Coenzyme Q10 Review - 6 Things You Need to Know
Why is it that so few diet supplements actually work? Let's find out if Coenzyme Q10 is one of the good ones. We found information on the ingredient, possible side effects and research. We also chose to read hundreds of reviews and testimonials from people who've tried it. Then, we refined to give you the bottom line.
What is Coenzyme Q10?
To start off with, Coenzyme Q10 is a pseudo vitamin and antioxidant commonly used to support heart health. Despite this main function, there are dieters who feel it can help them lose weight. You take it one or twice daily, in most cases.
There are a multitude of companies that sell Coenzyme Q10. Each claims the version they're selling is the best to support heart health, however research tends to be completed on non-branded types. You can buy online from a long list of retailers, but there's no official website for the ingredient. We like the clinical support it has and some users appreciate the results, but read on…
Products Similar to Coenzyme Q10
|Mega Red Krill Oil
|True Health
|Simply Weight Loss
|Burn HD (Sample offer)
Increase in Energy – "Not Really"
Firstly, some users expected Coenzyme Q10 to boost energy, but they didn't notice that effect. "If you take a supplement with one outcome in mind and that doesn't happen, you are inevitably going to be let down," explains our Research Editor.
"Not helping with my energy level," said a customer.
"Instead of giving me a burst of energy and sense of well-being, I felt very strange and weak. Not my cup of tea I guess," offered another user.
Just as many did notice a spike in energy after starting Coenzyme Q10.
One said, "This product has definitely increased my energy level. I have been able to exercise longer and as a result have lost weight."
Another put it like this, "When she went to 3 pills per day, she felt more energized."
Scroll below for one of the best products we've seen over the last year.
Side Effects of Coenzyme Q10 – "Harmful or Mild?"
Quite a few Coenzyme Q10 side effects were reported by users. None appeared to be harmful – just irritating.
"This product gave me stomach queasiness and mild heartburn," offered one dieter.
A customer said, "I started getting headaches and having stomach issues – upset stomach, cramping, etc."
There are some positives out there from people who saw no such results.
"I have not had any side effects such as, headaches, dizziness, nausea, vision issues etc.," was one experience.
Yet another shared, "I have noticed any side effects, nothing that I can tell or may have noticed at all so I guess that is good."
We've noticed it takes something that seems quite small, like a headache, to ruin that chance of results you're looking for. If Coenzyme Q10 side effects are irritating enough, it will pass from one dieter to the next as a warning of sorts.
The Science – "Does Clinical Proof Exist?"
Coenzyme Q10 is sold as a supportive supplement for heart health. This is a sensitive category. This antioxidant will NOT replace any medications prescribed by your doctor. With that said, some research suggests it may help in patients with heart failure as a low level is sometimes associated with the condition. There's also some vague support for use with macular degeneration and aging. We also found a bit of information on using it for the treatment of obesity as a higher BMI is associated with lower levels of CoQ10.
What Users Are Saying
""Great product made with quality, natural ingredients. I read reviews before purchasing and am very satisfied. I got it to help lower cholesterol and take it along with Pantathine . Going by my blood tests, it is helping.""
""So far this product has not had any unpleasant side effects; it will take time to determine whether it is helping with my health issues. Easy to swallow, no after taste.""
""After 3 day of taking your brand of CoQ10 240 SoftGels, I noticed I am getting more energy and feel less tired in the evening.""
The Bottom Line – Does Coenzyme Q10 Work?
Are we heading out to the vitamin store right now? Well, we like the idea of adding Coenzyme Q10 to your supplement regime to support overall heart health. And, there is at least a small connection with weight-loss if you are obese. However, we are hesitant to give the green light as the proof is not as strong as it is with other, all-natural ingredients.
If you're ready to lose weight and you want to try out a supplement, our suggestion is to go with one that's directly connected to weight-loss via clinical testing, unlike Coenzyme Q10.
Among the best products we've seen this year is one called Dietspotlight . The label shows just four ingredients and all have been scientifically tested and shown to help spark metabolism. We found dieters all over the world reporting amazing results and side effects, of any kind, are few and far between.
Plus, you can try out Dietspotlight Burn as part of a Special Trial Offer because the makers are confident in the formula.Learn More About Burn HD »

ATLANTA - Warrick Dunn insists the Falcons' offense isn't built around quarterback Michael Vick.
Considering how many visits Vick makes to Atlanta's medical staff these days, Dunn and company may soon have to prove it.
Vick limped off the field with a sprained knee Sunday, the second time in four games this season the mobile and sometimes kamikaze quarterback has been sidelined by injury.
Vick should be "ready to roll" Sunday against the New England Patriots, head coach Jim Mora said Monday in his weekly press conference. An MRI exam revealed a minor sprain to the medial collateral ligament of Vick's right knee, according to a Falcons' press release.
Vick's status this week aside, his teammates recognize the quarterback's fallibility. And they are voicing confidence in the team's ability to win with backup Matt Schaub as the starter.
"He's the most explosive player in the league," defensive end Patrick Kerney said of Vick, "but we're lucky enough to have a great insurance policy in Matt Schaub."
Many Falcon players made similar comments, at least publicly, two years ago when Vick broke his leg in the preseason. Veteran Doug Johnson replaced Vick at quarterback and led the Falcons to a victory in the season opener.
Atlanta lost its next seven games and nine of its next 10, however. Vick returned for the final five games, but the Falcons still finished with a 5-11 record.
"We're not the same team we were two years ago," Dunn said. "We're not building our offense around one guy. When we're able to run the ball, it takes the pressure off any quarterback."
The Falcons rushed for 285 yards against Minnesota, 126 of those from Dunn. He ranks fifth in the NFL in rushing and is on pace for the first 1,500-yard season of his professional career.
More than 100 of the Falcons' rushing yards Sunday came from their quarterbacks, though: 58 yards from Vick and 56 from Schaub.
And if Vick goes down, defensive schemes change. Dunn and fellow tailback T.J. Duckett would see more eight-man fronts; Schaub more blitzes.
Mora said after Sunday's game he wasn't worry about Vick's status for next week because of his confidence in Schaub. The second-year pro has quite a pedigree: Schaub holds nearly every passing record at the University of Virginia and was the Atlantic Coast Conference player of the year in 2002.
Then again, Johnson was a pretty good collegian too, slinging passes for Steve Spurrier, at the University of Florida.
Mora wasn't the coach in 2003, though, Dan Reeves was. And Mora said he sees the same attitude in his players whether Vick or Schaub is in the huddle.
"Our players have confidence in Matt and not a feeling of 'Oh no, our backup is in,'" Mora said during Monday's press conference. "There is a feeling of 'Matt's in, so let us keep doing our thing.' I think that's what you have to do to have any type of consistent success in this league."

Making good on a Barack Obama campaign promise, the FCC plans to officially bar ISPs from lording over the content and data that flow through their Internet pipes.
FCC chairman Julius Genachowski, pictured, is scheduled to make the announcement Monday, various news media reported.
The news is quite good for the online video industry and its customers, both of whom gobble bandwidth and increasingly threaten traditional video media such as TV broadcasters and cable TV companies.
The Net neutrality rules are intended to prevent cablers and telcoms from denying access to potential rivals, such as online video providers and Internet phone-service providers. A lesser form of discrimination emerged with the deliberate slowing of data packets.
Obama's choice of Genachowski for the top FCC post virtually guaranteed Net neutrality would be adopted in some form. The tech-savvy chairman is a former venture capitalist who worked for Barry Diller's e-commerce company IAC/InterActive Corp.
The FCC's tilt toward neutrality predates the Obama administration, however.
Even before the president took office, the FCC strong-armed Comcast, the giant cabler and Internet service provider, into halting its practice of throttling media file-sharing activities. Comcast had been limiting the bandwidth resources given to heavy online video users. In 2005, a broadband service provider in North Carolina consented to stop blocking access to a Vonage telecommunications application.
The formal adoption of Net neutrality would give the FCC the power to shut down any similar activities by ISPs.
The outlawing of Net discrimination also helps protect against ISPs censoring specific Web sites or other online content providers.
At his confirmation hearings, Genachowski vowed to lead "a 21st century agency for the information age" that would ensure "the Internet remains robust, open and safe."

SHE knows what it takes to excel in a baking competition – so a Great British Bake Off finalist made the perfect judge for a cake competition in Portsmouth.
Kimberley Wilson came close to winning this year's title in the BBC television cooking show.
She was at the Ana Treatment Centre, in Waterworks Road, Drayton, yesterday to judge cakes cooked by clients and staff.
Joined by Lynn Goodenough, from the Good Cook Shop in Marmion Road, Southsea, Kimberley tasted and looked at the cakes to decide a winner.
The tasty baking ranged from cheesecakes and marble cakes, to cupcakes and a meringue desert.
But Kimberley and Lynn decided the winner was a citrus cheesecake.
Kimberley said: 'The winning cake looked very complicated to cook as it was two cakes put together with decorations on top.
'It was very light and the chocolate swirls on top worked very well with it.'
The winning cake belonged to Mark and Nick who are residents at the Ana Treatment Centre, which helps addicts and alcoholics.
They were delighted at winning and had never cooked a cake before.
Ana chief executive, Libby Reid, was impressed with all the clients' efforts.
She said: 'I was astounded at the quality of the cakes that the clients made. The whole thing was amazing and they really made an effort which was good considering many of them had never even cooked before, let alone baked a cake.
'I think some found it very therapeutic like a music session and it could start something. Next time maybe we will do pies.'
It was the director of the centre, Richard Johnson, who got in contact with Kimberley. He was a big follower of the Great British Bake Off and liked her style of cooking, so he tweeted her and asked her to help out.
Kimberley added: 'I was more than happy to come down because I have worked with people in similar positions to the clients here. I was happy to come along and it might have seemed a bit off-the-cuff but I had genuine interest to come down and be a judge.
'The cakes were just great.'

Telling the Time
Ethiopia is GMT/UTC+3.
Importantly, by Ethiopian reckoning all local times are 6 hours behind the time in European/Western reckoning. For example, 9:00 AM local time by Western reckoning is 3:00 AM by Ethiopian reckoning, and 12 noon by Western reckoning is 6:00 AM by Ethiopian reckoning.
Generally, unless a time is unambiguously declared to be European time, one should always assume Ethiopian reckoning is being used, and be careful to convey times in proper Ethiopian reckoning to patients to avoid confusion.
Because of Ethiopia's equatorial location, Ethiopian time is exquisitely logical: the approximate time of sunrise year-round, 6 AM by Western reckoning, is assigned to be 12 AM, so that the hour of day or night corresponds to the number of hours since sunrise or sunset. For example, 10 AM by Western reckoning corresponds to 4 AM by Ethiopian reckoning, and at that time the sun will have been up for about 4 hours.
Amharic times are differentiated analogously to "am" and "pm" by the terms "in the morning," "in the evening," or "in the night."
|in the morning
|in the evening

The Ethiopian Calendar
The Ethiopian calendar divides the year into 12 months of 30 days each and a 13th month of 5 days or 6 days during a leap year. The Ethiopian year number is eight years less than the Western (Gregorian) year number from January 1 until September 10 or 11, then seven years less for the remainder of the Western year.

Ophan is an installation incorporating a physically restrained, customized hexacopter as a mechanized cantor, flying and reciting all 28 verses of chapter 1 from the biblical book of Ezekiel.
When Ophan is at rest, with no people present at the center of the space, the hexacopter softly hums, whispers, or even sings to itself (its favorite song is "Someone to Watch Over Me"). When a presence is detected in the space, the hexacopter's rotors turn on and it takes flight, struggling against the cables that restrain it, singing and gesturing its way through all the biblical verses mentioned above, as sung in Hebrew in the Yemenite tradition by the Cantor Dan Jacobi. The Yemenite style of Cantorial singing-chanting (cantillation) is monotonous – that is, there is no melody, rather a droning recitation similar to other eastern musical traditions. The cantor who recorded the verses for Ophan tuned his voice to the pitch of the buzzing generated by the hexacopter's rotors, so that they create a harmonized droning sound when combined.
At random intervals during the flight, Ophan's chanting is interrupted by a live broadcast of the Israeli Defense Force radio station (Galei Zahal). When the broadcast takes over, Ophan's gestures change as well, it wildly flashes its lights and enters a semi-epileptic seizure. Ophan is in the air only for a short while, and thus takes many flights to finish reciting the entire chapter as it usually manages only 3-4 verses before landing again.
Ezekiel 1 is one of the main roots for a branch of Jewish Mysticism called "Merkabah mysticism". This name refers to the esoteric tradition concerned with achieving visions of the chariot of god and it's component angels, usually via a shamanic out-of-body experience. The installation is named after one of these angels in particular – the "Ophan" (a spoked wheel in hebrew). The Ophan as described by Ezekiel is essentially a mechanical being, a flying entity that is a wheel within a wheel, both of whose rims are covered with eyes. It is remotely driven by the spirit of an anthropomorphic angel, the Cherubim, that is "within it".

Installation with custom made hexacopter, control, power and sensing equipment, custom software, speaker, and lights; 2014

Mayer Brown has more than 250 lawyers ranked by Chambers worldwide and more than 150 Peer Review Rated lawyers in Martindale Hubbell.
To facilitate Chinese enterprises investing overseas, the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) issued a draft rule to relax the approval regime for outbound investments for consultation – the Draft NDRC Decision on Revising the Administrative Measures on Approval and Record-filing of Outbound Investment Projects/国家发展改革委关于修订《境外投资项目核准和备案管理办法》的决定(公开征求意见稿)(the "Consultation Draft"). The consultation period will end on 13 May 2016.
The current NDRC approval framework for outbound investments is based on the Administration Measures on Approval and Record-filing of Outbound Investment Projects/《境外投资项目核准和备案管理办法》(the "Measures") promulgated in 2014. The Measures apply to all outbound investment projects of Chinese enterprises. Compared with the regulatory guidelines prior to 2014, the Measures already marked a significant move by the Chinese government to simplify the approval and filing requirement for outbound investments, making record-filing the default rule and mandating government approval only for sensitive projects. The issuance of the Consultation Draft demonstrates the government's determination and willingness to further relax the restrictions on outbound investments.

Serena Williams' beloved dog passes away
RIP, Jackie.
Serena Williams took to Instagram on Nov. 24 to post a heartfelt tribute to her dog, Jackie. The pup, a 16-year-old Jack Russell Terrier, tragically passed away from old age, and Serena wrote about the heartbreaking experience on social media.
"Today really is hard for me. My special friend in which I got at 17 (2 weeks before I won my very first Grand Slam) left me today," Serena shared of her longtime companion. "She was 16 years young and up until a few days ago was still sprinting. Her poor body gave out this morning and she had a way of telling me it was time for me to be brave and let her go."
Jackie had been in Serena's life since 1999. Fortunately, she had her father by her side as the two said goodbye to their four-legged family member. Fans of the tennis superstar were well acquainted with Jackie, who Serena often posed with in photographs.
The coming weeks will no doubt be difficult for Serena, who concluded her tribute with a sad realization about Jackie truly being gone, and a reminder to those with pets to cherish them.
"I got out of the shower this afternoon and she was not there to lick my leg as she always did everyday to remind me how much she loved me. I feel so lucky to have such a special friend. Give your dog, cat, pet a big hug. #breakingheart #bff Jackie Baila Pete Williams I will miss you and your memory will live forever."
Serena also posted an Instagram collage of Jackie alongside her furry siblings, the tennis champ's other pups, Lauralei and Chip, ending the caption with, "thank you for the kindness and joy you brought us."

4.4 Okay
16 Jan 2018
Cons: Too much hidden cost! The first it cost me overall around 100 dollars per day.
6.4 Good
15 Jan 2018
Bait and switch
Cons: Reserved a car for noon. Got to the LONG line at the counter at 1:00. The agent said that since I was late, they didn't hold my reservation. And they didn't have any more cars in that class, so if I still wanted to rent from them, I had to upgrade to a larger vehicle. I don't know if I would have had a better experience if I'd prepaid. If so, it would have been good if the kayak reservation page had said that when they gave me the option to prepay or not. In either case, I don't intend to find out. I won't be using Fox again.
3.2 Mediocre
13 Jan 2018
Cons: The computer was broken, no receipt, no check of car for damage, employees nice but harried.
2.0 Mediocre
12 Jan 2018
Bad customer service
Cons: Booked a midsize car, by the time check-in they said we ran out, we only have full side and I have to pay for upgrade, no other choice. I don't have any choice but to paid for full-size upgrade, and take about 40min wait for the car. By the time got the car it really stink and ask for different one and employee told to go back to the counter to for exchange, look like there employee had no idea what they are doing. Took about 2 hours for me to get the car.

Very upsetting and disappointing to say the least. Pay a little more and book with larger reputable national rental companies.

Don't choose "Pay Now!"
Pros: The car itself was fine, and the price was decent.
Cons: I chose the option to pay immediately and save a few dollars. I realized this would mean my money was non-refundable, but never imagined it meant I could not change ANYTHING without paying an enormous fee. Essentially, the policy is that if you want to change anything at all after pre-paying, you have to pay a $70 cancellation fee, and then start over with a new reservation. I wanted to add a day on to my reservation (in other words, to give Fox more business and more money), and they would not let me. In addition, the line was so long at the Fox counter at the airport that we didn't leave the airport until 2 hours after our flight got in. Fox's lines have ALWAYS been long and slow in my personal experience.

I had signed up for Ford Explorer. He said it multiple times that it is not my fault nor your fault. I was unhappy that he didnt take ownership over his company issue "assigning a car online that is not available". After a long argument, i had to wait almost an hour extra to get the car i signed up for. It looked nice but after an hour or so driving it started smelling smoke aso they had sprayed it which is not good as i am allergic to smoke. I ended up bringing the car early. This will be my last time getting a car from Fox.

I explained that I, like the rest of the long line of people in line, had been waiting for them for 90 minutes and that's mostly why am 2 hours late. Also explained that it is only an estimate because flights are never exactly on time.

Then they refused to accept our SLI/CDW cover from UK, and said we were not insured unless we took their insurance - as we obviously didn't understand Californian law. Then they would only offered us a mudsize SUV, take it or leave it! And it would be $10 a day more. Then they said Kayak hadn't told me I'd have to pay $357 extra for return to a different location!!

Today I checked my charges and found out I was charged an extra $230 dollars for a total of $356.03. I had the car for less than 24 hours.

Cons: We arrived on time to the rental office the morning of our trip. Upon arrival, we noticed simple computer paper printouts of notices alerting customers that Fox does not rent to locals (within 150 miles) using a debit card. A debit card happened to be all we had and what we were planning to use that day to rent our previously reserved car. Unfortunately, we were turned away with no car for our trip. I wish we would have had notice about this policy at the time of booking or sometime between booking (about a month before our scheduled pick up day) and day of rental. It was unfair to expect us to know this policy without any kind of warning or "fine print."

Reverse Mortgage For Seniors To Purchase A New Home
Using a reverse mortgage to purchase a new home has been an option since 2009. In 2009 the Federal Housing Administration introduced the Home Equity Conversion Mortgage for Purchase (HECM), which makes it easier for seniors to purchase a new home for themselves. While the overall number of these transactions and of Americans who are reaching retirement age continues to increase, the program has been underutilized. This is a great option for seniors that are looking at owning their dream home before they pass.
How Does It Work
A reverse mortgage for purchase combines a purchase with a reverse mortgage. In these cases, a homeowner has to be at least 62 years old. This streamlined process eliminates closing costs, helping make the acquisition of a new home, condo, or FHA-approved manufactured home faster for them. On the other hand, the buyer must be able to afford property taxes, homeowners' association dues if any, insurance premiums, and other property expenses. Most of the time the buyer is use to paying these items since they have owned a home before. Many seniors use the HECM to facilitate the purchase of a new place to live without the taking on monthly mortgage payments which can be great for people on a fixed income.
While the reverse mortgage for purchase seems like an attractive alternative to conventional financing, there are a number of factors that a potential buyer should take into account before signing on the proverbial dotted line.
Down Payment
The purchaser is required to make a down payment. Often, this can be as much as 50% of the purchase price. The reason for this fees is that there is no equity in the new home purchase. It is this equity that is used in lieu of monthly payments. Additionally, these funds cannot be borrowed but can come from the sale of existing property, savings accounts, or other sources of investments or financial accounts.
Cost Factor
Using this method to purchase a new property can be complex. Homeowners will still be required to pay taxes, keep the required insurance, and maintain the parcel in order to prevent foreclosure by the lender. Because there are no monthly payments, the overall balance is higher and compound interest accrues.
Additionally, if the borrower lives long enough, the underlying equity supporting the loan could be exhausted, which may result in a demand to repay the loan early. Individuals considering this type of financial move are required to receive mandatory free counseling from a third party or agency approved by the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
Is This The Right Step To Take?
As the economic climate continues to change and evolve, options, such as the reverse mortgage for purchase, may be a viable way to find a new home. It is important to remember that this may not be right for everyone. Doing the research first and defining one's objectives is an important step in the process to ownership. Also make sure you talk to an investment or real estate attorney and asking their advice before signing any documents.

Exillon's Appraisal Extends EWS I Field in West Siberian Basin
Exillon Energy reported that the EWS-15 appraisal well has successfully proved a significant extension to the EWS I field, located in the West Siberian Basin.
EWS -15 was designed to test an 18.71 sq km northern extension to the EWS I field. The new discovery contained pre drill estimates of 18.31 million barrels of prospective resource (Miller and Lents September 2009 reserves report). The well encountered the Jurassic P reservoir at 1,827m which is 2 meters higher than previously thought. Results of wire line logging combined with oil shows and sample analysis whilst drilling, have confirmed the presence of at least 12.6m of net oil pay within the Jurassic and a potential further oil pay within the Pre Jurassic. Testing of the well will be completed by the end of February with the Jurassic and Pre Jurassic intervals being tested separately.
The well was drilled directionally 1.4km to the north from the existing EWS I field. On completion of testing the well will be able to be connected up to existing production facilities on the EWS I field.
Although drilled as a satellite to the main EWS I field this appraisal well has the potential to significantly positively impact reserves for the field. The main EWS I field has an aerial extent of 11.43 sq km whereas the new northern extension has a mapped closure of 18.71 sq km.
Whilst the average net oil pay within the EWS I field according to the Miller and Lents September 2009 reserves report disclosed at IPO is less than 5m this new well has at least 12.6m of net pay within the Jurassic, making it the thickest Jurassic net oil pay encountered within the EWS I field to date. The discovery is the result of the continued application of 3D seismic combined with a thorough understanding of reservoir geology.

As usual, she's with some Japanese hunk, and he's feeling her up, rubbing those gorgeous breasts around and around, getting a good feel in. Good on him. I bet she feels amazing, and it makes me wonder what her tits look like out of that skimpy bikini.
Holy crap! in the next scene, she's got her panties out of the way, and he's got his fingers stuck up inside her bright red pussy. She doesn't look like she can take it, obviously she's really tight and it's a feat to get anything up inside her. Sounds good! He's giving her a nice pulsating rythmn and she looks a bit unsure about it all!
Next up, comes the dick sucking. With lovely slurping sounds she wraps her lips around his big dong and gets him all hard, before he sticks up right up deep inside her from behind! What a video! Watch on to her her moan and groan as he fucks Yukina nice and hard!

Many people find a relaxing drive a wonderful way to de-stress and get rid of anxious, overwhelming feelings. Driving can be a good way to get some alone time, while giving you a chance to reconnect with nature, listen to a book, or some relaxing music.
An article from the Huffington Post lists 9 reasons that driving can be de-stressing. One of the best things a nice drive can do is allow you to get away from daily distractions and technology. Driving can also be a great opportunity to bond with friends or your partner. Chatting with friends helps to relieve anxiety, especially if you have something on your mind that you need to rant about.
Check out the slide show from the Huffington Post to see all 9 reasons driving is a great way to de-stress here:9 Reasons Driving Can Be A Great Way To De-Stress.

Be a good listener ; faith hard work and a bit of common sense
Expand Messages
- Hare Krishna Friends,Be a good listenerA slight improvement in our listening skills can pay enormous dividends in the way of better relationships, enhanced performance, and yes, even stress reduction!
Take a moment to reflect on your own listening skills. Do you truly listen to your colleagues? Do you let them finish their thoughts before you take your turn? Do you sometimes finish sentences for other people? In meetings, are you patient and responsive – or are you impatient and reactive? Do you allow words from others to sink in, or do you assume you know what the person is trying to say, so you jump in?
There are a variety of reasons why effective listening is very important. First of all, people who listen well are highly respected and sought after. Truly great listeners are so rare that when you are around one, it feels good, it makes you feel special.
Good listeners are easy to be around, so, quite naturally, you want to reach out and help them. Therefore, when you become a better listener, there will probably be plenty of people in your corner to offer assistance. People tend to be loyal to good listeners because they feel acknowledged and respected.
Effective listening helps you to understand what people are saying the first time they say it, thus allowing you to avoid a great number of mistake and misinterpretations which, as you know, can be very stressful. If you ask people what frustrates them and makes them angry, many will tell you that "not being listened to" is right near the top of their lists so, being more attentive to what others are saying also helps you avoid many, if not most, interpersonal conflicts.Faith hard work and a bit of common sense will get you through most things in life.If you are willing to look at things for what they can be, and have enough common sense to know what cant be, and if you are willing to work hard enough to see things through, life will not be anything more than a series of predictable tests waiting to be conquered. As humans it is in our nature to over complicate things, especially parts of life that we may not have the clearest understanding of already.
If we are just able to keep constant faith in God, and his ability to work through us to create the best of circumstances out of the worst of times, then we honestly have nothing to worry about.Courtesy: Priya (Group Member)

Date night: Midtown edition!
Although both my boyfriend and I work in Manhattan, it's rare that we spend much time together there: we usually head back to Brooklyn for relaxed nights at home, get-togethers with friends or date nights. It honestly feels like a whole different world, especially once we go north of 23rd Street: it's just not a place that we hang out in often.
That said, we're not traveling much in January–so we're trying to explore some new corners of New York City. We opted for a one-night staycation in Midtown Manhattan, and despite being a place that we rarely go (especially Times Square!)–we had so much fun. It's crazy how just one night away from home, complete with a late night out and a nice long sleep-in the next morning, can give you all of those recharging vacation vibes. Here's a quick peek into what we got up to in 12-ish hours in Midtown:
Dinner at Burger Joint
I've been dying to try this place ever since seeing a post on Afar about a secret burger joint: it's tucked away down a dark hallway off the Le Parker-Meridien lobby. Although the act of finding it was cool enough–I'm such a sucker for speakeasy-type places!–the burger was delicious, the beer was plentiful and the prices were reasonable. Definitely tucking this into my back pocket for the next time I'm touring out-of-towners around Midtown. (Note: credit cards are now accepted!)
The Book of Mormon
Out of all the shows on Broadway, we've both wanted to see The Book of Mormon for a very long time–but it's a pricey show. I kept thinking the price would go down or that demand would decline just a bit–and it hasn't! I splurged on tickets for my boyfriend's birthday, and I'm so glad that I did: the show was absolutely hilarious. It also just feels so fun and so fancy New York to get dressed up and go see a show! If you're looking for a play/musical to see while in the city–and you can stand some profanity–I highly recommend The Book of Mormon.
Drinks at The Plaza Hotel
I can't believe I've made it so long without going to the Plaza Hotel! We popped into the Palm Court for a nightcap: although it was super pricey, it was still such a lovely way to end the evening. I love a good glass of port to end the evening, and David tested out one of the original whiskey cocktails. Definitely worth it for the experience.
The night at Park Central Hotel
One of the best parts of staying in Midtown: not having to hop right on the subway after the show for a 45-minute trip home. The weather certainly cooperated (no snow, and the temperatures hovered in the high 40's), and it made it very comfortable to walk around. We stayed at the Park Central Hotel, which was conveniently located between Times Square and Central Park. The view of all the skyscrapers and water towers felt so far from our apartment in Brooklyn–it's so funny to think that it's technically in the same city!
Morning joe at Ralph's Coffee
Ralph's Coffee is another place I've been wanting to try for a long time: the surprisingly cute coffee shop tucked away in the second floor of the Ralph Lauren flagship on Fifth Avenue. Because we'd slept in so late, we opted for cappuccinos AND sandwiches–and both were delicious. A real gem of a cafe in the heart of Midtown! Side note: I haven't worn anything Ralph Lauren in ages (maybe ever?), but my very brief glimpse at the clothes had me thinking that I might need to go back for a pure shopping trip.
Do you have any recommendations for our next date night in Midtown? Any places that you're wanting to try?

Applying for Hong Kong jobs
Applying for Permanent Hong Kong Jobs
For those residing overseas and applying for Hong Kong jobs there will be a lot of employer reservations that you need to overcome. If you are being transferred and are a known and trusted quantity, you will probably find that more is taken on trust and you may get offered better contract terms than an external hire.
If you are the external hire being brought in from outside of Hong Kong you will find that employers will want to be fully assured of your commitment and will want to mitigate risk and up-front employment costs.
Employers offering Hong Kong jobs are usually concerned with:
- Will you be committed to Hong Kong and why?
- What do you offer over someone they could hire locally?
- How long do you want to live in Hong Kong (overseas) and/or stay with the company?
- What is the cost premium, if any, and how does that (i) align with internal scales and protocols (ii) demonstrate a return-on-investment to the business and (iii) allow the employer to mitigate their risk?
As a result, HR and senior management will want to be assured that you:
- Are committed to Hong Kong specifically.
- Have skills unavailable locally.
Factors that will give an employer assurance, or not are:
- Want to be here long enough to provide them with a return on their investment and that they can meet your expectations over that period, so you don't leave your Hong Kong job prematurely.
- Bring quantifiable benefits to the business and that the risk factors are identified, so they can be mitigated.
- Have you lived, worked in or visited Hong Kong? If you come from a Sales or Executive Management background, an employer will want see that you have an extensive local network that you can tap into so the burden of local knowlede/experience will be a lot higher than if you are, say coming to HK to deliver IT projects.
- Do you have family ties to Hong Kong (experience and support network), or local language capability (Cantonese or regional languages)?
- Particularly if you don't have the local experience, have you done your research and made yourself prepared for the relocation? What are the downsides and risks for your family and how will you mitigate and deal with them?
Top Tips: When applying to Work in Hong Kong
- Apply to people, not just to jobs or to organizations – recruiters regularly advertising relevant to jobs and leaders running areas of organisations that would be of interest.
- If a Recruiter has a relationship, leverage that rather applying online or connecting via LinkedIn, otherwise you will have no differentiation from other candidates. You can't apply directly and then go through a recruiter if you don't get a response.
- Apply to people through referral, using LinkedIn as a last resort. Ask them for referrals. Expect to have to follow up for a response and be open to arranging a meeting.
- If you have enough people to meet, take a trip to Hong Kong to show you are serious.
Top Tips: When introducing yourself by email identify:
- What you want to do, not just what you have done.
- How you are most likely to stand out from job candidates already here and pitch yourself accordingly.
- Why you are interested in HK, a role or an organisation specifically.
- That you have done your research by reflecting market rate in your expectations and confirm that you are looking for a hire on local terms.
- Is the motivation behind the job/relocation about the challenge, the opportunity, lifestyle or 'just money'?
- Are the family informed of the adjustments and compromises necessary? What are the risks associated with a spouse who can't settle, kids who can't easily get school places or aged relatives at home that may require you to return?
- Are you a cultural fit to the organization and to Hong Kong? Do you 'know what you don't know' and what is your process for figuring that out? Will you seek counsel before you hit problems or deal with problems as you create or encounter them?
- Can the employer meet you (and sometimes your spouse too), before they make the hire? Can you be available in Hong Kong at your expense, or is the cost/risk all on the employer? These might be the questions that get you into an interview process – they aren't the questions that will get you through the final stage of interviews. The hiring manager will be reluctant to sponsor you through a series of interviews, not really knowing the person who will turn up at the final stage. Also, making yourself personally available reflects on how committed you are and how seriously you take your own career due diligence and risk mitigation.
- What are your financial expectations and do you show market awareness and self awareness around them? Do you have empathy around compromise, or is it all on your terms?
- Do you fully understand expectations around Hong Kong jobs? For example, long hours and lot's of traveling means a LOT more than elsewhere in the world.
If you want to know why is it this hard to get Hong Kong jobs, read about the Hong Kong workplace.
Applying for Contract Hong Kong Jobs
There is virtually no 'premium rate' freelance-contract market here. Most contract Hong Kong jobs offer packages with statutory minimum benefits, the same pay as an equivalent permanent Hong Kong job over a fixed term duration.
The burden of proof over your commitment therefore tends to be impossibly high, because the company isn't offering any sugar coating to justify that. Therefore, risk mitigation comes into play and you may find that some of your pay is put into an end-of-contract bonus to ensure you stay and complete the work.
Getting your application and your resume right
When your employer asks HK Immigration to grant a work visa, they need to justify hiring you and taking the position out of the local labour market. You will need to:
- Be reasonably senior/well paid.
- Provide evidence of relevant work experience. Don't bother trying to reinvent yourself unless it's due to a change in job nature after you have been employed. Many recruiters and hiring managers are looking for a hire that is moving relatively laterally, so they can be assured that you have a track history of managing similar responsibilities. Refer to my blog.
- Show a sufficiently strong education and evidence of previous employment to support your case.
In practice, fresh graduates would struggle to make a case and senior, experienced hires rarely struggle even if they aren't graduates.
Assuming that you are targeting roles for which you are qualified and that allow your employer to make the appropriate case, the points to bear in mind are that your resume must:
- Reflect the experience required in the job description and be honest.
- Address some of the issues raised above so you can differentiate yourself from the dreamers who apply from overseas.
- Be sufficiently detailed for the reader to form an opinion as to whether you are worth considering. A US-style resume leaves too many unanswered questions, so you just won't get a call.
- Know what the reader is likely to be looking for and emphasize accordingly. If you are a technical Project Manager, it is the Project Management that will possibly justify hiring an expat in Asia.
Finally, it's about perseverance which shows commitment to coming to Hong Kong. Decision and interview timelines are long. Hong Kong jobs get closed and requirements change. Concentrate on building rapport with the hiring manager or recruiter, not on specific Hong Kong jobs.

Fly Over Vegas
2 comments:
Sounds like Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg to me. I worked there, summer of my junior year at Belhaven, and stayed with my uncle. It's a nice, family oriented place. You'll have to come and stay at my aunt's house and we'll travel around and show you the town. My aunt is very near a Cracker Barrel; a necessity for us family types.
- September 17, 2006 at 8:35 PM
I'd love to, J. Ironically, after reading your comment, I ran across the following story about Gatlinburg. Its mayor, Don Wright, allowed a film crew to use his office for two hours. Although he was apparently assured that it was a family-friendly flic, it turned out to be Thong Girl 3. I'm sure that he's getting his fill of ribbing.

Dewsbury Rams look set to have influential second rower Rob Spicer available for the Kingstone Press Championship visit of in-form Doncaster on Sunday (3pm).
Spicer suffered a rib injury in Dewsbury's defeat to Leigh on May 11 and has missed the last five Rams matches.
Coach Glenn Morrison is delighted the experienced Spicer came through full contact training unscathed and the back rower is set to be included in Sunday's squad.
Morrison said: "We have had four or five of our first pick players missing and when you are playing the top teams, this leaves you behind the eight-ball a bit.
"It will be good to have Rob back and its crucial we have our best players back for the back end of the year.
"Spicer helps provide competition for places and keeps others on their toes."
Doncaster have won three and drawn one of their last four matches and lie third in the Championship after last week's 22-22 draw at Featherstone.
Morrison added: "Doncaster are playing well, they have a good squad, who play for each other but it's important that we get something out of the game."
Morrison has also been linked with the coaching position at Bradford Bulls, following the shock sacking of Dewsbury-born Francis Cummins this week.
Morrison was flattered to be linked with the post, saying: "I love Bradford and I want to see them back where they belong but I also love it here at Dewsbury and there has been no approach from the Bulls.
"The club have said they wouldn't stand in my way if a Super League club approached but there is a job to do here at the Rams and I want to make sure we continue moving up and carrying on the work we have started."

When we think of the fall, we think about flavors…
Autumn Daiquiri
Most people don't really think of daiquiris as being a fall cocktail, so it was a bit surprising to see a drink called the Autumn Daiquiri on the pages of Death & Co., as we flipped through the newest addition to our cocktail book collection. The drink doesn't use an specifically fall ingredients like pumpkin or apple, but the recipe notes that it does have a distinct apple flavor to it that makes it the perfect daiquiri for fall gatherings. Of course, we definitely drink daiquiris all year round, however it is nice to have drinks that match the seasons – especially when it comes to seasonal entertaining – and we were eager to give it a try.
The apple flavor in the drink comes from Mount Gay Estate rum. It is one of those flavor notes that you might not pick out until it is suggested to you, but once you know it is there, it really stands out. It's a fresh, sweet apple flavor, not the tart Granny Smith that you often find in pies. The Death & Co. recipe used a homemade cinnamon bark syrup to infuse a little spice into their daiquiri, but we used our own spiced simple syrup, which includes cinnamon, cloves and vanilla bean. They also called for a dash of Angostura bitters, however we felt that worked against our syrup and really preferred the drink without it. Instead, we grated a little bit of cinnamon on top of the drink just before serving to add some spice to the nose.
It's definitely a nice variation on a daiquiri that has just the right touch of spice, and it is a great holiday drink when you're looking for something seasonal with a tiki twist!
Autumn Daiquiri
2 oz Mount Gay Eclipse Rum
1/2 oz lime juice
1/2 oz pineapple juice
1/2 oz Spiced Simple Syrup
cinnamon, for garnish
Combine all ingredients in a mixing glass and fill with ice. Shake vigorously and strain into a coupe. Grate a little cinnamon on top.
Serves 1

2010 Chevrolet Malibu: $3,000 cash back (up to $5,000 dealer incentive), or 0% APR financing for 60 months
The Chevy Malibu has become an also-ran in the hotly-contested midsize sedan market. That's sad, because it deserves better. Hansdome exterior lines, a sharp two-tone interior and the pyschological comfort on OnStar make it worthy of a look before you put down money on an Accord or Camry. This weekend, Chevy will make it easier with aggressive cash incentives that could take a huge chunk out of the cost of the vehicle. Take the $3,000 cash back, and talk the dealership into sharing their incentive with you, and you could walk away with a new car for a great price.

2010 Nissan Altima Hybrid: $4,500 cash back, or 0% APR for 60 months
Did you know Nissan made a hybrid? You can be forgiven if you didn't. Available in only nine states, it's an easy car to overlook. But the Altima hybrid pairs the Altima's taut handling with the fuel-economy of a hybrid powerplant sourced from Toyota to produce a smart and fun family car. The only problem, besides scarcity, has been the price. But price isn't much of a problem this Labor Day weekend, thanks to a pair of deep incentives.


text: I'm a fan of Chinese Vegetarian takeout and have been buying it at various locations over the years. Never sure where it is made as I often suspect they are not made on premise. I've bought recently from T&T in Markham (prepackaged, not from the week-end on-site vendors) and find it OK, but I thought I had discovered a much better place in the Market Village "Snack Stop" about 6 months ago. Yesterday, I got some from that same place and was severely disappointed...too salty and something off with the oil...I will be throwing it out. So what's the scoop here? Oh, years ago I took out from a Vegetarian restaurant on Midland near Passmore and I remember it was OK too.
