Recommended Items
- Playing As Teemo
- Teemo's mushrooms can be used to farm creep waves very effectively.
- Place your mushrooms at key locations on the map, such as by the Dragon or Baron Nashor, to reveal when your enemies might be attempting to kill them.
- Playing Against Teemo
- Teemo's punishes who get hit and back out, so stay at a safe range until you're ready to commit.
- It can be valuable to use mushrooms around key locations. (Trinket) to destroy
- Ability Usage
- Sometimes it is better to stand still and go into Camouflage for an escape mechanism than to use Move Quick or .
- Unlike other stealth abilities, Teemo loses Camouflage if knocked up.
- When playing Teemo not in mid lane, an easy way to get First Blood is to use Camouflage just out of range of their turrets' sight or at the edge of the bush closest to their turret, and wait for the enemy champion to start farming. When they move about right next to you, and kill them with the help of the mid lane champion if necessary. would be useful with this .
- Blinding Dart can be used to harass effectively and can help Teemo kill physical champions in fights.
- Blinding Dart with can destroy a champion who relies heavily on physical attacks like Tryndamere or Caitlyn. Apply blind first then apply after the blind has worn off. This will allow your blind CD to refresh while your enemy is exhausted, minimizing their DPS. If you use both at the same time, the blind will override the attack damage/ability power reduction. Similarly, you can use these two abilities on two champions, effectively taking them out of the battle for a few seconds.
- Blinding Dart can be used as an autoattack timer reset. This is extremely important to learn how to use throughout the game. Opening with a normal attack, immediately using Blinding Dart, then proceeding to autoattack will apply great burst damage, even during laning. Try mastering this combo to use it on the fly and you'll increase your ability power/attack speed damage tremendously.
- If Blinding Dart is used on Warwick's Infinite Duress it will stop the damage from the attacks but the on-hit affects will still apply, this will dramatically decrease the damage taken.
- Use Move Quick to get back to lane quicker.
- Move Quick can also be used to get from lane to lane very quickly, allowing you to help out in fights all over the map.
- Using with your poison can ensure kills on fleeing enemies.
- One is to place some Noxious Trap in your lane and wait for the enemy to push. After this, go into Camouflage. Then, after the enemy runs into a couple of Noxious Traps, use Blinding Dart and auto attacks to finish them.
- Placing a Noxious Trap or two behind the first turret and before the 2nd near the paths to the jungle but not in the minions' path can turn an almost kill into an easy kill.
- Teemo's Noxious Trap can be used to farm creep waves very effectively; it is best to keep your mushrooms spread out and not too close to each other. If a lane has enemy minions stacking on each other (especially the ranged minions), pop a Noxious Trap down in the middle of them and watch them all die in just a few seconds. Use this only if you need to stop a wave immediately or stop future waves, because it is necessary to maximize potential damage by increasing the number of active shrooms on the map to win. More shrooms = more chances of hitting them = more net damage.
- Put a Noxious Trap at key locations on the map, such as by Dragon or Baron Nashor to reveal when your enemies might be attempting to kill them or to prevent ganking and make counter ganks. This is similar to a but the range that Noxious Trap reveals is much smaller.
- Tip: Place two, one near the opening and one behind the monster. The front one will explode after an enemy steps on it, thwarting them from starting Baron Nashor or Dragon, while the back one will allow you to see the health of the monster and whether it is being attacked.
- Depending on the enemy teams melee/range makeup, you can put a Noxious Trap to the side of Baron Nashor to reveal 1-2 enemy melee champions, or you can place them a little behind the side of the baron if there are 3 or more. This will usually reveal enemy melee champions currently attempting to slay Baron Nashor.
- Make sure to place the Noxious Trap out of the path of the Rift Scuttler or kill it in advance, since it will trigger shrooms.
- Put a Noxious Trap inside brushes and entrances to your lanes or your team's side of the map to ensure maximum safety.
- When fighting against a Twisted Fate, be careful because if he uses Destiny any Noxious Traps near any ally will be revealed.
- When laying down Noxious Traps in the jungle, keep in mind that the champion movement pathing often hugs the terrain as they take the shortest route to the selected location. Laying traps against walls at turning points will increase the chance enemies will run into them on their way to/from lanes. Placing down shrooms in the center will allow for a more permanent ward (sometimes).
- Also, when laying traps in a lane, remember that minions travel through the middle, and if the front minion runs into it only he and one minion behind him will be hit. Placing them on the sides can increase the chances of hitting a champion.
- Placing two to three Noxious Traps by the enemy red or blue buff is generally a good idea considering you might just get lucky and steal it from them while slowing their farming down.
- It's sometimes a good idea to place a few Noxious Traps behind you before entering a teamfight, that way if you begin to lose, your team can run off and lead the enemy right into a minefield.
- If planting mushrooms at Dragon or Baron Nashor, they will provide vision if placed off to the side.
- Don't forget that Noxious Trap can be placed down in team fights and only has a short time to arm. Doing this could secure a kill or slow down an enemy when he/she is trying to escape.
- If you are suspecting a possible towerdive from an opposing champion, place Noxious Traps behind and in front of your turret in order to slow and deal damage to the enemy.
- If an enemy is engaging you at melee range, Noxious Traps can be used to peel them off you by placing one underneath you and stepping backwards.
- Mastery Usage
- Item Usage
- Noxious Trap's recharge time is greatly improved with cooldown reduction.
- is excellent for this purpose.
- One build route for Teemo is the physical damage route; this route takes advantage of Teemo's innately fast attack speed and quick attack animation along with the attack speed boost his innate ability provides. This involves getting items which boost attack damage and attack speed, such as; , , , and .
- Note that items like on-hit effects with physical damage items will reduce damage output if you opt to buy those shred items. , for example, will not increase the damage that gives, while will not increase the damage that deals. Additionally, on-hit effects cannot critically strike or proc life steal. Keep this in mind when buying items like . increase physical damage, while increases magical damage. Building
- A second route is the ability power route; this route focuses on Teemo's ability to deal damage via Blinding Dart, Toxic Shot and Noxious Trap. This involves getting items which boost AP and/or grant magic penetration, such as , , and .
- Magic penetration will apply to already existing traps. Buying items such as or will greatly increase their damage, even if they are bought while you are dead.
- Teemo can build ability power and attack speed with items that proc on-hit effects, like or . These combos work well with his poison's on-hit effect.
- Building a Teemo can lead to huge bursts of damage. on ability power
- Teemo's on-hit damage, due to its passive.
- However, the cooldown reduction gives more opportunities to cast Blinding Dart and Noxious Trap, which provides much utility. If building Teemo into a mage, is a must.
- Teemo an additional on-hit effect while providing life steal in one item. gives
- With Toxic Shots can proc on up to 2 additional enemies. ,
- Noxious Trap deal massive amount of health burn, up to 4% per second per mushroom. The base amount is 2%, doubled when the movement is impaired. The health burn will refresh every poison tick, which occurs every one second. This means the total burn will equal 20% (4 seconds of doubled damage totaling 16% and 2 seconds of normal damage continuing after the poison expires totaling 4%)
combined with
- Toxic Shot does not trigger passive because it is an on-hit effect.
- Although Teemo has a slow basic movement speed, Move Quick significantly increases this out of combat. Combined with and Teemo can move between lanes and get back to lane very quickly.
- However, if an enemy runs into one of your traps, you will be in combat. This means the bonus movement speed from will be removed.

- Keep in note that Toxic Shot deals a lot of magic damage instead of physical damage and you still need some magic resistance along with attack speed reduction.
- When chasing an enemy Teemo that enters Camouflage, area of effect and skillshot abilities can forcibly cause Teemo to break stealth and attempt to escape. Knockback and knockup effects will break Teemo's Camouflage as well.
- When facing AP Teemo during early game, he will typically poke and run while letting his poison deal damage and lowering your health gradually, until he is able to burst you down. Be prepared to pull away if he approaches, and use s to keep your health high.
- Do not chase Teemo if he attacks once and then runs, particularly AP Teemo, as he is most likely luring you through a field of Noxious Traps.
- If you are using a champion whose damage output is either strongly or entirely based on their auto attacks (ex. Jax, Vayne, Kog'Maw, or even Teemo himself) you need to purchase items to mitigate Teemo's Blinding Dart
- Tenacity are quite useful (ex. and ) and items providing
- If you're using a long-ranged marksman champion such as Tristana, Caitlyn, Kog'Maw with Bio-Arcane Barrage activated or Jinx using Fishbones, take advantage of your extended range in order to stay away from his Blinding Dart.
- Teemo is often played top lane and very rarely mid lane because his Blinding Dart, his damage over time with his Toxic Shot and his kiting kit potential with his Move Quick and Noxious Traps can give most melee bruisers (i.e. Nasus, Renekton, Jax, Gangplank, Wukong, Tryndamere, Aatrox, Rengar, Olaf, Trundle, and Darius), assassins (i.e. Fizz, Akali, Master Yi, and Diana) an extremely hard time. However, keep in note that Blinding Dart only blocks auto-attacks and does not block damage and crowd-control effects from abilities. Because of this, AP mages with spells that can outrange and out-push him (i.e. Lux and Ziggs) or AD casters with spammable ranged abilities (i.e. Pantheon and Zed) can lane decently well against Teemo and zone him out.
- Most Teemo players disregard building defensive items and are therefore easy to kill. Look for opportunities to engage and burst him before he can retreat to his minefield.
- Noxious Traps grants Teemo strong map control by granting minor vision in addition to the strong slow and damage over time makes Teemo relatively difficult to gank after level 6. Coordinate with your jungler before level 6 to shut down his farming and bring if necessary.
- Yorick is considered to be a strong counter to Teemo for many reasons. First, Unholy Covenant mitigates a lot of Teemo's poking harass, including Toxic Shot. Second, Yorick is able to out-sustain Teemo with his Omen of Famine. Third, his kit functions more of a ranged AD caster rather than an autoattacker, thus making Teemo's Blinding Dart useless. Finally, Yorick can use his ghouls to safely detonate Noxious Traps in a safe distance, thus denying Teemo lane and map control.
- In mid-late game, a Spell Shield ( Shroud of Darkness, Black Shield, or ) can help with clearing Noxious Traps.

A camp to get away from it all even your clothesStan Grossfeld / BOSTON GLOBE PHOTO
Pete Wilson plays golf at Abbotts Glen Clothing-Optional Inn and Campground.
WEST HALIFAX Ask the guests at Abbotts Glen Clothing-Optional Inn and Campground, and they would tell you there are many advantages to golfing naked no overpriced golf shirts, no uneven tans, and, as guest Pete Wilson puts it, You feel the wind and the warmth of the sun.
The downside? Theres no place to put your scorecard.
But such small inconveniences do not deter the people, or naturists, who flock to this 55-acre resort to golf, fly-fish, play Frisbee, and swim. Those standard camp activities take on a special quality, they say, when you add nudity to the equation.
Everything is better naked, Wilson says.
Nude tourism, also known as nakationing, is on the rise in the United States. Clothes-optional vacations have doubled since 2010, according to a 2013 survey taken by MMGY Global, a travel marketing firm. Its a $440 million-a-year business at 250 resorts nationwide, according to the American Association of Nude Recreation.
What makes it so attractive depends on whom you ask, but here, at least, the typical stereotypes do not apply. The Abbotts screen every guest to make sure theyre coming here for the right reasons. Voyeurs and swingers are definitely not welcomed.
The guests are more Thoreau than yahoo, mostly empty nesters eager to relax where nobody will judge them or, perhaps more important, judge their bodies.
Everyones on an equal ground here, says Renee Duchene of Albany, N.Y. I have wide hips, I have a belly, theres no judgment. Its freeing. Its relaxing, and youre not hiding anything.
On one recent day, Duchene was passing the time fly fishing in the North River wearing just a hat and sunglasses. The trout were not biting, but she was having fun anyway.
People assume nudism is swinging or sexual in some way, she says.
Wilson, her partner, finishes the thought for her: Its in no way, shape, or form like that, he says. Duchene nods her head in agreement.
Another guest, Andy Elder, 65, of Hillsdale, N.Y., a retired packaging engineer who was practicing yoga by standing on his head, echoed the sentiment.
To me, its just a natural way to be, says Elder. Why would you want to wear clothing on a beautiful, gorgeous day when the sun is shining?
The emphasis at Abbotts Glen is more about relaxation than competition.
We have lots and lots of guests that are in very stressful jobs, says Amy Abbott. You come through the gates, your cellphones dont work here. Once you drop your clothes, you undress to de-stress. Its a back-to-the-garden mentality.
The Abbotts say they are having their best year; business is up over 10 percent from last year. But initially, they had problems here in the foothills of the Green Mountains.
We got a new selectman in the town of Halifax and he was kind of a Bible-thumping guy, says Abbott. As soon as he found out about us he said, Oh my God, weve got to close down that place, and they tried to pass an antinudity law.
But neighbors rallied around them. A nearby farmer confirmed they were invisible neighbors.
He said, Well, I drive by on my tractor, I drive real slow, but I aint seen nothing yet, and Im trying, Abbott says.
The selectman eventually had a change of heart.
The cops come in just to say hello on occasion, she says. Weve never had an incident. Naturists are by nature pretty mellow. We asked two people not to come back because they were here for the wrong reasons. In 10 years, thats a pretty good record.
Intrusions at this remote site just miles from the Massachusetts border are rare. One Sunday afternoon, two fishermen came around the bend in the river and started smiling.
I said, Oh, you can fish here, but youre going to drop your laundry and pay us, says Abbott. The following weekend, one of the guys called and said, Hey I really want to fish nude. He came the next weekend.
But there is no pressure to wear only your birthday suit. Some women wear sarongs, some men wear open dress shirts with tails that cover their privates on a peek-a-boo basis.
Nakedness is the great equalizer, guests here say. There are no status symbols, no Armani and Versace.
I think when you lose the cover of clothing, you gain the need to be human, to socialize again, to be nicer to people, says an unnamed visitor from Massachusetts.
He gestures at another guest.
When Im talking to him, hes nude. I dont know if hes a doctor or a trash collector, so when you remove that status from people, it just becomes real.
Nearby, Liz Fournier of Massachusetts floated blissfully in an inner tube in the pond.
Its comfortable, its protected, and its safe, she says. Naked bodies are naked bodies. It doesnt matter what they look like. Theres no reason to be self-conscious.
A few naturists refused to give their names because of what they say is a double standard. A software engineer feared repercussions at his job.
There are so many different factions of society demanding tolerance these days, he says, but when it comes to nudity, it seems like thats the hardest one to get acceptance.MORE IN World/National BusinessWASHINGTON Long-term U.S. Full StoryNEW YORK Its not just the musical Hairspray that will air live on NBC tonight.

Jet Vortex Cone Dust Collector, 1.5HP 1PH 115/230V, 2-Micron Canister Kit, Model DC-1100VX-CK
This went together easily. I hooked it up to my 3HP SawStop and a Dewalt Planer with gates. It really does the job. I plan to expand it to my router and band saw which are on the other side of the shop. I expect that to work as well using gates to make sure the suction is only on one tool at a time.
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Good value in a dust collector
Nimble 1
I bought this item 4-5 years ago and it worked well. I have a small woodworking shop and used it as a portable unit for about 2 years. It has two 4" ports and good suction. Took a while to learn how best to clean the catch bag and replace it. There are some steps which make it easier and after some experience it became fairly easy.
It was a little hard to move it around due to the small wheels and flimsy stand, but it worked for my needs.
I then added a dust separator using the vacumm lid they sell for a garbage cans (Item #143290). This made it a stationary machine but really increased its utility and power by making it a two stage system. This became an awesome shop vac system. If you buy this I highly recommend adding a trash can lid separator with a garbage can right away. It makes this machine twice as good and you will not have to empty the bag very often as over 90% of your sawdust will be captured in the garbage can which is very easy to empty. The bag and three legged stand are flimsy but if you don't empty it often that is not much of an issue. I clean it out about once a year versus every 2-3 months.
All in all I would buy it again, but buy a lid separator immediatly. My needs are growing and I will move up to a larger two stage unit in the next year or so, but this unit has served a fairly active shop well for about 5 years. It is a good value and still has all the power when I bought it 5 years ago.
As advertised
Vancouver, WA
Arrived promptly, in good condition and as advertised. The three legs supporting the bag and filter are too lightweight, would be better if designed with a fourth leg. With limited initial use, it appears to operate well and provide adequate suction and chip removal for table saw and band saw, using one tool at a time.

About Me
Occasional User
This is the first Dust contoller I have owned and I did a lot of research. I think it is great value for the money and does an excellent job.
I wish Jet had done a better job of identifying the screws, nuts and washers into seperate marked bags. Several times I used the wrong ones in the wrong hole and it took me double the time to errect it because of my errors.
I would also be usuful if they you that to try it out you need to buy some 4" and 2" duct work and some clamps to connect it to a machine to at least test it. I have a local store within 2 miles of my house so it was easy for me to get it. That said I am very pleased with it and it is well worth the extra to get a Vortex machine over a traditional vacuum system or shop vacs.
excellent product
I have never owned a dust collector and purchased this one after much research a couple months ago. I have been very impressed with this dust collector. It works flawlessly, is quiet, has great suction (can easily handle two tools) and keeps the shop amazingly clean. I spent an entire day working in the shop planing, jointing, and cutting rough cut wood and the collector collected over 30 gallons of dust. I later swept the floor and had 2 cups of dust left over that I am sure escaped the top of my table saw. Never during the day did I even observe any dust floating in the air! The filter also remained completely clean. Great product!

Freedom Newspapers
Conventional wisdom holds that in the first round of presidential elections, French voters vote with their hearts and typically winnow the field of candidates to the two highest vote-getters.
This often swells the vote counts for fringe candidates and explains the odd outcome in 2002, when perennial anti-immigrant fringe candidate Jean-Marie Le Pen came in second, or that Arlette Laguiller of the Workers Struggle Party, which calls for a ban on all layoffs by profit-making companies, grabbed 6 percent of the vote.
Then in the final round, conventional wisdom says French voters revert to sensibleness and vote with their heads, or their pocketbooks. Thus in 2002 Jacques Chirac of the right-of-center (slightly left-of-center by American standards) Union for a Popular Movement, crushed Le Pen in the final voting.
But in first-round voting last week, French voters confounded conventional wisdom by giving most of their votes to the two most-serious candidates, Nicolas Sarkozy of the UPM, who captured 31 percent, and Segolene Royal of the Socialist Party, who polled about 25 percent.
Francois Bayrou of the Union for French Democracy, generally viewed as a centrist, who some polls had expected to beat Royal, pulled 18.4 percent.
More than 84 percent of French voters participated, about 13 percent more than five years ago.
What accounts for this massive turnout and this new seriousness early on?
Perhaps it is because this is the first group of candidates who came of age after World War II and represent a post-Cold War mentality.
Perhaps it is France's deep economic malaise — France's GDP per person has fallen to No. 17 in the world today from seventh 25 years ago — or the ongoing difficulty of assimilating millions of Muslim immigrants.
Perhaps it is an awareness that power shifts in the wake of the end of the Cold War are ushering in a new era in European and French politics.
Sarkozy is the most interesting harbinger of a new era in France. In a country noted for anti-Americanism, he expresses unadulterated admiration for the United States, especially for its work ethic and free-market policies. As interior minister he was in charge of dealing with immigrant riots a couple of years ago and did so decisively, even calling some of the rioters "scum."
Although his party is titular heir to the Gaullist tradition — roughly defined as the conviction that France, as leader of Europe, must play a significant role in world affairs — he is more interested in domestic reform than the world stage.
Sarkozy is leading in the polls for the May 6 runoff at this point, although things could change. Bayrou is holding off on his endorsement, and both Sarkozy and Royal are courting Bayrou and the 6.8 million voters who backed him in the first round. Sarkozy is threatening a hostile takeover bid of Bayrou's party if he does not back the presidential frontrunner.
In the meantime, Royal's party is split and pessimistic, reports the Financial Times; she is not likely to be able to forge a more centrist coalition.
If elected, Sarkozy may be able to do less than he envisions, considering how deeply entrenched restrictive labor laws and long-term unaffordable welfare-state benefits are in French culture.
Whoever wins, however, France is a country whose political class is in transition, given the strengthening center and disarray on the left. It could well be headed on a new path.

Laurier professors take an in-depth look at Ukraine crisis
Apr 1/14| For Immediate Release
Darryl Dee, Associate Professor
Lori Chalmers Morrison, Acting Director
WATERLOO On Thursday, April 3, Laurier history professors will be holding a teach-in that looks beyond the headlines on the current crisis in Ukraine and Crimea.
Students and the general public will get the historical perspective they need to understand this challenging, complicated and critical event.
"To make sense of the current crisis we have to understand that Ukraine's borders have been in constant flux for centuries, said Associate Professor Leonard Friesen, an expert on twentieth-century Russian history. In some ways, Ukraine has a more legitimate claim on Moscow than on Crimea."
"China now sees itself as a superpower and it wishes to play a starring role on the world stage. The Ukraine crisis exposes the deep contradictions in China's foreign policy, said Associate Professor Blaine Chiasson, a historian of modern China.
According to Associate Professor Kevin Spooner, author of an award-winning book on Canadian peacekeeping, "Canada's approach to the world and international organizations like the United Nations has changed rapidly over the past 20 years. The Ukraine crisis is a test of Canada's new place in the global community."
The teach-in is open to everyone and will take place in the Peters Building, room P2027 on Lauriers Waterloo campus from 3:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. on April 3.
For more information, contact Associate Professor Darryl Dee at email@example.com or 519-884-0710 ext. 3699.

About the brewery
New Holland Brewing Co. opened its brewery in 1997 as a two-man operation and has since become a thriving microbrewery. Located in Holland, Michigan, just east of Lake Michigan, New Holland now has two brewing locations and a brewpub. Man, does that state up north have some great breweries or what?
New Holland also began distilling spirits in 2005, and now offers whiskey, gin, vodka, rum and "hopquila," but the brewery is probably best known for its big, bold-flavored beers like Dragon's Milk Oak Barrel Ale (a dangerously tasty 10 percent American stout) and the Mad Hatter IPA series.
About the beer
New Holland Brewing Co.'s Full Circle kolsch is German-style beer with a light body and a golden (slightly cloudy) color. An initial bite gives way to an easily sessionable beer with very light hops and a clean malt finish. During these uncomfortably hot days — Dear Santa, all I want for Christmas is no more 100-degree weather — the Full Circle is perfect. It's refreshing and best served cold, but it's not the watery rubbish you get from American light beers. (Although those beers were enjoyable in a thirst-quenching way during our recent hot-as-hell spell.) The Full Circle carries more flavor — mostly hints of a slightly sweeter graininess — and calories than light beers, but can be just as effervescent and refreshing. If you're looking for a beer to cool you down, this is a solid option.

BRS bulk calcium chloride By Chuck on 10/7/2016Chuck would recommend this product to a friendI have always had good luck with BRS 2 part dosing.
Excellent By Jim on 5/29/2016Jim would recommend this product to a friendEasy to mix without yellow residue of some other brand's bulk supplement
No Nonsense, Quality Calcium Supplement By Patrick on 4/23/2016Patrick would recommend this product to a friendThis stuff is great. Quality, pure calcium supplement with free shipping? Done deal. I'm set on calcium dosing for a long, long time.
NOTE: The sizing of these products can be a bit confusing (or at least it was to me), so let me clarify. The directions say to mix one cup of crystals (8 fl. oz) to one gallon of water. The "gallon" product above does NOT make only one gallon of solution. It is called the "gallon" because it contains 128oz of crystals. That works out to be 16 cups of crystals. Translation: the "gallon" product will actually make around 16 gallons of solution. Hope that helps!
best two part By Dave on 4/15/2016Dave would recommend this product to a friendnever trusted Dow flakes, or drive way melt, this is a good deal.
Works as advertised By S S56 on 3/1/2016S S56 would recommend this product to a friendI have come to find out that my calcium among other things was low in my instant ocean salt. I couldn't understand why the tank had low calcium until I tested my "fresh" saltwater. Now dosing with this and maintaining with BRS kalk my numbers are great and consistent.
1st time user By Maxxingout on 2/19/2016Maxxingout would recommend this product to a friendMy calcium has started to drop due to the 11 sps pcs I've got in my tank. Decided to give the BRS Calcium Chloride a try. I ended up using the BRS calculator and was pretty close to what I needed. The CC dissolves very easily and worked out great for me. Would def buy this again.
good quality By jim on 1/17/2016jim would recommend this product to a friendGood quality dissolves thoroughly no residue on the bottom of the Bottle
Great Calcium By Jason on 1/1/2016Jason would recommend this product to a friendBeen using this for 3 years and it is the only calcium supplement I will ever use. Mixes clear in minutes and is very consistent. Great product and my corals grow like weeds.
good prouduct By Mike on 11/22/2015Mike would recommend this product to a friendThis the best cal I have used. Dissolves perfectly.
Just as advertised By Tmpope on 11/1/2015Tmpope would recommend this product to a friendMy calcium level was extremely low and with this product it was perfect in 3 days.

America is Not Exceptional
Rules are meant to be broken says the rabble rouser, the rebel with a cause, the tens of thousands following in the footsteps of provocateur Andrew Breitbart. The rule of the land had mirrored that of the illusion–we were the best. It is gone–and may never be repaired.
Conservative thought-leader Thomas Sowell warned years ago that America is not exempt from the rules that govern all past nation-states. He went further to question that America may have in fact already fallen without us being aware of it. There will be no sudden end. Rather, as those who compare us to ancient Rome have said, we are in the midst of a slow drift to destruction.
I've explained to hundreds of activists across the country that one man can't destroy what makes America America. Turns out, America was destroyed by tens of millions who voted for cheap, small-minded politics and policies that are still killing jobs as exhibited by the worst post-election dip in the Dow Jones Industrial average since 1948. Blame is also shared by millions more who decided to stay home on Election Day, apathetic about the course of the country.
One of the few things academics find consensus on in regards to politics is that America is a center-right country. Or whatever–I'm not sure what that means anymore. Also, most agree that exceptionalism isn't unbreakable.
Exceptionalism cannot be reduced to a bumper sticker, nor can we wish it into existence. America cannot point to its historical record to make the case that it exists now. There is no evidence that America is in fact, exceptional. It troubles me to write such words.
The cliche, "this is the most important election of our lifetimes," rang true because it was in fact true. America's future is filled with dramatic crossroads and consequences that both sides will shout about. It'll be emotional and feel the very same way this election felt. Leaders across the political spectrum are ready to proclaim an issue that strikes a chord with the American people is the next big assault on liberty. It'll be half true. And it won't matter.
Understand this much, future generations will not live in an as free America as I was born in. It's not just improbability, it's an impossibility.
There is a problem with the electorate.
Don't misunderstand me: Republicans have a demographic problem and Democrats are headed for more than a mathematical rounding error that will eventually leave our country looking a lot like the failed state of California. The electorate itself is destitute, rejects personal responsibility as a standard to governing their lives, and equates commonly shared problems to the federal government "providing for the common good."
Objective fiscal sanity could not find a simple majority, even with Death's cold breathe on our necks.
I cannot tell you what it will look like, but it's coming. I will continue to fight. I will try saving a generation from the burden of the flawed thinking passed down to us. When asked why I continue to fight when I cannot win, I will reply: I fight to fight.
There is nothing exceptional about fighting; but it is noble, it is good, and God still graces His people with miracles.
What is known: We proved ourselves to be the rule, not the exception.

Luck vs. Skill
Comments posted to "The Role of Luck and Skill in Investing," an interview with Michael Mauboussin, in the September 2013 AAII Journal.
I've struggled with how much of the returns in my system are "luck" and how much are "skill." Only the most egocentric would assign a lot of skill, and those folks are riding for a fall.
That said, I chair a group system, called TtP-S, which deals with very high quality dividend-paying stocks in a blended investing and trading model. It follows a set of tight rules. I found myself assessing the relevance of Mr. Mauboussin's theories as compared to our own investing system, and lots of spotlights (and a few alarm bells) went on. Also, we cover a bunch of his principles pretty well too.
I've pointed my group to this article and offered an investment book as a prize for the best posted analysis relating this article to what we do.
Thanks for an excellent article! Luck? Skill? Mean
—Peter Asprey from California
I enjoyed this thought-provoking article. But I disagree with the last statement, in which Mauboussin states that having success on one's first investment is a detriment to learning which factors are important to increase the possibility of a good outcome.
I was part of a team developing a new chemical process. Our first experiment was a partial, if not perfect, success; and then we had six failures in a row. It is true that you can learn more from your failures than your successes. But without that first success, we might have given up on believing that it could be done. We just had to figure out what parameters were right in the first experiment that weren't right in the next six attempts.
Similarly, in the world of investing if you have to start with six losses in a row, it might make you think a lot about what went wrong or it just might make you place all your investable money in a savings account and never invest again. Whether it is skill or luck, a little encouragement is not a bad thing. There will be plenty of learning opportunities for skill development, if one examines the losing investments against the insights of other investors, analyzes what appears to have gone awry and searches out what actions appear to have contributed to success. Yes, luck confuses the process, but experience can sharpen our understanding of what increases the probability of success.

Growth at a Reasonable Price Is No Myth
Comment posted to "Debunking Stock Investing Myths," by Charles Rotblut, CFA, in the September 2013 AAII Journal.
I have found that a "growth at a reasonable price" strategy both lowers risk (by bailing from or not selecting way above average price-earnings ratio stocks in the first place), enhances returns and generally leads one to emphasize mid caps (at a greater allocation to this area than total market weights) over the long term. Academic research, the performance of the AAII Stock Investor Pro screens, and my own 20-plus years of performance all validate this.
Likewise, pursuit of high dividends from slow or no growth companies is a proven loser's game. Better to target companies with growing earnings and dividends, even if the dividends are modest.

Correlations' Role in Diversification
Comment posted to "Diversification's Role as a Risk-Reduction Tool," an interview with Richard Bernstein, in the September 2013 AAII Journal.
I read the interview with Richard Bernstein and thought it was quite good for the most part. However, I felt the article fell short on two issues:
It failed to point out the fact that correlations across asset classes tend to increase in declining markets, which makes diversification harder to accomplish.
It also tended to ignore correlations of the S&P 500 index with alternative investment vehicles (e.g., managed futures, long/short strategies, real estate), which in many cases show lower correlations and therefore provide greater div

Sill vs luck
From history I learn both from Bill Gates and Warren Buffett that luck and appropriate time were in place, not much skill. L.Pasteur stated luck favours a prepared mind. Although we place excessive stress on skill development, it is only marginally leads to profit as investing. Luck may be explained as a mysterious force either good or bad strikes us completely urn fathomable. We can even say some divine force not accountable to skills department. So, we are left with the doubt how do we develop luck, is it possible at all. Skills, we do and we can. Einstein also seems to have a prepared mind favoured by luck, as no one figured out he had skills.

What is the time window for making a Price Adjustment (PA) ?
In-store, it is 14 days from the date on your receipt. For online orders, it is 14 days from when your order ships

If you have already reached the limit, it will not let you click "submit order" (unlike Victoria's Secret).

When using a reward, is the value of the reward divided up among the items in your purchase?
Yes they are, regardless of whether you order online or use in-store. It's best to use a reward on items you are sure you're going to keep. One way to go would be to buy what you want online, confirm you want to keep it and then go to the store and return/rebuy what you want with your reward. YMMV.[/LEFT]

Happy New Year to you all! New Year, New Thread
Ahem....I just opened an Express CC!
Happy New Year to you all! New Year, New Thread
About cold jackets - I did a hike in Bryce Canyon, UT in 4 degree weather in a North Face systems jacket (1 layer is water repellant and wind blocking, zip-in layer is fleece/insulating) and ice cleats and it was awesomely warm. I think if you looked in the ski/snowboard women's categories and saw a style you liked that looked warm and reviewed well, you'd be just fine. I shop altrec.com, sierratradingpost, moosejaw and a few others. Also, Land's End has down 20 degree jackets (short and long) on super sale still. I just got mine and it molts, but I like it for the post-coupon price ($35). Red's def right about a jacket that covers the bum ... if your toosh runs cold, get something long enough to cover it!
Sounds fantastic! Very similar to what we're doing - the glow of the tree, DH cooking up some filet, sipping wine and nibblin' on cheese. When it gets so busy at the holidays... that's our kinda New Year's - time to slow down.
Thanks for the heads-up on the clutches, got a bunch to replenish my gifting stash.
Good question... North Face is more of an outdoor adventure company - so their jackets will have details like pit vents you can unzip if you're getting too hot (skiing, hiking, etc), clips for your lift ticket/pass or your mittens, and a waist gaiter to keep snow from coming up inside your jacket. Land's End is based out of WI, and I would say they're more your everyday cold climate than summiting a mountain or glacier visit (which I have done). They will lack the details you might want for the slopes, but may be more fashion conscious and definitely more wallet friendly on sale... For Land's End, if you don't like what comes in the mail, you can return it to any Sears (but no exchanges). Land's End [landsend.com] link. I'm sure a lot of people have different opinions on it.
No problem. Love sharing ideas and deals!

June 5, 2013 —
In separate incidents, Monticello police arrested three men recently for theft with the help of video evidence. In the first case, Monticello police arrested Isaiah Roberts, 22, and Keron Neils, 20, both of Brooklyn, for stealing a donation jar from a fast food establishment.
Police say that on May 28, the duo stole the donation jar from the front counter of Wendy's Restaurant on Broadway at about 7 p.m. The donation jar was for the collection of funds for the Dave Thomas Foundation to help fund adoption and foster care programs.
The donation jar contained approximately $40. Then on June 1, the two men returned to the restaurant and were recognized by employees, who called police. Monticello officers reviewed the surveillance footage of the incident and confirmed that Roberts and Neils were responsible for the larceny of the donation jar, and they were then arrested. The defendants were taken to the Monticello police lockup.
In the other incident, Monticello police arrested Anthony Morelli, 39, of Monticello on May 31. A few days earlier, police received a complaint from a Woodbourne woman that her purse had been stolen from a parked vehicle on Landfield Avenue after the car window had been smashed out.
The woman was then alerted that a credit card from her stolen purse had been used at a Village of Monticello convenience store. Police investigated and were able to obtain surveillance footage from that convenience store which showed Morelli using the stolen credit card to buy $93.53 of cigarettes.
Morelli was arraigned before Village of Monticello justice Josephine Finn and remanded to the Sullivan County Jail without bail pending further court action.
Morelli is currently on parole in New York State until June 2015 for a prior conviction of felony criminal possession of forged instrument.

The Sox may be down, but we're definitely not out. Evaluations.
I know that a lot of people, players specifically, use the phrase "tip [our] cap". I think that it is appropriate to use that phrase in this situation, as a Red Sox fan. Everyone really has to tip their cap to the Rays. Think about it. From the worst team-in history- to leading a series, against the Boston Red Sox nonetheless, 2-1. It's unbelievable, but really, congratulations to them for getting this far.

Hey, nice blog.
Ellsbury's out tonight. Crisp is in. Drew moving up to the lead off spot. Cash in for Tek of course with Wakefield on the mound.
It is definately not close to over. Wakefield could easily pitch a gem tonight.
Go Sox!

Happy New Year!
2010! It sounds so weird. January. That means baseball is closer. Pitchers and catchers report in February…I can do this. There is a lot I am looking forward to in this new year and the new baseball season coming up. Here are the top 5 things I want to see this year:
#5) Andre Ethier, my love ♥♥♥
If I am not mistaken, the Yankees will play the Dodgers this year during interleague play. I HAVE to see that. As many of you know, Andre is my favorite non-Yankee player. It will be Heaven for me to watch Andre and his Dodgers play my Yanks….
#4) Melky baby…
If I can just see Melky a little this year, that would be great. Watching baseball and not seeing Melky is too painful. In 2010, I want to see my Leche, even if that means watching Braves games.
#3) Javier!!!
I know I will see a whole lot of Javy this season. But I want to see him be very successful. So successful, that they sign him to a nice, long contract so I don't have to worry about losing him again. I thought Javier was good in '04 for the Yanks, except for that whole meltdown thing…but let's not go there! If CC, A.J., and Andy can do what they did last year again, and if you incorporate into that rotation a dominant Javier Vazquez, the rotation will be pretty darn beast.
#2) Matt Holliday as a Yankee!!!
Ow-ow! He is smokin'!!! In case you didn't know, I am obsessed with Matt Holliday. He's so gorgeous, and that's a fact. And as of right now, this beautiful human being is still a free agent! The Yankees need a left fielder. I WANT HIM! Sure, he is expensive. BUT THE YANKEES CAN AFFORD HIM! Holliday would be a perfect fit for the Yankees. Imagine having him him the lineup. IMAGINE HIM IN A YANKEE UNIFORM!!! Oh my God. I'd pass out. But it's worth it. God, Brian Cashman, whoever will listen to me, please bring me Matt Holliday. PLEASE.
#1) #28.
This one is self-explanatory.🙂
Here's to the new year, 2010. I hope gives us all joy, cherished memories, and a great season for the team we love.
GO YANKEES!!! I can't wait to see you boys again!
8 Comments
I have to admit. Andre Either is cute🙂 Good luck getting Matt Holliday. I'm sure he can bring great things for the Yankees when he joins with you guys. Please check out my latest entry.
Great season from a Yankees' perspective. I disagree with Hideki Matsui leaving the team. I think they can still do it this season!
Matthew Tang
Wow!! Thanks for putting our incredible Andre at the beginning of your entry. He is truly awesome.
Happy New Year. Since last year was the year of the Yankees, maybe my Dodgers have a chance in 2010!! Please be safe.
I want to see the top 2 as well, and someone needs to wack some sense into Cashman. Jane knows where she lives, I will go ask her.😉
Holliday would be a good pick up for the Yankees… but I don't think you'll get #28, not if my Phillies are going to do it again…LOL
Happy New Year
Outside the Phillies Looking In
happy new year to you VA! itd be easier for you to see the Braves if they still played on TBS last night. WHen I was younger I would always switch back between the Pirate games and the Braves games, mostly because the Braves of the 90's were so exciting
Happy New Year, Virginia! Yes, we're almost in February. Just one more month to go until pitchers and catchers. We can do it! It sounds like Holliday is about to sign with the Cardinals, but you'll still have Vazquez!
Happy New Year, although I think the recent blowout in Florida is not spelling great news for the Yankees come fall…
lets hope it was just a tweak in the matrix…

When it comes to Valentine's Day meals, every newspaper, magazine, website and TV station has its own array of suggestions for what you should make to show how much you love your sweetheart. On this very site, you'll find an array of links that will help you plan an elegant and wonderful romantic feast.
Personally, this will be the first Valentine's Day in my adult life I've spent solo, so I'll probably have some wings and fries and drown my (non) sorrows in a pint or three of good local brew.
But for those of you with the happy burden of having to plan a Valentine's feast, don't let the constraints of convention trap you into pulling a number at the seafood counter and waiting to pay through the nose for a lobster. I love lobster, but I've never understood how putting something that looks like a giant bug on a plate and hacking it open shows your love.
One of my favorite Valentine's meals is also one of the simplest dishes I've ever created. Start with a generous handful of pine nuts (pignola) and toast them carefully in a nonstick skillet. Stir them frequently and do not leave them unattended, as the line between "yummy toasted" and "nasty burnt" is about 10 seconds wide. When they're toasty, dump them into a small bowl and set them aside.
Take a dozen sea scallops and dip one side of each of them in flour. Melt some butter in the skillet and put the scallops flour-side down. Cook them over medium heat until the flour is lightly browned. Turn them and allow about 30 seconds to finish the cooking, then remove them to a plate.
Throw a generous amount of baby spinach (or baby wild greens if you're feeling adventurous) in the skillet and splash a bit of white wine over them. Cook until they're wilted, sprinkle some good balsamic vinegar atop them and stir in the pine nuts. Serve the scallops on a base of greens.
It's the perfect dish because it's got one fairly expensive ingredient, requires multiple cooking techniques and looks like it took far more effort than was actually required. It's also fairly bulletproof, so even rookie cooks can be assured of a fairly high degree of success.

Meals From Memory

If you're with someone with whom you share some history, pay attention to that when you plan your romantic repast. For my first wife and me, fried chicken was one of those dishes. When we got married, I was working for a security company that agreed to give me a whole two days off for a honeymoon. We were living in Houston, and could just barely afford a honeymoon in Galveston at the grand old Flagship Hotel, now gone thanks to Hurricane Ike.
We left Houston after I got off work at 9 p.m., and realized neither of us had had dinner. On the way down, we stopped at a truck stop that was a favorite of ours on night patrols when she'd ride with me and picked up a box of the awesome fried chicken that the night shift clerk made to feed hungry truckers. We got to our room, checked in and spent a happy hour sitting on the balcony over the water, eating chicken and tossing the bones to what we imagined were ravenous sharks below.
You won't find fried chicken on many Valentine's Day menus, but the fact is that it always brought back memories for us, and that's what counts.
One of my friends and his partner met working at a chili cookoff, and to this day they take turns making each other "The Ultimate Romantic Chili Dinner."

Makin' Whoopie

Of course, we all know that whatever meal you make, the dessert is the really important part. Usually, that needs to involve chocolate of some sort. If you're baking-challenged, or just want to come up with something your sweetie has most likely never had and will enjoy immensely, try Cranberry Island Whoopie Pies. They're Maine's official state dessert, and consist usually of two rich chocolate cakes with a lightly sweet, dense cream filling in the middle.
There's even a Valentine's assortment of heart-shaped Whoopie Pies, with three each of Chambord, Champagne, rich chocolate and traditional (made with organic vanilla).
Explore all their offerings, and you'll find yourself ordering things all year long!

Must-See Video: Taiwanese Animators Take on the Racist Redskins
ICTMN Staff
The Taiwanese company Next Media Animation, which skyrocketed to pop culture cult status with its infamous 2009 Tiger Woods video, has turned its sights on Dan Snyder's NFL Washington Redskins. The resulting animated video, titled "Redskins name is racist against Native Americans and a disgrace to NFL," is, well, something that must be seen to be believed. NMA made some minor noise in Indian country last year with a Super Bowl preview cartoon, but the new anti-Redskins effort takes things to an entirely new level.
Here is the video.

The Redskins name is not
The Redskins name is not racist. I'm half American native and remember playing with my acyion figures with indians being the "good guys". Later on I lived in the US and was pleasently surprised to find out that a "Redskin" was considered an American icon for victory. That idea was strengthen when Doug Williams won the super bowl. I like to think think the name was coined from the Boston tea party since the team was originally from that city. I don't think it's offrensive to native americans, quite the contrary.
The video shown is not
The video shown is not accurate to reality, social or racial, prevalent in the US. Anyone who has lived there can attest to that.
You misspelled Taiwanese.

Why do you guys call
Why do you guys call yourselves indians? You are not from india... Youre offending true indians by calling yourselves indians.
@Lynn Jenkinson Thank you for
@Lynn Jenkinson Thank you for your comment! The article has been corrected.
This video was more racist
This video was more racist than anything I think I have ever seen. Hope the name changers don't believe this is compelling evidence, or worse that others will buy into such racist propaganda.
The Redskins name is racist
The Redskins name is racist and the history behind the name is indeed a disgrace to the NFL. The NFL WA Redskins new name could be the "The True Americans", where they proudly represent the culture, past, present, and future of Native Americans with proud images.
How about we flip the new NFL
How about we flip the new NFL's Washington Redskins name to "Elitism Schism, Harvard Grads think they own D.C.-ism". Seriously, how about it?
Why does America have all
Why does America have all this PC, but yet in the Nations capitol is there a racist name! Honor the treaties if they want to honor something!!!!

Virus/Malware Prevention for Personally Owned Computers
Virus and malware prevention tips and strategies
Anti-Virus Software
Install an anti-virus program and keep it up to date. Antivirus options are available at antivirus.uwm.edu.
Software Updates
Many types of malware takes advantage of published vulnerabilities in software applications and your operating systems files. Vendors frequently publish updates for their products.
- Keep your Operating System up to date. Follow your operating system software instructions.
- Update non operating system software as well. It has become critical to patch, not just the operating system, but applications as well. Of particular importance are applications that are commonly leveraged by browsers such as Flash and Acrobat Reader. Most updates can be either downloaded from the manufacturer's website or directly from the application using an update function built in to the software.
Browser Selection
Using Firefox with some security focused add-on's can help you control scripts, pop-ups and sidebar advertisements on websites.
- No Script allows the user to control JavaScript and other web functionality programming which, while it adds functionality to websites, can also be used for malicious purposes.
- Flashblock allows the user to choose when to run flash animations, some of which could be malicious. http://flashblock.mozdev.org/
- AdBlock blocks many advertisements commonly displayed on webpages. Most of these are simply annoying, but some are used to attempt to deliver malware.
Computer Permissions on Windows Computers
"Administrator" rights on your computer should be used only when necessary. Browsing the internet while logged in with lower privileges can help reduce your malware risks. A Windows application called "dropmyrights" can be used to reduce the privileges used by common web applications.
Avoiding Email-Borne Viruses
In addition to some of the precautions above, avoiding email viruses can also be impacted by being aware of how to avoid them:
- Avoid opening an email attachment file if you don't know EXACTLY what it is, do not know the person who sent it or were not expecting it (even if you do know the person who sent it). This rule especially applies to files with ".vbs", ".pif", ".scr", ".bat" and ".exe" extensions and all files with a double extension suffix (e.g., ".bat.exe").
- The safest practice is simply to delete ANY unknown files you're sent upon receipt. Please do not overburden email servers by sending each suspected virus to IT staff. Simply delete suspicious emails and attachments.
- If these steps seem too extreme, write back to the person who sent it to you and ask them what it is. (If that person's system is infected with a worm/virus, they may not even know they're sending out the file!) If the attachment is valid, they'll tell you what it is and what it does.
- Scan ALL attachments for viruses before opening the file.

Going that extra mile
Americans are choosing maintenance and repairs over purchasing new vehicles
By Jennifer Hadley 02/12/2009
I'm all for stimulating the economy. Go economy! Three cheers for the economy! Indeed, I'm more than happy to do my meager part to help in this effort by going out to eat, seeing movies and shopping (to the pathetic extent I can afford to). But I'm neither willing nor able to help out the economy by purchasing a new car, and from the looks of things, I'm not alone.
Last week's report showing that car sales in January were at their worst levels since 1982 seems to point to a trend in consumers holding onto their cars longer. Instead of trading up — as we Californians especially were wont to do every few years — industry experts (I'm not claiming to be one myself) predict that most Americans will opt to hold onto their current cars longer, choosing maintenance and repairs over purchasing new vehicles.
As I will certainly be holding onto the Xterra for at least the next several years, I decided I had better make sure I'm doing everything I can to keep that baby running. The only problem with this is that I have absolutely no knowledge of how cars work, even though I was a moderately successful car salesperson many years ago. Scary, right? So, I turned to my favorite source of car advice, brothers Tom and Ray Magliozzi, hosts of "Car Talk" (10 a.m. Sundays on NPR). These guys definitely seem to know what they're talking about, and they make me laugh to boot, something I think we all need these days, almost as much as California needs need an economic miracle.
Sure enough, when I went to the "Car Talk" Web site, cartalk.com, right there on the homepage is a link to 14 tips for keeping your car running forever. Most of the tips were pretty obvious, even to a simpleton like me (change your oil regularly, take care of problems when they arise, pay attention to warning lights, have regular maintenance done and drive your car gently). Two were just plain ridiculous: (Find a mechanic you trust? Puh-leaze. I've got sucker written all over me. Don't drive? Hello, this is Southern California!). But there were several tips I found pretty insightful.
Tom and Ray (aka Click and Clack, the Tappet Brothers) advise against making unneeded short trips. Apparently the car never gets properly warmed up, so it doesn't operate at its optimum level. There's a technical explanation on the site as to why this is, but frankly, I don't care. To me, this just means that if I can't walk to the store for my lottery ticket, I'll just have to forgo it that day.
The second tip that hadn't occurred to me was to unload extra weight from my car. Apparently the extra weight puts pressure on the engine, much as extra weight puts stress on human organs. So I guess that means I shouldn't be driving around with a dining room table in my back seat. Got it. Unfortunately for me, Tom and Ray also suggest that I could remove the unused ski rack affixed to the top of the Xterra, reducing drag. But there's just no way I'm about to about to open that can of worms; I figure I'll just lose five pounds instead.
The last tip that I hadn't considered was to discuss my long-term plans with my mechanic — meaning that since I plan to drive this car until my dying days, I should let my mechanic know. Tom and Ray think that if your mechanic knows you plan to keep the car for the long haul, they'll spend more time looking at the big picture, rather than just the task at hand, like changing the oil. I'm not sure I buy this, but maybe I will attempt to hold such a discussion — should I ever actually find my very own mechanic.
So there you have it: My grand plan to keep my car running forever. Or at the very least keep it running until one of those lotto tickets pays off, in which case I'll hire a driver immediately. That way, I'll be able to fully enjoy listening to Car Talk every Sunday without being distracted by other drivers, or trying to remember where I'm going … which, incidentally, will be out to eat or shop, or maybe even to buy a new car to help stimulate our economy.
