As you can clearly see, rescue worker Mario was able to save all 33 miners with the help of Luigi. The miners’ families and Princess Toadstool waited for them at the top of Camp Hope with the Chilean President.

Fact or Fiction
The Great Wall of China is visible from the moon
FICTION
In low orbit, the Great Wall of China can be seen from outer space but not as unique from the rumors heard. From the low earth orbit, many artificial objects can be seen on earth, not just the Great Wall of China. Highways, ships at sea, dams, railways, cities, rice fields, and several buildings.
As has been claimed that the Great Wall of China is a man-made objects are visible on the Moon, Apollo astronauts have reported that they did not see any human-made object from the moon.

Fact or Fiction
If you pluck your hair, more grows back.
FICTION
On an episode of Sex and the City, or “The Show That was Great Before the Second Sequel,” Samantha is upset over a grey hair. She goes to pluck it but decides against it. As she tells our heroine Carrie Bradshaw, “If you pluck it, ten more will come to its funeral.”– is Samantha’s anxiety based in truth?
No, no, and more no, according to experts. When your shaved hair grows back, it is initially short and stubbly. The longer hair is, the softer it becomes. So while it may seem like the gods are punishing you for taking a razor to unwanted hair – it’s really just the biology of your body

Fact or Fiction
You will ruin your eyes reading in dim light.
FICTION!!!!
But reading in dim light can certainly strain your eyes – it’s just that those itchy, burning tired eyes will restore themselves. No permanent damage is possible.
When you walk into a room where light is low, your eye adjusts in several ways. When you read, your eye must be able to focus an image of the words onto your retina. To do this, the iris, as well as the muscles that control the shape of your lens, must contract to keep the focused image on the retina.
If you read in low light, your visual muscles get mixed signals: Relax to collect the most light, but at the same time, contract to maintain the focused image. When that object is poorly lit, focusing becomes even more difficult because the contrast between the words and the page isn’t as great, which decreases the eye’s ability to distinguish visual detail. That ability is called visual acuity. Your eyes have to work harder to separate the words from the page, which strains your eye muscles.
When your eyes are working this hard for a long period of time, they become tired, much as any muscle would. The strain may result in a number of physical effects including sore or itching eyeballs, headaches, back and neck aches and blurred vision. Because you often don’t blink enough when focusing on a single object, you may also experience uncomfortable dryness in your eyes. None of these symptoms damage your eyes, and they eventually go away. If the symptoms don’t go away once you stop straining your eyes, however, then see an eye doctor. You may have an underlying eye problem like nearsightedness; the fact that the symptoms of eye strain overlap with those of nearsightedness is likely a reason why some continue to argue that reading in dim light causes permanent damage.
For now, it seems, the eyesight of children who read by flashlight is safe. Still, it’s certainly easier on your eyes to read in good light that falls directly on the page without causing a glare. You can also avoid eye strain when you’re reading by blinking frequently and taking a moment to focus on something out the window or across the room every 15 to 30 minutes.

Global Pinoy Bazaar 201OVE
The Yabang Pinoy – Filipino Pride movement celebrates its 5th year by celebrating Filipino Love and Pride.
Together with Yabang Pinoy’s community of Filipino entrepreneurs committed to Filipino artistry and craftsmanship, Yabang Pinoy will once again stage the 6th Global Pinoy Bazaar on Nov 6-7, 2010 at Rockwell Tent, Makati City.
Global Pinoy Bazaar 2010 will feature businesses with 100% Filipino Love and Pride, showcasing ladies’, men’s & children’s apparel, accessories, jewelries, bags & shoes, home decor, beachwear, home and wellness products, as well as Pinoy art and design.
“We believe in buying Philippine-made products. Our products are just as good as the products from other countries. We have a lot of good ideas and our workmanship is also very good. We like the vision of the Yabang Pinoy movement as the title “Yabang Pinoy” says it all. We can never move forward as a people if we do not believe and take pride in what we have and what we can achieve,” shared Tessa Coscolluela of Tiny Wonder.
Ea de los Santos of outdoor apparel brand Agos says: “We (with partner Mica Ferrer) started as Yabang Pinoy volunteers three years ago. Being part of the group inspired us to start our own local brand. Since there are only a few brands promoting the Philippine outdoor lifestyle, we saw the opportunity and decided to give it a try. Now we can prove that there is really a growing market in the outdoor/extreme lifestyle world: one great example is surfing. It was not hard for us to come up with this business because it is also our lifestyle. Now it will be our second year as merchants and we realize that Global Pinoy Bazaar is not just a bazaar. It is a celebration of local brands growing together and of Filipinos who continue to support local products and ideas.”
“Shoppers can expect unique, quality products for the comfort and safety of mommy and baby at reasonable prices. Our products are made to provide unique and helpful solutions for each mother and child,” says Karen Lopez of MomTreneur.
As early as now, mark you calendars for the best Filipino Christmas shopping experience.

THE 2010 CUBAO EXPO 1-DAY HOLIDAY TWIST BAZAAR
October 16, 2010
November 20, 2010
December 4, 2010
————————–
Saturdays, 1pm-12mn
Since 2007, Cubao Expo has become the place where the unexpected pleasant find is the norm. In the 2010 1-DAY HOLIDAY TWIST BAZAAR, we will have 32 different sellers to satisfy your gift-giving needs, as well as a twist that will put Cubao Expo on the event trend-setting map for years to come!
To differentiate us from the flurry of bazaars that dot the metro during the -ber months, we present to you “LATAGAN SA CUBAO X!”, where a space in Cubao Expo (the former Heritage Art & Antique Gallery) has been set aside for sellers of any goods that are vintage, handmade and art-inspired, “mat/floor-selling style”. We are hoping to gather 50 such entrepreneurial souls to offer their goods to a buying public who come to Cubao Expo to find the unusual, the unique, the hard-to-find.
Entrance to the bazaar is free, and there is ample parking space in the paid parking lot to right of Cubao Expo, as well as in front of the Cubao Expo compound.
This is our 4th straight Holiday Bazaar, and we know it’s going to be even more successful this year. We hope to see you all there!
==============================
For those interested in becoming sellers during the bazaar (“tent/booth” or “latagan”-style), kindly check out this post for details:

Mr. Know it All (useless info of the day)
It is impossible to sneeze with your eyes open
Fact or Fiction
The actor who portrayed the “Marlboro Man” in TV and print ads for cigarettes died of lung cancer.
FACT
The tobacco industry was one of the first to advertise on television. Phillip Morris’ campaign for their Marlboro brand of cigarettes – depicting a rugged cowboy known as the “Marlboro Man” – was one of the most successful and long running. Conceived in 1954, the campaign ran until cigarette advertising was banned from TV in January 1971 – and continued in print for many more years. During that time, several different men portrayed the Marlboro Man, two of whom died of lung cancer. David McLean, who appeared in TV and print ads starting in the early ’60s, died in October 1995 at age 73. Wayne McLaren, who posed for print ads in the ’70s, died in July 1992 at age 51.

Mr. Know it All (useless info of the day)
“Almost” is the longest word in the English language with all the letters in alphabetical order
Fact or Fiction
If you are attacked by a shark, you should punch it in the nose as hard as you can.
FICTION
While this strategy has worked for a lucky few, it is not one that is recommended by shark experts. Most marine biologists advise that you not do anything that might agitate or injure the shark, as that could make it more aggressive or attract other sharks to the area. If you do feel threatened, use a stick or other tool — rather than your hands — to fend it off, and poke it in the eyes or gills instead of the nose.
Actually, this widespread misconception about how to fend off a shark attack has even spawned a joke:
“Marine biology researchers have developed a new method to fend off shark attacks. If you are diving and are approached by a shark, they recommend that you swim toward it aggressively and punch it in the nose as hard as possible.
If this doesn’t work, beat the shark with your stump.”

I’m at the airport right now waiting for my flight with Singapore Airlines to head over to Singapore!
I’ll be covering the F1 Races for the first time thanks of course to my friends from Globe! This is my first time to see an F1 Race live and I am totally PUMPED about it!
Oh and the airport is a complete stress fest right now, so wanted to say thanks to our friend Bob Reyes of BobReyes.com for hooking up FlairCandy and I with access to the Sampaguita lounge.
It’s actually really affordable considering there’s a snack buffet (mirienda) along with comfortable seats, airport internet wifi and most importantly: LOTS OF SPACE!
So yeah, very happy right now. I just hate myself for leaving my book at home…. but again, the internet access here at the Sampaguita Lounge at Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 1 is flawless.
Ahhhhhh, space! I swear the crowds in the airport make me want to slam my head against the wall sometimes…. =P
Anyway, thanks again to Bob for letting us stay at the Sampaguita Lounge here at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 1! Stay tuned for more updates from Singapore F1 Races!

Bidding for Blue Chip Legacy and Dreams
For two years now, the Ateneo Alumni Association (AAA) has been at the forefront of raising funds for various social involvement concerns through the Ateneo Art Auction. The first auction in 2008 featured works from the masters such as Amorsolo, Malang and Anita Magsaysay-Ho to name a few and several from the most sought after contemporary artists like MM Yu and Bembol dela Cruz. The proceeds helped build several houses for the AAA GK Community in Payatas. In 2009, around 40 select pieces from almost 50 established (such as Ang Kiukok, Arturo Luz and Lao Lianben) and emerging artists (such as Ronald Ventura and Lynyrd Paras) were given to the highest bidders during the live auction. This allowed the Association to donate 1.2 million pesos to the Ateneo Scholarship Fund.
This year, we hope to raise more scholarship funds for deserving but financially disadvantaged students of the Ateneo de Manila University Loyola School of Humanities. The Auction will be held on Saturday, 2nd of October 2010 at the Finale Art File located at La Fuerza Compound, 2241 Pasong Tamo Extension, Makati City, with a preview starting Thursday 30th of September 2010.
We believe that this is an excellent opportunity to partner with us for a noble cause—to enable academically gifted but financially disadvantaged students to become future leaders in their respective fields.
Let the bidding begin!

Common Sport-Related Injuries and How to Fix ‘Em. Essentially, it’ll be like a first aid/first responder situation wherein you can become your own paramedic-of-sorts. We’ll throw around various situations like:
-Differentiating Heat Exhaustion from Heat Stroke from Heat Cramps (commonly seen in most outdoor sports like running and cycling)
and how to treat them
-The above might be a great segue to addressing dehydration and maintaining water-electrolyte balance–this is if your other guest, Noelle, doesn’t cover this in her running topic
-The importance of stretching and which type comes first- dynamic or static stretching before working out or doing sports
-Treating sprains and strains and the importance of P.R.I.C.E.
-How to treat “Epistaxis” aka “nosebleed”
-What to do during when someone gets struck by lightning (sounds silly but it could actually happen)
-What to do when someone gets a bad allergic reaction and also goes into an “anaphylactic shock.” I.e. bee stings, venomous bug bites
-Putting together a first aid kit/a list of emergency hotlines
-Signing up for a CPR/AED class

Mr. Know it All (useless info of the day)
Bizarre World Sex Records
World’s Most Prolific Mother (69 babies)
Feodor Vassilyev (1707-1782), was a peasant from Shuya, Russia. Though not noteworthy himself, his first wife, Valentina Vassilyeva, set the record for most children birthed by a single woman. She gave birth to total of 69 children; however, few other details are known of her life, such as her date of birth or death. She gave birth to 16 pairs of twins, 7 sets of triplets and 4 sets of quadruplets between 1725 and 1765, in a total of 27 births. 67 of the 69 children born survived infancy. The modern world record for giving birth is held by Leontina Albina from San Antonio, Chile. Now in her mid-sixties, she claims to be the mother of 64 children. Of these, 55 are documented. The mother with the greatest number of kids that are not tiwns is Livia Ionce. This Romanian woman, 44, gave birth to her 18th child in Canada in 2008.
Fact or Fiction
A hairy swimmer will be slower in the water than a clean shaven swimmer.
FACT
It’s an idea as slick as sea creatures: Could hair slow a swimmer’s pace? A 1988 study supported the athletic benefits of being hairless. For swimmers, removing body hair decreases drag while moving through the water.
This means swimmers who get friendly with a razor before each race go farther and faster with each stroke..
