Nowadays, more and more travelers are fancy on taking part in boat journeys because of its interesting experience. That traveling by boat takes longer can help visitors take more time to adjust to being somewhere different and the journey gives them a heightened sense of involvement with their surroundings. Therefore, the aspect of their view is turned around and they will see people and places from a different perspective altogether
Thus, www.lonelyplanet.com has given a suggestion on ten ideal destinations for those who love boat journeys all over the world.
The article says that "Bobbing on the emerald waters of Hạ Long bay and moving through its 3000-odd limestone islands is simply sublime. The tiny islands are dotted with beaches and grottoes created by wind and waves, and have sparsely forested slopes ringing with bird tunes.
There are more than 300 boats based at BãiCháyTouristWharf waiting to sweep you away to the World Heritage waters. Day tours last from four to eight hours, though (recommended) overnighters are also available".%%anc%% if (1==1) {document.getElementById("link140″).style.display="none";}

Expertise & Research Interests
Bioinformatics and pathway-based approaches to gene expression profiling.
Gene interactions and molecular profiles in cancer.
SNP genotype and copy number analysis for genome-wide association studies.
My research focuses on patterns of gene expression, gene regulation, and gene product interactions that can be inferred from large collections of mRNA expression data. This approach is useful for identifying normal interaction and regulatory connections between genes as well as the disruption of these connections in complex diseases such as cancer. Bioinformatics approaches allow these connections to be easily extended into the context of biological pathways in order to understand global changes with respect to disease states or treatment. I've collaborated extensively with other Principal Investigators in the KCC to establish automated analysis pipelines for genes, gene signatures, and interaction profiles that provide informative readouts of pathway function and dysfunction associated with disease states.
Future plans include the automation of a publically accessible web-based tool that provides a user-friendly readout of genes, gene signatures, and interaction profiles across multiple phenotypes, disease states, and therapeutic interventions. As this tool evolves, it will be useful for designing and implementing classification algorithms to assist disease diagnosis and guided therapy.

Associate Professor
Phone: (970) 491-8635

Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Office: 132 Physiology Building
Dr. Hanneman is the Toxicology Section Head. He is a faculty member of the interdisciplinary program in Cell and Molecular Biology. His research interests are in chemical induction of neuroendocrine disruption and molecular regulation of gene and protein expression. Dr. Hanneman also supervises the toxicology section's "Molecular and Analytical Laboratory" which offers "fee for service" analysis of toxicological samples.
Research Interests
Chemicals that cause nerve injury and neurological deficits are a structurally diverse group.
For the vast majority of these chemicals the corresponding molecular mechanisms of action are not
well understood. In other areas of toxicology (such as hepatotoxicity) it is well understood that
oxidative metabolites known as electrophiles will react with cellular proteins by covalently binding
nucleophilic amino acid residues. Cellular toxicity occurs when electrophilic adduct formation
disrupts protein structure and/or function, which secondarily causes damage to organelles, metabolic
pathways, and/or physiological processes. Since many neurotoxicants are also electrophiles, our
laboratory has hypothesized that the corresponding pathophysiological mechanisms of neuroendocrine
disruption involve protein adduction and dysfunction.
Currently Funded Research Projects
Chlorotriazine (Cl-TRI) compounds such as atrazine (ATRA) are the most commonly used herbicides in the United States, with more that 30,000 tons (60 million pounds) applied annually. Exposure to ATRA and other Cl-TRIs causes a spectrum of reproductive deficits in laboratory species that involve selective disruption of the hypothalamic-pituitary gonadal (HPG) axis. Our long-term goal is to better understand the role of environmental compounds (such and ATRA) in reproductive disorders in humans. At present the central hypothesis of our laboratory is that exposure to ATRA results in suppression of the LH surge by selective alteration in GnRH-dependent signaling pathways in the HPG axis. This hypothesis has been formulated upon published data from our laboratory demonstrating that the effects of ATRA on suppression of the LH surge are attributable to its metabolite, diaminochlorotriazine (McMullin et al., 2004, 2007) and that diaminochlorotriazine (DACT) directly effects the HPG axis via protein adduction (Dooley et al., 2006, 2007).

Regional Rail Initiative meeting outlines plan
The Ellis County Press
Waxahachie – Regional Rail Initiative will be hosting a luncheon with county and city officials Monday, Feb.16, starting at 12 p.m. at the Waxahachie Civic Center.
The Regional Rail Initiative is a bill the North Central Texas Council of Governments is working on with various transportation authorities in the metroplex to get with the cities and counties to help pass a bill in this legislative session. Which will provide passenger rail with a new tax voted on by the cities and counties involved. If passed, an election will be held for each county within the funding area and submitted to the elections administration of each county where voters will be asked to approve projects and /or fees which would be used for any items constructed.
If a county decides to opt out of passing the tolls the project may have to be wiped out altogether if there is lack of funding.
According to documents sent to the media, there are two conflicting arguments prominently displayed regarding taxes with areas that receive services already from Dallas Area Rapid Transit.
One stating no, they will not double tax DART areas and then on the Q&A provided by NCTCOG they go back and state Dallas and Collin counties, "will be imposed with any new fee as well as the current one percent sales tax from DART they already are paying."
"I just produced it", said Dawn Rousseau when notified at Judge Chad Adams office.
Phone calls to NCTOG officials were not returned as of press time.

An Analysis of Russian Economy. Raya Dunayevskaya 1942
1. For studies of Japan, see: Industrialization of Japan and Manchukuo, 1930-1940, by Schumpeter, Alien, Gordon and Penrose; The Economic Strength of Japan, by Isoshi Asahi, and Industrialization of the Western Pacific, by Kate L. Mitchell, 1942.
2. This is not based on the unit which was used for previous years since, in 1933, for reasons best known to the Russian state and unrevealed to the public, a measure known as the "biological yield" was adopted. This standard of measurement meant the grain is estimated on the stalks in the field before harvesting, and a 10 per cent deduction is allowed for waste. All agricultural economists, with the exception of the Stalinists, of course, agree that such an estimate does not account for actual waste. Prof. Prokopovitch discounts an additional 10 per cent, or a total of 20 per cent, for waste; other bourgeois economists discount as high as 30 to 40 per cent. However, this abstract reports official figures only.
3. 1937 census was destroyed and data were not made available to public.
4. Russian statistics lump workers and employees in one category; or when they separate them into two categories they lump rural and urban workers in one category and rural and urban employees in another; the above figure rep-resents urban workers and employees.

Title: Football
Posted: September 11, 2011 (08:37 PM)
During the summer I didn't think I'd be able to say this, but football (of the American variety) is back. And just in time too because the past week has been extremely painful to be a Red Sox fan as they slowly implode in on themselves. So here are my predictions/commentary on some teams.
Steelers & Ravens - The Ravens really beat the Steelers bad. The media seems to be championing the Ravens predicting that they'll take the division. If today's game was any indication, then maybe they're on to something. Regardless I'm sure you'll see both teams in the playoffs, but I don't think this is going to be Flacco's year. Especially when he'll likely have to go through the Patriots and/or Jets to get to the Super Bowl.
Colts - If you're a football fan, you've likely heard about Peyton Manning's impending neck surgery that will likely make him miss the season. This pretty much effectively tanks the Colts and makes them a non-threat.
Eagles - I don't pay as much attention to the NFC, but the Eagles are an interesting team to follow. Not only is Michael Vick extremely talented, but there's all the hype about the 'Dream Team' they've created. I think this team is only going to get better as the season progresses.
Packers - The Packers want to be the next Patriots but they're forgetting that the Patriots are still the Patriots. They looked good in their opener, and I think it's very possible they'll be back at the Super Bowl if not repeat a win.
Jets - Honestly pretty surprised with how tonight's game is going. 17-7 in the 3rd with the Cowboys winning. I don't know if Dallas has good defense or their offense just sucks. I figured the Jets would be even better this year, but hey whenever the Jets lose, that's a good day.
Giants - This will be the year Tom Coughlin gets fired, but hey Eli Manning will have a better season than his brother at least.
Patriots - Tom Brady will do his best being Tom Brady and that will win a lot of games. Wes Welker & co will do their best catching some balls and that will win games to. Chad Ochocinco will be living with a fan or something. At some point Randy Moss will make a shocking announcement that he is coming out of retirement to play football with his buddy Tom. The Patriots will have an undefeated season and beat the Eagles/Packers 100-0 in the Super Bowl (700-0 if Bill Belichick suits up and plays left tackle). Jokes about the Patriots being the Boston team to go the longest without a title will be deferred to the Red Sox.
On a side note, I'm starting a new job tomorrow, but that's misleading to say because I've been doing per diem work for the same position at the same hospital (same floor and unit too) since July. The only difference is now I have a guaranteed 40 hour work week and I'll have my own caseload instead of covering for other therapists, which in some ways is easier and some ways harder. I'm kinda surprised I found full time this quickly in this economy but that's healthcare I suppose.

If there is one thing the classic FPS title Doom did not need it was a bunch of numbers, but evidently someone in Japan thought differently. Import-only PlayStation launch title Crime Crackers is essentially a Doom RPG full of first-person shooting, mazes, keys, and a bunch of stats. It sounds like a mildly interesting combination except its been ruined by poor level design and gimped shooting mechanics.

When I first read about Too Human, I was intrigued by the concept of a cyberpunk RPG about humans becoming more machine than man. But at the time I was 13 years old and it was going to be an 8 disc Playstation game. It took nearly a decade with many delays, but Too Human eventually was released as an Xbox 360 hack & slash dungeon crawler. Except now its about Norse mythology in the distant future. And its not very good. Its astounding that a vision held on to for so long could c...
Im not exactly sure what did it, but I had huge doubts about Onechanbara right from the start. Maybe it was the opening cinema where our buxom hero Aya showers, lavishing the player with her glistening lower back tattoo while dripping with steamy water, or perhaps it was the fact I was playing a game subtitled Bikini Samurai Squad. Nevertheless, I didnt expect a brawler about scantily clad women chopping up zombies to be as fun as it turned out to be.
Speak with someone who owned a Dreamcast in 1999 or 2000 and theyll likely recall fond memories of a fantastic library tailored to the hardcore gaming crowd. But gamers who never adopted the console usually arent hunting it down on eBay. The fact is many of its best games ranging from high-profile titles like Sonic Adventure and Crazy Taxi to niche import releases like Guilty Gear X and Ikaruga have been ported to more successful consoles. There are, however, a f...

Frank West is a photojournalist, but I think he played a bit of football in college. I say this because in Dead Rising Frank bludgeons, maims, shoots, and burns more zombies than any Redfield has. Sensing a juicy story, Frank heads to a small Colorado town recently closed off by the military. Upon arrival, he discovers the source of the quarantine: zombies, zombies, and more zombies. Fortunately Frank has taken a page from a George Romeros script and found refuge at the local shopping ma...
I dont know the name of this world, but its a bleak, somber wasteland hoping to get by on scraps left behind by a dead people. An advanced civilization known as The Ancients originally spanned the globe until it was destroyed by an unknown cataclysm years ago.

An emerging civilization The Empire grows stronger by salvaging The Ancients God-like technology.

On the back of DreamFactorys The Bouncer (developed by makers of such fine software as Tobal No. 1 and Ehrgeiz), the tagline Play the Action Movie is prominently displayed. When I unloaded a whole six dollars on this game, I didnt realize that it literally felt like playing some forgettable popcorn flick with the occasional 30 seconds of brawling. Alas, I was tricked by the vaguely homoerotic cover art adored with the main character Sion Barzahd. I mean, Japan has...
Drakengard 2 will piss off Drakengard fans. Its your standard bad sequel, but it goes further than that. Developers Cavia actually took steps in the right direction and then blew it. With the tweaked mechanics of the flawed yet beloved original game, Drakengard 2 should have been a worthy sequel and one kick ass brawler. Instead, Cavia implemented other improvements in hopes of adding variety and eliminating repetition. The resulting game is an awkward mix of brawling, to...
I knew God Hand was special shortly into the game. After smacking around hordes of goons armed with sledgehammers, two by fours and spiked clubs, I found myself in the most unusual of situations. My character had entered a colorful hidden carnival in the middle of a dusty spaghetti western town. A stage could be seen in the distance showcasing dancing brawlers. A voice was then heard.

The reason I bought this foundation because of the cheap price. It is only cost me for 20 dollars. However, I found that the foundation oxidized very fast. After putting on for an hour, my face turn to darker colour shade! I was in the air-con room which shouldn't make the foundation melt/oxidize faster than the hot sunny environment. I was shocked when seeing the result! The foundation colour oxidized to a darker shade which really embarrassing!

Bought last minute to get me through a wedding. I usually wear I20 light ivory in Shiseido products; got 'shell' in the Photoready. It was a bit pale in the photographs later, but this could have been my fault (colour choice). Still, coverage was even all through the night, it does stay on and doesn't move around. No unwanted shine. 4 for all this.
Didn't break out with one day's wear (expected to, with the spf), but got a few small ones after 2-3 consecutive days (using jojoba oil and gentle face wash to remove it). I think it'd be ok every now and then, really just for events.

I read some of these reviews, and I am shocked to hear about some of the experiences that some of the reviewers have had. This is my favorite foundation in the whole wide world. My mom used to tell me that I should only use drugstore products for eyes and lips, and that I needed to search for more high end brands when it came to my face. Well, I went on a very important trip and left my Estee Lauder Double Wear at home. It was the epitome of a makeup emergency, and fortunately my hotel was right across a CVS. I ran in and left with the first liquid foundation that I could find. I'm not going to lie, I was terrified of what I was going to find. I left the store with a new foundation, and $14 less. As soon as I went back to the hotel, I tried it on. OK. You will not believe the texture, it was so luxurious. THIS FOUNDATION IS A DUPE FOR THE ARMANI SILK FOUNDATION. No joke. Even the packaging is similar. The pigmentation is actually better than some of the high end foundations. I came home at around midnight, and slept with my makeup on. I woke up, and It was still there. And guess what? Not a single break out.
The foundation is called Photo Ready for a reason, right? YES. The event that I went to required so much flash photography, that I'm still stunned. Usually my face has a little shine, but this time my skin looked so soft and smooth in every single picture that was taken. I haven't stopped using this product, and its so easy to remove. Just one wipe, and everything is completely off.
Please consider this makeup! You won't regret it!

I was looking for an inexpensive foundation comparable to Make up forever HD. I also needed a foundation that wouldn't aggravate my acne-prone skin. I originally wanted a neutrogena foundation because many people said its good for oily, acne-prone skin but unfortunately neutrogena didn't offer colours appropriate to my skin tone (NW50 in MAC Or 185 in makeup forever HD). I use Revlon Photoready in mocha which seems to suit my shade well for the winter months (I have yet to see if its appropriate for summer). Its shocking when first applied but trust me it oxidized well (to what seems like adapting to your skin tone) with in a few minutes. Its light weight but definitely build-able coverage. I mostly wear makeup for night with events/outings and prefer a full face. It photographs well (but ensure that you have given it ample time to oxidized). I have only noticed breakouts if I don't wash it off before going to sleep. I have extremely oily skin therefore I have to top it with a setting powder & Urban Decay De slick setting spray (and with all that I can go 3-4 hours before needing to blot). I would say it looks good for about 6-7 hours (then I'm a grease ball but that's the life on us oily peeps). I live in Canada and purchase it from Walmart or Target for $16 + tax. The packaging is very chic (glass bottle with a pump) but I accidentally dropped my 1st bottle while shaking it and it shattered into pieces (within the first week) and I had to buy another. So if you do the Math; I spent over $40 (I could have gotten the Make up forever HD for that price) so be careful. I would recommend this product those with similar skin type/complexion. I hope this review was helpful to someone out there. Take care xoxo

Sets quickly so you need to move fast when applying. Coverage is nice and buildable but not great for covering some dry patches on my cheeks. It makes that area look flakey :( so I recommend making sure your skin is smooth and exfoliated before applying.

this foundation is pretty good i got the color nude but it is too dark but still workable the coverage is medium but buildable i put two layers for a natural but flawless look this foundation is quite dewy but it does set fairly well when i first tried it on my hand i could see glitter but on my face its hardly noticible and definitely leads to a luminous finish without having to have a sticky feel its not as long wearing as colorstay but it lasts a school day without obvious wear i powder lights on areas i dont want to transfer/get oily and use a good primer which definitely increases the wear its a great foundation for the drugstore and i could see this working on most people ill repurchase probably but im always trying new things so it might change but this is a very good find

There's something to be said about a foundation that I consistently used for a period of time even though it made me break out. The cover and finish of the Revlon PhotoReady is amazing. I am NC25-30 and I used Golden Beige. A thin layer already covers every single flaw and has a brightening/glowing effect that still feels matte to the touch. I pulled a lot of all-nighters during college and this was the foundation I would reach for the next morning to look awake and fresh faced in class (even though I was really dying of fatigue). There is a lot of glitter in this foundation and I would not recommend it for days when you need to be out in the sun. The glitter is truly like pieces of glitter, not just fine shimmer. The formula is also a little drying and may settle into fine lines, but the glowing effect really masks this and you really can't tell unless you go up close. And lastly, the ingredients in here made me break out every time. So, this foundation is probably best for special events or presentations when you want to look really good, but I would not use it on a daily basis. I have since moved on from this foundation, even though I do miss that perfect-looking "photo ready" finish from time to time.

This is really good foundation. It makes my skin feel soft, and instantly brightens my face. It doesn't make my skin feel oily or dry. I would definitely recommend this product.

I'm a NC37 and Golden Beige is a great fit for me - it applies beautifully with a brush and it really brightens and smooths out my face. It's great for the price (around 7 or 8 bucks), and as someone who has used MAC and MUFE foundations before, definitely comparable to a higher-end product. I also like that it comes with a pump (something still lacking in some higher end foundations - I'm looking at you, NARS!), which makes dispensing the product very easy. As a plus, my friends always say I look extra pretty/glowy on the days I wear this foundation, especially in the winter when everyone's skin looks dull and dry.
- inexpensive
- pump dispenser
- applies evenly
- looks like your skin, but better
- photographs beautifully
- lasts for a long time (even without a primer)
- dewy look, which I like (I hate when a foundation is completely matte)
- Golden Beige is a beautiful summery tan color, looks great with a bronzer
- formula can be a bit too liquidy
- not a huge variety of shades

WAUSAU, WI--Ministry Health Care has announced the creation of a consolidated intra-facility courier service and the selection of a supplier to operate the new service starting in mid-June.
Through a competitive bidding process, Ministry selected Straight Shot Express of Marshfield, WI as the contractor for this service. Straight Shot Express is a subsidiary of Applefox, Ltd. The company's Marshfield, WI office will manage the operation. The firm specializes in courier/transport services and employs 80 people. It already provides a similar but more limited service to some of the Ministry sites.
The move is designed to bring significant benefits including:
Currently seven courier routes exist between selected Ministry operations in central and northern Wisconsin. The new service will create a singular combined route that will connect all operations on a regular schedule.
The timetable for implementation calls for the new contracted service to be in place by the middle of June.

Great American Bites: Tempting tacos at Scottsdale's Barrio Queen
The scene: For decades, pedestrian-friendly downtown Scottsdale has revolved around Old Town, a touristy historic district with an Old West theme-park feel and innumerable stores selling turquoise jewelry and silver belt buckles. But the past three years have seen a renaissance in a sub-district a few blocks away along the Scottsdale Canal, known as SouthBridge. Redeveloped for the 2008 Super Bowl, SouthBridge has thrived ever since, especially on the culinary front, and is now home to a collection of excellent and creative restaurants, among the best in Arizona, including The Mission, FnB, and Citizen Public House. I've tried them all, and it is very hard to go wrong here, but most of these are higher end places, many open for dinner only. For tasty, casual, affordable food all day long (6 a.m.-3 a.m.), the choice is simple: Barrio Queen.
Barrio Queen is owned by local legend and modern Mexican master Silvana Salcido Esparza. The space may be casual, but it's artfully decorated in a Dia de Muertos style with lots of skeleton and skull art, and colorful ceramic tiles and leather seating. It is also sort of industrial/urban with plenty of exposed pipes, metal and ducts, and has both indoor and outdoor seating. The indoor part is a bit dark, cool, private and escapist, while the outdoor seating is an engaging, sunny sidewalk scene, and there are even tables for guests with dogs. Either way, it is very welcoming.
Reason to visit: Corn dishes (elotes), tacos (especially cochinita pibil), weekend specials, breakfast.
The food: Chef Silvana Salcido Esparza is locally famous for her Barrio Café in Phoenix, with modern, upscale takes on Mexican cuisine. The idea at Barrio Queen is similar but simpler, tackling Mexican street foods in a casual setting, part of a nationwide renaissance of upscale tacos and Mexican regional cuisines. There is plenty of other stuff on the extensive menu, but with more than 50 varieties of tacos and 300-plus tequilas, it's safe to call this a modern taqueria and tequilueria.
The tacos are the main attraction, served on small house-made tortillas for $2.50-$4.75 each. Three is enough for most appetites, and the choices are endless, spanning seafood, beef, pork, veggies and a lot of variations of nopal, a cactus very popular in Arizona-Mexican cooking. A more creative example is the "arrachera, chorizo y azul," grilled flank steak with spicy pork sausage and blue cheese. Another nouveau version is smoked salmon with mango. More traditional is the delicious cochinita pibil, a slow-roasted pork shoulder dish from the Yucatan, shredded and topped with pickled red onions and pico de gallo. Another classic is "al pastor," cubed marinated pork with pineapple. Both the popular fried-fish and fried-shrimp tacos of the Baja peninsula are found here, in a Dos Equis beer batter. While some are unconventional and some very authentic, what you will not find is the Americanized taco, no ground meat of any kind. What makes the tacos here tasty is the ingredients -- whole pork shoulder, flank steak, house-made sausages, fresh shrimp and so on -- all topped with fresh salsas, pico de gallo and a variety of Mexican cheeses.
Weekend-only tacos are more adventurous, including duck confit with tamarind salsa and slow-roasted cow's head (the menu notes, "sorry, eyes & brains are first-come, first-served").
This food is ideal for sharing, and there is a large slate of appetizers including fresh guacamole with pomegranate seeds, super spicy habanero wings, and "conitos," a sushi hand-roll take on tacos. There are authentic regional specialties like tlacoyos (corn fritters) and huarache (blue corn fritters), blue- and white-corn quesadillas, fresh tamales, and two delicious takes on corn both worth trying: whole grilled ears with roasted pepper butter mayo, lime and cojita cheese, and vasito, a cup of fresh sweet corn kernels mixed with the same toppings and eaten with a spoon.
The restaurant is also open for breakfast and makes exceptional strong coffee, while offering creative dishes such as eggs with chorizo and sautéed onion, red or green enchiladas topped with eggs, and a personal favorite, chilaquiles, homemade tortilla chips topped with salsa, sausage, cheese and eggs, sort of a delicious breakfast version of nachos.
Everything we tried was good, some items very good (the cochinita!), and all fairly priced, interesting and satisfying. The same, unfortunately, cannot be said for the service, which was indifferent and unhelpful. If I had known my beer, coming from all of 20 feet away, would finally be delivered post meal with my coffee, I probably would not have ordered it. But as long as you are prepared to wait, a meal at Barrio Queen is worth the time, and especially good for groups of families ready to try lots of new things.
Pilgrimage-worthy?: If you are in the Phoenix/Scottsdale area and want to try a hugely creative slate of tacos, this is the place to go.
Rating: Mmmm! (Scale: Blah, OK, Mmmm, Yum!, OMG!)
Price: $$ ($ cheap, $$ moderate, $$$ expensive)
