This protein is a member of the fibroblast growth factor family and has been found to stimulate hair growth. Our cells respond to KGF because they have receptors on the cell membrane that recognize this growth factor, which is normally present in our body but which declines as we age. The binding of the growth factor to the receptor initiates a cascade of molecular events that leads to cell division.
ReVive uses KGF in a volumizing serum which they sell for $600 per ounce.
KGF is available in our ready-to-use Hair Care Serum and Brow and Lash Serum. These serums combine KGF with nourishing and stimulating active ingredients for a synergistic effect. We recommend the serums to home users who want the maximum benefit from KGF.
Additional information for KGF can be found here: http://www.skinactives.com/pdfs/kgf.pdf
This growth factor has been proven to stimulate hair growth in laboratory studies. It also accelerates healing and increases skin volume. It may help prevent hair loss during radiation therapy during cancer treatment.
Keratinocyte Growth Factor (KGF) binds to the KGF receptor on the cell surface, acting as both a growth and survival factor by stimulating epithelial cell proliferation, differentiation, and migration, and promoting a number of cell protective mechanisms. KGF is also known as FGF-7 and heparin-binding growth factor-7 (HBGF-7). KGF is a member of the fibroblast growth factor family and has been found to stimulate hair growth. Cells that respond to KGF do so because they have receptors on the cell membrane that recognize the growth factor, normally produced by cells near or far from the target cell. The binding of the Growth Factor to the receptor initiates a cascade of molecular events that will eventually lead, among other effects, to cell division. Keratinocyte growth factor has been shown to regulate proliferation and differentiation in epithelial tissues, and may regulate the stem cells of the hair follicle.
This is one the specialty proteins (see also EGF and SOD) made by Skin Actives Scientific using biotechnology. Biotechnology is a short name for an array of sophisticated methods that allow scientists to make large amounts of a single protein, nearly pure and fully active, at a fraction of the cost of extracting it from the original source material.
Please note that our growth factors are sold for use in cosmetics only.
Please ask us about wholesale pricing as well as custom protein development.
Additional information for KGF can be found here: http://www.skinactives.com/pdfs/kgf.pdf
KGF is kept highly concentrated to preserve its activity, therefore you will hardly see the KGF drop at the bottom of the small tube.
Store the KGF in the refrigerator until you are ready to use it. When ready to use, add the contents of the tube with the clear cap (saline solution) to the tube with the yellow cap (KGF solution) and put the lid back on. Mix by inverting and straightening the tube several times. Make sure the solution is mixed thoroughly, but gently. Vigorous mixing will decrease the activity of the KGF protein.
The KGF is now ready for addition to your cream, lotion, or serum. Do not be tempted to use it more concentrated than recommended. A growth factor is similar to a hormone: very little (it is measured in micrograms, one millionth of a gram) will go a very long way.
Each kit is enough for 4 fl oz of cream, lotion, or serum at approximately 0.00005% concentration (50 mcg in 120 mL cream). Use in your favorite cream or add to our Canvas Base Cream or our Sea Kelp Coral.

i came here with my family for a birthday dinner. we arrived almost 30 minutes early for our 7:30 reservation, and they seated us right away. there was a trio of amuse-bouche, all delicious. the appetizers: smoked trout, egg in a hole, and quail - fantastic, chilled tomato-bread soup - not fantastic. we skipped midcourses and just ordered entrees: all were tasty. the desserts were also great. with two bottles of wine it was a little on the expensive side, but we would definitely return for another special occasion.
Posted by Anon on 09/05/2007
Was suprised at how excellent, varied and good value. Excellent, creative and tasty all round!
Posted by Anonymous on 09/02/2007
My friend and I had a terrific brunch at Telepan. It's a bit pricey but worth it,. I had the trout to start, my friend the crepes - both outstanding. We both had the hanger steak and it was delicious. The food was plentiful, but we decided to share a dessert anyway, and are so glad we did. The peanut butter and milk chocolate gianduja was the star of the meal! The service was friendly without being in your face all the time and efficient. We are definitely returning.

I want to like this place, the idea of this place is great, but the food falls short. It feels forced and unnatural. There are some dishes that work; but for a place as pricey as it is, I left disappointed. It's odd: for someone who does the whole seasonal ingredients thing, Bill Telepan's food is all very heavy -- he has the mind set of winter though he is using Spring/Summer Vegetables. And, who needs to experience pork 4 different ways? With ok service, I would say the best way to eat here is to sit at the bar. The seats are comfortable, and the bartenders are attentive and funny, real pros.

I went to Telepan for the first time to celebrate my fiance's birthday. I was very impressed. Great food, perfectly executed. Rabbit confit salad and smoked trout were both excellent starts. We shared lobster bolognese which had wonderful flavor. Her soft shell crabs could be the best I've had. The pork four ways was good but did not steal the show. Overall, a great night. Definitely recommend a visit.

I feel compelled to write a review because there are a few negative ones on here and my husband and I absolutely love this place. We have been to Telepan twice and loved it both times. The chick pea pancakes are delicious as an appetizer. And their fish and steak (especially with the boar sauce) were excellent. Everything tastes incredibly fresh and though they have some simple dishes, there are some very creative ones as well. Their wine selection is also quite nice - they have a Hungarian red that we love. Our waiter was also great - very professional. Definitely a great restaurant and we will be back.
Posted by CusineCrazy on 06/17/2007
I took my time to try Telepan and nade my first visit yesterday with a friend, pre-concert. The amuse bouche was awesome, and really raised my expectations for a great, memorable meal. We ordered the crab poppers to start and ordered a special appetizer, zucchini blossoms stuffed with ricotta cheese. Four miniature crabs were presnted and a fairly large plate of zucchini. Little did I know that the breading on both choices would be the same. Heavy breading on the fried items. The waiter might have told us had he been more professional. Little did I know that the dish was not just the blossoms as served in the South of France, Italy and various restaurants in America, They served the whole baby zucchini with the blossom attached, in the fried, heavy coating. And the zucchini was more than al dente, They were just plain hard. I ordered a sirloin and short rib dish as my entree. While it was acceptable for the sliced sirloin to be room temperature, which it was, rare as ordered and pretty luscious, the small filet, of short rib, the potato and the vegetable mousse were all cold. I flagged the maitre d' (I think his title was something like "Client Services Host") and sent the dish back, while my friend continued to eat his meal. I received the dish back with the statement "You know, the meat is cold because you ordered it rare" never acknowledging that the rest of the dish was cold and not extending an apology. Once food is reheated, it is never what it could have been. It was just disappointing.

Display DriversRadeon HD 4870 Open-Source SupportNow that we have delivered OpenGL benchmarks of the ATI Radeon HD 4850 on Linux, we are turning our focus to the flagship Radeon 4870. For this testing we have dual Radeon HD 4870 graphics cards from Sapphire Technology. We'll be publishing these initial results in the coming days, but for now, we are just letting everyone know that this RV770 GPU also is working with xf86-video-ati after writing a trivial patch for this display driver. Our patch is enclosed.
26 June 2008 - 4 Comments Radeon HD 4850 Works With Open DriverIn our article this morning entitled AMD Makes An Evolutionary Leap In Linux Support, we briefly touched on the fact that AMD would be continuing in their open-source support for the Radeon HD 4000 generation of GPUs. AMD will release register information for the RV770 and the code to TCore and KGrids will help the community developers when it comes to 2D and 3D acceleration. Though, with not much work at all, this afternoon we have the ATI Radeon HD 4850 512MB running with the open-source xf86-video-ati driver! The Radeon HD 4850 will not currently work with the xf86-video-radeonhd driver as it doesn't rely upon the AtomBIOS in these areas, but in this article we have enclosed our patch and other information for using this open-source driver on AMD's latest hardware.
19 June 2008 - 12 Comments AMD Makes An Evolutionary Leap In Linux SupportLess than a year ago we shared with you the revolutionary steps AMD was taking to deliver significant improvements to their once infamous proprietary Linux display driver and at the same time the work they were doing to foster the growth of an open-source driver for their latest graphics card families. These steps have certainly paid off for both AMD and the Linux community at large. AMD's proprietary driver is now on par with NVIDIA's Linux driver and there are two open-source ATI drivers picking up new features and improvements on an almost daily basis. AMD also continues to publish new programming guides and register information on a routine basis for their latest and greatest hardware. This has been truly phenomenal to see, but AMD has now evolved their Linux support by taking it a large step further. AMD is in the process of pushing new high-end features into their Linux driver -- such as Multi-GPU CrossFire support -- and with the ATI Radeon HD 4850 they have even begun showing off Tux, the Linux mascot, on their product packaging and providing Linux drivers on their product CDs!
19 June 2008 - 96 Comments AMD Catalyst 8.6 Linux DriverIn AMD's usual fashion, this afternoon they have announced the release of new display drivers for both Linux and Windows. The Catalyst 8.6 release for Linux introduces a few bug fixes, version 2.0 of their driver installation API, and a few unannounced features are present. As always, we have the run-down for you on this month's changes.
18 June 2008 - 157 Comments The People Behind Mesa 3DFollowing our article looking at the state of X.Org (along with announcing the release of X Server 1.4.1), we proceeded to share the contributors behind the X Server -- both the individual developers and companies involved with fostering the growth of this important free software package since 1999. What we hadn't looked at in that analysis was the people and companies behind the work on Mesa 3D, or the OpenGL component used by X. In this article, however, we have these statistics to share.
15 June 2008 - 4 Comments AMD Talks About Stream SDK On LinuxLate last month AMD had announced the release of the Stream SDK for Linux. This Stream SDK brings support for the CAL and Brook+ libraries on Linux. The version released was Stream SDK 1.1 Beta, which arrived at the same time as the SDK for Windows XP. With this new Linux support, we ran a small Q&A session with Michael Chu, who serves as the product manager for AMD Stream software. In this article are AMD's answers to some of the questions asked by members of the Phoronix Forums.
6 June 2008 - 6 Comments NVIDIA 173.14.05 Display DriverNVIDIA's last Linux display driver release was just shy of two months ago when they had unveiled the 173.08 Beta driver with compatibility for the GeForce 9800 series and other new GeForce 9 parts. Prior to the 173.08 release was version 171.06, which was another beta release, and the last official release being NVIDIA 169.12 from February. NVIDIA this morning has released the 173.14.05 driver, which marks the return to their old naming convention, but it doesn't bring many changes compared to the recent beta releases and just a regurgitated release announcement.
28 May 2008 - 45 Comments Gaming With The Open-Source R500 DriverFrom the release of Mesa 7.1 Release Candidate 1 to Multi-Pointer X being merged to master to the R500 3D milestone, it's been an exciting past 24 hours for the X.Org community. With the open-source 3D support for the Radeon X1000 "R500" GPUs now reaching a parity with the Mesa support for earlier ATI Radeon product families, more Linux users can now consider turning to an open-source driver (xf86-video-ati or xf86-video-radeonhd) for their video driver needs. In this article we are looking at what Linux games work thanks to this latest Mesa R500 support.
28 May 2008 - 24 Comments Open-Source ATI Driver Achieves 3D SuccessWhile the RadeonHD developers have been busy working on Radeon HD 3200 / 780 Series support and other features for this open-source ATI R500/600+ driver, the DRM (Direct Rendering Manager) support has been lagging behind. Earlier this month Matthias Hopf was successful in getting DRM working on an RS690 GPU and he has published RadeonHD DRM code into his personal development tree, but no code has yet to reach master. Meanwhile, as the xf86-video-ati driver is using AtomBIOS, they are able to spend more time working on the 3D features and other areas and less time "banging on registers" or even waiting on register documentation to arrive. David Airlie has been working on the R500 3D support along with Alex Deucher and Corbin Simpson. The trio has been making some great headway towards open-source 3D goodness for Radeon X1000 and HD 2000/3000 GPUs. Their most recent efforts have focused around the R500 fragment program code and today they have reached a monumental milestone.
27 May 2008 - 70 Comments RadeonHD Driver Delivers AMD 780 SupportThe AMD 780 Series Chipsets have been available for nearly four months now, and supporting the Radeon HD 3200 graphics since day one has been AMD's proprietary Catalyst driver. On the open-source side, there has been the Radeon HD 3200 / 780G support quite quickly through the xf86-video-ati driver due to its use of AtomBIOS, but the support within the RadeonHD driver hadn't arrived until earlier today. Thanks to 22 code commits made to the mainline xf86-video-radeonhd git tree, it's now possible to use this newest AMD integrated graphics processor with this Novell-spawned driver.

Wind Turbines Kill a Few Birds
michael posted more than 11 years ago | from the cuisinart dept.
991Guppy06 writes "The Houston Chronicle has an article about how a 7000-turbine windfarm in Altamont Pass, California (the world's largest collection) has killed an estimated 22,000 birds during the past 20 years or so of operation, 'including hundreds of golden eagles, red-tailed hawks, kestrels and other raptors(.)' There are efforts to keep the operators from renewing their permit until they take measures to protect bird populations. To put things in perspective the article goes on to point out that the Exxon Valdez spill is estimated to have killed around 250,000, while the whole story can just about be summed up by one quote by a biologist: 'When you turn on your lights you kill something, no matter what the source of electricity.'" Killing 3-4 birds per day doesn't seem too bad. It's a shame that larger, rarer birds are getting killed, but... How many birds would die from the acid rain that a coal power plant would cause?

[300] Evaluation of 2358 Breast Needle Biopsy Cases: Patients with Pure Atypical Flat Lesions Could Be Spared Surgical Excision
Rin Yamaguchi, Maki Tanaka, Jun Akiba, Yoshiki Naito, Hirohisa Yano. Kurume University School of Medicine, Kurume, Japan; Social Insurance Kurume Daiichi Hospital, Kurume, Japan
Background: The management of atypical flat lesions and other atypical ductal/lobular hyperplasia remains under discussion and the terminology used is confusing. In the present study, we focused on atypical flat lesions with other atypical lesions and low-grade ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS).
Design: We examined the subsequent surgical results and follow-up data on borderline lesions and low-grade DCISs for 2358 needle biopsy cases.
Results: There were 17 cases (0.72%) with pure flat epithelial atypia (FEA), 44 (1.87%) with pure atypical ductal hyperplasia (ADH) and three (0.13%) with pure atypical lobular hyperplasia (ALH). In addition, there were 18 cases (0.76%) with ADH + FEA, three (0.13%) with ALH + FEA and one (0.04%) with ALH + FEA + ADH. The total number of cases with borderline lesions was 86 (3.65%). Subsequent surgical excision revealed the following incidences of malignancy: pure FEA (1/8) vs. pure ADH (17/31) (p = 0.0489); pure FEA (1/8) vs. FEA + ADH (7/10) (p = 0.0248); pure FEA (1/8) vs. pure FEA + ALH (2/3) (p = 0.152); pure ADH (17/31) vs. FEA + ADH (7/10) (p = 0.265). Among the 2358 cases, 703 had cancer and 155 had DCIS. Pure clinging carcinoma, monomorphous type (; pure FEA) was not seen in the 78 cases (50.3%) with low-grade DCIS. None of the cases of low-grade DCIS recurred during a follow-up period of 925.6 ± 429.9 days.
Conclusions: The pure type of clinging (monomorphous) DCIS (pure FEA) was rarely seen, especially in surgical specimens. After diagnosis of pure FEA using needle biopsy, follow-up findings including imaging data indicated that its appearance did not change during the follow-up period. Thus, we concluded that patients with pure FEA could be spared surgical excision, and that FEA is a more appropriate term than clinging (monomorphous) carcinoma or flat type DCIS.

Musharraf wants to enter into Pakistani Politics with a Big Bang
May 13, 2010 by TMO · Leave a Comment
I will surely be in Pakistan before the next General Elections for one last contest: Musharraf in Houston
"You have mentioned in your English and Urdu newspapers that return of Musharraf is imminent. Now I will have to prove this statement," said former President of Pakistan General (Retired) Pervez Musharraf, while talking to Pakistan Chronicle & Pakistan Journal Newspapers Publisher Tariq Nehal Khan and Marketing & Distribution Manager Mohammad Jameel Siddiqui, at luncheon held in his and his wife Mrs. Sehba Musharraf's honor at the residence of famous Houston Attorney Nauman (Noami) Hussain. One day before this luncheon meeting, General (Retired) Pervez Musharraf and his wife had reached Houston and had meetings with members of a reputable think tank.
Large number of Pakistani Community and American personalities were present on the luncheon occasion, including Stephen Prentiss Payne, a most famous American lobbyist from Houston, Texas, who has been Mr. Musharraf's lobbyist in Washington, D.C.; Counsel General of Pakistan in Houston Aqil Nadeem and his wife; Former City Councilman Masrur Javed Khan; Former Pakistan Cricket Board Chairman Dr. Naseem Ashraf and many more. Sumptuous luncheon of Mezban Restaurant and Demasis Mediterranean Restaurant was served.
Naomi Hussain introduced Pervez Musharraf as the person, who after President Bush said either you are with us or with the terrorists; stood besides USA. Musharraf started his ten minutes presentation by thanking Naomi Hussain & his wife and everyone in the large gathering and said whatever he did after 9/11 was first in the interest of Pakistan, then of the world and of course USA.
Talking about his political future, he said disinformation is being implanted into various Pakistani media that when I recently visited Washington, D.C., not a single important person met me. If it is not for privacy issues, he said he would have mentioned the names of top officials, with whom he had concrete talks; and that would have meant restless days and sleepless nights for these persons, who are merely doing false propaganda.
Former President Pervez Musarraf said that ground realty is recently I started my face-book and got the most clicks by any person in a day in the whole world, resulting in an interview with Becky Anderson of CNN in London England. I do a Q-&-A session every 14th day on my face-book and 85% of the people want me to return to Pakistan and play a positive role in the political arena of Pakistan. Several seasoned and credible politicians of Pakistan recently met him in Middle East and everyone wants his return. Nature is with him in that he is the only alive notable personality of Pakistan, who has the chance to take politicians, bureaucracy and arm-forces of Pakistan together and that present & future of Pakistan needs a personality, who especially has these credentials.
He said at present with no real responsibilities and traveling to various places for speaking tours, he is living very peacefully and in serenity. But when calls to return for the betterment of Pakistan reach him, they make him to think hard and he is at presently considering to remain living comfortably or returning to Pakistan and work hard to make the country the best in the world. He said he is strongly inclined to return as Pakistan comes first; for sure before the next national elections and final word will be coming from his camp within the next two months.
"I just do not want to return and be a mediocre player in Pakistani politics. I want to return with a big bang and give Pakistani people a real third choice in politics, where present government has failed miserably in resolving issues and problems have compounded, while on the other hand, we have Nawaz Sharif & PML (N). Mr. Sharif has some kink in his brain, as he is always confronting with some; previously with 4 Generals and presently making agreements with the government but then at time becoming angry and at other times remains quiet. I have called Mr. Sharif a Closet Taleban, who as in Urdu we say have beard in the tummy; he is most dangerous for Pakistan and for everybody. I am sure I will able to provide the most viable Third National Choice in the next elections. Pakistan deserves better leadership and if I do not try, that will not be good. I am not scared of failure. I will give it the best try," said Musharraf amidst applause.
General (Retired) Pervez Musharraf said there is figure of Pakistan, who is more than 25 years veteran politician, but now-a-days dormant (he said he does not want to give his name). When recently he called him to get suggestions about future and referenced the scene from a famous cowboy movie, where only one bullet is left and person is contemplating to go back for one last fight or not. Musharraf was told by this politician that it is better to go back for one last fight and he may very well find this dormant politician besides him.
Former President of Pakistan Pervez Musharraf said the way so many people have here to Naomi's home, similarly people in other cities, like recently Chicago have met him. But all this effort is scattered. He said if you see him to work hard for Pakistan and Pakistanis, it is necessary that those who are in favor of my thumping return to Pakistan, collect their resources and efforts.
Finding Mates Made Easy for Muslims
April 22, 2010 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Nuran Alteir, In Focus News
Finding a spouse that meets your religious needs has never been easier since Marry Me Muslim launched in Nov. 2009.
Now you can look for potential spouses by answering simple questions, from personality to family life.
Founder Nabeel Khatri said he created the site because of his experiences when looking for a wife.
"In our culture, because we don't date, we don't really know much about the person we're going to marry," Khatri, a 33-year-old network engineer, said.
One of the things he learned from his first marriage was to ask more questions.
He is now married to his second wife after a divorce, which he said was because he didn't ask enough questions. He met both his wife and his ex online, he said.
Mainly, the two groups of people who would join the site, and others like it, are those who are facing a divorce stigma and those who just can't find someone they click with.
But Marry Me Muslim is open for all types of people looking for marriage.
One user, who wished to remain anonymous, said she heard about the site from Khatri's wife and that her experience so far has been pleasant.
"I love how the site is set up," she said. "It is different from some of the other matrimonial sites out there."
She specifically liked how the answers matched users up. There are more than 100 questions that line users up with someone based on how many common answers two users have. When searching, users with the most in common with you will be at the top.
The user said she thinks matrimonial sites, in general, are great for people who don't have a lot of "networking" in their community.
"Online, there are a lot of people you're able to interact with, people you may not be able to find otherwise," she said.
The site is devoted to single Muslims. Men who are already married are forewarned that if discovered, their account will be removed.
"As Muslims, we understand the nature of polygamy in Islam," the page reads. "However, this site has been developed specifically for single Muslims interested in finding a marriage partner."
Khatri said he heard of Muslim men looking for second wives on other matrimonial Web sites and didn't want that kind of atmosphere on Marry Me Muslim.
Muslims, he said, should ask a lot of questions before saying "I do," but what it comes down to is that they don't.
Carter Fasts with Gazans

Carter, Religious Jews Fast With Gaza
Palestine Chronicle
Former US President Jimmy Carter and his wife fasted in solidarity with the people of the Gaza Strip who are living under siege.
About going without for day Carter laughed it off and said, "I didn't miss the food at all, but I missed water."
He said, "I spent all day thinking of the people of Gaza and the harsh conditions of life imposed on them by the embargo." The former US President said that he prayed for the Palestinians of Gaza while fasting for the first time in his more than 80 years of life.
Jimmy Carter said that he had received a call from Khahamat religious Jews in the United States who told him that they had already begun fasting once a week in solidarity with Gaza and its people, and asked him to join them, but he and his wife decided that they would do so alone and already had started to do so.
Carter's speech came during iftar, the evening meal, held at the Grand Park Hotel in Ramallah. It included members of the Elders, a group of world leaders founded by Nelson Mandela, and a number of Palestinian intellectuals, businessmen and representatives of civil society institutions.
During the meal to break the day's Ramadan fast, the group exchanged views. Desmond Tutu said, "I've heard many Palestinian and Israeli youth. I have heard things that are very impressive, but I felt the presence of hope in spite of the occupation and the suffering of the Palestinians that it causes, which is very important."
Speaking of politics, Carter said, "We must not forget that all the Israeli settlements to the east of the Green Line are illegal, how can you talk about a settlement freeze" in a clear reference to what is being talked about these days from the current US administration led by Obama.
Hell Hath No Fury…
August 20, 2009 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Sumayyah Meehan, Muslim Media News Service (MMNS) Mideast Correspondent
As William Shakespeare wrote, "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned."
Those words came to life this past week in the state of Kuwait as a raging fire engulfed the tent of a wedding party that was in full swing following the nuptials of a young groom and his beautiful new wife. The swiftness of the blaze took everyone by surprise as the tent–where bride, female guests and children were celebrating–was turned to ashes within three minutes.
There was little chance for victims to escape as the burning tent collapsed on those who were unable to find an exit, then the electricity failed, thus cloaking any rescue attempt in darkness. More than 20 fire trucks and emergency personnel were dispatched to the scene. But it was already too late. Anyone who did not get out at the start of the blaze was shrouded in what remained of the melted tent. Even more victims died in the stampede to get out of the engulfed tent. The death toll stands at 46, with more than 80 injured with severe burns. Authorities expect the death toll to rise, as many victims remain in critical condition. The bride managed to escape, but her mother and sister both died in the blaze.
As the story unfolded the following morning, with some saying that it was just an accident possibly caused by the air conditioners used to cool the tent, it was difficult for even investigators to be sure of exactly what happened. That was until the arsonist turned herself into the authorities. She turned out to be the first, and recently divorced, wife of the groom. So far her name has not been released to the media, however the 24-year-old woman fully confessed to the crime based on the 'bad treatment', which was meted out to her by her husband and his parents during the marriage. In her confession, the first wife said that she only intended to disrupt the celebrations. When the police told her that more than 45 people had died and that it was one of the worst disasters to ever hit Kuwait in the past 40 years, she collapsed in tears. Eyewitnesses have since given the police more incriminating evidence. The woman's housemaid said that she had seen her carrying a large bottle of gasoline and had asked the housemaid to bring her the day's newspaper. Authorities now believe that she soaked the newspaper in the gasoline and then ignited it outside the tent.
In her confession she revealed that she took two separate taxis to the venue of the marriage. She hid outside of the tent and doused the gasoline around it before lighting a match and fleeing. The arsonist also revealed that she had exchanged SMS messages with her former in-laws during the day and was further incensed by their replies. She even told her ex-husband that she would burn the wedding tent down, but he did not believe her.
Doctors specializing in the treatment of burns have already arrived in Kuwait from Britain and Germany. And the Ambassador of Bosnia and Herzegovina in Kuwait has offered to transport victims of the fire to Bosnia for treatment or dispatch a team of doctors from his country to Kuwait. In a new development both Kuwaiti citizens and expatriates have rallied together to donate much needed blood to the victims. An estimated 1,100 people have donated blood at the country's blood bank since the fateful incident.
Family members of the victims have already buried their dead in local cemeteries with many praying openly that the arsonist will receive the full punishment from authorities. Kuwait Airways has also stepped in to offer immediate flights for family members of the hospitalized victims, who are on vacation in different parts of the world, to help them return to Kuwait as quickly as possible. His Highness the Amir of Kuwait has sent condolences to all of the victims and their families. The Amir has also said that he will not receive congratulations on the upcoming Eid-al-Fitr holidays to show solidarity and express his remorse for the victims.
It remains to be seen what justice the arsonist will receive as she has not yet been put on trial. However, her vengeful actions have forever changed the course of innumerable lives, including her own.

Specifications, Availability and Pricing
I figure I should cover why the U Stand is called what it is first, then we can get down to what makes it tick. This cooler is made with an adjustable frame on it. This allows the entire top aluminum component to raise it, and with the use of a thick metal support, allows the unit to have a total of five positions of use. Why is this important? Well, for those who like to use an additional keyboard and mouse to go along with the laptop, they now have positional height adjustment to raise the level of the monitor. For someone like me who uses a laptop right along side of my desktop PC, I can save room and raise the level of the monitor to a more appropriate level next to my 40" Samsung I use.
Now I think we can address the specs since I got all of that out of the way. The U Stand is made from plastic for the base and supports that hold the aluminum top in place. There are a pair of "holders" on the front of the unit which have rubber pads as well as a long rubber strip on the top that will secure the laptop from vibrating its way off the Stand. The all black unit weighs in at three pounds and is quite large to accept up to a 17" laptop on it. Cooling the U Stand is a pair of 100mm fans that are in frames that can be mounted almost anywhere under the coolers top. They can deliver 70 CFM of airflow with only the use of the 5V USB connection that powers the U Stand. On the side of the unit you will find a power on/off switch for the fans, three SATA ports and a blue LED to denote connectivity.
If the idea behind this notebook cooling solution has intrigued you thus far, you may have to wait for your own. As I write this I know that Cooler Master had the embargo set to the last week of August and it takes a bit of time to stock shelves. This in mind, I have to give them leeway on the availability, but what about the pricing you may ask? I didn't get an MSRP sent with my information packet, but I was actually able to locate one e-tailer that is showing stock of the U Stand. I know the shop is pretty random, but TheNerds.net are asking $36.99 to give you some idea of the price point it will come in at. From what I have seen so far in the $40 range of coolers, they typically don't offer much, so let's see if Cooler Master can raise my expectations a bit.

Thanks to many of the wonderful members of this Forum, after 6 years I now have a wonderful butterly and bird garden. Today, I saw my first hummer for the year, quite early for me. It took a sip from one of the spikes of my sage plant, one of my earlier WS treasures. This was also the first time I've seen a hummer take nectar from this plant. So who's seen hummers so far this year? Unfortunately, I've never been able to get a photo. That'll be my next challenge. |
Follow-Up Postings:
We saw our very first hummingbird of the season about 2 weeks ago. Very early for us, as not much was blooming yet. He was flittering around our deck area. We usually have 2-3 that seem to stick around by our wall of trumpet vine, but that hasn't set any flowers yet. When it does we sit and watch them in the early evening - such buzy, beautiful, tiny creatures! |
New -to-me gardens and I don't have many perennials yet, more like an acre of neglected mature shrubs and trees (good hummingbird habitat)...we're working on it, is going to be a while :) There is a wide circular drive and one entire side is lined with pots of things I dug and moved, I've got no place ready to plant them still. (November move) I have a few decades of ivy to get out of here :( DH hung a feeder before we'd even moved in. And, maintained the winter feeders at our former house until we listed and sold last month - he picks up our tech for work every day across the street so was on the block anyway was his reasoning. Our Anna hummers don't migrate and are with us year round and they are tons of fun, entertainment... I've been treated to a rufous this year when I usually just see those in passing. This one has been here daily for the last 6 weeks, it looks like a spray painted ping pong ball, very chubby little guy. And talk about territorial, if outside this office in the area of his 'restaurant', he's right in your face, squeaking and whirring. Visitors are startled and duck, we're used to him :) |
I've seen a couple of hummers over the last two or three weeks. Thanks to winter sowing I also have a garden full of good hummingbird attractors. When cutting back my clematis vines this spring I found a tiny, tiny nest. Maybe a hummingbird nest from last year. Who knew? |
Yes definitely, I've got a hummingbird garden in the back yard, but there are plants all over the yard for the hummers to nectar on. My first sighting is usually in late May or early June, on the Aquilegia or Heuchera. I haven't seen the resident hummer yet, but I've heard her a couple times. Last year, I kept thinking I was hearing one, but didn't see it. Hummingbirds will return to the same location year after year, so I figured out there must be a new resident hummer, and she is an extra hyper little bird that zooms around the yard at top speed. Once the Monarda starts blooming, I see the hummingbird(s) regularly. The Monarda is followed by Lobelia cardinalis, and then the Salvia - Yvonnes, Lady in Red, and Black & Blue. Those are the top 3 in my gardens, but there are an assortment of other plants they like too. I've watched numerous aerial dogfights over the cardinal flower. |
I've had a hummer neglecting my feeder but feasting on my hanging pot of wave petunias right next to the feeder. I don't really care what they feed on - as long as they are around! |

Humming Birds have been here in my neck of the woods since mid May. Didn't have anything blooming at the time for them...just had the feeders up :) Next year hopefully this years Columbine....and lots of it....will be in bloom when they arrive! I picked up some red blooming Heuchera and got them sowed, but still waiting for germination...it's been a good 3 weeks already! Right now they visit the German Catchfly, Petunia and last years Black Prince Snapdragon is just starting to bloom. Soon enough the Four O'clock, Impatiens balsamina, Nicotiana and Verbena bonariensis will be blooming too. Don't have much in this new garden for the hummers....YET lol! Vera |
I get hummingbird moths that love the honeysuckle but no hummingbirds as of yet. |
I have seen a couple of hummers. After my first sighting I had to run out and find something for them to feed on. I don't have much in bloom yet. My annuals seem really stunted this year. Only one red nicotiana about to bloom, the others are just laying there, no stems yet. My tallest Yvonne salvia is only about 6" and there are many that are stunted without first true leaves yet. I bought a hanging wave (pink) petunia and a (fushia) million bells and also some salvia - purple, red and coral. They are very shy of me this year. So far. |

I saw my first one of the year in early May, way too early for Colorado. There was absolutely nothing blooming in the area, we had below freezing temps and snow! I didn't think he would make it but put out a feeder and kept swapping them out when they froze. He made it through the cold temps just fine. Thought we'd have a huge hummingbird season with seeing that one so early but has been pretty normal since then. We had an enormous pine tree behind the deck that they nest in every summer. |
October, we had a cool and wet June here, so the annuals are probably a bit behind. My Salvia seedlings are still small 4-10 inches. The zinnias are only 4-6 inches, and the Tithonia is somewhat taller, with several over a foot. The morning glories are just getting going up the trellis. I'm not too worried, by August and September they will all be putting on a show. The red noid Monarda is now blooming like crazy, and the Raspberry Wine is getting going - and I am finally seeing the hummer daily and sometimes multiple times a day! |

I am fairly new to this but after only 2 yrs of hard work have had 2 hummers in the last week, an adult nectaring on my Salvia ŌĆśVan RemsenŌĆÖ (very tall and the same general type as ŌĆśBlack and BlueŌĆÖ) and a juvie flying around and eyeing my new Salvia ŌĆśAmistad.ŌĆÖ Here are pictures of my salvia. If you have time, click Next through the salvia to pics of my new Blue Passionflower, a host plant for the Gulf Fritillary butterfly. But I havenŌĆÖt seen any eggs yet! Thanks, northerner, for this wonderful topic. |
I just got an adorable feeder at a yard sale. I need to buy the stem/plug for it since it was missing. I was wonder if it would be better to mix sugar and water or local honey and water to feed the hummingbirds? We don't have any in our yard, but I'm sure they'll turn up. |
No, No, No. Never honey. Only white sugar mixed 1 part sugar to four parts water. I'm not sure it matters if you boil or just stir, I do boil mine then cool before washing feeders (including feeding ports and rinsing very thoroughly) then refilling. A honey water solution can quickly become toxic and even deadly. Honey rapidly ferments and may culture a deadly bacterium. No brown sugar, molasses, or artificial sweetener either. Your feeder is adorable. Functioning garden art, it will serve two purposes :) Just use plain sugar and water, no food coloring, no anything else. One part sugar to four parts water is adequate calories to sustain and fill them up. |
Dovetail, I didn't think to mention last night - if you haven't been seeing hummingbirds in your yard and want to attract them to that feeder, they might find it more quickly if you tie a piece of red ribbon to it temporarily until they've become accustomed to it as a food source. I know it doesn't need the pretty design altered to look lovely, but you may notice the hummers may need a bit of tantalizing to come in close and investigate. When we moved to this house I was seeing a hummingbird darting around these office front windows as I worked - week after Thanksgiving :). DH had put a feeder in back off the kitchen, but I had hung a Christmas wreath with nothing on it other than a red bow on the outside of the hallway door. They saw the bow immediately, were checking it for food :) I didn't have a wreath for the main front entrance yet that week then used bronzes and golds, no red to tease them. |
I was thinking about the red thing! I don't like to use dyes, so I was thinking of something red, a bow would be Perfect! I love little hummers, I'm so excited to see them again.<3 the bird store lady said if I keep the feeder out they'll come all winter on their way to Mexico. |
That is a pretty feeder Dovetail, and yes they usually have some red on them to attract the hummers. I decided to put a feeder up in July, which I have only done 2X in 8 years. This is because it got very dry, and the town started watering restrictions, so I thought the nectar would dry up on the hummingbird plants. Then we had plenty of rain, and now it's dry again. Anyway, I've seen up to 3 hummers at one time, and they are constantly tussling with each other over the feeder or the flowers, they love them both. It's very entertaining! River, how is your Salvia guaranitica coming along? I've got about 6-8 'Black & Blue' plants and 5 seedlings which are just getting going. Salvia 'Yvonnes' is also starting to bloom. The Salvia 'Lady in Red' has been going strong for weeks, as well as the Lobelia cardinalis, and the tall Zinnias all of which the hummers love. |

Thanks to everyone who kept us up-to-date with their hummingbird sightings. River_crossroads, thanks for your beautiful photos. The only purple salvia I have is purple rain which attracts lots of bees and butterflies, but no hummingbirds. I actually just returned from a vacation in Barbados (late July to Sep. 18) so I missed the hummingbirds here but there are lots of hummingbirds there. I believe I saw them daily feeding from a variety of flowers whose names I don't know. It was quite fascinating. Now it's time to take all those beautiful annuals down. But then...there's always next year!!! |

Toothbrush for Braces
Wearing braces for correcting the irregular pattern of teeth is only half of the job done. You need to devote additional time and energy to your oral hygiene and maintenance from the moment you have braces on. It always helps to carry a portable dental kit when you have braces on. The kit should ideally include  Your regular toothbrush or a travel toothbrush  Toothpaste  Spiral Dental Brush  Dental Wax  Folding cup  Floss threaders and dental floss  Interdental picks  Tissues  Mirror This portable kit comes in handy especially when you are traveling and you have all your necessary dental supplies with you. There are a number of good electric and regular toothbrushes in the market that can be used to clean your teeth. There are some brands which have specifically designed toothbrush for braces. When you are wearing braces, it is difficult to maneuver the brush around the different corners of the mouth. It becomes difficult therefore if you are using the regular toothbrush to clean your teeth effectively. These toothbrushes have an angular head and handle that makes it easy to reach all corners of the mouth. The bristles are soft and rounded so that it is much more soft on the gums. While you are using a toothbrush for braces, it might take little longer than usual to brush your teeth. You need to place the brush against the gums and be careful not to hold it against the braces. Gently move the brush head in circular motion. This will help to clear away plaque or food particles that might have been deposited at the base of the teeth. Now you need to gently move the bristles under the wires of the bristles. Begin from the upper set of teeth and then move on the lower set. You might have to push the bristles while doing so. However, it is necessary to clean your teeth properly while wearing braces as food particles tend to get easily stuck on the wires of the braces. Maintaining oral hygiene will help to prevent tooth decay. Electric Toothbrush Replacement Heads BBQ Brushes |

Car shows have always been an important institution for the automotive community. Not only do they serve as a showcase for both car manufacturers and owners, but it also serves as an opportunity for enthusiasts to see the past, the present, and the future of the automotive industry. However, some shows carry more weight than others. Due to a combination of history, participants, and patrons, some car shows are more than just car shows. One of the shows that can be lumped in that rarefied territory is Autosalon Genf. What is this show all about and what can you expect to come in its 2014 iteration?
Autosalon Genf is considered as one of the most important car shows in the world. In fact, some analysts believe that this is the world's most significant car show. Better known as the Geneva Motor Show, this event is held annually at Geneva, Switzerland. With its 84th iteration scheduled this year, this show will certainly house the who's who of the automotive world under one roof. Before going further, one must answer this question: why is Autosalon Genf such a significant event in the automobile calendar? Here are just some of the answers.
- It has massive history- The Geneva Motor Show housed just about every significant car that passed the annals of automotive history. The evolution of the internal combustion engine-driven machine was virtually documented by each holding of this show, but it also housed cars using alternative powertrains, ranging from today's hybrid engines to the steam engines coming from a century ago. This show has seen the debut of legendary car models, and it has also seen the introduction of automotive technologies being used up to this day.
- It congregates all the best car brands- Autosalon Genf is highly reputed for it brings just about every car brand, major or minor, from around the world, together under 1 roof. This has something to do with the show's history, but it also has something to do with geography. Shows such as the Tokyo Auto Show and the Detroit Auto Show tend to showcase their nation's own cars more extensively (Japan and USA, respectively). However, it can be said that the playing field is even at Geneva. This can perhaps be owed to the fact that Switzerland can't really claim to have its own automotive industry. Because of these circumstances, you're likely to see more variety in this show.
- It shows the present and the future of the automobile- Autosalon Genf is considered to be a showcase for everything related to the automobile. This show is known to be a showcase of cars you're about to see on roads around the world. Various automobiles, ranging from legendary models entering their next cycle of production to supercars that defy what's possible for a production automobile, regularly make their debut in Geneva. Also, prototypes that showcase technologies you'll see on the road in the future or showcase potential plans for car manufacturers are also present, capturing the imagination of both fans and analysts alike.
- It showcases more than just automobiles- Autosalon Genf is more than just about cars. It is also a celebration of the automotive industry as a whole. One of the major attractions in this show is the introduction of significant partnerships, technical breakthroughs, and technological updates. It also allows people to get up close and even have discussions with the bigwigs and policy makers responsible for shaping the world's automotive industry. These side events give people a better view of the big picture of what's going on in the world of cars.
Those are just some of the reasons why Autosalon Genf is unlike any other car show in the world. Every year, something interesting happens that add to the legend of this car show. The 2014 version of the Geneva Motor Show promises to bring all the thrills enjoyed by its fans for more than a century already. While much of the details about the upcoming show is still shrouded in mystery (after all, even big car companies are known to love surprises), there are some information being linked about potential participants. And if these "sneak previews" are to be followed, it's realistic to expect that Autosalon Genf will once again be filled with highlights.
The following are some of the cars expected to grace Geneva Palexpo, the home of the Geneva Motor Show. This is just a partial list of some of the cars confirmed to appear in the 2014 Autosalon Genf. More cars and prototypes are expected to be announced between now and March 6, the official start of the 2014 Geneva Motor Show, and more are expected to be unveiled by surprise. Regardless, here are some of the cars that are confirmed (or at least rumored) to make an appearance in Geneva.
- Audi TT- The third-generation Audi TT is scheduled to be unveiled at the 2014 Autosalon Genf. This popular sports car, available in coupe and convertible variants, has been wildly successful around the world. This fully-new model, expected to be unveiled as a 2015 model, is armed with all kinds of changes both inside and out. While other details are still under wraps, it is easy to expect that this car will be one of the biggest attractions come show time.
- Audi A1 and S1- The A1, Audi's entry in the subcompact market, is scheduled for a minor facelift. This update will be shown to the world at the 2014 Autosalon Genf. Updates are not just skin-deep, as revisions in both the interior and chassis are scheduled to be made as well. Equally anticipated is the release of the S1, the tuned version of the A1. Designed to give hot hatches all over the world a run for their money, it's reported to be armed with Audi's Quattro 4-wheel drive system and the 230 horsepower engine used in the S3.
- BMW 2-Series Active Tourer- The new 2-Series is about to have a new station wagon variant. The body frame may remind some people of the X-Series crossover SUVs due to its design, but this car is merely an expansion of the 2-Series portfolio which currently includes sedan and coupe variants. The Active Tourer is expected to be powered by any of the following engines: a 1.5 liter turbo, a 2-liter turbo seen in the Mini Cooper S, or even a 2.5 liter engine. This car is to be released later this year.
- Citroen C4 Cactus- At first, people dismissed the Cactus as a mere test mule. But as spy photos and a future appearance in the 2014 Autosalon Genf will show, this car seems very much destined to become a production car sooner rather than later. Designed significantly different from the current-generation C4, this car is expected to be the middle product between the C4 and the more upscale DS3. More importantly, the Cactus is scheduled to be the first car to use PSA's much-hyped Hybrid Air engine.
- Honda Civic Type R- The legendary pocket rocket is about to get an update this 2014. This car is expected to be not too different from the prototypes and test mules seen recently. One of the biggest headlines for this car is the installation of a turbocharged 2.0 liter VTEC engine with direct injection. This powerplant will channel its maximum output of 276 horsepower directly to the front wheels. The performance potential of the 2014 Civic Type R is unquestionable, as Honda is reported to be targeting the Nurburgring lap record for front-wheel drive cars with the help of this car.
- Hyundai Genesis- The Genesis is scheduled for a full makeover for the 2015 model year. This update is forecasted to make an appearance at the 2014 Autosalon Genf, after it stole the show in the 2014 Detroit Motor Show just weeks ago. The Genesis that will show up in Geneva is not expected to be all that different from the one that showed up in Detroit, meaning it would garner more than its fair share of attention. Engine options include a 3.8 liter V6 engine with 311 horsepower and a 5.0 liter V8 engine with 420 horsepower.
- Hyundai Intrado- Hydrogen fuel cell technology has been branded as one of the future technologies for the automobile. Hyundai is about to make a stab on this technology with their latest prototype, the Intrado. This car, created by highly reputed car designer Peter Schreyer, is a small SUV that seems to take aim at cars such as the Nissan Juke, the Volkswagen Tiguan, and the Porsche Macan. The presence of the Intrado is an affirmation of Hyundai's intention to build and sell fuel cell cars by 2015. Even this early, experts say that the Intrado is one of the must-see cars at Geneva.
- Lamborghini Huracan- This car, scheduled to make its debut at the 2014 Autosalon Genf, has some massive shoes to fill. It is set to be released as a 2015 model as a replacement for the Gallardo, which is one of the most popular Lamborghinis ever created. If there's any indication from various spy photos and leaks, it is that the Huracan is more than up for the challenge of filling in the Gallardo's shoes. Utilizing some of the styling cues found in the Aventador, the Huracan has a 5.2 liter V10 engine with a maximum output of 610 horsepower.
- Lexus LF-NX- This car made its first appearance in the 2013 Tokyo Motor Show and is about to make its European debut at the 2014 Autosalon Genf. A high-performance compact crossover, this car seems ready to take aim at present sport crossovers such as the BMW X1 and future sport crossovers such as the Porsche Macan. An all-new turbocharged 2.0 liter 4-cylinder engine with an estimated output of 240 horsepower will be installed in the LF-NX. Its unique design is not just aesthetically shocking, but it is also very much functional.
- Mercedes Benz S-Class Coupe- The CL-Class coupe has long been the standard bearer for full-size, 4-seater coupes. However, due to the cancellation of the CL line, a coupe version of the S-Class is being prepared to replace it. A prototype version of this coupe was first seen at the Frankfurt Motor Show, but it is reported that the prototype that will show up at Geneva would be the one closest to the upcoming production model. The standard engine to be used in this car is the 4.7 liter V8 engine found in the S-Class. An AMG version of the coupe is expected to be introduced later in the year as well.
- Mercedes Benz C-Class Estate- The C-Class has long been Mercedes Benz's bet in the highly-competitive luxury midsize car market. A wagon version of this car, nicknamed the C-Class Estate, is to be formally introduced at the 2014 Autosalon Genf. Designed to compete against contemporaries such as the BMW 3 Series Touring and the Audi A4 Avant, this new wagon is based on the new MRA modular platform that reduces weight and improves driving dynamics. A number of engines are set to be introduced in the C-Class estate, ranging from a 1.6 liter diesel to a 4.0 liter, AMG-tuned V8.
- Mini John Cooper Works- This prototype was first seen in the recently-concluded 2014 Detroit Motor Show. While Mini announced that this car is still a prototype, there are strong indications that the Works is soon to find itself in production very soon. A firmer suspension setup, an aerodynamic body kit, bigger brakes, and an upgraded 2.0 liter turbo engine make the JCW a sportier ride compared to its siblings. As Mini would say themselves, this car is "hardcore driving fun". This car should garner a lot of interest in its Autosalon Genf appearance.
- Peugeot 308 SW- The estate version of the successful compact car Peugeot 308 is scheduled to be unveiled in the Geneva Motor Show. Setting its sights on compact wagon counterparts such as the Volkswagen Golf and the SEAT Leon, boot space is estimated to be at a class-leading 610 liters. The main engine for this car is the 1.6 liter BlueHDI diesel, which boasts an impressive 85g/km carbon dioxide emission figure.
- Qoros 3 Hatchback- This is the second car (after the 3 Sedan) to be released by upstart Chinese car manufacturer Qoros. The hatchback is based on the same platform as the sedan, but the hatchback is markedly more stylish. Among the modifications done in this car include a new roof, C-pillars, rear side panels, and boot. It is constructed with the same standard as the sedan, which was named by the Euro NCAP as 2013's safest car. Scheduled to make its debut in the 2014 Autosalon Genf, other details about this car is still under wraps.
- Rinspeed XchangE- This prototype by Swiss car company Rinspeed plays with the idea of creating an autonomously driven car. Said to be modeled after the Tesla Model S, this electric car is slated to be one of the most compelling prototypes to hit the Geneva Motor Show this year. Other than being autonomously driven, the XchangE is also notable for having an interior that rivals those found in the business class of the best trains and airliners.
- Volkswagen Polo- This subcompact car is slated for a facelift just like its stablemate, the Audi A1. The biggest changes would be the addition of adaptive cruise control and adjustable dampers. Engine choices are rumored to be similar to the current engines offered to the Polo, but the inclusion of the 1.0 liter, 3-cylinder engine found in the up! might become an option too. A sporty variant inspired by the Polo's recent WRC success, the Polo R, might be introduced. A 4-wheel drive system combined with a 2.0 liter TSI engine will make the Polo R a true hot hatch.
Those are just some of the cars expected to make an appearance on the showroom floor of the 2014 Autosalon Genf. More information about participants are expected to be uncovered in the coming weeks, but if this current list serves as any indication, the 84th Geneva Motor Show is guaranteed to be an epic one. The show is scheduled to start at March 6, 2014 and will run until March 16. Don't miss out on the best the automotive world has to offer. The 2014 Autosalon Genf, just like its previous versions, is shaping up to be epic!

Umbro Youth Neon Soccer Shin Socks
You get what you pay for!
the plastic ripped through the socks the first time using them!
January 12, 2015
small shin guard placed too high
The medium (for ht about 56 to 63") shin guard itself is too small for my 4'9" daughter ! also despite the ankle cushioning there are almost 2" of uncovered shin below the shinguard. I returned them.

Our little guy loves them. He says they are comfortable and he likes the ankle guard. I think the color is his favorite feature though because they match his favorite soccer cleats. I love that I can always tell which kid is ours on the field - he definitely stands out since most kids have black socks :-)

Easy to use
These are really easy to use and are more comfortable then the other types of shin guards available.

Great for Grade K-2
We love these guards. They are a lot easier to put on then traditional guards. They do not offer the same ankle support as traditional guards.
