Kyolic®SUPER EPA Fish Oil Formulawith Aged Garlic ExtractTM

Healthy Heart & Brain FunctionWhat is Kyolic SUPER EPA Fish OilFormula with Aged Garlic ExtractTMand how does it work?SUPER EPA Formula is a convenient two in one,synergistic combination of molecularly distilled,deodourized fish oil concentrate, rich in Omega 3 fattyacids, odourless Aged Garlic ExtractTM and Vitamin E.These powerful ingredients have been combined toencourage a healthy cardiovascular system by blendingthe proven efficacy of Kyolic Aged Garlic ExtractTM witha premium / high concentration EPA natural fish oilthat together will help maintain healthy blood pressure,triglycerides, cholesterol levels and healthy joints andbrain function.

Research has shown that Kyolic® Aged Garlic ExtractTMhas many health benefits. Aged Garlic ExtractTM, alone,has been shown to target multiple areas of cardiovascularhealth, improving cholesterol, triglycerides, bloodpressure, homocysteine, circulation, LDL oxidation,platelet clumping & clotting, and plaque progression.

Fish oil concentrate is a rich source of the omega-3 fattyacids DHA (docosaheaenoic) and EPA (eicosapentaeonicacid). The body produces eicosanoids using omega-3fatty acids, which are potent substances that helpmaintain healthy blood, decrease cholesterol levels andreduce inflammation; omega 3 fatty acids are alsoimportant elements for healthy brain and nerve cellmembranes. In fact, over the last twenty years, fish oilhas been shown in clinical trials to decrease triglyceridelevels in blood, lowering LDL (bad cholesterol) while

increasing the HDL (goodcholesterol). In addition totheir heart healthy benefits, studies show fish oils canbe beneficial for controlling joint pain, Crohn’s disease,psoriasis, and depression.

Retaining wallsOften property grades do not lend themselves to an easy gardening or landscaping solution. When a grade is too steep, perhaps a retaining wall might be the best answer. It can offer support to the edge of a driveway, create a visible barrier to public sidewalks, or create an inviting welcome to your front door. Whatever its purpose, Oaks’ retaining walls can be designed to suit even the most challenging grade.

global Warming

in a nutshell

William gairdner July 9, 2010

I am far from an expert, although I do read a fair amount of the science on this topic, and have kept a sizeable file on the pros and cons over the years. My main concerns are the following. I think a good deal of the science is not up to a high standard, not because no earnest efforts are made, but because the subject matter (the entire earth and surrounding atmosphere) is far too vast, the number of fluctuating variables and the time spans too great, and the whole business is so shot through with political sensitivities (primarily of the anti-human, anti-population, anti-industry sort) that serious hypotheses can neither be framed nor tested in a controlled way.

On the political note, it is hard to escape the feeling that a great many global warming proponents are reflex leftists in their political beliefs and anywhere from mildly, to wildly anti-capitalist or even entirely opposed to all facets of western civilization. Spiritually speaking, they usually fall in the camp of neo-romantic nature-lovers who, like most of us, despair of seeing their sweet planet earth fouled with human garbage, toxins, effluent, poisons, and the like.

What follows is a critique of the so-called “global

warming” scare that has taken the world by storm. It took a lot of time and effort

to pull this together. I hope readers will agree it

is sufficiently comprehensive to put this whole topic in a

reasonable perspective.

Thedebate over so-called“globalwarming”isfrustrating.

The label “greenhouse gasses” was first used in the 70s to create the impression

that man was fouling the atmosphere with industrial gasses that were “trapping” heat on earth that would ordinarily escape into the upper atmosphere and dissipate

into space. But the fact is that most of the heat-trapping on earth (without which we would not have a habitable climate at all) is done by natural water vapour found in the air, especially in clouds, and also by carbon dioxide. Without this natural atmospheric “greenhouse” (relatively speaking, about the thickness of one layer of paint on a basketball) we would sizzle to a cinder by day and freeze solid by night. Oxygen and Nitrogen, the two other major atmospheric gasses, do not trap heat. And although Carbon Dioxide now has a bad name (I think a lot of people confuse it with Carbon Monoxide, a deadly gas) it is actually a richly life-enhancing substance (see below) without which there would be no organic life possible on earth. Indeed, all biological and plant life on earth is “carbon-based.” On this score, the current consensus is that the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has indeed been increasing over the past century, and that the earth’s temperature has also risen about a half a degree Celsius in the past century (after accounting for ups and downs). However, a major point of conflict in the search for the cause of this rise has to do with confusion over

What Are Greenhouse

Gasses?

What Is the Connection Between CarBon DIoxIDe and Temperature Change?

It is disputed. In Al Gore’s very slick film An Inconvenient Truth the central case presented was that the clear rise in atmospheric CO2 is the cause of a parallel rise in the earth’s surface temperature (but this is not so in the upper atmosphere, as mentioned above - on which fact Gore is slickly silent). However - it bears repeating - many climatologists of high repute insist the relationship is the reverse. To complicate matters, there has been a general warming trend for the past 300 years since the little-ice age, and CO2 levels have tended to track this. What greatly frustrates the prophets of doom in our midst, however, is the truth of the so-called “Medieval Warming Period” - a centuries long period over 1,000 years ago when the earth was much warmer than today - about 2 degrees C - in the complete absence of any man-made greenhouse gasses except from gaseous cows, horses, and humans. That was when the Vikings settled Greenland, then withdrew when another cooling

arrived. Even more embarrassing is the fact that scientists such as John Matthews from Canada’s geologic survey reported finding fossils of pine trees and even tropical vegetation and biological organisms in the high arctic, around Ellesmere island some 400 miles from the North Pole. And Ohio University’s Peter Webb the same year dug up 3 million year old roots and leaves of beech trees from a mountain 400 miles from the South Pole (Toronto Star, June 16, 1991). And ... fossils of dinosaurs found in the high Arctic are plentiful and on display in many museums. The arctic sea temperature 55 million years ago was around 18

degrees Celsius and later during what is called the “super-greenhouse” period, sea temperatures there rose to 23 degrees C. For a reality warp, try to imagine Eskimos

in bikinis! (National Post, June 1, 2006).

How Much CO2 Are We Talking About?

Amounts of CO2 (which amounts to about 0.07% of the entire atmosphere) are tallied in gigatons of Carbon (Gt C). A gigaton is a billion metric tons, or a trillion kilograms. The recent annual increase in global carbon attributed to man-made activities has been estimated at roughly 6.52 Gt C. But to understand what this means we have to ask how much natural Carbon there is to begin with, and where it is, and how fast it moves from place to place? Estimates are that the earth’s atmosphere contains around 750 Gt C; the surface of oceans contains about 1,000 Gt C; the intermediate and deep oceans about 38,000 Gt C; and the earth’s natural vegetation cover and other stuff lying around contains about 2,200 Gt C. And ... Carbon moves naturally from one place to another: about 90 Gt C per year move between oceans and air; about 60 Gt C between vegetation and air; about 50 Gt C between marine life and ocean surfaces; and between surface and deep ocean levels about 100 Gt C. So great is the

magnitude of these reservoirs of Carbon, and the rate of production and absorption between them that no accurate number can be placed on the amount of man-made Carbon present on earth. Nor can a source of the recent rise in atmospheric Carbon be determined. Reliable research tells us that in historical terms, concentrations of CO2 have varied widely over geological time, with peaks as much as twenty times higher than at present, and troughs at eighteenth-century levels. And incidentally, each human being exhales about 100,000 litres of CO2 per year, which comes to about a third of the amount expelled by the 500 million automobiles on earth, and to that we have to add the 150 Gigatons of CO2 from the breathing of the billions of animals on earth.

How Do Plants Respond to CO2 Enrichment?

Very favourably. Controlled Experiments with environments where plants such as orange trees and wheat are grown in, um, greenhouses, and force-fed Carbon at very high levels of enrichment, produce astonishing results - as much as tripling the rate of growth. In one experiment, sour orange trees had a growth rate 170% faster than normal and orange production was 127% greater. All plants seem to respond energetically to Carbon fertilization, especially trees, because carbon is a nutrient, or food for all organic life on earth, and not a pollutant or some evil gas as we tend to believe due to its recent bad press. Indeed, some reading around on this topic produces the feeling that the earth is presently carbon poor compared to its past, and that more of it would help feed millions of chronically hungry human beings.

some Quotes on Climate science FROm tHE tOP

Professor Willie soon, Astrophysicist, from the Harvard-Smithsonian Centre for Astrophysics, and co-author of a major Harvard study of 240 climate studies showing warming and cooling variability long before the industrial age, says that policy makers should use “strong caution in finding a human fingerprint” in climate change (National Post, April 8, 2007).

Professor Emeritus antonino Zichichi, Advanced Physics, University of

Bologna, and President of the World Federation of Scientists, complained of climate models in general, and of the IPCC report in particular, stating that models as were used in the IPCC

report “are incoherent and invalid from a scientific point of view.”

Patrick moore, co-founder of Greenpeace: “It’s a political activist movement,” and anyone who

disagrees with the anti-capitalist global-warming theory is considered “like a holocaust denier.”

Professor Reid Bryson, Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science on Global Warming: Man made global warming “is a theory for which there is no credible proof.” And on Al Gore’s movie An Inconvenient Truth: “Don’t make me throw up. It’s not science. It’s not true.”

Some Radical GReen Ideas

“Human happiness [is] not as important as a wild and healthy planet. We have become a plague

upon ourselves and upon the earth. Until such time as

homo sapiens should decide to rejoin nature, some of us can only hope for the right virus to come along.” David seems to imagine himself surviving the virus he is

wishing on the rest of us.

Just listen to some of these anti-humanist sentiments I found in my files, from when all this was getting revved up around 1993. Here is David Bower, anti-population spokesman for Friends of the Earth: “Childbearing should be a punishable crime against society, unless the parent holds a government licence.” And here is Carol Amery from the German Green Party who says that she and her colleagues “aspire to a cultural model in which the killing of a forest will be considered more contemptible and more criminal than the sale of six-year old children to Asian brothels.” Huh? I mean, that is a strange mind indeed: she does not imagine herself as one of those children. And hear also Stephanie Mills, a co-author of the book Whatever Happened to Ecology? who insists that “humanity is debased protoplasm.” Paul Watson of the Sea Shepherd operation told the press that “humanity is the AIDS of the earth.” And finally, and perhaps the most rabidly anti-human of them all, was this bit from David Graber, a research biologist with the American National Parks Service:

nearly a year later. This meant a day of assessment at the Rehab Solutions clinic located at Toronto Western Hospital, and then six weeks of rehab therapy at the RS clinic. The clinic’s rehab team helped John and the ten others in his group to determine their health goals, develop a strategy to reach them, and implement their strategy. They were also given customized physiotherapy programs. There was something different about the RS clinic’s approach to pain, John says. “The clinic staff told us that we could control our pain with our brain,” he says. “And that started with getting an insight into how pain was affecting our lives.” John says the staff helped them see how:• Their home life was being threatened by the “I can’ts”

that come with pain. “Would you help me paint this room?” they might be asked. “I can’t” was the response. “Could you take the kids for a day?” “I can’t.”

• Pain was hurting their self-esteem. They felt that people were suspicious of them, thinking that they were getting a free ride on the government’s tab.

• Pain was diminishing their hope for the future. With bureaucracies and employers determining their fate, putting them into various programs and changing their job responsibilities, they felt powerless.

“Getting an accurate picture of our situation was half the battle,” John says. He and his group went on to learn that “we should control our pain instead of letting it control us. We shouldn’t let pain keep us from doing what we enjoyed. For example, if we liked gardening, we could do so sitting down and in shorter stints.” He looks at the two worst years of his life with gratitude because “the rest of my life is going to be far happier than I ever dreamed possible.”

What would John like to say to others going through his situation?

“Carrying 260 pounds on your 200-pound frame isn’t doing you any favours,” John Hendricks’ doctor told him during his annual check-up, adding these unsettling words: “In fact, you’ll probably die young unless you do something about it, now.” John (not his real name) shed 60 pounds in six months. Asked for the secret of his success he says it wasn’t the diet and

exercise plan he developed and followed with discipline. It was what he had learned from UHN Rehabilitation Solutions several months earlier. John had been assigned for retraining by

the Workplace Safety & Insurance Board (WISB) of Ontario and entered a program at the UHN Rehabilitation Solutions clinic in Cambridge, Ontario. “I was a mess,” the tall 45-year old says with a sorrowful smile. “I had sustained three injuries over a two-year period working as a shipper with a small company. I was putting on weight because I was eating to make myself feel better and was moving as little as possible in order to avoid pain. I hadn’t even reached my mid-40s and I couldn’t play catch with my son.” John’s painful odyssey began two years before that. He injured his left knee slipping on a mat that was hanging out of his delivery truck door. Then, after a six months of surgery and physiotherapy, he fell coming down the stairs on crutches, reinjuring his nearly healed knee and injuring the other. It was the day of his mother-in-law’s funeral. His employer reassigned him to reduced hours at a desk, but John fought through the pain and was able to take up his delivery duties again. Trouble was brewing, however, because John was compensating for the pain in his knees by overusing his arms and shoulders. One day he threw a heavy box into his truck with one arm and tore his left shoulder. Half a year later, he injured his back when he tripped over his helper who stood up unexpectedly when he was supposed to be helping John lift a heavy box.

Gary’s Rules for Successful Business:

1 It’s not about me

2 Keep it simple and understandable

3 Clients should get more than they pay for

4 I would rather risk over-communication than under-communication

5 The root cause of all conflict is the violation of expectation. We set reasonable expectations and focus on exceeding them.

My Thoughts about the Real Estate businessMy job is to help people make informed decisions. Residential real estate is a very personal and emotional decision, and can be a source of stress that can cloud a person’s judgment. By asking intelligent questions up front, I help people understand what they are looking for, and how to go about finding it. The better I understand a person’s true needs and wants (and their fears and concerns), the better I can tailor my service to serve them

How I Differentiate My ServicesI work by referral to serve my client’s complete emotional and relational needs. I operate a “high touch” service model to ensure my clients receive not only the best real estate advice available, but also access to my network of professionals in a wide variety of services and professions. I can help clients buy or sell real estate anywhere in North America through my extensive network of colleagues I stay connected with. Clients get more than they pay for.

at a deeper level. Whether they are buying or selling, I lead my clients through a process that ensures nothing is left to chance. My services are designed to serve my client’s complete emotional and relational needs before, during, and particularly after each transaction. I stay connected through a system of regular contact – my Client Appreciation Program. Each month clients receive an item of value with information designed to help them with many aspects of life, including real estate.

Not only to I get to be in the room when they find out they have been successful in their transaction – I get to tell them about it!”
