Viobin Wheat Germ Oil is unrefined vegetable oil made from fresh, high quality wheat germ. Viobin Wheat Germ Oil is made from only the freshest North American wheat germ, by their exclusive cold process method that extracts and preserves more of the natural nutrients, flavor and aroma. Viobin Wheat Germ Oil is the richest naturally occurring source of Vitamin E and also supplies an abundance of nutrients including Omega 6 and Omega 3 fatty acids, phosphatides, phytosterols, and octacosanol. These nutrients can be beneficial by increasing endurance, lowering cholesterol levels, oxygenating tissues, reducing high altitude stress and assisting with muscular dystrophies and other neuromuscular disorders. Viobin Wheat Germ Oil is unrefined and abundant in natural waxes and phospholipids. 1 teaspoon of Viobin Wheat Germ Oil contains approximately 10 IU of Vitamin E. Fatty Acid Composition Oleic (Omega 9) 15% Linoleic (Omega 6) 57% Linolenic (Omega 3) 9% Omega 6: Omega 3 is approximately 6:1 What is Wheat Germ? A grain of wheat is also known as the 'wheat kernel' or 'wheat berry'. This is the seed that grows into wheat grass as we see it in fields. Wheat germ is a very small part of a grain of wheat - approx 2.5% of the weight. The word 'germ' refers to germination, which is the reproductive part of the kernel that germinates and forms the wheat grass. You can add wheat germ to foods like protein shakes, cereals, toast or as part of general cooking. As you can see from the diagram the wheat kernel is divided up into 3 distinctive parts: Bran: The bran is the outside layer of the kernel and is approx 14% of the kernel weight. It contains the most fiber and protects the inner parts of the wheat kernel. Endosperm: The endosperm makes up approx 83% of the kernel weight and the source of white flour. The endosperm contains the greatest share of protein, carbohydrates and iron, as well as the major B-vitamins such as riboflavin, niacin, thiamin and iron. It is also a source of soluble fiber3. Germ: The germ is the part of the wheat kernel that germinates and turns into a plant. The majority of the kernel's fat is found in wheat germ. It is the most nutrient-rich part of the wheat. Due to the high levels of nutrients contained in the wheat germ, it is extracted from the kernel and used as a supplement to create healthy meals. Wheat Germ Benefits If you ask any nutrition expert or dietitian you will no doubt receive a glowing indictment on the many benefits of wheat germ. However, if you ask a Doctor you may or may not receive such a positive response. As with any food that contains healthy vitamins and/or minerals, doctors will always argue with how much of a health benefit is actually derived from the substance. The good news is that Wheat Germ does contain many of these vitamins and minerals that are needed to maintain the workings of our inner body - no matter how small. Millions of people take vitamin supplements every single day. Most people don't actually need these supplements as they are usually found in a normal healthy diet. However, in today's hectic lifestyle it is not always possible to maintain a healthy daily diet and we often seek out vitamin supplements to top up any deficiencies we may have. Wheat Germ Can Be Used As A Natural Supplement As with vitamin supplements, wheat germ can be used in the same way, but in a natural form. Wheat germ is a good source of: B vitamins such as folate, niacin, thiamin, and vitamin B6 Calcium Complex carbs Fiber Iron Magnesium Manganese Omega-3 fatty acids Phosphorous Potassium Protein Selenium Vitamin E Zinc As you can see the benefits of wheat germ are quite substantial and it is particularly high in vitamin E - an antioxidant which is good for the skin and has anti-aging properties. Wheat germ also has a phytosterol content which has been shown to lower cholesterol and promote a healthy heart. In addition, wheat germ is a good source of omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids helps to lower cholesterol and blood pressure as well as being important for nervous system functioning, and help elevate mood. Wheat germ is also a good source of fiber which has many benefits including improved bowel function and may reduce the risk of developing heart disease and diabetes and prevent weight gain. Conclusion The evidence regarding the benefits of wheat germ is pretty compelling to say the least. As a natural supplement to any form of deficiencies, wheat germ is certainly worth considering. Any natural food is preferable to taking man-made supplements.

The Waratahs fought back from 14 points down at half-time to snatch a 30-27 victory over the Blues in Sydney on Sunday.
The Waratahs fought back from 14 points down at half-time to snatch a 30-27 victory over the Blues in Sydney on Sunday.
After trailing 24-10 at the interval, home fly-half Bernard Foley slotted a last-minute penalty to claim a comeback win for the under-pressure hosts.
First-half tries from hooker James Parsons, fly-half Chris Noakes and full-back Charlie Piutau put the Blues, who were seeking their first win in Sydney in ten years, firmly in control.
But the 'Tahs came roaring back in the second period, outscoring their visitors 20-3 after the interval as full-back Israel Folau and Foley added to Drew Mitchell's first-half score.
It was only the battling Waratahs' second win of the season, while the Blues fell to 2-2 this campaign.
Foley only took over the goal-kicking duties after scrum-half Brendan McKibbin was forced off with a shoulder injury 30 minutes in and kicked two conversions and two penalties from his four attempts along with a 64th minute try that levelled the scores.
Wallabies winger Mitchell put the Waratahs in front in the seventh minute after leadup work from McKibbin and former rugby league international Folau.
But the visitors from Auckland scored the next three tries through Parsons, pouncing on an error by Mitchell after a Waratahs line-out, Noakes from close range and Piutau off a dreadful handling error by replacement scrum-half Matt Lucas.
Noakes kicked the Blues to a commanding 14-point lead at the break, which was the biggest half-time deficit the Waratahs had conceded in six years.
But the Waratahs turned around the match, with Folau scoring off a forward-looking Lucas pass and Foley plunging over to level the scores.
Folau butchered a try four minutes from time and Foley missed a drop-goal attempt, before Blues lock Culum Retallick was penalised for offside and presented Foley with his match-winning penalty attempt from 36 metres out.
"We made it hard on ourselves in the first half. We started strong and played some good rugby but let them back into the game through knocking off and not working hard enough," said Waratahs skipper Dave Dennis.
"The second half was pleasing. They're a good side and to get that win means a lot for our group and helps us going forward."
Blues skipper Ali Williams lamented his side's poor second period.
"Individually we made too many mistakes and we couldn't apply the pressure over the distance," he said.
"Frustrating: it is what is when you get to Sydney, though, it's a hard battle."
The Waratahs will host Western Force in an Australian derby next Sunday, while the Blues have a New Zealand derby with the Chiefs in Mount Maunganui on Saturday.

It's been a long time since MTV has been on my radar for various reasons but Les Grossman from "Tropic Thunder" two years ago is reason enough for 3 or 4 posts. When Tom Cruise first played him back in 2008 it was to the delight of almost everyone I knew and myself. Now Les is back with more and is "producing" this years MTV Movie Awards.
The question now is can comedic lightning strike twice?

Feds Fighting Hunger!
As an employee of the Food & Nutrition Service, I see firsthand the war that is waged on hunger every single day. The number of families across the country that are food insecure is cause for concern, but we are working daily to reduce those numbers. And it's working. Starting with generous donations of food and funds supplied through numerous federal feeding programs, people nationwide are privy to not just any food, but healthy, nutritious food.
And it happens on the local level as well. In the Southwest Region of the United States, there are local partners fighting hunger in fresh and innovative ways, seeing to it that the graciously donated food items make it to as many families in need as possible. Read more »

"Runs really small. I usually wear a 8 or 8.5. I bought a 8. I couldn't even fit the palm of my foot in there. I probably would have had to get a 9. I returned them."

Go 1/2 size up
"I was hard headed and didn't follow the advice of the other shoe lovers. Definitely go up a half size. I have an 8, which is my normal size and this shoe would be far more comfy in an 8-1/2.Otherwise, this shoe is really nice. The multi-color on the bottom makes it versatile enough to wear with any number of solid colors.They are not hard to walk in at all, but the extra half size would definitely make it a perfect shoe."

Throughout the 1940s, 50s, and 60s Lincoln continued to build its brand in the luxury sedan market. They released the Continental, the Mark II, and the Mark III. The Continental was an immediate hit throughout the middle part of the twentieth century, and eventually became iconic when Lincoln constructed the vehicle with suicide doors. By the end of the 1960s Lincoln had sold over one million Continentals.
In the 1970s Lincoln introduced the Mark IV and the Versailles, the later which struggled to find consistent buyers. However, Lincoln came into its own in the early 1980s when they released the Lincoln Town Car. Long the flagship model of the Lincoln line, the Town Car was a sedan big on style, performance, and luxury. Lincoln was also innovative in safety, being the first American company to introduce anti-lock brakes on a vehicle.
Throughout the later part of the twentieth century Lincoln introduced the Navigator, taking the plunge into the high-end SUV market. The Navigator was an immediate success, and featured high-end styling including a robust engine, a leather interior, and tons of interior options.
Today Lincoln has shifted its focus to include more options on a limited line of vehicles. They no longer offer their beloved Town Car, having replaced the vehicle with the MKS sedan. The Navigator is still their most popular vehicle. What Lincoln lacks in model choices they make up for in available options and performance. Since their inception Lincoln has placed the emphasis on style, luxury, and performance, and in that regard Lincoln excels.

Comment Sought on Chain Buttes Disabled Hunter Access
The Bureau of Land Management's Lewistown Field Office is taking public comments concerning the Disabled Hunter Access/Equal Access Program Environmental Assessment (EA) #DOI-MT-L060-2012-0069-EA.
The BLM is analyzing the environmental impacts of providing additional access for people with disabilities to the BLM lands within Chain Buttes Block Management Area. The environmental assessment is a site-specific analysis of potential impacts that could result with the implementation of the alternatives.
This proposal analyzed three alternatives that addressed appropriate access for people with disabilities. The three alternatives for disabled hunters are: full motorized vehicle access, no additional motorized vehicle access, or partial motorized vehicle access.
The BLM is accepting public comment on the Chain Buttes EA thru August 12 and expects to issue a decision by August 16. The appeal period will extend through September 16.
A copy of the environmental assessment is available online at http://blm.gov/z8kd, copies may also be requested from the BLM's Lewistown Field Office, 920 NE Main St., Lewistown, MT 59457, or by calling 406-538-1900.

Robots in the pool? School program lets lessons, fun sink in
Armed with a late pass, Costa Mesa Middle School seventh-grader Skylar Manning stuck around after class, fishing rings out of the school's pool.
With a robot.
Manning and his classmates have spent several weeks at the end of a controller, piloting underwater robots they built, tested and christened themselves. Manning's group named its robot Bob.
"We fixed the propeller twice so he's fast. It fell off in the pool last week and then it fell off when we took it out of the pool. We learned we needed to let the glue set longer," he said.
They also learned how to waterproof a motor with toilet bowl cleaner, and some got soldering lessons – all part of the Costa Mesa Middle School Robotics Program, which is meant to introduce engineering to students.
Split between Erin Clark's two seventh-grade math classes, the 71 kids in the program play with 20 boxy submersibles, tailoring them for speed, maneuverability or load capacity, depending on the task at hand.
The class will run a showcase on March 8 for parents and the school, when students will demonstrate how they built the robots and compete in games: retrieving rings and magnetic objects from the bottom of the pool, doing a race and maneuvering obstacles.
But Anthony Osorio didn't think about the competition as he zip-tied a motor to his robot's chassis.
"I don't really care if we win. We're trying to have fun and to learn about the motors, how they do it in the ocean," he said.
The students do it without too much help, solving lots of problems for themselves.
"Not getting an answer is new for them," Clark said.
By consulting diagrams, collaborating with each other and drawing out plans, the students are learning problem-solving techniques, according to Wendy Marshall, the director of education and public programs for local maritime heritage group ExplorOcean.
"They're going to leave, not with a robot, but with a repertoire of (problem-solving) strategies," said Marshall.
ExplorOcean sponsors the program along with the U.S. Navy. It's a long way from "The Hunt for Red October," but the Navy has high hopes for kids like these. SeaPerch, the program that supplies schools with kits, is meant to correct a growing engineering-education gap with countries like China.
"The kids are so much more resilient and creative than you would think," Marshall said. "As adults, we've experienced failure, so we tend to think of what's going to go wrong. That's the thing the kids can use to their advantage."

Walking through Livingston County War Museum is like taking a tour of the 20th Century, including artifacts, films, books, uniforms and weapons of several wars. The museum does not glorify war, but shows the best attributes of men and women caught up in war. In doing so, we respectfully honor the service of America's veterans, and the men and women from the area who served in the military.
International Walldog Mural and Sign Art Exhibit
Exhibit featuring the history of outdoor sign and mural art. Videos, drawings, and artifacts tell the story of advertising art. Art work for sale. The International Walldog Mural & Sign Art Exhibit is dedicated to the preservation and appreciation of the outdoor wall advertising signs painted in the days before electronic mass media. The painters who created those early signs called themselves "Walldogs." The displays which are found at the museum tell the history of the early sign painters who created their art on the sides of brick buildings, barns, and other structures. Examples of those early signs can still be seen throughout the Midwest and, though faded, peeling, and sometimes barely readable, these "ghost signs" remain an important part of our collective cultural and commercial history.
Pontiac-Oakland Automobile Museum & Resource Center
The history of the Oakland and Pontiac car brands as seen through 15 classic cars, dealer artifacts, a complete print library and memorabilia. Free admission-open year round.
Three bridges which cross the Vermillion River. Built as early as 1898 and one of the most popular attractions in Pontiac. Bridge 1 connects Riverview Drive and Play Park. It was built in July 1898 by Joliet Bridge Company with an iron structure, 190 feet long and 4 feet wide and supported by cables swung from masonry piers. The current bridge is a wooden structure. Bridge 2 connects the Play Park and Chautauqua Park - Eden M. Johnson Memorial circa 1926. Bridge 3 connects the south side and Riverside-Humiston Park. It was built in connection with the adjoining park, circa 1978: Illinois Contractors, Inc.
Built in the 1850's, this home welcomed Abraham Lincoln in 1860. Among the many connections Pontiac has to Abraham Lincoln, one of the most interesting revolves around Lincoln's friendship with local attorney, Jason W. Strevell. Strevell was born in New York and migrated to Illinois in 1855. He was admitted to the Illinois bar that same year, and began his practice in Pontiac. He was involved in his legal practice here for twenty-four years. He served in the Illinois House of Representatives, and also had one term as a Senator. The house is currently being restored by the Livingston County Historical Society.
Pontiac's historic connections to Abraham Lincoln date back to Lincoln's early days as a young lawyer traveling the 8th Judicial District. Lincoln visited Pontiac many times, represented a number of local citizens in legal actions, and made connections here that helped him to rise to prominence in state and national politics. Nine outdoor story boards help tell the stories associated with Lincoln's many visits to Pontiac. Pick up a map at the Visitor Center.
Route 66 Heritage Wayside Exhibits
Five wayside story boards that highlight the history of Route 66 in Pontiac. Pick up a map at the Route 66 Museum.
Situated along the historical old route 66, this small town restaurant is authentic and rich with history. Opened in 1926 by Joe & Victor Seloti it still contains the knotty pine walls that were crafted from cedar telephone poles. Stop by to enjoy classic home cooking and take a step back in time.

Aw, she's crying.
Triple-triple combo well done, 3 sal, single axel. Nice skate by Glebova. Hope she gets 1st by now.
Don't think so, Phaneuf is better in overall skating plus the singled axel.
Glebova is 4th at the moment. Guess the single axel cost her a better placing.
Aww had to do errands today, missed cynthia Phaneuf, how did she do? Did she land the 3 lutz?
I think that so far only Cynthia secured her presence in the FS.
Guess i just missed her too bad, read the commend about hand down on lutz, still not too bad for her. Will watch it later.
Did she hit herself?
Sarah H. landed all her jumps sucessfully and looks amazingly happy with her performance.
Too bad Cynthia had to skate so early - her PCS marks are low here! They were higher at the Olympics. Too bad the draw is not by Country and the Country gets to decide which skater skates in which spot cause if Cynthia had Myriane's spot she would probably be up close to 61 points. Cause even with a clean skate Myriane is not going to place higher then Cynthia.
Aww, she's so thrilled that she landed all her jumps. Good for her.

Old Plank Road is a 21-mile recreation and nature trail used by in-line skaters, walkers, runners, bikers, bicyclists and even cross-country skiers in the winter. This trail reaches from Park Forest all the way to Joliet.
The park is named for Potter Palmer (1826–1902), a successful businessman and real estate investor concerned with the development of Chicago. Palmer was responsible for reclaiming the acres of swampland north of the city's business district, which were developed into the Lake Shore Drive area. He built the original baseball field for the Cubs' predecessor, the Chicago White Stockings, and built the Palmer House Hotel. Palmer Park was created in 1904 by the South Park Commission. Under the guidance of superintendent J. Frank Foster, the commission opened ten new neighborhood parks, including Palmer Park, in an effort to create breathing space and recreational areas in the city's crowded tenement districts. These parks were built by Olmsted Brothers landscape architects and D.H. Burnham and Co. architects.

What is your first memory of science? If your first thought is a classroom, think farther back. What about a visit to an aquarium or a zoo? Or the first time your parents explained why or how something works? Think back to your Easy-Bake Oven – chemistry! – or collecting fireflies – biology! – and you'll start to see the hidden signs of science all around you.
Like, say, learning to ride a bicycle. Did you ever wonder how it stayed upright? Yes, that's science at work. Bicycles are science wonders, get them rolling fast enough and they stay upright. You could even roll one away with no rider and the bicycle would still stay upright! The how of bicycles is attributed to gyroscopic forces and the location of the steer axis – or at least, it was attributed. A new study ("A Bicycle Can Be Self-Stable Without Gyroscopic or Caster Effects") removed both those features, and guess what? The bike still stays upright (as long as it's moving faster than 7.5 ft. per second). The study also included a long history of popular explanations for bicycles' stability, most of which dated back to more than 100 years ago! (So, when you wondered how a bicycle stayed upright, you were not alone.)
Bicycles are still a mystery but there's another childhood toy with a clear physics explanation: the yo-yo. Yo-yos are very simple toys (a length of string attached to a spool) that have been around for a long time (the ancient Greeks played with yo-yos more than 2,500 years ago!). Here's how they work: while you hold the yo-yo, preparing to drop it, the toy has a certain amount of potential energy. When you let the toy drop, the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy (energy of movement). As the string unwinds and the spool spins, the yo-yo gains angular momentum (movement of rotation), which keeps the toy spinning when it reaches the end of the string. The yo-yo rewinds when you jerk on the string – that increases the friction between the string and the spool's axle, causing it to rewind on the axle. (So, if you ever dropped a yo-yo and it did not rewind, now you know why!)
Bicyles and yo-yos are not the only toys with science explanations, check out the chemistry of playdough, the flight patterns of boomerangs, the chemistry and biology of mood rings, or the inner workings of BB guns. So, let's try that first question again. Think back to the first time you marveled at how something worked and tell us, what's your first memory of science?

Suspect Shot By Grandview Police
A suspect is hospitalized after being shot by Grandview police last night.
Police say it began when three suspects burglarized a home in the 600 block of East Third Street in Grandview.
The three made off with property and money and led police on a high speed chase before getting their car stuck.
An officer attempted to take one of the suspects, a 42-year-old man into custody, and in fear of his own life, opened fire on the suspect -- he was taken to Sunnyside Community Hospital for treatment.
A 17-year-old Wapato boy was also taken into custody, the third suspect fled.
The Yakima Police Department's Major Crimes Unit is investigating the shooting.

Valoraciones del Cliente - Estados Unidos
Just used golfshot today for the first time and it's incredible. I've tried other iPhone golf applications in the past as well as a few scoring programs for an old palm treo. Nothing compares to this program. I have a 3G iPhone and the GPS is extremely accurate and faster than expected. I didn't use the aerial views at all, the GPS list view is great. I was looking for a scoring/statistic application and thought that the GPS would be a bit gimmicky. I also wanted a Mac program for syncing the stats to the computer, but this is different. It is so much better than I expected. In case you're unsure it goes pretty much like this...
Was apprehensive, glad I got it. Very helpful tool on the course, get it, you won't be let down.
I have used this for about 20 rounds now. The first time out, there was a little learning curve to sort out. But it became a keeper by the 10th hole. Not overly burdensome with data on every shot like some apps - slows game down. Best for traveling golfer who is sees many courses.
Perfect often, but many times over 20 yards off! Like the scorecard and stats function.
This does replace GPS programs for a very fair price. Value: $300 for a gps handheld vs. $30 for my iphone and this app. I was looking to buy a golf gps handheld but this does a nice job.
Apple is smart to feature this app - it shows off everything great about the iPhone! Works great on every course I've played. Scores my entire group and sends us all an email scorecard after the round. The GPS is more detailed than any product I've ever seen...from any golf company. If you doubt paying $30 for this app, ask to see it from someone else at your course. You will be amazed!
I downloaded the app a few days ago. Right away I printed the manual and decided to learn as much about using Golfshot as I could, so I wouldn't have to fumble around on the golf course. I had read about the battery draining nature of the app so was prepared with 100% battery for my round and my setting were optimized per the manual.
I use this as a caddie and it gets me slot of tip and it's always within 10 (more often the same) yards as the marker. I don't know how to use the scorecard but I like the rest of it.
I bought this app last season and have been thoroughly happy. The only problem I ran into is the Overhead view would not pickup in NE alot but in NC it was better and I think that quern was worked out in an update. Very very happy.
Have used app twice and love it!
I have bought and tries several golf gps apps including viewTI and Pro Creative Golf 10 (which is gorgeous, but lacking substance).
I have bought and tries several golf gps apps including viewTI and Pro Creative Golf 10 (which is gorgeous, but lacking substance).
I have been using this app for about 6 months and it is awesome. I even have course that wasn't on here and they gave me directions to have it added. Even helped me map it by GPS so I could get distances. (No updated satellite view yet.) I have even made suggestions of things I'd like to see and as with every thing else they have been very quick to reply. And I have used it in multiple locations and states. And I love getting the results emailed to me. I hope they keep up the great work!!!!
This is the best app on my iPhone. Very easy to use and the entire user manual is available quickly with the press of one button on the main screen. User manual available as a PDF online, also. GPS feature, aerial view, and instant email of scorecard can't be beat by any other device or app. Stats tracking helps improve your game quickly. Scoring and stat tracking are very fast and easy. Check your past performance on each hole before you tee off and strive to improve. Adding golfers is intuitive and super fast. Select their name from your address book and you're done. NEVER hangs or crashes. Take a call and get back to the app quickly and reliably, right where you left off.
This I a great app! The best app for the $. I love every part about it... I tryed fold shot and this is way better for the $. A golfers must buy!
This app is the best ever. If you play golf often it is a must have. The GPS might take a little while to load but it isn't too bad at all. I played a full round on about a 6500 yard course and I still have a little more than 50% battery life. Personally I don't have to use it for every shot. If I was on a par 5 and I knew I was 250-270 yards out I didn't use it I just knew I needed a 3 wood. The scoring is completely awesome and the stats are unbelievable. All in all if you are an avid golfer this app is a must have.
This is hands down the best golf gps o have I have ever used
I won't repeat all the good things about this app. I agree with all the positive reviews here. Definitely worth the 30 bucks.
Get Golfshot, its great. But I was just thinking...
With the average iphone owner regularly using only about 7 to 10 apps on their iphone, well, Golfshot GPS is part of my short list. I use it every time I play. Here are the 'pros':
I bought this app 2 weeks ago and finally got to use it this past weekend. It Worked much better than expected and I was sceptical. Two of my golf partners now have on their phone and they too were sceptical when they heard the price. The yardage matched exactly to the markers in the fairway. As for the battery, mine was almost drained at the end of the round. I started locking my phone between holes beginning at number 13 to conserve since I read that the GPS took up to a minute to lock on, but mine only took 3-5 seconds to lock on. My phone is a 3G. Does anyone know how many rounds you have to play before it figures your handicap? Bottom line- this is the best 29 dollars I've ever spent
This app is excellent.
This does everything they do and costs 90% less! My golf buddies were drooling at the scorecard that was emailed to them after the round and the distances were the same as my friends skycaddie.
This is truly a great app for the golf lover, however it has one serious drawback. Navigating from hole to hole is cumbersome and tiresome. I play in a lot of shotguns in which I start on later holes. When I finish hole 18 I move onto hole 1. The app makes me cycle all the way backwards to hole 1! And forget about it if I've made a scoring error on 18!! I'd have to cycle all the way back!!! This a serious oversight that desperately need to be corrected.
Application was recommended by a cousin of mine and I absolutely love it. Easy to use score tracking, aerial view, and GPS tools makes this an inexpensive life saver on the golf course.

As late summer rolls in and the days get hotter Elle Magazine takes us on a mini getaway to the breezy country-side for a dose of fresh air in this editorial shot by Horst Diekgerdes featuring model Jessica Hart. The title says it all as the gap-toothed hottie has got the Red Hot Blues sporting some killer looks showcasing some the upcoming fall season's ultra-rustic denim workwear. And though you wont find any signs of harsh labor on this girls denim jumpsuit (lets not forget this is a getaway) you're sure to find lots of red and a bit a pink, sexy lace, and a dash of fur just in case the night gets a little chilly.

HVAC Show Gains Increasing Interest & Participation as Industry Demand Hots Up Green Technology Features Highly at HVAC Show in SingaporeTuesday, June 15th, 2010
Singapore, June 2010: HVAC Asia 2010 is all set to return from 1 – 3 September, 2010 at the newly-built Marina Bay Sands Singapore, for its 8th staging.
It is highly regarded, by the industry, as South East Asia's key international exhibition on air-conditioning, heating, ventilation, air-filtration & purification systems and technology. This leading trade show has time and time again proven itself to be the fertile ground for launching new products, reaching out to buyers, appointing agents & distributors, building brand awareness and establishing business networks in South East Asia's once again booming economy!
HVAC Asia 2010, held in conjunction with Refrigeration Asia 2010 aims to present the best business solutions, products and services to propel business and ventures for the South-East Asia's HVACR industry. HVAC Asia 2010 and Refrigeration Asia 2010 mark a timely return in September 2010 in view of the recent geopolitical changes and trends that indicate that green building is here to stay. Never before in the history of mankind have leaders of the world from New York, Copenhagen, Kyoto to Macau gathered with such urgency, ambition and purpose for seeking consensus in the application of their respective influences in political and economic geography for the cooperative development of national and foreign policies for driving forward critical issues of climate change and industrial development.
As much as climate change is a hot issue, the burgeoning human populations that places greater pressures on the ecosystem, have reached a scale where abrupt global environmental change can be expected and that demands solutions. And in all of this, the role that the built environment exerts becomes ever more crucial. It is one of the manmade environments, along with agriculture, that mostalters Earth's geophysical processes. With all the changes afoot today in both the real estateeconomy and national governments, the question in the minds of many is on how to develop andcater for emerging sustainable development issues.
These issues would be discussed by leading experts and industry captains at the HVAC Asia 2010 Industry Conference. The conference is all geared to address three significant sectors covering sustainable development issues i.e. (a) current developments, (b) efficient use of energy and (c) performance optimisation alternatives that include topics such as building green cities – a reality in the making, how the $54 billion HVAC industry supply chain affects climate change, integrating HVAC structures between contractor and the builder, the IECC (International Energy Conservation Code – what it means to the industry and businesses, maximizing value and minimizing costs in green buildings, HCFC22 phase out, retrofit and the future of refrigerants and much, much more. Exhibitors, trade visitors, and delegates can expect to achieve the highest exposure possible at the event with manufacturers and suppliers having good opportunities to reach out to targeted groups ofkeen buyers for products, services and technology in the HVAC industries.
Ms Theresa Gan, Group Exhibitions Director, attributed the rapidly growing interest from HVAC companies to participate in the show as being largely due to "companies are now more aware of the urgency and importance of climate change and its effects. They also realize how serious governments worldwide are on this issue and of the possible ramifications to their equipment, products and services. HVAC industries are ready to face these challenges. They are striving to reengineer more environmentally suitable products as well as quickly reach out to their markets. And HVAC Asia 2010 therefore provides them the ideal marketplace gateway to showcase their latest andbest technology, equipment and products�.
Complementing HVAC Asia 2010 is Refrigeration Asia 2010 which is geared to meet the high demand for refrigeration and cooling equipment at both the consumer and industry sectors. Climate change wreaking heat waves in many parts of the world is a major contributor to this situation. People need and naturally look for comfortable temperatures, humidity, and air conditioning and also circulation in their homes, offices, stores, and even factories. In other words, both residential and non-residential buildings require appropriate heating, ventilating, and cooling.
The market for refrigeration, whether at consumer or industrial levels, has grown substantially over the years. The huge growth and changing patterns of urbanization in Asia requires new equipment and technology to meet this constantly growing demand. Areas of substantial growth include the food and beverage industry in terms of food handling, food processing, food packaging, food storage and cold chain equipment. Food storage and transportation applications are highly necessary for Asian countries which export food as the main industry sector. Refrigeration Asia 2010 is also aimed at meeting the high demand for refrigeration equipment from the regional food and beverage industry. There is an enormous potential in supplying refrigeration equipment solutions and applications to these industries and countries/regions. Global industry buyers across all food manufacturing, processing and hospitality industries are expected to attend Refrigeration Asia 2010 for all their sourcing needs.
Concurrent Event
Endorsing this view is Ms Rosalind Ng, Managing Director of IIR exhibitions, who commented, "Climate concerns, new government regulations, new industry directives, new energy efficient technologies and applications, higher consumer demands, increased competition and greater professional accountability are behind an unprecedented change in HVAC, refrigeration and related industries and I am glad that the Industry Conference held in conjunction with the Exhibition will address these issue".
HVAC Asia 2010 and Refrigeration Asia 2010 are the ideal marketing platforms to launch and expand business in Asia's heating, ventilation, air-conditioning & refrigeration and cooling industries.� Dedicated to addressing the needs of the HVACR industry business, both events will provide trade visitors with all the latest in industry's facts, knowledge, insights, networks and contacts to exploit & capitalize on the many business opportunities that are becoming increasingly available.

Could there be a more pointless, wholly created controversy than the Great Twinkie Debacle of 2010. For all those out of the loop, the guys at Puck Daddy have gone over all the gory details, made all the appropriate jokes and put everyone firmly in their place.
The point is, can we even say anything anymore. More and more it seems, that we can DO almost anything, that any action is forgivable, but to say something, now you're in trouble. I prefer the old days where sticks and stones and their accompanying broken bones were to be avoided. Words? Who gave a (redacted word with the magical power to offend).
Does anyone truly believe that little Darren Pang was trying to be malicious? Oops, I think I may have just offended the little people community. Now, they're gonna be knocking down the doors at Canucks Army HQ shouting and screaming like a bunch of poncy hair dressers. Darn it, now the Poncy Hair Dressers Union is calling me out on my unfair characterisation and demanding my resignation. I'll just sit here patiently and await the call from the producers of Spinal Tap, wanting a full written apology for using one of their lines of dialogue in an unprovoked attack on little hair dressers the world over.
I think I'll just quit now and enjoy a twinkie.
April 28 2010, 02:33PM
Excuse me but I am a person who happens to live in the little people community and I'm also a hairdresser. I find your remarks hurtful and very offensive! Once I can reach the door to you HQ I shall be Knocking it down,so beware! Lol

ION™ Paclitaxel-Eluting Coronary Stent System (Monorail and Over-the-Wire Delivery Systems) - P100023/S015
This is a brief overview of information related to FDA's approval to market this product for an expanded indication. See the links below to the Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data (SSED) and product labeling for more complete information on this product, its indications for use, and the basis for FDA's approval.
Product Name: ION™ Paclitaxel-Eluting Coronary Stent System (Monorail and Over-the-Wire Delivery Systems)
PMA Applicant: Boston Scientific Corporation
Address: One Boston Scientific Place, Natick, MA 01760-1537
Approval Date: February 22, 2012
Approval Letter: http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/cdrh_docs/pdf10/p100023s015a.pdf
What is it? The ION™ Paclitaxel-Eluting Coronary Stent is a metal stent with a drug (paclitaxel) contained in a thin coating on the stent's surface. The stent is mounted on a folded balloon attached to a catheter delivery system for placement into a coronary artery (blood vessel supplying blood to the heart). The ION™ stent is already FDA-approved for certain uses, and uses the same drug-coating formulation as the TAXUS® Express2® and TAXUS® Liberté® stents.
How does it work?
- A catheter with a deflated balloon at its tip is inserted into a blood vessel in the arm or groin, and advanced within the vessel to the narrowed or blocked section of the coronary artery.
- The balloon is inflated to open the artery by pushing the plaque against the artery wall (a procedure known as balloon angioplasty. The balloon is then deflated and removed from the artery.
- Then the stent, mounted on another deflated balloon catheter (the stent delivery catheter), is advanced through the same vessel and positioned within the expanded coronary artery. The balloon is inflated, which expands the stent and presses it against the coronary artery wall. This may be followed by repeat balloon inflations within the stent to achieve the desired stent expansion.
- The stent remains permanently implanted within the coronary artery to help keep the artery open. The balloon is deflated and removed from the patient. The drug (paclitaxel) is released over time into the artery wall around the stent to help prevent the vessel from narrowing again.
When is it used? The stent is used in patients who have a narrowing or blockage in their coronary arteries (blood vessels supplying blood to the heart) caused by atherosclerosis -- the collection of fatty substances such as cholesterol that forms "plaque" along the lining of the arteries. Plaque is made up of fatty deposits (cholesterol), white blood cells, calcium, and other substances that collect over time in the wall of a coronary artery. If these arteries become blocked or narrowed, treatment may be required to improve blood flow and increase the supply of oxygen to the heart. This approval expands the list of FDA-approved uses of the ION™ stent to include treatment of patients after a heart attack (ST-elevation myocardial infarction, or STEMI).
What will it accomplish? Placement of a stent within a narrowed or blocked coronary artery opens the artery allowing more blood flow to the heart. If the narrowing is not treated, it can cause chest pain (angina) or can lead to a heart attack or even death. Sometimes, after a coronary artery stent procedure, the artery can narrow again. The drug (paclitaxel) is released over time from the stent surface into the nearby artery wall to help prevent re-narrowing of the vessel.
When should it not be used? The ION™ Paclitaxel-Eluting Coronary Stent System should not be used in patients:
- who cannot take aspirin or blood-thinning medicine.
- who have an allergy to the metal in the stent, the drug paclitaxel (or related drugs), or the polymers used to coat the stent.
- who have a blockage in the coronary artery that will not allow complete inflation of the balloon or proper placement of the stent.
