Intensive Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy in Treating Young Patients Undergoing Surgical Resection for High-Risk Hepatoblastoma
Basic Trial Information
|Protocol IDs
|Phase II
|Under 18
Trial Description
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Giving chemotherapy drugs before surgery may shrink the tumor so that it can be removed.
PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well neoadjuvant chemotherapy works in treating young patients who are undergoing surgical resection for high-risk hepatoblastoma.
Further Study Information
- Determine the efficacy and short-term toxicity of intensified neoadjuvant chemotherapy in children with high-risk hepatoblastoma undergoing surgical resection.
- Increase the rate of complete surgical resection in these patients by fully implementing liver transplantation as a valid treatment option for tumor removal when partial liver resection or other surgical options remain unfeasible even after extensive preoperative chemotherapy.
- Determine, prospectively, the role of this regimen in rendering unresectable tumors resectable in these patients.
- Determine the accuracy of initial imaging in predicting the surgical options (after treatment with this regimen) for patients presenting with unresectable disease.
- Determine the overall survival and event-free survival of patients treated with this regimen (with an acceptable overall toxicity).
- Determine the toxicity of this regimen in these patients.
- Determine the response rate in patients treated with this regimen.
- Determine whether response to this regimen, defined by the modified RECIST criteria, can be used for better monitoring of response in these patients.
- Determine whether a fall in alpha-fetoprotein during this neoadjuvant regimen can be used as a prognostic factor in these patients.
- Determine, prospectively, radiological, surgical, and pathological characteristics of the tumor that might identify possible novel factors that might influence treatment choice and outcome in these patients.
OUTLINE: This is an open-label, multicenter study.
- Intensified neoadjuvant chemotherapy: Patients receive cisplatin IV over 24 hours on days 1, 8, 15, 29, 36, 43, 57, and 64; and doxorubicin IV over 1 hour OR over 24 hours on days 8, 9, 36, 37, 57, and 58. Patients determined to have resectable disease proceed to surgery.
Patients determined to have unresectable disease after neoadjuvant chemotherapy receive additional neoadjuvant chemotherapy comprising carboplatin IV over 1 hour on days 1 and 22 and doxorubicin IV over 1 hour OR over 24 hours on days 1, 2, 3, 22, 23, and 24.
Treatment continues in the absence of unacceptable toxicity.
- Surgery: Patients determined to have resectable disease undergo complete resection and possibly liver transplantation.
- Adjuvant chemotherapy*: Patients who undergo complete surgical resection receive carboplatin IV over 1 hour on day 1 and doxorubicin IV over 1 hour OR over 24 hours on days 1 and 2. Treatment repeats every 3 weeks for a total of 3 courses.
NOTE: *Patients who received additional neoadjuvant chemotherapy for unresectable disease do not receive adjuvant chemotherapy.
Patients are followed every 2-3 months for 2 years, every 3 months for 1 year, and then every 6 months for 2 years.
Peer Reviewed and Funded or Endorsed by Cancer Research UK
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 23-57 patients will be accrued for this study within 2 years.

Derek Hough Does Not Confirm Nor Deny Dating Kate Hudson
Gaze upon this luscious picture of Derek Hough as you process this news…
According to TMZ, The "Dancing with The Stars" alum was in Boca Raton Thursday (at a Tony Robbins seminar, yep, you can have a minute to process that, too) when a photographer showed up and asked him about the rumors that he was dating very newly single Kate Hudson. His response? Weird.
He kept saying that he's just trying to "have a good time," and this wasn't "the time nor the place to talk about that kind of thing." Check out the video HERE.
As you may or may not know, Hough and Huds were hot n' heavy at an L.A. hot spot last Friday. So if he's NOT datin' Kate, why doesn't he just say so?

April 14 (Tunica, MS)- Press Release- Brian Young, promoter of Zab Judah and last nights ESPN2 Friday Night Fights card, stiffed Judahs opponent Ruben Galvan and he blames it on ESPN. Brian Young told me that he had to wait for ESPN2 to pay him, before he could pay Ruben, said Galvans promoter, Octavius James of One In A Million Inc. Zab was paid. John Lewis, head of the Mississippi commission instructed Young to pay Ruben immediately. Young has not responded, only to blame ESPN. ..
Last night, my attorney contacted the Vice President of Fitzgeralds Casino Hotel and we are moving ahead with legal action against Brian Young and Prize Fight, Fitzgeralds Casino Hotel and the Mississippi commission, if necessary.
Last nights bout ended on the advice of the ringside physician after Galvan suffered a serious cut during the first round. It doesnt matter if that cut was from a punch or an elbow, Brian Young owes my fighter his check, James said.
Im not going to sit around and listen to Brian Young tell me the check is in the mail, James continued. Blaming ESPN is outrageous. Prize Fight sent and signed a contract. They either immediately pays my fighter in full, or my lawyers continue to go after him. If he cant afford to pay Ruben Galvan, I doubt he can afford to take on my lawyers.
This is another black eye to boxing, James said.
Ive been with One In A Million for years and they have always paid me, and every other fighter, in full and on time, said Ruben Galvan. I know that Octavius and his lawyers will get me my money.

ISLAMABAD: Hours after a blast near President Pervez Musharraf's Rawalpindi home, security personnel defused two rockets near the Parliament buildings on Thursday. Construction workers discovered the rockets close to the National Assembly near housing for parliamentarians.
Aside from the Parliament, the President's house, Aiwan-e-Sadr, the Supreme Court, and the Prime Minister's Office, are in the same area.
At the time the workers found the rockets, the President was addressing a conference at a nearby convention centre on the government's earthquake recovery programme, ahead of the first anniversary of the October 8, 2005 disaster that killed 75,000 people in Pakistan
On Wednesday night, an explosion shook Rawalpindi. It was traced to a park close to Army House, the official residence of the Army chief where Gen. Musharraf has chosen to stay on instead of moving into the presidential residence.

Teemu Mäki's extensive private exhibition addresses identity and cultural roles through photography. The exhibition consists of two series of photographs: "Be Your Enemy" and "How to Be a Woman or a Man?"
The Be Your Enemy series (2003–) was created in a workshop organised by Kiasma Museum of Contemporary Art for children and young people from eastern Helsinki. Three self-portraits were taken of each participant, each time in a role they had decided themselves. In the first picture of each triptych, the person represents their idol or role model, in the second themselves and in the third their worst enemy. The photographs reveal our unawareness of the influence of role models and at the same time they challenge us to review the values behind them with a critical eye. A person's identity and its expression becomes visible to others as a constructed one, not as an innate feature.
How to Be a Woman or a Man? (2003–) depicts an individual's fight against the pressures of culturally defined gender roles. At its worst, a gender role can be a prison limiting one's identity, but we can be liberated from this by understanding that roles are culturally conditioned and not biological facts. Under the pressure of culturally related gender roles, we tend to resort to various survival strategies: some of us adapt to the roles given, while others try to adjust them a little, and a few even start openly rebelling against them.
Artist, director, author and researcher TEEMU MÄKI (b. 1967 in Lapua, western Finland) became a Doctor of Fine Arts in 2005. Since 1990, he has worked as a freelance artist, except during the years 2008–2013 when he held the post of Professor of Visual Arts at the Aalto University in Helsinki. Mäki has held 50 private exhibitions and participated in more than 200 joint exhibitions. He has written and directed five plays and published five books.
This is how Mäki describes his work: My work is to play with art, politics and philosophy, using one or another tool.The result is often some sort of visual art, theatre, literature or theory.For me, art is the widest form of philosophy – the most flexible, diverse and comprehensive variety of philosophy and politics.

The exhibition Out of the Box will present more than twenty prominent Finnish artists and their most recent works. As part of the exhibition, works by one of the most renowned Finnish sculptors, academic Kain Tapper (1930–2004), from the collections of Kuntsi Museum of Modern Art will be on display. The Out of the Box exhibition will be participated in by founder members of the artist cooperative as well as newcomers.
The artists participating in the exhibition are: Stefan Bremer, Carolus Enckell, Petri Eskelinen, Susanne Gottberg, Radoslaw Gryta, Outi Heiskanen, Emma Helle, Eemil Karila, Pekka Kauhanen, Tapani Kokko, Markus Konttinen, Arto Korhonen, Jukka Korkeila, Markus Kåhre, Johanna Lecklin, Antti Oikarinen, Tarja Pitkänen-Walter, Jorma Puranen, Janne Räisänen, Antti Tanttu, Marianna Uutinen and Marko Vuokola.
The exhibition will be produced by the Cooperative Forum Box and Kuntsi Museum of Modern Art and curated by Juha-Heikki Tihinen. The Cooperative Forum Box was established in 1996 on the initiave of sculptor Kain Tapper. The Gallery Forum Box was founded in 1999. Today, the membership of the cooperative includes eighty Finnish visual artists. Members of the Cooperative Forum Box
The year at Kuntsi Museum of Modern Art will end with an exhibition by photographer Ismo Hölttö. This main exhibition of the year will fill both floors of the museum.
Photographer Ismo Hölttö (born 1940) documented Finns in their own living environments in the 1960s and '70s. Hölttö made extensive photographic trips throughout Finland. In addition to his home city Helsinki, he recorded life in remote areas and of minority groups, such as gypsies. A goldsmith, Hölttö developed into a technically skilled and visionary artist at the Helsinki Camera Club. In the early 1970s he opened his own studio, where he worked for the next three decades.
As a photographer, Hölttö is a sensitive observer with a warm sense of humour. His pictures bring to life the lives of Finns and small everyday details that have since disappeared. The exhibition is produced by the Ateneum Art Museum, where it will be on display from 10 April to 31 May 2015. The curator of the exhibition is Riitta Raatikainen.
In early February, the 80th anniversary exhibition The Arc of Light, by one of the great names of Finnish modernism, sculptor and Professor Laila Pullinen, will open at Kuntsi Museum of Modern Art. The exhibition features works by Laila Pullinen from different decades. In addition to her very physical and expressive stone and bronze sculptures, similarly scaled large drawings and photo reproductions of views from Pullinen's gesammtskunstwerk, Nissbacka Manor Sculpture Park, Vantaa will also be on display.
The selection presents various thematic periods of Pullinen's career through individually selected works, and the museum's beautiful facilities have enabled to present these in their own isolated entities: The Land of the Father, Italy; Enablers and patrons; Monumental works; Nissbacka; The Ecumenical "small chapel" of sacral works; Corpus & Anima: stone & bronze combination pieces, which together form a lifelong look on the Finnish woman artists career. New work from the year 2013 is also on show, among others, a set of drawings inspired by German choreographer Pina Bausch's production of Orpheus and Eurydice. The artist has personally designed the overall architecture of the exhibition.
Using shapes inherent in nature, Laila Pullinen makes her materials arc in exceptionally powerful movements, expresses extreme dimensions of power and energy with the arched form. In her works, the artist skillfully makes the light form arches and urges the material to reflect light, creating perfect formed structures.
Laila Pullinen's 80th Anniversary Exhibition Tour is produced by Lönnström Art Museum, located in Rauma. The museum is also responsible for the exhibition of the trilingual publication Arc of Light, which examines and presents the central themes of the exhibition. The publication includes the essay Arcs and curves: On the significant form in Laila Pullinen's work by art historian, PhD Juha-Heikki Tihinen. The bulk of photographs in the book have been taken by photographer Vesa Aaltonen at Pullinen's gesamttskunstwerk, the sculpture park at Nissbacka Manor in Vantaa, Finland last summer. The layout is by Minna Luoma / Candy Graphics. This publication and the exhibition have been sponsored by the Turku Kirjekuoritehdas and FILI / Delegation for the promotion of Swedish literature.
Polish artists Ewa Harabasz and Krzysztof Wodiczko, who have worked for several decades in the United States, will bring their exhibition to Vaasa for the spring. PEACE – An exhibition on the Abolition of War to be held at Kuntsi Museum of Modern Art is critical of the culture of violence. According to the artists, modern man can be liberated from the culture and concept of war altogether. The exhibition presents the output of these two Polish artists from the 1990s up to their most recent works from the past few years.
In Finland, the exhibition will be on view only in Vaasa, and it will be the first time the artists' works will be shown in a joint exhibition. It will include installations, video works, conceptual art as well as large-scale paintings drawing from Byzantine icon painting enriched with today's media imagery.
Krzysztof Wodiczko, who was born in 1943 in Warsaw, is internationally renowned for his conceptual, politically critical works of art which explore the role of violence in our society and our attitudes to war. Since the 1980s, he has realised more than seventy large-scale projections of images onto public buildings and monuments. Through his works, Wodiczko wishes to make the viewer realise how the public environment reflects our common history, especially our wartime traumas and political past. He is a professor at the Harvard University Graduate School of Design, where he directs the Art, Design and Public Domain program.
Ewa Harabasz combines, in the spirit of Caravaggio, photographs and paintings to create large emotionally evocative montages that resemble icons. As an artist she is interested in the artistic representation of human reactions, behaviour, bodily expressions and gestures during traumatic and tragic situations, and in how these are represented in today's media vis-à-vis traditional painting. She believes that modern media images are deeply immersed in the early Baroque painterly tradition. Harabasz was born in 1957 in Czestochowa. Her works have been exhibited widely in both solo and group shows around the world – in the United States, Europe and Israel. Currently Harabasz is teaching at Harvard University Graduate School of Design at Landscape Architecture department.
Thematically, the exhibition focuses on the depiction of peace on one hand, and of violence and catastrophes on the other, in Western culture. The exhibition is critical of the culture of violence and of phenomena such as the light-hearted idealisation of war introduced by popular culture. According to the views of the artists, conceptual artworks dealing with the themes of war and peace may help modern man to liberate himself from the tradition of reinforcing and maintaining the culture of war and violence.The exhibition produced by Kuntsi Museum of Modern Art is a joint effort in collaboration with the new Master's Programme in Peace, Mediation and Conflict Research (PEACE) at Åbo Akademi University in Vaasa and at the University of Tampere. In conjunction with the exhibition, an international seminar on the same subjects will be arranged on Saturday 1 February 2014 at Åbo Akademi. The seminar will be open to the public and free of charge. American docent, Douglas P. Fry, directs the Peace, Mediation & Conflict Research (PEACE) programme in Vaasa.
Kuntsi Museum of Modern Art in Vaasa organizes an exhibition displaying works by visual artist Esko Tirronen from 10th May to 28th September 2014. Esko Tirronen (1934–2011) was one of the pioneers in informalism and photorealism in Finland in the 1960s. The exhibition highlights two periods to both of which Tirronen made crucial contributions. The exhibition presents works from Esko Tirronen's entire career as an artist. The show also includes works that are on public display for the first time.
From the very start of his career in the 1960s Esko Tirronen was a notorious artist whose work was frequently seen in international exhibitions. His paintings were praised and vilified, because they always contained something new and unprecedented in Finland. The exhibition highlights two periods in the artist's career that were crucial for the internationalization and development of Finnish contemporary art. The first was informalism in the early 1960s, the other photorealism or hyperrealism in the 1970s.
Tirronen's painting style was a sensitive barometer of the times, indicating emerging trends in the art world. The informalism of Tirronens's early work changed into photorealism, famous examples being spray-painted sensual pictures of women. But he continued to produce also abstract motifs. Among the paintings in the photorealistic style, the public best remembers the so-called 'Esko's women' – female figures dressed in silk or in shorts, which became the subject of heated public discussion at the time. Some of these works were on show in the 1974 national ARS exhibition.
Esko Tirronen was one of the most influential artists in the Kymmenlaakso region in Finland. The exhibition is produced by the Kouvola Art Museum Poikilo where it was on display in 2013. It has been shown at the Lönnström Art Museum in Rauma during winter and spring 2014. In the summer the exhibition is shown at Kuntsi Museum of Modern Art and in the autumn it continues on to the Amos Anderson Art Museum in Helsinki.
The exhibition at Kuntsi Museum of Modern Art works from Esko Tirronen's entire career as an artist. Five of six paintings that were on show in the 1962 Venice Biennale are during this exhibition tour for the first time on show in Finland simultaneously. Also, the beginning of informalism in Finland is marked by these works from the biennale. Works in similar style had almost created a scandal when they were shown in the first ARS exhibition in Helsinki in 1961.
This year, the focus of the museums in Vaasa will be on the patrons and art collectors of the region. While Ostrobothnian Museum is celebrating the anniversary of art collector Karl Hedman (1864–1931), Tikanoja Art Museum will present the life work of its donator, Frithjof Tikanoja (1877–1964), and Kuntsi Museum of Modern Art will focus the spotlight on art collector Lars Swanljung (b. 1944).
During the summer, when the youngest of these local art collectors turns 70, Kuntsi Museum of Modern Art will display an impressive selection of works from the Swanljung collection, one of the largest collections of Nordic contemporary art in Finland. Since the 1980s, when Lars Swanljung first took to collecting art, the collection has developed into a versatile ensemble containing artworks ranging from colourful pop art to plain minimalism and from works by young newcomers to those by established contemporary artists. This year, the art collector has decided to donate the nearly 800 works of this growing collection to his birthplace, the city of Vaasa.
The exhibition A Discerning Gaze consists of several purchases made by Lars Swanljung in recent years as well as works familiar from earlier exhibitions. The works on display may make you think about the collector's interests. Is he interested in a particular subject or theme? Does a certain style or aesthetic character capture the collector's eye? The ensemble includes new works by established Finnish artists, such as Carolus Enckell, Lauri Laine and Marjatta Tapiola. The younger generation of artists is represented by, among others, Pasi Rauhala, Pasi Karjula and Janne Kiiskilä. In addition, works by Anne Koskinen, Silja Rantanen and Paavo Räbinä are shown, not to forget international artists in the collection, such as Ernst Billgren, James Rosenquist, Jim Dine or Roy Lichtenstein.
Kuntsi Museum of Modern art proudly presents the collection with the same sharp eye and discerning gaze as the collector himself. The association Friends of Kiasma recently nominated Lars Swanljung Friend of Contemporary Art of the Year. Through his acts and comments, he has been a highly significant player on the Finnish contemporary art scene. Whenever other actors in the field have been few and far between, there has always been one person – Lars Swanljung – who has unreservedly taken the side of novel contemporary art. He has both personally and financially promoted the development of Finnish contemporary art. Lars Swanljung has formulated his interest in collecting in the following statement:
"It would be easier for me, of course, if I were satisfied with limiting myself to what I already like and what I think I understand. But even if I still enjoy that, I notice that I long for something new, and challenging. Perhaps this search for new experiences, a kind of development need, is a prerequisite for serious art collecting generally. At least for me personally, that is an essential part of the attraction in collecting".
The final exhibition of the year at Kuntsi Museum of Modern Art is the group exhibition Homeland. It showcases contemporary artists with a link to the Kvarken region in Sweden and Finland. The exhibition will tour to Umeå and is collaboration between Ostrobothnia and Västerbotten, seeking to strengthen communication and interaction between Finnish and Swedish artists. The exhibition is on show at Kuntsi Museum of Modern Art 17.10.2014–25.1.2015 and at Västerbottens museum during the spring, 1.3–17.5.2015.
Homeland, hemland, kotimaa. What is home? Is it our birthplace or a place where we've grown? What do we remember of it, how has it shaped us and initiated us into the world? Or is it the place where we find ourselves now? To what extent does the notion of 'homeland' matter?
The main theme for the exhibition is the concept of homeland. To originate from the Kvarken region (or anywhere else for that matter) cannot be defined through language alone. Deep cultural associations with geography, territory, natural environment and climate form a part of it. Yet, it is something more, such as a deeply-felt attitude, state of mind, or emotional connection. The 12 artists from Finland and Sweden set out to question the notion of home and belonging, its historicism, and the various interpretations and images traditionally associated with it. The exhibition also considers the need to preserve cultural heritage and values inherent to it.
The exhibition is produced the Arts Promotion Centre Finland's Regional Office of Ostrobothnia and Kuntsi Museum of Modern Art in Vaasa and it is by a collaborative project between Region Västerbotten and Västerbottens museum in Umeå. Homeland is a project with a particular focus on dialogue and interaction. The two-way nature of the project, the exchange between the two regions, seeks to strengthen mutual understanding, communication and knowledge across the Kvarken. The exhibition is curated by Australian artist Catherine Bourne and Regional artist in international collaboration, Norah Nelson of the Arts Promotion Centre Finland's Regional Office of Ostrobothnia.
Most of the works are video works and installations, which have been developed and produced especially for this exhibition. The project started in August 2013. The artists participated in Art Camp Malakta, where they lived together and worked alongside each other for one week at Malakta Art Factory in Malax, Finland. There, plans were begun for their works for the exhibition in a programme that also included daily group discussions with the curators. The purpose of the dialogue was to develop a more critical and informed approach to their artistic work. A second workshop, Art Camp Gammlia, was organized in Umeå in August 2014 as part of the Umeå - 2014 European Capital of Culture programme.
The twelve artists selected by open call are: Sylvia Javén (FI), Nina Lassila (FI), Juha Mäki-Jussila (FI), Sebastian Mügge (SE), Maria Nordbäck (FI), Mattias Olofsson (SE), Jukka Rajala-Granstubb (FI), Gunilla Samberg (SE), Lisa W Carlson & Janne Björkman / Thinktank Imbalance (SE), Ulla Thøgersen (SE) and Anna-Mari Vierikko (FI).
A working group was created for the project, which included visual artists Robert Back, Mia Damberg and Tiina Laasonen as well as the curators at Kuntsi Museum of Modern Art Julia Svarvar and Pamela Andersson, art consultant Marielle Nylander at Region Västerbotten and exhibitions coordinator Suzanne Steneberg at Västerbottens museum in Umeå. The project has been supported by Svenska kulturfonden, FRAME, Kulturkontakt Nord, Pohjanmaan liitto, Vaasan kaupunki and Suomalais-ruotsalainen kulttuurirahasto.
Teemu Mäki's extensive private exhibition Who are you? addresses sexual identities and cultural roles. The exhibition consists of two large series of photographs, How to Be a Woman or a Man? and Be Your Enemy, supplemented with video works. The exhibition is on show at Kuntsi Museum of Modern Art 14.2. - 24.5.2015.
Guided tours to the exhibition Who are you? will be organised on Sundays at 1 pm in Finnish and at 3 pm in Swedish. Tours are open for the public and included in the price of admission.

The Kuntsi Museum of Modern Art was opened to the public in February 2007. The museum is situated in a former customs warehouse in the Inner Harbour of Vaasa. The building has 2,000 m² of space, which has been planned exclusively for museum activities. Thanks to the museum, both national and international exhibitions of modern and contemporary art are now a permanent feature of Vaasa's artistic life.
The Kuntsi Foundation, founded by Consul Simo Kuntsi (1913-1984), has had the clear intention from beginning to provide the public with different aspects of contemporary art as well as to collect and present art phenomena from the art world's recent history. This mission is now continued by the Kuntsi Museum of Modern Art.
In 1971 Simo Kuntsi brought his growing art collection to his former hometown with the ambition of expanding the already fine supply of art in Vaasa. He also made an agreement with the City of Vaasa, whereby the city promised to keep the collection in Vaasa as well as to organize space in the form of a museum for it. The premises of the Vaasa Commercial School provided a space for presenting the collection in the 1970s and 1980s. However, in the 1990s, the space available at the school was no longer enough to satisfy the demands of the modern art museum, and the search for new appropriate space for the art collection began. In 2000 the Vaasa City Council eventually made a decision to build a new museum for modern art based around Kuntsi Art Collection. Vaasa City planned and renovated the former customs warehouse to make it a suitable location for an art museum.
The base collection in the Kuntsi Museum of Modern Art is the Kuntsi Foundation's art collection – one of the most important classic collections of contemporary art in Finland covering pop art, kinetic art as well as committed art, informalism, surrealism, new expressionism, postmodernism… The more than 900 works forming the collection are a cross section of modern art history, from international modernists to the Finnish artists of today. But most of all, it is the classic collection of Finnish contemporary art created in the 1950s and onward.
The Kuntsi Collection is constantly growing and other nationally remarkable private collections are both deposited and donated in connection with it. Donations and depositions continue the work started by Consul Simo Kuntsi, and increase the importance of Vaasa in the modern and contemporary art world. Regular cooperation with other museums, artists and collectors in Finland and abroad further expands the museum's operation as well as the exhibition offerings of the most topical art.
Kuntsi Museum of Modern Art is also a forum for inter-artistic collaboration: music, literature, dance and theatre form a self-evident part in the museum's operation. The museum functions also as a teacher in art education. Different advised activities, guided tours, art clubs, workshops and lectures are organized in the museum. And an atelier called Studio has been especially designed for younger visitors. The Café Simo, a Museum Shop and an art library are also available for visitors' use in the museum.

We have long recommended that before purchasing a new appliance, you check the yellow EnergyGuide label to get an estimate as to how much it will cost per year to run the model you're considering, as well as to see how much that cost compares to similar products. However the testing that generates those figures is conducted by appliance manufacturers themselves and the estimates don't necessarily reflect actual usage in the home. The Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers (AHAM) has just announced that it will launch a third party verification program to confirm manufacturer energy ratings for refrigerators and freezers. Random third party testing will be conducted by an independent laboratory. While this program will be voluntary, AHAM has received preliminary commitments from most refrigerator and freezer manufacturers eligible for participation in the program, which is expected to begin in mid-2010. What does this mean to you? When you're shopping you'll be able to make a better educated decision as to how an appliance will actually affect your energy bill.

I was surprised to see that this product didn't get better reviews! I like it a lot. I use it as a highlighter on the tops of my cheeks. It does smell a little weird, but the smell fades.

When I first tried it, I thought it was okay. I mean it is quality for its price, especially when e.l.f. goes on sale all the time. However I stored it in one of my backup makeup pouches and didn't use it for about 4 months. I tried it again the other day when I grabbed the wrong makeup pouch and was in need of a blush/tint. Anyway, it was the worst! the formula essentially disintegrated into water and thickened shimmery product; and it was the water that keeps on squirting out due to the difference in pressure system. As if that wasn't enough, the liquid came out smelling very acidic and ROTTEN. I had to wash my face and hands with cleansers to get rid of the stench. Would definitely not buy again...

I have to admit that this product gives a nice subtle highlight (I have this in Lilac Petal) and very inexpensive. But I hate this product and not gonna repurchase because of one thing: it is too runy and watery! Well...to me it's just water with shimmer.
What I hate about that is:
1. Even if the packaging is small enough, I can't really go travel with this product because it will go burst the product out (since it's water...you can't put water in a tube and travel with it without having few drops bursting through the cap) and ruin my entire make up pouch.
2. I have to be really careful not to drop some product everytime I apply it...mostly ended up with the product leaving sparkly spots to my clothes. Ewww.
3. I like to mix my foundation/tinted moisturizer with some shimmer to make my face a bit more glowy, but it's almost impossible to do with this product. Because everytime I put few drops on the back on my hand (along with the foundation) this shimmer will just run down through my hand and then drop down to the floor. Just like water!
So yeah, basically I love everything about this product except the watery texture. Impossible to work with and/or travel. Maybe I'll try the ELF All Over Color Stick or ELF Shimmer Palette. I assume they're not as watery as the Facial Whip.

I picked this up in Golden Peach because I've been looking for a good peachy-gold highlighter for my cheekbones. I've been dying to try Benefit Sun Beam, but it's pretty pricey, so I decided to see if this would give me a warm, golden glow.
At first, I hated this. I applied it the same way I apply all my liquid highlighters -- getting a tiny amount on my finger, making 3 dots along my cheekbones, and blending out. Using this this way looked horrendous. I was left with a harsh line of thick, golden glitter across my cheekbones because it doesn't fully blend out, it just kind of sticks. I tried applying with a sponge and a brush, and it still didn't work.
Finally, I tried mixing a tiny dot of this with a tiny bit of facial moisturizer and blending it out this way. It works sooo much better. This tones down the chunky glitter and creates a dewy, peachy-gold highlight that looks great all day. I don't find this too frosty or gritty (as long as you mix it with a moisturizer), so I think this would look good on women of all ages.
Definitely check out Golden Peach if you've been looking for a light golden highlighter! The price definitely can't be beat.

Weird. Maybe I am using it wrong, but I can't imagine what look you'd be going for with this. If you're going for an ice-queen or fashion/artsy look, this would probably be worth the $1, but for normal people looks, this would look ridiculous.
Pros/cons, I'll let you decide: thick, seems to have good coverage and staying power as I could not get it off my hand, super frost look, non-fragranced, spreads ok, but does not have a gradual blend, convenient tube package.
If you are going for a NATURAL glow highlight (especially if you're over 30, like ME :) ) put this back on the shelf. If you just like to play with makeup, or you can pull off a frost look, then by all means, it's only a dollar.

I saw a youtube video about this stuff, and apparently there is one colour (the one I tried) that is just awful and watery, then there is another colour that is really pretty and has a good consistency. I think I will try looking for this other colour and find out if it really is nice. It's only a dollar so I won't be waisting my money if I'm wrong. I am a little disappointed that ELF would even keep this watery product out for sale. If they have one product that works great, and one that is terrible, why wouldn't they either fix the bad one or just stop selling it??
Here's my original review:
I honestly don't understand how this product has any good reviews. I'm a huge fan of ELF. I only have a few products from them, but I like them all so much. My sister bought this and we were both extremely disappointed. It's like shimmery water, and that's not even an exaggeration. I would probably get better results if I dumped a bit of loose shimmery powder in some water and spread it on my face. I will keep buying elf products, but this one will be going in the garbage.

What a great, cheap highlighter that looks natural! I use this on my cheek bones, the bridge of my nose and my forehead. It doesn't make me look oily, just gives my face some dimension and glow. The only complaint I have is the staying power, especially if you touch your face a lot.

This product is good. It does what it claims to do. But the problem for me is that it makes me look TOO shimmery. I go for a natural looking glow but this makes me look like I'm way over done.
Plus, I am not a fan of that texture on my skin after I apply my foundation and everything. idk maybe that's just me.

I remember getting this product when I was younger. I can't say I've used elf since I was a teen almost 4-5 years ago. This was one of the first products I used and I remember them having a lot of products for $1. I just browned the website and they added loads more stuff with higher prices. Makes me curious. Perhaps I will check out the Elf section when I go to target or kmart again.
ANYWAY, back to the product. It's an alright product. Good for highlighting. I used the one "Persimmon" and "Pink Lemonade" and they were good for slightly highlighting cheeks and eyes. Would not recommend for lips- it will look like you put cream eyeshadow on your lips. Would buy again- it's so cheap. I see they added a white/clear facial whip. I may try that one.

well, on the question of who is better for curbing corruption Cong or BJP, I want to say both are more or less on the same level as the both parties have chosen to play the verbal-sword game over really doing some ground level work.

Barring eight units, the Samajwadi Party dissolved its all district units in Uttar Pradesh on Sunday, a party spokesperson said.
"After the approval of party president Mulayam Singh Yadav, SP state president Akhilesh Yadav has dissolved all the district units of the party except Firozabad, Mainpuri, Kannauj, Badaun, Rampur, Azamgarh, Amethi and Raebareli," party state spokesperson Rajendra Chowdhury said in Lucknow. All the district/city units with its presidents and entire executives have been dissolved with immediate effect, he said.
Earlier on May 22, after the poor performance in the recently concluded Lok Sabha polls, SP had dissolved state unit of the party and 15 front wings associated with it.
The ruling party in the state was reduced to only five seats in the Lok Sabha polls (as compared to 23 seats in 2009) while the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and its ally Apna Dal clinched 73, while the Congress got two seats only.
Among the five seats, Yadav alone got two seats - Mainpuri and Azamgarh while Kannauj, Badaun and Firozabad seats were clinched by his daughter-in-law Dimple Yadav and nephews Dharmendra Yadav and Akshay Yadav respectively.
The party had been reviewing its performance since May 16, when the Lok Sabha results were declared.
