Yamaha has a long tradition of winning race bikes and they've used that experience and knowledge in their street ready Super Sport lineup. For 2013 Yamaha has six motorcycles in the category.
Combining sporty performance with touring comfort and convenience, the 2013 FJR1300A is Yamaha's sole entry in the super sport touring class. Yamaha has included so many upgrades that the 2013 model is practically a brand new motorcycle. Styling updates include a total redesign of both the upper and lower cowl. The lower cowl sports a new shape and adjustable panel to provide increased wind and weather protection. The panel can be adjusted without the use of tools.
Updates were also made to the electronically adjustable windscreen. Adjustment speed is twice as fast and the windscreen holds its position when the key is turned off. Behind the windscreen the dash and instrument panel are totally new. A three part arrangement has an analog tachometer on the left, digital readouts for speedometer, clock, gear position, fuel gauge and more in the center and indicator and warning lights on the right. The rider can switch between functions that are displayed.
"Two-eyed" headlights and daytime LED running lights include easy to access adjustment knobs so the lights can be adjusted up or down. New LED front turn signals are built into the body of the under cowl. Handlebars and rider seat are both adjustable, there are three positions for the handlebars and two for the seat. The seat, a two-piece model, also has a new suede look and features different foam densities in the front and rear sections to increase comfort on long rides.
Not all of the upgrades on the 2013 FJR1300A are simply for style. Cruise control comes standard, and can be adjusted with a single push of the switch. To increase or decrease speed in larger increments the rider simply holds down on the switch. Applying the brakes, clutch or throttle disengages the cruise control. The resume button re-engages it at the most recent setting.
Unified anti-lock brakes are also standard on the 2013 Yamaha FJR1300A. Pressing the front brake lever also applies pressure to the rear brake. When applying the rear brakes first both act independently. A new D-Mode system gives the rider a choice between engine performance modes, T-Mode is suitable for touring while S-Mode provides more sporty performance. Traction control, another standard feature, can be turned off or on. When on, the system monitors wheel spin and adjusts ignition timing, fuel injection volume and throttle opening to maintain traction.
For even more comfort Yamaha includes heated grips and a central vent beneath the instrument panel. The vent aids in cooling and reduces negative pressure to reduce buffeting. There's an integrated grab handle at the rear of the frame to make lifting the FJR1300A easier to lift onto its centerstand. Inside the glove box there's a 12 volt outlet to power electric accessories.
A fuel-injected, liquid-cooled, DOHC, 16 valve, inline four-cylinder 1,298 cc engine with a compression ratio of 10.8:1 powers the FJR1300A. There's a five-speed transmission and shaft final drive. Suspension on the FJR1300A is adjustable. The 48 mm front fork is fully adjustable and provides 5.3 inches of travel. The single rear shock is adjustable for preload and rebound damping and has 4.9 inches of travel.
The unified, anti-lock brakes use dual 320 mm discs in the front and a single 282 mm disc in the rear. Rider seat height is adjustable to a low 31.7 inches, or for taller riders, 32.5 inches. Wheelbase is 60.8 inches and ground clearance is 5.1 inches. Fuel capacity is 6.6 gallons. Fuel economy figures are not yet available.
Yamaha backs the FJR1300A with their one-year limited factory warranty. Stone Gray is the sole color choice. Base MSRP on the 2013 Yamaha FJR1300A is $15,890. The FJR1300A is due in dealerships in October 2012.
Yamaha calls the YZF-R1 "the most advanced Open Class sportbike on the planet." At first look, that may seem like hyperbole. But the YZF-R1 is coming off of back-to-back Superbike Championships. It's also the the first production bike to employ a crossplane crankshaft that delivers plenty of smooth power and torque.
Yamaha gives YZF-R1 riders a combination of 21 choices to tailor their ride, with the seven positions of the traction control system and three D-Mode positions. Footrests on the bike are also adjustable, with 15 mm of height and 3 mm of front-to-rear adjustment available to give every rider a custom fit.
The YZF-R1 has a fuel-injected, liquid-cooled, DOHC, 16 valve inline four-cylinder engine with a compression rate of 12.7:1. The transmission is a six-speed with chain final drive. Dual 310 mm discs with radial-mounted 6-piston calipers in front and a single 220 mm disc with single-piston caliper in the rear handle braking duties.
Inspired by Yamaha's MotoGP M1, the adjustable 43 mm, inverted front forks confine compression damping duties to the left fork and rebound damping to the right. Both high and low speed compression damping are featured on the single rear shock which has preload adjustment. Both front and rear suspension provide 4.7 inches of travel.
Seat height is 32.9 inches and wheelbase is 55.7 inches. Wet weight is 454 pounds with a 4.8 gallon fuel capacity and reported 33 mpg. That's good for a range of a little over 150 miles between fill ups.
Yamaha's standard one year limited factory warranty applies to the YZF-R1. Three color options are available; Rapid Red and Raven, Matte Gray or Team Yamaha Blue and White. Base MSRP for the 2013 Yamaha YZF-R1 is $14,290. Selection of the Yamaha Blue and White color takes that to $14,490. The YZF-R1 should be in dealerships now.
Light, powerful and full of the latest technology inspired by Yamaha's years of racing, the YZF-R6 is the most advanced production 600 cc class super sportbike Yamaha has ever built. It was the first production bike with Yamaha's YCC-T, Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle system.
Powering the YZF-R6 is a liquid-cooled, fuel-injected, DOHC, 16 valve inline four-cylinder engine with an amazing 13.1:1 compression ratio. It has a six-speed transmission and chain final drive. Up front there are dual 310 mm floating discs with radial-mount four-piston calipers. The rear brake is a single 220 mm disc with single-piston caliper.
With four-way adjustment, the 41 mm inverted front fork has 4.5 inches of travel. The single rear shock, also with four-way adjustment, provides 4.7 inches of travel. Seat height is 33.5 inches with a wheelbase of 54.1 inches. Wet weight is 417 pounds. The YZF-R6 weighs in at 417 pounds ready to ride. It'll hold 4.5 gallons of fuel and gets a reported 40 mpg for a range of 180 miles.
Yamaha gives the YZF-R6 its standard one year limited factory warranty. Color options are Rapid Red and Pearl White, Matte Gray or Team Yamaha Blue and White. Base MSRP for the 2013 Yamaha YZF-R6 is $10,990. The Team Yamaha Blue and White color option takes that $11,190. It should hitting dealers' floors in October 2012.
So much of the FZ1 was inspired by the R1, the fuel injection system, twin spar aluminum frame and adjustable suspension, that Yamaha says, "think of it as an upright R1." The FZ1 oozes street brawler attitude.
Sporting a compact design, the engine is a fuel-injected, liquid-cooled, DOHC, 20 valve inline four-cylinder with a compression ratio of 11.5:1. The FZ1 has a six-speed transmission with chain final drive. Brakes in the front are dual 320 mm floating discs with four-piston calipers. In the back there's a single 245 mm disc with single-piston caliper.
The fully adjustable 43mm front fork provides 5.1 inches of travel and the single rear shock, adjustable for preload and rebound damping, has 5.1 inches of travel. Seat height is 32.1 inches, ground clearance is 5.3 inches and the wheelbase is 57.5 inches. Ready to ride the FZ1 weighs 487 pounds. Fuel capacity is 4.8 gallons and claimed fuel economy is 35 mpg for a between-fill-up range of just under 170 miles.
There's a one year limited factory warranty on the FZ1. Cobalt Blue is the lone color option. Base MSRP for the 2013 Yamaha FZ1 is $10,790. The bikes should start showing up in showrooms in October 2012, except for in California, which should get their's beginning in November.
A muscle bike with naked styling, the FZ8 got a number of upgrades for 2013. A redesigned muffler with a new shape adds to the attitude of the bike. The suspension system was also updated, with adjustable rebound damping now on the rear shock and adjustable rebound and compression damping on the front forks. New material with dual-texturing was added to the seat for enhanced comfort and looks.
The FZ8 has a liquid-cooled, fuel-injected, DOHC, 16 valve 779 cc inline four-cylinder engine with a 12.0:1 compression ratio. The transmission is a six-speed with chain final drive. Front brakes are dual 310 mm hydraulic discs and in the rear there's a single 267 mm disc.
Suspension, via the telescopic front fork and single rear shock, provides 5.1 inches of travel front and rear. Seat height is 32.1 inches, ground clearance is 5.5 inches and wheelbase is a compact 57.5 inches. Wet weight is 467 pounds with a fuel capacity of 4.5 gallons and reported 39 mpg. Range on the FZ8 is right at 175 miles.
Yamaha gives the FZ8 the standard one year limited factory warranty. One two-tone color scheme is available, Matte Gray and Matte Black. Base MSRP for the 2013 Yamaha FZ8 is $8,890. It'll be available beginning in February 2013.
Billed as a starter sportsbike, the FZ6R has loads of features to inspire confidence in new riders, but provides enough power to keep veteran riders happy. With a low and adjustable seat height, that's narrow in the right places, make it easy to get both feet on the ground at a stop. And the handlebars have 20 mm of adjustment to make it easy for riders of most sizes to get a comfortable grip.
There's plenty of power to keep newbies riding this bike for years to come. The liquid-cooled, fuel-injected, DOHC, 16 valve inline four-cylinder engine has an impressive compression ratio of 12.2:1. The transmission is a six-speed with chain final drive.
Braking power is provided by a single 298 mm hydraulic front disc and a single 245 mm hydraulic rear disc. The suspension, telescopic front for and single rear shock, provides 5.1 inches of travel front and rear.
Seat height is 30.9 inches, ground clearance is 5.5 inches and wheelbase is 56.7 inches. Wet weight is a manageable 470 pounds. Fuel capacity is 4.6 gallons and the FZ6R gets a reported 43 mpg for a range of just under 200 miles.
Yamaha gives the FZ6R its one year limited factory warranty. There are two color options, Pearl White and the two-tone Team Yamaha Blue and White. Base MSRP on the 2013 Yamaha FZ6R is $7,790. With the two-tone color option the MSRP goes to $7,890. The FZ6R will be hitting dealerships during October 2012.

As Iâve received several requests to offer these again, Iâm starting another run of my ROTJ ammo belts! This will be a limited run of ten belts.
The pouches are made of Balsa wood blocks covered in dark brown vinyl. These new pouch flaps are stitched with heavy-duty upholstery thread, giving the belt a more realistic look. Iâve also corrected the flap corner cut to be more movie-accurate. The pouch dimensions are approximately 3 ¼â(H) x 1 ½â(W) x 1 ½â(D).
The 2 ½â vinyl belt is approximately 54â long, features âantiquedâ brass grommets and is now lined with stiff interfacing, making the belt solid and more durable than those Iâve made in the past.
To accommodate for sizing, I only sew Velcro to one end of the belt, and provide extra Velcro for the wearer, so that proper fit can be achieved.
NOTE: I am not very knowledgeable about the ESB ammo belt, which is why I donât sell or market them. However, these pouches are not permanently affixed, so the wearer can arrange them on the belt as preferred for the ESB look. I recommend buying brown thumbtacks to use as âsnapsâ on the appropriate pouches.
The price is $75.00 USD per belt. At this time, I only accept PayPal.

War in Iraq and Afghanistan, hurricanes, drought, thousands of refugees entering Italy from North Africa but Silvio Berlusconi, the nation's prime minister, wants to focus on the really important crisis confronting his society –his relations with women! "Now, it's my turn to speak," he told reporters and then went on a rambling tirade about left wing critics who were trying to smear his name and his wife who was duped by unscrupulous politicians into believing he was having affairs with young girls and the trials and tribulations of a man who enjoys looking at young girls which he is certain will meet with approval by the Vatican and the Pope. After all, Pope Benedict can't turn down a young attractive lady who wants to take confession so why can't Berlusconi offer advice and comfort to the young and afflicted of his nation? For some reason, he appears to be more interested in tales of woe by beautiful young women than those told by Roma men. But, please don't get the wrong idea, he does love his wife.
The political world needs more leaders such as Silvio Berlusconi, men who are ready at the drop of a slip to plunge into the lives of beautiful women instead of wasting his time dealing with problems created by earthquakes. After all, if George Bush had only spent time with beautiful young girls he never would have run into problems by making remarks concerning Hurricane Katrina.

Hello everyone
I am not sure if i am on the right board for this post but here goes.
I am currently working full time in a job i hate. I have been thinking about teaching abroad for a few years, but to be honest, i think i lack the confidence to make the step.
I guess my main concern is doing the course and not being able to find work after i complete it.
I know the job market is terrible at the moment. I think ideally i would like to be first based within Europe and i would love to go to Spain as a starter.
Can anyone tell me if they have been succesful in gaining employment within Europe easily?
Manys Thanks

Re: intervention councelor(s) needed...
Douglas, this is easy, really. I want you to go to a cigar store and buy a wooden cigar box, preferably an old used one, not a new one. Now, put it in a sauna for a couple of days. If there's no sauna around (I understand some of the poor people don't have them) just place it in your shower for a day under hot running water.
Now, take that cigar box, clean it, dry it, and bring it back to me fully varnished and shiny all around, with no damages, no loose joints, and to prove it, I want you to buy six very expensive Cuban cigars, put them IN the box, and place it back in the shower with the water running for an hour.
If the cigars are dry and the box is gleaming, you're the kind of guy who should buy a wooden boat.
If the cigars are in any way damaged...wood is not for you. Pay homage to it, wave at it, admire it, but do not even think about owning it. Enjoy some fine brandy with the new cigars you buy to replace the soggy ones, and remember that.
Re: intervention councelor(s) needed...
The outbound is my " last boat" and only one I ever bought new. It was spec'd with NO exterior wood. Builder snuck in a 2"x2" piece of wood under the bow nav light. " to appease the teak gods". It's been left bare. Epiphanies stock dropped 5 points.
Wood is fine as long as it strip plank or cold molded. Plank on frame will find you broke,divorced and unable to find a marina that will give you a slip. Still read Wooden Boat and drool.

I could go on, but perhaps this much has made that intervention successful.
Again, I love wooden boats; the feel, sea kindliness and warmth cannot be beat. But owning a wooden boat today, especially a classic, is for the very rich, and not a sailor's pastime; it's a career.
While I can't point to one right this minute I'm sure there's a soling around which is at least as pretty as the mystery yacht I'm looking at.

avoid hearsay and research the boats you are looking at intensly, Im glad to offer any insight or help if I can
Of course a wooden boat can be expensive. I've been around marinas and boats for many decades now and almost every boat I was in, on or around was plastic. My boats have all been plastic - I'm not down on the stuff. But those plastic boats can and do suffer many of the same issues of a wooden boat. I knew a scarab which had to have the whole stern cut off and another built up - soggy marine plywood. A Grady had to have most of the cockpit sole cut out due to balsa rot. I don't think either of the boats represent the norm and I'm not knocking power boats. I'm a certified drop the hammer and go kind of a guy.
I just have a hard time accepting that a recreational wooden boat in the 8m class is necessarily a lot more expense or trouble than the plastic boat.

Re: intervention councelor(s) needed...
I've noticed that owners of plastic boats often show interest in classic woodies. Hard to tell if it's awe, sympathy or ignorance. Done right, owning a wooden vessel puts you way above the herds of unimaginative conformists .On the other hand, it could leave you in the yard all May and June enjoying the learning curve.
Re: intervention councelor(s) needed...
Hi Douglas , What kind of boat do you want ? I assume a sail boat . But what size ? How much are you willing to spend ? Are you going to be on a trailer or a slip ? I know you talked about Dana , but still I ask . One reason is that I know a guy that built one little fine sailboat (24ft.) and he keeps it on a trailer half the season . I call him Wooden Boat Bill . He helps me with wood projects, he is a craftsman/artist . He might have a wooden boat for you. If you are interested please contact me and I will PM you . Also please note I have not contacted Bill about this first , But I really like your enthusiasm . I'm sure Bill would too .

The way wooden boats are built is hundreds of years old. The type of hull construction needs to be determined before we can advise you on more.
Here's a young lady doing "routine" work.

Re: intervention councelor(s) needed...
Our boat is fiberglass (it had teak decks that we removed) and the small amount of teak (cap rail, hand rails, trim pieces, etc) require at least three times the total amount of maintenance for all the other exterior surfaces. Just sayin.
Re: intervention councelor(s) needed...
I disagree...if you are patient and your love for the boat EXCEEDS common wisdom youll be fine! ajajajajajajaja
slight bad joke but seriously some great deals can be had...just pay attention to the particular issues of said boat you are seeking and that applies to all forms and material boats...
ps. while caulking is a dying art that doesnt mean you cant do it
I did in panama using wool and 5200 instead of other more traditional materials...I also used syringes and boatlife or whatever pleased me at the time...
water in the bilges is a way of life...make sure its saltwater and dont let it get too high and your fine
pay attention to garboard strakes under the mast and the keelsun and keel attachment method...most wooden boats have nice hung rudders that are easily serviceable
mine floated! jajaja
Re: intervention councelor(s) needed...
Seriously, intervention?
OK, here goes. I've sailed on and operated a great many wooden vessels over the last 50+ years and I love them, each and every one.

You can't ignore things like annual haul outs on a wooden boat; there are creatures that eat the wood if the antifouling isn't working (or gets dinged by something you hit, but isn't even big enough you know you hit it), and even if the paint is fine, they can get through the seam compound and then into the wood. There are frames, ribs, ceiling, planking, floor timbers and butt blocks (just to name a few), all subject to rot, which is in many cases invisible, without dismantling the vessel from outside (removing planks). Wooden boats work and hog and they change shape if the rig is too tight or loose, sometimes causing problems that can cost many times the value of the boat, to repair.
Even a newer wooden boat can develop serious problems. Ask the crew on vessels like the Spirit of South Carolina and Virginia, just to name two.
Whatever fastening was used to attach the planking to the ribs can corrode, have electrolysis or just plain rust. You can spring a plank while sailing, opening a huge hole in your boat, but have no notice in advance that it might go. The seams need to be caulked periodically and I'm guessing it's pretty expensive to get it done these days, as it's a dying art (this I know for a fact, but that's a story for another post). If you get caught in heavy weather, a wooden boat, even a well caulked one, can spit out her caulking and begin to leak pretty seriously (another story).
I could go on, but perhaps this much has made that intervention successful.
Again, I love wooden boats; the feel, sea kindliness and warmth cannot be beat. But owning a wooden boat today, especially a classic, is for the very rich, and not a sailor's pastime; it's a career.

Re: Going rate for 05 oem touchscreen
I briefly looked at aftermarket radio/nav but turned away after (1) I found out how much is was going to cost (incl installation), and (2) how much of the factory equip that would no longer function. I was told an $800-$900 unit would cost approx another $800 to install, and in order for the steering wheel audio controls to would work I needed another $80.00 adapter; was told if an aftermarket unit was installed, then no more 6 disk changer and no more rear audio controls.
That being said, I'm pretty certain I could install it myself - IF I could block out the free time to do it; free time is hard for me to come by these days. I really don't use the 6 disk changer that much and have never used the rear controls, but also hated the thought of butchering the stock system and possibly hurt resale? Although, I know the truck isn't worth "all that" in resale...
The more I think about it, I guess one of the primary reasons for a change would be for (1) Ipod hookup and (2) blue tooth for phone. I've tried the aftermarket Blue Ant blue tooth and loved the hands free, but hated another item to keep charged up. And I have yet to find a blue tooth ear piece that sounds decent; everyone sounds like they are in a well.
If I'm missing something or another option, please let me know...
Thanks Again!
Anyway, that's what got me looking at these threads and maybe going with a 2005 or 2006 replacement - thought this route might be cheaper in the long run than aftermarket, and everything else in the truck would work as designed, not hurting resale...

But there is options for Bluetooth with the stock radio the iPod you can use a I simple media gateway(I have one and love it) and the best part is its plug and play(I don't use the rear audio controls much but I do use the cd changer from time to time(mostly when I get a new cd that I haven't put on my iPod yet)

Here is a link to the gateway
And here is the link for the Bluetooth add on
The audio for the iPod is top notch and the Bluetooth works great with my iPhone 5 and I can stream pandora or I heart Internet radio with it also
This setup will work with any radio cd/cass non touch screen nav and touchscreen nav

The Zimbabwe election for parliament and the president took place five weeks ago, but it now appears the final results will get around to being published. Actually, we will not be receiving the final vote of election day, but a subsequent tally that dragged on for weeks in order to assist incumbent President Robert Mugabe alter vote counts and prepare for another election. Reuters reports that senior government sources reveal the final tally indicates a 47% vote for opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai versus 43% for Mugabe. Since Tsvangirai did not secure a 50% vote tally, there will be a runoff.
Actually, Zimbabwe law only provides for a runoff if the vote count is challenged within 48 hours after annoucement of the final totals. Those should have been provided within 48 hours after polling stations closed. Technically speaking, the four week delay in providing final figures is in violation of the law because it is now too late for Mugabe to demand a runoff.
Regardless of the law, President Mugabe will force a new election. His thugs have spent the past four weeks intimidating those who oppose his rule, imprisoning opponents and sending fear into the hearts of anyone silly enough to publicly oppose the president. A runoff will be a farce, unfortunately, the nation of Zimbabwe will be the ones who pay the penalty for failure on the part of African leaders to protect their rights.

Lord Christopher Monckton interview
07/07/2011 , 8:35 AM by Lyndall Bell
Controversial climate sceptic Lord Christopher Monckton is currently in Australia on a lecture tour.
He spoke not once, but twice to Adam Spencer this morning...
Part 1:
You can follow this conversation by subscribing to the comment feed for this post.
I find it bizzare that a supposedly "quality" ABC journalist would hang up on a world-recognised expert just because they have a differing opinion. Adam could have remained neutral and heard him out. Alternatively, if he wanted to present fact, then he should have done his research and argued fairly. Shame on the ABC for allowing this.
Posted by: Xanthia | 04/11/2011 at 04:21 PM
I think Adam has done a great job in exposing 'His lordship' for what he really is and that is a rude delusional man with a high sense of self grandeur. But just been a Lord isnt good enough for this man, he seems to be on quest for recognition in areas he holds no expertise in. While maybe his pompous upbringing has armed him with the neccessary skills to debate, it does not necessarily translate into a credible opponent. By the way Fred Argent, your concerns regarding the British response to this interview were properly addressed....they publically divorced your hero! I seriously cant beleive this man told someone to "shut-up" on radio. Who does he think he is, some lord of the Manor back in the Dark ages addressing one of peasants out on the field!
Posted by: Janecitizen | 05/10/2011 at 04:44 PM
I would like to know if the claims Mr.Monckton makes about it being 6 times cheaper to do nothing to fight climate change takes into account the number of Australian families and family homes that will be affected by natural disasters caused by the warming of the atmosphere. Or perhaps, for example, the millions of Bagladeshi who will be either displaced from their homes or much worse killed by starvation from the loss of large sections of their homeland and fresh drinking water to rising sea levels.
Life is not a number on a balance sheet. I ask myself if the people of Australia were just as economically vulnerable as many of the millions of people around the world living in life threatening poverty (and I mean REAL poverty) and were faced with the same life threatening stakes, they would still calculate the costs of future avoidable catastrophes in simply a few dollars and cents.
I feel sorry for Adam. He's trying to wake up Australians to the cosmetic of this man and would be really hard not to get furious while talking to the revered reverend of climate cognitive dissonance.
Posted by: Matt | 28/07/2011 at 09:07 PM
That interview was dreadful and I'm no fan of Christopher Monckton.
Next time Mr Spencer, do your homework rather than expecting your interviewee to simply cave in under your "expert" questions.
For reference, try
Posted by: Mick | 25/07/2011 at 12:54 PM
People who think that Lord Monckton is worth listening to should first find out something about his background. He has absolutely no scientific background whatsoever. He is a journalist, politician and small time entrepreneur. He is from the right of the Conservative party in the UK. If you think this is rubbish, just go to Wikipedia for a start and go on from there. The thing that I find absolutely amazing is that the Media and ABC don't bother to research things like this and publish the facts before they give these sort of people air time. It's an interesting reflection on the people who are currently funding Monckton's trip here, either they are too lazy to look into his background or they are completely aware of it, but think that because he has a second class hereditary title and a toffee nose accent people are going to be terribly impressed and fall over themselves to believe his guff. I'm not saying that Monckton isn't a clever man, he's just totally unqualified to pontificate on Climate Science and Global Warming. My dentist is a very clever man maybe we should get him to advise us about Climate Change!!!!!!!
Posted by: Richard | 21/07/2011 at 01:55 PM
You people senying global warming should actually look up its relation to climate change. The desalination of the worlds oceans disrupts the currents that carry warm water to cooler areas, thus reducing temperature.
Posted by: Jaggon | 20/07/2011 at 09:00 PM
Regardless of what position anyone would like to take on the (politcally correct) global warming aspect of climate change,
It's quite easy to see that the action being undertaken by the government is ironic,self defeating,complex to the point of being futile and of no effective benefit to the environment. Ironic in that most of the large polluters are going to have subsidies eg,the steel industry through efforts of the union movement. Self defeating in that the tax more than likely will send Australia's economy on a downward spiral by eg.manufacturing relocating overseas, coal mine closures as accurately predicted by the mining industry. Complex in so much as the taxation and new government dept created, will have to devote lengthy deliberation and use of legal advice and lots of money. Futile in that even the tuktuks of Bangkok emit just as much emissions as Australia as a whole and they're not likely to change in any great hurry. Seems to me that Moncton is at least correct that Australia shouldn't have either a carbon tax or ETS.
Posted by: mario catania | 20/07/2011 at 05:38 PM
Lame debating tactic Adam, attacking the messenger and not the message. You more than anyone should know science is about scientific 'facts' not scientific consensus.
Posted by: Nowun 2 | 20/07/2011 at 05:03 AM
Whatever one might think of Monckton, he was treated appallingly by Spencer. He is obviously not an idiot, but that does not mean he is not a lunatic. Monckton is skilful, he destroyed Richard Dennis today at the National Press Club. Spencer, was ill-prepared, just as Dennis was a stumbling nervous fool.
Gosh, its depressing to see Australia's bumbling public intellectuals and journalists trip over their lazy incompetence, time and time again.
Posted by: Fengela | 20/07/2011 at 04:09 AM
I'd like to point out to the 'uneducated' in regards to Noble titles in Scotland and England that just because the House of Lords does not recognised Lord Monckton as a member of the house of lords that does not mean that he is not a hereditary member of the Peerage.
Firstly his title is a hereditary scotish title not an English one, he is the 3rd Vicount which means that his father and Grand Father were granted the titles. That make the title Hereditary unless stipulated in his family's charter of title. The title is not a low one either, it's above Margaret Thatchers which was a NON-hereditary title of Baroness. Yet just below that of and Earl or as a comparison Lady Dianna's fathers hereditary title.
The british House of Lords or more to the point the house representatives removed the right of hereditary Nobles to sit in the house of lords some time ago, it doesn't make him any less a hereditary Lord. The only person that can do that is the Queen.
Get over yourselves and actual do some research before making unfounded accusations about things you obviously know nothing about.
Posted by: Sean | 19/07/2011 at 11:20 PM
People that continue to state that Adam was only attacking Lord Monckton on a personal level and avoiding scientific debate seem to be neglecting the fact that he was trying to highlight the fact that the Lord does not have any scientific status to produce these claims in the manner he has gone about doing. When there are so many people in the scientific community straight out supporting the notion that he has misrepresented and skewed data in order to further support his claims, while that in itself is quite un-professional going about presenting this data, while pretending to have a reliable standing to back it up is misleading his followers by making them believe that if he says it then it has to be true. The point I believe Mr. Spencer is trying to make is that this man has no credibility and so there is no need to debate science.
Posted by: Sean | 19/07/2011 at 09:09 PM
Adam, congratulations after having been a firm believer in the need for a carbon tax scheme your ineptitude with this interview has lead me to start doing a little bit of research on what Monckton (whether he is a Lord or not is really irrelevant) has to say. And as they say "Blind Freddy" can see the real truth after listening to your attempt at a hatchet job, we have been lied to by the media and our government. You were totally out classed on so many levels in this interview. Thank you for helping me to see the real truth. Regards AG
Posted by: Ag Silverman | 19/07/2011 at 07:26 PM
A typical interview by the ABC. Would have been much better if Adam's intention was to remain neutral rather than his obvious leaning to the left. What a waste of an interview!
Posted by: George | 19/07/2011 at 03:34 PM
Good work Adam - from the Guardian 'The House of Lords has taken the unprecedented step of publishing a "cease and desist" letter on its website demanding that Lord Christopher Monckton, a prominent climate sceptic and the UK Independence party's head of research, should stop claiming to be a member of the upper house.'
Posted by: shell | 19/07/2011 at 03:26 AM
Thankfully the British Parliament has made it clear with the Cease and Desist letter published on their website today that Monckton is NOT entitled to say he is a member of the House of Lords.
This was correctly pointed out by Adam in his interview and lets hope the pompous Lordship makes an apology
Posted by: d wotherspoon | 19/07/2011 at 01:12 AM
The House of Lords has published a letter confirming that Monckton is not a member of the House of Lords. In the letter addressed to Lord Monckton it says "you are not and have never been a Member of the House of Lords." The Clerk of the Parliaments who wrote the letter states "I am publishing this letter on the parliamentary website so that anybody who wishes to check whether you are a Member of the House of Lords can view this official confirmation that you are not." You can read the letter at http://www.parliament.uk/business/news/2011/july/letter-to-viscount-monckton/.
From what I have heard of Monckton, many of his statements have as much reliability as his claim he is a member of the House of Lords without the right to sit or vote. There is a small grain of truth, but he totally misrepresents the facts and ignores evidence to the contrary.
Posted by: Graeme Stuart | 18/07/2011 at 10:54 PM
This has gone full circle. Good. http://www.parliament.uk/business/news/2011/july/letter-to-viscount-monckton/
Posted by: Scott James | 18/07/2011 at 09:38 PM
Welcome to the ABC, we're going to invite you on and dominate the conversation by character assasinating you. But don't defend yourself to unjustified claims of fraud because we'll just hang up on you for it.
Oh and don't worry about debating the science, cause we'd just "knock heads". Besides we can't expose the dumb public to any real scientific debate for they may change sides. Ignorance is strength afterall, 13 well known economists think taxing carbon is good, so there!. So there indeed!
Posted by: louisa | 18/07/2011 at 08:26 PM
Moncton's "give me a specific example" is perfectly valid. In fact, it is only fair. It's wrong to smear someone with generalities. Adam needed to give a specific charge and allow it to be answered.
Posted by: Tas Walker | 17/07/2011 at 02:49 PM
Can I have my 8 cents back please. Lat time I checked I was not funding government organisation like the ABC to push their left wing propaganda.
On other radio stations you get the right wing agenda but at least you are not funding it directly and personally.
People like Adam Spencer have become so holier than thou they forget whats coming out of their own mouths.
"I'm neither for or against"...please.
Posted by: JAZ | 15/07/2011 at 01:21 PM
There aren't two sides to the argument. There's one side based on science and evidence and the other side is to paraphrase Monty Python not argument but contradiction.
"Old Woman of the North": who cares what coral in the Jurassic looked like? Most of the life in that era (including many varieties of coral) have long since gone extinct. It is certainly not true that the last decade has been cooling. More here: http://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/vis/a000000/a003800/a003817/
Monckton is not a scientist. That doesn't disqualify him from critiquing science, but it does disqualify him from speaking from authority without demonstrating that he knows what he is talking about, and he clearly doesn't or is deeply dishonest.
Posted by: Philip Machanick | 15/07/2011 at 01:03 AM
All I can say, as non-scientist, non-expert on global warming, that I am very depressed about Australia's, and more importantly, the worlds future. Not so much about Global warming, but about the selfish, myopic comments displayed in the comments section against Adam Spencer. While Spencer performance could be rated as 'mildly unprofessional, I for one agree that Monckton was extremely patronistic and rude. I'll agree with Monckton's supporters that he's very well spoken, and very quick on the uptake, that doesn't mean though that he's right. For the sake of the world's environment I hope he is, it's very fortunate he'll be old enough not to see the effects global warming will have if he's wrong.

"Consensus is a political concept and blind faith belongs in the domain of religion"
The second part is correct. The first, sadly not. Scientific consensus is well established through the principles of peer review. Dissent can become established as consensus if persuasive evidence can be produced for it. It's really that simple.
And on the topic of AGW, that consensus is settled, within a given tolerance, and that tolerance is becoming increasingly accurate over time
Posted by: Jason | 08/07/2011 at 02:49 PM
Well done! Adam. I am not for a confrontational style of interviewing but then the "Lord" ruined it that way with his extremely rude and patronizing behavior. I lost count of the number of times he said "shut-up and listen" to Adam during this interview. How could he get away with that behavior! No wonder informed people question his lordship as well as academic credentials - if there is one. Is he the best climate change sceptics could find on the face of this planet? personally to me, he was not even civil enough to convince me to listen to him on-air. Sad a nice blokelike Adam got dragged into this!
Posted by: Sonam | 08/07/2011 at 01:57 PM
I listened to the two parts of the interview expecting to hear a shouting match. Nothing of the sort happened.
Spencer did one thing wrong by hanging up without warning but then he apologised for it. Apart from that he handled the interview well and was prepared with references to rebutt all of Monckton's claims.
If you're going to argue who was rude, it was Monckton who told Spencer to "Shut up", which was unnecessary and quite unlordly behaviour in my opinion. Spencer, apart from the hanging up, is extremely polite throughout.
As a taxpayer I'd like to say that I am completely satisfied that in this instance the personnel at the ABC involved with this interview have done the right thing.
Posted by: Jim Moore | 08/07/2011 at 01:47 PM
The media and especially the ABC have not properly aired the debate between the 2 sides of the argument for years. As a result their journalists and broadcasters lack the years of experience on how to debate with the sceptical viewpoint on AGW and are unaware of where the debate currently lies.
The result? Adam Spencer's interviewing technique is firstly to aggressively "play the man not the ball" (ad hominem), and when that doesn't work he hangs up.
Posted by: rc | 08/07/2011 at 01:34 PM
Spencer challenged Monckton about certain websites that claim he is a Nobel Laureate. Monckton said that 'I don't know what websites put up about me. There is no website that I control that says any such thing'. Monckton explained that after presenting a lecture, an academic in the audience stood up and said that Monckton should 'be regarded as having the Nobel Laureate status'.
If you go to the website that Monckton himself plugs during the interview (www.scienceandpublicpolicy.org), under 'About Us' -> 'Personnel', the following appears:
Chief Policy Adviser: Lord Monckton...
His contribution to the IPCC's Fourth Assessment Report in 2007 - the correction of a table inserted by IPCC bureaucrats that had overstated tenfold the observed contribution of the Greenland and West Antarctic ice sheets to sea-level rise - earned him the status of Nobel Peace Laureate. His Nobel prize pin, made of gold recovered from a physics experiment, was presented to him by the Emeritus Professor of Physics at the University of Rochester, New York, USA.'
To my mind, the website of the organisation of which he is chief policy advisor (surely he would know what is in his own biography on his own website) seems to claim that he has the status of a Nobel Peace Laureate. That is different to what Monckton said in the interview, that he was to be regarded as having that status.
The climate sceptic sceptic in me thinks that someone who claims to be a member of the House of Lords (by virtue of his family, not on his own merit) and has on his web-bio that he has the status of a Nobel Laureate (even though he is not a Nobel Laureate), might be compensating for something.
Posted by: David | 08/07/2011 at 01:29 PM
Incidentally, although I'm by no means a fan of the British aristocracy, Monckton's use of the title "Lord" IS permissible under their convention and has nothing to do with Parliament. Spencer and others, here and now in the Fairfax Press, have only shown substandard journalism by not doing the research before trotting out the party line.
Posted by: Morgan Stephens | 08/07/2011 at 12:55 PM
Oh dear, from the number of postings on this site expressing revulsion at Adam's journalistic style it seems that we have quite a few Monckton fans amongst us.
The criticisms I see in the postings are accusing Adam of numerous errors and fallibiities, but lets not forget he is a breakfast radio host, not a scientist nor I suggest "serious and unbiased journalist".
Adam is there in the morning to entertain and inform as is every other breakfast radio host. You may not agree with his views but he doesn't ask you to. I dare say if Adam did a piece on Monckton pandering to his views we would have howls of protest from another part of the political spectrum. Personally, I found his his interview entertaining.
If those authors who have registered their disgust and anger at Adam want a serious and well qualified examination of Monckton's views, do as another author has suggested, spend a little over an hour of your time watching the far better credentialled Professor Abraham discrediting Monckton's views on http://bit.ly/mMCJhZ. Qualified professional scientists who work in the field are so much better in their analysis.
Unfortunately I suspect that none of the authors who have taken a position against Adam will make the effort to listen a qualified contrary point of view to Monckton's which is rather regrettable
Posted by: peter | 08/07/2011 at 12:28 PM
It would be interesting to know how many of the posters to this blog are actual 702 Breakfast listeners. I think the Liberal Party backroom boys have got the troops out in force.
My two young grandchildren are holidaying with us at the moment and I look at them and think; am I prepared to trust their future with Lord Monckton's views, or do I take a cautious approach and put trust in the scientists who should be more knowledgable.
Lord Monckton: If you stand between the railway lines and you can hear a train around the bend in the distance; do you believe that the train is going to hit you or do you deny the existence of the train? If I were you I would get out of the way because I can hear it coming.
Posted by: Graham F | 08/07/2011 at 12:11 PM
It is interesting to read comments such as those from Neil and Martin and to reflect on the religious nature of this issue and the grip it currently has on our western affluent society. In my experience, most people neither understand or show any interest in the science behind this issue but rather blindly accept the exaggerated claims of pending doom and so called "scientific consensus" propagated through the media. Consensus is a political concept and blind faith belongs in the domain of religion. Neither are to be found in science. Science is never settled and does not operate on the basis of consensus views. Mr Spencer would better serve society by respecting and listening to people with contrary views to his own and debating them on the issues not attacking their character.
Posted by: Paul | 08/07/2011 at 11:31 AM
As this interview shows, if you want a serious debate, don't look to the ABC which is the strongest bastion of groupthink in the country.
Posted by: Morgan Stephens | 08/07/2011 at 11:01 AM
Adam cut another caller off this AM for disagreeing with Get Up!'s campaign against a grocery chain. He needs to get a grip on the word DEMOCRACY.
ABC you're out of touch. Adam Spencer, your emotional tirade to Monckton was a sign that you had no real scientific arguments to refute him and it was you who looked foolish not him. Advice: Cool down and listen to BOTH sides of an argument even though it is against your instinct to do so.
Posted by: Jobert | 08/07/2011 at 10:42 AM
Well done Adam Spencer- a prickly interview which you handled well. I guess Mr Monckton is more used to either confrontational but ill informed hosts, or a preaching platform. Great questions- a pity you didn't get through all of them.
Posted by: Ben | 08/07/2011 at 09:32 AM
Adam Spencer is, like so many others in the media a one time comedian/talk show/entertainer personality albeit with a science and technology dimension. But, how do we get these people as media presenters and allow them further rein in the personality stakes? Guests with credential should wherever possible be interviewed by an equal from the peer group. This takes time and incurs some delay perhaps, and there is the element of delayed gratification at being able to beat up the interviewee. This is certainly a popular tactic in commercial media and has been driven to levels of consummate rudeness by presenters in all states.Listening to Australian radio is a deeply ordinary experience and should be avoided.
Posted by: Bruno | 08/07/2011 at 09:20 AM
I have been a broadcast interviewer for nearly 40 years and I strongly believe that anyone who takes up an opportunity to shape public opinion via a media interview must have their position challenged. Bias appears in the degree to which one interviewee's position is challenged over another - the language that is used, the tone of the questions, levels of aggression and so on. The bias of many interviewers, including you, is driven by the need to engage the largest possible audience by reflecting, reinforcing or pandering to that audience's perceived world view, its values and its prejudices. With a basic understanding of an audience it is easy to predict a broadcaster's approach to an interview on just about any given topic. Your claim that you do not have a position on climate change or anything else is ridiculous.
Posted by: Trevor Watson | 08/07/2011 at 09:09 AM
Adam Spencer conducted the interview with courtesy and poise. Sure, it was predictable that some of his questioning would have engendered discomfort for his Lordship. But public broadcasting isn't about taking a dive in deference to status or a fear of offending. Monckton has put himself out there and become a cause celebre in some quarters. It was entirely appropriate for Adam to subject some of his public claims to close scrutiny. If his Lordship is disinclined to submit to tough questioning, he should leave the stage and take up crocquet or polo.
Posted by: Steve Borrow | 08/07/2011 at 08:43 AM
It is entirely appropriate for an interviewer to "attack" the position of the interviewee, and to suggest otherwise is nonsense.
Monkton is a snake oil salesman of the highest order, and stands very isolated in the scientific community.
Posted by: Termite | 08/07/2011 at 08:42 AM
judging by the amount of conversation generated I'd say that was a successful and entertaining interview
Posted by: alex | 08/07/2011 at 08:36 AM
I have the greatest respect for Adam and remain a loyal fan. The "Lord" was always an unusual choice of guest for Adam and I'm guessing niether party thought this was their finest hour.
That said, between Part 1 & Part 2 I chanced upon this show-pony being interviewed by Adam's largest "competitor" where the verbal drivel was being devoured unquestioned with glee.
Posted by: Mark | 08/07/2011 at 08:34 AM
Spencer is an ill mannered, ill educated disgrace. He makes me ashamed to be an Australian. This was not an interveiw, it was a left wing tirade, all too common at "our" ABC.
Posted by: V.Kennedy | 08/07/2011 at 08:11 AM
This interview was a disgrace by a disgraceful leftard ABC scaremongering warmist Spencer.
My taxes wasted on this rubbish. Shame on you Spencer for your unfettered bias.
Posted by: Oguzhan Tandogac | 08/07/2011 at 08:08 AM
I listened to the interview with Lord Monckton yesterday and again today. Climate change is an issue that is very likely to affect the whole of humanity and actually drown some nations. The vast majority of the evidence shows that it will leave our children and grandchildren with horrendous problems and we have just a few years to try and stop this likely catastrophe. Someone traveling world-wide and presenting as an expert on the problem must expect to have their credentials checked and their opinion challenged publicly. Adam Spencer asked appropriately about Lord Monckton's credentials and got a lame, rude and arrogant response. He then challenged Monckton's cherry picking of scientific information and got what I felt was a bullying response for doing so.
What Monckton is doing in his advocacy for doing nothing is actually just heartless propaganda promoting a cruel disregard for those nations that will soon be engulfed in tragedy because of global warming and also against the rest of us who are making efforts to protect the well-being of our children and grandchildren. He's loyally serving some of the richest and most selfish people on earth and Adam called him on his activities. Adam's interview was professional and he did what any good journalist dealing with a serious issue should do; he asked hard questions. Lord Monckton couldn't answer them.

In the '90s, Adam Spencer once interviewed an Austrian musician on Triple J. In the interview, Spencer referred to "the Austrian language" in the context of the musician's songs. The shocked muso informed the exposed Spencer that Austrians actually speak "German"! Uber-embarrassing.
And Spencer has the hide to try dissing Chris Monckton on "academic...university position" rah rah. Would Spencer try the same approach on that old IPCC boss and economics PhD-cum-railway engineer Rajendra Pachauri? Y'know, the "melting Himalayas" guy who let us know that the Climategate expose was "all lies"?

I listened to these segments today after being told about them by a friend. Monkton needs to be challenged - on his credentials, his claims and his funding. Too many interviews simply give him a platform. We need to know where he's coming from to help judge what he says. Adam Spencer tried to present us with this context for Monkton's views and I strongly disagree with some commenters here - this interview was entirely appropriate (although too short). It was Monkton who was the loser - not because of Spencer's questions, but because challenges to his claims clearly made him rude and disrespectful to us, the listeners, who deserve the truth (evidence, etc) and who rely on our journalists to pursue it. Few do.

Adam Spencer, that was a disgrace. If you were a commercial station's shock jock, sure, it would be expected. But is it too much for you to behave like an adult on the taxpayer's dime? Obviously Monckton is what he is, right or wrong, and you must have known his style and opinions or you wouldn't have been taking the opportunity to attack him unceasingly - I mean 'interview' him. You behaved like an adolescent throwing a tantrum. Your final apology was obviously insincere - just as insincere as all the times you called Monckton 'sir' early in the piece, pretending to be a very polite person. Was there really any need for you to be larding all your early talk with the word 'sir'? All those obsequious regrets you expressed early in the interview must have been bubbling inside you and helped you build up your silly head of rage. You were the rude obnoxious boor, not Monckton. ABC, what has happened to you? Why is only one opinion acceptable to our national taxpayer-funded broadcaster? Why does this man feel entitled to hang up on our invited guests?

I wish you warmists would keep up with the literature. We have had ten years of increasing CO2 with no warming. James Hansen predicted floods of biblical proportions. When a scientific theory produces no confirmation in fact, it should be discarded. These "scientists" have been playing around with computer simulations since forever. Now it is time to look at the real world.
Posted by: JImB | 08/07/2011 at 03:04 AM
In my experience of years of listening to various interviews on the ABC radio, I am aware that it is completely normal for the interviewer to both introduce the interviewee and establish their credentials in order to give the listeners a context for any opinions given or claims made.
In most cases this is a simple task - but it is no secret that Lord Monckton's credentials have been called into question by many representatives of the international media. Almost all people interviewed are quite happy to confirm their credentials in order to give appropriate weight to the interview, however in this case, Lord? Monckton became obnoxious and defensive from the off. His tone was clipped and peremptory and he was frankly flat-out rude to the interviewer, who, in my humble opinion showed remarkable restraint.
It seems to me that if he had nothing to hide, Lord? Monckton would have been quite happy to put the record straight quickly and then simply proceed with the interview.
It is the nature of interviews like this one to compare and contrast various views, since public opinion (inexplicably) seems to vary on the issues to be discussed. This kind of debate gives the interviewee the opportunity to address any contradictory points made by others and in doing so to clarify their own position.
The Abraham V Monckton issue for those who care to hear.
Posted by: Steve | 08/07/2011 at 01:20 AM
The biggest problem for me with this interview, was that the host would raise a large number of points in a single question, machine gun style, and then continually interrupt his guest's attempts to answer.
There was also an ad hominem attempt to discredit the guest I felt at the start of the interview. Moreover, the shortage of available air time suffocated point by point exploration of most of the issues raised by the interviewer making it impossible for his guest to defend or rebut.
These issues deserved a far more in-depth response, and I think should have been tailored to fit the airplay. Even with the return interview, it left me bewildered and, frankly, none the wiser.

One needs to take Monckton's bombast with a pinch of salt. Amongst his other claims to fame, Monckton is the Deputy Leader of the United Kingdom Independence Party. And, according to the UK Independence Party's adulatory web page about Monckton at http://www.ukip.org/content/latest-news/1675-christopher-a-man-of-many-talents:
"Lord Monckton has also found a cure for the chronic infection Grave's Disease - which affects the thyroid gland - and invented the hugely popular Sudoku X puzzle."
"2008-present: RESURREXI Pharmaceutical: Director responsible for invention and development of a broad-spectrum cure for infectious diseases. Patents have now been filed. Patients have been cured of various infectious diseases, including Graves' Disease, multiple sclerosis, influenza, and herpes simplex VI. Our first HIV patient had his viral titre reduced by 38% in five days, with no side-effects. Tests continue."
RESURREXI LTD is listed at Companies House as being at 30 Bonnethill Road, Pitlochry, Perthshire, Scotland, PH16 5BS, Company No. SC361156.
Resurrexi, meaning "I have risen again", appears in the fourth sentence of the trope sung as Introit of the Mass on Easter Sunday. (Monckton is a devout Roman Catholic):
Quem quaeritis in sepulchro, o christicolae
Jesum Nazarenum, o coelicolae
Non est hic. Surrexit, sicut praedixerat.
Ite nuntiate quia surrexit de sepulchro.
Resurrexi, postquam factus homo, tua jussa paterna peregi.
The claims made here by Monckton's political party for Monckton's amazing scientific breakthrough are so overreaching, so implausible, so ludicrous indeed, that they must undermine any credibility that Monckton has as a bona fide scientist.

|SVT Performance (2002-2004) The place to chat about any 2.0L SVT DOHC Zetec engine performance, tuning and exhaust related upgrades.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
|I have had experience with with a 92 16v, 89 8v, 00 2.0, 85 8v, 03 turbo diesel, 03 1.8t, 06 gti 2.0 turbo,96 vr6 and many friends cars as well. I have had more problems with only the base models than with the 16v, vr6, and1.8t, the new gti on the other hand is a carbon deposit freak. The 1.8t is a great engine, but Bosch sensors suck "or at least the one on vw's"
are you smoking crack, from someone that's been in the VW scene for years, the base model engines are like tanks, mind you they are very slow, but its nearly impossible to kill a VW 8 valve, which are the engines thats been a base engine in dubs for years, before the MKV's came out.
Now the 1.8T's have a huge amount of problems, from oil sludge to electrical gremlin's, I know of many people that did the APR stage III to their 1.8T's, mind you they are super quik, they also go into limp mode alot (due to o2 sensors, EGR values etc.) Now the VR's are super realible, they have coilpack problems, and the timing chain rattles in most with higher miles and are a PITA to change, tighten. But they are very strong engines, problem is they cost much more to mod then a 1.8T and your power gains aren't as strong. The best VR to find is the 24V but the 12V are nice too, my buddy has a turbo'd 12V VR6 and its awesome.
When comparing a VW to the SVT, like said before they are 2 different beasts, being VW's are more refined with much better interiors, but lack in handling "stock" (they handle nice for being stock, but nowhere close to the SVT). When comparing engines its hard when aside from the base 2.0, its a 6 cylinder and a turbo'd 1.8 not really comparable to a N/A 2.0 16V, now the 16V volkswagen engines of yester-year are a perfect camparison, problem is VW stopped with those engines after the MKII's, atleast here stateside.
My wife has a new rabbit with the 5 cylinder 2.5, mind you I don't like it (I owned 2 other 5 cylinder engines: 1 being the I-5 in the Chevy Colorado's and the other being in a VW Quantum <audi engine>) I feel the engine feels like a truck motor, It has lots of torque but not as much horsepower as the SVT, power deliverely doesn't feel right (mind you her's is an auto, well tiptronic) I love how her car looks and the interior, but driving it with the 2.5 kinda sucks, I imagine the 2.0T that comes in the new GTi's would be great! Well I have buddies that have new GTI's and I've never heard a complaint about them. Coming from the other 5 cylinder engined car's I've owned, its hare to believe they will have any major problems and will be builtproof like the earlier base model engines, but its early yet and hard to tell.
All and all its what your looking for, I switched from the dub to the SVT cause the prices of the SVT are much cheaper then that of VW's, most likely due to the foreign verses domestic deal and its nearly equal on the sporty side, also parts are cheaper, but I'm an avid fan of natural aspirated 16V 4 banger engines...
and questions let me know, or check out the vortex for dub info...
if you are set on buying either this GTI or SVT, then out of these two, I'd suggest the GTI based soley on the salvaged water and accident damage; some other cars to consider are the Mini cooper S and Civic Si from the same erra (02-05) all of the cars will give you about the same fun factor, for about the same buck. I personally don't like VW's; except for my friends 1985 turbo diesel, but thats no performance car...
My SVT averages 34mpg in the summer and 30mpg in the winter if I drive with cc at 70mph, which I tend to since I commute 100mi a day, my only mod is a K&N panel filter, so essentially its stock, and i have one of the "heavier" SVT's out there since my car has every option.
|The biggest problem with vw is they have horrible base model engines. If you want problems buy the base model 2.0 sohc or 2.5. I guarantee you will have problems, the reliability of the 1.8t is great, but with any engine your likely to have problems if you beat on it.
|reliability is great if you have a stack of airflow sensors and a oxygen sensors. actually buy after market sensors online don't buy vw sensors, they cost more and go out right after the warranty is over.
|buy the vw, and chip it. Its more than enough power with an K&N cone, chip, front mount and exhaust. The interior of v-dubs is so nice, the ride is just hard enough that you can drive it everyday and if its the 1.8t the seats are supportive and soft.
was your GTi modded?? - a chipped GTi will beat a non F-I'd SVTF... I've put down a few lightly modded gti's once I got FI...
I have both a GTI and an SVT. They are both great cars in totally different ways. The SVT is definitely more fun to drive and faster on track, but in a lot of ways the GTI is a better daily driver.
That's a terrible deal for $8000. My SVT is going for $9000 with a clean title and a warranty...
|SVT!! VW's are junk!! ive had a few girlfriends with vw's and they were alllllllways breaking and having MAJOR problems. and let me tell you first hand, SVT's are the shizz i aint never had a problem with mine :)

A 22 year old man entered a Finnish vocational school and began blasting away until he killed eleven students and wounded several others. He was dressed in black and wore a ski-mask as he walked into the school carrying a large bag. After completing the carnage of death, MattiJuhani Saari shot himself in the head. During the shooting he inadvertently initiated a fire that most probably led to one of the deaths. The day before he opened fire on students, Mr. Saari had been summoned to police headquarters after the police came across a video on the Internet in which he is shown firing a pistol. The gun man proved he had a legal right to the weapon and was allowed to go free.
The shooting is the second in two years in which a gun man entered a high school and killed several students. A special session of Parliament is being called to examine the situation and rethink the need for tighter laws on gun possession. Fortunately, Finland does not have any reference in its Constitution about owning or not owning guns.

How does everyone finish the edges of their Sintra armor?
I have all of my upper body pieces cut and shaped. I wanted to finish off the rough edges before I primed it though. Somewhere I read that superglue will 'seal' the edges and give a nice finished look.
Any other methods?

No. 1 Kentucky Rifle Drops Second Match at No. 2 Alaska-Fairbanks
Nov. 24, 2013
Fairbanks, Alaska - Looking to bounce back from its first loss of the year on Saturday, the University of Kentucky rifle team improved its aggregate score by 18 points on Sunday but fell to the second-ranked Nanooks of Alaska-Fairbanks 4695-4689 Sunday afternoon at the E.F. Horton Rifle Range.
"We asked the team to respond after yesterday and I think they did," UK head coach Harry Mullins said. "They definitely raised the level of intensity and I think they performed well. The freshmen did an outstanding job, hung in there and had some really strong performances. You have to tip your hat to Alaska."
Alaska-Fairbanks claimed an early lead in kneeling but the Wildcats hung close throughout prone and standing, trailing 2325-2322 at the conclusion of smallbore.
Senior Emily Holsopple improved seven points on Saturday's smallbore score, leading the squad with a 586 in the first event. Freshmen Heather Kirby and Sonya May held steady for the Wildcats in smallbore, shooting a 580 and 579, respectively.
Senior Aaron Holsopple's 577 pulled the UK score up to 2322. Juniors Cody Manning and Elijah Ellis posted a 570 and 571, respectively.
Trailing by three heading into air rifle, Kentucky hoped to put together a comeback effort in the final event.
With three shooters breaking 590 in air rifle, the Wildcats delivered a 2367 but Alaska-Fairbanks' three shooters above 593 eclipsed Kentucky's air rifle score with a 2370.
Sophomore Connor Davis boasted Kentucky's top air rifle performance, shooting his fourth 595 in seven matches this year.
Kirby continued her strong showing on the trip as she set a new personal best in air rifle with a 593. Ellis also boosted the Wildcats' score with a 591, a season high for Ellis.
As the final two counters, May and Emily Holsopple each shot a 588
"I felt like we came out of the gate really well in air rifle and lost some points at the end," Mullins said. "The work ethic is definitely there but in our game when you push hard, sometimes you push too hard and finding balance is a key to success. I think we're pushing hard right now and I think once we get our balance we'll see some really good numbers like we've seen in the past few years."
The match closes out the fall season for the Wildcats, with UK set to return to action Jan. 11 at Ohio State.
"I think we learned a lot about who we are, what we have to do and from that aspect I think this trip will pay huge dividends for the future," Mullins said. "Even though we didn't peak like we wanted to I think we're definitely going into the break with a lot of things to think about but in the same note we can definitely be proud of what we've done this fall and if we continue to work we can see some good numbers in the spring."

Certain Operators have sponsored/inter-standard roaming agreements with other Mobile Network Operators (MNO's) who use a dual IMSI solution which employs the visited IMSI for roaming. Problem is that for data connections the other MNO end-user's mobile will use the APN's known from the IMSI of the VPLMN while the APN should be used by his HPLMN of the other MNO. Today the mobile phone tries to setup a data connection to GGSN/PGW of the VPLMN instead of GGSN/PGW of the other MNO.
There is no ideal solution available to solve this issue. The idea is to address this in the network via manipulation on a so called GPRS Tunneling Protocol proxy (GTP proxy). There is at present no commercial off the shelf product available.
Broadforward BFX acts as a GTP proxy meaning that for GTPv1 and GTPv2 control-plane traffic the BFX terminates the GTP tunnel and analyses the IMSI. In case the IMSI from the other MNO are recognized by checking a configuration table holding IMSI sub-ranges then BFX opens a new GTP tunnel and send the request to the known Gateway GPRS Support Node/Packet Gateway (GGSN/PGW) of the real Home MNO and potentially also manipulates the APN name inside the request so it can access the known APN on the own Home MNO's GGSN/PGW. The configuration table is easy configurable by the VPLMN engineers.

When Windows Phone 8 launched in November of last year, it soon become clear that certain Xbox Windows Phone 7 games were incompatible with the new OS. Microsoft's immediate solution to the problem was to partially delist all of those games, removing their listings from the Windows Phone website. They did this without informing the developers of those games. After we published an article exposing the issue, the games eventually made it back to the web store with updated compatibility information.
We tell you all this because Microsoft has just made a similar but even more harmful maneuver. This week, no less than eleven Windows Phone 7 games were completely delisted from the Store. They can't be redownloaded by people who purchased them. And several of the game's developers were NOT informed by Microsoft of the issues leading to their removal or the removal itself. Read on for the full scoop!

I did a FAL using a receiver wrench and open end wrench.
I have great patience when homesmithing (unlike the the rest of the time LOL) I find it therapeutic. I take great pride in my work and try to do the best possible build, with what I have available.
That said, I'll get to the point. I buggered up my barrel flats slightly, because the force required surpassed what an open end wrench was designed to handle.
An open end wrench is designed strictly for convenience. It only contacts two of the six sides of a normal fastener.
No matter what the quality of the wrench (and I was using as good as is available) at a certain point the "jaws" are going to flex and spread because they are only supported at one end. That's what happened to me.
With the bolt on the other end, the wrench above acts like a vise, clamping the flats and eliminating the possibility of the jaws opening up. Not to mention that it is much beefier than any open end wrench available.
I was lucky, I was able to clean the flats up to a point where the damage is all but undetectable.
Someone not using the utmost care, may not be so lucky.

text: OK I very rarely ask for help with anything so you have to know that I hate doing this. Secondly I am sorry to walk into your forum just to ask for help. I enjoy watching this forum. I have hunted Alaska and it is the most amazing place on earth. Anyway, I am planning a do it myself sea duck hunt around Homer and obviously can not bring a boat from Tennessee. I hope to stay in the area with two other hunters for maybe a week (until we limit out for the year) and return. What I desperately need is to find someone in Anchorage or between there and Homer where I can rent a skiff (between 18-22ft in length/ hopefully closer to the 20-22ft length) to use for this time. Does anyone know business or private fisherman who ever rents skiffs under these circumstances. I could really use the help and lean completely on your knowlege. Thanks so much!! If I can ever help anyone please let me know.

The Ghost of Christmas Present visits Ebenezer Scrooge in The Muppet Christmas Carol. A large, jovial figure, the Ghost of Christmas Present reveals to Scrooge the joys of Christmas in the present day.
The Ghost possesses the ability to alter his size to fit into any space, and to enter a room by merely touching its exterior walls. Christmas Present is easily the most personable of the three ghosts, laughing heartily, displaying a tendency towards forgetfulness, and repeating his favorite phrase "know me better, man!" The Ghost visibly ages in his final moments before vanishing.
His appearance and jolly personality, complete with his "Ho, ho, ho" laugh, can be comparable to that of Santa Claus. His last moments and the manner of his fading can be comparable to the Master Uru's death in The Dark Crystal.
Alternate versions
- Miss Piggy plays "the Ghost of Christmas Presents" in "Yet Another Christmas Carol", a story in A Very Muppet Christmas.
- Christmas Carole appears to Oscar the Grouch as the Ghost of Christmas Present in A Sesame Street Christmas Carol.
- Imogene Coca plays the Ghost of Christmas Present in A Special Sesame Street Christmas.

There's nothing like it man, I watched it years ago and nothings come close since. The only anime i enjoyed and sort of reminded of me of berserk was Claymore. I find it hard that you will be able to find a substitute for berserk
Edit: Read the berserk manga (even if u dont read manga in general) its better than the anime!!!

No Expectations... No Disappointments
I heard the manga wasn't finished? That would be annoying.
True, however it goes far beyond what the anime left you with. Still a fair amount of reading.
No Expectations... No Disappointments
Where the manga starts to pick up it gets very dark and twisted. Very anti religious as well. The view for Christianity is extremely twisted.
berserk, claymore and vagabond are my favorite manga, none of these 3 are finished though. the latter also has great quality and a great story. it follows a man who acts like a beast thinking only of himself and his own strength killing one after another, who slowly learns from his mistakes and grows into a fine gentle samurai with the help of a badass monk :P(yet the hatred of those who lost their beloved ones to his sword still remains and seek revenge), while his best friend who he grew up with remains a coward and a drunk and only gets himself and those around him into trouble. the way the story is told is beautiful and totally worth a read. its also based on the book Musashi but i believe takes its own turns here and there

when I first read the manga, I was literally gripping my seat from suspense and anxiety through some of the chapters.....such powerful emotions delivered through exquisite drawing style~ friggin epic shit right there.
nothing comes close to this epic story~ too bad the author is taking a hiatus or something (didn't have an update until like....2 months ago - last one b4 that was like in 2012 lol)

Like everyone else says, the closest thing to it in my opinion is Claymore, which is great in its own way. But when it comes to Berserk, it's a beast on its own level. I was not one to read manga but when I started to read the Berserk manga, it only got better and better and now I hate that I can't continue reading it forever! There is still much to read if you've only seen the anime and it will be more than worth it if you already enjoyed the series this far .
I don't recommend you claymore at all, as it doesn't fall under the category of realism where Berserk fell.
Instead of that I commend you watching "Seirei no Moribito"

Well I ask because in the very first episode of the anime it foreshadow to the future him and fought a giant snake man beast created by the egg. Then around the end of the anime, possibly episode 23 or so, demons came out and cause havoc. Somewhere in the middle Zodd came out and was a demon himself.
it's okay guys, i started on the mango. not as enjoyable as watching the animu but it's good.

" On the first day I came , the staff did not know English. She did not know that I booked before. I asked for P.O.S to pay through my credit card, but it was not working. They gave me 2 beds room instead of 4 beds room, which I booked. Taking a shower after this hustle was not easy, the water was cold. On the second day, I went back to the hostel to find that the woman working there changed my room and put my stuff on the floor and asked me to change the bulb. However, the location is perfect.
