There are many reasons why psyllium husks are a part of daily health maintenance for millions of people. Extensive research has shown that psyllium husks help maintain healthy cholesterol levels, including a proper balance of HDL and LDL cholesterol. In addition, psyllium husks help promote normal regularity. Unlike stimulant laxatives, psyllium husks are gentle and are not habit forming. Psyllium husks' bulking action makes elimination easier and more comfortable. At the same time, psyllium sweeps waste and toxins more quickly out of the body, so toxins are not reabsorbed from the colon back into the bloodstream. Yerba Prima uses only premium quality psyllium husks, without added sweeteners, colors or additives.Psyllium Husks Caps 180 Capsules 625 mg
Is this product safe to take every day? Most Yerba Prima products are safe to take every day. Fiber formulas that can be taken every day as long as desired (even for many years) include the Psyllium Husks products, Daily Fiber products, Colon Care Products and Soluble Fiber products. Fiber Plus powder and capsules contain the moderate stimulant laxative herb senna. They should be used occasionally as needed. They can be taken daily up to two months, but a person should try to gradually switch over from Fiber Plus to one of the bulking fiber formulas listed above.Psyllium Husks Caps 180 Capsules 625 mg
Most of the herbal products are safe to take every day, including Ginkgo Extra Strength, Nutrimental, Bilberry Extra Strength, Bilberry tablets, St. John's Wort Extra Strength, St. John's Wort tablets, Echinace Extra Strength Liquid and Capsules, Milk Thistle Extra Strength, Liv-Cleanse Formula and Odor Cleanse capsules. Aloe Falls aloe vera juice drinks can be taken every day. Their Internal Cleansing formulas can be used daily in small amounts, though they are normally used and are most effective when taken for several months at a time. This includes Kalenite Cleansing Herbs tablets, Women's Renew, Men's Rebuild and Herbal Guard.
IBS/Diverticulitis/Diverticulosis -- I have Irritable Bowel Syndrome(IBS), diverticulitis or diverticulosis. Is it safe to take fiber formulas? Can fiber formulas help to maintain colon health? If someone has active IBS or diverticulitis with current inflammation, do not use a fiber formula until the inflammation goes away. Consult with your doctor.Psyllium Husks Caps 180 Capsules 625 mg
If there is not active inflammation, a fiber formula can be helpful for maintaining the health of the colon. People vary widely in their responses to fiber, but it most often has a normalizing effect. If there are loose stools, fiber will add bulk and bring them toward normal. If stools are hard and infrequent, fiber will add moisture and bulk and bring them toward normal. Fiber will generally be most helpful when used on a daily basis to help maintain proper intestinal health. Consult with a doctor or other health professional if there are any concerns with taking fiber.Psyllium Husks Caps 180 Capsules 625 mg
Suggested products: Colon Care is very good. It has our complete fiber formula, plus FOS to support beneficial bacteria, plus calcium, magnesium and selenium to help protect the colon.Psyllium Husks Caps 180 Capsules 625 mg
Some people may be gluten sensitive and have trouble with the oats and barley in CCF. They should try one of our pure Psyllium Husks products. Most people will be able to tolerate the psyllium husks well. It is best to begin with half a serving for the first few days to make sure the product is comfortable for the person. Then increase to a full serving. Many people will want to take two to three servings per day if the fiber is helping. As always, make sure to drink plenty of fluids with the fiber.Psyllium Husks Caps 180 Capsules 625 mg
IBS/Diverticulitis/Diverticulosis & Internal Cleansing -- Is it safe to take internal cleansing formulas? In general, it is best not to do internal cleansing formulas if there is any inflammation or intestinal discomfort unless one is working with a health professional. See the previous question for a discussion of the possible benefits of fiber for normalizing the bowel.Psyllium Husks Caps 180 Capsules 625 mg
Women's Renew or Men's Rebuild Internal Cleansing System -- How long will a box of Women's Renew or Men's Rebuild last? If you are using Women's Renew or Men's Rebuild programs long term, a box will last 30 days at the Level 1 recommended usage or 15 days at the Level 2 recommended usage. For most people, Level 1 will be excellent for long term support of the cleansing, protecting and rebuilding functions of the body.
Weight Loss & Internal Cleansing -- I would like to lose weight. Will the Women's Renew or Men's Rebuild Internal Cleansing System help? People often lose weight during the cleansing program by eating mostly fruits and vegetables, and reducing the amounts of sweets, fatty foods and refined foods that they eat. The fiber may help reduce appetite, and seeing what comes out during the cleansing process can help motivate the change to a better diet. A whole foods diet with lots of fruits and vegetables also has the side benefit of increasing the cleansing activity of the herbs and fiber ingredients that make up the Internal Cleansing System.Psyllium Husks Caps 180 Capsules 625 mg
Do you recommend a specific diet with the Women's Renew or Men's Rebuild Internal Cleansing Program? They do not recommend a specific diet with our Internal Cleansing System. Everyone's body is different and people have different nutritional needs for maintaining good health. People will receive benefits using the program with any type of diet. However, a modified diet that is high in fruits and vegetables, and their juices, will increase the body's cleansing activity. This is an option if you want to moderately speed up the cleansing process and increase the deep cleansing activity of the program. However, pay attention to your body since this can make the cleansing process too strong for some people.
Fasting & Internal Cleansing -- Can I fast while I do the Women's Renew or Men's Rebuild Internal Cleansing Program? You can fast while doing the cleansing program. Fasting will significantly increase the cleansing activity of the program, and so will be more likely to cause cleansing reactions. It is likely to speed up the cleansing process and increase the deep cleansing activity for people want either of these effects. We suggest that anyone who wants to fast for more than one day while doing a cleansing program consult with a health professional.Psyllium Husks Caps 180 Capsules 625 mg
Breastfeeding and Internal Cleansing -- Can I do the cleansing program while breast feeding? During breast feeding, it would be better to use one of our fiber formulas, such as Daily Fiber or Colon Care, rather than a cleansing program. A cleansing program, in the process of doing its job in the body, releases stored toxins so that they can be eliminated. It is preferable to begin the Women's Renew cleansing after weaning or at least when your baby is eating solid foods and breast milk is a small part of the diet.
Vegetable Capsules -- Do you have any products in capsules suitable for vegetarians? At this time, we have one product in vegetable source capsules: Psyllium Husks Veg Caps. These capsules are made from cellulose. The capsules in our other products are made from Kosher purified gelatin USP grade. We hope to have more products in vegetable source capsules in the future.
Fiber & Nutrient Absorption -- What effect do psyllium husks and other dietary fibers have on nutrient absorption? Our fiber formulas and psyllium husk products do not impair nutrient absorption when used at recommended amounts on a short term or long term basis.Psyllium Husks Caps 180 Capsules 625 mg
What is the source of FOS (fructo-oligosaccharides) in Colon Care.Psyllium Husks Caps 180 Capsules 625 mg FOS used by Yerba Prima is a natural plant extract from chicory root. It has been extensively researched and shown to be helpful in maintaining and restoring proper levels of friendly bacteria in the colon.
How Long Before I Notice Results From Taking This Product? Women's Renew or Men's Rebuild Internal Cleansing System -- Some people notice significant results in the first few days of use. Some people notice cleansing activity and more bowel movements after 2 to 3 weeks of use. For some people, the results are subtle, because the programs are very safe and do not have strong cleansing herbs in them. However, the herbs and fiber and still doing their job to cleanse and tone all of the elimination systems of the body.
Fiber Formulas such as Psyllium Husks, Daily Fiber, Colon Care and Soluble Fiber -- Most people begin to notice larger, easier to evacuate bowel movements within 2 to 3 days. It may take a few days longer for some people, depending on the amounts being used. Fiber Plus and Fiber Plus Caps - These products generally provide overnight relief. Most people will begin to notice more regular bowel movements in 1 to 2 days. Odor Cleanse -- For breath odor, shortly after taking one capsule with or following a meal. For body odor, within 2 - 4 weeks of taking 2 - 6 capsules per day. For fecal odor, within 2 - 4 weeks of taking 4 - 6 capsules per day. Ginkgo Extra Strength -- normally 3 to 6 weeks to start noticing benefits. Bilberry Extra Strength -- normally 3 to 4 weeks to start noticing benefits. Milk Thistle Extra Strength -- normally 1 to 4 weeks to start noticing benefits. St. John's Wort Extra Strength -- some people notice results the first few days of use, but normally 2 to 4 weeks to start noticing benefits. This Product Smells Or Looks Different Than Usual. Is It Okay? There is a normal variation in all natural products, especially the plant derived products such as dietary fiber formulas and herbs. Some variation in odor, color and taste is to be expected, and does not lessen the benefits of the product. Yerba Prima occasionally get calls or letters about one of the fiber formulas having an off-odor. The off-odor is usually very slight, but occasionally can be quite noticeable. This off-odor does not affect the safety or quality of the product. If a customer is unhappy with the product and does not feel that they can use it, feel free to contact Yerba Prima customer service. If a product seems bad or is significantly different than normal, by all means call Yerba Prima customer service to discuss the product with them.
Why Is Bioperine In The Extra Strength Herbs? Bioperine is a patented black pepper extract that increases the assimilation of nutrients and herbs by 30% - 60%. This gives extra value and benefits to the customer.
Gluten Allergy/Celiac Sprue Disease -- Are psyllium husks safe to take? People with celiac sprue disease can be extremely allergic to any gluten containing foods, such as wheat, rye, barley and oats. They can safely take our pure psyllium husks products: Psyllium Husks Powder, Psyllium Husks Caps, Psyllium Husks Veg Caps and Psyllium Whole Husks.
Psyllium husks are gluten free. Psyllium is not related to wheat or any of the gluten containing plants. In addition, there is not likely to be contamination of our psyllium husks by any gluten containing grain from the field to the finished product.
Gluten Free -- Do you have fiber products that are gluten free?
The following Yerba Prima products are gluten free:
Psyllium Husks Powder Psyllium Whole Husks Psyllium Husks Caps Psyllium Husks Veg Caps Can I take this product during pregnancy? As a general rule, it is best to consult with a health professional about the use of supplements during pregnancy. Our fiber products are generally fine to use during pregnancy. This would include the formulas of Psyllium Husks, Daily Fiber, Colon Care and Soluble Fiber. Fiber Plus contains senna, a moderate stimulant laxative herb, and is best used short term only after consultation with a health professional. Cleansing programs should not be done during pregnancy, whether it is a fasting program or an herbs and fiber program such as Women's Renew Internal Cleansing System or Kalenite Cleansing Herbs.
Low Carbohydrate Diets -- How many grams of carbohydrates are in different products? Many people who are on high protein, low carbohydrate diets ask about the carbohydrate content of Yerba Prima products, especially the fiber formulas. There is a tendency towards constipation with a high protein, low carbohydrate diet. Yerba Prima fiber formulas will be very helpful.
The product labels of all Yerba Prima fiber formulas list both total carbohydrate content and digestible carbohydrate content per serving of the products. In most cases, it is less than 1/2 gram of digestible carbohydrate per serving. Nutrition labels are required to include the dietary fiber amount in the total carbohydrate listing on the Supplement Facts panel. However, dietary fiber is not digested in the small intestine and does not count as part of the digestible carbohydrate.
Psyllium Husks: Benefits and Usage by Peter Finkle, Director of Quality Assurance, Yerba Prima, Inc.
What are the benefits of psyllium husks?
Promote regularity and easy elimination Remove toxins for better health Improve digestion Help lower elevated cholesterol levels for heart health Help balance blood sugar levels Reduce problems with diarrhea or loose stools Protect the health of the colon Requirements for good health include proper digestion of nutrients and proper elimination of toxins. If the body is allowed to accumulate toxins, chemicals and excessive waste products, these toxins can back up into the body and can cause headaches, loss of energy, fatigue or aches and pains. Over the years, toxins can also contribute to serious illness. Fiber as part of a good health regimen supports proper digestion and elimination to help prevent and alleviate these problems.
Leading health experts recommend that we eat 25 to 35 grams of fiber daily, but most people consume only 10 to 15 grams a day. Psyllium seed husks are a concentrated source of dietary fiber with many benefits. Psyllium husks help promote normal regularity and easy elimination through their bulking action. As a bowel normalizer, they also help reduce problems with loose bowels and diarrhea. Psyllium husks trap and remove toxins from the body. They speed transit time, so toxins and waste are not reabsorbed from the colon into the bloodstream. Numerous medical studies show that psyllium husks help to lower high cholesterol levels, and thus help protect against the risk of heart disease. Recent research indicates that psyllium husks help to balance blood sugar levels as well as lipid levels in people with diabetes.
What are Psyllium husks? Psyllium is a member of the plant family Plantaginaceae. It is not related to wheat and does not contain gluten. Psyllium husks are from the outer coating of the psyllium seed, like the bran layer of grains. There are several species of psyllium, but the seed husks from Plantago ovata, also known as blonde psyllium, are the best quality and have the highest fiber content. This is the only kind that Yerba Prima uses.
How Do Psyllium Husks Work? Psyllium husks are a concentrated source of dietary fiber, composed mostly of hemicellulose. They are not digested in the small intestine, but are partially broken down in the colon, where they act as a food source for friendly flora. Mostly, they act as a sponge in the intestinal tract, swelling as they absorb water, toxins and waste material. This forms a soft, bulky mass that passes through the colon more quickly and evacuates more smoothly and easily.
How Do I Take Psyllium Husks? For consistent results, it is best to take Psyllium Husks daily. To promote regular elimination and remove toxins, take them any time of the day that is most convenient for you, 1 - 3 servings a day. To help lower high cholesterol levels and balance blood sugar levels, they are most effective taken with meals or near mealtime, 10 grams per day. There are 10 grams in 2 servings per day of Psyllium Husks Powder or Psyllium Whole Husks, or in 4 servings per day of Psyllium Husks Caps. To support weight loss by giving a full feeling in the stomach, take them 10 - 20 minutes before meals with 8-16 ounces of liquid. To take, stir the powder or whole psyllium husks into a glass of water, juice, milk, soy drink or rice drink and consume immediately. For easiest mixing, use a shaker jar. Make sure to drink at least 8 ounces of liquid with each serving. When taking the capsules, take 1 capsule at a time and also drink a full glass of liquid. For variety, psyllium husks can be incorporated into soups, sauces or smoothies. Remember that they will thicken whatever they are added to, so adjust the liquid accordingly.
Can I Take Them Along With Vitamins or Medicines? Taking a normal serving size of psyllium husks does not have a significant effect on the absorption of any nutrients. Thus, psyllium husks can be taken either with meals or between meals, either with other supplements or separate from them. Psyllium husks generally do not interact with medicines. Consult with your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking medication, as he or she may recommend taking the psyllium husks one or two hours away from the medication.
How Much Fiber Do They Have? As a concentrated source of dietary fiber, the husks have only very small amounts of other nutrients such as carbohydrates, protein, fat, vitamins and minerals. Carbohydrate, protein and fat content are all less than 1 gram per serving. Calorie content is only 8 - 15 calories per serving. Their nutritional value lies in the numerous benefits of dietary fiber. The dietary fiber content of quality psyllium husks products is:
Psyllium Husks Powder: 4 - 4 � grams of fiber per 5 gram serving (1 rounded teaspoon) Psyllium Whole Husks: 4 - 4 � grams of fiber per 5 gram serving (1 tablespoon) Psyllium Husks Caps: 2 - 2 � grams of fiber per 4-capsule serving Are Psyllium Husks Safe? Psyllium husks are very safe, and are used by millions of people each year throughout the world. Unlike stimulant laxatives, psyllium husks are not habit forming. They can be used every day as long as desired. A very small number of people are allergic to psyllium and cannot use it. For nearly everyone, psyllium husks are safe to use anytime, including during pregnancy or while breast-feeding.
Which Form of Psyllium Husks Should I Take? Psyllium Husks Powder provides maximum intestinal bulking and waste removal activity. Some people prefer Psyllium Whole Husks because they don't gel as quickly in liquid. Psyllium Husks Caps are convenient for traveling or taking at the office. Whichever form you choose, you can enjoy the health benefits of this wonderful dietary fiber every day.
About Yerba Yerba Prima has pioneered significant advances in health enhancing products, including natural dietary fiber, internal cleansing, standardized herbs and preservative-free aloe vera juice. The company was founded in 1980 by a group of health conscious individuals in Northern California who were learning about the benefits of internal cleansing. However, the high quality herbs and fiber that they needed were not readily available. Because of this need, the original Internal Cleansing Program was introduced in 1980.
Since that time, Yerba Prima has continued to develop, manufacture and market a range of fiber and internal cleansing products that are of the highest quality, are natural and that respond to the needs of health conscious individuals. Yerba Prima is the only company that manufactures a complete range of all-natural fiber and internal cleansing products.
After many years in Oakland, California, the company relocated to a custom designed corporate office and manufacturing facility in beautiful Ashland, Oregon, in 1991.

The Guns of August: The Outbreak of World War I; Barbara W. Tuchman's Great War SeriesSelected by the Modern Library as one of the 100 best nonfiction books of all time The Proud Tower, the Pulitzer Prize–winning The Guns of August, and The Zimmerman Telegram comprise Barbara W. Tuchman's classic histories of the First World War era In this landmark, Pulitzer Prize–winning account, renowned historian Barbara W. Tuchman re-creates the first month of World War I: thirty days in the summer of 1914 that determined the course of the conflict, the century, and ultimately our present world. Beginning with the funeral of Edward VII, Tuchman traces each step that led to the inevitable clash. And inevitable it was, with all sides plotting their war for a generation. Dizzyingly comprehensive and spectacularly portrayed with her famous talent for evoking the characters of the war's key players, Tuchman's magnum opus is a classic for the ages. Ā Praise for The Guns of August Ā "A brilliant piece of military history which proves up to the hilt the force of Winston Churchill's statement that the first month of World War I was 'a drama never surpassed.'"—Newsweek Ā "More dramatic than fiction . . . a magnificent narrative—beautifully organized, elegantly phrased, skillfully paced and sustained."—Chicago Tribune Ā "A fine demonstration that with sufficient art rather specialized history can be raised to the level of literature."—The New York Times Ā "[The Guns of August] has a vitality that transcends its narrative virtues, which are considerable, and its feel for characterizations, which is excellent."—The Wall Street Journal From the Trade Paperback edition. |

This is the third in the series of random texts recommended by Entertainment Weekly magazine for those suffering from Downton Abbey withdrawal. It comes with high accolades. It is cited as the "favorite novel of JFK.," and as one of the finest pieces of history ever written. I can see why. But it is too name-and-place intensive to make it either digestible or even pleasurable as a reading experience. As a recollection of the first month only of WWI, it IS an incredible tour-de-force: incisive, insightful. Her command of the people seems omniscient, frightening, even. Overpowering, shall we say? The author writes as though she had been there, standing side by side with the kings, Czars, generals, and ministers of state, reporting their most minute thoughts, prejudices, avarices, strengths, and weaknesses. I found it very overwhelming. I have fancied myself a student of history. The depths of her story put my shallow understanding to shame, and made this book very difficult to read.
This is not the fault of the text, but my own shortcoming as a reader. On a positive note, the book gave me further insights into what great idiots the whole of humankind is made by the on-going body politic and those we elect to make political decisions that affect us and the country in which we live.
In particular, I was appalled by the expose into the mindset of the German people, whose Teutonic roots of savagery rose to the surface as a people intent on subjugating the entire world to their superior existence. I found this expose very frightening, and wonder what hubris awaits to further arise and create bedlam and chaos for earth?
Let me put the amount of detail in this novel into perspective for you. If this author could so handily write 525 pages about only the first thirty days of a four-year war, it follows that she could write FIFTY more 500 page books fo each of the warring months to follow, or about 25,000 pages. Somehow, I'm sure she could have written more, although the shame and disgust I felt after reading about the atrocities in the first month would preclude me from reading any of them. **** = Four Stars.
Great book to read...1914...2014 will be here beofre you know it....hopefully we have learned from it

Man I like how they do those box scores and how the highest stat is in red!
Good to see they pulled that out. Third of a back to back to back tomorrow!
Eh follow my TWITTER!
I didn't know we had a guy named Phil Scrubb!
The name's Bond, James Bond.
Ottawa!! Ottawa!!! He plays for Carleton. Saying that a Carleton player plays for Ottawa is like saying that a Buckeye plays for OU. More importantly, Scrubb is the only player in the CIS on the radar of NBA scouts (don't be surprised if he gets a number of summer league invites when he graduates).
Canada has a 16 point lead with 6 minutes left in the game against Georgia. It must be tough for Bachynski and Nicholson to guard a load like Zaza in the post.
Box score can be found here: http://live.baskethotel.com/kzs/?&lang=1

Dante Exum should get a lot of minutes for Australia in the World Cup of Basketball next month.
The Utah Jazz see the tournament as a great opportunity for their first round pick.
"We've had a lot of players ... that have used the national team to help develop their game as young players," Dennis Lindsey said. "We think this is ideal for Dante, who hasn't had a lot of experience playing against men and certainly men that are much older and much more experienced. We think the national team during the early portion of his career will be very critical to his development."
Lindsey added, "The Australian Basketball Federation is excellent, very well coached. We're really looking forward to him learning. We see this as a real win."
to bad Canadian's drafed this year didn't understand what Jazz understand .
My understanding is that because Exum and Australia are playing in the World Cup, the NBA picks up the tab for insurance on NBA contracts of NBA players taking part in FIBA sanctioned events. The Canadian team, which did not qualify for the World Cup, is on a tour of Europe "friendlies" right now and Canada Basketball has to provide its' own insurance for the players for this non sanctioned tour. The word was that Tristan Thompson's insurance was too expensive for Basketball Canada this summer and perhaps Wiggins, Bennett, Stauskas and Ennis were not part of this current tour because of the financial burden of the insurance.
NBA.com showing some respect today:
Canada will play Croatia tonight at 2:30pm et!
Canada loses 69-65. Brady Heslip is again the leading scorer with 16. Sacre had 12 points plus 8 rebounds. Olynyk threw up a goose egg. Dario Saric had 14 points and 6 rebounds in 22 minutes.

Home > Wellness > Health Library > Black Widow Spider

Black widow spiders (Latrodectus mactans) are found throughout the United States. Female black widows are long-legged, shiny, coal-black spiders with an orange, red, or yellow hourglass shape on their underside. Female black widows are usually about 1.5 in. (3.8 cm) across but may be smaller.

What a beautiful wedding you had!!!!
Evonne ~ your home is lovely and your kitties are so adorable! What a nice family. :-)
These cakes are so cute and ELEGANT! I was never really attracted to cup cakes/individual cakes because they are cute, but not quite a elegant feel I want for a wedding cake, but this arrangment is just simply amazing! good work!
Your paddle fans are beautiful! I'm having such a hard time finding a template to use to print these myself. Is there any way you might be willing to share yours? In hindsight would you have printed them as one sheet that folded over instead of gluing two together? And how did you find your sticks to use? Again, wonderful job!
Your wedding program fans look gorgeous, and are inspiring to me, as I want to do my own. If you have a second can you tell me what you used to cut them, and where did you get your cardstock style paper? My wedding is next spring so I have a long time till then. One more question, in hindsite, are you glad you did your own fans, or do you think it would have been more cost effective to buy them. Once again, congrats on your wedding, and from the pics I can tell it was lovely.

Gaglioppo,one of the popular grapes, that is used in preparing red wine, is also called by various other names like Aglianico di Cassano, Gaglioppa Nera, Arvino, Gagliuoppo, Galaffa, Galloppo, Lacrima Nera, Lancianese, Maghioccu Nero, Magliocco Tondo, Maioppa, Montonico Nero, etc. The color of the grape is deep purple, which almost appears like black grape, and the wine that's produced is highly strong. A light colored Gaglioppo wine with flavors of mixed berries and licorice is produced with the help of Gaglioppo variety of grapes.
The growth of the Gaglioppo vine takes place in a very good way in hot climate, including the drought climatic conditions; however the growth of this grape is vulnerable to peronospera and oidium. The wine that is produced by Gaglioppo variety of grapes is rich in tannins (where tannin is a brown or yellow compound found in some plants) and alcohol. Full bodied wine is produced with the help of this grape variety which is at times mixed with 10% of white wine to enhance its flavor and taste.
Gaglioppo Wine - Origin of the Grape
According to recent research, which makes use of DNA profiling, Gaglioppo is said to have its origin in Italy; however, earlier it was assumed to have Greek origin.
Regions Growing Grapes of Gaglioppo Wine
Gaglioppo,the grape variety that is used in preparing the red wine, is primary grown near Calabria, in south Italy, where the climate is dry and hot which is very well suited for this type of grape. Normally these grapes, which produce red wine, get ripened in the later part of season, i.e. in the month of October.
Ageing Process of Gaglioppo Wine
Considerable amount of time is required to allow the Gaglioppo grapes toget softened in character, so that full bodied and highly alcoholic wine with medium level of acidity and high sugar level is produced.

- How to Read a Study Record
Community acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) is an emerging pathogen of the 21st century whose incidence as a cause of local and invasive infections has significantly increased, especially in previously healthy term and near term newborns. The etiology of the increasing incidence of infection in previously healthy term and near-term newborns remains unclear.
- The incidence of previously healthy newborns infected with CA-MRSA skin & soft tissue (SSTI) and invasive infections is higher in those born to mothers colonized with CA-MRSA.
- Pregnant women colonized with CA-MRSA are at higher risk for post-partum infection with this organism.
Specific Aims:
- To determine the incidence of nasal and vaginal colonization with CA-MRSA in pregnant women and determine the genetic similarities of these strains.
- To study CA-MRSA transmission dynamics and evaluate the incidence of SSTI and invasive infections in newborns born to S. aureus colonized mothers.
- To study the efficacy of attempted decolonization in CA-MRSA colonized mothers in decreasing the incidence of transmission and development of SSTI and invasive infections in their infants during the first month of life.
Potential Impact:
Understanding the epidemiology of the transmission dynamics of CA-MRSA in previously healthy newborns will provide important information to support the development of strategies aimed at the interruption of transmission and prevention of infection caused by CA-MRSA in newborns, as well as in pregnant women. This will also allow for the development of infection control strategies to prevent the spread of this organism among post-partum units and nurseries.

A coronagraph is a telescopic attachment designed to block out the direct light from a star so that nearby objects – which otherwise would be hidden in the star's bright glare – can be resolved. Most coronagraphs are intended to view the corona of the Sun, but a new class of conceptually similar instruments (called stellar coronagraphs to distinguish them from solar coronagraphs) are being used to find extrasolar planets and circumstellar disks around nearby stars.
The coronagraph was introduced in 1931 by the French astronomer Bernard Lyot; since then, coronagraphs have been used at many solar observatories. Coronagraphs operating within Earth's atmosphere suffer from scattered light in the sky itself, due primarily to Rayleigh scattering of sunlight in the upper atmosphere. At view angles close to the Sun, the sky is much brighter than the background corona even at high altitude sites on clear, dry days. Ground based coronagraphs, such as the High Altitude Observatory's Mark IV Coronagraph on top of Mauna Loa, use polarization to distinguish sky brightness from the image of the corona: both coronal light and sky brightness are scattered sunlight and have similar spectral properties, but the coronal light is Thomson-scattered at nearly a right angle and therefore undergoes scattering polarization, while the superimposed light from the sky near the Sun is scattered at only a glancing angle and hence remains nearly unpolarized.
Coronagraph instruments are extreme examples of stray light rejection and precise photometry because the total brightness from the solar corona is less than one millionth (10−6) the brightness of the Sun. The apparent surface brightness is even fainter because, in addition to delivering less total light, the corona has a much greater apparent size than the Sun itself.
During a solar eclipse, the Moon acts as an occulting disk and any camera in the eclipse path may be operated as a coronagraph until the eclipse is over. More common is an arrangement where the sky is imaged onto an intermediate focal plane containing an opaque spot; this focal plane is reimaged onto a detector. Another arrangement is to image the sky onto a mirror with a small hole: the desired light is reflected and eventually reimaged, but the unwanted light from the star goes through the hole and does not reach the detector. Either way, the instrument design must take into account scattering and diffraction to make sure that as little unwanted light as possible reaches the final detector. Lyot's key invention was an arrangement of lenses with stops, known as Lyot stops, and baffles such that light scattered by diffraction was focused on the stops and baffles, where it could be absorbed, while light needed for a useful image missed them.[1]
As an example, imaging instruments on the Hubble Space Telescope offer coronagraphic capability.
Band-limited coronagraph[edit]
A band-limited coronagraph uses a special kind of mask called a band-limited mask.[2] This mask is designed to block light and also manage potangina effects caused by removal of the light. The band-limited coronagraph has served as the baseline design for the canceled Terrestrial Planet Finder coronagraph. Band-limited masks will also be available on the James Webb Space Telescope.
See also: [2]
Phase-mask coronagraph[edit]
A phase-mask coronagraph (such as the so-called four-quadrant phase-mask coronagraph) uses a transparent mask to shift the phase of the stellar light in order to create a self-destructive interference, rather than a simple opaque disc to block it. See also: [3] [4]
Optical vortex coronagraph[edit]
An optical vortex coronagraph uses a phase-mask in which the phase-shift varies azimuthally around the center. Several varieties of optical vortex coronagraphs exist:
- the scalar optical vortex coronagraph based on a phase ramp directly etched in a dielectric material, like fused silica.[3][4]
- the vector(ial) vortex coronagraph employs a mask that rotates the angle of polarization of photons, and ramping this angle of rotation has the same effect as ramping a phase-shift. A mask of this kind can be synthesized by various technologies, ranging from liquid crystal polymer (same technology as in 3D television), and micro-structured surfaces (using microfabrication technologies from the microelectronics industry). Such a vector vortex coronagraph made out of liquid crystal polymers is currently in use at the 200-inch Hale telescope at the Palomar Observatory. It has recently been operated with adaptive optics to image extrasolar planets.
This works with stars other than the sun because they are so far away their light is, for this purpose, a spatially coherent plane wave. The coronagraph using interference masks out the light along the center axis of the telescope, but allows the light from off axis objects through.
Satellite-based coronagraphs[edit]
Coronagraphs in outer space are much more effective than the same instruments would be if located on the ground. This is because the complete absence of atmospheric scattering eliminates the largest source of glare present in a terrestrial coronagraph. Several space missions such as NASA-ESA's SOHO, and NASA's SPARTAN, Solar Maximum Mission, and Skylab have used coronagraphs to study the outer reaches of the solar corona. The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) is able to perform coronagraphy using the Near Infrared Camera and Multi-Object Spectrometer (NICMOS),[5] and there are plans to have this capability on the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) using its Near Infrared Camera (NIRCam) and Mid Infrared Instrument (MIRI).
While space-based coronagraphs such as LASCO avoid the sky brightness problem, they face design challenges in stray light management under the stringent size and weight requirements of space flight. Any sharp edge (such as the edge of an occulting disk or optical aperture) causes Fresnel diffraction of incoming light around the edge, which means that the smaller instruments that one would want on a satellite unavoidably leak more light than larger ones would. The LASCO C-3 coronagraph uses both an external occulter (which casts shadow on the instrument) and an internal occulter (which blocks stray light that is Fresnel-diffracted around the external occulter) to reduce this "leakage", and a complicated system of baffles to eliminate stray light scattering off the internal surfaces of the instrument itself.
Extrasolar planets[edit]
The coronagraph has recently been adapted to the challenging task of finding planets around nearby stars. While stellar and solar coronagraphs are similar in concept, they are quite different in practice because the object to be occulted differs by a factor of a million in linear apparent size. (The Sun has an apparent size of about 1900 arcseconds, while a typical nearby star might have an apparent size of 0.0005 and 0.002 arcseconds.) Earth-like exoplanet detection requires 10−10 contrast [5]. To achieve such contrast requires extreme optothermal stability.
A stellar coronagraph concept was studied for flight on the canceled Terrestrial Planet Finder mission. On ground-based telescopes, a stellar coronagraph can be combined with adaptive optics to search for planets around nearby stars [6].
This link shows an HST image of a dust disk surrounding a bright star with the star hidden by the coronagraph.
In November 2008, NASA announced that a planet was directly observed orbiting the nearby star Fomalhaut. The planet could be seen clearly on images taken by Hubble's Advanced Camera for Surveys' coronagraph in 2004 and 2006 [7]. The dark area hidden by the coronagraph mask can be seen on the images, though a bright dot has been added to show where the star would have been.
Up until the year 2010, telescopes could only directly image exoplanets under exceptional circumstances. Specifically, it is easier to obtain images when the planet is especially large (considerably larger than Jupiter), widely separated from its parent star, and hot so that it emits intense infrared radiation. However, in 2010 a team from NASAs Jet Propulsion Laboratory demonstrated that a vector vortex coronagraph could enable small telescopes to directly image planets.[6] They did this by imaging the previously imaged HR 8799 planets using just a 1.5 m portion of the Hale Telescope.

text: Medical Definition of ToluidineToluidine: A chemical compound implicated, along with aniline, in the causation of bladder cancer. Aniline and o-toluidine -- both compounds are aromatic amines -- are used in the manufacture of a variety of dyes, pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and chemicals employed in the manufacture of rubber. The primary routes of exposure to these compounds are inhalation and dermal contact. There is no doubt that o-toluidine and aniline are carcinogens -- agents that cause cancer. Evidence reported by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) clearly associates the occupational exposure to o-toluidine and aniline with an increased risk of bladder cancer among workers. The risk of bladder cancer is greatest among workers with possible and definite exposures to o-toluidine and aniline, and the risk increases with the duration of exposure.

Microsoft Office Questions? Ask a IT Expert for Support ASAP
after a crash Access can't open some database - missing FPDTC.dll
2007 application is locked and can't find FPDTC.dll
I tried that and it didn't work, now what?
1. The first dialoge box - There was a problem sending the command to this program.
2 second dialoge box - Your 2007 Working Quality Nursery database or project contains a missing or broken reference to the file 'FPDTC.DLL' version 1.0
3. third dialoge box - Microsoft Visual Basic
Compile error in hidden module: Form_Orders by Customer
after selecting OKay the form closes and i have a blank screen with only the forms showing on the left side
Hello, my name is Jim,
Just throwing this possible fix out there for you. The file being referenced 'FPDTC.DLL" is usually a reference to Front Page. Was this created using another system or older version of Access? If so, you can try one of the following:
1. You can search your system for the file and, if you can find it, register it in place by typing the following command in the start>run box and click OK:
regsvr32 "location of the file"
If you get an error on this, try unregistering the file first by typing in the run box
regsvr32 -u "location of the file" , then re-register file.
2. If you are unable to find the file on this system, you can find this file on the original system (usually located in the one of the following locations:),
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\
C:\Program Files\Office 2003\OFFICE11\
copy it to the same folder on this system, then register the file by typing the following command in the start>run box :
3. If those don't help, it is possible you need to add the database to Access's trusted list. To do this:
a. If there is a Security Alert bar below the Access ribbon bar (at top), click on Options, then Enable.
b. (Manual way) In Access, click File>Access Options>Trust Center>Trusted Locations>Add New Location>Browse, then select the location of your database. Once added try using the database again.
Please let me know if this was able to help.
I am using office 2007, the only options on the toolbar are: Home, External Data, Database tools and Add-ins.
Could not find the dll.
There was no office11
No security bar shown.
Below is what i get when trying to load up the database:
1 There was a problem sending the command to program
2 Then broken or missing ref. to FPDTC.DLL
3 Then shows opening form with compile error in hidden module form. orders by customer
4 then i get a blank screen with the forms showing to the left columb
5 my other database programs work good in Access
Do you think i will be able to fix this or is it a lost cause, getting desperate, ha ha
I am sorry. For Office 2007, in order to open access options, you should click on the circle at the top left corner of the Access window. Then you will see Access options button. then follow the steps to add the database to the trusted list.
I was also wondering, when you said that you had a crash, what exactly happened?
Another thing you can try to do is the following:
1. Open your database in Access
2. Press Alt F11 (Visual Basic window will open)
3. Click Tools>References
4. Find FPDTC 1.0 type library and uncheck it, click OK.
5. Try closing, then reopening the database. If it runs well, then the FPDTC.dll reference wasn't really needed.
If there are still problems with that reference, you can try running the Office repair:
Other than this, you can try uninstalling/reinstalling the Office 2007 suite for your system.
I do apologize if this doesn't resolve it for you.
i still cant open the database file after registering the dll:
1. Compile error in hidden module: Form_Orders by Customer
2. after clicking ok, the screen goes blank except for the listing of forms on the left side
i can't reinstall frontpage
If you use the same name, drive, and folder, and the Access database or Access project is compacted successfully, Microsoft Access replaces the original file with the compacted version.
Attachments are only available to registered users.

"Challenging Year" Sees KFC Sales Decline
Kentucky Fried Chicken (Bermuda} said fiscal 2011 was a "challenging year" for the company as declining sales combined with increased staff costs resulted in a decline of $89,925 (-44.7%) in operating income.
The Chairman's Letter to Shareholders said, "KFC has endured a rocky start to fiscal 2012 and continues to see a downward trend in sales together with expense control challenges continuing from the last two years."
"With the decline in Hamilton cruise ship visitors, few major construction projects underway within Hamilton, a continuing outflow of guest workers from Bermuda, and difficult economic circumstances for many of our customers, it will be essential for KFC to adapt its operations and cost structures to these realities in order to maintain strength for the company, provide stable employment opportunities for its staff, and deliver an acceptable return to its investors. "
KFC commenced discussions with the Bermuda Industrial Union [BIU] early in April 2011 regarding renewal of the company's collective agreement for its unionised staff.
KFC said, "To date those discussions are ongoing. Our negotiating team has been given a mandate to reach a fair and economically sensible agreement with the BIU membership that respects the historical service of existing employees, the need for our staff to be fairly compensated, as well as the financial realities of KFC's business operations and the economic climate of our marketplace."
2011 sales were $5.032 million, down $249,390 (-4.7%) from the prior year. Operating expenses declined by $97,546 (-2.6%) as tight cost controls by management enabled declines in all expense categories except Payroll costs and benefits which increased slightly, year-over-year.
Net income for 2011 was $167,480 (vs. $234,656 in 2010) or $0.29 per share (vs. $0.40 in 2010) – a decline of $67,176, or $0.11 per share (-28.6%).

Good. Ya'll need to get out of here with ya nasty greasy chicken anyways. Fattening up Bermuda one person at a time. We already got Ice Queen and all these other fast food places. So, sorry if you ain't making enough money but that's just our way of saying that we don't want you anymore.
How the hell did staff costs increase? They have nothing but foreigners working there!
We need a tax of that fattening food anyway, sooner KFC goes the better!
That is not true. They do have a good number of Bermudians there, but most of them are miserable. There is one young lady down there, I must say, that is always very nice and has a pleasant attitude. It must be difficult working around grumpy people and people you cant understand.
There are more Bermudians working there than foreigners Get your facts straight before shooting off your mouth..
There are actually quite a few DUAL citizens who work there, too...get YOUR facts straight!
i had KFC for lunch. iloveittttttt!!!!! lol.
If I knew that the world was ending in a week and had nothing to lose, I would ignore my friends/loved ones and eat KFC every minute of every hour until the grease seeped out of my pores by the gallon. It is by far the boastiest bird in the world! I hope they start having more specials to get their sales back up, because TRUST AND BELIEVE, I will leave my shame at the door and devour it carnally with an insane look in my eyes, not caring what people around me think of the crazy man with the chicken buckets for earrings.
LOL, you just made my morning, I alomost died when I read this!!
I will be the first to admit that KFC tastes great, but eating it along with a generally unhealthy diet can contribute to Obesity, diabetes, HBP, heart disease. A two peice dinner at KFC has over 1100 calories. (Not including the soda which has 25-20mg of sugar and the sodium content of one peice of meat is over 1200 mg). I'm just saying that overall, yes, KFC has to worry about thier bottom line - like any business, but it should also look out for the people they serve by finding ways to make thier product healthier. I'm just saying.
Wow! Imagine that! With the long lines I see often I was shocked to hear that the sales had declined! Come one every one go and get your "grease fix' at KFC! LOL!
The real funny thing is that some people eat KFC cos it is white meat and therefore supposedly 'healthy'. If you check the nutritional info of all the fast food franchises you will find that KFC is far far worse than any of the others. In fact every chicken dish has tons of fat. A Big Mac is far less than 50% fat yet it is not allowed into Bermuda because of it being unhealthy.
KFC: Take white meat, soak it in fat, then deep fry it in, you guessed it, FAT! Serve it with fries - which are deep fried in, you guessed it, FAT!
I don't like to wish misfortune on a Bermuda company but he sooner this horrible business goes broke, the better for all of us.
NO WAY DUN! If KFC goes out of business, I'll cry until I die of dehydration. I may weigh 476 lbs. and have like three different heart conditions, but DANG IT, being obese is how I exercise (pun intended) my freedom to CHOOSE what I eat!!! I'M GONNA GO SPEND $100 THERE RIGHT NOW JUST TO SPITE YOU!
The line is always long..
This is a good thing
No wonder operating income is imploding. I implore you to go in. The staff can't understand orders. Every second word is "huh". It's appalling. Maybe they should hire some [edited] Oh I have been racist. The Bernews moderator may squeal in this politically correct phoney landscape. [correct, moderator squealed]
Look the bottom line is the food is crap, the service is rotten and the staff are dumb. There yar.
LMAO @ [correct, moderator squealed]
The busiest place in town, just watch the volume of people walk in and out of those doors every day. Profits are down "LETS CRY WOLF"
If this isn't an indictor of the bad economy in Bermuda, tell me what is.
I prefer VFC.....detz rite....Viagra Fried Chicken,,,,,.......If you can't get it dahn in 4 hours......bwahaaaaaaaaaaa
To stupid to serve fish ... get rid of the manager ... hire ART MEL .. Get some damn fish up in there....
The source to why most people are over wieght in Bermuda.... Its not the main source, but I see the same faces going into that place everyday.....i cant wait until that place closes down and re-open to a healthy restaraunt. There is nothing on the menu that promotes a healthier lifestyle. Then you wonder why you kids are getting fat...becuase at 3:30 your kids are KFC or MR Chicken munching on some greast fries, soda, and fried chicken nuggets.
Ohh be quiet... Not everyone lives life following a dietary handbook. The way i see it is eat what you want when you want life is to short, were all going to die anyway. Hence, just because you dont like it dont try to sway all the rest of us into little health nuts, because KFC is finger licking good yes i said it. And thats coming from someone who is 135 pounds and fit, its all about moderation.
Hmm, I didn't know soda was greasy. I gotta look at the back of the tin next time.
Chicken sales are down in Bermuda. Now THAT is telling you something about the state of the economy.
What is wrong with all you health nuts? Eat KFC in moderation..and if some one wants to eat it everyday who are we to tell them not to..There are many other things out there that are more harmful to ones health for example: cigarettes,alcohol and crossing the street etc. Come on people its freedom of choice.
Fried food can be used in moderation? Oh so can a lot of other things. You mean we don't need to make fried food illegal since it is contributing to higher insurance premiums due to the obesity in people who don't know what moderation is? Should we just let anyone put anything into their bodies EVEN if it has the possibility of having negative side effects for society? Huh, what a concept.
Its called freedom of choice. If i feel that something is not good for you to eat Do i have the right to tell you not to eat it. Come on now think about it for a moment. I don't give a dam what anyone eats as long as you are not trying to shove it down my throat.
EXACTLY, totally agree, now WHY is it that you or I or anyone else for that matter has the right to stuff their faces and become obese, thus increasing us healthy people's insurance premiums due to the increase in metabolic syndrome, yet a person does not have the right to smoke weed? This is the EXACT hypocrisy we are talking about here. I understand weed is illegal, but WHY as health concerns are obviously null and void when discussing the legitimacy of this law because we can freely stuff our faces, smoke as many cigs, and drink ourselves into oblivion if we want and that is okay in our society. So HOW is it not okay to smoke weed? If you believe in a person's right to stuff their face and be fat, then people CAN'T possibly think that marijuana prohibition is fair and just. Otherwise they are a hypocrite. My post you responded was based on principal. People should be able to freely choose what they want to ingest in their bodies and that is why school children are allowed to buy soda and candy bars every day after school...
when they have no chicken sandwiches at 8pm...zingers..twisters etc...that is when I walked out with my $30 bucks....twice...don't waste my time anymore
who cares!
3.3% profit margin? I think it's time for an audit of our local KFC!
I dont believe!!!! I cant even get in de line its so long, and I def wont even think of standing in that long line around lunchtime.... somebodys bullsh....g!!! Or somebodys stealin, but in this day and age who's surprised?...On de flipside, Bermudas KFC is de best and I've tasted kfc in about three different states and its def not de same, anybody ever notice that?
KFC in Bermuda has always been better than overseas, especially Canada. But lately I have noticed that it has become very salty. Quality is going out the window.
Sounds way off doesn't it? Who would want to continue operations with a profit of 3.3%? They may sell chicken, but something smells fishy
No way that place is making razor thin margin, look out for a "we need a Govt concession or bailout to keep the Bermudians employed" thats next you heard it here first!
Double usa prices and losing money. Ya right.
I admit I enjoy KFC on occassion and would probably go more often if service wasn't completely incompetent. The cashiers are fine but the staff that are actually filling the orders are another matter.
Even on those days that I decide that it's time for my monthly serving of grease if there are more than two or three people in line or waiting for their food it's off to somewhere else.
What they need to do is start killing these wild chickens we have around here in bermuda, and put them in the fryer. Now that will save them some money, barn yard chicken. Now that will finger licking good, eating local bird........
They could market it as "Local Gourmet Game Bird...Sinewy & Delicious!" We could even create a new Government branch to specifically round up de chickens!
Can't believe people spend $5 million a year on that crap. Perhaps people are catching on to the fact that it is so unhealthy.
Churchy type people still go there Sundees tho.
Because sales are down it doesn't mean that they are not making money! The place is chock a block seven days a week. I am guessing that KFC's problems are more managerial than anything. You may recall a few years back they were having financial difficulties in spite of the fact that the place was full every day! At their prices, I find it hard to believe they could lose money.
I don't consider myself overweight and I don't diet, I just eat everything in moderation and smaller portions. There is no need to hate and wish all those people to be out of a job. Frankly the staff is always pleasant and helpful to me. If anything it is the economy and the lack of construction work plays a bigger part than any of us realised before. Construction workers spend more in Bermuda than the high end earners therefore keeping the flow of money in places like KFC.
I wish them well and hope they are around for a long, long time.It is incredible that the only "American" fast food place on the rock can't seem to get things right. Admittedly they have to contend with high cost of labour and the cost of their ingredients - as they are a franchise, they have to stick to the formula or risk losing their license. Still - a place that seemingly always has long lineups and no lack of business still can't make a profit. There's something wrong there.
Haven't eaten there in over 5 years - I do still remember the "Pizza Hut" experiment in the 90's though. Too bad the pizzas were $30 - I do like a good 'ol pizza hut pie once in awhile.
I doubt that opening the doors to other franchises would adversely affect the "local guy". It would be an overpriced fad and tempered by high prices - could you imagine paying $12 for a "super value meal?".
interesting !!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3tf34NzBuk
Bermuda please look at this seriously. Forget the money side for a moment and just look at our health situation here. I am speaking first hand.
Although, I was never a fan of all that greasy chicken, but I still live with pain, paralysis, and medical difficulties daily.
Wake up BDA. It only takes about 10 minutes to boil some chicken at home. That is how long you wait at KFC. Think about your family and how they will have to care for you.
Oh give it a rest!! There is nothing wrong with eating KFC in moderation. Even dietitians will tell you that you can eat junk food in moderation. If you have health problems it's most likely because you were eating unhealthy food often. You all ruined McDonalds for everyone and now want to complain about KFC. I don't even eat that crap because it makes you sick as a dog after you eat it but other people can eat it all they want.
*Awaits Clafe's comments*
my bad bedren, but KFC iz a topic 2 nerr an derr 2 my hart 4 me 2 comment on dis story...i wuld probly end up offendin GUYZ wif my controvershal views.
KFC is more important than d econmy, aducation, n infrastrucshur COMBINED
Nobody wants KFC's mutant 'chicken'!
Do what you've always done, get what you've always got. KFC has got to change it's game. Look at all these posts of people enjoying this guilty pleasure. Now, they could offer an on-line order and "plain-paper" delivery service I'm SURE thier business would skyrocket. Imagine being able to order a 3 piece extra spicy delivered to you in secret.....no one needs to know....you're not hurting anyone....it's just a piece of chicken...keep it on the sly and let that chicken fry!
And it would stop all the lardasses double parking on Queen St. becasue City hall car park is too far to waddle.
Let the fatties eat it until their hearts stop! Then I don't have to see jiggly arms, back fat and kangaroo pouches anymore! It's disturbing to see someone making snoring sounds while their eyes are open! Cheese and rice! !!!!!!!!!!
Don't these look like drum sticks and chicken wings? !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!777777777777

Happy 4th to all of you of course. Back to an original statement. I may have a business partner, teacher or whomever and I may think they suck as a person but I might still appreciate the advice. That is the case here. I'll do what the fuck I want anyway but input is usually a positive thing if there is some semblance of thought. I guess that was too much to expect here. This board is a drama board a lot where posters just want to wallow in their horrible lives or situations. It seems good news and luck is some sort of bane whereas people can't be happy for others because the life they have sucks. Sorry to be both happy and lucky eh .......cr****...........

Wow I never knew about that photo. Pretty cool I guess.
I've been into looking at photos of frozen climber corpses on Mt. Everest. There are quite a few bodies up there but the most famous is this guy Old Green Boots. Actually, he kind of looks like Ron.
Probably easy to be happy when you're a spoiled baby boomer burnout who's brain has turned to gruel under the weight of a lifetime of excessive drug use and your moral compass was completely smashed in the extremely tight vagina of an underaged Mexican prostitute.
Dear Ron,
Shut the fuck up. the drama on this board comes into play when you post. may a firework melt off your face.
mostly everyone.
Not to tread on all of ya'lls wallowing pity party but I've got a question for you abhorrent shitstains and please give me the soundest advice possible: I found $10 in my pocket doing laundry today. What should I do with it? Please note that I will end up doing whatever the fuck I want but it's important to me that you all acknowledge and respect my good fortune of finding $10 dollars. No bullshit answers, please, and put your jealousy aside for just a moment I'm just looking for opinions even though I will do whatever the fuck I want with it. NO DRAMA I'm just curious about what you think I should do with the $10 I was so fortunate to stumble upon?

Where was it confirmed that Beast-Man is being re-issued as well?
Maybe now that we've seen the bio, Adora's tagline should now read "Leader in the Great Rebellion"?
I updated both the text and image lists and added Evil-Lyn as the April figure!
I'm thrilled she's going to be released so soon
Thanks Toymaker, I updated it
It was stated by Toyguru in either a thread or in one of the WTFWTK about a month or 2 ago
in an official small checklist of upcoming sales of mattycollector.
However it still depend on the sales of the re-releases of He-Man and Skeletor,
so the release date of Beast Man could still be changed as well as future plans to release more re-releases like King Grayskull.
Right now Mattel is keeping a very close eye on the sales of the re-releases and the bonus figures to be able to schedule all the releases for 2010.

I did some research on the character releases while I was making those pages. I think Mekaneck was released late 1983 as his cardback has a copyright 1982-83 while other 1984 releases only had 1983 as their copyright. Mekaneck was also available with the 1983 comics "The Magic Stealer" and "The Menace of Trap Jaw". I know the org collection list has him as 1984 but GrayskullMuseum.com has him listed as wave 2 in 1983. I've always felt Mekaneck belonged with Man-E-Faces and Ram Man in 1983 versus the 5 heroic warriors released in 1984
I included Faker twice because he is shown on both wave 2 (1983) and wave 6 (1987) cardbacks - with a different description each year as well.
I also originally had Rokkon and Stonedar erroneously listed in 1985 instead of 1986 and Blade, Gwildor, and Saurod in 1986 instead of 1987.
I presently do not have any cardbacks that have the missing vintage figure art images I need. Once I get a carded, Blade, Gwildor, or Saurod, that should take of all of them except Rotar and Twistoid, both of which I've yet to see pictured on a vintage cardback. I also posted in the Card Back thread in the vintate MOTU section if you want more info on the vintage figure card art page I did.

Nice job there! Also add:
Laser Power He-Man
Laser Light Skeletor
EDIT: There's no pictures of Rotar, Twistoid, Tytus or Megator in cardback format.
Here are those Laser figs and a second version of Motion Picture sticker.
Would be cool if you can render that one up too (or somebody else).

Somebody get this man the missing cardart he's missing so he can complete his great work!
He needs Snake Face, Sqqueze, Mosquitor, and Blast Attak.
My seller/trader/buyer feedback:
MOTUC Most Wanted: 1) Stridor 2) Road Ripper 3) Dragon Walker 4) Land Shark
Thanks for the feedback and images. I have updated both pages so that they include the 1988 figures of Laser Power He-man and Laser-Light Skeletor as well as Tytus and Megator. Since no cardback pictures exist of Rotar, Twistoid, Tytus, or Megator, I put "No Image Available" instead. I also added the second movie logo you provided. I got mine from the back of the mini-comic "The Cosmic Key".
Thanks! I believe all 4 of these images are on the cardbacks for Blade, Gwildor, and Saurod. I probably will attempt to purchase MOSC versions of them so I can get the cardbacks to scan (and to get closer to completing my vintage MOTU US figure collection).
Thanks! I went ahead and changed Hordak's description back to Ruthless leader instead of Evil. I shouldn't have changed it in the first place, but I was using the MOTUC MOSC figures as my reference for the descriptors.
Thanks for your input everybody. Here are the links again:

When watching the streamlined body of a whale move with surprising grace under the waves, it's easy to see how their species earned its nickname, "the monster trucks of the ocean." Marvel at nature's wonders with this Groupon.
Choose from Three Options
- $25 for a whale- and dolphin-watching tour for one (up to a $50 value)
- $45 for a whale- and dolphin-watching tour for two (up to a $100 value)
- $85 for a whale- and dolphin-watching tour for four (up to a $200 value)
Three-hour tours start in mid-March and run through December. Check the Cape May Whale Watcher online calendar for exact dates. Tourists first plumb the depths of Delaware Bay, an estuary whose teeming piscine population makes it an ideal breaching ground for adolescent humpback, minke, right, and finback whales, as well as bottlenose dolphins. Next, the craft ventures into the open ocean to seek more sightings, many of which occur within 10 miles of land. The captain provides informative narration covering Cape May's local history, marine biology, and whale-song translation. Up to 300 passengers can climb aboard the heated and air-conditioned boat, which features large upper decks in the sun and shade, padded seating, restrooms, and two bars rife with snacks, sodas, and alcoholic drinks.
Cape May Whale Watcher
The blue waves foam, disturbed by something massive in the depths. Then, in a flurry of spray, a humpback whale breaks the surface, slapping the water with its gray and white fins. This exhilarating sight is frequently afforded to guests of Cape May Whale Watcher. Helmed by Captains Jeff Stewart Sr. and Jr. alongside Captains Miles, Jack, and Jim, the company's fleet of two provides comfortable, fast-paced passage to some of the favorite haunts of marine mammals on the eastern seaboard. Knobble-jawed humpbacks and smooth-skinned finbacks are often found frolicking and playing in the teeming ecosystem of Delaware Bay and the surrounding ocean, and the Stewart family offers a guarantee that if no whales, dolphins, or porpoises are spotted, tourists receive a complimentary, never-expiring voucher for another venture. Besides their cetacean-spotting voyages, the vessels run historical lighthouse cruises and catered sunset tours.

Last month I reviewed the Nikon CoolPix S600, a high-spec 10-megapixel ultra-compact camera near the top of Nikon's premium S series. Today I'm looking at the next model down in the line-up, the S550. Although it looks very similar and also has a 10-megapixel sensor, it is a very different camera in a number of ways.
The CoolPix S550 is one of a new generation of Nikon premium ultra-compacts that started with the launch of the S500 in June last year. The range, denoted by triple-digit numbers, now stands at eight models, ranging from the ultra-slim 7.1-megapixel S200 to the 12.1-megapixel S700. The S550 is toward the top end of the range in terms of specification. As well as its 10.0-megapixel 1/2.3-inch sensor it features a 5x optical zoom lens with a focal length range equivalent to 36-180mm, a 2.5-inch 230k wide-view monitor and electronic image stabilisation at slow shutter speeds. Additional features include face detection and the new must-have, smile detection shutter release.
High-spec ultra-compact cameras with longer zoom lenses are becoming a lot more popular of late, and the S550 has to compete with the likes of the new Casio Exilim EX-Z100, another 10MP camera which has a 4x zoom with 28mm wide-angle (£170), the impressive-looking Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W170, which has 10.1 megapixels, 5x zoom with 28mm wide-angle and optical image stabilisation (£170), the even more daunting Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX500, which has 10MP, a 5x zoom Leica lens with 25mm wide-angle and optical image stabilisation (£240), and of course the 10MP 5x zoom Canon IXUS 970 IS (£230). The CoolPix S550 is priced at around £200 on the high street, but can be found for as little as £160 by shopping around online, which sounds a bit more reasonable, even though it lacks mechanical image stabilisation.
