WASHINGTON—Three suspected terrorists at the Guantanamo Bay prison in Cuba hanged themselves with clothing and bed sheets Saturday becoming the first detainees to die at the camp since hundreds were rounded up in America's War on Terror.
The suicides of two Saudi citizens and a Yemeni man are likely to increase international pressure on the Bush administration to close the controversial camp, opened in the wake of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. The deaths come just weeks after a brawl and four attempted suicides at the center, where some have been held without charges for as many as four-and-a-half years.
The three dead men were all being held at Camp 1, the highest maximum security prison at the center, and were participants in a wave of hunger strikes staged to protest conditions at the camp. Military officials said the Yemeni detainee had just ended his long hunger strike.
All three left suicide notes written in Arabic, but military officials refused to divulge their contents, noting that the U.S. Naval Criminal Investigative Service has opened an investigation to determine the cause and manner of death.
The United States is holding about 465 enemy combatants at the remote Navy base in southeast Cuba. Just 10 of them have been charged as alleged war criminals before President Bush's Military Commissions. Bush has rebuffed calls from across the globe to close the camp, saying he's waiting for the Supreme Court to determine whether his military commissions are constitutional.
Last night, President Bush expressed "serious concern" over the deaths and asked his cabinet to take diplomatic steps to assure critics that the matter is being fully investigated, a White House spokeswoman said.
But the commander of prison operations at the camp called the suicides, "not an act of desperation, but an act of asymmetrical warfare waged against us."
"We have men here in Guantanamo who are committed jihadists, al-Qaida and Taliban," said Navy Rear Adm. Harry Harris Jr., in a telephone conference call. "They're continuing to fight against us here. These are dangerous men who will do anything they can to gain support for their cause."
He said the men were in the same cell block but not adjacent to each other, but that the suicides appeared to have been coordinated, noting that the "methods of hanging were similar."
Rumors may have lead them to believe that if three detainees died, the United States would shut down the camp.
"This `three detainees must die' myth is a superstition that runs rampant," Harris said.
Lawyers for some of the detainees, many of whom have embarked on months-long hunger strikes, said many captives have lost their will to live because they have been given indefinite detentions and little access to the courts. The lawyers said their clients have been told they will be held in Guantanamo "forever."
"Nobody should be even slightly surprised by this," said Josh Colangelo Bryan, who represents a detainee who attempted suicide in October 2005. He said one of his clients told him, `I would simply die than live here forever without rights.'"
According to Harris, an "alert' guard noticed one of the men had hung himself in his cell, shortly after midnight. The prisoner was "unresponsive and not breathing'.' He said the guard tried to help the man and guards checked on the other detainees, finding the two others.
Medical teams tried to revive the men, Harris said, but were unsuccessful and the three were pronounced dead by a physician.
The names of the dead were not released, but the State Department was notified and in discussions with the governments of Saudi Arabia and Yemen.
Harris said the three men have not been charged and do not have attorneys, but are classified as "enemy combatants."
"They were enemy combatants, taken off the battlefield to Guantanamo," Harris said.
He classified one of the men as a "mid- to high-level operative in al Qaeda" and said another was part of an uprising in Afghanistan.
"These are dangerous men, not here by accident or happenstance," Harris said.
The camp has come under increasing international criticism and military officials said the remains of the men were "being treated with the utmost respect," and that a cultural advisor was helping officials ensure that the bodies were being "handled in a culturally and religiously appropriate manner."
Harris said the camp has a "fatwa" from a "reputable Imam" that allows it to defer burial if the cause of death is in doubt. According to Islamic tradition, burial should be within 24 hours.
Until today's deaths, there had been no reported deaths among detainees since the Pentagon set up the offshore detention and interrogation center in January 2002.
The closest call was in January 2004 when guards spotted a Saudi captive hanging in his cell, and cut him down. He suffered brain damage and lapsed into a coma for months, but ultimately regained consciousness. He has since been sent back to Saudi Arabia.
In May, military officials said at least 23 detainees had attempted suicide 41 times, including four foreign captives who tried to kill themselves last month_three with drug overdoses, another by hanging. None of the four were seriously hurt.
Today's deaths are likely to rekindle a debate over the future of the camp, which the Bush administration routinely defends as critical to the war on terrorism. British Prime Minister Tony Blair and German Chancellor Angela Merkel, two of Bush's closest European allies, have called for the Guantanamo camp to be closed, as did the United Nations Committee Against Torture.
Critics have accused the camp of using interrogation techniques that could rise to the level of "torture" and of leaving captives behind bars with little access to lawyers or the outside world. Harris said the three detainees had not recently been undergoing any interrogations.
Danish Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen, who has also called on the United States to close the prison, brought up the issue Friday during a meeting with Bush at Camp David, Maryland.
Bush said he wants to see the prison vacant—just not yet.
"We would like to end the Guantanamo—we'd like it to be empty. And we're now in the process of working with countries to repatriate people," Bush said.
But he added: "There are some that, if put out on the streets, would create grave harm to American citizens and other citizens of the world. And, therefore, I believe they ought to be tried in courts here in the United States."
Bush said his administration is waiting for the Supreme Court to rule whether he overstepped his authority in ordering the detainees to be tried by U.S. military tribunals.
Harris said the camp is undergoing a review to ensure there is not a repeat. Among the changes: detainees' bedsheets will be removed in the morning when they wake up. "it obviously removes from the detainees something they are used to living with, but I feel it's required to prevent a reoccurrence," he said.
Just last month, Harris offered the greatest detail of how the military would respond to a detainee death.
Both a pathologist and a Muslim chaplain would be brought in, Harris told The Miami Herald. An autopsy would be done to determine how the captive died, and the chaplain would prepare the dead for Islamic burial.
A delay was anticipated in burial to give the pathologist time. It was not determined in advance whether a dead detainee would be buried at the remote Navy base in southeast Cuba, or be sent home.
During a media visit last month, the Navy captain in charge of the prison camps hospital said he understood that, in the event of a detainee death, the onus would be on the military to "hopefully justify to the world that it was natural causes."

At the all-star break, nine teams in the NBA's tough Western Conference have records better than the Timberwolves, who are 17-17, equaling their victory total of last season. The top eight teams go to the playoffs.
Can the Wolves, at this juncture, dare think about playoffs?
"Interestingly enough, I think (coach Rick Adelman) has put them into a place now that we will be striving to try to get into the playoffs," Wolves owner Glen Taylor said Thursday. "Even though we're 10th, we're just (one game) out of eighth. So that's certainly all achievable if things go well.
"There's no reason for them not to try that and work hard for it. It's going to be tough because there are so many other teams that are so close. But I can't believe that the guys, now that they've seen what they can do in the first half of the season, won't put that as part of their goal."
Taylor said the playoffs would be a "huge upside" for his young team.
"It would mean we've stepped a little bit faster than we anticipated," he said. "We wanted to make a step forward to prepare us for the future, but if somehow we could already get into the playoffs so that we get that type of experience with this young team, I think that sets them up in future years to understand the different dynamics of playoff play."
At the end of warm-ups the other day at Target Center, Wolves rookie Derrick Williams, who has a 40-inch standing vertical jump and will compete in the NBA's slam dunk contest Saturday in Orlando, Fla., did a double-pump reverse slam.
But, he said, that's not what he'll feature in Florida, and he's working on a secret move.
Can he win?
"I wouldn't go if I didn't think I could win," Williams said.
The Kent Hrbek statue outside Gate 14 at Target Field will be unveiled April 14. Hrbek's retired Twins number is 14.
A Twins-brand restaurant, featuring Target Field fare, is expected to open on Concourse C of the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport in April. No name for the restaurant has been chosen yet.
The Twins' opener will be a sellout of about 40,000 tickets. Seats will be available to the general public for the other 80 games when single-game tickets go on sale Saturday.
Timberwolves point guard J.J. Barea, who is listed at 6 feet but seems smaller, zooms around the court like a waterbug. From where does his boundless energy come?
"It's the only way I can be good at this level, to use all my energy," he said.
Barea led the Wolves in scoring with 22 points off the bench in Wednesday night's 100-98 victory over Utah at Target Center. He said he sleeps eight to 10 hours a night. He also requires a nap during the day before a game.
Last weekend, Barea and Zuleyka Rivera celebrated the birth of a baby boy – Sebastian Jose.
Reid Mahon, the former Como Park and Gophers pitcher who spent five-plus seasons in the minor leagues with the Arizona Diamondbacks and reached Class AAA before being released, has signed with the St. Paul Saints as an avenue to get back into organized baseball.
Mahon, 28, whose fastball touched 97 mph in the minors before an injury to his right index finger required total reconstruction a year ago, has the interest of the Twins if he can get back on track. He'll begin workouts with the Saints in May.
"My arm feels good," he said.
Ex-Gophers pitcher Seth Rosin of Mounds View, a rookie in the San Francisco Giants' spring camp, was able to sing the Minnesota Rouser on Thursday at the request of manager Bruce Bochy.
Timberwolves all-star Kevin Love leads the NBA in minutes per game with 39.9. He has played, he said after Wednesday's victory, to exhaustion.
Bloomington Jefferson grad Cole Aldrich played 19 minutes for the Oklahoma City Thunder in Monday's 101-93 victory over New Orleans, blocking two shots with three rebounds and a steal.
Look for the Twins to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of their 2002 Central Division champs at the Target Field opener April 9 against the Los Angeles Angels.
The 2002 Twins featured Torii Hunter, who will be in Minneapolis as a member of the Angels. The Twins also plan to bring back Brad Radke, Joe Mays, Eddie Guardado, Doug Mientkiewicz and Jacque Jones.
Wolves center Nikola Pekovic has averaged 17.2 points and 10.4 rebounds in February. The guy he replaced, Darko Milicic, is averaging 5.1 points and 3.8 rebounds. For the season, Pekovic is averaging 12.5 points and 7.2 rebounds.
Word is Jim Steeg, 62, who is director of the Pacific 12 Conference championship football game, is among prospects for the Gophers' athletics director job.
That guy wearing a Stanley Cup ring in the KSTC-TV (Ch. 45) broadcast booth as analyst for the girls high school hockey tournaments today and Saturday is Mike McGraw, scout for the Boston Bruins.
Owner Glen Taylor, on his Timberwolves having won 17 games in less than half the time it took them to win the same amount last season: "It is kind of a funny number. We've only played 34 games. Now we look back at how many losses we had that a little difference in the free throws, turnovers and a few things like that, and easily we could have had another three, four wins."

GENEVA – A strain of gonorrhea that is resistant to the disease's only remaining treatment, cephalosporin antibiotics, has officials at the World Health Organization warning doctors around the world to step up their efforts to stop the disease.
The U.N. health agency said Wednesday it is urging governments and doctors to increase their surveillance efforts for the antibiotic-resistant bacterial infection that can cause inflammation, infertility, pregnancy complications and, in extreme cases, lead to maternal death. Babies born to mothers with gonorrhea have a 50 percent chance of developing eye infections that may cause blindness.
"This organism has basically been developing resistance against every medication we've thrown at it," said Dr. Manjula Lusti-Narasimhan, a scientist in the WHO's department of sexually transmitted diseases. This includes a group of antibiotics called cephalosporins that are currently considered the last line of treatment.
"In a couple of years it will have become resistant to every treatment option we have available now," she told The Associated Press in an interview ahead of WHO's public announcement on its `global action plan' to combat the disease.

The SHINE Mental Health project is an initiative which offers services for children and parents where mental health issues are already a concern within the family. Specialist help is available for children who have a parent with a mental illness and also for those children showing early signs of mental illness.
With support from the Australian Government, Family Life runs the innovative SHINE Mental Health Project which supports vulnerable children aged 5-18 and their families, who live in the Casey and Greater Dandenong (Victoria) districts.
SHINE focuses on early intervention and prevention and aims to reduce the risk of a child experiencing a mental health problem by helping them to strengthen their resilience and coping skills.
How Family Life SHINE Works
Family Life specialist staff work with whole classes in schools helping children to develop strategies for coping with stressful situations and improve their self-confidence.
Children who display early signs of having a mental health problem, such as anxiety, depression or a conduct disorder receive specialist help at school and with their families.
The Family Life SHINE Project incorporates aspects of the 'FRIENDS For Life' program, a school-based anxiety prevention program.
Benefits of Family Life SHINE
- Early intervention offers a better life for the child
- Prevention through early intervention reduces costs for the community
- Schools receive specialist support
- Families learn new skills for coping when a family member has a mental health problem

-- As noted earlier here on the website, a big angle is planned for tonight's TNA iMPACT! tapings in Orlando set to air next Thursday. The angle will involve Rob Van Dam having to vacate the TNA World Heavyweight Championship and a tournament will take place to crown a new champion. The tournament is set to begin at tonight's tapings and carry over into next month's No Surrender PPV on September 5. The belief at this point is that the storyline involving RVD vacating the title is due to his character suffering injuries from the big beatdown angle that airs this Thursday on Spike.
-- Ring of Honor star Roderick Strong was backstage at yesterday's TNA TV tapings in Orlando, FL. Strong had last worked for TNA in early 2006. He was also part of the first ever TNA match that aired on Spike TV in iMPACT's debut on the network back in October 2005 with AJ Styles.

The first power windows were installed on the Packard 180 series vehicles in the 1940s. It was a hydro-electric system based on the technology for raising and lowering convertible tops.
In 1941, Ford Motor Company installed the first power windows on certain models of its Lincoln series. Cadillac also installed a straight-electric divider window to divide the driver and passenger compartments on the company's series 75 limousines. In 1947, the hydro-electric operated power windows became available on the Fleetwood series. Most modern vehicles have a switch for each window and a set of switches on the driver's side. However, some vehicles, such as Volvo and Saab, have the switches in the center console.

The world-renowned Siren electric string quartet is the industry leader in delivering high end, superbly entertaining and outstanding performances.
The four glamorous girls, all award winning music conservatoire graduates, have combined their classical talents, creative ideas and love of performance to develop a uniquely entertaining stage show a class above the rest!
The four beautiful and sophisticated Sirens are graduates from the world's leading conservatoires, The Royal College of Music and the Royal Academy of Music. They have spent the last 5 years performing together and developing the perfect stage show for any clientele and event.
The girls were the featured quartet on Gnarls Barkley's European tours, performing for 9 weeks in a row on Top of The Pops. They also starred in Mark Ronson's music video for Valerie, recorded on the latest album by The Killers and have been the support act for Girls Aloud, Rod Stewart and Jamelia.
Siren have performed at Wembley Stadium with P Diddy, at the Fuji Rock Festival (Japan), the Montreux Jazz Festival, (Switzerland) and in the USA, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, South Korea and all over Europe and the UK.
The Siren show is filled with well-loved classical crossover numbers but with a surprise twist in the middle!
The show can be tailored to your specific event as there are a number of different options available. These range from the skillfully choreographed, electrifying stage show (audience participation can be as much or as little as you like!) to the beautiful sounds of the classical and jazz background set. Siren will also try and fit in with the colour scheme of your event in some way.
The different musical sets have been honed over time to create the perfect balance between musicality and entertainment.
The stage show is best suited to corporate dinners, awards shows, premieres, private parties and launches. The background set (see playlist) is ideal for drinks receptions, dinners, conferences and private parties.

MONCLOVA TOWNSHIP, OH (Toledo News Now) - A ribbon-cutting ceremony took place Wednesday for Monclova Township's latest development: the Lakes of Monclova new senior living center located on Monclova Road in Monclova Township near Maumee.
The people at Lakes of Monclova say this is filling a need for people in the community and contributing to the economy.
Between $7 million and $8 million went into building the facility. It provides skilled nursing, assisted living and memory care for people in the community.
Once the facility is completely staffed, there will be between 90 and 100 employees working there.
Leaders say they want to give the entire place an upscale hotel feel so they have paid a lot of attention to the common areas and rooms.
Staff have already gotten a few inquiries and look forward to seeing the place operating.
"Basically we looked in the area. We saw there was some demand in the market for skilled nursing beds and also a retirement community. So we really thought it was a great opportunity. Monclova Township is a great area, and we really wanted to be a part of that," said Stephen Apple, Trilogy Health Services divisional vice president.
The Lakes of Monclova will open its doors to anyone interested in viewing the facility Sunday from 1 to 4 p.m.

What is the state of preparedness in the UK
Is it posible for a total meltdown of our society?
A lot of people are now realising we are in a very fragile time of this earths and mans evolution and there is a very real chance of a major shift across our planet.
"What would the government do to help you"? – There are plans in place. Of course there are. But these plans are mainly for local disruptions of the normal, everyday life that we all know. But in a dooms day scenario we are talking about the whole of the United Kingdom being effected.
Yes, it may start locally, but very soon spread to larger areas and then the whole country.You only have to look at how quickly situation escalate to see how easy total collapse would be. A very big proportion of UK citizens are in a state of zero preparedness for ANY situation, let alone a major one.
A fuel dispute brings the nation into blind panic and petrol station are empty within hours – how would you cope if the perol supply was cut of totally.?
A sugar shortage in the shops and the shelves are cleared within a day – imagine if that was food in general, the shops would be totally void of any food.!
Heavy rain, or prolonged snowfall or adverse weather conditions grind the country to a halt again.
And to think, all these are relatively low key situations that require the minimum of preparedness here in the UK.
I am sure the powers that be have some wonderfully secret plans to evacuate high ranking officials and government ministers, and keep nice and safe and fed and warm and looked after – and why not.? After all it's every man for himself and I'm sure they have made dam sure their ok, thank you very much.
Yes, efforts have undoubtedly been made for the masses but, as we have seen in the past, it really is no where enough, it hardly touches the sides of what would really happen.
Possibly the key thing to remember is this – As the situation worsened the people in charge, the fire officers, the servicemen, the police and all other people involved in trying to help would be overwhelmed and simple understaffed and under equipped. Add that to the fact that these people also have families and loved ones that they will be drawn to help their own family – it's human nature. They will not see their own families suffer – that's when the total meltdown will escalate to a law, of no law.
Now all this doom and gloom used to be just pushed to one side, for another day. The 'it wont happen to me' syndrome. But in all honesty, the state of preparedness in the UK for a major, country wide, disaster situation is poor at its best.
It would be a mammoth job to prepare for such a thing and would cost billions of tax payers money to set up for everyone to be accounted for. There's over 60 million people in the UK. You just cant prepare for a major disaster with that number of people in mind.
The United Kingdom is prepared – to a small extent – for localised disaster situations, whether man made or natural disasters, we can cope on a small scale, with some of the finest emergency services in the world to help us, but being prepared for a major event that effects the whole country is quite a different thing altogether.
Whats the answer?
If everyone made time to prepare and was ready with adequate supplies and knowledge we would be half way there. In any major disaster it always boils down to 'every man for himself' and if the government have plans in place to help then there's your other half.
But don't think that the state of preparedness in the UK is going to cover everything. It simply can't. An EMP, whether natural or man made will wipe out our society in a flash and put us back hundreds of years – this, along with other possible scenarios that can effect our whole structure of live as we know it.
So what IS the answer?
It's up to you. Start prepping yourself. Little by little gathering essential items to help keep you and your family alive. Theres nothing weird with being a prepper its just common sense – and, actually quit enjoyable ..!

This item from Richard W. Bell is now in the Shop Backroom.
More from Richard W. Bell
This delightful nude is of wonderful quality & in outstanding condition. She has a lovely proportioned slender body with graceful curves. Her skin tone is comprised of a very soft tinted pink with just a hint of a darker coloration at places like elbows, underarms, knees & hands. Her serene face is done with one stroke black brows, brown eyes with black pupils & black outlines. Her nostrils, lid lines & checks are done with a light coral blush color & her rosebud lips are a deeper coral. Her hair is done in shades of gray with well done line definition depicting flow & curls in her hair style. Her feet have been painted with a lovely shade of periwinkle blue ballet slippers.
Her porcelain is in excellent condition with no flakes, chips, cracks, crazing, missing pieces or repairs. I could only find two things, both of which I feel are original to manufacture. The bottom of her right foot has an abrasion to the glaze. I feel there may have been a bubble after firing & the work master sanded it down. Also her left elbow area has some fine lined tiny spots of gray that are probably an oops from the brush while doing her hair. Porcelain bathing beauties cast as a full and complete figure are much more desirable as well as more costly due to the complex nature of their manufacture. They required more involved molds as well as multiple molds for some body parts like feet, arms, hands & even fingers that were then attached to the figure & fired for a final doll body. Rarity of the pose must also be taken into account.
A lot of the bathing beauties did not have marks. The current reasoning to this is the work masters did not consider them to be an important enough object to mark. Also some countries, like the USA, accepted attached paper or foil labels which at this point are long gone. Our beauty is marked on her butt with the D & K bishops staff or scepter mark - I've seen it called both. There is also a "B" which we are assuming is the artist mark. Per author Sharon Hope Weintraub, who kindly answered a few questions for me, our D & K beauty is pictured in a 1911 D & K catalog on a wood base. She is also pictured in Ms. Weintraub's 2nd. book "Bawdy Bisques and Naughty Novelties: German Bathing Beauties and Their Risqué Kin". D & K dolls are considered the finest and most collectable ever made.
Our bathing beauty is very difficult to measure due to her fixed body position. But with her butt flat on my desk she measures in a straight line approx. 7 3/4' long from the tip of her toe to the point of her left elbow (highest point in this position). Her widest point is thru her elbows being 3 1/2" wide. A lovely doll in a rare action pose in superb condition for your collection.

In 2015
your website needs to be treated as part of your sales team.
Your website should be measured by how many sales or sales leads it generates every month, rather than what you're 10 friends think about its look and feel. Your sales team is measured by its results, activity, proposals, conversion rates and profitability of your deals.
Why should your website be any different?
Tip 1. // Website Performance Audit – Start & Commit to Measuring
Use Google Analytics to review your website performance compared to the last year in the following areas:
- A) Compare unique visitors in 2013/ 2014
- B) Compare traffic sources – direct, google paid, google organic, social
- C) Compare mobile devices
- D) Compare location
- E) Compare number of people to your most important product pages
- F) Compare number of people to your conversion pages – thank you, or contact us
Using a Google Analytrics tool like Dashboard can be very helpful in analysing these areas.
Tip 2. // Improve your website conversion rate
The average site only converts 3% of its traffic into sales opportunities. Your business can potentially grow by 33% by just improving your website performance by 1%. Make website conversion a top priority this year.
Improve your website conversion this year by knowing the keywords or type of audience which are converting, get more traffic from this source and invest in landing pages to improve your website conversion.
Tip 3. // Invest in mobile website conversion
Everyone is using mobile devices to search the Internet in 2015. Your mobile traffic is going through the roof. Start treating mobile as a separate sales channel. Create mobile landing pages, support click to call conversion and you will start winning more business from customers ready to buy. We have created many mobile pages for our clients, a sample of these sites can be found on our mobile website page.
Now that you have decided what your conversion is, you can start to measure it by seeing how many visitors it takes before a conversion is triggered. This is known as your conversion rate. It is achieved by dividing the number of conversions by the number of visitors during a period of time.

Guillermo is Afraid
Guillermo del Toro is teaming up with Miramax to produce a remake of the 1973 made-for-TV film DON'T BE AFRAID OF THE DARK. Troy Nixey, a comic artist-writer who frequently collaborates with Mike Mignola (a frequent collaborator with del Toro), will make his directorial debut with the film. The original story followed a married couple who move into an inherited Victorian mansion. Once there they accidentally unleash demonish creatures who terrorize them during their stay. Del Toro's vision is expected to instead focus on a young girl sent to live with her father and his girlfriend. Del Toro will take a hand in helping create some of the freaky creatures in the film and is writing the script along with Matthew Robbins (MIMIC). It is to note that the film is in the very early stages and could be in development for some time (especially with del Toro busy with all that HOBBITness). AFRAID would be the first horror film for the revamped Miramax, which has centered on more dramatic, Oscar-y fare.
|Extra Tidbit:
|The original film premiered on ABC in October of 1973.

The average family of four has a refrigerator that offers between 18 and 25 cubic feet of storage space. Larger families often think about getting a bigger unit, while a couple that's just starting out may prefer a standard-sized refrigerator.
In addition to family size, some other lifestyle variables often contribute to the decision about which refrigerator to purchase. For example, if a couple has no children but likes to host large dinner parties that offer multiple courses, then a larger refrigerator might be the right choice for them. On the other hand, a large family that eats dinners out three or four nights a week might not need or want as much storage space and may prefer a standard unit. Personal preferences about style and the layout of the kitchen also play a role.
Usually, the dimensions in which a family has to fit a refrigerator play a significant role. If the existing cabinetry only permits a refrigerator of a particular size or height, a large unit may not be an option. Most refrigerators vary between 30 and 36 inches in width, so measuring the available space before heading to the appliance store is a wise step, regardless of family size.

The anaesthetic case portfolio you wish you always had. Chronic pain relief for log book users. Caseleaf mobile is the native iPhone / iPad version of the popular website caseleaf.com.

*The Caseleaf App uses a monthly auto-renewing subscription, that will automatically renew until canceled.*
Because clinicians can't always get to a computer.
Let's face it, the computer you have easiest access to is your smart phone. Plus, the hospitals you work in don't always have good internet access. So we built Caseleaf mobile. Add your cases offline, in the operating room, then sync with our cloud based web server once you get back online. Syncing is pretty simple. From your list of cases, simply drag the list down to show the sync interface. Follow the instructions and all your cases will be backed up into the cloud. You can do this over 3G/4G or Wifi. Fast, simple, concise and mobile. Nothing more.
Multiple devices.
You can install caseleaf on multiple devices. If you are lucky enough to own them, you can have caseleaf on your web browser, iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. In fact as many devices as you need. Once you have registered the first time, just install the app on another device and select 'Sign In'. Enter your registered user name and password and all your cases will be automatically sync'd to your device. Change on one device, sync to the cloud and you'll find all your changes make their way to all your devices. Neat.
Entering cases should be simple, fast and to the point.
Our cases can be created in under 30 seconds because we bake in a little cleverness. Just click the big 'Create Case' button on the home screen, or the '+' button on the Cases screen. Caseleaf intelligently works out the types of operation you undertake and defaults data when you create the next one. No need to re enter the same information repeatedly. As you evolve, Caseleaf follows. We designed this feature after noticing that most of you perform lists of similar operations. Little features that make a big difference. You'll notice that mandatory data fields are marked in red and if you save with some of this missing, you will see a warning at the top of the screen. But don't worry, just complete the missing information and save again. Done.
Caseleaf's focus is on providing you with simple, effective case management. Nothing more, nothing less.
Caseleaf Subscriptions available:
A 1-month subscription to Caseleaf is £1.99 ($2.99), this will automatically renew until canceled.

Bangkok: China has been busy building military infrastructure in the South China Sea while the United States and its key allies, including Australia, have been distracted by the North Korean nuclear crisis.
New satellite images show China's military has built high frequency radar and other facilities on islands it occupies, even as Beijing was signalling its willingness to pursue protracted negotiations on a "code of conduct" with other claimants to the flashpoint waters.

The Washington-based Asia Maritime Transparency Initiative, which closely tracks developments in the South China Sea, said China has been constructing hangers, underground storage bunkers, missile shelters, radar arrays and domes and other facilities that cover 28 hectares.
The revelation comes as China's naval chief Shen Jinlong told his Australian counterpart, Vice Admiral Tim Barrett that Canberra's actions in the South China Sea run counter to the general trend of peace and stability in one of the world's most important shipping lanes.

"This does not accord with the consensus reached by the leaders of the two countries nor the atmosphere of the forward steps in cooperation in all areas between the two countries," Jinlong said during a meeting in Beijing.
Australia has flown surveillance flights over the South China Sea and supports US patrols near the Chinese-held islands to assert what Washington sees as right to free passage in international waters.
Earlier this week, before the release of the images, US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson called for a "freeze" in China's island building and said it was unacceptable to continue their militarisation.
Pentagon spokesman Christopher Logan said he could not comment in detail on the images but that "further militarisation of outposts will only serve to raise tensions and create greater distrust among claimants."

The US has conducted multiple patrols near the Chinese-held islands this year to assert what it sees as right to free passage in international waters.
But analysts say the Trump administration has yet to implement a coherent strategy on the dispute after initially suggesting the US might deny Chinese access to the islands.
Extraordinary building works on Fiery Cross Reef in the Spratly Islands

China's latest construction follows land reclamation that was completed in early 2016 in part of the sea known as the Spratlys, an island chain where Malaysia, Taiwan, the Philippines, Vietnam and Brunei have completing claims.
The US claims China has built-up 1248 hectares of land on seven islands over nearly a decade but at accelerated speed since 2014.

Most of the construction has been on Fiery Cross Reef where there is a 3000-metre airstrip, underground structures likely intended to house munitions and other military infrastructure.
At the end of October, China released images of jet fighter planes and military transport planes at Woody Island in the Paracels, another part of the disputed waters.
The Asia Maritime Transparency Initiative says work on Fiery Cross reef in the Spratly Islands includes naval, air, radar and defensive facilities.
Photo: CSIS/AMTI
The island is China's military and administrative headquarters.
The latest construction includes two large radar towers on Triton Island in the Paracels that has been the scene of tense stand-offs between Chinese and Vietnamese ships in recent months.
Greg Poling, director of the Asia Maritime Transparency Initiative, said China seized a diplomatic opening after the election last year of Philippine president Rodrigo Duterte, who adopted a conciliatory stance toward Beijing over the territorial dispute, and as the US was preoccupied with North Korea and trade disputes with China.
"It's gotten off the front pages but we shouldn't confuse that with a softening in China's pursuit of its goals," Mr Poling said.
"They are continuing all the construction they want," he said.
The dispute has caused deep anxiety within Australia's defence and diplomatic circles.
Australia opposes any build-up of the islands and their militarisation and has publicly called for China to pursue a "rules based order" and "peaceful solution" to the disputes.
China lashed Australia over its recent foreign policy White Paper, saying language used on the South China Sea was "irresponsible."
"Australia is not a party to the South China Sea issue," Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Lu Kang said at the time.
The South China Sea is one of the world's most important shipping lanes.
After attack threat, China warns Taiwan not to depend on foreigners
More than half of Australia's coal, iron ore and LNG exports pass through the waters

Jessica Berson on Exotic Dancing Podcast
You likely don't know much about exotic dancing or dance studies. Reading guest Jessica Berson's <>The Naked Result: How Exotic Dance Became Big Business will fix that.
She came on to discuss her book, what goes on in private dances as well as on stage, and a lot more. Click below to hear the personal, the business, the history, and surprising (to me) analysis of the meanings of the dancing. We also spoke about how dancers and customers interact and what they get from each other.
She teaches dance studies at Yale and has at other august institutions. She is professorial type and dancer, one who got the most out of her year on stage and in front of single clients. Her book ended up at once academic and highly readable, concentrated on exotic dancing, but from its many angles. While it has personal vignettes, it is not yet another stripper memoir as Berson is quick to note.

Non Stop
On March 25th 2009 at 15:43:12 Local Time (11:43:12 GMT) Mohsin made history to become the first Arab to sail non-stop around the world, as Musandam crossed the finish line in Muscat in under 80 days.
The elapsed time is 76 days, 1 hour, 12 minutes and 42 seconds.
"This is an incredible achievement for Mohsin who a year ago had never stepped on board an offshore racing multihull before and now he is the first Arab to circumnavigate the globe. Mohsin and the entire Musandam crew are to be congratulated." said Dame Ellen MacArthur who previously set a new world record in the same boat when it sailed under the colours of B&Q/Castorama. As well as Mohsin, Musandam was crewed by an international crew of Skipper Loik Gallon (FR), Thierry Duprey Du Vorsent (FR), Charles Darbyshire (UK) and Nick Houchin (UK).

Former Public Protector Thuli Madonsela says those who have been mentioned in the leaked Gupta emails need to be held to account for the role they played in the capture of the state.
The Gupta leaks have provided more evidence of a relationship with many people in government and the Gupta family.— Advocate Thuli Madonsela, Former Public Protector
She says the leaked emails have revealed even more allegations since her State Of Capture report last year.
Madonsela advises that more dubious financial transactions have been revealed in the Gupta Leaks, providing tangible evidence to allegations made in her report.
She argues that elements of the state appear to have been hijacked and re-purposed, primarily in state-owned enterprises (SOEs).
According to Madonsela, there has been no moment of accountability since the emails were exposed.
She slammed the Hawks for not taking action to investigate the emails, but instead investigating whistleblowers of corruption.
Institutions such as the Hawks had an opportunity to investigate after the Public Protector report and now after these emails came out.— Advocate Thuli Madonsela, Former Public Protector
We are not seeing action from the Hawks, but we do see action from them against those who are seen to be standing in the way of looting.— Advocate Thuli Madonsela, Former Public Protector
She expected that Parliament would have asked all those implicated to provide sworn affidavit indicating the extent of truth in the emails.
Madonsela proposes that Parliament should ask government officials to provide email data over the period that the Gupta leaks span.
I've been shocked about the lack of accountability since the emails were made public.— Advocate Thuli Madonsela, Former Public Protector
These emails provide prima facie evidence. All that's needed is for the people who are implicated to say yes and no. When they say no, they must provide their own records.— Advocate Thuli Madonsela, Former Public Protector
Madonsela makes the comparison of how other countries responded to allegations made in the Panama Papers

Adam Lambert has revealed that it was a host of music legends helped inspire the glam look on the cover of his upcoming album, "For Your Entertainment."
"I've loved David Bowie since I was a kid [and] artists like Michael Jackson, Prince [and] Mick Jagger," Adam told Access Hollywood's Tony Potts at the Los Angeles premiere of "This Is It" on Tuesday night. "There's a lot of male rock stars in history that have kind of played with androgyny and I [am] just fascinated by that look so I wanted to do something like that for the album cover."
As previously reported on AccessHollywood.com, Adam unveiled the cover on his official Web site on Tuesday. The image shows the "American Idol" Season 8 runner-up with colorful make up and a leather-gloved hand cradling his face.
Beyond simply the cover, Adam said he is thrilled to be releasing the effort – his first official album of post-"American Idol" material – on November 23 via 19 Recordings/RCA, but he told Tony he only just finished picking the songs.
"I'm so excited," Adam said. "We just came up with the final track listing [on Monday] — made our final selection on songs. It's all happening… I can't believe it. I'm so lucky."
And the raven-haired singer from San Diego is still singing the praises of the show that gave him an opportunity to reach out to millions each week earlier this year. Adam said the next step, however, is standing on his own two feet.
"'American Idol' is the most amazing opportunity for an artist… It's a platform, it's an opportunity. You compete well on the show and then you have the chance at a record deal and it helps launch your career," Adam raved. "I wouldn't be anywhere without that show, but now that the show is over… you kind of have to pull out the reigns and do your thing. Now it's up to me to just try to keep entertaining people and hopefully keep everybody's interest."
Adam attended last night's "This Is It" premiere with a date – his pal and fellow singer Katy Perry – but before heading in he told Tony he hoped to really understand Michael better as a performer by watching the nearly two-hour movie.
"I just want to get a glimpse of his creative process," Adam said. "I've always been a Michael Jackson fan, but part of what made him so alluring is that he was kind of mysterious. [You] didn't get to see behind the scenes that much, with the exception of that 'Thriller' behind the scenes documentary which I was obsessed with as a kid."
And with "This Is It" finally hitting theaters today, Adam said what he'll miss most about the entertainer is his artistry.
"[I'll miss] his individuality and [the] freedom that he had in expressing himself," Adam said. "There's nobody like him. There hasn't been since, there wasn't before. He was his own unique brand of entertainer and I respect and admire how original and individual that was."

Salmonella typhi is the species of bacteria that causes typhoid fever, describes the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Salmonella typhi is not usually found in industrialized regions, but it is fairly common in areas of Asia, Africa and South America.
The symptoms of typhoid fever include a high fever, weakness, stomach pains and headache, according to the CDC. Treatment for the disease can be a tablet or an injection. There are also vaccinations that prevent the contraction of typhoid fever for a few years, and the CDC recommends that travelers receive these vaccinations at least a week or two before traveling to less industrialized parts of the world.
Salmonella typhi cannot live outside of a human host, explains the CDC. Transmission of the bacteria most often occurs when sharing food or drinks with someone carrying the disease. It can also be contracted by drinking water that has been contaminated with sewage.
Typhoid fever can be fatal if complications occur, states the CDC. Fatalities normally only occur if the strain is resistant to antibiotics. Even when the symptoms have stopped, the disease could still be transmitted to others. Doctors can test stool samples to determine if the bacteria are still present.

Hello again. On the official Doctor Who website, an episode information section called the Fourth Dimension has been receiving some attention. It has been doing so because some secret messages have been posted within the paragraphs. For four weeks, there have been messages that appeared to be like a conversation. This 'conversation' looks like it might be between Madam Kovarian (Eye Patch Lady) and the Doctor.
The messages are as follows:
1. All the secrets you seek can be found here on the Webb.
2. We found your message! You're alive but what secrets d'you mean my friend?
3. I mean I glimpsed him! And may the gods help him or maybe you can.
4. To see what I saw click on the spot beyond the Doctor's home planet.
After the word Gallifrey on the last paragraph, the full stop is a link. If you click on it, you see a video entitled Analysis Lessons which shows the Doctor in some sort of ship. the quality is bad and it is difficult to hear. The link is below as well as the dialogue.
Hello, hello, if you can hear this, please listen to me, it's about time and how very little of it I have left. What happens next depends on you.Also, 'Analysis Lessons' is a clever anagram for: Lonely Assassins. The Lonely Assassins is the nickname the Doctor gives a fearsome foe, the Weeping Angels. So, will the Weeping Angels return? One of the Dream Lord's 41 hints was: the horror of Bangkok. Bangkok translates directly to 'City of the Angels'. However, the Lonely Assassins could mean anything; it does not have to mean the Weeping Angels exactly although that is a major possibility. A while ago, one producer was interviewed and when asked about the Weeping Angel's return, his answer was ambiguous, something along the lines of:
"Maybe, maybe not."
So it is a great possibility that the Angels will return. The tenth episode of the series is being hidden and the plot line is extremely confidential - could that be the episode which involves the Weeping Angels?
Finally, the messages speak to each other in some way, but they also talk about the Doctor. They wouldn't say 'the Doctor's home planet' if the Doctor was replying. Therefore, the conversation might actually be like this:
So? What do you think? Post your theories, ideas and general thoughts in the comment box below.

The Shakespearean-named duo Those Pretty Wrongs comprises the Freewheelers' Luther Russell and Jody Stephens, the former drummer and sole surviving founding member of Big Star. We've already heard the A-side to their debut 7″ on Burger Records, the lovely acoustic sigh "Lucky Guy," and now they're sharing B-side "Fool Of Myself." The song captures the perpetual cycle of reignited hope and embarrassment that comes with harboring a crush on a friend, but it never dips into maudlin lovelorn anguish territory, always buoyed up an infectiously jaunty chorus. The awesomely crunchy power-pop guitar doesn't hurt either, and neither does a punchy piano line or the welcome late addition of some rock 'n' roll organ. Do yourself a favor and listen below.
"Lucky Guy" b/w "Fool Of Myself" is out now on Burger Records. You can purchase it here.

SAFARI fruit and nuts is the number one South African healthy snack since 1908. Eighty years later (1988) the first HALF MARATHON was sponsored by SAFARI because we support a healthier South Africa. We know that exercise and a good eating plan are the building blocks for a fulfilling life style. Thank you to all who made the 2017 Half marathon a truly memorable occasion. The feedback was overwhelming and we realised that we not only continue with this winning recipe for the whole family but to make it better.
Trusted by our parents and grandparents, it is still the snack of choice that satisfies any sweet craving without the guilt. Firstly it is tasty and by the way healthy as well!
The SAFARI TO GO fruit and nut mixes fits the modern life style perfectly. Pack it into any bag and it is available wherever or whenever you need to refuel. The 6 combinations offers variety – so try them all: Orchard mix and Tropical Twist do not contain any nuts. The Carnival craze, Fruit Medley, Forest Feast and Berry mix all blend fruit and nuts for the lunch box! We offer a wide variety - they will surely not get bored.
We all know that natural dried fruit supplies us with the energy we need, and who needs energy more during a long school day?
Anyone who had to battle with uneaten fresh fruit that made a mess in a school case or hand bag will understand how convenient SAFARI FRUIT & NUTS snacks are - truly the number one healthy snack endorsed by GIFSA (Glyseamic Index Foundation)
Nothing but fruit and a whole lot of feel-good attitude. No more, no less!
It all started 40 years ago when Liqui Fruit burst onto the juice scene as the first ever long shelf life fruit juice. South Africans couldn't get enough of it! Our juice captured the vitality of our culture with bright colours, fresh packaging and a delicious all-fruit taste. We sourced the juiciest, sweetest and most replenishing fruit from local farms to offer home-grown goodness on-the-go or at home.
Today, when it comes to fruit juice, Liqui Fruit is first on everyone's lips. Our unwavering promise of quality has won over millions of South Africans. In a beverage market that is more and more competitive with every sip, we continue to be the juice on the shelf everyone reaches for first.

Conferences captured LIVE by Radio Immaculata at the SPUC Youth Conference March 2017
Fiorella Nash -A Path worth walking - Life, Liberty and the Rise of Pro-Life Feminism
Novelist and activist Fiorella Nash discusses feminism, the state of the pro-life movement in UK, and the empowering practice of NFP. Fiorella Nash gives a perceptive insight into the changes which have taken place in Britain over the past 50 years with regards to feminism and the Pro-Life Movement in the UK. Nash specifically looks at the use of language and the way language has changed in order to justify the heinous crime of abortion in a false sense of feminism. Nash then goes on to speak about feminism in its truest sense - how for one to be pro-woman, one must also then be pro-life; because the abortion industry provides the biggest attack and threat on women the world has ever seen. From her own experience, Nash then describes how the epitome of womanhood is found in motherhood; thus, the only movement which "embraces and celebrates the dignity of women" is a pro-life feminist movement, which truly recognises the sanctity of life and the equal dignity of men and women despite their different - yet complementary gifts.
Dr Tony Levatino - From Pro-Choice to Pro-Life
Dr. Tony Levatino - an ex-pro-choice and ex-abortion provider gives a powerful testimony describing his journey from being an abortion provider who killed 1,200 unborn children in his private abortion clinic to becoming a pro-life speaker and activist. Dr. Levatino describes in essence his indifference towards the great moral evil of abortion, he felt he was just providing another service to women in his private practice. He also describes his (and the abortion industries) drive for money as the main factor as to why abortion as an agenda is pushed so strongly. However, this all changed when Dr. Levatino's 6-year-old adopted daughter died in his arms after a road accident. His conscience began to bother him; he returned to his private clinic to continue providing abortions but this became increasingly difficult for him because he eventually realised that no matter the size of a child, each child has value and it is wrong to kill such a child. He then became involved with the pro-life movement (without any initial intention to do so) and now speaks out against the horrors of abortion. Although Dr. Leavtino admits he doesn't feel he can ever make up for the death of those 1,200 babies, he testifies to the great power of God and the great power of prayer as a powerful means for conversion, healing and forgiveness.
Alexandra Tompson - ADF The problem with screening for Down's Syndrome
Alexandra Tompson, Legal Analyst and Veritas Scholar at ADF International, reflects on the issue of Down's syndrome screening. Alexandra Tompson serves ADF International as legal analyst and Veritas Scholar in Vienna, Austria. In her role, Tompson promotes religious freedom, sanctity of life, and marriage and the family, while supporting the EU team in Brussels, the Council of Europe team in Strasbourg, and the United Nations team in Geneva. Prior to joining ADF International, Tompson worked as an external relations officer for the Jerome Lejeune Foundation in Paris, France, where she advocated for the right to life, specifically of the unborn screened with Downs Syndrome. About 750 babies are born each year with Downs Syndrome in the UK, and there are an estimated 40,000 people living with the condition. Those with Downs Syndrome today lead fulfilling, meaningful and valuable lives, and yet in Britain today - a 'screening out' programme is being adopted where mothers are pressured to undergo pre-natal testing on their unborn children to test for Downs Syndrome which usually results in the death of unborn children with Downs Syndrome via abortion. One can see here the similarities between the Nazi regime where those who were of 'non-Aryan origin' where forced into abortions in order to eradicate them; just as those with Downs Syndrome are trying to be eradicated today. Tompson, discusses all of these points in her conference talk, along with an in-depth investigation into non-invasive testing, the right to life of all under international law and a refutation of the arguments in favour of pre-natal testing for diseases.
Dr. Anthony McCarthy - Gender Theory, a threat to a Pro-Life Ethic
Dr. McCarthy, the Education Director of SPUC and Doctor of Philosophy (in the field of sexual ethics and the Natural Moral Law) speaks about the nature of man and how misconceptions about the nature of man leads to the immoralities promoted by gender theory such as so-called "transgenderism" and homosexuality, also how the same misconceptions of man lead to abortion and an anti-life culture. Dr. McCarthy's talk condemns the notion of man being a "ghost in the machine" and shows how man's identity consist of both body and soul – meaning the body is part of who we are and should not be seen as an object which can be: 1) used for selfish pleasure, 2) mutilated, 3) disposed of. He also speaks about how the "family is the foundation of justice" and so society should be orientated to support the traditional idea of the family and the God-given roles of men and women to accord with the natural order.
Dr. Patrica Morgan - All Our Discontents, the Family under fire
Dr. Patricia Morgan speaks about the attacks 'the family' and marriage have undergone over the past century. Dr. Morgan describes how from the late 1800's with so-called 'freedom thinkers' such as Marx and Freud - the traditional idea of the family and monogamous marriage has been under constant attack. Dr. Morgan gives a striking insight into the false ideologies and the subtle yet manipulative and divisive tactics of those over the years who have waged war on the family and marriage and tried to promote mass promiscuity, sexual immorality and anti-family principles in order to push the anti-life agenda. She then goes on to speak of the advantageous effects of natural, 2-parent families on the upbringing of children which would contribute to creating a well ordered society. Finally, she makes the point that morality is not dictated by the culture, but is a fixed law which transcends times and cultures.
Dr. Joseph Meaney - Facts few people know about the Culture of Life and the Culture of Death
Dr. Joseph Meaney, a cradle Catholic and pro-lifer gives testimony to the power of individual and collective pro-life witness in combatting the culture of death and bringing about a restoration of the culture of life. Dr. Meaney encourages us not just to fight to make abortion illegal, but to make abortion unthinkable. He outlines the contrast between the love of the pro-life movement and the hatred/anger of the anti-life movement which actually brought about the conversion of Norma McCorvey (Jane Roe of 'Roe v. Wade') who became a Roman Catholic and pro-life activist. Dr. Meaney describes how abortion truly is the human right issue of our time and how we must all have the courage to stand up and witness against it – for it is truly is the difference between life and death. He argues that we must also put an end to the notion that those who promote abortion are 1) 'pro-choice' - because the #1 reason given by women for having an abortion is that they felt they had no choice, and 2) 'pro-women' – because sex-selective abortions are the greatest attack on women as they results in an increase of prostitution and female abuse.

VaporFi needs little introduction if you are familiar with the former powerhouse brand named VaporZone. This company was inspired by one of the leaders of the vapor cigarette industry, International Vapor Group, who also created the Eversmoke Brand, as well as South Beach Smoke electronic cigarettes.
They clearly saw where this industry was headed with mini cig (cigalike) users looking for a more powerful device with an added DIY element, and so this brand focuses on more powerful eGo style batteries, tank systems and custom vaping liquids.
Check 'em out: http://vaporfi.com
They are my top pick for the best electronic cigarette brand AND e-liquids of 2014!
One Stop Shop
Whatever you are looking for in the world of vaping, VaporFi has you covered.
Looking for a basic starter electronic cigarette kit to see if this is even something for you? Look no further than the Express Kit.
You can get this with standard pre-filled cartridges, which are essentially the flavor, such as menthol, or tobacco, as well as a couple other cool flavors, such as chocolate or vanilla. This option will be very low maintenance – essentially charge it, put the cartridge on and go.
Though if you want more options, they have you covered here as well. You can get refillable cartridges, and add your own e-juice; and now you enter the world of VaporFi's flavors, where you literally have thousands, if not tens of thousands of different flavor combinations to choose from, most likely every flavor you can imagine.
After that, they also have their mini-clearomizers, essentially mini-tanks, if you're familiar with those. These are super cool, as you can see through the clearomizer, and know how much e-liquid is left, so you know exactly when to refill it.
eGo Style e-Cigs and Tank Systems
If you're looking for a more powerful device, or an advanced vaporizer with variable voltage, VaporFi has this area expertly covered, with precision!
You can select from the Air, a couple versions of the Pro, The Pulse and The Rebel, each of these hits on every angle of more powerful vaporizers, from one that fits in the palm of your hand, up to one that has all sorts of features to select from.
Vaporfi Starter Kits: Still 5 Good Choices
Vaporfi sells more types of e cigs than any other e cig company. The Halo brand, Apollo Cigs, and even Volcano ECigs create options, but there is not as much variety among their hardware as you find among the 5 choices of e cigs at Vaporfi. You will discover the Express, three types of Pro packages, Air, Pulse, and Rebel e cigs. Their Jet e cig is still around but is not sold as a starter kit anymore. Its place was filled quickly by first a second then a third Pro starter kit.
This is a $30 bundle featuring two batteries (180 mAh and 280 mAh), a USB charger, wall adapter, but not cartomizers. It works with pre-filled cartomizers or blank cartomizers one fills with e liquid.
While this missing juice seems strange when every other company sells starter kits with cartomizers or blanks and bottles of e liquid, additional hardware makes up for that.
They cut out the one-battery, USB package and go straight for a two-battery, full charging-kit bundle. Five blank cartos cost 7.99 and pre-filled ones in boxes of 5 (or a 30-ml bottle of liquid) cost $14.99.
They have some nice educational videos on their YouTube channel, like this one for The Express:
Of all the Vaporfi starter kits, this is the one that intrigues me most. It is a compromise package featuring extra power while maintaining a low profile.
A similar kit sold at South Beach Smoke by the same name is cylindrical and steel-colored; this one comes in black or white and forms a thin ellipse. Enjoy 350 mAh of power: several hours, more than an Express, but not as much as a Pro. It's a tiny device: worth having if you value discretion.
Pro E Cigs at Vaporfi
Choose a black, colored, or platinum Pro in a bundle for as little as $49.99. You've got two sizes of battery to choose from and two sizes of clearomizer. Actually, the Pro is compatible with several clearomizers by Vaporfi. This is slim, lovely, and possesses the power for a day of vaping or more.
Pulse Bundle
A Pulse e cig is that kind of device you set up on the table just so people ask you about it so you can talk about its merits. An LED screen reports the power of your battery. Besides the wireless, circular charger (which acts as a base as well), a $119.99 kit for the Pulse contains the usual chargers and two 650-mAh batteries.
The Rebel from Vaporfi costs $179.99, but that pays for a few things. You get a mod unit (a tube into which you insert a 600-mAh or 2200-mAh battery), two batteries, a 3-ml tank, and a charger. This is one of the most talked-about Vaporfi products because it is beautiful, powerful, and easy to use.
Some of the clients who have bought this item were stunned by how simple it was in spite of their limited vaping experience, but Vaporfi recommends this be purchased by experienced vapers. Several models of clearomizers and tanks are compatible with the Rebel.
Vaporfi Starter Kits Online and In Person
As Vapor Zone becomes Vaporfi, many new Vaporfi stores are about to open their doors. Their timing is excellent. Others will be busy exchanging signs but these new ones can enter the market at roughly the same time as their brand new name.
Vaporfi starter kits will be available at many of the new and old locations as well as online. The great thing is that Vaporfi is spreading outwards from Florida into the Carolinas, Wyoming, Missouri, and more. Call ahead to be sure a starter kit you have on your shopping list is at the store you will be visiting rather than walking away disappointed.
