Would you let your teen get Botox?
By BrittB on 10 Nov 2010
More than 200,000 teens had some sort of plastic surgery last year, with 12,000 of those being Botox injections. Would you let your teen get plastic surgery or Botox? New breast and nose jobs seem to be popular graduations gifts. What do you think?
Comments (5)
A women in England known as the "Human Barbie," due to her 100 plastic surgeries, injected 16 year old daughter with Botox. Saying she would rather her daughter come to her than get Botox off the streets.
I know I was shocked too!

Gardens for Children
21st November
What could be more perfect than an English cottage garden on a sunny afternoon?- two such gardens within walking distance of each other and both serving teas in secluded nooks and crannies!
To help raise money for Himalayan Learning during the summer months, Jane and Helena jointly opened their gardens in Rousdon in conjunction with the National Garden's Scheme. With lots of hard work to get the garden's as perfect as possible, they and their myriad of friends and helpers, opened once a month throughout the summer, and served homemade teas and wonderful cakes, to raise over £2000 - of which £500 has been donated to H.L. to help fund school renovations and take pipelines with water to them.
Following the success of this year's venture they will be opening again next year too - so if you are in the East Devon/Dorset area on the second Sunday of the month from April to August, please go to see their beautiful cottage gardens set deep in the countryside near Lyme Regis and enjoy the best homemade cakes in the world whilst helping Himalayan Learning too.
With the first phase of the Jaladevi school renovation scheme completed (see below), the project now moves on to building two new class rooms. More

A brilliant article by Mahen Napal appeared in l'Express yesterday, challenging the official story of how Mauritius became independent. In fact it is too generous to SSR, the Betrayer of the Nation. The Chagos Islands weren't the price paid for independence back in 1968. At the same time, islands were taken from the Seychelles and later returned to them when they gained independence in 1976. If either nation had raised the issue in the UN then the international community (especially Russia) would not have permitted it.
To buy their silence the Seychelles received an international airport and Mauritius got £3 million. Given that SSR was initially asking for £140 million over 20 years, he sold the Chagos islands and sold out the Chagossian people for peanuts didn't he? How can that be explained unless the UK offered him a personal "incentive", remember that was already knighted by then? Yes the UK did pretend that they would snatch away SSR's legacy of becoming "father of the nation" but only to make him accept the safeguards for the minority communities, i.e. the Best Loser System. Read all about it in the British records. SSR wasn't the first deceitful politician to re-write history and unfortunately, he won't be the last… Read the rest of this entry »

About Me Quality Oriented
Comments about Staples� Duramark� Permanent Markers, Chisel Tip, Assorted, Dozen:
The Sharpie markers make sign and poster creation simple and easy. The variety of colors help you make your signs and posters highly visible. The quality of these markers are unsurpassed and will guarantee that I will always use them as long as they are available. I have been using these products for many years and have never been disappointed at their performance. They last a long time and for the price, make them a great value. I would recomend these markers to anyone who makes signs and posters.

By Tina
from Columbus, OH
I ordered a box for my store and we use permanent markers a lot. I purchased the box around December 2011 and they've already all run out and it's only March 2012! When you would first open a new one the ink would take forever to dry. They are quite as permanent as Sharpies because they can be removed from plastic with glass cleaner. I guess you get what you pay for.

Tech Week Ahead: What Went Wrong With Tech IPOs?
Host Audie Cornish looks ahead to the week's tech news with NPR's Steve Henn.
Copyright © 2012 NPR. For personal, noncommercial use only. See Terms of Use. For other uses, prior permission required.
From NPR News, this is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED. I'm Melissa Block.
And I'm Audie Cornish.
And it's time for All Tech Considered.
CORNISH: Not so long ago, Facebook, Zynga and Groupon were the most hyped companies planning to go public, but many investors' high hopes have been dashed.
NPR's tech correspondent Steve Henn joins us to talk about what went wrong for these companies. Welcome back, Steve.
STEVE HENN, BYLINE: Hi.
CORNISH: So what happened to Silicon Valley's money-making magic?
HENN: Well, you know, for investors who bought these companies' stock when they went public the past year, it's basically been a disaster. But if you compare Groupon, Facebook, and Zynga to some of the spectacular failures from the first Internet bubble, these firms are actually pretty different. All three still have sizable revenues and have had healthy profits, at least in the past.
But in all three cases, the expectations about how successful these companies could be got incredibly out of whack in the run up to their IPOs.
CORNISH: But what was driving the hype?
HENN: Well, part of is that today, even before a company goes public, their shares often trade on these little private markets. And because of that, we've seen are these pre-IPO bubbles inflate. You have small investors who get excited about companies and pour money into them, and their stock shoots up. That creates expectations about an IPO. But all of these expectations are built basically on guesswork. There's no public information on revenue or earnings for companies before they go public.
And so, in the case of Facebook and Groupon, their stocks actually hit record highs before their IPOs. In both cases, early backers sold big chunks of their stake. They cashed out, at least in part. Now, that doesn't mean that now Groupon and Facebook are doomed to fail, but it has been a pretty raw deal for lots of little investors.
CORNISH: That's NPR's tech correspondent Steve Henn. Thank you, Steve.
HENN: My pleasure.

An Oldie But Goodie – Santa Claus is Kind of a Dick
Dearest Reader, What you are reading is a recycled post. I crafted this homage to Santa Claus's dickery back before the iPhone 5 was invented, Beyonce still had a baby inside her uterus and Hugo was trapped in a box … Continue reading

Santa Claus is Kind of a Dick

Abby, not in attire for dressage, but she is on Fay who was in the Rose Bowl Parade.
What you do see is their modern counterparts: an extensive collection of enormous towering machinery that sets the tone of modern farming.
But that other part of the Laurie Hoffman story can be seen further on past these parked industrial and mechanical monsters. The working predecessors are frisking about in a large field: well-groomed, healthy, inquisitive mules and donkeys of various heights and shades, mostly of light brown and gray, an occasional black.
Laurie Hoffman explains why she has this preference for mules and donkeys as, "I had horses my whole life, and I had some broken bones to mark it. I heard mules were safer, they do not bolt, and I found when I started being around mule people, they are fun." From that discovery to today it only took Laurie five years to build her herd.
Mule stereotypes have had centuries to become established. For instance, mules are mentioned in Greek classical literature as early as 8th Century B.C. The most familiar stereotype "stubborn as a mule," Laurie says "no longer applies because of vastly improved breeding techniques. Since the mule is sterile and a hybrid between a horse and a donkey, more attention is paid to the mare and her characteristics. The result is that it is possible to say 'smart as a mule.'"
Laurie points out another difference from the horse world, although the mare has increased in importance, "The breed is not political. You do not need to prove lineage and pedigrees. Your eyesight tells you it is a mule or donkey. Look at the ears."
The cost of mules has, of course, escalated as their role and better breeding has changed. According to Laurie, "a show mule can go as high as $6,000, while the going rate for a decent harness-driving mule is $2,000."
Now, mules are adding to their history of work animals and entering competitive shows and other events. Perhaps a "famous" Hoffman draft mule is Fay, who was in the Rose Bowl Parade. Her mother is a Belgian draft horse, and her father a donkey. Here, in addition to the ears, Fay's unmistakable tawny brown color, blond mane and tail, and placid disposition make her a stand-out.
Laurie does not have to do all the work herself. She is fortunate to have Abby Christmas as a constant helper, rider, and admirer of mules at the farm. The association takes on added meaning to Laurie because Abby, a long time friend of her son Bennett who was fatally injured in an accident, "in addition to her love of animals, works at the farm as a continuing tribute to Bennett."
Every action of Abby as she works with the mules and donkeys shows skill and admiration for the animal, a feeling that is reciprocated by the mules. The relationship between them sets a pattern for Abby's work with them. She says she finds the mules "really fun and different, and always a challenge."
As an indication of how mules are becoming part of the traditional horse shows, Abby showed in 10 Michigan events this summer. The show rules and techniques for mules are the same as for horses, including dressage and attire. "The mules train well so I ride, jump, and race them along with the horses," she explains.
Abby also becomes a wagon/carriage driver for those featured rides (weather permitting) as part of Laurie's business The Line Shack. It is open Saturday and Sunday in the fall, noon-6 p.m., 231-750-4033.

My precious, little (well not really so little, 70lbs) pup Dash had to undergo leg surgery a few months ago. Unfortunately that led to her leading a sedentary, very lazy recovery period where we couldn't let her run and be playful. She has now fully recovered. She is also seven pounds heavier. This posed a little bit of a problem for me because I love to spoil her with treats! I started making her puppy popsicles. It's great because it's a more healthy alternative than just giving her full treats.
Here is how it works, it's pretty simple. Take a few of your dogs favorite treats. I used the small milk bone treats for this.
Then stick them in a plastic bag and smash them up with a rolling pin.
Then take an ice cube tray filled with water and sprinkle the treats in. Remember not to put them in your drinks!
The end result, you get 12 treats while only using three small milk bones.
They look yummy don't they? Dash loves them so much, she now licks her lips and wags her tail every time someone gets something from the freezer! Now she can cool down like the rest of us on those hot, dog days of summer.

October Magazine: Quint Kessenich's Fallball 'What to watch for'
Fallball is the time of year where we get to see how the new parts mesh with the old parts. Coaches are able to teach and experiment without the pressure of game day looming.
For a team, fallball sets the tone for the off-season training period and the spring. Freshman are assimilated into the family, role players and reserves get an opportunity for more significant glory, and young captains learn to lead.
For some, the results of fall scrimmages are blog and forum fodder, but I find them to be worthless for consumption. Here are some storylines I've got my eyes on...

About us
Porthkerry 5 2013 results here and pictures in Gallery 2
Cosmeston Relays 2013 entry form here
We are celebrating our first 25 years as a club!
We were formed following a letter to the Penarth Times on 28th April 1988 and enthusiastic responses that set feet in motion, so that on Monday 23rd May 1988 a group was able to set out from Cogan Leisure centre for the first time. We have not looked back since.
We are still an enthusiastic group and welcome runners of all abilities. We meet every Monday evening, 7pm at Cogan Leisure Centre in Penarth (Vale of Glamorgan), although during the summer months (from 13th May) we move to the lovely settings of Cosmeston Lakes Country Park on the outskirts of Penarth.
Our sessions are varied to suit all running tastes and to help our members to improve. We also organise a range of social events such as our legendary Xmas parties, ceilidhs and skittles evenings. On the serious side, we organise 2 races each year where the bulk of the proceeds go to charity. The Cosmeston Relays has run over 20 years and the first Porthkerry Five is establishing itself as a testing off road race.
If you are thinking about joining a running club please come and try us out. There's no obligation to join and, because we have members of all abilities, you can be sure of finding a group to run (and talk!) with. See membership form here.

I keep hearing that all three left in a car. I was in the area. There was an undercover policeman that told us to look out for two black men in black hoodies that they were looking for in area. I believe three tried to cross the street. One collapsed. One drove off in a car. Two made it across the street and those are the two missing. They even looked in the dumpsters. Can anyone else confirm this?

Today's Contra Costa Times referred to the dead suspect as "Victim."

Pass the Whiskey
Veteran actors Willem Dafoe and Matt Dillon were spotted recently shooting scenes on Horace Street off Perkins Road near the Garden District for the Cole Hauser-directed crime drama Whiskey Bay. The production, which our source says is based on a true police story from the 1980s, is filming at Angola as well, but will continue shooting in the Baton Rouge area for the rest of the month. This is Hauser's first feature film as a director. The actor is better known for character roles in Good Will Hunting, ER and The Break-Up.
Dubsteppin', cow-tippin'
Fans of dubstep were surprised to see one of its pioneers, Bassnectar, booked a show in Baton Rouge Sept. 29 at a venue most hadn't heard of—Sugarcane Village. It's listed at 14200 River Road, just up from the new L'Auberge Casino. From the road, it looks more sugarcane than village, leaving fans wondering if this would be an impromptu outdoor concert. A bassnectar.net moderator confirmed in early August, "It's a new space … According to the promoter, a? new sign is going up in the next few weeks and it is set off the road a bit." So that will explain the strobe lights and heavy bass you are sure to witness near Gardere that weekend.

Bad Guys, Good Eats! Pop-Up Dinner at Restaurant IPO
Chef and 225 contributor Jay D. Ducote and Chef Chris Wadsworth hosted the Bad Guys, Good Eats! dinner at Restaurant IPO Wednesday night. The dinner was themed around famous movie villains, pairing cocktails and ales with plates of food resembling famous baddies like The Joker, Lord Voldemort, Hannibal Lector, and many others. The highlights of the night were the three middle courses—a black bean soup laced with blood sausage to signify Lord Voldemort, a brace of coneys on black eyed peas resembling Sauron, and lamb medallions atop a fava bean puree to pay homage to the famous favorite of Hannibal Lector.

Celtics go to double OT to edge Mavs, 117-115
BOSTON -- Paul Pierce scored eight of his season-high 34 points in the second overtime and Rajon Rondo fell one rebound shy of a triple double as host Boston snapped a four-game losing skid to Dallas with a thrilling 117-115 double-overtime win on Wednesday.
Rondo finished with 16 points and 15 assists to go along with a career-high 53 minutes for the Celtics, who have won four consecutive home games.
O.J. Mayo scored 18 of his 24 points after halftime to lead seven players in double digits for the Mavericks, who saw their three-game winning streak come to an end.
Boston had the final possessions in both regulation and the first overtime, but Rondo and Pierce saw their respective last-second shots fall short.
Pierce made amends by drilling a 3-pointer on the Celtics' first possession of the second overtime. The veteran calmly sank five free throws in the session to seal the win.
- - - - - - -
GAME NOTEBOOK: Celtics G Jason Terry played against his former team for the first time since signing a three-year deal in the offseason. Terry, who finished with 10 points, competed with the Mavericks for eight campaigns. ... Wednesday's game was just the second one to go into overtime between the teams. The first came on Dec. 30, 1983, when Hall of Famer Larry Bird scored 36 points in a 114-109 Boston win. ... Dallas F Shawn Marion returned following a two-game absence with a strained groin. He finished with 16 points and 11 rebounds.

Ronald Reagan: Part I
February sixth marks the the centennial of the birth of Ronald Reagan. He wasn't a Nevadan and never lived in Nevada, but he had an impact here. From performing at the Hotel Last Frontier to his relationship with Nevada's 21st and 22nd governors, Grant Sawyer and Paul Laxalt, Reagan forged a close relationship with the Silver State. For instance, Laxalt and Reagan helped form the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency to keep the lake beautiful. His relationship with Laxalt continued on through Reagan's presidency and helped forge the way for other Nevadans' involvment. Senator Richard Bryan explains.

From Total Survivalist Libertarian Rantfest
I do hate to go down the "just one anything" rabbit hole. However if a person can only afford one rifle/pistol/shotgun/22 for the foreseeable future that is sometimes that is where we find ourselves. Craig has a single action .22 revolver but those are really plinking/ small game guns. So we are at the one pistol question.
I think a few key things are important to talk before going into specific models:
Common calibers are common for a reason. Buy a 9mm, .40 S&W, or .45ACP in auto's or a .38 special/ .357 Magnum in revolvers, maybe .44 Special/ Mag if you need bear medicine. I don't plan to argue other calibers though I know some are almost as common as the ones I listed.
Use a caliber sufficient for your task at hand. For a primary defensive pistol (vs a hideout) I would not purchase a weapon smaller than 9mm or .38 special. Folks may look at this differently as is their right. Of course a dangerous game gun needs more power. However this is where you have to make choices. A .44mag or 10mm or whatever small enough and light enough for most people to regularly conceal is not one I would want to shoot more than once. Again people may look at things differently.
Common models and calibers are common for a reason. There are oddballs still but that is mostly about personal preference and use. On the other hand some no name one year run guns are great, however some of them are not. This also runs into parts, magazine and accessory availability.
Of course what you are going to do (as well as your build and budget)
matters. A pistol that is going to live in the house or truck can be as
big as you want. A pistol carried for bear protection should have a
round sufficient for those tasks. That being said I think that once a
few really rural folks are factored out the answers are pretty similar
for most people.
That being said I think it is important for a single pistol scenario to keep an eye toward concealed carry. A pistol you can't reasonably conceal fails at its primary job, being the gun you can have all the time. Maybe you do not want to carry today but there could be a crime wave or a disaster or whatever that changes your mind.
Now onto specific models.
Personally I recommend the Glock 19 to Craig or pretty much anybody looking for a good all around pistol. In my opinion (and a lot of other much smarter people's) it strikes a great compromise between the shootability and round count of a service sized handgun and the conceal ability of a smaller pistol. Personally I can conceal one easily wearing cargo shorts and a polo or light short sleeved button up shirt. Also they are as (or more) reliable than any competitor and are one of the most common pistols out there which means parts/ mags/ accessories are more available than most if not all competitors. Any place that sells ammo has 9mm and any place that has gun stuff has Glock stuff. Also the Glock offers a lot of gun for your money. You can buy the service pistol which is arguably the standard all others are judged by for somewhere between $ 400-500 bucks. That being said I can see how reasonable people may differ.
It is worth noting that everything I said about the Glock could be said about the Springfield XD or Smith and Wesson MP series. The only exception is that they are slightly less common than Glocks if just because they are fairly new to the market. Due to this they have fewer mags/ parts/ accessories floating around though maybe not enough to matter,.
If you want more power .40 S&W is a good answer. Not necessary but if it makes you happy then rock on. It is a darn good round though a bit more expensive to shoot than 9mm. Also it is snappy or maybe even unpleasant in smaller/ lighter pistols.
Personally I would be inclined to stick with a double stack magazine. Yeah they are thicker but the trade off is a whole bunch more bullets. For reference a Glock 19 holds 15 plus 1 in the pipe while single stack compact 9mm's will usually hold 6 or 7 plus 1. Personally I am not so sure it is a trade off I would be willing to make. Then again you could argue these new subcompact/ compact single stack 9′s (and .40′s) like the Keltech, S&W Shield, Ruger LC9 and (though not new really) various Kahr's are in competition not with double stack compact 9mm's but with subcompact single stack .380′s I would say a 9 beats a .380 any day, especially if the size and weight are close.
As to revolvers for an all around gun I would get a 3″ .357 magnum like a Ruger SP 101 or whatever model S&W is comparable. Snubby revolvers are difficult to shoot well and as such IMO not a good all around choice. On the other end of the spectrum a large framed .357 Magnum like a S&W Model 19 or Ruger GP 100 is a great pistol but probably too big for concealed carry without a coat. While a snubby .357 to carry and a 4 or 6 inch wheel gun for the house/ field is a good combo neither stand alone all that well so we are left with the 3″.
For Craigs specific situation:
Do not get a pocket pistol for your only pistol. A tiny .380 is a great little carry piece to have as part of your battery if you have other pistol(s) to use as a house gun or for other defensive purposes. As a
If a Glock 19 is not a viable option I would look at the Keltech PF 9. Personally I do not have any experience with this pistol but NutnFancy seems to like them which is a pretty solid endorsement. Also since the cost is around $ 250-300 that really helps in the cash area. You could probably get a PF 9, a holster, an extra set of magazines, a couple boxes of 9mm defensive ammo and a few boxes or maybe even 500 rounds of 9mm FMJ to stash away for around $ 500.
The PF 9 is certainly small enough to carry regularly in fairly light summer clothing. They are single stack so the round count is low but there is the trade off to thinness/ concealability. Sure there are probably some downsides but for a new $ 250-300 semi automatic pistol that is to be expected, you can't have everything.
To be honest I am pondering a potential role one might have in my
battery. Though I have to see one side by side with a Glock 19 to really
compare them.
Regardless of the specific pistol I would recommend a corrosion resistant finish for those who will be in and around water, doubly so if it is salt water. This means stainless steel or a tough finish like Tenifer or something comparable. I would not purchase a blued gun, it is just asking for problems.
Anyway those are my thoughts on that. Simply put buy a Glock 19 and everything will be alright. If for whatever foolish reason you decide not to buy a Glock 19 I hope we have hit on some things for you to consider. I think the comments section could get fun.

By Kinley Baker
Genre: Fantasy Romance
Publisher: Crescent Moon Press
When invaders brutally massacred the women and children of the Varner, Caleb witnessed loss and destruction on a scale few can comprehend. As the leader of a race on the brink of extinction, his only hope for survival is gaining acceptance into the Shadow Shifter Kingdom. Struggling with new customs, he meets Tabitha, a woman who challenges his limits.
Refused the right to join the king's guard because of her gender, Tabitha must be stronger than the men to prove she deserves to be the first accepted female Warrior in the kingdom. She believes Caleb will help improve her abilities, until she learns her goals conflict with the foundation of his culture.
When the realm is attacked, Tabitha and Caleb must come together not only to fight, but to find the strength to win against an evil with the potential to destroy everything they revere most--including each other.

So many people were tearing Michael Phelps down–you'd might have thought he was running for president.
He was seen online, around the world, smoking pot and partying. He gained a lot of weight and appeared a bit of a lost soul. He trained hard and lost the weight. Then he performed at such a diminished level early in the 2012 Olympics that many were writing him off.
He overcame his greatest opponent: himself.
Collaboration is the order of the day.
There is no more valuable collaboration than that among generations. Together, they can create breathtaking value, innovation and change.
It is of urgent importance today, as technology connects everyone, enabling extraordinary individual performance and expression. Each generation has much of value to add to the others. Wisdom lies in ascertaining when and what to learn and incorporate.
Meatless Monday.
It's based on a simple, powerful notion that can be applied throughout our life and work.
How do you decide how to communicate with friends and family and people in your business?
Are you serving them in your choices? Or following unexamined habits or customs–and serving yourself?
Several years ago I emerged from several hours of rather mundane labor, having removed and replaced two toilets in my home.
A neighbor, noticing the movement of boxes, came over to view the results. He was complimentary of the work.
His wife, on the other hand, diminished it. She said, "Well it's not really anything….. He enjoys doing it…."
She touched upon something important. Unfortunately, since she did not frame her observation in terms of a question, the underlying issue didn't remain alive through the oxygen of discussion.
In fact, she was only partly right.
She regarded my cast of mind as an accident. In fact it was the result of decisions I was determined to make and carry through. The rather unremarkable work at hand was just an occasion to apply my chosen thought process.
Do you tip hotel housekeepers?
Most people would never neglect to provide a tip for a bellman or restaurant wait staff. Yet many people apparently don't provide for hotel housekeepers.
Surely we can all do better.

Comment Number: | 522418-08770 |
Received: | 7/13/2006 12:55:28 PM |
Organization: | lia sophia |
Commenter: | Mary Van Abel |
State: | WI |
Subject: | Business Opportunity Rule |
Title: | Notice of Proposed Rulemaking |
CFR Citation: | 16 CFR Part 437 |
No Attachments |
Mary Van Abel July 13, 2006 Division Manager, lia sophia To Whom It May Concern: I am writing this letter because I am concerned about the proposed Business Opportunity Rule R511993. I believe that in its present form, it could prevent me from continuing as a lia sophia advisor/manager. I understand that part of the FTC's responsibilities is to protect the public from "unfair and deceptive acts or practices," yet some of the sections in the proposed rule will make it very difficult, if not impossible, for me to sell lia sophia products. I have been a lia sophia advisor/manager for almost 2 years. Originally, I became an advisor in my company because I felt the products were exceptional and I wanted to earn some additional income. I was a stay at home mom for 6 years who gave up a second income to raise my children! Financially, it was a struggle and bills began to pile up. I needed to do something without giving up the flexibility to be there for my children. The lia sophia opportunity gave me both. The business opportunity was presented to me very clearly and precisely. There were no catches or gimmicks and all of what they told me has worked. I remember my very first pay check; $83.78! That was very exciting to me and it has only gotten better since. Now I actually feel as though I contribute to my family both financially, as well as being home with my children and being able to cover all of their needs. I then began to present the opportunity in the same way I had been presented the opportunity because it made such a huge difference in my life. Today, my organization has around 120 women who are experiencing the same freedom, flexibility and income. We have a business plan that works. Women love to share things. Showing someone how to become a successful business owner is not a crime, it is a life changing opportunity! And that what lia sophia does for women-it changes them in more ways than just financially. It has changed so much of me personally and the opportunity to share this and make other women feel more confident, worthy, and successful is something I want to do for the rest of my life!!! One of the most confusing and burdensome sections of the proposed rule is the seven-day waiting period to enroll new lia sophia advisors. Lia sophia's kit only costs $149.00. People buy TVs, cars, and other items that cost much more and they do not have to wait seven days. This waiting period gives the impression that there might be something wrong with the company or the compensation plan. The initial investment to start your own company with lia sophia is minimal compared to franchising or opening a small business! Where can you start up your own company for $149 and expect to make a 6 figure income in THREE years! Also, when I first speak to someone about lia sophia, I will then need to send in many reports and unnecessary paper work to my company headquarters. The proposed rule also calls for the release of any information regarding lawsuits involving misrepresentation, or unfair or deceptive practices. It does not matter if the company was found innocent. Today, anyone or any company can be sued for almost anything. It does not make sense to me that I would have to disclose these lawsuits unless lia sophia is found guilty. Otherwise, lia sophia and I are put at an unfair advantage even though lia sophia has done nothing wrong. Do other professionals have to do this…I have never seen anything like this from my doctor and I know he was sued and his job could actually hurt or kill someone. Finally, the proposed rule requires the disclosure of a minimum of 10 prior purchasers nearest to the prospective purchaser. I am glad to provide references, but in this day of identity theft, I am very uncomfortable giving out the personal information of individuals (without their approval) to strangers. Also, giving away this information could damage the business relationship of the references who may be involved in other companies or businesses including those of competitors. In order to get the list of the 10 prior purchasers, I will need to send the address of the prospective purchaser to lia sophia headquarters and then wait for the list. I also think the following sentence required by the proposed rule will prevent many people from wanting to sign up as a salesperson - "If you buy a business opportunity from the seller, your contact information can be disclosed in the future to other buyers." People are very concerned about their privacy and identity theft. They will be reluctant to share their personal information with individuals they may have never met, as would you and I. I appreciate the work that the FTC does to protect consumers, yet I believe this proposed new rule has many unintended consequences and there are less burdensome alternatives available to achieving your goals. Thank you for your time in considering my comments. Respectfully, Mary Van Abel, Division Manager
