It's what many imagine as paradise: Crystal-clear, blue-green waters perfect for catching a wave.
But the reality is sometimes far different, as captured by surf photographer Zak Noyle on a recent trip to Indonesia. On assignment for Surf Magazine, where he's a staff photographer charged with traveling the world in search of perfect waves, he flew to a remote spot near Bali where there were "no people only jungle and wild animals around."
"The trash suddenly showed up while we were out in the water in a large mass, including tree trunks the size of cars, lots of food wrappers and bottles as well, we even saw soccer balls floating amongst the debris," he said. "I kept on thinking I would be seeing a body of some type of animal or something float by."
The debris and trash, he said, came in with the very swell Noyle was there to photograph. "It came in a large field seemingly out of nowhere and covered the entire area we were in and then washed ashore. At one point it was as far as the eye could see."
Noyle was living on a small fishing boat with no means to clean up all the trash.
The remote location — it took almost 24 hours of flying, 12 hours of driving and an eight-hour boat ride to get there– made the trash all the more surprising. "The trash was devastating to see, it seemed to have been adrift for awhile and came in with the large swell into this bay that we were at. I love the ocean and we need to take care of it."

Comments about BikeMaster Chain Breaker 420-525:
The use of this product is easy, but my existing chain had no master link and I had to go on line to see that grinding the rivit was necessary. I would like to see some directions just to boost confidence in the user.

BM Chain Breaker
By myfastbike
from Charlotte, MI
I though it would be a tougher tool than it appears to be. Half way thruough the first pin on a 520 chain the collar inside the tool snapped into three pieces. I was still able to get the first link pin out but then I had a heck of a time getting the plunger back in the tool (collar would not budge inside- 3 peices!!). The plunger itself exploded on the second try leaving me no choice but to cut the next link pin out. I've orderd a replacment plunger for the tool and am hoping for better results next time! If it works right it would be a great tool!

The first couple of times I used it, the threads were very stiff to turn and overall quality wasn't great, but it still does the job, and it isn't that bad for the price.

I said after the 2012 class was signed that it was a failure and Muschamp was in for a rough ride. Sure it was a top 5 class, but we signed far too few guys on the offensive side of the ball. We hear all the time that there are too many of Urban's "spread guys" in our new pro system. So after 3 recruiting classes, I decided to analyze just how much success Muschamp's guys have had compared to Urban's boys. QB: URBAN: Driskel committed to Urban, and stuck through the coaching change. He won the job over the guy Muschamp and Weis brought in. Muschamp: Signed Brissett and 2 other guys that will never be SEC caliber. Brissett is now at NCState. RB URBAN: Mack Brown is our leading rusher, and apparently our most steady back. Valdez Showers, a former safety, is also a significant piece in our offense. Muschamp: Matt Jones was the only recruit in his first 2 classes that's still on roster. Apparently he is the "starter", but struggled in his only start. Taylor is sitting behind 3 RB's, one of whom is a former safety. Lane is redshirting. WR: URBAN: Tre Burton, Solomon Patton, and Quinton Dunbar are pretty much the only WRs that even see passes thrown their way. They're not world beaters, but they're our the only ones at this position producing. Muschamp: The WRs Muschamp signed in the last 3 recruiting classes have combined for 1 catch for 5 yards this year. (Last year, 4 catches for 11 yards) Raphael Andrades and Latroy Pittman are the only 2 signees from his first 2 classes still on roster. TE: URBAN: Currently none on roster. MUSCHAMP: signed 4 over 3 recruiting classes, the best of which is Clay Burton. 2 of those 4 are converted defensive ends (Burton and Westbrook, who are 1 and 2 on our depth chart) This group combined for 5 catches, 18 yards this year and last. OL: URBAN: His signees make up half our depth chart. MUSCHAMP: Signed 3 OLs in his first 2 classes that are still on roster. As a result added 2 transfers. Our offensive line was dominated by Miami. My point in all of this is, that Urban did not leave the cupboard bare for Will. Will should send Urban a thank you card for leaving him a set of offensive players that makes up the vast majority of what little productivity we have 3 years later. If Muschamp is building an offense, then where are the pieces he's supposed to be bringing in? Where are HIS playmakers at receiver? or tight end? Even his running back signees have yet to make an impact. I said after the 2012 class was signed that Muschamp did not care about our offense when it came to recruiting. Recruiting defensive players is his first and only priority, and offensive players are merely an afterthought (notice the trend of undersigning on offense). That's why so many players are moving from defense to offense. Ajagbe, Clay Burton, Westbrook, and Quinteze Williams to name a few. Clearly his philosophy is "make sure the defense is stacked, and then send the offense the leftovers". It's not that our offense is too vanilla or that our playcalling is bad. It's negligent recruiting on Will's part that has led to a lack of numbers and being forced to play guys out of position. Our offense is never going to improve under Muschamp. This is what it's gonna be. And the scary thing is, it might even be worse once Urban's guys are gone and the Muschamp offensive signees (or lack thereof) are thrust into starting roles.
Demarcus Robinson, Ahmad Fulwood, Alvin Bailey, Kelvin Taylor, and soon-to-be Dalvin Cook and Will Grier make our offense pretty good. Also, DJ Humphries was a top-10 recruit, I believe. We have great depth at OL. Our older receivers are looking better.
Those guys have touched the ball 5 times combined. Humphries is good, but he's also one of only 3 OLs Will signed over 2 years, which is the main problem - lack of numbers because of our recruiting under Muschamp.
I agree with you about the 2012 class. Missing out on Diggs and Algohor set the offense back by a couple of years. But in what world does that mean we can't have good offensive classes under Muschamp, when in fact he has signed or received commitments from elite skill players in Kelvin Taylor, Demarcus Robinson, Ahmad Fulwood, Will Grier, Davin Cook, and Ermon Lane in consecutive classes? And on what basis can you claim that Muschamp doesn't care about recruiting offense? What proof could you possibly have for that other than the volume of players signed (which of course you provide no numbers to support)? This post really is one of best examples of a non-sequitur I could ever hope to show my kids. Thanks.
First of all, we signed two OL his first class (Jordan, Thurman), two his second (Humphries, Dunker), and three his third (Brown, Jackson, Johson, though you could add Young, who will almost certainly end up at tackle), so I don't know where you get three in two classes. Second, how can you not count the two transfers in those numbers? We needed kids who were ready to play immediately given our depth problems and no incoming freshmen could have provided that. Both those kids are starting. Third, we already have four committed for next class to fill out the depth chart and we are recruiting more.
Dunker's gone, and my point was that when you go a year signing thin on the OL, you HAVE to make up for it the next year, otherwise you will end up with underclassmen all over the depth chart on the line, which you don't want. There was no excuse for getting only 2 in that 2012 class. The transfers were nice, but geez we can't rely on 2 transfers falling in our lap every time we're low on bodies. And look at how balanced our defensive classes are compared to our offensive classes. It's clear to see which side of the ball is addressed year in year out and which side of the ball we wait until we're in desperate need.
You are getting killed in this thread but nice try. Those two transfers didnt fall in our lap the staff went out and recruited them just like they do with JUCO and high school prospects. UF beat out UGA for Garcia and FSU and USF for Moore.
WM is not the only recruiter. Remember, we had Cheeseburger and he did nothing. We are suffering now as a result.
Wait, wait. Are you telling me that Muschamp didn't recruit lights out in 2011 (when he was brand new) or in 2012 (after two miserable UF seasons) and the fantastic freshman aren't world beaters after their first two games ever?? He clearly doesn't know what he's doing....
This just in: upperclassmen play more and are generally higher impact than younger guys. Dog bites man.
Taylor has been here two games. He was the #2 rusher in one of them. He's part of the point your trying to make? Sorry...you lost me. I think Taylor is a star at UF before its said and done. As for QB...are we not counting next year to WMs credit? Sent from my All knowing Android Device
You can't exclude both those who transfer out and those who transfer in. We filled our needs at OL--period. Now we are adding significant depth with a big line class this year. Again, I can agree with you on receivers--AZ and I have been discussing this exact point on the boards for well over a year now. The staff knows it missed, the results are evident on the field, and ultimately the blame only goes as far as them. But the 2013 and 2014 classes are more than making up for it and reflect not only that they are indeed interested in signing high-caliber offensive talent (again, it boggles the mind to think someone would argue that any staff isn't concerned with that), but that they could do so on par with any program in the nation. There are few consecutive classes in the country with the quality of skill position players we have signed or received commitments from in 13-14.
Give Pease a chance, brudda. WM came from the DEFENSIVE trenches, so makes sense he would recruit better there. Pease was only in his first year -- takes a couple to get recruits to see what you are building, trust it enough to buy into it.
Analysis is a little harsh. We know 2011 and 2012 weren't the best recruiting years on the offensive side of the ball. Luckily the defense is going to be very solid for a while, so the offense has time to catch up, which it looks like is happening slowly but surely. Give it some time.
The thought that Muschamp doesn't "care" about the offense is laughable. F-ck sake, some of you are ridiculous.

So I was just given several small pieces of a green ornamental sweet potato vine. They have short roots on the ends. If I pot them up now, will they have time to grow the tubers that are recommended to store for next year? Should I plan on enjoying the vine for what's left of this growing season, or could the potted vine be overwintered sucessfully- inside or outside? Could cutting of the vine be overwintered in water? I am located between Birmingham and Tuscaloosa. |

Beth, pot it up and grow as usual. When the vine starts to die back, stop watering, cover all of the potato with dirt and keep it in the pot. Put it in a cool, dark place and ocassionally water through the winter. About March 1 take it out of the pot, wash it and put it in light. It should begin sprouting. You can cut off the slips with a litle bit of the potato and pot them up. Each one wil give you a vine and grow potatoes. BTW, my mother used to cut off slips for a grower in Cullman when she was a little girl. She got paid 10 cents per thousand slips she removed from the potatoes. |

Thanks, Terry. I have seen this ornamental vine at the Aldridge Botanical Garden and just loved the color and how it cascaded down over the pot's sides. I hope it will form "potatos" and make it through the winter, as I would love to have several pots to add to my collection....and also want to add the purple and others, eventually. 10 cents per thousand......WHEW...lotta work for that!! |
I grew 'Sweet Caroline' potato vine this year - its a pretty variegated one. I'd be happy to try to root some cuttings to bring to the Fall swap if ya'll would like. |
you can't kill these things with a flamethrower! just let them die down and take minor precautions such as a little shelter from hard freezing. i absolutely love this species. |

A Foodie's Guide to Napa Valley's Surprise Spring
The hotel is also home to new Redd Wood by Reddington, who also does the nearby one-star Michelin-winning Redd. It offers a gastro-Italian eatery with daily rotating menu of charcuterie and cheese plates as well as wood-fired pizza specialties ranging from traditional tomato and basil pies to hefty homemade sausage, pork jowl or prosciutto cotto toppings. The casual interiors use unfinished stone, walls of glass and industrial steel among wrap-around tufted banquettes and bentwood bistro chairs -- refreshingly casual given the area's numerous fancy gourmands.
Stay at either hotel and it's likely your days will be spent exploring the various wineries, from Carneros to Calistoga, including Plumpjack Winery with its top-notch cabernet, Grgich Hills Estate with its infamous chardonnay and Clos Pegase Winery, which made the eco twist-off cap seem downright classy. Those looking for a full-on winery experience can always indulge in a visit to Francis Ford Coppola Winery with legions of wide-eyed star seekers savoring every tasting glass while a fancier sort tucks into leisurely lunches at Rustic, with its menu of Francis' very favorite Italian dishes.
A bit farther from the central valley in St. Helena is Long Meadow Ranch, which offers an organic farmstead with winery and a farm-to-table dining experience that captures the true essence of modern-day Napa cuisine. Its nursery barn is now Farmstead, a 110-seat eatery by chef Stephen Barber, whose ingredient-driven American menu wows on a daily basis with such dishes as carpaccio of Long Meadow Ranch beef topped with almonds and arugula, chili-roasted local crab and a signature beef cut of the day with heaping sides. Many diners rave these are the best meals in the Napa Valley.
As for local springtime events, this year will offer the second installment of Napa Valley Arts in April, celebrating the gallery and collecting scene in the valley through a calendar of special exhibitions, art events, curated tours and theme tastings. The four-week event highlights a different region of the valley every week, with behind-the-scene glimpses of winery art collections in the valley that include works by Francis Bacon, Jean Dubuffet, George Rickey and Richard Serra -- the hottest arts event of an increasingly warm season. >To submit a news tip, email: firstname.lastname@example.com TheStreet on Twitter and become a fan on Facebook.

How exciting! The herringbone looks great! Mine should start tomorrow. Hoping to be finished the end of this week, then on to the next room...lol! |
Looks awesome! |

Beautiful! Your counters are lovely also. |
I feel like the end is actually in sight. Debating between bright white and saunteen (sp?) for grout. The cooler bright white would hit the counter colors a little better, the other is a little closer to matching the tile, and my sink. My under cabinet lighting looks a bit yellower at the top now, whereas before it read straight cool with the paint color (was a light blue). I think it may be due to the maple color underside of the cabinets. I may try putting white vinyl under a section of cabinet to see if it takes down the yellow from the lights. I do feel like the space seems bigger with the BS, ratherbthan the paint. I wasnt expecting that. Odd, but good. |

Super good choice! Love the texture that the herringbone provides without competing with the gorgeous counter! |
Beautiful! Looks really nice! Can you tell me what your counters are? I am looking for a similar look with the same colors. |
Super Pretty. Nice installation. Glad it's working out for you. |
Super must be the word of the day--I was thinking super nice! As I scrolled down, I saw super was on a lot of minds while they viewed your pic! :) |
Love the herringbone pattern... looks really pretty! |
It looks great! I would pick a grout color similar to what I am seeing now (the contrast in the photo without grout). If you choose the same color as the tile you might loose the pattern and the pop. Just my two cents. |
The herringbone looks fabulous! |
Lydia, counters are Fantasy Brown, leathered. Some places labeled them quartzite, but my fabricator said they are marble. I love them, but they will show wear and tear. Although the leathering and their coloring make it hard to see. Aktillery, hmmmm, I was leaning towards as little contrast as possible with grout, to make sure it doesnt compete too much with counters. Doing a sample board with grout colors today, maybe I'll try one section with a bit more contrast than I was planning judt to be sure. Thanks all, I cant wait to do a final reveal...although I've posted so much along the way it wont be that much of a surprise. Well, thereis the range. II am so excited, like a kid the week before Christmas! Please letthe color work like I planned it to! |

Wow, give your tiler a pizza; they are doing very nice work! I disagree about a darker grout. You WILL see the pattern even with perfectly matched grout, because it's 3-dimensional. For this reason, I'd match grout to the tiles so the pattern is seen dimensionally but not in color contrast which I think would be too loud. You want to see it but not have it scream for attention and compete with the movement in your pretty stone. |
- Posted by may_flowers (My Page) on Tue, Apr 8, 14 at 12:20
I agree to match grout to tile. Right now the BS and counter have equal patterning, maybe with the BS having the edge, and you want your counters to be the star. |
- Posted by teachertile (My Page) on Tue, Apr 8, 14 at 12:54
Looks great!! What color grout did you pick out? |
The tile color & herringbone pattern look perfect with those beautiful countertops & cabinets! Looking forward to more pics. |
Gorgeous. I love herringbone patterns. Such a simple twist on the classic subway that adds so much to a room. |
Beautiful! My word of the day - awesome! The end is in sight! My DH wanted grout darker than the tile - the tile guy wasn't convinced and put some grout powder into the samples - he was right - go lighter - your tiles will still show. |
Focal area going up. I liked the herringbone so much I almost nixed this. Still no decision on grout. Waiting to see samples. |
It's gonna be sautern. Sautern is on the left, light pewter in the middle, and bright white on the right. |
Oh my I love those counters and love the splash you did with it good job! |
Looks fantastic! A beautiful kitchen! |
Looks great! Keep the eye candy coming! |

It's Important To Keep Your Tools In Order With Simple Maintenance Prior To Storing Them For The Winter. (Photo: Business Wire)
Keep Out the Big Chill
Keep Old Man Winter's chill outside by sealing small cracks around windows and doors with caulk and weather-stripping. Autumn is the time to replace windows and you can save up to $150 to $500 a year (depending on local climate) by replacing single-paned windows with windows that have earned the ENERGY STAR® rating. Set the thermostat on the recommended winter setting (68 degrees Fahrenheit) or install a programmable thermostat for efficient use of the home's heating system.
Spice up Curb Appeal
Spend a nice autumn afternoon updating your front door curb appeal. It's inexpensive to add a fresh coat of colorful paint and a new kick plate after it dries. Afterward, add a new welcome mat and potted mums to complete the fresh look. Add extra light and bring the outdoors in by adding a ventilating storm door to see all the beautiful fall colors and enjoy the cooler temperatures. Another way to bring the fall colors inside: Fill a basket or bowl with gourds, leaves and pinecones for your dining room table.
Visit Lowes.com or LowesCreativeIdeas.com for more tips and information on how to enjoy your autumn season.

What do you think of this coffee table in this room? Is it going well with every thing else in the room? TIA |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by joaniepoanie (My Page) on Tue, Dec 31, 13 at 11:13
This appears to be a casual TV room so I think the table is fine. What doesn't work for me is the placement. It should not be in the middle of the room...too far away to be used by people sitting on either sofa. Perhaps the furniture can be rearranged...it's hard to get a full visual of the room since the first picture is upside down. |
I agree. This appears to be a room that having all the furniture lined up against the walls might not be ideal - at least for using that coffee table. It seems a little too large for the white loveseat, but better with the brown sofa. You didn't ask, but I also think a larger rug would look better with your room and coffee table. |
i like the tabletop itself in the room-looks great! ... but, i don't care for the wheels as feet with your furnishings- they don't go at all, imo... |
It anchors the theme of the accessories and smaller tables, I like it, but I'm not sure it really goes with the lighter sofa. And as everyone said, everything is too centered on its wall or in its space. If it's closer to the darker sofa, it looks like you could pull low stools up to it for the kids. Do the wheels have good breaks so they don't pinch the kids' tootsies? |
- Posted by daisychain01 (My Page) on Tue, Dec 31, 13 at 11:59
Love it. I agree to bring other elements in from the walls towards the rug. I think once you add some items to it, it will relate better to the light sofa. A a large white bowl and oversized light coloured coffee table book perhaps. |
I would shift the seating area towards the window and have the walkway/hallway to the stairs behind the brown sofa. Is this your only staircase to go upstairs? |
I don't think it works. If you are drawn to the top, I would modify the legs. |
White sofa is a place holder as of now. I thought the iron wheels would go well with the iron fire place shield. Chipsa - thats our 2nd stair case not the main one. |
- Posted by always1stepbehind (My Page) on Tue, Dec 31, 13 at 12:36
For me the placement is throwing it off. From the pictures, it looks like the best tv viewing area where the dark sofas are, pull the coffee table into towards them. |
- Posted by sjhockeyfan (My Page) on Tue, Dec 31, 13 at 12:41
I think the iron and wood of the tabletop go well with the fireplace, but the wheels are just too big (and therefore "obtrusive"). |
It does go with the fp, it's just other elements in the room are more refined, not country western looking. True the wheels are on prominent display now being in the middle of the room. |
- Posted by joaniepoanie (My Page) on Tue, Dec 31, 13 at 13:15
Yes, what Chispa said...bring the brown sofa forward creating more of an L or U around the coffee table and making a pathway to the stairs without having to walk in front of people sitting on the couch. It assume this room is open to the kitchen...my SIL has a similar arrangement...she has a sectional sofa...works well. |
I was thinking not country-western but "voyage" :), bringing home the trunk, end table, giraffes, rug, and wonderful savannah-sunset vase. |
bpathome - yes, I was thinking in those lines as well when I brought the table home from World Market. |
I think it belongs in a room with a south west motif. If your leather couches had studs in them it might start to work. The rug is too light and refined to ground the heaviness of it. |
- Posted by nosoccermom (My Page) on Tue, Dec 31, 13 at 16:25
I think it goes very well with the style of the rug and the leather sofa. The only issue is that it's too alone in the middle of the rug. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Living rooms with factory cart coffee tables
I like the table but I think the rug is way to small. I would also like to see the sofa facing the fireplace. |
Without repeating what others have noted about the spacing of furniture and rug, I think the table is over-industrialized in a forced way. The top rivets and corner brackets are appealing and a more tasteful nod to industrial decor... the casters are too much. But if you like the look for now, you could probably switch out the casters later for different legs. |
- Posted by littlebug5 (My Page) on Tue, Dec 31, 13 at 18:08
I agree with several others. The top of the table is OK, but the wheels are just strange and out of place. Yes, I see that they repeat the circle of the mirror, but that's not enough to ground the piece in your room. |
nope in a word LARGE..need something more in keeping with small sofa. |
I like it very much, it is different and unexpected!! And if those wheels work, then you can move it easily to where needed. |
- Posted by justgotabme (My Page) on Tue, Dec 31, 13 at 23:09
At first look I didn't think it worked at all, but after reading what others have said, which helped me noticed what this table relates too, I realized that it was the rug that was throwing the look off. I think I'd try a less traditional rug (maybe a little darker) in either a larger size or pulling the furniture in toward the table would make all the difference in the world. |
you have a nice eclectic look going on so the table works, as others have said if you can pull the big pieces closer to the edge of the rug, it would look nicer, imo… |
I think it works, especially if the white sofa is just temporary. But what I'd do in the room is pull the rug closer to the white sofa, so that its front legs are on the rug. Then pull the brown sofa closer so that its front legs are on the rug. Center the coffee table between them. Now everyone can use the coffee table. There is now a walkway to the stairs behind the brown sofa, so that people using the stairs don't have to walk in front of people on the brown sofa, blocking their view of the TV. Or you could push everything over to the brown sofa, but you will still have the people walking in front of the TV problem. Then you could put a console table in front of the windows. I think one of the issues with the coffee table as it is now is that is it all alone in the center of the room and it is what your eyes are drawn to. It isn't supposed to be the focal point, but stranding it out there in the middle of a sea of area rug forces it into focal point position. Move it into the center of an arrangement of furniture, with the sofas closer to it, and I don't think it will stand out so much. |
Everything else in the room has something on it, making the coffee table naked and vulnerable out there in the center all alone....as such I imagine nearly any table of any style would get negative feedback. My own initial response was "yuck, no!", but on careful reflection, I realize I actually like the table, and suspect that like many others am responding to other factors.....can you position it closer to the brown sofa, add something to the top and take another picture? And a larger rug would better fit the heft/scale of the table, too. You don't have a larger jute carpet to substitute, do you? I like that the heft of the table balances the mirror. |

'Stand-up economist': How to be optimistic about climate
Seattle's Dr. Yoram Bauman is probably best known for clarifying the intricacies of economics with doses of humor as what he calls "the world's first and only stand-up economist." He has a national following and has shared the stage with luminaries from the late Robin Williams to Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman.
Bauman now focuses his wit and economics expertise on the daunting issue of climate change with acclaimed illustrator Grady Klein in an educational and entertaining new book, The The Cartoon Introduction to Climate Change (Island Press). In the book, Dr. Bauman offers — with jokes — a primer on climate history, the science of climate change, the consequences of human use of fossil fuels, predictions, and policy ideas on how to address the major culprits, carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases — before it's too late.
Bauman is a Ph.D. environmental economist and active in CarbonWA.org, an effort to bring a revenue-neutral carbon tax to Washington state. He taught for several years with the UW Program on the Environment. He also co-authored with Klein of the two-volume Cartoon Introduction to Economics. His website is www.standupeconomist.com.
Bauman recently talked about our climate at a coffee house in Seattle's University District on his return from a round of talks for audiences ranging from the American Enterprise Institute and Research for the Future in Washington D.C. to a conference of New England public utilities commissioners in Vermont.
How did you decide to create a cartoon book to explain this complex subject?
You take something that's daunting that people want to know more about and you put it in a format that's more accessible and inviting for people. The challenge for cartoon books in this country is that they have the reputation of being just for kids. Kids can read them too, but there's a lot of good information in the books and folks who are not experts on climate change can pick up a lot from this book.
How do you see climate change and why are most scientists convinced it's occurring?
Climate change is occurring because of the burning of fossil fuels, deforestation and putting greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, mostly CO2 [carbon dioxide]. There's a theory that goes back 150 years or so that says that this will warm the planet and will have other implications.
Lately, we've been learning about ocean acidification so that some carbon that goes into the atmosphere gets dissolved in the ocean and affects ocean chemistry and that can change things like the ability of ocean creatures to build shells. We also see changes in weather patterns and precipitation. A warmer atmosphere tends to hold more moisture so you get heavier and heavier rainstorms.
You also write about the history of climate. What are scientists learning from this history?
There are scientific efforts to figure out what the planet looked like 20,000 years ago at the peak of the Ice Age and then during earlier ice ages, going back millions of years. In Antarctica, we can drill down through the ice and pull up ice core samples that go back about 800,000 years. You can analyze air bubbles that are trapped inside the ice to find the percentage of CO2 and other gases in the air bubbles and to determine what the temperature of the environment over the 800,000-year period.
What are core samples telling us about the situation now?
There have been comings and goings of ice ages on a semi-regular time scale. It's now known that those are basically related to changes in the earth's orbit around the sun that leads to glaciation or deglaciation — the build up or melt down of glaciers — and that's where the ice ages come from.
You can also measure the relative percentage of liquid water to ice on the planet. And you can look at CO2 levels over the past eight hundred thousand years and we're certainly out of balance now when compared to that period. Basically, during the ice ages, CO2 concentration varied from 180 to 280 parts per million. We're now at 400 parts per million, and we're headed up at 2 or 3 parts per million a year, and definitely headed to 560, a doubling of preindustrial levels.

The climate models that predicted global warming have fallen, and they can't get up. We are entering the 19th consecutive year of the so-called "hiatus" in global warming predicted by those models. At this late date, even the authors of the latest IPCC report are admitting that their models have collapsed.
Among other things, they know that the Pacific Decadal Oscillation will block the formation of a strong El Nino for at least another five to 10 years. It was their last hope for rescue, and it's gone.
Without the models, the anthropogenic global warming hypothesis is dead. The Seattle "progressives" who remain in thrall to the Church of Climatology don't realize it yet -- the provincials wait for it to appear on the front page of the New York Times, which is always a few years late.
Be that as it may, the trunk of your tree is climate modeling, and those models are dead, dead, dead. Your priests aren't even bothering to defend them anymore, and are reduced to begging people to "believe!"
Posted Wed, Aug 27, 10:32 p.m.
I don't why I waste time responding to such patently and willfully ignorant crap posted by such a regularly insulting commenter, but here goes:
• "19 year hiatus": The heat has been going into the oceans. http://www.skepticalscience.com/global-warming-stopped-in-1998-intermediate.htm; http://www.sciencemag.org/content/345/6199/897
• "it's all in the models": Read a few of the most recent studies in the field here-- http://scholar.google.com/scholar?as_ylo=2013&q;=accuracy+of+climate+models&hl;=en&as;_sdt=0,48 --and then post an exposition on how the models are wrong or how AGW isn't happening because the "models have collapsed."
• "Pacific Decadal Oscillation will block the formation of a strong El Nino for at least another five to 10 years": Really? Do you have a clue what you're talking about? Maybe start here, http://www.nwfsc.noaa.gov/research/divisions/fe/estuarine/oeip/ca-pdo.cfm , and produce a citation to some evidence or analysis that supports your prediction. If you can't do that, tell us what your expertise is to come to such a conclusion and on what basis. Also, even if what you say is accurate, how does it disprove AGW?
• "Without the models, the anthropogenic global warming hypothesis is dead." Even more meaningless (along with "Church of Climatology").
I believe most readers give your posts about the same consideration as to the fruit flies on their compost; an annoyance that must be tolerated. Why? Because the flies spontaneously appear where ever there is available fruit, just like your posts appear where ever there's an opportunity to rant against AGW or "progressives."
Posted Sun, Aug 31, 1:17 a.m.
louploup, you're a typical stupid Seattle "progressive" who thinks it has a brain in its head. "Sekptical science" is a propaganda website from the same people who gave us the phony claim that 97% of scientists endorse the AGW hypothesis.
So now that the models have failed, the Church of Climatology is trying to tell us that climate models don't mean anything. Problem is that the hypothesis was built on the models, so if the models have collapsed then the hypothesis is invalid -- if you follow the scientific method.
But the Church of Climatology has NEVER been about the science. It's always been faith plus politics. Our stupid Seattle "progressive" whackjob, louploup, is just as whacked out as Sarah Palin, except that at least she allows herself the sport of shooting wolves from helicopters. louploup hunts nothing more challenging than a latte.
louploup, you don't know anything about science, and like the other "progressives" here, your self-regard is as endless as your stupidity. You and George W. Bush are brothers under the skin, combining arrogance with mental impairment. Please post your address so a passing Republican can put you on the mailing list.
Posted Mon, Sep 1, noon
After you've read http://www.aip.org/history/climate/co2.htm and devised a response that makes you look at least passably able to make a coherent point, I'll waste more time on you.
btw, I am already on various Republican and more reactionary mailing lists. Good to know what they're up to. And I don't waste money on lattés.
You remain in fruit fly territory.

There are a couple of bright spots on the horizon: First solar is starting to become a major source of electrical energy:
Second, the Chinese are building a lot of renewable power generation plants.
Thirdly the Chinese and India are building the next generation of nuclear power plants: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prototype_Fast_Breeder_Reactor
Lastly the organic foods movement helps because farming organicly sequesters carbon in the soil.
The key will be can we turn the corner before the tundra melts and starts releasing all that methane gas.
If that happens it's going to be a different ball game all together.
Posted Thu, Aug 28, 10:47 a.m.
We're in a race between running out of cheap fossil fuels (or a collapse of the global economy making it difficult to extract and use them) and the running out of the clock on global warming (tipping points and uncertainties galore). Check out http://www.hubbertpeak.com/hubbert/wwf1976/ ("Exponential Growth as a Transient Phenomenon in Human History") where the originator of "peak oil" laid out the basic dynamic 40 years ago.
Posted Thu, Aug 28, 11:58 a.m.
"Peak Oil" was a marketing campaign to sell nuclear power.
Not that I disagree that there is such a thing as peak oil production, it's just that there is a trillion barrels of known recoverable oil and at $100 barrel, that's a $100 Trillion reasons to keep on digging it up and burning it whatever the consequences.
The good news is that people are starting to change anyway. And yes it's a race against the clock for the warming. But it's not about the oil.
Posted Thu, Aug 28, 4:36 p.m.
When the cost to pull $1 of oil out of the ground gets close to $1, it won't matter if there are a gazillion barrels in the rock; it won't be pulled out. That's ROI (sometimes appearing in the form of life cycle analysis—LCA). When it takes close to 1 unit of energy to pull 1 unit of energy out of the ground; it won't be pulled out for much longer. That's EROI. You might also look up net energy cliff to get a better understanding of why both of these ratios have meaning in the real world.
Looking at a Hubbert curve for the total quantity of accessible oil on the planet, the EROI and ROI on the left side of peak is far higher than the ratios on the right side. If you think we're going to have has much fun "growing civilization" on the down side of Peak Oil, you are in fantasy land.
You cite to an article that turns out to be an extract of a Greg Pallast book from 2006 (btw impossible to read without copying the text off the page to read elsewhere); it is one of the poorest argued pieces on the oil subject I've ever seen. The last sentence—"Evil, not geology, has a chokehold on energy; nature is ready to give us crude at $12 a barrel where it was just a few short years ago."—is idiotic. I looked at the Amazon reviews of Pallast's 2006 book, and agree with the comments that call out his grossly ignorant misinterpretations of Hubbert as "shameful."
In response, I suggest http://ourfiniteworld.com/2014/07/23/world-oil-production-at-3312014-where-are-we-headed/ where you can read some oil analysis (and find links to others') that is actually based on real data and makes sense. According to credible analyses (including those by scientists/engineers in the big oil companies when allowed to be candid), we are at or within at most a decade or two of peak production. And the efforts at extending the inevitable down slope are increasingly costly (lower ROI and EROI): http://ourfiniteworld.com/2014/05/21/the-connection-between-oil-prices-debt-levels-and-interest-rates/ ; http://ourfiniteworld.com/2014/02/25/beginning-of-the-end-oil-companies-cut-back-on-spending/
The problems with almost all renewable energy alternatives include (not universal to every one): most produce electricity, not liquid fuels (and see "energy density"); they don't have the capacity to do as much work as the fossil fuels we've been partying on for over a century (how can current photosynthesis possibly produce as much energy as millions of years of stored fossil fuels?); the actual EROI and need for fossil fuels and other resources to construct and maintain them is complex, hidden, and probably worse than we think; they have their own large, difficult to address externalities (e.g., nuclear) that makes their effective EROI/ROI much lower than we think; they aren't currently viable (fusion, thorium breeders--let us know when someone gets those going at a commercial scale--seems like India is actually close).

louploup, do you also have a patent on the 300 m.p.g. carburetor?
Posted Sun, Aug 31, 1:18 a.m.
So now louploup trots out peak oil. Tell us, are you handing out free tinfoil hats? Typical Seattle "progressive," too stupid to walk and breathe at the same time.

GaryP is intelligent enough to have a conversation. What's your problem?
Posted Fri, Aug 29, 8:24 a.m.
Louploup: "When the cost to pull $1 of oil out of the ground gets close to $1,"...
Can't happen!... why? oil is demoninated in dollars!... What scam eh? But that's what we have going for us and why it pisses everyone else in the world off.
"When it takes close to 1 unit of energy to pull 1 unit of energy out of the ground; it won't be pulled out for much longer. "
That's more serious, but for the moment, you can extract the trillion barrels of oil from the tar sands of Canada and Venezulla for less energy than you get from it. Dirty? yes! Water fouling? Yes! Should we do it? doubtful but it's going to be a long time before we run out of the stuff. As the price rises the demand falls.
" we are at or within at most a decade or two of peak production. "
This is by design of the oil companies If you overproduce the price drops then your profits fall.
" they aren't currently viable (fusion, thorium breeders--"
Thorium salt reactors were on line in the '60's. They shut it down mostly because they don't have a byproduct of plutonium. Current civilian nuclear power is actually just nuclear bomb making production with a byproduct of electricity. It's a ruse to let them build one near you. Thoruium reactors don't make this stuff, and are way safer to operate as they don't require a high pressure containment dome etc. And coal contains Thorium. In fact so does coal ash which we have tons of both of which we could recover if we wanted to.
Every generation fears that the end is near when they see change on the horizion. Ours is no different. But as you can see most of our problems are political not technological.
Posted Fri, Aug 29, 11:53 a.m.
You apparently haven't read a single one of the analyses I linked to because they address the points you raise and you haven't dealt with any of them. The cost of oil cannot be explained in a short incoherent paragraph. Please explain why the industry is pulling back from investing in long term exploration and production. Hint: Because it costs too much for the return obtained (ROI), and because the quantity of new discoveries and production for the same level of effort keep declining (EROI). (More dry wells, smaller fields, less oil produced.)
"you can extract ...oil from the tar sands ...for less energy than you get from it." Marginal: e.g.
http://insideclimatenews.org/news/20130219/oil-sands-mining-tar-sands-alberta-canada-energy-return-on-investment-eroi-natural-gas-in-situ-dilbit-bitumen I have seen not one credible estimate for EROI of tar sands in the double digits, and most estimates are at 5 or less.
"As the price rises the demand falls." This is not accurate; oil demand is much more closely tied to overall economic activity than to price. Read the studies. However, if the price rises too much, the economy goes into recession because too much money has to be shifted from other activities to the purchase of oil (see "net energy cliff"). But even then demand barely drops; look at the data for the 2008 "great recession." And if the price falls too much, the oil producers stop investing (in addition to not being able to produce enough to pay for the cost of exploration regardless of price). The sweet spot for oil prices is a shrinking window.
"[peak production within a decade or two] is by design of the oil companies..." This is a ridiculous claim. Can you produce any data or analysis to support it?
If thorium reactors are so swell, why aren't there dozens of them producing power? More conspiracy theories? I agree that coal ash is nasty stuff. Coal should stay in the ground for other reasons as well (AGW).
"Every generation fears that the end is near when they see change on the horizon." What does "the end" mean? Certainly change always means "the end of the world as we know it." It's also true that all civilizations have collapsed or evolved into something different. The current situation is unique because unlike prior civilizations, ours is global. There are no safety valves left like the Americas were for Europe. Limits to growth are real.
Posted Fri, Aug 29, 1:29 p.m.
It's obvious you have no clue about the politics of oil.
No one sells oil at $33/barrel if it costs more than that to dig it up. It's that same ROI you keep harping about. Oil is still dirt cheap. And there is a trillion barrels of recoverable known reserves.
Why are there no Thorium salt reactors in the USA? (or the rest of the world for that matter...) no plutoium by products for making bombs. Why does any country want a bomb? so their neighbors won't invade. Just ask Iraq and Iran.... who has the bomb making capibilty and who has the oil?....
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orinoco_Belt ... about a trillion barrels of tar sand oil. http://www.wallstreetdaily.com/2014/08/29/oil-sands/
Posted Fri, Aug 29, 3:10 p.m.
Citing an irrelevant Greg Pallast post again. And Wikipedia for oil supply data! And regarding the Orinoco--so what?
Saying I don't understand the politics of oil when you yourself clearly don't know much about the subject, and even more clearly show no curiosity to learn more, is a 'lol' moment.
In looking for data on Orinoco (production, EROI, relation to world supply), I found an essay that summarizes much of the oil supply subject very well in an easy to understand narrative (by a physicist!)--http://physics.ucsd.edu/do-the-math/2011/10/the-energy-trap/ Maybe you'll actually take the time to read some of it before responding. Beyond that, and since Crosscut has banished this page to its almost invisible archives, I'm done.
Posted Fri, Aug 29, 3:30 p.m.
Again, that you don't understand how having oil priced in dollars affects the cost of energy, and how excess supply depresses price is just "priceless".... and a LOL moment over here.
But then it's almost labor day weekend and time to grill some food. Have a good weekend.
Posted Sat, Aug 30, 11:46 a.m.
I should know better; I can't keep away and you are a reasonable correspondent (although IMO not curious enough), so:
I never disagreed that "excess supply depresses price". I was responding to you saying "As the price rises the demand falls." I said: "oil demand is much more closely tied to overall economic activity than to price." Oil is so fundamental to our economy and life style that demand is pretty price inflexible. Our two statements are not inconsistent.
I agree: increased supply pushes prices down, and I also agree that this continues to happen as a result of improved technology. Reduced demand also happens during recessions, but minimally.
However, "excess supply" is not sustainable. Yes, extended supply like tight oil and gas, Orinoco, fracking, etc. will drive the price down in the near term, and that lower price along with the increasing depletion of a finite and increasingly expensive to obtain resource, makes is harder to pay for continuing production.
It is a conundrum: more capital per barrel is needed to keep the production up to meet rising demand. But the short term "excess" supply drives the price down at the same time as depletion is driving the cost of production up. As a result, over time capital gets a lower rate of return, driving it elsewhere, like renewables. But those alternatives, while potentially non-depleting ("sustainable"), are lower yield and don't support capitalism's carcinogenic drive for growth.
Another easy to read synthesizing article on the matter: http://www.sustainable.unimelb.edu.au/files/mssi/MSSI-Issues-Paper_AlexanderS_1.pdf
Good weekend to you too.
Posted Fri, Aug 29, 12:14 p.m.
P.s. If you're really willing to dig into the subject, there is an excellent series of peer reviewed articles (Theme Issue 'The future of oil supply') published by the Royal Society. See
http://rsta.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/372/2006.toc No one can seriously argue that these articles are the product of either "environmental extremists" or "industry stooges."
Most of the content except abstracts is behind pay walls. But I have them all, and if you send me an email (I'm not hard to find), I'll be happy to email them to you (or any other reader who won't be using them for commercial purposes).
Here is the abstract for the article on EROI:
Murphy DJ. 2014 The implications of the declining energy return on investment of oil production. Phil. Trans. R., Soc. A 372: 20130126.
Declining production from conventional oil resources has initiated a global transition to unconventional oil, such as tar sands. Unconventional oil is generally harder to extract than conventional oil and is expected to have a (much) lower energy return on (energy) investment (EROI). Recently, there has been a surge in publications estimating the EROI of a number of different sources of oil, and others relating EROI to long-term economic growth, profitability and oil prices. The following points seem clear from a review of the literature: (i) the EROI of global oil production is roughly 17 and declining, while that for the USA is 11 and declining; (ii) the EROI of ultra-deep-water oil and oil sands is below 10; (iii) the relation between the EROI and the price of oil is inverse and exponential; (iv) as EROI declines below 10, a point is reached when the relation between EROI and price becomes highly nonlinear; and (v) the minimum oil price needed to increase the oil supply in the near term is at levels consistent with levels that have induced past economic recessions. From these points, I conclude that, as the EROI of the average barrel of oil declines, long-term economic growth will become harder to achieve and come at an increasingly higher financial, energetic and environmental cost.

Street Transvestite Action Revolutionaries
This article needs additional citations for verification. (October 2010) |
Street Transvestite Action Revolutionaries (STAR) -- later renamed Street Transgender Action Revolutionaries[1]—was a transgender activist organization founded in 1970 by Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera. Johnson and Rivera used to hustle the streets in order to keep their children from having to do the same to feed and shelter themselves. STAR was briefly renewed in the early 2000s initiating street demonstrations and other political activity before Rivera's death in order to advance the fight for the transgender civil rights bill in New York City and New York State and to fight for self-determination for all gender non-conformists.
Both founders became activists during the 1969 Stonewall riots. Johnson was later an activist and organizer with ACT-UP.
STAR was created to advocate on behalf of homeless drag queens and runaways. They also created STAR House, a shelter for this population and pressed for trans inclusion in mainstream gay activist groups.[2]
In 2013, Untorelli Press published Street Transvestite Action Revolutionaries: Survival, Revolt, and Queer Antagonist Struggle, a collection of historical documents, interviews, and critical analyses relating to STAR.[3]

Letter: Fire victims grateful for the help of many
Larry and Kathy Craig, Henderson
In mid-November during a severe thunderstorm, lightning caused an explosion of the gas meter at our home in Balmoral Acres. We immediately called 911, as did several of our wonderful neighbors. Within a couple of minutes, our street was filled with Henderson Fire Department personnel and equipment as well as caring neighbors.
As the firemen fought against the gas-fueled fire in 25 mph winds, heavy downpour and lightning, they realized that in order to shut off the ruptured gas supply they needed the help of the city of Henderson Gas Department. Within minutes, more than a dozen men were working in extreme conditions to dig up a gas supply to the main line and to keep the fire from spreading to the entire house, as we watched the nightmare from the safety of a neighbor's driveway. After a little over an hour, a kind fireman walked us into our damaged house to show us the damage from the fire.
We feel very blessed to have had such wonderful men working so hard to save our home. The Fire Department and city of Henderson departments handled our disaster that night and also came back the following days to inspect, repair and replace lines and equipment as well as to just check on us. To only say that all of these people were professional, compassionate and efficient would be an understatement. They were our guardian angels.
During the fire, we contacted our local Kentucky Farm Bureau Insurance Company's Roger Campbell, who assured us that they would be with us the next morning. Just barely 10 hours after having to escape our home, we had an insurance agent and Robbie Mills of Nu-Look Restoration talking with us about immediate plans to repair the damage. And now, only a few weeks after our fire, we are just almost back to normal.
To all of these people and our friends and neighbors, we are thankful for their hard work, caring and support. We know that in Henderson we have a lot of angels watching over us. Merry Christmas, everyone!

As blogging becoming so popular nowadays, earn money online wouldn't be complete without introducing this. I briefly touched blogging in my previous posts. After realizing the potential to make money with blogs, I decided to pursue this topic even further. In fact, I am making good money from this blog. If I can do it, so can you!
I recently came across a blogging course, called "John Yeo's Bloggers Paycheck". I think it is very well written and very descriptive. I would recommend this course to anyone who is starting to start a blog/website or anyone who wants to earn money from their blogs. So if you are generating a very good income from your blogs already, then this course is not for you.
I will give a brief John Yeo's Bloggers Paycheck Review in this post. But first of all who is John Yeo? He started blogging in 2006 as a complete beginner. After years of experimenting and hardworking, he turned his first blog Romance-fire.com into one of the most successful wedding blogs in the industry. Now he is sharing the experience with you and is going to help you step by step to create a successful website.
John Yeo's Blogger's Paycheck course contains 5 Volumes.
Volume 1 teaches you how to set up your blog completely from scratch. The explanation is very easy to understand even for people who have no experience at all. John Yeo also gives some advice picking the topic of your blog and writing blog posts. If you are lazy and don't like to write, the course shares where you can find other people to write posts for you.
Volume 2 teaches you how to bring traffic to your site and also how to track the info. Several traffic sources are introduced and places where you can submit your site for free. You will also learn how to exchange links with other webmasters to get more traffic and higher search engine rankings.
Volume 3 is about Marketing Online. This volume's purpose is to help you gain a even bigger exposure to your blog. Some topics include Reaching your target audience, free advertising, email marketing, building an online community, search engine optimization and branding.
Volume 4 teaches you how to monetize your blog, basically how to make money from your site. John Yeo mostly talked about selling links and where to find sponsors to advertise on your site. He shared several sites where you can find potential link buyers. I find them very useful.
Volume 5 shares 16 tips for your long term success, like advice on time management and how to maximize your efforts.
Overall, I would say John Yeo's Bloggers Paycheck is a very decent course for beginner and some intermediate level bloggers. If you have been blogging for years and have been making decent money from your blogs as well, then you probably already know the stuff he's talking about.
You can get the Five Volumes of John Yeo's Bloggers Paycheck course Here.
I wish you good luck on making money with your blogs.
This seems like it would be a great systems to have. I'm looking right now.
