Robin van Persie is receiving treatment in his native Netherlands as Manchester United manager David Moyes looks to give opportunities to Danny Welbeck and Javier Hernandez.
With Wayne Rooney out of Saturday's clash at Newcastle United, the Reds will be missing both leading goalscorers on Tyneside but van Persie is on the mend and should return before the end of the season.
Although the Dutchman will hope to be a key figure for his country in the World Cup finals, Moyes has stressed that will not be a factor in delaying any comeback from a knee problem.
"Robin is over in Holland having treatment," revealed Moyes. "We get a daily update on how Robin is and he's getting better. Time is healing it as well and he's doing a lot of rehabilitation work and recovery back there.
"He's coming on, as far as we know. I still see it as four to six weeks from when he got the injury. That was what we were told from the doctors and there's not been any reason why it would be any more time or less time. But we'll monitor that.
"My hope was we'd get him back before the end of the season for sure. I think the big thing is we will be medically led. If he's not right, we certainly wouldn't bring him back too soon. We'll be totally led by the medical team and Robin. He's a good judge of how his body feels and how we've tried to deal with Robin all through the season is we have given him the understanding that


text: NBC News' Sharpton: Criticism Of Bloomberg Anti-Semitic Print article Send a Tip by Larry O'Connor 25 Mar 2013 post a comment Monday's "Morning Joe" on MSNBC opened up a brand new line of attack on American's trying to retain their 2nd amendment rights. We've already grown accustomed to being called "racist" for opposing the president on gun control, tax and spend, big government, Obamacare, you name it... but now we learn, thanks to the NBC News morning show, that Americans criticizing New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg for his virulent opposition to individual gun ownership is rooted in, wait for it: Anti-Semitism! That's right... you may think you oppose Michael Bloomberg's extreme position on gun ownership based on constitutional principles or on an intellectual basis or based on sound reasoning rooted in the ideals of self-defense and individual freedom... but you're wrong. You really oppose Bloomberg because you hate Jews! And how brilliant is it for NBC News to use their resident expert on anti-Semitism, Al Sharpton, to make the case. After all, with his famous comments about "diamond merchants, and the riots he inspired in Crown Heights and Harlem against Jews, he truly is an expert on the subject. Sharpton knows Jew haters when he sees them.

They're considering a mandatory helmet law where I live - not just for under 18 but to be riding a bike you must have a helmet. Some people are against it saying helmets don't actually make a difference - which I guess is true. The only fatality I've covered was a cyclist who'd been struck wearing a helmet, but why not wear one? I'm definitely in favour of this law. Just wondering what everybody thinks.

When it comes to headphones, it's all about whose head they're sitting on. Last summer at the Olympic Games in London, plenty of companies shelled out millions to be official sponsors, but one that didn't bother was likely the biggest winner. Beats by Dre headphones kept getting airtime on international TV as athlete after athlete seemed to be sporting them.
These days, the business started by one of the world's most influential—and richest—rappers, Dr. Dre. is commanding top billing among audio equipment providers. Dre is sitting extra pretty after HTC bought a 51 percent stake in the company in 2011 to the tune of a reported $100 million. (HTC later sold back 25 percent to Dre and co-founder Jimmy Iovine for $125 million.)Continue reading...

Created by Droga5, the spot captures Swift in her natural element, penning lyrics whenever inspiration strikes—with a Diet Coke in hand, of course.Continue reading...

You want to make Reddit sensation Grumpy Cat really grumpy? Try using her name on a product without prior authorization.
The owners of the cat that took social media by storm five months ago have filed for a trademark for the name "Grumpy Cat" as well as the cat's likeness. After all, their little kitty, whose name is actually Tardar Sauce, has since gotten her own website, Facebook fan page, retail space, an appearance on the Today Show and her own commercial for Friskies cat food, according to SmallBizTrends.com.Continue reading...

After a short teaser spot two weeks ago, the Cadillac ad for China with the brand's new spokesman Brad PItt is here. It's terrible in general, but it's even worse for the Chinese market. Cadillac knows white is the color of funerals in China, right?
In the ad, Pitt (or maybe a CGI Pitt, it's hard to tell) cruises around San Francisco, pensively doing "creative" person things. Maybe the actor is on his way to Chinatown since he's banned from entering China itself.He swipes some digital displays while never saying a word. Couldn't GM have asked him to speak a little Mandarin? Chinese love it when celebrities humble themselves by mangling some Chinese. It's even been rumored that Pitt and Angelina Jolie are learning a little Mandarin. Not that Cadillac appears to "speak Mandarin" any better. It's latest attempt to grow its flagging sales in China may hint at a deeper problem with its fundamental understanding of the market.Continue reading...

Soccer fans in China were recently dealt a nasty blow when news came out of just how rigged the system has been there. Close to 60 Chinese soccer officials, including two former heads of the Chinese Football Association and the nation's most-respected referee were recently banned from the sport for anywhere from five years to life for fixing games.
In addition to the corruption scandal, Chinese football has also just lost two of its biggest stars—the Ivory Coast's Didier Drogba and France's Nicolas Anelka—long before soccer fans in the country expected them to leave.
What's the most-populated nation in the world to do? Hire the world's most well-known soccer player under the age of 40 to help shift its image, of course. The 37-year-old David Beckham, who is now on the roster of Paris Saint-Germain Football Club in France's Ligue 1, has signed on to be the brand ambassador for Chinese football, the BBC reports.Continue reading...

"It never hurts when people are talking about you relative to a guy whose every statement is picked up by a microphone."
That was the assessment of Brian Cupps, Brand Initiatives Director at Li-Ning, of the recent news that Dwayne Wade's new Li-Ning-inspired nickname "Way of Wade" (WoW) was called "corny" by MVP teammate LeBron James. "It's more tongue in cheek than anything," said Cupps. "It doesn't hurt."Li-Ning's fledgling partnership with Wade has certainly not hurt either brand. Though hard numbers are yet to come, Cupps said anecdotally that "all of our indicators, be it social media or future sales, are up based on Wade." Cupps added, "Particularly in the US, where we had little to no real consumer following, we have a very strong pull right now and demand for our products because of Wade. Now we have to feed that demand."Feeding the demand is going to be a huge challenge for Li-Ning for a number of reasons. For starters, it's a Chinese brand facing a mountain of existing consumer prejudice against China. Worse, negative China news outside of Li-Ning's control impacts this effort. Continue reading...

When Gold Medal skier Lindsey Vonn's uplifting Facebook post from rehab carried the Instagram/Twitter hashtag #givesyouwings, it was just the latest example of how injury has become another opportunity for athlete spokespeople to service their brands.
Vonn posted the positive message alongside a picture of herself working out her abs as she is recovering from knee surgery after a brutal injury. The picture included her Red Bull water bottle. (She later tweeted a graphic picture of her post-op knee). Yes, Red Bull is a Lindsey Vonn sponsor, but the fact that the four-time World Cup champion might not strap on skis for another six to eight months isn't stopping her endorsement duties. In fact, as many brands are learning, there may be as much to gain from a sponsor's thrill of victory as there is from his or her agony of defeat.Continue reading...

Samsung announces official apology, vows compensation for former workers who have fallen illUpdated: 2014-05-15 03:45:59 KST
After years of denials, Samsung Electronics has offered an official apology to its former workers who are suffering from or have died from diseases allegedly brought on by their working environments.
The tech giant's CEO, Kwon Oh-hyun made the announcement on Wednesday, saying that the company was sincerely sorry for having neglected the pain of the victims and their families, and for not having settled the issue earlier.
The company promised proper compensation and said it would abide by the decisions made by an independent third-party panel of mediators.
Samsung Electronics also vowed to check the safety of its semiconductor production facilities, and to come up with concrete measures to prevent the recurrence of such incidents.
The world's leading semiconductor manufacturer also vowed to withdraw itself from participation in all ongoing trials regarding cancer compensation claims.
The overall dispute came to light in 2007 when Hwang Yu-mi, a former employee at a Samsung semiconductor production plant, died of leukemia at the age of 23.
Similar cases followed, with employees dying of rare blood-related diseases.
Family members attribute their exposure to chemicals at factories as the cause, however Samsung had denied the claim, and resisted offering an apology.
While Samsung continues to deny a direct correlation between the diseases and the working environment at its plants, Wednesday's apology represents a change in attitude.
The apology came about a month after Sim Sang-jeung, a progressive party lawmaker, called on Samsung and the government to apologize to the more than two-hundred workers who developed rare cancers or died after working at semiconductor plants.

Frank T. Martinez is an emerging self-taught artist who first appeared on the scene in a + Gallery solo back in 2004. At the time, his paintings were abstract and sort of roughly done; his principal compositional device was circular motifs created by transfers off the painted rims of jars or cans. Circles play an even bigger role in the current Complex Conformity, Martinez's second solo at +, but they're more thoroughly fleshed out and done more expertly. In fact, the paintings in this show are so much better than the ones in Martinez's earlier outing that they represent a true breakthrough for the thirty-something artist.
The compositions have a retro quality that recalls art deco from the '20s and '30s, and the color schemes do, too. In the orange, pale blue, black and gray "Untitled 2 -- 1" (above), clusters of concentric circles -- some of them ghostly images that have been painted out -- are set against bars and stripes. The piece reminds me of a deluxe lady's compact or a cigarette case out of an old movie. For that matter, so do the rest of the paintings, which are closely related in appearance and palette.
Martinez explains that he was inspired by topographical maps with all those elevation lines, and I can definitely see that relationship. Considerably less apparent, however, is the psychological content he attempts to convey, with the painted-out portions referring to his private, partly hidden self, while the colored circles represent his more visible public persona.
Although Complex Conformity is the featured attraction at +, gallery owner Ivar Zeile has also put together a group show called Rewind 2005, using last year's exhibition schedule as a guide to selecting the artists included. It's an interesting idea, and conceptually not unlike the Zeile-produced video A Day in the Life of the Cordell Taylor Gallery, which was a speeded-up retrospective of the shows at +'s predecessor. In truth, though, Rewind doesn't held together very well as an exhibit.
Complex Conformity and Rewind 2005 both run through February 24 at + Gallery (2350 Lawrence Street, 303-296-0927).

I must admit, when I was in high school I was more likely to read the sports page of the Dallas Morning News than my english assignments. But, for some reason, there was one book that I couldn't put down: The Picture of Dorian Gray.
To this day I am still not sure what the draw was, but something still seems unsettled. Dorian Gray is what people call a "hedonist," but what does that really mean? Who doesn't like pleasure? Given the opportunity to experience more pleasure, who would turn that down?

And check out this glowing review from Impose:
"After being lucky enough to indulge in an early listen of You Are Plural's new album, Rabbit Rabbit, due out December 1, I can say with assurance that the indie-pop scene is in for an upheaval. Hailing from Olympia, WA, You Are Plural consists of drummer Chad Austinson, and the multi-talented Ephriam Nagler and Jen Grady, both of whom have voices of angels; Nagler's trenchant and lucid vocals sound uncannily similar to those of Sufjan Stevens. Pair that with the instrumental coupling of a Wurlitzer and cello and we see a door opened into a new corner of modern day pop music. Tracks like "The Best is Yet To Come," show off their capacity for song writing as the trio modestly sits back while sneakily entrancing us with complex melodies through minimalistic arrangements. Yet to get a full feel for their large range of attack, "We Are Cold," features huge emcompassing classical strings that play off the fragile tone of the Wurlizter, showcasing the emotion put into this album…" (Michael Giodano).

Top 10 things one must always show a person of interest
It's been crazy, 2014. And it's only been 4 months. Welp! 8 more months of crazy!
In bullets:
Yesterday's # of steps: 7000/5000 (I forgot the actual count and I deleted it)
Whenever I'm in an awful mood (which, to be honest, is practically everyday), I make up a mental list of things that make me happy just to try to turn things around.
So in an attempt to no longer be mental (haha pun intended):
I didn't make resolutions for this year. I know myself well enough to admit that I will end up not doing anything (so goodbye diet and target weight!). But I did make the next best thing: a to-do list. It's not much different from a resolution but resolutions usually involve stopping a bad thing and doing something good instead (like stop eating so much cake, dammit!). A to-do list, on the other hand, is a list of things I want to be able to do this year (like say buy a car). At least it's not as daunting as a resolutions list since it's a list of things I actually really want to do and look forward to ticking off my list. Did that make sense?
So here are my Top 10 things to do for 2013 (I actually have more than 10 in my list but I'll just share the ones that I'm really hoping to achieve this year):
1. Go to New York – I'm doing this. This year. I don't know exactly when but definitely maybe a little later in the year after I've managed to save enough money and after my visa has been approved (presumably after my 3rd try). I'm hoping to spend New Year's Eve there (and maybe get my Zac Efron NYE kiss after the ball has dropped at Time Square?) with friends and bottles of wine. :) But if it can't be for New Year's, anytime during Fall will be cool too. New York is New York and I really want to be part of the city that never sleeps.
2. Go to San Francisco – And visit the SF campus of the school I'm hoping to go to, to get an MBA or a Master's degree in International Marketing from. They have a a rotation program (where you get to spend a couple of months in their other campuses) is something that sets them apart from other schools. Also in my to-do list here is to pimp myself at Silicon Valley. :)
3. Go to Vietnam - This is halfway done actually. I already have the tickets. I'm supposed to be going with my mom and my sister but change of plans on my sister's part will probably see this trip with me going by myself. But come hell or high-water I'm going to Vietnam in June.
4. Go to the beach at least twice – and I'm hoping I can kill two birds with one stone and add "go on a road trip at least twice" too since there are a few beaches just a few hours outside of Manila.
5. Buy a car – Nothing fancy like an SUV but hopefully nothing cheesy like Honda City or Toyota Vios. I'm saving up for a Mazda 2 or a Suzuki Jimny. Something cute and quirky (like me? lol).
6. Save Up and Invest - I say this everytime but I really need to do it this time especially if I want to get my ass to New York or go back to school. Hult isn't cheap. Even with a scholarship, I will still need over a million pesos to be able to go (living expenses included). So I need to be smart about my money. Save up. UITF or stocks. Anything that's going to give me better returns than just a normal savings account. And yeah, stop spending all of my money on alcohol and books (and sometimes shoes).
7. Go back to Muay Thai – I signed up for Muay Thai Classes late last year (one year membership) in an effort to release stress and anger haha. I loved Taekwondo when I did it in Highschool and College so I thought this would be the next best thing. It was. Problem is, I stopped going. So no endorphins for a very long time. So I should go back. If only to not let the money I spent when I signed up go to waste.
8. Study – I need to do something else aside from work and drink. Brain atrophy being a nerd's worst enemy. So I've signed up for a couple of Coursera courses (like Calculus –because I hated Math back when I was in school and I'm determined to make it my bestfriend, some business-related courses, and a couple of humanties-related ones) and I've vowed to finish them. I've also been thinking of learning a 3rd language just because I believe it's good for one's soul (my French and Portuguese have gone from bad to disastrous and I used to love them back in college) and/or re-learning to play the Piano (because our Piano at home is going to waste).
9. Go to the doctor – Because I'm nearing my 30s (huhu) and I feel the symptoms of aging coming at me. Hard!
10. Clean out my closet – Well the goal is to have a leaner, cleaner, appropriate for my age and career wardrobe. But none of that drabby office-wear, thank you very much. I've been thinking of selling or donating some of the things that I haven't used in over a year but still keep, hoping that I will once again be able to fit into them. Plus I've always wanted to have a monochromatic wardrobe (everything in shades of grey, white, and black. ok, maybe with some dark blues and olive drab green too) and now would be the perfect time to have one. Cleaning out my closet is always an excuse to shop. :)
(I would add more travel to dos, like go to Myanmar and Cambodia, but I have to be realistic about my budget too)
2012 was quite a challenge. 2013 will be good. I know it.
Coz we are living in a material world and I am a material girl!
a PanAm merchandise, any Dr. Who merchandise, ONA Brooklyn camera bag, Hogwarts alumni shirt, tickets to see Cirque du Soleil's LOVE, a new pair of optical frames, Marshall headphones, a nice watch (this brown and orange multi-strap LaMer watch is nice), clothes, Calvin and Hobbes Box Set CDGxConverse sneakers, trip to New York.
and some links to old wish lists
so… yey!
So I'm going to Japan this November. 6 full days of seeing, eating, and drinking the things that Japan has to offer. 6 full days and yet, it's obviously not enough. So that's a crisis. How do I fit Japan in just 6 frigging days? IMPOSSIBLE!
So making the itinerary is quite the challenge now. But since I'm the queen of itineraries, Impossible is nothing (hello Adidas TM). I haven't made the daily itinerary yet, and to be honest I don't plan on doing that. I just want to make a general guide for places we should be at on a specific day like be at Kyoto on Days 2 and 3. I want to get lost in Japan so specific plans are not an option for me right now (but I'm pretty sure my OC-ness will take over and I'll end up making a complete guide for myself and for my friend who's going with me). But what I do have at the moment are the top (insert random number here because I don't know how many I'll end up blogging about) things I want to see or do in Japan.
My friend and I will be staying in Osaka so my plans mostly revolve around the area or involve having to travel to and from said place. So here we go.
1. Bullet Train to Tokyo! - it's on every Japan guide's must do list, that should pretty much explain why this should be done at least once, right? It's the first thing that comes to mind when you think of Japan, really. Ok, maybe after anime, hentai and Maria Ozawa, for some. It's always on time! And why wouldn't it be? It travels at the speed of 186mph! I've first read about Japan's bullet trains when I was 5 years old and discovered my sister's old "Science Discovery" books. And every year I've dreamt about Japan, I've dreamt about being inside this baby and feeling like I'm in 2046! Because in my head, super speed = futuristic!
It's pretty expensive though. At least for our 3rd world currency. Osaka to Tokyo will cost you Y8,510 (that's Php 4,681) one way and the shortest route will take (at least according to Hyperdia! ) is about 3 hours long. And have you seen how they look like? They look like they came from outer space! Voltron style.
But if the (awesome awesome – they really should make this part of its name) bullet train (and Tokyo is an experience in itself) is too expensive for your budget, then you can always take the bus. Budget buses are available and will only cost you about Y6,000 (around Php 3,300) for the premium seats. Hey it's a 12 hour trip for the over night buses so it's best to take the comfortable seats, right?
2. Since we're now in Tokyo (in my dreams), might as well go to Tsukiji Fish Market! I've always had this fascination with going to wet markets in my travels. It smells bad and the fishy scent sticks to my hair but I don't care. Markets always make for good pictures, and the hustle and bustle always make for a good adrenaline rush. Bonus points if there merchants are trying to out shout the other merchants to get people to buy their wares.
And what makes Tsukiji Market fantastic, you ask? According to Time, it's the largest and busiest fish market. At 5am there are live Tuna Auctions! Have a sushi breakfast here and you will get without a doubt the freshest catch. And also this is where Jiro (see Jiro Dreams of Sushi), buys his fish! If it's good enough for Jiro, the 85 year old Sushi master, it's good enough for me.
3. Shibuya Crossing – it's probably one of the most famous scenes in Japan. The THRONG of people crossing this intersection, all in a rush, with the bright lights around and above them. I just want to take a picture of this and say that I've seen this in real life.
4. Nijo-jo. It's a castle in Kyoto built by the first shogun of the Tokugawa shogunate, Tokugawa Ieyasu. He ordered all of the feudal lords to contribute money to have this castle built. Talk about bullying. Anyway, he was very paranoid about assassins (because he was quite an asshole) so he had the corridors fitted with "nightingale floors". Floors were made to squeak/sing like birds when somebody stepped on it.
One of the reasons why I'm stoked to see this castle (aside from the fact that it's a castle! a castle built by a shogun bully!) is because one of my favorite books of all time had a character fashioned after Tokugawa Ieyasu. They named him Iida Sadamu and he was the biggest asshole in the book (well Shigeru was quite the manipulative jerk but he's lovable and quite handsome so I forgave him) and he also built a castle with nightingale floors to protect him from would be assassins. The book was full of intrigue, war, ninjas, feudal lords, suffering, drama and a lot of action hence it being my one of favorites. It's a pretty fantastic book. I think I've read it more than 30 times since I got it as a birthday present from Trina (the friend I'm going with to Japan).
So to see a nightingale floor with my own 2 eyes, hell yeah! I will not miss it for the world.
5. Gion district is also in Kyoto. It's a well preserved and well known geisha district in Japan. It's a district that still has ochayas (tea houses) where patrons are entertained by the geishas or geikos (as they would prefer to be called). To this day, geikos can still be seen walking around the district in full outfit (make up and all) getting to and from their appointments, I guess.
To be honest, a geiko sighting is all I care about. I find them fascinating. Trained in the art of entertaining, music, dance, etc. And the elaborate costumes they have to put on every time, their hair, their make-up! ALL THAT EFFORT!
6. Watch a Sumo Wrestling Match – take your pick in watching a match in Tokyo, Osaka, Fukuoka, Aichi throughout the year. We'll be in Osaka, November so we won't get to see the match there. Fukuoka has matches in November but Fukuoka is nearly 10 hours away from Osaka by bus!
Sumo wrestling is more than just 2 fat guys in a circle trying to push the other one out. It's a way of life really. Sumo wrestlers are required to live in a training facility called stables where all of the aspects of their daily lives are dictated by tradition. The grand champion is called a Yokozuna. Do you remember this big guy (although he wasn't really a sumo wrestler but he can be one, don't you think?)?
I really want to watch a match. I mean, I'm already going to be in Japan during a Sumo tournament, so might as well right? But getting to Fukuoka is no joke!
You can also get there by bus:
So fuck, right? But I'd give away my left kidney to be able to watch a match.
7. Daytrip to Shirakawa-Go. Historic villages that are part of UNESCO's World Heritage sites. That alone should be enough to get anybody's blood boiling. Actually, I know nothing about this place. Just that it's a UNESCO World Heritage site and that the pictures I've seen are terribly pretty. And I want to go! Plus, the name Shirakawa sounds so haunting for me. Like an old family that used to be so rich, powerful but was reduced to nothing.
But like just all of the out of Osaka sites I want to see (except maybe for Kyoto), this place is far!
The only route I know is Osaka-Nagoya-Shirakawago (I haven't researched extensively enough about this). And I've only considered the train because it's the fastest way to get around and if you just want to go on a day trip, you need all the time you can save.
Osaka ->Nagoya
8. Mt. Fuji – I'd like you to point me towards the direction of a person who says he/she doesn't want to see this nearly-perfectly shaped snow-capped volcano and I'll slap that person's face. HELLO! Why would anybody not want to see this beauty? I'd climb it if I thought I'd be able to survive the ascent. But just to see it, maybe get to the lowest stop (is that how you call it mountain climbing people?) and that'll be enough for me.
Climbing dates are between July to August normally and since I'm going in November, climbing this summit is a no for me. But I'm looking for maybe a place I can get a good view of this baby, get some awesome shots and "emo" the day away (with a bottle of sake would be nice).
9. Okinawa – I'll let this picture of Mr. Miyagi teaching Daniel-san the ways of the Karate speak for itself.
10. Hiroshima Peace Park – the park is located in what once was the city's busiest commercial and residential district so I can only imagine how emotional the place can be for visitors. The war was crazy and both sides thought they were in the right side. People fought for freedom, beliefs, ownership and for a lot of other reasons I can't even begin to fathom – right or wrong people died. Most of them innocent people who wanted nothing to do with the fight or people who blindly followed what they were being told. I could write a whole essay on this topic but I'm not going to do that in this post. But for sure, I want to see this place and pay my respects to the people who fell victim to the bad side of technology, ambition and misguided beliefs.
11. Himeji-jo – it is said to be the most magnificent castle in Japan (and it's also the largest). Not just beautiful or biggest or formidable… it's MAGNIFICENT. It's in Hyogo prefecture, considered to be one of Japan's premiere castle and is one of the country's first Unesco Heritage Site.
I don't know much about this castle except for it's white exterior and that has been seen in several films I've seen like Akira Kurosawa's Ran and a James Bond movie my dad made me watch when I was a kid.
12. Fushimi Inari Shrine – this one's just in Kyoto so it's pretty easy to get to from Osaka. Actually the only thing I want to see in this place is the torii lined foot path leading to the inner shrine. I don't think there's anything else special about this shrine except for the torii but it's seated at the foot of Mt. Inari so there are several trails leading up to a couple more shrines. But again, I'm here for the torii. Just because they're absolutely beautiful!
This isn't even half of what I want to see/experience in Japan. But this is definitely in my top 10 (or 12). And then there's food to talk about, and shops, and amusement parks. Oh geezus, I don't think I'll ever end with my list of things that one must do when one is in Japan. And I haven't even been there yet. Imagine what I'll be like after my trip.
I've been in love with Japan and I've romanticized their culture, their history and nearly everything for as long as I can remember. I blame it on the books, my Asian history teacher, the movies, and Little Tokyo in Makati Cinema Square for this love affair with Japan.
And then there's my love affair with New York but that's for another post :)
4 months til Japan! My bones can't wait!
Lunch time, and I'm on a blogging break (because lunch breaks are expensive). It's très hot outside, perfect beach weather, I would say. Yet once again, I'm being a responsible tax payer, stuck here at work with a million things to do on my list.
So here's today's top 10. No particular category, just 10 things that I like at the moment.
oh and as a bonus:
Lourd de Veyra's graduation speech for UP Mass Comm Batch 2012. – in which he says "Dapat may maglabas ng ganyang slogan sa advertising, "BAWAL MAGING TANGA." Nagtatampisaw tayo sa baha ng impormasyon." and that pretty much says everything there is to say to today's youth.
I'm supposed to be on a shopping fast but I ended up in SM North Edsa with my sister this morning, where the department stores are abundant with clothes and shoes and bags and accessories so cheap, I almost cried. So the shopping fast ended and I came home with a bag of clothes and an empty wallet. So much for saving up for "Autumn in Japan".
But I had to pat myself on the back for not losing all control and buying everything in sight. Needless to say, I only bought the things I needed… (or at least I think I need). But I left behind a lot of things I still want to purchase and that's what's today's top 10 is for. So, I like pretty things. I can't help it.
1. Summer Dress – it's been so hot these days I'd kill for some chiffon, cotton, jersey dresses that fleet and float with the wind. Something light and airy and will not stick to my ass.
from Ruche
from Madewell
2. Functional Tote Bag - i've been looking for the perfect tote bag these days. Leather, preferably, so it's a bit more on the dressy side rather than on the shopping bag side. Longchamps are so passé. And the good ones are all expensive. So imagine my delight when I the perfect one in SM (too bad I didn't get to take a picture). But I'm still 800php poor so I wasn't able to buy it :( In the meantime, here are some pegs.
3. Long Drapey Skirts – maxi skirts are comfortable. I have one. In black. But black isn't really the best color to wear when the sun is high and you're roasting like a pig. At least roast in style, right? So bring them in yellow, peach, mint green, blue – even better when they come with pockets!
4. Scalloped/Printed Shorts – because denim shorts are too heavy and hot to wear. Of course there are pekpek shorts, but why would I want to display my poonanie for the world to see?
5. Kimono Cover Ups – for the days when all I want to wear is a tank top but my man arms are to embarrassing too diplay, a cover up that's light and breezy will do the trick.
6. Moccasins – my sister bought me Minnetonka Moccasins for Christmas but she bought them a size too big so I haven't gotten around to wearing them. Plus in grey. I would really want them in brown (and in my size too).
7. Butter London Nail Polish in Artful Dodger – just because teal is more summery than puta red and black.
8. Lip Balm/Stain – my lips are dry and they've become dark from the chapping and the chewing (yes I chew my own lips when I'm bored) so I think I need to do them a little bit of favor, yeah?
9. Anti-aging shit – because this heat (and the stress) is giving me wrinkles and drying my skin like crazy. I've been guzzling water like a fish, and lathering on the lotion and the moisturizers but they don't seem to be enough. Actually I think it's because of the alcohol but I can't quit that, can I?
10. Body Mist – not too sweet nor flowery. just the right kind of "just got out of the shower" smell.
And there you have it. My top 10 must have things (as of April 23, 2012) that I can't afford to purchase. Anybody want to sponsor me?
Note to self. Must install Photoshop again so I can make proper collages. This list thing and just inserting images here and there is such an eye sore. And my oc-heart can't take it anymore.
I've been working for this nifty, little online store for the past 2 years. I am/was employee #1 actually. Been with it while it was still just a small project of a digital advertising agency until it exploded into something else and became an independent company. In a matter of 2 years, we've expanded the business, tripled the revenue, and quadrupled the work force. August 2010 we were just 2 people (my boss and I) and now, we're 80 people. And it's been a crazy ride. A lot of heart/head ache, victory dances, tears, fist pumps, and shouting matches –like I said crazy, but not the least bit disappointing.
It's a start up. So needless to say, policies, process, rules, structure, and other things you might expect from an established corporate -y environment do not exist in a start up business. And for some people, it's amazing. But for most people it can be quite the hell you don't want to be in. And everything can be summed up in just one word: STRESS!
So I've made up my own list of things that you need to know about working in a start-up. Maybe they'll help you survive. Maybe they'll make you want to stay away. But either way, these are my start-up realities and learnings.
Start ups aren't for everybody. And that's ok. You have to be crazy to want to be in a start up environment, I think. :)

New sink drain leaking, not sure why.
First timer here trying to learn on the fly how to install a new drain assembly. Just installed a new sink, tested the drain assembly before attaching the sink to cabinet without any problems, only to have it leak an hour later after it was installed. The water leaks down slowly through the thread of the drain pipe, one drop at at time. Assuming this was because of a bad silicone sealent I took the whole thing apart again. Only now I see that sealant has no bearing on the leak, since the overflow pours into that same space. So my question is what are my options for fixing this leak. The rubber flange was as far as I can tell perfectly flush against the sink opening and on the threads with the plastic washer and nut very tightly( as tight a fit as i could do by hand). This is a PVC drain. Thanks for your help.
Should add that the sink manufacturer says no plumber's putty because it will stain the finish. There is no washer underneath the flange, and I have not added any teflon tape or sealent to the rubber gasket.
You say that the nut is (only) hand-tight? I would use a wrench and carefully tighten it a bit more.
I am right then in thinking the silicone under the flange isn't my problem? I will try the leave it loose enough to leak, tighten until it stops leaking strategy tonight. Should I also teflon tape te PVC threads?
The threads have nothing to do with stopping a leak. They simply put two faces together. If you get some tape in between the two faces that are supposed to make the joint water tight, that in itself could cause a leak.
Teflon tape and pipe dope are used on plumbing fittings that have tapered threads. Silicone is a DIY'er plumbers putty and should really not be used for anything but caulking as far as I am concerned.
I'm guessing that what you are installing is a lav pop-up assy.
First this is not a great place to use a plastic drain assy. and I would suggest getting a chrome plated brass one.
As for the leak...
The leak you see is coming down the threads under the rubber washer (Mack Washer) Apply teflon paste to the threads in the area where the rubber washer lands when tightened. The leak will be gone!
I never use silicone to install a drain on any sink.
Sta-Put Ultra is a non-staining plumbers putty safe for all sinks and surfaces.
So teflon paste on the threads at the juncture between mack washer and sink. Any on the washer itself, or the sink itself? Thanks for your help, will hopefully get to try it out tonight.
I do not see how teflon tape on the threads will do anything. yes on the plumbers putty. Check out these two videos and the podcast.
Episode #52 - Two Handy Faucet Installations
The non-staining plumbers putty under the flange, the washer and proper tightening of the nut will be all that's required.
THanks, this might sound like a stupid question, but I have looked at the instructions a dozen times and it looks like the larger side of the mack washer is against the nut, not the sink, but in these videos it looks the opposite. Is that What I"m doing wrong?
In the video they are putting the mack washer on upside down...
Also I said Teflon Paste not tape on the threads where the mack washer lands...
I am so tired of the internet and every idiot out there being able to make a video of how not to do something! Then people assume incorrectly that it is a gospel fact...:rofl:

Warhorse was our temporary band name for the weekend. Set ourselves towards our destination knowing very well we were more like the indie rock version of Spinal Tap than anything else. We visited Olympia, Portland, and Seaside. We weren't Boo'd at all because we weren't even yielding instruments this trip. It was merely a topic of conversation and a remembrance to what it means and what it is. Here are some brief highlights of the drive down.
Stink Steak.
Car Farts.
Dancing Hippy Lady.
Wanting to Spend Quarters but resisting.
Floating Worlds.
The Garage in Tacoma- Always a feast for the eyes.
Wanting to go to Voodoo Donuts but not wanting to wait 3 hours for a tasty pastry.
A 15yr-old GooGooDolls impersonator with face paint.( we wanted to punch him in the balls but he was already singing too high. )
A tall cowboy with long hair petitioning for Legal Marijuana.
Miles and Milo Stickies everywhere.
A search for Wi-Fi connections leading the the results: Lucifer/Muff Mansion.
A few vw buses- I'm pretty sure everyone was sick of my lust.
More Trees.
Some mo water.
We listened to some S.Carey. Soundgarden. Jawbreaker.Land of Talk. Oh Brother, and some other shit I can't remember right now and all successfully refused to spend money in the record stores- which is a remarkable feat if you ask me.
I bought a toy bus. Duh.
I think Kevin was the only one that bought a book at Powells Books. Which is more maze than book store. I should have bought this though.
There's probably a lot more to say about this venture but the photographs are more telling of the feel of it all. Theres a second part to this that will be up sometime soon.
Thanks for coming out Steve/Kevin. Enjoy the photos.

Pianist/storyteller Mona Golabek's kitchen talents lie largely in the realm of breakfast foods.
"I make a mean omelet," said Golabek. Away from the breakfast arena, roast chicken is also a favorite.
Golabek is currently starring in "The Pianist of Willesden Lane," through Sept. 1 at Chicago's Royal George Theatre. FYI: (312) 988-9000. The production, adapted and directed by Hershey Felder is based on Golabek's and Lee Cohen's book "The Children of Willesden Lane." The show, set in Vienna and London, is about Golabek's mother Lisa Jura, a noted pianist and author.
When creating omelets, Golabek said she likes to use a variety of ingredients.
"I choose whatever I have in the refrigerator," she said, adding she's also a fan of Blue Cheese and salmon so they often make appearances in the egg dish.
Golabek's parents were both from Europe - her mother from Vienna and her father from Poland - so she grew up eating specialties such as stuffed peppers and Wienerschnitzel.
The pianist said she tends to include more fish in her diet these days and doesn't eat red meat anymore.
"I eat a lot of vegetables and fruits and a lot of fish and legumes," Golabek said.
For Golabek, it's been a joy to have been in the Windy City for the past few months.
"I've had the most wonderful experience of my life performing in Chicago," she said.
The following recipe is from Golabek.
My "Chopin" Omelet
Eggs, whatever amount you desire
Smoked Salmon
Blue Cheese
Lemon pepper
DIRECTIONS: In a bowl, beat the eggs, and stir in as little or as much as you prefer of the arugula, smoked salmon, blue cheese, onions, and lemon pepper. In a small skillet coated with cooking spray over medium heat, cook the egg mixture about 3 minutes, until partially set. Flip with a spatula, and continue cooking 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce heat to low, and continue cooking 2 to 3 minutes, or to desired doneness.

Late night trip to Starbucks with Justin after Barbie and Matt's wedding! We looked hot. The bartender's name was Raul. I'm sure he thought we were lushes. I was a little surprised that there was a Filipino wedding scheduled the same night as a Pacquiao fight. There were oh-so many children at the wedding. One was wearing a skeleton costume. We named some of the guests: Boots, Mama Boots, Green Shirt, and Bondage. The cupcakes were for the children only. Ageists! I refrained from the electric slide and the cupid shuffle (or did not dance because no one would dance with me, sad panda). There were birds flying about during the ceremony (Justin: What kind of Little Mermaid shit is that?). We sat at Table 8. I was a little sad that I had to remove my makeup at the end of the night. Shoot, I so pretty.
(photo from Justin's phone. MAH TELEPHONE!)

One more to go…
One more to go…
What is this end of the world business? I will be supremely pissed if I don't survive my freshman year of college.
I'm looking at my classes and I'm trying to figure out if it is possible for me to do my double major in art conservation and art history with a minor in art (without doing winter sessions.) It's like a giant puzzle with pieces that can overlap to make it possible, but it's just giving me a headache. I need to get this out of my head until I'm done with finals. TWO MORE AND THEN IM DONE!!
What I should be doing right now:
What I am doing right now:
So the year is almost over! im so excited!
Right when school ends I'm going back to Chicago to stay with friends and take a well deserved break from work. Then, I might get an internship in Ohio (where my mom now lives) and hopefully a job. I also made the decision to actually do art over the summer, something I have really missed. I have been so busy this year, especially this semester. I haven' had any time to actually make any art or do anything that I don't consider work. Although I'll be busy this summer, it'll be a good kind of busy. Sadly I can't stay in Chicago for the summer (I feel it unfair to my friends to couch hop and mooch off of them for 3 months), I'm going to spend a lot of time on buses going in between the two. Seeing my friends will be worth the 6 hour drive!
Exactly 2 more weeks left!!
Lots of work to do…
1 research paper
1 presentation
1 final project
3 finals
Tons of reading
and happily only 23 more days left of the semester!!

Ashley might seem a little shy, but when he gets a boy like Ross to play with he really shows how he can make a boy cum hard, more than once! The boys are kissing and sucking, swapping their dicks as they strip and really get to work, but when Ross gets that long uncut cock in his arse things really kick into high-gear! Ashley knows how to fuck a hot bottom, and with Ross splashing cum out involuntarily, then wanking out more too, it's no wonder Ashley drenches him in semen to finish things off!

Hung Zak Delivers A Load
Zak is a real exhibitionist, and pretty shameless when it comes to sex, He's been on camera before, but this is his first time with us, and we're glad to have him. We find out a little about the Liverpool lad before he reveals his impressive uncut cock, a 9" length of dick that's soon hard in his wanking hand. It's a great performance, one for all the fans of big dicked boys!

Did you know that you can diagnose sickness via online means? This is one of the latest trends and one that has gained sturdy grounds for the last couple of years. The good thing about diagnosing sickness online is that it comes with a great deal of benefits. This is because you can get literally everything that you require from the internet.
It is important to note that the internet has a great deal of information that people use. One among the many categories of information found in the internet is medical (try mayo clinic online). A lot of doctors and other medical practitioners have established their websites where patients can surf for information with regards to their ailments. This means that you will only require keying in certain specifications on how you are feeling and get respective answers in a flash.
Here are some of the benefits of diagnosing sickness online:
It is important to note that health consultation and diagnosis is very expensive. In fact, the charges that come forth with some diagnosis are the core reason why most people avoid it. One thing you will like about online sickness diagnosis is that the overall cost will be remarkably reduced.
It is important to note that some of the information you will find online with regard to certain diagnosis is free of charge. Some specialists offer to provide medical answers to surfers in attempt to draw them to real health checkup. With such specialists, you will be saved the hustle of paying for consultation and pay for treatment only.
A Lot Information
Like earlier stated, the internet is a home of a lot of information which can be used in enlightening people with certain medical problems. Currently, there are thousands of medical websites where you can get information with regard to your ailments. In case you feel that a certain website provides shallow information, then you can always opt for another site and get what you want. A lot of options are at your disposal online.

NpimeICAME Journal No.23It is my objective then to concentrate specifically on idioms with negativepolarity and to examine them in close detail from both a semantic and a syntac-tic perspective.In earlier research on negation, I pointed out the existence of afairly large number of NPIDs as defined above, that is, expressions that arealways construed in the negative form.This means that their positive counter-parts are either very rarely used or do not seem to fulfill their communicativepurpose.
This is the case, for example, with example [1]:[1]Butter wouldn't melt in his mouth.According to the system of polarity, [1] is undoubtedly negative; it is in fact aclear instance of sentence or clause negation, because the scope of negationextends over the whole clause and meets all the syntactic requirements to beconsidered as such (Klima 1964).In addition to that, the meaning conveyed isalso negative.Its transformation to the positive (? Butter would melt in hismouth) is grammatically possible
no rules are broken
but is never used likethat, at least in general standard English.Apparently, the existence of NPIDs is not exclusive to English but commonto some other languages, such as Spanish, Galician, French, German, Portu-guese, Italian and so on (Price 1962; George 1970; Gaatone 1971; Bernini andRamat 1992).However, this does not mean that perfect equivalents may befound across different languages.
In fact, some NPIDs may pose serious prob-lems for translation.Consider, for example, [2]: [2]It's no use crying over spilt milk.The literal equivalent in Spanish, No vale la pena llorar sobre leche derramada,may convey the general idea expressed in the English structure, but the commu-nicative value and force are missing.In standard Spanish nobody would saythat.The structure would have to be replaced by expressions such as A lohecho, pecho or Agua pasada no mueve molino, which do not always shownegative polarity.The number of NPIDs in both English and Spanish is relatively quite high ifcompared with the number of idiomatic constructions existing in both lan-guages; it constitutes about five per cent of the total according to my estimates.Savaiano and Winget (1991) list in their glossary of Spanish idioms about 2,000instances.Ninety-three of them are NPIDs; this is equivalent to 4.65 per cent.Cowie, MacKin and McCaig (1983) include a total of 6,600 English idioms.400were found to show negative polarity, that is, six per cent of the total.Similarfigures are detected in both Snchez-Benedito (1977) and Seidl and McCordieNegative polarity idioms in Modern English(1978).It is important to mention, however, that the majority of idioms mayshow both positive and negative polarity:[3a]It's raining cats and dogs.[3b]It's not raining cats and dogs.[4a]Peter beat about the bush the other day.[4b]Peter didn't beat about the bush the other day.In spite of this, it is true that some idiomatic expressions show only positivepolarity, that is, they are positive polarity idioms (PPIDs) in contrast to thealready defined NPIDs:[5a]I could kick myself.[5b]* I couldn't kick myself.[6a]He has a way with children.[6b]* He hasn't a way with children.In some cases, the distinction between NPIDs and PPIDs is not clear-cut; that is,there is sometimes no correspondence between the syntactic structure of the idi-omatic construction and the meaning expressed by it:[7]There is nothing to it.[8]Don't say that you're going for a walk in this wretched weather![9]I couldn't agree more.[10]Don't tell me they are not home yet!Examples [7]
[10] are syntactically negative, but the meaning implied isclearly positive.In fact, [7] and [8] are similar to intensifying affirmatives.
Theopposite case, that is, idiomatic forms which are syntactically positive althoughsemantically negative, can also be found, but they seem to be fewer in number:[11]It's too good to be true.[12]It all turned out very badly.2 The studyFor this paper, a dataset of 550 entries of NPIDs was compiled.Although myintention at the very beginning was to come up with a complete and exhaustiveglossary of all the NPIDs existing in modern English, I soon realised that it wasICAME Journal No.23going to prove a very difficult and time-consuming task.So it was deemedadvisable to restrict this preliminary analysis of NPIDs only to a highly repre-sentative sample.
The expressions analysed in the survey were selected from general and spe-cialized dictionaries, Cambridge Dictionary (CAMD), Cambridge Word Selec-tor (CAMWS), Collins Cobuild English Dictionary (CCD), Collins CobuildDictionary of Idioms (CCDI), Collins English-Spanish Dictionary (CESD),Larousse Dictionary (LA), Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English(LDCE), Oxford Dictionary of Current Idiomatic English (ODCIE), Partridge'sDictionary of Slang and Unconventional English (DSUE) and The Penguin Dic-tionary of English Idioms (PDEI), as well as from several phrase and grammarbooks (Wood 1964, 1977; Snchez-Benedito 1977; Seidl and McMordie 1978;Savaiano and Winget 1991; Apperson 1993).These data sources can be consid-ered as the most relevant and up-dated in the existing literature; they containinnumerable idiomatic expressions.Thus, each of the entries listed in theseworks was first studied manually.
Once the NPIDs were singled out and com-piled, a data-base was devised that contained all the key features criterial fortheir study and classification.These properties can be stated as follows:Source.Here the dictionary, or any of the other reference works from whichthe NPID entry had been extracted, was stated.Type of negation expressed: clause or constituent negation.
Within clausenegation, a further distinction was made, when possible, between not nega-tion and no negation instances.Syntactic pattern/structure.This was represented by categories such as NP,VP, AdjP, AdvP, Clause (henceforth, cl.), infinitive (henceforth, inf

BT problem: Win7~cell phone-remote control doesn't work
Hello, I have a problem with connecting my SE K700i cell phone with Windows 7 notebook via bluetooth. I have paired them, file transfer is available, the problem is remote control (HID profile) - when trying to connect either desktop, presenter, kmplayer or any other, it always shows "Bluetooth connection failed. Retry?" I do not know what to do with that, with Vista it worked properly, the driver is the same, so what is the problem? Would be happy, if you could help me.
edit: the problem is in Windows - remote control does not work neither with another cell phone. It has Bluetooth Stack for Windows by Toshiba.

|31 Oct 2009
Thx, I have already solved that - In BT settings an option of creating HID was hidden, it offered just dial up networking.

Hi, I'm having the same problem here, also with Toshiba's Bluetooth Stack. The funny thing is that I've already encountered this problem once, and had solved it I just can't seem to remember how I did it actually. All I remember is that I changed something about HID somewhere, but now I simply can't find it. Could you tell me where exactly the option is?
Thanks in advance
