Mountain Lion Brings Mobile UI to DesktopsAdded 17th Feb 2012
Apple announced OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion today, and something was immediately noticeable: it looks just like the latest version of iOS. From the notification system to iChat, it's clear that mobile is taking the lead in Apple's headquarters.
Mountain Lion is less of an upgrade to last year's OS X Lion, and more an ode to Apple iOS 5. The new iChat doesn't look like iChat, but Messaging on the iPhone. The Notification Center is straight from iOS, with the latest software and message updates in the same font and format as on the iPhone. Even GameCenter, the rough Xbox Live-style social network, will be added to Macs running Mountain Lion--and it will look exactly the same as the iOS counterpart.
So it looks like mobile is king--but can we blame Apple? The iPad, which sold 55 million units in the past two years, is still dominating. Compare this to Mac sales, which analysts believe are being cannibalized by iPads. A similar-looking user interface across Macs and iPads may encourage more iPad users to buy Macs.
Apple, of course, isn't the first company to think mobile on desktops--from the outset, Microsoft's upcoming Windows 8 has been hyped as a universal platform for both PCs and tablets. We'll know more about Windows 8 when the public beta goes live later this month, but the known details already point to a significant mobile influence:
- Touchscreen support (not yet commonplace on desktop systems)
- Windows Store (a completely app-based system)
- Metro UI (based on Windows Mobile 7)
Numbers show that Microsoft, Apple, and other companies are wise to put mobile ahead of desktop. According to the analyst firm Canalys, vendors shipped 488 million smartphones last year compared to 415 million PCs. The number doesn't include tens of millions of tablets sold by Apple and other manufacturers in 2011.

Ow my hand. xD This took longer than my usual things even though it's mostly flat coloring. Quite a few layers, surprisingly, and lots of linework details. Basically Sona in a modified Miku Hatsune outfit. If I could make skins at all, this would be the sort of thing I'd give my poor little nerfed cute mute. <3
note: original idea was to use a modified Miku Append outfit, but with her figure, Sona would quickly be falling out of such a getup. xD Great for fanservice, but I don't know how I could keep it SFW.

Griffin fantasy-relevant right away
With 12 rookies finishing the season in the top 150 on our Player Rater in 2008-09, one can see why fantasy owners would have a rooting interest in the NBA draft lottery Tuesday night. Although rookies historically haven't fared well in the fantasy realm, the 2008 NBA draft class did its best to debunk the long-standing philosophy that rookies are vastly overrated in fantasy hoops leagues. And although one draft class should not cause us to change our strategies drastically, it should make us pause and examine why so many rookies were successful in the 2008-09 fantasy season.
Last year's rookie crop was certainly talented, but was it any more talented than those in years past? That might be an argument for a different column, but at first glance it doesn't appear to be any more or less physically gifted than any of the other draft classes in recent memory. So why, then, were so many rookies able to contribute so heavily in the fantasy game? It's simple: opportunity. That's right, folks, it's all about minutes and opportunity. Of those 12 rookies who finished the season in the top 150 on our Player Rater, 10 landed in cities that desperately needed them to contribute right away. Take a look at the top rookies of 2008-09 (Player Rater rank and minutes per game in parentheses):
Brook Lopez, Nets (26th, 30.5 minutes)
O.J. Mayo, Grizzlies (38th, 38.0)
Eric Gordon, Clippers (43rd, 34.3)
Mario Chalmers, Heat (57th, 32.0)
Derrick Rose, Bulls (59th, 37.0)
Marc Gasol, Grizzlies (65th, 30.7)
Russell Westbrook, Thunder (82nd, 32.5)
Rudy Fernandez, Trail Blazers (115th, 25.6)
Kevin Love, Timberwolves (122nd, 25.3)
D.J. Augustin, Bobcats (129th, 26.5)
Michael Beasley, Heat (137th, 24.8)
Jason Thompson, Kings (140th, 28.1)
It's not too hard to spot the trend. The top seven rookies in 2008-09 saw at least 30 minutes of action per game. The rest (aside from Beasley, and he was close) earned at least 25 minutes per game for their respective teams. Now, I don't want to take anything away from these players and their talents, but many of these rookies landed in situations where it was hard for their teams not to give them ample playing time.
Take Lopez, for instance. He's a terrific player and turned a lot of heads (including mine) with his solid play this past season, but he also didn't have much competition for playing time, with only Josh Boone and Sean Williams pushing him for minutes at center in the Nets' frontcourt. The same can be said for Mayo and Gordon. Both are dynamic offensive stars, but there's no way they would have been as productive if they hadn't been playing for teams that had such limited offensive options as the Grizzlies and Clippers.
With that said, don't get too sucked into the hype and speculation that undoubtedly is headed our way leading up to the NBA draft. Of course, we'll be inundated with keywords and phrases such as "upside," "length," "NBA-ready," "basketball IQ" and "wingspan," but we, as fantasy owners, need to measure both talent and opportunity to gain a realistic outlook on a rookie's fantasy prospects. With that said, let's take a quick look at the fantasy prospects in the 2009 NBA draft class:
Blake Griffin, PF: Griffin is as close to a can't-miss prospect as there is in this draft. He has the body and athleticism to step in and contribute right away, and he undoubtedly will earn ample playing time for the Clippers (that's assuming they do the right thing and draft him with the first overall pick) despite the presence of Zach Randolph at his position. As a fantasy player, Griffin figures to be a double-double threat right from the start, and a realistic projection could see him averaging 14-15 points and 8-10 rebounds per game as a rookie. Griffin, however, really needs to commit himself on the defensive end if he's going to become the fantasy star we all hope he can be. He averaged only 1.1 steals and 1.2 blocks per game at Oklahoma last season, and it remains to be seen whether he can carry those averages over to the NBA. Don't expect too much on the defensive side as a rookie, but be sure to watch his defensive progression closely as we lead into the season. He also shot less than 60 percent from the free throw line in both his seasons in Norman.
Ricky Rubio, PG: What Rubio lacks in physical gifts, he more than makes up for with his high basketball IQ and crafty style of play. Seeing him in Beijing this past summer, it was hard not to come away impressed with his maturity and leadership at such a young age. There is no doubt that he has all the skills needed to become a great NBA point, but how will those skills translate to the fantasy game? In the future, he figures to be a big-time assist man with the ability to create plenty of steals (thanks to his knack for getting in the passing lanes). But rookie point guards tend to struggle with the speed and pace of the NBA, and Rubio undoubtedly will go through some growing pains in his first season. In a best-case fantasy scenario, Rubio will fall to the Sacramento Kings at No. 4 and be able to earn ample minutes at the point in his first season as a pro. But most are expecting that he'll be gone by then, and he might not have the same opportunities for immediate minutes if he's selected by the Memphis Grizzlies or Oklahoma City Thunder. Rubio could find some decent playing time in Oklahoma City if the Thunder decide to move Russell Westbrook to the 2-guard, but fantasy owners should proceed with caution depending on where he lands in June.
Hasheem Thabeet, C: From the moment he's drafted, Thabeet will immediately become one of the league's most dynamic shot-blockers. There is no doubt that he is ready to step into the NBA and dominate the paint on the defensive end, but he'll have a lot of work to do on the offensive side before he can become a complete fantasy player. Still, Thabeet is in a good spot here. He'll be drafted either by the Grizzlies at No. 2 or the Thunder at the No. 3 spot, and he should be able to earn quality minutes right from the start if either scenario plays out. That means we should be able to rely on him for solid rebounding numbers and about 2-3 blocks per game as a rookie.
James Harden, SG: Although he doesn't possess the physical gifts some of his counterparts in this draft do, Harden is a natural scorer who finds ways to get himself to the basket and the free throw line. I'm willing to overlook his athletic misgivings and forgive his poor play in the NCAA tournament simply because this kid is a smart player and an NBA-ready talent. As a fantasy player, Harden has plenty of potential. He'll be mostly a scorer with 3-point range, but should also help in steals and post above-average numbers in rebounds and assists for a shooting guard. And the best part is that he should be able to contribute right away if he lands in a favorable situation.
Jordan Hill, PF: Hill gets high marks for his athleticism and energy on the court, but his ability is still fairly raw and he might need a year or two to realize his full potential. If Hill has any fantasy value this season, it will be mostly on the defensive end, on the boards and in the shot-blocking department. His offensive game needs a lot of work before he'll become a consistent threat, so temper your expectations for the rookie on the offensive side.
DeMar DeRozan, SG: DeRozan already has the scouts drooling about his athleticism and NBA-ready body, but at 19 years old, he has a lot of maturing to do before he'll be ready to contribute in the fantasy game. The future looks bright for DeRozan, particularly as a scorer, but let's not overrate the youngster for the upcoming season based on his future upside.
Tyreke Evans, SG: Evans needs to work on his jumper and shot selection, but there's a lot fantasy owners should like about the 19-year-old thanks to an incredible 6-foot-11 wingspan that will aid in creating steals and even blocking some shots from the guard position. Evans could turn into a nice sleeper if he falls to a team that can use him right away. Just be sure to keep in mind that he could be a drain on the field goal percentage category because of the aforementioned shot selection problems.
Stephen Curry, PG/SG: Curry will be a polarizing player in the fantasy game, as some are convinced that his skills will translate well in the NBA while others are not sold because of his lack of size and strength. Look, we all know Curry can score and hit the 3, but we'll have to see more of him against NBA talent to know whether size will be an issue for him at the next level. That's why we'll be paying close attention to his progression in the summer leagues. Curry could very well end up being one of the more productive rookies in this class if he ends up in New York because he seems like a great fit for Mike D'Antoni's offense.
Eric Maynor, PG: Sleeper alert. Maynor flew under the radar for much of the college season at Virginia Commonwealth, but he has all the tools to step into the NBA and contribute right away. He's known as a big-time scorer, but also has the ability to spread the ball around and hand out assists. Maynor's most redeeming fantasy quality is his ability to create steals at a high rate. With 1.7 steals per game at VCU, Maynor could become one of the league's top ball hawks.
Jonny Flynn, PG: Flynn doesn't get nearly enough love in pre-draft projections, and he could end up being the steal of the draft if he falls out of the top 10 on draft day. His fantasy value will depend largely on where he lands, but Flynn certainly has the potential to be an immediate contributor in the NBA. He will need to work on his long-distance shooting to become a complete fantasy player, but Flynn has the talent to be a major force in points, assists and steals if he can earn consistent minutes in his rookie season.

Brooks Heritage Chariot - Women's
Originally born in 1982, the legendary Brooks Chariot was one of the most worn running shoes by runners in the eighties. Brooks' rejuvenated award-winner features many of the same tech qualities pioneered during the decade. A diagonal rollbar for pronation control, molded tri-layer insole for cushioning, solid rubber outsole for shot, reflective hits for visibility – this shoe blew legwarmers out of the water.
Please note: The Chariot pays tribute to its original design, but this modern refresh is not a performance running shoe. As everyday kicks, you may wish to choose a half size smaller than your Brooks running shoes.

Mommy Wellness: Diastasis Recti
Mommy Wellness: Diastasis Recti
If you ever stopped to think about what a mama-to-be's midsection goes through during pregnancy, you'd be amazed. Stretching to house something the size of a watermelon and then returning to its original state is no easy feat. While some of us bare stretch marks, others are forced to deal with more serious matters, like diastasis recti, or what is commonly referred to as a "mummy tummy." Women with this condition often refer to themselves as looking three to six months pregnant at any given time.
According to A.D.A.M.:
Diastasis recti is a separation between the left and right side of the rectus abdominis muscle, which covers the front surface of the belly area. In pregnant women, increased tension on the abdominal wall may lead to diastasis recti. Multiple births or repeated pregnancies increase the risk. A diastasis recti looks like a ridge, which runs down the middle of the belly area. It stretches from the bottom of the breastbone to the belly button, and increases with muscle straining. Diastasis recti is commonly seen in women who have multiple pregnancies, because the muscles have been stretched many times. Extra skin and soft tissue in the front of the abdominal wall may be the only signs of this condition in early pregnancy. In the later part of pregnancy, the top of the pregnant uterus is often seen bulging out of the abdominal wall. An outline of parts of the unborn baby may be seen in some severe cases.
While there are a number of postpartum abdominal exercises recommended for women suffering from the condition, often the only permanent solution is surgical repair following a woman's final pregnancy.
Did you experience diastasis recti and what (if anything) did you do to resolve the issue?

The continued ooey-gooey goodness of TV's best family drama is particularly satisfying tonight, spotlighting story lines from the underutilized Joel (Sam Jaeger) and the oddly interesting Crosby (Dax Shepard).

Dear "Obsessed",
When I first saw your promotional trailer, I scoffed. Big time. I wasn't even shy about it – in fact, I announced to all around me (one person) that this movie is obviously straight-to-DVD quality and it only made it to the big screen through the power of Michael Knowles. I was certain it would bomb at the box office. Wellsir, I WAS WRONG.
Obsessed opened this weekend and took the top spot with almost $30 million. Whether it be through the successes of obsessive marketing (the poster is EVERYWHERE), or Beyonce's star power, the flick managed to pull off something unforeseen. And so, dear you, I eat my words.**
**I still stand by my opinion that it looks like a straight-to-DVD release.
Did you see Obsessed? What did you think? Apparently Idris and Ali Larter are quite good and Bey is a little stiff.

Photos and Description of this 2 bedroom holiday condo in Akumal - Akumal Treasure Ocean Condo
2BR Oceanfront Vacation Rental Akumal, Mexico
This condominium building is in one of the most beautiful parts of the Mexican Caribbean. For the traveler, it conveniently sits on the ocean between Akumal Bay and Half Moon Bay - both just a short walk away. Special features include a two layer infinity swimming pool and gorgeous landscaping above the Caribbean. This is paradise! While prices and amenities here are for a typical 2 bedroom condo, we also host a 3BR penthouse and 1BR rentals are available in many seasons. Akumal is a charming, small, quiet resort that is centrally located to all the natural wonders that the Riviera Maya has to offer. Nearby restaurants and amenities are plentiful; yet the property is situated in such a way that it is very secluded and private. We have our 2 bedroom unit listed here, which is spacious and bright, with dramatic views of the Caribbean from all the main rooms.
The decor is in tropical bright Mexican colors. And with the infinity pool, it makes the perfect choice for a family or friends, or just the two of you. The building is perfect for entertaining, especially for small groups.
This property is tucked away between Akumal and Half Moon Bay, and although just steps away from either, is private and quiet. It is heaven on the Caribbean!
These are some of the nicest condos in the Akumal area, yet semi secluded and priced very reasonably.
Enjoy paradise here!

We left Boldt castle and headed north across the border back into Canada. We found a nice campground, Grenville Park Campground, right along the St. Lawrence river. We shared it with some other humans and hundreds of geese and thousands of seagulls. The bad news is that there are frost warnings for the night. Fall is coming way too soon for us. ...

Product description
With more than 225,000 copies sold, "When Helping Hurts" is a paradigm-forming contemporary classic on the subject of poverty alleviation and ministry to those in need. Emphasizing the poverty of both heart and society, this book exposes the need that every person has and how it can be filled. The reader is brought to understand that poverty is much more than simply a lack of financial or material resources and that it takes much more than donations and handouts to solve the problem of poverty.While this book exposes past and current development efforts that churches have engaged in which unintentionally undermine the people they're trying to help, its central point is to provide proven strategies that challenge Christians to help the poor empower themselves. Focusing on both North American and Majority World contexts, "When Helping Hurts" catalyzes the idea that sustainable change for people living in poverty comes not from the outside-in, but from the inside-out.

Good Intentions Are Not EnoughUnleashing and equipping people to effectively help the poor requires repentance and the realization of our own brokenness. "When Helping Hurts" articulates a biblically based framework concerning the root causes of poverty and its alleviation.A path forward is found, not through providing resources "to" the poor, but by walking "with" them in humble relationships.Whether you're involved in short-term missions or the long-term empowerment of the poor, this book helps teach you three key areas: - Foundational Concepts"Who are the poor?"- Principles"Should we do relief, rehabilitation, or development?"- Strategies"How can we help people effectively here and abroad?"

The following commentary does not necessarily reflect the views of AgWeb or Farm Journal Media. The opinions expressed below are the author's own.
A closer look at how dairies are using sustainable practices that are not only economically viable but based on science, common sense and respect for the world around them.
Source: Dairy CARES
Art Van Beek was one of the first dairy farmers in California to voluntarily have his farm evaluated according to the guidelines of the National Dairy FARM Program: Farmers Assuring Responsible Management.
"The process is thorough. It's something we can learn from and it's the right thing to do," said Van Beek, who operates his family dairy in Tipton, Calif. "We want to show – instead of tell – people that we're raising and caring for animals according to a set of responsible and scientific standards."
FARM includes a comprehensive set of animal care guidelines developed by veterinarians, animal scientists and dairy farmers. Individual dairy farms in the program are evaluated, in-person, by a certified evaluator according to the program's guidelines. Initial on-farm evaluations are followed by a third-party program verification process where independent experts are used to verify results.
With the adoption of FARM in 2010, the California dairy community took a huge leap forward to begin the process of assuring customers and consumers that animals on today's farms are cared for and treated responsibly.
"It's nothing short of impressive," said Dr. Terry Lehenbauer, a veterinarian and director of the UC Davis Veterinary Medicine Teaching & Research Center in Tulare. "A comprehensive plan for providing education and conducting on-farm evaluations was put forth, and in just three short years tremendous progress has been made."
Since its adoption, Dairy Cares coalition members have conducted more than 1,000 evaluations on dairy farms throughout California, about two-thirds of the state's total dairy farms.
"At the outset, the goal was to evaluate one-third of the dairy farms in the state in the first year," said Dr. Michael Payne, a UC Davis veterinarian and director of the California Dairy Quality Assurance Program. "The dairy community not only met that goal, they exceeded it. It's a testament to the value they place on caring for their animals properly."
With many dairy farms evaluated, and more scheduled in the coming months, Dairy Cares members will move into the next phase of FARM Program implementation — continued education and improvement.
"We're committed to getting better and doing what's right and FARM helps us communicate to the public, in a verifiable, statistical manner, the care we provide our animals daily," said Van Beek. "We want folks to know that responsible animal care is an important part of our heritage, as well as our future."
Dairy CARES works to ensure the long-term sustainability of California's farming families through strong environmental stewardship, responsible animal care, and adherence to the core values of honesty, ethics, diligence, and community. Learn more here. http://dairycares.com/
"Water is as important as the ground we stand on, for everything and everyone around here, as far as you can see and farther – our farms, our towns, our entire way of life," says California dairy farmer Tom Barcellos, who milks 800 cows and raises corn and alfalfa on the same farm where he was born 57 years ago, near Porterville in Tulare County.
"I do what I can to protect the water we have and use it responsibly, not only because it's the right thing to do, it also makes economic sense," Barcellos says. "Everyone in this valley deserves clean drinking water, and all of us are responsible for working together to make sure that we have it. We inherited this valley and its water resources from the previous generations, and the responsibilities and challenges that come with that. I take those responsibilities very seriously. I want to do my part to make sure we can be proud of what we pass on to my grandkids and their neighbors and communities."
Connecting past and future is not theoretical for Barcellos, a third-generation dairy farmer. His father, Tony, still lives on the farm, while his seven-year-old grandson, Kadin, has already taken to helping out around the dairy (just one of the five grandchildren for Tom Barcellos and his wife of 37 years, Felomena).
Besides implementing careful water protection measures on his own dairy, Barcellos takes time off the farm to serve on the board of directors of his irrigation district and to lead a non-profit coalition of dairy farmers in a regional groundwater quality monitoring effort.
While Barcellos' commitment to and knowledge of water issues is impressive, he is not alone. Water protection efforts on dairies across California have grown by leaps and bounds:
Managing nature's fertilizer—manure
California dairy cows produce nutritious milk for millions of consumers, and manure is a natural by-product. Farmers put it to good use, recycling it as a natural fertilizer and soil builder.
Like commercial fertilizers, manure must be carefully managed and California dairy farmers are leading the way. In 2007, the Central Valley became the first region of the U.S. where all dairies use nutrient management plans, which are designed to protect groundwater. Farmers routinely test manure, plant tissues, and soil and irrigation water to assure safe application, maximum efficiency and groundwater protection.
Continuous push for improvement. Dairy farmers across California continue to push for further innovation, trying new methods and equipment to improve their manure management and water quality protection. Ray Gene Veldhuis is exploring improved water management technology at his dairy near Winton, Calif.
"We've been making our farm available for testing of different water treatment technologies that will allow us to use our manure and water even more efficiently, and perhaps also create renewable energy. That would be a win-win," Veldhuis says. "We haven't got it all figured out yet, but we are trying to look ahead."
Dairy associations are also working hard to help dairy farmers move forward. Western United Dairymen assists its members in identifying and applying for grant programs for on-farm projects that generate environmental benefits and improve management. The association recently completed testing new technology that helps better evaluate performance of manure water storage ponds on dairies.
"California dairy farmers have always been innovators and they are eager for cost-effective management options," says Michael Marsh, the association's CEO. "We are working to make sure they get the help and support they need."

Larry Castelanelli continues to be a leader in sustainable energy production, operating one of the longest-running dairy biogas digesters in California.
"In 2003, we decided to make our black-and-white Holsteins green," said Castelanelli who manages his family's 1,600-cow dairy in Lodi. "Cows have been producing milk on this farm since the 1920s. Now they're closing in on a decade of producing clean, renewable energy."
Castelanelli's green energy production begins with a recycling process common on California dairies. Clean water is first used to cool milk tanks and wash cows. Then it's recycled to clean manure from barn floors. This wash water is then stored in a retention pond until it can be reused as a natural fertilizer for crops such as corn and alfalfa.
Castelanelli made the investment to cover his pond with a thick plastic sheet, strong enough to walk upon. This captures biogas produced from the natural breakdown or "digestion" of the manure during storage. The biogas, mostly methane, is then used to power an engine capable of producing 300 kilowatts of power.
"We generate enough power to meet the complete energy needs of the dairy," Castelanelli says. "When we're producing more power than we can use, we sell the excess to the utility company. At times, as much as two-thirds of our cow power leaves the farm."
Castelanelli sees his investment as a "win-win" situation. Not only is he reducing greenhouse gas emissions from the farm, he's also offsetting his use of fossil fuel-generated energy, further reducing the release of heat-trapping gases.
With one of about a dozen dairy digester projects in the state, Castelanelli is hopeful more dairy farmers will be able to implement improved digester technologies on their farms, thereby adding clean, green, renewable energy to the list of products dairy farmers produce for our state and the nation.
"The potential for green energy generation by dairy farmers in this state is tremendous," he says. "You could say I'm bullish about the future of cow power."

Roughly 2,100 tanker loads of milk leave California family dairy farms every day and make their way to food processing plants throughout the state. Ruan Transportation, a commercial food-grade hauling company, moves much of that milk safely, efficiently and sustainably.
"Ruan is responsible for transporting about 30% of the milk produced in our state," says Jim Mulvenna, senior vice president and general manager of Ruan's Dairy and Bulk Food Transport Division. "It's no secret that dairy families have made great advancements in sustainability on the farm. But what folks may not know is that their commitment to sustainability extends beyond the farm gate and we're proud of the contributions we're making to improve the overall sustainability footprint of the dairy community."
Ruan has a long and successful history of developing environmentally friendly technologies and practices. This includes an updated fleet of longer-lasting, lower-emitting trucks designed to reduce greenhouse gases and air pollution.
Key to Ruan's sustainability success is the principle of achieving more with less. Today, Ruan hauls nearly 10 percent more milk with 261,700 fewer gallons of fuel than it did in 2009.
"Improved efficiency in transporting milk directly translates to reducing carbon from the air," Mulvenna says. "Fewer trucks on the road and fewer miles traveled by those trucks mean we burn less fossil-based fuel."
Dedicated to improvement, Ruan isn't resting on its laurels.
As co-chair of the Innovation Center for U.S. Dairy's FLEET-SMART project, Ruan is helping to develop dairy-specific transportation guidelines. These are designed to further reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 165,000 metric tons annually, potentially saving 16.5 million gallons of diesel fuel each year.
Ruan continues to do its part for the environment, including investing in research and development of alternative fuels for their trucks, such as compressed natural gas and biodiesel.
"With sustainable innovations constantly emerging, the future is exciting," says Mulvenna. "Some of our trucks already run on compressed natural gas and soon, trucks will run on cow biogas generated on the same farms where we pick-up milk."

With countless liner options on the market – each one making unique performance and length-of-life claims – it's important that producers understand the true value and cost of the liners they choose.
Outside of the liner performance discussion, a common misperception in the market is that most liners have similar lengths of life. This, however, is not true. When comparing costs per milking on liners of varying life, the shorter-life liner will sometimes actually be more expensive than a longer-life liner. The longer-life liner might appear more expensive from a billing perspective because you're paying more when you buy, but remember, you're paying less often. With this in mind, it is important for producers to calculate the costs per milking on inflations and compare the options. Use this formula to help determine the liner cost per milking:
When I visit dairies, producers often ask me about liner life and material compounds. Many have commented: "Aren't all compounds the same?" or "I buy (brand X) because they use natural rubber or silicone, and that is best, right?"
Let's consider some facts and historical data on liner compounds, which are constant no matter who manufacturers them. A variety of compounds are blended to become what you see as a finished product on your farms. Making a rubber compound is very similar to baking a cake. Add too much or too little of one ingredient and your liner might be too stiff or soft, or not able to withstand chemicals.
For decades, natural rubber was the most popular liner material since the invention of the "modern" milking machine in the early 1900s. As dairy herd sizes grew, producers demanded longer-life products. This shift ushered in a host of new liner options to help producers reduce liner changes – which, according to most, are about as fun as getting a tooth pulled! As a result, synthetic rubbers are now the main components in many liners known to be "rubber." In fact, it is virtually impossible to go beyond 800-1,000 milkings per liner when using 100% natural rubber.
Synthetic rubbers have become the new age material most commonly found in liners. This material offers longer service intervals as well as other benefits to dairy producers. Many manufacturers offer "extended-life rubber" products, which traditionally milk slower as compared to their "standard-life" counterparts. However, there are liners on the market today which claim to show no difference in milking performance between standard life and extended life inflations, including silicone. Although silicone offers an extended life, producers often experience cutting and butterfat migrations issues, which can actually shorten liner life and affect performance.
Other components sometimes used in liners are FDA-approved phthalate plasticizers, which are used to "soften" the rubber compound. However, be aware that phthalates are suspected to be a carcinogen. They are linked with some instances of breast cancer and may affect hormone levels in young children. As a result, some manufacturers have decided to eliminate phthalates from their rubber compounds in an effort to be more socially responsible. If this is concerning, ask your route driver if the liners you are using contain phthalates, and if they do, perhaps your specialist can recommend a phthalate-free liner.
In conclusion, knowing your true costs per milking and understanding the value in the rubber formulations of the liners used on your dairy can play a vital role in your profitability as well as the social responsibility of the products you produce.

With little more than hope for a better future, Manuel Rodriguez Monteiro immigrated to the United States in 1916 at the age of 15. By 1930, he had saved enough of his wages from milking cows to buy 25 of his own cows. If he could only see his grandsons' dairy today.
"I know he'd be proud," says Mike Monteiro, who with his brother Manuel, operates Lakeside Dairy south of Hanford, Calif. "He probably wouldn't believe his eyes either."
That's because the Monteiro brothers have expanded the farm beyond the traditional raising of animals and growing of corn, wheat and alfalfa to include the harvesting of a new crop – energy.
"We're constantly looking for ways to be sustainable," Mike says. "When it came to energy sustainability, we just looked to the sky."
In 2011, Novato, Calif.-based SPG Solar completed work on an 891-kilowatt solar power system on the west side of the family dairy farm, where 3,240 ground-mounted solar panels track the sun each day as it moves across the Central Valley sky.
"We'll generate over 1.7-megawatt hours a year," says Manuel Monteiro. "That's enough to offset 75 percent of our dairy's utility power usage, which is a tremendous savings for us and the planet."
On sunny days, the solar harvest is so good that the dairy's energy meter actually runs backwards, feeding energy generated on the farm into the power company's grid for use by other customers.
The Monteiros' solar project reduces their reliance on electricity produced from fossil fuels so much that it's estimated the project will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by more than 1,100 tons each year – the equivalent of removing 238 cars from the roadway.
Mike Monteiro is optimistic other dairies will be powering up via sunshine soon: "Dairy farmers have always been innovators, looking to the future for new tools to improve the quality of care for their cows and the environment. With solar power as a viable option, we're living in the future today."

Stewardship, conservation and sustainability are a way of life at Triple A Farms, a 300-cow dairy in Bentonville, Ark.
Owned and operated by Ryan and Susan Anglin, Tripe A Farms has worked with the Innovation Center for U.S. Dairy® to do more with less on the fourth-generation dairy.
"Like our parents before us, we understand the importance of change and flexibility in agriculture," say Ryan and Susan. "For us, conservation of natural resources and being good stewards of the land and animals, which we oversee, is a way of life. Moreover, it is fundamental to the economic survival and success of our dairy operation.
The farm includes sons Casey and Cody and eight full-time employees. The dairy consists of a Holstein/Ayrshire herd and a commercial pasture-based beef grazing operation. The dairy herd annually produces about 4 million pounds of milk in the double-eight herringbone parlor where cows are milked twice daily. The farm produces feed crops, which include corn silage, sorghum and Bermuda grass and fescue for hay.
Due to their close proximity to urban neighbors, the Anglins carefully weigh community perception against every farm management practice.
"Everything we do to return to the land adds value and, hopefully, productivity to our farm and the quality of products to consumers," Ryan and Susan say. "It is this philosophy that has helped to keep us in dairy farming during the past decade of unprecedented urban growth, rising input costs and changing weather conditions."
Here's a look at how the Anglins are making a sustainable difference on their dairy:
Energy. As part of the Anglins' ongoing mission to operate as sustainably as possible, they conducted a farm energy audit in 2012 with the help of the Innovation Center for U.S. Dairy and its partners EnSave, Inc. and USDA Natural Resources and Conservation Services.
The audit generated a plan to identify potential areas for saving energy use and improving long-term efficiency and profitability. One suggestion was to replace the compressor in the milk parlor with a plate cooler for better milk cooling and 15% to 25% savings over conventional compressors (with a nine-year payback on investment).
Milk is quickly cooled from the cow's normal body temperature of 101.5 F to less than 36 F. A plate cooler works like a car radiator. Milk is cooled with well water before it reaches the tank to provide quick cooling and ensure milk quality while saving electricity. By 2013, the Anglins were able to install the plate cooler and saw immediate results – not only in efficiency but the farm's carbon footprint. The change saved more than 26,000 kWh in electricity and reduced the farm's greenhouse gas emissions by an estimated 12,800 lb. in CO2 – six tons less CO2 annually.
Conservation Tillage. The Anglins use conservation tillage practices that minimize soil loss and optimize fuel use and tractor and equipment "pass overs" on the land. They have adopted a new cropping practice in an effort to replace corn and corn silage. Wheat is planted in the fall and chopped as silage in May. Immediately after spreading manure, sorghum is planted into the wheat stubble with minimal disturbance of the soil. To optimize water, soil and nutrient retention, the fields always have growing plants or residue on the surface.
Nutrient Management. Applying manure on crops – the amount and the time – is carefully matched and measured to crop uptakes and soil tests. This system allows the Anglins to optimize the use of manure and greatly decreases the use of synthetic fertilizers.
Farm Smart™. In 2012, Triple A Farms worked with the Innovation Center for U.S. Dairy to participate in the Walton Foundation's Water Study. The Anglins pre-tested the concept of Farm Smart, a web-based tool being developed by the Innovation Center. Triple A Farms has joined other producers and stakeholders across the dairy supply chain to review the first draft of the Stewardship and Sustainability Guide for U.S. Dairy, a voluntary framework for tracking and communicating progress.
"By using Farm Smart to estimate our environmental footprint, we can annually benchmark progress from year to year," the Anglins say. "This helps us to set goals for continuous improvement."
Giving Back to the Community. The Anglins are highly involved in soil, water and wildlife conservation (preservation of land, water and natural resources) while ensuring that all livestock are healthy and well-cared for. But stewardship and sustainability go beyond their farm. It's also about giving back to the local community and the broader food and agricultural industry. Ryan serves as a director on the board of his milk marketing cooperative, Dairy Farmers of America. He's also former chairman of the National Dairy Promotion and Research Board. Susan volunteers her time to promote dairy health and nutrition in schools and at farm tour and community events. Active in social media, she also hosts a blog to educate consumers about dairy farming and optimizing resources for the future.
Future of Our Dairy. While dairying is its passion, the Anglin family faces certain change. The dairy sits across the street from a 1,200-unit housing development. That's forced the Anglins to anticipate relocating or dramatically altering their business. Therefore, all improvements must be sustainable and have a five- to six-year payback.
With urban encroachment at an all-time high in their area, the Anglins understand that the local economy will continue to serve as a primary driver for the decisions they make on their dairy farm.
"We look at cause and effect or cost and income – that is the bottom line," says Ryan. "Where we are sitting, our decisions are affected by far different circumstances than producers just 15 miles west of us. Putting up a building may not be the thing to do, but improvements for taking care of livestock, soil or (farm) structures make sense."
