What is an Allergy?
An allergy is the response of the body's immune system to normally harmless substances, such as pollens, foods, and house dust mite. Whilst in most people these substances (allergens) pose no problem, in allergic individuals their immune system identifies them as a' threat' and produces an inappropriate response.
Allergies are classified into IgE mediated and non-IgE mediated allergies. In IgE mediated allergies the immune system produces exaggerated amounts of a distinct class of antibodies known as IgE antibodies that are, specific for the particular offending allergens. These IgE antibodies bind to the surface of cells in the body called mast cells which become 'IgE-sensitised' such that these cells can then identify particular allergens the next time they come in contact with the body. This process is called sensitisation, and at this stage there are no physical symptoms of an allergy.
Mast cells are present in tissues that are in contact with the external environment, including the skin, nose, eyes, mouth, throat, stomach and gut. The next time that the same allergen is encountered the mast cells identify it as an intruder and produce histamine and other chemicals. It is the release of these chemicals from mast cells and their effects on the body that result in allergic symptoms.
IgE-mediated allergy may cause a wide spectrum of symptoms depending on the allergen and the site of the body affected. In the nose histamine release results in symptoms of runny nose, itchy nose sneezing (rhinitis) that are commonly associated with itchy red eyes (conjunctivitis). In the skin symptoms include redness and nettle rash (hives, wheals). In the breathing tubes allergies cause wheezing, cough and shortage of breath (asthma), whereas in the gut symptoms such as abdominal discomfort ('tummy ache'), nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea may occur. Severe allergies may result in throat swelling, severe asthma and a drop in blood pressure. Severe allergic reactions are also known as anaphylaxis, and can be life-threatening.
The immune system may also respond to allergens without the production of the IgE antibody. The mechanisms of these so called non-IgE mediated allergies are far less well understood and are likely to involve multiple cells that react inappropriately to the presence of an allergen. Whereas symptoms of IgE mediated allergies occur rapidly and soon after exposure to the allergen, this may not be the case with non-IgE mediated allergies where symptoms may appear much later. In these cases it can be much harder to determine whether the problem is allergic in nature and if so which particular allergen is causing the problem
Allergy is widespread and affects approximately one in four of the population in the UK at some time in their lives. Each year the numbers are increasing with as many as half of all those affected being children.

CONWAY, S.C. --- Antoinette Bannister had a team-high 13 points and No. 19 North Carolina held Coastal Carolina under 27 percent from the field as the Tar Heels scored a 75-49 victory Sunday afternoon at The HTC Arena. Tierra Ruffin-Pratt added 11 and Megan Buckland chipped in 10 for Carolina, while Angelica Henry had 15 to lead Coastal.
Erika Johnson made her first appearance for UNC after transferring from Cal last December and finished with eight points and nine rebounds in 22 minutes. Krista Gross also had eight points and nine boards to go with six steals as the Tar Heels forced 28 Chanticleer turnovers.
Coastal (6-3) closed within four late in the first half before a 12-3 run gave UNC a 39-27 lead heading into the break.
The two teams combined for just three points in the first five minutes after halftime before Carolina put together a run that effectively ended the game. Bannister made three-pointers on consecutive possessions to make it 56-32 and a steal and score by Brittany Rountree extended the lead to 26. Coastal would never get back within 20 as the Tar Heels improved to 25-5 all-time in the Myrtle Beach area and a perfect 15-0 against the Chants.
All 11 healthy players scored for Carolina, but Xylina McDaniel missed her second straight game with a sore hamstring. Waltiea Rolle returned to score four points in just nine minutes but was limited due to an ankle injury. Hillary Fuller also missed out with a lingering foot injury.
Carolina continues its annual pre-Christmas trip to the Grand Strand Wednesday when the Tar Heels face East Carolina at 7 p.m. at the Myrtle Beach Convention Center.

Arsenal play host to Fulham this weekend, and look worthy odds-on shots at 7/15 with GunnersGaming to secure a much-needed three points.
Saturday's visitors have never won at Arsenal in any competition - losing 22 and drawing four of their 26 visits.
Arsène Wenger's team put in a much-improved performance on Tuesday, drawing 2-2 against Schalke in Germany.
Theo Walcott scored and drew praise from his manager for his display in Gelsenkirchen. He has now scored eight goals this season, despite the majority of his appearances coming as a substitute.
Walcott is a 6/1 shot with GunnersGaming to score first and 3/2 to get on the scoresheet during the 90 minutes.
Thomas Vermaelen, who scored at both ends in last season's 1-1 draw here, is due a goal and looks a lively outsider at 16/1 in the first goalscorer market.
The last 10 league games between the pair at Emirates Stadium have produced an average of 2.1 goals per game. Under 2.5 goals is priced up at 5/4 while over 2.5 is 3/5.
In that period, the most popular winning scoreline has been 2-1 and that outcome is a 37/5 chance with GunnersGaming.

I own a MkII Jetta, so I'm a member here. A buddy at work has a 2003 Passat VR6 Sedan. He parked the car in the driveway last Friday and when his wife went to go shopping on Saturday, it wouldn't start.
She says the dash lights lit up, but no crank / no start. He went out and indeed it did not start. He said while looking around he noticed a smell of smoke from around the firewall. His wife insisted they look at new cars, and they ended up buying a new Honda that same day. The plates and registration were transferred to the new Honda.
He wants the car gone and offered it to me for $1,000.
Now, I know this is a pretty vague description of the problem, but since he doesn't live very close, I figured I would ask if there is a common problem to these cars? Where should I start looking?
I'm not an idiot (despite what my previous writings imply) and I worked as an auto mechanic for around 10 years ending in 1994. I know that he maintained the car very well. It has 180K, has had the timing belt done twice, the a/c compressor done twice, and a recent repair or two that I can't remember. I'm just trying to get my head around if I want to get started on another car / project.
Thanks in advance for any helpful advice.

The noted improvement should also be noted because Buffalo played in what many consider to be the hardest division in the NHL. The Northeast Division was the only division to have all five teams above .500 and at least 85 points.'

Take an adventure holiday in KYRGYZSTAN with World Expeditions, one of the world's leading travel companies.
Kyrgyzstan is bordered by China, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan and the major geographical features are the peaks of Tien Shan and the associated valleys and basins that encompass entire country.
In ancient times Kyrgyzstan occupied an important place on the Silk Road particularly the town of Osh, which is Kyrgyzstan's second and oldest city, now celebrating its 3000th anniversary. The ancestors of the present day Kyrgyz people probably lived in southern Siberia until the 10th century, but under Mongol incursions began to spread southwards. Later on the area, which is now Kyrgyzstan, came under the Manchus and from the 18th century it was part of Kokand Khanate. The Russians invaded in the late 19th century and the land was then amalgamated into the Soviet Union until 1991, when Kyrgyzstan gained its independence.

Parents in a small Washington State community are infuriated after their 11-year-old children were given graphic descriptions of oral and anal sex during a sex education class led by an elementary school principal.
Fifth-graders at Onalaska Elementary School were supposed to get a lesson about HIV-AIDS, but the class discussion turned graphic when a child asked about other forms of sexual activity. The principal, who happened to be teaching the class, then told the children about oral and anal sex.
"I'm one pissed off cowboy," parent James Gilliand told Fox News Radio. "I didn't appreciate them teaching my daughter – who is innocent of that – at all."
Gilliland and his wife, Kadra, were among the moms and dads in Onalaska, about 73 miles south of Tacoma, demanding answers from their local school system – and so far – they are still waiting.
"I was just shocked because I trusted my little country school," Kadra Gilliland told Fox News Radio. "I didn't think they were going to talk about such things. I trusted by school – that's the bottom line and they crossed the line."
School officials did not return calls seeking comment.
However, Superintendent Scott Fenter defended the principal's action to local media and said that the lesson did not go too far.
"I think the principal handled it appropriately at the time; she only gave factual information, no demonstrations," Fenter told NWCN.com. "Because in sixth grade they start becoming sexually aware and you've got to teach them ahead of time."
In an interview with Seattle's Q-13 Fox News, Fenter said the lessons came from "state-adopted curriculum."
"In reality, she stuck to the curriculum," he told Seattle's Q-13 Fox News. "It's pretty difficult to talk about STDs or sexually transmitted diseases without explaining what that is, or how it's transmitted."
Since 1988 Washington State has required some sort of sex education starting in the fifth grade.
"Kids leaving 5th grade and moving into middle school start getting exposed to a lot more information, and we know that`s the age where many children start to become sexually active, unfortunately," Fenter told the Fox affiliate. "And that`s a scary thought, (but) that`s the truth."
Parent Curtis Pannkuk said if that's the case – the curriculum needs to be changed.
"One of the other parents said it well – they raped the minds of the ten year old, eleven year old kids," he told Fox News Radio. "Children were traumatized."
The Pannkuk and Gilliland families said they knew something was wrong when the daughters came home from school. They were quiet and withdrawn.
"You could tell she was embarrassed," Jean Pannkuk told Fox News Radio. "She didn't want to have to repeat what had been said. It was really sad to see her struggle with feeling like she was responsible."
Pannkuk and her husband sat their daughter down and asked her explain what she was taught in the class.
"You take a man's penis and you put it in your mouth – that's what the girls do to the boys," their daughter told the couple. "The boys spread the girls legs apart and put their mouths down on the vaginas."
Pannkuk said he became enraged as his 11-year-old daughter recounted what the principal had told the classroom.
"Steam was coming out my ears," he said. "I was very, very upset. I understand that they need to teach these kids sex education – but 11-year-olds? I have a problem with that. The wife and I were very – very upset."
Gilliland said another child explained to their parents that it "was basically like a lollipop."
"There are a lot of pissed off parents besides this pissed-off cowboy," he said. "I've been told they're getting sexually active, younger and younger – maybe in the city – but not here in the country."
But Supt. Fenter told Seattle's Fox affiliate that parents were sent a notice informing them about the program – and that they had a right to review the curriculum. But he said, only three parents showed up.
Mrs. Pannkuk said she was aware of the class "but I didn't know it was going to be that explicit."
Gilliland said he has no problem teaching sex education – but this particular class went too far.
"It's one thing to teach about reproduction," he said. 'She knows about breeding her guinea pigs, horses, dogs and so on. She knows how babies are born and how they are created, but when they go teaching them these extra acts – it's appalling."
Mrs. Gilliland said it's important for parents across the nation to get involved and to pay attention.
"Be more involved in your school," she said. "See what your kids are learning. Pay attention. Talk to your kids."
She said many of the families are now dealing with the aftermath of the class.
"She should be bouncing on the trampoline, riding horses – doing normal kid stuff," she said of her daughter. "We don't need to talk about that stuff at that age.
But now they do.
"The damage is done," Pannkuk said.

I think most creative people would agree that when you aren't trying so hard to make some great masterpiece and are just trying to satisfy your own artistic desires is when you will have the most success. Your art will reflect this and you will have more satisfaction. Don't worry about technical skills. Those will come with time. Probably the most important thing is to learn how to create different effects with halftones. They aren't necessary but can give your shirt a different feel. So keep at it because I can see you have the skill and the desire.
Thank you so much for the wonderful tips. I will definetley try using halftones for this next derby.

JawsForJesus Guerrilla Publishing Haus, Inc. began as a way for a very bored office intern to retain his artistic dignity in the face of 9-5 office drudgery. It was guerrilla publishing in the truest sense of the words; print runs conducted only after everyone had gone to lunch, stolen paper/toner/staples/etc., to say nothing of some extremely liberal use of the Alt + F4 function. Nowadays, JFJGPHInc. is based out of Portland, Oregon, and no longer relies on stolen office supplies for its survival, instead operating under the benevolent auspices of the Independent Publishing Resource Center.
Current publications include:
The Rhode Island School for the Feeble-Minded: this 8-volume series forms the bulk of what was produced during those early days of interoffice daring and deceit. It takes its name from the institution which housed and educated developmentally-disabled youth in the smallest state during the early twentieth century. The series is "dormant" if not necessarily "concluded".

Puberty Urges: JFJGPHInc.'s foray into educational pamphleteering, containing vital information for those about to face the onslaught of the Sex Hormones. Now available online!
Stop Gentrification: a visual history of the great showdown between the Moon Slugs and some white people. Now available online!
A Monopoly on the Legitimate Use of Force: what began as a Skype conversation ended up as a potent reminder that war just straight-up sucks no matter how drunk you are. Now available online!
Bradley Logan: interns are people too. This special "one-off" is the Twitter account for an intern working for the Resource Development Administration during the events of James Cameron's film Avatar. Apparently they're filming Avatar 2; maybe we haven't heard the last from Bradley Logan.
Space Bigots: the adventures of the Westboro Baptist Church in space. Trigger warning for homophobic language, which the Author personally detests but used only for the sake of verisimilitude (for what it is worth, the offenders get pretty much exactly what they have coming to them). There is the possibility that this will be released soon in a print version, if the Author can get his shit together.
WORKS BY OTHERS: when JFJGPHInc. was started, it was a vehicle for one man to put into print his hopes/dreams/fears/recurring delusions of grandeur. With that in mind, JFJGPHInc. is proud and also kind of flabbergasted to have published the works of others. Those publications include:
Drift:PVD by Invisible Cities: JFJGPHInc. owes a great deal of personal and - professional? - gratitude to the city and denizens of Providence, RI. If you ever find yourself wandering its brick-lined streets and thinking, "I wish I had a map of this city that wasn't so damned accurate", then do we have just the psychogeographical Situationist text for you! Use this handy map of Florence, Italy (Providence's sister city) to navigate your way around the Creative Capital; the idea being to let the benevolent gods of whimsy, luck, and creative imagination guide your way as opposed to the capitalistic machinations of efficiency, expediency, and practicality. Go have an experience and write about it at driftprovidence.wordpress.com.
Chapbooks by Donald Food: Philadelphian poet Donald Food is probably the most talented writer JFJGPHInc. has ever published, and this is coming from the guy who started the damn thing in the first place. Whether or not you're a person who likes to read poetry, you owe it to yourself to read everything he's ever written. You can start with either of the two chapbooks we've had the honor of publishing:
Figure Without Hammer: "twenty page zine featuring two poems in twelve parts. One is about boxing and one is about interrogation. Both are about metaphysics, mostly. Both are about formal axiomatic systems, sort of."
Deer Lay Traps: "thirty two page poetry zine starring some quote by Udo Kier. It features short poems about ghosts, the Vienna Circle, natural disasters, what your grandparents listened to while fucking, and so on. It also features one long poem about Hegel and birds and one slightly less long poem about Gaius Valerius Catullus, semi-professional blogger."
All 'zines are available for the price of printing/postage or a trade, except the e-zines, which are free because you are beautiful and you deserve them.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Mr. P-Body
We've "heard" of cranks not machined for the pilot bearing (Pontiacs do NOT use a bushing, bearing is NDH #7109), but I've not actually seen one,. The vast majority were machined for the bearing. And he's right, the pre-64 stuff has a bit different "hub" dimensions.
Since it comes in on the "driver's" side in the Pontiac, we always thought the CHEVY cable was on the "wrong" side... (:-
I also tend to agree- a free engine is bound to be worth something- if not now, then down the road.
if you have the room, there's no reason NOT to get a free engine. You'll find a use for it eventually, weather its to put in your car, or maybe horse-trade for something better suited to your application.
Best thing for you to do is follow most of whats been said; ditch the factory rods and use a pair of later heads with the correct chambers for your build. We build stickshift transmissions and the only issue I ever see with a pontiac build aside from the 'speedometer cable goes in the wrong side of the trans' is that SOME people seem to have had an issue with using a crank from an automatic trans equipped car in a motor destined for a manual gearbox. Sometimes the pilot hole in the crank isn't machined properly for the pilot bearing/bushing for the manual trans. This can also crop up in early chevys (283s and 265s) and occasionally we see offshore stroker cranks with a looser bushing/bearing fit than we'd like to see. So make sure you get the correct dimensions and check your pilot hole. It may be easier to use the automatic if the crank needs to be machined to get the manual trans in the equation
|Mr. P-Body
The adapters make it so the block will fit, no problem. You're going to need the later heads for brackets to all "line up" correctly. There's one bolt "hole" missing in the 389 heads.
Ed, where did you ever "hear" Pontiacs have bad cranks? Simply not so. In fact, the crank is the strongest part of the Pontiac. The block is the "weak link" once the cast rods are disposed of. Vinny Meyeda of SoCal, runs a 6.90s F/C with a 406 CID Pontiac with a factory nodular crank, spinning to 8,800 every pass. I don't "fool" with Pontiacs. I build them at the highest level (one 505 has produced over 2,600 HP). The 475 in Dirty Bird made 40 passes, shifting @ 9,200, without a single bearing or piston issue. The rod maker says that's all the rods are good for over 2,000 HP. And the same 8 pistons that were in it on the first pass, were in it on the 40th. How many blown/alcohol hemis and BBCs can "say" that, while setting new ET records at the same time? DB was the quickest Pontiac-powered car in the world for nearly 2 years. Still IS the quickest Pontiac "funny", and hasn't been down the track in over a year. The KRE crowd is encroaching, though. Bill Mellot's F/C went a 6.50 at Norwalk earlier this month. We're gonna have to drag it back out and put a "tune" on it, to move the "bar" out further. We'll see what Dave (owner) has in mind. "Catching" the Butler ProMod is going to be a chore, let me tell you! (6.27 @ 22, IIRC)
Virtually everything you speak of is obsolete for some 20 years now. With the advent of NMCA and muscle car "racing", developement of the ol' Injun has resumed, and they're "back" with a vengance. Afterall, can't have muscle car races without GTOs, and can't put Chevy motors in GTOs "just because", so the money flowed and the new parts came forth. Today we have a selection of blocks, heads, cranks, and everything else, that rivals that of BBF and MOPAR. At the last "Super Chevy" show we attended at VMP (2010), the quickest GM-powered car was a Pontiac (engine), not a Chevy. Dirty Bird had them ALL "covered". One of the exhibition cars was a ProMod with an 800" Chevy in it, and a BIG fogger system. We had him by .2 in the 1/8th. There WERE two ProMods with "Brad" motors. They had US covered by about .15. In the competition, Frank Gostalya's GrandAm (540 CID, single 4-bbl., gasoline, no adders) went 7.50s all day,very near 200. The only two Chevys that were quicker had 738 CID and big foggers. They ran 7.40s. Yes, things have changed a LOT coming out of Oakland County... Circle the wagons, boys, it's an INJUN ATTACK!!!

|These guys know more about 389's than I do. I used to fool around a lot with the 400's back in the 70 and early 80's with great sucess. But I can tell you that Pontiacs were known to have weak connecting rods, and it was worth every penny to have the cranks cross drilled and use full groove main bearings. Considering gas today I am thinking you would be building a pump gas motor ? If so keep the compression no more than 10:0 or maybe 10:5 to 1. Lunati used to make some cams that worked extremely well in the 400's. Headers were always a pain in the keester because of the angle of the exhaust manifold bolts, and then you get into the separated Ram Air heads. 400 HP is easily obtainable thou. With a Pontiac you just have to come up with a plan and stick to it. They are not as diverse as SBC, BBC, and some others. You have to know exactly what heads your going to use B4 you buy pistons, and cam, etc. Just make sure you use all forged & balanced rotating assy for the lower end AFTER you decide what heads your going to use. If your choice of heads doesn't already have screw in rocker studs pay the price and get it done ! And for Gods sake don't use the tri power...LOL They were nothing but a fire hazard even back then. I always had great luck with Pontiac motors. But it came with big disappointments at times as well. They are good motors to build as long as you learn thier weakness's first. Bad OEM connecting rods, usually bad OEM cranks, head to piston issues at times, press in rocker studs mostly, and if you can use the Ram Air seprate exhaust port heads opposed to the more conventional 2 inner exhaust side by side ports. Just make sure you can obtain a car that this 389 will work in....LOL Shame to build it and have nothing to put it in....LOL
|So does that mean the trans am is still a negative or can it be done as far as getting the 389 in it??
|Mr. P-Body
Ames Performance and Performance Years both offer the mounting "adapters" needed to install the earlier blocks in later cars. Not a cheesy "fix", either.
For all intents and purposes, 389 has exactly the same potential as 400. The only parametric difference is the bore size, .060" smaller. Cranks interchange. Using 400 heads from the late '60s makes 400 HP a slam-dunk. Good cam, induction and exhaust and you're "there".
What Lynn (LATECH) says about the starter mounting is correct. All '64 GTOs had the "block mount", but most of the "big cars" still had the bell-housing mount. NO problem is "insurmountable", just impractical.
|Hey thanks very much for the info I'm sure I'm in for a learning experience but I am committed to the 389 for as it was free and I want to bring it back to life for my first rebuild and hopefully find something reasonable to put it in. My friend is dropping it off to me this weekend and when I get the numbers off it and learn a little more about the motor I'll certainly keep u posted for some pointers. Thanks again latech
|www.Butlerperformance.com is allways good for a little inspiration Heehee.
Well ,it will make 400 horses pretty easy.But it wont be correct for a GTO .
The 63 back 389 used a bell housing mounted starter , making it a bit harder to run a decent trans.
It would be OK for an older poncho like 63 and back.
I would look around, shop around, ask questions.
You have done the first thing you should do when pursuing a build. You have decided to build a street machine/daily car, with around 400 horses. Totally do-able, and sure to be loads of fun.
So , for a street machine, you need to get a car. That will be your next choice.THEN look for an engine to build, as I said some wont bolt in or work correctly.
A 400 is an awesome engine, a 389 is also good but remember what I said about motor mount bosses(bolt holes)
You wont find a 389 with the correct bolt bosses for an F body (firebird-T/A ) so dont even bother. And the 400 was built in 1967-up. But the 400 wont have the extra bolt bosses for an F body either, unless you get a 70 or later block. It pays to shop, but get schooled a little first.
Do some looking at block casting numbers and date codes and such.
http//:Wallace Racing-Drag Racing Pontiac powered Firebirds,Trans Ams and Dragsters is a good place to start with some basic info. They have a lot of tech info that you will want to learn about.Like how to ID a block from the casting number, where to look, how to date it, by date code and how to decipher... lotys of good reading over there.
I will post a few others for you too. Later
|Haha! It already sounds disappointing. Even if I decide to put it in a goat, do u think I can achieve the horse power I'm lookin for or is it basically a nastalgic boat anchor?
The motor mounts wont bolt on as there are no bolt bosses on the 389 for an F Body car.
Also the 64 and earlier 389 had no bolt bosses on the block for a starter either.
You need to get a 70 or later block as they have 5 bolt bosses for motor mounts. Even then some block may not have the bosses drilled and tapped, but that isnt hard to do when you are building the engine.
For a good street engine the 455 is a good choice. No replacement for displacement.
Before you buy ANY block, do some research and ask questions.
Dont get that 1963 389 you are talking about, unless you want loads of dissapointment.
|I'm lookIn to get around 400hP
|I don't have anything yet but I'm shooting for a 70s trans am. This will be the first engIne rebuild I've done and I'm pretty mechanically inclined and grew up around cars and have a friend that is gonna help me but I'd like to go into this with some of my own knowledge. The 389 is a single carb 2 barrel wich I believe stock puts out 280 or 290 hP. Do u think this is a possibility or a waste of time?? I figured since I got the engine free it was the right price and I've been wanting to do this for a long time.

hey guys! another quick review and some close ups.. I got really lucky and got one of the first Clothears Costumes ESB Boba Fett Flight suits and vests. MY GOD! I can not believe the detail and screen accuracy they put into this bad boy! Ill also post the video of the unboxing (see bottom) I did for Keegen.
I will say, all the little-little details that they put into this thing are unreal. fits me like a glove too.. Ill do another short photo shoot soon on a mannequin so you all can see this Absolutely sick! and totally worth every penny (if you are into the screen accuracy thing)!
If you have any questions or would like to see a close up of an area, let me know!
FP V4 on it

it is sooo horrible!! do not play!
it is sooo horrible!! do not play!
Definitely wouldn't say that it's horrible. Just extremely outdated both in terms of graphics and gameplay.
The game unfortunately falls short in its attempt to teach things to the players. And a nearly non-existant community doesn't exactly help that.
I wanted to play it, but at my first look, it was just awfull. They should make Anarchy Online 2 or at least update there current game. It might have been a good game 5 years back, but like Justinuss said, it's very much outdated.
I played anarchy online 2003-2010 and i been playing free since 2010.
The only thing outdated about Anarchy Online is it's graphics.
The game play is great, it's just meant for people with a lot of time to throw into the game and requires a larger population then it has now.
There are too many things players with all expansions need to do, and when you need to do something there might not be enough people who also need to do it, to form a team, that is why a good "guild" or friends is a must for a lot of things in the game.
There was a time you didn't need a good guild or friends to get stuff done, the population was good enough to find people off the "looking for team" system for anything, any time of day. Or you could just go to a spot and find people near there to join up with.

Mountains and molehills
Alas! none of this will come to pass. In this case, someone's programming error will be fixed and nothing will change except for the reporting of a single month's anomaly. No heads will roll, no congressional investigations will be launched, no politicians (with one possible exception) will take note. This will undoubtedly be disappointing to many, but they should comfort themselves with the thought that the chances of this error happening again has now been diminished. Which is good, right?
In contrast to this molehill, there is an excellent story about how the scientific community really deals with serious mismatches between theory, models and data. That piece concerns the 'ocean cooling' story that was all the rage a year or two ago. An initial analysis of a new data source (the Argo float network) had revealed a dramatic short term cooling of the oceans over only 3 years. The problem was that this didn't match the sea level data, nor theoretical expectations. Nonetheless, the paper was published (somewhat undermining claims that the peer-review system is irretrievably biased) to great acclaim in sections of the blogosphere, and to more muted puzzlement elsewhere. With the community's attention focused on this issue, it wasn't however long before problems turned up in the Argo floats themselves, but also in some of the other measurement devices – particularly XBTs. It took a couple of years for these things to fully work themselves out, but the most recent analyses show far fewer of the artifacts that had plagued the ocean heat content analyses in the past. A classic example in fact, of science moving forward on the back of apparent mismatches. Unfortunately, the resolution ended up favoring the models over the initial data reports, and so the whole story is horribly disappointing to some.
Which brings me to my last point, the role of models. It is clear that many of the temperature watchers are doing so in order to show that the IPCC-class models are wrong in their projections. However, the direct approach of downloading those models, running them and looking for flaws is clearly either too onerous or too boring. Even downloading the output (from here or here) is eschewed in favour of firing off Freedom of Information Act requests for data already publicly available – very odd. For another example, despite a few comments about the lack of sufficient comments in the GISS ModelE code (a complaint I also often make), I am unaware of anyone actually independently finding any errors in the publicly available Feb 2004 version (and I know there are a few). Instead, the anti-model crowd focuses on the minor issues that crop up every now and again in real-time data processing hoping that, by proxy, they'll find a problem with the models.
I say good luck to them. They'll need it.
