You gotta love the Panera Bread Turkey Chili. It is just bursting with flavor and low in calories. After eating this last month at Panera Bread for the first time, I rushed to the grocery store in an attempt to duplicate the recipe. The result was total bliss. This chili is very easy to make and, in my opinion, is a dead ringer for the Panera recipe. I hope you don't mind, but I have taken the liberty to make this recipe a little healthier. For example, you will find no artery clogging ground meat in this chili. We are only going to use shredded turkey breast. I hope you enjoy the recipe, and if you do, DON'T FORGET TO SHARE ON SOCIAL MEDIA! This really helps get the word out.
We are very excited to release this recipe. We have put a lot of thought, preparation, and effort in this spot-on copycat recipe. Please enjoy responsibly as we don't want to put Panera Bread out of business.
- 2 Pounds Grilled Turkey Breast - Shredded
- 2 Med Sweet Onions
- 2 Carrots
- 4 Celery Stalks
- 2 Cloves Garlic
- 3 tbsp Olive Oil
- 28 oz Pureed Tomatoes
- 2 tbsp Tomato Paste
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1-2 tbsp Fresh Ground Pepper
- 1-2 tbsp Chili Power
- 1-2 tbsp Ground Cumin
- 1 tsp Italian Seasoning
- 1 tsp Crushed Red Pepper (optional)
- 1 16 oz Can of Kidney Beans - Drained and Rinsed
- ½ Cup Corn
- ½ Cup Shelled Edamame
- 1 16 oz Can of Garbanzo Beans - Drained and Rinsed
- 32 oz Vegetable Stock
- Chop onions, celery, and carrots and add to Dutch Oven or Stock Pot.

1 M ORPHOFUNCTIONAL CHARACTERISTICS OF NERVOUS SYSTEM IN CHILDREN Prepared by: Toktassyn A. 302GM Checked by: Kasenkhan B. JSC Astana Medical University Department of hystology
2 B RAIN : - Pyramidal cells have no inherent shape, they lack pigment; - Underdevelopment of dendrites in nerve cells; - Centers not formed crust, the crust becomes cytoarchitectonical that belongs to adults, 1-2 years of age; - In infants hemisphere poorly developed; main grooves formed only having a small height and depth; the birth of the best-developed temporal lobe; - Brain tissue is very rich in water, easily develop swelling; - Gray matter poorly differentiated from white.
3 Spinal cord: - More mature than the head, with age only increases the number of nerve cells; - Relatively longer; - Completely fills the spinal canal to the 5th month of intra-uterine development. Peripheral nerves: - Little miyelinisated fibers (first miyelinisated afferent fibers, efferent then); - Intracranial nerves miyelinisated to 3 months of age; - Most of the peripheral nerves miyelinisated nunder 3 years, cord white matter - up to 4-7 years.
4 Analyzers: - Eye - to 2-3 months of age there is a physiological photophobia, nystagmus physiological, physiological hyperopia, greater latitude accommodation; 6 month old baby distinguish between colors; - Hearing - sound perception in newborns reduced because tympanic cavity filled with air; with a 2-month old baby differentiate sounds; from 7-8 months of life is to coordinate the auditory and visual analyzers; - Olfactory - in newborns lowered threshold, sees only the strong smells; starting from 4-month old child differentiates several odors; - Taste - in the neonatal receptor field wider and higher threshold; 3 months of life the child differentiates several taste; thin taste improved in the early school years.
5 Sensitivity: - Tactile - determined from the 7th month of fetal period, better developed on the face, soles, brushes; - The temperature - higher threshold; better child perceives cold; - Pain - well developed; formed to 6th day after birth, has the highest threshold; - Deep (vibration, musculo-articular sensitivity, sensation of pressure, weight) - formed to 2 years of life. The autonomic nervous system: - Both units are functioning at birth; - In neonates predominant norepinephrine; - With the age of the transition from generalized autonomic responses to local, specialized reactions; - From 3 to 7 months of age dominated by the parasympathetic nervous system.
6 T HE MAIN NERVOUS SYSTEM S FUNCTIONS ARE : -psychological (intelligence) activity; -emotions -locomotion activity (function); -neural regulation of vegetation functions. - the nervous system realizes coordination of psychological and metabolic processes in different tissues, organs and systems and realizes connection between the organism and environment.
7 T HE B RAIN D URING D EVELOPMENT The nervous system develops from embryonic tissue called the ectoderm. The first sign of the nervous system developing is the neural plate that can be seen at about the 16th day of development. Over the next few days, a "trench" is formed in the neural plate - this creates a neural groove. By the 21st day of development, a neural tube is formed when the edges of the neural groove meet. The rostral (front) part of the neural tubes goes on to develop into the brain and the rest of the neural tube develops into the spinal cord. Neural crest cells become the peripheral nervous system.
8 T HE NERVOUS SYSTEM IS ORIGINATED Forepart of medullar tube growths and gives the origin of brain bubbles during 5-6 weeks of intrauterine period.
9 T HE NERVOUS SYSTEM IS ORIGINATED Five parts of brain – 2 hemispheria, connected by telencephalon, diencephalon, mesencephalon, metencephalon, myencephalon, are formed from back part of madullar tube.
10 T HE B RAIN D URING D EVELOPMENT Almost all the convolutions and fissures (gyre and sulcus) the brain is to possess in later life are present at birth, but they are extremely underdeveloped. The layers of the cerebral cortex are already almost completely formed at term, but differentiation of all the nerve cells occurs predominantly in the postnatal period. At the same time the spinal cord, the optic thalamus, and the corpus striatum are of a more mature structure. The cerebellum is elongated and its sulci are weakly pronounced. It is only towards the end of the first year of life that macroscopic structure of babys brain approaches that of an adult. Differentiation of the brain matter (nerve tissue, ganglionic cells and nerve fibers) is slower.
12 C RITICAL PERIOD The most intensive fission of neural cells occurs between 6 and 18 weeks of intrauterine period. We call this period the critical period of CNS development due to possibility of the influence of various teratogenic factors to fetus nervous system, formation the defects of development of the nervous system is possible.
14 D EVELOPMENT Since the cortical layers of the brain of the newborn infant are little differentiated the formation of the cortical centers is also immature. An intensive development of the cerebral cortex takes place during the first three month after delivery. A most characteristic point is the absence of dendrites (arboraceous branches) in the nerve cells (neurons). Principal differentiation of the nerve cells is completed by the age of 3 years, although the final termination of the process occurs only at 8 years. The conduction routes (with the exception of the pyramidal pathways) are sufficiently developed at birth; the pyramidal routes myelinize by the time the baby is 5 or 6 month old. According the existing date the first neuron pathways to become myelinized in the cerebral hemispheres are the efferent routes, while pyramidal myelinization (the efferent pathway) occurs later.
15 DEVELOPMENT OF MYELIN SHEATHS A significant aspect of brain development is the continued growth of myelin sheaths around the axons of the cerebral cortex. Myelin is a fatty substance which is deposited around many (though not all) axons as an insulating sheath. Its presence allows conduction of nerve impulses to occur from ten to one hundred times as rapidly as would occur along a non-myelinated axon. Since this obviously increases the efficiency of the axon system (just as increased computing speed enhances the efficiency of a computer), the development of axonal sheaths are taken as a measure of increasing maturity of the neural system involved. Myelin sheath development, or myelinization as it is called, has a rather well recognized time table in the cerebral hemispheres. Fibers serving the primary sensory (touch, vision, audition etc.) and motor areas are myelinated shortly after birth while those which are involved with more complex associative and cognitive functions myelinate later. It is generally believed that fiber systems of the prefrontal lobes (executive functions, intentions, future planning, etc.) are among the latest to myelinate, a process that may go on into young adulthood.
16 T HE SPINAL CORD is almost prepared to function at birth. Its weight at that time is 2 to 6g and subsequent gains are less intensive than those of the brain. The growth of the spinal cord runs parallel to the development of motor function – its initial weight triples by the age of 5 years; however, in distinction from brain the structure of the spinal cord approaches adult structure already in the second year of life. The only subsequent increase is in number of motor cells in the ventral (anterior) horns. By puberty the spinal cord increases four to fivefold. The intracranial nerves myelinize by the three month after birth, the peripheral nerves by three years, but growth of the myelin sheath and even of the axis cylinder continues. The autonomic nerves system functions from the moment of birth. So, the morphological features most characteristic of the nervous system in early childhood are immaturity of cerebral cortex, meager differentiation of the nerve cells, and insufficient myelinization of the nerve fibers.
17 D EVELOPMENT OF THE SENSE ORGANS Hearing – the receptive abilities of the auditory analyzers, develops in the child from the time he is two weeks old. Vision – as a reflex to object is defined from the third month of life; transient strabismus and absence of coordinated movement of the eyeballs are physiological phenomena in the newborn. The olfactory sense (smell) develops gradually in the form of reflex to odors after the age of six months, but the perception of taste appears much earlier.

Exciting car to drive!
By mars54 on
Vehicle2014 Mazda 3 s Touring 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl 6A)
ReviewThis is the first Mazda I have owned I decided to get one after my wife had bought a
mazda cx 5 and I enjoyed the way it drove. I really love the way my Mazda 3s
handles and how it seems to be a much more expensive car than it is.I love engaging the sport feature with the 2.5 engine the acceleration and handling are amazing!
Best FeaturesI love the heads up display and the infotainment controls are easy to use while driving interior seats are comfortable and the exterior looks are very sporty my favorite feature of all is the sport mode button!
Worst FeaturesI am really very disappointed in the Bose 9 speaker sound system it does not sound "premium" at all I had a a bose system in a previous car and it sounded amazing! The ability not to be able to put a destination into the Nav system while you are driving is very frustrating There are many times my wife would put in a new destination while we are on the highway now you would have to pull over and stop to do that which can be very inconvenient and even dangerous.

Year In Review 2016: Red Barn Antiques In Minden Offers Pieces Of Local History
Editor's Note: As part of our Year In Review 2016 series, we're re-publishing a few stories that were among our very favorite to write (and/or read) during the past year.
We'll close out on Friday with our favorite photos from 2016.
Family-Run Red Barn Antiques In Minden Offers Pieces Of Northern Nevada History
by Joey Crandall, email@example.com · 3 min read, Published on Sept. 19, 2016
MINDEN, Nev. — Barry Simpson recalls the adventures of a Carson Valley childhood played out in treasure hunts through the community dump that used to sit near the Sand Pits down past the end of Tillman Road.
It was the early 70s and Simpson would spend his days exploring out in the miles of wilderness before the Gardnerville Ranchos was the Gardnerville Ranchos.
"I'd go out there and find bottles, cans, and pieces of cars," Simpson said. "For a kid, it was awesome. My mom would throw most of it away."
He managed to stash some of it, though, and over time the stash began to grow into a collection.
Fast forward a little more than 40 years, and that collection has grown into Red Barn Antiques, located at 1578 Highway 395 in Minden.
The shop, located in the 100-plus-year-old Minden Blacksmith shop, has much of what one would expect from an antique shop – vintage signs and the like.
There is a locally historic flavor that sets the inventory apart.
Custom-made furniture wrought out of locally sourced barn wood. Railroad ties and sign posts from the V&T Railway that used to run into town along Heybourne Road. An apothecary's cabinet. A blacksmith's workbench.
Lamp covers from Main Street in Yerington. Nevada license plates. Dairy pumps. Farm equipment.
Railroad jacks and wagon wheels and barrels.
There's even a bed from the Gardnerville Jail.
Simpson has stories for all of it – casually listing names like Chichester, Dangberg and the Ruhenstroth mansion.
"Living here your whole life, you just kind of run into things," Simpson said. "Some of these things I've had since I was a kid. People will have things in their yards for years and years and end up saying, 'Take whatever you'd like.' I've just always hung onto this stuff, and now vintage and repurposed work has become such a trend."
Simpson is not new to local business. He has been roofing in the Valley for 30 years with his business, BGS Builders/Roofing LLC. Over time, he began taking on work tearing down old barns that had become structurally unsound.
The work brought with it an influx of barn wood, which began to accumulate along with Simpson's lifelong collection of antiques.
He explains how Red Barn Antiques became a reality. "I drove by this shop every day for years, just praying that it would become available," he said. "I had all my antiques accumulating in about three different areas. I had to find a spot for them.
"Over time, the building was purchased by someone else and we ended up working out an agreement to fix the building up in return for being able to rent the space.
Simpson and his sons, who run the roofing business with him, began working on the building in October of 2015 – reroofing it, installing electrical, adding a porch and bringing the building up to code.
"It was just dirty and empty when we got in here," Simpson said. "We were busy roofing all day with our other company, and then we'd come over and put in a few hours at night working on it."
They opened their doors in February.
Now the entire family, Barry and his wife Cindy along with the kids and the kids' spouses – 13 in all – share the work of running the shop.
Barn wood is stocked in neat racks and piles in the back of the shop, available for purchase. Simpson and his sons create furniture pieces out of the barn wood and also take custom orders.
A grand opening celebration will be held Sept. 23 and 24 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Regular business hours are Tuesday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.

Competitive One-to-One Promotions
One-to-one promotions are possible when consumers are individually addressable and firms know something about each customer's preferences. We explore the competitive effects of one-to-one promotions in a model with two competing firms where the firms differ in size and consumers have heterogeneous brand loyalty. We find that one-to-one promotions always lead to an increase in price competition (average prices in the market decrease). However, we also find that one-to-one promotions affect market shares. This market-share effect may outweigh the effect of lower prices, benefiting the firm whose market share increases. Our results suggest that of two firms, the firm with the higher-quality product may gain from one-to-one promotions. Our model also has implications for the phenomenon of customer churn, where consumers switch to a less preferred brand due to targeted promotional incentives. We show that churning can arise optimally from firms pursuing a profit-maximizing strategy. Instead of trying to minimize it, the optimal way to manage customer churn is to engage in both offensive and defensive promotions with the relative mix depending on the marginal cost of targeting.

Three moose have died this year in Anchorage due to cyanide poisoning after eating from the European bird cherry tree, also known as Mayday and chokecherry, wildlife officials say.
The Alaska Department of Fish and Game says two calves died in January and a third in February after eating recently frozen buds, branches and berries from the trees. The third moose also ate Japanese yew.
The scientific name for the European bird cherry is prunus padus. Two other types of prunus pervasive in Anchorage, the Canada Red and Amur chokecherries, also have the potential to be poisonous to moose, the department said.
European bird cherry is a deciduous tree that grows 15 to 30 feet high and blooms with fragrant white flowers in late spring or summer. The fruit is a black cherry sought by birds, often attracting flocks of Bohemian waxwings after snow has covered other plants.
Chokecherry trees are dominant along many streams in Anchorage and they can be toxic to animals with segmented stomachs, such as moose, cattle, goats and deer.
The deciduous Japanese yew is planted around Anchorage but is not considered invasive.
The Department of Fish and Game says property owners should cover or dispose of chokecherry and Japanese yew clippings.
Natural chemicals in a moose's rumen -- the first pouch of its many-chambered stomach -- break down the plants and release cyanide gas, killing a calf in as little as 20 minutes, according to wildlife veterinarian Kimberlee Beckmen, who conducted necropsies of the Anchorage moose, which were taken to Fairbanks.
"They're not toxic all the time," she said. "The toxin builds up under certain weather conditions and growing conditions and fertilization."
When the chokecherry freezes, a higher concentration of the toxin goes to the tree's tips, said Ashley Grant, an invasive species specialist with the University of Alaska Fairbanks Cooperative Extension Service office in Anchorage.
"That's the defense for any type of stress," Grant said.
In fall, when the first freeze hits, the toxin builds up and moose are susceptible.
"A week later, that plant won't even be toxic anymore because the toxin dissipates," Beckmen said.
A moose died in 2006 after eating European bird cherry. Biologists found the two cases in January and a third this month while examining carcasses for evidence of disease.
"It's possible that more moose die each spring as a result of cyanide poisoning but we don't have the personnel or resources to examine and test them all," Beckmen said.
An effort is being made to stop the trees' spread in parks and along trails closer to downtown -- Chester and Campbell creeks -- and other places where the Municipality of Anchorage and homeowners have planted it. Prunus trees have been seen in Far North Bicentennial Park and there's a risk that they could spread to Chugach State Park.
"We've been finding that it's displacing native vegetation," said Stephen Nickel, community assistance forester with the state Division of Forestry Community Forestry Program.
Increased diversity is good for urban forests, Nickels said, because diversity allows a forest as a whole to shrug off pests or disease that might affect one species of plant. Invasive species like the prunus trees can disrupt that natural diversity, he said.
Measurements of chokecherry trees at Valley of the Moon Park showed some as old as 30 or 35 years, said municipal forester Scott Stringer. People planting European bird cherry trees back in the day would not have known their potential to out-compete local vegetation, he said.
The trees have pushed out understory vegetation like Canadian dogwood, willow, alder and other trees normally found along Anchorage's waterways, he said.
Stringer advocates more eradication efforts for the invasive tree, but asking nurseries and homeowners not to plant it is also part of the battle, he said.
"In our control efforts, we're trying to contain it where it is . ... But when a bird feeds on a cherry and flies up the creek, then there's a potential it's going to deposit a new seed there."
The trees can be spread not only by air, but also by ground and water when the roots and branches are moved, Stringer said.
"If somebody cut branches in their front yard and threw it in the forest in the back yard, those branches can actually sprout and create new trees," he said.
The trees are popular because they do well with a short growing season and can survive harsh winters, said Nickel, of the Division of Forestry. That's why prunus trees are planted in Alaska, he said.
"Because it was so successful," Nickel said. "But, you know, success can be measured by different ways."
"There's some bad players out there."

In the dead of night, back in 1967, a highly trained unit of airborne commandos were flown into enemy territory to carry out a secret mission. With them were flown six Willy's MB Jeeps. The unit and their vehicles were parachuted deep within enemy lines. Unfortunately all six Jeeps were destroyed on landing and were un-drivable, stranding the unit in a hostile environment.
Luckily one of the soldiers was a highly skilled mechanic who managed to cobble together two working vehicles from the wreckage. The commandos then went on to successfully complete their mission.
Over a decade later, when the very same soldier came to create what was to become the Tomcar, this extreme situation had a profound effect on the design of the vehicle. We know of no other vehicle designer that has had an experience like this. It has impacted the design of the Tomcar on many levels.
The Tomcar is built to be parachuted out of a plane and survive. All its parts are easily accessible, easy to fix and simple to replace - even under enemy fire. Certain crucial parts of the vehicle are symmetrical - they fit on the right as well as on the left - reducing stock and simplifying maintenance. The Tomcar is also extremely tough - it is the strongest vehicle in its class, with a fully welded steel safety cell (integral to the frame - not just bolted on).
The Tomcar has now been in continual active development for over twenty years, and successfully serves numerous military and security forces in conflict zones across the world.

Loading Machine (Sod Peat)
Type II – Deisel
The purpose of this machine is to load sod peat from bog ricks into railway wagons on one side of the rick only.
The machine consists of a lightly constructed main frame mounted on caterpillar type power driven tracks and carrying a short scraper elevator in front, extending over the width of the tracks and a low level cross conveyor which elevates as it projects from the side of the machine.
The machine is powered by a diesel engine and a selection of travel speeds are obtainable by a 4 speed gearbox and change sprockets. Steering is by coil clutches.
The machine is driven into the end of the rick, at a speed to suit the rick size. The sod peat is lifted on the scraper elevator and discharged onto the horizontal portion of the transverse plate/chain conveyor which elevates from the side of the machine to discharge into the wagons alongside the machine. The elevating portion of this conveyor is pivoted to the horizontal portion so that the discharge end can be raised or lowered by winch to suit loading level.
The scraper elevator is pivoted on the top drive shaft centre whilst the lower end is controlled by winch, rope and pulley system.
The machine is equipped with lights to facilitate night loading and a short wave radio receiving/transmitting set is fitted in the driver's cab.

PLA should pay officers more in bid to promote military professionalism, article says
The People's Liberation Army should pay higher salaries to make military careers more attractive and enhance the social status of serving soldiers, article in PLA Daily advocates
An article published in the PLA Daily on Monday called for a pay increase for officers as an important step in pushing forward professionalism in the military.
"[The country] should establish a munificent compensation system for military officers, to increase the career's attraction," said the article, which was written by Du Renhuai, a professor at the PLA Nanjing Institute of Politics.
The Communist Party's third plenum in November included the concept of professionalism among officers as a major part of military reform.
In consideration of the job situation of the officers' family members, the education of their children, the risks of the profession, and other elements, officers are entitled to be provided with relatively higher payment, which should be generally higher than that of civil servants, said the article.
Officers' economic, political and social status should be at the top end of the society, it added.
The article also argued that officers should be given solid assurances on their benefits after their retirement from the military in terms of housing, healthcare, insurance, training and other aspects.
Qiao Liang, a major general in Chinese Air Force and a commentator on military affairs, echoed the article's viewpoints.
"In most countries, military officers are paid higher than civil servants. It's a general practice that China should follow," said Qiao.
"The military officers need to risk their lives in war, or at many other assignments like rescue efforts in times of earthquake and floods. What they earn is sometimes at the price of their lives," he added.
A colonel based in Shanghai, who declined to be named, told the South China Morning Post his basic salary was nearly 8,000 yuan (HK$10,100) per month, slightly higher than civil servants of the same rank.
"But civil officials can receive various [forms of] compensation besides their basic salaries. In total, our payment is definitely much lower," he said.
The colonel's last pay increase was in 2011, when he received around 1,000 yuan. "Everything is getting much more expensive these days. My salary could only barely make my family survive in such an expensive big city."
Qiao Liang said regional differences should be taken into account when considering payment system reforms.
"In underdeveloped areas like Gansu or Tibet, officers' income might be enough to support their families. But in big cities like Beijing and Shanghai, they might face financial difficulties."
China has been increasing its defence budget at double-digit pace in recent years. In 2013, the country's military budget rose by 10.7 per cent to 720 billion yuan. Military analysts believe it could see another double-digit increase this year.
"In the 1980s and 1990s, salary payment could take 40 to 50 per cent of the total military budget. But the ratio has decreased in the past decade, with more money spent on military equipment and drills.
"Some people might argue China doesn't need to pay more to military officers, as we have enjoyed peace for over three decades. But I think we need to pay our officers better, as nobody can guarantee peace forever," said Qiao.

There shouldn't be a problem to read the barcodes directly from the screen (we have tested on LCD screens and it reads them). You can also create a small sample report just for the purpose of the test that will print only 4-5 barcodes.
There are even apps for smartphones that can scan barcodes and tell you the value. In fact, with such an app we have tested the barcodes from your screenshots and the codes are correct :).

We have a small circa 1930's bathroom. Due to the size and "unique" peach and turquoise color scheme, I decorate it very simply. It is knick-knack free. My daughter, on the other hand, loves playing with sea creature toys in the tub. They are often left strewn around, creating a sea life theme in our otherwise austere bathroom.
Though she will occasionally carry one off to her room, for the most part, they dwell in our bathroom. A lot of funky stuff happens in bathrooms, and these poor little creatures are forced to bear witness to it, full visual, odors and all. I imagine Mr. Fishy is quite jealous of the face down positioning of Big Shark on this particular day. Even more so of Crabby who after his squirting duty was carried off to my daughter's bedroom, far from the sights and smells unfortunate Mr. Fishy must endure.
While poor hapless Mr. Fishy dreams of the sweet death of being sliced into sushi or simmered in a bouillabaisse, that day will never come. The best he can hope for is his child losing interest and tossing him aside to be forgotten. His torturous existence may not come to an end so easily, though. He could be passed along for another child to leave behind in the bathroom…
Mr. Fishy will never forget. The things he has seen in our bathroom are hideously emblazoned on his mind. We, thankfully, do not suffer the same fate. See that Quilted Northern bath tissue stashed in our sink cabinet it is "designed to be forgotten". It gives us a mercifully forgettable bathroom experience, just the way we like it.
If the sad saga of Mr. Fishy is not enough to make you thankful to forget perhaps this will…
The makers of Quilted Northern® use 100 years of experience to craft a toilet paper that works so well you can forget your bathroom experience. Because the best bathroom trips are the ones you don't remember.
This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Quilted Northern. The opinions and text are all mine.

Hand creams
Fresh Brown Sugar Hand Cream, HK$190/75ml
Claim: contains brown sugar, which Fresh calls a natural antiseptic with moisture-preserving properties. A blend of evening primrose, sweet almond, apricot kernel and jojoba oils nourishes the skin, as do Shea butter and vitamin E.
StriVectin-SD Volumizing Hand Treatment, HK$305/60ml
Claim: quotes clinical age-defying results, including firmer, brighter, plumper skin and more even skintone, as well as a moisturising effect.
Wei Noto Ginseng Repairing Hand Cream, HK$130/42ml, at Joyce Beauty
Claim: a formula containing notoginseng, used in traditional Chinese medicine for its repairing qualities, soothes irritated skin and protects hands. Also contains ginger to improve the skin's circulation
Verdict: Fresh's cream has a pleasing citrusy scent. Its lightweight formula is absorbed easily, providing lasting hydration. Wei's also has a pleasant natural smell, leaving hands silky rather than sticky. StriVectin is known for its high-performance products, but we didn't see a significant difference between this and the other two. It seems somewhat overqualified (and extravagant) for a cream that's only likely to last until the next hand wash.

Genre: Social Point of View; Trans-media Children's Book
Title: The Nuts and Bolts of Dinner
Logline (short pitch): Young Dorothy eats cookies for dinner instead of vegetables. After dreaming about her life as Dorothy the Robot, who eats vegetables instead of nutritious nuts and bolts, she wakes up to realize that vegetables are the nuts and bolts of a healthy human diet.
Synopsis: This original trans-media children's book is about the awakening of young Dorothy to the need for a healthy diet. With music from the Wizard of Oz and references to the movie throughout the video, young children can easily relate to Dorothy's awakening. Roxie the bulldog helps capture children's attention as well. Sequences are repeated in the real world as a young girl and then in the dream world as a robot. Everyone in the video tries to teach Dorothy the importance of getting a colorful variety of vegetables and fruit in her diet, from Mother to Professor Robot to Roxy the Robot Dog.

Discussion in 'Travelogues & Experiences' started by N Kiran, Jan 7, 2014.
My bad. I thought Gokarna Beach is also called as Paradise Beach. Edited the same.
Kiran, I thought you had read the following post of mine from your holiday suggestions thread
I did read your suggestion Shams. It was in the back of my mind, but never really took Gokaran seriously. Sorry .
Valparai was the first choice on our list and we concentrated more on it. We had to drop Valparai as we couldn't find any accomodation during our trip period, given the fact that it was X-mas time and almost all accomodations were booked till the year end. We even din't have any accomodation reserved at Gokarna and Hampi too. We just took a chance and drove down to Gokarna after weighing the odds. Hampi was another impromptu decision taken at Gokarna. There is much more to the story. All the thought process and our adventures probably will be covered in the Travelogue to be posted by Hurricanes.
Finally reached the destination ... Kudle Beach
We have to trek down a narrow path dug in the hill, to actually reach the beach
Exploring a little bit of Kudle beach
We decided to explore Om beach which was on the other side of the hill, which could be either driven down to or have to trek.
Given my lazyness, I opted for driving. But our adventurous team mates decided against it.
And so the trekking began.
I wasn't disappointed as it turned out to be a very short distance and we reached Om beach in no time.
We relaxed a bit on the Om beach. While I enjoyed sitting in the sand and viewed the sunset. My buddies did the same in more adventerous way.
P.S: Few pics were taken with my mobile.
We returned to our beach resort after the sunset and had a nice dinner. Next day we ventured some more of the Kudle beach.
Since we had no prior accomodation booked, we tried our luck to get a beach resort at Kudle beach and finally managed to get one room with an extra bed. Unfortunately it was available for only 1 day. We had two options, one is to find another accomodation at one of the beach resorts or leave for another destination.
Vj proposed that we can go to Hampi and we agreed instantly to head to Hampi the next day.
The trecherous off road to exit the parking lot.
Until next time. Adieu Gokarna !!!
Heritage at Hampi !!
Headed towards Hampi the next morning and reached by night fall. After going through various reviews on the internet, we decided to stay in one of the river side resorts.
We first reached Hampi and later realised that we ended up on the wrong side of the river bank. The Hampi itself is on one side of the river and the resorts we intended to stay was bang opposite to it, but on the other side of the river.
We thought that there would be a bridge or something for us to cross the river. We were terribly mistaken and had to actually drive ~60kms to reach the resorts, which otherwise was hardly 600 mtrs from where we ended up.
- - - Merged Post - - -
The resort overlooks few acres of paddy fields that belong to the owner of the resort.
A few mins walk from the resort and we reached the banks of the river. We had to cross the river using a boat.
We ended up the other side of the river, the previous night. So close, yet so far.
- - - Merged Post - - -
We were supposed to reach the otherside by this boat.
Yeah, you guessed it right. Again the adventerous duo wanted a twist and we somehow convinced the boat owner to let us cross using this (which we were told is unsafe and prohibited).
After reaching the other side of the river, we hired an Auto to show us around.
Our ride for the day
Our Chauffer / Tourist Guide

Rocks carved into plates for the poor to dine

When you are thinking of hair care, there are many things to consider. Sometimes, caring for your hair is extremely frustrating and you might even feel like throwing in the towel. Proper hairdressing need not be complicated, however.
If you frequently wear a ponytail, then adjust its height or length often. You can use fabric scrunchies to minimize stress caused to the hair in that area; however, you can still experience breakage. If you must tie your hair back for your job, give your hair a break by letting it down during your non-work hours.
Use a conditioning treatment only if your hair appears to look dry. After shampooing your hair as normal, wring out the excess water, apply the conditioner of your choice, and cover your hair with a shower cap until the conditioner has a chance to absorb – usually five to ten minutes. The heat will enable your conditioner to penetrate your hair.
You can damage your hair by blowdrying it. What works best when using a blow dryer is to keep it on a cold air setting with constant movement of the dryer. This way, it moves around and not on one spot for too long. Use your fingers to get rid of knots as the hair dries so that it will be easier to brush later.
Use this easy and low-cost deep-conditioner to treat your dry hair. Wet your hair quickly, and just add a pretty generous amount of conditioner. Take a warm, moist towel and wrap your hair securely to retain the heat and help the conditioner penetrate into the hair strands. 30 to 60 minutes later, you can shampoo out the conditioner and rinse.
If you use a blow dryer to dry your hair, be sure not to keep it on the same spot for too long. This will decrease the chances of your hair sustaining any damages from using too much heat.
When conditioning your hair, ensure that you spread the conditioner evenly across all parts of your scalp; don't overcondition one area. Make sure that you don't rinse out the conditioner before it has a chance to work; leave it in for several minutes at least.
Avoid exposing your hair to the frigid weather during the cold fall and winter months. Cold weather may dry your hair out and cut down on the nutrients and oils that you need for optimal health. If you will be in the cold for an extended period, wear a hat over your hair.
Stay away from being too brand loyal on shampoos and conditioners. If you switch the brand every now and then, you will see your hair react positively. If one brand leaves behind excess residue, you may find that another brand is effective at removing that residue.
If you are an avid swimmer, get your hair wet before entering the water, as this reduces chlorine absorption. Also, if you choose not to wear a swim cap, shampoo and condition immediately following your swimming session to minimize any damage.
Skip styles that are sleek, and go for a tousled or textured style instead. When your hair is textured, your styling time will be reduced. Texture is added to hair via style, cut or choosing to get a perm. Follow this tip and you will increase the body that your hair has, as well as give yourself more choice when it comes to how you style your locks.
Using the hairdressing tips which were shared in this article will simplify management of your hair. It is vital that you use what you have been taught today, so you can notice results as soon as possible. You should read this article again, so you can be sure how to properly care for the hair.

Next, I have GREAT news to report. After a rough few weeks of running, I had one of my first post stress fracture pain free runs yesterday!! I'm very excited. It's been a very long road, but I think I might have found the trick: I foam rolled BEFORE the run to loosen up my calves. I've had some pretty bad shin splints as I've gotten back to running and that seems to help. Normally, I don't advise doing that on cold muscles, but I do a few active warm ups before. Works!
The other part of my "solution" is biking. So, Thursday night I hopped on the bike trainer in my house, flipped on
Finally a picture of my son. I ran a 4.2 mile race last weekend (report coming soon - probably) and I rode the light rail to the starting/finish line because he LOVES trains. Well, while he likes riding on my shoulders, he also thinks that it is HILARIOUS to smack the top of my head as hard as he can. Honestly? I can't say that I blame him - I would probably do the same thing. Happy Friday! Errrr, Saturday!

IOServer.IODevice.Update = 3000 //Increase this value to an acceptable update time in seconds
Also in the OFS Configuration tool, the following settings have been shown to reduce this issue:
Device Timeout = 30000
Frame Timeout = 10000
Max Channels = 4

The underlying issue is PLC overloading, but these parameters have been shown to assist in reducing the load on the PLC.
It should also be noted that it is advised to use the OFSOPC driver instead, as this driver is optimised to talk to the OFS server.

Welcome to the world of Whispering Bay romance, where hot heroes and smart heroines collide to find their happily-ever-afters!
When Mimi Grant becomes mayor of Whispering Bay, she gets a whole lot more than she bargained for. Her biggest concern? The city's annual festival is in financial ruin and the former housewife doesn't have a clue how to fix things. But, she's determined to bring the sleepy beachside town into the 21st century.
Hunky Police Chief Zeke Grant isn't happy that his estranged wife Mimi has just become his boss. But for the town's sake, he's willing to swallow his pride and let her order him around - to a point. Everything aside, he doesn't count on someone from his past coming back to haunt him, forcing him to reevaluate what's really important.
While Mimi and Zeke continue to butt heads on how to get things done, there's one thing they can't help but agree on: their chemistry is hotter than ever. However, when a robbery threatens to derail the annual festival, some of the town's residents question Mimi and Zeke's ability to keep Whispering Bay safe - as well as keep their war-torn personal life out of civic business. Mimi and Zeke must team up to solve the crime, and decide once and for all if it's time to move forward with separate lives, or if true love really does conquer all.

I enjoyed every single minute of this story! I love the small town atmosphere, the history of Mimi and Zeke's relationship throughout their 18 year marriage and the love they have for each other and their family. I thought the 9-1-1 call had a great ending too!
I really love the way the author highlights Maggie's relationships with her children, her husband, her mother and sister in law and the fact that she is a extremely intelligent and highly capable woman who also happens to be the mayor of her small town. I enjoy strong woman with vulnerabilities.
The 9-1-1 call is definitely my favorite scene! It highlights the frustration of life in a small town but it also celebrates the loving community feeling that demonstrates why small town romance is such a popular genre in romance right now. This book engaged all of my emotions.
Come to Whispering Bay where everybody knows your history and celebrates that history with you, whether you want them to, or not.
I love this collaboration of author and narrator and I can't wait to meet more of the citizens in Whispering Bay. I wish I could live there too!
- Diane Blaser
A picturesque romance.
Having read the print copy, I knew the power of words Maria Geraci possesses, but Carly Robins took a brought the words to life by painting a picture and added emotion to back it up.
Second chances are hard to come by and this couple earned theirs. My favorite moment was when the walls came down and they gave into their emotions.
I always look forward to hearing a narrator's portrayal of the opposite sex. It just adds that special touch to hear what their perception will be.
I would have loved to listen to this is one sitting, but life can sometimes get in the way. Even though I was not able to listen all at one time, I still enjoyed it.
Ms. Robins opened my eyes to what a gem That Man of Mine really is. Sometimes, it takes seeing through someone else's eyes to appreciate a valuable commodity.

text: I realise by asking this I'm going to get judged pretty quickly as a complete web design novice... oh well! In another thread I've been discussing the best way to re-develop my web site. I've decided to take a different approach than I usually do by doing the layout in photoshop (or illustrator because I love it) then passing it along to someone else to do the coding. What are the main problems I need to be considering within my design so I don't p*** off the developer later. My first question is size, in my other sites I've had to play down to the lowest common denominator and make the overall screen size quite small, this means that it displays smaller on modern screens. Any tips would be helpful, and if you feel like sharing your initial processes then great, if not no worries! Thanks for any insights you can give me, and I apologise for being a dense newbie!

Paper or Cash? Supermarket Bagger Returns Lost $10,000
Moses, a supermarket bagger, says the bible inspired him to return $10,000 in cash he found in his store's bathroom. Moses explained: "I teach at Sunday school with 10-year-old kids and I always tell them to do the right thing."
CNN deemed Moses' action so unusually generous that it sent a reporter to the store to discuss his decision making process. But perhaps choosing to return the money isn't so surprising. Despite the lure of free money, $10,000 on a bathroom floor seems a little fishy. Maybe Moses didn't want to get mixed up in any trouble, since someone would probably come looking for the cash.
What would you do if you found $10,000 in a bathroom?

It will be nice for my bridesmaids once its been dry cleaned i hope. i was so wrinkled though, i really hope it smooths out properly… A plastic bag really isnt the best way to ship a fancy dress Moncler Pet
- Very Pretty Dress.:So great and so much cheaper than buying from a boutique. Moncler Hats
- Love!!!:I am 5'6 and a curvy 135 lbs. This dress is HOT! I ordered a medium and was very comfortable. Received so many compliments. Moncler Tracksuits
- a great buy:Loving this dress! Just tried it on an husband gave his approval. I'm 5'3/185/hourglass and this dress will need to be hemmed but will be an amazing evening dress. Moncler Women Coats
- Great dress!!:Just as pictured Moncler Moka Coat
- Lovely dress:Beautiful dress. Nice fit. Great feel to it when I have it on. I ordered an xl because up top I am 40D. The fit is just right. I am 5'4 and the length is perfect too. Moncler Site Officiel
- Perfect for my costume:This feels like latex! Tight and restricting. Plus, it's very thin. Definitely not comfortable. It rides up too easily which creates eyesore bulges. Moncler Down Coats
- Do not like the way this fits at all:These dresses are gorgeous. I bought two, the purple and the coffee, purple is my favorite. Size medium fits, although if they offered small I'm sure it would fit as I am size 2 in womens. Size medium seems like it would fit a wide range of sizes because of the cut of these dresses. The purple one will be my Easter outfit, can't wait to wear it! Also the top front and back are a low cut and fall below my back bra strap and reveal more clevage than I want in the front. I simply put a single stitch on each front and back to correct that and it is perfect. The fabric is flowing so the adjustment is not noticable at all! Perfect dress for casual or semi formal wear! Also it was shipped sooner than confirmed when I purchased it. Moncler Mens Coat
- Five Stars:Nice dress Outlet Moncler Online
- Beautiful, Well Made, Great Value:The dress looked even better when received than in the picture. It is a very light pink that falls nicely, with lining that gives it body as shown but the advertised picture does not capture the beauty of the ruffles. Just great!

- Four Stars:These fit well, but I now realize I should have bought a loose fitting slip. These are a good length, but the material causes them to ride up like crazy! You'll be walking about for about 20 min and then realize that they've become tank tops! Moncler Boys
- Gorgeous Dresses:Very nice dress my daughter will look like a princess on Sunday but she is only 4 years old and a little bit chubby I bought size 6/7 next time I will buy size 7/8 for it to last a couple years. Very fast shipping I was impressed. Moncler Jackets Cheap
- Hard to fit in dresses:Finding a maxi dress that is not too loose is a pain. This hugs ones curves but it's not too tight. I love that it's long enough but does not touch the floor. Right above my foot. I am 5'4" & 140 lbs. At first, the dress fit a bit snugged but it stretches out enough to be your exact size. Moncler Down Vest

- Perfect for the price!:I am larger chested so it fit better in the chest for me than others had mentioned. The only problem I had was that it puckered out on the sides. If I wear it again I will have it altered and probably have a lining put in the cups. The length was great as I am 5'8" and this was plenty long enough. It reached just above the ground when I wore my low heels. Moncler Pet
- lovely!!!:The picture online doesn't show up as having orange on the dress, but it arrived and where it looks pink in the picture it is mostly orange. I still like it a lot and have gotten numerous compliments on it. Moncler Femme

- Perfect for a cover-up over a swimsuit:Low quality & very thin, cheap, see through fabric-top sizing is much larger than stated in item description, even though adjustable. MUCH LOWER CUT neckline than it appears in photo…returned immediately for a credit. Seller is non communicative, so I was forced to appeal to Amazon to resolve. Moncler Jakker

- Quality slips for the variety of colors, does not ride up and is comfortable.:Great product to wear under a shorter shirt when wearing leggings. Moncler Jas
- Three Stars:This dress is for casual dress codes. I don't understand why it is so bling out too much jewellery makes you look like a carnival parade. I suspect the plain top and decorated bottom would have been better. Fits large am medium and it fitted loosely though I bought a medium. All in all I was hoping for a bit more dress is a cheap material. Moncler Daunenjacke
- The Shar Pei of ball gowns…:I really want to leave a glowing review for this dress. It arrived quickly, fit just how I was hoping, and it feels well made (except for the zipper, see below for details). However, whatever they did to this dress in the packaging process has left it permanently creased, and not in a nice, organized pleated-type way. The outer material has been crushed into a mess, and I can't get it smooth! I've never had a problem with creasing to this degree before, and I'm stuck. I shower-steamed it, ironed it, hand washed it, as per garment instructions, and even used the hotel garment steamer…nothing works. I did not have enough time to get it to a dry cleaner, which will be my last resort. So, minus two stars from what would have been a five star review. The dress is polyester. The drape of the skirt is flowy, and the bodice is fitted, but not too tight. I am 5'7" and the length is just right with a modest-height heel. I weight about 165, bra size 36 D, and I ordered the 14. I've always had broad shoulders and a fairly straight shape, which has made it rather difficult as I've put on weight to find dresses that work…this one fits quite nicely. It has a built-in bra, and a "modesty panel" at the crux of the "V." The zipper is not great, you really have to be vigilant when you zip (or have a helper do it!) to avoid zipping the fabric into the zip…not impossible, but probably could have been prevented with a better quality zip. I bought this dress for orchestra performances, and had it not arrived permanently creased, it would be exactly what I'm looking for…now that I've washed it, I'm stuck with it. I hope this review will influence the future product packaging, as this could be a terrific addition to many wardrobes…at a good price. I will update this review if dry cleaning works… hope this helps! Bonnet Moncler
- Cute, cute, cute!:Sooo happy with these. We purchased them for a candy land father daughter dance. We surprised them with the dresses and some corsages. Oh my word were they happy. I cannot believe the price on these! I couldn't buy the material myself to do anything close to this. Very happy! Moncler Sweatshirt
- One Star:It appears to be high waisted in the picture but it is not. Also a bit heavy Moncler Original

- Great Bridesmaid Dress:I overnighted this dress for an elopement wedding. It fit as perfectly as it could for being right off the "shelf". An invisible bra and a set of heels, and I was set. I would recommend hem tape if you're short or flash tape if you need your girls to stay in place.

- Five Stars:Fits lovely! Many thanks!! Moncler Women Coats
- Good news was the dress I wore it with I …:I do not use this as a slip, but rather as a layering piece to provide more coverage under tunics etc, when wearing leggings or just to give that extra pop of color peeking out from a slightly shorter shirt. The fabric is very nice, there is a ton of stretch, and they do not ride up at all. I have 4 colors so far and will purchase more for sure! I had been buying the much raved about "skinnytees" but these are less than half and I think these work better anyway. I am skeptical about the one size fits all. I am a size 2-4 and it is plenty snug on me. As stated there is a lot of stretch so who knows. Moncler Clothes
- Really good buy:The dress is actually very nice and well made. My only complaint is the inner lining is clingy. It fits a little to snug for me. Kids Moncler Coats
- Four Stars:Fits very well. Super flattering. Moncler Raincoat
- I really like this dress:Perfect fit especially since it's stretchy. It is a simple design, plain color, but when you wear it, it is so comfortable and classic. A good buy Moncler Frankfurt
- The material feels great. It's really soft and clings to my figure:Absolutely my most favorite dress…fits perfectly and is extremely comfortable (and sexy) not too often you find that combo! Moncler Mens Coats
- Good:As expected, but very tight. I usually wear a size 4 and this was a little snug. Because I am a little hippy with a smaller waist, it wants to ride up. Works fine as a layering piece

- I bought this dress for my daughter's wedding, and …:I loved the dress, it was custom made and delivered within my tight schedule. The only problem was the fit was too good, there wasn't any grace room and it fit very tight, I'd recommend making your chest and waist measurements a little bigger then you need. Also the stitching of the mesh on top was hurried sp the mesh was puckered. All in all the dress was well made and perfectly priced!! Moncler Stores
