VIDEO: Yankees And Red Sox Flinch As Lightning Strikes
By Mark Memmott
Cameras were rolling Sunday during a rain delay at Yankee Stadium when an especially loud clap of thunder scared players in both dugouts. The Associated Press has the video.
Once play resumed, the Red Sox went on to beat the Yankees, 3-0, in a rain-shortened game.

Armin Zoeggeler chosen as Italy's flag bearer for opening ceremony
Oct 8, 2013, 10:20 AM EDT
Before he attempts Olympic history, Armin Zoeggeler will carry his nation's flag into the opening ceremony at the Sochi Olympics.
Zoeggeler, who turns 40 on Jan. 4, could become the first Winter Olympian to win six medals in a single event if he can make the luge podium Feb. 9.
Zoeggeler won gold in 2002 and 2006, silver in 1998 and bronze in 1994 and 2010.
"He's the greatest athlete of all time in his sport," Italian Olympic Committee president Giovanni Malago said, according to The Associated Press. "I'm very pleased with this choice."
The list of five-time Olympic medalists in one event also includes Zoeggeler's former rival, Georg Hackl of Germany, who won three golds and two silvers from 1998 through 2002.
Zoeggeler will likely not be favored to take home his sixth medal in Sochi. He reached the podium three times in nine events on the World Cup circuit last year, including a fourth place in Sochi. He skipped the World Championships in February to recover from injuries, which included back and neck problems.
The reigning Olympic, world and World Cup champion Felix Loch of Germany was 4 years old when Zoeggeler won his first Olympic medal.
Zoeggeler was also Italy's flag bearer at the 2006 Torino Olympics closing ceremony.
The Sochi luge competition begins the night after the opening ceremony.

Danang Food Tour, Danang, Vietnam
Whilst we were in Danang, 'The Mother' suggested that we go do a food tour. Believe it or not, I have never ever been to a food tour – ever so this was my first time and it was a brilliant idea and a fantastic way to try the street food of Danang.
We did a our research and we found a few, but the one that suited us and could fit us in was Summer, who is a former foreign affairs professional turned food blogger, she is also a hostel owner and her website is DanangCuisine.com which has been featured in media all over Asia. Summer's sister, Helen also does the food tour with her, as at the time we were in Danang, Summer was pregnant, so we met the lovely sister Helen.
The tour is based on Summer / Helen's top 10 favourite dishes, and the tour 'will take us to shops scattered around the central district, some within walking distance, others a short cab ride away'. Helen picked us up, and we also picked up 4 other guests – it was great to meet new people and learn about their experiences and hear about their adventures.
Tour details: Capacity of 2 – 6 person. There's one for lunch time (11 – 1.30pm) or evening (6 – 830pm) and price: US45 pax or (980,000VND) inclusive of all food and drinks, transport and photos were taken during the toor.
We started at Quan Ba Vui – they only sell two things here, bun ga (Vietnamese grilled chicken with Vermicelli noodles) or xoi ga (chicken steamed sticky rice)
We had one each, the xoi ga – chicken steamed sticky rice was a little too heavy for my liking (like any other sticky rice) however, it was tasty, full of flavour and the chicken was tender. Dragon absolutely loved this dish! I didn't realise how much she loved sticky rice!
The bun ga – vietnamese grilled chicken with vermicelli noodles was DELICIOUS! silky smooth vermicelli noodles, the soup was clear (with added chili oil) and again the chicken was tender.
I was so glad that we got to try Mi Quang Ba Vi – it is a Vietnamese noodle dish that originated from Quang Nam Province in central Vietnam. It is usually served in various occasions such as family party and the dish is made with rice noodles tinted yellow with the use of turmeric and served with shrimp, pork, chicken or even fish and beef. The broth is made by simmering the meat in water or bone broth for a more intense flavour, seasoned with fish sauce, black pepper, shallot and garlic. It is also served with toasted Vietnamese sesame rice crackers, fried shallots and various herbs.
The condiments – spring rolls, Vietnamese rice cakes (i had originally thought it was pork skin!) and some vegetables
Mi Quang – superb! It was slightly spicy for Dragon but I know she would have loved the rice noodles! It was cooked to perfection, and one couldn't help but 'slurp' the noodles! The pork was ok but it was the condiments that goes with it that makes this one of my favourite dishes in Danang.
I was getting full by now, but there were MORE! WE hop out of our van and walked down an alley way and at the end of the corridor there is a bight sign marking our destination, Ba Duong – one of the best places for banh xeo, a crackling fried rice flour crepe filled with bean, sprouts, shrimp, spring onions and mung beans.
The restaurant only serves banh xeo, which is accompanied by pork skewers, rice paper, and a pork liver and peanut sauce. Helen said that the 'secret to this place is how crispy the pancake is'.
As I couldn't eat prawns, they made a special one for me without prawns
The way you eat it is, take a rice paper roll, then the yellow rice crepe, and pork skewers, dip it in the sauce. My goodness – the flavours, the crunchiness, the pork – burst of flavours in my mouth. this was excellent and the sauce – i wanted to buy some and bring it home!
'The Mother' wanted to try corn juice – I have to say, I am definitely not a fan. It was sweet, milky, corn-y (is that even a word?). 'The Mother' thought it was nice but it was definitely not for me!
We went to Ba Lan (which 'The Mother' and I went previously on our own) to order some Vietnamese pork roll, but this time, it wasn't your typical pork roll.
First, pork floss, with the vegetables and pate – this was interesting. I do like pork floss but it was a little weird I thought. Definitely not my favourite type of banh mi.
Second was just the pate with some chili and now this was delicious! They were tiny and went down so easy! The bread, again that bread was just incredible! Crunchy on the outside and perfect on the inside.
Last but not least, desert. Helen mentioned that there aren't many deserts of cakes in Vietnam. They usually just have fruits and we went to Sinh To Che Thai. My glass was filled with jack fruit, avocado, banana, bit of condensed milk and crushed ice! Perfect for the warm weather in Vietnam!
We met some wonderful friends during the tour, got some pretty good recommendations for where to eat in Ho Chi Min City, so will keep that in mind for next time!
The tour was definitely worth it if you only have a short time in Danang and wanted to try all the local cuisine. Helen, our tour guide was friendly and very knowledgeable. We had a great time, and would definitely do another food tour next time. All the food was delicious, and I am missing Vietnamese food and can't wait to go back to Vietnam!
Next – our delicious eats in Hoi An and where I had the BEST, seriously THE BEST BANH MI EVER!

It seems like a life time ago we went to Danang. Life in the GA household is never dull, have been super busy with Dragon, work and traveling a little. Since Danang, we have been to Indonesia for my cousins wedding, and a short trip to Singapore for some eateries. On top of that, we were also in Sydney for 2 weeks, so this blog has been slightly neglected, and I am truly sorry!
Now, Danang, we were here just after the Easter break and I have to say, it is one of the most enjoyable and relaxing holiday we have been too for a while. The three of us, slept so much, ate so much and relaxed so much that we didn't want to come back home! We had buffet breakfast every single morning at the resort, then when we came home, Dragon asked me where the buffet was! My dear child!
Where we stayed: Premier Village Resort Danang – the resort is beautiful and child friendly (as friendly as it can be!). The resorts all have 3 – 4 bedrooms, however, we only needed one so they closed the other 2 bedrooms, and it was beautiful. We had our own private plunge pool where we swam almost every day, there's a kitchen for us to cook (which we didn't of course!) and a kids area for Dragon just in case it rained. There was also a main pool which we frequently visit and the resort was right near the beach, you could pretty much walk to the beach but considering how much Dragon hates sand, we didn't venture out to the beach. The resort also had activities for kids, kite flying for one, and many more.
What we did: relaxed and swam in the pool every single day. We went to town to eat almost every day, and we did 2 trips to Hoian (which I will post separately!) Hoi an was just beautiful and next time we are in Danang, will sure to stay there!
What we ate: now the list is long! We had such amazing for that we didn't want to leave. The resort had great food and we ate at the resort a couple of times that week, but most of the time, we ventured out and even did a food tour! My goals was to have a banh mi every single day, have 7 banh mi's and believe it or not I did! I simply couldn't get enough of it!
First day at the resort we didn't do much, we ate by the pool – the food was pretty decent. 'The Mother couldn't go past their chicken burger with chips – chicken fillet with tomato, lettuce on a deliciously soft bun and served with chips.
Dragon wanted a burger, to be honest, I should have known she would have just eaten the chips!!!! which she did, I ended up eating her burger. Sadly though, the beef pattie was a little dry and disappointing.
I ordered the meatballs with baguette and Dragon preferred this to hers. The meatballs were succulent and the baguette, was excellent, believe it or not, better than any bread I have eaten in Hong Kong.
'The Mother' was still hungry and ordered a tuna salad. The tuna was lightly crumbed, the tuna itself was fresh and delicious.
That evening, we were ready to venture out for some local food! 'The Mother' was craving pho so Pho 75 – caught a taxi there, which costs more than the food itself! But so worth it.
They only served pho and it was phenomenal! Best I have eaten, the noodles were translucent, and the broth – it was much cleaner and clearer than the northern cuisine. No sauce required, the broth was just perfect, and the beef was just a wonderful complement. Pho cravings satisfied!
The next day, my quest for banh mi started! We started with Banh Mi Thit Nuong (banh mi with grilled pork), again we caught the taxi to town, and I found one called "Huong" on the corner of Le Loi and Le Thanh Ton. Apparently, this is quite popular with the school kids, as there are schools nearby.
We sat on one these small stools, it was perfect for Dragon and she absolutely loved it! Now, the banh mi itself, DELICIOUS! Filings of grilled pork, vietnamese mint, papaya pickle, bit of butter, pate and chili sauce (mine had no chili sauce as i shared it with Dragon). Seriously superb, nothing I have had before. The banh mi I am used too from Sydney was with different cold meats, but this grilled pork was just divine. I asked for an egg also, and boy it was just magnificent! The bread, yes, again, the bread, was just fantastic! I have truly been deprived of good fresh bread in Hong Kong.
This is the lady that makes the banh mi – she was uber friendly, even gave Dragon a free bread!
'The Mother' on the other hand, was on the hunt for the BEST vietnamese coffee, he had coffee at least twice a day, but I am still not quite sure which one he liked! A few hundred metres away from this banh mi stall, there is a coffee shop for the life of me I forgot the name. However, we ordered some Vietnamese coffee – served cold and with condensed milk.
I couldn't go past this taro milk tea, with taro pudding – surprisingly good!
The next banh mi place we tried was bnah mi thit nguoi (banh mi with jambon) and the main ingredients are jamon, cha and pate – no other herbs but long strips of chili, cucumber and spring onion. The stall we went too was called Ba Lan. We didn't eat at the stall as there were no seats and Dragon was getting a little restless so we took it home to eat.
WOW! This was definitely 'The Mother's' favourite, we bought four and he ate 3 in one sitting! ok, maybe 2 and 3/4. The bread was excellent again, and the filing was just superb. I was told that it is the BEST banh mi thit that there are already numerous fake banh mi Ba Lan – this is the original place! Definitely worth visiting.
The best banh mi that I ate was definitely at Hoian – which I will post later on. We went to a pretty decent restaurant on our last night in Danang which was recommended by a few people called Aspara Restaurant – mix of Thailand and Vietnamese cuisine. The menu was vast, it took us a while to peruse the menu, however, the best bit, there were performances which Dragon loved – she didn't want to eat and kept dancing. i have to admit though, it is a bit of a tourist place, but the food was definitely good!
We started with these fried salt and pepper tofu, the tofu was silky smooth and cut into bite sizes.
I ordered the fried chicken with rice for Dragon, the fried chicken was pretty decent, as good as the one you get in Sydney.
'The Mother' wanted some seafood – started with some pipis served in a clear, gingery brother, the broth was tasty and the pipis were a wonderful addition.
The scampi cooked with onions and garlic were definitely the highlight! So much flavour and the scampi itself was deliciously succulent.
Last but not least, the vegetables.
It was possibly our most expensive meal in Danang. It was good to try but I definitely still preferred the street food! We did one food tour, which will be in my next post, and also Hoian – such a beautiful place!
In the mean time, where can I get a decent banh mi here in Hong Kong?

My goodness, it seems forever since we were in Sydney! At the rate I am going, I will be back from my Sydney trip in June and I am still writing about my last visit! Whoopsie! Now, Kin By Us, is run by My Kitchen Rules 2014 couple – Uel and Shannelle – I have heard wonderful things about this place, especially the menu which has a Chinese and Korean influence. But best of all, it was in my old hood where I grew up!
The place was incredibly busy when we rocked up at 11, we waited for a good 35 mins before finally seated but it was worth it! We started with this cool fretting water-my-melon drink. It had a combination of watermelon and all the different types of melon in it. It was definitely refreshing and Dragon couldn't help but drink most of it – there is no sharing in her vocabulary!
I couldn't go past the Snap Crackle Plop (AUD10) – only available after 11.30. Chicken rice, chicken skin and a slow cooked onsen egg! My goodness, this was AMAZING – and who doesn't like chicken skin right? My only gripe, wish there was more chicken skins!!! The chicken rice was definitely legit, Dragon demolished this and I am pretty sure I only had one piece whilst Dragon had the rest!
The congee (AUD17) was beautifully presented. There was way too much shallots for my liking, but I did enjoy the pork floss and not to mention the fried bread dough. There was mix reviews on this congee, one absolutely enjoyed it, the other wasn't a big fan of pork floss. I thought it was nice, but I am not much of a congees person, except for when I am sick, and I would definitely eat this if i was sick!
Another favourite of mine is the Waffle Belly (AUD17) – delicious succulent pork belly and onsen egg on top of potato waffle! My goodness, that pork belly was just too die for and the perfect gooey onsen egg was a wonderful complement. This was definitely my favourite!
Oh and those who likes Durian, they have durian affogato and my goodness – this was excellent. I would come back just to have the waffle belly and durian affogato!
Service was excellent and friendly. Come early, as it does get extremely busy. Also, parking around the hood is NOT easy. I went here twice and the first time I drove and ended up parking in Macquarie Shopping Centre, the second walked! Definitely a good addition to Macquarie Park and can't wait to go back and try it!

My goodness, it certainly has been a long time since my last post, almost a month!!! Things has definitely been busy in the GA household. We just got back from an 8 day trip to Danang, Vietnam, now if you haven't been, it is an excellent place to relax, unwind, and spend time with the family – more to come!
Now Bread Street Kitchen part of the Dining Concepts group, is the not so new restaurant by Gordan Ramsay. It's been opened for a while now, and I was fortunate enough to go one day for lunch – reservations has been hard as it is always fully booked! They have managed to replicate the original London decor almost exactly to Hong Kong – a blend of vintage and modern feel and offers diners an upmarket British gastropub fare.
Everything on the menu sounded wonderful, I wanted to try everything but it was the burger that definitely caught my eye. We started with some warm bread, fresh out of the oven – yum!
Now the burger – Bread Street Kitchen short rib burger, monterey jack cheese, spicy sriracha mayo (HKD188) – oh my my! Served with wedges, I knew I was going to hit food coma and a very very slow afternoon at work! Even before I began to attack the burger, sauce was already dripping – I knew this was going to be a messy one and indeed it was. It was fantastic though, the pattie was soft and cooked the way I like it, the bread was soft and slightly toasted, and the spicy sriracha mayo was a wonderful compliment! It was absolutely delicious that I devoured all of it without asking my dining companion if she wanted some!
My friend, R, opt for Dingley Dell pork chop (10z) (HKD228) and it was indeed a generous serving. It came with a few garnishes and sauce of your choice – peppercorn, red wine marrow or béarnaise sauce.. hmhmmhhm red wine marrow! The pork was incredibly tender that it just melted in your mouth. You can't get pork chop wrong but this was impressive and R demolished it!
Unfortunately, we were pressed for time, the service wasn't slow, it was actually quite good (staff were friendly) but we were both running late to lunch, and I had to attend a meeting (which I almost fell asleep!) so didn't have time for desserts, which is a shame. All the desserts sounded great, and I look forward to going back again. There's definitely a next time!

Mister Gee Burger Truck, Leichhardt
I have seen so many pictures of Mister Gee's Burger on my feed that I had to check it out for myself on my trip to Sydney. The menu is minimal, burger, french fries and a milk shake. The burger menu changes weekly, and on the night we went it was serving the fat boy burger, chili cheese fries and baklava shake.
The queue when we rocked up was quite long, thing we waited a good 30 – 40 mins for our burger and seating is minimal, however, we were lucky enough to have found a seating. Majority of the people had takeaway, but I can't imagine driving back 30 mins and eating a soggy burger! I had originally thought about eating in the car also, but with kids, I don't think that would be very comfortable!
The Fat Boy Burger – Oh my my… beef patty, melted jack cheese, oak leaf lettuce, pickled cabbage some sauce which I couldn't figure out what and bacon jam all in a soft light brioche bun. The patty was cooked well-done (i would have preferred it medium rare but i would assume it would be difficult to have it cooked different ways!), the pickled cabbage i love, it really gave it that added sour flavour and the caramelised bacon was sweet and smokey which was a wonderful addition to the burger. It was messy, it was big, and it was frigging delicious!!! Burger cravings SATISFIED!
The chili and cheese fries was also excellent, my SiL and I couldn't stop eating it, and neither did our kids! They absolutely loved the fries.
The baklava shake was a little on the sweet side for me, but my brother, F, really enjoyed it!
Glad to have tried this burger, it was definitely tasty and those chili and cheese fries were excellent! Would I wait again for 30 – 40 mins? Probably not, but that's just me, however, I wouldn't mind dropping by after a big night out and need some grease!

Sorry for the lack of post. Things in the GAs household has been chaotic. Dragon and I have been sick 6 times in the past 10 – 12 weeks, yes that's every fortnight that we were sick! It was crazy, my body needed some rest and a reboot!!! Work has been chaotic also, and I was in Sydney for a fortnight to visit family and work! It has been a crazy couple of months, hopefully it will die down soon and I can focus on the more important stuff in life, like health, food and Dragon!
This post is quite late, and there's only a week or so left of the pop up, Work in Progress, which is head by Patrick Friesen of Papi Chulo and on the menu is fried chicken, noodles and many more!
The menu is split into three sections, snacks and vegetables, noodles and FRIED CHICKEN! There are three types of fried chicken, and can be ordered by the half serve of the whole chook.
We started with the agedashi'ish tofu (AUD14) and OMG, this was absolutely amazing! Silken tofu cubes which was have a crisp batter was covered with dried bonito flakes, sweet mayo and BBQ sauce. I could definitely have eaten the whole plate myself! Probably my favourite on the menu
We ordered the sichuan duck and tofu lo mien (AUD16) – the noodles are al dente (i prefer it a little more soft) which was served with generous servings of duck and cubes of tofu. The sauce is a tad spicy, and garlicky which was a wonderful complement.
Lastly, the reason why we were here, fried chicken ginger nuoc cham (AUD16) – the batter deliciously crunchy and meat succulent (except for the breast which I thought was a little dry but I am never a big fan of chicken breast!)
Everything on the menu sounded delicious, the wonton noodles also looked great, it's a shame that I didn't get a chance to come back and try their other dishes. If you haven't been, definitely worth going for a visit before it finishes. I do hope that it does become permanent, I wouldn't mind some of that agedashi'ish tofu now!!
There's no reservation, we came at about 12pm and it was quiet, but by the time we left about 1pm the restaurant was quite busy!

50 King Street
Social Place, Central, Hong Kong
Newish restaurant located in the L Place in Central. It's a new dim sum place, contemporary Chinese cuisine with a modern, healthy (no added MSG) and unique twist. I caught up with the lovely J for lunch, the restaurant offers dim sum and other dishes, but we were here for one thing, dim sum and wanted to try lots of it.
I love the plates – at first I thought there was something on my plate, a fly perhaps? I also love the décor, it's a beautiful, open space, there's a ping pong table that has been converted to a dining table which dominated the floor.
We started with duck salad – so much color on a plate and it was beautifully done.
Our favourite was the truffle shitake buns – I literary thought they were mushrooms but they were steamed buns in the shape of mushrooms and they were surprisingly good, and the truffle really gave it a nice kick.
Next the turnip cake, pan-fried, it really gave it a nice crispy exterior and soft-pillow-y on the inside.
I definitely couldn't go past these pork belly slider babies. The pork belly were soft and tender, which was perfect with the soft bun, the preserved vegetables were a wonderful complement. We devoured these fatty pork belly babies within seconds and wanted more!
The seared Chinese pancakes were a little disappointing I thought. It was pretty much roti and shallots, which I could probably have done at home.
Another disappointing dish was the steamed glutinous rice 'siu mai'. It lacked flavor and was bland.
For desserts, we thought we would get the steamed custard buns and boy oh boy it did not disappoint! Flowing lava of custard and egg yolk, my goodness, I wanted more. It was the perfect way to end a delicious meal.
Majority of the dishes I thought was good. This was my second visit (didn't take photos during the first one) and thought it was pretty decent. I love the open space, there are no trolleys here at this dim sum place, but most places in Hong Kong don't have trolleys anyways. Will be back to try their other dishes, even maybe for dinner.

Ratings & Reviews
My husband and I were newbies to the buying experience, we shied away from agents finding that many were pushy/arrogant and aimlessly browsed the open house circuit. Then we found Chris! She listened, explained each process, answered every question - sometimes twice - and helped us find our home. That was almost 4 years and two children ago - thanks Chris!
Christine helped us sell our vacation home. Several months later she helped us purchase another home. Since we do not live in California these contracts were both long distance transactions. Christine was an excellent facilitator who aided and guided us in completing all the necessary requirements for both properties. Christine was very open-minded and creative when selling the first property. She found a prospective buyer who ended up renting (short term) with option to buy. That property was sold to a different party than the renter. However I do know that the buyers were complimentary in their dealings with Christine. Our next purchase several months later was for a property about 30 miles away from the original home. Christine researched that area of San Diego very thoroughly and helped us find the home we bought. We would recommend Christine to any prospective buyer or seller. She is thorough in her research, professional in dealing with all parties and is genuinely concern about meeting her clients expectations.
Christine has worked with us over the past several years helping us find tenants for our small condominium in La Jolla. We have worked with other real estate agents in the past and have found Christine to be the most professional and responsive. Although our rental is quite small, we feel as if she always puts as much effort into finding a tenant for the unit as she would if we were selling a large home. She responds quickly to messages left for her and she always seems to have valuable input and suggestions. We feel as though she truly care about her clients.
Very Professional. Christine worked very hard to get me the home in San Diego I dreamed about. The house I got was a short sale with 3 bids, Christine was able to make mine the winning bid by her effort and personality.
I had worked with other realtors prior to Christine. They always seemed to talk a good show, but never delivered. Christine did. Christine did me a big favor with this house I bought. She spent several months trying to find the right house for me and always gave 100% effort. She was always available for questions and concerns. She is honest. Her honesty was very important especially as I was an out of town buyer and had limited opportunity to travel to San Diego. I very strongly recommend her without reservation.

I first purchased this in 2009. I had an all over head of bleached platinum hair that I would do myself, and it was extremely healthy despite all the processing I would put it through.
I didn't really realize how much this mask made a difference - UNTIL I stopped using it, when my hair became dull and lost its softness and began to break!
Flash forward to a few years ago and I remembered the mask by Moroccanoil and wanted to use it again. The only thing was that I assumed the mask I was using was the restorative version with the orange cap.
The restorative mask is great for a deep treatment if your hair is needing strength and structure! My hair concern however is severe dryness and brittle strands. So my HG mask is the hydrating one.
With this Moroccanoil Intense Hydrating mask, I have honestly never found a product that gives my super dry hair better results (and I have tried Kerastase, Fekkai, Alterna, Pureology, Joico, It's a 10, Enjoy, Redken, Phyto, Macadamia Professional, Shea Moisture, tons of drugstore products, and more!).
My hair actually holds moisture, feels soft and relaxed, and gives off an illuminating shine/glow when I use this. It's truly an intense boost of hydration for these brittle locks that literally NOTHING penetrates!
Never want to be without this stuff!

Once I`ve found the Moroccanoil products I`ve stopped using anything else. This mask is AMAZING! I use it once a week, and it makes my hair stronger, shinier, and absolutely lovely. It smells heavenly, and I can feel my hair detangling and drinking this in while I sit with it in my bath. My hair smells so nice and stays cleaner much longer. I now wash just once every 5 days and my hair has been healthier for it.

LOVE! LOVE! LOVE IT.... Last week I tried the Macadamia Natural Oil Deep Repair Mask for the first time. As they suggested I mixed a pump of the Macadamia Oil treatment with the mask and kept it on for 5 - 7 mins as recommended. I used the Macadamia Shampoo too. It had been years since I did any masks. Afterwards I thought it was just OK. Today I used the Moroccanoil Hydrating mask for the first time. I washed my hair with the Moroccanoil Volume Shampoo, towel dried my hair per instructions then scooped out some hydrating mask and added a pump of Moroccan Oil with the Mask, combed it thru then...waited 5-7 mins. I could feel already it was so much better then the Macadamia Mask line. The downside is that I will probably wash my hair more because it feels so gorgeous and soft, I keep getting everyone to feel it ha,ha...
PRICE: - I think it is a bit steep, it's $40 Australian.
PACKAGING: The tub it comes in has a screw top lid, why do they not think when it comes to packaging that a pump would be alot easier and less chance of water getting into it.
WOULD BUY AGAIN: I will ALWAYS make sure I never run out
DOWNSIDE. : That I never found this sooner.....

Overall a fantastic hair mask that i would recommend to everyone, smells nice closer to natural oil scents, the value for money is good considering the final effect of the mask. Has improved my hair texture and moisture level , very easy to use, just apply to hair after shampoo and leave in for 10 minutes and you are done nice healthy looking shiny hair.

I'm pretty shocked at how mediocre this mask is considering the high price. Wow. The scent is bad. It has a hint of the original moroccanoil smell mixed with grandma and a hint of old school jerry curl juice. The texture is thick and looks a bit waxy. Not too much slip when applying. Didn't do well at moisturizing. No hydration period. Does leave my hair feeling slightly softer after it dries but then that feeling is gone in the morning. Works ok on my 2 year olds hair but then again that's toddler hair. Maybe this is just meant for people with naturally straight hair? I feel like the positive reviews on this stuff are lies I tell you, Liiieess. Will not repurchase. Wouldn't recommend. Better masks out there.

I was desperate before I bought this product. My bleached hair had been quite badly damaged but I managed to retain my length largely through the use of fairly frequent protein masks, and washing around once a week..... but then I went too far and over-proteinized my hair. Basically my hair was suddenly hard (!) and just felt... wrong. It was rough and hard even while I was conditioning it - I couldn't get a brush through it - and I could practically fold it in half, it was that rigid! I panicked, did strand-tests non stop, and abandoned any product with even a trace of protein (most of the products I had :( even the cheapo conditioners). My hair improved a lot, however what I really needed was something super moisturising but free of protein. This mask was perfect. I think blondes (or possibly just me) can sometimes think we need soooo much protein that almost every product we use contains some form of protein, and eventually it starts having a detrimental effect on our hair. from now on I'm using this mask as my go-to treatment, and only bringing out the protein once a month/ if hair feels too elastic. But honestly, I've learnt that too much moisture is far easier to deal with than too much protein, so be careful! - I suppose if you have fine hair this mask could weigh it down, I have thick and wavy hair and had no problems. :)

This may not have the best smell, but it sure works wonders on my hair. My hair is literally fried after undergoing two Japanese Straightening in six months and on top of that the inept hairdresser used 30vol. Peroxide for my hair color just four days after the straightening. Just picture it. The comb would not even go through my hair. After just two uses of this masque, and voila!, my hair was much softer and more manageable. I have one month of using it and I can tell the difference. The quality is on par with Kerastase if not, better. It rinses clean and the smell dissipates once dry. Just make sure you wash your back and face after rinsing it because Argan oil can be comedogenic.

I have relaxed Afro hair - have no clue about 4A/B texture thing so I can't comment on this.
This is the first time I've used the mask and it's the Perfect product! Pricey BUT I don't mind bcos it does what it says on the tin so it's ok.
Washed with my normal ORS Aloe Shampoo, didn't use my conditioner went straight to the mask. I mixed this with a few drops of Moroccan oil treatment and left for about an hour, using shower cap and towel. Washed out and combed through - hardly any hair came out when I combed it through wet (I always have hair come out when I comb through my wet hair) AMAZING.
Used the Moroccan oil and and my Aphogee keratin and green tea reconstructerizer spray b4 blowdrying, applied more oil then straightened (never more than a few pumps, I like my hair to have movement).
OMG My hair is SILKY baby soft. In love totally. Thank you Moroccan oil you've just changed my life. I feel like it strengthened my hair and my hair has a natural looking shine to it rather than the 'iv got oil in my hair' shine. I try to wash my hair fortnightly so I will use this again next time I think il see how my hair gets on. I don't want to over use it bcos sometimes products just stop working and that would be a TRAGEDY.
Washed my hair 4 days ago now using the masque and havent needed to reapply any moroccan oil or any other product, my hair still has movement, has a natural shine n still silky!! ive gotten so many compliments on my hair this week. im really happy.
i recently cut my hair due to a weave making my natural hair thin when i took it out, but want it grow it back now, definitely the moroccan hair range is the secret to growing long hair as it just makes your hair super healthy, il never have to cut my ends at this rate :D

I was really excited to buy this at first because I love the actual oil. I have mixed reviews on this. It washed out amazing and for the first 5 minutes my naturally curly hair feels soft but I do not see any difference after I blow dry. It's like I didn't do any treatment. I found even after months of using it and even keeping it in for longer times its just blah. I'll be giving it to someone else to try!

Katy Perry and John Mayer Back Together?
Entertainment Tonight.
On-again/off-again couple Katy Perry and John Mayer appear to be in their "on" stage again.
Perry and Mayer showed up together at Monday night's Friars Foundation Honors Don Rickles event, which honored the legendary actor and comedian with Friars' Lifetime Achievement Award for Comedy. According to People, the two "shared kisses" and were "very lovey-dovey" at the New York City event, and pictures of them holding hands confirm at the very least that the two remain close.
Related: John Mayer Gushes Over Romance With Katy Perry
But if the reconciliation has indeed happened, perhaps the news isn't so shocking given Perry's admission to Vogue earlier this month that she was still "madly in love" with the Paper Doll singer, despite their relationship being "over" at the time.
"I was madly in love with him. I still am madly in love with him," she said. "All I can say about that relationship is that he's got a beautiful mind. Beautiful mind, tortured soul. I do have to figure out why I am attracted to these broken birds."

Other famous faces that came to honor Rickles at the Waldorf-Astoria included Robert De Niro, Jon Stewart, Craig Ferguson, Louis C.K., Joan Rivers, Kathy Griffin, John Stamos and Bob Saget. The event ended with all of Rickles' guests, including Bette Midler, Billy Crystal, Diana Krall, Natalie Cole, Bob Newhart and Tony Danza, singing a rendition of Frank Sinatra's classic The Best Is Yet to Come.

Drinking nicely. Likely at its peak. Very pleasant soft red fruit, but a little thinner than I expected.
Absolutely rocking and punching well above its weight at the moment.
Although there is nothing wrong with this, it did not represent the complexity and depth of a typical St. Estephe. Brilliant garnet color. Some light fruits on the palate. A bit thin in the mouth. Rather dry and a bit heavy on the tannins. Disappointing given the otherwise outstanding vintage.
No faults, just not up to snuff. Very "fall fair"; hay bales and cotton candy. I also found it a bit sweaty/animal. Green pepper, white tobacco, and cooked fruit- jam... to its credit, quite varietally typical. In the mouth it really fell apart, the wine was thin, tannins dry... mostly vegetal on the palate. Must agree with some of the other recent posts... "weak in the knees". No faults, but terrible value.
Pfft. A great vintage, a great location - this should have been so much better but it was underwhelming to the point that I threw most of it down the sink. Not because it was undrinkable but it was just so forgettable that I figured I could spend the next hour of my life drinking this and forgetting it, or I could drink something else. Soft, round, soapy fruit. Little structure to speak of, which is surprising for a 2000 - this needs some tannins and structure but instead there is just flabby nothingness. A shame because previous vintages have been excellent.
I can't better kelderrule's review, it's spot on.
Robe rubis intense et opaque, la couronne commence à peine à tourner un peu vers le grenat.
Au nez, le cassis, le tabac blond, un peu de cuir et la crème fraîche... Un beau petit bordeaux en perspective!
En bouche, l'attaque est encore fruitée et la bouche très agréable et la maturité du vin le rend très intéressant. Malgré que les tannins soient très souples et intégrés la finale est un peu décevante car le bois est la saveur qui demeure à la toute fin.
Malgré tout un vin à 27$ qui m'en aura donné pour mon argent.
weak in the knees as they say. Light with hints of mint. Not to my liking but not flawed
Not as impressive as one should expect from a St. Estephe. The tannins are now on the background. You kan taste cherry hints of vanilla leather and wood though al in al it's a bit watery or thin. I drank one bottle accompanied with cheese and one bottle with a meal with roasted (wild) duckbreast. The duck lifted up the wine.
À Minogami. Correct sans plus. Un peu alcooleux, il y a du fruit mais un certain manque d'équilibre et de charme, avec des tanins rêches. 84-85 pts
Pretty muted nose. A little burnt wood, pencil and dark fruit. Probably drinking in its prime. Nice, simple Bordeaux that is showing a good balance of dark fruit, earth, tobacco and leather. Very dry with a long finish of oak and cherry.
Fine ruby tones, adequately viscous, remarkable bouquet given its humble pedigree, plenty of fruit and delicately perfumed, pleasant mouthfeel, the remaining tannins suggesting still a few good years left as of 2009; fine wine altogether if not terribly complex.
Deep ruby color. Delicate nose with vegetative notes. Medium bodied, dark fruit and minerals with puckering tannins and short aftertaste. Disappointing.
Weinig tannines. Zeer milde smaakimpressie. Niet indrukwekkend of uitgesproken.
Lovely nose, but disapointing taste. Still fragile, and not ready yet. Tannis not very noticeble- not a good sign. This wine could be going downhill while waiting for it to hit the top!!
Very good nose, fruity with tones of chocolate and leather. Tasting: nice fruit, although a bit thin and not very long lasting. Gets better with aeriation in the glass. Pleasant wine, certainly when considering its prize.
(12.5% vol)
Deep red colour with musk or other animalistic notes and cheese on the nose. There were also some underlying cherry and wood (close to pencil shavings) notes on the nose as well.
2 days later there was still an underdeveloped fruit core under the acidity and a peppery finish. It still seems like this wine was holding something back. I would personally wait a few more years to see how this fruit core develops. J-didn't like it (too earthy on the initial taste and laking a finish).
This wine remided me of the Bordeaux 2006 En-Primeur tasting I attended last year where I realised that I needed to be an experienced taster to recognise what was lying underneath those samples. Perhaps the wine is going through a "dumb phase" at the moment
Tour de Bordeaux; Next stop: St. Estèphe @ Roel's (Netherlands): Ruby red, deep core. Fragrant, ester-like bouquet. Prunes, rosehips, orchids, olives, caramel-and-cream. Seems modern and extracted. A sip reveals kirsch, chocolate, sweet bell pepper, coffee, leather and bulky but ripe tannines. Good effort, still slightly reserved now. 17/20
Very nice nose, but still a bit thinand watery. Nice but fragile fruit, hidden under a thin layer of tanin. Should e a good chance for improvement over the next 3-6 years. Not a great wine.
Initially, this was completely closed. Thin, watery and very uninspiring. An hour in the glass helped the nose immensely and notes of cassis, cedar and sunwarmed stones came out. Decent finish and quite a bit of tannins. Better on day 2 with a creamy texture and soft, sweet fruit. 87 pts on day 1, but the score ends on 88 due to the final improvements overnight.
Very stinky with touches of high toast oak and barnyardy brett, fighting with some ripe plum and dark fruits for centre stage. The palate is a bit funky and whilst it is a disjointed wine it actually worked reasonably well with an earthy rabbit dish. I won't be racing out to buy any more of this wine.

Bosphorus Bridge(Bođaziçi Köprüsü)
The Bosphorus Bridge is a suspension bridge which located between Ortaköy and Beylerbeyi , spanning the Bosphorus Strait and connecting the continents of Europe and Asia. The bridge was completed on October 30, 1973 and opened by President Fahri Korutürk.
The district behind Leander's Tower is Uskudar, the historical location for crossings to the European side. The 16th century mosques and the monumental fountain in the square, and the miniature Ţemsi Paţa Mosque and the medrese on the shore, both built by Sinan, are fine examples of Turkish architecture. The historical Karacaahmet Cemetery is located on the slopes of Uskudar and behind these rise the Carnhca hills. These hills covered with pine groves offer a bird's eye view of the Bpsphorus and the Princes' Islands.

What a Headache!
What a Headache!
If you are among the more than 45 million American's who suffer from frequent or chronic headaches, you know how that special kind of pain can make you woozy, zap your energy, ruin your concentration, and generally leave you feeling exhausted and depressed. Medical science has identified over 100 different types of headaches, but most of us never seek medical help for our headaches. Because headaches are neither fatal nor contagious, most of us figure they're minor. However, headaches are one of the main causes for missed work. Add lost productivity to the cost for medical treatments (including over-the-counter remedies) and Americans spend over $50 billion a year on these "minor" headaches.

The Evangelical College of Theology
The Evangelical College of Theology (TECT) is a Christian educational establishment in Sierra Leone, whose mission is to "Preach the Word, Reach the World." The college offers certificate, diplomas, and bachelor degree programs. Enrolment for the 2011-12 school year was 259 students. The college operates at four locations: the main campus in Jui, the Freetown Extension site, and the Makeni and Bo Distance Education sites.[1]
TECT is partnered with the Global Connection Partnership Network, Overseas Council International, and the European Baptist Mission. These organizations provide short term and long term supportive staff to the college. For the 2012-13 school year, the campus has 37 Sierra Leonean staff and faculty members, with 4 American staff and faculty members in lecturer or administrative support roles.[2][3]
In 1957, an Inter-Missions Bible School Committee was formed by four Christian denominations in Sierra Leone: The Missionary Church of Africa (MCA), United Brethren in Christ (UBC), and the American Wesleyan Methodist Church (AWM) now called the Wesleyan Church of Sierra Leone.[4] This committee formed from the identified need for training pastors and administrators for the Christian churches of Sierra Leone.
During the transition from colonial rule which was finalized in 1961, the committee requested from British government to obtain land for a campus. The British government granted the land and buildings of a former military barracks located on the Jui Peninsula 10 miles east of Freetown, Sierra Leone's capital city.
On October 12, 1964, the Sierra Leone Bible College was founded and begun offering both diploma and bachelor's level degrees.
The campus was initially led and run by western missionaries, predominantly from the United States. The missionaries, and their sending denominations, provided funding for all the operations of the campus.
During this time, the enrolment year to year varied between ten and thirty students.
In 1979, the Baptist Convention of Sierra Leone was added as a proprietary body.
In 1998, the Countess of Huntington Connexion was added as a proprietary body and the Missionary Church of Africa (MCA) withdrew its proprietorship.
In 1999, the campus officially changed its name to The Evangelical College of Theology (TECT).
During the Civil War[edit]
When the civil war escalated in the 1990s, the western missionary leadership of the college gathered several alumni who were then in positions of church leadership in Sierra Leone. The missionaries informed the Sierra Leoneans that they were withdrawing both their personnel and financial support of the campus and handed full leadership to the Sierra Leoneans.
This presented a challenge to the new national leadership. Enrolment and tuition of ten to thirty students each year did not financially provide for the needs and upkeep of the campus. As a result, additional programs were initiated and the enrolment was grown from thirty to over 200 students each semester at the main campus in Jui outside of Freetown.
Current Programs[edit]
TECT now offers diplomas and degrees in the following areas:[5]
- Bachelor of Theology (with majors in Missions, Pastoral Studies and Christian Education)
- Bachelor of Adult Education
- Bachelor in Peace & Development Studies
- Bachelor in Community Development Studies
- Theology
- Christian Ministry
- Community Development Studies
- Peace & Conflict Studies
- Public Administration
