Endorses proposal for connecting Multan with New Delhi
President Asif Ali Zardari on Friday ruled out unilateral withdrawal of troops from Siachen but maintained that Pakistan would do so if India also pulled out its soldiers from the world's highest battlefield.
Mr. Zardari also endorsed a proposal — described as unviable by his own government in 2009 — to connect Multan with New Delhi through Head Sulemanki to boost trade and economic activities.
Responding to the suggestion of the former Prime Minister, Nawaz Sharif, that Pakistan should take the initiative in withdrawing troops from Siachen, he said only a joint withdrawal would be possible. The President made these remarks at Wasawela in the Okara district of Punjab.
His reiteration of Pakistan's stated position on Siachen comes close on the heels of not just Mr. Sharif's suggestion but also the advocacy of demilitarisation of the glacier by Chief of Army Staff Ashfaq Parvez Kayani.
"We are aware of the extreme climate and other difficulties at one of the world's most difficult terrain but the withdrawal can only take place if the two governments decide to pull out from the area jointly," the President said, adding that Pakistan was open to discussing all issues with India.
Stating that the democratic government of Pakistan believed that bilateral trade could bring prosperity to the two developing nations, Mr. Zardari said he discussed ways of enhancing trade ties with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh during their recent meeting in New Delhi.
He urged the federal government to seriously consider connecting Multan with New Delhi through Head Sulemanki to boost trade and economic activities.
However, on March 12, 2009, the then Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi had informed the National Assembly that this was not a viable option. According to him, this was the considered opinion of not just his Ministry but the Interior and Commerce ministries also whose views were sought while examining the proposal to open a new route with India through Head Sulemanki for trade.

Individual Retirement Accounts (Traditional, Roth and Coverdell ESA)
An Individual Retirement Account makes a lot of sense when you are planning for your retirement or your investment future.
There are several different types of IRA's available at Apex, and we can help you choose the one that works best for you.
Traditional IRA
A Traditional IRA is still the best IRA for long-term retirement planning.
Here are some facts about traditional IRAs:
- • You don't pay taxes on these retirement accounts now, when your income is high. At retirement, you can withdraw your funds or roll them over into another option. The taxes you pay after retirement will be considerably lower, because your income will be less.
- • You must be under age 70 ½ to be eligible for a Traditional Nondeductible IRA.
- • Non-working spouses can make fully deductible contributions to an IRA, even if their spouse is participating in a retirement program, as long as the couple's joint income does not exceed $178,000.00 in 2012 and $188,000.00 in 2013.
- • You may be able to withdraw money before age 59 ½ without a penalty in order to purchase a first home (up to $10,000 maximum) or to pay qualified costs of higher education.
- For further information about IRAs, please speak to your financial advisor. Contact Apex to open your IRA today and start saving for tomorrow!
Roth IRA
If you know you will need to withdraw your money before you retire, consider a Roth IRA.
Saving for a down-payment on a house or other large expenditure will be quicker and easier with the higher interest rates paid on a Roth IRA. While you will have to pay taxes now on the funds you deposit, you will not have to pay taxes when you use the money, and you will not incur any penalties for withdrawal after 5 years. Here are some key elements of the Nondeductible Roth IRA:
- • Penalty-free withdrawals after 5 years
- • Tax-free earnings after age 59 ½
- • Contributions allowed after age 70 ½ when you are employed
- • No required distribution at age 70 ½ or in your lifetime
- • Tax-free if used for first home purchase (up to $10,000) or education
- • Tax-free upon disability or death.
Traditional and Roth IRA Annual Contribution Limits
Traditional and Roth IRA tax-year contribution limits are set by the Internal Revenue Code 219(b)(5)(A),(C) schedule:
- • 2012: $5,000
- • 2013: $5,500
Eligible married couples filing jointly can also take advantage of the increases.
Age 50+ Catch-Up Provision
Individuals who are age 50 and older before the end of the taxable year, and before application of the Adjusted Gross Income phase-out limits, can increase their IRA contribution by:
- • 2012: $1,000
- • 2013: $1,000
IRA Share Certificates
Share Certificates (CDs) are also available as IRA investments.
An IRA Share Certificate requires a $500.00 investment, and terms range from 3 months to 5 years. When planning your retirement or your investment future, be sure to consider these higher yield certificates. They can be rolled over at the end of their term into other IRA options, so start planning now!
Remember that early withdrawals do incur penalties.

Drug Addiction Information Basics
Jump to:
Formal Definitions
Understanding the Temptation
Risk Factors
Finding Addiction
Types of Treatment Available
Finding Relief
In a comprehensive study regarding the prevalence of addiction in the United States, published in the journal Evaluation & the Health Professions, researchers suggest that about 47 percent of adults have signs of an addictive disorder within any 12-month period. Some people develop addictions to activities, such as gambling or shopping, while others develop unhealthy fascinations with products like pornography or video games. But the vast number of addictions in this country develop in response to drugs, both licit and illicit.
Most people would claim that they know at least something about how an addiction develops and how it's conquered. But, there's a significant amount of misinformation available about the nature of addiction and the habits and attributes of people who fall prey to these serious disorders. Learning more about the basics, and the statistics, can provide families with an opportunity to provide meaningful help to someone in need.
According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, addiction is a "chronic, relapsing brain disease that is characterized by compulsive drug seeking and use, despite harmful consequences." The abuse of drugs, while generally voluntary in the beginning, falls out of the user's control once addiction takes hold and damage to brain cells begins to reach critical mass. No matter how much drug use might impact an addict, or how much harm might come to that person's family or community, the abuse can persist due to the damage the brain has endured.
The damage drugs can cause might be internal, but the person's behavior can change to such a degree that families may soon notice that something is amiss. The signs and symptoms may include:
- Changes in sleep routines
- Changes in appetite, including significant weight gain or weight loss
- Lack of personal grooming habits
- Odd smells on clothing, hair or breath
- Glazed eyes, bloodshot eyes or change in pupil size
- Unusual mood swings and periods that include excessive irritation and being quick to anger
In time, some people may even lose their lives to addiction, as each little hit of drugs continues to do a significant amount of damage to the brain and body of the drug user. Without help, addiction can be chronic, progressive and fatal.
Understanding the Temptation
Since addictions can be so deadly, some families wonder why anyone would even consider dabbling in drugs. The answer to that question might be deeply personal, but there are some attributes that seem to make experimentation with drugs somewhat likely. Some characteristics might also push a person from mere experimentation into out-and-out addiction.
Genetics, for example, might play a role in the development of an addiction. Variants of some genes can make drugs seem more potent inside of a user, and since those drugs cause huge changes, they might be more appealing and attractive, and that might drive a person into repeated and addictive use. On the other side, some genes might make drug use seem unpleasant or unrewarding, and people with these genes might not ever try drugs again, as the experience they have doesn't appeal to them.
Peers might also play a role in the development of an experimentation or addiction issue. For example, a study in the Journal of Youth and Adolescence found that peer pressure was a significant factor in the development of a substance abuse issue, as was the need to conform to the habits of peers. Just spending time with people who abuse drugs can make teens do the same, and that early experimentation might make an addiction all the more likely.
Read More
During adolescence, the brain is constantly growing and reforming, with connections made and broken over and over again. It's a time of vulnerability, and adding drugs into the mix can lead to significant damage that impairs the portions of the brain that deal with impulse control and planning. An impaired brain like this is simply incapable of making good decisions, and that might make a move to compulsive drug use all the more likely. Similarly, some people seem driven to experience new things and novel sensations. They're inherent risk takers, and they may feel as though nothing terrible could ever happen to them. The feel the invulnerability of youth. People with this personality trait might be more likely to dabble in drugs because they don't see the harm that lies in front of them. They think the drugs will simply be fun, and they may think that high doses of drugs won't cause any damage. People like this might be more likely to both experiment with drugs and develop an addiction, just due to their personality type.
Risk Factors
Anyone could fit into the categories mentioned above, but there are some risk factors that seem closely tied to the development of an addiction issue. For example, experts suggest that having a mental illness could up the risk of both experimenting with drugs and developing an addiction problem. In fact, the National Alliance on Mental Illness suggests that nearly one-third of people who have a mental illness also endure a drug abuse problem. These conditions range widely between drug users and a single drug user may suffer from multiple disorders, including:
- Schizophrenia
- Bipolar disorder or other major depressive disorder
- Post-traumatic stress disorder or other anxiety disorder
- Low self-esteem or negative body image
Some people may develop a drug addiction issue as they lean on illicit substances in order to manage their mental illness symptoms. Other people, however, may develop symptoms of mental illness as a result of their drug use. The issue is complex, but clearly mental distress plays a role in the addiction risk in some people.
Similarly, some people come to addiction through family history. They may see their parents abusing substances on a regular basis, and they may grow to do the same when they reach adulthood. Sometimes, children growing up in households touched by addiction are subjected to physical and emotional abuse, and these children may use substances to numb their memories, and that use might spur an addiction. Troubled families like this are just devastating, in terms of addiction, as the trauma and damage comes on many fronts.
Some people overcome their risk factors by leaning on sober peers. These role models can demonstrate that life can really be worthwhile, even when no drugs are at play, and they might help to display healthy responses to life's challenges. But a lack of peers like this might also make an addiction more likely, as there's simply no way to counteract the urge to use and abuse drugs.
Finding Addiction
Addictions are truly equal opportunity disorders, as they can impact people from all walks of life, as the following statistics make clear:
- Gender. While both men and women use drugs, men tend to develop addictions at a higher rate than women do. However, the University of Utah suggests that 5 to 8 percent of pregnant women are at risk of alcohol-related problems that could impact both them and their babies. Many others use drugs while pregnant. This is clearly a sign of addiction, as women aren't able to give up their substances even when another life is on the line.
- Geography. Residents of both urban and rural areas might fall prey to addictions, but the substances they use might differ. The Treatment Episode Data Set suggests, for example, that 49.5 percent of rural addicts focus on alcohol, while urban addicts tend to focus on heroin or cocaine. The addictions are similar in severity, but the target is different.
- Economics. Addictions are often associated with lower income levels, but the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality suggests that teens from higher socioeconomic status levels tend to dip into substance abuse earlier than teens in poorer homes. Stats like this demonstrate that addictions really can transcend issues of money.
- Race. A study in the journal Archives of General Psychiatry suggests that about 15 percent of Native American youth have drug abuse issues, while 9 percent of Caucasian people and 7.7 percent of Hispanic people had the same troubles. It's not clear why this particular group has an elevated risk, but the study clearly shows that all races are touched by issues of abuse and addiction.
Types of Treatment Available
Since statistics regarding addiction are so very dire, and they seem to suggest that anyone, anywhere can fall prey to the problem, it's vital for families to act quickly to get someone help. Unfortunately, while an addicted person's family and friends might want drug use to stop, many addicts deny the problem. An intervention can be a very effective way to break through that denial and allow healing to begin.
In an intervention, the family outlines the changes they've seen that they attribute to the drug abuse or addiction issue. There's no blaming or judging involved, and the family is encouraged to keep the talk civil and supportive at all times. When the talk is through, the family encourages the person with the addiction to accept the help that a treatment program can provide. Frequently, families even choose a treatment provider in advance, so therapy can begin as soon as the intervention is complete.
There are several options available for the treatment of drug addiction. Some of these options are conducted on an inpatient basis while others are outpatient treatments. Some provide a hospital setting while others are of a residential nature, with private rooms and luxury accommodations. Many top drug treatment programs today offer holistic and alternative approaches to recovery, including equine-assisted therapy, which uses the influence of horses to help the addict figure out new ways to solve problems. Still others operate on the 12-step principles outlined by established recovery groups like Alcoholics Anonymous or Narcotics Anonymous. Choosing the best drug treatment program is a personal decision, but one that is necessary for an addict to get the support he or she needs to enter recovery and successfully redirect their lives.
Once treatment begins, families can stay involved by providing their support and encouragement to the addict. They might offer to drive the person to appointments, or they might send cards and letters to the person's inpatient program, if that option is chosen. Some families even participate in family therapy sessions alongside the person with the addiction, learning more about how they might help to keep the issue from returning when therapy is complete. In interventions, family members will often write letters to be read if the patient is considering leaving treatment early, against medical advice (AMA). Integrating family members into treatment gives the patients greater likelihood of success.

Individuals who choose to use drugs over the welfare and benefit of their own children, the needs of their families, or their employment and ability to earn a living is suffering from drug addiction by the accepted definition.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2014
Where did the English Hallett family come from? What is the English Hallett family crest and coat of arms? When did the Hallett family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Hallett family history?The ancestors of the name Hallett date back to the Anglo-Saxon tribes of Britain. The name is derived from when the Hallett family lived in the county of Kent where they were known as the dwellers at the hall or manor.
It is only in the last few hundred years that the English language has been standardized. For that reason, early Anglo-Saxon surnames like Hallett are characterized by many spelling variations. As the English language changed and incorporated elements of other European languages, even literate people changed the spelling of their names. The variations of the name Hallett include: Hallett, Hallet, Hollett, Hollet, Hollitt and many more.
First found in Kent where they held a family seat from very ancient times, some say well before the Norman Conquest and the arrival of Duke William at Hastings in 1066 A.D.
This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Hallett research. Another 245 words(18 lines of text) covering the year 1690 is included under the topic Early Hallett History in all our PDF Extended History products.
More information is included under the topic Early Hallett Notables in all our PDF Extended History products.
Many English families tired of political and religious strife left Britain for the new colonies in North America. Although the trip itself offered no relief - conditions on the ships were extremely cramped, and many travelers arrived diseased, starving, and destitute - these immigrants believed the opportunities that awaited them were worth the risks. Once in the colonies, many of the families did indeed prosper and, in turn, made significant contributions to the culture and economies of the growing colonies. An inquiry into the early roots of North American families has revealed a number of immigrants bearing the name Hallett or a variant listed above:
Hallett Settlers in the United States in the 17th Century
Hallett Settlers in the United States in the 18th Century
Hallett Settlers in the United States in the 19th Century
The Hallett Family Crest was acquired from the Houseofnames.com archives. The Hallett Family Crest was drawn according to heraldic standards based on published blazons. We generally include the oldest published family crest once associated with each surname.

Here's movie director Quentin Tarantino (left) -- and the sassy plastic puppet Madame (right).
One of them was a bizarro mentor on "American Idol" this week.
We're just sayin'.
Well, I have to agree. There is an uncanny likeness here.
I hate it now when we type the LOL ab, but here it goes...LOL..........
I think Tarantino is misunderstood... I'm an actor/writer and I'd love to work with this guy... I love the passion of executing an idea and it's obvious Q does too. Beauty is stitched into your deeds.
Insert underage toes here... vomit magnet
for once TMZ you got it right.
I didn't find him bizarro on AI. He was passionate and honest -- in past years there have been musician mentors who haven't been as helpful as he was.
PLEASE, Joan Rivers IS Madame
Big difference - Madame is funny and classy. QT is just a talent-impaired jerk.
Shemp from The 3 stooges
Which one is from our workd?
Nah, I think she looks more like Madonna.
damn these things are always so hilarious
OMG! I'm glad someone else thinks Joan Rivers is Madame!!!! Had not though about Wylan and Madame in 20 years. Was watching Celeb Apprentice and almost fell off the couch, Joan is Madame.

The federal government plays the predominant role in supporting research and development (R&D) and in establishing public policies that affect science and technology (S&T) in the United States. However, the federal government is no longer the sole focus of R&D funding and S&T policy making. State and local policy makers are unquestionably making more and more decisions that affect all of us on a daily basis. With this shift, states have also assumed an increasing responsibility for developing, formalizing, and institutionalizing policies and programs that support R&D and enable S&T evidence and expertise to be incorporated into policy making.
These issues were explored during a first-of-its-kind National Convocation organized by the National Academy of Sciences, the National Academy of Engineering, and the Institute of Medicine in collaboration with the National Association of Academies of Science and the California Council on Science and Technology. Scientists, engineers, state policy makers, experts from state regulatory agencies, representatives from foundations, and experts in scientific communication from 20 states and the District of Columbia participated in this event. This report highlights the major themes from the Convocation that emerged from the presentations and from the rich discussions that occurred in both plenary and breakout sessions.

The latest of these visits is Central East wide receiver Michiah Quick, who will be welcoming head coach Steve Sarkisian and offensive coordinator Clay Helton into his home Thursday, according to Greg Biggins of Fox Sports.
Fresno (Calif.) Central WR Michiah Quick will host #USC coaches Sark/Helton later today
— Greg Biggins (@GregBiggins) January 23, 2014
Quick is the seventh ranked athlete in the country according to 247 Sports and the Fresno product would be a major addition to the thin, but talented USC receiving corp as an explosive playmaker.
However, Sarkisian and Helton will have to work plenty of magic to pry him away from Oklahoma, where most project him to sign come February. He had an in-home visit with the Sooners at the beginning of the week.
The 6-0, 170 pound wide out officially visited the USC campus last week and reportedly enjoyed his time in Los Angeles, but the chances of him picking the Trojans still seem slim.

The Republican Party establishment let its members and traditional conservatives and libertarians besides, by forcing Romney on us as the candidate - even when it was patently obvious a long time ago that he lacked the fire and grit to beat Obama, the dirty street thug from Chicago. Mr. Romney was/is a fine man and a proven business leader, but he was the wrong man at the wrong time in the wrong place. Romney himself may or may not have let us and the nation down by not stepping aside in favor of someone better-suited to beating Obama. Only he knows the answer to that question.

How I Broke My Dick: A Cautionary Tale of Average Length
It was one of those rare moments when you realize the predicament you're in can't easily be fixed. I was having sex and then there was a pop. The next minute, I sat stupidly at the end of the bed, staring down at my crotch—eyes wide, jaw hanging open.
"Is it just dye from the condom?"
My then quasi-girlfriend was a little too casual for my liking. I continued to stare at my penis, too stunned to answer.
"No it's definitely not the condom."
After running a quick play-by-play in my head, my worst fears had been actualized. I had pulled out a minute before, hastily tearing off the black condom and smacking the light switch to examine the damage only to find out, to my horror, what looked like a growing blood blister on the side of my most dear possession.
Foreground: Debra enlisted in the US Army in 1969 as a second lieutenant. In late 1971, after she had been promoted to captain, she received a letter stating she would not be retained for active duty. Photo courtesy of the National Personnel Records Center. Background: This suicide note was found near Debra's body, along with a Bible opened to Psalm 23. Note courtesy of Janna Sorg.
It was Christmas of 1990 in my grandmother's house. The thick, heavy curtains in the living room were drawn. My mother and I sat on the edge of a bed. In an armchair across from us sat Aunt Debra, my mother's sister, who also lived there. In another sat my grandmother, who was in the middle stages of dementia. Around the room were several end tables and chairs. Sitting on each was a gun.
We had not planned to exchange Christmas gifts, yet Debra was handing me a .38-caliber handgun with a box of bullets, a holster, $100, and a note.
"Read it later," she said.
At some point in the afternoon, the conversation deteriorated. Debra reached behind her and pulled a bullet from a box on a nearby bookshelf. She held it between her thumb and forefinger, looked at my mother, and said, "Janna, this has your name on it."
My mother and I hurried down the driveway to our car, parked outside the ten-foot fence strung with razor wire that surrounded the property. As my mother turned the ignition, I glanced back and watched Debra run down the hill toward us. She was wearing a black ski mask, a camo jacket, blue jeans, and black boots. Her dark figure contrasted with the white snow, except for moments when she disappeared behind the pine trees. I stood with one foot in the car and the other in the snow. As Debra approached, I could see the vapor exhale from the mouth hole of her ski mask.
"I'll give you this one, too," she said, handing me a semiautomatic 9-mm with a box of bullets. She showed me how to load and unload the clip.
"Don't blow us all to hell, Debra," my mother yelled from the car.
"Merry Christmas," Debra told me.
"Merry Christmas," I replied. "Thanks for everything."
unt Debra was notorious in the rural hamlet of Indiana where I grew up. For most of her adult life, she had threatened and attempted to kill people. My grandmother, by throwing a pan of hot grease at her head, and later by drugging her with medicine stolen from the psych wards and nursing homes where Debra worked. My mother, who Debra saw as competition for affection. My father, who, she claimed, would be felled by a hail of bullets unloaded into the side of his car. Her supervisors, who were reluctant to fire her for fear she would return to the workplace and shoot them. Her coworkers, who she had accused of "working at cross purposes" and plotting against her. The stranger on the street who looked at her the "wrong way." The kids playing across the road she fired two shots at one day because they annoyed her. "She unnerved and frightened me, and I feared for the patients," one of her bosses told my mother. "Her stare was pure evil."
Yet for most of her adult life, Debra never killed anyone.
My grandmother was 40 years old when she had Debra—her first child after trying to get pregnant for 22 years. My mother was born just over a year later. She had always felt that her older sister wasn't quite right. "When I said my prayers at night, I asked God to take some of my happiness and give it to her," she told me. As a child, Debra hallucinated. She would sit in a chair and enter a trance. "You could get in her face and scream," said my mother. "She'd never come out of it."
In 1969, Debra enlisted in the US Army at the height of the Vietnam War. There she won marksmanship awards and was trained in the fundamentals of counterinsurgency, psychological operations, unconventional warfare, survival, escape, and evasion.
Four years later, having risen to the rank of captain, Debra received a letter from the Army saying she would no longer be retained on active duty. She was tossed out along with a friend—another woman. She moved back home.
Surely being terrified of bananas—nature's sweet cure for depression, PMS, hangovers, mosquito bites and ulcers, carefully wrapped in the warm, cheery color of the sun—would be madness, right?
But apparently banaphobia is a real thing. Apparently it's a condition so severe that sufferers can't even walk through the fruit sections of grocery stores without screaming out in panic. This puzzled us, so we called up a bananalyst, and she explained that, like all other phobias, bananaphobia is triggered by a bad experience involving the item of dread. Like, for example, being force-fed a succession of bananas by a drunk uncle as a kid, or being one of the 300 hundred Britons a year who are taken to the emergency ward after momentarily entering the world of Who Framed Roger Rabbit and slipping on a banana peel.
To increase our understanding of this very serious anti-nana condition, we chatted with a bunch of bananaphobics. All of them were granted anonymity due to the seriousness of this life-wrecking affliction.

Every day do something that will inch you closer to a better tomorrow.

It is true. We should do something every day to inch closer to a better tomorrow, but first we have to define what a better tomorrow means. In the past, for me, it meant that I should get an education. I definitely inched my way to it, but I did it. Now, for me, my better tomorrow means that today I must try to make the right eating and exercise choices.

Jungle Tournament(Game in testing)
Alright so I've created this new game with my friends and it's shown to be quite fun. It's called Jungle Tournament! It's where near baron there will be a fight going on in the river. The game is played in draft mode, for fairness. It will be a one vs. one and each person has three lives, when you die you may go stand near baron and give aura to your ally. There must be a battle every two minutes but at the same time the other members are in the jungle. Every time it must be someone different and each person must go once. At any time you may base except for in 1 vs. 1 (but if you win after is fine). At any time you may get buffs to use in 1 vs. 1
Team jungling/Counter-jungling
While the 1 vs. 1 is going on, and doing the 2 minute wait period, your team will be jungling to get experience. NOT creeper leaching but jungling. Your team is allowed to stay in your jungle and also farm off the other jungle but if you are in the other jungle you are not allowed to kill or directly attack the enemy. (An AoE ability that you throw at a monster is allowed to "accidentally" hit the Champion, yes that means Lux can laser you across that map or gangplank's ult could go off, if it's on say Blue buff) If an enemy comes into your jungle you may kill them also. Dragon is a neutral monster and is part of "no-man's land". "No man's land" is the river where you can only fight dragon or baron. No intentional team fights except for over dragon or baron. The teams may fight for it, same with baron but their must be a 1 vs. 1 happening (Emphasis on 1 vs. 1) If you die while counter-jungling or a dragon fight, that is counted as a lost life.
This is done in draft pick so you can take out early game champions and master the tournament. Most teams consist of 4 different types. There are Watchers, Junglers , Death Aura, and the Solo.
The Watchers are the people that stand at the entrance to your jungle or walk around your jungle searching for enemies; they usually ward and have high early game abilities. Watchers normally go fight 1 vs. 1 once and then wards. They can plant wards at baron so their team know who the next 1 vs. 1 enemy is to assist their team and also stop enemy kiters.
Junglers are teammates that need the jungle to level up so they do better in 1 vs. 1. These consist of late game champs that really need that extra push. They spend most of their time jungling and when they get buffs they do better in 1 vs. 1s.
Solo is the expendable champ who will do the best in fights on their own. They are sent to 1 vs 1 more and takes a challenge to kill them. They could also be champions easy to kite with. The solo normally goes at the two minute mark to let his team jungle.
Death aura is used in late game situations. They are champs who die and then buy aura items to help their allies in 1 vs 1. Death aura's can be killed at any time by anybody. They can kill other death auras only in no man's land.
After your three lives have been expended you are dead. You cannot attack enemies or ward but you do have an important job. You can buy aura items to assist your allies in 1 vs 1. The bad thing about being dead is that at any time and any place the enemy can kill you to feed themselves but you cannot fight back at all, not even using a jump ability. (So if you haven't already gathered, you should sell your items and get Auras) You cannot be killed when your in your jungle if your dead. You cannot jungle in other jungle but you can attack baron or nasher. A death aura can fight other death auras but not while the 1 vs 1 goes on
Last Man Standing
This is something you want to avoid so you want to keep your team alive and span out their lives over the course of the game. If there is only one person left they have to continuously keep battling enemy champions. That means once you slay one, another can come charging right in and you cannot leave the arena.
The rules are simple yet complex:
A lot of teams usually feed one person but that is a bad idea because late game they will have to face champ after champ with no breaks.
You want to get boots because enemies kite, ALOT. Gap closers are always good too
People can run from bush to bush to kite you, always be prepared for a duke
If there is a troll just let the enemy team know where he and all report them. Trollers will ruin this game no matter what.
A good strategy is always shut down their jungling, but do it fast you don't want to get caught.

Many people do not take their medication as prescribed. Our review considered trials of ways to help people follow prescriptions. For short-term drug treatments, counseling, written information and personal phone calls helped. For long-term treatments, no simple intervention, and only some complex ones, led to improvements in health outcomes. They included combinations of more convenient care, information, counseling, reminders, self-monitoring, reinforcement, family therapy, psychological therapy, mailed communications, crisis intervention, manual telephone follow-up, and other forms of additional supervision or attention. Even with the most effective methods for long-term treatments, improvements in drug use or health were not large. Several studies showed that telling people about adverse effects of their medications did not affect their use of the medications.

Awkward., Ep 2.10: "Pick Me, Choose Me, Love Me" reopens the care-frontation letter wound
Awkward., Season 2, Episode 10: "Pick Me, Choose Me, Love Me"
Written by Lauren Iungerich
Directed by Joe Nussbaum
Airs Thursdays at 10:30 PM on MTV
The explosion in reality television programming in North America over the last decade is something that ostensibly hasn't gone unnoticed by anyone. There have been numerous theories that have attempted to explain the runaway success that such shows have garnered, the most popular of which seems to be the idea that people enjoy watching others go through the trials and tribulations of life, both as a vicarious form of entertainment, and as a potential learning tool. The adverse effects of opening up one's life to the public, however, is a subject that is often left unexplored. With Jenna's unmasking of her blog last week, however, this episode explores the fallout of her decision amongst all affected parties, leading to a strong episode that gives the audience a good look at numerous facets of Jenna's personality.
The two major storylines this week revolve around the exposure of the intimate details of Jenna's life to the entire school, but the stronger one focuses on Lacey, and how she deals with the fallout of being declared the author of the care-frontation letter in the first season. The episode does a great job in not letting Lacey off the hook, while simultaneously making her a sympathetic character, as the impact of what she did is never diminished, no matter how much she gets verbally beaten down. The writers give Nikki DeLoach a lot of heavy lifting this episode, and she delivers admirably. Valerie's unexpectedly stern reprimanding of Lacey, as well as Lacey's explanation to Jenna of her rationale behind writing the letter were both highlights of the episode, and of the season, and helps push all three characters forward. It will be very interesting to see how far the writers choose to pursue this storyline, and what direction it goes in.

Perfect size for my lobster pot pie and mini Mac n cheese for the kids. Been searching for this particular size but wasn't able to find it, until I found this site.

I bought this product for custards to go, mini cakes, and bread pudding. The cups are cheap and durable enogh to sray and pan spray and reuse once or twice and cheap enough to throw away. I prepare food to go some stuff like cakes can be popes out and custards can be made togo.

Personal bread puddings
perfect for desserts, souffles, molds, and portioning for mise en place. 4 oz is a good size for normal desserts/apps/sides. great value for what it does.
Vilma r. Posted on 08/29/2013
These disposable foil ramekins are excellent for use during caterings, or even mise en place in restaurant use. They're wonderful for sauces, spices holders, or, my personal favorite, creme brulee.
Daniel S. Posted on 08/10/2013
I bought these so I could make desserts for my catering business. So far I've used them for creme brulee and they work great. I can't wait to try bread pudding in them.
Christopher C. from Just Eat This Catering Posted on 06/09/2013
These were so handy for me! My family had a reunion and I wanted to bring muffins but I didn't know where to get so many containers because I was worried about paying an arm and leg! When I found these I was shocked at the low price! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!

These 4oz foil tin cups are the best. They are Sturdy and hold up well during transporting and storing. I've used these for making individual cakes, banana bread and even chicken pot pies. They make portioning very easy.
Linell D. Posted on 10/02/2012
I just love these cups! I love them so much that I had to buy a case. They weren't protected where the first layer arrived smashed. However customer service was so wonderful and quickly replaced the ones damaged with a carton of 100!
Desiree T. from Desiree's Desserts Posted on 09/09/2012
These cups are a great size for individual sized mousse cups, creme brulee. They are sturdy and hold up well. Will definitely buy more when needed
Lina B. from Doughlicious Cakes Posted on 06/08/2012

John B. from Pfoodman Posted on 01/03/2012
This has been great for mini pies, cobblers, crisps, mini cheesecakes. We also just started using them for creme brule. These also fit nicely into our cupcake inserts in our cupcake boxes.
Tara N. from Sweet Lola's Cupcakery and BakeShop Posted on 07/05/2011
These cups are great for custard dishes and are a very good price with WEBstaurantStore.com. Their shipping was faster than expected, very pleased with overall product and service.
Erin W. from Truckin' Good Food Posted on 03/09/2010
These nifty little cups are great for when you want to give out samples. You can bake your product right into it and save some time and hassle.
Jomarie S. Posted on 12/15/2009
I purchased these 4oz foil cups to make miniature cakes for gifts. I couldn't believe how well they hold up. You can even wash and re-use. I ordered them and they were at my door four days later. I love them.
Jean A. Posted on 09/08/2009
Made of quality material. Heavy so it will not tip over easily. Great appearance.

My U.S.Visa company was alerted that my credit card was compromised due to a 3rd party being hacked and credit card numbers were stolen.
Once I was issued a new card my old card was charged for two charges - $169 & $199 - from Asurion! I don't have a U.S. phone & have never even heard of this company. These are fraudulent charges and you should contact your credit card company for pursue this with them.
My Visa company is working toward having the charges reversed.How or why this company is involved with a credit card hacking venture is beyond me, but i would not have anything to do with them - EVER!af66395

Just found two charges on my account as well. $99 and $250. I just froze my account and will be going to the bank in the morning to file a claim against those debits.0 0 Reply

I had the same thing happen to me. I never purchased any insurance from this company, but suddenly saw multiple charges from them for $150 and $175. I closed that card and filed a claim with my bank and it took several days for the charges to get reversed. I thought it was all ok, but then they tried to file a counterclaim and keep taking money out of that account. If it was not fraud, they should have contacted me directly to let me know I owed them that money, but I obviously didn't so they pushed back with another fraudulent claim. I hope they burn.0 0 Reply

Fraud charges on my Visa card from these guys over 2000 dollars total.
Koz Jun 03, 2013 Dayton, Ohio
These charges also appeared on my account.($169.00) JP Morgan Chase has done a stellar job stopping these charges from going through. My account was closed and new cards will be issued. Even if your card company doesn't detect fraud, you can dispute the charges and file a fraud report. Good luck and I hope everything ends well.0 0 Reply

We have almost 800 subscribers on oss-security, but DFN-CERT doesn't
appear to be subscribed - so I've re-added the CC on this reply, and
I'll over-quote a little.

This is not exactly the new vendor-sec. As the name suggests, it is a
Linux distros only list. Also, please note that the maximum acceptable
embargo period on this list is 14 days. We need to communicate this
detail to whoever we're asking to disclose anything to the list, before
they disclose. When posting to the list, you may encrypt messages to
the attached key.
For FreeRADIUS specifically, it sounds like non-Linux vendors could be
interested as well. DFN-CERT did mention Linux distros specifically in
the quote above, so the suggestion to use the list was appropriate, but
perhaps requests from other distros shipping FreeRADIUS should be
accommodated as well. If something like this arrived to the Linux
distros list without prior discussion on oss-security, I would bring
this up and suggest that we contact *BSD's at least. Since this is
already on oss-security, I assume that interested *BSD's and others may
ask DFN-CERT themselves. ;-)
Gentoo complies to your requirements
and would like to get the patch directly, if you do not plan to send it
