Force a shopper to enter too much info and you may lose him.
The recent story on PayPal beta testing a mobile version of its Express Checkout service underscores just how important it is to have a very speedy checkout process in place on a mobile commerce site or a mobile app. Speed is fundamental to the mobile web: People aren't leisurely browsing on their PC, they're trying to accomplish something on their phone. And they want to accomplish their task fast.
With Mobile Express Checkout, when a shopper gets to checkout on a retailer's mobile site, she selects PayPal and is sent to a PayPal page where she enters her user name and password and selects buy, triggering her default shipping and billing information to be used by the retailer's m-commerce site. That's fast. And that's what m-commerce checkout needs to be.
Believe it or not, there are faster methods. Amazon.com enables a customer to register his phone with the retailer and then associate the phone number with the customer's Amazon account, where default billing and shipping information is kept. On Amazon's m-commerce site and mobile app pages, once registered, all a customer need do is touch the buy button and they're done. That's called 1-click checkout and is the ultimate checkout experience in mobile. In fact, there's at least one technology provider, Billing Revolution, that specializes in enabling 1-click checkout for m-commerce sites.
So remember when building or redesigning m-commerce sites and apps that if you want to avoid cart abandonment and greatly boost conversion, make sure your checkout process is faster than a speeding bullet. For if a competitor enables customers to simply sign in to their existing account and select Buy and you have shoppers entering every piece of billing and shipping information manually, you're in danger of losing customers, who may go to that competitor to complete their order on the go.

When it comes to Kliff Kingsbury, it's way too easy to focus on the peripheral. Maybe because it's measurably true: Texas Tech's coach is hotter than your coach. But the real beauty is in what he's done in his first seven games as a head coach.
RELATED: Texas Tech coach looks like Ryan Gosling
Texas Tech might be the most improbable unbeaten in major college football, considering the No. 9 Red Raiders have done it largely with true freshman quarterbacks. Kingsbury's work with Baker Mayfield (a walk-on) and then with Davis Webb should probably be evaluated in light of his previous tutelage of Case Keenum at Houston and Johnny Manziel at Texas A&M; it's very possible he is a quarterback whisperer. But clearly, Texas Tech's early success is more than quarterbacks.
Texas Tech is an unexpected contender for the Big 12 championship and a potential late entrant into the BCS title race. But the 7-0 record has been built on a pillowy soft schedule (the Red Raiders' four victories over Big 12 opponents are a combined 9-17 overall and 2-12 in league play). Only Texas State (4-3) has a winning record. The schedule is backloaded; starting Saturday at No. 12 Oklahoma, Texas Tech faces the other four contenders in a wide-open league race, with only Kansas State looking like a sure win. But win in Norman, and it will be time to stop noting Kingsbury's remarkable resemblance to Ryan Gosling and just recognize the guy can coach.
TOP 10 TEAMS: Who did they beat to get there?
EXPERT PICKS: Week 9 winners and losers
Here are nine other teams with something to prove:
Oregon State
It's easy to understand why Oregon State, despite six consecutive victories and a potent offense led by a Heisman candidate, is not ranked. That 49-46 loss to FCS opponent Eastern Washington will sting for a long, long time. But here comes No. 8 Stanford. Junior quarterback Sean Mannion, the nation's leading passer, has been routinely spectacular. His favorite target, junior receiver Brandin Cooks, has been just as good. If they connect enough to beat the Cardinal, voters might not forget Eastern Washington, but they'll begin to forgive.
The Tigers should beat Maryland. The talent discrepancy is large enough, it shouldn't be close. But we'll watch to see how they respond after suffering that home beatdown in what was supposed to be a BCS showdown with Florida State. Does Clemson bounce back? Or does it pull a "Clemson"?
The Pac-12 schedule-makers didn't do UCLA any favors in setting up back-to-back road games at powers Stanford and Oregon. But look at it this way: After getting shut down by Stanford, the No. 11 Bruins get another shot on an even bigger stage. ESPN's College GameDay hype machine will be in Eugene, willing and able to turn an upset by the Bruins into the story of a rapid rise of the UCLA program under Jim Mora Jr. and to jumpstart sophomore quarterback Brett Hundley's Heisman campaign a week later than he anticipated. Or else, like Washington a few weeks ago after the same gauntlet, the Bruins will slink back to subsidiary status in the Pac-12.
When the Vols almost beat Georgia in overtime, it seemed like a good sign Butch Jones had the program on the right track. Then they hauled off and beat South Carolina, and there's not much doubt – never mind that the SEC East was overrated, it's clear the Vols are clawing their way back. Now comes No. 1 Alabama, and a much more difficult challenge. Around the country, people will inevitably – and unfairly – compare the results to that 59-14 loss Sept. 14 at Oregon, trying to figure out what it means in the BCS race. Better, though, to keep it specific, and measure Tennessee's progress by Alabama.
It has been more than a month since the Huskers blew that big lead and lost to UCLA, which was followed by the anonymous release of a two-year-old audio tape in which Bo Pelini ranted profanely against Nebraska fans. Three quiet victories have probably been exactly what the program – or at least, Pelini – needed. Regardless of the quarterback, most goals – the realistic ones – remain intact for No. 21 Nebraska, which is in position to win the Big Ten Legends Division. Winning at Minnesota, which is coming off a nice win at Northwestern, would be the first step in a difficult homestretch. The Huskers could be bolstered by the return of quarterback Taylor Martinez, who's been out since the UCLA game with turf toe.
Texas A&M
We don't know about Johnny Manziel's health after he injured his right (throwing) shoulder in a loss last week to Auburn. There's no way to predict how the Aggies will respond after having their SEC West and BCS championship hopes dashed. Everything was hunky-dory with Johnny Football zipping here, there and everywhere. If he's not whole, Texas A&M's defense, which has struggled all season, will be under more pressure to stop Vanderbilt.
South Carolina
It has been a topsy-turvy season for the head ball coach and his team, from controversy over the conditioning and health of defensive star Jadeveon Clowney – some of it generated by Steve Spurrier himself – to an unexpected loss last week to Tennessee. Making matters worse, quarterback Connor Shaw suffered a knee injury and won't play this week. To have any hope of winning the SEC East, the Gamecocks must win at No. 7 Missouri. That seems a lot more difficult now than it would have a few weeks ago.
Ed Orgeron's interim takeover of the USC program started really well, with fatty foods and fun back on the menu – and most important, a feel-good victory over Arizona. But was that a one-hit wonder? The good vibes might have evaporated in a 14-10 loss at Notre Dame, when the Trojans managed just 121 total yards in the second half and were 2-of-13 in third-down conversions, with 11 penalties. Utah has a win over Stanford, which shows the Utes might be building something in their third year in the Pac-12. But no matter who is USC's coach, home losses to Washington State and Utah wouldn't go over well.
As the calendar turns to mid-October, things are exciting around Durham, N.C. – and not just because of hoops. David Cutcliffe's football Blue Devils are in pursuit of their second consecutive bowl game, which would be a program first. No. 19 Virginia Tech is a pretty big challenge, but if the Blue Devils achieve bowl eligibility Saturday, they could begin aiming higher.

Not sure if they were worth the pain
"I rarely find a pair of shoes that are really uncomfortable. I think Easter was a bad time to try to break these in. I ordered the pink which I love and with the rhinestone buckle look on the side they were glamorous. But definitely cut off my circulation in my feet and left my soles in pain."

Ungainly Grace
"I ordered this shoe in Pink & size 11.I do not get this shoe at all. it is simply awkward.It must have been built for a certain kind of foot and it is highly likely that even the aforesaid foot will not sit well in it.The buckle is nothing to write home about in the context of its comparative price.Good looking {from afar} but with noting to offer the wearer. Fitting is lacking. Comfort is lacking. Stability is lacking etcI shall refrain and conclude that this shoe does not afford its wearer any manner of grace!Will not recommend."

Have to return
"I bought these shoes for my wedding, with the objective of being comfortable in really pretty shoes. The pretty part they definitely fit well into, but I will not last in these even 10 minutes, and probably fall on my face when the really skinny heel gets caught on my dress. Unfortunately, they have to go back."

Victim's brother provides details, last paragraph
Santo Domingo.- The embattled ex Major League pitcher Pascual (Cuta) Perez was killed Thursday during an armed robbery at his residence in the town of Haina, 10 miles west of the capital.
The hurler received his Major League Baseball pension money yesterday, and the likely motive for the fatal assault and a stab wound to the neck. He was reportedly suffering from an ailment at the time of the attack.
A 12- year veteran of the Dominican Winter League, Perez pitched eight seasons with Santiago's Aguilas and four with Santo Domingo's Tigres, racking up 44 wins and a 2.86 ERA to become one of the best Dominican pitchers.
In the U.S. Perez played with the Pittsburgh Pirates, Atlanta Braves, Montreal Expos and the New York Yankees, in addition to the 1983 MLB All-Star Game.
Among "Cuta's" antics were getting lost on the way to the stadium, often showing up late for practice, and goofy expressions on the diamond.
His two brothers, Mélido and Carlos, as well as his cousin Vladimir, also made it to the Majors.
Melido Perez said his brother, 54, was murdered 5am today. He said he suffered from a terminal liver disease.

Regrettably it is a reflection of life in and around Haina...RIP
so true. Haina is the as*hole of the area.
It was exhilarating to watch him..
He was very good and people in USA LOVE him..Everytime he pitched , he made mimics of the bater he just strike out.. wether he likes it or not..The first time in baseball history to do that..
And US press was all over him..
RIP Cuta, thanks for the memories
I remember that episode of Carlos with the Atlanta Braves, it was so funny. The Braves never got over Carlos not showing up on time, and where prejudice for many years to Latin players.
It's so sad that his fall years ended up so tragically, I hope that the criminals are found, and swift "hot -lead" justice is delivered promptly.

you old Londoner, you...lol
I hope they catch the cowards responsible!
I remember living in Santiago he used to be a legend. PASCUAL CUTA PEREZ. He had a circle changeup that could go all the way to the moon and then comeback for a strike. The good old day when we used to go from los ciruelitos all the way to the estadio cibao passing thru los platanito looking at the big Cro along the way in pueblo nuevo. Pay a bleacher ticket wait for the national anthen to jump into a seat behind home play. It bring nostalgia. Rest in peace Cuta.

Our planet is so beautiful and fragile. This video makes it obvious that we are impacting our finite world.
When I was young America went to the moon. We were promised a future world of flying cars, trips to mars, and unlimited possibilities.
Instead we have endless wars, increasing uneasiness, and a poverty of vision.
Why aren't we expanding out into the universe?
I propose that we declare victory and end all the wars (terror, poverty, drugs, Afghanistan, etc.) and start getting off this little planet.
It is the only way growth can continue.

St. Paul's Second Letter to the Corinthians 10:7-18
Prokeimenon. Mode 4.
Psalm 18.4,1
Their voice has gone out into all the earth.
Verse: The heavens declare the glory of God.
BRETHREN, if any one is confident that he is Christ's, let him remind himself that as he is Christ's, so are we. For even if I boast a little too much of our authority, which the Lord gave for building you up and not for destroying you, I shall not be put to shame. I would not seem to be frightening you with letters. For they say,"His letters are weighty and strong, but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech of no account." Let such people understand that what we say by letter when absent, we do when present. Not that we venture to class or compare ourselves with some of those who commend themselves. But when they measure themselves by one another, and compare themselves with one another, they are without understanding. But we will not boast beyond limit, but will keep to the limits God has apportioned us, to reach even to you. For we are not overextending ourselves, as though we did not reach you; we were the first to come all the way to you with the gospel of Christ. We do not boast beyond limit, in other men's labors; but our hope is that you may be greatly enlarged, so that we may preach the gospel in lands beyond you, without boasting of work already done in another's field. "Let him who boasts, boast of the Lord." For it is not the man who commends himself that is accepted, but the man whom the Lord commends.

This incredibly popular Swiss chocolate is now available to buy within our collection, and including many luxury chocolates from Lindt that are not available through supermarkets and large multiples. We do however include many of Lindt's best sellers such as Lindor milk chocolate truffles and their range of Excellence bars and seasonal chocolates. We would class Lindt as a luxury chocolate brand within the marketplace and due to their mass production, a more cost effective option appealing to more price concious chocolate lovers of all ages.

The story of LIndt began in a small pastry shop on Marktgasse in Zurich's old town in 1845. Confectioner David Sprüngli-Schwarz and his 29 year old son Rudolf Sprüngli-Ammann, who also trained to be a confectioner, dared to do something new: they decided to make chocolate. In particular and in keeping with the new fashion that came from Italy –solid chocolate bars. Up to that point people knew chocolate almost exclusively as a drink. The new chocolate treat quickly became popular among the fine Zurich society so that the chocolate factory had to be moved after just 2 years from the tiny bakery in Zurich to a small factory with water on tap in Horgen on the upper shores of Lake Zurich. Up to ten people were already employed there.
In 1859 father and son Sprüngli opened a second, large pastry shop on Paradeplatz in Zurich. After the death of his father in 1862 the son continued to expand the business – which was located in a booming area next to a bank, a luxury hotel and the stock market. As early as 1870 more space was needed to make the chocolate so they moved back to Zurich – to the "Werdmühle". Around a decade later Sprüngli already employed around 80 people and supplied chocolates and pralines to many European countries and even to India.
When Rudolf Sprüngli withdrew from business life in 1892 he divided the company between his two sons. The younger son, David Robert, received the two confectioner shops, the larger of which on Paradeplatz bloomed magnificently. Under him and his successor, who all came from the family, it became a business that was known and recognised around the world. The older brother, Johann Rudolf Sprüngli-Schifferli, received the chocolate factory. The far-sighted businessman who was willing to take risks from the very outset, increased the size of the factory facilities at "Werdmühle" and updated their technology.
But the location did not permit further expansion; the city of Zurich was also expanding rapidly at that time and the city authorities planned new buildings for the Werdmühle site. Therefore in 1898 Sprüngli started to build a completely new factory on land in Kilchberg at the shores of Lake Zurich and it started up operations in 1899.
To secure the finance for this large-scale project the privately-owned company was converted into a public limited company called "Chocolat Sprüngli AG". And the company has never left this location on the left bank of Lake Zurich to this very day.
In the same year "Chocolat Sprüngli AG" bought the Berne-based chocolate factory including the exclusive manufacturing secrets and the famous brand from Rodolphe Lindt, who had developed "conching" in 1879 – the method of producing chocolate that was then far ahead of its time in terms of aroma and melting qualities. His fine melting chocolate, which he called "chocolat fondant" quickly became famous and made a key contribution to the global reputation of Swiss chocolate. The company was later renamed "Chocoladefabriken Lindt & Sprüngli AG" and produced the innovative chocolates both in Berne and Kilchberg. The two partners, Lindt und Sprüngli, ran the businesses together. It was successful – but not always easy.
Only two years after buying the valuable manufacturing secrets from Rodolphe Lindt the second edition of "Die Schokoladenfabrikation" (Darmstadt) expert book was published and it described the manufacture of "chocolats fondants" using conches.
It was in 1905 when Rodolphe Lindt and his relatives August and Walter Lindt completely separated from the company as a result of differences in opinion. Shortly thereafter however, the latter opened a new chocolate factory "A. & W. Lindt" in Berne in breach of the agreement signed. Sprüngli sued, which cost a great deal of money and nerves on his part, but it took until 1928 to have the company liquidated. Today we know that this investment has paid off for Sprüngli: apart from the know-how the LINDT brand alone was worth the purchase price.
In the first 20 years of the new century the Swiss chocolate industry experienced unimaginable heydays; especially when it came to exports Lindt & Sprüngli played an important role in this upturn. Around 1915 the company exported around three quarters of its chocolate production to about 20 countries around the world.
In the years between 1920 and 1945 the company was subject to massive challenges. Global protectionism and the economic crises in the 1920s and 30s gradually resulted in the complete loss of all international markets; the company had to reorganise completely and concentrate on the slowly developing Swiss market.
The Second World War resulted in tough import restrictions on sugar and cocoa and also rationing in 1943. Although sales did not increase between 1919 and 1946, Lindt & Sprüngli survived all of these crises, thanks mainly to consistent adherence to the quality principle - since consumers were hardly able to buy chocolate they should at least have some of the best!
After the war demand rose again quickly; first at home and then abroad.To keep up with the rapid growth in demand and markets the now out-of-date machines had to be replaced and the factory enlarged. The company signed promising licensing agreements with the aim of establishing a foothold in other countries: 1947 in Italy, 1950 in Germany, 1954 in France. The company also expanded in the domestic market: in 1961 the company acquired Chocolat Grison in Chur, in 1971 Nago Nährmittel AG in Olten and Chocoladefabrik Gubor in Langenthal. All three were fully integrated into the company as branches in 1971.
The establishment of an international group of companies began in 1977 with the take-over of the shareholdings of the French licensee. In 1986 followed the acquisition of the German LINDT business and the establishment of "Chocoladefabriken Lindt & Sprüngli GmbH" in Aachen, followed by the opening of a factory there in 1988. Also in 1986 Lindt & Sprüngli (USA), Inc. – founded already in 1925 in New York – was re-activated to assume the LINDT business in the USA. In 1989 the production and administration buildings in Stratham, NH, came into operation.

People often discuss how sleep -- and often lack thereof -- can affect work performance. However, not as many people are studying how work impacts the ability to sleep.
Research from the University of Pennsylvania published in SLEEP found that work time is the largest influence on how long an individual sleeps on both work and leisure days. It's not just in North America, either. A 2005 study found that 36 percent of women in Finland had trouble sleeping at least once a week that year; 27 percent of men in the study said the same. But just six years prior in 1999, only 26 percent of women and 20 percent of men were reporting sleep problems once a week in the country. Experts suggest the reason for this drastic change can be attributed to both occupational stress and abnormal working hours.
Similar to how stress affects sleep, work has profound implications on sleep as well. When their schedule calls for it, shift workers must alter their body's natural circadian rhythm in order to switch from sleeping at night to day. Some employees work long hours with only short bursts of sleep available before they have to report back to work the next day.
According to the Better Sleep Council, sleep deprivation currently costs U.S. businesses nearly $150 billion annually in absenteeism and lost productivity. It may pay for employees and workers to collaborate on the best strategies for improving morale and performance by matching working hours with sleeping habits. This way each gets the best of both worlds.
Not getting enough sleep can impact personal health in many ways, including:
* Elevated risk of getting major illnesses, including cancer, diabetes, obesity, and heart disease.
* Inability to concentrate or poor decision-making.
* Putting the body in a state of high alert, increasing the production of stress hormones.
* Weight gain, either through stress or eating at times when the body is not accustomed to eating.
* Affecting skin and other tissue appearance.
* Poor reaction times, which can lead to accidents.
* Increased risk of developing mental health issues, such as depression and anxiety.
While there is no magic number, sleep experts say a person needs between 7 and 9 hours of sleep every night to function at his or her prime. Individuals should also make efforts to improve their quality of sleep. Here are a few ways to do so.
* Invest in a new mattress if yours is old and no longer comfortable. This will alleviate twisting and turning -- and potentially waking -- from an uncomfortable mattress.
* Keep the bedroom for sleep and intimacy only. If there are stressors or stimulating things in the room, like a computer or television, they may impact sleep.
* Limit caffeine intake, particularly several hours before bedtime.
* Maintain a regular sleep-wake schedule each and every day -- even on the weekend.
* If you are having trouble falling or staying asleep, consult with a doctor. Insomnia is very common, and there are different treatment options that can help you get rest.
Sleep and work are often intertwined and can impact each other. Because sleep is vital for maintaining health, it's important to strike a balance so that sleep can be achieved.

Enrique Iglesias doesn't waste any time getting to the point on his tenth full-length album, SEX AND LOVE [Republic Records].
Instead, he reaches right for the heart of what's on everyone's mind with the provocative title. The Grammy Award-winning international icon knows how to satisfy those universal, unanimous urges we all have, and he does so with his boldest offering yet.
"I wanted to be straightforward," he declares. "The title describes exactly what the album is about. From day one, I knew that I was going to call it SEX AND LOVE. You're going to find songs that mix the two sides, and you're going to find songs that focus on one or the other. Some of it is fun and obviously sexual, while some of it is more introspective and nostalgic. The words go together, but they can be separate and inspire different feelings and thoughts. It's all-encompassing."
In late 2012, Enrique wrapped up a two-year whirlwind supporting the double-platinum Euphoria, which itself yielded the inescapable quadruple-platinum smash "I Like It" featuring Pitbull. Instead of taking an extended break, he got right back in the studio and began working on ideas for what would eventually become his next effort. The titular ideas remained pervasive for him throughout the entire process though.
"When you turn on the radio, what are the themes that everybody relates to?" he asks. "We all relate to SEX AND LOVE. That's why when you hear music—ninety-percent of the time—it derives from those two feelings. Let's face it. No matter what race, nationality, or religion you are, you have experience with both and you like them!"
Capturing that sexual energy, the 2014 single "I'm a Freak" proved to be a major catalyst for him. Produced by The Cataracs, the song shimmies from a slippery beat into one of Enrique's wildest refrains ever. The chorus's confession, "I'm a Freak", immediately seduces before Pitbull enters with a rapid, raw, and raucous verse.
"To me, 'I'm a Freak' got the whole thing started," says Enrique. "It's got a retro feel, yet it's obviously up-tempo and danceable. It put me in a good mood, and it's fun. We didn't overthink it. From there, the rest of the album kept evolving."
His own artistic evolution becomes clear on the likes of "Let Me Be Your Lover". With a funky swagger, the track sees the singer's dynamic voice take the spotlight as he coyly admits, "Cuz I've been spending all my money on these pretty girls and alcohol, but honey, they got nothing on you". Meanwhile, on "Loco", Enrique and longtime friend Romeo Santos get crazy, churning out another Latin massive anthem in the process. Kylie Minogue makes a stunning turn on "Beautiful", as the melody lives up to the song's name. "It happened really organically," he goes on. "Kylie heard it in the studio, and she ended up loving it. She sang her parts, and everything fit so well." SEX AND LOVE also brings a dream to life for the artist as he finally gets the chance to collaborate with the legendary Marco Antonio Solis. Together, their voices entwine for one of the album's most powerful, passionate, and poignant moments.
"That guy is someone I look up to and admire so much," smiles Enrique. "I've wanted to do something with him forever, but it was just never the right time or moment. I sent him the song, and I was so nervous. He called me up an hour later, and he laid down the vocals the same night. When you're making an album, it's moments like this one that bring so much satisfaction." However, he himself never fails to satisfy. His overall sales surpass 100 million albums worldwide, making him one of the best-selling Spanish artists ever. His legacy includes five Top 5 singles on the Billboard Hot 100 with two landing at #1. He also boasts 13 number ones on the Billboard Dance Chart, which is the most for any male performer in the chart's history. In total, he's enjoyed seventy number ones across all Billboard charts. Plus, he holds the record for "Most #1 Spanish Language Singles" on the Hot Latin Tracks Chart with 23. He's not slowing down or stopping any time soon though.
SEX AND LOVE is something that his audience wants—and even needs. "When people listen to the album, I hope they can forget whatever's going on and just enjoy it," concludes Enrique. "Maybe, it will bring them back to good times or memories. I want everybody to be entertained and have a good time. It's meant to be an experience and an escape."

Skip to comments.HIV Rate Up 12 Percent Among Young Gay Men
Posted on 06/27/2008 12:16:44 AM PDT by Pinkbell
The number of young homosexual men being newly diagnosed with HIV infection is rising by 12 percent a year, with the steepest upward trend in young black men, according to a new report.
The double-digit increase in young gay men is about 10 times higher than in the homosexual community overall, where the number of new infections is going up about 1.5 percent a year.
The report, released yesterday by the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, appears to confirm impressions that a "second-wave" AIDS epidemic is underway in gay America.
(Excerpt) Read more at washingtonpost.com ...
"HIV Rate Up 12 Percent Among Young Gay Men"
Idiotic choices in life have consequences.
Please, God help us.
Oh, wait...!
The sun will rise tomorrow.
""I can remember going to a funeral every four or five days. Now, if you talk to some of these young men, they say, 'If I do get infected, I will simply take the blue pill or the pink pill, like my friend,' " he said. "
The recklessness of that mentality is indescribable.
Sound familiar?
**Bush's Fault!**
Nope. It's Global Warming.
Strange how if we follow Gods teachings in the Bible we can prevent virtually all of these horrible disease.
Celebrate Diversity!
Yeah! Bet they don't tell the kids this in school when they are telling them how "normal" homosexuality is..
Hell no! Just sodomize your way to a painful and early death, it's all good, so long as it promotes the militant gay agenda.
13 year old boys are men now??!! W.T.F.??!!
And they will get expensive drug treatments from public health clinics. They see people like Magic Johnson who got HIV back in the early 90's and he's still around. Why believe it's a death sentence? It doesn't appear to be.
I thought AIDS ( anybody remember GRID? ) was "everybody's disease..."
I want you all to consider these charts, ad ask just one simple question...
"How is any of this right, or fair?"
I said this a long time ago ( apologies for the bluntness, but it's true ):
"Don't share dirty needles
Don't have anal sex, or sex with those who do...
...and you probably won't catch AIDS."
It's a consequence of damn-fool choices, in the most part.
Kind of reminds me of the story Victor Borge used to tell about his uncle who invented the cure for which there was no disease.
Believe me many homosexual activists believe to their dying breaths that Republicans are responsible for the AIDs epidemic. The ironic thing is that this epidemic is virtually the only one almost strictly confined to one element of the general population. I still see and read statements by gay activists blaming Reagan for the epidemic. This was even after the early 80s when most people knew that unprotected anal intercourse practiced by male homosexuals was responsible for about 97% of the spread.
Researchers recruited "opinion leaders" in the gay communities of three cities in North Carolina. The people were trained to talk to their peers not only about ways to protect themselves from HIV but also about other issues,
such as homophobia in some black churches and racism.
See.............if we could just stop homophobia and racism,,,,,tommorrow`s headlines would read
Especially when you consider the taxpayer is likely footing the bill for those pills.
Instead of trying to "cure" AIDS, wouldn't all the billions of dollare be much more wisely spent trying to find a way to speed up the virus? After all, if we could find a way to speed up the time from infection to burial to 3 months, wouldn't AIDS just burn itself out?
Dialing Jeremiah Wright and Hussein Obama, those dastardly white folks are targeting blacks again sending AIDS into their neighborhoods.
I wonder why this is even an issue?...
That's a lot of money per person for eash AIDS case. It's a shame they can't find a much cheaper solution to the problem. If there was only an inexpensive way to prevent HIV, that would free up a huge amount of money for breast cancer, Alzheimers, and numerous other problems that cannot be prevented easily. We should put the best minds in Congress on that task and see how long it takes them to find a cheap and reliable way to prevent AIDS from spreading. Then they re-allocate most of the funding to non-preventable diseases and save more lives.
Isn't reporting this an act of discrimination? Shouldn't the writer and publisher be brought before a human rights tribunal?
Gays have a right to contribute to the blood supply, just like anyone else (transfusions are the only way she'd be infected).
The MSM led the charge in blaming Reagan for AIDS. Elizabeth Glaser , (now deceased wife David Glaser of Starsky & Hutch "fame"), blamed Reagan for the death of her children. Shameless. The bitch should have blamed her homo Hollywood butt pirate pals for the tainted blood that she received through a transfusion.
This has gotta be another plug for obama. The gubmint's at it again.
I want to make a correction. Only one of Glaser's children died.
Zero sympathy for any queer who gets aids after what we have all learned about it.
Sad. A preventable disease and so much publicity, gov. $ about how to prevent it. I have sympathy for a teenager who doesn't know any better but anyone over the age of 18 no sympathy. The black community needs to acknowledge that there are homosexuals in their community instead of blaming AIDS on a white plot like Obama's favorite Rev. Maybe then more homosexual blacks would use condoms.
The $ spent on this disease are politically motivated, lets spend more $ on cancer and heart disease, as those diseases cannot be prevented by wearing a condom.
I remember living in SF and even the gay activists fought those who wouldn't close the bathhouses....too many died young because of political correctness.
More good news from the 'community' who believe that ingesting poo-poo, and having one's pee-pee shoved up their poo-poo is wholesome!
Seems hard to believe.
The left will blame this on normal people, not on unnatural practices.
You'd have to wonder about their sex and /or drug use habits.
LOL!! Looks like it really sucks to be gay these days???
At least they referred to them as "gay" instead of "men who engage in sex with other men" this time.
(Epidemiologists prefer the term "men who have sex with men," or MSM, because many of them do not identify themselves as homosexual or gay.)
The problem I see is that everyone's medical insurance premiums go up, not just the perverts.
Thinning the herd!
Not to mention the expense. Uh, to the taxpayer.
My "give a damn" meter is busted. Oh boohoo.
Lay with dogs...get fleas
When the government subsidizes the consequences of a behavior, people engage in the behavior more or more recklessly.
It's the central dilemna of all public health care policies. Is it possible to fund health care in such a way that it doesn't increase social pathologies?
When charity was private, those doling it out could (theoretically) restrict grants based on probable outcomes. That said, there's probably been no greater beneficiary of private charity and fundraising in history than AIDS.
Imagine that...they come up with a way to keep HIV pos. people alive longer and the behaviors increase.
Went to the Dr. this week for a cold. While I'm there she mentions that the fastest, broadest spread of HIV in the DC area is among heterosexual couples.
I wonder if that isn't because of so-called "straight" men diddling on the side with their gay lovers.
or,the woman messing around with a bisexual?
Idiotic choices in life have consequences...
that liberals insist should be paid for by others, especially in the case of sexual behavior choices.
This is for the most part a liberal disease. Don't think so?...just ask any gay person who they will vote for.
Also, ask them if they are Christian, you know, someone who reads the Bible. They are 180% out of phase.
AIDS is a politically funded, politically protected disease. Welcome to the Socialist States of America.
Sounds plausible. Remember, if the number of infected people goes from 2 to 4, that is a 100% increase.

This married former A list reality star who now works 24/7 just to stay a relevant C list celebrity has been having sex with so many guys to get financing for her new show that the only time she sees her kid(s) is when there is a photo op.
But is Snooks married yet? Um, I'm not usually anti-sex work, but that just sounds sad. So sad.ReplyCancel
Jill ZarinReplyCancel
Holly Madison?ReplyCancel
The possible suspect list for this blind is long.ReplyCancel
Ohmigod, Alexa, of course! Holly Madison is a great guess. And she is already in that line. Makes me less sadReplyCancel
Pam AndersonReplyCancel
Nicole RichieReplyCancel
Hope it's not Holly. I like her for some reason.ReplyCancel
Kate Gosselin *shudders*ReplyCancel
I'd have to go with Spelling (never once seen a candid shot with her and even a single one of her many kids, ever-only super uncomfortable looking photo ops at C list events-does that little Stella EVER smile?? Sad…) or Gosselin. Though the thought of either one of them doing anything between the sheets sets my gag reflex on overdrive.ReplyCancel
I'm going with Kendra Wilkerson Baskett.ReplyCancel
No way a lot of dudes pay in order to bone Snooki. Said this, I have no clue about the person because it will probably be some American I don't know or care about like those Kendra, Jill or whatever names are above.ReplyCancel
I agree with Tori, she has a show in the works and it seems like she really hustles to stay relevant.ReplyCancel
But Tori is a former actress and current reality star, right? As gross as it might be to think that somebody would actually pay hard-earned money to have sex with Snooki, I am guessing it is her. JWoww isn't married yet, so it isn't her.ReplyCancel
there have been previous blinds about holly not spending time with aurora rainbowReplyCancel
Tori, Tori, Tori. So the fake divorce buzz didn't stir up some bucks? Nobody wanted to pay big money for the manufactured story?ReplyCancel
Agreed @Gypsytrill. That one had publicity stunt oozing out of its loosely put together seams almost from the start. Nik Richie (of another gossip site's fame) even said that he has countless sources and spies on the famewh*re/celebrity scene in Canada and not a single one could track down ANYTHING-not even a trace of existence-of the supposed chick that Dean had an "affair" with. Nothing.ReplyCancel

Crosswalk safety is especially important to the St George Police Department. The following are a few safety tips for drivers and pedestrians in regards to crosswalks.
-Yield to pedestrians in the crosswalks and at intersections.
-Be prepared to stop at all marked crosswalks. Stay alert and reduce speed in areas with crosswalks.
-Come to a complete stop if pedestrians are crossing or preparing to cross.
-Wait until pedestrians have crossed at least one lane past the lane you are in before resuming travel.
-Never pass another vehicle that has stopped or is slowing down at a crosswalk.
-Put your phone away and never drive distracted.
-Always cross at marked crosswalks
-Obey any pedestrian signals and look left right left. By doing this you insure that the road is clear in both directions before crossing.
-If a vehicle approaches, make eye contact with the driver to be sure they see you before you cross.
-Look before walking past stopped vehicles. Do not cross just because a driver waves you on. Be sure all lanes are clear first.
-A pedestrian may not suddenly leave a curb or other place of safety and walk or run into the path of a vehicle which is so close as to constitute an immediate hazard.
Utah State Code 41-6a-1002 states:
"The operator of a vehicle shall yield the right-of-way by slowing down or stopping if necessary: (i) to a pedestrian crossing the roadway within a crosswalk when the pedestrian is on the half of the roadway upon which the vehicle is traveling; or (ii) when the pedestrian is approaching so closely from the opposite half of the roadway as to be in danger."
The St George Police Department asks all pedestrians and drivers to be especially vigilant in regards to crosswalk safety. It only takes a few seconds to follow these guidelines which may save a life.

An Exciting Project with Many Active Partners
In 1999, Yreka High School in Yreka, California received funds from a Forest Service Grant (Partners in Flight Program) to enhance their agriculture and natural resource program and provide wildlife habitat on school grounds.

Jets Quarterbacks Struggling
by Howard Simon
posted Aug 20 2012 12:00AM
If you're worried about how the Bills offense has looked through the first two games of the pre-season, it could be worse. They could be the New York Jets.
The Jets offense has been grounded. They did not score a touchdown in losses to the Cincinnati Bengals and New York Giants. I'm not just talking starters here, it's the entire offense.
New York has managed but three field goals although they did play a playoff team from last season(Cincinnati) and the defending Super Bowl champions(NY Giants). The Bills offense has struggled against Washington and Minnesota, neither of whom made the post season in 2011.
I was on Long Island over the weekend so I took the opportunity to watch the annual Jets-Giants exhibition game on Saturday night. I also saw most of their game with the Bengals and there were striking similarities.
Both Mark Sanchez and Tim Tebow have struggled, which is what they were doing during training camp workouts in Cortland.
Mind you the Jets did play without their best receiver Santonio Holmes in both games and were also down two other wide outs, Jeremy Kerley and Chaz Schilens in the game against the Giants.
Sanchez looked shaky although his line didn't give him much time to throw. For those of you worried about the lack of plays from Mario Williams to this point of the pre-season, he should have a field day on opening day against Jets right tackle Wayne Hunter, assuming Hunter still has the job on September 9
Sanchez threw an interception that was returned for a touchdown and was unable to put together a scoring drive. The Jets started one possession at the Giants 45 yard line but turned the ball over on downs after being stuffed on 3
and 1 and 4
and 1 run plays.
Exit Sanchez(who has been sacked five times so far) and enter(to more applause than Sanchez got), Tim Tebow. The Jets number two signal caller faced second stringers but didn't fare much better than Sanchez.
Tebow was ……Tebow. He'd make a couple of good throws then make some hideous ones. Tebow completed a couple of short passes to begin his first drive. Later on,he had a wide open Stephen Hill(good looking rookie wide receiver from Georgia Tech) in the end zone for an easy touchdown. But Tebow badly underthrew him and the Jets settled for a field goal.
He missed badly on two passes that should have been easy completions to backs in the flat. Tebow did use his legs to his benefit, running for a first down on third and six. The Jets did not use Tebow in any wildcat formations. Apparently they are waiting to unleash that on the Bills in week one.
As for Tebow-Mania, we had a caller on the show last week from the New York metropolitan area and he told us the media wasn't getting carried away with their coverage of Tebow.
I would beg to differ. There's been a daily "Tebow Tracker" in the New York Post. Didn't see one for Sanchez anywhere in the paper.
In last Friday's "Tebow Tracker", I found out what time he took the field at Cortland for the previous day's practice. It listed the exact times he did drills and how he did in the various drills. It included a quote from Tebow about his day of work and a quote from Head Coach Rex Ryan on Tebow's performance that day.
For what its worth, I also learned the media kept stats for both quarterbacks during their camp workouts. Their numbers might make what Vince Young and Tyler Thigpen did at St. John Fisher look like Pro Bowl performances.
Sanchez ended up completing 52% of his passes with 5 touchdowns, 7 interceptions and he was sacked 20 times.
Tebow had a 48% completion rate with only 2 TD passes, 3 INT's and 29 sacks.
We should always take what we see in the pre-season(good and bad) with a grain of salt but I still think this is an indication of what will happen with the Jets offense this season.
A new system with a new Offensive Coordinator(former Dolphins Head Coach Tony Sparano), a shaky offensive line, a number one quarterback constantly looking over his shoulder(and always answering the questions about how he feels when Tebow receives more applause than he does), an inconsistent backup qb and a thin corps of receivers should add up to a fairly ineffective unit.
It should also add up to a productive day for the Bills defense in the opener at MetLife Stadium. You might want to bet the under that day when you take into account how the Bills offense has looked in their rehearsals.
In addition, the Jets defense held Eli Manning and the Giants offense out of the end zone during their one half of work the other night.

Tim Turner Studio
Editor's note: The recipe and introductory text below are from Rick Tramonto's book Fantastico!
- Yield
- Makes 4 servings
- 1 1/4 cups dried borlotti or cranberry beans
- 1/2 pound bacon or pancetta, diced
- 1 cup chopped yellow onion
- 1 cup diced celery
- 1 cup diced fennel
- 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon cayenne
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 cup red wine
- One 14 1/2-ounce can diced tomatoes
- 1 cup chicken stock, plus more if needed
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 8 slices Rick's Basic Bruschetta
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh sage
- 8 thin slices prosciutto di Parma
- Extra virgin olive oil
- 1. Put the beans in a bowl or pot and add enough cold water to cover. Set aside to soak at room temperature for at least 8 hours. Change the water once or twice, if possible.
- 2. Drain the beans, transfer to a heavy-bottomed pot, and add water to cover by an inch or two. Bring the water to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low, skim off any foam that rises to the surface, and simmer for about 1 hour, or until the beans are nearly tender. Check the water level during cooking and replenish it, if necessary. It's important to keep the beans submerged at all times during cooking.
- 3. Drain the beans and cool at room temperature. Cover and refrigerate until needed. The cooked beans will keep for up to 2 days.
- 4. In a large pot, cook the bacon over medium-high heat for about 6 minutes, or until brown and the fat is rendered. Add the onion, celery, fennel, salt, cayenne, and black pepper and cook, stirring, for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the onion softens. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for about 30 seconds, then add the wine. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to a brisk simmer, and cook until reduced by half.
- 5. Add the tomatoes and their juices. Cook for about 2 minutes, then add the stock, vinegar, bay leaf, and beans.
- 6. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low, season to taste with salt and pepper, cover, and simmer for 10 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender. Add more stock if necessary to keep the beans well moistened. Stir in the butter until incorporated.
- 7. Remove the beans from the heat and let them cool in the liquid until warm or room temperature.
- 8. In a small bowl, mix together the basil and sage.
- 9. Using a slotted spoon, scoop some beans from the pot and put on top of each toast. Too much liquid will make the bruschetta soggy, so drain carefully when lifting the beans from the pot.
- 10. Garnish each bruschetta with 1 slice of prosciutto and a sprinkling of the herbs. Drizzle with olive oil and serve.

Strike King KVD Perfect Plastic Ocho
The new Strike King Ocho soft plastic stickbaits are the real deal. The Ocho's unique 8 sided design allows the bait to undulate, especially on the fall. Rigged weightless and pitched around cover or rigged on a Carolina rig and pulled through the depths of the strike zone, the Ocho is sure to bring incredible action. The Ocho is made from the world's best blend of soft plastic ingredients! This allows the use of large amounts of salt yet keeps the bait soft and pliable. The Coffee scent masks human scents and oils and increases longer bites increasing your hook-up chances.

Comments: These things flat out catch LMB! They are very soft & don't usually survive but 1 or 2 fish but I fish to catch bass not to save money.
From: Paul: TX 9/13/16
Comments: I fish the Ocho 5" Amistad Special & Baby Bass on shakey head, Texas & Carolina Rig and it is the best soft plastic I have ever used. I also fish what we call Shake and Bake, a shakey head on bottom and a small hook about 12-15" up the line with a Ocho double header fished wacky style. The bass in Texas lakes just love them. They are soft & they don't last but one or two bites before tearing, but they are worth it when I get bites and no one else is catching fish around me. I fish grass, road beds, rocks, and in the trees with them, slower the better. It is a finesse bait. Sometimes the bite is soft and you have to be paying attention. If I get bit and don't set the hook, I let the Ocho sit for another few seconds & I get bit a second time. Don't know if it is the same bass going back, or another bass, but it convinces me that the fish like them. It is an expensive habit to get into, as they are $5-6 for 8 Ocho baits. I often bite the heads off of used Ocho worms and continue using them if not ripped in the body. If they are ripped in the body I tear them in half and use the 2- 2.5" sections of Ocho worm as the top bait for the Shake and Bake rig. Bass hit the small sections hooked through one end, as well as the wackey rigged 5" Ocho worm.
From: CouldBfishin: Houston, TX 5/8/16
Comments: Most stick baits are solid choices. I recently used the Ocho from the back of the boat in a tournament and was catching fish behind my boaters. Size mattered, I was throwing the 6" in green pumpkin on a 3/4oz tungsten weight, dragging it slowly. The smallies and largies would only eat this worm. Don't argue with results, just buy it.
From: Dan: Spokane, WA 10/8/15
Comments: These baits are light and are ALOT more limp than a Senko. I wacky rig mine and within 10 mins of putting a new bait on, both ends are hanging almost completely down. Also, they don't have the shimmy that a wacky rigged Senko does on the retrieve. I bought 4 packs of these when they first came out about 6-7yrs ago. They have been packed away about the same amount of time.
From: Stone: Charlotte, NC 5/22/15
Comments: These things are killer if you use a wacky tool these things will last for a long time! A must buy if you love throwing a wacky rig.
From: Hunter: North Dinwiddie, VA 5/8/15
Comments: Best Senko style bait in the market hands down! IT does tear after 2 fish or so but you also tear up the number of fish you catch. Great action on the fall weightless or Texas rigged. I caught my pb 11.2 lb largemouth on the blue craw color.
From: M: TN 3/1/15
Comments: I don't know about all of this "better than a Senko" mumbo jumbo, but this gets bit. I wouldn't throw this instead of a Senko, but I bust these out when the bite is wide open or I am around really stupid fish, like down in Mexico.
From: Jay6: USA 6/22/14
Comments: Great bait wacky style in 7inch with a 4/0 hook. Tear super easy. Only getting 2-3 fish per worm. They catch way more and bigger fish then standard 5 or 6 inch senko though. Worth the money. Will be buying 5 packs at a time from here on out.
From: Gov: CA 3/19/14
Comments: Today I caught a 8.0 pounder bass on the hard candy weightless with a falcon bucoo 7"mh it was my biggest bass I ever caught all I fish is strike king this bait is the best hands down try them
From: Tav: Columbia, sc
Comments: great senko mainly because its more beefy then others so you can cast it with a baitcaster very easily and it also skips like a dream. Big bait slow fall, fish love em. I buy the 7 inch version and rig it with an owner 7 or 11 oversized hook and bit pieces off as it gets torn up.
From: Matt: MN
Comments: The Senko is not very durable but catches lots of fish and love the colors.
From: Jens Lund: Chanhassen, MN
Comments: The only advantage I see to these over a Senko is the coffee sent. These are too light; they don't have the shimmy on the fall that Senkos do. I'm not a fan of paying more for a popular named bait, but the Senko does have more to offer when the bite is tuff IMO.
From: Ed: Champaign, IL.
Comments: These baits are just as good as Yamamoto's in my opinion. I got turned on to these because of the Blue Craw color. If you want these or senkos to last longer on the hook, try using an Owner Twistlock light hook when Texas rigging them.
From: Brian: Burke, VA
Comments: Who Cares that these things are not durable if your hammering fish all day I promise you will not mind putting a new one on every fish rather than using the same worm all day and never getting a bite. The other fact that they sell for 5 dollars a bag if you cannot afford that then you just need to stay home these are great baits and most hook sets are money due to the worm being very soft. Grab some Watermelon Red and hang on.
From: Wes: TX
Comments: These are awesome little worms. Some have said things about durability but they are just as durable as the Senkos and half the price all of strike kings plastics are awesome if you like these stick baits you can also try the SK Zeros and the Shim E Sticks.
From: Lance: Livingston, TX
Comments: This bait is amazing You WILL Catch Alot of Bass with this worm, but the durability of this worm is very bad, if they could fix that problem it would def be the best worm on the market for the price
From: Travis: NC
Comments: best worm for me throw it with a 1/8 bullet weight and throw it near structure and hop it on the bottom i use a 3/0 hook on the 5"
From: Brock: FL
Comments: Pros: It catches fish. Good action and supple feel. Cons: The durability of this bait is awful. arguably the most fragile soft plastic I have ever put on a hook. Conclusion: In my experience, they can't survive more than a single strike or two without ripping apart. Fishing them on a regular basis could be an very expensive enterprise.
From: Dean: British Columbia, Canada
Comments: I will put this up against a Senko any day. Plus a lot cheaper. The best stick bait out there
From: Brett: IL
Comments: Good bait but not very durable. Tears easy, even if you just cast it and hit an object. Forget about it if a Bass gets it. It does catch fish, but I won't be going back for more--they don't last long. Went through a pack in a day and only caught three fish.
From: Kenny: Fort Walton Beach, FL
Comments: perfectly weighted,easycasting,sinks slowly with no weghts needed.i give it 4 stars-only because they tear up easy.go with the GREEN PUMPKIN,BASS CANNOT RESIST THIS BAIT.
From: Kevin: Miami
Comments: Like the bait it is durable and cast and feels great. The coffee scent has me a little confused though as sometimes it seems a fish will refuse to hit the bait a second time after a missed strike could just be in my head though as well.
From: Brian: Quincy, MA
Comments: Great bait, switched over from yum dingers and haven't looked back. Excellent action and flexibility only problem i see is it tears quicker than most soft rubber but that's always a good thing when your catchin lots of bass.
From: Sully: Mass, USA
Comments: The 5" size is nothing special, but the 7" size is phenomenal. Just dead-stick it and let it fall on mostly slack line, unweighted with a 5/0 hook. Try it with a lead nail weight in the tail of the worm to get under docks. This is a great bait to fish behind someone else. The bass that have seen jigs and beavers all day will still hit this.
From: Rick: Iowa, USA
Comments: Excellent bait, I've caught a number of fish up to 10 pounds on the 7" model. Falls quickly with lots of action, really effective for scattered vegetation and brush to at least 10 feet. I buy these four packs at a time!
From: Al: Florida, USA
Comments:I caught 4 bass my first time throwing this bait. It is probably the highest quality worm of its kind. I usually only fish these types of worms: senkos, zeros, flash. Although this bait seems to be the best in action, fall rate, scent, and casting ability, the one problem is that they are not durable. I used 3 worms to catch 4 bass. It was at night and I couldn't find the worms so maybe if I was able to I could have reused them.
From:Sean: Ocala, FL

Athlete inspired. Soldier tested. The Numa Optics Chisel Sunglasses are performance, wraparound glasses engineered to protect the eyes - a person's most valuable asset. Delivering sleek styling on top of their rugged, dependability, the Chisel Sunglasses also offer a wider field of vision thanks to the absence of a frame at the bottom of the lenses. Used by top professional bass anglers, including Scott Martin, as well as, special forces soldiers from across the globe, Numa Sunglasses deliver perfect distortion-free ocular clarity, as well as, 100% UV400 protection from harmful UVA, UVB and UVC rays. The shatterproof multi-layer polycarbonate lenses protect against accidental impact as well, and NumaPlate hard coat, an industry-leading anti-scratch treatment, provides added durability. Each lens also features a super-slick anti-smudge hydrophobic coating that keeps them clean and clear and also prevents fogging. The Lite-Flex Frames weigh in at just 18-24 grams, and anti-fog venting as well as no-slip-grip-rubber temple/nose pads provide added comfort. Designed to be the last pair of glasses you'll ever buy, the Numa Optics Chisel Sunglasses are backed by a Limited Lifetime Warranty.
Lite-Flex Frames - Numa warrants that under normal wear-and-tear, the frames will not break. Normal wear-and-tear includes but is not limited to: scaling a cliff face, downhill mountain biking or skiing, parachuting, hiking rugged terrain, dropping your Numas on a hard surface, accidentally stepping or sitting on them, and even letting your toddler play with them. Patented flexible, extremely lightweight and durable fibers make the frames virtually unbreakable. Rigid enough to provide top performance characteristics, they are incredible flexible with the structural memory to come back to shape after impact or pressure. They are also reinforced at what are typically vulnerable points, the hinges and bridge of nose. And weighing in at 18-24 grams, they're so light, you'll hardly notice you have them on.
Polycarbonate Lenses - Polycarbonate is preferred over glass for active sports because it is impact-resistant, shatter-resistant, scratch-resistant, lightweight and durable. Unlike glass, polycarbonate is flexible and bends, rather than shatters, when struck. Numa's lenses were tested to European ballistic standards for high-impact resistance before they were adopted by the Swiss SWAT teams as their standard issue eyewear.
Polarized Yellow - Low-light high contrast bass lens.
-Hard Case
-Large cleaning cloth pouch
"Numa Sport Optics are crystal clear and perfect for sight fishing. And Numa's tough frames and shaterproof lenses are accident proof, which gives me peace of mind. These are the most highly engineered fishing lenses I've ever used and I consider them essential gear when I'm out on the water." - Scott Martin, 2011 Forrest Wood Cup Champion.
