Product Details
LED HALO Rings (a.k.a. SMD lights) are available for ultra-bright output that can be seen during the day and night. LEDs are also the only technology that can be controlled by a wide range of awesome remote control systems, including wireless, sound activated, and programmable lighting solutions. Lastly, Oracle's advanced LED technology is now available in dual-color and ColorSHIFT models. With multiple color lights, the 1le flip of a switch allows you to easily change between street legal colors like white and non-street legal colors (laws vary by state; check with your local law enforcement for details about your area). Remote controls also provide for super cool lighting and color changing effects like strobing, fading, breathing, and more. LED Halo Rings last considerably longer than the obsolete CCFL Halo Rings did - a major plus! On the downside, LEDs are individual bulbs so the overall look is not a smooth, continuous glow like the older CCFL technology produced, but luckily Plasma is here for those that prefer Oracle's™ old school look.
LED lights are designed to operate on direct current at a very low voltage. The LED driver corrects the input voltage and protects the LEDs from both current and voltage fluctuations. On the previous model SMD Halos the voltage was adjusted through resistors mounted on the back of the circuit board. If a resistor failed it would cause that segment of LEDs to turn off. By removing the resistors from the circuit board and developing a constant current external driver specific to this application we achieved several advantages over the previous model.
- Increased Reliability- By conditioning the power going into the LEDs, this prevents degradation which can shorten the overall lifespan of the product.
- Wider Input Voltage- Old SMD rings were designed to strictly work with a 12V system. Voltage spikes could cause damage to the LEDs or failure. The new SMD Halos can operate on a very wide voltage range.
- Ease of Installation- With the resistors no longer on the back of the circuit board, there is more surface area contact between the PCB and the headlight mounting surge.
- Brighter/ More Even Light- by moving the heat load of the resistors off of the PCB we are able to increase the number of LEDs on the circuit board without thermal issues. This means a brighter and more even light.
- Easy to Replace- Although uncommon, if there is ever a case where a LED driver needs to be replaced you can easily unplug it from the ring and replace without having to open the headlight.
- Also Known As: LED Halo

President Obama Declares 2014 a 'Year of Action' in State of the Union Address
Declaring 2014 a "year of action" as he unveiled a series of relatively meager executive actions, President Barack Obama vowed in his State of the Union address Tuesday night to sidestep Congress "whenever and wherever" he can in order to push through his agenda.
Obama told lawmakers he's still willing to work with Congress, but will take the necessary steps to reduce the wage gap between rich and poor. Specifically, the president focused on the need to boost middle class while improving economic mobility.
"He pressed Congress to revive a stalled immigration overhaul, pass an across-the-board increase in the federal minimum wage and expand access to early childhood education — all ideas that gained little traction after he proposed them last year. The president's one new legislation proposal calls for expanding an income tax credit for workers without children," the Associated Press reported.
In his hour-long address, Obama vowed to flex his political powers in an effort to Obama promised to flex his power to accomplish tasks that gained little traction after they were initially proposed a year ago. The president said he will continue to push for an across-the-board increase in the federal minimum wage and to revival an immigration overhaul that has been stalled.
"When people come here to fulfill their dreams – to study, invent, and contribute to our culture – they make our country a more attractive place for businesses to locate and create jobs for everyone. So let's get immigration reform done this year," Obama said
He also spoke of the need to expand access to early childhood education programs. As for new legislation, the president called for expanding an income tax credit for workers without children.
"What I offer tonight is a set of concrete, practical proposals to speed up growth, strengthen the middle class, and build new ladders of opportunity into the middle class," Obama said Tuesday night. "Some require congressional action, and I'm eager to work with all of you. But America does not stand still – and neither will I. So wherever and whenever I can take steps without legislation to expand opportunity for more American families, that's what I'm going to do."
Briefly addressing the situation in the Middle East, Obama pointed out that when he took office, nearly 180,000 Americans were serving in Iraq and Afghanistan.
"Today, all our troops are out of Iraq. More than 60,000 of our troops have already come home from Afghanistan. With Afghan forces now in the lead for their own security, our troops have moved to a support role.Together with our allies, we will complete our mission there by the end of this year, and America's longest war will finally be over," Obama said.
Obama's speech came as he sought to re-energize his second term as his approval rating dips and the Democratic Party faces the possibility of losing control of the Senate following the next general election in November. The president lost ground with the start of the Affordable Care Act and subsequent issues with the program's website. This term will give Obama his best chance to push through his agenda.

NCSF was asked by thge DSM Paraphilias subworkgroup to respond to their proposed changes to the DSM's consensual paraphilias. This is our letter to the editor of the Archives of Sexual Behavior that was published on July 15, 2010.
Depathologizing Consensual Sexual Sadism, Sexual Masochism, Transvestic Fetishism, and Fetishism
[Letter to the editor]

Depathologizing Consensual Sexual Sadism, Sexual Masochism, Transvestic Fetishism, and Fetishism
[Letter to the Editor]
The DSM-V Paraphilias Subworkgroup's suggested revision to differentiate between paraphilias and Paraphilic Disorders appears to be a step forward in depathologizing unusual sexual interests. Paraphilia diagnoses are regularly misused in criminal and civil proceedings as an indication that individuals cannot control their behavior; these individuals turn for assistance to the National Coalition for Sexual Freedom (NCSF), a national advocacy organization that advances the rights of, and advocates for consenting adults in the BDSM-leather-fetish, swing, and polyamory communities.
One recent child custody case referred to NCSF illustrates the common misunderstanding that legal and social service professionals have with the DSM-IV-TR, and is the first documented reaction to the proposal to differentiate between paraphilias and Paraphilic Disorders. The children were removed in July 2009 while psychological evaluations were performed on the mother and the children, which concluded there was no mental illness.[1} However the case worker with the Department of Social Services Children's Division in the Midwestern state where this case occurred sent the following January 21, 2010 letter to the mother's court appointed psychologist: (DSS, 2010):
"With regards to [mother's] alternative lifestyle; can she separate this from her parenting? There has been some questions arise from other team members regarding her sexual sadism. These are as follows:
"We were made aware at the last FST meeting that while all parties involved have seen the information provided regarding [mother's] blog and website, no action has been taken to determine how it affects the children or is factored into the stated case goal of reunification with [mother]. The following information is relevant:
A. Sexual Sadism is considered a form of paraphilia in accordance with the DSM-IV-TR.
B. [Mother] admitted in court on March 9, 2009 that she was a "domme" – slang for a female sexual sadist.
C. Sexual Sadism involves inflicting pain and suffering on another individual in order to achieve sexual arousal." …
"Sexual sadism on the web has the following information: 'The essential feature of sexual sadism is a feeling of sexual excitement resulting from administering pain, suffering or humiliation on another person. In extreme cases, sexual sadism can lead to serious injury or death for the other person. According to the DSM these catastrophic results are more likely when the paraphilia is diagnosed as severe, and when it is associated with antisocial personality disorder.[2] They may experience distressed or impaired functioning because of the sadistic behaviors or fantasies. This distress and impairment may be due to the fact that the partner is not consenting. The diagnosis of sexual sadism is complicated by several factors, beginning with the fact that most persons with the disorder do not voluntarily enter therapy.'"
"[Mother] indicated she gave up this lifestyle in March. However the blog and stories that were found were posted to her website in May. There are concerns that she is still a moderator of the [BDSM] yahoo group. I have attached pages from her website in hopes that you can explore with [mother] her current involvement with this alternative lifestyle."
The CPS letter concludes with the recommendation that: "Even though [mother] is complying with attendance in therapy, we feel the above issues need to be explored and addressed."
At the final permanency hearing in February, 2010 the mother's lawyer submitted to the judge the proposed revisions for the DSM-V to separate the paraphilias from Paraphilic Disorders, resulting in a court determination to re-evaluate her entire case. The judge specifically chastised the Department of Social Services for not being aware of the proposed changes for the DSM-V. Based on the proposed revisions, in March the mother was awarded custody of three of the children, with the father retaining custody of one child in order to take advantage of his health care coverage.
As this example shows, when individuals who practice BDSM are brought to the attention of authorities, they are regularly misdiagnosed with a mental disorder. In 2009, NCSF was asked for help by 132 people regarding child custody/divorce issues directly involving their alternative sexual practices (NCSF, 2009). The year before, a total of 157 individuals contacted NCSF for help with child custody/divorce issues (NCSF, 2008). In total, almost 500 people each year request help from NCSF because of discrimination or persecution due to their alternative sexual practices.
Therefore the implications of "ascertaining a paraphilia" and "diagnosing a paraphilic disorder" are critical to depathologizing consensual paraphilias. I am concerned that if sexual sadism receives its own diagnosis code separate from Sexual Sadism Disorder, social services and legal professions will continue to think that anyone who practices consensual sexual sadism (or sexual masochism, fetishism and transvestic fetishism) therefore has a mental disorder.
The consensual paraphilias should be mentioned as the healthy comparison to a Paraphilic Disorder, much like various sexual behaviors are referred to in the proposed Hypersexual Disorder. Cybersex and masturbation don't have separate diagnosis codes in the DSM, and it is equally erroneous to assign separate codes for the paraphilias when they are not mental disorders or of clinical concern. For the same reason, the consensual paraphilias shouldn't be listed among the V-Codes.
Separating sexual behaviors (paraphilias) from the mental disorders (Paraphilic Disorders) is the first step in depathologizing consensual alternative sex. The second step is defining what exactly constitutes clinically significant distress. NCSF often consults with individuals who suffer distress and impairment in their social and occupational lives (ie. interpersonal difficulties) because their desires conflict with current societal standards. These standards stem in a large part from the DSM itself: pathologizing unusual sexual interests has led to increased discrimination and discouraged individuals from seeking treatment for physical and mental health problems (Wright, 2008).
A distinction must be made in the DSM-V between distress imposed by societal stigma, and distress that is generated internally. As seen in the above referenced child custody case, mental health professionals are not the only ones who consult the DSM. When attorneys, judges, and social workers read the diagnoses in the DSM, they see "distressed or impaired" as the determiner of mental illness. Without a comprehensible definition, they look at the individual who is on trial or in a child custody battle, and that individual certainly appears distressed. They even speculate that if the individual gave up their BDSM practices, then their life wouldn't be in disarray, so clearly they must be suffering a mental disorder because their sexual behaviors are obligatory or "obsessive" (DSS, 2010).
Therefore the current list by which distress and impairment are diagnosed must be rejected: 1) are obligatory, 2) result in sexual dysfunction, 3) require participation of nonconsenting individuals, 4) lead to legal complications, or 5) interfere in social relationships. Legal complications and interpersonal difficulties are common consequences of the stigma and discrimination against BDSM practices. In the Second National Survey of Violence & Discrimination Against Sexual Minorities, a total of 1,146 (37.5%) of the respondents indicated that they had either been discriminated against or had experienced some form of harassment or violence (Wright, 2008). As a result, 60% of the 3,000 respondents are not "out" about their BDSM interests; the stress of being closeted and/or coming out promotes distress and impairment in these individuals, similar to that experienced by homosexuals.
In addition, once a Paraphilic Disorder is diagnosed, can it ever be in remission? If so, what are the mechanisms for determining that? If the distress and impairment are resolved, does the individual go back to the ascertainment category? As of now, once a mental disorder is diagnosed, it appears to apply for the lifetime of the individual.
Finally, it must be made clear that Paraphilic Disorders are extremely rare. In particular, the descriptive text for Sexual Sadism Disorder needs to clearly state that it is limited to forensic populations, and, as Krueger (2009) states, "virtually all of the published papers using DSM criteria for Sexual Sadism have been done on studies of forensic populations." This will help prevent the conflation of those who practice consensual paraphilias with those who have a Paraphilic Disorder.

Guns & Ammo editor quits after column triggers outrage
It was a magazine column designed to generate a discussion of gun rights.
"Way too many gun owners still seem to believe that any regulation of the right to keep and bear arms is an infringement," the column said. "The fact is, all constitutional rights are regulated, always have been, all need to be."
Titled "Let's Talk Limits," the column was published in the December issue of Guns & Ammo, the well-known magazine based in Florida, and written by longtime contributing editor Dick Metcalf.
And it enraged readers.
Over the last few days, opposition to Metcalf's stance reached a boiling point. On Wednesday, the magazine's editor, Jim Bequette, posted an online letter of apology that addressed Guns & Ammo readers and announced that both he and Metcalf would no longer be working at the magazine.
Although he had been planning to step down Jan. 1, Bequette announced he would resign immediately, hastened by the outcry.
In his apology, Bequette wrote that he had thought the column would "generate a healthy exchange of ideas on gun rights."
"I miscalculated, pure and simple. I was wrong, and ask for your forgiveness."
In the column, Metcalf makes the argument that there is a difference between infringing on rights, and regulating them. All constitutional rights, including those guaranteed by the 2nd Amendment, are regulated to some degree, he wrote.
"Freedom of speech is regulated. You cannot falsely and deliberately shout, 'Fire!' in a crowded theater. Freedom of religion is regulated. A church cannot practice human sacrifice. Freedom of assembly is regulated. People who don't like you can't gather an 'anti-you' demonstration on your front lawn without your permission."
Readers immediately went to the magazine's Facebook page to vent their anger:
"Good bye to your mag Thanks to Metcalf and his article!"
"I will not be buying Guns & Ammo anymore. Mr. Metcalf's editorial could have been summed up as, 'I am from an anti-gun state. I don't know what freedom means.' I will not support a gun magazine that publishes talking points from the Brady Campaign."
"I've cancelled my subscription and I'm NEVER coming back, and I have been a reader since 1964 and a subscriber since 1970. It is unconscionable for a GUN magazine to publish this kind of dribble that Metcalf spread!"
Bequette yielded to that anger, writing in his apology, "Dick Metcalf has had a long and distinguished career as a gun writer, but his association with Guns & Ammo has officially ended."
A response from Metcalf was posted on the website The Outdoor Wire:
"If a respected editor can be forced to resign and a controversial writer's voice be shut down by a one-sided social-media and Internet outcry, virtually overnight, simply because they dared to open a discussion or ask questions about a politically sensitive issue ... then I fear for the future of our industry, and for our Cause.
"Do not 2nd Amendment adherents also believe in Freedom of Speech?"
Bequette, in his letter of apology, said that Metcalf's views directly opposed the tradition of what the magazine supports, and clearly conflicted with the readers' ideas also.
"Our commitment to the Second Amendment is unwavering. It has been so since the beginning. Historically, our tradition in supporting the Second Amendment has been unflinching. No strings attached."
"In publishing Metcalf's column, I was untrue to that tradition, and for that I apologize. His views do not represent mine - nor, most important, Guns & Ammo's either."
"I understand what you believe in when it comes to gun rights, and I believe the same thing," he wrote.
Many expressed sharply differing reactions to Bequette's letter on Twitter:
You knew Guns & Ammo was going to back down to the gun nuts & fire Dick Metcalf, but kudos to him for speaking truth to the insane asylum.
- Hussain Rahim (@HuRa) November 7, 2013
Dick Metcalf needs to remember who his audience is when writing in Guns & Ammo. #2A

My name is Andrea Cicchetti, and I'm an hydraulic engineer living and working in Rimini-Italy. My current position is Technical Director in a governmental company (web site www.bonificaromagna.it), and I am directing a unit of about 60 persons working on projects that go from hydraulic constructions to plants and urban drainage.

Due to my age of 66 I guess I cannot apply for this job. But this does not prevent me from feeling a strong drive to contribute (as a consultant or otherwise)to realizing the WBG's legitimately ambitious goals. High time, not only to set them but to pursue them vigorously; think of the need to increase food production by 70% and to keep the climate change induced temperature increase to no more than 2 degrees by 2050. We are all in the same boat now, hopefully not that of Noah. I am a former EU Commission Director for Rural Development and a senior agricultural expert with over 40 years of experience. Please look at my profile on LinkedIn and give me a call if you feel there is a job I can do. Thanks.
Every problem and challenge in this world finds a solution to get entangled into deeper problems. To solve this never ending circle of applied confusion, technology can be path-breaking to simplify complicated grass-roots issues. Technology has propelled many man-made marvels of wonder to every orbit that is out there and if it has not, it surely will in the coming decade. The same technology needs more caring hearts to apply their minds and use the Big T's potential to de-couple social issues from political games and bring its raw edge to finesse healing and redressal. As a technology proponent blessed with avid experience in bringing technology solutions to grass-roots and empirical community development initiatives, I look forward to an hearing where I could collaborate with the best of the social policy evangelists and work on programs with a T-transformation outlook. Human relations are the key, technology is a vital tool. Let's engage the right tools to build enduing relationships. My LinkedIn Porfile: www.linkedin.com/pub/mohsin-syed/1b/30/161/

The term "beta-glucan" refers to a class of soluble fibers found in many plant sources. The best documented use of beta-glucan involves improving heart health; the evidence for benefit is strong enough that the FDA has allowed a "heart healthy" label claim for food products containing substantial amounts of beta-glucan. 1 Much weaker evidence supports the potential use of certain beta-glucan products for modifying the activity of the immune system.
Beta-glucan is not an essential nutrient. It is found in whole grains (especially oats, wheat, and barley) and fungi such as baker's yeast, Coriolus versicolor , and the medicinal mushrooms maitake and reishi .
Different food sources contain differing amounts of the various chemical constituents collectively called beta-glucan. Grains primarily contain beta-1,3-glucan and beta-1,4-glucan. Fungal sources contain a mixture of beta-1,3-glucan and beta-1,6-glucan. Purified products containing only the 1,3 form are also available.
Therapeutic Uses
A substantial, if not entirely consistent, body of evidence indicates that beta-glucan, or foods containing it (especially oats), can modestly improve cholesterol profile . 2-11, 35 The most reliable benefits have been seen regarding levels of total cholesterol and LDL ("bad") cholesterol. Modest improvements of up to 10% have been seen in studies. Possible improvements in HDL ("good") cholesterol have only been seen inconsistently. It is thought that beta-glucan reduces cholesterol levels by increasing excretion of cholesterol from the digestive tract. This affects two forms of cholesterol: cholesterol from food, and, more importantly, cholesterol from the blood "recycled" by the liver through the intestines. However, virtually all studies involved oats and were conducted by manufacturers of oat products; independent confirmation remains minimal. 36
Beta-glucan may also modestly improve blood pressure levels , 12,13 though not all studies agree. 14
In addition, beta-glucan may help limit the rise in blood sugar that occurs after a meal. This could, in theory, offer heart-healthy benefits, especially in people with diabetes. 15-19
The other primary proposed use of beta-glucan products involves effects on the immune system. Test-tube , animal , and a few controlled studies in humans suggest that beta-glucans can alter various measurements of immune function. In the alternative medicine literature, these effects are commonly summarized as indicating that beta-glucan is an "immune stimulant." This description, however, is an oversimplification. The immune system is extraordinarily complicated and, as yet, incompletely understood. At the current level of scientific understanding it is not possible to characterize the effects of beta-glucan more specifically than to say that it has "immunomodulatory" actions, or that it is a "biological response modifier." These intentionally unsensational terms indicate that we merely know beta-glucan affects (modulates) immune function, not that it improves immune function.
Some of the immune-related effects seen in studies include alterations in the activity of certain white blood cells and changes in the levels or actions of substances, called cytokines, that modulate immune function.
Based on these largely theoretical findings, as well a small number of very preliminary human trials, 29-31 various beta-glucan products have been advocated for the treatment of conditions as diverse as allergic rhinitis , cancer , infections, and sepsis (overwhelming infection following major trauma, illness, or surgery). However, the evidence for actual clinical benefit remains highly preliminary.
One study failed to find that beta-1,3-glucan (in topical gel form) helpful for treatment of actinic keratosis, a form of sun-induced precancerous changes seen in aging skin . 32 Another study found that it had no significant effect on periodontal disease (gingivitis), an inflammation of the gums caused by bacteria found in dental plaques. 37
Therapeutic Dosages
For improving total and LDL cholesterol, studies have found benefit with beta-glucan at doses ranging from 3 to 15 grams daily. However, benefits have been seen more consistently at the higher end of this range, and one carefully designed study found no benefit at 3 grams daily. 33
Beta-glucan products can contain molecules of various average lengths (molecular weight). Some manufacturers claim superior benefits with either high or low molecular weight versions. However, one study failed to find any difference between high molecular weight and low molecular weight beta-glucan for normalizing cholesterol and blood sugar levels. 34
Safety Issues
Beta-glucan, as a substance widely present in foods, is thought to have a high margin of safety. However, if it really does activate the immune system, harmful effects are at least theoretically possible in people with conditions where the immune system is overactive. These include multiple sclerosis , lupus , rheumatoid arthritis , asthma , inflammatory bowel disease , and hundreds of others conditions. In addition, people taking immunosuppressant drugs following organ transplantation surgery could, in theory, increase their risk of organ rejection. However, there are no reports as yet to indicate that any of these hypothetical problems have actually occurred. Maximum safe doses in young children, pregnant or nursing women, or people with severe liver or kidney disease have not been established.

Hi Mary,
Nice business concept -- I was thinking about ways to make it successful: you need to find a purpose/a reason for your customers to buy the things you offer. Drop me a line or two if you'd like to discuss more.
Good luck with everything!

I forgot to mention that I adopt rescued animals. I have two black labs who are brother & sister. I rescued two cockatoo's never owned a bird in my life and never thought I wanted them. And Sandi my farm cat that I rescued after my friend threw her back outside when she knocked something off a shelf.

Here is some great info I came across on the TSA blog. I received a email from one of our Patients so I went seeking information and here's what I found.
For those who don't know, Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) machines are respirators that are commonly used to treat sleep apneaand as you can imagine, they are extremely important to the people who need them.
Our officers are very familiar with CPAP machines and see them numerous times daily. I wouldn't suggest placing your CPAP machine in your checked baggage, because if your baggage is misplaced, you'll be without your machine.
So here is how it all goes down. The CPAP machine will need to come out of its case and be placed in a bin prior to being sent through the X-ray, but the facemask and tubing can remain in the case. We realize the X-rays bins aren't exactly sterile, so if you like, you can place your CPAP machine in a clear plastic bag before you put it in the bin. After your CPAP machine is X-rayed, it may need to undergo an Explosive Trace Detection test where a small white swab will be run over your machine and then analyzed for trace amounts of explosives.
If your CPAP machine needs an ETD test, you can request that gloves be changed and a new swab be used.
Why the special treatment? As we've discussed before (here & here ), when we can't get a clear X-ray image of an item, we have to take a closer look. There are certain parts of the CPAP machines that are difficult to see on the X-ray.
I hope this helps. Safe travels!

MERLIN, Ore. (AP) — Laid off since May, Riley Gunn was driving his wife and three kids to their one-room cabin when he stopped to buy corndogs — a guilty pleasure they normally don't indulge.
Gunn also got some lottery tickets, even though money was tight and he knew his wife wouldn't approve.
He felt sure he would win — and he did. His $16 investment brought a $1 million prize.
Later, when the 34-year-old Gunn learned of his good fortune, he woke his wife, Misti, to make sure he wasn't imagining it.
She jumped out of bed, saying, "'You'd better not be kidding me,'" Riley Gunn said, standing in the Lil' Pantry Market & Deli, where he bought the winning ticket. "I said, 'Does that seem like something I would do?'"
Misti Gunn, 32, said she didn't laugh, cry or scream. All she could do was sit in a chair, staring into space.
The Gunns had to borrow money from a friend to make the 200-mile drive to Oregon Lottery headquarters to pick up their check.
Sitting in the parking lot, waiting for the office to open "was the longest 10 minutes in our lives," Riley Gunn said.
Gunn bought the ticket while the family was on their way back to their cabin in the woods in Southern Oregon after he registered for computer programming classes.
He had been a project manager for a telecommunications company in Reno, Nev., when he got laid off in May. Misti Gunn had been a customer service representative for a software contractor.
When it became too expensive to live in Reno, his sister offered to let them live in a one-room cabin with a woodstove for heat outside Wolf Creek.
Before buying the lottery tickets, the family had driven to Grants Pass to register for winter term classes at Rogue Community College to work toward their degrees — his in computer programming, hers in business management.
The kids were "getting rambunctious" on the drive home and Gunn said he pulled off to buy corn dogs and pizza pockets at a deli he liked in the little community of Merlin.
"I just kind of figured this was the kind of place you read about winning the lottery," he said. "It's a small town and you never know."
They deposited the $670,000 — their winnings after taxes — in a bank, then wrote a check for 10 percent of that amount as their regular tithe payment to their church.
"You give back to God what he is giving to you," Gunn said.
Then they went to a car lot and bought a pair of brand new Jeeps — a Grand Cherokee for her, a Rubicon for him.
"It was overwhelming to go to a car lot and be able to pick a car, any car, that you wanted," Misti Gunn said.
They also bid on a house in Redding, Calif., where they lived before Reno.
Gunn said he plans to use the rest of the money to start his own business developing ideas he has long had for software and renewable energy.
"It's going to change my life," Misti Gunn said, fighting back tears. "Living off nothing is just very hard."

You can cut corners when it comes to office paper. Office envelopes can be made of just about anything. But if you use flimsy office paper and office envelopes, your clients and partners will know it. Very quickly, you'll find it's not worth the savings it brings. Fortunately, you don't have to settle for lower quality in order to save money on paper. Not when you can order cases of high quality, 20 lb. weight, 92 brightness paper from Sam's Club in letter or legal size for far less than you would normally expect to pay. Buy in bulk and save even more.
If you're afraid we don't have the right kind of paper for your office needs, you probably haven't looked at our catalog. We've got copy paper, multipurpose paper, laser paper, inkjet paper, resume paper, even colored paper and photo paper. If there's a type of stationery your office uses, we've almost certainly got it, at the best prices you're likely to find.
So don't let your paper supplies get too low, and don't pay a fortune or cut corners when you don't have to. Fill all your office paper needs at Sam's Club today, and have great paper on hand whenever you need it without worrying about putting a strain on that office budget.
