I phone!
So Verizon got the phone...I was ready, however we thought we now have waited this long, why not wait until june and get the I phone 5.
So I just figured I would have to wait forever...that is until phone died last night.
So it just so happens that today was the day the stores started selling the phone at 7 am.
So I had no choice than to go in my jammies at 6:30 am and finally get my phone!
A little sad I won't be getting the l phone 5 but I am so extremely happy that I have it!
Since it is my first smart phone, I was hoping to get some hints on come cool apps. What are your favorites?

Girl, I have an IPos Touch, I couldn't live without it! Here are a few of my favorite apps:
-cardstar: you can keep all those frequent buyer card numbers right there, without carrying around all the cards!
-pageonce:to keep track of bills, accounts, etc.
-yahtzee:because I need to waste time while waiting in line-ha!
I'll be checking back to see what everyone else puts, have fun!

I have verizon, too and was waiting. As a verizon customer we were able to to order one on the 3rd and it came on monday! I'm waiting for the iphone 5 for myself since I'm not eligible for an upgrade until July.
I love Pandora, Facebook, Bejeweled Blitz and the UPS app is great for tracking packages. There are SO many great apps. Angry Birds is fun if you like games.
I also like the Amazon.com app.

I have found my iphone to be fabulous in a pinch with my two year old son. Here are the apps I have found most helpful for him:
-monkey preschool lunchbox
-Duck, Duck, Moose games: Wheels on the Bus, Old Mac Donald, Park Math.
-He also likes Toddler Teasers "Shapes". That one is free. It's basic, but he loves it.
I also really loved playing Plants vs. Zombies. It's really a fun little game, but pretty addicting.

This is a simplified interface to PyImport_ImportModuleEx() below, leaving the globals and locals arguments set to NULL and level set to 0. When the name argument contains a dot (when it specifies a submodule of a package), the fromlist argument is set to the list ['*'] so that the return value is the named module rather than the top-level package containing it as would otherwise be the case. (Unfortunately, this has an additional side effect when name in fact specifies a subpackage instead of a submodule: the submodules specified in the package's __all__ variable are loaded.) Return a new reference to the imported module, or NULL with an exception set on failure. A failing import of a module doesn't leave the module in sys.modules.
This function always uses absolute imports.
This version of PyImport_ImportModule() does not block. It's intended to be used in C functions that import other modules to execute a function. The import may block if another thread holds the import lock. The function PyImport_ImportModuleNoBlock() never blocks. It first tries to fetch the module from sys.modules and falls back to PyImport_ImportModule() unless the lock is held, in which case the function will raise an ImportError.
Import a module. This is best described by referring to the built-in Python function __import__(), as the standard __import__() function calls this function directly.
The return value is a new reference to the imported module or top-level package, or NULL with an exception set on failure. Like for __import__(), the return value when a submodule of a package was requested is normally the top-level package, unless a non-empty fromlist was given.
Failing imports remove incomplete module objects, like with PyImport_ImportModule().
Import a module. This is best described by referring to the built-in Python function __import__(), as the standard __import__() function calls this function directly.
The return value is a new reference to the imported module or top-level package, or NULL with an exception set on failure. Like for __import__(), the return value when a submodule of a package was requested is normally the top-level package, unless a non-empty fromlist was given.
This is a higher-level interface that calls the current "import hook function" (with an explicit level of 0, meaning absolute import). It invokes the __import__() function from the __builtins__ of the current globals. This means that the import is done using whatever import hooks are installed in the current environment.
This function always uses absolute imports.
Reload a module. Return a new reference to the reloaded module, or NULL with an exception set on failure (the module still exists in this case).
Return the module object corresponding to a module name. The name argument may be of the form package.module. First check the modules dictionary if there's one there, and if not, create a new one and insert it in the modules dictionary. Return NULL with an exception set on failure.
This function does not load or import the module; if the module wasn't already loaded, you will get an empty module object. Use PyImport_ImportModule() or one of its variants to import a module. Package structures implied by a dotted name for name are not created if not already present.
Given a module name (possibly of the form package.module) and a code object read from a Python bytecode file or obtained from the built-in function compile(), load the module. Return a new reference to the module object, or NULL with an exception set if an error occurred. name is removed from sys.modules in error cases, even if name was already in sys.modules on entry to PyImport_ExecCodeModule(). Leaving incompletely initialized modules in sys.modules is dangerous, as imports of such modules have no way to know that the module object is an unknown (and probably damaged with respect to the module author's intents) state.
The module's __file__ attribute will be set to the code object's co_filename.
This function will reload the module if it was already imported. See PyImport_ReloadModule() for the intended way to reload a module.
If name points to a dotted name of the form package.module, any package structures not already created will still not be created.
See also PyImport_ExecCodeModuleEx() and PyImport_ExecCodeModuleWithPathnames().
Like PyImport_ExecCodeModule(), but the __file__ attribute of the module object is set to pathname if it is non-NULL.
See also PyImport_ExecCodeModuleWithPathnames().
Like PyImport_ExecCodeModuleEx(), but the __cached__ attribute of the module object is set to cpathname if it is non-NULL. Of the three functions, this is the preferred one to use.
New in version 3.2.
Return the magic number for Python bytecode files (a.k.a. .pyc and .pyo files). The magic number should be present in the first four bytes of the bytecode file, in little-endian byte order.
Return the magic tag string for PEP 3147 format Python bytecode file names.
New in version 3.2.
Return the dictionary used for the module administration (a.k.a. sys.modules). Note that this is a per-interpreter variable.
Return an importer object for a sys.path/pkg.__path__ item path, possibly by fetching it from the sys.path_importer_cache dict. If it wasn't yet cached, traverse sys.path_hooks until a hook is found that can handle the path item. Return None if no hook could; this tells our caller it should fall back to the built-in import mechanism. Cache the result in sys.path_importer_cache. Return a new reference to the importer object.
Initialize the import mechanism. For internal use only.
Empty the module table. For internal use only.
Finalize the import mechanism. For internal use only.
Load a frozen module named name. Return 1 for success, 0 if the module is not found, and -1 with an exception set if the initialization failed. To access the imported module on a successful load, use PyImport_ImportModule(). (Note the misnomer — this function would reload the module if it was already imported.)
This is the structure type definition for frozen module descriptors, as generated by the freeze utility (see Tools/freeze/ in the Python source distribution). Its definition, found in Include/import.h, is:
struct _frozen {
char *name;
unsigned char *code;
int size;
This pointer is initialized to point to an array of struct _frozen records, terminated by one whose members are all NULL or zero. When a frozen module is imported, it is searched in this table. Third-party code could play tricks with this to provide a dynamically created collection of frozen modules.
Add a single module to the existing table of built-in modules. This is a convenience wrapper around PyImport_ExtendInittab(), returning -1 if the table could not be extended. The new module can be imported by the name name, and uses the function initfunc as the initialization function called on the first attempted import. This should be called before Py_Initialize().
Structure describing a single entry in the list of built-in modules. Each of these structures gives the name and initialization function for a module built into the interpreter. Programs which embed Python may use an array of these structures in conjunction with PyImport_ExtendInittab() to provide additional built-in modules. The structure is defined in Include/import.h as:
struct _inittab {
char *name;
PyObject* (*initfunc)(void);
Add a collection of modules to the table of built-in modules. The newtab array must end with a sentinel entry which contains NULL for the name field; failure to provide the sentinel value can result in a memory fault. Returns 0 on success or -1 if insufficient memory could be allocated to extend the internal table. In the event of failure, no modules are added to the internal table. This should be called before Py_Initialize().

This is a list of books which the reader may find useful for better success with Linux/MIPS.
MIPS architecture books
MIPS RISC Architecture
by author Gerry Kane, publisher Prentice Hall, ISBN 0-13-584293-X / ISBN 013584749-4. This book issued in 1998 is the classic book on MIPS literature. Well written but covering the R3000 and the R3000 only and out of print since ages. The second issue has ISBN 0135904722 and extends on the R6000 and R4000 processors but leaves out alot of details.
See MIPS Run
by author Dominic Sweetman, publisher Morgan Kaufmann, ISBN 1-55860-410-3
This is intended as a pretty comprehensive guide to programming MIPS, wherever it's different from programming any other 32-bit CPU. It's the first time anyone has tried to write a readable, and comprehensive, explanation and account of the wide range of MIPS CPUs available. It should be very helpful for anyone programming MIPS who isn't insulated by someone else's operating system. Also, the author is a free-unix enthusiast who subscribes to the Linux/MIPS mailing list!
John Hennessey, father of the MIPS architecture, was kind enough to write in the foreword: "... this book is the best combination of completeness and readability of any book on the MIPS architecture ...";
It includes some context about RISC CPUs, a description of the architecture and instruction set, including the "co-processor 0" instructions used for CPU control; sections on caches, exceptions, memory management, and floating point. There's a detailed assembly language guide, some stuff about porting, and some fairly heavy-duty software examples.
It's 512 pages and costs around $50 in the US, 34£ in the UK.
The MIPS Programmer's Handbook
Authors Farquhar and Bunce, publisher Morgan Kaufmann, ISBN 1-55860-297-6.
A readable introduction to the practice of programming MIPS at the low level, by the author of PMON. Strengths: lots of examples; weakness: leaves out some big pieces of the architecture (such as memory management, floating point and advanced caches) because they didn't feature in the LSI ``embedded products this book was meant to partner.

Number: 111- 45
Date: June 29, 2010
Senate Passes S. 1508
Improper Payments Elimination and Recovery Act of 2010
On June 23, 2010, the Senate passed, by unanimous consent. S. 1508, the "Improper Payments Elimination and Recovery Act of 2010." The Senate amendment made minor changes to the bill so that the bill language would replicate the language of the companion bill, H.R. 3393, which passed the House of Representatives on April 28, 2010. (See Legislative Bulletin 111-42.) The bill was then referred to the House for its action.
The bill includes the following provisions of interest to SSA.
Three-Year Review by Agency Head
- Beginning with the year after enactment, would require the head of each Federal agency to review agency programs and activities every three fiscal years and identify those that may be susceptible to significant improper payments.
- Would set forth risk factors for conducting improper payment reviews, including: (1) whether the program or activity is new to the agency; (2) the volume of payments made; (3) whether payment decisions are made outside of the agency; (4) recent major changes in program funding, authorities, practices, or procedures; (5) the level and quality of personnel training; and (6) significant deficiencies in auditing practices.
Estimates of Improper Payments and Actions to Reduce and Recover Improper Payments
- Would require agency heads to: (1) produce a statistically valid estimate of the improper payments in their agencies; and (2) include such estimates in their annual financial statements.
- Would expand agency reporting requirements with respect to improper payments to require reports on actions to both reduce the number of improper payments and recover improper payments.
OMB Report Requirement and Authorization for Pilot Projects
- Would require the Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to:
(1) report to specified congressional committees in each fiscal year on actions agencies have taken to report on and recover improper payments; and (2) provide guidance to agencies for implementing actions to reduce improper payments and strategies for addressing risks and establishing internal controls. Such report would be due no later than 6 months after enactment.
- Would authorize the Director of OMB to establish one or more pilot programs to test accountability mechanisms to ensure compliance with this Act and eliminate improper payments.
Agency Head to Conduct Recovery Audits
- Would require agency heads to conduct recovery audits for agency programs that expend $1 million or more annually, if such audits would be cost-effective.
- Would allow agencies to retain up to 25 percent of funds recovered from a recovery audit to be used to address improper payments; up to 25 percent for the program's original purpose, and up to 5 percent for the Office of Inspector General. The remainder would be returned to General Revenues or the appropriate trust fund. This provision would apply only to recoveries of overpayments made for years after enactment from discretionary appropriations – e.g., SSA's LAE.
Inspector General Report
- Would require each agency's Inspector General to report each fiscal year on agency compliance with this Act.
Effective Date
- Unless otherwise specified, the provisions of the bill would be effective upon enactment.

Michael Cimarusti's seafood palace on Melrose Avenue in Hollywood earlier this summer celebrated its seventh birthday, a suitably biblical number for a fish restaurant with an excellent pastry kitchen. In those seven years, Providence has neither plateaued nor reversed direction: It has gotten better, kind of a stunning achievement for a restaurant that was worth 2 Michelin stars back when they gave them out in this town. Cimarusti and his crew manage something rare: a combination of technical mastery and playfulness, and a willingness to change things up instead of resting on their considerable laurels. The menu transforms as frequently as the fish swim in and out of their seasonal waters, the staff forages for local greenery, and the plates emerge from the kitchen like small epiphanies. Maybe you can credit it all to the fact that the chef and the general manager like to go fishing out of San Pedro on their few days off. 5955 Melrose Ave., Hlywd. (323) 460-4170, providencela.com.

In this era of gastropubs and fusion bistros, it comes as a welcome relief to enter a place that still calls itself a "chophouse," as does Suzanne Tracht's 11-year-old West Hollywood restaurant, Jar. The moniker is a signal to other beautifully atavistic traits: a maitre d' in a suit and tie, white tablecloths, an iceberg wedge on the menu, a playlist of Sinatra and Armstrong and Nina Simone — and some of the best steaks in Los Angeles. Not only will your dry-aged Kansas City steak or your filet of beef or your prime rib-eye arrive perfectly cooked and presented, it will be served with a little white ceramic boat of sauce like the perfect accessory (a cufflink, a pocket square). The beef is so tender that it hardly needs the lobster béarnaise in the first place, but you are not here for restraint. (Think to yourself: What would Frank do?) Order a martini or two, then the stellar chocolate pudding for dessert. 8225 Beverly Blvd. (323) 655-6566, thejar.com.

Back in 2007, when Judy Ornstein first opened her neighborhood café FOOD, she had a recycling brainstorm: Why not install a plastic, serve-yourself, all-you-can-drink dispenser and fill it with filtered H20, ice cubes and whatever fruity odds and ends she found in the kitchen? Sometimes there are hunks of pineapple sweetly infusing the cold water; other times it's a mind-bendingly thirst-quenching day spa mainstay of cucumber slices and handfuls of fresh mint. Often they go refreshingly tropical with floating orange, lime and lemon slices. Ornstein's light, rejuvenating, bright idea also doubles as an art installation that changes daily: Some have compared the dispenser, sitting in a far corner next to a stack of glasses, to wallpaper in a ladies' restroom circa 1968 or a freeze-frame from a Trix cereal commercial. But we think it recalls a dreamy, zero-gravity fruit salad experiment at NASA — and what's not to like about that? 10571 W. Pico Blvd., W.L.A. (310) 441-7770, food-la.com.

Four dollars for a cup of coffee? Before you spit out your Starbucks, hear us out: There's a revolution going on in the java world that has little to do with the over-barbecued cafe loco you're used to and everything to do with small organic farms in South America that are churning out product with the kind of terroir previously associated only with wine. Now, we're not so sure about hints of chocolate and pomegranate in our perfect, 195-degree cup of Commissary joe, but it is super smooth and low on acid. Props to Intelligentsia Coffee for kickstarting this thing in L.A. But what we like about the 2-year-old Coffee Commissary in West Hollywood is that it's simple, casual and gimmick-free. Nobody's slurping and "cupping" this stuff, and you won't be huffed on if you don't know your Coava from your Victrola. Hot water is swirled over a cone of precious grinds, with the resulting brew transferred to a thick mug. That's it. 801 N. Fairfax Ave., #106, W. Hlywd. (323) 782- 1465, coffeecommissary.com.

On a chic strip of shops near a leafy Sherman Oaks neighborhood filled with film-industry types, Sweet Butter is designed to feel as if you've stumbled into a sidewalk pastry shop in Paris. Fleur de sel caramel brownies, butter-rich croissants, bread pudding with brioche (in coconut-lemon and chocolate versions), cinnamon muffins filled with homemade peach or strawberry jam, plum-lemon bars and savory bacon-cheddar scones are churned out by three in-house pastry chefs. Founder Leslie Danelian, a former food stylist and longtime caterer, keeps the charm factor high but the prices low: Mouth-watering chocolate chip cookies are $2, muffins and scones $2.75. The pastry items rotate, so each day Sweet Butter's glass case is filled with surprises. The French county–style restaurant offers full breakfast and lunch menus, with items such as grilled turkey, fig jam and bleu cheese sandwiches. 13824 Ventura Blvd., Sherman Oaks. (818) 788-2832, sweetbutterkitchen.com.

Opened in 1941, the Polo Lounge at the Beverly Hills Hotel continues to be the most glamorous restaurant in the Los Angeles area. Bar none. (Heck, we saw Warren Beatty there just a few months ago.) Of course, glamour is always difficult to define. For us, it has to do with an elegant, understated style and a kind of worldly sophistication. The Polo Lounge has all these things, plus an extremely attentive waitstaff. L.A.'s true heavy hitters with class — like Beatty — go to the Polo Lounge, and we have a special fondness for the gardenlike outdoor patio, especially at night, with its candlelit ambience. The spice-crusted wild salmon isn't cheap, but you're buying an experience — and one worth having whenever possible. People often go in search of glamour in this town and have a hard time finding it. Look no further. 9641 Sunset Blvd., Beverly Hills. (310) 276-2251, beverlyhillshotel.com/the-polo-lounge.

If you're from Taiwan, stepping into a Four Sea Restaurant will make you feel right at home. They have two locations — one in Hacienda Heights and another in San Gabriel. Rumor has it that they're opening another branch in Irvine. Their success isn't unwarranted. They have one of the largest selections of Taiwanese breakfast items in Los Angeles, and the staff is uniformed and polite. Maybe the English-speaking abilities of some of the servers are lacking, but the efficient ordering process at the counter more than makes up for it. Go for the salty soy milk and sticky rice roll. They produce some of the best variations of the rice rolls, or fan tuan, outside of Taiwan. For those unfamiliar with the dish, it's chewy grains of rice wrapped around pieces of twisted cruller and a perfect balance of shredded dried pork and assorted vegetables. 2020 S. Hacienda Blvd., Hacienda Heights. (626) 330-3088; 708 E. Las Tunas Drive, Ste. A, San Gabriel. (626) 285-8369.

Few doughnuts are worth driving some 30-odd miles to taste (if you're coming from central L.A.) but in the case of the Donut Man, gas up. And not just for the doughnuts' undeniable deliciousness but also their sheer girth. If you've heard of the place, likely you've seen photos of the strawberry doughnut, which oozes a filling of whole, ripe strawberries from a sweet, biscuitlike shell. That's a good one to try, as is the apple, which, unlike most apple fritters, has filling that runneth over much like its strawberry cousin. Best of all, though, is the Tiger Tail, a glazed chocolate and vanilla braid that looks as if they put devil's food and regular batter in a soft-serve ice cream machine and hit "twist." Like many of the other varieties, it's semiridiculously oversized, making the whole doughnut experience at the Donut Man feel like a culinary funhouse. 915 E. Route 66, Glendora. (626) 335-9111, thedonutmanca.com. —Ali Trachta
It's hard to pinpoint what makes pies from Cake Monkey so singularly special, but allow us to ruminate. For one thing, no matter what the spectacular filling is, it's encased in a shatteringly crisp butter crust. It's burnished and bronzed and topped with sanding sugar, which during the course of sampling pies around town we've determined is pretty much the key to nirvana. The fillings are seasonal, ranging from blueberry frangipane in the late summer to cider roasted apple pie in a double cheddar crust in the fall and honey-braised pumpkin tart with homemade toasted marshmallow topping around the holidays. No matter what's in it, this is pie in all its glory. Ask for it with ice cream if you must, but believe us when we say it stands on its own. Available at Umami Burger or by special order from Cake Monkey (cakemonkey.com). 850 S. La Brea Ave., Hlywd. (and other Umami locations). (323) 931-3000, umami.com/umami-burger. —Rachael Narins
The star of Pho Filet, as you may guess, is its filet mignon, which comes as standard in most of the restaurant's bowls of pho. The filet mignon's immensely popular co-star is the pho bac; it's a distinctly gingered affair, with pronounced hits of cloves in each slurp. It is absolutely delicious, although because it is rather strong, a purist may prefer the lighter version over at Pho Huynh's. Good thing, then, that Pho Filet's Southern-style pho is equally superb. Try the pho tai (pho with thin slices of filet mignon) and ask for the meat on the side so you can leisurely add it into your scalding hot, slightly sweet, deeply flavorful broth to cook as you please. It will be a soul-satisfying meal. 9463 E. Garvey Ave., Ste. A, South El Monte. (626) 453-8911 (no website). —Tien Nguyen
At Rivera, you can dial a phone number listed on the menu to hear chef John Sedlar describe some of the dishes. "Most people think of tamales as the embodiment of Mexican cuisine's earthiness," he says in the recording, before launching into an explanation of "Clams Tamalli." The dish is supposed to "join together earth and sea" with its corn masa and chopped clam meat. The tamale is steamed in large clam shells, then served with a French-style butter sauce flavored with green chiles. The other Rivera tamale — a thin rectangle of masa with braised pork short rib inside and mushrooms on top, served on a banana leaf — also could challenge the notion of earthy Mexican food. The masa is fluffy, moist and buttery, almost like a pancake. Rivera serves three different menus, one for each room. If you don't see the tamales on your menu, and you've become a tamale fan by now, do not panic! You can, and should, order them anyway. Visit Sedlar's other restaurant, Playa, for the tamale with filet mignon, wild mushrooms and chipotle béarnaise, or a Thai-inspired version with shrimp, lemongrass and chiles. These are not your abuela's tamales. 1050 S. Flower St., #102, dwntwn. (213) 749-1460, riverarestaurant.com. —Daina Beth Solomon
In New York, rushed pre-theater dinner works this way: You hop out of the Times Square subway stop at 7:40 and grab a hot dog or stale sandwich from whatever cart or Café Europa happens to be on your way. In L.A.'s downtown theater district, however, if you don't know where you're going, you might well starve. Sure, there's the Spotlight Café at the Music Center plaza if you want an overpriced sandwich. But the place to go is its Patina Group sister right next to it, 'Tina Tacos, a stand where, for $8, you get three tacos, with chicken, beef, mushroom or some combination. Throw in a quesadilla or a sangria. Sit in front of the fountain in one of the city's prettiest manmade public spaces and just laugh at the hoity-toity at Pinot Grill across the way. Yes, their lives are more together than yours. They made reservations and got here early. But they're paying 10 times as much for the same view. 'Tina Tacos is luxury for the latecomer. Music Center, 135 N. Grand Ave., dwntwn., on the Hope Street side of the plaza. (213) 972-7525, patinagroup.com.—Zachary Pincus-Roth

Product DetailsIn this hit thriller, a prosecuting attorney-turned-defense lawyer falls in love with a rich, charming client who's been accused of murdering his wife and her maid with a hunting knife. When an unknown assailant gruesomely slays San Francisco newspaper heiress Paige Forrester (Maria Mayenzet), her husband and business partner, Jack Forrester (Jeff Bridges), turns to corporate attorney Teddy Barnes (Glenn Close) for counsel. Teddy, who quit her job with the district attorney's office four years earlier over an ethical dilemma, has reservations about returning to criminal work; nevertheless, she accepts the assignment, convinced of Jack's innocence and eager to face off in court against her old boss, DA Thomas Krasny (Peter Coyote), who's about run for attorney general. With the help of investigator Sam Ransom (Robert Loggia), the recently divorced Teddy builds a strong defense for her client, though the work -- and her incipient romance with Jack -- cause strain in her relationship with her children. When Jack's innocence and his romantic intentions come into question, Teddy feels her life slipping back into a moral quagmire until a series of courtroom denouements set the stage for even bigger surprises.

If you're going to be playing at an online phone casino, then you want to be playing at the best one. The difference between a good and a great online casino is easily noticeable; the difference between a bad and a great one is like night and day. Finding the time to do all the research about which are the best online casinos around is no small task. There's a seemingly never-ending supply of online casinos fighting for your business out there. While it is possible for you to go through each site individually until you find the one you prefer; there is something a lot easier you can do. That is to let someone else do all the hard work for you!
Here we've made it our mission to scout through every online casino in town. Then we filter them out so you'll be able to see where all the best online casinos are. You'll be able to find out about the theme, the style, the bonuses, and the games selection. This won't just save you all the time and hassle…it will also help you come to a better decision on where to play before you even spend a penny! So have a read through of all the best online casino sites we have to offer and we're sure you'll find the place for you!
No deposit online casino sites
Fortunately, we don't just ask you to take our word for it either. What we've done instead is to find all the best no deposit online casinos in town. A no deposit phone casino is a casino which allows players to claim a free bonus to get you started. You don't need to make a deposit and this is a bonus you can turn into a real cash withdrawal as well!
The reason no deposit online casinos offer deals like these is because they believe in their site. They're convinced that you'll enjoy their site so much that once you've made your way through the deposit you'll want to stay for more. While we're sure this will be the case for many of you; if you don't end up liking the no deposit online casino you're on – there's no need for you to stay. This is a no strings attached bonus and once you're done you can happily leave if it's not the place for you.
No deposit online casinos are the perfect casinos for new players to get started on. The reason for this isn't just the fact you have the opportunity to make something out of nothing. It's also because it's a way for you to learn the games in a competitive environment completely free of charge! So if you feel as though you may want to learn a little about the games before you start; then no deposit online casinos sites are the perfect place for you.
Pay by mobile casino sites
Our mission here is to help players find the best sites that the online industry has to offer. For us, this means that they should be pay by mobile phone sites too. The reason for this is pay by mobile casino sites offer one of the easiest and most beneficial ways for players to get their money into a casino.
For this method to work it requires that players own a mobile phone. This mobile phone must either be on a running contract or have enough credit on it to make a deposit. To make a deposit on pay by mobile casino sites; you want to start by clicking the pay by mobile phone option. You then want to follow that up by entering your mobile number along with your deposit amount. Once you've done this you'll then confirm through your mobile phone at which point the deposit amount will appear in your account. This is all there is to the pay by mobile deposit method.
One of the key benefits to pay by mobile casino sites is when you pay. Due to the way it works, you won't have to pay for your deposit until your monthly phone bill is due. This means even if payday hasn't rolled around yet – you'll still be able to make a deposit via the pay by mobile deposit method! This in turn, means you'll be able to play your favourite games wherever you'd like!
What's good about playing at online phone casinos
Now if you've read through the three previous sections here; there's a good chance you have a couple of ideas about what's good about playing at online casinos . However, there may also be a couple of advantages you didn't already know about too. The first thing that's good about playing at online casinos is the fact you get to play from home. There's no travelling time involved with getting to an online casino as they're already there in your home!
Perhaps better than this, however, are the online casino bonuses! What's good about playing at online casinos is just how many bonuses there are for you to claim. While we've already mentioned no deposit casinos to you; they're actually just the start of what's to come in terms of bonuses. The welcome bonuses, in particular, are incredibly rewarding as these can be worth well over £1,000 right from the get-go. The more you're willing to deposit the more you'll get at the start, however even those making a small deposit can see themselves getting their money tripled at the start!
The final thing worth mentioning about what's good about playing at online casinos is the bonuses. Since there are so many online players; the progressive jackpots increase at a sensational rate. So much so that there's no shortage of one million pound jackpot prizes which can be won for no more than a 25 spin! So if you're looking for big wins online casinos have that as well!

Sergio Martinez graces Rolling Stone magazine cover
By @livefight
New York, NY (2/5/13) - Middleweight kingpin Sergio "Maravilla" Martinez was on the cover of this month's Argentine edition of Rolling Stone magazine that hit stands yesterday.
The WBC middleweight champion Martinez (50-2-2, 28KO's) is set to defend his crown April 27th against the U.K.'s undefeated Martin Murray (25-0-1, 11KO's) at
Club Atlético Vélez Sarsfield in Buenos Aires, Distrito Federal, Argentina. The soccer stadium will be set up to hold 50,000 + people, and will be the first fight for Martinez in his native country of Argentina since 2002. HBO's World Championship Boxing will provide live coverage of the event. Martinez has already begun training for his defense on the 27th.
"I am very appreciative to Rolling Stone for placing me on the cover," said Martinez. "It is a great honor for me, and I had a great time working with the people at Rolling Stone on the latest edition of their magazine."
"We at DBE have always believed that Sergio rocks. What better publication then to grace the pages of Rolling Stone. That is just flat out cool," said long-time promoter Lou DiBella.
Martinez' management team of Sampson Lewkowicz, Miguel Ángel de Pablos and Nathan Lewkowicz were also excited about Martinez being featured on the cover.
"I am very proud and very excited that he is being recognized for his popularity in Argentina. This is a tremendous honor to be part of, let alone on the cover of such a historic magazine as Rolling Stone." - Sampson Lewkowicz, long-time advisor.
"The hard work of the team is coming to fruition and Sergio is now recognized throughout the world as a true superstar." - Miguel Ángel de Pablos, business manager.
"It's a very well written article and it introduces people that do not follow boxing to one of the sport's best representatives." - Nathan Lewkowicz, VP Sampson Boxing

Actress Jodie Sweetin has cleared up reports suggesting she has checked into a rehabilitation facility following the breakdown of her third marriage, insisting she actually works there.
The former "Full House" star is in the midst of divorcing DJ Morty Coyle and she recently moved out of their home.
She has since been photographed at residential rehab One80Center in the Hollywood Hills, prompting false rumors suggesting she is seeking help there – but Sweetin has called the speculation is "such bulls—."
She tells TMZ.com, "I am absolutely not in rehab. I work for the centre and they have been really generous in helping me with a place to stay as Morty wanted me out by the end of the month.
"The owners of the facility said I could stay here as I got things figured out."
Sweetin, who is working for the center as a clinical logistics co-ordinator, also reveals she has dropped her demand for full custody of their daughter Beatrix in favor of joint custody, so the former couple can co-parent the 2 year old.
The actress split from Coyle in June, 15 months after they secretly wed.

One of the first things I noticed after reading the BLGS-DILG report is that they changed the methodology of the study from an "outcomes-based" into a "process-oriented" report. The 2009 report I cited in my earlier column pieces measured LGU "project outcomes," whereas the new report measures LGU compliance to DILG-sanctioned "processes." This is because when the late Secretary Jesse Robredo assumed the DILG helm, he discovered that most LGUs did not even have the necessary processes or systems in place to achieve the desired positive "outcomes" in their localities. Thus, Robredo decided to "go back to the basics" and tried to introduce "processes" or "best practices" (based on his actual experiences as Naga City mayor) in order to equip LGUs with the tools they need to realize positive outcomes. Thus, aside from the changes in the BLGS report Jess also established awards such as the "Seal of Good Housekeeping" to encourage LGU compliance to his reform initiatives.
As can be seen, Iloilo City passed the BLGS-DILG test with flying colors. In almost all the five Performance Areas the city government garnered "High" and "Excellent" ratings, except for the sub-category on "Entrepreneurship, Business and Industry Promotion" where it received only a "Fair" 3.97 grade in 2010 (but improved to a "High" 4.75 rating the following year). Iloilo City excelled particularly in the subjects of "Social Governance" and "Valuing Fundamentals of Governance." The BLGS report explained that the city received high marks in "Social Governance" because all the basic systems for the delivery of health, education, socialized housing, peace and order and disaster risk management services are present in Iloilo City. BLGS likewise praised the Iloilo City government for its participatory, transparency and financial accountability measures, to wit: "Transparency in government operations is remarkable. Communicating to the public through various means i.e. bulletin boards, PIO, print and broadcast media, website and other forms is valued."
But just to put things in their proper perspective, the reformatted BLGS-DILG report measures only the compliance of Iloilo City to the "processes" advocated by Robredo. It does not measure the "outcomes" of these "processes." In other words, Iloilo City bagged the LGPMS award (Top 3 nationwide) and Seal of Good Housekeeping award (for two consecutive years) not because it has achieved positive "outcomes" but because it has satisfactorily complied with the various "processes" and systems designed by BLGS-DILG.
To use an analogy, Iloilo City is like a law student who topped the Bar exam or a medical student who placed in the Board exam or a college marketing major who is a Dean's lister. Being a Bar topnotcher or an honor student is good, but in the real world a lawyer is measured by the number of cases he wins; the doctor by how good he treats his patients; the marketing professional by the volume of goods he is able to sell in the market. The same also applies in local government: a policeman is measured by the number of cases he solves; a city health worker by the number of indigent patients served; the mayor by the positive impact of his leadership to the community.
If one excelled as a student, chances are that person will also succeed in life. But such is not always the case – there are also bright and promising students who later turn out to be major disappointments in life. With Iloilo City passing the BLGS test with flying colors, it stands to reason that City Hall has what it takes to bring about real positive results. City Hall for instance got an excellent rating in the area of "Transparency and Accountability." Obviously, the end goal of transparency and accountability practices is to stop corruption in public transactions. So the next question is: did the "process" (e.g. posting of city budget on website, publishing bid notices, etc.) result to a "positive outcome" (i.e. zero corruption)? Likewise, the BLGS gave Iloilo City near-perfect scores for its adherence to health, housing and education "best-practices." Did this result to a reduction in child malnutrition and adult mortality rates, a decline in the number of squatters, and a dramatic improvement in the literacy rate and NSAT performance of schoolchildren in Iloilo City?
The fact is, nobody knows. City Hall has yet to release the data.
Finding out the true state of Iloilo City under Mabilog is the main reason for this column. Nothing more. I did not use the 2010 and 2011 study in my earlier columns because the new BLGS-DILG format does not really provide the governance "outcomes" that I was seeking. I used the 2009 Report precisely because it is the only one that gives a factual portrait of the state of Iloilo City. To use another analogy, the 2009 BLGS Report is like a snapshot, a picture portrait of Iloilo City taken three years ago. The picture may be three years old, but I still consider it a valid photo of Iloilo City. This is because the face of a city, similar to that of a person, does not really change that much within a span of three years. Unless of course if that person (or city) underwent a radical cosmetic surgery.
I can only hope that Mayor Mabilog would allow his people to release the latest development statistics. If the answers turn out to be bad, then he has only himself to blame for failing to achieve results. But if the numbers are good, then it will certainly be a plus factor for his reelection campaign. If Mabilog continues to hide or fudge the numbers, then people will naturally suspect that he does not want them to see the true state of Iloilo City under his stewardship. Then Ilonggos will conclude that everything is just self-delusional propaganda.

Senator Jon Tester Visits St. Patrick Hospital's Physical Therapy Program [AUDIO]
Senator Jon Tester was in Missoula Monday afternoon to visit St. Patrick Hospital and discuss a bill he has sponsored to help physical therapy students pay off their loans.
Tester has sponsored the Physical Therapist Student Loan Repayment Eligibility Act, which would allow physical therapists to participate in the National Health Service Loan Repayment Program.
After touring St. Patrick Hospital's physical therapy workout facility, Tester sat down with hospital administrators, a PT professor at the University of Montana and three physical therapy students to discuss the challenges they face in the program.
Student debt and living under the burden of increased costs in post-graduate programs was the main theme of the discussion.
Jon Tester discussion with physical therapy students
After the group discussion, Tester explained how the bill would help physical therapy students qualify for loan forgiveness by serving in rural areas for a specified time. He also addressed the pending sequester, saying there are several options on the table to keep from hacking at programs with a budgetary chain saw.The sequester amounts to across-the-board budget cuts that will strike in March barring an agreement on deficit reduction.

Holocaust Remembrance Day (Yom HaShoah) begins in the evening of Wednesday, April 18, 2012, and ends in the evening of Thursday, April 19, 2012
I wrote the following blog a couple of years ago to commemorate Holocaust Remembrance Day
I can remember the Holocaust, but I can't do much more. I can't imagine it, I can't describe it, I can't understand it.
My parents weren't Jews. They weren't in the Holocaust. They were Polish Catholics who were taken to Germany to work as slave laborers in the concentration camps there. My dad spent four and a half years in Buchenwald, and my mom spent more than two years in a number of camps around Magdeburg. They suffered terribly, and they saw terrible things done to the people they loved. My mother's family was decimated. Her mother, her sister, and her sister's baby were killed outright by the Nazis. My mother's two aunts were taken to Auschwitz with their Jewish husbands and died there.
I remember asking my mother once if she could explain to me what she felt in the worst month of her worst year in the slave labor camps in Germany. All she could say was, you weren't there.
I wasn't there.
I've spent much of my life writing about the things that happened to my parents in the slave labor camps and reading about what happened in those camps and in the Nazi death camps in Poland where so many Jews died, and still I will never be able to understand or comprehend what happened to the Jews in the Holocaust.
I went to Auschwitz in 1990 with my wife Linda and our daughter Lillian. We walked around, took pictures, tried to imagine what had happened there. We couldn't. We were just tourists.
I wrote a poem about it:
Tourists in Auschwitz
It's a gray drizzly day
but still we take pictures:
Here we are by the mountain of shoes.
Here we are by a statue of people
working to death
pulling a cart full of stones.
Here we are by the wall where they shot
the rabbis and the priests
and the school children
and the trouble makers.
We walk around some too
but we see no one.
Later, we will have dinner
in the cafeteria at Auschwitz.
We will eat off aluminum plates
with aluminum knives and forks.
The beans will be hard,
and the bread will be tasteless.
But for right now, we take more pictures:
Here we are by the mountain of empty suitcases.
Here we are in front of the big ovens.
Here we are by the gate with the famous slogan.
Here we are in front of the pond
where the water is still gray from the ashes
the Germans dumped.

• Either failure to return funds owed to a Covered Client or funds which belong to a Covered Client but are held by BDSwiss, directly or indirectly, and which the former requested the Firm to return in the context of exercising a right under the Terms and Conditions;
• Or failure to hand over to a Covered Client financial instruments that rightfully belong to them and which the Company holds, manages, or keeps on its account, including but not limited to situations where BDSwiss is responsible for the administrative management of the relevant financial instruments.
7.3 The Fund initiates the compensation payment procedure when at least one of the following preconditions is presumed:
• If the member of the Fund submits to the Fund or to Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission CySEC a written statement declaring its failure to fulfil its obligations toward its clients.
• If the member of the Fund files an application for liquidation in accordance with the provisions of Part V of the Companies Law, or
• If (CySEC) has revoked or suspended the member's authorization to provide investment services and ascertains that the member of the Fund is not expected to be in a position to fulfil its obligations toward its clients in the near future, for reasons which do not concern a temporary lack of liquidity which can be dealt with immediately.
7.4 In order to reach a decision on its commencement of the compensation payment procedure, CySec may request by the member of the Fund to set out its views within a short deadline so fixed, which cannot be less than three working days from the date of the invitation to set out such views.
7.5 Upon issuance of a decision by the Court or by CySEC, on the commencement of the compensation payment process, the Fund publishes in at least three newspapers of national coverage, an invitation to the covered clients to make their claims against the member of the Fund arising from covered services, designating the procedure for the submission of the relevant applications, the deadline for their submission and their content. The publication contains at least:
• the name and address of the headquarters of the member of the Fund, to whom the covered client compensation process has been activated through the Fund;
• the deadline for the submission of compensation applications, which cannot be less than five months and greater than nine months from the last publication;
• the mode and address of submission of applications;
• the address at which investors may be informed about the exact content of the applications to be submitted, and get the relevant form provided by the Fund.
7.6 In case a covered client, not being its fault, was neither informed about the invitation to submit compensation applications nor in a position to submit within the deadline this application, the deadline is interrupted provided that an interruption of the deadline arises in case of an event of force majeure, as long as it has been proved that it prevented the keeping of the deadline for the submission of compensation applications or the collection and submission of the required information.
7.7 Indications that the covered client has an impediment for which he is not responsible and which forms a reason for the interruption of the deadline for the submission of a compensation application include especially:
• proved absence of the covered client abroad for a period which includes at least half of the deadline for the submission of a timely application;
• illness confirmed by a doctor that it forms a serious impediment for the submission of an application for a period which includes at least half of the deadline for the submission of a timely application; or
• his stay in a correctional institution for a period which includes at least half of the deadline for the submission of a timely application.
7.8 A covered client who submits an application late to the Fund for the payment of compensation is obliged to submit, in addition to the information forming the necessary minimum content of the application a solemn declaration stating the reason for which he was not in a position to claim compensation in time attaching the necessary supporting evidence to prove his allegations.
7.9 The compensation applications of covered clients with which they make their claims against a member of the Fund are submitted to the Fund in writing. The compensation applications must include:
• the name of the claimant;
• the address, telephone and fax numbers as well as any email address of the claimant;
• the client code that the claimant had for the member of the Fund;
• the particulars of the covered services agreement between the Fund and the claimant;
• the type and amount of the alleged claims of the claimant; and
• the exposition of the particulars from which the alleged claims of the claimant and their amount are derived.
The Fund may ask for more information included in the compensation application, which it communicates with its publication in at least three newspapers of national coverage as well as in the Official Gazette of the Republic, and puts a catalogue with this information at the disposal of investors, at its offices and/or at the offices of the member of the Fund.
7.10 The Fund designates at least one qualified auditor and at least one lawyer with knowledge on capital market issues, who after having checked initially the prerequisites, they evaluate the claims submitted to the Fund and recommend to the Administrative Committee their acceptance in total or in part or their rejection. In case of disagreement between these persons, each one them submits a separate recommendation. The remuneration of the persons is agreed between the Fund and these persons and burdens the member of the Fund, and, if necessary, is paid by the Fund. The persons in order to evaluate the applications:
• ask from the member of the Fund to express its opinion about the grounds of the claims alleged by the claimants and, in case of doubt, to present the relevant supporting documents;
• evaluate, based on the information they have, the applications, determining the amount of the compensation for each claimant.
The persons referred to above, have full access to the books kept by the member of the Fund, in order to accomplish their work, and they are obliged to exhibit confidentiality against any third party as to the information coming to their knowledge in the exercise of their duties provided that the said obligation of confidentiality is disregarded in order to render possible the exercise of their duties.
7.11 Upon submission of the applications the Administrative Committee has control especially if:
• the claimant falls within the category of covered clients; • the application was timely submitted; • the claimant-client is not convicted of a criminal offence pursuant to the Prevention and Suppression of Money Laundering Activities Law of 2007, as amended or replaced; • the conditions of legislation for the valid submission of compensation applications are fulfilled.
The Administrative Committee rejects the application in case the claimant does not fulfil the above conditions or, if at the Administrative Committee's discretion, there exists at least one of the following reasons:
• The claimant used fraudulent means in order to secure the payment of compensation by the Fund, especially if it knowingly submitted false evidence; • the damage suffered by the claimant substantially derived from concurrent negligence or offence on its behalf in relation to the damage it suffered and to its underlying cause.
The Administrative Committee during the examination of the applications takes into consideration the recommendations of the persons defined in subparagraph 7.8 and decides on the applications submitted to the Fund determining the amount of the compensations for each covered client-claimant.
7.12 The Fund may demand at any time from a covered client to return the compensation paid to it, if it finds out a posteriori that there was a reason to reject its application.
8. Compensation Amount
8.1 The amount of compensation payable to each covered Client is calculated in accordance with the legal and contractual terms governing the relation of the covered Client with the Company, subject to the off-set rules applied for the calculations of the claims between the covered Client and the Company.
8.2 The calculation of the payable compensation derives from the sum of total established claims of the covered client against the member of the Fund, arising from all covered services provided by the member and regardless of the number of accounts, of which it is a beneficiary, the currency and place of provision of these services.
8.3 The valuation of the financial instruments pertaining to the compensation payable to the covered client is carried out based on their value at the day:
• Of publication of a court ruling which has the effect of suspending the investors ability to lodge claims against it based on reasonable grounds directly related to financial circumstances of the Investment Firm (i.e BDSwiss Holding PLC) which has subscribed to the Fund;
• Of publication of the decision of the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission that an Investment Firm, which has subscribed to the Fund, is unable to meet any of its duties arising from its client's claims in connection with the covered services it has provided, as long as such inability is directly related to its financial circumstances in respect of which no realistic prospect of improvement in the near future seems foreseeable.
8.4 The calculation of the payable compensation derives from the sum of total established claims of the covered client against the member of the Fund, arising from all covered services provided by the member and regardless of the number of accounts, of which it is a beneficiary, the currency and place of provision of these services.
8.5 The total payable compensation to each covered Client of the Company may not exceed the amount of twenty thousand Euros (EUR 20,000), irrespective of the number of accounts held, currency and place of offering the investment service.
9. Valuation of claims of covered clients and its notification process
9.1 Upon completion of the valuation, the Fund: • issues minutes listing the clients of the member of the Fund which are compensation beneficiaries along with the amount of money each one of them is entitled to receive, and communicates it to CySEC and the member of the Fund within five working days from its issue; and • communicates to each affected client its finding no later than fifteen days from the issue of the minutes referred to above, determining the total compensation amount this client is entitled to receive.
9.2 CySEC, in order to ensure that the provisions of the legislation in force in the Republic are fulfilled during the examination of the applications and the calculation of the amount of the corresponding compensation per covered client, may:
• request from the Fund, the member of the Fund and the claimant to produce information and particulars; • run any investigation required, implementing the relevant provisions of the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission Law of 2009 to 2013, as in force, and especially those provisions enacting the powers of the Securities and Exchange Commission for entry and investigation.
9.3 The claimant to whom the Fund communicates the total compensation amount to which it is entitled, in case it disagrees with the Fund's decision, has the right within ten days from the communication of the decision, to appeal to CySEC, justifying sufficiently its alleged claim.
9.4 The Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission, in as long as it finds errors or inaccuracies as to the evaluation by the Fund of the applications for the payment of compensation and the fixing of the compensation for each claimant, taking into consideration any memos submitted to it by claimants, may demand from the Fund to correct the payable compensations with a decision communicated to the Fund within forty-five days from the communication to it of the minutes of the compensation beneficiaries.
10. Deadline and procedure related to the payment of compensation
10.1 The Fund is obliged to pay to each covered client-claimant the compensation within three months from sending to CySEC the minutes with the compensation beneficiaries.
10.2 The payment of the compensation by the Fund is deposited to a bank account of the covered client-claimant designated by the latter in writing to the Fund.
10.3 Every compensation payable to a covered client burdens initially the property of the Fund corresponding to the individual shares of its members and then the assets of the fixed reserve.
11. Effects of payment of compensation
The payment of any compensation by the Fund entails ipso jure subrogation of the Fund to the rights of the compensated covered client-claimant against the member of the Fund for an amount equal to the compensation payable to it.
12. General Information

Dear SOS: My husband and I recently visited downtown Napa, Calif. The amazing chocolate dessert at Carpe Diem is absolutely the best chocolate dessert I've ever tasted! And I am not a big dessert person. Satin-smooth chocolate with a texture between a pudding and souffle, but better. Not too sweet and topped with a small drop of whipped cream and then sprinkled with perfectly roasted and salted pepitas [pumpkin seeds]. Divine.
Shirley Burke
Los Angeles
Dear Shirley: This dessert is a chocolate lover's dream come true. Carpe Diem was happy to share its recipe for this wonderfully rich pot de crème, which makes four to six normal servings (or two generous servings for a pair of serious chocolate lovers). Enjoy!
Mexican chocolate pot de crème
Total time: 45 minutes, plus chilling time for the pots de crème
Servings: 4 to 6
Pot de crème
1 1/2 cups whole milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
6 egg yolks
6 ounces Mexican chocolate (preferably Abuelita), finely chopped
6 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
1. In a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the milk and cream and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium.
2. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, beat the egg yolks to combine. Slowly whisk about one-fourth cup of the milk mixture into the eggs to temper them, then transfer the eggs to the saucepan, whisking to combine.
3. Cook the custard, stirring frequently, until it is slightly thickened. Immediately add the chopped Mexican and bittersweet chocolates to the pan. Remove the pan from heat. Stir until the chocolate is melted and incorporated into the custard.
4. Strain the mixture into a large glass measuring cup or bowl. Ladle the chocolate into small bowls. Refrigerate the custards until set and chilled, at least 6 hours but preferably overnight.
Candied pumpkin seeds
1/2 cup toasted pumpkin seeds
1 tablespoon sugar
In a medium, nonstick pan, combine the pumpkin seeds and sugar over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring frequently with a heat-resistant spatula, until the sugar is melted and coats the pumpkin seeds. Remove from heat and spread the seeds on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet so the seeds do not stick together as they cool.
Whipped cream and assembly
1 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons sugar
Pots de crème
Candied pumpkin seeds
Maldon salt or another coarse sea salt
1. In a large bowl using a whisk or hand mixer, beat together the cream with the vanilla extract and sugar to form stiff peaks.
2. Serve the pots de crème with a dollop of whipped cream, a sprinkling of candied pumpkin seeds and a pinch of salt.
Each of 6 servings: 652 calories; 12 grams protein; 49 grams carbohydrates; 3 grams fiber; 50 grams fat; 24 grams saturated fat; 273 mg cholesterol; 40 grams sugar; 59 mg sodium.

The Products Behind Denver's Number 1 Spa
At Phia Lab we believe there's an energy charging through nature that's everywhere. Whether you're looking out over your favorite surf break or you're waist-deep in fresh powder, you can feel it around you with strength and purpose. It's life in its purest form, moving to its own beat, its own cadence, its own flow. And when we capture even a portion of it, big things happen.
At Phia Lab, we do just that every day in our small-batch blends. By hand mixing only the purest, most vibrant ingredients with the natural laws of physics and mathematics, we develop new compositions and new ways to channel nature's energy. Ultimately, Phia uses these dynamic creations in hair and body products that inspire and empower us all.
To live fully and with passion demands energy but the rewards are endless. At Phia, we develop new ways to capture nature's energy for this exact purpose. Natural energies impact the way we feel, the way we think and how we live. We harness energies created by sun, soil and water found in fields, forests and oceans from the far corners of the world and combine them using the natural laws of physics and mathematics. Ultimately, we create hair and body products that help us all live fully with passion – to be a force!
At Phia, we believe that the complex molecular structures of nature's purest ingredients contain beneficial attributes and energies that synthetics will never possess. In our laboratories, we strive to create powerful products by combining the best nature has to offer in perfect mathematical formulations while engineering the physics of nature to create unique bioenergetic bouquets.

For the past decade, Phia's founder has researched the energy of essential oils. Based on this work, it was discovered that this energy is visible, vibrant and long-lasting. In contrast, synthetic ingredients commonly used in commercial products were found to be faint or lifeless. Natural energies impact the way we feel, the way we think and how we live.
At Phia, we harness energies created by sun, soil and water, found in fields, forests and oceans from the far corners of the world. Products are created with your well-being in mind, deliberately void of synthetic substances that deflate or destroy the vibrant energy of natural essences.

At Phia, we believe that these vibrant ingredients deserve perfect proportions. In art and science, Phi is the divine proportion. This mysterious form of numeric perfection shapes our world and fulfills our senses. From Egypt's inspiring pyramids to Da Vinci's majestic masterpieces to the soothing sound of the violin, Phi empowers creation.
Phi (Φ), the world's most perfect number (1.618), is evident in beauty, nature, art, music, architecture, and even the human anatomy. Phia products apply the time tested pattern of Phi to achieve the divine.
At Phia Lab we want you to be a force. We believe our products can make that happen but we recognize that one force does not fit all. To meet your needs and interests, we developed a proprietary Energy Spectrum to classify essential oils of plants, flowers and herbs according to their energy content.
Based on the study of hundreds of oils, the Spectrum contains six energy categories: Grounding, Adventure, Focus, Balance, Imagination and Charisma. We carefully blend within an energy category using the mathematical formulations of Phi to create unique bouquets with strength and purpose.
Grounding is for all. This unisex bouquet grounds your mind in the moment. It connects us to Earth and converts thought into movement. Derived from essential oils stretching across five continents, this natural bouquet from Ireland, the Netherlands, Italy and India breaks barriers and blossoms as a common language. Green ivy from rolling hills and enduring woods of the desert sands are complemented by robust notes of verbena and violet. It is peace. It is precious. It is present.
With an irresistible spark of adventure, this bouquet tantalizes your youthful spirit with a polite request to escape and play. Promise to protect the desire to always discover and explore with this adventurous mango, coconut, magnolia composition with a few secret twists, for added surprise.
With energies in the middle to lower range of the Phia Energy Spectrum, Adventure invigorates your energy with these exquisite creations from nature's fountain of youth.
With extra spice and many distinctive layers, this bouquet summons the power of concentration, giving you the edge! This mysterious blend contains elements from the Malabar Coast of India and Morocco. Amber and tuberose, one of the world's most expensive essential oils with prices exceeding those of gold on occasion, play lead roles in this provocative bouquet.
A carefree walk through a seaside meadow on a blue sky day … fresh, balanced and full of life. This airy bouquet combines plants, flowers and herbs from Madagascar, Tahiti and Hawaii. The blend includes energies from green grass and lush woods, the soothing vibration of vanilla and a unique combination of tropical flowers designed to even out emotions.
With energies concentrated in the center of the Phia Energy Spectrum, this bouquet helps you find balance in today's hectic world.
Deep in the painter's palette lays the seed of imagination. Like the brush strokes in Monet's landscapes, the notes in this bouquet unlock the window to your creative mind. Explore this scent for the hidden possibilities. Fields of lavender in Chateauredon and lilacs at the summer festival … hints of tobacco from grandfather's pipe and a touch of mystery from the moon islands uniquely blended to unlock your imagination.
Phia's original bouquet came about with a goal in sight. For Phia's Founder, it was competing in the Olympics. For you, it may be rising to the challenge of a different tune. This firecracker blend will deliver charisma in any situation. From the busiest city streets to the highest mountain peaks, you will have the energy to make it happen.
Charisma combines natural rose oil from Bulgaria's Valley of the Roses with Italian Bergamot and an energizing grapefruit twist. With energy frequencies at the upper end of the Phia Energy Spectrum, this bouquet puts you on course for living with passion and purpose.

In the midst of the world's dire need for an energy revolution, there's a welcome, though probably feeble, theme emerging from automakers:
Small, agile, efficient and fast.
Fast fun cars that are easy to drive and cheap to fill were once a mainstay on U.S. roadways. The Nissan 280ZX. The Toyota MR2. The Honda S2000. The Mazda Miata. Then the road behemoths of the 1990s and early 2000s took over, and only now are they slowly being replaced by smaller crossover SUVs. I wonder if the same fate awaits the heavy muscle cars that currently dominate sales charts.
Could the return of small, efficient speed be the demise of American muscle?
