iLASIK and LASIK usage in the military and NASA

For almost 5 years now, civilians sufferring from astigmatism or have vision problems have benefited and had regain their 20/20 vision through the use of the latest laser vision correction technology called LASIK. The US military and NASA had validated the facts about LASIK technology established standards of safety and effectiveness in correcting ones vision. Knowing very well that a 20/20 vision is one of their personnel's most important asset in undertaking their critical mission, NASA and the US Department of Defense had tapped the use of modern LASIK to increase the performance of their specialized personel. “The DOD and NASA have validated the fact that today’s LASIK exceeds all established standards of safety and effectiveness,” said Steven Schallhorn, M.D., a retired U.S. Navy captain and leader of clinical research and studies done for the DOD regarding the use of LASIK. The use of modern LASIK has greatly benefitted NASA and US military as out of 100 military personnel who had undergone the procedure, 95 had achieved 20/20 uncorrected vision or even better. Most of those satisfied personnels are aviators that could attest and recommend the use of LASIK surgery to other naval aviators to regain their almost perfect vision.

So what is Modern LASIK ? Modern LASIK, known as the iLASIK™ Procedure, uses two lasers instead of one, as in earlier versions of the procedure. In the first stage of iLASIK, wave-front technology maps the unique characteristics of the individual’s eyes. Then, an ultrafast, computer-guided laser creates a corneal flap. This laser replaces the handheld microkeratome blade used in older forms of LASIK and makes the procedure exceptionally safe. After the flap is created, the wave-front mapping data guides a second laser for vision correction. The combination of these advanced laser technologies creates a custom-fit procedure clinically proven to provide excellent safety and visual results.

According to Dr. Schallhorn, “technologically speaking, there is no better time than now to join the over 12 million Americans who have benefited from LASIK." So what are you waiting for, visit www.ilasik.com for more LASIK information and to determine whether LASIK is right for you.

Adobo is one of my favorite dish and is quite popular in Philippines. Typically made up of pork or chicken or a combination of both, it is usually cooked slowly with soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, bay leaf and peppercorns. Adobo has relative long shelf life due to its vinegar ingredients and so its commonly packed by mountaineers.

Ingredients

1/2 head garlic, crushed
1 tsp. peppercorns
1/2 c. vinegar
1/4 c. soy sauce

Do you love to watch movies ? For those who love watching hollywood movies, surely, they must have heard some famous pick up lines. But have you ever wondered or tried to use these pick up lines in real life ? I have not tried yet as I am not really good in delivering lines so I do not really know whether it would work or not. Maybe, for other persons who are quite good and more confident in delivering pick up lines, some of the famous hollywood pickup qoutes are really effective and may have a positive result. Some example of popular Hollywood pick up lines are :

You think I’m gorgeous… you want to kiss me… you want to hug me… you want to love me… you want to smooch me…


We live in a cynical world. A cynical world. And we work in a business of tough competitors. I love you. You … complete me.


I appreciate this whole seduction thing you’ve got going on here, but let me give you a tip: I’m a sure thing.


Still wondering whether the above lines would really work or not ? Then I urged you to go clicking this link www.VO5VictoryHair.com or clicking the widget below to play the Extreme Style by VO5 Ultimate Flirting Championship game and test your abilities. You could play the game and test out some of these classic lines and see if they really work. And if you are a fellow blogger and love the game, I encouraged you to grab the widget and put it on your blog(s) as well.

Google Chrome

I have just downloaded a new beta browser from Google. Its called Google Chrome. Its a clean and fast browser that is streamlined and simple. Tabs are separated and according to Google, when one tab crashed, the other tabs would not be affected. It seems that Google is taking the right step by having the browser code to be open source code thereby inviting developers to contribute to its enhancements.



Here's the summarize feature of Google Chrome :
a. One box for everything Web search. Web history. Address bar. Suggestions as you type. One unified box serves all your browsing needs

b. New Tab page Every time you open a new tab, you'll see a visual sampling of your most visited sites, most used search engines, and recently bookmarked pages and closed tabs

c. Application shortcuts Use web apps without opening your browser. Application shortcuts can directly load your favorite online apps

d. Dynamic tabs You can drag tabs out of the browser to create new windows, gather multiple tabs into one window or arrange your tabs however you wish -- quickly and easily

e. Crash control Every tab you're using is run independently in the browser, so if one app crashes it won't take anything else down

f. Incognito mode Don't want pages you visit to show up in your web history? Choose incognito mode for private browsing

g. Safe browsing Google Chrome warns you if you're about to visit a suspected phishing, malware or otherwise unsafe website

h. Instant bookmarks Want to bookmark a web page? Just click the star icon at the left edge of the address bar and you're done

j. Importing settings When you switch to Google Chrome, you can pick up where you left off with all the bookmarks and passwords from your existing browser

k. Simpler downloads No intrusive download manager; you see your download's status at the bottom of your current window

You could go to click this link to download Google Chrome.

Great American Seafood Cook-off 2008

Have you heard about the Great American Seafood Cook-Off 2008 ? Well if not, then try to go this website www.GreatAmericanSeafoodCookOff.com and see the delicious recipes prepared by great chefs from different states. There were five contenders that were named in the final round of competition and they were :

1. Chef Paul Anders(Colorado) - Colorado Striped Bass Panzanella

2. Chef Tafari Campbell (Maryland) - Pan Roasted Glazed Rockfish with Peas and Carrots

3. Chef John Currence (Mississippi) - Mississippi Redfish Courtboullion with Seafood Dirty Rice

4. Chef Mark Holley (Texas) - Texas Gulf Shrimp

5. Chef Brian Landry (Louisiana) - Louisiana Shrimp and Andouille Cassoulet

All the above delicious recipes were unique and prepared in detail by the 5 great chefs. Just looking at the pictures of the dishes that were prepared would be a mouth watering experience. Of all the 5 recipes, my favorite recipe was the one prepared by Chef Chef Brian Landry of Louisiana which is Louisiana Shrimp and Andouille Cassoulet. The reason why I like it is because its seems so easy to follow the cooking instructions he had prepared and all the ingredients could easily be source from any local supermarket. Using domestic seafood that could easily be source locally is great because you could ensure fresh products for your ingredients and its always best in preparing healthy and delicious food.


I think having cook off events like this would help recognize great chefs in our area and will also provide enthusiasm to local chefs to be more creative in preparing special, healthy and great dishes for our consumption.

By the way, when you visit the 2008 Great American Seafood Cook-off website, you will get a chance to vote for your favorite seafood recipe and win a "Trip to New Orleans" prize package including two Southwest Airline roundtrip tickets, hotel accommodations, dining experiences and more. So what are you waiting for, I encourage you to visit the website, casts your vote for your favorite seafood recipe and win great prizes.
