The beverage giant will lend its distribution and marketing expertise to help deliver new Core Power from Fair Oaks Farms Brands.
A new high-protein milk shake produced and marketed by farmer-owned Fair Oaks Farms Brands will be distributed by Coca-Cola Co., it was announced this week.
The new protein drink, Core Power, is being touted as providing the "ultimate in workout recovery."
Originally marketed as Athletes HoneyMilk in Colorado and Texas, the new Core Power line of products will be delivered initially in select markets via Coca-Cola Refreshments' distribution system.
Core Power will be available in five flavors and sell for $2.99 to $3.20. It will be offered in 26g and 20g protein versions and comes in 11.5 ounce recyclable plastic bottles. All five drinks are lactose- and gluten-free. According to Fair Oaks Farms Brands, it's made with real milk and honey, not from powdered protein. "Core Power's unique ratio of 20% whey and 80% casein is the same ratio that is naturally found in milk," the company said in a news release.
The product, currently sold in 500 to 700 Texas and Colorado stores, will expand to about 10,000 points of distribution by year-end, according to the Chicago Tribune. The first phase of Coke distribution, starting July 9, will bring Core Power to Chicago, Indianapolis, and certain markets in New Mexico, Nevada, and the Great Lakes region. Distribution will expand further in September, throughout the Great Lakes region, and adding Southern California and Northeastern markets.
Fair Oaks is owned by Select Milk Producers, a Southwestern dairy cooperative, and charged with developing value-added, dairy-based products.
"Our unique cold filtration process, which allows us to increase the amounts of protein and calcium, is a true innovation in the dairy category," said Steve Jones, CEO at Fair Oaks Farms Brands. "Core Power replenishes strength and builds lean muscle after a workout. It's a perfect recovery drink for everyone from the elite athlete to those just trying to keep fit."
"This new brand is part of an exciting category for consumers and retailers that is still in the early stage of its growth potential," said Deryck van Rensburg, president of Coca-Cola North America Venturing and Emerging Brands who views this as another great example of how the Coca-Cola system participates in the development of the next generation of beverage brands.
Core Power is the first of many planned nutritional beverages from the farmers of Fair Oaks Farms Brands, Inc. It was launched in a Texas test market in 2009 as Athletes HoneyMilk and after creating significant consumer interest, Fair Oaks Farms Brands made plans to take the product national.
Fair Oaks Farms Brands company is owned by a cooperative of 87 family-owned dairies in West Texas, New Mexico and the Midwest. The company's flagship farm is in Fair Oaks, Indiana, and is recognized as an innovator in the dairy industry and leader in sustainable agriculture.

Imagine a Twilight where the panting, flirting teens were in on the joke, where the gulf between them was more about communication skills than supernatural schisms.
Where one teen had really bad skin.
That�s Warm Bodies, a funny teen romance set against the aftermath of the Zombie Apocalypse. Jonathan (50/50) Levine has turned Isaac Marion�s teen romance novel into an often amusing tongue-in-cheek romantic comedy � tongue in cheek, and brains in teeth. Chewy, tasty brains.
Nicholas Hoult (Clash of the Titans, X-Men: First Class) is the perfectly droll zombie narrator who staggers about with the usual teen angst.
�Why can�t I connect with people? Oh, right. I�m dead.�
He can�t remember his name, can�t justify his means of survival � eating the brains, etc., of the few remaining humans. (�At least I�m conflicted about it.�)
And he�s lonely. He holes up in an abandoned business jet and listens to old love songs (Missing You) on his battery powered turntable.
And then he spots �her.� And if you�ve seen Teresa Palmer in The Sorcerer�s Apprentice or I Am Number Four, you get it � gorgeous enough to reanimate the dead.
Julie (Palmer) is the daughter of the benevolent dictator (John Malkovich) of the local walled enclave of humans, one of the young people considered wily and nimble enough to be sent out foraging among the walking dead � medical supplies, canned foods, the things that will keep the human race going just a little bit longer.
The zombies get the drop on Julie and her team. Her boyfriend (Dave Franco) is our hero zombie�s latest meal.
Zombie boy rescues, or kidnaps Julie, depending on your point of view. He strains to form a word, to speak. He plays her his vinyl. And since he�s eaten her boyfriend, he�s absorbed their memories together. If he can ever get this speech thing back, if he can ever manage more than a sound, much less a syllable (�Rrrrrrrr�), maybe he�s got a shot.
After all, he�s �R.� And she�s Julie, which is short for something Shakespearean. Maybe they�re fated to be together, no matter that her dad wants to blow his head off on general principle.
Levine shoots the action scenes in brisk strokes, and the romantic ones in warm, extreme close-ups. And there are some funny lines, such as R�s observations about his �race.� �God, we move slow.�
But that�s not accurate. Zombies are, traditionally, lurching wanderers. But not here. When they come for you, you�d better have your track shoes on.
The same can�t be said for the movie, which is deadly slow, as if Levine was worried teenagers might miss the jokes, the allusions and the �message� if he went too fast. He landed Malkovich as his semi-villain, and got nothing funny out of him. At least Rob Corddry (as a zombie �friend�) makes a funny, wordless impression. He and Hoult deliver the simple, affecting message of Marion�s novel, and do it with humor.
Don�t judge a corpse by his cover.

Three things to celebrate about a three-game win streak
Rod Barajas is an offensive monster and a defensive beast: In addition to his montrous first inning dinger off rookie Gio Gonzalez, Barajas had a stellar game behind the plate. Rod the God made a great play to pick a John McDonald throw out of the dirt to get a force out at home with the bases loaded, and he called an excellent game for Marcum. We think...or we suppose...Maybe we're just piling on Zaunie here, but it seems to us as though Jays pitchers look more comfortable pitching to him.
Alex Rios is quietly turning things around: In his last seven games, Rios has scored eight runs and has 11 hits. While only two of those hits have been for extra bases, Rios is putting good wood on the ball and is keeping the line moving. His OPS this season is still sitting at about 100 points below last season's, but it has been ticking slowly upwards since his dreadful May, when he posted a .585 OPS.
Given his performance this season, we're coming around to the idea that instead of thinking of Rios as a a corner outfielder who mashes, maybe he should serve as the Jays' leadoff hitter going forward, somewhat in the vein of a Johnny Damon (in his prime): a leadoff guy who hits for average with a bit of pop and lots of speed. Assuming, of course, that the Jays have a better option next year in the middle of the lineup.

interesting point about rios becoming a damon-like leadoff hitter. i'm intrigued. he can hit for a high average, he's got good pop, a much, much better arm, and can run like the wind. it makes complete sense.
and rod, while he was struggling, i think has proved in the last week or so that he's the number one guy. even tho it came in the first, we needed that 3 run home run last night ilke a crackhead needed a hit.
you think marcum can be a legit #2 behind Doc (if/when AJ leaves?)? or is that mcgowan's spot?
- August 7, 2008 at 10:50 AM
- The Ack said...
Unless they sign a big arm, I think Marcum has to be the "#2", because even if McGowan is back by, say, May 1/09, I don't think we see full strength Dusty until 2010. Which is a real shit break, because he's running out of precious "development time", if you ask me. But I guess nobody did.

A better option like... Manny Ramirez?
- August 7, 2008 at 11:42 AM
- eyebleaf said...
truth is there, ack. hopefully all this injury bullshit will be behind marcum now. dude's already had the tommy john, and now this cuff bidness...
i got faith in marcum being the number 2. kid is sick.
- August 7, 2008 at 11:47 AM

and i meant behind mcgowan, of course.

I'm hoping Manny gets into it with Jeff Kent soon, because all this talk about how he wants to end his career there is straight pissing me off.
Now we hear Teixeira openly stating how it would be a dream come true to play in hometown Baltimore (don't ask me for a link, because I'm pretty sure I read that, but can't give you a source).
But hey! Raul Ibanez is a free agent! 4-$40M! Awesome!
I think the dollars invested in that potential contract would be better served invested in a top-secret state of the art juicing program to turn Vernon, Alex, and Young Adam into 40 HR mashers.
Wait, did I just say that?

Err...Ack? You feeling okay?
We may need to discuss YOUR current doping regimen.
RE: Marcum - Optimistically, he's a number 2. But haven't we gone into each and every season for the past decade, hoping that everything plays out just right? We'd rather have Marcum slot in as a strong three and have the Jays sing A.J. or someone else as a number 2.

^^ you didn't say anything about random drug tests before I started contributing....
Just be happy I banged that beauty out in a comment instead of a post, otherwise you might be seeing "SEN G MITCHELL" on your call display.

Tao, what kind of tune would they sing AJ? I love spelling errors that actually change the meaning!
Re-up AJ and sign Manny, if only for the entertainment factor. Someone needs to be an emmissary, work on it in LA. I nominate myself.
- August 7, 2008 at 12:30 PM
- Tao of Stieb said...
Goddamnit! Fcuking seplling mistasks!
We'd assume that to woo A.J.'s tender redneck heart, J.P. would sing him that Kid Rock song that mashes up Werewolves of London and Sweet Home Alabama. (Both of which are much better songs in their own right than Kid's lame co-optation of their hookiest parts.)
- August 7, 2008 at 12:39 PM
- eyebleaf said...
i hate that fucking kid rock song. every time i'm ready to belt out "sweet home alabama" it never comes...it's all a big tease. sort of like our jays
- August 7, 2008 at 1:09 PM
- Darren Priest said...
Dan Haren just signed for less than AJ's option. Who would you rather have as the Jays number 2? Burnett or Haren? (That is not intended to be retorical, but it is intended to illustrate that 12MM for Burnett seems plenty fair.)
- August 7, 2008 at 2:11 PM
- Tao of Stieb said...
The distinction there might be that the D-Backs were buying out a couple of arbitration years, which would have driven down the price.
On the open market, Haren makes a shit-ton nore...except that he wasn't eligible to go on the open market and A.J. is.

Billy Monroe's '54 Merc Custom
Peel away the decades of show car shellac that has transformed custom cars into sanitized imitations of the sleds that rolled on the streets in the 1950s, and you'll find the kind of customs that got us so twitchy about the whole trend back in the beginning.
There are a few guys left who are still driving that type of traditional custom-the type their dads or granddads drove back when the only car on the street with 19-inch wheels was Granny's bone-stock Model A. Billy Monroe is one of those guys. This suede and flamed '54 Mercury Monterey is his ride.
Billy's dad bought a new black-with-red-interior '54, and although Billy is too young to remember it, old photos of the car left a lasting influence on his taste. About five years ago, he spotted the '54 that would become his at the Goodguys East Coast Nats in Rhinebeck, New York. It was the coolest kustom at the show, he claims, and he spent the whole day hanging around the car, which was owned by Mark Cole at the time.
Mark had discovered the car in stock condition in Los Angeles, brought it to Syracuse, New York, and turned it into a combination custom car/street racer. He chopped the top 4 inches, shaved the sheetmetal, and replaced the stock suspension with ladder bars and a Detroit locker rear. A rebuilt 292 Y-block was later replaced with a built-up 312, which turned out to be a rare Holman Moody race engine, originally built in 1957 by John Holman and Pete DePaulo as a National Stock Car qualifying engine for Daytona.
When Mark got interested in building Thunderbolts, he sold the Merc to Billy. Before he did, he reinstalled the stock suspension and rearend, and eventually a C4 automatic. The Holman Moody Y-block-retuned for the street-went with the car to New Jersey.
In the years he's owned the Merc, Billy has kept it on the streets, and taken it to shows from Brooklyn to Bakersfield. The custom got Gene Winfield's attention at a recent KKOA event, and got ours in Rhinebeck, where Billy and his wife Jodi were cruising with other members of the Beatniks car club. We gave the car a Top Ten award before we even knew the whole story of this true traditional custom.
Billy Monroe
Elmwood Park, New Jersey
'54 Mercury Monterey
Finding a Y-block under the hood was a surprise. Learning that it was originally built in 1957 by John Holman and Pete DePaulo was flabbergasting (the Holman Moody valve covers on the ported heads weren't even a hint). The 312 cylinders were bored out to 335 ci and plugged with 10.25:1 JE pistons. Mark Cole's Thunderbolt-inspired air cleaner runs from a cold air vent system below the front bumper into a single Holley 650 double pumper on a Blue Thunder intake manifold. Behind the pedigreed engine is a '72 C4 with a 10-inch, 2,800-stall converter. At the rear, the stock third member runs 3.54:1 gears.
Virtually no severe modifications were made to the stock 'rails. Mustang shocks and some cut coils in the front add a little attitude to the profile. The rearend followed with the addition of 5-inch lowering blocks and the subtraction of three leaves from the factory springs.
Wheels & Tires
Save the 20s for the tuner crowd. Billy keeps this custom rolling in traditional style on stock 15-inchers with sombrero caps ('54 covers with bullets added by Mark Cole). The wide white tires are Firestones in the front and Denmans in the rear.
Body & Paint
Practically all of the bodywork-including the chop-was performed in a one-car garage by Mark Cole and Bill Mathers. The chop is the most remarkable part of it all, considering the difficulty of cutting the windshield, side vent windows, and C-pillar trim. The rear quarter-window frames had to be reconstructed from five separate pieces just to get the contour right. Other work includes the shaved, nosed, and decked panels. The hood scoop was opened up and sectioned, and a custom rear pan was fabricated. The rear bumper was replaced with one from a '55 Pontiac. The Merc was taken to Gary Grieshaber for the Sikkens black suede and orange flames underneath matte clear.
Things stayed basically stock on the inside, where the split bench seat and door panels were freshened up with some Sunset Red Naugahyde upholstery, courtesy of Kim's Upholstery in Syracuse. All that red is broken up with some white along the lower dash, decorated with 'striping and graphics from Peter Gunn. The Gennie Shifter is visible from outer space.

Last Updated: 11/07/13 8:32am

text: iacas 7,616 Report post #1 Posted August 22, 2010 Here's a brief video on golf pitching technique. Over the years this thread has gotten a LOT of updates, so I encourage you to read through this thread before commenting. However, one thing that hasn't changed is our belief in how this simple technique can save strokes and make pitching easier and even fun. This technique broadens the margin of error by using bounce or "glide" on the club, while allowing you to properly use speed to help control distance, get the ball out of tough lies, and get the ball closer to the hole. It is, by far, the best pitching technique out there, and is exhibited by the best PGA Tour players. There are plenty of testaments to its functionality throughout this thread (and site), so please enjoy, and thank you for watching. 11 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Awards, Achievements, and Accolades

Many people have trouble getting to sleep quickly, spending well over 30 minutes tossing and turning before being able to nod off. In the wake of a recent study linking sleeping pills with an increased risk of mortality and cancer, some people who once relied on medications to sleep are looking to non-pharmaceutical solutions. Haviva Veler, sleep specialist at the Komansky Center for Children's Health at New York-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center, offers tips on how both adults and adolescents can get on the fast track to restful slumber.
What makes people fall asleep?
When it gets dark outside, the brain secretes the hormone melatonin in response to the decrease in ambient light. This causes the feeling of being drowsy or sleepy.
What do you suggest your patients do to get to sleep faster?
First, keep a constant sleep schedule, especially over the weekend. If you sleep until noon, it completely confuses your internal clock.
Next, sleep in a room that is dark, quiet and a little on the cool side. When the body starts preparing for sleep in the early evening, its temperature starts to drop. So avoid hot showers or hot milk, things that will increase body temperature. If the room temperature is higher than 75 degrees, experiments show prolonged sleep onset.
For the same reason, try not to eat big meals right before sleeping…because the process of breaking down sugars causes our body temperature to increase.
Does exercise make falling asleep easier?
Exercise during the day improves sleep. It makes you more tired so sleep will come faster and be more sustained. Just avoid excessive exercise an hour before bedtime.
Instead, during the hour before going to sleep, try to stick to quiet activity in a dim light. Avoid TV, emails, what I call i-stuff: iPads, iPods. Their bright ambient light blocks the release of melatonin. Read in low light or on a Kindle, which has a softer light.
Reading is tricky, though, because if it's very interesting, you can get too absorbed and continue for hours. A boring book or a report, something that won't excite you too much, is better than something absorbing that may keep you up.
How late in the day can people with sleep troubles have caffeinated drinks?
Caffeine is long-acting, keeps you awake at night and makes you wake up multiple times during the night. Its half-life, or the time it spends in your system, is about eight hours. So you should really stay away from it for eight hours before bedtime.
What about trying to fall asleep when you are jet-lagged?
After changing time zones, try to get as much light exposure as possible during the mornings. This increases the awake phase and helps synchronize your internal clock, which makes for better sleep. Melatonin can be useful as both a sedating agent and to adjust your internal clock to the new time zone.

Based on the little-seen 2007 Israeli film "Ha-Hov," "The Debt" is an attempt to fashion a thriller with smarts – a "Marathon Man" for our time. As is often the case with such attempts, the thrills work out better than the smarts.
Directed by John Madden ("Shakespeare in Love"), the film has a two-tiered time structure. Beginning in 1997, the story at first focuses on retired Mossad secret agents Rachel (Helen Mirren) and ex-husband Stephan (Tom Wilkinson), whose daughter has just come out with a book lauding their exploits in a daring operation back in 1965-66 when, along with a third agent, David (Ciarán Hinds), they tracked down in East Berlin the notorious Nazi war criminal Dieter Vogel (Jesper Christensen), the Mengele-like "surgeon of Birkenau."
The operation is dramatized in lengthy flashback. Rachel (portrayed as a young woman by the fine and omnipresent Jessica Chastain), has had no field experience up to this point, but she's steely and brainy and knows her Krav Maga (Israeli martial arts). She's also beautiful, which sets up the requisite triangular sexual tension between herself and the young David (Sam Worthington), a man of grave conscience who sees the mission as a chance to bring Vogel's crimes to the world, and young Stephan (Marton Csokas), who regards the operation in more militaristic terms. All three lost family in the Holocaust.
Vogel, it turns out, has been living quietly as an obstetrician in East Berlin, so Rachel infiltrates his good graces by presenting herself to him as a patient with infertility issues. The scenes between the two of them in his examining room are some of the film's best: This monster, whose ghastly medical experiments with children are revealed to us earlier in photographs, is seemingly kindly and indulgent. But there's a shiv of wariness in his questions to Rachel, who can barely suppress her revulsion. "Who recommended me to you?" he asks, and you know why he's asking.
The Mossad trio has been holed up in a run-down East Berlin apartment, waiting for their moment to strike and smuggle Vogel to Israel to face trial. The extended sequence in which they carry out their mission, along with its inevitable foul-up, has an immediacy lacking in the rest of the film. Madden isn't a whiz at melodrama but he pushes the right buttons here and gets the job done. What lifts the sequence above the usual run is its core of conscience: Vogel isn't simply a bad guy, he is, in the movie's terms, the bad guy. As both an individual and as a symbol, he must pay for his crimes.
But what really happened to Vogel? The film, written by Matthew Vaughn, Jane Goldman, and Peter Straughan, offers up a few fancy twists on its way to an extended sequence back in 1997 when Rachel, confronted with secrets long buried, must relive the horror of her mission and rectify its wrongs. Even though Mirren is powerful in the role, she is put through a series of paces that lack the dramatic conviction of the flashbacks. The staging of her final confrontation is confusing just when it needs to be crystal clear.
It is probably inevitable that the character who emerges with the most comprehensiveness and credibility is Vogel. The worst human beings, alas, are often more inherently dramatic than the best. When Vogel, tied up in that decaying East Berlin apartment, works his mind games on Rachel and David, "The Debt" turns into an infernal chess game – with most of the prime pieces on Vogel's side. Christensen is best known to movie audiences as the bad guy in "Casino Royale" and "Quantum of Solace." It took me a moment to remember that I had also seen, and greatly admired him, in Jan Troell's "Everlasting Moments," where he played a man of almost supernal grace. What a marvelous actor.
"The Debt" asks us whether we should lie in order to prop up a greater good. This is, in a sense, an unanswerable question, and the filmmakers don't seem overly invested in answering it anyway. Although they might have wished for something less conventional, it's the thrills that make this movie. Grade: B (Rated R for some violence and language.)

Alright, that's cool, we'll see
[Verse 1]
Strict top of the crop shit
Crushin' muthafuckas like moths in a mosh pit
Dollar cents since shit, sense I ain't lost it
It's in a fuckin' jar with guitar picks and bar spit
Bar spat, past tense, warriors of radness
Fuck lame, get it through your brain like dad's dick
Go ahead, stab a friend, tell him that I'm back, bitch
Earl leave bastards with milkiest asses
Take a firm standin', nine on the tracklist
Earl half the reason the reviews fantastic
Niggas gettin' comfy on the couch, I ain't havin' it
Kickin' gluteus maximus, killin' niggas on accident
Just watch, I'mma kill 'em all
Just watch, I'mma kill 'em all
Just watch, I'mma kill 'em all
Just watch, off 'em!
[Verse 2]
Off 'em, no off days, no debates, bitch
Box logo, switchblade and cocaine
In my back pocket, take Jade on vacation
The hotel switch from Heartbreak to Bates quick
Rippin' out braids with bare hands amazes
The crowd, go crazy, hands raised, I'm laced with
Swag by the eighth in case you wanna taste it
Faggots wear Prada, Satan wears RMK shit
Hell's angel, crack Christ 'cross the face
With erasers and use Based God as his replacement
Super Saiyan with ruthless slayings
Eat puss, sweet puss got my tooth decayin'
Just watch, I'mma kill 'em all
Just watch, I'mma kill 'em all
Just watch, I'mma kill 'em all
Just watch, off 'em!
[Verse 3]
Now pan the cameras back to me and Pamela's
Amateur threesome with Hannah Montana's manager
And Miley feedin' me sandwiches for my stamina
And Santa's in the back laughin' cause my back's crampin' up
Mrs. Claus trippin' balls, think she had enough
And by enough I mean we dope as fuck, she had a gram of us
Flyer than your man because I'm lampin' up
At the airport smokin' hash with all the fuckin' baggage handlers
Flowin' like the muthafuckin' aqueducts
Odd Future Wolf Gang, fag damagers, bitch, eat a dick
The fourth track off of Earl's debut mixtape, Earl touches on many themes signature of his style, including murder, drug use, weapon carrying, homophobia, and sex (consensual or otherwise).
Also to be noted (from the intro), this song is a direct reply to Tyler's last verse on Couch. Also him flexing his lyrical muscles.

Tuvalu, nine coral atolls between Australia and Hawaii, may be submerged within 50 years. Source: Beach on Fongagale Islet, Wikitravel.
Global Warming & Rising Oceans
The deep ocean seafloor is often a cold, dark place, barren of life. But from time to time a large bounty such as a whale carcass will drift down from the surface. Then sea life explodes: all manner of worms and other invertebrates arrive in larval form to colonize the dead organic matter and population increases dramatically — for a short time. Inevitably the resource dwindles and the population collapses.
In a similar fashion, humans now live upon the resource of dead organic matter. We've found our dead whale below ground, in the form of oil, gas and coal — the fossil remains of plants that lived long ago.
Fossil energy has fueled the advent and development of the industrial age and allowed human population to explode. The product of our industrial respiration, carbon dioxide (CO2), has increased in the atmosphere and now threatens to spoil our nest. The atmosphere does more than provide us with oxygen to breathe, it controls the heat balance of the world. The trouble is, compared to the ocean, the atmosphere is relatively small in mass, so human-induced changes can affect it dramatically.
The greenhouse effect
- Prior to the advent of the industrial age, the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere was about 280 ppm (parts per million).
- Today it's over 360 ppm. That's an increase of about 30% in less than 300 years.
For the earth, this is an unprecedented rate of change, about 10,000 years worth of change compressed into 100 years. And there is more CO2 in our air now than at any time since humans evolved, more than anytime over the last million years! The earth is used to slow changes, not fast ones. Slow changes allow the biosphere and earth's species time to adjust. Quick change may cause biological chaos and disrupt agricultural production. Carbon dioxide is critical to controlling the earth's heat balance because it absorbs infrared radiation (IR), basically heat.
- Coming to earth from the sun, visible radiation passes through the clear atmosphere and hits the earth.
- A portion of it is absorbed and re-radiated back to space as IR.
- CO2 traps this IR and reflects it back to the earth's surface, causing further warming.
This is called the greenhouse effect. Without it, water would freeze on earth. With too much greenhouse effect, water would boil off, leaving the surface of earth a desert. This may have been what happened on earth's neighbor, Venus. There is a delicate balance between sunlight, CO2 concentration, and heat that we must be careful not to disrupt.
To illustrate the greenhouse effect, consider a car with the windows rolled up:
- The sun's rays pass through the car's windows (visible light), and hit the car's seats.
- There the visible light is absorbed, and re-radiated to the interior of the car as IR.
- But the car's glass windows, while transparent to visible light, are opaque to IR, so the heat is trapped within the car, and the car's interior temperature becomes unbearable.
So that's why many scientists think that increasing the amount of CO2 in the air may well cause the earth to get warmer.
Rising oceans
Global sea level rise is caused by two factors. One is the delivery of water to the ocean as land ice melts, such as mountain glaciers and polar icecaps. Current evidence of global warming includes the widespread retreat of glaciers on 5 continents. For example:
Some animals depend on sea ice for survival, like this mother and pup ribbon seal (Histriophoca fasciata). Sea ice is thinning at an alarming rate. Photo: Dave Withrow, 2007 Bering Sea Ice Expedition, NOAA.
- The ice cap on Mount Kilimanjaro may be gone in 20 years. About 1/3 of Kilimanjaro's ice field has disappeared in the last 12 years and 82% of it has vanished since it was first mapped in 1912.
- Sea ice in the Arctic Ocean is thinning.
- Massive Antarctic ice sheets have collapsed into the sea with alarming rapidity.
The second factor is the thermal expansion of water within the oceans. As the temperature of the waters in the oceans rises and the seas become less dense, they will spread, occupying more surface area on the planet. Increased temperature will accelerate the rate of sea level rise.
Since the end of the last ice age, 18,000 years ago, sea level has risen by over 120 meters.
- Geological data suggests that global average sea level may have risen at an average rate of 0.1 to 0.2 mm/yr over the last 3000 years.
- However, tide gauge data indicate that the global rate of sea level rise during the 20th century was 1 to 2 mm/yr.
Along relatively flat coastlines, such as those of the Atlantic, or coastlines bordering fertile, highly populated river deltas, a 1 mm rise in sea level causes a shoreline retreat of about 1.5 meters. We are already seeing evidence of shoreline retreat in the U.S.:
- Along the marshy Gulf Coast of Florida, the effects of sea level rise can be observed in the number of dead cabbage palms at the seaward edge of the salt marsh.
- Along the Atlantic Coast of the USA, erosion is narrowing beaches and washing out vacation houses. As sea level rises and coastal communities continue to grow and pump water from aquifers, salt water intrusion into groundwater will become a greater problem.
Low-lying Pacific island nations will be inundated or the rising sea level will invade their drinking water aquifers.
- Tuvalu comprises nine coral atolls between Australia and Hawaii. Their highest point is 5 meters (15 feet) above seal level. As sea level has risen, Tuvalu has experienced lowland flooding. Saltwater intrusion is adversely affecting drinking water and food production. Tuvalu's leaders predict that the nation will be submerged in 50 years. In March 2002, the country's prime minister appealed to Australia and New Zealand to provide homes for his people if his country is washed away, but the plight of this nation is being ignored.
- Other threatened island nations include the Cook Islands and the Marshall Islands. During the last decade, the island of Majuro (Marshall Islands) has lost up to 20 per cent of its beachfront.
In addition to island nations, low-lying coastal countries are threatened by rising sea level. A 1 meter rise in sea level would inundate half of Bangladesh's rice land. Bangladeshis would be forced to migrate by the millions. Other rice growing lowlands which would be flooded include those of Viet Nam, China, India and Thailand. Millions of climate refugees could be created by sea level rise in the Philippines, Indonesia and Egypt.
Changing climate
The 10 warmest years on record have been since 1983 and the 7 warmest years on record have been since 1990. If business continues as usual, our current rate of fossil fuel consumption indicates that the carbon dioxide content of the air will double by 2100.
- This doubling will enhance the greenhouse effect and result in a 1 to 5 degree Centigrade increase in global temperature.
- Land areas will warm more rapidly than the global average as the temperature of oceanic areas will be moderated by the heat capacity of water.
- Warming will also be greatest at higher latitudes, for in the past, climate change has affected the earth's polar regions to the greatest extent.
- Humidity effects, included in the heat index, will exacerbate warming effects.
In addition to rising oceans, warmer temperatures will likely affect:
Warming trends will change the distribution of trees and other native plants, altering animal habitat. Models predict the northward retreat of temperate tree species and the northward advancement of tropical and subtropical species. But individual species will respond differently to climate change. Communities of species will not simply march back and forth, chasing the ice caps. Normal associations of plants and animals may be disrupted. Human barriers such as motorway corridors may present significant obstacles for migrating native species to jump, allowing the spread and dominance of weedy and exotic plants.
Rainfall patterns
Changing climate will change rainfall patterns. Drier conditions lead to increased wildfires while wetter conditions can result in more insect pests like mosquitoes and pine beetles. Increased CO2 in the atmosphere can stimulate plant growth, but there is evidence that plants growing under elevated carbon dioxide contain less nitrogen in their foliage, thus making them less nutritious to grazers.
Climate variability
Elevated CO2 may also affect climatic variability. Extremes kill plants and wildlife. For example, consider a period of time where variability increases but the long-term average is constant. Plants may be killed if the temperature falls below freezing for even a few hours. Likewise birds and insects may die if temperatures get too warm. Increasing variability is a big event, without even considering long-term change.
How can we stop global warming?
There is no immediate fix to the problem other than to curtail our use of fossil energy. As individuals we can help in the short term:
- We need to drive smaller vehicles and heat and cool our buildings more moderately.
- Carbon dioxide emissions can be reduced if consumers purchase more energy-efficient appliances, such as new refrigerators.
- Compact fluorescent light bulbs save tremendous amounts of fuel.
But in the long term, we need to extract energy more efficiently from fossil fuels and to develop alternative energy sources that do not lead to the production of greenhouse gases. By doubling the concentration of atmospheric CO2, we are conducting a planetary wager — one we can't afford to lose.

In the third, UNCP regained the lead as the Lady Braves scored three runs to take a 4-2 advantage.
GSW tied it up the score in their half of the inning off an Avery Purser RBI double in the bottom half of the third.
The two teams remained knotted the rest of the way until UNCP (11-13, 1-0 PBC) scored three runs in the top of the eighth inning claiming a 7-4 victory.
GSW (15-10, 0-1 PBC) was paced by Rachel McElroy's three hit effort while Purser finished with a pair of RBIs for the Lady Hurricanes.
GSW starting pitcher Allison Pastor (6-4) was credited with the loss as the junior threw for 7.1 innings giving up seven runs off 13 hits, while striking out two.
Game 2: GSW 6, UNCP 5
After two scoreless innings, both teams punched in a run in the third inning off a pair of home runs.
UNCP's Taylor Cloninger went deep in the top half of the inning while GSW countered with a Rachel McElroy long ball in the bottom half.
UNCP's bats struck again in the top of the sixth inning as the Braves got a two-run home run from Brea Harley to pull ahead, 4-1.
Once again the Lady Hurricanes were quick to strike back as GSW punched in four runs in their half of the sixth inning off a sacrifice fly from Jordan Miller, a RBI single from Nellie Moore and a RBI double from Janna Anderson to pull ahead, 5-4.
UNC Pembroke (11-14, 1-1 PBC) had an answer as the Braves scored in the top of the seventh inning as Kaytee Wilson had a RBI single on the Braves' final out of the game to tie the score.
GSW prevailed in the bottom of the seventh inning when Elliot Martin hit a walk off home run as the Lady 'Canes earned a split of the doubleheader.
GSW (16-10, 1-1 PBC) finished with seven hits on the contest from seven different Lady 'Cane players. Nellie more paced Southwestern with two RBIs.
Ashley Cavender (4-3) was awared the win for GSW as the sophomore tossed a complete game, allowing five runs off eight hits with three strikeouts.

Shark pendant
Shark pendant
Item details
Chewy Shark pendants are made of soft, flexible silicone and are available in red and blue. These measure 70mm x60mm and are roughly 15mm thick at the thickest point.
Item details
Sharks can be ordered on a plain black cord. They can also be ordered on a lanyard of your choice, or a clip-on lanyard, but please be aware this means the Shark will hang upside down!
Neck lanyards and cords all come with a breakaway clasp as standard for safety. Cords come in one long length which can be easily cut to the correct length upon receipt by simply pushing the knot out of either of the two halves of the clasp, tying a knot in a new place and cutting off the excess cord.
Clip-on items
As standard, Clip-on's are made with a snap fastener so the chewy items can be removed for easy washing. I made these as an alternative for those who are uncomfortable wearing necklaces or bracelets; these are also ideal for those with limited use of their hands and/or arms.
The black clip is made entirely of plastic and is easy to quickly clip on or unclip from clothing. The item can be clipped to any part of the clothing, such as on the shoulder, to allow the individual to reach the item with their mouth without assistance.
Safety information (necklaces)
This item is not suitable for heavy biting, it is designed for mouthing, sucking or light chewing
Only suitable for children aged 3+ (strangulation hazard). For children below this age, consider ordering this item as a Clip-on Oojamabob?
The lanyard/cord clip is not suitable for chewing, if you feel it is likely the clip will be chewed, the item will not be suitable
Please ensure use of the Oojamabob is under adult supervision at all times
Care information
Please wash thoroughly before use
Ensure the item is regularly washed
Please inspect regularly for signs of wear and tear and remove from use if the item begins to show damage
Although the pendants are fairly durable, they are by no means indestructible. Pendants will show signs of wear and tear eventually and may need replacing in time. Some may find that their pendant lasts for many many months without needing to be replaced and others may become damaged very quickly.
This is entirely dependant on the intensity and frequency of the individual's chewing behaviours and unfortunately it is not possible to guarantee the length of time any individual pendant will last.
If you are unsure which pendant will be suitable for your needs, please do contact me and I will help you to make a selection, as some are stronger than others. Please understand this is not an exact science and sometimes it may just be a matter of trial and error to find the right chew!
Fastening of necklace chews
As standard, all chewy pendants are attached to the neck lanyard or cord by way of a loop-on-loop to allow easy removal for washing.
If you are concerned the pendant may be removed by the wearer, you may choose to have the pendant attached by one of the following options*:
Sewn in place
Use of a snap button fastener
To thread the lanyard or cord through the hole of the pendant
To have the pendant attached by way of a double loop-on-loop (much more difficult to remove)
Feedback I have received so far is wearers may remove the pendant during the first few days whilst fiddling with and getting to know the new item, but after several days stop removing the pendant and focus on chewing/mouthing it.
*If you would like the pendant attached in a different way, please state this on checkout or alternatively you can contact me to discuss the best option.

A fascinating look at why differences between non-profits and businesses may be harming charities. I particularly like his views on innovation and how non-profits are risk-averse.
In 1994, Dan Pallotta created the AIDS Rides — a series of long-distance fundraising cycling journeys that netted $108 million for HIV/AIDS research and services within the space of eight years. Later, his Breast Cancer 3-Day walks netted $194 million in an even shorter period of time. Both had their best years ever in 2002. But then, after a spate of bad press criticizing the management of the organization, both were shuttered.
[ted_talkteaser id=1688]"350 employees lost their jobs because they were labeled overhead," says Palotta in today's talk, given at TED2013. "This is what happens when we confuse morality with frugality."
This wasn't just a problem for the newly unemployed or Pallotta's wounded sense of pride. As he explains in this talk, the real issue is that everything we have been taught to think about charity is wrong. In particular, the single yardstick generally used to measure the worthiness…

BEIJING, Nov. 13 (UPI) -- The Chinese Communist Party's 18th Congress ended its weeklong session Wednesday ahead of presenting its new leaders to run the country in the next decade.
Wednesday's program included the election of the party Central Committee of about 200 members, chosen through secret balloting by the 2,307 delegates who attended the Congress, which is held every five years. This year's Congress was also tasked to complete the once-in-a-decade leadership transition. The Communist Party has ruled the country since 1949 under a one-party system.
The new Politburo of about 25 members and the Politburo Standing Committee, the highest power in China appointed by the Central Committee, would be presented Thursday.
The official Xinhua News Agency said the Politburo Standing Committee was expected to meet both Chinese and foreign journalists at the Great Hall of the People Thursday morning.
Those present at the closing session included President and party General Secretary Hu Jintao, former President Jiang Zemin, and Premier Wen Jiabao, Xinhua reported. Also present were Xi Jinping, expected to succeed Hu as China's top leader, and Li Keqiang, likely successor to Wen.
Xi and Li were expected to lead the new team that must tackle Chinas' numerous challenges including a slowing economy after years of double-digit growth that made China the world's second largest economy behind the United States, widening income disparity among the country's 1.3 billion people, rampant corruption, rising ethnic tensions witnessed by the recent spate of self-immolations by Tibetans protesting Chinese rule of their land and pushing ahead with political and economic reforms while contending with the conservatives elements in the leadership.
Xinhua said the party congress "was held at the decisive stage of completing the building of a moderately prosperous society in all respects."

I was very surprised at how easy it was to apply the tint to my tail lights. Although it did come with creases in it where it was rolled but then flattened it was simple when the instructions are followed. I've had to remove it due to being able to see the creases but would still recommend to anyone that the product is well worth getting.

9/11 Memorial Site Visit
In March of this year my daughter and I took a trip to NYC and visited the 9/11 Memorial Site and found Jeffrey's name. The Memorial is really beautiful and I encourage those who may be visiting New York to definitely make a trip.
September 11, 2007
I kept meaning to post up my 2996 tribute from last year, but of course forgot this morning. Then I received this comment from Jeffrey Coale's sister, Leslie, which just absolutely made my day:
I am Jeffrey's sister. Thank you so much for sharing his life with so many people. It seems that the world has forgotten the tragedy of 6 years ago. I am heartened by your blog and the comments posted in response. Thank you.
Original Post:
Intro borrowed from Kami, who said it so eloquently:
Back in July, Dale got an idea to have one blogger each cover each of the victims of 9/11. (No matter how you feel about what happened that day, these people were indeed victims.) He set out to get 2,996 bloggers to cover all of the victims, and he exceeded his goal. I am honored to be a part of his project.
"He would send me out for all these special ingredients," his mother Joan said, "and he would make fun of my old pots and pans and utensils." Her son had become such an expert chef, she said, that "I would cook family favorites for him sometimes, and I'd get nervous and burn things."
"He had a generous heart, a kind soul and a creative intelligence. He has friends around the world. And if you were Jeff's friend you were special. While he was never mean, Jeff didn't waste his time with people who weren't genuine. Jeff rarely did anything he didn't want to do; I think this is why he was able to experience so much in life, because he was not motivated by guilt or peer pressure. He didn't waste time feeling bad."
"And the only sense I can make of why Jeffrey's life would be called so short is because of the effect it will have on so many people. He touched many lives and my hope is that now because of knowing and losing Jeff your lives will be different. Maybe someone here now won't be afraid to dream big, maybe someone will realize how short life is and start living it differently. Maybe you will change jobs, or appreciate your family more. Each of us has a responsibility to live life with a little more passion and joy in honor of a life cut short. Try to be the person Jeff knew you were capable of being."

I have a neighbor who I have called "Jim" for over a year. He moved here with his family and has been helpful with repairing our monthly air conditioner break downs.
The other day, after his most recent repair, I wrote him a note to go with some cookies I was sending over with one of the kids, to say thanks.
"Dear Jim", began the note, just like all the notes before.
Mr. López stood over my shoulder.
"Is that for Jim the neighbor next door?"
"But that's not how he spells his name."
"How do you know? How else can you spell Jim?"
"When he gave me the bill for the part he replaced, his name was on it."
I crumble the note and start a new one.
"Okay, how do you spell it?"
"I heard, you, but that doesn't say Jim."
"Yes it does, he just spells it different."
"But that's a completely different name! That's Gene as in Eugene, not Jim as in James."
"Jeem as in Eujeem. Jeem as in James. They sound the same."
"Yeah, when YOU say them. Crap. Because you told me his name is "Jeem", I've been calling him "Jim" all this time and he never even corrected me! Ugh. How awkward."
I put pen to paper and write a new note.
Dear Gene,
I am sorry I've been calling you Jim all this time. I couldn't understand my husband's accent. Here are some cookies for you and your family in thanks for repairing the air conditioner again.
Sra. López

The lamp can be easily tilted through a 90° range, so you can position the beam to suit your needs. It weighs about 4 oz and has soft foam padding on the back for comfort.
Three AAA batteries are included. Useful not only for outdoor activities such as camping or reading maps, but also in the workshop as a task light.

The Boston Globe sums it up, "Little band. Big Sound." No more needs to be said. Although the only thing "little" about Sirsy is there are just two of them. The rest is bigger than balls on a buffalo.
Listen to the power in their latest recording "Coming Into Frame". You can feel it. It's crank-up the volume music, even when the heartfelt ballads kick in. And why so much power?
Melanie Krahmer on drums and vocals, Rich Libutti on guitar. That's why.
And, according to Sirsy a lot of credit goes to Grammy-winning producers, Paul Kolderie and Sean Slade (Hole, Radiohead, Dresden Dolls, Pixies). According to Melanie, known as Mel to fans and friends alike, "Our fans have said that the energy of our live show hasn't translated onto our previous recordings.
They are going to notice a different energy level on this record and it's because of how Paul and Sean worked with us."
Do you know what a click track is? It's like a metronome and is used in recording to keep things perfect. Some believe it can take away from the spontaneity of a recording artist. According to Mel, "On some tracks, Paul and Sean didn't use a click track on purpose. The result is a few of the songs vary in tempo to suit the mood and energy of the song." In other words the recording is real. Rich, the highly talented guitarist for Sirsy says, "It seems ridiculous to remove tempo changes. Listen to 'The Cost Of You'. It speeds up at the end. That gives it the intensity there."
So "power" and "real" are the key words to describe the new recording and Sirsy itself. As Aftertaste Magazine said regarding Mel, "Bursting and belting out emotion and substance, she can be the queen of 'in the groove' rocking or be simple and delicate." And get this, she also plays a full drum kit while standing up (she's been featured in Modern Drummer Magazine), handles bass (played on a keyboard with her drumstick), and even throws in an occasional flute solo. Rich Libutti plays everything else, including seething guitar; bass (on a keyboard at his feet); and he is the anchor to Melanie's on stage tornado. Just the two of them because, "We never found other musicians who understood", according to Rich.
Sirsy plays over 200 shows a year, bringing their indie rock sound to the masses and are about to expand nationally.
"Coming Into Frame" will bring them beyond their east coast/mid-west comfort zone and into new territory including the south, and west coast. You will normally find them in the headline slot but they have also been special guests of such musical stalwarts as Grace Potter and the Nocturnals, Maroon5, Train, RaRaRiot, Boys Like Girls, Third Eye Blind, Lifehouse, Blues Traveler, Cheap Trick, and many more.
