Axe White Label Night Shower Gel Review
We generally cover the best in men's colognes and ladies perfumes on this site. However, there are naturally other fashion and beauty products on the markets which command our attention from time to time. Today, i would like to delve into a line known as the White Label by Axe which is a subsidiary of Unilever. Axe is an industry leader in male body spray, deodorant, and body wash and has introduced the new white label line of scents here in 2015. For this post, I am going to give my impressions on the fragrance called, "Night" after using it in its shower gel form.
Notes include: grapefruit, lavender, cedarwood and praline
The opening of this shower gel is smooth and dark. It comes out of the bottle colored purple and has a very good lather, once you begin working it. To me, the most prominent note is the sandalwood and it provides a very clean experience and that element of darkness to the fragrance. The cedar wood gives it a rougher and more masculine note and balances out the bitterness of the grapefruit quite well. This isn't a cologne that has multi-layers to it but it does provide a fresh and very smooth scent.
In terms of its staying power, again, it's not a cologne…though I am sure the deodorant or body spray will last much further into the day (Axe will generally last pretty much all day in my experience, especially the deodorant). The shower gel, seems to have a staying power of maybe 4 hours depending on the environment you're in. If I use it after the gym and am just lounging around the house, it obviously lasts much longer than if I am out and about. Do I like this scent? I do but it isn't my favorite among the two White Label shower gels that I have tried thus far.

10-year-old fakes kidnap, blames parents as they favoured elder sister
After changing her story several times over the last six days, a 10-year-old girl in Pune yesterday admitted that she had faked her kidnapping to teach her parents and elder sister a lesson as they never favoured her
Pune: After changing her story several times over the last six days, a 10-year-old girl in Pune yesterday admitted that she had faked her kidnapping to teach her parents and elder sister a lesson as they never favoured her.
The girl at the spot where Santosh Kaur Pagania found her
The remorseful girl later confessed, "I want to be with my parents and I am sorry to trouble them. I thought the police will just shout at them and let them go but they were going to arrest them and put them behind bars. I do not like studying and I want to be an actor."
First story
The girl, a Bhumkar Chowk resident, had left home on May 5 and was found hiding in the bushes near Mumbai-Bangalore highway the next day by a petrol pump worker Santosh Kaur Pagania.
Pagania said the girl's face was covered in tar and the child asked her not to inform the police as she said her parents were looking for her to harm her. After saying this she fell unconscious. "Scared to inform the cops, I brought the girl to my house, where I fed her and gave her medicines as the girl had fever," said the 30-year-old petrol pump worker.
When asked by Pagania about how she got there, the 10-year-old said her father had kidnapped her and kept her tied in the bushes near the highway but she managed to flee the spot. "I then contacted Sachin Jadhav, who runs an NGO called Helping Hand Foundation for help," Pagania added.
Second story
After consulting Jadhav, who was not in Pune then, Pagania went to the cops who made her run from pillar to post saying that the case didn't fall in their jurisdiction. Then Jadhav finally came to Pune on May 9 and met the girl, who told him that her mother had abandoned her on the highway with R100 saying that she was burden on her as she already has one daughter. He then took her to Hinjewadi police station. "On May 9, I came to Pune and approached Hinjewadi police station, where the cops claimed that a missing case had already been registered by the girl's parents on May 6," said Jadhav.
Truth be told
The police tried to counsel the girl for three days. Inspector Arun Yaykar, in-charge, Hinjewadi police station, said, "We went to the spot, where the girl had claimed she was abandoned, and also checked CCTV footage to check if she was telling the truth. But the footage showed the girl walking there alone on May 5 evening."
He added, "Initially, the girl claimed that she was kidnapped by her father but later she said her mother wanted to get rid of her. We then took her to a park and got a counselor to talk to her. When that didn't make her speak, we told her that we planned to arrest her parents. This made her break down and she said that she had had a fight with her elder sister and her parents never took her side. So, she wanted to teach them a lesson by staging a kidnap."

Rihanna and Calvin Harris release 'This Is What You Came For'
Come for the music, stay for Rihanna's dance moves
Calvin Harris and Rihanna are back at it again with a new video for their collaboration, This Is What You Came For. The Emil Nava-directed clip is clearly all about Riri as she dances around in a sparkly onesie. If you're not already mesmerised by her hypnotic dance moves, the rotating cube in which she dances in, lit up with lasers and landscape projections, will surely make you giddy.
The Scottish DJ only makes two very short appearances throughout the 4-minute video, so you need to make an effort (don't take your eyes off the screen) to spot him in the video.

Christmas Day!!
I'm so glad we did our Christmas at home – our first year in this house and our first year with the girls. I mean. Cats. I love my cats. What?
We had a slow morning…. My parents left around noon to drive back home, so before then we just relaxed.
Both Andrew and I actually went back to bed for little naps at various times throughout the morning. Christmas nap!
We had plans to go over to Andrew's parents' house in the afternoon – and a Schubert family tradition is Mexican food on Christmas day!
I contributed my (fantastic) chicken enchilada dish, so spent the later Christmas morning putting together enchiladas…
We headed over the the Schuberts' house across town in the early afternoon – timed about the time that Joe and Kaitlin came up.
NEPHEW!!! Joey's first Christmas!
love him.
Such a cutie…
We ALSO did no-gifts-just-stocking-stuffers with Andrew's family. Except for Joey, of course.
We just slowly opened gifts throughout the afternoon, played with Joey, ate Mexican food.
SUPER relaxing.
Kaitlin and Joe made Andrew this clock using one of the records he put out – it's currently hanging in our guest room.
Lazy Christmas.
LOVED it.

This afternoon's (Monday, March 28) Evo-Stik Southern Premier League between King's Lynn Town and St Neots has been postponed due to a waterlogged pitch.
The club stated: "The club left it as long as they could to try and get the game to go ahead but have been defeated by the rain, and with more rain forecast this afternoon it was deemed necessary to postpone the fixture."
Club official Mark Hearle made a brief statement: "An initial inspection took place at 9am this morning when the pitch was playable.
"After the inspection the weather then took a drastic turn for the worse for heavy rain falling for two hours.
"It was then deemed necessary to call another inspection for midday. However we were unable to obtain a local referee to inspect the pitch, so we had to wait for the arrival of the match official to make the final decision.
"Any fixture that needs postponing is up to a qualified official, not the decision of the football club."

What are we trying to accomplish and how?
What do we want to track & how?
What do we
want to learn & report?
step 1: vision
improved human, social, & environmental wellbeing
Martin Luther King, Jr.
August 28, 1963
…and energizes the team
Across rural India, women and girls utilize and benefit from appropriate health care, education, food and water security and freedom from violence. Women have access to the markets, credit, banking and municipal services they need to pursue their livelihood goals. They use drudgery-reducing technologies and agricultural inputs that contribute to personal well-being and to ecological sustainability. Villages are fully served by public transport, are well lit at night and police enforce all laws fully and equitably. Girls attend school full time and families have the information and resources to make informed decisions regarding their health, safety and social needs. Gender equity governs household labor and decision-making; and men in the community understand and support gender-responsive laws. As elected representatives and as pressure groups, women influence decisions and policies affecting the wellbeing of their families and communities.
step 2: mission
Describes how the program intends to:
(what it does, with who, how and why)
The Swayamsiddha Project works with governments, NGOs & CBOs to improve women's health and empowerment. It facilitates the formation of women's self help groups by providing funding and training to help them influence community and government services to be more responsive to their health and livelihood needs. The project fosters mutual respect and joint action between women's self-help groups and banks, police, health & social service providers and government agencies. It researches and promotes ecosystem and human health practices in agriculture and in community health and sanitation services. Swayamsiddha addresses equity issues in all its activities. It uses participatory methods to monitor progress, to learn how to become more effective in supporting its partners and to report on its results.
step 3: boundary partners
The part of the world you are interested in
= the project's direct or 'boundary' partners
step 4: outcome challenge
what indicators do you use for:
Greater awareness…
Empowered women…
Community ownership…
Reduced conflict…
Increased collaboration…
Governmental commitment…
Gender sensitivity…
Equal access…
Budgetary transparency…
Active participation…
Poverty alleviation…
Strengthened capacity…
step 5: progress markers

step 6: strategy maps
what networks or relationships will be established or utilized?
how will sustained support, guidance or mentoring be provided?
aimed at boundary partner's environment
what will be done to produce and "immediate output"?
what will be done to alter the physical or policy environment?
how will the media or publications be used?
aimed atindividual boundary partner
what will be done to build capacity?
facilitation questions
Flexible: modular to be adapted to use & context
Complementary: combine with other methods

Mother knows best – The new rules of customer engagement – Gnatta
by Will Corry on April 26, 2015 in Digital Marketing, Ecommerce, Email Marketing, Latest News, Lead Article, Mobile/Tablet, News you can use, Nuggets, Online Advertising, Online Video, QR Codes, Retail, Search Marketing
Parents are more likely to use social media to complain about your business than their children, according to a survey conducted by social media software experts, Gnatta
- 35-44 year olds are the most likely to engage with companies on social media.
- 33% of parents use social media to complain compared with 9% of non-parents
- Only 11% 18-24 year olds would chose to contact businesses via social media with most prefering to contact companies either via email or face-to-face.
- 1 in 10 over 65's currently use social media to make their consumer voice heard
- Over 50% customers expect a reply from businesses within 24 hours if they make a complaint
These results may come as a surprise, as the digitally native younger generation have staked their claim to social media. However, with these statistics proving otherwise, it is time businesses re-thought about how they engage with the older generation of consumer? Contact Gnatta
The New Rules
1) Know your audience
The first rule of marketing is 'know your audience' and this should not be forgotten when businesses use social media.
With cyberspace becoming increasingly saturated by brands desperate to make their voices heard, the best way to cut through the noise is to engage with those who will be the most receptive.
The survey has highlighted that in order for businesses to be successful in the social space, they need to change their ideas of who their audience are and start making it more accessible to everyone.
Not only are the 35-44 age bracket more active than businesses may have previously assumed, 1 in 10 over 65's also prefer to use online social channels as a way of making their consumer voice heard.
It's time to stop trying to be 'hip and trendy' and acknowledge that your audience may want practicality and personal communication instead.
2) What a difference a day makes
Over 50% of consumers now expect their complaints to be answered in under 24hours. Therefore not only do businesses need to re-think who they are communicating with but also how quickly they are responding.
It is no secret that social media has revolutionised how we communicate, leading to an assumption that everyone can be contacted instantaneously. This needs to be acknowledged and response processes should be tightened by businesses if they are to maintain good B2C relations.
3) Make it Personal
So you now know your audience and have acknowledged the need to respond quickly but this is still not enough!
The most successful brands are those which make their customers feel special. Responding to each individual personally, acknowledging the complaint or answering their question, is the best way to make the customer feel valued.
Failure to maintain good customer relations chime a death knoll for your business. Online communities now have a louder voice than ever before and one bad customer experience can very soon become the brush which tars your brand. Therefore, for success to be maintained, it is vital that every customer experience is a good one.
4) Time is of the essence
What if the worst happens and one slips though the net? The best way to avoid crisis is a quick response. This means that you need to be aware of every interaction you receive on every online channel 24/7, this includes social media, email and review websites.
If your businesses in growing this will seem like a mammoth task, but with the wrath of the mummy blogger posing a very real threat to your reputation it is vital you take the necessary steps to effectively monitor your online presence.
So what is the solution? There are platforms out there which allow you to automate Twitter and automatic email responses have been around for a while, but if you really want to transform the customer experience it will take more than a robotic response.
However, there is hope – web applications such as @Gnatta now allow business to gather all communications in one place, allowing you to effectively monitor and respond to all forms of digital engagement from one online dashboard.
In a society where the personal touch is increasingly being lost, it is a knowledge of your audience and a one-to-one relationship which will put your businesses on the path to success.
Communication without limits. Creating a two-way dialogue between organisations and people, whilst providing in depth business intelligence.

Holistic Nutrition
A healthy diet is immensely important to your dogs well being and life. You have several options when it comes to diet:
- Raw diet
- Kibble or canned food
- Homemade cooked food
At Dynamic Dogs, we often recommend a raw diet. You can read an article by our trainer here. But we know this is not the choice for everyone. Below you will also find information on quality kibble dog food. Dynamic Dogs carries ACANA brand www.Championpetfoods.com dry and canned foods.
If you choose to feed a commercial dog food, it's important to choose the right one. Here are some brands we recommend
- Orijen, Acana, one of the best kibble pet foods available, grain-free
- Fromm
- Taste of the Wild
- Wellness CORE
- Nature's Variety Instinct
Not every dog will do well on the same food, and you may have to switch a few times to find a food that your dog does well on. There are plenty of "super-premium" brands to choose from, and they are sold at boutiques and specialty stores.
Here are some additional healthy brands of dog food:
- California Naturals, also good for dogs with allergies, limited ingredients
- Innova, makers of grain-free EVO
- Acana
- Artemis
- Honest Kitchen dehydrated
What makes a dog food good or bad?
Well, there are different grades to pet food. At the low end, there are "economy" or "grocery store brands." They commonly contain a lot of fillers, cheap grains, by-products, and lower grade proteins. A dog should not have corn in their diet, but a lot of pet foods contain corn because it is a cheap filler. They can also contain preservatives and added food coloring, all which are toxins for your pet's system. Think of all the "junk" leftover food products that are not fit for humans to eat– that's what ends up in cheap brands of dog food! A few of the cheap brands are Pedigree, Gravy Train, Beneful, Kibbles N' Bits, Ol' Roy, Mighty Dog, Purina Dog Chow, some store brands, and Purina One. Because these foods are not as nutritionally dense, your pet will require larger amounts- which translates to more waste to pick up.
Next, you have "mid-grade to premium" pet foods, which are commonly the brand names people recognize, like IAMS, Eukanuba, Nutro Max, Nutro Natural Choice, Nature's Recipe, Royal Canin, Purina Pro Plan (Purina's top-of-the-line food), Diamond, Cesar, Bil Jac, Rachel Ray Nutrish, and Science Diet. Some are not as bad as others, yet these still contain many grains and fillers, and are not the most nutritious for your pet. They use protein sources from vegetables like soy instead of from meat. These foods are not necessarily cheap price-wise, but keep in mind you are also paying for their advertising and the dog-related things they sponsor. According to www.dogfoodadvisor.com, Science Diet is a "1 Star" dog food, out of 5 stars, containing corn and even ground peanut shells. We do not recommend any of these foods listed. If cost is a concern, try Costco's food Kirkland brand or Nature's Domain, they are decent mid-quality, contain no corn or wheat, and are much cheaper than these name brands.
The best choice is a "specialty" or "super-premium" brand. These pet foods often contain human-grade ingredients, additional holistic supplements, healthier whole grains (quinoa, rye, brown rice, oats) or no grains at all, and high quality proteins. Because these foods are highly digestible, your dog will require less. They do not use unnatural preservatives or artificial colors. The companies may have higher standards of quality control and may source their ingredients from better places.
Homemade Diets
An alternative to feeding raw or commercial dog food is to cook it yourself. You will know exactly what is in your pets food. However, it does require careful planning.
Some examples of ingredients:
- Protein: Ground turkey or beef
- Grains: Brown Rice, quinoa, oatmeal, these are whole grains
- Vegetables: carrots, peas, squash, kale
- Supplements: Bone meal, multivitamin powder (such as Balance IT), probiotics/enzymes for digestion
Avoid onions, nuts, sugary foods, salt, or any ingredients that are not safe for dogs to consume. Before starting a homemade diet, do your research to make sure the feeding plan is nutritionally complete. We recommend you find recipes or get a book that has been approved by a nutritionist or vet.

There is this girl that I met from work this summer. We went to the same high school but never knew each-other until now. I'm going into my senior year of HS and she is going into freshman year in college. We both like each-other and the only thing holding us back from making our relationship more serious is the fact that she is going to college. She won't be more than an hour and a half away from me and she able to come home whenever she wants to and vice versa with me visiting her. So my main question here is, is it possible for a relationship like this to work well? I figured that it is technically a "long distance" relationship even though she is just a 90 mile drive away, so if there is anyone with experience with relationships like this, or any type of distance relationship, if they have any good advice or opinions on the matter.
How well will a "short/mid distance" relationship work?
Have an opinion?
What Girls Said 1
My boyfriend and have maintained a 2 year long distance relationship. 12 hours drive time in the beginning now only 6. We have had some difficult moments and we're in our 40's. The biggest suggestion is to always be honest when communicating. Trust is a factorHUGE in it. Gotta put effort in even when u may not want too. Distance can work but don't let it fool you... your mind will play tricks on you especially us women!! Good luck00|00|0
What Guys Said 2
Yes, it can definitely work! Just make sure you keep some time aside, maybe on weekends, to meet each other at least once a week,00|00|0
Thanks for responding so quickly! Not trying to sound too soft but this really does kind of gives me the confidence to talk about it more deeply with her.
I know how difficult it is to even find someone compatible, when we are trying to date. So a 90 minute drive should never act as a deterrent to pursuing a relationship with someone you find compatible! :)
Well mine is in prison 6 hrs away and we make it work. But we're older though00|00|0
Your relationship does really take a lot of loyalty on your part, and in a world where there are countless stereotypes on guys ending relationships or even cheating in your situations, or situations like it excites me!
It's only fair if she ain't gettin it then I'm not either

Armed with a voice and a keen sense of crafting a song, Alfa Garcia is "an artist who has a spectrum of colors in her palette, a songwriter with a knack for tickling a mainstream ear" (Music Connection Magazine., Jan 2014). A fun, energetic live show features Alfa's singular vocal style and a revolving door of instruments - from guitar, to piano, to ukulele, to kazoo. While she's known for a smart, thought-provoking style, audiences from Maine to Manila have seen Alfa pour her heart, soul and sunshine onto a crowd, with an easy charm she's learned from years on the road.
In 2013, Alfa's album "World Go Blue" entered the CMJ Top 200 National Charts and the College Radio Charts Top 100. WGB was recorded in Nashville and Los Angeles, under the helm of producers Marc Lacuesta (Point of Grace, Francesca Battistelli) and Paul Wight, and features top Nashville musicians Tim Lauer (The Civil Wars, Brett Dennen, Anais Mitchell), Tony Lucido (Hunter Hayes, Keith Urban, Kelly Clarkson), Ben Phillips (Blake Shelton, Plumb, Jeremy Camp), and Mike Payne (Colton Dixon, Natalie Grant, Sidewalk Prophets), as well as L.A. percussionist Nick Adams (David Cook).
Alfa's songs can also be heard on E!'s "Keeping Up With the Kardashians", MTV's "Friendzone", and the forthcoming indie film, "Old Fashioned" (Skoche Films). Alfa is a Kawai piano artist, alongside top-billing acts like OneRepublic and Muse, and endorses Mya-Moe Ukuleles and Walden Guitars.
In September 2013, Alfa toured her native Philippines, playing 7 shows in 6 days, including headlining at SM Mall of Asia with Ukulele Philippines, being featured with the Philippines Department of Tourism at Manila's SMX Convention Center, and an on-air performance on Magic 89.9's nationwide radio show, Boys Night Out. Candy Magazine, a major Philippine media outlet, caught wind of Alfa's music, and recently sang her praises: "If you could take the Friday Night Lights meme, 'clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose' and turn it into a person, you'd get pop-folk singer Alfa Garcia."
Born in the Philippines to a family of musicians, Alfa got an early start in piano and violin, playing nationally with the Children's Orchestra Society of New York. Alfa's music has received honorable mention from the New York Songwriters Circle and won Grand Prize at Kollaboration Acoustic 2009, a competition highlighting Asian-American talent.
After graduating from NYU and working as a reporter, Alfa took up music fully, traveling across the U.S. to play at college campuses and venues, while garnering praise along the way.
- Performed at Kollaboration Los Angeles in 2010

Multi-Client Study: Indonesia (September 2015)
This report on the construction equipment and agricultural tractor industries in Indonesia is one of a series produced by Off-Highway Research, and is an update of the last study published in September 2012.
Following the record level of sales seen in 2011, the market for heavy equipment has undergone a dramatic reversal of fortunes in the face of declining global commodity prices, slow economic growth, the implementation of a mining law banning the export of raw minerals, and protracted delays in the implementation of major infrastructure projects. All of these have conspired to undermine investment confidence and precipitate a 50 per cent collapse in sales in less than four years.
The aim of this report is to present an accurate overview of the development of the various construction equipment sectors in Indonesia since 2010, assessing the major changes that have taken place, and those which are likely to occur by the year 2019. Following an initial period of desk research, an in-depth field research programme was undertaken in Indonesia during May and June 2015. Interviews were carried out with the local manufacturers and the most significant importers and distributors of construction equipment.
The report follows the normal format of an Off-Highway Research Multi-Client Study, which has been developed with an emphasis on clarity. The coverage of the report is organised as follows:
The first section includes important topics of a general background nature, such as political and economic history, economic activity and the present situation and prospects for the construction, mining and forestry industries. The conclusions of these topics apply to all the product areas and are not, therefore, repeated in each analysis.
The second section covers 15 machinery sectors. For each category the following information is given:
The third section consists of profiles of the five domestic manufacturers of construction equipment analysed in the earlier sections, with details under the following headings:
The final section includes comprehensive profiles of leading suppliers of construction equipment, with details given under the following headings:

UGHHH, that's how I feel right now. Haha Only 15 minutes to go and I am officially out of my 20's! I'm really not sure how I feel about turning 30. I have never had a problem with any birthdays, but this one is different to me. But I guess it's all what you make of it. I'm determined to make it a good one!!! =)
No pictures or anything tonight. Emma is at my parents house for the weekend, and will be back in the morning. The hubby has been home sick all weekend with the yucky flu (that i'm praying I don't catch.). And I have been working this weekend.
I hope everyone enjoys the rest of their weekend!!! =)
15 minutes to go....

text: We are a group of seven, ages 2 - 85, who will be meeting in the Wells/Oguquit/Kennebunk area for lunch on Thursday. We plan to spend the day together in southern Maine, then some will head back to NH while others journey on to the Midcoast area of Maine, where we know the many great eating spots. Here's our wish -- a place for a relaxing lunch, nice view, maybe even a lawn for the two-year-old to run around on with a rocking chair for great-grandmother (recently diagnosed with Alzheimer's, alas -- this may be her last trip to Maine). Ocean ambiance -- necessary; good (but it doesn't have to be great) food -- necessary. Can you help with suggestions? We just don't know this area (in fact, usually avoid it like the plague).


text: difficult child 2 and I are back from the lake and difficult child 1 is spending the week there with friends. I am sooo nervous about him being there after seeing how they "do things" when they're on vacation. Keep in mind that difficult child 1 does NOT remember to take his medications without verbal prompts. He doesn't brush his teeth or shower without verbal reminders. He does NOT eat unless told to and/or something is made for him (he's too busy playing to remember to eat and won't ask people to make him something when he IS hungry, except me of course). At the lake, these friends snack all day and told my kids to help themselves to anything when they get hungry. Their 4 & 1 year olds get healthy snacky foods but only when they get REALLY crabby. I am scared that difficult child 1 will miss a bunch of medications and that he won't eat much and what he does eat will not be healthy in any way and that he won't brush or shower for a whole week either. As much as difficult child 2 and I need the break, I'm not sure my nerves are going to allow me to enjoy a minute of it. Thanks for letting me vent.

It is been reported that current Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal has rejected a move to make a return to the Netherlands national team.
Swift return ?
Van Gaal surprised many in his second spell with his home nation as he led the Netherlands to a third-placed finish at the 2014 World Cup before moving to Old Trafford to replace David Moyes.
The national side have since took a turn for the worse under the watch of Danny Blind, father of Red Devil, Daley as they failed to qualify for this summer's Euro 2016 tournament.
It is believed that the Dutch FA wanted to bring Van Gaal back into the fold in a director of football role to help reinvigorate and restore the country's national set-up and credibility.
Staying put
However it is believed that during the last international break, Van Gaal turned down the opportunity.
It has proved to be a torrid season for the 64-year-old with Van Gaal being linked with the sack on numerous occasions which have been followed by rumours of Jose Mourinho and Mauricio Pochettino taking the reigns this summer.
However this apparent rejection will fuel rumours that have emerged out of his home nation this week that he is likely to see out the remaining year of his contract despite the indifferent campaign.
United's form has began to improve with back-to-back wins over Manchester City and Everton respectively which has kept their top-four ambitions alive. Also,with the FA Cup still to play for, it could prove to be a good season for the Red Devils.
Seal of approval
One positive from the Van Gaal era has been the emergence of youngsters with one of them been Anthony Martial who has been fantastic in his first season and the 20-year-old was full of praise for his manager.
He told France Football that van Gaal had given him "a lot of confidence" and that he tries to "repay him every day".
He continued by saying that he was a "very good coach" who wants everything Martial does "to be perfect".
Manchester United will visit Tottenham Hotspur at White Hart Lane on Sunday, April 10 with kick-off at 4pm BST.

on our 3rd trip to Ao Nang we finally took the bait and found an empty table at Azzurra. located on the main strip we walked past this place many a time and it was always busy which is a good sign. I was feeling worse the wear following 9 days of chang/singha induced punishment, so needed a bit of western homecooking and get away from the spice !!!
The place was very busy, but on a negative very very hot too but luckily our cold drinks arrived to cool us down. Promptly the starters arrived, the wifes brushcetta was really tasty, my vine ripe tomato soup even better - just what the doctor ordered with a tiny hint of garlic & chilli, not over seasoned with pepper & basil as often happens with tomato soup - your supposed to taste the star of the show at the end of the day. The mains followed in good time, both went for the same penne pasta dish with pancetta in a rich tomato sauce - a tad salty and short of content apart from pasta n sauce. The thincrust pizzas on the next table looked superb tho, and for me tonights meal was exactly what i needed after the previous days excesses, just dont overdress

CANCER-causing chemicals used in non-stick frying pans are killing pet birds as well as proving hazardous to people and wildlife, according to a new report.
The document compiled by WWF - the global environment network - draws attention to chemicals like perflurinated compounds, used in the production of non-stick coatings, as one of the most prominent new toxic hazards.
It says hundreds of pet birds are thought to be killed by the fumes and particles emitted from non-stick coated products each year.
Elizabeth Salter-Green, head of WWF's toxics programme, said, "Years ago coal miners took canaries with them down the pits to detect lethal gases and enable them to react quickly to the threat.
"Now canaries are dying in our kitchens but no action is being taken about the suspect chemicals.
"The global production of chemicals is increasing and at the same time we have warning signals that a variety of troubling threats to wildlife and human health are becoming more prevalent.
"It is reckless to suggest there is no link between the two and give chemicals the benefit of the doubt. Urgent action is needed to ensure that hazardous chemicals are replaced with safer alternatives."
Scientists have found perflurinated compounds, classified as cancer-causing chemicals by the US Environmental Protection Agency in dolphins, whales and cormorants in the Mediterranean, seals and sea eagles in the Baltic.

I previously posted about Emotiva's e-Club membership. I had previously noticed a piece of wording on the main page that appeared to preclude the 30-day in home product trial. That wording could still be visible via Google's cache.
I found the wording once again and it's on the E-Club Terms and Conditions where it says, "The $49.99 annual membership fee is non-refundable The Emotiva 30-day product trial does not apply."
What the fine-print doesn't state is what the return period of equipment is.

Skeletal Muscle System
Muscle Cell
Contractile Proteins
Connective Tissue
Helps prevent the muscle activation signal from spreading to adjacent muscle fibers
Stretch-Shortening Cycle
Controlled muscle elongation (Eccentric)
Rapid muscle shortening (Concentric)
Finger on chest example
One component of the elasticity comes from the connective tissue covering the muscles
Training for force and power production
contractile unit of skeletal muscle
skeletal muscle = striated muscle
Noncontractile Proteins
Provides the structure of the contractile proteins
Also contribute to the elastic component of the muscle tissue
Titin = Connects Z line to M line, stabilizes myosin
Nebulin = Starts at Z line, runs the length of actin
Actin Filament
Two helices of actin molecules
attached to Z line
Active site = place where myosin attach
Wraps around the actin filament covering the active sites
Must be pulled away for a contraction to occur
Troponin I = Binds actin
Troponin T = Binds Tropomyosin
Troponin C = Binds Calcium
Calcium causes troponin to pull tropomyosin off the actin active sites
Myosin Filament
Globular head
hinged pivot point
fibrous tail
Two myosin molecules
Made from myosin ATPase
Different isoforms
determines fiber type
contractile characteristics of fiber
Muscle Fiber Types
Several different classifications
Fiber types are determined at birth
They can be changed a little
Fiber Type Change
Types of activity (strongest stimulus for change)
hormonal concentrations
aging - mostly losing type II
Muscle Biopsy
Make an incision into the muscle
suck some tissue into the biopsy needle
clip a portion of the muscle off
put muscle tissue into liquid nitrogen
cut a small slice of tissue in a cryo cut
Histochemical Myosin ATPase Staining
classification based on histochemica reactions of ATPase with ATP supplied in staining process
isoforms catalyze reactions at different rates, resulting in different staining intensities
Type I
Type II
Red and White fibers
Fast-Twitch and Slow Twitch
Slow Oxidative, Fast Oxidative Glycolytic, Fast Glycolytic
Type I and Type II
Type I
Slow Twitch
Reaches peak force production at a slow rate
Oxidative metabolism
rich blood supply
high mitochodrial density
fatigue resistant
contract over long periods of time with little change in force production
Well suited for endurance
Type II
Fast twitch fibers
develop force rapidly
high force production capabilities
not a lot of mitochondria
fatigue easily
From most oxidative to most glycolytic
Type I
Type IC
Type IIC
Type IIAC
Type IIA
Type IIAX
Type IIX
Myosin Heavy Chains
Myosin filament is made up of two heavy chains and two pairs of light chains
Some like to fiber type by MHC
3 Different Types
Strong correlation with histochemical
Dissolve tissue into a solution
Pull solution through a gel
Different sized pores
larger proteins stop at the top
smaller proteins make it to the bottom
Fiber Types
In animals IIb
histochemicals main fiber types
I, IIa, IIx
Very strong correlation between the characteristics of these muscles fibers
Sliding Filament Theory
The number of interactions between myosin and actin dictates the force of the contraction
Start of A Contraction
Propagation of Electrical Impulse
Impulse spreads across cell membrane
travels down transverse (T) tubules
activates Dihydropyridine receptors
activates ryanodine receptors/channels
Calcium is released
Power Stroke
Start from bound Myosin
ATP must bind to release myosin
ATP hydrolyzes to produce energy to "cock" mysoin back into place
Myosin weakly binds to actin
Pi leaves causing a tighter bond
ADP releases causing tighter bond and pull of myosin on actin
calcium is taken back into the SR to allow the muscle to relax
Returning To Resting Length
Myosin and actin interaction can only pull Z-lines together
To return to resting length an outside force must pull the muscle
antagonistic muscle
Proprioception and Kinesthetic Sense
Ability to sense motion and position
proprioceptors are receptors found in the muscles and tendons
Motor Learning
Muscle Spindles
Golgi Tendon Organs
Motor Learning
ability to repeat a specific motor unit recruitment pattern resulting in a successful performance of a skill
Muscle Spindles
Proprioceptors in skeletal muscles
monitor stretch or length of muscle
initiate contraction when stretched
makes contractions more powerful
may limit flexibility
located in intrafusal fibers
Nervous System
Intrafusal Fibers
fibers within the spindle fiber
stretch sensitive central area
sensory nerve carries impulse to the spinal cord
transfers impulse to alpha motor neurons
relay impulse to extrafusal fibers causing contraction
alpha motor neurons innervate muscle fibers that do not contain spindle fibers
gamma motor neurons innervate intrafusal fibers
spindle fibers can be lengthened and shortened to help control the muscle
Golgi Tendon Organs
Found in the tendons
When tension gets too high it inhibits muscle activation
sensory neurons from the golgi synapse with alpha motor neurons inhibiting their action
Whole body vibration
Whole Body Vibration
Increases spindle activity
Decreases Golgi activity
A lot of research showing benefits
increased strength
increased testosterone
faster recovery
improved flexibility
Types of Muscle Actions
Concentric - Shortening
Eccentric - Lengthening
load or resistance is greater than the force produced by the muscle
Isometric - Same Length
the myosin heads keep attaching and detaching at the same or close to the same active site on the actin filament
Resistance Exercise Descriptive Terms
Isotonic - same constant tension
can't happen in muscle without advanced technology
Dynamic Constant External Resistance
Resistance stays the same throughout the movement
variable velocity and constant resistance
Variable resistance
change in resistance over the range of motion
Constant velocity throughout movement
Used to measure torque at a specific velocity
Physical Therapist
test joint function
Can only be done on one joint
Doesn't translate to real life movement
Force-Velocity Curve
Force drops as velocity increases
Force increases as velocity increases
Progressive Overload
Gradually increasing the resistance or load during exercise sessions
We can also progressively overload by adjusting the volume
Limit DOMS in untrained individuals
Force x Velocity
Training heavy and slow only increases force at slower velocities
Training light and fast only increases force at higher velocities
Strength Curves
Strength increases as muscle shortens
e.g. Squat
Strength decrease as muscle shortens
e.g. Upright row (what muscles are working)
e.g. Bicep curl
Different exercises/joints/muscles begin and end and different levels of overlap between myosin and actin
Effects of Endurance Training
SAID - Specific Adaptation to Imposed Demand
Only the fibers that are recruited will adapt to the exercise
Type I fibers are recruited first in all exercises
As intensity increases then Type II will be recruited
Endurance training actually decreases the size of Type I fibers
Helps with oxygen transportation
Addition of myofibrils to existing fibers, increases muscle size
Type II fibers grow more than Type I
Type II response to resistance training
increase in the rate of protein synthesis
Type I response to resistance training
decrease in the rate of protein degradation
Nuclear Domain
Nuclear Domain
To support an increase in the size of a muscle fiber we need more myonuclei
satellite cells are found between cell membranes
damage to the muscle cell exposes the satellite cells
They then become fused into the muscle fiber
Growth of new muscle cells
Debatable idea
Bodybuilders have same size muscle cells, but larger muscles
Power lifters have more fibers showing new formation
Steroid seem to enhance this growth
Compatibility of Exercise Training
Endurance training reduces strength at high velocities (power)
Anaerobic performance may be negatively affected by endurance training
VO2 max is not compromised by heavy resistance training
Time to exhaustion at any given intensity is not negatively affected by strength training
Fiber type changes
Fiber Type Changes
Endurance Only
Type I - atrophy
Type II - no change
Strength only
All fiber types get larger
Type I - No change
Type II - get larger
Periodization and Prioritization
Periodization - varying the volume and intensity of the training
Prioritization - prioritizing what goals will be focused on in a training program

: More than 150 law enforcement officials continue to search for missing toddler Lana Bailey. Police said she was presumed dead Thursday morning, but her body has not been found.
Law enforcement officials say they believe missing 18-month-old Lana Bailey is dead, and continue to search for her remains.
Investigators say 18-month-old Lana Bailey is presumed dead, but her body has not been recovered so authorities will continue their search.http://www.kshb.com/dpp/news/region_kansas/as-search-for-answers-continues-family-of-missing-mom--daughter-fe
The search for missing 18-month-old Lana Bailey continues.
The search for 18-month-old Lana Bailey continues, despite an AMBER ALERT request for the missing girl being denied.
The family of homicide victim Kaylie Bailey are staying hope that her daughter, 18-month-old Lana Bailey, will be returned safe.
OTTAWA, Kan. - Investigators say 18-month-old Lana Bailey is presumed dead, but her body has not been recovered. More than 150 officers searched for the little girl on horseback, ATVs and foot in Franklin County on Thursday, and they say they won't stop until she's found.
Lana and her mother, 21-year-old Kaylie Bailey, were reported missing last week. Kaylie was identified as one of three homicide victims found at a rural Kansas farm earlier this week, but Lana's whereabouts are still unknown.
Kyle Flack, 27, has been arrested in the case and is awaiting formal charges, Franklin County Sheriff Jeff Richards said Thursday.
Franklin County Sheriff's officials said Wednesday they requested an Amber Alert be issued for Lana, but the Kansas Bureau of Investigation said no.
The KBI said they denied the request because it was made too late, and "utilizing the Emergency Alert System ... would not enhance coverage" in finding the little girl.
RELATED | Why was AMBER ALERT request for missing Lana Bailey denied?
Kaylie and Lana Bailey were last seen on or around May 1 at a house on Georgia Road in Franklin County, near Ottawa. Kaylie was identified Wednesday as one of the three homicide victims -- along with 30-year-old Andrew Stout and 31-year-old Steven White -- found in a barn on the property.
Kaylie's family members told 41 Action News she planned to leave Lana with Stout on Wednesday night while she worked the night shift at a security firm in Ottawa. Coworkers said she never made it to work.
RELATED | Missing mom Kaylie Bailey among homicide victims at Ottawa farm
A car Kaylie and Lana were last seen in was found Tuesday night in Emporia, along with a person who is being questioned in the homicide investigation.
Kaylie's grandfather, who lives in Olathe, reported Kaylie and Lana missing on Friday, May 3.
In a news conference Wednesday night, Kaylie and Lana's family said they're feeling numb after the events of the past few days. Lana's aunt said now that they know what happened to Kaylie, their focus had shifted to finding the little girl.
Anyone with information on her whereabouts is asked to call 911, 888-311-8477 or the KBI at 1-800-KS CRIME.
Editor's note: The Franklin County Sheriff's office initially issued a news release saying an Amber Alert had been issued, which we reported. However, the story above reflects the most recent information that a request for an alert was made -- and denied.

Move to a regulatory scheme-based on sound science. Use cost-benefit analysis in developing regulatory language.
Transportation Funding
Our roads and bridges are not only costing us millions in delays and vehicle repairs but they are dangerous as well. Fifty years is the average age for a Pennsylvania bridge and PennDOT classifies more than 4000 bridges as structurally deficient. These deficiencies cause rerouting, shipping delays, and hazardous situations on a daily basis.
The only things standing in the way of the private management of the Pennsylvania Lottery are reviews by the Attorney General, Treasurer, and Auditor General. They each have 30 days to review Governor Tom Corbett's decision to hand the administration of the Lottery over to Camelot Global Services. Their review is limited to the scope of their offices.
"The Attorney General reviews it for its legality, the Treasurer on its financials," said Jay Pagni, a spokesman for the Department of General Services. "None can review on policy."
The 2013-14 legislative session, with 23 new lawmakers, began on January 1 under a constitutional requirement that swearing in occur the first Tuesday in January. The new members will have little time to adjust to the rules and routine as they will have to embrace transportation funding, liquor privatization, another tight budget, and we at PMA hope they will tackle key business issues left over from last year.
Whose Job Is It Anyway?
The EPA is hard at work implementing regulations based on a model that can best be described as smack-down economics. A National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) study says the regulations will create a "ripple effect" through the economy and cost no less than "several million jobs and hundreds of billions of dollars." In keeping with the spirit of this new economic model, it seems it will accomplish little else.
New Report Details the Significant Economic Impact of Questionable EPA Regulations on Pennsylvania
Lawmakers sworn in on January 1st to kick off the 2013-14 legislative session have an opportunity to act with no delay on a pro-growth agenda already vetted by industry, labor, and both political parties. The agenda was approved in August by the Governor's Manufacturing Advisory Council (GMAC).
A new law that will eliminate what the bill's sponsor calls a "ridiculous amount of paper work," under the 1978 Steel Products Procurement Act, is a victory for the Pennsylvania Steel Alliance - a management/labor coalition working to keep steel jobs in America.
"We worked very closely with the bill's sponsor, State Rep. John Baer (R-Lancaster), on this one," said Chris Masciantonio, co-chair of the Alliance and General Manager, State Government Affairs, US Steel. "It's a win for us all."

Chocolate Chunk Peanut Butter Cookies are seriously the BEST thick and chewy peanut butter cookies, with lots of rich and creamy semi-sweet chocolate chunks! I have been making these peanut butter cookies for almost 25 years. And, we love them because their thick, soft and chewy, and adding big chunks of rich chocolate to the dough definitely takes them up a notch!
Is it me, or is peanut butter and chocolate quite possibly the best combination? Yes, I believe it is!
Look at all that melted chocolate goodness, I just couldn't wait to take a big bite of one of these cookies. Mmm…it was so delicious!
I've had my squeegee measuring cup for years, and it works great with ingredients like; peanut butter, honey, corn syrup and other sticky stuff. It makes measuring these types of ingredients so much easier.
I looked on Amazon, so you could get one, if you'd like, but found the same Pampered Chef squeegee measuring cup (not an affiliate link), and it was almost 1/2 the price of the one on Amazon! Hey, you know I'm always trying to show you the best kitchen products – and at the best prices too.
We bought these cute little measuring cups recently at St. Augustine, Florida, and I love them! But, you can get an adorable set for yourself here, or by clicking the image below. Unfortunately we paid a few dollars more than the ones on Amazon, but they were so cute, I just had to have them!
Make the peanut butter cookie dough. Then with the mixer on low, add the chocolate chunk pieces, saving about 1/4 cup for the tops.
Using a medium cookie scooper, put the dough on an ungreased, nonstick baking sheets about 2″ apart, and place a few chocolate chunks wherever needed.
When I was a baker at Baxter's restaurant, these Chocolate Chunk Peanut Butter Cookies were very popular. As a matter of fact, I must have made thousands of them.
Next, bake in a preheated 360 degrees F oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops start to crackle and the cookies are light golden on top.
These cookies bake up nice, and puffy and you'll know they're done when they start to crack a little on top.
*See note below if you prefer your cookies a little crispier.
Cool on baking sheets for 10-15 minutes then transfer cookies to a cooling rack, or a serving platter. Peanut butter and chocolate is iconic for Easter, you know the whole peanut butter eggs thing. So, these amazing cookies would be the perfect dessert for your Easter celebration!
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup crunchy peanut butter (we recommend Jif peanut butter)
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 2½ cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 (11.5 oz) bag chocolate chunk pieces
- Preheat an oven to 360 degrees F. I find this temperature great for most gourmet cookies.
- In a large mixing bowl cream the butter, peanut butter, sugar and salt.
- With the mixer on low, add the eggs and blend until incorporated, then mix on medium speed for a minute, and then on high speed for an additional minute. The mixture should be pale yellow and fluffy.
- Add the first cup of flour, along with the baking powder and baking soda, and mix on low speed. Continuing on low speed, add the remainder of the flour and mix on low until it disappears.
- Then add the chocolate chunks, saving about ¼ cup for the tops, and mix on low again.
- Using a medium cookie scooper, put the dough on an ungreased, nonstick baking sheets about 2" apart.
- Bake in a preheated oven 12-15 minutes, or until the tops start to crackle and the cookies are light golden.
- Cool on baking sheets for 10 minutes then transfer cookies to a cooling rack, or a serving platter.
If you prefer your peanut butter cookies a little crispier, press the dough down about ½ way. This will make the cookies a little thinner and a bit crunchy.
Store in an airtight container. These cookies also freeze well.

School of Rock is a New York Times Critics' Pick and "An inspiring jolt of energy, joy and mad skillz!" (Entertainment Weekly).
Based on the hit film, this hilarious new musical follows Dewey Finn, a wannabe rock star posing as a substitute teacher who turns a class of straight-A students into a guitar-shredding, bass-slapping, mind-blowing rock band. This high-octane smash features 14 new songs from Andrew Lloyd Webber, all the original songs from the movie and musical theater's first-ever kids rock band playing their instruments live on stage.
Vanity Fair raves, "Fists of all ages shall be pumping!"
