Recent reviews:
July 27, 2014 - The only reason I have given 4 stars is because it is a lil bit more than I usually spend for a hanging planter. I bought the Blue Marrakesh design and it is so pretty. The bowl, is a nylon, slick material with a plastic drainage device on the bottom. Also, a durable, metal chain and planter perimeter support. I have only had this item 4 weeks, I hope it holds up, I think it will, it seems to be of good quality.
July 21, 2014 - Unique, nice baskets. Ordered one for me and two more for gifts. They loved them as well. Wish they would have had all designs in stock, would have ordered one of each. Highly recommend.
June 24, 2014 - I've bought five! My money went not only for a beautiful hanger but helped children like my beloved grandson make it even more special.
June 6, 2014 - I love these hanging baskets, I bought two of the spring blossoms and have little blue flowers in one and assorted purple, yellow, and red flowers in the other and they are gorgeous, One hangs on the patio and the other on the front porch. They're lightweight and excellent drainage. It also feels good to be helping such wonderful causes.
May 5, 2014 - I love these baskets, not only part of a good cause, but they are lightweight, breathable, and very lovely colors,,,, I have purchased three and given as gifts,,

This is a nice comfortable colonial hotel downtown in Nairobi. We had two nights here before and after a tour. It is a long way in from the airport. The food in the Lounge Bar was good, the rooms were quiet and double glazed and the staff were exceptionally helpful and friendly. Breakfast was what you would expect from this chain.
I suppose the guards and security are inevitable, but it did not detract from the visit to a great extent.
If I were to return to Nairobi, I would stay again.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):

All guestrooms are a blend of luxurious Victorian grandeur and modern comfort. ... more less

Going to the homebrew shop next weekend. I'm planning on picking up ingredients to make a porter, which I'd like to age over bourbon-soaked oak chips. What is the best way to go about doing this? I assume soaking the chips, and then putting them in secondary? What's the timeframe like for a beer like this? Any help/feedback would be very much appreciated
I made an AG bourbon porter. I boiled the oak chips for a few minutes then soaked then in bourbon for 2 weeks (while the wort was in the primary). I then added them into wort in secondary for 2 weeks. I was told that you could leave them in longer, but that would give a stronger bourbon flavor. I bottled a couple months ago and let it age for 4 weeks before I started tasting. Now, 3 months later, the bourbon taste is really smoothing out and blending well with the beer. I used French oak chips. Hope this helps.
I used the entire 4 oz package.

3 Hormones That Make You Skinny! (drum roll please!)
So what are these super hormones? How do they make you skinny? Most importantly though, how can you make them work for you?
The good news is that these hormones are already being produced by your body, all you need to do is to give them a little boost!
With a little help your hormones you will turn your body into an amazing, efficient, fat burning machine!
These 3 fat-melting hormones are, Testosterone, HGH ( Human Growth Hormone ), and Prostegene.
Testosterone Fat Burning Hormone #1:
T estosterone is responsible for making it possible for men to lose fat and retain muscle more easily than women. The good news is that women's bodies produce it too, and there are many ways in which we can increase its production. I know what you are thinking, "I don't want to have a hairy chest and a deep voice",.. never fear…that is only a problem if you take synthetic hormones like steroids. This is all about being a fat-burning machine!
Testosterone Benefits:
Testosterone Boosters:
Human Growth hormone is a fat burner. Your body usually uses glucose before burning fat, but HGH forces your body to use its fat reserves first! Yippee! This turns you into a fat burning machine even when you are sleeping! It also helps your body make new muscle cells. Usually your body stops growing new muscle cells after your teen years due to inadequate HGH in your body.

User registration is the foundation that allows you to provide a personalized experience for the users of your mobile apps. In this jQuery Mobile tutorial we are going to create a user registration system for a jQuery Mobile application.
In a previous jQuery Mobile tutorial of this series we designed and created the jQuery Mobile pages that we will use in the application that is the subject of this article. In a recent NodeJs and MongoDB tutorial, we also created the backend that will perform the registrations and store the user profiles.
Now we are going to connect the two pieces and create and end-to-end system that allows users to register with the application. Let's start by creating a few helper files.

I am very, very close to completing the first draft of Berand Brave. And, it is a corker. (that means it's really good). Here's a tease:
Chapter Fifty-Three
Glothau dae Fellananthau
(Demons and Messengers)
Dirkdyths stood amidst the wildly whipping grass of the featureless meadowland. He still gripped his black sword and long knife. The night sky was overcast and dull. The wind moved in patterns across the dark sea of green blades. There was no glow of the moon burning through the thick clouds, and not even a hint of star shine. There were no trees, no animals, nothing. If he closed his eyes, all he heard was the low, pained growl of the wind. He could imagine he was nowhere, untethered, less than alive, uncreated.

I am going to try my first partial mash recipe soon and was wondering how you guys keep a steady temperature in your kettle while your grains steep for an hour or whatever is called for.
A trick I was told was to steep the kettle in the oven on warm setting. Unfortunately I have a oven that's lowest setting is 200 degrees...WAY TOO HOT!
Tips? Tricks? Bueller?
Realistically, so long as you keep it in the ballpark, it doesn't really matter terribly much if you lose a bit of temperature. When I steep, I get the water where I want it, chuck in the grains, and put a lid on the pot. Good enough for science.
"Be excellent to each other." -Benjamin Franklin
When I do small batch stove top stuff, lid off on the smallest burner on low, holds temps pretty stable. Set a timer ever 15 minutes to check and give a stir.
Technically with a partial mash you are mashing not steeping. They are similar but different.
I would go ahead and use the oven. Preheat to your target temperature, put in the pot, check and adjust the temperature, turn the oven off, then walk away for an hour.
The temperature should stay close to what you want. A few degrees of drop is not disastrous.
200 degrees is much closer to mash temp than 65 degrees (room temp). I would heat the oven to 155-160 then shut it off. I routinely use my oven that goes down to 170 and have never had a problem provided it's turned off during the mash. It's much better than constantly constantly checking at room temp.
I want to apologize for my horrible spelling error in the title of this post. Using the iPad app sometimes has its disadvantages!
Preheat oven to 200F. When your grain bag is in and you have hit your mash temp, turn OFF oven and put kettle in oven. It will keep the temp as the oven will fall to 150 degrees or so just by opening it one time.
Next up: Belgian Wit
Primary 1&2: Citric Acid IPA (All Citra)
Primary 3&4: Amber Rain Amber Ale
Bottle Conditioning/drinking: German Kolsch, Osage Pale Ale.
I also use the oven method. I usually end up turning the oven back on for about a minute each time I stir the mash. The oven loses a lot of heat when the door is open fully for a minute while stirring. I also started mashing with a smaller volume of mash water in order to reduce the weight of the mash, I was a bit worried how much the rack in the oven was bending. I then add the rest of the water volume (consider it sparge water if you like) to about190 degrees to help being up the mash-out temp when I move the pot back to the top of the stove. Still have full volume boil, but makes the pot easier to manage when moving the pot around between stove top and oven.

Talking Color Auras with Linda Lauren
By Courtney Henley on May 11, 2012
I have always had a fascination with anyone, who is gifted in the art of psychic mediumship. Last week, I had the great pleasure to have a reading with the amazing Linda Lauren, who utilizes color and energy therapy to help people live their best lives. She enlightened me to some things I didn't know and confirmed others that I did, about myself. Afterwards, we had a chat about her talent and her new book, "Hostage in Time".
TGATP: Wow you are a fourth generation psychic medium! Who was the first in your family and what side was it?
LL: Both sides, but primarily on my father's side from both his parents, more so his mother. My grandmother was sort of a healer and neighborhood counsel back in her day. My father relates stories to me that include his grandmother and great-grandmother as well. So actually, if you include my father, I'm the 5th generation. My mother was an extremely intuitive woman in her own right, and traced her intuitive abilities to her grandmother on her mother's side. She was good at dream interpretations.
TGATP: You read the color aura around people and the places and objects that they come in contact with. Tell us about that. For example, what are color auras and where do they come from? Does every thing have a color aura? What are some of the most common colors you see and what do they mean? Why is it important to one's well being? And are there auras that are not compatible with other ones. Like can it be a clashing aura that makes people not get along?
LL: What I do is to combine Color and Energy Therapy to help people work with the colors in their lives to positive benefit. Everything contains energy and I am able to see the colors that depict that energy. Each color is indicative of something the person is experiencing. That is neither good nor bad, it just is. However, my guidance helps them to use the colors to their advantage. When you are using the right colors you feel good and when you feel good you encourage good health in all areas. There are some common colors like shades of blue (encouraging clear communication) and purple (intuitive awareness) that are important to splash into one's day and/or thoughts.
As to whether colors "clash," I would say that it is more a matter of the person learning to focus on the colors that feel good to them. That usually works if people in relationships understand that. I counsel a lot of people on the benefits of using the colors I "read" in their relationships.
For the rest of my fascinating interview with Linda including her predictions for the nation, go to: http://bit.ly/IG5uVk

Crews Clean Up Northeast Blizzard
By Jeff Brady
Originally published on Sat February 9, 2013 4:51 pm
As crews dig out from a record-breaking snow storm in New England, there are new worries about flooding. The National Weather Service reported waves three stories high off the coast. NPR's Jeff Brady reports from Boston.

The Gotland sheep, also known as the Gotland pelt, is a breed of domestic sheep that was developed on the Island of Gotland in Sweden during the 1920's and 1930's. It is thought the breed was developed by crossbreeding the native Gute sheep with the Karakuls and Romanov breeds. Although the native Gute sheep still resides on the island, it is considered a rare breed. The Gotland sheep, sometimes called the improved Gotland, can be found in many other areas including Australia, New...
The natterjack toad, Epidalea Calamita, formerly Bufo calamita, is a toad endemic to sandy and heathland areas of Europe. The adults are about 60 to 70 millimeters long and are set apart from common toads by a yellow colored line that runs down the middle of the back. They have fairly short legs, and this provides them with a characteristic step, compared to the hopping movement of many other toad species. Natterjacks have a very loud and distinct mating call, amplified by the single vocal...
The Asturian Valley is a breed of cattle native to the valleys of Asturias, Spain and raised in the northern coastal region of the Bay of Biscay and the river valleys of the Cordillera Cantabrica mountain range. During the 1800s, the Asturian Valley were the most abundant cattle breed of northern Spain. However, in the early 1900s, foreign breeds began to overrun the area and by the mid 1900s, only 22,000 Asturian Valley cattle were left. Beginning in the 1980s, the Spanish government...
The Jaca Navarra is a breed of horse from Navarre, Spain. It is a small horse in danger of extinction. In 1997 there were 240 horses and the population slowly increased to 350 in 1999. Since then the population has increased steadily to a total of 899 horses as of April 2011, all of which were in Navarre. The breed is listed as endangered by the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO). In 1999 a breeders association (JACANA) was formed and the breed register for the Jaca Navarra was...
The Hucul Pony also known as the Carpathian is a small pony from the Carpathian Mountains, in Ukraine and Romania. The name comes from a small group of ethnic Hutsul people.

The first stud farm was established in Romania in 1856 and several different breeds were carefully bred for purity. In 1922,...

Longhorns, Augie refuse to go home from Omaha
They're like the uncle who refuses to go home.
The Texas Longhorns, making their record 35th appearance in the College World Series, just keep winning and staying, winning and staying.
By the end of Thursday's TCU-Ole Miss game, only four teams will be left in this NCAA tournament, and coach Augie Garrido's Longhorns, 1-0 victors Wednesday, will be one of them.
Go figure. After dropping their World Series-opening game to UC Irvine, the 'Horns, plagued by suspect hitting, were roundly presumed to have a short shelf life.
Alas, as it has turned out, everybody here has been plagued by suspect hitting. Their dogs ate their batting homework. Or something.
As Texas and the UC Irvine Anteaters settled in for Wednesday night's elimination game, these are a few numbers that greeted the paying customers:
.235, .224, .220, .209, .206, .190 and .105.
Those are the collective batting averages of seven of the eight College World Series teams. The notable outlier is Vanderbilt, hitting a relatively robust .281.
The other number of note, of course, was zero. That was the number of home runs hit at TD Ameritrade Park through the tourney's first eight games.
But no more. At 8:51 p.m., Omaha time, with a southerly wind again blowing at 24 mph, Texas shortstop C.J. Hinojosa powered the Series' first home run with a soaring drive over the left-field wall.
We blinked in disbelief. The crowd gasped — and then erupted. The UT dugout partied like it was 1999. Or, OK, like 2005, when Garrido and the Longhorns won their last NCAA championship.
Describe the dugout reaction, someone asked Garrido after the game.
"Four players fainted," Augie responded.
Hinojosa, whose only previous homer this season came two months ago against Oklahoma, said he got lucky.
"I think the wind may have changed," he said, "so that was kind of lucky on our side."
Hinojosa's home run came in the top of the seventh, and the way this College World Series has gone, Texas seemed to have an insurmountable 1-0 lead.
To hear the crusty Garrido tell it, pitching and defense got the Longhorns here. And pitching and defense won't let them go home.
In three games here, Texas pitchers have allowed only four runs, three of them scored by the Anteaters in the opening loss. On Wednesday night, it was sophomore right-hander Chad Hollingsworth from Waco Robinson who put up the zeroes.
It was 8 1/3 zeroes, actually, before closer Travis Duke came in to record the final two outs.
Hollingsworth did what all the UT pitchers are being asked to do.
"Just keep it simple," Garrido said. "Hit the mitt."
"Skip [Johnson, pitching coach] knows how to pitch probably better than anybody in the country," Hollingsworth said. "He's been preparing us all year for this.
"I mean, it's not that hard when you have probably the best defense in the country. You really just throw the ball in the mitt. I'm not up there striking people out every time. I just throw to the mitt."
The best example of Hollingsworth's praise for his fielders came in UC Irvine's third inning. With a runner on, Texas center fielder Mark Payton raced to the fringes of the warning track in right-center and plucked Taylor Sparks' drive in full dive.
The ensuing battle of pitchers meant the stage was set for Hinojosa's semi-historic homer.
Garrido was asked if he, too, was one of the ones who fainted in the UT dugout.
"No, I had a mild heart attack," Augie answered.
He'll have to stick around for two more days, as it turns out.
Texas will face Vandy, undefeated in the Series, Friday afternoon. The Longhorns will have to beat the Commodores twice to win their half of the bracket.
Don't count them out. Of all teams, Texas knows its way around Omaha.
And it's not ready to go home.

They are immune to the venom of scorpions and so also include them in their diets. They are expert diggers; a clan of meerkats is capable of constructing a vast network of burrows under the hard desert soil. Despite the name, the meerkat is not a member of the cat family.

Escherichia coli YmdB regulates biofilm formation independently of its role as an RNase III modulator

BMC Microbiology 2013, 13:266 doi:10.1186/1471-2180-13-266Published: 24 November 2013
Ribonuclease III (RNase III) activity modulates hundreds of genes in Escherichia coli (E. coli). YmdB, a member of the macrodomain protein family, is one of known trans-acting regulators of RNase III activity; however, the significance of its regulatory role in specific bacterial cellular processes and related genes has not been determined. YmdB overexpression was used to model YmdB-induced RNase III inhibition in vivo, and microarray analysis identified gene targets and cellular processes related to RNase III inhibition.
The expression of >2,000 E. coli genes was modulated by YmdB induction; 129 genes were strongly regulated, of which 80 have not been reported as RNase III targets. Of these, ten are involved in biofilm formation. Significantly, YmdB overexpression also inhibited biofilm formation via a process that is not uniquely dependent upon RNase III inhibition. Moreover, biofilm formation is interdependently regulated by RpoS, a known stress response regulator and biofilm inhibitor, and by YmdB.
This is the first global profile of target genes modulated by YmdB-induced RNase III inhibition in E. coli, and the data reveal a novel, hitherto unrecognized regulatory role for YmdB in biofilm modulation.

Scarpa's Rebel line has been evolving with the design input of Ueli Steck. The Rebel Lite offers the DNA of Scarpa's top climbing boots in a lighter form and is perfect for the consumer looking for a hybrid boot that will not only walk well but also climb, scramble, via Ferrata and take the occasional use of crampons for a summit dash or glacier crossing.
There are 3 distinct features to the Rebel family -
- The new NAG last provides all day comfort, but focuses the foot in a toe central position making the boots climb really well.
- The sock fit tongue gusset made of Schoeller fabric reduces bulk and weight and literally sucks the volume out of the boot like the elastic gusset of a rock slipper.
- Its triple injection PU layers in the sole wedge provide the state of the art in weight reduction and underfoot comfort.
The Rebel Lite is GTX lined and the outsole is a new Vibram Mulaz which offers an improved cleating depth in all zones of the sole.
Its TPU crampon ledge allows the use of a new matic style binding (this boots does stretch the traditional thinking behind a conventional B2 boot classification given the boots apparent softness, however it has been extensively tested by guides in the Dolomites and by Brian hall in a New Zealand winter). The add a flex bar to a pair of Grivel Air Tech new matic for example makes a great combination or use a classic C1 rated crampon like the Grivel G10 NC

Kinesis Tech GTX
THE NEW ACTIVFIT PROGRAM HAS BEEN IN DEVELOPMENT FOR SEVERAL YEARS IN ORDER TO PERFECT THE TECHNOLOGY. Combining five specific areas; Last, Sole, Ergonomic Design and Footbed, defining a new standard in instant comfort. The Kinesis Tech is a great 3-4 season season boot which boasts a GTX lining, protective rubber rand and a brand new Scarpa® last. The BD last has been formulated for the male foot and provides maximum foot hold and allows greater toe volume and increased fit, allowing a good foot rolling action for ease of forward propulsion and comfort. While the new heel design ensures the foot is locked into place for optimal fit and performance. The ActivFit technology also gives the Kinesis Tech an ultra fast speed lacing system which let's you cinch in the boot quickly from the toe to the top, auto fit foam padding that wraps the ankle and a V-Flex collar around the top of the boot to provide maximum freedom of movement.

Eugene O'Neill
Eugene Gladstone O'Neill was an American playwright and Nobel laureate in Literature.
Early Life
O'Neill was born in a Broadway hotel room in New York City on October 16, 1888. O'Neill's father, James O'Neill, was one of Nineteenth Century America's most popular actors. Due to his father's profession, O'Neill was sent to a Catholic boarding school where he found his only solace in books. O'Neill spent his summers in New London, Connecticut.
In 1906 he entered Princeton but was soon expelled.Accounts vary as to why he left. He may have been dropped for attending too few classes, been suspended for "conduct code violations", or "for breaking a ... more »

Eugene O'Neill Poems
To Winter
"Blow, blow, thou winter wind." Away from here, And I shall greet thy passing breath Without a tear.
A Regular Sort of a Guy
He fights where the fighting is thickest And keeps his high honor clean; From finish to start, he is sturdy of heart, Shunning the petty and mean;
Villanelle of Ye Young Poet's First Vill...
To sing the charms of Rosabelle, To pour my soul out at her feet, I try to write this villanelle.
Even as a child
Even as a child my face was "gloomy." I found few reasons to smile, none to laugh: father gutting his great gifts
It's Great When You Get In
They told me the water was lovely, That I ought to go for a swim, The air was maybe a trifle cool, "You won't mind it when you get in"
The sunset gun booms out in hollow roar Night breathes upon the waters of the bay The river lies, a symphony in grey, Melting in shadow on the further shore.
Weary am I of the tumult, sick of the staring crowd, Pining for wild sea places where the soul may think aloud. Fled is the glamour of cities, dead as the ghost of a dream, While I pine anew for the tint of blue on the breast of the old Gulf Stream.

To Winter
"Blow, blow, thou winter wind."
Away from here,
And I shall greet thy passing breath
Without a tear.
I do not love thy snow and sleet
Or icy flows;
When I must jump or stamp to warm
My freezing toes.
For why should I be happy or
E'en be merry,
In weather only fitted for
Cook or Peary.
My eyes are red, my lips are blue
My ears frost bitt'n;
Thy numbing kiss doth e'en extend
Thro' my mitten.
I am cold, no matter how I warm
Or clothe me;
O Winter, greater bards have sung
I loathe thee!

Anyone can plot a coup or fire an assassin's bullet. But in a world of muskets and magic, it takes considerably more to seize the throne. The ailing King of the Vordan lies on his deathbed. When he dies, his daughter, Raesinia Orboan, will become the first Queen Regnant in centuries - and a ripe target for the ambitious men who seek to control her. The most dangerous of these is Duke Orlanko, Minister of Information and master of the secret police. Having meticulously silenced his adversaries through intimidation, imprisonment, and execution, Orlanko is the most feared man in the kingdom. And he knows an arcane secret that puts Raesinia completely at his mercy.
Exposure would mean ruin, but Raesinia is determined to find a way to break herself - and her country - out of Orlanko' s iron grip. She finds unlikely allies in the returning war hero Janus bet Vhalnich, fresh from a brilliant campaign in the colony of Khandar, and his loyal deputies, Captain Marcus d' Ivoire and Lieutenant Winter Ihernglass. As Marcus and Winter struggle to find their places in the home they never thought they would see again, they help Janus and Raesinia set in motion events that could free Vordan from Orlanko' s influence - at the price of throwing the nation into chaos. But with the people suffering under the Duke' s tyranny, they intend to protect the kingdom with every power they can command, earthly or otherwise.

"What a great book!"
This book has the chance to be the beginning of a great epic fantasy series. The magic system isn't really unfolded until the second half of the book and it's quite novel. The narration is excellant and that makes it an even better listen. Definitely worth a credit.
"Pretty good sequel, but..."
I enjoyed the first book a bit more. I stumbled across the first book in this series by accident, looking for different book. I spent a credit on it and was very glad I did.
This second book was also very enjoyable. I listened to it over 2 days. For some reason I had a hard time getting in to it early on. The drastic change in setting from the first book took a bit getting used to.
For some reason the Thousand Names that were so important in book 1 barely find mention in book 2. I suppose I was expecting much more with that. Perhaps the author wasn't entirely sure how he wanted to proceed with the supernatural parts of the story and focused on a revolution instead? Regardless, that was the reason I dropped it to 4 stars.
I definitely would recommend this book and the first in the series, The Thousand Names.
I absolutely love my audible account, makes its from enjoying a book to loving the stories found in the books. Do forgive my errors in the reviews i do have dyslexia but i will share my love with everyone
"War, now politics"
The King is sick, the Last Duke is about to make his move. But the Princess has a trick up her sleeve too. she was used as a pawn by the Last Duke but pawns can fight back too. Winter, Marcus and Janus come back in time to help but they don't know what the princess is doing.
Marcus is in charge of a group of men that have a spy inside it. Winter is on a special mission where she must give up her disguise and be a girl.
As I continue to read this I cant help but get a feeling that there is a something hidden in the story. What is happening with the Thousand Names what is Janus doing? So much mystery to find out.
Love Orson Scott Card, Stephen King, C.S. Friedman and Sanderson. Also especially like Clive Barker and am trying to get into the Foundation
"Fantastic Second Installment"
This storyline is as riveting and engrossing as the first book. Richard Poe does an excellent job and does not over act the varying accents and genders. I found my 6 hour drive flew by listening to this book and can't wait to hear the rest when I drive back.

Beware of Robert Johnsons and Anyone Named Ted Kennedy
April 28, 2008

My latest
Civil Discourse comic
tackles the government's Terrorist Watch list, which has almost million names. Who's on it? Toddlers, dead people,
, and
Iraq War vets
. You know, the people most likely to harm America. See the
ACLU's watch list counter
for more info.
Common names like "Robert Johnson"are listed without specific details. So far,
12 Robert Johnsons report being interrogated at airports
. In an attempt to find the elusive John William Anderson they detained a six-year-old. Sometimes you really can be too careful.
The artist formerly known as
Cat Stevens changed his name to Yusuf Islam
. Apparently, that's too Islam-y for the government so he's on the no fly list as well. (He should change it to an unpronounceable symbol, like Prince did, just to mess with them). Were he to be allowed on a flight, the coach section could spontaneously break out into a rendition of "Peace Train." The airline industry is suffering enough. We don't need anyone reminding them of trains at this point-especially peaceful ones.

"So I feel for their PR department, at least." - Operative
I don't, not in the least. I've never liked Reggie (cue the boos) because he entered Nintendo as a marketing executive at Addidas. If anyone knows how to leverage fandom for profit, it's a shoe company. Reggie and his team are great at dissembling; they won't tell the truth if a lie will do. And I think their explanations thus far have been under-developed lies.

On Securitization: The Future of Solar Finance
Elias, Allianz SE put the value of the infrastructure in the world's largest coastal cities at risk to sea level rise at $28 trillion.
A few months ago researchers warned that a catastrophic methane release from the thawing arctic could cost up to $60 trillion.
It seems to me therefore a new financial instrument that has an insurance component in it is needed to fiance mitigating strategies.
On Carbon Bubble: Pop vs. Deflate, Doom vs. Hope
Lou, from Sinclair link provided, "High quality global journalism requires investment."
The same, in spades, applies to energy production. Fossil fuels, based on centuries worth of experience and infrastructure are able to generate steady returns by offloading massive liabilities on future generations.
The technologies capable of replacing fossil fuels currently generate little to no revenue and in some cases are only at the conceptual stage. They have the potential however to save future generations trillions and produce trillions in revenue down the long development road.
Surely to God, the financial geniuses who have figured out how to build massively profitable companies based on the prospect that I might read, let alone then buy something based on that reading, an advertisement on some search engine or social networking site, can figure out how to monetize future saving of trillions and revenues no less grand.
Would that I could figure this one out but its way over my head. I will have to be content with working on the solution, which Dr. Paul Curto, former Chief Technolgist with NASA, points out, " is by far the most balanced means to face the challenge of global warming. It is also the one that requires the greatest investment to meet its potential. It is a most intriguing answer that can save us from Armageddon."
On Sandy Anniversary a Reminder of the Need for Better Protections
A need for better energy choices.
The storm was caused by excessively warm Atlantic surface waters from which evaporation occured and heat fueled the storm.
It was exacerbated by sea level rise, which has three causes: thermal expansion, icecap melting and aquifer pumping.
The movement of surface ocean heat to the depths the past fifteen years has caused the so-called global warming hiatus, which is replicated by the ocean thermal energy conversion method. This in turn mitigates the problem of sea level rise, by converting part of the heat that causes thermal expansion to work, moving about 25 times more of that heat to a depth of 1000 meters, where the coefficient of expansion is half that of the surface and by converting ocean liquid volume to hydrogen and oxygen to get the OTEC power to shore.
Storms like Sandy also move heat towards the poles where it melts the ice. To the extent the power for such storms can be bled off, sea level rise benefits.
In North America, the aquifer pumping problem can be addressed by relocating water from areas where it is in excess to areas of deprivation and in this process a considerable amount of hydro power can be generated.
Massive problems going begging for PROFITABLE solutions in plain view?
Where are all the so-called New York financial whizzes when their own city needs them?
On Foggy Notions of Climate Change
Steve sadly too true.
Banks don't exist however without our deposits.
I believe the numbers are on the side of the angels.
On Rising Energy Costs Lead to Recession; Eventually Collapse
Keith, I figure about .0625/kwh which is in the range of your .05 for the first ten years in your video. I suspect this too will decline with economies of scale and experience.
How much environmental damage are you going to do putting your infrastructure into GEO and how vulnerable will it be to space junk?
As to the piping for OTEC, this can be between 1 and 2 meters in diameter as compared to 15 for a conventional 50MW plant, depending on the velocity you need for the vapor. I would bring the power ashore as an energy carrier.
On Rising Energy Costs Lead to Recession; Eventually Collapse
Gail, OTEC isn''t intermittent. It is the largest non-intermittent source of renewable energy we have. Its cost is reduced by moving small volumes of working fluid between a hot and a cold reservoir rather than trying to bring massive amounts of cold water from the deep to the vaporized working fluid. The movement of 25 times as much heat from the surface to the deep, as you get with a heat pipe design, mimics the natural phenomenum of the last fifteen years that saw atmospheric temperatures rise between a half and third slower than they had the previous 50 years. This heat also causes about a half the thermal expansion as it would on the surface, thus half the sea level rise, because the coefficient of expansion at 1000 meters is half what it is at the surface of the tropics.
The International Monetary Fund pointed out a few months ago that when you include the Societal Energy Liabilities the fossil fuel industry is being subsidized to the tune of $1.9 trillion a year or 2.5 percent of global GDP.
By my reckoning, if you invest a universal carbon tax of $20 a ton, $550 billion/year in the production of $500 million/unit 100 MW OTEC plants, you could build about 2,000 the first year.
If the cash flow from the energy those produce, plus carbon taxes was reinvested each year, in new facilities, in about 32 years the entire fleet of 300 thousand OTEC plants the ocean can sustain could be built out and the prospect of runaway global warming, sea level rise and proliferating storms would be a thing of the past..
If you invested the entire $1.9 trillion societal cost, this would of course happen that much sooner. And the revenue those plants would produce, between $5 to $10 trillion/year would pay off a lot of debt.
Since these plants use no fuel, they will generate a lot of revenue over their 60 year life spans, to pay off both debt as well as the needs of government . There are also a lot of workers salaries that will go into the building of these plants.
On Rising Energy Costs Lead to Recession; Eventually Collapse
There are also Societal Energy Liabilities, such as the cost of adapting to sea level rise, loss of crop land to drought, loss of forests to fire and destruction of property by storm surge, etc. that are accelerating the world towards the economic collapse you portray.
There is a lot of profit to be made by solving those issues and producing the clean energy required to accomplish the task. .
On The Lasting Impact of the 1973 Oil EmbargoRobert, I have had similar thoughts about the oil embargo and the lessons that weren't learned. In 1970, General Motors had about a 60 percent share of the U.S. auto market, whereas today it has about 20 percent. The void has been filled by small imports and today's analogy is, I fear, the renewable energy market opportunities that are eluding us. Back in the day the pitch for the status quo went; little cars aren't safe, the American public will never accept them etc. etc. Echoes of today's Luddites reverberate over the air ways ad nauseum and threaten to leave us holding an even poorer economic hand a few decades from now.
On Rising Energy Costs Lead to Recession; Eventually Collapse
Michael, the climate problem is manifest by the accumulation of heat in the oceans. To address the problem, you can either convert a portion of the heat to work or you can try to move it somewhere else.
If you do the latter, and chose deep water as your destination, and move the heat there through a heat engine by way of a heat pipe, you get both benefits and can produce at least as much energy as we are currently deriving from fossil fuels.
This is, of course, zero emissions energy, so over time atmospheric CO2 concentrations will decline.
The efficacy of this gizmo has been demonstrated by the so-called climate change hiatus of the past fifteen years, which has seen Nature move heat to the deep of her own accord; absent any useful energy return.
The creation of most other gizmos is little more than the addition of entropy to an already overheating planet.
On After Sandy, States Must Prepare for Climate Change
When the dice are loaded, get the lead out.
The climate dice are loaded because the oceans have accumulated over 90% of the heat attributed to climate change.
In order to unload this situation you have to try to halt further accumulation and do something about the heat you already have.
Even if you stop adding heat to the oceans however, by getting CO2 emissions under control, the seas are going to continue to rise for centuries due to the thermal inertia of the ocean.
Irrespective of atmospheric CO2 concentrations there are a number of things that can be done about sea level rise:
- Convert some of the heat that is causing thermal expansion to electrical energy in a heat engine, which is another definition of ocean thermal energy conversions or OTEC.
- Move surface ocean heat to a depth of 1000 meters where the coefficient of expansion of salt water is half that of the tropical surface due to the increase in pressure and cold temperature at depth (as OTEC does).
- Convert part of the ocean's liquid volume to its gaseous components, hydrogen and oxygen and then recombine these on land to produce water and energy (as is required to move offshore power generated by OTEC to shore).
- Limit the movement of tropical heat towards the poles, where it causes icecap melting, by converting this tropical heat to mechanical energy and moving it to the deep where the coefficient of expansion is lower (as OTEC does),
- Desalinate ocean water (as you can do with the OTEC's open cycle or by using the power it creates) and sequester that water in the only terrestrial spaces big enough to accept the amount of water that would make a difference to sea level rise and which are by definition in need of such volumes; the world's hot deserts.
- Capture melt water and precipitation before it can reenter the oceans to swell their volume, and
- Recharge aquifers that have contributed about a third of the measured sea level rise to date with water from areas of the planet where it is in excess.
From late 2010 and to early 2011, sea levels actually declined 5mm due to massive rainfall, mainly in Australia.
In each of the two subsequent years however it has increased by 10 mm, which is triple the 1993 to 2010 average of 3.18mm per year, as the prior deluge ran back into the oceans.
If instead as much as possible had been returned to depleted aquifers, sea level rise would have benefited two ways; first by negating the need for further aquifer pumping and second by reversing the rise attributed to the same.
The upshot of the first four approaches to the most significant threat posed by climate change is you can produce at least as much energy as we are currently deriving from the fossil fuels that are creating the problem and probably again as much.
On Two Views of Our Current Economic and Energy Crisis
Gail, what if climate is our weakness?
Currently the problem is being manifest by the buildup of heat in the oceans.
It has seemed to me for some time that the answer is to convert as much of that heat to work as possible in order to obtain the energy demanded.
OTEC accomplishes this by moving about 20 times more heat to the depths than energy produced. This outcome alone replicates the natural phenomena of the passed 15 years which has brought about a so-called climate change hiatus.
The EROI argument has been used against this answer often on these pages.
Dr. Michael Dale of Stanford estimates in his thesis that the mean EROI for OTEC is 4; exactly the same as Alberta's oil sands. No credit however is given to OTEC for its climate remediating impact and conversely the oil sands are not debted for the environmental damage they produce.
On Two Views of Our Current Economic and Energy Crisis
Laws of physics that dictates that the achievable fuel economy of cars and trucks will double for a 30% decrease in speed.
Nathan in one of the provinces of Canada that scored highest in environmental stewardship a year ago according to a national report card published by a Canadian business magazine, British Columbia, the transportation minister claims speed limits on B.C. highways are long overdue for a review and could see an increase based on current research.
Go figure!

Canstar Community News - ONLINE EDITION
New coaches for the '13-'14 season
Bisons men's volleyball will be under new leadership for the 2013-2014 season.
Garth Pischke, the team's head coach for 32 seasons and professor of kinesiology at the University of Manitoba, will be taking a six-month sabbatical starting at the end of September.
Filling in for Pischke will be Cam Johnson, 35, and Ryan Ratushniak, 40, as assistant coach.
Johnson is coming to the Bisons after 14 years as a teacher and coach at Collège Jeanne-Sauvé in St. Vital. He has also coached for the University of Winnipeg and Team Manitoba. Prior to that, Johnson played for Team Manitoba and the University of Winnipeg for four years.
Ratushniak has coached over 30 club, college, and provincial-level teams from 2002 to 2013. He coached the varsity girls team at Shaftesbury High School before becoming the athletic director at Red River College and starting the men's volleyball program. Prior to teaching, Ratushniak played for U of M for five seasons, contributing to three Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) National Championships.
Both are very familiar with the team and their style, said Pischke, who didn't have final say but still had a strong role in choosing the two men.
"They were my recommendation," said Pischke. "They have coached all the players, pretty much all the players, so I thought that was a really nice fit to have that."
Johnson and Ratushniak have been running the team since the beginning of this year's training.
"Already, we're in the first week, but we can tell it's a group that's young but they still have a lot of volleyball experience," said Johnson. "The expectation is to learn about the game, to learn to be a good team, and to do things the right way. That will put us in a position to be really competitive, and we might surprise some of the teams."
Pischke, Johnson and Ratushniak all agree that though the team is young they have the skills to compete at the CIS level.
"We're looking at developing these guys, and not just for the future, but for this season and really improving the whole aspect of playing volleyball," said Ratushniak. "Developing those skills, mental ability, physical ability, and I think (Johnson) has done a great job starting off creating an atmosphere of using the term 'one-ness' and getting the team to buy into the team concept."
Ratushniak is particularly excited to work with the young team going into the season that starts Oct. 24 against the University of Winnipeg.
"It's just a great group of guys that are coming together really well from what we can see," said Ratushniak. "It's exciting to work with a group like that because they are highly motivated on their own and we don't have to do too much motivation because it's there with this group of guys."
During his time off, Pischke said he will be working on a volleyball scouting program. He also hinted that his time as coach will soon be coming to an end as retirement nears.
"I think both these guys are potential coaches to take over the program when I'm done," said Pischke. "I'm getting close to the retirement age, so that could be in the next three or four years. I'm not sure yet."
Though he will not be behind the bench, Pischke will be nearby on the sidelines.
"I'm going to keep in very close touch with them over the course of the year," said Pischke. "I may even travel with them, not as a coach, but just to see what is going on, because this is a very young team and it might be the team that I retire with."
Pischke's overall coaching record at the U of M is 1,233 wins and 331 losses for a win percentage of 78.79%.
