Both Spain and Portugal have submitted their arguments to the European Commission in a bid to avoid penalties for breaching the fiscal rules, expected to be announced on 27 July.
Lisbon sent its reasoned request on Monday (18 July) to make its case for reducing or even cancelling such a penalty. Spain submitted its reasons the week before.
Both governments vowed that they will adopt further measures if needed in order to fulfill the Stability and Growth Pact's deficit threshold of 3% of GDP.
They are expected to get an extra year to cut their deficits below the mandatory 3% of GDP once the fines are announced. Portugal should meet this target this year and Spain in 2017.
The fine could amount to 0.2% of GDP of these countries and the freeze of their structural funds for 2017.
In the case of Spain, the fine could be more than €2 billion and for Portugal it could be up €346 million.
However, the executive is expected to propose a symbolic fine given the efforts made by both governments in the past, the new commitments announced in their reasoned requests and the shaky political outlook in Europe.
According to the rules, the lack of effective action to meet the deficit targets should be the only criteria to fix the fine. But the commissioners have indicated over the last days that the rules are "intelligent".
"We are open for dialogue. The idea is that we are able to take onboard the arguments that the ministers provide," the EU Commissioner for Economic Affairs Pierre Moscovici said on 7 July when the sanction procedure was launched.
Eurogroup President, Jeroen Dijsselbloem stressed on 11 July that "the question is what will make these countries this year and next to solve their fiscal problems."
The executive's openness came after repeated calls from Madrid, Lisbon, Paris and Rome to avoid "absurd" steps when it comes to enforcing the fiscal rules, as Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi warned.
"Sanctioning the past doesn't make political and economic sense for countries that are already taking effective action, as in the case of Portugal," Finance Minister Mario Centeno wrote in the letter to the Commission.
"Every day I am more convinced that the sanction will be zero," Spain's acting Minister of Economy, Luis de Guindos, said last week. "The reason why I am optimistic is the injustice that would represent imposing a sanction on Spain" in light of the efforts made, Guindos added.
The executive launched the sanction procedure against both countries on 7 July. Once the Ecofin Council endorsed its negative opinion, the institution is expected to come up with a fine on 27 July.
More commitments
In order to avoid a multimillion euro penalty, the Spanish and Portuguese governments pledged additional adjustments to meet their deficit targets.
"The Portuguese government is ready to adopt fiscal measures to correct any eventual deviations on the budgetary execution," the Portuguese letter submitted on Monday said.
Portugal's Ministry of Finance said that it has "contingent measures" worth €542.8 million (or 0.3% of GDP) to be adopted in case of deviation from the fiscal path.
Meanwhile, the Spanish government pledged a €6 billion increase in corporate taxes, and additional €1 billion by bringing to July the end of this year's budget.
However, these efforts could fall short of the Commission's demands.
In the country-specific recommendations issued on 18 May, the Commission set up a fiscal path which would be the basis for the new recommendations under the Excessive Deficit Procedure, Moscovici said.
According to May's recommendations, Spain should reach a deficit of 3.7% of GDP in 2016 and 2.5% of GDP in 2017. To reach these targets, the Commission expects a significant structural effort (measures excluding the impact of the economic cycle) worth 0.25% of GDP this year and 0.5% in 2017.
Spain's deficit was 5.1% of GDP in 2015.
That would imply that Spain's new government should adopt additional cuts or raise taxes amounting to €2.5 billion this year and €5 billion in 2017.
In its negative opinion on Spain, the commissioners complained that the country did not take advantage of the better-than-expected economic conditions to accelerate the deficit reduction.
Meanwhile, Portugal should cut its deficit to 2.3% of GDP this year, from 4.4%.
The structural effort requested to Portugal for this year (0.25% of GDP) would be in line with the additional efforts promised by its government.
But according to the Commission's recommendations issued in May, Lisbon should also achieve a fiscal adjustment of at least 0.6% of GDP in 2017.
In 2013, Spain received three extra years to cut its deficit below the mandatory 3% of GDP of the pact.
Despite the fact that this was the third time Madrid had been granted leeway since 2009, the deficit reached 5.1% of GDP in 2015, higher than previously announced.
The European Commission's latest forecast predicts that the Spanish deficit will be 3.9% of GDP this year and 3.1% in 2017.
In April, the executive and the ECB concluded that the needed progress on fiscal consolidation in Spain "has come to a halt, with part of the structural adjustment implemented in earlier years being reversed".
Following the elections on 4 October, a three-party coalition led by the Socialist Party came to power in Portugal. The new government failed to submit its draft budget for 2016 by 15 October, as the EU's fiscal rules said, and sent the draft proposal only on 22 January 2016.
After assessing the first draft, the Commission concluded that the budget was "in clear breach of the Stability and Growth Pact", and requested more measures.
Portugal has been in the corrective arm of the Stability and Growth Pact since December 2009 and was asked to bring the deficit to below 3% of GDP by 2015. For 2016, the Council recommended that Portugal should make a structural effort of 0.6% of GDP.
- 27 July: expected date for Commission's announcement on the fines.

In OEChem TK, the term canonical SMILES is used for a unique SMILES string that encodes the connection table of a molecule, but no chiral or isotopic information. Consequently, two stereoisomers always share the same canonical SMILES, since their stereo information ignored during the canonicalization process. For generating a canonical SMILES, use the OECreateCanSmiString function.
OEChem TK's canonical SMILES terminology corresponds to Daylight's 'unique' SMILES definition.
In OEChem TK, the name canonical isomeric SMILES is used for a unique SMILES string that also encodes isotopic and stereo information. Due to the unambiguity of canonical isomeric SMILES, they can be used as a universal identifier for a specific chemical structure. For generating a canonical isomeric SMILES, use the OECreateIsoSmiString function.
OEChem TK's canonical isomeric SMILES terminology corresponds to Daylight's 'absolute' SMILES definition.
LINGO is a very fast text-based molecular similarity search method. It is based on fragmentation of canonical isomeric SMILES strings into overlapping substrings.

It seems like all I want to do lately is google pictures of beach desktop wallpaper. I settled on this one:
I think it's because I've officially reached my winter quota.
I know, I know, I made my manifesto printable last month, but still. It's been snowy and cold enough that I'm starting to go a little stir crazy. And is it just me, or do things seem more difficult to accomplish in winter?
Everything feels more cumbersome. Driving is precarious and slow-going, it's really hard to wake up because you feel cocooned in your plush comforter (and also, the dark and cold makes it feel like the middle of the night even at 7:00 AM)… even clothes are uninviting! In the fall, I rejoice to get out my sweaters and boots, but come February when I'm still wearing the same 3 sweaters all the time, it just leaves me feeling frumpy and blah.
Spring! my soul cries. Spring should be here now! Ah, but not for another month, says the annoyingly cheery weather man. Fine, I reply icily, putting my chunky sweater back on.
Sometimes life fields as unwieldy as mid-February in the midwest. Nothing works quite right, you've forgotten what the sun looks like, and you are desperate for the new air to breathe.
That's why this verse has been such an anchor for me lately.
I had to paint some springy flowers and happy polka dots on it. Don't they seem hopeful?
The two phrases that I'm especially leaning on are "Your answers make me great" and "You lengthen the steps I can take." Have you ever heard this before? Whether you have or not, let it soak into your soul, because who else's answers can make you great? Sometimes people offer nice answers or okay answers, but the only One whose answers make me great- filled with hope and goodness again- is the Lord.
That is a breath of new life in this stale winter air.
And so is the second part. Sometimes we don't feel like we can take another step. But Jesus. Even now, he helps us move our feet forward in faith, and and we look behind and see that a small step turned out to be a leap.
Thank you, Lord for this. This love letter of yours is making me great. It's filling me up with spring time even as the earth remains in winter's wait.
I hope this feels like breathing new air for your soul today. At least for a moment. Hang on, kindred spirits. Spring is only a month away!

Today shows like HBO's Six Feet Under, with its modern, edgy sensibility, seem to have resurrected the American public's interest in death. On the other end of the spectrum, the growing movement to reclaim our end of life rituals through home funerals proves that what is old is sometimes new again.
Death in America has a complicated and colorful history. Disease, war, invention, and industry have brought myriad changes to our experience of dying. As our cultural perceptions of death have evolved, so have our rituals.
Early gravestones proclaimed, "Prepare to die and follow me." The fear of a sinner's eternal fate loomed large in the minds of many of the first Americans, who lived closely with death. By the Civil War era, many historians suggest, the "dying of death" had already begun; public health systems took shape and more liberal concepts of death as a painless inevitability arose. Undertakers tasked with the duty of escorting the bodies of fallen soldiers home to their families ushered in a new era in burial practices. Our once-intimate knowledge of and experience with death has grown increasingly more distant since that time. We have literally lost touch with death.

Several years ago, Delta began experimenting with a new fare type called Basic Economy. The fare provides an opportunity for greater savings, but with limitations that may not be right for all travelers. As Delta expands this fare to more markets, United and American and preparing to offer a similar fare type later this year. What are the restrictions of these fares and how does it fit within your corporate travel policy? Our UNIGLOBE experts answer these and other questions.
Where will we see these fares and what is the price difference?
Delta began testing their Basic Economy back in 2012 in a very limited number of leisure markets. They have slowed expanded the offering and we expect to eventually see them in almost all markets. United and American have both announced that they will launch these fare types this year. While United and American have not yet finalized the names or attributes of their fares, all indications are that they will follow the same restrictions as Delta.
The fares are aimed at those travelers for whom price is the primary factor and are willing to forego certain flexibility and choice. Essentially, this is a response to ultra-low fare carriers like Spirit. We have seen that on typical domestic routes, prices are 10%-20% lower than standard economy. In real terms, the discount has ranged from $15 on a short one-way up to $50 on a longer round-trip.
What are the inclusions & exclusions of these basic economy fares?
The basic economy fares are differentiated from standard economy based on 3 main factors: seat selection, upgrades and ticket flexibility. When buying a basic economy fare, seats are assigned at or after check-in, but cannot be selected in advance. Additionally, when you purchase these fares, there is no opportunity to upgrade to a premium economy seat or first/business class, whether by paying or through your frequent flier status. Finally, these tickets are essentially "use-it-or-lose-it". Whereas standard economy tickets can be changed for a fee, basic economy fares cannot be changed or refunded.
However, the onboard experience is the same as standard economy – the food selection, entertainment, seat recline and other related features once onboard the aircraft is not differentiated between those who bought basic or standard economy fares. In addition, these fares do earn you frequent flier miles.
I have status through the frequent flier program. Ho does it affect me?
When buying basic economy fares, only a limited set of frequent flier status benefits will be available to you. At the airport, you will continue to have access to priority check-in, security and boarding. However, your status will not entitle you to select preferred seats, nor will they give you access to premium economy or first/business class.
How does this affect my company's travel policy?
Many corporate travel policies require the use of "lowest logical fare". It is up to each company to determine if the use of these fares types is considered "logical". We have seen many companies exclude these fare types from their program due to their significant restrictions. If you are uncertain of the role of these fares in your travel program, ask your company travel manager, or your UNIGLOBE agent.

TACA 19 Mayis Konseri
|Dear Members,
T.A.C.A. is pleased to present a wonderful musical program for all of you. Please join us for a delightful piano and cello program performed by two talented artists: Ms. Elif Allenfort and Mr. Alexandre Debrus. Some of you will remember these artists, from two years ago when they performed a memorable recital for us at Ganz Hall.As you realize the date of the concert is May 19th., The same day Ataturk came to Samsun and the same day our coordinated resistance began against the invading forces back in 1919. Come and join us and celebrate this memorable day and enjoy beautiful melodies from Ms. Allenfort and Mr. Debrus.Ms. Elif Allenfort, Pianist
A Native of Turkey, Elif Allenfort demonstrated her substantial musical talent at an early age. She began her lifelong study of piano at the age of seven. Her precocious talent earned her early admission to the Hacettepe University Ankara State Conservatory in Ankara at the age of nine. Her first major performance was a concert with the symphony orchestra in Ankara, playing Mozart Piano Concerto K. 488; she was 13 years old. During her decade studying at the Ankara Conservatory, Ms. Allenfort performed throughout Turkey, appearing on stage, radio and on television. She graduated from Ankara Conservatory in 1993, earning the rare honor of being the top graduate in the conservatory and the University at large. Her accomplishments at the conservatory also earned her the distinguished "Ihsan Dogramaci Highest Artistic Achievement" award. She was one of the youngest graduates ever from Ankara State Conservatory at age 19, having finished her studies one year ahead of the usual time.
After graduation, Ms. Allenfort continued her education at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels, Belgium, and later at the prestigious Queen Elisabeth Musical College.
Upon moving to the United States in 1996, she received multiple scholarships to study at Roosevelt University Chicago Musical College. She completed her Master's Degree with honors, and was immediately admitted to Roosevelt's Artist Diploma program where she obtained her post-graduate degree.
An active chamber and solo performer, Ms. Allenfort has continued to develop her performance career through a regular schedule of recitals, orchestral appearances, special engagements and collaborative efforts with notable Chicago musicians.
Ms. Allenfort taught at the Metropolis School of Performing Arts, where she was the Head of the Piano Department for nearly a decade. In addition to her performance career, Ms. Allenfort currently manages the Elif Allenfort Piano Studio in a Northwest suburb of Chicago. She is also on the faculty of Sherwood Community Music School at Columbia College Chicago.Mr. Alexandre Debrus, Cellist
Born in 1976, into a family of musicians, Alexandre Debrus, at the age of three, received his first violin lesson from his uncle (a composer and violinist) and at the age of four started to play the cello under the guidance of his mother.
At the age of twelve, he gave his first cello concert and when sixteen he was admitted to the class of Luc Dewez at the Royal Conservatory of Music of Mons. After graduation at the age of nineteen he completed his musical studies at the Queen Elisabeth Musical College. He also studied with Mischa Maisky and Marc Drobinsky at the Chigiana Academy of Siena, where he earned awards and scholarships. He worked with Marc Drobinsky in Paris and with Yvan Monighetti at the "Musikhochschule" in Basel.
He has performed in numerous concerts in Belgium, France, Switzerland, Germany, Serbia, Italy, Spain, Greece, the United States, Russia, Argentina, Israel, Japan and in China.
His musicality and virtuosity have inspired composers as different as Robert Janssens and Sébastien Lienart from Belgium, the Hungarian Laszlo Kiraly, the American James Demars, the Belgo-Canadian Michel Lysight and the French Composer Alain Jomy who has dedicated several works to him.
He has recorded twenty one CD's as a soloist and with chamber music ensembles under different labels, such as Pavane Records, EMI Classics, RCA Victor Red Seal (BMG), Artès Classics, Warner Classics.
He recently recorded the Johann Sebastian Bach Six Cello Suites and the Trios 1 & 2 to Felix Mendelssohn with the Trio Carlo Van Neste, always under the Pavane Records label

Job Description for PHP Developer
PHP is a flexible and powerful scripting language that computer programmers use, especially in the development of web-related tools, applications, and services. A PHP developer is simply someone who performs this work as part of a team within a company.Read More...
A PHP developer is often an integral part of any IT or information services department within a company that maintains a dynamic web presence. The PHP developer helps to ensure the smooth running of the various web-based processes and infrastructure that power these functions. Processes that may seem simple, such as registering an account or the secure handling of e-commerce transactions, are typically the kinds of things a PHP developer creates. PHP developers typically use that scripting language with other programming languages to facilitate the creation of easily managed, menu-driven systems and to access the data and reports stored within databases in the website's infrastructure. Because such access and the materials stored within them are often very dynamic, a PHP developer spends a great deal of his or her time finding and eliminating potential scripting errors within the web application's systems.
To work as a PHP developer, a person must typically have at least a bachelor's degree related to computer programming and development, which heavily incorporates the usage of PHP scripting and associated tools. Most developers will seek out internships while in school to acquire rudimentary experience before joining the job market. PHP developers typically work in an IT office environment during regular hours of the day, but some companies require these scripting programmers to be available on call 24/7.

IT Cosmetics is a brand that I have always been intrigued with because it feels like one that 'just works'. Its hard to explain, but the brand has stayed away from gimmicks, the founder, Jamie Lima's story is amazing and to be honest, from someone who loves watching YouTube makeup videos, they've stayed away from relying heavily on beauty influencers to grow. Dont get me wrong, I have seen some IT Cosmetics products on beauty channels before but it was the ones that influencers sought out themselves and it really surprised them.
Today however, IT Cosmetics is on every PR haul in a massive way with boxes upon boxes of new and old pieces from the brand. The hype makes sense as almost a second launch with the brand now available in Sephora.
I've collected all of the IT Cosmetics pieces that I own to review for you today, I hope you're not sick of seeing this brand yet! Legggggggo…
IT Cosmetics CC+ Collection boasts a foundation, concealer and powder all with SPF 50+. This is an incredible claim and extremely convenient for those who forget to wear sunscreen or cant find one that mixes well under makeup. Overall, this range fell short for me with my favourite product being the concealer, least favorite being the powder and the so-so product being the foundation. One weird thing I noticed was that, despite all these products being in the medium family, tones and colours varied quite significantly…
YOUR SKIN BUT BETTER CC+ CREAM WITH SPF 50+ (Medium, $49 CAD)
I know a lot of people who swear by this product and I can appreciate why, but for some reason I just cant get this product to blend well into my skin. I really have to sit there with a beautyblender, brush and a few drops of oil to work this into my skin to make it look like one blended canvas. I think I might be an anomaly though since I haven't heard this complaint from anyone. The CC cream name is misleading as the coverage is medium to full, it has a faint lemon type of scent to it and is very moisturizing. If you're looking for a high SPF product, I would give this one a try.
YOUR SKIN BUT BETTER CC+ EYE COLOR CORRECTING FULL COVERAGE CREAM CONCEALER (sold at Ulta, not Sephora …yet?): (Medium, $36.28 CAD)
This is a beautiful concealer, and the star of the IT Cosmetics CC+ Collection for me: it's medium coverage, moisturizing and long lasting. The colour is a warm light to medium yellow toned shade. The bonus of having SPF 50+ under my eyes sealed the deal for me on this one and I would repurchase it as soon as it comes to Sephora (so I can collect my ebates! lol). It's really as simple as that, and I love it!
YOUR SKIN BUT BETTER CC+ AIRBRUSH PERFECTING POWDER WITH SPF 50+ ($45 CAD) in Medium
I cant believe this powder has an SPF 50+, I find that amazing! But… that's where the praise ends for me. It's really chalky, adds no coverage and makes my skin look more dull after applying it. The shade is a medium neutral, almost slightly pink shade. All in all, a no go for me
This is my hero product from the entire IT Cosmetics line and what has kept my faith in tact as I test out new products that may fall flat. This product is not your regular green neutralizing cream to offset redness. It's actually a mid-tone skin shade (which I wish they released more colours of but it does work for my Mac NC35 skin tone) to neutralize the redness around my nose and look extremely natural. I often just apply this to my face in areas where I typically get red and leave the house for a no-makeup look. This lasts all day, neutralizes my redness and looks flawless under foundation. Beauty swatched approved!
BYE BYE UNDER EYE CORRECTOR (Medium, $38 CAD)
I'll start this mini-review off by asking, can Ulta give me my money back please? This was the biggest waste of money I have spent on makeup in a while. What I wanted this to be was a peachy under eye corrector to cancel out my veins and wear well under makeup. You'll notice that the product in the bottle (bottom left hand image) looks a lot creamier than what i'm giving it credit for, but that's thanks to the back of my makeup brush that I used to dig into the product to see if swirling it around would help with the stiff texture. Spoiler alert: it didnt. What I got instead was this super light (despite being called 'medium') thick yet sheer and dry paste type of consistency that ages me about 30 years. Needless to say, I couldn't figure this one out and it was not beauty swatched approved.
So, this one is pretty unfair for me to review since I thought I was a lot braver than I actually am at the time of purchasing it. Every time I go in to apply this (you're supposed to start in the tight-line area of your eye, aka the upper waterline, and work your way up through the lashes so you get a black tightline and mascara application in one swipe) I chicken out and use it on my bottom lash-line instead because of how small the wand is. Now, for a lower lashline mascara? this stuff is hella beauty swatched approved but for it's intended purpose? This things makes me cry, squirm and sneeze all at the same time so I guess this gets a beauty swatch is scared? sorry beauty squad, I know thats unfair but it's the truth!
This is pretty much the exact opposite of what I look for in a mascara. This gave me sparse, spidery and clumpy lashes that almost makes my lashes look smaller (if possible). I'm super confused with this product and it makes me second guess my skills (do I just not know how to apply mascara? maybe) – but for me this was definitely not beauty swatched approved
YOU SCULPTED! UNIVERSAL CONTOURING PALETTE FOR FACE AND BODY ($52 CAD). I vividly remember swatching this palette in Ulta and stopping dead in my tracks with the pigment and creaminess of this palette. Without second thought, I dropped this in my basket and ran all the way back to Canada with it. Surprisingly what I use this palette more for is eyeshadows than I do for contour products although I love it for both. The shades can be described as follows:
- Soft Contour is the lightest contour colour (cool tone) would be best suited for fair skin tones (it looks ashy on my NC35)
- Light Contour is a bronzer (warm light terracotta colour)- light to medium
- Matte Highlight is a bright, matte ivory shade
- Bottom, first row is a warm bronzer for medium skins – tan skins
- Bottom, middle shade is the deepest contour shade: neutral brown for tan – dark skins
- Bottom last shade is a sheen, ivory light colour for highlight
This is a great palette and beauty swatched approved.HELLO LIGHT ($32 CAD)
Well! If you made it to the end of this blog then I send warm fuzzies your way and thank you for bearing with me. Curious to hear your thoughts, least/most loved it Cosmetic product? Wish list or regret list product? Talk soon x

FMSI's Chart of the Month – March 2014 Edition
Congratulations to Generations Federal Credit Union for having this month's FMSI Chart of the Month, which highlights their actual staffing effectiveness. Their excess waiting for work metric (Jan 2014) was down over 44% when compared to their performance from two years prior (Jan 2011).
The Actual Staffing Effectiveness (ASE) chart displays how often front-line staff is processing transactions (shown as a % of total processing hours) within specified productivity ranges. It provides a quick snapshot view of how effectively branches are being scheduled overall throughout the organization. When you are staffed for high performance, the first four bars (green portion of bar) of the Staffing Effectiveness Chart should equal the acceptable waiting for work* (WFW) time percentage. Anything over these ranges (in red above) represents excessive waiting for work time. ASE charts are updated monthly for all FMSI Branch Staff Reporting System and Scheduler clients.

At some point in your life, you have to deliver a speech on a public platform. It is better to know the details about speeches and their kinds so that when your turn comes, you can choose a correct speechwriter as per the category of your speech to get a polished speech to present. If you are looking for a speechwriter whose custom sample on your topic you can check first and place the order thereafter, you can visit here – DoMySpeech to fulfill all your requirements.
Informative Speech – Most of the speeches are informative. The objective of the speech is to get certain points across to the target audience. It is widely popular in the professional world. In such speeches, there should be a logical flow of ideas and objectives so that everyone can relate and remember it clearly.
Debate – This is a widely popular speech type in the schools and colleges. Even though you may prepare your own debate speech as it can be a freestyle based on the points you want to put across, but getting is done by a professional speech writer that help you nail it just like the way you imagined it to be.

Apart from these, there are various types prepared speeches where you will get enough time to prepare yourself for the performance and available speech writing services to get the best speech to deliver.

Paneer Capsicum Rice
Today's post for Blogging Marathon #13 is a simple rice dish. Diet in the postpartum period has to be subtly flavored. Strong flavors are not suited for the mother as well as the infant. This rice fits the bill perfectly. It is also easy to prepare and provides the nutrients as well.
You need:
Paneer- 150 grams,cubed
Cooked rice - 1 bowlful
Capsicum- 1/2 a small one, sliced
Onion- 1, sliced
Garlic- 2 pods, grated
Cumin seeds- 1 teaspoon
Freshly ground pepper powder- 1 teaspoon
Oil- 2 teaspoons
Salt to taste
Heat oil in a pan and put in cumin seeds.
When it splutters add the paneer cubes and let it brown on the sides. Toss gently so that the cubes don not break.
Next in goes onion,garlic,capsicum,salt and saute till the capsicum is almost done.
Put in the cooked rice and mix well.
Add the pepper powder,mix well and cover and cook on low flame for a few minutes for the flavors to blend.
Remove from heat and serve hot....
Note :
Usually left over rice is not served to the new mother.So use freshly steamed rice.
Instead of ready made pepper powder, freshly ground pepper powder gives a better flavor to the dish.

Watch Party, MSU vs OSU
So at 6-1… Gosh that feels good saying that! At 6-1, the Top Ranked College Football Team in Michigan… GOSH… IT feels even better saying that! We'll be battling for perhaps sole possession of 1st place in the BIG TEN! That is even better!
Our Spartans take their magical 2008 ride to another level as they take on the Buckeyes this Saturday in East Lansing. The game starts at 12:30 p.m. PST and will be shown nationally on ABC. This weeks watch party is going to where the turnout has been the strongest… at the Old Pro in Palo Alto!
Last event at the Old Pro, we had 15 people… so I'm challenging the entire Bay Area to get up for this and let's make it at least 45 Spartans! If we do get that many, we may need our own section so I am looking for folks to RSVP ASAP so I can contact the bar for reserved seating. If we can not get that many, then we will send out another blast letting people know that they we need to get there early to secure tables.
Keep in mind that the Old Pro always has a huge Ohio State alumni turn out, so we're asking everybody to make an extra effort this weekend so we can fill the place floor to rafters with GREEN!
For the those living in San Francisco, we'll also be hosting another CalTrain caravan from the city down to Palo Alto in case any one wants to get a huge caravan going! Since we did not get a huge response last time – sorry Justin – we want to get RSVP's for the train as well. We will be taking the 10am Train from SF and it will arrive in Palo Alto by 11:02am.
If you are interested in showing those Buckeyes whose boss, please RSVP to firstname.lastname@example.com and come out for a what will be an awesome game and another MSU Victory!

Had a major tidy in the garden, yesterday, it needed it. Interesting that plants are a little later in flowering this year and quite a few didn't make it through the winter however all is very verdant and the aphids are rampant along with the plant growth.
Ruby and Harriet are still happily broody so yesterday we gave them 6 hopefully fertile eggs to incubate and hatch (all being well)
- As they come off the nest just once a day for a flap, feed, drink and clean up they do produce the biggest and smelliest chicken poo ever!
- They have got some new calls and sit next to each other gently clucking away (hopefully in contentment at sitting on eggs)
- They are not nest fixed - whoever gets into the shed first always seems to go to the nestbox closest to the door
It's also being very odd being in the garden and no chickens helping you remove the border to the lawn, rushing around in the hope of mealworms and dust bathing right in front of the lawn mower. Still, twenty days to go

1st day in Boracay, we had a long walk from Station 2 going to Station 1. One of our agenda is to try this shake station. I had Watermelon Pineapple for P128, served in a mason jar. Perfect refreshment! Sweetness is so natural.

Order some shake, bring a good book and sit beside the beach 💯
I don't wanna go back to Manila.... 🙃
Hazel M got chocolate peanut shake, I forgot the exact name. And I ordered Mango watermelon. I wasn't able to try the famous Jonah's since sadly they were out of Mango.

Station 1.
I loved the fruit shakes here. Very thick... Can i call it a smoothie?
The avocado banana i got last night was good.. I tasted sugar granules lng at the end.. Banana ised could have been more ripe.
The banana choco peanut and banana peanut dream were almost the same except the first has chocolate syrup. Both are thicker than usual because of the peanut used. Quite chunky.
Green mango was really sour.
Avocado bailey's today was awesome... Bailey's tendency is to settle at the bottom so have a stir before drinking.
Love these shakes!

was skeptical of the name and prices. Mango hake was just the same as jonah's. Pretty good. The food was pretty high if you are on a budget. We ordered their lechon kawali and karekare. Both were very good. I would now be coming to jonys every trip i take to boracay.

So I don't know which one's the original and which of them two offer the bests. Jony's or Jona's? Well, I had to try them both. I tried the best seller, Peanut Butter Dream, for P100. It was delicious, rich inflavor and not too sweet. I also like the place and the view of the beautiful waters of Boracay and the powder-like sand of Station 1. Also, if you're after a nice view of the sunset while eating dinner, this is the place. I did not try any of the dishes though..

Just the view alone merits this place a 5 star rating! Their veranda/terrace/whatever you call it is the best place to hang.
One of my favorite things to do on the beach is people watch. Wala lang aliw!
Okay na ko sa mango shake! Basta hindi maasim ang mangga, solved na. My cousin ordered banana nutella, I think. I took a sip, find it okay but not really my type.

I'm confused though...which one came first? This or Jonah's shakes?

I'm glad I read Lesley Ardelle E's review otherwise I wouldn't visit Jony's. Thanks for the reco Lesley Ardelle E and Jairus d!
It is better than Jonah's! I tried Jonah's the day before for comparison (I ordered the same thing -- mango banana) and I find Jonah's shake overpowered by the milk and the banana. I can barely taste the mango.
Jony's is much better! The mango, banana and milk flavors are perfectly balanced. It's slightly cheaper than Jonah's too. Plus the ambiance is nicer.

Had the Buko shake and thought it was really good. The only downside were the coconut bits. I seriously wanted to borrow a strainer to filter out the bits which slightly choked me. LOL
I also tried Jennie V's watermelon shake. Yum! That variant was more refreshing than what I got.

I got my voice back 2 days after drinking the bananutella shake. It was time for another Jony's shake!!
The banana peanut butter, banana choco vanilla, and the bananutella still were very tempting, but I got the watermelon instead. Boring!
I ended up drinking 3/4 of my watermelon shake and 1/3 of Alexa's buko shake. No effect on my voice. Matabang daw! Hahaha!
Fruit shakes were normal, huge servings

Jony's is partners with Mayas so yahooo!! Shakes with our Mayas brunch! Added this on my must try list after Jairus d recommended this to me.
Glanced at the menu and only one item caught my eye: BANANUTELLA!! So gooood!! And the glass is huge!!
My voice was normal before we started our meal, and it started to change while I was drinking my shake. Now I have no voice!!! (Minus one star. What's in that shake??)
But it was worth it!

I would have never tried Jony's if not for looloo. I saw Lesley Ardelle E's review and these are her words that made me go here: "ANG SARAP, ang sarap sarap sarap sarap!" Pag hindi ka pa naman napapunta nyan diba?!
I ordered their choco banana peanut shake & I'm so glad I was convinced by her review because it's really DELISH and better than Jonah's shake IMHO. It's bigger, cheaper and I can taste the flavors more.
It was so good that I had to order another round! So yeah, Jonah's shake killed it but Jony's version is a slayer yo!

Cozier interior than Jonah's. Not as crowded so I'm not sure if that's a plus. Lesley recommended this so off I went here and skipped Jonah's na. Been there, done that.
I ordered take out Banana Choco Vanilla. Yummy. P95. My friend ordered the Bananutella which was also good. But they looked alike in take out mode. LOL.
Thanks, Les!

That's what it says on their sign, and the waiters attest to the fact that they are the original fruit shake place in Boracay, NOT Jonah's. Hehe.
Jony's and Jonah's shakes are equally delicious! The price range is almost the same. Some of Jony's shakes are a tad more expensive (like 5 or 10 bucks more), but I think their servings are larger. Their glasses have the same circumference but Jony's glass was taller.
The place is also much much CLEANER and nicer looking. The restaurant is on the beach front, like Jonah's, but the difference is, the water does not reach up to the steps! At Jonah's, when you step down from the restaurant, you step down on the waves. It's ok if the water is clean, but the water in front of Jonah's is a bit icky, with foam and green moss. The interior design of Jony's is also very elegant: white walls, wooden furniture, nice ceiling fans. Jonah's interiors are a bit rustic, with a Mexican color scheme. It's so hot inside, too! Their electric fans are the wall mounted kind that's made of plastic! It's a lot breezier at Jony's, maybe because the ceiling is higher, and there are wall openings at the side and at the front.
What Jonah's has over Jony's is the pricing of their FOOD. Jonah's has affordable pica-pica under Php 150, so it's perfect for merienda. Jony's is partnered with the Mexican / Filipino restaurant Mayas, and their food is really expensive. Php 200 + for appetizers.
But I don't go to Jonah's for the food, I go for the shakes, and the shakes are very filling already. So if I were to choose, I would rather go to Jony's for my fruit shake fix from now on. The setting is better, cooler, more relaxing, and cleaner! The view is better too.
Oh, at Jony's, I ordered the Bananutella (shown on the lefthand side of the picture), and the following day I ordered the Banana Peanut Butter Dream (right side). ANG SARAP! Ang sarap sarap sarap sarap! Waaahh, I want to go back to Boracay now just to get my shake fix! It's so hot pa naman today!!!

Dollar-Saver Thanksgiving Deals You Shouldn't Miss!
We're happy to announce that Thanksgiving is pushing through despite the budget deficit deadlock in Congress. But you need not throw away the hard-earned dollars; just enough will do for the family to enjoy a nice get-together feast. We scoured the Internet for some of the best budgeted preparations. So here's
to life, and here are the tips arranged by dollar allowance.
$80 (for 8 people) Epicurious
With the economy still slumping, a lavish Thanksgiving might not be on the table this year. But we can still—and should—feast. We just have to squeeze our fistful of dollars a little harder. Our menu and six creative and practical tips will help you extract the most from your money and feed eight very, very well.
$50 Scary Mommy
In light of our awesome Thanksgiving help campaign, I'd like you all to share with us your best tips for stretching your food budget. Thanksgiving, for most families, centers around a large, delicious meal and preparing for a feast can add up fast…

When it comes to streaming, I'm something of nostalgia curmudgeon.
Rather than ruminating on the past, my preference is to focus on the future. And while we've seen great progress in the adoption of online video (and the range of streaming solutions that makes online video more useful) in the past decade, I'm much more excited about the impact that streaming will have on business communications in the next 10 years.
That's why it's time to re-visit a topic ...Continue Reading →

Today the House of Representatives is voting on Repeal of the Patient Protection Affordable Care Act that was passed in March. With Republicans in control of the House it is likely to be passed, it may or may not make it through the Senate.
Either way here is what bill NEEDS to do. We do not need a 3.8% tax on the sale of my home or a $50,000 tax on failing hospitals, or taxes on companies who make medical equipment.
1) Allow purchase of insurance across state lines. Medical Mutual of Ohio, for example, is an outstanding plan. I cannot get it in Illinois.
2) Extend HIPPA to the individual market. HIPPA currently, goes from individual health to group health, or group health to group health, but if you go from group health to individual health, you can be denied. What HIPPA does is basically if you have a pre-existing condition and you had insurance they cannot exclude it from a group plan. Make that the same if you go to individual health. That will give people incentive to purchase health insurance. That said, if you choose not to purchase insurance until you get sick, the insurer should not be responsible to treat you. It would be like buying home insurance while your house is burning down. I would say you can purchase it after you get sick with say an 18 month waiting period or we extend the state risk pools and you need to stay on that for 18 months before an individual plan will ensure you.
3) Malpractice law suits.- This is a big one. I think if there is incompetence involved yes you can sue to no end. Meaning if I need surgery on my left leg, and you operate on my right leg well that is incompetence. If I have a heart attack and I die in surgery, well that is not incompetence it is human nature, you should not be able to sue for that.
4) Eliminate the practice of getting insurance through your job. I know when I had my corporate job, I hated it. I stayed there for years because of health benefits. That was before I knew I could buy it on the individual market for less. That practice was designed as a "perk", could still be a perk, but do not require a company to ensure you. Your company does not pay for your auto insurance (unless you have a company car, which is also a "perk").
5) Medicare and Security- As written earlier this week, we need to work until we are older. Sorry. When Social Security was signed into law in the 30's, the average person was dead by age 63, so the average person never collected it, let alone collect it for 30 years. Medicare in the 60's, the average person did not live into their 70's, so the plan again was not designed to cover you until you were in your 90's. Change retirement age to age 75.
6) Have hospitals display what charges are before you go into surgery. I had a client who gave birth by a C-Section and the Anesthesiologist charged $14,900 for an epidural. The going rate for what I hear is $2900. Should the insurance carrier have to pay $14,900 for the epidural? Should the insured?? Have a maximum each place can charge maybe by their rating The Mayo Clinic should be able to charge more than Silver Cross Hospital in Joliet, IL. A board-certified Anesthesiologist should be able to charge more than a guy who just got out of Medical School, but make it realistic.
7) Children on policies: The new law says children can stay on a parent's policy until age 26. This one I do not understand. I do understand it if they are pursuing an advanced degree. With Celtic Insurance in Illinois, a 26-year-old can get a co-pay plan with a prescription for $83 a month. Not bad!! As far as providing insurance for what were called children with pre-existing conditions, if you follow the idea of HIPPA being extended to the individual market, they can be insured so long as the family had insurance at the time of birth of the child and never let a plan lapse for more than 63 days.

Do You Wanna Know a Secret? (2001)
You may or may not have known that my Patriots lost in the Super Bowl this year. Yes, it hurt immensely. You also may or may not have known that prior to the game, I made a friendly wager with Fred Young, aka Fred the Wolf, proprietor of the great site Full Moon Reviews, and fan of the New York Football Giants. The bet: the fan of the winning team gets to pick a movie for the loser to review, and Fred gave me this one, a low-budget slasher flick with Teen Star Chad Allen and Joey "Joseph" Lawrence. Let the pain commence.
Do You Wanna Know a Secret? is about a group of affluent kids who attend a small Connecticut liberal arts college, and go to Florida for Spring Break to party it up. Haunting one of the girls in the group is the grisly murder of her boyfriend however many years before, and when a kid that's giving her a hard time at a rave is murdered, FBI detective Jeff Conaway thinks there's a connection. Then when the rest of her friends are offed, he realized he's probably right, it's just a matter of whether he can put things together in time to save at least a couple of them.
Whoa! If this didn't have like an hour of dead space to start us off, it could've been a lot of fun; but it did, and it wasted that space in a most annoying way. This group of friends have this thing where they like to sneak up on and startle each other. That's what the bulk of the first hour is, the idea that someone might die, but instead it's not the killer, just another friend trying to freak out the other. Once or twice is cool, but ten times, you've more than spent that nickel. That's kind of too bad, because this could've been a lot of fun, especially with Teen Star Chad Allen, Joey "Joseph" Lawrence, Jeff Conaway, and veteran character actor Jack McGee (trying and failing to affect a Southern accent). The kills, when they were there, were fun too in a bad-teen-slasher kind of way. The problem is, you can't create a pile of one-dimensional bad slasher film stereotypes, then expect us to enjoy watching them startle each other for an hour.
I loved seeing Teen Star Chad Allen here. You might be wondering why I'm adding the "Teen Star" to his name. Long story short, I bumped into a buddy at the mall about 15 years ago, we sat in the food court to catch up, and somehow our conversation devolved into us pointing people out and saying who they looked like, and I saw someone who looked like Chad Allen. For some reason, I needed to call him "Teen Star Chad Allen", and the name has stuck. I get so few opportunities to use it, so I'm going for it here. Also, if you're wondering, my pointing out the Teen Star Chad Allen look-a-like did lead to my buddy and I discussing the TV movie Camp Cucamonga. (Look that movie up and see how many big names are in it. Amazing flick.)
Whoa! Joey "Joseph" Lawrence is in this as the girlfriend's new boyfriend. I love that he went the Joseph route, a la Rick Schroeder. People that are new to this blog may not realize that when I started the DTVC, back in 2007, I went by the name "Matty", meaning I get what Lawrence is going through here. After a few years, I just felt like I needed to shake that teen blogger image, so I went back and changed everything to "Matthew", just to give things a more mature feel. People don't realize that I also had a pop song out in the mid 90s, and used to appear regularly in Tiger Beat magazine. Alas, I've since realized that I can't escape my boyish good looks, even in my early 30s, so I've decided to go back and embrace my Matty past. Whoa!
The Final Girl was played by someone who was exceedingly Reese Witherspoon-esque. I mean, I don't know if she could've been more Reese Witherspoon-y if she'd been caught in a love triangle between Teen Star Chad Allen and Joey "Joseph" Lawrence, and approached the whole thing with an "awe shucks, I'm just a down-to-Earth down-home girl that just wants to go to the fair and eat some funnel cake, and instead I got these two dreamy hunks fighting over me!" Unfortunately, our Final Girl fell short of the precociousness that made Witherspoon Witherspoon, and thus makes her only Witherspoon-ish. A Romantic Comedy/Teen Slasher flick starring Teen Star Chad Allen, Joey "Joseph" Lawrence, and a Reese Witherspoon-ian lead actress would've been fantastic. Throw in Jaleel White, Ben Savage, and Melissa Joan Hart, and this could be the best thing ever.
Unfortunately, one actor that wouldn't make it into this remake I'm proposing is the late Jeff Conaway. In '01 he was probably having a tough time, probably fighting his demons and his addictions, which were all well documented. That's probably why he wasn't in the movie more-- and maybe why so much of the first hour was so boring, because Conaway was absent throughout that-- which is too bad, because he was pretty sweet as the hard boiled detective trying to crack this old case that's haunted him for years. I love Conaway, and I love seeing him in anything, so he was a welcomed addition here. Rest in peace Jeff Conaway, you were one of the good ones.
This is currently available on Watch Instantly. I don't know, it depends on how much 90s nostalgia you have a hankering for, because this is a bit of a painfest. I could only amuse myself so much with a Whoa! every time Joey "Joseph" Lawrence spoke, before I was bored to tears in that action-less first hour or so. Could've been fun, seems like it should be fun, but isn't fun. Go dig up Camp Cucamonga if it's nostalgia you're after. As for me and my future betting, well, my Boston teams aren't looking so hot right now, so I may put that on the shelf.

I really enjoyed this review. I will probably never see this one (I'm a blu ray snob), but you never know. Joseph Lawrence would be extra dreamy in HD...ReplyDelete
As for the Boston pain - believe me, I'm right there. Looks like I'll more time for the bog if this madness keeps up.
Grrr. Makes me want to throw a ball at a ref.
Haha, don't I know it! The hockey team hasn't played well since the goalie went public as a Tea Bagger, the basketball team is old except for the PG that can't stay on the court, and we're just hoping the baseball team lays off the chicken and beer long enough to make it to the playoffs. All this while the Giants win the Super Bowl, the Rangers are the best team in the NHL, and don't get me started on Linsanity! [End Rant]ReplyDelete
Maybe I could use some Joseph Lawrence in HD to get me through these tough times in Boston sports-- I mean, come on, it's been almost a year since the last championship!
I've actually owned this film for quite awihle now but somehow haven't gotten around to watching it yet.ReplyDelete
Good Review!ReplyDelete
Haha, "Joesph Lawrence". His serious attempt at acting with a new name is just like "Charles" Sheen and "Jonathan" Bon Jovi.
Awesome review! Yeah, this film is a turd. However, I think the killer's outfit is absolutely hilarious. He/she must have gotten it at the 99 cent store or something. Thanks to the both of us, the secret is out on this film: IT SUCKS.ReplyDelete
That's right Ty, "Charles" Sheen was a fantastic one, I'd forgotten about that. I can see "Chucky" being youthful, but Charlie is common among adult men-- it's Charles that no one says. Definitely losing there.ReplyDelete
Oh man Fred, the killer's outfit, I forgot to mention that. It looked like the Puffy Shirt from Seinfeld. Yeah, this one was pretty painful.

Your Overall Health and Joy are Boosted
"There is no better exercise for your heart than reaching down and helping to lift someone up." —Bernard Meltzer
When you're generous, we're generous to yourself. Your entire being undergoes a feel-good transformation at the cellular level when you support others, which boosts everything from your psychological outlook to heart and immune system. Instead of despairing about the world, you're embracing it wholeheartedly, taking on tough challenges to try to transform them with goodwill and optimism. You're also choosing to be "other centered," which streams wellbeing back to yourself.
Service is simply, powerful medicine. Research shows that teenagers who get turned on by service learning and volunteer work are much happier and more optimistic. They also get better grades and use drugs less. Volunteering even helps you live longer, according to University of California–Los Angeles researchers.

Yeshayahu Leibowitz
Accepting the Yoke of Heaven is a compelling collection of thoughts on the weekly Torah portion by the acclaimed Jewish philosopher, Yeshayahu Leibowitz. As he leads us from Creation to the death of Moses, Professor Leibowitz takes us on a dramatic journey of philosophical discovery. Revealing his rational views on the nature of God and his relationship with Man, Leibowitz challenges our conceptions of the purpose of prayer and the presence of holiness in the world. He demands compliance with Jewish law for its own sake, irrespective of expectations of reward or punishment. Written with unflinching honesty and conviction, Accepting the Yoke of Heaven is a work of startling erudition.

There's been a break in the sea of pink over at the flamingo exhibit. In the past week, we've had six tiny, white puffs in the form of flamingo chicks hatch out on exhibit. Generally, we let the chicks stay on the nest for the first five days, where they are well looked after by their parents. But once they become a bit more mobile and are ready to head out of the nest, we bring the chicks and their parents behind the scenes where they can get through the first few weeks of rearing together in a more protected environment.
|Newly hatched chick in nest. Photo by Dennis Dow/Woodland Park Zoo.
Ideally the flamingo parents will feed and raise the chicks on their own. Some are first time parents and others are experienced. Zookeepers watch over the young families very closely, and are ready to step in to incubate eggs or rear chicks if it looks like any of the families are in need of a little help.
|Photo by Dennis Dow/Woodland Park Zoo.
So far, all of the parents are doing a good job. The first week or two are the most critical to make sure the chicks are properly feeding and parents are being attentive. We expect the young families to return back on exhibit in the next few weeks once the chicks are old enough and coordinated enough to be safe, and that's when you'll be able to see the new additions.

We tend to picture flamingos in huge colonies engulfing their wetlands home. With the Chilean flamingo now at near threatened status in their native South America, we need to ensure that those numbers don't dwindle. Keeping the wetlands pink is about more than just saving flamingos—protecting this umbrella species leads to the preservation of countless diverse species that also call the wetlands home.
Woodland Park Zoo's Wildlife Survival Fund supports The Grupo Conservacion Flamencos Altoandinos, a conservation project dedicated to studying and protecting South America's flamingos. Your visits to the zoo help make our support of such programs possible. You're helping us make a pinker world—thank you!
