Nutrient Timing: When to Eat What for Maximum Nutrition
BY: Stacey Colino
As they say, timing is everything, and that goes for nutrition as much as anything else. Whether you're heading to work, going to the gym or simply getting ready for bed, "being strategic about what, when and how much you eat can make a big difference in your energy and performance," says nutritionist Heidi Skolnik, co-author of Nutrient Timing for Peak Performance and president of Nutrition Conditioning, a nutrition consulting practice in New York City.
Here's how you can make nutrient timing work for you at every part of your day.
1. You need plenty of energy for an early-morning run or spinning class.
Nutrient timing Solution: You might be tempted to roll out of bed, slip on your exercise clothes and get out the door. But having a slice of toast with jam, half a banana or some crackers -- in other words, 15-25 grams of carbohydrates 15-30 minutes before exercising -- "will give you the energy you need to work harder and perform at a higher level for longer," says Skolnik. "It also may help prevent some of that post-workout hunger that comes later in the day if you don't eat," she says.
2. You want to crank up your alertness for a midmorning brainstorming session at work.
Nutrient timing solution: Include some protein and complex carbs in your breakfast, advises registered dietitian Leslie Bonci, director of sports nutrition at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center and author of The Active Calorie Diet. "Protein will stimulate the release of dopamine, which increases alertness," she explains. If it's been hours since breakfast, consider having a small serving of low-fat Greek yogurt or a cheese wedge and some fruit, along with some water, an hour before the meeting. A well-timed cup of coffee -- 30 minutes before the event -- can also boost alertness, says Bonci.
3. You need help avoiding a midafternoon energy slump.
Nutrient timing solution: Rule No. 1: "Don't have a huge meal for lunch and overload your stomach," says Bonci, because that will make you feel sleepy and sluggish. "Keep the volume down and add protein to increase alertness," she advises. Good lunch choices include: a salad with salmon or shrimp, some sushi, or a bean soup and a small salad.
4. You need sustainable energy for stop-and-go activities -- perhaps a tennis tournament or a marathon day of shopping.
Nutrient timing solution: Stick with healthy, well-balanced meals, as usual, and bring snacks and plenty of fluids to give yourself pick-me-ups during the event. "Figure out what your stomach can handle, and give yourself small amounts of carbs to refuel," says Skolnik. Some simple, easy options: A small bag of dry cereal or trail mix, a peanut butter and jelly sandwich cut into quarters, some pretzels or fig bars.
5. You're looking forward to a good night's sleep.
Nutrient timing solution: To put yourself in the mood to snooze, have a small serving of sorbet, a mini bowl of cereal or a few graham crackers or animal crackers with a glass of milk 60-90 minutes before turning in, says Bonci. "Go with something with carbohydrates to boost production of calming serotonin," she explains, and you'll set yourself up to feel sleepy.
Prone to Heartburn?
If so, you might want to skip the pre-bedtime snack. Even if you can handle a little nibble before bed -- and some people with heartburn can -- it's important to steer clear of large meals within three hours of bedtime. "The biggest issue is the amount of food you eat," says Bonci. "You want to allow enough time for the food to leave the stomach." It's also wise to avoid buttery, fried, creamy or other high-fat foods in the evening and to include protein in your light evening meal -- "it helps keep the lower esophageal sphincter closed," says Bonci.
So if you want to be at your best at work, in the gym or anywhere else, try using nutrient timing to your advantage. After all, says Skolnick, "It's not just what you eat; it's when you eat it."

Food Facts
- Greek yogurt has twice the protein of regular yogurt because it takes 3 to 4 times more milk to make it. Celebrate June Dairy Month with Greek yogurt topped with fresh berries.
- Bok Choy, also known as Chinese cabbage or pak choi, has been grown in China for over 6,000 years. Choose firm stalks, avoiding brown spots and wilted leaves, and add to stir-fry.
- Apple skin is full of fiber & Alzheimer's-disease-fighting antioxidants -- so eat it! Refrigerate in a plastic bag away from foods with strong odors; they absorb odors easily.
- Collards, mustard greens and kale are available in bags, pre-washed & chopped -- so they're easy to steam or saute! Eat your greens as a side dish or in quesadillas, soups & stews.
- Avocados are rich in 20 nutrients and great beyond guacamole. Chop for a ham, egg and cheese wrap; slice for a deli roast beef sandwich; cube and toss into linguini and shrimp.
- Black-eyed Peas: Fresh, canned and frozen varieties are all nutrient-rich options -- making it easier to eat your daily veggies. Rinse and drain canned peas to cut down on salt.
- Ugli Fruit, beautiful benefits! Peel & eat for fiber & vitamin C. Choose fruit heavy for size; dents normal and color not important. Store on counter 5 days or refrigerate 2 weeks.
- Radicchio, also known as Italian chicory, is high in vitamin K for bone health. Great in salads: Choose bright, tender leaves; avoid brown or limp ones. Refrigerate up to 3 days.
- Cherimoya, a high-fiber tropical fruit, tastes like a mix of strawberry and mango. Choose firm, unblemished fruit, cut in wedges and spoon out creamy flesh.
- Kale in lentil soup is a double dose of New Year's luck! Round-shaped lentils symbolize coins; kale, paper money. Both are packed with antioxidants for a year of healthy fortune.
- Tea is native to China, but Americans invented tea bags and first drank iced tea at the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair. Enjoy hot and reap health benefits from both black & green tea.
- Dried Plums (formerly prunes) may help prevent cancer and decrease inflammation. Slice fruit, stuff with cheese and walnuts, and wrap in prosciutto to make quick party appetizers.
- Oatmeal month is officially January. Cook breakfast oatmeal with 1% milk for extra protein, calcium and vitamin D -- or enjoy whole-grain oatmeal raisin cookies as a smart snack.
- Spices and herbs add antioxidants to every dish. One tsp. ground cinnamon contains as many antioxidants as 1/2 cup blueberries; 1 tsp. yellow curry as many as 1/2 cup red grapes.
- Fish, the best source of omega-3 fats for heart and brain health, may even help ward off depression. Mix canned white tuna, salmon and sardines for an omega-rich seafood salad.
- Orange juice is filled with immune-boosting nutrients that fight colds and the flu: vitamins C and B6, folate, potassium and magnesium. Choose 100% juice with no added sugar.
- Walnuts are a significant source of plant-based omega-3 fats. These fats -- also in ground flaxseed, canola oil and edamame -- provide many heart-healthy benefits.
- Pear, apple and Asian pear slices + yogurt-based dips = winning strategy for game-day parties. Combine Greek vanilla yogurt with chocolate-hazelnut spread for a fast, healthy dip.
- Pumpkin and sweet potato -- fresh, mashed or canned -- adds disease-fighting antioxidants to waffles and pancakes. Use whole-wheat flour to double your fiber and nutrient intake.
- Snack smart to achieve weight loss goals. Choose fast and fully edible fruits like grapes, apples, persimmon and kiwi. Yes, fuzzy kiwi skin is edible! Simply wash and rub dry.

The Pitt is for both Fallout 3 "completists" and "casual" players, says Bethesda
Fallout 3 DLC The Pitt will appeal to both obsessives and casual players just looking for fun and story, Bethesda's told VG247.
"The content works well for both camps," said Jeff Gardiner, lead producer on the 360 and PC content.
"If you're a 'completist,' you'll find not only new Raider Armor, weapons like the AutoAxe, and a new set of power armor, but also be able to experience a new part of Fallout that has been hinted about both in Fallout 3 and the canon as a whole.
"If you're a casual player, you'll get hours of new content, a compelling story, plus all of the above."
The DLC, the game's second piece after Operation: Achorage, was set in Pittsburgh for several reasons, we were told.
"Pittsburgh has a special resonance with several of our team members," Gardiner added.
"Plus, it was fun to build large buildings that aren't completely bombed out, as the city itself escaped direct bombardment during the war. It's
also relatively close to Washington, DC. Pittsburgh also fit thematically with the notion of exploring a Raider society, which the player will now finally be able to do."
The Pitt releases for both PC and 360 on March 24, priced 800 MS Points. You'll get about four hours play from it.

The Pitt adds four hours play, new Achievements, to Fallout 3
The Pitt will add roughly four hours of play to Fallout 3, Jeff Gardiner, lead producer on the download, has told VG247.
"The Pitt comprises of around four hours of playtime," said the developer.
"You can always re-visit it for its unique vendors and repeatable quests as well."
Gardiner added: "There are also four new Achievements, as well as new perks."
Your 800 MS Points won't just be sunk into playtime, however. We were assured there's plenty of "phat lewt" to be had.
"There's plenty of new gear in The Pitt," said Gardiner.
"It's just as brutal but not as high tech as the load-outs available in Operation: Anchorage. There are
several new raider armors, even a stylized version of the Brotherhood of Steels' Power Armor.
"New weapons include an 'AutoAxe,' a two handled melee weapon complete with a serrated rotary blade, great for sawing through bone, and a silenced scoped automatic rifle we've coined 'The Inflitrator'."
The Pitt releases for 360 and PC only on March 24.

Fallout 3 DLC to raise level cap to 30
Speaking with Eurogamer, Fallout 3 DLC lead producer, Jeff Gardiner, said that Bethseda is going to raise the level cap from 20 to 30 when DLC, Broken Steel is released in March.
"Along with removing the game's 'ending' with Broken Steel, we figure raising the level cap would allow them to [enjoy the game for longer]," he said.
"We plan on raising it to level 30 – but it will be a long, hard climb to get there!"

Bethseda details Fallout 3 DLC
Bethesda's detailed its Fallout 3 DLC, promising that Operation Anchorage will expand the game by roughly four to five hours.
The content will cost 800 points and is pencilled in for a January release. It will see you fight the Chinese red army and liberate the town of Anchorage via an in-game simulator. The mission will focus on stealth and a new 'Covert Ops' perk will be available to the player.
Operation Anchorage "will include new weapons, armor and achievements! It's full of top-secret technology used by both sides during the war, which the player will of course be able to use throughout the main game as well," said Fallout 3 lead producer Jeff Gardiner to IGN.
Hit the link for much more including some details on two more expansion packs, Broken Steel and The Pit.

Doncaster RLFC 16-34 Halifax RLFC
Tyrer inspires Doncaster defeat
Steve Tyrer contributed 18 points as Halifax recorded a 34-16 Kingstone Press Championship victory over Doncaster in a game of two halves.
Tyrer crossed over twice in the opening 20 minutes, either side of a Rob Worrincy try, with the former on target with two of the three conversions for Halifax.
Sam Barlow, Craig Ashall and Anthony Thackery also got scores for the away side with Tyrer adding three more goals to give them a 34-0 lead at the break.
The second period saw Doncaster muster three tries from Chris Spurr, Ben Blakemoor and Brett Waller with Paul Cooke kicking over two goals - but that was as far as their comeback went and Halifax failed to add to their first-half tally.

That's interesting. It looks similar to ChampCar cars (in a general way), and is manufactured by the same company that builds the DP01s. With that big old V12 back there, it ought to be an interesting drive. It must sound pretty damn good.
Strange concept for a league. I hope it proves to be popular, but it's just so... strange. |

it is champcars the car is called the DP-09 which is very similar to the DP-01. Only this car is more F1 style which is interesting
It also keeps Power2Pass from ChampCar which is neat. And yes it is strange concept for a league If someone could make me a model for that car it would be all i need for my league! |

MANATEE COUNTY — Pastor Charles Young admittedly is not fond of heights.
But that's not stopping him from perching 60 feet in the air for five days to help underprivileged children as they head back to school.
Young, Bayside Community Church's outreach pastor, will sit suspended in a crane at the Creekwood Chick-fil-A off State Road 70 from 6:30 a.m. to 10 p.m., Aug. 2-6, or until the church collects at least 1,000 backpacks and other school supplies.
Donations will benefit children in need at Oakridge Apartment Community, PACE Center for Girls and Oneco Elementary School.
"I'll be just kind of sitting there, and hopefully catching people's eyes as they drive by," Young said. "We'll have the Bayside trailer there (to accept donations)."
The collection, he said, is important because it will provide much-needed school supplies for children whose families cannot afford them.
Bayside has done some sort of back-to-school outreach for the last seven years, but Young said this year is unique.
"We've never done one on this scale," he said. "We're wanting to do 1,000 backpacks or even more. We hope by getting the community involved in it, we'll be able to bless more kids."
Donations can be dropped off at Bayside Community Church, 15800 S.R. 64 E., Bradenton, or at the State Road 70 Chick-fil-A, 5206 73rd Lane E., Bradenton.
Volunteers from Bayside will be distributing the supply-filled backpacks to families on Aug. 16.

Recipes using pac peo as ingredient?
I accidentally bought a big bunch of pac peo at my local Global Foods market and I don't know how to use it. I know it is used in Vietnamese as well as other Southeast Asian cuisines, but I'm having a hard time finding recipes online. Any ideas? I also have pork and chicken on hand, so any recipe that includes one of those would be appreciated.

If you're an IT manager calling your internal VMware or other virtualization farm a "Private Cloud" in an attempt to prove to your leadership that "public cloud is insecure" or "I built the same thing as Amazon Web Services (AWS)", you need to get ready for a dose of reality in the coming year.
Server-huggers beware, you might have been able to get away with it until now, but 2013 will mark a turning point in which the term Private Cloud will be permanently exposed for what it is... a capital intensive, server stacking, virtualization game.
Just because you might have flexibility to decide how much RAM you can assign to a VM, doesn't give you the right to "cloud-wash" your internal IT operation and call it something that it's not... because although it may be Private (can someone tell me again why it's important to be able to touch your servers?), it's certainly not Cloud.
Not that there's anything wrong with that...
Just as Jerry Seinfeld so famously quoted... I'm not saying there is anything wrong with running an IT shop where you still spend lump sums of capital (CapEx) for physical resources, especially if you are working to make those resources flexible and reliable by optimizing your data center, using virtualizing, and invoking best practices like continuous monitoring and agile development.
Just don't use the word "Cloud" because your business users and C-level leadership are getting smarter every day on the incredible economic advantages, real security story, and global scalability benefits of public cloud.
In short, selling them a story like "my private cloud is the same as AWS, but more secure because it's on-premise" is going to begin to look childish. And worse, it will discount the credibility of the (probably pretty good and still very useful) internal IT environment that you've worked so hard to build.
If you physically touched it, estimated your peak demand before buying, and/or don't have a re-occurring OpEx fee... IT'S NOT CLOUD.
Tightening definitions
The definition of "Cloud" will also further tighten in 2013, where it will be reserved only for systems that allow you to:
• transform your IT into only operational expenditures (OpEx)
• go global in minutes
• never have to guess your initial or future capacity
Despite all the marketing from old guard IT and large virtualization software companies that claim building your own Cloud is the best way to go, your Private Cloud still:
• is a large capital expense (CapEx)
• rarely allows even the largest installs to go global in minutes
• makes you commit to a upfront minimum and requires you to predict future capacity
In his recent keynote at Amazon Web Services Re:Invent conference, SVP Andy Jassy put it in the best perspective I've heard yet, giving these six simple items that differentiate the burden of private, from value of public. You can watch his keynote on Youtube here. Check out around minute 32 for the best Private Cloud bashing.
It's okay, just try a little bit... it won't hurt you.
Remember those drug prevention classes in middle school (was it called D.A.R.E. everywhere or was that just an Ohio thing?) where the police officers would come and tell you the dangers of drugs and how they get you hooked by getting you to just try a little bit?
"Don't even do it once," they would say, "Because if you try it once, you'll be hooked for life!"
Well, it seems the private cloud loving internal IT folks were all sitting in the front row during those officer presentations, because they took this advice a little too seriously and have applied it to public cloud adoption too.
"The best thing about public cloud is it's cheaper to fail than belabor conversations about whether to try it or not." - Me
Internal IT will remain greatly relevant
Don't worry internal IT, you'll still be greatly needed by your company in 2013 and well beyond because there absolutely is a place for flexible, private infrastructure in today's IT.
Organizations that have invested millions in capital on IT hardware, software, networking, and human resources would be completely insane to throw it all away today and move everything to public cloud tomorrow; however, in the same breath, I would also call these organizations insane to keep piling investment into more private resources given the extreme economic, scalability, and functionality advantages of public cloud.
Over the coming years, even very large internal IT groups, simply won't be able to keep up with the rate of innovation, security, and scale that public cloud operations will achieve.
Internal IT will also face tough competition from rogue business users going outside of their internal IT to get what they need from public cloud with something as simple as a credit card swipe. Of course, internal IT may think the best weapon against this is a strict lock-down policy where business users get punished for going rouge; but, a moratorium on public cloud only hampers corporate innovation and creates animosity between the teams. I suggest there is another answer for internal IT... Embrace, broker, and support.
Although easier said than executed correctly, cloud brokering both public and private IT services, while supporting business users on both,will be the key function for internal IT groups staying relevant to the business and even thriving in 2013 and beyond.
Disclaimer: These predictions are based on the fact that world does not end on December 21, 2012 as the Mayan calendar predicts. If we never reach 2013, I reserve all rights to drastically modify these predictions.

The EU's misguided singling out of Israel

Syria is devastated by civil war. Egypt is immersed in violent turmoil. Iran continues to enrich uranium and spin centrifuges at an alarming pace, despite the smiles and smooth talk of its new president. Together with its proxy Hezbollah, Iran continues to destabilize a region awash in upheaval, with its tentacles visible in every conflict in the area, from Lebanon to Iraq and Bahrain to Yemen. And the menacing threat of al-Qaida remains ever-present.
Enter the European Union.
With the region aflame with so many crises demanding attention, the EU announced that it was imposing a ban on Israeli institutions in east Jerusalem and the West Bank.
The move and its timing, coming just as Israeli and Palestinian negotiators resumed negotiations after a three-year hiatus, could not have been more inauspicious.
Highly questionable for moral, historical and legal reasons, the ban would be counterproductive at best and harmful at worst. It will only serve as a disincentive for the Palestinian Authority to engage in serious final-status negotiations. If the Palestinians can get what they want from international bodies, why bother negotiate with the Israelis? Indeed, the controversial and one-sided decision to single out the settlements smacks of imbalance and will likely only serve to harden positions.
Did the EU ever condition aid to the Palestinians on an end to the rabid anti-Israel and anti-Semitic incitement in Palestinian media? Just in the past couple weeks we have seen the lethal consequences of such incitement: a 61-year-old Israeli man was bludgeoned to death outside his Jordan Valley home by Palestinians wielding axes and iron bars, a 9-yearold Israeli girl was shot outside her home in a West Bank settlement just outside of Jerusalem, an Israeli soldier was killed by a former Palestinian coworker who had lured him to the West Bank, while another Israeli soldier was shot dead in the city of Hebron during the Feast of the Tabernacles.
Has the EU singled out any other country for such one-sided treatment? How do they explain their direct financial assistance to Turkish-occupied Northern Cyprus? How many people in Europe – and around the world – know that the much touted "Green Line" is not a legal border but simply the armistice line drawn after Israel's War of Independence when it was attacked by five invading Arab armies? Israel has legal, moral and security claims to this land.
It is my firm belief that a viable peace – and any future border changes – can only be worked out in direct bilateral negotiations between Israelis and Palestinians.
The heads of the Israel Allies Caucus in the US Congress, which I co-chair, have written to EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton urging her to halt these harmful guidelines. Similarly, a group of two dozen parliamentarians from around the world, including members of the European Parliament, recently signed a similar petition. Ashton may have acted unilaterally as the members of the European Parliament were unaware of the pending action before she announced it.
I am also encouraged that Secretary of State John Kerry has urged EU leaders to suspend this ban, especially in light of the resumption of Israeli-Palestinian peace negotiations.
Instead of being one-sided in their criticism, the EU should redouble its efforts to promote economic development in the West Bank as opposed to taking punitive steps against one side. Perversely, a ban such as this would hurt struggling Palestinians more than it would hurt Israel.
Economic progress on both sides will do more to bring about the kind of solution the EU so wants. A true peace will only be decided in bilateral peace talks that both sides buy into.
We hope that our friends in Europe will take heed.
It is in the true interest of peace that they do so.

Dennis answered an ad for "Wanted - experienced off shore cruisers to assist in a maiden voyage to the Bahamas". David and Lowie Bock Nordhavn 55 Salty Dawg. The Bocks were friends from TrawlerFest days as Dennis had often recruited Lowie to be a presenter on ladies issues. So we were warmly received.
We arrived in Aventura (North Miami) on Friday April 14th at 1:00 and were welcomed aboard the Salty Dawg by Dave Bock and his son Leigh. Leigh owns a construction company and is presently in New Orleans working, but took time off to come help his Dad with projects on the boat and set him off on his retirement dream. A nice young man, hard worker and fun to be with. He returned to work on Tuesday.
Our responsibilities are to share our knowledge with preparation of the boat, provisioning (all kinds of items but most importantly FOOD and Fishing Gear to be at sea 5 weeks) course planning. Dave and Lowie have owned a Pilgrim 44 for 9 years and are familiar with the intercostal, although, there was generally a captain aboard when doing long cruises. We are here for confidence building. A short cruise to an anchorage and an overnight last Saturday proved to be uneventful and foretells a great experience ahead.
Pilothouse Helm
As this is a new boat (owners moved aboard in March) there are many systems, and electronics to learn. An expert is aboard now giving an orientation to Dennis and Dave of the extensive electronics in the wheel house. Lowie is out finishing the final shopping as I complete the stowing and baking of a 14# turkey.
The Bocks are very easy to be with and we are enjoying the time even through the stress of workers on board, workers who haven't shown up and a growing lists of things to accomplish. But alas, it has come together, the captain is beginning to sing (made up songs).
The weather has been hot and humid and we have had a daily swim in the marina pool. Tonight the car will be delivered to a friends for summer storage the dog ramp will be stowed, all systems prepared for a Friday 0:dark 30 departure. We need to time our departure to coincide with a lift bridge on our way to the Fort Lauderdale cut. Will head for "west end" of Grand Bahama Island where we will declare customs. After that.......we will cruise a little, anchor a lot, and hopefully get Dave through his retirement transition. He sold a Dental practice December 29th in Torrington Conn.
Oh yeah, dogs. When we heard 2 dogs.... we raised our eyebrows.... but NO PROBLEM. Pretzel a 13 year old arthritic Golden Retriever lays where she wants and sleeps 90% of the time. May bark to beg for a table scrap at dinner. DannieDoodles, a cross of White Standard Poodle and Golden Retriever is extremely calm for a 2 year old. Most of the time she crawls into a corner out of the way and sleeps until she hears the leash rattle. Barks only when appropriate as guard dog.
Not sure when I will be able to communicate again....... SO please send me only personal messages, NO FORWARDS, PICTURES, ETC. Cell phone will be off as roaming fees will be prohibitive. Will check in via phones and phone cards occasionally. To see picture of boat, www.nordhavn.com Click on 55.
The plan is to be in Rhode Island first week of June.

Really enjoyed this tour!. It was due to be a small group tour, but in the event there was just me which was great! My guide was Ni, who was extremely knowledgeable and our driver was Tang, they were both really personable and did an excellent job. Cruising down the Perfume River in the Dragon Boat was lovely, very relaxing and great views. Bao Quoc Pagoda was amazing, as was the Citadel, and the Forbidden Purple City. After an interesting tour around the market, we went to see Incense, and Hats being made, and then went to a nunnary, where they served us a lovely meal. Would definitely recommend this tour. .

Very nice...but the cycling rout was not very scenic. The boat ride was lovely. The lunch served was terrible. i only ate a couple of bananas.
Doing what: Small-Group Vietnamese Countryside Tour by Bike and Boat from Hanoi
This is a must for anyone visiting Hanoi. We were taken down streets and to food stalls we would not have otherwise found and all the time our Guide was telling us about the history of the city, the markets and the food. We tried many different types of food, all delicious and all included in the price. It was a great way to spend a couple of hours and taught us much about the foods of Vietnam.
Doing what: Hanoi Street Food Walking Tour
Lots of walking, perhaps a little too much. Good food stops, perhaps a little more food and a better English speaking guy would have made the tour better. However, worth doing to get a feel of the street food and where to go!

Like a lot of Vietnam tours booked before arrival, this seems very expensive for what it was. Uncle Ho's mausoleum was shut, we saw his house (worth seeing) and a few temples. Nice lunch included but really not that interesting or value for money.

This tour was informative, fun and offered an array of tasty foods to sample. The tour guide revealed neighborhoods and foods that the traveller might not have otherwise discovered. All foods were prepared in a hygenic manner. My wife and I had a great time!

This is a great introduction to Hanoi. I ate at places I wouldn't normally try, the food was all fresh and hot. It would have been good to do something similar in Ho Chi Minh if it had been available.

We booked this tour during the off season and were thus the only couple on the cruise. The crew were very attentive and the food was fantastic. Our guide was great and did a great job of informing us and answering all our questions. Being the only couple on board, we truly felt like we were living in the lap of luxury! The crew accomodated my husband's wishes to swim off the boat with him and I'm glad they did because he ended up getting stung by a jellyfish and they were right there with him. It was obvious the crew was very professional and upon comparing stories with other couples, I'm glad we booked through Viator. And it was always evident in the condition of the boats.

The pick up was spot on for time, the english speaking tour guide was well informed and gave us lots of historical info, the visit to the Ho Chi Minh Complex and Ho Chi Minh's mausoleum was great and gave you a real feel for the importance of Ho Chi Minh as a historical person and the importance he has for the country.
Tour The Temple of Literature and Museum of Ethnology gave a good insight into the people and history of the country this is a must to understand the various stages the country has gone through. The Vietnamese lunch was in a fairly decent relaxed restaurant and the food was an interesting introduction to Vietnamese food. The cycle ride through Hanoi's historic Old Quarter was a little too sedate for our 16 and 20 year olds but was a relaxed way to see the real city life as you pass along the streets.

Great our. Guide was lovely and so were the other people on the boat. We were given a room with a balcony which was so lovely. It was quite rushed and when we wanted to swim we were not allowed so as long as you can just go with the flow then this tou was great!

Tour comprise of Lacquer Painting, Ceramic Village and Silk Village Tour with lunch inclusive. Charged 106US$. We went on a 46 degree celsius humid day. Lacquer painting visit was interesting, process and explanation was fine. Ceramic Village was chaos. Arrived at noon to find out that the original schedule factory was CLOSED due to family anniversary. Guide then said there are others to look in same village so we follow her to walk. We walk, walk and walk under 46 heat and I nearly got heat stroke. We were not inform how long we have to walk to the next factory. In the end, took us 15 minutes+ to arrive and I can hardly breathe when you have sweat like running showers for so long. Pretty disappointing to find out that all moulds are by machinery now, only hand craft we can see is add on paint works. After visit and shop at market, we were brought to a local style home restaurant which smell of FAECES. Is so unbearable that we have to leave and head back to city for lunch. We were expected to head to a small decent restaurant where we can have Pho etc. BUT we were taken to FOOD COURT where your shoes stick to greasy floor and smell of grease... Afternoon we head to silk factory but NO ONE was there because of their lunch hours. Again, all by machine now so we can only see different machines with different patterns and NO hand craft business whatsoever. the village is basically shops and NOTHING to see.
So conclusion is IF you are looking for genuine local hand make art and craft procedures review, sorry, this is NOT for you. If you are looking for shopping only, yes, there are plenty of shops to shop till you drop.

Best thing we did in Hanoi! The food was devine and San the guide was so full of knowledge. We ate in 5 different places starting with the traditional pork paste baguette from a vendor outside the Market! We would never had tried the street food if we had not done this tour! We ended up on a gorgeous roof top garden for the egg coffee - yum yum. We also saw another side to Hanoi including walking down the railway line and getting some insight to how people live and work in the Old Quarter!! You will not be disappointed!! Thanks San!

We started with a quick look at the food market and then stopped four times for different food in local establishments. It was a delightful experience and there were no ill effects that followed. We recommend this street food walking tour starting at 5 pm and lasting about 2 hours.

Absolutely a fantastic boat. Delicious lunches and dinners. Extensive seafood spread. Very clean amenities and overall was a great treat.
Ha long Bay is amazing and cannot be put into words. It's a must see! Very eager staff, very friendly. You go kayaking, it leaves you speechless. I would have enjoyed more time doing that. Exploring the caves and getting to swim at the man made beach was a nice boat ride away. Climbed up a windy rock staircase to see an overhead view of the bay. Great views. The waters were calm while on the boat. I enjoyed chatting with one of the women you will see selling items on small row boats while in the bay. Booked through Lonely Planet. We were on the boat only 1 night and would have defiantly booked for 2 nights had of we known how much we were enjoying ourselves. Two thumbs up.

Lovely! From Callie of Bowling Green, Ohio on 5/10/2013.
I love having red hair, but as any faux red-head knows, it fades quickly and is really hard to maintain.I use a permanent burgundy as my 'base' color and it is what I touch up my roots with...However, after about a month, I'm not quite ready to do my roots, but my red will start to blend in with my natural brownish/blondish color. That's where Special Effects comes in!I use 'Blood Red' and I mix 2 parts conditioner with 1 part dye when I go over my hair (I have REALLY long hair, so I mix it this way in order to stretch my money). I then cover it with a shower cap and leave it on for a minimum of 4 hours, but preferably 6-8. It rejuvenates the color and looks beautiful! I keep my body clean, but only wash my hair 1-2 times a week. I can stretch my color another month this way and feel awesome...Though I'm sure it would last longer if I didn't mix it with conditioner and/or bleached my hair.The reason I give it 4 stars instead of five is that it can stain the scalp REALLY well if you let it sit there. I often have to attack my scalp with Q-Tips to remove it. This dye will (like most punky colors) also bleed every time you shower...So I do fear getting caught in a downpour outside some day (let's just pray I'm not wear a white shirt at the time).
How many? From Alex of Brno, Czech Republic on 1/14/2013.
Hi, please how many packs of color and bleach do I need if I have long hair? (till the middle of my back)..is 2 colors and one bleach kit enough?thanks
Simply AWESOME From Anonymous of Arendal, Norway on 9/9/2012.
I bought Purple Smoke and Cupcake pink,and I LOVE them!! I've gotten lots of compliments on the colours too :) I'm now gonna buy Hi Octane Orange and Limelight,and I'm sure they are awesome too :) My hair is brown btw,so I had to bleach it first to get the proper colour :)
Yay! From Anonymous of Washington, D.C., District of Columbia on 11/7/2011.
This stuff has always worked well for me. Of course it doesn't work well on non-bleached hair. The cuticle of the hair strand isn't open and the hair might have too much natural or darker pigment for the dye not to show. This is a demi-permanent dye and it essentially stains the hair. It will only stick to hair that has been lightened and/or bleached. For hair that is extra fried from bleaching, it will not stay as long.
Blood Red From Anonymous of Hobart, Australia on 7/11/2010.
I loved the colour but it kept rubbing off my hair onto clothing for over a week after dying and staining my shower when I washed by hair. Not convenient to use at all.

If the government officials and the minister of religion would first eduacte themselves on what they blame ahmadis for they would know for certain that Ahmadis do believe The Holy Prophet Muhammad (may peace and blessings of Allah be upon Him) to be the last Prophet of God. They believe Mirza Ghulam Ahmad to be the promissed messiah. A messiah that has been awaited by all, who would continue Islam on it's right path with the same Quran and the same Kalima. The promissed Messiah has not created a new religion but is continuing Islam the way it is written in the Holy Quran. The persecution of Ahmadis should be prevented as it is against the teachings of the Holy Quran. As Muslims should know!
If this is the case then there has to be a hidden agenda for doing all this. It is quite clear that Govt is acting on the behlaf of charlatan organizations like JI which has disquised itself under the cover of Islam and it always brought bad name to Islam. All terror and voilent acts committed these days under the name of Islam leads to Jamah Islamiah. I wonder why Govt is so soft on the people whose relegion is to kill and bomb others. Far from the actual teachings of Islam. To me, if some organization has to be banned, it should be the JI.
Before imposing any ban on Ahmadiyya on the basis that they beleive a prophet after Muhammad, MUI must declare publicly deny the fundamental tenents of Islam that:
1. There will be no Promised Messiah in Islam as foretold by Prophet Muhammad himslef, and all those traditions of Muhammad relating Promised Messieh and Jesus are forged.
2. There will be no Jesus Coming to save the world, and if he does, he will not be a prophet. He will be downgraded to the level of a 'Teacher' only. Else, all traditions and understandings on the coming of Jesus in Ummah are void.
Will they dare to do that? I am afraid not. Because, the proposed ban on Ahmadiyya is politically motivated and has got nothing to do with the religion.

The Montgolfier Brothers were named Joseph and Jacques. The sons of a paper bag manufactuer at Annonay, France,
when playing with inverted paper bags over an open fire, found that the bags rose to the ceiling. This led them to
experiment further with larger bags
made of other silk and linen. On December 14, 1782 they succeded in an outdoor launch of a silk bag, which reached an altitude
of 250 meters. This was their first true balloon. On June 5, 1783 as a first public demonstration, they sent up at Annonay, a
linen bag inflated with hot air. Its flight covered 2 km. and lasted 10 min. Only one of the brothers
ever flew himself in a balloon, and only once.

Intrapartum prediction of macrosomia: accuracy of abdominal circumference estimation. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 11223705 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the accuracy of abdominal circumference (AC) estimation of macrosomia early in labor and whether a cutoff value could be detected. DESIGN: A prospective clinical trial. SETTING: The Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Cairo University. PARTICIPANTS: One hundred pregnant females presenting in early labor with clinical impression of macrosomia were examined by ultrasound, and those babies with abdominal circumference more or equal to 35 cm were recruited for the study. INTERVENTIONS: Every woman was considered as her own control, and fetal weight was calculated using the formula of Shepard et al. The accuracy of abdominal circumference in prediction of macrosomia was evaluated using the Receiver operating characteristic curve. RESULTS: A cutoff value of AC > or =37 cm was found to have a sensitivity of 77%, a specificity of 75%, a positive likelihood ratio of 3.1 and a negative likelihood ratio of 0.3. CONCLUSION: Intrapartum ultrasonographic evaluation of abdominal circumference for suspected macrosomic babies in early labor is an easy, practical method that should be adopted in decision making. |

The researchers at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, conducted a study of 56 men during a 3 month weightlifting program.
The men aged 18 to 30 were subjected to a 12-week rigorous, five-day-per-week weightlifting program; the men were divided into three groups and given either two glasses of skim milk, a soy beverage with equivalent amounts of protein and energy, or a carbohydrate beverage after their workouts.
The researchers from the department of Kinesiology's Exercise Metabolism Research Group, led by Stuart Phillips, found that the 'milk drinking' group lost two pounds of fat, the 'carbohydrate beverage' group lost one pound of fat and those drinking soy lost no fat.
The milk drinkers group gained an estimated 40 percent, or 2.5 pounds, more muscle mass than the soy drinkers and milk drinkers gained 63 percent, or 3.3 pounds, more muscle mass than the carbohydrate beverage drinkers.
Professor Phillips says the loss of fat mass was much larger than expected and the research implies that milk helps to gain muscle and lose fat when working out.
Phillips says though milk may be better known for its calcium content in supporting bone health, milk also has nine essential nutrients and the ability to aid muscle growth and also promote body fat loss.
The researchers say milk is the ideal post-workout drink for recreational exercisers and athletes alike.
The study is published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.

HTA in highly specialised medecine - trying to square the circle?
10 years have already passed since SNHTA's establishment. A ceremony with a high-level scientific program including lectures by State Councillor Dr. Carlo Conti and Professors Thierry Carrel, Matthias Egger, Peter Sawicki and Thomas Zeltner will take place on Tuesday, April 28th 2009 from 13.30 - 17.00 at Insel University Hospital in Berne to which you are cordially invited.
Health Technology Assessment / HTA is bridging the gap between the worlds of science and politics and has a long tradition in Switzerland in connection with reimbursement of medical technologies through the Swiss basic health insurance package (Obligatorische Krankenpflegeversicherung / Assurance obligatoire des soins). In times of constantly new and partly better medical technologies and continually rising health care costs collaboration among the different actors in the HTA-process became more and more important. Based on these considerations SNHTA was founded back in 1999 with Coordinating Secretariat at Medical Technology Unit, Directorate Health and Accident Insurance of the Swiss Federal Office of Public Health. It's membership includes today 23 institutions active in the field of HTA.
Persons interested in HTA from academia and science, medical professional associations, as well as from hospitals, authorities, health insurers, consulting firms, manufacturers, institutions, organisations and associations
Free entry:
academic event
Registration Deadline:
April 17th 2009.

« Same-Sex Marriage Costs Obama Same Race Voters |
| Obama decrees some illegals are more illegal than others »
Factory output drops for second time in three monthsEconomists had been wondering if the recent flagging employment numbers were a statistical fluke or signs of a downturn. The latest on industrial output should answer some of those questions. What's amazing is that we have a slowing economy that was already growing at an anemic pace. It's almost comical to read that the economy is "cooling off" - as if it had been roaring along with the economy hitting on all cylinders. The economy is slowing to an amoeba pace compared to the snail's pace we were enjoying earlier in the year. The fact is, we may already be in a recession; all we can do is wait for the downward revisions in GDP to confirm that. |

turning down her own engagement
Written by Aaron
(4/27/2010 1:48 a.m.)
in consequence of the missive, Women had to marry?, penned by kathleen (elder)
JA's engagement was turned down, perhaps in writing both sides of the story she fulfills herself. One way she sees herself as Lizzie, turning down an undesired man, and on the other hand she sees herself a Charlotte accepting a life with a man even if she isn't head over heels for him. For her own ends maybe that was a way for her to work out her own mind. I think we can all agree that we prefer ourselves as Lizzies but in the end how many Charlotte decisions do we make? |

Yet again the British taxpayer is being fleeced to prop up the banking system; the UK government has today announced a package of measures which could cost the taxpayers £500bn ... or around £10,000 for every man, woman and child in the country. BBC News story.
We know this whole thing is a mirage; money is no more than pieces of paper which are worth only the value of the ink printed on them. But would this happen if the government had to do all this in actual gold? I doubt it. For a start there isn't that much gold. As I understand it the capitalisation ratio is generally somewhere in the region of 1:25 to 1:30 (ie. 25-30 times as much money supply as there is real money, aka. gold). If we all wanted to draw our money from the banks we couldn't; there physically isn't even enough paper to do it! It's all electronic bits somewhere.
Notwithstanding that I do seriously wonder what these people are on! What are they doing? Basically they are making an ever increasing mountain of debt to service the debt mountain which already exists! And they can't see it! For instance £250bn will be available to the banks as loan guarantees for lending between banks! So Bank A borrows money from Bank B, with a loan guarantee from the government. Bank A fails and defaults on the loan, so the government pays off Bank B. So here now is a government debt, taken on to service a loan which is probably being used to cover Bank A's debt to Bank C. Is this a sensible way to run a business? Or an economy? Or a country? I don't think so!
Worse ... "Banks will have to increase their capital by at least £25bn and can borrow from the government to do so". Que? Banks need more money, to service their debt. How do they get more money. They borrow it from the government (ie. you and me the taxpayers). Borrowing money to pay off debt. Isn't this how loan sharks operate? Isn't this the whole basis of usury, for which the medieval Jews were so vilified?
Ah good! The FTSE as I write is down around 4%. So the money markets don't entirely believe this either! And neither it appears do the investors in some banks as their shares are down too.
But it's all a mirage. A house of cards built out of mirrors. And I feel sure it will come tumbling down. The only trouble is when it does it will be a whole lot worse than it would have been had the markets been left alone now to sort themselves out. I've been saying for years it's all over-hyped. The FTSE is a con; at best it should never have been above 3000. The end of the world is nigh. But fortunately most of us won't survive to witness it, but it might be an unpleasant end game.

Keith McMillen Instruments - QuNeo
dialecticsineswroteSun, 11 Nov 2012kinda think it looks like someone barfed up a bunch on LEDs...
greenempirewroteFri, 02 Nov 2012it´s cheap and feels like that. pads are ok for that price. sliders and the rest feel more like gimmicks. more toy than tool. why 4.5 points?
mandraquewroteThu, 01 Nov 2012Bullshit. I was going to buy one until I tried it out. This is not good for finger drumming at all. To be worth it, it really needs to be your only controler, and precise drumming be a second priority to you. It is cheap. It does work perfectly for queue points and clip launching. Its a really weird material, you can't really slide your fingers over it perfectly, it has too much grip.
