BFST® Devices are Electrical Medical Appliances that
actively stimulate blood flow in injured tissue.
BFST® devices are NOT wraps or braces designed to simply lessen joint strain.
BFST® stimulates blood flow through the ankle tendons while the patient is at rest. This is very important because while at rest, an unaided inflamed ankle can otherwise have seriously impeded blood flow. It is the oxygen and nutrient rich blood that enables the healing process. Adequate blood flow is required for the tissue to heal properly and quickly.
King Brand Healthcare BFST® devices serve 3 very important functions.
BFST® Wraps:
- Promote blood flow and rapid healing in an ankle at rest
- Provide support and moderate bracing for the injured joint
- Serve to remind the patient that the ankle is injured and is undergoing healing
The promotion of blood flow has obvious benefits. The reminder of the injury though is incredibly important too because avoiding reinjury is fundamental to rapid recovery. The BFST® device is designed to be worn even when turned off to help protect the ankle from reinjury and this goes a long way towards shortening the recovery time. Patients enjoy the support BFST® wraps provide their ankle injuries and appreciate that they are healing - patients like wearing them, they know its helping them heal. This positive attitude further contributes to an overall positive recovery plan.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Sept. 20, 2012) – Coming off its conference-opening setback at Mercer earlier in the week, the ETSU volleyball team looks to bounce back into the win column when the Bucs host USC Upstate on Friday night. First serve is set for 7 p.m. inside Brooks Gym.
The Bucs (9-6, 0-1 A-Sun) dropped a heartbreaker in the opening set to the Bears Tuesday night inside Hawkins Arena and never recovered, as Mercer took the second and third sets to kick off Atlantic Sun play. ETSU was led by junior Megan Devine's (Kingsport, Tenn.) 12-kill, 9-dig effort, while senior Kayla Williams (El Paso, Texas) added 28 assists, three digs, and two blocks. Unfortunately, as a team, the Bucs hit .141 (31-17-99) for the match, compared to Mercer's .270 (46-16-111) clip. The Blue and Gold were also outdone in service aces and the Bears won the battle, 7-1.
Like ETSU, USC Upstate (4-7, 0-1 A-Sun) suffered a loss in its first conference match of the season as the Spartans dropped a four-setter at Kennesaw State Tuesday night. Three players recorded double-digit kills in the match with Kayla McAvoy leading the way at 16. McAvoy also hit .545 for the match and recorded five blocks, but the team couldn't overcome Kennesaw State's 76 kills. The Spartans ended with 55.
McAvoy leads the team with a .323 attack percentage and 3.53 kills per set, placing her third and fifth in the A-Sun. Emily Bingham also ranks among the conference leaders in attack percentage as her .299 clip is the sixth best among league players.
Since joining the A-Sun in 2005, the Bucs have won six of the eight matches against the Spartans, including three straight. Devine and Ivey Rice (Johnson City, Tenn.) both recorded double-doubles in the last meeting with USC Upstate as ETSU defeated the Spartans, 3-1, back on Nov. 5, 2011 in Spartanburg. Devine finished with 18 kills and 18 digs, while Rice added 13 kills and 19 digs. The Bucs out-blocked USC Upstate, 10-2, and also held the Spartans to a .176 attack percentage. In Johnson City, ETSU swept the Spartans as Jamie Rutledge (Kingsport, Tenn.) posted 35 assists and seven digs, while Meredith Hardy (Kingsport, Tenn.) hit .500 (9-1-16) and added three service aces.
Fans unable to make the trip to Johnson City can watch all the action for free through A-Sun.TV, while live stats will also be available on ETSUBucs.com. Fans can also access the live stats on their mobile devices by visiting ETSUBucs.com.

STOCKTON - Stockton residents don't have to travel to the Far East to take in the full flavor of Asia.
STOCKTON - Stockton residents don't have to travel to the Far East to take in the full flavor of Asia.
Step inside either of the Super King Food Center markets in north Stockton, then close your eyes. The aromas rush in. Open them, then the sights take over.
Both Super Kings, No. 1 and No. 2, are owned by Steven and Shirley Lor, Stockton residents and Cambodian refugees.
The first store at 6045 N. El Dorado St., opened in 1995. The Lors opened a second store at 8626 N. Lower Sacramento Road in 2004.
Saroeun Mao, 53, has worked at both. Cleanly, quickly chopping the ends off bok choy in a back room, she said, "I like to work. I enjoy the people, the customers."
Both markets carry a wide range of food from Pacific Rim nations. There's rice from Japan, candy from China, a Honey Bee tea drink from Thailand, Pho meat and cooked silkworm from Vietnam and lemon-grass chop from Cambodia. A few Korean items also are on the shelves.
Mao, who has four grown children and five grandchildren, is one of 20 employees at Store No. 2 on Lower Sacramento Road. She spends her days working with the vegetables, carefully arranging them for a harmonious presentation.
Mao pointed to bags of unfamiliar leafy green vegetables in a bin nearby. "It's bacha from Hawaii. It's for sour soup."
Before leaving Cambodia, she worked on a farm. She's a good fit for the Asian market. "I clean vegetables first to look nice. Then I bring food out. I want to look nice."
The El Dorado Street store, with 25 employees and a brisk business, remains the flagship operation.
Both locations also carry Mexican food items and feature fresh fish, some of it still alive, as a signature item.
"We have a mix of customers - Asian, black, Caucasian," said Kim San Sok, a store supervisor. The store manager is Peter Poeung, also a Cambodian refugee.
He works hard to find the right produce, the least-expensive fish and canned and dried goods from a host of nations. "We shop around - San Jose and San Francisco - to find the best deals and the freshest food," Poeung said.
An independent Vietnamese bakery operates from inside Store No. 2, offering specialized sandwiches.
There's also a counter for doing personal transactions, including purchasing phone cards to call home to Laos or the Philippines.
There are other Asian markets in Stockton and San Joaquin County, but most are small, mom-and-pop operations.
Few feature aisle after aisle of specialized foods. Inside both Super King markets, you'll find bamboo strips, sliced papaya, lotus leaf buns, coconut gel, Tuyo dried herring and Sriracha chili sauce.
A visit to either store is a mixed-cultural experience and a sensory overload to the uninitiated.

Bill could enable marijuana center
The Summit Medical Center was approved to dispense medical marijuana by the Rhode Island Department of Health a year ago, but Governor Lincoln Chafee put the brakes on Summit and two other Rhode Island compassion centers for fear of federal government intervention.
Now, after months of uncertainty, compassion centers in Rhode Island may finally be able to open their doors thanks to a bill sponsored by Sen. Rhoda E. Perry and Rep. Scott A. Slater that would put stricter regulations on compassion centers.
David Lauterbach, president and CEO of the Kent Center for Human and Organizational Development, where the Summit Medical Center is slated to rent space, said he has not heard anything from those who represent the center since the bills were introduced earlier this month.
"Just what I've read in the paper," he said.
Lauterbach said as long as the space at the Kent Center remains vacant and available, he would love to have the compassion center on the grounds.
Lauterbach hopes the new bill will ensure compassion centers will be able to operate legally and without federal interference.
"The Governor was the one who put forth the resistance," said Lauterbach, who is sure that Chafee was instrumental in drawing up a satisfactory bill.
Now that Chafee has expressed his support for the legislation, Lauterbach thinks the path to opening dispensaries will be smoother.
"Since the Rhode Island medical marijuana law invited federal action, I have been working with advocates on a remedy," said Chafee in a statement. "I look forward to passage of a bill that will avoid federal intervention."
The legislation would allow the Department of Health to regulate the amount of marijuana grown and possessed by the dispensaries. Under the Summit proposal, marijuana would have been grown indoors at the Airport Office Park on Strawberry Field Road.
The bill also allows growers to sell excess amounts of marijuana that are not needed for themselves or clients to other dispensaries, as long as the total limits of marijuana are not exceeded. These points tackle issues the federal government has shown concern about, like the amount of marijuana in possession of dispensaries, the income generated, and illegal marijuana sales.
Cuttino Mobley, the former NBA star and financier of the Summit Medical Center is hopeful the new legislation will allow centers like his to open.
"In the end, the program should be about providing a safe and lawful system of patient access to quality and consistent medicine," said Mobley in a statement. "Security and the non-profit nature of the compassion centers should be significant priorities. And, at the same time, I would think that you want to be careful not to put a state-licensed compassion center in the undesirable position of having to turn away registered patients in need."
Although Mobley is looking to get his center open as soon as possible, he is not in favor of compromises that would entail putting a cap on the number of patients dispensaries can serve.
"I don't think patients in need should be turned away and forced to obtain medicine in an undesirable or unsafe manner," he said.
According to the Rhode Island Department of Health there are currently 4,442 patients in Rhode Island licensed to use medical marijuana and 2,826 caregivers, or those who can grow and distribute the drug.
Mobley said that data he has seen shows 3-percent of the population are patients enrolled in medicinal marijuana programs. If compromises needed to be reached, he said the state should consider half that number to begin with, and see how things develop.
"A public policy decision can be made in a few years if patients are being denied safe and lawful access due to caps, and once the State has had a chance to see how well the licensed compassion centers are performing," he said.
As the bills currently stand, no caps would be placed on the number of patients served by compassion centers, and restrictions would instead be focused on the drug itself.
The bills have since been referred to the House Committee of Health, Education and Welfare and the Senate Health and Human Services. Those in favor the dispensaries hope the bills will get the ball rolling for the three approved compassion centers.
"Our main concern is getting compassion centers up and running for the many suffering patients who still have no legal way to obtain their prescription medicine," said Senator Perry in a statement. "It's been three years now since we approved compassion centers [in the General Assembly]. That's a long time for patients to wait for relief from pain and illness."
These 'compassion' centers are a sham. When you crunch the numbers, no one can make money unless the number of patients grows in to the tens of thousands. 4000 patients in RI divided among 3 centers doesn't recoup the cost of the building, growing, payroll, and security. These centers will only thrive as more and more people use the system to legalize smoking marijuana. No one will admit it but anyone who can do simple math can reveal the truth. Once these centers open, people will run to get scripts. And the non-profit status is a joke. Being non-profit doesn't mean they can't make money. They can pay themselves huge salaries. Why else would investors be clamoring to open these things?

September 12, 2016 - Why We Oppose the Financial CHOICE Act
September 8, 1016 - Towards a Sustainable Economy
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), created by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, was set up to protect consumers from unfair, deceptive and abusive financial products and practices such as those that led to the Great Recession. Empowered to crack down on lenders that deceive consumers, charge unfair fees and impose onerous terms of service, this newly created consumer protection agency has the potential to restore fairness to consumer finance and accountability to the financial sector. As an agency that is still in its infancy, many of the rules it will work to enforce still must be written and implemented. The financial sector and its allies in Congress have been incessant in their attempts to delay, defund and weaken the CFPB.
During the CFPB's creation and throughout the process that led to the appointment of its first director, Public Citizen has been on the front lines. Public Citizen continues to combat the financial industry's attempts to undermine this new consumer agency's important work.

text: Two southeast Iowa legislators painted a less than rosy picture of the state's financial situation this weekend. Representative Larry Marek and Senator Becky Schmitz visited Washington Saturday to offer an update. Schmitz says state agencies and programs could face nearly eight percent in budget cuts. Representative Marek says while Iowa has faired better than other states during the recession, the sting is still being felt. Marek says state income has dropped by another 81-million dollars for this fiscal year. He says if unemployment numbers don't improve, the problem could continue into the 2010-2011 budget. The two legislators did offer some good news. Schmitz says she's happy about recent health care reforms, while Marek is pleased with a new child labor law.

Pest Management Firms Morphing Into One-Stop Bug Shops
A warm place to rest and all the food and drink desired describes the appeal of all-inclusive resorts for people -- and food processing facilities for insects and other pests.
Specialized skills not deemed core competencies have gradually been pared away and outsourced by food companies. Increasingly that includes pest management.
From the perspective of insects, rodents and birds, a food plant is as close to nirvana as they are likely to come. Keeping pests at bay is a task many companies have gladly handed over to local experts, but as consolidation has resulted in geographically far-flung production networks, food companies have gravitated to service providers who can deliver integrated pest management to multiple sites. That in turn is driving service firms to expand their service areas.
A recent example is the acquisition of Western Exterminators Co. by Rentokil Initial, a U.K.-based holding company involved in pest control in Europe, Africa and Asia Pacific, as well North America. The acquisition was the latest in a series since 2006 that have vaulted Rentokil North America into the No. 3 position in the U.S. pest control business.
The purchase prompted Copesan Services Inc. to forge partnerships with five pest control firms in California, Arizona and Nevada to fill the void left by Western Exterminators and to bolster Copesan's network of 70-plus partner companies.
Wholesale bakeries rarely outsourced pest control a decade ago, observes Dave Pettigrew, food safety manager at McCloud Services in South Elgin, Ill., but a steady migration to companies like his has been occurring.
"The paperwork is laborious for companies to manage," he suggests -- and paperwork is increasing as food companies try to satisfy the documentation requirements of third-party auditors. McCloud's service area stretches from northern Alabama to southern Wisconsin and West Virginia to Kansas. As part of the Copesan network, it can enlist the support of regional suppliers throughout North America and into the Caribbean, says Pettigrew.
Pest control is a prerequisite program and, like good manufacturing practices, a building block for hazards analysis and critical control points (HACCP) programs. Many food companies are loath to outsource such a fundamental responsibility, and they've found they needed chemicals and traps from firms such as Orkin and Terminix. But bans on chemical standbys like methyl bromide and major recalls triggered by the use of unapproved solvents triggered a migration to outsourcing in the past 20 years. Third-party audits and documentation requirements are more recent incentives to scrap in-house programs in favor of integrated pest management services.
Those vendors are better able to monitor regulatory changes and incorporate new abatement strategies, although their success hinges on the cooperation and involvement of plant personnel. "In a well-run program, we don't have to spray anything at all," because food-safety personnel and sanitation workers are committed to an integrated management approach, says Tim Larson, corporate QA manager at Rentokil in Reading, Pa. "In reality, pesticides come into play when there are cutbacks and perhaps a sanitation position is eliminated," resulting in inadequate cleaning is select areas.
Boys will be girls
When spraying is necessary, the solutions used by pest control experts are more benign than the chemicals of the past, reducing the potential for product contamination and human harm. When traps must be baited, increasingly the intent is not to kill but to disrupt breeding.
A prominent example is pheromones that result in sexually confused insects. A popular choice for food plants is Moth Suppression, a product introduced in 2004 by Insects Limited Inc. that causes male Indian meal moths to pursue other males instead of females. Insect growth regulators (IGR) are a more recent innovation.
As with pheromones, mating disruption is the goal with IGR, though the IGR approach differs. Immature insects carry juvenile growth hormones that recede as they approach adulthood; by exposing them to large dosages of the hormone, the bugs continue to eat but never reach the breeding stage.
"People want to see dead insects, so there was a lot of resistance to IGRs five years ago," sighs Michelle Hartzer, staff entomologist and product manager at IFC, Lenexa, Kan. Skepticism is receding, however, and plant managers are more accepting of these low-risk insecticides. "You can drink a gallon of this stuff and it won't hurt you," according to Hartzer.
IGRs rely on three types of chemicals as their active ingredient. Methoprene can be applied directly to food and is commonly used with stored grain, providing up to two years protection. Hydroprene delivers coverage into cracks and crevices and is very effective against cockroaches, says Hartzer. Pyriproxyfen remains stable when exposed to sunlight.
IFC has specialized in food industry applications since its founding in 1937. The initials stand for Industrial Fumigant Co., and fumigation of stored grain was all it did in the early years. Today, fumigation accounts for less than a third of its business.
Many food companies source their pest-control supplies and rely on IFC for information updates on usage and new application tactics, such as an Agricultural Research Services study that is examining the optimum particle size for delivery and effectiveness when spraying insecticides. A shift to turnkey service is occurring gradually, and Hartzer doubts the pace will accelerate when new regulations come into play with the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA).
"Many in the food industry have always gone well beyond what the rules require, though there is a lot more detail with the independent audits, and there will be more paperwork with FSMA," she says. IFC and other suppliers ease the record-keeping burden on both clients and themselves with bar code readers and personal digital assistants, scanning the bar codes at each station and keying in data on number and type of insect trapped. The information is then uploaded to a server and made available on line for trending reports and review by auditors.

According to a recent study, almost 71 million Americans are currently on a diet. This is the highest number of dieters in the past 15 years.
Conducted by the Calorie Control Council, a non-profit international association of manufacturers of light foods and beverages, the survey looked at 1,200 Americans ages 18 and older.
The council also asked leading experts in obesity, nutrition and weight management what the future will hold for those trying to shed pounds in 2005. Look for them in your club.
Dr. John Foreyt, professor in the department of medicine at Baylor College of Medicine, noted that when it comes to carbs, the craze might have hit its peak. He suspects that we will see a downward trend in this area. Some reports show that purchasing of reduced-carbohydrate products has leveled. Similarly, the Council's 2004 consumer survey indicated that among consumers cutting back on foods high in carbohydrates, 90 percent agreed or strongly agreed it is also important to reduce calories.
Similarly, Dr. Rebecca Reeves, president elect of the American Dietetic Association, believed that the new Food & Drug Administration (FDA) campaign "Calories Count" to tackle obesity is a good one. However, the marketing of this campaign (as well as the education of consumers regarding the importance of controlling calories for weight management) will be important in order for it to succeed and for consumers to take the messages to heart, she said.
Professor of Nutritional Sciences at Pennsylvania State University Dr. Barbara Rolls, who recently presented new research at the North American Association for the Study of Obesity and is author of "The Volumetrics Eating Plan: Techniques and Recipes for Feeling Fuller on Fewer Calories," said that "calorie density" will be one of the hot buzzwords in 2005. Rolls' research on calorie density indicates that by eating more nutrient-dense foods that are filling and replacing high calorie foods with lower-calorie foods (e.g., incorporating more fruits and vegetables and using reduced-fat and lower-calorie versions) as well as eating smaller portions of high-calorie foods, approximately 800 calories can be eliminated from the typical daily diet without people even realizing they're eating fewer calories.
Both Foreyt and Reeves predict that the number of overweight children will continue to rise. However, many steps will be taken to help reverse this trend such as the reintroduction of mandatory physical education in schools, and fast food venues offering a variety of healthier selections. Reducing portion sizes, such as the new "100 Calorie Packs" from Nabisco and the mini-sized cans of soda will also continue.
Rolls, too, believes that the trend for healthier options available at restaurants will continue. "If consumers buy these other options, restaurants will continue to offer them. Thus, we need to educate consumers on making better choices when dining out," noted Rolls.
According to Reeves, using a pedometer for "counting steps" each day will continue to be a popular way for adults and children to increase their physical activity -- something that has been on the decline for many years.

...an elegant example of how pleasurable political history can be when written by a skilled teller of fictional tales who has a careful reporter's respect for facts. It is top-drawer as political history, unusually well written, and stuffed with forty pages of notes providing sources for an extraordinary variety of information. It is also an entertaining human tale of generational conflict, filled with the elements that enliven popular novels and soap operas."
Russell Baker, in
The New York Review of Books.
Ike and Dick: Portrait of a Strange Political Marriage
is narrative history-- an intimate exploration of the nearly twenty-year personal and public relationship between Dwight D. Eisenhower and Richard Nixon. The book follows the two men from their first encounter, in the summer of 1950, through Ike's two, crisis-filled presidential terms; it take them to the Vietnam-era, the marriage of Eisenhower's grandson, David, and Nixon's daughter Julie, and Nixon's election just four months before Ike's death. (An epilogue covers the scandals that wrecked Nixon's presidency.)
Ike and Dick
is based on years of research and fresh interviews with dozens of men and women who knew and worked with both men, including members of the Eisenhower and Nixon families. "To read this book," the Pulitzer Prize-winning historian David Kennedy wrote, "is to be reminded of Richard Nixon's singularly tortured character in all its cussedness and genius—and to learn anew of Dwight Eisenhower's capacity for shrewd political cunning and often insouciant human coldness."
One early reviewer of
Ike and Dick
said that my "inner Washingtonian is still intact." That probably comes from being reared there and having worked for a dozen years at the
Washington Post
, where I was deputy editor of Outlook. For more than thirteen years I was a senior editor at
The New Yorker
and a contributor to the magazine.

Vacherie resident Susan Dufrene is using her love of sewing to bring smiles to the faces of hundreds of children.
Vacherie resident Susan Dufrene is using her love of sewing to bring smiles to the faces of hundreds of children.
Her project, Lara's Gowns for Smiles, creates unique, colorful and fun hospital gowns for children undergoing cancer treatment. It's a project inspired from her step-granddaughter, Lara Grace Boudreaux of Thibodaux, who was diagnosed with a rare cancer called Ewing sarcoma.
Since the Thibodaux native began her project in May, Dufrene said she has created nearly 500 gowns distributed to children in Ohio, Tennessee, Mississippi and Children's Hospital in New Orleans.
"God gave me a gift to sew, and I just want to pay it back," Dufrene said.
After Lara, 7, was diagnosed with Ewings sarcoma in March, her mother Nikki Boudreaux asked Dufrene if she'd mind making some personalized hospital gowns for Lara. Hospitalized children have to wear the gowns because if they dress in street clothes or regular pajamas it can be difficult for nurses to administer care or react quickly in an emergency.
"They have these generic blue gowns with bears and balloons," Boudreaux said. "I knew Susan likes to sew, so I asked her if she wouldn't mind making five or six gowns for Lara."
Lara's cancer is aggressive but treatable. Because she had a tumor in her left femur, she had to undergo surgery to remove three-fifths of her femur and replace it with her calf bone. She was in a body cast for weeks. She'll have to undergo physical therapy when her leg is strong enough to learn to walk again. She underwent three months of chemotherapy and will face another round next year.
Dufrene said she was inspired seeing how the gown brightened Lara's mood. She especially loves her Scooby Doo gowns and has an LSU hospital gown she wears every Saturday.
"When she wears a gown, she's all giggly and smiles," Dufrene said.
Other families started asking about the gowns, and Boudreaux suggested Dufrene could make money selling them in the hospital gift shop. But Boudreaux wouldn't do it.
"I didn't want to make money off these sick children," she said.
So she decided to start making them and giving them away. Dufrene has created a Facebook page for Lara's Gowns for Smiles and said she has received requests for her gowns from across the country and even from Britain. Today she mostly brings them to Children's Hospital in New Orleans but hopes to expand to include Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center in Baton Rouge.
"If you could see the smiles you'd know why I'm doing this," Dufrene said. "They get giggly and blush, and for just a moment they forget about what they're going through."
You can help Dufrene with her project by donating fabric and other sewing supplies. She's holding a fabric drive to enable her to keep making gowns for kids through the holiday season.
It can be fun choosing the fabrics you feel will bring a smile to a child's face, she added.
These items can be dropped off at several locations or you can call Dufrene at 225-265-2880 or 985-713-6391 to arrange a pickup. Supplies can be dropped off in Thibodaux at Chinese Chef, 361 N. Canal Blvd., and Tardo's Hair Designs, 601 W. Second St.
Here's what's needed:
- Fabric. Fabric should be 100 percent cotton or flannel. Since hospitals can be cold, light flannel can be a comfortable and warm option for sick kids during the winter. One yard of fabric will make a small gown; 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 yards makes a medium gown and 2 1/2 to 3 yards makes a large gown.
Dufrene encouraged shoppers to be creative when it comes to picking out prints for boys, girls and teens. Boys love camouflage, NASCAR, superheroes and prints based on the movies "Cars" and "Toy Story." Girls love princess, Disney, peace sign, animal and heart prints, plus anything pretty or cute, Dufrene said. The most-requested fabrics are LSU and Saints patterns.
- Bias tape, double fold. This is used to finish the neckline and sleeves.
- Grosgrain ribbon, 1/2 inch wide. This is used to tie the back of the gowns.
Donations can also be made at Regions Bank locations under Lara's Gowns for Smiles.
Nikki Buskey can be reached at 857-2205 or

Prom Sequin Dresses
Prom day is supposed to be magical and glamorous. Girls should feel like a shining star on their Prom. What would be the better way to achieve this goal rather than adding sequins to your dress.Prom Sequin Dresses are one of the hottest trends for the past couple of years. Sequin Dresses are one of the hottest trends for the past couple of years. If we judge according the popularity they're getting we can say with confidence that they are here to stay. There is no doubt about the fact that sequins give the dress that extra "wow" factor. Your friends will be mesmerized by your luxurious look. Once you've made up your mind to wear a dazzling sequin gown on your Prom, MackTak offers endless options to choose from, it can be a strapless gown with a sweetheart neckline, where the bodice of the dress will be covered entirely into either multicolored or one tone sequins, featuring the long silk skirt with a high slit, or the one with sweetheart neckline is emphasized by the crystal stones, or the asymmetrical neckline with a strap across the bust, where the strap itself will be fully covered with radiant rhinestones, or you can go with a fashion forward and super trendy hi-low dress featuring a corset bodice completely covered in sequins with a layered tulle in the skirt which will flow as you walk or you can switch it and have the sequined skirt instead of the bodice, where you will have corset bodice with sheer panels on the midsection, that will be decorated with sparkling stones. MackTak.com makes this work easier for you, which can be very time consuming.

Britney Spears has just started luring younger crowds to her recently launched Las Vegas spectacle inside Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino. But the pop star is about to gain some new neighbors at a smaller venue nearby.
The Jacksons have inked a residency deal with Planet Hollywood that will see them perform 40 concerts, promoters for the show announced on Thursday.
The group was tapped as the next act to anchor the hotel's "RockTellz & CockTails" concert series. They are scheduled to make their debut Feb. 20.
RockTellz & CockTails is pegged as a "high-energy, one-of-a-kind live show" built around a concert and "intimate, personal stories." It sounds like "VH1 Storytellers" tailored for very seasoned acts. The Jacksons will rotate with Meat Loaf, who debuted last fall and returns in February.
In 2012 -- almost three years after the death of Michael Jackson -- Jackie, Tito, Jermaine and Marlon announced they would go back on the road for their first tour together in nearly three decades.
Dubbed the Unity Tour, the 2012 outing was saddled with the sort of headlines the Jackson family has unfortunately long been associated with.
After the 27-date trek was first announced, 11 stops were canceled and tickets for some performances were sold for as much as 66% off on discount sites such as Goldstar. And their performance at the Greek Theatre came at the height of a messy -- and public -- family spat that culminated with reports that matriarch Katherine Jackson had gone missing. Worse still was the show's poor attendance.
In an interview with The Times about their reunion, Jermaine claimed the tour troubles were not a result of low demand but, rather, a conscious decision to make time to record the follow-up to their last album together, 1989's "2300 Jackson Street." New material from these sessions has yet to surface.
Last summer the group helped headline the inaugural BET Experience alongside Beyonce, Snoop Dogg, R. Kelly and New Edition. That performance also came with controversy. The festival was produced and promoted by AEG Live which, at the time, was in the midst of a billion-dollar wrongful death lawsuit from Michael's mother, Katherine. AEG was ultimately found not liable.
The Jacksons have struggled to answer one big question: Are they a viable act without Michael? Maybe they will find their answer in Vegas. But even this residency can't escape Michael's glittering shadow as his music and likeness form the backdrop for Cirque du Soleil's "One" at the nearby Mandalay Bay Resort.
"RockTellz & CockTails presents The Jacksons" will be performed Thursday through Sunday inside the PH Showroom at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino from Feb. 20 to April 27.
Tickets are $54 to $129, with an exclusive meet and greet package available for an additional $400 (not including tickets). Tickets go on sale Saturday at 10 a.m. through Ticketmaster.

The Kwan Um School of Zen has offered an official statement on the matter of Eido Shimano booking a rental at their Diamond Hill Zen monastery in 2013. We are happy to announce that they have decided to decline renting out the space to Shimano and his followers. Here is the statement from Jason Quinn, the abbot of the Providence Zen Center, that we just received:
Adam Tebbe
October 4, 2012
Dear Jason,
I understand that the Providence Zen Center would like to offer an official statement on the May 2013 booking of Diamond Hill Monastery by the followers of Eido Shimano. I look forward to hearing back from you and wish these were more fun times. Thank you.
Jason Quinn
October 5, 2012
Hello Adam,
Thank you for the message and respect to contact me directly. We have many people interested in renting space at both the Providence Zen Center and the Diamond Hill Zen Monastery. Our director is the contact person for exchanging information to rental groups about price and availability. After the exchange, the potential rental is discussed with the management team. The management team then evaluates each group to see if it is a good fit for the current situation. In this specific case, we decided not to rent to this group in 2013.
Hapchang _/l_
Jason Quinn
Original October 2, 2012 posting
One must really pause to question the wisdom of any Zen institution that would offer Eido Shimano a place to teach and lead sesshin, knowing about his long and well-documented history of sexual and ethical misconduct that began when he first came to the United States in 1960. From where I am sitting, for any Zen institution to offer Shimano a place of teaching authority on their grounds is unconscionable. According to a letter from George Zournas to the Trustees of the Zen Studies Society dated 9/14/1982, one Dr. Tadao Ogura (then Senior Psychiatrist of the South Oaks Hospital) agreed, saying of Shimano: "Wherever he goes, he s[h]ould never again be given a position of primary authority." That was the opinion of a highly respected psychiatrist dating as far back as 1982!
And yet, the Providence Zen Center (the international headquarters of the late Zen master Seung Sahn's Kwan Um School of Zen) has knowingly done just that. In an email from Ekyo Ursula Sapeta to Eido Shimano's remaining group of followers, Sapeta writes:
"Eido Roshi kindly agreed to lead sesshin in USA in May 2013.The sesshin will be four and half days, starting Friday evening May 24th and finishing Wednesday May 29th, after lunch.
We have a reservation in beautiful place Diamond Hill Monastery at Providence Zen Center (http://www.providencezen .org)."
Fair enough. The assumption would be that the Providence Zen Center mistakenly booked the reservation for May of 2013, not knowing that the sesshin was to be led by Eido Shimano. This, sadly, is not the case. In an email exchange between the Providence Zen Center's director Jeff Partridge and Rev. Kobutsu Malone dated October 02, the Kwan Um School of Zen's head temple confirmed that Mr. Shimano would indeed be leading sesshin at Diamond Hill Monastery in 2013.
Kobutsu Malone:
Dear Friends,
I am writing to inquire if the Providence Zen Center has actually booked a reservation to host a sesshin conducted by Eido Shimano in May of 2013 as per the attached email?
Thank you in advance for your prompt reply,
Rev. Kobutsu Malone
Jeff Partridge:
Yes I'm working with Ekyo now on the details. Please let me know if I can help with anything else.
Thank you,
Jeff Partridge
Providence Zen Center"

Body-safe -- Sex toys are made from many different materials, with varying amounts of information available about them, and many have not been tested for safety. We always choose better-quality items, and we give special attention to those we know to be safer.
Rechargeable -- Toys that can be recharged reduce the number of batteries that end up in landfill. We also encourage you to use rechargeable batteries if your favorite vibrator operates using disposables.
Note: The video below is not the Stronic Zwei. The video demonstrates the Stronic Eins pulsator, which shares similar magnetic technology and button functionality to the Stronic Zwei.

Customer Reviews
Well, first of all, this is a hefty item -- price, weight and size. It took me some time to relax, but once I did, I followed the suggestion of another reviewer and didn't squeeze or hold it tightly. It's best, once it's in, to just let it loosely rest in your hand. The motion will do the rest. It was pleasant, and it has lots of options, but it didn't rev my engine. And although I felt something, it just didn't give me the results I was hoping for -- namely a G-spot orgasm. I regret the purchase and can see no use for it in the future.
I received the Zwei a couple of days ago, gave it a full charge, and took it for a test drive last night. Ohhhhhhhh mmmmmm yyyyyyyyy! What a ride!!!!
I am still feeling the wonderful effects on my body today.
This bad boy (or girl) isn't for the faint of heart. It is sizable and it took me a bit to warm up enough to accommodate Zwei. It was well worth it as I enjoyed several overwhelming p-spot orgasms. I have a feeling that it is only going to get better as I get accustomed to Zwei's size. It is kind of fun to have such a well-endowed partner.
The thrusting is solid and firm, but not over-the-top. The variety of thrusting patterns keep things interesting and there seems to be a pattern to suit every mood. The quality is top notch, it feels wonderful to the touch, and the shape is wonderful for a guy....and I would think for a woman as well.
Whether you like to fantasize about a pegging scene or a guy-guy scene, the Zwei is your perfect companion for that. My Zwei is my new lover....I just can't decide if I want to call it her or him ;-)
Lets put the price tag aside for a second.
This is a completely unique toy. Used properly this toy yields great results, I was able to achieve a hands free orgasm in about 30 seconds my first time. The bulb at the base's relation to the tip makes it so it's stretching me just a little while it touches the right spot. You have to hold it a certain way to let it work, with a light touch. While the sensations are unmistakable and wonderful squeezing too hard causes the toy not to move as much. You need to stay relaxed.
My curiosity drew me to this toy despite the price tag. It's extremely high quality just like my other Fun Factory toys. I'm a big fan of silicone toys. This isn't smooth silicone, it has a bit of a rough surface and tends to attract lint. No big deal, IMO.
I haven't had it for long and have only used it a couple of times, but I think with some practice this could become one of my favorite toys.

when i feel depressed
I`m leaving Crunchyroll today.
I've been more awake : /
"And not a thing I've done abates my fears."
Dead. Came back home from meeting old school friends and playing football for hours.
You have cancer.
I'm tired of my gf being attached to my hip -___-
and the dad being all up in my shit
and mum mingling with some 30 yr old nigga.
Down the drain.. tsk tsk
i'm tired because i don't sleep enough heh, my own dam fault.
what I do in 1 day (4):
Learn, Game/workout, Sleep, Social
and I have to pick 3...
When you really want something, the whole universe conspires to make it happen.
everyday tired
i love vampire knight hmmmm cool crayz
I get enough sleep. I've ran. I've changed my diet every which way possible. Nothing helped except Wellbutrin and coffee but I'm still constantly on the verge of falling asleep no matter the situation.
Maybe you don't have enough iron in your diet that's a big concern nowadays.
Surfing the net.
Yeah I'm always tired too no matter how much sleep I get. Maybe it has to do with growth?
If the sleeping interferes with your daily activities, even if you activities are just sitting at a computer, you should talk to your doctor about having a sleep study done. Most people with sleep apneia are overweight, but not all...you could have an obstructed airway that doesn't allow you to get enough oxygen when sleeping. If you snore at all, this is a good sign that you may have an obstructed air passage.
Excercise is of course great. You do not have to drink plain water to get you water intake for the day - unsweetened tea has no calories and a little caffeine to help give you a small jolt. I would try to limit caffeine to 20 oz a day - and definitely do NOT drink it a couple hours before you are trying to sleep. You can also get sugarfree kool-aid or other products to give your water flavor, so it won't seem like you are drinking plain ole water.
But biggest thing, if you don't take one, take a multi vitamin with some iron. Vitamins are not just for old people - I take a Flintstone chewable vitamin every morning. It gives you that extra something you might be lacking in your normal diet, and I have not gotten a cold in the 3 years since I started taking vitamins daily. I also recommend vitamin D3 - 2000 I.U a day - from what my doctors tell me, almost noone gets enough vitamin D daily and are deficient. Vitamin D helps your body absorb Calcium. And if you take a Calcium supplement, do not take it with your multivitamin. Iron and Calcium can not be absorbed at the same time.
And getting a fasting glucose test done is never a bad idea - you may also have your doctor check your thyroid. An overactive thyroid can cause you to be overly tired and can cause you to lose weight even with increased intake.
Anyways, hope you figure out what's up.
Officially a home owner!

DualShockers Writes:"Longtime Ninja Gaiden series fans did not keep quiet about their disappointment with Ninja Gaiden 3. The overwhelmingly negative response to the game from fans and critics alike has amounted to a figurative spanking, which has been delivered firmly to the developer's backside.
However, instead of devising some way to alleviate the disappointment of the thousands of players who invested in the Xbox 360 and or PS3 versions of the game, the devs have decided to reserve many vital additions and adjustments for the Wii U exclusive version of the game, known as Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge."
It still looks awful in my personal opinion. I do miss the days of Ninja Gaiden Zigma.
I said it for Bayonetta 2 and I'll say it again. If a game on Wii U looks good, maybe you should just consider buying a Wii U.
I suppose it isn't much different to the Sigma versions the ps3 got i wouldn't call it alienating as much as leaving the ps3/360 versions in an awful state, i think those versions are best left alone and take the lessons they've learnt and apply themselves to the next iteration
That is so f***ed up. They leave PS360 owners with the broken version. I hate when developers/publishers do this. They are never seeing my money again.

New Car Review Video
2012 Toyota Highlander: Totally Tested - Video
The 2012 Toyota Highlander is a car-based, crossover SUV. That means it has the best features of a large, truck based SUV along with more car-like driving dynamics. In fact, the Highlander shares many mechanical components with the Toyota Camry so it kind of feels like a big, tall Camry wagon.
Our test car is a 2012 Toyota Highlander Limited with several options. We're a bit disappointed that the base Highlander, which starts at over $28,000, doesn't have standard iPod/USB or Bluetooth integration. However, it's easy to add via an available package, and it comes standard on all but the lowest priced, base vehicle. Our Limited has the optional JBL Audio system with Bluetooth. That includes the ability to stream music via your mobile device. The 440-watt JBL sound system has 9-speakers including a subwoofer. Satellite radio is part of the package too. These features are included in the navigation package that adds $2,650 to the Highlander Limited's price. The audio system and Bluetooth are available separately for $650 if you don't want the touch-screen, DVD based navigation.
We also added a few extras we think any family would want. All-weather floor mats, roof rails, cargo net and a first-aid kit all add a little extra to the price. Still, the as-tested price of the Highlander Limited with options is under $40,000. However, we're guessing a typical Highlander will be priced closer to $35,000.
Interior Space
As we packed a family of 6 into the Highlander, we realized what a necessity the third row of seats are - if you have more than two kids, it's a feature you might want to consider no matter what SUV you're looking for. Even with the third row of seats in place, there's still some storage space. We had enough space for a family picnic, but a longer trip would have required us to use the roof rack for storage.
Fold all those seats down and there's plenty of space for pretty much anything you'd want to haul.
Off-Road Ability?
Although our Toyota Highlander is front-wheel drive, you can also get all-wheel drive. Fire roads and packed gravel should be no problem for the Highlander, but you'll likely not be able to tackle serious off-road duty. The Toyota Highlander has 8 inches of ground clearance. By comparison, the 2013 Subaru Outback has 8.7 inches of ground clearance and the truck-based Chevy Tahoe has 9.1 inches; the Tahoe also has a base price that's about $10,000 more than the Highlander and the base model Subaru Outback is roughly $5,000 less than the Highlander.
There are plenty of other crossover SUVs to choose from - the Honda Pilot is a direct competitor. It feels more substantial than the Highlander but the Honda's interior isn't as nice. The Mazda CX-9 feels sportier and has a more youthful feel overall. The Chevrolet Traverse feels much larger and has a more useful third row seat. The Kia Sorento and Nissan Pathfinder are decent alternatives too.
In the end, our Highlander handled family duty quite well. It's flexible, comfortable and good-looking. The Highlander is popular for a reason, many need a 7-passenger vehicle but want the reliability and high resale value they associate with Toyota.

Brief SummaryRead full entry
DescriptionEastern Cottontails share habitats with seven other cottontails and six species of hares. They have been transplanted to areas outside their historically widespread range, which included swamps, prairies, woodlands, and forests. They have two ways of escaping danger: a zig-zag dash or a slink, in which they creep along, low to the ground, with their ears back. Eastern Cottontails are among the most prolific lagomorphs. Females can have seven litters a year, producing as many as 35 young. Litters, usually of 3 6, are born in a fur-lined nest of dried grasses and leaves.

This new world designed by Beneteau stems from a collaboration between Berret Racoupeau Yacht Design and the Italian stylist Pierrangelo Andreani. The first in the range, the Oceanis Yacht 62 presents a new art of extravagance at sea.
Beneteau offers the key to a new world – a world apart, in which space, light and design come together in unison to transform your life at sea. At the recent Paris, Dusseldorf, London and Miami boat shows, you learnt our secret: the irst Oceanis Yacht will be launched oficially in Cannes, next September. This new Oceanis
Yacht 62 stems from a collaboration unlike any other between Berret Racoupeau Yacht Design and the Italian stylist Pierangelo Andreani. First of a line developing the 50 to 70 foot yacht, the Oceanis 62 embodies a new way of sharing magical moments at sea: Beneteau' idea of yachting.
The Oceanis Yacht has taut and dynamic lines, setting her very much apart. With a strong bow, low coachroof, and large windows circling the hull and coachroof, she is indisputably an elegant boat. Her style emphasizes her unique character. Her chined hull with a twin rudder and her perfectly balanced sail plan offer her power and safety combined with quick, easy and confident sailing.
The aft space is impressive. Both high-tech and designed for pleasure, she boast a unique completely new tender-garage. With 2 stairways on either side, it is easy and safe to access. Opened by means of a remote control or directly from the helm station, the platform becomes a dock sloping gently into the sea, making it easy to launch your tender. Whether you choose a standard tender or a more sporty jet version, your trips away from the boat are the epitome of simplicity, unheard of on a yacht. With 5 square metres lowering above the sea, the tender garage door turns into a terrace lush with the ocean. With room for tables and chairs, it is an ideal place to enjoy delicious cocktail buffets as the day draws to a close.
Fitted for plancha-style cooking and concealed under the aft bench seat, the exterior galley lifts in one piece, to offer grill, sink and outdoor refrigerator. Since this is accessed directly from the cockpit, you can enjoy what's happening on deck while cooking even dificult dishes. Its leeward position protects the cockpit and the inside of the boat from any possible smoke.
The cockpit easily seats 12 people and has a U-shaped facing bench seat layout. This symmetry frees up the central space making it really easy to move about. With mainsail winches and all forward sail lines leading forward to the helm stations, manoeuvring is easier for the skipper as are the crews' movements.
Inside, the layout of the Oceanis Yacht 62 is organized around a spacious saloon and separate spaces enjoying great privacy. Bathed in light by gigantic hull portholes, the prestigious design of this yacht offers noble materials and unique cabinetwork inishes.
The forward owner's cabin boasts exclusive privacy with an enormous amount of space. Bathed in light, with hues of soft pearl, shades of browns, and padded lining, the airy yet cosy atmosphere offers new sensations of comfort. The huge Island Bed in the centre of the cabin offers ideally peaceful nights. The en-suite shower is a few steps from the bed. It features a spacious shower, and again a wonderful sea view. Your guests will enjoy a unique stay on board in the two cleverly organized aft cabins with their double beds, aft hatch opening and en-suite shower room.
At the centre of the boat, the galley offers access everything going on on board. This 4 metre long space lanks the saloon. With a large fridge and hob, a real extractor hood, extra-large sink, large worktop, wine cellar, among others, it features everything you need to make the best gourmet meals. Particularly innovative, the Corian worktop folds away and the kitchen disappears into the furniture in a snap of a finger. Ideally located, the leather covered hand rails make kitchen work easier, contributing to the success of the most demanding culinary dishes. In the spirit of a scullery, a customizable space for storage is located between the galley and the owner cabin.
The saloon space boasts 2 sofas, one of which is L-shaped and a table offering a variety of positions and seating 10 people.
The top quality inish subtly combines leather, stainless steel, teak, textiles and Corian and the interior cabinetwork and furniture can be personalized offering the luxury of creating a world to match your personality.

18 U.S. Code § 1013 - Farm loan bonds and credit bank debentures
Whoever deceives, defrauds, or imposes upon, or attempts to deceive, defraud, or impose upon any person, partnership, corporation, or association by making any false pretense or representation concerning the character, issue, security, contents, conditions, or terms of any farm loan bond, or coupon, issued by any Federal land bank or banks; or of any debenture, coupon, or other obligation, issued by any Federal intermediate credit bank or banks; or by falsely pretending or representing that any farm loan bond, or coupon, is anything other than, or different from, what it purports to be on the face of said bond or coupon, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both.
Based on sections 985, 1127, and 1317 of title 12, U.S.C., 1940 ed., Banks and Banking (July 17, 1916, ch. 245, § 31, fifth paragraph, 39 Stat. 384; July 17, 1916, ch. 245, § 211(g), as added Mar. 4, 1923, ch. 252, § 2, 42 Stat. 1461; Mar. 4, 1923, ch. 252, title II, § 216(g), 42 Stat. 1473).
This section condenses and simplifies sections 985, 1127, and 1317 of title 12, U.S.C., 1940 ed., Banks and Banking, each of which contained similar provisions and similar language. The punishment provisions of all three sections were the same.
References to "chapter" and "subchapter" were omitted and words describing the various types of banks or organizations to which said sections 985, 1127, and 1317 of title 12, U.S.C., 1940 ed., Banks and Banking, related, were inserted in lieu. This necessitated some rephrasing and transposition of phrases, but without change of meaning or substance.
Words "upon conviction" which were contained in sections 1127 and 1317 of title 12, U.S.C., 1940 ed., Banks and Banking, were omitted as surplusage, because punishment cannot be imposed until after conviction.
Changes were made in phraseology.
1994—Pub. L. 103–322, § 330016(1)(G), substituted "fined under this title" for "fined not more than $500".
Pub. L. 103–322, § 330004(8), struck out ", or by any National Agricultural Credit Corporation" after "credit bank or banks".
1982—Pub. L. 97–297 struck out ", or by any joint-stock land bank or banks" after "issued by any Federal land bank or banks".

I remember when Irbe would stand on his head in front of a crappy team let in a few but win the game. You look at the greats from recent memory and they didnt always have the best defensive team in front of them and that is why they standout. A average goalie with a great defensive team with have inflated stats. Take that goalie and put him on a weak defensive team or a offensive team and you can usually find out whether its the team or the goalie who deserves the stats. Either way an average team with an outstanding goalie will find a way to win.

Back in 2001, we first reported on the Argo project and its plan to deploy a network of 3,000 robots throughout the oceans of the world to capture precise measurements of temperature (+/- 0.005° C) and salinity. The number of deployed robot floats reached 3,000 in 2007. The robots continuously take measurements as they move from the surface to a depth of 2000 meters and back. They've been returning 100,000 measurements per year and, according to a recent news release, in January they passed the 1,000,000 measurement milestone. From the website:
Over 100 research papers per year are now being published using Argo data covering a broad range of topics including water mass properties and formation, air-sea interaction, ocean circulation, mesoscale eddies, ocean dynamics, seasonal-to-decadal variability, and global change analysis. A key objective of Argo is to observe ocean signals related to climate change. This includes regional and global changes in ocean temperature and heat content, salinity and freshwater content, the steric height of the sea surface in relation to total sea level and large-scale ocean circulation.
When the project started over a decade ago there was still widespread uncertainty over the rate and nature of climate change. Today, thanks in part to the precise data returned by these robots, researchers are able to build and test much more accurate models of climate change and carbon sequestration. As rising ocean temperatures cause more and more dramatic weather events, data from the Argo robots will be increasingly important to researchers as they try to accurately model and predict the coming changes. The Argo network data itself is available if you'd like to download it or get it on CD. Argo data is also available through standard climate research databases like the KNMI Climate Explorer and is now the primary source of data used for the NOAA Global Ocean Heat and Salt Content graphs. For more see the special Argo Brochure (PDF format) released for the one millionth measurement profile. Read on to see some cool videos of the Argo bots in action.
