The fifth trumpet is followed by a representation of another star as falling from heaven and opening the bottomless pit, out of which come swarms of locusts. (1-12) The sixth trumpet is followed by the loosing of four angels bound in the great river Euphrates. (13-21)
Verses 1-12 Upon sounding the fifth trumpet, a star fell from heaven to the earth. Having ceased to be a minister of Christ, he who is represented by this star becomes the minister of the devil; and lets loose the powers of hell against the churches of Christ. On the opening of the bottomless pit, there arose a great smoke. The devil carries on his designs by blinding the eyes of men, by putting out light and knowledge, and promoting ignorance and error. Out of this smoke there came a swarm of locusts, emblems of the devil's agents, who promote superstition, idolatry, error, and cruelty. The trees and the grass, the true believers, whether young or more advanced, should be untouched. But a secret poison and infection in the soul, should rob many others of purity, and afterwards of peace. The locusts had no power to hurt those who had the seal of God. God's all-powerful, distinguishing grace will keep his people from total and final apostacy. The power is limited to a short season; but it would be very sharp. In such events the faithful share the common calamity, but from the pestilence of error they might and would be safe. We collect from Scripture, that such ( 1 Corinthians. 11:19 ) early writers plainly refer this to the first great host of corrupters who overspread the Christian church.
Verses 13-21 The sixth angel sounded, and here the power of the Turks seems the subject. Their time is limited. They not only slew in war, but brought a poisonous and ruinous religion. The antichristian generation repented not under these dreadful judgments. From this sixth trumpet learn that God can make one enemy of the church a scourge and a plague to another. The idolatry in the remains of the eastern church and elsewhere, and the sins of professed Christians, render this prophecy and its fulfilment more wonderful. And the attentive reader of Scripture and history, may find his faith and hope strengthened by events, which in other respects fill his heart with anguish and his eyes with tears, while he sees that men who escape these plagues, repent not of their evil works, but go on with idolatries, wickedness, and cruelty, till wrath comes upon them to the utmost.
Revelation 9:1-21 . THE FIFTH TRUMPET: THE FALLEN STAR OPENS THE ABYSS WHENCE ISSUE LOCUSTS. THE SIXTH TRUMPET. FOUR ANGELS AT THE EUPHRATES LOOSED.
1. The last three trumpets of the seven are called, from Revelation 8:13 , the woe-trumpets.
fall--rather as Greek, "fallen." When John saw it, it was not in the act of falling, but had fallen already. This is a connecting link of this fifth trumpet with Revelation 12:8 Revelation 12:9 Revelation 12:12 , "Woe to the inhabiters of the earth, for the devil is come down," &c. Compare Isaiah 14:12 , "How art thou fallen from heaven, Lucifer, son of the morning!"
the bottomless pit--Greek, "the pit of the abyss"; the orifice of the hell where Satan and his demons dwell.
3. upon--Greek, "unto," or "into."
as the scorpions of the earth--as contrasted with the "locusts" which come up from hell, and are not "of the earth."
have power--namely, to sting.
4. not hurt the grass . . . neither . . . green thing . . . neither . . . tree--the food on which they ordinarily prey. Therefore, not natural and ordinary locusts. Their natural instinct is supernaturally restrained to mark the judgment as altogether divine.
those men which--Greek, "the men whosoever."
in, &c.--Greek, "upon their forehead." Thus this fifth trumpet is proved to follow the sealing in Revelation 7:1-8 , under the sixth seal. None of the saints are hurt by these locusts, which is not true of the saints in Mohammed's attack, who is supposed by many to be meant by the locusts; for many true believers fell in the Mohammedan invasions of Christendom.
5. they . . . they--The subject changes: the first "they" is the locusts; the second is the unsealed.
five months--the ordinary time in the year during which locusts continue their ravages.
their torment--the torment of the sufferers. This fifth verse and Revelation 9:6 cannot refer to an invading army. For an army would kill, and not merely torment.
6. shall desire--Greek, "eagerly desire"; set their mind on.
shall flee--So B, Vulgate, Syriac, and Coptic read. But A and Aleph read, "fleeth," namely continually. In Revelation 6:16 , which is at a later stage of God's judgments, the ungodly seek annihilation, not from the torment of their suffering, but from fear of the face of the Lamb before whom they have to stand.
7. prepared unto battle--Greek, "made ready unto war." Compare to horses is traced: the plates of a horse armed for battle are an image on a larger scale of the outer shell of the locust.
crowns--( Nahum 3:17 ). ELLIOTT explains this of the turbans of Mohammedans. But how could turbans be "like gold?" ALFORD understands it of the head of the locusts actually ending in a crown-shaped fillet which resembled gold in its material.
as the faces of men--The "as" seems to imply the locusts here do not mean men. At the same time they are not natural locusts, for these do not sting men ( Revelation 9:5 ). They must be supernatural.
8. hair of women--long and flowing. An Arabic proverb compares the antlers of locusts to the hair of girls. EWALD in ALFORD understands the allusion to be to the hair on the legs or bodies of the locusts: compare "rough caterpillars," Jeremiah 51:27 .
as the teeth of lions--( Joel 1:6 , as to locusts).
9. as it were breastplates of iron--not such as forms the thorax of the natural locust.
as . . . chariots--( Joel 2:5-7 ).
battle--Greek, "war."
10. tails like unto scorpions--like unto the tails of scorpions.
and there were stings--There is no oldest manuscript for this reading. A, B, Aleph, Syriac, and Coptic read, "and (they have) stings: and in their tails (is) their power (literally, 'authority': authorized power) to hurt."
11. And--so Syriac. But A, B, and Aleph, omit "and."
had--Greek, "have."
a king . . . which is the angel--English Version, agreeing with A, Aleph, reads the (Greek) article before "angel," in which reading we must translate, "They have as king over them the angel," &c. Satan (compare Revelation 9:1 ). Omitting the article with B, we must translate, "They have as king an angel," &c.: one of the chief demons under Satan: I prefer from Revelation 9:1 , the former.
bottomless pit--Greek, "abyss."
Abaddon--that is, perdition or destruction ( Job 26:6 , Proverbs 27:20 ). The locusts are supernatural instruments in the hands of Satan to torment, and yet not kill, the ungodly, under this fifth trumpet. Just as in the case of godly Job, Satan was allowed to torment with elephantiasis, but not to touch his life. In Revelation 9:20 , these two woe-trumpets are expressly called "plagues." ANDREAS OF CÆSAREA, A.D. 500, held, in his Commentary on Revelation, that the locusts mean evil spirits again permitted to come forth on earth and afflict men with various plagues.
12. Greek, "The one woe."
hereafter--Greek, "after these things." I agree with ALFORD and DE BURGH, that these locusts from the abyss refer to judgments about to fall on the ungodly immediately before Christ's second advent. None of the interpretations which regard them as past, are satisfactory. Joel 1:2-7 , 2:1-11 , is strictly parallel and expressly refers ( Joel 2:11 ) to THE DAY OF THE LORD GREAT AND VERY TERRIBLE: Joel 2:10 gives the portents accompanying the day of the Lord's coming, the earth quaking, the heavens trembling, the sun, moon, and stars, withdrawing their shining: Joel 2:18 Joel 2:31 Joel 2:32 , also point to the immediately succeeding deliverance of Jerusalem: compare also, the previous last conflict in the valley of Jehoshaphat, and the dwelling of God thenceforth in Zion, blessing Judah. DE BURGH confines the locust judgment to the Israelite land, even as the sealed in Revelation 7:1-8 are Israelites: not that there are not others sealed as elect in the earth; but that, the judgment being confined to Palestine, the sealed of Israel alone needed to be expressly excepted from the visitation. Therefore, he translates throughout, "the land" (that is, of Israel and Judah), instead of "the earth." I incline to agree with him.
13. a voice--literally, "one voice."
from--Greek, "out of."
the four horns--A, Vulgate (Amiatinus manuscript), Coptic, and Syriac omit "four." B and CYPRIAN support it. The four horns together gave forth their voice, not diverse, but one. God's revelation (for example, the Gospel), though in its aspects fourfold (four expressing world-wide extension: whence four is the number of the Evangelists), still has but one and the same voice. However, from the parallelism of this sixth trumpet to the fifth seal ( Revelation 6:9 Revelation 6:10 ), the martyrs' cry for the avenging of their blood from the altar reaching its consummation under the sixth seal and sixth trumpet, I prefer understanding this cry from the four corners of the altar to refer to the saints' prayerful cry from the four quarters of the world, incensed by the angel, and ascending to God from the golden altar of incense, and bringing down in consequence fiery judgments. Aleph omits the whole clause, "one from the four horns."
14. in, &c.--Greek, "epi to potamo"; "on," or "at the great river."
Euphrates--(Compare Revelation 16:12 ). The river whereat Babylon, the ancient foe of God's people was situated. Again, whether from the literal region of the Euphrates, or from the spiritual Babylon (the apostate Church, especially ROME), four angelic ministers of God's judgments shall go forth, assembling an army of horsemen throughout the four quarters of the earth, to slay a third of men, the brunt of the visitation shall be on Palestine.
15. were--"which had been prepared" [TREGELLES rightly].
for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year--rather as Greek, "for (that is, against) THE hour, and day, and month, and year," namely, appointed by God. The Greek article (teen), put once only before all the periods, implies that the hour in the day, and the day in the month, and the month in the year, and the year itself, had been definitely fixed by God. The article would have been omitted had a sum-total of periods been specified, namely, three hundred ninety-one years and one month (the period from A.D. 1281, when the Turks first conquered the Christians, to 1672, their last conquest of them, since which last date their empire has declined).
slay--not merely to "hurt" ( Revelation 9:10 ), as in the fifth trumpet.
of men--namely, of earthy men, Revelation 8:13 , "inhabiters of the earth," as distinguished from God's sealed people (of which the sealed of Israel, Revelation 7:1-8 , form the nucleus).
16. Compare with these two hundred million, Psalms 68:17 , Daniel 7:10 . The hosts here are evidently, from their numbers and their appearance ( Revelation 9:17 ), not merely human hosts, but probably infernal, though constrained to work out God's will (compare Revelation 9:1 Revelation 9:2 ).
and I heard--A, B, Aleph, Vulgate, Syriac, Coptic, and CYPRIAN omit "and."
17. thus--as follows.
of fire--the fiery color of the breastplates answering to the fire which issued out of their mouths.
of jacinth--literally, "of hyacinth color," the hyacinth of the ancients answering to our dark blue iris: thus, their dark, dull-colored breastplates correspond to the smoke out of their mouths.
brimstone--sulphur-colored: answering to the brimstone or sulphur out of their mouths.
18. By these three--A, B. C, and Aleph read (apo for kupo), "From"; implying the direction whence the slaughter came; not direct instrumentality as "by" implies. A, B, C, Aleph also add "plagues" after "three." English Version reading, which omits it, is not well supported.
by the fire--Greek, "owing to the fire," literally, "out of."
19. their--A, B, C and Aleph read, "the power of the horses."
in their mouth--whence issued the fire, smoke, and brimstone ( Revelation 9:17 ). Many interpreters understand the horsemen to refer to the myriads of Turkish cavalry arrayed in scarlet, blue, and yellow (fire, hyacinth, and brimstone), the lion-headed horses denoting their invincible courage, and the fire and brimstone out of their mouths, the gunpowder and artillery introduced into Europe about this time, and employed by the Turks; the tails, like serpents, having a venomous sting, the false religion of Mohammed supplanting Christianity, or, as ELLIOTT thinks, the Turkish pachas' horse tails, worn as a symbol of authority. (!) All this is very doubtful. Considering the parallelism of this sixth trumpet to the sixth seal, the likelihood is that events are intended immediately preceding the Lord's coming. "The false prophet" (as Isaiah 9:15 proves), or second beast, having the horns of a lamb, but speaking as the dragon, who supports by lying miracles the final Antichrist, seems to me to be intended. Mohammed, doubtless, is a forerunner of him, but not the exhaustive fulfiller of the prophecy here: Satan will, probably, towards the end, bring out all the powers of hell for the last conflict compare Revelation 9:1 Revelation 9:2 Revelation 9:17 Revelation 9:18 ).
with them--with the serpent heads and their venomous fangs.
20. the rest of the men--that is, the ungodly.
yet--So A, Vulgate, Syriac, and Coptic. B and Aleph read, "did not even repent of," namely, so as to give up "the works," &c. Like Pharaoh hardening his heart against repentance notwithstanding the plagues.
of their hands--( Deuteronomy 31:29 ). Especially the idols made by their hands. Compare Revelation 13:14 Revelation 13:15 , "the image of the beast" Revelation 19:20 .
that they should not--So B reads. But A, C, and Aleph read "that they shall not": implying a prophecy of certainty that it shall be so.
devils--Greek, "demons" which lurk beneath the idols which idolaters worship.
21. sorceries--witchcrafts by means of drugs (so the Greek). One of the fruits of the unrenewed flesh: the sin of the heathen: about to be repeated by apostate Christians in the last days, Revelation 22:15 , "sorcerers." The heathen who shall have rejected the proffered Gospel and clung to their fleshly lusts, and apostate Christians who shall have relapsed into the same shall share the same terrible judgments. The worship of images was established in the East in A.D. 842.
fornication--singular: whereas the other sins are in the plural. Other sins are perpetrated at intervals: those lacking purity of heart indulge in one perpetual fornication [BENGEL].

Tehran dismisses claims U.S. parts smuggled to Iran
TEHRAN, Oct. 26 (MNA) - Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Ramin
Mehmanparast has dismissed as unfounded the claims that thousands of
specialized transmitters have been smuggled from the United States to
According to the New York Times, the U.S. Justice Department claimed on
Tuesday that electronic parts made in Minnesota were smuggled through
Singapore to Iran, and some of them ended up in the remote controls of
makeshift bombs seized by American forces in Iraq.
Reuters also reported on Tuesday that an Iranian and four people from
Singapore have been indicted on charges that they evaded U.S. export
control laws by buying 6,000 of the transmitters from a Minnesota company
and shipping them via Singapore to Iran.
Speaking to the Mehr News Agency on Wednesday, Mehmanparast said, "The
claims that the U.S. attorney general (Eric Holder) and a number of other
U.S. officials have made have no basis in fact. And the people have not
yet forgotten similar claims that there had been weapons of mass
destruction in Iraq, and Iraq was invaded under the very pretext, but
ultimately it became clear that it was not the case."

Elsewhere in the interview Mehmanparast commented on the written reply
that EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton sent on Friday to the most

States, Britain, France, Russia, China, and Germany) is willing to resume
talks with Iran within weeks if Tehran is prepared to "engage seriously in
meaningful discussions".

Five Individuals Indicted in a Fraud Conspiracy Involving Exports to
Iran of U.S. Components Later Found in Bombs in Iraq
Indictment Also Alleges Fraud Conspiracy Involving Illegal Exports of
Military Antennas to Singapore and Hong Kong
WASHINGTON - Five individuals and four of their companies have been
indicted as part of a conspiracy to defraud the United States that
allegedly caused thousands of radio frequency modules to be illegally
exported from the United States to Iran, at least 16 of which were later
found in unexploded improvised explosive devices (IEDs) in Iraq. Some
of the defendants are also charged in a fraud conspiracy involving
exports of military antennas to Singapore and Hong Kong.
Yesterday, authorities in Singapore arrested Wong Yuh Lan (Wong), Lim
Yong Nam (Nam), Lim Kow Seng (Seng), and Hia Soo Gan Benson (Hia), all
citizens of Singapore, in connection with a U.S. request for
extradition. The United States is seeking their extradition to stand
trial in the District of Columbia. The remaining individual defendant,
Hossein Larijani, is a citizen and resident of Iran who remains at
The arrests and the indictment were announced by Lisa Monaco, Assistant
Attorney General for National Security; Ronald C. Machen Jr., U.S.
Attorney for the District of Columbia; John Morton, Director of the
Department of Homeland Security's U.S. Immigration and Customs
Enforcement (ICE); Mark Giuliano, Executive Assistant Director of the
FBI's National Security Branch; Eric L. Hirschhorn, Under Secretary of
Commerce; and David Adelman, U.S. Ambassador to Singapore.
"Today's charges allege that the defendants conspired to defraud the
United States and defeat our export controls by sending U.S.-origin
components to Iran rather than to their stated final destination of
Singapore. Ultimately, several of these components were found in
unexploded improvised explosive devices in Iraq," said Assistant
Attorney General Monaco. "This case underscores the continuing threat
posed by Iranian procurement networks seeking to obtain U.S. technology
through fraud and the importance of safeguarding that technology. I
applaud the many agents, analysts and prosecutors who worked on this
extensive investigation."
"These defendants misled U.S. companies in buying parts that they
shipped to Iran and that ended up in IEDs on the battlefield in Iraq,"
said U.S. Attorney Machen. "This prosecution demonstrates why the U.S.
Attorney's Office takes cases involving misrepresentations regarding the
intended use of sensitive technology so seriously. We hope for a swift
response from Singapore to our request for extradition."
" One of Homeland Security Investigations' (HSI) top enforcement
priorities is preventing sensitive technology from falling into the
hands of those who might seek to harm American personnel or interests -
whether at home or abroad," said ICE Director Morton. "This
international investigation conducted by ICE's HSI and our law
enforcement partners demonstrates the importance of preventing U.S.
technology from falling into the wrong hands, where it could potentially
be used to kill or injure our military members and our allies. Our
agency will continue to work closely through our attaches to identify
these criminals, dismantle their networks, and ensure they are fully
"This multi-year investigation highlights that acquiring property by
deceit has ramifications that resonate beyond the bottom line and
affects our national security and the safety of Americans worldwide,"
said FBI Executive Assistant Director Giuliano. "We continue to work
side-by-side with our many partners in a coordinated effort to bring
justice to those who have sought to harm Americans. We consider this
investigation as the model of how we work cases - jointly with the
Department of Homeland Security/Immigration and Customs Enforcement and
the Department of Commerce/Office of Export Enforcement and collectively
with our foreign partners to address the threats posed by Iranian
procurement networks to the national security interests of the United
States both here and abroad."
"These cases are the product of vigorous, cooperative law enforcement
focused on denying to Iran items that endanger our coalition forces on
the battlefield in Iraq," said Under Secretary of Commerce Hirschhorn.
"We will continue aggressively to go after such perpetrators -- no
matter where they operate -- to guard against these types of threats."
U.S. Ambassador to Singapore, David Adelman, praised the cooperation
within the U.S. executive branch agencies and with the Singaporean
authorities. "Twenty-first century law enforcement is most effective
when countries work collaboratively as evidenced by this strong,
cooperative effort between the U.S. and Singapore. Congratulations to
all the officials in both our countries who made this happen," he said.
The Charges
The indictment, which was returned in the District of Columbia on Sept.
15, 2010, and unsealed today, includes charges of conspiracy to defraud
the United States, smuggling, illegal export of goods from the United
States to Iran, illegal export of defense articles from the United
States, false statements and obstruction of justice.
The charged defendants are Iranian national Larijani, 47, and his
companies Paya Electronics Complex, based in Iran, and Opto Electronics
Pte, Ltd., based in Singapore. Also charged is Wong, 39, an agent of
Opto Electronics who was allegedly supervised by Larijani from Iran.
The indictment also charges NEL Electronics Pte. Ltd., a company in
Singapore, along with NEL's owner and director, Nam, 37. Finally, the
indictment charges Corezing International Pte. Ltd., a company in
Singapore that maintained offices in China, as well as Seng, 42, an
agent of Corezing, and Hia, 44, a manager, director and agent of
Wong, Nam, Seng and Hia allegedly conspired to defraud the United States
by impeding U.S. export controls relating to the shipment of 6,000 radio
frequency modules from a Minnesota company through Singapore to Iran,
some of which were later found in unexploded IEDs in Iraq. Seng and
Hia are also accused of conspiring to defraud the United States relating
to the shipment of military antennas from a Massachusetts company to
Singapore and Hong Kong. Singapore has agreed to seek extradition for
Wong and Nam on the charge of conspiracy to defraud the United States
relating to the components shipped to Iran, and to seek extradition for
Seng and Hia on the charge of conspiracy to defraud the United States
relating to the military antenna exports.
In coordination with the criminal actions announced today, the Commerce
Department announced the addition of 15 persons located in China, Hong
Kong, Iran and Singapore to the Commerce Department's Entity List. In
addition to the five individual defendants in this case, the Commerce
Department named additional companies and individuals associated with
this conspiracy. In placing these parties on the Entity List, the
Commerce Department is imposing a licensing requirement for any item
subject to Commerce regulation with a presumption that such a license
would be denied.
Exports of U.S. Components Later Found in IEDs
According to the indictment, IEDs caused roughly 60 percent of all
American combat casualties in Iraq between 2001 and 2007. The first
conspiracy alleged in the indictment involved radio frequency modules
that have several commercial applications, including in wireless local
area networks connecting printers and computers in office settings.
These modules include encryption capabilities and have a range allowing
them to transmit data wirelessly as far as 40 miles when configured with
a high-gain antenna. These same modules also have potentially lethal
applications. Notably, during 2008 and 2009, coalition forces in Iraq
recovered numerous modules made by the Minnesota firm that had been
utilized as part of the remote detonation system for IEDs.
The indictment alleges that, between June 2007 and February 2008, the
defendants fraudulently purchased and caused 6,000 modules to be
illegally exported from the Minnesota company through Singapore, and
later to Iran, in five shipments, knowing that the export of U.S.-origin
goods to Iran was a violation of U.S. law. In each transaction, the
defendants allegedly told the Minnesota firm that Singapore was the
final destination of the goods. The defendants also caused false
documents to be filed with the U.S. government, in which they claimed
that a telecommunications project in Singapore was the final end-use for
the modules. In reality, each of the five shipments was routed from
Singapore to Iran via air cargo. The alleged recipient of all 6,000
modules in Iran was Larijani, who had directed Wong, his employee in
Singapore, to order them.
According to the indictment, the defendants profited considerably from
their illegal trade. The defendants allegedly made tens of thousands
of dollars for arranging these illegal exports from the United States
through Singapore to Iran.
The indictment alleges that several of the 6,000 modules the defendants
routed from Minnesota to Iran were later discovered by coalition forces
in Iraq, where they were being used as part of the remote detonation
systems of IEDs. In May 2008, December 2008, April 2009, and July
2010, coalition forces found no less than 16 of these modules in
unexploded IEDs recovered in Iraq, the indictment alleges.
During this period, some of the defendants were allegedly communicating
with one another about U.S. laws prohibiting the export of U.S.-origin
goods to Iran. For example, between October 2007 and June 2009, Nam
contacted Larijani in Iran at least six times and discussed the Iran
prohibitions and U.S. prosecutions for violation of these laws. Nam
later told U.S. authorities that he had never participated in illicit
exports to Iran, even though he had participated in five such shipments,
according to the indictment.
Exports of Military Antennas
The indictment further charges Seng, Hia, and Corezing with a separate
fraud conspiracy involving the illegal export of two types of military
antenna from the United States. The indictment alleges that these
defendants conspired to defraud the United States by causing a total of
55 cavity-backed spiral antennas and biconical antennas to be illegally
exported from a Massachusetts company to Singapore and Hong Kong without
the required State Department license.
These military antennas are controlled for export as U.S. munitions and
are used in airborne and shipboard environments. The indictment states
that the biconical antenna, for example, is used in military aircraft
such as the F-4 Phantom, the F-15, the F-111, the A-10 Thunderbolt II
and the F-16 combat jets.
Seng, Hia and Corezing are alleged to have, among other things,
conspired to undervalue the antennas to circumvent U.S. regulations on
the filing of shipper's export declarations to the U.S. government.
They also allegedly used false names and front companies to obtain the
antennas illegally from the United States.
Additional Misrepresentations
The indictment further alleges that Larijani, based in Iran, made false
statements about doing business with an accused Iranian procurement
agent and that he attempted to obstruct an official proceeding by the
U.S. Department of Commerce.
In January 2010, the Department of Commerce placed Larijani's company,
Opto Electronics, on the Entity List, which is a list of companies to
which U.S. businesses cannot export controlled dual-use items without
obtaining U.S. government licenses. In response, Larijani repeatedly
contacted Commerce Department officials in Washington, D.C., from Iran,
requesting that his company be removed from the Entity List, according
to the indictment. Commerce officials advised Larijani that, in
considering whether his firm should be removed from the list, he needed
to disclose whether he or his firm had any involvement with Majid
Kakavand or Evertop Services Sdn Bhd.
Kakavand is an accused Iranian procurement agent who has been indicted
in the United States, along with his Malaysian company Evertop Services,
for illegally exporting U.S. goods to Iran, including to military
entities in Iran involved in that nation's nuclear and ballistic missile
programs. Kakavand remains a fugitive and is believed to be in Iran.
According to the indictment, Larijani denied to Commerce officials on
three occasions that he or his company, Opto Electronics, had done any
business with Kakavand or Evertop Services. In fact, the indictment
alleges that Larijani had been in communication with others about his
business dealings with Kakavand on at least five occasions from 2006
through 2009.
This investigation was jointly conducted by ICE agents in Boston and Los
Angeles; FBI agents in Minneapolis; and Department of Commerce, Bureau
of Industry and Security agents in Chicago and Boston. Substantial
assistance was provided by the U.S. Department of Defense, U.S. Customs
and Border Protection, the State Department's Directorate of Defense
Trade Controls, the Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets
Control, and the Office of International Affairs in the Justice
Department's Criminal Division, particularly the Justice Department
Attache in the Philippines, as well as the FBI and ICE Attaches in
U.S. law enforcement authorities thanked the government of Singapore for
the substantial assistance that was provided in the investigation of
this matter.
The prosecution is being handled by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Anthony
Asuncion and John W. Borchert of the U.S. Attorney's Office for the
District of Columbia; and Trial Attorneys Jonathan C. Poling and Richard

US charges Singaporeans for selling Iran bomb parts
WASHINGTON (AFP) - US justice officials on Tuesday charged four
Singaporeans and one Iranian with fraudulently exporting radio
equipment to Iran that subsequently ended up in roadside bombs in
At least 16 radio antennas were found in unexploded improvised
explosive devices (IEDs) in Iraq, the US Justice Department said in a
statement, noting that the Iranian suspect in the case is still at
The indictment said thousands of antennas were meant to be exported
from the United States to Iran, and in addition to the four
Singaporeans, four companies from the Asian city state had been
charged in the alleged plot.
Admiral Mike Mullen, then the top US military officer, said in July
that Iran was stepping up its support for Shiite militants in Iraq,
supplying them with more sophisticated weapons that were being used
against American forces.
"Yesterday, authorities in Singapore arrested Wong Yuh Lan (Wong), Lim
Yong Nam (Nam), Lim Kow Seng (Seng), and Hia Soo Gan Benson (Hia), all
citizens of Singapore, in connection with a US request for
extradition," the justice department statement said.
"The United States is seeking their extradition to stand trial in the
District of Columbia," where the US capital Washington is located.
"The remaining individual defendant, Hossein Larijani, is a citizen
and resident of Iran who remains at large," it added.
Assistant Attorney General for National Security Lisa Monaco said the
defendants had attempted to subvert export controls by sending
US-origin components to Iran rather than their stated destination of
"Ultimately, several of these components were found in unexploded
improvised explosive devices in Iraq," she said.
"This case underscores the continuing threat posed by Iranian
procurement networks seeking to obtain US technology through fraud and
the importance of safeguarding that technology."
US Attorney Ronald Machen said the defendants misled US companies in
buying parts that ended up in IEDs on the battlefield in Iraq. "We
hope for a swift response from Singapore to our request for
extradition," he added.
US officials regularly accuse Iran of meddling in the politics of
Baghdad's Shiite-led government, and training and backing militant
groups that target US troops in the south of Iraq.
Analysts have voiced concern that Tehran's ability to interfere could
increase as a result of President Barack Obama's announcement last
week that all US troops will be pulled out of Iraq by the end of this

Personal Health Data Goes to the Doctor
Jul 9, 2014, 9:15 AM, Posted by Christine Nieves, Steve Downs
Since the advent of the stethoscope, information-gathering technology has been helping doctors and other medical professionals improve patient health. Over the past decade, RWJF has funded a series of projects that suggest helping patients track and share data with their clinicians can strengthen the patient-clinician partnership and improve health outcomes. It makes sense that giving clinicians access to patient-tracked health data can improve the health of individuals and communities. As simple as the concept may sound, though, unlocking personal health data for clinical purposes has proven quite challenging.

Chicago area hit with 4 to 7 inches of 'heart attack' snow
BY ART GOLAB Staff firstname.lastname@example.com February 26, 2013 9:24AM
Article Extras
Updated: March 28, 2013 6:29AM
Get the shovel and get ready to do some heavy lifting.
Four to seven inches of wet, slushy "heart attack" snow were forecast to fall on the Chicago area by Wednesday morning, according to the National Weather Service.
Hardest hit were the far north and northwest suburbs in Lake and McHenry counties, which could see six to 10 inches of snow by daybreak. Those counties were under a winter weather warning until 6 a.m.
By late Tuesday, about 10 inches of had fallen in north suburban Gurnee, the storm's highest total so far, according to the weather service. Beach Park saw 9 1/2 inches, while Harvard, Palatine, Mundelein and Lake Bluff all recorded more than 6 inches of snow as of about 8 p.m.
In the western suburbs, areas near Roselle saw just under 6 inches while Wheaton had roughly 5 inches of snow Tuesday evening. Southwest suburban Romeoville, home to the weather service's local office, saw just under 4 inches of snow as of 10 p.m.
Airlines canceled more than 510 flights at O'Hare and 170 flights at Midway as of late Tuesday night, according to the Department of Aviation. Delays were averaging 60 to 90 minutes at O'Hare, and at least 30 minutes at Midway as of Tuesday evening.
The storm also prompted the cancellation of six state basketball tournament regional games being hosted by Chicago Public Schools, while many other school systems closed early or canceled after-school activities and evening classes.
And while most of the snow was expected to fall by Wednesday morning, an additional one to three inches could come down throughout the day, according to the weather service.
If the snow does taper off, Chicago's arterial streets should be mostly clear by the Wednesday morning rush and plows will begin tackling side streets in the morning. "We'll work on the main roads until the snow subsides, then turn to the residential streets," said Streets and Sanitation spokeswoman Anne Sheahan.
The department's Snow Command full fleet of 284 snowplows hit the streets, while the Illinois Tollway mobilized all of its 182 snowplows and canceled all temporary lane closures through 7 a.m. Thursday morning.
The Weather Service urged people to take it easy when shoveling the wet, heavy stuff it described as "heart attack" snow: "Due to the weight of the snow, caution should be exercised to not overexert oneself during shoveling," the advisory stated.

Environmental Service Learning
Service learning, as defined by the National Service Learning Partnership, is:
"...a teaching method that engages young people in solving problems within their schools and communities as part of their academic studies or other types of intentional learning activity. Service learning helps students master important curriculum content by supporting their making meaningful connections between what they are studying and its many applications. Service-learning also helps young people develop a range of service skills, from acts of kindness and caring, to community stewardship, to civic action."
Service learning differs from community service in that a student's community service project may teach valuable skills, but not necessarily offer any connection to content standards.
Examples of service learning
- Students create a trash reduction campaign after studying the amount of trash that ends up in a local body of water and its impact on humans and the water cycle.
- Students present posters and a presentation to younger students about what they have learned after studying the impact that water running off their campus has on living organisms.
Key elements of quality service learning
Ideally, when developing a quality service learning project aligned to specific content standards, all of the following key elements should be included:
1. Integrated learning
Service learning projects support the academic curriculum and vice versa.
2. Service to the community
Service learning projects bring together students, teachers and community partners to provide meaningful service that meets community needs.
3. Collaboration
A quality service learning project incorporates many partners ("stakeholders") in its design and implementation, including students, parents, community-based organizations, teachers, school administrators and service recipients. All partners benefit from the project and contribute to its planning and implementation.
4. Student voice
Students participate actively in every step of the project, including identifying community needs and issues, choosing and planning the project, reflecting on it at each stage, evaluating it, and, most importantly, celebrating its success to reinforce a "job well done."
5. Civic responsibility
By participating in a service learning project, young people learn that they can have an effect on their community and that their voice counts.
6. Reflection
Service learning incorporates important reflection time before, during and after the project to draw links between the social and personal aspects of the project and the academic curriculum.
7. Evaluation
Evaluation conducted by all partners, including the students, districts and communities, measures progress towards the learning and service goals of the project.
Why is service learning more effective?
Service learning primarily uses the methods of "practice by doing" and "teaching others," both of which yield the highest learning retention rates. By integrating what's learned in the classroom with outside-the-classroom community experiences, students retain more.
"The Learning Pyramid" developed by the NTL Institute of Alexandria, Virginia and pictured here, shows various curriculum teaching methods and the learning retention rates resulting from each method. (NOTE: NEED TO INSERT GRAPHIC OF LEARNING PYRAMID)
Join us for service learning training
TreePeople's service learning training includes teacher workshops held throughout the year. The training also includes education summits offering a deeper study of issues presented by environmental education specialists.

I started doing yoga in front of the television around the eighth inning. Buster Posey was throwing all these people out and the FOX broadcasters were mispronouncing everyone's names and it was a tie game against the Dodgers in the middle of September. I was doing Triangle Pose and drinking my banana-mango smoothie because, as you all know, baseball games make me nervous. Vah-ree nervous.
This is triangle pose. It's a great pose for lazy people like me who don't actually do yoga.
Anyhows, this was a good game all around: close, good pitching and some nice bits of situational hitting. It didn't go the Giants direction, in the end, but Matt Cain was almost entirely dazzling and Buster Posey was marvelous, marvelous, marvelous. He was involved in both of the Giants runs and threw out a career record three runners. Two of them were back to back, Hanley twice and Ethier once.
This game was that example of a time when the team just has to be that much better. That being not that much at all. And it's not exactly something you can pinpoint or try to fix, because some days one team will be there and the other won't be. The Giants have made some choices of offense over defense and it's paid off. It didn't, today, but that doesn't mean we should scrap the whole idea, of course. (Although if they decided to scrap the whole idea in favor of turning the San Francisco Giants into the San Francisco Giants Cupcake Shop & Café, I would totally be down for that.)
In other news, Matt Kemp was out today and tomorrow with a shoulder injury. We can add him to the long list of causalities on opposing teams that the Giants have left in their wake. I haven't ruled voodoo out yet. I think I'm going have to open up a research project, this offseason, to analyze that ever-so-slightly-disturbing trend.

Jeb Bladine - Localize your holiday purchases
Nov 23, 2012 | 16 Comments
By Jeb Bladine
Of the News-Register
For the first time, our annual "Shop Local" message is being delivered on "Black Friday." The irony, no doubt, is not lost on those who believe a Shop Local campaign should promote only locally owned retail and service providers.
Certainly, we maximize the area impact of consumer spending by supporting locally owned businesses. But outside-owned companies also employ local people and support the community, so we should be comfortable extending our "Shop Local" cloak to those businesses.
First, as usual, here's the message we've delivered in this space for almost 25 years:
Dollars spent at home are recirculated to the benefit of our community. Property taxes from local businesses finance our schools and other government services, and those owners and employees support and finance local causes, programs and projects.
Buying locally is a primary way to improve the economy and social infrastructure serving our community. Strong local businesses will draw buyers from other communities, offsetting the outflow of money when local people shop elsewhere.
Tens of millions of dollars are at stake annually. A strong shop-at-home mentality translates into better prices and selections in local stores and a strong economy serving everyone.
Extending the concept
The "Shop Local" concept can be extended to the state and nation. Purchasing goods made in Oregon, or at least made in America, supports some of the most important elements of a strong economy. When those goods are produced nearby, the financial impact is even greater.
Manufacturers provide quality jobs, and our country has lost far too many of those jobs to foreign countries. In fact, one of the most interesting "Made in Oregon" campaigns involves an effort to entice Chinese companies to open manufacturing plants in our state.
There also is a new campaign called "The Made in America Movement" (MIA). Its mission: "To play a part in the restoration of the U.S. economy by connecting U.S. manufacturers with consumers. Educating consumers on the importance of buying American-made products. Partnering with manufacturers and small retail boutiques to collaborate on expanding their Made in USA product inventory."
At all levels, Shop Local supporters identify the "multiplier effect" of keeping dollars inside our economy. According to the MIA movement, this economic factor generates $1.40 in revenue for every $1 spent, and each additional 1 percent of Made in America goods purchased generates 250,000 jobs.
Bottom line is, consumer spending accounts for a majority of all economic activity. The more spending we keep in our community, county, state and nation, the better our economy will be.
'New Tradition' is important
Significant forces continue to impact the level of consumer spending. One is the slow recovery from a great recession; another is growing recognition that overbuying contributes to excesses in energy use and depletion of natural resources.
In such times, it's even more important to consider the "Birth of a New Tradition" we featured in last year's Shop Local message. Written by an unknown author, the article went viral on the Internet in 2011, and its core axioms are all the more relevant in 2012.
Give gift certificates to a hair salon or barber, to a local gym or for an auto detail job, the person wrote. Mow a lawn for the summer or take someone for a game of golf. Give the gift of an oil change, cleaning day or computer tune-up. Consider local artwork, restaurant reservations or a night at a nearby B&B.
Turn away from those "monstrous piles of cheaply produced goods," the writer urged, which are "produced at the expense of American labor." He or she concluded:
"Let's make spending choices that show we care about the United States; choices that encourage American small businesses to keep plugging away, keep hiring, and keep contributing to our hometown's success. When we care about other Americans and turn that caring into action, the benefits will come back to us in ways we can't even imagine. Choose to make this the new American Christmas tradition."

It seems to me the consuming trend is sending things down the tubes. There is no jobs because the small business is being bypassed because of an INFLATION of material being available online. It's like the Fed printing money. It has devalued the material sold. Now that there is an avenue to buy it 20 to 50% less then the brick and mortar guy can provide it for...
Now wholesalers a distributors are going directly to the public bypassing the very shops that have been selling their material all along.
I'm all for capitolism but SHEEEZ!!!!
I'm not sure what the answer is... But the next time you get layed off, think about the purchases you made online. Now that your layed off, who can blame you for needing to buy online... What a person to do?
Not running with the herd can be helpful, and less stressful, too.
You, yourself, being somewhat of a politician, why do you think that is, Troy?
Just curious.

You, yourself, being somewhat of a politician, why do you think that is, Troy?"
let me say it this way:
A farmer, saw that at feeding time his big pigs would lie down in the trough to eat, preventing the little pigs from getting food. He asked aonservative what to do. They replied survival of the fittest was the law of nature, so let the little pigs die.
Then he asked a liberal. They said double the feed and maybe some would spill over to the smaller pigs.

I doubt that an import tax would have the desired effect in this age of instant gratification. I actually believe that you'd see rioting in the inner-city streets should people not be afforded access to cheap big screen tv's, cell phones, computers and/or what have you.

New Books in PsycBooks
Here are the new books recently added to our PsycBooks database:
Activities for Teaching Positive Psychology: A Guide for Instructors 2012 Edited by Jeffrey J. Froh, PsyD and Acacia C. Parks, PhD
"Positive psychology is a rapidly expanding area of study that is of great interest to students at the graduate, undergraduate, and high school levels. But the field is so broad that teachers who want to cover all the bases when designing a positive psychology course may have difficulty locating and selecting materials. Activities for Teaching Positive Psychology addresses this problem by presenting a comprehensive set of fun, interactive classroom activities devised by contributors who are experienced teachers as well as leading scholars in their areas."
Controversy in the Psychology Classroom: Using Hot Topics to Foster Critical Thinking 2012 Edited by Dana S. Dunn, PhD; Regan A. R. Gurung, PhD; Karen Z. Naufel, PhD; and Janie H. Wilson, PhD
"This book provides frameworks for teaching controversial topics and skills for handling disruptions, so teachers can help students evaluate evidence and develop testable questions."
Health and Social Relationships: The Good, The Bad, and The Complicated 2012 Edited by Matthew L. Newman, PhD and Nicole A. Roberts, PhD
"The contributors to Health and Social Relationships not only examine the psychological and physiological linkages between relationships and health, but also offer clinical implications — such as how to foster good social relationships in our personal lives and in our communities at large."
Presurgical Psychological Screening: Understanding Patients, Improving Outcomes 2012 Edited by Andrew R. Block, PhD, ABPP and David B. Sarwer, PhD
"The success of many surgical procedures depends not only on the skill of the surgeon and the use of state-of-the-art technology, but also on the actions and characteristics of the patient. Patients' emotional and psychosocial concerns, health-related behaviors, outcome expectations, and compliance with treatment regimen can all strongly influence the ultimate effectiveness of surgery. Thus, mental health professionals are increasingly called upon to perform presurgical psychological screening (PPS) to ensure that patients are given the treatments most likely to be effective, while reducing the chances of worsening their conditions. This book presents PPS procedures for a wide range of surgery types, such as spinal surgery, organ transplantation, bariatric surgery, and plastic surgery. Drawing on both research and clinical experience, the authors explain how to conduct PPS, communicate results to patients and surgeons, and identify possible pre- or postsurgery interventions to mitigate risk factors and maximize the likelihood of surgical success."
Understanding and Treating Pathological Narcissism 2012 Edited by John S. Ogrodniczuk, PhD
"In this book, today's most prominent thinkers and clinical experts on pathological narcissism address the challenges facing therapists who work with narcissistic patients. They trace the history of our understanding of narcissism, from ancient myth, to Freud and subsequent psychodynamic approaches and also provide clinicians with a comprehensive guide to treatment that covers features of the disorder, diagnosis, and assessment, as well as special considerations in the vital areas of transference and countertransference."
Alcohol and Illicit Drug Use in the Workforce and Workplace 2012 By Michael R. Frone, PhD
"In this authoritative book, Michael R. Frone takes a close look at what we know and don't know about workforce and workplace substance involvement. In doing so, he exposes the lack of evidence behind many popular myths that have persisted since the "war on drugs" began in the 1980s."
Authoritative Parenting: Synthesizing Nurturance and Discipline for Optimal Child Development 2012 Edited by Robert E. Larzelere, PhD; Amanda Sheffield Morris, PhD; and Amanda W. Harrist, PhD
"In this book, leading scholars update our thinking about authoritative parenting and address three unresolved issues: mechanisms of the style's effectiveness, variations of effectiveness across cultures, and untangling how parents influence children from how children influence them."
Spiritual Interventions in Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy 2012 Edited by Donald F. Walker, PhD and William L. Hathaway, PhD
"This book presents guidance for integrating spiritual interventions in psychotherapy with children and their families. The interventions are appropriate for a range of settings, presenting problems, and client belief systems. Specific chapters address the use of prayer, forgiveness, acceptance, spiritual awareness, sacred texts, and God images in therapy. Illustrative case studies are included, and ethical issues are given special consideration."
Cognition and Brain Development: Converging Evidence From Various Methodologies 2013 Edited by Bhoomika Rastogi Kar, PhD
'In this book, an elite group of international contributors presents the latest advances in the science of cognitive development."
Internationalizing Multiculturalism: Expanding Professional Competencies in a Globalized World 2013 Edited by Rodney L. Lowman, PhD
"This book broadens the concept of multiculturalism to encompass internationalism. In other words, it internationalizes multiculturalism. It argues that professionals in all fields can enhance both their multicultural and international competence to perform more effectively."
The Psychology of Meaning 2013 Edited by Keith D. Markman, PhD; Travis Proulx, PhD; and Matthew J. Lindberg, PhD
"The Psychology of Meaning explores the multifaceted nature of this highly subjective construct. The volume's contributors examine meaning along five dimensions — the architecture of meaning, responding to uncertainty, meaning from retrospection, compensating for meaning violations, and restoring meaning: physiological and neurocognitive mechanisms."

It's important, I believe, to encourage children to explore their creativity in as many various forms as possible.
My daughter has an imaginative and artistic temperament so we tend to be overrun with her creative output — her day to day production can be quite impressive (and overwhelming!). I've learned to select a few pieces for preservation and photograph some of the others for posterity.
My son, however, has a very different approach to his creative endeavors. He works in "bursts" of creativity and tends towards a more dramatic, and often 3-D, approach to his art. Needless to say sculpture parks are one of his favorite "field trips".
I wanted to share a couple of Mac's favorite projects that show both his unique approach to art but also serve as examples of what results when you encourage creativity in kids — the results can be surprising
The Magical White City (made from various bits and pieces scavenged from the garage as well as packing materials):
This particular city provided hours of play after many hours of precise arrangement and placement.
The Robot named Max:
Mac built this almost life-size robot mostly on his own — Dad helped him get the wheels (training wheels from his sister's bike) attached. The robot, affectionately called Max, spent weeks being rolled around and played with and made a wonderful buddy. It finally fell apart but Mac said he's working on plans for a new one this summer, also out of recycled materials.
And my personal favorite, The Swimming Tree:
Mac collects plastic "swimmers" — small pool toys. He is especially fond of duckies and has amassed quite a collection at this point! He decided to create a "swimming tree" since we had put the pool away for the summer and he wanted a way to display his ducks, etc. He was quite pleased with the effect it created.
Here is a close up of The Swimming Tree:
He worked on The Swimming Tree over the course of almost a week, arranging and rearranging the various swimmers to suit whatever aesthetic he wanted to achieve for that day. Then he was done and the swimmers moved on to other pursuits But he has asked to have a picture of the Swimming Tree for his bedroom wall so he can think about other ideas involving nature.
I'm looking forward to seeing his next project or installation, whatever it may be — he's been plotting and planning so I expect there will soon be something new to view and experience!
In what ways do you encourage creativity in your kids, or for yourself if you don't have kids? I would love to hear your thoughts!

Yo is my bro
milwaukee brewers August 29th, 2012
Well it kind of looks like this is going to be Brewers Appreciation Week because I am all about the love right now. These guys deserve it. Aramis Ramirez has been killing the baseball lately and that deserves kudos. I could write twenty five hundred words about Ryan Braun anytime, any place. I could do it every single day if I wanted to. He's that good, but you know who never really seems to get his due? Yo. We hardly ever talk about Yo which is weird because Yo is freaking awesome. Yo is my bro.
Yovani Gallardo has always been outshone by his fellow starters. When the Brewers got Marcum we knew that Marcum would be #2 to Yo, but we still thought about Marcum more. Marcum was new, Marcum was exciting and Yo was still Yo. Then the Brewers got Zack Greinke and Gallardo took a clear backseat. Zack Greinke was a former Cy Young winner with all the potential in the world. He seemed like he was a constant threat to pitch a perfect game or strike out a billion batters. Yo? Yo would get like nine strikeouts and be done by the sixth inning. This was always the perception at least. As it would turn out it was Zack who'd rack up the strikeouts and be done early. Yo would do that too, but he was still the best bet of the three to go deep into a game. (Think Game 1 of the NLDs.) Who knew? Read the rest of this entry »

Dr. Oz is an expert on health foods and is well renowned for his work promoting certain simple ingredients for a better health. They are not the always the most well known items, but they are not terribly expensive. There are plenty of exceptional natural and wholesome foods that have exceptional health properties. Dr. Oz has investigated a few and recommends this superfruit diet for a better life. It's even more powerful since Amazon NewLifeBotanical Garcinia Cambogia is now part of the lineup, according to FoodSecurity.org.
Acai berry has long been recognized as both a delicious and nutritious fruit with plenty of antioxidant potential. It is grown in grape-like clusters from a palm tree. It has very large seeds, but the outer flesh is still exceptional for its taste and health benefits. It has a great deal of dietary fiber and is low in simple sugar. The palm is hailed as benefit to tropical forests, able to be cultivated with minimal disruption to the native ecosystem. But garcinia cambogia extract seems to be the winner these days.
African mango is healthy in its own special ways, and is quite dissimilar to a supermarket mango. It looks like on on the surface, but the most important part is its highly prized nut. The seed contains many fats, as well as a rich variety of proteins. Fat is important in health because fat contains a variety of amino acids that are critical to life. There are also different types of proteins, all of which are important.
Raspberry ketone is an extract that is well known for its ability to help control weight. While eating raspberries will provide this useful sugar in small quantities, it is the extract which is most able to control weight. A person enjoys the benefit of a full dose without having to eat as many berries and their other sugars.
Green coffee extract has long been identified as a weight loss agent. It helps to stimulate the metabolism. It is much healthier than caffeine and does not cause irritation or sleeplessness. It gently prods the metabolism into action and will complement any exercise routine without irritation. Green coffee is raw coffee beans. It was discovered to contain chlorogenic acid and is a natural supply of it.
Take advantage of the latest health discoveries today. The superfruit diet presents the valuable elements from all these plants into a package that acts in synergy. Alone each ingredient might have the potential to mildly encourage weight loss. Together they have a powerful effect that is often equivalent to a maximum strength drug.

Did you copy anything to them or start fresh, I dont know if the 4k thing would affect the copying process.
It does not. I've actually done it both ways, as a fresh drive without bringing over existing recordings, other drive had a no warning catastrophic failure that meant no data was coming over, and as the new drive in a "move the recordings to a new larger drive" scenario as well.

Lace Scoop Neck Raglan Top
Style # 208125
You can never go wrong with floral and lace! Combine the two and you?ll get this gorgeous floral lace bebe top. Choose from a variety of flirty colors to match your mood.
- 50% polyester, 45% nylon, 5% spandex
- Center back to hem: 24" (61 cm)
- Imported
- Model is 5'9" and is wearing a US size S
Lace Scoop Neck Raglan Top
I bought the Calypso Coral colour and the colour is correctly represented on the website. It's a beautiful rich colour, perfect for warmer weather!
It is such a great quality lace top. Lots of lace tops are not made of great material and can get easily frayed but this is really top quality and it is so comfortable and stretchy and moulds and shapes your body beautifully. I was very happy to have received this top.
I had to get it shortened as it was a little long for my liking but otherwise such a nice elegant and feminine top and highly recommended!
Only comment is that it could have been cheaper! The top turned out quite expensive after adding in my postage costs and costs of sending the item to Australia and also tailoring to shorten the top.
February 11, 2013
I have never been a person to wear another color than black but when I seen this top in mint I couldn't resist! The fabric is gorgeous, the color is beautiful and the quality is really great! I am normally a large but these run a little large so I got a medium and it fits perfect! I love it so much I am buying the cream!
January 5, 2013
SEXY n CLASSY
I absolutely love this lace top ? very classy and sexy. I bought it in the Egret and in the light soft green, along with a black ?Midi Knit Pencil Skirt.? I was so excited about it, I even had the Bebe store associate wrap them for me so I could put it under the Christmas tree and open it on Christmas morning! Needless to say I was smiling from ear to ear when I opened the BEBE box. Merry Christmas to me!
December 27, 2012
Good fit
I purchased this top along with the halter style top and I am very happy with both. They fit so good in the bust/back area, without being too tight and confining. I got the egret colour which is like a cream/beige colour. I think the top could have been a little shorter, just my personal preference, it comes to about mid-butt level for length. Comfortable material, with some stretch.

The HaloLink™ Resin provides a method for covalent and oriented attachment of HaloTag® fusion proteins onto a solid surface. The resin consists of a HaloTag® ligand bound to Sepharose® beads that specifically and rapidly binds HaloTag® fusion proteins. HaloLink™ Resin has high binding capacity. Due to covalent linkage, HaloTag® fusion proteins cannot be eluted from the resin, allowing extensive washing to remove nonspecifically bound protein without the danger of eluting HaloTag® fusion proteins. The binding rate is very rapid and equivalent to biotin-streptavidin.

The HaloLink™ Resin can be used in a variety of applications including: detection and analysis of protein:protein interactions (in vivo and in vitro), detection of enzymatic activity of immobilized HaloTag® fusions and one-step purification of fusion protein in conjunction with proteolytic cleavage. A variety of vectors for the expression of HaloTag® fusion proteins in bacterial, mammalian or cell-free systems are available. Please see the HaloTag® Technology Products page for more information.
The HaloTag® technology offers a quick and convenient way to test protein expression of HaloTag® fusion proteins as well as monitor the efficiency of immobilization to HaloLink™ Resin by labeling with fluorescent HaloTag® TMR Ligand followed by SDS-PAGE analysis. Guidelines can be found in the HaloLink™ Resin Technical Manual #TM250.
