Survivor's Guiltposted on Mon, 15 Jun 2009 12:00 AM
The movie is based on a true story. In a small town in Bohol, a town is rocked when over a hundred young students are hospitalized after eating some tainted cassava cakes, killing about two dozen children. The blame falls squarely on the shoulders of Lola Idang (Gloria Romero), who accidentally used pesticide instead of flour in her recipe. The movie follows the fallout of the tragedy through the eyes of Ariel (Nash Aguas), who lost his two best friends to the poisoning, and is struggling to come to terms with his own survival. Meanwhile, the whole town falls apart as they try to deal with the pain of losing so many children.
The story has a lot of smart little details, but it's not as tight as it could be. This is a really intelligent look into survivor's guilt, into the complex mix of emotions that come after a devastating tragedy. And through the eyes of Ariel, we get to see a lot of very genuine emotion. But the movie is also filled with a lot of extraneous details. We get caught up in subplots where the characters are just caricatures, and that hurts the overall emotional impact of the film. The strength of the picture lies in its ability to show some slice of the truth, and it's all put into question when we encounter characters that simply don't ring true. It also loosens up the narrative, placing details that are ultimately droppable, drawing attention away from the parts of the picture that are actually compelling. One can understand the yearning to really look at the overall psyche of the town, but the way it's done in this movie, they come off as little distractions that don't add up to anything. In the end, the arc of the townspeople feels extraneous to the overall themes of the film, and the movie would've been served better by a greater focus on the main character.
It helps that the main character is played by Nash Aguas. Aguas is showing a lot of potential, forgoing the usual child star hamminess and sticking to something a little more real. His talent becomes more apparent when he's compared to his fellow child actors, who do play it up a bit too much. It feels like blasphemy to say this, but Gloria Romero is starting to be a detriment in her scenes. She definitely has presence, but sometimes it feels like she's out of sync with the pacing of her scenes. Irma Adlawan is stuck with playing the movie's most ridiculous character, and she cartoons it up as well. It was just sad.
Kamoteng Kahoy really does have some great writing in it, but it doesn't come together as well as it could. The emotions are there, but the way the movie is structured fails to highlight those strengths, as the movie meanders through weaker subplots that ultimately don't add much to the final picture. The movie does have its moments, little scenes that indicate a profound understanding of the thoughts and emotions involved in dealing with tragedy. In the end, though, they're all still just moments.

By Quenda Behler
A contractor recently approached me with the following
question: "My liability insurance company says I must have
indemnification or hold-harmless clauses in all of my contracts
with my customers and my subs. What's the deal with
Hold-harmless and indemnification agreements are basically the
same thing: risk management devices that manage risk by passing
it off onto somebody else -- kind of like a game of financial
tag. One person gets another person to accept his or her risk
of having to pay a liability claim. Sometimes the contractor
promises to indemnify (hold harmless) the property owner.
Sometimes a sub promises to indemnify the contractor. Sometimes
the property owner or the contractor promises to indemnify the
The point is that if you include a clause in your contracts
requiring property owners and subs to indemnify you for
liability claims, you've passed the risk of a claim on to them
-- and your insurance company is off the hook.
For example, suppose some passing stranger is injured by
falling debris on the job site and successfully sues the
property owner for negligence. That's a liability claim. If Sam
the Contractor has agreed to indemnify the property owners for
third-party liability claims (by third party, I mean
deliverymen, building inspectors, wandering children,
trespassers, and so forth), Sam has to pay the claim. (If Sam's
contract had required the property owners to indemnify
him, the property owners would have to pay that claim,
whether they were sued or Sam was sued.)
Why on earth would Sam agree to this? Why would anyone? The
first reason has to do with who's got the most clout in a
negotiation. In other words, if you're a contractor, how badly
do you want the job? If you're a property owner, how badly do
you want the job done? Indemnification of the other party can
be a bargaining chip.
Another reason is to make an honest effort between the parties
to apportion the cost of an accident to the person who's most
likely in a position to prevent it. In effect, the parties
agree about that in advance.
Until recently, contractors didn't have to worry particularly
about indemnity promises, because most liabilities incurred by
a contractor were paid by his or her liability insurance.
Indemnity agreements worked as a sort of liability musical
chairs to see whose insurance company -- the property owner's,
the contractor's, or the sub's -- would wind up paying a claim.
Nowadays, however -- especially with certain kinds of risks --
that buck doesn't always stop at the insurance company, so the
party promising indemnity might have to pay a claim out of his
own pocket.
How could that happen? After all, paying off liability claims
is what liability insurance is for, and it costs some pretty
back-breaking premiums, too.
Here's how it could happen: By excluding certain kinds of
claims from their coverage -- like claims about mold, lead, and
some types of exterior cladding -- insurance companies are
reducing the risk that they might actually have to pay out some
money. Insurance companies do not want to pay if you are sued
by a homeowner because, for example, after you installed an
exterior insulation finish system, a lot of ugly mold grew
under it and the homeowner's children developed asthma.
So what can you do to protect yourself? First, review what
your insurance actually covers. Don't assume that because you
had an insurance review a few years ago, you're okay. Second,
read your contracts to see exactly what you're promising to
whom. Don't skip over the legalese. If you aren't sure what
something means, ask your attorney.
While you're reading that legalese, see who pays the legal
bills if someone claims to have been injured and sues. Even if
you promise someone indemnification, you don't want to also
promise to pay his legal bills -- especially if the injured
party loses in court.
In the following example, the legal language is unacceptably
broad from the standpoint of the contractor because it includes
words like "every" and "claim" in addition to
The contractor shall at all times indemnify
the property owner harmless from every claim,
demand, liability, and loss....
This means that the contractor might have to pay a
settlement or even an invalid claim. Also, the contractor seems
to be accepting the obligation to pay the property owner's
attorney fees and, depending on state law, the obligation to
pay claims occasioned by the property owner's negligence.
Even though the next example doesn't use the magic terms "hold
harmless" or "indemnity," it is nevertheless an indemnity
promise, because the contractor is promising to reimburse the
property owner if the property owner is forced to pay a claim
relating to an injury on the job site, even if it's the
property owner who was negligent:
The contractor will pay and discharge any and
all liability against the property owner rising out
of the subject matter of the contract....
On the other hand, you do want to be sure the legalese gives
you the right to get involved in the court battle if you need
to. For example, suppose the property owner's father-in-law
comes over to check on the work, and he falls into the
excavation and hurts himself. You want the right to defend
against the father-in-law's lawsuit yourself, because the
property owner might not be willing to vigorously defend
himself by doing what amounts to calling his father-in-law an
The sample clause that follows gives the contractor the right
to get involved early on if he or she chooses:
The property owner shall immediately notify
the contractor of every claim that has potential
liability, and the contractor shall have the option
to intervene at any level to resolve any claim with
potential liability.
Sometimes you will want to be the beneficiary of an indemnity
clause. If there's an iffy situation on the job site -- if, for
instance, the property owners are still living there -- you
want to be sure the homeowners have agreed to indemnify you (in
case their five children have friends over on the weekend and
they all play in the excavation).
The next example requires the property owner to indemnify the
contractor if the property owner is careless or negligent; it
also gives the contractor the right to intervene if the
property owner does not defend himself adequately:
The property owner shall indemnify and hold
the contractor harmless from all claims, demands,
liability, and losses which result from the
carelessness, negligence, or failure of the
property owner to act in a careful and prudent
manner. The contractor shall have the option to
intervene in the claim at any level.
Also, make sure your subs have agreed to indemnify you in
case you have to pay a claim for their negligence. Get and keep
copies of their insurance certificates so you know they can pay
you if their negligence costs you money.
A last word of warning: There is, in tort law, a concept
called implied indemnification, which means that you could be
on the hook for indemnification without having anything about
it in your contracts. So get out those liability insurance
polices and read them carefully to make sure you're covered in
the event someone demands indemnification from you.

this is what I expected to happen, thats why i was surprised by Mortenson saying they had offered him a "signficant" contract.
Seriously, just because he didn't sign the offer doesn't mean it wasn't significant. Because how is Simms agent supposed to know what exactly is significant until other teams are allowed to make offers?Some people in here draw conclusions way too quickly..
I don't think anyone is drawing any conclusions. Mort said significant, and most likely he was talking in terms of average Qb salaries around the league (8.5 mil). I think Mort had it wrong, but if they did offer him a significant contract and he passed it up hen he has no plans to remain in Tampa.

4.48/5 rDev +0.2%
slightly chilled and poured into pint glass.
Beer is brown on the pour, not much of a head... maybe 1cm. Good staying power, though. Nice oatmeal cookie batter color.
The nose on this is simply fantastic... I am adrift on a sea of bourbon. I already know I am going to like this one.
The bourbon is here and it's front and center. It's not that hot, though. Really nutty and a lot of toasted oak. Brewed with honey? I don't taste it. Oh well, I'll just have to sit here and enjoy this fantastic bourbon flavor.
I remember reading that the base beer was being beefed up this year. I had EW, not EC last year, but I think I appriciate this one. It's still fairly light in the broader spectrum but it works well with the bourbon. Actually, I'm quite pleased at the body on this.
This beer is great. I'm jazzed to be sitting on the 18/20 yr. bottle... now I just need to find an excuse to open it!
Thanks, Arbi. I really enjoyed this beer.

2011 Vintage
Bottle # 3397
A - Pours a slightly bubbly tan/khaki colored head that retreats into the blackness of the body.
S - Lots of bourbon. Oak. Some chocolate. Cherries and other dark fruit as it warms up. Alcohol is noticeable, but not overpowering.
T - Flavor is phenomenal and extremely well balanced. Deep, robust and not overly rich. Nice chocolate notes. Mild bourbon and vanilla.
M - Mouth is just under full bodied. Silky with light creamy carbonation. Spot on for how I like in Barrel Aged Stouts.
O - Amazing brew. Can't tell if I like this or the 18 year more. The only knock I have is that I wish the ABV was a little higher but other then that this is an almost flawless Barrel Aged Stout.

2009 - Purple Wax - Bottle# 850
Pours into my glass a deep brooding black with a small dark tan head that quickly fades. Bit under carbonated. No light getting through this brew. Aromas start off with smooth dark roasted malts, chocolate and honey. Vanilla and sweet bright bourbon alongside an oak barrel character. Bourbon is really well integrated and draws you in.
First sip brings smooth dark malts, chocolate truffle upfront with honey sweet accents. Bourbon rolls in with caramel and vanilla flavors. Woody oak barrel as it flows down with a touch of spiciness. Smooth and well balanced, the bourbon is perfectly integrated here. Wonderful.
Mouthfeel is smooth and medium bodied. A bit slick with mellow carbonation. I enjoy the fact that this is not overly heavy. Overall, this is a great bourbon aged stout with well integrated flavors that all hit the right marks. Really happy to have been able to sample this and looking forward to the 2010 versions.

Bottle 2273. 2011 Vintage into a snifter.
A - Pours deep brown with half a finger of brown head. Head settles rather quickly, but does leave some lacing behind.
S - Chocolate, quite a bit of vanilla, some dark fruits, some oak, including a small amount of char, and some noticeable alcohol.
T - Chocolate and vanilla lead the way, with some oak notes and roasted malts. Chocolate is semi-sweet. Dark fruits become noticeable midway through, with some char and bitter chocolate on the finish. Subtle bourbon burn, works very well.
M - Medium mouthfeel with a very nice creaminess. Finish becomes more earthy and bitter.
O - This is the first of of the Eclipse beers I have had, and I was impressed. Not too heavy of a mouthfeel, but still a very nice creaminess. Bourbon is prominent but not in your face, and the fruit notes are nice.

A: Pitch black color with a nice brown head. Leaves some small lacing.
S: Tons of chocolate. Some vanilla and sweetness. Bit of bourbon at a distance.
T: Very sweet flavor. A bit of honey/vanilla followed by lots of chocolate fudge. Tastes almost like a brownie. Very good flavor although a bit lacking in the bourbon/barrel department.
M: Full bodied with nice carbonation for the style. Feels a bit creamy and sticky. A tiny bit of booze at the end.
O: This is another great variant from 50/50. I did prefer the slight spiciness and barrel character of the Rittenhouse Rye version but this one is very solid.

Epilepsy Society to open new research centre
2:54pm Thursday 28th February 2013 in News By Andy Carswell, Reporter
A NEW £3.4million research centre is being officially opened at the Chalfont St Peter-based Epilepsy Society tomorrow.
The state of the art building, at the charity's Chesham Lane base, will be the most advanced epilepsy research centre in the whole of Europe when it opens.
Epilepsy affects one in every 100 people and it's hoped the new centre will translate research into clinical practice.
Amanda Cleaver, Epilepsy Society's communications manager, said: "There are more than half a million people in the UK with epilepsy, so research is vital, especially for those whose seizures are yet to be controlled."
Chief Executive Graham Faulkner said: "We are very proud of our new building and excited by the research that will be carried out there. To celebrate its opening we are offering a free tour to anyone wanting to learn more about our research."
Tours will be held on Saturday March 2 and people are invited to turn up anytime between 2.30-4.30pm. More information is available by calling 01494 601300.

It's such a great shame that residents who had lived there from the age of 16 have been turfed out of their home notes than 50 years later and placed in inadequate flats etc without the care package they once received!! They were also removed from what they considered to be their families as the centre was all they have ever known :(((
Maybe these issues should have been addressed prior to a new research centre being built!!! I wonder whether the centre for living skills is still happening?? Hmmmm priorities aren't there anymore however the greed still remains .....

The NSE are doing a phenomenal job they truly are however ....
Why where so many of their clients turfed out of their living accommodation there when all they have ever known was the centre?
It's a shame ..... I'd quite happily help as much as I can with less able people however my hands are currently tied with my own daily battles .... I am sure you will read about these at a later date.
It always appears that priorities are the wrong ones, I know not everyone can be kept happy at all times however imagine a severely disabled person who has lived within a centre such as the NSE and after 60 years of living there and not knowing anything else to be then told they are going to be homeless??
One ex client which I know of was turfed out after spending all of his adult years there and he is now in his 60s with sever learning difficulties. He was removed from who he considered to be his family and then given a top floor flat to love in with no adequate care package put in place .... Truly upsetting ... Was there ever a risk assument done for this poor lonely gentleman? I highly doubt it .... Best part is, is that he is not the only case.
So although I am pleased that the NSE have done a brilliant job in securing a new research facility ... Please don't forget why you went into this CARE sector and remember these people. Do not put profit first and abuse the vulnerable ehmm maybe abuse was the wrong word let me rephrase ... Please try not take advantage of vulnerable people, they have enough to deal with on a daily basis, if they are aware ....

-morrow morning, the pitch could well stay playable. But, the possibility of snow/ice on terracing could be a big consideration, though fingers crossed. That said, there must be a likelihood of another pitch inspection to-morrow morning and of course, Aldershot will by then have travelled-up/stayed over and any postponement will cause problems to everyone, especially City, who will have to stump-up for all the costs.

Friday, January 24, 2014
One of my favorite books is De Nyew Testament, a Gullah translation of the King James Version of The Bible. I bought the book, published in 2005, from Bunny Rodrigues, a friend and native Georgetonian.
De Nyew Testament was a labor of love many years in the making. It was translated by The Sea Island Translation Team in cooperation with Wycliffe Bible Translators, and published by The American Bible Society.
Do you recognize this Bible verse? Cause God lob all de people een de wol sommuch dat e gii we e onliest Son. God sen we um so dat ebrybody wa bleebe pon um ain gwine dead. Dey gwine lib faebamo.
Yes, this is the Gullah translation of John 3:16 and it almost makes me weep, not only because its so lyrical and beautiful, but also because in my past I was fortunate enough to have known elderly African-Americans who spoke pure Gullah, and nothing but Gullah.
The Georgetown Semi-Weekly Times published its own version of Gullah on March 4, 1899. On the front page, under To the Editor of The Times, the following letter appeared.
I wood luk to ax you a siberlize queschun on the cow: De hog is expire frum de town reddy, en de helt expectir say him enter groine to leff a lettle pig grunt at you doa no mo: so dayfo nutten leff but de cow.
Well den ef de hog is counterfit on de cajun a him hab ee nose in ebry ting en da peruse yu nabor yaad back and forrud, en stroyed all de greans en tunup, en so fote, wus matter wid de cow?
Ent him is fa put way e can lick ee long tung ober de naber fench en car off you Sundy britches en underwise close, way you wife heng pun de line fa dry?
I ain blame de cow, mind yu, but I tink de mossa ob de anemil shud sponsibil fa de britches en de machiz box en de rule, way de cow eat in de pocket.
An a narrer ting, ef a man way hab a cow en doan nurrish um wid good fuil tel e eat up yu atickles frum hongry, ent dat way you call brutelty to cru animal en call fo a ditement?
I wish yu kin fix dis ting sum how or nudder, so I kin expound wid the torrities. Yose, Sam
Okay, Im no Gullah translator, but heres what I think the letter said.
I would like to ask you a serious (civilized?) question about the cow. The hog is ? from the town already, and the health inspector said he isnt going to let a little pig grunt at your door anymore. So, therefore, theres nothing left but the cow.
Well then, if the hog is ? on account of him having his nose in everything and he peruses your neighbors yard, backwards and forward, and destroyed all of the greens and turnips, and so forth, whats the matter with the cow?
Isnt he put away where he can lick his long tongue over the neighbors fence and carry off your Sunday britches and underwear clothes, the way your wife hangs them upon the line to dry?
I dont blame the cow, mind you, but I think the owner of the animal should be responsible for the britches and the match box and the ruler, which the cow ate in the pocket.
And another thing, if a man has a cow and doesnt nourish him with good food until he eats up your articles from hunger, isnt that what you call cruelty to animals and calls for an indictment?
I hope you can fix this thing somehow or another, so I can expound with the authorities. Yours, Sam
I dont know if this letter was real, or written by Josiah Doar, who was Editor of the newspaper. I should have asked two of our local Gullah speakers to help translate: Rev. Gloria Barr Ford (a columnist for this newspaper) and Brendon Barber (Georgetown City Council member).
To the Georgetown County Digital Library . . . thanks for the memories.

I doubt it will get very far.
Doesn't seem worth it to me to make $3
Sent from my iPad using ModMyi
I wouldn't mind if I got paid 90 dollars for an hour or two of work
I see the adult services industry licking their chops, right now...Apple too, since iPhone will now become standard issue in the oldest profession. lol
(btw, i don't think THESE jobs will go for $3)
This has been around for a year already, I've earned about $50 so far from doing multiple gigs. Its nice but ultimately, not worth it. I stopped using it.
Dang .....i just made quick money with my old , slow as death 3G...
I sold it for 160.00!!!!
Field Agent has already been doing this. They've gone after Walmart shoppers specifically and apparently they're killing it so it is a decent business for somebody.
I've been using "Field Agent" for about a year now, it's fantastic, you get a push notification whenever your in an area with a job going, 5 mins later you've made £5!
In total I've made £36, and I honestly haven't even noticed the time I've spent on this.
Anyone want £36?
I do!
WAIT!!! I like money !!!!!
If this spread to more places it would be booming.
If it were available in my area, I'd give it a try.
Oh, yes! Definitely worth a try. But I wouldn't expect too much.

Behind the Scenes of the Royal Caribbean Barbie Premium Experience!
Cody Phillips
Adventure Ocean Manager
Barbie Blog
I believe it was around a year ago that a fellow Adventure Ocean Manager messaged me to let me know that she was going to do a "Barbie Cruise." I imagined a sea of pink, Pantone 219c to be exact, and a ship full of excited young girls running around with their Barbie dolls. I giggled, just a little, and then had a moment of relief that she was the one tackling the project. Little did I know that one day I would be on the world's largest cruise ship playing my part, Ken doll in hand, in the Barbie Premium Experience.
