Diode Boards & Grounding Wires
On BMW Airhead Motorcycles
((including information on diodes testing))

Basic and advance diode board testing:
Diode board testing and information about repairing the faulty Wehrle-manufactured ones (I've seen a few Bosch boards with the same problems)
(with non-bent-over large diode leads) is covered in depth in the June 1999 issue of
AIRMAIL, an article by BMW Guru Oak Okleshen. Airhead owners should read the article. The Oak-recommended (& frankly difficult to do) board modification could be
done if the solder joints are failing, especially if you have a R100 engine, which develops
more heat (worse if an RS or RT). I've had good luck with removing the 'paint' with
gel type paint remover, somewhat enlarging the solder pad area first, by CAREFUL
scraping with a sharp Xacto thin blade hobbyist knife (don't remove copper), & then re-soldering using a higher temperature solder (50-50 plumber's solder and
rosin flux). No re-painting needed. This is vastly easier to do because drilling the
PC board & adding wires & soldering per Oak's method is quite difficult & best done
by total disassembly (which Oak did not get into and is a huge PIA!). Yes, it can be done with long
tweezers or forceps, but is tricky,...again... a real PIA! I can NOT recommend that method, and I won't even do it myself. I've also seen several BOSCH boards with this problem, perhaps Wehrle made
them? There have been some other Bosch and Wehrle labeled products
that made me think either could have made them.
No matter the board maker's label, I suggest inspecting the solder joints for overheating. More later in this article.
Diode testing is most often done with a multimeter. Using the OHMS function, voltage is
applied by the meter's internal battery. When this voltage is applied to a diode (if the
polarity of the test leads are such that the
ACTUAL - (minus) lead is connected to the
end of the diode marked with a LINE (that end is called the cathode), then current can
flow through the diode. Mentioning this "actual" because many meters have - voltage on the + red
lead on the ohms functions). The amount of current is limited by multimeter design. If the meter leads are then
reversed, NO current should flow (or, a super teeny current, called leakage current or
reverse current). Thus, in the conducting direction, the resistance is very low, and in
the reverse direction the resistance should be VERY high. Some multimeters have
a very low voltage applied on the ohms function, and thus will NOT test diodes, because
the meter can not 'turn on' the diode in the forward (conducting) direction, which requires
as much as 0.75 volts on some small power diodes (most are .4 to .6 volt). A few meters have both very low applied ohms functions voltage AND a higher voltage application function.
Some meters have a DIODE TEST function, & you do not then have to use the OHMS function, unless you want to. I do BOTH tests routinely. The meter in diode test mode will indicate forward voltage drop of the diode.
One has to know one's meter, & testing on a known good diode is a good way to know. The most important readings are that the forward connection be a LOW ohms reading, and the reverse be a VERY HIGH ohms reading. For the Diode Test function, most such meters read the forward voltage drop on the various power-rated diodes at ~0.5-0.6 volt, and if outside this range, the diode is probably bad.
Re-stating, differently, and somewhat more in depth:
Diodes can be tested for forward current direction resistance on your ohmmeter. The indication should be fairly low, and just about equal for all power diodes on your meter. The actual reading could be 8 to 120 ohms perhaps, depending on the meter...this is not an absolute on the X1 range (if it has adjustments for range). Most ohmmeters have one or two small internal batteries that enable "turning on" the diode under test, if the leads connection is in the proper direction. Some, usually more expensive ohmmeters, do not turn on diodes on an especially low voltage ohms test mode. The reverse mode test of the diode should indicate a very high resistance and can be tested for this by reversing the ohmmeter leads to the diode & raising the full scale range setting on the ohmmeter (if it has manually operated ranges), & the reading should be in the millions. All Airhead diode board diodes can be tested in this manner. In fact, most diodes can be tested this way. If something else (besides the meter) is connected to the diode, testing can provide usable information, or not at all usable readings. Ohmmeters can be RUINED if the vehicle power is on. To use an ohmmeter on a vehicle, it is mandatory to disconnect the battery. This is usually done by removing ALL the wires at the Negative battery post!...or, if only the one large wire, disconnect it at either end.
Tests can be VERY confusing if anything is connected to that diode besides just the meter. Luckily, the ohmmeter test and the meter Diode Test functions both generally work OK on the still-connected Airhead diode board, with some minor reservations. Better is with the board removed and disconnected from all wiring, but it is not mandatory. Disconnect the battery before doing testing!!
Very special diodes such as "zener diodes"; Schottky diodes; ETC.,... will indicate differently, and for our motorcycle purposes (except for some special places like inside the electronic tachometer and inside the electronic voltage regulator for the alternator, are unimportant except as a mention here).
A better test:
This is a dynamic test. It tests the diode board with some substantial, but safe, current flowing through the diode. I do the ohmmeter test for front to back ratio first. This test is for all diodes on the diode board...but pay attention to the details, below!
ESPECIALLY GOOD (but not exclusively) FOR THE SIX LARGE DIODES IN THE DIODE BOARD. This is a test that applies A.C. current through the diode via a suitable current-limiting and indicating type of resistance (a lamp!). If you stay under one ampere, this test is safe for even the small diodes of the diode board. Thus, I recommend TWO types of lamps.
Obtain TWO 12 or 14 volt lamps...a taillight run lamp (NOT brake lamp or turn signal lamp!) is fine for the small diodes, but you will want a more powerful lamp for testing the 6 large diodes...I suggest an old part-burned-out headlight lamp, either an old 12 volt sealed beam type or any 55/60 watt (even to 100 watts) headlight lamp, and a 6 to 12 volt transformer. DO NOT test the small diodes in the diode board with large lamps! A suitable transformer is Radio Shack #273-1352 (12.6 volts, 1.2 amperes) or, better, the # 273-1511 (12.6 volts, 3 amperes); or, appropriate other transformers. An old bell ringing transformer might be just fine. So also might be modifying leads for/on an old large bulb type desktop high intensity lamp unit...maybe with its own lamp! Use of large lamps will draw the voltage down from the small transformers, and burn the transformer out if left lighted for any longish period of time, but you will be using the setup only for moments at a time. The 3 ampere transformer is safer in this respect.
If making from scratch you can purchase a socket with wires attached for tail lamps if you want to. Makes a neater setup, but not as neat as modifying an old desktop
high intensity lamp unit. You can just solder wires to the low-power lamp section of a run/brake lamp if the lamp is the
two-filament type. Nothing critical here....just do not pass over 1 ampere through the SMALL diode board diodes.
The lamp MUST be the type that pulls a bit of current, and very broadly maybe half an amp to an ampere is OK for the small diodes. A few amperes or even more, is OK for testing JUST the 6 large diodes.
I test the six LARGE diodes using an old sealed-beam headlamp bulb (one side of which is burned out and I kept the lamp for this purpose). You can get one from a wrecking/salvage yard from very old cars. I use a transformer of several amperes, it being ideal for the 6 large diodes and for the small diodes too.
DO NOT test the small diodes with the
higher powered lamp. The BRAKE lamp or section of the tail lamp that has the braking
section, is NOT safe for the SMALL diodes. This also applies
to turn signal lamps,
which also draw too much current.
You can also make a two-in-one tester. Get a new run and brake lamp, such as the type 2257 or 2157, or 7528. These lamps have a TWO filaments, one is low powered (generally ~8 watts, maybe 3/4 of an ampere at most) for the RUN section; and 21 or 27 watts (roughly 2 amperes) for the high power BRAKE section. The pins are OFFSET, that is, staggered, so the lamp will plug into the socket (autoparts stores have sockets for them WITH WIRES) in only one direction. The high power section is OK to test the diode board big diodes, and the low power section is OK for testing the low power diodes in the diode board. YOU must identify the leads so you do not mix up the sections. You will have two wires from the lamp, plus the lamp shell wire. You use the lamp shell wire (make up a wire if not so equipped) and one or the other of the two lamp wires.
Headlight lamps will allow about 4 or 5 amperes using a 12 volt output transformer, for the common 55/60 watt lamp.
With whatever lamp you are using, connect the single lamp filament you wish to use in SERIES with the transformer low voltage secondary winding, that leaves two wires for testing the diodes, one diode at a time.
1. When the wires from your transformer & lamp are touched together, the lamp will light up brightly.
2. It will be dimmed to roughly half brilliance when connected to a good diode.
3. The lamp will NOT BE LIT if the diode is faultily open.
4. The lamp will be brightly lit with a shorted bad diode.
Getting a nice set of test prods from Radio Shack, and making a nice little tester out of all this is a NICE idea.
If you also do an ohmmeter front to back ratio test (disconnect battery in the bike!) then it is highly unlikely you will have any sort of diode faults that you did not find.....unless the diodes fail at elevated temperature, which is quite rare.
The following sources have solid metal mounts for your diode board:
All mounts, rubber or the above all-metal aftermarket ones, are a bit of a
pain to install. Some tricks to it for the difficult starter motor side of the
mounts, but the modification is VERY worthwhile. Once you install metal
mounts, you will NOT have to remove them ever again, never have to
replace rubber ones, have longer diode board life; & you gain electrical
Installing the mounts is very easy if you are also doing a timing
chest/chain/sprockets/guides type of job. In any event, it IS worthwhile,
& highly recommended!!! There are some photos, etc., showing one way
of accessing the mounts on the above Thunderchild's website:
I highly recommend that the new metal mounts NOT be tightened down in the front NOR rearward areas until the diode board is pushed over the forward threaded area of the new mounts. Failure to follow this CAN result in a broken diode board mount area if you install the mounts first, and force the board on later. Tighten the rear screws or nuts, as case may be, tightly.
The grounding wires assemblies are a story in themselves:
In September of 1988, BMW Service-Information bulletin 12-012-88 (2323) came out, and covered complaints of:
a) diode board connections having solder melting
b) low battery charging rate
c) GEN lamp would glow around half intensity
That bulletin covered all boxer models FROM 1981, that had the electrostatic dip black coating on the timing chain case cover where that fits against the engine.
BMW said that increased resistance at the diode board grounding points, due to corrosion, ground wire connection deterioration; and, the exacerbating effect of the insulation from the paint at the diode board mounting points on the timing chain case, ETC. were the causes. BMW's fix was to remove the diode board & scrape away the paint from all 4 diode board mounts on the timing cover. Rubber mounted boards were to have the existing ground wires replaced if they looked corroded or overheated & those ground wires were to be SOLDERED at their lugs. They also recommended cleaning the paint from the cover around bolt heads for the ground terminals, etc. I have seen many models after 1981 without that coating! STILL, the bulletin does apply...as far as it went.
In October 1993, another BMWNA SI came out, this time it was 12-019-93 (2611). This bulletin supposedly covered all boxer models from 1980, EXCEPT R1100 models (obviously, there were no R1100 models to say no to, for the prior bulletin). THIS DATE OF MODELS 'FROM 1980' IS WRONG!....BMW made no mention of the 1979 model, which had the same setup, but the BOSCH board was used. The Bosch-labeled boards MOSTLY did NOT have the bent lead problems...but, see earlier. NOTICE however, that it makes NO difference about the boards HERE. The bulletin SHOULD have said 1979 onwards...and, the bulletin also forgot that BMW changed back the type of mounts in 1992 (I think it was 1992, some may have been later).
Well...that may be confusing, but OK, as another bulletin supersedes that one! But, you will still need this second bulletin information, ... so...here is the information for this October 1993 bulletin:
COMPLAINTS: diode board grounding wires getting hot, stiff, solder melting, melted insulation; alternator output falls below 13.2 volts.
CAUSE: increased resistance at the diode ground points due to corrosion of the ground wires and bolts.
REMEDY: install ADDITIONAL ground "wire" 12-31-1-468-013.
That 'wire' is really a three wire 'spider' arrangement, one end of each connecting to a common lug. That means this harness that has 4 lugs total. This entire assembly was to be installed such as to tie the diode board, timing case cover, and the engine housing, all together, electrically.
The second page of this bulletin listed the above wire, a hex bolt 07-11-9-913-015 (an error, it really should be 07-11-9-914-148); an allen bolt 07-11-9-901-023 (should be 07-11-9-919-792); two washers 07-11-9-931-029 (see next paragraph); and finally, a 'cap' 46-62-1-453-668.
Regarding the 5.5 mm flat washers, number 07-11-9-931-029: I have seen
ONLY black colored washers. These do NOT conduct electricity well.
That was fine, as they were in the KIT for use at the LOWER, electrically
hot from ground two mounts, & were to compensate for the thickness of
the wire lugs of the grounding wires at the top mounts. The diode board
fit OVER these lugs/washers/mounts. Under no circumstances use these
black washers at the top studs, on the underside of the board, nor by
mistake as a washer at the nuts. You MAY not even want to use these washers
on the lower studs as specified in the kit instructions. The reason is a
bit subtle & not easy to notice. The diode boards are NOT made the same,
although they look similar, & I mean Wehrle versus Bosch. LOOK at your
diode board UNDERside, & if the distance from the aluminum heat sink to
the rivet end is the same for the two heat sinks, then you need the washers
at the lower studs, they would go on first, before the board. If the lower,
insulated rivets measure slightly more height overall than the grounded
rivets, then just don't use washers. You will need at least a vernier or
something to measure the distance, as we are talking only a wee bit of
difference. If using washers, get shiny metal ones. The standard BMW
waverly washers are like that.
There was a sketch. I will describe where the connections are made, per BMW:
Facing the timing chest from the front of the motorcycle, the upper left & upper right diode board mounts were each a connection point for this 'wire assembly', & these wire connections were made onto the mounts.
NOTE!! This is in ADDITION to the already existing grounding wires at the top mounts, in the same position. Since there are now TWO lugs at each mount....this spaces the upper part of the diode board outward a tiny amount. The two washers in the kit were to be installed on the lower diode mounts to help equalize the spacing. SEE later note herein about those washers!!!
The hex bolt in the kit is used at the threaded area located directly below the large hole behind the diode board. The final connection is directly to the right of THAT...and the allen bolt in the kit is used there. This point is through the sort-of large elliptical hole in the timing chest...and this point where this last lug attaches is actually the inside engine case, the TRUE ground. Thus, everything is tied together & grounded to everything else. It is important to note that it is this last connection through that elliptical hole to the threads already available, that makes the REAL grounding of the diode board to the engine itself; and this is an important connection.
NOTE: It is a GOOD idea to use some grounding wires even if you have solid
mounts, as the outer timing chest does not, because of painted joint surfaces,
provide a perfect electrical ground to the engine. This is not something a
simple ohmmeter will show up.
In November of 1993, BMW came out with a REVISED S-I bulletin 12-019-93 (2611). NOTE that it has the same bulletin number(s). BMW carried forward the same 1979/1980 error. NOW, BMW is adding some additional 'causes'. Hot weather driving, city riding, low battery voltage, full fairings...yeah, riiight!! BMW now corrected the parts numbering errors...and made some additional errors! ...and, no, they have never fully corrected the 'corrected revised version'.
The information on the wire harness & connections is correct as I outlined them above. BUT, the -792 allen bolt now comes with a captive waverly washer; and, that M6 'cap' is not really needed...never really was anyway. You will want to GET a waverly washer for the -148 hex bolt, however.
The MAIN reason I am having all this background discussion here is that if you see something that looks strange in your timing chest outer area, you will know why...and if you see no such wires and you have rubber mounts, you will know of the modification. I HIGHLY advise folks to install METAL mounts if you do not have them. I also advise extra grounding of the two top diode mount screws, to the INNER WALL, that being the ENGINE wall....as described, in a bolt in the threads located in the elliptical hole.
NOTE 1: There MAY be an existing M6 x 15 hex bolt with a waverly washer at the position of the TRUE ground mentioned previously, so why not use it!
NOTE 2: I have seen some very minor differences between some stock bikes....maybe an extra washer found at a mount, that type of thing.
NOTE 3: If you have the solid aftermarket mounts, just about all in this mess of information is moot...except for the grounding wires, which MAY help. Moot?....well......if the diode board fitting & mounts are CLEAN of paint, corrosion, etc., ....& the timing chest & engine are making good electrical contact (can be assured by adding a couple of grounding wires),...then this automatically ties the diode board grounding top area to the timing chest & engine case. I like to have ONE wire from the diode board grounding metal to a lug fastened to the bolt, threaded into the hole in the case, as noted. SO, you do not have to purchase the BMW special grounding wires, you can make your own. The BMW ones ARE convenient though.
NOTE 4: It is LIKELY that the grounding wire
12-31-1-468-013 is no longer available.
NOTE 5: See http://bmwmotorcycletech.info/electricalhints.htm; item #1, for a lot of information on the diode boards.
Problems removing & replacing the diode boards & MOUNTS, tools, etc: Removing the starter
motor area cover (gas tank first, please) is obviously needed. Removing the
starter itself is not necessary. NEVER remove the starter cover without
disconnecting the battery first....otherwise it is sometimes possible to
short the starter solenoid terminal to ground, & cause serious sparks. NEVER remove the front cover of the engine without disconnecting the
battery first...that can also cause sparks...& destroy the diode board. Check
the starter motor and solenoid nuts...they need to be tight & the big cable wire lug properly positioned so it won't touch the cover when the cover is

I have previously mentioned http://thunderchild-design.com/miscstuff.html. You may, or may not, find that useful.
The nuts used on both ends of the rubber mounts, or the forward end of cast-in-place mounts, or both ends of aftermarket metal mounts, require an 8 mm wrench. In order to do this job properly, you WILL want the following tools, UNLESS you are totally removing the inner timing chest casting:
A small combination wrench ...open wrench at one end, box wrench, preferably 12 point, at the other end of 8 mm size. You take an oxy-acetylene torch (or?) & bend this wrench. SOME folks have used a small 1/4" drive 8 mm socket, & drive handle, etc., some modify those, some use a 1/4" universal U-joint adapter in using that socket & drive handle. Whatever YOU want. The bent wrench is to be used on the nuts on the starter motor side.
DO keep a wrench of some sort in your on-bike tool tray, that would enable
you to R/R the diode board, if it ever failed. You don't really need any special
tool to be in that tray for replacing the mounts...after all, you ARE now using metal
An idea for a removal-of-the-diode-board tool, besides the 1/4" 8 mm socket (perhaps ground a bit thinner) is as follows:
Obtain an 8 mm tubular wrench....really just a tube incorporating a very small diameter socket at one end & a wooden or plastic handle, often generically called a SpinTite wrench. Harbor Freight has these in sets, cheaply, and calls them Nut Drivers. Be sure to get the Metric set. Grind the end of the 8 mm tubular wrench so its diameter is smaller, yet still strong enough. It is also nice to grind the tip end a small amount so no INternal taper is in the working 8 mm area.
Medium length hemostat: you may well want one, I like the curved type, for the installation of the washer & nut for the solid mounts (on the starter motor side of the inner timing chest) (or, replacing the rubber ones with new rubber ones... if you are that stupid). Harbor freight has 12" long hemostats ("locking clamp pliers) for $7 or so, but they are not curved....but they do have a 10-1/2" curved type too....and it will work fine. I think you will prefer one of these, rather than offset long nosed pliers. This type of tool will enable you to start a screw, or nut, or washer, on the starter motor side of the timing chest. You may be using a screwdriver to hold the nut against the threaded post, with help of the locking clamp pliers...or, whatever wrench/hardware you will have. I usually use such a tool to install the washer too, but some folks glue the washer, then the nut, to their fingers (Crazy Glue). I sometimes have used a steel screwdriver I have temporarily magnetized, to touch-hold the nut, while I try to get it started on the threads on the starter motor side of the mount.
When trying to install the nuts & washers for the solid mounts, they tend to fall down into engine cavities. They do NOT fall into the real insides of the engine, but may be out of sight in the cavity you will see. Thus, having a mechanics magnetic wand is a nice tool to have. You can get one at Harbor Freight. This is one of the reasons for folks gluing washer & nuts to fingertips, tools, using of small magnetized screwdrivers....ETC! BUT, there is always the chance of some hardware falling....and the magnetic wand is VERY handy...so, get one!
For the METAL mounts, I recommend that you NOT ONLY use shiny metal waverly washers on the INside starter motor side, but ALSO have a wee drop of Loctite blue on the threads.

The Great Food Truck Race Miami Finale Airs Sunday
Lime vs. Hodge Podge. Who won?
Laine Doss
We know who wins The Great Food Truck Race, hosted by Tyler Florence. We were there during the final moments when finalists Lime Truck, from Irvine, California, and Hodge Podge, from Cleveland, Ohio, were in a heated, neck-and-neck race to the finish.
At stake: $100,000 and the title of Greatest Food Truck. The losing truck drives home alone -- broken and beaten -- while the winner basks in the Florida sun with a nice check.
Though Short Order knows the winner (and has exclusive outtake footage), the show's producers asked that we not disclose that top-secret information. So watch Food Network this Sunday at 9 p.m. to find out the outcome; then first thing Monday morning, tune in to Short Order for some candid photos and insight into what really went on behind the scenes.
In the meantime, catch up with what happened in Miami by reading our moment-by-moment, in-depth coverage of the trucks' final weekend battle in Miami.

The Minnesota Vikings have also had encouragement from the bookmaker, despite losing the long serving Randy Moss, with odds coming in to 14-1. Moss doesn't seem to be inspiring the punters as his new team Oakland have been pushed out to 38-1 since his arrival.
"Randy Moss is a great player, but the current betting sentiment seems to suggest that fans don't believe he can lead a team to victory. As for the Eagles, it just looks like Owens might be too much of a distraction and fewer fans are taking a chance on them," said Peter Childs, from Sportsbook.com. "On the other hand, we've seen some bets coming in on the Dolphins now that Ricky Williams is back in the fold. We've improved their odds to 70-1 from 100-1."

Wesley Snipes goes to prison to serve a 3-year sentence
On Thursday, Wesley Snipes took the path of a minimum security facility in Pennsylvania to serve his sentence for tax evasion. The actor was sentenced to three years in prison.
According to TMZ, Snipes arrived at the high-ranking Federal Correction Institution McKean in Lewis Run, Pennsylvania.
"He surrendered a short time ago and is now inside the facility. He'll go through an orientation process and will begin serving his sentence," said Ed Ross, a Federal Bureau of Prisons spokesman.
Snipes's lawyer said he file legal documents seeking a review. The actor to file tax returns in 1999, 2000 and 2001, which is considered a misdemeanor.
Snipes was however acquitted of other more serious charges for fraud and conspiracy, which weighed against him.
In an interview with Larry King on Tuesday, Snipes blamed his former financial advisers. He also denied being part of a group of citizens who opposed taxes.
"We still have prayers out there. We still believe in miracles. So don't send me up the river yet," Snipes told Larry King Tuesday night.

Feedback is very helpful for making WarLight into a great game. Many of WarLight's features came from community feedback.
[edit] Your vote counts
WarLight uses a UserVoice forum to track feature additions or changes. There, players can vote on which features they'd most like to see added to WarLight.
Here's how it works: Everyone gets 10 votes. You can vote for features that you would like to see added to WarLight. So you can vote for 10 different features, or you can put multiple votes into a single feature if you really care about that feature. (Up to a max of 3 votes per feature)
You can take your votes back or move them around at any time. If a feature gets implemented, you also get your votes back and can put them towards something else.
IMPORTANT: You must use the same e-mail address on UserVoice.com that you use on WarLight.net. This is how the site knows you're the same person. If you use a different e-mail address, your votes will not be counted. This also means that if you change your WarLight e-mail address, you should also change your UserVoice e-mail.
[edit] Criteria for a new feature
While it would be great to implement every feature suggested, this simply isn't possible. There's no magic number of votes that a feature needs to get accepted; the point of voting is to see which features are most in-demand. This is also important to avoid design-by-committee syndrome, since sometimes trying to please everyone ends up pleasing no one.
Features are typically judged based on these criteria:
- How good of a fit the feature is for WarLight's theme and direction.
- How much effort the feature takes to implement and maintain.
- How many votes the feature gets (i.e. how in-demand it is).
- Additionally, sometimes a feature can get implemented just because it happens to fall into an area of code that is being worked on for something else.
[edit] UserVoice Multi-Ideas
A single idea on the UserVoice forum should generally contain a single idea/feature/improvement. Sometimes players create an idea that mentions multiple features. Doing this is not disallowed, however, it is risky, and may not get you what you want. A good example is the Tournament Overhaul idea, which calls for many features to be added to tornaments.
The advantage of creating a single idea with multiple features is that it appears more attractive to other voters. If any one of your features appeals to a player, they're likely to vote on it, and therefore you're likely to get more votes.
The problem comes when one or some of the features is implemented, but not all. After this is done, there's three options:
- Leave the idea as it is on UserVoice.
- Edit the idea to remove the features implemented, leaving the ones not implemented.
- Close the idea as Complete, even though some parts of it weren't implemented.
Number 1 clearly isn't a good option, as it would leave features up for voting that are completed.
Simply editing the idea isn't really appropriate either, since we don't know which of the features that the voters voted for. If most of them voted for the feature that was implemented, it doesn't make sense to carry their votes over to the rest of the features, as this would misrepresent their intentions and not give them their votes back.
Therefore, these ideas will just be closed as completed if any part of them is implemented. After this is done, everyone who voted for them will get their votes back. If the voters still desire a part of the idea that was not implemented, they can create a new idea specific to that part, and put their freshly acquired votes into that one one.

Larsen C Continues to Unravel
July 21, 2017
Click above for larger.
On July 12 2017, data from the Sentinel-1 satellite confirmed the calving from the Larsen C Ice Shelf of Iceberg A68, a slab of ice 5,800 km in area and weighing more than 1 trillion tonnes. New Sentinel-1 interferometry data from July 18 now shows how the remaining ice shelf is responding to the calving event.
Rifts (dark curving lines in the image), already present before A68 detached, are still in evidence and show where further small icebergs will probably be created. In a further development, a new rift appears to be extending northwards (towards the top left) and may result in further ice shelf area loss. Although this new rift will probably soon turn towards the shelf edge, there may be a risk that it will continue on to Bawden Ice Rise, a crucial point of stabilisation for Larsen C Ice Shelf.
The MIDAS Project will continue to monitor the ongoing impact of these events on the Larsen C ice shelf. Further updates will be available on this blog, and on our Twitter feed.
Below, my recent interviews with Antarctic experts on this process.
New, and Old, Explainers on Temp Adjustments
July 19, 2017
Favorite hobby horse of deniers. Evil scientists adjust temperature measurements to suit their one-world-government agenda.
Reality more boring.
Fortunately, Berkeley Earth Alumnus Zeke Hausfather is one of our most lucid explainers.
Zeke Hausfather in Carbon Brief:
These adjustments have long been a heated point of debate. Many climate sceptics like to argue that scientists "exaggerate" warming by lowering past temperatures and raising present ones.
Christopher Booker, a climate sceptic writing in the Sunday Telegraph in 2015, called them "the greatest scientific scandal in history". A new report from the rightwing US thinktank, the Cato Institute, even claims that adjustments account for "nearly all the warming" in the historical record.
But analysis by Carbon Brief comparing raw global temperature records to the adjusted data finds that the truth is much more mundane: adjustments have relatively little impact on global temperatures, particularly over the past 50 years.
In fact, over the full period when measurements are available, adjustments actually have the net effect of reducing the amount of long-term warming that the world has experienced.
Raw data shows more global warming
Land and ocean temperatures are adjusted separately to correct for changes to measurement methods over time. All the original temperature readings from both land-based weather stations and ocean-going ships and buoys are publically available and can be used to create a "raw" global temperature record.
The figure below shows the global surface temperature record created from only raw temperature readings with no adjustments applied (blue line). The red line is the adjusted land and ocean temperature record produced using adjusted data from the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), with the difference between the two in grey.
Mr. Putin, we do not have Gulags here.
Stand by. A wave is coming that will be larger than you can understand.

Joel Clement was director of the Office of Policy Analysis at the U.S. Interior Department until last week. He is now a senior adviser at the department's Office of Natural Resources Revenue.
I am not a member of the deep state. I am not big government.
I am a scientist, a policy expert, a civil servant and a worried citizen. Reluctantly, as of today, I am also a whistleblower on an administration that chooses silence over science.
Nearly seven years ago, I came to work for the Interior Department, where, among other things, I've helped endangered communities in Alaska prepare for and adapt to a changing climate. But on June 15, I was one of about 50 senior department employees who received letters informing us of involuntary reassignments. Citing a need to "improve talent development, mission delivery and collaboration," the letter informed me that I was reassigned to an unrelated job in the accounting office that collects royalty checks from fossil fuel companies.
I am not an accountant — but you don't have to be one to see that the administration's excuse for a reassignment such as mine doesn't add up. A few days after my reassignment, Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke testifiedbefore Congress that the department would use reassignments as part of its effort to eliminate employees; the only reasonable inference from that testimony is that he expects people to quit in response to undesirable transfers. Some of my colleagues are being relocated across the country, at taxpayer expense, to serve in equally ill-fitting jobs.
I believe I was retaliated against for speaking out publicly about the dangers that climate change poses to Alaska Native communities. During the months preceding my reassignment, I raised the issue with White House officials, senior Interior officials and the international community, most recently at a U.N. conference in June. It is clear to me that the administration was so uncomfortable with this work, and my disclosures, that I was reassigned with the intent to coerce me into leaving the federal government.
On Wednesday, I filed two forms — a complaint and a disclosure of information — with the U.S. Office of Special Counsel. I filed the disclosure because eliminating my role coordinating federal engagement and leaving my former position empty exacerbate the already significant threat to the health and the safety of certain Alaska Native communities. I filed the complaint because the Trump administration clearly retaliated against me for raising awareness of this danger. Our country values the safety of our citizens, and federal employees who disclose threats to health and safety are protected from reprisal by the Whistleblower Protection Act and Whistleblower Protection Enhancement Act.
Removing a civil servant from his area of expertise and putting him in a job where he's not needed and his experience is not relevant is a colossal waste of taxpayer dollars. Much more distressing, though, is what this charade means for American livelihoods. The Alaska Native villages of Kivalina, Shishmaref and Shaktoolik are perilously close to melting into the Arctic Ocean. In a region that is warming twice as fast as the rest of the planet, the land upon which citizens' homes and schools stand is newly vulnerable to storms, floods and waves. As permafrost melts and protective sea ice recedes, these Alaska Native villages are one superstorm from being washed away, displacing hundreds of Americans and potentially costing lives. The members of these communities could soon become refugees in their own country.
Are Republicans Ready for Climate "Red Pill"?
July 19, 2017
Climate denial is a prison for your mind.
More on signs of reluctant awakening to climate threat and renewable solutions among Republicans. Are we seeing something analogous to the national turning on marriage equality of a few years back? or perhaps like what is happening in the Health care debate, where the once-deemed-radical idea of single payer seems to be emerging from the the smoking crater of Republican's repeal-and-replace plans?
The ongoing crisis in American democracy could, if properly managed, become a clarifying moment, if we survive it.
Dana Nucitelli compares current GOP process to Neo's choice in "The Matrix" – take the blue pill and remain asleep, or the red pill and wake up.
Dana Nucitelli in the Guardian:
In April, Trump's energy secretary Rick Perry ordered a 60-day study of the nation's electric gridto determine whether policies promoting renewable energy growth are undermining its stability by crowding out "baseload" power from sources that are always readily available (ie don't rely on intermittent wind or sunlight). Perry's memo specifically called out "regulatory burdens introduced by previous administrations that were designed to decrease coal-fired power generation." He put Travis Fisher in charge of the study, who previously worked for the fossil fuel-fundedInstitute for Energy Research, where he published a report calling renewable energy policies "the single greatest emerging threat" to the US power grid.
In short, it appeared as though the Trump administration was putting together a biased report to support its pro-coal agenda. But a draft of the report was leaked to Bloomberg, and it didn't follow the administration playbook. The report was drafted by career staffers at the Department of Energy, who are experts in the field and apparently didn't bow to any potential administration pressure for pro-fossil fuel conclusions. The draft is now under review by administration officials and may change as a result, but the leaked draft ensures that the public sees the experts' conclusions.
The report concluded that many recent baseload plant retirements "are consistent with observed market forces," often being taken out of commission due to "low natural gas price-based electricity prices, low electric demand, environmental regulations, state policies, and competition from renewables". Most of the coal and natural gas baseload plants that have retired are old, inefficient units that were no longer cost-effective. Increased energy efficiency has also curbed American electricity demand. The report concluded that environmental regulations and renewable energy subsidies "played minor roles" in accelerating baseload plant retirements compared to those other factors.
Most importantly, the draft report concluded that the electric grid remains reliable:
Most of the common metrics for grid reliability suggest that the grid is in good shape despite the retirement of many baseload power plants … The power system is more reliable today due to better planning, market discipline, and better operating rules and standards
The Age of Electric Vehicles Dawns
July 18, 2017
There is simply no credible way to address climate change without changing the way we get from here to there, meaning cars, trucks, planes and any other gas-guzzling forms of transportation. That is why it is so heartening to see electric cars, considered curios for the rich or eccentric or both not that long ago, now entering the mainstream.
A slew of recent announcements by researchers, auto companies and world leaders offer real promise. First up, a forecast by Bloomberg New Energy Finance said that electric cars would become cheaper than conventional cars without government subsidies between 2025 and 2030. At the same time, auto companies like Tesla, General Motors and Volvo are planning a slate of new models that they say will be not only more affordable but also more practical than earlier versions. And officials in such countries as France, India and Norway have set aggressive targets for putting these vehicles to use and phasing out emission-spewing gasoline and diesel cars.The technology is catching on faster than predicted, which is good news for the planet, and consumers.
The roar of the engine was replaced by a furious whirring as the future of motorsports came to Brooklyn.
Formula E took over part of the waterfront neighborhood of Red Hook on Sunday, the second of two race days for the Qualcomm New York City ePrix.
The Formula One-style, open-wheel cars reach speeds of 140 mph but only about 80 decibels, compared with 130 decibels for the cars with combustion engines. Instead of screaming down the straightaways the way F1 cars do, FE cars buzz like giant, steal hummingbirds. And they run clean and green.

Close is the eleventh month of the year in the Allansian Calendar.
It is the last month traditionally said to be in the season of Autumn and is so named because the land is now too cold for the growing of crops or much pasture and is thus "closed" to farmers.[1]

heart strings tugged-- vent
When I met my love almost three years ago he had recently gone through a tragic time loosing the mother of his handsome son. His son, our son, is turning 5 this year. I have watched him grow, learn, live. he wasn't but 1.5yrs old when his biological mother passed away, too young to actually remember. However, if that was my child i would still want them to know about me, so I talk to him about his other mother regularly. He knows he has a birth mother who carried him in her belly, and he has me. Last year we gave birth to a beautiful baby girl bringing our family to a family of 4. However our son has an older sister, that until the mother passed away had never known her biological father, now she lives with him. This past year we started getting her for school breaks and now for the whole summer. We love her so much and she is a part of our family. We dont use the word step mom or step kids in the house because to us thats not the case. The two older kids almost 8 and almost 5 just know that they are blessed to have more than one mom.
The problem that we are having now is that the older daughter asks me everyday if she can live with us. She says she never wants to go back to her daddy. Everyday i have to explain to her why we cant let her live here and how much her daddy would miss her too. It is heartbreaking having to tell her and her brother why she cant live with us and then listening to them cry and seeing the sad look in their eyes. Its not a situation where we believe she is being mistreated in anyway, i think its more being around her brother and of course little sister and a mother figure. Her wanting to stay with us is partially why until this past year her dad wasnt letting us have her any so its not like i can say anything to him. plus how would you even bring that up? She has some problems in school but when she stays with us and then goes back to school her dad tells us she does a lot better atleast for a little while.
I think my heart just has some strings being tugged when she talks about staying with us and there isnt anything i can do. thanks for reading my vent lol.

If we are honest, finding a speaker system for an iPod or iPad is not exactly hard. In fact there are thousands on the market so we can choose between high-end systems and low-end budget ones. So to catch the eye in a crowded space is something we must commend the stunning Beat Booster Wireless Boombox for.
This great looking speaker system combines uber cutting edge technology with a bit of nostalgia for years gone by. It would not have escaped the attention of some, but the Beat Booster Wireless Boombox takes its design cues from the classic boomboxes of the 1980s. Think of teenager carrying them on their shoulder, or John Cusack in "Say Anything" and you get the picture.
However this classic looking set packs a decidedly modern touch. Being wireless it can link with just about any modern digital device via Bluetooth while its simple elegance makes it ideal for music on the move or as a piece in your living room.

I already had nothing but respect for Lieutentant Smith. He serves our country and now he will be put in harm's way.
You may have noticed his avatar. I did as soon as he chose it. I immediately sent him a PM to say I loved it. I'm doing some research for a documentary on the Buffalo Soldiers. If he wants to he can tell you the incredible History of the man portrayed in his avatar. I am writing about another man and via PMs we have shared info we have found. Then he really blessed me in a way he will never know how much I appreciate. He put me in contact with one of the authors of a book I am using in my research. In other words, he is pure class.
Thank you sir, and come home safe.
My thoughts go with you brother.
Come back safe.
Be smart, be swift, be safe. Hurry home and Thank You.
Thanks for your service. Take care and get home safely.

Kroger Urging Shareholders to Reject TRC Capital's 'Mini-Tender' Offer
Retailer advising shareholders to rebuff TRC Capital's unsolicited "mini-tender" offer.
The Kroger Co. is urging its shareholders to reject tendering shares of an unsolicited "mini-tender" offer dated Jan. 23, 2009, by TRC Capital Corp. to purchase up to 3,000,000 shares of the retailer's common stock, which is less than one half of one percent of the outstanding shares.
A private Canadian investment company, TRC Capital's unsolicited "mini-tender" offer price of $24 per share is approximately 3.5 percent below the $24.87 per share closing price of Kroger's common stock on Jan. 22, 2009, the last trading day prior to the commencement of the offer.
Cincinnati-based Kroger is not affiliated in any way with TRC Capital, the offer, or the offer documentation.
TRC Capital has made many similar "mini-tender" offers for the shares of other companies. "Mini-tender" offers are designed to seek less than five percent of a company's outstanding shares, thereby avoiding many disclosure and procedural requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) because they are below the SEC's threshold to provide such disclosure and procedural protections for investors.
The SEC has cautioned investors about "mini-tender" offers in an investor alert. The SEC noted that these offers "have been increasingly used to catch investors off guard" and that many investors who hear about "mini-tender" offers "surrender their securities without investigating the offer, assuming that the price offered includes the premium usually present in larger, traditional tender offers."
Kroger is further advising shareholders to consult their financial advisors and exercise caution with respect to TRC Capital's offer. In addition, shareholders who have already tendered should consider the advisability of withdrawing their shares as permitted under TRC Capital's Offer to Purchase documents. The offer is currently scheduled to expire at 12:01 a.m. EST on Tues., Feb. 24, 2009.
Kroger operates stores under two dozen local banner names across the country.

Shrimp and Spaghetti Gratin
Recipe by American in Paris
From "La Bonne Cuisine--Cooking New Orleans Style". My husband's absolute favorite. Spicy(as you like) and cheesy.
Top Review by French Tart
The last in my trio of PAC recipes, and just as delicious as the other two I have made. I used raw prawns and also some mixed seafood that I had in the freezer. I cannot get Velveeta cheese in France - unless a friend from the USA sends me some, and the jury is out on whether we really like it anyway, from when we have tried it before, so I used grated Emmental cheese which made a great topping. Wonderful seasonings in this simple gratin dish and a wonderful way to dress up spaghetti! I served this with fresh lemon wedges and chopped fresh parsley - many thanks American in Paris, you have been a great little fishy for PAC! FT:-)
See Discussion:1 Review
Ingredients Nutrition
- 3 lbs raw shrimp, heads removed washed and drained for 1 hour
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 1⁄2-3 tablespoons black pepper (your preference)
- 1⁄2 teaspoon basil
- 1⁄2 teaspoon thyme
- 1⁄4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon barbecue seasoning
- 1 tablespoon parsley flakes
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 1⁄2 cups butter, cut in 1-inch slices
- 8 ounces cooked spaghetti
- 8 ounces Velveeta cheese, grated
Directions See How It's Made
- Spread shrimp evenly in large shallow baking pan. Mix herbs, spices and seasonings and sprinkle over shrimp. Add lemon juice, butter, and Worcestershire sauce. Bake uncovered in 350 degree oven for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Allow shrimp to cool before handling then peel and discard shells. Don't worry about losing the seasoning with shells, the remaining sauce will be spicy enough! Pour remaining sauce into a container with a lip. Spaghetti noodles can be placed in individual casseroles (4 or 6) or one large casserole dish. Arrange shrimp on the spaghetti and pour reserved sauce over mixture. Top casserole with grated Velveeta. Bake at 350 degrees until cheese is bubbly. Tres bon!

Hey, everyone; these are STRICTLY THEORIES.
Alright, so I've been wondering about Desmond a lot lately. He was normal, himself, and when he woke up from the flash-sideways, he was suddenly all calm and crap. But I didn't think anything of it ... until I saw more of his demeanor. He's all "what's the point in being afraid" and "hi, Monster Locke, you're my friend; of course you didn't bring me to a giant well to throw me in, that would be too predictable. Oh, my mistake, you actually did throw me in."
I have no problem with all this ... under two conditions: Answer the question as to why Des is all passive now---could it be connected to why Sayid shows no emotion? And someone please, please, PLEASE get him out of that well.
As for his mission---and I've said this somewhere before---he obviously knows a connection between the two time lines. I don't know how much he knows, but he does. So, having the manifest from Flight 815, he's "showing" them something, though I don't know what. It could be the whole deal with "remembering everything by love at first sight," which sounds like a plan. And I love Des, but why did he do what he did to the Sideways Locke? I know he had a logical explanation, I just need to know what. As for his conversation with Hugo, that was very inspirational.
Well, at least we got the "whispers" question answered, though I didn't really care and it was sort of obvious on its own. Oh, well. Still good to know.
I know I'm kind of rambling, here, but at least get what I'm trying to say: SHOW US WHY DESMOND IS SPECIAL AND WHAT THE FRIG HE'S DOING IN THE SIDEWAYS. Thanks.
Oh, yeah, by the way, at the end ... that new "Jack face." ... That was priceless.
