"Another Life Dream Fulfilled" Donsol by monina_c
Donsol Travel Guide: 114 reviews and 403 photos
:) :D Julie Andrews was rumored to have parodied her famous song on her 69th birthday. I don't care if its just one of those urban legends. I loved it and I'm sharing it with you :
Back pains, confused brains, and no fear of sinnin',
Thin bones and fractures and hair that is thinnin',
And we won't mention our short shrunken frames,
When we remember our favorite things.
When the joints ache,
when the hips break,
When the eyes grow dim,
Then I remember the great life I've had,
And then I don't feel so bad.
:) March 22, 2009 is going to be one of my "favorite things". It is the day when i finally got to fulfill one of the items in my "Must Dos Before I Die" list. It is something that will make my 44th birthday special.
Butandings (aka whale sharks, Rhincodon typus) are fishes that grow up to about 15 ft. to 40 ft. in length. They eat mainly fish and krill. The town of Donsol in Sorsogon have been blessed to be the site where these gentle giants congregate between the months of February to May (peak) and around October and November each year. Its yearly migration to this otherwise sleepy fishing town has made Donsol a mecca for nature lovers who are out to experience the ultimate thrill!
A group of VT friends and I usually take the plane to Legaspi on a Saturday to go around Legaspi, Tabaco and on to Donsol for the ultimate chapter of our travel adventure, Whale shark (Butanding) interaction. In the morning of Sunday, we troop to the lecture hall of the Donsol Butanding Interaction Center ( I forgot the proper name of the center, but you get the idea) early in the morning.... The whole pre-departure process takes about 30minutes. Pay for the boat and the registration, watch the mini-film showing about the whole butanding experience (what to do and where to place ourselves while interacting with these gentle giants).
After the whole rigmarole of filling up the forms, paying the fee, the center staff hands over the voucher/receipt and a number (which one hands over to the BIO later). After making sure that you've taken in the video, the staff then point out to the staging area where the group's designated Butanding Interaction Officer (BIO) is already waiting.
The film showing and all the stories I heard about the whole encounter pales in comparison to the actual experience. It brings home the truth that one cannot understand/appreciate an event/happening unless she/he experiences it him/herself.
Three years on, and it's already 2011, and I still haven't tired of going back to Donsol to swim with these beautiful creatures. I guess I will do it over and over again whenever opportunity opens up to me.
Visitors must register with the Donsol Tourism Office located adjacent to Vitton Resort. If your group is small or you are alone, just tell the tourism officer and they will try and help you get someone to share the cost of the boat with you. Each boat can accommodate up to 7 persons. They do not allow the use of SCUBA equipment during the encounter but they do have a shack where you can rent snorkel equipment for P300/set.
After the lecture/mini-film showing, we collected our snorkeling gear and took our designated boat. We sailed about 15 minutes out to sea with our spotter perched on top of the boat keeping a sharp eye for a sight of butanding. While we waited with beating hearts and weak knees for the signal to jump overboard, most of us tried to imagine the encounter we were about to have and trying to keep in mind the reminders of our BIOMAN. :)
Cess and Ed waiting for the signal to jump!
:) One thing to remember is that it is your boat crew's expertise that makes the experience a success, so please cooperate with them fully. From experience, their sharp eyes and years of sailing/fishing gave them the skill to time when the creature will arrive in your area down to the exact minute! So when they say JUMP INTO THE WATER! Just do it!!! Do not hesitate or dawdle! Every second you are in the water is precious moment so do not waste your time. :) Take your courage in hand and jump in for the experience of a lifetime!
It is important to remember that the butandings are the master of the encounter. It is the lookout of the humans to keep the path unempeded for these sea creatures. We must not disturb nor cause any undue stress to them. So keeping proper distance is a must.
Below is the Code of Conduct by which every swimmer must adhere to to the letter! Charing!!!
1. Do not touch or ride the Whale Shark.
2. Do not restrict the movement of the Whale Shark, or impede its natural path.
3. Maintain a distance of 3 meters from the head or body of the Whale Shark, and 4 meters from its tail.
4. Do not use flash photography.
5. Do not use SCUBA gear, scooters, jet skis or any other motorized underwater propulsion machines.
6. A maximum of six (6) swimmers per Whale Shark is allowed, and only one (1) boat per Whale Shark.
For further information please read: Sorsogon Tourism
- Pros:Everything is perfect!
- Cons:Should have stayed longer
- In a nutshell:The Donsol experience is a MUST for every traveler to the Philippines

Shockley diode
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the Shockley Diode Equation, see Diode § Shockley diode equation.
Not to be confused with Schottky diode.
The Shockley diode (named after physicist William Shockley) is a four-layer semiconductor diode, which was one of the first semiconductor devices invented. It was a "pnpn" diode. It is equivalent to a thyristor with a disconnected gate.
Small signal Shockley diodes are no longer manufactured, but the unidirectional thyristor breakover diode, also known as the dynistor, is a functionally equivalent power device.

Police confirm body belongs to missing Townshend womanOctober 12,2013WINHALL Police have confirmed that Helen Holmes body was found in Winhall on Wednesday on a remote logging road.
Family members said they had last seen Holmes, 59, of Townshend, on Sept. 6.
Police searched for Holmes but couldnt find any clues to explain her disappearance. On Wednesday, a hiker spotted some partial human remains and made a report to the Winhall Police Department.
Winhall officers found the 2010 Subaru Forester registered to Holmes and the body a short distance away. However, a press release from the Vermont State Police written Thursday said police had not been able to officially identify the body.
On Friday, the office of the chief medical examiner for Vermont was able to make an official confirmation that the body found was Holmes.
A handgun was found along with the body but on Friday, a spokeswoman for the Vermont State Police repeated the police did not suspect foul play. The case is still considered pending until an official cause and manner of death is determined by the medical examiners office.
Due to the nature of the case and processing of evidence, the final autopsy report may not be available for some time, the spokeswoman said.MORE IN This Just InLOS ANGELES As throngs of Pokemon Go players traipse around to real-world landmarks in...

"Manzanillo, Colima" Manzanillo by pencho15
Manzanillo Travel Guide: 33 reviews and 87 photos
Before the spanish colonization not much happened at Manzanillo, the place was unhabited by several groups of indians from wich not much is known, their cities and tombs, as far as I know, have not been studied and some have been ransacked. apparently an important activity for them was fishing pearls.
The first spaniard arriving at Manzanillo was Gonzalo de Sandoval, he disembarked in a place called Salagua not far away from the place in wich the city is located today. in 1527 the Manzanillo bay was "discovered" and its advantages as a maritime port were soon noticed, as the western zone of Mexico was not very well known several expeditions sailed from this place, the most important was the one lead by Hern�n Cort�s, a trip in which he discovered the California peninsula, another one finished with the discovery of the Revillagigedo islands.
Appart from this events not much happened in the colonial Manzanillo, and it remained a rural town while other places developed.
After Mexico independence Manzanillo's port was opened (after drying some swamps around it), and in 1848 a customs office was established allowing the town to trade with other countries, until now this remains one of the two most important activities in the city, and if you get away from the beaches you'll see thousands of containers being handled in the port.
Manzanillo became important enough to became the state capital for three days, this occured during the mexican revolution when, in 1915 Pancho Villa menaced with taking the city of Colima, something which never came to happen.
In 1921 the airport was opened, but it wasn't until the seventies when Manzanillo discovered it other important activity, tourism.
In 1979 the film "10", starring Bo Derek Dudley Moore and Julie Andrews, popularized both the Ravel's bolero and the Manzanillo hotel called Las Hadas (one of your several accomodation options), since then Manzanillo has became an important beach destination for Mexico, of course it can't compete with places like Canc�n or Puerto Vallarta, but instead of nightlife and package tourism you'll find a peaceful and still surrounded by wildlife place.
Recently Manzanillo has been recieving another tousristic boost as a result of the increase in cruising lines including the city in their iyineraries.
- Pros:it still has wildilife, very calm beaches
- Cons:the city is not very pretty, not much to do appart from swimming

Bathers Way dream is fast becoming our city's reality
22nd Jul 16
Newcastle City Council's multimillion-dollar revitalisation project at Bathers Way between Nobbys and Merewether is opening the coastal pathway to all walks of life. Concept plans for the stretch from Newcastle Surf Club to King Edward Park reveal the signature Bathers Way widened pathway plus numerous other features and facilities to offer something for everyone.
The project was adopted by Council in 2012, with work commencing at Merewether shortly after. The path connecting Merewether to Dixon Park and Bar Beach was completed in December last year and the finishing touches added between Nobbys and Newcastle beaches in January. The Merewether Beach section was awarded the Planning Institute of Australia's 'Plan to Place' award in NSW.Read More

Hope is coming to the X-Men â figuratively and literally â in the pages of the upcoming âX-Men: Second Coming.â As a refresher, Hope was the first mutant baby born since the events of âHouse of M,â in which Scarlet Witch magically made it so âno more mutantsâ could be born (in addition to drastically reducing the number of Homo Superior worldwide).
Bishop and Cable (both mutants from the future) insist that Hopeâs role in mutantkindâs destiny is something that cannot be ignored. Cable views her as a savior of their race, however, while Bishop views her as one who will doom their kind. This led to a chase through time, with Bishop hunting Cable and Hope in an effort to kill this influential redheaded mutant.
Now, after twenty-four issues of âCable,â the chase is over. Bishop is stranded in the future, and Cable and Hope end a (roughly) twenty year chase to come back to the present. What does this return mean? And what have the two characters learned from their journey? Letâs find out as âCableâ writer Duane Swierczynski joins us for todayâs X-POSITION x-travaganza! Put on your party hats and letâs get to itâ¦
Grey has a few questions that he wants some black-or-white answers for:
Iâm a huge âCableâ fan, and Iâm sad to see this series come to an end. I have a bunch of questions for you:
1) Why do you think Cable didnât tell Hope about the X-Men or about being a mutant sooner?
Thanks, Grey. Iâm sorry to see the series end, too. But our plan all along was to tell this specific story, then bring Hope back to the present. Why didnât Cable say anything earlier? From the beginning, Cableâs been determined to let Hope choose her own path. His mission wasnât to nudge her one way or the other. It was to keep her alive until she was able to make her own choice. And now, she has.
2) Are there any untold tales of Cable/Hope that you would have liked to write?
I had a chance to do a little of that with the âA Girl Named Hopeâ backup stories (collected in the one-shot: âX-Men: Hopeâ #1), but it would certainly be fun to do more.
3) In the last issue, Bishop doubts himself for the first timeâ¦why now?
All along Bishopâs had the idea that fateâs been guiding his actions. No matter how desperate things seemed, no matter how impossible, fate would pull his butt out of the fire and let him complete his mission. But now, itâs clear âfateâ wasnât on Bishopâs sideâ¦because Bishop has seemingly lost. I see it as a kind of a Biblical, âLord, why have you forsaken me?â kind of moment.
4) Has Cable ever discussed the Phoenix with Hope?
Heâs barely talked about the X-Men or being a mutant. I donât think heâd open up that blazing can of worms.
Adam is curious about Bishopâs past and future. What do you say?
1) I've really enjoyed your run on âCableâ and the Bishop miniseries. You planted a couple of self-proclaimed X-Men in Bishop's backstory. Both of them regret that the team didn't know "what" Hope was when they protected her. Did these X-Men seek Bishop out on purpose? Did Storm and Gambit/the Witness plant the seeds of psychosis in him on the off-chance that he could succeed in stopping Hope when he grew up?
That would presume that Bishopâs grandmother is Storm. That would also mean that Grandma knew that Bishop would be going back in time, which is a huge leap to make. As for âThe Witnessâ â itâs very possible he knew that Bishop had appeared in the past, and Iâm sure he had his own agenda, which no doubt influenced the young Lucas.
2) I liked that Bishop survived the series, after getting his character developed more than it has been in ages. If he found his way back from the future, would you be interested in writing him again?
Iâd love to. Thereâs a powerful redemption story there. I know Iâve said this countless times, but I donât see Bishop as a villain. He was doing what he thought was right â and he stuck to his guns to a tragic degree.
3) Another thing that wasn't explicitly spelled out (but had me wondering) was the redhead who Hope almost ran over in âCableâ #24. It reminded me of how Jean Grey got her powers after her best friend was hit by a passing car. Was that intentional on your part, or am I reading too much into this? I wish we were able to see your scripts!
Good eye, Adam. I was nodding to a few things there, actually. And because you asked so nice, hereâs my panel description from that script:
5/ Cut to a second later, from Hopeâs POV: a near fatal hit. In front of the Civic, just inches away from the bumper, is a 9-year-old girl â red hair in a ponytail, green eyes, holding a skateboard. In another life, this could have been Hope. Added bonus: this will TOTALLY freak Adam out when he reads it!
See? Duane totally keeps his readers in mind while heâs writing!
Above, you mentioned Adam presuming a relation of Bishopâs. Well, Valeria Kementari believes knowledge is powerâ¦can you help empower her?
Mr. Swierczynski, did you intend for Storm to be Bishopâs grandmother in âThe Times and Lives of Lucas Bishop?â A lot of fans seem to think she is even though there was no actual mention of it whatsoeverâ¦
Thatâs one of those things thatâs been teased for years. I say let the teasing continue!
Although you canât reveal that detail about Bishop, maybe you can help Sharif Youssef out with his questions about our favorite time-hopping hunterâ¦
Duane, I love your version of Bishop! Youâve added so many nice little touches, such as Bishop thinking of Shard as a little girl being branded on the face every time he blinks his eye; the fact that he lived with Stryfe for twelve years without ever allowing himself to think of Hope; that he nuked his parents in Australia; Bishop waving that hilarious badge because he really believes heâs still a cop.
Just like Forge, you never left any question that he was cracked and completely delusional about the concept of time-travel. The way he filters history into his obsession made Bishop hilarious, tragic and compelling. My questions:
1) Was your limited series meant to show that the Bishop we've been reading about all these years was always crazy or at least always on the verge? Do you think he just snapped when Hope was born?
I really appreciate the kind words, Sharif. I donât think Bishop was always crazy. He grew up hearing about this monster who had ruined everything â but only when the events of âMessiah CompleXâ drew near did he realize that, âOh crap, itâs happening! Now! I need to stop thisâ¦â
2) At the end of issue #24, Bishop seems to feel like a proud Poppa because he helped to raise Hope as a badass. Do you think all along he subconsciously wanted her to become a monster?
Not at all. Itâs not so much pride as âWhat have I done?â One wonders what Hopeâs life would have been like if Bishop had just left her alone.
3) Did you ever consider having Bishop discover that Layla Miller triggered the rebellion in which his parents were killed, and that she intentionally turned the man who would kill his sister into a soulless monster? Is Bishop's story over?
Bishopâs story is not over. Heâs probably off the playing field for a while, but I think thereâs more to learn about our disgraced mutant cop.
Marcus Martin has an assortment of queries on a variety of topics. As they say on Jeopardy, âAlex, Iâll take Potpourri for $300â¦â
1) I'm kind of sad about what happened to Bishop within this series. I mean, never once did the X-Men get his side of the story â just small tidbits of his past/their future. I truly do think that he lost his way as a hero, as he was so obsessed with killing Hope. So I just have to ask you...wasn't there any chance of redemption for Bishop at all that he could have taken?
As long as he clung to the idea that Hope had to die, I donât think anything could have convinced him to step off the road he was traveling. By the end of #24, though, Bishop does seem to understand that maybe his actions have had the opposite reaction. Maybe he helped create this âmonster.â
2) With Deadpool returning for the final issue, are we going to be getting the fourth wall jokes/yellow boxes? Or will you be portraying a different side of Deadpool? Whose perspective will this story be from?
This will be the Deadpool we know and love, yellow boxes and all. The story jumps back and forth between Cable and Deadpoolâs POV, though thereâs a reason Deadpoolâs name appears first in the title.
3) What other Marvel characters would you like to try to write and why?
Iâve been lucky to have been given at crack to my favorites â the Punisher, Werewolf By Night, Moon Knight, Wolverine and various X-Men. But I think I wonât die happy unless I get the chance to do a little Spidey. Somewhere. Somehowâ¦
Speaking of other Marvel characters, Marius665 would like to know more about a certain non-mutant with some powerful pummeling abilitiesâ¦
I know itâs not an X-Men question, but I just wanted to ask whatâs going on with âThe Immortal Iron Fist?â Are there any plans to bring the series back with either yourself as the writer or another creative team? And when is Misty going to have the baby? At the time it was coming out, the book was easily my favorite series! I loved how you continued after Fraction/Brubaker and just kept the ball rolling. Thanks for that!
Thank you, Marius665. So glad you dug the series. For a while there I thought the series would be coming back soon, but alas, it wasnât to be. Still, I canât imagine that Danny and Misty will be on the sidelines all that long.
ClanAskani concludes todayâs verbal âassaultâ with two questions: one about Cableâs omission and the other about your inspiration.
1) There's been a notable absence of anything Askani-related in Cable. Is this something that you wanted to avoid as a writer? Or something that Cable wanted to avoid teaching Hope?
As I mentioned earlier, Cable was awfully closed-mouthed about a lot of things when it came to Hope. I think heâd be worried about filling her head with stories of the Askani â that it would cloud her own judgment.
2) Your upcoming novel, âExpiration Date,â has to do with time travel. Is this an idea you came up with while writing âCable?â What else can you tell us about this book?
The idea for âExpiration Dateâ has been in my head for over ten years. It started as a sequel to my first novel, âSecret Dead Men,â and was about a time-traveling detective (heâd take cases in the past, then go forward to the future to âsolveâ them via Google). But when I started writing it, I realized the key to the story wasnât the time-traveling gimmick; rather, it was the screwed-up family relationships. Thatâs probably the closest tie to âCable,â actually. Instead of a father/daughter dynamic, I played around with a son/dead father story.
Before we go, itâs time for this weekâs âBehind the Xâ question, where fans get to learn about what makes X-writers tick. As your answer to the last query was a bit touchy-feely, tell usâ¦what was the last movie you watched that made you cry (and who were you watching it with)?
Geez, George â what, are you trying to get me thrown out of the hardboiled tough-guy club? Truth is, Iâm always a sucker for grandfather/grandson-type weepies. Specifically grandfather/grandson weepies featuring Peter Falk. The end of âPrincess Bride,â when Falk tells Fred Savage: âAs you wishâ¦â Gets me every time. And itâs not even a sad moment! Then thereâs âRoommates,â Peter Yatesâ 1995 âcomedyâ where we watch Peter Falkâs character raise the D.B. Sweeney character from boyhood, and guide him through various traumas and tragedies. I openly wept at the end of that one (and I was alone, thank you very much).
We ended on a sentimental note today, so letâs get a little âdarkâ next week. That should be easy enough, as Paul Cornell â writer of âDark X-Menâ â joins us to discuss those mutants with menacing motives. Be sure to read up, write those questions down, and email me just as soon as you can. Put an âX-Positionâ in the subject line and Iâll be sure to drink a green beer for you on St. Patrickâs Day. Ah, you X-POSITION-itesâ¦youâre always after me lucky charms!

Novartis' recombinant human relaxin-2 drug candidate RLX030 (serelaxin) reduced all-cause mortality in a placebo-controlled Phase III study involving 1,161 patients with heart failure, and met one of its two dyspnea reduction primary endpoints. The Relax-AHF trial used two different scales to measure reductions in dyspnea, and one of these was met, but the other didn't reach statistical significance.
The study involved administering RLX030 to patients on admission to hospital in the form of an intravenous infusion for up to 48 hours, in addition to standard of care therapy involving loop diuretics. Novartis says it plans to discuss the trial results with regulatory authorities worldwide, and will present the data at the American Heart Association congress in Los Angeles next month.

As you may know (cuz I've told you every personal story I have), my mom's and my claim to fame is that we walked out of E.T.
In my precocious youth, I went in believing (thanks to the review I'd read in Time) that E.T. was going to be the 2001 of my generation.
About halfway thru the movie, I thought my mom was crying during one of the sad parts. I checked, and it turned out she was laughing. I nudged her and said: Let's split. We did. Giggling as we hurried up the aisle.

Attainment of the biting jaw is regarded as one of the major novelties in the early history of vertebrates. Based on a comparison between lamprey and gnathostome embryos, evolutionary developmental studies have tried to explain this novelty as changes in the developmental patterning of the mandibular arch, the rostralmost pharyngeal arch, at the molecular and cellular levels. On the other hand, classical theories in the field of comparative morphology assumed the involvement of hypothetical premandibular arch(es) that ancestral animals would have possessed rostral to the mandibular arch, in the transition from agnathan to gnathostome states. These theories are highly biased toward the segmental scheme of the vertebrate head, and the concept of premandibular "arches" is no longer accepted by the current understanding. Instead, the premandibular domain has now become of interest in the understanding of cranial development, especially in its rostral part. As newer theories that consider involvement of the premandibular domain, the neoclassical and heterotopy theories are here compared from evolutionary developmental perspectives, in conjunction with the development of nasal and hypophyseal placodes, in the context of the evolutionary acquisition of the jaw. Given recent advances in understanding of the lamprey development, evolution of the Dlx code is also discussed together with the evolutionary scenario of jaw acquisition.

TORONTO -- Raptors guard T.J. Ford was cleared to resume
workouts Wednesday after visiting a spine specialist in Cleveland.
It isn't immediately known when Ford, injured last month during
a game at Atlanta, will begin working out again. There is also no
timetable for his return to the Raptors.
"The prognosis is looking good for a full recovery and a return
to basketball," Raptors director of media relations Jim LaBumbard
said after Toronto beat Philadelphia on Wednesday night.
Ford will return home to Houston and work out with former NBA
player John Lucas. Ford and Lucas also worked out together after
Ford was injured in 2004.
Ford had to be carried off on a stretcher after hitting his head
on the court when Atlanta rookie Al Horford knocked him to the
court on Dec. 11. He suffered a stinger in the fall, an injury that
causes a painful tingling in his arms and hands. Ford spent the
night in hospital before being released the following morning.
Toronto is 6-7 since Ford's injury.
In 2001, Ford was diagnosed with spinal stenosis, a narrowing of
the openings of the vertebra the spinal cord runs through. He was
also injured in a February 2004 collision with Minnesota's
Mark Madsen, then missed the final 26 games of that season and the
entire 2004-05 season with Milwaukee because of neck surgery.
Ford was sidelined by a stinger during last season's first round
playoff series against New Jersey. He missed six games earlier this
season with a stinger in his left arm, the result of a Nov. 20
collision with Dallas' Josh Howard. Ford, who returned to action on
Dec. 7, is averaging 14.1 points and 6.8 assists.

Generic, sucks, sorry.
Yeah dude. This song was somewhat of a joke and ended up being my most popular. It's funny and disappointing in some ways. I just made it to show how easy it is to make the shit on NG that people love. Personally I agree with you. It's super generic and unoriginal. Nothing I would ever want to listen to, but I just made it for fun.

YES!!! We finally have a police department kicking @$$ and taking names. If these guys get this town cleanedup.. we just may finally loose the Reputation we have had forever.. We can get Military Families moving in instead of crack whores and Meth maggots.
Kudos to the Chief and his guys.. I hope they add another good one with this new money. Ft Knox is growing..we should benefit from this.
Does all of our officers live here in Muldraugh? I think they should be required to live here.. my only beef with them.
#2 Sep 7, 2009
Really do you think they are doing a good job? I think there should be more done! The only time I ever see the police in Muldraugh they are always at the police station and not on the streets!
#3 Feb 1, 2010
I know a few of the cops personally. They don't just sit at the station. They are out there and you just don't know it. Pay a little attention and you might gewt a clue.
#4 Feb 25, 2010
I think more could be done! It is pretty bad when the Meade County Sheriff Dept. has to come in and crack down on the drugs in Muldraugh! What are the local cops doing? I have heard the only one that is even out & cares for the community is constable Henry Bailey! You do see him more than the hired police officers.
#5 Jul 8, 2010
Give me a BREAK, GET Lamar Jones back,c how u like that. I bet u shut up & stop whining then. muldraugh so tiny ,what huge amount of drugs r u talking of & where n muldraugh

I happened upon a muldraugh police cruiser this morning on the way back from Brandenburg on 144. Was still in the 35 mph zone right past Big O tires, we found ourselves behind a tractor..cruiser behind the tractor, and me behind the cruiser..the tractor was going 30mph which was only 5 mph below the limit..this clown in the cruiser (who was on a cell phone) passes the tractor while in a zone with double yellow lines, and immediately guns it(still in 35 mph zone)..the tractor turns off and I finally catch up to the cruiser at the red light at bypass road..the cruiser turns left and heads toward Flaherty at 60+ mph..turns off at Buck Grove..these guys should know and follow the law on passing and speeding like everybody else..license number 63-883..young red headed cop..
#18 Aug 23, 2013

The lead negotiators expect the Kansas House and Senate to agree quickly on energy legislation.
The measure would allow two coal-fired power plants in southwest
Kansas over the objections of Gov. Kathleen Sebelius'
administration. She's expected to veto the final version.
The bill also would restrict the Kansas secretary of health and
environment's power to regulate greenhouse gases.
The House and Senate agree on those major provisions but
disagree on other parts of the bill.
Negotiators from both chambers had their first meeting Tuesday
and plan to meet again Wednesday.
Rep. Carl Dean Holmes, a Republican from Liberal, said an
agreement could come Wednesday. He leads the House team.
His Senate counterpart, Pat Apple, a Louisburg Republican, said:
``I don't see anything that's a stumbling block.''

A frilly shirt and a parrot aren't usually part of a dominatrix's outfit, but this isn't your typical dungeon vid. Here, Sharon Kane's an 18th century captain who isn't too pleased with her crew. Airele Cole is stripped and cuffed to a pillar where she's flogged, while BeBe LeBadd and Tina Fox receive similar treatment (while chained to the ceiling). Other than the costumes, there's nothing too inventive here; nonetheless, this vid could be recommended to B&D newcomers.

Dear American Girl,
This year, I joined the cheerleading squad. I'm proud of being a cheerleader, but every time I bring it up, my friends say, "That's not a real sport." Cheerleading is tough and I definitely think it's a sport! What should I do when my friends put down cheerleading? Is there anything I can do to change their minds?
-Not so cheerful
Here's your advice:
Your friends may think that you just stand on the sidelines cheering "Go, team!" Explain to them that cheerleading is more than that. It's similar to gymnastics or dance, and there are lots of stunts and tumbling moves.
-Elizabeth, age 11, Florida
Just laugh and shake it off. If you're proud of your accomplishments, it shouldn't matter what your friends think. I'm a cheerleader, too, so I know what you mean.
-Sarah, age 12, North Carolina
Remind your friends that you don't always need a ball or racket to participate in a sport.
-Isabella, age 13, Peru
Invite your friends to a game so that they can watch you cheer. After they see you in action, they might change their minds.
-Hope, age 12, Florida
Confidently tell your friends, "I think cheerleading is a sport. That's my opinion, and you don't have to agree." It's OK to not have the same opinion as your friends.
-Susie, age 13, Oregon
Maybe your friends feel left out when you talk about cheerleading. Bring it up only occasionally and talk about things that everyone will enjoy.
-Krupa, age 9, Pennsylvania
Explain to your friends that cheerleading is complicated and requires strength and teamwork. Perhaps that will help them understand that cheerleading is a tough activity.
-Caitlyn, age 12, Alabama
When your friends tell you that cheerleading isn't a real sport, say, "That's your opinion. I like cheerleading, and I'm sticking with it. Could you please keep negative comments to yourselves?"
-Julia, age 10, Ohio
Have any of your friends ever been cheerleaders? If not, then they don't really know what it's like. Be strong and tell them that they're not being very fair to you. Stand up for yourself and your sport.
-Rachel, age 12, Ohio
Try hard and be your best. If your friends see how serious you are about cheerleading, they might stop putting it down.
-An American Girl fan, age 10, Wisconsin
Just ignore these girls. As long as you like cheerleading, it doesn't matter what other people think.
-Calpurnia, age 12, Maine
Your friends might put down cheerleading because they don't get how hard it really is. Explain to them that it takes a lot of practice to get those routines just right.
-Elise, age 12, Massachusetts
You don't have to try to prove to these girls that cheerleading is a sport. Their opinions don't matter—all that matters is that you have fun doing it.
-Aditi, age 10, New Jersey
You may not be able to change your friends' minds, but you can say, "Can you please stop saying that cheerleading isn't a sport? It's hurtful."
-Emma, age 11, Massachusetts
Just tell your friends that cheerleading works up a sweat, and in your opinion, that's what makes it a sport. That's what I tell people when they say that dance isn't a sport!
-Emily, age 10, Iowa
If these girls continue to give you a hard time about doing something you love, it might be time to hang out with other pals. Remember, true friends will support you, no matter what.
-Lily, age 9, Texas

PixelJunk Eden Tropies and YouTube system detailed
In a post on the US PlayStation Blog, Q-Games boss Dylan Cuthbert has outlined details of PixelJunk Eden's Trophies, and given a decent insight into how the game's YouTube uploading system will work.
"The YouTube upload feature is going to revolutionize how people share tips," he said. "Up until now it has been limited to people with video capture equipment, but from now on, anyone can record their game and upload it directly to YouTube from within the game!
"It is as simple as pushing one button to start and one button to stop and upload, and there is no affect on the gameplay thanks to the power of the PS3 and its abundance of SPU processors."

I just found this section of support. I posted in another.
I am trying to create 3 pictures under the main picture as seen in the demo of the theme. I made them as posts, as I thought I should have, however, only the titles are showing, and they are showing underneath one another.
How can I correct this?

A new video detailing the planning and environmental considerations being put into Apple's new Cupertino headquarters has leaked.
Apple's plans for a second headquarters were approved in 2012 by Cupertino city council and development is already well underway.
Once complete (sometime in 2016), it will be an environmentally friendly building filled with green space. Let's see how it came to be that way.You may remember seeing the concept art for Apple's shiny new headquarters-to-come.
It's 260,000 square meters, and it notably resembles some sort of spaceship.
Just check out this view from above.
When first presented with plans for the building, this Cupertino councilman said "the mothership has landed in Cupertino."

How are you going to announce your pregnant to your loved ones and what week/month? Maybe you could share if you already did something cute and had a wonderful reaction?
I'm looking for cute ways to announce we're pregnant with #3 when it happens. We just made calls each time about 2 days after we found out. Since this will most likely be the last pregnancy, I want to do something special.
I'm also debating waiting to announce until we have the first ultrasound. I usually get one in the beginning to verify a pregnancy.

As so many people have bickered over moral issues of executions I have to wonder if they do offer a deterrent to crime.
Sure it stops repeat offenders but does lethal injection, electric chair, or gas really put fear into the criminal? Lethal injection is what we might offer a pet to prevent further suffering from an incurable disease. It would seem to be a humane ending for terminal cancer, AIDS, and leukemia or many other degenerative incurable diseases. It could certainly save us a lot of money and suffering in the last very painful hours of clinging to life. It could offer a dream death in your sleep to those whose hours of living have become an intolerable pain. That's right, Kevorikian is not a bad person. This is certainly no deterrent to a monster who is showing no remorse for the slaying of innocent people. I am not even certain that the electric chair or gases are a scary way to be executed. How can you compare that to being stabbed, bombed, or shot several times with a firearm?
What might be more fitting would be to turn the murderer over to the family of their victim. Public stoning and clubbing may become a spectator event. In some third world countries the sports stadiums are filled when judgment is passed. They cheer as body parts are amputated for crimes such as stealing or rape. Criminals would think twice before being publicly humiliated and tortured for a few weeks. Put them in the stockade in the hot sun and whip them, stone them, club them, put things under the fingernails, etc. Let the victims' family decide what to do. The next person may reconsider before committing a brutal merciless murder.
I am not suggesting this is the norm but as I watch violent hate crimes become more common I realize something must be done to curb the increase in this behavior. I have sympathy for the victims and families that were left behind. There is little we can do to change the past but we can offer them a better closure. I also realize that my family, friends, or myself may also become a causality to a heartless, cold-blooded, pre-meditating killer. If someone as peaceful as John Lennon can be slain we could all become victims.

Fantasy Phenoms: Worth the Wait?
Stephen Strasburg sits on the roster of 88% of fantasy baseball leagues on CBSSports.com. Not that he's earned any of his owners a single point yet.
He's thrown nary a major-league inning and isn't slated to join the Washington Nationals until mid-June at the earliest. Yet his ownership numbers eclipse those of everyday major league players like Braves third baseman Chipper Jones, Boston starter Clay Buchholz, and even Oakland's perfect game hurler, Dallas Braden. Needless to say, the kid is in demand.
And he's not the only up-and-comer making his presence felt in the fantasy world without actually, well, doing anything. Drew Storen, Mr. Strasburg's teammate at Triple-A Syracuse and potential Nationals closer of the future, already belongs to 14% of CBS fantasy leagues. Baltimore prospect Chris Tillman belongs in 22%.
High ownership numbers of still-in-the-minors prospects like Messrs. Strasburg, Storen and Tillman are far from a new thing. But knowing a call-up date is only half the battle. The player still has to perform at a fantasy-worthy level. The best that can be said for this strategy is that it turns out a mixed bag of results.
Tampa Bay's David Price (owned in 46% of CBS leagues a week before his promotion) made his major-league debut Sept. 14, 2008. Over five appearances, he collected 12 strikeouts, a win, a save, and finished with a 1.93 ERA. The numbers were impressive, but they hardly justified the commitment from owners who had him on their roster in June.
More on Strasburg
Baltimore's Matt Wieters (83% owned a week before his call-up) debuted May 29 last year. A month later, he was batting .235, had hit just two home runs and had driven in just six batters, causing his owners to dump him en masse. But Mr. Wieters went on a tear in mid-July, bringing his average up to .279 by month's end. He finished the season with respectable nine home runs and a .288 average in 354 at-bats.
In 2008, Evan Longoria (63%) got a mid-April call from the Rays and hammered 27 home runs while batting .272. Owners who had drafted him would be taken on a rollercoaster ride, though, as he finished April with three home runs and a .273 average, but dipped to .210 by May 15. By Independence Day, he'd climbed up to .281 with a .885 OPS.
Even San Francisco's Tim Lincecum (30%), who has won the past two NL Cy Young Awards, had a rough start to his career. He was greeted in his May 6, 2007, debut by home runs from Philadelphia's Shane Victorino and Ryan Howard, giving up five earned runs in 4 1/3 innings. He finished 2007 with a 4.00 ERA.
In 1989, Ben McDonald, a heavily-hyped pitcher out of Louisiana State, was, like Mr. Strasburg, selected with the first overall pick. He signed a contract with Baltimore that August and was pitching for the Orioles by September. His games with the Orioles at the end of that season were mostly a learning experience. "It was frustrating for me," Mr. McDonald says. "I had to learn to pitch at the big-league level. I went home a lot of nights and banged my head against the wall."
In 1990, Mr. McDonald came back with a vengeance. He posted a 2.43 ERA and 1.037 WHIP, finishing eighth in Rookie of the Year voting. Though fantasy was in its relative infancy then, he recalls plenty of fans telling him that he belonged on their fantasy teams. Mr. McDonald is often unfairly painted as a bust, but he retired in the middle of the steroid era with a 3.91 ERA, 1.26 WHIP, and had four seasons of 12 or more wins while pitching for lackluster Baltimore and Milwaukee teams. Most pitchers hit their peak at age 29. Arm injuries forced Mr. McDonald to retire at that age.
He explains that it takes time to learn to pitch in the majors. Being the closest approximation to Mr. Strasburg in the last 30 years -- a college pitcher with insane strikeout totals and the hype to match -- Mr. McDonald said it took him about 150 innings at the major-league level until he fully learned how to pitch to the world's best hitters.
There is no question that the prospects who get fantasy owners drooling eventually pay dividends. They just tend to do so the year after their debuts. Although Mr. Strasburg is arguably the most talked-about pitching prospect in recent memory, the most that fantasy baseball owners can do now is hope he is promoted soon, then cross their fingers that he can buck the recent trends. Considering all those fantasy leagues presuming his greatness, that's a lot of pressure to place on one right shoulder.

Surprise: Iran Concludes Election Was Totally Legitimate
Guess that solves that mystery.
Iran's Guardian Council has declared that they found "few or no errors" during their completely untrustworthy partial recount of the disputed presidential election. Hillary Clinton, along with pretty much everyone else, is skeptical. "They have a huge credibility gap with their own people as to the election process," she said. "And I don't think that's going to disappear by any finding of a limited review of a relatively small number of ballots." Perhaps
OJ Simpson President Ahmadinejad can win back some of that credibility by finding Neda Agha Soltan's "real killer." [AP via Yahoo]

God, I know you exist, at least I hope you exist, because if you don't there is no reason for me to pray to you, and there is nothing that will ever get better because I've learned one thing: Nothing ever gets better and, if it does, it won't be for very long.
Some people think life gets better and better, but that can't be true if we all end up dying in the end anyway. So, God, I am going to believe, if for no other reason than it makes me feel better, that you can hear me right now.
God, I heard or read it somewhere in the Bible that you reward those who seek you. I guess that is why there are still a lot of people who go to church on Sunday: They are seeking you because they believe you will reward them.

This is a nice little studio apartment in a great location, next to the Rathausplatz. The owner maintained good communication and met me as arranged at the entrance. He gave good instructions in English or German. The place was clean and well furnished. The two little balconies are an added plus.
I stayed for two weeks and found it pleasant, efficient and convenient. WiFi is provided. It faces west so may get a bit warm in summer, but I was there in the fall and the temperature was fine - the heat works well when it is chilly. The frequent churchbells are delightful. There are cafe's nearly next door and the ample street life throughout the old town is all within easy stroll. So is the wooded hillside area just to the east of the old town. The university is a few minutes' walk, and the train station can be reached on foot in ten minutes.
Note that late night noise from street revelers is an issue on weekends. Otherwise it is generally quiet. I would definitely recommend this, and hope to return myself.
Chic, lovely little apt. Clean and beds were very comfortable. The location is amazing .Literally steps to the market, shops, bakeries ...We loved having our breakfast on the terrace in the morning.

It is refreshing, in this environment, to read Joel Shuman and Brian Volck's Reclaiming the Body. Theirs is not a typical jargon-laden bioethics treatise. Shuman, a moral theologian, and Volck, a pediatrician, have crafted a different kind of book: a readable monograph that takes as its starting point theology and faith, not medicine. They are interested in exploring the meaning of the physical body, not just as it is viewed by the medical establishment, but how it is presented in Scripture and in the Christian tradition. The book is clearly addressed to Christians, who are encouraged to approach medical matters "as if God mattered."
They begin by questioning whether theology "has something to offer" anyone who must deal with the medical community. Their answer is yes, and in chapters that explore the power of the medical establishment, the meaning of the body, and other themes, they examine the many ways in which Christian Scripture and practice can inform our approach to medicine.
