Asian countries are banning Chinese dairy products because it contains traces of the banned chemical additive melamine.

Philippines have banned all infant formulas, milk and milk products from China to safeguard against poisoning by the toxic industrial chemical melamine.

Here is the updated list of milk and milk products being tested for excessive melamine content.

For your safety!

Yes, that’s right; I have now two monitors so that we can be able to have more productivity. Two monitors, the other one is for excel. Waahhh, so is this means that I have to work more? If we can make 2 KW (quota) for our PPC campaign, does it means we can come up now with 4 KW’s? Oh boy...doesn’t like it.

Settle in, fire it up, enjoy ... Primetime TV (8 -10PM) ... do you watch shows during that time, do you record some and watch others, do you record 'em? it's Primetime because advertisers not only want our eyeballs, but they want our minds ... our minds are there for them to imprint their messages upon ... our minds guide our purchases ... do you feel used, or is it OK for them to pay us by giving us the TV show?

Just as each sign has specific personality traits and tendencies, each sign has different ways they prefer to be shown love. Some are really picky - we're talking to you, Aries and Taurus - and some love anything - Pisces, Cancer, stop showing off! Here is your astrological guide to show your love to the one you love!

Aries
Aries, the "me" sign, loves surprises, except when he or she knows one is on the way, so a token of love for an Aries has to be well-hidden. Aries love action, so last-minute trips to somewhere fun work well. For your Aries, try a night out with lots of surprises, a night in with direct and obvious affection, or a song dedication on the radio.

Taurus
Taurus is picky, stubborn, and not good at saying exactly what he or she wants because, you see, you're just supposed to know. So if you know your Taurus pretty well, go material. Taurus loves to spend. Your Taurus will love beautifully wrapped, high-quality gifts, personalized nights in with all their favorites, and to be waited on hand and foot.

Gemini
The good news is Gemini is easy to please. The bad news is Gemini is good at acting, so if your Gemini isn't happy, you won't know. The best way to share your love with your Gemini is to show him or her that you pay attention: you know what he or she likes, so anticipate. Your Geminians will love if you complete chores before they can get to them, give practical gifts (they love practicality), and save them money - they are rather cheap, but they call it "frugal."

Cancer
This is an easy one: Cancerians are sentimental fools. They love family, fun, friends, or anything that reminds them of good times. Cancerians realize that they are an important part of the group, and when you help to recognize this, you will be rewarded. Your Cancer will love anything you do, the more personal the better: mementos such as photos or walks in the rain or on the beach. See? Easy!

Leo
Ah, Leo... Lions love compliments and things to do with how wonderful they are. They are very creative, and anything that sparks their creativity shows them you truly are thinking of them. Your Leo will love if you indulge his or her hobbies (cooking, art, etc) and put him or her in charge. Natives of this sign love compliments, hugs, kisses, and letting them win every once in a while.

Virgo
Virgo is a practical, efficient sign. It is hard for Virgo natives to be honest and direct, and they love when people are honest and direct with them. So one of the best ways to say I love you is just to say, "I love you!" Trips are also good - just make sure you have an itinerary and you stick to it! Let the Virgo be in charge every once in a while (not all the time as this will get old for your dear Virgo).

Libra
Libra doesn't usually like to be alone but doesn't like groups, either, so low-key, non-boring activities in pairs work best. Libra natives also won't want to feel as if you are doing something only to please them, so the key is to find something that your Libra loves and that you don't hate. So not merely a walk, but a hike; not merely lunch outside, but a picnic. Quiet, romantic settings remind Libra that you are both important to each other.

Scorpio
There's no other way to say this: Scorpions love sex and physical attention. The best way to love a Scorpio is to love a Scorpio. Scorpions love to be appreciated but hate to ask for things, even if they need them, so anticipation is important with your favorite Scorpio. Complete surprises - well-hidden, like with Aries - work well, too! Surprise Scorpio natives with things they would buy for themselves if they could afford them. Load up on the compliments, and they'll compliment you right back.

Sagittarius
Sagittarians are the ultimate party sign. They love to please, and they are easy to please as long as they feel free. This is another sign who loves to travel - but no itinerary needed here! Personal attention can be lavished upon Sagittarius natives at any time; they are totally OK with that. Your Sagittarius will love low-key public displays of affection - they like to be risky - and lavish parties with him or her as the star.

Capricorn
With Capricorn, we find a sign that likes to be lavish yet practical. Capricornians have their own rules and order of things, and showing that this is respected is the best way to show love. Letting them be in charge doesn't hurt. Material gifts are good here, but remember: lavish but practical. And practical, to a Capricorn, means something that he or she loves - cologne, jewelry, etc.

Aquarius
Aquarians like to think of themselves as ahead of everybody else. Indulge this thinking by providing them with the state-of-the-art latest in technology! They know you love them anyway; they don't question this. But when you give them something meant to improve their lives, they will know how much they have a place in yours. Your Aquarius will love compliments about how innovative and smart and modern he is she is or the latest trinkets in a chosen hobby or field.

Pisces
This is another easy one - Pisceans are very romantic, so get as gushy as you want to! They love it. Of course, being fish, they also love water, so anything you can do on or near water with your favorite Pisces will please. Take your Pisces to the beach or to the pool if there's no natural body of water nearby. Pisces loves magic, the theater, art, and doing things with you, so you really can't go wrong!

GladyGirl really hate it when someone makes her feel so stupid. Because GladyGirl is not…I maybe don’t know everything in this world but it doesn’t mean that I’m stupid…

And most of all, that person doesn’t have the right to curse me!

And you think that you’re so damn good?! Oh, yeah… That you know everything?! NO! Coz’ you don’t!

And who the hell do you think you are?

You’re someone pretending to be so genius in your own craft. But you are just a fat, ugly, midget little creature!

I have read in all internet gossip sites that David Duchovny doesn’t just play a sex addict on Californication--he recently checked into rehab for sex addiction. Rumors are swirling that Mr. X-Files might be hooked on Internet porn.

So want to know if you guy is also addicted to porn or if he’s a sex addict?

Well, let me give you these 10 signs that he truly is. Make sure to read this on.


10. He refuses to let you answer the door when it’s the plumber or pizza delivery guy. (Hey, he knows all too well what these dudes are capable of.)

9. He’s always checking for hidden web cams before you have sex.

8. Correction: He’s always setting up hidden web cams before you have sex.

7. Whenever the two of you walk by an Internet café, he starts licking the windows.

6. His car has a bumper sticker that reads, “Honk if you too are addicted to Internet porn!”

5. His lucrative career as a professional hand model was cut tragically short due to crippling carpal tunnel syndrome.

4. As he’s climaxing with you, he screams “More bandwidth!”

3. He doesn’t have a clue who Blake Lively is. But he knows a hell of a lot about chicks with names like Tawnee Stone, Luba, and the Fey Sisters.

2. When you innocently go on his computer, you innocently notice that he has no browser history. The guy clears his cache as often as he clears his throat.

1. He checks out online porn at least a couple of times a week...oops, that’s actually just a sign that your guy is a guy.

It’s been months since GladyGirl bought new clothes, shoes, bags and other stuff. I’ve been wondering too why I haven’t bought new things for myself since I went her in Metropolis. Maybe because I’m just too lazy to go out once I’m inside the house, I just watched DVD’s on weekends, or maybe I just don’t feel like going to the mall or go shopping. But these past weeks, deep inside of me I want to buy new clothes or things for myself. New pants maybe or a blouse and of course heels! I missed wearing my heels since I left all of them at our house. A red one maybe, lol!

Although I’m saving money I guess buying once in a while is not that bad after all. Money can't buy happiness, but it can sometimes buy stuff that makes you happy. Before you fork over your hard-earned cash for a purchase, determine whether you're investing in something that will truly add joy and utility to your life. Ask yourself:


1. Is this something I will use at least once a week? Will it be useful for at least a year?

2. Will this thing make me smile at least 10 times? Will it contribute to lasting memories?

3. Have I recently seen an ad for this item or experience? If so, am I secretly kidding myself that it will make me as skinny and giddy as the actress in said ad?

4. What am I willing to give up for this purchase? Would I be willing to eat ramen noodles for a week or give up my premium movie channel to finance it?

5. Can I wait until this goes on sale to buy it? Or at least 24 hours? (Hint: The answer to this one is always yes!)

Can’t figure out what your man wants? Well, stop fretting over it, for all you need to do is wear sexy clothes while cooking and cleaning and obey his orders, that’s what a new bestseller suggests.

The self-help guide, titled ‘The Re-education Of The Female’, by first-time author Dante Moore has already become a hit in the United States where copies are selling just like hot cakes, the media reported.

One piece of advice reads: "Men never really ask for anything. They command. And believe me, what you won''t do, 10 broads around the corner will."

Advising women to stay slim to attract men, Moore also writes: "When you go to the grocery store to shop, do you pick out the nastiest-looking, most rotten, smelliest fruit or meat you can find?

He insists he wants to help women and wrote the book to show where they go wrong in relationships.

Sarah Palin, Governor of Alaska, was named by John McCain to run as the Republican's Vice Presidential candidate ... it is conservatives who think they have seized the political advantage.

We live in a world where there are endless possibilities. Think about it: As women, we have a billion options when it comes to careers, relationships, clothes...hell, even groovy exercise classes. And yet, we’re more bummed out than ever before. “Intuitively, having so many choices should make you happier, but it can actually make you feel worse,” says Barry Schwartz, PhD, author of The Paradox of Choice: Why More Is Less. “The more options you have, the higher your expectations, and when your expectations are sky-high, you’re destined for disappointment...no matter how good things get.”

So if such abundance doesn’t make us happy, then what does flip our bliss switch? Is it adopting the lifestyle before we had so many life options? Not entirely. Our parents grew up with fewer choices to make, but assuming their life goals isn’t the answer, because the world isn’t the same place today. The key is actually a mix of things, some timeless and some that relate to this generation. Here, the essential elements.

1. You Need a Solid Core Group of Friends

Look at Carrie from Sex and the City. Through everything from Post-it Note breakups to snapped stilettos, she is generally one happy camper. Why? She has her posse. “Friendship is one of life’s main joys,” says David Niven, PhD, author of The 100 Simple Secrets of Happy People. “Spending time with people who really know you affords you the freedom to be yourself, which increases contentment.” “Once you reveal more of yourself and see that these friends accept you for whom you really are, you’ll feel connected and therefore happier,” adds Niven.


2. You Gotta Have Adventures

“If everything you did in life was safe, you’d never have any exhilarating moments or crazy experiences to recall, both of which give you the sense that you’re truly living,” explains Brian Luke Seaward, PhD, author of Quiet Mind, Fearless Heart.

“People assume that doing the right thing leads to happiness, but actually taking risks does,” says Seaward. For you, that might entail going off on a three-day weekend with a new guy or just wearing that extraslinky minidress.


3. It’s Time to Toss Excess Stuff

“Extra belongings weigh us down and crowd our space, making us feel overwhelmed and disorganized,” says Dr. Taylor. “Lightening up will help you regain control and, therefore, happiness.”

You don’t have to clean house completely, but you should hold on only to stuff you Love (with a capital L). “If you haven’t used or admired something in six months, part with it. No guilt allowed,” she insists. To be clear: That doesn’t mean stacking things in a giveaway pile in the corner of your room. It entails bagging up the items and disposing of them ASAP — whether you donate them to Goodwill or swap ’em on eBay.


4. A Balance of Busy and Dead Time Is Key

Okay, so how do you strike the perfect balance? Fill your days with stuff you love (your Tuesday-night step class) and stuff you have to do (balancing your checkbook). Just keep in mind that at the end of the day, you want to feel like “you’ve accomplished something but that you’ve also relaxed,” says Niven.

To do: Start by sitting upright with your hands on your thighs, palms up. Close your eyes and take a deep breath. Hold it for a two second count, then release, letting your breath ease into its natural rhythm. Focus on keeping this concentration for the eight-minute span and you’ll feel lighter instantly.


5. It’s Crucial to Give in to Temptation

You log overtime at work, hit the gym religiously, stick to a low-fat, no-fun diet, and even remember birthdays. Or maybe you aren’t quite so type A. But you still get to work on time, kiss your boss’s ass when you’d rather kick it, and play nice to your folks.

Clearly, you must indulge. Some thoughts: Splurge on a gourmet sandwich one day for lunch instead of brown bagging it. Surf the Web rather than returning that hundredth e-mail. Get the deluxe spa pedicure. “When you feel completely overwhelmed, that’s actually when you need to treat yourself the most,” says Seaward.


6. Liking Yourself Is Nonnegotiable

Since you’re human, you have no doubt had one of those “Omigod! I can’t believe I said that” moments, followed by a “Stupid, stupid, stupid” fist to the forehead. Like, say, the time you introduced your guy to Bob the CEO at the office barbecue, only Bob’s name is actually Bill. Then you spent the rest of the night harping on what an idiot you are. “We tend to beat ourselves up, but it’s necessary to let ourselves off the hook,” says Ed Diener, PhD, professor of psychology and leading happiness researcher at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. “Inevitably, you’re going to make mistakes, and yet you still have to like yourself.”

The same holds true for those so-called physical imperfections that you let deflate you. You know the slight crook in your nose that you swear makes you a prime candidate for The Swan. We can all point to 10 things that are wrong with us, but the key to happiness is appreciating yourself despite them, adds Diener.

And that ain’t easy. But it’s important to learn to keep your inner critic in check. So for every time you get down on yourself, remind yourself of something you excel at and get comfortable talking yourself up by tossing one positive thing (e.g., props from your boss or a sweet e-mail from your boyfriend) into conversation. “We tend to downplay our successes because we don’t want to sound like a braggart, but sharing good news is uplifting,” says Diener. “Not only are you reflecting on something that made you feel awesome, but the other person is going to get excited for you, which gives you an even bigger lift.”


7. You Must Stop Mentally Browsing

We know you’ve been here: You’re sitting at a restaurant, menu in hand, when the deliberation begins: Chicken or fish? Chicken or fish? After angsting for 20 minutes, you go with the fish... and then sit there until the meal comes, wondering if you should’ve gone with the chicken. Okay, maybe this is a very mild version, but in life, we do this on a larger scale all the time. “We convince ourselves that there must be something better out there, but ‘mental browsing’ is a recipe for dissatisfaction,” says Schwartz. “You’re wasting time and energy on doubting a good move just because there was another option, or 10, that you didn’t choose. You’ll never be happy if you live like this.”

The solution? Whenever a decision is in doubt — like whether your current guy is The One — pick two characteristics that are important to you (in this case, maybe it’s a sense of humor and a close-knit family). Once your criteria are established, ask yourself if they’re being met. If so, forget other options and move on. You’ll know if another option is better for you because it’ll nag at you. So relax, you’ve made the right choice...or at least one that’s going to make you happy.
