About ChrisH
Now, technically, these states are on reasonably firm legal ground, even if they're on completely illogical common sense ground. While US copyright law is clear that works of the federal government are not covered by copyright, that's not the case for state or local governments.
Even if though they're not excepted from copyright, I wonder how this would stand up to the question of copyrightability. Statements of facts are not copyrightable, so I'm wondering if that would be the most logical defense in this case.
Also, notice how many items in the grocery store are labeled "All Natural". They do that because while it conjures up a nice image for you, unlike labels such as "Organic", the word "natural" has no regulation whatsoever by the Food and Drug Administration. Any edible product at all can be labeled "All Natural" without running afoul of the law.
Modern processed food is complete crap. As fewer and fewer people cook for themselves, the less questions they think to ask about what they're putting in their mouths. Did you know the majority of the money you pay for a box of corn flakes goes to advertising? Did you know ingredients used in "processing" are never included on the ingredient label even though they end up in the food? You might also think simple produce items aren't processed, but many of them from cuts of raw meat to heads of broccoli have been soaked in acid. The acid improves the shelf life but the taste and nutrition suffers. Hope your not one of the growing number of people allergic to these chemicals. Don't bother asking the store. The long supply chain in today's food market ensures the store knows next to nothing about what's actually in the food their selling. Meat is often treated with carbon monoxide to make it look fresher. The modern food industry is all about deceiving the consumer.
Forget or not, we're all probably going to repeat it.
"All this has happened before, and all this will happen again."
I doubt that it's really possible today to go the other direction. Even if one country reverted to having a much smaller central government through a violent upheaval, it would eventually be conquered or absorbed by one of the remaining countries with a much stronger government. To truly go backwards, it would have to happen on a global scale, but what's the point since the size and scope of government will just naturally increase again?
I agree. The real question we should be asking is if we are getting good value (in terms of lost liberty and monetary costs) for the security measures we have. For example I think the TSA is a complete waste of money and turns air travel into a humiliating experience but I'm perfectly fine with having to drive on the right side of the road instead of it being a choice.
Said the man who helped setup a federal government that did exactly that, trade liberty for security.
While we're at it, let's tackle the notion that more laws passed = better legislature. I figure if the laws weren't crap to begin with, they wouldn't need to rewrite them so often. It's certainly not a given that the more new laws passed the better, usually the opposite is true when it comes to technology. Sorry of going off topic.
Good question. What about increasing the delay from when the light turns red and the light for the cross street turn green? I'm sure when faced with these choices, the revenue generating aspect of the cameras will factor in.
I don't believe that anyone would intentionally run a red light, at least not after it has been red for a few seconds and the cross traffic has started to move. I can only imagine that those people must have gotten distracted and not seen the red light at all. Wouldn't the cameras have no effect then? Maybe the thought of the tickets sits in the back of people's mind and raises their alertness around intersections. Not saying it actually works, just a theory.
How can that be? There would be a large area before the intersection where it would be theoretically impossible for you not to go through an amber light, even if you were going less than the speed limit. For example, if you were driving 55 mph on a wet road and the light turned yellow, you would need to be at least 350 feet away from the intersection to have a chance of stopping in time.
Yes, it really is when you consider that something like 70+ percent of red light citations are issued for not stopping long enough (whatever that means) while turning right on red. Most of the rest of them are for violations that occur less than half a second after the light changes. That may be a technical violation but it is not dangerous because traffic on the other side won't be moving yet.
I can see why this could be dangerous. It's not the traffic that's stopped. If you're making a right-on-red, there could be pedestrians in the crosswalk. If you're rushing to turn before the other traffic goes you're not going to be paying as much attention to the crosswalk and will be more likely to hit someone.
Actually, the article doesn't say the opposite. It says the number of accidents have increased. That's the only statistic it mentions. The quote from AC says they have reduced the running of red lights.
How about Wikipedia for a reference?
Most of the referenced studies show a reduction in injuries by around 30%. Focusing on the number of accidents misses the most important part of the story. The point of the cameras is not to reduce accidents but to reduce injuries. Intellectually honest observers can see the difference between these two measurements.
I've been waiting for more products like this to come out.
We had red light cameras here in Houston, TX. Instead of a photo, it recorded about 5 seconds worth of video which they send you as part of the ticket. I'm sure you could have the video reviewed by the court if you wanted to contest it. Maybe it doesn't work this way everywhere but an officer reviews the videos and decides whether or not to send a ticket. The cameras were eventually removed by a ballot initiative.
Statistics are tricky things. People read that the cameras have increased accidents and conclude that they're reducing safety. But are all accidents equal? If you only look at those accidents involving injury, the cameras have actually reduced those accidents. It's pretty obvious what's happening. People are stopping quickly to avoid the tickets which is increasing the number of rear-end collisions. At the same time, the number of T-bone collisions have gone down since people are more aware of the lights, leading to less serious injuries.
please correct me (in a non-longwinded fashion) if I'm wrong
You're wrong.
A MAC can be changed, but Amazon has no idea what yours is. The account is most likely tied to a combination of your email, name, credit card, and postal address. Change enough of those and they won't know it's you.
With free software, you only agree to the license if you want to redistribute. If your just downloading it to use, you own it (that copy anyway). It's not licensed.
gave up your rights when you hit the "accept" button
So it would follow that you had those rights (ownership) before you hit the "accept" button. Then what are you gaining by accepting? If nothing, then it's not a valid agreement. That's one of many reasons why an honest reading of the law says EULAs are bull#&*%, but the argument continues to be they must be enforceable or the economy will collapse and so judges enforce them, well many of them anyway.
Less literally, it means that actually finding and forcibly erasing backed-up media in someone's home is so difficult that for most practical purposes, you do own them.
To me it also means that within the huge legal fog that is digital media rights, a party ought to act in their own best interest to the fullest extent practically possible. You can be sure that any media company interprets the law in their own interest, operating as close to the edge as possible and sometimes over (Sony rootkits).
won't stop you
Techdirt has been warning people for several years that they don't really own the ebooks they have on their Amazon Kindles.
You do if you back them up. Possession is 9/10 of the law.
I'd like to see this same legal theory applied to weatherman. Talk about creating new jobs...

Olympus launched its Micro Four Thirds range with the prestigious Pen E-P1 and Pen E-P2 models, which traded heavily on the company's film-camera heritage. The new, 12.3-megapixel Pen E-PL1, however, is the version for the man and woman on the street. It's more cheaply made, so it's less expensive, at around £550 with the 14-42mm kit lens. It's also more basic -- or is it?
Cheaper but more cheerful
You might imagine that Olympus would have dropped a few features with its lower-cost Micro Four Thirds camera. A quick check of the exterior reveals fewer controls and a more plasticky finish.
But, when you actually look at what the camera has and what it does, a different picture emerges. In fact, the E-PL1 does everything the others do, as well as offering a built-in flash. The flash isn't that powerful compared to a digital SLR's, but it's as good as anything you'll find on a compact camera, and it's always good to have one for emergencies, even if you don't use it that much.
The E-PL1 really does feel quite different to the E-P1 and E-P2. The plastic construction is initially rather disappointing, but the camera is lighter, narrower and taller, and handles rather better than the other two.
It's the same story with the controls. They're more basic and more cheaply made, but they're actually much more efficient. Olympus has ditched the two rather awkward rotary controllers seen on the E-P1 and E-P2 and used straightforward, four-way navigation buttons instead. They're clear and simple, and work better. Changing the shutter speed and aperture in manual mode, for example, means pressing buttons instead of spinning dials, but that's no great hardship.
The 720p high-definition movie mode is rather good too, because it offers full manual control over shutter speed, aperture and focusing. You have to remember to set the autofocus to continuous mode before you start shooting if you want to use it, and you have to dip into the menus to choose the exposure mode, but all that's quickly learned. The result is an excellent stills camera that's also an HD camcorder suitable for seasoned video enthusiasts. You can shoot full-resolution stills in the middle of a clip, too.
The E-PL1's stills are excellent too. Micro Four Thirds sensors have come a long way since the early days, but more through evolution than revolution. The E-PL1's 12.3-megapixel sensor and 14-42mm kit lens match the best APS-C-format dSLRs for image quality. The camera's pictures are rich, saturated and sharp, and it has one of the best kit lenses around.
Gripes of wrath
This kit lens is the source of one of the E-PL1's few irritations, though. When it's 'folded', it looks great, but you have to unlock it with a catch to start shooting, which is a drag. It also extends to twice its folded length and looks like a pile of pants. Still, it works, and it takes extremely good pictures.
The other annoyance is that you have to press the zoom button repeatedly in playback mode, instead of just holding it down. But this is a very minor complaint.
So what if the Olympus Pen E-PL1 looks rather plasticky compared to its predecessors? In terms of design, features and everyday functionality, it makes the E-P1 and E-P2 look over-engineered, over-designed and overpriced. If only Olympus had built the E-PL1 right at the start.

With over 10 years of software development experience Cafe Silencio provides custom software development & consulting for forward thinking small and medium sized businesses using a variety of technologies.
Cafe Silencio can provide you with valuable consultation in developing your technology solution. You're obviously an expert in your business but you likely don't have the time to become a technology expert. Your life will be made easier by hiring a software development company that listens to your needs and helps you to understand your options.
Do you need a new internal business application designed and created?
Or perhaps you have an existing business application that needs to be modernized.
Your staff should be using software that is user friendly, modern feeling, and productive. It should be easy for new staff members to learn how to use and it should increase the productivity of your employees.
Cafe Silencio can help you create software that helps your business succeed within a budget you can afford. Make sure you and your staff have the tools necessary to achieve the success you're working so hard for.
Do you have a great idea for a software product?
Cafe Silencio can help you shape your idea into a product you can quickly bring to market on time and within your budget. You need a technology partner that is as innovative as you are and has the same passion for your great idea that you have. Cafe Silencio will assist through every stage of the development from brainstorming feature ideas through design and development in order to make your software dream a reality.
Do you have an existing application that needs new life breathed into it?
By reinvesting in an existing application with a more modern user interface and improved usability can bring new returns on legacy software. So much of people's opinion is dependent on appearances. Under the hood your application might still be the same force it was the day you released it but if the UI looks "vintage" it may be hurting your sales. Cafe Silencio can port your application to the Adobe AIR platform and you can re-release it, re-brand it, and collect new returns on your software.
Of course a face lift isn't restricted to commercial software. By redesigning internally used software you can improve productivity and make applications easier to learn by new hires.

Abnormal vaginal bleeding can relate to an issue with your reproductive system (a gynecologic condition) or to other medical problems or certain medications.

Norwegian Buhunds are a mid-size active herding breed. They were used for herding sheep and cattle and hunting birds in their country of origin. They are devoted to their families, love kids, and are very intelligent. Buhunds do well in agility and obedience, but need a firm trainer as they learn quickly what they can get away with. Their coat is easy to care for, but they do shed twice a year like most breeds. Their main drawback is barking, which is how they warn their family of things going ...

This was our first time at a Bobby
Van Steakhouse Restaurant. For appetizer, my husband and I tried the sweet chili tossed calamari; my husband had Harry's salad; and we both had the surf & turf, lobster & filet mignon. We finished with the warm chocolate brownie/cake with vanilla ice cream. Overall, the meal was very good and the waiter and other support keep the level of service at an acceptable pace. However, not sure if this was because the restaurant was not busy when we were there, or if this is the norm."
Dined on 3/8/2014
Always worth the trip. Excellently
prepared dishes and a very attentive and professional staff. The seafood tower was a nice appetizer offering an assortment of lobster, crab meat and shrimp. I also had the Australian grass-fed rib-eye that was cook excellently with a unique seasoning. And the lava cake for dessert was a great way to finish."
Dined on 3/8/2014
Took my client from Phoenix for
dinner. He's not a real steak lover....but BV changed his attitude. Steaks were moist, tender, and ample. Sides substantial. And don't forget both types of calamari!! Leave room for dessert....if you can."
Dined on 3/5/2014
Excellent food ! Negatives: 1.
Boisterous noise in the large hallway sized room to the right of the host station on entry to the restaurant. 2. Service was mixed. We were assigned a young woman and happy to see the diversity it represented. However, her service was poor, and before we said anything to mgmt she was replaced by an energetic, efficient, hospitable young man.who provided excellent service for the rest of dinner. 3. . Tonight we did not want to order wine by the bottle but there was limited choice of wines by the glass. More wines--and better wines--by the glass would have been appreciated. But all in all, a very positive experience, and we will return."

meal....again!...at Bobby Vans. Would go again."

Great dinner. Ordered the
Porterhouse for 2 and the steak was well seasoned. Also had the marcapone Mac and cheese which was delicious. The asparagus however was bland. Would come back for a special occasion."
Dined on 3/2/2014
Great spot for a date night or
getting together with friends. Prompt, courteous, and knowledgeable staff and excellent food."
Dined on 2/27/2014
This was my second visit to Bobby
V's and it was just as enjoyable as the first. The atmosphere is very pleasing; nicely lit with soft music playing in the background (interestingly they have energetic music playing in the bathroom). The wait staff is very attentive; all staff members contribute to the experience. The food selection is varied enough to offer something for everyone. The scallops are fantastic and the white chocolate bread pudding is a great way to cap the evening. Bobby V's is worth the trip!"
Dined on 3/1/2014
restaurant is a bit pricey but the
filet was very good. Also had sliced steak but wasn't quite as tender and asking for it well done was a mistake. They charred the steal which made it hard to eat. The bread is amazing! I also had a pretty good ceasars salad which was decent but not great. Having a Groupon deal made it worth it. The staff was very good and quick. Overall, 3.5 out of 5 stars in my opinion."
Dined on 2/28/2014
We had a group of five. Old
friends who are more like family. We got the sweet chili calamari and seafood tower for appetizers. Then we ordered the porterhouse steak for five. The food was fantastic. We will be back again. It was the perfect place to eat great food and catch up with old friends."
Dined on 2/26/2014
It was a busy evening - our waiter
did not come by enough to get additional drink orders or check on food. The food was ok, but for hte pricing, I expected better. Better food, better service. Staff was polite - hoping this was just an off night."
Dined on 2/25/2014
Bobby van's is one of the. best
places to eat in all of DC. Food is always good and the service is excellent."
Dined on 2/25/2014
Great meal. Mediocre appetizer
that costs us $50. We ordered one appetizer special that the waiter told us was $25. After receiving the bill,we saw that this bland seafood appetizer cost us $50, or $25 per person. When bringing this to the attention of the manager, we were told that we must have misunderstood the waiter, that he has worked there for 13 years and was good at his job. Well, your waiter bought us ONE appetizer and never told us that it was $25 per person. Very disappointed that the manager literally blamed us for the mishap. How about inviting us back and giving us a complementary appetizer off of the regular menu (appetizers average $12) or a glass of wine? So sad that they did not seize the opportunity to please a customer."
Dined on 2/22/2014
We had a great meal, with great
service to celebrate our anniversary. Our server, Olivia, was attentive, but not overly so. We wanted to linger a bit and just enjoy the food & being with each other, which she sensed and accommodated us accordingly. Our steaks were cooked exactly as ordered and were delicious. We couldn't have been happier with our experience at Bobby Van's. We'll definitely be back!"
Dined on 2/21/2014
We decided to take a break from
our normal steak destination (thanks to Groupon). The food was fantastic and the service was great. We'll be back with or without a Groupon."
Dined on 2/14/2014
This was our 2nd time at Bobby
Van's, but first to this location. The ambience is definitely better at this location. It is quiet and has many separate dining areas. The food was full of flavor as usual. The bacon wrapped scallops were cooked perfectly but there were only 2 on the appetizer. The filets were great cuts and cooked perfectly as well. The only complaint we had was the service. We noticed the host was pointing customers to tables in other rooms instead of actually showing them to their table. We also had to wait often for our waiter to list he specials, take our order, and bring the check. We will be back to Bobby Van's but it may be back to the other DC location. Since the service doesn't seem up to par."
Dined on 2/15/2014
Very cool old schoool DC
resturant. This place will not blow you away but it searves very good food at a very good price and just seems like DC. Loved the atomosphere and was happy with my meal. Will return."
Dined on 2/10/2014
We had the porterhouse for two.
The steak was very large and thick, and done medium-rare but with a nice char. The meat was dry-aged and had a wonderful flavor. At $45 each this is not an everyday meal, but it is a nice for when you want to treat yourselves to a night out. The price does not include sides, which were $8 each for a smallish creamed spinach and small mashed potatoes. The martini was perfect except that it was served with two olives, which is a little bit of a faux pas. The Crème brûlée was perfect. Service was attentive and friendly."
Dined on 2/15/2014
Good food! Great service! I would
recommend the Sweet Chile Calamari! We had a great experience. The only thing I would change was where we sat in the restaurant. We were put in a back booth by the kitchen. It was a little noisey. I could see the staff working. Overall amazing experience and we cant wait to return!"
Dined on 2/15/2014
From the moment you arrive, very
convenient valet parking and reservations are scheduled as promised. The food was delicious and the timing between each serving was prefect!"
Dined on 2/14/2014
Steak: The first time I came here,
the ribeye was amazing - huge portion and very flavorful (the house-made sauce is kind of sweet for me). The second time I came for valentines day, it was noticeably less flavorful. The mac & cheese is amazing here, always get it. They are also pretty good with the mashed potatoes Drinks: As a whiskey drinker, you don't have a plethora of options, but enough to keep you satisfied Atmosphere: Looks like people who come for a good steak, and rightfully so. Overall, a solid choice for bar scene or food"
Dined on 2/14/2014
My first time visiting Bobby Van's
and I must say that I was very impressed. The steak was seasoned to perfection, but the garlic spinach was somewhat bland. I will be back...My only recommendation, the chairs were very hard and uncomfortable and the numerous scratches made me think that they needed replacing..."
Dined on 2/14/2014
It was one of the best
restaurants. The food and service was outstanding. The people were very friendly. I will go again."

Deliver a great dining experience.
Food was outstanding, service was excellent and all is delivered in a setting of classic elegance. Prices are high but they do their best to justify the cost by serving the best of ingredients with superb attention and care, Juan was an exceptional host."
Dined on 2/12/2014
First off, this restaurant was
amazing! Caught the metro to go there, but we were running late, so I called to change our reservation. Not a problem, they were happy to do so! Finally made it there, or so we thought, apparently there are 2 in Dc (my mistake) so I had to call again. They completely understood and told me they would be ready when I got there. We ordered the porterhouse, and that was a delicious piece of meat, definitely recommended! We each got only one side, and this proved to be plenty for us (we both were full). Our waitress was very pleasant and helpful, I would definitely come here on my next visit!"
Dined on 2/8/2014
This classic steak house is not
resting on its laurels. Calimari was crunchy and non-greasy--perhaps the best I've ever tasted. The very tender and flavorful rib eye was cooked exactly the way I asked. Dinner partner's fish was also excellent. Service was professional and efficient."
Dined on 2/7/2014
We rely on this place for work
lunches at least twice a week and it is always delicious. I met a friend here for dinner and was very disappointed. The sides were fine but I think they warmed up leftover steaks from lunch."
Dined on 2/7/2014
We came here for our 4 year
anniversary and they truly made it a night to remember. Congratulatory champagne, fantastic service and great food, we knew we picked the right spot for our dinner."
Dined on 2/8/2014
For as much as they charge for a
meal, I would hope the food was amazing. That is just simply not the case. The steaks are really just ok, and when the best thing about the meal,is the service and the bread there is something lacking. There are much better options at this price point."
Dined on 2/5/2014
I went to Bobby Van's for dinner
because I was told that it's a good lunch spot. Looking at the menu price I set my expectations at the same level as the Capital Grille, Ruth's Chris, Charlie Palmer, etc. However, by the end of the night I realized I should have set my expectations to match Applebee's and Outback Steakhouse. 1) The service is mediocre. All the servers seemed rush and didn't have time for us even though it was an empty Tuesday night. 2) They have no attention to detail. 3) The ambience didn't match the price range of the restaurant. Everything basically looks and feels like Outback, expect that you are paying 4x as much. 4) The food/steak was edible. Overall, save your money. There are dozens of better steakhouses in DC."
Dined on 1/14/2014
Once again, Bobby Van's does it
again! This spot is fantastic and my wife and I have turned into regulars! The Porterhouse is awesome, our friend got the Ribeye which is almost big enough for 2, and the wine is great! Recommend this place to everyone!!"
Dined on 2/1/2014
My husband and I went here for a
Saturday evening date night . My husband ordered the ribeye what he said was very good. Tender, flavorful with a good amount of marble. The baked potato was not pipping hot. He was pleased with his meal one he asked to have it heated. I on the other hand ordered the crab cakes which were dry and tasteless and the Harry salad which was bland. My lesson, don't order seafood at a steak house."
Dined on 2/1/2014
Great food and service. Highly
recommend Bobby Van's. Great burger."
Dined on 1/30/2014
Seats old and uncomfortable, did
not take coats on freezing day made booth very cramped.meat was good quality but very little seasoning and flavor,as it is dry aged I expected more flavor out of meat. Cuts were nice size and waiter was friendly but not too attentive. Get a table for four if you want more room. Wife loved her meal. She would go back in a minute, I would go also."
Dined on 1/29/2014
Bobby Van's was a wonderful choice
for a nice dinner with my relatives while I was in Washington DC for business. Great atmosphere, outstanding service and a wonderful steak! And being just a block from the White House makes for a nice visit from out of towners."
Dined on 1/28/2014
For a $45 steak, much more is
expected. The food was mediocre at best. Very disappointing experience despite the excellent service."
Dined on 1/25/2014
Service started out poor and
became slightly better because of our waiter, Rodney. Upon arriving, our host pointed to the table we were to be seated at instead of taking us there, so we guessed at which table he meant and sat down. We then waited about ten minutes before flagging someone down to let them know we were there. Our waiter, once realizing the mistake, came over and apologized. He was pleasant and helpful for the rest of the evening. The food wasn't what we expected for a restaurant at that price range. It was satisfactory, but not much better than your average restaurant. My wife and I would not return."
Dined on 1/24/2014
Excellent dining experience!
Service was outstanding and the steaks were cooked to perfection!"
Dined on 1/24/2014
The service was pretty good, and
most of the food was fine. However, the mixed drinks were mediocre, and the apple tart dessert was very dry, and tasted like it had been stored uncovered in the refrigerator (it picked up an onion flavor/smell)."

As we are guided by our commitment to consider the impacts of our actions on the next seven generations, the prospect of global climate change troubles us deeply. While reducing our greenhouse gas emissions is the focus of many of our environmental initiatives and drives us to pursue reductions in our work on our products, packaging and logistics, we are also pushing for lifestyle changes among our employees and consumers. Seventh Generation is also joining with other progressive companies to push for meaningful climate change legislation.
Understanding our carbon impacts. In 2009, we established a bold greenhouse gas reduction goal that call us to decrease our GHG emissions 15% by 2016 across the entire life cycle of our products. To develop a strategy to address this goal, we did some pioneering research to estimate the carbon impact of all of our products from cradle to grave. This includes raw material extraction, manufacturing, distribution, product use, recycling and waste management. This ground-breaking work gave our company a first-ever insight into which products and which parts of our products' life cycles contribute most to our total company carbon footprint. We examined each life cycle phase by crossing our sales data and the weight of our product and packaging components with the relevant Greenhouse Gas emission factors. We also supplemented our own information with industry average data, where needed.
We found that the carbon intensities of the consumer use phases of our hand dish liquid and our liquid laundry far outweigh any other impact. We have long made washing laundry in cold water and line drying a focus of our engagement work. This study is spurring us to discuss ways to more effectively inspire deeper behavior changes.
Examining GHG intensity excluding the use phase, we found that:
- diapers and paper products dominate with the dish and laundry categories coming in next; and
- materials production is the most energy intensive, followed by the end-of-life phase.
These results will help us prioritize future life cycle assessment work to identify opportunities for improvements — be they in materials selection, ingredient processing, or regarding our aspiration to create biodegradable, compostable products which would have a very low end-of-life carbon impact. This study will also guide our efforts to engage our manufacturing partners more deeply.
→ Read about our Summer of 2010 Laundry Challenge.
GHG goals and results:
- Highlight: We lowered our greenhouse gas emissions 12% in the past year, taking sales growth into account.
Our GHG goal calls for us to achieve reductions in emissions of 80% by 2050 (2% per year) from a 2005 baseline, normalized to sales. This goal includes the significant impacts from our materials, ingredients and packaging. To guide this effort, we have set a mid-term goal of reducing the lifecycle GHG emissions of our products by 15% (from a 2007 baseline) by 2016.
We feel it is important that we examine both our absolute greenhouse gas emissions (the total amount of emissions over time without considering how much our sales have increased) as well as our sales-normalized emissions (this can be thought of as emissions per dollar of sales). We established a normalized goal as our sales have grown 240% since 2005 and we did not feel an absolute 80% reduction would have been possible. Nevertheless, our deep concern about global climate change demands that we try to reduce the total amount of GHG we emit to the environment. Our results:
Change in GHG emissions (normalized to sales) |
Change in GHG emissions (absolute) |
2009-2010 |
↓ 12% Note that sales increased 11% |
↓ 2% |
2005-2010 |
↓ 55% |
↑ 55% |
Our efforts to understand the greenhouse gas contributions from our suppliers are ongoing. We have begun to collect the necessary data and plan to develop a system for incorporating this information into our GHG accounting system in 2011. In 2010, we examined the greenhouse gas contributions of our facility energy use, our employee commuting, and business travel, but found that the emissions associated with our materials, ingredients, packaging (MIPs) and product transport are responsible for 99% of our carbon footprint and thus are worth a closer look. Completing our switch to a decentralized product transport system, our increase in the use of renewable materials, and greater sales growth in the less carbon-intensive cleaning, dish and laundry product categories are all factors in our greenhouse gas reductions.
Dive more deeply into our data and our methodology here.

Notes: MIPS includes the inputs from our materials, ingredients and packaging.
CO2e is the universal unit of measurement used to indicate the global warming potential of a mixture of greenhouse gases.
The World Resources Institute (WRI) and World Business Council for Sustainable Development Protocol define three different types of emissions categories: Scope 1: direct emissions from company-controlled buildings and vehicles; Scope 2: indirect emissions from electricity, steam, or heat produced by another organization: Scope 3: other indirect GHG emissions from: transportation of purchased materials or goods; employee business travel; employee commuting; and estimates of materials, ingredients and packaging GHG burdens. 2010 facility energy use data were calculated and 2007–2009 facility energy use data were re-calculated based on new conversion factors for GHG emissions for KWH electricity published in February, 2011 by the United States Environmental Protection Agency and applicable beginning in 2007.
Employee commuting information is based on an annual survey of Seventh Generation employees.
Methodology: We follow the widely used GHG protocol developed by the World Resources Institute and the World Business Council for Sustainable Development to enhance transparency and comparability of data.
The largest contributor to our GHG emissions comes from our materials, ingredients and packaging. Our life cycle assessment studies of various products provide us with the most accurate GHG data related to our products and packaging. Where we lack hard data, we use estimates based on component-specific GHG emission factors from industry sources and published reports to account for approximately 85% of the CO2 intensity for our materials, ingredients and packaging. These sources provide a gross estimate of GHG emissions; where data are missing, we have been forced to estimate or extrapolate from information for similar materials. While estimating is not ideal, we feel confident that our year-to-year comparisons are fairly accurate.

- I was shopping on-line at my favorite toy store yesterday when I came across the perfect 9-inch cock. I started to get wet just thinking about sliding it in and out of my pussy. I didn't waste any time clicking that prick right into my shopping cart and when I hit the checkout I went for overnight delivery. It arrived this afternoon and I immediately ripped the box open and took it for a test drive right then and there on my kitchen floor. The best thing about a dildo is that it's always hard and it never quits before I cum.....

Comments about Jackson KVXMG King V X Series Electric Guitar:
I currently play Ibanez VBT 700 guitars and like them a lot but they are fixed bridge. Thats why I got this guitar...for the neck thru and floyd rose. I like the neck a lot and it came with strap locks ( a nice bonus) but i didn't like where the rear strap mounted or where the pickup selector was located. The trem bar gets in the way of quick pickup changes. Got rid of the blade style selector, replaced the tone control with a gibson style pickup selector, and moved the rear strap button to how where it was on my Ibanez. I am very happy with it now. I don't really like active pickups and was not that happy with the pickups through my practice amp but it really seemed to cut through when playing with my band. We play extreme metal with two guitars and a keyboard player with 2 keyboards...a lot of midrange. I have the black and white ibanez vbts and started with the black kvxmg....liked it a lot and decided to get the white one for our other tuning.The black one is exactly what I expected in terms of finish but the white one looks almost creme colored compared to my Ibanez. I was very let down and decided to write this review in case someone was thinking about getting white and expecting it to look like it does in the pictures. Im not sure about how setup is from factory because I change string gauges and do a setup on all my guitars when I first get them. After a setup the trem works the way it is supposed to. Hope that helps someone

Comments about Jackson KVXMG King V X Series Electric Guitar:
This is a great guitar. When I first recieved the guitar, its factory setup was way off. The truss rod was too tight which had the neck arched back and the tremolo was way out of adjustment. These things didnt bother me because I do all of my own work, customizing, and adjustments, but thought I would include it in my review just so you would know to possibly expect that. But dont let that discourage you from getting one of these bad boys. A few simple adjustments,and I was ready to rock. This guitar is awesome. It has a very clean defined sound, very bright and solid. I love the EMG 81/85 combination,I believe they are the best pickups for rock and metal. The tremolo is very responsive, feels tough, and the tuning stays very stable. The neck is thin and fast,very comfortable for both chords and soloing. The transition between the neck and body is really nice and sculpted to give you effortless reach to all 24 frets. It feels much like the wizard neck on my Ibanez RG 570. The guitar has a good weght and feel to it, making it enjoyable to play for hours on end. I got the Kawasabi Green, it looks killer and gets alot of compliments. If you're looking for a killer neck through guitar without spending a butt load of cash, this is it.
Comments about Jackson KVXMG King V X Series Electric Guitar:
Overall this is a great guitar for this price and you get a floyd rose and active emg pickups I feel like I stole this guitar. its neck through looks just like a USA KV 2 for half the price. I highly recomend checking this out you wont regret it..
dont hesitate buy this you will not be dissapointed
overall smooth finish shiny around the logo looks like it could be smoother like there could have been more clear coat on it.. but this is not major.. this guitar gets a lot of compliments.. most people cannot distinguish between this and a USA model great job on Jackson part on this new X series.
This is a steal for this price only drawback is it should come with a case. you have to get a jackson or SKB with this guitars shape a gig bag would be a bad desicion.

A recent study found that the cell lines most commonly used for research on ovarian cancer are not the most suitable.
Therapies are often available for women dealing with sexual and vaginal health concerns related to cancer and its treatment.
Charles Sawyers, Larry Norton, and Kenneth Offit are being honored with special awards at the annual meeting of the world's leading professional organization for cancer physicians and researchers.
Memorial Sloan Kettering Clinical Genetics Service Chief Kenneth Offit discusses ways for women to clearly assess their risk for breast and ovarian cancer.
Dr. Sonoda, who performs minimally invasive procedures when possible, discusses how patients at Memorial Sloan Kettering have the benefit of an entire team of physicians having input into their care.
Gynecology Service Chief Richard Barakat comments on a recent study indicating that women treated by more-experienced physicians receive the most-appropriate care for this aggressive form of cancer.
Dr. Chi, Deputy Chief of the Gynecology Service, talks about the way Memorial Sloan Kettering's research and state-of-the-art care help women with ovarian, cervical, and uterine cancers.
Dr. Barakat explains the latest surgical techniques for improving outcomes and quality of life in women with cervical, ovarian, and other gynecologic cancers.
Gynecologic cancer surgeon Dr. Brown discusses how doctors and nurses collaborate to care for patients, from diagnosis through lifelong follow-up.
Dr. Abu-Rustum, Director of Minimally Invasive Surgery for the Gynecology Service, discusses how the gynecologic cancer care team treats each woman with an individualized approach.
Dr. Barakat will serve as president of two prestigious societies for gynecologic cancer, allowing him to influence how women with these cancers are cared for both in the United States and around the world.
When 45-year-old Jane learned she had a tumor in her ovary, she came to Memorial Sloan Kettering for surgery and chemotherapy.
Two of the year's top five cancer research advances cited by the American Society of Clinical Oncology were led by Memorial Sloan Kettering investigators.
Medical oncologist Paul Sabbatini, a specialist in treating gynecologic cancers, leads a clinical research program seeking to improve treatments for ovarian cancer by harnessing the power of the immune system.
In a large-scale genomic analysis of the most common and aggressive type of ovarian cancer, researchers from Memorial Sloan Kettering and other centers identified genetic mutations and pathways that set the disease apart from other types of ovarian cancer and other solid tumors.
In an extraordinary demonstration of excellence, five Memorial Sloan Kettering physician-scientists were selected to participate in the press program at the 2011 American Society of Clinical Oncology annual meeting, held June 3-7 in Chicago.
Gynecologic Medical Oncology Service Chief Carol Aghajanian commented on a study that found that a drug used to treat kidney cancer may delay relapses in women with ovarian cancer.
According to a large-scale genomic analysis of the most common and aggressive type of ovarian cancer, researchers from Memorial Sloan- Kettering Cancer Center and other centers within The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) project identified genetic mutations and pathways that distinctly set the disease apart not only from other types of ovarian cancer, but from other solid tumors as well.
Bevacizumab (Avastin®) in combination with chemotherapy resulted in a clinical benefit for patients with recurrent ovarian cancer, according to a new study. Results from the phase III "OCEANS" trial were presented today by the lead author, Carol Aghajanian, MD, of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, at the 2011 annual meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology.

Drug Name: | Allopurinol |
Manufacturer: | Watson Laboratories, Inc. |
Other Info: | |
Clinical Trials: | |
IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR THE TREATMENT OF ASYMPTOMATIC HYPERURICEMIA. Allopurinol reduces serum and urinary uric acid concentrations.
Its use should be individualized for each patient and requires an understanding of its mode of action and pharmacokinetics (see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY, CONTRAINDICATIONS, WARNINGS and PRECAUTIONS). Allopurinol is indicated in: the management of patients with signs and symptoms of primary or secondary gout (acute attacks, tophi, joint destruction, uric acid lithiasis, and/or nephropathy). the management of patients with leukemia, lymphoma and malignancies who are receiving cancer therapy which causes elevations of serum and urinary uric acid levels.
Allopurinol treatment should be discontinued when the potential for overproduction of uric acid is no longer present. the management of patients with recurrent calcium oxalate calculi whose daily uric acid excretion exceeds 800 mg/day in male patients and 750 mg/day in female patients.
Therapy in such patients should be carefully assessed initially and reassessed periodically to determine in each case that treatment is beneficial and that the benefits outweigh the risks.ALLOPURINOL SHOULD BE DISCONTINUED AT THE FIRST APPEARANCE OF SKIN RASH OR OTHER SIGNS WHICH MAY INDICATE AN ALLERGIC REACTION.
In some instances a skin rash may be followed by more severe hypersensitivity reactions such as exfoliative, urticarial and purpuric lesions as well as Stevens-Johnson Syndrome (erythema multiforme exudativum) and/or generalized vasculitis, irreversible hepatotoxicity and on rare occasions, death. In patients receiving mercaptopurine or azathioprine, the concomitant administration of 300 to 600 mg of allopurinol per day will require a reduction in dose to approximately one-third to one-fourth of the usual dose of mercaptopurine or azathioprine.
Subsequent adjustment of doses of mercaptopurine or azathioprine should be made on the basis of therapeutic response and the appearance of toxic effects (see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY). A few cases of reversible clinical hepatotoxicity have been noted in patients taking allopurinol, and in some patients asymptomatic rises in serum alkaline phosphatase or serum transaminase have been observed.
If anorexia, weight loss or pruritus develop in patients on allopurinol, evaluation of liver function should be part of their diagnostic workup.
In patients with pre-existing liver disease, periodic liver function tests are recommended during the early stages of therapy. Due to the occasional occurrence of drowsiness, patients should be alerted to the need for due precaution when engaging in activities where alertness is mandatory. The occurrence of hypersensitivity reactions to allopurinol may be increased in patients with decreased renal function receiving thiazides and allopurinol concurrently.
For this reason, in this clinical setting, such combinations should be administered with caution and patients should be observed closely.

An early settlement called Bird's Fort was established just south of the present city in 1841. A post office was founded there in 1857, but the community dissipated as settlers moved toward present-day Euless and Irving. Elisha Adam Euless, a pioneer from Tennessee, built a home and cotton gin nearby in 1881. The settlement that grew around his gin was named for him. Today, the city is a thriving community on the boundary of DFW International Airport.
Euless is known for its Arbor Daze Festival each April, which promotes and celebrates the planting of trees throughout the city. www.arbordaze.org.
