Due to the volatile nature of industrious metals like silver, palladium and platinum, WITE is best utilized as a short-term tactical play on market strength. By moving in and out of WITE while maintaining a long-term physical gold holding like GLD, investors can position themselves to benefit during market swings.
Despite its unique and eye-catching take on precious metals, however, WITE is a fund investors should approach with caution. Because the fund's daily trading volume remains low, it could suffer from liquidity issues down the road.
The PowerShares DB Precious Metals Fund (DBP) is a futures-backed fund that splits exposure across gold and silver.
Currently gold dominates the largest percentage of the fund's portfolio, accounting for three-quarters of its index. Although its reach across the precious metal spectrum is not as expansive as other options, by cutting out notably volatile players like platinum and palladium, the fund may appeal to conservative investors. Additionally, with an average daily trading volume of over 120,000, DPB is the most liquid of the precious metals basket funds.The advent of precious metal ETFs has made gaining access to these attractive resources as simple as investing in traditional stocks and bonds. Although the recent commodities shakeup has caused many investors to turn away from gold, silver, platinum and palladium, when the clouds clear and these resources fall back into favor, GLTR, WITE, and DBP will be funds to keep on the radars.

omeone finally took advantage of the short right-field wall at the Alamodome when Leury Garcia lined a three-run homer over the 285-foot sign to lead the Texas Rangers past the San Diego Padres 5-2 on Saturday.
The Rangers swept both games played in the Alamodome, which is designed primarily for football and special events such as the NCAA Final Four but had not hosted baseball until this weekend.
A crowd of 40,569 pushed San Antonio's two-day total to 75,210.
Texas opens the regular season Sunday night in Houston against a new AL West rival in the Astros. San Diego travels to New York to face the Mets on Monday.

Dynamic Disk RAID10
Did some searching around here regarding hybrid raids using Dynamic Disk, but didn't find much.
My question: is it possible to achieve RAID10 or RAID01 using dynamic disks? Say I have four drives and I make two mirrors (or stripes) of two each. Is it then possible to to mirror those two stripes (or stripe the two mirrors) by making a mirror or striped volume?

A senior State Department official recently had a frank chat with Al Jazeera, saying: "I think there is great room for strong criticism, because without doubt, there was arrogance and stupidity by the United States in Iraq." Though Alberto Fernandez denies using those particular words, the BBC has verified the statement.
The state department says Mr Fernandez was quoted incorrectly - but BBC Arabic language experts say Mr Fernandez did indeed use the words.
It comes after President George W Bush discussed changing tactics with top US commanders to try to combat the unrest.
Mr Fernandez, an Arabic speaker who is director of public diplomacy in the state department's Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs, told Qatar-based al-Jazeera that the world was "witnessing failure in Iraq".
"That's not the failure of the United States alone, but it is a disaster for the region," he said.

Methodist College of Nursing 2nd Degree Program - page 2
Has anyone on here been through or currently in the 2nd Degree (Accelerated BSN) program through Methodist College of Nursing? I've applied to the program for Spring 2012.... Read More
- 0Nov 9, '11 by dkmamato3Quote from turtle57I agree ~ all programs are going to have individuals that are happy and unhappy with their program. I am doing my research on a few different programs to make sure that I am making the right choice for me.I graduated from MCON in August 2011 and passed the NCLEX with 75 questions. There are always good things and bad things about every program out there. You have to decide which one works best for you.
Did you have a good personal experience at MCON?
- 0Nov 10, '11 by Pneumothoraxim in OSF's program now.. love it...come to the dark side ya'll ICC does put out some very good nurses, too bad they are not BSN also.
Oh i think bradley just lost/cancelled the contract with their crna program with a hospital in decatur and millikun picked it up. made more sense.
- 0Dec 9, '11 by TexHawsI am currently a second degree student at MCON in peoria il. I have had both negative and positive experiences, but I will tell you that my overall experience with this methodist college of nursing is quite negative. if you want more info check out my blog . . . mconmalenurse . blogspot dot com
- 0Mar 2, '12 by Chelle_jI am a student at MCON and I personally love it. I am apart of the four year program and have friends that are in the second degree program. I love the environment and I think that they provide a quality education. I really think that alot of people are misinformed about the college that they are leaving bad comments. I recommend this school and think that you should visit the college for yourself. I visited OSF and Methodist and although I liked both colleges I really felt Methodist had exactly what I was looking for and they gave me all the facts. After accepting my entrance into MCON I realized that OSF failed to tell me some of the information that I had asked them specifically about. I think that all the nursing programs in the area are great schools we just have to find the fit that is right for you. No need to go around bad mouthing.
- 0Jul 31, '12 by brlabo00MCON second degree is terrible. I am currently enrolled and the instructors are horrible. I have heard great things about the four-year program though. Also, the NCLEX pass rate for 2011 is 72%, and that is the lowest in the area. Losing accreditation...doubt it but probably probation.
- 0Mar 10 by MethodistCollegeI would strongly encourage you to speak to a recruiter at Methodist College in order to receive up-to-date information as well as program and amenity options. Methodist College's second degree program is an accelerated program that can be completed in 5 semesters and classes are attended on Tuesday and Thursday evenings as well as Saturday and Sundays. Please contact our recruiter at (309) 672-5513 or email@example.com in order to schedule a visit and meet with current students. You can also coordinate a visit with a faculty member as well as an alumnus to determine if the program may be a good fit for you or if you might benefit from our Pre-Licensure track to your BSN.
Methodist College is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission (HLC) and the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE) and continues to see a rise in its NCLEX scores over the last few quarters.

I purchased this sign and had it personalized for my daughter's 8th grade prom. It was amazing. The quality and attention to detail was superb. It was a focal point of the evening and really pulled all the decorations together. Throughout the evening, we frequently saw many kids in front of the sign, taking pictures!

I could not believe the quality of this outdoor sign!
Best Uses
We used this banner for our Prom. The theme was Arabian Nights and this worked perfectly behind our flying carpet set. [...] This worked out well as I ordered it a bit late - I didn't take in to consideration the time needed for printing. We will use Stumps for our Prom again next year - they were terrific.

BBC - Newsbeat - Plastic surgery app game aimed at children taken down
First of all, I just want to point out that this:
is too hilarious to be an accident. Ok, silliness over.British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (Baaps)
I doubt there's anyone that would disagree that it's sickening that someone has made a game aimed at children that encourages you to "fix" an overweight girl through various types of surgery. It's disgusting that some idiot thought that was a good idea!
The thing that irritated me most, however (the fact there are idiots in the world came as no surprise), is that the BBC published this quote:
without then following it up by pointing out that anybody can publish anything on Google Play store and Google take down anything they deem inappropriate as and when it is reported. Apple, on the other hand, vet every single app that makes it to the market. OK, Apple have taken it down now (although they seem to have left the almost identical "Plastic Surgery for Barbara" game intact) but that means that somebody from Apple consciously made the decision that not only was this app OK but that it was OK for children."That Apple or Google could condone this disgraceful app as a game suitable for children is no less than sickening."
Why aren't they pointing out this massive difference in policy? Is it because they have their noses wedged firmly in Apple's rhetorical anus? Perhaps there's some form of plastic surgery that can fix that.

Sephora to open stores in AustraliaPUBLISHED: 08 Apr 2014 16:12:00 | UPDATED: 08 Apr 2014 19:55:23PUBLISHED: 08 Apr 2014 PRINT EDITION: 09 Apr 2014
Sue Mitchell
Sephora, the world's largest beauty retailer, has spurned offers from Myer and David Jones to set up outlets in department stores and will open its first stand-alone stores in Australia next year.
Industry sources said the cosmetics and beauty "category killer", which has annual sales of $4.4 billion, had been considering teaming up with a local retailer to tackle the Australian market and had held talks with David Jones, Myer and Jo Horgan's Mecca Cosmetica group.
Myer and David Jones are keen to emulate US retailer JC Penney, which has more than 400 Sephora "shop in shops" inside its department stores.
The department store chains are still hopeful Sephora will decide to open both stand-alone and concession stores, as other international brands such as Brooks Brothers have done.
However, sources said Sephora, the fastest-growing brand in the LVMH luxury goods group, has decided to go it alone, inspired by the success of recently opened stores in Asia.
Sephora's entry into Australia threatens to break the stranglehold that Myer and David Jones have on the premium cosmetics and fragrance market, estimated to be worth more than $1.8 billion a year.
"Outside of Jo Horgan's Mecca [cosmetics], there's nothing like this in Australia," said one source. "In their mind, it's the first real threat to department stores in this country in 50 years."
Myer and David Jones account for more than 60 per cent of the premium cosmetics market and are the main distribution channel for the leading international beauty brands including Estee Lauder and L'Oreal.
Beauty and cosmetics represent about 15 to 20 per cent of total sales at Myer and David Jones – the second biggest category after womenswear – and 25 per cent of gross profits.
Threat to department stores
Myer and David Jones, which are mulling a $3 billion merger, are putting on a brave face.
"Sephora and department stores both successfully coexist in international markets and we expect the same will occur in Australia," a David Jones spokesperson said. "The cost price harmonisation exercise that we have undertaken over the past 18 months means we are well placed to compete."
Myer declined to comment, but at the interim results last month, Myer chief Bernie Brookes said cosmetics was the best-performing category, despite the deflationary impact of price harmonisation, led by brands such as MAC, Mecca and Napoleon Perdis. Myer and David Jones have been reducing retail prices for beauty products after convincing international suppliers to bring local prices more into line with global prices.
To department stores, cosmetics and fragrances are the bread and milk of supermarkets, attracting strong foot traffic and occupying prime space on the ground floor.
Sephora's entry is unlikely to lead to a price war because global cosmetics houses generally do not like to discount, preferring to add value through gifts with purchase.
However, Sephora is likely to become a destination for beauty-conscious consumers because of its wide range of international and niche skincare, make-up and fragrance brands and its popular private label range, which accounts for as much as 40 per cent of sales.
Sephora is also well known for customer service. Sales assistants cross-sell products to ensure the right products for customers and are generous with samples, while the beauty counters in department stores are usually staffed by brand owners, who focus on selling their own products and are less generous with samples.
Founded in Paris in 1970, Sephora was acquired by LVMH in 1997 and has grown rapidly. It now has more than 1400 stores in 30 countries. The stores range in size from 1000 to 4000 square metres and the typical store carries more than 100 brands and about 7000 stock-keeping units.
Industry sources said Sephora planned to open its first store in Sydney in the first half of 2015, followed by stores in other capital cities. It is looking for sites in high-profile locations such as George Street and Pitt Street in Sydney, and is believed to be in talks with Westfield. Citigroup believes there is scope for about 25 stores.
Sephora is now the dominant player in the European cosmetics market and has captured about 20 per cent of the market in the US, where it has about 700 stores, including JC Penney outlets.

A Citizen Audit of Investment Protection Treaties and International Arbitration System on Investments has been created in Ecuador.
Meanwhile, UNASUR (Union of South American Nations) begins to see Bilateral Investment Protection Treaties (BIT) as a threat from transnational corporations to governments.
These two aspects were discussed at the international workshop "Alternatives to the International Investment Protection System and Dispute Settlement Mechanisms between Transnational Corporations and States" held last Thursday and Friday in Guayaquil, Ecuador.
Last Saturday, Real World Radio interviewed ecologist activist Alberto Villareal of REDES-Friends of the Earth Uruguay. Villareal participated in the event called by the Ministry of Foreign Relations and Human Mobility, the National Secretariat of Planning and Development (SENPLADES) and the Council of Citizen Participation and Social Control. Other calling organizations include the Latin American Network on Debt, Development and Rights (LATINDADD), German foundation Friedrich Ebert, the Latin American Institute of Social Sciences (ILDIS), Ecuadorian Network Jubilee 2000 and the Hemispheric Social Alliance.
The participants and speakers of the different workshops included experts from social movements and organizations, governments and many Latin American countries.
The team of the Citizen's Audit "will be made up of four members of State agencies, four international experts and four members of social movements and organizations of Ecuador", plus 12 alternate members, Villareal told Real World Radio. "Right now the composition of the group is being decided. During the meeting there was a general sense that the selection of organizations of Ecuador should be made by the organizations themselves in order to replicate this process in other countries". The aim is that the selection of civil society representatives is not done by the government.
One of the main outcomes of the meeting is to take this proposal for the Audit before the official summit of the Bolivarian Alternative of the Americas (ALBA) to be held on Tuesday in Guayaquil, so that all the countries in the alliance will follow suit.
In April, the Ecuadorian government called several governments and civil society organizations to talk about possible actions against the current investment protection model. The Citizen Audit and the International Observatory of Investor-State cases were two big outcomes of the meeting. There, over 10 countries created the Conference of the Countries of the South to help each other in conflicts with transnational corporations.
"The Audit in Ecuador is the process that has moved forward the most", said Villareal, at the government's initiative, but "in many countries the social movements will have to push this forward". Taking this forward in different countries and promote it is one of the goals that came out of the international workshop.
Villareal said that one of the first official meetings of UNASUR identified BIT as potential threats with negative impacts on the States in international arbitration, as well as the need to review this policy.
Even though Ecuador and the ALBA countries question the BIT and international arbitration, the aim of social organizations in Latin America is that UNASUR will continue working on this issue despite the political differences between the member countries.
Meanwhile, the International Observatory of Investor-State Cases has not shown so much progress. "We were hoping that during these meetings we would hear the Ecuadorian government talk about its plans. But there is neither structure nor specific activities yet. We made proposals but we expected there would be more exchange. It was not possible this time", regretted Villareal.
A recommendation that came out of the workshop was that the Observatory has to be a government body with direct participation of social movements. It should expose the problems of BIT and arbitration systems. The proposal is that the Observatory "is a joint defense of governments, social movements and communities affected against lawsuits, to expose how flawed these processes of lawsuits filed by transnational corporations against States are. Finally we want to discredit these processes, get rid of them", said Villareal. The member of REDES-FoE called on the other countries to follow the example of Ecuador, Bolivia and Venezuela "which have taken a path of exposing and overturning BIT, reviewing their investment policies and of exposing ICSID and international arbitration mechanisms that grant transnational corporations extraordinary powers".

To make sure that the period of their wives' stay doesn't get over before the match does, Indian team has decided to wrap up all upcoming test matches inside one day.
The team which was struggling to cope up with the presence of one robot i.e. Duncan Fletcher in the staff now fears that with Shastri on board the entire team will go nuts.
Making a sensational revelation, BCCI today claimed that team India was suffering from split personality disorder, with alternate personality being a gully cricket team.
This is the first incident recorded of an incensed mob showing their anger in the aftermath of yet another humiliating series defeat of Indian team overseas.
"Yes we have decided to bury the hatchet and get over our personal differences to strengthen subcontinent forces against foreign forces," said Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Ajinkya Rahane in unison as they embraced each other.
ICC took this decision after closely following performances of India in test matches abroad over past couple of years, where ICC saw a tremendous will in Indian players to get over a test match asap outside the subcontinent.
After failing in their repeated attempts to extract some performance out of Rohit Sharma, BCCI has now instructed Indian selectors to stop looking for talent in any upcoming promising player.
"It is just a way to check if I have the sufficient amount of 'talent' that Rohit bhai is blessed with, to remain a part of playing 11 despite failing continuously," Kohli told Faking News.
Latest reports suggest that cricketer Virat Kohli's poor form on England tour is a deliberate act aimed at testing Anushka Sharma's loyalty towards him.
CSK batsman and part time Indian fielder Suresh Raina today claimed that it is his nephew who has been playing all this while for India and performing poorly.

A new survey has revealed that four out of ten Americans lie to their dentist about everything from flossing to missed appointments.The Harris Interactive poll, which was commissioned by Philips Sonicare and Oral Health America, suggested that dentists may get further with their patients if they do not ask them direct questions, www.drbicuspid.com reports.Gary Kaid, head of dental management consulting firm NextLevel Practice, told the website that people can be particularly economical with the truth with dental receptionists.According to one of his surveys, only 15 percent of patients admit to receptionists why they are really cancelling appointments.On a more serious level, some patients also neglect to tell their dentist if they suffer from debilitating diseases, which can have dangerous consequences.To try and build up a relationship of trust, Mr Kaid advised dentists to "look beyond the soft and hard tissues and get to the emotional issues of the patient". In related news, a recent study by Kelton Research found that of the 53 percent of Americans who have been referred to a dental specialist, 46 percent did not attend the appointment.

Duke Energy is looking to buy back ownership stakes in four power plants in central and Eastern North Carolina operated by the former Progress Energy.
The Charlotte utility said Monday that it was in discussions with the North Carolina Eastern Municipal Power Agency to buy its partial interests in a nuclear plant in Brunswick County, a coal plant in Person County, a nuclear plant in Person County and a nuclear plant in Wake County.
The municipal power agency provides electric service to 32 cities and towns in the eastern part of the state. Most of its energy comes from the agency's ownership interests in those plants. Should the deal go through, the North Carolina Eastern Municipal Power Agency would buy wholesale power from Duke Energy to serve its customers.
It is unclear what effect, if any, the deal could have on electric rates. Any agreement would have to be approved by regulators.
The agency is affiliated with ElectriCities, the organization that also manages public power services for Charlotte-area towns Cornelius, Huntersville and Pineville.
There is no time frame for when a deal might be completed. Duke Energy spokesman Jeff Brooks said the company has been interested in buying the ownership stakes for several years, and that Duke and the municipal power agency believe it could be mutually beneficial.
Duke Energy acquired Progress Energy in 2012. Progress had served most of central and Eastern North Carolina.
Duke Energy has been making decisions about where to get more power plant capacity as it decides whether to build a new nuclear plant near Gaffney, S.C. Last week, the company decided not to buy an ownership stake in a nuclear plant under construction in South Carolina.
The potential deal with the North Carolina Eastern Municipal Power Agency would not add a significant amount of capacity to Duke Energy because the utility would still serve the same customers. But Brooks said Duke could benefit from "economies of scale" as it meets the region's energy needs.
ElectriCities did not return a phone call for comment.

(Updates with comment from economist in fourth paragraph.)
Oct. 27 (Bloomberg) -- India's food inflation rate rose to the highest level in more than six months on higher prices of cereals, vegetables, eggs, meat and fish.
An index measuring wholesale prices of agricultural products gained 11.43 percent in the week ended Oct. 15 from a year earlier, the commerce ministry said in a statement in New Delhi today. It rose 10.6 percent the previous week.
Lower production of pulses and inadequate egg and meat supplies may put pressure on food prices, the Reserve Bank of India said this week as it raised interest rates for the 13th time since the start of 2010. Still, the central bank signaled it's nearing the end of monetary tightening as growth slows.
"The pressure on food inflation will continue, but it will be manageable unless there is a shock," said Prasanna Ananthasubramanian, a Mumbai-based economist at ICICI Securities Primary Dealership Ltd. "The known factors exist and they can be controlled."
Reserve Bank Governor Duvvuri Subbarao has raised the benchmark rate by 375 basis points since mid-March 2010, the fastest round of increases since the central bank was established in 1935, Bloomberg data show. India's benchmark wholesale-price inflation was 9.72 percent in September, having stayed above 9 percent all this year.
Inflation will start to decline from December and ease to 7 percent by March before moderating further in the first half of the new fiscal year starting April 1, the central bank said this week. Beyond December, "if the inflation trajectory conforms to projections, further rate hikes may not be warranted," the bank said.
In the week ended Oct. 15, cereal costs rose 4.6 percent from a year earlier, today's report showed. Prices of vegetables surged 25 percent while eggs, meat and fish climbed 12.8 percent.

The calendar is about to flip to July and the end of the fantasy baseball season is on the horizon. There's still a lot of baseball left in 2013, but the dog days of August are right around the corner. Mirages are starting to appear in the summer heat and they're making fantasy GMs make foolish, foolish decisions.
This is officially the silly season. If May is the Great Equalizer, then the end of June is when fantasy GMs decide to make silly choices. Some guys on the waiver wire can actually help your team. The guys featured in this column are not these guys. These are the guys that deserve to stay on the waiver wire or better yet, on someone else's fantasy team.
Roy Oswalt is back in the major leagues and he managed to strike out 11 Nationals using his old man powers. He gave up four runs in five innings and took the loss, but the headlines will be about the 11 K's. Fantasy GMs interested in winning should probably ignore them.
It's hard to believe the Rockies were the only offer that got Roy to step off his tractor and back onto a baseball field. He's stepping into a mediocre team that plays half its games in one of the better hitter's parks in the league. This is not the ideal situation for a 36-year old who hasn't pitched a full season since 2010. He's not going to be usable almost half the time he's pitching.
The good news is that he was averaging 92.5 MPH on his fastball. He hasn't thrown that hard since 2010. He also didn't walk anyone in his start. These are the pieces of Oswalt's first start that fantasy GMs will cling to in order to justify overspending on Oswalt in FAAB bidding.
Speaking of guys getting by with old guy powers, Chien-Ming Wang is back in the major leagues with Toronto. Wang might be able to still eat up some innings, but he hasn't posted a K/9 over 5.00 at the major league level since 2009. He doesn't strike out nearly enough batters to be useful in fantasy baseball even if he does luck his way into a few wins or quality starts. He's still a ground ball machine (64.2% GB % this year), but he's going to blow up at some point this season and he'll take your ratios with him.
Jeremy Bonderman is back in the big leagues for the first time since 2010. His comeback is truly a remarkable story, but it's not one that should be taking up space on your fantasy roster. Bonderman has half as many starts (five) as he does strikeouts (ten). He actually has the exact same number of K's as walks right now. He has already allowed four homers in only 30.0 innings. His ERA won't be at 3.30 for long. He's a powder keg that's waiting to blow up your ratios. His BABIP is only .235 and his strand rate is 83.3%. Those numbers don't indicate that Bonderman will have a lot of success beyond June.
Blue Jays warm body Esmil Rogers has thrown well enough to convince some fantasy GMs to have him on their staff. This will likely end badly for those who chose to invest in Rogers. Rogers is essentially a guy. He's about as league average as it gets. He's bounced between the minors and majors since 2009. He has the big fastball, but he's never been able to find success at the big league level.
He doesn't strike a ton of batters out (5.55 K/9 this year) and he's a career .344 BABIP pitcher with a current .280 BABIP. His 4.29 xFIP indicates his 3.14 actual ERA is likely a mirage. His 76.1% strand rate is almost 10.0% over his career average. He's pieced together a few competent starts, but Rogers really isn't where fantasy GMs should want to be at this point in the season.
Pirates starter Jeff Locke is getting by with smoke and mirrors. He doesn't strike out a lot of batters (6.35 K/9), but he does walk quite a few (3.93 BB/9). He's had some success in the low minors that would indicate he could be for real, but there have been a lot of guys who have done a lot more in the minors and wound up out of baseball.
Locke's 4.06 xFIP is more than double his current 2.01 actual ERA. He's getting by with a .231 BABIP while owning a 2.05 GB:FB ratio. A lot of baseballs are finding a lot of gloves. Locke is currently enjoying a statistical variance, but he's as likely a regression candidate as there is in Major League Baseball right now.

This mask is simply amazing. It's my go-to product when my skin is oily, clogged up and breaking out. I mix equal parts of the clay and apple cider vinegar together; I find the ACV works much better than water. I then apply it all over my face (avoiding my eyes and SD) and let it sit for 15-20 minutes. While using the mask you can just feel it clearing all the gunk out of your pores. It tingles a bit but it doesn't sting, this coming from someone with very sensitive skin. It comes off easiest with a washcloth and warm water. I find it more convenient to plan on taking a shower after using this. Yes, it will make your skin pink but it goes away. When it's rinsed away my skin looks and feels refreshed, soft, and much less oily. My pores (even on my nose!) look smooth and noticeably smaller. The first time I used it I put it on for way too long and my skin was irritated and very red, so don't plan on using this for the first time before an event just in case your skin reacts adversely to it. This is very inexpensive for how much product you get. I got my container over a year ago and there's still about 1/3 left, and I use this around twice a week. I got mine at my local natural foods store; I'm sure there are plenty of good places to get it online as well. It works wonderfully for spot-treating acne overnight too. If you're looking for a good mask to de-gunkify your skin, this is for you! I'm not tempted in the least by any competitors. Try it, and if it doesn't work for you give it to an oily-skinned friend.

Let me start out by saying this-- if you are vacillating between buying this or not... BUY IT! I got mine yesterday and used it for the first time today with only water... It dried up and sucked out all the blackheads and tiny bumps around my nose! Great product, you truly do feel it working. I am a model down here in humid Texas, and the combination of heavy makeup+ sweat and humidity is NOT a good environment for clear skin. I will probably be using this gem after every shoot! Thank you Aztec secret!

The drawing power of this stuff was proven to me after I put it on a brown recluse bite that was getting hugely infected on the side of my knee. I was about to head to the doctor, but tried this instead. I covered the whole red area with a thick layer of this stuff and put a big waterproof bandage over it to keep it moist. It pulled out the whole infection in about 24 hours. It saved me from needing antibiotics and a huge doctor bill (or possibly worse...just google pictures of staph infections from a recluse bite! Ugh!). I know this is a gross story, but I wanted to get it out there that this can be used for more than just beauty purposes.
I do use this as a face mask, as well, and find that if I use it around my "Time of the Month," it completely eliminates and prevents the blemishes I usually get around my chin and jawline. Yes, it leaves your skin red for an hour or so, but the benefits are totally worth it.

I love this stuff! This is the first mask I where I have noticed an immediate difference in my skin. My pores are cleared, my pimples shrink, its amazing. I also love the pulsating feeling that you get from this mask... it's so cool. I have so far only used the mask with water, but I hear it's better with ACV (although my skin is pretty sensitive so I might never do that).
When I first tried it however, I didn't know how to apply it, it's so thick and sticky that I found it difficult to apply. However now I just use the same plastic spoon I use for mixing, to smooth it over my face, this works much better than trying to use your fingers!
Obviously this product is really amazing, as you can tell by all the great reviews, however I just have a word of warning. I applied this mask one night and decided to lay down to wait for it to dry. I didn't wake up to my alarm, and when I woke in the morning and washed the mask off (about 6 hours later), my skin was amazingly red (moreso than usual when using this mask) and super irritated. Over the next couple of days, my skin began peeling off in flakes all over my face, especially near my mouth. It was horrible and the most pain my face has ever endured. After a week of peeling skin, I finally healed and I'm back to normal skin. DO NOT LEAVE THIS ON OVERNIGHT! However, as a caveat, leaving it as a spot treatment only on a pimple (not any of the surrounding skin AT ALL) overnight is fine. Be warned! Don't let this turn you off of this mask, because as others have said, this really is an amazing mask, just be careful with how long you leave it on. 45 minutes is definitely a max!

like the previous reviewer mentioned, this product doesn't do anything for me. I have used St Ives, marine mineral masks, baking soda, lemon, and the list goes on. There are so many better masks out there that absorb oils just as well without dehydrating my skin like this mask. It doesn't do anything to tone, rejuvinate, or brighten the skin. It actually makes my skin appear more red and blemished. I use this mask the same way I use other mud masks. Leave it on til it dries, then remove promptly. I Do not like how my skin look after using this clay. I find St Ives, or Mint Julip mask work way better at shrinking my pores, smooth out my skin, brighten my complexion, soak up the oils without sucking out the moisture. Indian Clay mask just sucks out the moisture with makes my skin more prone to getting redness. I don't see any reduction in pore size or less oiliness. IF there's anything, my skin end up compensating by producing even more oil. Indian clay does nothing to balance out the skin. would not buy again

This mask is amazing for removing blackheads, blemishes, and healing dark spots. This product works BEST when mixed with apple cider vinegar. I do not personally measure out everything, I just eyeball the amounts until I get my desired consistency. The mask works to pull out all of the impurities in the skin, so that after you wash off the mask, you can easily remove your blackheads by gently pushing them out. Any blemishes are gone within the night, and dark spots are lightened. If you do this after a face scrub, it's even better. I receive compliments on my skin all the time now thanks to this regimen. It does not irritate my skin, and works quickly (only 30 minutes and then you wash the mask off). I pray to the heavens that this product is never discontinued, it is a skin saver.

So, I bought into the hype for this product. I can't say that I don't fully agree with a lot of these reviews. But I think that the 'miracle product' is a bit over exaggerated, at least on my end. I mix equal parts clay with water and stir with a spoon. I apply it to my face with hands or a brush. Let it dry for 10 minutes and wash off. I do feel my skin tighten and my face pulsate, so this is the strongest mask I have tried. I get the same redness and drying of acne from this clay as from others used though. I agree that this is deep pore cleansing.
On the DOWNSIDE, I think that this process takes forever. I don't like carrying a bowl and spoon into the shower to create this concoction. If you don't mix the powder well into the water, the masque comes out chunky. If you mix or put too much water, mask comes out too watery. I find that having to make my own masque decreases the chances that I will apply it. So, I am regretting the purchase.
I got the same effects on my skin with Neutrogena Clear Pore Mask. I don't find other masks that pulsate, but I don't know if that makes a mask better. I just purchased the Queen Helene's Mint Julep Masque, as I hear it is similar.
So, I agree with the reviews. The mask is great, not stellar. But if you don't have time or energy to mix your own skincare, get something else.

I absolutely love this stuff! It has worked wonders for my skin! I've been using it since late January of this year and since then my skin has really came a long way! My acne was mild to moderate but I had deep acne scars from when my acne was severe during high school. I just graduated college last month. This past semester I would use the clay mask religiously twice a week every week and after a few weeks I began to see improvement. Months later, my acne scars are almost gone completely and my skin tone is way more even than what it used to be. I will continue using this for years to come!
This is a really nice product to have around the house. It's a beauty item, but also should be part of your first aid arsenal. We use this on bug bites, or any other skin irritation. I use it with Bragg's Organic Apple Cider Vinegar and it works wonders. The clay alone has no scent, but with the Braggs it just smells like vinegar. It doesn't leave any lingering smell. I don't use it on my entire face because my skin is combination and could dry out your dry areas too much, but it makes a great spot treatment for acne or any blemishes. Its great for removing blackheads from the nose area or chin you can feel it tightening and pulling out the impurities when you apply it. I once had a painful ingrown hair near my bikini area and after 2 applications of this bentonite clay it went down and was no longer an issue.

When you are done checking them out head over to WoW Ten Ton Hammer to share your thoughts and catch up on all the latest Burning Crusades news and information.
Ten Ton Hammer Exclusive - Point of Interest: Brockenborings Orchard
Admit it: you're dying for more screens of Lord of the Rings: Shadows of Angmar. Lucky for you, the friendly folks at Turbine have trusted Ten Ton Hammer with some exclusive screenshots of Brockenborings Orchard. So naturally, the first thing we did is show them to you!
"A picturesque hobbit village renowned for its splendid orchards, Brockenborings comes to life beautifully thanks to the artful craft of Turbine Developer Chris Pierson...Pierson's passion for accurately recreating Tolkien's world shows in the intricate details evident in Brockenborings."
What are you waiting for? Get clicking and check these screenshots out for yourself. The team at LOTRO Ten Ton Hammer is waiting to hear what you think of them so don't forget to stop by the forums and add your thoughts.
Does it make me nervous that all of these screens look absolutely gorgeous? Uh.. yeah.. I can see my cash clearing the hands of the toadies at Comp USA while I upgrade my computer so I can actually see this game in all it's glory. Yeah.. I'm nervous.
Worthplaying has 16 new screenshots for your purveyance.
Give it a little time though. They don't seem to be jumping to full size when you click on them.

It might look just like this...or nothing like it.
Turbine has posted some new Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar concept art on the official site.
" These are two of several styles of armor found in LOTRO, as worn by a Man of Eriador. (In the game, players can wear armor designs from another race, if they so choose. Hobbits, being peaceful folk, have not developed an armor style of their own.) However, armor takes skill to wear effectively, and only certain classes will have the appropriate skills for some armor-types. "

Turbine has posted some Lord of the Rings Online concept art for you viewing pleasure. The picture today is what that girl you met last night looks like when you sober up, otherwise known as the Gothorog. Elijah Wood was too busy eating second breakfast to speak to us, but his agent was kind enough to tell us:
" In the early days of Angmar, the Witch-king sent forces North to "collect" the remnants of an evil race that was long believed destroyed, but which Sauron's far-seeing eye spied in the ruins of the Northern Waste. These ancient creatures were few in number but great in strength; of Troll-kind but far more cunning, and exceedingly cruel. The name given them was Gorthorog. "

DH sent me a link to this ring when we were engaged, saying that he had found his ring. I thought it an odd choice, quite frankly. However, he is happy happy happy with it and gets lots of compliments on it. Someone asked the other day if it was platinum. So, for the price, I'd say it's an excellent choice for a manly finger, comfortable to wear and pretty in a very macho way. And the more I look at it, the more I like it. Not that that matters.....what matters is that he LOVES it.

Iconic TV and radio announcer Don Pardo has died.
Pardo's booming baritone was perhaps best known for introducing the cast of "Saturday Night Live" for nearly four decades.
His voice was also heard on "The Price is Right" in its early years, and he was the announcer on the original run of "Jeopardy" in the 1960s and 70s.
Pardo retired from NBC in 2004 but kept commuting to New York from Arizona for his "Saturday Night Live" duties.
Eventually he started recording the show's opening from home.
In 2010, Pardo was inducted into the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences' Hall of Fame.
His daughter says he died Monday at home in Tucson.
Don Pardo was 96 years old.

Brow Chakra Workout
Keeping your chakras healthy and functioning well will go a long way towards keeping you in great shape physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. Here I help you assess the health of your brow chakra and suggest ways you can develop it.
The Brow chakra is the second of the 'upper chakras'. This does not make them better than the 'lower chakras' just different in function. Whereas the lower chakras are concerned with your physical existence on this planet, the higher chakras are more to do with your spiritual life.
I suggest working with the three lower chakras in order, then spending time at the Heart Bridge before going on to work with the higher chakras in order as those who neglect the lower chakras can become very ungrounded and find it hard to cope with everyday challenges. Please look at the health of your Base Chakra, Sacral Chakra, Solar Plexus Chakra, Heart Chakra and Throat Chakra if you have not done so already.
The Brow Chakra
The brow chakra is often referred to as the third eye chakra and it is found in the centre of your forehead above and between your physical eyes. This is your centre of sixth sensory perception, or ESP, and it is very active when we work psychically. It relates to the pineal gland in the brain, which has been proven to respond to light.
Well balanced the brow chakra can allow you to view life from a state of detachment, avoiding getting sucked into the emotional turmoil of a situation. You can be receptive and open to intuitive knowledge.
The third eye is especially active in daydreams, meditations, visualisations dreams and visions. These are not bounded by physical rules and can give us an enriched understanding and insight into ourselves and our world.
On the physical level the brow chakra is related to the eyes, ears & nose.
Potential signs of dysfunction
Underactive: depression, confusion
Overactive: recurrent nightmares, mania, neurological disturbances, headaches and hallucinations
Brow chakra Workout
The Bija mantra for this chakra is Aum, or OM, which is the most commonly used of all mantras. Feel it vibrating at the third eye as you chant.
The brow chakra responds well to visualisation, so set time aside to picture things in your minds eye. One lovely exercise for this is to imagine a beautiful garden and then return and plant new flowers and trees. Keep going back there, adding new features and watching your garden grow. It will be a sanctuary for you to go to as well as good exercise for the third eye.
Daydreaming is really just visualisation with your eyes open. Next time you find yourself daydreaming feel less guilty about it- you are working out the third eye!
As you develop your thrid eye you may notice things that you havent seen before with your physical eyes. Dont worry, you are just becoming more sensitive and perceptive.
Deep blue crystals such as lapis lazuli are good to place on the third eye and can help you when visualising.
If you suffer from an overactive third eye you can close it down, especially at night when you want peaceful sleep. Imagine it closing to a tight bud and if necessary put a blindfold over it- a bit like a crazy pirates eye patch!
Watching Anodea Judiths beautiful DVD on the chakras is a bit like an open eyed visualisation. I love it!

Project Rationale and Approach 13 � The user follows analysis using CAPTA with an asset-specific assessment tool, which may include conducting a full engineering assessment that takes into account facility-specific conditions. � Nuclear hazards or threats are not addressed. These catastrophic threats require mitigation and response measures that are beyond the capacity of a transportation agency. � Cyber threats are not addressed. The evolving nature of cyber threats to the operating and con- trol systems of a transportation agency are best addressed by commercial vendors. Standard practice for any agency is to have a robust, up-to-date cyber security plan. � Routine inspection and maintenance issues are not addressed. These operational measures typically do not require high-level strategic capital allocation measures. � The user has available basic data about the assets to be considered under CAPTA, including physical features, cost, and typical usage of an asset. The information requested in the CAPTA Tool, or CAPTool, was specifically designed to incorporate data known to be readily available to transportation agencies. The project team confirmed the widespread availability of these data. � CAPTA will not provide a cost�benefit analysis for any countermeasure. Cost data for coun- termeasures applied for risk mitigation may be quantified. Benefit data, however, are based largely on assumptions regarding the effectiveness of a countermeasure in avoiding or miti- gating the effects of an event. Moreover, these assumptions may be about an adverse event that may never have occurred, and is unlikely to occur. Such assumptions are most common for intentional acts and for operational measures arrayed against a range of threats. Engineered measures have a more reliable data record on which to base an estimate of benefit; however, such tools must be based on a specific measure for specific asset analysis. This kind of specific tactical analysis is beyond the scope of the CAPTA methodology, and any user wishing to pursue such an analysis may benefit from using an asset-specific risk tool. Defining the Problem and Implementing the Solutions The loss of a high-consequence transportation asset could result in casualties, billions of dollars worth of direct reconstruction costs, economic losses, and mission failure for responsible agencies. However, resources do not exist to safeguard every asset owned or operated by an agency. CAPTA attempts to bridge this gap, providing a transparent means to prioritize multimodal assets for resource allocation. Making transportation systems safe and secure is a complex problem that requires balancing mobility, access, and personal freedom with access control, intelligence gathering, screening, and other means. This guide and accompanying computer-based tool provide a resource that transportation own- ers and operators can use in addressing this challenging problem. The most critical element of suc- cess for the CAPTA product is to place the tool in the hands of concerned users so that they can be more effective in evaluating multiple modes of transportation. Transportation industry associations and professional organizations are the natural choices for disseminating this approach. Agencies and associations critical to disseminating this new methodology include those listed in Table 2. Risk and Consequence CAPTA focuses on an explicit challenge to agency management in its planning and budgeting activities. CAPTA encompasses the set of risks flowing from natural hazards and unintentional or intentional events that are not already part of mainstreamed design and standard operational practices. Recent terrorist threats and major natural disasters have stimulated concern over the wide range of risks faced by transportation modes. CAPTA emphasizes the potentially severe consequences from such major events and is an effort to further mainstream risk and security

philoSOPHIA: A Feminist Society
A 250-300 Word Abstract by 01/15/2010 to: email@example.com
Today, notions and forms of the family are being challenged on a global and epochal scale. In response, this workshop aims to bring scholars into an interdisciplinary fold that critically explores the edges of the familial.
Preference will be given to proposals engaging the following four themes, which will function as the organizational grid for the four break-out sessions, each followed by a keynote panel discussion.
(The questions next to each theme are meant to be simply suggestive.)
ï Birth/Genealogy: How is natality tied to family and other forms of non/human association? How do technologies alter notions of reproduction? Where is my ìgene?î Whither ìfamily resemblanceî?
ï Family Work/Care: What is the business of families? What models of interdependence do families nurture? Can househusbands be unhappy? What is responsible parenting? Why ìmaid to orderî?
ï Family in Transition/Trans-Family: What are the problems & promises of ìnon-normativelyî reconstructed families; adoptive, community-based, multi-lingual, transnational, transgender, etc.?
ï Death/Legacy: How does death reunite or reform family, personally or politically?óloss in the family?ófamily secrets? etc. How do classical examples illuminate contemporary phenomena?
Submit a proposal by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com. Please include the following:
ï In the subject line: Session Theme: Your Name, Title of Your Proposal:
(For example: Birth/Genealogy: Jane Smith, ìThe Womb is not a Tree.î)
ï Then in the body of the email message: A 250-300 word abstract; Name, Title, and Institutional Affiliation
ï The programming decision will be made by mid-February, 2010.
ï A possibility of publishing some of the work from this workshop is being currently explored.
ï Confirmed participants include: Carlos Ball (Law, Rutgers School of Law), Lynne Huffer (Womenís Studies, Emory), Kathleen Gerson (Sociology, NYU) and Kelly Oliver (Philosophy, Vanderbilt).

Next, she placed her helmet on her head and strapped it up snugly. Then, she made sure the elastic rope attached to the end of her harness was securely wrapped around a tree nearby.When all the preparations were set, she walked over to the ledge of the cliff face that she and her friends were near. Scootaloo felt the blood in her tiny veins begin to flow and her heart starting to race; the adrenaline was beginning to rise. Her tiny orange wings began fluttering with anticipation with what she was about to do as a determined smile came across her face."Alright, here goes nothing," she said as

Pipe Labeled 'Kaboom' Causes City Hall Evacuation
By editor
Good morning. I'm Steve Inskeep with news of the evacuation of Akron City Hall. Authorities found a suspicious pipe labeled with the word Kaboom. Turns out it was accidentally left behind by Natural Hunka Kaboom, who comes to watch city council meetings. The pipe was an extendable shower rod he used as a walking stick. Mr. Kaboom tells the Akron Beacon Journal he meant no harm and that his name really is Kaboom. He changed it legally to promote his pest control business. It's MORNING EDITION.

I think there IS something to the notion that (probably for evolutionary survival reasons) newborns more strongly resemble the father. In our case, at first, people repeated non-stop that Emma looked like Paul.
Then, in the last few months (she's 2 now), all we're hearing is that she suddently looks "exactly like" me. (I now actually see a fairly even and impressive blend [genetics are amazing]).
So things could still still evolve, Dad.
And on the genetics note, I'm just fascinated about how a second mix of the ole' DNA might turn out this time. I can't wait to see what our second baby will look like. Already, on the ultrasound, I can tell that her nose looks difference (straighter) then Emma's did in the same type of pictures…
