Expertise: East Asian theater; study abroad and language education; gender studies
Dr. Weinstein is an authority on East Asian theater, particularly the modern and contemporary performing arts of mainland China and Taiwan. His dissertation research focused on modern Chinese comic drama, and he has directed a number of the plays from that study. In 1997-98, he received a Fulbright grant for study in Taiwan, an experience that has led to ongoing research on Taiwan theater. His publications have appeared in the journals Asian Theater Journal, Theater Journal, China Information, and Chinese Literature: Essays, Articles, Reviews, online with Modern Chinese Literature and Culture, and in the recent volume Contested Modernities. Besides his work on Asian theater, he is also dedicated to developing new American plays and musicals; in 2003 he co-wrote and directed Remember the Women at Washington's National Theater. A member of the Association for Asian Performance since 1998, he has been an officer for six years and was elected president in 2006. He is also active in the Association for Theater in Higher Education. Through AAP, ATHE, and other organizations, he has given numerous conference presentations, on topics ranging from multilingualism in Taiwan theater to homosexuality in Chinese literature and film. He has also presented on early college education, drawing from his work at both Simon's Rock and Bard High School Early College, where he taught Chinese and theater in that school's inaugural year. In 2006, the Simon's Rock senior class awarded him the Dr. John A. Glover Award. AB, summa cum laude, phi beta kappa, Harvard College, MA, MPhil, PhD, Columbia University.

my fav This is my favorite dress in my closet. Its so flattering and im a curvy girl. I bought a size 6 and its not too short. The tag says machine wash cold, yeah dont do that. Take it to the cleaner. March 1, 2014
Love this style I love the a-line style of the dress. Really figure flattering, top fits TTS. The dress isn't too short (I'm 5'4"). I'm a little curvier at the bottom, so the a-line cut is perfect. Loved it so much I also bought it in the dot! February 9, 2014
Loved at First Sight but Yeah Right I loved this dress when I first saw it. Have a "cocktail" theme wedding coming up so I ordered online, an 8 which is what always fits me at Express. When the dress came in, I couldn't get both zippers #side and front# to both zip. If you have boobs, this dress will NOT work for you!! In order to get the dress to fit right in all the other areas, the size to fit your boobs, won't work. I even tried on a size 10 in the store and it was still too tight in the boob area. So, very cute but only fits females with flat chest. February 6, 2014
New Favorite Dress Tried this dress in a 0 and 2. While the 0 flattered my tiny frame better (5'1-127lbs), the 2 was more accommodating to my curves and extra winter "fluff". I like dresses that are really form fitting, this is not, however it is very elegant and classy. For work I will pair with a blazer or light cardigan. NOTE: If you have a bigger bust, you will most likely not be able to zip the dress all the way up if you stay true-to-size. The dress also fits best half zipped only. Did not earn 5 stars only because I did go up a size. February 2, 2014
Cute, but cut really small I have been so disappointed with the cut of Express dresses lately, especially in the bust area. I feel like they are really trying to cut down on cost and therefore sizing, unfortunately. I usually am a 6-8 in dresses, but the 8 was way too small in the bust. I'm a 36DD and I couldn't even zip the dress up over the bust. It's super cute and soft but wish it wasn't cut so small... January 26, 2014

Accommodation and facilities:
Good, friendly service from staff in restaurant but disappointing not Thais. Food tasty but often too much chilli even after requesting that it should not be spicy. Great breakfast buffet! Lady on reception desk made no effort to be warm or friendly on our arrival. No beach private or otherwise, only snorkelling around rocks. Free shuttle only 3 times day, and none in late afternoon/evening. Steep hill to climb from restaurant/viewpoint to reception and then again to cheaper rooms. Not for the elderly or infirm or those who struggle to walk uphill.
Reservation service:
Straight-forward, no problems.

My husband and I had a wonderful time at Dusit Bancha despite the steep climb to our hotel room after breakfast, dinner or chilling out at the pool. I guess it s good exercise and build up to a hearty meal. I do feel that the breakfast offered was not sufficient from a choice point of view - it was very basic and limited. There should be more of an option from different breads, pastaries, cheeses etc to choose from. The staff were amazing. I can t recall the head waiters name, he is a real asset to Dusit and assist us greatly. Well done and keep up the great work. One last observation is the shuttle service into town - we felt that a return trip from town to the hotel should also be offered. The hotel is well out and getting from town to the hotel troublesome as you need to find a taxi etc which is extra costs that you didn t really budget for. it would also be great if you could hire a long tail boat or kayak directly from Dusit but unfortunately none of these facilities were there so once again you need to get into town to hire these and arrange for taxi back to the hotel again. The hotel on the other hand is very nice for people who want to relax and enjoy the sounds of the sea.

A beautiful remote resort. You can find here and there inefficiencies but the good service covers them and make your stay relaxing. Cottage is nice but somewhat simple. Sea by the hotel is a fine snorkeling area- no need to go to other places to find various fish and corals

We booked Paradise Seaside Villa for 4 nights because we were told that s the only room availalbe for that period. However, I certainly noticed quite a few empty villas on the hillside (above our villa) through out our stay. I think either hotel or the booking agent-Sawadee is trying to make us to stay most expensive room during busiest season so that they can charge highest price in the year! My reservation condition was that I need to have a separate living room to put in a bed for our adult child. Sawadee agent sent me more than 1 emails to confirm it. However, when we got there, a thin foam matrass was put next to our beds without a mosqito net in the main room. The so called living room was marely a 3-4 sqm area with 3 sides of glass door/windows! Very misleading in the hotel/agent s desription to the least! The food is one of the worst I ever had in Thailand hotels (particularly in a place you paid US$380/night!). We could not stand the compulsory New Year dinner and only stayed for 40 minutes while the staffs seem to enjoyed more than the guests. I also agree with other reviewers, this hotel certainly is not for other with bad knees or old aged. Not good for the family with small children either. There are so much mosquitos in the room. We had to request an extra mosquito net for the 3rd bed on the 3rd night after hundred bits left on our daughter s body!

Accommodation and facilities:
The hotel is located beside the shore, you can easily go swimming or snorkel there, but, the water is not very clean, just okay. The design is traditional thai architecture and traditional many ants. Don t bring any sweets there, or you ll wake up in the ant troop. The staffs were friendly there. And food is just so so. But what we could require to a free breakfast? Swimming pool is too small, when you jump and turn around it s the end of the pool. Sunbath there is a good choice. it will take 15mins to go to the center of the town by motorcycle. a bit far.
Reservation service:
good service.

Dusit Buncha Resort is the Resort on Koh Tao that uses a solar cell system for almost all the bungalows to save electricity.

Asian garden statues are a welcome addition to most backyards. Whether the yard already has garden fairies or classic Greek statuary on display, Asian decor can provide a peaceful, enchanting touch that reminds us of the need for tranquility in our lives. While quiet and peaceful depictions of a meditating Buddha are a common and fitting aspect of Asian gardens, Asian-themed decor also includes dramatic pieces like ornate and beautifully detailed bronze dragons. Some Buddha statues are also meant to inspire laughter and add a light-hearted touch to the garden.
One such easy-going Buddha sculpture is The Laughing Maitreya Buddha Statue. This jolly Buddha is all smiles as he contently sits and waits to hand out candy to lucky children. Rub his belly for good fortune and let his laughing face wash away your worries.
Another delightful, laughing statue comes in the form of a sculpture of Shou Xin Gong, the Chinese God of Longevity. Wise Shou Xin Gong expresses his happiness with an open smile as he offers the peach of immortality, a fruit said to bloom once every 3,000 years. This is the fruit that made the mischievous Monkey King immortal after he stole one and took a few bites. Shou Xin Gou holds the staff of longevity in his other hand and is said to grant a long life to those who put statues of him on display.

We did the inevitable recently. We took the kids to Disney World in Orlando, Florida. They're at just the right age… old enough to go on all the roller coasters, young enough to think it's the greatest place on the planet. By the end of the trip, and hitting a park a day (Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, Epcot and Hollywood Studios), we were wiped out. We also had a mountain of dirty laundry, so it was time to come home.
As we went through the parks, I was amazed to see so many toddlers and babies. When our kids were that age I think I was too tired to have enjoyed the trip. But maybe I should just embraced the exhaustion. In fact, the Disney parks seem designed with new parents in mind. Well located bathrooms, plenty of benches and food at every turn. But it's not just that. The parks also have designated Baby Care Centers. I have a Flickr album with photos from each of the parks that you might want to look at.
You can of course breastfeed anywhere you'd like in the parks. But if you're looking for a quiet, designated space, with soft lighting, the Baby Care Centers are a good choice. Some of the rooms even have signs welcoming breastfeeding moms. The only thing I didn't entirely like, was that the Disney website indicates that the Baby Care Centers are sponsored by Carnation formula. This information isn't anywhere in the parks. Nevertheless, as with just about everything Disney, you'll find what you need at the Baby Care Centers, and move on to the next adventure.
As for the kids, they only have one question of course… when can we go back?!
Disclosure: Disney gave me some tickets for park entrance.

End Of The Diva's
by, 07-20-2012 at 10:14 PM (6393 Views)
What is up everybody? So this isn't a normal Uncooked Blog or WBC blog, this is a blog based on a thought I've been having recently. I know this may or may not get some heat from others on the site, but I thought I had a valid thought, and wanted to see what others think. The other day I got into a discussion with a fellow blogger over the diva's division, but more specifically, Kharma. Here is the blog.
Now, while having this discussion with the blogger, the understanding I took from him was that he saw Kharma as WWE's answer to changing the Diva's division around and getting it back on track. I could be wrong on that, but that's how I took his comments. Anyways, I don't think that is the case, as I don't think 1 single female wrestler could turn things around. That got me to thinking about the Diva's division. See, I became a wrestling fan in 2002. A time when there was Trish Stratus, Lita, Molly Holly, Victoria, and others. A time when the women's division was interesting. There were real feuds that mattered. When they had a title that meant something. Since then, things have gone down hill. Just take a look.
Women On the Roster
There are only a handful of women on the roster who can actually wrestle. Even then, they don't put on 5 star matches that we get with male wrestlers. In recent years, the best we've gotten is a 3..maybe 4 star match from the women. Even then, those have been scarce.
The Championship
Look at the championship, the Diva's Championship. People want to make fun of the tag titles, look at this freaking belt. We are talking about women who are suppose to be able to kick from ass and make names for themselves, and the champ is stuck with this fru fru belt? Really?
Since the start of 2012, name some feuds involving Diva's for me. Tamina vs Beth? Layla vs Beth? Those are the ONLY two that come to mind, and those don't sparkle. They were dull at best. Remember when feuds between the champ and challenger in the women's division was interesting? Remember the first ever womens steel cage match with Lita and Victoria?
Match Quality
The quality of the matches, which I touched on previously, just stinks. To me its a mixture of pairing women who can't wrestle with women who can, giving them a minute to 5 minutes and saying "Go out there, do some moves, shake your ass and boobs, and make everyone happy". When in this year have we gotten a 3 star Diva's match? I can't name any. At best I can name 2 star matches. Add on to that, getting throw away matches on PPV's. I remember reading comments from others saying "And the diva's came on, so I knew i had 2 minutes to take a piss, or I had 3 minutes to go get something to eat". I know when I see a throwaway match on the PPV involving the Diva's I instantly think..."And they couldn't have given us something better?"
The whole topic of this blog, is the end of the diva's division. Look at AJ. Since being embroiled in this Punk/Bryan/Kane feud(s), we haven't seen much wrestling from her, but she has been interesting. Look at Stacy Kiebler. She was involved with the Dudleys, Hurricane, Test, Steiner. She didn't always wrestle, but we got a lot of her and she was decent. I think the Diva's division needs to go away. Have the women be valets, or involved in storylines in other ways. Give it a year or two where they develop true stars in women down in FCW/NXT, and then call them up, and revitalize the division with true wrestling. Because frankly at this point, I don't see this Division becoming anything more than a joke that it is already.

A CD-R (Compact Disc-Recordable) is a variation of the Compact Disc invented by Philips and Sony. CD-R is a Write Once Read Many (WORM) optical medium (though the whole disk does not have to be entirely written in the same session) and retains a high level of compatibility with standard CD readers (unlike CD-RW which can be rewritten but has much lower compatibility and the discs are considerably more expensive).
The CD-R, originally named CD Write-Once (WO), specification was first published in 1988 by Philips and Sony in the 'Orange Book'. The Orange Book consists of several parts, furnishing details of the CD-WO, CD-MO (Magneto-Optic), and CD-RW (ReWritable). The latest editions have abandoned the use of the term "CD-WO" in favor of "CD-R", while "CD-MO" were very little used. Written CD-Rs and CD-RWs are, from a technical standpoint, fully compatible with the Audio CD (Red Book) and CD-ROM (Yellow Book) standards, although some hardware compatible with Red Book CDs may have difficulty reading CD-Rs and especially CD-RWs. They use Eight-to-Fourteen Modulation, CIRC error correction plus the third error correction layer defined for CD-ROM.
The dye materials developed by Taiyo Yuden made it possible for CD-R discs to be compatible with Audio CD and CD-ROM discs.
A standard CD-R is a 1.2 mm thick disc made of polycarbonate with a 120 mm or 80 mm diameter. The 120 mm disc has a storage capacity of 74 minutes of audio or 650 MiB of data. CD-R/RWs are also available with capacities of 79 minutes, 59 seconds and 74 frames (marketed as 80 minutes) / 736,966,656 bytes (702 MiB), which they achieve by molding the disc at the tightest allowable tolerances specified in the Orange Book CD-R/CD-RW standards. The engineering margin that was reserved for manufacturing tolerance has been used for data capacity instead, leaving no tolerance for manufacturing--for these discs to truly be compliant with the Orange Book standard, the manufacturing process must be perfect.
Most CD-Rs on the market have an 80 minute capacity. There are also 90 minute/790 MiB and 99 minute/870 MiB discs, although they are less common (and violate the Orange Book standard; note that nothing in the Red, Yellow or Orange Book standards says that disc reading/writing devices may not have the capacity to read discs beyond the standard.) Some drives use special techniques to write more data onto a given disc, such as Plextor's GigaRec allowing as much as 1.2 GB to be recorded onto a 99 minute disc; these techniques inherently are deviations from the Compact Disc (Red, Yellow, and/or Orange Book) standards, making the recorded discs proprietary-formatted and not fully compatible with standard CD players and drives. However, in certain applications where discs will not be distributed or exchanged outside a private group and will not be archived for a long time, a proprietary format may be acceptable for greater capacity. Also, due to the limitations of the data structures in the ATIP (see below), 90 and 99 minute blanks will identify as 80 minute ones and have to be burned using "overburn" options in the CD recording software. (Overburning itself is so named because it is outside the written standards, but it has become a de facto standard function in most CD writing drives and software for them.)
(Note: While disc players and drives may have capabilities beyond the standards such that they are able to use nonstandard discs, there is no assurance, in the absence of explicit additional manufacturer specifications beyond normal Compact Disc logo certification, that any particular player or drive will perform beyond the standards at all or consistently. Furthermore, if the same device with no explicit performance specs beyond the Compact Disc logo initially handles nonstandard discs reliably but later stops doing so, there is no assurance that it can be fixed to do so again. Therefore, discs with capacities larger than 650 MiB and especially larger than 800 MiB are less interchangeable among players/drives and are not very suitable for archival use, as their readability on future equipment is not assured.)
The polycarbonate disc contains a spiral groove, called the "pregroove" (because it is molded in before data is written to the disc), to guide the laser beam upon writing and reading information. The pregroove is molded into the top side of the polycarbonate disc, where the pits and lands would be molded if it were a pressed (nonrecordable) Red Book CD; the bottom side, which faces the laser beam in the player or drive, is flat and smooth. The polycarbonate disc is coated on the pregroove side with a very thin layer of organic dye. Then, on top of the dye is coated a thin, reflecting layer of silver, a silver alloy, or gold. Finally, a protective coating of a photo-polymerizable lacquer is applied on top of the metal reflector and cured with UV-light.
A blank CD-R is not "empty"; the pregroove has a wobble (the ATIP), which helps the writing laser to stay on track and to write the data to the disc at a constant rate. Maintaining a constant rate is essential to ensure proper size and spacing of the pits and lands burned into the dye layer. As well as providing timing information, the ATIP (absolute time in pregroove) is also a data track containing information about the CD-R manufacturer, the dye used and media information (disc length etc). The pregroove is not destroyed when the data are written to the CD-R, a point which some copy protection schemes use to distinguish copies from an original CD.
Among the first CD-R manufacturers were the companies Taiyo Yuden, Kodak, Maxell, and TDK. Since then, the CD-R was further improved to allow writing speeds as fast as 52x (as of 2004) relative to the first 1x CD-Rs. The improvements were mainly due to optimisation of special dye compositions for CD-R, groove geometry, and the dye coating process. 40x and higher burners (often part of a DVD burner or combo drive these days) are very common. However, while discs burned at these fast speeds tend to read fine in modern PC drives, audio players often have trouble reading them (implying that in some way the quality of the pits and lands produced at these extreme speeds is inferior.) Low-speed burning at 1x is still used for special "audio CD-Rs", since CD-R audio recorders were standardized to this recording speed.
There are three basic formulations of dye used in CD-Rs:
There are many hybrid variations of the dye formulations, such as Formazan by Kodak (a hybrid of cyanine and phthalocyanine).
Although the CD-R was initially developed in Japan, most of the production of CD-Rs had moved to Taiwan by 1998, and also to Mainland China, Hong Kong, Malaysia and India. Taiwanese manufacturers supplied more than 70% of the worldwide production volume of 10.5 billion CD-Rs in 2003.
Unfortunately, many manufacturers have added additional coloring to disguise their unstable cyanine CD-Rs in the past, so the formulation of a disc cannot be determined based purely on its color. Similarly, a gold reflective layer does not guarantee use of phthalocyanine dye. The quality of the disc is also not only dependent on the dye used, it is also influenced by sealing, the top layer, the reflective layer, and the polycarbonate. Simply choosing a disc based on its dye type may be problematic. Furthermore, correct power calibration of the laser in the writer, as well as correct timing of the laser pulses, stable disc speed, etc., is critical to not only the immediate readability but the longevity of the recorded disc, so for archiving it is important to have not only a high quality disc but a high quality writer. In fact, a high quality writer may produce adequate results with medium quality media, but high quality media cannot compensate for a mediocre writer, and discs written by such a writer cannot achieve their maximum potential archival lifetime.
|Drive speed
|Data rate
|Write time for 80 minute/700 MB CD-R
|150 KiB/s
|80 minutes
|600 KiB/s
|20 minutes
|1200 KiB/s
|10 minutes
|1800 KiB/s
|6.7 minutes
|4800 KiB/s
|2.5 minutes (see below)
|7800 KiB/s
|1.5 minutes (see below)
At higher write speeds, more time is used for overhead processes, such as organizing the files and tracks, which adds to the theoretical minimum.
Also, above 20X speed, drives use a Zoned-CLV strategy, where the advertised maximum speed is only reached near the outer rim of the disc. This is not taken into account by the above table.
A rough estimation of the amount of data on a CD-R can be gained on some discs by inspecting the playback side of the disc. A visible variation in the surface can be observed. The used disc space is seen as a light area and unused space is seen as a dark area. CD-Rs are written from the center of the disc outwards.
Real-life (not accelerated aging) tests have revealed that some CD-Rs degrade quickly even if stored normally. The quality of a CD-R disc has a large and direct influence on longevity -- cheap discs shouldn't be expected to last very long. Unfortunately, branding isn't a terribly good guide to quality, because many brands (major as well as no name) do not actually manufacture their own discs. Instead they are sourced from different manufacturers of varying quality. For best results, verify the actual manufacturer and material components of each batch of discs.
Burned CD-Rs suffer from material degradation, just like most writable media. CD-R media have an internal layer of dye used to store data. In a CD-RW disc, the recording layer is made of an alloy of silver and other metals — indium, antimony, and tellurium. In CD-R media, the dye itself can degrade causing data to become unreadable.
As well as degradation of the dye, failure of a CD-R can be due to the reflective surface. While silver is less expensive and more widely used, it is more prone to oxidation resulting in a non-reflecting surface. Gold on the other hand, although more expensive and no longer widely used, is an inactive material and so, gold-based CD-Rs do not suffer from this problem.
Paper paste-on labels for CD-Rs have been linked to degradation of the recording surface, although the issue is not without controversy . Permanent markers are commonly used to mark the label side of CD-Rs and DVDs. This practice has been discouraged because it is believed xylene and toluene, common substances in permanent marker ink, can cause surface deterioration. Additionally, volatile organic compounds may be released which will remain inside the enclosed atmosphere of a CD-R's storage box, causing harm.
Quality of writing matters: better recorders are capable of producing better burned discs with a better lifespan (and vice versa), and writing at lower speeds tends to produce burned discs with better lifespan than writing at higher speeds. This is partly because of the nature of the transparent error correction embedded in the Compact Disc system and extended in CD-ROM (Yellow Book): disc written faster may have more correctable errors at inception. These errors, being correctable, are undetectable to the user in normal reading, but they use up some of the damage tolerance which the error correction system provides, so it is less able to compensate for future damage. Therefore, it takes less degradation of the dye layer to use up all of the error correction capability on the disc, and thus less time before uncorrectable errors appear (visible to the user in normal reading.)
One last factor that affects the quality of a CD-R and influences its lifespan is the lacquer that is used to seal the CD-R and protect the dye and the reflective material from the influence of external materials such as air, water and alcohol. Tiny bubbles, gaps, delamination at the edges, or permeability of the lacquer (which may depend on its thickness) may cause the lacquer to fail and allow these materials to come in contact with the metal and/or the dye.
Dust can be removed from a CD's surface using compressed air or by very lightly wiping the information side with a very soft cloth (such as an eyeglass cleaning cloth) from the center of the disc in an outward direction. Wiping the information surface of any type of CD in a circular motion around the center, however, has been known to create scratches in the same direction as the information and potentially cause data loss. Fingerprints or stubborn dust can be removed from the information surface by wiping it with a cloth dampened with diluted dish detergent (then rinsing) or alcohol (methylated spirits or isopropyl alcohol) and again wiping from the center outwards, with a very soft, cloth (non-linting : polyester, nylon, etc.). It is harmful, however, to use acetone, nail polish remover, kerosene, petrol/gasoline, or any other type of petroleum-based solvent to clean a CD-R; the use of petroleum based solvents will damage the polycarbonate surface and the CD-R will become unreadable.
Burn speed can also affect the compatibility due to worse jitter on disks recorded at higher speeds; selecting a slower speed can improve compatibility, especially for CD-DA. However, for writing some burners may not perform best at their lowest speed, and may not perform best on all discs at the same speed; each burner/media combination has an optimal speed which is most likely a lower rather than higher speed but can only be certainly known by testing that combination at different speeds (using disc checking software such as that which reports C1/C2 errors to compare the quality of readable discs.).

It's a shame what K-1 has become. On the bright side GLORY is stacking their roster and are now the premier kickboxing org.
It's a shame what K-1 has become. On the bright side GLORY is stacking their roster and are now the premier kickboxing org.
I love CroCop, but that wasn't a win against Miller, he looked slow and just got outworked.
Looking at the Glory fighters I think CroCop is better off in K-1. Some vicious fights in Glory5.
great for him to retire with that title under his belt, even if the talent pool was substantially shallower than in previous years.
shocking that he can be knocked out by a schlub like shaub and then go win the world championship in kickboxing two years later. hrmmm.
Survival is Triumph Enough
-Harry Crews
I'm genuinely surprised at this, even if one of the wins was controversial, as Crocop seemed very gunshy in his last few UFC fights
it is odd. he was so gunshy and had completely lost his killer instinct. then he leaves the UFC and immediately beats... was it aerts or sefo?
Survival is Triumph Enough
-Harry Crews
Not only brazilians can do this stuff
People are giving too much credit for this one. K-1 is garbage these days. All the best guys are in GLORY.
Could you imagine Cro Cop vs Badr Hari? Despite the fact that Cro Cop won the GP, and Hari just lost...
... I think Hari would murder that nice old Croation man.
It is like saying that fighters in ONE FC are garbage.
And Crocop deserves the credit he is getting for winning this one. No one is saying that now he is the best striker in the world, but considering how damaged he is, how he was almost retired, how he ended his UFC career with 3 KO loses to guys that are not even his shadow in the striking aspect.
And to return to kickboxing and win an important belt is indeed a big deal.
Yeah obviously he would lose to the Top guys in Glory, and yes he would also lose to Badr Hari, but still winning the K-1 GP even if K-1 is not the same as before is not something that anyone can do.
Not only brazilians can do this stuff
^Sorry, I didn't mean to offend you.
I think that K-1 is hot garbage now, especially in their heavyweight class. K-1 MAX still has a few good guys like Kyshenko, Zambidis, Groenhart, and Souwer. Other than that, there isn't much to see. I've been a K-1 fan since way back. It's just not the same anymore, plain and simple.

News and notes from industry suppliers.
Gaithersburg, MD—The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has put out reference materials for supplements that include Vaccinium berries. New to its library are a suite of quality assurance tools for the following dietary supplement ingredients: cranberry, blueberry, bilberry and mixed berry.
Buckinghamshire, UK—Elevated prices among commodities such as sugar are forcing food manufacturers to reformulate products with alternative sweeteners. Despite the general trend away from high-fructose corn syrup (HCFS), some companies are opting to use this sweetener in an effort to avoid the soaring price of sugar. Others are looking to up-and-coming sweeteners such as agave and stevia to sidestep the inflation.
University Park, PA—A recent report published in the Journal of the American College of Nutrition indicates that walnut oil and walnuts may improve one's reaction to stress. Sheila G. West from Pennsylvania State university and her team examined how foods containing polyunsaturated fats (such as walnuts) can positively affect blood pressure at times of rest and during times of stress.
Retailers usually lease their retail spaces because the cost of owning, developing and maintaining real estate is beyond the budget of most. With limited capital, most retailers rightly focus on "Job No. 1": retailing.
DSM CEO Feike Sijbesma received the 2010 Humanitarian of the Year Award from the United Nations Association of New York "for his outstanding commitment to corporate social responsibility and in particular for DSM's partnership with the United Nations World Food Programme."
The second Natracare Sisters raised $320,000 to help "improve the health of women and babies by training women scientists and clinicians." Sisters Susie Hewson, Natracare's chief executive, and Theresa White cycled 450 km over five days in China as part of the Women for Women Cycle China challenge.
Rockville, MD—Based on results from a 10-year study tracking the retail industry's efforts to improve food safety factors, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) concludes that the presence of certified food safety managers on site to oversee and enforce food safety practices in stores significantly increases compliance with food safety practices.
Washington, D.C.—In October, The Institute of Medicine (IOM) released the first report of a two-phase study examining nutrition rating systems and symbols on front-of-package (FOP) labeling. This first report details the nutrition science basis for FOP labeling systems and concludes that FOP labeling systems ought to reference serving size, calorie information, saturated fat, trans fat and sodium to effectively assist consumers in making healthful food choices.

Rated 4 out of 5Â by gossamerdreams cute, shrunken fit This is a sweet, rather thin thermal that has kinda of a shrunken fit. Got the brown in XS and it fits snugly, true to size but in a shrunken way. I am 5'4'', 105 lbs and 32C for comparison. I can see hint of skin at the sides above my belt, and i have a short torso, just sayin'... The color is much lighter than in the images, appears faded compared to the images not sure about the color and my complexion, but hanging on to it because it is a very cute layering piece, the contrast stitch is turquoise and the sleeves are long. The contrast stitch is not at all so bright as in the images and I have started to notice that the studio-shots are often darkening the hues of the colors and highlighting the accents compared to the clothes i receive... 10.18.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by NinjaGirl Starlight Starbright Another fun WTF thermal tee to brighten up your wardrobe. The fabric is lightweight, soft and stretchy. The band of embroidery is not constricting on the sleeves. The sleeves are really long, but I'm a petite and it was expected. I purchased this in brown, and it looks pretty close to what you see online. Fit is just a little loose but not in a bad way. 10.4.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by moncheri Cute Super stretchy. I really like it. Love the detail trim. Again, I got a large because Iâm very curvy, but I should have gotten a medium. Iâll keep the large though. 2.5.2013
Rated 1 out of 5Â by cameragirl defective fabric!!! Ordered regular FP size in XS, brown, I'm 5'4" 34A, 106 lbs. It was cute, generous long sleeves. Noticed when received the fraying edge, extra threads where trim was sewn to left sleeve, but I just layered it under a cardigan and washed following tag instructions cold wash, gentle, lay flat to dry. The result was a shirt full of holes in the fabric! There are three holes about 1 inch from the back seam, one which looks like was a previous repair to the fabric or is just defective slubs, 2 holes to the left of the left front seam, 2 holes to the right of the right front seam, one hole next to the left underarm seam, and 6 holes to the rear of the trim down the full length of the right sleeve! This appears that the fabric was upcycled, or just defective.It is very thin, nonstretch compared to regular FP thermals. Local store very nicely tried to locate another to exchange, none were found. Customer service online just said sorry , its over 30 days, and did nothing regarding this matter, even tho its only been a few days past . Never seen anything like this before, extremely disappointed in both the top and online lack of service. Perhaps another retailer can locate another non defective top, as I did truly like. 2.4.2013

Rated 4 out of 5Â by catlover Cute! Love it! Just wish it was longer. 1.17.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by spiritbeads Definitely... Very cute thermal. Lightweight fabric compared to the thermals with decorative cuffs. I'm 5'5", 108lbs and normally wear an XS but ordered the ivory in S because of the fabric weight. and more 'see through' color. The S is perfect, only slightly looser without being oversized on me. Gently washes and low-heat dries beautifully. Feminine and amazingly soft. Highly recommend! 10.11.2012
