This is definitely a good basic, natural shade for paler skin tones. I like to keep this as a purse blush for touchups. The colour is very sheer so there's no danger of over applying this.

Very natural, beautiful shade. Love the slight glow it gives to my face too. I can't really use this when I have a tan as it is quite light of a color but I always try to build it up because it is so easy to blend and I never look like a clown when I use this blush. Deff my go to

I had been looking for a very natural looking blush for so long and this is it..
It builds very naturally on my pale skin (NW15 and NW22 with fake tan on) and just looks like I've a slight glow to my cheeks.
I would definitely recommend this!

I received this in a swap with no prior expectations for color or finish as I am not familiar with Mac colors.
In the pan it looks like a fairly light pink, cool-toned, but when applied it goes on as a perfect flush of color on my NC15 neutral-warm skin. I was worried that this would be too blue/mauve-toned for my skin but it really isn't anything like the color in the pan when applied. It does have some sparkle but this isn't really apparent unless you overapply.
I am really happy with how this looks and have been wearing no other blush color since receiving it. I find it very hard to apply too much of this color, and it lasts all day on me without any touch ups.
I never really considered Mac for blush before but now I am looking into a few more colors. Highly recommended for those with pale skin.

This is my favourite blush colour. It's so pretty and girly and makes my face look really fresh and innocent. I am an NC20 and it shows up as a pretty, pale pink blush on my cheeks, however if your skin is darker I would recommend using this as a highlighter rather than a full on blush as it may show up with more of a milky colour than what one would usually use as a blush. However, on me it shows up beautifully. I would describe this as a cherry blossom pink. It applies very nicely and lights up my face without being too overpowering. It would make any fair girl look classy, fresh-faced and put together. Absolutely love it.

In the pan it is a pretty, pastel, pale, pink (oops a lot of alliteration) with a blue undertone that seems like Saint Germain for your cheeks. I find it quite difficult to get this colour to show up on me, even though I'm very pale. I have to really build this colour to make it noticeable on my cheeks and even then it could be described as subtle at best. I can imagine darker skin tones may have difficulty noticing it.
The texture is soft, finely-milled but slightly powdery. When I try and build it I find it looks powdery to an extent. It fades throughout the day but has lasted between 3-6 hours.
If I lost it I doubt I'd replace it. I don't think I'll buy it again. I was disappointed as I thought it would be beautiful with dark smoky eyes and a natural lip.

Very delicate and I doubt it will be as visible on darker skin tones as it is on fair skin. It does give a subtle flush and looks very natural though. Definietly needs re-applicating throughout the day.

Perhaps this blush would work on fairer skin tones (I am NC35) but it is so sheer that I barely see any product when applying it to my face. It looks like a nice pink leaning towards a cool tone in the pan, but is simply too sheer to do much good. After a lot of layering and fussing, I'd rather just use a different blush! Staying power is minimal and I will not be repurchasing.

A small desk with a laptop, books, and a chair sits in Heather Rude-Turner's living room in northern Virginia.
Her two young children and even her two dogs know not to touch anything on that desk, no matter how rowdy they get around the house. "That's mommy's desk," says Heather's 5-year-old daughter, Naomi.
Why the caution? Because Rude-Turner, 31, has spent the last few years working toward her bachelor's degree. She graduated in December 2011 with a degree in child psychology, a cause for celebration for her entire family. They know the road to graduation has been longer and more difficult than most.Read more
In 2007, Rude-Turner was living a comfortable middle-class life with her husband and two children. But her husband started drinking heavily and became extremely abusive. Rude-Turner knew this was a dangerous situation for her and her children, and so they left in January 2008. She lived with family for a few months, but eventually moved with her kids into a shelter for abused women in March 2008.
"I had those times when I was sitting on the kitchen floor just crying for an hour after I put the kids to bed because I didn't know what else to do," Rude-Turner recalls. "My whole world had been shattered. I spent a lot of time trying to reconnect with [God] and figure out what his plans for us were."
She found a job driving a school bus and did everything she could to be resourceful for her and her children. By September 2008, Rude-Turner had saved enough money to move her kids into a small apartment in northern Virginia. But even then, she felt she was living on the edge of poverty. She often didn't have enough food to feed herself and her children, so she would go hungry.
"Even though I was working, we still didn't have enough," Rude-Turner, a former marine, says.
But when she filed her tax return in 2009, her pastor at Ravenswood Baptist Church in Annandale, VA, told her about an important resource for working people struggling with poverty: the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC). This is a refundable tax credit for low-income workers that offsets the burden of U.S. payroll taxes. Only working families can claim the EITC, which is designed to encourage people to work. Rude-Turner immediately filed her tax return and received the tax credit.
"I got about $4,000 or $5,000 each year, and that was enough money to help me purchase my laptop for school, save money, and take care of our vehicle," she says. "Without the benefits, it would have been a lot more difficult for us to get on our feet."
Today, Rude-Turner lives in a house in a safe neighborhood, works full-time as a teacher at a childcare center in Annandale, VA, and is engaged to be married. She hopes that her hard-earned degree will help her get a promotion at her current job—and perhaps lead to a new career teaching at a public school. Naomi and Isaac, 3, are flourishing in their new home and new family.
Rude-Turner knows it would have been difficult to reach her goals without the help of family, friends, her church, and programs aimed at helping poor and hungry people overcome difficult circumstances. She knows what people in similar situations are going through.
"All you hear about in the news is the people who have stayed on public assistance or are leeching off the system, but it's not about that. You need to have hope and understanding and compassion and know that people are using the programs the way they should be used," she says. "These programs are helping families like ours."
Jeannie Choi is associate editor at Bread for the World.
Tara Marks sits on the edge of her chair, arms folded on top of the table. She looks her senator's aide straight in the eye and—nicely, but firmly—asks him to urge the senator to consider the needs of low-income people and families in the United States and around the world.
"The business community has a circle of protection around it," she tells the aide. "We need a circle of protection around poor and hungry people."
It's a request she's been making for years, especially in her work as co-director for policy and communications at Just Harvest, a small Pittsburgh nonprofit that works for economic justice through direct service, education, and advocacy. But it's also a request that comes from the truest kind of education—experience.Read more
Marks and her son, Nathan, hit a rough patch about 10 years ago when their lives changed suddenly. "I went from being a stay-at-home mom to a single mom living on cash assistance, public housing, and credit cards," she said. "It all happened so fast."
Marks pieced together assistance from various sources, but it wasn't enough. Months of stress culminated in a terrible weekend, when she picked up Nathan after school on a Friday and realized she only had enough food to feed him through the weekend—if she didn't eat anything.
Come Monday morning, Marks—lightheaded and unable to focus—drove Nathan to daycare and realized she needed to get help. "I swallowed my pride and pulled what dignity I had left, and told a neighbor what I had gone through," she said. "She told me about a food pantry nearby, and I put food on the table that way."
Those groceries filled a critical gap, but Marks and her son needed more sustainable help—assistance that would help her finish college so she could secure a better job and provide a living for her family.
Staff members at Just Harvest—now her current employer—helped her navigate the application process for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, formerly food stamps). That assistance—combined with other sources, such as WIC—helped Marks and her son get on their feet and into a life of economic sustainability.
That experience has since fueled her advocacy for others who are struggling. Marks is a regular and persistent visitor to her senators' and representatives' offices—in Pittsburgh and in Washington, DC.
"I met a lot of amazing women in the apartment complex Nathan and I lived in. I think of these women every time I advocate," she said. "Being poor is a full-time job—you don't have time to advocate."
"I advocate for these programs because I know they work," she continued. "I used to be a statistic. I'm now another statistic, but a different kind—of success."
Marks knows the power of connecting with her members of Congress—particularly through letters. During a recent visit to Capitol Hill, she ran into a member of Congress she knew.
"He put his hands up and said, 'I got the letters. I got them all!'" she said. "So, wow, it really works. It really does work."
The kitchen of El Milagro Lutheran Church is the nerve center of this busy Minneapolis congregation. A stream of people bustle in and out of the room—to chat, pour themselves a cup of coffee, or drop off food for the post-service lunch.
Pastor Judith VanOsdol stops by to stir a pot of chili, laughing as she points to her thick clothes and winter boots. The boiler has stopped working, so there's no heat in the building.
VanOsdol has pastored El Milagro ("The Miracle") since 2008. Her parishioners are composed primarily of immigrants from Latin America and the Spanish-speaking Caribbean, and, like many Latinos in southwest Minneapolis, most of them struggle. They are homeless or near-homeless, unemployed, or under-employed. Most of the children receive meals through school feeding programs.Read more
"More people than we can realize fall between the cracks and find themselves in situations where they are unable to feed their families," VanOsdol said. "A family came to me yesterday and said, 'We are sleeping on the floor. Is there anywhere we might be able to get beds?' I have a person who lives on potatoes because potatoes are dirt cheap.
"I believe our call is to walk with them, work with them, and look at the underlying reasons why people are hungry—why people are many times forced out of their homes and land, and why they can't feed their families," she continued.
VanOsdol has seen firsthand the places many of her parishioners come from. Prior to 2008, VanOsdol worked in Argentina for the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America for 15 years, traveling throughout Latin America.
"Poverty is part of a global system. I learned a lot about global economics and the processes that push people out of their homes and livelihoods," she said.
Soon the fellowship hall next to the kitchen fills with people. The women who led singing during the worship service set out chili, bread, milk, and water. A sprinkling of desserts attracts a swarm of young children, and sounds of English and Spanish conversation fill the air.
"People need to know these programs for people at risk are critical to the well-being of the whole society," she said. "If we ignore the segments of society that are really, really on the edge, we're mortgaging our own future. The circle of protection has everything to do with not just what's happening today, but what kind of future we're building for tomorrow."
Having lived in a country that experienced a brutal dictatorship, VanOsdol sees the importance of active and engaged citizens, people who follow the work of their members of Congress and take part in decision-making processes.
"Our faith calls us to a place of seeking justice and recognizing that God is a God of all. And there is a place in God's heart for those who are on the margins," she said. "It's easy to say we believe in justice. Do we do it? Do we practice it? Is it part of our day-to-day livelihood? The decisions we make and the decisions of those we elect are also within our purview as faithful Christians."
Tell Congress to protect programs critical for hungry people, especially our children.

You may think I'm gross, but I'm not brushing LO's teeth yet. I just figured about 18 months-2 yrs I would start. Am I alone?? The other moms I know aren't doing it either, so IRL I feel like I'm not too weird but on here I'm feeling like a weirdo! :)
Anyone NOT brushing teeth?

I've been really bad about consistently brushing Lo's teeth...he fights it. Today I took him to dentist and I'm hoping we are turning over a new leaf and will be brushing his teeth twice a day :) she told me to basically hold him down or wrap him up in a towel

2x a day every day- He fights me like crazy, but I wouldn't be a very good dental hygienist if I didn't practice what I preach!!!

Ryder fights me everytime! So usually I just get the toothbrush wet and let him chew on it. It's better than nothing.

I probably dont do the greatest job but we brush every night and sometimes in the morning. He has his front eight teeth so I can at least get those. Once he gets molars and food starts sticking in them I will spend more time brushing his teeth.
Posted 11/30/2012
We brush every day. When I taught preschool I saw many 2 yr olds with no front teeth because they rotted out. That was enough to scare me.
You might want to rethink waiting. I would start immediately.

My little dude chews on his toothbrush while he watches me or DH brush. Sometimes I get a few swipes in there, but he's pretty independent and wants to sit it himself, which ends up being chew or suck on a wet toothbrush. I don't think it's a total loss though. He still gets used to holding his toothbrush, and understand we do it twice a day. There's plenty of time to work on it.

The bus was transporting prisoners from a military base in the town of Taji to Baghdad when it was hit by roadside bombs. Gunmen then opened fire.
Much of Iraq's recent bloodshed is linked to sectarian divisions that have deepened since Sunni militants formerly known as the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) seized large swathes of northern Iraq last month and declared an Islamic empire.
Sunni militants have been carrying out attacks around the southern edge of Baghdad while in response, Shi'ite militias have been active in rural districts of Baghdad, abducting Sunnis they suspect of militancy. Many later turn up dead.
The tit-for-tat attacks have escalated dramatically since the Sunni militant advance towards Baghdad, the most serious challenge to the Shi'ite-led government of Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki since the withdrawal of US forces in 2011.
Iraq's parliament yesterday elected senior Kurdish politician Fouad Masoum as president, the second step in the process of forming a government.
Politicians have been in deadlock over forming a new government since an election in April.

Will we just point the ship towards any star and commit these resources to a random journey and outcome, or will we know a LOT about where we are going before the fuel is loaded? Most of us will agree that the latter case for such an expensive "one off" mission is more likely.
Except for a few notable exceptions, nearly all stars appear as mere points of light because their distance simply precludes our current capabilities from seeing otherwise. Let's look at a cool analogy to understand the issue and how it relates to planets.
Looking at our own Solar System helps us understand how the placement of an Exoplanet within the habitable zone of its star will drastically affect its climate.
About 450 light-years from Earth, in the constellation Taurus, a dense, dark, interstellar cloud has slowly started to reveal its secrets. The addition of new high-resolution data like that for the star HL Tau is at long last allowing astronomers to see the hidden details of planet and disk formation and, from this, create the next-generation physics-based models for how planets form.
If the type of telescope described here can be built, then the tyranny of distance is vanquished. You can forget deep space probes and their long travel times. We could explore alien worlds in the comfort of our own homes, as our laptops scroll and zoom through data sets collected by a mammoth, space-based telescope array.
Let's take a look at one of the most intriguing of the 1,739 confirmed exoplanets that is both Earth-sized and in the habitable zone of its star. Known only by its catalog number, Kepler-186f, it has no name yet, but we know quite a bit about it already.
The Green News Report is also available via... ...
A team of astronomers, after carefully combing data from NASA's Kepler space telescope, has finally nailed a world that might be similar to our own. But is it inhabited? Finding the answer is not easy.
The Green News Report is also available via... ...
At the same time that astronomers stole back Pluto, they delivered a bounty of new worlds to ponder. Thanks to arduous ground-based studies of nearby stars, and to the dazzling successes of NASA's Kepler mission, we now have a catalog of over 1,700 "new" planets orbiting hundreds of other stars.
You may wonder what another civilization might regard as relatively reliable biosignatures of Earth, were this civilization to observe Earth from a distance of tens of light-years.
Science writer Lee Billings accomplishes a lot in the pages of Five Billion Years of Solitude: The Search for Life Among the Stars (published in the U...
The discovery (if and when it happens) of extraterrestrial complex life will undoubtedly usher in a revolution that will rival the Copernican and Darwinian revolutions combined.
Check out the Milky Way next time you're outside the glare of city lights, and ruminate on the thought that at least 33 billion habitable planets are somewhere up there. But that's just the local population.
The holy grail of astrobiology, currently, lies in identifying Earth-sized worlds within the habitable zone of their star and with the possibility of an atmosphere that might support life.
Could it be that our planet isn't typical at all? If so, then maybe life isn't typical either. On the other hand, if there are plenty of planets similar to Earth, we can reasonably hope for lots of cosmic company.

Care in handling
Protection you can see through
Your print is protected in its own CrystalView archival cellophane sleeve which keeps it dust-free and smudge free and ensures that you'll get the product as near to perfect as humanly possible. You may opt to keep your print within its sleeve, and why not? It will continue to keep your print safe and is glare-free to boot. If you can't decide, don't worry. The cellophane sleeve is resealable.
For archival storage, the print is mounted with archival-quality, removable microdots on an acid-free backing. Gently lifting the print to separate the two will allow the print to be mounted and framed. If you do frame the piece, we recommend using UV glass to protect the image from sunlight, which can discolor the print.
Safe in shipping
The non-descript brown envelope is certainly misleading. Aside from the Curio & Co. stamp on the front, it barely hints at the fantastic artwork contained inside. Still, it has to be plain because it's got to be sturdy. The only way we can sleep at night is by knowing that your print won't get knocked around or snagged on anything. And that brown envelope – in comforting, durable cardboard – puts our minds at rest. Plus, it's acid-free and fully recyclable. So you can put your environmental worries aside and get a good night's sleep too.
Tagged from us to you
That tag you find is another sign that you've got a genuine Curio & Co. item in your hands. You can snip off the tag if you like – which will feel great, knowing that the print is all yours now! – or you can slip the tag through the knot to get to the envelope's pull tab. The envelope flap's seal will keep the tag on the envelope so you can keep a record of what's inside.
Giving the item as a gift? What a terrific friend you are! In that case, you can write the name of your sure-to-be grateful friend on the reverse of the tag, and your wrapping is done! We won't ever slip the bill or any other pesky sign of your item's purchase history in the envelope, so feel free to keep your secret of what a great deal you got.

Pinterest: taking your childhood collections online
Reinventing the simple scrapbook
We're pleased as punch to find that we've reached 2000 followers on Pinterest. Pinning collections and boards on Pinterest is a lot of fun, and when you find people to share it with who enjoy it as much as you, it just makes the fun a little sweeter, you know?
And Pinterest is a lot of fun. From the discovery of new artists or missed classics, to reconnecting with childhood favorites, Pinterest never fails to give us an "Oh, yeah" moment with each pin. Plus, while some of us in the office are very organized and others are… very, very disorganized, rearranging pins and creating new boards is the aspect we all love. Is Play-Doh a toy, an art supply or… a food? Having this kind of dialog and playing these kinds of games with the pins always puts a smile on our faces.
Best of all, Pinterest, for all its cutting edge technology and social media wizardry, really takes us back to the old-fashioned scrapbook collections that we all had as kids. Jay had a binder where he kept trading cards of all the World Cup players along with his own hand-written stats from his youth soccer league games. Shirley had strips of Frank and His Friend comics that she cut from newspapers to create her own comic books. I had an epic sticker book, with stickers divided up by type (puffy, smelly, iridescent) and subject matter (Spaceman Jax, of course, and so many Smurfs). What kind of scrapbooks did you keep as a kid?
For Pinterest co-founder Ben Silbermann, it was a bug collection. He dried and pinned and labeled all kinds of creepy crawlies, and it was that fascination with bug collections that helped inspire the creation of Pinterest. "I'd always thought that the things you collect say so much about who you are," said Silbermann in a speech from 2012. We couldn't agree more.
As an online scrapbook, Pinterest allows us to reinvent collecting, and lets us collect things that just wouldn't have been possible before the Internet. You're no longer limited to wall space or scrapbook size, but now you can also collect intangible or abstract ideas and collect things that no longer exist or might not have ever existed in the first place.
If you're not a Pinterest user, you should give it a try, because it's a huge help and source of inspiration to collectors of all sorts. And if you are on Pinterest, let us know and show us your collection of treasures.
So thank you to all of our followers on Pinterest. We know how much time and energy it takes to cultivate your interests and find something you want to follow. (Boy, do we know.) That you decide to spend that time with us means a lot to us here at Curio & Co., and we really appreciate it.

Change of heart over Southend's Wembley final
Paul Sturrock has had a change of heart and turned down the chance to manage Southend United in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy final at Wembley.
Chairman Ron Martin announced on Sunday that Sturrock had been sacked as boss of the Shrimpers but that, bizarrely, he would return to take charge for the final against Crewe on Sunday 7 April.
Phil Brown holds first training session with Southend players
A meeting with Southend United chairman Ron Martin at Manchester Airport swayed Phil Brown to become the club's new manager.
Brown was preparing to travel for a coaching assignment in the South African townships, but chose to get back on the football manager treadmill. Watch Donovan Blake's report.
Phil Brown interview: New Southend boss talks to ITV News Anglia
Phil Brown 'turned down' Southend job three years ago
Southend United's new manager Phil Brown revealed that he was asked about taking the job earlier in his managerial career.
Brown, who was unveiled at a new conference at Roots Hall, said that the opportunity first came after losing his job at Hull City.
"I spoke to the chairman Ron Martin three years ago when I was on gardening leave at Hull," Brown said.
"I looked at the challenge then but wasn't sure about moving from the Premier League to a lower division.
"But his ambitions for this club were clear for me then as they are now."
Brown also confirmed that he'd spoken to former boss Paul Sturrock about the Johnstone's Paints Trophy Final at Wembley.
"Strange things do happen in football. It's a subject that was broached to me when I spoke about the position," Brown added.

In Photoshop Elements 9 Essential Training, Jan Kabili highlights the key features of this comprehensive image organization and photo enhancement application. She shows how to correct and enhance photographs, and how to organize a growing collection of digital photos. The course also explains how to use photos in creative projects like photo books, calendars, and greeting cards, and how to share work online and in print. Exercise files accompany the course.
Is your collection of digital photos and videos grows, you most slightly run out of room to store them all on your computer, instead you may have to keep the original files off-line on external drives or disks. The good news is that Elements Organizer can keep track of your files even if they're located off-line. To show you that I've to gone ahead and attached an external drive to my computer, this could be a hard drive or flash or thumb drive or a DVD or a CD. I'm going to go up to the File menu, and I'm going to choose Get Photos and Videos, From Files and Folders.
In this dialog box I'll navigate to my external hard drive. Mine is called Removable Disk yours may be called something else, and if you're on a Mac you may have to double-click the icon for your hard drive in order to find your external drive. I'll select the external drive, and here I can see six photos on that drive. I'd like to leave the original photos on the external drive, but import information about them and links to them into the organizer catalog. So first I'll select all the photos clicking on the first and holding the shift key as I click on the last, and that selects all in between.
I'll come down to the options where I'm going to uncheck Copy Files on Import, because in this case, I want to keep the original photos on the external drive to save space on my computer, I don't want to copy them onto my computer, but I might keep Copy Files on Import checked, if I were doing something like copying a friend's files off a DVD that I had to return. I will leave Generate Previews checked so that the organizer will display a small thumbnail sized preview of each photo, even when the external drive with a high-resolution photos is off-line, and by the way, when I say off-line I mean not connected to my computer.
Now I'll click to Get Media button. Here in the organizer I'll close the alert about which files I can see, these are the thumbnail sized low resolution previews. The original files are still on the external drive where I want to keep them to save space on my computer. Now that I have the previews and links to information about the photos in my organizer, I'm going to eject my external drive. Now that I disconnected the external drive with the original photos, each of the preview thumbnails has a red icon indicating that the original file is on a drive or a disk that's off-line.
But I can still perform management tasks on this low resolution previews. For example, I could rate the photos with stars by clicking the stars underneath each photo, or I could add keyword tags or include the photos in albums, I'll also show you how to do in later movies. I could even share these low resolution previews using Elements' e-mail features or I could include them in a PDF slideshow, but what if I want to edit one of these files. I'm going to select this file and try to open it in the Elements editor.
I'll Right-Click or Ctrl+Click on a Mac to bring up this context to a menu and I'll choose Edit with Photoshop Elements. I would expect that to open the Elements editor, but instead it opens the Find Offline Drives dialog box, because Elements knows that the originals of these files are located off-line. Here I can see the name of my external drive, and its status off-line, and up here I have an instruction to attach the listed drive to continue. So I'll reconnect my external drive to my computer.
When I plug my external drive back into the computer, the photos on the drive were automatically reconnected to the organizer catalog and the Elements editor launched with the file ready for editing. Here in the Elements editor I could make some changes to the file and then save it back to the external drive or to my computer and Elements would know where it is I'm going to close the file in the editor by clicking the x on its tab, and back in the organizer you can see that each one of the previews no longer has the red icon that indicates that the original is off-line, and that's because I do have my external drive connected, and so all the photos are reconnected to the organizer.
This ability to keep track of your photos and videos even if they are off-line, makes the Elements organizer really valuable, particularly today when many of us are accumulating more files than we can store on our computers, and as off-line storage becomes cheaper. And Mac users, you want to know that this is one of the points that distinguishes the organizer from Adobe Bridge, which doesn't have this capability.

Melbourne Cup Prize Money
Melbourne Cup Prize MoneyWith assistance from the Emirates Airlines (major sponsor), Crown Entertainment, AAMI Insurance, James Boag, the Myer store group (major partners) and others the Victoria Racing Club (VRC) offers a chance at winning prize money totaling $6million AUD plus $175,000 in trophies.
Thereby maintaining the Melbourne Cup's status as the world's richest handicap race, and the single richest held on turf.
To help appreciate the economics of winning the Melbourne Cup only two races in the world currently offer more prize money, the synthetic track Dubai World Cup ($10,000,000 US), and the Japan Cup ($6,700,000 US) which is held on grass.
2015 Prize Money
|First Prize:
By comparison, the $900,000 awarded to the Melbourne Cup second-place finisher is larger than the combined purse of all but eighteen Australian Group 1 races:
|Golden Slipper:
|$3.5 million
|Cox Plate:
|$3 million
|Caulfield Cup:
|$2.5 million
|BMW Stakes:
|$2.25 million
|Doncaster Handicap:

Melbourne Cup TrophyThe value of the trophies are as follows:
The winning owner receives a trophy worth $150,000, the trainer and jockey $10,000 each, and the strapper $5,000.
The Melbourne Cup trophy nicknamed the ' Loving Cup' because of it's hand-made design, is awarded the winning horse's owner and contains 18-carat gold.
A new trophy is crafted each year, and a second identical trophy is also present should the race ever end in a dead-heat, with last year's photo finish between Dunaden and Red Cadeaux a reminder.
The winner's trainer and jockey are each awarded a miniature version of the trophy, and the strapper receives the Tommy Woodcock, which is named on behalf of Phar Lap's attendant.
Australia Racing verse the WorldWhen comparing total racing prize-money, Australia is surpassed only by the United States and Japan. Which is quite remarkable when considering the population and Gross Domestic Product of these much larger countries.
Given these facts it's clear why the Melbourne Cup, as well as other rich Australian Group One events, has become an increasingly attractive destination for the international racing community. This year the main horses in the market are were internationally born.

Interestingly, SF3B1 mutations always occurred at the same site of the gene. And the SF3B1 and BAP1 mutations were found to be almost mutually exclusive, meaning that if patients had a mutation in one of the genes, they were unlikely to have a mutation in the other.
"This suggests mutations in these genes may represent alternative pathways in tumor progression," Bowcock says.
The SF3B1 gene also has been reported recently by other researchers to be mutated in a pre-leukemia illness called myelodysplastic syndrome. For these patients, SF3B1 mutations mean the condition is less likely to develop into a full-blown leukemia. Changes in the SF3B1 gene also have been found in chronic lymphocytic leukemia and less frequently in breast cancer and other solid tumors. The gene's link to prognosis is unclear for these cancers.
Normally, the SF3B1 gene is involved in converting DNA's chemical cousin, RNA, into messenger RNA. This messenger molecule carries DNA's code and serves as a template for making proteins. The researchers don't yet understand how mutations in this gene are involved in cancer but it's the next step of their research.
"We want to understand the functional consequences of mutations in SF3B1," Bowcock says. "How are changes in this gene linked to cancer development? This is the fourth gene known to be mutated in uveal melanoma along with BAP1 and the genes GNAQ and GNA11. A complete understanding of the molecular basis of this tumor will be invaluable in predicting prognosis and in the identification and development of novel treatments for this cancer."

Having responded to no less than five of the six e-mails that I received on August 5th alone from the reporter for the Oklahoma office Associated Press, I was suprised to read misleading statements in the coverage of the New Baptist Covenant meeting that could have easily been corrected by a simple inquiry by e-mail.
Here is a copy of an e-mail that I recently sent to Oklahoma AP Reporter Murray Evans:
Dear Murray,
I am disappointed to find that your coverage of the New Baptist Covenant meeting as recorded in the Georgia Ledger Inquirer leaves the impression that Anthony Jordan, Executive Secretary of the Baptist General Convention of Oklahoma was slighted by the steering committee of the New Baptist Covenant.
Actually, he was honored with an invitation that was not extended to the leader of any other Baptist convention in our region.
Former President Carter held a private luncheon with the members and spouses of the steering committee that organized the Midwest Regional Meeting of the New Baptist Covenant. As a courtesy, we extended an invitation to Anthony Jordan that was not extended to anyone else who was not a member of our steering committee. When Dr. Jordan responded that he and his spouse would not be able to attend, we went a second mile and extended an invitation to a member of his staff and spouse. There was no response to that invitation.
Invitations to attend our meeting were extended to all the public by news stories and paid advertisements in several local newspapers including the Oklahoman.
Knowing how careful you were to abide by all the security precautions that would be necessary for former President Carter's visit, I trust that you will be equally as careful to correct any misperceptions that might arise from your report.
Dr. Bruce Prescott
Chair, Steering Committee for the Midwest Region Meeting of the New Baptist Covenant

1/2 ground beef 1/2 ground turkey
A lot of beans, I like using kidney, white and red beans to add color (or black..I usually use 3 kinds of beans)
2-3 Bell peppers, if different colors are on sale I like red, yellow or orange ones
4 or so Jalapenos, seeded (or I use fresnos, serranos, or poblanoes I love chilis )
1 big onion
Beef broth
Tomato sauce
Chili powder
Paprika (smoked)
But really, regardless of whether or not you have fresh chilies in your chili, I think that a nice fine powder is necessary to evenly disperse the flavor among all the elements of your chili. Also, as other people mentioned, salt really brings out all the flavors and makes the whole thing *pop*, IMO.
I've made "flat" tasting chili before too. In every case I either: didn't put enough chili powder, didn't put enough salt, or forgot to use tomato paste in addition to my diced tomatoes. Anyway, I hope you're able to figure out what it is your missing! It's so frustrating to make a meal and not have it turn out the way you're expecting.
I'm me. In love with this guy. We're bringing up two girls: Big A (8) and Little A (3)
The main component in every chili powder I've ever gotten is chiles. I don't get the spicy kind. Yes, it has the other spices listed also usually, but without the dried chiles, you're not going to have that smokey flavor. You can buy dried chiles, roast them and grind them yourself. You'll just have to experiment to find how much to add. I'd go for the big red/black dry ones myself (there are several varieties and they're called different things in different areas). Each one has it's own flavor.
As for the cayenne - my entire pot of chili only gets 1/4 tsp of cayenne (to 2 lbs of meat). Because otherwise all the sour cream/cheese in the fridge isn't going to mitigate the burn. Any flavor it adds is nominal.
I think you've hit the nail on the head, though, about finding your own dry chiles that are your favorite and making the chile powder yourself... then making chili powder yourself. To me, paprika is more for color than flavor unless you use smoked paprika. Now THAT is a good addition to chili (soup or powder).

I use an a**load of paprika as I tend not to make it hot because of the kiddo (we add heat later). The depth of the paprika seems to be good. If it's just for adults, then I would do chilli powder and paprika along with the other spices you mentioned. A tiny bit of cinnamon too.
sweet ancho chili pepper
cayenne red pepper
Mexican oregano
I have just recently made my first successful batch without using the chili powder. I grew tons of hot peppers this year and I smoked some. The fresh jalapenos and the chipotles along with garlic, salt, cumin, and oregano was enough for me. Of course, we enjoy spicy chili.
First- toast all of your spices in a dry pan on medium heat until they smell toasted. Set them aside and add them in layers, some with the veggies, some with meat, some in the big pot with everything.
Use some broth, I personally use beef glacé, but if you have food allergies you will need to make your own broth. If the chili is too thin, simmering it without a cover for a few hrs will do the job to cook it down.
Use some whole peppers, do not cut them up, just wash them and throw them in stem and all. we like pablano, Serrano, and jalapeño. Add them when you add the liquid and let them simmer for an hour. Then take them out. If you want you can squeeze their juices out and add it to the chili, it depends on how much heat you want. We use one whole pepper per lb of ground beef.
We also use a couple of bay leaves.
Charcoal grilled burger
Saute onions, pepperoni chunks, diced green peppers in a scant amount of oil.
I go pretty heavy onthe veggies.
TONS of garlic, salt, pepper, paprika, LOTS of cumin, parsely, oregeno, sage, chili powder or fresh chilis if I have them.
Plain tomato sauce, BBQ sauce, dash or 6 of worchester sauce, red kidney beans.
Think BBQ sauce is crucial for how we like ours.
I would also add any ONE of the following (just a splash should do):
Balsamic vinegar
Red wine
Chipotle (as a powder, or chop up a freshly-smoked pepper)
You might also just need more salt.
Good luck!
Men, especially, love my chili.
I bet adding some pureed roasted chilis to your recipe would give you the depth of flavor you're looking for.
Here's my recipe (handed down from my mom; now used by my dd):
1 pound ground beef (27-30% fat; I've tried lean ground beef and/or ground turkey but don't like the results)
1 onion, diced
1 can tomato juice
1 T garlic powder
1 T sugar
1 T paprika
1 T pepper
1 T chili powder
1 can kidney beans (the original recipe calls for chili beans but I like kidney beans better), drained and rinsed.
Brown ground beef and onion together. Skim off excess fat. Add Tomato juice and spices. Simmer up to 2 hours. Do not cover; it will decrease almost in half. Add beans. Simmer until beans are heated.
You can add the beans with the tomato juice and spices, if you want. I usually only add half the amount of spices. I don't like it too spicy. I use a cast iron dutch oven from start to finish. It also adds flavor. Serve with shredded sharp cheddar cheese, sour cream, corn bread, Fritos, etc. Tossed mixed greens salad on the side (I use ranch dressing; dh and Dylan have their salads without dressing).
Also if you are doing a crock pot, DH tells me the reason my stuff doesn't taste like his is that most vegetables should be added toward the end, otherwise all the flavor cooks out.
so like if you are going to leave it all day, don't put in peppers, onion, garlic, all that kind of stuff till you come home and then turn it up and leave it for 30 min. or so.
he tells me this is why my pot roast in the crock pot is not the way I think it should be, I have given up on that and done it in the oven...

|Maybe you need to see if your spices have gone stale due to age. Make sure everything you are using is fresh and your meat is a good meat/fat ratio (80/20 being the best IMO).
The other thing is .... how long are you cooking it and are you developing the flavors of the meat and veg?
Oh, man I want some chili now!

It's absolutely different from ancho and other chile powders. All chiles have different flavor profiles and vary wildly and widely in how they affect your chili.
Some are earthy, some mild, some sweet, some hot (some sharp, some warm), etc etc.
A good chili powder might blend several chile types.
Cayenne certainly does have a flavor, but it is not the bolder, rounder flavor that some of the other chiles like New Mexico and Anchos have.
When I make chili, I use 1 can of kidney beans and 1 can of chickpeas (19 oz. cans) to 1 lb. of ground beef. I know chickpeas are unconventional but I've done my best to replicate someone else's recipe that I love. Another thing I add that isn't in your list is celery, and I never put garlic in. I use canned diced tomatoes, not fresh. I'm not sure if my chili is very good, but I like it.
Maybe the depth of flavour that you feel is missing isn't because of the ingredients but it could be the simmer time? How long are you cooking it for? I like to make my chili and have it on low in the slow-cooker all day, or on the stovetop for at least an hour.
Lovin' my sweetheart, pregnant with #1 (EDD Feb.2013)
It just doesn't taste as-- well, TASTY-- as other people's, and I don't know why. Here's what's in it:
ground beef
hot peppers
sweet peppers
(sometimes sweet corn, black beans, or both)
cayenne powder
tomato paste
And it just tastes sort of THIN. Not the texture of it-- it's nice and thick. That's not it-- the taste is thin. Even if I add MORE of all the spices and seasonings, it still doesn't taste as full-bodied as I've had at other people's houses.
Is there some crucial ingredient I'm missing?
Would you be willing to share your chili recipe?
Me,DH,DS1'95, '98,DSD'03,DD1'07,DD2'09,DS2'12 Living with Fructose Malabsorption Syndrome and Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome Type 3-Hypermobility.)o( and sometimes I get toif I am lucky.
I think my simmer time is fine-- about two or three hours on the stove or in the oven. And my spices are new and fresh, so that's fine.
But here's what I've tried-- roasting the chiles before chopping them added a lot of flavor. Adding vinegar and/or wine really helped a lot. And DH found some smoked chipotle powder that is marvelous, and has no additives. We mostly dry our own peppers here-- I have a magnificent variety from my gardens and my CSA. But a little bit of the powdered packaged stuff seems to help.
also, some black pepper in the bowl after the chili had been dished up (adding black pepper to cooking food will turn it into a highly indigestible substance, i learned this through research for my dh's UC).
happy homesteading-homebirthing-homeschooling-student midwife-mama to a small handful of little ones and joyful wife to my artist man.
1. saute 1 whole onion (chopped of course!) in 1/4 cup butter or olive oil until tender, but not soft
2. add other veggies and beans (not tomatoes though) and allow to cook until tender, but not soft
3. salt veggies/bean until they taste good on their own (very important!)
4. add spices and ground beef and cook until ground beef is done (personally, i would cook beef in a separate pan, then add to veggie mix)
5. add tomatoes and broth (beef, chicken or veggie is fine)
6. simmer on low until chili is reduced to desired consistency, add extra salt if necessary
follow this technique, and i promise your chili won't taste "thin"! what i learned from "the art of simple food" is that you want to highly flavor the fat (oil or butter), so when it disperses through the soup, chili, stew etc., you have that deep, delicious flavor in every bite, even if the bite is only broth or sauce.
something i've learned about food, is that the technique and preparation have the greatest affect on the end product. it's not so much what you put in your dish, but how it's put in there that makes it something tasty or just so-so. that's my approach anyway!

Alabama 12 Mississippi Valley State 4
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – Junior outfielder Tyler Odle went 3-for-3 with a home run, two RBI and scored five runs in leading Alabama to a 12-4 win over Mississippi Valley State Tuesday night at Sewell-Thomas Stadium.
Odle is the first Alabama player to score five runs in a game since Casey Lambert scored five runs in the Crimson Tide's 26-7 win at Kentucky on March 18, 2001. Odle was hit by a pitch and scored in the first inning and slammed his first home run of the season in the third inning to give the Tide a 2-0 lead. He walked and scored in the fourth, singled and scored in the sixth and doubled and scored in the seventh inning. Continue reading Kentucky, Bama, UCF, and JMU pick up wins

Ryan O'Connell and Neil Berman, On the Job: Bill would benefit at-risk health care workers
The California Nurses Association and the vast number of health care workers in California are in support of Assembly Bill 2616 introduced by Assemblywoman Nancy Skinner earlier this year. If passed into law, AB 2616 would establish a rebuttable presumption in the workers' compensation system for acute care hospital employees, providing direct patient care, who contract a methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) skin infection. Existing law provides that an injury sustained by an employee, arising out of the course and scope of their employment, is compensable under the workers' compensation system. However, what constitutes an injury arising out of the course and scope of employment is often the source of litigation. —Monterey Herald, 05/23/14 More »

At Wednesday's meeting of Perry County commissioners, several residents living on or near Girl Scout Road, joined by Girl Scout representatives and those of Recovery Connection Inc. gathered in the courthouse to share concerns about a proposed recovery home for substance abusers.
According to Randy Paris, a substance-abuse counselor at Branchville Correctional Facility and president of Recovery Connection Inc., the house on Girl Scout Road would allow men who have had drug and alcohol problems to live in a drug- and alcohol-free environment.
It's not often that a story moves me to near tears. But the one I ran across Wednesday of last week - about a group of volunteer student pallbearers - came close. The Ohio group's work, I think, offers local young people a chance to do something similar in carrying out one of the corporal works of mercy: that of burying the dead.

I agree, here. I am one of the satisfied people who replied above, a satisfied customer who has returned many items, and paid postage on many of those items, along with some completely successful purchases. As is turns out, I am in the middle of a transaction with KEH. Earlier this week I ordered a Leica M2 from KEH, in EX condition. When I first tested out the camera, I felt it could be much smoother, so I called KEH, explained my concerns. After weighing the options, I exposed one test roll of film and sent out the camera for a CLA. I noticed on my test roll that some negative frames were touching.David said: 1) I personally would rather buy equipment which has been checked, even if it costs more
2) Given the fact that goods may need to be returned to KEH quite often, I feel it does not make economic sense for me in the UK to buy from this company.
Today I heard from my repair person that the camera is a rebuild, and that a shaft assembly will have to be replaced at a cost of an extra $200 on top of the CLA for the camera to operate smoothly and space frames evenly. He could tell this just by looking inside the camera and pushing on a part. I suspected something was wrong, but thought a CLA would fix it. I could continue to use it as is, but that is not why I bought a Leica, to use a camera that felt like it had grit in the winding mechanism. I don't know what will happen at this point.

Former Scotland defender Tom Boyd fears grabbing second place in Group 9 will still not be enough for George Burley's side to reach a play-off spot for the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa™.
The Scots, with only seven points from six games, have to beat FYR Macedonia and Netherlands in their final two home games on Saturday and Wednesday respectively, to have any chance of reaching South Africa. However, only the first eight of the nine section runners-up will be involved in the November play-offs, and if Scotland do get all six points they would have to wait until the last round of qualifiers in October to discover their fate.
Asked about the possibility of Scotland winning the forthcoming double-header but still not making a play-off spot, a rueful Boyd, who played 72 times for Scotland, said: "That kind of scenario would be a typical Scottish thing.
"It's close at the moment and if we win both games then we will get second place. But looking at the other groups, it could be that hard luck story so we just have to hope that we can get into the play-off place. You could say that we were so unlucky not to qualify in the last campaign.
"Looking at this group you could say that we should have finished second quite comfortably but it hasn't worked out like that. There have been hard luck stories within the games but we have to make sure that we do take our chances in these two games against Macedonia and Holland."
Fervent support
SFA chief executive Gordon Smith believes the Tartan Army will turn up at Hampden determined to cheer Burley's side to what would be two famous victories. "It's almost like a semi-final and the final," he said.
"Saturday is the semi-final and if we get the win then we are in the final and the final is a difficult one against Holland. If we can get to the play-offs, it will be outstanding. We were all disappointed with what happened in Norway, from George Burley and myself, to everyone connected to the association, to the fans, especially the ones who paid money to go to Norway.
"I can understand why they were disappointed. But the team has the opportunity to make everything right. The tickets have been selling and people want to see the team play which is fantastic. We are going to have two big supports for both games and we know the fans will get behind us; they will come along with positive intentions.
"It will change obviously if it doesn't go the way we want it to but they won't be coming to be critical. They will come to see their team get a good result. I've got the belief and hope that we can do it. We are capable of getting two victories."
Injury blow
Steven Caldwell was last night ruled out of the crucial double header. The Burnley captain has failed to shake off the groin injury he picked up in his country's 4-0 thrashing in Norway last month, which was his first cap for almost three-and-a-half years.
Defender Caldwell, 28, has not featured for his club since but Burley decided to retain him in his squad for the final two games of the Group 9 campaign.

Rated 2 out of 5Â by MGiovanna Pretty but flimsy I was a bit disappointed with this: it's a pretty top and a nice idea, but I found the fabric to be too thin. I do really think for the money it should be a better quality cotton. In the darker colours it might be a little better. In the white at least it was almost transparent, and it is not something you'd want to layer. It's going to wrinkle pretty easily, I think, I tried M and L (me: UK 14/16 FP 10/12 M/L 36/38C) and the L was a little too snug, especially around the armhole opening, and with such thin material I felt it could tear. It's a shame, it is pretty, but I would prefer it with a little more room around the armholes and in a higher quality cotton that could hold the structure of the piece a little better. 10.27.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by dramalover7m Unique Top I purchased this top in red. I love this top, but it runs a little small. If you are debating between sizes, go a size up! I am a 34C and it fit perfectly on me. The material is a bit thin, but since it is cotton it is very comfortable to wear. I love the design on the front. It is what makes the top so unique! 2.26.2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by phyl1217 Ultra feminine This top is beautiful and soft. I knew from reading a previous review that it ran a little small, so I ordered the large to accommodate for shrinkage. I gave it 5 stars it is a great bargain! 2.24.2014
Rated 4 out of 5Â by marla677 cute I bought this top in the color washed red. it is very cute and fit true to size.. I got this top on sale and I am just loving the fact that I did and I am anticipating a nice day in spring to wear this cute top. 2.14.2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by bredalmatoff Little House on the Prairie vibes I'm wearing this top in the white for the first time today! I'm wearing it over a little tunic. It is really cute and comfy. You can't beat the sale price that's for sure! Get it:) 1.29.2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by jenjin8 Beautiful This looks great on me and fits nicely. I love the front lace cutouts. My husband told me it looked amazing on me and he hardly notices anything. I have the dark green and I'm thinking of picking up the white. 11.24.2013

"We recognize brain stem cells specifically by their Tlx production. If we boost it, the tissue stem cell turns into a cancer stem cell from which malignant glioblastomas arise. Therefore, we are now able, for the first time, to hold brain stem cells directly responsible for the formation of brain tumor stem cells," Gnther Schtz explains.
The researchers expect to be able to develop new therapies to treat glioblastoma on the basis of these results from fundamental cell biology research. Tlx seems to play its fatal role not only in mouse brains. Studying tumor tissue from glioblastoma patients, Lichter and Reifenberger discovered that the Tlx gene is often present in multiple copies and, thus, more Tlx protein is produced. "Apparently, human brain tumor stem cells also depend on Tlx. Therefore, we can now try to develop therapies that are directed very specifically against Tlx producing cells," said Schtz describing the next steps. The mice whose brain stem cells overproduce Tlx are an ideal model system for such investigations.
