[quote:Anonymous Coward 2399064:MV8xNjYxNzYzXzI3NDU4NTIyX0FGMzA2RTND] [quote:Noble:MV8xNjYxNzYzXzI3NDU4NDc2X0Q0RTgzNDU3] [quote:Anonymous Coward 2399064:MV8xNjYxNzYzXzI3NDU4NDEzX0YyRDg2NzVF] "Chem-trails are NOT a myth. I should know as I was an airline pilot for a major carrier before the recent rash of layoffs left me without a job or an income. Unlike many of my colleagues currently collecting unemployment, I have no desire to return to the airline industry and, therefore, am no longer committed to keeping the dark truth regarding chem-trails a secret. As many other airline pilots, I started my flying career in the military. Here is where I first learned of the government's program to fill the sky with chem-trails for a number of sinister purposes. The operation was initially called "Dark Cloud" and later changed to "Silver Lining" (yes, the military is full of original thoughts, right?). Of course, like many other military pilots, I underwent an extensive background check in order to receive my "Top Secret" security clearance, the minimum level of clearance required to participate in Operation Silver Lining. By the way, this is one reason the airlines prefer hiring ex-military pilots, i.e., they already have the necessary clearance to continue the operation. Of course, civilian pilots are also hired, but there is a considerable expense in performing the necessary background checks on them in order to award them the prerequisite clearances. The program functions generally as follows: The desired chemical agents (which I will cover in detail soon) are integrated into the jet fuel itself by the large oil companies at their refineries. This is why there are no separate delivery trucks or aircraft spraying systems to be found. The chemicals are dispersed directly by the engines into the atmosphere. The military and "civilian" airline programs are very similar, so I will only cover the airline program in detail here. It all starts with the flight plan. In addition to the aircraft weights, weather, route of flight, etc. are a couple of symbols. The first is an asterisk "*" and the second is a double asterisk "**". Tough stuff, eh? :-) Anyway, the asterisks will be found in the route of flight for the aircraft. For example, let's take a hypothetical flight from Los Angeles (LAX) to Denver (DEN). The flight plan will show a route of flight like this: LAX DAG* LAS BCE HBU** DEN. This is overly simplified, but it basically means the flight will fly from Los Angeles to Dagget to Las Vegas to Bryce Canyon to Blue Mesa then to Denver. Notice the asterisks? They mean chem-spraying is to begin over Dagget and end over Blue Mesa! Cool, huh? Ok, so how do the pilots actually perform this spraying since, as many debunkers point out, there are no controls for the spraying in the cockpit? This just shows how little they know about the flight deck of an airliner! First of all, after the aircraft is filled with the chemically laced fuel, the fueler hands the pilots a sheet of paper with all the details of the fueling operation. In addition to the amount of fuel boarded are a couple of insidious little roman numerals located next to the fuel truck identification. These are usually I or II, but can be III or IV. These numbers signify the type of chemical agent found in the jet fuel. There is never more than one agent used at a time since it was discovered during trials at Edwards AFB in 1976 that they don't work well when mixed. This is what the numbers mean: I - General purpose psychological control agent. Mild effect but covers wide areas. II - Advanced psychological control agent. More powerful than type I but disperses and weakens quickly. III - Large scale neutralizing agent. Nasty stuff! More details about this one below. IV - Neural disruption agent. Kind of like a powerful airborne narcotic. As you might guess, type I is used most frequently over wide sparsely populated areas. Type II is used whenever flights will be over densely populated areas like cites. Type III is basically a deadly nerve agent. Rarely used from airliners as you might imagine, but I did use this a few times in the Persian Gulf while flying over Iraq. We would wipe out a few small villages and naturally blame Saddam Hussein for the massacre. Type IV is usually used after significant political-social events like the Election 2000 debacle. In order to prevent mass riots or other civil disruptions, the population will be covered with Type IV agent to calm them down! Getting back to the pilots, this is how the operation continues. After noting the type of agent from the fuel sheet, the pilots enter this data into the Flight Management Computer (FMC). For all you debunkers out there, the FMC is how the entire system is controlled, so of course you're note going to see anything extra on the flight deck! After telling the system what kind of agent is on board, the pilots enter the spraying start and stop points from the flight plan. Remember the asterisks? Well, the FMC doesn't have an asterisk key so the pilots use the following procedure. Once the route of flight is in the FMC, the pilots enter "CTB" (chem trail begin) with the keyboard and line select into the point with the single asterisk from the flight plan. Then they enter "CTS" (chem trail stop) and line select that into the point with the double asterisk. Now the aircraft knows where to begin and where to stop spraying! How the system actually starts and stops the chem-trail is interesting also. After all, since the agent is in the fuel, how come the aircraft don't lay a trail on takeoff? The answer is in the molecular make up of the chemical agents. They are specifically engineered to be 10 times the size of the fuel molecules they accompany. There is a special fuel filter in the engines called a "spatial polarizing membrane". This membrane in its normal state is like a wood picket fence. It only allows the smaller fuel molecules to pass through and proceed to the engine's combustion chamber. However, when the FMC commands the engines to start chem-spraying, a signal is sent to the membrane and it reorients itself so the "slats" of the wood picket fence are edge on to the oncoming fuel. This basically opens up the filter to allow larger particles through, such as the chemical's molecules, and they proceed to the engine for dispersal. Sometimes there are problems with the system. The most common malfunction is the finicky and temperamental polarizing membrane. After about 500 hours of use, it starts to degrade and the flow of chemical agent becomes sporadic. This can often times be seen in the irregular uneven nature of some chem-trails. Since the pilots cannot see the trail they are laying, they are not always aware that the membrane is screwing up. For this reason, air traffic control will often times put aircraft into holding patterns simply for the purpose of allowing the pilots to check their chem-trail for quality! Finally, there is the HUGE issue of 9/11 and the government's BIG cover-up. Nothing new here, eh? It sure was convenient to blame the disaster of 9/11 on Islamic terrorists. After all, who really questioned it? The true perpetrators of the crime were none other than militant members of SAP (Society for Atmospheric Purity) that call themselves the "Purple Buttons". Apparently they identify themselves to each other by sewing a single purple button on their clothing. Although questionable in their methods, they are extremely knowledgeable about Operation Silver Lining and are working hard to defeat it. The purpose behind the 9/11 hijackings was the discovery of a new chemical agent, Type VII, that was ready for testing (Type V and VI are supposedly still under development). This new agent was supposed to attenuate the human desire for material objects and make people happy with their modest means. The application of this agent couldn't have come at a better time with the economy failing and unemployment increasing. Well, the Purple Buttons learned about this new agent and the government's plan to debut the concoction on Sept. 11, 2001 using either 767's or 757's from United and American Airlines. Due to a well versed misinformation campaign, the Purple Buttons could not confirm exactly which flights would carry Type VII, but they narrowed it down to a few flight numbers. Naturally, they were transcontinental flights that would spread the agent from the east to west coast. The plan was to destroy the aircraft before they could spray Type VII across the entire country and while they were at it, they were going to demolish a few ground targets that were key to Operation Silver Lining. The most prominent target was the World Trade Center twin towers. As you might recall, Tower One had a large antenna array on its roof. This antenna was a receiver for all the aircraft in the chem-trail operation. Basically, aircraft would transmit data regarding their operation such as agent used, altitude dispensed at, and atmospheric conditions to the receiver in Tower One. The computer that compiled and encrypted the data for transmission to central control was in Tower Two, so both buildings had to be taken out. Just where was this central control? It was either in the Pentagon or the North wing of the U.S. Capitol building. Those were the targets of the 757's in the operation. Unbeknownst to the Purple Buttons, the receiver at the twin towers had been deactivated a month prior and moved to another location, believed to still be somewhere on the Eastern Seaboard as this is considered the geographic center of 85% of the world's airline activity. A further set back was the failure to take out central control which was confirmed to be at the Pentagon, but in another wedge. This too has thus been moved to an unknown location. Agent Type VII was subsequently tested again after 9/11 but found to be ineffective and is undergoing further refinement. As for me, I am currently in negotiations to publish a book that exposes Operation Silver Lining. The book will be titled, "The High in the Sky" by Ex-Captain Jay. Wish me luck!" http://www.chemtrailcentral.com/ubb/Forum1/HTML/001648.html [/quote] I guess you missed all the comments after that... The guy was obviously lying...never was a pilot..and was using the gullibility f his fellow chemtards (like u=you) to spread his nonsense. [/quote] Nope, he as much of a pilot as you are a shill. :lmao: [/quote]

Mindy McCready's final recorded conversation
Listen to Mindy McCready on iHeartRadio
(Yahoo!) - Sadly, Mindy McCready's final 24 hours on earth were some of her worst.
In a taped phone conversation with her good friend just a day before her Sunday afternoon suicide, the country singer sobbed as she recounted finding her boyfriend, David Wilson, just moments after he shot himself in the head at their Heber Springs, Arkansas, home on January 13.
"He was lying on the ground with his brains all over the floor," McCready told private investigator Danno Hanks during the conversation, which was obtained by E! News. "And then I held him and I kissed him and I told him I forgave him. And I said, 'David, none of this means anything. You didn't have to do this. Please, don't die. Please. We love you so much. Please don't die.'"
And he didn't for two hours, the 37-year-old revealed to Hanks, who claims McCready was aware that their conversation was being recorded. But she didn't get to be with him in his final moments, she says, because police were still investigating the incident.

Growing up, I was mortified by my parents' public displays of religion. I'm still convinced that from the years of 1982 to 1986 my parents were part of a cult; others called it "Marriage Encounter."
One fateful Friday afternoon in 1980, they packed one suitcase and prepared to leave for the first of many retreat weekends; weekends that would become the bane of my existence; weekends that would become the main reason I fled to therapy at the ripe age of ten.
"We're not getting divorced," they asserted repeatedly, often in unison, when I questioned their decision to join such a mysterious organization. Of course, deep down I suspected that was the reason they were going. "What are you hoping to encounter?" I asked sarcastically.
"Marriage Encounter helps turn a good marriage into a great one," they'd say chipperly, having memorized the tagline of the brochure, which featured the M.E. symbol — a heart above two intertwined circles united by a crucifix. Even though I was in fifth grade, I remember the Sunday evening that they arrived home in our purple Plymouth as if it was yesterday — it changed my childhood from a semblance of normalcy to something otherworldly. My parents pledged their full allegiance to the United States of Marriage Encounter and all of the rites and rituals that came with it. The burden of my adolescence was simple: I was mortified by my parent's public display of religion.
Marriage Encounter stickers soon made their insidious way into our home. I considered them an infestation as my parents placed them everywhere — on the refrigerator; in the back windshield of the Plymouth, replacing the triple-A sticker à la "Who needs a tow truck when you have the Lord?"; even on the outside of the front door of our house. Whenever any of my friend's parents drove me home from school and were curious as to what the sticker represented, I would lie and say "It's for UNICEF; just ignore it."
In 1982, I turned ten and asked for Michael Jackson's Thriller album for my birthday; I got Godspell.
What fresh hell is this?
Just when I thought things couldn't get worse, they inevitably did. That year, our home became the holy headquarters when my parents were elected "team leaders" of the upstate New York chapter of Marriage Encounter. "What fresh hell is this?" I remember asking at the age of eleven when I arrived home from softball practice one spring evening to our living room, full of hand-holding strangers and reeking of Sanka and polyester.
I remember looking around the transformed living room — a sea of strangers smiling at me — hoping my scowl of scorn would fend off a group hug. (It didn't.) I met the cast of characters who would shape my adolescence.
Father Al: a gregarious Italian priest who had dinner at our house at least twice a week — my Mom and Dad now went everywhere with him. (This would become my personal definition of a threesome: two parents and a priest.)
Tony and Joan: the coolest of the bunch, in that Joan wore tight jeans and Tony swore and smoked cigarettes — certainly not typical of holy rollers.
Frank and "Chickie": I never knew Chickie's real name, though I suspected it was probably Mary Frances, Mary Ellen, or Mary Elizabeth. They were the oldest of the group, attended daily mass, and had eight children. Frank said "I love you" each time I saw him.
Ray and Theresa: to me they looked more like twins than a married couple, as they both had crooked teeth and stood no more than 5'2″. Even though Ray gave me money for ice cream or school supplies at each and every meeting, I still had no problem in making fun of his belt buckle, a gold carving of the Marriage Encounter symbol that dutifully held up his pants. "Why don't we all just go downtown and get the Marriage Encounter logo tattooed on our foreheads?" I asked the group at the beginning of the second meeting. Everyone laughed, except my parents. (I was grounded for a month.)
Hugh and Anne: their daughter Maggie became my idol after I stayed with them one weekend, and Maggie and I were allowed to stay up and watch both The Love Boat and Three's Company, television shows that were forbidden at home.
Henry and Nancy: soft-spoken and intellectual; Henry was a chemist, Nancy a social worker. Because they didn't have children of their own, they faithfully attended my brothers' and my sports games, plays, concerts, communions and confirmations for the next two decades.
Yet it wasn't just the weekly meetings at our house or the many weekends my parents spent traveling around the country, like Deadheads on tour, to attend retreats; it was the lack of what I considered a normal life. I dreaded going to "Charismatic Mass." It was held once a month and was always longer than forty-five minutes. It featured the polyester parade replete with microphones and guitars, a veritable Catholic Woodstock, minus the sex and drugs. I begged to sit in the back pew by myself, preferably with a paper bag over my head.
They always ended with the couples standing in a circle on the altar, singing the Marriage Encounter song, a heinous spectacle for my twelve-year-old eyes to behold:
"There's a new world somewhere, it's called the Promised Land
And I'll be there someday, if you would hold my hand
But if I should lose your love dear, I don't know what I'd do
For I know I'd never find, another you…"
The group would substitute the final word of the last line to a resounding "US!" loud enough that it was probably heard in Bangladesh.
I remember scrutinizing the brochure that was stuck on the front of our refrigerator, via a ME sticker. I was grounded (again) after crossing out the answers to the frequently asked questions for new members and substituting in my own. The brochure listed questions such as:
- "Is there any age limit?" (No, couples as old as Yoda are invited to attend.)
- "Is Marriage Encounter for all faiths?" (No, only those who foolishly collect stickers.)
- "What does a weekend cost?" (Only your dignity!)

New York • With chants and prayers, sermons and signs, outrage over a jury's decision to clear George Zimmerman in the shooting of an unarmed black teenager poured from street protests and church pulpits Sunday amid calls for federal civil rights charges to be filed in the case.
Demonstrations large and small broke out across the country ranging from a few dozen to more than a thousand in support of the family of Trayvon Martin as protesters blasted the not-guilty verdict as a miscarriage of justice.
The NAACP and protesters called for federal civil rights charges against Zimmerman, who was acquitted Saturday in Martin's February 2012 shooting death, which unleashed a national debate over racial profiling, self-defense and equal justice.
The Justice Department said it is looking into the case to determine whether federal prosecutors should file criminal civil rights charges now that Zimmerman has been acquitted in the state case.
In New York City, hundreds of protesters marched into Times Square on Sunday night, zigzagging through Manhattan's streets to avoid police lines. Sign-carrying marchers thronged the busy intersection, chanting "Justice for! Trayvon Martin!" as they made their way from Union Square, blocking traffic for more than an hour before moving on.
In San Francisco and Los Angeles where an earlier protest was dispersed with beanbag rounds police closed streets as protesters marched Sunday to condemn Zimmerman's acquittal.
Rand Powdrill, 41, of San Leandro, said he came to the San Francisco march with about 400 others to "protest the execution of an innocent black teenager."
"If our voices can't be heard, then this is just going to keep going on," he said.
Earlier, at Manhattan's Middle Collegiate Church, many congregants wore hooded sweatshirts which Martin wore the night he was shot in a show of solidarity. Hoodie-clad Jessica Nacinovich said she could only feel disappointment and sadness over the verdict.
"I'm sure jurors did what they felt was right in accordance with the law but maybe the law is wrong, maybe society is wrong; there's a lot that needs fixing," she said.
At a youth service in Sanford, Fla., where the trial was held, teens wearing shirts displaying Martin's picture wiped away tears during a sermon at the St. Paul Missionary Baptist Church.
About 200 people turned out for a rally and march in downtown Chicago, saying the verdict was symbolic of lingering racism in the United States. Maya Miller, 73, said the case reminded her of the 1955 slaying of Emmitt Till, a 14-year-old from Chicago who was murdered by a group of white men while visiting Mississippi. Till's killing galvanized the civil rights movement.
"Fifty-eight years and nothing's changed," Miller said.
Protesters also gathered in Miami, Philadelphia and Washington, D.C along with a host of other cities.
In Miami, more than 200 people gathered for a vigil. "You can't justify murder," read one poster.
Carol Reitner, 76, of Miami, said she heard about the vigil through an announcement at her church Sunday morning. "I was really devastated. It's really hard to believe that someone can take the life of someone else and walk out of court free," she said.
In Philadelphia, about 700 protesters marched from LOVE Park to the Liberty Bell, alternating between chanting Trayvon Martin's name and "No justice, no peace!"
"We hope this will begin a movement to end discrimination against young black men," said Johnathan Cooper, one of the protest's organizers. "And also to empower black people and get them involved in the system."
Earlier Sunday, hundreds gathered in Union Square in New York City to voice their passions over the verdict, hoisting placards with images of Martin.
Some tempered their anger, saying they didn't contest the jury's decision based on the legal issues involved.
But "while the verdict may be legal, a system that doesn't take into account what happened is a broken legal system," said Jennifer Lue, 24.
Civil rights leaders, including the Revs. Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, urged peace in the wake of the verdict. Jackson said the legal system "failed justice," but violence isn't the answer.
But not all the protesters heeded those calls.
In Oakland, Calif., some angry demonstrators broke windows, burned U.S. flags and started street fires. In Los Angeles, police said a crowd of about 100 protesters surrounded an officer and had to be dispersed by officers firing beanbag rounds.
Obama: Preventing tragedies honors Trayvon Martin
President Barack Obama said Sunday that he respected a Florida jury's decision to acquit George Zimmerman in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin, but called on the nation to reflect on gun violence.
The president said in a written statement that Martin's death was a "tragedy. Not just for his family, or any one community, but for America."
"I know this case has elicited strong passions," he said. "And in the wake of the verdict, I know those passions may be running even higher. But we are a nation of laws, and a jury has spoken."
On Sunday he said: "We should ask ourselves if we're doing all we can to stem the tide of gun violence that claims too many lives across this country on a daily basis. We should ask ourselves, as individuals and as a society, how we can prevent future tragedies like this. As citizens, that's a job for all of us. That's a way to honor Trayvon Martin."

I think though, that in wake of the Sandy Hook killings that perhaps they could tone down their gun and ammunition sale they are having now, especially at the location that the Sandy Hook shooter tried to buy a rifle at just three days before the killings. The store, in Danbury, CT is selling ammunition for as low as 5 cents each and is also having a huge sale on all kinds of shotguns and rifles. Way too soon Dick's.

Cleveland Cavaliers win 2014 NBA draft lottery
The Cleveland Cavaliers won the 2014 NBA draft lottery on Tuesday night, beating the odds once again to lock up the first overall selection in the NBA draft for the second straight year and for the third time in four years.
The Cavaliers entered Tuesday night with the ninth-best odds of coming away with the No. 1 pick — only 1.7 percent of the 1,001 possible four-ping-pong-ball combinations would have vaulted Cleveland up to the top of the board. But against (nearly) all odds, one of those sequences popped out, moving Cleveland up above the two teams with the highest odds of picking first overall — the Milwaukee Bucks (25 percent) and Philadelphia 76ers (19.9 percent) — and knocking the Orlando Magic out of the top three.
It became clear the Cavs had moved into the top three when the envelope that NBA Deputy Commissioner Mark Tatum opened for the No. 9 pick revealed the logo of the Charlotte Hornets rather than Cleveland's own; the only question was how high they'd risen. The answer came when Tatum revealed the Bucks' logo at pick No. 2, prompting newly hired Cavaliers general manager David Griffin to begin clapping and smiling broadly. Sixers special adviser and lottery representatives Julius Erving could only offer a wry smile and shake both his head and Griffin's hand as Tatum announced the Cavs had moved up to No. 1 yet again, after having won the right to select point guard Kyrie Irving in 2011 and forward Anthony Bennett in 2013.
The Cavaliers are still without a head coach, having fired Mike Brown eight days ago just one year after rehiring him on a five-year deal. A season that began with playoff aspirations tumbled to a 33-49 conclusion, with poor performance (most notably from top pick Bennett), abysmal team defense, on- and off-court chemistry issues, a bizarre (and unsuccessful) cameo by Andrew Bynum and a host of other dysfunctions leading to the firing of general manager Chris Grant and, ultimately, Brown.
There is talent on board, however — top picks Irving and Bennett, top-five choices Dion Waiters and Tristan Thompson, first-round choices Tyler Zeller and Sergey Karasev — and, Griffin hopes, the chance to pull it all together into something substantial with the promise of yet another top-flight talent that could make the Cleveland job a more attractive opportunity for prospective coaching hires.
"I think [winning this lottery is] just a really defining moment for us. We hope it certainly becomes one," Griffin told ESPN's Heather Cox before revealing the lucky bowtie given to him by Nick Gilbert, the son of Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert, who represented the Cavs at their lottery wins in 2011 and 2013. "In the words of Nick Gilbert, what's not to like?"
The million-dollar question, of course, is which prospect the Cavaliers will select now that they've struck gold once again. On that score, as you might expect, Griffin didn't offer much.
"I think what we really need to do is get a better fit for our roster," he said. "We've got an awful lot of talent, and we just need to find the pieces that sort of serve as the conduit to make it all jell for us."
In our BDL draft lottery shopping list, Eric Freeman identified "athletic big man" as a prospective path for Cleveland. Seven-foot Kansas center Joel Embiid, considered by some to be the best overall two-way prospect in the draft, would certainly seem to fit that bill. Then again, with midseason trade acquisition Luol Deng about to hit free agency, it could be awfully tempting for the Cavs to use the top overall pick on either Embiid's fellow JayhawkAndrew Wiggins or Jabari Parker — a Duke Blue Devil, like Irving — to fill the gaping hole they've had at small forward ever since LeBron James left in free agency in the summer of 2010.
The full first-round order is now set:
1. Cleveland Cavaliers
2. Milwaukee Bucks
3. Philadelphia 76ers
4. Orlando Magic
5. Utah Jazz
7. Los Angeles Lakers
9. Charlotte Hornets (via Detroit Pistons)
10. Philadelphia 76ers (via New Orleans Pelicans)

CLAREMONT - Sotheby's Institute of Art and Claremont Graduate University announced a partnership to create a new master's degree in art business.
The announcement, on Jan. 22, establishes the first Master of Arts of its kind to be granted in conjunction with a leading Master of Business Administration program in the U.S., according to the release.
"As the artistic capital of the Western United States and the unrivaled hub of the international entertainment industry, Los Angeles provides a natural setting for a rigorous graduate program focused on the intersection of art and commerce," said David C. Levy, President of Sotheby's Institute of Art in a statement. "This partnership with one of America's most selective graduate institutions will make possible a unique educational opportunity for students pursuing careers in the international art world. The opportunity it affords aspiring art professionals to explore the evolution of the art markets, and to study their foundations, principles and best practices under the direction of a distinguished faculty of practitioners and scholars, is unprecedented and much in demand."
Bernie Jaworski, interim dean of the Drucker School, said in a statement: "We are very fortunate to partner with the Sotheby's Institute of Art. "Sotheby's Institute of Art is the world's leading provider of art business education. By blending the deep substantive art experience and perspective of the institute with our world-class management faculty, we are designing a truly innovative program with hands-on, practical application. At the same time, this program supports the larger Drucker School strategy of focusing on creative industries. Creative industries, such as the arts, require unique managerial and leadership insight to blend creative talent and rigorous business fundamentals."
The three-semester Master of Arts program, according to the release, examines the practices and history of western art and its markets, with additional exploration of the emerging art markets of Asia and Latin America. Scholars, art world professionals and experts teach core classes from Sotheby's Institute of Art and the business faculty of Claremont's Drucker School, according to the release.

Ford Transit Connect EV Battery Maker Azure Dynamics Files for Bankruptcy
Tiffany Kaiser
March 28, 2012 11:19 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
The bankruptcy filing caused a halt in Ford Transit Connect production
While the electric vehicle (EV) industry seems to be moving forward in many ways, it has also experienced some setbacks over the last year. Unfortunately, many of these setbacks involve EV batteries, and now, Ford is in the same boat.
Azure Dynamics, a British Columbia-based EV firm, has filed for bankruptcy in the United States. Azure Dynamics is responsible for installing
the battery electric powertrain in Ford's Transit Connect
Azure Dynamics filed for bankruptcy on Monday, and was forced to lay off 120 employees worldwide. Layoffs occurred in Boston, Michigan, Canada and the United Kingdom.
In addition to layoffs, Azure Dynamics said it will no longer proceed with a planned stock offering because the company just doesn't have the liquidity to move forward with an appeal of a ruling that opposed its planned stock offering.
"We wish to convey to the company's stakeholders our terrible sadness at this outcome," said Azure Dynamics in a statement.
Azure Dynamics received a four-year contract from the Government Services Administration for about $112 million. The contract gave the U.S. military and government agencies the ability to order the
Transit Connect EV
, and Azure said it had about 2,200 orders. In addition, Azure was attracted to Michigan because of the state tax credit, which is over $1.7 million over a seven-year period, and an 11-year local tax abatement approved by the city of Oak Park valued at $55,400.
On Ford's side of the situation, the bankruptcy means having to stop production of the Transit Connect EV, and it's currently unclear if this situation will be temporary or permanent.
So far, Ford has produced 500 EV Ford Transit Connect vehicles since 2010, when it began its partnership with Azure. Despite Azure's recent news of bankruptcy, Ford is standing behind the company.
"Our priority is to ensure that Azure's Transit Connect Electric customers continue to have support throughout their ownership experience," said Wes Sherwood, Ford spokesman.
Azure definitely isn't the only EV battery company (or alternative energy company) to file for bankruptcy within the past year. In January,
EV battery maker Ener1 filed for bankruptcy
after its subsidiary, EnerDel, received a $118 million Department of Energy grant in August 2009. Other EV battery issues that have occurred recently include General Motors' Chevrolet Volt, which experienced a series of battery fires last year, and problems with Fisker Automotive's Karma plug-in hybrid batteries, which will be replaced entirely by A123 Systems Inc. for $55 million.
Other failed alternative energy companies that have filed for bankruptcy include
solar panel company Solyndra
, which received a $535 million loan guarantee from the government despite warnings of Solyndra's viability, and
Beacon Power
, which received nearly $43 million from the government in August 2010 and filed for bankruptcy in November 2011.

Best Of :: Shopping & Services
Luci's Healthy Marketplace admittedly is much more than just a coffee shop, but it seems as though every cafe is nowadays. Part upscale grocer, part restaurant, part cafe, Luci's offers a lot of scrumptious options for the NoPho crowd. The coffee bar features freshly baked treats from one of our favorite local bakeries, Urban Cookies, giving everyone even more opportunity to try the award-winning sweets. The staff is friendly, the service is quick, and the décor is the perfect mix of nostalgic retro and modern that you'd look for in a local market. The selection of teas and juices also makes Luci's a great place to bring a crowd of not-so-caffeine-obsessed friends. The cafe even offers gluten-free options for the no-wheat eaters in your life and Sunday night cooking classes for the culinarily curious.
One of the Valley's best-kept secrets, the Roastery of Cave Creek was started by Dave Anderson as a small operation that roasted estate-grown organic coffee for some of the best local restaurants. Chances are you've sipped this expertly roasted coffee once or twice without even knowing it. If you have had a cup of joe with your breakfast or brunch at Matt's Big Breakfast, Bertha's Café, or Vovomeena, you have tasted the divine elixir that results from these exceptional coffee beans. There are several single varietals and blends available from ROC2, but they all have in common a great sense of balance, full-bodied flavor, and rich smoothness. These beans can be purchased directly at the roastery or by e-mailing firstname.lastname@example.com. The blend made especially for Bertha's Café can be purchased at the restaurant.
There's something so addictingly romantic about sipping a shot of espresso, cleansing your palate with the accompanying sparkling water, and pondering life's great mysteries while sitting in the open, airy Giant Coffee lounge in Central Phoenix. For local espresso lovers, Giant's Four Barrel Friendo Blendo espresso is a high point in a town of many great coffee joints. Two dollars gets you your shot and the side shot of sparking water, which is an unbeatably cheap pick-me-up. The thick, almost syrup-like consistency of the espresso paired with its tart fruit notes somehow make the perfect companion to Giant's flaky, savory quiche, which has been known to contain bacon, goat cheese, and pecans on certain days. That combo is sure to get you moving, maybe right across the street to the Phoenix Art Museum — now, doesn't that sound like a lovely day?
When Central Phoenix locals want to show off their neighborhood know-how to out-of-town guests, chances are they take them to Lux Central. Stationed in a nondescript building, this hipster hotspot houses a lively interior of mismatched mid-century furniture, typewriter centerpieces, grandma-chic dishware, and a seemingly endless maze of rooms in which to work, study, and socialize. Open from the wee hours and back again, Lux triples as a coffee shop, bar, and restaurant, serving up mason jars of iced lattes, as-you-like-it cocktails, and an ever-changing made-to-order menu. With so much action happening in one place, it's no wonder Lux draws such an around-the-clock assortment of people. From posh professionals and caffeinated study groups to late-night socialites and (don't say we didn't warn you) a fair share of awfully loud religious zealots, Lux Central is a miscellaneous mecca.
Shine started off as a retro trailer coffee shop that cropped up at different farmers markets and events in downtown Phoenix. Since then, it's expanded to include a permanent coffee stand just south of Thomas Road off of Central Avenue. Though the small outdoor shack still serves up some of the best pastries in town, like raspberry peach handpies and orange blossom shortbread, the best part is Shine's brand-new "Living Room" lounge in the neighboring building. It may seem intimidating to walk into a separate building with your wickedly delicious vanilla bean latte in tow, but once inside, you'll find a space that looks like a living room anyone would be happy to call their own, with lovely vintage furniture, great local art and mellow, ambient music — the perfect environment for reading a book or getting a boatload of work done. Plus, unlike most living rooms, there's no TV to distract you.
Pomegranate Café is as much about fresh juices, teas, and gluten-free, organic, local and vegan cuisine as it is about the coffee — maybe more so. But that suits us just fine when we're in South Phoenix, because it's nice to have a cafe to go to when we want a caffeine rush with a side of über-healthy. The kombucha and cleansing juices are definitely a more chakra-friendly option to your classic coffee drinks, but the espresso drinks are nothing to sneer at, either. If you get hungry after your soy latte, the simple, wholesome menu includes vegan burgers, raw tacos, kale salads, gluten-free bowls, and some great granola. Picky eaters with a laundry list of diet restrictions are always welcome at Pomegranate Café, which is good 'cause it's hard to find many other places in the Valley to take them while still satisfying our caffeine needs.

PC sales are slumping, thanks in large part to the ascendancy of Android (and iOS) devices, so why not jump on both bandwagons and create a device that runs Android and Windows at the same time?
That seems to be the bright idea behind a number of devices set to be demoed at the Consumer Electronics Show this week in Las Vegas, with multiple PC manufacturers getting on board with the idea and using the label "PC Plus" to describe the resulting machines.
Too bad the idea doesn't seem to be generating more than perplexity and indifference -- particularly from Google and Microsoft.
The implementation of the core idea is still very much under wraps, and it may vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. AndroidHeadlines.com reports that Asus's yet-to-be-released Transformer Book Duet TD300 appears to be one incarnation of the concept. Apparently Asus mistakenly leaked a video on YouTube -- and quickly took it down again -- that shows the TD300 switching between Windows and Android in the space of about eight seconds when the unit is docked. (My guess: It sounds like the switch involves hibernating Windows, then booting to Android from a separate disk or partition.)
The Verge did some homework on the concept and believes Intel is the one most directly responsible for the whole idea -- which makes sense, since Intel hardware can run both OSes. But it also appears that "neither Microsoft nor Google is on board," as the Verge puts it. Microsoft would rather have Windows users buying Windows Phone devices (and eventually the Threshold edition of Windows), and could kill any bulk-licensing incentives to the PC makers behind dual-boot devices.
Google could also elect to withdraw support for such devices. It might be possible to get around Google's restrictions by using a nonstandard build of Android -- such as CyanogenMod -- but any device maker that risked the combined ire of two of tech's biggest names would likely be on the losing end.
Some of this is only the newest incarnation of an idea that's been floating around in one form or another for quite some time and in multiple incarnations. To wit:
- Samsung's Ativ Q tablet (released earlier in 2013), which ran both Windows 8 and Android Jelly Bean. Users toggled between both OSes by simply tapping a button.
- The ViewSonic ViewPad 10Pro and ViewPad 10 (both released in 2011), which also allowed toggling between Windows 7 and Android without a reboot.
- The Asus Transformer Book Trio (June 2013) offered, as the name implies, a triple play: a notebook PC, tablet PC, and Android tablet in a single package.
- The BlueStacks software app lets users run Android directly on Windows (as well as iOS apps on Android). It's a slightly more elegant version of another approach used by enthusiasts: downloading a custom build of Android and running it on a PC in a VM.

Ramble Plan Two: Mississippi MeanderFriday, September 29th, 2006
Weather: Rumors of Rain
Scarlet relaxes on one of the twisty bits of pavement down along the river.
The photo above was taken a few days ago, when the sun was out and the roads were dry. Scarlet and I rode to work in the rain yesterday, and Frogwing and I left a half hour early this morning in order to miss the showers that are tracking this way on radar. I've never known Autumn to bring so much precipitation before. I suppose we are making up for our dry Summer.
Ramble Plan Two takes in much of my original route to work, which I adhered to through most of last Winter. But instead of staying on the main parkways, we spend some time exploring many of the little roads which lead to parkland along the riverbanks. The Twin Cities are really doing a good job of preserving public land along the Mississippi.
Scarlet and I stopped several times along the way. While she leaned casually on her sidestand, I enjoyed river views from several different perspectives. There were park benches situated high above the river on the bluffs, and picnic grounds right down by the water's edge. It was a peaceful, contemplative journey, and for once I arrived home with a restful heart.
There were a couple of these little access roads which tempted me to play speed racer, but the sightlines weren't there for successful apex-strafing. Cages constantly come and go along these roads, and most of the drivers are not focused on driving. The scenery is too distracting.
So we behaved ourselves, that afternoon. But I am thinking we may have to come back and visit very early some Sunday morning…
Yes, Ramble Plan Two is a keeper, for those days when work has been extra-stressful, and I don't feel much like talking to other folks. I'll just sit down by the riverside and let the current wash my cares away.
By the time I walk through my front door at home, I'll be a Happy Daddy again.

WATCH: The Wanted parody classic boy band videos for 'Walks Like Rihanna'
Listen to The Wanted on iHeartRadio
The Wanted is playing up its boy band image. The group's new music video for "Walks Like Rihanna" is a tongue-in-cheek parody of some well-known 90s moments. Max, Jay, Nathan, Tom and Siva impeccably recreate classic boy band music videos - right down to the shoes on their feet.
In one scene, the group's members are strung up like marionette puppets in a theater, much like *NSync's 2000 video for "Bye Bye Bye." The boys duplicate the exact outfits worn by the former boy band in the original video, with Tom in the center playing J.C. Chasez in a silver denim suit.
In another scene, the Wanted takes on the Backstreet Boys' "I Want It That Way." Max plays the role of A.J. McLean, donning a white tank and fedora, and the group even copies the video's original dance moves.

A Helotes woman the feds say had dreams of becoming the suburb's version of Walter White is now facing the prospect of life in prison after she was convicted in a crystal meth smuggling operation, 1200 WOAI news reports.
A jury in Del Rio convicted Marin Landin, 46, of conspiracy to import a controlled substance. She'll be sentenced in May and faces a minimum of ten years and up to life.
Federal prosecutors say Landin hired two men to act as drug mules, telling them to travel to Piedras Negras Mexico and pick up nearly a thousand grams of pure crystal meth. They say Landin had fantasies of being a big time dope dealer, and selling the meth out of her Helotes home.
But the drug mules Landin hired turned out to be directionally challenged, and had to call Landin for help after they got lost in Mexico.
Landin gave the two men directions on how to get back to the United States, and then things continued to go south, when the drug mules were arrested at the International Bridge in Del Rio with $100,000 worth of meth taped to their bodies, "Midnight Express" style.
The two drug mules have pleased guilty.

Eye muscle repairRepair of cross-eye; Resection and recession; Strabismus repair; Extraocular muscle surgery
Eye muscle repair is surgery to correct eye muscle problems that cause crossed (misaligned) eyes. The medical term for crossed eyes is strabismus.
The goal of this surgery is to allow the eye muscles to be in proper position and help the eyes move correctly.
Eye muscle surgery is usually done on children, but adults who have similar eye problems may also have it done. Children will usually receive general anesthesia for the procedure. They will be asleep and will not feel pain.
Depending on the problem, one or both eyes may have surgery.
After the anesthesia has taken effect, the eye surgeon makes a small surgical cut in the clear tissue covering the white of the eye. This tissue is called the conjunctiva. Then the surgeon will locate one or more of the eye muscles that needs surgery. Sometimes the surgery strengthens the muscle, and sometimes it weakens it.
- To strengthen a muscle, a section of the muscle or tendon may be removed to make it shorter. This step in the surgery is called a resection.
- To weaken a muscle, it is reattached at a point farther toward the back of the eye. This step is called a recession.
The surgery for adults is similar. Most adults are usually awake and sleepy, but pain free. Numbing medicine injected around the eye blocks the pain.
Often in adult surgery, an adjustable suture is used on the weakened muscle. Minor corrections can be made later that day or the next day, when the patient is fully awake. This technique usually has a very good outcome.
Why the Procedure Is Performed
Strabismus is a disorder in which the two eyes do not line up in the same direction and therefore do not look at the same object at the same time. The condition is more commonly known as "crossed eyes."
Surgery may be recommended when strabismus does not improve with glasses or eye exercises.
Risks for any anesthesia are:
- Reactions to anesthesia medicines
- Breathing problems
Risks for any surgery are:
- Bleeding
- Infection
Some other possible complications are:
- Wound infections
- Damage to the eye (rare)
- Permanent double vision (rare)
Before the Procedure
Your child's eye surgeon may ask for:
- A complete medical history and physical exam of your child before the procedure
- Orthoptic measurements (eye movement measurements)
Always tell your child's doctor or nurse:
- What drugs your child is taking
- Include any drugs, herbs, or vitamins you bought without a prescription
- About any allergies your child may have to any medicines, latex, tape, or soaps or skin cleaners
During the days before the surgery:
- About 10 days before the surgery, you may be asked to stop giving your child aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), warfarin (Coumadin), and any other drugs that make it hard for blood to clot.
- Ask your child's doctor which drugs your child should still take on the day of the surgery.
On the day of the surgery:
- Your child will usually be asked not to drink or eat anything for several hours before the surgery.
- Give your child any drugs your doctor told you to give your child with a small sip of water.
- Your child's doctor or nurse will tell you when to arrive for the surgery.
- The doctor will make sure your child is healthy enough for surgery and does not have any signs of illness. If your child is ill, the surgery may be delayed.
After the Procedure
This surgery is usually done on an outpatient basis. The eyes are usually straight right after surgery.
While recovering from the anesthesia and in the first few days after surgery, your child should avoid rubbing the eyes. Your surgeon will show you how to prevent rubbing.
After a few hours of recovery, the child may go home. You should have a follow-up appointment with the eye surgeon 1 to 2 weeks after the surgery.
You will probably need to put drops or ointment in the child's eyes to prevent infection.
Outlook (Prognosis)
Eye muscle surgery does not fix the poor vision of a lazy (amblyopic) eye. The child may have to wear glasses or a patch.
In general, the younger a child is when the operation is performed, the better the result. Your child's eye should look normal a few weeks after the surgery.

LOS ANGELES (CNS) - A former Los Angeles police sergeant who said he was forced to quit his job after being retaliated against for corroborating a colleague's accusations of racism by a supervisor was today awarded nearly $2.9 million.
A Los Angeles Superior Court jury deliberated for part of Wednesday afternoon and this morning before finding in favor of former Newton Division Sgt. Pedro Torres in his constructive termination and retaliation lawsuit against the city.
Deputy City Attorney Daniel Aguilera declined to comment on the verdict.
Torres said he had to leave his job after 15 years in 2011 because the stress from the retaliation caused panic attacks and other health problems so severe he could no longer continue with the department.
"This was the end of his career, a career, I might add, that he loved," his attorney, Gregory W. Smith, told jurors Wednesday during final arguments.
Torres' other lawyer, Boros Koron, said today his client had to wait more than three years for his case to get to trial because it went before several different judges. One of the bench officers, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Frederick Shaller, voluntarily removed himself because his son is an attorney for the city of Los Angeles.
Judge James Dunn ultimately presided over the trial, and Torres "finally got his day in court," Koron said.
Torres, a divorced father of two daughters, is prevented under the terms of his disability retirement from working in law enforcement again or from carrying a firearm, Koron said.
In 2008, Torres gave deposition and trial testimony supporting LAPD Officer Robert Hill's allegations against Hill's supervisor, Newton Division Sgt. Gilbert Curtis, Smith said.
Hill, who is white, claimed he was transferred to another station and given an inferior work assignment because he told supervisors in 2004 that Curtis made racist statements about blacks and Latinos. A Los Angeles Superior Court jury awarded Hill $3.12 million.
Smith maintained that in retaliation, LAPD management denied Torres a promotion to detective and suspended him for five days for allegedly using excessive force to save a kidnapping victim.
In the abduction incident, Torres shot out the tires of a van in which a woman was being held against her will by two men, Smith said. After initially touting Torres' actions as heroic in a news release describing the incident, the LAPD later punished him with the suspension, saying he violated department policy against firing a weapon at a moving vehicle, Smith said.
Torres took the action to save the woman's life, Smith said.
Deputy City Attorney Richard Loomis, who along with Aguilera handled the city's defense during trial, downplayed the discipline, saying the number of days Torres was suspended was minimal. He also said officers cannot justify actions simply by stating that the results were good.

Who's Going
San Francisco, California
London, United Kingdom
Florence, Italy
Event Details
Trainwreck Cabaret captures the charm of off-color entertainment from the 1950s, with the sarcastic modern twist that could only come out of San Francisco. You'll enjoy comedy, music, burlesque, and sword swallowing! For your entertainment, we've captured the best local talent from many different genres and put them together for a show you'll never forget.
Eloisa Bravo (Hosting) Crazy comedy is her thing! Eloisa is a spicy Venezuelan that addresses the urban issues of a single woman. Packed with energy and cuteness she will make you laugh, assuming you are lucky enough to understand her accent. She was a semifinalist of Rooster T. Feathers comedy competition (2011) and has performed at the Purple Onion, Rooster T. Feathers, the Palm Beach Improv, the Miami Improv and the Hollywood Improv.
Francine Dead (Burlesque Dancer) Francine is the product of Vaudeville, Worker Bee's, and the American Dream. Inspired by classic Hollywood glamour, this Femme fatal intends to ignite you with delight! Brash and passionate Francine has an insatiable thirst for love, beauty and the unknown. This Fire eating, Burlesque performer may appear to have an icy exterior...but watch her work the stage and it is apparent she smolders within. You can see Francine Dead perform from one end of the bay to the other. Weither it be burlesque at RedHots or Fire for Hoodslam, this is an act not to be missed.
Hernan Cortez (Sword Swallower) Wow!!! Is the only way to describe this amazing performer. Hernan has more than 20 years amusing children and adults alike with his extraordinary act. He goes beyond what a human body can do and he will show you the magic of the circus brought to the stage! This Daredevil preforms all over the Bay Area and he is definitely a treat to the eyes and the mind!
Sheba Queen of the Night (Burlesque Dancer) Born in a sea of mermaids in New York city but began shakin' it on a stage in Oakland, CA. Sheba, originally from the SF Bay Area, currently residing in Los Angeles, CA but no matter where she is her home is where her art is. Her pasties travel at times, she has performed in Reno, NV, Sacramento, CA, Sebastapool, CA, Long Beach, CA and throughout the greater Los Angeles and SF Bay area. She is inspired by and adores drag queens and drag kings, vaudeville sideshow and is memorized by classic burlesque and old hollywood glamour. Her performance art dazzles and delights with sex-positive kinky themes and her fierce feminist views. You may see her wrapped in furs and sequins or strapped in lace and leather, depending on her mood. She exudes sensuality with every step...luring...conjuring...and will have you purring for more.
Sydney Sin (Blues Singer) Raised in the Bay Area and resurrected from Hell, Sidney Sin sold her soul to entertain. With the voice of an angel and the mind of a sexual deviant, this sultry banshee takes burlesque and stitches it together with wit and revenge. Ms. Sin debuted at Tourettes Without Regrets and can be seen at several local shows, including Seduction Fèroce.
Brian Fields (Storyteller) Dr. Fields (yes, this guy has a PHD) funny, outrageous, and shocking comedy has made him stand out in the San Francisco Comedy scene. He is considered to be the new Lenny Bruce (at least one person said so). He was a Battle of the Bay finalist (2010) and has performed at the Purple Onion, Rooster T. Feathers, and the San Jose Improv.
Pippi Lovestocking (Drag Queen Comedienne) Pippi Lovestocking is the drag personae of actor Scot Free of San Francisco.Originally from a small town in North Carolina just outside of Raleigh, Scot was never the type of kid to hide his light under a bushel. An aspect of his personality that was not embraced by the conservative southern baptist citizenry of his hometown. "I was raised within the church but still turned out gay, must've been all the snake handling" quips Scot when asked about his sexuality.

The Dark Room Theater FAQ
Can I Bring In Booze?
Nope! The Dark Room Theater is an all ages venue that could be shut down if the wrong people happened to see booze inside!
Aw... But Really?
Yes... Really and for realsies.
Where Are The Restrooms?
The restrooms are located past the stage, down the hall, red doors on the left.
So, Can I Use Them During The Show?
During the majority of performances at The Dark Room Theater we ask that unless it is an emergency you use the restroom before the show begins or after it has ended. Shows almost never run longer than one hour.
The Show I REALLY Wanted To See Sold Out Online! Help What Do I Do?
Shows at The Dark Room Theater have limited seating with a slightly restricted view available at the door, once doors open. Doors tend to open 30 minutes before the show's starting time. No tickets will be sold at the door before the doors open.
What If I Call/Email/Knock On The Door/Offer A Vial Of Blood AND/OR Unborn Child?
Still the same deal as above... Please don't do the last one.
I Keep Calling The Night Of A Show Because I Have Questions, Why Won't Anyone Pick Up?
Due to how frantic things can get as we gear up for our shows we turn the ringers off generally around an hour before a night of shows begins. Also, we don't like it when shows get interrupted by phones ringing. This means that if we have shows running until 12am, the phones are off until then. You can always send in an email, which has a far better chance of being noticed.

HICKORY, NC -- Breakroom Provisions has added new tools and features to its DASH micromarket management interface to enhance controls and facilitate the process for operators.
The company's DASH interface features management tools and reports that allow operators to monitor key business metrics in real time from remote locations using tablets, mobile devices or PCs.
New to the DASH interface is the Anti-Theft Widget, which allows operators to monitor suspicious customer activity remotely.
Also new is the DASH Dynamic Promotion feature, which offers vendors a user-friendly solution for creating and implementing promotions and rewards programs.
Additionally, Breakroom Provisions now offers an iPod Touch handheld, which enables operators to manage day-to-day processes using a technology platform with which many of them are familiar. As a PCI-PA-DSS certified solution, the system ensures that all transactions and data are secure.
Breakroom Provisions' self-checkout system is capable of integrating full-scale manual foodservice and retail points of sale. It offers fully customized micromarket packages, as well as other turnkey solutions.
In addition to providing operators with the hardware, software and retail equipment necessary to integrate micromarkets into their operations, Breakroom Provisions provides consulting services and operational support to help ensure a smooth transition.
"Three years ago, we were working with operators, trying to break the mold of the traditional vending program," said Breakroom Provisions president Kevin Bailey. "Now, we have operators who are challenging the existing micromarket service model by creating customized, fully integrated self-checkout solutions for vending, foodservice and retail locations. It's really exciting to be on the cutting edge of this kind of evolution in the vending industry."
Bailey said the company is on track to install 120 to 150 new micromarkets in 2013.

Nothing gets Dr. Morris more excited than educating soon-to-be parents and growing families on how to make smart, healthy and safer choices. We all hear the words "green", "organic" and "natural" a lot these days but what does it all really mean? You shouldn't have to be a chemist to provide a healthy, safe and natural environment for your family to grow and prosper… you just need a bit of information to help you get started. Most people don't think twice about the everyday products they use to clean their homes, to wash and moisturize their skin and to keep their children healthy and safe. The truth is that many common household and personal care products contain questionable ingredients and substances that can easily be avoided. By taking the time to learn and understand the options that are available to parents, we arm ourselves with information to make smarter choices that benefit people, pets and the planet! What you need to know: Childhood asthma has nearly doubled in the last 20 years (American Lung Assoc.)... And Some Cleaners May Be Triggers To Asthma Attacks. Within 26 seconds after exposure to chemicals such as cleaning products, traces of these chemicals can be found in every organ in the body. When combined, chemicals are even more dangerous. Deadly fumes result from mixing ammonia with bleach (both found in many household products) creating lethal "mustard gas" - U.S. Government, E.P.A. According to the EPA, indoor air pollution is one of the nation's most pressing personal health concerns. Peak concentrations of 20 toxic compounds - some linked with cancer and birth defects - were 200 to 500 times higher inside some homes than outdoors, according to a 5-year EPA study that surveyed 600 homes in six cities. More than 7 million accidental poisonings occur each year, with more than 75% involving children under age 6! - The Columbia University College of Physicians & Surgeons According to the U.S. Poison Control Centers, "A child is accidentally poisoned every 30 seconds at home..." According to the National Research Council, no toxic information is available for more than 80% of the chemicals in everyday-use products. Only 1% of toxins are required to be listed on labels, because companies classify their formulas as "trade secrets." - Lorie Dwornick, researcher, educator and activist, 2002. Women who work at home have a 54% higher death rate from cancer than those who work away from home. The 15-year study concluded it was as a direct result of the much higher exposure rate to toxic chemicals in common household products! - Toronto Indoor Air Conference 1990. Of chemicals commonly found in homes, 150 have been linked to allergies, birth defects, cancer, and psychological abnormalities. - Consumer Product Safety Commission. Why BabyGanics? For years, BabyGanics has been the trusted brand of parents worldwide, providing a set of solutions specifically created for the growing family. While each of us should be constantly striving to seek out ways to improve our lives, the birth of a child gives us a great reason to go that extra mile to ensure their health and safety every step of the way. For BabyGanics, being safe starts at conception, there is no better time to evaluate the products throughout your home. At BabyGanics they work hard so you can play safe! Whether it's cleaning products without that harmful stuff or extra gentle skin care for the tenderest of spots on your little ones, BabyGanics is constantly finding ways to provide healthier, safer and more sustainable solutions. By the way, did Babyganics forget to mention affordable? BabyGanics understands that you are using more products than ever to keep up with your growing family. That's why BabyGanics keeps a focus on affordability and making the switch to BabyGanics a no brainer! What healthy, safe and sustainable means to BabyGanics: Safe – Free from harm, injury or risk. Natural – Products sourced from nature, i.e. plant based sources. Sustainable – Materials that are readily biodegradable, provide for long term well being and are responsibly derived from natural resources. Renewable resources – Ingredients that are replaced by nature at a rate faster than consumed. Healthy lifestyle – Making choices that benefit health and well being while avoiding risk and potentially harmful materials. Gentle – Neutral and safe formulations that are safe to touch, breathe and handle. Value – Affordability of premium products at everyday prices. Non toxic – Products that have low or no toxicity when used liberally and as directed.
