Organic soymilk is made with whole organic soybeans and meets the USDA certification standards. Non-organic soymilk can be made with organic or non-organic soybeans but contains other non-organic ingredients that do not allow it to achieve the percentage of organic ingredients dictated by the USDA. Some natural flavors are made with non-organic ingredients, rendering the soymilk non-organic.

It has become very popular in aromatherapy to use only organic oils. In our experience, organic may not necessarily mean better. When oils are steam distilled, offensive or harmful pesticides are left behind. The pesticide reside is too big to pass through the distillation process. The only way pesticides could get through is if plants were newly sprayed at harvest time. The likelihood of this is slim. See similar questions...

Non-organic essential oils come from plants that may have been grown with chemical fertilizers and sprayed with herbicides, insecticides and fungicides. In addition, non-sustainable farming practices may have been used – in other words practices that do not protect the soil, water and animal life. See similar questions...

Original TTM 52 and TTM 54 models were built with metal toggle switches (ST 1) and a painted steel Decor plate (the one the faders stick through). When we revamped the design, we spread the controls apart slightly and added a Lexan covered Decor plate, as well as changed to larger plastic "bat handle" toggle switches (ST 2). Neither the Decor plate nor switches can be swapped between versions. Functionally and electronically the two versions are identical. See similar questions...

Organic agriculture is based upon a systematic approach and standards that can be verified and are recognized internationally. Natural foods, on the other hand, have no legal definition or recognition, and are not based on a systematic approach. While natural products may generally be minimally processed, there are no requirements to provide proof, leaving open the possibility for fraud and misuse of the term. See similar questions...

IPM, or Integrated Pest Management, differs from organic production in three ways. First, IPM only addresses pest control and not fertility. Second, IPM focuses on reducing chemical sprays, but has no compunction about using them when indicators point to a need. Third, IPM allows for the use of any synthetic pesticide as a last resort measure, rather than restricting to natural and least toxic National standards for organic foods proposed.

You should tell your breeder if you are looking for a conformation show puppy or a companion/pet puppy. Most good breeders consider ALL of their puppies to be companion puppies, and Border Terrier people will tell you that Borders can do it all-obedience, agility, earthdog, tracking, flyball, therapy dog, etc.. A conformation show puppy is one whose physical characteristics and temperament meet or exceed the requirements of the breed standard. See similar questions...

The earlier units only had 1/4" inputs and outputs. Inputs are fully balanced, outputs are single-ended (some say "quasi-balanced") auto balancee/unbalanced. Ability to drive longer cables is less and high frequency rolloff can be a concern due to cable capacitance. Around 1994 we updated the design and changed to the "B" designation. These units have fully balanced inputs and outputs, both XLR and 1/4" TRS connections being utilized. Functionally the units are virtually identical. See similar questions...
