What are the terms like for boat financing?
Unlike auto financing where the typical loan stretches 48-60 months, a typical boat loan stretches between 144 and 240 months! Watersports central utilizes the marine lending division of several top financial lenders, allowing us to offer these fantastic terms on the majority of our boats.
Why would I want a 15 or 20 year boat loan?
There are several great reasons to finance a boat for that length of time. The first is that the extended terms allow for much greater purchasing power, coupled with monthly payments that are easily affordable! Many new boat buyers are delighted to learn they can afford the boat of their dreams now!
Secondly, all marine loans are simple interest. That means you can pay off your boat as quickly or slowly as you choose. Simply make your minimum monthly payments over the long haul or pay extra whenever you want to save yourself some interest!
Lastly, lower monthly payments don't affect the debt to income ratio on your credit nearly as much as shorter term loans. That makes it much easier to use your good credit standing to purchase other things you need without hassle.
What Banks do you use?
Watersports Central is set up with a number of financial institutions all with unique specialties. Because we are a boat dealer, we are able to set up terms and rates that most individual borrowers cannot!
Which Bank is best for me?
The team here at Watersports Central take care of all that for you. We shop the banks against one another on every boat contract to ensure that our customer receive the best rate and terms available!
What if my credit is not perfect?
No problem! There are several options and programs available for those without perfect credit. Simply call one of our finance team members and they will help you find the best deal out there!
Eddie, WE LOVE THE BOAT!! It is a perfect fit for our family! We have been out on it numerous times and have had so much fun. We all wanted to just take a minute to say thank you SO much for all the time you spent with us, all the questions you answered and for letting us try out different boats on the water. Your knowledge and expertise ensured that we bought the right boat. Thank you again for everything and hope to see you out on the lake!
Eddie, thank you for the help with the new boat on Lake Burton. The time you spent orienting me to the boat made the transition to the lake much easier for me. Many thanks to you and Ricky for your great customer service and attention to detail. I'll be glad to highly recommend you guys in the future!
First time boat owners! Andy was knowledgeable, friendly, honest and encouraging throughout the process. Awesome experience with everyone at WaterSports!
Tommy Lee was great! We enjoyed working with him.
Ricky was excellent!
Great group of people: service, sales (Mike D) and ownership.
Excellent. Chad was extremely helpful during the purchase of my boat, often staying after hours to assist. Chad was often juggling multiple customers during Feb/March.

Rules of pruning: Make it a cut above the rest
Winter is an ideal time to prune trees because all branches are visible and there is less chance of spreading any pathogens or insect infestations.
The goal should always be to make a plant healthier, shapelier, more attractive, more productive.
Always wander and ponder what needs to be done before picking up the pruners and loppers.
– First, remove ugly, dead or damaged branches. Crossing branches (ones that rub against each other) can lead to wounds and disease and should be removed.
– Always observe the one-third rule, only cutting back a branch to another branch that is at least one third of the thickness of the branch being removed.
– Snip to an outward-facing branch or bud to promote growth in that direction. Snip to an inward facing bud and you will end up with an inside crossing branch.
– Shrubs that flower in the spring, such as forsythia, chaenomeles, rhododendrons, ceanothus, kerria, viburnum and magnolia, are best left and pruned after they have flowered. All other shrubs can be clipped back in late winter or early spring.

About the Author
William Shakespeare was born in April 1564 in the town of Stratford-upon-Avon, on England's Avon River. When he was eighteen, he married Anne Hathaway. The couple had three children—an older daughter Susanna and twins, Judith and Hamnet. Hamnet, Shakespeare's only son, died in childhood. The bulk of Shakespeare's working life was spent in the theater world of London, where he established himself professionally by the early 1590s. He enjoyed success not only as a playwright and poet, but also as an actor and shareholder in an acting company. Although some think that sometime between 1610 and 1613 Shakespeare retired from the theater and returned home to Stratford, where he died in 1616, others believe that he may have continued to work in London until close to his death.
Barbara A. Mowat is Director of Research emerita at the Folger Shakespeare Library, Consulting Editor of Shakespeare Quarterly, and author of The Dramaturgy of Shakespeare's Romances and of essays on Shakespeare's plays and their editing.
Paul Werstine is Professor of English at the Graduate School and at King's University College at Western University. He is a general editor of the New Variorum Shakespeare and author of Early Modern Playhouse Manuscripts and the Editing of Shakespeare and of many papers and articles on the printing and editing of Shakespeare's plays.

So the mayhem is doubled in "The Comedy of Errors," which has not one but TWO sets of identical twins who are totally unaware of each other's existence. Shakespeare's adaptation of a Plautus play is basically non-stop wackiness and slapstick, without much plot besides the two Antipholuses and the two Dromios constantly being mistaken (and sometimes mistaking each other) for their twin brothers.
The Syracusan merchant Egeon is condemned to death in Ephesus for entering the city, for... some reason that's never very well explained. He can only be saved if he pays one thousand marks within one day. So he tells the Ephesian Duke his tale of woe -- his wide Aemilia gave birth to identical twin boys, on the same day a poor woman also produced identical twin boys to be their slaves. But then his wife, one baby and one slave baby were lost in a shipwreck, leaving Egeon with the other twins. Now Antipholus has gone out in search of his lost twin, accompanied by his slave Dromio.
Got that? It's pretty much the setup for the whole plot. Here's the problem: the missing twins are actually in Ephesus, and are also named Antipholus and Dromio. Even better, neither of them has any weight, scars, haircuts or fashion eccentricities that keep them from being mistaken for each other. What wackiness!
So when Dromio (Ephesus) mistakes Antipholus (Syracuse) for his master, he ends up getting his butt kicked -- and even worse, Antipholus' (Ephesus) wife Adriana mistakes Antipholus (Syracuse) for her husband and thinks he's cheating on her. But her unknown brother-in-law-mistaken-for-her-husband instead falls in love with her sister. Oh, and Dromio (Ephesus) also has a comically unattractive wife, whom Dromio (Syracuse) is desperate to get away from. Wackiness!
While she dines with his identical twin, Antipholus (Ephesus) is irritated at being locked out his house, dines with a courtesan and orders a gold chain... all of which causes even more madcap antics: arrests, accusations of theft, the Dromios getting their butts kicked again, and Adriana thinking her husband is cheating, crazy and/or possessed.
As evidenced by the summary, "The Comedy of Errors" doesn't have much actual plot. It has exactly three things going on:
A) Other people mistake one Antipholus/Dromio set for the other;
B) Either Antipholus or Dromio (either one) mistakes the other for his brother (or vice versa).
C) Either Antipholus/Dromio pair gets in trouble for something the other ones did.
So our dear Willie Shakespeare frolicks in farce, skips through slapstick and cavorts through comedy. This isn't exactly his wittiest or subtlest play he wrote (Dromio compares his sister-in-law's butt to Ireland because of the... um, peat bogs), but it shows his considerable skill at juggling a complicated plot, lots of accusations and misunderstandings, which all ultimately culminates in a massive goofy confrontation between all the characters. In fact, I'm shocked Hollywood has not adapted this yet.
A lot of the comedy comes from Shakespeare's many silly word puns, topical jokes (Nell's forehead is France, because it is "armed and reverted, making war against her heir"), and the Antipholuses constantly beating up the Dromios. There is some occasional pretty verbal wooing ("Spread o'er the silver waves thy golden hairs/And as a bed I'll take them and there lie"), but it's mostly reliant on puns and gags.
The one problem? This is one of those stories that requires the entire cast to be idiots. Admittedly there wouldn't be a plot if they WEREN'T idiots, but none of them ever make the connection of "missing identical twins" with "people claiming I did and said things I didn't do."
It's genuinely amazing that Hollywood hasn't yet adapted "The Comedy of Errors," because Shakespeare's fluffiest comedy is perfectly suited -- mistaken identities, mayhem, gags and slapstick.
In The Comedy of Errors, a man sentenced to death, Edgeon, is revealed to have had two male twins both named Antipholus, both having two servants each named Dromio. It shown that he was separated from his family many years in the past through a shipwreck. He and his wife were each left with one son and one servant each. Over time, Edgeon, living in Syracruse, let his son and servant go to explore the world. His wife was left in the town of Ephesus where her son became a wealthy merchant. The play starts with Edgeon being walked to his execution for being a syracrusian walking into the town of Ephesus. The Duke allows him to have one day to search for his family to be set free, and by coincidence, his son, Antipholus of Syracruse is there along with Antipholus of Ephesus whom lives there. The play then spirals outward form the two very different twins interacting with people from each other's lives, including the two servants named Dromio.
Shakespeare wrote this play to entertain the public using slapstick comedy and an intriguing plotline. He also wrote this play to showcase the humor of human error. The play works off of tragic events involving loss of family and an execution, but the play quickly turns these things into events of humor. The symbols of a gold chain, a ring, and a thousand marks add to the theme of outward humor rather that plain inside "joke-like" humor.
The play was filled with humor, although it is hard to decipher it through the old modern English at times. The differing personality of the two Antipholus' adds to the humor of the play by them being near foils of each other. The two Dromios are mischievous and slightly dumb which adds most of the humor to the play.
This play is for anyone who loves comedies and can read old modern English. People who like slapstick, outward humor over verbal, inside humor will enjoy this play as well. People that enjoy farcical plays, books, and movies will find this play quite hilarious.

Forty Thieves Solitaire by FupaFree
In this solitaire card game you need to move all the cards to the 8 foundation piles at the upper right corner. The foundation piles must be built in suit from A to K. You can use the tableau piles (the middle 10 piles) to hole the cards temporarily while you build up the cards in the foundation piles. Each time you can only move the top card in a tableau pile, and you can put a card in a tableau pile only if it has the same suit and is 1 point smaller than the top card in the pile. There is a stock card on the top left and you can click the pile and turn a card to the waste pile. You can move the top card from the waste pile to the foundation or tableau piles. When you have used all the stock cards, and you still cannot put all the cards to the foundation, then you lose the game.

Ilja Laurs, CEO of of GetJar, a top independent app store, said that apps will be as big if not bigger than the Internet at the MobileBeat conference in San Francisco. He said that the economics of mobile apps are a different story. According to him, roughly 90% of app developers fail. He says there are simply too many applications out at the time.
Apple's App store now hosts over 65,000 applications. Its very hard to reach the top of a category when you are competing against that many apps. Most top selling iPhone apps are a one hit wonder. They get popular for a short time and then lose traction. So its becoming increasingly difficult to build a solid business model around the App store.
Lee Williams of the Symbian Foundation thinks that that Apple's current App store is flawed because its a mixed bag of apps. He feels that there are simply too many low quality apps in the store.
Google on the other hand feels that the App store is a fad. Google says that consumers will set their focus away from native mobile apps to browser based apps.

NM – not meaningful
NM – not meaningful
The Group's revenue is largely derived from project-oriented businesses and as such, quarterly results would not accurately reflect the full-year's performance. Full-year to full-year comparisons are more appropriate for analytical purposes.
For 4Q FY2017, the Group registered revenue of $91.0 million, total profit of $17.0 million and profit attributable to equity holders of the Company ("net profit") of $9.2 million. Although quarterly revenue was 19% lower year-on-year, total profit and net profit grew 135% and 124% year-on-year respectively. After adjusting for other gains and losses net of non-controlling interests, quarterly net profit would be 391% higher year-on-year.
For FY2017, the Group registered revenue of $433.8 million, total profit of $53.5 million and net profit of $33.3 million. Although full-year revenue was 11% lower year-on-year, total profit and net profit grew 30% and 18% year-on-year respectively. Net profit expanded at a slower pace than total profit due to higher contributions by Boustead Projects Limited to total profit, which resulted in the dilutive effect of the higher non-controlling interests on net profit. After adjusting for other gains and losses net of non-controlling interests, full-year net profit would be 9% lower year-on-year.
The significant positive impact from other gains and losses on both 4Q FY2017 and FY2017 is mainly attributable to Boustead Projects, primarily for the early termination of a lease agreement and the sale of an available-for-sale financial asset.
Each division's revenue performance for FY2017 is summarised below.
Into a third year of recession, the severely depressed global oil & gas industries continued to adversely impact revenue at the Energy-Related Engineering Division, with revenue declining 25% year-on-year to $96.5 million. Despite the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries' significant cuts to global supplies, decisions on major oil & gas capital expenditures continued to be deferred.
For the tenth consecutive year, the Real Estate Solutions Division (under Boustead Projects) topped the revenue contributors among the divisions. In the face of a challenging and competitive business landscape, the division registered revenue of $228.3 million, 11% lower year-on-year mainly due to lower revenue contributions from both the design-and-build and leasing businesses.
Riding on the back of steady demand in Australia and South East Asia, the Geo-Spatial Technology Division achieved revenue of $108.3 million, 5% higher year-on-year.
The Group's overall gross margin for FY2017 improved to 33% compared to 31% in FY2016. Nonetheless, gross margin pressure continues to mount.
Other gains and losses for FY2017 surged to $17.0 million, mainly boosted by other gains and losses at Boustead Projects, primarily for the early termination of a lease agreement and the sale of an available-for-sale financial asset.
Total overhead expenses for FY2017 marginally declined year-on-year to $93.8 million (selling and distribution expenses of $30.7 million and administrative expenses of $63.0 million) as the Group continued to apply prudent cost management measures.
Finance expenses for FY2017 dropped 40% to $2.5 million with the repayment of borrowings by Boustead Projects throughout FY2016, resulting in lower finance expenses in subsequent periods.
Share of loss of associated companies and joint ventures for FY2017 was comparable year-on-year at $2.7 million and largely due to the elimination of construction and project management profits attributable to projects in which Boustead Projects has entered into with an associated company and joint ventures.
Profit before income tax ("PBT") for FY2017 increased 20% year-on-year to $67.7 million, mainly driven by higher other gains and lower finance expenses. A breakdown of PBT by divisions is provided as follows.
Despite significant challenges, all three divisions remained profitable in FY2017. PBT at the EnergyRelated Engineering Division for FY2017 was boosted by a $2.8 million foreign exchange gain, captured under other gains and losses. PBT at the Real Estate Solutions Division was boosted by $14.7 million in other gains and losses – net at Boustead Projects.
Total profit for FY2017 increased 30% year-on-year to $53.5 million, benefitting from lower income tax expenses as a result of higher taxable profit contributed by lower tax jurisdictions. The Group's effective tax rate in FY2017 was 21% compared to 27% in FY2016.
Net profit for FY2017 increased 18% year-on-year to $33.3 million for reasons mentioned earlier.
In view of the Group's FY2017 profit performance and Boustead Projects' proposal of an inaugural dividend of 2.5 cents per share, the Board of Directors has proposed a final ordinary dividend of 1.5 cents per share payable in cash for shareholders' approval. Together with the interim ordinary dividend of 0.5 cent per share, the total ordinary dividend for FY2017 would be 2 cents per share.
During FY2017, cash and cash equivalents (after taking into account the effects of currency translation) rose by $17.4 million to $276.5 million, largely driven by strong cash flows provided by operating activities.
Net cash inflow for operating activities amounted to $65.7 million, with a positive change in working capital of $0.3 million. Net cash outflow for investing activities amounted to $25.3 million, mainly due to $17.0 million in net loans to joint ventures and a related party, and $6.3 million in net purchase of available-for-sale financial assets. Net cash outflow for financing activities amounted to $20.5 million, mainly for $13.2 million in dividends paid to equity holders of the Company, $5.1 million in repayment of borrowings and $1.7 million in dividends paid to non-controlling interests.
At the end of FY2017, the Group's financial position remained healthy.
Under assets, cash and cash equivalents climbed to $276.5 million, a modest increase from $259.1 million at the end of FY2016. Total other receivables and prepayments rose to $71.1 million, mainly due to receivables from the compensation for the early termination of a lease agreement and outstanding proceeds from the sale of an available-for-sale financial asset. Net contracts work-inprogress declined to $7.5 million due to increased progress billings to clients.
Total available-for-sale financial assets fell to $66.2 million, largely as a result of the sale of Boustead Projects' of an available-for-sale financial asset. Investment properties declined to $134.8 million, mainly as a result of depreciation and an impairment loss on a property. Investments in joint ventures more than doubled to $32.4 million with the further extension of shareholders' loans to joint ventures for the development of industrial properties for lease.
Under liabilities, total borrowings decreased to $88.4 million due to the scheduled repayment of borrowings by Boustead Projects in relation to the industrial leasehold portfolio.
The Group's net asset value per share rose to 61.7 cents at the end of FY2017 from 58.3 cents at the end of FY2016, while the net cash position (i.e. net of all bank borrowings) stood at an improved $188.1 million at the end of FY2017, translating to a net cash per share position of 36.0 cents. In addition, the Group held $67.1 million in available-for-sale financial assets and financial assets held for trading at the end of FY2017, of which more than half of the amount is highly liquid.
In FY2017, the Group secured new contracts of approximately $180 million. The Group's current order book backlog stands at about $225 million (unrecognised project revenue remaining at the end of FY2017 plus the total value of new orders secured since then), of which $79 million is under the Energy-Related Engineering Division and $146 million is under the Real Estate Solutions Division.
The current macro economic environment continues to be highly challenging and competitive, with a great amount of uncertainty contributed by global political events. In light of this, the Group will continue to apply prudent cost management measures.
The Group continues to search for acquisition and investment opportunities across its divisions in related business fields, as well as in potential new business fields. Given the Group's strong net cash position of $188.1 million, available-for-sale financial assets and financial assets held for trading of $67.1 million, and untapped $500 million multi-currency medium-term note programme, the Group is in an excellent position to capitalise on any good acquisition and investment opportunities that may arise.
While the Group believes it will continue to be profitable in FY2018, the level of profit may not match that of FY2017 due to the current macro economic environment and the significant non-recurring gains registered in FY2017. Nonetheless, the Group's healthy balance sheet and fundamentally-sound businesses place it in good stead to weather a prolonged challenging and competitive period.

New study pinpoints regional patterns in changes
Staff Report
Basic physics tells us a warmer atmosphere can hold more moisture, and that, at some point, that moisture will condense and fall as rain. That's why climate scientists are certain that global warming will lead to more extreme rainfall, as has already been documented in various parts of the world the past few decades.
A new study now helps quantify the impact of warming and also reveals regional patterns that will help people prepare. According to the researchers with MIT and the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, the most extreme rain events in most regions of the world will increase in intensity by 3 to 15 percent, depending on region, for every degree Celsius that the planet warms.
Under a business-as-usual greenhouse gas scenario, an average global temperature increase of 4 degrees Celsius during the next hundred years means much of North America and Europe would experience increases in the intensity of extreme rainfall of abut 25 percent. Some areas, including parts of the Asian monsoon region would experience greater increases, while there will be smaller increases in the Mediterranean, South Africa and Australia.
There are a few regions that are projected to experience a decrease in extreme rainfall as the world warms, mostly located over subtropical oceans that lie just outside the tropical, equatorial belt.
The regional variations patterns in rainfall can be explained by changes in the strength of local winds that influence the intensity of a region's most extreme rainstorms, according to the findings published in the journal Nature Climate Change.
"There is interest around the world in the question of whether to adjust codes to adapt to a changing climate and precipitation, particularly for flooding," said MIT climate scientist Paul O'Gorman. "We found there are regional variations in the projected precipitation response because of changes in winds, and of course if you're interested in the impacts of precipitation extremes, you'd want to know what's happening in your region."
Global observations have verified the increase in extreme rainfall, but projecting how extreme storms will change on a more specific, regional scaleis more challenging. Climate data is not equally available in all countries, or even continents, and the signal of climate change is masked by weather noise to a greater extent on the regional scale.
The researchers started with a global look, then scaled it down to a 100 kilomoeter by 200 kilometer grid. For each cell, they identified the maximum daily rainfall per year and compared this to the average global temperature for that year.
All the models predicted that the highest increases in extreme rainfall will occur over parts of the Asian monsoon region such as India and over parts of the equatorial Pacific, with more moderate increases in North America, Central America, the Mediterranean, and Australia.
O'Gorman said that, while the spatial pattern of change was robust across the models, the magnitude of the change was much more uncertain in tropical regions, and higher-resolution modeling is needed to narrow down this uncertainty.
The researchers also found decreases in extreme rainfall amounts over subtropical ocean regions, where the overlying atmosphere is generally dry, producing relatively weak storm systems.
"It's kind of striking," O'Gorman said. "Almost everywhere, there's an increase in precipitation extremes, except for these ocean regions."
He suggested this may be partly due to the ongoing expansion of the tropics. As the climate has warmed in past decades, researchers have noted that the climate at the equator has spread towards the poles, creating a much wider tropical belt. As the tropics and the Hadley cell continue to expand, this would affect the pattern of extreme precipitation, especially in the subtropics.
"The subtropics are generally dry, and if you move the region of descending air poleward, you would get some regions with increases, and others with decreases [in extreme rainfall]," O'Gorman said. "However we found that this only explained half of the decreases from changes in winds, so it's still something of a mystery as to why you get a decrease in precipitation extremes there."
O'Gorman is currently investigating whether the duration of extreme rainfall events changes with increasing temperatures, which could have practical implications for determining the resilience of buildings and infrastructure.
"Given an extreme precipitation event, how long does it last, say in hours, and does that time change with climate warming?" O'Gorman said. "We think the intensity of an event changes, and if the duration also changes, that could be significant too."
Swiss researcher and co-author Stephan Pfahlsaid changes in updrafts are key to understanding regional variations. "
A clearer understanding of the reasons for stronger or weaker updrafts is extremely important. We now know where we need to focus in order to further reduce the uncertainties in regional projections," he said.
Particularly in the equatorial Pacific or in the Asian monsoon region, strong increases in upward wind velocities produce even heavier downpours, while they tend to yield a decrease in extreme precipitation over many parts of the subtropical oceans, where vertical wind velocities are weak, transporting only low amounts of moisture upward. According to the models, these upward wind velocities will decrease further in a warmer climate in future, so that extreme precipitation will become weaker and less common.
Over Central Europe, the increase in atmospheric moisture content is the dominant factor and leads to much heavier downpours. The new analysis shows that the upward wind velocities will hardly change, except in the summer, even assuming global warming of up to four degrees by the end of this century. Across the Mediterranean, however, changes in updrafts could be critical. They will probably become weaker, thus reducing the frequency and strength of extreme precipitation.

Actos's Dangerous Side Effects, Bladder Cancer Risk
In 2011, Type II Diabetes treatment by the name of Actos (drug name piogliatazone) had sales halted by France's as well as Germany's medical regulators due to possible links to bladder. These decisions in Europe to place drug bans on Actos followed a study which was commissioned by the FMA (French Medicines Agency) and which concluded that patients who took Actos had higher likelihood of developing cancer of the bladder, which is an unfortunate and dangerous aggressive type of cancer.
Also in mid 2011, US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) released an announcement that it was looking into Actos due to a potential potential bladder cancer elevated risk as of late 2010. The FDA said that early research coming from a ten year clinical trial which was submitted by Actos' manufacturer Takeda indicated significant links with exposure between Actos with bladder cancer. Yet, some clinical evidence indicated that Actos patients who were on the drug a minimum of 2 years held higher risks for being diagnosed with bladder cancer.
Early 2011, another clinical Actos study, reviewing Actos' Adverse Event data reported to the Food & Drug Administration from the years 2004 to 2009, indicated patients of Actos had "disproportionate risk[s]" for suffering bladder cancer.
New Actos Research Could Indicate Elevated Risk of Cardiovascular Side Effects
New Actos clinical research has piled onto the mounting pile of clinical evidence which links Actos and Avandia with elevated serious negative health risks. While Avandia long was surrounded and mired in the negative health debate regarding cardiovascular conditions, Actos is a newcomer to this debate. Actos was formerly held to be a less dangerous type 2 diabetes medication alternative that caused its sales to go through the roof and major declines for Avandia.
Another Actos Research Study Could Indicate Elevated Risk For Bone Fractures
Weaver & Associates had formerly noted a different study associated with Avandia as well as Actos and elevated bone fracture levels. The study from the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism determined that Actos and Avandia raised risks for fractures among older postmenopausal females who have Type II diabetes. With men who have Avandia or Actos loop diuretics the same caution holds true for bone fracture elevated risks.
Females over the age of 50 with broken bones had 71% greater likelihood to have a thiazolidinedione prescription. Among men, the elevated risk was at a triple rate over those patients who took a thiazolidinedione at the same time as a loop diuretic, such as Lasix.
FDA Requires Black Box Warning for Actos
Following intense debate regarding the lack of safety of Actos–the type II Diabetes drug, FDA officials stated that risk for Actos would receive the black box warning which equates to a large black outline due to severe risks of having adverse heart and other cardiovascular conditions, such as heart failure, heart attack, as well as other cardiovascular deaths. The infamous drug black box warning holds the most severe FDA-ordered label change. The only thing more strongly ordered by the FDA is a mandatory drug recall.

What is smudging?
Quite simply, it is the burning of sacred herbs (usually Sage, though others such as Sweetgrass and Cedar are also used) to rid a person or an area of negative energy. It is a practice that has been around for thousands of years.
At one time, these herbs were crushed into a special bowl and burned, as the smoke surrounded the person or the area needing to be cleansed. Later, these herbs were bundled together into sticks and became known as "smudge sticks".
The concept was the same… letting the herbs burn and cleanse an area of unwanted energy.
Smudging is also the common name given to the indigenous American tradition known as the Sacred Smoke Bowl Blessing. This is a powerful spiritual cleansing technique which calls upon the spirits of various sacred plants to drive away negative energy and to restore balance to an individual, a group, a space, or all three.
Personally, I like to smudge any new place that I move into to clear out any bad energy that may be left behind from the past tenants.
Not to mention, I think sage smells really good.
It turns out that this is not just ancient practice, but modern research has something to say as well about the positive effects of its use.
A 2006 study titled "Medicinal Smokes," published in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology found solid evidence for the benefits of smudging.
By observing the effects of "burning wood and a mixture of odoriferous and medicinal herbs"on the "aerial bacterial population" in a closed room for 60 minutes, researchers found 94 percent of the aerial bacteria were eliminated.
As they noted in their findings, "The ability of the smoke to purify or disinfect the air and to make the environment cleaner was maintained up to 24h in the closed room."
Ultimately, the research concluded that in addition to potential health benefits, smudging is a viable, and strong, antiseptic.
The final sentence in the study's abstract states, "We have demonstrated that using medicinal smoke it is possible to completely eliminate diverse plant and human pathogenic bacteria of the air within confined space."
Using research from fifty different countries, the research team found "inhalation of smoke is typically used in the treatment of pulmonary and neurological disorders and directed smoke in localized situations, such as dermatological and genito-urinary disorders."
However, the key finding was that in those traditions, "ambient smoke is not directed at the body at all but used as an air purifier."
8 Surprising Benefits of Smudging
In addition to cleansing the air of unwanted bacteria, the benefits of smudging, and producing negative ions are many, including:
Increasing your sense of well-being and improving mental focus. Smudging removes the debilitating effects of excess positive ions in the air in a way that's been described as a natural antidepressant
Clearing negative energy. The smoke helps to change the molecular structure of both the air and energy, which produces a cleansing effect. As the sense of smell is strongly linked to memory and instinct, smudging is very effective for combating feels of anger, fear, anxiety, grief, and depression.
"Nature's anti-depressant." It seems that the negative ions produced from smudging offer serious anti-depressant effects – so much so it's said to be at least as effective as a prescription antidepressant without the side effects.
Dr Clarence Hansell, a research engineer who delved into the biological effects of negative ions in the air in the 1930s after noticing that the mood of one of his colleagues changed in response to ions being generated by their equipment, discovered that his colleague was more joyful when the machine produced negative ions and more sullen when it produced positive ions.
In a controlled study published in 1998 in the Archives of General Psychiatry, focused on seasonal affective disorder, or SAD, that was an extension of Hansell's work, researchers found fresh air charged with negative ions was an effective treatment and prevention method of depression, thanks to its effects on serotonin levels, similar to the way antidepressant drugs works.
Clearing the air. In addition to bacteria, smudging can help clear the air of pollen, pet dander, dust, mold spores and other potential allergens to improve allergy symptoms.
Cleansing objects. Not only can smudging cleanse a room, but it can cleanse objects. Whenever you bring a new object into your home, especially something like an antique that's likely to have been exposed to negative energy over the years, you can use a smudge stick, allowing the smoke to pass over the time to help clear it so that it doesn't affect you or your environment.
Relaxing effects. Smudging can offer calming, relaxing effects that are known to help lower blood pressure, relieve stress and tension and normalize breathing rates, as the negative ions produced are absorbed directly into your bloodstream – they may even help to fight off damaging free radicals that can lead to premature aging and disease.
Increased energy. Studies have found that the negative ions produced also help to normalize serotonin (that well-known feel-good hormone), in the brain, which can help boost one's mood, improve focus and create a more positive outlook.
Improved sleep. An Italian study showed that negative ions can help improve sleep patterns, also have positive effects on regulating serotonin production.
How to Perform Smudging
Just before you begin, open up a window for ventilation and then place the herb bundle onto your heat-, fire-proof surface. Light it with the matches or a lighter, and then gently blow out the flame, allowing the material to smolder. Focus your energy on the smoke.
If a true flame appears, shake the bundle slightly, or blow on it until it turns to embers and smoke. You may need to re-light the bundle a few times during the smudging process.
Once you have a good amount of smoke going, use your hand or a feather to direct it over your body, moving from your feet all the way up to your head and back again, staying connected to your breathing throughout the session.
You may also want to visualize the smoke removing negative energy from your life and home. If you feel comfortable with it, you can also repeat the following incantation: "Air, fire, water, earth. Cleanse, dismiss, dispel."
This is considered to be a sacred sage ceremony that allows you to shift energy at will.
Now you're ready to smudge your home.
- Move clockwise around your house, starting at your front door. Gently wave the smoke into your air, focusing especially on the corners of each room, as they're said to accumulate the most stagnant energy. The entire time, envision the smoke clearing negative energy, waving the smudge bundle up and down as the smoke fills the area.
- Don't forget about closed spaces, like closets and cabinets – open their doors and carefully smudge the inside too. Be sure to smudge all rooms, including your basement, garage, laundry room and the like. When you reach each doorway, ask that the room be sealed and protected from this point on while you smudge the outline of the doorway, passing through it to keep any more energy from passing while you conduct the clearing.
- Move directly into the next room following either the floor layout along the walls. Remember to pass the wand over the edges of each window and door as you continue through each room of the house or workspace. In order for the smudging ceremony to be most effective, the smoke needs to cover every room, closet, door, vent, and window. The idea is to walk to each entrance, clearing every room so that you're pushing all the negative energy out toward the front entrance. Since you want all of the negative energy to leave your home, think of it as trying to direct a fly outside your door.
- Once you've smudged your whole house, allow the herb bundle to burn out. You may want to bury the remaining smudge in your garden, as a sign of completing the ritual.
