Bringing the Woods Indoors
As images of Christmas trees, logs on the fire and all things wood, warm and wintry surround us at this festive time of year, we find ourselves thinking about ways to bring nature's warm and natural palette into rooms. Here are a few of our favorite nature-minded finds.
This gorgeous dresser from Iannone Design is a unique, eco-friendly piece. It combines natural materials and modern design.
Sweet, romantic and a bit retro, this wall decal is ideal for any kid who would enjoy the company of little deer, squirrels and bunnies.
Dwell Studio bedding is one of our favorite brands for its quality and design. This owls set is perfect for a little one who likes napping in the "woods."
This tree shrub floor lamp from Vibia is absolutely fantastic. It is chic and quite powerful as well. Though originally intended for outdoor spaces, it can make a big difference in a dark room.
The Birds on Tree Shadows wall clock is handmade. It is simple, elegant and would add a special touch to your nursery.
Last, but not least, this fun finger puppets wall hanging made of organic cotton and felt can dress any wall. We suggest hanging it over a changing table so your child can be entertained with puppets while you change her. You can even have it personalized if you want.
I have done a similar designing in my nursery facilities too. I am sure the kids just love it. How did you get these done though? Are a professional designer or is this just a hobby of yours

Nothing like earth tones and woodland themes to give a room that warm and cozy feel during the winter season!

That wallclock is cool. I couldn't even tell it's handmade.

It seems that trees and other wood elements are a fave in nurseries these days. That should explain why more than half of nurseries I see have tree wall decals.

That wall decal is really nice. But tree wall decals are kinda too common.

Picky Eaters: Are They Getting the Proper Nutrients?
My one-year-old son has suddenly changed from a child who eats everything to an extremely picky eater. He even refuses his once favorite foods! Thankfully, he eats fruits, vegetables and yogurt, but he won't eat most meats. Lately all he wants is whole-wheat toast with cream cheese. How can I be sure that he is getting the nutrients he needs?Question:
Sue Gilbert
Sue Gilbert works as a consulting nutritionist. For many years she worked with Earth's Best Organic Baby Food, integrating nutrition and... Read more
Your son's behavior is very normal for his age. Toddlers are typically wary of new foods. They also go on food "jags" where they seemingly eat only one thing.
A child's limited likes can be nutritionally adequate if they encompass all the food groups. To be sure that your child is getting sufficient nutrients, look to see if he is eating any one food group at the exclusion of another. For example, if, at the end of several days, you notice that he is filling up on bread while eating nothing with protein, make some adjustments to his diet. Since he doesn't like meat, try offering him other sources of protein, like cheese or yogurt.
Use the Food Pyramid as a guide. It will help you learn about the different food groups so you can properly assess your child's diet. And remember: The more familiar a food is and the more your child sees you eating it, the more acceptable it will become. Continue to offer your child his favorite foods along with the not-so-favorite ones, and eventually he will come to eat what the rest of the family is eating.Answer:

Mexico, our diverse neighbor to the south, is the third most populous country of the Western Hemisphere, ranking only behind the United States and Brazil. Although it is impossible to characterize an entire country with a selection of just five Web sites, today's tour is a sampling of Mexico's history, culture and geography.
Discovering Mexico5 stars
This National Geographic feature written by Michael Parfit highlights the challenges that Mexico faces today. "Mexico is struggling. This country, 756,000 square miles of deserts, forests, highlands, volcanoes, endless seashores, and trembling earth, populated by 95 million people, is classified in the jargon of world economics as a developing nation." Join Parfit as he flies from one end of the country to the other, or follow the seven daily dispatches of photojournalist Richard Olsenius as he explores Mexico City.
Mexico for Kids4 stars
"The Constitution calls our country the United Mexican States because it consists of thirty-one states and the Federal District, which have joined together to form a federation." Created by the office of the Presidency of the Republic of Mexico, this site introduces Mexican history, government, and biodiversity, and includes a page of current news (such as President's Bush recent visit.)
Mexico from Empire to Revolution5 stars
Based on two recent exhibitions at the Getty Research Institute, this site " presents nineteenth-century photographs suggestive of the romance and the reality of European imperial dreams in Mexico. Images of failed French attempts to establish an empire in Mexico in the 1860s are juxtaposed with images of the ruins of ancient empires." This summer the online exhibition will expand to "document Mexico's emergence as a modern, industrialized nation over the latter half of the nineteenth century, culminating in the tumultuous decade-long revolution that began in 1910."

Here's Miranda Kerr in the latest Victoria Secret's catalog, and there are so many things I'd do to her that I'm not even going to mention them here. I don't want you guys copying my moves. Then again, it took me four years to teach those penguins how to cover themselves in Crisco, so good luck pulling that one off. Ladies?
Miranda Kerr in a bikini
My boner just grew a boner.
Her eyes are too far apart and she looks manly.
What's wrong with a little shit on your dick? I just get the bitch to lick it off. No big deal women are essentially nasty creatures anyway and are not for keeps. There's always a better one in a bar. I like to humiliate women because other than for sex I really have no real use for most of them.
I had this one who hated it in the ass but she was hot and was really in love with me so she did it anyway and I would make her pay. I would fuck her long and slow and occasionally thrust her savagely until she would scream and I would make her beg me to come! Fucking worthless bitch.
I love women who don't like it. I always talk them into it and make them pay the price for their impudence. It keeps the mouthy slut in their place which is face down so you can't hear them.
Yea,that's one hot looking smoothie
boring. there is nothing interesting about her.
booyaka, do you know how I know that your gay?
She is very, very cute but needs some substance in that frail, childish body of hers. Men like to see curves. Women like to look up to natural-looking models. Children would be better admiring healthy looking women. She has the prettiest face, but lacks much the substance manly and lesbian dreams are made of.
She's a fuckin butterface…..look at how far apart her damn eyes are!! No lips,huge dimples, her head looks fucked up too. Are those fucking bags under her eyes??? No curves just a shapeless girl in a push up bra.
these women are good looking of course, but the pictures are also shamelessly photoshopped. no one looks like this.
The reason you have no use for women other than sex is because you're not into women, you fucking weirdo.. I only hope one day you find peace in the hot, hairy manly prison love you so obviously crave. And since you don't mind shit on your dick, you're halfway there already.
What's with all the haters? That chick is beautiful. She literally gets paid to stand around looking beautiful. Go eat another triple stack cheeseburger and pop some more zits in the mirror, jealous morons.
If your favorite sexual act is to fuck a woman the way gay men fuck, then you're gay. Sorry, no exceptions.
aw, she's pretty.
Cute body, face is ugly as sin. Shooped, too.
I give it a "meh."
She looks like Jesse from Toy Story 2. If you're into that kinda thing…
What's with all the retarded women saying that having sex makes somebody gay? What the fuck is this? Gay men have oral sex too. Does a guy enjoying oral sex makes him gay? What the fuck is with all this retarded gay double standard? How about, lesbian women enjoy oral sex. So, if you enjoy oral sex with a man, that actually makes you a lesbian? If that sounds retarded it's because it is – the same with the whole "anal makes you gay" notion.
Sheesh, people enjoy different things, and have different sexual preferences. Some like anal, some hate oral, some like domination, others are into group sex, others have foot fetishes, etc., whatever. Just because it's not something you're into or don't like it, you have to act like total assholes? Wow. I'm sorry, but you're retarded. Period.
A pedophiles legal wet dream.
you are all gay.
so is miranda kerr.
#115 – gay men have anal sex because neither has a vagina. If you have access to a vagina but you prefer to stick your cock in an anus instead, you should be with another guy. Only repressed homosexuals argue otherwise.
Umm, yeah, what's the Kardashian's doing all over this site? Boycotting you!
should it be so refreshing that she doesn't have a bellybutton piercing?
There's nothing wrong with anal you conservative repressed fridgets.
Knee Ya Ha Ha : So. My friend 'Frank' from 16th Floor come over.
I have on hand not much in way of snack, but – a little bit of popcorn.
Frank' from 16th Floor : Hi everybody. I'm over here at Knee's. He's on 17.
I'm down on 16. Oh. By the way Knee – Do you have any popcorn ?
Knee Ya Ha Ha : Right. "Frank'. I have a little bit of popcorn – no Jiffy-Pop – BUT – No transfat !!! New Orville Rickenbacker !!!
Comments ?
'Frank' from 16th Floor : Shit. Orville Rickenbacker. And No trans fat ? Unbelievable. Incredible.
It's about time I listened to you Knee. I wasn't really always listening before. Like…this….you know…when you say….
An 'inside' what …..?
Cliff Notes : Job.
she's awesome, I mean, at her age, she's still attractive to many people! you don't know how h ot models and sex y folks on _____Tallmingle.com_____ go cr azy about her act!! she's like kinda role model to many people there!!
All I know about anal is that mostly men with small penises like it. :P
she's awesome, I mean, at her age, she's still attractive to many people! you don't know how h ot models and sex y folks on ____Wealthydater.com_____ go cr azy about her act!! she's like kinda role model to many people there!!

that girl is insanelly skinny!
i´m not saying that´s a bad thing, but there´s absolutelly 0% meat in her body… she looks cute and all but what I don´t get is
how come THAT anorexic is HOT and lindsay lohan is corpse-like?
they´re about the same… except lilo has some nice natural tits
that´s all.
TELL ME, why ios this so "special" with americans?
The truth is maybe hard to take but almost NO AMERICAN fits a bikini, folks.
I would scissor her for days.
She needs some tits and a couple more years, then she may be hot.
She's definately 100x hotter than the First Monkey, Michelle Oboombox, pictured below:
@115 and Valerie
Exactly, never realised how much this annoys some people. I like to do everything, so I guess I'm what, bisexual, trisexual, who the fuck knows. My college days are behind me now, but they were a blast, and I've seen all sorts of shit. Just cause a girl enjoys anal doesnt mean she's fucked up – they all are!
My buddy's girlfriend used to hysterically cry during sex, but LOVED having sex, explain that one for me.
All I know is, the people that diss me and others about banging a chick in the ass are probably the same ones that think Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction.
@ Deacon Jones = luckiest bastard in the world. You've lived my fantasy.
I'm not into anal because my cock is too big for that, but I don't pass judgment on the guys who are really into it because they prefer the fit.
LOL. It was great. She was so hot
Uhm who cares what anybody else does to get theirs? I enjoy it once awhile, so does my man. We like it both.
I think you ass haters need a good lay or something. In the vagina of course. small minded.. why you all care what other people enjoy? Live and let live, nosy much?
I've never even had anal sex…but I find it absolutely ridiculous how ignorant and close-minded some people are (although I suspect the majority of these "anal is only for gays" posts are by the same person – no way there are that many idiots posting in this thread.) Seriously – have you ever heard anything so stupid? Having anal sex with a girl means you're gay and/or have an abnormally small penis? It's really difficult for me to accept that there are people this dumb walking amongst us – it's scary.
Well, my mans penis is above average..
and I know cuz I've seen and done a lot.
I think it's very ignorant to make statements about something you don't even know. If you don't do it, good for you. If you do, good for you! whatever works and doesn't involve children and/or animals :)
If it bothers you that people enjoy sex the way they like it, put your ivory tower up your ass and go stand on a soap box somewhere else.
It is amusing how "fat" people see "fit" people as having a child body. Her measurements are a fit sexy curvy 34-24-34. She practices a healthy lifestyle and it shows. Men like to see "fit curves" and not "fat induced curves" like Kim Kardasshian. The problems in US are there are more fat curvy women than fit curvy women, so men basically have to settle for the fat curvy females. The same goes for men, there are more fat men in the US than fit men. The US have the biggest people in the world!
Children need to learn how to practice a healthy lifestyle instead of overeating and not exercising. The US has a huge problem with overweight people because being fat causes the most health problems in the US. Instead of parents making excuses for their fat child; like my little Susie or Johnny are not fat; they are big boned or thick is only encouraging your child to continue to overeat. Americans stop the fat denial and start practicing a healthy lifestyle.
I've talk to many male and female friends and the male guys that like anal are basically immature and can't get into a real relationship. It is a power trip for them or they have gay tendencies. The female friends that have done anal only do it because of low self esteem and some eventually get use to it enough to act like they enjoy it.
Having a finger in your ass is a big difference from having anal sex. The bottom line is if you are into anal sex then you are either gay, into a male power trip or have issues. If you are female then you have issues. I have never seen loving and tender male/female anal sex porn because it is not meant to be gentle and tender. The same goes for gay sex; it is never tender or gentle with emotion; just a physical thing. There is nothing wrong with animalistic sex, but if this is the only way one can get off; then one has intimacy issues
131 is a troll–some pissed off whiny bitch–not me FUCK this site and its racist TARDS
Don't worry about #131 because ignorant people like her/him never vote and don't amount to much for society.
I respect your opinion, as it might apply to some, but the fact of the matter stands: most normal, mentally healthy guys enjoy anal sex because the ass cavity is way tighter and they have better orgasms. Most normal, mentally healthy girls who engage in anal sex do so because they know this, and they like to please their partner. Sex is all about give and receive. Then comes the time when the normal, healthy guy eats his girl's pussy until SHE cums. It's all a rich tapestry–you don't need to vilify ALL anal sex enthusiasts just from a preconceived prejudice and a lack of personal experience.
If you dislike it so much, why are you watching the related porn? There's alot of porn out there. Anal can be done gently with alot of tenderness. Sorry, if you don't like it don't do it. For fucks sake grow up already.
How old are your friends that you talk to about this subject? 15-16 sitting at the lunch table going "EEWWW! No Way! Ugh Why are the boys sooooo immmatuuree like I can't even believe it. I bet they're gay!"
Can you dorks quit fighting? I'm trying to climax….
W/E she's always in a bikini!
I like Valerie a lot. :wub:
I like Valerie a lot. :wub:
I'm heading out to happy hour. I'll call you after about 25 miller lite's and we'll test our theory out. Chow

"It was okay.. It tasted like the average picnic potato salad but with onions. I'm not a big fan of the onions but it was a pretty nice recipe."
"Nice but way too garlicly, I didn't like soaking them in butter, next time I'll use a brush. And my local pizza shops never put parmesan so next time I will omit. Not bad and they reheat nicely."
"It wasn't bad but way TOO much lemon juice. I do like the fact that you can taste all of the fruits in each bite. I did find the need to add extra salt. Next time I'll lessen the lemon juice and see how it comes out."
"OMG! OMG!! OMG!!! This was perfection and so easy to make. It took a little more effort to smooth the second layer on but that is what a spoon is for. It tastes so good that I ate some everyday for dessert. You'll probably have a little brown sugar mixture left over after sprinkling it on so you may want to just add the extra to make it a little s..."
"Very nice. I think it's better to use tri-color pasta because the balsamic vinegar will darken the white pasta. I did not add the pepperoni or provolone because I couldn't imagine that tasting good. But it was really good without!"
"Unclear directions but awesome recipe. Tastes JUST like Chinese spot! I will say that the sauce needs to be almost doubled to properly cover the chicken (so you may want to do that before coating it or it will be hard to add more sauce later)."
"I thought they were really good, amazingly I've never had Hooters' wings, but these were still really nice. My only complaint is the the amount of butter. Way too much, can be cut in half, at minimal."
"A lot easier than I thought it would be. A perfect dinner party piece. I only have three suggestions, 1) is to salt and pepper the chicken before filling and rolling, 2) use mallet to flatten it, and 3) DO NOT over-bake or u will have a very very dry chicken!"
"I like how easy it is. I like it a little more soupy so I added some water and a little additional taco seasoning. It tastes real taco-ey but it is taco soup after all. Not bad on the side of a starch like white rice or bread."

Summer can be challenging time in the garden when it comes to battling pest damage. Your first questions as a gardening are: What is this pest? What can I do to save my plants? We can help answer those questions!
Every garden contains bugs that can damage your crops as well as many beneficial bugs that feed on the garden pests. Our Garden Insects Guide — available free in the iTunes App Store and Google Play — will help you tell the bad bugs from the good bugs, and provide advice on how you can prevent damage from the pest insects and attract the beneficial ones.
In this digital resource, MOTHER EARTH NEWS gardening expert Barbara Pleasant profiles 15 of the most common garden pests, each accompanied by beautiful illustrations by Keith Ward.

MOTHER EARTH NEWS has entered the world of mobile media, and we'd like to have your input as we plan...
It's a drag that the e - guide is not available for people with computers and only people with cell phones.
Yeah !!! How about those of us who only have a desktop or laptop computer??? How do we get this "app" ????
SCromwell, thanks for your question! We think the Garden Insects Guide is a great way to access our best bug content on the go in one place, but we realize that not everybody has an app-friendly mobile device. For that reason, we've made much of the content available on our website here: organic-pest-control-series-zl0z1305zkin.aspx
What about those of us who do NOT have the devices the app is for? Are we to just never to have this info??? There has to be a way to get this info without purchasing the expensive devices the app is designed for . . . . :-(

Outdoor films are exciting, motivating and most of all, inspiring. These flicks connect outdoor enthusiasts of various generations through a shared experience – the love for adventure and the outdoors.
Viewing bears in nature is a magnificent experience, especially for photographers. These powerful, yet majestic, creatures seen in the natural environment is a once in a lifetime opportunity.
Cruising is known to be relaxing, restorative and luxurious. However, tour companies now offer smaller and more adventurous cruises for those who seek more than spa treatments and extensive buffets.
Outdoor pursuits are more than an adventurous escape. When all said and done, what was once an exciting reality turns into a fond memory. And these memories are usually captured via photography. Do something with your photographic memory this new year and submit your best shot

"Regard your soldiers as your children, and they will follow you into the deepest valleys; look on them as your own beloved sons, and they will stand by you even unto death."This commander cares deeply about his men and exhibits it constantly. A mentor to the officers under him, he takes a deep personal interest in their welfare and tries to keep them out of harm's way. He would never say, "We Have Reserves" (unless it would save more lives in the long run- but expect him to be torn up about it, though he may hide it almost perfectly—and certainly never to make him look better). Staff officers, engineers, and the Camp Cook will be treated with respect and made to feel as valued as the troops on the front line, though he'll not put up with bureaucratic nonsense. He will never lay claim to work actually performed by his subordinates, and will try to pass the credit to where it's due if it is misattributed to him. He will accept responsibility for any mistakes, even if it was not entirely his fault, especially if the failure would result in severe punishment for a subordinate. He often follows up by treating his subordinate's mistakes as Career Building Blunders. And when his subordinates actually die, he will make sure to remember all of their names and faces. Usually a military mastermind who disdains wave attack carnages and instead will plan so that his faction will have the least casualties possible. Strategic or tactical blunders are usually the fault of those above him or below him. His career is often handicapped or cut tragically short by the incompetent High Command, his true worth appreciated only by the men he commanded. Or at least, that's the impression he projects to the troops. This character generally cultivates a father-figure atmosphere. He is a source of morale, discipline and stability. Usually this is through a gentle reasoning tone, but sometimes he's a more strict (read harsh) father figure. In this instance expect a new soldier transferred to the unit to hate him, and for one of the older veterans to take him aside and tell a nice Pet the Dog story about the commanding officer. Sometimes all his soldiers are new; this will result in hatred until the soldiers either survive something that could have killed them, or accomplish a difficult objective, and realize that they would have died or failed without his strict training. He is often utilized more as a device after he has left the scene, as an idealized counterbalance to the incompetent who succeeds him. This is probably because he's far more effective as a saint, and it'd be hard to maintain such an image when he's actually coordinating operations, especially cursed with Hollywood Tactics like he is. Indeed, an officer who learns You Are in Command Now may find his troops are Losing the Team Spirit over this commander's death—though he can issue a Rousing Speech reminding them that the dead commander would be So Proud of You if they soldier on. Sometimes he's used to make the troops unhappy with their new commander, even if he is a good one- similar to the "You're Not My Mother" response given even to kind substitute authority figures. Other times he's a character who gets called in to deliver an Aesop after the soldiers mess up. Or he might be a mostly off screen character who gives the main characters a reason to try and do better, and to be embarrassed when they make a stupid mistake. When an enemy, he is often the Worthy Opponent or Friendly Enemy. If he's a subordinate, the Big Bad's lack of concern for his men may be a source of Mistreatment-Induced Betrayal. Despite the title and the use of a male pronoun, this trope is sometimes Gender Flipped. Most of the movie and TV examples in The Captain are of this type. Sister Trope to Officer and a Gentleman, and they may overlap. If he is a Blue Blood, he will not care that his soldiers are commoners. This often surprises other Blue Blood officers. Related to The Last DJ, Benevolent Boss. Compare Papa Wolf and the aforementioned Team Dad. See also The Patriarch and Reasonable Authority Figure. Contrast Sergeant Rock who is also super-competent, but his leadership style is nasty; The Neidermeyer who is nasty and incompetent; Drill Sergeant Nasty who is either competent or incompetent as the plot directs. The opposite of We Have Reserves.

A State of Mind
Why Israel must become secular and democratic. A memoir
By Ofra Yeshua-Lyth
Both evocative memoir and sober analysis, Ofra Yeshua-Lyths penetrating study … reviews the painful course by which the chains of religious orthodoxy from which the early Zionists sought to escape have become hanging cords, as Israeli Jews accept life in a homemade trap constructed from the dedication to expansionism and religious-nationalist domination that shatters aspirations for democracy and enlightenment.
July 2007
"…This is an exceptional literary composition combining autobiographical narrative with the enunciation of a bold ideological concept. The book excels above all in its honesty, its lucidity of expression and the original manner in which it answers the question implied in the book's sub-title" "How was political Zionism defeated by the Jewish religion?"
"I was able to identify with the human outlook emanating from every sentence in the book, and I recommend it for every reader who cares about our existence as a country, as a people and as a society in such a turbulent region as ours…"
"It is a long time since I have read such a serious work that combines personal recollections within a pool of collective experiences. This it does faithfully and skillfully."
Hebrew version by Nimrod Publishing House, 2004

If the SNAP unit is eligible for benefits, the person sanctioned is listed on Form 552 with a special code in Item 64 and Item 80. Code income in the usual manner with the sanctioned person's RIN.
Complete Form 683b. Use the person's income when determining eligibility and benefit level, but do not include the person in the number in the SNAP unit.
Impose the sanction using TA 31, TAR 76 to enter Item 80 code 242 FSWS. In ACM, enter the code 242 FSWS on the SANCTION INFORMATION screen, which follows the ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN screen when you enter TA 31, TAR 76. In IPACS, enter the code on PAGE 7, TANF GRANT COMPUTATION, under SANCTIONS.
The system sends Notice of Change - SNAP Work Sanctions Form 157F, with the correct message based on all these entries.
Code 242 is printed on Form 552 in Item 80 with the reason under PERSONS, the 4-digit date under TOTAL COST, the RIN above the reason and date, and the length of sanction under SUP BY. The code and field also appear on page 2 of the ACID clearance.
Currently the system is programmed to only allow entry of a 3 month sanction, regardless of the number of violations. The HSC must determine if it is a first, second or third violation. Use the information in the Food Stamp Work Sanction Inquiry System (PF 13).
Until system changes are complete, if a SNAP customer should be sanctioned for 6 months:
Cancel the case using TA 22, TAR 98. Entry of Item 80 code 242 information is required with this TAR and the sanction information passes to the Tracking Data Base.

Christchurch Hotels near Linwood
Linwood is an ethnically diverse inner city suburb, located right on the eastern edge of Christchurch Central City in New Zealand. Once home to wetlands with many rivers and streams, the area was used by the Māori for food gathering and hunting of grey duck, paradise shelduck, flounder, and lamprey eel. Linwood was established in 1850 and was one of Christchurch's first residential developments. The suburb suffered damage in the 2011 earthquake, but the approved Linwood Village Master Plan aims to rebuild the suburb as a lively urban village, with pedestrian areas, public spaces, street markets, and local businesses. ...

Linwood Top 3
- Browse the monthly market at the Linwood Community Arts Centre, held on the third Thursday morning of each month, to find interesting souvenirs, or stop by the Centre to see unique art exhibitions by local Christchurch artists.
- Take a walk along the Avon River—east to Christchurch's Cathedral Square or west to the estuary—and see lovely gardens, plant and animal life, and many punters.

Getting There
From the Christchurch International Airport, visitors can get to Linwood by shuttle, taxi, or rental car.

The following is a guest post from Jenna. Consideration was received for the editing and publishing of this post.
It's fairly easy to maintain a budget if you put forth the effort. Budgeting your money simply means that you are not spending more than you make. Ideally, you are adding a little to your savings each month, but for many Americans this is a hard feat to do. With wages not increasing as quickly as our cost of living, it is easy to understand that many of us are barely making ends meet.
By staying persistent, you can achieve financial freedom and the stress-free life that comes with that. In the meantime, I want to address an added anxiety many of us face sporadically through the year. Gifts that come with holidays, birthdays and the random housewarming party or graduation can put a strain on an already tight budget. It doesn't have to be this way.
Gifting for me can be a little bit easier because they often don't expect much and are pretty satisfied with the happy wishes. This may seem a little stereotypical, but sometimes stereotypes are pretty dead on. {Ed. note: In my experience, their expectations may be lower because their wishes are so expensive as to be unrealistic!}
Women on the other hand, frequently expect – or at least hope for – something from the heart. We don't necessarily need diamonds or other expensive presents to show that we have been in your thoughts on those special days where gifts are a natural part of the theme. We just want something that shows you care and that you took time out of your busy life for us.
Here are some simple gifting ideas that stay within your financial means to do exactly what we as women need to make an already great day even better:
The easiest way to achieve satisfaction is a card with a sincere message attached. This could be a message provided by Hallmark that expresses exactly what you are feeling in the moment or it could be a handwritten one. Either way, the smile on her face will let you know she appreciates the gesture.
Another idea is a gift basket. These are especially nice when they include items that your wife or girlfriend are fond of. They also work for THE most important woman in your life: your mom, you know, the person who gave you life. Shari's Berries baskets for mom specialize in gourmet cheeses, nuts, chocolates, teas and fruits and come in a variety of arrangements and prices. They work for Mother's Day, or any important day that is cause for celebrating a strong, devoted woman. As an extra bonus, there are coupons available online and they will ship the basket overnight.
My final idea that won't break the bank but will show her that you appreciate her is a plant or a beautiful bouquet of flowers. This may seem like an obvious one, but there is nothing that speaks to a woman more than beautiful flowers. This is my go-to gift for my mom on all holidays. I tend to lean toward the plant, as it is a gift that keeps on giving for months or even years to come. As cliché as it sounds, women love greenery even if they don't have the thumb to keep it alive.
There are many things you can do to show that special female in your life exactly how much you care. On an average day a simple thank you or I love you will go a long way, but on those special occasions we are almost obligated to take it a step further.
Staying within your budget is doable so long as you take the time and go about it the right way. Women are understanding individuals and will appreciate that while you couldn't afford the most extravagant gift, you did get her something that she loves. It doesn't matter if you are shopping for your wife, girlfriend, mother or daughter – women are fairly universal most of the time. There are always exceptions, but you can never go wrong so long as you go with something from the heart.

NORFOLK - A gas leak forced the evacuation of 35 people in Norfolk Commerce Park.
Capt. Mike Hicks with Norfolk Fire and Rescue says a contractor digging a trench using a pick ax severed a 1.25' line on Eltham Ave. before 9:00 a.m.
He added the the gas line was marked.
Virginia Natural Gas crews reached the value and shut off the flow of gas around 9:30 a.m. That allowed fire officials to go into the building to check gas levels.
The employees were allowed to return after the levels were deemed safe.

Monroe County health officials now say it's safe to go back into the water at the Luna Pier public beach.
Swimmers had been advised to stay out of the water at the Luna Pier beach over the Labor Day weekend due to persistently high levels of bacteria that could sicken them.
More samples were taken at the beach on Tuesday and the results from tests of them became known Wednesday afternoon, showing that bacteria counts were far below levels considered unsafe.
Chris Westover, director of the environmental health division, said the Tuesday samples will be the last sampling of beach water for the season.

Trap Door Theatre re-examines Camus' 'Regarding the Just'

◆ Through July 5
◆ Trap Door Theatre, 1655 W. Cortland
◆ Tickets: $20-$25
◆ (773) 384-0494;
Updated: July 7, 2014 6:17AM
Trap Door Theatre inhabits a tiny space wedged just behind Jane's Restaurant on a leafy little street in the Bucktown neighborhood. But in its thinking and aesthetics, the company (now in its 20th season, with more than 70 productions to its credit, and with artistic director Beata Pilch as tireless as ever) is located in a very different place.
That "other place" could be Poland, Romania, Hungary, Germany, Serbia or France — all countries in which Trap Door has worked. But mostly it is the state of mind that is different — intensely expressionistic, political, sexual, intellectual, philosophical, absurd and often downright outrageous. "Myth, ritual and revolution" are the theater's guiding buzzwords. Low budget but ultra-sophisticated is its guiding principle. And its actors might just possess the most heavily stamped passports in town.
The company's newest production is "Regarding the Just," translated by Pascal Collin and Nicholas Le Guevel from "Les Justes," the play by Albert Camus. It is being directed by Valery Warnotte, whose 2011 staging of Pierre Nottes's dysfunctonal family drama, "Me Too, I am Catherine Deneuve," was a huge success in Chicago, received support from the Cultural Services of the French Embassy, and toured to Atlanta, Ga., and Washington, D.C., before embarking on a monthlong tour of France.
Camus, author of "The Stranger" and "The Plague," was the Existentialist rock star of the mid 20th century. Born in then French colonial Algeria, he joined the French Resistance during World War II, received the 1957 Nobel Prize for Literature, and died in a car crash in 1960, at the age of 46.
Written in 1949, (the newly named) "Regarding the Just" is based on the true story of the Russian Socialist revolutionaries who, in 1905, assassinated Grand Duke Sergei Alexandrovich, son of Emperor Alexander II. A member of the group, Ivan Kaliayev, hurled a nitroglycerin bomb directly into the Duke's carriage. Camus used the story to explore the moral issues associated with murder and terrorism.
"I think Valery [Warnotte, the director] chose the play for us because he was inspired by our grungy, work-for-free style," said Nicole Wiesner, the veteran Trap Door actress who plays Dora, Kaliayev's former lover, who had trained in chemistry, served as the group's bomb-maker, speaks fondly of her life before joining the Party, but ultimately pledges to avenge Kaliayev's death.
Said Wiesner: "Camus asks: What is the difference between a revolutionary and a terrorist? What is justified and what is unjust? If you're fighting for something you really believe in, are you still a terrorist?
"The first time Kaliayev [played by Antonio Brunetti] attempts to pull off the assassination, he cannot throw the bomb because he sees the carriage contains the Grand Duke's young nephew and niece. A fellow revolutionary is disgusted by this, but the others in the group take Kaliayev's side, saying that killing children would harm their cause.
"Our adapters have really worked to make the play more accessible to American actors and audiences. We tell the story and comment on it. At times we turn to the audience and say: 'Do you see why we feel like this? Did we make the right choice?' I think this also has freed us of the feeling that our French director might be commenting on us as Americans. And the characters are neither all good nor all bad. But the most important thing is that we want the play to feel as if it is unfolding now. Most of the Russian references have been excised, so instead of saying things like 'Russia will be beautiful," we say 'the world will be beautiful'. And we dress in timeless, blue-collar clothes."
NOTE: A special benefit performance of "Regarding the Just" will be held at 7 p.m. on June 7, with dinner at Jane's Restaurant, and an after-party. Admission is $125.

In Earlier days, Getting traffic to website was much easier than what it is now, People tends to write contents and simply publish them to their blog, After they just sit back n watch bunch of visitors coming their way. But nowadays it is probably tough to get visitors because of a heavy competition out there for them. So, in this article i am revealing the way to get traffic directly through search engines.
At the first you can try making a robot. txt file and having it placed in the root directory. This will keep search engines from gaining access to the files you choose not to display. And try to submit sitemap to webmaster tools it can be in a xml/html format.
To get the best results when optimizing your site for search engines, you will need to learn how to write in SEO style. This involves keeping your writing fluid, but using keywords repeatedly. If your chosen keywords and phrases are found throughout your page, you'll find that the search engines will rank you highly for those terms.
Spiders do not recognize session id names or dynamic language, so make sure you're aware of this as you create URL's for your different web pages. Put relevant keywords and meaningful names in your URLs to help the spiders.
Don't use dynamic queries if you can avoid it. A URL like http://www.mysite.com?sid=100&mode=q may not even be indexed. Therefore, you should come up with a relevant name for each URL. It is also important to include a keyword, as well.
To hide something, create a robots. txt file and having it placed in the root directory. This will not let the search engine find certain things that are on your website.
Position yourself as an authority in your niche. Utilize your expert qualifications for the purpose of creating a successful Internet marketing program. Design your website around a certain niche, and use SEO techniques to drive those potential customers to your site so they can buy your products and services. It's essential that, through it all, you are giving your clientele exactly what they want, instead of your best guess on their desires.
"Alt" tags are crucial when adding image links to your site. Alt tags display to visitors if they have chosen not to view images on your site. The page's ranking will be improved, because search engines can index and read alt tags. And for major tags just go for long tail keywords to avoid get caught in Google algorithms.
Your site should be simple to read. Your site should be clear and concise so that it will rank higher. This is excellent for both your readers with impairments and disabilities, and your search ranking, as well.
It's important to make sure that each picture on a website has an "alt" tag. Alt tags are basically a substitute for the image. This text is used if a visitor has chosen not to allow images. The important factor is that search engines read and index alt tags, so keywords included in these tags will improve page ranking.
It is essential to regularly add new content and publish fresh articles. Stick to a weekly goal that you can keep up with. The more content you pump out, the more often search engines will index your site. Those sites with new content posted regularly earn higher page rankings.
As stated in the article's introduction, SEO really boils down to finding the right search keywords and using them effectively. Utilizing those words within your website causes the search engine to send those doing searches, to websites that include those keywords as part of the site. This article can help you to learn the most effective use of keywords.

Getting to know UNIX and Linux
Look here.
I first started programming computers in 1978, using FORTRAN IV and assembler on the high school's PDP-11 minicomputer (which, unfortunately, ran RSX-11, not UNIX). Professionally, I've primarily been a software developer, technical trainer/teacher, and writer. I also make presentations at Linux and Free and Open Source Software conferences from time to time. I hold a BSc(Hons) in Computer Science and a BA in Psychology.
In the past, I've worked for various companies and organizations, including:
Currently, I'm a freelance consultant and trainer.
My exposure to UNIX came in bits and pieces; I first encountered UNIX culture a few years before I actually met UNIX itself.
While I was doing my first (Computer Science) degree, I was introduced to regular expressions via chef, a prettied-up version of the early UNIX editor, ed, which had been ported to the PRIMOS system at the university. (At the time, PRIME Computer was a significant manufacturer of minicomputer hardware, and a notable competitor to Digital.) At the same time, I met Robert Biddle, then a graduate student fresh from the University of Waterloo. Waterloo had a fairly famous Computer Science department (it was the home of WATFOR, a popular FORTRAN compiler of the day), and was much closer to the UNIX wave that was then sweeping academia than New Zealand computer science departments, where UNIX had still to make a widespread appearance. Robert told intriguing stories of UNIX, C, and Ratfor.
The next step on the way to meeting UNIX came when I met emacs after taking up a position teaching Computing at the University of Technology ("UNITECH"), in Lae, Papua New Guinea. Although emacs is nowadays most often associated with UNIX, it ran on many other operating systems as well, and so my second meeting with a "UNIX" editor was once more on a PRIMOS system. (Once upon a time, I could hack up reasonable LISP macros for emacs, but when I left PNG, I didn't see emacs again for several years, and forgot most everything; and, until recently, I generally stuck to vi(m). Lately, driven by the need to work on large LaTeX/Beamer presentations and maintain my sanity, I've relearned the joys of emacs.)
In 1987, I finally met UNIX and C in person. After a spell of traveling (along the way having the foresight to pick up an academic edition of Kernighan and Ritchie's The C programming Language in New Delhi), I ended up in England. There, a friend studying at the University of Sussex had access to a suite of HP Bobcat workstations running HP/UX, and the university library had a copy of the first edition of Marc Rochkind's wonderful Advanced UNIX Programming. For the next few weeks, I was glued to the workstation with AUP, K&R, and a printed copy of the C shell man page at my side, writing a multitude of scripts and programs to test how things work. By the end of that time, I'd acquired a reasonable understanding of UNIX, C, and shell scripting.
Soon afterward, I got a job at Digital Equipment Corporation (UK), which brought me back to VMS. VMS was in many ways a nice operating system, but after exposure to UNIX scripting, returning to DCL (the FORTRAN of command languages) was a chore. Later, I moved into the training branch of Digital, where I was the founding member of what soon became a small, tight group of ULTRIX trainers in VMS land. I specialized in system programming training, and traveled quite a bit around Europe running system programming courses for Digital employees and customers.
A return to New Zealand, a second degree (Psychology plus a good measure of Art History, which gave me a lot more practice writing), and a short spell working on MS Windows applications took me away from UNIX for a few years. I first got interested in Linux when I picked up some Slackware CDs in the mid-1990s, but didn't do any serious work again with it until the late 1990s, when I moved to Munich, where my first job was at a company whose infrastructure was entirely Linux-based. Since then, all of my day jobs have employed Linux.
Soon after I began using Linux in earnest, I noticed errors and deficiencies in the system call and library function man pages. Eventually, I started sending notes, and then patches to the maintainer of the man-pages project, Andries Brouwer. When, in 2004, after more than 9 years as maintainer, Andries retired from the project and asked me to take over maintainership of the project, I accepted.
Under my maintainership, man-pages acquired changelogs, a version control system (initially, with man-pages-2.00, a private instance of Subversion; later, starting with man-pages-3.10 in Sep 2008, a public Git repository), an occasional blog (started in Oct 2007), a web site (created in Nov 2007), a mailing list (activated Nov 2007), a set of online pages updated (since Nov 2007) with each release, and a clear description of how to contribute.
As of man-pages-3.69 (June 2014), I've made a total of 151 releases of man-pages. I'm also the author or coauthor of more than 300 of the 950+ pages in the project. Working on man-pages is much more than writing documentation: any useful documentation involves spelunking in the kernel and glibc source code, a lot of testing (the list of kernel bugs I've found while testing kernel and glibc interfaces is getting quite long), and review and critique of the design of new and proposed interfaces.
(Photo credit: Lynley Cook)
Most of my work on man-pages has been on a private basis, and though documentation is a task dreaded by many, some people like what I do: conference paper selection committees seem to favor presentations on documentation and interface testing and design review; I've four times been invited to the Linux Kernel Developers Summit; and for a while in 2008-2009, I was a paid Fellow of the Linux Foundation, working full time on the project.
I'm a New Zealander, but have lived in quite a few places around the world, including Papua New Guinea, England, Switzerland, the USA (California), and for a short while Colombia (no, not DC). These days, I'm living with my wife and daughter in Munich, Germany. While I miss spending more time in New Zealand, Germany—Munich in particular—is a great place to live.
Nowadays, family takes up most of my non-work time. Before the arrival of my daughter, I used to be able to participate in informed critical discussions of a wide range of contemporary films, but these days I manage to get to the cinema only a handful of times a year.
And before I had to spend so much time reading my own book, I used to love reading other peoples' books (mainly history, biography, popular science, literary fiction, and some genre fiction). Now that my book is finished, that situation already starts to get better.
Other than the above, my interests include photography and travel (I come from an island and have visited quite a few others; I've also traveled in all continents except Antarctica).

AusAid donates 3D disaster map of Manila to NDRRMC
Almost two years after the destructive typhoon Ondoy wrought havoc on Metro Manila, the country can now be more prepared for similar disasters thanks to a high-resolution geohazard map granted by the Australian government to the Philippines.
Under a P260 million grant awarded by the Australian Government Overseas Aid Program (AusAID) and Geoscience Australia, a high-resolution 1,300-square kilometer map of Metro Manila has been turned over to the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) and the National Mapping and Resource Information Authority (NAMRIA) on Friday.
Sophisticated LiDAR technology
The mapcreated through a sophisticated imaging process called Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) technology, which uses laser beams to capture a three-dimensional model of the capitalwill be used in conjunction with the disaster risk reduction efforts of the government.
While having a map does not guarantee zero casualties during disasters, Presidential Adviser on Environmental Protection Nereus Acosta said it will help in better management of the government's disaster risk reduction efforts.
"How can you manage that which you cannot measure? This can be used for measuring. How can you monitor effectively that which you cannot map?" Acosta said.
Mapping surface elements is essential
Compared with existing digital maps owned by the government, which were captured using other technologies such as satellite imagery, the LiDAR maps are more detailed in that they not only capture the topography of the area, but also the various surface elements as well.
Dr. Andy Barnicoat of Geoscience Australia stressed that this is a crucial factor in geohazard mapping, since elements such as buildings, trees and houses are factors in accurately depicting risk in a particular disaster situation.
"Accurate data is needed in building models for different scenarios and simulations," Barnicoat pointed out while showing the audience at a press briefing how water from a local tsunami is often contained by tall buildings.
Further work with NAMRIA, others
The almost 0.5-terabyte LiDAR data set given to the government, however, cannot be used for upcoming disasters just yet, Barnicoat clarified. "It still needs further work to extract relevant data, a process which will be undertaken by NAMRIA and other agencies," he explained.
Once the three-year project has been firmly established, local governments can use data from the LiDAR maps to effectively carry out simulations of strong winds, flooding and earthquake scenarios in their respective areas.
This is especially helpful in crafting disaster-mitigation and prevention procedures in risk-prone cities, according to Barnicoat, as it "enhances the capacity [of decision-makers] to understand the behavior and likely impacts of disasters in their cities."
The project, however, is just the initial phase of a broader disaster risk-reduction development assistance program from the Australian government, which is carried under the banner BRACE program.
Pilot test case in Taguig
Proponents of the umbrella program have picked out Taguig City, one of the burgeoning cities in Metro Manila, as a pilot test case to implement other phases of the program, which include flood risk modeling, impact and risk assessment from severe wind, earthquake risk modeling and information education campaign.
"The key challenge is taking the information from the LiDAR survey and translate that to a concrete understanding of disaster risk," said Andrew Egan of AusAID. "In Taguig, there would be interventions that would use the data to better inform local communities."
Using data generated from the high-resolution maps, Egan said they will work with the Taguig City government to improve land use planning, crafting early warning systems, and relocation of at-risk informal settlers to safer settlements in other parts of the city.
Egan said they chose Taguig because it is one of the few cities in Metro Manila which is still under early development with a significant amount of land that can be used for housing.
"It will be a lot more difficult to carry this out in some other more congested city in Metro Manila. When you apply mapping data, part of it is looking at land use within the area, so this could also influence building codes in the city," he explained.
Once the project has garnered success in Taguig, Egan said they will look into eventually rolling out the same programs in other parts of Metro Manila, or even around the country.

Govt receives P19-billion bid for FTI complex
Business World
A P19-BILLION OFFER for Food Terminals, Inc. (FTI) has been received by the Privatization and Management Office, a Cabinet official yesterday said.
A company has offered P19 billion for FTI. It will be subjected to a Swiss challenge once the president approves it, Finance Secretary Cesar V. Purisima told reporters at the sidelines of ongoing budget deliberations at the Senate.
Mr. Purisima declined to name the bidder or identify whether it was a listed property firm.
Well publish it at the right time, he said, adding that FTI would be sold, not leased.
The P19-billion bid is significantly higher than the P13-billion asking price announced when the government put FTI on the market. The 103-hectare property is the centerpiece of the governments 2011 privatization program. Located in Taguig City, it is described as one of the largest industrial complexes in Metro Manila.
Various property firms have expressed their intention to bid for the property, including Ayala Land Inc., Robinsons Land Corp. and Empire East Land Holdings, Inc. Filinvest Land, Inc. is the latest to throw its hat into the ring.
FTI has already been put on the auction block but the government has been unable to find serious buyers. Sale plans were scrapped back in 2009 and 2010 due to unfavorable market conditions.

I've been to parco. It's nice and spacious...kaso parang kulang lang un variety ng stalls nya. Overall, not bad.
Also, Puregold near the City Hall is now 70 to 80% complete.

Will do.
I plan to go to Loyola Sucat this Saturday via the eastern roadways.
C6 from Napindan to Bicutan
ML Quezon road from Bicutan to Sucat
I've plotted it on Google Earth and it looks doable @ 27 kms.

A year ago rumors were circulating that DLSU intends to get a parcel of that FTI lot for their new campus. Given that it's prime property I doubt La Salle will get any portion of it, but I hope Ayala donates another parcel of land (similar to DLSZ) if they win the bid.

Take this warning though, during the rainy season, the final 250 meters leading up to the foot of the C6-Napindan bridge gets overly muddy (dirt road po itong dulong stretch nung kalye, wala yatang pera ang Taguig para pa-sementohan yun!). The worst that happened to me is being stuck on the mud I had to get off the bike and just walk my way up to stiffer grounds with each step a burden having to pull your feet up from the mud where it sinks on every step. Hayyy. During the dry season naman, the cement factories around Elisco fills the road with a layer of dust that easily flies into the air, clouding it.
That's the route I am taking from Sta. Mesa to Angono and Binangonan, Rizal by bicycle! I'll draw it on Google Earth together with alternate routes and notes about those alternate routes (alternate routes to follow, plot ko muna yun sa Google Earth)
I saw your Tambo route on the MoA thread too, which I also use frequently before when birdwatching on the Bulungan Market.
Would you like to go biking with me one of these days? There's this lakeside park in Angono, Rizal which we could go into passing that route of Elisco-Napindan-C6-Floodway and then Taytay-Angono Coastal Road.
By the way, underneath that C6 bridge in Napindan is a "talipapa" where I used to buy "Ulang", yung hipon na galing freshwater at hindi dagat tapos may malaking sipit na kulay blue mukhang cross between hipon at lobster, 230 lang per kilo yun a few months ago, perfect for sinigang na hipon lalo na at mas matamis ito kasi hindi sa tubig-alat nanggaling, I've tried it for ginataan too and it's also good. I just make sure that aling tindera gives me three additional plastic bags kasi sa dami ng mga lubak at humps na madadaanan pabalik ng Sta. Mesa eh unti-unting nabubutas ng sipit ng ulang yung supot.

Thanks for the info! I was actually thinking of biking to the Angono Antenna/Petroglyphs something. I think that's a shorter way compared to taking Ortigas. Maybe on Nov. 1 or 2.
Here's my route from Guadalupe to Napindan
and here is my route from C6 to Loyola Sucat

Finished my ride Mandaluyong to Loyola Sucat via C6 and back via Makati CBD = 49kms.
- Guadalupe to Napindan via Elisco and Labao is nice. Except for a flooded part of Elisco. Mud and water on the streets.
- C6 is slowly deteriorating. Ruts on the southbound sides of the roads.
- Cars going at >60kph suddenly taking the opposite lane to avoid the ruts are accidents waiting to happen.
- C6 is too long, too dusty, to gravelly. Not excited to go there again.
Looking over Labao...
Looking over Arenda
The long dusty road south...Daang Matuwid.
Singit ko lang...Barangay Sucat lakeside park looking over NAPOCOR Power Plant. Nice.

Nice @Gundam168. I noticed you arrived at C6 around 8-9 am judging from the shadows in the pic so you may not have noticed that Labao doesn't have streetlights a few hundred meters before approaching C6. I usually pass Labao before dawn so I know how dark the area is just before you get to C6. Its a wonder the area doesn't seem to be crime prone, and yes, I'm still alive despite passing there by bicycle in the dark several times before, but I wonder if the Taguig city government is just waiting for someone to get killed before they install proper street lighting there. The lack of pavement in that area doesn't help as well, imagine biking in the dark and on dirt (or on mud if it rained the night earlier) and you'll know how it can be a nightmare to walk there by foot during the night.
I'm not exactly complaining for myself as I am not a Taguig City resident and there are better routes which I can take but I can't help comparing the stark contrast between the developed and under-developed areas of Taguig. Surely the residents of the area deserve better than a dirt road without street lights.
