barbecue and gas ring for all your outdoor cooking. the pictures tell the whole story.
There is a STUNNING LOCAL BEACH (4 minutes away) which is safe, wide and 18 KM long and never crowded. It is a children's paradise, indeed it is paradise and has always maintained its BLUE FLAG status. There is a multitude of beach sports and activities, and the facilities are excellent. The Red Cross Life Guards, are on duty most of the year most of the time. Every water activity you can think of from para-gliding to scuba diving to surfing is located locally, and all takes place is a deep blue sea with a salty taste of vitality. I challenge anyone to find better beaches than those located within a few minutes of Casa Dulce Suenos. Indeed to be fair the entire coast has excellent beach facilities, including a few naturist beaches. The nearest being 15 minutes away.
The villa is located amongst privately owned villas many occupied all year.

Took the family for a quick break before the Easter rush and before the flights went up in price. Arrived at the villa to be met by Stephen & Ashley. They couldnt have been more helpful, giving us tips and hints on the best bars, restaurants and how to get to the nearest beach that is only minutes away in the car. There is a good restaurant 5 minutes walk away which we used on 2 occasions. The villa is great, it is large and spacious with all the comforts of home. As someone said in another review, the beds are so comfortable all with good quality bedding. I have never rented a villa that is clearly loved and looked after so much. We will be going again only for much longer next time. Thanks Stephen & Ashley for everything you did for us. Jane and family
We have just got back from staying in this villa. We made a last minute booking.. We were really impressed with the quick and efficient way our booking was dealt with by the villa managers Stephen & Ashley. They also met us on arrival and ensured we were happily settled in. Monte Pego is a lovely area surrounded by orange groves and within easy reach of the beach, restaurants, and bars. Also lots to do for the children. The villa is simply home from home. It has everything you would expect plus lots more. It was good to have a selec tion of books, DVDs and CDs to use. We normally rent a villa 3 times a year and this is the first time I have written a review on any of them but felt that this villa is so good it deserved to be given this top review. Carol
we stayed at Casa Suenos last October for our annual holiday on Monte Pego. this year we found this one which was way and above better than any others we had stayed in.
beautifully furnished and with magnificent views towards Pego and beyond.
we were also lucky that the waeather was terrific and much use was made of the magnificent pool and when too hot went into the covered terrace to eat and drink.
for us with two children this was heaven and we were fully relaxed at the end.
we will be back in 2012.

Spent 2 weeks at this villa last year and will be booking again this year. Staying in this villa is a treat, it is so clean tidy and well furnished. It really does have everything inside and out. The Pego area makes a great holiday with both quiet and busy beaches close. A great place to holiday with the family
Spent Christmas and New Year at this fantastic villa. It has all the home comforts and the best beds I have found in a holiday home.
The area is lovely and picturesque. Not far to the beach and a short ride into Denia & Javea for all the bars and restaurants you need. Or go into the local small Spanish villages for something different. A great familly holiday home and area.

We had a brilliant week away at this gorgeous villa. It was spacious and fully equipped. The views from the pool are amazing, one week wasn't enough. The beaches are lovely, Denia is about 20mins away and is lively with plenty of things to do. Valencia is only an hour away which is a must and a nice water park about 40 mins. away. Great great holiday, the best villa we have ever stayed in. Thank you.
we were back at this fabulous villa for our Easter break. seemed better than ever with our local hosts Steve and Ashley everything was really easy and straight forward. thank you again for a fabulous break with beautiful weather and accommodation.
Fantastic week in a lovely villa. Weather perfect bar one day. Love all the home comforts and all the small details. Pool has been well used by all the kids and grownups and the vista is stunning. For me it was the first time driving abroad and was bit scary but all the places are relative easily accessible. So many places to see all very locally and we should have stayed longer. Recommended is the local Restaurant Café Residential. If you have children and fancy a day at the beach then the best safe place is Javea or if you can risk it Benidorm in high summer is good but can get crowded. Many thanks to Steve and Ashley, our hosts on site, for your invaluable advice and help, fantastic. And this from two of the children: Had a really good week here and enjoyed every moment of it. So enjoy yours too. And Very nice here, lovely views and a very enjoyable week.
Review #9136100 "Lovely spacious villa with fantastic views" This villa has got everything you would need and more great pool, lovely terrace, bbq, lots of storage, toys for the little ones, plastic crockery if needed, cool box for the beach trips and even a selec tion of games and books. Its close to Pego for supermarkets and close to plenty of beaches. Denia is only 15 mins away and Xavia not much further. Excellent walking in the surrounding hills and you can join a cycle track right from Monte Pegos entrance. We loved it and will definitely be back soon. Angela Brady 16-26th August 2014
"Beautiful villa indeed" Reviewed October 5, 2013 NEW It's fabulous. We had a lovely holiday at the villa- its perfectly located for this part of Spain with towns and villages just a short car ride away and the beach within easy distance. When we arrived we were welcomed by Steve and Ashley who ensured that we had everything we needed. The villa itself is exactly as pictured and described and is delightful. We stayed there in September, a family of five including two daughters and grand mum, and we found the villa to be really comfortable in all aspects, particularly the beds which provide for a great night's sleep. It's in a residential location, and is quiet and peaceful and we were all able to relax. It's a very spacious villa, well cared for, clean and beautifully decorated and well furnished with 3 en-suites. It's very well equipped including internet access, satellite tv and barbecue . The pool is a good size and private with the most fantastic views from the terrace. There's an excellent restaurant within a reasonably short walking distance. We would definitely come here again
I stayed at this beautiful villa with my daughter and grandchildren. It turned out to be the best holiday ever. The weather was just great and we found many beaches that were perfect for the family to play on. We spent a day at the water park behind Benidorm, only a short drive away and would recommend it.. The real iceing on the cake was the villa. It was clean, well looked after, beautifully furnished and well positioned . The children loved the pool and of course I enjoyed many glasses of wine on the sun balcony. I plan to return to this villa again only for longer next time.

In the 1400's Ryce Leon moves to Scotland to escape the horrors of his past. The lusty Englishman is content to wear kilts and share his unique talents with the satisfied lasses of Rannoch. However, fate brings a forsaken young waif into his life, Chrisselle Buchanan. What begins as a simple pairing of Master and pet evolves into something powerful, with the potential to free Ryce from his unbearable curse.
Ryce Leon is a Master of exceptional experience, introducing the women of Rannoch to his rare skills. Unbeknownst to them, he hides a tragic secret - one that forces him to move from place to place, never putting down roots for fear of discovery. He has learned the terrible price of love and will not suffer such loss again. When the dying Chrisselle is thrust upon him, he is determined to rid himself of her as soon as she recovers. However, the Scottish waif's brave spirit and curious nature eventually break down his defenses. It is clear that fate has brought them together, but Ryce knows from experience that fate can be a cruel mistress.

SYDNEY (Reuters) - A tropical low in the Indian Ocean has intensified into Australia's first cyclone of the 2016-2017 summer season and could make landfall over the weekend, weather forecasters said on Wednesday.
Tropical Cyclone Yvette will be slow moving before tracking south-eastward toward the sparsely populated coastal Pilbara iron ore belt in Western Australia state over the Christmas weekend, according to the Australian Bureau of Meteorology.
At 0700 GMT the storm was 810 km (500 miles) northwest of Port Hedland, home to the world's biggest iron ore export terminal, on Australia's northwest coast.
A spokesman for Pilbara Ports Authority said the Port Hedland terminal was so far unaffected and remained open.
The low was upgraded to a category 1 cyclone after sustained winds were recorded near the center of 75 kmh (45 mph), with wind gusts to 100 kmh (62 mph), the bureau said, adding by Friday the cyclone was forecast to become category 2.
While category 1 or category 2 cyclones are at the lower end of the 1-5 intensity scale, they still pack enough punch to cause damage and delay port and mining operations.
Cyclone Stan was a category 2 when it slammed the west Australian coast on January 16, 2016, and was later blamed by BHP for lower-than-expected iron ore production.
BHP Billiton is the largest user of the Port Hedland's port, followed by Fortescue Metals Group and Atlas Iron. The four companies shipped a combined 41.2 million tonnes of iron ore through the port in November.

Just what is Europe?
Two recent events, juxtaposed, would give roughly the same sense of a simple answer as, say, Jekyll and Hyde or any other combination of opposites on a scale from revulsion to farce.
The first event was an election this month for the European Parliament in which Europeans registered their lowest turnout -- as low as 26 percent in some places -- just weeks after their overall ranks expanded to 450 million, the largest ever, with the addition of 10 new states to the European Union.
That mass display of indifference seemed, if nothing else, to illuminate the central paradox of the broad dysfunction between European citizens and the European political institutions from which they feel generally estranged: only by making the politics irrelevant do Europeans protest irrelevance itself.
Or, as a columnist named Ida Magli wrote in Il Giornale, ''to show their dissent in dealings with the European Union, the only possible maneuver is to not vote, in other words to not legitimize a power structure that has been built by politicians without the participation and consent of the citizens.''
So much for that Europe; big Europe, grown-up Europe.
Now consider Europe as a joust, a tournament of champions, a medieval war of nation-states sublimated in soccer, celebrated in headlines and banners and roaring crowds, punctuated by such eminently real and tangible events as the failure of David Beckham, the English captain, to score a penalty goal against France, or, more recently -- and more passionately followed in this city -- the three-match suspension of an Italian superstar, Francesco Totti, for spitting in the face of Denmark's Christian Poulsen.Continue reading the main story
That, too, is Europe, one written in the genes of a Continent that shies from its centuries of war but has not forgotten them either.
''This is Europe, not the European elections,'' said Beppe Severgnini, an Italian author speaking by telephone from the Euro 2004 European soccer championships currently under way in Portugal.
''People need to be involved emotionally,'' he said. ''Things that work in Europe belong in this category. When I say emotional, I mean simple, accessible. The European Parliament is not simple or accessible.''
Thus, soccer works, and so do roaming cellphones, the euro single currency, reduced border controls -- anything, in fact, that allows a new, younger generation of Europeans to crisscross a playground from the Baltic to the Mediterranean.
And, as the generations have changed, so too has the sense of nation that once took Europeans to war. The soccer tournament, Mr. Severgnini said, has become ''a most beautiful, peaceful allegory for the wars that, thanks be to God, no longer exist in Europe.''
But, if the swords are sheathed, the pennants still flutter and the passions still flow.
In London, for instance, cabs and private cars fly the red-on-white flag depicting the cross of St. George, the English emblem. Swedish fans paint their Viking faces blue and yellow in the nation's colors. Across the Continent, newspapers and television stations bear eagerly awaited news from the front lines of Portuguese soccer stadiums.
Indeed, on June 17, British offices emptied early as thousands hurried home to watch England play Switzerland and win by 3-0. The story was the same for the England-Croatia (4-2 for England). Evidently, it is much easier for soccer teams to re-enact Europe's divisions than for politicians to pretend they no longer exist.
History, it seems, has not quite released this Continent from its bellicose past. Indeed, by competing with one another for the European trophy, national soccer teams seem to generate some of the hostilities that politicians in Brussels, the European Union headquarters, seek to subsume in a newly minted and far from accepted European identity.
''Jacques Chirac can you hear us Jacques Chirac? Our boys are gonna give you one hell of a beating,'' The Sun said in Britain on June 8, five days before France, in fact, gave England a 2-1 beating -- and several hundred years after the English carried out the threat somewhat more bloodily at the Battle of Agincourt.
In a way, club soccer linked to local teams draws more passion than do national teams in lands, like Italy, where the nation-state is a relatively recent implantation. ''The nation is more in the national psyche of England, Denmark, Sweden, and in Italy not so much,'' Mr. Severgnini said.
Sometimes, too, it is hard to avoid the feeling that the big-name heroes are champions in the medieval sense of fighting for a patron's cause, particularly at clubs owned by Europe's wealthiest tycoons. Silvio Berlusconi, the Italian prime minister, for instance, owns A.C. Milan and the Agnelli auto-making dynasty owns Turin's Juventus. In Britain, the Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich has bought the Chelsea club.
And, of course, as medieval jousters often discovered, they were only as good as their last tussle: after England's humiliating defeat by France, British sportswriters perked up considerably when the new star in the team, Wayne Rooney, 18, nicknamed ''Man Child,'' scored two goals against Switzerland then two more against Croatia to become a national idol. That, said The Daily Telegraph, ''put the smile back on the face of English football.''
At roughly the same time that all this was unfolding, European political leaders pondering electoral setbacks from apathetic voters, and locked in their own contests over the future shape of a European constitution and leadership, seemed to have far less to smile about.
''It would be a sad paradox,'' mused the left-wing French newspaper Libération, ''that at the moment when Europe of soccer is witnessing its maximum mobilization, Europe of politics is distinguished by minimum participation.''
That argument may not endure far beyond the Euro 2004 tournament. The next major item on the Continental agenda is a decision on whether the European Union should adopt a new constitution. Already, arguments over the treaty have revived old divisions between the French-German axis that has traditionally powered European integration and others like Britain that shy from close unity. In Britain itself the debate threatens to overwhelm political discussion in advance of elections expected next year. So as the crowds file out of the soccer stadiums, other swords are already being sharpened for a more serious battle to determine the destiny of Europe and its nationalism.Continue reading the main story

Oh, I just love this! Why aren't there any reviews? :( Everything flowed exceptionally well, and you managed to create a believable relationship between Beatriz and Andy. If I can only make ONE suggestion, it would to be to expand on the ending a bit more. I really like where you were going with it. But, I understand that you're swamped? aren't we all?
Anyway, I really adore this. It's so in-character and a generally wonderful story.

My female friends/supporters,
Recently it was brought to my attention that a piece from my journal over 2009 might have been offensive to some females or to that individual female I was speaking about. I elaborated in my journal on a subject some guys in this environment were kicking about: the female c/o who is called 'lil butty' behind her back.
To this particular female and to others who might have found it offensive I humbly apologize. My mom didn't raise me in that manner, and although I am a grown man her teachings still persist to this day.
I feel that women are the Creator greatest gifts to mankind - without women there wouldn't be men. All females are beatiful regardless of proportions.
To the woman,mother, sister, grandmother, aunt, friend, lover, without you we are nothing.
All my love, Zulu

EducationPublic Policy Major at Duke University
ExperienceI have tutored both middle school and high school students(2011-2013) in various subjects (primarily math and science). I love helping students master subjects that once gave me enormous amounts of anxiety and low self-esteem, because I understand what it's like! I make sure to review subjects slowly so that students can grasp all details. My scores from high school are as follows: AP U.S. History=5, AP European History=5, AP World History=5, AP English Lit. and Comp.=5, AP Environmental Science=4, SAT II Chemistry=710, SAT I MATH=720, SAT II U.S. History=720.
HobbiesI grew up a competitive swimmer, tennis player, and skier. I am now on Duke's Club Ski Team and I work for our student-run record label, Small Town Records, as the CMO. I volunteered for years with my church in Connecticut, and continued this trend in college. I also love to sing, play guitar, and write music! My friends and family call me "Nashville Nat" for kicks!
Preferred Subjects
Geometry, Algebra I, Algebra II, Precalculus, Trigonometry, Chemistry, English, History, Reading, Social Studies, Organization, Study Skills

Is there a pressure washer out there that dosent require a power outlet and runs on a charged battery i ask this because i have a council garage with no power source and its a bit of away from my house and i dont want to keep carrying buckets of water back and forth
Pressure Washer

Pressure Washer
There are devices sold by Caravan places which allow mains items to be run off a12v battery. IMHO you need a pressure washer of at least 120/130 bar to be effectve and I believe that the current draw would drain a 12v battery very quickly.
Get yourself a small generator & run it off that.
Take it you do have a water supply at the garages as you mention walking to & fro with buckets of water?
Failing that take the bike up outside the house & do it.
Pressure washer
There are lots of garage forecourts with washing facilities. I'm sure they'd not sniff at a bike being cleaned there.
Take it through
the drive-through and you'll get your helmet and leathers washed at the same time.

What We Do
Community Planning
Click here to access the 2017 Webinar Series.
Our approach to community planning
A community plan sets the goal of preventing, reducing and ending youth homelessness using the Collective Impact framework.
A Way Home helps local communities plan, implement and sustain effective, evidence-based and measurable strategies.
We support community plans in three ways:
1. Catalyst Events
Timing is everything. We respond to opportunities in communities, provinces and territories to bring A Way Home's knowledge base and resources to catalyze youth homelessness planning and the implementation process.
Catalyst events are designed to showcase the support A Way Home can provide.
2. Technical and Implementation Supports
A Way Home can provide support to communities in the following ways:
- Resources
- Toolkits
- Webinars
- Example plans and implementation strategies
3. Community of Practice
We are committed to providing all tools and resources free and open-source. We encourage consultants and other practitioners to contribute to this body of knowledge
To view examples of Community Plans, click here.

text: Tracy Morgan is out of his wheelchair It's good to see that Tracy Morgan is out shopping with his fiancee and their daughter. He's using a cane, which you can see in this photo, but at least he's out of his wheelchair. According to the People story, he's still struggling to recover and that he might never be the same funny Tracy Morgan that he once was. He suffered broken bones and facial fractures and cognitive impairment from the accident, when a Walmart truck driver drove his 18-wheeler into the limousine that was carrying Morgan and his friend the comedian James McNair, who died from the accident. It's a tragic story. And I hope that Morgan makes a complete recovery. But if he doesn't, then I hope that he can learn to cope with the loss and the impairments.

There are a number of limitations in this analysis. Inherent in all forecasts is the limitation of the uncertainty of future changes which cannot be predicted. Major shifts in medical care or technology, healthcare utilization, access to care, economic conditions, or demographic changes would impact the prevalence and costs of vision problems in ways that cannot be predicted. In addition to the uncertainty of the future, this analysis is limited by uncertainty in the data. The population projections, disease prevalence and costs are all measured with a degree of uncertainty, which we attempt to measure in the sensitivity analyses.
Other limitations include limited availability of data. Comparable nationally representative prevalence data is not available for persons aged younger than 40, and these age groups are therefore not included in the prevalence projections. All underlying data in this analysis groups results among ages 80 or 85 and older. The projections indicate that the growth of the population aged 90 and older is among the most important trends that will occur in the coming decades, yet almost no data is available for this age group. Our methodology of predicting single-age prevalence functions attempts to conservatively predict the high prevalence rates reported at these ages based on small or international samples.
Finally, our prevalence-based projection methodology may not fully account for the future impact of current or recent trends in visual health. For example, some of the underlying studies in the Vision Problems in the U.S. database were first reported more than 10 years ago. Since that time frame, emerging changes have occurred that may not be fully accounted for as their effects were not fully realized in the prevalence data. For example, in this time period AMD has seen many important changes such as possible decreases in incidence, vitamin formulations for early stage AMD, and anti-VEGF treatments for choroidal neovascularization. Whether and to what extent such recent and ongoing developments may impact future prevalence and costs remains subject to high uncertainty.

Schnepf: All at NDSU can learn from voter fraud scandal
It's rare when the president, athletic director and football coach from North Dakota State University appear together to make a major announcement.
The last time that happened was in 2007, when the trio of former President Joseph Chapman, athletic director Gene Taylor and football coach Craig Bohl announced their membership into the Gateway Football Conference.
On Tuesday night, President Dean Bresciani joined Taylor and Bohl to make this announcement: Starting running back Sam Ojuri, who along with nine teammates Tuesday pleaded guilty to violating North Dakota election law, will be suspended for Saturday's homecoming game. The other nine will play.
Perhaps this triangle of authority should have made their public appearance nearly one month ago - when the news broke that these players forged names on two petition drives that were once slated to be on this November's election ballot.
There are many who feel that they could have made the following announcement on Sept. 5: The players involved in this case will be suspended for the season-opening game against Robert Morris University for violating team rules.
That would have at least tempered the critics who think football stars get special treatment. But Bresciani, Taylor and Bohl made it clear that the way they handled this month-long incident was not going to be swayed by public opinion.
But as much as they said this was and will be a learning experience for the players involved, it was also a learning experience for them.
"Absolutely," said Taylor. "This has been such a unique situation that most people who I have talked to have never had to deal with this."
What they learned was looking at changing university protocol to allow Bresciani to comment on similar situations in the future. What they learned was not to boldly state that there will be no suspensions - which Taylor did after NDSU's game at Colorado State.
"I was really disappointed with myself," Taylor said during his apology Tuesday night.
You can say hindsight is 20/20, but these three leaders should have had the vision to nip this thing in the bud from the start - at least to some degree. That would have at least ended a month's worth of ambiguity.
Whether you think suspensions are in order or not, this could have been handled a lot better.
And it's suprising that it was not, considering Bohl's track record in dealing with off-the-field issues. Since 2003, there have been 23 reported incidents by The Forum in which Bohl quickly laid down the law - ranging from one-game suspensions to dismissal from the team.
Of course, this case is as strange as how it's been handled. Football players and petition fraud? Normally, Bohl and Taylor are dealing with infractions involving alcohol, drugs, violence or sex.
They reason this offense wasn't as serious as others - even though it did scratch two petitions from next month's ballot. Based on the 360 days of unsupervised probation and 50 hours of community service handed to the 10 players and the fact that their record could be cleared, Bohl and Taylor can arguably justify their stance.
As much as Bresciani, Taylor and Bohl want this to disappear, there will be those who will always wonder why all 10 players weren't suspended - questions that will no doubt surface if the Bison win another national championship.
Perhaps more importantly, there will be more who will wonder why Bresciani, Taylor and Bohl didn't publically join forces a lot earlier than Tuesday night.

Disclaimer: I own nothing of Xena: Warrior Princess.
"Well, then, like I said." And with that, Xena stood up and walked away to rejoin Gabrielle with Argo, and I was left to contemplate what she had said to me; about how the gods could not give us what isn't already in our hearts. Sadly, being a dashing swordsman loved by women and respected by my fellow man was not there.
Just thinking about it makes me recall the events and the past two days, at least what I can remember, and it's the part of not remembering all my heroic swordsman moves that made me realize that Joxer was not the real Joxer; it was just an illusion created by a spell.
That really depressed me before Xena came along, but now was a different story, especially when I pulled off my helmet and took a real good look at it, something that I had not done since trekking out on my own. Now I could see the ridiculousness of it, even if it was just something to wear until I could afford something better, just like my sword.
For the first time, I can finally admit that I hate this hat. I practically hold it in contempt, along with the rest of my armor that I began to shed and left on the ground. Let some other find it and make use of it as they see fit. I just didn't need it, not anymore.
The only thing I had reminiscent was my sword and the scabbard, which meant too much for me to ever get rid of, and the sword…well, a guy needs protection in these dangerous times, warrior or not.
Satisfied, I hurried off and caught up with Xena and Gabrielle.
"Joxer the Lion-hearted, is ready for action!" I heard Gabrielle groan and say, "or maybe not."
When both girls turned to me though, I couldn't help but smile at the surprised look on their faces. Gone was the armor, and I was now left with wearing the get-up I had on during the whole bell spell fiasco.
"Uh-oh." Gabrielle was the first to recover. "Don't tell me Aphrodite got to you-"
"No. No, she didn't. I just…decided to give up looking like a fool, you know?"
"Oh." Gabby looked surprised again, then nodded in what looked like a little recognition, and it was aimed right at me. "Well, that's good." She turned to Xena. "Right?"
"Indeed it is," the real warrior replied.
"There's something else," I admitted, and walked up in front of the two women I considered my friends. Time for the important part. "I know I haven't exactly been, uh, welcomed company, and there have been countless times you've wanted to just go away."
I could see it in their eyes that both girl were saying, "ya think?"
I continued. "For that, and, for acting like a jerk and everything, I'm sorry. And, I still wanna travel with you, but…well, it's all up to you."
Gabby's face broke out into a grin….a beautiful grin that made my heart skip a beat, just like how I first saw her yesterday when she was standing over me. How come I've never noticed before? "Okay, who are you and what have you done with Joxer?"
I laughed, though a bit nervously as I looked away. Then I got serious again.
Then Xena spoke up. "You know, you're really not that bad to be around with."
I smiled hopefully. "Really?"
She narrowed her steel blues at me. "No." Then walked on guiding Argo by her reigns, and Gabrielle followed after her.
Wonderful, I thought dreadfully, hanging my head. I guess I screwed up too much for them to ever consider-
"Joxer?" I turned after Xena called my name. "You coming or what?"
Wait a minute…what?
Gabrielle spoke up. "It took courage for you to do this, Joxer. Maybe that's proof enough that you do have the heart of a lion."
"He does," Xena grinned at her. "You should have been there when he was protecting Argo."
"I did write about it," Gabby replied defensively.
"But you weren't there."
With that, the girls walked on, and I hurried up after them with my spirit soaring so high that it could leave my body at any time. Would that even be possible though, to feel so high that your spirit-I shook my head, replacing such a stupid question with the fact that not only was a great heroine and her sidekick allowing me to join them on their adventures, but I was turning over a new leaf, starting a new chapter in my life.
Maybe I was not meant to be a great warrior; I accepted that now, but inside of me was the heart of a lion; of a man willing to put his life on the line when it came to the people he cared about and the greater good.
I was so ecstatic that I found myself breaking into a song. Halfway through the first lyric, I saw the end of Gabby's staff near my face when she said my name through her perfectly white teeth with a warning tone.
"Sorry. Old habit."

New PC ups and downs
The reason I've not reviewed my passport holder thoroughly is that I have just bought a new PC. It's not just a PC, it's a "Multimedia Internet Entertainment PC". Actually, its a Medion 8818, which is a E6300 (core duo) powered machine with 1 Gbyte of RAM, a Lightscribe DVD writer, a DVD reader, TV tuner, some 256 Mbyte video card with HDI, DVI and VGA out. I also bought a new 19" monitor. Yes, Aldi did well out of me on Sunday. (For those of you not in the know, Aldi is a low-end supermarket chain that sometimes does amazing offers on expensive goods).
Anyhow, I've been busy clearing of the viruses that came installed (e.g. MS Office 60-day trial) and installing the essentials of life (Google Earth, Google Pack, Firefox, ...). However, I have a problem; when I sync my Palm to my new PC I get the blue screen of death! I've now spent about three or four hours looking into this problem - which has pissed me off no end as part of the reason for buying a ready built PC is so I didn't have to debug something I'd built. Anyhow, Microsoft pointed the finger at an NVidia driver problem (there is an obscure problem with the interaction between power management software, threading in the NVidia driver and dual core processors). I tried NVidia's new drivers and their suggestions without luck. Then I looked on the Palm site. Palm doesn't support Windows Media Centre. I don't know why, I don't care, but problem over as far as I am concerned. I was thinking of returning the PC but I think I'll have to ask Santa for a new PDA instead.

Tips to save money on renting a roll-off container
An informed customer is one that can get the best deal. Here are some simple tips:
- Get quotes from multiple dumpster rental companies to make sure you're getting the best deal
- Be aware of the amount of weight included in the price and it's impact on cost if you exceed the weight limit. Learn more at our dumpster prices guide.
- If not sure between two dumpster sizes, the larger is probably the way to go. The difference in price is a lot less than renting another dumpster. See our ultimate guide to dumpster sizes for more info.
- Ask the rental company if they accept "clean loads" for recycling. If so, you may get a discount rate since recycling the debris typically costs them less compared to the tipping fees at local landfills.

Restriction landmark genomic scanning (RLGS) is a method for the high-speed survey of the presence or absence of restriction landmarks throughout a genome. RLGS also provides for the measurement of the copy number of restriction landmarks based on the concept that restriction enzyme sites can serve as landmarks. RLGS employs direct end-labeling of the genomic DNA digested with a restriction enzyme and high-resolution, two-dimensional electrophoresis. Compared with the conventional technologies for detecting the genes, such as Southern blot analysis and polymerase chain reaction (PCR), RLGS has the following advantages even though it needs specially designed instruments: (1) high-speed scanning ability – thousands of restriction landmarks can be scanned simultaneously; (2) applicability to any organism – RLGS employs direct labeling of restriction enzyme sites, not a hybridization procedure; (3) a spot intensity that reflects the copy number of the restriction landmarks; and (4) the ability, by using a methylation-sensitive enzyme, to screen the methylated state of genomic DNA.
RLGS is a very useful system not only for genome mapping, but also in a variety of biological and medical fields, such as cancer research and the growth and development of various organisms throughout all stages of the life cycle. RLGS can also be applied for the visualization of mRNAs [restriction landmark cDNA scanning (RLCS)]. In one procedure, RLCS can scan the expression of several hundred mRNAs.

- Vargo Ultralight Tent Stakes
We've all got that one friend who gets drunk, falls in the lake, and loses all his gear. Or maybe he just misplaces the occasional stake once in a while. Same thing more or less. The orange heads on these will be harder to lose track of. $3.75 ea. Made in USA.
- G-Works Gas Saver
Holy hell, this is so brilliant! A way to transfer fuel from those partially used/almost empty canisters that your loved has developed a weird hoarding thing over.

Be Naughty, But Be Nice Too
Last year's ideas are here, and remember, it's better to give than it is to receive. Seriously though, don't give in to the pressure to shop, do what makes you happy, and above all spend time with others, or just by yourself outdoors. That's one of the best gifts of all! Happy Holidays! Hike It. Like It.

|Book hunt at
National Bookstore,
SM Sta. Mesa
Reading. My love for reading has blossomed when I was still a kid and it never stopped. When I was in grade school, I used to keep P10.00 from my baon to be able to buy booklets with fables and myths, both in Filipino and English, and read them again and again at home. Until I have subconsciously collected a bunch of those booklets. (I still have some of those in my mini-library at home, by the way). Then, in high school I got addicted to Filipino pocketbooks, mostly horror stories. Also, dictionaries became my best friends. Reading and learning new words has become my pastime. Because of that, I was called by my classmates, the walking dictionary.
Well, reading books would never get out of my system. Now, I am enjoying fantasy and romance novels, both from Filipino and International authors. My favorite authors are Stephen King, Suzanne Collins, Nicholas Sparks, Tyra Banks, Roald Dahl, Mina V. Esguerra and Bob Ong to name a few. Next to my list, J.K Rowling's works and some classic novels. I enjoyed watching the Harry Potter installments but I haven't tried reading the book series, but I will, soon.
Writing. It has been my passion since I was a kid. When I was in grade school, I got a whole notebook filled with my own drawings and writings: fantasy lands, dwarves, princesses, magical worlds. Sadly, the notebook went missing and until now I got no idea where it has been. But I still have hopes in finding it, 'cause it already has become part of my history. Then, when I went to high school, I started something like that, too, I wrote stories at the back of my notebook to make fun of my classmates.Until Ganda Hero Series was born, not really a Sci-Fi novel but a big kalokohan with characters using magic powers interjected with real events that happened in school. It was a lot of fun!
|Jahric Lago's self-published books!
I have been writing stories since I was in grade school. But I discovered writing as my career when I entered college. I wrote a novelette titled She Still Loves Her which won a grand prize in Heartbreakers Special Edition Writing Contest, and that where it all began. The determination, word vomit and book ideas flooded me. I became serious in writing and even absorbed training through writing workshops and words from my mentors, Mr. Robert Alegre, Mrs. Carlota Panganiban, and Mr. Emil Daroy.
At the present time, I have six self-published books. Now, I'm working on the new novella titled Circles. Plus, here's a list of more about my upcoming books: The Secret Green Door, Revenge of a Brokenhearted Girl, House of Madame Ermelita, and The Fierce Five. Inspiration never dies, I know. My genres are vastly of romance, fantasy, and mystery. This might be because of the influence of the authors I have read and still reading. I have written a bunch of novelettes as well: Cellphone, If Tyron Banks, Christmas Gift, I Do, Shattered, and Te Amo. These stories would then be part of a collection titled as: Jarred: A Collection of Jahric Lago's Novelettes to be released this 2014.
I wrote this novella with my Fiercely Real Friend, Francesca Mateo. We agreed that I would be writing about the male protagonist, Rico Ramirez, and she would be writing about the female protagonist, Leigh Lucero. The book was alternated with the point of view of Rico and Leigh per chapter, which we intended. We finished the book for about two months only. This is my first self-published book which I got copies from a traditional publishing financed by my auntie in Germany, Tita Lanie Menge.
Giovanni Bactol Jr. is very close to my heart because aside from the fact that this is the first novella I have written, also because Gio is my alter ego. His story was based from the events that really happened in my life, yes, some parts of this book were interpreted exaggeratedly for it to become more interesting. Writng Giovanni Bactol Jr. took me only a week, yes, just one week. Now, I wish that I could still write stories that fast, just jealous to the old me.
That what I learned, wirting your first novella would always be easy, and the second, third and so on would be cuh-ray-zee hard! Because you would then have to be careful to not make the same story and personality of characters as your first. GIO 2.0 is the second installment of the series. I was actually planning to make three books, a trilogy, but a sequel is good enough, I thought. Same GIO 2.0 continued the story left behind Giovanni Bactol Jr., the events were as true and as exaggeratedly altered as well.
Yes, Ganda Hero was the first Filipino book I've written (still unpublished because I'm still fixing some parts and worried that my high school classmates would kill me knowing that there's actually a book now, about them) but Anong Klaseng Estudyante Ka? is my first self-published Filipino book. This book is a memoir about me. Well, mostly fun experiences of my school life: grade school, high school and college. Also got facts I learned about students, teachers, subjects and just the entire school itself. A point of view from Jahric Lago as a hardheaded, naughty, but smart-ass student.
This is by far the hardest novella to finish. This is based on my experiences in the first call center job I had. It took me a year to get all the plots and concepts together. Because I always tumble into writer's block, plenty of those at that time. But finishing it was all worth it! Now, this is my most-read book in Wattpad. I love this story, too. I know, as an author you shouldn't have favorites but honestly this is my favorite work so far. The ending is just so wonderful. I love the author of this book, I love him so much! Really? I love myself! Kidding!
This collection was inspired by a bunch of people, books and internet sites. It also inspired my writings. With that, you would notice passages, lines or even ideas in this book that I have integrated in my writings. This collection has become my treasure box of love inspiration. When I feel I need a boost, I dive my hand inside it and indulge its essence, then I will become motivated again to write about love. This has inspired me all these years. Articles of Love will take you to a rollercoaster ride of all about love, heartbreaks, letting go, moving on, and finding another love that will make you realize forever is not enough.

Eating. Who on Earth doesn't want to eat? Everyone's hobby is eating, count me in. The first day I tasted my mother's milk, I realized that I couldn't be separated with food. I loved it! Couldn't even forget my dinner when I was a kid: hot cooked rice, mixed with freshly cracked egg, topped with margarine. Yum! Even my usual snack from way before: hot cooked rice, Milo (or any chocolate powder), and add a little hot water on that. And voila, instant champorado!

Food is an adventure. Take the first bite and you will not know how your taste buds will react. Will you like the taste or not? I'm a big food adventurer. I wanted to taste every little exotic food the nature could offer. The most exotic foods I have eaten already were: balut, one-day-old chicken, snake, stingray, and a lot more. Whatever it is, as long as it's edible, I will devour it!
Food fuels the mind and body to go further, to move forward, for you to reach your dreams. Deep? I know. But very true. What is that dream? Well, as I said awhile ago, I wanted to taste the different flavors of the world. I want to travel. Macau. Italy. Brazil. New York. Everywhere! Just to eat, write and share my experiences. My ever dearest dream is to become like Anthony Bourdain or Andrew Zimmern. I want to become a TLC host, too. I want my dreams to come to life.

Cooking. My roots of cooking spouted from my parents. We own an eatery outside our house and my parents cook the dishes we serve. Since then, I learned how to cook… good food. The first cuisine I learned was Filipino, of course: adobo, sinigang, and kare-kare. Our family and relatives really love cooking. My grandparents are the best cooks! My aunties and uncles, too.

At the beginning, I wasn't planning to enroll myself in Hotel and Restaurant Management. My dream was to get a diploma in Culinary Arts, but it was way too much expensive. So, I landed in HRM. Being a HRM student would still grant my dream in a similar way. I was able to cook and bake the food galore I wanted. Plus, a lesson in management. With that, now I have plans of becoming a GM or a restaurateur someday, or even put up my own café, which I already have a name: JARRED. The café I was planning to put up would have a mixture of my academic conception and passion for books. So, the idea was a coffee shop selling jarred cakes and book shop selling my books and others. WARNING: Don't steal my idea, or you'll be dead tomorrow! Just kidding. But I'm serious, I'm telling you.
Now, this coming April 2014, I am graduating with flying colors! Just so proud of myself. And of cooking.
