Surgery at Manila Doctor's Hospital, Manila, Philippines. Hysterectomy. Manila has far more medical care options than anywhere else in the Philippines, by far. Some say the best hospital in Manila is the Philippine General Hospital (PGH). While it's a public charity hospital, many of the most talented physicians in the Philippines practice there, as it's the teaching hospital of the adjacent University of the Philippines Medical School. While PGH does accept private paying patients, the facilities and accommodations will generally be too basic and overcrowded for those who can afford hospitalization at one of the private hospitals. A notable exception is the new University Physicians Medical Center. UPMC allows UP and PGH physicians to provide outpatient services to private patients in a very modern facility. See http://www.upmc.net.ph/ An costs P6,000 or less than $150.
Manila has several upscale hospitals catering to those with the money to pay for them. St. Luke's Medical Center, Makati Medical Center are two. Asian Hospital and The Medical City are the deluxe hospitals where paying patients can get the most deluxe facilities. Many Manila physicians practice at these elite hospitals, but also at more modest hospitals for less affluent or more thrifty patients. Some dedicated doctors teach at UP, treat at PGH and accept affluent patients at one of these elite hospitals. We especially admire those who keep their ties to UP and PGH even when they could have an easier life restricting their practice to the elite hospitals.
Carol was first diagnosed with small uterine cyst and endometrial problems in 2007. By 2010 Carol's uterine cysts had really grown and it was clear that she would have to have surgery. We decided to consult a gynecological oncologist because they can be more experienced with surgery than a general practice ob-gyn. We saw a PGH-trained Iloilo surgeon, Dr. Lora Tupas. She recommended surgery and said that it would cost between P90,000 and P100,000 performed at Iloilo's St. Paul's Hospital. While Dr. Tupas was well-qualified, we went to Manila for a second opinion. We saw Dr. Christine Palma at her The Medical City clinic. She basically agreed with Dr. Tupas. We decided that we'd prefer to have the surgery at a Manila hospital. Dr. Palma said that a uncomplicated hysterectomy would cost about P150,000 at St. Luke's Hospital.
We learned that Makati Medical Center offered an all-inclusive hysterectomy package for P92,000. This seemed a good option — surgery at a top Manila hospital for the same price as surgery in Iloilo. Since the surgeon's fee is capped under the surgical packages, many surgeons will not participate. We were referred to Dr. Jay Famador a gynecological oncologist at Makati Med. During our first visit he suggested that we have a new ultrasound at MMC. We did so and the results really alarmed us, indicating the possibility of a large malignant ovarian tumor. These results were very different from those of prior ultrasound reports. We wanted to have the surgery at Makati Med very soon. Almost simultaneously we received a recommendation of gynecological oncologist Jean Anne Toral and learned that the "semi-private room" which is included in the Makati Med hysterectomy package was really a room in which five patients shared a bathroom. If we wanted better accommodation at Makati Med we would have to switch from being a "package" patient to being a "private" patient. Dr. Famador said we should expect to pay about P200,000 as a private patient at Makati Med. We were also disturbed by the account of an acquaintance at Makati Med. See http://tornandfrayed.typepad.com/tornandfrayed/2008/10/stabbing-in-taguig.html
We met with Dr. Toral at her clinic in a medical office building across from PGH. We both were impressed with her. She said we could have the surgery at the National Kidney and Transplant Institute or at Manila Doctor's Hospital. We decided on Manila Doctor's Hospital (MDH) or MaDocs, http://maniladoctors.com.ph. MDH is supported by the MetroBank Foundation. The objective is to provide excellent care at a price point below that of the elite hospitals. MDH is located quite near PGH and UP College of Medicine. Many UP/PGH physicians provide care to private patients at MDH. Dr. Toral told us that we would spend between P115,000 for a routine total hysterectomy and P130,000 if a malignancy was found. We scheduled the surgery for the following week.
To our great relief, Dr. Toral found no significant ovarian tumor when she operated, rather there was a very large uterine cyst (myoma), and smaller myomas. The surgery turned out to be a fairly routine total hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy ("TAHBSO") – e.g. removal of uterus and ovaries. Because of the pre-surgical ultrasound suggestion of a large, possibly malignant ovarian tumor, Dr. Toral arranged for a pathologist to perform a "frozen section" histopathology during the surgery. Dr. Toral also asked for a pre surgical CA125+HE4 ovarian cancer biomarker test. The cost of the test was P3,400. After surgery we found out that the Carol's CA125+HE4 results were essentially negative for ovarian cancer. It's unclear why the pre surgical ultrasound report was so far off the mark, but we're grateful that it was.
We appreciate Dr. Toral's skill as a surgeon and her directness, modesty and compassion as a physician. Although the surgery lasted almost four hours, Carol did not require a blood transfusion because she lost only an estimated 700cc of blood. The suturing was nicely done, unlike that of her sister who had similar surgery by another surgeon at St. Luke's in Manila. There have been no complications. We can recommend her without reservation. Her office phone number is 2-567-3908.
The total cost of Carol's hospitalization was as follows:
P60,255.17 to the hospital. This includes six days in a private room, laboratory, medications, operating room and all other expenses.
P3,500 to the pathologist
P61,200 to Dr. Toral
P25,000 to Dr. Christinanette Songco, the anestheologist
Total : P149,955.17. Of this, the Philippine Heath Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth) paid P11,200 to Dr. Toral, perhaps P5,000 to Dr. Songo and P10,255.17 to Manila Doctors Hospital, so PhilHeath paid a total of P26,455. reducing our out-of-pocket expense to P123,500. Since our annual PhilHealth premium is P1,200, PhilHealth is a bargain.
Of course there were other expenses. We paid our Iloilo cardiologist to do the pre-surgical cardiac clearance. There was airfare and the cost of staying in an apartment in Manila for a week after Carol was discharged so that she could have a follow-up appointment with Dr. Toral and recover enough for the flight home. Still, we feel the cost was very reasonable. The lavish Bumrungrad Hospital in Bangkok estimated over $10,000 for diagnosis and treatment. Our cost in Manila was less than a third of that. As is the custom in the Philippines, Bob stayed in Carol's room as her "minder". The hospital supplied a padded bench for the minder to sleep on. The cost of the private room was P2,500. This is the standard room at MDH.
Many hospital costs are linked to the daily room rate. If you have a fancy suite, many of your hospital costs will be more. If you are in a ward, they will be lower, so, while we could have afforded a suite at P4,000+, it would have raised the cost of the hospitalization much more than just the additional price of the fancier room. Anyway, our eighth floor private room was fine, air conditioned, cable TV, refrigerator and private bathroom. Our room had a great view of the city. We received a newspaper every morning and there was hot water and a microwave available at the nurse's station.
Our experience with Manila Doctor's Hospital was a good one. The hospital is very well run. No doctor's orders were overlooked. We never had to remind the staff of anything. We were interviewed to see if we were happy with the housekeeping. The food was surprisingly good. The bill was very detailed and the charges all seemed reasonable. The upscale hospitals such as The Medical City offer better appointed facilities, but we're doubtful that the care will be any better.
Our one beef regarding Carol's care was inadequate post-operative pain medication. This is not the fault of the hospital. It has to do with Philippine paranoia about using opioid medications, even for surgical patients. Post-op Carol was given a NSAID "Arcoxia". It's similar to Celebrex or ibuprofen. Arcoxia is not approved for use in the U.S. because the manufacturer has not been able to convince the FDA that it's effective or safe. Carol suffered due to lack of effective pain control. A few days of opioid pain killers would have been far more effective and safer than the Arcoxia.
A friend who had surgery in Iloilo had exactly the same problem. Post-op he was given Celebrex. It was ineffective at controlling his severe pain. It was not until he got home to Miami that he received proper treatment. Our complaints fell on deaf ears. If one is concerned about post-surgical pain medications, we suggest that you get a hospital pain management specialist as part of the treatment team. Again, this is not a problem with Dr. Toral or Manila Doctor's Hospital but is a well-documented problem with medical care in the Philippines generally. If the Philippines expects medical tourists to be satisfied with their care, this issue should be addressed. See /philippine-pain-management/

Choose your bridesmaids carefully as they will become an integral part of your wedding planning process. Of course it would be lovely to ask all of your best girlfriends, but eight bridesmaids really is one too many! Just remember that you will need to pay for dresses, shoes, accessories, flowers, hair and makeup, which can accumulate to a huge cost. This shouldn't be the main reason why you don't ask someone, but bear it in mind.
Tip 1: Your maid of honour will organise your hen/bachelorette party and be your main helper on your wedding day. Choose carefully!
Depending on how many bridesmaids you have, you may want to make finding the bridesmaids dresses a group effort, or hunt for them alone. Everyone has different tastes and we all come in different shapes and sizes, so finding something to suit everyone can be tricky. I spotted some great dress options before I went shopping with my two bridesmaids, which meant they could pick from a selection that I loved.
Tip 2: Remember it's your wedding. Don't let the bridesmaids pressure you into a dress that you don't like, can't afford or doesn't match you colour scheme. Respectively, make sure that everyone feels happy and comfortable in the dress you choose.
I originally planned to choose red dresses for my bridesmaids, but struggled to find something modern and non traditional. In the end I came across a black and white satin striped number from Ben De Lisi at Debenhams, which the bridesmaids and I loved. I think black was a bit of a risky choice for a bridesmaid dress, but the girls looked gorgeous, and the look was softened by the pink and red bouquets.
Tip 3: Don't dismiss the high street! Look carefully and you can find some great dresses suitable for bridesmaids.

Syrian Refugees Can Help With The Terror
by Big Dog on Sep 14, 2015 at 22:55 Religion of Peace, Terrorism
The Obama regime is looking to bring about 10,000 Syrian refugees to the United States where they will undoubtedly receive lots of taxpayer money so they can have a place to live while they are taught English. They will probably get a place to live and money (all from the taxpayer) and will not become productive members of society.
These people are NOT our problem. It is not our job to take them in. There are plenty of Muslim nations that have lots of room and rich oil sheiks who can foot the bills. These people need to be relocated to other Middle Eastern countries, not into the US.
The pictures of the refugees all lined up is striking in that they are all male. I have yet to see a picture with women or children in it. One would suspect that a people escaping violence would include women and children. There are reports that members of ISIS are in those lines looking to come to the US. We are told not to worry because the regime will vet these folks.
Sure, like it vetted Hillary's email set up?
Al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahri is calling on all Muslims in Western countries, particularly the US, to conduct lone wolf attacks. Isn't it convenient that Obama is helping out by importing Muslim men, many of whom are no doubt terrorists, into the nation so it will be that much easier.
In the view of big government statists nothing would be better than a crippling attack that frightens the population so that it will demand even more government control. Help us please! Please do what you want to us just keep us safe.
Not on my watch. We are Americans and we are forged from steel. If these lone wolf punks start trouble here then they will find out what it means to encounter a well armed citizenry.
Since Obama is hell bent on importing terror to this nation might I suggest (a suggestion I borrowed from my friend Kender) that they be placed in San Francisco, Chicago and Berkeley. I would add that they should be moved into DC and that all Obama voters should be required to take them in.
The defecation is soon going to hit the rotating cooling device and when it does the patriots of this nation will rise up to defend her once again.
I only have one piece of advice for the government.
Stay the hell out of our way.
Over a quarter of a million Muslims allowed in US annually
Cave canem!
Never surrender, never submit.

X-Pro 1 + XF 18mm f/2 + XF 35mm f/1.4 - good deal?
I have the chance to buy a X-Pro 1 + XF 18mm f/2 + XF 35mm f/1.4 + 2 original Fuji batteries batteries for 1200 EUR. The equipment is second hand but is still under warranty (ends in late 2015).
I've never used Fuji cameras before (used to shoot film with an EOS system and sometimes a Leica M3) but I've been following the evolution of Fuji's digital equipment for a while since it seems they have great cameras and lenses. Even tough I'm not a fans of EVFs, the reviews on the XT-1 praise its EVF so much that I was considering this camera in the near future. However, this X-Pro1 opportunity came up and I don't know if I should grab it. I know that the X-Pro2 is around the corner but I'm sure the body only will cost as much, if not more, than this setup.
I mainly do landscape and street photography. I'm also interested in low light photography but I don't shoot low light all that often. I also want to travel light (my back still hurts from my EOS-1V + lenses). I'm not really willing to spend much money in my new gear so the plan was always to buy second hand. Should I wait for the XT-1 to drop price or should I just grab this deal? Do you believe that release of the X-Pro2 will drop prices further? I'm not in a hurry to buy my new gear but if this deal is really good and second hand prices are not to drop any time soon I'll definitely consider it now.
Your opinions are appreciated. Thanks.

Starting the process
Cheers to that authors of the many useful posts I've read in the last couple days! Yesterday I upgraded from an 80's Nikon SLR and a point-and-shoot digital and now am the proud owner of a Oly E-LP1 and I have a Panasonic 20mm lens coming in the mail. Not the most productive work day I've ever had
To business - I have the gear, I know the basics of camera operation, so would you all be so kind as to point me to some resources on how to learn to take better photos? I'm particularly interested in the process, i.e. how do I structure my learning so that I'm effective, as opposed to just taking photos and toggling settings.
To draw a comparison, when I taught myself to play guitar I got a lot more from working on technique than from just repeating a song until it sounded right.
How do you go about doing that with a camera? I'm sure there are good sites online and books (and classes), but I've mostly found specific descriptions of things, such as how you control depth of field. Important and interesting, but not exactly what an aspiring photographer needs.
Thanks much

Evidence Points to Russian Involvement in MH17 Crash, Says Estonian PM ({{commentsTotal}})
Estonian Prime Minister Taavi Rõivas said the separatists already had the advanced Buk missile system at the beginning of the week in which the Malaysia Airlines flight was shot down.
He said on Sunday that besides the unclassified information, Estonia has received information which confirms the aircraft was shot down by the separatists and that Russia played a role.
Rõivas followed up on the reports that the US had detected the launch of a surface-to-air missile shortly before the aircraft dropped off the radar.
"We would not be talking about the deaths of 300 people right now had Ukraine not been pulled into a Russia-initiated and politically and materially supported conflict," he said, adding that Russia must stop all forms of support for the terrorists and allow Ukraine to regain control over its territory.

Paestum was once celebrated by the poets for its roses. Virgil speaks of the biferi rosaria Paesti, and Ovid sings of the tepidi rosaria Paesti, the rose-garden of the twice-blossoming, the sultry Paestum.
[...] The misterious origins of Paestum's roses are lost in time: thought by some to be of a local species, others believe they were an acclimatised variety imported from the Orient. What is certain is that they flowered twice a year and their scent was unrivalled.
Famous for its perfumes, Paestum was also a centre of religious worship, where resins burned on temple altars scenting the air from afar.

TB-ATL Grades: Buccaneers pound interior of Falcons' defense
Here are the top takeaways and highest-graded players from the Buccaneers' 23-20 win over the Falcons.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
– After breaking onto the scene as a rookie, HB Doug Martin (+0.9) has had a couple of down seasons impacted by injury. Lovie Smith will be delighted to have him back healthy, again because his performances this season put him up there with the best in the league at the moment. This was actually his worst-graded game of 2015, which goes to show how consistent he has been. Martin has graded positively in every game so far, and is second in our RB rankings only behind the now-injured Le'Veon Bell. His numbers look mediocre in this contest, with 23 carries for 71 yards, but 54 of his yards came after contact, and he broke an impressive seven tackles. Martin is second amongst running backs with an elusive rating of 77.4, and has the most combined broken tackles, with 38 on the season. Considering the performance of Tampa's interior offensive line (see below), the Buccaneers' running game is a serious threat right now.
– The Buccaneers' intention going into the game was to pound the interior of the Falcons' defense. The strategy was successful, thanks in large part to three excellent performances by each of their interior offensive lineman. Rookie Ali Marpet (+6.5) from Hobart led the way, having one of the more impressive games as a run blocker that we've seen. Marpet's +6.2 grade in the ground game was easily the best on the team, but the contributions of Logan Mankins (+3.0) and Joe Hawley (+1.5) were significant, also. After three poor games to start the season, Mankins is playing a lot better. Hawley, a former Falcon, is also beginning to look more comfortable. With just a hit and two hurries allowed between the trio in pass protection (in 38 snaps each), this proved a fine overall day for the Bucs' interior offensive line.
– DT Gerald McCoy (-0.6) is undoubtedly a talented player, but his production against the run is not where you'd want it to be. Too many times against the Falcons he was pursuing plays up the field, leaving wide lanes for Devonta Freeman. This performance summed up McCoy's season, as he recorded a negative grade in run defense (-2.1), but positive grade as a pass rusher (+1.2). Three hits and two hurries in 46 rushes is good production by McCoy, but that might be to the detriment of his performance against the run. Over the course of the season, McCoy is 40th (out of 45 qualifiers) in run stop percentage, with just five stops in 142 snaps. In contrast he's our seventh overall defensive tackle in pass-rush productivity, where his 11 knockdowns are behind only Geno Atkins. Interior pass rush is essential in today's NFL, but the run game can't be ignored, either.
Top performers:
RG Ali Marpet (+6.5)
LG Logan Mankins (+2.5)
TE Cameron Brate (+1.9)
DE Howard Jones (+1.8)
DT Akeem Spence (+1.2)
SLB Bruce Carter (+1.2)
C Joe Hawley (+1.2)
Atlanta Falcons
– One underrated aspect of the Falcons' offense is FB Patrick DiMarco (+2.5). Fullbacks aren't common in the NFL anymore, which ultimately might give the Falcons an advantage. Modern athletic linebackers aren't used to taking on lead blocks, and DiMarco is probably the best in this facet of the game. He's way out in front of our fullback rankings, with a +10.5 grade on the season. DiMarco's impact came on limited opportunities, too, with five positively graded blocks in just 13 snaps. He may not be the flashiest player but there's value in having a quality FB, which is exactly what DiMarco provides.
– DT Ra'Shede Hageman (-5.1) was having a solid start to his sophomore NFL season—until he came up against the Buccaneers. He managed to record a -4.8 grade in just 23 run defending snaps, mostly due to being blown off the ball with frequency. Hageman is yet to justify the second-round pick invested in him, and performances like this one don't help. When Paul Soliai is uncharacteristically struggling, too, (-3.0 run defense grade) the Falcons are in trouble. He might need to work on his fitness, because he looked a little gassed in overtime. If there is one positive, it was the performance of rookie fifth-round pick Grady Jarrett, who recorded a pair of stops in just six snaps and a +1.7 grade.
– Pass-rushing has proven an issue for the Falcons' defense, as well, this season. The issue is that they require sub-packages to generate pressure. That means there's a cumulative effect when they can't stop the run on early downs. Against Tampa Bay, DE O'Brien Schofield (+0.9 pass rushing grade) and Adrian Clayborn (+1.9 grade) were the most effective at putting heat on the QB. Schofield generated a sack, two hits, and a hurry in 23 snaps, while Clayborn managed two hits and two hurries in 25 snaps. Clayborn's performances, in particular, have been surprising. He never looked this good in Tampa, but now has a +5.9 pass rushing grade on the season with five games above +1.0 in a row. In contrast to the third down specialists, the four starters on the defensive line combined for just a +0.2 grade, with one hit and four hurries in 58 rushes. Vic Beasley had three of those hurries, but also had the most opportunities (24). Surprisingly, it was Soliai who graded out best, with a +0.9 grade on the back of a hit and hurry. It would help the Falcons if their starters could contribute more as pass rushers, but they at least now have a multitude of options for bringing the heat.
Top performers:
LG Andy Levitre (+4.5)
TE Jacob Tamme (+2.5)
FB Patrick DiMarco (+2.5)
DT Adrian Clayborn (+2.0)
WR Julio Jones (+1.7)
CB Robert Alford (+1.7)
DT Grady Jarrett (+1.7)

U.S. energy office investigates UC's $6million charge
The U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Inspector General is investigating whether the University of California improperly charged the federal government $6 million to support a New Mexico foundation that provides scholarships and other aid to teachers and students.
UC spokesman Chris Harrington said the university was guilty of no wrongdoing – "none whatsoever, absolutely not."
The accusations are contained in a draft audit by George Collard, an assistant inspector general. The report says the Energy Department approved UC's proposal in 1997 to establish the nonprofit Los Alamos National Laboratory Foundation, which works with schools and community groups in north New Mexico.
Supervisors look to change public help
LOS ANGELES – County supervisors agreed Tuesday to look into overhauling the way homeless people receive public help after allegations that some hospitals were dumping them on Skid Row.
The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors passed Mike Antonovich's motion ordering the health services, public social services, mental health and sheriff's personnel to report back in 30 days on policies to ensure homeless patients discharged from county-run hospitals have access to social services.
'Most wanted' fugitive arrested
LAS VEGAS – One of the U.S. Marshals Service's most wanted fugitives was arrested Tuesday in Las Vegas.
Authorities say Jody Kenneth Thompson was captured just before 4 p.m. after fleeing an apartment on Las Vegas' east side. Thompson, 25, escaped from the Northern Nevada Correctional Center in August. He was serving 12 consecutive sentences of up to 121/2 years for kidnapping, burglary and robbery with a deadly weapon.

Nearly 600 incidents of theft have been reported since November 2003.

This post, by Joel Friedlander, originally appeared on his The Book Designer site on 12/2/13.
In yesterday's New York Times there was an opinion piece by Gary Gutting, a professor of philosophy at the University of Notre Dame. Here's a quote:
"Even highly gifted and relatively successful writers, artists and musicians generally are not able (to) earn a living from their talents. The very few who become superstars are very well rewarded. But almost all the others—poets, novelists, actors, singers, artists—must either have a partner whose income supports them or a 'day job' to pay the bills. Even writers who are regularly published by major houses or win major prizes cannot always live on their earnings."
— New York Times, The Real Humanities Crisis
You know this is true as well as I do, and it speaks to several larger truths:
◾ the low regard most creative artists who are not "superstars" generally command in our society
◾ the lack of leverage most creatives have in dealing with corporations who license their work
◾ the disempowerment of writers who are not "bestsellers" and who, by and large, are poorly compensated for their work
Stable jobs with dependable income involve helping the wheels of commerce keep turning, or unavoidable occupations like road building and health care.
But try making a living as a poet, a writer of histories, a novelist, a short story writer, a playwright, or any kind of writer whose work isn't essential to making a living, and you better not give up that day job.
We don't need to comment on the values this reality expresses, but we do have to deal with the consequences.
Now, with all the new tools of publishing, we can take a bigger role in our own publishing careers than ever before.
Self-Publishing Today
Talking to authors—and especially authors who have already been published by big traditional publishers—you can see the excitement and anticipation when this subject comes up.

If you listen to the noise of the world, what do you hear?
If I'm honest, I must admit that I'm a reactive person. I react to other people's emotions, their experiences, their situations and I do everything I can to help, usually after the storm has passed. But I often find that if I'd paid attention in the beginning, if I had really listened I could have helped sail around churning black clouds, or at least sail through with less damage. It's not to say I'm being vague and unattached. At least not intentionally.
If I'm honest, I know I should make more of an effort. I should put myself out there and question everything. I should seek answers from the most unlikely places. Throw aside my shield and walk a day in another's shoes. Objectivity is a blessing.
"When you talk, you are only repeating what you already know. If you listen, you may learn something new."
– Dalai Lama
If I'm honest, I must admit that the safe-guards I've thrown up around me have also locked me away. My fear of reaching out has deafened me to the nuances of life. I've wound myself up into this tight ball of self-doubt that screams at me to keep my mouth shut for fear of embarrassment or ridicule.
If I'm honest, I've had an easy life. I know I'm a glass-half-full type of optimist who can generally see the positive in most things. I have a loving family and have been protected from the injustices that many other beings face and it is because of their support, that my safe-guards have remained unchallenged.
"People generally see what they look for, and they hear what they listen for."
– To Kill a Mockingbird
If I'm honest, I can appreciate that everyone has a story. Sometimes that story is not harrowing, but sweet. Sometimes it is about injustice or cruelty or magic. But every story has a point, and you have to listen real hard sometimes to hear it.
I'm going to listen.

Today's challenge is to make a orange, red, and yellow mani. I did a blue, floral, striped sort of mani. I started with a base of blue and striped yellow over it. I mixed red and orange for the roses and finally I added green leaves. I really like how it looks, it reminds me of 50's wallpaper.
Here's the polishes I used:

Glu Mobile (NSDQ: GLUU) reported its second-quarter earnings today, saying that it hit a record-high for revenue of $23.7 million, a 45 percent increase from the year-ago period when it recorded $16.4 million in revenue. However, its net loss widened due to charges mostly associated with its acquisitions of MIG and Superscape. In Q2, it lost $6.6 million, or 23 cents a share, compared to the year-ago period when it lost $898,000, or 3 cents a share. The loss of 23 cents a share was close to the 22 cent loss analysts were expecting. Excluding some items, it reported non-GAAP income of $278,000, or 1 cent a share, a decrease over last year's non-GAAP net income of $730,000 or 2 cents a share, excluded amortization of intangible assets and stock-based compensation charges.
Other highlights:
— Results were driven by sales in parts of Europe, and a better than expected performance in China, but the U.S. market was soft. The second-half will have a strong line-up with new partnerships with Activision (NSDQ: ATVI), Sony (NYSE: SNE) Pictures Television International, Sega and FremantleMedia Enterprises.
— Glu's top ten titles represented about 32 percent of revenue in Q2, compared to about 43 percent of revenue in Q1. The average revenue per top ten title was $752,000, down 14 percent from the the same period last year. New titles released in the second quarter of 2008 included: Mystery Case Files: Agent X, Speed Racer, Wedding Dash, Super Slam Ping Pong and Get Cookin'.
— Glu also announced that Eric Ludwig, SVP of finance and interim CFO, has been appointed chief financial officer.
— Q3 expectations: Revenue is expected to be between $24 million and $24.7 million; net loss is expected to be between $5.9 million and $6.3 million, or 20 to 21 cents a share.

In Zuni religion, marriage is seen as a stage of life, alongside Birth, Coming of Age and Death. Traditionally, the wedding ceremony takes place at night in the bride's house. On the day of the wedding, the groom and his family will arrive at the house where the wedding is to take place. The bride will come in carrying a wedding basket half full of white or blue corn mush. An elder (or a medicine man) will follow carrying a water jug. The elder will pour the water onto the groom's hands, and then the bride will also wash her hands: the significance of this is to clean the body, mind and spirit.
The elder then blesses the basket of mush by sprinkling corn pollen from four directions, symbolising union with the universe. The bride and groom eat the corn mush with their hands to signify two people united in spiritual matrimony. Finally, a traditional meal is served, and greetings, advice and gifts are given.
Here is a video of a couple getting married in the Native American way:

Is there a battle of good vs. evil in Oliver Twist? How do these forces try to shape Oliver?
- print Print
- list Cite
Charles Dickens' second novel, Oliver Twist (1837-39) is the story of the eponymous young orphan boy who reflects the life of poverty of Victorian England. The novel portrays the evils of the 'Poor Houses' of the time and the corruption of the people who work there. It also shows the depths of London's crime with an emphasis on petty robbery and pick pocketing.
The arch villain of the novel, Fagin, also referred to as "The Jew", is characterized as the personification of cruelty and greed . His main goals are to take advantage of and exploit the marginalized people of his community. Oliver, on the contrary, is the complete opposite of Fagin. Innocent, and full of the milk of human kindness, Oliver symbolizes all that is good in society. He hates the thought of stealing, violence, or mistreatment of any sort, and genuinely cares for others around him.
"Oliver Twist" is a story about the battles of good versus evil, with the evil continually trying to corrupt and exploit the good. It portrays the power of Love, Hate, Greed, and Revenge and how each can affect the people involved. The love between Rose and Harry eventually overcomes all the obstacles between them. The hatred that Monks feels for Oliver and the greed he feels towards his inheritance proves to be self destructive. The revenge that Sikes inflicts on Nancy drives him almost insane and results in accidental suicide. Dickens' wide array of true to life characters emphasizes the virtues of sacrifice, compromise, charity, and loyalty. At the end of the novel though the system for the poor is not changed, the good in Dickens' novel outweighs the evil, and the main characters that are part of this good live happily ever after. In real life however the publication of "Oliver Twist" resulted in the government attempting to reform the system of 'Poor Houses.'
Yes, there is. Oliver is an innocent boy who grew up in the work house orphanage. He is sold to an undertaker. Once he is away from him he meets the Artful Dodger. He is a boy who is part of a group of boys who steal for survival. By getting involved with the boys Oliver is placed in a situation where he is expected to commit crimes.
However, when he does try he is caught and finds himself in a world of wealth. The man believes he may be his daughter's child.
Oliver is kidnapped and brought back into the depths of evil. He is has to try and escape so that he can return to the safe home of his benefactor.
Oliver never succumbs to the evils that surround him.
Charles Dickens wrote "Oliver Twist" in an era where the society was corrupted and evil was ruling the world.
Oliver is an orphan who is twisted by both good and evil forces of the society. He is ill treated in the orphanage for the fault of asking for more food to satisfy his hunger. The main symbol of evil and cruelty in the novel is Fagin. He uses innocent children and young people for wrongdoing. Nancy is another representative of the evil and poverty of the society. She is a prostitute who used to be a thief on behalf of Fagin in her childhood. Furhermore, the characters of Bill Sikes and Monks represent the cruelty and evil nature of the society.
The outstanding symbol of kindness and good nature is Oliver Twist. Although he is brought up in a cruel society and is bitterly treated, he manages to remain an innocent, kind boy. However he manages to receive love and kindness from the kind characters of the novel such as Rose Maylie and Mr.Brownlow.
Both evil and good forces shape Oliver's character. Although the cruelty of Fagin requests him to steal, he only wishes to run away from him and die. That implies that Oliver always remained pure despite the society he was living in.

D3 Publisher, producer of millions of units of cheap software for the Japanese PlayStation, isn't waiting for the PS2's declining years to follow suit on a next-gen system. The Simple 2000 series, so called because its products will cost 500 yen more than the well-known Simple 1500 series, will bring cheap, basic games to the PlayStation 2 starting in May.
You may have actually seen some of the Simple 1500 games over here in the states -- Agetec localized several under the A1 Games label. They are most of them basic variations on sports, puzzle, and table-game themes, executed simply and priced accordingly. The Simple 2000 series will be fairly similar. Its first specimen, Simple 2000: The Table Game, will be a collection of, well, table games, such as go, shogi, hanafuda, poker, and the like. Table Game will ship in May, and a great many other games in the series should come shortly thereafter.

text: As defined by Urban Dictionary, a "Bow Head" is a "woman who wears a bow in her hair, who often has an annoyingly perky personality and may be overly interested in things like her sorority". Reminds me of Elle Woods in "Legally Blond" or Shelly in "The Housebunny"! Who doesn't love a perky girl with a big bow in her hair? This headband is especially nice to have in the winter when you want to keep your ears from freezing while maintaining your cute girly style! It knits up super quickly with bulky yarn and large needles (yesssss) and uses less than half of a ball 'o yarn, so why not make a matching headband for your friend while you're at it? Have fun!

Piriform is a software developer who develops popular freeware such as CCleaner, Defraggler, Recuva and Speccy. They constantly update their software. That's great because they're updating their software frequently with several fixes and improvements, but the bad thing is we should download each of those update manually when the new version released. That could be a pain, since we should check for updates manually, and I'm really sure we don't have enough time to do it every time.
The solution comes from CCAuto Updater software which could help you to automatically update CCleaner, Recuva, Defraggler and Speccy when the new version released. With CCAuto Updater, you don't have to check, download and install the new versions. CCAuto Updater will do it for you automatically. You can run CCAuto Updater manually, on schedule or on start up.
CCAuto Updater will update CCleaner, Defraggler, Recuva and Speccy automatically without installing Yahoo Toolbar. Another CCAuto Updater advantage is it could run CCleaner automatically without any UAC based on your scheduled settings. So you can clear your computer cache with CCleaner automatically.
Unfortunately, CCAuto Updater is not compatible with U3 Portable editions. But it's fully compatible with CCleaner, Recuva, Defraggler and Speccy. If you are Piriform software user, I suggest you to install CCAuto Updater to make you update them easier and faster. You can download CCAuto Updater from this link below:

CodePlexProject Hosting for Open Source Software
I have created a storage group with the following:
storage.CreateStoreGroup(SqlAzManSID.NewSqlAzManSid(), name, description, "", GroupType.Basic);
If I then want to edit and change the description how do I call the update method. I tried the following:
IAzManStoreGroup existingStorageGroup = storage.GetStoreGroup(origName);
IAzManStoreGroup existingStorageGroup = storage.GetStoreGroup(origName);
existingStorageGroup.Update(ownerSid, description, GroupType.Basic);
But what on earth is the first parameter the owner Id? I have tried passing existingStorageGroup.SID and that didn't do anything. You have mention something about objectSID before but I have not been able to fine any reference to this.
Pass the SID of the user who is trying to do this update.
So in a web application you might do something like:
IAzManSid mySid = checkAccessHelper.Storage.GetDBUser(System.Web.HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name).CustomSid;
then of course:IAzManStoreGroup existingStorageGroup = storage.GetStoreGroup(origName);
existingStorageGroup.Update(mySid, description, GroupType.Basic);
then of course:IAzManStoreGroup existingStorageGroup = storage.GetStoreGroup(origName);
Adjust for windows auth or whatever.
EnterpriseMonkey - I see you using this a lot - we need to beef up the documentation on this project to make it easier for people to get going. Do you have any opportunity to contribute so code/examples/documents/etc?
Thank you for this. Looking back I had used the users id for both the creation and update but when I noticed it was wrong for the creation as all items had the same sid then I assumed it was also wrong for the update too :-).
Yes I would like to contirbute something when I have time to write it, possibly over Easter. I feel there isn't enough example code as people learn a lot quicker by example than by reading pages of text, also the area around the BizRules is a
little thin on the ground at the moment. Luckily I haven't had to use BizRules so I couldn't contribute code for these. When I started using NetAzMan I had a read of the entire documentation but at the end was no wiser about how to actually
use the application so a colleague had to give me a quick 10 minute demo of it and then it mostly made sense.
Agree 100% with you on the docs. This is a great product, it just needs a FAQ and some more getting started.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this! I love learning about amazing women who live their lives in exceptional and meaningful ways. They are such an inspiration to me.
Sometimes, reviewing the past gives us a clearer picture of the future we hope to forge. Looking around the classrooms and chapels of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, I don't always find women who think like me or have similar aspirations. Though I know other women like me exist among my contemporaries, sometimes, looking to the past is more immediately successful. With the benefit of time and its normalizing effect on once radical ideas, many of the extraordinary things accomplished by women in the early church now seem ordinary. But at the time, they truly were revolutionary. Just within our church, many of its important and lasting programs – including the Relief Society1 and Primary2 – were imagined, organized, and run by the sisters.
One sister, whose gumption, independence, and faith inspire me to move forward with my vision for my contemporaries and myself is Elizabeth Ann Claridge McCune.
Though she is known by Salt Lake's historical markers as the wife of the affluent businessman Alfred William McCune and homemaker of McCune Mansion, there was much more to this wife and mother of nine than a grand house and raising children.
Elizabeth – born on Feb. 19, 1852 in Hemel, Hempstead, England – was one of the early lifelong members of the LDS Church. The same year she was born, her parents were baptized and emigrated to Nephi, Utah, where she spent her childhood. Elizabeth spent her entire life working in some way or another, but the two areas that interested me the most were her work in the community and her work in the LDS Church, somewhat inseparable during 19th Century Utah.
In her childhood, she spun yarn, sewed, knitted, crocheted, and milked cows on the family homestead. As a 15-year-old, her bishop called her to learn the skills to become a telegrapher in Mona, Utah. When she wasn't running the switchboard, the teen was writing her life history – something I find really endearing and inspired. Did she know that more than 150 years later women would look to her life for answers about practicing the LDS faith?
At age 17, Elizabeth's father was called by President Brigham Young to settle Nevada's "Muddy." She left behind her work as a telegraph operator and the comfortable familiarity of central Utah to work alongside the other families called there before learning that this new settlement was over the border of Utah and in Nevada. After learning this news, they left their work and new settlement behind, and she moved her life once more to follow the direction of church leaders. It would be hard for me to sacrifice and work so hard only to find it was a waste of my time and resources, but she seemed to do so with dignity and grace.
After her marriage at age 20, her emigrant husband's business earned him great wealth. She looked on that wealth as a stewardship; money was not the end goal for her. With a house full of children, she opened the luxurious McCune mansion's doors for events throughout the city. In addition to the thousands of dollars she gave to charity – including $500 to save the Young Woman's Journal – she donated the family's house in England to the LDS Church missionary program. She demonstrated this kind of selflessness again and again as she worked on committees throughout Utah, as well as national councils. She was appointed by Governor William Spry as a trustee of the Utah State Agricultural College (later Utah State University) in Logan in 1905, acting as vice president for her last two of 10 years of service there.
Elizabeth, without much formal education, moved boldly through her projects in the community, and it seems she chose them with care. Sometimes, I take the path of least resistance and settle with mediocre or safe projects, rather than those that will make a statement. Seeing what women like Elizabeth accomplished gives me the gumption to immerse myself in meaningful ventures and dialogue.
From 1893 until her death in 1924, Elizabeth served in the temple and led the way in genealogy research. Her work in the temple fulfilled one of the three-fold missions of the church, redeem the dead, but she also worked closely with missionaries to work towards another tenet: proclaim the gospel. While on a trip to Europe in 1897, Elizabeth helped open the way for sister missionaries with her talk in a meeting that helped correct the misunderstandings about Mormon women, who were seen as oppressed and indoctrinated subordinates in their land, church, and marriages."I spoke of my extensive travels in America and in Europe, and said that nowhere had I found women held in such esteem as among the Mormons of Utah," she said3.
"Our husbands are proud of their wives and daughters; they do not consider that they were created solely to wash dishes and tend babies; but they give them every opportunity to attend meetings and lectures and to take up everything which will educate and develop them. Our religion teaches us that the wife stands shoulder to shoulder with the husband."3
Certainly, this is a perspective Mormon women, including myself, are still trying to convey to those inside and outside of the faith.
Later in her life, Elizabeth faced a challenge many contemporary women do: her husband's inactivity in the LDS Church. Independent of her husband's faith and activity, she continued the service that had impassioned her for so long.4 In the over-romanticized and edited stories of the early church that serve only to honor pioneers, it was heartening to learn that she faced a very modern challenge.
Elizabeth serves as a multi-faceted example of the modern Mormon woman. With her resources, she excelled personally, improved her community, and set the way for women – contemporary women like myself – in the church to do the same.

Essays should include your personal narrative on the woman's life and how she inspires you, as well as a brief history of her life. Click here for more information.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this! I love learning about amazing women who live their lives in exceptional and meaningful ways. They are such an inspiration to me.
Thank you for writing about such an inspirational woman. I truly have found strength looking in the past.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I have found so many answers to my modern questions by looking back on the women of the early LDS Church. Their perspective is so interesting (and resonates!) and their strength inspires me to keep asking those questions and putting my faith in the answers I find.
Sorry for my poor English, but I'm still learning.Hmmmm… What I have to say?
This really is what exactly I used to be seeking. . I love the layout where it is carried on this blog Cheers :))
She is my great, great Grandmother.

Golfer Cink to take break after wife Lisa diagnosed with breast cancer
42-year-old golfer Stewart Cink has announced he is taking a break from golf following his wife Lisa's diagnosis with breast cancer
New York: Stewart Cink has announced he is taking a break from golf following his wife Lisa's diagnosis with breast cancer.
The 42-year-old, who pipped veteran Tom Watson to the 2009 Open for the most prestigious of his six PGA Tour wins and has played in five Ryder Cups, made the announcement on Twitter on Tuesday evening.

His statement read: "Last week my wife, Lisa, and I received some unfortunate news. Lisa has been diagnosed with breast cancer - a startling and unexpected revelation for everyone in our family.
"We are still in the process of figuring out exactly what she is fighting, and the uncertainty continues to be very difficult. In order to assist Lisa in meeting this challenge, I will be stepping away from competitive golf until circumstances improve for her. Hopefully that day will come quickly."
Cink wrote alongside the statement: "Since I was 15 years old, @lisacink has been my biggest supporter. It's now time for me to return the favor."

The Average Desk has 400 times more Bacteria than a Toilet Seat
Do you often eat at your home/office desk? You may not want to hear this, but a new study has found that an average desktop has 100 times more bacteria than a kitchen table and 400 times more than the average toilet seat.
The research also found that a whopping 83 per cent of Americans typically eat in their office or cubicle in an effort to save time and money.
American Dietetic Association
According to a new survey by the American Dietetic Association and ConAgra Foods' Home Food Safety programme, a majority of Americans continue to eat lunch (62 per cent) and snack throughout the day (50 per cent) at their desks, while 27 per cent typically find breakfast the first thing on their desktop to-do list. Late nights at the office even leave a small percentage (4 per cent) dining at their desktop for dinner.
"For many people, multitasking through lunch is part of the average workday," said registered dietician and ADA spokesperson Toby Smithson.
"While shorter lunch hours may result in getting more accomplished, they could also be causing workers to log additional sick days, as desktops hide bacteria that can lead to food borne illness," she said.
Food Borne Illness at the Office
In order to reduce the risk of food borne illness, Smithson recommends washing your hands before and after handling food with soap and warm water, and keeping your desk stocked with moist towelettes or hand sanitizer for those times you can't get to the sink.
"A clean desktop and hands are your best defence to avoid food borne illnesses at the office," she says.
According to the Home Food Safety survey, only 36 per cent of respondents clean their work areas—desktop, keyboard, mouse—weekly and 64 per cent do so only once a month or less.
Treat Desktop like your Kitchen
"Treat your desktop like you would your kitchen table and counters at home," says Smithson.
"Clean all surfaces, whether at home or work, before you prepare or eat food on them," she added.
"Desks are really bacteria cafeterias," said Charles Gerba, a microbiologist who's studied dirty desks, in a UA press release several years ago. "They're breakfast buffets, lunch tables and snack bars, as we spend more and more hours at the office."
And wash your hands! The Desktop Dining Survey found only half of Americans say they always wash their hands before eating lunch.
"The key to preventing foodborne illness is food handling from start to finish," Smithson e-mailed Lunch Box. Keep things clean (your hands, eating surfaces, the food), watch the time ("Do not keep foods less than 2 hours outside of proper temperature"), and make sure foods are either kept below 40 degrees fahrenheit and heated above 140 degrees fahrenheit.
Office Microwaves & Refrigerators get Cleaned?
Most workplaces have a refrigerator and microwave available to employees. Some 67 percent say they store their lunch in the refrigerator. Still:
•One in five people say they don't know if it ever (or never) gets cleaned.
•49 percent let perishable food sit out for 3-plus hours. Who cares? It can begin to spoil.
The Desktop Dining Survey was conducted in April 2011 by HealthFocus International and based on a random sample of 2,191 full-time employees who work at a desk. It's the second time the survey was conducted as part of the Home Food Safety program, a collaboration betwee the American Dietetic Association and ConAgra Foods; the previous survey was conducted in 2003.

On July 4, 1776, the thirteen American colonies claimed their independence from England, an event which eventually led to the formation of the United States. Each year on July 4th, also known as Independence Day, Americans celebrate this historic event with the American flags, hot dogs, beer, cannon guns, and 250 million tons of fireworks..
On October 1st, 1960, the 3 Regions of Nigeria gained independence from Great Britain. Each year, on October 1st, the Nigeria's Independence is celebrated both in the capital Abuja and 36 states, with the Presidential speech on television and radio to mark the commencement of Independence Day celebrations. There will be flag raising ceremony to honor the nation, armed forces parades, cultural dances followed by dance troops, singers, and students from all states taking part in the parades. Nigerians celebrate Independence with rice, beef, goat meat and foo-foo .
Unfortunately, in both countries, the USA and Nigeria, violence erupts a few hours after the Independence Day celebration is over. Let us celebrate forthcoming October 1st, 2016 Nigeria's Independent by acquiring the following 12i's as stated below:
First, IGNITE, set fire to, or put a match to a pleasing personality that makes the world turn around and exclaim : "There goes an excellent Nigerian."
Second, IMMERSE, submerge, plunge into, or throw yourself into the study of Nigeria's history, geography, and personalities to ensure you'll pass a test on Nigerian culture with flying colors.
Third, IMPERSONATE, mimic, copy, pretend to be, masquerade as, or pose, or copy the good things you want Nigerians to have or be, because impersonation will turn dreams into reality.
Fourth, IMPRESS. amaze, astonish people where you are such as the 15 Nigerians at Howard University in Wash D.C who had people spellbound by grabbing the highest honors at graduation.
Fifth, IMPROVISE, make do, manage, cope, or fashion a way where there is none, by getting into the deepest recesses of your being to survive because indeed you , being Nigeria, are meant to stay alive.
Sixth, INCLINE, predispose or bring round your 5 senses to absorb instructions from people or environment that would best serve you or others after your footprints fade away.
Seventh, INFLAME, arouse, set afire, stir up , provoke, agitate, ignite as a bomb all the good feelings and pleasurable attitudes that would make Nigeria a good place live harmoniously thereafter.
Eighth, INJECT, insert, bring in, instill, infuse, and introduce goodwill, humor and friendliness in every organization you belong to, rather than division and/or caustic tribalism.
Ninth, INSIST, persist, be adamant, do not take no for an answer, or be firm in honesty or fair dealing in business and social intercourse
Tenth, INTERROGATE, quiz, question, interview, and cross-examine your political leaders to be sure they are carrying out the mandate aright, since it is your money and they are your public servants.
Eleventh, INVENT, create, discover, formulate, originate, or redesign something in America you can carry home to make Nigeria better than you found it.
Finally, Twelfth but not the least, ISOLATE, cut off, segregate, separate, or detach yourself from any unbecoming acts like 419 that would bring shame or embarrassment to Nigeria and Nigerians.

Hi Everyone!
For me, buying a coat is a real investment piece when it comes to Winter. A good coat can last you several years. I think it's good to make sure it is a classic so it will never date and that it goes with everything - even the New Year's eve party dress!
I wanted to share with you ideas of different coats/jackets that I think would be really nice for Winter.
Black goes with everything and looks very sophisticated and classy. A black coat will never look 'dated'.
|L to R: Navy Bound Seam Duffle Coat, Cappotto Coat,Parka.
Again, a navy coat will go with pretty much anything. I think they look like a 'classic', and you can never really go wrong with navy.
I love nude coats as they are super easy to style and I think they look very sophisticated. They also are really easy to wear.
I hope this post has given you some ideas if you are looking for a new winter coat. I decided just to do the more classic colours, but if you like I could do more edgy/trendy looks.
I really hope you enjoyed this post, and thank you as always for reading.

Depression and Carbs: Why Your Cravings May Say More About Your Mood Than Your Self-Control
If winter weather triggers carbohydrate cravings, you're not alone. Many people snack more on carbohydrate-containing foods in winter, sometimes in an unconscious effort to boost their mood, says Judith Wurtman, PhD, a former scientist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and co-author of The Serotonin Power Diet. How can you tell if your seasonal carbohydrate cravings are in the normal range or a possible symptom of winter depression?
BEWARE!! Sugar Causes Wrinkles Too!
By now most of us are aware about the dangers of eating too much sugar. From an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, diabetes and cancer, the list is long and frightening, but can seemingly feel distant at the same time. Interestingly, it is sometimes the vain outcomes that really hammer home a message. Add wrinkles to that list and our ears suddenly perk up. Sugar causes wrinkles too?!
Yes, sugar contributes to wrinkles.
Easy Ways To Drink More Water
There's no shame in setting a New Year's resolution – or at least trying to eat healthier after indulging in a few too many holiday cookies (again, no shame!). We may read that New Year's resolutions are not psychologically, philosophically, psychosomatically, or whatever, the best way to make changes, and failure rate statistics paint a dismal picture. But there's never a bad time to get healthy, so why not now? Continue reading
Wake Up Refreshed and Renewed (Contest Inside Too!)
We tell ourselves every morning when our alarm clock rings,"Just 5 more minutes, 5 more minutes!" We have the best intentions too when we wake up.
Mornings are a time when many of us feel both physically and mentally tired. Our energy levels are not where they are supposed to be...yet. Main causes of sluggish mornings include, lack of sleep, stress, and having too much of the wrong foods.
Natural Sugars and Holiday Treats
The holidays are upon us, and that means lots of holiday parties and get-togethers will be filling our calendars in the weeks to come. There will be plenty of opportunities to connect with family and friends, while indulging in yummy foods and tasty drinks galore. But wait! That means lots of extra sugar too!
Changes in the Brain
Change happens
It's a well-known fact that, with age, our brains change. They not only change in size (unfortunately, they get smaller) but they also change in terms of regular functioning and susceptibility to certain illnesses such as stroke and dementia. Changes in levels of neurotransmitters and levels of hormones generally lead to some form of memory impairment that comes with age.
Obesity: A growing problem in Canada
The obesity rate in Canada has almost tripled in the last 30 years. According to Statistics Canada, last year 53.6% of Canadian adults were overweight or obese, and 20.7% of Canadian youth were overweight or obese.
Breaking Bad Habits Cold Turkey vs. Slow and Steady
When it comes to changing eating habits, some people wonder whether to go for the cold turkey approach, or opt for a slower style. The way you choose to break a bad habit has a lot to do with your personality. Continue reading
Healthy Shopping, Happy Eating
The first step to healthy eating is mastering the art of grocery shopping. Sounds easy enough, right? Lettuce, carrots, milk, eggs… And yet, time and time again we fail at this seemingly-simple task and our overall nutrition suffers as a result.
Too Much of A "Good Thing"
Yes, eating too much sugar can have immediate negative effects on your body – swings in blood sugar levels, headaches, stomach aches, mood swings, weight gain, over-eating, etc… But eating too much sugar over the long term can negatively affect your health for years to come. Continue reading

DAGUPAN CITY – A flowering plant called 'Rosal' will soon be formally adopted as the city's official flower.
A resolution authored by Councilor Jeslito 'Jigs' Seen, chairman of the Committee on Arts, Heritage and Literature of the Sangguniang Panlungsod (SP), is now scheduled for third and final reading following a committee hearing which endorsed the adoption of the same.
In the book "Symbols of the State Republic of the Philippines", 'Rosal' was described as a distinctive white flower recognized as the official flower of Dagupan ever since even in the absence of an ordinance or a resolution recognizing the same.
In lieu of this, Dagupan City History Culture and Arts (DCHCA) chairman Dr. Gonzalo T. Duque called the attention of the city and urged the Sangguniang Panlungsod to pass a resolution or ordinance formally proclaiming 'Rosal' as the city's official flower.
A study shows that 'Rosal' is an antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-cerulein, and antifungal. It contains crocin, amyloid beta peptide immunosuppressive, iridoids geniposide crocetin, genipin and geniposide and is good for diabetes, genipin antiangiogenic activity, pancreatitis protective activity, Alzheimer's disease, acute pancreatitis, and vascular inflammatory inhibition.
As such, every residents of the city is encouraged to plant 'Rosal' in their backyard or in any other available places since this plant is not commonly grown in the city.
Likewise, the city government is encouraged to plant 'Rosal' in every entrance and exit of the city, at the city plaza, in all city parks and arcs of the city.
Duque also proposed that 'Rosal' be used during official functions of the city government as ornament especially when in-season.
He disclosed that 'Rosal' would enhance the foremost objective of DCHCA office in the preservation and promotion of the city's rich cultural heritage. (Joseph C. Bacani/CIO/ Sept. 6, 2016)
The great escape.
