jalapenos w/ bacon, cream cheese
i gotta try the cream cheese crackers. heres another heart stopper/ bowel crusher:
cut fresh jalapenos in half lengthwise. fill the middles with cream cheese. wrap a slice of bacon around each individual half and hold in place for a toothpick. bake until bacon is done. about 325 for 10-15 minutes. just watch, and bake bacon to personal preference. these are even great cold as leftovers. |

Comment: Re:Except inflation (Score 1) 226
Except, it does... Inflation dictates the spatial dimensions occupied by the observable universe and distribution of matter within it.
Inflation does no such thing!! It is ridiculous to even suggest that the most convenient hypothesis thus imaginable, twisted and dressed to match an anthropomorphic observation, from an anthropomorphic vantage point, that is only part of a model within the current accepted paradigm has any authority over long past events, if they even occurred, or any authority whatsoever over the Universe, other than to help deny other ideas and hypothesis from surfacing for mere consideration that do not fit within the accepted current paradigm. Many often make this mistake of getting carried away with the difference between objective reality and the very human attempts to shoehorn it into our larger ideas or understanding, that we're pretty sure are correct, but for all of the arrogance of science, it could in fact just be a very well orchestrated gag.

Industry start date: 1978
Start date with Fund: 2014
The fund brings the power of liquid alternatives to the individual investor through investments with high correlation to inflation and low correlation to traditional asset classes, which may serve to generate a total return that exceeds the inflation rate over a full market cycle. Cliffwater Investments, a subadviser to the fund, leverages the alternatives research expertise of Cliffwater LLC to build portfolio allocations and recommend managers for the fund's underlying investments.
Go to VirtusAlts.com for more information on this fund and the alternative asset class.
Alternative investments are not suitable for all investors.
Debt securities are subject to various risks, the most prominent of which are credit and interest rate risk. The issuer of a security may fail to make payments in a timely manner. Values of debt securities may rise and fall in response to changes in interest rates. This risk may be enhanced with longer-term maturities.
Inflation-linked securities will react differently from other fixed income securities to changes in interest rates. Generally, the value of an inflation-linked security will fall when real interest rates rise and will rise when real interest rates fall.
The market price of equity securities may be affected by financial market, industry, or issuer-specific events. Focus on a particular style or on small or medium-sized companies may enhance that risk.
Investments in Master Limited Partnerships may be impacted by tax law changes, regulation, or factors affecting underlying assets.
The fund may be negatively affected by factors specific to the real estate market, including interest rates, leverage, property, and management.
A fund that focuses its investments in infrastructure-related companies will be more sensitive to conditions affecting their business or operations.
There is a greater level of credit risk and price volatility involved with high yield securities than investment grade securities.
There may be no ready market for loan participation interests. The fund may have to sell the interests at a substantial discount. Such interests are subject to the credit risk of the underlying corporate borrower.
Events negatively affecting a particular commodity in which the fund focuses its investments may cause the value of the fund's shares to decrease, perhaps significantly.
The fund may engage in short sales, and may experience a loss if the price of a borrowed security increases before the date on which the fund replaces the security.
When a fund leverages its portfolio, the value of its shares may be more volatile and all other risks may be compounded.
Investments in derivatives such as futures, options, forwards, and swaps may increase volatility or cause a loss greater than the principal investment.
Investing internationally involves additional risks such as currency, political, accounting, economic, and market risk.
The fund is non-diversified and may be more susceptible to factors negatively impacting its holdings to the extent that each security represents a larger portion of the fund's assets.
The fund's principal investments strategies will result in a consistently high portfolio turnover rate. A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when fund shares are held in a taxable account.
For additional information on these and other risk considerations, please see the fund's prospectus.

Index: Barclays U.S. 10 Year Breakeven Inflation Index
The Barclays U.S. 10 Year Breakeven Inflation Benchmark Index provides exposure to U.S. Breakeven Inflation by taking a long position in On-The-Run (OTR) 10 Year U.S. TIPS and a short position (facilitated by a repo agreement) in nominal comparative duration U.S. Treasury bonds. The index also aims to minimize exposure to real yields by scaling the position of the nominal comparative duration Treasury bonds by a ratio equal to the duration of the OTR TIPS to its corresponding nominal comparative Treasury bond. The index is unmanaged, its returns do not reflect any fees, expenses, or sales charges, and is not available for direct investment.
POP (Public Offering Price) performance reflects the deduction of the maximum sales charge of 5.75%. A contingent deferred sales charge of 1% may be imposed on certain redemptions within 18 months on purchases on which a finder's fee has been paid.
Fund class operating expenses are 2.40% and gross operating expenses are 3.76%.
Operating expenses reflect a contractual expense reimbursement in effect through 04/15/2015.
Operating expenses do not include expenses related to dividends and interest expenses on short positions.

Investors should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of any Virtus Mutual Fund before investing. The prospectus and summary prospectus contains this and other information about the fund. Please contact your financial representative, call 1-800- 243-4361 or visit www.virtus.com to obtain a current prospectus and/or summary prospectus. You should read the prospectus and/or summary prospectus carefully before you invest or send money.
Performance data quoted represents past results. Past performance is no guarantee of future results and current performance may be higher or lower than the performance shown. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate, so your shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.
Average annual total return is the annual compound return for the indicated period. It reflects the change in share price and the reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains. NAV returns do not include the effect of any applicable sales charges. POP and w/CDSC returns include the effect of maximum applicable sales charges.
Returns for periods of less than one year are cumulative total returns.
1 Yields/Distributions: Distribution Yield (at NAV) is calculated by (a) annualizing the latest distribution for fixed income funds or funds less than 1 year old (b) summing all distributions over the preceding 12 months for all other funds, and dividing the NAV on the last business date of the period. SEC Yield represents the net investment income earned by a fund over a 30-day period, expressed as an annual percentage rate based on the fund's public offering share price at the end of the 30-day period. Gross SEC Yield represents the yield if there were no expense reimbursements.
2 Distribution History: Distributions are represented on a cash basis and may be reclassified at year end for tax purposes. The Fund will send you a Form 1099-DIV for the calendar year that will tell you how to report these distributions for federal income tax purposes. STCG: Short Term Capital Gain, LTCG: Long Term Capital Gain
3 Risk Statistics: R2 is a statistical measure that represents the percentage of a fund or security's movements that can be explained by movements in a benchmark index. Beta is a quantitative measure of the volatility of a given portfolio to the overall market. Alpha is a risk adjusted measure of an investment's excess return relative to a benchmark. A positive Alpha indicates that the investment produced a return greater than expected for the risk (as measured by Beta) taken. Standard Deviation measures variability of returns around the average return for an investment fund. Higher standard deviation suggests greater risk. Risk Statistics are calculated using 36 monthly returns.
4 Characteristics: For Equity Funds:Trailing P/E: Per-share stock price divided by the latest12-months Earnings per Share; Price/Cash Flow: Per-share stock price divided by the per-share operating cash flow; Price/Book: Per-share stock price divided by the latest 12-month per-share Book Value; 3-Year EPS Growth Rate: Average of earnings per share growth for latest 3-year period. The 3-Year EPS Growth Rate is not a forecast of the fund's performance.
4 Characteristics: For Fixed Income Funds: Duration represents the interest rate sensitivity of a fixed income fund. For example, if a fund's duration is five years, a 1% increase in interest rates would result in a 5% decline in the fund's price. Similarly, a 1% decline in interest rates would result in a 5% gain in the fund's price.
Morningstar Disclosures:
For each fund with at least a three-year history, Morningstar calculates a Morningstar Rating™ based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for a variation in a fund's monthly performance (including the effects of sales charges, loads, and redemption fees), placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The top 10% of funds in an investment category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars, and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. The Overall Morningstar Rating for a fund is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its 3-, 5-, and 10-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating metrics. Ratings are for the A Shares as shown only; other share classes bear different fees and expenses, which affect performance.
Load-waived A share star ratings do not include any front-end sales load and are intended for those investors who have access to such purchase terms (e.g., plan participants of a defined contribution plan). Not all A share mutual funds for which Morningstar calculates a load-waived A share star rating may actually waive their front-end sales load. Therefore, Morningstar strongly encourages investors to contact their investment professional to determine whether they are eligible to purchase the A share without paying the front load.

SHREVEPORT, LA (KMSS) — An ordinance to amend a general budget to fund a street sweeping program has been adopted.
It has been several years since the city of Shreveport has had street sweepers and now residents can expect to see them again soon.
The program is an effort to address complaints regarding the cleanliness of the city.
The focus is on cleaning highway ramps, intersections, and medians with the help of two street cleaners that are estimated to cost about $600,000
"Like most things you have to provide a funding source for it on a continous basis so it can be sustainable, and so right now we've got the dollars to move forward with initiating it and we'll continue to work with council and the mayor's office and make sure that we have a budget to maintain it," said Stanley Harris, Director of the Dept. of Public Works.
All funding required to support the program will come from the public works budget and as the program expands in the future they hope to include residential streets.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- A criminal complaint says a Tennessee National Guardsman accused of shooting three fellow Guard members at an armory was being relieved of duty because of alleged misconduct.
The complaint written by FBI Special Agent Matthew Ross says Sgt. 1st Class Amos Patton was ordered to go to the armory on Thursday to be notified that he was being relieved of duty.
The complaint says Patton was ordered to return government equipment that was in his vehicle outside the building. Ross says that when Patton returned, he had a "fanny pack" with him.
When Patton tried to access the pack, one Guardsman yelled "gun." The complaint says Patton then opened fire, hitting three Guardsmen.
Ross says Patton then ran from the building before he was subdued by another Guardsman.

"Edge of Darkness" is an emotionally charged thriller set at the intersection of politics and big business. Thomas Craven (Mel Gibson) is a veteran homicide detective for the Boston Police Department and a single father. When his only child, twenty-four year old Emma (Bojana Novakovic), is murdered on the steps of his home, everyone assume that he was the target. But he soon suspects otherwise, and embarks on a mission to find out about his daughter's secret life and her killing. His investigation leads him into a dangerous looking-glass world of corporate cover-ups, government collusion and murder - and to CIA operative Darius Jedburgh (Ray Winstone) who has been sent in to clean up the evidence. Craven's solitary search for answers about his daughter's death transforms into an odyssey of emotional discovery and redemption.

- Release Date: May 4, 2012
- Starring: Emily Deschanel, Jason Ritter, Kathleen Turner, Richard Chamberlain
- Summary:
- Director: Anne Renton
- Genre(s): Drama, Comedy
- More Details and Credits »
Score distribution:
Positive: 2 out of 13
Mixed: 8 out of 13
Negative: 3 out of 13
Make no mistake, though: The Perfect Family is Kathleen Turner's show. And when a series of crises forces Eileen to re-examine her values and beliefs, Turner rises magnificently to the occasion.
It's still a kick to watch Kathleen Turner don a housedress and trade soothing pieties with Richard Chamberlain. The Perfect Family feels like it could have been more than that, but I suppose counting its blessings is the more Christian thing to do.
Watching a consummate pro like Turner navigate an uneven script, veering from farcical determination, her cheeks puffed like those of a demented chipmunk, to utter devastation, can be immensely entertaining, particularly when she's backed by an able cast, as she is here.
While they have all the materials needed for a sharp satire, they're too timid to arrive at any real revelations.
The film's single saving grace is Turner, who channels that legendary Catholic guilt like there is no tomorrow.
The dialogue in the film, directed by Anne Renton from a screenplay by Claire V. Riley and Paula Goldberg, has the loud, mechanical clicketyclack of a 40-year-old episode of "All in the Family."
Having the far from goody-goody Kathleen Turner play a holier-than-thou mother bent on winning a devout church title is an inherently hilarious premise.

Tranmere Rovers Reaction - Rovers
Here's the post match reaction from the Rovers camp after the 0-0 draw at Prenton Park.
Rovers manager, Ronnie Moore was quick to praise the Cherries after the 0-0 draw at Prenton Park, being quoted Bournemouth Evening Echo after the match as saying: "They have had a fantastic season and can be very proud of everything they have done. They were fourth from bottom when Eddie came in and have finished second. I know there were a few long faces in their dressing room after Doncaster had scored with the last kick of their game at Brentford, but they should have been drinking champagne. It shows how professional they are that they really wanted to win the title. It is frustrating for them and it would have been the icing on the cake, but they have been promoted. Ee came second when we won back-to-back promotions at Rotherham and could have won the league on both occasions. Sometimes, second is good enough. In my opinion, they have been the best team in this division this season and have been better than Doncaster. They say the table doesn't lie but, sometimes, it does. Bournemouth won't get any medals but they will be in the same division as Doncaster next season. On another day, they would have beaten us and would have been deserved champions. They had a lot of possession, without testing our young goalkeeper. That is life and you have to get on with it".

What is Augmented Reality? |
Augmented Reality is a new technology wich provides ways to blend virtual imaging into the video stream of a mobile device's camera - in real time.
This page presents the related int13 R&D work & projects.
We strongly believe that Augmented Reality is a promising idea which can enhance the player's gaming experience by providing exciting new ways to control his actions, through position and 3D movement.
Despite their limited computation power, we think handheld devices are the best choice if we want to provide a truly immersive Augmented Reality experience, as most of these devices have a camera on their back, just behind the screen, which is the only way to achieve see-through effect at mass-market cost.

Great card reader
Comments about Verbatim® Universal Card Reader:
This card reader fits about all data cards. I bought for the CF card reader ability for the pictures I take with my Sony Alpha camera. It worked great right out of the package to transfer the pictures I took this last weekend. Cord is a little short, only about 2 feet so you must position it close to the USB port but not a big deal. It's a small convenient size to make it easy to take along on trips. I recommend it to anyone who needs to transfer data regularly from a data card to computer or other device.

Comments about Verbatim® Universal Card Reader:
This universal card read is best used for home use. It cannot stand up to multiple people using it on a regular basis. Have had this reader for less than 1 year. It will not work at all - computer will not even recognize that the device is attached.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Various pro-government groups on Thursday reinforced their solidarity against a possible coup while government authorities went onto full alert for the weekend rally aimed at toppling the Yingluck Shinawatra administration.
Payao Akkahad, mother of the slain volunteer medic at Pathum Wanaram temple on May 19, 2010, led a dozen relatives of the victims of the 2010 crackdown to appeal to Gen Prayuth Chan-ocha, the national army chief, not to support the Pitak Siam rally.
An officer at the Army Headquarters received their appeal letter, which demanded the military protect democracy and the will of the majority of the Thai people.

Well was talking to my dispatcher friend, who knows I want to become some part of LEO as a part time thing only.
He mentioned that a local town is hiring (leaving name out for now) for part time. They just sent two guys to academy who flunked out
He said he could put a good word in for me, so I am applying.
I dont fail things, I refuse to fail.
I have to sign a 2 year contract, not worried about that.
I pretty much have everything under control not worried about it but I figured this forum is here so any tips?

 Will this laser stand up to the recoil from a Remington 870 shotgun? Many lasers do not hold up.

Asked by: Broom

 This item is shockproof. It should hold up to the recoil.

Are you looking for a nutritious snack or way to jazz up a recipe? Look no further than the power of walnuts.
Walnuts have a lot of health benefits and, according to an article on ScienceDaily.com, they help with brain function.
"Diets containing two percent, six percent, or nine percent walnuts, when given to old rats, were found to reverse several parameters of brain aging, as well as age-related motor and cognitive deficits."
The study was conducted by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Human Nutrition Research Center at Tufts University in Boston.
The study said that this could be due to the walnuts' ability to fight inflammation.
"Walnuts contain alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), an essential omega-3 fatty acid, and other polyphenols that act as antioxidants and may actually block the signals produced by free radicals that can later produce compounds that would increase inflammation."
A small study has indicated that this particular member of the nut family could also help you start a family.
According to an article on HuffingtonPost.com, "University of California, Los Angeles researchers found that men who ate 75 grams of walnuts daily -- about two handfuls' worth -- in addition to their regular diets had an improvement in semen quality, compared with men who didn't eat the nuts."
Walnuts could also help in fighting breast cancer. A study out of Marshall University also featured on the site stated, "eating walnuts every day seemed to halve the risk of mice developing breast cancer."
Here are some of my favorite original recipes featuring the wonderful walnut!
• 6 ounces chicken breast cooked and sliced
• 1 cup of romaine lettuce
• 1/2 cup of fresh chopped asparagus
• 1 tbsp. of rice vinegar
• Dash of soy sauce
• 1 tsp. of olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Combine all ingredients and serve cold.
Serving Size – 8 ounces
• Frozen calimari rings
• ½ cup of walnut meal or chopped walnuts (usually found in nut aisle at grocery or health food store)
Hello, Nice article !!! You must have heard that handful of nuts daily is good for your health. But every ones hand size makes a difference. Even if nuts are healthy it's important to know that in what quantity we should eat. Nuts are in general high in calories. But the best choice is to get all benefits from nuts and avoid excessive calorie intake from them . To know more about

Southern Yellow Pine Work Surface #5: Getting Close to Full Width

The first task takes two hours, filming two-thirds of a mile of the ocean floor at a depth of 200 meters. The distance and depth have to be precise, Whaling explains. "This tape will be compared to a tape of the same section taken on June 18, 2004." This way, they can find how life on the ocean floor is changing.
Whaling has been working at MBARI studying bottom-dwelling organisms for more than 15 years. "I go out two to four times a month on average," he says. "We get to the Smooth Ridge sites [where we are today] about six to seven times a year."
The researchers routinely place sediment tubes at different depths, leave them for a month or two, and then recover them. They analyze the sediment to determine what materials are flowing onto the ocean floor - and how much. The nature and stability of the ocean floor affects the life there. More than 95 percent of known marine species are bottom-dwellers. If there are any changes to those creatures, the ocean's food chain could be affected.
2:30 p.m. The next mission of our trip begins - to find and pick up a "homer" left in the area six years ago. A homer guides a boat toward it by "pinging" back when contacted. These devices are left with scientific experiments so that the experiments are easily found when it's time to get the results. The batteries that power the "ping" last about two years. Since the batteries in this device no longer work, "we are picking up our trash," Whaling says.
It is likely that the homer has shifted around quite a bit from its original spot, but we head out to where it was originally left.
Fifteen minutes later, ROV pilots Craig Dawe and D.J. Osborne Jr. use the radar to steer the Ventana probe to areas that look as if they might contain a metal object. Mr. Dawe thinks he's found it - and he has.
The mechanical arms are guided to grab the metal cylinder of the homer. When Ventana emerges, it is grasping a huge robotic fistful of sea anemones that were attached to the homer.
3:30 p.m. Our day's missions accomplished, we begin heading back to shore. The Point Lobos comes out four times a week carrying different scientists who are taking part in a multitude of projects. All of these researchers and engineers are working together and developing cutting-edge technologies to help solve the mysteries of the deep sea.

In 2008, L.A. rock veterans (and real-life couple) Stew and Heidi Rodewald took a break from the Los Feliz music scene to come east—way east— to Broadway. Their show was called Passing Strange and it was a semi-autobiographical look at Stew's Los Angeles childhood and his twenties in Berlin. The critics wet themselves. Passing Strange was nominated for seven Tony Awards. Adam Duritz called Stew "the best songwriter there is working now." Spike Lee filmed the final three performances for posterity, and premiered the movie at Sundance in 2009.
But then Passing Strange closed. Stew and Heidi broke up. And for a while there, it seemed like the one-time pair (who'd previously performed under the moniker the Negro Problem) were done making music together. At least music about their relationship.
Yet! Thanks to the intervention of friends, Stew and Heidi are writing again, opening up barely-scabbed wounds. And at St. Ann's Warehouse in Brooklyn last night, they debuted an hour-long piece called Making It, which deftly chronicles the implosion of a personal relationship amidst sudden public success.
Happy times! So why was Stew so surly last night?
The problem at St. Ann's certainly wasn't the music. The music in Making It is gorgeous, lived-in rock and soul, offering an intimate look at a love affair going off the rails. Sample lyric: "Therapy only works when you tell the truth." And that's just an appetizer. In a song called "Leave/Believe," these two former lovers, Heidi and Stew, sit before you on a stage made to look like someone's living room, singing to each other: "It took a little while for me to see, that you'd stopped believing in me. I wasn't left with much to do. So I stopped believing in you." That's a punch to the gut, followed by a swift kick to the face.
But what seemed to get stuck in Stew's craw was a disconnect between crowd and performer. The audience, apparently more Great White Way than Echo Park, came to Brooklyn to see a work-in-progress sequel to Broadway's Passing Strange. Stew—dressed in an orange prison-issue jumpsuit, because why not—came to rock. An hour into the show, he and his band walked off the stage without a word. Was this intermission? Nah. Stew wanted the crowd to beg for more.
After a few awkward minutes of whispering in the audience, Stew emerged with a beer in hand to some polite applause.
"Don't fake it," he said to the crowd. "I can tell when you're faking it. This is some motherfuckin' bullshit." (Editor's note: This almost never happens at Jersey Boys.)
Stew did eventually play a few more songs, even taking requests from the audience. But he left the older-skewing crowd with a message. "Call your friends. Tell them: 'This is not one of those things where we come to the front of the stage at the end and bow.' We did one of those. It was a detour."
Making It runs through February 22nd.

The 'Science of Sharing' - successful video campaigns
Wednesday, 14th May 2014 at 1:56pm
The 'Science of Sharing' report, by Unruly, examines the timing of campaigns, the use of celebrities and branding, and what emotional triggers work best with viewers.
The report looks at the shares for adverts during Super Bowl XLVIII and compared them to the figures for last year's game.
Describing shares as 'the global currency of social video and a measure of deep engagement', the report also suggests the need for a 'strong distribution strategy' to capitalise on the sharing of content.
Find out more about the report here, or download it here and tell us what kinds of campaigns you like to share.

Charlie the hamster drives a Volvo truck!
Friday, 20th September 2013 at 4:21pm
In this death-defying stunt from Volvo Trucks Charlie the hamster is enlisted to steer a 15 ton truck through a precarious mountain track in Spain.
The stunt highlighted the launch of Volvo Trucks' new steering wheel technology that they claim can make even the heaviest trucks easy to manoeuvre.
Charlie was carefully selected from a long list of applicants from an extended casting procedure - where he was trained to stay focused in a noisy, and unfamiliar environment.
A specially built hamster treadmill was attached to the steering wheel of the truck, meaning that whichever way Charlie ran steered the vehicle.
Take a look at the stunt in the video below, and tell us if you think any of your pets could steer your car.

How to buy and sell cars?
Wednesday, 26th June 2013 at 2:54pm

Now you can play 'Dumb ways to die'
Friday, 31st May 2013 at 5:37pm
Following on from the success of its 'Dumb ways to die' campaign for Melbourne Metro, McCann Australia has produced an iPhone and iPad game built along the same idea.
The game, developed in collaboration with local developer Barrel Of Donkeys, has been the No. 1 free app in Australia for a week, and is charting in 79 other countries.
The concept of turning the viral advert into a game was to continue to encourage younger people to be careful around trains, and avoid dying in a dumb way, as you try to save the characters featured in the video from their fate.
The game is free from itunes.
New Audi ad goes where no advert has gone before
Friday, 17th May 2013 at 2:31pm
In a new advert Audi has brought together two actors who have played the same character. Both Leonard Nimoy and Zachary Quinto have played Spock in the Star Trek movies, with Nimoy portraying the character in the original series and movies and Quinto taking the reigns for the new 'rebooted' movies.
So it comes as no surprise that Audi is asking the question, which Spock is better? In the advert we see the two playing chess online, then a new challenge is laid down.
The commercial is comical, showcasing their latest car, but drawing on some past achievements of Nimoy with an interesting ending.
Created by the same team that produced the viral dollar shave club commercial, Paulilu and agency PMK*BNC.

Thursday, 28th March 2013 at 7:41am
It appears that in Brazil using a woman's shampoo can have strange side-effects, at least that's what we gather from this ad for Dove Men+ Care made by Ogilvy & Mather Brazil.
In this humorous commercial see what happens when a work colleague uses the wrong shampoo.
Definitely an odd one but worth a watch below.

Mid West (Western Australia)
The Mid West region is one of the nine regions of Western Australia. It is a very sparsely populated region located on the west coast of Western Australia, extending about 200 km north and south of its administrative centre of Geraldton.[1] To the east it extends more than 800 km inland to Wiluna in the Gibson Desert.
It has a total area of 472,336 km2, and a permanent population of about 52,000 people, more than half of those in Geraldton. Geraldton is also an important hub for the tourism industry [2]
The economy of the Mid West region varies with the geography and climate. Near the coast, annual rainfall of between 400 and 500 mm allows intensive agriculture. Further inland, annual rainfall decreases to less than 250 mm, and here the economy is dominated by mining of gold, nickel and other mineral resources. The Mid West also has the highest value fishing industry in Western Australia.
Local government[edit]
The Mid West region consists of the following local government areas:
- Carnamah
- Chapman Valley
- Coorow
- Cue
- Greater Geraldton
- Irwin
- Meekatharra
- Mingenew
- Morawa
- Mount Magnet
- Murchison
- Northampton
- Perenjori
- Sandstone
- Three Springs
- Wiluna
- Yalgoo

I just received an email from my mom telling me about a distant relative who has prostate cancer. He was supplementing with flaxseed oil as the doctor, a prostate cancer survivor and specialist, said to stop immediately b/c flaxseed oil is a fertilizer for prostate cancer.
I did a search on this and found nothing. My mom is now all over me about dropping this supplement. Is there any evidence to support this? any counter-evidence?

They should call this "French Vanilla," because although it looks pretty in the jar, when I apply it it looks like that fake yellow color of grocery store brand French vanilla ice cream. I'm sure this shows up beautifully on some people but on me it's a sickly yellow.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Ugh, this looks hideous on me! I don't know what everyone sees in this one. I wanted to love it, like most everyone else. But to me it just looks like chalky white shimmer, with barely a hint of pink anywhere! Maybe I got a bad batch?
In the jar, Vanilla is a fairly ordinary shimmery cream shade. However, once applied, it's much more complex than that: golden pink shimmer. The texture is very finely milled and the color stays true on my oily lids. The only thing I dislike about this is the packaging. It's comes in a black jar, but the jar doesn't have a sifter. It costs $18.50 for 7.5 g/0.26 oz. I wouldn't buy the full-size, but I definitely repurchase samples of it. continued >>

Vanilla is one of those basic colors (a cream color with pink iridescence) that every pigment fan should have. You can use it by itself as a sheer lid wash, you can pack it on for a slightly more dramatic look, you can mix it with cool colors (I often combine it with Clear Sky Blue pigment) or mix it with warm colors, use it as a hilighter...it can pretty much work for everyone.
If you're used to pressed shadow, pigments can take a little time to get used to. It's very easy to find samples, however, so if you're curious swap for one or two.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Vanilla pigment is a off-white shimmery color with a small hint of pink. I'm not a big fan of MAC pigments in general because they tend to be messy and you have to be precise in the amount you get on your brush, because you only need a very tiny amount otherwise it ends up being way too sheeny? (if that even a word)
I mainly use this on my inner corner, or as a highlighter, but you can basically brush on a little bit to add a bit of shine and glow. As I mentioned before a little bit of product gives off a lot of color so it'll last you quite a long time. It comes in an adorable jar, but can be messy at times because there is no sifter. Although this is a really versatile product, I doubt I'll ever use up the entire jar, so I wouldn't repurchase for that reason. But if I ever did, I definately would. continued >>
An extremely versatile product that instantly brightens up my whole face. I have been using it on the inner corners of my eyes, on my browbone, and on my cheeks mixed w/blush. I will never be without this!
I seem like the oddball out here, but i'm really not a huge fan of this pigment. I'm an asian gal with yellow/olivey skin, MMM nc30-35, vitalumiere 30 cendre, and against my skin, this just looks strange. Vanilla is a highly frosty creamy white that flashes pink and green irridescence, if i remember correctly (barely wear this now). This is however, very pretty under the browbone if used extremely lightly. Also nice to add to moisturizer or very lightly dusted over blush. There are other pigment colors i find much more wearable. WIll not repurchase.
Probably the most versitale product I own. Looks amazing as a highlighter on the cheeks, as a highlighter on the lips, as a highlighter or was on the eyes, I imagine if you wanted shimmery body lotion it wold be fantastic for that, the only product I can imagine needing for any highlighting needs. I have abandoned all my other pale shimmery eyeshadows for this as this blends with ANY color at all due to the flashes of both pink(perfect for cool toned looks) and gold(for warm toned colors). I was super skeptical at first, thinking a shimmery white loose powder can't be all *that* fabulous, but it is, and I can no longer imagine my stash without it.
This is my first pigment, and I'm so glad I bought it. It's so versatile and fun to play with! On my light, warm-toned skin, this shows up as a shimmery ivory champagne with gold (I don't see pink at all). Like others have said, it would be helpful to have a shaker-top of some kind - I'm always terrified of knocking the entire jar into the sink and losing it. It's less frosty than I'd imagined it to be; I tried on "Frost" when I bought Vanilla, and it was much frostier, with actual glitter that got all over my face. I bought BE's Nude Beach the same day I got my Vanilla pigment, and they're very similar colors, except Vanilla flashes gold and NB is more beige and complex. I would recommend this pigment to everyone - I think it's great as a wash, highlighter, and to blend and lighten other colors. If I ran out, I'd repurchase, though I don't think I could ever use it all up.
DESCRIPTION OF ME Asian with a warm complexion (C3-C4 in MAC) with strong yellow undertones and some peach. Black hair. Very oily skin that is prone to breakouts.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION Loose powder pigment that can be used on the eyes, cheeks and mixed with lip products. Some people have even used it with nailpolish. Available at MAC counters and stores, and maccosmetics.com. $18.50 for a full-sized jar containing 7.5 g/.26 US oz. I got a glass vial from a previous MAC collection from a swap. It holds approximately a tablespoon's worth.
PACKAGING Full-sized pigments come in a tall tub with a black screw top. It is sturdy but, as many reviewers pointed out, it is a disaster waiting to happen. It is easy to spill pigments and there is nothing that will control the out flow. Adding a shaker top would be a major improvement. I rated the packaging a four out of five.
The glass vial that I have is no better. The mouth and the cap are too small to dip your brush through. It truly is worthless. I transferred the pigment into a bigger tub I bought from Michael's. If you are interested in buying some too, you can look through the paint or beads sections.
COLOR This is the big selling point of this product. In the tub, Vanilla is a shimmery creamy off-white color with gold flecks. It does not look anything spectacular and that is the big reason why I was so skeptical about this pigment. Ooh, shimmer... Big whoop! Just yet another overhyped MAC product. However, on the skin, it turns into a very shimmery duochrome of light gold and fleshy pink. It is wonderfully complex yet versatile. I have never seen anything like it and I own over 150 eye color products.
The first time I tried it, I was hooked. I have been using it constantly as a wash or as a highlighter for browbone or the inner corners of my eyes. The great thing about using this as a highlighter is that you can apply it at the borders of your other eyeshadows and it will soften and blend out any harsh lines or mistakes. It melds with any color I've thrown at it, whether it be a cool baby blue or a hot burgundy. The neat thing is that the gold really melds with warm colors and the pink is really picked up by cools or neutrals. (All psychological, I know.) It is a subtle effect but as particular as I can be (as well as many other MUA members), it makes a whole world of difference.
I've also applied Vanilla with a skunk brush on my cheeks. It imparts just the tiniest hint of pink and it gives a shimmery glow. However, I have to be careful not to apply too much since Vanilla can look too frosty on my warm skintone. Vanilla also amps up matte blushes and, again, helps diffuse blending mistakes.
TEXTURE Very soft on the skin and easily blendable. No complaints here at all.
APPLICATION On my eyes, I apply Vanilla with my finger or with Sonia Kashuk's blending brush. (It is a fluffy teardrop shaped brush that can be used for a sheer, diffuse application.) It is very easy to apply and, if you pick up the right amount, is almost mistake-proof.
Since MAC pigments are loose powders, it is a little bit more inconvenient than a pressed product. However, you can simply work with the pigment that collects on the underside of the screw top. This is a lot better than messing with the inside of the tub and risking spillage.
LASTING POWER All the MAC pigments I have tried stay true and vivid throughout the day but crease on my oily lids. However, I have never had a powder product that never creased on me so I don't hold it against MAC or any other powder product. However, Vanilla doesn't look really obvious and ugly when it creases.
OVERALL FANTASTIC product. Even though I was a hardheaded skeptic towards it, Vanilla has quickly become one of my most used products. I will repurchase if I ever run out and I definitely recommend it. However, as wonderful as this product is, I don't think purchasing full-sized tubs are very practical. The vial will provide me with at least a year's worth and so I see no reason to pay retail for a tub.

quote:What makes/defines an M4?
quote:Well, the M16 is a rifle with an 20in barrel, the M4 variant is in the rifle in carbine family with a 14.5" barrel. The M4 variant also came off the assembly line with a collapsible stock while the 16 came with a fixed butt stock. Both have similar max effective range with the 16 being 550m and the m4 500m, and there are some differences in muzzle velocity as well that I can't remember off the top of my head.
quote:Daniel Defense makes M4's with 16 inch barrels though.
quote:oh so you can't own a true m4 as a civilian thats the 14.5inch barrel?

quote:FWIW, as long as the overall barrel length is 16", your "barrel" can be as long a you want. For example, there are guys running 11.5" barrels with a 5.5" flash hider that is permanently attached. Total barrel length is 16" I run a 14.5" barrel with a permanently attached flash hider for a total length of 16". Its perfectly legal with no tax stamp.

This infographic by Stephens Scown Exeter has highlighted the fact that employment in the UK continues to be driven by small and medium enterprises [SMEs]
Guest Post by Linder Myers
The government has made a number of employment law changes in April 2013 that employers need to know about.
Through having a clear understanding of the alterations and amendments usually made in April and October every year, employers can make sure that their policies and procedures reflect any changes, which can serve to protect them from falling into pitfalls that could result in Employment Tribunal claims being brought against their business.
Redundancy procedure
Employment lawyers can get very excited about clients resigning from employment. How much notice has to be given or why the person is resigning are often key questions; legal claims may be envisaged as a consequence of resigning. For instance, when an employment relationship has gone seriously pear shaped, careful consideration may be given to resigning immediately and claiming constructive dismissal. In most cases then the discussion is about timing, or the reason for leaving.
Guest Post
A new survey carried out by research company OnePoll suggests that pregnant women and new mothers could be being discriminated against by employers looking to lay off staff.
One thousand women were questioned as part of the research, and their answers reveal a problem that appears to be escalating. Pre-recession, it was estimated that 30,000 women per year were losing their job unfairly as a direct result of their pregnancy. It is thought that this figure is likely to be much higher now.
The responses revealed that:
Guest Post
March 14 saw the announcement of the introduction of new rules regarding employment tribunals, with the government attempting to streamline the process.
Employment Relations Minister Jo Swinson made the announcement, bringing to an end a long running review which began in November 2011. Employment tribunals had previously been a lengthy process, surrounded by a great deal of complicated legislation. The changes announced by Swinson are designed to make the process easier for both employees and employers alike, helping to ensure a swifter resolution to any workplace issues. The proposals are expected to come into place during the summer of 2013.

Answer: they've all been sacked for performing the Harlem Shake at work.
The Harlem Shake, m'lud, is the latest You Tube craze in which groups of people dance in a wild, unco-ordinated fashion, in fancy dress, to a piece of music by a fellow called Baauer. It's not to be confused with the song "Harlem Shuffle" by the Rolling Stones, a band with whom you might be familiar m'lud. Yes, you may have seen it at the English National Ballet, m'lud.
It's been a colourful week for ukemplaw. A tale of Apprentices, sharks and headmasters being sacked for wearing Hawaiian shirts and pink socks. There's also a good deal of symmetry, with both cases below involving husband and wife teams dismissed for alleged misconduct, and both couples coming from Wales.
On more serious matters, gagging clauses in NHS compromise agreements have been abolished and the new, lighter, thinner, smarter etc Tribunal rules due to come into force next month, have now been been delayed until the summer, rather than the week after next.
This week is National Apprenticeship Week, which in an unhappy coincidence of timing follows on directly from "Ex-Apprentice's Week" last week. Last Tuesday The Guardian and others reported on "The Apprentice" Series 6 winner Stella English's Employment Tribunal appointment with Lord Sugar. She complained that she had been treated as an "overpaid lackey", her job was a sham and there was nothing for her to do. She claims to have only met the great man five times during her tenure, firstly with Viglen and then You-view, both Sugar group companies. Her contract was not renewed and she brought proceedings for constructive unfair dismissal. For some acerbic comments by Darren Newman on English's case read here.

Guest Post
The redundancy threat has got employees trembling at their desks. In the UK, after three years of recession, job security feels like a distant dream. The 24/7, 'living to work' culture has become worse, meaning that we labour harder for less pay, and sacrifice our family life for career progression. This is neither sane, nor healthy, but someone's got to bring home the bacon.
If you've been made redundant, you're probably experiencing a smorgasbord of emotion, from anxiety to depression. On the one hand, you're concerned that you won't be able to pay the bills, and on the other, you're feeling like you've been thrown on the rubbish heap. Right now, there's one resounding question in your mind: why me?

There are business opportunities that are surely better than others, and there are also financial markets that are larger than others. The foreign exchange market represents the largest global marketplace for trading currency. Check out the following advice if you'd like to get started trading on the Foreign Exchange market.
Foreign Exchange
Foreign Exchange is ultimately dependent on world economy more than stocks or futures. It is important to understand basic concepts when starting foreign exchange, including account deficits, interest rates, and fiscal policy. If you don't understand the fundamentals, you are setting yourself up for failure.
Don't trade in a thin market if you're a new trader. Thin markets are those in which there are not many traders.
Make sure you practice, and you will do much better. Practicing will allow you to get the feel for the inner workings of the foreign exchange market without risking actual currency. There are plenty of DIY websites on the internet. Gather as much information as you can, and practice a lot of trading with your demo account, before you move on to trading with money.
You need to always do your own research before entering into an agreement with any broker. You want a broker that has been performing at least on par with the market. You also want to choose a firm that has been open for more than five years.
When you lose money, take things into perspective and never trade immediately if you feel upset. Staying level-headed is imperative for foreign exchange traders, as emotion-driven decisions can be expensive mistakes.
Do not get too involved right away; ease into forex trading. You could become confused or frustrated by broadening your focus too much. Focus instead on major types of currency pairs; this will up your odds for success, and help you build confidence in the market.
Do not begin with the same position every time. Many traders fall into the trap of opening with the same position. This can cause you to make money mistakes. You need to form your strategy and position based on the trades themselves, and how the currencies are behaving at that moment.
There are account packages for you to choose from that are based on your level of experience and your goals. You should honest and accept your limitations. You are unlikely to become an overnight hit at trading. It is generally accepted that a lower leverage is better in regards to account types. To reduce the amount of risk involved in trading during the learning stage, small practice accounts are ideal. Work your way up slowly to bigger and bigger trades as you become accustomed to world of forex trading.
Don't waste your time or money on robots or e-books that market themselves as get rich quick schemes. Such products are based on trading strategies that are, at best, untested. The only people that make any money from these products are the sellers. Should you want to augment your trading on Foreign Exchange, your capital would be more effectively allocated on one-to-one exercises with a professional trader.
No matter how successful you get in Forex trading, keep a journal that documents all your failures and all your successes. You should document all of your success and all of the failures. You can keep on top of progress and find out where you are going to go next in Forex.
When you start out in Forex trading you need to know what style of trading you will do. If you are interested in quick trades you can use the 15 minute foreign exchange chart and make money in a few hours. Traders using a scalping strategy rely on five and ten minute charts to plan and execute trades that last just minutes.
Foreign Exchange Trading
This handpicked selection of tips and tricks is from successful traders who have experience with foreign exchange trading. There are no guarantees in Foreign Exchange trading, but by using these tips, you have a greater chance of succeeding. Apply the helpful hints covered in this article, and you'll be well on your way to forex success.

Considering that the No. 1 Kentucky Wildcats dominated the No. 5 Kansas Jayhawks, winning 72-40 with relative ease, the question has since been posed as to whether the Wildcats would be able to defeat the hapless Philadelphia 76ers.

Still, for all of the talented, young big men that Kentucky boasts on their roster, Philly still boasts a lineup of grown
Karl Towns, just 18, faces NBA all-stars before Kentucky career begins
Team USA smothered the Dominican Republic at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday night, the inconsequential final score was 105-62, but the Americans didn't have the tallest or most intriguing player in the game. In fact, the tallest and most intriguing player in Wednesday's contest hasn't even started college yet. Meet Karl Towns, the 7-foot-1 big man from New Jersey who plays for the Dominican team and will soon start his freshman year at the University of Kentucky as one of the top NBA prospects

Free agent Shawn Marion is reportedly set to sign with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Reports have been coming in for days that Marion was leaning towards Cleveland.

As an NBA veteran it makes sense that Marion was only interested in a contender, and signing with Cleveland will be an ideal situation for someone attempting to win another championship.

Bauman: Positionless Players Par for the Course in Today's NBA
CHICAGO - If there was anything to be learned at the 2014 NBA Draft combine, it is that when discussing prospects, positions are somewhat blown out of proportion. Despite their size, a prospect must must become very well-rounded in order to reach true star status at the next level. "It's not new to see guys playing multiple positions," Tom Penn, an ESPN analyst, told the Wall Street Journal in 2012. "But we've never seen this many elite players play multiple positions at an elite
Diamonds in the Rough: Five prospects who improved their stock at 2014 NBA Draft Combine
CHICAGO — No, Andrew Wiggins. No Jabari Parker. No Joel Embiid. Since most of the projected upper-echelon 2014 NBA Draft Lottery picks chose not to participate in drills at the combine, the door was open for other players to come in and catch the attention of GMs and scouts in attendance, who were, of course, out in abundance doing their due diligence and networking with just over a month until draft day.

I don't think "Direct" and "Non-Stop" flights are necessarily the same. The former goes from A to B without changing planes but may have one or two stops enroute. The latter has no intermediate stops.
