Yup well done!- I like the time on..simple yet effective.

To live and breathe on this terrestrial ball.
another of my favorites.

I'm not to good at riddles either but this is my favourite-
Only one colour, but not one size,
Stuck at the bottom, yet easily flies,
Present in sun, but not in rain,
Doing no harm, and feeling no pain,
May 21st, 2006, 06:17 AM #11Originally Posted by Liana
one colour is black. the closer to the sun, the bigger it gets. rain clouds hide it and it can't feel anything or hurt anyone. is that right?

Yes that's right.
May 21st, 2006, 11:22 AM #13
Ok I've got one
I come in different shapes and sizes. Part of me are curves, others are straight. You can put me anywhere you like, but there is only one right place for me.
What am I?
May 22nd, 2006, 01:52 PM #14
Alive without breath,
As cold as death,
Never thirsty,
Ever drinking,
Clad in mail,
Never clinking,
Drowns on dry land,
Thinks an island,
Is a mountain,
Thinks a fountain,
Is a puff of air.
Now this one IS easy-even I got it first time-and yes you were all right on my previous ones.WELL DONE!

quote:No human metal had gone into the forging of that blade. It was alive with moonlight, translucent, a shard of crystal so thin that it seemed almost to vanish when seen edge-on. There was a faint blue shimmer to the thing, a ghost-light that played around its edges, and somehow Will knew it was sharper than any razor.
quote:Prologue: One of the questions I always have after reading this (fricking awesome opening BTW) is do the wights and Others bring the Winter or does the Winter bring the Others and the wights?
quote:seem[ing] to change color as it moved; here it was white as new-fallen snow, there black as shadow, everywhere dappled with the grey-green of the trees.[Page 8-9]
quote:a longsword like none Will had ever seen. No human metal had gone into the forging of that blade. It was alive with moonlight, translucent, a shard of crystal so thin that it seemed to almost vanish when seen edge-on....
quote:1. Does anyone think the Other's sword is made of obsidian? Or is it ice?
quote:Jon is the only one in the party who new Ghost was there. Not even Bran could sense him. So based off of this I came to two conclusions. Jon and Bran have the most power as far as Wargs go. All the children are specifically linked to their direwolves from the start. Each one was meant for a specific child, not just the albino Ghost.
quote:Ghost is found he wonders to himself how Ghost would be the only one who has opened his eyes (meaning he was born first). It is supposed that the 5 normal pups were born AFTER the mother direwolf had already been dead but if Ghost was born first it is very possible that he was born while the mother was still alive and that his birth is what sped along the mother's (Lyanna's) death.
quote:2. The antler in the throat of the direwolf is a reference to Robert's war being what ultimately killed Lyanna. If R+L=J is true, and I think all of the evidence points to that, then we can use the "bloody bed" references to infer that Lyanna died during Jon's birth.
quote:The question becomes, if Robert had never rebelled there would have been no reason to hide Lyanna in the Tower of Joy. She could've been kept at the Red Keep where she would've been surrounded by the best Maesters and would've received the necessary medical care to keep her alive during Jon's birth.
quote:Lyanna was being kept away from Mad King Aerys, as much as from soon-to-be King Bob. Remember, Aerys was keeping Elia, Rhaenys, and Aegon in the Red Keep because he did not trust Rhaegar. Also, the rebellion started well after Lyanna and Rhaegar disappeared. Rickard and Brandon Starked were killed when they went to look for Rhaegar at KL, and he had already left with Lyanna. And the rebellion didn't officially begin unitil Mad King Aerys called for the heads of Ned and Jon Arryn
quote:There came a soft knock on her door. "Come" Dany said, turning away from the window. Illyrio's servants entered, bowed, and set about their business. They were slaves, a gift from one of the Magister's many Dothraki friends.
quote:Lyanna was being kept away from Mad King Aerys, as much as from soon-to-be King Bob
quote:Those were Valyrian Steel blades.
quote:. The other's blade sounds suspiciously like Dawn, The Sword of The Morning.....
quote:No real way to tie them together.
quote:So my question is where do they get outfitted? We know that they don't magically receive them when they are transformed because Ser Waymar Royce is described as still wearing his tattered cloak and moleskin gloves when he turns. Plus he strangles Will instead of using his sword to kill him. So, is there an Other stronghold an "8 or possibly 9 day" ride from the Wall?
quote: Royce is just a wight though, not an other, he wouldn't be using an Other blade anyway.

Tuesday, February 12, 2013
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — All in all, Monday proved to be a painful night for the Boston Celtics.
The 7-foot Mullens hit 10 of 16 shots from the field, including 4 of 5 from 3-point range. Ramon Sessions had 19 points for the Bobcats, including the go-ahead jumper from 18 feet with 25.7 seconds left. Kemba Walker had 18 points, six assists and six rebounds, and Gerald Henderson chipped in with 16 points.
Jeff Green had 18 points for the Celtics and Pierce finished with 13 points, eight assists and eight rebounds.
Boston set up an inbounds play and Pierce got an open look but missed. He grabbed his own rebound and dished out to the wing for Bradley, but he missed a 3 as time expired. |

Pfeiffer's home (top and left) demonstrates how a Craftsman-inspired house can be infused with green strategies. The architect linked the home's watercooled air-conditioning system to the swimming pool (above left) to provide free pool heat in fall and spring, and the living/dining/kitchen area (above) opens onto a screened porch.
The Phipps Cannatti Residence (top) in Austin, Texas, achieved the highest possible rating in the city's Green Building Program. Inside, the house incorporates recessed fluorescent lighting, locally harvested wood flooring, and locally quarried limestone for the fireplace.
Earth Day—the first one, back in 1970—was a catalyst for Peter Pfeiffer, FAIA. Even as an impressionable high schooler, Pfeiffer had a taste for construction and an enthusiasm for environmental causes. That inaugural Earth-fest simply showed that his two interests could coexist.
But sustainable design wasn't a passing fancy for Pfeiffer, who has dedicated the past 29 years to developing and advancing building practices that follow green principles. As a college student he gravitated naturally to Arizona, where he spent a summer with Paolo Soleri. "He really turned a lightbulb on in me [and] made me realize that you can define architecture by its ability to work with its setting," Pfeiffer says. His academic foundation in building science at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute was bolstered by graduate work at the University of Texas at Austin. There he earned a master's degree in sustainable studies, working with a professor who wrote software to analyze energy use in buildings. "I found out that a single-pane window in the shade is more efficient than a double-pane window in the sun," he says of the experience.
In 1987, Pfeiffer teamed up with partner Alan Barley, AIA, to launch Barley & Pfeiffer Architects in Austin, Texas. Since then, the firm has been preoccupied with creating "high-performance homes," which Pfeiffer describes as comfortable, maybe even luxurious, energy-efficient homes that are healthier to live in and easier to maintain than conventional houses.
Pfeiffer's firm is a national trendsetter in the fields of energy and natural resource-conserving design, low-toxicity living environments, and green construction technology. Even though the architects load their houses with thermal-siphoning strategies, Formaldehyde-free damp-blown insulation, nontoxic termite treatments, rainwater-harvesting systems, and sustainably harvested woods, they still value—and deliver—good design. Says Pfeiffer: "It's the appropriate marriage of technology and aesthetics."

Arnold Arboretum
- Critics choice
- Free
The arboretum, one of the world's leading centres for plant study, was established in 1872. In a beautiful, 265-acre park setting, this living museum is administered by Harvard University. Open to the public, it provides the opportunity to see more than 7,000 specimens of trees and plants from around the world. Free guided tours are available on designated days throughout the year - phone for details. In May, Lilac Sunday is a day-long celebration of the fragrant, flowering shrub.
- 125 Arborway, (at Centre Street)
Rose Kennedy Fitzgerald Greenway
The Greenway is one of the most celebrated results of the now-infamous Big Dig (a kind of street-level answer to New York's High Line). Formed when I-93 was sunk underground, this verdant, mile-long ribbon of grassy parks and outdoor resting places invites the weary traveler (or office warrior) to stop and take a moment to appreciate the city's fleeting sunshine. There are also periodic festivals, events, and parades located on or near the park.
- Along Atlantic Avenue
Castle Island Park & Fort Independence
- Critics choice
- Free
South Boston lays claim to one of the city's most appealing shoreline parks: the 22-acre Castle Island. It's also among the oldest fortified military sites in North America, centerpieced by Fort Independence, a pentagonal granite structure that was finished in the 1850s. Prior to its construction, seven other forts had been built and destroyed in the area, occupied by American and British troops in turn. Today, the island's green space and open air make for a pleasant outing.

2014 marked the quiet demise worldwide of the traditional points system for selecting skilled immigrants. Canada, which in 1969 invented the points system, in 2015 will join other countries in adopting a hybrid system that places more emphasis on a demand-driven system. This article examines how following the economic crisis, governments have revamped, hybridized, or ended such programs.
With a range of policies in 2014, China sought to address changing large-scale migration patterns within the country and beyond. This year included promises to reform the hukou registration system and thus enable an estimated 100 million internal migrants to access social services in the cities where they live, schemes to entice the return of emigrant professionals, and crackdowns on corrupt officials who send their families and money abroad.
Pacific Islanders with criminal convictions have found themselves deported from Australia, New Zealand, or the United States, which have shifted their immigration enforcement priorities in recent years. This article explores the significant barriers to reintegration that criminal deportees in Pacific Island countries face upon their return, including difficulty accessing community networks and jobs.
Approximately one-third of the population of the Republic of the Marshall Islands, a series of islands and atolls in the Pacific, has relocated to the United States, with Hawaii, Guam, and Arkansas key destinations. Lack of economic and employment opportunities are among the leading factors that have prompted this migration. Access to education and health care, which are critically important for a population that has reduced life expectancy and significant negative health indicators, also represent key factors.
Internal migration spurred primarily by employment and marriage helps shape the economic, social, and political life of India's sending and receiving regions. Labor migrants face myriad challenges, including restricted access to basic needs such as identity documentation and social entitlements. This article describes the barriers to integration that labor migrants face, and details the policy environment surrounding their integration challenges.

Offering insights on migration issues affecting the Asia-Pacific region today, this event launches an issue brief that explores Asia-Pacific priorities for the 2014 Global Forum on Migration and Development and examines ways the GMFD can be a results-oriented forum.
This issue brief explores the Asia-Pacific region's active engagement in the Global Forum on Migration and Development and suggests modes of collaboration between governments and other migration stakeholders on issues that are particularly relevant to the region.
This MPI event, in partnership with the International Organization for Migration (IOM), discusses the critical issue of climate-related displacement in the Asia-Pacific region, focusing on the vulnerability of environmental migrants and how the international legal framework can better ensure their protection.
This issue brief addresses the rights of migrants whose movement is induced by environmental degradation or climate change, particularly in the highly vulnerable Asia-Pacific region. The brief evaluates the current international legal framework, identifies gaps in the framework and its implementation, and reviews options available to the international community.
This report, based on an undercover exposé of Punjabi visa agencies by The Sunday Times, sketches one immigration loophole into Europe: so-called "donkey flights" by which Indian migrants obtain a tourist visa for a Schengen-zone country in order to enter the United Kingdom through the back door. Thousands of visa agencies operate in the Punjab region alone, with varying degrees of legality, some having links to criminal smuggling networks across Europe.
As hundreds of migrants were drowning in the Mediterranean, the United Nations General Assembly was hours from gathering for only the second time in its history to address international migration. The juxtaposition threw a question into sharp relief: does the world body have any impact on the world's migrants?
This policy brief, which concludes a nine-brief series examining what is known about the linkages between migration and development, suggests that the policy framework on migration and development remains relatively weak, and few development agencies have made it a priority to promote the positive impact of international migration.
The Chair of the Global Forum on Migration and Development, along with the Special Advisor to the UN Special Representative for International Migration discuss what is expected from The UN High-Level Dialogue on Migration and Development in October 2013 and what impact it may have on the Global Forum on Migration and Development.

Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
Arthur C. Clark
I've often called mechanical engineers magicians because whenever I listen to them speak about what they do the only thing that comes to mind is magic. Much like the first time I looked at Engineering Fluid Dynamics (EFD). EFD is a different breed of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software. EFD shares the same mathematical background as CFD but 7 key technologies make doing fluid flow and heat transfer analysis much easier.
OK I know whenever some people hear the words easy-to-use and software in the same sentence they may think it is marketing-speak for dumbed-down. But EFD is not dumbed-down CFD. EFD just takes the pains associated with the "computational" side of using software and leaves the mechanical engineer with the ability to solve their design problem. Now mind you, the user still has to be a subject-matter expert … someone who is familiar with the physics and performance of the type of product that is being designed. Otherwise, you run the risk of garbage in, garbage out (which is what you'd get from any other tool).
The EFD 7 key technologies consist of :
- Seamless integration with major MCAD systems enables users to use MCAD geometry directly and without the hassle of translating geometry.
- An automatic rectangular adaptive mesher that can actually mesh real-world geometry takes away the pain of having to find the best possible mesh to obtain accurate results. Now this isn't a black-box approach… if you really want to tweak the mesh you can but if you'd rather not, then you don't have to. This concept reminds me of our car – it's got that fab S-Tronic twin-clutch transmission which is an automatic transmission that can change gears quickly. It basically gives you more power and control than traditional automatic transmissions but the neat thing about it is that you have the ability to use the "sport mode" where you can manually override the system if you decide you decide you need more control. Fantastic!
- Automatic modified wall function lets users obtain accurate simulations including near-wall boundary conditions without specialized expertise.
- Automatic determination of laminar, transitional and turbulent flow regimes so you wouldn't have to do it manually yourself! I've often heard people marvel at that because of the difficulty of figuring how to deal with those transitions with other tools.
- Real-time feedback about the solution progress such as the convergence of the solution residual errors etc ensure that the user gets engineering results in a timely manner.
- The cloning feature enables users to conduct what-if analysis without having to mess with setting up the model again for analysis. This technology in and of itself offers significant design time savings.
- And last but not least is an easy to use GUI which was developed by engineers _for_ engineers. The GUI is based on plain ol' English… wave goodbye to technical jargon like y+ value or Dirichlet Boundary Conditions and say hello to walls, inlets or outlets.
It's important to note that some vendors may have adopted one or two of these technologies but it's the unique combination of the 7 that make EFD truly and well magical.
Countless organizations around the world have discovered EFD and are using it on a day-to-day basis. One of my favorites is Eclipse Combustion.
Eclipse was commissioned to build a large air heater with gas burner which had a low operating temperature. Ad Heijmans, Development Manager at Eclipse explained: "the customer application required a temperature of 500°C with a temperature distribution of ±100°C to be achieved by mixing cold air with air at 1700°C from the Eclipse burner". The main challenge was to mix the hot and the cold air without cooling the flame too much and producing excess emission. To further complicate the matter, the customer needed to get a uniform temperature as fast as possible in as small a chamber as possible with minimum loss of pressure. I won't tell you how they actually met this challenge (for that you've got to click here ) but Mr. Heijmans' experience is typical of EFD users. "EFD is simple enough for any engineer to use" explains Heijmans who has a degree in chemical engineering. "The results are easy to understand and interpret by an engineer who is already familiar with the subject matter. With EFD we now can answer more customer questions and this ability is now a natural extension of our services." Better customer service is not the only benefit though… they've found that EFD now helps them proactively solve problems. "We initially decided to invest in this technology so we could solve problems but now we focus on finding issues before they became problems."
Now that's magic.
If you're ready for some magic, I suggest you start by taking a look at any of these multimedia resources. Hopefully, you'll find something you like.
Until next time,

Earthbound Expeditions Continues Environmental Commitment Fifth Year Carbonfree
Earthbound Expeditions believes that travel is more than a race to check off sites and monuments; that when done right – and responsibly - travel is perhaps the very best way to learn about different cultures and people without damaging their lands or the environment.
Through Earthbound's proud partnership with Carbonfund.org, Earthbounders are actively reducing their carbon footprint and helping to ensure that the planet's many wonders are preserved for future generations. The Carbonfund.org motto, "reduce what you can; offset what you can't," fits perfectly with Earthbound Expeditions' long established philosophy of supporting locally-owned businesses, promoting education and embracing the concept of "slow" travel.
By using Carbonfund.org's easy-to-use carbon calculator, Earthbound Expeditions is able to determine the size of your carbon footprint for any specific trip. Earthbound then sets aside a portion of the trip proceeds and purchases carbon credits that support renewable energy, energy efficiency and reforestation projects.
Over its five years as a Carbonfree® Business Partner, Earthbound Expeditions has neutralized over 7 million pounds of greenhouse gases, the same quantity of emissions as sequestered by planting 82,500 tree seedlings and growing them for ten years.
Earthbound is committed to supporting environmental education, community businesses and providing travelers with a one-of-a-kind, authentic travel experience while offsetting guests' carbon footprint. Earthbounders stay in locally owned hotels, utilize the talents of locally trained lecturers, dine in small, family-owned establishments and support projects like the Alamar Organopónico Co-op farm in Cuba and the Greening Project in South Africa. In addition to regularly scheduled trips, Earthbound Expeditions also offers custom, hand-crafted overseas adventures for schools, universities, garden clubs, families and public radio stations.
Travel is often a life-changing experience. When you join Earthbound Expeditions, you can be confident that you are supporting local businesses, workers, schools and communities, while knowing that the carbon emissions generated by your travel are responsibly neutralized through the partnership between Earthbound Expeditions and Carbonfund.org.
Indigenous Designs Weaves in Commitments to Artisan Fair Trade and Eco-Sustainability
Like many of us who've had the opportunity to travel to other countries, Scott Leonard was profoundly affected by his trip to South America back in 1993 where he encountered the priceless beauty of clothes produced by local artisans. The richness of the culture and the amazing knitting techniques prompted him to bring back more than a souvenir to his Northern California home. He returned with a vision to pioneer a new business model. He would invite customers to wear ethically made clothing—fashion that demonstrates a commitment to those who created the designs, as well as to the environment that supports us all.
Together, Scott and co-founder Matt Reynolds have helped form a scalable artisan network through the INDIGENOUS clothing line that reflects a commitment to sustainability, social entrepreneurship and responsible actions by consumers and business alike.
By designing clothes made with organic cotton and natural fibers, Scott and Matt hadn't just made a smart move for the planet; they were making a savvy business decision as well. After all, organic clothes will never go out of fashion. That's because organic clothing supports people and planet, keeping toxins off our bodies and out of our environment.
This year, INDIGENOUS expanded its environmental stewardship by joining the Carbonfree® Business Partnership program. Through Carbonfund.org's carbon reduction and clean air projects, INDIGENOUS is able to neutralize its operational emissions while supporting innovations in energy efficiency, renewable energy and forestry preservation projects.
Earlier this spring, INDIGENOUS was recognized for its positive overall social and environmental impact, receiving a "best for the world" scoring in the top 10% among Certified B Corporations.
Scott Leonard and Matt Reynolds, along with their passionate tribe of "style ambassadors" and fair trade artisan partners, strive to transform the often opaque fashion industry into one respected for producing beautiful and trendy clothes through transparent, ethical and eco-friendly methods. Carbonfund.org is proud to partner with INDIGENOUS in its effort to lead the fashion industry towards sustainable business practices.
New Retail Channel ClimateStore.com Becomes a Carbonfree® Partner
ClimateStore Inc., located in Boston, MA, officially became a Carbonfree® Partner with CarbonFund.org. The newly launched retail brand has a mission to make it fun and easy for people to reduce their carbon footprint, and launched its on-line brand, climatestore.com, this past Earth Day. The company seeks to close a gap in the retail space, namely, the lack of an easily recognizable retail brand focused entirely on climate change.
ClimateStore hopes to tap into a growing market of climate conscious consumers, and carbon offsets play an important role in its sustainability strategy. To help realize its mission, ClimateStore purchased offsets from a portfolio of reforestation and forest conservation projects to offset emissions from its operations including energy use at its offices, freight and parcel shipping, employee commutes, and business travel. The company also relies on partnerships with like-minded organizations, like Carbonfund.org and 1% for the Planet, to support climate change awareness programs and forest conservation initiatives.
"With the recent release of the latest UN IPCC report and U.S. National Climate Assessment, there can be no doubt this is a critical issue current for future generations. More people are asking what they can do to reduce their carbon impact" says Steven E. Bushnell, Ph.D., Founder and CEO of ClimateStore Inc. "There is a false perception that moving to a lower carbon economy will require giving things up or need extra effort. We take the opposite view; lowering one's carbon footprint should be fun, easy and rewarding as we collectively secure the stable climate we all hope to live in."
The ClimateStore.com website provides summaries of climate science, issues an urgent call for action, suggests plans to reduce personal carbon emissions, and provides products to help people achieve a lower carbon footprint. The company launched with about 250 carbon saving products, including: energy efficient lighting, water saving devices, smart home technology, home décor, laundry items, travel gear and accessories. Each product is evaluated by ClimateStore staff to identify exact how it saves carbon - including the production, use, and disposal phases of the product's lifecycle - and communicate their findings with a simple icon system and detailed product descriptions.

This leadership in creative and effective construction defect case settlement parallels the firm's leadership in its ongoing commitment to maintaining environmentally sustainable business operations.
Six years ago, Benson, Kerrane, Storz & Nelson, P.C. committed to offset 100% of its carbon footprint created by office activities, including electric usage and business car travel, in partnership with Carbonfund.org. Each year, the firm makes a donation to Carbonfund.org to neutralize its annual estimated operational emissions by supporting third-party verified renewable energy, energy efficiency, and reforestation projects.
To date, the firm's carbon footprint offsets have neutralized almost 1.4 million pounds of greenhouse gases, the same quantity as is sequestered in a year by five acres of US forest lands preserved from conversion to cropland.
"We are excited to continue our partnership with Carbonfund.org," states Doug Benson, Founding Partner. "We hope that our commitment to offset our carbon footprint will serve as an example to other law firms, community associations and their vendors."
Carbonfund.org is proud to partner with Benson, Kerrane, Storz & Nelson in their ongoing efforts to maintain environmentally responsible business operations.

Companies Beginning to Embrace Transparency on Climate Change Policies
Last month there was a question as to whether or not Ford lobbied Congress on the Keystone XL Pipeline. However, publically the automakers' sustainability marketing promises to help achieve "climate stabilization". In the US, companies have to disclose the subject of their lobbying, but do not have to disclose the position for which they are lobbying. This incomplete reporting raises consumer and investor concerns. Smart businesses are beginning to embrace transparency on climate change policies.
Take Ikea Group, for example. The company recently released this infographic to transparently share their position on climate change. In it, IKEA explained why climate change is relevant to its business interests. And they not only made it clear where they stand on the issue and which policy actions they support, they also communicated the message directly to European policymakers. IKEA is lobbying for ambitious, legally-binding 2030 targets for carbon dioxide emissions, renewable power and energy efficiency.
Not all companies take a black or white stance on global warming. Some are merely silent on the issue. There are a multitude of reasons including fear of publically taking a position on a political topic that might push away customers. Some businesses are grappling internally with climate change's risks and opportunities, putting out consistent messaging, and trying to find the capacity to publically engage on the issue. Whatever the reason, it is certainly delaying much needed political breakthroughs on climate change.
Although businesses fall different places on the continuum of how to publically address climate change, there are resources available to help them engage responsibly with the issue. Take this guide that is a baseline for action and transparent reporting from the World Resources Institute, which was informed by the United Nations and business leaders, policymakers, and investors.
With the release of the latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report, companies can expect more scrutiny from customers, shareholders and stakeholders regarding their position on global warming. Businesses can make a positive impact on the issue and the time to start acting is now.
Teas Etc. Begins Seventh Year as Carbonfree® Business Partner
One cup of premium loose leaf tea inspired Beth Johnston to get into the tea business, and environmental responsibility drives the company's commitment to organic teas, sustainability practices and Carbonfree® business operations.
"Conserving our planet's precious resources has always been a personal concern for me. With our continued expansion, both importing and shipping customer orders, I felt a further responsibility to take it on corporately," says Beth Johnston, Founder and CEO. "We had been looking for an effective way to offset the impact Teas Etc. has on the environment but also wanted to give our customers the choice to offset theirs. We did our homework, looked at a couple of different options and decided that Carbonfund.org was the right partner to help us meet our goals."
For the seventh consecutive year, Teas Etc. is offsetting its own carbon footprint with Carbonfund.org by supporting renewable energy, energy efficiency and reforestation projects. In an effort to generate greater awareness about sources of carbon emissions, Teas Etc. offers customers the option of offsetting the carbon footprint created by shipping their orders. To date, Teas Etc. and its customers have neutralized the same quantity of emissions as would be sequestered by almost 11,000 tree seedlings grown for ten years.
Teas Etc is has provided premium quality award winning teas and modern accessories to wholesale and retail customers for over 15 years. The company is USDA certified to package and to distribute organic products, and has a complete line of organic teas. In addition to their tea line, the company manufactures the innovative, award winning Tea Traveler® that allows tea drinkers to enjoy loose leaf teas on-the-go. The company opened in 1998 with its headquarters in Palm Beach, FL has an office in Nanjing, China and a permanent show room at AmericasMart in Atlanta, GA.
In addition toCarbonfree® operations,Teas Etc. supports a local recycling program, utilizes recycled paper goods, biodegradable packing materials and chemical-free cleaning products. Their ongoing commitment to environmental sustainability, high quality products and excellent customer services confirms Teas Etc. as a leader in responsible online premium loose leaf tea retailing and wholesaling.
Fireclay Tile Neutralizes Annual Operational Emissions with Carbonfund.org
When Carbonfund.org Foundation was created ten years ago with the motto "reduce what you can, offset what you can't™", we knew we were positioning ourselves as the last-in-line solution in sustainability plans. The climate change education component to our mission is a very important one, and a significant portion of our website is dedicated to providing ways that businesses and individuals can reduce their carbon footprint before considering carbon offsetting strategies.
This approach has attracted businesses that take seriously their responsibility to seek out recycling, reuse, energy efficiency and emissions reduction opportunities. Fireclay Tile, a California-based sustainable tile manufacturer, is a great example.
"We are scavengers at heart and scrappy when it comes to saving resources; therefore we are committed to finding new and innovative ways to reuse cast off materials, and to incorporate sustainability into all levels of our manufacturing process, explains Eric Edelson, CEO of Fireclay Tile. "We chose to partner with Carbonfund.org simply because tile is heavy, and we wanted to offset the carbon footprint created by shipping our tile all over the world."
Fireclay Tile's Carbonfree® Business and Shipping program is a final step in the company's commitment to environmental sustainability. Fireclay uses Carbonfund.org's online business calculator to compute annual carbon emissions from office energy usage, business travel, and product shipping and delivery. The resulting offset donation supports forestry initiatives around the world that sequester carbon dioxide in formal third-party validated, verified and audited projects.
Fireclay's unique process includes made-to-order tile using recycled materials and sustainable manufacturing practices in their California operations. Their recycled clay body boasts of over 70% recycled materials, which include post-consumer glass, granite dust, and porcelain from toilets collected to back water conservation efforts in the Bay Area. Fireclay's glass tiles line is composed of 100% recycled glass from local window and solar panel production industries.
Fireclay maintains onsite recycling practices that include water reclamation at cutting and mixing stations, along with rainwater capture at their Aromas, CA factory. Glaze overspray is captured at each glazing station and is included with all scrap material and anything considered defective, then crushed into an aggregate for making the recycled clay. All orders are packaged for shipment using 100% recycled boxes, reused shipping crates, and sawdust from a local furniture manufacturer used to cushion shipments.
A fine example of "reduce what you can, offset what you can't™", Fireclay Tile is walking the walk, and Carbonfund.org is proud to assist in that last step.

A renal biopsy is the removal of a small piece of kidney tissue for examination.
Renal biopsy; Biopsy - kidney
A kidney biopsy is done in the hospital. The two most common ways to do a kidney biopsy are percutaneous and open. These are described below.
Percutaneous biopsy
Open biopsyIn some cases, your doctor may recommend a surgical biopsy. This method is used when a larger piece of tissue is needed.
After percutaneous or open biopsy, you will likely stay in the hospital for at least 12 hours. You will receive pain medicines and fluids by mouth or through a vein (IV). Your urine will be checked for heavy bleeding. A small amount of bleeding is normal after a biopsy.
Follow instructions about caring for yourself after the biopsy. This may include not lifting anything heavier than 10 pounds for 2 weeks after the biopsy.
Tell your health care provider:
Numbing medicine is used, so the pain during the procedure is often slight. The numbing medicine may burn or sting when first injected.
After the procedure, the area may feel tender or sore for a few days.
You may see bright, red blood in the urine the first 24 hours after the test. If the bleeding lasts longer, tell your health care provider.
Your doctor may order a kidney biopsy if you have:
An unexplained drop in kidney function
Blood in the urine that does not go away
Protein in the urine found during a urine test
A transplanted kidney, which needs to be monitored using a biopsy
A normal value is when the kidney tissue shows normal structure.
An abnormal result means there are changes in the kidney tissue. This may be due to:

5 Guarenteed Game of the Year CandidatePhoenixJR | 24/09/2010 | See all PhoenixJR's reviews (6)I was lucky enough to be able to experience the demo to this game thanks to PlayStation Plus.The game instantly grips from the outset. If you like fantasy, and the action genre this is one for you. At best I could say it is similar to God of War, but Hideo Kojima's expertise makes it feel more epic, an impressive feat if you have played GoW.I also felt more at ease with the controls, and the camera than that of GoW.The voice acting involves some big guns, Sir Patrick Stuart and Robert Carlyle to name the most famous, so you know there will be no cheesey moments and a beautifully narrated game.The visuals and the music are both breathtaking.With vampires and werewolves very popular at the moment, this game is sure to be a huge success. Buy it, but it now! =D
5 The Lord Of Adventure GamesGiantHogweed | 03/12/2010 | See all GiantHogweed's reviews (1)With this game now finished, I can say that without a doubt, this is an easy game of the year contender.In an age where single player games are being whittled down to a four hour run about, that this was an easy 20 hours of pure epic. Sure it slows down a bit for the final level or two, but I never felt as I was having to grind my way forward. It was tough, and indeed some of the bosses could have gone down quicker, but it always played a fair hand.The combat is regularly enhanced with fresh combos and enemy types, and the puzzles were a good blend of the traditional and the modern. Likewise, the environments never stuck around for long. There was a real sense of progression throughout the game and they've clearly taken a look at how Santa Monica Studio made God of War look as breathtaking as it did.The titan boss fights were excellent too, and whilst they're never on the same scale as the aforementioned GoW3, they're certainly bigger and more entertaining than most modern bosses.All in all, whilst the opening and final levels missed a beat or two, and the difficulty ramps up a little too quickly (before you get the combos needed to make a good fight of it) this is easily one of the most finely crafted adventure games of it's generation, never leaving the player without a new task ahead of them, or a new environment to do it in. Wrap all that up in a suitably fantastical story and give it production values to rival the biggest names in the business, and you've got a game that anyone with a taste for adventure should stump up for.
3 Looks aint everythingKreemK | 23/11/2010 | See all KreemK's reviews (68)I played the demo and thought 'meh' - I decided I would take a punt on the full game - absolutely hate it. Graphically it's brilliant, but it's the frustrating combat that spolis it - a lot of the time the action is so fast and the camera pulls back to such a degree that it's very hard to make out your character let alone block attacks. The whole game is just a poor GOW wannabe - a shame, because with just a tiny tweaking it could have been exceptional.Graphics - 9/10Sound - 8/10Gameplay - 4/10
5 this game is ..........wickedionlysellgames | 03/11/2010 | See all ionlysellgames's reviews (10)everythink about this game is wicked ....... camra problems?? its not that bad . yes it would have been better with a full 360 but it is what it is ...........buy it now and get ready for the ride ... on .... spiders...egales....and much more ..... lol ......enjoy .
5 BEST GAME EVER PLAYEDkratos1 | 09/10/2010 | See all kratos1's reviews (10)Castlevania lords of shadow is one of the best games ive played, it lends from other games such as god of war uncharted etc, but refines there best bits, it is sure to be this years sleeper hit. it is trully draw dropping to play or sit back and watch someone else play it makes most films look like b movies i cannot say anything negative about this game buy it now or miss out.
