Episode 18
To Fight Fire with Fire
"Where the hell are we going?" a tall, small built man asked rhetorically. He wore long jeans, which he had begun to hate whilst treading through the mysterious desert in the stifling heat. He carried a pair of goggles with him, which his job in a steel plant required. He was now really grateful that he had it on him the particular day that he and his Digimon partner were somehow transported into this strange place. He wore them now, giving his eyes relief from the blowing sand.
Vedamon, an imp type Digimon wearing ancient Arabian style clothing, willed his body to radiate heat, incinerating any sand which blew in his direction. Any time Davis, his tamer, accidentally bumped into him he would get singed and yowl loudly.
They walked on through the desert in what seemed like forever until Davis stopped. He shielded his eyes with his hands and squinted, spotting something in the distance.
"What is it, Davis?" Vedamon asked.
"Trees! Like an oasis! Wait a second
" He removed his goggles and turned to his Digimon, "I think it's a mirage."
"Look again!"
Davis turned back and looked once more, seeing the trees once again, "It's not a mirage! It's really there! Haha!" Davis rolled up the bottom of his jeans and dashed off, Vedamon following close behind him.
They had reached the small oasis in minutes, spotting the small pool of water. Davis immediately threw himself on the ground beside it and plunged his head into the water. Vedamon knelt down and cupped his hands, filled them with the water and drank gratefully. After a moment of drinking eagerly Davis sat himself up, wiping the water off his face with the back of his hand as he looked around. Up in the tall palm trees were large, brown coconuts bunched together. Davis stood up and looked around on the sand. Vedamon asked, "What are you doing?"
"Looking for a rock or something."
"What for?"
"To get one of those coconuts down."
Vedamon looked up and examined the large coconuts, "Uh
I don't think that's a good idea."
Davis picked up a nearby rock and was ready to throw it. "Davis."
"Hang on, Vedamon. Imma get us some food."
Davis flung the rock upwards, hitting one of the coconuts dead on. It moved, but did not fall.
"Damn!" Davis searched for the same rock to throw once again. Vedamon was looking at the coconut, which began to move and groan. "Davis!"
"What?" Davis finally turned to Vedamon, "What is it?"
Vedamon pointed up the tree. Davis looked up and saw the coconut move, a moment later the ones next to it began to shake. Suddenly the entire bunch of coconuts detached from the tree and fell to the ground. A pair of eyes appeared on one of them with a gaping mouth and sharp teeth. It stood up, the other coconuts forming its arms and legs. It roared aloud. Davis was rooted to the spot, a few meters away from it.
"Davis!" Vedamon ran up along side him, his fists clenched and glowing slightly.
"Tropical Cannon!"
From one of its coconut arms the Digimon shot rocks at the duo. Davis instinctively turned and ran as fast as he could. "Wha- Davis?" Vedamon had expected him to give Vedamon the order to attack. He was confused for a moment before Davis called out to him, "Just run Vedamon!" Vedamon dashed off, narrowly avoiding one of the rocks colliding with his head.
The tamer and his Digimon ran towards what looked like grassy plains. Davis tried his best not to stumble in the sand as he ran and, as soon as they reached the end of the desert and were running on solid ground, they ran even faster.
When he was sure they weren't being followed, and were out of reach of the rock attack, Davis slowed down. He breathed heavily as they stopped and looked behind them. The coconut Digimon was still far off, in the desert oasis.
"Dammit!" Davis stomped one of his feet on the ground. "I'm starving."
He looked around, realizing that he and Vedamon were close to what looked like an industrial area of large, metal buildings. Most of the buildings had chimneys which gave off trains of black smoke into the air above them. The building in the center was the largest, with the biggest chimney that gave off the most smoke.
Vedamon took a few steps ahead of Davis, "Fire." He said. "There's a lot of fire there."
"You think they have anything to eat?" Davis heard his stomach growl.
The group of nine tamers and their Digimon walked on for what seemed like hours. Some of them became agitated because of the heat, others made it obvious that they were tiring quickly, especially the Digimon. Rockymon trudged on, dragging his paws on the ground. Maaumon let her tail drag along behind her, the golden ankh heavily weighed it down. Vulpemon pushed on, hiding the fact that her legs were shaking slightly.
"Alex, we have to stop." Maya said finally.
Alex nodded and stopped, he carried his hoodie over his shoulder. He wiped the sweat off of his brow with the back of his hand.
Trask sat himself down onto the grass, wiping the back of his neck. The others sat down one by one, breathing the air in deeply. Selena removed her thick coat and rolled up the sleeves of her pale blue, long sleeved dress. She looked around at each of the other tamers and Digimon, seeing each of them flushed with the heat. She nudged her penguin Digimon, "You can help them out."
"Huh? Oh, right." Tulamon nodded.
"Activate Evolution!"
"Tulamon evolve to
Tulamon grew to a larger penguin Digimon with bright, dark pink feathers on her head and tail.
The tips of Niscimon's claws formed ice and as she touched the ground the ice spread, freezing the grass beneath the group. She then inhaled deeply and let out a gentle cool breeze at the group.
"Ah, Niscimon, you're a Godsend!" Trask said, relishing the cool breeze.
Maya noticed smoke in the distance. "What do you suppose that could be?" she asked Phoebe, pointing to it. Phoebe shrugged her shoulders, "Perhaps another village?"
"No," Alex said. "Villages don't make black smoke."
"Could be some kind of factory? I mean, anything's possible here." Trask said.
"Could be," Alex thought as he stared in the direction of the smoke.
"We should check it out. I don't see any other villages around." Yasmin suggested.
The group took a few moments to cool themselves off before heading off again.
They were getting closer to the source of the dark smoke that trailed into the sky above them. They saw the large, metal buildings, factories of sorts, and the largest one in the center.
"It's a little hot here, don't you think?" Trask pulled at the collar of his shirt in an effort to cool himself down a bit.
"Certainly is." Viola fanned herself with her hand.
"Hey! You there!"
A voice shouted to them. The tamers and Digimon looked around. Vulpemon's fur stood on end, as did Rockymon's and Mauumon's.
"Over here!"
The tamers looked in the direction of the voice. A Digimon stood waving to them from one of the steel buildings nearby, beckoning them to him.
"Quick! Friend or foe?" Trask asked.
"Hurry up!" the Digimon shouted. The tamers and their Digimon stood where they were. Suddenly a fire ball came hurling towards them. "Look out!" the Digimon shouted.
"Crystal Torrent!"
Tulamon jumped up and shot a stream of ice cold water from her mouth, reducing the fireball to steam. More fireballs were hurled at them.
"Pyro Tornado!"
The mysterious Digimon ran up to the group and leapt up, spinning in mid-air before being engulfed in raging orange flames. The flaming tornado absorbed all the fireballs and blasted them back into the direction they came, hurling into the Digimon that had sent them; as tall as a human man, but completely engulfed in fire with bright, blue eyes. He sneered as the fireballs were returned to him, barely flinching as they were absorbed by his flaming body.
The tornado subsided and the Digimon stood in front of the team; he was also as tall as a man, with large, red and gold armor covering his body. He had a red mask covering his human-like face and long, blonde hair.
"Agunimon!" the flaming Digimon yelled at him with scorn. "What do you think you're doing? Can't you see these creatures are dangerous? They look just like the one we've found."
"The one we've found?" Alex whispered.
"The tenth tamer?" Maya exchanged a look with him.
"Meramon, these creatures are not dangerous." Agunimon said.
"And how would you know?"
"Because I don't listen to your pathetic leader!"
"How dare you!"
"Do you not know who these Digimon are?"
"Weaklings! Nothing more!"
"The Digimon of Origin!"
The flaming Digimon that is Meramon stood silent for a moment, his eyes rolling off of each of the rookies.
"Impossible! Those are just stories."
"These are humans. How else would that explain their being in our world?"
Meramon stood silent.
"Think about it, Meramon! Ten humans, with ten Digimon."
"Enough! You will pay for your insolence! SkullMeramon will hear about this! But after he rewards me for defeating you!"
Meramon leapt at Agunimon, fists clenched. "Get out of the way!" Agunimon yelled at the group before leaping forward, meeting Meramon in mid-air, their fists connecting. Flames formed on the gauntlets of Agunimon's forearms and feet. The team backed away from the two fire Digimon.
"Okay. Friend." Alex told Trask.
"Agunimon, champion level Digimon." Phoebe checked her D-Ark device.
"The other one's Meramon, also a champion Digimon." Selena checked hers.
Agunimon swung his arm towards Meramon's head. He ducked quickly and countered with a kick to Agunimon's torso. Agunimon fell back but regained his composure and shot forwards with a punch to Meramon's face. Meramon tumbled to the ground, holding his jaw.
"We don't have to do this, Meramon. You know deep down I'm right, and the stories of the Digimon of Origin are true. You can feel that it's true, as I can." Agunimon stood over Meramon.
"But SkullMeramon, he told us that-"
"SkullMeramon is a tyrant. You let him lead you because you're afraid. You and the other Digimon here." Agunimon held out his hand to the flaming Digimon and helped him to his feet.
Meramon looked at the group of humans and their Digimon, "I knew who they were the second I saw the other one. I just
didn't want to believe it. SkullMeramon would've been extremely angry if any of us said something."
The two fire Digimon walked towards the group. "I apologize for attacking you," Meramon said. "I am Meramon."
"And I'm Agunimon. Please, don't be afraid."
Maya took a step forward, "I'm Maya." She gestured to her feline Digimon at her side, "This is Rockymon." One by one Maya introduced the other members of the team.
"There's another human here?" Duke asked Meramon. He nodded.
"The human and the Digimon with him came searching for food. The Candlemon took them to their home and gave them sustenance. One of the others had alerted our leader, SkullMeramon, and he ordered that they be taken as his prisoners." Meramon explained.
"Where are they?" Phoebe asked. Meramon turned and pointed to the tallest building in the city.
"We have to free them. Will you help us?" Maya asked. Agunimon nodded with a smile. Meramon was hesitant. "If SkullMeramon finds out-"
"I think SkullMeramon's reign is just about over." Agunimon said. "There have been numerous rebellions against him, but he
" Agunimon clenched his fists. "He's just too strong. He's got most of the Digimon here wrapped around his finger. And the rest of them are just too scared to do anything."
"Then let's make a deal." Alex stepped forward. "You help us by releasing the prisoners, and we'll help you overthrow SkullMeramon."
"Overthrow?" Meramon stepped back. He was beginning to get nervous.
"No need to be afraid, Meramon." Agunimon said. "I have faith in them, don't you?"
"Will you quit it?" Davis told his Digimon.
"I'm meditating!" Vedamon replied.
"Well your humming's giving me a headache."
The two were locked away in a small, dingy dungeon cell. It had one small window, which denied Davis any relief from the heat of the furnace that was burning nearby. Vedamon was calm and collected, always resorting to meditation whenever the two were in a tight spot.
"Come on, Vedamon. Just evolve so you can get us out of here!" Davis said. "I'm dying here, man!" He wiped the sweat from his brow.
"But Davis, there are too many of those Digimon guarding this place, we can't make it out that way."
"Then what do you suggest? Being slow roasted alive?" Davis' flailed his arms. "I'm used to high temperature, Vedamon, but not the inside of an oven!"
"Master!" Meramon stood in front of his leader, SkullMeramon. "We've captured more of them!"
SkullMeramon had the body of a well built man, but he had a head made of metal which and blue, flaming hair. He also had heavy chains wrapped across his torso and arms. He leaned forward in his seat, intrigued as more Meramon walked into his chamber with a group of the same strange creatures and some Digimon. He gave an amused chuckle before he spoke with a deep voice, "Excellent, Meramon! Have them sent to the dungeon with the other two."
"Very good, master." Meramon turned and gestured. The other Meramon poked and prodded the group as if herding them out of the chamber.
"Wait!" SkullMeramon stood up. "Bring that one to me!" he pointed at the blond girl with the blue dress.
Meramon became nervous, but gently pulled on Selena's arm and led her to his leader. "Selena
" Tulamon said under her breath.
SkullMeramon stepped down and walked around Selena, examined the human girl. "Don't you touch her!" Duke shouted. SkullMeramon stopped and turned towards the others. "Which one said that?"
One of the Meramon pushed Duke forwards with such force he tripped and fell. He picked himself up and dusted himself off, glaring into the red eyes of SkullMeramon.
Davis repeatedly banged his head in frustration on the steel gate of his cell, trying to distract his brain from Vedamon's incessant humming. From the stairway beyond the cell gate he heard a scuffle. He stopped and looked up the stairway, seeing nothing but moving shadows in candlelight. Suddenly a Meramon came tumbling down the stairs. Davis jumped back. Vedamon stood up, alert. Agunimon came running down towards the cell.
"Agunimon!" Davis shouted happily.
"Shhhh! Told you I'd help you out."
"How did you manage?" Vedamon asked.
"The others, they're here!"
"Others?" Davis looked at Vedamon.
"Humans! And the Digimon of Origin!"
"No way!" Davis said.
"Stand back!"
Davis and Vedamon took a few steps back as Agunimon summoned flames from the gauntlet of his left arm.
"Pyro Darts!"
With his right arm he grabbed the flames and threw them at the cell gates like darts. The flames ate through the steel bars, melting it. The fire Digimon then kicked the gate, sending it flying to the back wall of the cell.
"Come on!" he said.
Davis and his Digimon followed him back up the stairway.
"Duke!" Selena shouted as SkullMeramon whacked Duke across the face with a heavy hand, sending him flying across the floor.
"Golden Beam!"
The golden ring around Elishamon's neck and arms began to emit a blinding white light as she sent beams out, blasting the Meramon that held them before leaping into the air, her body engulfed in a bright red-pink light.
"Elishamon evolve to
The small, pink dragon's form grew large and larger, sprouting horns on her head and fairy-like wings on her back. The light faded and she landed on the ground with her large paws, causing the ground to shake for a second.
"Frozen Nova!"
Enumamon inhaled deeply. Exhaling, she sent a blast of ice cold breathe at SkullMeramon. The blue flames on his head were almost completely diminished. Selena took the opportunity to run up to Duke, who was out cold on the floor. "Tulamon!" Selena shouted. The penguin Digimon began to glow with a pale blue light.
"Tulamon evolve to
From the light a larger penguin creature stood, with sharp claws on her fins.
"Blizzard Pummel!"
Niscimon raised her fins, which became slightly frosted. She began to launch icicles at SkullMeramon. He caught one in his grip. The icicle melted as his hands became engulfed by blue flames.
"All of you, get in there!" Alex yelled out to the remaining rookies.
"Rockymon evolve to
"Maaumon evolve to
"Equimon evolve to
"Vulpemon evolve to
"Heraldimon evolve to
"Midomon evolve to
"Griffmon evolve to
Groups of Meramon swarmed into the chamber, leaping in to attack the newly evolved champions.
"Panthera Punch!" Manxmon leapt in, punching multiple fire Digimon. Mikemon jumped from one onto another, scratching and clawing as she went. Youkomon and Kentauromon buckled and kicked at the Meramon that tormented them. Leoarmon scratched and clawed while Heraldimon whacked the Meramon with vines of thorns. Graikosmon charged and tackled the fire Digimon. The lone Meramon joined the Digimon of Origin and attacked his former comrades. SkullMeramon charged towards Niscimon.
"Frozen Nova!"
Elishamon hurled out a ball of molten rock as she exhaled, catching SkullMeramon on his back as he charged. He tumbled forwards, almost loosing his footing.
"Arctic Blitz!" The tips of Niscimon's claws froze over and she jumped forward, scratching SkullMeramon across his shoulders, ice forming in her wake as she leapt out of the way. The fire Digimon shrugged the ice off and swung towards the two champions.
The tamers caught sight of Agunimon running into the chamber, with a smaller Digimon behind him and, more importantly, another human. "It's him." Maya said. Davis was astonished by the group of Meramon being attacked by some awesome looking Digimon. As he looked around the room he saw a dragon and a large penguin take on SkullMeramon. His eyes traveling further across the room his spotted the group of humans, "No way. It's true then."
"Davis, let me help them!" Vedamon tugged on his jeans.
"What?" He looked down at his Digimon, "Oh, right." He retrieved his orange and silver D-Ark from his pocket.
"Vedamon evolve to
Vedamon was covered in a bright orange light. His form grew tall and human-like. His arms split into two pairs. The light faded, revealing his new form; he wore long, light yellow pants and had belts around his waist, ankles and two of his four wrists. The remaining two wrists had shining gold gauntlets on them and on his head he wore a golden crown. He twirled his two long, Arabian swords as he shouted out proudly.
"Enough!" Dharmamon yelled, his commanding voice echoed through the large, steel chamber. The Meramon and the champions paused, all eyes on Dharmamon. The new champion stood with two arms in his hips, the third he raised up, pointing his sword at SkullMeramon. The Meramon backed towards one side of the chamber, the Digimon of Origin backing towards their tamers, allowing SkullMeramon to make his way towards Dharmamon.
SkullMeramon grinned beneath his metal mask, "A challenge then?"
"Accept it, or show yourself to be nothing more than a coward." Dharmamon said calmly.
"Coward?!" SkullMeramon became angered. He bounded forwards towards Dharmamon. The champion stood unwaveringly. As SkullMeramon neared he leapt out of the way, sending the tyrant crashing into the wall.
"You think he stands a chance?" Trask whispered to Alex, who shrugged his shoulders.
"SkullMeramon's an ultimate level Digimon," Alex checked his device.
Dharmamon let out a giggle as he landed. SkullMeramon stood up, brushing the rubble off of his shoulders. "Wanne play, do you?" He unwrapped the chain around his arm, sending blue flames along it as he swung it into the air.
"Heat Chain!"
Like a whip SkullMermaon sent the chain flying towards Dharmamon. He parried it with a blow from his swords.
"Fire Slash!"
Dharmamon's swords ignited into raging flames. He charged forwards, slamming his swords down, but SkullMeramon had quickly wrapped his chains around his fists, parrying the attack. He then grabbed Dharmamon's small wrists in his large hands. The smaller Dharmamon struggled to pull his arms free. Using his free arms Dharmamon whacked and punched at SkullMeramon's head and hands.
"Metal Fireball!"
SkullMeramon opened his mouth, a ball of metal formed in his jaws, small flames lapping around it. Dharmamon gasped.
"Pyro Tornado!"
Agunimon's flaming twister careened through the chamber, knocking SkullMeramon off balance. He released Dharmamon's arms and the both tumbled to the ground.
"Help me, you idiots!" He beckoned towards his Meramon minions. "No!" the ally Meramon shouted at his fellow fire Digimon. He then turned towards the tyrant Digimon, "Your reign of terror is over, SkullMeramon."
"What? You fool!" SkullMeramon slowly picked himself up. "I'll have you-"
"You'll have him what, thrown in your little prison cell?" Davis put his hands on his hips with a sense of triumph.
"You're outnumbered, SkullMeramon. Admit defeat and step down as the leader of Fire City, or else," Dharmamon said calmly.
SkullMeramon looked around the room, realizing Dharmamon was right; the ten champions, with Agunimon and the treacherous Meramon could easily defeat him. After a moment, he finally held up his arms in defeat, "Fine, I admit defeat."
SkullMeramon left Fire City as the team and Agunimon and the other residents watched. The Meramon stood sentry, making sure he didn't return. Maya and the others exchanged introductions with Davis and Vedamon. Duke still held onto his head, that still throbbed slightly form the blow.
Meramon walked over, "Thank you all. You've rid our home of that tyrant, something we've all wanted, but were too afraid-"
"No need," Trask shook his head.
Meramon nodded. "Well, now we need a new leader." He put a flaming hand on Agunimon's shoulder. Agunimon looked at him and jumped back, "What? Me? I can't lead a-"
"You're the most courageous Digimon I know. It's only right." Meramon said.
"You promised to help Vedamon and me and you did." Davis said.
The Meramon began to chant, "Agunimon! Agunimon!" Agunimon blushed. "Well, alright, I guess."
Meramon clapped him on his shoulder as the other residents; the Candlemon, DemiMeramon and Coronamon cheered.

New York, Mar 7 : Shia LaBeouf took to Twitter to hit back at Alec Baldwin, after he suggested that his former 'Orphans' co-star was not made for Broadway.
LaBeouf tweeted an e-mail from director Dan Sullivan that implied Baldwin had not rehearsed for the play, the New York Post reported.
In the e-mail, Sullivan wrote that LaBeouf should not be too surprised if Baldwin doesn't look up from his script much for the first few days.
Sullivan said that he suspected that Baldwin is not nearly as prepared as LaBeouf is, which is not at all unusual when actors have a good long rehearsal time like they have.

They have even set up a website with mock-up pictures of Shia as Jesus Christ, the Sun reports.
Meanwhile, the actor recently disclosed that he had injured his eye during the filming of 'Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen'.

Desiree Edinger, a delightful young lady at Trimble County Middle School, hosted a fundraiser to help out a friend. She organized an activity to "duct tape a teacher to the wall!"
Edinger asked a group of friends to assist her with the task, created advertising for the event, requested the assistance of her teachers and sold strips of duct tape to her peers. It was not an easy activity to plan as she had previously thought, but the end result was fun and extremely successful.

CREDO Continues Heritage of Environmental Responsibility through Carbonfree® Programs
Over the years, Carbonfund.org has been honored to work with some of the most innovative and environmentally responsible organizations in the world. One of these partners is CREDO, a social change company that offers top-notch products and services, including mobile services and credit cards.
CREDO Mobile is the first mobile phone company in the U.S. to join Carbonfund.org's Carbonfree® Partner Program, which estimates and offsets the carbon emissions produced from the company's electricity usage, as well as the shipping of its mobile phones. CREDO Mobile also offsets the carbon footprint of its San Francisco headquarters.
"Carbonfund.org is a breath of fresh air, a cost-effective solution that's easy for anyone," states Michael Kieschnick, CEO and President of CREDO.
CREDO and Carbonfund.org currently are partnering on a unique credit card offering with an environmental component. A group of pre-approved CREDO customers will have the opportunity to apply for a CREDO credit card, and after the customer receives and uses the card, CREDO and Carbonfund.org will plant 25 trees on behalf of the customer and send them a $50 Restaurant.com dining reward.
As part of CREDO's ongoing social and environmental commitments, a portion of all CREDO revenue is donated to progressive nonprofits working for women's rights, the environment, equality, peace and social justice. Since 1985, CREDO has raised over $76 million for these groups, and their customers and activists help pick the groups and vote on how to distribute the donations.
The CREDO community also comprises a strong political force with more than 3 million activists who are passionate about making a difference in our world. CREDO makes it easier for them to have an impact by giving them simple ways to speak out on issues they believe in. As CREDO puts it, being green isn't just a fad – it's part of CREDO's identity, fighting the green fight with dollars, deeds and voices for the past 28 years. Carbonfund.org is proud to partner with CREDO to ensure the company's environmental commitments are realized.
Six-Year Carbonfree® Partner EMWeb Design Pursues Ways to Reduce Operational Emissions and Offers Eco-friendly Services to Clients
Even the greenest IT services firm recognizes that it has a carbon footprint. After renewable energy sources, paperless processes, recycling and energy conservation measures, there remains some energy use, business travel, mailings and supplies that create carbon dioxide emissions.
Forward-thinking companies like Carbonfree® Business Partner EMWeb Design are neutralizing their current carbon footprint while continually seeking ways to reduce it.
EMWeb Design provides comprehensive Internet design and marketing for small businesses, professionals, creative artists and civic organizations. Services include branding, logo design, web design, search engine optimization, social Internet marketing and print media.
"Environmental responsibility starts with each one of us," explains Elizabeth Mullen Matteson. "EMWeb is striving to cut our carbon impact continually. For now, we are offering more "green" options to clients, and for the sixth consecutive year, are purchasing carbon offsets through Carbonfund.org, so that our overall carbon footprint remains zero."
This six-year commitment of carbon emissions neutrality has mitigated the same quantity of carbon dioxide emissions as 6000 trees planted and grown over a ten-year period. That's meaningful impact for a business focused on sustainability.
EMWeb Design offers solar and wind-powered web hosting, and can also provide environmentally friendly printing options using recycled and sustainably-produced papers and soy and vegetable-based inks. As EMWeb Design makes progress in operational emissions reductions, the Carbonfree® Business Partnership program will continue to provide a way to "reduce what you can, offset what you can't™".
DermaMed Solutions Joins CarbonFree Partnership Program to Neutralize Carbon Footprint
DermaMed Solutions announced that it has joined the Carbonfree® Partnership program. Operated by Carbonfund.org Foundation, the program helps individuals and businesses understand climate change and develop practical and cost-effective solutions to slow, stop and reduce the climate crisis.
DermaMed Solutions explains that is has joined the Carbonfree® Partnership program to neutralize their carbon footprint by supporting clean air technology and carbon reduction projects in the US.
"It's an important step towards ensuring a healthier earth," says DermaMed president Mark Pinsley, in a press release. "DermaMed Solutions chose to partner with Carbonfund.org because we wish we could do more. In our daily operations, we strive to find new ways of packaging and promoting products that are ecologically friendly, and we recycle whenever possible. However, finding alternative ways to accomplish sustainably is not always logistically and financially feasible. Carbonfund.org is a great way to make a difference. We are happy Carbonfund.org is here to help!"
"The first step in the path to sustainability is recognizing that you can make a difference," says Eric Carlson, President of Carbonfund.org. "We encourage everyone to continually strive to reduce their carbon footprint through sensible energy reductions combined with cost-effective carbon offsets to eliminate their overall carbon footprint."

Doing More Together than Alone – The Difference that 1% for the Planet Members Are Making with Carbonfund.org
An approved 1% for the Planet nonprofit partner, Carbonfund.org Foundation is leading the fight against global warming, making it easy and affordable for any individual, business or organization to reduce & offset their climate impact and hasten the transition to a clean energy future.
Since 2007, Carbonfund.org has enjoyed support of almost two dozen 1% for the Planet member businesses. Collectively, these 1% FTP members have neutralized almost 31 million pounds of greenhouse gas emissions by donating all or part of their annual 1% donations to this organization. In some cases, these businesses have gone above and beyond their 1% commitment, making additional donations to support energy efficiency, renewable energy, and forestry projects around the world. That 31 million pounds of emissions is equivalent to the amount of carbon dioxide sequestered by 11,500 acres of US forestland each year.
Several of these companies first discovered Carbonfund.org through their 1% FTP membership, and they have benefited from the programs that Carbonfund.org offers to donating businesses.
Here are some key examples of how this partnership has worked to benefit 1% businesses, Carbonfund.org, and most importantly, the Planet!
Moxie Bookkeeping of New York, NY, a full-charge accounting services firm, discovered Carbonfund.org through its 1% for the Planet relationship six years ago and decided to join the CarbonFree® Partner program for small businesses. A portion of Moxie Bookkeeping's 1% FTP pledge funds the annual CarbonFree® Partnership program, and in return, Moxie Bookkeeping enjoys the benefits of the program including use of the CarbonFree® Partner logo, a Partner Page on Carbonfund.org's website, and blogs about Moxie Bookkeeping's sustainability commitments.
"Carbonfund.org was an easy pick for me," explains Ean Murphy, founder of Moxie Bookkeeping. "While living in NYC lets us make the most of public transportation, wind powered energy and recycled office supplies, there is always more we can do to help offset our carbon footprint, and Carbonfund.org has a great reputation. I'm proud to have been a partner for the past seven years."
GoodLight Natural Candles of Ridgway, CO also found Carbonfund.org through its 1% FTP pledge. Owner David Callicott began by joining the CarbonFree® Small Business Partnership program but took the relationship to the next stage by working with Carbonfund.org to calculate its total annual operational carbon footprint, including all office energy usage, business travel and product shipping emissions. GoodLight Natural Candles now makes a larger donation to Carbonfund.org, still within its 1% FTP pledge, to ensure that the company is truly CarbonFree® in all areas of its operations.
With the motto of "Live Give Run," Charm City Run, a Maryland-based athletic shoes retailer with five store locations, an online store, and a running race events organizer, places a high priority on its charitable giving. Involved in almost a million dollars of charitable donations to Maryland-area and national organizations, Charm City Run donates a portion of its 1% FTP pledge to Bethesda, MD-based Carbonfund.org.
"Making a difference has never been this easy," says Tom Mansfield of Charm City Run. "Carbonfund.org encourages individuals and businesses to control what they can. There are basic steps that we should all be following to be as responsible as we can. Carbonfund.org helps to make this possible and they will continue to receive support from us because of this."
Another 1% FTP member, Eagle Wing Tours, recognizes that its whale-watching tours are dependent on healthy oceans and marine life. To mitigate the effects of any tour-related emissions, Eagle Wing Tours undertook a complete analysis of their tour operation's carbon footprint, from office operations through all fuel used by their tour vessels, in order to become the first carbon neutral whale-watching tour operator in Canada. Eagle Wing Tours makes an annual carbon emissions offsetting donation to Carbonfund.org that exceeds their 1% FTP pledge, but the commitment to environmental responsibility is worth the additional costs. This year, Eagle Wing Tours and Co-owner Brett Soberg received two industry awards for its environmental stewardship.
"We are trying to redefine what we think a model wildlife tour company is," explains Brett Soberg, Co-owner and Captain at Eagle Wing Tours. "Spotting that whale is the cherry on top of an already very comprehensive marine experience. What we can do to protect these species by supporting education, conservation and responsible business is where we really count."
Carbonfund.org offers a range of programs to all businesses and encourages 1% for the Planet members to complete a complimentary analysis of their annual carbon footprint. This is part of the educational mission of Carbonfund.org and will help 1% FTP members determine the best ways to neutralize a portion or all of their annual carbon emissions.
The collective efforts of these 1% FTP members are making a measurable difference in supporting carbon emissions reduction and clean air projects around the world, while returning valuable marketing advantages and leadership status in environmental stewardship to the member companies. If assessing, reducing and neutralizing all or a portion of the carbon footprint of your business is an important initiative, contact Carbonfund.org to discuss how your 1% for the Planet pledge can help you achieve your goals.
Kofcan Provides New CarbonFree® Verified Biomass Fuel Source to Canadian Homeowners and Companies
Carbonfund.org is pleased to announce the addition of a new Certified Carbonfree® Product that no only neutralizes its product's cradle-to-grave production emissions but also produces a source of renewable energy from reclaimed coffee grounds waste.
Kofcan Inc.'s biomass fuel pellets, which are made from spent coffee grounds, have earned Carbonfree® certification from Carbonfund.org Foundation and NSF Sustainability, a division of global public health organization NSF International. Carbonfree® product certification for its 15 kg, 25 kg and 1.5 kg bags of coffee pellets is a credible, transparent way for Kofcan to provide a carbon-neutral fuel source to home owners and environmentally-conscious companies.
Kofcan's biomass fuel pellets were designed to recycle waste into energy and provide a more efficient and lower environmental impact alternative to wood pellets. Instead of contributing to landfills, the spent coffee from which the pellets are made is collected from restaurants and institutions in a 200 km radius of the micro pellets plant in the provinces of Quebec and Ontario. The resulting pellets have a higher energy output, generating 27.5 percent more BTUs (British Thermal Units) than wood pellets.
"Kofcan and its founders Michel Cordeau and Sylvain Laroche have developed a truly waste-free and efficient energy source. With the addition of Carbonfree® certification through NSF Sustainability, Kofcan is able to demonstrate the carbon neutrality of its coffee pellets and communicate to home owners as well as industrial companies its commitment to environmental stewardship," said Tom Bruursema, General Manager of NSF International's Sustainability Division.
"Kofcan is proud to have the first energy pellet to be certified Carbonfree® as well as the first energy pellet that creates viable energy from a waste product instead of the harvesting and processing of trees," said Michel Cordeau, CEO and founder of Kofcan, Inc.
In addition to maintaining a low carbon footprint by sourcing spent coffee from local businesses, Kofcan also assessed the environmental impacts of its coffee pellets by undergoing a detailed life cycle assessment to measure its carbon emissions in North America. Kofcan then offset its carbon emissions through investment in third-party validated renewable energy, energy efficiency and forestry carbon offset projects provided by Carbonfund.org, a leading nonprofit and developer of the Carbonfree® Product Certification program, the first carbon neutral product label in North America.
"Increasingly, companies are recognizing the importance and value of offering carbon-neutral products and carbon content labeling," said Eric Carlson, President of Carbonfund.org. "Undergoing a comprehensive process to achieve carbon neutrality and Carbonfree® Product certification for their coffee pellets, which are a unique renewable energy source from a waste material, marks Kofcan as a leader in the solution to global warming."
The Carbonfree® Product Certification program uses life cycle assessments (LCAs) to determine the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions over a product's entire life cycle. GHG emissions (expressed as carbon dioxide equivalents) that cannot be reduced or eliminated from the product's life cycle are offset or neutralized with third-party validated renewable energy, energy efficiency and forestry carbon offset projects.
Carbonfree® certified products earn the use of the Carbonfree® mark along with being listed in the Carbonfund.org online product certification database. The Carbonfree® mark can be found on a variety of products today, including food, beverage, electronics and apparel.
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.
Mac-Gray Campus Solution's Lighten the Load™ Program Mitigates over 107 Million Pounds of CO2 with Carbonfund.org Foundation
Mac-Gray Campus Solution's Lighten the Load™ initiative is reducing college carbon footprints while educating students on the benefits of making sustainable choices in the laundry room. We applaud the company for looking at the impact on the environment as a corporate priority. By encouraging campuses to reduce the environmental impact of their properties and facilities, and offering them environmentally responsible solutions to accomplish this objective, Mac-Gray is serving an important role to help campuses further their efforts to promote on campus sustainability. Since the start of the partnership six years ago, we are proud to report that Mac-Gray has mitigated over 107 million pounds of CO2 through external carbon reduction projects chosen to meet the voluntary guidelines set forth by the American College and University Presidents Climate Commitment (ACUPCC).
In 2012, Mac-Gray supported our exceptional project located in the "lungs of the Earth" - the Brazilian Amazon. In the world's largest rainforest, the PURUS REDD + (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation) Project will protect over 85,000 acres from slash-and-burn forest clearing and prevent millions of tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions. The Purus Project, the first ever REDD+ project in the State of Acre, to achieve dual-validation to the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) and the Climate, Community and Biodiversity Standard (CCBS) with Gold Distinction, boasts many environmental and community benefits including: reduction of carbon dioxide emissions, mitigation of climate change, conservation of habitat for endangered and threatened species, improvement for local water quality, retaining of top soil and control erosion, establishing alternative sources of income and employment opportunities, and social projects and programs such as building a new school and health clinic. It is a high standard, cutting edge project that proves beneficial for both planet and people.
Carbonfund.org Foundation is a proud partner of Mac-Gray's Lighten the Load program and we look forward to building on the great work that has been done over the past six years.

The first step in the path to sustainability is recognizing that you can make a difference. Each of us can reduce our emissions, whether in our personal or business life, and be part of the environmental solution. Leaders take additional steps to neutralize the emissions they cannot eliminate.
New CarbonFree® Business Partner DermaMed Solutions has done just this. DermaMed Solutions manufactures and distributes equipment designed for skincare professionals, including their flagship microdermabrasion product MegaPeel® and other natural skin care products and protocols, nutritional supplements and home care regimens. In their daily operations, they strive to find new ways of packaging or promoting products that are ecologically friendly, and they recycle whenever possible.
To address the remaining operational emissions, DermaMed Solutions has joined the CarbonFree® Partnership program to neutralize their carbon footprint by supporting clean air technology and carbon reduction projects in the US. It's an important step towards ensuring a healthier earth.
"DermaMed Solutions chose to partner with Carbonfund.org because we wish we could do more," says DermaMed co-owner Mark Pinsley. "Finding alternative ways to accomplish sustainably is not always logistically and financially feasible. Carbonfund.org is a great way to make a difference. We are happy Carbonfund.org is here to help!"
Uchit Corporation Believes a Fairer World Includes Operating CarbonFree®
In Hindi, the word "uchit" means "fair" or "just". New CarbonFree® Business Partner Uchit Corporation believes that a fairer world should include people and the natural environment in which we live.
Uchit partners with artisan cooperatives – the majority of whose members are women - to offer fair trade, hand woven textile goods through its online store. Uchit was created for women's empowerment and a majority of profits go towards supporting projects aimed at achieving that goal. As a registered California Benefit Corporation, Uchit is obligated to provide a general public benefit – a material positive impact on society and the environment. Uchit does so by practicing fair trade, following rigorous environmental policies and giving back to the society.
In order to achieve its environmental objective to keep its footprint on the earth as small as possible, Uchit sources only eco-friendly fabrics made using earth friendly dyes. Every aspect of Uchit is run with the environment in mind, and this is reflected in the product fabrics, labels, packaging and shipping. The additional step to neutralize all remaining operational emissions with Carbonfund.org completes Uchit's commitment to being a fully sustainable business.
"Uchit believes in a fairer world – both for humans and the earth," states Ruksana Azhu Valappil, President and CEO of Uchit. "Our commitment to the environment matches that of Carbonfund.org. It is only natural that we arepartners in our environmental objectives."
Uchit offers a "fair deal" to the artisans whose products it sells, to its customers, and to the environment through attention to sustainable business practices and CarbonFree® operations.

Announcing electronic manuscript submission and review for
The Journal of Computational Neuroscience
Kluwer Academic Publishers is very pleased to announce an agreement with
Aries Systems Inc for making use of their fully customized, web-enabled
manuscript submission, review and tracking system. Starting December 17,
2001, The Journal of Computational Neuroscience will start to accept
online submissions and provide online review services. Authors,
editors and reviewers can make use of this system via a special
click-able button - My Manuscripts - on the journal's home page
Processing of manuscripts and communications with authors, editors and
reviewers will be entirely electronic. This will reduce the review time
substantially as no time is lost in the mail. Authors can submit
manuscripts using computer programs they are familiar with, as the
system automatically converts, on the fly, submission source files
from Word, WordPerfect, .RTF, LaTeX2e, text files, Adobe Postscript
files, PDF files, GIF, TIFF, JPEG, PICT graphic files into a single
PDF for review distribution. Authors are also entitled to download
this PDF file for their own use. Authors can check the status of their
manuscripts 24 hours a day, 7 days per week.
Role-based (author, editor, reviewer, publisher) security and
confidentially is ensured by requiring a user name and password. (The
system automatically generates a password when submitting a new
manuscript and people can select their own user name). This role-based
configuration limits access to a person's role and enables a single-
or double-blind review system.
Journal of Computational Neuroscience will consider manuscripts either
sent by mail or electronically. Manuscripts sent by mail should
contain a floppy disk with the electronic file so that the Editorial
Office staff can enter the manuscript into the review system and
handle it by proxy. Should you have any queries or encounter any
problems, please do not hesitate to contact
Ms Karen Cullen
e-mail: email@example.com
tel: +1 781 871 6600
After extensive internal and external testing of this online
submission, review and tracking system we are confident that the
service to our authors, editors and reviewers is considerably
improved. Your support and cooperation is very much appreciated.

In order to turn over aging inventory and make way for more current stock, some products on our site are listed in a "Dutch Auction". In a Dutch Auction, the selling price of a product is repeatedly lowered every day until product is sold out. As a result of the decreasing purchase price the product deal becomes more enticing to other buyers.
Act quickly to purchase at this "special price" before inventory is depleted and the product is sold out.

"Wine, Dine and Win" CPI fundraiser
Wednesday, April 16, 2014
It was a full house for the third annual "Wine, Dine and Win" California Progress, Inc. (CPI)fundraising event Saturday, April 27 at Braykley Hall near Centertown .
Those present began findingt places at the tables after checking the selection of pop, beer or wines at the beverage table, purchasing 50/50 tickets and second-chance drawing tickets, inspecting the silent auction offerings and mingling while waiting for the prime rib dinner to be served.
The dinner catered by Burl Lutz included salad, baked potato, vegetables, tea and cobbler topped with vanilla ice cream.
During the "Big Bucks" style event, Vickie Schoeder drew tickets as Jeff Shackleford, master of ceremonies, read off the numbers to be entered in pre-blocked spaces on a board, some of which already contained dollar amounts. As the board was filled with drawn ticket numbers, each number which landed on a dollar amount space won that amount. In addition to several winners of $50, $100, $250 and $500 the was one "big bucks" winner of $1,500. That winner was not present.
A ticket was drawn for a 50/50 winner who received half the money received for tickets with the remainder going to the fundraiser.
Silent auction items ranged from dance lessons by Rudy and Vickie Schroeder to a hedge trimmer with many items in between.
A live auction was held for tickets to the upcoming "Sock, Hop and Roll" and $400 gift certificate to the Hermann Hill Vineyard and Inn or the Hermann Hill Village.

Waterfowl Hunting Update
Duck Creek will offer 28 flooded positions to choose from on opening weekend. These positions are:
Pool 1 - L3 & L4 (available Saturday, Sunday, Tuesday, Wednesday; 1:00 pm close)
Pool 2 - A1, B1, D1, E1 thru E-4, F-1, G-1, H1 thru H4, I1, J1, K1 & K2 (sunset close)
Pool 3 - AA3, BB4, X4, Y2 (sunset close)
Pool 3 will be gradually flooded to full pool elevation by mid-November, and the remaining hunting positions will be added as they become available.
Pool 8 - The water control gates will be closed the first week of November and it will depend on rainfall from that point to fill this pool. Depending on flooded acreage, between five and 40 individual hunters will be allowed. (1 p.m. close)
Dark Cypress Swamp - 2 positions (available Saturday, Sunday, Tuesday, Wednesday; 1 p.m. close) More positions will become available as these pools fill from rainfall and/or flood from the Headwaters Diversion Channel.
New Pools - Fishponds WRP, Kinder, Field 1 (1 p.m. close)
The WRP pool is 1/2 mile south of the HQ adjacent to highway 51. You can see the drained fishponds from the highway, but there are approximately 30 flooded acres of mixed habitat behind them. The Kinder pool is an old, flat-graded rice field and lies directly east of Field 1 behind the houses near the juntion of highway K and 51. It has approximately 20 acres of shallow flooded water. Both of these land parcels were purchased by Ducks Unlimited and donated to Duck Creek to enhance the future development of this area. Approximately 8 acres of Field 1 were able to be flooded with a temporary levee and by borrowing water from the Kinder pool.
No reservations were issued for Duck Creek this year. The number of reservation positions is required to be submitted to the system by August and at this time the amount of water in Pool 1 reservoir could not be forecast for November. Water from Pool 1 is the only reliable source available to flood pools 2 and 3 and it is rapidly lost through evapotranspiration between these months. It is not uncommon to lose a foot of water in a month when conditions are hot, dry and rain-free. Fortunately, the relentless summer heat finally let up a bit, and we received several rains which allows enough water in Pool 1 to flood the other pools. If this were not the situation and we remained in droughty conditions (as the western portion of our state are currently experiencing) we could have very easily had no positions to hunt until conditions changed (remember last year?). Issuing reservations months in advance at Duck Creek is always a gamble but we usually have some guaranteed flooded positions to fall back on in units A and B. These positions are not available this year due to the renovation construction in this area.
The new structures have worked well in the offseason and have helped us move down the road with the renovation. We're glad we can increase the number of positions compared to last year and also throw a couple new spots into the mix. Things are getting set for the season opener and we're looking forward to the upcoming season. We hope you are too.

it is a shame that joe hunter, joe tax payer, and joe american, cant just go duck hunting. I guess if you want a quality hunt, you will have to use a guid service. That is so sad!!!!!!!

I have to agree with anonymousbill; the QD system is horrible and gets seriously exploited with guys putting in their wives, moms and grandmothers. I've seen 2 different women in their 70's at Slough and I'd bet good money they didn't stay and hunt. They were there with some 20something boys and I'll bet Grandma went back home and made breakfast after the blind got drawn. If you really want to hunt ducks, you should have to show up and wait in the poorman's line. Everyone who doesn't like the QD needs to reply on the QD comment section. I'm sure the guys at Duck Creek have less say in it than we do.

Ryan Goddard - I can't wait to manage these improvements; its been a long time coming. There is already some water in the scoured sloughs and low lying pools and there will be sheetwater showing across the land. I am sure this will attract some waterfowl and if possible we will allow parties access to hunt it. We need to work out the details with the contractors, but if they are gone and we can get people in there, we will allow some hunting.

well hope you dont go to a QD like the other areas next year as it seems we the hunter and tax payer or not getting to get out as before with just poorboy line and reservation on land our taxes pay for and maintains,seems mdc wants to hold ducks not kill or just wants to rid itself from duck parks,many letters will follow all year long to jeff city and any missouri congressman who will listen to us,QD has ruined alot of hunting for alot of folks who has had to depend on duck parks to hunt,PRETTY SAD

The Fish ponds and rice field will each have one position available. We will also likely have a position available in Field 1 west of the rice field.

Hello Keith, Dennis, everyone. You guys are doing a great job. I cannot wait to see the improvements to units a and b. My son will still see some amazing hunting in the years to come because of it. I do have a question- if and when some good rain comes, their will be sheet water in unit a and b. If their is, the ducks will find it. If it is to wet to work can you let some parties hunt that water while it is their?

Police Say They Have A Lead in Tel Aviv Killings
Jim Burroway
August 2nd, 2009
Ha'aretz says police believe they have a lead in the manhunt for the Tel Aviv killer, and in the process are trying to downplay the possibility of a hate crime:
This tip has to be examined very carefully. We are still at an early stage in the investigation, and it's too soon to say if this supposition is going to materialize," police sources said. Besides homophobia, another direction under investigation is that of a personal feud, they added.
Some of the sources criticized the reaction of the leaders of the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community, who police say rushed to make declarations about incitement being the cause of the murders of the two victims.
"They were too quick with the rallies and the slogans. It's not at all clear – the motive for the attack may have been personal, rather than a general targeting of the community," a senior Tel Aviv police source told Haaretz.
Meanwhile, friends and relatives gathered for the funeral of Nir Katz, the 26-year-old youth counselor at the LGBT center. The other victim, 16-year-old Liz Trubeshi was also laid to rest today. Liz's friends say that she was active in the gay youth organization as a supportive ally, even though she was not a lesbian herself.
Meanwhile, hundreds turned out for a rally in Tel Aviv Sunday afternoon to protest the shooting. Opposition leader Tzipi Livnie told the mourners, "We need to give strength to the child who comes to his parents and says: 'I am gay,' or 'I am a lesbian;' and this day needs to give the strength to everyone in the gay community to live their lives."
The Knesset will hold a special plenum debate on the attack Monday.

Nintendo Isn't Even Working on Smash Bros. for Wii U
I'm starting to see how new console announcements work for Nintendo: 1) announce console, 2) say you're going to make a new version of every major first-party franchise even if you won't actually start working on it for a year or two. If you promise Nintendo fans that they will be be able to play the same old s–t on a new console, well, they have to buy it.
So, yeah, the guy who knows about these things, Smash Bros. creative lead Masahiro Sakurai, says in a Famitsu column that, even though Iwata-san announced them at E3, they haven't started working on new Smash Bros. for either Wii U or 3DS because the team is working on Kid Icarus 3D, and that it'll be several years before anybody will get to play them. Ha!
In the meantime, Smash Bros. fans, there are literally dozens of other games you could be playing. You should try them out.

RISMEDIA, June 8, 2009-Builders of single-family housing for the mature home buyer market reported an increase in traffic of prospective buyers during the first quarter of this year, according to the 55+ Housing Market Index (55+ HMI) released today by the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB). The component measuring traffic rose to 14, up from nine in the last quarter. The reported sales component, however, dropped five index points to 12 from the previous quarter's 17. The drop in the reported sales component pushed the overall 55+ HMI down from 16 to 14.
"A strong and growing number of retirees and empty-nest households are interested in either downsizing or moving to a more user-friendly home – especially if it's near their existing community," said David Crowe, NAHB's chief economist. "But the current market still presents significant obstacles to homeowners who need to sell an existing home before buying a more appropriate one. That situation is holding many mature consumers back from moving."
The 55+ HMI is a diffusion index, derived from quarterly surveys of builders and developers designed to study builder sentiment on single-family housing and both multifamily condo and rental conditions. The survey asks builders to rank their perceptions of the current sales conditions, prospective buyer traffic, and market expectations for the next six months as "good," "fair," or "poor." The responses are used to create a scale of 0 to 100, with a rating of 50 generally indicating that the number of positive responses is about the same as the number of negative responses.
Despite difficult market conditions, builders who specialize in this sector are seeing more prospective buyers coming through their doors according to the survey. Builders exhibited guarded optimism as they look forward six months, with the six-month expectation index number rising from 24 to 26 for single-family sales, and the condo sales index number rising from 17 to 20. Expectations for multifamily rental starts fell from 37 to 35.
"With the return of a more stable, healthier housing market, the pent-up demand for housing with the features and amenities that appeal to Baby Boomers will keep builders in this sector busy for years to come," noted Crowe.

Family: Poaceae
Common name: Perennial Quaking Grass, Cow-quake, Didder
Plant Classification: Hardy perennial
Maximum Height: 30 cm
The ever popular "Perennial Quaking Grass" is ideal either as a spot plant or a cut flower. Long lived and hardy, the massed heads of pendant flowers move and actually rattle in the slightest breeze.
Sowing advice: Sow at any time, in a well-lit position, into a good, soil-based compost. Cover seeds thinly and keep moist at around 15 degrees C or 60 degrees F. Some New Zealand species can be very slow indeed and may need cooler temperatures before they will come up. Grass seedlings should be potted on and grown on singly, or in clumps for more rapid establishment of a large specimen.

Also, one of my favorite lines ever written is "Mind on a permanent vacation, the ocean is my only medication, wishing my condition ain't ever gonna go away" so meet in paradise, "you never know until you try, when you lose yourself, you find the key to paradise"…I lost myself years ago; and I've never loked back.
