When people think about an "abused woman," they probably don't picture a strong, smart, intelligent, and sassy kind of person. I'd guess they'd picture a housewife wearing Mom jeans crying into her apron over her latest black eye.
Couldn't be farther from the truth. ANY woman can get caught up in a bad relationship - be it the executive down the hall or the janitor who sweeps up after you in the ladies room.
So let's break down those stereotypes and figure out why women - all KINDS of women - stay in bad relationships.
1) Fear of being alone. I know in this day and age, we women are supposed to be tough and fearless, but it's not always the case. We can behave as though we're tough and fearless, while inside, we long to be wanted by our partner.
2) The devil you know versus the devil you don't. There's something comforting in staying with your partner - bad relationship and all - because at least you know what's next.
3) Fear that this is the best there is out there. A lot of people - women who have been in bad relationships, especially - have their self-esteem eroded slowly by their partner (and life) so much that they honestly believe their current partner IS the best they'll ever get.
4) "It's not that bad." I don't know how many times I've run across those words on my non-profit site, where we get a great number of domestic abuse stories sent in to us. Women believe erroneously that because their story isn't as graphic or as horrible as someone else's, it's not really worth it to talk about their partners who really only get upset when they "do something wrong."
5) You're a perfectionist. Everything you do is the BEST out there. Therefore, your relationship must not be broken, it's just facing "challenges." The idea of failure is so tremendous that leaving never even crosses your mind.
6) He has some sort of leverage. Often men who are truly abusive threaten a woman, saying he will hurt her children, her pets, or her family if she leaves him.
7) You love him - plain and simple.
8) You believe he will change. He says he will. He's TRYING to change. You just make him SO MAD. If only you STOPPED making him SO MAD!
9) He makes you feel special beyond compare. Even if you're not quite good enough (his words), he'll manipulate you into feeling grateful that someone like him could be with someone like YOU.
10) You can't see how truly bad it is. Whether it's because you've been isolated from friends or family or you don't want to see how bad things are, you don't have any idea things have gotten this dire.
How do I know all this? I've been there, too.
What are some other reasons women stay in bad relationships?
Image via anathea/Flickr
I know the feeling. I was in a very abusive relationship, and had a lot of these things. Mostly that I couldn't accept failure. I was young, only 18 when we met, and he manipulated me into moving in together eight months later. I was twenty two when I finally wised up and kicked him out, though I had to move in with my parents to feel safe enough to do it. It was him threatening to kill my baby sister that woke me up. Nothing else, not the bloody nose, the other women, the yelling, him slamming a door on my head, nothing other than realizing that he could hurt someone other than me knocked me out of the cycle of abuse.
I don't understand this. My very young 18 year old sister got out of an abusive relationship rather quickly (weeks) after the physical abuse began. I don't understand why other women don't do the same.
There is no excuse for an abusive relationship and to hear about them makes me sick, I lost a friend that I felt was like a brother until one day I had to step in between him and his wife. I not only lost one friend but the whole family it seems. After a month she went back to him and they moved accros the country.
I have been told that sometimes a woman will stay because she knows how to trigger what they call an incident, and afterward he is very sweet and loving. The times when he is sweet and loving, in their mind, make up for all the abuse. I have heard a woman say, "You just see the bad side. He is really sweet to me. Just the other day, he brought flowers home for no reason."
the4mutts - there is nothing "plain and simple" about an abusive relationship, unless you have been there and done that, please don't claim to understand the workings of one, and even then, understand that every relationship, and every person in one, is different, and the dynamics of the relationship are different for the people involved.
Why people do, or do not leave are very complicated, and sitting in your chair in front of your computer, the choices may look very easy, but trust me, they are not, and why so many people, women especially, seem to be so unsupportive of women in these types of situations is beyond me.

A brilliantly simple solution to the space challenged entryway. From Italy, the ceramic hookbox was designed by Luca Nichetto....
...in 2005. The glossy white ceramic container/hook comes in your choice of a red or black interior. Sturdy (can hold 12 lbs on the hook), great looking and...alas, pricey ($270).

$270?!?!?!?!? Are you kidding me?!?!?!? It is cute and practical, but you would have to be insane to pay almost $300 bucks for a hook. Come on Target, where's the $10 version?
exactly what I've been looking for at 10X the price!
Oh for the love of Pete...what's up with all the uber-expensive stuff? This would be soooo easy to create in some sort of durable plastic material for under $20. Come on Ikea and Target...get on it!
come on - as we've heard before on this site to justify the eye-popping price tags attached to design items: you get what you pay for, so i'm sure it will "last a lifetime" and make you feel x-tra special each time you use it. and best of all you will know it's authentic and not some cheap knock-off!
Yes, I'm concerned people might judge my cheap knockoff "hookbox."
I have a rule about hooks- they can't cost more than anything I'm likely to be hanging on them.
uuuugh... I remember seeing these early this year on design sponge and waiting for them to come out... but the price? yeah right! I'll wait for my knock off...

The termination of this year pollen season is predicted during the current week. The decreasing trend of pollen concentration will further drop due to the isolated rain showers/thunderstorms expected in Rawalpindi/Islamabad from 10th – 11th April 2012. Pollination process of most of the plants has been completed and suspended pollen grains may settle down due to expected rain and wind. Therefore it is anticipated that the concentration of allergic pollen will reduce to bearable levels and individuals susceptible to pollen allergy will experience the relief.
This year pollen concentration did not touch the peak values of > 40,000 per cubic meter of air due to erratic weather patterns (continuous low minimum temperature, wet spells, cloudy and windy conditions) throughout the pollen season. The highest pollen count observed in different sectors of Islamabad was 36,164 /m3of air in Sector H-8, 14962 /m3of air in Sector E-8, 13636 /m3of air in Sector F-8, 13472 /m3of air in Sector G-7 and 2474 /m3of air in Sector I-10 on 29th March 2012 during this season.
This winter has been extremely
cold and still lower than normal temperatures have been prevailing. As already
predicted by PMD that this year winter will be extended upto mid March,
accordingly sprouting and blossom season will be delayed by 10-15 days.
Due to belated pollination process, the pollen season will set in around mid
March. The highest concentrations of paper mulberry pollen are expected
during the last decade of March, 2012.
Westerly winds
are mainly expected during March and April, therefore pollen density in the air
over the western zones of Islamabad will be comfortably less than the
eastern zones. It is advisable to the hyper-sensitive individuals to stay away
from Islamabad during the peak concentrations.
PMD will continue issuing
pre-alerts 2-3 days in advance of any serious situation keeping in view the
weather-related indicators.
Pakistan Meteorological Department has installed pollen monitoring devices in each sector of Islamabad (H-8, E-8, F-8, G-7 and I-10) from 25th February 2012. Pollen concentration increases gradually with the onset of spring season and attains its peak concentration around mid March in the capital. The pollens from Paper Mulberry, Pine, Dandelion, Cannabis, Acacia, Alternaria, Eucalyptus and Grasses have been monitored throughout the year since 2004 at PMD Headquarters in H-8/2 Islamabad. Among them Paper Mulberry pollen is found in abundance and its concentration touches the extreme limits of 45,000 per cubic meter of air at the peak of blossom season. People suffering from Asthma and respiratory diseases experience serious consequences due to sharp increase in pollen concentrations. PMD will continue issuing warnings/advisories for allergy patients as and when the situation arises till the end of the season in mid April. The information about pollen concentration in different sectors of Islamabad will be made available on daily basis to the TV channels, Radio and Newspapers. At the same time, it will be regularly uploaded on PMD website: www.pmd.gov.pk. Public may contact at following phone numbers for related information; 051-9250369, 051-9250364, 051-9250363 and 051-9250334 or email at firstname.lastname@example.com queries regarding pollen count.
The severity of
pollen concentration in Islamabad is expected to decrease in the next few days
signifying the end of this year pollen season. This fall in pollen concentration
will be due to another wet spell of rainfall expected in the country during next
couple of days according to prediction of Pakistan Meteorological Department.
Therefore it is anticipated that the concentration of allergic pollen will
reduce from high to low category and individuals susceptible to pollen allergy
will experience the relief.
The allergic pollen in Islamabad has reached 40,527 per cubic meter on Thursday, with very high concentration of 'Paper Mulberry'. The current atmospheric concentration of allergic pollen lies in VERY HIGH category, and the individuals sensitive to allergic pollens must take precautionary measures.
The meteorological conditions indicate an increasing trend in allergic pollens during the current week.

Apple may be hemming and hawing over entering the low-end smart phone market, but Intel's not, as IHS analysts noted Wednesday.
The computer chip maker's Lexington platform, announced at the CES show last week, means "Intel can attempt to address the market with the greatest opportunity for growth in the smartphone business during the next few years," said Francis Sideco, senior principal analyst for wireless communications at IHS in a note Wednesday.
According to IHS, shipments of low-end smartphones will rise at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 51 percent from 2011 to 2016 while high-end smart shipments will only grow at a CAGR of 12 percent.
Intel holds a minimal share of the market for applications processors used in smartphones, an area where Qualcomm dominates.

TENS Units
Technically TENS units are another term that pulse massagers are called. Both of these terms all mean the exact same type of electrical medical device which uses the Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation theory. However, what exactly is TENS? What is the definition of TENS? It is defined in TheFreeDictionary.com as "A technique used to relieve pain in an injured or diseased part of the body in which electrodes applied to the skin deliver intermittent stimulation to surface nerves, blocking the transmission of pain signals." So a TENS unit, which I have been calling a Pulse Massager, works not by somehow somehow soothing muscles but by blocking pain signals which go from the nerve endings to the brain so that the brain can't register that there is pain coming from a region in the body. This type of device is doing something to cover up pain However we know that pain is not always a bad thing. Technically the reason why any living creature would be experiencing pain so to alert the brain and the body that it is being injured or that something is physically causing the body harm. Pain is the signal that goes to the brain to tell it to react to the pain causing stimuli. The brain is then supposed to tell the body to move or react in a way to stop the pain. Avoiding pain is one of the major things that any living organism does. This is why TENS Units are so helpful and useful to any person who wants to find a solution to their pain.
A Complete Listing Of All The TENS Unit Models
TENS 7000 Unit – Price: $50
My Review (Rating is 4.7/5): The TENS 7000 Pain Management TENS Unit is one of the most well known TENS units because it have been used by hundreds of thousand of people ever since it came out years ago. This was the first model beyond the popular models which we found. It was also the first model which we discovered being made by Roscoe Medical aka Current Solutions. They have been making electrical current emitting devices for decades now. Over the years, it has become one of the gold standards for which other companies which design newer models of TENS units strive for… Read more
TENS 3000 Unit – Price: $37
My Review (Rating is 4.7/5): When you look at the device you can see that because of the way that the analog controllers are set up, it is kind of easy to accidently press down on the turn dials, and increase the electrical current amplitude, accidently shocking you. The designers of the model were clever enough to realize this so there is also the additional feature of having what are known as 'safety amplitude caps'… Read more
truMedic PL-009 TENS Unit Massager – Price: $54
My Review (Rating is 8/10): If we look at the specs on this model, the descriptions say the same thing as the product page from the Prospera PL009 Pulse Massager page. They call it the most advanced TENS electrotherapy unit and I sort of agree with them that of all the TENS units that I've seen this is one of the better ones. It seems to be a very popular model of pulse massager for use after you've done the regular workout… Read more
Prospera Pl-009 TENS Unit – Price: $35
My Review (Rating is 8/10): This type of electrical pulse massager from the well known and respected Prospera Corporation is not be intended to be used for pathologies or medical uses actually. It is actually used for people who experience muscle soreness and tension from doing extensive amounts of athletics or physical activity. Sports Therapists, Physical Therapists who are doing rehabilitation programs with people… Read more
InTENSity Twin Stim III TENS and EMS Combo – Price: N/A
My Review (Rating is 4.6/5): The InTENSity Twin Stim III is another one of those TENS Units which has been very effective but not as popular as some other types. It is sold by the company or brand Current Solutions. The way that it is designed means that it looks very futuristic and advanced. Currently you can buy the Twin Stim III from Overstock.com but you can also find something very similar on Amazon which is…Read more
InTENSity 10 TENS Unit- Price: $22
My Review (Rating is 4.6/5): The company Current Solutions makes this specific model of TENS unit called the InTENsity 10, which apparently has 10 modes which makes it one of the TENS Units which we have seen with the most options for the types of massages we are interested in trying out. The company that sells this model is Current Solutions, which seems to focus exclusively on selling TENS Units and the electrode pads that they use. I personally have been aware of… Read more
Twin Stim 2nd Edition TENS and EMS Combo Unit – Price: N/A
My Review (Rating is 4.8/5): The Twin Stim TENS Unit that we are looking right here is apparently more than just another TENS unit. It is in fact what is known as a TENS unit and EMS Unit combo. We have already seen what a EMS unit is like in the Electrical Muscle Stimulator unit before for the EMS5. Obviously most of us are already fully aware on the function and effectiveness of tens units. This model is also being sold by the people at Current Solutions. It seems that as for this specific type of medical device… Read more
EMS 5 Electrical Muscle Stimulator Unit – Price: $48
My Review (Rating is 3.4/5): This model is actually known as a EMS Unit, which is short for Electrical Muscle Stimulator Unit. After looking at the model, we say that it looks a lot like the TENS 3000 model. At least in terms of the outer deisgn, and the carrying case, the look of the two are the same. Obviously this model is branded as a EMS Unit (aka Electrical Muscle Stimulation unit). Refer that a TENS Unit and a EMS unit are two different things. They operate on having an effect on different types of tissue in the body… Read more
InTENSity 5000 Hybrid Digital LED TENS Unit – Price: $47
My Review (Rating is 4.7/5): This model called the InTENSity 5000 Hybrid TENS Unit is one of the more popular models sold by the company Current Solutions. We have already seen something very similar to this model in the Twin Stim III and the InTENSity 10 models. The way that these models are designed is for the more futuristic, sleek design, combining the colors of black, white, and blue together. So is this model, the InTENSity 5000 Hybrid, any better than… Read more
Chattanooga Intelect NMES Digital Portable Electrotherapy Device – Price: $102
My Review (Rating is 9/10): Besides the bigger players in the EMS and TENS unit market, there are some less well known companies and designers who sell the same types of products. One of the smaller pulse massager sellers is Chattanooga. Chattanooga sells and has a smaller selection of TENS Units which they call Portable Digital Electrotherapy Device. The company of Chattanooga Medical Supplies has a product page for this specific model, which they call both the Intelect NMES Digital… Read more
Santamedical Electronic Pulse Massager LFM-110 – Price: $30
My Review (Rating is 8/10): We recently found out that there is supposedly a new brand and type of electronic pulse massagers that have come out and the company that sells the device is called Santamedical or Santa Medical. The product number for the pulse massager is the LFM-110. So we decided to do the Santamedical Electronic Pulse Massager LFM-110 Review to see how it compares to the previous electronic pulse massagers that we have already seen before… Read more
ReBuilder 2407 – Price: $760
My Review (Rating is 8/10): The ReBuilder 2407 is a new device which we have not seen before but has the modes which allows it to use both the TENS and EMS technology. It is sold by a company called ReBuilder Medical Inc. The device is not really termed a TENS Unit or Electrotherapy device. It is used to treat neuropathy. The term "neuropathy" is actually a shortened version of the medical term "Peripheral Neuropathy" (source). The term Peripheral Neuropathy is defined by the Mayo Clinic website as the… Read more
ReBuilder 300 – Price: $510
My Review (Rating is 9/10): After we did the Rebuilder 2407 Review we realized that the company Rebuilder actually calls the 2407 model another name, the ReBuilder Deluxe. This model, the Rebuilder 300 is apparently the original, weaker model. This is the Rebuilder 300 review which we realize needed to be written to help any potential buyer from distinguishing between the two Rebuilder TENS Unit models. From looking at the actual ReBuilder website, we see that it has a lower number because it lacks certain features which… Read more
Ultima Neuro Neuropathy Treatment System – Price: $138
My Review (Rating is 8/10): This neuropathy pain treatment product , called the Ultima Neuro Neuropathy Treatment System, is one of the most interesting TENS Unit like products that we have seen so far. It is very similar to the peripheral neuropathy pain relief devices we have seen with the ReBuilder models like theRebuilder 300 and the Rebuilder 2407. What makes this model different from the others is that with the entire neuropathy pain treatment kit, there is included… Read more
Drive AGF-3E Economy Dual Channel TENS Unit – Price: $38
My Review (Rating is 9/10: This model of TENS Unit is labeled the AGF-3E, or the Drive AGF-3E Economy Dual Channel TENS Unit. It is another model sold by the company Roscoe Medical, which is very big in this field of pain relief devices known as electrotherapy devices. This model has a strange model name, which is just a combination of letters and numbers, not like the TENS 7000 and TENS 3000. In terms of appearance, it actually sort of looks like the other models that come from the same company… Read more
Roscoe Medical Dual Channel TENS-1000BN - Price: $40
My Review (Rating is N/A): We have already done reviews on the TENS 7000, the TENS 3000, and TENS 6000. This is the TENS-1000BN Review. Some sellers call this model the TENS-1000, not the 1000BN. Roscoe Medical is a company that makes some of the best TENS Units and IF Therapy devices around. For this model, it is a dual channel device which has only 1 mode to it. We note that it is one of the oldest models of electrotherapy device that we have seen so far… Read more
Beautyko Accupulser Pro Electronic Pulse Massager HG6838 – Price: $99
My Review (Rating is N/A): Back when we were first starting out, we were reviewing product which we didn't realize were being sold under multiple different names. This product, which has the official name of "Accupulser Pro Trigger Point Electronic Pulse Stimulation Massager" has already been reviewed by us before. We had called it the "Electro-Acupressure Stimulator" which was sold by a company or seller calling themselves JT-05. We now realize that the product was renamed to be… Read more
Roscoe Medical Pro Dual Channel Tens Unit 6000 – Price: $55
My Review (Rating is N/A): This model known as the TENS 6000. It seems to be modeled in the same way as the models which we have reviewed before by Roscoe Medical. Those models would be TENS 3000 and TENS 7000. Based on our first impression, it doesn't seem to be as feature rich and powerful as the others. Does it also have the ability to lt you adjust analog knobs to change the pulse width, pulse frequency, and intensity? We will see how well it does compared to the other models that are more popular… Read more
EQ Pulse Massager – Price: $79
My Review (Rating is 10/10): This model called the EQ Pulse Massager makes us remember back to the IQ Massager Pro (and IQ Massager Pro II) which looks a lot like this model here. However when we did the initial research on seeing what is said about this particular model, there seems to be more information on the EQ Pulse Massager than we believed. It seems that the EQ Massager is a very popular model which we didn't realize existed until very recently… Read more
Veridian Healthcare 22-030 Tiny Tens Electric Massager – Price: $30
My Review (Rating is 9/10): This model which is called the Tiny TENS Electrical Nerve Stimulator seems to be one of those devices which are being resold in many online stores under different names. This seems to be a very common practice among resellers and middle men who sell electrotherapy devices or EMS Units. Sometimes we are not sure what is the real name of a device since there are so many different variations of it. As for this model, it is most often called the Tiny Tens. The Tiny part obviously refers to how small the device is. The Tens part refer to the fact that the device operates… Read more (or read the 2nd review of the Veridian Tiny TENS Electrical Nerve Stimulator)
Intelect Standard Dual Channel TENS Nerve Stimulator – Price: $82
My Review (Rating is N/A): This model which is called the Intelect Standard Dual Channel TENS Nerve Stimulator seems to have been labeled both a TENS Unit and a Nerve Stimulator. We wanted to try to find the model from the original source to see what are the product description and specifications. We found from a quick Google Search that the Intelect TENS is sold on the ActiveForever website. On that website it is sold as two different products, with different names. They are… Read more
Omron Electronic Nerve Stimulator HV-F128-E - Price: $208
My Review (Rating is N/A): This device is labeled a completely different name, Electronic Nerve Stimulator. It is neither a pulse massager or a TENS Unit. However we understand that the labels are all referring to the same type of medical pain relief device. The pain relief devices operate on the idea of sending electric current aka signals in an intermittent fashion to product some type of muscular and neurological effect… Read more (or read the review on the exact same model relabeled the Eleparesu Therapy Apparatus HV-F128)
Twin Stim Plus Digital TENS unit – Price: $144
My Review (Rating is N/A): The Twin Stim Plus TENS Unit is one of the models sold by Roscoe Medical and it may be the most advanced digital TENS Unit we have ever seen. We have already seen what the model TENS 7000 unit is capable of, with its ability to change even the pulse width but this model has so many features that it probably gets very confusing in figuring out how to use this device properly using the owner's operating manual provided. When you open up the front hinge to see what the controller and buttons are like… Read more
Omron E2 Elite Electronic Nerve Stimulator HV-F127-E - Price: $249
My Review (Rating is N/A): For a long time we were only aware of another model of electrotherapy pulse massager by Omron. We had been calling it the PM3030 model. Then we found out that the model was being sold on the Omron Heathcare website under a different name, the Soft Touch HV-F158-E. Then there was the model Electronic Nerve Stimulator HV-128. This model is the Electronic Nerve Stimulator HV-F127 or HV-F127-E. It is probably one of the three real models currently sold on the Omron website – Read more
Omron 3D Elepalse Pro Low frequency Electric Therapy Device – Price: $134
My Review (Rating is N/A): Read more
Omron HV-F011 Low Frequency Electrotherapy Device – Price: $49
My Review (Rating is N/A): Read more
NeuroTrac Pelvic Tone Tens Machine - Price: $95
Review (Rating is 9/10): We have known about the NeuroTrac models of TENS units ever since we found the NeuroTract TENS Machine aka NT3. This line of pain relief devices sold in the UK or Australia seems to be very popular outside the USA. We are not sure if these types are available in Canada though. As for the device itself, this particular model might be called TENS Machine but the purpose of it makes it work more as a EMS Unit or Electrical Muscle Stimulator. The purpose of it is NOT to relief pain but to give the muscles close to the genitalia area a good workout. We found this particular model being sold on a UK online store selling Pelvic Toning Devices called Pelvic-Toners.co.uk. From the testimonials found on the product page, this model is used by women who just went through - Read more
TensCare itouch Sure Pelvic Floor Exerciser - Price: $70
Review (Rating is 9/10): This is another EMS unit sold in other countries that uses the same phenomena of pulsed electrical currents to get the muscles in that specific area of the body to become more stimulated. These devices are used to treat bladder control disorders like incontinence, specifically urinary incontinence. This particular model is called the TensCare itouch Sure Pelvic Floor Exercise unit. It exercise and tones the pelvic floor muscle. It works in a similar way that Kegel exercises work. During Kegel exercises the muscle region known as the Pubococcygeus Muscles aka PC Muscles are squeezed to - Read more

NeuroTrac TENS Machine NT3 – Price: $65
Review (Rating is 9/10): We were not aware of the NeuroTrac TENS Machine (NT3) because this particular model seems to be sold primarily in the UK as well as in Australia. This model was found on the TENS Pain Relief website. From what is said in the reviews we are fairly impressed by the model. We really like this particular model for two main reasons. One of the reasons is because of how large the readings are on the LCD display screen and the other is that you seem to have the option to not just set the intensity level of the two channels, but also the pulse width. Pulse width is measured in microseconds and you can see from the screen display that the value of the pulse width is displayed. That is something you are not going to find in most models – Read more
Fuego Heating TENS Unit – Price: $60
Review: We found this device called the Fuego Heating TENS Unit only recently. This model sold by Fuego is unique for the feature of it being able to also use heat as a form of pain relief therapy treatment. The device is often called the Digital Heating TENS by Fuego. We found the model sold on the website OTC Wholsale. We also got the Heating TENS Unit Operating Manual. There is a total of 9 different massage modes, which correspond to 9 different areas of the body to stimulate. It combines together the usual type of nerve stimulation with the heating benefits for a even greater ability for pain alleviation – Read more
Koalaty Twin Stim 2nd Edition – Price: $60
Review: It was hard to track down the Koalaty Twin Stim 2nd Ed TENS Unit. We were not sure if this device was actually just the Twin Stim model which has been sold by Current Solutions of the Roscoe Medical Company. We have already reviewed the Twin Stim 2nd Ed. device already. When we found the website www.KoalatyProducts.com and it redirected us to the Current Solutions aka Roscoe Medical website, we realized that the device was indeed the same one. Technically the model is an Combo Device, which is used both as a TENS Unit and EMS Stimualor. The three main websites that you can get the device is OTC Wholsale, Allegro Medical, and Med Plus Medical Supply. We suggest buying the device from Overstock.com – Read more
Twin Stim 3 (Digital TENS and EMS Combo) – Price: $60
Review: We have already done a full review on the Twin Stim, the Twin Stim 2nd Edition, and the Twin Stim Plus. Now it is time to take a look at the Twin Stim 3, which is a type of Digital TENS Unit and EMS Unit combination. This particular model sold by Current Solutions is extremely popular. That means that multiple large online stores carry the particular model. We looked at all the stores, like TensPros.com but we eventually settled on the Overstock.com website. In general, the specialty medical supplies stores will have the device priced higher than the bigger websites. Places like Ebay, Walmart, Amazon, and Overstock have these particular devices at least around $10 cheaper than the smaller websites. – Read more
Professional Dual Channel Electronic Massager – Price: N/A
Review: The Professional Dual Channel Electronic Massager is a new model of pulse massager/ TENS Unit which we just found out about. It is very different in design to the other models that we have seen. We are sort of amazed to see just how large the screen is and how much information is provided. From a quick look on the model we see that is a dual channeled device, as advertised in its product description. That means that the central control unit can modulate 4 different electrode pads at the same time. On the screen it shows the intensity level and the timer for both of the channels. The great thing about having different channels is the ability to switch between the channels and adjust the frequency and intensity of each channel to be independent of each other. – Read more
Dundex Dual Channel TENS Machine – Price: N/A
Review: We have been trying to track down where the Dundex Dual Channel TENS Machine originated from. After extensive searching we figured out that the model was being sold under at least one different name. The model was already being sold under the name Professional Dual Channel Electronic Massager. This particular model has been extremely hard to find. Almost not online stores carry this particular model anymore. We were lucky to figure out the other name it goes by because it is sold on Amazon. Unfortunately that particular model is no longer on Amazon. We suspect that the model is no longer being offered anywhere. So what is a good alternative to this particular model? - Read more
LG-Quad Combo – Price:
Review: This is the 2nd model which we found from the LG (LG Medical Supply) website. The reason it has been called the Quad Combo is that you get 4 different treatment modalities in one unit. While most people are already familiar with the Electrical Muscle Stimulations (EMS) and Transcutaneous Nerve Electrical Stimulation (TENS) Modality, this portable neuromuscular electrical stimulation device can also do more. It is also considered to an Interferential Uni as well as a Micro-Current device. The major difference between all 4 modalities is either the frequency of the type of electrical current being emitted or the intensity of the signal.
LG-TEC Elite – Price:
Review: We found from the LG Medical Supply website the model. While the brand name of the device is the "LG-TEC Elite" it is described as a DIGITAL Dual COMBO TENS Unit and Muscle Stimulator
LG-TEC 8 Mode Combo – Price: $140
Review: The model called the LG-TEC 8 Mode Combo which we have listed is actually sort of misleading. What we probably should have called the particular model is the LG-TEC Dual Combo TENS/EMS Unit. – Read more
VIBE TENS Unit (12 Program TENS Unit) – Price: $148
Review: We were informed about this particular model of TENS Unit by another online store (Tens Unit Store Online) and they told us abut this model which has a total of 12 different massage programs which you can choose from. The actual name for this particular model is called the VIBE TENS Unit. This particular model can emit 4 different types of wave forms. Those 4 different types are continuous, pulsed, burst, and pulse moderation - Read more
8 Electrode TENS Muscle Stimulator (Twin Stim Plus) – Price: $159
Review: For a while now we have been calling this model the 8 Electrode TENS and Muscle Stimulator but we had to go back to see where the model was coming from. It seems that the particular model was a listing found from the Tens Unit Store Online website and it was listed under that name for the Twin Stim Plus type. As we might remember the Twin Stim Plus was a model which was original sold by the people at Current Solutions. What probably happened was that Current Solutions who actually designed the devices and had them made in some China manufacturing factories sold their particular models to various online resellers which became the middle man. For the people at the Tens Unit Store Online website we found that they have been called that particular model the 8TM. It was made back in 2010 as a 3rd edition device – Read more
US 1000 Portable Ultrasound Unit (by Current Solutions) – Price: $100
Review: Technically these portable ultrasounc unit devices are not exactly TENS Units, but the two different medical/health devices have the same overall functions. Whethere you are going to be using ultrasound or ultrasonic waves, or electrical current, the final objective is to manage pain and provide some form of pain relief. This particular models is called the US 1000 Portable Ultrasound Unit sold by Current Solutions. We have been very big fans of Current Solutions aka Roscoe Medical for a very long time. We love their series of TENS Units. This would be the first time we have actually ever taken a close look at the Ultrasound units that they sell – Read more
US Pro 2000 Professional Portable Ultrasound Unit – Price: $100
Review: The US Pro Professional Portabel Ultrasound Unit is found online only two online stores. You can either get it from the Overstock website which will have it listed for around $95 but you can also get it from the TENS Unit Store Online website which have it listed as the US Pro 2000 Home Ultrasound Unit. However on that speciality website it would be costing you around $165. In terms of price then you want to get it from the larger, more well known website. We did find it from smaller medical supply websites but we chose not to list those websites. As for the devices, it is a type of pain relief device that does not use intermittent pulsing electrical current stimuli like what we are so used to seeing – Read more
Elite TENS Unit – Digital Dual Combo – InTENSity Twin Stim III – Price: $100
EMS 7500 Second Edition – Price: $100
IF 4K Digital – Price: $179
Twin Stim Plus – Price: $139
Review: We understand that some people might be confused when they see this model. It seems like there are multiple TENS Units with the same name Twin Stim. They are absolutely right. There are more than one type of device sold by the people at Roscoe Medical called Twin Stim. At last count we had listed a total of 3 different models. There is the original Twin Stim, the Twin Stim II (or Twin Stim 2), the Twin Stim III (or Twin Stim 3), and the Twin Stim Plus, Read more
CareTec IV – Price: $176
Review: Before we had wrote a short review on the Care Tec II. This is the review for the similar model the CareTec IV (or CareTec 4). When we did a google search to find more information about this particular model we had found that it was almost exactly the same as the CareTec II. They look the same, with the same size and screen, and button controls. This particular model is described as a combination model. It combines 4 different forms of pain relief treatment ideas. Besides the usual transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation and electrical muscle stimulation pain therapies, it also adds in the russian stim therapy and something known as interferential therapy – Read more
CareTec II – Price: N/A
Review: We are not sure who designs the series and models the CareTec II TENS Unit (or CareTec 2). The particular model can be found on TensNet.com and Discount Medical Supplies website. From the Discountr Medical Supplies website they say that the product is from the Tens Net website. they have been listed – Read more
Dual Combo TENS and Muscle Stimulator – Price: $120
Review: The Dual Combo TENS and Muscle Stimulator was a model which we have already looked at before. It has been named different things, from the LG-TEC 8 Mode Combo to the 8 Electrode TENS Muscle Stimulator or even the Twin Stim Plus. We found the model listed on the LG Medical Supply website and managed to upload the instructions manual for the particular model Here. We took a picture of the product specifications of it and posted below. - Read more

My crease incision from breast augmentation will be closed with external nylon sutures. I have heard different stories as to the timing of suture removal. Is 3 weeks too long for the nylon suture to be left in place? Will my skin grow over the sutures? What are some of the possible complications with these types of sutures left in place for that long? Your insights will be appreciated. Thanks very much.
When Should Breast Augmentation Sutures Be Removed?
Doctor Answers (21)
Removable sutures and the timing for removal
Removable sutures need to be removed relatively soon after placement to minimize noticeable scarring, but the exact timing depends upon what other measures have been used to support the wound. If other dissolving sutures are placed under the Nylon sutures, then the Nylon can be removed earlier with little risk of wound disruption.
Ask your surgeon as the exact timing depends upon the technique he or she used.
Suture Removal After Breast Augmentation
The decision in using dissolvable sutures vs non-dissolvable sutures is dependent on the preference of the surgeon.
Dissolvable sutures will last longer to maintain the integrity of the wound edges. However, if they are placed superficially at the skin edge, they may dissolve too quickly and lead to the small suture abscess/infection.
These little suture abscesses can lead to a noticeable scar. Thus, some surgeons will use non-dissolvable sutures on the superficial skin closure.
In general, most sutures that are non-dissolvable should be removed in 5-7 days.
Suture removal after breast augmentation
Thanks for your question -
Each surgeon may use different techniques to close incisions after breast augmentation. In our San Francisco area practice we do not use sutures that need to be removed.
When thinking about permanent sutures (like nylon or prolene) sometimes leaving these sutures in for more than a week can leave "track marks" along the incision. This can be avoided when using these types of suture by varying the placement of the suture, for example placing the suture with a "running subcuticular" where the suture ends exit the ends of the wound only avoids the potential scar issues of a traditional "baseball" stitch.
I hope this helps.

Breast augmentation suture removal
Leaving sutures in place for too long can lead to additional scarring.
Factors determining the timing of suture removal depend on the type of skin closure.
1. If there is individual sutures going across the incision, they usually have to be removed within 5-7 days. Otherwise they can cause residual/permanent marks in the skin after they are removed.
2. If you have a removable sub-cuticular closure (in which case you can only see the suture at the ends of your incision), then they can be removed up to 2 weeks after surgery with no problem.
3. If you have a absorbable sub-cuticular closure (no stitches are visible), then you never have to have the sutures removed and they will go away on their own over a period of several weeks.
The most common approaches are # 2 and #3. However, if performed properly, all approaches can yield a good result.
I hope you find this information helpful.
Good luck with your procedure.
Leaving nylon stitch in for 3 weeks depends on technique.
This is perfectly acceptable depending on the technique used to place the nylon sutures. In many cases the stitch runs beneath the surface and comes through the skin only at the beginning and end of the incision (subcuticular). Leaving it in for 3 weeks tends to keep the wound from spreading wide during the most active part of the healing process.
If howeever, individual stitches are placed, then generally, you would want to have them removed prior to 3 weeks to avoid stitch marks.
Some surgeons actually bury a permanent stitch (polypropylene) beneath the surface for 6 months prior to removing it .
Removing Sutures
Web reference: https://www.edelsteincosmetic.com/learning-centre/breast-augmentation/post-operative-instructions.php
Nylon sutures
Suture Removal Following Breast Augmentation
The timing of suture removal is dependent upon several variables. These include the type of suture material used, the technique used and how the wound is healing.
Not all sutures require removal and plastic surgeons frequently use absorbable sutures which dissolve on their own. Your surgeon has chosen non-absorbable nylon sutures which eventually require removal. The timing of removal depends on the surgeons technique and how the wound is healing.
When interupted nylon sutures are used, they're removed in about a week to avoid cross hatching of the scars. When a subcuticuler technique is used, the sutures are partially buried and can therefore be left in place for up to three weeks.
Check with your surgeon
Thank you for your question.
Three weeks is too long to leave the sutures in place. They should generally be removed within five to ten days. If the sutures are left in too long, this could cause the scar to heal unevenly.
Most surgeons use dissovable sutures, but removable sutures are also okay. Usually, the outside sutures are removed within a few days. Make sure that you speak with your board certified plastic surgeon to avoid any possible compllications.
Have a great day!
Possible additional scarring of breast augmentation incision line
External sutures left in too long will result in a number of small dots located on either side of the incision line. The sutures themselves are a form of trauma that result in small puncture wounds. The body will try to heal the area by having cells travel down the sutures making small scar dots if left in too long.
On the trunk, I do not like to leave external sutures in place for longer than 10 days. It would be rare to have additional scarring due to sutures in place for 10 days or less.

A cinematic bounty
Refreshingly real and free of special effects, Bourne director Paul Greengrass has taken a true story that is both inspiring and incredible, and turned it into what is almost certainly the best action thriller of the year. A top-of-his-game Tom Hanks helps (his last 10 minutes as the captain, in particular, are quite extraordinary), but of equal – if not more – importance is the performance of newcomer Barkhad Abdi as Somali pirate leader muse. Despite exhibiting a terrifying, violent intensity for nigh on two hours, we come to deeply empathise with him by the time the film reaches its conclusion – he is just a young man with no other life option than the path he has trodden. Go to see it as soon as possible.
HM At cinemas nationwide from 18 Oct; Sony
Extraordinary occurrences under ordinary circumstances form the basis of this surprisingly good British thriller, where everyman characters find themselves trapped in a speeding train with cut brakes. The plot evolves into a whodunit, with commuters left trying to decipher who is responsible for their seemingly imminent doom. Using just a few train carriages and a handful of actors, an impressive level of suspense and claustrophobia is created, which is happily cliché-free.
CE At cinemas nationwide from 18 Oct; Kaleidoscope
James Gandolfini doesn't scream romcom, but lo and behold, here's the big man doing a fine job as a single father in a comedic tryst with a single mum (Julia Louis-Dreyfus, pictured with Gandolfini). Of course, nothing's ever simple, especially when Louis-Dreyfus's new best friend Marianne (Catherine Keener) turns out to be her lover's bean-spilling, hyper-critical ex. But farce levels are mercifully minimal and Gandolfini, in his penultimate posthumous film, exhibits the same vulnerability he did as Tony Soprano – just minus all the whacking.

GOP Bios and the gtx 700 series-a question
Another reason why I bought a second asus gtx 760 was because that card (the DCII oc version) has a GOP video bios in it to allow for windows 8 fast boots. Now I am old school and didn't know how to activate the UEFI features on my board. With a little research, I was able to do so and now go from 15 second boot times to 6-7 second boot times into windows 8. The question I have is this: Did all of the gtx 700 series get GOP bioses from all vendors or is it still a vendor specific thing to add it later. Because my cards came with the GOP bios right out of the box. I found this out when reading reviews for the cards I have. So if anyone could shed some light on this it would be appreciated.

A Bit About Caney Creek
Caney Creek Music is the newest country band to hit the country music scene.
Born in Eldorado, Arkansas and raised in Jonesville, Louisiana, Michael Coleman became interested in music at a young age. Michael began playing the drums at age 10 with his family and friends and has been on stage ever since.
Traveling all over the country to perform, he finally settled down in Splendora, Texas to raise his family. Michael had to regrettably stop performing to take care of his growing family. He worked as a welder, AC/ heating technician, and hauled logs to and from saw mills.
Now that his family is grown, Michael wants to pursue his passion in music full-time after much encouragement from his wife and children who have always believed in him.
Although still currently driving trucks on pipelines, Michael found the time to record two tracks in Nashville without hindering his lifestyle to provide for his family.
Working with some of the greats in the music industry, Michael was no stranger to glamour, but being around so many celebrity musicians made him feel small. He was surprised that everyone eventually made him feel comfortable. Having Roger Eaton (guitarist/vocalist/producer) brought the best out of Michael. Roger pushed him to record at his very best, and everyone seemed to be impressed with Michael's talent.
"Seems that music had always been in the back of my heart, with every job path I've taken, it may have been in the back, but it has never left me," quotes Michael. "Appears that it's just come together for me." "And we know that GOD causes everything to work together for the good of those who love GOD and are called according to his purpose for them." Romans 8:28

Sept. 4, 2012 -- A new study shows that children who are overweight or obese may face problems with brain development, especially if they have risk factors for metabolic syndrome.
Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of problems that set the stage for diabetes and heart disease.
The risks for metabolic syndrome include:
Researcher Antonio Convit, MD, says the bottom line is, "We are seeing brain changes in kids with metabolic syndrome and we don't know if this is reversible."
Children with metabolic syndrome scored 10% lower on mental tasks that are important for learning, he says. The findings appear in Pediatrics.
In the new study, obese or overweight teens with metabolic syndrome could not read as well, scored worse on math tests, and took longer to complete tasks than children who did not have metabolic syndrome. What's more, their brains also had physical differences.
The new study included 49 teens with metabolic syndrome and 62 without it. The more metabolic syndrome risks that participants had, the more pronounced the brain changes were, the study shows.
Convit calls for testing for insulin resistance among at-risk children, particularly those who are very overweight and those who have a family history of diabetes or heart disease.
Other solutions include having physical education programs in school. "We should invest more in physical education so kids are fitter and less likely to have insulin resistance, which is the main driver of these brain changes."
Insulin is a hormone that helps the body turn sugar into energy. Insulin resistance occurs when the body does not use insulin properly.
Michele Mietus-Snyder, MD, says the new findings should serve as a wake-up call.
"Every cell in every organ system requires energy to live and insulin is the gatekeeper," she says. "Insulin resistance has reached beyond the traditional organ systems to the brain."
"We need to be very vigilant when children start to gain belly fat because we don't want children to fall behind the metabolic eight ball." If that occurs, it becomes a catch-22. "How can you expect someone to make healthy choices when they are [mentally] impaired?"
Scott Kahan, MD, MPH, is the director of the National Center for Weight and Wellness in Washington, D.C. "Metabolic syndrome was unheard of in kids until recently," he says. "It is striking that a significant number of kids have metabolic syndrome, but the fact that we can show further consequences in the brain is even more striking."

Found December 30, 2012 on Taking Bad Schotz:
PLAYERS: Marcus Vick, Michael Vick, Elvis Dumervil
TEAMS: Philadelphia Eagles, Denver Broncos, Miami Dolphins, Virginia Tech Hokies
TEAMS: Philadelphia Eagles, Denver Broncos, Miami Dolphins, Virginia Tech Hokies
Marcus Vick, the younger brother of Michael Vick was a terrific quarterback when he played at Virginia Tech. As a Junior he threw for 2,868 yards with 19 TDs and rushed for 492 yards with 6 TDs. Vick led Virginia Tech to an 11-2 record that year and a victory in the Gator Bowl where they scored 22 unanswered points to defeat Louisville 35-24. Marcus Vick showed flashes of brilliance as a dual-threat quarterback and kept defenses on their heels. With an almost identical style of play to his brother's, Marcus was able to make plays and leave his opponents one step behind with his jukes and quickness. Although his style of play was crisp and clean Marcus Vick was anything but clean. In the Gator Bowl against Louisville you can see he blatantly stomps on Elvis Dumervil's leg. (below) Click here to view the video on YouTube. This reaction along with two misdemeanor charges of speeding and driving with a suspended license led to Vick's release from the team in 2006. Vick was forced to sit out the 2004 season due to previous legal incidents. Vick's violation of VT's "zero tolerance policy" led to his removal from the team and expulsion from the University. A week later on January 10, 2006 Vick was involved in a verbal altercation in a McDonald's parking lot with three other teens. He proceeded to threaten them with a firearm. The teens were allegedly "taunting" Vick and he showed the gun to scare them. After this incident, Vick declared he would enter the NFL Draft but was not selected. In 2007, the Miami Dolphins added him as an undrafted free agent but he was later released from the team. His legal troubles have continued since then as he was involved in a civil lawsuit involving a 15 year old girl who claims he forced her into a sexual situation. He also received many more traffic incidents for convicted DUI, eluding police, and driving on the wrong side of the road. Marcus Vick has been in and out of jail released on bond and has put himself into multiple dangerous situations. For now, he continues to duck the penitentiary but what remains is the fact that this man had endless talent, plenty of potential and the path narrowed out for him but he was unable to keep himself out of trouble. Maybe living in his brother's shadow created pressure that Vick couldn't handle. Maybe he thought he could live the lifestyle he wanted and get away with it at the professional level. Either way, it is a sad sight to see Marcus Vick's name in the news for continuous legal issues rather than highlights of his incredible moves that every sports fan loves to see. Maybe the NFL isn't for everyone, but it is certainly a disappointment to see such phenomenal talent go to waste. -Romaker

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"We were looking for a lavender as the primary color for our invitation and when we saw this one with the green accents (our secondary color), we instictavely knew it would be the right one for us! We were thrilled when we saw the sample and ordered them that day. The paper has a wonderful texture and weight. The ink color is not quite as lavender in person as it looks on the computer, but is still a very pretty color. AND we got the invitations over a week early...great service! Thank you for making this part of our wedding so easy."
"I ordered a Save the Date Sample and an Invitation Sample and both arrived in such a classy, stunning portfolio with examples of paper types and colors and other useful tips and information. Such a beautiful package! I absolutely cannot wait to order these for my Southern lowcountry Wedding next year! I do not need to look any further. These are the first and only samples I have ordered from anywhere and they are BEAUTIFUL. This Company is a Class Act."
"My fiancé always said she would never become a bridezilla, but when it comes down to it, everyone woman just wants her dream day to be perfect. I pulled the trigger on ordering these without giving her much time to think about it - and Wedding Paper Divas did not disappoint! The ink was crisp and professional, the colors true to image, and the paper was heavy and well textured. Turnaround time exceeded our expectations by several days. Happy to say that we needed to order more invites!!"
"We love the look of our invitations. I really wanted the invitation to "set the tone" for our wedding and these were perfect for our summer outdoor wedding in Vail, Colorado. We have received a lot of positive feedback from our guests. The paper and print quality was excellent and we received them in less time than anticipated."
"My fiancée and I ordered a sample of this thinking it was kind of okay. We had originally preferred another invitation but this struck us as interesting. This invite blew the other one out of the water. The picture on your computer screen cannot do justice to the beauty of the detail in this invitation. It is so elegant. We are getting married at a farm that has an expansive apple orchard and this was a home run for what we were looking for. We are keeping the main text a chocolate color like the picture and having our names done in a deep purple. I would recommend this to any couple with a rustic or outdoor themed wedding. Order the sample. You won't be disappointed."

Sick is the new blackWhy are so many women freaking out about getting sick? We explore the growing phenomenon.
I once knew a woman in her mid-20s — let's call her Kate — who, in the three years we worked together, never had a cold. That's not to say Kate never took a sick day, because she took plenty. Whenever she was under the weather — scratchy throat, upset stomach, you name it — she immediately informed our boss she was feeling ill and ran to the doctor's office. And if that doctor didn't send Kate home with a prescription for Zithromax (or "Z-pack," as she familiarly called it), she'd make an appointment with a specialist, certain that her general practitioner had overlooked something critical. Bronchitis. Kidney infection. A parasite. Whatever. Over the course of our working relationship, I'd received dozens of dire e-mails from Kate in which she expressed utter certainty that she'd come down with every malady imaginable short of West Nile. (And had we not been experiencing the snowiest winter in history last year, I'm certain she'd have taken her mosquito bites to an epidemiologist for a look, too.)
To be clear, Kate wasn't a classic hypochondriac, worrying that every paper cut was a staph infection waiting to happen. She was smart, educated, and driven, a textbook overachiever who happened to use doctors the way Beyoncé wannabes use YouTube — to prove they're somehow special, though, let's face it, most of the time they really aren't. Odds are good you know someone just like Kate — she's one of the millions of young women who have no hesitation heading to the doctor at the first sign of flushed cheeks. According to the Centers for Disease Control, a woman between the ages of 18 and 44 averaged 2.6 doctor visits a year in 1995. As of 2009, it was about 3.2 visits. (Men averaged only 1.4 visits a year in 2009.) That amounts to roughly 34 million more doctor visits a year — and if you've ever stewed in your physician's waiting area for almost an hour just to see her for all of 10 minutes, you understand very well what the net effect of all those extra visits is.
So why are more women heading to the doctor more often? "It's not likely because they're sicker than they used to be," says Elaine Larson, professor of epidemiology at Columbia University School of Public Health. Larson thinks it's all those over-wrought, soft-lens TV ads for prescription drugs — strict regulations governing direct-to-consumer advertising were loosened up in 1997 — that encourage patients to essentially diagnose themselves and "'ask their doctor' about every symptom." In fact, an FDA study conducted in 2002 confirmed a link between drug ads and a surge in patient inquiries about specific brand-name medications.
Other factors have contributed to the growing number of women making knee-jerk visits to their doctors. Among them: cable news virus-mongering. Though antibiotic-resistant MRSA, mad cow disease, swine flu, bird flu, and SARS are extremely rare and affect only a tiny speck of the U.S. population (you have better odds of winning the Powerball while on a date with Ryan Gosling than contracting any one of these oddball maladies), the constant, blaring coverage of these "pandemics" no doubt heightens the hysteria that your cough isn't really just a cough. In early September, I caught an episode of Katie Couric's new talk show featuring 24-year-old all-American beauty Aimee Copeland, who, over the span of two weeks, was rendered a quadruple amputee by a flesh- eating virus. Trust me, after seeing something like that, I certainly wouldn't cast aspersions on anyone who ran to the doctor with a particularly gruesome nick incurred while shaving.

Brock Lesnar – This Is 100 Percent Real.
lol he must think ufc is 200% real
God i love this guy
STFU!! I think we get the point!
Too bad his acting is 100% horrible.
100% real stupid.
bruno takin the piss and people goin nuts
HAHA I thought the same thing.If something fake is still 100% real how many % does something real have?
100% real fake wrestling
Ha well god bless him. He made the heavy weight division of the UFC good for the first time in years. Love him or hate him, you gotta give him props for that. Plus he wasn't fighting tomato cans like alot of fighters do when they start *Pudzianowski cough*
"I'm am" LOL!!!
looks like he back on the juicerade
Whats 100% real is the knee he took to the body, I bet that felt real
Brock is my boy and everything but come on man we been knowing the wwe was fake for how many years. just cuz u come back doesnt mean its gunna get any more real. but i do hope that he wins at summerslam
"I'm am the new face of WWE"
Why did they both keep looking to the side? Couldn't memorize their lines?
That there my friends is what you would call a #C***#
cain velasquez and shane carwin gave brock brain damage. it is now official.
I just flagged the video for Spa/Fraud. I suggest everybody do the same
Lesnar cracks me up
This is Brock Lesnar with ten feet less colon.
Thank you Bruno for any kind of WWE coverage. We all deep down secretly love it…just like we all want to run a train on Cyborg.
When HHH's music starts, Overeem should come out from behind the curtain and see if Brock pees himself.
he is terrible at the mic. should shut p and fake fight already.
i hate retards who this wwe is real
how many years? i didn't catch it.
Wait…. what? It's not real?
Screw you haters. WWE is as real as it gets. A UFC fighter wouldn't last 2 minutes in a chair or ladder match…. don't even get me started on the steel cage excitement.
Tell Owen Hart it's not real! In Hulk's prime… he could have taken Fedor just like he beat up that boxer Rocky Balboa. What about that? That Balboa guy got his ass kicked.
Brock lesnar is 10 times Gay. 10 times!
@fightfankevin, that would be pretty funny, what's not funny is how they still try to pass this crap off as real, look, I use to go to these as a kid, I enjoyed them, but I knew early on that it was "entertainment", even if you looked it up in the tv guide back in the day, it would have it as "entertainment", NOT sports or enen wrestling, Brock couldn't handle the top 5 Heavies, and made the decision to go back to what he knows, making the $$$,$$$ by acting his way back on top!
man should have gone out a ufc fighter instead of a d list actor.
back on roids? wise decision…
100%, grade A, bullshit.
lulz. oh man that pathetic and embarrassing but still pretty hysterical.
and i agree, he does suck at the mic.
Santa and the Easter bunny are his tag teaming trio for real! real. real.. real…. real?
stay your ass in the WWE!
lesnar: "im am the new face of wwe"
Ontologically he is correct.
ouch. boy forgot how to act.
He could have spent some time training how to take a punch, then he could still be fighting "100% Real", but a 50 pound weight advantage can only take a loudmouth bully so far. Make him fight Overeem again just for making false statements.
@Uriah's chin
come on…
I think he is the real deal speaket the truth. Look at the muscle, muscle don't lie.
Only reason he left UFC was dana wanted to smell his underpants and Brock said "no way you hoser!!!"
Undertaker vs Brock, grudge match!! I don't even watch wrestling but I'd watch that.
Brock needs a sport phsychologist to get over his fear of being punched but I agree he should stay in sports entertaiment but learn how how to cut a promo mic skills are terrible train with sonnen for that.
LMAO… Man I wish he was in the UFC, I love watching him get his ass kicked…
@xformat douchebag no need too make fun of brocks disease f**. You can comment on the video but its not his fault he had problems with his colon its like making fun of a person because they have cancer dickwad.
America to it's finest
This guy is a joke!
Who is Brock Lesnar ?
Speaking of Brock Lesnar, I thought I was farting but I drew mud….The rancid stench from my dirt pipe is making my eyes water, my crapper is on fire…
If somebody there hurts Lesnar more than what Cain did in the ufc I start believing in this wrestling stuff.
brock is 100% fake eve when he was in the UFC…
@marvelous mad madam mim, you took the words right out of my mouth dude!

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
I'm a relatively new GM. My guild is still in it's honey moon phase, so what I say might sound like I am in denial, but I firmly believe that my guild is a semi-hardcore guild, with a social twist. For starters, many of us played together in other guilds, which is where the vibe of friendship comes from. As we've brought in outsiders we've brought in people that were groups of friends themselves, and many of us have taken the time to spend time with those groups, so that people enjoy spending time together.
We raid 9 hours a week, 3 hours a night and within 3 weeks have cleared a number of meta achievements towards DS drakes, and are 1/8 H full clearing DW every week, each week on a slightly more challenging difficulty as we work through the chromatic champion achievement.
Not every member of my team pulls the exact same amount of weight as someone else, but every person carries their own weight. Some members are better at some aspects than others, but we don't sit people based on performance, or for specific classes. We were careful when we created our team to pick classes which we could get the most bang for our buck out of in 10m, while still keeping the tier distribution relatively fair.
We've set the standard from the beginning to be a guild which pushes itself and yet still cares about it's members. Our policies are clearly communicated and we settle disputes as fairly as we can, consistently in the same manner. As a result we have a guild which has found success and staddles that fence between hardcore and casual in my eyes.
To our realm, we're doing amazing things, because few guilds actually transfer there, much less go in, in 3 weeks and begin clearing hardmodes or achievements .. but to us, this is hardmode raiding on a casual schedule, with a social focus so it doesn't feel "hardcore".
