7 Obnoxious Behaviors That Should Be Punishable By Death
But you're probably right. Wishing death is mean-spirited and juvenile. Fortunately, those are two characteristics I really rely on for generating Internet content, so here are seven people who deserve to die for seemingly minor offenses and my suggested methods of capital punishment:
#7. People Who Take Forever to Order at McDonald's
I try not to eat fast food too frequently. After all, once you're over 30 those Calvin Klein underwear modeling gigs are harder to come by, and I want to look my best. But if I'm in a McDonald's, odds are I'm in a rush. And the good people at McDonald's appreciate that. That's why they only make about ten things and even package them in numbered meals with brightly displayed pictures over the cashiers. You can be incredibly high and incoherent and still successfully stumble into Mickey D's, utter "Number 1," and get fed in less than three minutes. Feeding morons cheaply and quickly is what they do. That would even be their slogan if it didn't do so poorly in focus groups.
$5.54 and three minutes is all you need for poison, dummy!
Yet, despite the cheap and easy menu, I'm often behind someone who is hell-bent on cranking every mathematical permutation between buying dollar menu items a-la-carte and purchasing a value meal. And these people are usually bad at math. Now I get that some McDonald's customers might not have unlimited funds, and they're trying to get the most bang for their buck, but there comes a limit. I know what it's like to have so little money in your checking account that the bank won't let you withdraw it. I know what it's like to then go to McDonald's to rely on the ATM swipe, knowing you'll get fed due to the checking account's overdraft protection. But I do not know what its like to stand in front of a cashier for three minutes adding up a pie, burger and soda while comparing it to a value meal. McDonald's is one of the biggest corporations in the world. Do you really think you're gonna come up with some mathematical purchasing equation they haven't already priced to your detriment?
Not commensurate riddles.
The offender is given three minutes to solve an algebra problem before the bomb strapped to their head explodes. Also, regardless of answer, the bomb explodes.
#6. People Who Create Gaps In Lines
Ever been in a long line behind someone who feels the need to create a three to five foot buffer between themselves and the people in front of them? No one likes waiting in long lines. It's a drag. And yes, it's kind of sad how we get excited when the line advances a few inches, and then we step up a few inches. But, y'know what? That's how lines work, and it is absolutely unacceptable not to move up when the people in front of you do. I know you think you're sending a message that you're some bold individual too unique and brilliant to do exactly what every other member of the line is doing, but that's not the message we're hearing. What we're hearing is, "Look at meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! I'm so cooooooooool. Does it bother you when I don't move up? Oh, you silly line person. I pity you. I'm free from the dictates of the line!" And we hate you for it. We hate you so much. You have no idea. Actually, you might have some idea. You see the distance between you and the person in front of you? If inches were buckets of acidic hate, that's how much.
For some reason my search for "the worst person alive" did not return an appropriate search result.
Place offenders in a line up above molten lava. If the offender does not advance appropriately, the floor drops out beneath them. However, after ten minutes of avoiding death by advancing appropriately, the offender is beaten to death with rocks.
#5. People Not From Jamaica Who Sing With Jamaican Accents In Reggae Bands
Look, I like reggae as much as the next guy. (Unless the next guy is a dirty hippie who likes reggae then I don't really like reggae at all.) In any event, you might be surprised to learn that not every single dude in a reggae band is Jamaican. Did you know that? I know it might be hard to believe with all those happy Jamaican inflections that taint all the vocal phrasings, but it's true! Bob Marley and Peter Tosh? Yes, Jamaican. That dude in the college band that plays at Sigma Pi? He's from New Jersey. But he has dreads you say! True, but his name is Leonard Appplebaum and he's white.
Actually, this is hairstyle on a white guy can be sufficient grounds for death regardless of accent.
There is no law that reggae has to be sung with a Jamaican accent. Look at UB40. (Just look, don't listen because, y'know, they suck.) But yeah, singing reggae in a fake Jamaican accent is as absurd as being from California and singing like you're some punk rock Brit, and no one would be douchey enough to do that.
Oops. (Looks like I'm getting more Green Day hate mail.)
Death by pot brownies laced with arsenic. Or after getting high, leaving offenders in a room with chocolate chip cookies laced with arsenic. Or just telling the offender they can get high by smoking arsenic and letting the rest take care of itself.
I hear it's got a killer buzz, dude.
#4. People Who Steal All The Cheese By Grabbing One Carefully Selected Nacho or French Fry
Cheese fries and Nachos. Two delicious treats that thrive on the theory that if you pile up a bunch of starchy carbs and drizzle it with cheese, people will eat it. Not really a theory. More of a maxim because people will eat anything drizzled in cheese. Now as anyone who's ingested these treats knows, perfect cheese distribution is nearly impossible. Some chips and fries will get a lion share while others will be deprived of the precious dairy and that's not really anyone's fault. I suppose the chefs could build these concoctions in layers, ensuring a more egalitarian cheese-distribution, but that's a lot to ask. It's just something we accept.
But some people (some reprehensible, awful people) take advantage of this situation. They grab the chip or fry with extra cheese. Even that's forgivable. There are probably whole bunches with extra cheese so when you're sharing everyone can get a good one, right? I'm talking about something far worse. I'm talking about people who snag the nacho or fry that is strategically tied to every other fry or nacho on the top layer. With one selfish surgical strike you can convert those cheese-drizzled nachos or fries into plain old dry chips and fries, stealing all the deliciousness for yourself. An offense punishable by death.
Appropriate Death Penalty
Covering offender in cheese and feeding to tigers. Cheese optional.
Cheese totally optional.

The Cooper School's origins were very humble, serving 13 students six years ago in a converted 1950 duplex on Saint Andrews Boulevard.
The private K-5 school has been expanding ever since and took a dramatic step recently with an expansion that not only increased its size but also created an eye-catching form for those driving past on the busy highway.
The school had worked with architect Eddie Bello of McMillan Pazdan Smith, says Principal Kate Shorter, and their goal for the expansion was to create a structure that expressed the school's culture.
"We're a progressive school, and part of what that means is we're thinking about what is contemporary in our society," Shorter says. "We are also a school that believes in community and believes in collaboration among students and teachers."
Toward that end, Bello found himself with a teaching role, as did workers with contractor Tupper Builders Inc. They all interacted with students to discuss the design and construction of the new wing.
This part of Charleston has been in a dramatic state of flux, as growing traffic makes the small homes built on a once quiet road less desirable to live in.
But Charleston never has been a place to tear down large swaths of the past, not in its historic downtown or in its 20th century suburbs.
While a mix of offices, shops and other institutions like the Cooper School increasingly occupy what were once residences, there has been a continuity of height and scale, even as architectural styles have branched out.
The new Cooper School addition blends with the duplex in color and height, but its single-story, large windows and shed roof also have a big impact, serving as a sort of announcement of the school's arrival here.
A cantilevered bay toward Saint Andrews makes the building appear lighter, while a tall piazza on the northern and western facades shades the building and provides an important gathering space for students. The piazza's northern edge follows the old property line.
Inside, the space can be divided into two class areas separated by a large glass pane and a series of moveable panels that double as bulletin boards.
The shed roof angles down toward the 1950 duplex to help maximize the height of the windows and the amount of natural light. One reason the bulletin boards are on the panels is there wasn't enough wall space left for them.
While the school is progressive, Shorter says it also respects the lessons of the past, such as connecting with the outdoors.
Its enrollment is now at 73 students, and the school plans to add 15 more students next year. It has bought the former house at 13 Oakdale Place and uses that property for its office and vehicular access.
A gray fence with horizontal slats creates a sense of separation and security between the school's classroom buildings and its office, while also being something one can easily see through (sort of like a chain link fence, but with far superior aesthetics).
The school is expected to continue to grow — the current hyphen between the original school and its new addition eventually will serve as its front door, while a two-story addition is planned for a corner of its playground area.
Even with the expansion, space remains at a premium here, but it's also pleasing to see how little of it goes to waste.
"We believe creativity and innovation happens in well-organized spaces," Shorter says.

Several prominent American far Left leaders joined representatives of Hezbollah and other terrorist organizations at a conference in Beirut to discuss strategies for supporting Hamas and opposing Israel and American interests in the Middle East.
The conference, titled "International Forum for Resistance, Anti-Imperialism, Solidarity between Peoples and Alternatives," was held on January 16-18, 2009, and hosted by the Consultative Center for Studies and Documentation (CCSD), a Hezbollah-affiliated think tank.
The conference was co-sponsored by several international far Left groups, including the International Campaign Against U.S. and Zionist Occupations, an umbrella organization that coordinates international opposition to Israel and to American military presence in the Middle East.
The International Campaign Against U.S. and Zionist Occupations was co-founded by the International Action Center (IAC), a self-described "anti-capitalist and anti-imperialist" organization founded by former U.S. Attorney General Ramsey Clark.
In addition to Clark and representatives from the IAC, the American delegation included former Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney.
The conference was also attended by representatives of several Palestinian terrorist groups, including Hamas, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, as well as the Iranian Ambassador in Lebanon, Mohammad Rada Shaybani. George Jabour, the head of the Syrian delegation to the United Nations and former advisor to the Syrian President, reportedly attended the conference as well.
One of the largest delegations came from Venezuela, reportedly consisting of 30 members including parliamentarians. Victor Chirinos, a member of the Venezuelan Parliament, expressed the greetings of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez to the participants in the conference.
The conference's resolutions express support for "the Lebanese and Palestinian resistance fighters in the face of the Zionist occupation, and the Iraqi resistance fighters in the face of U.S. occupation." They also support the "right of the Afghani people in resisting the American and NATO occupation." They call for anti-Israel advocacy to push to "reinstate the United Nations resolution 3379 that equates Zionism with racism" and expel Israel from the UN. They specifically ask supporters to attend the UN Durban Review Conference, which is scheduled to take place in April in Geneva. The resolutions also express support for Iran's nuclear program.
The conference was the latest in a series of events held in the Middle East that have enabled international far Left groups to make common cause with terrorist organizations. During an interview in 2008, Hezbollah representative Abdul Halim Fadlallah explained that Hezbollah has "succeeded in incorporating the idea of resistance as part of the international anti-globalization movements."
American far Left groups involved in such gatherings view Hezbollah and Hamas as the frontline in what they believe is a global war against U.S. imperialism and capitalism.

Apparently engagements are contagious amongst the Mad Men cast.
Just three days after news broke that the show's former actor Jared Harris proposed to Allegra Riggio, one of the show's current stars, Linda Cardellini, has also announced she's a spouse-to-be!
"I was surprised that it was happening at that moment," Cardellini, 37, said on Friday's episode of The View, of fiancé Steven Rodriguez's proposal.
"We were actually with some of the people I love most: my sister, and my cousins and one of my best friends Maura [Tierney] … and we were sitting, and he started getting choked up and then got on his knee. It was very beautiful."
The newly-engaged couple are parents to 15-month-old daughter Lilah-Rose.

BEDFORD - Police on Tuesday extradited a New Jersey man to Pennsylvania, where he faces nearly 200 charges for exchanging sexual photographs and comments with a 15-year-old Bedford County girl.
The cross-country case extends to Colorado, where investigators first apprehended 38-year-old Edward Gutierrez in a January online sex-chat sting.
Gutierrez of Robbinsville, N.J., was charged in Pennsylvania after Colorado police investigating his phone found photos of a girl in a Bedford High School cheerleader's uniform, according to an affidavit.
The case allegedly began in November, when Gutierrez received an erroneous Facebook friend request from a 13-year-old Colorado girl who'd mistaken him for a young friend. After receiving the request, Gutierrez allegely sent the girl a series of suggestive messages, which prompted her to contact the Jefferson County, Colo., District Attorney's Office.
Colorado detectives created "Jordan," a fictional 14-year-old, to draw Gutierrez to the state, police said. From November to January - the same time he was allegedly exchanging online messages with "Jordan" - Gutierrez was allegedly sending highly sexual text messages to the Bedford County 15-year-old.
Gutierrez flew to Colorado, allegedly for a sexual rendezvous with the fictional teen. Colorado police arrested him on Jan. 18 at a Wheat Ridge, Colo., restaurant parking lot, the Times of Trenton newspaper reported.
While searching Gutierrez's phone for evidence, officers found photos of a teenage girl: some nude, some featuring a Bedford High School cheerleading uniform, police said.
Colorado police contacted their Pennsylvania counterparts after Gutierrez allegedly admitted to the sexual exchanges.
"I think he was planning to meet her," Bedford County District Attorney Bill Higgins said Wednesday.
Bedford Borough police identified the girl and forwarded the information to Colorado authorities.
The Bedford County teen acknowledged the exchanges to police, noting that she had both sent and received sexual images with Gutierrez, police said.
Colorado authorities released Gutierrez without bail shortly after his arrest but ordered him to return for hearings and to avoid non-work-related computer use, the Trenton newspaper stated.
In March, state police in Bedford filed charges for the alleged text conversations: 196 counts of unlawful contact with a minor - most of them first-degree felonies - and a single count of corrupting a minor.
"I found [the texts] to be very sexually explicit in nature," State Police Trooper Matthew Auker said in a criminal affidavit.
Gutierrez was arrested in New Jersey and extradited to Bedford County on Tuesday, state police said in a news release.
Magisterial District Judge Kathy S. Calhoun set his bail at $150,000; he remains in the Bedford County Prison, according to court documents. Gutierrez faces a preliminary hearing Wednesday.

Actually, 2 of my friends and I are throwing a baby shower tomorrow - I made 5 of these yesterday & have 5 more to make this afternoon. I'll probably use them for my wedding, too! ;)
{I think I'm the only one in my church who makes these, so they aren't overused yet...}
These are much easier than what I'm in the middle of right now. I'm making one that involves a paper lantern, tulle, and hot glue. It's a big pain in the butt, but I refuse to give up! It's for a baby shower, but I think I'll hang it in Peyton's room just because it's taking so long to finish!ReplyDelete
Um awesome? Yes, I think so!ReplyDelete
love goonies... let my kids watch it, even though it has bad language and inappropriate humor. call me a bad mom. it's a classic.ReplyDelete

glad to see you don't have to buy martha's and spend twenty bucks. thanks for sharing. enjoy your weekend.ReplyDelete
A) LOVE,LOVE,LOVE the Goonies! We watched it every day one summer as kids...and we quoted it every day that same summer! Booty Trap!ReplyDelete
B) Love tissue pom-poms! Made them for my daughter's first birthday, then hung them in her room after the party was over. I love your tutorial!
My name is Wendy and I am a pom-pom addict too. Ha! I made a dining room full of these babies for my sister's highschool graduation. Actually they adorned the living room and kitchen too!!! And there are a couple yellow beauties hanging in my daugher's room right now! :)ReplyDelete
Have a great weekend!
Cute Idea! I am trying to add more red into my kitchen and make it a little more funky...maybe I 'll add some of these this weekend. Thanks for the tip!ReplyDelete

LOL!! Love the goonies quote...goonies was on tv the other day so now it is on our dvr and the kids love it. We have watched it twice already. What a classic. Anyway love the pom pom tutorial. I can't wait to make some with the girls for their room.ReplyDelete
Love this! I made one today, as soon as I read your blog! But I only had 4 sheets of tissue paper, and one of them isn't even the same tissue! It still looks good though, and I will be making more soon! Thank you, thank you lovely lady! xReplyDelete
Yes -- they're still gorgeous even if everywhere...it's the fluffing out part where things go wrong I find. Love your little pom lesson! Have a great weekend :)ReplyDelete
Thank you for sharing this!! I really want to make poms for Jett's birthday party (coming up in 2 short months - sad face). I can always count on you to show simple ways to make things - love! :)ReplyDelete
phew! i thought i was the only one.ReplyDelete
I saved this post for "later" and just made my first pom-pom. I may become an addict...ReplyDelete

The prosecution and the defense in the Ali-Mohamed Mohamud murder trial rested Wednesday after jurors listened to a medical examiner describe the extensive injuries he is accused of inflicting on his 10-year-old stepson, Abdifatah.
Mohamud's defense team did not call any witnesses, and Mohamud did not take the stand.
Of the nearly 70 blows inflicted on the boy, four were lethal, said Erie County Chief Medical Examiner Dianne R. Vertes.
The boy's head was separated from his spinal cord during the beating, and the crushing of the boy's head exposed the brain, she said.
Prosecutors have said Mohamud struck Abdifatah about 70 times with a hardwood baker's rolling pin, shattering the boy's skull, leaving bruises all over his body, breaking two ribs and damaging his internal organs.
The number and extent of Abdifatah's blunt-force injuries were equivalent to someone falling from a four-story building onto cement, Vertes said.
"These were caused by a significant amount of force," she said of the boy's injuries during questioning from prosecutor Thomas M. Finnerty.
Vertes testified that she could not determine precisely how much time passed between the first and last blows to the boy.
"It didn't happen in a short period of time," she said.
The extensive bruising on the boy's body indicates he was alive for much of the beating, she said.
Vertes also said she detected a stab wound on the boy's left arm during the autopsy.
Fluid in his sinuses indicated a near-drowning, she said.
The boy's vomiting during the beating, during which duct tape was placed over his mouth, indicates suffocation as well, she said.
Michelle Lillie, a forensic biologist, said testing showed the presumptive presence of Abdifatah's blood on a steak knife and rolling pin that police recovered from Mohamud's Guilford Street home.
A police detective testified Tuesday that Mohamud, a 41-year-old security guard, admitted fatally beating his stepson during an interview in Police Headquarters several hours after the boy's body was discovered April 17 in the basement of the family home.
Closing arguments will be heard this morning, after which the jury's deliberations will begin, said State Supreme Court Justice Christopher J. Burns.

He's been a bit lost in the shadow of Niagara goalie Carsen Chubak, who leads the nation in save percentage, shutouts and goals-against average, but Canisius netminder Tony Capobianco is also having a statistical dream season.
He lowered his 1.84 goals-against average to 1.79 (10th best in the country) and improved his .939 save percentage to .941 (T-sixth) Sunday night by allowing no more than one goal in a game for the eighth time this season. Unfortunately, his victory total didn't increase as Joe Kozlak's goal with 2:09 left in overtime was the difference as Army salvaged a split of the Atlantic Hockey Association weekend series by beating the Golden Griffins, 1-0, before 785 at the Buffalo State Ice Arena. The Black Knights won an overtime game for the first time since beating Mercyhurst, 3-2, in OT on Jan. 7, 2006.
The loss is just Canisius' second in seven games.
Army (6-8-2, 6-3-2) outshot the Griffs, 36-25, as Rob Tadazak earned the program's first shutout since Jan. 22, 2010. He made 15 saves in the third period and overtime as Kozlak scored the winner after receiving a pass from R.J. Burns, who drove to the Griffs' net on the play.
Canisius (6-8-4, 5-4-2) returns to action at noon Saturday against Bowling Green at the Ice Arena.
WOMEN'S BASKETBALL: Ashley Wallace (Starpoint) scored a career-high 22 points for Buffalo State (4-6) in a 71-58 loss to the University of Rochester (8-2), which has participated in six of the last seven NCAA Division III tournaments.

Emergency calls from people aboard a plane that crashed at San Francisco International Airport portray a scene of chaos, with passengers begging for help and saying ambulances weren't coming fast enough.
The California Highway Patrol released the 911 calls late Wednesday.
One caller tells a 911 dispatcher: "There are no ambulances here. We have been on the ground 20 minutes."
Another tells a dispatcher there's a woman on the runway with severe burns to her head. The caller says, "She will probably die soon if we don't get help."
Asiana Airlines Flight 214 came to a tragic end when the airliner, which came in too low and too slow, crash-landed on Saturday, killing two passengers and injuring many others as it skittered and spun 100 feet.
San Francisco officials say ambulances could not come too close out of concern that the plane would explode.
Also regarding the crash-landing, it has been learned that as Flight 214 descended over San Francisco Bay, both pilots were trying something new.
In the left seat of the cockpit sat Lee Gang-kuk, a 46-year-old pilot with 35 hours of experience flying a Boeing 777 who was landing the big jet for his first time at San Francisco International Airport. At his right was Lee Jeong-Min, a trainer making his first trip as an instructor pilot.
While the two men had years of aviation experience, this mission involved unfamiliar duties, and it was the first time they had flown together.
Investigators trying to piece together what went wrong are looking at the pairing of the pilots, who were assigned to work together through a tightly regulated system developed after several deadly crashes in the 1980s were blamed in part on inexperience in the cockpit.
They will also be examining their working relationship, said National Transportation Safety Board chairman Deborah Hersman on Wednesday.

The Maroon 5 singer and model, who got engaged last summer after dating for a year, tied the knot at Flora Farms in Los Cabos, Mexico, in front of approximately 275 of their friends and family on Saturday night.
While the bride wore a custom-made Marchesa dress, the guests – which included Robert Downey Jr., model Coco Rocha and Levine's bandmates James Valentine and Jesse Carmichael – were not held to a specific dress code, according to a source.
Still, their loved ones came dressed for the star-studded affair – and the hot weather – with most of the women donning summer-inspired dresses and many of the men opting for linen suits.
"All the guests were happy and relaxed," says another source. "They were excited to celebrate with the couple on their big day."
The rustic setting – which has a lauded farm-to-table restaurant – has drawn stars like chef Thomas Keller, Ray Romano and George Clooney.
The intimate ceremony capped off a celebration-filled weekend that included a beachside celebration Friday night at the exclusive El Dorado Golf & Beach Club.
Levine, 35, partied with a group of about 50 friends at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas for his bachelor party in March, but the groom recently told PEOPLE he "had enough bachelor parties" in his lifetime and was ready to settle down with Prinsloo, 25.
"I definitely feel like I'm sitting in the chair I'm supposed to be sitting in right now," he said. "It all feels very natural."

Why on earth would you own dairy cattle?
Why on earth would you own dairy cattle?
Hoard's Dairyman columnist, Gary Sipiorski, reminds us why milking cows is still a worthwhile endeavor. And yes, we're talking economics.
With record corn prices (resulting in record bean, alfalfa, other crops, land, and fertilizer prices), why on earth should we convince someone to dairy?
Gary Sipiorski, a Hoard's Dairyman business columnist, asked this exact question to a room of over 150 attendees at the annual Wisconsin Dairy Field Representatives (WDFR) conference. The program included the economic outlook from Sipiorski, an update on antibiotic residues, and a robotic milking panel.
What's dairy's future?
Sipiorski started his economic outlook by setting the stage for why agriculture is so promising. He noted that 1.5 billion people go to bed hungry each night. The earth will grow from about 7 billion people today to 9.1 billion in 2050. In other words, we've got many tummies to fill and will continue to as time goes on.
Not everything was rosy, however. "Greece has over a 20 percent return on investment, why aren't you investing your money there?" Sipiorski quipped. The crowd was shown the percentage of default risk for many countries. Greece topped the list at a 94.97 percent chance, followed by Portugal, 60.94 percent; Argentina, 51.05; and finished with Venezuela, 49.90; Ireland, 46.63; Ukraine, 45.25; and Italy, 46.63. The U.S. was at 3.42 percent. While all countries seemed to be in some sort of trouble, only Norway is taking in more than it is spending.
With the macroeconomic information behind us, Sipiorski asked this year's WDFR field representative of the year, Curt Horman, what he should say to a dairyman who thinks he's going to sell out and go all crop. Horman didn't have a good answer, and in today's economy, who can blame him for the microeconomic decision?
But Sipiorski then showed that, on an acreage basis, dairy still wins today. He noted that the record land purchase of $20,250 per acre (on 74 acres) in northwest Iowa went to a dairy producer.
Here's how profit plays out on a per-acre basis –
One hundred fifty bushels per acre and $6 corn equals $900 income, but net per acre of $200 after considering $550 expenses and $150 land cost. Still, $200 per acre looks pretty good.
We do need to grow soybeans now and then, so lets not forget about them. Fifty bushels per acre at $12 per bushel equals $600 for revenue. But after $300 in expenses and $150 land cost, we have a net profit of $150. Still, not too shabby.
Why on earth would anyone want to own a dairy?
Average of 24,000 pounds * $18/hundredweight = $4,320.
At a 33 percent cull rate and $800 cull cow, ($800/3) = $266.
With 50 percent of bull calves at $50 each, that's a gross total of $4,636 per cow.
Expenses come to $3,941, leaving a net of $695 per cow.
That $695 net should be divided by 3 acres for forage, grain, and youngstock, equals $231 per acre.
While we realize economics and fixed costs are different for everyone, maybe being a dairy farmer in these financial times isn't so bad after all.

Innovation in Practice
Novel features of the Hewlett building earned four LEED innovation credits for strategies and accomplishments beyond the formal criteria:
- A nonpetroleum alternative to asphalt paving
- An extraordinarily high percentage of wood from certified forests
- The exclusive use of nontoxic cleaning products
- Use of the building as a teaching tool
Although not related to the LEED certification, commitment to the practical application of environmental values is also evidenced in the Hewlett Foundation's participation in the Environmental Grantmakers Association's Philanthropy as Stewardship program. This program encourages foundations to take account of the environmental consequences of decisions concerning procurement, office procedures, recycling programs, and other business practices.
Our hope for our building is that it will both inspire our work and contribute to increased interest in environmental technologies.

Batteries don't tend to handle temperature extremes all that well. For owners of the Nissan Leaf who live in areas with colder winters, Nissan has done a decent enough job of insulating the battery and keeping performance from suffering too much. But hot climates are a very different story, and Nissan is starting to get into a bit of trouble with owners in such climates. Owners in Arizona are reporting that their batteries will prematurely drain by as much as 25 to 40 percent in hot weather. And since the daytime temperature in Phoenix usually doesn't dip below 100 degrees until November, Leaf owners spend most of the year getting very poor range out of their cars.
Leaf owners in Phoenix have complained and threatened lawsuits, and Jalopnik reports that Nissan has even had to buy back a few under the state's lemon laws. So a group of Nissan executives flew to Scottsdale and had a meeting with Phoenix-area Leaf owners, where they were able to voice their concerns. The meeting was closed to the press, but afterward, Nissan announced that they would be extending the warranty on the car's battery. Meanwhile, the Leaf owners took to the forums to sound off on how this is nowhere near adequate. The extended warranty is certainly a good thing, but it hardly corrects the day-to-day problems which these owners are still living with. The issue is obviously an engineering one, and hopefully we'll see a solution soon.

NSCLC is "Major Battlefield" as Merck,...
Expanding Use of NGS Has Largely...
Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
Researchers at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia, founded Immunovaccine about 10 years ago. The Canadian government asked them to create a contraceptive vaccine to humanely control seal populations. The resulting vaccine technology was successful not only in seals but also worked on other wild animals including monkeys in Hong Kong.
The scientific challenge for inoculating wild animals was to design a vaccine that needs only a single injection and lasts a decade. "The delivery system was the secret," says Immunovaccine's president and CEO, Randal Chase, Ph.D.
Now researchers at Immunovaccine in Halifax are applying the same delivery system to human vaccines aimed at cancer and infectious diseases. "There are no human vaccines where a single injection lasts 10 years," notes Dr. Chase.
The company's DepoVax™ platform consists of vaccine antigens and adjuvants wrapped in liposomes within an oil depot. Liposomes allow more antigen and adjuvant to be injected compared to oil alone, and they hold the antigen and adjuvant together, resulting in a powerful and long-lasting immune response.
When injected, the combination forms a "depot vaccine" that remains active for weeks to months. A single dose generates strong cellular and humoral immune responses. "The delivery system is basically the same for therapeutic and preventive vaccines," Dr. Chase says.
The DepoVax platform reduces the standard two to three injections of a vaccine needed for optimal immunity to just one, and it gives an earlier onset of protection, according to Immunovaccine. The firm says that in preclinical models, a single dose prevented the growth of tumors and up to 100% of cancer cells were destroyed. DepoVax works with a variety of antigens including peptides, proteins, nucleic acids, and synthetic antigens. The dry formulation can be stored and reconstituted for clinical use.
Immunovaccine says its patent protection is broad and covers combinations of any antigen, any adjuvant, and any liposome mixed with any oil. "We have a rocket booster system that enhances the immune response," says Dr. Chase, and "we can boost the immune response of any vaccine."
To prove the advantages of their platform, researchers at Immunovaccine invite other vaccine companies to take the "DepoVax challenge". Companies send their vaccines to Immunovaccine, where they are reformulated free of charge with the liposome/oil delivery system and then returned to undergo head-to-head testing.
"We believe that we can deliver other people's products better than they can," Dr. Chase says. He notes that for many vaccines, fewer doses are required, because the DepoVax system induces a much stronger immune response. He also adds that the DepoVax challenge has led to licensing agreements on a broad range of applications.

In an emotionally charged show, the Kings of Leon played tribute to a close friend of the band, Jackass star Ryan Dunn, who dies this week. Dunn was killed in a car crash earlier this week. In the penultimate show, Caleb Followill asked the crowd to toast "a friend of ours who's passed away" adding "This is for Ryan" before dedicating and playing "Use Somebody" to him. It follows Jared Followill's tweet hours after the death saying "I'm heartbroken to say that our great friend we made over the last 8 months has passed away. Honestly in shock. Devastated. RIP Ryan Dunn."
Kings of Leon front man Caleb Followill has confirmed that a ongoing row between the band and Glee creator Ryan Murphy is over. Murphy started a tit-for-tat verbal battle after he branded the band "self-centered assholes" for refusing to let him use Kings of Leon songs on the show. He publically apologised last week. Followill said "I'm glad he said something. We don't hold grudges."
After Glee co-creator Ryan Murphy hit out at Kings of Leon for refusing to be part of the show, the band have hit back. Drummer Nathan Followill tweeted "See a therapist, get a manicure, buy a bra. Zip your lip." However after accusations of homophobia the Kings of Leon star removed the post.

American But More So
By 1890, the Upper Midwest was firmly integrated into the national economy. A fully-developed railroad system moved the region's products east through Chicago to New York. Wheat cultivation shifted to the north and west as yields within the region diminished and new lands elsewhere demonstrated their superiority. A spectacular example of the new wheat lands was the Red River valley in far northwestern Minnesota and North Dakota. A kind of corporate farming took advantage of the newly available machinery for harvesting wheat and of vast spaces of flat and virgin (and cheap) land. The bonanza wheat farms, by traditional measure, were gargantuan in size, taking in thousands of acres. The small-scale wheat farms of the pioneer period were hopelessly outclassed.
Farmers had to change their ways. Corn, hay, oats and hogs replaced wheat. Wisconsin repeated and improved upon the experience of Yankee farmers out east who had had to develop dairying as an economic niche in an increasingly specialized agricultural economy. With the help of research and education at the universities devoted to such subjects, Wisconsin became known as America's Dairyland. Minneapolis became the world leader in the flour milling industry, as new technology made possible the grinding of high-quality flour from spring wheat (the kind of wheat grown in the Red River valley) and as investments, some from money earned during the timber boom, supplied the superstructure needed to make and market the flour.
As soon as the means were there, eastern visitors came to the Upper Midwest, marking the beginnings of a thriving tourist industry. Once steamboats reached the upper Mississippi in the 1840s, the "fashionable tour" to the area by Southerners and Easterners soon followed. Mackinac Island, at the head of Lake Michigan, was a well-established summer resort by 1838. The second national park to be created was established on the island in 1875, and its Grand Hotel, built with railroad and steamship money in 1887, became one of the nation's most fashionable summer hotels. These developments were an early phase of the eastern invasion fueled by the notion that a bracing northern climate was good for what ailed you, which was the reason that Henry David Thoreau took a trip up the Minnesota River in 1861. In the twentieth century, transportation was readily available from the big cities of the region to the lakes and birches to their north, and second homes there became a regional fixture, along with the seasonal flow of tourists.
The integration of the region into the national economy brought with it centers of heavy industry. The growth of the auto industry is a dramatic case in point. By 1890, lower Michigan had become a center for the manufacture of various products (e.g., wagons, stoves, furniture) and, particularly, of gasoline engines. Money from timber and mines was available for investment. A few individuals, and notably Henry Ford, moved from tinkering with automobiles to their large-scale production. As we all know, the Detroit area became the pre-eminent center of that vast industry. The Milwaukee area came to specialize in the production of heavy machinery for mines, power plants and heavy machinery, agricultural machinery included; it also, famously, pioneered in the production of a beer that could be shipped long distances without undue loss in quality.
The Upper Midwest has been distinguished by its support of education at all levels. The region took to heart the provisions of the Ordinances, underwriting education as a primary public goal. By 1890, vital public school systems throughout the countryside reached their climax in excellent state universities with relatively low fees and open access and with a tradition of public service. (La Follette's "Wisconsin idea" built upon that Midwestern version of the university.) It was characteristic of the region that the famous Mayo Clinic, in Rochester, Minnesota, privately established, was quick to ally itself with the University of Minnesota in the support of medical research and education, to the manifest benefit of both.

The Upper Midwest region tends to be progressive in its politics, if on the conservative side in its social norms. The politics has been remarkably free of scandal, with a relatively high level of public involvement. Midwest Republicanism is, characteristically, sensitive to social equities and distrustful of dogma (most of the time). The region has experienced its share of independent and third party movements, from the reformism of Hazen Pingree in Detroit and Michigan, to Milwaukee socialism and La Follette progressivism in Wisconsin, to Ignatius Donnelly's Populism and Floyd B. Olson's Farmer-Labor party in Minnesota.
By 1900, the farm country and farm towns of the Upper Midwest were emptying out, and cities began to sprawl. This transformation became complete with the coming of automobiles and reliable roads. When Sinclair Lewis, in Main Street (1920), argued that the real America was to be found in the small town, that the Midwest was American but more so, he betrayed a bias with remarkable staying power, identifying the Midwest as the heart of the nation and the small farm town as the heart of the Midwest. One can see where that bias came from in reviewing what is said above about the years of Yankee dominance, when farming and small towns were the rule. In reviewing the whole story, however, one can't help but notice how quickly regional pioneers looked beyond the farm to the whole range of opportunities in the rapidly expanding region and nation. It is in its vision of continuing sturdy growth, rather than its past incarnation in the farms and the small towns, that the region can properly be described as American but more so.by Clarence Mondale, Emeritus Professor of American Civilization, The George Washington University, Summer, 1998

Crayon Pop's 'Uh-ee' Banned for Shiny Japanese Word
Crayon Pop's new track may be a tribute to traditional South Korean "trot" music, but it's not Korean enough for the nation's notoriously fussy publicly funded television network.
On Thursday, KBS confirmed it had banned the song, "Uh-ee," from broadcast because of the use of a Japanese word in the lyric. The word, "ppikka," means "shiny" in Japanese.
What's wrong with using a foreign word in a song? Well, nothing unless it's Japanese, which still upsets some officials who haven't gotten over the nation's colonization by Japan. That ended almost 70 years ago.
"KBS notified us that 'ppikka' is a vestige of Japanese imperialism and needs to be refined," said Lee Sung-soo, an official at Crayon Pop's label Chrome Entertainment. A spokesman for KBS confirmed the song was deemed unfit for broadcast because of the use of Japanese.
Mr. Lee said the group had changed the offending word to the Korean equivalent "bbunjjuk" and re-recorded the song. The label expects the result of a new review by KBS on Friday. Other TV stations all approved the song with the Japanese word.
Following South Korea's liberation from Japanese colonization in 1945, Seoul imposed a ban on imports of Japanese music, movies, cartoons and computer games. The ban was gradually lifted from 1998, starting with highly popular Japanese "manga" comic books.
An official at South Korea's culture ministry said there were no remaining regulations banning Japanese culture, although some terrestrial broadcasters don't show Japanese programs.
KBS imposes occasional bans on songs and videos, including one showing a singer driving without a seatbelt. In August last year, it banned the video for Psy's single "Gentlemen" because the singer was shown kicking a traffic cone.

Oil companies and governments slammed over Virunga oil exploration
4 July 2012
The committee that overseas World Heritage sites has warned that proposed oil exploration in Virunga National Park in central Africa could cause serious harm - and has urged the government of the Democratic Republic of Congo and the oil companies involved to take action to halt it.
The World Heritage Committee, which has been holding its annual meeting in St Petersburg over the past week, has restated its view that oil development is incompatible with World Heritage status.
British oil company SOCO International has announced plans to begin aerial surveys to map oil deposits in Virunga National Park in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).
Virunga was declared a World Heritage Site in 1979. It's recognised for its unique landscapes and rare animals, including critically endangered mountain gorillas.
Local residents have also expressed concern that pollution from SOCO's exploration in Lake Edward could contaminate fishing waters where 30,000 people make their livelihoods.
The World Heritage Committee has said SOCO's permits do not conform to the DRC's international commitments, and has called on the DRC government to revoke permits granted to exploration companies.
SOCO and Total, the other oil company with interests in the park, were admonished by the committee for not joining other industry leaders in pledging to remain out of all World Heritage Sites.
The committee also called on the countries where the companies are headquartered to "ensure that petroleum and mining companies in their territory cause no damage to World Heritage properties."

"Exciting. Suspenseful. Surprising ending"
I love novels that I don't figure out 'who dun it' long before the middle of the book..it's a challenge for me to conquer the author at his/her mystery writing.
Suspect is my first Michael Robotham novel as well as the first narration by Simon Prebbles that I've listened to..and it was a spectacularly written and narrated listen-one of those books where the Audible version must be better than the print--after all, who can read with a UK accent unless you are from the UK. This includes Liverpudian accents, Welsh accents as well as Londonese.
As other reviewers have suggested, listen to these in order..Suspense being the first and important in setting up the primary characters.
Buy it and ENJOY!
Reading allows me to travel through time; to visit the world's unique and stunning places. To become somebody I am not... It is glorious.
"reviewers love it or hate it -- i loved it"
I read a handful of reviews and found them to be of little help because they were so up and down. But the book was on sale and the publisher's description was intriguing so I took the risk. I am glad that I did because I liked the story very much.
Is the plot far-fetched as other reviewers have claimed? Of course, but it wasn't hard to take the leap. If you watch the nightly news you will see that people are actually crazy and the most preposterous stories are not fiction. I found the tale believable enough. And, to be honest, when I read mystery novels I want to go for a ride. I want to question the story a bit. I don't want it to be jarring so as to take me out of the story, but I do want it to be a story I have imagined myself.
Is the lead character imperfect? Yes. And I love that. I don't enjoy characters who are too glamorous, too pure, too smart, too talented, too accomplished. I want the characters to be likable and detestable at the same time. I want to cheer for the characters and yet hate some of their actions. I want to have pity at times and respect at other moments. I want characters who feel real.
I will read more books by Mr Robotham very soon -- I am buying the second book in the series as soon as I finish this review. And I hope very much that Simon Prebble is the narrator. He was fantastic!
Writing reviews is work. Therefore, I need to be really happy or really unhappy with a book to write one.
"I almost returned it, I didn't get the hype..."
...and then it got its grips in me. If you are a fan of Robert Goddard (many of whose books have mysteriously gone missing from the Audible web site), Charles Todd, Jeffrey Archer, or any of the other, mainly British, writers who feature somewhat flawed and frequently clueless-at-times protagonists; suspension-of-disbelieve-requiring coincidences; and great descriptive writing, give Suspect a chance. A good mystery has you looking over your shoulder.... a great one has you looking over your life.
"Great Book!"
It's been awhile since I've been moved to write a review. Several listens lately have been rather dull. A couple I just couldn't finish. Perhaps I'll give them another shot later. This book, however, keep my attention. The writing was crisp and entertaining. The narrator, a bit overzealous at times, but very easy to listen to. Some would probably say the story was predictable, but it was still a good story.
"It's different...but it didn't quite work"
Suspect had an interesting premise and it buzzed along nicely for a while, but fizzled for me in the mucky third act.
Robotham's prose is effective and keeps the action moving nicely at first - all the players are introduced, the central problem is addressed, and I was thoroughly engrossed in the story.
The second act got a little uneven, but kept me engaged with some zippy plot twists and compelling questions. After some major revelations at the end of act two, the story gets lost in a quagmire. Act 3 staggers to its conclusion but I had more or less stopped caring - even the final revelation, which ought to have been VERY exciting, accompanied as it was by explosions and whatnot, barely held my attention. I stopped listening midway through the epilogue, no longer caring what happened to anyone in the story.
This is my first Robotham novel, and while it didn't really work for me, there was enough to like here that I'll probably try him again at some point. It wasn't perfect, but it was promising.
I am a retired school counselor (middle and elementary) and an avid reader. I am a lover of great mysteries, quirky protagonists, and medical/scientific non-fiction. I travel a lot and love the freedon audiobooks give me to drive, work, and relax while enjoying a good book. On my ipod I have eclectic musical selections as well as audiobooks. I will strive to never steer you wrong in a review.
"Even I started doubting the protagonist"
This was my first book by the author- I have now read two more and have not been disappointed yet. The characters are well-drawn and the plots are ever changing and intriguing. These are the kinds of books that make you want to drive around the block a couple of times so you can keep on listening.
Absolutely! Twists and turns at every juncture but none seemed contrived just incredibly frustrating for the protagonist and the reader who has come to be very committed to him.
The protagonist. A very decent man already fighting a health problem when he is confronted by a very committed enemy.
Very much so. I had a great deal of trouble turning off my Ipod when I got to work in the morning.
Both the narration and the story were way above average here-some of the best I have heard. I recommend this book.
"Great story full of surprises"
So many plot twists with an underlying urgency to find the killer. I do not usually care for first person stories but I enjoyed this book very much.
I like the main character, Joe. He was fighting several personal battles at one time but he forged ahead trusting his instincts. Hold onto your seat, there are many twists and turns.
I liked the reader's voice but there was an intermittent clicking in the recording that I put down to reader sucking on a lifesaver or machine clicking. It was a bit distracting but by then I was hooked and hanging on to see where the story went.
Who can you trust?
I will be downloading Michael Robotham's next novel, Lost.
"Wrong Order"
I managed to read Lost before I read Suspect but luckily that did not detract anything from this book, Michael Robothams main characters are so real, no Hollywood veneer used. I think the richness of detail in the flaws and mannerisms of his characters combined with his plots which like a long carpet that keeps unrolling reveal more detail and story intrigue with every passing page/minute and that makes both Suspect and Lost books that are hard to put down. I want to read more...
I don't know about you, but why are there so so so many 5 star reviews. I LOVE books, but so few are 5 star.
This was actually a good story, but I had serious issues with stupidity Joe displayed at certain points. It was beyond credulity, I almost stopped listening at two points, but ended up sticking it out and did enjoy the book overall. All I could think of was the woman in a slasher film limping along in high heels, he was that stupid and it almost ruined it for me.
I may try another by the same author, but it won't be anytime soon. The publisher's summary was an accurate description of the plot.

No. 12 Men's Volleyball Drops to No. 11 Lewis, 3-2
MUNCIE, Ind. – The No. 12 Ball State men's volleyball dropped another tough 3-2 match this time at the hands of No. 11 Lewis (22-25, 21-25, 25-19, 25-23, 15-13). Senior middle attacker Matt Leske picked up 12 kills and a career-high-tying 12 blocks while senior setter Graham McIlvaine dished out 54 assists and picked up 11 digs.
With the loss Ball State falls to 17-7 on the year and 6-4 in MIVA play. Lewis improves to 17-6 on the season and 7-3 in the conference. The victory gave the Flyers sole possession of second place in the league standings.
Ball State's middle attack of Leske and Kevin Owens picked up a combined 21 of the Cardinals' 62 kills. Leske had 12 kills and a career-high-tying 12 blocks while Owens registered nine kills, four digs and six blocks. Owens had a .400 hitting percentage (9-3-15) while Leske managed a .320 clip (12-4-25).
Sophomore Marcin Niemczewski picked up 15 kills to go with nine digs and eight blocks while junior Matt Sutherland tallied 13 kills and five blocks. Junior outside hitter Shane Witmer had eight kills on the night to go with 10 digs and five blocks.
Junior libero David Ryan Vander Meer got under a team-high 14 digs and passed 41 balls with only one reception error. McIlvaine had a near triple-double with his 54 assists, 11 digs and seven blocks.
The Cardinals started off the match hot with 16.5 blocks through the first two sets to finish with 22.5 for the match. The first set saw 10 tied scores and two lead changes as Ball State hit a match-high .424 attack percentage (17-3-33) while Lewis registered a .312 clip (16-6-32). Ball State called the first timeout of the set after Lewis took a 13-10 lead off a Greg Petty kill. Back-to-back blocks by the Cardinals would get Ball State to within one, 15-14. Ball State would rely on its block to get the set tied at 18-18. Kills by Niemczewski and Sutherland would give Ball State the 21-19 advantage. A kill from Witmer would set up the eventual set-point-winning kill from Owens to give the Cardinals the 25-22 set win.
Ball State's 10 total team blocks in the second set forced Lewis to hit a dismal .026 clip (13-12-39). A McIlvaine-Owens block followed by a Witmer-Owens block would give Ball State a 5-4 lead and it was all BSU after that. Six Cardinals registered kills in the set and only two errors were committed by Ball State. Leske assisted on five blocks while Niemczewski got a solo and three assisted blocks.
Coming out of the intermission, the Flyers relied on the arm of Geoff Powell as he had eight kills off 12 swings in the set. Powell also led Lewis in the set with six digs. Ball State committed eight attack errors and three service errors in the set and hit a .088 percentage in the frame (11-8-34). Lewis went on a key 7-1 run to take an 11-8 lead and did not look back.
The Cardinals led early in the fourth set taking a 7-3 lead causing the Flyers to burn their first timeout. Ball State's first seven points of the frame came off three kills from Leske, two kills from Witmer, a Leske-McIlvaine block and a Lewis attack error. The Flyers would push back forcing six attack errors to take the 17-14 lead in the set. A kill from freshman outside attacker Brendan Surane and a McIlvaine-Owens block would get the Cardinals to within one point, 21-20. The teams would trade points and Ball State would get within one point, 23-22, off a kill from Surane. The Lewis offense continued to run through Powell who netted two of his nine kills of the set in the final points to give the Flyers the 25-23 set win.
The fifth set was back and forth with the score tied eight times and two lead changes. At the switch Lewis lead 8-6, but Ball State would go on a three-point run to tie the set at 9-9. With the set tied at 10-10, Leske would knock in a service ace followed by a kill from Owens to give Ball State a 12-10 advantage. A Ball State service error followed by a kill and an ace from Powell would give Lewis the 13-12 lead. Owens would knot up the set at 13-13 before Lewis' Eric Fitterer would tally a kill to set up the Flyer's match-winning block.
Red-shirt junior outside hitter Geoff Powell had a stellar night for the Flyers with a career-high 32 kills off a .406 hitting percentage (32-6-64). Powell picked up 13 digs and added three blocks, an assist and an ace. Red-shirt senior setter BJ Boldog dished out 59 assists and junior libero Lucas Yanez got under a match-high 15 digs.
The team is headed on its final road trip of the regular season when it travels to Phoenix to take on Grand Canyon. The matches are set for Fri., Apr. 4 and Sat., Apr. 5 at 9 p.m. ET.

The Bravado Washable Nursing Pad is an innovative, absorbent terry-cloth pad with "stay-dry" properties. This is a very thirsty pad (4 layers!) that is sure to keep mom dry and comfortable during your nursing years.
Features of the Bravado Washable Nursing Pad include:
- Two layers of absorbent, terry-cloth. Terry-cloth is a very absorbent fabric. In fact, one layer of terry-cloth is equivalent to two layers of flannel, which makes it a perfect choice for our thirsty breast pad. Darts ensure a form-fitting shape, while the outer layer is cream colour to keep your pads clean and fresh looking.
- A middle layer of white terry-cloth. A specific absorbent zone was created by adding an extra semi-circle layer of terry-cloth below the nipple area, giving the pad an overall trim appearance without compromising absorbency.
- A Cool Max mesh layer that lies against your skin. Cool Max fabric was designed for athletic wear and is specifically formulated to move moisture away from the skin. This promotes air circulation and keeps the sensitive nipple area dry. Studies have shown that Cool Max takes less than half the time to dry as cotton.
Sold as a package of 6 breast pads (3 pairs) and made in Canada by Bravado Designs.
Washable nursing pads are a final sale.

my favourite Review by momto5
Price Value Quality
After nursing five babies, these are my all-time favourite nursing pads. I love that they are stay-dry, and the mesh does not stick to nipples like some cotton pads do. They may be thinner than some pads, but I still prefer them to more absorbent pads even if they have to be changed more frequently, because they are so comfortable. They are also nicer and less noticeable under clothing because they are not very bulky. (Posted on 8/4/12)
Okay for a little coverage Review by Kristen
Price Value Quality
These are really lovely reusable nursing pads, but they're not "heavy duty." If you have a very active let-down, then you will have to act quick if you're only using these. I wish that they were 'stronger' because they are much more comfortable, and they do work better than other reusable pads I've tried. However, many wet shirts later, I'm still searching for a solution... (Posted on 7/13/10)Would you recommend this product to a friend? In the right circumstance.
Comfortable but not very absorbant Review by Amanda
Price Value Quality
I love these breast pads for their comfort - the moisture wicking side is so much more comfortable than some of the cotton or wool pads I have tried and does not stick to sore/cracked nipples. However, as other users have said these are not heavy duty and tend to leak if too wet. They wash and dry really well - high quality. (Posted on 1/4/11)
Not for heavy leaking Review by CINDY
Price Value Quality
I wanted to love these...they are so comfortable and not as lumpy as some under clothing. But I have an overactive letdown and they just couldn't do the trick for me. I found that they leaked through the stitching for me. (Posted on 1/3/11)Would you recommend this product to a friend? In the right circumstance.
