More hot air than hot air
Andrew Bolt
–, Tuesday, March, 31, 2009, (8:12am)
Professor Phillip Stott says the hot air is going out of the global warming balloon:
Yesterday, a mere 35,000 protesters [by contrast, between 60,000 and 80,000 folk participated in the Peterloo protests of August 16, 1819] took to the streets of London to shout about - er, well - everything, from evil bankers to 'global warming' and the urgent need to support motor-car manufacturing. To say that the protest was both inchoate and incoherent would be to understate its naivety. Moreover, it took no fewer than 150 separate organisations, from trade unions to charities, to muster the 35,000 souls. Meanwhile, some 70,000 diehards trekked to Wembley to watch a fairly boring friendly match between England and Slovakia (at least England won 4-0). By contrast, in 2002, the Countryside Alliance persuaded over 400,000 people to march in defence of hunting the fox and country living, a figure confirmed by the Metropolitan Police; and just think of those 1819 Peterloo statistics when adjusted for relative population size. Moreover, the 'global warming' contingent yesterday was, as usual, a small, if rather noisy, runt....
Sadly, I think that neither our politicians, nor the mainstream media like the BBC and The Times, have quite yet grasped how few people are convinced by the 'global warming' panic. I speak to many groups around the country, and I am constantly amazed (and encouraged, I might add) by the level of scepticism I encounter.
Stott explains the five big challenges to the global warming scare.

The annoying part of these meaningless protests is the amount of publicity these people receive from the media. It is completely out of proportion to both the number attending and the people interested in it. What they hope to achieve, especially when they resort to violence and vandalism, is a mystery.
Unfortunately, it is really frustrating how astonishingly ignorant most of the general public are in regards to all things political. They readily parrot conventional wisdoms and clichés created by the mainstream media regardless of any factual basis. The danger is that some eventually believe the nonsense these protesters are shouting and the media so readily reports.

Yes, Verax. Which is why some of us worry that the democratic process is being perverted by (a) the mainstream media feeding lines to the public, then following through with the "feedback effect" of polls, which are made into more news: then (b) the syndrome desribed by Andrew Breitbart, whereby leftist groups troll conservative blogs en masse to spread disinformation.
Stand by for G20 mayhem, reported by the MSM as if it were the brave revolutionary souls in the streets battling the evil empires rather than beating down the nannys who've fed them.
What a stark difference to the reporting in the Guardian!
They hoped for 10,000, but in the end more than triple that number turned out on London's streets for the biggest demonstration since the beginning of the economic crisis.

Yes Jenn:
'Wind farms' are just the product of a dangerous green ideology.
If wind energy was the one practical and affordable answer to global warming then I would grit my teeth at the loss of the countryside and accept it. But I know that they are no answer to global warming in northern Europe. The Germans who have invested more than anyone in this form of energy are finding, according to newspaper Der Spiegel, that despite more than 17,000 wind turbines across Germany the nation is now emitting more CO2 than before it built them.
The Germans despise the things. They've ruined the countryside and they don't work.
You gotta love the Greens!
Tue 31 Mar 09 (07:33pm)
So Al, the Germans hate their Windmills; but the Dutch loves theirs. Meat or poison, I can't decide.
No, he didn't. Surely.
He did! Wow. A link to Dr. Mörner's recent appearance in another of Booker's denial pieces.
Classic. And Andrew just can't get enough.
In case anyone cares, here's the sea level data. Forgive Bolt for a moment for his absurd claim that this data shows no increase in sea level and take a good hard look yourself.
And here is what Dr. Mörner get's up to when he is not convincing lazy journalists that he is an expert in sea level.
And still Bolt continues to flog his dead horse - that people like Mörner should be listened to instead of organisations like these:

Dan R,
You're correct, Fort Dennison has been inundated.
Tue 31 Mar 09 (10:13am)
poor Dan, you still have not worked out that your flogging a dead horse. The Cold snaps around the World are getting worse. The wind power is not working. Brumby turning on new gas powered plants. Maybe you should tell all the climate change lovers to stop flying around the World to all these conferences. There is video conferencing available now. Al Gore better mothball that private jet, and dim his Mansions lights dont you think.
Tue 31 Mar 09 (10:30am)
Dan - why not listen to these scientists?
Tue 31 Mar 09 (10:36am)
Poor ol' Dan.
Here, read this, absorb, comprehend, then get back to us.
IF there is one scientist who knows more about sea levels than anyone else in the world it is the Swedish geologist and physicist Nils-Axel Morner, formerly chairman of the INQUA International Commission on Sea Level Change.
And the uncompromising verdict of Morner is that all this talk about the sea rising is nothing but a colossal scare story.
"The sea is not rising," he says. "It hasn't risen in 50 years." If there is any rise this century it will "not be more than 10cm, with an uncertainty of plus or minus 10cm".
And quite apart from examining the hard evidence, he says, the elementary laws of physics (latent heat needed to melt ice) tell us that the apocalypse conjured up by Al Gore and co could not possibly come about.
The reason why Morner, formerly a Stockholm professor, is so certain that these claims about sea level rise are 100 per cent wrong is that they are all based on computer model predictions, whereas his findings are based on "going into the field to observe what is actually happening in the real world".
When running the International Commission on Sea Level Change, he launched a special project on the Maldives, whose leaders have for 20 years been calling for vast sums of international aid to stave off disaster.
Six times he and his expert team visited the islands, to confirm that the sea has not risen for half a century. Before announcing his findings, he offered to show the inhabitants a film explaining why they had nothing to worry about. The government refused to let it be shown.
Similarly in Tuvalu, where local leaders have been calling for the inhabitants to be evacuated for 20 years, the sea has, if anything, dropped in recent decades.
(Christopher Booker in Britain's The Sunday Telegraph)

I'm impressed. Great argument. You know I can type big names too. I am comforted though. It would appear that some professional organizations are still sane like one in which I had associate membership, the American Association of Petroleum Geologists. Then again, what would we know about Earth and Science? We were all in the pay of Big Oil, of course.
Tue 31 Mar 09 (10:40am)
"...people like Mörner should be listened to instead of organisations like these..."
Yes, absolutely Dan R, Andrew is right.
I do agree though that Birka was at Bjärka-Säby in Östergötland rather than at Kalmar in Småland.
And that a mustache feels like having the skeleton of a herring glued to ones upper lip.
Tue 31 Mar 09 (10:44am)
Morner is good value; his study at the Maldives is a classic and is one of the 6 sea level links here;
There has been another maldives study which is even more damning of the models;
danny's gratuitous ad hom link about Morner and appeal to authority through the listing of impressive sounding groups is disingenuous; his link to the Colarado sea-level monitoring shows no abnormal or unusual sea-level movement and in fact sea-level has dropped over the last few years as danny's link shows; not only are the seas dropping but they are cooling as well as a new study by Loehle shows. As usual, no support for AGW here.
Tue 31 Mar 09 (11:26am)
I checked just one of your referenced sites and found that:
In March 2007, the European Academy of Sciences and Arts issued a formal declaration in which they stated, "Human activity is most likely responsible for climate warming.
Their statement which continues in a similar vein hardly sounds like it is backed up by indisputable scientific data!
I am not going to bother with checking your other referenced sites. This subject needs to be determined on real data not opinions, computer guesswork etc.
On 23 Jan this year the Japanese launched their GGSAT satellite. Data from this will be the first satellite that actually provides space based observations of atmospheric carbon dioxide. The USA version failed on launch. Perhaps data from this source will be more relevant to determining man-made impact on Earth's climate. Meanwhile - opinions are just that - opinions.
Tue 31 Mar 09 (11:45am)
You can quote until the cows come home duckhead .... not interested.
Tue 31 Mar 09 (01:24pm)
Dan, I stopped clicking on your spurious links many moons ago, and I suggest everybody else do the same, to save reading your paid renewable propaganda.
Tue 31 Mar 09 (01:39pm)
"hands up-those who believe in the hypothesis of AGW?....THE AYES HAVE IT"
Well ,no that's not how science works-scientific truth is defined by numbers/data ...and as Einstein said in so many words-it only takes one true fact from one scientist to prove a general theory wrong-and history has shown this many times- consensus can be wrong..in fact consensus in science is BS.
Also since you are a fervent AGW believer-tell us how many degrees the planet will cool if oz reduces its c02 emmissions by 100% in one year and can you show us the calculations/scientific paper/scientist…
sdi/sf/Daryl and others have failed ..what about you -believer or fraudster like the rest..squawk.
Tue 31 Mar 09 (01:48pm)
DanR: I'm thrilled that you have decided to preserve the glorious tradition of the late SDI and taken up the mantle of "The nong who has read an AGW website and now feels qualified to casually slag off a distinguished and heavily published scientist".
Like many scientists who work in the field, Morner has become controversial by pointing out the discrepancies between what people think should be happening and what is happening. Famously, in 1999, he was called in as a commissioner with INQUA to support the claim by the government of the Maldives that they were in the process of being flooded by global warming and needed some financial compensation pretty damn quickly. Sadly Morner proved that, rather than drowning in the rising anthropogenic foam, the sea-level around the Maldives was actually falling. When he offered to explain this good news to the locals to calm their fears, he was warned-off by the Maldives Government – and was promptly decommissioned from INQUA for his troubles.
His views on the actual measured rise in mean sea level are also controversial – principally because in 2003 he pointed out that the satellite measurements don't show any systematic increase in sea level. After an embarrassed silence lasting four years, he was finally chipped that he had foolishly assumed the satellite data was accurate and precise. In reality, as the stupid man should have known, the data that make up the graph splashed around by cognoscenti like Dan are – ahem – not actually measurements at all. They are in fact calculated artefacts that 'correct' the wobbly satellite data and link the corrected satellite 'data' to selected tide gauge measurements of sea level (including to tide gauges that are known to throw high readings because they are subsiding).
Oddly enough nobody has addressed SNIP...too long. Bolt Moderators.
Tue 31 Mar 09 (03:26pm)
Oh not that pasted list again.
I think it's number 30 on Schopenhauer's 'Art of Being Right' (i.e. Appeal to Authority Rather Than Reason).
Many years ago, I was a member of a professional organization and the office holders were motivated by politics and prestige—prestige that was lacking from their professional achievements.
Hasn't it ever occurred to you that these organizations may be a trifle self-interested?
Try to find an electrician who'll tell you that your house doesn't need re-wiring, or a plumber that it doesn't need new pipe-work.
Tue 31 Mar 09 (04:25pm)
Well Dan, the response from Mike D @ 11.45am was at least honest. Ignorant, arrogant, nasty and narrow-minded, but honest at least.
You are wasting your time trying to talk reason to this lot Dan - they're not interested in reason.
They keep asking for links and evidence - then proceed to ignore it. It's not a mindset I understand but it's surprisingly common.
Tue 31 Mar 09 (04:41pm)
Last Friday I had the misfortune to attend an event in Rosebud and was confronted with weatherman and fanatical Global Warming proponent Rob Gell. After I, and others, escaped his witheringly boring ratbaggery I walked along the beach front. Funny, but it looks exactly the same as it did when I was a kid enjoying summer holidays. No waves lapping the foreshore or shop fronts. The beach is still there, the caravan and camping area was water free and I saw nobody building an Ark. So Dan R. you keep hoping and praying that something happens soon before because you, Gell, etc. are going to be so red in the face we'll be able to use you as Christmas lights.
Tue 31 Mar 09 (06:14pm)
Actually you're right, Davo. No, seriously:
"…they're not interested in reason.
They keep asking for links and evidence - then proceed to ignore it. It's not a mindset I understand but it's surprisingly common."
When Dan presents evidence that Nils Morner, a geophysicist, is mucking around trying to apply geophysics in an archeological dig we can't ignore it. We must assume it means he's a loony and tide gauge data that contradicts the satellite data is not to be trusted.
Tue 31 Mar 09 (06:32pm)
For Phillip Stott to link to Christopher Booker on sea-level,I just have to ask why? Booker is a fabulist. Just go to the source at Boulder, as Dan R has.
You know ,the graphic that Andrew isn't so keen on linking to anymore....
Tue 31 Mar 09 (07:18pm)
I walked along the beach front. Funny, but it looks exactly the same as it did when I was a kid enjoying summer holidays
Geez Uka, you can pick a 3" change in water levels over 40 years, bloody incredible. Tell me Uka, was it low tide or high tide when you walked along the beach as a kid?
Tue 31 Mar 09 (09:56pm)
Janama, consider for moment the paragraph they have signed on to.
"no net global warming for over a decade now"
Roy Spencer, who signed on to the above, runs a data set that publishes a continuing warming trend of 0.128K per decade, in contrast with the above statement. Interesting no? And that's before you get to the other three main data sets, all of which show greater warming that Spencer (interesting in itself), and particularly NASA's GISSTEMP series, which shows a record high annual average in 2005.
"The computer models forecasting rapid temperature change abjectly fail to explain recent climate behavior"
Easily disproved by showing the models and recent temperature behaviour. Scroll down for update to mid 2008. Check any temperature you like to check what's happened since.
The real question is, what would motivate these people to sign on to a paragraph that is so easily disproved? Why does it take a right-wing think tank to assemble these people - can't they just publish in journals like the rest of the scientists have to?
Tue 31 Mar 09 (10:36pm)
Alan, I did read Mörner's latest attempts at misinformation, that's why I posted. Unfortunately Mörner's opions are so far removed from reality that he needs to rely and Booker (and indirectly Bolt) to get them published. Booker has form with denial, check his articles on asbestos.
cohenite: "his link to the Colarado sea-level monitoring shows no abnormal or unusual sea-level movement and in fact sea-level has dropped over the last few years as danny's link shows"
It shows an increase in sea level, contrary to Mörner's denail.
"not only are the seas dropping" - you are kidding right? Here's a hint Cohenite, using whatever software you like, download the data, and then find me a period in time when the trend line is down for sea level. Then consider whether that period of time is representative of anything other than your denial.
Dr. "They are in fact calculated artefacts that 'correct' the wobbly satellite data" And the UAH temperature data sat that Bolt hangs on to for dear life is.....?
Dr. - An archeological dig without an archeologist is just a dig.
Uh oh! Hot air escaping Global Warming balloon...?
Tue 31 Mar 09 (09:52am)
A good article by Stott even if he does say the blogs have more influence than the wretched msm; unfortunately this is not quite correct; totally biased and partisan media outlets like our abc and the bbc are still reference points for venal pollies and decision makers; so to with fairfax and its reprehensible earth hour and similar stunts; community leaders are still lockstepping with this false morality and vile hypocrisy; the green mentality has infiltrated well and its expose as the real enemy of mankind has some way to go yet.
Tue 31 Mar 09 (09:55am)
Tue 31 Mar 09 (04:44pm)
You may be correct cohey. The mass appears to be immersed in a propaganda fog, or perhaps Stott is more correct when he says the end is nigh for AGW because the skeptics are more widespread than we suspect.
The Bolter's blog is a skeptics playground with a million hits a month. We are not talking small beer here, this is a big number and probably bigger than Anthony Watts blog.
I can't see the anglo-european countries going it alone if the rest of the world bails out of ETS. Obama, Rudd and Gordon Brown are on a hiding to nothing if they persist with this global warming nonsense.
I heard one 'protester' who was there with his wife and young child tell a reporter who ask why they were there reply, he came to have a good time!
At least he was honest, not like the majority of all those other shallow, self-righteous frauds!

Rebecca Gibney, up for a Logie tomorrow night, offers a novel reason for the success of her show, Packed To The Rafters.
I think it's an outlet for people to get away from the worries of the world, like recession and global warming
No wonder it's so successful.
Tue 31 Mar 09 (10:27am)
Just the usual suspects of failed causes like Anarchy,Communism and Socialism banding together with old style unionists,wildlife lovers,climate change extremists,etc,etc.Hang the bankers signs were the latest fad and the old "eat the rich" signs look to have made a comeback.Amongst them were cowards in balaclava's,who no doubt did not want to be recognized ,in case the demo became a molotov cocktail party.
It's all just a big yawn,as these are the same types that would have marched in favour of the Soviet Union and their supposed peaceful nature before WW2.Funnily enough they were getting cozy with the Nazis at the very same time.
The left are now just a conglomerate of every possible grievance from "save the whales" to "capitalism doesn't work", often under the guise of seemingly worthwhile causes.
Tue 31 Mar 09 (10:33am)
Tue 31 Mar 09 (01:50pm)
You are spot on nige but I have a problem with these clowns being empowered by leading politicians like Obama and Rudd.
Rudd writes 7000 words of left wing dribble and Obama has openly and publicly demonised and blamed corporate leaders for all their wows.
Governements can't have it both ways, Rudd and the rest will be privately praying the business leaders get it together and start to invest again, that way they then claim their policies have worked and they have saved the world.
Perhaps the greenies lost their way in the dark, during earth hour, and went the wrong way.
Tue 31 Mar 09 (10:52am)
The final chapter is very relevant.
"And, finally today, I should just like to point out to poor old Nick Cohen that, on the topic of 'global warming', it is the bloggers who have proved more reliable and critical than the mainstream media and the environmental journalists."
Well at least 95% here fit that description. By ignoring the trolls the figure may be 99%
Congratulations to us.
Tue 31 Mar 09 (10:56am)
Stott is a moron.
"The politicians have left the diversification of our energy supplies woefully late. Coal and gas will be Kings once again, and soon."
Wishful thinking from a blinkered idiot.
His big "challenges" are nothing more than biased dribble.
Tue 31 Mar 09 (11:20am)
Tue 31 Mar 09 (11:47am)
And this from a clown that appeared on the Great Global Warming Swindle crappermentary. Here's an idea Bolta, try referenceing credible sources instead of this dribbler.
Tue 31 Mar 09 (12:41pm)
You've convinced me, Mark. The way you cut through Stott's arguments like a hot knife through butter has left me in no doubt that the man is a moron. What is most disturbing is that someone who is such a blinkered idiot can become a professor and can get papers and books published. And him being a Labour supporter and all.
Tue 31 Mar 09 (01:36pm)
Wow such convincing argument. No one here could top that invective. Perhaps you could be moreso with twice as many references to idiot. The vacuous argument of AGW is apparent.
Tue 31 Mar 09 (01:58pm)
Afternoon Mark. Good day for it.
Looking at your immortal prose right here.
Second line - absolutely right on.
First, third and last lines need work.
If you've got time - expand creatively on those points. A few cites, a couple of links etc Remember you have to try and convince a few people.
Sorry no gold star today.
Tue 31 Mar 09 (05:25pm)
Is this some in-joke I missed - calling it 'dribble' instead of 'drivel'?
Andrew seems to be ignoring the fact that the British people protest very little. Unlike the French who collectively amble for any cause, the British rarely amass and complain (we tend to do it in the privacy of our own home, or down the pub).
It is only when personal freedoms/choices are impinged, or sheer and absolute injustice is at play do the British complain publicly and make a show of it.
The Poll tax which was targetting the young, and the Iraq war were the two most recent. You could also argue the miners strike was an extended protest.
A small decline in the rate of farm subsidy just doesn't cut it with the British like it does the French, and most can't afford the trip to London these days the way the economy has gone.
Checkout this for a protest though, publicly to the Prime Minister by a British MEP, and so typically British in the way it is delivered. Now this is protest. Sorry if its from another journal, it is on You Tuba as a link, but don't know how to provide that without the Spectator redirect.
Anyway, the G20 hasn't started yet, give it a chance there may be even more of a protest than the 35K the other day.
Tue 31 Mar 09 (11:40am)
Tue 31 Mar 09 (01:40pm)
Britain is living the death by a thousand taxes and 20,000 new laws in a decade.
The nation is totally bankrupt.
It has become the new GDR of Europe in almost every way. It attracts the feckless and the rent-seekers. Illegal foreign workers are keeping the country ticking over.
This is what happens under the rule of apathy: Vocal minority groups dominate policy.
Tue 31 Mar 09 (04:23pm)
You might be right berfel.
You certainly sound as if you know the U.K better than most in OZ.
I wouldn't quite right Britain off yet though. They have endured worse (not much) than this before and come through it. Biggest problem they have at the moment is their economy does not make anything. That must change, and quickly.
Tue 31 Mar 09 (05:04pm)
This is what happens under the rule of apathy
This is what happens under the rule of Labour Lite. At least in the days of Harold Wilson one knew where Labour stood and what one got when stupid enough to elect them. After being the sick man of Europe under Labour, the people showed a marked lack of enthusiasm for re-electing them under the likes of Neil Kinnock, so along came Tony Blair to make the party electable, i.e. ditch socialism and replace it with whatever focus groups said people wanted. The result, knee-jerk, disjointed, principleless, short-term government that has turned the UK into a basket case economically, socially and politically.
I fear Kevin Rudd is as vacuous as Tony Blair. One of the hallmarks of Tony Blair's leadership was a sense that government had to respond to everything that happened in society and legislate against anything deemed undesirable. Rudd seems to have the same disease.
Tue 31 Mar 09 (10:32pm)
Blair profitted from the political reforms pushed through by Kinnock who was a good parliamentarian, but never a prime minister.
Blair was also fortunate the far more qualified and wholly trustable John Smith passed away before the election.
He just cruised into office in their wake.
The problem the U.S has is that Obama is their Tony Blair. So desperate to end the incompetence, waste and greed of the Bush years that they see new hope and a new beginning in Obama. Problem is, that he looks to becoming a reflection of Blair.
I saw these herberts on the news. Get them off welfare so they have to find something useful to do to survive.
Tue 31 Mar 09 (11:50am)
They are obviously evil doers, taking good money away from poor defensive car manufacturers who rather fly jets than drive cars, its not their fault that petrol is poisonous. Its also nice that there are less communists now since the Peterloo massacre.
Tue 31 Mar 09 (05:05pm)
They have spring blizards in the US right now. Thank the Lord Krudd signed Kyoto, eh? I bet that's why the Yanks have blizzards.
As opposed to the cooling of the globe which has occurred over the past decade or so......
Tue 31 Mar 09 (05:50pm)
seriously - G20 protests are hardly the place for your day to day concerned citizen… we are talking fairly radical types up for a bit of argy bargy.

They are just like "Roadside Plus" HOW, HOW, HOW ON EARTH can these PEOPLE keep doing these things!
Now it has caused my account to be NSF!
But my bank was NICE enought to PAY IT FOR ME but still charge me. So ICT gets their money and I get NSFS!
866 321 8235 - 866 898 2437 I am on the phone with my bank as I type and she has just informed me that the ROADSIDE PLUS and the ICHECKTECH has the EXACT SAME PHONE NUMBER so if you have trouble with Roadside Plus keep an eye on your account because they will try to come through as ICHECKTECH and then likely it will be something different NEXT MONTH!
Please send in a complaint to all of these:
Federal Trade Commission!

EDitor's Suggestions on how to get your money back!
Go to your bank within 60 days of the charge, or as soon as you know about the charge, don't delay, and tell them that there has been fraudulent activity within your account. Explain that you wish to file a dispute, and demand that they assist you in accordance with Federal Regulation E.
According to the majority of victims interviewed by Rip-off Report, those who immediately called their banks to dispute the charges did not get very far. Many victims got the following responses from their banks: we could not do anything for you or you waited too long; it has been more than 60 days.
If the bank is says that you have waited too long, explain to them how you called their 800 number as soon as the charges were found, and were told by the bank that nothing could be done. Remind the bank that they failed to assist you properly at the 800 #, and instead, provided you with an inadequate explanation of your right to dispute. Tell the bank that it's their fault time has expired, and since they gave you the wrong info to begin with, they will just have to deal with it, take the loss and reverse the charges.
Tell them the truth; this was unauthorized and your account was NOT to be charged! Keep emphasizing how you never authorized anything! Direct them to the hundreds of victims reports that were filed on Rip-off Report.com. And if you're at the bank, walk them over to their computer and make them go to this site! If you are on the phone with them, tell them you will wait while they access this site! Either way, be persistent!
Let them know nicely, that you were advised to Report them (the Bank) and this situation to the Banking Commission in your state. Since each state has a different name for the agency/controller over banks, find that name before you call or get to the bank so you can throw it in their face. The more knowledgeable you appear to be, the further you will get.
And just continue to demand the Federal Regulation E form! The bank CAN, MUST and WILL reverse the charge! But, you must be persistent; ask to speak to the supervisor or the area manager for all the branches in the state.
Let the bank personnel know you are meeting with the media later in the day, that you would much rather they do the right thing (as most other banks have) by looking at the complaints and immediately reversing the charge(s) to your account; no matter how long ago it was. Be sure to call the Media if necessary so you are telling the truth.
If you have to, be loud (but nice) in front of other customers. If you are just calling by phone, the above tactics should still work. The bank can easily fax or mail to you the Federal Regulation E dispute form.
If the charge was to your credit card (not debit card, check card, or checking account), contact the credit card company as soon as possible to request a dispute form. Consumers usually have a little longer to dispute fraudulent credit card charges (up to 6 months), but it is better to act right away. In this type of situation, credit card disputes are usually successful since fraudulent companies often won't contest the disputed charge. In rare cases, credit card companies will review disputes, but refuse to reverse the charges. If this occurs, complain to a manager and let them know you will be filing a report here.
Remember Don't let them get away with it! Make sure they make the Rip-off Report .. The more Reports filed on a Company or individual, the more likely it is that the authorities, media and attorneys will want to take action.
And good luck Let us know how you do!

Hi all!
Just finished up a 4-column theme for WP 1.5+ called News Time.
It has 3 main columns where the posts go - you can select the order to be:
-) left to right then repeat, or
-) 3 categories, one for each column, or
-) equally posted, first the left col, then middle, then right
The fourth column on the right is for search, advertising, links and so on. There is a README.txt that comes with the release that explains it.
You can see it in action on my test blog and a working copy here, and a relevant post found on my blog with the download link.
Thank you,

Boyd could make his return to the Kilmarnock side in Wednesday's Clydesdale Bank Premier League clash with Hibernian after re-signing for the Ayrshire club on Saturday. The 29-year-old has not played since September, when he made his last appearance for Portland Timbers in the MLS.
Boyd previously had an unhappy spell in Turkey with Eskisehirspor, walking out on the club over their failure to pay his wages.
The former Rangers striker, who scored 12 goals for Middlesbrough and Nottingham Forest in his one season in England, was eager to be closer to his family and jumped at the chance to sign for the club where he scored 67 goals in his formative years.
And speaking at his media unveiling on Monday Boyd, who is the SPL's all-time top scorer with 164 goals, said: "I feel as if, apart from maybe the first four or five months that I had in America, it's been two years probably wasted in terms of football.
"But I am ready to get back at it and play and this is a great opportunity to do that. You learn a lot of things as you grow older. It's part and parcel of football. There have been difficult moments but that's in the past now."
Boyd added: "I felt as if I need to go back to basics and start again. Kilmarnock gave me the opportunity to do that and it's a great opportunity to take a step back and appreciate what you've got and get your head down, work hard and get games.
"But nobody is just going to turn round and give me them. I need to work hard in training to get myself in the team and hopefully between now and the end of the season I can do that and start scoring goals on a regular basis again."
Boyd faces competition from Paul Heffernan, who took his recent tally to six goals in five games when he netted in Saturday's 1-1 draw with Aberdeen, along with fit-again Cillian Sheridan and young forwards William Gros and Rory McKenzie.
"There is competition," he said. "That's a good headache for the manager to have. There are options there but I'm hungry and ready for the challenge. I have faced many a challenge in my career and this is another one. But I'm up for it and ready to get about it and hopefully get back playing football on a regular basis."

Dornik – "Something About You"
Future/Michael Jackson/r n'b/soul/step??? Think that covers it. soundcloud.com/dornik/somethi… everyone check @dornikspeaks NOW!
— Disclosure (@disclosure) June 13, 2013
mp3 premiere: Blue Hawaii – "In Two" + "In Two II"
Here's the new two-part single from Montreal's Blue Hawaii, taken from the duo's dark and beautiful forthcoming full-length Untogether, due early next year (their like-minded Montreal homies Grimes + TOPS are already very fond of the record). The first track to be unveiled from the new album, the otherworldly "In Two" is a stark, coldly enchanting, bass-heavy pop gem that seamlessly sets up its throbbing counterpart; play them back-to-back on repeat. Untogether is out January 22, 2013, on Arbutus.
If you're in Brooklyn for CMJ, catch Blue Hawaii at one of their 5 shows this week , starting tomorrow afternoon at the PORTALS showcase. Check all of those dates after the jump...
mp3: new Purity Ring – "Obedear"
You've already heard roughly on loop over at their website, and now Purity Ring has unleashed the first full track from their highly anticipated debut full-length Shrines, out this summer on 4AD. "Obedear" is the kind of thick, addictive future-pop gem that Purity Ring has displayed an uncanny knack for producing over the last year or so, as the duo remains a pretty close/natural distillation of just about everything we're into at the moment:
Purity Ring's debut LP Shrines is out 7/24 on 4AD / Last Gang Records. Check the tracklist after the jump...
mp3: new Purity Ring – "Belispeak"
After wearing out one of the best 7" singles of 2011 so far, we've been waiting a minute for this one, and it doesn't disappoint. These guys are officially 3-for-3. Look for "Belispeak" on Purity Ring's new split 7" with Braids, due in October on Fat Possum:

Deal-licious: Chefs Turn Cheap Ingredients Into Gourmet
The challenge, laid down by Columbus Alive, was to take $25 worth of groceries and come up with a meal for four. These groceries included such frugal classics such as ramen noodles, Kraft mac 'n' cheese, and frozen pizza. There were some more respectable ingredients, too, like apples, cabbage, squash, and a rotisserie chicken. Not a bad haul for $25.
The writer turned all this over to two local Columbus chefs, Alana Shock and John Dornback. (Full disclosure: I have eaten in both their restaurants and found their food very good.)
They both deconstructed and reconstructed these ingredients in really amazing ways! Dornback's plates looked Food Network ready, with lovely plating and garnishes.
Alana's were slightly less fancified, but she also produced a staggering array of dishes: eleven! She picked apart the vegetables in the bag of frozen veggies, and deconstructed the Kraft cheese packet and mixed it with bacon fat to make a soup she called, hilariously, The Krafty Beast.
I also loved her acorn squash stuffed with cornbread and cheddar, and her version of simplified cassoulet. I thought her dishes were pretty outstanding. (Really full disclosure here: Alana cooked my rehearsal dinner so I really am a little biased.)
It is always fun to see professional chefs, especially ones as committed to local and seasonal ingredients as these two are, doing such witty and inventive things with ingredients like these. Take a look at the full piece!

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Naslund Feeling The Heat
by Paul on 12/19/06 at 09:41 AM ET
Comments (0)
from Grant Kerr of the Globe and Mail,
Vancouver talk radio sports shows are punctuated with callers wondering what's wrong with Naslund, often saying he should be traded (Naslund has a no-trade clause in his contract).
For the Canucks to return to the Western Conference playoffs in the spring, they will need their top-paid players to put up numbers that reflect their positions on the payroll. Naslund understands and takes his responsibilities seriously.
"I would like to score more goals, there's no doubt about it," Naslund said before the team departed for a four-game trip beginning Tuesday night against the Minnesota Wild. "I try to do the right things, and hopefully things will come along and I will get my chances — and I'll get my goals.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - Indiana receiver Isaac Griffith has shed some tears, shared some laughs and repeatedly thanked his friends for saving his life.
Mostly, it was a somber, reflective time for everyone involved.
Kim Griffith, the freshman's mother, wiped her eyes several times. Shannon Griffith, the football coach at Division III Manchester University, stopped a couple of times to remain composed. And with two of his rescuers sitting to his side, Isaac Griffith wept briefly as he spoke publicly for the first time since that life-changing experience.

Tempe Chili's closes to make way for USA Basketball
TEMPE, Ariz. — A Valley restaurant that has been open for 25 years is closing Wednesday to make way for USA Basketball.
A Chili's Grill & Bar spokesperson said the location on Mill Avenue and University Drive will be closing to accommodate a new development in the area.
USA Basketball has made a deal with Arizona State University to build a new $350 million facility at the site where the Chili's and an old shopping center now sit. It will include a 4,500-seat arena, a hotel, apartments and office and retail space.
Another restaurant, WM Sacks Art of Sandwicherie, is still open at the shopping center. An employee there did not know if or when the location will close, and the owner was not available for comment. Sacks has three other locations in the valley.
Meanwhile, the city of Tempe would not agree to an interview. The city sent KTAR a written statement saying that it's excited for the future development of the area.

My vehicle was in perfect running order upon arrival and has been carefully driven and meticulously maintained. It was running smoothly and consistently getting 35 miles to the gallon when I arrived for this routine maintenance service.
The service took them an entire day to complete (while I waited on-site). Immediately as I was leaving Express Tire, the extremely strong smell of coolant was permeating the vehicle and I discovered antifreeze leaking heavily from beneath the center of the engine. I immediately stopped and checked the level of coolant in the reservoir and found that it was adequate for me to safely return
to the Express Tire repair shop, located just a few miles away.
I explained the leak and the mechanic checked the vehicle. After consulting with a coworker, he concluded that it was coming from a supposedly corroded thermostat housing and he obtained a price estimate to replace the supposedly corroded plastic housing. Reluctantly, I verbally consented to the repair, fearing that driving to my preferred mechanic might cause too much
coolant to be lost, risking severe engine damage.
Seven hours later, the repair was completed, but the vehicle had become entirely inoperable.
During this time, I witnessed one employee gunning my engine while another mechanic repeatedly and vigorously pounded his fist on the plastic air cleaner housing components. As the other employee was racing the motor (while the transmission was in neutral), the entire engine was raising up by several inches and extremely foul and unusual black exhaust emissions were being produced while the engine was misfiring and struggling. I had never experienced the strong sulfur-like exhaust that my car was suddenly emitting and immediately became very concerned. The driver continued further depressing the accelerator, worsening the exhaust and causing the engine to choke and gag even more as the engine raced.
I expressed concern about the unfamiliar exhaust and sudden poor-idling conditions. He said it could be the catalytic converter that needs to be replaced. Upon my request, another mechanic took the car for a test drive and returned stating that there was a problem with the clutch. I had no idea what could have happened because the clutch was operating smoothly when I arrived there several hours earlier. He stated that its not running properly and that perhaps the catalytic converter is blown. The strong odors of coolant, combined with raw fuel, rotten eggs, and burning rubber were clearly noticeable in the vehicle.
As I tried to drive the vehicle away, it would not run, nor shift properly. When I attempted to put the car in gear and release the clutch, the car shook violently and bucked uncontrollably. The engine was idling improperly (misfiring). Being unable to shift into gear, it was clearly undriveable and had to be towed to a reputable mechanic for repairs where it was determined that the spark plugs had been fouled with antifreeze and that cylinders were filled with coolant, which was the reason that the vehicle had become inoperable. They also determined that the clutch needed to be replaced because it had been permeated with coolant which was absorbed into the components and caused the clutch to glaze over and not function properly.
Additionally, two of the motor mounts were cracked, a condition that might have been worsened by
having a mechanic violently pounding his fist on the rapidly idling engine while it was raising up during the acceleration, or due to the extremely rough idle which jostled the engine tremendously.
The catalytic converter probably become clogged leading to failure due to the fouled spark plugs causing unburned fuel to overheat the converter and melt down, resulting in the sulfur/rotten eggs smell that was emitted when the mechanics gunned the engine for a prolonged period of time. When antifreeze enters the exhaust system, the air passages can become blocked with heavy carbon soot deposits that coat the catalyst.
Furthermore, for coolant to enter the cylinders, the head gasket which acts to prevent the coolant from infiltrating other engine components, might have ruptured or blown.

#1 UPDATE EX-employee responds
Not a surprise
AUTHOR: The wrench - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Saturday, August 18, 2012POSTED: Saturday, August 18, 2012
First of all, Express Tire's work environment is not conducive to building one's skills as a technician. Productivity is considerably more important to them than quality and expertise. They have a get-it-in-get-it-out-as-quickly-as-possible attitude towards their business. As a result, the skill level of their technicians is mediocre at best. I found myself, on several occasions, having to repair mistakes made by other technicians, which cut into my productivity and my paycheck. Technicians are paid there based on productivity, and their most skilled technicians often find themselves getting the short end of the stick because they're "too expensive". Express Tire will never admit to this, though.
Second of all, Express Tire's equipment is poorly maintained and substandard at best. The lack of maintenance, and state of disrepair of the equipment is a result of two factors: 1. Expenses for the repair of equipment comes from the Store Manager's bonus pay, therefore, the Store Manager is usually unwilling to put money into equipment maintenance unless it is completely unusable. 2. A lot of equipment maintenance and repair could be done by the technicians, but, due to their pay structure, unwillingness to spend the time, and lack of know how, the equipment is severely neglected. I have, on several occasions, repaired their equipment (often at my own expense), because I needed to use it to do my job. I was never reimbursed for the parts, nor was I paid for my time.
Third is the lack of leadership at the corporate level, all the way up to the Company President, John Marchioni. His idea of leadership is "Sell! Sell! Sell!", and "Keep a positive mental attitude." No tools for self improvement , very little training, and no incentive to acquire and improve skills. Also, Express Tire has a team of attorneys, not just for the purpose of representing their interests, but for the purpose of figuring out how to make money by screwing people without bending the laws to the point of breakage.
There's a whole lot more I could say about this company, but what would be the point?
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Bengals running back Bernard Scott will miss the rest of the season with an injured left knee.
Scott got hurt during a 17-13 loss to the Miami Dolphins on Sunday when the leg bent awkwardly as he was tackled. He later rode a stationary bicycle on the sideline, hoping to go back into the game.
Instead, he was examined for a torn ligament and didn't return. The Bengals wouldn't say what the exam found but did put him on injured reserve Monday, ending his season.
The reserve running back missed the preseason and the first two games with an injured right hand. He played in two games, getting eight carries for 35 yards.
The Bengals filled his spot by activating linebacker Dontay Moch, who was suspended the first four games for violating the NFL's policy on performance-enhancing substances.

These pictures were taken in the hot summer of 2003 - and WAS England hot then. In Cambridge, they even closed a gas station because the tar was melting over the tanks. Emergency conditions.
Note: Most accommodations do not have air condition. They do not really need it.
Note again: I have seen quite a few hot summers in England - but they are not always sizzling hot. 2003 must have been an exception.
The middle ages are alive! Chester is a great example of how England has managed to take the medieval times into the 21st century.
Cathedrals are, of course, a must. Every little place has one. Most unfortunately, they often charge entrance fees nowadays.
- Pros:Adorable people, adorable landscape, adorable culture.
- Cons:$$$$$$$$$$$$ ! Bring money!

ohhh thx
The NN&Greg Guide helps new comers... sort of. They explain everything in such great detail -- that most of it's not even necessary. KISS: Keep it simple, silly!
As for what Juan wrote:

No need to write: "This game was majestic in all it's sipidness and it was exuberate!"
There is obviously more to know about merits and that is that there no one way to write a good comment.
It's a good way
