Hike Islands Philippines
Popular Mountain for Hiking
Mount Daguldol, Batangas
Its proximity to Manila, a golf course-like campsite on the summit and beach at the foot of the mountain makes Mount Daguldol one of the country's most popular mountaineering destinations. If you're a beachy person but want a taste of mountaineering adventure, this is for you. The trail is gentle and lined with rest stops, friendly locals, soft drinks, halo-halo and buko refreshments. Standing at 670 meters tall, it boasts of a stream and waterfalls where visitors can cool off. Its summit provides a view of Batangas Strait, the high mountains of Mindoro Island and to whet your appetite, for a swim the next day, the beautiful and pristine beach.
How to get there: Fly to Manila then take a bus to Lipa City, Batangas. From there, hire a jeepney for Hugom, San Juan , Batangas.
Philippines Cuisine History and Influences
During the pre-Hispanic era in the Philippines, the preferred Austronesian methods for food preparation were boiling, steaming and roasting. The ingredients for common dishes were obtained from locally raised livestock. These ranged from kalabaw (water buffaloes), baka (cows), manok (chickens) and baboy (pigs) to various kinds of fish and seafood. More details at Philippines Cuisine History and Influences

Pictures of a Festival.
For me, the Charleston Festival is about people connecting with people at a special place via books and the stories they hold. Authors, readers, actors, artists, staff and volunteers come together to create the unique atmosphere of the Charleston Festival. Away from the busy road in the middle of the East Sussex countryside, inspired by a house and their creative and unconventional previous inhabitants.
That's what I want to express through the pictures I make during festival time since 2008 and the selection in this book to celebrate the 25th anniversary.
After 30 years in the corporate world I followed my heart and studied photography in Brighton. My interest is in capturing traces of life and time. Through my lens I create work, which expresses my delight in seeing. I am a 'joyous sensualist' in the sense Walker Evans talked about photographers.

Perpignan battle past Treviso
ESPNscrum Staff
October 17, 2010
Perpignan fullback Jerome Porical breaks through the Treviso defence during the game at the Stade Aime Giral

Perpignan were given an almighty scare before ultimately cruising to a bonus point-clinching 35-14 victory over Treviso at the Stade Aime Giral on Sunday afternoon.
Stunned by the Scarlets in Llanelli in round one, Perpignan went into this Heineken Cup Pool 5 clash in dire need of a victory to kick-start their European campaign. However, despite registering an early try through Jerome Porical, the Catalans found themselves 14-7 down shortly after half-time following tries either side of the interval from Treviso centre Tommaso Benvenuti.
However, Perpignan finally clicked into gear in the closing half hour, eventually breaking Treviso's game resistance with tries from Gavin Hume, Gerrie Britz and Damien Chouly, while also forcing their Italian visitors into the concession of a penalty try.
Perpignan started brightly in Catalonia, with Porical bursting through to score in the corner after just 11 minutes of play. The prolific fullback then converted his own try to put seven points between the sides and, at that early stage, a rout looked a distinct possibility.
However, Treviso, who are more noted for their home form, dug in thereafter, frustrating their hosts with some heroic and disciplined defensive work before silencing the Aime Giral with a try of their own through Benvenuti just five minutes before the break.
The Magners League newcomers struck again lesson than 60 seconds into the second half, with Benvenuti again on hand to score a try which was promptly converted by scrum-half Tobie Botes. Perpignan appeared in real danger of being upset by Treviso for the second successive season, following their defeat at the Stadio Comunale di Monigo last year.
However, Porical restored parity when he converted Hume's 56th-minute try and Perpignan reclaimed the lead shortly after the hour when they forced a penalty try. Treviso then faded badly in the closing stages, coughing up further tries to Britz and Chouly as Perpignan eventually ran out easy winners.

Welcome to the Microsoft Lync Migration Resource Center
These days, companies of all sizes are implementing unified communications solutions in order to provide constant connectivity, improve collaboration and increase worker productivity. Many businesses are turning to Microsoft Lync as their UC solution of choice because of its integration with existing business tools such as Microsoft Office, as well as its robust capabilities in the areas of instant messaging, VoIP, video conferencing and more. For companies interested in migrating to Microsoft Lync, this site will serve as a comprehensive resource, complete with white papers, videos, case studies, industry news, webinars, blog posts and more.
Lync Migration Featured News
For the last 10 years, T-Metrics has designed, developed, and deployed numerous approved products on APLITS (Approved Products List Integrated Tracking System. As of today, T-Metrics is the only provider of contact center software that has been JITC certified to work on Microsoft Lync 2013, and their solution can be found on the Approved Products List (APL) for purchase by Department of Defense organizations at www.disa.mil/ucco.
In the wake of its CloudIT for Google solution that helps businesses evaluate readiness to move to Google Apps as well as manage the transition, SoftWatch, a leader in Application Usage analytics, has launched CloudIT 365 for business customers wishing to switch to Office 365. This assessment service enables companies to undergo an informed and confident transition to Office 365 and take advantage of the wealth of new tools available while saving on licensing.
To say Microsoft's business strategy has been evolving, of late, would be a major understatement. The company has been steadily moving away from on premises enterprise software and is putting more and more money and resources into developing its Azure cloud infrastructure and associated hosted services. Now Microsoft is banking on dual usage from consumers and has rolled out its new Work & Play Bundle.
It should come as a surprise to no one that one of the biggest goals of Microsoft is to get its software in front of as many eyes as possible. With this goal in mind, the company has just announced it is going to be making its Windows Licensing available on a "per user" basis for its enterprise level customers. The policy would be a bit of a change from its usual business level offerings in that the fee was per-device before.
Contact center product provider Acqueon recently announced an update to its contact center extension of the Microsoft Lync platform.
If there is a common thread running through this week's Lync news, it is continuing a theme that seems to permeate the news every week: Lync is thriving. A few product announcements, updates, and adoptions showed up the past few days within the companies of LINN Energy, Pexip, and Meru.

In the curve steepener you are long the short end of the Treasury curve and short the back end.
For example a popular trade with the 10 year about to be auctioned is to be long the 2 year note and short the 10 year.
Now is the trade is unwound traders are selling their longs (2s) and buying back their shorts (10s).
That trade has moved 30 basis points in favor of the 10 year since Friday morning (pre labor)Jun 8 10:16 PM | 0 Likes |Link to Comment

i am jargon heavy at times and apologize. Virtually all corporate bonds are quoted on a spread to a Treasury bond. On the Dow Chemical bond the 7.60 is the coupon interest which it pays . The 540 and the 515 are spreads to the benchmark 5 year Treasury. The wider the spread the cheaper the bond.
Five year Treasury closed the day at 2.40 ish yield. At T+ 540 the Dow yields 240 (the Treasury yield) + 540 (spread above the Treasury = 7.80.
At a spread of 515 it would yield just 7.55.
Hope that helps

NVIDIA 304.37 Linux Driver Brings 41 Official Changes
Published on 13 August 2012 11:56 AM EDT
Written by
Michael Larabel
134 Comments
The first certified NVIDIA 304 series Linux graphics driver has been released. The NVIDIA 304.37 Linux x86/x86_64 graphics driver packs in 41 official changes affecting several areas of this leading proprietary graphics driver.
The NVIDIA 304.37 Linux "certified" driver succeeds the earlier
304.22 beta
304.30 beta
drivers. As such, the 41 listed changes to this certified driver update aren't all brand new if you used one of these earlier 304 series betas, but overall there's some exciting stuff.
The key changes to the NVIDIA 304.37 Linux GeForce/Quadro/Tesla driver include:
- Support for the GeForce GTX 680M, Quadro K1000M, Quadro K2000M, and Tesla K10 graphics processors. These are some of the latest NVIDIA Kepler-based GPUs.
- Various RandR bug-fixes and other minor improvements concerning NVIDIA's new support for version 1.2 and newer of the Resize and Rotate extension for X.Org.
- OpenGL corruption fixes and the blue tinting bug that affected earlier releases.
switch for the NVIDIA binary blob installer that will attempt to automatically kill the open-source Nouveau DRM driver to prevent it from being loaded and conflicting with NVIDIA's official driver.
- Support for xorg-server ABI 13, a.k.a. early
X.Org Server 1.13
- Performance fixes for certain RENDER operations.
- Improved EDID handling.
- Support for
FXAA anti-aliasing
. Fast Approximate Anti-Aliasing ignores polygons and line edges as it just analyzes the screen's pixels. FXAA is a shader program that analyzes the pixels each frame and smooths out any pixels that create an artificial edge. It's very simple but much less advanced than some of the other anti-aliasing methods. However, due to its simplicity, it's very lightweight and fast. (Phoronix benchmarks of NVIDIA FXAA are coming.)
- Support for DisplayPort 1.2 branch devices, which allows for multiple displays to be daisy-chained from a single DisplayPort connector.
Addressing the security vulnerability
in the NVIDIA driver that
allowed you to easily gain root access
- Various bug-fixes.
Overall this is a very nice and hefty update to NVIDIA's proprietary Linux graphics driver. The FreeBSD and Solaris NVIDIA drivers have also been updated as part of their shared UNIX driver development approach at NVIDIA. The NVIDIA 304.37 Linux driver can be downloaded at
where the complete change-log is also available.

Usually only a single background vocal track is not enough. So you want to either double them or add additional harmony parts. Layering additional background tracks can create a lot more depth and realism if you use this trick. After the first background vocal is recorded, have each of the vocalist take one step backwards away from the mic. Have them sing the part, but adjust the level so the meter reads the same as the previous vocal recording. (music playing) Pan each background track left and right. For for each additional part, have the vocalist take another step backwards and readjust the volume so it's about the same as the first track.

Ivo Tennant at West End
May 26, 2012
Hampshire 316 (Ervine 109*, Glover 4-76) and 273 beat Glamorgan 327 (Balcombe 4-91) and 231 by 31 runs

Players/Officials: Marcus North
Matches: Hampshire v Glamorgan at Southampton
Series/Tournaments: County Championship Division Two | England Domestic Season
If Glamorgan were ever to win a championship match, it should have been now. Needing 210 on this final day with eight wickets remaining, Marcus North appearing in pugilistic form at the crease to combat a rather one-dimensional attack that lacked a specialist spinner, they fell short. For them, an exasperating result after winning the toss and gaining a first innings lead. For Hampshire, a second victory of the season.
If Glamorgan were to win, then North, with scores of 79, 21 and 70 to his name following his recovery from a broken finger, would have to play another substantial innings. That much was axiomatic.
This became even more pressing a matter when Gareth Rees went leg before to James Tomlinson, aiming to mid on, after adding just four runs to his overnight 17.
North has not had his central contract in Australia renewed and, at 32, is unlikely to play Test cricket again. He has, though, joined Glamorgan at an important time, for never can a county have been more in need of a substantial contribution from an overseas cricketer.
Again he did not let them down, collecting runs all round the wicket and, clearly determining that Liam Dawson's left arm spin was the vulnerable element of Hampshire's attack, he started to pick out the boundary boards.
North struck Dawson for three fours in an over and nothing looked more apparent than that he would reach a century. Yet the very next over he was bowled by a ball from David Balcombe that kept almost as low as the shooter which beat Michael Bates the previous day. North scored his 69 runs off 102 balls with 11 fours and, with his departure, seemingly went Glamorgan's prospects of a first victory of the season.
That appeared even more likely after lunch when Ben Wright, having made 32, was taken by Dawson at second slip off Balcombe, and then, two balls later, Jim Allenby was held by Bates off Tomlinson. This was 168 for 6. Mark Wallace and John Glover, who has had an impressive few days as a result of being given the new ball in the absence of three seamers, fell back on consolidation.
This lasted until the pair had taken the score to 212, 51 runs short of victory. Glover prodded forward at Dawson and was taken at silly point by Simon Katich. Hereabouts Hampshire could have done with Danny Briggs, their leading spin bowler, playing in this match, but they, too, had taken due heed of the grass left on the surface. Still, they captured the important wicket of Wallace in the next over. He flashed at Kabir Ali and edged to the one slip - that man Katich. Then, without addition, Dean Cosker swept at Dawson, ambitiously if not riskily, and was leg before. Kabir finished off the innings by having Mike Reed held at short leg, trying to fend off a short ball.
Credit to Nigel Gray, the head groundsman who evidently knew exactly what he was doing by leaving so much grass on this pitch. It was indistinguishable from the rest of the square at the outset. Had high-class seamers of yesteryear bowled on it on the first morning, goodness knows how many wickets would have fallen. But Gray knew, after all, that this was a second division match.

|Sabres D Myers says ankle injury fully healed
|Written by Admin
|Thursday, 10 January 2013 09:04
Myers declared himself ``100 percent'' on Thursday after becoming the latest Sabres player to participate in informal practices at a suburban arena. Concerns were raised after Buffalo's star defenseman was hurt early last month playing for Austria's Klagenfurter AC.
Myers missed a about month before returning for one game last week. He returned home Tuesday after a tentative deal was reached to end the NHL lockout.
Though feeling jet-lagged, Myers showed no signs of the injury bothering him during the 90-minute session. The Sabres could open training camp as early as Sunday, and open the regular season a week later.

MAXWELL AIR FORCE BASE, Al
-- Knowing firsthand the horrors of abuse, poet, author, mother and domestic violence survivor and perpetrator Kimberly Hicks shared her story of living in a home that was far from being a safe haven Oct. 25 at the Domestic Violence Awareness Month luncheon.
A retired master sergeant, Hicks, known by her pen names as Kay Cook or Kimmy Kim, gave an interactive presentation at the Maxwell Event Center. She provided audience members with a detailed look into her abusive relationship.
She related to the audience how she was able to walk away from the relationship, and offered them a chance to write down, crush and throw away their own hurts. The event included dramatic poetry readings by domestic violence survivors and awareness advocates.
As a medical technician in the Air Force, she always focused on the needs of her patients, while ignoring her own.
"People would come in [to the clinic] abused and hurt, both women and men, and I would sense there was something not right in their relationships," Hicks said. "Me personally, in my situation, I did not know I was in an abusive relationship until after my husband and I had divorced."
To friends and co-workers, Hicks was funny and popular. She was making rank, winning awards, rearing her five children and on her way to patenting a new invention. Her life seemed to have it all, but within her own home, she was nothing in the eyes of her husband.
"I was called names, and I was made to think at times that I was crazy," she explained. "I'd vacuum the floor, and he'd come home and vacuum the floor as if it hadn't been done. That was his way of telling me for so long that I wasn't a good housekeeper, I wasn't a good mother or I wasn't good at anything."
Belittled like that for years in front of her children, Hicks' feistiness finally caused one fight with her husband to become physical. Harsh words were said and punches were thrown, leaving Hicks with a bloody nose, puffy eyes and a lot to explain when she came into work that next morning. That was her first encounter with family advocacy and when she realized her abusive marriage was draining her of life.
"It took a lot out of me, and I didn't realize it until I just decided to walk away," said Hicks. "I had to walk away for my peace. I had no peace. I was always the peacemaker in a place that offered me no peace, which was my home, and that's not right."
Writing her book, "Poetic Therapy for a Sistah's Soul," Hicks was able to find a release from the pain. It was her therapy, she said. She said she hopes that from her experiences, she can give voice to women who are told to "hush."
"I encourage anybody to not live in silence," Hicks said. "Live your life on purpose. You have your whole life ahead of you. If there's a dream in your heart to do, do it. Let yourself go and be willing to step out of your mess and move forward. Live free and fearless."
To report suspicions of domestic violence, call family advocacy at 953-5430.

5 Tips for Smart Holiday Shopping!
Simple ways to make your big shopping weekend a success!
Make your list and set your budget. First, decide on a shopping budget and be determined to stick to it. Then, make your list, and be sure to have it with you when you shop. This is your guide to keep you on track and within your budget. Be sure to check out the special values at Breezes Day Spa all weekend long. We have something for everyone on your list.
Comparison Shop. Go online and compare stores' prices before you hit the stores. But, do not focus solely on the price. Decide which deal will give you the best value, including shipping costs where applicable, and free gifts. Remember, free gifts can be used for others on your list. Shop smarter, not harder.
Bring coupons and ads with you. Scan the newspaper in the weeks leading up to your big shopping weekend. Cut out the ads and coupons that pertain to the items on your list. Many retailers will be price-matching their competitors, so you may be able to get an item at a different retailer for the same price.
Do your homework. Once you have your list compiled and your ads selected, make a plan of the stores you will visit. Then, go online and check out store policies. It's imperative to know each retailer's policies on refunds, cancellations, returns, etc., in case the recipient of the gift needs to make an exchange or return. In addition, be sure to ask for gift receipts to make this process much easier.
Don't get caught up in the hype! Black Friday is an exciting, crazy day! You'll see bargains everywhere that say, "Lowest Price of the Year!" Don't be fooled. Remember, if you thoroughly completed your homework, you are prepared for the propaganda. Don't let your emotions and all the excitement cause you to buy something you were not intending to buy. Stick to the plan!
Once the shopping has come to an end and things have settled down, take some time to unwind and re-energize a bit. Call Breezes Day Spa at 757-331-3108 and reserve your favorite Spa Treatment. You certainly have earned it!
