Want to lime, fete, and talk like a Trini? 2017
Monday and Tuesday might be the only two days of the week when Trinis don't lime and party in droves. Maybe. Because whether it's a basic roadside bar with the spirited essentials; a swanky bar and lounge carrying live entertainment, gaming options, or the sports fixture of the hour; or a club to keep you pumping all night — things are seldom, if ever, quiet.
Liming time — hard lime, or soft lime…
So what is "liming", exactly? All it really means is passing time and enjoying yourself, with company, in whatever way you like. Liming is doing anything, anywhere at all, in company and in a way that de-stresses. Americans would say "hanging out". Trinis take this so seriously that they have made this into an art, and a science — so much so that the word even appears in the New Oxford American Dictionary!
Whether you're limin' hard (like partying), or limin' soft (probably chillin' in a bar or lounge), you'll find that each community has its favourite bars and haunts. There are, however, certain epicentres that inspire pub crawls and club-hopping for those with the resources: Woodbrook (especially Ariapita Avenue, or "De Avenue", and nearby One Woodbrook Place); Western Main Road (St James); St Clair; MovieTowne (Port of Spain, Chaguanas, and San Fernando — for movies, food, drinks, live entertainment and more on site); Trincity Mall; Grand Bazaar (Valsayn); and popular haunts in major towns like Arima and San Fernando. You'll also find a range of swanky lounges in the larger hotels around the country (see our Accommodation and Food & dining sections for more.)
The liming epicentres
- Woodbrook & "De Avenue": 51° Lounge; Aria Lounge; Club Royal Caribbean; Coco Lounge; De Nu Pub; Drink! Lounge & Bistro; Hereford's Bar; More Vino; NuvoSera; Smokey and Bunty's; Studio Lounge; and Zanzibar Restaurant
- Around Port of Spain: HAZE; Kaiso Blues Café; Katalyst Night Club; KAVA; Luce Lounge (at the Hilton); Paprika Restaurant & Bar; the Queen's Park Oval; Sails Restaurant & Pub (Chaguaramas); Trotters; the Tzar Nightclub; and Vas Lounge
- Heading east: Sandbaggers (Trincity); and Trevor's Edge (St Augustine)
- Around San Fernando: Hi RPM; Privé Nightclub, Lounge & Bistro; and Space La Nouba.
Ariapita Avenue ("De Avenue") in a nutshell
"De Avenue": the dining and nightlife paradise just outside Port of Spain. On this Woodbrook strip, you'll get everything from fine dining restaurants to casinos, exclusive clubs, trendy bars and pubs, sushi and wine bars, street food vendors, and Creole food establishments — many crowded most nights of the week, with the buzz spilling out onto the sidewalks and into the streets. Settle in at one, or do like many locals, and bar/club-hop the night away!
Mega fetes
Trinis are pretty good at finding reasons to party (fête is the French word for party) — all year round. Public holidays, fund-raisers, Carnival band launches — we can always find an excuse to throw a fete or host a major event, from cooler fetes to large-scale, stadium-filling brams. School and community grounds are often venues, and when things get really big, the action heads for seaside venues like the O2 Arena and Pier 1 (Chaguaramas); parks and community grounds like the Queen's Park Savannah (Port of Spain), Skinner Park in San Fernando, or the Eddie Hart Grounds in Tacarigua; the Queen's Park Oval, Hasely Crawford Stadium, and as well as other sporting arenas across the nation. Sometimes these events feature international headline acts, in addition to local stars.
Liming parlance, par excellence
Talk like a Trini
CNN, MSN Travel and others have ranked the "undulating" Trini accent as among the world's sexiest. "Sex on a pogo stick", in fact. In 2012, CNN Travel listed Trinidad as having the 10th Sexiest Accent in the World (MSN Travel actually had us in the fourth spot!), saying specifically:
For fetishists of oddball sexuality, the Caribbean island of Trinidad offers an undulating, melodic gumbo of pan-African, French, Spanish, Creole and Hindi dialects that, when adapted for English, is sex on a pogo stick…
— CNN Travel
If you feel like carrying some of that sex appeal back home, try mastering some of these Trini words and using them in a sentence:
- Allyuh: all of you
- Awa: or what (eg "All yuh going down de road awa?")
- A-a (or aye aye)! A greeting of surprise and/or delight at seeing someone — or hearing a juicy piece of gossip
- Bacchanal: multi-purpose word covering scandals, fights, or any chaos and confusion (whether pleasurable or not)
- Bad mind: spiteful thoughts about someone else; or determination to beat the odds (and prove a point)
- Bazodee: state of (mostly love-induced) disorientation and confusion
- Dougla: a person of mixed Indian and African descent
- Doux-doux (pronounced doo-doo): sweetheart, darling
- Ent: "Not so?" Used especially for emphasis … ent?
- Hoss (horse): a good friend and riding partner
- Maco: noun and verb — to be nosy, or the person who is!
- Mamaguy: sweet-talk, charm, flatter or wheedle (another noun and verb)
- Mauvais langue: from the French "bad tongue" — to speak ill, spiteful gossip
- Papayo!: exclamation of surprise or delight
- Steups: a sucking of the teeth — the equivalent of rolling one's eyes
- Tabanca: lovesickness, especially after a break-up, or withdrawal after a wonderful experience (like your T&T vacation!) has ended
- Tootoolbay: to be in a stupor, due to an extreme case of tabanca.

Video: Illegal dump operator arrested
A man was taken into custody yesterday for allegedly operating an informal dump at his home on Woodhaven Avenue in St Andrew.
The National Solid Waste Management Authority (NSWMA) said that the man, whose identity was not released, offers garbage removal services and would dump the garbage at his property to avoid paying a fee to use the Riverton disposal site just outside Kingston.
"Acting on intelligence we came here and we saw a resident right at this premises harbouring and storing a number of different types of material — old refrigerators, engine blocks, construction debris, old bed, old mattresses, you name it, every type of material," NSWMA regional operations manager for the parishes of Kingston and St Andrew, St Catherine and St Thomas Adrian Grant told the Observer yesterday.
Grant said that the agency had issued a number of warning notices to the man, including up to two weeks ago, to desist from dumping the waste in the residential community. "The man's motor van that was parked outside the man's home was loaded with additional waste," Grant said he noted when the NSWMA and other agencies arrived at the property approximately 7:30 am yesterday.
When the Observer arrived at the premises shortly before midday, the NSWMA had removed several loads of debris from the property which the agency said was a health hazard.
"So far we have removed eight loads and we are on the ninth one there now and we still have a number of loads inside," Grant said.
Insisting that the State had to act on the complaints, he said yesterday's operation was a multi-agency approach.
"It was a serious health hazard. The people in the community they are very glad with what we are doing because of what was happening," he said.
Some of the residents who watched the clean-up operation from behind their fence were delighted.
"Mi feel good say the place a go look nice and clean again. Nobody no like see the dump," a woman who gave her name only as Jackie said.
Another resident, Carol Nangle, who has been living in the community for more than 30 years, said they are oftentimes verbally abused by the man who was taken into custody.
"He's unapproachable. He uses a lot of bad words and threatening language. I am very happy, is like a win the lotto; I'm elated," Nangle said.

Chocolate Coconut Bon Bons Recipe
A decadent and delicious treat – Chocolate Coconut Bon Bons!
I love and I mean love coconut and chocolate, so naturally if I combined them then it's pretty much my dream treat & dessert. So of course we had to create another recipe with chocolate and coconut and if you want to really go wild and crazy you can top them with you favorite nuts, sprinkles, caramel drizzle, do whatever catches your fancy or leave them as delicious Chocolate Coconut Bon Bons, perfect just by themselves. I will warn you though that you're going to want to double the batch because these will get devoured especially if your friends and family try one. It only takes one bit of these bon bons to get addicted to them!
Chocolate Coconut Bon Bons Recipe
- 1 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
- 14 ounce package shredded coconut
- 1 stick butter (melted, but cooled)
- 2 – 2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 24 ounces chocolate flavored Almond Bark
- 1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
- 1/3 cup pecans or walnuts, chopped very fine for dusting (optional)
- Mix the sweetened condensed milk, shredded coconut and 2 cups of powdered sugar in a large mixing bowl and mix well. I used a stand mixer.
- Add additional powdered sugar if mixture is not thick enough. Mixture should be very thick and if mixing by hand will become hard to stir, but still sticky.
- Optional: Add pecans or walnuts and mix well. If preferred, you can remove half of the batter and set aside to make half with nuts and half without. Or omit nuts entirely!
- Line a cookie sheet with wax or parchment paper.
- Use a spoon to scoop out the dough and roll in your hands to form a ball. Since the dough is sticky, dusting your hands in between each ball with powder sugar will keep it from sticking to your hands.
- Place the bon bons on the prepared cookie sheet. Repeat until all the mixture is used.
- Insert a toothpick into each bon bon and place in freezer for approximately 2 hours.
- When ready to dip, melt the chocolate. I prefer to use a double boiler, as it keeps the chocolate smooth and at the right consistency.
- Remove bon bons from the freezer. Working quickly, hold the toothpick and dip into the melted chocolate. Gently tap the hand holding the toothpick with your other hand to remove excess chocolate. Sit each bon bon back on the wax paper.
- Optional: Dust immediately with finely chopped pecans or walnuts if desired.
- Once bon bons are dipped, and dusted with nuts, set them in the fridge until chocolate is firm.
- Gently remove the toothpicks.
Number of bon bons will be determined by how large the balls are. I did fairly large spoon full sizes to make large candies. Actual preferred size is normally large marble size.
Do not try and skip the freezing step! If not frozen, the bon bons will fall apart when they hit the melted chocolate!
It looks like a lot of steps but we've just broken it down as much as possible for you to follow along. It's a very easy recipe with delicious results. If you get some extra hands on board have a few rolling the coconut mixture. After the coconut bon bons have been in the freezer long enough and you're ready to dip it's great to have an extra set of hands then too but you can totally do this yourself, I did. You just need to get a rhythm going for dipping and setting.
I love coconut with chocolate so much that I'd even consider topping the chocolate with toasted coconut, oh yes I would! You don't need top them with anything as mentioned but you can really have a lot of fun coming up with ideas!
If you haven't already guessed I adore these chocolate coconut bon bons and can eat them any time of the year. You can coordinate for certain occasions like Valentine's Day, add some red sprinkles, or even the white of the coconut flakes on top will do. Easter you have all sorts of options from chocolate to caramel drizzle and more. It's the treat you can make all year long, although your waist might not thank you for it, your tastebuds will love you.
Now who is ready to make a delicious batch (or two or three) of these yummy Chocolate Coconut Bon Bons? Don't forget to check out our other yummy recipes!

Dagupan City – More than a thousand youth from the different parishes of the Archdiocese of Lingayen-Dagupan gathered together for the 15th Archdiocesan Youth Day. The Archdiocesan Youth Day is an annual gathering of the youth of the Archdiocese. The Parish of the Annunciation of the Lord of Bonuan Gueset, Dagupan City hosted this year's celebration and gathering. It was held from 26 –29 April 2010.
"We have set our hope on the living God"
The theme of the celebration was taken from the 1 Tim. 4,10: "We have set our hope on the living God." This was the same theme chosen by Pope Benedict XVI for the 24th World Youth Day. The passage tells us of the great and ultimate source of all our hope: God.
"May the occasion be a reminder that our young people are not only the hope of the nation but the hope of the Church as well," said Fr. Allen O. Romero, the parish priest and Youth Director of the Annunciation of the Lord.
This was reiterated by Fr. Manuel B. delos Santos, Youth Director of Vicariate I, the host vicariate, when he said, "I sometimes come to a conclusion that the world is moving fast towards its doom. But simply looking at the youth of today brings me much inspiration and hope that a better future of life is no a distant reality." He added, " The youth certainly gives us that hope."
Program Highlights
Archbishop Socrates B. Villegas, DD, archbishop of Lingayen-Dagupan, celebrated the opened the 4-day Archdiocesan Youth Day with a Eucharistic Celebration. This was followed by "Gilon-gilon ed Dalan", street dancing on the main streets of Bonuan Gueset accompanied by joyful chants and cheers by the youth-participants. The Annunciation of the Lord Parish youth ministry treated the participants to a free dinner a welcome show on the first night.
Catechesis-Workshops were held on the following days, focused on the WORD and YOUTH. The participants were clustered into five clusters. A Community Journey, a visitation of the youth participants to the 10 communities of Bonuan Gueset and acted out HOPE (Holiness and godliness, Outreached and generosity, Prayer and reliance, Evangelization and obedience).
The Community Service was focused on "Ako sa Halalan", the role of the youth for a HOPEFUL elections. "Kabatanag Bayani" was another community service rendered by the participants to selected communities.
The last night of the Youth Day showcased the talents of the four vicariates as they presented their own creative ways of manifesting their Hopes.
"The Youth Ministry is a gift"
Fr. Manuel S. Bravo, Jr, the Archdiocesan Youth Director, for the past 15 years, said, "The Youth Ministry is a gift – God's generous gift to my priesthood and person." Fr. Bravo would be ending his tenure as Archdiocesan Youth Director with the closing of the AYD 2010. He would be replaced by Rev. Fr. Manuel B. delos Santos.

After owning a Motorola Milestone for a while, despite impressive hardware, Motorola themselves have been very lackadaisical about providing updates – I'm pretty certain we won't be seeing Official Gingerbread on it, even if Froyo comes sometime this year.
This wouldn't bother me too much if it had not been for the locked bootloader. Unlike most other manufacturers, Motorola decided Open Source meant Locked Down and essential farted in the general direction of both owners and developers.
There are workarounds, but they are much more complicated for the layman to carry out than other Android phone manufacturers.
Samsung have recently fell out of favour with me in the netbook department, but now they pull a stunt like this? Sorry Samsung, you've lost me, and to think people have bought your netbooks because of personal recommendations from me!

Nearly half of British voters want to leave the European Union, a new poll from Lord Ashcroft has found.
A total of 20,054 people were questioned — with 47% of British voters stating they want to leave the EU, 38% wanting remain in, and 14% undecided. This result is massively different from other recent polls such as one from ICM which found that 41% of people wanted to leave and 42% wanted to remain in the EU.
The reason the Ashcroft poll puts the leave vote so far ahead is probably because it took a completely different approach to the way it presented the question of whether Britain should leave the EU. Instead of directly asking people if they would vote to leave, it asked people to rate themselves on a scale between zero and 100.
Here is the question itself:
As you may know, the government is committed to holding a referendum on the UK's membership of the
European Union before the end of 2017 – that is, within the next two years. Using a scale from 0 to 100,
please indicate how likely you are to vote one way or the other, where 0 means "I will definitely vote for
the UK to remain a member of the EU, and 100 means "I will definitely vote for the UK to leave the EU",
and 50 means "I am completely undecided". (A number between 0 and 50 means you lean towards
voting for Britain to remain a member, and a number between 50 and 100 means you lean towards
voting for Britain to leave).
And here is how people responded:
What the poll shows is that many people have lightly held opinions on whether Britain should remain in the EU, with only 29% of voters putting themselves firmly at one end of the spectrum. On both sides of the scale, 25% of voters said they could easily be persuaded to change their minds.
More than anything, this huge poll from Ashcroft shows that campaigners for both leaving and staying in the EU have everything to play for as Britain.

I was incredibly lucky to be able to explore the Antarctic aboard Le Lyrial. The luxury of this Expedition cruise was the real 5-star comfort with a personal touch: a truly French way of life. Comfortable staterooms, gastronomic dining and particularly attentive service from the staff all helped guests to enjoy themselves. Not forgetting the professionalism of the naturalist guides both during the conferences on the ship and onshore visits in Zodiac® inflatables in iconic locations in Antarctica and South Georgia. You always know you're totally safe too with PONANT!
Le Lyrial
My favourite moment was opening my stateroom's curtains at 3am to see magnificent pink and purple icebergs after two days spent sailing in the Drake Passage: it was breathtaking, sublime, magical, exceptional! I'm desperate to go back as soon as possible. It was the journey of a lifetime and you, PONANT, were very much a part of this MAGICAL experience! I think about it every day. I still dream about the wildlife and the landscapes I saw.
Le Soléal
Le Boreal is a ship with a close-knit feel - it's easy to make friends with other guests. The captain was omnipresent and developed a close relationship with travellers. I'd also like to acknowledge the great work of the entertainment team, whose presence was noticeable yet discreet. Onboard shows were worthy of a Parisian cabaret. We went on a "music-themed" cruise and the standard of the concerts was exceptionally high. The entire crew was attentive, friendly and always available. And of course, when talking about PONANT, who could forget the French gastronomy aboard, with exquisitely varied meals? Congratulations to all the professionals who made this a unique and unforgettable cruise.
Le Boréal► OUR NORTH AMERICAN CRUISES
I finally got to know the legendary Commander Garcia. Now I understand why other guests are such fans! I met another of PONANT's leading figures when it comes to expeditions: Nicolas Dubreuil. Not forgetting the wildlife either: whales, seals and even narwhals, which are rare. And the beautiful landscapes too: the iceberg river in Ilulissat, the iceberg cemetery in Savissivik, the 7-hour hike to the polar ice cap, the walk to a new glacier in the Sam Ford Fjord and more. And the cherry on the cake: the Northern lights, the night before arriving in Kangerlussuaq. In short, everything was perfect! It couldn't have been better. An incredibly enthusiastic commander, a friendly and fascinating expedition team!
Le Boréal► OUR ARCTIC CRUISES
Extraordinary! Simply magical, thanks in large part to our lovely, good-humoured naturalist guide Serge, who helped us to enjoy an unforgettable trip while sharing his detailed knowledge with us of the local populations and the sites visited, along with dedicated expedition leader José Sarica.
Bravo Ponant!
L'Austral► OUR ASIAN CRUISES
We took a cruise on Le Lyrial this year - what can we say? Fabulous! I've never seen a Commander who was so willing to spend time with guests (Mr Régis Daumesnil), the entire crew (housekeeping, receptionists, bartenders, waiters, etc.), delicious meals, shore visits and a special mention for the dancers (the Dream Team) with whom we've kept in contact because it was our first time with PONANT but it definitely won't be the last! Thanks to everyone.
Le Lyrial► OUR MEDITERRANEAN CRUISES
On our return to France, we would like to say how completely satisfied we were with the smooth running of our PONANT cruise aboard Le Boréal between Argentina and Chile from 3 to 20 March 2017. We loved the comfort and luxury of the ship, the excellent food and drink, the kind behaviour of all the staff, the total proficiency of Commander Garcia and his deputies and the various cultural events.
Le Boréal► OUR LATIN AMERICAN CRUISES
PONANT is a unique cruise concept with high-quality service that is regularly recognised by industry professionals.

I happen to be a room parent for all three of my younger childrens classes(thus the blogging break down) and so for the kindergarten class I had them make these cute little containers of play dough.
I made my favorite playdough recipe found here and made it orange and white and then added the play dough to some of my favorite containers (they come in a pack of 10 and the Dollar Tree).
After the containers were full we made them into either a pumpkin or a mummy depending onthe color so lets start with how to make the mummy.
Mummy Playdough
You Need:
white crepe paper
googly eyes
glue stick
permanent marker optional
To Make
Cut the crepe paper in half lenth wise.
Use the glue stick and put glue all the way around the sided of the container.
Wrap container with crepe paper.
Glue on googly eyes and if wanted add mouth to make it a ghost.
Pumpkin Playdough
You need:
Orange paper cut into circles(I used the largest fiskar circle punch and they fit perfectly into the top)
googly eyes
green and black crayons or markers
To Make;
Glue oramge circle to lid of container.
glue on googly eyes
Draw jack o lantern face
These were fun for the kids to make and they were able to play with the playdough too at the party which is great to keep kiddos busy while their classmates were finishing up!!!

A few lines from my new favourite book, By Katherine Vaz,
Henry was half covered with a sheet, and he was near crying. He said there are two types of people these days, ones who've been spit out the other side of violence and understand what it means to say "never let me go" and those who never think about the need to look for grace.
This is why we close our eyes while kissing: we instantly need to brand certain close ups onto the underside of our eyelids. We need certain portraits to burn and flash whenever we blink when we're alone.
I'd slept in this room with tonio our first night together, never undressing. It was more of a clutching, my astonished inspection of how thin he was, and his embrace of me at first was so ferocious I seemed to be underwater and breaething through a straw that pierced the surface. There was a package of condoms near expiration left over from a love affair i broke into fragments over, but when I mentioned them, Tonio said, I don't like you like that but, if you would not mind holding me. The war in Angola had left him an orphan adrift, one of the earth's totally fucked. I quit my usual anxious wondering what was supposed to happen next, until i had a sense of being pressed whole to the inside of him, and I let that print of myself there for him to carry around , and his physical weight sank inside my ride, where it expanded so he'd stay trapped in the barred cage of my chest.
This book offers one thousand ways to say please don't go. <3

Stelios confirms no-frills mobile outfit
The Danish connection
EasyGroup has confirmed that it plans to team up with Danish telecoms outfit - TDC - to launch a low-price mobile phone outfit in the UK with the option to roll-out the service in a further 12 European countries.
TDC will launch a discount mobile company in the British market using the easy brand later this year, it's been confirmed. At the moment, that brand name could be easyMobile.com although both parties haven't ruled out another possible livery.
According to analysts Strand Consult, easyMobile will be a British copy of the "very successful Danish discount mobile service provider Telmore", which is owned by TDC. Set up in 2001, Telemore kept things simple. It only sold SIM cards (not handsets) and customers bought and paid for their mobile minutes and SMS messages online.
Payments were made via credit card or bank account and customers can only use the available minutes on their accounts.
Said Strand Consult: "The results were tremendous. In just three years Telmore acquired nearly 500,000 customers out of a total market of just 4.7 million mobile customers - a market share of 11 per cent, almost double Virgin Mobile's UK results after 5 years."
According to the experts, Telmore's success is based on low prices and simple tariffs.
Said TDC's president and chief exec, Henning Dyremose: "The advantage of a co-operation between easyGroup and TDC is evident: Telmore's concept is the best one in the market; easyGroup has a good brand in Great Britain and in large parts of Europe; and we at TDC are first in class when it comes to operating a telecom company.
"Getting ten per cent of the Danish population as customers in three and a half years in a market as competitive as the Danish market is clear proof that Telmore's concept is unique. We therefore believe that it is obvious that our concept as well as our know-how can be successfully exported to several other countries," he said.
Stelios Haji-Ioannou, the boss of the easy group of companies, chipped in: "Our aim is to make mobile telephony affordable to everybody. These are the core brand values of the easy brand. I am delighted that I found the best possible partners to launch the easy brand into its twelfth industry in less than ten years."
Easymobile.com - or whatever other name they finally come up with - will be launched later this year. ®

Vietnamese Rice Paper Rolls or Vietnamese Spring Rolls are packed with bright and colourful veggies which are full of flavour and super healthy!
Traditional Vietnamese Rice Paper Rolls are usually made with pork, prawns, (or any kind of protein), rice vermicelli, vegetables and herbs. I've skipped the meat and prepared a vegetarian variation of the dish.
This is one of those recipes that people love but always assume are just too hard to make. You can practice the tuck and roll technique on a few tester rolls and get into a bit of a rhythm before you go ahead with the others!
- Rice Paper Wrappers – 10-15
- Cooked Rice Noodles/Vermicelli – 30 Grams (Optional)
- Carrot (Peeled and Julienned) – 1 Large
- English Cucumber (Julienned) – 1 Large
- Red pepper (Julienned) – 1/2
- Avocado (Sliced) – 1 (Optional)
- Purple Cabbage (Chopped) – 1/3 Cup
- Green Lettuce Leaves – 6-8 Large
- Cilantro – for garnish
- Mint – for garnish
- Basil – for garnish
- Sesame Seeds – for garnish (Optional)
- Fill a large bowl with warm water. Dip one rice paper wrapper at a time into the warm water for 15-20 seconds.
- Take out the rice paper and place it on a clean flat surface.
- Place noodles/vermicelli on the rice paper followed by some vegetables – carrot, cucumber, red pepper, avocado, and cabbage on the bottom of the paper.
- Tear the lettuce leaves into halves, and place 1/2 of a lettuce leaf on top of the vegetables and your desired meat (if using) on it. (Do NOT over-fill!)
- Fold the left and right edges of the rice paper in, then starting from the bottom, roll up to cover the lettuce bundle. Then keep rolling firmly. The rice paper is sticky, it will seal itself.
- After the rolls are formed, cut them in half, and garnish with sesame seeds, mint, cilantro and basil!
You could serve the rolls with a peanut dipping sauce also!
Peanut Dipping Sauce
- Peanut Butter – 3-4 Tablespoons
- Hoisin Sauce – 1 Tablespoon
- Soy Sauce – 1-2 Teaspoons
- Water – as needed
- Garlic Cloves (Crushed) – 4-5
- Sriracha Sauce – 1/2 Teaspoon (Optional)
- Red Chilli Flakes – for garnish
- In a blender, add the peanut butter, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, garlic, sriracha sauce and blend until smooth.
- Add 1-2 tablespoons of water or more to reach your desired consistency.
- Garnish with red chilli flakes and serve!

The use of medicinal marijuana continues to be a hot-button health issue in America. While cannabis has been shown to be effective in treating a variety of conditions ranging from epileptic seizures and digestive disorders to glaucoma and arthritis, questions remain as to whether the herbal remedy is being overprescribed — and more importantly, whether its potential risks outweigh the benefits.
One such case that has sparked controversy and concern involves a mother from Oregon who has refused to stop using medicinal marijuana, even though she is currently breastfeeding.
On the advice of her midwife, the mother in question smoked marijuana throughout her pregnancy to combat nausea and anxiety. Her baby was born eight weeks early and required an incubator to survive; however, it is unclear whether the marijuana triggered the premature birth.
Since the mother refused to comply with her doctor's recommendation to not use marijuana while breastfeeding, she was required to sign a waiver acknowledging the potentially adverse effects it could have on her newborn baby.
"The mom has the right to smoke marijuana, but the child has no say in the matter, and that's what's not right," plastic surgeon Dr. Andrew Ordon says.
Although research on how marijuana may impact a developing baby is limited, pediatrician Dr. Jim Sears explains that the studies that have been conducted show potential links to pre-term labor, low birth weight, developmental delays and cognitive and/or psychiatric disorders later in life. He adds that THC, the primary psychoactive chemical compound in marijuana, tends to concentrate itself in the fatty tissues of women — particularly in the breasts.
"What we do know is [that] THC interferes with the connections that are trying to develop in the cerebral cortex," Dr. Sears explains. "That's the part of the brain that is involved with thinking and memory, and those changes are permanent."
Registered nurse and medical cannabis expert Mary Lynn Mathre has a different opinion on how marijuana affects a developing baby. She explains that the human body naturally has an endogenous cannabinoid system.
"We all have receptors in our brain [and] throughout our body that are waiting for this chemical called a cannabinoid to start chemical processes," she says. "In 1992, we found out that we make a cannabinoid called anandamide. It's present in all female mammals' breast milk. It's essential to the survival of a baby: a cannabinoid, which helps them feed."
Until more studies are conducted on the long-term effects of marijuana exposure in babies, The Doctors stress that expectant mothers and breastfeeding mothers who use the plant medicinally should err on the side of caution.
"When it comes to kids, who have no choice, you are better safe than sorry," ER physician Dr. Travis Stork says. "Anything that a mother could take that could potentially affect either the unborn child or the child who's breastfeeding — I think you take it out of the equation."

This is a strategy that our guild uses...and is close too 100% successful...hope you find it useful.
Things to know before you begin:
Ahazu-Zhagam does barely any damage on his own, his poison cloud and add's are the key to the encounter.
The poison cloud:
If you stand in the poison cloud you will be afflicted with a stacking DoT that does around 300 a tick, stacking up to 900 if I'm not mistaken.
The adds:
Two adds spawn every minute after the pull, no variance. Your raid should have just enough DPS to kill these and do some DPS to the boss before the next wave.
The key to the encounter is to have your tank slowly backing up to avoid the poison cloud but not at a pace that will cause your raid to run out of room. While the tank slowly moves the raids job is to DPS the add waves as they spawn and get 2-3 combos worth of DPS onto the boss inbetween waves. If dealing with the adds are not a problem ranged DPS can stay on the boss at all times.
Things not to do:-Ripping aggro will destroy your attempt. Green gas will spam everywhere and you're better off to wipe immediately to save time.
- Moving your tank too slow. You'll notice when hes doing this as he will start to lose HP at a prodigious rate.
- Moving your tank too fast. You'll run out of room as the mob reaches its last quarter of HP.
- Try to buff up poison invulnerability and eat the cloud.

Life Is Free, Sometimes – Everything "Free" in Business Today
A long time ago not too far away, everything had a price tag because there were not much options available. If something was given away for free, it was more of a privilege than the norm. "Buy One Get One Free" and other big sales promotions were never much of a big deal as life was good, simple and easy.
Today, when something free is offered, everybody goes out of their way to get into the action. A "Big Sale" event is enough reason to change one's daily routine or make a snap decision to drop everything and tell your spouse, "let's go – now!" That's exactly what happened when I spent the day at the Bonifacio High Street commercial area inside The Fort after attending a BCBP fellowship breakfast. My good friend and I hopped from one retail outlet to another window shopping and ended up at Starbucks for more banter before calling it a night. When we left the café at around 7:30 PM, we were surprised to see hundreds of people loitering around the two-block area. I realized they were all waiting for a free view of the scheduled Pyro Olympics. Unfortunately, many of them didn't know that that Saturday's show has already been rescheduled and moved to January 2010 because of the previous Saturday's fireworks competition between China and Germany turning out to be a rainy night and thus spoiled the show.
I'm an ardent fan of anything free. In fact, my moniker for this is "free, fast and forever" – the three F's of things that are must haves for anything that being offered for free. When "free" fails the two remaining F's, it's not enticing to continue the service.
However, some things will never come for free. There was a long go internet site that offered free phone calls to any US number (I couldn't put my finger in it but it started with the letter "S") but eventually stopped giving its service for free because (probably) of the cost of providing it for free was just too much. So, in the spirit of "free," I've compiled a short list of things I use for my business matters that's "free, fast and (hopefully) forever."
Skype – still the best free PC-to-PC voice service
Skype is the best peer-to-peer voice platform using the internet that's been around for free and has maintained the quality of service I expect a voice provider to do. Yahoo Messenger et al also provides the same service but their voice quality isn't as good as Skype. Though I chat with friends, I try not to do this with my North American clients. In fact, many of the latter don't even maintain a chat account because they'd rather speak than type. I would e-mail clients asking for a good date and time to speak to each other using Skype because in my experience, business transactions are done better by talking to each other. Through the e-mail message, I ask my prospective client if he has a Skype account and schedule a date and time to discuss doing business with each other. One thing I will never do is discusss a business opportunity using e-mail, which many Asians like Filipinos try to do. North Americans and Europeans actually prefer talking than writing. Filipinos love doing the reverse; why do you think text messaging is a huge success in the country?
The Inexpensive Philippine Long Distance Telephone Solutions
If your client does not have a Skype account, immediately offer to call him instead – don't even think about asking him to create a Skype account. Please. Also, this is a business opportunity for you so don't make the mistake of assuming he will call you in the Philippines. In today's telecommunications world, it's actually cheaper to call North America from the Philippines than the reverse. There are inexpensive ways I call my North American clients. I can buy a Globe TipIDD card for my Globe landline which gives me 40 minutes of talk time to the US or Canada for 100 Pesos, or the PLDT Budget Card that gives me 30 minutes for 100 Pesos or 60 minutes for 200 Pesos. If I'm not around a landline, I can use my Globe mobile phone and dial 12800, the country code, area code and telephone number, and get charged about 7 to 10 Pesos per minute, half of the regular 20 Pesos per minute cost. You can also buy the popular Magic Jack product that allows you unlimited calls in the US which retails for about 4,000 Pesos. However, before you complain how lousy the service is, remember that the weakest link to an internet-based telephone system is your internet bandwidth. Using a poor DSL connection will definitely make the quality of service bad. In technical terms, traditional VOIP-based services require 64 kbps of simultaneous upload and download speed. DSL connections don't have any bandwidth commitment so even if you have a 2 Mbps DSL connection, it can drop to zero in a second or two, then climb up back to its subscribed speed, drop down and up again. That's why call centers in the Philippines pay thousands of Dollars to subscribe to internet lines that maintain the required simultaneous upload-download speeds.
You can also buy prepaid minutes from a service provider they call a "termination service provider," one who sets up VOIP lines and terminates your VOIP call to a North American telephone number. If you prepay and buy around 2,000 minutes at a high price of $0.03 per minute, that's about 2,760 Pesos worth but valued only at about 1.38 Pesos per minute, still lower than the prepaid card landline providers Globe and PLDT. All you need is to download a freeware called "X-Lite", configure the user ID, password and domain IP address and you're set to call North America at cheap rates. I've used www.globalaccesscomm.com before for this kind of service. I bought 20,000 minutes worth at $0.015 per minute rate. They are located at the 21st floor of Prestige Building along F.Ortigas Jr. Ave. (formerly Emerald Ave.) where you can pay by check or Peso or Dollar cash in person.

In today's wired world, many in business continue to use free e-mail services like Yahoo, G-Mail, Hotmail and the like. That's great for personal e-mails and the like. However, you must professionalize your corporate image by using an e-mail address that depicts your business, e.g. email@example.com. You normally have to buy an e-mail hosting solution that will cost about $50 to $100 a year. I did it the cheaper way but let me explain below.
First, I bought a domain name from GoDaddy.com for about $10 a year – it's cheaper if you purchase the two or three year subscription. I know of only two very popular free e-mail hosting sites that offer hosting your organization's domain for free – that's Hotmail/Live.com and Gmail.com. I'm sure there are hundreds of others out there but I stuck it out with an e-mail hosting site that I'm already used to the graphical user interface ("GUI"). You can use Google Apps Standard Edition (go to http://www.google.com/apps/intl/en/group/index.html) to set up your corporate e-mail account for free, including Google Calendar, Google Docs and Google Site. I can't find the link to Live.com's version but I'm sure the free e-mail hosting feature is still there. If you'd like to use other free e-mail hosting service, that's okay, too. Whichever you use, your e-mail hosting provider should give you easy-to-understand instructions to point your domain's e-mail IP address to the new email hosting platform you're going to use. If what you're reading still sounds too Greek, copy or print all the instructions of your free e-mail hosting provider and call GoDaddy.com. in about 10 minutes, they'll have your domain settings changed and pointed to your free e-mail hosting provider for you. C'mon! 10 minutes of a long-distance telephone call to a US number is peanuts compared to the anxiety of having a domain name you can't even use. Trust me when I say e-mail will not work right away – the tendency is to keep bouncing e-mails between your domain provider and yourself until the former clearly understands what it is you're in need of help for.
Blogging as a Corporate Website
Today's corporate websites now copy the format or actually use free blog sites like Blogger/Blogspot and WordPress. I'm a WordPress user but other blogging sites are just as easy to use. However, WordPress.com also offers their entire blogging software free to download at WordPress.org. This entire software is something you can use and alter when you have your own web hosting space. But start with the free blog hosting site like WordPress.com before attempting to buy a hosting package and use the WordPress.org program. I bought a personal domain name in April and pointed it to my WordPress.com site, i.e. www.company.com points to company.wordpress.com. After six months of using the free WordPress.com blog space and getting a good feel about WordPress and the activity of blogging, it was time for me to buy a hosting package. Before I did, I looked for a free but better looking WordPress theme (like the themes of your mobile phone) that would now professionalize (or personalize) the look and feel of my original blog. I bought a $50 per year hosting package from GoDaddy.com that's WordPress-ready. When I found the free WordPress theme that I liked, I downloaded it into my new WordPress hosting package.
Blogging is now the new method of providing content to web visitors besides media publication or communications companies. Even CNN uses the free WordPress.org program in their website. Now that people are so used to reading blogs, the old-world way of creating a catalog-looking website is passé. Your corporate site now needs to be updated, at least, on a weekly basis; otherwise, people will visit you twice and never return because nothing changed in your site or nothing interesting exists. Content is now king – either you develop your own content or hire the services of other people to develop content for you. You can become an employer at oDesk.com to have freelance content writers bid for your project or get your relative, friend or acquaintance to help – besides hiring someone the traditional way.
Conference Calling the United States for Free
When I need a three-party conference call that involves a North American entity, I always use www.freeconference.com to set up the bridge conference telephone number. This simply means everyone must call a US telephone number, enter the PIN code and start talking to each other. If it involves a Philippine company calling the US number, I always give my two-cents of suggestions on the inexpensive ways to call the US as I described above. Freeconference.com allows you to set up as many participants as you want and up to four hours of talk time without paying a single cent. It also allows you to auto-email all the participants with an attached Outlook-formatted calendar file. Recording the conference used to be free but is now a paid service. However, I don't usually need to record conference calls as all of my telephone meetings are exploratory and discussion-based – writing out my notes using pen and paper has always been easier than being lazy and just recording the conversation. After the telephone meeting, I always create and e-mail everyone an after-conference report to document everything and allow the other participants to review and even add their comments or things that I missed jotting down. I've been using Freeconference.com since 2005.
Here's a realization: most countries' long-distance calling rates to the United States is cheaper than two Third World countries calling each other. So, if I have that situation, it actually becomes more cost-effective to call a U.S. bridge conferencing telephone number, like Freeconference.com, than calling each other long distance. For example, I'm currently dealing with a call center in Guyana. Initially, I started a Freeconference.com US-based telephone number until we became more familiar with each other and relied on Skype in our following conversations.
Online Address Books with Birthday Reminders
For address books, I used to use Plaxo.com because it provided free use of its "export to file" feature; today, you have to pay for that. However, I still rely on it to remind me of birthdays and so I continue to update it every time I receive a new business card. It automatically invites my new contact to check and revise my entries even without forcing my new contact to join Plaxo. This is good because some systems force you to join their online service before allowing you to update or change detailed information. One field that's always there is the birthday field. Birthdays are important for me in business because it is the most important event for a person without having to know his nationality or religion. Remembering someone's birthday is a great relationship-building activity you can do to someone who many not give you business today but may do so in an unforeseen future. A great example is an e-mail acquaintance of mine from Toronto (I'll call him Martin). We met in a Yahoo Group because we both worked for the call center industry in 2002. I kept tabs with him every year when I greeted him on his birthday and we'd continue to exchange a few more e-mails right after greeting him until the conversation dies down and I greet him the following year. Four years later, when I greeted him on his birthday, I also told him I was setting up a call center and wondered if he could help point me to a good campaign. Lo and behold he pointed me to his good friend (who I'll call Cathy) who worked for the largest trade publication company in the world. Because Martin was a good friend of Cathy, she obliged to conference call with me. In the end, I won the hearts of Cathy and her team to be one of the outsourced call centers for their business.
Hotspots as My Office
For some years, I've been a street-side businessman, always out meeting with people, marketing and selling myself and my products or services outside the workplace. Because I'm very much involved in internet-based networking, correspondences and communications, I rely on hotspots to do my business. Though there were enticing options to get a serviced office workstation or e-office, I declined knowing I would probably spend only an hour in the office and get out doing my work in coffee shops that have wi-fi access.
Today, Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf offers the best and notebook-friendly free wi-fi hotspot in Manila. I bought a "Swirl Card" that gives me rewards points plus the WEP key or password to access their wi-fi system. A funny story about Coffee Bean's internet is a recent experience with a prospective client. As a Country Representative of Kunnect.com, I conduct on-the-spot demo of the Software-as-a-Service ("SaaS") besides my traditional presentation. Once, I did this at New World Renaissance Hotel. It had terrible internet with lots of timeouts. When I told the prospect if he wouldn't mind walking to the Coffee Bean branch at Greenbelt 3, he was surprised how fast the internet was at the cafe compared with the hotel. The most quiet branch of Coffee Bean I've been to is at the ground floor of the Greenbelt Residences condominium, right across Greenbelt 2. It's a lot smaller than that of Greenbelt 3 or Robinson's Galleria mall. By the way, all Coffee Bean branches are hotspots.
Besides Coffee Bean, I also choose Blenz, the Canadian coffee shop that only has two branches: at Solaris One Building along dela Rosa street in Makati City and another one at SM Megamall. It's got a good ambience, quiet, not much people so it isn't noisy and lots of electrical outlets in case your laptop runs out of battery power. However, Blenz is not that easy to find as the shop isn't a street-view cafe and not everyone knows where Solaris One building is. It's got free wi-fi with any amount of purchase.
Other hotspots I go to conduct meetings are Chili's in Greenbelt 5, Bubba Gump at Greenbelt 3 (they have an airconditioned smoking area, just like Coffee Bean at the Robinson's Galleria mall) and TGI Fridays at Glorietta 3. Now, here's a tip: Globe DSL has been installing their wi-fi routers to new subscribers, including businesses such as restaurants. The funny thing they do is that the default WEP key or password is "aabbccddee" using the SSID "aztech". So, if you're in an area where you see the same SSID or even "linksys", try to see if they have the same password. Chili's obviously uses Globe because when I asked for the WEP key, the server replied "aabbccddee".
However, when I'm stuck in a place without free wifi, I always have my Globe Visibility USB-based internet dongle (this is the predecessor of the Globe Tattoo). Why did I choose Globe? Well, I usually conduct my meetings in Ayala malls and Globe is an Ayala company; so, naturally, Globe's signal would be far better in Ayala malls than competing products like SmartBro and Sun cellular. If you're the type who always goes to the province, I think SmartBro would be better because Smart's provincial coverage is better than Globe. For someone who's always in a Robinsons mall, go for the Sun Cellular version. For a prepaid internet dongle, it costs about 20 Pesos per hour for internet access that can ideally reach 3 Mbps but about a maximum of 2 Mbps for HSDPA access in a 3G environment.
In Summary
I'm sure there are many other things that you do that would benefit you if some provider offered it for free or at a very reduced price, like text messaging (I used Globe's Immortal Text; for 10 Pesos, I get 50 free text messages to other Globe or Touch Mobile subscribers plus 10 free text messages to people using other networks without an expiration date). But for this literary piece, I'll stick to these basic items I mentioned that continues to be my source of free or inexpensive ways of doing business in our very competitive world. I do hope some of these tips and experiences can help you with your work as it has done with me. If you're using a whole lot more that can help the readers, please share us your tips on "free, fast and forever."

Alright, Fangirls. Yesterday I raved about how pumped I am to be trying out Personail 100% Nail Wraps this past week, and I wasn't kidding. These adorable little nail wraps have taken over my life, and I can't get enough of them. I ordered 3 sets from Personail a couple weeks ago, and got mine in last week. I considered waiting awhile to put them on, but once I checked them out, I couldn't leave them in their packages.
All the way from Australia, these nail wraps have the goal of simplifying the nail portion of your beauty routine. They're basically stickers, that cover your entire nail, instead of polish. It's a rad idea. I was (honestly) incredibly nervous about trying to put these bad boys on. I have shaken hands, especially when it comes to nail polish, and I am not the best at putting things on straight. I've used the imPress Press On Nails several times, and I still can't always get them right. So I ordered these bad babes on a whim, and realized that I didn't think I could put them on.
Here we are, though, 5 days later, and the nail wraps are still going strong. Putting them on was far easier than I thought; you simply remove any polish from your nails, clean and dry your hands, and get to work! Decide which wrap will fit best over each nail ahead of time, then start by taking the clear sticker off of the top of the wrap. After that, you'll want to take the silver backing paper off, and put the wrap (rounded side towards your cuticle) on your nail. What I really found helpful, was that as long as you didn't press the wrap down on your nail, you could remove and readjust the placement of it.
After you've placed each wrap, smooth it down your nail, starting from the cuticle. You don't want to stretch it, but you want to be sure that it's as smooth as possible all over your nail. Otherwise, you'll end up with wrinkles or bubbles, which are kind of weird. Next, you should file the tip of each wrap off, and give it a clear topcoat, to help it last longer. And guess what? That's it!
I'm a big fan of making things easier on myself, and I am terrible at waiting for my nails to dry. I feel like there's always something as soon as I finish painting my nails. So I found these wraps super helpful. It speeds up my nail care days immensely, and makes my life far easier.
When I first put these on, I was worried about them getting ruined with water, or having part of the wrap pull up, get caught in my hair, and rip off. Luckily, that wasn't an issue. Thanks to the top coat of clear polish, these cuties have stayed nice and neat all week (so far). I'm glad they're working so easily. I'm also a big fan of the variety in designs.
Another thing that truly stood out to me, was a part of the packaging. There's a quote, that I fell in love with instantly on each package. It reads "A woman is only vulnerable when her nail polish is drying." It floored me. This company is for women by a woman, and I'm so glad that it exists with such a badass message. I highly recommend Personail Nail Wraps, and encourage anyone who has issues with nail polish chipping or taking too long to dry, check out Personail.

On the morning of the first day, after some introductory theater games, we all read through some of the stories and songs together. There's no audition. We have enough material at different levels to give everyone something challenging and interesting to do. During the kids' lunch break, we pick the stories we will be doing, and cast the roles. After lunch, and throughout the 2nd day, we rehearse – acting, singing and dancing. It's as simple (and challenging) as that!
The morning of the 3rd day, we run the Stories in their proper order 2 or 3 times, and at the end of the afternoon, family and friends get to see the show!

How to Create and Assign Values to PHP Variables
PHP variables can hold numbers or strings of characters. You store information in variables with a single equal sign (=). For instance, the following four PHP statements assign information to variables:
$age = 12; $price = 2.55; $number = -2; $name = "Little Bo Peep";
Notice that the character string is enclosed in quotes, but the numbers are not.
Whenever you put information into a variable that didn't exist before, you create that variable. For instance, suppose you use the following PHP statement:
$firstname = "George";
If this statement is the first time that you've mentioned the variable $firstname, this statement creates the variable and sets it to "George". If you have a previous statement setting $firstname to "Mary", this statement changes the value of $firstname to "George".
You can also remove information from a variable. You might do this in order to clear out information or to initialize the variable. For example, the following statement takes information out of the variable $age:
$age = ";
The variable $age exists but doesn't contain a value. It doesn't mean that $age is set to 0 (zero) because 0 is a value. It means that $age doesn't store any information. It contains a string of length 0.
You can go even further and uncreate the variable by using this statement:
After this statement is executed, the variable $age no longer exists.

Spring and Summer is now finally here. This is the weather where you can actually finally do something! I just had enough with the weather being crappy. Whether you have to wear something less so you can breathe or something warm for the cold. Specially those days where it is cold then suddenly its hot the next day. Like make up your mind earth. But I'm loving the start of my summer. This past week my brother had an amazing birthday party. It was a success and everyone had fun but enough of my story. What i am excited about is what to wear this summer. You all know that pastels, faded colors, neon and other light colors you could find will never ever die in Fashion, Specially this season, Tribal and animal prints are good to have as well. Here are some pieces that i would personally wear or look really nice to wear this summer. The first four photos are from Zara and you all know i love Zara with a passion. Two last floral shirts are by Paul Smith. This is an amazing bleach floral shirt and I'm in love with his spring/summer collection. If i was a millionaire i would buy all his clothes like for real.

In many ways, a good eProcurement
system has the same requirements as a mainline consumer shopping site – great
usability, easy mobile access to your transactions and, most importantly, accurate
searching and filtering. With this
functionality, you can quickly find the items you want, compare them to other
items from other suppliers, and add them to your cart for later checkout or
submit the order.
PeopleSoft eProcurement has focused on these key areas: an intuitive
and configurable user interface, leveraging the latest rendering technology for an optimize mobile experience, and a variety of content management options,
including the ability to search through external supplier catalogs in a marketplace
and return that catalog information to the PeopleSoft search pages.
Content Options
The main content options for catalogs are:
Internal Catalogs – These are catalogs that are stored
locally in the system and can be created internally or uploaded into the system
from a supplier or third party content management system. PeopleSoft provides a
streamlined Catalog Management
product with online error handling specifically to handle this.
Web Catalogs – Commonly called Punchout catalogs,
these are catalogs where a requestor would actually
leave the eProcurement user interface and go to an external supplier website or
to a marketplace to order items. Once the items have been ordered, the
information would be brought back into PeopleSoft eProcurement for review,
budget checking and submission for approval.
External Catalogs – This type of catalog (also known as a 'transparent punchout' or
'distributed search') allows requestors
to search for products on an external supplier site or marketplace without leaving the eProcurement user
interface. The search is executed in the background on the remote site, and
returns a list of matching products to the eProcurement search page where they
can add the item to the cart and continue the ordering process as with other
catalog items.
Marketplace Integration
A marketplace is a central supplier catalog
hub that contains multiple supplier catalogs. It allows customers to outsource
the sometimes tedious task of loading in hundreds of supplier catalogs and
their ongoing changes locally and instead, access the marketplace through a
punchout or transparent punchout. In order to better support the growing trend
of customers using marketplaces (particularly in the Public Sector, Higher
Education and Healthcare sectors), PeopleSoft eProcurement is working with
several partners including Vinimaya and Prodigo to provide 'deep integration' to these marketplaces
so that, with one search from the PeopleSoft eProcurement interface, the marketplace
results will be queried and returned to the PeopleSoft search page.
There are several advantages to this
· Users do not need to punch out of the
PeopleSoft interface to another interface to access their supplier catalog
content, giving the users a more consistent user experience.
· Most marketplaces support 'guided
buying,' allowing for optimized sorting of the search results, for example,
show items on a contract, items in stock or items from green suppliers first in
the sort sequence.
· The filtering capability within
PeopleSoft allows for easy filtering of the results by supplier, manufacturer, item
category and more.
In addition, PeopleSoft eProcurement
has several unique features that other marketplaces do not support, including:
· The ability to display both internal
and external content on one tab for easy comparison, that is, users do not need
to know if items are stored internally or externally, and they can compare the
items and make a decision based on price etc
· The ability to source from stock
items to create a transfer request rather than always creating a purchase order.
· Visibility into associate item /
supplier attributes (such as Green, Sustainable, Minority Owned etc) directly
on the search results and the ability to then filter the item list by these
This deep integration provides a very
compelling user experience when searching for external catalog items.
PeopleSoft Fluid User Interface
is providing an advanced 'fluid' user interface that will allow a consistent
look and feel across mobile devices (smartphones and tablets) and the desktop.
This interface will automatically recognize the form factor of the device
accessing it, and display the transaction that is optimized for that device.
A good example of this is the new PeopleSoft Fluid User Interface Requisition functionality, which allows for entry of a requisition
on a mobile device.
When searching on a
mobile device, the marketplace results (as well as internal catalogs, favorites
etc) will also be displayed.
With PeopleSoft
eProcurement 9.2, usability, mobility and advanced content management combine
for a great user experience.

Creating Tomorrow: clean beauty, tweakment, or both?
Nov 25, 2019 | By Carla Buzasi
Aug 28, 2015
By Theresa Yee
I'm a real sucker for cute make-up packaging. So when this Paul & Joe lipstick landed on my desk, I knew it was an instant winner.
This week's lipstick love is this adorable new lipstick from the brand's fall make-up collection. Café Parisien comes in a pretty candy pink hue stamped with the most adorable cat face in a milky beige tone. Cute, right?!
But, what we love about this product is that the kitten's face doesn't disappear after a couple of applications. Instead, the brand has used a clever Japanese candy-making technique to ensure that the cat is visible all the way down to the bottom of the bullet.
We recommend using the two colours together to create a soft gradient effect on the lip. The light, moisturising texture melts on the mouth like a creamy balm so perfect for dry pouts.

Here are the answers and the review of two latest leaders on the market: Surface Pro 4 and iPad Pro.
