I like it a lot! Looks sort of 'bootleggy'...in a good way.
I just found the artwork for the upcoming SUMMER FESTIVAL FTD CD on Elvisnews.com, so I thought I would share it with everyone!
Personally, I like the cover....very colorful, looking quite similar to the posters and banners that The Colonel had hanging inside the Hilton Hotel in Las Vegas in 1972!!
What do you all think about the cover art for this one?? I would love to hear your opinions!!
TCB-World...OPEN for business!!!
I like it a lot! Looks sort of 'bootleggy'...in a good way.
...you won't forget me when I go.
Is that an official term???
TCB-World...OPEN for business!!!
It's actually the 1972 Vegas Summer Festival Hilton Menu with a different picture. Personally, I prefer the original photo (Star Suit) but since it's a 1971 photo, I guess FTD wanted a 72 photo to match the release.
If your an Elvis fan, no explanation is necessary....
If your not, no explanation is possible!
That would be my guess, using a 1972 picture for the cover to keep with the contents of the CD!!
That is interesting that the cover resembles the menu from the summer '72 engagement! Maybe FTD will decide to use the "menu" theme throughout the entire cover....that would be quite different and neat to see!!!
THANKS for the information RS277!!!
TCB-World...OPEN for business!!!
i like it, one of the best
sincerely, Scott, a 15 year old Elvis fan
prayers to Jackie my auntie in law, and R.I.P Charlie Hodge, both victims of cancer
I think it's way too basic for a FTD release. WE've had worse, but also a few better.
Imagine this:
Since FTD is only for fans, why not use the fans more directly? Release some pictures that you (FTD) might want to use for a cover for an upcoming release and let the fans design. Then use one of these ideas and work it out professionaly. And give the designer a free copy of the FTD.
It's a win-win-win situation.... But perhaps to risky for the corporate folks
"A year from now, you'll wish you had started today"
Follow TCB-World on Twitter for website updates and Elvisnews: http://twitter.com/tcbworldcom
What a great idea! Not only would it likely result in much better covers, but would also generate even more FTD interest among the fans. I love the alternate artwork gallery on this site. A lot of the stuff there is much better than any of the official covers I've seen -- especially on the '68-'77 material, which always look like rush jobs from RCA/BMG, Sony, whoever.Originally Posted by Albert
Even if they only did this as a one-shot, or perhaps an annual event, that would still at least be a start. Pocket Books/Simon & Schuster, the publishers of the Star Trek novels, did something similar a few years ago where they allowed fans to send in short stories and then chose the best for a compilation. Apparently, sales were strong enough for them to make several volumes of this over the years.

I like the cover and from all accounts the concert itself is excellent. EP in 1972 was great!
WHAT A FANTASTIC IDEA ALBERT!!!Originally Posted by Albert
It's just too bad that FTD probably would never consider doing something like this....as you said, "too risky" for the corporate folks!! But it certainly would generate some new excitement in the FTD label for sure!!
As far as your assessment of the new cover for SUMMER FESTIVAL being too "basic", I think it works quite well for this release....as I said, it is reminiscent of the banners and posters that hung in the Hilton Hotel during Elvis' engagement in the summer of '72! In this case, I think basic works just fine for this release! Of course, that's just my own personal opinion...
TCB-World...OPEN for business!!!
I like the cover. By the way, good suggestion Albert.
This a great cover.......this a similar of the menu!!
I couldn't agree more Unchained!!!Originally Posted by Unchained
I think using a white background this time around is a nice change of pace, and I also think the white color helped to make DIXIELAND ROCKS and ELVIS AT THE INTERNATIONAL such nice looking covers!!
TCB-World...OPEN for business!!!
Was Elvis actually wearing that Blue Jumpsuit (Jeez, I've forgotten the name of it!) as seen on the cover of the new FTD release, at the August 11th Dinner Show or was it one of the two-piece suits with a multi-coloured shirt?
"I oughta break you in half!"...
"If you do, you'll have two very short friends!"
It's the Blue Swirl Jumpsuit 72-73

I dream a world where man no other man

Aaah Yes, Tommy - the 'Blue Swirl'...I know there are a number of photos of EP wearing this Jumpsuit during '72 - '73, but to me it appears to be a rare Jumpsuit that he probably didn't wear a great number of times on stage?
It is probably the case that the last time he wore it was maybe during his August/September '73 Vegas engagement?
Is it possibly the case that EP first wore the 'Blue Swirl' during this August/September '72 season?
I'm still not convinced that he wore the suit at his August 11th Dinner Show.
"I oughta break you in half!"...
"If you do, you'll have two very short friends!"
Highly doubt he did -- most likely a pants/shirt combination. He started back wearing jumpsuits more regularly somewhere around August 21, I believe, because he ripped one too many pairs of pants during the engagement's first three weeks. Not to say that he didn't wear jumpsuits before that date, just that he stuck mainly to the three-piece outfits.Originally Posted by NEA
I can't recall offhand whether the August 11 dinner show is on the bootleg "At Full Blast" or "Blazing Into The Darkness." Both are very nice concerts -- Joan Deary had tagged one for possible release -- and Elvis ripped his pants during "Polk Salad Annie" on the "At Full Blast" date (indicating that he most likely wore pants and shirt for that show).
Not sure why FTD would release a show that's one of the more widely available as a bootleg, but maybe they don't have much to choose from in terms of recordings from this engagement.
Anyway, although the picture's not of this show (it's a photo from the September 3 3AM show or the September 4 closing show, I think), I applaud them using a nice shot of Elvis in this excellent suit -- something a little different.
I'm a roving roustabout...
The bootleg you are referring to is BLAZING INTO THE DARKNESS but it has been confirmed that the show contained on this bootleg is incorrectly dated! The actual show contained on BLAZING is the dinner show from August 12th, NOT August 11th!Originally Posted by 1100ccRider
Therefore, the show contained on the upcoming SUMMER FESTIVAL FTD has not been released before!
TCB-World...OPEN for business!!!
As far as I know NEA, you are correct....Elvis didn't wear the BLUE SWIRL suit very often. I believe you are correct that Elvis first wore this suit during the August/September '72 Vegas engagement.Originally Posted by NEA
I am not sure if Elvis wore this particular suit at the dinner show on August 11th, but I know he did wear it during this engagement because I have seen some amateur video footage from this '72 summer engagement and it clearly shows Elvis wearing this particular suit!
TCB-World...OPEN for business!!!
That is interesting Unchained....where did you see that cover??
As far as I know, the cover that I originally posted will be the one that FTD uses because EPE has the same cover on their website too! (That is, unless FTD decided to change the cover at the last minute...)
I hope this one that Unchained found is not the one they go with....I liked the first version much better!!!

Research shows that fluoride might decrease serum free T-3 and T-4 levels. One study found that a higher consumption of food from the sea and a higher dietary iodine intake are significantly associated with a decreased risk of thyroid cancer. Also, low selenium status correlates with risk of goiter (thyroid swelling and dysfunction).
Furthermore, tyrosine is needed for normal thyroid hormone function. Optimal thyroid function is also key to optimal metabolism. Persons with an under active thyroid are often overweight and have trouble maintaining ideal weight. Thyrovex contains iodine, L-tyrosine, special amino acid chelated selenium and the novel 3,5' Diiodo-L-Thyronine.

Reverse Mortgage: Is It Too Risky?
Dec 20th 2012 11:16AM
By Beth Braverman If you're 62 or older, you've probably started getting reverse-mortgage solicitations in the mail, and it's hard to miss the aging actors singing the loans' praises on TV (hey, it's the Fonz!). The pitch may sound appealing, especially if you're among the 83 percent of boomers who plan to stay in their... Continue Reading »

Your boiler is designed to work with an indirect water tank. That might be the most cost effective solution. The WM Gold40 runs about $1,100. I use the Gold40 in my 4 bath house and have never run out of hot water.
I have an oil fired WMC WTGO-4 tankless boiler, which is being used for both heating and hot water. Howerver, there is a few min delay when the water heats up, which is uncomfortable especially during the winters. After doing some limiter research, my two options seem to be to either add an indirect fired tank or an on demand natural gas fired water heating system. Any suggestions? Also, if you can provide reliable brands that i can use to complement my heating system. Thank you.

Lots of good brands out there...I'm running a SuperStor Ultra.

We sell Super-Stor and Amtrol's Boiler Mate both of which are excellent choices but as Jim said, there are lots of them out there. Your temperature problem is either a failing tempering valve or the limit is set too low on the boiler. In either case though installing an indirect is the cost effective way to go and while you are at it have them install an outdoor temp re-set control and watch your oil bill drop dramatically.
[B]No, plumbing ain't rocket science. Unlike rocket science, plumbing requires a license[B]
I guess I can always put the ZVC404 on ****.
Thank you for all the suggestions. I think I'm gonna go with WM Aqua Plus 55 tank. Any suggestions as to how much this job might cost? Which additional accessories will I need with the install?
Tom... I don't think its a failing tempering valve, as the boiler is year and a half old and the temperature is set at nearly 200 degrees F. I think Gary is right, indirect has to be installed with these systems, because the boiler coil capacity is low.

In mid-2005 he served a brief stint as a DJ on Radio Furtopia.
He is a regular on the FurNet IRC network as well as owner of the #torfur IRC channel.

In early 2009, Scani joined the convention committee of Furnal Equinox, the first hotel-based furry convention to take place in the Toronto area, and has been involved continuously since then. He currently serves as the head of publicity and website maintainer for the convention, as well as their business advisor.
In addition to his involvement with FE, he has attended the following cons:

FELCH - Elementary students in the Dickinson-Iron Intermediate School District were entertained this week by a nationally recognized children's motivational "edu-tainment" character.
Robert Gottfried, better known as "Rob the Drummer" presented an anti-bullying program to K-6 students at North Dickinson County School on Tuesday.
"These are my drums and my way of speaking to you," said Gottfried, who presented his program in his bare feet.
Article Video
Gottfried said when he is playing the drums, he feels he can be five different people at once. This is because he was using his senses.
"I think it's rather interesting," he said. "If you want to be good at anything - drums, any musical instrument, sports - you have to practice."
Gottfried talked to the students about bullying, cyber bullying and illegal drugs and alcohol.

Child abuse and neglect occur when a parent, caretaker, or another person in a custodial role (e.g., clergy, coach, teacher) acts, or fails to act, in a manner that results in the death, serious physical or emotional harm, or sexual abuse or exploitation of a child; or that presents an imminent risk of serious harm to a child (Office for Victims of Crime: Child Abuse and Sexual Abuse, retrieved February 17, 2014).
In ensuring the protection and welfare of children, the Federal Government has concentrated on three primary goals: safety, permanency, and well-being for abused and neglected children. The Government has led efforts to ensure that child welfare agencies, courts, and other stakeholders work together to achieve these worthy goals (Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, Court Performance Measures in Child Abuse and Neglect Cases, 2009).
Each year, April is designated as National Child Abuse Prevention Month, a time for raising awareness about child abuse and neglect. To learn more about the Justice Department's current efforts related to children exposed to violence, including victims of child abuse, visit the Defending Childhood Web site (Office for Victims of Crime: Child Abuse and Sexual Abuse, retrieved February 17, 2014).
During the month of April and throughout the year, communities are encouraged to raise awareness and promote strategies that address the risk factors surrounding child abuse. In recognition of the importance of ensuring child safety and welfare, NCJRS presents this compilation of child abuse-related publications and resources. Please select a topic from the following list or from the section at the right under the heading "Child Abuse" to learn more:

Employees are open to influence and motivation. "If you tell me what to do, I will do it to protect my job. But if you inspire me to do it, I will do it to the best of my ability." Supervisors who understand this simple truth and know how to apply it are the ones who generate results in today's organizations. Great managers develop high-performance teams that get results because they know how to lead a team, not just manage it. This program will smooth your transition from individual contributor to supervisor to leader. You will learn the basics like delegation, time management, and performance appraisal techniques, and gain insights into the more advanced aspects of leadership needed to inspire and motivate teams.

Locked Doors & Pretty Fences
Joel Henderson
In popular music, the awkward years come between 35 and 50 — too young to be a grizzled vet, too old to be hungry and fresh-eyed, just right to begin the Dad Rock years. Thankfully, Joel Henderson does a surprisingly lively variation on the genre, employing skilled accompanists to support his confident, engaged performance. While Henderson's themes are universal and time-proven (relationships, growing up, etc. — y'know, Springsteen without the social justice), his blending of middle-aged folk and youthful pop-rock, a la Ron Sexsmith, often works. Heidi Gluck's backing vocals especially help keep it interesting, and Mick Sullivan (banjo) and Bill Mallers (keyboards) outshine the rest of the band, alumns of John Prine, Buddy Miller, Over the Rhine, and The Lemonheads. This record was years in the making; it's not quite Woodford Reserve, but this collection aged well.

TSN.ca writes pretty negatively about the New Jersey Devils in their team preview, stating that Jacques Lemaire will hurt their offense due to his style. While this hasn't been true and despite the tone of the preview, they think the Devils will finish 8th overall in the league.
Timo Seppa and the VUKOTA Projections at Puck Prospectus found the Devils to be the 11th best team next season. It's a well-written, researched preview that all who read it will learn something. It's also the best Devils preview I've read so far.
Scott Burnside at ESPN wrote a team preview that's loaded with content and interesting information. Despite a few nuggets, this wasn't a well-researched or well-concluded piece; and I explain why.
Dave Lozo of NHL.com has posted a season preview for the New Jersey Devils today. It's not bad, but it's quite positive with not much criticism given - which is to be expected given it's on the league's website.
Ross McKeon of Yahoo! Sports wrote a preview for the New Jersey Devils that contains two major flaws. I point out what they are and why they are so bad. Also included is a short review of a short preview by Carl Lombardi at FantasyPros911.
Greg Wyshynski wrote a Devils preview which is up-to-date as possible and put it up today. I review the preview, concluding it's worth reading despite some flaws.
Chuck Gormley did the New Jersey Devils team preview for the Sporting News' 2009-10 Hockey Yearbook. It's a fairly negative preview marred by lazy errors and omissions.
The 2009-10 The Hockey News Yearbook has been released in stores and online, and got beat reporter Rich Chere write the preview for the New Jersey Devils. I review the preview, which is one of the best ones currently out there for the team.
In the first installment of Reviewing Devils Previews for the 2009-10 season, I take a look at the Atlantic Division roundtable from View from My Seats. Carlos Figueiredo of Speaking of the Devils represented NJ and so his responses are commented on.

WESTERN SAN JUANS – Many utilities, including the San Miguel Power Association and the Delta-Montrose Electric Association, are warning members to be on the alert for scams targeting utility consumers. SMPA and DMEA has recently been notified by one of their members of an attempted scam, and a recent article appeared in the Durango Herald acknowledged attempts of scams in the neighboring La Plata Electric Association service territory.
Scam artists call or visit a property posing as a co-op or utility employee and threaten to shut off service unless the consumer provides immediate payment.
"The call or the individual visiting the property may seem official," Kevin Ritter, general manager for SMPA, said in a press release this week. "They claim to be with the local utility, and many times the caller ID may even display the name of the utility."
Over the last few days, including the weekend when DMEA was closed, DMEA members have been receiving phone calls from someone posing as a representative from DMEA who is stating their electricity will be disconnected if they do not pay on their delinquent amount immediately. The representative impostor is calling from an 800 number. The authorities, according to DMEA, have been contacted and are aware of situation.
On one occasion the caller attempted to send a member to Wal-Mart to purchase a prepaid card and asked them to call a fake 800 number providing the prepaid card information to the caller so there is no trail of where the payment goes. They may also simply ask for your credit card information, so do not provide any account information until you verify you are speaking with an actual DMEA representative. DMEA was alerted of the scam by several different members and it appears the primary targets are businesses specifically restaurants.
Most utilities, including SMPA will not call members and threaten immediate disconnection. "Typically, written notices are sent, followed by phone calls from a San Miguel Power Association customer service representative to delinquent accounts prior to disconnection" said Ritter. "We do not disconnect services out of normal business hours." Your San Miguel Power Association service will not be disconnected on nights, weekends or holidays.
San Miguel Power Association stresses that members who receive any calls or visits regarding immediate payment of a bill should contact San Miguel Power Association directly. Demands may include a prepaid debit/credit card, wiring money or demands of cash.
"Please be cautious of any phone calls or visits," said Ritter. "If uncertain, locate our contact information on your bill or other reliable form of information. Call us directly to be confident you are dealing with an authorized representative of San Miguel Power Association."
For DMEA members, if any one receive a call regarding their electric utilities, please verify it is a call from the actual DMEA number of 877/687-3632 or 970/249-4572. Please report any additional information regarding this scam to 877/687-3632 or 970/249-4572.

You are not even trying to understand.
How exactly can you disagree with my points about the cost of medical care in this country? It is math, not subjective. And look at the red line on that graph. If you look at state revenue it is even worse.
Let me tell you why costs escalate: Because people don't care how much the services they use actually cost. There are no supply and demand constraints. Single payer (which won't happen here anyway) will only worsen this problem. It will also lead to rationing care and lower quality care. Both the UK and Canada have many problems like this in their systems, problems you refuse to acknowledge.
Supply/Demand: Every one believes everything should be covered. We're used to paying $5 for a doctor's visit and $15 for specialist visit. My recent back surgery cost me nothing. Zero. The result is that usage goes up. With single payer this only will get worse. Many services will be "free." Demand will explode...outstripping supply. This will lead to what we're seeing in the UK, which is rationing.
Here's an example of the demand problem on a much smaller scale:

353: Python
Title text: I wrote 20 short programs in Python yesterday. It was wonderful. Perl, I'm leaving you.
[edit] Explanation
Python is a high-level programming language with a heavily simplified syntax.
Dynamic typing means that you do not have to declare a type for any numbers you enter (for example, "short," "float"); the Python program would automatically know how much space to assign and what type has to be used, like in Visual Basic or JavaScript.
Whitespaces are invisible text characters, like a space or a tab. In Python you delimit blocks simply by indenting the code, while many other programming languages require brackets or statements like BEGIN...END.
Methods, functions and constants in Python are packed in modules. To use a module, you just have to put this code on top of your source file: "
import module". There are lots of ready-to-use modules available, packed into more than 25,000 "packages".
Cueball can fly just because he did import the
antigravity module. Python still works for Cueball in 482: Height.
Perl is another programming language, but Randall doesn't like it any more because its syntax is very complicated.
[edit] Transcript
- [A Friend is talking to Cueball, who is floating in the sky.]
- Friend: You're flying! How?
- Cueball: Python!
- Cueball: I learned it last night! Everything is so simple!
- Cueball: Hello world is just 'print "Hello, World!"'
- Friend: I dunno... Dynamic typing? Whitespace?
- Cueball: Come join us! Programming is fun again! It's a whole new world up here!
- Friend: But how are you flying?
- Cueball: I just typed 'import antigravity'
- Friend: That's it?
- Cueball: ...I also sampled everything in the medicine cabinet for comparison.
- Cueball: But I think this is the python.
[edit] Trivia
In response to this comic, the Python developers implemented the module
antigravity in version 2.7+. When you
import it, the default web browser will open the comic. Also, in version 3+, the module contains a geohashing function.
It is necessary for both Cueballs to sample the medicine cabinet in order for this to be a hallucination. It was probably python. 126.96.36.199 (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)'I also sampled everything in the medicine cabinet for comparison' is a possible reference to George's Marvellous Medicine, the children's book written by Roald Dahl, wherein a combination of medicines and household materials produces fantastical effects.

Social phobia is a persistent and irrational fear of situations that may involve scrutiny or judgment by others, such as parties and other social events.
Phobia - social; Social anxiety disorder
People with social phobias fear and avoid situations in which they may be judged by others. It may begin in adolescence and may have to do with overprotective parents or limited social opportunities. Males and females are affected equally with this disorder.
People with social phobia are at high risk for alcohol or other drug dependence, because they may come to rely on drinks or drugs to relax in social situations.
People with social phobia become very anxious and self-conscious in everyday social situations. They have an intense, persistent, and chronic fear of being watched and judged by others, and of doing things that will embarrass them. They can worry for days or weeks before a dreaded situation. This fear may become so severe that it interferes with work, school, and other ordinary activities, and can make it hard to make and keep friends.
Although many people with social phobia realize that their fears about being with people are excessive or unreasonable, they are unable to overcome them on their own.
Social phobia can be limited to one situation (such as talking to people, eating or drinking, or writing on a blackboard in front of others). Or, it may be so broad (such as in generalized social phobia) that the person experiences anxiety around almost everyone other than family members.
Physical symptoms that often occur with social phobia include:
Social phobia is different from shyness. Shy people are able to participate in social functions. Social phobia affects the ability to function in work and relationships.
Some of the most common fears of people with social phobia include:
The health care provider will look at your history of phobia, and will get a description of the behavior from you, your family, and friends.
Signs include:
The goal of treatment is to help you function effectively. The success of the treatment usually depends on the severity of the phobia.
Anti-anxiety and antidepressant medications are sometimes used to help relieve the symptoms of phobias. See: Panic Disorder
for more information about medications.
Behavioral treatment appears to have long-lasting benefits.
Lifestyle changes may help reduce how often the attacks occur.
The outcome is generally good with treatment, and antidepressant medications have been shown to be very effective.
Call your health care provider or mental health professional if fear is affecting your work and relationships with others.
Taking measures to improve your self-esteem and getting training in social skills may be helpful.

Bulldogs Host Crosstown Rival College of Charleston
Charleston, S.C. – The Citadel tennis team will host the College of Charleston on Tuesday at 1 p.m. at the Earle Tennis Center in its last home match of the regular season.
Last Time Out
The Bulldogs fell to Furman 6-1 last Tuesday to drop their record to 5-15 overall and 0-8 in the SoCon. The doubles tandem of David Orces and James Atkinson in the No. 1 spot, as well as Elliott Sperr and Alex Howle in the No. 3 slot, earned wins for the Bulldogs to give The Citadel the doubles point to halt the shutout.
The Charleston Showdown
The College of Charleston holds an 18-1 all-time advantage with the Bulldogs' lone win coming in 2008 as The Citadel edged the Cougars 4-3. In their last meeting the Bulldogs fell to CofC 6-1 and the single point was earned from Orces in the No. 1 singles position as he defeated Lukas Koncilia 6-0, 6-3.
College of Charleston
The Cougars are 12-3 overall with the three loses coming against ranked opponents and 6-0 in Southern Conference play. The College of Charleston will face off against Georgia Southern Monday afternoon before taking on The Citadel. The Cougars have won their last five matches and are the only undefeated team left in the SoCon left as the regular season comes to an end this week. The team is led by sophomore Crescente Lesser who is 12-2 on the season, has won his last five matches and is currently 6-0 in league play. Mickael Trintignac and Alon Faiman also have had standout seasons with 10 dual wins. In doubles the pair of Kyle Parker and Trintignac have been playing exceptional with a 13-2 overall record and 4-2 SoCon record.

In two recent head-to-head year-long trials, one testing gastric bypass surgery versus lap band surgery and another pitting gastric bypass surgery against sleeve gastrectomy, gastric bypass came out ahead with regard to resolving the symptoms of type 2 diabetes. Both studies were published in the February issue of the Archives of Surgery.
Lap-band surgery and sleeve gastrectomy are both "restrictive" procedures, which reduce the amount of food that can be taken into the stomach. In sleeve gastrectomy, the stomach is cut and sewn to form a narrow sleeve that is not much thicker than the intestine into which it empties. A lap band is a silicon belt that is tightened around the top portion of the stomach. The band creates a small pouch that holds only about a half-cup of food, much less than the six cups that an unobstructed stomach can hold.
Gastric bypass is known as a "malabsorptive" procedure, as opposed to a restrictive procedure, because it reduces the amount of nutrients absorbed by the small intestine. A small stomach pouch is created, to which a Y-shaped section of the small intestine is attached. This causes food to bypass the lower stomach and the first sections of the small intestine. Skipping those two feet of small intestine not only reduces the amount of nutrients the body absorbs, but also causes hormonal and metabolic changes that have been theorized to have a salutary effect on type 2 diabetes. According to this theory, known as the "foregut hypothesis," eliminating the movement of food through the first part of the small intestine normalizes blood glucose levels by altering metabolic signaling.
In the first study, led by Dr. Guilherme Campos while at the University of California at San Francisco, 100 patients who chose bypass surgery were compared to 100 who decided on lap band surgery. All were morbidly obese, and 34 patients in each group had type 2 diabetes. After a year, the bypass patients had lost an average of 64 percent of their excess weight, while the lap-banders had lost an average of 36 percent. Of the 34 patients with diabetes, 76 percent of the gastric bypass patients experienced improved or resolved diabetes, versus 50 percent of the lap-banders.
The second study, led by Dr. Lee-Ming Chung of Taiwan, was specifically designed to test bariatric procedures as treatments for diabetes. In the study, 60 obese patients with type 2 were randomized to receive either sleeve gastrectomy or gastric bypass. Of the gastric bypass group, 93 percent experienced a resolution of their diabetes, versus only half of the sleeve gastrectomy group. These numbers dropped to 57 percent and 0 percent, respectively, after a year.
Dr. Chung and his colleagues indicated that although their findings support the foregut hypothesis, they do not disprove other theories, especially because patients in the sleeve gastrectomy group initially experienced improvement in their diabetes.
Because patients tend to regain weight for several years after these procedures, some experts commented that a year is not sufficient to establish the superiority of one procedure over the others. A five-year or ten-year follow-up, they said, would be more revealing.

I Have No Issues with Short Shorts
When a female wears short shorts it's really only for one reason: to show off the goods. Honestly there just can't be other reasons.  I mean are they trying to let their cheeks breathe? I highly doubt it.  I mean I'm not complaining here I'm just saying is there any other reason at all?  Not a chance.
Again, I have no issues with this. In fact, it's one of my favorite looks in the world if it can be done correctly like in the photo above.
And trust me when I say the examples below are worth it as well……
This might be my favorite female in the universe.  More girls with short shorts below.
