MANILA - President Rodrigo Duterte has signed Executive Order (EO) No. 5, which adopts "Ambisyon Natin 2040", the 25-year long-term vision of the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) to wipe out poverty and hunger in the country.
"The Philippine government hereby aims to triple real per capita incomes and eradicate hunger and poverty by 2040, if not sooner," the EO read.
The EO also seeks to identify a set of milestones that will guide the successive medium-term development plans of the Philippines.
Under the EO, four Philippine Development Plans (PDPs) will be crafted and implemented until 2040.
These PDPs are anchored on Ambisyon Natin 2040, which proposes that "By 2040, the Philippines shall be a prosperous, predominantly middle-class society where no one is poor.
Our peoples will enjoy long and healthy lives, are smart and innovative, and will live in a high-trust society."
According to NEDA, this ensures sustainability and consistency of strategies, policies, programs and projects across political administrations.

This traditional, Florida-style island cottage was completed in 2001 and is situated less than 200 yards down a private path to a sugar, sand beach on the Gulf of Mexico. This home has only one elevated, single-level, floor plan providing ease of access and family-friendly living. It is designed to provide the utmost comfort while capturing the scenic beauty around it.
Features include: Outdoor living environment includes a heated pool with wrap around wooden deck, covered outdoor bar, pool table, barbecue and eating area. The relaxing and stylish interior retreat has a spacious private master suite with study/sitting area and master bath, along with two additional bedrooms in a split floor plan, and a second large bath. Sleeps six with one king, one queen, and two twin beds. Baby crib and high chair are included. A convenient utility room with washer and dryer adjoins the kitchen.
The village of Upper Captiva: The village of Upper Captiva sits on the northern tip of North Captiva Island, a secluded tropical island in Southwest Florida. This bridge-less island is unique among the sandy coastal barrier islands of Florida. North Captiva Island is surrounded by the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico and Pine Island Sound, about six miles off the mainland of Florida. Boca Grande lies to the north and Captiva and Sanibel lie to the south.
This tropical island is one pearl in the necklace of 'outer islands' embracing Pine Island Sound. Access is only by boat or private airplane. No cars! No crowds! This has assured that the island remains unspoiled and unhurried. Its sandy beaches are decorated with an endless supply of driftwood and seashells surpassing that of the legendary Sanibel/Captiva beaches. Upper Captiva is a truly unique combination of comfort and luxury in an idyllic tropical
It is a short walk or quick ride in the golf cart to reach the pristine natural beach of North Captiva Island. We on Hidden Lane are in the popular "close to everything" neighborhood of Jose's Hideaway. The house is part of the beach lying on one of the highest coastal "back dunes" about 200 steps from the windswept shore of the wide open "fore dune" environment. There are only four other homes scattered on the secondary dunes between you and the Gulf of Mexico.
The shady bay side maritime forest and harbor side facilities are equally
convenient. The golf cart and bicycles are provided at no extra cost for exploring the island. A variety of beach accessories include beach chairs, beach towels, skim boards, kayaks and much more. Transportation to the Island is available by water taxi/ferry by fare. Boat rentals and fishing charters are also available nearby.
Other Activities: Kayaking, Shelling, Boating
My family of 4 stayed in the Hidden Beach House for 7 days in July 2009. We absolutely were excited about going to the house. Once we arrived the exceeded our expectations. We had all the comforts of home! It was exactly as it was discribed on the website. The owners once we met in person were like old firends and ever so welcoming to have us stay in their home. This was one of our best vacations. It is a vacation for those who are not wanting alot of external attractions. The only attraction we did was rent a speedboat for the day. We visited the nearby barrier islands and walked a beach that was a nature preserve. Beautiful shells were seen even an area where the sea turtles lay and hatch eggs. There were dolphins swimming all around us. A manatee was spotted on our trip to Captiva. How cool! The biggest decisions we had to make daily was 'Do we go to the beach or pool today. We saw numerous beautiful sunsets but did not make it up early enough to see the sunrise...we say next time! We will most likely be returning to the Hidden Beach House.
Very nice furnishings, everything up to date and modern. Loved the kitchen! Pat was wonderful and made us feel at home, very helpful and responsive to texts/ emails! Would definitely recommend!
Our family had such a relaxing week at the Hidden Beach House. Pat and Tom were very easy to communicate with leading up to our visit and very hospitable upon arrival. The house was just like the pictures - maybe even a little better! We thoroughly enjoyed having the pool before or after a hot day at the beach. We used the pool table, corn hole, ping pong, board games - just about everything the house offered. The golf cart is great to have for getting around the island with your beach gear, but we all had so much fun on the bicycles. The beds are comfortable, the furniture is nice to lounge around in the evenings, the screened porch was our perfect place for breakfast. We were all so tired at the end of each day even though this was our "relaxing" vacation, but we slept great! The visitors (tortoises and lizards) kept us company without being a nuisance, and the fan below the house was nice to help with the mosquitoes. We have nothing to complain about, and we can't wait until we can come back!
The photos of this home do not do it justice. The house is clean and colorful. There was plenty of space for our family of 5 (including 3 teenagers), and everyone was comfortable. Some things that set this house apart from others we've stayed at on the island was:
1. The ammenities: We had everything we needed and wanted right at the house! Pool, pool table, darts, hammocks, plenty of bikes, even kayaks and a trailer to haul them. I'm sure I'm leaving many things out- we just didn't even have enough time to play with everything!
2. The drinking water: Many homes on the island have a sulfer-like smell to the drinking water. Not this one! The water is clear and smell-free! Pat and Tom provide a Britta filter to further filter drinking water, and we really appreciated not having to lug gallons of water over to the island.
3.The location: While not beachfront, this is a great location, midway between the nature preserve on the south end, and the airstrip near the north end (take the kayaks to the sound side of the airstrip to kayak with the dolphins every day)! It was a quick stroll to the beach, or we could load all of our beach "gear" on the golf cart to set up our spot for the day.
4. Golf Carts: The cart that was provided (plus the extra cart) were in great condition and lifted to handle the bumpy roads.
5. The owners: Pat and Tom were great! I cannot tell you enough the value of being able to communicate with the owners and not with a managing entity. They answered all our questions quickly both before and during our stay.
This was our 3rd trip to North Captiva, and the 3rd house we've rented. The first two were beachfront, but were lacking in more important areas (water quality, amenities, fun). Third try's a charm! Our teenage children (19,18, and 16) were asking to come back and rent this house again to bring their friends. I think they enjoyed the downstairs rec area as much or more than they enjoyed the beach.
We had an amazing holiday in Pat's home and Pat was extremely helpful both before, during and after the trip. The house was very well equipped for everything a family needs from golf cart, kayaks, bikes, beach chairs, swimming pool, pool table, darts board. The island was idyllic and the location of the house was perfect. We had been to Disney and New York and this house was the ideal end to a busy and hectic week. Would definitely recommend.
Hidden Beach House provided an amazing retreat for our family - this home and all that is provided would be hard to top. The pool, beach toys including kayaks, and pool table were all well used by our group. The screened in front porch was also a great feature - we sat out there every morning and evening.
Pat, the owner was wonderful and helped us with any questions we had. Pat, thanks for sharing your home with us.
The island is a great getaway. We can't wait to return.

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Gameplay | PS3Blog.net
GTTV's revealed the first real trailer for Valve's upcoming shooter Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, as more information on the game become apparent from playtests at the company's headquarters in Washington.
Gaming sites report that while PC gamers will enjoy its normal control options open to them, with Xbox 360 gamers only able to use a gamepad, PS3 owners will have the option of either a DualShock, PlayStation Move and even a keyboard and mouse. I believe that's worth mentioning again — keyboard and mouse. On your very own PS3.
CS:GO will also launch with five maps for Bomb/Defuse mode, with two others for Hostage Rescue. All seven maps are based from the classic Counter-Strike 1.6 and Counter-Strike Source.
Cross-platform play between PC or Mac and PS3 players, relatively the same to that of Portal 2, was also announced, with players being joined together based on skill and regardless of what it uses to control the game on either gaming platform.
A beta will also be released in October, with PAX and Eurogamer Expo attendees getting themselves beta codes of CS:GO.

Since I have been slowing down on the blogging for the summer, I have also taken a break from the scavenger hunts. Not really intentionally. Just kinda worked out that way. But since I have missed participating, I thought I'd throw together something today.
This frog was relaxing in the pond while the boys were trying to catch critters. He never moved the whole time we were there. I guess he felt safe since he was out of their reach.
{inspiring person}
My three crazy kids are inspiring to me. They not only help me strive to be a better mom, they also teach me to loosen up and have more fun!
{written words}
Alex wrote this note for me a while back. I have it hanging on my wall by my laptop so I can see it often.
Alex invited me to a tea party. So one evening we sat in the dining room and had iced tea in our "fancy" cups with chocolate chip cookies. I set up the camera on the tripod to capture our memories.
{best friend}
Alex and Nick have this love/hate relationship going, as I'm sure most brothers their age do. One minute they are best friends, the next they are trying to kill each other. I'm not sure which I captured in this photo. :)
Thanks for stopping by! Next week's list is sponsored by me, so I better be sure to participate! :) And I'd love it if you did too!

A dishwasher is one of those appliances that you don't miss until it's broken and no longer working. When you're forced to hand-wash each and every dish that goes through your home, you'll be wishing you had a working unit. Before you go buying the first dishwasher you come across, though, you should familiarize yourself on some of their functions and abilities. While some people may try to save money by purchasing an older used dishwasher, these could prove to cost more in terms of water and electricity. If you're in the market for a new dishwasher, keep reading and we'll walk you through some of the things you should look for in one.
Arguably, one of the most important things you'll need to consider is the size of a dishwasher. The kitchens inside most homes have cut-out areas in the counter-top specifically for dishwasher units. If you purchase a unit that's too large, you may be forced to do a little extra work on the counter-tops. To ensure your new dishwasher fits properly, take a minute to get the exact measurements where your old one was. Ideally, you want a new dishwasher that's going to be exactly this size, as smaller units will leave space between the counter-tops.
Removable Racks
After purchasing and using a dishwasher with removable racks, I can say that I would never go back to traditional units without them. The reason why they are so helpful is simply because they make your dishwasher easier to clean. No matter how hard you try to prevent it, foul smells will inevitably develop in your unit. The food particles and residue from countless loads of dishes will sit in hard-to-reach areas that most owners probably won't clean. Once you remove the trays, however, you can easily get down there are spray and scrub all the gunk away, leaving you with a freshly cleaned unit that looks as pristine as it did when you first installed it.
Lastly, you'll want to consider the style and material used in a dishwasher's construction. For instance, if your kitchen features all stainless steel appliances, then a similar type of dishwasher would compliment the decor best. Ask yourself how it's going to look in your kitchen and only choose one that's going to work well the current appliances, furniture and furnishings. You don't want to end up installing a new dishwasher only to find out later that it clashes with the kitchen's decor.

Pitch Power: Crafting the Pitch for Real News III
This article discusses soil of writing and build the pitch. For this various steps have been discussed in the article. Although one used a product launch as an example for crafting a "real" news release, the strategy is extensible to any other piece of news one may have. First and foremost, be realistic when assessing the news. Consider the audience and the related news cycles. Then follow the steps above to craft news that will be covered. All these have been discussed in detail.

At this point in movie marketing history, they've almost conditioned the entire world to think that summer films should only be big escapist fantasies and loutish comedies. But like the sentient simians from the Planet of the Apes, some of us staged a rebellion last summer.
Well, to be clear, we stayed home in far greater numbers than the makers of "Independence Day: Resurgence," "Jason Bourne," "X-Men Apocalypse," "Star Trek Beyond," "Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising," "Ghostbusters" and many other sequels/reboots expected.
It seems that Hollywood, if only a little bit, got the message. The number of disappointing returns from supposedly sure-thing tentpole films between May and Labor Day 2016 might have influenced the slight but perceptible cutback in franchise product over the next four months.
Sure, there'll be the usual superheroes and the newer women-who-kick-butt aplenty ("Wonder Woman" neatly bridges both genres). Aliens, pirates, mummies, minions, cars, cars that turn into space robots, Stephen King and, yes, those discoursing apes will all be returning by August.
But there'll be fewer familiar characters and concepts this summer (Ninja Turtles begone!). And what we'll be getting in their place looks like … Well, what is that? Not something I really recognize in the glare of the sun. Could it be movies about real stuff?
"I think it's been made very clear that the audience wants new, original, diverse stories, and they're responding to them when they get them," notes Colin Trevorrow, who directed the highest-grossing summer fantasy hit of all time, 2015's "Jurassic World," but this year is releasing a character-based, could-happen-on-your-block family thriller, "The Book of Henry."
"It's a responsibility for all of us in this business to make sure that we don't just continue to make new versions of the things we already love, but to create new things that we love," Trevorrow continues. "You're seeing it in the choices that studios are making, the kind of films that are being made and the films that people are choosing to go see."
Warner Bros. sure hopes its choice to finance former Batfilm maven Christopher Nolan's epic retelling of the World War II Dunkirk evacuation will be the choice of many viewers. And British PM Winston Churchill undergoes a dark knight of the soul, as one would, on the eve of D-Day in "Churchill."
More recent conflicts get the treatment in the desert survival nail-biter "The Wall," the Marine and her bomb-sniffing dog heart-tugger "Megan Leavey" and the Brad Pitt-starring satiric expose "War Machine."
Dire history of another sort will be the subject of Kathryn Bigelow's 1967 "Detroit" riot movie. Sex rather than race is the source of unrest in Sofia Coppola's remake of the Clint Eastwood Civil War semi-classic "The Beguiled."
More murderously romantic, 19th century shenanigans unfold in the British "My Cousin Rachel" and "Lady Macbeth." Such matters go much further back, to the Middle Ages, in the "Decameron"-based, nuns-behaving-badly comedy "The Little Hours."
Which doesn't really remind us of last summer's sleeper hit "Bad Moms." But if Hollywood learned anything from its success, it was that borderline realistic laughfests about women partying too hearty need to be copied. So welcome this summer's "Snatched," "Rough Night" and "Girls Trip."
Expect more serious, and probably funnier because of it, behavior from the young ladies of edgy indies "Patti Cake$," "Ingrid Goes West" and "Landline." Meanwhile, more mature studies of women cutting a little loose can be found in the Diane Lane vehicle "Paris Can Wait," "The Lovers" with Debra Winger, the politically charged Salma Hayek show "Beatriz at Dinner" and the multigenerational trans dramedy called, appropriately enough, "3 Generations."
Men of a certain age face post-midlife crises, too, when Bryan Cranston stars as "Wakefield," Sam Elliott plays a fading movie cowboy in "The Hero," and Tommy Lee Jones and Morgan Freeman make like resort community tough guys at "Villa Capri."
But seriously — what can be taken moreso than artist biopics, especially if they're of one so incendiary and tragic as rapper Tupac Shakur ("All Eyez on Me")? The genre also comes in quirkily obscure — unless, of course, you're from Canada, where everyone has apparently heard of folk artist Maud Lewis, profiled for the rest of us in "Maudie."
And there are just some anticipated works of — dare we use this word during the sultry summer months? — cinema. See Kumail Nanjiani's semi-autobiographical film festival sensation "The Big Sick," "Hell or High Water" writer Taylor Sheridan's self-directed, reservation-set murder mystery "Wind River" and — how eclectically odd is this? — two movies by cult fave filmmakers named after deep cut Paul Simon songs, Edgar Wright's "Baby Driver" and Marc Webb's "The Only Living Boy in New York."
So there you have it. Enough real-world drama and humor that doesn't insult your intelligence to make the summer movie season of 2017 feel like fall. Enjoy it, support it, indulge in it.
While it lasts. Though this will hopefully become a years-long trend, Disney did just announce that Trevorrow's next movie, "Star Wars: Episode IX," will open in May 2019.

Information about Sending Gifts to The US
The United States of America (USA), commonly referred to as the United States (U.S.) or America, is a federal republic composed of 50 states, a federal district, five major territories and various possessions. It is one of the world's most ethnically diverse and multicultural nations, the product of large-scale immigration from many countries. So the gift-giving and gift-receiving traditions reflect a huge diversity across different states in U.S.
- When do you send flowers? Just about any time is fine when it comes to surprising her with a bouquet of flowers. But don't make the mistake of sending flowers during or after a break up. If you want her to have your flowers, go give them yourself. Another time you shouldn't be sending flowers is when you are striving to make a first impression. Why? Simply because you don't know her well enough. And, you don't want to guess and ruin what could be a potentially long and beautiful relationship.
- The Note: The thought behind the gift is as important as the gift itself. Your bouquet should always have a personal handwritten note. Don't go all cinematic and, copy paste from the first link you can click on in Google. Originality is the big oomph. So, write from your heart. Your girl will appreciate the effort and who knows, might actually like the way you've expressed yourself. Keep it straight and, simple. And if you can get away with it add a dash of self-deprecating humor. There is no better way to a girl's heart.
- What to Send: You will be spoilt when it comes to selecting flowers. There are roses, gladiolas, delphiniums or hydrangeas, and lillies in colors that can mimic the rainbow. The trick is in knowing the emotions each flower conveys. Make that extra effort to find out what her favorite flower is – if she has not mentioned one you can always ask one of her close friends. Sending her a bouquet of her favorite flowers will let her know that you pay close attention to things that matter most to her. Roses, for e.g. symbolize love and passion. They also are classic and hence good to send on formal occasions. Ask the florist to pay close attention to the vase colors as in contrast to the flower colors. For e.g. white flowers in a blue vase will make an elegant statement in any drawing room.

This is a guest article written by Food Tank Advisory Board Member Jonathan Bloom. Bloom is the author of American Wasteland and creator of the blog "Wasted Food." Find him on Twitter at @wastedfood.
We all love the fun pictures of produce oddities, epitomized by the @UglyFruitandVeg feed and sold in the East Bay by Imperfect. Yet, a new study from Minnesota raises some interesting questions on how increased adoption of off-spec fruits and vegetables might impact farmers' bottom lines.
On the plus side, new markets for produce with slightly subpar size, shape or coloring could mean new revenue streams. Then again, it could also hurt prices growers receive for their perfect items, the so-called #1 produce.
That conundrum is reflected in the (sub)title of the research project, Beyond Beauty: Opportunities and Challenges of Cosmetically Imperfect Produce. This research, undertaken primarily by JoAnne Berkenkamp for Tomorrow's Table took two forms—a survey of 138 Minnesota farmers and one-on-one interviews with many of those growers. Berkenkamp then distilled findings from both into a presentation (view slides only here).
Market cannibalization is the key issue illuminated in this study. The real question: can the produce market absorb more product without pushing prices down? At the same time, there are other unknowns. Would increased acceptance of imperfects create markets for local growers to reach consumers with smaller budgets? Would less stringent cosmetic standards from retailers mean less pressure on growers to overproduce—to ensure enough supermodel fruits and vegetables—and potentially lower input costs, financially and environmentally.
Berkenkamp noted (by e-mail) that this research complicates what had previously been a straightforward progression—the more uglies sold the better. The study highlights the need for further research by agricultural economists on the impact of expanded sales of imperfect produce and more thought on how we proceed in marketing those foods.
Some of the study's other notable findings include:
Finally, Berkenkamp stressed that the findings are specific to Minnesota. While there parallels to be drawn to other states, all farming circumstances and cultures are somewhat unique. Just like every piece of produce.

I"m happy to share some free plans and a tutorial for the upholstered storage benches that I made for Madison"s bedroom. They are SUPER easy to make. Now you can make your own storage bench or benches!
How to build an upholstered storage bench.
I built them 18″ tall (the height of a standard chair) so she can slide one over and use it as a chair when she wants to do homework at her desk/hutch. That way, we don"t have to have a designated chair in the small bedroom taking up valuable floor space and the benches double as storage for all the things that never get used but we can"t seem to part with. (Or maybe extra blankets and pillows.)
The boxes are SUPER easy to build. I upholstered mine so I used an inexpensive plywood that is sanded on one side and the other side is pretty rough. I used the smooth side for the inside of the boxes and covered the outside. If you wanted to stain or paint, you could use MDF to paint or a nice cabinet grade plywood for stain. (See "Selecting the Right Material for a project" for more information about that.) Materials needed: 3/4″ Lumber of your choice cut into the following pieces.
- 2@ 16 1/2″ x 14″ lumber
- 2@ 16 1/2″ x 12 1/2″ lumber
- 2@ 14″ x 14″ lumber
- 2@ scrap strips of lumber OR 4@ scrap blocks of lumber (any size will do)
- wood glue
- Finish nails and/or 1 3/4″ wood screws (I used my 16 ga nail gun and SPAX MDF screws)
- felt or plastic bumpers to protect your floors
- Staple gun and fabric for upholstering. I used 1 yard per box. *Depending on the width of your fabric you might need more or less.
**I glued, nailed and screwed my sides together but glue and nails or glue and screws would be sufficient. The main thing is to make sure you are keeping your box SQUARE while you attach all the sides. Use a triangle or clamps and assembly squares to ensure squareness.* The box is going to be 18″ tall overall so you want to make sure you orient the sides so the 16 1/2″ length is the "Top-Bottom" portion of your box.1. Place the two 14″ wide side pieces so they will be parallel. 2. Attach the 12 1/2″ wide side pieces INSIDE the 14″ wide pieces — creating a 14″ x 14″ square box. Use wood glue and screws or nails and screws. Either one or the other is fine. I like to shoot in some nails to keep everything in place while I drive in my screws. 3. Attach a 14″ x 14″ piece on the bottom of the box. 4. Attach cleats on to the top piece to keep the lid in place. This step is especially important if you are planning on using the "bench" for actual seating.*I used a scrap of wood about 1″ wide by 12 1/2″ long but you could use 4 small blocks of wood if you placed one in each corner.*Make sure to leave 3/4″ of space on all sides — on the outside of the cleats so the cleats will fit INSIDE the box. 5. Upholster, paint or stain.(I"m not a pro at this step and pretty much stumbled my way through the upholstering process. Stapled on some batting, sewed the fabric into a "loop", pulled it onto the box, folded the edges over and stapled it onto the top lip and onto the bottom of the box. Bam — Just like that! (I actually spend a whole day upholstering 3 benches.) 6. Attach bumpers on the bottom of your benches. Especially if you have stapled fabric onto the bottom of the boxes, you"ll need bumpers to protect your floors!
I purchased the fabric for my upholstered storage benches at Hobby Lobby. Measure twice and cut once. ALWAYS use safety gear to protect your eyes, ears, lungs. As always, look over your plans and make sure everything make sense to you before you start building.

Flying Dolphin
Aegina Travel Blog› entry 7 of 18 › view all entries
December 29th, 2009 – by: jegs76
Flying Dolphin is the high speed boat company that took us from Pireus to Aegina. But first we had to wake up. Lili, who had early flight left first the hotel, and flew to middle east, Lebanon. We stayed a bit longer, had breakfast at the Niks Corner again and left Athens as well. We took the metro line 1 (green) to Pireus, close to the station there is the harbour with many ferries going to different greek islands.
We decided to buy high speed boat tickets and got even some discount coz we chose two ways tickets (around 20%).
After some 40minutes we landed in Aegina town, took the bus to Aghia Marina (if u want to go there by bus, be carefully, coz the last bus in winter leaves around 14.20 from Aegina, which is pretty early). We arrived in the small touristy village, totally empty in winter. It seemed like a ghost town. We had the impression,that we were the only ones in town, no other tourists, just we and very few locals.
We asked for our hotel, wich had view over the sea, in the middle of small village.
Fortunatelly there was one restaurant open, so that we had chance to eat! Thanks for that to guys who is running this place, the food there was very tasty.
Since we had plenty of time, we decided to go to see the only Temple of Aphaia, the godess known only in this island some 2km from our village.
After nice sunset (Lili, your camera would be great to take some good pics there!) we went back to the restaurant and had pizza, coz we wanted try something different from souflaki, kebab or mousaka. The pizza was a little different but it was good.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Brendan M.
Review for Gorilla Repertory Theater Company Inc, New York, NY, USA
I can still recall seeing Gorilla Rep´s "A Midsummer Night´s Dream" one summer in New York in 1993. The actors´ physicality coupled with the words of Shakespeare were not the only reasons why this (free) show in Washington Square Park was so enjoyable. It also was the sense from the actors and the director, Chris Sanderson, that this company were engaged with something primal, magical, mysterious. What a delight, experiencing theater practiced by men and women who hold this to be a key principle! And they are still going strong, nearly 20 years later, providing free Shakespeare (and new works) to audiences throughout the 5 boroughs of New York.
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
The bulk of my experience of Gorilla Rep has been as an audience member, enjoying the work that they produce. I have only helped actively with producing their work since 2010.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
If there was a way that the company could work year-round (despite the challenges of climate on the East Coast), that would be wonderful. Also, it would be great to have the roles within the artistic staff expand--again, so that more of this style of theater could be produced for the public. Mr. Sanderson´s commitment and investment in Gorilla Rep is extraordinary, but I´d love to see how the company could expand if there were 2 or 3 others sharing the responsibilities of directing, producing, managing.
How does this organization compare with others in the same sector?
Quite well
How much of an impact do you think this organization has?
A lot
Will you recommend this organization to others?
What is unique about this organization?
They provide high-quality productions of Shakespeare in public spaces in New York on an ongoing basis, for free. This alone is noteworthy. They also tend to have an aesthetic that is "poor" in the sense that production values (set, lighting, costumes) are minimalized, and the emphasis is placed on the actor, their bodies & voices, and the words & story of the playwright.
When was your last experience with this nonprofit?

Syrian Kurdish forces fighting a bid by Islamic State insurgents to capture a key Syrian border city said Monday they had stopped one column of advancing rebels but were still besieged by the extremist group on three other fronts.
Kurdish militia commanders said heavy fighting was raging around Ayn al-Arab, where jihadists of Islamic State, backed by tanks and other heavy armor, have seized scores of villages and forced the evacuation of dozens more.
Authorities in the city, known in Kurdish as Kobani, were "very worried" it could still fall to Islamic State, said an official in the nearby Turkish town of Suruc.

Replacing just the balance knife lock shoes
A quick learner from Minnesota says:
September 3, 2016
I have several windows with broken knife lock shoes that I'm pretty sure match the 15-026. Is it necessary to replace the entire balance assembly to fix this problem? If not, how can I replace just the shoe? Is there a video that would help? The tension on the string seems like it would make it very difficult to do. Any help would be appreciated.
Tom from SWISCO responded:
September 7, 2016
Hello! If the shoe is the only thing that's broken, then you can replace it by itself. It does require some handy work, though. What we like to do is draw the cord out and lock it in place with a vise. This will relieve the tension on as you untie the old shoe and retie the new one. Then, firmly hold the cord as you release the vise, and carefully retract the cord back into place. It's very important that you firmly hold the cord when you release the vise, otherwise the tension will cause the shoe to snap back into place, which could damage the balance or even hurt you, if your hand is nearby. We recommend wearing safety gloves and glasses, just in case!

Missing boater's body found at Lake Okoboji
SPIRIT LAKE, Iowa -- The body of a man who jumped into West Lake Okoboji was recovered Monday afternoon approximately 24 hours after he went missing, according to the Dickinson County Sheriff's Officer.
Chad Lenz, 30, of Carroll, Iowa, jumped into the water from a boat to retrieve a hat, it was reported, while his wife and two children remained in the boat. He was not wearing a life jacket at the time.
The search for his body began shortly after the incident was reported Sunday at 1:36 p.m., and continued until dark, then resumed Monday morning. Lenz's body was recovered shortly after 1 p.m. Monday.

Hi Guys,
After a bit of research through the forums, I thought I had found a solution to this. However, after following a couple of different instructions I still had no luck removing the animation that occurs when you hover over an image or gallery. It's the lightbox animation I'm assuming, the circle and the arrows. I've attached a screen to help explain. I'm looking to stop this from happening as for some reason it's applying to a third-party gallery plugin.
Any help is appreciated.
Hi Brickso!
Please add this on Quick CSS or custom.css:
.image-overlay {
display: none !important;
opacity: 0 !important;
Best regards,
Hi Ismael,
That worked perfectly! Thanks very much.

Paris Hilton, Kim Kardashian to patch up?

People who were hoping for a reality-TV-style catfight said the two instead "hugged, smiled and chatted for a while". They parted ways due to clash of egos a few years back.

Corbels are a functional, interesting, and versatile architectural design element. So what exactly is a corbel? "A corbel is an architectural bracket or block projecting from the wall and supporting (or appearing to support) a ceiling, beam, or shelf. A corbel can be made of wood, plaster, marble, or other materials" as defined by Jackie Craven who writes about architecture on About.com.
A little history lesson from Shoshana Gosselin on Houzz "The earliest use of corbels was to support structures. They were simple, unadorned and made of stone or concrete. Over the years, they began to get fancy, full of intricate carvings and meant to add beauty. Today, many corbels are made from wood or resin and are decorative rather than load-bearing. They come in a variety of sizes and types and can be added to cabinets, furniture, and walls in any style of room."
Check out these masterfully crafted corbels that South Shore Millwork created (pictured lower left.) Made from stain grade mahogany, they dress up this fireplace mantel beautifully. The picture in the lower middle shows the amount of detail we provided in the shop drawings in order to fabricate them to exact specifications. The lower right photo shows how the corbel was also cleverly used as space divider.
In another application, corbels were used as countertops supports for the kitchen we custom fabricated. Gosselin advises "If you do use them for physical support, make sure your corbel depth is three-quarters of your countertop overhang."
If you'd like assistance incorporating corbels in your next remodeling project or new home, South Shore Millwork can help. Our Boston, Massachusetts area based luxury millwork company can create corbels and other custom woodwork elements to fit any design style. Services include design, engineering, project management, fabrication, finish, delivery, and installation in the Boston area, throughout New England and beyond.


text: Another video. I'm going to be posting these ones for a while because they're awesome. They're not only funny, they're surprisingly polished, and often better than the actual songs they're based on. I can't get "Beard With Glue" out of my head. And if you haven't seen them yet, check out Bad Lip Reading's videos of the Republican candidates. I'm not sure whether they make them look more stupid, or more smart because anything better than that is a step up.

If I select it, it just goes to a loading screen. I have tried different size cards with all the versions of the latest firmware and nothing changes. I was hoping there was some way to fix this. I have found other post where people have had this problem, but none where the problem was resolved. PLEASE HELP, I have spent hours on this and have made no progress at all. Thanks

LOS ANGELES -- They've spent their whole careers hearing about the Phillies of Carlton and Schmidt, the Phillies of Kruk and Dykstra, even the Phillies of Ashburn and Roberts.
But now it's their turn.
Now it's Jimmy Rollins' Phillies. And Chase Utley's Phillies. And Cole Hamels' Phillies.
Now it's Ryan Howard's Phillies. And Shane Victorino's Phillies. And even Matt Stairs' Phillies.
They play for a franchise that has witnessed more heartbreak than glory years. But now they've written their own story -- a story they were determined to write, a story that is leading them to a World Series all their own.
"Now," said Rollins, on one of the most fulfilling nights of his baseball life, "we've finally got a chance to make our own mark."
They sent Manny Ramirez and that team from L.A. home Wednesday night, finishing off a five-game NLCS blitzkrieg with a 5-1 win, a Game 5 victory they led for all but seven pitches.
Fittingly, it was Rollins who started it, waving that magic, start-me-up wand of his with a stunning leadoff homer -- the second time he's kicked off a series-clinching win with a home-run trot in this postseason alone.
And fittingly, it was the Phillies' impeccable closer, Brad Lidge, who finished it, snapping off one last bat-chomping slider that Nomar Garciaparra lofted into the California night.
And as that baseball floated through the sky, a soft-spoken catcher from Panama settled under it, asking himself for what seemed like an hour: Is this thing EVER going to come down?
"I know that ball was not a tough play, but it took a long time," Carlos Ruiz said after history had finally settled in his glove. "I was saying, 'Come on, baby. Let's go. Come down already.' "
But fortunately for him and that team he plays for, gravity was on their side. Eventually, that baseball returned to Earth. And the Phillies are now headed for a place they've spent most of their lives watching everybody else go but them.
"I don't know if I understand what's really taken place here," said Jamie Moyer, the only member of this team who actually attended the parade of the one World Series championship in Phillies history. "I don't know if it's really sunk in. I know we're going to the World Series, but it hasn't sunk in."
With eyes watering, Moyer began to tell the story of what it was like to be a kid in high school in October 1980, skipping school to watch the champs parade down Broad Street.
"I remember people hanging from the street lights and the trees, and toilet paper all over," Moyer said. "And everybody was your friend. A half a million people were all friends."
And then somehow, in 2006, the world spun and brought him back to his hometown, to a team that was still trying to figure out how to win these kinds of games. And a couple of weeks later, he found himself in the middle of a team meeting, telling his new friends about that parade -- and laying out a dream for all of them, to reach a parade of their own someday.
"And now we're one series away from being on the floats in that parade," Moyer said. "It's amazing."
But for most of these men, nights like this have always been for all those other teams. For most of their careers, all they heard about themselves was that they couldn't win, wouldn't win, didn't know how to win.
They were the team that always chased somebody -- the Braves, the Astros, the Mets, the Marlins -- to the finish line but never broke that tape. Somebody else always did the celebrating. They were the ones trying to explain what happened.
"We always had good players, but we just couldn't seem to put it together," said Rollins. "There was always a piece missing."
But as the pieces began to fit together, in the winter of 2006-07, it was Jimmy Rollins who stepped forward to change everything. He did it with one little quotation:
"We ARE the team to beat."
The reverberations that erupted that day are still rumbling all these months later. And as the Moet & Chandon dripped down his face Wednesday night, Jimmy Rollins thought back to the moment those prophetic words flowed from his vocal cords. If he hadn't said them, he honestly believes this World Series journey might never have arrived.
"People thought I was crazy. Put it that way," Rollins said. "Even some of my teammates. That's the way it always is. People believe, but no one ever wants to say it. No one ever wants to make a statement and put himself out there. So I knew, when I answered the question, it was going to resonate in this clubhouse. And that's what I wanted. I really wanted to catch these guys' attention.
"This was an organization that wasn't used to winning. So saying things like that was definitely out of the ordinary. But no one ever really said anything to catch guys' attention. And I thought maybe we need to change that a little bit."
People thought at the time he uttered those words to throw a lightning bolt at the Mets. But what he really intended was to throw a jolt into another clubhouse -- his own. To raise the bar. To change the mindset. To transform the brain waves when it came time to play The Big Games.
"That's what we had to do -- change the way we approached the game, changed the way we thought about it," Rollins said. "We were always a team with talent. We were always a team of underdogs. We were always a team that ran the bases well. But I wanted to be known as a team that WINS well."
We know now how last year turned out for The Team To Beat. We know about the miracle finish to catch the Mets. We know about the painful first-round sweep by the Rockies. But what we couldn't know until now was how that sweep led them to this place. How it gave them a different sense of purpose than any Phillies team in many, many years.
It's a sense of purpose that reminds reliever Chad Durbin of the 2006 Tigers World Series team he played for -- except here, he said, "there's even more purpose. In Detroit, those guys were only together a little while. Here, the core of this team has been together for a lot of years."
Rollins and Pat Burrell arrived in 2000. Brett Myers checked in in 2002. Utley showed up in 2003. Howard and Victorino joined the mix in 2005, followed by ace of the future Cole Hamels in 2006.
Every year, they seemed to add another piece, move just a little closer. And that brought them to this year. To a year in which they roared out of the gates, took a 7½-game lead over the Mets in mid-June, kicked away all 7½ games of that lead in not much more than a month, and then, just when everyone else had kissed their chances goodbye, fired up their September magic carpet for the second straight year.
They went 13-3 down the stretch, blew by the Mets, wiped out the Brewers in the NLDS and kept on charging -- until they were one win from the World Series on a gorgeous October evening in Chavez Ravine.
And that was when the shortstop stalked up to home plate in the first inning and did exactly what he'd done a week-and-a-half earlier in Milwaukee. He'd been thinking about this at-bat since Tuesday night, he said, thinking about how he could get this party started.
"I always do," Rollins said. "The night before, I always sit in bed and think. I stand in front of the mirror and practice my swing. A lot of things go through your mind. You know what people are going to throw. You know the way they pitch you. And you try to figure out a way to get it started."
As he worked the count to 2-2 off Dodgers starter Chad Billingsley, Rollins stepped out of the box and let his mind race some more. If he could just get that count to 3-2, he thought, "I know he'll have to throw me a fastball."
He "thought about what happened in Milwaukee" and backed off the plate an inch or two. Sure enough, Billingsley launched that full-count fastball. As it began to tail over the middle of the plate, Rollins' eyes popped, his bat flashed and the baseball disappeared over the right-field fence. It was 1-0, eight pitches into the game. And the World Series Express was rolling.
Soon that lead grew to 2-0. And 3-0. And then there was Dodgers shortstop Rafael Furcal conjuring up his inner Enzo Hernandez, becoming only the second player in postseason history to commit three errors in one inning. (Another Dodger, Willie Davis, was the other, back in 1966.)
Suddenly, it was Phillies 5, Dodgers 0, in the fifth. And with Hamels on the mound, spinning off zeroes, these men knew what that meant. They were about to win the biggest baseball game of their lives.
Ryan Madson -- the set-up man who has given up exactly two earned runs over his past 21 trips to the mound -- arrived to pitch the eighth. And the men in the dugout began counting down the outs.
"We had six outs to go, and I had the utmost confidence in our bullpen," Moyer said. "But those were six big outs, the six biggest outs of our season."
Turned out, however, that they were no problem. Madson blitzed through the eighth. Then Lidge burst through the bullpen gates in the bottom of the ninth.
James Loney blooped a leadoff single. But down went Casey Blake for one out. Down went Matt Kemp for two outs. And then there was Garciaparra, flailing at one last slider. And there was that final pop-up hanging in the ozone, as one very nervous catcher waited for it to return to planet earth.
As a boy in Panama, Ruiz once watched these scenes on his television. Watched other catchers gather up these final outs in the defining games of their lives. Watched those other catchers land in frozen October moments, preserved through the magic of digital photography.
And then, he said Wednesday night, finding this hard to believe, "it happened to me."
He stuffed that baseball into his back pocket, ran right at Lidge and leaped into his arms. Then he dissolved into a sea of grown men hugging each other for what seemed like a week.
These men play baseball in a town where, for 25 excruciating years, the only excuse to hold a parade has involved a bunch of banjo-strumming folks in feathers celebrating the new year (possibly because it had to beat the heck out of the old year where, once again, not one stinking team had won anything).
And so, as the drought dragged ever onward, the images of the Phillies teams that HAD won something, or at least came close, grew bigger and brighter than they'd even seemed at the time when they won.
"We've been hearing about that 1993 team and that 1980 team over and over again," said Rollins.
"Every time we get in a rain delay," Durbin laughed, "it's on six channels."
But now, everything's different. Now THEY'RE one of those teams. Now they're the team bound for a Rain Delay Theater highlight-film presentation on some rainy Thursday evening in 2016. And as the champagne flowed and the smiles glittered in the L.A. night, there was nothing harder for these men to comprehend than that.
"You know what? It hasn't hit me yet," Rollins said. "We still have a lot of work to do. We've got to find a way to win four more games. That's our goal. Our goal is to win the World Series. The goal was not just to win the National League. The goal was not just to get to the World Series. We qualified. That's all we did. So we've still got work to do.
"But when it's all said and done, and my career's over, and hopefully we win the World Series, then that legend of the Phillies in 2008 will be a great story. But until then, we've still got four games to win."
They might be the hardest four games they've ever tried to win. But even as they celebrated in the middle of a ball field 3,000 miles from home, the 2008 Phillies were still clinging as hard as ever to the sense of purpose that has made them what they are.
"We've gone this far," Moyer said. "So why stop here?"

NLRB ruling may change athlete speech rights
PROVO, Utah – For years Brigham Young University has regulated what athletes can say to the media, but a recent memo from the National Labor Relations Board could make it illegal to restrict athletes from speaking to the media.
The NLRB's ruling says that athletes at several private universities may be considered employees with legally protected rights, including the first amendment right to speak freely on social media and give interviews without the institution's permission.
The BYU Athletic department declined to comment on the ruling because they said it is a non-issue for BYU. But according to the memo, 17 private universities may have to allow athletes to say, tweet or text whatever they want.
"They are not really going to watch or censor what they say and it could definitely get them into some big trouble, so I think it's just good to be on the safe side and have those regulations," said BYU sports fan Kai Garner.
According to ESPN, Northwestern University recently changed multiple handbook rules because the NLRB found that they were unfair labor practices and "unlawfully overboard."
Northwestern has now said their athletes may "directly speak with members of the media if they choose to do so."

Public rally - hear eyewitness accounts from the Mavi Marmara
Hear eyewitness accounts from the Mavi Marmara
Released hostages have returned home to give accounts of Monday's attack that differ greatly from that pushed by Israel in the immediate aftermath of the incident. Contrary to Israel's claim that its soldiers acted in self-defence, witnesses have described how the Israelis shot to kill, with at least four activists being intentionally shot in the head. It has emerged that the truth behind Israel's claim that activists on the boat were armed is that some passengers desperately tried to defend themselves with whatever was to hand after the Israelis began firing live rounds. Witnesses also described how the injured were denied medical treatment for several hours, as Israeli soldiers ignored pleas for help.
Come to a public rally to hear first-hand what actually happened aboard the Mavi Marmara and beyond. The meeting will feature several activists from the flotilla along with other speakers.
Called by PSC and Viva Palestina with Trade Union and other support.

"The Imperial March" musical score and a group of dogs that resemble Star Wars' characters are at the center of Volkswagen's ad spot for the Super Bowl. A 60-second Super Bowl teaser was seen on YouTube and during an episode of "The Middle" on ABC. The dogs perform their rendition of "The Imperial March," which is more popularly known as the "Darth Vader's Theme," the track that was famously used in last year's VW Super Bowl ad dubbed "The Force."
Tim Mahoney, chief product and marketing officer for Volkswagen of America, said that the dozen dogs that participated in the ad were chosen from among 40 dogs that auditioned. Mahoney explained that what the concept behind "The Bark Side" was to "create an ad to promote an ad."
Mark Hunter, chief creative officer for Deutsch, said that last year, it was one of the few brands that pre-released their Super Bowl ad. Hunter believes that they will continue to set media trends this year. He said that "The Bark Side" teaser will show just enough to whet everyone's appetite.
Keith Schofield of Caviar Content directed the ad. He recorded the dogs while they were both together and then separately. They barked to a temporary track made by Endless Noise's Jeff Elmassian, who was responsible for the arrangement of the score for "The Force."

Palestinians shut down shops in support of hunger strikers in Israeli jails
Palestinians have staged a general strike across Israeli-occupied territories in solidarity with Palestinian leader Marwan Barghouti and hundreds of other prisoners in Israeli jails on hunger strike for several days.
On Thursday, almost all businesses and schools remained closed, and public transport stayed off the streets in all cities across the occupied West Bank.
Palestinian bus services were also on strike in east Jerusalem al-Quds. Only doctors and students nearing graduation were excluded.
Khalil Rizeq of the Union of Palestinian Chambers of Commerce described the strike as the largest in years.
"This general strike is unprecedented in years," Rizeq said, adding, "All Palestinian industries, such as transport, bakeries, stores, all of the private sector and commercial institutions are participating."
In the city of Ramallah, a large number of protesters gathered at a tent set up at the Yasser Arafat Square to march through the streets of the West Bank city to express their solidarity with the inmates and praise their strike.
Oday Homaid, a 27-year-old engineer, who attended the protest march with other workers from his lift maintenance company, said that it was the "minimum that we can do for our prisoners."
Munther Karaja, a 42-year-old who had closed his pastry shop, said: "We can sacrifice one day for prisoners who have given years of their lives."
Latest reports indicate a series of violent have erupted between Israeli forces and Palestinian protesters supporting hunger strikers in different cities across the West Bank.
The Israeli forces fired teargas at protesters in the city of al-Khalil as well as in the town of al-Eizariya in occupied Jerusalem al-Quds.
At least two people suffered from suffocation while one was also injured by rubber bullets.
Since April 17, over 1,500 Palestinian prisoners have gone on a mass hunger strike, initially called for by Barghouti, in protest at the conditions of Israeli prisons.
The head of the Palestinian Committee of Prisoners' Affairs, Issa Qaraqe, announced on Monday that Barghouti's health conditions had been critically deteriorating during the past week.
Read more:
Israeli prisons hold some 7,000 Palestinians, including 300 minors. Some of the inmates are held under Tel Aviv's policy of administrative detention, which enables confinement without charge.
Palestinian inmates regularly stage hunger strikes in protest at the administrative detention policy and their harsh prison conditions.
Palestinian leaders have strongly censured Israel's refusal to negotiate with the hunger strikers, warning of a "new intifada" if any of them dies.
