DSLRs For Low Light
The combination of improved sensors, advanced processing engines and powerful algorithms makes the current lineup of pro DSLRs capable of a whole new kind of low-light photography
Digital offers advantages over film beyond far higher usable ISOs. First, with digital, you can easily set the ideal ISO for each image. That saves a lot of time and wasted film frames. Second, with digital, you can do a lot when processing RAW digital images to control noise, enhance dynamic range and color rendition, and adjust sharpening (it's a very good idea to shoot RAW when using high ISOs, even though in-camera, high-ISO noise reduction is applied only to JPEGs). Third, with digital, you can shoot high-contrast scenes using HDR techniques and get an amazing dynamic range. But most importantly to action and low-light shooters, the newest DSLRs allow you to get remarkably good image quality at ISO settings beyond the wildest dreams of film photographers.
While medium-format DSLRs haven't been known for their high-ISO performance, even that's changing. Phase One's Sensor+ technology uses a clever twist on the "binning" technique to let you choose super-high resolution or high resolution with good high-ISO performance. For example, the P65+ model can shoot 60.5-megapixel images at ISOs from 50-800 or 15-megapixel images at ISOs from 200-3200. (Combining groups of four pixels into single "super-pixels" increases sensitivity and reduces noise; Phase One's method eliminates some of the problems of conventional binning techniques.)
Here's a capsule look at today's best low-light DSLRs, in alphabetical order by manufacturer.
Canon EOS-1D Mark IV
Canon's newest D-SLR wasn't available at press time, so we haven't had a chance to use it or check out the image quality. But this long-awaited successor to the Canon EOS-1D Mark III action camera boasts some amazing numbers. It features a new 16.1-megapixel, APS-H format (1.3x focal-length factor) Canon CMOS image sensor and dual DIGIC 4 processors, with a normal ISO range of 100-12,800. Should the need arise, you can expand that to 50 on the low end and all the way to 102,400 on the high end.
The EOS-1D Mark IV can shoot those 16.1-megapixel images at 10 fps, in bursts of up to 28 RAW or 121 Large JPEGs. As a 1-series EOS camera, it's also rugged, with excellent weather- and dust-proofing, and a 300,000-cycle shutter. When you attach a higher-end L-series EF lens and the Speedlite 580EX II flash unit, the whole kit is weather-resistant. A 100% viewfinder, a 3.0-inch, 920,000-dot LCD monitor and Live View shooting with contrast-based or phase-detection AF are other assets.
A completely redesigned AF system with a new AI Servo (continuous-AF) algorithm should make the Mark IV Canon's best action camera ever. We're looking forward to trying it out when test cameras become available.
The Mark IV can shoot 1080p full HD video at 24, 25 or 30 fps, at ISO settings up to that remarkable 102,400. (It also can shoot 720p HD and 640x480p SD video at 60 or 50 fps.) Full manual control over aperture is provided in video shooting, when that's desired. Images are recorded on CompactFlash or SD cards; use UDMA-compliant CompactFlash cards or SDHC cards for best performance.

Love these little reversible pillows! I will use them all winter, since "Joy" "Peace" and "Love" are not confined to the Christmas season. We have all four of the birds in our yard, and the renderings are charming.

Light Rain Fog/Mist
Winds: Calm
My sister, brothers, and I spent seven adventurous years at 110 Flamingo Street. During that time we enjoyed a neighborhood full of friends to play with except Down the Street Bully Brad. Unless you consider running for your life a game, Brad never played with us. Then again, we never really asked if he wanted to. Now looking back, maybe that's why he was so bad. Read More»
Back when we lived at 110 Flamingo Street, Mom entertained all the time. It was actually only once a month, but to us kids that seemed like all the time. To say she was a socialite would be as big of an understatement as BP saying, "Oops, we've spilled a little oil. Someone get a sponge." Mom was like Betty Crocker, Martha Stewart, and Paula Deen all rolled into one. Read More»
For two people who think so much alike, sometimes The Wife and I don't always define things the same way. Last weekend was a good example.
First thing Saturday morning I was drafted into the annual ritual of spring cleaning. For me spring cleaning is just moving around the dirt on the windows for an hour or so and then finding some sports to watch on the big TV. For The Wife spring cleaning means something totally different: open the cabinets, throw everything out – mostly my stuff — then buy new stuff. Read More»
The light changed to green, and a decision had to be made. Straight ahead was the business meeting for which I was an hour early. To the left was a much different destination, a trip down memory lane. It was to be a lane filled with potholes, dangerous curves, and what might be a cliff at the end.
I turned left and pointed the nose of the car down Mt. Olive Street and towards the elementary school that bore its name. It had been a long time since I'd travelled this way, even longer still since I walked those pathways. Read More»
Resistance was a futile effort. The force of the wave was so great it felt as though we had just been just hit by another crushing tackle from Bubba Hanks.
We tried to turn and swim away, but it was too late; there was nothing anyone could do. My three brothers and I were swept away, crashing into each other before being helplessly tossed around like rag dolls.
Then the unthinkable happened. A second wave hit, and we were thrown up against the sides of Neighbor Thomas's pool. Bubba Hanks had done the impossible: An outlawed double jump cannonball dive! Read More»
It's difficult to be me. Trust me; I know. Sometimes I'm exhausted at the end of the day just from all the worrying. Some call it self-induced stress. I just call it worrying.
And just when and where did all my worrying start, you might ask? Well, none other than Old Mrs. Crabtree's third-grade class at Mt. Olive Elementary School. Read More»
They say that no good deed ever goes unpunished. Now I know Mrs. Newsome, my fifth-grade English teacher, already has her red pen out ready to write at the top of my paper, "Just who are they? Can you cite an example of they?"
I really don't know who "they" are, but them folks are right. No good deed ever goes unpunished. And yes, I can cite an example, Mrs. Newsome. Just lend me your ear. Read More»
The fact the deck had been both swept off and stained a deep redwood didn't startle The Wife. The fact that for two nights the back door stood closed but unlocked did.
It wasn't the first time I had forgotten to secure us in. Forgetting things has become more common of late, but there was once a time my memory never failed me — a time when most people's back doors stood unlocked for months not just days. Read More»
I'll be the first to admit it's been a long time since I've known what day of the week it was. And for once, the guys at the fire department won't laugh at me because of a story. If they're honest, they'll admit that they lose track of days as often as I do.
Now being confused isn't a new state for me; just ask some of the guys I work with, but this time my befuddlement has nothing to do with getting older. It has to do with every day being Friday. Confused? Well, welcome to my world. Read More»
The generation gap is something I've heard about all of my life, but never really believed in. The other day was when I realized that not only does the gap exist, but just how far that gap has widened for me.
That's when one of my coworkers asked me to go camping. The young twenty-something thought it was a good idea to ask the old guy to come along — that is, until I started to ask questions. That's one thing us old guys are good at – asking a bunch of questions. Read More»

Jessica Alba's post-baby body may have looked great in recent calendar shots, but she's willing to share one of her tricks."I wore a girdle," Alba says in the March issue of Elle. "Eight weeks after my girlfriend had her baby, you could see her six-pack. She told me to put an elastic band around my waist — any kind of band or girdle works."But Alba says her six-pack hasn't returned, mostly because she's had trouble putting in hours at the gym. "[The workouts] were horrible," Alba says. "I cried. And I haven't worked out since."Apparently, she's been crying a lot. "That's a new thing — I never cried before," she says. "Just being a mother is making me a big, weepy mess."As for actually giving birth to her daughter, Honor, Alba says it was no biggie. "Contractions aren't that bad," she says. "If you've ever had bad cramps? That's what they're like. But that moment when they put the baby on your chest — that's deep. It's a deep experience."

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

Grounds for Change Continues Commitment to Certified Carbonfree® Status
It takes a special company to carry through a long-term commitment to monitor and manage its social, environmental and financial impacts of conducting business. Grounds for Change is a family owned and operated coffee roasting business located in the Pacific Northwest. Grounds for Change roasts 100% Fair Trade, Organic coffee in small batches to ensure that you receive the freshest coffee possible, while remaining committed to social justice and environmental stewardship.
In 2008, Grounds for Change helped Carbonfund.org pioneer the Certified Carbonfree® Products program by completing a thorough "cradle-to-grave" Life Cycle Assessment and Greenhouse Gases inventory report for its roasted coffees. It is a program that fits with Grounds for Change's overall mission to achieve the highest possible standards in quality, fairness and responsibility throughout its operation and in each product it produces.
"It's simply the right thing to do," says Kelsey Marshall, Co-Founder of Grounds for Change. "We want to provide our customers with the highest quality coffee available. To us, that means Organic Certified, Fair Trade Certified and Certified Carbonfree® - caring for ecosystems, workers and the climate."
By measuring the carbon footprint associated with each pound of roasted coffee, then neutralizing those carbon emissions through quarterly donations to Carbonfund.org, supporting reforestation and avoided deforestation projects around the world, Grounds for Change offers a truly carbon neutral roasted coffee to environmentally conscious consumers.
The company's commitment to carbon offsetting goes far beyond its coffee roasting operations. Every step in the coffee chain has been scrutinized, from a coffee plant in Peru all the way to a bag of roasted coffee in the customer's hands. The details of harvest, transportation, roasting, packaging and shipping to customers have all been included in the rigorous carbon footprint analysis.
Grounds for Change focuses on operating as a green business and has received a Washington award for Outstanding Achievement in Sustainability. As a member of 1% for the Planet, Grounds for Change donates well over 1% of total annual sales to various environmental organizations, including Carbonfund.org. In addition to offering 100% Fair Trade and Organic Certified coffee, most Grounds for Change coffees are shade grown, which means the possibility of a real livelihood for coffee growers, a breath of fresh air for the planet, zero net carbon emissions from crop to cup and healthy forests for migratory songbirds.
This holiday season, Grounds for Change is offering sales on coffee gift baskets, special winter seasonal coffee blends, and their Coffee of the Month club. With their commitments to Fair Trade, Organic and Carbonfree® Certified coffees, Grounds for Change offers premier choices for environmentally-savvy coffee connoisseurs.
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.
RLP Wealth Advisors, LLC Sustains What Matters Through Managing Growth
Today's wealth management environment, like protection of our natural environment, demands transparency, accountability, responsible citizenship and the highest ethical standards.
Adhering to these principles, Carbonfree® Business Partner RLP Wealth Advisors, LLC, a New York-based independent employee-owned sustainable wealth management firm, chose to work with Carbonfund.org to continue its commitment to operate as a carbon neutral organization, part of the firm's sustainability goals.
The firm is committed to running a sustainable business practice that limits impact on the planet by using electronic storage and delivery of documents, effectively reducing paper consumption, helping to save trees, and further reducing emissions associated with shipping of documents.

Yumbutter Seeks to Nourish the World and the Environment through Holistic Responsibility
Adrian Reif and Matt D'Amour share a love of yummy nut butter and of an idealism to help people eat better while caring for the environment. Their love for fresh, healthy food led to grinding homemade nut butter batches, then expanding their fledgling Yumbutter brand into a company that could have meaningful impact. Yumbutter crafts creative and inventive nut butter "potions" using organic, wholesome nuts, seeds, and superfoods to get more nutrition into each batch. With a mission to "Nourish the World" through what they call "Holistic Responsibility," Yumbutter seeks to be the best organization it can be – from conception to consumption of food – and beyond.
As part of their commitment to environmental responsibility, Yumbutter recently made the decision to join the Carbonfree® Business Partnership program and purchase carbon offsets in reforestation projects for over 250% of their annual administrative operation's carbon footprint.
"Carbonfund.org allows us to do more than we're able to organizationally. We've desired to build a carbon negative business since the beginning and supporting reforestation projects get us closer to that goal," explains Adrian, the Chief Goodness Warrior for Yumbutter.
Their Holistic Responsibility program is the result of asking the question: "How can a nut butter company improve people's lives?" They consider the company's impact on the health and happiness of Yumbutter fans, supply chain partners, Mother Earth, employees, the business ecosystem, and people born into unfortunate circumstances. So when customers spread Yumbutter, they're actually supporting a shift in the way businesses are run.
Yumbutter is a Certified B Corporation, a new breed of company dedicated to positive social and environmental impact. Certified B Corps meet rigorous standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency - a holistic measure of sustainability. Yumbutter also is a certified YouthTrade company for mission-driven companies run by young entrepreneurs.
Through their BuyOne:FeedOne program, Yumbutter and its customers have helped to feed over 14,000 children with malnutrition since mid-2012. Every time a customer buys one jar or pouch of Yumbutter, a small donation is made to help feed a child with malnutrition through a non-profit group in Guatemala providing holistic care to malnourished children and their mothers. And with Carbonfund.org, Yumbutter helps nourish the environment by restoring and preserving forestry projects around the world.
NWF and Carbonfund.org Help You Graduate Green This Spring
Are your graduation robes made of recycled plastic bottles? Did you find your dress shoes at the secondhand shop? Take the next step in greening your graduation with National Wildlife Federation's Campus Ecology Program and Carbonfund.org!
Achieve a carbon-neutral graduation ceremony by investing in verified and validated carbon offsets that support renewable energy, energy efficiency and reforestation projects, at a special rate for Campus Ecology program campus partners. Honor each graduate with the gift of carbon offsets to send them out into the world a little bit greener.
The NWF Campus Ecology Program provides tools and resources to help students, staff, campus greening committees and sustainability officers "take a big step to make a smaller footprint" when it comes to campus greenhouse gas emissions and reducing the campus's overall environmental footprint.
In addition to graduation greening programs, NWF Campus Ecology and Carbonfund.org can assist colleges and universities with various sustainability initiatives, including plans to reduce or neutralize emissions from facility energy consumption, grounds maintenance and operations, travel and events year-round.
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.
Brynmorgen Press Enters Seventh Year Carbonfree®
Among the benefits of our Carbonfree® Business Partnership for small companies are program affordability, applicability to businesses in all industries, and ease of utilizing the program benefits. The program simplifies the process of neutralizing operational emissions and creates the opportunity for any business to become carbon neutral.
A great example of a small business that recognized these benefits is Brynmorgen Press, a small publisher located in Brunswick, Maine that specializes in books and videos about jewelrymaking, metalsmithing, and design. Tim McCreight started Brynmorgen Press in 1985 to provide practical, high quality textbooks on metalworking and design.
"We are committed to creating books, but recognize the need to replenish the trees required for our products," explains Tim. "By supporting reforestation, renewable energy, and energy efficiency projects through Carbonfund.org, we have become Carbonfree®."
To augment its environmental commitments, Brynmorgen Press recycles office waste and prints on recycled paper with soy inks. To conserve energy, Tim and his team wear jackets in the office on cold days and go barefoot in the summer!
Tim McCreight started Brynmorgen Press after he'd published two books with commercial publishers. He thought he might enjoy getting involved in the design and production aspects of publishing, and apparently he was right. Three decades later, he's still writing, designing, and illustrating books, and he's able to maintain a Carbonfree® operation easily and affordably through Carbonfund.org.
Doing More Together than Alone – The Difference that 1% for the Planet Members Are Making with Carbonfund.org
An approved 1% for the Planet nonprofit partner, Carbonfund.org Foundation is leading the fight against global warming, making it easy and affordable for any individual, business or organization to reduce & offset their climate impact and hasten the transition to a clean energy future.
Since 2007, Carbonfund.org has enjoyed support of almost two dozen 1% for the Planet member businesses. Collectively, these 1% FTP members have neutralized almost 31 million pounds of greenhouse gas emissions by donating all or part of their annual 1% donations to this organization. In some cases, these businesses have gone above and beyond their 1% commitment, making additional donations to support energy efficiency, renewable energy, and forestry projects around the world. That 31 million pounds of emissions is equivalent to the amount of carbon dioxide sequestered by 11,500 acres of US forestland each year.
Several of these companies first discovered Carbonfund.org through their 1% FTP membership, and they have benefited from the programs that Carbonfund.org offers to donating businesses.
Here are some key examples of how this partnership has worked to benefit 1% businesses, Carbonfund.org, and most importantly, the Planet!
Moxie Bookkeeping of New York, NY, a full-charge accounting services firm, discovered Carbonfund.org through its 1% for the Planet relationship six years ago and decided to join the CarbonFree® Partner program for small businesses. A portion of Moxie Bookkeeping's 1% FTP pledge funds the annual CarbonFree® Partnership program, and in return, Moxie Bookkeeping enjoys the benefits of the program including use of the CarbonFree® Partner logo, a Partner Page on Carbonfund.org's website, and blogs about Moxie Bookkeeping's sustainability commitments.
"Carbonfund.org was an easy pick for me," explains Ean Murphy, founder of Moxie Bookkeeping. "While living in NYC lets us make the most of public transportation, wind powered energy and recycled office supplies, there is always more we can do to help offset our carbon footprint, and Carbonfund.org has a great reputation. I'm proud to have been a partner for the past seven years."
GoodLight Natural Candles of Ridgway, CO also found Carbonfund.org through its 1% FTP pledge. Owner David Callicott began by joining the CarbonFree® Small Business Partnership program but took the relationship to the next stage by working with Carbonfund.org to calculate its total annual operational carbon footprint, including all office energy usage, business travel and product shipping emissions. GoodLight Natural Candles now makes a larger donation to Carbonfund.org, still within its 1% FTP pledge, to ensure that the company is truly CarbonFree® in all areas of its operations.
With the motto of "Live Give Run," Charm City Run, a Maryland-based athletic shoes retailer with five store locations, an online store, and a running race events organizer, places a high priority on its charitable giving. Involved in almost a million dollars of charitable donations to Maryland-area and national organizations, Charm City Run donates a portion of its 1% FTP pledge to Bethesda, MD-based Carbonfund.org.
"Making a difference has never been this easy," says Tom Mansfield of Charm City Run. "Carbonfund.org encourages individuals and businesses to control what they can. There are basic steps that we should all be following to be as responsible as we can. Carbonfund.org helps to make this possible and they will continue to receive support from us because of this."
Another 1% FTP member, Eagle Wing Tours, recognizes that its whale-watching tours are dependent on healthy oceans and marine life. To mitigate the effects of any tour-related emissions, Eagle Wing Tours undertook a complete analysis of their tour operation's carbon footprint, from office operations through all fuel used by their tour vessels, in order to become the first carbon neutral whale-watching tour operator in Canada. Eagle Wing Tours makes an annual carbon emissions offsetting donation to Carbonfund.org that exceeds their 1% FTP pledge, but the commitment to environmental responsibility is worth the additional costs. This year, Eagle Wing Tours and Co-owner Brett Soberg received two industry awards for its environmental stewardship.
"We are trying to redefine what we think a model wildlife tour company is," explains Brett Soberg, Co-owner and Captain at Eagle Wing Tours. "Spotting that whale is the cherry on top of an already very comprehensive marine experience. What we can do to protect these species by supporting education, conservation and responsible business is where we really count."
Carbonfund.org offers a range of programs to all businesses and encourages 1% for the Planet members to complete a complimentary analysis of their annual carbon footprint. This is part of the educational mission of Carbonfund.org and will help 1% FTP members determine the best ways to neutralize a portion or all of their annual carbon emissions.
The collective efforts of these 1% FTP members are making a measurable difference in supporting carbon emissions reduction and clean air projects around the world, while returning valuable marketing advantages and leadership status in environmental stewardship to the member companies. If assessing, reducing and neutralizing all or a portion of the carbon footprint of your business is an important initiative, contact Carbonfund.org to discuss how your 1% for the Planet pledge can help you achieve your goals.
Leading Edge Design Group Takes an Environmental Leadership Position by Joining Carbonfund.org's CarbonFree® Program
ENFIELD, NH May 8, 2013 – Leading Edge Design Group (LEDG), a leading national provider of energy optimization services, announced today that it will offset its carbon emissions with the Carbonfund.org Foundation, one of the country's leading carbon offset organizations. In addition to their existing effort to reduce emissions by advancing corporate recycling initiatives, improving office-wide sustainable products and systems procurement, and establishing team car-pooling mandates for customer visits to reduce travel related emission, LEDG's CarbonFree® program participation supports their employees, partners, and customers who are striving to increase their own commitment to carbon neutrality.
"We are proud of our ongoing efforts to help our customers significantly reduce their carbon footprint but understand that this effort necessitates travel and the associated consumption of natural resources, " said Todd Boucher, Principal, Leading Edge Design Group. "Our partnership with Carbonfund.org allows us to maintain our commitment to our clients while offsetting the carbon emissions required to support the successful implementation of our solutions."
LEDG's emissions offset purchase will go toward supporting reforestation projects in the US and abroad.
"LEDG has taken a significant step in recognizing that, despite concerted efforts to reduce operational emissions, there remains a portion of their carbon footprint that cannot yet be eliminated," explains Eric Carlson, President of Carbonfund.org. "By becoming a CarbonFree® Business Partner, LEDG joins leading businesses and organizations around the world that have made this simple and affordable commitment to neutralize all annual carbon emissions and support our carbon reduction projects."
ABOUT LEADING EDGE DESIGN GROUP Leading Edge Design Group is a leading national provider of energy optimization services that delivers significant energy savings to the public and private marketplaces through efficient data center designs and emerging LED lighting and wireless lighting control technologies.

Arbor Teas 100% CarbonFree for Sixth Year
Even the most environmentally sensitive businesses know that their annual operations contribute to the increase in carbon emissions in our atmosphere, but the businesses that are truly committed to operational sustainability are taking simple and affordable steps to reduce their carbon footprint.
For the past six years, CarbonFree® Business Partner Arbor Teas has neutralized its annual operational emissions and its product shipment emissions in partnership with Carbonfund.org. Arbor Teas retails one of the largest selections of USDA-certified organic loose leaf teas from around the globe, most of which is Fair Trade, through its on-line store. In addition, Arbor Teas is committed to making a positive impact on the environment and has taken many steps to reduce emissions by offering only organic teas, reducing and "greening" its packaging and using renewable energy sources. However, their teas come from all corners of the world, so the shipping emissions are unavoidable. To mitigate these emissions, Arbor Teas has maintained a CarbonFree® Shipping program to offset the carbon footprint of annual product shipment emissions, and to offset all internal operational emissions, by supporting Carbonfund.org's renewable energy, energy efficiency and reforestation projects.
"It makes no sense at all to sell an organic product if the method of delivering it to our customers is environmentally harmful," says Jeremy Lopatin. "Although we do everything we can to reduce our carbon footprint, we're happy to partner with Carbonfund.org to offset what we can't avoid… yet!"
Almost three years ago, Arbor Teas became the first tea company to deliver its full line of organic loose teas in 100% backyard compostable packaging. With the release of this next generation packaging, Arbor Teas advanced its environmental mission, continuing to lead the tea industry through its staunch commitment to sustainable business practices. For the first time ever, tea drinkers are now able to compost their tea leaves AND tea packaging together in their home composting system. This innovative packaging is composed of a cellulose film made from wood pulp sourced from sustainably-managed trees, and the films used for Arbor Teas' new packaging breaks down in a backyard compost setting.
Carbonfund.org applauds Arbor Teas' long-term commitment to maintaining its CarbonFree® Operations and Shipping programs, and to its continuing innovation in the areas of product packaging and sourcing.

(SHERMAN, TEXAS) -- The Texoma regional blood center says they are in critical need of O Negative blood.
Only 7% of the population has O negative blood.O Negative is the universal blood type that can be given to anyone, however, patients who have O Negative blood type can only be transfused with O Negative.
DeeDee Morehead with The Texoma Regional Blood Center says blood is needed for a multitude of reasons, "well it can be accidents that occur..there's a lot of accidents on the highways..cancer patients..heart patients..you know it can be a multitude of anything..just whatever's going on at the hospital."
If you'd like to donate, The Texoma Regional Blood Center is open until 5:30 today and from nine to one tomorrow. They will be having a blood drive at Brookshire's in Pottsboro on Monday. You can visit texomablood.org for more information.

The Big Bang Theory Season Finale Review: "The Roommate Transmogrification"by Carla Day at . Comments
The Big Bang Theory ended it fourth season with a cosmic boom. Where does "The Roommate Transmogrification" leave our nerdy guys and their girls for the fall?
Every relationship is up in the air, except for the oddly perfect-for-each-other Sheldon and Amy.
I found the installment and each of the stories to be hilarious and/or to propel the characters forward. Overall, as a season finale, it gave me the laughs I expect and left me sitting in anticipation for the show to return in September.
I'm not sure you can ask for more from a finale. Over the last half of the season, the writers were able to find a nice balance for the new, enlarged ensemble cast.
I try to stay spoiler free, but I read a comment on a previous post of mine about Raj moving in with Sheldon. Initially, I couldn't think of a way that I would enjoy that idea, but they pulled it off.
I wasn't expecting the pairing of Sheldon and Raj to be that funny. But Raj's desire to be liked and to fit in and Sheldon's need for rules led to them complementing each other quite well. I wouldn't mind them staying roommates for a while.
Perhaps, next season, Leonard can rebound right into Penny's apartment!While the roommate swapping was happening, two relationships were troubled. Howard was again reminded that he didn't have his PhD. That ego-crushing wasn't even the worst of it for him, as he also had to deal with her making much more money.
It was painful to watch, but I think they will ultimately work it out. Maybe Howard will decide it is time to get a PhD or just get over it. While I felt bad for him, the ribbing at the Cheesecake Factory was pretty funny. I mean, Penny - a waitress - even got in on it!
Penny, oh, Penny. Did they or didn't they, that is the real Shakespearean question of the episode. To be honest, I'm not sure how I feel about this. At first, I thought it was pretty funny, but now, I think it is just sad.
Penny revealed her true feelings for Leonard, but then ended up in bed with Raj. And poor Raj couldn't even talk to her in the morning. I'm going to wait until the show returns and I can see how it all plays out before I decide if I like this new entanglement or not.
Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this season, in particular, the growth of our nerdy friends and the addition of Bernadette, Amy and even Priya to the mix. These relationships were brought to a perfect, somewhat cliffhanging, spot in the finale.
Comment on the finale below and browse some of the best Big Bang Theory quotes from the episode here. Lastly, be honest: how many of you tried to give yourself a massage? I know you did!

do you remember friends ???:::: ross and rachel broke up in the second or third season,,,, they end up together in the last episode ....
I think that the writters are just doing it so they will asure a job for many years....
actually I have some ideas about what 'd happpen next season but ... to make up the Sººº the writers did it will take a lot of timw
I can't begin to express how disappointed I am with this show. I absolutely despise shows as 90210, Grey's Anatomy and all that other emo/drama crap. And now this happens in my once favorite show. The total annihilation of two of my favorite characters.
I love the idea of penny n raj sleeping together, as soon as they were drinking n new it, penny n leonard never work hope this is the point were they drop the hole penny n leonard is getting lame, he is good with prya is perfect 4 him... I know that they r going to keep the hole penny n raj thing... but i like 2 see more raj with bernadette, but it works with penny.
I hated the ending. There is no way Penny would have done such a thing. She would have known it would hurt Leonard. She spent the entire season coming to know that she really loves him and screwed up. There isn't enough booze in the world to get her to do what she did. Very bad writing. A very contrived scene, including all the guys making it there for the walk of shame. If someone doesn't jump out first episode of season 5 and yell bazinga and make this trash go away, I am off. It actually made me feel sick. I can't watch the old episodes anymore without feeling lousy. This never happened to me with any TV show before. Maybe I should call it quits.
I love the larger cast. Although Priya is more villainous, I think she should remain in the cast. I think the show does well with this larger cast and it is much funnier. Amy is hilarious. It is funny that She has her doctrine in real life. She used to play Blossom as a child star and now Amy. She's perfect for Sheldon. I think the show really needed a group of girls. Penny is very funny also.
P.S. TVFanatic, even though you'll delete my post within 48 hours (we completely understand, no worries), we're big fans at Findthatstyle and use you guys as case studies :) And... Big Bang Theory is the sh*t.
@Kevin - Arguable at best :P The post was actually made to be used as a demonstration to our interns at tomorrow's meeting (which also happens to be my birthday). Cut me some slack this once? ;) Cheers!
Kevin Whitley, You are an ASS!
I'll bet it turns out that Penny is pregnant 'cause that is where all my favorite shows seem to go next season (90210, Gossip Girl, Grey's, Bones). I hope not of course Penny and Leonard forever!! BTW totally loved the Bernadette and Wolowitz thing where she gave him the Rolex and turned him into a trophy husband with on etiny expensive gesture.
Also, everyone hasn't slept with everyone... There was Penny/Leonard and now a one night stand with Raj... Otherwise the couples have all been the same...Bernadette with Howard...Raj with no one...Sheldon and his quasi gf Amy. That's really not everyone sleeping with everyone, considering that it's a tv show heavily involving sex...It's really not that poly amorous. The only other cross over was Leslie Winkler and her character was established as very sexual.

On the ABC TV Q & A program on June 9, 2014, titled Primates, Populism and Utopia, a video question from an audience member asked the panel of respected elder Australians (across the arts, anthropology, journalism and academia) whether the responsibility of art was to bring people to passionate awareness of reality.
A doyen of the visual art world in Australia, and former National Gallery of Australia director, Betty Churcher responded to the question by noting that the arts (in general) in recent times has certainly brought Australians together.
A study, The Arts in Daily Life: Australian Participation in the Arts, released in late May this year, from the Australia Council supports Churcher's claim.
Based on national sample of 3,000 people living in Australia conducted in late 2013, the survey covered visual arts and crafts, music, theatre, dance and literature, as well as community and Indigenous arts.
It found that more than 95 per cent of Australians has engaged with the arts in the past 12 months.
Examining consumers as well as creators, the Australia Council reported that over 48 per cent of Australians were creating art in 2013, compared to 41 per cent in 2009.
The study highlighted that one in three Australians are creating visual arts and crafts, which is up to 30 per cent in 2013 from 22 per cent in 2009.
These findings support the American urban studies guru, Richard Florida's creative class thesis which contends that over one third of today's workforce consist of the creative types.
In despite his many critics, since 2002 Florida has argued that the creative class is the economic force of the new industries and businesses; and 'therefore the dominant class in society in terms of influence' with 'the power, talent and numbers to reshape the world'.
If Australia is aligned with Florida's world, then we are also a musical nation where one in five Australians are making music, which is up 20 per cent in 2013 from 15 per cent in 2009.
Literature is also important to us and reading (especially the novel) is still our popular pastime with over 87 per cent of the population reading in 2013, which is slightly up from 84 per cent in 2009.
Ninety-two per cent of Australians also feel that Indigenous arts are an critical part of Australia's culture, a point which Betty Churcher along with Amatjere Indigenous elder, Rosalie Kunoth-Monks, a Aboriginal activist from Alice Springs and former lead actor in Charles and Elsa Chauvels' seminal 1955 Australian film classic, Jedda, alluded to on the ABC program last night.
Perhaps most importantly, the study found that 66 per cent of Australians think the arts have a big impact on the development of children; and can influences their participation as an adult.
This last point is of particular importance to me, as an Arts and Culture coordinator of a large undergraduatejournalism unit at Monash, which runs in 2nd semester this year.
Since 2010 in this highly popular, third year elective unit over 100 journalism students explore the research and reporting practices associated with contemporary arts and culture.
Reporting Arts and Culture canvasses contemporary issues and case studies across the visual and performing arts, cinema, comedy, music and literary reporting.
It examines the key personalities and institutions in the cultural world and critically considers the professional and social implications and accountabilities of reporting in the fields.
What the students are reporting on in (as noted in the Australian Council study) is the growing demand for cultural related events, where arts journalists (alias critics) have the responsibility of communicating the transformative nature of the arts.
Similar to outcomes from the Australian Council study, I hope that from this tertiary arts educational experience these 18 to 24 year olds emerging cultural critics will develop a stronger ability to think creatively and develop new ideas.
As Sebastian Smee, former art critic with The Australian said: "Inside every critic is a painter, photographer or sculptor fantasising about the opening of their own sell-out show".
Participating and education in the arts is not an indulgence, it is a necessity. As the Australian Council reflected, it improves our sense of wellbeing, and the ability to deal with stress, anxiety or depression, which is often so prevalent in our busy lives.
More than 85 per cent of Australians surveyed in The Arts in Daily Life: Australian Participation in the Arts study affirmed that the arts have a fundamental place in our culturally diverse lives and offers a richer and more meaningful life.
Cultural activity is part of our soft power diplomacy. It is a way of understanding our national psyche. Investment in all creative fields adds cultural value to society as a whole.
But in the recent Federal budget cuts, our peak cultural organisations such as the Australia Council and Screen Australia stand to lose more than 10 per cent of their annual budgets, which will means few grants to artists and arts organisations.
Despite this, the Abbott government, with Senator George Brandis at the helm as Arts Minister, has sought to reassure the Australian arts community that the Government remains pro-arts, despite slashing millions of dollars from the sector.
In this current post budget climate are these motherhood statements about the arts meaningless?

In the first chart you see here, projected sales and actual sales revenues (dollars, not cases) are shown as columns, clustered side by side.
Imagine, however, that you'd like to create a chart to place extra emphasis on the differences between projected sales and actual sales.
A combination chart that uses two different chart types can place just this kind of emphasis on data.
The second chart here combines a Column chart to show actual sales with a Line chart to show projected sales. The difference between projected and actual sales catches your eye more quickly and effectively than in the all-columns chart. Although both charts use identical data, the second chart is clearly more informative.
It's easy to create a combination chart. In this example, you'd click on a column for the projected sales to select all the columns for that data series. Then you'd select a Line chart type in the Chart Type dialog box. You'll see how in the practice session.

Junior in college...should I go to Ivy Tech or apply for BSN?
- 0Mar 3, '08 by jetaimeparisI'm doing pretty well but I just want to gradute asap and make some money.
I've been thinking about applying for BSN at Nursing schools in several campuses and several others but stumbled upon the idea of
Community Colleges.
I have almost all of my pre req's finished but with a 3.3 I don't know if
I could get into BSN program.
Any advices? Anything will be very much appreciated.
I really have no clue as to what LPN is and etc...Last edit by traumaRUs on Jan 7, '10
- 0Mar 3, '08 by jetaimeparisOh I'm just a biology major - just looked into nursing.
Sorry if I confused you, not really myself today.
Anyways, my question is if you are a student in college studying for a biology or science degree, which route would be better, 1. transferring to a CC to be a RN (ASN -LPN - RN I think?) or 2. Applying to a traditional nursing school for BSN..
Hope this makes sense
- 1Mar 3, '08 by coltsgrlfrom what I have heard, and read on here...it doesn't seem to matter if you have an associates degree or a bachelors degree in nursing. (unless you are wanting to go into management) also the pay is the same either way. soooo.....
I am currently at Ivy Tech in Indy/Lawrence Campus, but I am assuming that you are in Bloomington...which there is an Ivy Tech there too.
An LPN is a Lic. Practical Nurse, it is a one year program after you have finished your pre-req's (which you most likely have)
LPN's make about 15-18 an hour
the ASN (assoc RN degree) is 2 years after pre-reqs and pays 20-22 +/-
also, if you want to just get in and get out, the LPN program is a little easier to get into, and after a year you can do an LPN to RN transition program (that your employer at the time will most likely pay for)
good luck!:spin:
- 1Mar 3, '08 by Innurse78A nurse with a BSN makes much more than a nurse with an ASN.
- 1Mar 6, '08 by racing-mom4Quote from mrs.frogAs far as floor nursing goes, the ASN's and the BSN's each make the same--they hire in exactly the same. At least in the Ft.Wayne area. Having your BSN will allow you to apply for more managmet jobs. But I know of a clinical care cordinator who has many BSNs working under her, she has a 60+ specialty dept and she has her ASN.A nurse with a BSN makes much more than a nurse with an ASN.
As far as the orginal post. I would pursue your ASN at either a University or Communiy Col. THere are many bridge programs now you can utilize to advance from there. Keep this in mind. ASN students take thier boards 2 years after entering nursing school, BSN's take thier boards 4 years after starting nursing school. So that means some of thier initial clinicals are 4 years old.
Once you are a RN, if that be, ASN or BSN. You only take boards once. So you may as well start with your ASN, become an RN, work, then bridge to your BSN if you so choose.
Best of luck!!
- 1Mar 6, '08 by pnkrocdevil:yeahthat:
While I was researching this same question when I started school I also found another advantage to starting with ADN the doing RN to BSN is tuition reimbursement. Many of the hospitals around here (I live in NW Indiana and plan on working in Chicago) offer 100% tuition payback for completing a BSN. So you can work as an RN and have them pay your tuition while you attend RN to BSN. Not sure if the smaller hospitals offer this but if you live by Indianapolis or another large city you may want to look into it.
- 1Mar 6, '08 by Innurse78I stand corrected............a nurse with a BSN DOES make more than a nurse with an ASN in management.
Most places prefer a BSN............and there is talk of the Ivy Tech in Bloomington only having the BSN program in conjunction with IU.
- 0Mar 6, '08 by jetaimeparisthank you all for the comments
it helped me a great deal! i was torn between the two but
i think i know (at least a little) how i'm going to do this!
thank you!
- 0Mar 7, '08 by jackson145Quote from mrs.frogThat doesn't hold true at all hospitals. At mine, all RN's have the same base rate of pay to start out. It doesn't matter what area you are in (specialty area, med/surg, OB, ect) are whether you are BSN or ASN. The only advantage to the BSN at my place is the possibility of snagging a department head position.A nurse with a BSN makes much more than a nurse with an ASN.
