|I cleaned the popup by unscrewing the nut under the sink. The short steel rod came out (the one with a plastic ball on it) and one washer. When I went to reinstall everything and tightened the nut, a leak appeared. It did not leak before... it appears the leak is coming from the plastic ball... it was only hand tightened before, but now it leaks... anyone had this problem? What is the solution? Thank you. Bob

The Legend of Biringan City
UPDATE: We have a commenter nicknamed Toanaks claiming to come from Biringan city or what they call, "Mahaniha" (googled it and came up with Arabic texts). Toanaks provides more insight what their city is all about, as well as their culture. It is up to the reader to decide, but Toanaks gave us a good message: Gaea is at her weakest, we must preserve our mother earth. Check out Toanaks' comments below.
At the onset of our Samar travel together with Epic Potato and Wandering Dylan, our main aim was to get to the mysterious Biringan City.
We scoured the web for any information about this place, but we got a few information and mostly were hearsay.
Some people in Samar haven't heard of Biringan city. We noticed that it's the middle-aged or the elderly who knows about the place and warn us not to go there.
Here's why.
The katiguwangans (elderly) near the place say that Biringan city is inhabited with people of the early times. Specifically, the first people. They have long been dead, but for some reason, they are still present in this place. They are responsible for disappearances and other unexplained phenomena that surround this island.
Some Stories Told To Us
Sometimes, at night, they would see the entire island lit up, as if it was an advanced city, thus its moniker Biringan city.
A doctor from Gandara went to the place and told his companions that he noticed a huge castle on the island. However, his friends didn't see it. On the way home, the doctor just turned pale and died for no apparent reason.
People have disappeared from that place on excursions without a trace. They have been searched on this tiny island, but no bodies were found. Nobody lives here as everybody is afraid; if somebody does, old people would warn and prevent that person to do so.
A car company had a shipment of a thousand cars and arrived in Samar. They were looking for Biringan city as it was in the manifesto, but nobody knew where it is. The katiguwangans then directed the delivery man to an island off Pagsanghan, where they believe is where the fictitious city exists. Nobody knew what happened to the cars next.
Their Warnings
A person who doesn't have a philtrum (the medial cleft between your upper lip and nose) is said to be a resident of Biringan city. If you meet such person either in Gandara, Pagsanghan, or on the way to the island, never go with him or her. You would disappear without a trace.
The place is just full of mangroves and vegetation. If you see something grandiose like a castle, never acknowledge that you've seen it. Don't say anything to anybody otherwise the Biringan residents will get you and you will die.
Fate had it that we don't die just yet. It was five in the afternoon when we arrived in Gandara from caving in Matuguinao and there were no more pumpboats we can hire to get there.
It was a disappointment so we just contented ourselves with the stories they told us.

To Ashersheen–
What confusion do I create? Have I told you to believe in something or deny anything of what you have learned throughout your existence? Balance of nature brother, fyi I mean no disrespect but we are all interconnected in someways. whatever happens to your world will affect us just the same. our line of history in your world is deeper than how you perceive things by reading books or surfing the net for that matter. Sometimes we do feel to let it go and let everything happens just the way they should because of those egoistically people who thinks they know everything cause of some manifesto or thesis which they have read somewhere. I am not here to present to you what our people have done to make everything right in this world long even before you were just a dream inside your ancestors mind. Please read it line by line you might learn something, this is not just another textbook talking but ages and ages of experience.
Ashersheen brother you are but just one voice of many whom we have come to love. That is why we are still in contact with some of your people on how to turn the tides of time and prepare. I guess if you don't like what you see then turnaround and just look the other way, at least for me I am here cause the author talks about our world and I am just clarifying some things. If you really are concern in the world you live I hope you are doing something about it and if you are accept my biggest thanks! Don't worry little by little we are trying to hide from the shadows, slowly we are fading from your world. But our elders loved you much that they are willing to sacrifice things for YOU and your people.
Please balance of nature- WE ARE ALL INTERTWINED, PROTECT YOUR WORLD WHICH CO-EXIST WITH OURS BY THAT TIME THEN YOU HAVE JUSTIFIED YOUR BALNCE OF NATURE. thank you for your comment and you have a nice day
@Toanaks, Im sure you understand where I'm coming from, right? What you are telling us is way out of the ordinary. It would sure create confusions, fear and curiousity amongst men. Why do you have access or the so called portals when we don't have anything? What are you guys?
I don't wanna be a hyprocrite. I haven't done much yet to protect the world but at least I am not making it worst and I do acknowledge that it's really not doing good… or wait, why don't you just cast a spell to humans to do the right thing? that would be cool. and it would solve a lot of our problems here. hehe
On the contrary, I do get the message that you are trying to imply. You mean no harm and I know that you are not forcing us to believe you but what do you expect from us? Just sit here and be passive about it? hmm.. that's too boring.
Well, I am excited as to what you can offer and I would love to hear more about your thoughts. I guess I'm gonna hang around for some time here reading your comments and others as well. This is really interesting. And I hope you won't let us wait for a year. haha. We might forget that this thing existed.
Have a great day!
natutuwa ako ang namamangha sa mga kwento mo tungkol sa mundo neo.
hayaan mo na yan sa ashersheen. maraming mga taong nde open minded… minsan mahirap tanggapin ang mga bagay na nde saklaw ng ating kaalaman. nde ko sinasabing naniniwala ako o nde. binubuksan ko lng ang aking isapan sa maraming possiblities.
kng pde mag usap tayu sa email eto email add ko email@example.com
@toanaks… long time no hear… you are feeding more traffic again to this site Continue your passion toanaks, you have good words and you can make your self productive out of it… see you around…

Hello Toanaks. I practically grew up in Catbalogan Samar and I've been hearing the existence of your world since childhood. You see, my lola is from Pagsanghan Samar and she used to tell us enchanting and a bit scary stories from your world. So whenever we go to Pagsanghan during fiestas, I can't help but feel mystefied in a good way. I there any way like, I have seen or talked to one of your likes before? The thought makes me really excited :)My father also told me that his Great Grandfather allegedly possessed an Agimat which makes him waterproof and makes his head glow at night.I'm enchanted to know you and your people more I really want to write a book and if you don't mind, I'll include some of your(your people's, that is) ways as one of the inspirations for my novel. I'm afraid it is too late for me to get a reply from you. But if you are still there, please do contact me here.Say something please. I'll be waiting
This article just proves how irresponsible we, humans, are. Toanaks existence isn't the issue here. Real or unreal, we all MUST DO SOMETHING to make this world that we live in a BETTER PLACE. Try to look at the previous comments. We got stirred up with the concept of a superhuman's existence rather than doing something that will lessen the effects nature's toll on us.
I can't help but visualize Toanak's world as somewhat comparable to the world of the Na'Vi in the film Avatar.
If you are really from Biringan City….who is Carolina and Maita Gomez?
Am sure you a familiar with these famous personalities from Biringan City…describe them and how they were able to get into Biringan City….pag di mo nasagot yan..hahaha peke ka na taga Biringan…
To: TOANAKS
Did you ever get a chance to meet "Ben Usay Ngipon"? He traveled a lot in the Visayas region. Can you tell me more about "SD"? What is your civilization's role in SD's grand plans for all of humanity?
Sierra Jones,
What's with Carolina and Maita Gomez?
@Toanaks -there is no such thing as FREE ENERGY…the premise of free energy violates the laws of Physics as we know it today. There are cheap and abundant energy sources such as wind, sun and maybe Cold Fusion in the future. Nikola Tesla did not create a FREE ENERGY device…this belief stemmed out of conspiracy theorists and their ignorance of how the Tesla Wardenclyffe facility works. For somebody claiming supernatural nature as you do, you should at least verify your information before you post them and avoid being branded as a fake, which we already know you are.
@toanaks-you must be some kind of an ancient alien.haha. but why biringan or central samar? may nabasa akong article dati but i forgot the name na. its about a survey conducted by a joint japanese-filipino cooperation in an area somwhere in between san jorge and pagsanghan samar (the area where sightings of the said enchanted city is prevalent) for purposes of developments ata un. they found out that there's a large deposit of uranium daw in that area. if it's true, is uranium something to do with why your people chose biringan as a portal?
Yo! Toanaks..just askin if we can marry one of your kind but prefer to live not in your "world"…can u engkantos bear a child to human? Just curious coz i feel am a daughter of an engkanto..
Can u do me a favor dear….kindly convey my warm regards to my younger brother Dennis who's already with u in Biringan. I saw him on his birthday riding a motorboat in the river of pagsanghan on my way home to catb after attending the town fiesta last feb 21 this year. Do tell my brother thank u for always being there with me mostly for always protecting me. I love him and misses him a lot. I wanna hug him..talk to him personally. I wont run promise. He dont need to disguise. I know the little frog who is always with me in my house is no doubt my over.protective brother. Please let him talk to me in human form..he is my own brother..i wanna hug him tight. Am pleading…let him talk to me in my house as i have seen his shadow watching over me.
kilala ko si toanaks pag didisguise siya in human form, search gilbert illustre yap in fb, he is TOOANAKS and yes he is from biringan
@saheyhlo..no doubt you're from biringan too….well..obviously he's indeed from that place as he has no philtrum in all his pictures…but my oh my he's so cute and so young
You guys are creeping me out! Lol
sorry may pinuntahan lang ako saglit, @ lennie hindi ako taga biringan pero hindi din ako taga dito. kilala ako ni toanaks , kilalang kilala. hindi ako dugong bughaw gaya ni toanaks.
…and what kind of friend are you…you divulge his true identity..kawawa naman siya..how can he enjoy now his privacy…ngaung alam na ng ilan na isa siyang engkanto…unless if he has power to change his look.
@lennie kilala niya ako pero hindi ibig sabihin nun magkaibigan na kami.
@saheyhlo..since u got connection with engkantos..wonder if ya know my younger bro who i believe already one of them..mom's dad was fetched by the engkantos riding horses…after younger bro's death..some white ladies fetched me while i was all alone at home with high fever…screamed so hard and kicked them…wonder if the engkanto suitor of mom in her high school days impregnated mom
Mom's teaching assignment before was in her hometown-pagsanghan and she was all alone in their ancestral house while tatay was with my two elder sisters in our city…mom was with them during weekends only…i grow up na malau loob ng tatay q ckn…could i possibly b a daughter of mom's former suitor who was an engkanto….
@saheyhlo….if you're not from biringan nor from this planet earth…am sure yar from heaven…and yar none other than my younger brother Dennis…are you?
@Toanaks, I admire your wisdom and knowledge, and I will not dare compare my meager ability.
as you stated here:
"6. We have strictly followed a long tradition when it come to living our lives. We never changed!"
with no disrespect, aren't you placing your "Amaam" in harms way? It may seem like from where you came from, it has the same nature that coincides with Philippine society where some sons and daughters of "Officials" always get away with trouble (you be my guest in citing examples). If you are not indeed human, then at least you have a trait of being a Filipino with what you are enjoying (getting away with breaking rules) right now which really makes me think that you are as warm as we are and will bleed the same way as us.
I can just imagine you smiling somewhere in reading all these replies in a whimsical way but then I really admire the message that you convey here.
It's never really about proving existences, its about our choice on what to believe and which to pursue. Toanaks is pointing us to the obvious perils that we exchange for convenience and turn blind eyes on, which I too am very guilty about.
Hope to hear from you soon. (if you have not yet been caught by your kind)
@Toanaks Alam ko napakatagal natong post na to. pero sa sobrang curiosity ko po sa Biringan napadpad ako dito sa site na to. Since 2013 pa ako namamangha sa mga kwento tungkol dito at di ko maikakaila na nagreresearch talaga ako ng proof. Pero nung nabasa ko lahat ng comments mo. Namangha po ako sobra. Mahirap man paniwalaan para sa marami pero lahat ng sinabi mo lalong nagbukas sa isip ko. Hindi ko alam kung mababasa mo pa to pero gusto ko magpasalamat sayo at sa mga sinabi mo. Alam ko napaka buti mong nilalang dahil may puso ka para ipaunawa sa amin ang mga bagay bagay. Salamat din sa concern mo sa sangkatauhan. Pagpasensyahan mo nalang yung mga di nakakaunawa. Pero ako naniniwala ako sayo at sa mga sinabi mo. Pagpalain ka nawa.
Dear Toanaks,good day to you and to everybody who are visiting this site to exchange potpourri of ideas.I do really feel sad to those who are still skeptics about the existence of the other world,like your world.Before going further,it is my pleasure to read your eloquent messages just now and I am really astounded of the ideas and details of who,whats, hows and whys pertaining your world and your identity more especially the imminent catastrophic situation of the world we live in.I have been searching for more infos regarding Biringan city and I felt so lucky today to bump to this site just this morning.I felt so honored to convey my message to you and to the people who may read this also.You know,when i read your messages I immediately remembered the messages too of Omnec Onec,the woman from Venus,a reminder to mankind of its GREED that resulted to the destruction of the mother nature and consequently will surely be the cause of the total destruction of mankind likewise.I know that what will happen to us will affect also your world and you,its people.I know that you are shied away to put things that are gonna to happen (hakuna matana in Lion King movie) on hold since you are only allowed to remind and and give advice to us mortals on how to change our evil ways.Every people here on earth,the lowly and the elites (more credit to the elites and the corrupt government officials and politicians) is responsible for everything that leads to the total wipe out of humankind.Could we not join hands to alter the things that are supposed to happen? I mean,not physical in terms because I know we cannot do that but by spreading words and gradually changing the minds and ideas of those corrupted ones and will opt to do good in the future.I know that you and your world has already a blueprint,as I call it,the imminent wrath and punishment of our mother nature to us plus the manipulation of the evil elites to cause more death and destruction to the world population.Is it still possible for these people to quit from what they have started and put everything back for the benefits of all mankind? Perhaps I have gone too far but please let me have a throwback.During my childhood I heard already a lot of stories about "enchanted people (engkanto or talisman as per your terminology)" and according to our ancestors and elders they live thrive,live or dwell in "balete or dakit" trees.Everytime when I was requested for an errand and when I knew that a path I was going to take was having a "dakit (Cebuano term)" I will pour out a lot of alibis but all of them were no match to "pudlos (a slender rattan cane used by horserider,to hit the horse to make it run or walk faster)" my father was holding.My father taught me to be brave.So, everytime when I walked under the shadow of the tree I can tell the rushing of adrenalin all over my body and felt my head was like a porcupine.When I became teenager,the fear from seeing them (talisman) had changed to longing them.How I wished to see them and visit their world.By the way,I hailed from Masbate,can understand Waray,Ilonggo,Tagalog,fluent in Cebuano,our vernacular(Masbateno) and Arabic.Please let's continue.One time,my sister had a suitor who was from San Vicente,Samar.He had also a story that in San Vicente (an island too,if I am not mistaken)there were also a lot of "engkantos" and according to him the people there were used already to have "engkantadas" join the "benefit dance" everytime and they will leave before midnight.I felt so fascinated with the story and was really hoping almost in my whole life to meet an "engkantada".Additional spice to the story:again,according to that same guy,when its moonlit,the people would see herds of cattle and goats grazing on the mountaintops but there was no ranch or whatsoever on that area.My dear Toanaks,is it ok for me to quote what I have read from your message? You said that: "Electricity is free only if it was not privatized by selected fews"….Are you referring this to your world? Can I have one question,please?Is the world of the dwarves or elves (dwendes) different from yours?I have a lot of experiences of their presence,I was sure giving me a test and if I could pass they would befriend me.I knew its them and I passed already some of the test but the last time I was not able to hold anymore my temper I made them upset.I knew they have a form of government in their world and it is interesting to know that they almost know with each other in every corner in the Philippines.Enough for this short message for now….hahaha.My dear Toanaks,please feel free to make comments on my message and to anybody out there.I am using my iphone everytime for messaging and here is my email ad: "email@example.com",for my laptop: "firstname.lastname@example.com".Thanks so much to all for giving time to read this.GOD loves us and peace to all.GOD is LOVE
Naalala ko ang place na ito… Bata pa ako at buhay pa ang grand parents ko noon at may nagbebenta ng isda sa amin na taga biringan city… Not remember kung ano name niya pero mabait yun… For all of the stories na nababasa ko sa net about this enchanted city ay parang gusto ko makita ang lugar. I am just being an open-minded person. Hehe
hi toanaks…any halloween treat for us?
Out of curiousity i stumbled upon this blog. Reading the comments, kinda creepy and somehow makes you think that humanity is at its lowest point. @toanaks your world is like a nirvana, living life in its simplest form. Definitely a better world than the one we have.
Are you my younger brother saheyhlo? the fact that you at once come into view the time I was looking for you from toanaks. Why you dont anymore visit me in my dreams as what you used to do since we were kids….why you didnt anymore shield me from these bad people around me..I need you so badly bro…my insane neighbor keep on harrassing me….and the bitch down my house…am not safe living in my dream house…ex hubby still stalking with me…
got a young white lady housemate since the subdivision where I resides is on top of the mountain but she herself is helpless…and I dont anymore see froggy in my balcony…the little frog who watched my house for 3 yrs already…my protector and playmate….though i shiver with fear from the insanity of my neighbor….but i still manage to play the roar song and girl on fire with maximum volume to let him know that he cannot intimidate me with all his harrassments….
I believe I belong to your world.
Which world Gen?
Hello toanaks! Just want to let you know I completely believe in everything you say. I just feel it in my heart. And this inter-connectedness, we are all One and we should all have love and compassion for one another. Hope to hear from you toanaks I'm a big fan
@toanoaks I feel you. there is something in me that I'm not aware of, an energy that resides inside me so I feel entities, from akunatin to this city you speak of come to me, come to me so we may save our planet come to me so we may live on as we are ultimately one organism, one organism of energy, which does not die so come to me come to me today.

Thank you.
Thanks for the amazing tutorial. It's just what i wanted to get.
I was actually looking for a tutorial for creating letterpress typography in photoshop. Thanks for such a detailed explanation. I'll definitely give it a try.
I recently explored using letterpress for some invitations that I was designing. Needless to say, while it looked beautiful it was well out of our budget. While I took another option, I hope to use this tutorial to at least offer "the look for less."
Nice tutorial post to create letterpress typography using photoshop. Thanks for sharing this nice post.

Thanks so much for the tutorial. I have been searching all night for the right tutorial. I just could not figure out what type of effect this was and its actual name. Now I know!

Second suspect charged in pot-growing operation
Wednesday, January 29, 2014
ROCHESTER — A second suspect was arrested Monday in connection with an alleged marijuana growing operation in a Lafayette Street residence.
In the kitchen, police found an unloaded shotgun in a brown bag, and according to Balint's affidavit, the serial number of the weapon was scratched off and was unreadable.
As a result of the search, police last week arrested Smith at the county jail. Smith was charged with felony manufacture of a controlled drug, and possession of property without a serial number, which is a Class A misdemeanor.
On Monday, Hanscom was arrested on the drug manufacture charge after she made several confessions to police. According to Balint's affidavit, during a voluntary interview with police after the search, Hanscom admitted to watering the marijuana plants, and said Smith was responsible for the plants.
Hanscom is currently free on $2,500 personal recognizance bail, and is scheduled for appear at Rochester Circuit Court for arraignment on March 3.
Smith, who is still being held in jail, is scheduled to appear for a probable cause hearing Monday at Rochester Circuit Court.

On 14 May EU's agriculture and fisheries ministers continued the debate on Europe's Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) reform, this time focusing on how to achieve the "maximum sustainable yield" (MSY) – the largest average catch that can continuously be taken from a fish stock without jeopardising that stock's reproduction. The EU has an international obligation to meet this requirement by 2015.
© Fotolia
Managing fisheries according to MSY should ensure the recovery of the EU fish stocks (around 82 % of Mediterranean stocks and 36 % of Atlantic stocks are currently overfished) and contribute to making ecosystems healthier. It should also improve the social and economic conditions of fishermen in the long run, providing bigger catches, higher profit margins and returns on investment.
"We have a very significant responsibility on our shoulders – it is not only just fish and fishermen today and tomorrow. We are really talking about the sustainability for the future and for future generations," said Mette Gjerskov, Danish minister for food, agriculture and fisheries, who chaired the meeting.
All member states agree on the use of MSY to ensure sustainability of the fish stocks. The main difficulties, in their opinion, lie with the practical implementation of this goal.
Ministers share the view that in order to establish realistic MSY targets, the most immediate task is to obtain enough reliable scientific data, which currently is often insufficient, and especially on mixed fisheries where several species are fished.
Some member states believe that the deadline – 2015 – is too short to implement MSY targets for stocks on which scientific information is missing. They would prefer a more gradual pace, also to avoid any excessively brusque adjustments in the fishing industry. The Council largely agrees with the Commissioner for Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Maria Damanaki that there should be a clear deadline, and several delegates proposed the year 2020 for completing implementation.
"We, as Europe, as the EU, have an obligation. … We must be able to promise the world that there will be a limit. And to promise it to ourselves. It is difficult, but it has to be done," said minister Gjerskov.
Another major question is how to implement usefully the MSY in the mixed and multispecies fisheries, i.e. how to allow catches of healthy stocks and at the same time not endanger the most vulnerable ones in the same fishery resource.
Many member states believe that taking the most vulnerable species as a reference for a mixed fishery might not be the best way to achieve the desired outcome, and propose that MSY targets should be based on robust scientific data and advice. Other delegates proposed that, in addition, the use of selective gear or keeping certain areas closed could also help to achieve the MSY targets for several stocks at the same time.
The EU has so far managed to bring 20 of its stocks to the maximum sustainable yield (MSY) level, which resulted, according to Commissioner Damanaki, in additional income – a total of EUR 135 million in one year – for fishermen in the North and the Baltic seas.
Taking into consideration the member states' concerns, opinions and proposals, the Presidency will now draft a compromise text. The Council plans to reach a global agreement (the so-called "general approach") to be able to start negotiations with the European Parliament in June this year.

Jeff Anthony Reddick uses filmatic imagery as a "tool of mass construction," to transform and denounce what he feels is a chaotic and unjust reality. He also considers his dreams, illusions and profound desire to overcome any and all barriers imaginable part of his arsenal.
Reddick has epilepsy, experiences migraine headaches and, as diagnosed during his years as a student, is "learning disabled." But Reddick is working to do something for people who live in difficult conditions.
This filmmaker is known for bringing attention to the issues of people who have been forsaken, of those sectors of society that are forgotten about. Without knowing Spanish, Reddick saved money and – after a long and complicated process of obtaining permits – went to Cuba to make his latest documentary entitled "Nursing Cuba." The final edition was made possible thanks to the generous support of Doctor Andrew Horton, Director of the Film Institute at the University of Oklahoma.
Reddick was happy to participate in an exclusive interview for Proyecto Visión.
A.H. What is the plot of "Nursing Cuba?"
J.R. The main theme is the bitter, fierce and painful struggle that Cuban seniors are experiencing in order to obtain medical attention from the few geriatric doctors on the island. The film takes place mostly in Pedro Gonzáles Hospital, which, like many other hospitals in Cuba, was devastated by the recent hurricanes in the Caribbean.
The documentary is about the effects of the embargo on the people of Cuba. Those who hold the power suffer little to no personal consequences. Unfortunately those who feel the impact of the embargo are the average men, women and children of the Cuban towns.
In the film, my point of view supports studies done by the American Association for World Health that determined the embargo has caused not only cause dramatic suffering, but also irreversible damage the health and nutrition of a great percentage of the population, and may have contributed to deaths.
The Cuban Democracy Act (1992) prohibits the sale of food and restricts the importation of medicines and medical equipment to Cuba. In addition, the mergers and acquisitions among pharmaceutical companies in the United States and Europe have reduced the number of companies that do business with Cuba so fewer medical supplies and medicines reach the island.
A.H. Why did you choose to highlight the situation of elderly people in Cuba?
J.R. Elderly Cubans have lived through it all: from the pre-revolution to the present state of deterioration. Many older people in Cuba live very poorly. In every corner of the island there are hospitals and clinics, but there are few geriatric specialists on the island. Elderly people do not have access to medical supplies like pacemakers or kidney dialysis machines because it is near impossible to buy them. The older people suffer the consequences of international politics. It seems to me a blind and inhumane battle.
A.H. What do the Cubans do to survive all the calamities?
J.R. The Cubans do incredible things to make up for what they don't have and to try to survive. The government programs for retired people try to make up for what's lacking in certain areas. In Cuba they don't have regular access to modern medicine so preventative medical care is fundamental. There also are alternative treatments, such as herbal remedies. The Cuban philosophy, basically, is to try to avoid disability or illness, be it mental, psychological or physical. The idea is to keep the people active and participating in the community.
One thing that I liked about the Cuban medicine is that it focuses on prevention. The older people in Cuba only use drugs when it is absolutely necessary. The Cuban doctors try to prolong the quality of people's lives.
A.H. How will your documentary help improve the situation of elderly Cubans?

What are your major plans for the AMJ quarter? How will you achieve the same?We will be focussing on consumer market during this quarter. There have been some key growth drivers that have helped us achieve a formidable position in the digital imaging industry in India. The home printing segment is growing at a faster rate today. There is huge market potential in this segment. Some of the other key growth drivers are Canon Premium Partner engagement programmes, increased thrust on corporate business, engagement with Canon-empowered partners, improved and increased level of service support, customer engagement through experiential marketing and increased and consistent brand visibility through various advertising and marketing initiatives.We are looking at the consumers who require printers for school projects, home printing. Printers would be an integral part of the family and brand choices would be made with more emotional attachment to the product segment and aesthetics would play an important consideration. Canon's PIXMA range of single-function and multifunctional devices would be a fit for this segment with functionalities like picolitre advantage, FINE printing, Chromalife 100 ink, auto image-fix, etc. During this quarter, we will also look at laser printers for home usage. With the election coming closer, we do see a vast market for printers during this time.Do you have any new plans for the channel partners? At Canon, we partner with the best people and believe in overall partner excellence. We have a number of plans for this year, which include quarterly schemes wherein we offer huge differential in our margins for partners to keep them motivated. Canon plans to aggressively link all secondary channel partners through Partner Excellence Programme – Secondary (PEP-SY). This programme will help incentivize partners and be connected directly. Given the recession, are you planning to redefine your strategy for channel partners to overcome these challenging times? Canon is pumping a good amount of money despite recession. An initiative to give cautious customers the opportunity to experience products before making purchase decisions is BIBLE (Before I Buy Live Experience) for customers, wherein Canon is investing heavily into BTL (demos, display, POS) and ATL for specific activities. Retail initiatives to include D&D (Demo & Display) programme to generate greater visibility for the Canon brand – this increasingly benefits the retailer – Canon comes out with quarterly schemes. For 2009, our focus is Canon GMOL (Gain More out of Left) where "We Dare" and we want to bank on our edge. How are you going to tap the Indian printing market in 2009? Canon will primarily drive on laser printer category for this year 2009. Under laser printer category, today Canon is the only company in the industry offering an entry-level printer with full toner capacity which truly gives value for money. The focus is on villages seeing the education and health segment growing in these areas. We have an entry-level A4 scanner specially designed for villages. These can even scan A3 size papers. However, this does not take us away from the premium market as Canon has unique hi-end products with high toner capacity.What is your market share? Canon currently holds 20-per cent market share in the inkjet printer segment and 18-per cent in laser printer segment. The year 2008 witnessed the Consumer System Products division of Canon achieving phenomenal success and growth. With a strong presence across all product categories in this segment, i.e. printers, projectors, scanners and AIOs, the CSP division was the second-largest contributor to Canon India's revenues. Our goal this year is to grow at 30 per cent over last year.How will you achieve the desired market share? Canon has a complete range of hi-tech products to cater to the market. Every year, Canon spends a huge amount on R&D activities to improve their products further and to cater the growing demands of the customers.We will invest in training and educating the channel partners. Several schemes would be rolled out to boost sales and also keep the motivation level high. We also intend to increase participation in exhibition to showcase our range of products to the audience at large. We also have the DND (Display and Demo) scheme wherein our experts at various image lounges assist in selecting the right product, the POS at these image lounges help enhance the overall consumer experience. The Canon Image Lounges are a touch and try zone with no pressure to buy.Canon is not planning to reduce on its A&P activities; it will plan and roll out unique ATL and BTL plans.How many channel partners are you currently working with? Do you have any plans to increase the channel base?Canon has 101 city distributors, 3,000 resellers and 2,500 retailers. Canon products are available in over 300 towns in India. Around 85 per cent of the Canon's channel partners sell all these products. They have an integrated product offering. The offerings range from cameras to printers. In fact, Canon is positioned better vis-à-vis the competitors as we have both the cameras and the photo printers. And not only this, in both the categories we are one of the leaders. Our focus this year would be on non-metro market. We would aim at developing a channel base out there. Along with that, we also plan to replicate the "Print City" campaign which was successfully carried out in cities like Guwahati, Chandigarh, Jaipur, Indore and Kochi. This time, we plan to execute this campaign in the upcoming cities like Pune, Ahmedabad, etc. This would reinforce our focus on regional markets.How important are Tier II & III markets for you? Canon had launched its regional outreach programmes across the country – Amchi Mumbai, Humari Delhi, Namma Bengaluru and Namma Chennai. The projects were launched to create better connect with the customers in these regions. This year, we are focussing on non-metro markets and we will be executing our "Print City campaign in Pune, Ahmedabad, etc.What are the growth opportunities for you? Our goal this year is to achieve 30-per cent growth over the last year. Canon sees a great opportunity in the domestic market because of infrastructural development and health. Demand for peripherals is increasing day by day and the industry has witnessed huge growth during 2008. There is a lot of potential and latent demand in the PC peripheral market in India, which will steadily rise after the demand from tier-III and tier-IV cities also picks up. Therefore, we aim to explore these markets and increase our market share. Canon is highly optimistic of exploring these markets.What is your USP? Canon's technological excellence differentiates it from the rest of the players. Technologies include revolutionary PGR (Pigment Reaction technology), Colour Optimization and many more. Canon has introduced technologies which will focus on minimizing wastage, thus catering to the cautious mindset of the consumers. Full toner capacity in Canon's LBP printers & PGR technology provide greater output with lesser costs. Therefore, greater focus is being laid on the laser printer segment which adopts these technologies, thus making it our USP. We do believe that the channel partners should accelerate the process of growth. Therefore, our approach towards the channel partners becomes our USP. At the same time, we aim to keep the partners happy and incentivize each of their activity to maintain a long-term relationship and thereby increase channel profitability.

One question
Q: What's one of the biggest hurdles to implementing DevOps in an enterprise?
A: DevOps requires much tighter collaboration between stakeholders who aren't typically used to working collaboratively: the strategy team, the application dev team, the operations team, and so on. All these different siloed operations need to be fully integrated. So there's significant transformation from a people and organization perspective, as well as from a cultural and governance perspective. It doesn't happen overnight. For some large organizations, it may take a year or longer to fully embrace DevOps. But the greater agility benefits are worth it, particularly when it comes to mobile development.

The following are articles I have written and shared with the nursing community. If you enjoy an article please leave a comment and tell me what you think.
The Devil and Delta Webster
I could hear the complaining all the way down the hall as I clocked in for my shift. "Will somebody tell me again why we don't have air conditioning!?" "Because the owner's too cheap to put it in." "This is supposed to be the hottest day of the year. How're we supposed to get through it?" "Ask Viva. She's weird. She actually LIKES the heat." Yes, I'm known for being relatively heat-tolerant, but on that particular afternoon it was expected to reach well over 100 degrees in a locale where... Read More →
LTC 101: What To Expect
Not every long-term care nurse chooses LTC as a profession. Sometimes, it chooses us. But no matter how you've arrived at your first job in a nursing facility, there are challenges awaiting you that you didn't anticipate, especially if you're coming from acute care or another environment where even chaotic conditions have some form of logic to them. Here are a few things you should expect as a new long-term care nurse: Expect to chase after supplies. I have never worked in a nursing... Read More →
The Stranger Within: It Does Get Better
On my computer desk stands a brightly painted wooden figurine of a toucan, a souvenir of a part of Mexico I've never visited and probably never will. His garish red, green, and pink feathers are reminiscent of a certain tank top I bought a couple of summers ago that I would have laughed at had I been in my right mind at the time. (I don't know where the garment is now; I'm afraid it'll leap out of the closet one night and try to strangle me.) Yes, it really happened: my psychiatrist gave... Read More →
"State's Here!": Demystifying the Long-Term Care Survey
It's the same every year: a contingent from "The State" invades your facility and commences with scrutinizing your work, poring over your records, nosing around the kitchen and dining areas, and asking endless questions. Managers who are rarely seen outside their offices suddenly become helpful, wiping down dining tables and pushing wheelchairs, while everyone from charge nurses to housekeepers strive not to show their nervousness as surveyors watch them perform their duties. I know it... Read More →
Surveyor: The First Week
I really had no idea what I was getting into. I thought I knew pretty well what state surveyors did from being on the receiving end of entrance conferences, interrogations, citations, and exit interviews. They always had an air of mystery about them; they were also knowledgeable, inquisitive, and terribly intimidating. I used to sneak peeks at them as they sat in the private conference room, writing busily and talking about what I presumed was the 50 F-tags they were going to give us. ... Read More →
The Top 10 Things I Loved About Nursing
As a nurse who has left the clinical side of the profession, I've had a little time recently to ponder both the good and bad aspects of the vocation I chose long ago. And although it got to be too much for me in the end, there was far more positive than negative. Here are the things I used to love about nursing: 10) I very much enjoyed working in the most comfortable clothing on the planet. What other field lets you work in what are basically pajamas with lots of pockets? And sneakers?... Read More →
Hanging It Up
It seems almost unreal: in six days, I will don my scrubs, put my name badge on, and go to work at the nursing home like I have almost every weekend since last July. I will pass meds, listen to hearts and lungs, change a dressing or two, greet visitors, answer questions, and do admission assessments in much the same manner as I have for the past sixteen-and-a-half years. Only this time, it will be for the last time. After many months of having one foot firmly planted in nursing and the... Read More →
The Hunger Games
`urp` groannnnnnn How in the name of all that is reasonable is it possible to eat this much and not blow up??! I just polished off a two-enchilada dinner, complete with salsa and chips plus a slice of flan to top it all off, and even though I feel like a beached whale I know darned well Im going to be hungry again before bedtime. Why? Because I'm taking a medication whose major side effects are increased appetite and weight gain. Actually, "increased" doesn't even begin to cover it:... Read More →
Just Another Day in Paradise
It's Saturday morning at Paradise Nursing and Rehabilitation Center*, and I've just arrived on the floor to pass the 0900 meds. Spying my cart, I can see that Mac has already been there, for once again there is a carefully arranged "house of cards" made of med cups, spoons, and straws on top of it. It's the CNA's way of greeting me in the morning. Pretty soon, Mac himself shows up and gives me a great big hug right in the middle of the hallway, and my day begins. Candie, the treatment nurse,...

Calling In Sick: Dealing With Mental Illness At Work, Part 4
If you are a nurse diagnosed with depression, anxiety, or any other psychiatric illness, you are probably doing all you can to maintain your mental health: you're taking your medications as ordered, keeping your therapy appointments, seeing your psychiatrist and/or PCP on a regular basis, plus taking appropriate self-care measures to keep your body as healthy as possible. Unfortunately, almost everyone with these conditions will experience a relapse at one point or another; it's the nature... Read More →
Calling In Sick: Dealing With Mental Illness At Work, Part 3
Among the challenges of being a healthcare professional with a mental disorder, perhaps none is so difficult as maintaining one's composure during an exacerbation of illness. Not only is it undignified to be so out of control that you disrupt a staff meeting or hear voices coming from the desk fan at the nurse's station, it's potentially disastrous to your career. Obviously, you want to avoid manifesting signs of your illness at work (and it would be nice if you can keep your cool at home,... Read More →
Calling In Sick: Dealing With Mental Illness At Work, Part 2
If you are a nurse who suffers from a serious mental illness such as bipolar disorder or schizophrenia, you probably have had difficulties in obtaining, and then keeping a job. Many of us have spotty work histories filled with multiple jobs where we stayed only a brief time (AKA job-hopping) and jobs we've lost because of inconsistent performance or poor attendance. Others have spent time on disability due to severe MI that kept them from working for months or even years; once stabilized, they... Read More →
Calling In Sick: Dealing With Mental Illness At Work, Part 1
The alarm clock jolts you awake as it does every morning at 0500, alerting you to the fact that today is yet another work day. You groan and pull the covers over your head momentarily, wishing for nothing more than to crawl into a warm cave like a hibernating bear until you feel human again......if you ever do, that is. And you're beginning to doubt that more with each passing day. The prospect of another shift filled with unceasing demands and busy-work tasks threatens to overwhelm you as... Read More →
Hearts and Entertainment
It all started with the guy in room 156, who pulled the oldest trick in the book and still got a newish nurse to buy it. We've had an epidemic of respiratory infections in the building lately, so everyone who's got issues has to wear a mask outside their room; or in the case of staff, they have to wear a mask period. So when "Mickey" got back from dialysis, he was still wearing his, and as the aides were helping him into bed he asked to see the nurse. I heard the story this way: Sherry,... Read More →
Nurses With POSSIBILITIES: Changing Our Perspective on Disability
The light from the front porch lamp filtered through the sheer drapes as I sat in the dark dining room, chatting on the phone with an old friend I hadn't seen in years. "Shawn" was in the hospital with a life-threatening heart condition, scared to death, and he'd called me out of the blue because I was the only person he knew who would understand. As we were catching up with one another, he mentioned his work as a live-in life coach for a man with multiple medical, psychological, and... Read More →

The Governing Board CCSSO Policy Task Force
As part of the Board's effort to expand involvement and input from state education leaders, the Governing Board partnered with Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) to create a Task Force in September 2007. This Board-funded Task Force is charged with providing state feedback and recommendations to the National Assessment Governing Board on policy areas and projects related to the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP).
The Task Force is comprised of 12 high-level state education agency staff members including one chief state school officer, eight members who are either deputy or assistant superintendents, and three public information officers. This wide cross section of perspectives vested in education has shaped careful and extensive deliberations on many NAEP policy areas.
Task Force members are chosen based on expertise and interest in assessment and geographic representation of the nation.

In addition, a number of chief state school officers and state testing directors have served as members of the Governing Board over the years.
CCSSO is a nonpartisan, nationwide, nonprofit organization of public officials who head departments of elementary and secondary education in the states and several jurisdictions. CCSSO provides leadership, advocacy, and technical assistance on major educational issues. For more information, visit http://www.ccsso.org.
Policy Topics Addressed to Date
Ten topics have been discussed in depth on an iterative basis. Several of these topics will continue to be addressed in 2011-2012.
Discussion Topics:
- NAEP Reporting Process
- NAEP Inclusion and Accommodations
- NAEP Assessment Schedule
- Grade 12 NAEP
- NAEP Reading Trend Line
- NAEP Race/Ethnicity Reporting
- Common Core State Standards
- Misuse and Misinterpretation of NAEP Data
- International Benchmarking
- Board Initiatives on Raising Achievement and Closing Gaps
The Task Force and the Board
The Governing Board's Executive Committee receives an update on the Task Force's work. In addition, presentations to the full Board by Task Force members occur periodically.
At the December 2011 Board meeting in Washington, DC, 2011-2012 Task Force Chair Patricia Wright, Superintendent of Public Instruction for the Virginia Department of Education, will present a special annual briefing on behalf of the Task Force.
The Task Force and Outreach
Task Force members also seek additional input by sharing Task Force recommendations and gathering feedback from their peer groups. For example, members have made presentations to state testing directors and chief state school officers representing states across the nation.
The Task Force provides an important vehicle for state perspectives to be incorporated into Governing Board policy deliberations and projects. For more information about the Task Force, see http://communities.ccsso.org/web/NAGB_Policy.

Games Named by the Phrases Said Most While Playing Them
As it turns out, the folks over at CollegeHumor don't just do hilarious videos these days, they also do hilarious photoshops, like this series which imagines if games were named after the phrases you say most while playing them.
"How did he know I was there?" is a pretty good one for Modern Warfare, though I will say the screen watching thing, not so much, as no one ever plays freaking local in COD. It's barely even possible with all the aformentioned screen peeking. I would go with "He's gotta be hacking!" for the second part instead.
Check out the other games here.
