Lubricate, lubricate, lubricate….
One of the most common problems post menopausal women complain of is vaginal dryness and pain with sexual activity, which prevents them from having the pleasure they desire.
Female sexual lubricants are without a doubt among the greatest of sex toys. Lubricants can be used to solve such sexual problem as vaginal dryness and most painful intercourse they are much more than something to use only to avoid discomfort and irritation due to friction. The fact is personal lubricant will greatly intensify and enhance sensations for solo or partner sex and improve the way that sex feels, make sex safer by reducing the chances of condom breakage, eliminate pain associated with intercourse that comes from vaginal dryness and irritation, facilitate certain kinds of sex play, like using sex toys and exploring anal sex. They also increase sensual stimulation to the male, which can often help in cases of erectile dysfunction. When selecting the best lubricant to buy here are some key things to consider.
There are two major types of personal lubricants available, water based and silicone based and all the product ingredients have to be FDA approved. The main difference between water based and silicone based lubricants are significant.
The water based lubricants are more easily washed out and off of the body than silicone. Water based lubricants are considerably less expensive and more widely available than silicone and are available in flavored products and warming agents. More important than the above mentioned is the fact that water based lubricants are less damaging to condoms and silicone sex toys.
The silicone based lubricants contain no water so they don't evaporate or dry up as quickly thus they're not appt to require as frequent reapplication during prolonged sexual activity. Removing silicone lubricants from in and off of the body adequately requires soap and water rather than just sponging or wiping. Silicone lubricants are more expensive, but a little less may be required. The biggest disadvantage is that silicone can be damaging to condoms and especially to more expensive silicone covered sex toys. The major uses for personal lubricants are the enhancement for all kinds of sex play, vaginal or anal penetration by toys, fingers or penis, use or sex toys either on the surface or internally on all erogenous areas. They are and enhancement to masturbation or all forms of partner sex. Always lubricate, lubricate, lubricate at any age and during any form of sex!
Some people have used oils for lubricants, anything from baby oils, vegetable oils, olive oil, Crisco or lard and butter, body and massage oils, even soap. On the skin surface these are OK, but we recommend they never be used for penetration. Anything other than water based or silicone based lubricants can cause clogging of pores and irritations to more sensitive mucous membranes to the vagina and anus. They can lead to inflammation and infection to both. KY jelly and petroleum based lubricants like Vaseline may have the same affects. Any form of lubricant may have rare allergic affects to individuals and it is best to read the ingredients listing to any product that is used in or on the body. Flavoring and warming ingredients don't improve the function of lubricants; in fact lubricants with flavoring may dry up faster than others. If you have a concern about allergic reactions you should avoid both flavored and warming lubricants. They can be fun to add something different to your sex play. Some women swear by yogurt without fruit as a lubricant. It's inexpensive and though no studies have been carried out, probably harmless.
Vaginal dryness is probably the number one most common causes of painful sex play and intercourse often leading to a decreased interest in sex for women. Thankfully it's a problem that's usually easily resolved with adequate lubrication. There are also non-prescription estrogen creams, foams, and suppositories which are inserted in the vagina and usually work by providing added lubrication and estrogen replacement. These are usually over the counter at your pharmacy near the condoms and lubricants. However, if you're only complaint is vaginal dryness the least expensive and quickest solution is probably the use of a personal lubricant. Of course an added benefit of personal lubricants to deal with vaginal dryness is that you'll find lubrication increases sensitivity and makes penetration and foreplay more fun.
Keep in mind that many medications can interfere with vaginal lubrication. Of drugs that may cause a loss of vaginal lubrication including are oral contraceptives like Lo/Ovral, Ortho-Cyclen, Depo Provera and prescriptions like Halcion, Xanax, Ativan, Calcium channel blockers, Beta-blockers as well as prescribed and over-the-counter cold and allergy medications. Check with your physician or pharmacist regarding any meds or supplements you may be taking.
Finally let us mention that a free and excellent lubricant is saliva!

BACKGROUND: IL-18 is a pleiotrophic cytokine involved in both, T-helper type 1 (Th1) and Th2 differentiation. Recently genetic variants in the IL-18 gene have been associated with increased risk of atopy and asthma. OBJECTIVE: To examine the relationship of a genetic, haplotype-tagging promotor variant -137G/C in the IL-18 gene with atopic asthma in a large, well-characterized and population-based study of adults. METHODS: Prospective cohort study design was used to collect interview and biological measurement data at two examination time-points 11 years apart. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to assess the association of genotype with asthma and atopy. RESULTS: The G-allele of the IL-18 promotor variant (-137G/C) was associated with a markedly increased risk for the prevalence of physician-diagnosed asthma with concomitant skin reactivity to common allergens. Stratification of the asthma cases by skin reactivity to common allergens revealed an exclusive association of IL-18 -137 G-allele with an increased prevalence of atopic asthma (adjusted odds ratio (OR): 3.63; 95% confidence interval: (1.64-8.02) for GC or GG carriers vs. CC carriers), and no according association with asthma and concomitant negative skin reactivity (adjusted OR: 1.13; 0.66-1.94). The interaction between IL-18 -137G/C genotype and positive skin prick test was statistically significant (P=0.029). None of 74 incident asthma cases with atopy at baseline exhibited the CC genotype. CONCLUSION: Our results strongly suggest that this variant of the IL-18 gene is an important genetic determinant involved in the development of atopic asthma.

Box Score | Team USA Statistics
KAZAN, Russia -- Attacker Paul Reynolds and utility Danny McClintick led Team USA with two goals apiece, but Hungary pulled off a 12-7 win on July 13 to advance to the semifinals of the World University Games in Kazan, Russia.
The United States (2-1-3) will face Australia (2-0-4) in the consolation bracket for the right to play in the fifth place game on July 15 at 4:30 a.m. (PT).
In addition to the two goals by Reynolds and McClintick, Team USA also received one goal each from attackers Daniel Lenhart and Jack Fellner and center Alec Zwaneveld.
Tamas Mezei got Hungary on the board first with a goal at two meters at the 2:28 mark of the first period. Then Marton Toth made it 2-0 when he converted a penalty shot (1:41). Reynolds cut the deficit in half for Team USA with a goal from five meters with 1:13 left in the first period. Then Zwaneveld tied it at 2-2 with a goal at two meters off a nice feed from McClintick (0:32). The Americans found themselves trailing 3-2 at the end of the first by surrendering a late goal (0:04) at five meters from Marton Halek.
Team USA got an equalizer from Lenhart on a five meter shot (assist by Reynolds) to start the second period (7:07). Zsolt Juhasz put Hungary up 4-3 with a score from distance with 4:00 left in the second stanza. Then McClintick tied it up at 4-4 on a power play (3:37). Marton Bence Chilko scored on an extra man opportunity to put Hungary up 5-4 (3:00). Halek then scored from five meters (1:27) to give Hungary a 6-4 lead at the break.
Balazs Somogyi extended Hungary's lead to 7-4 with an exclusion goal with 6:32 left in the third period. Hungary scored four straight unanswered goals with a counter attack strike from Chilko to make it 8-4 (2:39). Fellner snapped that streak with a shot from distance to make it 8-5 with 2:16 remaining in the third. But Hungary ended the period with two more goals to lead 10-5 heading into the fourth. Toth scored a power play goal at the 1:00 mark and then David Szecsi scored from two meters with 0:04 on the clock.
McClintick (6:49) and Reynolds (5:24) opened the final period with back-to-back scores from distance to close the gap to 10-7. Adam Szentesi pushed Hungary's lead to 11-7 with a goal from center with 5:04 remaining. Gabor Kovacs ended the scoring with a counter attack goal with 2:31 left in the fourth period.
USA goalkeeper Garrett Danner played a solid game in goal and was credited with 10 saves. He stopped 10 of the 22 shots by Hungary, or 45.5 percent of its shots. David Bisztritsanyi played in the cage for Hungary, making seven stops (out of 14 shots, 50.0 percent).
Defender Chris Wendt won the only sprint for Team USA (Reynolds 0-for-2, Lenhart 0-for-1). Danner again led the squad with a tournament-best three steals while McClintick led Team USA with two field blocks.

The Betrayal (Precinct 11) by Jerry B. Jenkins
When I read a story, I like to lose myself in it. I want to smell the air, hear the sounds and feel the heartbeat of the character. Having read the entire Left Behind Series and Riven (the novel he always wanted to write), I knew author Jenkins was capable of engrossing this reader deep into the story, I wondered if he could do it with the new Precinct 11 Series.
I will admit I have not read the first book in the Precinct 11 Series, The Brotherhood; crime drama is not my usual pick for a good read, until now…
After having read the Betrayal over the weekend I must declare - Jenkins passed the test – he grabbed this reader within the first few sentences-and he had me throughout the entire journey, hook line and sinker. My family enjoyed frozen pizza and cold cereal.
Boone Drake, the main character, a Chicago cop does what he is programmed to do; protect.
It nearly cost him everything.
A shot is fired and Boone instinctively protecting an oversized witness, a heavy hitter within the drug cartel in Chicago, who was being secretly transported to a safe house Boone is gravely injured, his lung collapsed and shoulder completely shattered, but even before he loses consciousness his mind begins to wander, who leaked our location?
The Betrayal takes the reader on a journey of a classic whodunit.
In the hospital as Boone begins to see through the fog ofanesthesia and narcotics the conclusion creeps up on him quickly; only five people knew where and when he would be transporting PC and his family to the safe house. Five people who Boone Drake trusted with his life, until now.
Someone betrayed the mission. Who is it?
Is it the arrogant partner? The clerk, a beautiful girl he was falling in love with more each day? The beloved chief, who makes a decision to retire the day after the shooting, maybe it is the decorated officer, who is the epitome of honor and dignity? Or perhaps, Boone's long time friend and mentor Jack?
One of these five is the betrayer.
Boone sets out to figure out who the betrayer is before he goes in for major surgery to attempt to rebuild his shoulder. The journey Jenkins takes us on is intense. We feel Boone's passion, we feel his compassion and we feel his pain, literally. He forgoes his pain medication to stay alert and the description of moments when Boones shoulder is bumped made me literally wince with pain.
You will be as stunned as Boone Drake to find out who the Betrayer is.
Thanks to Jerry B Jenkins I am a now a fan of crime drama and recommend The Betrayal.

Lauren Bacall passed away from natural causes Tuesday, she was 89 years old. Best known for her roles in the films "The Big Sleep", "Key Largo", "The Fan", "How to Marry a Millionaire" and "Blood Alley". Bacall was also a stage actress and model who was involved in politics and a staunch Democratic supporter. She was also married to her co-star Humphrey Bogart and the two were married in 1945 (she was 20 and he was 45) and their relationship caused quite a stir in Hollywood until his death in 1957.
Born Betty Joan Perkse on September 16, 1924 in Brooklyn, New York and was of European Jewish heritage. She attended the American Academy of Dramatic Arts (where she studied acting) and worked as a model in her spare time. Bacall got her big break in Hollywood when she screen tested for the role of Marie Browning in the 1944 Howard Hawks film "To Have and Have Not". Impressed with her audition Hawks signed her to a seven year personal contract. Whilst filming she met her future husband and co-star Humphrey Bogart.
Smitten with Bacall, Bogart divorced his wife of seven years Mayo Methot and the two were married shortly after. The two appeared in several films and television projects such as the film noirs "The Big Sleep", "Key Largo", "Dark Passage" and "The Petrified Forest". Bogart died 1957 and Bacall was left a widow with two children. She continued her career with the films "Gift of Love", "Designing Woman" and "North West Frontier".
Bacall would marry again for a second time to actor Jason Robards Jr. The two has a tumultuous relationship that ended in divorce due to Robards' severe drinking problem. During this time her career stalled and she appeared in a few movies. Her career would be revived in the seventies as she appeared in the films "Murder on the Orient Express", "The Shootist", "HealtH and "The Fan".
In her later years Lauren Bacall would make guest star and cameo appearances in film and television. She would receive an Academy Award nomination in 1997 for her role as Hannah Morgan in the movie "The Mirror has Two Faces" and would win a Golden Globe as well. Bacall would be awarded with an honorary Oscar in 2010 for her work in Hollywood's Golden Age. During the twilight of her life she continue to make sporadic in film doing voiceover work.
Lauren Bacall was another member of Hollywood's Golden Age has passed away. She was a unique actress whose unconventional approach to acting and her trademark husky voice made her an iconic figure. Another light from old Hollywood has flickered out and she will be missed. Bacall is survived by her three children.

A Florida appeals court has reversed its ruling that would have allowed slot machines at the Creek Entertainment facility in Gretna.
The 1st District Court of Appeals decided in May that because Gadsden County residents had voted to approve slot machines at the facility, Creek Entertainment was allowed to implement slots without legislative approval.
In hopes of inspiring the current members of Quincy's Main Street to rebuild downtown Quincy into a business district, the organization's original leader spoke to the current members Friday
She shared her experiences as Thomasville's Main Street director during a 20-year period when the city's downtown business district was rejuvenated.
Cynthia Hayes-Riley believes cancer saved her life.
She was diagnosed with breast cancer one year and one week after a car backed over her and then hit her again, seriously injuring her and killing her 15-year-old daughter, Crystal, who was trying to pull her mom out of the car's path in East Gadsden High School's parking lot after a football game. Her oldest daughter, Jocelyn, now 27, was not hurt.
The aftermath of the tragedy in October 2006 left Hayes-Riley grief-stricken, depressed, unable to walk and
asking why.
Sheriff Morris Young will host his third annual cross-county walk for breast cancer awareness October 30. The walk will begin in Chattahoochee and end in Midway this year.
Though people are allowed to participate in the walk without a team and without paying a registration fee, the walk's chairperson Ronterrious Green hopes they buy event t-shirts while hoping organizations like businesses, churches and sororities will pay the $35 it costs to register as a team. All funds go to efforts for breast cancer awareness and research, Green said.
A Quincy man prosecuted for sexual assault, burglary and theft has been found not guilty.
A jury delivered the verdict rendering Gregory Marshall, 50, innocent Sept. 17 and he was released Tuesday morning.
The trial lasted two days.
Marshall had been accused of stealing his girlfriend's purse and cellphone before assaulting her.
The woman told deputies Marshall sexually assaulted her behind a house then choked her later that evening, and the deputies reported seeing bruises on the woman's neck that corroborated her story.
The Gadsden County Sheriff's Office made its biggest bust yet in its fight against synthethic drugs this past Friday when they arrested a suspect in Quincy's Sawdust community.
They report seizing more than 500 grams of the synthetic drug known as "molly" or "flakka," in addition to
4 pounds of marijuana, 32.7 grams of crack cocaine and nearly 10 grams of powder cocaine in connection with the arrest of Montavious Perkins. They also confiscated $616 that was located in the car Perkins was found in.
Members of several Quincy and Havana civic clubs as well as representatives from all of the law enforcement agencies in the county converged on The First Baptist Church of Quincy's dining hall for a luncheon Tuesday afternoon to see who would be crowned Gadsden County's Law Enforcement Officer of the Year.
A former Shanks Middle School teacher faces a felony charge related to an incident this past April where he allegedly instructed six of his students to jump another of his
Dewayne Johnson, 24, of Tallahassee, was charged Sept. 14 with cruelty toward a child, contributing to the delinquency of a minor and disturbing the peace.
A Quincy man stabbed to death in 1937 while sentenced to the Dozier School for Boys was properly laid to rest by his family Friday morning.
Relatives of Robert Stephens gathered at the Smith Cemetery in Quincy where they buried Stephens' bones in a tiny white casket.
Quincy native Glenn Sapp was announced as the city's permanent police chief at the Sept. 8 meeting of Quincy city commissioners. He had served the position in the interim for nearly a year.
Sapp has been a law enforcement professional for nearly 25 years now, beginning as a military police officer patrolling over a prisoner of war camp during the Gulf War.
He was first introduced to a law enforcement officer's work as an 11-year-old participant in the Quincy Police Department's junior police program during the late '70s.

Another good strategy is to get a woman something
that matches her eye color, whether it's a simple scarf or a pretty
pair of mittens. "People always look good in -- and therefore
appreciate -- items that set off their eyes," Spizman says.
Also, pay attention to what your
recipient values. A family that travels a lot might appreciate a
few new car games. A writer might enjoy a beautiful pen or pack
of stationery. A humanitarian might appreciate a donation to a nonprofit
organization such as the Make-A-Wish
Foundation in his or her name. "Again, the idea is to show
the person that you paid attention to them," says Spizman.

no matter how inexpensive that gift might be."

Nice and Long
This suit is nice and long. I am 5"10" and have a long torso, so it fits me well. But, I do have big boobs (36DD) and wear a size 14. The suit is a size 40 and I could have gotten away with a 38. I like the reversible suits because they are really thick and offer more support than a regular suit. the neck is nice and high, so my big boobs don't create so much drag doing laps. Would buy again.

Great Suit, Great Price Point!
I bought this for my 12 year old. She wears Nike/TYR size 28. This suit fit a little bigger than the other brands. I would probably purchase a 26 next time to try for a "snugger" fit. Having said that: SHE LOVES THIS SUIT! Definitely her "go to" suit. She says it is soft, comfortable and she loves the reversibility. And at $25-35 less/suit: ONLY SPORTI IN OUR HOUSE NOW!

It ok
Kinda big but comfortable. I love the style but i only use the black side because after couple weeks of use the neon side starts fading and it looks horrible. i bought it 8/2012 still wearing it.

The fabric is good quality and feels great against the skin. The cut of the suit is right on and enhances performance when swimming laps. Overall this is a good suit choice.

good price
good price..I prefer the TYR reversible suit because it is thicker. This suit runs a little narrow across the chest but is still satisfactory. I have worn it about 7 times and the hot pink color "bleeds"...it drips pink water when I hang it to dry. (I swim in a salt water filtered pool).
Grants Pass, OR
They fade fast
The neon pink and yellow colors were what drew my 10-year-old to this suit, and the color faded within a month of use. Now they are a washed-out baby pink and a pale yellow. She wears them both reversed so the colors don't show. Outside of the disappointing color issue, the suits fit fine and the fabric is holding up to 3x week use.

had a long life, for not a lot of polyester.
very comfortable suit, lasted quite a while although, not as long as my polyester ones. conservative cut in the leg opening.
nice suit
I haven't been able to wear this suit yet but in trying it on it fits well and I have a hard time finding suit that fit well through the bust as I am a D cup.

Edmonton company fined for foreign workers
CBC News Posted: Oct 25, 2011 2:50 PM MT Last Updated: Oct 25, 2011 2:41 PM MT
An Edmonton company was fined for hiring foreign workers without authorization, according to the Canada Border Services Agency.
Empire Drywall pleaded guilty Tuesday in Edmonton Provincial Court to four counts of employing temporary foreign workers lacking proper authorization.
They were fined $9,000 for each count, totaling $36,000.
The Canada Border Services Agency — responsible for investigating people in violation of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act — launched an investigation on the Empire Drywall in Sept. 2008.
This was the biggest imposed fine in the province since 2006.
How does this pathetic fine punish Empire?
The company is decades old. Barry is second generation of the firm. The Sun reports that his defense lawyer called Barry 'inexperience' and naive'. That's a joke!
This fine neither punishes or serves as a deterrent
Everyone judges this because it went to court. He owned up to it 100% and never denied it. Did not treat the workers another way and paid them fairly. The workers were well aware they were not hired legally but needed work. He provided work for them regardless of the situation
He was happy he found workers finally and they were happy they could actually find work and make a few bucks
Really…. That horrible?
If you had to provide for your family and the ony work you could get was through a company like this and the boss was willing to take a risk on you…. Would you deny it because u knew technically its illegal?
A company like Empire basically screwed canadians out of a job.. Not fair on any platform…
The boss was willing to commit fraud and steal from Canadians ? thats what you said.
Yes the company should avoid it. Absolutely.They are breaking the law intentionally which does not look good for their morals overall. This is not because they could not find workers and is caring so much about others. These companies do this for one reason only-TO PAY WORKERS LESS AND OFFER LESS SO THEY CAN KEEP MORE MONEY FOR THEMSELVES,AT THE SAME TIME THEY SCREW QUALIFIED LOCAL PEOPLE.
"If you had to provide for your family……" blah, blah, blah.
Please… spare us without all these sentimental platitudes before I break down and cry my eyes out.
And, what part of "illegal worker" don't you understand?
US immigration laws and restrictions have already proven that immigrant labor doesn't take jobs away from native born citizens., they are happy to do work that we are to lazy to do ourselves. Not to mention the quality and inconsistency of the spoiled Alberta bred. The only reason anyone would be leaving negative comments in regards to this story is your a competitor of Empire or one of the previously mentioned lazy spoiled Albertans. Barry is not second generation his wife is and this was their first attempt to bring in foreign labor, I'm proud to say I know him and his family. His intentions were good willed. I would hope that anyone that has visited a war torn 3rd world country like Mexico, Nicaragua, Honduras or other would appreciate these efforts for what they truly were. Good on you Barry for taking responsibility for your actions. We have all made mistakes, hopefully the words of 1 or 2 former disgruntled drywallers doesn't over shadow the achievements of an outstanding family run business. Get those boys some green cards!!
As for "blah blah blah" total ignorance is truly bliss.
I'm a former employee, and recall the immigrant labor coming to Canada, I'm positive that they originally did have the proper paper work that probably expired. Before you pass judgement check the real facts. It's too easy to slander someone's good name on the Internet.
However the law is the law and 36,000 dollars is a lot of money to anyone to throw away. The punishment reflects the crime and then some. Who gets that money? It should be used to ensure that businesses are properly educated on immigrant labor laws.
one of the previously mentioned lazy spoiled Albertans "" I DONT BELIEVE YOU JUST SAID THAT. i hope we never meet. and, I hope your not one of US. go back to where you came.. you hate Albertans. So your an enemy.
This idiot never met my husband, the White Janitor, who has a hard time finding work coz people want to think that no white man wants to be a professional janitor. And yeah, we live in Alberta. I am dismayed to find this PC pro-immigrant crapola pushed foward here instead of just in Pakitario or Chancouver.
if Canada would keep illegals out of the country then firms could not hire them.
IF the Canadian gov't wasn't the problem here i dont know what is. WE NEED TO HAVE BABIES.. then think 20 years down the road. On the path we are on presently…. no wonder we have so many immigrants from 'backwards' countries.. to support the child base and the tax base…. . MEANWHILE… Canadians and specifically Albertans work to pay tax and live……. NOT HAVE KIDS….. univisity education? are you serious? ….
the idea of unbounded growth is a myth spread by multinationals. If we really want a stable country with good social services, we do not need unfettered growth through immigration – we need to keep a small but stable society. We would have been better off if our population had stayed at 26 million (when healthcare was good) than letting it get to what it is now (32 million plus, with third worlders straining the system becuase of their stupid problems realting to not being able to constrain their sexual selves from getting AIDS, which they think is a myth.)
There's always 3 sides to any story.
His, their's, and what took place.
Bottem line Barry man'ed up. Didn't try to drag out some court case, but took his lumps for mistakes made.
I've worked for Empire, still sub from them when I'm working out of my West coast office. I personally have NEVER had a problem with Barry, Dave, Alex or any of their staff.
When I had a problem, we talked it out. Like professionals.
Same way Barry handeled this.
Like the pro he is.
Some guy's have or had nothing but problems, sometimes it was self induced, and prefer to refer to them in a negative light.
Each to their own.
try again . problems? are you a taper? any time i had to talk like a PROFESSIONAL i found that they are UN PROFESSIONAL and really dont listen to the little guy. instead.. they only listen to one thing. SILENCE from the new guy cuz he dont know how badly hes being set up to lose.
empire is the best scew everyone else
I know this is outa date but as a former tradesman for empire and a canadian have lost several contracts to mexican immigrants. It actually has now put me out of work twice with the company in the fall of 2008 during this crap happening and this fall as well. Now im a canadian fighting to put food on my kids table and to keep a roof over their head. Im not a racist man but tell me this. They have to prove that there are no canadians to hire before they can hire out of country. How come i got pushed out of the company? Ill tell you why. Big companies are getting cheaper and cheaper and if it means putting a canadian family on the street to save a buck because out of country people are paid less than we are. Empire is over run with mexicans. Alot of their service men, shop workers etc are mexicans and ive even seen them send out their shop personel at their hourly wage to do contracts as hourly theyll save more than paying out the contract price to a tradesman. Everyone wonders why albertans are having issues finding work or holding onto their job and being ripped off via pocket and bank account, its because of foreigners coming in and working for substantially less than what we are paid. So therefore we are now obsolete. Its just another form of corporate control. We now have to work longer hours to make ends meet and now have less time with family and friends as a result of it all.
As an Albertan, yeah. that crap from Ontario has spread here. Get rid of the immigfrants, period, and spend the money on training Canadians for jobs. F the immigrants, cut them off completely.
You say foreign workers cost substantially less? Where are you getting this information from? The government mandates their pay and trust me, it is significantly higher than you think… More than the going rate. The truth is, these foreign workers are good people… With families to support, just like you. The only difference is what country they were born in. They work twice as hard as everyone else because if they don't, back to Mexico they go…
I'm tired of reading all these lies about Empire; they are a good business, a family business who treats their staff like family too. Ask anyone who works there, you can't buy loyalty it is earneD
You are obviously a Leftist shill. go to the US if you want cheaipie foreign labour. Go ruin another country with your crap ideas, leave Canada alone, we have enough to do with repairing the damage your lot caused already.
The going rate for a REAL JOURNEYMAN is 60+ per hour. I have spent 10 years LEARNING this trade and paying respect to the men and women who are sacrificing their time and lives to work as TAPERS. Gaining TRUST and LOYALTY from businesses like Empire only to be "low-balled" is commonplace – many companies do it and the lower they go the lower the quality of worker gets.. UNTIL NO ONE WANTS TO WORK IN THIS INDUSTRY. That guy up top is right.
To undervalue real Canadian skilled labour and then SUBSIDIZE foreign workers is insulting and provokes anger. Foreign workers owe nothing to the Canadian system. They just take because they don't have much time at the trough. They are not pressured to work like we do, pay bills like we do, or think of our futures such as education 20 years down the road or healthcare like we do. We pay 25% more in taxes than USA, we spend more than USA by 25% and our Education and Health is supposedly better.. They get THAT and ALL THE REST – TAX free, and no debt with all the credit available. Sounds like its BETTER to NOT BE CANADIAN.
They still have to live in our system and IF THEY DONT TAKE WORK AWAY FROM ALBERTANS THEN THEY ARE SENT BACK.
PAY ALBERTANS MORE FOR BEING LOYAL TO ALBERTA. Being born into a caste system – like INDIA – makes sense if your a tradesman. Means you have been taught over generations. To take this away from men and women in Canada and devalue their skillsets and quality is a Canadian horror story that just won't end. Canada was built on immigrant labour.. but did they sacrifice the English and the French systems in place? NOT ONE BIT. But thats whats happening in Canada, Alberta right now.
I will hire cheap labour and hire them out at 60 per hour but Im not paying them more than 15-20 per hour.. WhAT DO THEY KNOW? AND WHY SHOULD I SUPPORT THOSE WHO DONT SUPPORT ALBERTA ?
Think about it. Make empire rich by taking away from legitimate Albertans. 36,000 fine? He made more than that in 1 month by QUICK PAYS…. which are payments before the PAY PERIOD with a 10% " ADMINISTRATION FEE " .. its all not recorded and i bet the FOREIGN worker as well as the Canadian worker paid the tax, NOT EMPIRE….. can u say fraudulent?
IF WE HAD TICKETS IN TAPING WE WOULDNT HIRE FOREIGN LABOUR BECAUSE THEY COULDNT GET INTO NAIT. PERIOD. im tired of the CON ARTISTS.
as subcontractors our wage is defined by the laws of supply and demand. the only way we get a raise is by the scarcity of workers compared withe the amount of work . no work less money. when companies bring in temporary foreign workers it influences the laws of supply and demand. barry did not make a mistake he knew what he was doing. more workers lower wage more money for the company. he did not just lower wages for empire workers but for the industry as a whole. 35000 fine was not enough. how much money did barry make? add another 0 or more. hes a business man and anybody in business uses every rule in the book to make money and sometimes bends the rules. their not his rules. you wand to complain, phone the govt or better phone people like dave rutherford because he does not believe stuff like this happens. 18005637770 that is rutherfords number complaining on here will get you nowhere. do something that can make a difference. dave talks about these poor companies that cant find workers all the time. let him know that the tfw program should be shut down

Report on the Implementation of the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (350 KB PDF)
In August 1990, when President George H. W. Bush signed the Oil Pollution Act (OPA) into law and authorized use of the Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund (OSLTF), the Fund was already four years old. Congress created the Fund in 1986, but did not pass legislation to authorize the use of the money or the collection of revenue necessary for its maintenance. It was only after the Exxon Valdez grounding and the passage of OPA that authorization was granted.
{back to top}
In addition to authorizing use of the OSLTF, OPA consolidated the liability and compensation requirement of certain prior federal oil pollution laws and their supporting funds, including the:
With the consolidation of these funds and the collection of a tax on the petroleum industry, the Fund increased to $1 billion. Fund uses were delineated by OPA to include:
The OSLTF has two major components.
To ensure rapid, effective response to oil spills, the President has the authority to make available--without Congressional appropriation--up to $50 million each year to fund removal activities and initiate NRDAs. Funds not used in a fiscal year are available until expended. To the extent that $50 million is inadequate, the Maritime Transportation Security Act of 2002 granted authority to advance up to $100 million from the Principal Fund to fund removal activities. (This provision has not been utilized to date.)
A core mission of the NPFC is to administer the disbursement and ensure proper use of the Emergency Fund, 24 hours a day, every day, so that the FOSC can immediately respond to a discharge or monitor prompt and effective cleanup activities by the responsible party (RP). the Emergency Fund can be used by FOSCs to cover expenses associated with mitigating the threat of an oil spill, as well as the costs of oil spill containment, countermeasures, cleanup, and disposal activities. While the use of the OSLTF is most closely associated with discharges from ships, it has increasingly been used for discharges at industrial or onshore oil storage and production facilities.
The Principal Fund of the OSLTF has several recurring and nonrecurring sources of revenue.
The Principal Fund has two types of expenses.

Trading play money is easier than trading real money. Don't go and get the monopoly money and think you can trade with that. Simulated trading is a very important building block to your trading success. There are some important areas that you need to take into account once you start sim trading before you put your hard earned real money out there.
When sim trading you will get faster order executions on both your buy and sell orders. The reason you are getting the faster order fills is that you do not have to wait in line behind the other orders that were already placed there by other traders. Once the price is hit where you have your order in sim trading it will be filled immediately. One good way to work through this is to observe how many orders were at your buy price and the number of orders that were already there. Then watch the number of orders that are executed at that price, once the volume reaches the initial amount that was already there you can have a good indication that your oder was filled. When looking to see if your sell order would have been executed an even better assurance that your order would have been filled is if the price goes one increment above where you had your sell order.
When you start sim trading you should start keeping a journal. Document every trade that you make, Write down why you entered the trade. What indicators you were looking at that made you think it was a good entry point for the trade. Write down the entry price and what your initial target is to exit the trade. You can even print the chart and attach it to your journal. Write down your exit price when you get out of the trade. Document the gain or loss from that trade. You can not write too much down in your journal. Some time after the close of the trading day you need to go back and review all your trades with you journal. By looking over the trades you have made each day, try to see the good and the bad of each trade. There is always room for improvement in trading. Trading is an business that requires constant and continued learning. The market is not that same every day. Just because the market did one thing one day does not mean that it will do the same thing day to day and it will not react the same to news as it did another day. You need to work continually at finding what is working for you and what is not working for you.
There are a number of free services that will give great information on charts, ticker symbols that show advancers and decliners and sector heat mapping. Work with various demo accounts in the various markets, stock market, futures market, currency market to see what you are comfortable with before you start trading with your real money.

We have seen many devastating effects of global warming in recent years – melting ice caps, damaged ecosystems, extreme weather conditions – but one troubling development might make a few more people sit up and take notice of the growing problem. Hold on to your kegs, kids – we've got a beer shortage on our hands.
A triple whammy of bad weather in Europe, an increase in the price of barley and a decrease in hops production in the U.S. has lead to a price increase of 20 percent for the most widely grown varieties, to 80 percent for specialty hops. The shortage is particularly hitting microbreweries, since they use more hops than major brewers. Industrial brewers like Anheuser-Busch and Miller are more insulated against the shortage because they have futures contracts with hops farmers. The contracts, which help big brewers hedge against rising prices, allow them to buy a quantity of hops for a specific period of time for a certain price. – NPR
If you love craft beer, this is the type of news that can send chills up your spine just in time for the weekend. Similar to what is happening among gasoline users, beer drinkers from Australia to Oregon can expect to have to pay more for less in the coming months – or even years. Many industry professionals are predicting a 10-15 percent price jump, while others are more worrisome about shortages affecting the quality of beer.
To make beer, you need water, malted barley, yeast and hops – the dried female flowers, also known as cones, from hop vines. When you crush a hop cone, you get a yellow pollenlike powder on your fingers called lupulin. That's the zing brewers get from hops. Without hops for bittering, there would be no way for brewers to temper the roasted sweetness of the malt. Hops also provide aroma – that burst of floral, spiciness you might get in the head of an American-style India pale ale. Hundreds of years ago, British brewers sending IPAs off to India also appreciated the natural preserving qualities of hops. – FOX Business
Brewery owners insist that any difference in taste will be minimal, but the news of the shortages and price hikes has many beer enthusiasts paying closer attention to global warming's influence on the matter. Hail storms across Europe damaged farms, Australia recorded its worst drought to date, and extreme heat in the western U.S. wreaked havoc on yields and quantity. Several brewers are concerned more people will turn to wine and spirits, though both of those industries are facing their own battles as well. Perhaps Bud Light will leave a bad enough taste in people's mouths – well, a worse taste than normal – to motivate the masses into noticing the widespread effects of global warming. Or maybe it will just continue to get worse until bathtub gin and moonshine are our only options. Cheers!

FRESNO, Calif. -- After playing in challenging weather conditions during day one of the Fresno State Classic, the Bulldogs came back on day two to play a strong, final round at their annual host tournament.

I play a good bit of commander mode in Battlefield 4. There are a few ways to get kills as a commander (destroying an enemy gunship, dropping a supply crate on someone), but most notably is launching a cruise missile. I recently get 10 kills in a match with missiles, but looking all throughout Battlelog, I can't find any recording of total commander or total cruise missile kills.
Is this stat available at all, either through Battlelog or through the Battlelog API?

The Center for Historic and Military Archaeology (CHMA) is an academic research and experiential learning program designed to reach beyond the traditional focus of undergraduate education. The CMHA provides a quality program for anthropological archaeologists focusing on historic and military archaeology and cultural research.
The Center operates an Experiential Learning Program involving Heidelberg students with middle school and high school students, their parents and their teachers with research at the Johnson's Island Civil War Military Prison site. Since 1994, Heidelberg has carried out undergraduate and graduate summer field schools at the Johnson's Island Civil War Military Prison site under the guidance of the Center's Director, Dr. David Bush.
Investigations at the Johnson's Island Civil War Prison Site began in 1988 by Dr. Bush. Over the past years, Dr. Bush has explored various issues related to prisoner confinement and treatment. Since 1998, Dr. Bush has brought these investigations to the Center for use in the Experiential Learning Program, Undergraduate Research and interpretative displays. Undergraduate students at Heidelberg enjoy the opportunity to utilize the extensive collections from this site in individual research projects resulting in professional quality papers and presentations.
Significant field research and/or study also has been conducted at Fort Miamis in Maumee, Fort Adams near Celina, Fort Meigs in Perrysburg and River Raisin Massacre in Monroe, Mich. Additional archaeological investigations are being considered for other historic and military sites in Seneca Country and around the state of Ohio. The CHMA is located within Gillmor Science Hall. Its facilities are commensurate with the nationally significant sites under study.

An upstate dog is still sitting in foster care, waiting for her forever home, Facebook reported March 12.
Miss Eve, a 2-year-old border collie mix rescued from the euthanasia list at Greenville County Animal Care Services, had a family interested in adopting her, but they can't take her at this time.
She's a medium sized dog, weighing in at around 36 pounds. Miss Eve is heartworm negative and up to date on her vaccinations. She's already been spayed and crate trained.
A family with other dogs and kids would be ideal, as Miss Eve gets along great with both. This sweet girl ignores any cats who cross her path, so having a cat in the family is no problem.
Miss Eve loves to play, but she's also happy just sitting beside her person and being a good dog. She'd make a great indoor companion, or outside if her family provides a large fenced-in yard.
Is Miss Eve the dog of your dreams? If so, please contact Stephanie Boone Lassiter via Facebook, or Greenville County Animal Care Services at firstname.lastname@example.com. Stephanie has her in foster care, but would love to get her into her forever home.

In what has to come as a shock to college football fans in and out of Oklahoma, the Sporting News released their pre-season rankings for the 2014 season on Wednesday. In those college football preseason rankings, the magazine named the Oklahoma Sooners the number one team in the nation. They ranked the Sooners over the defending champion Florida State Gators, who were ranked third.
The Sooners had a successful 2013 season, despite a plethora of injuries. However, one of the Sooners big problems was at the quarterback position where Blake Bell, Trevor Knight and Kendal Thompson all played some. By the time the Sugar Bowl rolled around, head coach Bob Stoops named Knight the quarterback for the game. It was a questionable call since Knight had not played well all season.
Knight finished that game by completing 32-of-44 passes for 348 yards and four touchdowns. It was Knight's best game of his college career and he beat the mighty Alabama Crimson Tide by two touchdowns. That is one of the reasons the Sporting News put the Sooners in first in their college football preseason rankings.
The magazine called Knight a quarterback who looks confident and predicted a breakout season for the sophomore. The Sooners have to hope he does, because they moved Blake Bell to tight end and the backups for Knight are even more inexperienced than he was last season. Oklahoma also continues to try to improve a defense that has had one too many lapses the past two seasons.
Florida State, who won the National Championship in 2013 by beating the Auburn Tigers, ranks third behind the Pac-12 Oregon Ducks. Alabama will try to rebound from their loss to the Sooners and rank fourth in the Sporting News college football preseason rankings. Rounding out the top 10 are Auburn, Stanford, Baylor, UCLA, Ohio State and South Carolina. The Oklahoma Sooners open their 2014 college football season on Aug. 30.

For example, "ls"-ing a directory with an .exe inside, would appear as

Instead of
Note: the * appended.
How might I acheive this? I don't have any experience with bash so I don't know what to Google, but bless my socks I did try for a good hour.
I have already customized the bash colours using this: http://hocuspokus.net/2008/01/a-better-ls-for-mac-os-x/

Hi Aries my birthday is April 12th 1982. Also i no the years are different but heres a brief description of myself on the positive side I'm Kind hearted, very loveing, Smart very independent, and i will never ever start a fight or brawl but i will finish it if i happen to loose my cool. On the negative side I'm very short temperd, Very bold and straight to the point, I sometimes respond to people without takeing there feelings in to consideration, And some times i snap out at the drop of a dime if i really get agitated. But I would half to say i love being a aries as i have got older i have learned to calm myself more and don't blow my top as fast. I also own my own business, Of course u no aries are Go getters and we have Huge Egooooo's but long story short aries rock……………..lol
