- Great food.OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/22/2014I love this place for the food, but it's also known for it's extensive wine list, not only by the bottle but by the glass as well. Also great cocktails and service.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Hello, Anyone There?CeciVIPDined on 11/11/2014At lunchtime we waited almost 10 minutes for a hostess to even appear to seat us and others on the line. The food was bland at best. They always have a great wine selection.
- It's all about the wineNYCGOMOVIPDined on 11/10/2014While the establishment has an enormous selection of wines it does not employ their staff the knowledge to expound upon the various varieties, point values, notes, depth, etc. Instead they rely on the binder of wines to speak for the selection. Shame because if you have knowledgeable staff it makes all the difference.Special Features:
- 3rd Time's just as Charming!OpenTable Diner Since 2010VIPDined on 10/31/2014This was our third visit to Morrell over a number of years. It has maintained the charm and excellent food and wine offerings. We had a delightful lunch with an excellent Syrah. In terms of the food, I don't remember the exact dishes, but the pasta with mushrooms and zucchini appetizer was wonderful. My wife had the pulled pork tacos. She has ordered that each time! We will visit again on our next trip to NYC.Special Features:
- SuperabbitVIPDined on 10/23/2014They have a great wine list which is over 1000 bottles available, but a little over priced. The food is more Italian style, which tasts ok for me to pairing with wine. I can't say the service is good, they didn't offer us the bread untill we asked, and also no explaination for the cheese plate we ordered. Everything is kind of slow and it's hard for you to catch your waiter. I will probably check the place once again just for their amazing wine list.Special Features:
- Food terrible; wine worse!OpenTable Diner Since 2002VIPDined on 10/21/2014Truffle oil on everything. That's not gourmet food. Wine at some $60/glass was undrinkable.
- Nice but...ElmerDined on 10/20/2014My Open Table reservation for 3 was seated at a 30" by 30" table for two, in spite of several open tables around us. One of our party left early, however, so we did not ask to be reseated, but... The food was nicely prepared and presented. The pappardelle with wild mushroom was excellent as were the appetizers (tartare and a salad with poached pears). We ordered wine by the glass, which was terrific, although apparently confused as we were charged double the price of what I had requested. In general a nice evening but the seating set the tone for an evening of near misses. I would return however as the location was convenient and the food showed real promise.Special Features:
- Nice locationDeeMichDined on 10/17/2014I love the location of the restaurant. Right next to Rockefeller plaza. Outdoor dining was awesome for people watching and the service was pretty good. We made a reservation via Opentable and we were running late...we called and they were nice about it and seated us when we arrived.Special Features:
- OverpricedBorlDined on 10/11/2014Food looked good but lacked finesse; taste was way too strong. Choice in wine is amazing but very expensive. Cold draft throughout restaurant. Very nice and friendly staff.
- Lovely evening and excellent wine!,OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/28/2014Great spot with great wine and fun appetizers. Staff was courteous and helpful with menu and wine choices.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Bad food, stingy pourNyfoodygirlDined on 9/24/2014This restaurant is over priced and I've had better food in a diner. The $15, 3 oz pour of wine was particularly comical if not downright insulting. Not to be outdone by the seared tuna salad that had no flavor. Never again.Special Features:
- KeeperFoodieDined on 9/18/2014Morrell was recommended by a friend and we loved it! Our waiter was excellent helping us with wine selection. I had the risotto and my husband had the steak. Both were great. Highly recommend the pear salad - to die for!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful as alwaysdebnjVIPDined on 9/12/2014Morrell never disappoints. Excellent wines, food is great and service alway attentive but not instrusive.Special Features:
- New decor with new pricesHammertimeVIPDined on 8/31/2014The new décor is refreshing, but reminds me of a diner. It is not quite as nice as I thought from the photos. That said it is nice, clean and much brighter than it used to be (in a good way). Wine prices went up to help pay for decorating it seems. Food menu is the same....tasty! And if the weather cooperates the outdoor dining is always great for people watching. There is usually a nice breeze. And of course after dinner you can go into the wine store and buy something to take home!Special Features:
- Lovely lunch for Restaurant WeekstefystefDined on 8/15/2014I have passed by Morrell's many times when in the Rockefeller Center area, but never thought to go in. During the NYC Summer Restaurant Week 2014, my friend and I decided to have lunch there because we liked the menu offered. While it is busy and a bit noisy outside (Rockefeller Center and NBC TODAY studio is right next door), the inside of the restaurant was quiet and conducive to fine dining. The food was very good and the wine suggestions were on the mark. The staff was very helpful and friendly and added to the enjoyment of the lunch. Would recommended this restaurant to NYers and visitors alike.Special Features:
- Never had a bad meal herePowerladyDined on 8/6/2014We had dinner here and ate outside since the weather was nice. It is wonderful to see Rockefeller center.They have redone the interior. I preferred the old decorating, but the food is every bit as excellent as ever. We accidentally hit restaurant week and had a bargain 3 course meal for $38.Special Features:
- luvNYCDined on 8/1/2014Perhaps it was the heavy traffic we got stuck in on the way to the restaurant or maybe the rainy weather or maybe the loud group of 10 we were seated next to, but I was not overly impressed with this restaurant. The food was good but portions were small. The wine list was impressive and all four of us truly enjoyed our glasses of both reds and whites. Servers were friendly and knowledgeable. I guess I should have expected it to be "touristy" given it's Rockefeller Center location. I would stop in here for a glass or two of wine again if I happened to be in the area, but would not plan another dinner there.Special Features:
- The following 359 reviews are from the Morrell Wine Bar & Cafe reviews archive.
- Morrells was OKOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/30/2014We ate at Morrells 2 weeks ago and found it disappointing. The location opposite the Rockerfeller Plaza is great and the service from our table waiter and the front of house was exemplary but we were overwhelmed with the prices for mediocre food. I had a pumpkin, cheese and walnut and rocket salad which was predominantly a bowl full of rocket. The few bits of cheese and pumpkin were very small and sparse on the plate and the pumpkin pieces had obviously just come out of the fridge because they were freezing cold and pretty tasteless. My husband had a duck dish which was similarly presented - on a dish full of salad with very little duck on the top. Overall, I would say this restaurant is not worth the money it charges.
- nydinernydinerDined on 7/28/2014I'm so glad that they brought back the steak salad.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Midtown mainstayOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 7/24/2014I came here during restaurant week for lunch. I am not a wine drinker, so I cannot speak about the wine. Food was alright. The menu could be improved. Best thing was the friend I lunched with and that we sat outside!Special Features:
- Welcoming and DeliciousKathyVIPDined on 7/23/2014From start to finish our dinner at Morell Wine Bar & Cafe was superlative. We received a warm welcome from the maître d, our server was very pleasant and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed the crab appetizer, followed by the most delicious carbonara ever and a perfectly prepared steak. Ice cream medley dessert and delicious wines. Fantastic; can't wait to return.Special Features:
- Great service and foodOpenTable Diner Since 2005Dined on 7/22/2014The food, services, ambience and diversity of wines was greatSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Overpriced and UnderwhelmingyummyATLfoodsVIPDined on 7/21/2014Sat outside with two others and we split 4 smaller dishes (the meatball sliders, flat bread, stuffed mushrooms and pulled pork tacos). All very small portions - enough for three girls as we weren't that hungry, but too expensive for what we got. The stuffed mushrooms were so tiny as well as the tacos. It was a nice view of Rockefeller Plaza and the service was good, just won't be going back.
- JulieOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/7/2014Great place to escape the hustle and bustle. Great food and amazing serviceSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- All around lovely experienceRGS218VIPDined on 6/20/2014We arrived early and they sat us immediately at a great table outdoors on a perfect summer evening. Attentive and friendly service, hostess was extremely friendly and answered questions we had about some art work out on the Plaza, food delicious and not run-of-the-mill. We had a two minute walk to our show at Radio City. Highly recommend.Special Features:
- GuestVIPDined on 6/14/2014We loved the outdoor seating and of course, the location is great. We each ordered a different salad and none were really special. I'd had the kale salad before and enjoyed it, but this time the leaves were huge and difficult to eat. Our waiter seeemed distracted and had to keep returning to the table to ask us again about our order. Maybe just an off day ....Special Features:
- Good Rock Center locationJimMcDined on 6/10/2014Good food, great wine list, good service. Great location at Rock Center. Convenient to Midtown/Times Square.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Rock Plaza GemJudithVIPDined on 6/6/2014I had lunch with my friends who recommended Morrell's, and I am glad they did. I was the first to arrive, and I was seated without any hesitation. Most places make you wait until the entire party arrives. The prix fixe three course lunch was amazing, and the prices of wines were quite reasonable. I would definitely come back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- SteveDined on 6/4/2014I live in Long Island, and traveled out to Manhattan to finally try Morrell Wine Bar. I am happy that I did, because this place is well worth the visit. The food they offer is delicious and fresh. However, the best part of the visit was interacting with the staff. The server was thoughtful, attentive, and anticipated our needs.Our meal was carefully paired with exciting wines for each course by the sommelier, Anna. Each course - Anna chose different pairings for us,that complemented our meals and personality. It was amazing to see the execution of such a large wine by the glass list (153 offerings).I recommend Morrell Wine Bar to anyone who enjoys great food and especially wine. The wines offered are rare, approachable, and high quality.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Absolutely greatOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 5/29/2014This is my regular place for lunch and it is perfect every single time. Service is outstanding and every staff member is professional, food is always amazing and they are always very quick with everything. On a warm day you can enjoy dining outside and on a cooler day you can have a table upstairs for more privacy!Special Features:
- Highly recommendNYCwinoDined on 5/24/2014I have been to Morrell several times and each time is better than the last. The wine is always delicious. The staff is knowledgable and friendly. The atmosphere is great indoors and outdoors. It is perfect for dinner or just to stop in for appetizers and a glass of wine.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent All AroundOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 5/23/2014Went here for the first time with a friend for an early dinner and was very happy with our experience. The wine list was extensive and quite impressive. The staff is very personable, warm and welcoming. And the food was great and offered a lot for a NYC winebar. Definitely a hidden gem in Rockefeller Center -- We're certain to come back again soon. Thanks for everything!Special Features:
- Friday LunchGeorge1Dined on 5/16/2014Great place to meet friends for lunch....great locationn and very knowledgable barmen.Special Features:
- not the Morrell's we knew and lovedDianeVIPDined on 5/11/2014When we first arrived we were the only patrons inside the dining room. It took several minutes for our waiter to greet us and take our wine order. Many more minutes before we received our wine and were able to order. We ordered small plates which came rather promptly - but our entrée orders were delivered to another table that had arrived after ours and they proceeded to eat them and then complained it wasn't their order! Our waiter never explained the delay in our order which I assume had to be remade resulting in an even greater delay. We had to ask to order more wine, wait again and eventually decided to not even try to order dessert.
- MediocreDisappointedDined on 5/10/2014When visiting Morrell's for the 1st time we were very disappointed with the food and ambience after reading Tripadvisor. We requested a good table when booking but were put at the back near the kitchen entrance. Morrell's was not busy, therefore this would have been possible.
- Too expensive for what you getSharVIPDined on 5/9/2014I met a friend there for lunch, fun place but the food was just average. I had the ahi tuna salad, and the tuna tasted too fishy and not much flavor. While my friend said his cob salad was good. I think the price was high for what we got.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great spotDRyeVIPDined on 5/2/2014Central location and friendly, attentive staff. I will be returningSpecial Features:
- Notable wine listCPwiseVIPDined on 4/17/2014Nice remodeling of the place, the wine list is still spectacularSpecial Features:
- Great rest., not a tourist trapRI401VIPDined on 4/13/2014You would think that because Morell's is located at the Rockefeller Center, next to NBC studios it could be a tourist trap but it is not. Wine list is excellent (unless you wanted wine from Portugal which they didn't have). We sat outside on a beautiful sunny day. Hostess was friendly and attentive. Food was good, although we (party of 7) went mostly to drink wine. Only complain would be that our waiter looked a bit annoyed that mostly had wine. If you mind tourist looking at you like a caged zoo animal, get a indoor table or sit at the bar, ambiance and service inside is great too, specially at the bar.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Ocean seeding a dead duck as carbon solution
Seeding the ocean with iron to encourage plankton blooms works – kind of – but as a carbon sequestration approach, it's hugely expensive, inefficient and probably ineffective, according to a Sydney University researcher. The geo-engineering idea hit the headlines earlier this year when American Russ George dumped 200,000 pounds …
I wonder if there is a way to process atmospheric CO2 into graphite?
If a cheap catalytic reaction could be found to process CO2 in the atmosphere into graphite and oxygen, that would be a money winner. But it makes no sense to mine iron ore, process it into iron sulfate, ship it to a port, load it on a ship and then dump it in the ocean. That has to take far more carbon emissions than it traps.
Penguin icon, because he and his buddies are going to otherwise need some sunscreen :)
Re: I wonder if there is a way to process atmospheric CO2 into graphite?
Bonding the carbon and oxygen atoms together produced the energy that's running the world. At least as much energy is needed to pull them back apart. There are solar powered devices that are not only capable of pulling the atoms apart, but can self-repair and self replicate. They're called plants.
Re: I wonder if there is a way to process atmospheric CO2 into graphite?
And yet despite the presence of plants, atmospheric CO2 keeps climbing, which at the very least is causing ocean acidiphication. Maybe we need something more than plants.
Re: I wonder if there is a way to process atmospheric CO2 into graphite?
Well we need to stop throwing away perfectly good cars, or building 'disposable' hardware with locked boot-loaders. (Germany recently threw away millions of perfectly good cars in an intervention to support the car industry. Of course the new cars didn't need considerably less gasoline than the old ones.)
Just cutting back on completely unnecessary use of resources would probably bring more any of those "let's push the problem into the future so we won't have to deal with it right now.
Re: I wonder if there is a way to process atmospheric CO2 into graphite?
"Maybe we need something more than plants" Perhaps, but your idea is simply stupid handwaving. You may as well say Let's convert the CO2 into diamonds.
Re: I wonder if there is a way to process atmospheric CO2 into graphite?
"Maybe we need something more than plants."
Maybe we need more plants.
Re: I wonder if there is a way to process atmospheric CO2 into graphite?
Agreed, difficult to enforce though.
It would be nice to have some sort of punitive tax on goods that can't be (easily) repaired, but then there'd have to be some sort of judgement (which would also have a cost) as to what "easily repairable" means.
I'm not a mechanic, but (to go with the car example) a limited set of standard form factors might be a good place to start, if you're on the list, you don't pay 100% VAT. If every type of component had specified dimensions and interfaces, car repair could be greatly simplified.
So, instead of needing an alternator for a 1995 Renault Clio Petrol 1.2L from the car parts shop, you'd need a 70A alternator, which could be made by anyone according to standards.
Am I pissing in the wind here, or is there some enforcer big and powerful and nasty enough to get the car firms to do this?
Re: I wonder if there is a way to process atmospheric CO2 into graphite?
You don't have to go mining for this stuff. That red mud (the stuff that went splat over Hungary) is 40% Fe. And it's free: people will actually pay you to take it away.
As to this paper: if it's right, well, OK. But I'd rather like to see the assumptions before we all agree that it is right.
For at the start this process is incredibly efficient. 1 tonne of Fe should create 90,000 tonnes of CO2 in the bloom. The big question is how much of that ends up on the ocean bottom waiting to be turned into chalk?
Re: I wonder if there is a way to process atmospheric CO2 into graphite?
If anyone ever manages to cobble together a nice nanoassembler that can do carbon fixing rather more efficiently than plants, there will be rather more substantial and useful side effects than merely reducing atmospheric CO2.
Of course, you can expect such things to become practical on a similar timescale to fusion power plants. Don't hold your breath.
Re: I wonder if there is a way to process atmospheric CO2 into graphite?
Why graphite? What's wrong with charcoal? Pretty stable, can be buried, might even be used as fuel later. This is better than my other idea, which involves building big rafts of logs from conifer plantations, adding windsails and steering them quietly up to greenland to beach for a couple of hundred years. There is a carbon cost in the actual logging operation I admit, but that's where my third plan comes in, which is a sort of "job creation" scheme for large numbers of currently underused manual labourers...
Re: I wonder if there is a way to process atmospheric CO2 into graphite?
That was beautiful. It was also wrong. The plants bond the Carbon and _Hydrogen_ atoms together, having received the hydrogen from water and carbon from the air. Oxygen is thereby released, not bonded, as the H2O molecule discards the unnecessary oxygen. The plants make _hydrocarbons_.
But I give you nine points for art. Though it was wrong, it was nicely done.
Re: I wonder if there is a way to process atmospheric CO2 into graphite?
We already have plants - over 70% of the surface area of the planet converting all of the solar energy they can capture to more stable and portable forms.
Re: I wonder if there is a way to process atmospheric CO2 into graphite?
The problem with converting CO2 into diamonds is not technical, it's the inevitable cease and desist order you'd be getting from DeBeers.
Re: I wonder if there is a way to process atmospheric CO2 into graphite?
I can only assume you are a troll, or an idiot.
Even if you were somehow able to convert carbon dioxide into carbon and oxygen with 100% efficiency (which is not only practivcally, but also theoretically impossible), you would need to use energy to break the strong C=O bonds, in order to produce the weaker O=O and C-C bonds. Given that the sources of energy we currently use are currently overwhelmingly carbon-positive (i.e. produce a net positive amount fo CO2), you would end up releasing more CO2 inot the atmosphere than you ever managed to convert back into carbon and oxygen. The innate inefficiencies in the system would waste some of the energy as heat, so you'd actually warm the planet some more while you were doing it.
Re: I wonder if there is a way to process atmospheric CO2 into graphite?
> If every type of component had specified dimensions and interfaces, car repair could be greatly simplified.
IIRC that's been tried, and look what happened to the Soviet Union.
Re: I wonder if there is a way to process atmospheric CO2 into graphite?
@ Mikel - You do not seem to have read Kevin's reply correctly. He was saying the CO2 came from bonding the carbon and oxygen together when fuel was burned to release energy, and the plants are breaking that bond to use the carbon and release the oxygen.
What's the problem?
Lessee, way cool indirect method to get rid of carbon 'pollution,' check. No NIMBY issues, check. Economically inefficient method, good for huge tax increases, check. Not required to show any real results, check.
Sounds perfect, what are we waiting for?
If there weren't scientists around who actually checked how well it worked, it wouldn't have been a problem.
Just think of nuclear energy, nobody actually looks at how much CO2 is produced while mining the fuel or running the reactor. That's why it's al right, and people can still believe their naive "nuclear energy is CO2 free, because there's no carbon and oxygen reactions in the reactor" myth.
Re: What's the problem?
"Lessee, way cool indirect method to get rid of carbon 'pollution,' check. No NIMBY issues, check. Economically inefficient method, good for huge tax increases, check. Not required to show any real results, check.

Voted up for nicely judged cynicism. Not because it's a good idea.
Re: Scientists
There's enough nuclear fuel sat in Sellafield for at least fifty years of UK demand, possibly more.
Mining it takes relatively little energy because the fuel is so energy-dense - much less than the "ship wood chips over from Canada" idea that's keeping Drax open.*
The real question is whether Wind is carbon neutral, given the materials, maintenance and connectivity requirements coupled with the very low generation output and the need to always use it when available, regardless of actual demand.
* Glad it is staying open, as we'd be in the dark if it wasn't.
Depends on the fuel
Thorium nuclear power, for example.
Re: Depends on the fuel
This just in: current thorium designs have nuclear weapon proliferation issues.
Re: Depends on the fuel
"This just in: current thorium designs have nuclear weapon proliferation issues."
Thorium breeder reactors produce Uranium 233, which, whilst theoretically capable of being made into a bomb, isn't for several reasons, not least of which is the production of U233 always produces small amounts of U232 which has highly hazardous decay products which emit gamma radiation, so any practical bomb would have to be encased in several metres of concrete.
Almost all energy received from the sun not immediately radiated away is metabolized in photosynthesis. As is heat radiated from the core of the Earth, which still has considerable contribution from infall friction. A temperature increase improves the habitat where algae grow, which is typically inhibited by cold. And so Algae will reverse this trend in time and sink all of the carbon that we produce.
It's neither a good nor a bad thing. Oil provides useful lubricants, and we should be mindful of that.
Re: Stasis
Well of course, we now know that we probably won't be able to wipe life of the face of the earth, but we can easily cause the earth to be uncomfortable to us. So uncomfortable that we get _real_ problems.
Just look at the world. Economic power has always been linked to the local climate. If the climate changes, the economy will change, too. There may be mass migration or wars over water. All kinds of problems which could be prevented.
Let's assume that our over-simplified computer models and projections of technological and economic progress over the next 50-100 years are correct. There could indeed be many problems arising from climate change.
So all we need is a way to make substantial reductions in CO2 emissions without a disastrous reduction in the energy supply; which would of itself cause far greater problems, and in the short term, rather than a century's time. Suggestions welcome - they'd better not involve a wholesale reliance on windmills.
Re: @Christian
Well the solution is somewhere in the middle. We gradually need to exploit cheap regenerative power plants like wind and solar. At the same time we need to invest in energy storage and energy saving. For example by building electric cars which are more efficient, can be used for energy storage and, since they are a lot less complex, will probably last longer. Another idea would be to have power lines above highways so trucks could additionally run on electricity and put their brake energy back into the grid.
Those are all tiny little things, but together they can change something. And no there is no single simple solutions.
"Environmental Impact "
"The geo-engineering idea hit the headlines earlier this year when American Russ George dumped 200,000 pounds (more than 90,000 kg) of iron sulphate in the northern Pacific Ocean to spark a plankton bloom."
Well what kind of negative environmental impact could that possibly have, eh?
If I can cite (and slightly alter) a quote from the late Sixties: "We had to destroy the earth in order to save it".
Re: "Environmental Impact "
>Well what kind of negative environmental impact could that possibly have, eh?
Lets say it acts like a fertilizer, which it's trying to in this case. It could cause low oxygen levels in the water by causing a growth bloom. That's about all. If you're worried about the environmental impact, you'd be far more worried (at least in the U.S. case) that we put 3,000,000,000 pounds of nitrogen a year in the Gulf, from just one river. Who knows how much phosphorus. All concentrated close to the shore where it kills everything off. The place where most sea life lives.
Vast portions of the oceans are desserts. http://dsc.discovery.com/news/2009/08/27/oecan-deserts.html Huge portions of the oceans don't have much life in them all all, mostly bound the the lack of iron. Dumping iron there is analog to watering the desserts on earth.
Re: "Environmental Impact "
Turtle, adding on to my post. Yes, it has an environmental impact, some negative, but it would be like your MPs arguing about the impact of your neighbor Mrs Tuttleworth burning her rubbish bin while the entirety of London was a burning inferno year after year.
Re: "Environmental Impact "
"Vast portions of the oceans are desserts"
I think we need more information here. What are we talking about, Jelly & Ice Cream? Cheescake? Sticky Toffee Pudding? Inquiring minds need to know, the mining possibilities are endless!
@pixl97 Re: "Environmental Impact "
Thank you for the reply, it was quite interesting. However, the idea that was uppermost in my mind was that this was only a test on a very small scale, and my assumption is that, in order to sequester an amount of carbon sufficient to abate AGW (in which I am not a believer at all, although I do not think that that's germane to this discussion) the amount of iron sulphate that would need to be dumped into the oceans would be really enormous - would have to be on such a scale that it could not help but have a negative effect on the oceans - and not only on ocean life proper, but also on the circulation of water in the ocean, (the correct term for which simply escapes me at the moment.)
Re: "Environmental Impact "
There was some controversy over whether he should have done it, but if it was done right, we can learn a lot about the effectiveness. I hope that it has been done right, with water samples and monitoring and all that. I'd want to have a full year of data from before the dumping, and at least a full year after, to be able to make a comparison, and I really doubt any of the results from that operation can have gone into the reseach reported here.
Thing is, 90 tonnes into a huge ocean is still a tiny test. But it's a step in size. The results will change as the tests get bigger. I'm not terribly worried about this, and if this sort of action can make a difference, both the economics and the environmental affects need to be worked on. This study depends on knowing what happens, and that depends on well-run trials.
When Geo Engineering...
Wear a very big hard hat!
"Unknown unknowns" and all that. While they exist in every day life, they are much smaller when they fall on your head when compared to Geo-engineering.
Idea that sounded pretty bonkers turns out to be pretty bonkers.
I hate it when that happens. Which is annoying because that's what happens 95% of the time.
Cheapest solution
The cheapest solution is to curb our addiction to burning fossil fuels, but various extremely powerful vested interests have effectively blocked that.
Re: Cheapest solution
" but various extremely powerful vested interests have effectively blocked that." Including our desire to cook our food and keep warm in cold weather!
It's (artificial) fur lined!
Spike aviation fuel with iron compounds
They fly over the oceans, etc. etc. etc.
By the way, anyone else notice the Iridium + ADS-B thingy that's coming? They plan to save many billions of dollars of aviation fuel over the first 12 years by simply knowing where the airplanes are mid-ocean. Yay!
So lets find some iron asteroids and dump them into the ocean, climate change driving space exploration! At last all that green money coming to some good use.
I wouldn;t give up on the idae so quickly
Large areas of the oceans are effectively deserys, because they have no nutrients for life to survive on. In many places, the bottleneck is the availability of iron. Add that, and plankton can gorw. Add plankton, and the rest of the oceanic food chain, which depends on it, can move in.
It might not be massively effective at long-term carbon sequestration, but on the other hand, could have a marked effect on ocean productivity. Essentially, add iron, get more fish.
Interestingly, it has been hypothesised that whales may play an important role in the cycling of iron in marine ecosystems. Because they move up and down the water column, they feed in the depths where iron is more plentiful, and excrete the waste matter nearer the surface, thus transporting nutrients. This is an important counter-argument to that which certain countries put forward for controlling whale numbers by culling in order to increase fishery reserves. It turns out the opposite may actually be the case, and allowing whale numbers to recover could lead to greater ocean fertility, and thus productivity.
Re: I wouldn;t give up on the idae so quickly
Large areas of the oceans are effectively deserts, because they have no nutrients for life to survive on.
...or have too much of a good thing, as in the case of the rivers emptying large amounts of fertilizer into the sea. In other cases, it is a lack of oxygen that makes it difficult for life in affected areas.
Fertilising a square kilometre of the Southern Ocean would, he said, sequester only about 10 kg of carbon – far less than the fuel consumed by the boat on an out-and-back journey.
How would it stack up against running pipelines out and simply pumping the fertilizer or fertiliser (so both sides of the pond are motivated to down-vote this) directly to the target areas?
Re: I wouldn;t give up on the idae so quickly
One way to fertilize large areas of ocean cheaply would be to supply iron as a aerosol and let the wind disperse it over the ocean. I think most of the experiments done with Fe fertilization have been of too limited a time and too high a concentration of iron. The time span needs to be longer so that the affected area can develop a proper local flora and fauna and the concentration needs to be low enough to fully utilize the iron while not out growing the other nutrients that may be limiting (such as fixed nitrogen and phosphorus
You could use a tethered balloon to apply the aerosol or you could add it to the stack gases from a power plant. A computer could control the supply of iron solution for different wind directions and speeds. I am sure there are people out there that could figure out the affected area with a profile of the concentration of iron delivered.
For those worried about geo-engineering I would point out this is very similar to the way iron is added to coastal waters by wind borne dust off the west coast of Africa. (Google wind borne dust iron africa ocean productivity).
For those who wonder what level of iron is needed the average concentration in algae is around .7 mg/gm dry weight, thus a kilogram of iron should support the growth of ~ 1.2 tons of (dry) algae. Of course in a developed ecosystem the iron may be utilized by numerous creatures along the food chain.
Biochar to mop up wind energy
Production of biochar from agricultural waste may be the way to go. Besides producing gas, and something like diesel, in appropriate situations the residual carbon char can be used to improve the productivity of soil.
Coupled to low-cost wind energy this could provide genuine carbon capture and, perhaps more importantly, could mop up wind's wasteful spikes in energy production and keep the fluctuations off the grid.

A board member for the Tennessee Multicultural Chamber of Commerce resigned today, citing a lack of investigation by the board and an unwillingness to put Executive Director Sherrie Gilchrist on at least a temporary suspension.
Thomas Loafman, director of purchasing for Volkswagen Group of America, wrote in a resignation letter today that VW supports the chamber's mission, but that the board decided against steps last week he said were needed.
Some of the largest steps, he wrote, included an "investigation should have been immediately requested" and that Gilchrist "should have been put on at least a temporary suspension of duties" until an audit and investigation were concluded.
The chamber has been under fire for a week after a city audit detailed financial mismanagement, extravagant salaries and travel expenses, and questionable loans and land purchases.
For more information, read tomorrow's Times Free Press.
Sherrie Gilchrist is a nice person with more professional cred than all the namecalling numbskulls in these threads put together.
Still waiting for that detailed audit of the republican, "white" chamber.
Chattanooga's reputation as a hotbed of racism, prejudice and ignorance remains unchallenged so at least it can be rated first in something.
Wonder if old man Skillern has learned how to cook BBQ yet. Doubt it.
What's that? Gunfire on the Walnut Street Bridge?

November 28, 2014
AP - Former reputed mob boss James "Whitey" Bulger, who escaped prosecution for 16 years until he was captured last month in California, is set to return to federal court in Boston to enter a plea on 19 murder charges.
Bulger is to be arraigned before U.S. Magistrate Judge Marianne Bowler, formally responding to criminal charges for the first time in nearly two decades.
Prosecutors allege that the 81-year-old former head of Boston's notorious Winter Hill Gang was involved in the killings to eliminate rivals, silence potential witnesses and divert investigators' attention from other slayings.
Bulger was caught in Santa Monica, Calif., on June 22.
He was an FBI informant who provided information on his gang's main rivals and fled after an agent leaked to him word of an impending indictment.

Lions veteran kicker Jason Hanson retires
Updated On: Apr 04 2013 04:52:34 PM EDT
Veteran kicker Jason Hanson has announced his retirement from the NFL after 21 seasons.
The Detroit Lions confirmed Hanson's retirement on Thursday.
Hanson, 42, was drafted by the Lions in the 2nd round of the 1992 NFL Draft. He was the 56th overall pick.
Hanson became the first player to play 300 games with one franchise, finishing with 327. He also set an NFL record last year when he played his 21st season with the same team.
Hanson made a record 52 field goals from at least 50 yards. He's third on the career scoring list at 2,150 points and third in field goals with 495.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Meighan Simmons scored 14 points and No. 4 Tennessee cruised to a 77-44 win over No. 22 Georgia on Monday night to win its 16th Southeastern Conference regular season title.
The Lady Volunteers (26-2, 14-0) have beaten their opponents by an average of 24.2 points during their undefeated run through conference play. Their last SEC loss came on Jan. 21, 2010.
This time Tennessee took care of business early against the league's second place team, jumping out to a 10-2 lead after two fast 3-pointers by Simmons. The Lady Vols used 50 percent shooting in the first half to build a 40-21 halftime lead and led by 37 points late in the second half.
The Lady Bulldogs (20-7, 10-4) made 8 of 34 shots from 3-point range and shot 25.8 percent from the field for the game. Jasmine James led Georgia with 11 points.

Maybe you already heard the Salzburger Glockenspiel (Salzburg chimes) during a visit in the Salzburg City center.
Three times a day (7 a.m., 11 a.m. and 6 p.m.) the Glockenspiel rings with popular and known melodies. 51 different music pieces can be played on the Glockenspiel. It has 35 bells and a range of 3 octaves- which is quite impressive!
From March until October you can visit the Glockenspiel (guided tours every Thursday 5:30 p.m. and every Friday 10:30 a.m.).
Not only the technical capacity of the Glockenspiel is impressive- also the view on the top of the tower is worth a visit!

Google launches Search Options for Mobile ... but not Windows Mobile
Search Options lets you switch from a general web search to forums or reviews only, which I suppose is useful if you need reviews on the go. You can also filter your results by date, which is useful, but certainly not essential. Finally, there are two new ways to view search results: with images from the pages, or with longer snippets. It's nice that this stuff is there, but we've all lived without it since May, when it was first introduced to the non-mobile version of Google. WinMo and Blackberry users hardly have anything to cry about here – except how woefully inadequate their browsers are.

About Marylebone
Marylebone is one of London's more affluent area's, it is home mostly to the well to do, and yet only a couple of centuries ago a large workhouse was built here to give shelter to the poor and homeless, often foundlings were discovered on the workhouse doorstep. The building opened in 1730, by the 19th-century it had become an infirmary hospital for the sick and poor, and to this day these buildings, which over the years provided sanctuary for thousands, survive as the St. Charles Hospital.

Tattooed Love
Chapter (42)
Ever wanted to just hide from the world? Pull the covers up and pretend that you have disappeared from the world? I don't usually but today that was exactly what I wanted to do, because I didn't want to have to face today
Did I think something would happen today? Well no not really. I didn't have a gut feeling that something awful was going to happen. I just simply did not want to get up. Because right now, everything was how I liked. One could say it was perfect.
I finally has Jax, and though I would never admit it to a living soul- I really had deep feelings for the guy. It was an overwhelming, gut wrenching- drop to your knees sort of love.
"Amber, get out of bed alright." Jax pushed me again, and I clenched the blankets around me tighter.
"NO!" my voice was muffled under the blankets "Just come back to bed."
"Don't make me pull you out." I heard the snigger in his voice.
"Do and you're dead."
Jax went silent and I knew that only meant one thing trouble for me. "Jax?" a few more minutes passed and I tried to hear time moving or something, but there was nothing.
I squealed when the blankets were ripped off, my grip not having a chance against his.
"I hate you." I flipped over onto my back and glared up at him.
"School leaving in ten minutes." Smirking his eyes raked my body, "Better put some more clothes on too."
"PERV!" I threw a pillow in his direction. He too easily walked out of the room and closed the door behind him.
I groaned loudly, looks like I will be facing the day after all.
I always had this belief that whatever I did, didn't really matter. Like none really cared- boy was I wrong.
"That's it." I slammed my locker "Get away from me."
Jax rolled his eyes at me, and took the books from my hand "Amber get over it."
"I'll get over it, when people stop staring at us!" I shot a dirty look at the girls across the hall who were eye balling us. "Seriously it's not that big of a deal."
"Who said they are staring at you?" Jax smirked at me, "They are just checking me out."
"Yeah could get a tight enough tshirt?" I glanced up and down his body again. I swear that black tshirt was just designed to defined each of his very well crafted abnormal muscles and to tease the hell out of me.
Jax moved in closer, his lips just touching my eye lobe "Don't worry Amber, you can take it off tonight."
I wacked his arm immediately "Please as if your body has any sex appeal to me."
"So what were you enjoying last night?"
"Just shut it." I hissed under my breath "They will hear you, and that won't help anything will it."
Jax sniggered "Come on give me your hand."
I pulled it quickly behind my back away from him "No." I was sick of people staring at us, for gods sack had they never seen a couple before?
Ever since I got off Jax's bike this morning and held his hand, we had become the schools only source of entertainment. Or maybe someone had plastered a 'stare at me sign' and I hadn't seen it.
"Give me your hand." He went to reach around me, and he just missed it. "Amber…"
"No and while we are at it, hand my books over."
"Why do you care what others think?" Jax held behind his back. "Embarrassed of me?"
My eyes narrowed instantly, I knew what he was playing at. I didn't care what others thought of us- I just didn't like being stared at like a zoo animal. "You know that isn't it."
"Whatever, you say." Jax shrugged it over aimlessly- but his work was done. He had already stirred the demon inside of me.
Grinding my teeth, my eyes flicked to the circle of girls who were hovering across from us, still staring. The anger was boiling inside of, and I felt myself ready to explode. Didn't they know who they were staring at for heaven's sake! They once feared me, I shot an annoyed look at Jax.
It was his fault for being so damn popular.
It was the side glance from a stupid football player who walked past that sent me off the edge.
"STOP FUCKING LOOKING AT US!" I roared through the hall. Everyone in the hall stopped, and looked at me. Each one of the stupid twits having a stunned expression. "Jax and I are together now get the heck over IT! If I see one more person even glance in our direction I can PROMISE you it will be the last thing you DO!"

This dataset contains fiscal year data and is currently available in the following formats:
We process disability claims for benefits through two programs: the Social Security disability insurance program and the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program. An application for disability benefits can be filed online, in the local Social Security office, or by phone. We review the application to make sure some basic requirements for disability benefits are met. In some instances, including where the non-disability requirements are not met, the claim may be turned down as a technical denial and a medical determination is not made.
If the requirements are met, we send the disability application to the Disability Determination Services (DDS) office in the state in which the applicant resides. Using federal laws, regulations, and Agency policies and procedures, the state agency completes the disability decision for Social Security. In addition, the Social Security Administration (SSA) reviews a sample of initial disability claims prior to a final determination. Once these actions are completed, payment is made for allowances and notices are issued for denials.
The data contained in this dataset shows the overall cumulative number of elapsed days (including processing time for transit, technical determinations, medical determinations, and quality review) from the date of filing through the date payment is made or the denial notice is issued for all initial claims that require a medical determination for fiscal years 2008 and later.
You can download a dataset containing monthly data by fiscal year:
See the link below to learn more about SSA's disability programs.
This dataset provides the overall cumulative number of elapsed days (including processing time for transit, technical (non-medical aspects) determinations, medical determinations, and SSA quality review) from the date of filing through the date payment is made or the denial notice is issued for all initial claims that require a medical determination. The data include monthly processing time for fiscal years 2008 and later. Fiscal year average processing time is the only cumulative figure; all monthly data are for a single month.
The average processing time is the total number of days to process all initial disability claims requiring a medical determination divided by the total number of initial disability claims requiring a medical determination that we process during a particular month, or cumulatively for all months for the fiscal year.
Data Collection Description
We electronically collect elapsed time in days for every disability case processed.� The agency data source for disability processing time is the Social Security Unified Measurement System Title II and Title XVI Processing Time Operational Data Stores.� We use the Business Intelligence Gateway as the data mining tool for this dataset.
Data Dictionary
Field A: fiscal year, a 12 month period from October through September.
Field B: month, which is administratively set and is not necessarily an exact calendar month.
Field C: average processing (elapsed) time in days for disability claims, including combined initial Title II disability and Title XVI blind/disabled determinations, excluding technical denials, for each month and for the fiscal year.� Counts are only cumulative in the calculation for the fiscal year figure.

Last week's survey asked about royal ancestry in the family. The largest group of respondents, 46.2%, has no known royal lineages. 28% of respondents have read undocumented materials claiming to have royal lineages in their ancestry, but have not yet documented them. Only 25% of respondents have documented royal lineages.
This week's survey asks where your ancestors lived. Take the survey now!

The fast patter of the helicopter rotors matched the frantic beat of my heart as me and my squad moved in to an over run airport that makarov and his thugs trashed a couple weeks ago. Anyway the russians had invaded it and we had gotten word of it about 2 days ago and command finally decided to send us in. I for one was itching to shoot the scum that killed all those innocent people and then some.
"Rometan get ready to land!" my Staff Sargant yelled over the radio and i jumped at the loud sound that almost drowned out the loud roar of the Black hawks engine as we descend to or LZ. I got M4 assault rifle out and checked if it had a full clip... it did as always. But my Barrett handgun only had 10 rounds left given its 16 round capacity. I mentally kicked myself for forgetting to fully load it. As the rope dropped I had this weird feeling that someone was watching us. Just then out of the corner of my eye I saw an enemy solider pop out of his cover with an RPG at the ready. In a panic of thinking i should open fire or tell somebody i instinctively yelled at the top of my lungs, "RPG!". I put my rifle scope to my eye and fired a short burst toward the adversary. It hit him spot on and he went down before he could fire the rocket at our helicopter. But the loud shout caused our pilot to instinctively swerve out of the way. Alert and nervous i climbed down the rope and waited for the rest of my squad to join me.
My squad consisted of 5 men: me, my sstg. Jacob O'riely, our demo man pvt. Cole Rienheart, and the twins Ally and Eric Trenton... both privates. The sarge started barking orders to the twins who were both tall and scrawny and couldn't lift a Stinger to save their lives as they joined us at the bottom of the rope. Me and Cole are probably the sarges favorite. We've both had more experience than Eric and Ally combined and are better trained plus I'm a pretty good shot and Cole can blow up an M1 abrams tank with 1 frag grenade. When are squad settled down we started drawing battle plans off of the blueprints we got from the mission briefing. I was told to go to the cockpit of the airplane that was hooked up to the passenger loading dock. Once i got their i switched my M4 to single shot and attached my ACOG tactical scope, and silencer to it and put in a full magazine. Sarge and Cole's job was to go down the corridor leading to the escalators and take out any targets in that area. Ally and Eric's job was to go into the Burger Town and take out any enemy patrols.
As soon as i saw Sarge and Cole enter the hallway i aimed down my scope and scannaed for any potential threats. At about half way down the corridor i got to a news stand.... and right there i saw a figure in full mimitary uniform a Russian solider. He didn't look suspicious so i figured he didn't know that Sarge and Cole were right down the hall. I radioed in telling them that there was an enemy up ahead. "Roger that, moving to cover now" he said. I moved my scope over to Cole and saw that he was seperated from Sarge and was prone on the floor hiding behind a luggage cart and then i saw the sarge hiding behind a wall.suddenly Eric "Rometan! we need help Ally's wounded and I'm trying to fight off a group of spetsnaz. We need reinforcements!!!!"...... I wasn't surprised at all. But still i had to tell the Sarge "hey Sarge uh Ally and Eric are in some deep shit and they need help permission to rendezvous with them?"........ there was no response for a couple of seconds and then finally "permission granted! god dammit Cole get over here!!" i could here shots being fired in the background i replied.
"Uh you guys need some help?"
"Nah no need we got it" right after he said that there was an explosion.
"Crap not again!" he screamed. Then the line died. I half sprinted half fell to the place were Ally and Eric were and it didn't look as bad as Eric had said. Ally had only a minor flesh wound that had stopped bleeding and Eric had killed off the spetsnaz they were both curled up against the back of the counter. As soon as he heard my footsteps he popped up like a rabbit in a hole and pointed his P90 sub machinegun at me and i raised my hands up and said "Hold on there Eric it's just me"
"Jesus! I hought you were Spetsnaz dont snee-" thats all he got to before he got shot. He went down with a loud scream. Someone yelled "hit the deck" I couldn't tell who said it but I Listened to the voice and went into a full fledged belly flop and hit the ground hard. When i opened my eyes i heard a loud scream i thought it was Eric but it wasn't. It was the russian spetsnaz that was shooting at us then something stood over me and held out its hand...... i took it. When I got up i realized that it was Ally that helped me up. The bleeding in her left shoulder had stopped but she had a nasty scare on her right cheek that was still bleeding. After Ally and me got Eric taken care of we started to go in the direction of Cole and Sarge when we hit resistence from the Russians. Eric dived in to cover Ally and I opened fire. Ally missed her shot but i got him in the leg and he went down with a yelp. I rushed over to him and I rushed over to the Russian and lifted him up with one hand and put my hand gun on his forehead. Since we learned Russian in training i asked him how many left of them their were and he told me there was 8 left. He also said if I let him go he would tell his squad mates that he had heard something so they would walk right into our trap. About 12 minutes later I saw the Russian whos name was victor, he told me he had family living in Chicago and he wanted to get back to them. When Victor showed up with his squad i counted all of them.... 8 just like he said. Me and Eric were sharing the same cover and Ally was right across the hall. I put up 3 fingers as a count down to when we shoot, Victor was supposed to jump out of the way when he saw us and avoid being killed. 3....2.....1 "OPEN FIRE!!" as soon as they heard that Eric and Ally popped up from there cover and started unloading there cips into the enemy soliders almost all of them went down only 5 went for cover one of them being Victor. We had 4 highly trained black ops Russian Spetsnaz acting like little girls hiding behind luggage carts. I saw one of them pop there head out and i brought up my rifle up and fired on shot his head exploded in a mist of red and his body fell to the floor i saw Victor race over to one of his squadmates and shoot him in the back.... I forgotten that Victor was here and then he ran over to us their were only 2 left. Ally ran out of clips just then and Eric was low on ammo I also was low on ammo. Victor and me both went out of our cover to take out the remaining enemies in wich we succseeded in doing so..... but as soon as they went down about 6 more arrived "I thought you said ther were only 8 left!?!" i shouted to Victor
