Reviews for Corn Dog Muffins
Sort By :
"I used a can of creamed corn instead of the whole kernel corn. Took someone else's suggestion and baked in a 13x9 at 400. Took about 30 minutes. Thought it was just a little bit too sweet, but other than that it was a hit. (Of course the kids did not think it was too sweet!)"
"My sons loved these...."
"This recipe was easy and delicious! We made them to try in preparation for the kids to come home, but ate them all before they could try even try one! Will try them again with tofu dogs for our vegetarian family members."
"Took about two seconds to prepare and tasted so good. Kind of sweet, but I like that. I didn't leave mine in the oven long enough though, but I couldn't wait to try them! Next time I'll try the whole 18 minutes. Love this recipe."
"This is such a great recipe. So easy and simple for little helpers to chop up the hot dogs with a plastic knife, too! I think they taste best if you bake, then let cool, bag and refrigerate overnight, then reheat. The flavors meld nicely and give an excellent flavor!"

Attached photo of Sprocket (as Yoda) who is s 2 year old boxer mix and Ratchet (as Darth Vader) who is a 2 1/2 year old boxer. The inspiration was that Sprocket has a funny little face and quirky ears, so we usually call her Yoda ---and with any good Yoda, you need the big guy (87 lbs) Ratchet to be Darth! :)

These tires are known for their durability and best known for their puncture resistive qualities. I'm currently using them for Winter training rides.

I use these for training and commuting to work. Very durable and reliable. A bit on the heavy side for racing but I suppose it can be used if you don't want to get a more race specific tire. I travel rough roads so keep the PSI @ 90-92 for a 200 lb rider. I ride them till they're squared and the cord shows and only recall 1 flat on my last pair. I'll keep buying them based on my experiences.

These gatorskins are very good tires, very durable

Our group rides distance, (road bikes on asphalt roads) in supported and not supported rides. Flats previously were a problem. Most of our riders have now switched over to Gatorskins, based on good experience by a few. I ride 5-6000 mi per yr, with 0-1 flats per yr. Gatorskins even successfully defeat the local Southern California scourge, "goat heads". When you feel one going thump as it goes around, just stop and pull it out and usually you're still good to go. As a side benefit, they wear well. I usually change them after a year, because I'm getting nervous, not because they are bare. They weigh slightly more, but for our use, well worth the additional grams.

Buy these in 25s. Run them at 90 psi until you wear the tread down so there are ridges. Replace them. I have done this for about 6 years and tens of thousands of miles and have had two (2) flat tires with these.

I run Gatorskins on all my road bikes, including my tandem, all year round. I don't recall ever getting a flat during the summer months, and during winter only get flats after a couple thousand miles. My 40 km commute takes me over gravel roads, chip seal, heavily potholed asphalt in an industrial area, bike trails, and 'regular' city roads. I live in Seattle, so the roads are wet much of the time, but I rarely skid on heavy braking with these tires I don't race, so I'm not as concerned with weight or high-speed cornering, and can't compare them to racing tires. But for putting on lots and lots and lots of miles (like commuting or training) they are perfect for riding if you don't like fixing flats. The only issue I have with Gatorskins is that the thickened rubber on the center track tends to collect and hide tiny sharp rocks and glass. I just quickly check the tires every evening and pick out the debris with a small screwdriver. I do ride lots of miles, and love the reliability and cost-effectiveness of the Gatorskins. Note: PBK often offers the best price in the world that I've found, although they are not reliable in terms of having the size I need, when I need it. For example, as I write this review they only have 700x23s in stock. So, I purchase more than I need and keep some spares on hand.

excellent tire for all seasons but her in the US a great winter tire
4 December 2013 by ed
I bought a set for a friend, and she has had no flats, despite lots of debris in our bike lanes. I highly recommend if flat protection is what you seek.
3 December 2013 by Neil
What can I say? I've put 5K miles on these tires in two seasons and I haven't had a single flat and they're just now getting to the point where I'm thinking about replacing them. Solid all-around tire, just fine in rain (I ride even during heavy downpours) and considering the PBK price, a really great deal to boot. A little more difficult to change than some other folding clinchers, but it makes your hands tougher. Just be sure to use the right, specifically sized tubes and not a catch-all size to prevent pinch flats. Not the fastest, lightest tire out there but totally suitable for recreational riders and commuting.
3 December 2013 by cubman
Have had then for 400 mile now and no problems. They roll great, are very tough. Well worth the money.
12 October 2013 by Spardy
Everything they say about the gator skin is true. It's a tough, reliable wheel. Service from pro bike kit was nice. I ordered these from the States and everything arrived in a timely manner!
23 September 2013 by kevman
I've been riding a set of these for 9 months, at least 3 times a week, on rough chip seal roads. The front is still really good and the rear hasn't yet worn through the wear indicators, which is a great feature of this tire. I'm 200 lbs so quite a bit of pressure ends up on my rear tire. Not the lightest, but pretty good considering its toughness, and the ride is quite acceptable as well. I experimented with a lot of tires, and have really come to appreciate the durability and flat resistance of these. You won't be disappointed.

The Continental Gatorskin Clincher Road Tyre are such nice riding tires. I tried the Hardshells but it was too uncomfortable of a ride. These are great riding tough tires at a great price.

The Continental Gatorskin Clincher Road Tyre arrived.... eventually (shipping to USA) and has been wonderful! I have had fewer punctures/flats, I guess you can buy peace of mind.

Great training tire. Almost 5,000 miles on a rear tire before the belt started to show. Still got a few flats, but it was one every couple of weeks instead of a couple every week.
17 June 2013 by ElHardeen
2500 miles on my rear 700 x 25mm gator skin with no flats. The rear tire was getting worn so I replaced it before a series of big rides just to make sure but there were still plenty of miles left on it I think. The front tire still looks great. The foldables are pretty light too considering the extra protection. First purchase from PBK. Went well. Minneapolis MN USA

The Continental Gatorskin Clincher Road Tyre is a great all round tyre. They give you pretty solid, flat protection while still managing to give you good rolling resistance. If you're not looking for a pure race tyre, I would recommend these.

Tillman on Bears not re-signing Urlacher: 'It's a cut-throat business'
BY MARK POTASH email@example.com April 23, 2013 10:00PM
CHICAGO, IL- OCTOBER 22: Charles Tillman #33 of the Chicago Bears reacts after the Bears recovered a fumble against the Detroit Lions in the third quarter on October 22, 2012 at Soldier Field in Chicago, Illinois. (Photo by David Banks/Getty Images)
Updated: April 24, 2013 11:27AM
As was clearly evident Tuesday at Halas Hall, neither cornerback Charles Tillman nor defensive end Julius Peppers is comfortable in the spotlight — on the field, off the field and especially behind a podium in a suit and tie giving an acceptance speech.
But the Bears stars might want to get used to being the focus of attention. It's a new world at Halas Hall.
With Brian Urlacher around, Tillman and Peppers were complementary leaders on the Bears' defense — Pro Bowl players who could lead mostly by example. Urlacher was the ''face of the franchise'' in public and the unquestioned leader of the team in the locker room.
But with Urlacher all but certainly gone after not being re-signed in free agency, the core of the Bears' defense has a void to fill.
''I wish he was here,'' Tillman said after accepting his third Brian Piccolo Award on Tuesday at Halas Hall. ''But it's a cutthroat business. You saw Peyton Manning got cut. We didn't re-sign Brian. No one is safe on a team forever. I don't care how many Piccolo Awards you win.''
So who fills the void? Lance Briggs, a seven-time Pro Bowl player at weak-side linebacker, is the next man up. Henry Melton, a first-time Pro Bowl player at defensive tackle last season, has the personality for it, but he has some growing up to do.
As a rookie last year, defensive end Shea McClellin said his job was to ''just keep my mouth shut and do what they say — and that's what I did.'' He's not going to break out of his shell overnight, if ever. Safety Chris Conte has leadership qualities but needs to take the next step on the field to be a player teammates look to.
Defensive lineman Israel Idonije, a quiet but effective leader on and off the field, is in a holding pattern — unsigned but still a possibility. That leaves Tillman and Peppers as likely candidates to step to the fore.
''I think the leadership, that's the foundation,'' said Tillman, who is beginning his 11th season with the Bears. ''Myself, Pep, Lance — and I'm speaking defensively now — I think we're . . . the cornerstones to try to get this defense to outdo what we did last year.''
In accepting his Piccolo Award, Tillman thanked not only position coach Jon Hoke, but former defensive coordinator Rod Marinelli and former coach Lovie Smith for ''pushing me to my maximum capacity.'' On a team so clearly identified by its defense, the absence of Marinelli and Smith also emphasizes the leadership void. For now, it's the players who will lead the way.
''So far, it's been going good,'' Tillman said. ''For sure, it's different. But it's still going good, though. No quarrels. No bad blood. It's business. It's a cutthroat business. But that's just how it goes.''
Peppers, who made his eighth Pro Bowl last season at 32, is the most accomplished and respected player on the defense. But he's counting on the team to fill the leadership void.
''It's always important [for leaders to emerge in a transition],'' Peppers said. ''We never want to place that responsibility on one person or just a few guys. We like to spread it out so a lot of guys can help because we need everybody to be leaders.''

Senior Vice President/Regional Director, Wealth Management, Wells Fargo Private Bank
Launching the wealth management group at Wells Fargo Chicago in 2007, Chip Flannagan grew his team from 5 to 90 in just six years. What caught TCW's attention is the fact that half the executives are women. "Having two daughters, 11 and 13, has sensitized me to the issues that face professional women," shares Mr. Flannagan. "As a male leader I'm not going to pretend to know what all of the important issues are, so when 20 Wells Fargo women executives asked to create a professional women's committee to address women's issues, I said, 'Absolutely.'"
Through the women's initiative, Mr. Flannagan wants to demonstrate that Wells Fargo is committed to having a diverse workforce and providing ample opportunities. "Reading Sheryl Sandberg's Lean In was another eye-opener for me," he says. "Now more than ever, I'm proactive in looking for women that have the talent and ability to be in more powerful positions but, for whatever reason, haven't raised their hands or 'leaned in.' For me personally, I want to go that extra mile to level the playing field and provide a forum for professional women."
When it comes to wealth management, Mr. Flannagan was once quoted stating, "Chicago would be a high growth wealth management market in years to come." That was five years ago, and Mr. Flannagan still stands by that statement. "Think about how competitive the wealth management industry is here in Chicago. There are a number of high-end wealth providers, so there's a lot of competition. But at the same time there's a lot of opportunity here. To come in here from a complete start-up, compete against these other big names and not only build a business but grow it as big as we have is proof we were right in our bet years ago that this was going to be a high growth market for Wells Fargo."
And in Chicago, Mr. Flannagan is seeing more and more women coming to Wells Fargo to manage their wealth. "We're getting more opportunities to work with high net worth/ultra high net worth female executives and business owners," he says. "And I think that, from my chair, I know there are differences between men and women when it comes to wealth management. But as I've said, I'm not going to pretend to know all the important issues facing women in business, and that's where the women's initiative comes in. We have the opportunity to address money management from a woman's perspective, and that's what I want this group to do. I am willing to play an active role in this committee, but I can also sit back and learn from these women."

However, the National Organic Program received test results from only 13 certifiers in 2011, indicating tests were done at less than 1% of the 30,000 operations certified as organic that year. Six of the 13 reporting certifiers in 2011 were based outside the U.S. where tests are mandatory. According to the NOP, there are 112 certifiers recognized by the USDA to audit growers in the U.S. and other countries.
"The final rule expands the amount of residue testing … by clarifying that sampling and testing are required on a regular basis," the notice states. "This action will help further ensure the integrity of products produced and handled under the NOP regulations."
Based on submitted comments, the NOP officials decided to allow tests conducted for causative reasons to count toward the 5% minimum. All test results must be kept by certifiers for at least three years and must be available for public review.
However, the revised rule eliminates the requirement to report all test results. Effective Jan. 1, only results that "are in violation of (Environmental Protection Agency) or FDA requirements must be reported to the appropriate state health agency or foreign equivalent."
The periodic testing is not limited to finished products. The revised rule states tests can be done on soil, water, waste, seeds, plant tissue and processed product samples.
Certifiers have the flexibility to test for a range of prohibited and excluded methods, including, but not limited to, pesticides, hormones, antibiotics, and genetically modified organisms. Certifiers that handle 30 or less operations in a year are required to do periodic residue testing on at least one of the operations.

The negative publicity that a former Wal-Mart Stores Inc. executive cast on the chain's out of stock problems don't speak to the chain's actual performance, one key Wal-Mart produce executive said in mid-April.
Jerry Murray, a vice president of finance and logistics, had called Wal-Mart's February sales a "disaster" in an e-mail obtained and reported by Bloomberg. Murray left the company April 5 amid speculation that out-of-stock issues complicated by thin staffing were contributing to recent unimpressive sales growth.
Saying that he believes Wal-Mart's produce quality and in-stock performance is "better than it has ever been," Dorn Wenninger, vice president of produce at Wal-Mart, Bentonville, Ark., provided e-mail responses April 16 to questions about out-of-stock perceptions at Wal-Mart.
The chain is making gains in the produce side of its business by focusing on getting better prices, better quality and better availability to customers, he said.
"Wal-Mart's on-shelf availability across the store is at historically high levels, with 97% of our stores having an On-Shelf Availability score of more than 90%," Wenninger said.
Bruce Peterson, president of Peterson Insights Inc., Fayetteville, Ark., said there's a number of stories surfacing about Wal-Mart's stocking problems in recent months. However, he said that may not be an accurate reflection of reality. Peterson, former senior vice president of perishables for Wal-Mart, left the chain in 2007 after 15 years with the company.
"What I find interesting about all this is that at least from a numerical standpoint, Wal-Mart is feeling pretty good about their in-stock, yet these articles are surfacing say their in-stock isn't as good," he said. "Where is the disconnect? Why would that be?"
Victim of scale
One reason, Peterson said, that may contribute to the disconnect is that Wal-Mart is the victim of scale, with 25% of their stores outstanding, 25% not so good and 50% of the stores average. With thousands of stores instead of dozens of stores, the chain's weak links are exposed over a greater geographic area that is more likely to attract attention, Peterson said.
"If you have 4,000 stores, there are 1,000 stores that may be having some issues," he said.
Now Wal-Mart is in almost every city, not just small town America, Peterson said.

Startup News: Etsy Goes Shopping for a Twee App Maker and Dwolla Goes to the Gov
Shopping Site Goes Shopping Back in 2011, Khoi Vinh, the former design director for The New York Times's website, attempted to launch an iPad collage maker called Mixel that even Taylor Swift would love. The interface was kind of clunky, and the company soon pivoted to a smoother iPhone product, which became fairly successful. And now Mixel has been acquired by the custom product giant Etsy.
No, you won't be creating any collages of your twee collectables any time soon. According to AllThingsD, The Mixel team is being acquired for its stellar mobile talents. Mr. Vinh and his cofounder Scott Ostler, along with employees Akiva Leffert and Roy Stanfield, will all make the move to Etsy's Brooklyn offices. Mixel will be shutting down the social side of its app, but will leave up its collage-making tool. In an email to Betabeat, Etsy CTO Kellan Elliot-McCrea explains, "We expect our mobile traffic to surpass desktop traffic by the end of 2014." Read More

Nicole Montesano - Climate change affects Oregon
Loss of snowpack, altered growing season, rising sea levels, more extreme weather, extended droughts are expected
Nov 16, 2012 | 54 Comments

Of the News-Register
The worst drought in more than half a century, continuing in many parts of the country, is expected to raise national average food prices 4 percent this fall. Ironically, it has largely been pushed off the front pages by yet another manifestation of the climate change phenomenon, Hurricane Sandy.
As the planet continues its inexorable warming — September ended 16 consecutive months of above-average temperatures in the lower 48, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration — the words "climate change" are heard more often. Recently, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg cited it as a key reason he endorsed President Obama for re-election.
"Our climate is changing," Bloomberg wrote. "And while the increase in extreme weather we have experienced in New York City and around the world may or may not be the result of it, the risk that it may be — given the devastation it is wreaking — should be enough to compel all elected leaders to take immediate action."
In Oregon, climate change is having an impact and can be expected to have more, according to climatologist Kathy Dello, associate director of the Oregon Climate Change Institute. She said increasing temperatures have affected plant distribution and snowpack levels, and impacts are clearly on the increase.
Sea levels already have risen. On the Oregon coast, wave heights increased, causing erosion that threatens buildings.
Plant distribution, Dello said, may dramatically impact agriculture. For example, pinot noir grapes that do well in the Willamette Valley's narrow temperature range may not thrive here in the future.
"As the climate warms," Dello said, "we may need to think about ... planting other crops."
Climate models, she said, predict warmer, drier summers and wetter winters. But with farming, recreational sports and domestic water supplies all dependent on snow falling at mid-level elevations, even a small increase in temperature can have big effects.
"A lot of the snow now falls very close to 32 degrees," Dello noted. Warm it just a little, and experts predict the snowpack that traditionally supplies summer water will diminish substantially.
"We've used the snowpack as a natural reservoir throughout history, and have come to rely on that snow melting down in the summer when we don't have rain," Dello said.
A focus group at Oregon State University is examining the likely results of a much smaller snowpack, anticipating a future of water scarcity, she said. "When we talk about climate impacts of the future, water quickly rises to the top of many lists."
In 2010, OSU put out a press release noting, "A major increase in maximum ocean wave heights off the Pacific Northwest in recent decades has forced scientists to re-evaluate how high a '100-year event' might be, and the new findings raise special concerns for flooding, coastal erosion and structural damage."
In the release, researchers said:
"The highest waves may be as much as 46 feet, up from estimates of only 33 feet that were made as recently as 1996, a 40 percent increase. December and January are the months such waves are most likely to occur, although summer waves are also significantly higher.
"In a study just published online in the journal Coastal Engineering, scientists from Oregon … report that the cause of these dramatically higher waves is not completely certain, but 'likely due to Earth's changing climate.'"
It also warned, "Hundred-year event wave heights could actually exceed 55 feet."
In June, the National Research Council announced that it believes sea levels along the West Coast will rise 19 inches over the next 40 years.
Globally, sea levels rose about seven inches during the 20th century. And that increase is actually accelerating, according to the National Research Council. Melting glaciers increase the amount of sea water in liquid form, and ocean water expands as it warms, the council noted.
At the end of September, about 52 percent of the United States was in moderate to extreme drought, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
"On a broad scale, the 1980s and 1990s were characterized by unusual wetness with short periods of extensive droughts, the 1930s and 1950s were characterized by prolonged periods of extensive droughts with little wetness, and the first decade of the 2000s saw extensive drought and extensive wetness," the NOAA State of the Climate Drought report noted. Examples are the East Coast flooding caused by Hurricane Irene and the central Willamette Valley flooding last January.
A warming climate is associated with more extreme weather, and that's what we are experiencing.

Climate change: What we can do
According to climate scientists, the United States must make some drastic changes to reduce emissions to slow or stop a rapid warming of the Earth's atmosphere that could, unchecked, prove catastrophic.
Expensive changes — like adding more insulation to the attic — are important aspects in cutting emissions. They can make a big difference, long-term, by decreasing heat loss.
But a lot of small behavioral changes also can make a remarkably big difference. Many of them save money, even after purchasing items like low-flow showerheads and drying racks.
Some emissions-reducing actions are listed below.
- Buy less. Not purchasing items means no packaging, no manufacturing, no shipping, and, as an added bonus, less clutter at home.
- Stop using the clothes dryer. According to the Clean Air Trust, clothes dryers use more energy than any home appliance except refrigerators. Drying racks can be set up in the living room or a corner of a bedroom, or clotheslines may be strung in the garage. On dry days, hang items outdoors. Combining a couple of drying racks inside and a line in the garage can make a big difference. Use clotheslines for larger items, such as sheets, that are harder to fit on a drying rack. Clothing may be put on hangers and hung from a line or one side of a rack to create more drying space, as long as they are far enough apart to allow for air circulation.
- Combine errands, use public transportation or bicycles, and carpool whenever possible, thereby putting fewer cars on the road.
- Use less hot water. Install a low-flow shower head, take shorter showers, wash laundry in cold or warm water, reduce the temperature on the hot water heater by 10 or 20 degrees, insulate the water heater. When purchasing a new water heater, consider going tankless. According to the National Park Service's page on reducing greenhouse gas emissions at home, tankless water heaters cost about $800 more than conventional ones but reduce electricity bills by about $20 a month. Install a solar water heater if you can afford it.
- If possible, turn off items with lights or display clocks that use electricity continuously, or plug them into a power strip that can be turned off. Turn electronics off, rather than leaving them in stand-by mode or running when not in use. According to the Clean Air Trust, "Lights and appliances consume about 7,800 kilowatt-hours of electricity in the average western home and account for about 22 percent of household emissions, excluding automobile emissions."
- Turn the heat down in winter and the air conditioner up in summer, by a few degrees. Wear more layers of clothing, for warmth. To keep cool in summer, put feet in a shallow pan of cold water or use a handkerchief or towel wrung out in cold water, wrapped around the back of the neck. Keep a pitcher of cold water in the refrigerator for cold drinks that don't require running the faucet.

A New Paradigm;
Not a one of my trees is planted anywhere near a septic line, and I am quite sure that my father would have appreciated my thinking ...(no pun intended)... that far a head.
GREAT article, thanks for sharing. I sincerely hope lots of folks take the time to study it.
"So the true treasures of the world were sacrificed for what?"
The appropriate people to pose that question to, would be those that had originally benefited from their falling.
Ask them---->www.mdvaden.com/redwood_fieldbrook_stump.shtml
No doubt, no matter how hard you'd try, you would..or..would've had a hard time getting through to them, taking into consideration the technology of the day, of course.
Can things be reversed over time...well...if there is enough will, there is a way.
Ask them---->www.ancienttreearchive.org
On this coming December 4th of 2012, their goal, is to begin the restoration of an old growth forest with exact genetic duplicates from the largest known trees to exist on this planet.
The chosen site for this new endeavor is the Port Orford, Oregon, community stewardship area, and I doff my sombrero to them.
Purchased at only 40 cents a piece allowed me to plant (on my budget) 100 of them. Wish I could be around to see them 200 years from now, wouldn't that be nice.
The total yield over the time of the life of an acer of trees, is not equivalant to the total yield and product of hemp in the same square footage.
I know room is requiered for growth. I understand that the harvesting of trees was requiered for the new frontier. Why go sky high with the harvesting in area uninhabited by man? There were other alternatives... It's my opinion that If global warming is going on, What I am saying is a HUGE reason why.
Whats done is done. It's not to late to undo the damage. Or is it?
I never said the trees that I'd planted were destined to be harvested..or..processed.
My highest hope is that they'll be allowed to remain, live on, and grow for thousands of years.
Humans are responsible (according to most experts) for about 3.5% of the CO2 in the atmosphere. Human CO2 emissions trail -- volcanos, forest fires, ocean respiration, animals (other than human), and decaying plants. And since CO2 makes up less than .4% (less than 1/2 of 1%) of the total atmosphere, man's portion is quite small by comparison. But man is the only CO2 factor that can be controlled to some extent. Do you see the pattern?
And then there is one climate event that seems to get ignored ( intentionally, I suspect), that as late as 1850, the Earth was enveloped in The Little Ice Age. It doesn't take a genius to predict a warming trend to follow. And those involved in promoting the 'crisis agenda' certainly are not.
Actually, Don, it was explained, at least it was to all of us 6th graders attending Whisman Elementary School, back in 1965.
For me, the most disturbing aspect of discussions about global warming is that your perspective is the one that dominates mainstream thinking in this country -- the premise that human beings can continue living on the treadmill of economic growth in perpetuity. And that if only enough of us installed low-flow shower heads, turned down their thermostats and bought less stuff, we can keep the machine of global industrial capitalism going forever. We can't, because infinite growth on a planet of finite resources is by definition impossible.
This also is not a topic of discussion, but it needs to be.
I've grown tired of wearing the same old same old worn out pair of Chinese Fighting Slippers, and I'm ready and eager for some change in the climate around here.
You wrote, "For me, the most disturbing aspect of discussions about global warming is that your perspective is the one that dominates mainstream thinking in this country -- the premise that human beings can continue living on the treadmill of economic growth in perpetuity."
How you came to that conclusion from my submission, no clue.
However, almost 99% of the mass of the human body is made up of the six elements oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium, and phosphorus. Of course the combination of hydrogen and oxygen form water. 18.5 % of the human mass is carbon.
But there is no substituting carbon. The combination of the 6 elements give life to all things on Earth, and carbon is essential.
The point I was making is declaring CO2 a pollutant (by the EPA) makes zero sense since both elements, carbon and oxygen, are key ingredients to all life on Earth.
And plants do much better when there is abundant CO2 available. Healthy plants take in more CO2, convert it to more energy and respirate more oxygen. How could that be anything but a healthier life, for all living things?
Exactly! So, some in our government and it's tentacle branches want us to forget basic science, tried and proven science, and blindly follow along. After all, naming humans as a cause (for climate change) is much less troublesome than going after the real violators (of CO2 emissions) -- volcanoes, forest fires, ocean evaporation, decaying plant life, (Mother Nature's contributions) -- kinda' hard to control any of those bad boys, wouldn't you say?
I read your points. I'm trying to wrap my mind around that for the last 250 years ish, the world has had an extensive make over from the human hand. I can not help but think that the effects from it are negligible. The cerchunk of the industrial age to the poulation increase and so on. The world has never had to compensate for x amount of motorized vehichles... Help me with this. I would have to say there is far less timber in the world now, rather then 500 years ago. The CO2 ppms are on the rise. Aulstraila dumps enough affluent water into the ocean each year to fill the Sydney Harbor. China's practices are less then desirable. If were all carbon based, Just the population increase alone is enough to effect the CO2 levels. The rise in ppms is having an effect on the world... Are we talking about CO2 being a palutant, or if is it in fact having an impact...
David, I'm feeln ya...
Michael. Please watch this video. It has a referance to the digestion of effluent water. It's a short video. If anybody else wants to watch, feel free.
I read the report you sighted. Very cool....
You get enough people to believe in something, it becomes the truth. Madison Avenue is very good at that, so is Hollywood and our own government educational system.
To believe that man has any ability to control the weather beyond the confines of his Tee-pee is an incredible notion to be sure.
Approximately 1000 years ago, the Earth was in a warming trend. The southern region of Greenland was being farmed. Grapes were being grown in England. The Earth was warmer than today, by 2 - 4 degrees. The health of the population was far better than that of those who endured the Little Ice Age (plague, famine, etc.) 400 years later. These statements are recorded history, from personal reports of the time to the study of ice core, tree rings and ocean sediment.
Taken as fact, how could the Earth be warmer when there were fewer humans, fewer animals, and zero SUVs? The Vikings weren't chasing around the seas in jet sleds and troop carriers. No airplanes, no long haul truckers, no trains, no tractors, no factories -- nothing but humans, animals, and Mother Nature.
Apparently man did not influence the Medieval Warm Period with his CO2, nor did he have anything to do with the LIA. And yet the Earth's temp changed 5 - 6 degrees between the two cycles. That raises a question or two, no?
Additionally, the study of CO2 reveals that as temperatures rise, so do CO2 levels -- an average of 800 years later. Under those circumstances, we might be experiencing the remnants of the MWP rather than yesterday's emissions. Or the small rise in temps is just the Earth recovering from the LIA, naturally.
In my opinion, the proof that man's paltry CO2 contribution isn't warming anything is in the history of the Earth itself and it's various cycles. But how do you cap a volcano or squelch a lightening-caused wild fire? Both make man's CO2 appear insignificant. The answer is you don't, it's part of the natural cycle of this Earth. So blame man, the only contributor that can be controlled.
You are correct about the 'belief system'.
And I'll never forget Al Gore stating, 'The debate is over, the science is settled". First of all, science is never settled, and exactly when and where did this debate take place. Al certainly wasn't involved. Are we to take his word? -- didn't think so.
No doubt in my mind anyway, that Mr Gore has attempted to fashion himself up as some kinda modern day Moses.
Your concept is clear -- too many people, not enough natural resources.
With that concept as reference, are you saying that humans should lower or raise the atmospheric levels of CO2 (as if man could do either)?
And if there are too many people, what is your solution?
The Global Carbon Cycle
Why It's Important
Atmospheric carbon dioxide comes from a variety of sources, some of them natural, but increasingly from human activities. Carbon dioxide and other gases (together, known as "greenhouse" gases) in the atmosphere absorb radiation emitted from the Earth, trapping heat in the atmosphere and contributing to the warming of Earth's atmosphere. Although a greenhouse also works by trapping energy from the sun, the physical processes are different.
In the geological history of the Earth, carbon has been cycling among large reservoirs in the land (including plants and fossil fuels), oceans, and the atmosphere. This natural cycling of CO2 usually takes millions of years to move large amounts from one system to another. Now we are looking at these changes occurring in centuries or even decades.
Since the Industrial Revolution in the 19th century, carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has risen by 30 percent. This follows the increase in burning of fossil fuels that began with the rise of industry and transportation.
If every person is not on board it is next to impossible to see any reward, yet the impact is always seen in my pocket book. We need to make changing over a bit more appealing for those who care and spend the extra dollars to do so. Call it the cognitive behavioral approach. A checklist of sorts that if you meet, you could reduce x amount of dollars off your grocery bill, gas bill, or other major staple. A person could be elected for each county that comes to a persons home and checks if they are in compliance, if they are, they are issued a card to use at the various stores or stations and are given a discount.
My husband has continued to work for the same place for several years now with no raise, yet we have seen our electric, water, sewer, trash, DSL, and grocery bills continue to rise, as well as gas. He was just forced in to getting new vision insurance because his insurance stopped providing it costing us more, but did they reduce his monthly charge? No, they increased it as well as his co-pays. He makes the same when he started, yet brings home less each year because of these costs, which leaves us less and less to pay for things like a roof and food.
With a program that rewards those who are trying to make an impact you would put a bit of money back into the pockets of those who continue to lessen the burden on Earth.
Where should this money come from? You could start here: http://www.thefiscaltimes.com/Articles/2011/07/13/10-Insanely-Overpaid-Public-Employees.aspx#page1
Fletch -- Greenhouse gases? 95% of that gas is water vapor.
The global carbon cycle? Without it, we perish. And over 96% of the atmospheric CO2 is from natural sources. And carbon is present (and necessary) in all living organisms.
You wrote, "Since the Industrial Revolution in the 19th century, carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has risen by 30 percent. This follows the increase in burning of fossil fuels that began with the rise of industry and transportation."
So how does that correlate to a warming Earth? In my opinion, it doesn't. For example: Take the high and low temperatures for each continent (since records have been recorded) -- nearly every all-time high occurred before the all-time record low. Most recordings began in the mid to late 1800s.
Another anomaly to the industrial revolution and warming correlation -- as CO2 levels have risen, the temperatures have not. From 1880 - 1910 there was a cooling trend, 1910 - 1940 a warming trend, 1940 - 1970 cooling, 1970 - 2000 warming. Check the temps in the 1930s. It seems Mother Nature's pattern does not support the claim that man's CO2 warms the Earth.
Finally, track the cycles of the Sun. When the Sun is active (solar storms), solar winds blast the Earth. The winds disperse the cosmic rays that help protect the Earth's atmosphere, hence warmer temps. When the Sun is inactive, solar winds die and the temps are lower. Now compare the Sun's activity to the swings in temps. You will find a definite correlation. But our so-called profits cannot do anything about the Sun either, so humans get thrown under the bus.
The effects of ethanol are mostly negative. Ethanol uses more energy to produce than it can save as fuel. Mileage in ethanol burning vehicles is reduced by approx. 10%. Ethanol damages some parts of the internal combustion engine, resulting in costly repairs. And the demand to alter food crops for ethanol production raises the price of many corn-based products. Do you realize how many foods on the grocery shelves contain some form of corn by-products?
And yet our state government has mandated Oregonians to use a costly, inferior gasoline additive that has the opposite effect that was intended. Some members of the state legislature were surprised to hear these facts -- after they voted to implement the program, of course. That's the genius of the fools we elect!
Man in conjunction with Mother Nature.
I wonder if Holland shares your sentiments Don? How about 80% of the worlds population could see a rise in their water table of 1 to 2 meters if this ice cap decides to relocate.
There are machines that can harvest the carbon out of the atmosphere and turn it into pure carbon dioxide which can be used to actovate bio fuels such as alge and hydrogen. The Perfect fuel.
Bottom line is water tables are on the rise and it is going to devistate the world as we know it.
"Great masses of ice have been replaced by moraines of earth and stones, the report continued, while at many points well known glaciers have entirely disappeared. Very few seals and no white fish are found in the eastern Arctic, while vast shoals of herring and smelts, which have never before ventured so far north, are being encountered in the old seal fishing grounds."
Sounds rather alarming -- until one discovers this report was from Nov. 1922.
So Googling floods of Holland, there seems to be none for that time period -- but the Dutch women did gain the right to vote.
Don, did you catch that article a few days back about a new construction method being used over in China, for very rapid construction of very large buildings that snap together like Lego's and stand up to earthquakes better than conventionaL constructed?
Personally, I think we should relocate our cities. Any thoughts?
2012: Time for Change
Directed by ... Joao G. Amorim
at the end of the day, my guts say sell low by high...
The problems in order are
1) uncontrolled population growth combined with
2) irresponsible use of natural resources will eventually produce a
3) damaged Earth not capable to recharge.
At the end of the LIA (1800 - 1850), the Sun's activity increased and the Earth has been slowly warming since. Again, there was no spike in CO2, yet warming occurred.
CO2 is approx. just less than .04 % of the total atmosphere. Man's total is 3% of that. If you had 10,000 marbles (total atmosphere), less than 4 of those would represent CO2. Man would be represented by a sliver of one marble. Somehow, by representation, man's small portion would appear insignificant when compared to other contributors, wouldn't you say?
And the EPA naming CO2 a pollutant? A vital, necessary component of all life on Earth, and we are to believe it's bad for us? Sorry, but just saying it doesn't make it so. How about we just deprive those who fabricated this scheme of CO2 and see how that works out? If all the rats die, then we would have scientific proof that CO2 is necessary. If the rats live, they were right. Just in case, we should start ordering materials for those little coffins!
I might as well argue that 60,000 micro-grams is an insignificant t amount of weight when compared to the body of a full-grown man, but if we're talking about 60,000 micro-grams of arsenic and I ingest it, I will die. The mass of metal that one finds in a single bullet is also pretty small when compared with a human body, but if you fire the bullet into someone's brain, what is the likely outcome? I think we would both agree that, 10 minutes is a just a sliver in the life of a 25-year-old, but if that 25-year-old spends the ten minutes at the bottom of a swimming pool without a tank of oxygen, he will drown.
350 parts per million (which is, as you say, a very small percentage of the whole) is what the scientific community believes is the safe upper limit for CO2 in our atmosphere. In 2010, the burning of fossil fuels (and other industrial activity) pumped more than 33 giga-tonnes into the atmosphere, which as of October, stood at more than 391 parts per million of CO2.
That amount of CO2 has a tangible effect. It's important. It matters.
Yes, CO2 does matter -- to all living organisms. And there is no replacement -- no generic equivalent. And yet there are those that wish to 'limit' atmospheric CO2. But why? It's not a poison, nor a pollutant. No one has died from an 'overdose' of CO2. According to recent measurements CO2 has less influence on the 'warming' than we have been lead to believe (emphasis on 'lead').
The RSS satellite global temperature measurements indicate that the 1997-98 Super El Niño started from the low of April 1997. From that point, and all the way through July 2012, the global atmosphere has cooled - a total of 184 months. This cooling trend took place during a significant increase of atmospheric CO2 levels.
This slight cooling trend is opposite of what the IPCC (and NASA's James Hansen) predicted for global temperatures.
The IPCC prediction of rapid global warming is based on the hypothesis that human CO2 emissions would increase atmospheric CO2 greenhouse gas levels; the increase of greenhouse gases would allow more radiated heat to be retained; the retained heat would warm the atmosphere; and, the atmosphere would then warm the world's oceans and land surfaces. Such predicted warming would set in motion a "runaway tipping point" that would produce catastrophic climate disasters and a doomsday for civilization.
So Mother Nature turns down the thermostat and makes fools of all the dipsticks that have been shouting for so long -- oddly, about as long as the latest cooling trend!
The 'scientific community' to which you refer believes many things -- this particular belief that CO2 causes warming seems to be quite a distance from reality, if actual facts are implemented.
1) Just because a substance isn't inherently harmful does not mean it isn't a pollutant. Quantity is also a factor. To quote the Natural Resources Defense Council, "[a] pollutant is a substance that causes harm when present in excessive amounts."
2) Lacking the citation of a particular study, it's difficult to respond other than to say that even if it's true that CO2 has less influence on climate than previously thought, it obviously and indisputably does have an influence. Those who continue denying this will soon find that they have as much credibility as tobacco industry "experts" who insist that the jury's still out on whether smoking causes lung cancer.
3) The (false) claim about cooling since 1997-98 was first circulated in 2006 by conservative media outlets; it has been debunked. I won't bother with the details of how a few carefully selected numbers were manipulated to "create our own reality," as Karl Rove famously declared many years ago (and unsuccessfully attempted on live television Election Night). That's been done by others and may be found online easily enough. I simply refer you to any credible scientific organization for accurate long-term global climate data. NASA, for example.
There's a book at the McMinnville Public Library by Clive Hamilton called "Requiem for a Species: Why We Resist the Truth about Climate Change." It's "about the frailties of the human species as expressed in both the institutions we built and the psychological dispositions that have led us on the path of self-destruction ... our hubris, and our penchant for avoiding the facts." This, by the way, speaks directly to my point about people believing capitalism can last forever.
You should read it.
So NASA is your source? And NASA's chief, James Hansen, has admitted to 'adjusting and recalculating' numbers that suddenly support his theories and predictions. How convenient!
You state that 'humans have a penchant for avoiding facts'. And yet the following 'facts' do not support CO2 as a driver of warmer global temps.
Fact: The cycles of the Earth have created warmer and cooler temps than we are presently experiencing. The melting of glaciers and ice in the 1920's are proof that the present melting is not unprecedented. Or use the MWP for comparison. CO2 levels were lower than today, yet temps increased.
Fact: More than half of the temp increase in the last 150 years occurred in the first 75 years. And yet CO2 levels have shown a steady increase. Where is the correlation between CO2 and rising temps?
Fact: Since 1997, temps have leveled or cooled slightly. These numbers are from NASA (RSS satellites). And Hansen and the IPCC predicted the opposite. Oops!
Fact: Although CO2 levels don't coincide with warming (or cooling) trends, the activity of the Sun always matches quite nicely. Active -- warmer, less active -- cooler.
Fact: Greenhouse operations consistently add CO2 for healthier plants, sometimes as much as 1500 ppm. Don't you wonder why none of those exposed to these "high levels' have died?
If facts are to be considered, consider all, not just those that support a particular belief. In this case, many facts and records do not support the theory or predictions of the warmists. And to advise that reading a philosopher's guesses on human thinking is a better examination than actual evidence -- maybe it's not the average human that has a problem with facts.
I understand and respect your position, but as stated previously, the amount of indisputable, factual evidence that CO2 is not a pollutant or a driver of global temperatures is recorded in history, some by eyewitness. That's about the largest dose of reality available on the subject.
You were kind enough to direct me to a reading source that supports your beliefs. Returning the favor, this article puts real numbers to the claim touting 'the vast majority of scientists around the world' who believe in the theory.

Way way way too big
This dress is really beautiful. I'm usually either an xxs or xs and I ordered this in xxs because of the fit. When I receive it, it was way too big. The area right under the armpits was sticking out and did not fit well.
When I took it back to the store, everyone there thought it was a beautiful dress (which it really is)...I just wish it was made smaller and true to size.

I also had a huge(literaly) issue with this dress! I'm usually size xxs-xs (about 5'4" 100lbs.) When I received my order, I didn't even bother trying it on because of how huge it was, instead I asked one of my friends to try in on(who is a size 6) and she was swimming in it!!! My initial thought was that dress was mismarked!? I mean the tag and everything said it was xxs--but it definitely was not!!! (More like size large 8-10!!!) The beading sequence was also poorly made, few of them just fell off when i took the dress out of the package! And finally to top it off, I went to the store about half an hour after I received my dress in the mail, to get my money back--and the manager of the store at first refused to accept it, because he said all of their dresses need to have a side tag that sticks out on the outside of the dress--(that's their way of identifying if it was ever worn!) Well my dress arrived without that side tag! I guess god thing I went to the store the same day, I think if I waited couple of days they wouldn't take it back at all and I would have no proof that the dress arrived without the tag! Ughh just very annoyed with this, though I would let other customers know! This dress is not worth the money! And the sizes--they are definitely off! I'm scared to order any more clothing online!!!!

XXS - way too big
I am 4'11'' and I weigh 103 pounds and I am always an XXS and this was way too big on me. I was so disappointed because I really wanted this dress. The color and beading is so pretty but I think the beads weighed the top of the dress down and it was too big everywhere literally. Very sad because I wanted this to work!!

Recognized were Valerie Sanders of Cypress Parks Elementary, Pam Perrett of Pearman Elementary, Kevin Carlisle of the Walter C. Robinson Achievement Center, Jessica Tyson received administrator of the year, Crystal Thomas of Parks Elementary, Sarah Bailey of East Side High School, Demetras Jones of Nailor Elementary, Susan Blansett of Bell Academy, and Brittany Waggener of Hayes Cooper Center received district teacher of the year.
Maurice Lucas, president of the board, thanked everyone for his or her thoughts and prayers and announced that he is now cancer free.
Lucas had been previously diagnosed with prostate cancer and had not attended a meeting since November due to his health.
Lucas was grateful for the kind words and received applause from the board, the teachers in attendance, and the cabinet.
After an update from the cabinet and approval of several items on the agenda, the board went into executive session to discuss a student misconduct, which possibly related to the incident at D.M. Smith Middle School on Friday.
While the details of the incident are unknown at this time, a teacher was taken to Bolivar Medical Center and is now in the Elvis Presley Trauma Center in Memphis.
According to Ann-Marie Parker Brown, her mother Lane Parker, a seventh grade language arts teacher at D.M. Smith, is facing a long recovery.
"I'd rather not comment about the young man. We don't believe that he intentionally harmed my mother. We believe he was simply caught up in the moment. She has four fractures in her right hip. She has a long road to recovery. We do appreciate all prayers and concerns," said Brown.
Cleveland School District Superintendent Jackie Thigpen said, "The district is following the discipline policy as it relates to the incident."
The Bolivar Commercial will have more as the story develops.

For Immediate Release Kelly Wavra J.R. Carlson Laboratories, Inc. 600 W. University Drive, Arlington Heights, IL 60004 Tel. 847-255-1600 Fax: 847-255-1605 E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
Arlington Heights, IL ---January 2014--- Carlson Laboratories Reacts to Recent Study Showing Use of Vitamin E in Patients with Mild to Moderate Alzheimer Disease Slows Functional Decline. On January 1, 2014, The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) published a study titled, "Vitamin E, Memantine, and Alzheimer Disease [sic]." The study results suggest the use of synthetic vitamin E—a daily dose of 2,000 IU— by patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease slows functional decline and reduces caregiver time in assisting.
A total of 613 patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease were chosen to determine the long-term safety and effectiveness of synthetic vitamin E, as dl-alpha tocopherol, and/or the effects of an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor called, memantine. While some subjects received only vitamin E or memantine, others received both the vitamin and the drug, or a placebo. Only the group solely taking vitamin E saw significant positive results. Alzheimer's progression was delayed an average of 19% per year in the vitamin E group, while caregiver time was reduced by about two hours a day.
"Carlson Laboratories was happy to hear that vitamin E, the powerful antioxidant that initiated the start of our company, has been linked to a decline in the functional progression of Alzheimer's patients," said Carilyn Anderson, President of Carlson Laboratories. "Alzheimer's has been associated with oxidative stress, so it's no wonder vitamin E is helpful in slowing this terrible disease. Carlson Laboratories began with one simple vitamin E formula in 1965. Since then, the line has grown to become the most complete line of natural-source vitamin E products in the world. Just two of our E-Gems Elite 1,000 IU soft gels provide 2,000 IU of natural vitamin E as alpha tocopherol. Further research of vitamin E and Alzheimer's disease is needed, including a comparison of natural source vitamin E. Proven to be twice as active in our bodies as synthetic vitamin E, natural vitamin E may be even more beneficial for the brain."

Do not pull loose ends, clip them with scissors to remove. Clean liquid spills immediately by blotting with cloth or sponge. For hard to remove stains, professional rug cleaning is recommended.
Rug is nice to look at but rough to the touch. This is not a soft rug. The color is nice.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.It is just like pictured- perfect for what I was looking for.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.This is a great rug - thin but very sturdy. It lays flat well and I use it under a rolling desk chair with no problem. The color was as I expected, maybe just a bit lighter gray than it appeared on my screen.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.The pattern and color (sage) of this rug is awesome. It's very thin though, so keep that in mind when ordering.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.This rug has a gorgeous design which is why I bought it. The rug itself if more of a mat rather than a rug. It's very thin and scratchy. The design is also pretty large which I think works better for a larger room (I bought the 8 x 11). Don't buy this rug if you're expecting it to be soft or comfortable. I still love the design, but am returning it.
RECOMMENDED: No, I would not recommend this to a friend.I ordered this rug in yellow and just needed a small accent rug to incorporate the color of the walls down to the floor under a table. For this purpose the rug works great. However, it is VERY thin and I think it only works for me because it is laying on carpeting. I think if you are considering this to lay in a hard wood or tile area you may be disappointed. Just be aware it is VERY VERY thin and not plush looking at all.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.i love this style rug- a nubby texture but great pattern- the blue color is beautiful- a true sky blue-
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.great rug, great price. what a steal!
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.Great rug - Sky is a beautiful color. Love it and worth the price. Well made.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.I should've listened to the other reviews - the rug is so thin it felt like paper and was so unbelievably scratchy - it actually pricked our feet through our thick socks! Like another review, our 8x10 had a few spots that looked slightly bald and the border was so hard it was uncomfortable when you stepped on it with socks. We had to pay the money and returned the item. It was definitely not worth the price.
RECOMMENDED: No, I would not recommend this to a friend.I ordered the gray color. It is a brown-ish gray--not the true gray it seemed in the picture. I like the quality and it lays nice, not too wrinkly. I would definitely recommend a pad if you put it on a wood floor. It took 47 days from the day I ordered to get here.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.The rug is gorgeous, great quality, color is as pictured, very expensive but was able to get it when it was a 40% off coupon day! Shipped and recieved so fast that i didnt even get a shipment or delivery notice until after I recieved it. I am very happy with my purchase from this company and would recommend. Sign up for the emails and stay paitient until you get a good one then buy!
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.The colors are a bit brighter than on the website. I purchased the sky color as a runner, which works well since the rug is very thin and doesn't catch under the door. The design is also large.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.Great product. Well described and shipped quickly.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.Although I love the pattern and color of the rug, I was disappointed in how it feels...it is not soft at all...and is very thin. There are also some areas that seem like they are missing some thread. I also wish the edges were finished differently rather than a simple edge. I thought for the cost, I would be getting something with a little better quality.
RECOMMENDED: No, I would not recommend this to a friend.Love the rug but keep in mind the color is different. I ordered the turqoise which looks very blue. However, it is a teal green.
Very much a wool rug. It has a great modern design but the texture and surface are old-fashioned in terms of material- like an old wool sweater. Repeat is quite large (design is 15 by 10 inches) so it works better in a large space. Don't get if you are looking for a soft rug!

The VLD design incorporates a sharp nose that allows the bullet to penetrate up to 3 inches before it starts to expand. This delayed expansion results in a wound channel that is deep inside the vital area of any big game. After the bullet starts to expand it will shed 80% to 90% of its weight into the surrounding tissue traveling as deep as 18 inches. This results in a massive wound cavity that creates the greatest possible amount of tissue damage and hemorrhaging within the vital area (organs). This massive and extensive wound cavity result in the animal dropping fast. This is not loaded ammunition.
