By Leland from USA on 2007-09-05 19:55:02Things I liked:Highly accurate .22 cal pistol with a large hand grip that can be nestled on your collar bone to give you the comfortable secure grasp of a rifle without the extra weight and bulk. I use a Bushnell Trophy R/G dot scope to get very quick target acquisition up to thirty yards. (Skip regular pistol scopes that only focus at an arm's length.)
Things I would have changed:When firing, Evanix releases the air charge directly into the cylinder to propel the pellet forward through the barrell of the pistol, similar to the mechanism of a firearm revolver. This causes noise and blowback from the firing mechanism, a problem resolved by Korean rifle manufacturers.
What others should know:By reducing the muzzle report with a modifier and using a fill pressure of 1500 psi, this pistol gives six fairly quiet accurate shots with Beeman Kodiaks that puts my RWS scoped 460 rifle to shame. If you already have a scuba tank setup with a PCP rifle, this pistol gives affordable portable power when you don't feel like lugging around a rifle, and it outshoots a Browning Buckmark 22 hands down.

By Stephen from USA on 2013-02-08 21:51:58Things I liked:Nothing as after 2 weeks I cannot shoot this pistol. If you have a foster fitting on your pump/tank you need to order a special conversion fitting for $10 and this is not clear from the product description. Please note the quality of the fitting is horrible. It does NOT fit into a foster female adapter due to poor workmanship and bad tolerances.
Things I would have changed:CLEARLY communicate on the product description the need for proper fittings. Actually inspect and make sure the conversion fittings work and fit their respective counterparts.
What others should know:Gun finish is good but w/out correct fittings the gun cannot be charged,

Erin Bream is a senior from Tacoma, Washington, majoring in international relations and economics. After spending a semester on the Washington Program and another in Havana, Cuba, during her sophomore and junior years, she is eager for the opportunity to spend an entire year in Claremont as part of the most dynamic place on CMC's campus! When she isn't eating chocolate-covered strawberries at the Ath, you can find her in the student apartments, playing tennis, or watching The Daily Show. Erin hopes to have a hand in bringing engaging speakers on salient issues, and invites other students to let her know their suggestions for events and speakers they would like to see at the Ath this and next year. She hopes that her fellow students will take advantage of the many opportunities that the Ath provides.
Jacquelyn Dadakis is entering her senior year at Claremont McKenna College. She spent her first 18 years in Greenwich, Connecticut, but took off to the West Coast on a whim for her college years.

Cooking According to the Seasons: A Tantric Perspective
If you cannot face directly your sexuality, you will never discover your true spirituality. ~White Tigress Manual
Yoga is suppression with awareness; tantra is indulgence with awareness.
The root word "tantra" means "to stretch or continue without break," or to create a sacred union with universal energy. By cooking according to the seasons, you revitalize your sex life by attaining that subtle balance of nutrients and energies that nourish you, body and spirit, and connect you with the natural world.
Here are three ways cooking nourishes your connection with Nature:
1. Cooking connects you with the present moment.
Ancient Tantric practitioners reached the highest union through sex by embracing the present moment through their senses. You also learn to cultivate your connection with the present moment by cooking according to the seasons.
2. Cooking awakens your intuition.
Cooking according to the seasons helps you strengthen your connection with nature and universal forces. These universal forces are also known as intuition or inner guidance. Through cooking, you connect with your senses, which are a profound resource for awakening your intuition to heal from the inside out.
3. Food preparation is a sacred ritual.
You use your loving intention (guided by intuition) to improve the quality of food. This healing food removes blockages in the energy flow through the body. Benefits include:
- Improved sexual health
- Greater emotional stability
- Radiant complexion
- Higher levels of immunity
- Fewer doctor trips
- More abundant joy!

Texas Lakers Fan wrote:Pau didn't post up much last season and still averaged 17 points and 10 boards on 50 percent shooting. He was an exceptional mid range jump shooter last season. This season he's just missing wide open shots. I would expect that as this season goes on those shots will start to fall and Pau will have another season of shooting over 50 percent.
He posted up a lot more last year. Way more., Metta is taking a bigger role in offense this year and hence lesser shot opportunities for Pau. Pau is the better player he should be posting up and demanding the ball but thats not Pau's nature.
Pau is shooting 40% for the year which is pathetic for a big man...its even worse considering he plays next to Kobe and Howard and gets soooo many open looks.

X7 Type 2 Rear Derailleur
Trickle-down technology continues to make high-tech more affordable, and SRAM's 10-speed drivetrain offerings are no exception. SRAM's cheekily named Type 2 (the silent killer) clutch-type rear mech has been introduced at the X7 level, meaning a 293-gram 10-speed rear-derailleur sans chain slap with an $89 MSRP. The X7 Type 2 has a 36-tooth maximum capacity and is offered in short, medium and long-cage options.
CAGE LOCK is also par for the course in Type 2 territory, meaning you can lock the cage in place—i.e., extended—with the push of a button to make trailside maintenance less of a headache. Things are much easier when you have both hands free to fumble with tire levers.
10-Speed Shifters
SRAM also let on that the majority of its 10-speed shifters—X0, X9 and X7—will now be outfitted with the same internals as the top-of-the-line XX shifters.
The new X0 shifter will retail for $262 and gets all the goods: ball-bearing pull lever, adjustable pull lever and three different colors to choose from—the latter being the most important.
All three versions go on a diet, allowing for an easier fit among the ever-increasingly crowded handlebar real-estate with proliferation of bar-mounted remotes for suspension, dropper posts, etc. The box for Zero Loss Shifting—read instant—will also be checked off on all updated shifters.
The new X9 shifters will retail for $123 and feature a ball-bearing pull lever.
The affordable workhorse of the line, the X7, gets a price tag of $70 and a quick cable change port.

Once again, Takashi and his friends are without shelter and on the run. The group gradually makes their way to the local police station, where the hungry officers within give a whole new meaning to the phrase "police brutality."
After tidying up, the team reloads and begins their search of the station: Rei for news of her father, and Saya for information. There may be one last chance for them to get out of town, but with Rei and Takashi's parents still unaccounted for and a throng of undead standing between them and freedom, will the friends be able to make it in time?

Results tagged "plural"
Collective nouns
Apart from collective nouns like police and cattle that always take a plural verb, there are different approaches taken in different countries where English is spoken. In American English, the general tendency is to use the singular. Indeed, some American speakers regard the plural as incorrect. In British English, the plural is much more widespread, though when the collective noun is seen as a single thing and not a collection of individuals, then the singular is preferred, so British speakers might say that a company is being sold, but may use the plural when thinking about the company's operations. The BBC states its policy is to use the plural when talking about a team, etc. In Australian English, the singular is becoming more common than the plural, but both are used.

I've come to the conclusion that I am an Atheist gradually over the last few years. (Which IMHO is exactly how most people should come to that conclusion since I firmly believe that a lot of people who claim faith actually are Atheists but simply define belief differently.)
But that's another topic.
My Question/Comment is how much responsibility do we suppose is required of the non believer in understanding religions?
I mean can I, as a former Roman Catholic (although admittedly an "arm chair" catholic) say that I no longer believe without a fairly comprehensive understanding of the bible and catholic dogma?
I am often annoyed at the staggering ignorance of many "believers" when pressed on the matter. I've yet to find anyone in casual circles that in debate can't be defeated by simply asking them to specifically define what it is exactly that they believe. Usually this ends up in their frustration and admission something like "I'm not really religious but I just believe in God"
And pressing them further usually ends up in further frustration and eventually they end up angry. I'm sure we've all seen it but I admit that I never get tired of it. LOL. Sorry I really didn't enjoy flipping turtles as a child.
But back on point. I can't help feeling a bit of a hypocrite because I can't really claim intimate knowledge of any religion.
Is it enough to be skeptical? Can I simply put the burden of proof upon the "believer"?

Birds are an important — and highly visible — part of the ecosystem. Bird watching is one of the fastest growing recreational activities in the United States, generating sizable economic benefits. An estimated 63 million Americans feed birds at home, and more than 24 million travel to watch birds.
Birds are important ecologically as well as economically. They are vital links in many food webs, and often serve as biological indicators of overall ecosystem health. There are numerous organizations that work toward bird conservation. Through activities such as wetlands protection, coastal management, protection of aquatic resources and regulation of pesticides, government organizations and special interest groups contribute to the conservation of birds and their habitats.

The fourth round of the Varsity Cup will see the exciting clash between Maties and Tuks in Stellenbosch.
The fact that this match will not be televised is ridiculous. Varsity Cup managing director Duitser Bosman explained that the tournament organisers have scheduled the televised matches according to the teams' placings last year, but this round has proved it is a flawed procedure. All Varsity Cup lovers will want to follow the action at Danie Craven Stadium this evening, but now only those in Stellenbosch will be able to watch the action.
It should be a closely contested fixture – a potential clash of the season. Both teams have shown great form during their three-match winning streaks, and will want to carry an unbeaten record into the next round. Tuks have been impressive all around, with their mobile forwards and their pacy backline playing a key part in their expansive game plan. Maties will be more direct in their approach. The hosts boast a strong and physical pack, that will need to set the momentum up front.
In Port Elizabeth, UCT will want to added to their win against TUT last week when they face NMMU in the early game. Ikeys suffered a poor start to the season, but scored nine tries in their 66-2 drubbing of the Vikings. The Madibaz have been inconsistent over the past three rounds, but should prove to be a challenge for Ikeys on home soil.
In Bloemfontein, Shimlas and UJ face off in a crucial game. With Maties or Tuks likely to drop points, it gives both teams an opportunity to make valuable ground. A win could be the major turning point for either side. A defeat for the hosts might cost them a top-four spot later this season.
In Potchefstroom, Pukke will enjoy an easy outing against hapless TUT. The Tshwane outfit have been the whipping boys of the competition this season and can expect another hiding from the hosts, who will be desperate for a win following back-to-back defeats.

ELON — Christi Skenes heard her phone ring last Sept. 26, glanced at it, but didn't recognize the number. She answered, anyway.
That's long been the habit for Christi, whose oldest son, Matt Baulding, 25, is an Army cavalry scout and was last September stationed in Afghanistan. Christi never knows when she'll get a call from her son or what number he might be calling from.
When Christi answered, Matt was on the phone. But Christi knew instinctively something was up.
"He said, 'Guess what?'" Christi recalled. "It was him, but I knew something was wrong. I absolutely went numb. It was like I was walking through a dream."
Her fears were founded when Matt relayed the reason for his call. He was wounded, he told his mother, but he also assured her he was going to be OK.
The same couldn't be said for several of the other soldiers who were with Matt that day in Afghanistan. Matt holds the rank of specialist, a member of the Army's 173rd 1-91 Cav-A Troop, 3rd platoon.
The incident where Matt was wounded was a confusing piece of a confusing war. On that particular day, he was a member of a group of eight soldiers on patrol. They took cover after coming under rifle fire, then returned fire.
During the middle of it all, an old man with a long, white beard approached down a foot path. Matt and his cohorts yelled at him to stop, to try to warn him of the dangers.
But he continued toward them and then blew himself up — a suicide bomber. The bomb he was wearing contained fishing weights, mini-balls, nails and any other bit of scrap metal those who assembled it could find.
Two of the soldiers were killed. Three — Matt, included — were wounded. One of the three was critically injured. Matt suffered wounds to his right leg, shrapnel from the incident he'll carry the rest of his life.
Christi said it's the Army's practice to allow wounded soldiers to be the first to call their families when possible. That's done, she said, to relieve as much as possible the anxiety of learning of the injury to a loved one.
Matt was flown from the site to a temporary medical facility in Afghanistan, then transported to a military hospital in Germany. He underwent three surgeries. Christi said her son told her he was well taken care of at the hospital, with representatives of a local ladies group at one point covering him with a handmade quilt of valor.
Christi said Matt was visited by Philip D. Murphy, the U.S. ambassador to Germany, and local officials who gave him commemorative coins from the country. He was presented the Purple Heart for his injuries.
Matt is currently stationed in Schweinfurt, Germany, where he's expected to serve out the remainder of his enlistment. He'll be leaving the Army in a little more than a year.
Matt graduated from Western Alamance High School in 2005. He joined the Army about three years ago. Christi said that before her son enlisted, she spoke to him about the dangers that come from military service.
"He said, 'Mom, if something happens, at least I'll have died doing what I wanted to do,' " Christi said Matt replied.
Matt is one of three sons of Skenes and John Baulding. Their stepfather is John Skenes III.
Matt's brothers are Phillip Baulding, 20, and Joshua Baulding, 22. Phillip is a lance corporal in the Marines. He serves in the 2nd Division, 6th Marines and is stationed at Camp Lejeune. Joshua works for Chemco Electric.
Christi said her sons are all close. Matt was able to return home for leave a few weeks ago and all the brothers got together for a bit of male bonding.
"They stay in touch as much as they can," Christi said.
She said she's seen changes in Matt and Phillip since they joined the military.
"They seem to have matured a whole lot," she said. "The things they took for granted, they don't take for granted, anymore. They seem to have really grown as people."
Phillip joined the Marines just last year and wasn't far out of boot camp when his brother was wounded, his mother said. Phillip is currently involved in sniper training at Twenty-Nine Palms, Calif.
Christi said she knows she won't see Matt or Phillip for Mother's Day, but said she holds out hope one or both might call.
"I don't dwell on where they are and what they're doing," she said. "It really gets to you if you dwell on it. I just look forward to hearing their voices."
Of a Mother's Day without her sons, Christi said, "They're not able to be here, but they'll always be in my heart."

Mental Health: Factitious Disorders
Factitious disorders are conditions in which a person acts as if he or she has a physical or mental illness when he or she is not really sick. Factitious disorder by proxy is when a person acts as if a person in their care has an illness when they do not.
People with factitious disorders deliberately create or exaggerate symptoms of an illness in several ways. They may lie about or fake symptoms, hurt themselves to bring on symptoms, or alter tests (such as contaminating a urine sample) to make it look like they or the person in their care are sick.
People with factitious disorders behave this way because of an inner need to be seen as ill or injured, not to achieve a clear benefit, such as financial gain. People with factitious disorders are even willing and sometimes eager to undergo painful or risky tests and operations in order to obtain the sympathy and special attention given to people who are truly ill or have a loved one who is ill. Factitious disorders are considered mental illnesses because they are associated with severe emotional difficulties.
Many people with factitious disorders also suffer from other mental conditions, particularly personality disorders. People with personality disorders have long-standing patterns of thinking and acting that differ from what society considers usual or normal. These people generally also have poor coping skills and problems forming healthy relationships.
Factitious disorders are similar to another group of mental disorders called somatoform disorders, which also involve the presence of symptoms that are not due to actual physical or mental illnesses. The main difference between the two groups of disorders is that people with somatoform disorders do not fake symptoms or mislead others about their symptoms on purpose.
Types of Factitious Disorders
There are four main types of factitious disorders, including:

In August 1999, Tony Hsieh invests $500,000 in what is universally considered a bad idea: an online shoe store.
Zappos, having been rejected by numerous VCs, runs out of money in January 2000. As employees clean out their desks, Hsieh decides he will keep funding the company. Soon after, he becomes CEO.
Six months after the dotcom crash, Zappos is once again out of money. Hsieh lays off half the staff in October 2000. He sets his own salary at $24.
To pay for a new warehouse in Kentucky, Hsieh sells his San Francisco loft. By the end of 2002, sales hit $32 million, but there are still no profits.
In March 2004, Hsieh moves the Zappos headquarters from San Francisco to Las Vegas in order to hire more experienced call-center workers. Today, the company's warehouse and office there is a popular destination for entrepreneurs visiting Sin City, and employees perform cheers to entertain tour groups.
With sales up to $184 million, Zappos persuades Sequoia Capital to invest $20 million in October 2004. The firm, which has backed a roster of web all-stars including Google, PayPal, LinkedIn, and YouTube, would, Hsieh says, eventually pressure him to curtail Zappos' commitment to its idiosyncratic culture in order to improve the company's overall financial performance.
In August 2005, Amazon chairman and CEO Jeff Bezos flies to Las Vegas and offers to buy Zappos, which now has sales of $370 million. Hsieh says no. "I felt like we were just getting started," Hsieh says. "If we sold, we'd probably be folded into their operations, and our brand and culture would be at risk of disappearing."
Amid the annual holiday buying season, Zappos tops $100 million in monthly merchandise sales in December 2007, ending the year with revenue of $840 million and, for the first time, a profit.
In April 2009, Hsieh meets Bezos in Seattle. The Amazon founder says he is willing to let Zappos operate independently. Negotiations ensue. What changed over the intervening two years? "It seemed clear that Amazon had come to appreciate our company culture as well as our strong sales," Hsieh says.
Amazon buys Zappos for $1.2 billion in November 2009. Sequoia Capital made $248 million on its investment. Hsieh remains the company's CEO at his current salary of $36,000 per year. In the first quarter of 2010, net sales at Zappos were up almost 50 percent.

The Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L USM is the ultimate wide-angle lens. It allows photographers to take pictures with unusual angles and in tight spaces. But the lens was tripped up in DxOMark testing in one important category.
While Canon updated its EF 16-35mm f/2.8L USM in 2007, the ultra-wide-angle lens still remains popular among photojournalists and other professional photographers for its ability to focus just centimeters away from their subjects. The lens also allows for sweeping wide-angled pictures, making it an ideal piece of glass for lanscape photographers looking to be the next Ansel Adams. As an added bonus, the lens' f/2.8 aperture helps users excel in lowlight and nighttime environments.
But how does this lens compare to its replacement – the EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM? Or how about alternative lenses like Sigma, or rivals like Sony and Nikon? DxOMark has some answers.
Strengths of the EF 16-35mm f/2.8L USM include:
Weaknesses of the lens include:
From the surface, Canon's EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM largely resembles its 2001 predecessor. The biggest physical differences of the EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM come down to its extra 40 grams of weight and an added centimeter in length. More striking differences between the two pieces of glass can be found inside the lenses, with the EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM making improvments overs its sibling in:
Much better control of chromatic aberration, a defect that dogged the EF 16-35mm f/2.8L USM.
The roughly $1,700 (USD) lens also made small improvements in brightness. It also better contained vignetting.
How does Canon's EF 16-35mm f/2.8L USM compare to similar wide-angle lenses made by Canon's biggest rivals and the camera industry's other titans – Sony and Nikon?
Chromatic aberration was much better controlled in Sony's Vario-Sonnar T* 16-35mm f/2.8 ZA SSM and Nikon's AF-S Nikkor 16-35mm f/4G ED VR. But it is important to note that this defect was rectified in the newer Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM. Canon's older 16-35mm was still able to compete with the best, standing up to its rival in nearly every other category. It equalized Sony's score for resolution, and trailed Nikon's lens by just 4lp/mm. It ran in the middle of the pack for brightness and vignetting.
Other advantages of the Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L USM include:
Perks of the 2009 released Sony's Vario-Sonnar T* 16-35mm f/2.8 ZA SSM include:
Strenghts of Nikon's AF-S Nikkor 16-35mm f/4G ED VR are:
However, it's important to note that the widest the Nikon AF-S Nikkor 16-35mm f/4G ED VR's aperture reaches is f/4. With its tested transmission score of 4.6 T-stop, the lens will struggle in the dark and lowlight conditions.
The Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L USM is a dependable and bright lens with sharp resolution and good control of vignetting. However, the camera's big weakness is chromatic aberration, which will create unflattering pictures for photographers who frequently work in high contrast conditions. Canon lovers should consider ponying up the extra money to spend on the updated version of the EF 16-35mm f/2.8L USM, the EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM. The latter does a more superior job at putting chromatic aberration in check.

Meanwhile, another summer day ends in the city of Chicago.
Two years ago, a black teenager sitting in the school bus got fatally shot by another 16-year-old black teenager. The latter was a gang member looking for rival gang members. His friend handed him a .40 caliber handgun and he fired at the bus, injuring four other kids besides the boy he killed.
Today, the youthful killer, now 18 years old, sat in the courtroom with a cocky sneer on his face while the judge sentenced him to 100 years in jail.
When asked by the judge if he had anything to say he replied: "No, I'm good".
The father of the slain boy is a Chicago cop who has now become an advocate of gun-control.
The mother of the convicted boy walked out of the courtroom crying: "100 years!"
A young boy dead. His parents will never be as happy as they were when he was still with them. A mother worrying about her boy locked away for life. What will she be thinking about tonight and all the other nights of her life ?
A young, stupid kid might make a fine criminal if he ever makes it out of jail, considering the people he lived with.
A citizenry that feels better for a day, because the bad guy is locked away.
They will feel better until the next young delinquent does something stupid while packing heat.
It is a common feature in my city that the people who die because of gunfire had nothing to do with the shooter.
A few weeks ago, a plain-clothed cop got shot in the head because some gang members thought he was a rival gangbanger.
A week after that, a toddler got shot in the crossfire of a drive by.
And so it goes.
The best of us are febrile apes when we are at our finest.
Certainly yours truly isn't far removed from madness at any given time and I would never want to have a firearm laying around my house.
A scared little punk from the ghetto commits a truly heinous and stupid and pointless crime and all we can think of as a society is to throw the book at him.
Hooray, another young black man in jail.
Problem solved.
And another day dawns on the windy city and all is well.

Blue Avocado offers products for women on the go that are light on environmental waste and heavy on sass, style, and inspiration. Through a mixable family of multipurpose bags and accessories, BlueAvocado products collapse and fold to create the perfect on the go system that works for any lifestyle.

Featuring a premium line of certified recycled REPREVE fibers, Blue Avocado makes it easy for anyone to reduce environmental waste and inspires a functional, collapsible, and super cute way to remove the bag clutter from your life - and look good doing it!
Love Your BaggerThe average grocery bagger has about 7 seconds to spend with every bag he packs. While that's nowhere near enough time to fully appreciate the gro-pak family of products, it's plenty of time to pack it full of groceries. Here are a couple of tips to help him "get it done."
Each bag has a special purpose. You want your produce in your mesh pod and your frozens in your hip chil or big chil. So when you're emptying your cart onto the belt, the items you want in that bag. For example, if you want all your frozen goods in your Big Chil, lay the Big Chil on the belt first, and then place your frozen goods behind it. Repeat this step with every bag. This way, your bagger will get a bag and a nice trail of goodies to fill it with - within 7 seconds of course.
Remembering Your Bags"I always forget..." Here are some tips and tools to make the BlueAvocado family a part of your everyday life.
Bag ClutterIf you're a first-generation reusable bagger, then you probably have bags out the wazoo. Here are a few ways to clear the bag clutter:
Yes! BlueAvocado bags are made from polyester made from recycled materials and are machine washable with cold water, and hang dry. These products are made from 50% recycled REPREVE polyester fibers which are traceable, transparent and certifiably sustainable using post-consumer (PET bottles).
Do Blue Avocado Bags contain lead?Blue Avocado's fabric does not contain any detectable levels of lead. Based on September 2010 test reports from SGS, the world's leading inspection, verification, testing and certification company, BlueAvocado fabric and insulation are lead-free and compliant with SGS testing including Prop65 measures which adhere to the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act that was enacted in California in 1986 to address growing concerns about exposures to toxic chemicals. Blue Avocado materials are made with Repreve recycled polyester fibers from Unifi, which provides an additional level of testing against Oeko-Tex 100 Standard for Class 1 Criteria, which is the most stringent category. Lead consistently tests as "none detected." In addition, Repreve's unique UTRUST certification program ensures a clean and traceable water stream made from plastic bottles and waste yarn. BlueAvocado offers customers two ways to reduce their impact on the planet - by reclaiming waste bottles into useful products and by avoiding hundreds of plastic bags annually. BlueAvocado continues to look for ways to offer safe, sustainable products to inspire and delight their customers.
Why Blue Avocado?The dream for starting Blue Avocado was to empower everyday shoppers to take small steps that make a BIG impact on the environment and the communities in which they live. Not just for themselves - but most important for future generations.
Blue Avocado is about the marriage of style and sustainability. The avocado stands as a symbol for the green that resides inside each of us. And the blue is evocative of style and simplicity - those traits that make it easy to grab hold of the movement and bring some joy back into the shopping experience.
The idea behind Blue Avocado is to create lifestyle products that make it easy to do good and ultimately get it done - in style.
How did Blue Avocado get started?Facing the imminent plastic bags bans that were occurring across the country - and specifically in their hometown Austin, Texas - they came together as 3 women, each with different styles and sensibilities to tackle the issue.
They spoke to over 300 people - family, friends, and colleagues - to determine what was needed to start to change shopping behavior. What they heard overwhelmingly is that people were tired of having to choose between what was convenient and what was right. To create the ripple they hoped to make, they were told they needed to create something that is cute, convenient and green - hands down.
Ten prototypes later, and lots of feedback under their belts, they launched with the Gro-Pak, the first fashion-forward grocery system that tackles functionality (produce, insulated, carry-all and stuff-n-go bags) and collapsibility (all bags fold into themselves as well as the main pack for easy storage - eliminating the clutter). And they have tried to make it fashionable to help people remember their bags. When all is said and done, the hope is that these bags bring a little joy back into the shopping experience. And now, they have extended the product line into new categories including lunch, travel and storage to create the perfect mix of products to fit any on-the-go lifestyle.
Do you recycle or upcycle old products?Blue Avocado is currently assessing the best end use of these products. They are performing energy analysis to understand the breakdown of the current materials to be reused in future materials. In the meantime, they encourage several aspects of upcycling to include stripping of current fabric to be used for future products, donation to local shelters, art co-ops, or you can send it back to Blue Avocado, and they'll make sure it's upcycled in the most effective manner to the existing product line, or donated to a local shelter.
How are these bags different from other reusable bags?First of all, all Blue Avocado lifestyle products are part of the Gro-Pak system. It is a family of bags. Each bag stands on their own and folds up on their own, but the beauty of it is that they all fold together and collapse - eliminating the clutter of numerous bags strewn in the back of your car or home.
Also, each bag has versatile handles as well as a "d-ring" or caribiner that allows the shopper to carry multiple bags with the weight evenly distributed for the urban walking consumer or the shopper who likes to bring all of their bags in at once.
Finally, each gro pak bag is labeled with a carbon footprint label that highlights the impact (both plastic bags and carbon emissions avoided) per trip and per year.
How "green" is Blue Avocado?It is their vision to avoid 1 billion pounds of CO2 emissions by inspiring customers with products that make it easy to "do good and get it done." From the triple-bottom line business model to their "one-planet" sustainability charter to products and packaging to the Billion Bag Pledge, BlueAvocado is committed to reducing their use of natural resources, avoiding waste and creating social change.
These products invite people to take the first step on a green journey. By using Blue Avocado products, shoppers are able to avoid over 1000 plastic bags annually and nearly 25 pounds of CO2 emissions. These products are made from 50% recycled Repreve polyester materials, which are traceable, transparent and certifiably sustainable using PET bottles.
As part of their commitment to educate and inspire customers at every opportunity, they have introduced the first carbon footprint label for bags that highlights the impact of the number of plastic bags avoided per trip and per year, along with the carbon emissions avoided listed on the label reflects the audited number (provided by Green Mountain Energy) of the entire supply chain. In addition, they provide a carbon footprint for each product. The hope is that this "nutrition label for the planet" helps to provide "conversation starter" for people to recognize the linkage between their shopping behavior and the ultimate carbon impact on the planet.
Their working daily assumption is that there is just one planet, and it will take everyone coming together to preserve and protect it for generations to come.
What is the Billion Bag Pledge, and who is Schlumpy?Blue Avocado has created the billion bag pledge because the devastating environmental effects of plastic bags are too big to ignore. That's why Schlumpy, the plastic 8-foot ball too big to ignore, has traveled to cities like Los Angeles, Austen, Atlanta, Nashville and Chicago, to promote awareness and encourage people to take the first step with the pledge.
Where are the bags manufactured?The bags are manufactured in China. They started their journey over three years ago with an all-organic cotton system manufactured in Texas. It would have had to retail for over $200. The founders came together to make their first major business decision - what was the impact they hoped to achieve through the product offerings? The belief was that the impact would be greater by getting the system into the hands of many versus those of an elite few.
In China, they have visited the facilities and audited their practices to ensure they meet the country's environmental, health, safety and labor requirements. China is the largest manufacturer of recycled materials and because of their commitment to providing product with recycled materials, they would have had to source their materials from there, regardless. As they looked at major retailers across the country and their manufacturing partnerships in China, they realized as a start-up of 3, they must begin there as well. Their manufacturer has become a trusted partner and collaborator.
That said, they have challenged themselves and their suppliers to someday create product right here in their backyard. They are seeking the support of retailers interested in making that investment.
What is the impact Blue Avocado hopes to make?The vision for the company is four-fold:
What has been your impact to date?
What's the big deal about carbon emissions?Carbon dioxide emissions are the most prevalent greenhouse gas, representing about 82% of greenhouse gases. To prevent global warming, they have to find a way as individuals and businesses to reduce CO2 emissions - and it must be done now. In 2006 alone, the US produced 130,083,000,000,000 pounds of CO2.
How do carbon emissions affect global warming?Carbon dioxide is emitted when fossil fuels - such as gasoline, oil, and coal - are burned and it traps heat in the atmosphere. They produce more CO2 than the environment can process, raising the temperature of the planet. If the earth's average temperature increases even a few degrees, gigantic changes can happen. Glaciers can melt. Oceans can get too warm, causing fierce hurricanes. Basically it's a different world than the one we know.
What can I do?
At Blue Avocado, they want to make it easy to do good and get it done. They achieve this mission by inspiring, empowering and enlightening their customers with cool products for a hot planet. Their dream is to build a brand that creates products that inspire through design, invite change through purpose, and deliver results through use.
However, this mission is not just about the customers' journeys - it's about Blue Avocado's. Their collective impact includes their operations, their employees, their manufacturers, their suppliers, their retailers, and their communities.
They have employed a stakeholder-driven business model that challenges them to examine their decisions, protect the biosphere and reduce their impact on the planet.
Start With A RippleBlueAvocado believes that every journey begins with a single step. Ultimately, they hope to turn these ripples into waves - understanding that one small ripple can inspire many more. With that as a guiding philosophy, Blue Avocado partners with non-profit organizations and schools to help them achieve fundraising goals by providing a percentage of of sales to the partner organization. They also look for creative ways in their marketing efforts showcase non-profits and bring attention to their great efforts that make an impact.
Helping HandsBlue Avocado encourages employees to participate in non-profit organizations and make time for them to volunteer at their schools, and with organizations in the community. They hope you will join. Own the momentum and share your passion for a better planet with family, friends and community.
Community Investment Through EntrepreneurshipThrough partnerships with organizations such as Kiva.org and Whole Planet Foundation, Blue Avocado hopes to inspire customers, vendors and strategic partners by investing 1% of their income towards hundreds of micro-enterprises around the globe.

One of the best things about Mid-Autumn celebrations while growing up was finishing my mooncake then lighting up paper lanterns in the backyard with my family to celebrate the beaming moon.
The best lanterns were always the animal shaped ones – oversized and made from red cellophane, they lit up the night sky with a kitsch merriness. Though I'm now a bit too old to be toting around a basketball sized red rabbit lantern, it still brings back fond memories… so I made a mini tealight rabbit lantern for a Mid-Autumn Zakka instead!
I love the fact that it's portable and a bit safer for young kids then running around with an open flame paper lantern. Whilst I used rabbits as my muse, you can also work in simpler shapes like hearts or stars for a different occasion.
Come and continue Mid-Autumn celebrations with me by making and lighting up your mini lanterns!
What you need:
- A sheet of washi paper, trimmed to fit around a small tealight – Tip: Use tissue paper if you don't have any washi paper handy!
- A patterned sheet of origami paper
- A stencil or paper cutter for the shape of your motif – I used a small rabbit-shaped paper clip as my stencil!
- Clear sticky tape
- General craft tools – craft knife, cutting mat, pencil and glue
- Trace 4-5 of your stencils onto the patterned origami paper and using your craft knife, cut it out neatly. If you're using a paper cutter, cut out 4-5 pieces of your desired shape.
- Glue your shapes onto your trimmed sheet of washi/tissue paper – Tip: Make sure there are some towards the top half of the paper; this will make the shape give a shadow when the tealight is lit!
- Tape the trimmed sheet around your tealight – you may need to tape the bottom edge to the base of the tealight to prevent movement of the sheet.
- Light your tealight candle and enjoy!

Food Habits
Hymenolepis diminuta has no digestive tract, all nutrients needed must be absorbed by the tegument, which is the external covering of the cestode. The cestode is covered in tiny posteriorly directed microtriches which increase the absorbtive area of the tegument. The glycocalyx found on the surface membrane of the microtiches is a layer of carbohydrate-containing macromolecules. Interaction between the glycocalyx and certain molecules has been reported to enhance amylase activity in Hymenolepis diminuta, inhibit the host trypsin, chymotrypsin, and pancreatic lipase and increase the absorption of cations and adsorbtion of bile salts.

The ignition module or an ignition coil may fail causing an engine misfire, the Check Engine Light may or may not illuminate. Diagnoses will be required to determine the cause and needed repair.

The power steering assist may be lost intermittently along with illumination of the "power steering" warning message. In most cases, the power steering system will return to normal when the ignition is cycled off and the engine is restarted. General Motors recommends to replace the electric power steering assist motor to correct this problem. They have extended the warranty on the power steering assist motor to 10 years or 100,000 miles on most 2004-2007 Ion models. This is not a "recall" but an extension of the original warranty.

VERSAILLES - One mother is on a mission to protect pedestrians, many of them children, from what she considers a dangerous intersection.
The question of whether or not a traffic light is warranted was put before the Village of Versailles council recently as the local mom asked the village to install a traffic light at the intersection of Center Street and State Route 185 near a library, nursing home and school to help slow down traffic.
"This is a very dangerous intersection, the main walking entrance to the school, the entrance to the library, and is used by many people to get across town. The worst [traffic] is after school about 3 p.m. It gets backed up," said the mom, Versailles resident Stacy Dirksen. "I've been in the traffic jams after school walking, and I've been driving in it also."
She added that while her son isn't in school yet, they walk in the area to the library and school playground, and because she lives two houses away from the intersection, she sees others having problems, and it is common knowledge that people speed there.
"The thing that prompted me [to bring the issue before council] was when my son was almost hit. He was standing in front of the car as it screeched to a stop," Dirksen said.
"The village moved very quickly. I'm very impressed with that," she said of the village processing her request.
The area in question is at the intersection of Elmwood and Center Streets. The primary road is Center Street in the village and State Route 185 outside of the village. It has a 20-mile-per-hour speed limit during school hours and in town it's 35 miles per hour at other times.
"Two traffic guards have almost been hit while directing traffic in the intersection. Parents will not allow their children to take this "safe route" to school because it is too dangerous," she said. "I am afraid that something tragic will happen before ODOT agrees to issue a permit to have the light installed. I really hope that is not the case. Our village needs all the support we can get to convince the state this stop light is needed to keep our kids safe!"
Versailles Village Administrator Rodd Hale explained that a traffic light would be at the intersection all the time, not just during school hours. The village could pay $150,000 to $170,000 for a typical traffic signal with red, yellow and green lights. He also said the village and school evaluated the situation when the school was built four years ago. A resident who lives nearby told him that drivers may also try to avoid the light by traveling in the residential areas around the school.
The school zone intersections have crosswalks and sidewalks. There are two flashing lights warning drivers for the school zone's 20-miles-an-hour speed limit during morning drop offs and afternoon pick ups of students. One flashing light is at Marker Road and State Route 121 N., and another is at S. Center Street (State Route 185) and Stevenson Drive.
Hale said the village is working with Choice One Engineering of Sydney to perform a traffic study. The traffic counts are expected to start this week at Center and Elmwood Streets. The analysis could take two to three weeks, making it a month-long process, according to Choice One.
"This is not a decision the village gets to make, because it's a state route and the decision is held with ODOT [the Ohio Department of Transportation]," Hale said. "The village's role is to do a traffic study, appeal or request.
"We are not in any way against the signal, we are letting the state figure out what's warranted. Safety first," he said.
Versailles Police Chief Mark Humphreys said the police department works traffic every day.
"It could be backed up because when school lets out there's already a traffic jam," Humphreys said.
The chief added that police have always wanted a full traffic light at Elmwood and Center Streets, but was told by the state that it wasn't warranted. Some students who drive to and from the school also drive in the residential area, and he receives complaints about that.
Mandi Dillon, public information officer for ODOT District 7, explained that the intersection was reviewed. During the review, it was found that the speed limit is 35 miles per hour on Center Street, the crosswalk is within an existing 20-miles-per-hour school zone equipped with flashers, it has proper school signage, marked crosswalks and street lights on Center Street, she said.
"This section of Center Street was improved by the Safe Routes to School program in 2011, and the school/pedestrian crossing was improved to meet current design standards. These types of treatments are very common at similar crossings in villages throughout the state," Dillon said.
"As mentioned above, this intersection is within the Village of Versailles, therefore improvements such as the installation of a traffic signal would be studied, installed, and maintained by the Village," Dillon said. "ODOT's involvement would be limited to reviewing the study for the traffic signal and issuing a permit to the Village if traffic signal warrants are met."
Dillon said that traffic signals are installed based upon a traffic engineering study that includes traffic signal warrants as published in the Ohio Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (OMUTCD). An engineering study must be performed by the Village of Versailles to determine if this location warrants a traffic signal. This study will examine traffic conditions as well as pedestrian and physical characteristics of the intersection.
Versailles Schools Superintendent Aaron Moran said the school participates in the ODOT's Safe Routes to School program requiring crossing guards to help kids cross the street before and after school at the intersections.
"Our jurisdiction doesn't reach out that far, but we want the kids to be safe and that's why we put crossing guards out there," Moran said. "We want our kids safe and we'll trust the village and ODOT to keep our kids safe."
