Numbers can lie -- but they're the best first step in determining whether a stock is a buy. In this series, we use some carefully chosen metrics to size up a stock's true value based on the following clues:
- The current price multiples.
- The consistency of past earnings and cash flow.
- How much growth we can expect.
Let's see what those numbers can tell us about how expensive or cheap Smith & Wesson
The current price multiples
First, we'll look at most investors' favorite metric: the P/E ratio. It divides the company's share price by its earnings per share -- the lower, the better.
Then, we'll take things up a notch with a more advanced metric: enterprise value to unlevered free cash flow. This divides the company's enterprise value (basically, its market cap plus its debt, minus its cash) by its unlevered free cash flow (its free cash flow, adding back the interest payments on its debt). Like the P/E, the lower this number is, the better.
Analysts argue about which is more important -- earnings or cash flow. Who cares? A good buy ideally has low multiples on both.
Smith & Wesson has a negative P/E ratio and an EV/FCF ratio of 14.3 over the trailing 12 months. If we stretch and compare current valuations to the five-year averages for earnings and free cash flow, Smith & Wesson has a negative P/E ratio and a five-year EV/FCF ratio of 19.0.
A positive one-year ratio under 10 for both metrics is ideal. For a five-year metric, under 20 is ideal.
Smith & Wesson has a mixed performance in hitting the ideal targets, but let's see how it compares against some competitors and industry mates.

Numerically, we've seen how Smith & Wesson's valuation rates on both an absolute and relative basis. Next, let's examine...
The consistency of past earnings and cash flow
An ideal company will be consistently strong in its earnings and cash flow generation.
In the past five years, Smith & Wesson's net income margin has ranged from -22.2% to 6.6%. In that same time frame, unlevered free cash flow margin has ranged from -3.6% to 15.7%.
How do those figures compare with those of the company's peers? See for yourself:
Source: S&P Capital IQ; margin ranges are combined.
Additionally, over the last five years, Smith & Wesson has tallied up three years of positive earnings and three years of positive free cash flow.
Next, let's figure out...
How much growth we can expect
Analysts tend to comically overstate their five-year growth estimates. If you accept them at face value, you will overpay for stocks. But while you should definitely take the analysts' prognostications with a grain of salt, they can still provide a useful starting point when compared to similar numbers from a company's closest rivals.
Let's start by seeing what this company's done over the past five years. In that time period, Smith & Wesson's past EPS growth rate isn't meaningful due to losses. However, Wall Street's analysts expect future growth rates of 14.7%.
Here's how Smith & Wesson compares to its peers for trailing five-year growth (TASER's trailing growth rate is also not meaningful because of losses):
Source: S&P Capital IQ; EPS growth shown.
And here's how it measures up with regard to the growth analysts expect over the next five years (there are no analyst estimates for Sturm, Ruger):
Source: S&P Capital IQ; estimates for EPS growth.
The bottom line
The pile of numbers we've plowed through has shown us the price multiples shares of Smith & Wessonare trading at, the volatility of its operational performance, and what kind of growth profile it has -- both on an absolute and a relative basis.
The more consistent a company's performance has been and the more growth we can expect, the more we should be willing to pay. We've gone well beyond looking at a negative P/E ratio, and we see inconsistency in its profitability. However, where Smith & Wesson gets a bit interesting is in its EV/FCF multiples. Its one-year and five-year figures are both reasonable. The difference between the negative P/E ratios and the reasonable EV/FCF ratios is mostly due to noncash asset writedowns. If you find Smith & Wesson's numbers or story compelling, don't stop. Continue your due diligence process until you're confident one way or the other. As a start, add it to My Watchlist to find all of our Foolish analysis.

I have tried so many concealers and never found one that I am completely happy with. They are either the wrong shade, too cakey, too drying, not enough coverage etc.
So, on my quest to find the perfect concealer, I decided to try a NARS one. This is the soft matte concealer in shade medium 1 – Custard.
I brought this from ASOS as I had some loyalty points to spend. I loved the idea of this product because it claims to have collagen boosting peptides and hyaluronic acid to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and pores by helping plump the skin.
Everyone wants different things from a concealer. For me, I want one that brightens under my eyes and provides coverage to my red patches of skin around my nose and on my chin.
I have been using this product for a few weeks now and I do really like it. It's not perfect, but it's definitly the best concealer I have tried so far.
I apply using my fingers. You don't need much of this product so although it's a little pot, I think this will last me a long time.
I pat the concealer into my skin, after my foundation and before my powder. It is a very matte finish and I find I don't need to put powder on the areas I have concealed. If I do put powder over the top, it can cake up, particularly under my eyes. I have also been applying this on my eyelids as an eyeshadow base and it helps keep my eyeshadow in place all day.
This is a full coverage concealer but it's not drying at all. It's a very creamy consistancy which is easy to apply and feels very lightweight on the skin. This shade is also perfect for me. There are 16 shades to choose from.
Have you tried this? Whats your favourite concealer?
Thanks for reading

Fax at 1 a.m.? Forget it
New agency struggles with rule mandating checks of new hires
The new state Justice Center for the Protection of People with Special Needs has good news for staff at the hundreds of disability agencies it now oversees: You no longer have to fax in the names of potential employees between the hours of 1 a.m. and 3 a.m.
Starting this week, the employers should be able to check the center's website to see if a potential employee has violated conflict laws designed to protect the disabled and can't be hired.
But employers at centers should know that the website, which will essentially serve as a registry of people banned from the disability field, won't immediately list the names of wrongdoers.
Thanks to due process requirements, abusers won't likely be ferreted out and listed under this new system for weeks or even months.
Either way, the tale of pre-dawn faxes illustrates both the limits of technology and the unforeseen gremlins that can plague a newborn state agency.
The center, which opened last month, is charged with safeguarding the approximately 1 million disabled New Yorkers who are under the care of public or private non-profit organizations or developmental centers.
Part of its mandate is to maintain the new "exclusion list" or registry of people who have been found to be abusive or neglectful to those under their care.
Employers are now required to make sure that potential personnel are not on the no-hire registry.
That makes sense but things got complicated when it came to the technology used in operating the registry.
Center lawyers concluded that the seemingly obsolete technology of faxing provided more security than email, given the possibility of hacker attacks, at least in the short-term.
Agencies may also have limited capacity to send encrypted or otherwise protected email.
"In most cases the Internet right now is not safeguarded to the correct level," said center spokeswoman Diane Ward.
But all those names, which will run into the hundreds or even thousands during a month, were being funneled through a single fax machine located in a secure room at the center's Bethlehem headquarters.
That led to an overload of the machine, which in turn necessitated the request that applicant lists be sent between 1 a.m. and 3 a.m.
That wasn't flying with agency operators. So some of the affected agencies suggested the center simply set up a website where employers could check to see if someone is on the exclusion list, which they did.
Even though the registry isn't yet populated with names, developmental center operators, by looking at the list prior to making a hire, are able to comply with the law which requires a check.
Center operators say they were glad to see the relatively quick fix for what threatened to become a classic bureaucratic snag.
"This was a very quick turnaround on what we thought was a sensible idea," said Seth Stein, executive director of the Alliance of Long Island Agencies for the Developmentally Disabled. He was one of several who alerted the center to the problem.
Others added the center is providing a new one-stop information center for people who work under the purview of multiple state agencies. That's relatively uncharted territory in state government.
Under the program, facilities run or licensed by the Office for People with Developmental Disabilities, the Office of Mental Health, the State Education Department, Health Department, Office of Alcohol and Substances Abuse Services and Office of Children and Family Services must use the new registry.
"This crosses a variety of state agencies," said Peter Pierri, executive director of the InterAgency Council of Developmental Disability Agencies.
"In a new agency, there are a lot of processes that we are working through," Ward said..

This piece if from a Norwegian artist, I haven't shown art from that part of the world yet. It from an artist known as JOFX, and was a birthday present for a friend. What great present, I think I got a shirt for my birthday.
I love how energetic this painting looks, like the brush strokes were put on with confidence. The white highlights really this piece to glow, it kind of looks to me that the figure is out in the snow. This is one image that you really have to see close up, so make sure that you click the thumbnail to see the larger version.

A few days ago, Jessie and I went to Target because we were bored.
Why yes, we do drive to Target or Walmart and people watch when we're bored, why do you ask?
A homemade Walmart I-Spy game board may also be in existence in my desk drawer with I-Spy to-find objects such as "Possible Prostitute", "Obnoxious, Unattended Children Screaming", "Motor Cart Beeping Noise", "Dead Fish", and much more!
And yes, all of those have hatch marks next to them. However, "Absolutely Scary" (a broad category to fit all of the walks of life Walmart has to offer) and "Denim Dan" (when a man or woman wears double denim) usually rank highest, with a surefire runner-up as "Food In Wrong Places", usually resulting in canned cat food in the freezers, and a bunch of bananas sitting on top of a pair of panties.
That's what I call Visual Merchandising!
Anywho, Jessie and I didn't want to fight unattended kids or deal with people in their motor carts (which after a certain hour, is nearly everyone), so we went to Target, where there's marginally more class.
We were walking around mindlessly with absolutely no destination or need for anything when we ended up in housewares, which usually results in me wanting to look at plates for food staging and napkins and frilly, unnecessary things to furnish my house with. And FYI, "my house" = my parents house. So yeah.
We were browsing the aisles when we ended up at sheets. I pointed out sheets I liked and he wrinkled his nose. "I like these!" he said, pointing at BLACK SATIN SHEETS. I informed him I was not going to sleep in a bed with black satin sheets because I am not a $2 hooker and he laughed. I proceeded to point out a spring-y set with colored flowers on it and he gagged.
"We'd need like, two sheets for each season," Jessie said. "Two for spring/summer, and two for fall/winter. So when one's in the wash, we can use the other set."
I mentally noted that was the wisest thing I'd heard him say in awhile as I happened to glance at the price-tag for aforementioned mutually-liked sheet set.
Fifty dollars.
Fifty times four? Are you kidding me? $200 on four sets of SHEETS?! Dude, what about food? Or makeup? Or magazines?! WTF. I can't spend TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS on SHEETS!
Therefore, in that moment, I came to the realization that anyone who owns four or more sets of sheets is a freakin' millionaire.
Seriously. Y'all are filthy rich!
I remember when Mervyn's was around and my mom would shop there constantly since she used to manage Mervyn's stores. I had some weird childish affinity with the bedding section and since they always had some "tween" bed set-up, I always fell in love with it. I was Mervyn's tween bed-set's target customer.
EVERRYYYTIME, without fail, I'd fall in love over the patterned sheet set and matching duvet. I'd fawn all over the cute, eclectic shams and how I wished I could have it and omg my bed will be SO COOL and all this jazz. Meanwhile, NEVERRRR looking at the price-tag because as a child I assumed my parents had to be rich and have extra money lying around for whimsical twin sheets.
And most of the time, my adoring mother would buy me a new sheet set, whether or not it was needed (and it most likely wasn't). This included but wasn't limited to: rainbow flower sheets, Powerpuff Girls sheets, Mickey Mouse sheets, a weird blue diamond-print sheets, margarita/martini print sheets (which took some convincing my mom to buy her twelve-year old daughter sheets with alcoholic beverages on them)… the list goes on.
Eventually, my mom grew tired of spending her hard-earned money on sheets for a thirteen year old and eventually, Mervyn's went out of business, thus extinguishing my obsession with tween sheet sets.
Just so you know, I'm now 21 and still sleeping on Powerpuff Girl sheets. I guess old habits die hard because I have nevahhhh thought about buying "big girl" sheets and now I certainly don't want to since I could buy a Betseyville bag or something with fifty bucks rather than something I sleep on. Pssshhhaw.
I also realized living with Jessie has the potential to be frightening and we dropped that discussion like a hot potato and moved on to looking at sunglasses.
Our relationship is strictly-sunglassses basis right now. Sorry, babe. I don't make enough to afford sheet sets yet. I am obviously unadultlike in SO many ways it's disgusting.
Speaking on that unadultlike note, I made some kettle corn. But again, since I am immature and stuff, I made it cotton candy flavored. I will disclaimer that MOST adults don't like cotton candy because they realize it's just blue sugar spun around into a cotton-ball-like consistency and hawked for $5 a stick at carnivals. But I can easily pass up funnel cakes and caramel apples in lieu of cotton candy. It's just SO DAMN GOOD.
And this popcorn is no exception. It's sweet, fun, slightly salty, crunchy and absolutely perfect.
Everyone will love this, sheet-shoppers and all.
Sea-Salted Cotton Candy Kettle Corn
About 4 cups kettle corn (I bought the prepared Trader Joe's brand, but you could pop your own)
1/4 pkg (about 2-3 squares) white chocolate almond bark
1 pkt Duncan Hines Cotton Candy Flavor Creations
Rainbow sprinkles
Sea salt
1. Line a flat surface with wax paper. Spread the kettle corn in an even layer across the wax paper.
2. In a small bowl, microwave the chocolate bark for about 30 seconds. Stir, then zap for another 15 seconds or until smooth and melted. Pour in the cotton candy flavoring and stir to combine.
3. Drizzle the kettle corn copiously with the cotton candy mixture. Sprinkle immediately with rainbow sprinkles and sea salt.
4. Allow the mixture to set for approx. 30 minutes before bagging & sealing in a Ziploc. The popcorn will keep up to 5 days if stored airtight.
Before you scrunch your nose and get all "salt and cotton candy?!" on me, you must take my word for it: it's great. The kettle corn already has perfected the sweet & salty thing, but this popcorn elevates it to a whole new level of amazingness. Plus, it's totally carnival fun without all the toothless heroin addicts trying to pawn off dead goldfish on you and stuff.
Next time, Jessie and I are taking this to Walmart for snacks and a show!! A brilliant date night, if you ask me.
Have a wonderful weekend!!
xo, Hayley

It really is been an eventful handful of weeks while pet breeders and owners have been occupied with the APHIS comment period and attempting to clarify to the USDA why raising pets as a hobby should not require the same federal regulation as commercial breeding. Nonetheless, both pet turtles and wild turtles can carry salmonella bacteria wild turtles might even carry less simply because they are not cooped up in modest turtle tanks! Hibernation helps turtles sustain regular thyroid activity, synchronize their reproduction cycles, and total their typical life expectancies. In Louisiana, Box Turtles are active in the course of all except the extremely cold occasions of the year. Turtle pets require suitable lighting, big water tanks and regular cleaning that a lot of turtle owners, even right now, are not conscious of. Turtles seldom survive overcrowded areas in shops and fairs, neglect, and anxiety throughout extended hours of transportation. Be positive to supply the turtles with a location to bask, swim, and hide, as these are the primary every day activities of your new pet.

Sure, the circumstances were a little more pressure-packed than some of their previous encounters, but Amanda Jobe sensed the familiarity of the moment as she stared into the pitcher's circle Wednesday evening at Arrocha Ballpark.
Jobe, Kansas University's designated player, saw the pitching change being made by Missouri in the bottom of the seventh inning with the game on the line, and all her at-bats against incoming pitcher Jana Hainey came flooding back.
All the way back to the under-14 summer softball leagues when the two played on not-so-friendly rival Kansas City-area AAU teams: Jobe for the Olathe Rockets and Hainey the Kansas City (Mo.) Lasers.
"I've seen her for so long, and she hasn't really changed," Jobe said, "so I was pretty excited when she came in."
So excited, in fact, that Jobe — who entered the day with just one home run all season — raked a walk-off, three-run homer over the right-field wall on Hainey's first offering, propelling Kansas to a 4-1 victory in Game Two of the Jayhawks' doubleheader against the Tigers. That salvaged a split of the day after Missouri run-ruled Kansas, 8-0, in six innings, and sent the Kansas players into delirium around home plate.
The theme song from "The Natural" blared over the speakers. Jobe rounded third, touched home and was mobbed by teammates. Strangely, the lights in the ballpark went out immediately.
Perhaps this was more symbolic than anything else. Jobe did not shatter the bulbs in the stadium lights a la Roy Hobbs when she knocked her towering shot to right. Instead, someone had switched the wrong breaker off, triggering sudden darkness on the field.
Still, Jobe's blast provided a rare, Hollywood-like moment for the slumping Jayhawks.
Wednesday's victory snapped a six-game losing skid for Kansas (11-20, 1-3 in Big 12 play), while also halting 13th-ranked Missouri's six-game winning streak.
"We've been struggling lately. No one's going to deny it," Jobe said. "I really think it's something we can build off of and kind of start over again."
The odds were tremendously stacked against Kansas heading to the final inning of Game Two. Missouri (31-5, 4-2), the best-pitching team in the Big 12 (1.24 team earned run average) clung to a 1-0 lead and hadn't allowed a run during the doubleheader's first 12 innings.
But KU right fielder Liz Kocon ended that scoreless streak on the first at-bat of the seventh with a booming home run to right field, tying the game at 1.
"I was real mad that we just got run-ruled the first game," Kocon said. "I was like, 'They're about to sweep us on our home turf. That's not going to happen.' That's just what I had in my head."
Kansas then received a double from Allie Clark and a walk from Elle Pottorf, helping to chase undefeated starter Kristin Nottelmann and set the stage for Jobe's heroics.
KU starting pitcher Sarah Vertelka picked up the complete-game victory after allowing one run on five hits.
"It's huge for momentum," KU coach Tracy Bunge said of the Jayhawks' first victory in two weeks. "It's huge just for the psyche. This group's got a lot to be proud of. They really do."

Helvetica is a beautiful and ubiquitous font with a cult that is compelling. The typerface is actually inspired from a mesmerizing and block buster movie, Gary Hustwit's Helvetica, which portrays the streets of the world. The font Helvetica is also something like that of a breath of fresh air and something that is universal.
The font was first introduced in 1957 by Eduard Hoffmann as Neue Haas Grotesk, and was first implemented for the Haas foundry in Münchenstein by Max Miedinger. The name was later transformed to Helvetica in 1960 inspired by the Latin name for Switzerland, Helvetia. Further to that, it became popular starting with the licensed font of several known foundries and nearing the edge of the corporate world.
Today, the Helvetica font is a worldwide renowned font with its own distinctive feature, appeal and feel.

September 14, 2017 Theriault Takes Second at Chicagoland
By Don Radebaugh, ARCA Racing Series
They may not have had the best car, but they had the best strategy. Christopher Bell bolted on four fresh General Tires during the final caution; then, with a bold, bonsai move on the high-side, charged from the eighth starting position to the front over a green-white-checker finish to win the thrilling ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards SCOTT 150 Thursday night at Chicagoland Speedway.
Bell, in the No. 25 Venturini Motorsports-Musselman's Apple Sauce-JBL Toyota, had barely a top-five car but got a big break with 10 laps to go when leader Michael Self, who led 29 laps, cut a right-front tire and brought out the final caution. Bell, under the direction of his crew chief Dave Leiner, came down pit road for his last set of tires, which gave the Norman, Okla. driver the magic he needed to get the lead.
"I was getting nervous," said Bell. "I knew we were running out of time...I'm just glad I was able to capitalize on those tires. Today was big for me. I was able to practice for the (NASCAR) Truck race and race this car. Don't know if we had the fastest car but my crew kept four tires laying there for us to bring it home. Obviously an awesome advantage to have tires over everyone at the end."
It also gave Venturini Motorsports, which grew its roots in the Chicago area, a hometown win and the team's first victory of the season.
"Really special day," Bell said. "The Venturinis have always been really fun to race with. To be able to win again for them and to see how happy they were in victory lane was really special."
Bell, the current NASCAR Camping World Truck Series leader, used the ARCA race as practice for Friday night's Truck race.
"Don't know how it happened…I was just told I was going to run the ARCA race and I'm glad I did. I know that it helps me for tomorrow…just gives me the confidence I need going into tomorrow."
Bell, with a big surge on the outside on the last restart, was running second by the time the pack came off turn two. With a big head of steam, Bell dived to the bottom and drove underneath leader Austin Theriault for the lead. Theriault, in the Unicover Ford, finished second, two-lengths away after leading one lap.
"I was really tight and then Christopher Bell passed me," said Theriault. "Can't thank everyone enough at Ken Schrader Racing. We've been working so hard to get our intermediate program better. We knew some of it was aero and some was the car…we had to balance the two. We've turned the corner. We wanted a solid run this weekend and we got one. We ran over some debris in that last caution and smashed the front bumper in. With all the variables and all the damage, I'm pretty happy with second place."
Brandon Jones, in the No. 8 Australian Gold Toyota for MDM Motorsports, finished third after leading the first eight laps from the General Tire Pole.
"I thought we were going to have a Michigan repeat," said Jones, who's won the last two ARCA races at Michigan. "Honestly, it was just too loose in the end…just couldn't hold onto it. Everything was there…just needed a little more in the end. This was one of the more competitive races we've had here in ARCA and I was grateful to be in it tonight. I was cooling the tires under caution…just needed to get the rears cleaned off a little better. We had one of the more dominant cars here today."
Ty Majeski showed his might early on, driving past Jones for the top-spot to lead the ninth lap. Majeski, in the No. 99 Treeo's Ford for Cunningham Motorsports, dominated much of the race with 50 laps led before Self surfaced at the front and drove away from everyone. Self, in the No. 88 Sinclair Lubricants Chevrolet for Mason Mitchell Motorsports, built a three-seconds lead before his right-front tire went down causing extensive damage to his car. It also gave Bell the chance to get four fresh tires and ultimately compete for the win.
Travis Braden, in Don Fike's No. 27 Ford, led 12 laps in the back half of the race after forgoing a pit stop for track position. Braden held tough until the final caution came out, which allowed several front-runners to pit for tires. Braden fell back to 11th in the final running order.
Noah Gragson finished fourth in the No. 15 Switch-Venturini Motorsports Toyota.
"It was definitely challenging," said Gragson. "We were 10th on the final restart and got up to fourth. We needed a little bit better track position. Very thankful for the opportunity. We'll take this and move onto to the Truck race tomorrow…hopefully win it and get in the playoffs."
Chad Finley finished fifth in the No. 51 Auto Value-Air Lift-XLT Manufacturing Chevrolet. Dalton Sargeant, Majeski, Shane Lee, Myatt Snider and Bret Holmes completed the top-10 respectively.
The ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards travels to Kentucky Speedway next for the Crosley 150 Friday night, Sept. 22, Live on FS1.

The Clubhouse Fishing Reports
CH Report: A Few Tyee Rolling Through! ~ July 21, 2016
July 21, 2016 | 2684 Views
A foggy night in here, a chill in the air, fireplace stoked up. Just in from fishing so here is the update as of WED night.
Some very large fish rolled through the last couple days in here. Dave McGlothlin started out the recent surge grabbing a 33 lber out at Lacy with myself, fishing shallow with the stern weight rods. Below is the picture of a very nice Tyee before she was released back to swim home. Way to go Dave, the only Tyee of the trip.
The following trip was the highway fishery for three days, below is a pic of George and the gang with typical highway Chinook caught off the down rigger at 150 feet. Oodles of Coho around and plenty Chinook in the high teen low twenties. Two Tyee were taken on this trip, largest 35, on Jarred's boat.
This brings us to the current trip, July 17 to 21. The 19th saw crazy pink numbers and loads of work, pinks for miles could be seen on the calm seas. Yes you could walk on they're backs I am sure. In the afternoon, some monsters appeared on the WEST BANK, and at 4 pm we grabbed a 42 lb Chinook, Bob Gallagher the angler. This fish was a jumper, and boiled behind the boat 250 feet out on a single run. Plenty nerves and a dry throat for sure, but safely into the Hippa aquarium he went, to be revived and given medical clearance to continue on his way home. We took some great pictures, a few are posted below.
Bud and his gang were surprised with a 33 up at NONAME, angled at 160 feet.
So this am we were all thinking big Chinook, and sure enough, another monster was hit. Boat 7, Brent grabbed a 58 on the WEST BANK, which was also returned quickly back after a few pics I do not have. I am sure Deepwater Don will have the guest anglers name and a few details. Korey snuck a 32 lb fish into the net to be measured and released, so well done guys. The boats poured in and it was overly busy for awhile. Once that kelp shows up and the tide runs look out, ugly at times haha. A few blown gaskets with the humpies showing in massive numbers at times.
Late this afternoon a 55 was hit by NIL, so DEEPWATER will have a story to tell next update. Some pictures too I am sure.
So the large Chinooks do still exist, but these fish are not in numbers seen decades ago, so we all have to do our part and release these giants. When you are the lucky angler and get the monster, no better rush or feeling. It is what keeps most of us actively sitting on kelp beds and reefs, grinding away hoping it is our turn next. We are lucky to land these monsters, and carefully set them free, now that is a perfect day.
I hope the trend continues, and the size hangs around. Not huge numbers, but any day two over 50 are angled, excitement and a buzz among the guides runs rampant. Enjoy the pics and see you all soon on the local kelp beds.
Mike Tonnesen, Head Guide, Screamer.

I've seen enough AXE commercials to know that it's scientifically impossible to attract women without the use of an AXE product. Every guy in the first five seconds of an AXE commercial has his shirt tail tucked deeply into his genital tangle, while he carries a brain that hardwires him into a life of stuttering and bumping into objects. Before AXE was invented, men didn't even know what sex was. They knew it existed, but when it came to the necessary ingredients for it, they were clueless. It wasn't until AXE body spray was shoved into the market that men finally started to pay attention, and stop considering non-spiked hair as a way to enter the dating game.
I knew that AXE Excite was a quality product from the moment that I read the word "Excite." Turning a woman on is an even bigger mystery than sex. It has something to do with hands and tongues, but any murder trial will tell you that that mixture leads to deadly consequences 90% of the time. Thus, men are hesitant to try and "excite" a woman. Modern mythology has taught us that failing in our attempts to woo women will leave us cursed to a life of Big Bang Theorizing, so it is such a relief to find a body wash that will do all the work for us. We don't even have to say hello anymore. Look at those pheromones emanating from "Excite." Women will be readying themselves for motherhood from our scent alone.
I don't know how "Ultra lather" or "super-charged" compare to just regular "lather" and "charged", but I do know that ladies…, so I'll take AXE's word for it. To be honest, I don't even think "Ultra lather" is a correct combination of words in any context, but I imagine that it sounds hot coming out of a woman groaning pleasurably, due to all of my "addictive fragrances" hitting her at once. On that note, I don't think I've ever been "addictive" before, so it's a plus to know that I'm going to start having my text messages answered.
See that, guys. Not just women, but dead women are going to fall for us, now that we're using AXE Excite. Angels, literal angels will plummet from heaven to sleep with us. Is AXE Excite the thing that will bring about the biblical Rapture? If so, great. The final reckoning of our souls is about to be hot.
It makes me sad that the copy writer who produced the back of the AXE Excite bottle was too covered in girls to come up with more than three adjectives. Think of all of the words that he could have thought to use besides "addictive," had those strippers and models not beat down his work-from-home office door to get to his junk.
"THE CLEANER YOU ARE, THE DIRTIER YOU GET" is only something that you come up with when your idea of sex is begrudgingly staring at your wife from across the couch when she says she's too tired for a back rub. This word play must have been written before the bottle was actually filled with AXE Excite Body Wash/Olympian Lubricant. To distract you from the same joke that would appear on a tampon's suicide note, AXE Excite inserted these nice pictures to help you understand the process of just how Axe Excite will affect your life. First, you use it in the shower, because otherwise you'll drip smelly, purple liquid all over the floor of the bar. Next, you're simply approached by women wearing red dresses, the color of both passion and very imaginary passion. All you have to grasp is two steps, whereas, beforehand, you had to go through the complicated ordeal of inventing a fake publishing date for your novel.
And finally, you read "UNLIMITED FEMALE ATTENTION," and, I'll admit, it's scary to consider that kind of omnipotence, especially when the statement is paired with a little picture of a lipstick stain. The lipstick stain is the international symbol of both wearing a suit (aka being cool,) AND getting laid the night before, so it puts everything in perspective. This body wash is about to change your life, along with the course of humanity. Are you ready, guys? The revolution starts with AXE Excite.

Cromer Phlebotomy Service will be closed on Friday 31st January 2020 for training.
NHS England and NHS Improvement - East of England have been alerted to an issue whereby a patient appears to have been the victim of a scam relating to flu jabs.
The patient was contacted over the phone by a person purporting to be a GP working at their local GP practice and that, for a fee, the GP could attend their home to administer their flu jab. Unfortunately the patient gave out their bank account details and has sadly suffered a financial loss.
If someone claiming to be from the NHS contacts you by phone and asks for a payment, please be aware they could be a criminal trying to trick you. Most NHS services are free at the point of use and NHS professionals are very unlikely to ask for fees such as prescription charges by phone. We advise you not to share bank account details or other financial information unless you are sure of who you are talking to.
This is a free phone number from both landlines and mobile numbers.
Out-of-hours services are generally busy so please think carefully before asking to see a doctor and only do so if you genuinely cannot wait until the surgery re-opens.
As part of our work with North Norfolk Primary Care we are now able to offer improved access with evening and weekend appointments.
Please speak to reception regarding this new service we have available.
Please be aware if you are seen at another location the clinician will ask you for consent to see your medical records, shared through EDSM. Information about this can be found here
The official guide to North Walsham 2019-2020 has been updated and includes a large array of information for residents about local services and businesses.
You can even find our surgery on page 12

North Norfolk Primary Care is a GP alliance for North Norfolk. Formed of nineteen practices the goal is to make life in general practice enjoyable again and allow Primary Care to realise its true potential for patients. Around 350 self care/help videos are available for patients to look that will provide general information and may even save a clinical appointment. The videos cover a wide range of topics.

Can I just turn up and play with friends? There is often the option of a limited number of game slots each day for last minute bookings and walk-ins. You will need to arrive as early as possible on the day and reserve you slot for later that day, as these will be on a first-come, first-served basis. Alternatively, you might be lucky if you just turn up, but it is unlikely during busy periods. However, we STRONGLY recommend advance booking!

Apple has tweaked pricing on some accessories as well in other countries. For example, UK customers have seen price increases on the Apple Wireless Keyboard (£2), Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter (£4), and Cinema Display VESA Mount Adapter Kit (£4). More significant prices increases have come on replacement MacBook and MacBook Pro batteries (£8), and the Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter (£15).
Earlier this year, the Mac Mini's shipping estimates increased to 5-7 days on the Apple Online Store, leading to hope for a potential refresh, but they returned to normal a few days later without an update. Notably, the Mac Mini is still using Intel's last-generation Ivy Bridge processors, with the 2013 MacBook Air and recent iMac refresh using Intel's new Haswell processors, which contain features such as lower power usage, better performance, and increased battery life for laptops.
If Apple is to refresh the Mac Mini this year, it would potentially be a part of a number of updates to various products in its line, including a new line of iPads, a new Apple TV, and a new MacBook Pro with Intel's Haswell processors, as well as the company's dramatically redesigned Mac Pro. All products are expected to be refreshed in the following months before the end of the year.
Update: Contrary to the original report, Mac mini prices have not increased in Portugal.

The addiction to pornography can be incredibly strong and hard to break. But it is possible with God's grace. Have hope that you can do it. Read on for solid tips that will help you defeat pornography.
- Don't give up!
- The key to overcoming this addiction is perseverance.
- God will help you to persevere and help you all the more when you persevere.
- "God won't forgive me–I've fallen to this sin countless times and don't think I can stop."
- This is a lie. God will certainly forgive you if you repent and ask him to. Don't believe the lies. His mercy is greater than this lustful sin, period.
- "It's not that bad. Other men do far worse things than this."
- Wrong. It is that bad. You are degrading God's beautiful daughters and the gift of sexuality he gave you. And when you face God in your judgment, he won't ask you if you did less worse things than your next door neighbor. He will only ask what you have done, and you will have to answer for it.
- "I can handle watching TV when I want, and even if I see some women in immodest dress or in sexual situations, it doesn't really affect me."
- Oh really? If you're like me, this just ain't true.
- These images stick like glue in your mind and accrue, and inevitably those images will return to your mind and the seeds of temptation will be planted. You are not as strong as you think you are. The slightest temptation would overcome you if God did not help you, but he also requires we do our utmost to avoid these temptations. Turn off the TV except for movies you know are clean or special programs you want to watch, and only with someone you trust close by.
- Pray everyday.
- Are you tempted in the morning while lying in bed? Get up! Immediately when you wake up, ask the Virgin Mary to pray to God for you for the grace to protect and respect all of His daughters.
- Renew your resolutions to be pure throughout the day, and ask for the Holy Spirit to give strength to your resolutions.
- Thank God for giving you the grace to be pure at night.
- Make good friends who share in your beliefs and struggle against this manifestation of evil and spend time with them and your family.
- When the first tempting thoughts come into your mind, pray immediately for God to protect you and set your mind on another matter.
- If they persist, pray even more and keep trying to steer your mind to other things.
- Avoid idleness!
[magicactionbox id="9767″]
- If you feel a strong temptation, pray even more for help and grace, confess your weakness and nothingness to God, and your desire to be pure.
- If you are alone, go somewhere and meet up with friends or family, or go do something where you interact with people.
- Quickly go over in your mind why pornography and lust are evil, and why you do not want them.
- Make yourself accountable with a brother in Christ who also is striving to be pure.
- Pray with him, pray for him, everyday, and keep each other accountable for your actions.
- Within good judgment, tell him of your struggles and victories, and if you fall to temptation, let him know and ask for even more prayers.
- All of this is in addition to praying, receiving the Sacraments (if Catholic) and striving after God in your daily life.
Finally, pray for hope in overcoming this addiction. God CAN do it. He can do anything and regularly works miracles in peoples' lives who call upon him for help. He has worked wonders in my life to overcome this addiction, and if he can do it in me, he can do it in you. Satan wants you to despair, for when you despair, his work is made much easier, but our Lord never wants us to despair.
Game Plan for Purity
When I say I have "overcome this addiction", that doesn't mean that I am not tempted still. I am tempted almost everyday, and every minute and every hour of every day, I am vigilant over my heart and mind and eyes to protect my soul from impurity. I am always on guard against it and ready to fight it. As Jesus said, if the man knew at what time of night the thief would come to rob him, he would stay awake and be ready for him. We must do the same in this matter!.
I encourage you to learn more about the theology of the body. Learn about how beautifully God created sex and marriage, and how good it is to enjoy it as God intended it. God's Truth is the antidote for Satan's lies. We hear the lies 24/7 on the TV, the newspapers, and in the confused thoughts of people who have been duped by the world's perversion of God's greatest gifts.
Finally, if you're a single man, pray for your future wife everyday! Imagine the joy of getting to give yourself to her in purity, as a self-mastered man. Imagine the joy she will feel in being joined to a husband who has fought so hard to be pure–not perfect, but striving to be perfect. Imagine the goodness of being a man of purity for your children, teaching your daughters what to look for in a man, and being a model of true manhood for your sons.
Imagine looking deep into your holy and beautiful wife's eyes and telling her with passion, "My love, I've been so pure, for you."

Take the Catholics Conquer Porn Addiction course today to get armed with the weapons you need to overcome pornography.

When I was a little kid I consumed movies and shows about giant monsters and creatures destroying/defending big metropolis cities. Shows like The Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, Transformers and most specifically the Daikaiju movie series of Godzilla and Gamera. Watching these giant beasts absolutely demolish cities, my favourite moments were mostly when these giant monsters were fighting other giant monsters in this epic territorial battle.
Often I would have fantasies of all of these giant monsters all together in the one city – as their own boxing ring – to duke it out, Monsto e Monsto, and to find out once and for all, who the strongest and best of all of them was. But no movie I have ever seen has done this, so I guess I may never know.
That is until I played King of Tokyo.
King of Tokyo was designed by Richard Garfield, the creator of Magic: The Gathering, and it pits everyone, who controls their own gigantic Monster, such as Gigazaur (which is essentially the combination of Godzilla and Reptar, from Rugrats), The Kraken, The King (a cute name for what is clearly meant to be King Kong) – and many others – in the goal to be the last monster standing in the heart of Tokyo, or when Tokyo has been completely annihilated (when somebody reaches 20 Victory Points).
To do this, on each players turn they roll six dice, each side having a unique symbol representing different actions such as healing, gaining Victory Points getting energy cubes and attacking. You can reroll any number of these dice to a total of three dice rolls, after which the actions on the dice are carried out. At the start of the game, nobody starts in Tokyo, but as soon as someone rolls at least one Attack symbol they move into Tokyo.
There are pros and cons to being in Tokyo, however, such as when you first enter Tokyo you get a Victory Point, and for each of your turns that you start in Tokyo you get two Victory Points! The bad news is that you can't heal yourself by rolling Hearts in Tokyo. The good news is that when you're in Tokyo all of your attacks affect EVERY player that isn't in Tokyo. However, all the attacks every other player not in Tokyo is directed to – you guessed it – the Monster(s) in Tokyo! There can be more than one monster in Tokyo, but only when there are 5 or 6 active monsters playing, they may inhabit and attack Tokyo from Tokyo Bay!
So, what's the fail safe if it gets too hot in Tokyo? How can you leave Tokyo? The only way to leave Tokyo is to yield it to the Monster attacking you; they attack you, you take the damage, it hurt a bit more than you care to admit, and you forfeit the city with your spiked tail between your legs and you let the monster who attacked you take your place.
You may be asking, how do you get an advantage over the other players if you're all on the same playing field, rolling the same dice? The answer lies within the Action Cards that anyone can purchase with the Energy Cubes gained from rolling the Energy symbol on the dice. Action Cards adds a whole level of strategy to your actions such as poisoning other Monsters when you attack, or just gaining Victory Points.
You can also spend two cubes on your turn to discard the Action Cards in the available pool and draw new ones. Which is also a good strategy if there's a good card you aren't able to acquire, but preventing other players from getting it too would be just as advantageous.
Play continues clockwise until one Monster is left standing, or has reached 20 Victory Points, and is declared the King of Tokyo!
As far as game mechanics go, it is one of the most easiest games to learn and to teach others, just like with the previous games we've reviewed in Casual Games for Casual Gamers, Dixit and Tsuro, I just hand over the dice to the new people, tell them what each die action does and tell them to start rolling, not even taking longer than 2 minutes to get the game going. And gameplay doesn't take that long either, with just two people playing, you'd be looking at a 5-10 minute game, and with six players, just 30 minutes.
To exemplify how simple the game is you'll rarely ever have to check the rulebook for gameplay discrepancies, because the game is so straightforward. The only time I check the rulebook is usually to relearn what happens when there are two people in Tokyo and what that entails, but that usually just comes from not playing this game as much as I probably should.
Because I love this game, it's a great game to play when you're waiting for your friends to arrive to your games night or even play to just kill some time when you and your family are bored. It's simple, it's easy, there's barely any strategy involved, because your strategy is basically revolved around your first dice roll on your turn and deciding what dice you want to keep and what dice you want to reroll. The only time spent reading is when you have a few Action Cards giving you an advantage, which can sometimes dictate your strategy, but doesn't deter too much from the gameplay experience.
King of Tokyo is a lot of fun but for some people it may not scratch that itch for board games because of how light it is. If you feel the game could do with more depth, such as character abilities, the Power Up! expansion is always an option.
This expansion adds a deck of cards to each monster giving each one a more thematic power up more related to their Monster. They work exactly the same as Action Cards and as such makes for strategy to play the Monster that suits each player's play-style.
Overall, King of Tokyo is one of the most fun casual board games I've ever played because of how quick and easy it is to both teach and learn, I've even used it as an infection setter to get people into board games. For example, after one games night with a couple of friends, one of which is obsessed with Monopoly and doesn't play much else, and the other is a bit more reluctant to play board games, they both finished playing the game wanting to know where they could get it from and the reluctant gamer even said "I never knew board games could be so much fun!"
King of Tokyo is the King of the Monster games.

Mannatech and Founder Agree to Pay $7 Million
to Settle Texas Attorney General Charges
Stephen Barrett, M.D.
In February 2009, Mannatech, Inc. and its founder and former chief executive officer, Samuel L. Caster, reached agreements to resolve a complaint by the Attorney General of Texas. The complaint, filed in 2007, charged Mannatech and Caster with orchestrating an unlawful marketing scheme that exaggerated their products' health benefits [1]. It alleged:
- Marketing materials falsely claimed that Mannatech's dietary supplements could cure and treat Down Syndrome, cystic fibrosis, cancer, and other serious illnesses.
- Mannatech encouraged their salespersons' false statements by allowing sellers to continue utilizing various sales tools, brochures, videotapes, and personalized Web sites that exaggerate the supplements' effectiveness.
- Mannatech encourage product user "testimonials" that tout their supplements' alleged healing effects. The testimonials, along with misleading "before and after" photos, were displayed prominently in seminar booths, brochures, videos, sales associates' personal Web sites, and training materials.
- Together, these marketing techniques misled consumers into believing that the supplements dramatically cure or treat serious illnesses.
Under the settlement:
- Mannatech will pay $6 million to the State of Texas. Of this, $2 million is designated as attorneys fees and investigative costs and the remainder will be placed in a fund from which Texas customers can obtain restitution [2].
- Mannatech will implement a comprehensive monitoring and compliance program that will monitor sales associates' statements about Mannatech's products and will not advertise or otherwise claim that its dietary supplements can cure, treat, mitigate, or prevent disease [2].
- Caster will pay a $1 million civil penalty and cannot serve as an officer, director, or employee of Mannatech for the next five years [3].
- Plaintiff's original petition. State of Texas vs. Mannatech Incorporated, Manna Relief Ministries, The Fisher Institute, Samuel L. Caster, and Reginald McDaniel. District Court of Travis County, Texas Cause No. D-1-GV-07-001386. Filed July 5, 2007.
- Final judgment and agreed permanent injunction against Mannatech Incorporated. State of Texas v. Mannatech et al. District Court of Travis County, Texas, Cause No. D-1-GV-07-001386. Filed Feb 26, 2009.
- Final judgment and agreed permanent injunction against Samuel L. Caster. State of Texas v. Mannatech et al. District Court of Travis County, Texas, Cause No. D-1-GV-07-001386. Filed Feb 26, 2009.

Authors: Lauren Pulling
Researchers from the University of California (UC; CA, USA) have demonstrated that protein abnormalities in the endocytic pathway may be linked to the axonal dysfunction and degeneration seen in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Down Syndrome (DS).
AD and DS are characterized by amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles; however, these manifestations are not detectable until the later stages of the disease. Some researchers believe that for successful treatment earlier disease characteristics must be targeted. Previous studies have highlighted dysfunction in the endocytic pathway as a precursor to AD, though the cause of this has not been identified.
This new study, published recently in the Journal of Clinical Investigation, indicates that abnormally active Rab5 may result in enlarged endosomes and contribute to abnormal endocytic processes, leading to the onset of dementia and appearance of typical AD pathologies.
The team demonstrated that an increased accumulation of amyloid precursor protein (APP) in neurons increases Rab5 activation, leading to early endosome enlargement. This results in disruption of retrograde axonal transport of NGF, which is thought to cause functional abnormalities in affected neurons.
The functional impacts of APP accumulation on the endocytic pathway and the ensuing decline in NGF signaling and axonal trafficking were observed in cultured PC12 cells, as well as cultured rat basal forebrain cholinergic neurons and basal forebrain cholinergic neurons from a DS mouse model.
Interestingly, the researchers also demonstrated that when a dominant-negative Rab5 mutant construct is expressed in Drosophila, APP-induced axonal blockage was significantly reduced.
They conclude that increased APP may impact the endocytic pathway to disrupt trophic signaling, resulting in axonal dysfunction.
Chengbiao Wu, UC San Diego School of Medicine (CA, USA), commented: "Our current study highlights the significance of abnormally active Rab5 protein as a key contributor to early development of [AD]. We believe this will open new possibilities for understanding the disease and for developing novel and effective therapies."

Sir Michael Lyons was commissioned by Gordon Brown to look into moving the workers out of London to the regions.
The chancellor confirmed the move in his reaction to the report when he delivered his Budget on Wednesday.
Last month Tony Blair outlined his vision of a reformed civil service driving, not inhibiting, change.
Sir Michael, who is director of the University of Birmingham's Institute of Local Government Studies, argued relocating key services out the capital would achieve a better regional balance of government activity.
He also recommended 7,000 jobs be shed.
He said: "I believe that a new pattern of government service will contribute significantly to the government's policies for the reform of public services, improving regional growth, national competitiveness and devolution.
"Government needs to take firm action to recast the pattern of its business in a way that better meets the needs of the nation in the new century."
Jonathan Baume, who leads the First Division Association representing top civil servants, said any relocation needed to be "very carefully managed" to avoid disruption to individual employees and their families.
"There is also no excuse for compulsory redundancies at any levels of the service as a consequence of these proposals," he added.
"We welcome the acknowledgement that major dispersals require considerable
initial investment, and that any savings will only come in the long term."
In his speech in February Mr Blair said the civil service needed to "encourage and reward lateral thinking".
"It needs to reward civil servants who look outwards for learning rather than up the hierarchy for approval," the prime minister said.
Mr Blair also called for an assessment of the regulatory burden of any new piece of legislation.
80,000 job cuts?
"For civil servants and ministers regulation often appears costless but for those delivering on the frontline in schools or hospitals or in small businesses it is not."
He added: "The world has changed and the civil
service must change with it."
Also in February, a review commissioned to look for greater efficiency in government suggested £15bn could be saved each year.
Sir Peter Gershon, head of the office of government commerce (OGC), came up with proposals which could see the number of civil servants cut by 80,000.
The Tories and Liberal Democrats have also outlined plans to shake-up the civil service and save money.
Newcastle, Sheffield, Bristol and Liverpool are among the places that could benefit from Sir Michael's relocation proposals.
