The Suns had a hard time keeping their focus when they wrapped up a perfect five-game road trip by beating the NBA champion Heat without Shaquille O'Neal and Dwyane Wade on Dec. 13 in Miami.
They gave back almost all of their 25-point lead before regrouping to hold on for a 99-89 win.
That concentration level will be put to the test again tonight when the artists formerly known as the Heat limp into Phoenix to begin a six-game road trip under the toughest of circumstances.
O'Neal (knee surgery) is still out and has yet to begin workouts. Wade, who sprained his right wrist on Dec. 27, hasn't practiced since and still has the wrist in a splint. He's with the team but isn't likely to play until later in the trip.
Antoine Walker and James Posey are healthy, but not healthy enough for coach Pat Riley. They were put on the inactive list Wednesday and stayed behind due to conditioning sanctions — they haven't met the body-fat thresholds Riley prescribed before the season.
Even Riley isn't in Phoenix. He took an indefinite leave of absence Wednesday and will have knee surgery today, followed by hip surgery that could keep him away for anywhere from one to three months.
Who's left? Well, five players (Jason Kapono, Udonis Haslem, Robert Hite, Alonzo Mourning and Dorell Wright) who combined for 67 points against the Suns the last time around. Not exactly what ESPN had in mind when they moved this game to 8:30 p.m. as the nightcap of a nationally televised doubleheader.
Heat at Suns
When: 8:30 p.m. today
Where: US Airways Center
Radio: KTAR (620 AM)
TV: FSN Arizona/ESPN
Series history: This is as lopsided as it gets. The Suns lead the all-time series, 27-9, including a whopping 15-3 margin at home. They beat a watered-down Heat team 99-89 in Miami on Dec. 13 and will face the same type of foe this time around.
Scouting report: Heat – They aren't very good at any level, especially on
offense, where they average just 93.3 points (No. 27). Obviously, they should
make the playoffs after Shaquille O'Neal and Dwyane Wade return, whenever
that may be. That plus their experience would make them dangerous in the first
round. But right now they don't seem likely to go beyond that.
Suns – It's hard to call a game against the defending champs a "little"
game, but the aura around the Heat disappeared quickly. Besides, the Suns
nearly always beat the Heat. This is a game the Suns need as they eye the
best record in the NBA.

The eponymous Jim is a young, good-looking, genial, and naive water-clerk on the Patna, a cargo ship plying Asian waters. He is, we are told, "the kind of fellow you would, on the strength of his looks, leave in charge of the deck." He also harbors romantic fantasies of adventure and heroism--which are promptly scuttled one night when the ship collides with an obstacle and begins to sink. Acting on impulse, Jim jumps overboard and lands in a lifeboat, which happens to be bearing the unscrupulous captain and his cohorts away from the disaster. The Patna, however, manages to stay afloat. The foundering vessel is towed into port--and since the officers have strategically vanished, Jim is left to stand trial for abandoning the ship and its 800 passengers.
Stripped of his seaman's license, convinced of his own cowardice, Jim sets out on a tragic and transcendent search for redemption. This may sound like the bleakest of narratives. But Lord Jim is also touching, elevating, and often funny. Here, for example, the narrator describes the ship's captain (proving that clothes do indeed make the man):
He made me think of a trained baby elephant walking on hind-legs. He was extravagantly gorgeous too--got up in a soiled sleeping suit, bright green and deep orange vertical stripes, with a pair of ragged straw slippers on his bare feet, and somebody's cast-off pith hat, very dirty and two sizes too small for him, tied up with a manilla rope-yarn on the top of his big head. You understand a man like that hasn't a ghost of a chance when it comes to borrowing clothes.This is formidable prose by any standard. But when you consider that Conrad was working in his third language, the sublime after-dinner story that isLord Jimseems even more astonishing an accomplishment.--Teri Kieffer--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Hiya, everyone!
I'm a PhD candidate at Colorado State and I'm just beginning my doctoral dissertation research on how WoW players think and feel about their avatars and what it means for senses of identity in virtual worlds. I'm looking for participants on Destromath and Tichondrius relams (Horde or Alliance ... doesn't matter). I've dubbed this study the AMPER Project: Avatars in Multi-Player Environments Research. You can go to my snazzy web site for full details: www.amperjay.com Part 1: A survey: The 10-15 minute survey is open to any WoW player (so please pass it along to your friends!). In the survey, you'll be asked questions about yourself, how you like to play WoW, and about your favorite avatar. The payoff: everyone who completes the survey will be entered in a drawing for one year of pre-paid game time. Part 2: Interviews: Based on responses to the survey, 20-30 people will be selected to participate in the second phase of the study. If selected, you'll be asked to do an interview over Skype where we'll talk more in-depth about your avatars and your experiences in WoW. Then, in a second session, you'll pick something for us to do in-game and we'll chat about avatars some more and how it has a place in the WoW universe. The payoff: everyone who completes the interview phase of the study will be given a guaranteed one-month game card. Through the whole study, as always, any information you submit will be confidential. As social scientists, we are held to high standards of ethics, lawfulness, and good science. The project has been approved by Colorado State University's review board and adheres to federal standards for protecting your rights and your privacy as a research participant. I promise - no scams, no need to enter account info, nothing shady. I'm a researcher - it's my job - I wouldn't put my own account or my career at risk. You can take the survey and (if you wish) sign up to do the interviews at the web site: www.amperjay.com If you have any questions at all, please let me know. Thanks! :) PS - tell your friends and guildies! |
P.S. ... I'm xfering an Alli hunter over to Destro for the study ... looking for a guild!
I filled it out I will let you guys know if it's legit.
Thanks for your help! Please spread the word ... I'm getting a *great* response across the board, but I especially need people on Destromath and Tichondrius servers (since they're the realms on which I have higher-level toons). I'll sacrifice a murloc for every person you tell. :) Thanks!
I have paladins everywhere including here. Real ID this patch allows you to form raid groups cross realm to do old raids and battlegrounds which were specified in the application as part of phase 2.
Definitely ... and that will work for some participants (and I'm totally making exceptions) but for others, they may want to go fishing, or world PvP, or other activities that require both avi's to been on the same realm. But thanks for the suggestion and for lookin' out. :)
I got no response from this person at all
What is the field that you are pursuing your PhD in?
Threats of violence. We take these seriously and will alert the proper authorities.
Posts containing personal information about other players. This includes physical addresses, e-mail addresses, phone numbers, and inappropriate photos and/or videos.
Harassing or discriminatory language. This will not be tolerated.

Nothing puts a strain on power grids like a hot, humid summer day. In many cities across the world rolling blackouts are needed to cope with the strain, so it makes sense that companies would start developing smarter cooling devices. Quirky's Aros air conditioner is leading the charge, but this smarter oscillating fan is pretty clever too.

So, totally missed my appt this morning. Completely forgot. They squeezed me in after lunch, right during DS2's naptime, but I at least got him to sleep in his carseat for an hour while we were driving and waiting.
I am freaking out slightly - I am on 2 week appointments now. I go back at 30 weeks. How did this go by so fast?????
Gained 5 lbs in the last month - up to 148 lbs now. So I've gained about 20 total so far. Baby was measuring good, heartbeat was easy to find. I go in Saturday to the lab to do my glucose test.
Anyone else freaking out about how fast time is going by???
I pushed my next appt to five weeks but after that I have one in three weeks. I assume it'll be two after that unless I can talk them into one more four week stretch (the office is just soooo far away, I hate driving for five minute appt!). I feel like I still have so far to go and yet so much is behind me now.
Glad your appointment went smoothly!
Glad they were able to work you in. I totally forgot about my last appointment and when I remembered it was 2 minutes before the scheduled time. I was 20 minutes away! Oops!
I'm trying to stay in denial about how quickly it'll be our time. I'm a little behind being nearer to the end of the month but I was also due at the end of the month with DS2 and he was born on the 3rd of that month. So, yeah...it's going fast!
Hope everything goes smoothly today with you GD test and you get good results.

Bring your artwork to life with the stylish lines and added depth of a metal print. Your image gets printed directly onto a sheet of 1/16" thick aluminum.
The aluminum sheet is offset from the wall by a 3/4" thick wooden frame which is attached to the back. The wooden frame includes a hanging wire for easy mounting on your wall (see photo on the left).
All metal prints ship within 3 - 4 business days and arrive "ready to hang" with mounting hooks and nails.
Metal prints are extremely durable. They're lightweight. They won't bend, and they're water resistant.
The high gloss of the aluminum sheet complements the rich colors of any image to produce stunning results.
For additional product photos and information, visit our metal prints product page.
Hering illusion. This illusion was created by the physiologist Edward Hering in the 19th century. It exploits the brain's understanding of perspective to fool it into thinking that the two horizontal red lines bow outwards. In fact they are straight and parallel. This is achieved due to the presence of the grey lines radiating from a point. They give the illusion of depth. In this 2D representation of 3D space a straight line would be drawn curving slightly inwards, since the part in the middle seems lower than that at the side. So, similarly, a straight line in 2D space represents a slight outwards curve in 3D space.
Science Photo Library was founded in 1981 by Michael Marten, one of the authors of "Worlds Within Worlds", a book exploring different ways to observe the universe - from electron micrographs, to images of earthrise taken from the Apollo spacecraft. When Marten started receiving requests for the beautiful images in the book, he had an idea of setting up Science Photo Library. Since then, Science Photo Library has continued to work alongside world acclaimed photographers and the leading science and medical experts to provide a central source of the best science and specialist imagery available. Although the collection started with scientific images, it has grown to encompass all aspects of science and their impact on everyday life.

| What can I do to get rid of anxiety without drugs?
I have a lot of anxiety including social anxiety. It's easy for me to rationalize that I shouldn't be afraid, but the symptoms still come. Taking deep breaths does not help at all. How can I get rid of it all? |

| Have you tried "Mindfulness"?
I'm new to it myself, but my therapist has asked me to try doing Mindful meditation. It's a specific type, created by a Buddhist monk and apparently it's gaining followers. She explained it to me, then I looked for Apps for my iPad (because I'm too lazy to buy a book, and I found a few, of course...lol). There's a lot of free info on the web about it. I haven't actually done the meditation yet, but I've been doing something that they recommend which is trying to refocus and "be in the moment". Or stopping and thinking about where you are, what triggered the anxiety, and yes taking a breath. But it's more about awareness than breathing. Now I've noticed that when I get stressed, I stop and stress over the fact that I haven't done the meditation and don't know more about it yet. At least it gets my mind of the initial stress... I wonder if there is anyone here who has more experience with it? |

Been an Adult Child of a Dysfunctional Family I first needed to see where all this Anxiety was Coming From before I could Do Something about it. Below is what has helped me..................I needed to be honest with myself and admit to them or stay in denial....I answered Yes to all of the Traits at the begining............I have Much Improved sense I first read them. I now know what happened to me .......So I can now change them. My Character traits...............That Cause me to be over anxious Here are Janet Woititz's Characteristics, published in her book Adult Children of Alcoholics. 1. Adult children of alcoholics guess at what normal behavior is. 2. Adult children of alcoholics have difficulty following a project through from beginning to end. 3. Adult children of alcoholics lie when it would be just as easy to tell the truth. 4. Adult children of alcoholics judge themselves without mercy. 5. Adult children of alcoholics have difficulty having fun. 6. Adult children of alcoholics take themselves very seriously. 7. Adult children of alcoholics have difficulty with intimate relationships. 8. Adult children of alcoholics overreact to changes over which they have no control. 9.

Adult children of alcoholics are impulsive. They tend to lock themselves into a course of action without giving serious consideration to alternative behaviors or possible consequences.

A good one is HALTS=Watch out for...been..Hungary.Angry,Lonely,Tiered,Serious COPING STATEMENTS FOR DEALING WITH ANXIETY ABOUT ANXIETY I don't have to make myself anxious about anything, or put myself down if I stupidly and foolishly do make myself anxious. My anxiety is bad, but I'm not bad. I don't always have to feel comfortable, and it isn't awful when I don't. I can bearand bear withanxiety: it won't kill me. It is not necessary to be in perfect control of my anxious moments. To demand that I be in control only multiplies my symptoms. Others are not required to treat me with kid gloves when I feel uncomfortable. The world doesn't have to make it easy for me to get a handle on my anxiety. Anxiety is a part of life; it is not bigger than life. My over-reactive nervous system is a part of my life, but it's not bigger than life. I can take my anxiety with me when going places and doing things that I am reluctant to do (or stay isolated). Controlling my anxiety is important, but hardly urgent. Comfort is nice, but not necessary. I don't have to be the one person in the universe to feel comfortable all the time. I'd better not feel calm, relaxed, and serene all the time, because if I did, I'd have one dickens of a time motivating myself Anxiety and panic are burrs in my saddle: highly inconvenient and uncomfortable, but hardly awful. I don't have to hassle myself or put myself down for not coping better with my anxiety. This, too, will likely pass. I can blend in with the flow of my anxiety; I don't have to go tooth-and-nail, head-on with it. If I feel anxious, I feel anxioustough! I may have my anxiety, but I am not my anxiety. I don't have to shame or demean myself for anythingincluding creating tight knots in my gut. Feelings of awkwardness, nervousness, or queasiness may interfere with my projects, but they do not have to ruin them.

In the Big AA book it says..........We thought we could find an easier softer way,but the result was nill until we let go Completely,or words to that effect. Extreme Worry and associated Anxiety Comes from a dysfunctional Family Upbringing . We worry, worry,worry,For no good reason but to feel miserable. This is the way I have Been For Most of my Life....It needs to stop..... But to Stop it I need to Understand Where Its Coming From. This is My Formula to understand.... IT...it....it...it Been Honest.........Im Powerless over this Emotion 1...I have a need to worry 2...Worry is my obsession 3...I would not be me if I did not worry 4...Worry has been part of my life sense I was a child 5...Worry is an Inherited Emotion that was overused in my family of origion. 6...Worry is ment to keep me safe not Try to Destroy me. 7...Worry has a useful place in my life and need only be used in extreme Situations..........that invaribly have a Positive Outcome. 8...If I organise my life in a more Thoughtful way I will not have a need to Worry in the extreme. 9...This Emotion needs to be Made Dormont and used only when a good reason to use it exists. 10...My HP will always be there in times of need........I need never doubt..Amen

I too suffer from this. It is ultimately what triggered my alcohol and drug dependence - although I see other issues as I work at recovery, do an inventory, etc. The steps or some version of an honest evaluation can really help. Mindful Based Anxiety Reduction (an online program) is a very good tool. I also read a spiritual description online that really resonated - it is driven by a deep-seeded fear of giving and receiving love. There is a wall that we've put up, driven by fear and distrust, that inhibits us from expressing love - thus reducing the love we receive back. I can't word it as succintly as the essay did, but if you're adept at googling and the internet you could search for it. I wish you the best.

I find the restroom- go be alone for a few minutes close my eyes and ask myself "what is really going on here?" If I can concentrate on the reality of the situation, list known facts in my head, and not my perception I usually calm down, cause 90% of the time it's all ok. *If it's worth being anxious over, my anxiety will come in handy to deal with the situation.

Corey F. for Model Number JGBP90MEB2BC
Answer Hello Corey. You should be able to remove the back panel of the control panel and access the screws to remove the control panel.
Was this helpful?
John for Model Number JGBP90MEB1BC
Answer Hello John. Here are the instructions from the manufacture. Hope this helps. Grasp the light panel cover at the rear, where it is hinged to the control panel. Lift upward at the rear, just far enough to insert a small, thin bladed screw driver between the end cap and the fluorescent light cover. Slide the blade forward toward the front while lifting upward on the cover. Be sure to wrap the blade of the screw driver with tape so as not to scar the plastic shield. Remove screws on endcaps, which secure the endcaps to the control console. Be careful when removing the endcap not to break the locating tab at the bottom of the endcap. LOOSEN screw. At the bottom of the control panel . DO NOT REMOVE. This screw is just long enough that it will protrude into a slot in the side frame, causing the panel to bind as you slide it down and forward. Loosening the screw a couple of turns will back it off enough that it will no longer protrude into the side frame slot. Grasp the face panel at the bottom front with one hand, while gently pushing down on the top of the control panel with your other. Pull panel downward to release it from the vent deflector while at the same time pull the panel off.

I'm looking for a camera zooming effect like the one used in Tiny Wings, where the camera zooms out based on the characters height.
I want the character to start zooming after it reaches a set height and I want the zooming to be non-linear so that the character gradually gets closer to the camera bounds as it goes higher up the screen.
I'm currently using the following code to scale linearly
camera.scale = MIN(1, SCREEN_HEIGHT*0.7 / player_position_y);
This results in the player always being 30% away from the top of the screen. I'm trying to find an elegant solution that will result in the player going between 30% from the edge of the screen to 10% from the edge of the screen depending on how high in the game world the character goes.

More reviews by longereyelashes
A good eyelash curler, especially when I heat it with hot water. I believe it was 4.00 and it was a good buy as it really helps my short, short eyelashes. I have the silver one with white pads.
My only complaints are that it has a tendency to pinch my skin and that the pads wear out very quickly. I've had it since January or February and I've already broken the first pad and the extra one that came with the curler is almost used up.
Only way for my curl to last with this thing is if I heat it up with my blow dryer. Plus, the curl doesn't even last that long. Shiseido is hands down better than this crappy one.
More reviews by sweetshiningstar
I don't know if this is the eyelash curler I have, or the Pro. I got it sometime in high school, I think, and I'm out of college now. Mine is silver with a while rubber pad that's never needed to be replaced.
This is my first eyelash curler, and I've never had to replace it. I use it every day.
It never pinches or hurts me, it just curls my lashes well, and my eyelashes look great at the end of the day.
I did buy a new one from Elf because everyone was raving about it, and it was just a dollar (the mechanical one). But it pinched my eye! So I went back to this one, and I've never regretted it.
This was the first lash curler i have ever bought. I liked how it came with an extra rubber pads. I found it odd how it curls my right eye properly but not my left eye. For the left eye, it gets my lashes all clumped together and is hard to curl the outer lashes. i find that i have to curl the root to middle to the ends of my lashes. The curl holds longer when i heat it with a blow dryer but i heard it was unhealthy for lashes. I'll probably be giving the shiseido lash curler a try and using the revlon as a back up.
Price: $7.99 CAD(on sale) at shoppers drug mart
I've had this for almost 4 years and I love it! It doesn't pinch my lashes and gives a nice, natural curl. I've bought other eyelash curlers but none compare to this one. I'm very satisfied!
I love this eyelash curler.
I holds the curl, and it doesn't pinch my eyelid, like ones I've used in the past. I have managed to lose a few of these, and tried using others, but I always come back to this one. So whenever I lose this one, I will re-buy. It's a great product.
I like this but then again i dont like this . What do i mean ? I like the fact it curls my lashes so well . I HATE the fact that it pinched me sometimes and didnt get my outer lashes :( .
When I first got this eyelash curler I was pretty pumped! It was cheap and worked well. I had trouble fitting all my lashes in though... One day when I was using it broke! I wasn't even pressing that hard!! It pulled out some of my eyelashes when it broke and they are still growing back!! AHH, I do not recomend you get it! One good thing about it though is that it came with extra replacement rubber things :P
This is one of my go to products. My eyelashes are stick straight and therefore I need a lot of help. I have bought this curler countless times. It works for me but I'm not overwhelmed by the results. Sometimes I only get an L shaped curve on my lashes and to avoid this I try to only use this curler to lift the lashes and curl them with a spoon (I know this sounds crazy but it's real). The curl doesn't last that long if I don't apply mascara. This eyelash curler works best when I warm it up with my hair dryer. It's gentle and I've never pinched my eyelid. I wanted to try a fancier one and I got the one from MAC but it turned out to be a total failure for me. I'll buy shu uemura next but this curler is one of those products you can always get back to if everything else fails.

Jan 21, 2010, 07:38 PM | |
what I did was put the cheap training gear you can get (with the orange balls) on and popped it up into a hover. I took the time to make sure the swash was level, blades were tracking as good as they can get, and the prop/gain on the 4-in-1 was set. First hover I trimmed it out. I would check out Nuttcaze's video on setup for the HBFP http://www.myrcguides.com/HBFPV2.html I had been flying the mSR quite a bit and did a few minutes of hovering with my father's Blade 400 (with training gear) before I flew my HBFP - so I knew I could pop it up and control it somewhat. On to the diary 1/20/2010 - Evening Winds were calm here around 4 pm CST. I took the HBFP and the SA out in the front yard for some flying. Carnage! I was flying the HBFP way beyond my abilities..trying FF, banked coordinated turns, etc. Ended up having to chop the throttle or hit my roof - the crash from about 30' up split the frame in half! New frame ordered and on the way. I should have took this as a sign, but did not. Pack 1 on the SA was 7 minutes of tail in hovering and scooting around. I'm sliding left and right to give myself some pre-side in orientation training. I also did some very high hovering. I'm typically around head level. This pack I did some pumps up to 2-3 stories high and held the hover up there. It's quite a bit different, but manageable. Pack 2. It's darker now and without the help of the street lights, I can't see. I had forgot the street light closest to me is having issues and goes on and off every 10-15 minutes. Tail in about 30-40 feet above me and about 20 feet in front of me the light dies and I quickly loose orientation..can't tell anything about what the bird is doing. Since I'm close to houses and neighbor's cars I decide to chop the throttle some and try to put it in my yard. I THOUGHT I was level but neigh, apparently I was tail down. *SMACK* right before impact (in normal mode) i cut the throttle. SA smacks the ground and parts go flying..I hear a whirr that sounds like what you might expect after killing Robocop. Damage: Tail boom 1x Blade Grip Feathering Shaft (noticed the dampers are worn) tail linkage horizontal fin boom supports main gear main blades tail belt (no visible damage but this thing is a few years old and isn't looking great) blade holder bolt/nutx1 1x canopy mounting post Servos seem ok..and the head SEEMS ok. I plan to tear the head down just to be sure Now I'm assembling my HK450 while I wait on parts for the SA. I have the cyclic servos in, ds480 tail servo, boom with belt set the right way and right tension, Used an align tail linkage as the stock one sucks, replaced the frame hardware with Align hardware. I just need to set the cyclic servos up, put the arms on, setup the head, solder bullets on the motor/esc, put a spare rx in, continue radio setup, set the tail and tail gyro up. Should be flying this weekend EXI 450 comes in tomorrow and my Honey Bee FP / SA replacement parts come in between Monday->Wednesday. I'm going to be busy. Crashing the HBFP resulted in a busted frame, which is rare. Nothing else on the heli broke! Crashing the Trex resulted in a lot of misc broken things (and I'm sure I'll find more things broken as I tear it down). FP training definitely is quicker and cheaper. I also find the Trex easier to fly than the FP. I get the feeling that if a person can fly a FP heli to it's limits, a CP is butter. |

Advancing the interests of Australia and Australians internationally
Other information
Australia is supporting Tonga's recently established democratic system of government and strengthening Tonga's systems in health, education and skills training, and the management of public finances. This will help the Tongan Government to deliver future services and reduce its reliance on foreign aid.
Tonga has achieved high standards against many of the Millennium Development Goals, but the Tongan people face increasing health problems, particularly the rise in non-communicable diseases, as well as low employment prospects (particularly for youth).
The aim is to develop a more efficient public sector, including in procurement and financial management.
Public sector assistance in Tonga
The aim is to improve infrastructure, particularly maintenance, to increase the proportion of Tonga's population with reliable and affordable links to markets and services.
Infrastructure assistance in Tonga
The goal is to build a more highly skilled workforce linked to industry demand.
Education assistance in Tonga
We are working to reduce the prevalence of non-communicable disease risk factors such as smoking and obesity and strengthen Tonga's focus on primary health care.
Health assistance in Tonga
Australia is working closely with Tonga to improve the standard of curriculum and teaching in primary schools to help Tonga achieve improved education outcomes. Australia will also fund a new, high quality technical vocational education and training program to lift workforce standards and provide employment opportunities to Tongans at home and abroad.
Tonga Aid Program Performance Report 2012–13
$12 million, 2012-2015
This initiative will provide support to primary schools and early childhood education; MET through the development and overseeing of the Program Coordinator team, teacher registration, update regulations and policies; knowledge development and dissemination; support for enhanced quality of Tonga Institute of Education.
Australia will invest in Tonga's human capital through health investments. Support to improve primary and preventative health care in Tonga to reduce the prevalence of non-communicable diseases and improve the quality and efficiency of the health system will be continued. A broader assessment of Tonga's health sector challenges will also be undertaken in collaboration with the Tongan government.
Schedule to the Partnership for Development between the Government of Tonga and the Government of Australia: Implementation Strategy—Improved Health
Australia will invest in improved infrastructure, including working in partnership with the World Bank to repair critical infrastructure, such as airports, roads and ports, in Ha'apai damaged by Cyclone Ian, and to improve the management and condition of Tonga's road network. Joint Australia-World Bank assistance for road maintenance is being undertaken in a way that has helped to create a locally owned road contracting industry, by tendering maintenance work in small packages and by providing training and business advice to small contractors. A new renewable energy project co financed by Australia and the Asian Development Bank will also install on and off-grid solar energy equipment in Tonga's outer islands to reduce vulnerability to oil price shocks and increase energy efficiency.
Tonga National Infrastructure Investment Plan 2010
Australian aid supports Tonga to pursue effective governance—including prudent economic management and debt reduction—and private sector development, by linking aid payments to mutually agreed reform benchmarks. Support for Tonga to pursue appropriate fiscal and economic policy settings will be the centre-piece of Australia's aid to Tonga in 2014-15.

Really delicious. I think its my favorite WW recipe. I make with frozen mango, easier and cheaper.
This is really good! A nice change with lots of flavor.
This was so good! My non-Weight Watchers boyfriend said it is his favorite Weight Watchers dish so far. It had so much flavor. I followed the recipe exactly and probably let it marinate about 4 hours or so and it had tons of flavor.
My family loved this recipe! Will cook this again in the near future!

not very sturdy Purchased for my daughter-in-law for post baby work-out. She says that it does seem very stable, and feels like she is hitting the ground when she bounces. Not really happy with this purchase.

How to Exercise on a Trampoline
One way to make exercise more exciting is to exercise on a trampoline. Mini trampolines, or "rebounders," have become a very popular way to work some low-impact aerobic activity into your day. The soft rebound of the trampoline reduces stress on the joints while still working your muscles and lungs. Mini trampolines also let you stay inside while you work out, and they are one of the more affordable pieces of exercise equipment. If you're considering buying a rebounder for exercise, or if you already have one and aren't sure how to use it, keep reading for information on how to exercise on a trampoline.
Trampoline FAQs
Trampolines are a fun, simple way to play and get exercise at the same time. You can start having fun on a trampoline as soon as it's assembled, but the more time you spend on your trampoline, the more interesting tricks you can perform. And, although they are fairly simple to use, there still are some things to consider about using your trampoline.
Tips on Trampoline Exercise
Bouncing on a trampoline offers more than just fun; it provides physical exercise and improves motor coordination. Trampolines range in size from small, personal fitness models to large bouncing surfaces that allow the jumper to perform advanced exercise skills while reaping the benefits of an aerobic workout. Trampoline exercise tones the muscles through low-impact rebounding, making it a beneficial choice for adults as well as children.
Safety Tips for Children's Beds
Children's beds act as an empty canvas just waiting to realize its potential. To a child, a bed is not just a place for sleeping, but a place for secrets, toys, and make-believe. Kids' beds can become pirate ships or spaceships and change just as quickly into a covered wagon or castle. Their imagination knows no bounds, which can sometimes lead to accident-prone afternoons. The ever popular "Let's-pretend-the-bed-is-a-trampoline" game usually ends in tears. To keep your kids as safe as possible, make sure you follow these safety tips and make sure your children's beds meet the following safety guidelines.

Rising: Pictureplane
By Tom Breihan on July 28, 2009 at 1:00 a.m. EDT
Photo by Rita Minissi
Pictureplane is Travis Egedy, a 24-year-old electronic producer based in Denver. On his forthcoming album Dark Rift, Egedy takes various strains of dance music-- big room house most prominently-- and runs them through all sorts of scuzzy punk rock filters, bringing the music closer to experimental psych-rock. On the Best New Track "Goth Star", Egedy smears distorted bass all over an ethereal Fleetwood Mac sample, creating something that sounds wrong but all the better for it. When Pitchfork's Amy Phillips caught his set at SXSW, she had this to say: "Pictureplane reminds me of that time in high school in the mid-1990s when all the punks I knew suddenly turned into ravers."Lovepump United will release Dark Rift on August 4. Though he has released several home-recorded CD-Rs, this is the first Pictureplane album to receive wide distribution.
We spoke with Egedy about the Denver scene, Beirut's Zach Condon, and galactic calamity.
News in Brief: Numero Group, Pictureplane, Choir of Young Believers, Twilight Series
By Tom Breihan on June 1, 2009 at 10:25 a.m. EDT
-- The sound archaeologists over at the Numero Group have unearthed yet another lost gem. This one, A Lovely Sight, is a reissue of the 1969 album by obscure Illinois psych-rockers Pisces. It's due June 2.
-- On August 4, Lovepump United will release Dark Rift, the new LP from Denver noise-dance producer Pictureplane. In September, he'll head out on tour with kindred spirits/remix clients HEALTH.
-- This Is for the White in Your Eyes, the debut album from the reverb-drenched Danish chamber-pop crew Choir of Young Believers, is due August 14 in the U.S. from Ghostly International. It's already been nominated for six Danish Grammys, so look out.
-- Salt Lake City has a summer free concert series to rival anything the big, major cities have to offer. This year's installment of the Twilight Concert Series (no vampiro) kicks off July 9 with Bon Iver and Jenny Lewis. Later in the summer, Sonic Youth, M. Ward, the Black Keys, Iron and Wine, Okkervil River, Human Highway, N.A.S.A. and Q-Tip will all stop by. -

-- On April 7, L.A. space-punkers HEALTH will release a new song "Die Slow", as a 7" single on Lovepump United. On the B-side, there's a Pictureplane remix of the track. You can stream both the original and the remix here. Later this week, HEALTH will head off on a European tour.
-- It's sophomore album time for the London retro-rock trio Noisettes. Their Wild Young Hearts is due from Vertigo on April 20 in the UK.
-- Brooklyn psych-noise four-piece Pterodactyl are also getting set to drop their second album. On April 21, Brah/Jagjaguwar will release their Worldwild.
-- Scotland has to be the one of the very few places on the face of the Earth where the Fall can headline a big two-day festival. That eternally cranky band tops the bill at Glasgow's Hinterland Festival, which will go down April 30-May 1 in 15 local venues. Sons and Daughters, Simian Mobile Disco, Metronomy, and Micachu will also play. -
SXSW Sat: PJ Harvey, Indian Jewelry, Pictureplane, Deradoorian, Zola Jesus
By Amy Phillips on March 22, 2009 at 9:25 p.m. EDT

Tom Breihan's SXSW Report: Wed | Thu | Fri | Sat
Ryan Dombal's SXSW Report: Wed | Thu | Fri | Sat
Amy Phillips' SXSW Report: Wed | Thu | FriPictureplane [Mohawk; 8:15 p.m.]
Pictureplane reminds me of that time in high school in the mid-1990s when all the punks I knew suddenly turned into ravers. Everybody traded in their tight black jeans for baggy JNCOs and switched from pot to ecstasy, and for a brief time, they all acted happy instead of pissed off at the world. (These people probably drive Volvos and listen to Andrew Bird now.) Pictureplane, aka Denver knob-twiddler Travis Egedy, marries noize and day-glo beats, creating a kind of happy hardcore for the Todd P crowd. He has remixed the likes of HEALTH and Crystal Castles, but Pictureplane also wields an arsenal of original compositions, which were on display at this performance.
For his set opening the Panache Booking/Lovepump United showcase, he stood behind a table full of equipment draped in a blanket with trolls and magic mushrooms on it, wearing a baseball cap and oversized 2Pac t-shirt. As Pictureplane's candy-colored racket echoed across the nearly empty Mohawk patio, most people milled about, chatting with friends or fucking with their cell phones. But then, magically, a kindred spirit materialized: a hippie guy with a bandana on his head and a backpack on his back appeared at the front of the stage and broke out some truly intense loose-limbed dancing, as if he was at a midnight Disco Biscuits set at Bonnaroo. You go, dude.
Deradoorian [Mohawk; 8:50 p.m.]
Dirty Projectors multi-instrumentalist Angel Deradoorian had a busy SXSW, performing multiple times both with her main band and solo. Despite being out of breath from rushing to this set from another one, Deradoorian somehow quickly achieved a zen-like state of calm as she played. Her bluesy voice undulated like the tide over her sparse guitar playing, her songs meandering off down atonal corridors. She rarely played chords, instead focusing on single notes, so when a few chords did ring out at the end of "The High Road" (off of Deradoorian's forthcoming solo EP Mind Raft), it served as a cathartic tension-breaker.
Unfortunately, while Deradoorian entranced on the Mohawk's indoor stage, AIDS Wolf was tearing shit up on the patio. Every time someone opened the door leading inside the venue, Deradoorian was drowned out. It kind of served as a metaphor for SXSW in general: chances are, the loud bands flouncing around making lots of noise and causing problems are probably the ones to ignore. It's the quiet ones you should watch out for.
PJ Harvey [Stubb's; 10 p.m.]
Polly Jean Harvey stepped on stage in a sleek white dress designed like a straitjacket (belts around waist, knees, and shins) and it's on. She was in full-bore theater diva To Bring You My Love mode, plastic feathers in her hair and no instruments in hand. She actually seemed genuinely happy up there, smiling frequently to reveal impish dimples with an ease and calm missing from her music. (For good reason-- who wants to hear a relaxed, easy-going PJ Harvey song? Not I.)
The too-brief set only consisted of songs from the two albums in which Harvey shares co-billing with multi-instrumentalist John Parish: 1996's underrated Dance Hall at Louise Point and A Woman a Man Walked By, which comes out next week. Parish lead Harvey's black-clad backing band through an austere performance, melting into the background while Polly did her thing up front. I'm not a fan of most of the songs on A Woman, but there is no second-guessing PJ Harvey in a live setting. A restrained take on plodding first single "Black Hearted Love" opened the set, but by the second song, "Sixteen, Fifteen, Fourteen", Harvey let fully loose, somehow shimmying seductively in that restrictive dress while guttural growls erupted from her tiny frame. Louise Point tracks like "Civil War Correspondent" and "Taut" rumbled with primal fury, the latter's "Jesus save me!" chorus providing the most cathartic sing-along of my entire SXSW experience. Even delicate falsetto A Woman duds like "Leaving California" and "The Soldier" were undeniable, sucked into the vortex of Harvey's onstage magnetism. And I can't even describe how awesome it is to watch PJ Harvey scream "I WANT YOUR FUCKING ASS! I'LL STICK IT UP YOUR FUCKING ASS!" in "A Woman A Man Walked By".
The set ended with "Pig Will Not", with lyrics that mostly consist of Harvey shrieking "I WILL NAWT-UH!" over and over again like a royally pissed Mark E. Smith. Needless to say, she unleashed the fucking fury. Such a shame the set ended after only 40 minutes, especially when the acts afterwards were the Indigo Girls and Third Eye Blind. Sigh.
Zola Jesus [The Music Gym; 11 p.m.]
The original plan was to catch Blank Dogs' set at the Music Gym at 11:20. For some reason, Blank Dogs had been pushed back several hours. But according to fellow Pitchforker Jason Crock, the act playing in Blank Dogs' place, Zola Jesus, was pretty good, so we stopped in to check them out. And thus began one of those magic SXSW moments you hope for every year: randomly stumbling upon something you've never heard-- or even heard of-- before, and being blown away.
Stuffed in the back of the Music Gym (a cramped tin shack with a low ceiling), a woman rolled around on the floor while a keyboardist conjured up a Suicide-like dream drone. Now, usually, a woman rolling around on the floor at a noise show means unbearable cat-in-heat screeches, but not Zola Jesus. This woman had a florid, unearthly voice that was truly beautiful, and she was singing actual notes! Big, loud, ringing notes! We only caught the last two songs of the set, but the second one was a gorgeous cover of Jefferson Airplane's "Somebody to Love" that sounded like it was on sizzurp. Goosebumps.
Thanks to Google, I have since learned that this woman is a 19-year-old named Nika Roza Danilova and she's from Madison, Wisconsin, and has records out on Troubleman and Sacred Bones (this was the Sacred Bones showcase). I am kind of afraid to listen to any of her recorded music for fear it will ruin the memory of how great these few minutes were.
Indian Jewelry [The Independent; 12 a.m.]
My 2009 SXSW experience ended in a slick warehouse/loft/art gallery/big empty room off of the highway that looked like the kind of place high fashion magazines rent out for photo shoots or where extremely cool parties happen that only, like, Chloe Sevigny and Matthew Barney know about. But for tonight, it was hosting the Load/Dull Knife showcase, and it actually turned out to be the perfect place to experience the noise cyclone that is Indian Jewelry. Playing in a corner next to trippy film projections on an enormous wall, and with plenty of strobe light action, the Houston, Texas crew turned the place into a mini Warhol Factory. They bludgeoned eardrums and chest cavities with white-noise sheen over an oozing, thunderous rhythmic throb, and looked pretty damn cool doing it.

A very enjoyable experience. Loved the surroundings and nail tech was awesome. She took her time and did a beautiful job on my pedicure and gel nails. The salon is spotless clean and the nail file and buffer are thrown away or given to you after their use. I would recommend John Robert's Salon to my friends and family.
Great facial- hands on during the entire session. Pricey, but worth it for the facial. Did not offer sample products though, as other spas do.
Bad haircut- split ends are still throughout. Stylist was not attentive or engaging to the customer. Extremely overpriced. Definitely would not recommend for haircut.

After all, nobody should start drinking Champagne on an empty stomach! While you may not want a huge, sit down meal, it's nice to have a wide variety of healthy and tasty snacks. To learn how to create a wedding day snack pack, click the "Start" button.

This is such a good idea! A good friend of mine was just the MOH in a total Bridezilla From Hell!!! wedding, and the Bride completely forgot to provide her attendants with snacks. Not pretty.

Very important! I am a total bitch when I am hungry (plus I get kind of sick) so my husband made my mom and MOH promise to keep me fed. They carried granola bars and stuff and it came in handy. On a crazy day like that you don't have time to sit down to a meal.
