The Nobel Prize in Physics this year includes a Canadian! One half of the prize goes to Charles K. Kao from Standard Telecommunication Laboratories and Chinese University of Hong Kong for "groundbreaking achievements concerning the transmission of light in fibers for optical communication". The...

Today the Nobel Committee announced the winners of the 2009 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medecine. The winners- Elizabeth H. Blackburn from UC San Francisco, Carol W. Greider from John Hopkins University, and Jack W. Szostak from Harvard Medical School- received the prize for the discovery of...

Did you guys know there are even these anti-vaccine nutters as pet owners? Well breeders actually. The vet clinic where Jamie volunteers at had this one dog breeder, who refused to vaccine for anything. Then, out of the blue she calls up, concerned for her dogs well being. Apparently she had...

I think he could have said "Don't you hate pants?" and it would have been as relevant.

LOL, which part(s)?

Bloody socialists...:-P

What do you do if you're looking to unfavourably portray the head of the Environmental Protection Agency? You probably wouldn't want to do what the American Enterprise Institute did. Dirty Harry? Oh Really? lol

Hey Ya! (mal) Filed under: Climate Science Instrumental Record Paleoclimate — group @ 30 September 2009 Interesting news this weekend. Apparently everything we’ve done in our entire careers is a “MASSIVE lie” (sic) because all of...

The Yamal ring-width chronology of Briffa (2000) My attention has been drawn to a comment by Steve McIntyre on the Climate Audit website relating to the pattern of radial tree growth displayed in the ring-width chronology "Yamal" that I first published in Briffa (2000). The substantive...

Japanese manufacturers long ago decided that for their manufacturing processes, a standard deviation of 0.8 was too large. They went with 0.7 or 0.75 I think. The fellow who pitched this idea to Detroit was told that 0.8 was fine. Years later, Toyota and Honda routinely hold their value longer...

05 Toyota Echo, and my trusty steed: It's the best bike they have for moderate trail/city riding. When I get a new one, I will be converting this one to a hybrid. Just because I can. Do you have any pics of your modded bike Lou? I'd love to see them. I used this bike for groceries until we...

The Teabagger Socialist-Free Purity Pledge I, ________________________________, do solemnly swear to uphold the principles of a socialism-free society and heretofore pledge my word that I shall strictly adhere to the following: I will complain about the destruction of 1st Amendment Rights...

An interesting view of the evolution of Darwin's thoughts and ideas. The caption of this website begins with a simple assertion that science is often perceived as a fixed notion, that changes very little after initial discovery. This of course is false, but is quite common for the "gotcha" folks...

One of the most important, and at the same time uncertain measures involved with the climate change we can expect in the future, is the sensitivity of our climate to forced perturbations. Examples of forced factors are: changes in solar output, changes to our orbital parameters, changes to the...

It's all dumb numerology. 2012 is =5, means a year of change. 12-21-12 made into letters is ABBAAB, and when you flip that, in Hebrew BA ABBA means "father comes/is coming". There's no shortage of nonsense out there about this date. It's crap, crap, and more crap.

Yes, that's about the sum of it, and I have a tight kitchen to work in, being that it's a $630 a month apartment...and I have a fish tank taking up about 1/5 of my counter space! Some day, I won't be living in a shoe box...

Scallops would go quite well. I think next time I might try that. Maybe with some of the small 100 count meats.

Nice literary quote, has nothing to do with empiricism though. You are a master of aversion Walter. Enjoy your blue Cool-Aid.

What part of that figure would lead you to assume anything about ice extent compared to the previous year? In any case, it's still dipping below the least squares linear trend. Wood for Trees: Interactive Graphs

Global warming...? ;-) Nice catch. You're a sharp one. I was thinking of trying an explanation like this one: DenialDepot: Arctic Sea Ice: Staggering Growth But I'm not that good. :lol:
