Egypt charges former Mubarak ally with corruption

CAIRO (AP) ? Egypt's state news agency says prosecutors have charged one of deposed leader Hosni Mubarak's most trusted men with corruption.

MENA quoted a judicial official as saying on Wednesday that Safwat el-Sherif, Mubarak's minister of information for nearly two decades, illegally appropriated villas, lands and apartments originally owned by the state. The official said Sherif had also received gifts worth millions of Egyptian pounds from chief editors in the state media in return for keeping them in their positions.

The charges are the latest allegation to emerge about Mubarak's regime, whose reputation for corruption was one of the main drivers behind the uprising that forced him from power last year.

El-Sherif, the official says, will have to pay 600 million Egyptian pounds in fines ? nearly $100 million.

Portland Opera holds free chorus rehearsal in Director Park ...

If you like opera choruses -- and who doesn't? -- get to Director Park in downtown Portland Sunday afternoon, Sept. 9. The loud and lusty Portland Opera Chorus will hold forth at its annual outdoor rehearsal.

Opera choruses are among the liveliest music written -- think the "Anvil Chorus" from "Il Trovatore," the enormous swell of voices in "Aida," the "Brindisi" drinking chorus in "La Traviata."

The rehearsal goes from 3 to 5 p.m., Sept. 9. Director Park is behind the Fox Tower, between S.W. Taylor and Yamhill and 9th and Park.

Interim Assistant Conductor & Chorus Master Michelle Alexander will lead the 65-voice group.

5 GOP convention moments to remember

Can they top this? As Republican delegates gather again, check out five memorable moments from their past national conventions:

1912: At one of the most tumultuous of GOP gatherings, former President Theodore Roosevelt challenges sitting President William Howard Taft for the nomination. Taft survives, and Roosevelt bolts to start the progressive Bull Moose Party.

1952: With the nomination up in the air, the defeated nominee of 1948, Thomas Dewey, pushes Gen. Dwight Eisenhower for the job. Sen. Everett Dirksen disagrees and angrily assails Dewey, pointing him out on live TV and declaring, "We followed you before, and you took us down the path of defeat!" The delegates decide they like Ike anyway.

1988: Nearing the end of his second term, President Ronald Reagan bids an emotional farewell and harkens back to his movie career as he urges Vice President George H.W. Bush: "Go out there and win one for the Gipper."

1992: First lady Barbara Bush launches a new tradition of wives speaking to talk up the candidates' personal sides: "When one of the boys hit a baseball through the Vanderhoff second-story window, I called George to see what dire punishment should be handed out. And all he said was, 'The Vanderhoff second-story window, what a hit!'"

1992: Mary Fisher, infected with HIV, pleads with her party and the nation: "We have killed each other with our ignorance, our prejudice and our silence. ... Learn with me the lessons of history and of grace, so my children will not be afraid to say the word 'AIDS' when I am gone."

High waves pound seawall in Yonabarucho, Okinawa Prefecture, southern Japan, Sunday afternoon, Aug. 26, 2012.

(AP) ? Typhoon Tembin, which drenched southern Taiwan last week before going out to sea, appeared to be looping back Monday for another run at the island.

The revisit comes after another storm about 1,200 miles (750 miles) to the northeast, Typhoon Bolaven, lashed the Japanese island of Okinawa on Sunday night. It injured five people and left 66,500 households without power as of Monday afternoon, but did less damage than feared before moving north into the East China Sea.

Bolaven could affect coastal areas of South Korea by Tuesday, weather officials said.

Taiwan's Central Weather Bureau predicts that Tembin will make landfall early Tuesday in the same part of southern Taiwan where it dumped more than 500 millimeters (20 inches) of rain three days ago.

Tembin, packing winds of 119 kph (75 mph), would likely skirt the eastern Taiwanese coast before moving northward toward the Chinese mainland, the bureau said.

Disaster officials in Okinawa were relieved that Bolaven, which was billed to be the strongest storm to hit the southern Japanese islands in several years, ended up being weaker than expected.

Okinawa authorities reported no major damage Monday aside from the blackouts. Officials in the nearby Amami islands said they had reports that some houses were damaged, but information was still being collected.

Many schools and government offices were closed because of the blackouts.

Buses were not running Monday, but Naha Airport, serving Okinawa's capital, began functioning again, with 89 domestic flights operating and about 30 cancelled.

It wasn't immediately clear if ferry service had restarted amid still rough seas.

As Bolvaen, the 15th storm of the season, approached Okinawa on Sunday, the Japan Meteorological Agency said wind speeds near the center of the typhoon were about 180 kph (112 mph), with gusts reaching 252 kph (155 mph), possibly equaling or surpassing past records for the area.

But public broadcaster NHK reported that the gusts measured on Amami island north of Okinawa, reached just 140 kph (87 mph).

Okinawa disaster authorities said five people were hurt, including one 75-year-old woman who broke her hip when winds knocked her over.

As of Monday afternoon, 56,700 households were without electricity on Amami island, while 9,800 households on Okinawa were still lacking power.

Passive smoking increases platelet activation in healthy people

ScienceDaily (Aug. 25, 2012) ? "It is well known that passive smoking is harmful for cardiovascular health, but the mechanism has not yet been discovered," said Dr Kaya. "We investigated the effects of passive smoking on the levels of three parameters -- mean platelet volume (MPV), carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) and lactate -- in an effort to further understand this mechanism. We also looked at the correlation between the three parameters."

Mean platelet volume (MPV) is a well established indicator of platelet activation that is increased in acute thrombotic events. It is suspected that carbon monoxide (CO) plays a major role in cigarette smoke-induced cardiovascular diseases. When CO binds with hemoglobin (Hb) in red blood cells it is called COHb. Lactate accumulates in the blood when the supply of oxygen to blood cells is limited.

For the study, 55 healthy nonsmoker volunteers (males 30%; mean age 26?5 years) were prospectively enrolled. Blood samples for measurements of MPV, COHb and lactate were taken at baseline and after spending one an hour in a smoking room.

The blood levels of all three parameters were statistically higher after subjects were exposed to passive smoking. COHb increased from 0.8?0.3% at baseline to 1.2?0.4% after one hour in a smoking room (p=0.001). Lactate increased from 0.70?0.2mmol/L to 2.2?0.9mmol/L (p=0.001). MPV increased from 7.8?0.4 femtolitres (fL) to 8.5?0.6fL (p= 0.001). Dr Kaya said: "These results show that passive smoking increases platelet activation and increases CO and lactate levels in the blood."

The researchers found significant correlations between MPV and COHb levels (r= 0.55, p=0.0001) and between MPV and lactate levels (r= 0.65, p=0.0001) after smoking. There was also a remarkable relation between COHb and lactate levels after smoking (r= 0.78, p=0.0001). Dr Kaya said: "Previous studies have suggested that the chemicals in cigarette smoke, especially nicotine and CO, increase platelet-activating factor. The correlations found in our study suggest that the CO in cigarette smoke also increases MPV levels. It is likely that lactate levels increased because oxygen levels in the blood dropped as CO increased."

He concluded: "We have shown that 1 hour exposure to passive smoking increases platelet activation, which could be the mechanism by which it contributes to increased risk of thrombotic events in healthy people. It is likely that prolonged exposure to passive smoking could have even greater effects. Healthy people should avoid exposure to passive smoking so that they do not increase their risk of thrombotic events."

Making Smart Drink Choices | Happy Food, Healthy Life

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

Alright friends, so it?s Friday. Just hours from the start of your weekend. Or maybe your weekend has already begun. Either way, one of my favorite ways to wind down from a stressful week is with an ice cold beverage?of some sort.

Let me tell what drinking used to look like for me back in my younger years (which were also my disordered eating years). I would wake up Friday or Saturday morning and start figuring out what was going on for the evening festivities. As soon as I realized there would be alcoholic consumption involved, I would automatically get in the mindset of ??no more food for this girl!? You and I both know how quickly alcohol calories can add up. If you aren?t careful, before you know it, you can rack up your daily recommended intake just in drinks for the night. And you wonder where your freshman 15 came from?

Well let me give you a few tips that allow you to still have a drink or two without feeling like you can?t eat all day. If a beverage is something you care to partake of, you should be able to enjoy it without feeling guilty.

source: original artwork

  • Drink wine. It?s lower in calories.
  • Drink liquor. By itself. It?s low in calories.
  • If you can?t do without your mixed drinks, consider diet tonic, sodas, juices, etc. WebMD offers?this list of low-calorie mixers.
  • If diet mixers aren?t an option, most martinis are low on calories (apart from the obvious, like chocolate martinis)
  • Gin and tonic is not bad (around 200 calories), but the tonic can add up fast.
  • Light beer is healthier than your favorite pale ale. Shocker!
  • If you want to compare your favorite drinks, head over to web site?Get Drunk Not Fat.
  • Once you have more than two drinks, you?re already in ?unhealthy? territory. If it?s a simple social gathering and not a wild night out, the healthiest thing will be to cut yourself off after a couple.
  • Try switching between alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks throughout the night. Sparkling water with a squeeze of citrus can be refreshing, and it has the added benefit of not looking like a buzz kill.

One of my favorite tricks for keeping calories low is Crystal Light drink mixes. Yup, those little calorie-free packets of flavorful powder that you pour in water. You just whip up a glass of that and add your favorite liquor. Rum, whiskey, and vodka are the best with the mixes, in my opinion. That way, you are only taking in the calories from the liquor, and not the mixers. Mixers are where you will generally see the calories add up, but not in this case.

Now, I am no way saying that drinking is necessarily?healthy so don?t get me all twisted up here. But I am an advocate of enjoying the things that you love, and for me and many others, a glass or two is something I enjoy. No longer are the days where I have to starve myself in order to enjoy a cold Becks beer.

Besides, the hangovers were pretty darn horrid without any food to soak up the alcohol. Not a game I would suggest to anyone!

Summer is, sadly, almost over. Enjoy the weekend. Crack up a cold one and take it all in!

Wondering where to go from here?

* Let?s be friends on Facebook

* Take a quick 6-question survey to tell me what you want from this blog

* Make a chocolate cake this weekend

Tropical Storm Isaac hits Cuba after drenching Haiti

HAVANA (Reuters) - Tropical Storm Isaac battered eastern Cuba on Saturday on its way toward the Florida Keys after its torrential rains and gusty winds left six dead in Haiti, which is still recovering from a devastating 2010 earthquake.

Roiling seas spilled onto land along the Cuban coast, forcing the evacuation of several thousand people, while others were moved from areas along rivers ahead of possible flooding.

Up to eight inches of rain had fallen in some spots and more was expected as the expansive storm swept northwest en route to the Florida Keys, where hurricane warnings have been posted, and the Gulf of Mexico.

Fueled by warm Gulf waters, it was forecast to strengthen into a Category 2 hurricane with 100-mph (160-kph) winds and hit the U.S. coast somewhere between the Florida Panhandle and New Orleans at midweek.

Isaac's march toward the Gulf comes as U.S. Republicans prepare to gather in Tampa, on Florida's central Gulf Coast, for the start of their national convention this week, ahead of the November presidential election.

Energy operators in the Gulf of Mexico were shutting down offshore oil and gas rigs before Isaac arrives.

The storm could spur short-term shut-downs of 43 percent of U.S. offshore oil capacity and 38 percent of its natural gas output, according to forecasters at Weather Insight, an arm of Thomson Reuters. See a FACTBOX at:.

In its latest advisory, the National Hurricane Center in Miami said the storm's ill-defined center was just off Cuba's northeast coast 80 miles east-northeast of the city of Camaguey and 375 miles east-southeast of Key West, speeding along at 20 miles per hour.

Maximum winds were near 60 miles per hour, the center said.

Cuban authorities said waves up to 13 feet and flooding had damaged houses along the coast and winds had toppled power and phone lines in some places.

So far, no deaths or injuries had been reported, which is not unusual in Cuba where the communist government is quick to evacuate its citizens before storms.

Cuban forecasters warned that flooding could spread as Isaac was expected to hug the northern coast on its way toward Key West, which lies 90 miles across the Florida Straits.

Baracoa, the island's easternmost city, appeared to be the hardest hit with Cuban television reporting damages to 50 buildings and downed power and phone lines.

CRASHING WAVES, HEAVY RAINS

Waves crashing over the city's malecon, or sea wall, in combination with heavy rains, had flooded the seaside boulevard and homes and commercial buildings nearby.

"This has been terrible. The intrusions of the sea have filled up the coastal boulevard. It's raining a lot and the floods have destroyed homes and a child care center," said Baracoa resident Ricardo Alba.

"The sea is furious, truly fierce," he told Reuters by telephone.

Isaac's rain and winds lashed Haiti's southern coast earlier on Saturday, flooding parts of the capital, Port-au-Prince, and ripping through flimsy resettlement camps that house more than 350,000 survivors of the 2010 earthquake.

A 10-year-old girl was killed near Port-au-Prince when a wall fell on her and a woman in the southern coastal city of Jacmel was crushed to death when a tree fell on her house, government officials said.

Civil protection officials said the death count now totaled 6 and more than 14,000 people had been evacuated, most of them to shelters. Many main roads were blocked or impassable.

At a tent camp in the seaside slum of Cite Soleil, corrugated plastic shacks were broken apart and water gushed in.

"We had never seen anything like this. Everyone fled to the church, but I didn't want to leave my home. All my things are wet," said Edeline Trevil, 47, who survived with her cat.

"I'm cold! I've been wet since last night," the shoeless woman added.

POWER OUTAGES AND FLOODING

The storm caused power outages and flooding and blew off roofs as it moved across the hilly and severely deforested Caribbean country. Winds had died down by Saturday afternoon but forecasters said rains would continue in Haiti.

So far, damage had been less than feared, said George Ngwa, Haiti spokesman for the United Nations Office of Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs. "Fortunately there are no reports of serious damage," he said.

Flooding and mudslides were still a threat in Haiti, where many people scrape by on less than $1 a day in the poorest country in the Americas. Flooding could also reignite a cholera epidemic, which has killed more than 7,500 people in Haiti since the disease first appeared in October 2010, aid workers said.

In the Dominican Republic, Isaac felled power and phone lines and left at least a dozen towns cut off by flood waters. Nearly one million people were without power, emergency officials said.

The most severe damage was reported along the south coast, including the capital Santo Domingo.

In Florida, Governor Rick Scott declared a state of emergency, an administrative step aimed at streamlining disaster preparations.

Emergency managers urged tourists to leave the Florida Keys if they could do so safely. A single road links the chain of low-lying islands to the Florida Peninsula and the Key West airport was expected to halt flights on Saturday evening.

At Cape Canaveral on Florida's east coast, squalls from the storm delayed until next week the launch of a pair of NASA satellites to study Earth's radiation belts.

Isaac has drawn especially close scrutiny because of the Republican Party's convention, during which former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney will receive the party's presidential nomination.

Party officials said the convention would convene on Monday as scheduled, but then recess until Tuesday afternoon.

Hurricane Center meteorologist Matt Sardi said Tampa could be hit by coastal flooding, storm surge and driving winds and rain.

"That looks like the main threat at this point," he said.

College 101: The Best Football Stadiums, Easy Dorm Meals and More

The line of fans seemed to extend for miles, wrapping along the perimeter of the stadium. Students covered in cardinal and gold face paint yelled and cheered, reciting odes to their beloved team. Young children in pint-sized jerseys galloped ahead of their grandparents, an older generation of fans sporting team caps worn down by years of loyalty. I stepped past security and through the threshold of the stadium, entering a completely foreign and exciting world. It was the start of freshman year and my first college football game ever. Little did I know that after just one afternoon in the Coliseum, I would join the ranks of those diehard fans for a lifetime.

Orthorexia: An Eating Disorder Under The Guise of Health ...

Orthorexia: An Eating Disorder Under The Guise of Health


Medterms.com defines Orthorexia Nervosa as, "A term designating a disorder in which there is an unhealthy obsession with healthy eating, an extreme dedication to extreme diets that can starve the body of basic?nutrition. The emphasis (or overemphasis) is on the quality, not the quantity, of?food?in the diet."

Undoubtedly, America is in a state of crisis. We're in the thick of a national obesity epidemic.

Since many members of our society find it difficult to regulate or purify their diets, we tend to admire those with consistently healthy eating habits. Thus, Orthorexia may be easier to conceal than eating disorders such as anorexia, bulimia, and binge-eating disorder. In fact, we may praise or look up to Orthorexics -- idolize their?all-natural/whole foods/organic diets. ? ??

Orthorexia is a caricature of dietary health -- the right principles, taken way too far.

Although those who suffer from Orthorexia may not binge-eat, purge, or restrict their caloric intake to the point of starvation, Orthorexia is a dangerous disorder in its right. The compulsive quality underlying Orthorexia matches the compulsive quality underlying all other eating disorders.

Where does one draw the line between Orthorexia and a healthy occupation with maintaining clean eating??

I underwent treatment for EDNOS (Eating Disorder Not Otherwise Specified) -- a combination of bingeing, restricting, and exercise-purging -- three years ago. From what I've observed and experienced... when flexibility, compromise, balance, and moderation fly out the window,?there's cause for alarm.?

Please note: Orthorexia may be an outcropping of another eating disorder -- a substitute disorder masquerading as health-consciousness.

Those struggling with Orthorexia may spend an excessive amount of time planning or preparing healthy meals and snacks.

Although Orthorexics may or may not be underweight, many suffer from nutritional deficiencies.?

Ultimately, a need for strict control exists at the root of every eating disorder; Orthorexia is certainly no exception. ?

If you're comfortable speaking up -- have you ever suffered from Orthorexia? Where do you draw the line between Orthorexia and a healthy occupation with clean eating? ?

There and Back Again: #SundaySupper Chicken Florentine

Today?s #SundaySupper celebrates the marriage of food and
wine?a match made in heaven! All of today?s bloggers made dishes either paired
with a specific wine or with wine in the recipe. Or, like me, both! (After all,
if the wine is in the dish then it also tastes wonderful in the glass.) And
some of our group used specific wines from the Schlossadler Family of Wine and The Wine Club by Schlossadler Wines. Many people are a bit intimidated at the thought of matching food with wine, especially when faced with the wide selection available at a shop, store, or online. For almost three years I wrote a food and wine column for a New Hampshire newspaper. I?m no expert, by any means, but local wine shop owners are, and they are happy to give advice and suggestions.

The old rule of red wine with beef and white wine with chicken and fish is a good place to start, but it doesn?t always hold true. The key is balance. The wine you choose should not overpower the food, and vice versa. For example, a heavy red wine would completely overwhelm a lovely piece of fish or a lightly seasoned chicken dish. And a crisp white wine would be wasted if served with robust roast beef.

?????

Another good tip is to match the dish?s country of origin with a wine from that same country. For example, Italian foods go nicely with Italian wines, and so on.


I typically drink red wines?Pinot Noir, Shiraz, and Cabernet Sauvignon. However, my favorite white variety is an Italian Pinot Grigio, a light, dry, crisp wine with a hint of citrus. It pairs well with seafood, creamy pasta dishes, and one of my favorite recipes, Chicken Florentine, both as an ingredient and as the meal?s beverage-of-choice.

Chicken Florentine is an elegant dish thanks to its lovely wine and cream sauce flavored with shallots and garlic. However, it is also easy to prepare! I?ve made it many times as a weeknight dinner. Traditionally, the chicken is served of a bed of sauteed spinach, but I?ve also served it with buttered noodles for those who aren?t fans of Popeye?s favorite vegetable. ????

Chicken Florentine
Adapted from a Food Network recipe from Giada De Laurentis

18 ounces fresh baby spinach

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons olive oil
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Flour, for dredging
1 large shallot, thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 1/2 cup dry white wine (I used Pinot Grigio.)
1 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon chopped fresh Italian parsley, plus more for garnish

In a large skillet over medium heat, place 1 tablespoon each of the butter and olive oil. Once the butter is melted, saute the baby spinach until just wilted and tender. Place into a small bowl and cover with foil to keep warm.

Sprinkle the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, and then dredge in the flour to lightly coat. Shake off the excess flour. In the same skillet, add another 1 tablespoon each of butter and olive oil until the butter melts. Add the chicken and cook until brown, about 5 minutes per side. Place the chicken on a plate and cover with foil to stay warm.

Continuing in the same skillet, melt the remaining butter and olive oil. Add the shallots and garlic and saute until the shallots are translucent, about 1 minute. Pour in the wine, stirring to scrape up the brown bits in the pan, and bring to a boil. Simmer until the liquid has reduced by half, about 3 minutes. Add the cream and continue to boil until the sauce reduced by half again, about another 3 minutes. Add the parsley, plus salt and pepper to taste. Return the chicken to the skillet, turning to coat in the sauce.

To plate, place a mound of the spinach in the center of each plate. Place a chicken breast on top of the spinach and then spoon sauce over the top. Garnish with a bit of chopped parsley.

Sony also explained that the update will take a few weeks to finish up as it hits various global markets. It's not clear if there is any particular order to the deployment or when those of us in the U.S. will see our Ice Cream Sandwich.

Looking ahead, Sony said as well that the next models to get the Android 4.0 treatment will be the Sony Xperia U, Xperia Sola, and the Xperia Go.

Ryan denied stimulus while quietly seeking it

Republican vice presidential candidate, Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis. gestures during a campaign stop at Walsh University in North Canton, Ohio, Thursday, Aug. 16, 2012. (AP Photo/Tribune Review, Justin Merriman ) PITTSBURGH OUT

(AP) ? Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan on Thursday denied for a second time that he ever lobbied the government for stimulus money, even though he sent letters ?with his signature ? to the Energy Department and Labor Department asking for millions of the program's dollars on behalf of two companies in Wisconsin.

Ryan's new denial in an interview with Cincinnati's WCPO-TV contradicts letters that Ryan wrote in 2009 to Energy Secretary Steven Chu and Labor Secretary Hilda Solis seeking stimulus grant money for two Wisconsin energy conservation companies. One of them, the nonprofit Wisconsin Energy Conservation Corp., later received $20.3 million from the Energy Department to help homes and businesses improve energy efficiency, according to federal records.

The congressman's denial comes as new audio surfaced of Ryan telling Boston's WBZ Radio two years ago that he "did not ask for stimulus money," in response to a caller's question about the recovery program. "I'm not one who votes for something and then writes to the government to ask them to send us money," Ryan said. The exchange was first reported Thursday by The Boston Globe.

But a year earlier, Ryan asked Chu to set aside funds for the Wisconsin Energy Conservation Corp. Ryan said the stimulus cash would help his state create thousands of new jobs, save energy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

The apparent contradiction underscores Ryan's conflicts with his larger federal budget proposal as the House Budget Committee chairman. That plan would slash Energy Department programs aimed at creating green jobs and calls for "getting Washington out of the business of picking winners and losers in the economy ? and that includes our energy sector."

Ryan's actions in Congress have been drawing fresh scrutiny since he was named last weekend as Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney's running mate.

Ryan's campaign spokesman, Brendan Buck, told The Associated Press earlier this week that the congressman's lobbying for the stimulus funds was part of a "a legitimate constituent service." But he did not immediately respond to questions seeking comment on either Ryan's denial Thursday or on the newly surfaced audio.

The vice presidential contender is not alone among Republicans who criticized the stimulus plan only to seek money later. Georgia's Republican senators, Saxby Chambliss and Johnny Isakson, for example, blasted the bill as a bloated government giveaway yet asked Defense Secretary Robert Gates to steer $50 million in stimulus money to a constituent's bio-energy project.

Ryan's views are also consistent with his running mate's long-held position that the stimulus was a flawed idea that did not create private sector jobs.

"That stimulus didn't work," Romney said at an Ohio speech in June. "That stimulus didn't put more private-sector people to work."

Yet in Ryan's letter to the Labor Department in October 2009, he backed the Energy Center of Wisconsin's grant application for stimulus money "to develop an industry-driven training and placement agenda that intends to place 1,000 workers in green jobs." The company did not win the Labor Department grant, federal records show.

Numerous Benefits of Using a Coating Spray

Have you ever realized the importance of coating spray on the texture of various products? You must have been wondering about the benefits you could obtain from them. Firstly, there are not just a couple of them but multiple benefits that could be obtained through the process of coating. Secondly, the life of products upon which they are coated could be immensely increased. Additionally, enough protection could be offered to the products over which the material has been coated. However, enough workmanship is required in order to spray upon the product with a coating of your choice. Technical specifications are necessary as well so that the quality standards are maintained intact.

Gas turbine is one product that requires coating most importantly. Each coating that is included upon it produces a cooling effect for the product. This is necessary because of the fact that metallic surfaces are highly prone to damages. Once the external layer has been damaged, it becomes extremely dangerous to operate. In fact, corrosion is one of the reasons that why blasts occur at industrial sites. Engineers take enough care that the coating has been applied properly without leaving any space uncovered. Different types of coating are available in common such as plasma and thermal.

Energy efficiency is one of the best advantages that you could obtain with the help of these coatings. However, a perfect mix of materials must be ensured before you begin spraying. The results are so effective that you can extend the process to advanced requirements as well such as roofs and walls. Products that are highly sensitive in nature and vulnerable to atmospheric conditions could be saved with the help of these coatings. The condition has to be supervised on a regular basis to maintain that the original quality is intact. Withstanding higher temperatures becomes difficult for equipment working under severe pressure.

Meanwhile, there are cheaper alternatives available in case you are looking forward to implement the coating process on a regular basis. Powder material is something that can be considered, which absorbs maximum heat without letting the effects felt on the metal surface. It is not possible to use powder for every application especially the ones that are associated with industries and aerospace. Latest advancements in technology have resulted in the realization of thermal and metal coatings without getting in contact with the actual surface. Aluminum, titanium, and ceramics are the common coating materials that are vividly used.

The author has an immense knowledge on coating materials. Know more about coating spray related info in his website http://www.apsmaterials.com

Jeffrey Ross Dreses Like Joe Paterno, Cracks Colorado Shooting Jokes at Comedy Central Roast


Jeffrey Ross arrived for the Comedy Central Roast of Roseanne Barr yesterday dressed as Joe Paterno and accompanied by two young boys in only Penn State helmets and a towel.

To many, though, this get-up was actually NOT the most offensive act by the comedian during the event.

Jeffrey Ross as Joe Paterno

Still wearing his costume, Ross took to the podium and addressed a red-haired Seth Greene with a clear reference to alleged Colorado shooter James Holmes:

“Congratulations,” Ross said to Green. “This is actually a really big night for you. You haven’t gotten this much attention since you shot all those people in Aurora.”

To a mixture of boos and scattered applause, Ross then added: “I’m kidding! You’re not like James Holmes. At least he’s doing something in a movie theater that people remember.”

Zing... ouch... and totally inappropriate?

Ross' attempt at humor came a week after Dane Cook also made a stand-up joke about the incident, although at least Ross focused his quips on Holmes. Cook actually made fun of the victims.

Still, even Roseanne herself said afterward that Ross "crossed the line," adding: “But comedy is about moving the line… And where is the line in a country that has freedom of speech? Maybe there isn’t one.”

Do you agree? What do you think of Ross' jokes?

Proven Strategies That Will Help You Quit Smoking

Some view quitting as easy as dumping their cigarettes and going with sheer willpower. Doing so can help someone quit the habit, but there are easier ways of accomplishing this. If you want to quit smoking once and for all, there are a number of options available to you.

Keep a list of activities to occupy yourself during cravings. You may be too agitated to think up an activity on your own, but your list will be available to you to help guide you away from a cigarette. It could be something as simple as taking your dog for a walk, playing cards with your partner or running a long, hot bath.

TIP! When you quit smoking, clean your home thoroughly, if you smoked indoors. Wash the drapes and furniture, scrub down the walls and any other things in your home that smell of cigarettes.

If you want to stop smoking, you have to make sure you get plenty of sleep at night. When you are tired, get to bed immediately to reduce cravings. Getting plenty of rest can benefit you during the withdrawal phase. Additionally, sleep will reduce toxins in your body, improving healing capabilities.

If you just can?t stand the cravings that come from quitting smoking, then nicotine replacement therapy could be the answer. Smoking cessation aids such as nicotine gum or patches can help you stop smoking without experiencing withdrawal symptoms. Once you have given up the cigarettes for good, you can start weaning yourself from nicotine altogether.

Replace your smoking habit with a fitness habit. As your body rids itself of the damage done by smoking, you will start to see the results as you begin to have more energy and greater workouts. When you use exercise to repair your body, you?ll be less inclined to harm your progress by smoking a cigarette.

TIP! If you simply smoke to satisfy an oral fixation, then find something else you can do to make your mouth busy. Some good tricks to stimulate your mouth in other ways would be to chew gum or suck on hard candy whenever you find yourself craving a cigarette.

Try journaling about your reasons for quitting. Read it to yourself often, as a reminder of why you are quitting. There is support for the fact that this can be a successful strategy to stop smoking.

Many inventive types have realized that maintaining a meticulous journal may help in the fight to stop smoking. Most of the time, people smoke to relax or calm their nerves. Writing your thoughts down in a journal is a much healthier way of getting pent up stress, anxiety and depression out of your mind. Even better, it is free!

The only way to quit smoking is to stop. Quitting immediately, will provide the best chance for optimal health in the future. This is a simple solution to quitting, but it?s not always easy. This way may seem difficult at first. Over time, it?s the most effective method.

TIP! When you make the decision to quit smoking, write down all of your motivating factors. There are no positive reasons to continue to smoke, and you will find that the benefits of quitting far outweigh any pleasure that you derive from smoking.

If you are to be successful at quitting smoking, you have to believe in yourself. You need to believe that you will be successful at quitting. No doubt you have overcome other situations in your life that were not easy. Remember how you succeeded then, and know that you can accomplish this, too.

If you?re trying to quit smoking, be sure to get plenty of rest. For many individuals, staying up late at night leads to increased cigarette cravings. There are not people around late at night, this will make it easy for you to sneak a smoke. By sleeping restfully at least eight hours every night, your mental faculties will be more acute and you?ll have more willpower to overcome your cravings.

Quitting smoking is a very difficult emotional challenge. Cravings are real and they aren?t always easy to resist. By documenting these cravings in a journal, including times, strength, actions and feelings will help you pinpoint when the cravings happen and what caused the craving to appear.

TIP! Eat tons of nuts, fruits and veggies when stopping smoking. This will help you quit for a few reasons.

Make quitting a gift for yourself. Never look at it as a loss or burden. You will be able to quit smoking sooner and remain smoke-free, if you think positively about quitting. This will help you to understand the value of quitting for your life, from a short and long-term perspective. This will keep your motivation up while giving real reason to stop now.

One way to stop smoking is to get better at quitting. Very few smokers are successful at quitting the first time they try. Instead of expecting perfection from yourself, just quit for as long as possible. If you do start up again, immediately pick a new ?quit? date. Just keep at it and try to extend the amount of time you quit, while you learn what triggered you into smoking again each time. Applying this technique can give you the willpower to quit smoking altogether.

To cut down on the symptoms of withdrawal you have, exercise more. The endorphins that your body produces during a workout will help curb your withdrawal symptoms, and getting up and moving will help you forget about cigarettes. Instead of gaining weight when you quit smoking, you can use exercise to get into the best shape of your life!

TIP! Develop a good understanding of where and when you smoke the most. When are you most likely to want to smoke? If you know when cravings are most likely to strike, then you will be better prepared to stave them off.

Be aware of the risks and side effects associated with anti-smoking medications such as atropine and scopolamine. They will stop withdrawal symptoms from becoming overwhelming, but they can have detrimental effects on the nervous system. Some of the side effects include dizziness, blurred vision, constipation, and difficulty urinating. You don?t need to deal with these kinds of hassles when you are already stressing over your cravings.

Join a gym or create an exercise routine, not only to get benefits related to your health, but to help you keep away from cigarettes as well. You can experience great stress relief through exercise.

Stop allowing any smoking in your house as you cut back cigarettes. Kicking the smoking habit is quite a lot simpler if you need to go out of your way to smoke a cigarette. For example, if you have to walk into the cold, without a laptop or TV to distract you, you may quit sooner.

Toki Tori (3DS Virtual Console / Game Boy Color) Review ...

A good egg

Many will be familiar with Toki Tori on WiiWare, released a few years ago and since on several systems; it's been quite the popular game, but not many people are familiar with the original entry in the series. This is understandable, because it was released at the tail end of the Game Boy Color's life cycle back in 2002, but now has a second lease of life on the 3DS Virtual Console.

If you've played the remake you probably know what to expect here, but for those new to Toki Tori, here's a brief explanation. You play as the titular bird attempting to rescue your siblings, who are still trapped in their eggs, and have been scattered through four different areas. Toki Tori isn't very athletic or strong, so to get around each level you'll have to rely on a limited supply of special abilities, each of which has its own unique use.

The very first one lets you build a simple, small bridge to cross gaps, but you'll quickly find yourself using teleports, freeze rays and others, some of which are exclusive to a particular world; these include the incredibly handy bubble suit, which allows you to float upwards a limited amount of spaces, a very important ability for many of the underwater levels.

A lot of the levels feature enemies, but as Toki Tori is mostly defenceless you'll have to find a way around these with your abilities, or use them to your advantage by freezing them with the freeze ray (when available) and using them as stepping stones. Simply dodging them can be a bit tricky, as Toki Tori is quite slow ? especially when falling ? and has to manually jump up steps, rather than just running towards them to auto-jump as he has recently.

Most levels give you just enough abilities to get all of the eggs in one very specific way, so you'll have to get those gears in your head grinding if you want to figure out the solution. As you progress the stages become particularly challenging, with no way of skipping ahead, so if you find yourself stuck on a level you're not moving on until you beat it!

The levels themselves may be very familiar to you if you've played the WiiWare title, as they are certainly similar. Each of the four worlds have ten stages, plus a few "learn stages" where you get to experiment with a new ability when one is introduced. After clearing the ten normal stages, you'll unlock a set of hard stages for that world, which tend to live up to their name as they're significantly trickier to solve.

For a Game Boy Color title, meanwhile, the visuals are nice and detailed, with lots of little touches in each level. The music has good variety and does the trick, with the Creepy Castle theme in particular being catchy and memorable.

Toki Tori is a game many players missed the first time around, but you've now got a second chance to experience the original game on 3DS Virtual Console. With 40 increasingly challenging main stages and several optional hard stages, you're likely be entertained for a good amount of time before finally clearing it.
