Kehillat Israel Reconstructionist Congregation of Pacific Palisades Continues Carbonfree® OperationsWritten by Greg Husebye of Temple Kehillat Israel of Pacific Palisades
Kehillat Israel Reconstructionist Congregation of Pacific Palisades is proud of our commitment to the Carbonfund.org Foundation since 2008. We feel it is through individual and group commitment and action that we can improve the environment for future generations. Our partnership reflects the shared concerns of climate change and taking action by reducing what we can and offsetting what we can't.
Reconstructionists define Judaism as more than a religion. We see God as the power that infuses all creation with transcendence and inspires us to improve the world and ourselves. We believe in the equality of men and women and that Judaism is an evolving religious civilization reflecting peoplehood, community, history, the arts and ethics.
Our 7-year participation in the annual emissions neutralization program represents a pledge on our part to reducing global warming, as well as water and energy use.
Our congregation is dedicated to a healthier environment, sustainable business practices and a reduction in the carbon footprint of our facilities. We accomplish this by:
- reducing fresh water use through managed irrigation, planting and the installation of low-usage fixtures and waterless urinals
- Achieving energy saving through the use of efficient fixtures, timers and managed thermostat temperature settings
- Recycling of our trash and all disposable materials
- Responsible management of E-Waste
As a self-funding non-profit organization, we have committed ourselves to including thought for the environment in all aspects of our facility operation, budgeting and management.
Linda Kelly, Business Partnerships Manager at Carbonfund.org, adds, "We value our partnership with Kehillat Israel Reconstructionist Congregation of Pacific Palisades and applaud their leadership in maintaining a long-term and comprehensive program to reduce the congregation's environmental impact and mitigate the carbon emissions from their annual operations. Since 2008, the program has neutralized over 3 million pounds of greenhouse gases, comparable to the emissions created by driving an average passenger car almost 3.5 million miles. Our partnership demonstrates a real commitment to 'reduce what you can, offset what you can't™'."

VoxMicro Launches AIRETOS™ Brand and Reconfirms Commitment to Being Carbonfree®Written by Linda
Voxmicro, a leading technology group with prime focus in radio-frequency components, platforms and other network solutions has adopted the AIRETOS™ brand for its OEM and RF modular designs and wireless platforms.
With the introduction of its new brand, VoxMicro is also reemphasizing its pledge to the environmental cause. VoxMicro made a commitment to "zero out" the carbon footprint of its logistics and IT operations, and to provide carbon neutral shipping. Since 2008, VoxMicro has achieved these goals through its Carbonfree® Business Partnership program with Carbonfund.org. By supporting energy efficiency projects that produce measurable carbon emission reductions, VoxMicro neutralizes its own operational emissions.
VoxMicro's environmental initiatives extend beyond carbon neutral operations to use of eco-friendly packaging and shipping materials, minimized corporate travel, and active participation in recycling programs, material control and hazardous substances regulation compliance.
AIRETOS™ is a celebration of those efforts aiming to represent ethical and environmental ways for designing, manufacturing and operating exciting new technologies in the domain of RF Connectivity and the Internet of Things (IoT).
Moving forward, VoxMicro will maintain its commitment to reduce the environmental impact of its products and will be staying at the forefront of active green rebellion for sustainability and preservation. VoxMicro believes it is important to protect our environment and will continue to search for new avenues that protect the environment without sacrificing product and service performance. VoxMicro LTD Group is on the forefront of pursuing operational sustainability and environmental preservation, and Carbonfund.org is proud to partner in these efforts.

Eco Alkalines™ Batteries Complete Rigorous LCA Process to Renew Carbonfree® CertificationWritten by Linda
In order to maximize product sustainability and environmental responsibility, reduce product carbon footprint and enhance transparency in product sustainability initiatives, Eco Alkalines™ Batteries once again undertook a rigorous audit and update of the cradle-to-grave Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) for its products. This audit and update of the product LCA included enhanced product functionality analysis and energy usage, new initiatives to reduce transportation-related emissions and product packaging emissions, greater detail of raw materials content assessment, and establishment of an ongoing product carbon footprint reduction plan with annual goals and achievement measurements.
The updated LCA meets current PAS 2050 and ISO requirements to renew registration of Eco Alkalines™ batteries as Certified Carbonfree® Products with Carbonfund.org Foundation, and ongoing product sales will be reported to Carbonfund.org so that corresponding carbon credits to neutralize the carbon footprint for all products will be purchased and retired on behalf of LEI Products by Carbonfund.org. Eco Alkalines™ batteries have been Certified Carbonfree® by Carbonfund.org Foundation and NSF Sustainability for the past four years.
"Eco Alkalines Batteries continue to lead the market in environmental conservation and sustainability initiatives," states Eric M. Carlson, president of Carbonfund.org Foundation. "The comprehensive re-evaluation they've completed of their products' carbon footprint to the latest in sustainability standards underscores their ongoing commitment to offering businesses and consumers the most environmentally responsible batteries available on the market today."
Eco Alkalines™ batteries are committed to environmental sustainability and green innovation, are environment and landfill conscious. The packaging is manufactured with 80% of recycled materials and the batteries are derived from earth elements which have no trace amounts of harmful metals such as Mercury, Cadmium and Lead.
In addition to their innovative and unique green credentials and applications, Eco Alkalines™ perform equal to or better than the leading national brands in performance and longevity tests. Eco Alkalines™ have a guaranteed 5-year shelf life and a unique patented leak resistant seal ensuring that they will not leak into your devices.
Despite their pioneering eco accolades and novel technology, Eco Alkalines™ batteries are competitively priced compared to the leading national brands. As eco-friendly technology evolves to a 'must' rather than a choice, Eco Alkalines™ does not believe that consumers and companies should have to pay a premium for a green product.
Eco Alkalines™ batteries are geared to environmentally-conscious consumers, as the brand continues to create an environmental awareness with a message of its commitment to reduced world-wide carbon emissions and its suggestion to use recycled material and recycle products when and where possible.

"It is crucial we continue to take part in taking care of our environment," explains Nicole Ossey, HR Director of VonChurch.

Tandus Centiva Renews Certified Carbonfree® Flooring Products RegistrationWritten by Linda
Tandus Centiva, A Tarkett Company, offers a unique line of flooring products as a true fit-for-purpose approach to enhance building spaces for learning, working, healing and living. An important component of its product line is offering Certified Carbonfree® flooring products to its customers, through a program developed by Carbonfund.org.
The company utilizes Cradle to Cradle principals to strategically design and manufacture its products. This closed-loop approach focuses on four key areas: the choice of good materials in the design of products, the responsible use of resources to minimize impacts on the environment, the well-being of people during product use and closed loop recycling at the end-of-use to produce new products with good materials.
The Certified Carbonfree® Product program relies upon a full cradle-to-grave Life Cycle Assessment of each registered product, to determine the entire carbon footprint associated with each square yard of flooring material. Tandus Centiva has renewed its Certified Carbonfree® Product Registration again this year for seven of its flooring products.
"Tandus Centiva will continue to conserve energy and utilize renewable energy sources to reduce greenhouse gas emissions associated with its operations and products," explains Glen Hussmann, President of Tandus Centiva. "Additionally, registering Powerbond® and modular products as Carbonfree® through the Carbonfund.org provides Tandus Centiva customers with a credible means of purchasing Carbonfree® floor coverings."
Tandus Centiva uses a multifaceted approach to reduce the carbon footprint of its operations and products including the reduction of energy, water and solid waste, the increased use of recycled material and renewable energy, along with a continued emphasis on closed loop recycling and post-consumer reclamation of its products. These strategies along with the Certified Carbonfree® Product options places Tandus Centiva among the sustainability leaders in the flooring industry.
PureLife Dental's "Patients Planet Profits" Pledge Includes Carbonfree® Operations and ShippingWritten by Linda Kelly
PureLife Dental is "watching its Ps" when it comes to its triumvirate of operating commitments. PureLife empowers dental practitioners to make a positive difference in the health of their patients, staff, and environmental impact, so that achieving better health can be a realistic part of every purchase decision they make.
The firm's "Patients, Planet, Profits" Pledge ensures that PureLife Dental's customers benefit from the company's goal to provide the highest quality and most environmentally healthy products at the best available prices. From complete waste solutions to everyday dental supplies, PureLife Dental believes that healthy patients, a healthy planet, and healthy profits can all be achieved, with no tradeoffs required.
Through Carbonfund.org, PureLife Dental offsets 100% of the company's annual operational emissions, as well as all of the shipping emissions for every product they sell, from the manufacturing line to the customer's door. Since 2008, PureLife Dental has neutralized over 16.5 million pounds of carbon emissions by supporting Carbonfund.org's reforestation projects around the world. Those carbon emissions reductions are comparable to the quantity of carbon dioxide sequestered by over 192,000 tree seedlings planted and grown over a ten-year period. As a result, PureLife Dental customers are reducing their own environmental impact with every order placed through PureLife.
"When we launched PureLife, the first thing we did was to see how we could reduce the impact of shipping products all over the country," said Cassie Walker, VP of Marketing and Sustainability. "This was important, because dentists could buy their supplies from anyone, but if they buy them from us there's a reduced eco impact, automatically."
"We chose Carbonfund.org for our offset program because they had credibility – their projects are third-party validated and additional – as well as the expertise to help us calculate our emissions until we developed that capability in-house," said Walker. "They've continued to help us refine our program and figure out approachable ways to talk about it with our customers."
In addition to their carbon neutral operations, PureLife's Feel Good Collection include products that have an environmental advantage over their traditional counterparts. Whether they contain recycled content or non-toxic chemistries, or they come in reduced or recycled content packaging, these products allow dental practitioners to make a difference without sacrificing anything.
PureLife Dental's commitment to "Patients, Planet, Profits" underscores its sustainability leadership in the dental supply industry, and Carbonfund.org is honored to partner with PureLife to help achieve these goals.

The Rev. John Bean, an early civil rights leader and the longest-serving pastor of North Christian Church, died Saturday in Indianapolis. He was 84.
A memorial service will be conducted at 1 p.m. Wednesday at Northwood Christian Church, 4550 Central Ave., Indianapolis.
Bean and his wife, Julia, had moved to Indianapolis from Columbus several years ago. He served as minister for North Christian Church from 1967 to 1992, retiring on the occasion of his 25th anniversary.
In that time span he was a central figure in several major initiatives.
- He was a co-founder and former president of the Ecumenical Assembly of Bartholomew County Churches.
- He drafted the ordinance that led to the creation of the Columbus Human Rights Commission.
- He chaired a committee of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in Indiana that integrated the church's leadership, requiring a certain percentage of women and blacks on the national board. While he was the senior minister at North Christian Church, three associate ministers were women.
- As recognition of his efforts on behalf of civil rights, the Columbus Human Rights Commission selected him as recipient of the 1989 William R. Laws Award, named in honor of the late First Presbyterian Church minister who was also a leader in the civil rights movement in Bartholomew County.
While his impact was communitywide, Bean's 25 years at North Christian also left a lasting impression on members of the congregation.
"This is a great loss," said Helen Haddad, a longtime member. "I mean no disrespect to any of the other ministers who went before or followed him, but he was hands-down the best minister we ever had. Even after he retired and left Columbus, he was often invited back to preside or speak at funerals of church members. I still remember the wonderful sermon he gave for my husband Bob's mother, Agnes."
Others remembered the forthright manner in which he addressed controversial issues that earlier church leaders in Bartholomew County had preferred to avoid.
In a 1989 interview with The Republic, he recalled the reaction he got when he approached the Bartholomew County Ministerial Association with a suggestion that the group support a fair-housing ordinance that was being considered by the City Council. He recalled that members of the association told him there was no chance of that happening, as the association was a fellowship group, not an action group.
That didn't deter Bean from diving head-first into controversial issues facing the community. He was not afraid to take the lead. In 1968 he was the first minister in Columbus to conduct a communitywide memorial service following the 1968 assassination of civil rights pioneer Martin Luther King Jr.
"Some doctrines say the church should stay separate from the community," he said in an 1989 interview. "But a central part of my ministry involves service to those unable to compete, those who are marginalized by society."
One of the early steps he took was involvement in the creation of the Ecumenical Assembly. It developed a Mobile Health Care Clinic that provided medical assistance to low-income families. The group also established a fund that offered assistance to disadvantaged families. One of its major initiatives was the creation of the Love Chapel food pantry.
Bean was active in a number of social service organizations. He was one of the leaders in the Community Action Program, which provided aid to indigents, and was on the Advisory Council for Atterbury Job Corps Center.
He frequently stepped out of his ministerial role in becoming involved in a variety of aspects of community life.
He was a former president of the Distinguished Visitors Series, which brought national and international personalities such as author and poet Maya Angelou and baseball Hall of Famer Hank Aaron to Columbus. He also chaired the Independent Nominating Assembly, a nonpartisan group that slated candidates for the Bartholomew Consolidated School Board. He was a member of the boards for the Rotary Club of Columbus and the United Way of Bartholomew County.

I am a JS newbie, reading a book Javascript Patterns for understanding. One of the code snippets I could see :
var myFunc = function param() {
This indicates a new property can be added by anyone outside the function body. Doesn't this break encapsulation ? What if some other part of program keeps on adding new properties making my object creation bulky ? What if someone deletes/modifies properties defined by me ?
I don't know if I am right in calling this a "problem". But if it is, please help with an approach to avoid this.
Thanks !

The 5 stickiest wood glue questions with expert answers
Pages in this Story:
- • How can I tell if my glue is still good?
- • How much clamp pressure is needed?
- • How long should I leave clamps on?
- • Can I take a dry glued joint apart?
Can I take a dry glued joint apart?
Can I take a dry glued joint apart?
Joints made using white and yellow wood glues are most easily taken apart by applying heat. Use a heat gun (photo at right) on the joint line to soften the glue, and the joint will open with slow, steady pressure. Wood has good insulative properties, and it may take awhile, so be careful not to damage projects with the intense heat.

Love this herbal haircolor
Posted by QuirkyMissy on Jul 12, 2014
I have hereditary grey hair, so I use haircolor to cover the grey hair regularly. The problem with off the counter haircolor is that it can be rather harsh on hair and makes my hair brittle and dry. Used this, and love it. It's gentler and the colour is rich and natural!
Love this

great colorant
Posted by Reviewer2998637 on Aug 04, 2011
I was surprised it's as convenient to use as usual chemical hair color. Liked it much more than henna. And most of this brand colors I used looked so natural that everybody thought I don't color my hair.
Was this review helpful to you?

Beautiful color.
Posted by 4points on Aug 29, 2007
I love the way this product colors my hair. There isn't a chemical smell to me. Also, because they use recloseable bottles, I am able to only use 1/2 of the product per coloring each time. Saves me money!

During today's call, we'll discuss second quarter 2011 results and our financial guidance for 2011 for continuing operations.
On the call today are our CEO, Wes Bush, and our CFO, Jim Palmer.
With that, lets go to Slide 3. And at this time, I'd like to turn the call over to Wes.
Wesley Bush
All right. Thanks, paul. Good morning, everyone thanks for joining us.
Our second quarter results demonstrate that our strategy of driving shareholder value through performance, portfolio optimization and effective cash deployment continues to generate EPS growth. Despite a challenging top line environment, we had exceptional margin rate performance for the quarter. After adjusting last year's second quarter results for the $0.98 per share tax benefit, our earnings per share from continuing operations increased 24% to $1.81 from $1.46. The primary EPS growth drivers were continued performance improvement in our businesses, higher pension income and a lower share count.
Our businesses generated a 12% segment operating margin rate. Total operating margin rate increased to 12.8%, primarily reflecting performance improvements and higher pension income. In May, we executed a $1 billion accelerated share repurchase which immediately reduced our outstanding share count by 15.6 million shares. And along with the dividend increase we also announced in May, demonstrates our continued commitment to creating shareholder value through returning cash to our shareholders.
We now expect our 2011 EPS from continuing operations to range between $6.75 and $6.90. The increase in 2011 EPS guidance contemplates our strong year-to-date results and performance improvement for both segment operating margin and total operating margin rates. The new range represents double-digit, year-over-year EPS growth after adjusting for one-time items in 2010 such as the tax benefit and the impact of our debt tender.
Cash performance for the quarter and year-to-date continues to support our guidance. Through 6 months, cash from continuing operations, before discretionary pension contributions, totaled $490 million, 21% higher than last year. And as we've stated on previous calls, we expect cash generation to be weighted toward the second half of the year which has been our historical pattern.
Turning to sales, 3 primary factors impacted the quarter. Fragile uncertainties impacting our customers, the announced force reductions in Iraq and Afghanistan and our own portfolio shaping decisions that were anticipated in our guidance.
So let me briefly discuss all 3 of these.
First, overall budget pressures and the decline in government and defense outlays. The 6-month continuing resolution, as well as continued uncertainties surrounding the debt ceiling and future defense budgets, caused our customers to move more slowly and spend more conservatively. We did not see the recovery in spending that one might have expected with the end of the continuing resolution and the passage of the fiscal year 2011 budget. In this environment, new awards are moving to the right, and is also taking a bit longer to get continuing business under contract.
In addition to budget pressures, we are beginning to see the impact of the announced troop drawdowns in Iraq and Afghanistan primarily in Electronic Systems for ID/IQ contracts such as the vehicular intercommunication systems that are used by the Army.
And finally, sales do reflect our strategic portfolio shaping, which includes the previously announced reduction in our Nevada Test Site joint venture participation, which we announced earlier this year, as well as the sale of our San Diego County outsourcing contract back in May. While these 2 actions reduced second quarter sales by approximately $160 million, they also supported this quarter's performance improvement and segment margin rate expansion.
So based on year-to-date results and our outlook for the rest of the year, we now expect 2011 sales of approximately $27 billion. Looking forward, we continue to believe that we are well aligned with our customers investment priorities in Unmanned Systems, Cybersecurity, C4ISR and Logistics. We believe that these areas will continue to be well supported in future budgets as they are critical to the most pressing national security missions. We expect that once the current state of budget disarray is resolved and future projects are clarified, our customer spending behavior should begin to normalize. However, the environment continues to be very dynamic and it may take some time before there is more clarity in DoD strategy and its program level planning.

Can you imagine that? All those wonderful toys.
Completely awesome!! I love the Bat logo around the top border. Nice. And the details kick ass...especially Batman's grim scowl. btw, in the latest Batman New 52 story arc they finally put that giant penny and mechanical dinosaur to use!!
This is great. The level of detail is amazing from the hatching on the giant nickel to the soles of Jokers feet.
It's a penny but thank you so much for noticing all the small stuff, it makes it all worth it.
Time for a time out, Joker.
and the giant nickel...
It's a penny but I'm not sure where it came from. I haven't read that story but it's always in his batcave.
whats with the dinosaur???.......

He who has survived his childhood intelligently must become conscious of something more than a change in his sense of the present and in his apprehension of the future. He must be aware of no less a thing than the destruction of the past. Its events and empires stand where they did, and the mere relation of time is as it was. But that which has fallen together, has fallen in, has fallen close, and lies in a little heap, is the past itself—time—the fact of antiquity.
He has grown into a smaller world as he has grown older. There are no more extremities. Recorded time has no more terrors. The unit of measure which he holds in his hand has become in his eyes a thing of paltry length. The discovery draws in the annals of mankind. He had thought them to be wide.
For a man has nothing whereby to order and place the floods, the states, the conquests, and the temples of the past, except only the measure which he holds. Call that measure a space of ten years. His first ten years had given him the illusion of a most august scale and measure. It was then that he conceived Antiquity. But now! Is it to a decade of ten such little years as these now in his hand—ten of his mature years—that men give the dignity of a century? They call it an

First Data Details Western Union Separation Plan
Breitkopf, David, American Banker
First Data Corp. has provided a detailed look at its planned spinoff of Western Union Financial Services Inc., including an explanation of how the parent company plans to divide its balance sheet.
In a filing Thursday with the Securities and Exchange Commission, First Data said that it expects the deal to go through in the fourth quarter. The remittance company would be renamed Western Union Co., and its stock would trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol WU.
The Denver transaction processor's shareholders would receive one share of Western Union stock for every First Data share they own.
As part of the spinoff, Western Union would transfer to First Data up to $3.6 billion, in cash or a combination of cash and debt securities.
Western Union plans to borrow money to cover the cash portion of that payment. It would also forgive the $87.2 million of debt owed by First Data.
Robert J. Dodd, an analyst with Regions Financial Corp.'s Morgan Keegan & Co. Inc., said that First Data has about $5.5 billion of debt. Shifting the bulk of it to Western Union would make sense, because it "has good cash flow, doesn't need acquisitions to drive growth, and can support a lot of debt."
After the spinoff, First Data would need to make acquisitions to grow, and "you need to be able to pay for them, so you need to minimize the debt on that piece of business, so it has more debit capacity to go out and make acquisitions," he said.
Last year Western Union generated $4 billion of revenue and $898.2 million of net income for First Data.
Excluding the initial separation costs, Western Union would have $65 million to $75 million of annual operating costs as a stand-alone company, according to the filing.
First Data announced the spinoff plan in January, after months of speculation that it would take dramatic steps to make itself easier for investors to understand. …
