Q. Is Zivast used for lowering cholesterol?
Zivast belongs to a group of medicines known as statins, which are lipid (fat) lowering medicines. Zivast is used to lower lipids known as cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood when low-fat diet and lifestyle changes fail to lower the levels of cholesterol and triglycerides. If you are at an increased risk of heart disease, Zivast can also be used to reduce such risk even if your cholesterol levels are normal. You should maintain a standard cholesterol-lowering diet during treatment.
Q. Can Zivast be prescribed to children?
Zivast is for adults and children aged 10 years or more whose cholesterol does not come down enough with exercise and low-fat diet. It is not approved for use in patients younger than 10 years old.
Q. Is Zivast a blood thinner?
No, Zivast is not a blood thinner. It is a cholesterol-lowering medicine. It works by slowing down the production of cholesterol in the body to decrease. This further decreases the amount of cholesterol that may build up on the walls of the arteries and block blood flow to the heart, brain, and other parts of the body. By lowering the levels of cholesterol and triglycerides it prevents the chances of stroke and heart attack.
Q. What should I know about high cholesterol?
Cholesterol is a type of fat present in your blood. Total cholesterol is determined by the total amount of LDL and HDL cholesterol in the body. LDL cholesterol is called "bad" cholesterol. Bad cholesterol can build up in the wall of your blood vessels and slow or obstruct blood flow to your heart, brain, and other organs. This can cause heart diseases and stroke. HDL cholesterol is called "good" cholesterol as it prevents the bad cholesterol from building up in the blood vessels. Triglycerides also are harmful fats found in your blood.
Q. Will taking Zivast increase my risk of diabetes?
If you are at high risk of developing type 2 diabetes, taking Zivast may increase this risk slightly. This is because Zivast can raise your blood sugar a little. If you already have type 2 diabetes, your doctor may advise monitoring your blood sugar levels more closely for the first few months. Tell your doctor if you find it harder to control your blood sugar.
Q. For how long do I need to take Zivast? Is it safe for long-term use?
You may need to take Zivast life long or for the duration prescribed by your doctor. The benefits will only continue for as long as you take it. If you stop taking Zivast without starting a different treatment, your cholesterol level may rise again. It is considered to be safe and has few side effects if taken as directed by the doctor.
Q. Does Zivast cause weight loss?
No, Zivast has not been reported to cause weight loss. However, weight gain has been reported as an uncommon side effect. Please consult your doctor if you experience weight loss while taking Zivast.
Q. Can I stop taking Zivast?
No, you should not stop taking Zivast without consulting your doctor. You should consult your doctor if you think that taking Zivast is causing side effects. Your doctor may accordingly decide to lower your dose or change your medicine.
Q. Does Zivast cause memory loss?
No, Zivast does not cause loss of memory. However, it is an uncommon side effect of Zivast, and may affect only 1 in 100 people. Please consult your doctor if you experience any symptoms of memory loss after taking Zivast.
Q. When should I take Zivast?
Zivast is generally taken once a day. It can be taken in the morning or night or at any time of the day, with or without food. Try taking this medicine at the same time every day to help remember when to take it.
Q. What does Zivast do to the body?
Zivast acts on the liver and stops it from making bad cholesterol. It not only lowers the levels of LDL-C (bad cholesterol) and triglycerides but also helps to raise your HDL-C (good cholesterol). This in turn, lowers the risk for heart attack, stroke, certain types of heart surgery, and chest pain in patients who have heart disease or diabetes.
Q. What are the most common side effects of Zivast?
The common side effects of Zivast include nausea, indigestion, constipation, flatulence, diarrhea, headache, and aches and pains in your back and joints. It may also cause nosebleeds, sore throat, and cold-like symptoms, such as a runny nose, blocked nose or sneezing.

Santa Clara Family Health Plan selects Trizetto for Integrated Solutions and Services that Enable Rapid Launch of Duals Demonstration Project
Media Coverage
Santa Clara Family Health Plan selects Trizetto for Integrated Solutions and Services that Enable Rapid Launch of Duals Demonstration Project
Denver, Colo. – October 9, 2014 – TriZetto announced today that it was selected by Santa Clara Family Health Plan (SCFHP) to provide integrated administrative solutions and services that will support SCFHP's participation in a duals demonstration project involving the state of California, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and several state counties and health plans.
The three-year project, Cal MediConnect, aims to improve care and control costs for beneficiaries eligible for both Medicare and California's Medi-Cal program. Dual-eligible beneficiaries account for an inordinate share of healthcare costs because they often live with complex and costly medical conditions.
TriZetto is providing SCFHP with integrated solutions that include core administration, enrollment administration, encounter data management, and application management services. TriZetto's experience figured prominently in its selection from a competitive field.
"TriZetto provides tremendous depth of experience in the Medicare and Medicaid markets," said Elizabeth Darrow, CEO of SCFHP. "Nationally, it serves more than 60 percent of managed Medicaid lives and more than 30 percent of Medicare Advantage lives, as well as 47 health plans with dual-eligible lines of business. TriZetto's the right partner to help SCFHP serve this population in Santa Clara County with high-quality, well-coordinated benefits and care."
SCFHP said speed-to-market was another consideration in its selection of TriZetto. "We need to be ready to enroll dual-eligible members in November 2014. We determined that TriZetto's integrated solutions for this market segment will enable us to meet the aggressive timeline," said Gary Kaplan, SCFHP's vice president of information technology.
"For nearly 20 years, SCFHP has been a healthcare steward for Santa Clara County," said Rob Scavo, president, payer market, at TriZetto. "It has partnered with local providers to enable care for adults and children who cannot access or afford it, and SCFHP has worked diligently to build a community of concern for the underserved. We're greatly impressed by this, and TriZetto is committed to the smooth, successful launch of SCFHP's dual-eligible program in November."
TriZetto's application management services for SCFHP include data-center hosting, disaster recovery operations, security provisions and help-desk services, as well as system management that will update the platform and help it run smoothly. Additionally, these services improve system performance and availability for a flat, predictable monthly fee.
TriZetto's core administration system will simplify benefits administration for SCFHP's duals demonstration project. For every office visit or other medical service, the system will automatically process both Medicare and Medicaid benefits for the dual-eligible member with a single claim submission, claim payment and remittance advice. TriZetto's Enrollment Administration Manger and Encounter Data Manager solutions will support separate reporting for Medicare and Medicaid and provide specialized functionality such as reconciliation and member true-up with CMS.

Doug Wakefield is an Accessibility Specialist at The U.S. Access Board. With his permission, I am making his reply available on a question posted on the Interest Group concerning 508 and testing. "The way the law is written each agency is in charge of their own compliance. The key is to follow the 508 web standards. If followed, then liability shouldn't be an issue. We do recognize that at present a couple of the standards are difficult to test for, such as the forms requirement. However most can be examined by simply looking at the code. " Personally, I would like to ask for comments as I feel the information exchange can help the WAI and all of us understand the perspectives and issues. Also looking for things we are missing in the implementation stage. May I ask that we maintain a constructive discussion, as we do not want to get banned <big smile> . cheers, robReceived on Tuesday, 16 January 2001 15:04:13 UTC

Boomers follows the ups and downs of three couples living in Thurnemouth, 'Norfolk's only west-facing resort'.There's Alan and Joyce, who are coming at retirement from very different directions; Alan wants to slow down, Joyce wants to speed up. Alan tries to avoid as many of Joyce's social commitments as possible, but downsizing to a bungalow has meant there are fewer places for him to hide.John and Maureen, living in their gadget-filled dream house, are adventurous in every aspect of life including the bedroom. For them, 60 is the new 40. However, there's a reminder of what's around the corner with Maureen's ever-present mum Joan.And finally there's Trevor and Carol, who've got non-communication down to such a fine art that if Carol spent a weekend away, Trevor might not even notice.
The three couples are returning from the Christmas markets in Cologne, but at the Channel Tunnel incorrect tickets, a looming strike and rude novelty Santas all spell disaster.
The friends head to a campsite, where the boys get into trouble on a bike ride.
Alan's in mid loft clear-out, having hired a skip for the purpose, when new couple Matt and Seb pop by to invite them to their housewarming party that night. Despite Alan's natural inclination to say no to a social invitation, Joyce is keen to be welcoming to the new neighbours so accepts on their behalf. The party is in full flow when our gang arrive. John - having confessed to Alan that he's catnip to gay men - instead immediately attracts the attentions of Matt and Seb's house dog Becks, much to Alan's amusement. Carol's keen to leave early as she and Trevor are coming to the end of a period of sexual lent, which has raised Trevor's anxiety levels to an all time high. Maureen's just excited to be at a 'real gay party' - she used to be a regular at all the clubs back in the day - but Joyce has told her to keep a lid on it, as she doesn't want anyone thinking they're old fogies with outdated notions 'of the gay scene'. Meanwhile, Alan's spotted one of Joyce's old bedside tables that he had recently thrown out and thinks his hosts have stolen it, which they deny. Unconvinced, Alan tells John he's going to steal it back and enlists his help. But it turns out nicking your own stuff back off your neighbours is more complicated than you might think.
A funeral is approaching, and Alan is particularly looking forward to it as his old friend Mick is attending, from his retirement home in Spain. No one else is quite so pleased.
Carol and Trevor celebrate their 40th wedding anniversary. With Joyce having organised a gastro-pub lunch, it looks like it could be a party to remember.
Thurnemouth Day is on the horizon, but for chairman Trevor he also has to consider his strained marriage. Meanwhile, Joyce has an equally lofty office to hold in the local Choral Society.
Joyce is retiring and Alan has organised a house party, complete with video tributes. Maureen's more interested by their new neighbours, fresh from London.
Joyce and Alan have financial concerns and are considering downsizing.
As the gang head off for their annual 1960s-themed getaway weekend, it looks like there could be a little less fun and a little more stress at the seaside.

Recipe: Max's Famous Chocolate Chip Cookies are Egg, Dairy and Nut Free
Yesterday was National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day! Did you celebrate with a snack of Chocolate Chip Cookies? I sure did. So yummy!
While I dont think twice about enjoying Chocolate Chip Cookies, I know that many people have food allergies and need to be careful of what they eat. But I'm a firm beleiver that cookies should be enjoyed by everyone! That's why I'm sharing a recipe from Liz Neumark's cookbook, Sylvia's Table ($35).
Max's Famous Chocolate Chip Cookies are egg, dairy and nut free so those with food allergies can enjoy cookies also without worry!
Max's Famous Chocolate Chip Cookies
Makes about 3 dozen cookies
16 tablespoons (2 sticks) margarine, at room temperature (look for brands low in trans fats)
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3 tablespoons water
3 tablespoons vegetable or canola oil
2 1/2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups chocolate chips
1 heaping tablespoon soy nut butter
Cooking spray
1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
2. Beat the margarine and both sugars together in a large bowl until well blended; stir in the vanilla, water, and oil. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, then add them to the wet ingredients and blend well. Fold in the chips and soy nut butter.
Spray cookie sheets lightly with cooking spray or brush them with canola oil or a similar mild- flavored vegetable oil.
3. Drop teaspoons of the dough onto cookie sheets and bake for 8 to 10 minutes; the cookies should still be slightly soft when you take them out of the oven. Set the sheets on wire racks. Let the cookies cool for about 5 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer them directly to the racks.
Liz, CEO of legendary NYC catering company Great Performances, created Sylvia's Table to help re-establish a connection of coming together around food while creating family memories along the way.

Deep River Brewing Company to open soon
Beer connoisseurs, downtown enthusiasts and even people from outside town looking for a weekend day-trip can soon put a new brewery on their list of places worth visiting.
Husband-and-wife owners Paul and Lynn Auclair say the Deep River Brewing Company will be open within the next 30 days.
Residents have awaited the opening of the brewery for months, since the Auclairs originally scheduled to open in November. Construction delays set back that date. The brewery, which is located at 700 West Main St. received its ABC permit last week, making it official: It's the first legal brewery in Johnston County. And that's the motto of a T-shirt the brewery will be selling, said Lynn Auclair.
"We want to have three or four types of beer before we invite anybody," said Paul Auclair. The exact opening date has not been announced yet, but now that the brewery has its license, and it has also passed inspections, it is nearly ready for its debut. The couple said they plan to start brewing this week so there will be enough beer, and enough types of beer ready for a grand opening.
The Auclairs have taken time to think about what will make this brewery stand-out, and how it can represent Johnston County.
Local ingredients
Freshly chopped wood that was repurposed from an old tobacco barn lines the bar wall of the tap-room from the floor to the ceiling.
"A family in Archer Lodge donated it to us," said Lynn Auclair. "We had to go tear down the barn ourselves."
The Johnston County signature is not only in the physical fixtures. There are also unique ingredients in the beer flavors that rely on produce from locals.
"We will be getting blueberries, honey, white sweet potatoes, and watermelon from local farmers," said Auclair. There are six beer flavors that will rotate on tap. Two of the beers will be year-round, and there are four seasonal beers. The summertime beer is called Double Don Golden Lager. It is made with watermelon from Johnston County, and won first place in the 2011 Piedmont Brewer's Cup for Fruit Beer. The winter time beer, JoCo White Winter, relies on the white sweet potatoes and toasted marshmallows, as well as spices for its signature flavor.
The year-round brews include the Twisted River Wit, a belgian witbier, with hints of citrus, and the Riverbank Rye-It, an amber pale ale with subtle hints of rye. Some of the beers are aged in old Jack Daniels whiskey barrels.
Each of the beers has a name that hints at its home in Johnston County. The other two seasonals include the 4042 Stout, and the Backcountry Black IPA.
The couple envisions the brewery helping put Clayton on the map.
"This could be a really big tourist attraction for Clayton," said Auclair. "Look at what Aviator did for Fuquay-Varina. We're envisioning that same thing here."
Opened in 2009, Aviator Brewery helped make the Varina side of Fuquay-Varina more of a social hub by bringing new people into town. After a successful start, the owner of the brewery, Mark Doble, expanded the operation in 2011 to open a barbecue restaurant attached to the taphouse downtown. The brewery, itself, is now separate and is located in a larger facility outside of downtown.
Clayton's Downtown Development Director Bruce Naegelen said he is confident that the brewery will help downtown Clayton thrive.
"Even though it's not right in the commercial district, like the Aviator Brewery, it'll bring new people in the area," said Naegelen. He said the Downtown Development Association will help promote events at the brewery.
Stimulating the economy
The Auclairs said they travel across the state for brewery tours and beer tastings and know that beer connoisseurs are always looking for a new place to go, no matter the drive. The brewery will have free tours on Saturdays lasting about 15 minutes each. The plan is to partner with local restaurants on tour days to offer a food and drink deal, said Auclair. Flipside Restaurant has already agreed to be a part of it and the couple is looking for more restaurants who want to collaborate.
"It's teaming up with local businesses and helping each other out. We see a big benefit to stimulate the local economy," said Auclair. "When people come from out of town, or even from outside of downtown to visit the brewery, it is likely they'll stop and get food downtown and buy from the local businesses."
The brewers did their first taste-testing in December 2011. They have since sold their beer at the summer concert series. In the future, they plan to sell the beer at local restaurants, and eventually expand the brewery to also maintain a bottling line. With 16,000 square feet of space inside the brewery, there's plenty of room to grow.

Get the Look: Sun-Kissed, Dewy Skin
Makeup trends are constantly changing and evolving. There are always different looks that are more popular during different times. For a long time, having perfectly matte porcelain skin was the it look. Now, trends tend to be turning more towards a dewy, sun-kissed look. This look is flattering on all skin types and all ages. Dewy skin is a sign of youth, so achieving this look on a more mature client is ideal. There are a few different ways to achieve this look. Here are a few…
First off, getting that sun-kissed glow…
Adding a little warmth flatters any skin tone, if done properly. Achieving that sun-kissed look is just a few steps away. Lucky are those with naturally sun-kissed skin, but for those of us who need some help to achieve the look, we can do so by using a few simple products. Using a self-tanner is always a great way to achieve a safe sun-kissed glow, but if you are looking for a quick fix, try a liquid bronzer or bronzing gel. Apply it before any makeup and be sure to apply the product all the way down your neck (if applying on a client, use a foundation brush for your application). A product like this can be used on any skin tone, even extremely pale skin – just be sure to blend! Look for a "bronzer gel" or "liquid bronzer," like this product from Clarins called "Self-Tanning Instant Gel."
Next up, adding a dewy sheen to the skin…
Illuminating Tinted Moisturizer
Personally, I love the Laura Mercier Illuminating Tinted Moisturizer! Use this product on its own or mix with a foundation. If you decide to use this product on its own, I suggest setting with a matte powder or bronzer to take down a bit of the sheen.
Illuminating Primer
There are tons of illuminating primers out there. This is a great one by Fresh called Twilight Fresh Faced Glow. Apply before foundation for that lit from within glow coming from underneath the foundation.
Liquid Illuminator
Liquid illuminators are a more concentrated formula. That means they are almost opaque in their finish. That being said, you want to be more careful with your application. A liquid illuminator is perfect for mixing with foundations or applied sparingly to certain areas of the face. Lightly tap and blend with your fingertips onto the tops of the cheekbones, bridge of the nose, or anywhere you want to highlight. Usually these products come in a few different shades. Choosing an appropriate shade for your skin tone is important. For example, this Illamasqua illuminator comes in three shades: "Glimmer – Golden Tan," "Odyssey – White Pearl" and "Poised – Pale Pink." A darker or olive complexion would benefit from the golden tan shade while a more porcelain skin would complement the white pearl shade.
Any of these three products is a great way to add light reflection and an illuminating finish to your look. Like I said, mixing a liquid illuminator with your foundation is a great option, and using an illuminating primer as the base for your foundation will do the trick as well.
Follow up with a bronzer and blush to finish the look and ta-dah! Beautiful, dewy, sun-kissed skin!

Rating: 9/10
By Kieran Webber
Lola Colt are an unstoppable force, a band that acts as one swirling machine spitting out psychedelic beats left, right and centre. Although the band's psychedelic elements take precedence they infuse film noir soundtracks, gloom rock and North African Arabic vibes.
Their latest album 'Twist Through The Fire' showcases the band's spiritual and ethereal nature; you don't listen to their music you become it.
Opening with 'Gold' a pulsating psych number that is pushed forward with a groove-infused bassline. This certain pace and energy flows through the first few tracks 'Dead Moon Jeopardy' and 'Eagle' warming you up and providing you with the much needed energy for the trip ahead.
By the time 'Twist Through The Fire' comes around the said energy has all but disappeared and transformed into slow, driving psychedelia, and it is at this point that the band shine. They grab you by the hand and throw you into another dimension, a reflective world where you see all your past mistakes and, if you allow, your future. At least that is what it feels like. Although beautiful it is haunting, but you accept this and you offer yourself up to Lola Colt.
But it's not all spiritual connections and acid dreams, they infuse sounds of 60's beat-pop with the borderline mod track 'Moonlight Mixing', a track that is bursting with swagger and will have you clicking your fingers whilst chewing gum.
'Twist Through The Fire' is an exceptional album that truly keeps giving, it has something for most dedicated music fans, it is not the sort of album that grabs you by the danglies, you have to allow yourself to be wined and dined and once you have the reward at the end it is one of pure spiritual tranquillity. Put simply the album is brilliant, beautiful and bursting in the finest elements of 60's psychedelia.

Elaine Canham, elainecanham.wordpress.com (thank you wordpress for having such reliable software. PSYCH- It's crap.) until three days ago, had never had a Twinkie.
Crazy, but true.
When she was a child, she did not watch her Saturday morning cartoons, punctuated by commercials starring Twinkie the Kid,
and should we ever run out of food, she and all her fellow Brits shall starve, for they will have nothing to eat that will last forever in a cellophane wrapping (For our story, lets assume a life of Twinkies at every meal is preferable to death), and a thousand years after we're all dead from A bombs, H bombs, and whatever letter prefix we come up with next in order to make certain death more convenient, the cockroaches will thrive upon twinkles, creating a new (and rather disgusting) race of diabetic cockroach people.
Obviously, the situation needed to be remedied. So, together we instituted a snack cake and biscuit/cookie exchange program. I sent her some Twinkies, and she sent me some Cadbury mini cake rolls, WHICH ARE SO GOOD!
When The Box arrived, J (who is perfectly capable of reading and spelling his own name or mine), immediately took it and secreted himself away with a pair of childrens' left handed scissors. When I found him, desperately trying to get into the box that he knew would contain "Twinkies from England", I asked him whose name was on that box, and the back of his head said:
"It's from US customs approved." Sigh. I never should have told him. He's become obsessed with the idea that yummy snack cakes could come from such exotic lands as England, and Elaine's kitchen.
I took the left handed childrens' scissors from him and finished the job.
J, K, the husband and I all sampled the goods. K ate all but the very end of hers, and then proclaimed that she didn't like her "Fwinkie". She eats nothing but chicken nuggets and oreos (voluntarily), so I imagine that once she noticed she was about to finish the thing, her involuntary reflexes kicked in, and she told me to please take it away, as she "didn't wike it". The husband was nonplussed as well, but he's where K gets her food aversion. J said, (between little dances of joy) "can I have another Twinkie?" I told him for the seven thousandth time that these were not Twinkies, and he'd have to wait till after dinner.
Then I got a cup of coffee, as we usually have coffee and biscuits 'round four.
The mini cake rolls, for my American friends, are like Ho-Ho's, only they're made with actual chocolate, and real cake. Amazing. I checked the ingredients, too, it's all stuff we can eat without fear of cancer or growing extra limbs or heads. Or both. I was astounded. Twinkies have so many chemicals in them that their classification as "food" ought to be reviewed.
Also in the box from Elaine were Jaffa cakes. Jaffa cakes are my new favorite treat. They're these lovely cookies with a moist (real) cake on the bottom, and then an orange gelatin covered by (real) chocolate. (I have since found a dealer here in the US to feed my new Jaffa cake habit.) They are very yummy, and I got them all to myself because the rest of the family doesn't want weird stuff like fruit gelatin in their cookies.
Americans. They have no taste.

What: The best breakfast in Bel-Air is found at the Hotel Bel-Air, naturally.
Where: Located in an outdoor/indoor space, Wolfgang Puck at the Hotel Bel-Air is an experience just for the seating. Whether you choose to be a lady who lunches in open air, or a party of four to six who occupy the corner booths tucked away alongside the famous swan filled gardens, this is as atmospheric as it gets. Just don't give the game away by shouting over to Brad Pitt if he sits next to you as you're ordering your morning coffee. Might give the game away that you're not a regular - the definition of uncool.
When: While I prefer breakfast at the Hotel Bel-Air, of course Wolfgang Puck will sort you out for any meal of the day. This is a menu that has no faults and a staff that are willing to bend over backwards to make sure every element of your experience is beyond perfection. Forget Pitt, you are made to feel above and beyond the Hollywood A-list while your derriere is planted in these plush seats.
How: This is a hot spot for locals and visitors in the know, so make sure you sort yourself out early - make reservations!. On a hot day, order an iced latte and the bread basket to start. You'll want to take in all that's around you, so make this a multi-course meal. My personal favorite - and the most beautiful item on the menu- is most definitely the french toast. Get ready for a sugar rush. It's OTT sweet. Oh, and the Bloody Mary isn't to be missed. I'll stop myself now before I start rolling off the entire menu.

I recently went to Los Algodones during their slow season and recieved my estimate to be 2, 138.00 us dollars, which i told them I had an allergy to metals right up front and other medical problems as well, the estiment included: porcelin crowns for 4 molars on bottom – 3 molars on top – 1 extraction on top- and 6 bottom front crowned.
After I recieved their estimate I said okay lets do it.
I was given numbing shots and they proceeded to ready my mouth for the crowns. The tooth to be extracted was never pulled and I was shocked to see all my bottom teeth down to stubbs. I ended up with 3 upper on one side that I only asked for 2 and only one on the oppisite side with no tooth extracted. They said I didn't need it extracted and left it. I paid them half up and other half when done.
My porcilin crowns came in and looked good but they had metal on the inside and i fought with them for quite awhile. They swore up and down they wouldn't bother me. I finally gave in and they put them in. I got a reaction within an hour of them putting them in. I complained the next day and they took off the metal crowns. after all they are guaranteed, they then asked for 2400.00 more in us dollars and that really upset me. They told me they would take the 1,000.00 more and the 1400.00 in a check. I was already 2,080.00 paid into this mess and now 2400.00 more.
DENTAL VISIT In Algodones, Mexico
"Parking on the U.S. side of the border on the Reservation lot was as easy as I remembered – just take the last right prior to the border. There were maybe 75 cars with me in the lot that day. Parking charge of $5 was paid upon exit.
"Crossing the border on the way into Mexico, I heard the few pharmacy vendors' calls and made a mental note to stop at the Purple Pharmacia/Liquor Store before I left the country as I walked the block and a half to one of the Gator Dental Group's offices. (Mom added: This office, quite small, has two younger dentists than the Gator office in Alamo Alley. As of this addition, 11/14/2012, The larger office is being refurbished and will have a different dentist than I had gone to – hopefully a bit younger :) ) This group has two offices in town, about a block from each other, between A and B Avenues. Remember these are small "walking" blocks; it's a tiny town, so they are both very conveniently located.
"I had to wait about an hour as two elderly brothers were given impressions for their upcoming denture installment. But the dental office was air conditioned, very clean (although tiny) and they served complimentary bottled water and coffee as I chatted with one of the brothers' wife in the waiting room who had also come for the same purpose from Phoenix that day.
"During my exam, Dr. Guzman found four little cavities in my teeth so he numbed me up and fixed them with white amalgam right then and there and also gave me a cleaning for $150 US. Incredible. I was very happy with the service at Gator Dental, the quality of the work and especially the price. Before learning about Mexican dental care from your web site, I got an estimate at a dentist in L.A. who wanted $200 to fix ONE tooth and $65 for a cleaning. Incredible. I was finished and out the door before noon – none of this, "We'll fix one today, then schedule appointments for the rest", bull$#!& I would have gotten at a dental office in the states.
"I almost stopped at one of the many optical shops in town to buy a new pair of bifocals, but decided to wait until next time. I'll give you a report on that at a later date.
"On the short walk back to my car, I stopped at the Purple Pharmacia for generic Retin-A ($2.16/40g) and then the connected liquor store for Kahlua ($8.50/L); two more excellent buys. Remember, the U.S. allows a person to cross into the country with only one liter of liquor.
"It is usually about a five hour drive from Yuma to Los Angeles. My ride through the desert back home was hot and uneventful until I reached Cabazon on the 10 freeway where an accident held things up for a while.
"As long as I have the time to get there, I'll go back to Los Algodones and the Gator Dental Group in the future for all of my dental care needs and to save myself a lot of money!"
Hope you've enjoyed his Algodones dental visit adventure …Best to you all, Barbie

I just got back from Algodonnes 3 weeks ago and was completely satisfied. I had 2 root canals and 2 porcelain crowns done. It was only $380 per tooth.
I have been told that 1/2 the dentists are good and half are not so good.
Do not use anyone without a reliable referral. It is the same worldwide.
Liqui's is the name of the purple pharmacy store.
I will go back . If anyone wants a referral just contact me @[email protected]
Does the Purple Pharmacy still sell their drugs online or by mail. I had their card, this was two years ago they said I could order by phone and use my credit card. I have since lost the card. Does anyone have the info. ?? I plan my usual trip down but need a small prescription now and don't want to pay the online prices offered by the rip off artists! thanks. Nancy
Sorry, I do not have an answer for that.
my husband is thinking of getting some dental implant work done and he is looking for referrals for los algodones dentists…or any information on services rendered.
thanks kindly.

Successfully starting a home business requires two things: leap of faith and reasoned analysis. You must have the guts to launch a new business, but you must know what you are getting into.
Many entrepreneurs make the mistake of just jumping in their excitement without putting a strong foundation in place. If you get started without thinking through what you are going to do– how you are going to do it, how you will finance it, how you will make money doing it — your chances for success are quite slim.
There are a million and one details that you need to look into, and you can easily be overwhelmed by all that you need to know. A key point to remember is that you do not have to be an expert in all these areas just reasonably knowledgeable. Otherwise, being seriously deficient in one area could ruin your chances.
What are the things that you should know if you want to start a business? Below are the various aspects of a business that you need to know.
Technical Aspects of the Business
Know everything there is to know about the business that you are entering. The more you know about how things are done in the business, the better you can serve your clients and manage your business. Plus, the knowledge will protect you from scam artists out to fleece newbies like you.
For example, the technical aspects of a bed and breakfast business include such things as room management, food preparation, and serving. It would also include knowing about bed settings and guest management as well as potential suppliers for supplies, food and equipment.
A web business, on the other hand, includes the selection of the right domain name, creation and design of web sites, hosting considerations, and setting up of all the software needed (e.g. shopping cart, discussion forum, etc.). You also need to know the fine points of a site's usability and understand the measurement of various web metrics. It also involves knowing the process of optimizing the site for search engines, and knowing the basics of banner advertising.
As a start-up entrepreneur, you may find yourself asking, "What are the things that I should know in my business?" Your first resource should be a profile book. There are a number of book publishers (e.g. Globe Pequot Press) and authors that write profiles of particular type of business from How to Start a Home-Based Travel Business, How to Start a Day Care Business from Home, or How to Start a Home-Based Carpentry Business, and more. These books will give you all the information that you need on starting a particular business. Borrow these books from your library or buy them from your nearest bookstore or online store.
There are also books that profile multiple types of ventures. Paul and Sara Edward's The Best Home Businesses for the 21st Century provides step-by-step guidelines for more than 100 business ventures. From these types of books, you'll glean essential information on start-up costs and requirements, self-evaluation, financial projections and management, marketing and contact listings to people in the trade.
Financial Management and Record Keeping
Whether you are comfortable with numbers or not, you must have the basic understanding of the financial aspects of running a business. Having a strong grasp of the financial requirements of your business can bring you a long way. These includes record keeping, cash flow management, account receivables management, debt collection, and tax management.
You must be familiar with the concepts of budgets, accounting and profit margins. You need to know the flow of money in your business, ways to improve your bottom line, tips to lessen your taxes, and stretch out your resources during a dry spell. You also need to have a good idea of how much money you actually need before you start looking for money.
If you need help in setting up your books, you can avail of the free programs and resources offered by Uncle Sam. Request a copy of its latest offering, Small Business Resource Guide-CD 2000 (publication 3207), by calling (800) 829-3676.
Legal and Regulatory Requirements
When you are decided on starting a business, your first stop should be the business information center of your city or county. A first-stop office can provide you with information packages about licensing, permits, zoning requirements, your particular business type and running a business in your state in general. The packages are usually free, and information very invaluable in terms of starting your business in the right foot. You do not want to start a home business, only to find out after you have bought so much equipment and supplies that your business is not allowed in your residential area.
You also need to determine the legal structure of your business, and how to set that up. Your business information center can provide you with the information on how to go about the steps in business registration and setting up of your business. If you will be working solo in your business, you can register your business as a sole proprietorship. Once you have your business registration, you can then set-up your business bank account. Setting up of partnerships, LLC or corporation may require that you seek the help of a lawyer.
If you are starting a business that uses an innovative technology or process and the success of your venture depends on you keeping that knowledge your first stop should be to a lawyer who can help protect your business idea. Imagine seeing your idea brought to life by a competitor, who now prohibits you from profiting on your very creation simply because your competitor was able to secure the patent for your product! Such horror stories abound, and you need to know how to protect your business interests. The draw side, of course, is that getting a lawyer costs money.
Operational Requirements of Running your Business
When your business is off the ground and ready to open, you are in an "operational mode." You need to know and identify elements that can affect the smooth running of your business. Part of this process include knowing and getting the right insurance for your business.
You also need to look for the professionals who could provide you with support and advice (accountant, lawyer, etc.). If you cannot afford to pay for professional services, you can pick the brain of business veterans through free e-mail counseling offered by the Service Corps of Retired Executives (http://www.score.org) and through the SBA Answer Desk (http://www.sba.gov).
Take advantage of industry freebies. Before you dip into your piggybank, make sure you're not about to pay for something you can get free. Take advantage of free computer access to databases and software at your local Business Information Center (http://www.sba.gov/BI/bics/index.html).
You also need to have your marketing and image arsenal, which includes business cards and stationery. There are a number of manufacturers that provide sample packages of office products, software working demos and stationery or paper samples direct from manufacturers. Avery Dennison offers labels you can sample for free.
Marketing the Business
You need to ensure that money continues to flow in your business by getting a steady stream of customers. Before anything else, research to make sure that a market for your business exists. If there are already 20 pet sitters in a community of 100 people, do you think your pet sitting business can still stand a chance in this overcrowded market?
Make sure you understand who your typical customers are, and how best to reach them. Does your market respond well to classified ads; or should you embark on a high profile direct marketing campaign? Can you simply show them your product and expect them to immediately buy them; or do they need know and trust you before giving their accounts to you? Are they impulse buyers; or are they the types who carefully evaluate the product or service before purchasing?
Once you've clearly identified them, take steps to ensure that your potential customers will know about your business. Map out a simple plan spelling out in writing the steps you need to take to get more clients or customers for your products or services.

Is there a link between dairy and skin (acne/aging)? Nutrition and your skin
Ok – so there's a lot said on the web about nutrition, dairy, sugar and skin that isn't true, it's just someone's opinion. We all know that. Also, nutritional fads come and go, pushing new supposed culprits into focus. Think about all the ones you've seen come and go. Not sure what to believe? Here are some things that are true!
Sugar and your skin
Our skin is an organ in our body, in fact the largest organ in our body! It's metabolically (means cells are working) active just like your liver, or brain, or kidneys. There is now a LOT of actual evidence that refined sugar is not good for any of us, therefore it is not good for your skin. But, it doesn't actually degrade collagen. I don't know of any study that supports this statement. Please correct me nutritionists out there, if you have a study.
Link between dairy and skin
On the diary issue, there is a school of thought (NOT proven) that dairy products increase inflammation in the body. Where is the proof for this if you are not actually allergic? One theory is that it's a cow based product but, have you ever noticed that that same group often eats beef (also cow) and doesn't have any problem with it? And how is inflammation being measured? And, is there a difference between probiotic rich dairy (like yoghurt and certain cheeses) and milk? I don't know that we know this! If you all have answers, please write me.
Hope this helps! Dr. I

Jim Croce sang that "the south side of Chicago is the baddest part of town." And now, thanks to years of work, Dallas' South Side district, otherwise known as The Cedars, is the baddest part of Dallas. CandysDirt.com is bringing you the exclusive pre-listing peep at the most unique space in the neighborhood.
Unlike the cardboard streetscape of West Village, The Cedars retains many original structures, dominated by the South Side on Lamar warehouse condo conversion. This gives the area a rough-and-tumble, more organically grown vibe. Sure there are new buildings like The Beat, the first high-rise south of Interstate 30 in memory, but it's not all there is.
The area was full of warehouses and light industrial along with some '60s and '70s satellite corporate offices. The Beat is even across from an aging IBM outpost. Given the unkemptness of the building, one supposes it houses the remaining OS/2 Warp tech support team (brownie points if you get THAT reference! Cheaters gonna cheat.).
The Beat also borders light rail, making commuting to the city core and beyond a breeze. A few second walk to Lamar Street opens up many hip dining and "joint" options (Cedars Social, Poor David's). For those uncomfortable with hip … well, there's always "corporate hip" Gilley's.
Note: Before imbibing in the area, line up a nearby Cowboy Cab or designated driver. There's a big ol' calaboose anchoring the area.
There's even a neighboring corporate-hip hotel called NYLO (New York London, I believe). Of course, corporate hip is never really hip (there's a Plano outpost for gosh sakes), but it's often nice. How corporate? These acronym lovers have a credo summarized by DELIVER – D is for Design, E is for Entertain … (barf). But in addition to the accommodations, hotel bar and restaurant proximity, it's the rooftop pool that's the true amenity for The Beat. You see, the tragically hip are often young lovelies who parade around in skimpy swimming costumes. Beer and a well-placed telescope fulfill some Beat owners' needs on a summer's afternoon.
Anywhooo …

Who Spent the Longest Time on the FBI's Most Wanted List?
September 15, 2013 in Trivia
Victor Manuel Gerena sets the record to date for the longest time on the FBI's "Ten Most Wanted Fugitives". Gerena went on the list on May 14, 1984 and remains on the list to date.
Gerena is wanted in connection with the 1983 armed robbery of approximately $7 million from a security company in West Hartford, Conn. Allegedly he took two security employees hostage at gunpoint, handcuffed and bound them, and then injected both with an unknown substance in order to further disable them.
According to the FBI's official wanted poster for Gerena as of 2004, the bureau is offering a reward of up to $1 million for information leading directly to his arrest. He is considered armed and extremely dangerous.
The FBI's "Ten Most Wanted Fugitives" list has been in existence since March 14, 1950.
The "most wanted" list came about on March 14, 1950 when a reporter for the International News Service (the predecessor to UPI) asked the bureau for the names and descriptions of the "toughest guys" the Bureau would like to capture. So much publicity came from the resulting news story late FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover created the "Ten Most Wanted Fugitives" program.
First to be placed on the list was Thomas James Holden, wanted for the murder of his wife, her brother, and her stepbrother.
Since the program started 500 fugitives have been on the "top ten" list. Of these, 470 have been apprehended or located. Citizen cooperation has resulted in the capture or location of 156 fugitives.
Decisions on who goes on the list rely upon the FBI's Criminal Investigative Division and 56 field offices, which submit candidates for the list. CID special agents, along with the Office of Public Affairs, review the nominees. Final selection of proposed candidates is submitted to FBI executive management for final approval.
A minimum reward of up to $100,000 is offered by the FBI for information, which leads directly to the arrest of a "top ten" fugitive. In some instances, such as in the case of Gerena, the reward amount offered is more than $100,000.
Editor's Note: A reader questioned why D.B. Cooper was not considered the longest most-wanted suspect by the FBI. The answer is simple: They aren't looking for him any longer.
According to an FBI statement, "Even though our investigation has remained open, it doesn't make sense for the FBI to commit substantial resources to this nearly four-decade-old crime."
In point of fact, the person who has spent the longest amount of time on the list is Victor Manuel Gerena according to the FBI list chronology and fugitives FAQ. The bureau also has a fascinating history of the Dan Cooper episode on its website.

Gilcrest Residence, Beverly Hills CA
This home is sleek and streamlined, minimalist but rich in materials creating warmth, elegance and luxuriousness.
Working with the client and Architect C.J Bonura, lighting designers LightRaze were engaged to create a new lighting scheme that would accentuate the homes details and create an awesome nighttime look.
"In 1948 the owner commissioned his friend, Frank Lloyd Wright, to build his iconic recording studio,and this gave us the inspiration for our creativity ," said Mark Raissen, president at Lightraze.
To accomplish this, Lightraze used focused specific beams of light and a mix of very warm color temperatures to accent the architecture and interior design. To emphasize the spatial features, Lightraze used mostly triple head aimable flush mud-in recessed luminaires to light the vertical spaces, drawing the eye towards the ceiling. Set close to the surface and using a narrow beam, the luminaires graze the concrete, bringing out its texture and character.
To create drama we uplit huge shuttered concrete walls. Again set close to the surface, we specified medium beam optics in the luminaires to create scalloping shapes of light, highlighting the grandeur of these zones.
"We designed the entire lighting scheme,specified all architectural fixtures,negotiated with manufacturers and procured the lighting," Raissen said.
"We thoroughly enjoyed collaborating with the client, architect, contractor and AV/dimming control specialist."

Look! Up in the sky!
A local group has a project it hopes will fly —or at least get off the ground: mobiles.
The Foundation for San Luis Obispo Public
Libraries is looking for people to make mobiles based on book titles, authors or characters. Clubs, groups, classrooms and individuals are urged to get involved.
Mobiles are not just something to hang over babies' cribs for entertainment. They've been considered an art form since American kinetic artist Alexander Calder created them in the early 1920s. Calder is among those who influenced San Luis Obispo artist James Jacobson.
Jacobson turned a 30-year-old mobile-making hobby into a profession six years ago. Jacobson's work is now situated around town as public art. He's lending his expertise to the current project, a collaboration between Friends of the Library groups, the SLO Arts Council, local artists, kindergarten through 12th-grade schools and Cal Poly.
"I'm sort of the token mobile artist," says Jacobson, who is on the project's steering committee, along with foundation president Robert London.
Many libraries already host art exhibits, but as wall space is often scarce, mobiles should fit right in, according to London, who notes, "There's still room on the ceiling."
Once completed, the movable art works will hang in local libraries until National Library Week in mid-April, when they'll be auctioned off to benefit the foundation.
Constructing the units, however, requires more than dangling doo-dads from sticks with fishing line.
"Mobiles take some engineering," says London. "Most of us think that mobiles are made from the top down. They're actually made from the bottom up." The more sophisticated mobiles are, at least, to obtain the best balance.
"I find this to be true in everyday life," London continues, noting the power of people "living near the bottom of the pyramid of society" coming together to resolve a community problem, rather than waiting for an official to solve it. It gives people the chance "to bring balance into our lives," he says.
For the balance-challenged, Cal Poly Liberal Studies students will be available for in-class mobile-making workshops. The project gives groups, especially children, a way to make money for a good cause.
"They have a chance to be creative instead of selling wrapping paper or cookies," London points out.
He and others involved hope that everyone will give the idea a whirl.
Lesson plans and submission guidelines for the mobile project are available by going to www.slolibrary

Consequently, there is a mutual understanding that career ambitions do not have to be compromised to search out love. And it's particularly troublesome when you're residing a full life as it's. As a successful professional, you simply do not have time for the 'hit or miss' strategy to dating that you find at singles events or web courting sites. For those who're considering of heading online to find love , EliteSingles may simply be the fitting dating company for you. But for some, this world sometimes proves to be extra of an ordeal than a fun-crammed hunt for love.
Hello, I just rambled to this website as I am doing some analysis on tips on how to begin a web-based relationship website and I find this info to be very useful. Web courting agency: A web site the place people register, post their profiles and speak to other members who've signed up with the agency. Until they grow to be a member of Engaging Professionals, many people do not know the difference between an on-line dating agency and a private introduction or introductions company.
Males's Relationship Life website and writer Ashley Davis bring you this nice information designed that can assist you appeal to more women, whether you are utilizing on-line dating or trying to satisfy females in the real world. Is likely one of the hottest relationship websites in the UK. Though you can join the location totally free, this solely permits you to arrange your profile and browse existing members. EliteSingles manually checks every individual profile with a view to assure everybody within the dating company is serious concerning the seek for love. Velocity dating : A group of individuals rotate partners and describe their persona and needs within a set time restrict.
The alternate options to Loads of Fish are the various paid courting websites you see on TV on a regular basis like eHarmony and Another site is OkCupid, which can also be free but its interface and ads make the location a a lot slower expertise than POF is. So I instructed them: I really like the theatre, I am a non-smoker, I'm romantic and I love a great chat. Just because you start out as a free courting website doesn't suggest you have to keep that manner. There are companies who provide velocity relationship kits, strive Match in Six This velocity dating company is based out of Atlanta and affords a unique model of events, speed dating assets, and data on getting began with internet hosting and coordinating velocity courting occasions. In case you are unhappy with a courting service's expenses, David McKenzie, a frontrunner for e-commerce at Trading Requirements, says you should complain to the corporate first.
Educational researchers find it inconceivable to search out exact figures about essential statistics, such because the ratio of energetic daters to the large number of inactive members (whom an agency will typically wrongly claim as potential partners, leaving them 'on the books' lengthy after they have left) and the overall ratio of men to ladies in an company's membership.

I was incredibly bored and unproductive. So I thought, hmm, why not push it to the next level of boredom, so I can be productively bored and taste a bit of flow state, which is a better alternative than rumination 🙂
After deleting my photos due to Moodswing, I decide to collect photos of beauties and put into one compilation. They are real people but in this album, they are not. Not really. Some are famous and some are random. I judge them. I label them. So what?
Yesterday a friend told me he is sick of people treating him for somebody is not, other than a normal person. Well, we all do, don't we? What is wrong with wanting to be somebody else? To get a taste of the unusual?
If we waste time on internet, let's waste it with style with people we cannot take our eyes off. Let me guide you in a journey of fantasy, nostalgia, stories & diversity.😉
The classic beauty
This is Amber Heard. I think she must be the most charming woman out there. She doesn't need to smile and can kill people with any lipstick color. She can be an angel, a warrior, a vampire, or a mermaid. The kind of bad-ass lady who just needs to show up, and she will fill up the atmosphere with character.
I am about to watch her interviews, but then I thought "The moment I hear her voice I would hate her", so I decide to stop and just immerse in this fun idealizing because real people, even real beautiful ones are boring.
Amber says she is a rebel. Normally rebels need to wear rebel clothes and show some posture to speak to the world "Hey, I don't care". Right? This one will just need to wake up and stare at you and in a moment you will melt and agree "Okay, whatever u wanna claim yourself".
The rebel
Do you see the stark similarity between Kristen Steward & Amber Heard? They should be sisters. I think Amber Heard is a smooth combination of Scarlett Johansson , Kristen Steward and Jessica Alba. She is a good reason for girls to go lesbian.
The bad boy with hazing gaze
This one looks like the macho king in Games of Thrones, but of course, much smaller. The macho king in Thrones is ridiculously big that he should not be real.
But our man is different. With ripped open black leather jacket and wet medium-length hair, this guy should not be allowed in this world.
The sexy Bald
I think bald are incredibly sexy. However, there is a dead point: make sure you have a perfect symmetrical face, mesmerizing gaze, long thick eye brown and just-enough beard. In a click, that person looks like a prodigy.
Hard? Then give up the idea of shaving your head 😉
The depressing Caucasian Kid
Do you know why we are attracted to bad people? Because somehow they look very complicated. There must be something in that head, when you are out in the sun with hair flowing freely.
Arrh, that ring necklace too.
The sexy Asian
Black sexy Asian with loose & tight black jacket
When Kurt Cobain plays violin
Is this Kurt Cobain? NO, hell no. This is David Garrett, a model and talented violinist from Germany, with the sexiness of Italians.
Check out his amazing violin of November Rain
The world is not fair is it? I know I know 🙂
The game character to go gay for
If you haven't know yet, This is Cloud Strifle. I think Linh Tran must have taken the inspiration from Cloud for his cool profile pic (Anyway, good job man, u are nearly there 😉 )
In real life, a hair like this will require a lot of gel. It will be stiff and just pointed all the time, but in Final Fantasy, cloud lets his hair fall in cloud as well. A lot of young Asians try to adopt this style after the fame of the game but most of them failed. Big time.
Of course, he is designed to be a hero with mysteries and dark secrets, who chases the female character but was not chosen. He is destined to be strong yet vulnerable, and never happy.
The French philosopher
Maria Ozawa
For people with yellow fever.
Maria Ozawa is a Japanese sex figure but she does not look too Japanese. This charming woman is half Jap, half French.
Other than that, her real life is both interesting and depressing. As a porn star reaching 30s now, her prime is over.
Bicycle Babe
U better just stand there and not ride
The Chinese Classic
China/ Hongkong has many beauties. This is Zhang Zhi Di, with her sword, black soft dress and tears in her eyes while that black long hair is being consoled by the wind in a jungle of autumn leaves.
Her love was killed at that moment, and she just had killed somebody else too. Guess who?
Once a beauty, always a beauty
It is hard to create a compilation without Jessica Alba. Rose to fame with Dark Angel, I remember the childhood days of sticking face to TV screen every 6 PM just for her to show up and say whatever, even frowning like this.
The older she gets, the more charming she becomes.

Every time I see this picture, I feel incredibly blessed. Because it's a poignant reminder of just how passionate Mom was about her art, and about using her art to connect with other people. It's also reminds me of how determined she was not to allow the intense pain of fibromyalgia to stop her, even though sitting outside in cold weather only made her pain worse.
I loved standing back and watching her interact with people when they stopped to admire her work at the farmer's market, especially if she happened to make a sale. Just a few minutes of their time and interest created so much joy for her, that it was worth it when she went home and collapsed in pain in her chair. And then an hour or so later, she would begin to focus on creating new art and she would feel rejuvenated.
Lately, I've benefitted tremendously from understanding what Mom knew instinctively: that a change in our focus can radically change the quality of our lives. And that if we have something to feel passionate about, we can use it to push through any kind of pain, not just physical.
It's a lesson Mom lived every day of her life, and one I learned firsthand by watching her.

Sussex Cricket have signed New Zealand international batsman Tom Bruce for the duration of Sussex Sharks' 2018 Vitality Blast campaign.
The 26-year-old will be available for all 14 of the team's matches in the South Group, as well as the knock-out stages should the Sharks progress.
Supporters will have their first chance to see Bruce in a Sussex shirt this Friday 8th June, however, when he forms part of the men's side that takes on the 2018 Aboriginal XI at The 1st Central County Ground, Hove.
That match gets underway at 3pm and follows on from the corresponding women's fixture at 11am. Entry to the ground is free to all and no ticket is required.
Tom has played 14 T20 internationals for the Black Caps since making his debut against Bangladesh at Napier in January 2017. His top score to date of 59 not out off 39 balls came in the same series.
His most recent international appearance came during the tri-series between New Zealand, Australia and England in year.
The right-hander burst onto the New Zealand domestic T20 scene in the 2015/16 season with a 51-ball 82 not out on his Central Districts debut in the Super Smash.
He finished that year's competition as his side's second leading run-scorer behind only Sri Lankan superstar – and former Sussex Shark – Mahela Jayawardene.
Tom repeated that feat in 2016/17 scoring 283 runs at an average of nearly 50 and with a stratospheric strike rate of 171.5.
In his 41 career T20s so far, he has scored 958 runs at an average of 28.17. His career strike rate of 150.39 puts him in 26th place on the all-time list.
Commenting on his latest signing, Sussex Sharks head coach Jason Gillespie said: "The injury to Stiaan van Zyl forced us to reassess our squad for the Vitality Blast and we've decided that we need to bring in a quality overseas batsman for the duration of the tournament.
"Tom has experience on the biggest stage with New Zealand and is exactly the type of dynamic middle order stroke maker we're looking for.
"To have him available for the entirety of the competition will offer us continuity, which is very important in tournament cricket.
"We can't wait to welcome Tom in to the dressing room, where I'm sure he's going to fit in really well.
"He'll be looking forward to showing everyone how good a player he is and I know Sussex supporters are going to really enjoy watching him play."
Bruce himself added: "I'm very excited to have signed with Sussex Sharks for the entire Vitality Blast. It's a great opportunity at a great county and I'm excited to meet the team staff and prepare for the upcoming campaign."
Sussex Sharks begin their Vitality Blast campaign on Wednesday 4th July against Essex Eagles at Chelmsford.
Their first home fixture follows on Friday 13th July against Surrey at The 1st Central County Ground.
Tickets for that match and the other six group games at Hove are on sale now. The Blast Pass season ticket is also available, offering entry to all seven games for one unbeatable price.

This may come as a shock to many of you: There is no missing link to the human evolution picture.
Fossil records have been being filled in for over a century now – with incredible discoveries coming in the last two decades. But we have known all along that there is no missing link. Darwin knew that.
The missing link idea is a myth.
Darwin postulated variation in skeletal structure. And the human skull is a clear variation of the evolution of a skull shape. The general skull shape has shifted in variation but it's essential form – symmetrical eyes, nostrils, single mouth – has been around since mammals began.
In this video you can clearly see the morphing, subtle changes of the skull over time. Changes that have made us to look like who we are today.
The bottom line is that we are animals. We behave like animals – with parts of our brains still living life in the dark ages – before reason.
We are in the middle of evolution – not an end point – so we know there is more change to come. Hopefully there will be some ways for our brains to catch up to the speed of the evolution of technology that is taking over the planet.
It's going to be an interesting time in the next hundred years. We will be seeing things that we can't conceive of. Transitions that are unimaginable.
But it will be challenging for our brains to have radical breakthroughs – until we recognize the kind of animal that we truly are. A great ape. A sexual ape. A delusional, symbolic ape with language that makes up stories and believes them.
This is where we come from… and has everything to do with where we are going.
