FRIDAY, March 14, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- For adolescents with cancer, mindfulness-based meditation is associated with a reduction in depressive symptoms, and with increased sleep quality for girls, according to a study presented at the annual meeting of the American Psychosomatic Society, held from March 12 to 15 in San Francisco.
Catherine Malboeuf-Hurtubise, from the University of Montreal, and colleagues conducted a prospective study to examine mood, sleep, and quality of life in 13 adolescents with cancer. Eight participants were assigned to eight 90-minute weekly mindfulness-based meditation sessions and five adolescents were put on a wait-list (control). Patients completed questionnaires at baseline and after the last meditation session.
The researchers found that after eight sessions participants in the mindfulness-based meditation group had a reduction in depressive symptoms, with a trend toward significance. In the mindfulness group, sleep quality increased for girls, with a trend toward significance. Large effect sizes were seen for negative emotionality and anxiety in boys, and mindfulness scores in girls, although these effects were not significant.
"Mindfulness-based interventions for teenagers with cancer appear as a promising option to lighten psychological inconveniences of living with cancer," Malboeuf-Hurtubise said in a statement.

This palette is quite nice. My friend shipped me this from the U.S since they don't sell Wet n Wild where I live. All eight colours are what I would usually go for - neutrals and earthy shades. The shadows are velvety smooth, highly pigmented and are easily blend-able. They do fade without a primer underneath, so be sure to use one. I don't follow the shades for the eye area exactly - i.e - brow-bone shade for the brow-bone because I found those two shades to be a little frosty/too shimmery for that area and usually prefer something more matte, but they make nice all-over-lid colours. I didn't give it 5 lippy's because sometimes if I pack too much shadow on, they look a little frosty on me. However, I do think this is great value for money and would highly recommend it!! :)

I really wish I had bought this before I bought the Petal Pusher palette, because I was so underwhelmed by that one that I waited months to get Comfort Zone. It is miles better! The shadows are smoother, the colors are more true to pan, and they all coordinate better with eachother. These last all day over my UDPP. To turn up the vibrancy on some of the colors, I apply them over a NYX jumbo pencil. Very excited with this purchase!

I have nothing to say that hasn't already been said - this palette is just AMAZING. Great colors, great pigmentation and quality, and it's cheap! Get this if you haven't already, you won't be disappointed.

This is seriously an awesome buy. I've bought plenty of MAC and Urban Decay shadows, and this 8-palette is just as good for a fraction of the price of the expensive brands. The color is ultra-pigmented and I love that the left shades go perfectly together!

These shadows are all pigmented and easy to use. I'm totally obsessed with the left side of the palette, and the greens are so pretty too. The "defining" shade on the right is definitely my favorite shadow of the palette. It's a duochrome green/copper color and perfect to wear on its own. The only problem with this palette is that it was rather hard to find. It wasn't at any of my local drugstores, I only found it by chance at Wal-Mart. Overall, I love this!

i love using the left side of this palette! i'm glad there are greens too, but i haven't experimented much with them yet. but at least now i know i have some greens in my collection, which i don't think i did before!
i follow the guide for where you use each color with the neutral shades and i LOVE the result. i especially like the eyelid color, which is very brightening. it looks like a dupe for covergirl's mink eyeshadow, which means it's close to mac's all that glitters, but i don't have all that glitters so i can't confirm that.
the only thing that sucked about this palette was finding it... i don't have any walmarts near me and none of the walgreens in my area had it. i ended up getting it 400 miles away in a walgreens half the size of traditional walgreens stores that claims to have more "limited stock." haha go figure!

In the area that I live in, I've only found this at Walgreens. I've seen many reviews on this, and have also ready many reviews about this product on here on MUA. This is beautifully pigmented palette, with great variety of greens and browns. I have very few green eye shadows, so the greens sold me. The quality of the shadows are great BUT I find the product to be a little too soft, if you understand what I mean, once a brush is dipped the shadow gets a little dusty/everywhere. The packaging itself is flimsy but what more can you say, it's a drugstore palette...overall, the product is lovely. Great cheap find for only 4.99!

Awesome, awesome eyeshadows! Very pigmented and long-lasting under my UD primer potion. The one color on the lower right-hand side is the Club dupe that is in the discontinued holiday palette that everyone raves about. I absolutely love this.

This is my favorite one out of all three 8-pan palettes. And it was also the hardest to track down! The pigmentation is superb. All of these colors are great for work. Or if you're into neutrals like myself, this is the best out to pick out of the other two. The price point is amazing, its $5.
I'd also like to point out a potential dupe in this palette for MAC Dalliance e/s. It's the eyeshadow on the top right. Its about 1-2 shades darker. However, I think its very close. Maui Wowie without the glitter!

God bless wet n wild for making this product. I will spend some serious cash on foundation because I don't have perfect skin and I am not 20 anymore. I will NOT spend serious cash on eyeshadows. Why? Because I don't have to. I can get department store quality eye shadow for a song and a dance thanks to wet n wild. These are incredible quality for $4.99 at your local walgreens. NOTHING thrills me more than a great cheap make up find and this product should be in the Hall of Fame of great cheap make up finds so don't just sit there, run out and get you one before they are all gone.

RRP Renovators Get Extension on Lead-Safe Credential Renewal - (April , 2015)
On April 8, 2015, EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy signed a final rule to extend certifications for individual renovators under the lead-based paint Renovation, Repair and Painting Rule (RRP) Program. During January 2015, EPA published a proposed rule that would, among other things, change the requirements for the refresher training course that individual renovators must take to become recertified. Certifications were extended for individual renovators whose certifications expire before changes to the mandatory refresher training can be finalized. EPA is taking this action so that, if and when the changes in the proposed rule are finalized, those renovators covered by the extension would also be eligible for the same provisions under the new rule. Under the extension: individual renovators who received certification on or before March 31, 2010, now have until March 31, 2016, to become recertified; individual renovators who received certification between April 1, 2010 and March 31, 2011, will have one year added to their 5-year certification; and subsequent certifications for renovators receiving the extension will be five years. Links to a copy of the notice can be found at: http://www2.epa.gov/lead/prepublication-copy-notice-final-rule-lead-based-paint-programs-extension-renovator or at www.epa.gov/lead.
Approval of PCB Cleanup Helps Multi-million-dollar Philly Redevelopment Project to Proceed - (April ,2015)
Cleanup of Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) at a Site on Chestnut Street in Philadelphia, Pa., has been completed in accordance with June 2014 self-implementing hybrid clean-up plans (761.61(a-c)) and risk-based (761.61(c)) approvals. Outcomes from the risk-based approval were better than expected, with additional excavation bringing remaining PCB concentrations below unrestricted use levels in all but two locations. Maximum PCB concentrations were reduced to 16 mg/kg from an initial maximum of over 17,000 mg/kg. This cleanup helps clear the way for a planned multi-million-dollar mixed residential and commercial development along nearly all of Chestnut Street's 1100 block, which had been vacant for years and was heavily vandalized.
FRC Drexel Pilot Garners National Press Attention During Feeding Cities Workshop - (April, 2015)
On March 28, 2015, representatives from EPA Mid-Atlantic Land and Chemicals Division presented a joint-paper and video to the Feeding Cities Workshop in Boston, Mass. The presentation introduced some of the Food Recovery Challenge (FRC) work that EPA is doing in cooperation with Drexel University, Brown Family Shop-Rites, The Enterprise Center, Giant-Ahold, Cabrini College and various food banks and homeless shelters in the Philadelphia area. The particular project discussed in Boston showcased how fresh fruit and vegetables are recovered from ShopRite (an FRC Participant) before being diverted to composting or a landfill. These still wholesome foods are prepared by the Drexel Food Lab students as food products and meals. The innovative project is garnering increased attention as demonstrated by recent media reviews from The Huffington Post and SupermarketGuru.com. The ability to capture food before it is landfilled and then convert it to meals and products reduces food waste in keeping with the goals of EPA's Food Recovery Challenge. Project work continues with upcoming activities planned with Ahold-USA and ShopRite's interest in donating fruits and vegetables to an experimental community café that is planned for a Philadelphia, Pa., neighborhood Promise Zone.

Doesnt seem to matter what ID he uses. He has been right! What about those apples?
It is almost like somebody knows something and it is not good.
He has been dumping shares. Started around 47 and probably hasn't stopped. Doesn't pass the smell test!
okay done. You are right. Smells much better than NQ. Thanks for proving my point.
NQ Mobile announced they are selling two of their subsidiaries on Wednesday along with earnings.
The $80 million sale of NationSky is only a fraction of the $500 million valuation NQ placed on this subsidiary last year.
The announced $626 million minimum sale price of FL Mobile seems highly overpriced when compared to a completed and pending buyout offer for competitors.
If NQ Mobile could actually somehow sell FL Mobile at a massive premium compared to CMGE and iDreamSky then that would obviously be great for shareholders. However is this ends up like the $500 million valuation for NationSky which is now up being sold for $80 million a year later, then NQ Mobile would be pulling the same trick twice.
Yep what is new. He lead his sheep to slaughter in BOX now says he doesn't like it.
While this string of posts is way OT, I will put in my two cents. Asians usually have a lighter scent
because of the lack of meat in their diets. For some reason Chinese girls are known for getting very wet.
No to get back on topic, I think you have to start looking to get into BOX, forgive the pun, at these prices.
Nice call
Not sure if his sis's box is what he had in mind for lunch.
Now you know what your sis tastes. That's just wrong. She should have given you a heads up.

I tried it out. Seems to work just fine. Although in the textbooks it says the axes should be offset slightly toward lining up on the drive side, in my test they are on center. Even the though the belt is coming in on the pulley at an angle that would be gross misalignment (~5 degrees) in a normal setup, I don't see any untoward side effects. I ran it for half an hour and checked belt and pulley temp and they were barely over room temp.
(note the mill has nothing to do with this, it was just a convenient place to bolt things to for a test)
I imagine we could, or you could stop by and play with them

Niklas Kronwall stretchered off ice after hit from Cody McLeod
More NHL: Scores | Standings | League Leaders | Odds | Injuries | Power Rankings
Detroit Red Wings defenseman Niklas Kronwall was taken off the ice on a stretcher on Thursday just moments into the Wings' game at the Colorado Avalanche.
Kronwall goes down hard after a dirty hit to the head by McLeod. Kronwall leaves the ice on a stretcher. More info will come. Hope he's ok.— Detroit Red Wings (@DetroitRedWings) October 18, 2013
Thankfully, Kronwall was responsive and moving his hands while leaving the ice on the stretcher, always a positive in situations like this, especially after he lay on the ice for several minutes.
It's the second time this week that we've seen a prominent defenseman leave the ice on a stretcher after a big hit into the boards. In this case the hit came from Colorado's Cody McLeod, who was given a five-minute major and a game misconduct.
Surely he'll also be given a hearing with the NHL's discipline office in the near future as well. You have to be careful near the boards when a player has his back to you, no matter if the player moves there is still an onus on the hitter as the league has proven time and time again.

In the wake of the March 11 earthquake and rolling blackouts that are severely affecting university research laboratories across Japan, the award-winning undergraduate internship program NanoJapan is scrambling to run its annual summer program in reverse; rather than having U.S. undergraduates travel to Japan for lab internships, NanoJapan is offering partner labs in Japan the opportunity to send 25-30 students to Rice University laboratories for three months.
"This was a tough decision since we believe the best way to support Japan right now is to continue to conduct business as normal," said NanoJapan director and founder Junichiro Kono, professor of electrical and computer engineering and of physics and astronomy at Rice. "On the other hand, it was clear that some of our partner labs, especially those at Tohoku University, were severely affected by the earthquake and not ready to host any students. In the end, we decided that this reverse program is the best way to address the situation, both for our U.S. students and our Japanese collaborators."
Since 2005, the NanoJapan program has sent 16 students per year from U.S. universities to Japan for 12-week internships that simultaneously immerse students in Japanese culture and in cutting-edge nanotechnology research. Several of the program's partner labs in Japan are operating at partial capacity due to rolling blackouts and energy conservation efforts.
Kono and program administrator Sarah Phillips are making arrangements to host 25-30 undergraduate and graduate students from Japan along with the 14 U.S. students who have already committed to the program for this summer.
"We will make Rice's unique research facilities available to the Japanese students whose research has been suspended, while the U.S. students will be involved in an international research collaboration that is the hallmark of the NanoJapan program," Kono said.

How to Help Wildlife After an Oil Spill
Fish, birds, and other wildlife are often some of the first casualties of an oil spill. We've all seen the news footage and images showing such tragedies in the aftermath of the 2010 spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
Mounting Casualties
By late June 2010, two months into the ongoing spill in the Gulf, it was reported that over 900 birds were killed because of exposure to oil. Undoubtedly, that number will rise as the spill has yet to be contained as of mid-July. Also, it's almost certain that scores of fish and other marine life will suffer the same fate – or have suffered it already.
The attorneys general from several states all along the Atlantic coast have contacted BP and others connected to the spill about damages to the environment and wildlife in their states. Damages that have happened already and may yet come. Basically, they told BP they plan to hold it responsible for the damage.
These states probably have an argument, too. State and local governments may file claims against BP and the escrow account for spill-related damages and expenses.
Some groups like People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) have a novel idea. They're urging state officials to consider filing criminal charges against BP for cruelty to animals. These laws vary a great deal from state to state, but violators typically face fines, jail time, or both for each violation.
This is a long shot. Most animal cruelty laws require an intentional act – like physical abuse – or a failure to act – such as not giving an animal food, water, or shelter – to trigger a violation. BP's negligence in allowing the spill to happen probably doesn't qualify as either. It's arguable, though, BP's failure to adequately address the impact on wildlife in its spill response plan could satisfy some cruelty laws. It's an interesting issue to keep an eye on.
What You Can Do
Rescue and prevention efforts are underway throughout the Gulf region and along the coast. There are ways you can help. For instance, through Network for Good, you can find volunteer opportunities to rescue injured animals and wildlife and help prevent more damage. You can also find charities and organizations taking donations to help pay for rescue efforts and the costs of medical care and treatment.
Either way, be careful. If you volunteer and plan to visit areas hit by the spill, be mindful of your health. Water, soil, and animals contaminated with oil may pose health hazards to you. Consider wearing the same protective clothing workers use when actually cleaning up the spill.
Don't be too quick with your checkbook, either. Disasters like the Gulf spill give scammers a great opportunity to take money from people like you who want to help. Donate wisely. Take steps to make sure a charity is legitimate and will use your money properly. Check with the Better Business Bureau, and if you suspect fraud, contact the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and your state attorney general's office.
Oil spills like the one in the Gulf are indeed tragic. Your willingness to help is welcome and appreciated. Just make sure you don't become a victim of your own generosity.
Questions for Your Attorney
- Can individuals or groups sue oil companies and others for cruelty to animals like they can sue for other environmental issues?
- Is there any chance of getting my money back if I donated to a scam charity?
- Other than health concerns, are there any reasons why I shouldn't volunteer to help save wildlife?

The NHL has canceled the 2013 Winter Classic. The league called off the annual outdoor game due to the ongoing labor stalemate. This year's Winter Classic was set to be played in front of more than 100-thousand fans at Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor. The Detroit Red Wings were going to play the Toronto Maple Leafs on January 1st. Meanwhile, the Minnesota Wild were supposed to play at Tampa Bay tonight, but that game was wiped out to to the labor dispute, as well.

Another Excellent Tow.
Towed the 5th wheel up to the Grand Canyon last week... Just love the ease with which this PSD pulls my 11 - 12 thousand pound trailer... You go from 1200 feet to over 7000 feet in just around 110 miles so it's pretty much uphill most of the way there (there is a few miles of down hill)... Got just about 14 miles to the gallon but I was taking my time... Rarely exceeded 65 - 70 but tried to keep it between 60 and 65... If the hill got a bit steep and the truck slowed to 55 before I could get back on the gas I didn't worry about mashing the pedal any harder and just let it run at 55ish till the hill subsided a bit...
Man, I do love this TRUCK...
Congrats, Ken! How was the weather? Did it stay nice and sunny or did it rain while you were there? That's great mileage, by the way. How was your trek back up out of Camp Verde? I know I have to stay behind the trucks in the right lane when pulling that hill...
Weather was a two fold dilema for me... It was beautiful most of the day until the later afternoon when we'de get a bit of a drizzle and then stay overcast till late at night or early in the morning... No biggey there cuz you know what it's like in the Phoenix area... But the real issue I had is that I just got the new camera for my telescope... Here in the Phoenix area the light pollution has become so bad that with a 10 inch mirror I can only see the brightest objects as the city lights just drown everything else out.... Obviously I was going to be in dark skies and was really looking forward to some good viewing and pictures, oh well...
We had elk and mule deer roaming through the campgrounds every afternoon except one ... My wife just laughed knowing that the only thing I could shoot them with was our camera ... All in all though it was a great trip as we saw the canyon from pretty much one end to the other for a change....
The pull back out of the Verde was a piece of cake... Even when I got stuck behind some slow trucks I was able to jump out and accelerate around them without slowing down the folks coming up behind me too much ....
Sounds like a lot of fun... I'm with you, I love to head up north and spend some time in the woods. It's the perfect time of the year, too! Next time you head up, don't forget to bring your camera, so you can show off our beautiful forests and sunsets...
Since my daughter is starting @ NAU next week, the wife and I were planning to pull the 5er up north, unpack my daughter's stuff at the dorm and spend a few days in the woods relaxing. No quads, no dirt bikes, just spending some time in the woods. Unfortunately, I'm having some tire problems, which has thrown a wrench into the whole plan... PLUS, since it is just before the Labor Day holiday, we wouldn't have to fight with traffic getting there or back nor would we have to deal with loud, obnoxious campers... Oh, well. Perhaps we will plan it for the week after DITD...
Virgin Voyage
Getting ready for my first tow of my fifth wheel with my 'new to me' 2000 F350 psd (27,700 miles!). Traded up from a 24' 5er (5200 lbs.) to a 30' (9000 lbs) and the Tundra just wouldn't do it any more.Gotta luv the Superglide hitch I had in the Tundra though. I am a bit apprehensive of the pull through the Salt River canyon which has about the same change in elevation but does it in about 30 miles. I think a little patience will make it work OK. I have made the trip a number of times with the smaller rig. I am enjoying the web site and appreciate all the information that is available here for us newbies .
Please install a tranny temp gauge on an automatic before towing, you'd be surprised how quickly you can get over 220 degrees and ruin the tranny.
It should pull fine but i also reccomend a trans temp gauge

Reader poll
Do you think recruiting is a problem in Gwinnett high school sports?
- Yes. Something needs to be done. 54%
- No. It isn't very widespread. 14%
- Who cares. It happens everywhere. 32%

SNELLVILLE -- Officials with Gwinnett County Public Schools have launched an investigation of Shiloh High School's coach for alleged recruitment violations.
Spokesperson Sloan Roach with Gwinnett County Public Schools said that in late March the Georgia High School Association contacted Shiloh High School "requesting information to help GHSA with its investigation into alleged recruitment violations by Shiloh High football coach Brian Montgomery."
"As a result, Gwinnett County Public Schools has launched an investigation into this matter," Roach said. "As part of that investigation the district is reviewing alleged recruitment practices at that school."
Montgomery has been temporarily reassigned to the district's Instructional Support Center in Suwanee. Roach said that this is Montgomery's first year at Shiloh High School.
Roach said the investigation specifically dealt with GHSA's "recruiting and undue influence bylaws."
"As a district, we believe in the strict adherence to all rules and regulations in regards to the eligibility of our students and hold our staff to the same expectations," Roach said.
Mike Phillips, interim athletic director at Shiloh High School, said he was aware of the situation but declined to comment. Attempts to reach Montgomery on Monday evening were unsuccessful.
According to the GHSA's bylaws, recruiting and undue influence is defined as "the use of influence by any person connected directly or indirectly with a GHSA school to induce a student of any age to transfer from one school to another, or to enter the ninth grade at a member school for athletic or literary competition purposes, whether or not the school presently attended by the student is a member of the GHSA."

This is really a sad situation. But, really?? You are going to call out Shiloh when we know all the other high schools do this too. I mean doesn't Buford do this? But they are able to get around it because they are a city school and charge tuition. So in their case you pay to play. Unfortunately, in Shiloh's case they were not very smart about the way they were doing it. I know hindsight is 20/20 but next time Shiloh, you need to go to Parkview, Brookwood and some of the larger programs in your area to find out how to do it correctly......

"High Culture Hare"
This was my submission to this year's Red Dot auction, at the Chuck Jones Center for Creativity. Looney Tunes cartoons were where I heard my first taste of classical music, opera, and Shakespeare. Everything I new about "High Culture" as a kid, I learned from Bugs Bunny.
I took a quick photo of this piece once a day as I was working on it and strung together a little process gif. Pretty neat, eh?
By the way, a big thanks to everyone who participated in this year's Red Dot auction, it was an amazing show, and you all helped raise money for a great cause.

This Friday,

presents Idiot Box! A celebration of all things television.
My submission for this amazing show is a love letter to some of my favorites cartoons. I tried to work as many little nods in as I could, some of them a little more overt than others.
Fun fact, The Ninja Turtles were the first thing I ever learned to draw. It's kind of amazing that it took me this long to work one into a painting.
The show is guaranteed to be fantastic, and I urge you all to drop by the gallery and see the amazing work for yourselves.

"Greetings from the land of Ooo"
I just completed my new piece for
Gallery 1988's
upcoming Postcard show. Even better, I got to make it about one of my all time favorite shows, Adventure Time!
It was super fun to try and channel the feel of old school travel postcards and mesh it with the style of Adventure Time. I really dig how the colors came out, it's so crazy vibrant.
The Postcard show is going to be really neat because not only will the original paintings be on display, but each artist is also creating a limited edition postcard run of their piece.
I'll post more info as I get it, but for now enjoy this mathematical new painting.

Artists on Board - Kaumaha
My latest piece is a new hand painted skate deck for
Art Deck Co's
recurring "Artists on Board" show. Keeping with the tiki motif of my last deck. I just really like the way they look on the boards, it seems like an appropriate use of the material.
I really like how this one turned out, the colors and contrast are exactly where I wanted them, and the form is really clear.
I don't have specific details on the show just yet, but I'll keep you all posted. Check back soon for more info.

This article presents the results of pilot scale studies that examined the use of negative and neutral charged tubular and hollow fiber (HF) anaerobic membrane bio-reactors (AnMBR) for anaerobic digestion of waste activated sludge. Both AnMBR configurations were operated at a hydraulic retention time of 15 days, a sludge retention time (SRT) of 30 days, and a total solids loading of 1.2–1.3 kg m−3 day−1. The results indicate that both membrane digesters showed comparable total chemical oxygen demand and volatile solids removals of 47.6 and 49.1% respectively while maintaining a throughput that was two times that of the completely stirred tank reactor (CSTR) type digesters. The performance of the AnMBRs was similar to that of CSTRs operating at 30 days SRT. The AnMBRs were operated for 160 days. During this period no significant fouling was observed and membrane cleaning was not required. The average fluxes for the neutral and negative tubular membranes were 32 and 39 LMH when operated at a trans-membrane pressure TMP of 30 kPa. The HF membranes were operated at a constant flux of 11 LMH and the average TMP was less than 10 kPa. The critical flux measured for the tubular and HF membranes were near to 30 and 18 LMH mark respectively indicating a better performance by the former. However both AnMBR configurations generated comparable net energy. © 2012 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Environ Prog, 32: 598–604, 2013

Police were called just before 9 p.m. and had to use pepper spray to end the alleged fight, which briefly continued after they arrived at the fast-food restaurant on Ocean Gateway.
The girl, who's name police have not released, was released to her parents after being charged.

Just hours after her episode of "The Oprah Winfrey Show" aired, Charice sat down and taped her own cover of Justin Bieber's "Baby." The two appeared on the show on Tuesday , and just a day later Charice admitted that she's got Bieber fever.
"I just did that this morning," she told MTV News on Wednesday (May 12), just a day after her self-titled debut album hit stores. "And it was because I love 'Baby,' it's really a catchy song. I actually love covering some songs, but I think that's the best song I sang so far, 'cause that's my favorite song from Justin Bieber. I'm a fan. I love the story of his life. I love his attitude. I met him and he was really, really nice. I got the Bieber fever."
If Charice has Bieber fever, then her mentor, music producer and songwriter David Foster, has Charice fever. He helped Charice lock down the talent for her album, including Ryan Tedder, Diane Warren, Claude Kelly and himself. "He's a legendary producer and songwriter and he actually hooked me up with these amazing songwriters — he knows a lot of them," she explained. "He's really, really a perfectionist. He always wanted great, not good."
Now that she's finally released her album, after struggling at local singing competitions in the Philippines and posting videos online before being discovered by the likes of Foster and Oprah, she says it all feels "so amazing. And seeing my album it's now on iTunes … it's pretty amazing, and all the people who actually bought it, I want to thank them. I'm hoping that they love this album 'cause I really, really worked hard on this."
But, Charice is also looking to the future and has her sights set on working with some other A-list artists. "Justin Timberlake or Beyoncé," she said. "I love to dance and I think Justin is a really, really perfect example for an artist. He's a great dancer and all that, and I love Beyoncé. I love her style, her singing and I think she's an amazing woman. I'm trying to get her style, but do it in my own way. I think Lady Gaga is really, really unique. I think she's a great singer, songwriter and a great person."
Do you have Charice fever? Let us know in the comments!

SONIC REDUCER Been down so long that the initial whooping, joy-drenched Obama-phoria of Nov. 4 felt at least before learning of Proposition 8's passing like that moment during the flannel-flying whirl of the early '90s, when the world finally seemed like Kim's playground. When everywhere I looked, ultra-cool Kims like Kim Deal, Kim Gordon, and Kim Thayil seemed to signal the primacy of the K Word. Kim was the kid with perpetual Christmas morning going on. The universe seemed to smile down on us as we made art and did what we pleased, as if to say, "Whatever, dude, I mean, Kim. It's your day."
But what did we do with our Kimdate apart from starting clothing lines, burning out like a black hole sun, and simply keeping on? The moment passed, though it was still thrilling to finally talk to one of those crucial Ks namely Deal, on the occasion of her surprisingly revitalized, multi-hued new Breeders album, Mountain Battles (4AD) and her forthcoming two-fer at Slim's and to dig her breed of Midwestern rock 'n' roll realness. I mean, would anyone concerned with conjuring cool or projecting power really say she was bummed out and rocking the chub duds when asked about her typical day?
"I think I'm actually a little depressed," said the sometime Pixies bassist in deliberate, Kim-to-Kim tones from Dayton, Ohio. "I've been sleeping in really late and I don't know why. I gained weight maybe because I quit smoking a year ago. I've gained weight, and you know, I feel fat. So that's an odd feeling for me. I'm not very confident, and I feel kinda stupid, so I dress really bad and I just wear sweats. You know, when you're looking good and feel good, you have a spring in your step, and then when you're heavy for some reason, you're just like, 'Ah, lemme just get these sweats on and do what I have to do today.'"
Chin up, Kim at least you have the Steve Albini-recorded Mountain Battles with insinuating, melancholy songs like the doo-wop-inflected "We're Going to Rise" and the dreamily minimalist "Night of Joy." "Can't stop the wave of sorrow," Deal coos in the latter alongside Deal's twin sister Kelley, Jose Medeles, and Mando Lopez. "This night of joy follows oh, everywhere you go." That and at least Deal has vaulted past her smoker days of getting winded after running up stairs. With the help of a prescription medication that altered her brain chemistry, she managed to kick the nic fits. "I felt a bit like a sociopath taking it for three months last year," Deal said. "Now it's worn off and I'm just fat." She chuckled. "It's better than being a skinny sociopath! There's far too many of those wandering the streets right now."
But back to the average Deal day. Long after all our Kim Kristmases, Deal told me that when she isn't touring or planning, say, the Breeders-curated May 2009 All Tomorrow's Parties in England, she continues to spend her spare hours helping her father care for her mother, who has Alzheimer's: "She's doing pretty good. She knows who I am and stuff, but she can get on a loop and repeat some crazy shit! But it's like, 'OK, mom, whatever.'" So there is a morning after full of earthy laughter straight from Planet Deal. *

Beach Restaurant
I dont even remember the name of this restaurant...they are dotted along the coast, many of them. They are all good and inexpensive.
Favorite Dish: Seafood platter, with lots of lemon butter, garlic and MILD peri-peri.Related to:
- Luxury Travel
Sagres: Prawns, calamari fresh from the sea
I had so much calamari here that I will be able to go without it for a while. They have calamari as a starter, with fish, without fish whatever your heart desires.
I found this restaurant much cheaper than the one at the hotel and the servings are enormous. After our first meal there I chose my meals from the starter menu. My children don't eat rice. So with their rice and the starter calamari I had a great meal. The rice is very tasty. It is made with veggies and some garlic. The price for a starter calamari is 75 000 meticais. R25 or $5.
The calalmari and fish (this is enough for 2)
is 160 000 , R53 or $8.
My husband had prawn curry once and it was very tasty and well-priced.
This restaurant is right next to the hotel with a nice seaview.
It is quite popular with the locals and it filled up quickly after 19:00.
The second time we went there all the waiters were running to hand us menus and to serve us. We found this a bit strange until we realised that the locals don't leave tips.
We are used to a 10% tip in SA so we tipped the same amount there.
We never experienced any bad service and the waiters were very grateful and couldn't thank us enough for the tips.
Favorite Dish: What else but the calamari!!!Related to:
- Food and Dining
Restaurant at the Holiday Inn: What a choice!!!
I find hotel restaurants always a bit overpriced. This one follows the trend but the food is great.
Breakfast includes everything you can think about.
There are lots of fruit and even veggies if you don't want to give in to the pancakes, croissants, cream cakes, sausages and bacon.
Dinner can be from the buffet or the menu.
I found the salad (from the buffet) a bit expensive at $7.50. The complete buffet is $18 but too much for me.
My husband and Rian found this a good option. They have no problem when it comes to food.
I must say the salads are great. It included a lot of fish dishes.
I have one difficult child when it comes to eating and seeing there were no pizzas and hamburgers on the menu he ended up with a plate of chips most of the time. The menu is not very child-friendly and if you have little ones it might be a problem finding something for them.
Favorite Dish: I loved the salads. I had some new interesting dishes. One night they had a great tuna dish and mussels. The other night there were calamari and an amazing dish they made with aubergines. They also used a lot of chickpeas in their salads.
It was very different from the saladbar at our local Spur where pasta and potatoes are the favourite ingredients for salads.Related to:

favourite eateries - are they still around ?
Costa da Sol on the beach at the northern end of the City is still thriving:
Coimbra was for Galinha Peri peri ;
Hong Kong opposite the Market for fine cantonese meals;
Laurentina Beer Hall for liver and giblet snacks accompanied by Black beer:
Bambi for teas and late night snacks;
Golden Dragon for chinese steaks and seafoods;
what are the new In-Eateries ??
Best sea food? Here it is
It is called Water front and you know why? Becuse it is in front of the water. With a swimming pool, and jaz group it is really very attracting. Close to VIP Hotel. It is amazing you will agree with me.
Favorite Dish: Fresh Seafood, Fresh Seafood, Fresh Seafood!
You just ask for a mix seafood and they brign a big oval dish with all the animals that swim in the sea. Of course cooked! Enjoy!

Piri-Piri is definetly the most famous restaurant in Maputo. It is very old (comes from the portuguese era)and not expensive for a foreign person.
This is a very pleasant and coloured restaurant (the chairs and tables have different colours reminding the 60s). In the wall you can admire some handmade pictures of places of Maputo before the independence. If you prefer you can always have your meal outside, under the beautiful acacia trees.
Favorite Dish: Here you can find grilled chicken with piri-piri (spicy chicken)and grilled mozambican shrimps. I surely advice you to try this and to taste the national beers (Laurentina, Manica and 2M).

Lord Jim has it tough.
Lord Jim seems to even have it rough as far as food goes. He eats rice and vegetables, maybe chicken or tiny dried fish - everyday he's in Nhamatanda.
Granted, he pays one of his students a paltry (but a lot in Nhamatanda terms) $3 per week to get the food, cook it, keep his Colas cold, bring him his water, clean his room, be at his beckon call.
But Kid loves Lord Jim and stays at Lord Jim's spacious pad 3 days a week while Lord Jim goes off to the big city its gracious nightlife, beaches and camping, among other delicacies.
All of Lord Jim's meals are hand made and cooked over a wood fire. Lord Jim loves Coke. He drinks a couple a day. And at 20 cents each, he can afford to. His cokes are kept in the neighbors refrigerator- I don't know how they do it, but they have a refrigerator.

a bit of europe in Africa,but wild
Favorite Dish: prawns ,rice, in a lemon butter and peri -peri sauce,washed down with the local beer and salad with olive oil,baracuda steaks also good along with the very hot local giblets
Walk around!!
No Lonely PLanet guiding me here, we never take guides advice for food. We walk around until we smell something good and go for it. It is a great way to find some hidden treasures and only once in awhile are we disappointed. It has always worked for us in the past and what a way to really experience the local food.
Outdoor stalls: Forgot the Salt?
If Lord Jim has forgotten something, or just wants to buy a treat for the girls who live 3 to a mud hut and study in his classes, Lord Jim can pop into a local convenience store day or night, shoot the breeze with the guys and get cookies, salt, washing detergent, you name it.
Fish Shop: Smells like Tuna
The great thing about Nhamtanda is that they sell fish late at night. And they're so trustworthy in the village that they'll even let a guy like me- who they've never met- have a part time job. Lord Jim was gracious enough to take my photo. Most royalty don't even know how to hold a camera, but in this case Lord Jim did a fine job. Thanks my Lord.
If you go to Catembe (Maputo)...
If you go to Catembe (Maputo) go to see Fernando Muccavel, he have a little bar next to the fish market and if he wants he can prepare you the better 'camaraos' than you never eat.

continued In 1987 the visitor's center opened under the management of the Saratoga Springs Preservation Foundation. In 1989, the city took over operationof the visitor's center and made it part of the mayor's office.
Today, the center's staff spend a lot of time fielding questions.
"It's more than telling people where to stay or dine, there's an educational commitment. We show a movie called 'Discover Saratoga.' It's a little bit dated but it gives history of the town. We have people at the front desk with many resources to share and an entire room of brochures," said Roberts.
Tours of the building are also provided, which take about fifteen minutes.
Saratoga is a destination, and as such is host to many folks passing through on their way to Lake Placid, or to Canada from New York City or Boston.
"We get to snag people who don't even know they're going to spend the night here. They get so much personal service and carefully prepared information to help them in their travels," said Roberts.
One of the more peculiar requests at the center was for driving directions to Mexico.
"We also serve our community. We have regular exhibits, one we have right now is about Solomon Northrup and that went back up because Brad Pitt is making a move about Solomon Northrup," said Roberts.
The center also gives Brown Bag Lunch programs through the Library and works in conjunction with the History Museum and the Racing Museum on what is called HHH, for Health, History and Horses. Additionally, the center assists area schools with their fourth grade syllabus as it relates to teaching students about local history, giving walking tours of Congress Park and the History Museum.
Through History Legends and Lore, the center also gives guided walking tours of the park to the general public during the summer that covers 200 years of history in ninety minutes.

Net income applicable to common stock for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 increased by 27.9% to $24.2 million, or $0.76 per diluted share, compared to pro forma net income applicable to common stock of $18.9 million, or $0.60 per diluted share, in the prior year. In addition to improved income from operations, net income benefited from lower variable interest costs during 2009. The pro forma results for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 assume that the one-time, in-kind preferred stock dividend described below occurred and the preferred stock was converted to common stock at the beginning of the period. Net income applicable to common stock for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 on a GAAP basis was $13.2 million, or $0.52 per diluted share.
Cash from operations for the three months ended September 30, 2009 was $25.4 million, a $3.1 million, or 13.9% increase, compared to 2008. The improvement was primarily the result of improved operating results and a $0.8 million decrease in working capital. Days sales outstanding were reduced by 3 days to a record low of 47 days as of September 30, 2009 from 50 days as of September 30, 2008.
As of September 30, 2009, $76.1 million, or 18.6%, of the Company's total debt of $409.7 million was subject to variable interest rates.

MicroBeta JET is a multi-detector instrument designed for liquid scintillation (LS) or luminescence detection of samples in microtitration plates, tubes or on filters.
Three different MicroBeta models are available. Two manually loaded models have sample capacities of up to 16 or 32 plates. The third model is fitted with an external loading platform for fully automatic loading by robot systems.
MicroBeta JET has either 1, 2, 3 or 6 detectors and can count in either 96 or 24 formats. Each MicroBeta detector comprises two photo-multiplier tubes (PMTs), one above the sample and one below. This arrangement provides the best possible counting geometry for every assay type.
For routine LSC, coincidence counting is a robust and sensitive method. Coincidence counting is independent of the type of scintillator and is unaffected by changes in temperature. In an ideal sample tritium efficiency is in excess of 55% whilst the background is typically less than 10 CPM.
In the case of measurement of Scintillation Proximity Assay (SPA) or Cytostar-T scintillating microplates ParaLux Count Mode is recommended because this maximizes the advantage of the lower PMT. In these assays the radio-label is much closer to the lower PMT and as a consequence considerably higher counting efficiencies can be obtained. ParaLux has also been shown to give superior color quench correction1.
The novel feature in JET is the inclusion of multiple reagent injectors for measuring prompt (or flash) reactions. Multi-detector JETS can have one or two Inject

Altho some say shopping online saves money, you don't get to take advantage of the discounted fresh food. I find some of the best deals and then go home and throw it in the freezer is possible or plan a meal around my find.
Get the ISBN number and shop online. Often you can find it for 20-80% off what they are charging in the school book store. Used saves, and buying online saves even more!
I save $ by doi the majority of my grocery shopping online and having it delivered to my home. I have found this process quite helpful. -it totals as you put items in your basket -store coupons / deals are automatically given to you - online store coupons available - great selection
If you shop online a lot check out mypoints.com. You click thru their link to the store you want to shop from and you get points for the money you spend. Then you trade in the points for gift cards. I've used it for years and I have not spent a penny of my own money at Barnes and Noble in just about as long because I keep getting their gift cards and then using them to get more points.

Good morning, it's Thanksgiving and we've been given two days away from the office, which still doesn't mean I get to spend some time away from you guys. It just means I get to slouch and stare at the ceiling at home, rather than the neon lights in the office, which is kind of a relief to be honest. So, what am I doing at home? It's good that you ask. It's very exciting actually. Look, I've washed my laudry and now it's drying in the room with me.

Have an important family trip planned this weekend and have to start the day early... really early; 6 p.m. Now, let me see, could there be something going on in the gaming world at this hour ...
