Man Mo's candle-lit temple style restaurant is located at NewQuay, Docklands, offering exquisite waterfront dining with uncompromising harbour views. Man Mo's menu features an extensive selection of dishes inspired by the ingredients and cooking styles of the Chinese and Malaysian cultures. The resulting modern Chinese/Malaysian food is served with a European flourish and includes signature dishes such as Truffle Beef, Kiwi Scallop and the renowned Man Mo Parcel - a mixture of prawn, chicken and vegetables wrapped in pastry, steamed and served with a clear, reduced broth.
Boasting an interior space that is white, light and airy, Man Mo also
features a casual dining area alongside a well stocked bar where visitors are encouraged to sit back and relax. Glass walls slide back when the weather's fine, allowing diners to eat al fresco.
In addition to the main restaurant, an area situated on the promenade seats diners with fine waterfront and city views. Set behind the glass at the restaurant's back walls are two pure gold figures of Chinese gods: Man Cheung (God of Literature) and Kwan Yu (God of War) adorned with rafters and gold leaf details.The Man Mo Temple in Hong Kong pays homage to these two gods.

Why Are Keyboards QWERTY?
The arrangement of the first six letters in the top alphabet row of a standard keyboard – QWERTY – goes way back. The layout was created in 1873 when Christopher Latham Sholes made improvements to his earlier typewriter models in order to design a quicker and more efficient typewriter for E. Remington and Sons.

PHILADELPHIA - SEPTEMBER 27: Jamaal Charles #25 of the Kansas City Chiefs makes a break against the Philadelphia Eagles on September 27, 2009 at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. (Photo by Chris McGrath/Getty Images)
Chiefs running back Jamaal Charles and wide receiver Dwayne Bowe injured ribs in the first half against the Browns on Sunday. Charles, who scored on an 80-yard run on the first play from scrimmage, got hurt on a 15-yard run in the second quarter. He got up and tugged at the bottom of his shoulder pads. He went to the sideline and was checked by doctors and trainers. He sat out one offensive series before returning with 4 minutes left in the first half. On Saturday, Charles attended the funeral of Kasandra Perkins, who was fatally shot last week by Chiefs linebacker Jovan Belcher, who then took his life. Bowe went to the locker room with a rib injury at the end of the first quarter. Earlier, he had a 47-yard reception. The team said Bowe's return is questionable. --- Online: http://pro32.ap.org/poll and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL

A backlink is a search engine optimization (SEO) term used for links that point to your site. You may have also seen them called inbound links or incoming links. Regardless of how often a search engine's algorithm changes, backlinks are almost always an important ingredient.
Why? Because backlinks are a good indicator of how popular or relevant your site is. Although outbound links have no impact on SEO, backlinks actually do. Always have, always will.
For example, if you create a sports car niche blog site and place links to the top sites in the world (i.e. Top 3 as of this post are www.google.com, www.facebook.com, www.yahoo.com), it would be pointless for SEO purposes. Otherwise, everyone would do it what I just did (by listing outbound links) on their blogs, even if they have absolutely nothing to do with the content.
On the other hand, let's say your sports car niche blog site, actually had quality posts. Now imagine if one of the top sports car sites, say www.motortrend.com, posts links your blog on a regular basis. Essentially, you have a power player (under 5k Alexa, PR6) in your niche community vouching for the content on your blog site. Shouldn't that represent that your blog site has valuable content for that audience?
Remember, this is just part of the top secret search engine formula that the public will never fully know. However, since we know that it's important and it's somewhat easy to do, doesn't it make sense to ensure we get some backlinks on our site? And I didn't even get into the PR juice!

Hadassah: The Women's Zionist Organization of America will pay back $45 million of the money it made in the Bernard Madoff scam.
Hadassah President Nancy Falchuk in a letter Thursday told the organization's supporters of the settlement reached by the group with the trustee of Madoff's estate.
The organization, which began investing with Bernard Madoff Securities in 1988 with a $7 million gift, deposited a total of $40 million in its Madoff accounts, and by April 2007 had withdrawn $137 million. The last account statement showed approximately $90 million at the time the fraud was discovered.
The $45 million is half of what Hadassah earned unwittingly in the scam. With the settlement, Hadassah avoids a lawsuit by the trustee, Irving Picard, who already has sued a number of individuals, organizations and foundations that made money in the Madoff fraud.
"As painful as it is, this settlement is in the best interest of Hadassah," Falchuk wrote in the letter. "It allows us to put this chapter behind us, and move forward with our critical life-affirming mission. A charitable mission praised by the trustee for its philanthropic value."

YIELD: Makes 4 servings
ACTIVE TIME: 30 min
TOTAL TIME: 1 1/2 hr
Cut top third of each asparagus stalk diagonally into 1/2-inch-thick slices, reserving tips and slices together, then coarsely chop remainder. Bring water (5 1/2 cups) and 1/2 teaspoon salt to a boil in a 3- to 4-quart saucepan, then add chopped asparagus and cook, uncovered, until very tender, 6 to 7 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to a food processor (not a blender, which would require adding liquid).
Add reserved asparagus tips and slices to boiling water and cook, uncovered, until crisp-tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer with slotted spoon to a sieve, reserving cooking liquid in pan, and rinse under cold water to stop cooking. Drain well and reserve in another bowl.
Measure cooking liquid and, if necessary, add enough water to bring total to 4 cups, then reserve.
Cook onion with pepper and 1/4 teaspoon salt in oil in a 4- to 5-quart heavy pot over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Add barley and cook, stirring, 1 minute.
Add wine and boil, stirring, until liquid is absorbed, about 1 minute.
Add 4 cups reserved asparagus-cooking liquid and bring to a boil, covered, then reduce heat and simmer, covered, until barley is tender (it should be chewy) and mixture is thickened to a stewlike consistency, 35 to 40 minutes.
Meanwhile, mince garlic and mash to a paste with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt using side of a large heavy knife, then add to asparagus in food processor along with zest and purée until smooth.
When barley is cooked, stir in asparagus purée, asparagus-tip mixture, and enough additional water to thin to desired consistency and cook over moderate heat, stirring, until hot, about 1 minute. Stir in cheese, then season with salt and pepper. Serve with hazelnuts and additional cheese on the side.
Cooks' Notes
·Barley can be cooked in about half the time in a 6- to 8-quart pressure cooker. Follow recipe, cooking onion in pressure cooker, uncovered, then adding barley and wine as directed above. After adding asparagus-cooking liquid, seal pressure cooker with lid and cook at high pressure, according to manufacturer's instructions, 18 minutes. Put pressure cooker in sink (do not remove lid) and run cold water over lid until pressure goes down completely. Remove lid and continue with recipe, using pressure cooker (without lid) as a pot.
·Asparagus can be cut and cooked, chopped stalks puréed, and cooking water reserved 1 day ahead, then chilled in separate airtight containers.

Chicago White Sox (10-15) at Texas Rangers (17-9), 8:05 p.m.
Probable Starting Pitchers: Chicago - Chris Sale (2-2, 4.09)
Texas - Nick Tepesch (2-1, 2.53)
(Sports Network) - Chris Sale looks to win a third straight decision over
Texas on Wednesday evening when he takes the hill for the Chicago White Sox in
the second contest of a three-game set with the Rangers.
A solid reliever over the first two seasons of his career, Sale jumped into
the White Sox's rotation last year and won 17 games while posting a 3.05
earned run average. He faced the Rangers twice as a starter and won both
decisions while allowing six runs and striking out 10 over 13 2/3 innings.
In the left-hander's lone career start at Rangers ballpark, he allowed five
runs in 6 1/3 frames of work but escaped with a 9-5 win on July 27.
Sale snapped a two-start slide with a win over the Tampa Bay Rays on Thursday,
logging seven innings while yielding two runs on four hits and four walks. He
did strike out seven batters for the third time in his five starts this year
and has pitched at least seven innings in all but one of those outings.
"I think the last couple starts he's been in and out of consistency. Tonight,
he worked his way through it, and in the end you're look at what you would
expect from him," White Sox manager Robin Ventura said.
Sale, set to pitch one day after turning 24 years old, is 2-2 with a 4.09 ERA
on the season.
Taking the hill for the Rangers will be rookie Nick Tepesch, who showed no
ill-effects in a win last time out after leaving his previous start due to
The 24-year-old recorded five outs versus the Seattle Mariners on April 20
before exiting the game after taking a line drive off his right wrist. He was
able to make his next start on Thursday in Minnesota and notched his second
career win by holding the Twins to a run on five hits over 6 2/3 innings.
Tepesch did not walk a batter for a third straight outing and is 2-1 with a
2.53 ERA in four starts.
The right-hander will face the White Sox for the first time looking to give
his club a series victory after the Rangers took Tuesday's opener 10-6.
Adrian Beltre capped a six-run sixth inning with a two-run homer, while Mitch
Moreland went 3-for-3 at the plate with an RBI. Nelson Cruz and Jeff Baker
added back-to-back solo homers with two outs in the fourth inning.
"We all had big games tonight," Moreland said. "Hopefully we can have a few
more of them."
The offensive explosion allowed Yu Darvish to come away with a win despite
allowing four runs on seven hits over six innings. Texas snapped a two-game
slide and won for the eighth time in its last 11 games.
The Rangers also matched the second most wins in franchise history in the
month of April with 17. They exited the month with 18 victories in 1998.
Texas catcher A.J. Pierzynski was held out of the lineup against his former
team due to soreness in his oblique muscle. Pierzynski, who spent his previous
eight seasons with the White Sox, could also sit out tonight, with a left-
hander scheduled to take the hill for Chicago.
Dewayne Wise, after starting the season in a 2-for-22 slump, went 4-for-4 with
a two-run homer while Adam Dunn added a solo shot in the White Sox's third
straight loss. They have also dropped seven of their past 10.
Jose Quintana only lasted five innings after surrendering four runs on eight
hits, and the Rangers immediately broke open a 4-4 game against Chicago's
bullpen in the sixth.
The White Sox relievers combined to allow six runs on just four hits and three
walks over three innings, with Matt Lindstrom taking the loss.
"We gave them a few extra opportunities, and those are the ones that end up
biting you," White Sox manager Robin Ventura said.
The White Sox won six of nine meetings with Texas last season.

The temperature had pushed past 90 degrees, but the 6th-grade teacher from Parkville didn't hesitate to pull it over her head as onlookers snapped photos of her and the surrounding orange-clad legion of Orioles fans.
This was how summer was supposed to feel for a Baltimore baseball fan. The fellowship reminded Hall of childhood evenings in Waverly, where she could see the lights of Memorial Stadium from her back porch and hear the crowd chanting "Eddie, Eddie."

Primary Petroleum Corporation (TSXV:PIE,OTCQX:PETEF) provided technical updates on its Pondera-Teton Prospect located in the Southern Alberta Basin Bakken Fairway in NW Montana.
Seismic Program
• Primary has completed five 3D seismic programs covering approx. 95 sq. miles and one additional 37 sq. mile program is currently being permitted.
Initial six vertical stratigraphic wells:
• All six wells were drilled vertically into the upper Duperow formation, ranging in depth between 4500-6500 ft. All wells were cored across various sections of the "Bakken System" (lower Lodgepole, Bakken, Three Forks and Big Valley/Upper Potlatch).
Three supplemental vertical wells:
• All wells drilled into the upper Duperow formation, with one well cored across the Nisku formation.
Primary has requested and has been granted by its JV Partner continued Operatorship for the balance of the drilling and completion operations in the Phase I program.
Horizontal Program
• Primary has commenced the horizontal drilling program and is anticipating at this time to drill three or four horizontal wells, each targeting a specific reservoir zone by the end of September 2012. The Company is also anticipating the conclusion of completion operations by the end of October.

Alert No. 316
November 2004
Slick; Model 6310; Impulse Coupling Failure; ATA 7414
During an engine run for a 50-hour aircraft inspection, the right hand magneto was inoperative.
A technician found the magneto lying on top of the engine with a broken mounting flange. He also found the impulse coupling had come apart during the engine run, seizing the magneto, and then breaking the flange.
The submitter indicates the magneto had 125 hours since the last 500-hour inspection. At that time, the impulse couplings were within specifications as indicated in the Slick maintenance and overhaul manual. A search of the FAA Service Difficulty Reporting System database revealed 9 other reports of magneto failure.

Home Alone?
"Ninety-nine percent of refugees in the world want to go home." "The one thing that all refugees want is to go back to their own country." "Most refugees desperately want to go back to where they came from."
Such statements, drawn from UNHCR publications produced over the past decade, initially appear to make perfect sense. Having been forced to leave their own country in an involuntary manner, it seems logical that refugees would want to return to their homeland once it is safe for them to do so.
But the reality can be quite different.
There are a number of reasons why refugees might not choose to repatriate, even if they are offered transport back to their country of origin and reintegration assistance once they arrive there.
First, refugees are spending increasingly long periods of time in exile—20 years or more in many cases. Even if they are not officially allowed to integrate in their country of asylum and be recognized as citizens of that state, they may nevertheless establish successful livelihoods, develop strong social networks, and give birth to children who have never been to or even speak the language of their putative country of origin. For such refugees, going "home" might be more of a wrench than staying put.
Second, even if conditions at home have stabilized, the violent nature of the events that refugees have endured and which forced them to flee in the first place might have been so traumatic that they simply cannot think of returning to the place where those atrocities took place.
Such scenarios are envisaged in an often neglected clause of the 1951 UN Refugee Convention, which states that refugees should not be expected to return to their own country if they can demonstrate "compelling reasons arising out of previous persecution." Many refugees from current conflicts involving intense cruelty and large-scale killings, such as those in Central African Republic, South Sudan and Syria, seem unlikely to repatriate for precisely this reason.
Third, we live in an increasingly mobile world, and refugees are no exception. A growing proportion of the world's exiled populations do not want to go home, but want to move on—by means of resettlement or migration—to places that offer them greater safety, better opportunities for them and their children, and the chance to be reunited with family members and diaspora communities.
And once they have moved on, such refugees will probably not choose to go home until they have acquired the nationality and passport of an industrialized state, meaning that they will have the option of leaving should their previous country of origin descend into chaos again.
Unfortunately, the international community has failed to take adequate note of these trends, and have grown increasingly attached to the notion that repatriation is the only logical outcome. Thus in 1951, when the UN refugee agency, UNHCR, was established, the organization's statute gave equal billing to two solutions for refugees: "the voluntary repatriation of refugees" and "their assimilation within new national communities."
In successive decades, however, the states which govern UNHCR through its Executive Committee increasingly prioritized the former of these approaches. In 1983, for example, the Committee stated that repatriation was "the most desirable solution for refugee problems." And in 1996, it described voluntary repatriation as "the most preferred solution" to refugee situations.
As indicated by the quotes at the beginning of this blog, the international community continues to think about solutions for refugees in this very limited way. And that is unfortunate.
The time has passed when refugees are prepared to live in camps for years or decades on end, in the distant hope that they might be able to return to their own country one day. Increasingly, they are leaving their camps or bypassing them altogether, taking up residence in cities or moving on to other countries and continents where they find a more productive way of life.
That is exactly why refugees from so many countries—Eritrea, Somalia, and Syria, to name but three—are now making their way to Libya and other North African countries, hoping to cross the Mediterranean and begin a new life in Europe. And that is exactly why refugees from countries such as Afghanistan, Iraq, and Sri Lanka have been making their way to Australia, rather than remaining in Indonesia.
Given the experiences they have been through in their countries of origin and transit, and in view of the aspirations which they have developed, we should not expect such refugees to be queuing up for what others have erroneously deemed to be the best solution for them.

1 cup
dry milk powder
3 tablespoons
all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons
ghee (clarified butter), melted
1/2 teaspoon
baking powder
1/2 cup
warm milk
1 tablespoon
chopped almonds
1 tablespoon
chopped pistachio nuts
1 tablespoon
golden raisins
1 pinch
ground cardamom
1 quart
vegetable oil for deep frying
1 1/4 cups
white sugar
7 fluid ounces
1 teaspoon
rose water
This is a spectacular recipe! I've tried several LOTS of different recipes from this site and this is one of the BEST! I didn't have any Rose Water or the nuts or raisins so I just left them out. Wonderful! Make sure you brown them enough in the oil so that they keep their round shape. Mine went a bit flat in the syrup. I used more ground cardamom too, my mom and I just LOVE cardamom! I will use this recipe again and again! Thanks for the recipe!
uber tasty.
unfortunately the dough doesnt bind, and you can fix that by adding more powdered milk to a good consistency. not too doughy, but just enough that it holds the shape of a ball.
31 Ratings
I love gulab jamun, but this recipe doesn't have the right proportions in the dough. Even so, the cooking technique is SPOT ON. If you want to make this recipe as is, just work milk powder into the soft dough by kneading until it is solid enough to hold a ball shape without flattening. Do divide the dough into 20 balls even though they seem small. They are very rich! Also, let your oil cool a bit before adding the second batch by removing it from the heat for a few min. It is important to make the syrup in a large fry pan so there is room for all your little donuts to soak. Cheers!
I'm a big fan of gulab jamun and the recipe for rose water syrup is spot on, but this dough recipe needs serious alteration. The dough refuses to set! After adding what felt like a ton more powdered milk (as recommended by another reviewer), I added more flour and it set perfectly but DO NOT DO THIS. The balls came out beautifully shaped but tasted like rose water bisquick pancakes, lol. I recommend slowly adding nearly double the powdered milk called for and testing the dough frequently until it becomes manageable. Also, to make galub jamun the traditional size (so they stay moist), your dough balls need to be the size of ping pong balls, regardless of how many you produce. Best of luck!
As other reviewers have said, the dough part of the recipe is off. I added about twice as much milk powder - the dough held its shape at this point. After resting on the counter for 20 minutes, the dough felt almost like rubber and I was concerned, but it turned out great! I also added two cinnamon sticks and a pinch of ground cinnamon to the syrup.
Also, when you first drop the dough balls into the hot oil, they will stick to the bottom - I used a wooden spoon to get them off the bottom and they floated pretty quickly. Just move them around for a few minutes and then follow the recipe until the end. I expected these to be mediocre and they were AMAZING. (note: I didn't add any of the optional ingredients).
Recipe for dough does not bind, it is runny and not able to form balls from it. I agree with Effie, add more dry milk until able to form balls. I tried adding more flour but it made it too doughy. Next time I will try more dry milk. They should be spongy not doughy.
terrible recipe.the dough did not bind
I made this for the first time, using a bit more powdered milk and less fluid milk, and it turned out delicious! Just like in the restaurants! My husband and in laws were pleased and I will use this recipe again.

YOU can have too much of a good thing, it seemsat least when it comes to physiotherapy after a stroke. Many doctors believe that it is the key to recovery: exercising a partially paralysed limb can help the brain "rewire" itself and replace neural connections destroyed by a clot in the brain.
But the latest animal experiments suggest that too much exercise too soon after a brain injury can make the damage worse. "It's something that clinicians are not aware of," says Timothy Schallert of the University of Texas at Austin, who led the research.
In some trials, stroke victims asked to put their good arm in a slingto force them to use their partially paralysed limbhad made much better recoveries than those who used their good arm. But these patients were treated many months after their strokes. Earlier intervention, Schallert reasoned, should lead to even more dramatic improvements.

"CAO and Rocky Patel together. Do I really have to tell ya how good these are? If you're new to cigars, these are not for you, because they are full strength. But, for the more experienced, these are pure Heaven."
"Fantastic flavor profile in both cigars. However, the Rocky Patel Edge that I received did not burn well at all. Every one of the cigars smoked needed constant relighting which left a burnt flavor in the second half. Not sure if it was just a bad batch or a common issue with this cigar."
"The CAO Brazilia is one of my favorites but I am returning the Patel Edge they are hard as a rock and won't draw at all. I got 2- 5 packs of them and have tried 3 of them wanted it to be just a a single cigar issue it's not there is something wrong with all of them. love all of the patel line but these were the worst constructed sticks I have ever come across"
"cao's are great, but the edge/bad uneven burn"

"CAO and Rocky Patel in the same house! Can't go wrong with these two. One of the best couplings CI made to date, and enjoyed each one down to the fingertip burning nub. Definately would order again, and I can only aplaude the Smokey Joe that dreamed up this marriage."

A woman from Narok is rejoicing after she gave birth to four kids at the Kijabe Mission Hospital on January 1. Thirty-five-year old Regina Nyambura said she was scanned months before the delivery and found to be pregnant with the quadruplets.
Speaking yesterday at her hospital bed when she was visited by Kiambu senator aspirant Terry Kairu, Nyambura said she has named the four Precious, Angel, Victoria and Joy.
"The names came from the Bible as I have conquered joyfully and it's a blessing from God to have four kids at one time. I and my family count it as a miracle from God," said Nyambura.
She said that she was hoping for a boy because she has two other girls, Brigate Wairimu, 14, and Abigail Wanjiku, 5. Her 38-year-old husband Lawrence Gitau said he is happy with the safe delivery of the quadruplets.
"We wanted a boy but God has given us four girls. We are grateful and we shall take care of them until they grow up," said Nyambura.
Doctors at the hospital are optimistic that the kids will survive despite their being born prematurely. Pediatrician Barasa Immaculate said the four were delivered in their seventh month.
"The children were not fully mature and weighed between 900gm -1kg. We have put them in the incubators for the next two months," she said. Peter Bird, the hospital's director said they mostly deliver triplets.
Meanwhile, the hospital communications officer Nelson Kimilu has lamented over bad state of the road leading to the hospital from the Nairobi-Nakuru highway.

Jonathan's interest in cricket commentary stems back to a fascination with the unusual timbre of Trevor Bailey's voice, which he first heard in 1968, before most people were born.
In those days cricket interrupted the usual programmes on Radio 3 for the whole day and this was a metaphor for Zoob's lifelong passions for cricket and serious music.
Whereas he attained a decent standard as a pianist, he remained a truly dreadful cricketer, forever scarred by having to face a tearaway fast-bowler armed with a leather ball in the back garden without pads or box.
This phobia caused his invariable step towards the square leg umpire (did Mike Denness have such an excuse in 1974/5? ).
A love of the game sprang up nevertheless and finally found its outlet as a Brearley-like captain of the Old Alleynian 3rd XI, winning many games with his astute powers of observation, cunning use of tactics and once or twice, sharp practice of which Bailey would have been proud. Now that his decrepit back is liable to go into spasm at any exertion, he restricts his cricketing activities to the sofa.

Activity vs. Productivity
July 2010
Anyone who has been following the Career Zone during the last few months knows that job loss can happen to anyone…even the subject matter expert who is writing the articles! I have wanted to be transparent with you all about my own current job search so that you can take my experiences and lessons learned and apply them to your own situation.
During a job search it can be very easy to feel like a hamster running around on a wheel, not getting anywhere. Albert Einstein once said, "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."
It has been a little over 3 months since my last day of work, and I have been crazy busy. It really is true that finding a job is a full time job. I am actively networking and using my personal positioning plan in the process. Prior to developing my positioning plan I was finding that I was getting frustrated that I was not seeing more progress in my search. Now that I use that plan during some of my conversations, the conversations are much more productive.
During my search, I have spent a lot of time speaking to others who are in a similar situation about their search progress and I noticed that many people feel like they are busy with a flurry of activity that is yielding little or no results. Everyone sounded very active, but not very productive.
Emailing résumés, applying for jobs online, phone or information interviews are all examples of activity. They are primary steps in the job search process. Remember, you are not being seriously considered for a specific position until you are sitting in front of a hiring manager, discussing a specific opportunity that has been budgeted and approved.
It's very easy to get caught up in activity that is not productive. And increasing activity may not get you closer to your goal of finding a new job. When your job search gets stalled, it is important to recognize this quickly and adjust your job search approach accordingly. Search smarter, not longer.
Some steps you can take to make your search smarter and be more productive include:
The job market has changed and techniques you used years ago do not necessarily work today. So instead of getting caught up doing the same thing over and over, look for ways to be more productive with the activities you do, and step out of your comfort zone and try new approaches. I took a fresh look at my own job search and made some minor adjustments to my approach, and because of it I have had six interviews in the last ten days. Imagine what being more productive could do for you!

Thank god Merck can't patent the tomato. Just imagine if drugmakers discovered some legal loophole that allowed them to move foods that function like pharmaceuticals from the produce stand to the prescription counter. We'd all end up needing a doctor's note (and a hefty co-pay) to give our prostates the protection offered by tomato sauce and our arteries the salvation promised by salmon.
The only possible upside to Rx-only edibles might occur with beans, since every can would come with a very clear warning: "Room-clearing side effects have been reported."
For now at least, there's no one to keep us from eating to beat disease, even if that disease is a multi-headed monster like cancer. But unlike prescription cancer drugs, most of which are designed to treat the illness, pharmaceutical foods are here to help prevent it.
We've rounded up the newest of these nutritional standouts, along with strategies for slipping them into your diet. And while none of the lucky seven that follow are FDA-approved, your body will be MH-improved after you eat them.

Arizona Wildcats
Mike Bibby explains ejection from high school game
Oh, the beautiful thing about the internet (or maybe it's a curse) is that information spreads quickly.
ArizonaSports.com, along with other web outlets, posted stories and videos about former UA and NBA standout Mike Bibby being escorted from his son's high school basketball game by Scottsdale Police.
Then, during Monday's Doug and Wolf Show on Arizona Sports 620, Fun Katy read a tweet about the subject during the daily "Twitter News You Can Use" segment.
It didn't take long for word to get back to Bibby, who called the Arizona Sports 620 to explain what happened at Coronado High School last Friday night.
"I think the ref had a little ego problem before the game started," Bibby explained. "I kind of got on him early in the game and he told the police to watch me, or whatever.
"I was just sitting there and I told him, 'that was a bad angle, number 23 wasn't in the play, ref' and he just pointed to the police and the police came and got me."
Bibby explained that he is normally pretty vocal, without using profanity, while watching his son play, but that wasn't the case in this instance.
"It was like he wanted to kick me out, I don't know why," he said. "I wasn't going to argue with the police, but apparently that's all it took."
Bibby left the arena without incident and with a smile on his face.
When asked if he thought he'd have been ejected if he was a regular fan instead of a parent who spent 14 seasons in the NBA, Bibby was clear.
"No, the other crowd (Sierra Linda High School fans) was crazier than I was," he said. "They told me that everyone on the other side was worse than I was."

#1 bestselling author Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum novels are: "irresistible" (Houston Chronicle), "stunning" (Booklist), "outrageous" (Publishers Weekly), "brilliantly evocative" (The Denver Post), and "making trouble and winning hearts" (USA Today).
New Jersey bounty hunter Stephanie Plum is certain of three truths: People don't just vanish into thin air. Never anger old people. And don't do what Tiki tells you to do.
After a slow summer of chasing low-level skips for her cousin Vinnie's bail bonds agency, Stephanie Plum finally lands an assignment that could put her checkbook back in the black. Geoffrey Cubbin, facing trial for embezzling millions from Trenton's premier assisted-living facility, has mysteriously vanished from the hospital after an emergency appendectomy. Now it's on Stephanie to track him down. Unfortunately, Cubbin has disappeared without a trace, a witness, or his money-hungry wife. Rumors are stirring that he must have had help with the daring escape . . . or that maybe he never made it out of his room alive. Since the hospital staff's lips seem to be tighter than the security, and it's hard for Stephanie to blend in to assisted living, Stephanie's Grandma Mazur goes in undercover. But when a second felon goes missing from the same hospital, Stephanie is forced into working side by side with Trenton's hottest cop, Joe Morelli, in order to crack the case.
The real problem is, no Cubbin also means no way to pay the rent. Desperate for money—or maybe just desperate—Stephanie accepts a secondary job guarding her secretive and mouthwatering mentor Ranger from a deadly Special Forces adversary. While Stephanie is notorious for finding trouble, she may have found a little more than she bargained for this time around. Then again—a little food poisoning, some threatening notes, and a bridesmaid's dress with an excess of taffeta never killed anyone . . . or did they? If Stephanie Plum wants to bring in a paycheck, she'll have to remember: No guts, no glory.
About the Author
Janet Evanovich is the author of the Stephanie Plum books, including "One for the Money" and "Sizzling Sixteen", and the Diesel & Tucker series, including "Wicked Appetite". Janet studied painting at Douglass College, but that art form never quite fit, and she soon moved on to writing stories. She didn't have instant success: she collected a big box of rejection letters. As she puts it, "When the box was full I burned the whole damn thing, crammed myself into pantyhose and went to work for a temp agency." But after a few months of secretarial work, she managed to sell her first novel for $2,000. She immediately quit her job and started working full-time as a writer. After 12 romance novels, she switched to mystery, and created Stephanie Plum. The rest is history. Janet's favorite exercise is shopping, and her drug of choice is Cheeze Doodles.
Praise For…
Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum novels are:
"Making trouble and winning hearts."—USA Today
"Brilliantly evocative."—The Denver Post
"Irresistible."—Houston Chronicle

The Bolt VM-110 LED Macro Ring Light is a compact LED ring light that is ideal for use when photographing close-up subject matter. It features a 48 LED array and has an effective working distance of 4.9' / 1.49m with a guide number of 15' / 4.57m (ISO 100). The continuous light source helps you easily see the effects of the lighting and also enables its use when recording video. Four clip-on diffusers are included to further adjust the quality of light from the ring light: clear, frosted, amber, and blue. The brightness can also be modified, from -1.5 EV to + 1.5EV, and you can set the light to illuminate from only the left or right side for added dimensionality when shooting. Additionally, to help conserve battery power, the light can be set to work in flash mode, which will turn on the light for approximately a half second each time the shutter is released.
The power unit features a 2" / 5.1cm backlit LCD monitor for displaying battery power and ring light settings. It attaches to your camera via an accessory shoe and requires 4x AA batteries. A stand is also included to hold the power unit on its own, or on a light stand or tripod via the integrated 1/4"-20 socket. For mounting the ring light to your lens, eight different adapter rings are included to fit a range of lens diameters: 49, 52, 55, 58, 62, 67, 72, and 77mm.
- LED ring light is universal in design and independent of any specific TTL system. It is compatible with most DSLR lenses and ideal for macro and close-up shooting applications.
- 48 LED array provides an effective working distance of 4.9' / 1.49m with a guide no. of 15' / 4.57m (ISO 100).
- Four clip-on diffusers are included: clear, frosted, amber, and blue.
Four light modes available:
- Light Mode will keep the light on continuously.
- Flash Mode will activate the light for approximately one half second at a time when the shutter is depressed; this will help conserve battery power.
- Left and Right Modes will set only the left or right half of the light to turn on in order to give more dimensionality to your subject matter.
