I did a different exercise, I tossed the numbers into Gnumeric, removed 
the offset of the first sample and linear slope was estimated very 
coarsely and all I see is a wobble being sine-like. A shift in rate 
would show up in the residues, but I can't see that. One has to have a 
longer set of data to see it...

I can't see it in this body of data.
