Theme Park is a construction and management simulation game designed by Bullfrog Productions and originally released in 1994, in which the player designs and operates an amusement park.
Like most of Bullfrog's games, Theme Park is permeated by an eccentric sense of humour.
Theme Hospital is Bullfrog's thematic successor to the game, while Chris Sawyer's RollerCoaster Tycoon series has evolved the concept to offer a far more realistic selection of rides.
Starting with a free plot of land in the United Kingdom and few hundred thousand pounds, the player must build a profitable amusement park. Money is spent on building rides and shops and on staff, and is earned through sale of entry tickets, merchandise and refreshments. The goal is to increase the park's value and available cash so that the park can be sold and a new lot can be bought from another part of the world and start building a new theme park.[1] Newer products can be bought after researching them. Once enough money has been made the player can move on to newer plots. Plots are located all over the world and have many different factors that affect gameplay, including the economy, weather, terrain and land value.
There are over thirty attractions available in the game. Depending on the platform, it is possible to tour the park or the rides. There are simple rides like the bouncy castle and tree house, and more complicated and expensive rides like the roller coaster and the Ferris wheel.
There is a focus in the staff side of the park as well. People employed in the park include entertainers, security guards, mechanics, and handymen. Lack of staff can cause problems, including messy footpaths, rides breaking down (and with sufficient neglect, exploding), crime, and unhappy visitors. Occasionally, wages and the price of goods must be negotiated; failure to negotiate results in staff strikes and loss of shipment. Theme Park offers three levels of simulation, with the higher difficulties requiring more management of aspects such as logistics.
Nintendo DS[edit]
The game was remade for the Nintendo DS by EA Japan. It was released in Japan on 15 March 2007 with releases in the US and Europe on 20 March 2007 and 23 March 2007. New features of the game are the user interface, which was designed to fit the stylus functionality of the DS platform, and bonus rides/shops exclusive to certain properties, such as a Tea Room themed on an AEC Routemaster bus for England, Japanese dojo-style bouncy castle for Japan, a Coliseum-themed Pizza Parlour for Italy, a La Sagrada Familia-themed Paella restaurant for Spain etc.[2] The remake is based on the DOS version.[1] The game differs from the original in that the game provides four different advisors who each provide different advice. In-game music depends not on the ride that is focused on, but rather the adviser that is chosen. In addition, there is only one save game slot.
Bullfrog has since released two sequels: Theme Park World (sold as Sim Theme Park in the United States and some other places) and Theme Park Inc (also known as SimCoaster).

The Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL) is engaged in comprehensive long lead-time research fundamental to NOAA's mission. Scientists at GFDL develop and use mathematical models and computer simulations to improve our understanding and prediction of the behavior of the atmosphere, the oceans, and climate. GFDL scientists focus on model-building relevant for society, such as hurricane research, prediction, and seasonal forecasting, and understanding global and regional climate change.
Since 1955, GFDL has set the agenda for much of the world's research on the modeling of global climate change and has played a significant role in the World Meteorological Organization, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change assessments, and the U.S. Global Change Research Program. GFDL's mission is to be a world leader in the development of earth system models, and the production of timely and reliable knowledge and assessments on natural climate variability and anthropogenic changes.
GFDL research encompasses the predictability and sensitivity of global and regional climate; the structure, variability, dynamics and interaction of the atmosphere and the ocean; and the ways that the atmosphere and oceans influence, and are influenced by various trace constituents. The scientific work of the Laboratory incorporates a variety of disciplines including meteorology, oceanography, hydrology, classical physics, fluid dynamics, chemistry, applied mathematics, and numerical analysis.
Research is also facilitated by the Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences Program (AOS), which is a collaborative program at GFDL with Princeton University. Under this program, Princeton faculty, research scientists, and graduate students participate in theoretical studies, both analytical and numerical, and in observational experiments in the laboratory and in the field. The program is supported in part by NOAA funding. AOS scientists may also be involved in GFDL research through institutional or international agreements.
For an overview of GFDL's work, see our Fact Sheet.
Research Highlights
- February 14, 2014 Changing Ocean may Challenge Atlantic Cod - This study uses climate projections from GFDL's Earth system model (ESM2.1) to force an individual-based model for the larval stages of North Atlantic Cod at each of 5 cod spawning sites across the North Atlantic. The behavioral and physiological state of thousands of cod larvae is modeled in response to ESM projected physical and biological changes. The ESM-IBM coupling provides a unique means of exploring the mechanistic response of cod larvae to climate forcing. Read more
- February 6, 2014 Solving the mystery of Hawaiian ozone changes - A potent greenhouse gas and biological irritant, ozone near the Earth surface is also a health-damaging air pollutant, regulated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Climate shifts have caused Asian ozone pollution reaching Hawaii to rise unexpectedly in autumn since mid-1990s, according to this study. The findings, published in Nature Geoscience, imply that variability in airflow patterns must be considered when attributing observed ozone changes to human-induced trends in precursor emissions. Read more
- January 28, 2014 Regular patterns in frictional resistance of ice-stream beds seen by surface data inversion - This study advances our understanding of the physical processes controlling the dynamics of ice streams - pathways for ice discharge from the interior of ice sheets to surrounding oceans - and the leading source of uncertainty in projections of global sea level rise in the 21st century. Read more
- September 18, 2013 The Extreme March-May 2012 Warm Anomaly Over the Eastern United States: Global Context and Multimodel Trend Analysis - The authors compared observations to model results, using 23 different CMIP5 models to simulate internal climate variability and the response to anthropogenic and natural forcing. The models were used to investigate the causes of the unusual warmth during March-May 2012 that occurred over the eastern U.S. The 20th century warming trend that was observed in this region is consistent with the CMIP5 multi-model ensemble results of All-Forcing runs but not consistent with model runs that did not include external forcing.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Willie Akers turns 76 years old Monday.
The Mountain State basketball legend celebrated a few days early surrounded by family and friends Friday at his Logan home.
Willie's wife, Linda, eschewed the task of placing 76 individual candles on her husband's favorite cake: chocolate on chocolate. Instead, she pushed two candles - a 7 and a 6 - into the icing.
After Linda lit the candles, Willie stood and blew them out. No wish needed. Willie's accomplishment of that seemingly simple task is all the Akers family could've asked for when they began this arduous journey Feb. 13.
Willie Akers, a four-time Logan High School state championship boys basketball coach who has a place in the West Virginia University Sports Hall of Fame, is making gradual improvements after suffering a spinal injury from a fall at the Charleston Civic Center in February.
He broke the C-6 vertebrae - in addition to a broken nose and cervical fracture - and initially had paralysis in all four limbs. He had to learn how to swallow again.
He underwent rigorous therapy at the Shepherd Center in Atlanta until May 17, when he was allowed to return to West Virginia two weeks early.
Chalk that up to Willie's competitive spirit.
"He loved to compete against other patients," Linda said. "That athleticism and competitiveness kicks in. He would usually win, too - see who could walk the farthest, stand the longest."
Willie has been home for six weeks. He goes to therapy four days a week.
"At the beginning I didn't know where I was," Willie said. "Finally, as I went through the Atlanta deal, I started getting stronger."
He has a motorized wheelchair and a manual wheelchair. Gradually, he leaned more heavily on a walker, but he has grander ambitions.
"I eventually hope to get on a cane for a little bit and then get off everything," Willie said.

By Stefanie Olsen
Staff Writer, CNET News.com
Published: January 22, 2007 4:00 AM PST
When Amy Jo Kim's son Gabriel says he wants to "watch videos," she knows he doesn't mean DVDs or television. He wants YouTube.
Gabriel, an intensely curious kid who's about to turn 8, has been fascinated by everything from skateboarding and basketball to statistics about world extremes (like the tallest building in the world). He likes to look up information about the subjects on Wikipedia with his mom and then turn to YouTube for short video clips of kids playing sports. If he hears a likeable song in a YouTube video, he might visit Apple's iTunes store to download the music, too.
Gabriel watched more TV when he was younger, but now he only likes to sit for one or two shows, like PBS' Reading Rainbow, when "he needs to chill out," his mom said.
"He finds TV boring. So during Reading Rainbow we look up stuff on Wikipedia like side commentary. But I'm driving that," said Kim, a 40-something game designer and resident of Half Moon Bay, Calif. "His interest in TV has really declined, because it's just there, you can't customize it."
Certainly, Gabriel is growing up in a computer-savvy family with parents who, as game designers, encourage use of technology. They own a TiVo, so when they do watch TV, it's time-shifted without commercials. Gabe and his dad also play on Sony's PlayStation 2--games as well as other titles like the instrument software Guitar Hero. Though Gabriel parents imposed a limit of only two hours daily in front of a screen--TV, PC or game console--he's tuned to a world where he controls media, not the other way around.
Researchers say this kind of environment, in which parents aren't afraid of or clueless about technology, is fostering a new generation of kids who are naturally adept with technology and comfortable with having virtual access to friends, family and the world at large. They have a much more global outlook at a younger age, and experts from the research firm Iconoculture say that unlike the picture of entitled teens and 20-somethings that many pundits have dubbed the Me Generation, today's kids under the age of 11 are part of what Iconoculture dubs "Generation We."
"What we're talking about is a generation that has the ability to be in touch with each other immediately at earlier and earlier ages," said Nancy Robinson, vice president and consumer strategist at Iconoculture, a Minneapolis company that tracks consumer trends for consumer giants like Nestle and Sony. "If you asked someone 10 years ago about the necessity of a cell phone for a 5-year-old, they would have laughed and walked away; now you can buy that at Target."
Think of Generation We kids as a product of Generation Xers--a demographic born roughly between the years of 1961 and 1981 whose influence over pop culture peaked in the '90s. Parents of Gen We are not only savvy about media and advertising, they're also comfortable with technology. They're taking those skills into parenting, encouraging their offspring to understand that with technology, the kids can be in control.
"Parents of Gen We's don't see technology as the enemy and don't need to moderate it as much: They see it (as a way to) help them with parenting. They see it as a bonding experience," Robinson said. "As a kind of media Sherpa, they're encouraging kids to not just absorb what media tells you, but to think about how you can change it."
She added: "There's nothing remote about control anymore."
This generation hasn't rejected TV, but the way Generation We watches the tube has evolved from their parents' days. What's been called the "Tivo-ization" of households now give kids unprecedented freedom over the handling of their TV diet, so much so that young kids often don't understand the traditional way of watching shows with a set geography and time. And now that TV shows are migrating to portable devices and are streamed on demand from the Web, the experience for kids is even more interactive and community-based.
Jonathan Steuer, a researcher at Iconoculture, has a 5-year-old daughter who recently asked to watch one of her shows while they were visiting a friend's house. Because the friends didn't own a TiVo, "I had to explain to her the show wasn't on there," he said.
"You've got a generation of kids who've had an unprecedented amount of control of their media and they're not going to give it up," Steuer said. "It does put out a challenge--for anyone in the media busines--of how to keep attention in that media."
I want my MTV mix masher
Take what MTV Networks is doing with its teen-targeted digital cable channel, The N. It produces television shows that air on cable, but its audience can stream the shows via the Web through its broadband player, The Click. On the site, kids can use a so-called video mix masher to take a scene from a show, put a comment on it and add other scene asynchronously to create their program. Part of it is what The N calls "vomenting," or adding commentary to shows via text blurbs or audio, ala Mystery Science Theater."
Dixie Feldman, an editorial director at The N, which reaches about 50 million homes, said that group's audience is increasingly turning to the Net to watch shows and bond with their peers from all over.
"On the Net, geographic boundaries disappear--a teen can watch a scene in New York, and another teen in Nebraska can watch and comment on that same scene," and they can both create something new, she said. "The Net creates that community aspect."
"Our audience is increasingly community based--it's the Me Generation (and) the We Generation. You use the community to find out who you are and play with identity, that's just as much about the We as it is about the Me," Feldman said.
To be sure, researchers say TV consumption isn't dissipating, despite long-held fears among TV producers that the Internet would eat their lunch. Vicky Rideout, a vice president at nonprofit Kaiser Family Foundation and a researcher of teen habits, said TV still dominates kids' media diet.
A 2004 study of kids age 8 to 18 showed that they spent an average of three hours a day watching TV, the same amount from five years earlier. Yet kids' time spent with other media rose over that same period, a trend evoking the idea that children today are adept at multitasking--watching YouTube videos, instant messaging friends, or listening to music while playing a game. According to the study, kids spent an average of one hour with the computer daily, nearly two hours listening to music, 50 minutes with video games and 45 minutes reading.
Still, with more control of media, it's hard to believe that kids' TV consumption, like Gabriel's, won't decline.
"Media has moved yet again and managed to reinvent itself in the family--from the hearth to the boob tube to education station to interactive experiential mode," said Iconoculture's Robinson. "It's not about being anaesthetized, it's about being engaged."
Just ask the Kims.
"Driving home we'll see a bird," Kim said, "and then go to Wikipedia (at home) and look it up. Then once we're online, he'll say, 'How about we go to YouTube?'"

Rank Railheads have an amazing 113 points and a 5-point lead over The Fugs (Epic Beardmen Division) and panthers_freak (We've Got the Runs — Baseball Reasons) in the overall standings after another impressive week. The Railheads are well ahead of the pace for Games Started, but so are their nearest competitors in RCL 40, so they may hold on to the 56 points they are currently counting from the pitching categories.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Zack McAllister
What happened to baseball? It was here, then we were put to sleep by that snoozefest they call the all-star game. Now, I don't know about you, but the all-star break is like sports hell; best option to watch was the WNBA, really. I actually started a puzzle, that's how bored I was.
Please, blog, may I have some more?As I announced yesterday after inferring things from elsewhere, it's official. Anthony Rizzo will be in tonight's lineup vs. the Mets. I'd continue to paint the walls of your brain with more praise, but I think we've heard enough. If I effuse anymore, you Rizzo owners aren't going to be able to get into your pants anymore. Let's look at reality for a second, last year he hit 1 homer and .141 in 49 games and 128 ABs. I didn't make those numbers up. I seriously just looked them up on the Al Gore-invented Internet. One homer, .141 average. That sounds downright Zimmermanian. Sure, it was in Petco (for his home games), and the only one that likes to hit there is Tony Gwynn and he's hitting the buffet. Is it totally outta the realm of possibility that Anthony falls flatso? Noppers. Right now, Rizzo might be at the height of his value. Say you have Konerko, Middlebrooks and really no room for Rizzo, except by clogging up your Utility spot. I wouldn't hold onto Rizzo waiting for his value to possibly drop out. It might take alligator blood to trade Rizzo right now, but to the bold go the fantasy spoils, or whatever that cliche is. This is not to say I think he will Triple Lindy back into Triple-A, but it's out there as a possibility. You didn't just back up into Miguel Cabrera off of waivers. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Travis Wood – 7 IP, 0 ER, 6 baserunners, 6 Ks. You know something the media hasn't covered much? What a great year it is for pitchers with double entendre last names. We haven't seen anything like this since The Big Unit tried a backdoor cutter. Wood has a K:BB 35:20 in 48 1/3 IP. That's fine for NL-Only leagues, but I'd be careful letting Wood poke around my mixed league team.
Please, blog, may I have some more?

Usain Bolt is OUT OF HIS MIND ... at least according to Bruce Jenner ... who doesn't think the Jamaican sprinter was living in reality when he called himself the greatest athlete of all time.
Jenner -- who took home the gold in the decathlon in the 1976 Olympics -- was leaving LAX this weekend when we asked him about the declaration of greatness Bolt made about himself after dominating at the Olympics last week
"He's the best sprinter," Jenner said ... adding, "He can't pole vault, he can't throw anything ... that's an athlete."
Jenner made it clear ... he believes decathletes rank the highest when deciding "most athletic" ... and when asked if Bolt would be able to compete in his sport, Bruce didn't hold back ..."He would be terrible."
Hate to agree with goofball Jenner but he is right. So Bolt can run fast, that doesn't make you a great athlete. Bolt is just trying to keep his name out there so he can make money.
While I think Jenner is a complete tool. Bolt is just as bad. After the 4x100 relay(A 4 person TEAM EVENT) Bolt didn't say crap about his team. He said "I'm the best, I won" crap like that. The guy is clearly delusional.
That's right Bruce.You can't be anybody at home so you make a statement like that.I bet Kris and her girls think different.You should stick to plastic surgery.
LOL...Shut up please....You have ONLY won 2 gold medals in your life. Now be happy for Bolt. Dude
Bolt never said he's the best athlete of all time. He said "I'm the best. I won." He said this after winning the 200 and it appeared to be in the context of sprinting, not of all athletes worldwide. TMZ has completely falsified and misrepresented what he actually said and ran with it.
Bruce takes the gold in looking like a middle aged woman!
Does he know how silly he looks? I've almost forgotten about his acomplishments because I can't get over his appearance.
I don't think Bruce would be accused of being a racist, but I will say that Bolt is self centered and seriously lacks humility. His career is over after Rio. Allyson Flelix won just as many medals and you didn't see her prancing around like a fool. Keep crashing cars and partying Bolt, you will look back on this as a fond memory when you are saying, "May I take your order please?"
Brucey is a Plastic surgery freak lap dog. He has no credibility. Go home & smack you meat.
The real story here is the use of performance enhancing drugs by so many of the track and field athletes.
Read the book by Ben Johnson's former coach to see just how bad things are in track and field and I'd be willing to bet a bundle that the entire Jamaican team is drugging and tapering prior to the olympics. It's a huge scandal and the IOC is doing nothing.

M-Wave 5-LED Bike Headlight
By Nikki
from NYC
About Me Avid Cyclist
Best Uses
Comments about M-Wave 5-LED Bike Headlight:
The light ships with Mercury/Cadmium/Plombum batteries. Instructions, recharging cable, straps, and mounts are ALL for a different model headlight. The special "charger" for Mercury Cadmium batteries is supposed to be included as per the instructions, but none is there. If you try to recharge these batteries on a NiMH or NiCd battery charger you risk them literally blowing up, causing damage to you, and ruining your charger. I can not find the Mercury Cadmium charger online in a cursory google search.Mercury is a heavy metal that is illegal to throw away in some places.So you can either invest in some more batteries that DO WORK on normal chargers ($15 to $20) or buy another light.

The following is an evolving list of privately-owned / family-owned companies who produce organic foods AND are adamantly opposed to genetic engineering / GMO ingredients. These companies continue to operate independently, which enables them to uphold solid product integrity as well as freedom in educating about GMOs.
The opposite side of this coin are organic brands owned by major food corporations. When an organic brand is controlled by a corporation, product quality can suffer, and worse, your dollars spent on these "corporate organics" all wind up back in the coffers of the corporation—most of whom don't think GMOs are a problem and/or donated money to prevent GMO labeling.
This doesn't mean corporate organics aren't organic, nor does it mean they are no longer GMO-free (provided they've been properly certified). It just means the dollars you spend on corporately-owned organic brands are helping to keep GMOs from being labeled. (Feel free to consult my longer list of all GMO-free brands, even though it includes both corporate and private-/family-owned companies.)
Family- and Independently-Owned Organic GMO-Free Brands
Here are the brands I recommend you support because they are organic + GMO free + private-/family owned. The list is by no means complete, I'm publishing what I've had time to research first-hand. Please comment and suggest new companies—as long as they are family/privately-owned, and dedicated to organic, GMO free products.
• Amy's Kitchen: canned soups, chili, beans, pasta sauce, salsas and frozen meals including Light and Lean, Gluten Free, and Light in Sodium for customers with special dietary needs.
• Annie's Homegrown / Annie's Naturals: mac-n-cheese in a box, granola bars, fruit snacks, salad dressings, BBQ sauces, mustard, pizza-in-a-box, and cheddar crackers.
• Apple and Eve: privately owned juice manufacturer with a USDA Certified Organic line of juices.
• Applegate Farms: this company is co-owned by the McDonnell family, and another family-owned company called Dietz and Watson. They maintain both a "natural" product line and an "organic" product line — deli meats, hamburgers, hot dogs, bacon, sausage and more – all of their organic products are GMO-free, and they specifically address GMOs on this page of their website. Their "natural" products are *not* organic *nor* GMO-free.
• Attune Foods: privately-owned company manufacturing USDA organic, GMO-free, and Non-GMO Project certified cereals under the brand names of Erewhon, Uncle Sam, and Skinner's.
• Bob's Red Mill: most (though not all) of their milled grains and grain products (flours, cereals, etc.) are organic and GMO-free; check your labels.
• Clif Bar: the majority of these energy / nutrition bars are not entirely organic / GMO-free (while Clif is committed to sourcing ingredients that are not genetically engineered, only 70% of the company's purchased ingredients are certified organic). However, Clif Bar just introduced a brand new USDA Certified organic line called Kit's Organic Fruit and Nut bars. Because these bars are USDA Certified, this means they are GMO free (read more about USDA labeling and organics here). Plus Clif Bar gets big kudos for donating $100,000 in support of California's GMO Labeling Proposition 37. They were founded and are still run by a husband (Gary Erickson) and wife (Kit Crawford) team.
• Core Foods: founded and still run by Corey Rennell, this not-for-profit company creates USDA Organic (which is GMO-free), fresh, whole food raw bars (which they call "meals").
• Eden Organic: the oldest independent organic food producer in the U.S. makes a wide variety of organic, GMO-free products including soy milk; whole grains and flours; dried fruit, nut, seeds and snacks; canned beans (black, kidney, navy, pinto, garbanzo and cannellini); canned chili; canned and jarred tomatoes and sauces; fruit juices, spreads and butters; condiments including soy sauce, sweeteners, oils, vinegars, spices and herbs; and a wide variety of traditional Japanese products from crackers and mochi, to miso and sea vegetables. Back in 1997, an independent test by the New York Times looking for traces of GMOs in 11 soy and corn-based products found Eden's milk to be the only product that tested clean, a finding that Eden Foods attributed to their extensive certification and testing program.
• Grindstone Bakery: 100% organic, whole grain, GMO-free bread that is wheat-free, dairy-free, yeast-free, and gluten free.
• Healthy Times: premium baby food, cereal, biscuits and snacks that are USDA certified organic, GMO-free, certified kosher, with special formulas that are wheat free, dairy free, soy free products for sensitive babies
• Late July: organic snacks including chips, saltine crackers, sandwich crackers, cookies, and sandwich cookies (think healthy Oreos!). Note: in 2007, Snyder's Lance Corporation bought a minority stake.
• Lundberg Family Farms / Wehah Farms: rice and rice-based products (cereals, chips, snack foods and more)
• Mary's Free Range Turkeys: organic, GMO-free, and free range.
• Murray's Chicken: Pennsylvania family-owned, humanely raised, Non-GMO Project certified fresh chicken.
• Nature's Legacy / VitaSpelt / Purity Foods: GMO-free pasta, granola, flours, and snacks
• Nature's Path: breakfast cereals, granolas, hot oatmeal, waffles, toaster pastries, pancake mix, and granola / snack bars.
• Nutiva: hemp, coconut, and chia "superfoods"
• Organic Valley: a full range of dairy products, eggs and some produce produced by a cooperative of (mostly) family farms. While this brand is still doing the majority of things correctly, the Cornucopia Institute has downgraded them in recent years due to a growing lack of corporate transparency.
• Pure Bar: all bars are certified GMO free; they have both a USDA Organic line, and a "made with organic ingredients" line.
• Que Pasa: tortilla chips made with GMO-free, 100% organic corn and oil
• Rudi's Bakery: 100% organic GMO-free bread, rolls and other baked goods; Rudi's is part of a small, independently owned company called Charter Baking Co., which also owns The Baker, Vermont Bread Company and Matthews All-Natural brands.
• Sambazon: fresh superfood drinks, energy drinks, frozen sorbets and smoothies, and acai supplements, "fiercely committed to Sustainability + all things Organic/Non-GMO"
• SOL Cuisine: organic, Non-GMO, Kosher, Halal, wheat-free, gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan protein products including tofu, veggie burgers, veggie dogs, veggie ribs, falafel, veggie burger dry mix, veggie crumbles and more, including soy-free options.
• SquareBar: Sarah Crawford and Andrew Gordon started these USDA organic, Non-GMO Project certified, gluten-, dairy- and soy free square-shaped bars in their San Francisco kitchen just last year. These are one of the few bars on the market that seems to meet everyone's dietary issues. If you can't find them at a store near you (their website has a handy locate map), you can buy 'em on Amazon.
• Sunshine Burger: Carol Debberman and John Hiler make USDA organic, Non-GMO Project certified, gluten free breakfast patties and veggie (or vegan) burgers (including soy-free options). Their burgers were the first in the U.S. to receive Non-GMO Project certification!
• Uncle Matt's Organic: founded in 1999 by Matt McLean, these USDA Organic (which means GMO-free) fresh fruit juices have no added fragrance or flavor packs.
• Sweet Creek Foods: organic pickles, including dills, jalapeños and beets, organic fruit spreads, organic salsas, and albacore tuna.
• Vermont Village Applesauce: this family owned Vermont company takes pride in knowing all their farmers and where their ingredients come from. Their applesauce is kettle-cooked, GMO free, gluten free, kosher, and certified by the Vermont Organic Farmers Association.
• VitaSpelt (see Nature's Legacy)
• Wegmans Grocery Stores: Wegmans is one of America's last private, family-owned grocery store chains offering both USDA Organic and their own Wegmans "Organic Food You Feel Good About" branded products. Their stores are located in New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, Massachusetts, and Virginia. Read more here and here.
Online Organic Brands
Also be sure to check out our list of "online organic" brands here >
Other Brands that Come Close:
• Beanitos: founded and still run by two brothers, these gluten-free, GMO-free chips are certified by the Non-GMO Project, but are *not* sourced from organic beans.
• Elemental Superfood: this mom-owned, California-based company manufactures "seedbars" that are "made with the highest quality ingredients that are organic and pesticide free, raw, gluten free & dairy free." A quick scan of their products page and ingredients list shows that the bars are certified as raw and gluten free, but are not certified as organic or GMO free (though the package does carry a "no GMO" graphic). View a list of all of the ingredients here to see which ones are organic and which are not.
• KIND Snacks: founded by a private individual and still controlled by a private company, KIND offers three lines of whole nut and fruit bars. I've included them in this section only because their Wiki page claims that "each KIND bar is non GMO." However let the buyer beware: it does not appear that KIND bars use organic ingredients, and there is no mention about about GMOs or organic (whether pro/con, or usage) on their website.
• Pamela's: family-owned manufacturer of baking mixes, cookies, cakes and bars that are all GMO-free; most products contain organic ingredients but none are USDA organic (GMO free).

Recipe by cook205
"I love this because I always have leftover bread and it goes to waste most of the time. The best part is that you can pull out as many pieces as you want and bake them straight from the freezer!"
Watch video tips and tricks
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 (1 pound) loaf Italian bread, cut into 1 inch slices
This surprized me that it actually worked. I had serious doubts but it was an incredible lifesaver for two reasons--I was able to salvage day old bread and make garlic bread ahead of time so that I could just throw it in the oven right as I needed it. I did up the garlic powder but other than that I kept the recipe the same. GREAT recipe.
I love this recipe because I always have left over bread. The garlic toast was mild tasting. For a little more zip add garic salt to taste.

Awesome idea that works great for later when you are short on time. It's so convenient to have it waiting in the freezer! The recipe is good but to bring it to 5 stars, double the amount of garlic.
Much better than buying it frozen from the grocery store. I've made it with garlic powder as well as with roasted garlic (recipe from this site as well). Was great both ways. :)
This recipe is so convenient and tasty! The ONLY thing I changed was the garlic powder. I crushed real garlic (about 2 Tbsp, as I ? garlic) in my mortar (which I use often for Puerto Rican recipes). Other than that, I loved it and my 4 yr old especially who is crazy about garlic bread! Thank you for the recipe! :-)

I read an interesting article recently about 'The Future of the Weight Management Industry' (ref1)
My curiosity was aroused not so much by the huge numbers quoted for those overweight/obese. Rather, I was struck by the key conclusion which really should be more widely communicated.
This message is that ultimately weight management pills and potions may be largely ineffective without simultaneously making other healthy lifestyle choices.
In fact the study authors commented...

'Use by date' technically means the last date at which a product is considered to be safe, stable, and maintain the full efficacy promised on the label under normal storage conditions. After this the product may start degrading.
Food manufacturers are often very concerned about their products becoming rancid too soon after production. As a result, they have no qualms about pumping in chemicals, preservatives and additives that will extend the use by date of the product.
Whereas most food products tend to last for anything from a day to several months, depending on a variety of factors such as preservatives, chemicals, additives and packaging... supplements like those manufactured by Xtend-Life tend to have around two-year shelf lives and are still fine to take well after their use by date, albeit with reduced efficacy.

Did you know that the influential US Dietary Advisory Committee (DGAC) currently sees no role for supplements in human nutrition? Rather they argue that Americans can get all their nutritional needs from foods and beverages. As we have expressed our opinion several times (ref 1), their view is factually incorrect, whether for Americans, or other nationalities.
Therefore, we were pleased to recently read that the Council for Responsible Nutrition (CRN) agrees with us. The CRN is a leading trade association representing dietary supplement manufacturers and ingredient suppliers globally.

In the previous blogs glycation, AGEs, excess free radicals, oxidative stress and abnormal methylation were described as key degenerative aging processes. Experts suggest that these are most likely triggered by the frenetic, toxic, nutrient poor lifestyle previously described.
These same experts also agree that another degenerative process - chronic inflammation - may be the most critical of them all… This blog explains how and why.

In our previous blogs, we suggested how aging is not a disease, but a natural part of life which can be enjoyed in vibrant health.
So how do we live vibrantly? We need to understand the causes of degenerative aging, and then prevent them.

After all the indulgences and 'sweet treats' over the festive season, have you noticed any negative effect on your libido?
If you have, you're not alone. It appears that an excessive and continual supply of sugar, especially refined sugar, may kill your sex life! This applies to both genders.
By 'high levels', consider the statistics. In North America, the average American now eats at least 22 teaspoons of added sugars per day (ref1) That is an increase of about 6% in just over three decades, says researcher Dr Miriam Vos. (ref 2)
Even worse, is that all this excess sugar, which is metabolised quickly, increases your insulin and leptin levels - as well as your waist line.

ASIN is a simple, extensible wrapper for parts of the REST-API of Amazon Product Advertising API (aka Associates Web Service aka Amazon E-Commerce Service).
For more information on the REST calls, have a look at the whole Amazon E-Commerce-API.
Have a look at the RDOC for this project, if you like browsing some docs.
The gem runs smoothly with Rails 3 and is tested against multiple rubies. See .travis.yml for details.
gem install asin
gem install httpclient # optional, see HTTPI
or in your Gemfile:
gem 'asin'
gem 'httpclient' # optional, see HTTPI
Rails style initializer (config/initializers/asin.rb):
ASIN::Configuration.configure do |config|
config.secret = 'your-secret'
config.key = 'your-key'
config.associate_tag = 'your-tag'
Have a look at ASIN::Configuration class for all the details.
ASIN is designed as a module, so you can include it into any object you like:
# require and include
require 'asin'
include ASIN::Client
# lookup an ASIN
lookup '1430218150'
# lookup multiple items by ASIN
lookup ['1430218150','1934356549']
But you can also use the instance method to get a proxy-object:
# just require
require 'asin'
# create an ASIN client
client = ASIN::Client.instance
# lookup an item with the amazon standard identification number (asin)
items = client.lookup '1430218150'
# have a look at the title of the item
=> Learn Objective-C on the Mac (Learn Series)
# search for any kind of stuff on amazon with keywords
items = search_keywords 'Learn', 'Objective-C'
=> "Learn Objective-C on the Mac (Learn Series)"
# search for any kind of stuff on amazon with custom parameters
search :Keywords => 'Learn Objective-C', :SearchIndex => :Books
=> "Learn Objective-C on the Mac (Learn Series)"
# access the internal data representation (Hashie::Mash)
=> $39.99
# search for similar items like the one you already have
items = client.similar '1430218150'
There is an additional set of methods to support AWS cart operations:
client = ASIN::Client.instance
# create a cart with an item
cart = client.create_cart({:asin => '1430218150', :quantity => 1})
=> [<#Hashie::Mash ASIN="1430218150" CartItemId="U3G241HVLLB8N6" ... >]
# get an already existing cart from a CartId and HMAC
cart = client.get_cart('176-9182855-2326919', 'KgeVCA0YJTbuN/7Ibakrk/KnHWA=')
=> false
# clear everything from the cart
cart = client.clear_cart(cart)
=> true
# add items to the cart
cart = client.add_items(cart, {:asin => '1430216263', :quantity => 2})
=> false
# update items in the cart
cart = client.update_items(cart, {:cart_item_id => cart.items.first.CartItemId, :action => :SaveForLater}, {:cart_item_id => cart.items.first.CartItemId, :quantity => 7})
=> [<#Hashie::Mash ASIN="1430218150" CartItemId="U3G241HVLLB8N6" ... >]
It's also possible to access browse nodes:
client = ASIN::Client.instance
# create a cart with an item
node = client.browse_node('163357', :ResponseGroup => :TopSellers)
=> '163357'
=> 'Comedy'
Response Configuration
ASIN is customizable in the way it returns Responses from Amazon. By default it will return SimpleItem, SimpleCart or SimpleNode instances, but you can override this behavior for using your custom Classes:
client.configure :item_type => YourItemClass
client.configure :cart_type => YourCartClass
client.configure :node_type => YourNodeClass
You can also use built-in :raw, :mash types.
ASIN uses HTTPI as a HTTP-Client adapter. See the HTTPI documentation for how to configure different clients or the logger. As a default HTTPI uses httpclient so you should add that dependency to your project:
gem 'httpclient'
ASIN uses Confiture as a Configuration gem. See the Confiture documentation for different configuration styles.

Anyone unfortunate enough to encounter a porcupine's quills knows that once they go in, they are extremely difficult to remove. Researchers at MIT and Brigham and Women's Hospital now hope to exploit the porcupine quill's unique properties to develop new types of adhesives, needles and other medical devices.
In a new study, the researchers characterized, for the first time, the forces needed for quills to enter and exit the skin. They also created artificial devices with the same mechanical features as the quills, raising the possibility of designing less-painful needles, or adhesives that can bind internal tissues more securely.

I go with 3 scoops Xtend, 3 scoops BCAAs, 2 scoops Poseidon.
Are ya looking for suggestions for a homebrew or a supp? If the latter, take a look at Universal's Intra-Aid. Per scoop, 8g of protein (PRO) from WPH, free form EAAs, 10g of carbs (CHO), plus electrolytes, beta alanine and other goodies.
Some feedback:

More Intra-Aid stuff
Some logs:
My new gym buddy... INTRA-AID! (SPONSORED)
I have a couple of favorite homebrews, in no particular order:
1serving Purple Wraath
10g BCAAs
18g Dex
18g Malto
1scoop Intra-Aid
12g Dex
12g Malto
8g Bcaa
Both are awesome and you could just use bulk EAA, BA and BCAA if you wanted (I'm actually doing something similar currently) but the brand name supps just taste so much better.
I'd drink water during workout you need an insulin spike more post workout after all your carbs-glucose- has been used in exercise.
There are studies that suggest a pre-workout and/or intra-workout insulin spike is actually better for increasing protein turnover than a post workout shake. These studies, however, did have flaws, as all do, but I would suggest giving intra-workout supplementation a try before discounting it. It has helped my performance, strength and energy levels while lifting tremendously.
Then, after your workout, you further replenish with a post-wo shake as usual.
Additionally, the amount of carbs ingested are not such that a huge insulin spike is caused - only enough to fuel and support your vigorous activity.
Good info. It depends on how much fast digesting carbs you eat. The insulin response will vary according to that. I'm not discounting the during WO shake all together, it could be beneficial- true.
ARe you talking about in the during workout shake, where you say it's not a lot? Then I believe that would be beneficial and also the electrolytes. Gatorade sucks though cuz of the HFCS which will induce the oppose effect cuz of the fructose. That's why I always tell people not to eat fruit PWO.
Could you post one of these studies I'd be interested to see it.
How do you know it was the during workout shake that hjelped so much instead of some other variable?
Yes, I am speaking of a intra- or peri-workout shake that is consumed throughout the course of the workout and diluted to a very low concentration (dissolved powder should take up only ~6%, iirc). It typically consists of easily absorped substances that take minimal to no digestion, i.e. amino acids, dextrose and it's polymers, electrolytes, etc.
Yes, gatorade is definitely sub-optimal, not only because of the fructose content in it's HFCS, but also because of it's brominated vegetable oil.
As for the study, I don't honestly remember where I read that. I will certainly look around and post what I find, but I'm just not sure if it was PubMed or something I came across at school or what. You can look for yourself too, if I don't come up with anything, just googling it ought to turn up some results.
Purple Wraath and about 30g waxy maize. I then just have a whole food meal when I get home from the gym.
Here's one study I've come across. Not the one I remember, but hey, it's something...
Not just the studies, which have been coming fast and furious lately, but also the '08 position paper by the International Society of Sport Nutrition (ISSN)--they have a great paper where they state their official position on intraworkout supplementation for lifters and it consists of PRO + CHO.
Intra-Aid, and Intrabolic are both polular, I have never used Intrabolic, but I am a big fan of Intra-Aid!
As am I. Some feedback, FYI:
I''d still say pre and intra are more important than post.... Of course, any one meal isn't going to make up for the lack of a well rounded and consistent nutritional program
Just because that study had participants exercise for two hours, doesn't mean it isn't equally applicable to shorter workouts. Certainly I would like to see more information, such as the type of exercise (so as to judge intensity). Either way, why not get some extra anabolism while your in the gym?
from The Top 10 Post Workout Nutrition Myths
by Dave Barr
One of a plethora of excuses made in an attempt to resist preworkout nutrition; this myth actually makes a lot of sense…until you become familiar with the physiology of hormones. Looking deeper, we can find that the insulin stimulated by food intake, actually enhances blood flow and subsequent nutrient delivery to muscles (Coggins et al., 2001).
Applying this principle, liquid pre workout meal consumption dramatically increases muscle blood flow and protein synthesis (Tipton et al., 2001). This elevation in muscle growth is at least twice that observed with the same drink taken post workout (Tipton et al., 2001)! In fact, this effect even lasts for an hour after the workout, so it's like having 2 drinks for the price of 1!
certainly being at-nation article, it has to be taken with a grain of salt. I realize most of them are nothing more than supplement plugs...
Recently I have been taking in 30 grams WMS and 15 grams of PeptoPro _ 10 grams BCAA during my workouts, and I must say they have been rocking. I am sure the carbs help the most as far as during the workout, but my recovery has also seemed much better.
After the workout I take a similar drink with more leucine and double the wms.
After christmas, I might expirement with upping the dosages of Pepto Pro. The first study didn't give much info into the level of hydrolysis used but assuming they used pure tri-peptides, it would take 60 grams of Pepto pro to get the equivalent...which would be mighty expensive.
But I think I could swing 30 grams per hour workout for a couple of weeks to see how I react. Maybe I'll bump up the BCAAs too. After all Charles Poliquin said you need at least 40 grams BCAAs during a workout.
Anyways, I don't see how 30g of PeptoPro + 40g BCAA + 30-60g WMS couldn't help build muscle better than some of the supps people drop so much cash on...
I used to drink purple wraath and WMS during my workouts but I like whey and dextrose post so much better. I like the idea of taking aminos during though. I can eat more when I just drink water during my workouts. This is important for an ecto like me.
I have a sealed tub of Size-On for sale in the auction section if your interested. Its a great intra-workout supplement, but causing me to break out.
Good thread! I've been using a gatorade-ish intra w/o (no HFCS) for a while and have just switched back to water. Good info here...something new to try.

Elements of Style
Last September, I wrote a post in which I cited Strunk and White's Elements of Style on omitting needless words. I was surprised to read in the comments a bit of pretty vigorous opposition to Strunk and White, though I was also secretly pleased that somebody cared enough to express disdain for the book. Still, like it or not, the book is a staple in our grammar canon. If you're the type to dive into a book like Elements of Style or to object to it on political grounds, you might be the type who would enjoy a study of the book's history. I learned from the ever-informative Brain Pickings about just such a study, entitled Stylized. I haven't read the book myself but may pick it up. If you're not familiar with Elements of Style, it might be worth picking up, as much of the advice is still often sound, even if some of it is stodgy and fussy.
You get a little vacation from actual grammar and usage tips this week, but I'll try to return next week with something a little more substantial.
I'd say "How to read a sentence" by Stanley Fish is a much kinder and more interesting read about how to write.
June 21, 2012 -
No one book will have all the rules, advice and examples, except perhaps for a government style manual, which we have here in Australia. This is a useful guide and should be read and reread over one's writing life, although I'd use several if I was just starting to write and learn grammar.
June 21, 2012 -
"Elements of Style" is such a little book but still has great weight in terms of information! It should be required in all English courses from high school onward. No doubt many find it "stodgy" or "fussy," but that's a valuable part of the book. Writers of all kinds need to understand how the language has been used in the past so that its use in the present makes sense. Long live Strunk and White! (May they rest in peace, too.)

I do enjoy leafing through Elements of Style from time to time. I have another style book, written by a former Washington Post editor, titled Lapsing into a Comma and was given yet another by a former supervisor at my old job when she found out that I wrote fiction.

To steal Malaysian Airlines Flight 370 out of midair would require a pilot who knew how to elude detection by both civilian and military radar. It would take a runway at least a mile long to land the wide-body jet, possibly in the dark, and a hangar big enough to hide it. All without being seen.

Traveling Silk Road 2009
Posted: under Silk Road, Travel hints, Travel story.
Tags: Silk Road, silk road travel, travel, traveling
This study is unusual, not on the show, but some current thinking on the emerging role of the history of silk Sarawak. I read sarankan. Here is the place:
The critical intellectual weakness of this exhibition is that in Baghdad, apparently Jalur Sutra come to premature celebrations ended. Why does not address the development of Arab media in the last voyage, had not talk, look at one of the city, passing through Baghdad and the port in Venice? By extending the history of some other century, we'll see how Sutera cause fertilization Western thought, not only with the discoveries of scientists of Islam, but also various philosophical and religious perspectives, which showed the impact of centuries. We know how strongly influenced by the Marco Polo Silk Road in the 13 century: is the enthusiasm that in the past.
This exhibition will contribute to the understanding of Western culture itself conclusive. This also helps explain why, after the delivery and release at the end of a European survey Renaisans, Silk Road land route more and more isolated business, which led to centuries of backwardness and political culture, the impact is still felt.
After my first travel through the Silk Road in 2003, I began to swallow, grosir, scholarship when I could. And one thing became clear very early that the official story of Silk Road is no closer to reality. Unfortunately it was very slow. (Now I have an extensive library – at least two hundred books and many scientific articles on the topic. And growing.) Most of the good scholarship of at least one hundred years old, or in Russian, German and French – that I could speak only one. (Scholarships, Russia also suffered from Marxist dialectics.) However, I found much truth old proverb, 'old books to read and learn something new. "Even before I read the book I thought Beckwith has changed radically against him. His book is much more beneficial to confirm my own.
However, Christopher Beck with book, which I considered just a few weeks ago, so far as the pulls. Penyerbukan between East and West far more than we think. Count only the ideas and innovations, ranging from east to west to provide a sufficient range: paper, from China via the divine right of kings of Persia, the Islamic sacred architecture motifs in Sarawak, including religious iconography circle of light, paper money, STAP – which is just a big impact in Europe. Long list. But the deepest ideas that emerged from the coastal countries of West Asia contact with large rural areas, the millennium-old dialogue between the 'other' countries, and sustainable. And then their problems are the problems that vex Indo-Europeans who emigrated from Pontus Steppe sometime around 3000 BC and brought with him a comprehensive cultural helpful literally change the world: repression horses, bicycles and cars. And spread the language form the basis of the existing languages of the Indian sub-continent, to Iran to Western Europe. And dead languages voice can be heard even in the lowlands Tarim.
Although I do not have much truck with the 'world system' theory only evidence for the idea that Sarawak can not be displayed without penyerbukan from the East is unavoidable. But the story is very complicated and sad that the flash is not talking. Too much energy spent on the study of Central Asia now focus only on the last one hundred years or more. This is only necessary to go far, far more time than that. It is also of interest, without end. For me, opening up Central Asia to Russia is much more interesting role that trade between China and adventurer steppe for hundreds of years before Christ. The Chinese, who take a lot of complex culture Indo-European horses need. What does it do? Gently examine adventurer Steppe country to feed itself its war machine. (One of the Chinese emperor for almost everything, surrounded by a crowd of winter riding in the middle of China, as he was. Incidentally, the word train in our neighborhood called China's Ordos Loop. Google it.) If it is decided to fight perantau trade. Chinese traded silk and perantau horses. Start a revolution. (And no, I do not menyepelekan.) World parents, but slightly related, forever linked to this. Silk is emerging in many markets in the West – and much more.
Kejeniusan of history textbooks Beckwith reinterpretasi as in Central Asia, but only exercise. Genius is in the issues raised. One question raised is: how is it possible that between the seventh and eighth century AD, the country of the world experience violence at the time grosir and religious revolution? As for the lack of a better turnover, in the wind? Large and new> meta-questions like these pepper the book.

Why plants are important
Plants are the backbone of all life on Earth and an essential resource for human well-being. Just think about how your everyday life depends on plants.
Everything we eat comes directly or indirectly from plants. Throughout human history, approximately 7,000 different plant species have been used as food by people.
Oxygen is brought to you by plants, as a byproduct of photosynthesis.
Plants regulate the water cycle: they help distribute and purify the planet's water. They also help move water from the soil to the atmosphere through a process called transpiration.
Of course, aside from humans' myriad uses, plants make up the backbone of all habitats. Other species of fish and wildlife also depend on plants for food and shelter.
One-quarter of all prescription drugs come directly from or are derivatives of plants. Additionally, four out of five people around the world today rely on plants for primary health care.
Read more about why plant extinction threatens the discovery of new medicine here.
Plants store carbon, and have helped keep much of the carbon dioxide produced from the burning of fossil fuels out of the atmosphere.
