What's your number? You know, your tax rate for federal income tax purposes?
I know, you're thinking 20%, 30%, maybe even 35%. Far higher than Mitt Romney, right?
You probably pay much less than you think.
Most people think of their marginal tax rates when you ask them what they pay in tax. A marginal tax rate is the rate that you pay on the last dollar of income (in other words, the highest rate of tax that you pay). Our system is a progressive income tax system. That means we all pay the same rate at the bottom and the rate changes as income increases — but only on that income. Your actual tax rate is what you pay after all of the adjustments, credits and deductions and taking into consideration the progressive tax rates.
What exactly your "tax rate" is differs for International Accounting Standard purposes as it does for GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles). The press also uses it differently. And as you know from the blog, even tax professionals use it differently. The difference in those terms is huge and shows how complicated the discussion about tax rates, tax burden and tax reform can be.
For purposes of this article, I'm calculating tax rates as follows: the rate of total federal income tax you actually owe vs. your total income. Not your adjusted gross income (AGI). And not your taxable income. The Tax Foundation – which is an an excellent source of data — uses taxable income for its calculations, but since that income includes a number of variables, I'm choosing not to. The key is to keep the definition somewhat consistent so that it's really apples to apples. So, if you're playing along at home, here's what you need to know: on a 2012 federal form 1040, I'm using line 61 divided by line 22.
For 2010, Romney's big number is 13.9%. That's his tax rate for 2010 using income as reported on his federal income tax return ($21,661,344) divided by the tax due ($3,009,766). You can read all about his returns and check them out here.
Like Romney, I'm still on extension for 2011. But I checked out my draft returns today and we're sitting at about 16.8%, even though theoretically we're in a higher tax bracket. If you use the Tax Foundation's definition using taxable income, we'd be at 22%, about twice the rate for the average taxpayer. The Tax Foundation reported that, for 2009, the average rate for those with a positive tax liability, like my family, was 11.06%. That number does not include the 51% of households that are estimated by the Joint Committee on Taxation to have paid no federal income tax in 2009.
Before you start asking about my accounts in the Caymans, let me clue you in: There are none. No fancy tax tricks at all. Pretty basic, really. Family of five. Wages reported on a W-2. Schedule C (reporting a gain). Schedule D (reporting a gain). Some taxable interest. But then we figure in the deductions and credits. Home mortgage interest. Credit for local and state taxes paid. Child tax credit. The number whittles down pretty quickly.
Warren Buffett's rate is around 11% – but based on adjusted gross income and not gross income (I didn't have his gross income available). I don't love using AGI as a comparison point for this discussion because it includes adjustments to income which may lower your income — to me, those are "above the line" deductions and should be ignored just like itemized deductions because they are tax breaks. To be fair, Buffett probably is not claiming the most popular adjustments from income to adjusted taxable income such as student loan interest, IRA contributions or alimony (his first wife is deceased and his current wife is still, well, his current wife), so I suspect that number is pretty close to accurate.

Q:When I first bought this it was quite runny and liquid but in the past few days it has started turning more into a mousse. I have only had it for a week or two so was wondering if this is normal?Asked on 7/25/2015 by Lucy
1 answer
A:The texture of Enzymion shouldn't change to much when you have it, make sure to keep it out of extreme heat or cold. We use the bare minimum when it comes to preservatives, the level of preservatives we use ensures the product is kept fresh for that shelf lifeAnswered on 7/26/2015 by Alexander from Lush Direct
Q:How mattifying is this product for those who have extremely oily skin? Does this products cause breakouts?Asked on 7/14/2015 by M from Minneapolis, MN
1 answer
A:This will definitely keep your skin matte and probably the best for oily skin!Answered on 7/17/2015 by Anonymous
Q:I have oily skin. At work I am blotting oil off my shiny face every few hours or so. Does this product work for controlling oil and keeping my face matte all day or just for a while after I use it? I also have hormonal breakouts, but most of the time my skin is pretty clear. Does it do anything for blemishes or would another product be better?Asked on 3/8/2015 by Heather
3 answers
A:I had the same problem! I felt like oil was dripping from my face. I purchased this product and I love it. It really controlled my oil the first few days I used it. I also purchased the Dark Angel scrub these two products together have been the only thing that has worked for me. I wash my face 2 times a day and I use the moisturizer as a primer before putting on my makeup. Hope this helped.Answered on 7/4/2015 by JeanaJuice from Fresno, CA
A:Well my regimen concerning Lush products goes
as follows: Wash with Coalface morning/night with
a Clarisonic brush. Then I apply pure tea tree oil to blemishes
And just a little pure coconut oil to the rest of my face/neck.
A little goes a long way! I know it sounds crazy, but
somehow the oil fights you making oil on your face!
Hope that helps!

A:Enzymion's freshly squeezed fruit juices give combination or oily skin a matte finish. If your face is predominantly oily in your T-zone, Enzymion is the moisturizer for you! An incredible blend of astringent citrus fruits like pineapple, papaya and lemon, Enzymion mops up excess oils and literally cleanses your face of dead skin and debris built up throughout the day. You should be matte for a long, long time.Answered on 3/21/2015 by Alexander from LUSH Direct
Q:At the moment I use Let the Good Times Roll, Eau Roma Water, and Cosmetic Lad as my routine. I have very sensitive skin and mostly just acne on my forehead (slightly oily) and blackheads on my nose, but nowhere else.

A:If you find that you are still experiencing an overproduction of oil in the skin, it might be a good idea to swap it out for Enzymion. Enzymion is really great at zapping extra oil, so it may be what you are looking for!Answered on 2/13/2015 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct
A:Jake, I would recommend switching to this. I have the same issue with oily skin and it has helped tremendously. Leaves my skin with a light fresh non greasy feel all day long. I wear a hat for my job and sweat gets trapped there so I also have acne on my forehead sometimes and this helps keep the oil away and kind of acts as a barrier for me.Answered on 1/18/2015 by Shelby from Maryland
Q:Would this also help with blemishes, or would vanishing cream be the best choice?Asked on 12/3/2014 by pikachuu from United States

A:Hi there! Thanks for your question! Enzymion Moisturizer is great for If your face is predominantly oily in your T-zone, if not, Vanishing Cream works very well for acne-prone, oily skin as well, because of the amazing Witch Hazel cream!Answered on 1/2/2015 by Anonymous
A:For my skin, I found that the fruits in Enzymion actually act as an
exfoliant. So, i actually only use this every other day, or else I would
get blemishes.Answered on 12/4/2014 by Anonymous
Q:I LOVE the smells of your products but I always thought fragrance was a skin irritant. Is this correct? Thank youAsked on 5/27/2014 by Jo from Australia
3 answers
A:"Fragrance", as it is listed on products, can be made up of many perfumes, some of which some individuals may find more irritating than others. We use the finest essential oils to perfume our products, and only use synthetic fragrances where absolutely necessary. For example, there is no apple-scented essential oil so we use a synthetic version. Because the fragrances we use are centered around pure, natural oils, many people find our products to be easy on the skin where they have previously found others to be irritating.Answered on 9/23/2014 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct
A:I have super sensitive skin and Lush products have never bothered me. I think it's because their products are so plant-based.

Q:How long does this product normally last? And should this be used once a day, or twice?Asked on 2/1/2014 by Alexis from Georgia
4 answers
A:A little bit goes a long way with Enzymion so you can definitely expect it to last you for months depending on how much you are using, and how often you are using it. Whether you use it once or twice per day entirely depends on your skin's needs so it is best to experiment a little bit and see what suits you best!Answered on 3/21/2014 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct
A:Enzymion is a great product! I use it twice a day because I have oily, dry skin. I have been using it for months now and I still have a little less than half left! This moisturizer works great and lasts a long long time!

A:Enzymion and Vanishing Cream are both great choices, but Vanishing Cream would probably have the advantage in this case as it's a bit more gentle, and it contains lavender, which does a great job at balancing out the skin!Answered on 3/21/2014 by Brandy from LUSH

We always recommend consulting your physician to make sure that the ingredients are alright for you to use. I'm so sorry!Answered on 9/20/2013 by Laura C from LUSH Direct
A:Honestly, if you have a raw fruit allergy I wouldn't want you to put this
on your face. I think that you'd be more upset that your face was itchy and
raw even if it was helping you.Answered on 9/8/2013 by Anonymous
A:Dear shopper, enzymion is a great facial moisturizer! It smells like avocados but isn't overpowering at all. It is great for oily faces and doesn't make your skin dry out. I hope you try this product because it works well for me!

A:Well, if you're allergic to fresh fruit, this has fresh fruit in it. It might cause a reaction. All you can do is spot test and see what happens. The thing that helped my "acne" (turns out it was actually eczema) was going on a gluten-free diet. If you really want to try this, maybe you could get a sample or something to try?
Hope this helps

Sent from my iPadAnswered on 8/31/2013 by Anonymous
A:Unfortunately, Enzymion moisturizer does contain fresh fruit products so
you might want to do a test on the back of your hand to see if you'll have
an allergic reaction. If you don't react, you're good to go! If you do,
there are plenty of other moisturizers at Lush that don't contain fresh
fruit and will still help with your oily skin and acne (puberty is the
worst!). You can also try toners and face washes that will help keep your
skin healthy. You should definitely go to the Lush store and have them help
you out! Hope this helped.Answered on 8/30/2013 by Anonymous
Q:I currently use Vanishing, and although I love it, I was curious as to whether or not Enzymion might be better for acne-prone skin. I tend to clear up pretty well when I exfoliate regularly, so maybe the AHAs in Enzymion would be better?Asked on 6/6/2013 by Naomi-omi-omi
1 answer
A:Both moisturizers are good for acne-prone skin, but Enzymion is a really great option because of the AHAs from all of the fruit juices found in it, as well as other ingredients that clear off the skin of dirt and debris and regulate oil production.Answered on 10/2/2013 by Kendra M from LUSH Direct
Q:What is the difference between Enzymion Moisturizer and the Vanishing Cream? I already bought the Dark Angel Cleanser and it makes me skin feel velvety soft and clean, but I still need a good moisturizer to mattify my face. I don't have acne, just oily skin and some redness on my cheeks.Asked on 6/4/2013 by Laura from El Paso, Texas
1 answer
A:Enzymion moisturizer is one of our lightest moisturizers and contains a number of ingredients to brighten your skin and regulate oil production. While Vanishing Cream is the absolute lightest one we make and both would be suitable for the skin you've described, Enzymion sounds like it would be slightly more beneficial as it contains aloe vera to help soothe your skin and will calm the redness you've described.Answered on 10/2/2013 by Kendra M from LUSH Direct
Q:What are the different benefits from this and vanishing cream? I know they are both for oily skin but i'm not sure which one to use.Asked on 5/3/2013 by Jordan
2 answers
A:Vanishing Cream is our absolutely lightest moisturizer as it only contains a small amount of shea butter to lightly condition the skin. Additional ingredients like lavender balance your face's oil production and witch hazel tightens the pores. Enzymion is slightly heavier but also good for oily skin. It contains cocoa butter and avocado oil to lightly moisturize your face and a number of fruit juices to clear and brighten your skin.Answered on 9/24/2013 by Kendra M from LUSH Direct
A:I would say you're getting the benefits of all Natural ingredients when you're using Enzymion. I'd also say Enzymion has much lighter texture than vanishing cream, which feels heavy on the skin. I had plenty of acne scars and I use this with Dark Angels(which exfoliates the dead skin), then follow up with Tea Tree Water toner, a thin layer of Enzymion and have noticed a difference in my complexion within a couple weeks. Hope this helps!Answered on 5/8/2013 by MNWalls from Indy
Q:Well, my dad's birthday is coming up and his face is seriously oily. Like seriously oily. In the middle of the afternoon he gets oil in his eyes because his eyelids are dripping with oil.

Thank yoU!Asked on 1/17/2013 by Obsessed Lushie from Singapore
2 answers
A:Using Enzymion could be a good option to try, as well as looking at a face cleanser like Coal Face, which has amazing ingredients like charcoal and licorice to control excess oil!Answered on 8/14/2013 by Anonymous
A:Well, if you're father's skin is *seriously* oily, you might want to start with the lightest moisturizer that LUSH carries - Vanishing Cream - and then if you find his skin needs a bot more hydration, you can try something a bit more rich, like Enzymion. Vanishing Cream has Witch Hazel in it, which is like a nuclear missile against oil. The citrus oils in Enzymion would help as well, but for big pores and serious oil issues, start with Vanishing Cream first, I'd say.Answered on 4/14/2013 by Alex from Vancouver, Canada

Assisted death bill advances, with black markBy DAVE GRAM
The Associated Press | February 09,2013MONTPELIER The Vermont Senate is set to vote next week on legislation that would allow doctors to prescribe lethal medication doses to terminally ill patients who request it, although a legislative committee recommended Friday that it be defeated.
The measure, dubbed death with dignity by many supporters and physician-assisted suicide by opponents, was sent to the full Senate for a vote by the Senate Judiciary Committee but, in an unusual move, with a recommendation it not pass. Committees looking to kill bills normally just never complete work on them, meaning they never come to a vote of the full legislative body.
Judiciary Committee Chairman Richard Sears, D-Bennington, said the 3-1 vote one member was absent fulfilled a promise Senate President Pro Tem John Campbell made to his fellow Democrats in December as he sought support to retain his leadership post.
Campbell and Sears both oppose the legislation but agreed to let it be debated in the full Senate, Sears said.
That was the deal made in the Democratic caucus, Sears said. Senator Campbell, as part of his agreement for re-election, and I agreed to do it as chair of Judiciary. I could have said no ... but I said yes at the Democratic caucus in December that I was willing to vote it out adversely.
The Judiciary Committees vote to give the bill a negative recommendation came a week after the Senate Health and Welfare Committee voted 5-0 to support the measure.
The negative recommendation sets up an odd dynamic for Tuesdays vote, with two votes necessary to actually pass the bill. Supporters must first vote no because the question up for consideration is whether the Senate should reject the measure. If supporters win that vote, a second vote would have to be held to grant preliminary approval, with a final vote then scheduled for Thursday.
The votes are expected to be very close, with both supporters and opponents of the legislation saying theyve lined up about 13 votes each in the 30-member Senate, with four undecided as of Friday.
Another path would be for lawmakers to reject the move to kill the bill when it comes up for a vote Tuesday and then take a recess to work up a series of amendments before resuming floor debate. One of the issues that could arise then concerns what the patients death certificate should say about the cause and manner of death. As currently drafted the bill would block any mention of the fact that the patient had died by taking an overdose of medication, instead saying the death was due to the patients underlying illness.
If the legislation ultimately passes, Vermonts law would be modeled on one in place for 15 years in Oregon that sets up several safeguards to ensure that patients opting to end their own lives are of sound mind and are not being unduly pressured by family members or others.MORE IN Vermont NewsBURLINGTON The Vermont Health Department has put out a warning about the wild parsnip, a common...

Purported iPhone 5 part leaks assemble again, pose for video
Apparently, pictures of supposed new iPhone parts assembled together weren't enough, because now a similar constructicon-style merge-to-form has been done on video and we get a look at what the leaks look like being held and spun around. This time it's Macotakara who're providing the purported preview.
This flexible power cable has several connectors for sound volume button, silent switch, sleep button and newer one more thing, which are placed left-top area where is opposite side of sound volume button with connecting a unknown parts or antenna. I don't have idea if this new power supplied parts should be NFC or not.
It'll be interesting to see if Apple goes NFC or not for the next iPhone. Even if the words NFC never leave Apple's lips on anything other than a radio spec page, they need a big demo moment and something for the Santa commercial this year, and going into Starbucks or Target and paying with a wave of an iPhone would certainly fill that bill.
As to the phone parts, like we said with the photos, they match one of the rumored 4-inch, 16:9 iPhone prototypes that we and others heard Apple was considering for the iPhone 5. Last year there was a lot of confusion over parts for an iPhone 5 that never made it into production (we got the conservatively designed iPhone 4S instead), but this year the leaks are more consistent with other information.
Hopefully we'll find out for sure in about 6 weeks. Meanwhile, here's the video:

Purported iPhone 5 part leaks assemble again, pose for video
Being a big Android fan I must admit the 4S is a very good looking phone, the height to width ratio looks better on the 4S then on the new I-Phone 5. I think they should have made it just a tad wider and a little less tall, the overall appearance would look better. Time will tell. Looks like they got rid of that very breakable glass back and replaced it with metal. Just hope it doesn't screw up the radio signal. That is why most phone companies go with hi tech plastic like materials.
That looks obviously fake. The parts look cheap and lightweight and the glass especially looks like cheap glossy plastic.

Experiencing art is an individual, emotional experience—different for every one and perhaps never quite the same for a revisiting viewer.
The Carsten Höller: Experience exhibit at the New Museum brings new meaning to this idea as it toys with and challenges engrained perceptions of the outside world.
Drawing on inspiration from scientific experiments—and through amusement parks or playgrounds—he attempts to manipulate viewer's physical and psychological sensations creating uncertainty and doubt.

Drawmer has famously provided the best tools to producers, engineers and artists for over 30 years. Major studios and venues have repeatedly incorporated their legendary products into their setups, making them a solid option for professional configurations everywhere.
Based in Yorkshire, England the company was founded by audio circuit enthusiast Ivor Drawmer. Avid keyboardist, Drawmer came up with a small batch of studio delay lines and went from there, helping to create a full selection of compressors, power gates, speaker protectors and more. Perfecting audio has always been Drawmer's main concern.
Compressors have been Drawmer's primary focus since 1982. Their ability to narrow the range of the sound source and control volume fluctuations of everything from vocals to electric guitars has impressed sound engineers in a variety of fields due to their tight circuitry. By not allowing the input's volume to go above a certain limit, recording artists could ensure that their mix ending up sounding as even as possible.
Drawmer's power gates and speaker protectors have become sought after units as well. The unique circuitry of a power gate gives the engineer greater control over the incoming audio signal. It also makes it possible to provide more definition to tracks than compressors, even if the frequency is lacking. For instance, you can completely alter a drum or guitar track with the flip of a switch.
A unique innovation by Drawmer is their state-of-the-art speaker protectors. These units give the user a master key and control over their sound system's speaker levels. So, if you own a bar and have different bands and sound guys coming in and out, you never have to worry about them turning up the system beyond capacity, potentially ruining your expensive equipment. These units give you the ability to set the maximum levels and then leave for the evening without a worry.
Innovation in sound technology is Drawmer's main attraction. Whether you're running a cutting edge studio or just need some help controlling your own musical establishment, Drawmer has come up with a way to make your day-to-day life a whole lot easier.

NC Cooperative Extension held its annual Agriculture Awareness Day for Yadkin County second graders on April 11.
Ag Awareness Day started about 20 years ago here in Yadkin County," said Melissa Staebner, Extension Agent and 4-H Youth Development Coordinator for the county. "It used to be called farm animal day. We started at the Yadkin county Park ball fields and we had animals tied to the fence."
Since then the program has evolved and moved to various locations in the county. It came to rest at lone Hickory Arena in Yadkinville in 2010. Today the event can offer safe housing quarters for the animals and a sheltered area for students and volunteers to talk about what agriculture means to them.
The event leads second graders through 12 stations to learn about various areas of agriculture. This year the stations were dairy, horses, goats, sheep, beef, chickens, animal byproducts, veterinary medicine, insects, honey bees, field care and where our food comes from.
Students were treated to a special snack and informed of where every item came from and why agriculture made it possible.
"Our presenters are actually our older 4-H youth and youth who have been involved in the 4-H program or youth that are associated with Cooperative Extension," Staebner said. "We all work together so that we can educate these young people.
A total of 23 second grade classes attended the event from the eight elementary schools in the county. Approximately 400 students took part in the event.
"The kids really seemed to enjoy this event," said Ashley Dezern, a second grade teacher at Courtney Elementary. "Some of my kids have never been to a farm before so they're being exposed to things they are not used to being exposed to. They really seem to enjoy being around the animals."
Staebner said that due to growing class sizes Cooperative Extension did have to scale down this year's event some. They added additional classrooms but had to do away with the mock rodeo they did in years past.
"We do hope to incorporate that back in next year but since we were short staffed and the addition of some classrooms we were not able to accommodate it this year," Staebner said. "We also used to do a sheepdog demonstration and have since taken that out of the program and if we're not able to reinstate the mock rodeo then we hope to bring back the sheepdog demonstration in the future."
Overall Staebner said that the event was a success and she thinks it provided teachers, students and volunteers a valuable opportunity to share and gain knowledge about the largest industry in the county.
"They love the opportunity to get out here and see things close up and hands on," Staebner said. "That's why we feel so fortunate because we can help the classroom teachers provide a hands on opportunity. They are teaching the scientific concepts within the classroom and here they can actually see the life cycles of these animals."

Best Uses
Comments about Salomon XR Mission (Men's):
I switched to this shoe after I had an ankle injury due to wearing a minimalist shoe. After switching to it I have had no ankle issues. Due to the shoe's wide base it keeps your ankle form turning even when running on rough and technical terrain. Another aspect about this shoe that I like is its durability. I ran probably over 700 miles on my pair of missions. A final positive aspect about the missions is its versatility. Salomon markets this shoe as a door to trail shoe, and in my personal experience the missions work equally well on roads as it does on trail.

Comments about Salomon XR Mission (Men's):
I am on my second pair of these shoes... My first ones were great until my toe started to bust through the mesh... They were only a month old so the good people at rock creek exchanged them as a warranty defect. My second pair are a month old and now the grips are separating in several places and they catch and fold over sometimes while walking. I will not be going back to exchange them again it would be embarrassing going back a second time. I have had three other pairs of Solomon's and these are the first pair to be bad quality. I will just not get another xrmission.

South Americans, Diet of
South America is the fourth largest continent on the planet, making up 12 percent of the earth's surface. It contains twelve independent nations: Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Guyana, Paraguay, Peru, Suriname, Uruguay, and Venezuela. In addition, it contains three territories: The Falkland Islands (Great Britain), French Guiana (France), and the Galapagos Islands (Ecuador). The continent has a very diverse population. There are small pockets of native Indian groups and significant numbers of descendents of Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, German, West African, and East Indians settlers. There also are considerable numbers of Chinese and Japanese. Approximately 90 to 95 percent of South Americans are Roman Catholic.
Nutritional Status
A high percentage of South Americans live in extreme poverty. Parasitic infection, protein-calorie malnutrition, iron-deficiency anemia, iodine deficiency, and vitamin-A deficiency are common nutritional problems in the rural and urban areas in many South American countries. Heart disease, hypertension, and obesity are also on the rise.
Eating Habits and Meal Pattern
South Americans typically eat three meals and one or two snacks daily. Milk is usually not consumed as a beverage but used in fruit-based drinks and coffee, and milk-based desserts are popular. Fruits, vegetables, and nuts are eaten in abundance. Cassava flour and meal are common in many areas.
Coffee is a major beverage throughout the continent, and South American countries now produce most of the coffee consumed worldwide; Brazil alone produces about a third of the world's coffee. Coffee usually is served concentrated, then diluted with evaporated milk or water. Coffee is consumed heavily in Argentina, Colombia, Ecuador, and Brazil, while tea is popular in Chile and Uruguay. Herbal teas are used as remedies throughout the continent.
Yerba maté (pronounced "yerba mahtay") is a caffeinated, tea-like beverage that is consumed for its "medicinal" properties. Its many health claims include energizing the body, stimulating mental alertness, strengthening the immune system, and aiding weight loss. Maté is consumed mainly in Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, and southern Brazil. It is brewed from the dried leaves and stemlets of the perennial tree Ilex paraguarensis. The bombilla is a special metal straw used to drink this brew.
Breakfast is normally a light meal with coffee or tea; bread with butter and jam; and sometimes fruit or fruit juice. Meat and cheese are usually eaten in Brazil and Chile. Lunch is traditionally a heavy meal, and it is followed by a siesta (nap), which helps one recover from both the food and the heat. The siesta is still common among many locals, but the tradition is disappearing from the business day. Appetizers such as fritters and turnovers may start the lunch meal, followed by grilled meat, rice, beans, cassava, and greens. Dinner is another heavy meal, and it often lasts several hours. Dinner usually begins late in the evening, sometimes as late as 9:00 P.M. Desserts are usually simple. Typical desserts are fresh or canned fruits with cheese, a custard called flan, and a milk cake called tres leches. Snacks are readily available from street vendors and bakeries. Popular snacks include turnovers filled with spicy meats, seafood, and vegetables; hot dogs; and steak or meat sandwiches.
Traditional Cooking Methods and Food Habits
The cuisine of South America varies from country to country and region to region. The cuisine tends to be a blend of cultural backgrounds, available foods, cooking styles, and the foods of colonial Europeans. Some regions have a largely maize-based diet (often spiced with chili peppers), while other regions have a rice-based diet. Grilled meats are popular. Traditionally, sides of beef, hogs, lamb, and goats are grilled slowly for hours. Another cooking method is to steam foods in a pit oven. For example, in Peru, a pachamanca
Some of the delicacies found on South American menus are toasted fire ants from Columbia, called hormiga, and these barbecued guinea pigs, or cuy, from Ecuador.
Quinoa, the seed of the Chenopodium, or goosefoot plant, has been a staple food of millions of native inhabitants, but production declined for centuries after the Spanish conquest in the 1500s. It is used as a grain and substituted for grains because of its cooking characteristics. It became a minor crop due to its decline, and at times it has been grown only by peasants in remote areas for local consumption. In Peru, Chile and Bolivia, quinoa is widely cultivated for its nutritious seeds, which are used in creating various soups and bread, and it is also fermented with millet to make a beer-like beverage. A sweetened concoction of quinoa is used medicinally.
Regional Food Habits
Brazilian foods have a heavy Portuguese, African, and native influence. The Portuguese contributed dried salt cod, linguiça (Portuguese sausage), spicy meat stews, and desserts such as corn and rice pudding. Africans brought to the area as slaves contributed okra, dendê oil (palm oil), and peppercorns. The national dish of Brazil is feijoda completa, which consists of black beans cooked with smoked meats and sausages served with rice, sliced oranges, boiled greens, and hot sauce. It is topped with toasted cassava meal. Coffee, rum, and beer are common beverages.
Colombia and Venezuela.
Venezuelan and Colombian foods have Spanish influences. Many foods are cooked or served with olive oil, cheese, parsley, cilantro, garlic, and onions. Hot chile peppers are served on the side of most dishes. Local fruits and vegetables are abundant, and tropical fruits are often dried to make fruit leather. In Columbia, chicken stew and sancocho (a meat stew with starchy vegetables) are popular. One of the most unusual specialties of Columbia is hormiga, a dish made from fire ants. Toasted ants are also a favorite treat during the insect season in June. In Venezuela, cornmeal bread, or arepa, is a staple food. Arepa is cooked on a griddle and is sometimes stuffed with meat or cheese before it is fried. Pabellón caraqueño is also popular. This dish consists of flank steak served on rice with black beans, topped with fried eggs and garnished with plantain chips. Coffee, rum, and beer are common beverages.
Argentina, Chile, Bolivia, Uruguay, and Paraguay.
These southern countries are major beef producers. Argentineans eat more beef per capita than any other country in the world. Argentina is famous for asados, restaurants specializing in barbecued and grilled meat dishes—mainly beef, but also pork, lamb, and chicken. The national dish of Argentina is matambre, which is herb-seasoned flank steak rolled around a filling of spinach, whole hard-boiled eggs, and whole or sliced carrots. It is then tied with a string and either poached in broth or baked.
Citizens of these southern states enjoy hearty soups and stews daily. Fish soups and stews are popular in coastal Chile. Stews in Argentina often combine meats, vegetables, and fruits. The soups of Paraguay have heavy European influences and include bori-bori, which is a beef soup with cornmeal and cheese dumplings. Pizza, pasta, and meat dishes are popular in these countries. Wines from the midlands of Chile are considered to be some of the best produced on the continent.
Guyana, French Guiana, and Suriname.
Guyanese cuisine is a culinary hybrid with African, East Indian, Portuguese, and Chinese influences. Guyanese usually cook three full meals every day. Rice and roti (flat bread) are staples at lunch and dinner. Fresh cow's milk may be part of the morning or evening meal. A favorite dish is pepper pot, a stew made with bitter cassava juice, meat, hot pepper, and seasoning. Other popular foods are roti and curry, garlic pork, cassava bread, chow mein, and "cook up," a one-pot meal that can include any favorite meats or vegetables. Popular homemade drinks are mauby, made from the bark of a tree, sorrel, made from a leafy vegetable used in salads, and ginger beer. People in French Guiana enjoy an international cuisine, as well as Chinese, Vietnamese, and Indonesian dishes. Imported soft drinks and alcoholic drinks are popular but expensive. Suriname's cuisine has heavy Javanese, Dutch, Creole, Chinese, and Hindustani influences. Beer and rum are popular alcoholic drinks.
Peru and Ecuador.
The cuisine of Peru and Ecuador is typically divided into the highland foods of the Andes and the lowland dishes of the tropical coastal regions. The cuisine in the mountain areas is the most unique in South America, preserving many dishes of the Inca Indians. Potatoes are eaten at nearly every meal, including snacks. More than 200 varieties of potato can be found in the Lake Titicaca region. They range in color from purple to blue, and from yellow to brown. Size and texture vary as well—some are as small as nuts, while others can be as large as oranges. The foods of Peru and Ecuador feature an abundant use of chile peppers. Salsa de ají, a mixture of chopped chile, onion, and salt is served at most meals. The coastal region is famous for its cerviches, a method for preparing seafood in which the main ingredient is marinated in lime or sour orange.
The natural beauty of South America makes it a popular ecotourism destination. Food-borne and water-borne diseases are the number one cause of illness in travelers. Visitors are therefore advised to wash their hands often and to drink only bottled or boiled water or carbonated drinks in cans or bottles. They also should avoid tap water, fountain drinks, and ice cubes.

Historical Museum
Lady Lake Historical Society Museum
It is our pleasure to welcome you to the Lady Lake Historical Society Museum, the institution devoted to the history and culture of the Town of Lady Lake. During a visit to our museum, you will gain new insights into this most beloved Town, where its heritage of diversity and perpetual transformation is on display.
The Lady Lake Historical Society was founded in 1992. The young institution began collecting artifacts, furniture, decorative arts, photographs and more, and soon exceeded the space of the Log Cabin, its first location (shared with multiple organizations), now the official home of the Lady Lake Area Chamber of Commerce. The original Old Depot, used as Lady Lake's first public library, became available for use by the museum in 2000.
During the summer of 2014, the Society undertook its first thorough renovation of its display areas. We have completely changed the interior of the museum to create an environment where visitors can step into the past to learn about the history of Lady Lake. Our collections serve as a resource for exhibitions ranging from Early History, to Founding Families, to the Military, to Agriculture, to Early Schools, to Early Churches, to the Beginning of the Villages, and more!
The Lady Lake Historical Society, Inc. – a 501(c) 3 non-profit organization.
Log Cabin Park, 107 South Old Dixie Highway, Lady Lake, Florida (Between the log cabin and the train cars)
P. O. Box 1486, Lady Lake, FL 32158
The museum is open on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays from 10 a.m. until 1:00 p.m.
The mission of the Lady Lake Historical Society is to identify, collect, and exhibit the ideas, arts, and artifacts of Lady Lake's heritage in order to preserve the past for future generations.

Merse gives his verdict on all the weekend's games
As ever, you can follow all the Premier League action this weekend on Sky Sports.
We asked Soccer Saturday expert Paul Merson to look at the fixtures and give us his verdict on where the games will be won and lost.
Every week he'll be here on skysports.com to share his views on who he expects to be the winners and losers of the weekend.So read on for his shouts and don't forget to let us know your views via the comments box...
Ford Super Sunday: Liverpool v Tottenham
3pm, Sun, Sky Sports 1 HD & Sky 3D
Tottenham did a great job against Arsenal last week, but after all that hard work they need at least a draw at Liverpool.
If they lose, and Arsenal win their game in hand, then we're back to where we were. If you look at the fixtures, then after the away game at Swansea I'd say Arsenal have got a lovely run-in and I expect them to win seven more games.
Some people are getting carried away by saying Tottenham can finish second, but if Arsenal are chasing anybody, it's Tottenham. I know they are having a great run, but they haven't had a blip this season and all it will take is a couple of defeats and a draw to let Arsenal back in.
The Europa League will help Arsenal immensely as well. Tottenham will be playing on Thursdays and Sundays and that could take its toll. I don't think it will be a big issue this week, though; Tottenham have had two great results against Arsenal and Inter Milan and you don't feel tired when you're winning.
Liverpool's still a tough place to go, though, and I fancy them to win this game. They can beat anybody on their day and the players are getting used to the way Brendan Rodgers wants them to play.
He's bought well and he's let go of the reins on Steven Gerrard, too. He was asking him to play tippy-tappy football earlier in the season and that's not his game.
Plus, they've got Luis Suarez and a lot of people are talking about him and Gareth Bale ahead of this match. They're both great players who tick a million boxes and I really couldn't choose who I'd rather have in my team; they're both as good as each other.
But if I was picking my Player of the Season I wouldn't choose either of them. It would be Robin van Persie for me because he has won the league for Man United and has made the difference for them after last year.
I can't work out why people are saying Bale should get the award. He's maybe helped Tottenham to get in the Champions League. The problem with the PFA Player of the Year Award is that people were asked to vote two weeks ago - and whoever is playing well at that time wins. He's got 11 goals in his last nine games, but he only got seven in his first 20 games for Spurs this year!
But he is a great player. Like Suarez, he can do something out of the ordinary. They can score goals when the team is playing terribly and that's a big advantage. Arsenal, for example, haven't got that.
But overall, I don't think Tottenham are as good as people say they are and at the end of a long week I think Liverpool will win this at home.
Norwich v Southampton
If Norwich win this game then I think that's another year in the Premier League secured and I think they will do that. I say that because Southampton have been playing a game where they've been closing people down and after you lose a couple of games - as they have - then all that becomes a bit of a chore. I fear Southampton's players are being asked to do something they're not used to and it might take its toll.
QPR v Sunderland
I say it every week, but this another game that QPR HAVE to win. It was a huge win for them at Southampton last week and they've got no better hope of giving themselves a lifeline than by winning this. They were chasing three teams, but they could pull Southampton and Sunderland into the mix in back-to-back games and that could make a big difference. Sunderland aren't great travellers and I'm backing QPR. If they don't win this they will struggle to stay up, though.
Reading v Aston Villa
For me, Aston Villa always do well when they're playing teams who'd expect to beat them. They looked decent against Arsenal and Man City, but they flatter to deceive at times. However, I fancy them to win this game because Reading have hit a brick wall. They had a poor result against Wigan last week - you can't be getting roasted at home to Wigan - and the confidence will be rock bottom. The fans will be a bag of nerves after that reality check.
West Brom v Swansea
Swansea surprised me last week. They followed up their Capital One Cup win with a great victory at Newcastle (which will be a worry for Arsenal who go to the Liberty Stadium in their next away game). Personally, I think this will be an open game and the two sides will go out and play total football. I'll go for a draw, but if I had to go with someone I would pick West Brom because of the speed and strength of Romelu Lukaku.
Newcastle v Stoke
Newcastle probably need one more win to be certain of staying up, but I watched their Europa League game on Thursday and I thought they were very comfortable and Alan Pardew got his tactics spot on. Stoke have been bad travellers this season and won't have Robert Huth in their ranks, so I'm going for a home win.

So, a bunch of aliens come along and tell us this:
We are beings from another dimension. In case you're wondering, we are the ones who created the comos in which you live. We can destroy it instantly or let it continue on as is. Your choice."
We ask, "What, then, is the choice?"
"Just give us an 8 year old girl who we'll make immortal and we'll give you back your cosmos."
"What will you do with her? Whatever we want. Primarily, we enjoy torture. We'll torture her till the end of time. If you won't do that, we'll bring everything you know to an abrupt end. What is your choice?"
How would you analyze this? The greatest good for the greatest number or what?

Oh oh. You don't want to know what I think.I think instant annihilation is the answer and any innocent that has seen or felt intense suffering would hopefully agree. I realize some people wouldn't agree if they believe God says to annihilate everyone would be wrong. However, I think it would so go against our instinct to survive we would find it almost impossible to commit to bringing annihilation about.
Aw, man, this could be worse than I thought! Atheist Eschatology, choosing death for themselves and innocents, for "moral" reasons. Sound familiar?
There have been studies about similar questions of morality, with similar results. (Well, assuming the majority here also leans towards mass destruction.) So I must be in the minority.
(Gah! I mean really, maybe more and more people will want to destroy the world just to clear it of every miserable person they believe exists? The only difference here is in how the misery was caused in the first place.)
I hope I'm the one the aliens talk to, because...
I'm screwing the kid over to save the universe.
Shit, I'm so generous I'll give them 2 kids. :D
I would ask these alternate dimension creatures if they knew how to time travel and, if so, would they mind going back to Anne Coulter's 8th birthday and picking her up.
RE Anne Coulter - ever read O. Henry's, "The Ransom of Red Chief"?
the poor aliens.
LOL! You bad Heather!
AMEN to that.
I laughed, but now I'm wondering... maybe this has already, actually happened?
I'm glad my idea has at least gotten quite a few laughs - but in all honesty, I was completely earnest in my response. Thank you, thank you, I'm here all weak!
I hope you applied scepticism:
1) Why should I believe the aliens created the cosmos? They could be pathalogical liars.
2) Is it relevent whether they created it, if they have the ability to destroy it? Why did they create the cosmos - has their purpose been filled, and will they really destroy it?
3) Why should I believe that they can - and will - destroy the cosmos?
4) If I accept that they are sufficiently immoral to torture a child for pleasure, and to destroy all life, why would I believe that they would refrain from doing so if I acceeded to their demands?
5)If they are so powerful, why do they need our consent to torture a child? Couldn't they just create one, or take one without our knowledge? This could indicate they are less powerful that they claim?
6) Are these aliens themselves immortal, or can I kill them before they have a chance to destroy the world?
7) Is there a third option? Can we persuade the aliens not to torture anyone, or destroy the cosmos? Maybe if we offer them chocolate and high-speed internet they will be satisfied and leave us alone?
8) How long would the 'destruction of the universe' take? Beings that can make others (and presumably themselves) immortal, and created something as complex and as vast as the universe, might think in timescales too great for us to care. If the destruction of the cosmos is going to take more than a few thousand years, then humanity doesn't have much to worry about.
Well the thing about these conundrums is they are posited to be airtight.
We are told to assume that the aliens have proven to everyone's satisfaction (including yours) that they are who they say they are and can do what they say they can do. And that we only have the two alternatives given, no "out" in a third direction.
Of course the scenario is unrealistically constrained; the point is to force you to choose between two ridiculous and horrific alternatives.

Emmy-winner Jeff Daniels brings music to MonroeWritten by Jeff McGinnis | | firstname.lastname@example.com
Every story, every personality profile, every description seems the same. When a writer is trying to sum up Jeff Daniels — the acclaimed, Emmy-award winning actor, star of stage and screen — they always seem to find the same words. "Grassroots." "Homespun." "Down to Earth."
Does it ever get wearying for Daniels to be so readily typecast as … well, normal?
"Well, it beats the alternative — abnormal," Daniels quipped in an interview with Toledo Free Press Star.
"It probably comes from, certainly the upbringing and having been raised in the Midwest, and Michigan specifically. You know, I never bought the Hollywood fast lane. … When you get whatever degree of fame you attain, it really is fleeting. And I always was very aware of that. So I tried to keep an even keel on that — when it was going good, when it was not going well at all. And that kind of helped that whole 'normalcy' kind of thing. You don't get too wrapped up in yourself when you kind of approach it that way."
It's natural to feel at ease talking to Daniels. He brings such a kind bearing to the conversation, it's easy to forget that you're talking to an actor who has been in films for more than 30 years. He brings a range of ability to such a wide variety of roles that he's just as at home in heavy drama as he is in the most lightweight of comedies. He wrapped filming the long-awaited "Dumb and Dumber To" with Jim Carrey this past fall, and will soon return for the third — and final — season of the acclaimed HBO series "The Newsroom."
What to do in the interim? Take to the stage, of course. But not in a play. No, Daniels has another muse that he will be indulging during his hiatus — music. Folk music, to be exact.
Daniels will appear at the La-Z-Boy Center's Meyer Theater on the campus of Monroe County Community College on Jan. 29, for an evening of singing, guitar-playing and storytelling. The event will be part of a celebration to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the college, and the 10th anniversary of the theater in which he will be performing.
Special opportunity
For Daniels, the chance to perform in Michigan — where he grew up —will offer him a few special opportunities during the show.
"Well, specifically, I'll haul out some of the Michigan songs, that's for sure. I've written a few about my home state. But I just enjoy playing. And it's a chance for me to kind of get out and play some gigs before I head back to LA to do 'Newsroom.'"
Music has been a quiet passion for Daniels ever since his early days growing up in Chelsea, Mich. — population just a hair under 5,000. "It's always been there. In high school, I was in the choir, I was in musicals. And I took piano in high school, but didn't really take to it. And when I moved to New York in 1976, I just bought a guitar at Herb David Guitar [Studio] in Ann Arbor and just took it with me, figuring that I'd be sitting there, waiting for the phone to ring for weeks at a time. So I might want to be doing something creative. And I kind of taught myself there, for a while, and then, later on, got some help.
"I really enjoyed it. I enjoyed that kind of creative outlet that the acoustic guitar can give me. And I was writing songs — I mean, bad songs — but I was writing as far back as the '70s. And so I was always interested in writing, even before I knew I was a writer."
Daniels spent years composing pieces in his spare time. As his fame in Hollywood grew, his love for music only deepened — but mostly in private.
Though working on Broadway had certainly given him confidence onstage, he'd never actually performed his songs in front of an audience. That chance didn't come until early last decade, inspired by a desire to help the Purple Rose Theatre Company — a nonprofit performance group Daniels founded in his hometown.
"The guitar and the writing songs was a hobby. It's what I did on my back porch to relax, and to stay creative," Daniels said. "It wasn't until 2001 at the Purple Rose, where we realized that our fall show was done, middle of December, and our winter show didn't start until Jan. 15, and we've got the holidays. Boy, if we could figure out some way to raise some money over Christmas/New Year's, that would really help the theater.
"And they said, 'You know, we saw you pick up your guitar in a bar recently and play two songs. Do you have others?' 'Yeah, I guess.' 'Why don't we sell tickets to see you play your songs?' And I'm going, 'Yeah, OK!' And we were able to raise money just rolling me out there with a guitar.
"And it was terrifying. Terrifying. I had sweat stains, pit stains all the way down to my belt. I was just a mess, because you're so naked out there, creatively."
It took a few years of performing at these kind of fundraisers for Daniels to really feel comfortable playing music in front of a crowd. He developed a unique kind of give-and-take interplay with his audience — telling stories, charming them with his wit and surprising them with his adept guitar playing. He's grown steadily more confident over the past decade, recording five full-length albums of his work — all the proceeds of which go right back to the Purple Rose Theatre Company.
Songs about Hollywood
"I talk to the audience, it's a little bit of a back-and-forth. I get the audience involved sometimes in some songs. There's a song I do called 'The Big Bay Shuffle,' which is the story of a drunken dance that they do in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, and it's an actual dance. And a lot of the songs are about Hollywood. It depends on what the set list is, but I'll roll out things like what it's like to get shot by Clint Eastwood, you know. That's called 'Dirty Harry Blues.' But I tell the story leading up to it.
"So it becomes this kind of, I'm coming into your living room and I'm entertaining you for a couple hours."
Daniels continues to mature as a songwriter, as well. Many of his songs seem inspired by specific moments in his life, capturing the emotion of a time in the notes. But he insisted that is just part of the creative process any writer goes through — no matter what his medium.
"Sometimes I'm trying to say something, other times I'm just going, 'What's next?' And the radar is always out, any writer will tell you that — I mean, suddenly there's this phrase, and you just grab it, 'cuz you know it's a song, or you know it's an idea for a play. You just know. You don't know where it's going, what it is, but you know that that stands out versus the other six that you've got in your notebook that just continue to lie there.
"So you're constantly on the lookout for that thing that crystallizes a moment, if it's a song, or tells a great story that you haven't heard. And you just chase it at that point."
Daniels said he hopes to bring a suitcase full of those kind of moments to his Monroe audience
"I hope they laugh harder than they have in a long time. And then walk away — some will walk away absolutely stunned that I can even play. Some will walk away going, 'I didn't know he could sing.' Some will walk away going, 'Why didn't he dress up?' Some will walk away going, 'Where the hell's the band?' Some will walk in going, 'I expected dancing girls.' None of that's going to happen! But they will have a great time, I guarantee them that."
"An Evening with Jeff Daniels" will take place at 7:30 p.m. Jan. 29 at the Monroe County Community College La-Z-Boy Center, Meyer Theater. Reserved seating is $45. For information, visit www.monroeccc.edu/theater/events.htm#january.

Ron Guth: The 1926-D Peace Dollar is one of the more common dates in the series. Among the certified Mint State examples, the most frequently-seen grade is MS-64, with slightly fewer examples in MS-63, and about half as many in MS-65. There are enough MS-66 examples to satisfy collector demand, but anything better is very rare and none have been graded better than MS-67 by PCGS. Most examples offer a good, if not strong, strike. This date is also known for having bright, sometimes booming, luster. Overall eye appeal is satisfactory, although some examples show spidery die cracks that can be distracting. All in all, the 1926-D Peace Dollar is an excellent, affordable choice for type purposes.

Why the Boston Bomber 'Rolling Stone' cover doesn't matter
(Rolling Stone)
"Rolling Stone" has long been the music magazine.
They've covered everyone from Bob Dylan to Michael Jackson. One of their most famous covers featured a naked John Lennon cuddling with Yoko Ono. As a magazine, they've never shied away from controversy.
"Rolling Stone's" latest example is their August 2013 cover. It features a selfie of Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev with an accompanying story about how the young American became radicalized.
My co-host, Karie Dozer, pointed out that "Rolling Stone" is making him look like Jim Morrison. And since there have already been plenty of stories about girls who think the young terrorist is hot, this is the last thing that was needed.
Since the cover was unveiled social media has been filled with plenty of outrage directed at the magazine. Some have called it a slap in the face to Boston. Some stores such as CVS will refuse to sell the August issue. Others are calling for a boycott. All of this is perfectly acceptable. The outrage is warranted.
But it also doesn't matter.
Why not? Because "Rolling Stone," along with most other magazines, are completely irrelevant. Circulations are way down from their peaks. So are earnings. One of the nation's longest-running and most respected news magazines, "Newsweek," recently decided to go digital only. As for "Rolling Stone," their circulation hovers around 1.5 million.
Hence the cover choice.
Remember, this is the same magazine that featured Charles Manson on a cover in 1970. That issue of "Rolling Stone" featured an in-prison interview with Manson and it became one of their best-selling issues of all time.
In 2013 they are essentially doing the same thing. So, please, consider the source.
They want people to be outraged. They want the attention. And now "Rolling Stone" is getting plenty of it.

Neutropenia [1]
Neutropenia is an abnormally low level of neutrophils, a type of white blood cell. All white blood cells help the body fight infection [3]. Neutrophils fight infection by destroying harmful bacteria and fungi (such as yeast) that invade the body. People who have neutropenia are at increased risk for developing serious infections because they do not have enough neutrophils to destroy harmful microorganisms that cause disease. Some degree of neutropenia occurs in about half of people with cancer who are receiving chemotherapy, and it is a common side effect in people with leukemia. People with neutropenia may lower the likelihood of developing an infection by paying close attention to personal hygiene, such as washing their hands.
Relieving side effects, also called symptom management, palliative care [4], or supportive care, is an important part of cancer care and treatment. Talk with your health care team about any symptoms you may experience, including any new symptoms or a change in symptoms.
Signs and symptoms
Neutropenia itself does not cause any symptoms. Patients usually find out they have neutropenia from a blood test or when an infection develops. Because neutropenia is a common side effect of some types of chemotherapy, your doctor will schedule regular blood tests, usually a complete blood count (CBC), to look for neutropenia and other blood-related side effects of chemotherapy.
For patients with neutropenia, even a minor infection can quickly become serious. Talk with your doctor right away if you experience any of the following signs of infection:
- A fever (temperature of 100.5°F or higher)
- Chills or sweating
- Sore throat, sores in the mouth [5], or a toothache
- Abdominal pain
- Pain in the perirectal (anal) area
- Pain or burning when urinating, or frequent urination
- Diarrhea [6] or sores around the anus
- A cough or shortness of breath [7]
- Any redness, swelling, or pain, particularly around a cut, wound, or the site of intravenous catheter insertion
- Unusual vaginal discharge or itching
Neutrophils and other types of white blood cells are made in the bone marrow (a spongy tissue found inside larger bones such as the pelvis, vertebrae, and ribs) and then circulate in the bloodstream. Cancer and cancer treatment can cause neutropenia in several ways:
- Some types of chemotherapy can cause the bone marrow to not work properly, lowering the production of neutrophils.
- Cancers that affect the bone marrow directly, including leukemia, lymphoma, and myeloma, or metastatic cancer (cancer that has spread) can crowd normal bone marrow cells.
- Radiation therapy can also affect the bone marrow, especially when given to several areas of the body or to bones in the pelvis, legs, chest, or abdomen.
People with cancer who are age 70 or older or people with a weakened immune system (due to factors such as HIV infection or kidney transplantation) are at higher risk for neutropenia. People with severe or long-lasting neutropenia are more likely to develop an infection.
Management and treatment
Depending on the type or dose of chemotherapy, your neutrophil counts generally start to drop about a week after each round of chemotherapy begins and usually reach a low point (called the nadir) about seven to 14 days after treatment. At this point, you are most likely to develop an infection. Your neutrophil count then starts to rise again as your bone marrow resumes normal production of neutrophils. However, it may take three to four weeks to reach a normal level again.
When your neutrophil level returns to normal, your body is ready for the next round of chemotherapy. If you develop neutropenia or your neutrophil level does not return to normal quickly enough, your doctor may delay the next round of chemotherapy or recommend a lower dose of chemotherapy. Your doctor may recommend antibiotics during periods of prolonged neutropenia to try to prevent infections from occurring.
If chemotherapy causes neutropenia with a fever, your doctor may prescribe medications called colony-stimulating factors or white blood cell growth factors for your remaining cycles of chemotherapy. These drugs include filgrastim (Neupogen), pegfilgrastim (Neulasta), and sargramostim (Leukine or Prokine). These drugs help the body make more neutrophils or other types of white blood cells. Read more about ASCO's guideline on white blood cell growth factors [8].

I don't have a problem with Mo, although I think it would have been less contradictory if he just laughed when he was asked the question and walked away. Spending time whining about message boards to a guy you know is going to post it on a message board is like whining about Justin Beeber's crappy music while you're making no effort to change the station on the radio.
In Mo's defense, the hack who wrote this crap wouldn't have printed it if he'd just laughed in his face. If you have to roll with pigs, you know going in you have to get dirty, I guess.
