Sharon Tapscott has withdrawn from the mayoral race after being nominated by Merimbula councillor Kristy McBain for the position of deputy mayor.
Mrs Tapscott informed the Magnet of her decision yesterday (Wednesday) after she had given her nomination further thought over the long weekend.
"Kristy McBain nominated me on the basis of gender equality. I've since asked Kristy to tear up that nomination. The more I get into my role as a councillor, the more I realise the work it involves. The job of just being a councillor will be enough for me to try and understand for the first year," she said.
Mrs Tapscott also wants to ensure she has the time she needs to get Eden's needs onto council's radar.
"I want to get things done on the ground for Eden people, the people who elected me. Whilst I initially thought having a gender balance at the mayoral/deputy mayor level was important, I don't think it is now and I think whether you are male or female is irrelevant to the job. I still feel there are people better qualified and with much more experience than me to undertake these important positions," she said.
Mrs Tapscott, who has become well known across the Bega Valley for her efforts to restore services to Pambula Hospital since 2008 through the Save Our Hospital Inc group, polled a massive 885 primary votes at the Eden polling booth alone at the council poll on September 8. That result helped her secure a position as a councillor on primary votes alone, a feat also achieved by long-term council stalwart Tony Allen.
The positions of mayor and deputy mayor will be decided this Friday (October 5) at an extraordinary council meeting. Confirmed candidates for mayor include Tony Allen, Michael Britten and Russell Fitzpatrick.
Russell Fitzpatrick and Liz Seckold are also possible contenders for the deputy mayoral position.
Nominations to the general manager Peter Tegart must be received in writing prior to the meeting. With every candidate requiring support from an elected councillor to nominate, there are limits to how many can be nominated. When there are more than two candidates nominated for mayor, the candidate with the lowest number of votes is excluded before votes are taken again until there two candidates remain. Both the mayoral and deputy mayor positions are voted on by elected councillors every year.

Toyota iQ N-Collection by Neuhaus
Filed under: Dining, Luxury Cars & Autos
Seems like they can make anything out of chocolate these days. All they need is the proper motivation. But this is something else entirely: a chocolate car. Well, almost.
What you're looking at is not a car made of chocolate, but a special edition car made to honor one of Europe's premier chocolatiers. The Toyota iQ N-Collection was made in collaboration with Belgium's Neuhaus. It features special paint schemes – either dark brown or cream butter – with correspondingly delicious interiors.
It may be a decidedly different take on the little city car than that taken by Aston Martin with its Cygnet, but it's also even rarer: only 700 examples will be produced, only available in Germany – it is, after all, the land of chocolate – at 14,600 euros (about $19,500), representing a 1700 euro premium over base.

ACAPULCO, Mexico - Several hundred civilians have taken up arms in two towns in a southwestern Mexico state and are arresting people suspected of crimes and imposing a curfew, leading authorities to promise to reinforce security forces in the area.
People wearing ski masks or bandanas and carrying small arms this week began manning checkpoints on roads into the municipalities of Ayutla de los Libres and Teconoapa in Guerrero state's Costa Chica area about 75 miles (120 kilometers) southeast of the Pacific resort of Acapulco. Leaders said they were acting against crime and insecurity.
Guerrero Gov. Angel Aguirre Rivero responded Friday by announcing that security in the region would be bolstered by sending in Mexican soldiers and marines and federal and state police officers.
People in the area said about 800 residents were participating in the armed groups acting as unofficial police. The vigilantes ordered a 10 p.m. curfew for the two towns and are looking for suspected criminals. Schools have suspended classes.
In Ayutla, Romualdo Remigio Cantu, one of the coordinators for the civic group Union of Peoples and Social Organizations of Guerrero, said that more than 30 people had been arrested. The detainees are accused of drug trafficking, extortion and kidnapping, he said.
A man in a ski mask at one roadblock told reporters that townspeople had to act against criminals.
"They kill, extort, rape. You do not know if they are drug dealers, thugs, who want to grab everything," he said. "We want to return peace and tranquility to the entire population. Only the people can restore order."

Will DC Comics' New Gay POC Hero Go Over The Top?
By Arturo R. García
DC Comics has added to the buzz surrounding its' relaunch with the announcement that Teen Titans will feature a gay POC character starting with the series' third issue.
On one hand, this is something to be happy for, and Titans artist Brett Booth has already expressed his support for gay marriage and gay rights in discussing the new character, Miguel Jose Barragan, a.k.a. Bunker. But, as Booth wrote on his blog, he's aware that he and series writer Scott Lobdell are wading into a complicated issue.
We wanted to show an interesting character who's [sic] homosexuality is part of him, not something that's hidden. Sure they are gay people who you wouldn't know are gay right off the bat, but there are others who are a more flamboyant, and we thought it would be nice to actually see them portrayed in comics. Did we go over the top, I don't think so. I wanted you to know he might be gay as soon as you see him. Our TT is partly about diversity of ANY kind, its about all kinds of teens getting together to help each other. It is a very difficult line to walk, will he be as I've read in some of the comments 'fruity'? Not that I'm aware of. Will he be more effeminate than what we've seen before, the 'typical' gay male comic character, yes. Does it scare the shit out of me that I might inadvertently piss off the group I want to reflect in a positive way, you're damn straight (pun intended!)
Booth also described other gay superheroes as looking and acting "like regular heterosexuals … they just happen to have sex with people of their own gender, under the covers and in the dark." He did not specify which characters he was observing, but Booth's view of what constitutes "regular" behavior is problematic, as The Mary Sue's Christopher Holden points out:
Booth starts out his quote by implying that out "gay people who you wouldn't know are gay right off the bat" are "hiding" their sexuality, without acknowledging that we live in a society that assumes straight until proven gay, where the attempts of gay men and women to only bring up their sexuality when it is actually relevant to a conversation, as when talking about significant others, and not when it isn't, as when buying a shirt (a luxury enjoyed by all straight people), is interpreted as "hiding" by those they interact with. Perhaps Booth is self-consciously as worried as he needs to be.
Booth is also not accounting for one of comics' big limitations as a medium: everything is rendered in still frames, so, while we can see heroes like Obsidian, Batwoman, Renee Montoya, Apollo and The Midnighter, we don't get their voices and body language. So there's nothing marking their sexuality other than what the creative team chooses to show us. It's far trickier to use different kind of characterization techniques – vocal inflection, gestures, etc. – in a comic than in, say, a cartoon or a live-action setting.
Bunker will not be DC's first "out" gay hero. In 1988, the company introduced Extraño, a character who would refer to himself as "auntie" and was played for laughs more often than not. The character was even infected with HIV by an "AIDS vampire" before his series, The New Guardians, was canceled.
It will also be interesting to see how Bunker's backstory is addressed. On his blog, Booth mentioned this description from Lobdell:
He was raised in a very small Mexican village called El Chilar. He was very loved by his family and the village as well — and they were as accepting of his homosexuality as they were to his super powers when they first manifested. To that end he grew up in an angst-free environment. He was born out of the closet and so he has a very refreshing outlook on life.
Given that description, it's possible that Bunker's powers – as yet unnamed, but which seem to involve Miguel being able to create protective, brick-like shells not unlike Marvel Comics' Armor – might factor into his acceptance in the kind of community that, as several commenters at sites like Bleeding Cool have mentioned, is usually highly religious and homophobic.
That kind of intolerance was highlighted in a study released last year by Mexico's National Council to Prevent Discrimination, which was created in 2003 to enforce a national anti-discrimination law passed by the National Congress that same year.
According to the report, which is accessible as a PDF in both English and Spanish, 52 percent of all lesbian, gay or bisexual respondents reported discrimination as the main problem for their community. Spread across the socio-economic spectrum, more than half of respondents who identified their status as "low" or "very low" – no income levels were provided – said discrimination was still their primary obstacle. The police was cited as the primary source of that discrimination, followed by members of respondents' church or congregations, which underscores concerns that, even for a comic-book character, Miguel's background might be too fantastical.
But on the other hand, as blogger Son of Baldwin said in an e-mail interview with Racialicious Monday, such a portrayal could also be a nice change of pace for readers.
"As a gay person of color, I actually don't have a problem with the backstory," he wrote. "The aspect that would seem cliche to me is if he was the typical gay teen who endured homophobia in his home and community. Besides, it would function as a nice bit of wish fulfillment for all of those gay teens out there. And it opens up a LOT of story potential for the character to encounter homophobia in his new community as a gay teen who never imagined he should feel shame about who he is."
Titans writer Scott Lobdell was the creator who outed Marvel Comics' Jean-Paul Baubier, aka Northstar in Alpha Flight (Vol. 1) #106, published in 1992. Writer/artist John Byrne, who created Alpha Flight, has said that he had always conceived of the character as a gay male, but was not allowed to mention it openly by both the Comics Code Authority and the company's Editor-in-Chief, Jim Shooter.
In July 2007, Lobdell told Comic Book Resources that he linked the revelation of Northstar's sexuality to his characterization up to that point – an arrogant speedster with a short fuse:
While I certainly don't think all closeted gay men are angry, I'm speaking specifically about Jean Paul. He used his anger to keep people away from him, from getting close, from discovering who he was. If you disliked him for being an arrogant prick, then you were not going to be able to get close enough to learn who he really was. If you didn't like him for who he pretended to be, then you wouldn't be able to judge him for who he was.
However, while praising Northstar's coming out, AfterElton said Lobdell's story – where Jean-Paul defends his adopted daughter, who is infected with HIV, from the bereaved superhuman father of an AIDS victim – "falls into so-bad-it's-good territory." It also pointed out that Lobdell left Alpha Flight before the story was even published. Lobdell told CBR Northstar's sexuality was not behind his departure, instead citing "distinctly different views" between himself and incoming editor Rob Tokar.
At this point, editorial support doesn't seem to be an issue for Bunker. DC co-publisher Dan DiDio had told The Advocate in July that the company planned to introduce a new LGBT character; of all the changes involved in DC's revamped continuity, the sexualities of Batwoman, Apollo and The Midnighter have been left untouched; and at least one more upcoming series, Voodoo, will feature a bisexual creole protagonist, though there's already concerns in the blogging community about how her career as a stripper will be presented.
On his blog, Booth does at least offer one positive sign for Miguel's development: he won't be the comic relief. But what he does become, and if he sticks around if/when DC reorganizes its' continuity again in the figure, are still very much up in the air.

Just to mention, Voodoo isn't creole. She's not human. She's an alien ex-slave working with her enslaving race and stripping in her slave-identifying uniform. At least, traditionally – reboot will rework as it will.

Insulation has come a long way. These days you can stuff your walls with everything from recycled blue jeans to soy-based foam to keep temps comfortable year-round. But if you live in an older home with insulation installed before you moved in, understanding what pads your walls is essential to keeping your family safe-especially if your spring to-do list includes cleaning the attic or renovating it. Here's what you need to know about three common old-house insulations. -Natalie Gingerich Mackenzie

What it is: A lightweight, shiny mineral that resembles mica flakes.
How it works: Vermiculite absorbs water and is fire resistant, giving it myriad uses, from fluffing up garden soil to soundproofing floors.

Attic Becomes A Suite Retreat Upstairs
Attic suite
Sometimes in the search for more living space there's no place to look but up. When Alan Koch bought this 1933 cottage in Portland, Oregon, he knew he'd be finishing the 600-square-foot attic sooner rather than later. And as a work-at-home educational and marketing consultant, Alan hankered for a light, bright office where he could spread out. By tapping the upstairs, he figured he could carve out just such a space, as well as a comfortable master suite, reserving downstairs bedrooms for guests and TV viewing.
Working with designer Kevin Fischer, he expanded the attic space by 100 square feet with a gabled dormer and, serving as his own general contractor, hired out HVAC and roof work while tackling demo and finish details himself.8 Tips for Remodeling Your Laundry Room

Where to Put It
For lots of us, the basement is just fine. But many homeowners who can spare the space and expense prefer to have the laundry closer to bedrooms or the kitchen. Here's what to factor in before making a move.
On an upper floor
Pros: Proximity to where dirty clothes are shed lessens schlepping distance with hampers. Can tap into existing plumbing lines if in or near a bathroom.
Cons: Noise and vibration require extra insulation and a motion-arresting pad. Leaks can damage first-floor rooms.Quick & Easy Kitchen Upgrades to Refresh Any Space

Paint Kitchen Cabinets
Your cavelike kitchen feels that way because the dark cabinets have sucked all the light out of the room. But a brighter makeover doesn't necessarily mean replacing those gloomy boxes with all-new cabinets. As long as the frames and doors are structurally sound, you can clean them up and brush on some new paint-and within a weekend take that kitchen from dreary to sunny. As This Old House senior technical editor Mark Powers shows on the following pages, all you need is some strong cleaner, sandpaper, a paintbrush, and a little elbow grease. What you don't need is a whole lot of money, as the transformation will cost you a fraction of even the cheapest new cabinets.

1. Old Feel, New Height
The O'Learys set about turning a first-floor one-story former bedroom wing into an expansive new kitchen, bumping up the room's roof to double height for a soaring ceiling, which is lined with tongue-and-groove boards resembling 19th-century planks. New oak beams act as structural cross-ties. Clerestory windows flood the kitchen with light.
The center island is topped with the old chestnut boards salvaged from the living room floor. Early-20th-century finishes include flat-panel cabinet doors and bin-pull hardware.

Summer is a time for light, flavourful and—above all—easy food. I rarely cook with recipes in the summer, preferring instead to improvise barbecue marinades and salads. My favourite summer salads are usually also improvised—inspired by whatever I just bought at the market or is in my fridge.
The once little-known quinoa was all over the news a few years ago, touted as a new "superfood" because it is a high-protein whole grain. I took to it immediately for its other qualities: ease of cooking, flavour, and versatility. Earlier in the summer I was eating my lunch outside with a colleague whose fresh, brightly-coloured salad looked far more appealing than my lunch. I did two things: I ate half of her salad and then went home and made my own version that very week. Here is what I made but you can substitute anything you like.
Summer Quinoa Salad
The library has many cookbooks with quinoa recipes.
Fresh green beans are another favourite salad addition. At a friend's home recently, the host served a simple salad composed of steamed green beans, halved mission figs, quickly sauteed shitaake mushrooms and chopped green onions served over greens and dressed with oil, wine vinegar, salt and pepper. The flavours were the perfect start to a summer dinner with friends. If you want more inspiration for salads containing green beans, I recommend taking a look at Food Gawker.
I just happened to eat lunch with the same quinoa-salad colleague today and guess what she had for lunch? Yup. A salad. With lettuce, kale and sugar snap peas from her garden. Guess what I'm making tomorrow.

CHARLOTTE – Employees of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg school system are getting a raise.
The school board approved the $1.2 billion budget Tuesday night, a spending plan that comes in about $33 million more than last year's.
They approved a 3 percent raise for all CMS employees, including board members, and money for additional ninth grade teachers and technical facilitators. For the last few years, the district did not talk raises, instead focused on budget cuts and layoffs.
"We've spent the past five years throwing things overboard trying to save the system as a whole and finally, finally tonight, we can start the slow process of rebuilding our system," said school board member Eric Davis, who along with Rhonda Lennon and Tim Morgan declined to accept the raise.
It's been four years since teachers saw their last raise and new superintendent Dr. Heath Morrison says the bump in pay serve as an opportunity to let employees know how much the district values them.
Teachers will see the pay increase starting next month.

Creepiest Political Ads Ever Coming To College Campuses
Thanks to Heather for the videos!
These creepy anti-Obamacare ads are popping up all over college campuses -- and in your nightmares -- in a desperate last-minute push in the war over making healthcare more affordable, and available for more Americans who otherwise wouldn't have coverage.
As the Republican dream of repealing the Affordable Heathcare Act turns to dust, the war over the law's future shifts from Capitol Hill to college campuses. Why? Because they believe that they can bribe young people into opting out with cheap trinkets like beer koozies that read "opt out," pizza and literature containing their propaganda against the health care law.
Generation Opportunity, a Virginia-based group that is part of a coalition of right-wing organizations with financial ties to billionaire businessmen Charles and David Koch, will launch a six-figure campaign aimed at convincing young people to "opt-out" of the Obamacare exchanges. Later this month, the group will begin a tour of 20 college campuses, where they plan to set up shop alongside pro-Obamacare organizations such as Enroll America that are working to sign people up for the insurance exchanges.
Generation Opportunity intends to host events at college football tailgate parties festivals, where "brand ambassadors" (read: hot young people) will pass out beer koozies that read, "opt out," pizza and literature about the health care law. Some events may have impromptu dance parties with DJ's, complete with games of Cornhole and competitions for prizes, organizers said.
"What we're trying to communicate is, 'No, you're actually not required to buy health insurance,'" Generation Opportunity President Evan Feinberg told Yahoo News in an interview about the campaign. "You might have to pay a fine, but that's going to be cheaper for you and better for you."
The conservative group's main goal is to sabotage Obamacare by convincing healthy young people to not enroll in the law's health insurance exchanges, thus making it difficult to subsidize elderly people in the pools, And they want students to sign a pledge not get insurance plans set up by the law.

Guayakí's MARKET-DRIVEN-RESTORATION business model directly links our customer's purchases to our partner farming communities in the South American Atlantic Rainforests. Guayakí's partners sustainably harvest organic yerba mate from rainforest grown cultivations and reforestation projects, generating a renewable income stream which enables these communities to improve their lives and restore their lands. Learn more here.
Enlighten Mint has a minty flavor with a touch of honey flavor, and an earthy note from the yerba mate. It's easy drinking and clean tasting, and not too sweet.
The bottled mate drinks are more 'juicy' and 'earthy' and come in glass bottles. The cans have a lighter and brighter flavor. The glass bottled Empower Mint is more pepper minty while the Enlighten Mint can has more of a spearmint honey flavor.
NO. But, they are under minimal pressure so the cans maintain integrity when shipped.
Gway-uh-kee Yer-bah Mah-tay
Not in the traditional sense, but many people experience energy from drinking mate as well as clarity of mind. Each can has 150 mg of caffeine, which is equivalent to a cup of coffee.
Mate has the strength of coffee, the health benefits of tea, and the euphoria of chocolate. Yerba mate is made from the naturally caffeinated and nourishing leaves of the celebrated South American rainforest holly tree (Ilex paraguariensis). Learn more here: http://guayaki.com/mate/130/What-is-Yerba-Mate%3F.html
Guayaki Enlighten Mint
Guayakí Yerba Mate is a high energy infusion made from the leaves of the celebrated South American mate tree. For centuries, South America's Aché Guayakí tribe have sipped yerba mate daily from a traditional gourd for its powerful rejuvenative effects. These rainforest people find tremendous invigoration, focus and nourishment in yerba mate and revere it as the "drink of the gods". Guayakí's mission is to steward and restore 200,000 acres of South American Atlantic Rainforest and create over 1000 living wage jobs by 2020 by leveraging our Market Driven Restoration Model.
*****5 Stars: BevNET Review: With their Lemon Elation variety, which won BevNETs Best of 2009 Awards for Best New Tea and Best Packaging Design, Guayaki has a tough act to follow. Fortunately, what they've created with their Enlighten Mint flavor is spot on, blending just the right amounts of mate, peppermint, sugar, and honey. Its an extremely easy product to drink, with a smooth flavor that's clean from start to finish. And of course, this being mate, it has 150 mg of natural caffeine per can but is still low in calories (112 per can). Packaging is a nice continuation of what they developed for their Lemon Elation product, with small visual differentiators (a green accent color and a female face) made to their vibrant looking can design. It somehow manages to feel hip and authentic, giving it a leg up on Guayakis bottled products. USDA Organic and Fair Trade certifications are prominently displayed, which certainly bolsters this product's premium vibe. Overall, a really well executed product from Guayaki.
THE EXAMINER.COM http://www.examiner.com/x-281-Caffeine-Examiner~y2010m5d10-Guayakis-Fantastic-Energy-drink-is-a-real-EnlightenMint Guayaki's Fantastic Energy drink is a real EnlightenMint Leave it to Guayaki to not only make Yerba Made not only a delicious caffeinated treat, but to make it very hip and healthy as well. They have been making Mint Yerba Mate tea for years now, but have just released it as an energy drink with some beautiful packaging, sweetened to perfection and lightly lifts spirits as well as the culture at large as well. This company has created an empire around creating and sustaining the life that surrounds the Ache Guayaki tribe, who are the ones who produce Yerba Mate. This company has a mission to steward and restore some 200,000 acres of rain forest and help create 1000 jobs. Every time you buy a Guayaki product, you work towards helping maintain a way of life, plus you know you are getting some very healthy stuff - full of organic high quality ingredients. Taste: 10 It was very very hard to stop drinking more than one of them. While I liked their other Yerba Mate energy drink, Lemon Elation, I found this to be even better! The strong honey flavor blended with the flavor of real mint for a very unique experience. Usually when companies say that something is mint, they mean it has that strong fakey peppermint that leaves a menthol breath freshness. Not the case here. This has real mint, like the kind I can find in my garden. This seemed to be a very natural fit for the mate tea - and is without doubt the easiest to consume cold drink I have had in years. I could easily finish off three or four of these in one sitting if they were around. Buzz/Nutrition: 9 Of course everything is Organic, as well as KSA certified Orthodox Kosher. This is about as good for your body as a drink could get. Yerba Mate has tons of health benefits, including fighting bad breath, gastrointestinal problems, weight loss and of course sweet sweet caffeinated energy. There is a minimal amount of ingredients in here, mostly mate, peppermint, sugar, and honey. There is 150 mg of natural caffeine per can, which is a bit less that you can find in your regular energy drinks. While 150mg is not very much, It is if you can't stop at just 1 can. If this had a stronger dose of caffeine this would be the perfect energy drink. As it is, it is still pretty damn satisfying. Packaging: 9 This line of cans is a big step for Guayaki, a company which usually creates packaging with Olde Tyme lettering, crests, wreaths and flags. Instead of going for that crowd, the drinks make a radical departure, using very bold illustrations and bright colors - wise move. For this flavor they use a woman of indeterminate age holding up a juice box. My guess is this is supposed to be a gourd, the traditional device for drinking Mate out of. However, I can't help it, it looks more like a Capri Sun foil pouch than anything else. While not necessarily innovative, they have about as good an energy drink can possibly get!
The uplifting and nourishing choice of health-minded individuals, yerba mate boasts 24 vitamins and minerals, 15 amino acids and abundant antioxidants. Yerba mate is also known for its adaptogen-like qualities, which include reducing the effects of occasional stress. Of the six commonly used stimulants in the world, yerba mate, coffee, tea, kola nut, cocoa and guarana, yerba mate, with naturally occurring caffeine, triumphs as the most balanced, delivering both energy and nutrition.

SHIPPING is included on Domestic Orders only. Shipping is UPS GROUND ONLY, unless specifically noted in the "Add Note" section of My Cart.

(CRV will show up in shopping cart at check out.)
i saw that there was a discount on cases of mate and that shipping is free, so i went ahead and ordered myself a case of Enlighten Mint. Best decision I have made this year!! I love opening the fridge and having that delicious beverage lovingly stare back at me. I will be buying more, soon :)

I feel more refreshed and alive when I turn to Enlighten Mint instead of my usual morning Coffee. I haven't had coffee in months because of it - thanks so much for a great healthy alternative!

Yes, it's me again...I bought this for my son for Christmas as well! We live in Texas and the only place we can buy it at is Whole Foods. It ended up costing me less to my my son 2 cases online than driving to Whole Foods. All I know is all the products I bought my son for Christmas were his favorite presents! Of course, I get to drink them too and they are so fabulous! I should really thank iJustine because she is the one that advertised the product to make us want to buy it over a year ago...we have been regulars ever since.
I can't find a co-op in MN that sells the Enlighten Mint mate so I ordered it online. It was absolutely the best decision! I live far from where Guayaki is made and it was delivered in a timely fashion and I could NOT have been happier to have it! While I love all the of tea flavors, I tried mint a few months ago for the first time and I was reminded why I loved it so much immediately.
great product. I look forward everyday to the chilled yerba mate. makes me feel great and out tastes great. like I said great product.

Guayaki is the best company to deal with. They are easy to order from and have a great customer service. Also Yerba Mate is Great tasting and good for you !

I'm a big fan of Guayaki products, both in terms of the general benefits of Yerba Mate but also in their mission plan and the promotion of those elsewhere in this world who deserve recognition and respect for what they do. I love these canned teas because they are a bit more portable than the glass variety. My only suggestion is to have a lower sugar content or possibly a second option of "lightly sweetened" as I feel the 25-30 gms of sugar per can is a bit much. Other than that, keep up the great work and enjoy your Mate drinkin!
A refreshing take on the all the other drinks out there.

I regard this product as an energy drink that doesn't leave me unsettled like a cup of coffee normally does...and it doesn't keep me awake at nights. It also has one of the lowest sugar levels compared to ALL soft drinks on the market that I know of. Yet I don't consider this beverage a soft drink...more like an enhanced tea. I buy it primarily for an energy boost when I am on the road for a long time. It is a bonus that it tastes so good. I purchase it by the case online since it is cheaper than in the stores. Actually I buy all three flavors Guayaki currently produces (Lemon Elation and Revel Berry being the other two). They are all tasty, but mint is my favorite. I have been drinking Guayaki Yerba Mate loose leaf tea for years, and still do. Their canned beverages are new to me. Glad I ordered them.

So glad to have found this product! And now I can order it and ship it to friends and family too. A great, natural product that gets to people in a timely manner. Thank you!!

Product 1430/2179
Learning to trust someone enough to break down hard, fast limits is complicated- but fun!
Robert owns Nicole by mutual consent. She would do absolutely anything to please him- except for the one thing he really wants. His submissive's aversion to needles is worrisome in more ways than he cares to admit. Bringing others into the relationship proves to be only a temporary fix. Not even the love of his sweet submissive can break down the barrier that's come between them.
Trust and patience can only last so long... can he push this limit and force her to face her fear before it's too late?
My wife stood just inside the front door when I got home. A worn, lavender leather collar with a shiny metal heart clasp encircled her neck. She handed me her leash and bowed her head respectfully. I'd given her the lead the previous Christmas as a symbol of my love.
The scent of Wisteria perfume rose to my nostrils. Her damp hair smelled faintly of coconut. A simple tortoise-shell clip adorned the back of her hair. I removed it and stared at her blonde curls as they cascaded down her back. She wore no makeup. That's how I liked her and she knew it, au natural. Her toes sparkled-black with silver glitter.
She knelt, with her arms by her sides, awaiting my instructions. My cock stirred with desire.
"Where's Mary?"
"The bedroom, Sir."
My hand slipped through the loop I'd added to the end of the leash and pulled her up to me. I planted my lips against hers which tasted of salt and cotton candy lip-gloss. She melted against me, her nails stroking my ass.
"Not too hard, darling. That got you in trouble last week, remember?"
Nicole had dominant traits. I could control them, but when it came to her dominating other women, I chose not to.
I dragged her towards the bedroom door. Not too hard but enough to convey my control. Her willingness to please was evident by the dreamy look in her eyes.
Mary was on our bed with her hands tied to the end of the bed frame, a spreader bar holding her feet apart and a leash around her neck. Her ass stared me right in the face. Mmm, just my cup of tea.
"Hello, Mary. Nice to see you like this."
A giggle escaped her pouty lips.
"Hey, Robert. I can't wait to spend some time with you and Nicole. Your wife is a hottie. I've been in a BDSM relationship before, just to let ya know. I'm no newbie. Throw out the vanilla and bring on the thirty-one flavors."
"You know our safe-word?"
"Yes, I do -- purple. What should I call you?"
"Sir will be fine. I will call you Mary. Nicole is always darling. That will make our communication clear. Undress me, darling."
My sex-pot of a wife knelt on the floor, once again, and reached up to undo my pants. I went commando on a daily basis so there were no undergarments to remove but she did pull down my jeans and remove my shoes. I pulled my polo shirt up over my head with a twist and threw it to the floor.
Mary had short-black hair, just long enough for me to pull. Her plump ass was the type that's fun to squeeze and slap. It was creamy white. I imagined it marked up with whip lashes scissored back and forth. Her legs were long and she had curves in all the right places.
My whips lay out on a table near the end of the bed. A small, wrapped gift box was nestled between them.
"What's this?"
"That, Sir, is a small present. Open it if you like. It's from me, to you -- to be used on her."

A Question of Oversight
Public agency First 5 Kern contracted with the Applied Research Center at California State University, Bakersfield to evaluate First 5's effectiveness in the community. During the research, money from First 5, which is a company that "doles out money from a state tobacco tax" to recipients like schools, was used to pay for items including trips and cars. Some of these gifts went to the researchers, who concluded that "First 5 Kern is making a substantive and significant difference" in people's lives.

Sumarry of 21 first pages with pictures : http://forums.heroesofnewerth.com/sh...=235233&page=1
:Bottle: invis rune, use invis rune, quickly use 1 :Bottle: charge, you will remain invisible
You can disassemble a :HackNSlash: to make a :FrostwolfsSkull: and :GeometersBane: (put item into your stash and : Shift + Left click on the item)
You can sell item anywhere : Ctrl + Shift + right click on the item
can jungle @ lvl1 buying a :FlyingCourier:, 1 counter :WardOfSight: and 2 :ManaPotion:, @ 50 sec pull the yellow camp, and before the creep run back, use elemental, kill the double stack and go pull the lane
Use :HomecomingStone:, then right click on item in your stash, left click on the :HomecomingStone: you just used. It will replace the :HomecomingStone:
If you are / and being ganked, spin / Stone Hide and then use :HomecomingStone:
If enemy have :Nullstone: you can still combo him as . Just click on yourself while casting chuck.
You can avoid projectiles with Aluna if you cast deja-vu, quickly spawn the shade and teleport back while the projectile is flying at you.
If you are and you ulti catapult, you will get your health without damaging catapult.
, , ulti have ministuns
, and can pull/push you to stop TP-channeling even though you're magic immune.
lighting stuff (and ulti) reveals wards or invis heros. You can pull the nearest creepspot to the river, hit them with lightning and kill the :WardOfSight: if you have an ally with you.
Use shiver / Eyes to block creep spawns
If you get an attack modifier like :FrostwolfsSkull: on :Vind: / , it applies to everyone when you ulti.
:TabletOfCommand: cancel channeling spells (like / ulti)
As , you can posthaste to your bird when it's invisible without breaking the invis.
You can buy complete :Steamboots: from the sideshop by buying an :ApprenticesRobe:
You can toggle your :RingOfTheTeacher:, so only allied heroes get the armour buff. If you buff all allies, all the creeps also have extra armour, which means you're indirectly pushing the lane.
ultimate is PHYSICAL. :ShrunkenHead: does not help, but :VoidTalisman: does!
The charges of :NullfireBlade:, as well as Electrician's ultimate can be used for more things than just slowing enemies. Use it to dispell buffs and debuffs ! kill summon units like malpha
fire shield can debuff slows such as not storm
can do >700 physical damage early game with his healing wave to an enemy that is surrounded by allied creeps (great counter to spin)
is a very strong counter to a as he can push back with an auto-attack when he is spinning.
A lot of self-cast items (:ShrunkenHead:, :AssassinShroud do not break channeling abilities. You can use :ShrunkenHead: during ulti, :AssassinShroud: during ulti, etc.
Double clicking usable items will cast them on yourself like :
:TabletOfCommand: will push yourself in the direction you are facing
:HomecomingStone: will tp you to the pool
:Portalkey: will tp you in direction of the pool
You should build :chal: + :Lifetube: on a lot of strength heroes. It allows you to spam your spells (harass your enemy more) and stay in lane longer! The tube can be used for :HelmOfTheBlackLegio: later on.
shield is very useful late game. 12 armour and slowing attacking units! Always cast it on your carry, you can keep multiple shields up at the same time.
Empath's essence link does a lot of damage early game. A lot of people underestimate this!
ultimate has only 10 seconds cooldown with staff of the master (furthermore, it give you just the stats you need on ). Swap heroes all the time
is a very versatile hero thanks to his toss:
* Do a stun+toss combo for extra magic damage
* Toss your allied tank/stunner such as or into the enemy to initiate.
* Toss an enemy towards you allies who are standing at the tower.
matraxe (the ultimate) gains strength over time while you're near enemy heroes! Buy a :Portalkey:, blink on the enemy team to initiate, stun, activate your ultimate, (arcane shield if necessary), and detonate the shield when you're starting to take damage.
buy :Portalkey: -> use :Portalkey: to get close to the enemy -> use silence + ulti -> use shellsurf -> use take cover (-> port back to safety)
You can sacrifice bird for elementals for easy lvl 1 kongor (with the right setup)
With range hero, attack enemy hero, when the projectile is sent, move your hero, then right click enemy hero to attack again, repeat...
When people try to juke you by running into the fog, just alt+a the fog area where they might go, so if you JUST catch up you will hit the target.
:Steamboots: are not just the "carryboots", they work on a lot of heroes. Ability to toggle between the attribute boosts is invaluable and learning how to use it is quite the step.
agility for using :Bottle:, int when you need more mana / regen mana etc...
Early game, you need 2 autoattack to kill ranged creep before tower kill him
With use your spell to harass by manually using it (not right click auto), it doesn't draw creep agro
Use :WhisperingHelm: to dominate a creep and use him to pull ancients. This is especially useful with heroes like or since they have huge splash and can clear it very early
:StaffOfTheMaster: can be built with glowstone + any two different 10 stats items + recipe
dispells all buffs on himself when spinning, if using ghost marchers, activate them after spin.
:GeometersBane: also dispells buffs
toxicity stops/lowers regen
Silencing will reveal him
As you will apply orb effect to the target you charge, exemple : if you charge legionnaire who is on the other side of the map, the second you apply charge on him you will also apply your orb effect.
if you got :AssassinShroud:, you can :HomecomingStone: / :PostHaste: and use :AssassinShroud: to be invis after porting.
If you use mummies near the cliff in the river and denie the one next to the cliff you can climb. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZdUqlKhqS-8
You can stack with rocket, since creeps are NOT blocked by sight, but rather proximity. You just have to shoot and hit the creeps with the very edge of the damage, so the gadget produced in the middle of the AoE isn't close enough to block creeps.
Always stack before pulling creeps. Unstacked, the pull might deny one creep and will push the lane, whereas stacked it will deny a whole wave and avoid pushing the lane and give less xp to enemy
Channeling ulti on does not break invis. So you can :AssassinShroud: and you will only be revealed once it goes off. (doesn't works with invis rune)
As a , you can use Fissure to block the creeps. It will make creeps take a very long detour (mostly near the river) and skip the first tower entirely.
As you can use Flurry to move away from opponent when affected by a very strong slowing effect, you can Flick a creep to escape fissure...
:FrostwolfsSkull: applies to a lot of spells (haunt, blast of lightning, moon beam, chain lightning, global silence, lightning storm, entangle, mojo, cocktail stun, terrifying charge, cold shoulder, rampage charge, the chains that bind, BH silence, BH ult, flick, chuck, panda ult, demonic pathogen, magikarp, power drain, snot, smitten, opposite charges, log-toss, HB dot, corrupted conduit, pyro and witch slayer ult, shrink, morph, pounce, showdown, hammer throw, puppeteers hold, puppet show, voodoo puppet, glacial blasts, fireball, flaming hammer, swift slashes, contagion, plague carrier, tongue tied, vampiric flight, consume, venomous leap, electrician purge)
putting frenzy on Malphas gives it 370 move speed and insane dps. A level 3 Malphas with frenzy can almost solo 2 towers.
turret pushes and damages through magic immunity. This makes swiftblade mad.
is an underrated and misplayed hero. He should always get a lot of mana and max out his SHIELD. That's because his shield does 50% more damage than mock, costs no money, and gives survivability..
With ... use your spells and as soon as possible, use cancel key, you will see if enemy react.
:ShrunkenHead: decreases in duration as you use it. The first time you use it, you have 10 seconds, the next time 9, ... to five seconds. If it's late game, you may want to consider selling your :ShrunkenHead: and getting a new one. That 2,000 gold you spend on getting a new one will probably be worth it for the extra 5 seconds of magic immunity.
You can queue commands with shift, exemple with :magn: use ulti, then shift :Portalkey: where you want to go. Your ulti will deal the max damage.
first spell give 800 clearvision, use it to avoid juke around trees
:FrostfieldPlate: give clearvision when used and don't break channeling spells
can move over anything if he grips someone on the other side.
can deal more damage with his ulti if you have more attack speed (exemple : activate :ElderParasite
If your getting chased as quick tap rot on/off to slow them
You can use items without being revealed while under the effect of :trea: Invis
ulti is undispellable, as is ult, Entangle and Cursed Ground
freeze skill reduces damage taken by 50% if cast on allies, use it on yourself before ulti
gets revealed if someone silence him, even if he was already invis
How to jungle with http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Mm-_...eature=related
How to triple stack http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUK4bcuuzdI
You can pull the big creep on the Hellbourne side (top left) at 22 or 52 sec to the lane
If you use a :Stormspirit: on yourself as , you are untuchable as your ult eats the enemy up.
You can select the wards from or make them target a certain enemy hero/tower.
You can counter ulti with by sleeping your ally and putting the spider to sleep when it attacks and waking your ally up.
How to refil :Bottle: with ? use showdown lvl4, use :HomecomingStone:, then you will be back with refil :Bottle: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0DLeC492oQ
:Lifetube: can be used in :ShamansHeaddress: instead of :TrinketOfRestoratio:TrinketOfRestoratio (but it cost more)

Some of this was actually helpful. Thanks
Summary of things people don't know
- How to play this game.
The alt + a to atack enemies at fog was a great aid. the rest i knew all
Maliken Bottle refill doesnt work because the sword is faster now, gladi only works with showdown lvl 4. you put a blacksmith icon to the point talking about engis turret.
otherwise, interesting read, even if i knew most of it. might go look for some more stuff to add.
You can free heroes from 's "Puppeteers Hold" ability by using Stormspirit, nullfire or a tablet of command in them. same goes for his "puppet show" but it can also be removed by killing the target that the affected hero is attacking (for example a creep)
Casting 's "Puppet show" ensures that the affected hero CAN NOT kill you untill the duration is over, unless they have summons or allready have a damage over time spell on you
's Spiderling (Ultimate) dies if she dies, therefore do not fear her ultimate if you can kill her fast enough( The list goes on)
Using 's "Mezmorize" spell on a friendly hero while an enemy spell or attack is midair can save his life if you time it correctly, once the spell/attack is "dodged" instantly tap "A / Order attack" and attack your ally to free him! (Scouts ultimate is probably the easiest one to dodge, or soulreapers "Judgement)
:Steamboots: Swapping steamboots from intelligence/Strength to agility while enemy attacks are midair can actually help you take less damage! (Dont do this in teamfights, do this while retreating from a towerdive / Lasthitting creeps)
Someone mentioned it earlier, but its so important i'll to say it myself. ALLWAYS swap steamboots to agi before taking a zip from your bottle, this will earn you 34 more mana and 40ish health
Feel free to use any of this info

hmmm, some few caveats and misinformation i think
stonehide and swift spin are magic immunity but physical stuns will still go through, ie. all pandas moves, dw ulti, rampage bash, pesti gore, etc.
FWS no longer applies to targets through skills, so boom dust doesnt apply, vindi ulti, and all tb's skills no longer apply along with all the ones stated.
some additions:
chuck can be easily cast to target self, and avoid nullstone proc, by double tapping chuck. this targets yourself.
You can not deny someone who is dieing from cursed ground. Although i have been told if there is also mojo or another DOT you can deny the hero. I dont know forsure though.
for the first second of succy mesmerize the target is magic immune.
