Your Eternal Reward
" | Behold the phenomenal, cosmic power of this diamond in the rough!
— Your Eternal Reward publicity blurb
" |
Your Eternal Reward is a community-created melee weapon for the Spy. It is a long, ornate dagger with distinctive oriental designs, a team-colored wooden handle, and a curved golden hilt.
This weapon retains the instant-kill backstab ability of the Knife, but with some tweaks. Upon a successful backstab, the Spy will instantaneously disguise as the target without the puffs of smoke that usually surround a disguising Spy. Furthermore, the victim will not scream upon death, nor will a death notice appear in the enemy team's kill feed. Also, the corpse of the victim will fade away almost instantly as if cloaking (unless that user has the Bombinomicon equipped, then there will be the exploding death effect with no fade). Finally, the Spy will not use any voice Responses, including lines for dominations, on a successful backstab to prevent drawing unnecessary attention. The process is so quick and unnoticeable that the Spy is never revealed between disguises. Therefore, Sentry Guns will be unable to target the Spy between backstabs, making it easier to backstab unaware Engineers and sap his buildings. Upon backstabbing someone who is being healed by a Medic, the healing beam will automatically transfer to the Spy. The player still retains the ability to change and reload their disguise weapon, as with the Disguise Kit. Altogether, backstabs become much more difficult to track, as victims disappear silently with the Spy instantly taking their place in battle.
However, the disguise effect is not activated if the target does not die from the backstab; namely, if the target is wearing a Razorback, has the Dead Ringer active when backstabbed, or is invulnerable. This also means that disguising as allied players is impossible. Non-backstab kills achieved will not grant the Spy the victim's disguise and the kill appears in the killfeed, but the kill will still be silent and the corpse of the victim will disappear. Returning to a Resupply locker will remove the current disguise of the Spy.
Since disguises are only available through backstabs, the player cannot disguise at will using the Disguise Kit.
Taunting with Your Eternal Reward equipped will perform the Fencing kill taunt. Kills made will be silent and the victim's corpse will disappear. However, the disguise effect will not be activated even if the taunt hits the victim's back.
The kill icon for the Your Eternal Reward was contributed by Psyke.

- The name is a reference to a scene in the 1992 film Aladdin where Jafar fools Aladdin with his disguise and then attempts to murder him with a dagger that Jafar refers to as "Your Eternal Reward."
- The entry's description in the Polycount Contest furthers this by mentioning the phrases "Phenominal(sic), Cosmic Power", and "Diamond in the Rough", all of which are used in the movie.

The federal government has now been shut down for two weeks.
Despite the impact it's having on countless thousands of federal employees, lawmakers in Washington -- namely, those in the House of Representatives -- are persisting in their self-interested and sophomoric game of brinksmanship, playing chicken with America's economic credibility.
Perhaps the most surprising thing in all of this has been the resilience of the financial markets. For its part, the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC ) finished last week above the 1,700-point threshold for only the second time in history.
But for investors, arguably the most disturbing aspect of this whole ordeal is the stanching of information flow. Since the onset of the shutdown, there have been 14 critical economic reports that should have been published but haven't.
We still don't know, for example, what the unemployment rate for September was. Nor do we know how retail sales are faring. Nor are we aware of the updated trend in consumer or producer prices.
The point being, when the shutdown does officially end, there's going to be a considerable amount of data for analysts and investors to ingest in an abnormally compressed amount of time.
With this in mind, I've gathered up a list of the most important economic releases that have been delayed as a result of the shutdown:
Metric |
Construction Spending |
Nonfarm Payrolls |
Trade Deficit |
Wholesale Inventories |
Consumer Price Index |
Retail Sales |
Industrial Production |
Factory Orders |
Unemployment Rate |
Job Openings |
Federal Budget |
Producer Price Index |
Business Inventories |
Capacity Utilization |
What will happen when the government opens back up and this information starts flowing out? That's anybody's guess. However, one way to ensure that it doesn't hurt your portfolio is to invest in companies that are positioned to soar in the future.
A handful of companies that fit this description have been identified in our newest free report about three stocks investors can hold forever. To access this free report instantly, simply click here now.

Potato and Cheese Pierogies
Wednesday, January 30, 2013
46 comments:
that is such a nice tradition!:) and how cute are these pierogies! i'd love some with a load of sauerkraut:):) and i love to spend some time in the kitchen with hubbs too. those days of working together are so few and so fun.
My grandma used to make a load of laddoos(sweet chickpea balls) and drop them by around march and then later again in november.. :)My boyfriend eats pierogies every year at Christmas time. I'll have to show him this recipe. Thanks for sharing!!!
ReplyDeleteYum! I love pierogies! I tried making vegan ones years and years ago, and they were quite good. But I'd forgotten all about them. Now that I can eat whatever I want again, I should try these!
P.S. I added a short paragraph about how the cleanse made me feel to my post. It's not terribly exciting though because, honestly, it didn't feel much different. Healthier, yes. But no matter how much healthier I feel, my soul dies a little when I deny it Daiya. :-)What a fun family tradition! It never occurred to me to make my own pierogies, Justin loves them but we haven't had them since becoming vegan - thanks for sharing this recipe!
ReplyDeletePierogies! I have to admit that I usually buy ours frozen, but I've had homemade a few times, and they are clearly worth the time & effort. Must try making them at home for real!
ReplyDeleteOhmygosh,those are huge! In a good way though. I love the thought of digging into a plate full of giant pierogies. They're seriously my fave comfort food & thankfully G's mom keeps our freezer stocked with the ones they make at her Slovak church. Awesome to know that there's actually a gluten-free dough recipe that works!
ReplyDeleteOkay, I really really REALLY need to make pierogies. I grew up on them as a kid and they are one of my favorite comfort foods, but I've felt too intimidated to make them myself. I keep seeing them on blogs lately though, so I think it's a sign. :) Although I'm sure mine won't look half as nice as yours!
ReplyDeleteThese look fantastic! :) I'm a huge fan of pierogies! It's a staple here in Winnipeg. We have a huge Ukrainian population, so homemade pierogies are easy to come by. Love this gluten free version though! I know a number of gluten-free friends will be SO happy to have this recipe on hand! Awesome post! xo
ReplyDeleteThese look so tasty! I used to buy the frozen pierogies before I really started cooking, but I haven't had them in a long time. It actually sounds pretty easy to make them yourself though, and the texture of your dough looks much more appealing than the rubbery kind you get with the frozen ones!
ReplyDeleteUgh your blog is so great! I love the quality photos, the simple recipes. Definitely a new favorite - I can't wait to try your belgian waffle recipe that's a few posts down!
veganstate.blogspot.comoh yum! this looks so delicious, I've been wanting to make some Pierogies, my mom used to make some when I was younger and oh they were my sister and I favorite !!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you stopped by my blog so I could find yours!!! These pierogies look fabulous! As do many of your recipes. And I must say that I love your short curly hair- definitely a vintage style that I adore :)
ReplyDeleteI have never eaten pierogies before, but these look great! And I love sauerkraut, and anything with potatoes and cheese, so I can imagine they're delicious! I need to try these! :-)
ReplyDeleteThese sound tasty! I've never made pierogies, I've made potstickers (they seem to be similar), rissoles and other dumplings... But I'll need to try these. Nice blog btw. :)
ReplyDeleteI love pierogies so much, but I've only made them from scratch once. When I was vegetarian instead of vegan, I'd often buy them frozen. Yours look so fantastic, and the story that goes with them is so sweet. It makes me want to devote another afternoon to pierogi-making!
ReplyDeleteThese look super delicious, and I am just about to make them, but one thing! 1-1/2 vegan cheese. I am guessing you mean this in cups, right? But does this mean one and a half cups? Or one to one-half cups? Or...?
I'm going to go ahead and make them and just shoot for a sprinkling on each like you have pictured, but wanted to clarify anyway. :) Thank you for the recipe!You had me at potatoes and cheese!! :) Though probably not the traditional way to make pierogies, could you possibly bake them instead of fry them? I try to avoid frying things as much as possible.

FITZPATRICK (Morgan) CEMETERY, LEWISBURG HWY., CULLEOKA, TENNESSEE
This is a view of the Fitzpatrick Cemetery from inside the rock wall. The memorials are labeled per the inscription on the stone. Except for the Ida Bailey memorial the first row was not populated with memorial stones but contained unmarked graves and 2 graves marked only with field stones or others areas of unused plots. Tracking down the rows from stone to stone actually began on the second row going south and really was largely concerned with that row. An attempt to photograph the field stones was made early on by going around the outside and photographing those. I estimate the size of the cemetery to be about 50 feet east to west by 70 feet north to south. As you can see by the visible farm and nearby homes a visit to this cemetery will need permission from nearby land owners and special care not to disturb livestock.

Northland Country Club
IT'S TOO COLD UP HERE to be a hotbed of golf. But Northland Country Club, on the western shore of Lake Superior, 150 miles above Minneapolis-St. Paul, is a gateway to the fabulous recreation area of the state's Boundary Waters region. Outdoor sports abound-not just hunting, fishing and boating, but also golf, at least during the five-month respite from winter.
Donald Ross came here in the 1920s, when Duluth was among the country's most prosperous communities, thanks to mining, lumber, railroads and shipping. His design of Northland Country Club evokes the spirit and sensibility of classic linksland golf, though on ground that's rocky, not sandy. The bluff just east of downtown on which this private club sits overlooks Lake Superior and the Wisconsin shoreline and provides visual drama that's rare for classic-era courses.
The par-72 layout, 6,825 yards (73.1 rating/133 slope) ambles up through 200 feet of elevation change to form an "out and back" country walk that's unencumbered by housing or development. Superintendent Chris Tritabaugh's commitment to firm, fast conditions is complemented by a dazzling array of native fescue roughs. Every green is a puzzle to decode, with the interpretation of slope made all the more confounding because of the underlying topography and scale of the place.
The course starts modestly, then picks up steam. By the time you've played your way to the 18th fairway and an approach shot that aims at Northland's Palladian-style clubhouse, you'll understand why this northern gem ranks No. 84 on Golfweek's best classic courses list.
Northland Country Club is at 3901 E. Superior St. in Duluth, Minn.
For information, call (218) 525-1941 or visit
This facility, 10 miles west of the golf course, has a 10,162-foot runway.

Aversion to Inflation
Obviously, the more averse you are to inflation, the higher your allocation to TIPS should be. For example, if you're retired, inflation may be a bigger concern than it would be for someone still in the workforce.
Real Yields
Another consideration is if TIPS yields are high or low relative to the real return on nominal bonds of the same maturity. The higher TIPS yields are relative to the historical real return on nominal bonds, the greater the allocation to TIPS and the longer the maturity can be.
The following is a table showing the historical real returns of nominal return bonds from 1926 through November 2009. Keep in mind that this doesn't tell us what the real return on outstanding nominal bonds will be. That requires a clear crystal ball.
Five Years | 2.17% |
10 Years | 2.26% |
20 Years | 2.43% |
This is the amount of past inflation already built into a secondary TIPS purchase. All else equal, consider the bond with the lower inflation factor.
The Steepness of the Current TIPS Yield Curve
Generally speaking, the steeper the curve, the more you should consider extending the maturity of the TIPS you buy. However, it's not as simple when yields are low but the curve is steep. Low yields indicate keeping maturities short, while the steep curve suggests extending them. This may boil down to whatever you feel more comfortable owning.
Historical Yields
The following shows current and mean yields of TIPS since 1997 (when TIPS were first introduced).

Five- and 10-year TIPS yields are below their historical mean. They're also 11 percent and 61 percent 3 percent and 11 percent of historical real returns, respectively. In contrast, the 20-year TIPS appears more favorable as its current yield is 91 percent of its mean and 82 percent of the 20-year real return.
Given the current positive slope of the TIPS curve, you can pick up additional yield for increasing maturity without taking inflation risk.
Those currently looking for the "sweet spot" for TIPS might consider the TIPS of 2025. Here's why: The current yield on the TIPS of 2020 is about 1.4 percent and the current yield on the TIPS of 2025 is about 1.9 percent. Thus, there's an extra 10 basis points a year currently available by extending the maturity from 10 to 15 years.
However, extending beyond 2025 results in an incremental yield of just a few basis points for each additional year. That might not be high-enough compensation for the extension risk, given that yields are below historical averages.

Early warning with calibrated and sharper probabilistic forecastsTools Machete, R. L. (2013) Early warning with calibrated and sharper probabilistic forecasts. Journal of Forecasting, 32 (5). pp. 452-468. ISSN 1099-131X Full text not archived in this repository. To link to this article DOI: 10.1002/for.2242 Abstract/SummaryGiven a nonlinear model, a probabilistic forecast may be obtained by Monte Carlo simulations. At a given forecast horizon, Monte Carlo simulations yield sets of discrete forecasts, which can be converted to density forecasts. The resulting density forecasts will inevitably be downgraded by model mis-specification. In order to enhance the quality of the density forecasts, one can mix them with the unconditional density. This paper examines the value of combining conditional density forecasts with the unconditional density. The findings have positive implications for issuing early warnings in different disciplines including economics and meteorology, but UK inflation forecasts are considered as an example.

Election Night
Every so often, in a democratic country, there are elections. (Unless it's that kind of democracy.) Therefore there must be election results.
An exit poll will be made and there will be intense discussion about it until the results start to trickle in.
Features of UK Election Nights:
Features of US Election Nights:
Features of Canadian Election Nights:
Features of Australian Election Nights:
Features of New Zealand Election Nights:
Features of UK Election Nights:
- The Swingometer: an arrow that swings left or right depending on whether voters have swung left or right. Operated by Peter Snow until 2005.
- Other silly computer graphics are also common, including holograms in the 2010 coverage.
- Especially when Jeremy Vine imitates a cowboy (2008 local elections).
- Other silly computer graphics are also common, including holograms in the 2010 coverage.
- Live declarations of important seat results (such as ministers in marginal seats, a possible minor party win, or seats that are considered essential for a party to win).
- The General Elections (not local or European elections) will most likely have Rick Wakeman's "Arthur" as its theme. (omitted in the 2001 & 2010 elections when more generic music was used).
- David Dimbleby. It's theorised that he lives in cryogenic storage and only comes out to do elections and Question Time.
- Sir Robin Day (until 1992)
Features of US Election Nights:
- Dan Rather's weird comments on CBS (until 2004)
- Live declarations of Congressional seat results, especially your regional ones as the broadcast networks set aside around 10 minutes per half-hour for the local affiliates' coverage.
- The "Red State/Blue State" map, where states won by Republicans are colored red, and states won by Democrats are colored blue. This color scheme did not become standard until after the 2000 election. Color schemes before then had varied. Not by much, but some news agencies used to use red for Democrats and blue for Republicans, and to this day "polls still open" "too close to call", "independent/third-party" and so on are not at all standardized (although where they have to be included, the Greens have a pretty solid hold on green).
- Results coming in waves at the top of the hour (and occasionally just after the half-hour marks) between 7 PM and midnight Eastern time, as the country is spread across six time zonesnote and each state sets its own time for when the polls close.
- Presidential election years only: Wild Math Guessing as the results come in and pundits try to figure out how each candidate can get to 270 electoral votes with what they have and the remaining states. If they talk about a candidate having "flip" Texas or California to winnote , it's basically already over.
- In recent midterm years: Full election coverage on PBS and cable news channels only while the commercial broadcast TV networks show regularly scheduled entertainment programming with news breaks only when new results are available.
- For stations which haven't upgraded their graphics for a long time, all shows are aired in in Squash-O-Vision to display election results and let viewers know moment by moment the newest results of that critical East Sioux Falls school board race.
- In recent midterm years: Full election coverage on PBS and cable news channels only while the commercial broadcast TV networks show regularly scheduled entertainment programming with news breaks only when new results are available.
- Graphics one-upmanship between networks. CNN had a hologram. A freaking hologram, not to mention the Magic Wall map.
- This is subverted by the late Tim Russert of NBC who achieved awesomeness by having a dry-erase board and a marker. Most famously, he wrote "Florida! Florida! Florida!" on it when the 2000 election came down to the controversial Florida vote.
- How about the fact that NBC literally uses Rockefeller Center for its coverage; placing the electoral map on the ice rink, and using the main GE building for the electoral count.
- Parodied by Saturday Night Live during the 2008 election. See here (occurs at the 1:25 mark).
- This is subverted by the late Tim Russert of NBC who achieved awesomeness by having a dry-erase board and a marker. Most famously, he wrote "Florida! Florida! Florida!" on it when the 2000 election came down to the controversial Florida vote.
- For Presidential elections: intense and breathless monitoring of the "swing" states, i.e. states that aren't reliably Republican or Democrat and therefore the results actually are up in the air. (Massachusetts, for instance, is going to go to the Democratic candidate, period. Ditto, say, Oklahoma for the Republicans.) These are the states that actually decide elections. The usual suspect for all this wild speculation is Ohio, where the returns are tracked obsessively and to the minute.
- Florida being too close to call for days after Election Day itself. Has been a running joke since 2000.
Features of Canadian Election Nights:
- Rick Mercer.
- Parliamentary districts are known as "ridings".
- Western blackouts. Western Canadians have to wait until their polls close before they can find out the results in other provinces. It's the law.
- This means all streaming of radio and television in Canada comes to a screeching halt. The election authorities got really touchy in the April 2011 election about Eastern poll results being mentioned at all on Twitter and Facebook before closing, though they didn't actually charge anyone with committing a crime.
- Similar to the US, party colour maps are applied. As of 2011, 5 different colours have been applied (Liberal red, Conservative blue, New Democrat orange, Bloc Quebecois light blue, and Green, um, green).
Features of Australian Election Nights:
- The population being reminded of the more bizarre Parliament seat names, such as "Mayo" and "Batman".
- Antony Green.
- A frontbencher from each part playing a game of civility chicken.
- Boneheads trying to get on camera in the background behind the broadcasters, especially on Channel 7.
- A comedy group getting just as many, if not more viewers than the major channels as they cover the election their way.
- Both candidates saying the other candidate winning will be the end of the world, and then conceding that it's not in a civil manner after their loss.
Features of New Zealand Election Nights:
- Breaking live crosses to the Prime Minister's house every time his wife goes out the garage to get more beer, or a car clearly marked "Pizza Hut" pulls in the front gate.
- Running commentary on the Epsom electorate vote results as they come in.

Building on a successful pilot project launched in three Vermont counties, Gov. Peter Shumlin and Agriculture Secretary Chuck Ross today announced the statewide expansion of the Workplace Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) Program, which enables Vermont state employees to conveniently purchase locally grown food and produce at numerous sites around Vermont. More than 30 employees participated in the pilot project in 2012, nearly 75 percent of whom had never previously participated in a CSA. Of those, almost all plan to reenroll.
�Community Supported Agriculture programs are a way for Vermonters to support their local farmers, and eat healthier,� Gov. Shumlin said. He said other employers across the state are serving as CSA delivery sites for their employees � a win-win for their staff, their local farmers and the overall health of their workplace.
"Participating in the delivery program enabled our farm to easily expand our membership by 20 percent and offer our vegetables and pasture-raised meats to a new market,� said Laura Olsen of Green Mountain Girls Farm in Northfield. Her farm, now in its fourth season, participated in the state�s pilot CSA program, delivering produce to seven employees in Montpelier, Barre and Berlin last year.
"We applaud the State for its leadership in connecting employees and farmers,� Olsen said. �By making a small investment in logistics, the state's employees and farms are benefiting."
Through a CSA, consumers can sign up for a seasonal share of a farm�s produce; terms vary among farms, but typically the consumer pays a set fee for regular deliveries of fresh produce. The CSA concept � which gives farmers budget predictability, while providing consumers with seasonally fresh food � is growing in popularity. Based on Census data, Vermont boasts the most farmers� markets and CSAs per capita, earning this state the honor of being the most �localvore� state in the nation.
�I am pleased to offer new market opportunities to our CSA farms and see more local food consumed in our state,� said Secretary Ross. �We see this program growing consumer awareness around the diversity and quality of food available in our state.�
Last year the state implemented the pilot project in four state office buildings in Washington, Windsor and Addison Counties, with four local CSA farms participating. Ross said 44 farmers are interested in participating in the expansion, at least one in nearly every county in Vermont. The number of state building delivery sites will depend on the level of state employee interest in those areas, Ross said. But based on the interest in the pilot counties, Ross said he is optimistic that the expanded program will be successful.
The Governor said roughly 15 state buildings statewide have been identified as potential drop-off sites. In addition, the state will sponsor �Meet Your Farmer� meetings across the state to allow employees joining the CSA to get to know their food producers and ask any questions.

The President's position on marriage isn't the only thing that's "evolving." So is his strategy to destroy it. While Americans were buying sparklers and hamburger buns, the Department of Justice (DOJ) took advantage of the holiday weekend to file an explosive brief in a Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) case. Although the timing escaped the country's attention, it didn't fool legal experts. "[T]he [Justice Department] was not eager to call attention to it," wrote David Stout–a suspicion confirmed when the DOJ refused to publish the filing on its website. The woman at the heart of the case, a Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals lawyer, sued the government for denying her "wife" health insurance. Attorneys for the House of Representatives (the same ones who took over DOMA's defense when Obama would not) argued that the suit should be dismissed.
The Obama administration disagreed. In its radical brief (so radical that the San Francisco Chronicle said it " reads like a gay rights manifesto"), the President's attorneys argue that the marriage law is unconstitutional because it was motivated by "hate." That will surprise the 85 Senators, 342 House members, and President Clinton who supported it. More importantly, it might stun the majority of Americans–and prospective Obama voters–who still believe in marriage as the union of a man and woman. As someone who knows the political advantages of supporting man-woman marriage, I question the wisdom of any candidate who calls more than half the country "haters" on the eve of their reelection campaign. Is it "hateful" to think an age-old institution shouldn't be changed on the whim of a vocal minority? Obviously, this administration is dramatically shifting its agenda. Not only has it left DOMA defenseless–but its attorneys are joining the attack. As the AP points out, the Obama brief "is the first court filing in which [the DOJ] urged the court to find the law unconstitutional." In other words, the DOJ is encouraging the court to engage in judicial activism by ignoring its own legal precedent!
Unfortunately for Americans, California's judges weren't finished making news yesterday. Despite the fact that Congress is still debating the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" repeal democratically, a three-judge panel of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals decided to stick its nose in Washington 's business and fast-track the implementation. Yesterday, judges ordered the government to stop enforcing the ban on open homosexuality immediately–muddying the waters of an already complicated process. For the last several months, the armed forces had been evaluating how best to implement the change. Instead of letting them do their job, the court usurped the role of Congress, the President, and military leaders in setting policy. Now the Pentagon's plans have been thrown into complete chaos as the military scrambles to comply with the ruling. Of course, nothing would make this President happier than having the courts to blame for the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" repeal. When the military implodes with the problems of his coming out party, Obama will have the perfect political cover. With the service chiefs more and more reluctant about how to integrate homosexuals, Obama is clearly looking to circumvent what is already a flawed process. But in doing so, the President is shirking his responsibility to defend a process that he started. It's incumbent on the commander-in-chief to see the certification through–not wash his hands of it and make the military victims of judicial activism.

When you are looking for a new 1 bedroom apartment in Dallas, searching online can be one of the best ways to find the most listings in the shortest amount of time. The internet is a particularly helpful resource for those who are moving from another city to Dallas. There are many different apartment directories available to choose from, with some being city specific and some having listings across the country, and even across the world. While you can be spoiled for choice, it's still important to have a good idea of what exactly it is that you are looking for before you begin your search.
Most people assume that a 1 bedroom apartment in Dallas is going to be cheap, so it will save them money by renting it over a larger one. This can be true, but isn't always the case. Depending on the area of the city, as well as the building that is being investigated, a 1 bedroom apartment in Dallas can vary greatly in price. As such, it is important to determine how much you can afford for rent and search up to that limit. Also, remember to take into consideration other payments you may have to make, such as utilities if they are not included in the monthly rent.
The size and layout of the apartment are also important factors to think about. Of course, you want to get the most square footage that you can, but you should also consider how the rooms are shaped and the layout of features within them. The placement of doors, windows and closets can affect the usability of a room, so your furniture may only fit in one particular way. This can affect how much you enjoy living within your 1 bedroom apartment in Dallas.

Motel Fire Kills 2 in Illinois
WASHINGTON PARK -- A fire at the Econo Inn early Sunday left a man and a woman dead and another woman injured, authorities said.
Katrice Carraway, 25, of East St. Louis, died in the fire, according to her cousin, Lawanda Carraway. Police were unable to confirm the name of the man who died.
Lawanda Carraway said her cousin was three months pregnant. "She just found out a month ago and was so excited," she said.
The two cousins worked together at a tire business.
"The most likely cause of death was smoke inhalation," Washington Park Fire Chief Raymond Mix said. "But you would have to talk to the coroner."
Al Ransom, an investigator with the St. Clair County coroner's office, could not be reached to verify the cause of death.
According to the motel registry, there were six to 10 people staying there that night, Mix said.
One woman was able to escape the 4:45 a.m. blaze by squeezing through the bars that are attached to the windows, said Detective Leon Hughes of the Washington Park Police Department.
"She was taken to a local hospital," Hughes said, "most likely Kenneth Hall Regional Hospital."
A spokesman for Kenneth Hall Regional Hospital in East St. Louis said the hospital treated someone for smoke inhalation who was transferred to St. John's Mercy Medical Center in Creve Coeur, Mo. The Kenneth Hall spokesman was unable to disclose more information.
The Econo Inn, which is off the Kingshighway exit of Interstate 64, has been closed due to the smoke and fire damage. Workers were at the motel Sunday morning boarding up the windows.
Lawanda Carraway said she did not understand why the bars were placed over the motel windows.
The cause of the fire has not yet been determined.
Mix said he will visit the motel this morning with the fire marshal in an effort to determine the cause of the fire.

Finishing up my reading for the exam coming up, I ran across the section about decision making and found some components of decision making interesting. Specifically I found that framing, or the way a question is formulated that can affect the decisions we make. After learning about framing I realized how often framing is used in everyday life. For example, I know that framing is insanely evident in politics and marketing.
Persuasion is a manipulative tool that is often used during political campaigns when citizens such as ourselves are trying to make important decisions, such as, who is going to run our country for the next four years. A key way that politicians help coerce our thinking to their side of the battle is through framing of questions. Obviously, the main goal of a politicians campaign is to motivate us to stand behind what they're saying and in order for them to do this they must make their stances seem as significant and correct as possible. We've all heard and seen political campaigns that make claims that are seemingly the right choice, but is it really their point that we are believing, or is it the way that their point is being stated?
This ad used in a recent political campaign is asking us a basic question, but because of the way that question is stated, it makes us rethink the question in a new light and make ultimately affect our decision making.
Framing plays a huge roll in decision making and may be affecting us even when we don't realize it.

Wooden Shoes
5377 Views
People from all over the world still think that the Dutch wear clogs or wooden shoes every day. If you're one of those people, we're sorry to disappoint you. Contrary to popular belief, most Dutch people don't wear clogs anymore. The only group of people that still wear them are rural workers.
Dutch Clogs
Clogs keep your feet dry, are very safe and wearing them is even considered to be healthy. The European Union acknowledged this and gave the clog a CE mark. Currently, there are 25 traditional clog makers who like to demonstrate the profession of clog making.
Besides a group of rural workers there's only one other group of people that enjoys buying and wearing clogs; tourists like you. Today most clogs are sold to tourists from all over the world that want to bring home a typically Dutch souvenir.
Souvenir from Holland
You know what to do if you want a picture of someone wearing clogs. You need to travel to the countryside in search for farmers and rural workers. Or buy them yourself at one of the tourist shops and have your picture taken.

CAN you get pregnant a couple days after ovulation??
or can you only get pregnant during ovulation??

No. You can get pregnant starting roughly the 5 days before ovulation, through the day after. This is because the egg is only viable for a max of 24 hours after you ovulate (the eggs life span range is 12-24 hours). If you get pregnant this cycle, it would be because you ovulated later then you expected.posted 08/06/2012 by Tiffybaby123
while you are much more likely to get pregnant during ovulation, you can technically get pregnant at any time.posted 01/26/2011 by a BabyCenter Member

Michael Stefano, Brooke Banner, Erik Everhard, Mark Davis, Alexis Silver, Gianna Michaels, Jordan Ash, Evie Delatosso
Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: Big Bust
Gianna and Erik Everhard ignite this latest big-boob series entry, consumed by passion and lust as they roll around the floor and furniture like two strangers fucking for the first time. Fuck-ready Gianna shows she's as limber as she is busty as Erik bends her over a couch and then stands over her and pile drives his cock into her wet hole. It's as if there's no cameraman in the room ... and none of the other couples match these two for eye contact, horniness and outright lust.
That's not to say that Brooke Banner sucking on an ice cube isn't erotic, and Evie Delatosso's tits really get to flopping when Mark Davis fucks her from behind. The best titty-fuck here goes to Alexis Silver, who pushes her massive mounds together to completely surround the cock before it erupts into her waiting mouth.
Retailing: Plenty of heat and passion for even the non-big-boob fan.

A friend gave me this as a gift and I have grown to love it when I use it with makeup. I use foundation mixed with a little eye de-puffing gel but first I use this cream and I love how rich,creamy and soft it feels going on. My foundation glides over this cream beautifully. I have noticed wrinkle improvement. I am not so sure about the lifting effect. Anyway, I am using this now instead of Clinique's All about Eyes under my makeup. I used it for years but as I get older I found I need more moisture and the Mary Kay Timewise firming eye cream gives me that.
Age: 36-43
Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Brunette, Other, Other
Eyes: Green
I have been using this product for several years. I am 41 years old and have no visible wrinkles around my eyes. You literally have to look through a magnifying glass or mirror to see the small ones I have.
My tip would be for women to start using this product at around the age of 30 or so to prevent wrinkles. I didn't by it to get rid of wrinkles at that age because I had none. I bought it to prevent them and it has worked.
I do not purchase through Mary Kay consultants but instead look for other avenues which have been successful and money saving. I'm sure if you any of you think about it, you can figure out where to look for it.
Again, this product is something that will totally benefit you if you start using it at the right time. For those of you that have used it and not stuck with it because your results weren't quick enough....it took time to get those wrinkles, it will take time to reverse them. Don't give up!
If anyone has any questions, I will gladly answer them :)
Age: 25-29
Skin: Acne-prone, Fair, Cool
Hair: Blond, Wavy, Fine
Eyes: Blue
This product does as it says it will; it firms and eliminates fine lines and wrinkles. I don't care for the mechanism by which this achieved however. I can't speak for others, but for me, it causes such swelling of the tissue under which the product was applied that the skin "firms" and "eliminating fine lines and wrinkles" by increases skin tension from swelling! It does the same for my sister in law and cousin as well. No thank you.
Age: 36-43
Skin: Acne-prone, Fair-Medium, Warm
Hair: Blond, Other, Other
Eyes: Brown
The older I get, the harder it is to find an eye cream that actually works. I bought this in hopes that it would improve the fine lines around my eyes and help the crepey texture under my eyes. This product did both, and delivered pretty quickly. I didn't have high hopes about firming or lightening of under eye circles, but I also noticed some slight improvement there. On the nights I get lazy and don't apply this, I can REALLY tell the difference in the morning.
I did read the reviews about it stinging. You do have to be careful to keep the application around the orbital bone. For me, a full pump is way too much product. Half a pump is plenty.
Age: 18 & Under
Skin: Very Oily, Fair, Not Sure
Hair: Black, Other, Other
Eyes: Brown
I'm not sure what this product is claiming to do I only were this for a moisturizer around my eyes and eyelid area because I tend to feel this area dry after a shower and at night so yea...
Age: 30-35
Skin: Combination, Fair, Not Sure
Hair: Red, Other, Other
Eyes: Brown
At first I was really impressed with this product, but after using it for almost 2 months I am no longer impressed. It only tightens up the wrinkles for about an hour. What I do like about this product is that it keeps the skin around my eyes feeling soft and moisturized. However, this also leads to raccoon eyes with mascara.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Oily, Fair-Medium, Warm
Hair: Red, Relaxed, Coarse
Eyes: Hazel
I have a friend who's a MK consultant, and I read these great reviews before purchasing this eye cream, since I needed something desperately for the darkness under my eye area and for preventing wrinkles. To better describe my problems, I have dark hollow eyes with visible veins all over. Some areas are purple and some are red, which is one of my biggest insecurities. I bought this with the hopes the issue could improve a little, so I didn't have to consider laser treatment at the dermatologist's office. I've been using this for four weeks now, before applying makeup and sometimes at night. I haven't noticed any improvement on my problems, except I can glide my concealer very nicely after applying it (and the skin feels somewhat tight), but that's about it. It costed $30! Which is a huge amount of money considering it does nothing. Oh, and it can make you develop milia is you use it too much, believe me. My advice, keep searching for something less expensive and better. That's what I'll do. I'm still searching for a better eye cream :(
Age: 36-43
Skin: Dry, Fair, Not Sure
Hair: Brown, Other, Other
Eyes: Brown
I did an experiment, using it only around my right eye. I've been using the product for a few weeks and enjoy the way it moisturizes but I've seen no difference in the fine lines under my eye. I haven't seen an improvement in my under eye circles either. I'm not saying I'm doubting Mary Kay's products, I use several others. I'm just saying this one doesn't work for me. Maybe I'm not old enough.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Combination, Olive, Warm
Hair: Black, Wavy, Medium
Eyes: Brown
My holy grail product!! No lie. I am 20 years old and have had sleeping problems for years, because of that I HAD horrible dark circles. This eye cream has been a miracle to my under eyes, my dark circles are barely noticeable now that I've been using this. I have been using this for a year now and still have the same bottle and it still has quite a bit of product left in it. A little goes a long way. It does migrate a little so don't put it right by your eyes or it will burn. I apply it a pinky finger width underneath my lower lid. I will always use this!
Age: 30-35
Skin: Normal, Olive, Neutral
Hair: Black, Curly, Medium
Eyes: Brown
I wanted to love this product but sadly I don't see any difference with my eyes and actually am convinced it made my lids drier! I use it now out of habit and because I paid so much for it but I don't recommend it. Save your money. I am still looking for better eye products.

The chronology of Paul
For the chronology of Paul's ministry, there are also some extra-biblical data: According to Josephus, Herod Agrippa I was made ruler of all Palestine by the emperor Claudius in ad 41 and reigned for three years. His death was thus in ad 44. A famine in Claudius' reign took place when Tiberius Alexander was procurator of Judaea (c. 46–48), and Egyptian papyri suggest (by reference to high wheat prices) that the date of the famine was about 46. The Gallio inscription at Delphi (in Greece) gives a date for Gallio, proconsul of Achaia when Paul was at Corinth. It notes that Claudius was acclaimed emperor for the 26th time. This would bring the date of being declared emperor to about 52 and Gallio's term of office (about one year) to about 51–52.
The chronology of Paul's missionary journeys and the dates of his letters have been the object of an investigation made difficult by the fact that the account in Acts does not agree with Paul's own letters, which are, of course, more reliable.
With the help of external references, some degree of absolute chronology might be sought—with several years' margin both because of uncertainty as to extra-biblical dating and much ambiguity about internal evidence. Although Paul would be in a better position to know his own situation, often his letters are, in their present form, combined fragments from various times (see below The Second Letter of Paul to the Corinthians and The Letter of Paul to the Philippians). A chronology can be reached by comparing Paul's accounts of his journeys and sojourns with those reported in Acts. Given references in Acts and the Gallio inscription, it is possible to place Paul in Corinth in ad 51, and, since he was there for 18 months, it can be assumed that he began his missionary work sometime in 49 (he had previously been in Thessalonica and Philippi and in Troas and Asia Minor). This probably fits in with the "expulsion" of Jews from Rome about ad 49, thus indicating that Paul met Priscilla and Aquila, two Roman Jewish Christians, in Corinth at this time. This indicates that he was at an "apostolic conference" at Jerusalem sometime shortly before this (a comparison of chapters 13 and 15 of Acts with chapters 1 and 2 of Galatians shows that the author of Acts made two visits out of the one recorded by Paul), which was either in 49 or 48.
Though the dates in Galatians 1 and 2 are uncertain—not indicating whether they refer to 17 years in toto or only 14 years, because half years were equated with whole ones—they do establish the call of Paul to become a Christian in 31 or about 34–35. Working in the other direction, it is known that Paul wrote to the Thessalonians from Corinth, thus indicating a date of about 50 as probable for the writing of I Thessalonians.
From Corinth, Paul went to Ephesus, where, according to Acts, he remained (probably in prison) for three years. This would place him in Ephesus during the period 52–55, thus allowing time for a journey from Corinth via Ephesus to Antioch and then back to Ephesus. A sequence given in Acts, chapters 16 and 18, shows two possibilities for Paul to have been in Galatia that work in agreement with Galatians, chapter 4, verse 13, demonstrating that Galatians was written from Ephesus about 53–54. Ephesus can also be the location from which came I Cor., Phil., and probably Philem.
II Corinthians appears to have been written from Macedonia during 55. From the dating of the periods of Felix and Festus in office at Caesarea (mid-50s) and from the events in Felix' time of office, it is probable that Paul was in prison under Felix by 56.
Thus, data of Acts 18 and 20 regarding the journey and sojourn at Corinth can be correlated with data in Romans 15 to place the epistle to the Romans in about the year 56, before the journey back to Jerusalem, ending in the arrest of Paul in 56. The two years of Acts 24:27 can then be explained as the time during which Paul was in prison at Caesarea, so that in 58 Paul was before Festus and was sent to Rome.
That Paul was then in Rome for two more years is established in Acts chapter 28, verse 30. It can be concluded that Paul died sometime after 60, possibly during or before the Neronian persecution of 64 (cf. I Clem. 5). All this does not resolve the question of a possible Spanish journey nor give precise dates and locations for II Thessalonians, Colossians, Ephesians, or the Pastoral Letters (see also Paul).
New Testament literature
Introduction to the Gospels
Meaning of the term gospel
From the late ad 40s and until his martyrdom in the 60s, Paul wrote letters to the churches that he founded or guided. These are the earliest Christian writings that the church has, and in them he refers to "the gospel" (euangelion). In Romans, chapter 1, verse 1, he says: "Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, set apart for the gospel of God . . ." and goes on to describe this "gospel" in what was already by that time traditional language, such as: "promised beforehand through his prophets in the holy scriptures, the gospel concerning his Son, who was descended . . . our Lord" (Rom. 1:1–4). This gospel is the power of God for salvation to everyone who has faith ". . . for in it the righteousness of God is revealed through faith for faith . . ." (1:17). In I Corinthians Paul had reminded his congregation in stylized terms of "the gospel" he had brought to them. It consisted of the announcement that Jesus had died and risen according to the Scriptures.
Thus, the "gospel" was an authoritative proclamation (as announced by a herald, kēryx), or the kerygma (that which is proclaimed, kērygma). The earthly life of Jesus is hardly noted or missed, because something more glorious—the ascended Lord who sent the Spirit upon the church—is what matters.
In the speeches of Peter in Acts, the transition from kerygma to creed or vice versa is almost interchangeable. In Acts 2 Jesus is viewed as resurrected and exalted at the right hand of God and made both Lord and Christ. In Acts 3 Peter's speech proclaims Jesus as the Christ having been received in heaven to be sent at the end of time as judge for the vindication and salvation of those who believe in him. Here the proclaimed message, the gospel, is more basic than an overview of Jesus' earthly life, which in Acts is referred to only briefly as "his acting with power, going about doing good, and healing and exorcising" (10:38ff.). Such an extended kergyma can be seen as a transition from the original meaning of gospel as the "message" to gospel meaning an account of the life of Jesus.
The term gospel has connotations of the traditions of Jesus' earthly ministry and Passion that were remembered and then written in the accounts of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. They are written from the post-Resurrection perspective and they contain an extensive and common Passion narrative as they deal with the earthly ministry of Jesus from hindsight. And so the use of the term gospel for Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John has taken the place of the original creedal–kerygmatic use in early Christianity. It is also to be noted that, in the Evangelists' accounts, their theological presuppositions and the situations of their addressees molded the formation of the four canonical Gospels written after the Pauline Letters. The primary affirmations—of Jesus as the Christ, his message of the Kingdom, and his Resurrection—preceded the Evangelists' accounts. Some of these affirmations were extrapolated backward (much as the Exodus event central in the Old Testament was extrapolated backward and was the theological presupposition for the patriarchal narratives in Genesis). These stories were shaped by the purpose for their telling: religious propaganda or preaching to inspire belief. The kerygmatic, or creedal, beginning was expanded with material about the life and teaching of Jesus, which a reverence for and a preoccupation with the holy figure of Jesus demanded out of loving curiosity about his earthly ministry and life.
The English word gospel is derived from the Anglo-Saxon godspell ("good story"). The classical Greek word euangelion means "a reward for bringing of good news" or the "good news" itself. In the emperor cult particularly, in which the Roman emperor was venerated as the spirit and protector of the empire, the term took on a religious meaning: the announcement of the appearance or accession to the throne of the ruler. In contemporary Greek it denoted a weighty, authoritative, royal, and official message.
In the New Testament, no stress can be placed on the etymological (root) meaning of eu ("good"); in Luke, chapter 3, verse 18 (as in other places), the word means simply authoritative news concerning impending judgment.

About Pheroline
By Mark Alexander, Proven Pheromones Editor
If you want to be more attractive to the ladies, you may be interested in a pheromone product. While it is proven that human pheromones definitely have something to do with attraction between the sexes, chemical reproduction of these pheromones does not always provide the desired results. One of the products you may have seen on the market is known as Pheroline. However, will you really get results from this product? Let's take a closer look at this product and you can make up your own mind.
Created by GTN Labs, Pheroline is a cologne that uses synthetic human pheromones in it. It is designed to help men attract women with the use of these pheromones. GTN Labs is a good company that is well known for pharmaceuticals and nutritional supplements, but does their pheromone product measure up? The product does use several different synthetic pheromones and the company claims that it will make men more attractive to women. It is to be worn on pulse points, so that the sweat there can help the pheromones to diffuse, making it work more quickly and effectively.
The duration that this product lasts is fairly standard, lasting from 2-6 hours, depending on the amount applied and the individual wearing the product. It is supposed to be more concentrated than other pheromone products, but Pheroline does not appear to last any longer than any other product on the market.
You will find that Pheroline is fairly easy to use. It comes in a spray bottle, which allows you to simply spray on the product. However, the problem with that is that you lose quite a bit of spray to the air and you aren't getting as much on your skin. You can spray it on the chest area, the ears, the jaws, neck, or wrists.
Although Pheroline does include pheromones, it is not very effective when being used. Some have found it to be more effective when combining it and mixing it with other pheromone colognes on the market.
- 30 day money back guarantee
- Affordable
- May not work for everyone
- No proof of pheromones
Final Verdict
To find out the real deal on this product, I decided to give it a try myself. I bought the product and used it exactly as directed with a couple sprays to my chest. Then I went to work. I deal with some pretty hot women at work and I though maybe this would work on them. Well, I ended up very disappointed. They treated me the same way they did every other day, which means they pretty much ignored me.
Maybe work wasn't the best place to try this out, so I decided to try it at a night club that night. I reapplied of course, using two sprays to the chest and one to the neck area. Maybe a bit more would give better results. I did dance with a few women at the club and they flirted a bit, but nothing more than I would usually expect.
I really saw no results in either a professional or social setting when using Pheroline. The smell wasn't very attractive, it did not help me attract more women, and I was totally disappointed with this product. It's one I wouldn't recommend and it was merely a waste of my money.

Manning, Alan (1992) Productivity growth, wage setting and the equilibrium rate of unemployment. CEP discussion paper, 63. Centre for Economic Performance, London School of Economics and Political Science, London, UK.
Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
This paper argues that one cannot tell a convincing story of the rise in OECD unemployment without mentioning the slowdown in productivity and real wage growth that occurred in the 1970s. It is argued that whereas most authors have regarded any effects of the slowdown on unemployment as temporary while "real wage resistance" is overcome, there is no theoretical reason to believe that this is the case. This point was illustrated using dynamic union bargaining model. This model also suggested that a Phillips Curve was appropriate as an empirical wage equation. For most OECD countries such a wage equation works well, and the slowdown in real wage growth does appear to have been important in explaining the rise in unemployment.

Title: | Memorandum, 1965 Oct., Joseph A. DeLaine, Sr., to Internal Revenue Service Information |
Date: | 1965 Oct. |
Description: | Memorandum sent in October 1965 from Joseph A. DeLaine, Sr., to the Internal Revenue Service. DeLaine details the history of his farm, called Manigault Place, and other property in Clarendon County, South Carolina, including why he transferred the name of ownership, vandalism to the property, and attempts by "racists" to take away the property, which he calls "the injustice of legal robbery." He asserts the property was paid for in 1944 and calls it an injustice "to take away what we worked for and saved looking out for old age."
