Blog post by Reina Garcia
A TV commercial for a popular brand of toothpaste claims a certain variant can prevent bacteria build-up for up to 12 hours. It features a guy brushing his teeth prior to his flight from Manila, and checking his and his seatmates mouths for bad bacteria when the plane lands in San Francisco, 12 hours later.
My mind was blown when I realized that it takes approximately the same amount of time to fly from Manila to San Francisco, as it does to travel from Metro Manila to Sagada, Mountain Province.
A week ago I took a much-needed respite from the crazy traffic and
the fumes of Metro Manila and with a ragtag group of gals made our way to the Cordilleras to see the rice terraces. As a second-timer to Sagada, I was tasked with booking our bus tickets from Manila. I did my research and found that there were 3 options to get to Sagada: 1) Take a 11 to 12-hour bus ride from E. Rodriguez, Quezon City to Bontoc municipality in Mountain Province and from there take a 45-minute jeepney or van ride to the town of Sagada. 2) Take a 9 to 10-hour bus ride from Sampaloc, Manila to Banaue in Ifugao province and from there, take a 2-hour jeepney or van ride to Bontoc, then a 45-minute ride to Sagada; and 3) Take a 5 to 7-hour bus trip to Baguio City, switch bus terminals and from there take a 6-hour bus trip to Sagada.
The first option was the preferred one, as one can just sleep the bus ride away and wake up in the Mountain Province. We were not able to book seats on time however, so we had to go with second choice. The bus terminal was a small and simple open-air space in Sampaloc, Manila, where one would least expect free wifi, but there it was, along with the obligatory donut stand. Most of our fellow tourists in the terminal were foreigners.
Comparing the journey to my first time to Sagada around 6 years ago, I noticed that the roads have significantly improved. Most of the way is already paved, and no longer are there bumpy roads with one side a sharp drop
down a cliff that I remember from my first trip. Still, the prospect of 12-hour travel along winding roads in buses that may sometimes have less-than-reputable reputation for safety does continue to dissuade travellers (ehem, Filipinos) from going to places we only read about in our elementary textbooks or see in our banknotes.
For some reason, this calls to mind the ease and accessibility of travel to Boracay, which has numerous options for flights, ferries, buses, vans, and bancas to the famed island. As a consequence, tourism development has gone to urbanization levels, and the island chokes with tourists, new establishments, and unmanageable amounts of garbage. The same can be said of Baguio City, where one can no longer see pine trees in the city center.
In Sagada, on the other hand, while I did notice many new restaurants and inns, and several buildings being constructed as compared to my previous trip, the pace of development seems to be as chill as the general vibe of the town and the townsfolk. Alisa comments that even the designs of the jeepneys are a throwback to the Atari graphics of the 70s and 80s. Call me selfish, but I kind of hope that the place will remain as not too accessible to tourists; because in the end, maybe the ones who brave the bus and jeepney trips to the Cordilleras are the ones who care most about preserving its nature and small-town charm.

Hi Dol53,
Last week we went to a Notary Public (in England) and signed power of attorney for our solicitor in Spain to take Tecnologia to court. The solicitor has said it should cost about 10% of the amount the builder owes if it does go to court. He estimated that it may take 6-9 months.
Iberian have admitted that they have just under 18,000 euro of the monies (which they previously said they hadn't) and if we signed a form renouncing our rights to the property they would give the monies back to us. We couldnt sign these forms obviously as we dont renounce our rights to the property until all monies from both Iberian & Tecnologia are paid back. Dont let them fool you into signing anything that is not clear and precise to your situation.
I am in contact with alot of people who bought here also and through Atlas. some have been waiting 10-12 months after the 6 month extra written into the contract and still have not got their money back yet. I have to say none of them has gone through a solicitor and are relying on Atlas/Iberian to get it for them. Of the people (1) I know who have had their money back they have not had any interest paid on the monies as stated in the contract.
If you would like anymore info e-mail me email@example.com
Good Luck to everyone in getting back what's rightfully theirs

Fit Feature - Lauren Hannaford
Posted on 11 September 2014
A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of catching up with the gorgeous Lauren Hannford. Lauren is a tonne of fun and always up for a challenge which is what makes her instagram so inspiring (seriously! look at some of the moves she can do!) and what made her so much fun to shoot with. She definitely embodies an ' Urban Warrior' which is the focus of our Spring 2014 collection. I can't wait to catch up again!

Tell us a bit your yourself and your fitness journey, why fitness?
I have always been a fit and active person throughout my life. It started from the age of 5 when I became an elite gymnast which continued for the next 20 years. Throughout that time i've also competed in swimming, athletics and diving. Other than gymnastics I took a real liking to athletics.... Triple jump in particular. I had a battle for a while about maybe taking myself out of gymnastics and focusing my time on becoming an Olympic triple jumper but in the end I chose to continue on with my gymnastics and haven't looked back.
After retiring I became a gymnastics coach for many years and also wanted to focus on fitness training specifically so that I could combine the two which got me into becoming a Personal Trainer. I have since spent the last 4 years touring the world as a Wiggly gymnast/dancer/character for The Wiggles. Being away so much I then had to be able to find time and locations for my training. This fit me perfectly because with my kind of training/coaching can be done anywhere. Whether it be the carpark of the Hammersmith Apollo Theatre in London on under the stage of the Best Buy Theatre on Broadway NY by doing interval body weight exercises incorporating HIIT and core gymnastics exercises and skills I managed to be able to train anywhere and stay fit throughout the whole time being on the road.I am based back in Sydney at the moment and ready to train anywhere in this beautiful city.

Leaving tomorrow for yearly camping trip, but this year we're staying a week (come back in on the 26th), so I need some posts from the co-bloggers if possible (doing great court).
I hope everyone has a great weekend / week and I'll see you soon.
Baitullah's House
Pakistan's #1 Taliban fan is Baitullah Mehsud.
Playing Pakistan's newly elected gov for igmo shorties and victims, Baitullah's posse Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan is a fanclub miltia of outlaws, smugglers, slavers and time traveling intolerants that routinely bring battle from Talibanistan to insurge chaos into neighboring Afghanistan.
What does it mean? Prime Minister Hamid shares what it means (The vid is awesome - way better than the quote)
"This means that Afghanistan has the right of self defense. When they cross
the territory from Pakistan to come and kill Afghans and kill coalition troops,
it exactly gives us the right to go back and do the same. Therefore, Baitullah
Mehsud should know that we will go after him now and hit him in his
Baitullah's house has been converted into a missile impact area. Freshly visited by Great Satan.
This is significant. Great Satan has been launching attacks into Pakistan all year long.
Rand Corps "Counter Insurgency in Afghanistan" makes a great case that til Pakistan's lawless regions settle down - trouble with Taliban will continue. And The Land of The Pure's pussyfooting about with intolerants is fueling more instability.
Essentially, security in Afghanistan has gotten about as good as it gets.
Until those Federated No Go Zones across the border are magically transformed into combat zones with a surge on the ground - regardless or inspite of any 'negotiations' and dialogue with killers who've killed nearly 300 ppl in Pakistan since those contacts have fickled and fizziled.
Baitullah wasn't at home when the missiles hit.
Pakistan's politicians are put on the spot after assuring sovereign neighbors that having a border with Pakistan is safe as milk.(After all - since this cat claims he wacked beautiful Benazir - he might very well wack recently elected politicians).
The state must maintain the monopoly of violence. Playing politics while shielding militant intolerants while preaching to sovereign neighbors not to act out in righteousness on a prob that the Land of the Pure's pure unsovereignity can't seem to get a grip on is totally retarded.
Baitullah's house may very well be the destination that Great Britain's new surge in Afghanistan is all about.
Blitzing no go zones on foot is a "...different but very serious challenge..."
"The Taliban's campaign is now limited to intimidating Afghan communities,
coercing the vulnerable into becoming suicide bombers and carrying out brutal
and indiscriminate attacks on the International Community and above all the
Afghans themselves – men, women and children.
As their conventional attacks have failed we have seen their tactics shift
to mines, roadside bombs and suicide vests. These tactics run deeply counter to
the Afghan culture. As does the Taliban's reliance on paid foreign fighters –
the so called 'ten dollar Talibs' who now make up the majority of those doing
the fighting for them.
Taliban's new tactics pose a different but very serious challenge, both to
our forces and to the local people.
A guestimated 1/2K Taliban fanboys busted out of jail in a 'complex' attack and took over turf near Kandahar. Afghani, NATO and Great Satan have trekked and killed 27 Talibani and recaptured 20.
Taliban fanboys are now combatant bullet magnets.
The quiz is - will they break back to Pakistan for R and R or will they make a last stand in the fruit orchards of Khandahar province?
In the essential "America's Victories" (Sentinel Press, 1st Edition in black and desert sage with gold gilt) Dr Larry Schweikart preaches how Great Satan has always been unique in war - many times launching raids to free and return with American POW's.
Yankee General Stoneman's raid to Macon to free Union prisoners failed - yet a century later Colonel Mucci freed American GI's from certain death in the Philippines in the 'Great Raid."
"In our more than 200 year history, not one of our opponents - not even the
British - conducted a raid, or made any attempt whatsoever to free their own
prisoners. That is an astounding comment on the American way of war."
Taliban's jailbreak is also a comment on a move that proves that either Taliban is adapting Great Satan's 'leave no comrade behind' edict, or is running awful shy on volitguers, or is getting semi pro military advice from Pakistan sympathizers launching a diversion to catch some breathing space after NATO attacks into Pakistan's magical no go zones.

Democrat Lawyers
I received this,and found it interesting, and most likely accurate. It alludes to the reductionist errors our courts and lawmakers make, while they profess to work for the American people. I cannot fathom why our Supreme Court is allowed to continue to make the absurd decisions they make, many of which ignore the goals of our Constitution.Read the rest from WM; very good piece on what the American people need to think about.The Democrat Party has become the Lawyers' Party. Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are lawyers. Bill Clinton and Michelle Obama are lawyers. John Edwards, the other former Democrat candidate for president, is a lawyer, and so is his wife, Elizabeth. Every Democrat nominee since 1984 went to law school (although Gore did not graduate). Every Democrat vice presidential nominee since 1976, except for Lloyd Bentsen, went to law school. Look at the Democrat Party in Congress: the Majority Leader in each house is a lawyer.
The Republican Party is different. President Bush and Vice President Cheney were not lawyers, but businesspersons. The leaders of the Republican Revolution were not lawyers. Newt Gingrich was a history professor; Tom Delay was an exterminator; and, Dick Armey was an economist. House Minority Leader Boehner was a plastic manufacturer, not a lawyer. The former Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist is a heart surgeon.
Tipping Point
Military experts call it the tipping point. This does not mean that all fighting suddenly comes to a halt. Nor does it mean that the loser would necessarily throw in the towel. What it means is that after the "tipping point", the loser has no prospect of restoring the balance of power without which no war continues for long.
In Algeria, the tipping point came in 1995 with its first free multi-candidate presidential election.
The tipping point Iraq, too, came with the election, that produced the country's first freely chosen government under Prime Minister Ibrahim al-Jaafari. All terrorist and reactionary forces had pooled their resources to make sure those elections won't happen. The courage of the Iraqi people proved stronger.
Now that the Bush presidency moves towards its close, many opponents of new Iraq, especially in the West and Arab countries, are beginning to admit that new Iraq is not failing.
Some are even expressing joy about the fact that Al Qaeda and Jaish al-Mahdi and other terror gangs have been defeated.
As long as Bush doesn't get the credit, all is OK. Maybe President Barack Obama will end up claiming credit for the success in a speech in Baghdad, ending with a phrase in Arabic: I am a Baghdadi! Since Obama sees himself as a new John F Kennedy, he would have no qualms about imitating JFK who ended a speech in Berlin with the famous phrase: Ich bin ein Berliner!
Anyway, what matters is that today even the most determined critics of the war are beginning to admit, albeit grudgingly, that Iraq might not be the quagmire they have claimed it was since 2003.
Even Obama now admits that although there are not "many good options" in Iraq, there may be some!
One such good option, of course, is to remain committed until new Iraq's institutions are solidified, its security fully assured, and its economy put back on track.
All that is the good news.
Now for the bad news; yes, as always and everywhere, there is some.
The elections that gave the new system legitimacy, thus helping bring about the tipping point, is beginning to fade in Iraqi memories. In a democracy, mandates need to be renewed, sometimes faster than the governing elite hopes. The "one man, one vote, once "scheme has no place in democracy.
The Iraqi parliament and government are fast approaching their sell-by date. (Many believe they have passed it).
This should not be taken as a criticism of Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki whom history is likely to remember as a courageous leader in a difficult time. However, successful or unsuccessful, the incumbents need to be put to the test of popular will again and soon.
There are several reasons for this.
First, the last two elections were, in fact, census operations on a national scale. They were designed to reveal the relative strength of the ethnic and religious communities that together make up the Iraqi nation. The system of voting for lists of candidates was inevitable in a country that had never had free elections and had lived under the most brutal dictatorship since 1958. People could not know individual candidates because Saddam Hussein had not allowed anyone to acquire a political profile.
Now, however, political parties of all description, from monarchist to communist and passing by nationalist, liberal, conservative, Islamist and socialist, have had five years in which to make themselves known and build a support base. In Iraq today, it is possible to vote for party programmes rather than bloc lists of ethnic and/or religious identity.
Second, the list of candidates fielded last time included a disproportionate number of former exiles. That, too, was inevitable because outsiders had had more opportunities to make a name than those inside Iraq. Now, however, a new generation of politicians, homegrown, younger and closer to the reality on the ground is available, and keen, to play a bigger role.
Third, the system of proportional representation used in the previous elections is no longer suitable.
What Iraq needs is a new system under which voters could have a direct relationship with their representatives. This means a system of single, or multi-member constituencies, so that people know whom they are electing.
In proportional representation, party bosses decide who should stand and who should not. This encourages loyalty to the party, rather than the country. The system, which excludes non-party independents, is even bad for parties because it helps promote "yes-men" rather than those who favour debate and dissent.
Fourth, new elections are needed to cut out some of the deadwood in the political elite.
This elite includes some truly embarrassing figures. There are members of parliament who hardly attended a session, content to pocket the fat salary, get hold of the bulletproof limousine, and secure lucrative posts for nephews and cousins. Some spend more time in London and Paris than Baghdad.
Since Iraq is preparing for municipal elections, it could broaden the exercise by including a general election for a new parliament. The ideal time would be at the end of this year or in the fist week of January while George W Bush is still in office and the US commitment beyond question. Even if John McCain succeeds Bush, the Senate and the Congress are likely to be dominated by Democrats, a party whose engine right now is the anti-war network dedicated to snatching defeat from the jaws of victory in Iraq.
With a new parliament and government in place in Baghdad, backed by a new and stronger popular mandate, the passionate seekers of defeat in the US would find it harder to impose their weird obsession on the new president in Washington.

Right or Left
Read the whole thing; from money to honesty, it covers everything. Then read the comments and spot the lefties having a fit.
George Orwell once wrote that politics was closely related to social identity. 'One sometimes gets the impression,' he wrote in The Road To Wigan Pier, 'that the mere words socialism and communism draw towards them with magnetic force every fruit-juice drinker, nudist, sandal-wearer, sex-maniac, Quaker, nature-cure quack, pacifist and feminist in England'.
Orwell was making an observation. But today a whole body of academic research shows he was correct: your politics influence the manner in which you live your life. And the news is not so good for those on the political Left.
There is plenty of data that shows that Right-wingers are happier, more generous to charities, less likely to commit suicide - and even hug their children more than those on the Left.

Something to pass the time:
Great read about a possible help to the oil problem in this country.
In a previous post we talked about the need to drill here drill now to help overcome our oil supply issues which is really driving up the price of oil and putting pressure on the economy. There have been reports of a lot of oil still left in the United States either in Alaska or off the Atlantic coast. There is Oil in these locations but there is a lot more in the form of what is termed Shale Oil. There is a lot more of this Oil in deposits through out the US. A lot of this is in the State of Utah.
Utah has many times been referred to as the gold mine of the United States because of the rich concentration of all type of minerals found in the State. The majority of the copper available in the US comes from Utah as well as Silver and lot of other minerals. Well it has shale oil too and a company is working on a plan to extract that oil and use it for the United States.
Father's Day
How Iraq Got Her Groove On
The enemies of Iraq and America now cling desperately to their last bastions, while the political process builds momentum.
These tremendous gains remain fragile and could be lost to skillful enemy action, or errors in Baghdad or Washington. But where the U.S. was unequivocally losing in Iraq at the end of 2006, we are just as unequivocally winning today.
By February 2008, America and its partners accomplished a series of tasks thought to be impossible. The Sunni Arab insurgency and al Qaeda in Iraq were defeated in Anbar, Diyala and Baghdad provinces, and the remaining leaders and fighters clung to their last urban outpost in Mosul.
The Iraqi government passed all but one of the "benchmark" laws (the hydrocarbon law being the exception, but its purpose is now largely accomplished through the budget) and was integrating grass-roots reconciliation with central political progress. The sectarian civil war had ended.
Meanwhile, the Iraqi Security Forces (ISF), swelled by 100,000 new recruits in 2007, was fighting hard and skillfully throughout Iraq. The Shiite-led government was showing an increasing willingness to use its forces even against Shiite militias. The announcement that provincial elections would be held by year's end galvanized political movements across the country, focusing Iraq's leaders on the need to get more votes rather than more guns.
Three main challenges to security and political progress remained: clearing al Qaeda out of Mosul; bringing Basra under the Iraqi government's control; and eliminating the Special Groups safe havens in Sadr City. It seemed then that these tasks would require enormous effort, entail great loss of life, and take the rest of the year or more. Instead, the Iraqi government accomplished them within a few months.
The war is not over. Enemy groups are reforming, rearming and preparing new attacks. Al Qaeda in Iraq will conduct spectacular attacks in 2008 wherever it can. Special Groups and their JAM affiliates will probably reconstitute within a few months and launch new offensives timed to influence both the American and Iraqi elections in the fall.
And for all its progress and success, the ISF is not yet able to stand on its own. Coalition forces continue to play key support roles, maintaining stability and security in cleared but threatened areas, and serving as impartial and honest brokers between Iraqi groups working toward reconciliation.
But success is in sight. Compared with the seemingly insurmountable obstacles already overcome, the remaining challenges in Iraq are eminently solvable – if we continue to pursue a determined strategy that builds on success rather than throwing our accomplishments away.
No one in December 2006 could have imagined how far we would have come in 18 months. Having come this far, we must see this critical effort through to the end.

Her research interests in modern and contemporary philosophy focus mainly on the works of authors such as Bergson, Deleuze, Derrida, and Cavell who all, in spite of their obvious differences, attempt to transform philosophy so that it can continue to be faithful to its ancient task of being at once a criticism of culture and a therapeutic of the self. She is also interested in how philosophical problems are expressed and renewed outside of the canon, especially in literature, films, and TV series. Her teaching reflects her research interests and is guided by the commitment to the most historically accurate and conceptually generous reading of texts. Some of her recent courses and seminars include: "Gilles Deleuze. Critical Philosophy," "The Event and the Ordinary," "The Morality and Politics of Skepticism," "Cinema and Philosophy," "What Remains of the Human," "Concepts of Life," "Who or What exactly is the Other?"
Her principal publications include: Genesis and Trace: Derrida Reader of Husserl and Heidegger (Stanford University Press, 2005); Gilles Deleuze: Cinema and Philosophy (Johns Hopkins University Press, 2008); Cavell and Modernism, ed. (Bloomsbury Press, forthcoming); and Bergson et le contemporain, co-authored with F. Sebbah (Belles Lettres, forthcoming). She is currently completing a book manuscript entitled The Event and the Ordinary: On the Philosophy of Gilles Deleuze and Stanley Cavell.

Unanswered: seismological data
hi all
i'm currently applying for a job at a geo physics reasearch center
what i'd like to know is:
do you think that PostgreSQL could cope well with extremely large amounts of geo-physical data ?
(data measured by the geologists and seismologists)
and furthermore does PostgreSQl work well with other DBMS
( possibly the odd legacy kind ?
thanks in advance

For such special data
I think postgres is the best solution
we are now moving to a project with familiar data and I think there will be no real problems with postgres.
What other legacy DBMS?
On what level interacting with other DBMS?http://www.postgresql.org

See http://postgis.refractions.net/ for a nice project to add GIS/spatial capability to PostgreSQL. And I agree that PostgreSQL is the best open source DBMS for this sort of work.
PostgreSQL shouldn't have any more difficulty working with legacy data than any other SQL DBMS. It "talks" to all the standard data interchange formats, such as ODBC, JDBC, etc... (except it doesn't have built-in XML abilities yet) and it allows for easy import of flatfile data.
Really, usually legacy integration is handled by the application layer to a certain extent. But, since PostgreSQL allows for stored procedures (functions) written in several languages, including Perl, TCL, Python, C, etc... then it is quite possible to connect to external legacy databases from inside PostgreSQL functions.
For example, running Perl stored procedures in "untrusted" mode allows for procedures to connect to the filesystem to read flat-file data, execute command-line programs and return output, or to load Perl modules to connect to any number of database systems supported in CPAN. Since stored procedures can now return sets, they can be queried to return columnar data in SQL exactly the same way that normal tables do. Thus, it is possible to create procedures which connect to external databases, but which act just like tables inside the database (obviously, this takes some work...).
Also, there is an add-on module called "dblink" in the /contrib directory of the PostgreSQL source that even allows for connection to external databases from SQL queries and procedures. I don't know how many DBMSs it will connect to, though.

Organizers of the 2nd Annual National Day of Non-Violence are hoping it will bring everyone "together in unity to create peace in our community where so much violence is going on." The groups Unite or Die and National Stop the Killing are among the groups bringing it all together in Atlanta. A silent march is scheduled for this Saturday at 1pm at 1241 Joseph E. Boone Boulevard. On Sunday, September 18, a Streets Unite event with speakers will be held at 11am at 3642 Campbellton Road in Atlanta.
According to National Stop the Killing founder Yonasda Lonewolf, "If you are so tired of the violence that is our community, if you feel uncomfortable and say I have to make a change, come down to The Bluff."
There are more than 20 cities across the United States that will be doing a solidarity walk on Saturday, September 17.
