What is vinyl and is it safe for the environment?

What is Vinyl?

Vinyl wall decals are not a natural substance but are a synthetic man-made material. It is a type of plastic that is made from ethylene (found in crude oil) and chlorine (found in regular salt). When processed, both the substances are combined to form Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) resin, or as is commonly referred to - Vinyl. Vinyl was first invented in 1920 by scientists who wanted to develop a material that would help to manufacture everyday products that were easier to make and more durable than what was available. Today, Vinyl has become the second largest manufactured and sold plastic resin in the entire world. Vinyl is a plastic material, which unlike other plastics, can easily be recycled. Because of the durability of vinyl, our wall decals have a long life span. Add to this the fact that the vinyl can then be recycled, translates into an even longer life of the vinyl plastic resin.

How eco-friendly are wall decals?

Vinyl is a very environment friendly material, not only because it can be recycled, but also for many other reasons. Vinyl helps in the preservation of environmental resources as 57% of vinyl is made from common salt, which is a renewable natural substance. Non-replenish able resources such as crude oil only account for 43% of vinyl resin, thus making it nature friendly. In comparison to various other materials used by the home decor industry, vinyl requires lesser amounts of natural resources to make, utilizes much lesser energy for manufacture, and also releases lower emissions into the environment. Thus vinyl wall decals, a synthetic manmade material, have truly revolutionized the entire home decor and wall art industry.

This computer is WELL worth ATLEAST 700 bucks still today

Is is possible that Apple got too cute for their new iMac 27" for Feb 2011 release? I think so. By alienated themselves even further from the rest of us so-called converters from PC's, Apple has managed to make it even harder to connect to their new iMac 27" by adding the new thunderbolt port in lieu of their old mini display port...which by the way, practically nothing connects to!

If you are looking for a complete conversion to Mac only and will never have to connect anything to it such as a playstation, Wii, XBOX360 or any other PC (unless they have a thunderbolt connection, LOL) then forget this and opt for an older model.

Don't get me wrong, the performance is lighting fast, the beautiful LED screen is amazing and the software bundle it comes with is impressive, but for the money I'd have to say that Dell, Lenovo and HP have it all over the iMac 27 2011.

If they offer a new model in 2012, I'd like to see them regress and add some additional connections like HDMI to make it easier for the rest of the world to connect to it.

TaylorMade Burner Plus Iron set Golf Club

Everyone seems to say Taylormade makes the best drivers. I think it's all about whether you have a good swing to come with your game. I own a burner and is also forgiving. The Speedline Fast 10 is also forgiving but it gives me more distance. So far I added 15-20 yds to my drive.

Apple is the way 2 go! Nice computer

first mac I've ever owned. This thing is a little monster!! runs apps no problem i do a lot of penny stocks. i like to check up on charts and statistic on companies i am investing on and i like to look at them all at once, i have about 6 displays in my home office to view them. My pc couldn't withstand the pressure of having all these browsers opened but the mac mini with the small amount of ram it has display no lack of performance. each browser i have up runs smooth with no hick ups or delays. best little machine for the price!!

I am 8 hcp index, swing a driver about 92 mph

Formerly used the Aldila NV65 regular flex shaft with Cleveland Comp Launcher, which was very accurate driver for me. I tried the Speedline Driver with the VooDoo reg flex shaft; it was way too stiff for my slow swing. So I went to the Fast Ten after a buddy said it was a very popular driver amongst better players at his club. Got it with regular flex WASABI shaft. It fits my swing much better than the VooDoo because it's not as stiff. This club is just as accurate as my Aldila NV65 but I do hit it quite a bit farther...I'd say about 10-20 yards farther on average drive. Partly this is because I hit this one a a little higher than the Aldila, so I am getting more carry. The feel of this club is great; even off center hits are pretty decent drives. I hit a fade most of the time and didn't have any problems controlling my fade with the WASABI shaft. Loft is 10.5 degrees. I can keep it low or I can hit it high. Sound is OK. Look is OK, with a lot of scientific mumbo jumbo on the sole which is worth a laugh. Overall I am delighted with the improvement that the Wasabi/Fast 10 combination has delivered, and I highly recommend this configuration for any golfer who is a straight hitter looking for more distance w/o sacrificing control.

Adams A7OS Irons

After playing/trying every make out there, I have found Adams game improvement irons to be the best. They are very forgiving but will also reward a good swing appropriately. If you are a hybrid fan like me, you'll especially appreciate hybrids for the 3-5 and semi-hybrids for the 6 and 7. They work well from any type of lie, bare to fluffy. Get the graphite shafts for the full benefit of the design. While you are at it, pick up a sand wedge as well - it makes sand shots too easy!

Callaway Big Bertha Diablo Fairway Wood Golf Club

Got The 3 Callaway Big Bertha Diablo Fairway Wood Golf Club
Stiff! Excellent club and great service from seller!! Would recommend it to anyone interested in getting a club online. Very responsible seller. Cant wait untill spring to start hitting it down the fairway. Diablo series has worked awesome for me and have improved my accuracy and distance. The fairway wood is a little less tall than my previous three wood but this makes it easier to hit the sweet spot when not using it from a tee. Cant beat this price I strongly encourage you to try this
