the U. studying history education and political science.
"I think the average American doesn't know the extent to which mixed signals were given in the administration," Brinton said.
Chaffetz said he was infuriated that the president, secretary of state and secretary of defense told the world they did everything they could when the four-star general in charge disagreed.
"You could get on a Delta flight in Salt Lake City, fly to Paris, change planes, fly to Tripoli faster than our military responded," Chaffetz said. "We spend $600 billion a year to have the biggest, baddest military on the face of the planet, and you can't get to Libya in 24 hours?"
Chaffetz said he wants to hear from the people on the ground during the attacks, something he says the Obama administration is preventing. He wants to see systemic failures fixed, embassies built and secured up to code and wrongdoers caught and punished, he said.
A botched "60 Minutes" report on Benghazi in October affected Chaffetz's efforts.
"That was a setback," he said. "A lot of media outlets stopped covering it once '60 Minutes' made a mistake, and that's a shame."
But Chaffetz said he still has cards to play, including a number of hearings from the oversight committee and 13 transcribed interviews the public hasn't seen yet.
"We have to pay attention," he said. "This is no phony scandal, and there's still a lot more to learn."

R&D et innovation en France : quel financement pour les entreprises de la Défense ?
We study the financing of R&D and innovation expenditures of French defence firms at the end of a period characterised by a decline of defence purchasing. Our results provide some support for the hypothesis of a dependence of these firms on public aid. However, large groups receive most of this aid and small independent firms are more dependent on bank loans. Improving their financing may induce an increasing of their R&D and innovation expenditures. JEL: L60, L64, G32, O3

Katharine McPhee in Goldsign
Katharine McPhee looked really happy as she was making her way around the set of 'Smash' in New York City a few days ago. I've noticed that stars usually opt for slippers or Uggs while in between takes and flitting between trailers.
Katherine wore a pair of Goldsign Thrill mid rise cropped coated jeans in Ruby Gloss. I wonder if these are part of her wardrobe for the TV series or if hey are her own? They look really nice, they sort of have that brown undertone to them rather than being a vibrant red! Buy Goldsign jeans online at Singer22.com.

Rachel Bilson in Goldsign
Just a couple of days ago I was saying it had been a while since we saw Rachel Bilson on the blog! She was spotted out in her Goldsign Jenny jeans again, as she stopped by a local liquor store to pick up a gift.
It seems as though Rachel is spending more time concentrating on fashion than film, which I think is great because she has a unique style! Rachel who appears on the April cover of Lucky magazine. She shared what her favorite shoes are, "My Chanel boots are my favorite. They're so easy to wear with everything and make your feet feel so stylish." You can buy Rachel's jeans online here for $228.
Rachel Bilson in Goldsign
I feel like we haven't seen a lot of Rachel Bilson on the blog lately, I miss seeing her style, as it's always unique. Rachel was spotted wearing a pair of Goldsign's Jenny high rise slim leg selvedge jeans in Debut.
She paired them with a simple tee and a pair of leopard print sandals, for a day out with Hayden Christensen. Hopefully we'll start to see Rachel on the blog more frequently. You can buy these jeans online for $288.
Zoe Saldana in Goldsign
Zoe Saldana was spotted heading to the movies in Los Angeles, California. She wore a pair of Goldsign Lure Skinny jeans in Precious. I like the blue/black wash of these. It is a wash that I find very versatile.
I have grown quite fond of Goldsign jeans. I have yet to try them out, but I think they make some really great washes and styles. I think their Jenny jeans are really great. I think it is a style that is quite flattering when worn on the tighter side as opposed to the slouchier way that we have seen them worn quite a few times. Click here to buy Goldsign at Shopbop.

On an evening just a couple of weeks out of Halloween, Toronto FC recorded which, at the time, was the club's biggest win in its history. The 3-0 shellacking of FC Dallas ensured that TFC would go on to the knockout stages of the CONCACAF Champions League.
On that October evening, TFC fans feted Joao Plata, the diminutive rookie who set up the first goal and added two more. But, on that evening, we saw the emergence of a player whose long-term future may mean more to the club than any other Red who was on the field that night.
On that night, Doneil Henry was inserted as an emergency right back, and was asked to contend with Brek Shea's runs down the left channel of FCD's attack. Henry was very much TFC's unsung hero on that night — and we can point to that evening as the moment when Henry transferred his status from "prospect" to "player."

NM aircraft manufacturer lays off workers
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — Eclipse Aerospace is blaming market conditions for its decision to lay off a number of [auth] workers Friday.
A senior vice president with the company, Ed Lundeen, wouldn't say exactly how many workers were affected. But city and state economic development officials say they have been told by the company it plans to hire more workers once the economy improves.
Lundeen says jet plane sales have been slower than Eclipse had hoped for, and that forced a change in the production forecast at its manufacturing plant in Albuquerque.
The layoffs come months after the company announced it would be adding 100 new jobs over the next two years. It has until December 2015 to do that if it wants to continue receiving state funds and rental discounts from the city.

Alx just to let you know that I went to the same phase in hating my family and let me just say that at the age of 16 when i came out it was a hard and rough transition because it took me awhile to fully love my family. And now at the age of 18 i love my family they support me and they know i will be good. I was in the same situation with religion as a devoted Catholic and i came to realize when Lady Gaga came out with the music video of Born This Way that God makes no damn mistake we are all perfect. I love you so much Alx just for being you and continue to be you and gurl, Never Give Up and be free.

Subaru WRX 2012-2014, Interstate Roof Cargo Bag by Thule®. The Interstate gives you all the carrying ability of a large capacity hardshell cargo box with the convenience of an easy to store, easy to mount bag. It can handle 16 cu. ft. of gear, yet it collapses and compacts for stowing in the included storage bag. Internal foam structure protects contents and taped seam construction provides weather protection. The Interstate can be mounted to load bars, side rails or both with its heavy-duty double-stitched cargo straps.
Weather Protection
IP-X3 test certified water resistance sets the standard for car top bag weather protection.
3-Sided Zipper
Coated, 3-sided zipper with generous storm flap provides easy, weather-protected access to contents.
Twin Compression Straps
Twin compression straps keep cargo securely positioned while in transit, minimizing friction and noise.
Double-Stitched Webbing Straps
Heavy-duty, double-stitched webbing straps (included) attach bag to roof rack crossbars or raised rails.
Backed by a limited lifetime warranty.
- Carrying Capacity: 16 cu. ft.
- Water Resistance: IP-X3
- Coated Zipper: Yes
- Double-Coated Tarpaulin: Yes
- Padded Base: Yes
- Phthalate-Free Construction: Yes
- Dual Compression Straps: Yes
- Taped Seams: Yes
The Interstate Roof Cargo Bag is the perfect combination of utility and convenience. A large capacity hardshell cargo box can haul a lot of gear, but it takes up a lot of room in the garage when you're not using it. The Interstate can carry the same amount of gear, but collapses fast and compacts for easy storage in the included storage bag. A hardshell cargo box also requires a roof rack with cross bars, but the Interstate can be mounted to vehicles with only side rails.
The Interstate comes equipped with heavy-duty double-stitched cargo straps that can be used to secure the bag to load bars, side rails or both. It can be mounted to Thule rack systems, round bars and most factory racks. Heavy-duty zippers secure the Interstate's storage compartments, including internal storage pockets for small items. The standard capacity of 15 cu. ft. can be expanded to 17 cu. ft. by unzipping the bag's lower zipper. The bag's internal foam structure protects the contents and also helps to keep the bag's shape, even when it's not filled to capacity. The combination of taped seam construction and water resistant materials protects the contents of the bag from the weather.
The Interstate Roof Cargo Bag comes with everything required for installation, including detailed instructions. The limited lifetime warranty applies to the original purchaser of the product, and warrants the product against manufacturer's defects in materials or workmanship.
Thule® designs and manufactures products for outdoor enthusiasts, athletes, and those that lead an active lifestyle. They specialize in developing and marketing cargo transportation solutions so these people can bring their gear with them wherever they go, whatever they drive. Thule was founded in Sweden in 1942, and built their first roof rack system in the 1960s. Today Thule leads the market with innovative products for transporting, bicycles, watercraft, snowsport equipment and other gear on the roof, with the trailer hitch, on the trunk or hatch, or in the pickup bed. Thule manufactures the strongest, most durable and longest lasting load carrying systems on the market, and backs their products with a lifetime warranty. Over 80% of Thule products sold in North America are made in USA, and Thule employs over 1,000 American workers.

This table is gorgeous. It has a modern and expensive look to it. Very sturdy as well. The color is a deep brown which looks perfect with everything.
I have been searching for long but narrow and tall black endtables for a long time and these are perfect. They were easy to put together and took less than 30 minutes. They are very stable. I have one on either side of my couch and they work perfectly for a long but narrow livingroom. The drawers are a good size and it is big enough to have a table lamp, coasters, and candle without looking cluttered.
Great small table that accents any room. Easy assembly. Great choice.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? exact
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. great quality for the buck....
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? very accurate description
Just the ideal table that fits perfectly in the spot I imagined it to be in my living room. Great for lamps and drawers is the perfect size for all my remote controls for my media. Great size, great price and sturdy.
- Did the color match the color displayed onsite? Yes, only one color
- How is the quality of the product? yes, good quality
- Did the description onsite accurately describe the product? yes, everything is accurate
Love the table. Very true to picture. Looks great in my more modern home.
I ordered this end table for my mother, who lives in a nursing home, and has a small room. It is just the right size to set beside her recliner, and seems to be very sturdy. Having two shelves and a drawer (works very nicely), she will have lots of room for her books, newspapers, magazines, greeting cards, photos etc, and they will be right at her fingertips. My husband and I put this table together, with no problems. The direction sheet was very well done...very easy to understand. No parts missing, and unbelievable how well it was packed for shipping! We are well satisfied with this end table, and highly recommend it.
Just bought two of these tables. I must commend Overstock on the packing job for these tables! The outer box had tons of bubble wrap, foam sheeting & packing tape on the outside of the box itself. These things were very well protected - inside & outside of the box- no dings, chips or scratches whatsoever. Took ten minutes to get under all the bubble wrapping to get to the boxes themselves. Well done, Overstock!!! The first took about an hour to assemble b/c I didn't think the assembly instructions (illustrations only) were super clear so some of my assembly was by trial and error. However, the second table took only half an hour to assemble & the finished products look really nice. Most of the table appears to be made of real wood & appears sturdy. The drawer is not the best, but we won't be using that too often so for our purposes, since we needed narrower end tables, these will work perfectly!
Yes it is small but perfect for a tight space or to fill space. I was replacing furntiure in my living room and needed a black end table. I only needed it to place a lamp and a drink and maybe a picture. It is really easy to put together (the hardest part for me was putting the drawer on because the diagram wasn't too clear). The drawer is a nice touch to keep paper, remotes, address book, or whatever you want around but don't want to leave out.
I would recommend this table if you have a small area - it is very narrow but quite deep so it is perfect for next to a bed. The drawer actually holds a lot and I use it to store the remotes for my tv and my reading glasses. It was quite easy to assemble and it is very sturdy as well. I looked around a lot before I found this and couldn't find anything narrow enough - plus furniture stores wanted over $200 for something that wasn't even as nice as this table.
We are very happy with this table. I needed a table that wasn't too wide, but yet had storage. This is perfect, with the drawer, and extra shelf below.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Compared well.
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. This is a good quality, sturdy piece.
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? The description was right on.
Perfect for decoration and a lamp stand, it's what I use it for. It's strong for a end table and it's very sturdy. I bought to for each side of the sofa set and it looks very nice, perfect touch. The low price is what caught my attention and everyone is right, easy to assemble. Great furniture for low price.
- Did the color match the color displayed onsite? yes
- How is the quality of the product? good quality side table
- Did the description onsite accurately describe the product? yes
The table is high enough to work very well by a recliner. The drawer is great to store the remotes. I thought it assembled easily - but that is probably because my husband did the work.
- Did the color match the color displayed onsite? yes
- How is the quality of the product? good
- Did the description onsite accurately describe the product? yes
I bought 2 tables and they look terrific. Easy to assemble and the perfect height and width for my needs. small storage drawer is ideal for holding TV remotes and coasters.
We purchased this table for our family room and it is a perfect fit next to our sectional. The drawer is large enough for our remotes and I like the color of the table - soft black. It was relatively easy to assemble. Would definitely recommend the table for tight spaces!
This small black table was exactly what I needed to place between the recliners my husband and I use. The size was perfect since we were limited in space. The item arrived exactly on time and was packed well to keep it protected and was in perfect condition. My only complaint was it was difficult to follow the instructions, but close study and a little trial and error resulted in a great table.
Love this! I put right next to my couch and it is very sturdy and the color goes well with all my furniture in the living room so it works great. and it was really easy to put together, so simple.
I needed a small end table for my living room to fit in a slender space at the end of the couch. This little table looks great - exactly as pictured - easy to assemble. The drawer does seem a little tight to open and close - might loosen with use but it wasn't a big priority - I deducted one star for that. I really wanted the table for the size and color because we already own a black entertainment center but the matching end tables at the furniture store were huge. This one is perfect - it has enough space on the surface for a table lamp, a coaster, a couple of magazines - without taking up a ton of room. It's also the right height for an end table - easy to reach when sitting on the couch. Many small end tables are several inches shorter and can't be reached over the arm of a couch. I also like that it has a small shelf on the bottom for items. At Christmas, I moved the magazines to the bottom shelf & had enough room on the surface for a some holiday decorations and a basket of Christmas candy. A great little table - great price - delivery was fast too. I'm very happy with this purchase.
I have to say I love this table. It was totally worth the money, compared to the other ones I looked at in furniture stores. It goes together easy it's very sturdy. I actually bought 2.
I have a small apt and needed small tables for next to my loveseat for tissues, remotes, etc. I ordered two tables and they arrives in boxes that were well padded and had an additional layer of large bubble wrap on the outside of the boxes. I unwrapped one last night and all is well. I'll get to the other later. I'm not worried. I know O will make a no-fuss replacement if I find any damage, though with how these were wrapped, I don't expect any. I am (pleasantly) surprised by how sturdy and heavy these little tables are. I put one together last night while watching tv. Wasn't hard, just had to pay attention and check the instructions (typically, not always clear as could be) with the actual pieces and hardware, and the direction pieces faced. All I needed was a screwdriver and not a lot of strength. I'm a 60+female so even I could do it! Pieces were all there and fit together well. I very much like how the drawer and shelf add space fairly substantial storage space, and that the drawer is a good size. Love the little matte silver handle. Table height is perfect with my love seat arms, has a chunky contemporary feel, and does not take up a lot of room. The finish is a matte black. I think that contributes to its contemporary look. Just what I needed.
Love this table. At first I thought I would not be able to put it together - it did take several hours but it was not as difficult as I thought. Looks great - perfect as a side table in my home office. Highly recommend if you need a narrow black side table.

The next-generation BMW Z4 is being co-developed with Toyota, and the Japanese firm will also produce its own version of the car, according to sources inside the company.
BMW and Toyota met last year to discuss materials, powertrains and styling, and the coupe you see here is one suggested design direction, although it's early days for a car that will launch in 2017.
The new coupe will employ a front-engine, rear-drive layout, following on from the current Z4. And our insider claims it will have a lightweight focus.
He said: "This car will use the same lightweight body construction as the i3 and i8." That means lots of carbon fibre and aluminium in a model which will incorporate basic body and chassis design by BMW.
"And even with that type of construction, you can expect a price around the same as that of the current Z4," added our source.
Toyota will contribute its next- generation plug-in hybrid tech, incorporating a capacitor like in the TS030 Le Mans car and the Yaris Hybrid R Concept.
Lithium-ion batteries should ensure a long-distance electric range, while the capacitor is for an instant electric boost.
One insider compared it with fitting a turbocharger. The engine is likely to come from BMW, and our source told us: "For this car, the potential for an engine that is no bigger than a 2.0-litre is very high."
