They have recruited 16 new players for their Super League campaign and they should have no real problems against a Wakefield side who will probably not reach the play-offs.Super League 2012 Fixtures:Round 1Fri 3rd Feb Leeds Rhinos v Hull KR 8:00pmWidnes Vikings v Wakefield Wildcats 8:00pmSat 4th Feb London Broncos v St Helens 3:00pmSalford City Reds v Castleford Tigers 5:45pmSun 5th Feb Bradford Bulls v Catalan Dragons 3:00pmHull FC v Warrington Wolves 3:00pmWigan Warriors v Huddersfield Giants 3:00pm Visit SkyBet Read our SkyBet review Claim a £20 free bet when you deposit just £5 with Sky Bet From Around the Site The Apprentice 2014 latest betting odds How to watch Bayern Munich v Borussia Dortmund live on Saturday (kick off 17:30 GMT) Newcastle United v Liverpool free bets and enhanced odds Manchester City v Manchester United free bets and enhanced odds Hockey fight ends with stunning single punch K.O [VIDEO] Betfair customer turns £10 into almost £11,000 after cashing out horse racing accumulator at perfect time facebook Twitter gPlus Send email Reddit More Reddit Su Link All Rugby League News Recent Announcements Articles Live streaming sport online - Monday, July 23Monday's live streaming sport offers its usual mix of rugby league, football and tennis....

Hi folks… there will NOT be a work party on this coming Saturday, October 18. We have an all-day rental that will be utilizing the whole building, and it would be impractical to build and paint a set, while another show is going on.

All of these locations (especially DQ, Safeway and Albertsons) will take the duration of the hour to walk and get food and come back.

1. The majority of schizophrenic patients who improved clinically, showed a significant change in their oral glucose tolerance, this change being towards the normal.2. In the occasional case, clinical improvement did occur without any significant change in the glucose tolerance.3. Those who did not improve or deteriorated clinically, showed no change in their abnormal tolerance or it became more abnormal.4. This change could not be attributed to the administration of insulin per se, nor entirely to the change in absorption of the glucose in the gastro-intestinal tract.5. The pre-treatment glucose tolerance curves in this series of schizophrenics, seem to show an abnormally prolonged period before the return to fasting levels.

This Week's Notes for October 19th
Join us for an Adult Education Trip to Historic Deerfield, MA, on Sat., Oct. 18th!
WELCOME TO WORSHIP AT CALVARY CHURCH, STONINGTON. We invite you to participate in all parts of our service, including the Holy Communion. We also invite you to explore the many ways you might become involved in the life of Calvary – we would love to have you join with us in serving God and growing in faith.
AFTER BOTH SERVICES ON SUNDAY, Calvary Nursery School will be selling the CNS Dutch Bulb Collection. Each $10 bag contains 2 Big Smile Tulips, 2 Narcissus Sailboats, and 5 Starry Night Ipheion bulbs. Plant your bag at home or buy a bag to donate to the church grounds so that more flowers can be enjoyed next spring and in subsequent years. Checks can be made out to CNS. Thank you very much for your support.
The ANGLICAN SINGERS will be singing a service of Choral Evensong today at 5:00 p.m. at St. James Episcopal Church, New London. Several of our Calvary Choir members sing with the Anglican Singers! Join them for the service and a reception immediately following.
COVENANT TO CARE: Thank you, Calvary Parishioners! In the usual Calvary style, we collected an overwhelming amount of items for the young man making a fresh start in life. His apartment in New London is well stocked now with kitchen items, linens, and even some new tables. Your donations will go a long way in making his new endeavor a success.
CALVARY NOTE CARDS: Prayer and Care will have the new Calvary variety packs and the watercolor painting of Calvary by Dick Wertz available for purchase on the following Sundays in the Parish Hall after both services: Oct. 19, 26, and Nov. 2. The Variety pack includes 10 different images of the Calvary campus and church and the water color by D. Wertz has 10 identical images of the church. The cost of each pack of ten is $10.00. Payment will be on the Honor System.
FROZEN ASSETS ARE RUNNING LOW! The Pastoral Prayer & Care Team at Calvary keeps on hand frozen meals to share with parishioners and others who have emergency needs, like returning home from a hospital stay. These are kept in the Parish Hall basement freezer and are called our FROZEN ASSETS! The frozen entrée and soup inventory is very low. Anyone wishing to contribute something can pick up containers and recipe suggestions if you need them in the armoire in the Parish Hall. Many of you have signed up for this ministry, but there is always room for more. Chicken casseroles, Eggplant Parmesan, lasagna, curried dishes, and all kinds of soup are always appreciated. Thanks, The Prayer and Care Team.
On Sat., November 1st, the Buildings & Grounds Committee will host a "GROUNDS CLEAN-UP AND LEAF RAKING PARTY". Festivities begin at 8:30 and are generally wrapped up by 10:30. Please join us – its BYOR – bring your own rake! Many thanks.
CALVARY ALTAR GUILD NEEDS YOU – The Altar Guild at Calvary is made up of a small group of men and women from our parish. Their main duty is to prepare and set the Lord's table each Sunday so the Holy Eucharist can take place. All is polished and pristine, as the altar is the center of church life, and this is the most important table we set each week. While serving in this ministry, we come to learn more about the mystery of the Eucharist and gain a deep reverence for the holy altar space. It is an honor to serve on the Altar Guild, and, if you think this ministry may be a way for you to serve God at Calvary, then please speak with Father Alfred, Margaret Victoria, or any member of the Altar Guild. We would love to have you join us. CALVARY FLOWER GUILD ALSO NEEDS YOU – The Flower Guild at Calvary is made up of a group of parishioners whose duty it is to prepare the flowers each Saturday to be set on the altar for Sunday services. Fresh flowers are the symbols of the resurrection, and their purpose is to add beauty to the sacred altar space. Although many of our Flower Guild members have been arranging flowers for years, one does not need to be a trained "flower arranger" to serve the Lord in this ministry. A vase filled with daisies pleases the Lord in its simplicity. So, if enhancing the beauty of the altar space with flowers might be a ministry for you, please speak with Father Alfred or Gill Perry. You will be very much welcomed.
ADULT CHRISTIAN EDUCATION: CALVARY FILM FESTIVAL! As part of this year's Adult Christian Education program, we are pleased to once again offer a variety of engaging films, to be shown in the Parish Hall, free of charge, on selected Tuesday evenings at 7:00 p.m. Our next film will be Children of Men: In this futuristic tale, humans have lost the ability to reproduce and face extinction. Things change when a single woman mysteriously becomes pregnant, prompting a conflicted government bureaucrat and his ex-wife to join forces to protect her. Join us on October 21st in the Parish Hall at 7:00 p.m.
LARGE PRINT HYMNALS & PRAYER BOOKS AND LARGE PRINT COPIES OF THE BULLETIN are also available in the back of the church. . LARGE PRINT COPIES OF FORWARD DAY BY DAY are now available in the pamphlet rack at the back of the church.
As a regular part of their practice and training cycle this year, THE TREBLE CHOIR WILL PRESENT A BRIEF CHORAL EVENSONG AT 6 P.M. ON THE SECOND THURSDAY OF EACH MONTH. You are cordially invited to come enjoy their music and this beautiful offering of praise and worship to God.
Spirituality Book Club continues into the fall with our new book, Learning to Walk in the Dark, by Barbara Brown Taylor. A New York Times Best seller and also recently featured on the cover of Time, Learning to Walk in the Dark is available on Amazon. We meet on Tuesdays at 3 p.m. in the Sacristy. Here is the blurb from the website:
From the New York Times bestselling author of An Altar in the World, Barbara Brown Taylor's Learning to Walk in the Dark provides a way to find spirituality in those times when we don't have all the answers. Taylor has become increasingly uncomfortable with our tendency to associate all that is good with lightness and all that is evil and dangerous with darkness. Doesn't God work in the nighttime as well? In Learning to Walk in the Dark, Taylor asks us to put aside our fears and anxieties and to explore all that God has to teach us "in the dark." Through darkness we find courage, we understand the world in new ways, and we feel God's presence around us, guiding us through things seen and unseen. Often, it is while we are in the dark that we grow the most.
WARM CENTER VOLUNTEEER APPRECIATION BREAKFAST: You are invited – staff and residents will prepare breakfast and serve you! Sat., Oct. 25th, from 9 to 10 a.m. at Anita's Kitchen, 54 Spruce St., Westerly. Please RSVP to Joy at 401-596-9276.
There are still many open dates to host COFFEE HOUR! Coffee Hour is a great opportunity for fellowship. Please join us after the 10:00 a.m. service for this time of sharing and getting to know each other. We are looking for volunteers to host a coffee hour. November 9, 16, 23, and 30 are still open for volunteers to sign up as well as Dec. 21 & 28. Coffee is provided. All that is required is set-up and some snacks. A sign-up sheet and take home instructions are located on the kitchen door in the Parish Hall or contact Evelynn Lyons at 860-535-3286 or email@example.com.
From THE PAWCATUCK NEIGHBORHOOD CENTER: The Holiday Food Drive has begun. PNC is in need of instant mashed potatoes, stuffing mix, rice, gravy (canned or in envelopes), boxed Macaroni & Cheese, canned green beans, canned corn, canned peas, canned fruit (any kind), cranberry sauce. Also needed – canned meat (Spam, Chef Boyardee, Stew), beans (baked, kidney, pinto (canned or dry), canned fruit, pasta & pasta sauce, peanut butter, jelly & jam, powdered milk, juice or juice concentrate. Many thanks for all you do. Vicki at the PNC.
IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO BE PHYSICALLY PRESENT AT WORSHIP, you can now listen to our second Sunday service from a distance. Here are directions: Participants should dial 1-800-689-9374 (toll free). Following the voice prompt, enter the conference pin number of 747523#.
Sundays 9 to 10 a.m. and Monday – Thursday 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

The room was so comfy and clean. I had a very peaceful sleep.
No complimentary breakfast.
My room(4096) did not have a good wireless Internet connection, so I had to wait to receive emails from my wife and co-workers for a couple of hours every time. I also think they should have a connector for ethernet and USB.

Hi my name is Ray Clifford, I am 59 years old. In September of this year (2014) my wife and I set off from Las Vegas to enjoy our weekend stay at the Hilton. On route we were caught in a 3/4 hour tail back as a result of a serious accident involving two trucks. As a result of this we were very late getting to San Diego and arriving in the darkness made it all the more difficult as we are from Ireland and had no clue where the Hotel was. At approximately 11.45pm I got a call from the Hotels receptionist looking for an update as to whether we were still coming or not. We told her the problems we were having finding the Hotel and the reason for our delay. This is when the Hilton Hotel great holiday kicked in. The lady stayed on the phone with me for about 40 minutes guiding me through the highways and by-ways until we arrived as we did safely. This was only the start of the Hiltons great hospitality. The room in the hotel was magnificent, the staff were very friendly, nothing seemed to much trouble for them to take the time to help and guide us through this Hotel and direct to local popular beaches etc.... The breakfast out by the pool was a lovely experience. Finally, I would like to add if you are in an age catchment of 35 and up this Hotel is a very pleasant way to relax, no perpetual thump thump music going on, just nice and laid back. Well done the Hilton.
Because we come from Ireland and do not, when we stay in any Hotel have to pay for parking, I was put out by that charge. If you must make a charge it should be only nominal, maybe €5 per night for short stay guests and €15 per week for people who would stay for a week or more.
Good location, close to beach.
Wifi in guest room is Not free!
Location, the outside patio, availability of late dining and dining staff
room did not have a view, room carpet old, room color too dark -room felt old but most especially wi-fi connection in the room was non existent. you had to be at the lobby to use wi fi connection on phone
We travel to La Jolla every year to watch our granddaughter, Megan, a soccer player for Cal Poly Pomona compete against UCSD. The hotel is located 3 blocks from the sports field and a short distance to the downtown areas of La Jolla, Del Mar and San Diego.
We celebrated a wedding anniversary and we received champagne and macaroons with a nice note. What a wonderful gesture.
Nothing to add here
Packing fees.
Proximity to Torrey Pines Golf Course. Friendly Staff. Good Swimming Pool
Blood stains on the sheets Wasteful room cleaning - the soap and towels were replaced every day, even though we followed the instructions on showing the staff how we didn't need new towels Had to pay for wireless internet - seriously? Had to pay for parking Design of the hotel is terrible - had to use 2 elevators to get from the garage to our hallway Room Service came at 8am and because we weren't up yet, they slipped a note under the door saying we would have to arrange for the room to be cleaned if we wanted it
The view of the golf course and or pool
How the view was advertised. You were offered a golf course view or a pool view. If you pick the pool view you will also get the same golf course view. Each patio is slightly angled to give you a small glimpse of the golf course. However the pool view is right down in front of you.
Location, pool , view
Stuff is not really friendly , some room need remodeling, they old
Nice view Clean rooms Nice Staff
Too many hidden fees that they don't notify you. $26 for parking. Too noisy on the hall ways.
The pool
Dirty outdoor area, uncomfortable bed.
terrace fires, pool and pool area and layout were lovely friendly barman
Happy hour beverages were limited, poor and unpopular, eg only 1 particular wine and a stout! The system for seating at breakfast was ridiculous.loads of people standing for up to 10/15 mins to be seated!tables should be ready and staff available to take them to table. Charging for parking was unreasonable due to the location ( eg not a city).
Perfect. Everything
We have to pay $25 for parking fee.
View was amazing, room was nice
Restaurant had limited hours, parking had no security...came out and someone had thrown cake all over our BMW.....since they charge $25 for parking I would have thought my vehicle would have been a little more secure.
Everything was good. Had no complaints about nothing
I like everything here
Pay for internet
The scenery and the golf course were idyillic. The staff especially the concierge were very welcoming & efficient in guiding us to our desired locations.
The hotel is too spread out. Our rooms were not facing the pool so it was an extremely long walk to & from our rooms daily. I was also disappointed that there were no laundry facilities. This is a major setback especially for families with young children. We had been vacationing in California for a month & nearly 90% of the hotels we stayed in had laundry facilities. I think the hotel management should review this issue seriously since the hotel is situated out of town.
All the staff here were friendly and helpful, but gave you privacy. I felt very welcome with staff giving advice when asked and being left alone to relax.
All good but long walk to beach but saying that ... the walk was pretty amazing and glad I did it. Not recommended for folks with young children
The pool was very quiet which was good. Great location to La Jolla.
They actually charged us for a bottle of water which we never used this must been a mistake on behalf of the cleaners who never stocked the room properly before out arrival then the next day the cleaner must assumed bottle drunk whenever it wasn't. Only minor but point to check your receipt

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Stoughton too much for Gushue to handle
Four-ender gives Manitoba 9-5 win
EDMONTON -- Brad Gushue threw it for all it was worth.
But when you're staring at six of your opponent's stones clustered in the vicinity of the four-foot, a lot can go wrong and not much can go right and the result, as it was on this occasion, is usually predictable -- disaster.
A terribly played eighth end by Newfoundland Wednesday night resulted in a four-ender for Manitoba, breaking open what had been a tense 5-5 contest and handing Manitoba a 9-5 victory in what was one of the most-anticipated games of the 2013 Tim Hortons Brier.
In a game that saw longtime former Gushue third Mark Nichols do battle against his former skip for the first time at the Brier as the new Manitoba lead, this one came down to Gushue having almost no shot when he went to throw his last in the eighth end -- a desperate Hail Mary at a pack of Manitoba rocks that Gushue needed to throw so hard he slipped onto his side halfway through his delivery and simply flung it.
The Gushue stone removed two of the Manitoba counters but there were still four counting when Stoughton threw his last, one rock later. Game over.
"It was only good if I made four or five of them go away," said Gushue. "Even a triple wasn't going to be good enough."
"Yeah, he was pretty hooped in that end," said Stoughton. "That's for sure."
Stoughton improved to 6-1 with the win over Newfoundland and heads into today's action alone in third place, behind Newfoundland (7-1) and Ontario's Glenn Howard, who at 7-0, is now the last remaining undefeated team in the field.
Howard kept his record intact Wednesday night with a 7-3 defeat of New Brunswick's James Grattan and now has a 17-game Brier winning streak that dates back to last year, when he won his last 10 games of this event to capture his fourth Brier championship.
"It's been a pretty good run. Hopefully we can keep that going," said Howard. "But it's completely independent. It's obviously a year later and we've obviously had a lot of games in between... But again, I can't say enough about how we're playing. I just love that my three guys are making everything in front of me. It just makes my life so much simpler.
"We're making all the right shots at the right time and limiting our mistakes."
Stoughton now has four round-robin games remaining -- two today and two tomorrow. He will play New Brunswick's Grattan (4-4) this afternoon and then Northern Ontario's Brad Jacobs (5-2) tonight. Stoughton then finishes on Friday with games against N.W.T.'s Jamie Koe (3-5) and a sad-sack winless B.C. team skipped by Andrew Bilesky (0-7).
With only one of those remaining opponents boasting a winning record, it would seem Stoughton has most of his heavy lifting now behind him, with the remainder of the week now focused on playoff positioning and attempting to qualify for Saturday's Page playoff 1 vs. 2 game.
Meanwhile, Alberta's Kevin Martin kept his team's slim playoff hopes alive last night with his second win in a row after a dreadful 1-4 start, an 8-3 shellacking of N.W.T.
At 3-4, Martin was asked if it's starting to feel like his team is back on track. Martin sounded skeptical.
"I don't know," he said. "It was a good game, we played well. But it's like I said yesterday, we'll come out here, win as many as we can, but obviously the four losses at the start isn't good -- and it might be too many, for that matter."
Howard, however, isn't yet sure we've seen the last of Martin.
"They're way too good a team to be playing the way they are," said Howard. "They will turn it around and they seem to be doing that already."

Locally we call it bangus, it's milkfish to you dear readers. It's considered our national fish. The Philippines is one of the best places to buy fresh bangus. There are a hundred ways to cook bangus. The best part of course would be the belly. It contains a healthy fat that is good for our health. We had this for lunch today, three slices of bangus belly. Bear with me, I am practicing on my macro shots on food. I don't seem to get it right, the focus is not always to my liking. What do you think of this?

It's Mango Smoothie

Last Sunday, a friend who came over for lunch brought a bagful of green and golden ripe carabao mangoes. We could not consume it in three days so I decided to make some smoothie drinks by simply adding a small can of evaporated milk, a few spoons of sugar and crushed iced. There you go, a sweet and refreshing glass of pure mango.
Most people say that the Philippines has the best sweet and delicious mangoes in the world and I agree. Summer is the best time that you'll enjoy this fruit. I am planning to make a mango jam out of the remaining ripe ones. You might not believe this but I love green mangoes more. I enjoy eating them fresh, sliced with the skin on and just sprinkled with a pinch of salt. Heaven!
I also baked chewy oatmeal raisin cookies using yellow raisin instead of the dark ones. Yellow raisins have more natural taste, not too sweet and not too dry. Preparing something in the kitchen need not be that elaborate. It's Holy Week and I suggested to my son that we do away with meat for the whole week and eat sea food and veggies instead.
Have a blessed and meaningful Holy Tuesday!
Health Is Wealth
Posted in health, healthy options, journeys, tagged a bit of myself, health, healthy options, journeys, life, quantum magnetic resonance analysis on April 3, 2014 | 7 Comments »
I knew that I won't go back to being 100% fit the first time I heard the word "cancer" more than four years ago. I have enough of hospital and doctor visits so I gave up visiting one. A month ago, I felt an excruciating pain on my left knee so I have to look for a doctor near our place and it was my first time to visit a government hospital. Consultation is free of course but there are charges for laboratory tests. Compared to private hospitals, they charge a bit lower than the normal rate. It turned out I have gout and I have to take medications for three months before I go back there again. Visiting doctors and hospitals always reminds me of the ordeal I went through when I was having chemotherapy.
Last Sunday, I underwent Quantum Resonance Magnetic Analysis. The QRMA is a rapid (it only takes a minute), accurate, non-invasive testing method. "The main analysis items are over 30, including cardiovascular and cerebrovascular condition, bone mineral density, trace elements, blood lead, rheumatism, lung and respiratory tract, nephropathy, blood sugar, stomach and intestines, liver and gall, cranial nerves, gynecology, prostate, bone disease, the trace elements of selenium, iron, zinc and calcium, etc." Suffice to say, I need to have a detox for three days and have to change my diet and eat more fruits and vegetables. I've been so careful with my diet since I had surgery for colon cancer so I've wondered why there are still so many health risks that need to be addressed. It is so frustrating to know that despite being so careful about it all, the results are not good. Lack of calcium intake when I was a kid contributed to the weak bones that affect me now. I don't drink milk and I never like its taste and mom used to say that I was completely breastfed as a baby. I could tolerate milk products though as long as it is not pure milk.
The things you do to stay healthy but then how sure are we that the things we eat nowadays are free from chemicals that ravage our bodies? Even fruits and vegetables are not safe unless they are locally grown in your own backyard.
Health is wealth so they say and I agree.
Photo Shoot With Kuchi
Posted in blogging, family life, food, healthy options, life, tagged family life, gardening, healthy options, life, our dog Kuchi, pets, photography on March 28, 2014 | 2 Comments »
Finally, we're done trimming the carabao grass. It's son's day off so we spent the late afternoon finishing the patch of grass that we left yesterday. It's summer here now and 4pm is still a bit too hot for gardening. Took time out to take a few shots of our lovable and cuddly dog Kuchi. She's been with us for more than two years now and she has definitely grown. She has learned to open our screen door at the back . She has grown a little longer with those short legs and fan-like tail to boot. She is so "makulit", always inching her way to get inside and sleep under our dining table. Lately, this is her favorite spot, a small area in our garden.
I am saving on space so I compressed the photos. A friend is giving us a new male puppy, a mixed breed of Japanese Spitz like this one. Dogs have been constant companions for us since we moved here nineteen years ago. I call our backyard garden "pet sematary", it is where our previous dogs are buried. Remember Stephen King's book of the same title?
We did our marketing this morning by going back to Pasig market, an hour trip from our place when there is traffic. As usual, I enjoyed the haggling, I am happy with even just a peso discount on fruits and vegetables. It's been some sort of ritual for Josef and me to eat breakfast at the nearby Jollibee outlet before going to the market. He would always order hotdog with egg and local sausage (longganisa) for me either with two hot cups of coffee or hot chocolate drink. We would go back there to explore the garden center we saw this morning. I would love to buy a pot each of citronella, rosemary or marigolds. Citronella is the most common natural ingredient used in formulating mosquito repellents.
We're having fun at making simple kitchen recipes again. This morning, Josef prepared lumpiang shanghai made of different veggies which we bought earlier. Then we recycled the left-over spaghetti sauce my making pizza using sliced bread.
Our Tootsie roll sandwich is made of flattened sliced bread, with ham and cheese inside and rolled in bread crumbs before frying. It is best served hot.
One can always experiment on these simple and easy to prepare snacks without making a dent on one's pockets.
Or you can boil fresh corn or sweet potatoes and they will give you enough fiber and they are healthy.
So much for this, have to catch up on reading Archetype.
Enjoying The Day With The Kids
Posted in entertainment, family, family life, health, healthy options, life, thoughts, tagged family life, food, guilty pleasures, healthy options, Hilot massage therapy, life, thoughts on January 23, 2014 | 4 Comments »
It seldom happens now because they are always busy at work, yesterday though, Josef and his girlfriend Jovy took me to Mont Albo in Timog Avenue in Quezon City, a spa and massage facility that offers several massage therapies including body scrub. The three of us availed of the Hilot, a Filipino healing method practiced for thousands of years. It is a total body massage characterized by slow deliberate strokes to remove blockages by using virgin coconut oil. It was a very relaxing one hour therapy. The three of us also availed of the additional Bentosa, a therapy used by placing suction glass cups at one's back to remove energy blockages. Josef practically went to sleep when the therapist did that because we could hear his gentle snore while waiting for ten minutes before they remove the suction glasses and resume massage of the arms and legs. I used to have foot massages before (another way to unwind and relax) in the nearby beauty salon but it has become quite expensive so I only go there when I need to rest and enjoy the quiet times.
We had an early dinner at Papa John's in Tomas Morato before going home. I told Josef that we used to live in that area back when he wasn't born yet. The quiet neighborhood in the early eighties has now become a busy avenue of several high-end restaurants and eateries. It was my first time to sample Papa John's cheese and bacon pizza and its crispy onion rings, better than what we usually order at Burgoo's. Such a lovely day to spend it with them. I wish that next time we do this, my daughter and son-in-law and of course my darling baby Nate could join us.
The weather here for the past two or three weeks was a good 20 degrees Celsius. It is colder at night and windy in the early morning and late noon. The coldest morning so far in Metro Manila was at 17.5 degrees Celsius early Saturday while Baguio City was at its coldest at 8.1 degrees Celsius last Sunday. Most days it's cloudy, a perfect time to catch up on gardening and do a little weeding too. It's a lovely time too to read. I've done six books since the start of the year and I planned to read around 50 books till the end of December. I really hope I could do it since I neglected reading last year, read a measly 20 titles, I guess.
I am listening to Richard Clayderman and Ernesto Cortazar while writing this blog. It's a lovely day :)

Last Christmas, my daughter gifted me with a lovely glass infusion bottle and told me I can use it every day for whatever veggies and fruits I would like to use. I've been using it ever since.
The first time I encountered the healthy benefits of water infusion was during our visit at Regina RICA in Tanay, Rizal two years ago. The Dominican sisters who manage the place had a big jug of water infused with some herbs which tasted so refreshing. I forgot what it was but that introduced me to an alternative way to drink water instead of just pouring it in a glass. I haven't actually researched on the health benefits of water infusion but some of my friends say it is healthy. I found this site which featured lemon as its ingredient. Interesting read, lemon is used not just to flavor your drinks but it adds more benefits. I've tried combining celery stalks with cucumber and it was great. For some of us who are conscious of our health (not getting any younger) and would love to try an alternative way to stay well, this is it. You can use fresh herbs or fruits like lemon, oranges, lime, mint and other fruits available in the market.

Another Lovely Surprise

Two days ago, Josef and I did our twice a month marketing at our wet market here in Cainta. And look what I found inside the stall of my "suki" (favorite vendor), some fresh produce that are old-time favorites. I seldom see these in other stalls in the area, something as fresh as they look.
I love zucchini but they are not regular fares in our household because I seldom see them in the wet market and the ones they sell in supermarkets no longer look fresh. Do you eat fiddlehead fern? We call it locally as paku or pako. And boy, it really tastes good made into salad. Those new slim and long green ones are called French beans,my suki said, and they are now locally grown in the uplands in Baguio. How nice, can't wait to taste this with a few drops of oyster sauce.

I have several pictures that Nissa shared, some of them taken here at home when they had an overnight stay two weeks ago.

Two weeks ago they stayed here for long weekend. That was the time that typhoon Mario brought heavy rains and flooded Metro Manila again.

Problem with putting the background image in html[edit]
I am failed to upload the background image in html plse give me some exmaple to this problem and some theroy and also tell the html s best books name —Preceding unsigned comment added by Vikas royal king (discuss • contribs) 09:03, 26 October 2012
Mars Book 1[edit]
I am having problems saving PDF file. I get invalid annotation error. Using Windows 7, IE 9.0.12 64Bit.
Page Popups needed - is there something in place already[edit]
I'm looking for a template 'capability' similar to the Wikipedia footer navbar templates that instead of expanding a template, will allow examples in sub-pages of the work to be shown or not by user control. See one possible case: uses now and subpages like Trainz/Versions/TS10-Ver Table).
- Since the magic is in the called page, I guess I meant a template family footer, header and call templates.
- This will give the advantage of visually grouping the exposition and explanations and yet allow the example to be opened under or over the text.
- Like the linked page, many will be screenfuls in length, so incorporating them directly in the page is contra-indicated, while the prose will certainly include snippets of closer discussion points in pre & /pre tags.
- Ideally, the 'calling template' would allow some boilerplate default message incorporating a direct page link and pipetrick. Hmmmmm, something like:
"Click open to view {{{pre|an}}} {{{text|example}}}{{{post|}}}, or see the full page at {{{1}}}.
should do it.
If this theoretical ideal template just manifested as a line continuation with ([show])
or the flipside when opened ([hide]) each displayed in the same 'anchor point' in the text, that would work well as a general flexible implementation, and allow users to nest it inside any box template of their choice, such as {{example}}.
- It can of course be ghosted in a HTML container, preferentially a table element so it behaves well with images and a possible series of right margin navbox templates in certain topic groups our 'divisions' (Think of a large TAB organized 3-ring binder, that's the way the Trainz Wikibook new organization is like, with sub-TOC pages like these two...) Kinds and containers pages would benefit from such cross-linking.
- It also strikes me as a good feature to show the ([hide]) under the expanded text page as well; allowing as it does the reader to just keep going from the bottom.
I don't know enough about the Common.css and Common.js differences between here and the en.wikipedia to write something from scratch using code snippets from those navbar templates, but hope you all have something in place or someone is willing to work with me that has a stronger java script and css knowledge than mine (a VERY low bar! <BSEG>).
So HELP! Best regards, FrankB 16:32, 2 September 2014 (UTC)
Secondary issue[edit]
That table page linked above is NOT clearing properly for references shown in {{reflist}}. I'm seeing the first ref tagged manifest off to the table right when viewing the page on the subpage. Further, the refs aren't following the section AND displaying where I expected. Anybody help me figure out what's happening there? Note the transcluding page (1st link) will have multiple pages based on that prototype. That will ease editing chores and allow for a better presentation, but this direct viewed behavior troubles me.
(Be merciful Masters, my HTML is challenged, and this is one case when I wish I'd the time to add a better CS base knowledge to my skills. TIME, is there ever enough of it?) Thanks // Frank and FrankB 16:32, 2 September 2014 (UTC)
- @Fabartus: Unfortunately, there's not a lot of action here at all. I saw your post but didn't know how to help. You may want to contact an active user directly or ask for admin assistance (although I have asked for admins on the admin request page to perform some simple moves and it hasn't happened). —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 16:07, 15 September 2014 (UTC)
- I don't understand the question. I'm probably capable of figuring out the technical side of how to do something, but that's predicated on my knowing what one is trying to do. :-S --Pi zero (discuss • contribs) 18:22, 15 September 2014 (UTC)
- Well getting a template set to achieve collapsing and noncollapsing an 'included example page' content was the horse I rode in on, and an answer on that is what I sought. Thanks for responding to the bump. I figured out the secondary issue myself. A nesting issue with a table not being terminated properly, iirc. Thanks for the time! // FrankB 18:40, 15 September 2014 (UTC)

My daughter is 4 and my son is 2. I'd very love to just grant all their request to listen to tv- We have no TV in the house so we don't have cable, we have netflix and a bunch of child's movies, on our laptop. So I'm not worried on what they listen... just how much, and how. My son sits for a half an hour and then goes off to do something else, that's very okay with me. My daugther, on the ohter hand, would stay all day in front of the laptop. Constantly asking me to put that part of that movie, then that part, then this other movie, put not that part. Moaning that this movie is too long, but still wanting to listen, but no, put that part instead.
It's very like she's tired of listening but can't stop.
So when that happens, I propose activities she likes. Sometimes she says yes, sometimes she doesn't want and keep requesting parts of movies. Sometimes I just get tired of her requests and close the computer and ask her to find something else to do.
There are days we don't go out -I'm in my first trimester afterall, I have less energy- and it really shows on her general attitude if she's listening more tv. She'd yell more, throw things, be more agressive, steal thing to her brother for the fun of hearing him yell at her...very unpleasing to everyone! A calm request for drawing can turn into a battle for which will have that princess coloring page and the blue crayon, while usually my kids play together beautifully. I propose time-in when this happens, but it does not seems enough.
Having to limit her viewing would be weird to me, but maybe she's just a little too young to really know when it's time to stop.

Papa is in med school. Our first language is French.
Honestly the tv is one of the things I'm really torn on.
I'd actually like to not have one in the house.
But my husband is very into gaming etc and it's one area I've had to compromise on.
We aren't hooked up to broadcasting tv/cable, so the kids only have access to dvd's etc which makes me feel a bit better about it.
I have found when I tried to control the screen time they almost become obsessed with it, but if I leave them to make their own choices after a few days they don't even seem to be bothered or watch too much of it.
Some days are better than others of course
My DH is a big gamer as well. We only have Netflix and he games after boys are in bed. We went through a period where DS1 was watching WAY TOO MUCH and his behavior deteriorated etc. So, we have a rule, during the week no TV period. On Sat or Sunday (not both) you can watch 30 - 1 hr (or 1 kid movie) that's it. Then it's off the rest of the week. It's made a huge difference for us....we don't bend on it at all....I'm mean tho
Loving wife to DH mama to DS1 3/13/09 , DS2 4/20/11 and expecting baby #3 in January!
Professional and attempting to while
I think one of the major misconceptions about unschooling is that parents don't or shouldn't guide their young children and help them recognize when it's time to sleep, eat, or change their activity. Many young children (and even adults) have trouble recognizing their bodies' needs and need guidance. It was an eye opener to me to realize my ds didn't realize when he was getting hungry. He wouldn't ask for food. He'd just start exhibiting behavioral problems.
TV was never a struggle for my ds because he never liked passive entertainment. He does like the TV on for background noise but he didn't like it at all until he was 3. Then, something on Sesame St freaked him out and we put a blanket on the TV for a few more months. I know I wouldn't have wanted him watching much TV as a toddler. I'm a bit uncomfortable seeing really tiny kids so totally wide eyed and absorbed by the TV. I was visiting someone once and the baby was parked in front of the TV and I could not get him to engage with me. He just leaned back and forth because I was blocking his view. My own ds as an infant would stare at the TV for a few minutes and then burst into tears.
Anyway, once my ds started watching TV, I never regulated how much it was on though I turn it off when other kids come over so they will be willing to play with ds instead of "just sit and stare" (my ds's words). And I didn't want him watching certain shows at certain ages.
I do limit television.
I'm not a fan of banning anything, and in today's world it just seems unrealistic to me. That said I hate commercials and most of the new media that's available for kids today so I pick and choose what and when the kids can watch. In the nice weather we barely turn the television on at all because we are OUTSIDE! In the barn, in the fields, in the yard etc...the kids don't ask for it, and I don't bother offering it. In the winter we tend to have "movie afternoons" when it's gray and freezing outside and I'm totally okay with this -- it's cozy and I think there *are* some wonderful kids movies I want my babes to see.
When I was pregnant with DS the TV went on anytime I felt sick and pooped. And I reminded myself that once the second trimester came I would feel better and it would pass and DD and I would get back into the swing of adventuring and playing together. And it did!
We also had a period where DD was begging for TV and I finally caved because I wanted to see what would happen if I let her have the television on whenever she wanted. So I did just that - and I went about my usual day baking, doing things, setting up activities..and pretty soon she was bored and came in to help.
I have this love/hate relationship with it
We don't own a tv but my kids get about two hours a day with the ipad. They watch Netflix or PBS Kids or play games or listen to books on it.
I *have* to have a break in the middle of the day where they aren't talking to me. My kids are very intense. My older daughter is extremely verbally precocious and our life is kind of isolated. I don't control how they use it beyond "don't break it" and they can't buy new things. My daughter self-selects out of age inappropriate things very quickly. They know which shows are for them and when they see a new one they want to try they ask me first. It's kind of weird how much they ask for permission. I don't think I was like that. But then again my parents told me no for everything. Ha.
I feel guilt around it but at the same time... my husband is a software engineer. He wants his kids playing with technology. *shrug*
My advice may not be appropriate for you. That's ok. You are just fine how you are and I am the right kind of me.
There is plenty of evidence that even "benign" children's shows can cause aggressive behavior in kids. The rapid changes of movement trigger stress hormones in the primitive parts of our brains. We are wired to notice and respond to changes (for hunting and to avoid being hunted). So keep in mind that while they sit all calm and zoned out, their body chemistry is becoming a stressed-out soup! You can minimize this effect by choosing shows that are less frenetic in pace - Scholastic has some nice narrated stories on DVD that have minimal perspective changes. Also by allowing for a release of that stress response with some vigorous outdoor play following TV time.
TV is a necessary evil in our house. I have tried and tried to go 100% TV free and *I* just can't do it. We can go almost all week without it but I totally identify with the PP about really needing time when its just quiet. I too have very demanding kids and I am quite sensitive and can get overwhelmed easily by lots of noise. I adore how quiet my kids are when they are "plugged in" on DVD's or iPods, but I nearly always pay for it afterwards with a tantrum (theirs, not mine LOL) or at least a somewhat irritable grumpy kid.

I hate to disagree but I do, I'm afraid. I honestly have never seen any research of a scientific calibre that I'm personally happy with that would support this (and listen, my kids went through Waldorf kindergarten, I have seen endless references to such studies and checked them out where I could). I think we are surrounded by rapid changes of movement all the time-try watching a 2 year old! I'd also expect that if someone's body chemistry was turning them into a stress soup, they'd feel something, a rush of adrenalin or whatever.
I think the reason to avoid TV, to me, is much more simple and much more prosaic. Sitting still for a period of time staring at a light box just doesn't seem like an awesome activity for a young child. I don't even think its necessarily that habit forming, its just that a lot of the time I think they'd be better doing other things. But my kids went through Waldorf kindy and, honestly, I've never had anyone satisfactorally explain to me the functional difference between that little puppet show they all do and watching the tv-aside from the fact that watching a puppet show is obviously more aspirational ("oh yes my kid watches a puppet show EVERY DAY")
I am very interested to know your viewpoint since you seem very balanced about this topic. So for example, this article has several of the points I agree with but have not checked out any references. http://www.whitedot.org/issue/iss_story.asp?slug=ADHD%20Toddlers
I want to hear your criticism of it. And please I am not here to start a war. I truly want to hear your constructive criticism of the article( stuff like baby barims stops firing neurons when watching media.)
born on April 3 '10
We don't allow screen time between 9am and 4pm all week. They aren't allowed to watch any commercial channels. They're allowed to watch iplayer (BBC) or the DVDs we have and that's it. They have to fit their computer time in during the early morning or evening too for now. If they need the computer for work during the day, they have to do it when an adult can sit with them.
They have never argued to watch any other tv - there's plenty for them on the BBC and they are as annoyed by adverts as I am. I didn't have a TV when I met my husband and would rather not have one but they like it so I'm okay with it but I don't know how to work it.
My daughter has the same personality, OP, and I can see my son going in that direction too. She would sit and watch movies for a looooong time if let-that is a big reason I first moved the TV out of the main living area and then got rid of cable, it was just too easy to pop on a show and end up watching for hours. She also gets kind of miserable if she watches too much-short tempered, bored all the time, just hard to deal with. Also begs and begs and begs for more, whereas we can often go days without watching tv once she weans off of it with no problem.
I do limit shows, though not in any particular way, like saying between certain hours or for a certain number of hours. Just kind of, okay, that's enough, after this show we're going to go do something else or today we have lots of other things to do so we are not going to watch anything. There really is a personality change if they have been watching too much tv (for them, it probably doesn't compare to the "average" number) and I feel like it is okay to limit something that is harmful to the general family dynamic. So maybe think of it like that, you still have to make decisions that are best for the family and if too much tv is causing fighting and general crankiness, something needs to change, even if she is too young to come to that conclusion herself yet.
I should add that I am probably not "technically" an unschooler-but we are very relaxed homeschoolers :) I started to reply before I realized it was in the unschooling forum and figured I would weigh in anyway since I had faced similar issues.
Thanks everyone for your input.
I tried going the unlimited way; She actually gets bored now and close the computer by herlsef and ask me to do things with her!

 Seminar Talk - New Feature Selection Algorithm for Gene Expression Data Analysis

 Abstract: Classification of gene expression data plays a significant role in prediction and diagnosis of diseases. Gene expression data has a special characteristic that there is a mismatch in gene dimension as opposed to
 sample dimension. All genes do not contribute for efficient classification of samples. A robust feature selection algorithm is required to identify the important genes which help in classifying the samples efficiently. In order to select informative genes (features) based on relevance and redundancy characteristics, many feature selection algorithms have been introduced in the past. Most of the earlier algorithms require computationally expensive search strategy to find an optimal feature subset. Existing feature selection methods are also sensitive to the evaluation measures.

 The talk will focus on a new feature selection technique based on statistically defined effective range of features termed as Effective Range based Gene Selection. The basic principle behind this technique is that higher weight is given to the feature that discriminates the classes clearly. Performance evaluation of the proposed approach on well-known gene expression datasets using popular classifiers viz. Naive Bayes Classifier and Support Vector Machine demonstrate the effectiveness of the approach. The proposed feature selection algorithm not only helps in ranking the genes and also in identifying the most relevant genes responsible for diseases like leukemia, colon tumor.

The Greendale School District today issued a letter to parents asking community members to join a conversation about safe schools and anti-bullying efforts.
"The Greendale Schools and our community hold a shared belief that a child needs to feel safe physically, mentally and emotionally in order to perform to the best of his or her ability," the letter, signed by Superintendent John Tharp and School Board President Joe Crappito states, going on to reference the recent bomb scare at the high school. "...This incident provides us with a clear opportunity to take a closer look at school climate and the student experience in our schools."
To that end, the district is forming a task force aimed at combating problem behavior and bullying, as well as rewarding positive choices and actions. Topics will be discussed at the Parents as Partners Conference on Oct. 17.
