Comments On Apr 01, 2012:This book has some great sections on due it your self items. Lots of detailed info on how suspension works. Great picks on seal replacements, not much detail on valving or how to adjust your shim stacks to improve the ride. If you want to understand the technology behind suspension this is great, if you want simple directions on how to improve your ride, use you tube and save yourself the 34 bucks.

Comments On Jan 10, 2012:Only 25% of the book explains things the rest is a how to guide. Much better how to videos from other people can be found on Youtube for free.
The first 25% didn't go into detail about valving like I wanted it to it was OK but not worth $40 I could have read forums and got the same information for free.

Kate Winslet's November Vogue cover. I'm not the first to say it – this thing is airbrushed. Her eyes glitter. Her skin's porcelain-doll smooth. It's miles away from the Kate we know, the one America fell in love with years ago. Voluptuous and identifiable and real. And that's exactly why I think the public has reacted so strongly against it.
But I ask – what if we look at Kate's airbrushing in an entirely different light? What if we view her cover not as reality (à la the old Kate), but as art? Would it upset us less?
When photography was invented in the 1830s, art was revolutionized. There was no need for realism, for portraying every last tiny detail of a subject. The camera could do that. Instead, we painted impressions. Brushy strokes. Cubist figures. We interpreted.
In a sense, Kate's Vogue cover is doing the same thing. It's an intentional interpretation of a woman. We are not meant to believe this is Kate as she wakes up in the morning. Or even red-carpet Kate. It is a fantasy. A bit of escapism. And, upset as I may be that the old Kate is gone, isn't that what art is all about?

This technique applies Shape Transformation to the black flames of Amaterasu, allowing the user to manipulate them at will. While Amaterasu is cast from the user's left eye, he uses his right eye to manipulate the flames.[1] After entering its final form, Susanoo gained an orb of black flames, which serves as an alternate source of flames to manipulate with this technique.[2][3] This technique also allows the user to extinguish these flames.[4]
The user can shape the flames of Amaterasu in different varieties, for both offence and defence.
- While using the ribcage state of his Susanoo, it can create a defensive encampment by manipulating the flames to cover it.[5]
- Converging the flames in front of the user, a barrier of spike-shaped flames can be created not only shields him, but also burns and pierces any opponent that touches it.[6]
- Among the weapons that can be manifested from the orb of black flames wielded by Susanoo are swords, magatama-shaped projectiles, and arrows that can be fired from its bow.[7]
- The flames can be wielded like a flexible sword in his own hand without being incinerated, as well as fire spike-shaped projectiles from the blade for a long-ranged attack.[8]
Similar to other Mangekyō Sharingan abilities, Kagutsuchi's name is derived from Japanese myth and religion. Kagutsuchi is the God of Fire in Shinto and the one who brought death into the world by burning his mother Izanami to death as she gave birth to him. This made his father, Izanagi, kill him with the Totsuka sword.
- Although the sword version utilised by Susanoo was initially identified as "Blaze Release: Kagutsuchi" in the manga, it was later named as part of a derivative technique called "Blaze Release: Susanoo Kagutsuchi". And in Naruto Shippūden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3, it is named "Sword of Kagutsuchi" (加具土命の剣, Kagutsuchi no Tsurugi, Literally meaning: Added Tool Earth-Lord Sword).
- In chapter 585, the furigana of this technique's name were written in hiragana, not in katakana, as they're usually written.

Nutzie's Pulled Pork with Homemade Barbecue Sauce
So who is Nutzie? He is a grandpa in Worcester, Massachusetts who owns a mom-and-pop restaurant.
How did I find his recipe? Why, in the Wall Street Journal, of all places!
The Wall Street Journal has recipes? Yep. Hey, I didn't know either.
I thought it was strictly a business newspaper. Nope. It's chock full of a myriad of articles.
However, the recipes show up in the weekend edition only, which my dear hubby pointed out to me when he recently began subscribing to the newspaper. So I now abscond it every Saturday morning and peruse it for recipes.
Recently, the pulled pork recipe, along with a homemade barbecue sauce, piqued my interest. I love pulled pork sandwiches, especially from The Beach Pit BBQ in Costa Mesa, California. I loved the idea of making my own, and this recipe sounded easy enough. No dealing with the outdoor barbecue or smoking it or special wood chips. Just cook it in the oven with salt, pepper, broth and liquid smoke. Slather it in barbecue sauce, slap it between some buns, and you are good to go!
By the way, ever heard of liquid smoke? It's some seriously amazing stuff. How in the world do they get that hickory-smoked flavor in a bottle?!
The barbecue sauce was super easy to make, and I adore the idea of no preservatives…except the recipe calls for store-bought ketchup, so it does have some preservatives. I do have a recipe in my files for homemade ketchup but haven't tried it yet. Soon.
Tasting the sauce as it simmered, it imparted too much of a tangy taste, I decided. Hubby agreed. So I added 6 tbsp. more of brown sugar, and the tang was still strong. However, the tang was less dominant, so I let it be. I wanted to add liquid smoke so it would taste more like the store-bought barbecue sauce we are used to, but since the pulled pork recipe uses liquid smoke, I refrained. I figured I could add it later if needed. If I were using this for something else, I would seriously consider adding a few drops of the liquid smoke. And next time I'll reduce the amount of vinegar.
The recipe also calls for vinegar added to the pork after it's shredded, but I barely sprinkled any on because the barbecue sauce was already heavy on the vinegar.
This makes a HUGE batch. As a matter of fact, the article reads "MEGA MEAL" above the title. I might reduce it next time. Or maybe I can freeze it? I'll try that and see how it works out. It should be fine since I often freeze leftover chicken and beef and make tacos with it. So far, we've had about 3 meals each out of this and still have tons left. Definite party food–great for a summer gathering.
This was one of a dozen or so goodies I cooked up this Memorial Day weekend. Hubby and I chilled out at home, but I made us all kinds of holiday fare to usher in summer. Woo hoo…only two more weeks of teaching and grading essays, then I'm done for some summer fun. Countin' down…
In the days to come, I'll be sharing all of the goodies I cooked up to go a long with the pulled pork extravaganza.
By the way, if you would rather use a crock pot to make pulled pork in the sultry days of summer, here's a link to a recipe I have saved but haven't tried yet: pulled pork.
Nutzie's Pulled Pork
- 1 (5-6 pound) bone-in pork butt (that means the upper shoulder cut…by the way, I used pork without bone)
- 1 – 1 1/ 2 tsp. kosher or coarse salt
- 1/2 – 1 tsp. black pepper
- 3 cups low-sodium chicken or beef broth
- 1 tbsp. liquid smoke (you can find this at a grocery store)
- 4 cups barbecue sauce
- 1/2 cup cider vinegar, or more to taste (I actually used a lot less–just a sprinkling)
- sliced soft rolls, soft or toasted, for serving
- coleslaw and pickles, for serving (optional)
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Place pork butt in a large pot with a lid. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Pour broth around pork until it covers about one quarter of the meat.
- Add liquid smoke. Cover pot and put in oven. Bake until internal temperature registers 190-200 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer and meat is falling apart, 3 1/2 – 4 1/2 hours. Use a fork to pull at pork and make sure it comes apart easily.
- Remove pork butt from oven and let it sit in pot 15-20 minutes.
- Remove from pot; discard bone and cooking liquid. Cut fatty parts off meat, then use two forks or your fingers to shred meat into small pieces. Place shredded pork in a large bowl.
- Warm barbecue sauce in a small pot over medium heat. Mix shredded meat with barbecue sauce and vinegar until evenly coated. Taste. If pork could use a bit more zing, add more vinegar. Season with additional salt and pepper.
- Pile pulled pork onto rolls or serve it plain with coleslaw and pickles.
SOURCE: Wall Street Journal, May 12-13, 2012
Tangy Homemade Barbecue Sauce
- 2 tbsp. vegetable oil or canola oil
- 1 1/2 cups chopped onion
- 2 tbsp. minced garlic
- 4 cups ketchup, preferably Heinz (use 1 cup of Heinz chili sauce if you want a zestier sauce)
- 1/2 cup cider vinegar (use less if you don't want the flavor to dominate)
- 1/4 cup firmly packed light or dark brown sugar (I used an additional 6 tbsp.)
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup tomato paste
- 3 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tbsp. Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp. chili powder
- Kosher salt or coarse salt and black pepper, to taste
- Heat oil in large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened, about 3 minutes.
- Add remaining ingredients, season with salt and pepper, stir well, and let simmer over medium-low heat until flavors meld, about 15 minutes.
- Sauce is ready if you prefer it a bit chunky from the chopped onions. If you prefer it smoother, allow it to cool, then puree it in a food processor.

Subjects with cancer and ONJ
Subjects with cancer and positively adjudicated ONJ
Detailed Description:
The purpose of the ONJ case registry is to describe the natural history of positively-adjudicated ONJ in subjects with cancer with an observation period of 5 years. Most of these subjects are expected to have received bone antiresorptive agents such as bisphosphonates or denosumab together with cancer-specific therapies (eg, chemotherapy, steroids, or anti-angiogenics). It is also possible that the registry will include subjects with cancer who developed ONJ without exposure to any antiresorptive therapy.

- Senior bowl: Some college QBs face a different kind of option
- Jan 25:
- CU Buffs TE Nick Kasa is on NFL radar for 2013 draft

- NFL and college football intersect at Senior Bowl
- Jan 23:
- Odds are some future Broncos are working at the Senior Bowl this week
MOBILE, Ala. — A lot of draft dreamers come here each January hoping to prove something, show something, to the NFL's legion of scouts, coaches and personnel executives on hand.
They come with stories, explanations and even more than a few chips on their shoulders. It is their opportunity to get those inquiring pro football minds to hit the reset button, to change what they might think with the scouting combine and a pro day or two still on the docket.
Which brings us all to the curious case of one Oklahoma quarterback Landry Jones. When Jones finished his sophomore season (2010) in Norman, Okla., with 4,718 yards passing and 38 touchdowns, there was talk before his junior season (2011) that he was on track to be the No. 1 pick in the 2012 draft if elected to come out.
Now, the 2012 draft has all the earmarks of a historical one when it comes to quarterbacks with Andrew Luck, Robert Griffin III and Russell Wilson having all led teams to the playoffs in their rookie seasons. And Brandon Weeden, Ryan Tannehill and Nick Foles also started enough games to qualify in the quarterback rankings for the year.
But Jones wasn't in the 2012 draft as a junior. At the time, scouts around the league privately said they didn't like his 2011 season — still plenty gaudy with 4,463 yards passing and 29 touchdowns — as much as his sophomore year.
Jones elected to return to school to play out his senior year in 2012, finishing with 4,267 yards and 30 touchdowns. He finished his career as the Big 12's all-time leader in passing yards (16,646) and total offense (16,271 yards).
Yet, he has done his work at the Senior Bowl this week with plenty of question marks next to his name, questions he believes he can answer before the picks get made in April.
"Absolutely, I'm a far better player now than I was as a sophomore, or a junior," Jones said. "I think I certainly improved my stock by staying (at school) and playing the way I played."
Last year, Jones wasn't going to crack the top spot among quarterbacks in the draft. This year's class isn't considered nearly as strong, but it's also the land of passing opportunity because it's also without a consensus at the group's top spot.
There is a vacancy that can still be filled. Teams love Jones' physical makeup, his arm strength and size (6-foot-3 5/8, 221 pounds).
He's also shown the ability to run a no-huddle offense this week as the Lions coaching staff has put him through the paces.
"And I think I've shown I'm able to move around in the pocket," Jones said. "It's just something I've always tried to work on in the offseason, but this year, that was the one thing I really wanted to do, so I just made that my focus. I think I can extend plays when I need to now, better than I did earlier in my career."
The difficulty for Jones will be the biggest question some scouts have can't really be answered in a workout, because it's his decision-making under duress. That some teams simply believe some of his poorest decisions from the pocket have come in the biggest moments of some of his bigger games.
That's likely not all fair for a 16,000-yard passer at a major program, but the NFL draft ain't always fair. And while he was accurate overall in his collegiate career — 66, 63 and 66 percent completion rate in his last three seasons — he does seem to lose accuracy when he plays stiff-legged in the pocket and doesn't maintain good footwork as he goes through his reads on a play.
When his accuracy left him at times this week, it was usually because he didn't maintain his knee bend and footwork.
Still, in a draft that's still without a top quarterback, Jones is hoping he can fit the bill.
"I came here wanting to show my game can translate to the NFL," Jones said. "I think I have."

NEW YORK, Dec. 1, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- "Art imitates life." That is certainly true these days when it comes to interior design. The new "industrial revolution," the current influx of industrial styled home décor products, reflects the growing need for consumers to cut back in the troubled economy. Just as homeowners are trimming expenses, this industrial trend infuses simple warm touches with rough minimalism. Charles P. Rogers, legendary makers of quality beds and mattresses for almost 160 years, offers the perfect destination for designers looking to incorporate this industrial feel into their clients' bedroom plans.
"The industrial style in home décor has been popular for sometime. But it is no longer simply an elimination of needless embellishments. It combines clean lines with raw materials that creates an overall sleek and sophisticated look," explains President, Linda Klein. "Our classic brass and timeless iron beds, along with our minimalist wood platform beds, echo what designers and their clients crave; great quality with a refined industrial look. They have been flying out of the store."
The industrial trend can be divided into two looks: clean and graphic and natural vintage. Clean and graphic is minimalistic featuring bold accents such as a large metal initial affixed to an accent wall, chalkboard paint in the dining room or bright orange throw pillows on a neutral-toned, low-slung sofa. Within this aesthetic, Charles P. Rogers offers several contemporary options such as the Maxion platform bed. It is handcrafted from hardwood planks with a hand-rubbed espresso finish and features hand forged ironwork and decorative hardware with a wrought iron finish. The Delise platform bed combines a solid mahogany base with stainless steel legs for a chic look.
The natural vintage style can be highlighted by mixing in original vintage elements such as an old wooden farmhouse table or an antique windowpane on the wall with faux vintage pieces. Charles P. Rogers provides a myriad of vintage choices. The original "gaslight" design of the Boston bed includes decorative accents cast by hand directly onto the iron framework while the simple wrought iron Crain bed features brass finials. Finally, the classic Cottage bed made from hand-forged iron available in Wrought Iron or Antique White provides timeless simplicity for a relaxing environment.
Whether it's a loft that features exposed brick, ductwork, or pipes, or a bedroom that includes filament bulb light fixtures and an unfinished wooden armoire, Charles P. Rogers offers an inviting design option to complement the industrial design trend. With the ability to ship direct all over the world, Charles P. Rogers creates a relaxing sales process for both homeowners and accredited designers. To purchase or for additional information, please visit www.charlesprogers.com.

- Colorado Rep. Bradford's rock-star welcome fizzled
What started out as a dull session has turned dramatic with a Republican lawmaker stopped by Denver police on suspicion of drunken driving threatening to leave her party, a move that could imperil the GOP's slim majority in the House.
Rep. Laura Bradford said Wednesday she is considering becoming an unaffiliated voter, in part because an ethics investigation against her is proceeding although Denver police admitted she didn't use her position to get out of a DUI arrest.
"I'm frustrated by the lack of the support, not just over the last five days but during last session too," Bradford said. "I don't always vote my caucus. I vote my district. There's been a lot of arm-twisting and scolding."
Speaker Frank McNulty, R-Highlands Ranch, responded by saying, "I have no idea what she's talking about."
With Bradford, Republicans hold a 33-32 lead over Democrats, who control the Senate and the governor's office.
If the House makeup changed to 32-32-1, McNulty would remain as speaker, although a member could nominate someone else for the post and the House would take a vote. The winner would need 33 votes.
The speaker is the only position in House leadership that requires approval from the majority of the entire chamber, no matter the affiliation.
Minority Leader Mark Ferrandino of Denver said Democrats are focusing on their bills, not on whether he might be nominated for the speaker's job.
"We can't speculate on 'what-ifs,' " he said.
Ferrandino said Bradford had spoken to him about her situation but had asked for nothing. He said he offered nothing nor would he.
"I mostly listened to where she was at," Ferrandino said. "She needs to think through her thoughts and what she decides to do."
Sen. Steve King, R-Grand Junction, said he tried to talk to Bradford, a fellow Mesa County lawmaker, about the damage she would cause by leaving the party.
"When I think of the hours and the money and the work in getting that one-vote majority, I am just heartsick," King said.
Two lawmakers have changed parties in recent years. Rep. Kathleen Curry of Gunnison went from Democrat to unaffiliated, and Rep. Debbie Stafford of Aurora changed from Republican to Democrat. Neither move affected the majority.
The drama began Friday when House leaders learned that two days earlier, Denver police had stopped Bradford after saying she made an improper lane change. They initially said they believed Bradford was driving drunk but couldn't test her because she invoked legislative immunity, a little-known constitutional clause that prohibits the arrest of lawmakers on misdemeanor charges during the session.
Bradford apologized on the House floor Monday but maintained she never invoked legislative privilege.
In a stunning reversal, Denver police held a news conference Tuesday to say a sergeant now under investigation lied about the traffic stop and that Bradford had repeatedly said she wanted to be treated like other citizens. Police sent her home in a cab.
On Jan. 25, Bradford had been at an East Colfax bar where lawmakers, lobbyists and Capitol staffers often gather for happy hour. She said that she had dinner with former lawmakers she declined to name and that she had three glasses of wine.
She said that's why she told police several times to test her because she believes she would have passed.
Despite the police announcement, McNulty said he decided to proceed with the House ethics investigation because an investigation is warranted.
"This is not a question of loyalty. It's not a question of having somebody's back," he said. "It's a question of making sure we do what we need to do to make sure the rules of the House were not violated and a member is upholding the highest ethical standard."
Bradford is running for re-election, although she said whether to press on is another decision she will mull during "windshield time," referring to her four-hour drive home Friday. She said she and her husband have discussed a number of times how many straws it takes to reach "the final straw."
Bradford said that last year, Rep. Amy Stephens, R-Colorado Springs, was furious with her for voting against an amendment to one of her bills and that Stephens shook her finger at her in front of two dozen people.
"She said, 'You will live to regret this, Bradford. You haven't heard the last of it,' " Bradford said. "The rest of the session was brutal."
Stephens, who now is the House majority leader, said that's untrue. She said what happened was that Bradford told her and Ferrandino she could vote for the amendment to their bill if certain changes were made, which happened, and then Bradford voted against it.
"Mark looked at me and went, 'What?' " Stephens said. "I said to her, 'How dare you break your word. How could you? I expect more out of you.' I never said she would regret it.
"Whatever her grievances are, it's not part of the reality of the situation right now."

The Saturday Skinny: Weight loss isn't easy, but small changes can make a big differenceBy: Don Chaddock, Managing Editor
This online column started as a way for me to share my story and hope it would inspire others. It has not only done that, but it's taught me a valuable lesson: Practice what I preach.
This column helps hold me accountable for my decisions. Am I always perfect? Not by a long shot. Something I hear frequently is, "You never falter." I often stumble on my path but I appreciate those moments because they remind me why I should make healthy choices. My stumbles have become less frequent as my new healthier habits have become second nature.
Halloween treats
Halloween has always been a rough time for me as I do have a sweet tooth. With kids and trick-or-treating, as well as the candy in my home, temptations are everywhere. How do I handle it now? Well, I may choose a small piece of candy just to satisfy the craving without over indulging. Maybe my 4-year-old, dressed in his pilot costume, offers me a Tootsie Roll. One small piece won't do much damage but a handful (or more) will temporarily sabotage my healthy eating plan. I must remain vigilant against such slips.
Moderation is the key. I still enjoy a treat now and then. A giant malted milkshake? Nope. A small scoop of frozen yogurt? Yes. Eating four slices of pepperoni pizza? No. Eating one slice of thin-crust pizza? Yes.
Schedule time for yourself
I find it's easy to lose myself in work, obligations and taking care of small children. So, where do I fit in the picture? I make sure I carve out at least 30 minutes for myself everyday. That usually means I hop out of bed at 4:30 a.m. so I can have some quiet time. On days when I happen to be alone, I will go for a hike, walk or do some light weights. Maybe I'll cook up some veggies, make garlic mashed cauliflower or roast sweet potatoes.
Mentally preparing myself for the day helps me make healthier choices.
Pace yourself
Weight loss isn't a sprint, but a marathon without a finish line. There may be a goal weight, but once it is reached, then it's time to maintain that weight by not falling into old eating habits. My menu stays the same, despite having lost 116 pounds. Now is not to time to return to pizza, burgers, French fries and sweets.
Dropping your caloric intake to levels which leave you hungry most of the day is not my philosophy. By eating five to six times daily, I keep fire in that stove, so to speak, and continually burn calories. I also stay active, moving around the office or taking quick strolls up the street to stretch my legs.
What do I eat? I stick with fresh fruit and raw vegetables, avoid breads and starchy foods, and limit my lean meat to 4-6 ounces each day. I eat plenty of brown rice, black beans, quinoa and lots of mushrooms. My mom asked me why I eat mushrooms because she simply didn't see the point. Simple: Low calories, very filling. I buy raw sliced mushrooms and use them to top salads, add to omelets or take in my lunch to steam (with a little drizzle of soy sauce).
Exercise is important
I try to include this note in most of the Saturday Skinny columns because it's true. Exercise is critical to weight loss. In order to burn calories, get your body moving. As I've heard on many weight loss shows (such as "The Biggest Loser"), if you aren't moving, you aren't losing.
When I feel like I can't do 20 more curls or 10 more over-head lifts with a hand weight, I ask myself, "Is this all I have or can I push myself just a little harder?" Usually, I achieve those extra lifts and curls. My self-doubt can easily overpower my drive if I allow it to happen. Pushing a little bit harder each week is a personal goal.
Drink water
I try to let people know what worked for me and not preach about what they should or shouldn't do. When it comes to beverages, I am a firm believer in water. Avoid soda, alcohol and calorie-laden drinks. I never order specialty drinks in a coffee shop anymore because they contain lots of hidden calories. I go for a plain old cup of coffee with a splash of non-fat milk (no sweeteners).
Little changes add up to a lifestyle
When I factor in the changes I've made to what I eat, what I drink and how much I move, it all adds up to a lifestyle change. It didn't happen overnight, but it did happen. Piece by piece, I've rebuilt my health and a body I haven't seen since my 20s. I'm in better shape at almost 43 than I was at 23.
Recap: When my youngest daughter was born, I had just turned 41 years old and I tipped the scale at a whopping 303 pounds. At 6-feet tall, it was far too much weight for my frame. I was uncomfortable, depressed and couldn't believe I had let myself go to such an extreme. When I was younger, I jogged regularly but a car accident sidelined me from my favorite activity. Since I could no longer run, I did nothing, but continued to eat as though I was as active as I had previously been. The weight came on and over the next 20 years, I struggled. For me, diets didn't work. Why? Because diets end, but life continues. What I did on Dec. 30, 2010, was make a conscious decision to lose this weight.
I had to make one simple change: my lifestyle. It sounds easy, but it was very difficult. After 10 months, I had lost 20 pounds. I wasn't happy with my progress and then it hit me – I had to work for this healthy lifestyle, it wasn't just going to happen on its own. Through hard work and determination, I lost another 96 pounds over the next year, bringing my total weight loss to 116 pounds.

Benco Dental Committed to Building a Brighter, Greener Future
For the past six years, Benco Dental, the largest privately-owned dental distribution company in the United States, has augmented its commitment to "Lean and Green" operations by neutralizing carbon emissions associated with its National Sales Meeting. Through this program, Benco Dental has mitigated the negative impact of almost 6 billion pounds of greenhouse gas emissions, equivalent to neutralizing emissions from driving a standard passenger car 6.4 billion miles, by supporting Carbonfund.org's clean air and carbon emissions reduction projects.
A focus on the environment can be felt throughout Benco, starting with their CenterPoint headquarters in Pittston, PA, designed to meet and exceed USGBC guidelines and attain LEED certification. The company's "Go Green" program identifies its products that meet 10 criteria universally recognized as reducing a product's environmental impact and designates the eco-friendly products with a green leaf.
The Benco Dental "Lean and Green" team is made up of associates who volunteer their time to organize and conduct community tree plantings and cleanups throughout the year, and help to identify ways Benco can be environmentally friendly. Associates also participate in an extensive recycling program that includes paper, cardboard, glass, plastic, aluminum, batteries, CDs, DVDs and toner cartridges.
Building a brighter greener future is part of Benco Dental Company's mission, and Carbonfund.org is proud to partner with Benco in achieving its goals.
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.
NBS Helps Communities Fund Tomorrow with an Eye to Sustainability
From the flow of water to the flow of revenue, NBS helps facilitate the intricate balancing act that keeps communities running fiscally strong. NBS consultants and engineers have provided focused financial consulting, assessment engineering, special assessment software, ongoing special assessment, tax and fee administration, and related support to over 300 public agencies. The ultimate goal of NBS is to ensure quality results for the local public agencies it serves so that they are seen as serving their constituents in an exemplary manner.
NBS is also committed to being part of the solution to avoid overuse of resources in our economy today, striving to be good business partners with its local government clients.
Tim Seufert, Managing Director of NBS, put it very plainly: "Being "green" is good for our planet, our people and our bottom line. What can we do about global warming and our significant impact on the environment? We can simply lessen our business impact on the environment."
In 2007, NBS began measuring and neutralizing the carbon emissions associated with its office energy consumption and business-related travel. NBS's support of Carbonfund.org helps fight the effects of climate change through innovative projects such as the Tensas River reforestation project in Louisiana that absorbs carbon dioxide in the atmosphere as well as the Truck Stop Electrification project that has enabled truckers to reduce tailpipe emissions, saving a gallon of diesel per hour.
Over the past seven years, NBS has mitigated the effects of 875,000 pounds of carbon emissions through its support of Carbonfund.org's carbon reduction projects. This equates to removing the carbon dioxide produced by burning almost 45,000 gallons of gasoline.
In addition to neutralizing carbon emissions from unavoidable business travel and office energy usage, NBS continues to reduce its operational impact on the environment by:
• Minimizing usage of disposable materials by minimizing hard copy printouts in presentations and using dishware in the office instead of paper and plastic;
• Recycling paper and most food and beverage containers;
• Purchasing "good" paper and printing services, such as recycled paper and paper that meets the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) standards; and
• Prescribing to Carbonfund.org's motto of "reduce what you can, offset what you can't™" by minimizing travel via technology and online conferencing tools in lieu of physical travel.
NBS is a great example of a consultancy focused on improving the efficient, sustainable operation of communities by maintaining those principles within its own organization. Carbonfund.org congratulates NBS on its seventh year of carbon neutral operations.

Carbonfree® Eco Alkalines Batteries™ Supports RMC's Zero-Waste Recycling in Ontario
There's a battle over battery recycling and materials recovery processes brewing in Ontario, Canada. A proposed new battery recycling program could threaten the local industry and jobs, and impact the US environment as well.
Expanding its commitment to environmental sustainability, LEI Products' Certified Carbonfree® Eco Alkalines Batteries™ recently partnered with Raw Materials Company (RMC) to support 100% recycling of its batteries. In addition to assessing the batteries' full life cycle carbon emissions and neutralizing those emissions through Carbonfund.org, Eco Alkalines wanted to ensure that their battery was truly sustainable through the end-of-use and disposal portion of its life cycle.
RMC uses an innovative mechanical process that crushes the batteries to separate all of the component materials. 100% of each battery is reused and up to 92% is up-cycled. The paper and plastic from alkaline batteries, which makes up approximately 8% to 15% of the battery depending on type, is used to produce energy. RMC's process to recycle alkaline batteries creates negligible greenhouse gas emissions and produces zero secondary waste -- none of the component materials are sent to the landfill. Additionally, all of the recovered materials are consumed locally within 300 miles of RMC.
By partnering with RMC, Eco Alkalines is confident that the end-of-life processing of the batteries achieves the greatest possible recycling and environmental outcomes.
But the recent revelation that Waste Diversion Ontario is actively considering a proposal by a company called Call2Recycle, which could potentially wipe out Raw Materials Company, is causing concerns ranging from potential job losses to compromised environmental standards.
Eco Alkalines Batteries™ does not support the proposal put forth by Call2Recycle to process old batteries, as they view this alternative for battery recycling as a return to more wasteful and environmentally harmful methods.
It's also worth noting that Call2Recycle's proposal likely would result in exporting the battery recycling, and its attendant waste and carbon dioxide emissions, to the US.
So why would Waste Diversion Ontario, be considering another option for battery recycling, especially since the Canadian government currently is considering a proposed Waste Reduction Act, Bill 91, with progressive new recycling standards?
Call2Recycle, who represents major battery players Duracell and Energizer, has historically used Pennsylvania-based smelter company INMETCO to process old batteries. Not only would a move to Care2Recycle's proposal likely put RMC out of business, eliminating the employment of close to 50 Ontario residents in a period marked by economic instability, but also it likely would prove to be a much less environmentally sound option. The smelting process is cheap; however, the environmental performance is extremely poor because a steel smelter was not designed to recycle alkaline batteries. The burning process creates unnecessary greenhouse gas emissions as well as a secondary waste called slag, which contains high concentrations of heavy metals. This slag is often used as filler for asphalt roads and considered by most to be a waste as it cannot be re-used.
Call2Recycle may be able to quote a lower bid, but the costs to the local Ontario economy and the impact on the environment may well outweigh the perceived benefit of a reduction in Canada's government spending. Carbonfund.org joins Eco Alkalines Batteries ™ in supporting innovative product recycling, reclamation and reuse developed by companies like Raw Materials Company.
Arcolution Leads Architecture in Evolution through CarbonFree® Partnership
Leadership requires action, and that action often starts with the leader's own decisions and choices. New CarbonFree® Business Partner Arcolution took a leadership step in hastening the evolution of architectural firms towards more sustainable and environmentally-sensitive practices.
Arcolution is a full-service architecture firm, representing architecture in evolution. The firm aspires to conceive, design and build a future based on the premise of supporting life and natural systems.
"The building industry has a hugely significant environmental footprint in terms of greenhouse gas emissions, energy consumption, disruption of natural systems and profligate waste stream. As an architecture firm, we are keenly aware of our responsibility to rethink how we will inhabit this earth," says Eve Reynolds, Principal Architect at Arcolution. "One by one, we can move a stone, but when we work together we can move mountains. That is why we choose to partner with Carbonfund.org - to make our impact that much more effective."
By neutralizing 36 metric tonnes of annual operational emissions and supporting Carbonfund.org's carbon reduction and clean air technology projects, Arcolution will achieve CarbonFree® operations.
Arcolution is committed to leading toward the change they envision in the built environment in three ways: first, by setting an example in the choices they make in their work environment; second, by encouraging environmental awareness, conservation and reduction of personal carbon footprints; and third, by becoming educators to their clients and promoting the most energy efficient solutions for each project.
Arcolution has committed as a firm to offset its annual carbon footprint through Carbonfund.org and encourages all of its clients to offset the carbon footprint of their projects managed by Arcolution.
Luggage Forward® Improves Travel Experience and Sustainability through CarbonFree® Shipping
Summer vacation travel is winding down, and many will suffer the sore backs and shoulders that come with carting luggage and sports equipment through airports, hotels, and in and out of cars. This pain and hassle can be avoided, thanks to two guys who met in high school and spent their share of time schlepping bags while traveling. They formed Luggage Forward, providing guaranteed door-to-door luggage and sports equipment delivery to more than 200 countries worldwide, allowing clients the convenience of traveling without their luggage.
Five years ago, Luggage Forward took another progressive step to improve the sustainability of their service. Through Carbonfund.org's CarbonFree® Shipping program, Luggage Forward allows clients to offset the carbon dioxide emissions generated from the airplanes, trucks and trains that are used in the shipment of each bag.
"We're pleased to offer clients who send their luggage with Luggage Forward the opportunity to help in the fight against climate change by purchasing carbon offsets," says Zeke Adkins, co-founder of Luggage Forward. "Considering the environmental impact of carbon emissions, we believe that taking these steps is a matter of basic corporate responsibility."
Luggage Forward was born out of the simple idea that we should all be able to enjoy the journey as much as the destination, by eliminating long waits, the aggravation of lost luggage and the burden of carrying heavy bags. Forwarding luggage allows you to save time at the airport by avoiding the long check-in lines and skipping the wait at the baggage carousel. When you send your luggage with Luggage Forward, it is guaranteed to arrive on time or they'll refund your money and give you up to $500 per bag to make it right. And with the CarbonFree® Shipping program, you can make it right by the environment by neutralizing the carbon emissions created by shipping your bag.
Eagle-Eye Tours Focuses on Birding and Wildlife Adventures While Neutralizing Carbon Emissions
As is the case with many of our eco-tourism business partners, Eagle-Eye Tours of Windermere, Canada recognizes the environmental impact of their educational tour programs and is doing something about it. Eagle-Eye Tours covers the globe with diverse tours, ranging from ones with a birding focus to tours combining photography and wildlife, birds and gardens and more, visiting some of the wildest corners of our planet. Tour travel and onsite lodging creates carbon dioxide emissions, which Eagle-Eye Tours works to minimize but also realizes that all emissions cannot be avoided.
To address this negative by-product of their tours, Eagle-Eye Tours has maintained a CarbonFree® operation for the past five years by calculating annual tour-related emissions then supporting Carbonfund.org's clean air technology and carbon reduction projects to neutralize those emissions. To date, Eagle-Eye Tours has mitigated almost 2 million pounds of carbon dioxide emissions through their CarbonFree® program, equivalent to the amount of carbon dioxide sequestered by almost 23,000 tree seedlings planted and grown for ten years.
"We travel the world enjoying birds and other wildlife, but realize that many of these species are threatened by climate change," explains Cam Gillies, Director of Eagle-Eye Tours. "We are excited to continue to offset the carbon emissions from our operations and to take concrete action in the conservation of the biodiversity we so enjoy."
Eagle-Eye Tours offsets all of the carbon dioxide emissions produced from all guide and on-tour participant flights, vehicle use during tours and operations, ship use, and the electricity used by their office. They also design tours that visit reserves and lodges that have been established to demonstrate and deliver benefits from conservation to the local community. Eagle- Eye Tours offers tour participants the option to help with environmental sustainability by offsetting flights from their departure to the start of the tour. This ongoing commitment to sustainable tour management helps to set apart Eagle-Eye Tours as a leader in ecotourism and demonstrated environmental responsibility in all aspects of their operation.

Super GT
this wiki
The Super GT is a sports car in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, but it takes the form of a supercar manufactured by Dewbauchee in Grand Theft Auto IV.
GTA San AndreasIn GTA San Andreas, the Super GT is based on a 1993 Mitsubishi 3000GT while featuring taillights similar to those of a 1993-2002 Toyota Supra (the Jester also resembles the Toyota Supra). It could also be based on the Venturi 400 GT. The Super GT can be modified at TransFender garages. There are also two versions of this car; a hardtop and a targa top, however unlike the similar ZR-350, the Super GT does not have a no-spoiler variant. Although it looks like a top end supercar, it is not. It travels from 0-100 KPH in about 6 seconds, which clearly is not in the supercar league, rather it competes with the middle class sportscars like the ZR350, Elegy, Sultan, and Comet.
It is also one the most expensive cars to import in GTA San Andreas together with the Bullet and the Cheetah, cashing in at $84,000. However, the player is awarded $105,000 when he exports the car in mint condition.
In GTA IV, the Super GT (branded as a Dewbauchee car, although police radio chatter refers to it as a Pfister) is an amalgamation of two or three sports cars: the front and side profiles appear to share design cues from a modern Aston Martin DB9 and 2005-2009 Aston Martin V8 Vantage, (both found in the Rockstar game "Midnight Club: LA and Midnight Club: LA Complete Edition), while the rear appears to have resemblance of that of a Ferrari 612 or a Ferrari 575. Overall, the Super GT is a grand tourer.GTA IV's Super GT is powered by a supercharged V12 in an FR drivetrain layout. The supercharger's 'whine' can be distinguished when the throttle is open, unlike the blow-off configuration of turbocharged engines which deposit at gear changes. The Super GT is also available with differing hood designs, either featuring a relatively smooth hood, or one with a low U-shaped ridge. The Super GT lacks an exterior radio antenna. The interior features black leather and carpeting with bucket sports seats. The center console is finished in aluminum trim and features an analog timepiece. The Super GT also features a beautiful gated 6-speed shifter.
The F620 in The Ballad of Gay Tony shares some similarities to the Super GT.
GTA San Andreas
The Super GT has a top notch speed and acceleration. It's downside is that even when driving at low speeds, and despite its sharp turning, turning can cause wild fishtailing, especially at higher speeds. Furthermore, spinouts are inevitable with even the most minor of collisions. The tires are lack of grip. The Super GT does not have good durability either, and the vehicle will explode after only a few collisions. Therefore, the player should use caution while driving the car, turn slowly and gently, and avoid using it for any fast-speed maneuver. Unfortunately, this is the vehicle given to CJ for the final Driving School test, and also for the Freeway road race in Los Santos which renders these two missions exceedingly difficult to complete, even if CJ has 100% driving skill. It weights 1400 kg, similar to cars like the Sultan, ZR350, Turismo, Banshee, and Comet.
In GTA IV, the Super GT is the 6th-fastest in the game with a top speed of 205 mph (329 km/h), being slower than the Banshee and faster then the Cognoscenti.The acceleration and speed of the Super GT are superior to many other cars in the game. The distinct sound of a supercharger can be heard at higher RPMs, which separates it from the other supercars. Also, because of its high horsepower to torque ratio, the car can easily be slid into a drift by a single tap of the E-Brake (at moderate enough speeds); making the Super GT a great choice for drifting. In the hands of a capable driver it makes an ideal getaway car however, if not handled correctly the drifts in the corners and the sheer power of the engine while in the heat of the moment can lead to spin outs, loss of control and crashes. This is because of the position of the engine, it is located in front of the driver rather than just in front of the rear axle. As the result, it puts more weight at the front, resulting in massive oversteer. The rather aggressive power distribution is also the factor resulting the oversteer. However, some drivers find this feature to be exciting. Again, because of the front engine rear-wheel drive layout, stability is also pretty much inferior compared to the other supercars.
The car's rank in performance is pushed further back with the introduction of faster supercars in subsequent Episodes of Liberty City DLC. In TBoGT, the Super GT's competitor is the Ocelot F620.
Prominent appearances in missions
During a car chase in one of Bernie Crane's missions, the Russian criminals drive a Super GT, while the character most likely drives a Turismo, as it is the car parked in front of Bernie's house. At the climax of the mission, the Russians hit a curb and crash their car, forcing you to get out of your Turismo and take them out on foot. Once they are dealt with you can steal the Super GT for yourself and save it. For its paintjob, it has a deep metallic version of one of five colors: gray, blue, red, green, or pink, all of which are unique. It may or may not come with a hood ridge.
Another Super GT is also obtainable outside in the mission "Trespass", being located at the main entrance of the abandoned Sprunk factory where you must find and kill Chubby Charlie. However if you complete the mission, and do not collect the car, it will disappear.
As a part of text message car missions from Stevie, he will ask you to procure a unique dark gray Super GT parked in front of the "69 Exchange" in The Exchange, Algonquin. Before taking it to Stevie's garage, save it in one of your parking spots and wait for another to re-spawn. Then take the re-spawn to Stevie. However, if you wish to respray it, you cannot because the car is stuck with the gray paint job.
A Super GT appears in the Most Wanted mission for Darren Covey.
In SA, the Super GT is the vehicle assigned the player during the City Slicker portion of the Driving School test. Its poor handling makes the course even more challenging.
Modifications (GTA San Andreas)
It can only be modified at TransFender garages:
- Car Color 1 ($150)
- 2x Nitrous ($200)
- Import ($820)
- Atomic ($770)
- Ahab ($1000)
- Virtual ($620)
- Acess ($1140)
- Off Road Wheel ($1000)
- Mega ($1030)
- Grove ($1230)
- Twist ($1200)
- Wires ($1560)
Hydraulics ($1500)
- The Transfender in Las Venturas charges 20% more for every modification except colors.
Super GT is one of the few cars that can only be equipeed with 2X Nitrous, and it also has the least modification abilities.
- The Super GT plays the following radio stations by default when entered:
- CSR 103.9 in GTA San Andreas.
- Electro-Choc or Radio Broker in GTA IV.
- The Super GT shares a similar rear as a Toyota Supra. It is interesting that the Jester also closely resembles a Toyota Supra.
- In GTA: SA, the Super GT is one out of two supercars to have a permanent spawn point, the other being the Bullet .
- An earlier form of the Super GT in GTA IV features "Super GT" and "Asstone" badges in the rear. In its final form, however, only a Dewbauchee emblem is present in place.
- Oddly, The Super GT shares the same horn with Tow Truck.
- It is ironic when upon close inspection the Super GT shares the engine cosmetics with the Stratum, although the Stratum appears to have an air filter and a turbocharger fitted.
- The Super GT is one of the three most expensive cars in GTA IV, the others being the Turismo and the Infernus.
- The Russian Mafia in GTA IV occasionally uses Super GT in missions, such as is the case during "Union Drive" and "Trespass".
- The Bullet GT replaces the Super GT in The Ballad of Gay Tony's multiplayer Race/GTA Race modes.
- The BradyGames guide for Episodes From Liberty City mistakenly refers to the Super GT as a new vehicle in EFLC.
- The Super GT along with the Turismo, Infernus, Comet, Dukes, Contender and Vigero (beater version only) are the only cars in GTA IV with no license plates.
- In San Andreas, the body shape is similar to that of the Turismo .
- In San Andreas, The Super GT has the same engine sound as the Cheetah, Comet and Turismo, cars that are to the Super GT in peformance.
- Oddly, the side door speakers in the Super GT resemble the ones in the 2001-2005 Aston Martin V12 Vanquish.
Notable Owners
GTA San Andreas
- In the parking lot outside of the Driving School in Doherty, San Fierro after achieving bronze for all the challenges, constantly appearing with a maroon body.
- Behind the Control Tower at Easter Bay International Airport, San Fierro (usually locked).
- Spawns frequently on The Strip, Las Venturas, especially at night
- Driving around in the evening in Rodeo, Los Santos
- Importable from Easter Basin docks in San Fierro after completing export lists. Import cost: $84,000 (Tuesday only)
The Super GT in GTA IV is notably rare, being mostly available in specific missions (see #Prominent appearances in missions or Multiplayer modes), or by using a cheat code:
- Can very easily and lots of them can spawn if you are driving one.
- Can be found on the street next to the Bank of Liberty in The Exchange, Algonquin, for Stevie's Car Thefts.
- Very rarely spawns around Star Junction, The Triangle, Algonquin, Liberty City and Alderney City.
- Obtainable during the Bernie Crane mission Union Drive, and can spawn parked in front of the Sprunk Factory in Alderney during the Phil Bell mission Trespass.
- If you compete in Brucie's races early on, it is likely that you will see it in at least one of them. You can kill the driver and steal it but you will cancel the race and your favor with Brucie will go down 3 percent.
- Spawn in traffic in Multiplayer in GTA IV.
- Can be spawned by dialing (227)-555-0168 on your phone. This does not affect any achievements.
- If you steal a police cruiser and open the computer and search Darren Covey, you can kill him and his crew and take the Super GT parked within the group.
