Taco Bell Waffle Tacos Are Coming to Make You Fatter
Taco Bell recently changed America's taco calculus by offering Doritos-flavored shells.
Their next move appears to be far more radical. Fast food fans in Southern California are reporting the presence of waffle tacos on the menu at some local Taco Bell franchises. The item, which goes for 89 cents, features a waffle folded around sausage and scrambled eggs. Syrup comes on the side.
Early reviews have been positive and in hashtag form. #itsdelicious posted Instagram user Sarah1ch5, alongside a picture of the new offering.
At this point the waffle taco is only available in breakfast form and before 11 AM. But given that waffles famously go well with later-in-the-day meats such as chicken, we'd imagine there is some kind of waffle and seasoned ground beef experimentation going on in the Taco Bell labs.
If you don't live in the LA-area there's no timeline (or guarantee) for when the Waffle Taco will hit your town.
Are you looking forward to this latest fast food monstrosity, er, creation?

Welcome to our travel tips page. Here you'll find loads of useful info to help get you prepared before setting off your tip
Start with your holiday package by choosing a guided tour package. It's the best way to travel with family because all the details are pre-planned for you. This is especially important if you are not keen on researching destinations yourself.
For those who do pre-plan, take some time to create a complete itinerary following some research on the destination you are visiting. Pay special attention to special festivals, weather, and political climate when you are working on the itinerary. This provides space for back up plans in case of unforeseen travel problems.
The itinerary also ensures that everything is planned based on what you/ your family wants to see and experience. Just make sure all the activities are something worth trying and gives you and your fellow travellers a new dimension of the places visited.
If you are travelling on a budget then you should plan with flight, ground arrangements, passport, visa, meals, transport, shopping and contingency cash for emergency.
Make sure you apply for vacation days which include a day's rest after your return to cope with fatigue or jet lag if you're flying. Furthermore ensure all your travel documents are confirmed 3-4 working days before the travel date to ensure any last minute changes can still be accommodated.
As for packing, it is essential to pack what you need with consideration for the shopping you plan to do at your holiday destination. If you're travelling with family and kids, ensure the needs of the elders and children are itemized and packed to avoid discomfort or tantrums.
Most importantly, it is vital to inform your close relatives/ friends of your travel. It would be good to arrange for house/ pet sitting while you're away. Lastly, call your bank and let them know that you are travelling and there will be large amount of purchases with the debit or credit card.
You should be up to date on routine vaccinations while travelling to any destination. Some vaccines may also be required for travel. These vaccines include measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine, diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis vaccine, varicella (chickenpox) vaccine, polio vaccine, and your yearly flu shot. Latest updates on vaccinations can be obtained from your local clinic or hospital.
Please take note that visa requirements for certain countries may change from time to time. It is advisable that you check with your travel agent or directly with destination country's Embassy or High Commission in Malaysia before booking a holiday.
What sort of protection/coverage does a travel insurance covers you? Some of the coverage that you should expect is as below:
- Personal Accident
- Medical Expenses
- Loss of Luggage & Personal Effect
- Loss of Travel Documents
- Baggage Delay
- Travel Delay
- Missed Departure
- Flight Overbooked
- Hijack Inconvenience
- Travel Cancellation
- Loss of Money/ Valuables
….and other types of coverage as well.
Here are other examples that might NOT be covered in travel insurance:
- Declared or undeclared war or any act of war, invasion, act of foreign enemy, and other war terms
- Loss or destruction of goods due to radiation
- Suicide/Self harm/ or any intentional acts by the insured person that provoked homicide or assault personnel or military personnel of any country or international authority, whether full-time service or as a volunteer
- The Insured Person engaging in, practising for or taking part in training in any speed contest, any professional competition or sports, and participating in Hazardous adventure
For more information on the inclusions & exclusions of travel insurance coverage, contact your travel agent.
On your travel day, make a list of the things that you need to bring along- luggage, passport and tickets. Also, mark all your bags inside and out with your name and address – both home address and your holiday address. To be on the safe side, weigh your bags to ensure you don't exceed the baggage requirements of the airline. Travel insurance is becoming a must, so do consider getting one because you do not have to worry if your bags are lost or if your flight has been cancelled or even if your passport and wallet is stolen. It is always best to get yourself and your family covered as mishaps do happen when travelling.
You do know that it is possible to travel with hand-luggage only, rite? Just that you will need to know the airline rules for carrying liquids, otherwise you may have to remove them at the security checkpoint! In order to handle jet lags, stay hydrated by drinking lots of plain water during the flight. Avoid tea and coffee.
Gather required documents before your flight as you are responsible to present as required, documents by the relevant authorities at all entry and exit lanes, health and other documents required by law, regulations, order, demands or requirements of the countries flown from, into or over.
Self-check-in is free, simple & quick! It will save your time at airport! Otherwise, counter check-in opens 3 hours before the scheduled time of departure and closes 1 hour before the scheduled time of departure. Note: Check-in deadlines may vary at different airports and for particular flights. Airport has long queues due to complex security checks. We suggest that you check-in early and proceed immediately to the departure gate or you may risk being left behind in security.
Pre-book your checked baggage to save money and time. Each piece/item of checked baggage has to weigh less than 30kg. Guests may not combine their checked baggage weight with other guests unless travelling in the same booking.
For, baggage drop counter, it opens 3 hours before the scheduled time of departure and closes 45 minutes before the scheduled time of departure. Guests are required to hold a boarding pass to use our baggage drop counters.
Bringing liquids are subject to the prevalent applicable local laws and regulations guests may take liquids on board in their cabin baggage with a maximum volume of 100 ml. The items must be placed in a transparent, re-sealable plastic bag.
For boarding time, guests are required to be at the boarding gate at least 20 minutes before the scheduled time of departure or you will be denied boarding.
- Ensure you have a reliable GPS system and location maps in the car. Sometimes, you can't rely totally on GPS and the local location maps come in handy.
- Pack enough liquids/water and snacks in the car as some stretches are long and do not have halfway stops.
- Try to reach your destination before dark as most stretches are either forests or farms where street lights are minimal in the countryside.
- Plan some games, pack short story books or sing along rhymes if you travel with kids.
- Umbrellas are great in case there are light drizzles or rain.
- Always ensure your tank is full and refill before it reaches quarter tank as it is not easy to find another petrol station nearby. You never know if you have gotten on the wrong track/trail or got lost.
- Buy insurance coverage for the driver and passengers.
When you are overseas/ holiday destination, do call your close relatives/ friends to let them know you have arrived safely and keep them updated of where you are if you are moving around. Make sure to always keep your luggage locked when leaving them behind in the hotel. Carry your passport with you and ensure you don't carry excessive cash that might attract attention. If you are taking a self drive holiday, make sure you collect the car from the airport and get a GPS.
When you are abroad and if you want to try something local, make sure it is a recommendation from a trustworthy source. To make life easier, get a local map and identify the tourist info centres. Moreover for safety precautions, avoid walking alone at night or in dark areas and beware of pickpockets whose modus operandi is by distracting you. Also, if you drive, follow the local traffic rules and avoid driving at night.
Before your return flight, do confirm your flight details in case of delays or cancellations. It is best to ensure that you have all travel documents prepared and easily accessible for check in. Always plan your packing and don't do too much last minute shopping that can't fit your luggage. Keep track with the luggage requirements of the country you're visiting in mind.
Do not forget to remind your close relatives/ friends of your return and make arrangements for an airport pick up. Keep track of all your valuables and make sure that they are in your hand- wallet, passport, camera, watch, jewellery.
Last but not least, make sure you are at the airport two hours (or 3-4 hours in some countries) earlier to avoid missing the flight.

It is the ambition of many people to run their own business but there are many issues and pitfalls to consider. What issues should you consider when setting up in business?
What issues should you consider when setting up in business? If you are starting, or have recently started a business in the Norwich area we, at externalaccounts, can help you with appropriate and professional advice.
It is the ambition of many people to run their own business. Some may have been made redundant and find themselves with free time and financial resources. Others make the decision to start up in business to be more independent and obtain the full financial reward for their efforts.
Whatever the reason, a number of dangers exist. Probably the greatest concern is the possibility of business failure.
Read on for guidance on some of the factors which need to be considered before trading begins.
This factsheet cannot cater for every possibility and any decisions should be supported by professional advice.
In order to make your business a success there are a number of key factors which should be considered:
In addition to these general considerations there are a number of more specific matters.
The business plan is the key to success. If you need finance, no bank manager will lend money without a sensible plan.
Your plan should provide a thorough examination of the way in which the business will commence and develop. It should describe the business, product or service, market, mode of operation, capital requirements and projected financial results.
There are three common types of business structure:
The appropriate structure will depend on a number of factors, including consideration of taxation implications, the legal entity, ownership and liability.
There are minimum requirements for the contents of business stationery, both paper and electronic, which will depend on the type of business structure.
All businesses need to keep records. They can be maintained by hand or may be computerised but should contain details of payments, receipts, credit purchases and sales, assets and liabilities. If you are considering purchasing computer software to maintain your records, obtain professional advice.
The books and records are used to produce the accounts. If the records are well kept it will be easier to put together the accounts. Accounts must be prepared for HMRC and if a company is formed there are strict legal requirements as to their layout. The accounts and company tax return must be submitted electronically to HMRC in a specific format (iXBRL).
A company and a LLP may need to have an audit and will need to make the accounts publicly available by filing them at Companies House within a strict time limit.
When starting in business, taxation aspects must be considered.
When starting a business you should consider the need to register for VAT. If the value of your taxable sales or services exceeds the registration limit you will be obliged to register. If you are submitting VAT returns you will also need to consider appropriate software to ensure that you comply with the Making Tax Digital requirements.
For the business to get off the ground or to enable expansion, it may be necessary to employ staff.
It is the employer's responsibility to advise HMRC of the wages due to employees and to deduct income tax and national insurance and to account for student loan deductions under PAYE. The deductions must then be paid over to HMRC. Payroll records should be carefully maintained.
Under Real Time Information an employer must advise HMRC of wages and deductions 'on or before' the time they are paid over to the employee.
Employers are also required to automatically enrol all eligible employees in a pension scheme and to make contributions to that scheme on their behalf. Enrolment may be either into an occupational pension scheme or the National Employment Savings Trust (NEST).
You will also need to be familiar with employment law.
There are many pitfalls to be avoided in choosing a property. Consideration should be given to the following:
Comprehensive insurance for business motor vehicles and employer's liability insurance are a legal requirement. Other types of insurance such as public liability, consequential loss, business assets, Keyman and bad debts should be considered.
Putting money into a pension scheme can be a way of saving for retirement because of the favourable tax rules.
Whilst some generalisation can be made about starting up a business, it is always necessary to tailor the strategy to fit your situation. Any plan must take account of your circumstances and aspirations.
Whilst business success can never be guaranteed, professional advice can help to avoid some of the problems which befall new businesses.
We would welcome the opportunity to assist you in formulating a strategy suitable for your own requirements. We can also provide key services such as bookkeeping, management accounts, VAT return and payroll preparation at an early stage.
If you are starting, or have recently started a business in the Norwich area contact us at externalaccounts to find out more about our services.

Teams of workers are mobilizing in the Gulf of Mexico to try to stem a natural gas leak at an offshore drilling rig that exploded and caught fire Tuesday. The rig off the Louisiana coast has been partially destroyed by the out of control blaze, and firefighting boats are on the scene.
While that might call to mind images of the BP oil disaster in 2010, experts say the incidents are vastly different.
Chris Reddy, an oil spill expert and chemist from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute, was among the scientists who followed the fate of the BP spill, when the Deepwater Horizon oil rig blew up and leaked millions of gallons of oil into the Gulf.
Reddy says that while deep-sea gas reservoirs may sometimes contain oil, it's highly unlikely the accident at Well A-3 adjacent to a "Hercules 265 jack-up rig" would leak anything like the BP spill.
Observers reported seeing a thin sheen on the ocean surface Tuesday. But the latest reports from the federal Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement say the sheen has since dissipated — unlike the vast stretches of sheen from the BP spill that fouled fragile marshlands along the Gulf Coast.
The lack of sheen suggests the only thing crews have to deal with is leaking gas, according to Tadeusz Patzek, a petroleum engineer at the University of Texas, Austin.
A lot of reservoirs in the Gulf of Mexico are gas-rich or gas-only, Patzek explains. Many wells produce both gas and "hydrocarbon liquids" such as ethane, propane and butane. These liquids can form a sheen on the water's surface but are quick to evaporate.
That's especially true with hot weather and windy conditions, Reddy notes. "These thin light sheens they are seeing, they can go away relatively quickly," he says.
So far, bureau officials say they haven't determined how the gas leak started or where it is. With the platform still on fire, repair crews can't yet get close enough to investigate. A spokesperson for the agency says beams supporting some of the rig have collapsed.
The jack-up rig is owned by Hercules Offshore, which is based in Houston, and the well is owned by Walter Oil & Gas. The Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement reports that the well platform and rig are located 55 miles offshore in 154 feet of water. Tuesday's blowout occurred while workers were constructing a "sidetrack well" to connect with an existing well bore that extends down to the seafloor.
One way to stem the flow of natural gas is to drill a relief well — a standard emergency measure to stop uncontrolled flows from oil and gas wells.
BP drilled relief wells during the Deepwater Horizon spill. These are drilled into the seafloor and then toward the original well, which they intercept to divert the flow into new, secure wells. With BP's Macondo well, that process took months.
Patzek says if the gas rupture is at the platform, engineers won't have to drill relief wells into the seabed to divert the flow and extinguish the rig fire. Instead, they'll just need to deprive the flames of oxygen on the platform.
"Gas is gas," Patzek says. "You need to snuff it out by whatever means possible." That would be a combination of water and foam, the same sort of firefighting technique used for oil rigs that are on fire. Once they find the source of the leak, they can plug it or divert the flow through new pipes.
If the break is on the seafloor where the well bore penetrates the earth, gas could be flowing into the ocean. But natural gas is mostly made up of methane, and in deep wells, the methane would most likely dissolve before it gets to the surface.
Once dissolved, it's eaten by bacteria. "Methane is the best thing they can eat," Patzek says.
In the Deepwater Horizon accident, lots of natural gas as well as oil escaped into the water before the Macondo well was capped. Scientists determined that methane-eating microbes degraded much of that gas without evidence of serious harm to the environment.
And, of course, natural gas is easier to deal with than oil, since it doesn't float on the surface and foul beaches or animals.
"This is no Macondo oil spill," Patzek says.

When a woman drinks heavily during pregnancy, it can cause profound damage to her unborn child.
Nobody knows how much alcohol, if any, is safe, so the U.S. surgeon general and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention advise women to abstain from drinking throughout pregnancy to avoid physical and mental birth defects.
But here and elsewhere, even conscientious pregnant women have been known to have an occasional beer or glass of wine while carrying a child. How risky is that?
Research funded by the CDC and conducted in Denmark is shedding some light on the question, though there's no definitive answer just yet. Still, the results suggest that light drinking (one to four drinks a week) and even moderate imbibing (five to eight drinks) may be OK. Even occasional binge drinking (five or more drinks in a single session) didn't appear to be tied to developmental issues.
The researchers measured the IQs, attention spans and decision-making of more than 1,600 5-year-olds and compared them with the drinking habits of the moms in early pregnancy. The women were asked about their drinking and underwent a battery of psychological tests when their kids were 5, too.
In case you are wondering, women in Denmark didn't generally consider drinking a little during pregnancy to be a health concern at the time the data for the study were collected (2003 to 2008).
There was a wide range of drinking behavior, with a little less than half of women refraining from alcohol. The next biggest group had 1-4 drinks a week. About 175 women had 5 to 8 drinks a week. Only 20 of them drank 9 or more alcoholic beverages in a week.
So what's the bottom line? The researchers wrote:
"We found no significant association of low to moderate average weekly alcohol consumption, and any binge drinking, during early to mid pregnancy with the neurodevelopment of children at the age of 5 years."
Now there are lots of caveats, as the researchers note in a collection of papers just published in BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics & Gynaecology. It's possible, for instance, that the testing didn't detect subtle changes in the development of the kids. Or it might be that some alcohol-related changes might not become apparent until later in life.
While the findings are reassuring, they shouldn't be read as a free pass for drinking while pregnant. "The danger of it is that people consider it definitive research and definitive reassurance that any alcohol use, including binge drinking, during pregnancy is innocuous," says Janet Williams, a pediatrician at the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio.
Alcohol, she tells Shots, is generally recognized as the No. 1 preventable cause of birth abnormalities, ranging from physical to cognitive problems. And these new papers prompt more questions than answers, she says. "The safest conclusion is that no drinking causes no fetal alcohol effects," says Williams, the immediate past chair of the American Academy of Pediatrics' committee on substance abuse.
The Danish researchers concur, writing that "it remains the most conservative advice for women to abstain from alcohol during pregnancy." But, they also say, "small quantities consumed occasionally in pregnancy do not appear to pose serious issues" for the key areas of neurological development they investigated.

Booting the Installation
This chapter will explain how to boot the installer from local media or a network server as well as how to navigate the boot menu and use custom options.
Preparing to Boot
After you have made a bootable USB flash drive or a CD or DVD using the steps described in Preparing Boot Media, you are ready to boot the installation. Note that the steps described below are generic and the exact steps will vary somewhat depending on your system - particularly on your motherboard manufacturer.
There are no separate media provided for BIOS and UEFI systems; all of them can boot from the same ISO image. However, once you install Fedora, you can not switch between UEFI and BIOS. The system must run on the same firmware it was installed on; if you, for example, perform the installation on an UEFI system in UEFI mode, and then switch it to BIOS compatibility mode, Fedora will no longer boot and will require a reinstallation. |
Fedora does not support UEFI booting for 32-bit x86 systems. Only BIOS boot is supported on these systems. Also note that Fedora only fully supports version 2.2 of the UEFI specification. Hardware that supports version 2.3 or later will boot and work normally, but the additional functionality defined by these later specifications will not be available. The UEFI specifications are available from http://www.uefi.org/specs/agreement/. |
To boot the Fedora installer, follow these steps:
Plug in the boot USB drive, or insert the boot CD or DVD into your computer's optical disc drive. Alternatively, if you plan on booting from a network boot (PXE) server, make sure that the network cable is plugged in.
Restart the system. Once it starts rebooting, it should display a prompt similar to the following (usually at the bottom of the screen):
Press F12 to select boot device, or Del to enter SETUP
Follow the on-screen instructions to access the boot menu. If no instructions are displayed (some systems only display a graphical logo during early stages of boot), try pressing F12, F11, F10 or Del several times; these are most commonly used keys. Note that there is usually a very short time window provided to access the menu; once it passes, you need to restart the system and try again.
Some older systems may not support choosing a boot device at startup. In that case, enter the system's SETUP (BIOS), and change the default boot order so that your boot media (CD, DVD, USB or network) has higher priority than internal hard drives.
On Mac hardware, hold down the Option key to enter the boot media selection menu.
When your system's boot menu opens, select an entry such as
Boot from USB
if you created a bootable USB drive,Boot from CD/DVD
if you are using an optical disc to install Fedora, orBoot from PXE
if you want to boot from a network location. -
Wait until the boot menu is displayed. The boot menu is described further in this chapter.
The Boot Menu
In most cases, when you boot the Fedora installer from your prepared boot media or server, the boot menu will be the first thing that appears. From this menu, you can either start the actual installation, or you can use the boot media to rescue an existing system.
The way the boot menu will look and function will vary somewhat depending on your system's firmware - BIOS systems use the SYSLINUX boot loader, and UEFI systems use GRUB2. However, both of the menus described below function very similarly from a user's point of view.
Use arrow keys to select an entry in the menu, and Enter to confirm your selection. The first two entries in the list will both proceed with the installation; the first one will start the installer directly, and the second one will verify the integrity of the boot media before starting the installation.
The final entry in the list is Troubleshooting
; this is a submenu. Selecting this entry and pressing Enter will display a new set of selections, where you can choose to install in basic graphics mode (useful if you want to do a manual graphical installation but your system has issues with the default graphical installer), rescue an existing system, or test your system's memory modules for errors (on BIOS systems only). The troubleshooting menu also allows you to exit the boot menu and boot normally from your system's hard drive via the Boot from local drive
Every menu entry in the list is a predefined set of boot options, and these options can be customized to change some aspects of the installer's behavior. To edit the default set of boot options, press Tab on BIOS systems, or e on UEFI systems. The key to use is also displayed at the bottom of the screen.
Editing boot options in GRUB2 (on UEFI systems) will display the entire configuration for the selected entry. Actual boot options are configured on the line which starts with the On systems with BIOS firmware, only the actual boot options are displayed when you press Tab. |
When editing the default set of options, you can change the existing ones as well as append additional ones. Once you finish, press Enter on BIOS or Ctrl+X on UEFI to boot the installer using your customized options.
All available Anaconda boot options are described in Available Boot Options.

Update: At 6 a.m. ET. Jan. 10, White House Announcement:
The White House has officially confirmed that President Obama will nominate his chief of staff, Jacob "Jack" Lew, to be the next Treasury secretary. According to a statement, the announcement is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. ET today (Thursday).
NPR's Scott Horsley had more about the nomination on Morning Edition.

Our original post:
White House Chief of Staff Jack Lew, as expected, is President Obama's choice to be the next treasury secretary, both Bloomberg News and The Associated Press are reporting.
Bloomberg, which broke the story, says it's getting that word from "a person familiar with the process" and that the announcement will be made Thursday. The AP is citing "sources." NPR has not independently confirmed the news.
Lew would replace Timothy Geithner, who earlier announced that he wants to leave the administration early in the president's second term.
The 57-year-old Lew, as NPR's Mara Liasson reported in December, "has had years of experience toiling in the fiscal trenches. ... Before he was White House chief of staff, Lew was Obama's budget director — a job he'd also held in the Clinton White House. After serving in the Clinton administration, Lew followed the well-worn path from White House to Wall Street."
Bloomberg wraps up his resume this way:
"As a former aide to the late House Speaker Tip O'Neill, a Massachusetts Democrat, and a two-time director of the Office of Management and Budget, Lew has experience on both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue. He's spent most of his career in government, with a brief detour to Wall Street, where he worked as a managing director for Citigroup from July 2006 until joining the administration when Obama first took office."
The other choices the president has announced for top posts:
-- Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., to be secretary of state.
-- Former Sen. Chuck Hagel, R-Neb., to be secretary of defense.
-- Counterterrorism adviser John Brennan to be CIA director.

"I'm not going to change my style. I'm going to add some new tricks to my style, but as far as my heart and my will and the spirit that I bring into the cage, that's never going to change." - Joey Beltran
Every fight card features a familiar collection of stories: newcomers who can't contain their excitement about finally being called to the biggest stage in the sport, veterans who are certain that this fight will be when they start their final push to challenge for that ever-elusive championship, the emerging prospects on the brink of contention, and the champions determined to let nothing prevent them from holding on to the 12 pounds of gold they'll walk to the cage with in the main event.
Quite frequently, there is also the returning fighter – a veteran who has already had a taste of life in the UFC, and is back for seconds after a brief hiatus. Their stories are usually an amalgamation of the newcomer and the veteran – more excited than words can explain about the chance to compete on the biggest stage once again and more prepared to make the most of the opportunity this time around.
Many times, those fighters and those stories tend to focus on the future – what they intend to make of their second chance, and how this time is going to be different. Rarely does anyone talk about the time in between, the gap between stints on the big stage, and the flood of uncertainty and doubt washes over a fighter during that period.
Wednesday night in San Jose, Joey Beltran will be making his return to the UFC, this time as a light heavyweight, stepping up on short notice to take on James Te Huna in the co-main event of the organization's latest fight card on FUEL TV.
After amassing a 3-4 record through seven appearances in the Octagon as a heavyweight, Beltran was released from the organization after suffering a nasty knockout loss to Lavar Johnson back in January. In advance of his return, "The Mexicutioner" opened up about the difficult times he endured and choices he faced during his time away from the bright lights and bigger paychecks of the UFC.
"There's definitely a lot of soul-searching that happens, especially when for so long you were supporting your family, and now all of a sudden the checks are – they're not cut in half, they're cut into a fraction of what they once were. I owe a lot to my wife; she really picked up the ball and ran when I fumbled, and put me on her back in many ways.
"After the Lavar Johnson fight, it was probably one of the hardest times in my life," explained Beltran, who earned back-to-back wins to begin his UFC career before dropping four of his final five appearances. "I definitely slipped into a heavy, heavy depression, and I actually probably didn't leave my house for two weeks. It sucked. I was left with so many questions, regrets, and feeling real bummed, beating myself up, kicking the can around every day. But my wife was there every day encouraging me and being patient, allowing me to go through that process; same with my coaches.
"As far as the hardships," Beltran continued, "financially is probably the biggest one. You go through, "Well s**t — should I really be training six or eight hours a day or should I go get a job?" A "real job" as they say – a 9:00 to 5:00. I'm still the man of the house, and I need to provide for my family, so do I go get a job or do I keep pluggin' away at this dream?
"Then I just made a decision that I'm not going to quit; I'm not going to retire. This is my job – my family needs me, and I need to continue fighting for my sanity. If I'm going to retire, I'm not going to go out on a loss, so I gave myself at least one fight."
Having decided to continue fighting, the next career question Beltran had to answer is which division he would call home?
Beltran had always been a heavyweight by nature. Standing six-foot-one, he was never the guy who had to worry about cutting weight to get below the 265-pound ceiling for the division. He'd lose a little weight during camp, but more or less, he fought close to his walking around weight, and he'd been successful up until his final few bouts in the UFC. But the way his first stint in the UFC ended got Beltran thinking about making a change.
"Losing four out of five fights, regardless of if they were all entertaining or not, that doesn't cut the mustard in the UFC. There was no hard feelings, no ill will, and I knew once I got out of my depression that I had to change the game, flip the script, and come back with something brand new. I knew that that was going to be the drop to 205.
"That gave me something to work for even though I was medically suspended. I couldn't spar, I couldn't really train the way I enjoy training, but I still had a goal to work for, and I made a commitment to do a test cut to 205. That went pretty well; it was a little rough, but I made it."
He picked up a decision win over former Ohio State wrestler Anton Talamantes in March, controlling the action throughout, gaining confidence in his decision to move down to light heavyweight in the process, even if his new weight class doesn't come with as tasty a menu as he was accustomed to in the past.
"After the first cut, I stayed right around 225, and it's been really, really easy. I've actually been fortunate enough that I don't have to do any of the horrible sauna cuts; I do it really easy with just dieting. Up until the last five days, I pretty much each as much as I want, I just have strict ingredients that I can eat. I can eat as much spinach as I want (laughs), but you know, whatever. I will admit this though: after eating clean for so long, you really do feel crappy when you fall back to old patterns. For me, it really showed me like, "Damn! This really was garbage that I was putting my body for so long and then going out and fighting."
"I definitely feel as strong, if not stronger, at this weight," Beltran continued in his breakdown of the changes to his game since relocating to the light heavyweight division. "To be honest with you, the athleticism hasn't picked up dramatically, but that will come with time through all of the explosive drills and agility drills that my strength and conditioning coach has been working with me on. That will come, but right off the get-go my cardio has gone through the roof, and my hand-speed has picked up for sure. As far as can I still take a punch, can I still throw wallops? Yeah, for sure, it's all good man. I don't think that will ever go."
After getting back into the win column in March in his debut as a 205-pound fighter, Beltran was putting in time in the gym, on the lookout for another competitive matchup on the regional circuit when the injury bug started attacking the UFC's summer schedule, and an opportunity for a teammate created an opening for Beltran to make his return to the UFC.
"It was actually Brandon (Vera) who shot me the text to let me know the good news," Beltran explained with a laugh. "They had all come back from Vegas — that's another thing too (laughing): I was basically all alone for this process. Not all alone, but my teammates were all in Vegas, my normal coaching staff were all in Vegas for The Ultimate Fighter supporting Dominick Cruz in that venture, so I had to stay in California. I started getting some workouts in with Mark Munoz and all the great crew of fighters and coaches over there at Reign Training Center. I owe a debt of gratitude to Mark for opening the doors, and welcoming me with open arms over there at his gym.
"Brandon had been back for about two weeks, and he and I had been going hard training, and he was giving me compliments on how much I'd improved, especially in my standup and technically. I think that might have been part of it; I was fresh in his head."
The UFC tabbed Vera to replace Thiago Silva in a matchup with former light heavyweight champion Mauricio "Shogun" Rua atop the August UFC on FOX fight card. Accepting the offer left Vera's original opponent in need of a dance partner.
"When they asked him to go fight "Shogun," I think a little light bulb went off. "Oh? Te Huna needs an opponent? Let's sneak Joey in the back door," Beltran said, chasing the words with another laugh, the excitement and the gratitude he feels for an opportunity to once again be competing in the UFC coming through in everything he says. "I owe a lot to him, and his manager, and my coach Eric Del Fierro; quick thinking and quick phone calls contributed a lot to getting me back in."
Though he's clearly ecstatic about returning to action on the biggest stage in the sport, many wonder if Beltran will be the same aggressive fighter he was during his first tour of duty with the UFC. He always absorbed a great deal of punishment in his previous bouts, and went out on the business end of a big time knockout. That has to change a man, right?
"People have asked me if I watched that fight, and the answer is "No" because I remember what happened," Beltran said of his January encounter with Johnson at the United Center in Chicago. "I remember the moment. Let me — I don't remember all those nasty uppercuts when I was slumped over on the fence; I was already out. But the first uppercut he landed I remember. I was coming in on this entry that we had worked on, and he was smart – he was waiting for that. Right when I came in, I just felt it. BOOOSH! He cracked me solid, and I tried to regain myself, but he just jumped on me.
"When you're dealing with 250-pound men, you make a mistake, and they crack you, you're going to go down; I don't care who it is. All I have to do is make sure that I don't make those same kinds of stupid mistakes and I'll be alright. I'm not going to change who I am; I'm not going to change my style. I'm going to add some new tricks to my style, but as far as my heart and my will and the spirit that I bring into the cage, that's never going to change. I'm definitely going to come forward the whole time, but I'm going to try to not lead with my head as much."
As for the meeting with Te Huna and their placement as the co-main event of the evening, Beltran remained candid in his assessment of what he expects from his New Zealand-born counterpart on Wednesday night, and said he thinks there is good reason for them to hold down the second to last slot on the FUEL TV fight card, even if some people happen to think otherwise.
"He's definitely tough, and he definitely likes to scrap; I could not have asked for a better opponent to come back to. If he wants to scrap, I'm down, man. The fans are going to get excited; FUEL TV is going to be excited. Everyone is going to be happy because it's going to be a good one.
"It's pretty crazy to me; I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they don't catch that mistake," Beltran joked about returning in the penultimate fight of the night. "I know the haters are coming out in hoards, but I have to give myself a little bit of credit: I'm a seven-fight UFC veteran, I have a reputation for putting on nothing but entertaining fights. James Te Huna is coming off two first round knockouts. There's a whole build-up around me dropping to 205 – everybody's interested in seeing what I can do in this new weight class, so as far as the build-up and the story, there is definitely one there."
There definitely is, and for once, it's not one of the same stories you're hearing every fight week.

Product description
At the beginning of the sound, the aromatic composition is enveloped in a gentle spicy veil of fragrant notes of curd and star anise. Gradually, the sharp special inscriptions recede into the background, and the heady harmony of the heart is dominated by the intoxicating aroma of jasmine cake-honey. The delicate sweetness of the caramel gives the bouquet of flowers a special beauty and softness. When the sound of the perfume comes to an end, the composition is dressed in the subtle aroma of the forest with a subtle smell of oak moss and slightly resinous amber shades, forming a subtle, flowing aromatic path.

Start by identifying your preferred scent family (e.g., floral, woody,
citrus, oriental) and considering the occasions when you'll be wearing
the fragrance (e.g., casual, formal, day, night). Reading product descriptions and customer reviews can also be helpful in determining which fragrances might suit you best. You can also consider trying a sample or discovery set before committing to a full-sized bottle.
Yes, all the perfumes we sell are 100% authentic and sourced directly
from the brands or authorized distributors. We guarantee the quality and authenticity of our products.
The primary difference is the concentration of fragrance oils, which
impacts the longevity and intensity of the scent. Eau de Parfum has the
highest concentration (typically 15-20%), followed by Eau de Toilette
(5-15%) and Eau de Cologne (2-4%). As a result, EDPs tend to last longer
and have a stronger scent than EDTs and EDCs.
Our return and exchange policy varies depending on the specific conditions. Generally, unopened and unused products in their original packaging can be returned or exchanged within a 30 days time frame.
However, please review our return policy for more details and contact
our customer service team if you have any concerns.
Fragrance notes are the individual scents that make up a perfume's
composition. They are typically divided into three categories: top notes, middle (or heart) notes, and base notes. Top notes are the initial scents you perceive and are usually lighter and more volatile.
Middle notes emerge as the top notes dissipate, and they form the heart
of the fragrance. Base notes are the longest-lasting and provide depth
and longevity to the perfume.

Altar of Incense. 1For burning incense you shall make an altar of acacia wood,a 2with a square surface, a cubit long, a cubit wide, and two cubits high, with horns that are of one piece with it. 3Its grate on top, its walls on all four sides, and its horns you shall plate with pure gold. Put a gold molding around it. 4Underneath the molding you shall put gold rings, two on one side and two on the opposite side, as holders for the poles used in carrying it. 5Make the poles, too, of acacia wood and plate them with gold. 6This altar you are to place in front of the veil that hangs before the ark of the covenant where I will meet you.b
7On it Aaron shall burn fragrant incense. Morning after morning, when he prepares the lamps, 8and again in the evening twilight, when he lights the lamps, he shall burn incense. Throughout your generations this shall be the regular incense offering before the LORD. 9On this altar you shall not offer up any profane incense, or any burnt offering or grain offering; nor shall you pour out a libation upon it. 10Once a year Aaron shall purge its horns.c Throughout your generations he is to purge it once a year with the blood of the atoning purification offering. This altar is most sacred to the LORD.
Census Tax. 11The LORD also told Moses: 12When you take a censusd of the Israelites who are to be enrolled, each one, as he is enrolled, shall give the LORD a ransom for his life, so that no plague may come upon them for being enrolled. 13This is what everyone who is enrolled must pay: a half-shekel, according to the standard of the sanctuary shekel—twenty gerahs to the shekel—a half-shekel contribution to the LORD.e 14Everyone who is enrolled, of twenty years or more, must give the contribution to the LORD. 15The rich need not give more, nor shall the poor give less, than a half-shekel in this contribution to the LORD to pay the ransom for their lives. 16f When you receive this ransom money from the Israelites, you shall donate it to the service of the tent of meeting, that there it may be a reminder of the Israelites before the LORD of the ransom paid for their lives.
The Basin. 17The LORD told Moses: 18For ablutions you shall make a bronze basin with a bronze stand. Place it between the tent of meeting and the altar, and put water in it.g 19Aaron and his sons shall use it in washing their hands and feet.h 20When they are about to enter the tent of meeting, they must wash with water, lest they die. Likewise when they approach the altar to minister, to offer an oblation to the LORD, 21they must wash their hands and feet, lest they die. This shall be a perpetual statute for him and his descendants throughout their generations.
The Anointing Oil. 22The LORD told Moses: 23Take the finest spices: five hundred shekels of free-flowing myrrh; half that amount, that is, two hundred and fifty shekels, of fragrant cinnamon; two hundred and fifty shekels of fragrant cane; 24five hundred shekels of cassia—all according to the standard of the sanctuary shekel; together with a hin of olive oil; 25and blend them into sacred anointing oil,i perfumed ointment expertly prepared.j With this sacred anointing oil 26you shall anoint the tent of meeting and the ark of the covenant, 27the table and all its utensils, the menorah and its utensils, the altar of incense 28and the altar for burnt offerings with all its utensils, and the basin with its stand. 29When you have consecrated them, they shall be most sacred; whatever touches them shall be sacred. 30Aaron and his sons you shall also anoint and consecrate as my priests.k 31Tell the Israelites: As sacred anointing oil this shall belong to me throughout your generations. 32It may not be used in any ordinary anointing of the body, nor may you make any other oil of a like mixture. It is sacred, and shall be treated as sacred by you. 33Whoever prepares a perfume like this, or whoever puts any of this on an unauthorized person, shall be cut off from his people.
The Incense. 34l The LORD told Moses: Take these aromatic substances: storax and onycha and galbanum, these and pure frankincense in equal parts; 35and blend them into incense. This fragrant powder, expertly prepared, is to be salted and so kept pure and sacred. 36Grind some of it into fine dust and put this before the covenant in the tent of meeting where I will meet you. This incense shall be treated as most sacred by you. 37You may not make incense of a like mixture for yourselves; you must treat it as sacred to the LORD. 38Whoever makes an incense like this for his own enjoyment of its fragrance, shall be cut off from his people.
