British motorcycle industry
After myself and 'Dodger' highjacked a previous thread I have started one here!. Looking back #14
on the ideas and statements that was banded about when the industry was crumbling around their ears was nothing short of a joke, a statement was made that ' motorcyclists like nothing better than to spend Sundays working on their motorcycles.....priceless! Dodger Gold Member Veteran HUBBer Join Date: Aug 2005 Location: BC, Canada Posts: 788 Quote: Originally Posted by dave ede Don't forget the British motorcycle industry, I have just about finished Bert Hopwood's book 'What ever happened to the British Motorcycle Industry'?

The book is still available on 'Amazon', well worth a read. Has anyone else read it(perhaps Dodger)? And what did you think of it? I seem to remember reading it a couple of winters ago , it pretty much spelled out what we suspected was happening to the bike industry in those days . I'll have to borrow it from my brother and read it again to refresh my memory ! I don't think Bert was right about his modular approach ,he was already outdated .The Brits should have been building lightning fast two strokes like the Japs [Yam and Kawa ] and behind the scenes building a DOHC superbike . Fast exciting bikes will sell ,the Japs had that sussed .But the Brits were still churning out the same old shit trying to tell us "what was good for us " like some self important Grammar School teacher . Crikey Edward Turner thought a 350 twin was going to be the saviour of the Brit bike industry -and this was during the period of the Honda 750 and the Kawasaki Z1 - give me strength ! But Britain was a funny place in the late sixties and seventies .Hell bent on self destruction and nobody gave a rat's arse ,they built some crap cars as well . I guess once a sucessful niche industry [ like motorcycles] is sold to a conglomerate ,the money men begin to run the show and the expert enthusiasts who founded and guided the company during it's formative years are pushed aside . Then the downward spiral begins . Look at what happened to Buell ,sacrificed by Harley .[Who are so entranced by their own Harley lifestyle bullshit that they cannot comprehend what motorcycling is all about .] It would have been far better for Eric Buell to buy back the company and produce real motorcycles in small numbers for enthusiasts . Buells were never really my cup of tea ,but I'm sad to see them go . But we still have a British Triumph ,John Bloor had a vision [and actually started off with a modular approach to bike engines ] [however that seems to have gone by the wayside ]. Triumph keep a keen eye on the market and produce bikes that sell . As long as they remain independent they will thrive . My apols for hijacking the thread . __________________ Blessed are the cracked, for they let in the light. - Spike Milligan

Its great that Triumph is actually beating the "Credit Crunch" regarding their sales...
As you say, Triumph are making bikes that WE actually want! Back in my yoof (late 70's) all I wanted was the fastest bike I could afford & legally ride - SUZUKI X7 - NOTE the period dress The Jap's did indeed realize that speed was a winning formula. Nowadays, the Government (Mr Brown should be had for TREASON in my book) are doing all they can to erradicate motorcycles so the yoof of today have zero encouragement to seek out 2 wheels |
Is that a Griffin helmet ?
Boy you were posh ! Sorry to hear that the Brit Gov is still anti bike . Can't be as bad as the days when you could be ,[ and often were ] ,thrown out of a pub for wearing a leather jacket and long hair .- Can it ? One thing that Ewan and Charley may do for us, is to lend an air of respectability to motorcycling and give the sport a broader appeal . How about a Long Way Up Down Sideways and around the Bend on the new rumoured Tiger Cub ? --- now that would be a coup for Triumph . Please Mr Bloor let it have a 21" front wheel and decent ground clearance .

Hi dodger, try asking anybody with a full UK bike licence what the criteria is for a newbie starting out to ride a bike, I bet not many could tell you! The gov are trying to make it as hard as possible to get into biking
A new Tiger cub in roumoured? not heard about that. Saw one of the old cubs for sale at an autojumble recently, nothing special, not even a trials model and the asking price was ........£3995,

Well spotted that man - It was YELLOW, but matt black had to do, until they did a darker colour in a "rattle-can"
Eventually though two of them broke ranks. My brother liked the look of the Triumph / BSA 350 and decided to trade in his Honda XL250 for one. The local dealer kept promising that they'd be here soon, just hang on. Eventually he gave up and bought a Suzuki 350, a really good bike that was virtually fault free for years until an accident wrote it off. A friend traded in his 250 Yamaha and bought a new Triumph Trident T150. This went back to the dealers so many times for repairs that they sent it back to the factory. The factory promptly went on strike (or a sit in or something) and the bike was stuck there. We were just about to leave on a trip to Greece so the dealer lent my friend a (very) low mileage Bonneville. I'd been trading up the Jap bike ranks and had just bought a new 650 Yamaha twin. The Bonnie and the XS2 were chalk and cheese. Total problems with the Yamaha - a side panel fell off when I didn't tighten the fixing bolt (sadly, a truck ran over it!). The Bonneville fell to bits. Badly designed, badly built and unreliable, its only good points were that it was about 5mpg more economical than the Yamaha and handled a bit better. Pictures here if you're interested My friend got the Trident back months later and used it for a Black sea trip the following year. It broke down in Romania and had to be recovered by the AA. Ever a glutton for punishment, these days he has a same era BSA Rocket 3 and "his n hers" matching early 70's 200cc Yamahas. The Yamahas are thrown in the back of his garage over the winter and with minimal maintenance, just work. I've never seen the BSA run. Last edited by backofbeyond; 28 Oct 2009 at 13:09.

Backofbeyond, That was not MY Quote
Seems to have been some sort of problem? Ah, just seen that it was after Dodger and I hi-jacked another thread, it was 'Dodgers' quote.
'He who laughs last, was too slow to get the joke' Never confuse the map with the journey. |
Oops, sorry if I got it wrong. I'm blaming the fact that I seem to have a bit of a blind spot when it comes to anything to do with the old British bike industry. Apologies and I'll see if I can correct it via the edit button
No big deal about the quote .
Interesting info there about the XS Yamaha ! The 650 Yam is one of bikings best kept secrets . Ignored by many , unglamorous compared to the 4 cylinder bikes available at the time , this bike however has a lot going for it . A very well built motor , SOHC , performance slightly less than a good Bonnie or a BSA LIghtning .The oil stayed inside and it didn't fall apart .But it did vibrate a bit and the handling was less than perfect . You can pick them up for a few hundred dollars , I have 4 : 3 runners and one parts bike .The weakest part of the bike is the alternator and electrics [ the Prince of Darkness didn't have it all his own way ] -- it's usually the reason the bike was parked and never used again . The engine was used for moto cross sidecar racing in Europe and for flat tracking in the US , so plenty strong . A replacement permanent magnet alternator is now available as is a modern reg/rectifier .If you can find one cheap - buy it ! The bike I always lusted after was the Norton Commando .The styling was up to date ,exhaust note incredible , performance and handling good and the adverts had those gorgeous girls sitting on the bikes !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But all I could afford was a Norton Atlas [750] which although it had the power and handling ,vibrated like a bastard and looked old fashioned . Post 1970 Triumphs and BSA twins had that horrible "oil in the frame" and were ugly courtesy of the "stylists" at Umberslade Hall . I could see right there that they had lost the plot .I rode a couple and was not impressed . Part of the problem with Brit bikes was that roads had improved so much that ,instead of ging along at 60 mph with the occasional blast for a short period at "the ton" ,we were able to cruise so much faster and expected so much more out of them . The modern Japanese OHC multis could cope , the overstressed pushrod twins couldn't . Even Norton had not woken up , they were still thinking about replacing the Commando engine with a twin .

I still have an XS2 - not the same one but a low mileage (8K) semi restored one that I bought a few years ago - and yes it didn't charge. Rewinding the rotor has sorted that out and all I need now is a set of original silencers for it. I know they're available from Mikes XS in Florida but I'd have to buy them from his Euro outlets at £1 = 1€ rather than at 1£ = 1.6$ so I've been waiting for the exchange rate to move in my favour. The way things are going it could take a while.
Back in 72/3 my budget wouldn't run to a CB750 and at the time I was looking the Z1 was still over the horizon. I was trading up from a 450 Honda and wanted something for long distance two up eurotouring. I'd shortlisted three bikes - Suzuki 500 twin, 550 triple and the XS2. Nothing British. The Jap stuff looked like the future had arrived early, the British stuff looked like it was being sold off as war surplus. That's how it appeared to me anyway at the time. I eventually went with the XS2 as I thought the Suzi 500 underpowered after a quick ride on a borrowed one and Suzuki had brought in a new (disc braked) version of the 550 at a new higher price that I couldn't afford. It's strange how you remember these things though as I thought the XS2 a big bike at the time - physically big that is. These days it looks tiny. My current one is much smaller and lighter than either of my 600 single trail bikes. The marketing approach of "catch em young" certainly worked. Years earlier when I was puttering around on an old Lambretta a friend bought a very early Yamaha 100cc twin. Seeing it scream its way up the road converted us. In short order we went through a Yamaha AS1 125, a Suzuki T200, a Yamaha YDS6 250, a Honda CB77 300, a Suzuki T350 and a Honda CB450. Nothing British. What would I have bought anyway? A Bantam? The only person I knew with one of those was the class oddball. The Commando did have a certain hairy chested appeal but I'm afraid it got tarred with the same brush. In fact I do remember seeing a couple of them at my local dealer that looked like they'd been literally tarred with a brush. That was never going to appeal to nice middle class girls. At least the XS2 looked bright and shiny. |
I think my years on a Bonnie have shaken something loose in my head, for I now own 2 Enfield based Diesel bikes and am considering the new 500cc unit construction EFI Enfield C5 classic.
I did find though that 'I met the nicest people on the side of the road whilst broken down'
'He who laughs last, was too slow to get the joke' Never confuse the map with the journey. |
Hmmmm, I had an XS650, back in the late 70's.... Pile of pooh compared to the rest of the Jap Multi's... Too sluggish and ponderous
But my latest bike, just finished this summer.... I had all the usual Jap stuff (RD's - 250 &400, GT's 250, 550 & 750, couple of Bonnies, BSA A65, Z900, DT175.. etc), and now-a-days have a couple of Kawasaki Z1000's (early air cooled), a TTR600 and the Bonnie/Trophy 650 above. The Trumpet is the bike that puts the Biggest smile on my face - everytime I ride it |
Pigford, What a nice looking bike, am sure it goes as good as it looks. I have never owned Jap multies, had CB 175 & 350 and small (125) Jap stuff for commuting, rest of the time Bonnies, Guzzis and BMWs, oh and 1 Commando.
'He who laughs last, was too slow to get the joke' Never confuse the map with the journey. |
xs2 silencers are $384 Canadian for a pair from Mike's XS in Canada .
Which seems a daft price to spend , I suggest autojumbles and flea bay , or some reverse cone meggas ,[which are v loud - but nice !!!!!].

Thats what I whacked on my XS650 - as per photo - they were called "Chop-pots" back in the late 70's and I got them from a Brit Bike shop in Portsmouth, South Coast UK |

Science Reasoning Center - 1-D Kinematics
There are three 1-D Kinematic passages that target students' science reasoning abilities. They are ...
17 Questions
This passage includes a description of a ball tossed upward into the air. The description includes a dot diagram, a position-time graph, and a velocity-time graph. Questions target a student's ability to extract meaningful data from diagrams and graphs, to interpret graphs, and to make connections between the diagrams and graphs.
Velocity-Time Graph
9 Questions
This passage describes four different experiments involving the use of a motion detector and the resulting velocity-time graphs. Ten different types of motion (fast, slow, movement towards and away from the detector, constant speed, changing speed, etc.) are contrasted in the experiments. Questions target a student's ability to interpret data, to compare and contrast the results of the various experiments, to use the results of the experiments to evaluate the validity of a conclusion, to identify the supporting evidence for a conclusion, and to reason towards appropriate conclusions when given the findings of an experiment.
Stopping Distance
11 Questions
This passage presents data regarding the relationship between reaction time, car speed, reaction distance, braking distance, and total stopping distance. The data is presented in the form of a bar chart and a data table. Questions target a student's ability to recognize and use numerical patterns, to select relevant data from a graph or table, to combine information from two or more data presentations to answer questions, and to interpolate and extrapolate using the provided data.
On the Resource CD:
A Resource CD is being prepared to assist classroom teachers in using this section of the website more effectively within their classrooms. The Physics Classroom plans to release the CD during the spring semester or the summer of 2013.
The 1-D Kinematics section of the CD will include five different passages, including these three passages. The passages are accompanied by questions, answers with thorough explanations, and a table that associates each question with a specific science reasoning skill (or college readiness standard). Each passage includes considerably more questions than those presented here in the Science Reasoning Center. In addition to PDF files, the information on the CD is also available as Microsoft Word files, allowing teachers the ability to pick and choose questions from the large bank of questions associated with each passage.
More information about the CD can be found at the Resource CD page.

Post-stroke mobility important for health
Not "getting out and about" as much as wanted is significantly associated with poor self-rated health in older people with stroke, suggesting that addressing social integration and mobility out of the home is an important element of rehabilitation.
Independent risk factors predict falls
Elderly individuals with reduced mobility, heart dysfunction or nocturia are at higher risk for falls, suggesting that rehabilitation of musculoskeletal disorders, close monitoring of risk medications, and restriction of diuretics may help reduce falls in this population.
Gender-specific bone density changes
The rate and timing of loss in grip strength, balance and gait is similar in both sexes, aged 60 years and over, however women show an increased rate of annual forearm bone mineral density loss.
Predictors of survival after CPR
Age is not the only predictor of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) success in the elderly, following cardiac arrest, with nursing home residency and pre-arrest comorbidity being associated with decreased chances of survival.

Thoughts on the AP Poll: Week 6
By virtue of their 79-69 victory of Michigan on Tuesday in the ACC/Big 10 Challenge and losses from the teams above them, the Blue Devils (7-2) rose two spots and are now No. 8. Duke showed a much more balanced attack against the Wolverines (6-3) and much more defensive tenacity led by senior guard Tyler Thornton and freshman guard Matt Jones, who frequently kept Michigan's leading scorer, Nik Stauskas, from even catching the ball. With the loss, the Wolverines fell out of the rankings after being ranked 22nd last week and will look to get healthy before a home contest against No. 1 Arizona (9-0) on Saturday.
Jekyll and Hyde for the Tar Heels
A roller-coaster month of basketball for North Carolina (5-2) culminated in a strong, balanced 79-65 road victory at then-No. 1 Michigan State (7-1). North Carolina now has quality wins against the Spartans and No. 6 Louisville (8-1) and bad losses to Belmont and UAB in the last four weeks, and rose to No. 18 after being unranked last week after their latest triumph. The Spartans fell four spots and are now No. 5 after a disappointing home performance. The Tar Heels helped keep the ACC/Big 10 Challenge a 6-6 tie and host No. 11 Kentucky (7-2) on Saturday—can anyone guess what Roy Williams' squad will do next?
Wildcats mauled by Bears
In the first headliner of the Big 12/SEC Challenge, Baylor (8-1) took down Kentucky 67-62, using a gritty second-half performance to earn the win at Cowboys Stadium. The Wildcats (7-2) were held to 24 second-half points and unable to match Baylor's physicality down the stretch. With the loss, Kentucky fell eight spots and is now No. 11 after being ranked third last week. With their triumph, the Bears got a much-needed quality win after a runner-up finish in the Maui Invitational and rose six spots to check in at No. 14 this week.
Jayhawks Stunned: Part II
After suffering a defeat to Villanova in the semifinals of the Battle 4 Atlantis on a late 3-pointer, the Jayhawks (6-2) lost another heartbreaker, falling 75-72 at Colorado on a buzzer-beating 3-pointer by Buffalo guard Askia Booker, who eluded multiple Jayhawk defenders before swishing the 30-foot trey and getting swarmed by teammates and fans. The Buffaloes (9-1) jumped into the rankings with their triumph, checking in at No. 21 and the Jayhawks fell seven spots and are now No. 13 after being ranked sixth last week. Bill Self's squad appears to have taken a step back after their triumph over Duke at the Champions Classic in Chicago.

Mar 10, 2009 01:10 PM | 3
BOSTON (March 10, 2009) -- None too surprisingly, the business and financial communities generally foresee a continued slump in capital investment for most segments of green technology—although the energy sector may do relatively well. That seemed to be the message emerging from a survey of more than 300 venture capitalists, executives, entrepreneurs and bankers conducted over the past two months by KPMG, reported here last night at the GoingGreen East meeting.
(Scientific American is a partner with the AlwaysOn network in presenting the meeting, which is the first East Coast edition of an event held twice before in California.)
According to Ed Sullivan, a partner at KPMG, 56 percent of those surveyed believed that VC capital investment in 2009 would be lower than in 2008. Furthermore, 59 percent expected that the ongoing global credit crisis would lead to a decrease in investment in green technologies.
However, when asked which greentech sectors would probably receive the most capitalization over the next two years, those surveyed indicated that they expected more than two-thirds of investment to be about evenly split between renewable fuels and technologies for energy storage and improved efficiency.
Some winners may also emerge on the basis of geography. Forty-seven percent of the respondents expected the western U.S. to receive the most funding for green technologies, which was a clear plurality. On the other hand, most other regions of the nations also received clear votes of confidence. Similarly, the business leaders expected that outside the U.S., Asia would be likely to attract the most capital for green tech development, but the remainder seemed fairly evenly distributed around other regions.
Ninety percent in the survey expected to see more federal funding for greentech initiatives and 94% expected to see more public-private partnerships. (Given the recently passed stimulus package, those predictions are all but assured.) And 44 percent believed that wind or solar energy would be the predominant clean energy source in 20 years, although other clean-air technologies had their own strong followings, too. (And as Sullivan half-jokingly pointed out, 11 percent seemed to be holding out for some mysterious unnamed technology.)
Expectations for carbon trading were also clearly very mixed: 44 percent expected to see an increase in carbon trading, but an almost equally large group (42 percent) seemed to think it would stay about the same.

Coal is putting over 35 trillion pounds of CO2 per year into our atmosphere. Everything else we worry about from a pollution standbpoint is a waste of our time. Energy savings are fun but totally inconsequential. We must quit using coal.
Yes we need to start using nuclear energy. I heard an intersting fact on KGO radio. Dr. Bill Wattenburg stated that 10% of Northern California's energy is generated by one power plant in Diablo canyon. 24% of all of California's energy is supplied by Nuclear energy. I don't remember how many nuclear power plants are in California, I think 3.

Rising Seas Endanger Wetland Wildlife
For scientists in a remote corner of coastal North Carolina, ignoring global warming is not an option
- By Abigail Tucker
- Photographs by Lynda Richardson
- Smithsonian magazine, July-August 2010, Subscribe
When a buttermilk moon rises over Alligator River, listen for red wolves. It's the only spot in the world where they still howl in the wild. Finer boned than gray wolves, with foxier coloring and a floating gait, they once roamed North America from the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico. By the mid-1970s, because of overhunting and habitat loss, just a few survived. Biologists captured 17 and bred them in captivity, and in 1987 released four pairs in North Carolina's Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge.
Today more than 100 red wolves inhabit the refuge and the surrounding peninsula—the world's first successful wolf reintroduction, eight years ahead of the better-known gray wolf project in Yellowstone National Park. The densely vegetated Carolina refuge is perfect for red wolves: full of prey such as white-tailed deer and raccoons and practically devoid of people.
Perfect, except it may all be underwater soon.
Coastal North Carolina is more vulnerable than almost anywhere else in the United States to sea-level rise associated with climate change, and the 154,000-acre Alligator River refuge could be one of the first areas to go under. A stone's throw from Roanoke Island, where the first English colony in North America was established in the 1580s, it's a vibrant green mosaic of forest, piney swamp and salt marsh. I've seen a ten-foot alligator dreaming on a raft of weeds, hundreds of swallowtail butterflies rising up in giddy yellow spirals and scores of sunbathing turtles. The refuge has one of the highest concentrations of black bears on the East Coast. It is home to bobcats and otter and a haven for birds, from great blue herons to warblers to tundra swans. Most of it lies only about a foot above sea level.
Scientists at Alligator River are now engaged in a pioneering effort to help the ecosystem survive. Their idea is to help shift the entire habitat—shrubby bogs, red wolves, bears and all—gradually inland, while using simple wetland-restoration techniques to guard against higher tides and catastrophic storms. At a time when many coastal U.S. communities are paralyzed by debate and hard choices, such decisive action is unusual, if not unique.
"We're on the front line here," says Brian Boutin, a Nature Conservancy biologist leading the Alligator River adaptation project. "We're going to fight [sea-level rise] regardless. But it matters whether we fight smart or fight dumb."
Sea level has been increasing since the peak of the last ice age 20,000 years ago, when the glaciers began melting. The rise happens in fits and starts; in the Middle Ages, for instance, a 300-year warming period sped it up slightly; starting in the 1600s, the "Little Ice Age" slowed it down for centuries. But scientists believe that the rate of rise was essentially the same for several thousand years: about one millimeter per year.
Since the Industrial Revolution, however, the burning of fossil fuels has increased the amount of carbon dioxide and other gases in the atmosphere, which trap the earth's reflected heat—the now familiar scenario called the greenhouse effect, the cause of global warming. The rate of sea-level rise around the world has tripled over the past century to an average of about three millimeters a year, just over a tenth of an inch, because of both melting glaciers and the expansion of water as it warms.
In 2007, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change predicted seven inches to two feet of global sea-level rise by 2100. Some scientists, however, think it will be more like six feet. Such wildly varying predictions are the result of huge unknowns. How much of the gargantuan ice sheets in Greenland and West Antarctica will melt? How will human populations affect greenhouse gas emissions? Will ocean currents change? Will the water rise steadily or in spurts?

Re Gerald Hogan's comment of the fourth of July: The doubts are being generated for good reason. Sea-Levels look like they will be falling after the mid 2030s (if you google "Toucan Equations" and read FAQ 11 and below, you'll get an idea as to whats really happening!).
There are too many "ulterior motives" (mostly tax and revenue acquisition driven) that cloud (PI) the science discussion. Better to just look at the data - raw, unadjusted, un-modeled, and un-manipulated, to see whats actually going on.
Posted by Tom Wysmuller on February 22,2011 | 01:09 PM
In reviewing my July 6, 2010 post, I used "mm" when "cm" was appropriate. Seas are rising at 3 cm (30mm) per decade, and the rate of rise is decreasing, mainly to ice and snow accretion in Antarctica, Greenland, and (seasonally) North America and Asia/Eurasia. The "Toucan Equations©" (just Google it) have just been updated and confirm the decline in rate of rise.
At this "rate" (couldn't resist), sea-levels will begin FALLING in the mid 2030s. More than 600 satellite acquired data points (all of them) over 17 years are involved in the calculation. Coastal sinking of aquifer depleted land should be the main focus here, not sea-level rise which by mid century will be falling.
Posted by Tom Wysmuller on January 13,2011 | 05:27 PM
The comments to date are mostly disappointing. The article says where the water for sea level rise will come from--the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets. The article also recognizes that we really don't know how high waters will rise. The fact is, though, that sea levels are rising and we are generally ignoring the problem to the very great detriment of our children and grandchildren.
Posted by Bill Davis on December 13,2010 | 11:43 AM
Thank you to the scientists who are trying to protect the refuge. I would warn you that the projected rise in sea level is conservative - be ready for something higher than 1-6' in the next 90 years. The naysayers above are not looking at the big picture (which is far bigger than the relatively minor effects of carbon dioxide). We're looking at the possibility of a snowballing effect that would lead to an increased rate of sea level rise.
Posted by Glenn McGrew on November 2,2010 | 06:32 AM
NASA and Wikipedia and most place I visit say 3mm/year.
Posted by Steve Case on July 12,2010 | 07:06 PM
That "bald cyprus" being planted is a very rare tree, but with wondrous powers to stem ocean rise and land subsidence. It is much better than the standard everyday bald cypress.
Obviously the 6-foot sea level rise will not come as an order-of-magnitude increase in the annual rate of sea level rise. It will come as one or two sudden jumps right at the end of the century.
I think these folks are doing a pretty good job at restoration of the area. Too bad someone thought putting out a propaganda piece on global warming would jazz it up.
Posted by Bob Greene on July 7,2010 | 09:34 AM
I grew up idolizing the Smithsonian. What a shame to see it reduced to peddling this global warming rubbish.
Posted by Bob D on July 7,2010 | 04:01 AM
Since 2006, sea level has risen at the rate of 3mm per DECADE, not per year, as recorded by NASA's Jason satellite data. A look at "Toucan Equations" (Google it), section 2 and 11 through 16 gives you a broader look at the process.
The popular "2 to 4 feet" by the end of this century will be looked at utter foolishness within a decade. It is best to leave that bandwagon sooner rather then later.
Posted by Tom Wysmuller on July 6,2010 | 06:42 PM
The article said:
"In 2007, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change predicted seven inches to two feet of global sea-level rise by 2100. Some scientists, however, think it will be more like six feet."
In order for sea level to rise to 6 feet about (1.83 meters) in 100 years, the rate would have to increase from the current 3 mm/yr to over 18 mm/yr starting right now in order to attain that level. Obviously that's not going to happen. If over 100 years sea level were to steadily increase in rate by a little over 0.3mm/yr that is 3mm/yr in 2000 and 3.3026mm/yr in 2001 and 3.6052mm/yr in 2002 and so on, by 2100 sea level will have gone up about 1.83 meters and in that last year, 2099, it will have to have been rising at a rate of over 33 mm/year or better than 10 times the rate it is today.
The IPCC tells us most of the rise will come from thermal expansion with additional rise from land ice and scaled-up ice sheet discharge. Where is the energy going to come from 100 years from now to heat all the ocean water and melt all that ice to achieve a 33mm/yr rise? That's over 10 times today's rate. Where's that energy going to come from?
Posted by Steve Case on July 6,2010 | 03:17 PM
It's "bald cypress," not "bald Cyprus."
The writer got it wrong in the text and the caption writer may not have known better. One is left with a certain disappointment in the editorial cycle if nothing else.
Posted by David Draper on July 6,2010 | 10:29 AM
The seas will rise 32 inches? Where does all that water come from? Sea ice melting won't raise the sea level, the amount of frozen water on land doesn't seem sufficient. It's claims like this that generate doubts about global warming.

Putting 2 post graduate students at Oxford who each come with terrible baggage and connecting them by the "loo" was very clever. Hard to imagine how one of them was a germophobe with OCD (Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder) who spent hours cleaning (Gloria) and the other (Henry) was a dirty slob who often didn't change his clothes for days. Bringing them together with the Van Morrison music was such a clever idea. Finding out about Gloria and Henry and their history as the story goes along kept you wanting more and hoping that there was some way they could work out their problems. This book should appeal to everyone. It's different and quite special.
I would definitely recommend "Oxford Messed Up" to friends and to book groups.
Henry and Gloria are people I could like. I was thrilled when they could be happy. I even developed a special fondness for Oliver. I hope my book club will pick this book!

How much of our wardrobe could we give away and still have more than two weeks without wearing the same outfit? And what is more we have access to the Word of God, in written, electronic, visual, and audio formats for us to know God and His life-giving ways!
We need not feel ashamed for having abundance but we should be ashamed if we are not grateful for you. Are we living with the attitudes: "Freely we have received, freely give" (Matt. 10:8) and "It is more blessed to give than to receive" (Acts 20:35)?
God has blessed us and wants to bless us even more for two reasons: 1) because He loves us so much! 2) so we can be a blessing to others.
Both of those reasons are cause for thanksgiving! No one loves us more than our Creator/Redeemer. His love never fails; it never gives up on us! Besides that He want to use us to bring His love to others – to bless them! What a privilege to be invited to partner with God in sharing with people what they need most! His love, indicators of His love! As the hymn writer wrote, "He live to bless me with His love!"
God, Who has blessed us so in the past, will be our help for the days to come. The Psalmist encourages us to remember the Lord's invitation, "Call upon Me in the day of trouble and I will deliver you and you shall glorify Me!" (Ps. 51:15) Do you need help with a decision? Do you need help to love someone who is presently acting quite unlovable? Is it help forgiving? Is it a need for physical/material provision? Ask God! "We have not because we ask not!" ( James 4:2) But please do not "spend it on your pleasures"! (James 4:3)
Ask God for what you need and want – to help others come to know His salvation through faith in Jesus! Ask yourself, "Who needs my help?" Then trust God to lead you and equip and supply you with what they need.
It is to our Father's glory: that we bear much "fruit", that is to (demonstrate Christ-like character and draw people to Jesus! Since Jesus lives in us and we are connected to Him, as the branches to the Vine, we can do it – be fruitful and multiply!
For the King and His Kingdom!
In Jesus peace and love, Pastor Paul Koehn

What Marketing/Analytics Can Learn from Mythbusters Tim Wilson, Partner

TMS Best Practices: Get the Data Layer Right Josh West, Partner

The problem with "Big Data" ... Eric T. Peterson, Senior Partner
A lot has been written about "big data" in the past two or three years — some say too much — and it is clear that the idea has taken hold in the corner offices and boardrooms of corporate America. Unfortunately, in far too many cases, "big data" projects are failing to meet expectations due to the sheer complexity of the challenge, lack of over-arching strategy, and a failure to "start small" and expand based on demonstrated results.

It's that time of year; you're either furiously thinking of the right gift to give, or desperately hoping that someone gives you the right gift. I call it the holiday how-to's. You think you know what someone wants, but you don't know 'how-to' find it. Never fear, if the person you're shopping for just happens to be a teen (who enjoys reading) then we can help.

President Kennedy Assassinated!
November 22, 2013, by Bland
Do you fear you are not getting enough sleep? Do you envy those who can fall asleep in an instant and remain dead to the world for eight hours? Perhaps you are contributing to your problem by lying awake at night brooding about the sleep you're not getting.
November 21, 2013, by Carol S.
The 50th anniversary of the assassination of John F. Kennedy has inspired books, documentaries, media attention and the library has releases with fresh viewpoints.

Muara Jambi
It's easy to spend all day at Muara Jambi. The forested site covers 12 sq km along the north bank of the Batang Hari. The entrance is through an ornate archway in the village of Muara Jambi and most places of interest are within a few minutes' walk. Eight temples have been identified so far, each at the centre of its own low-walled compound.

Carpe diem, boys and girls, the end is nigh. I wrote this on the top of a column from the Globe and Mail by Margaret Wente, entitled, Why 65 isn't 60, with a subtitle that reads, No matter how positive your attitude, you can no longer escape the fact that the rest of your life is alarmingly short.
I am having several photocopies made, and I'm sending them to my buddies back east, many of whom have reached the big 6-5 - or are frighteningly close.
Ms. Wente makes a good point: when I turned 60, no matter the medical issues that had arisen in my life - cancer, high blood pressure, cholesterol, etc. - I still felt pretty darned good.
I was retired at 62, I was active, my diet included a lot of fruit and vegetables - although I ate too much in the latter half of the day and drank beer - and my stress levels were down.
But, come 65 and the arrival of my MSP gold card - the official notice that you are now a senior citizen - I started fixating more and more on how many years I had left; joking about, it in fact, and going on about the discounts and the carpet bowling.
Overall, life expectancy in Canada is 81.23 years - 78.69 for men and 83.91 for women - even better in British Columbia at 80 and 84.
I've got 15 more years, maybe less if you take into account some of the aforementioned medical issues. I'm good with that, as long as I can still do the things I am doing now and not be seated in front of the TV in some seniors' facility, drinking soup through a straw and trying to adjust my hearing aids.
Margaret says the lines between middle age and old age have blurred: we're living longer, working longer, people in their 80 and 90s are running marathons and having sex, 70 is the new 60, 60 is the new 50.
Developments in science and medicine and exercise physiology and nutrition have all contributed to this state of affairs.
It also helps if you come from a good gene pool - if mom and dad didn't sign off until they were into their 80s.
Mine didn't, unfortunately, but that doesn't mean I won't make it to 80, if I can keep my sugar levels down and my testosterone up.
The whole thing's a crapshoot anyway, I tell people.
You could get hit by a car tomorrow, or eat a bad piece of tomorrow, or eat a bad piece of meat, or get caught in crossfire during a robbery.
Whether or not you have "made something" of your life, may have a bearing as you watch the fluids drain into your arm.
If you've been a good citizen you may not resent the intrusion of the Grim Reaper.
Then again, if you've accomplished very little, based on whatever standards to which you hold yourself - not made a lot of money, written that novel, done that volunteer work - you may or may not welcome death when it appears at the foot of your bed.
Mental health is important, the absence of stress, the sound mind in the sound body, not to mention your general philosophy of life vis-a-vis materialism, success, your relationship to an all-knowing, all-forgiving deity, the presence of love, happiness, a dog.
So much impinges on the question of your longevity. That's why I don't think about it. That's why I retired early, that's why I go to bed with a good book in the middle of the day.
That's why I laugh and try to surround myself with people who like to laugh. It's good medicine, according to the 10-year-old Readers' Digest in the doctor's office.
I'm hoping my friends in Ontario will get a chuckle when they read Ms. Wente's column, maybe put down the obituary page and take the dog for a walk.

God Abides in the One Who Loves and the One Who Confesses …
Six questions to see if you have genuine faith in Christ and love for others.
Six questions to see if you have genuine faith in Christ and love for others.
The test of the authenticity our worship on Sunday is whether we are a radically Christ-like people on Monday.
If second things become first things, we may have a rigorous religion, but we will not have evangelical, God-centered, biblical Christianity.
The glorious, unshakable, objective foundation of your being a Christian is that God chose you to be one.
The ultimate goal of God in election and predestination is that God might be praised for his glory.
God put sent Christ to die in order to demonstrate his righteousness.
Being justified means being forgiven, being reckoned righteous, being loved by God, and being secured by God forever.
The call of God is effective; it creates what it commands.
Assurance does not come from making holiness optional. It comes from knowing God is faithful.
What if it's true that Christ rose from the dead?
God wants us to have assurance that no matter how much evil and suffering and futility we see now, he will make all things new.
Bank your hope on the justice of God to uphold the honor of his name by offering faith to his unworthy people.
God swears by his own name in order to give his people unwavering confidence in his promises.
Perseverance of the Saints The Doctrines of Grace / Calvinism

In honor of the year's silliest day, I've made a list of April Fool's jokes that are sure to make your kids laugh.
- Unscrew the cap on your faucet and place one or more Crayola Color Bath Dropz in before replacing the cap.
- Serve their breakfast cereal in mixing bowls and eat with serving spoons.
- Turn your house upside down the night before – picture frames, baskets, toys, small appliances or even furniture are all fun ideas.
- Tape the handle on the kitchen sink sprayer down. This is a classic April Fool's joke that never gets old.
- Place a glob of Vaseline on the bottom of the door handle so slippery hands can't open the door.
- Buy realistic looking bugs or critters and place them inside your child's sandwich, yogurt or other snacks.
- Place a few drops of food coloring in your child's glass of milk.
- Serve meals backwards for the day starting with dessert in the morning breakfast in the evening.
- Sprinkle a little bit of salt on your child's toothbrush the night before.
- Place glitter or confetti on top of fan blades and watch it scatter when your child turns the fan on.
What are some of your favorite April Fool's jokes?

The same sound and power as The Tone Zone humbucker.
The DiMarzio DP210 Tone Zone P-90 is a high-output, humbucking soapbar pickup with the same sound and power as The Tone Zone humbucker. Because of their plastic cover, "soapbar" pickups usually can't be adjusted quite as close to the strings as standard humbuckers, and compared to full-size humbuckers, soapbars have a slightly narrower magnetic window to "see" the strings.
Both factors are taken into account by slightly increasing power and broadening the magnetic field around the coils to allow The Tone Zone P90 to sound as great as the original Tone Zone. Designed for the bridge position, it comes with 4-conductor wiring enabling series-parallel humbucking or split-coil modes.
Recommended For: Bridge position, solid-body guitars with soapbar pickup cavities.
Upgrade your bridge position soapbar. Order today.

Looking good man
She was a 3" x 14" hollow grinding contact. She had to be cut to 2" so that's what I did.
Looking good man
The Ducci disk!!!!!
Cool, good to see you got it trimmed already. I'll have to figure out something for mine. Did you just chuck on the one machined boss?
WTB: Horton Flipper........
Youll put your eye out with that thing...............
Awesom machine!!!
Yeah I took it all off the front side. It bolts up with perfect spacing for tracking. Thanks man. Just chucked on that hub.
And what's this all for. Well. Full height or saber hollow combo chisel grinds on 1/8 material. Un real. Slicer heaven awaits
Now your Kung Fu is strong................
Does it remove material any faster? With a shallower radius grind, does the wheel still follow the groove easily?
WTB: Horton Flipper........
Perfect for the first Horton filet-knife !
No. Tim. The. Rubber wheels have set up hardness over time. I guess. Cause there is no way they are 40 duro. Much harder. But
its ok. I just run it extra fast. Its not easy like a 8" and the stock is thin. But its doable. All good
Armor all it..............puts the lotion on its...........
Wow dude you are really talking about a full flat grind? Straight money. This should be good.
Nice work J. Nice work randucci. That's fuckin teamwork. I'll be on the lookout for the first few sales of these. That is right up my alley in an edc fixed. Thanks.
Not flat. Its hollow. Way better.
