The recipes on the site are a combination of my own creations, along with inspiring and tasty recipes that I have discovered from other chefs and cookbooks along the way. There are so many amazing cooks and resources out there, I don't think there's any shame in using another recipe if it works well. Some culinary gems are not worth reinventing!
You will currently find a lot of vegetarian recipes, although I am actually a carnivore. I have only just broken the meat-on-Sunday tradition, but I eat a lot less meat than I used to for financial, health and environmental reasons. But carnivores – don't despair! There will be more meat recipes to come!
If you do try any of the recipes, or simply have any comments or questions, then I'd love to hear from you. If you have a specific cooking question, then I'd be delighted to help. Just ask me….

Lawmakers Prepare to Close Session
DES MOINES, Iowa (CBS 2/Fox 28) -- As the end of the legislative session draws near, Gov. Terry Branstad is pushing lawmakers to keep some of his priorities in mind.
Branstad began the session with four priorities: reducing bullying in schools; expanding programs for veterans; extending broadband and Internet access to rural Iowans; and increasing funding for apprenticeships.
All those efforts remain, alive but none been approved.
Senate and House leaders say adjournment could come next week, meaning lawmakers must work quickly if the proposals are going to be approved and sent to the governor.

EW's favorite Rodney Dangerfield moments
He's lewd. He's crude. He starred in Ladybugs, but we still love him. With apologies to the comedic, hip-hop stylings of ''Rappin' Rodney,'' here are the four essential Dangerfield delights.
Caddyshack (1980)
The movie that propelled Rodney from stand-up to star. In a film full of comedic heavyweights (Bill Murray, Chevy Chase, Ted Knight), Dangerfield steals the show as snob buster Al Czervick. ''Oh, this is the worst-looking hat I ever saw. What, when you buy a hat like this, I bet you get a free bowl of soup, huh...? Oh, it looks good on you, though.'' A
No Respect CD (1980)
Respect is due. This 40-minute assault of classic one-liners won the Grammy for Best Comedy Recording. Dangerfield disses his wife, his kid, and -- of course -- himself. The back cover picture of Rodney getting peed on by a dog says it all. BEST LINE ''At my age I want two girls at once. If I fall asleep they got each other to talk to.'' A-
Back to School (1986)
Dangerfield shows off his Triple Lindy as a millionaire businessman who enrolls in college to be with his son in this goofy campus comedy. Rodney's scream-off with Sam Kinison alone is worth it. BEST LINE ''Bring a pitcher of beer every seven minutes until somebody passes out. And then bring one every 10 minutes.'' A-
Natural Born Killers (1994)
An inspired piece of casting led to Rodney playing Juliette Lewis' foulmouthed, sexually abusive father in Oliver Stone's brutal and bizarre love story. A shocking and equally powerful turn for the lovable loser. BEST LINE ''All right, f -- -face, now I'm going to take your eye out and show it to you.'' (That's honestly the least disturbing one we could find.) B+

Medical marijuana dispensary review: Cross Genetics in Denver
Eight years ago, seven strangers were picked to live in a converted meat-market bar in Lower Downtown and have their lives videotaped -- and they found out what happens when people stop being polite and start being really, really bad at acting like they aren't in a reality-TV show.larger photo below.
I'm speaking, of course, of the Real World: Denver -- something I hadn't thought about since MTV's crew packed up and everyone quit talking about the whole thing. But something about Cross Genetics brought it flowing back to me.
Cross GeneticsIt's the type of shop the cast of Real World: Denver would have shopped at, complete with a starkly modern design in what was once an old throwaway building, fist-pumping EDM house music, and muscle-bound budtenders who look like they've collectively spent more time on a weight bench than lighting a bowl.2160 S. Broadway
Denver, CO 80210
Cross-Genetics.comHours: 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Saturday, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday.
Raw marijuana price range: $23-$33/eighth-ounce, $$150-$200/ounce.
Other types of medicine: BHO, edibles, tinctures, lotions, drinks.
Online menu? No.
Handicap-accessible? Yes.
The throwaway building in question is a former 7-Eleven on South Broadway. And while the shop's owners have done a good enough job of blacking out the front windows and creating a roomy and generic waiting room where the racks of magazines and junk food used to be, a 7-Eleven is a 7-Eleven; the strangely iconic building shapes can never truly be hidden away.
The shop also kept the convenience-store's huge walk-in fridge and freezer along the back wall of the shop, viewable once you get back to the bud bar. Like the front windows, the entire wall of glass doors has been tinted.
The glass cabinets containing the bud are set up along the back wall, where a 7-Eleven usually keeps the Slurpee machine, nacho cheese/chili pump and a rack of random auto parts and supplies. Edibles are kept in a glass counter opposite the main bud bar in a smaller display.
Prices flash by on flat-screens hung up behind the budtenders' heads. Herb is broken down into three sections spread out across the bud bar, with low-priced herb about fifteen feet away from the highest-priced herb in a completely different cabinet -- and half the time, another patient was standing in front of the middle cabinet, blocking my access. Splitting the supply up into three equal bud stations would be a far better use of CG's space and patient time.

The Applied Behavior Analyst Certificate Post-Master's Program is a one year, 15-credit program with an optional 6-credit practicum. Please note: students can choose to complete this program at their own pace. It is not a requirement that it be completed in one year; however, it is expected that students will complete this program on a timely basis.
It is offered under the direction of the UMass Dartmouth Psychology Department and courses are approved by the Behavior Analyst Certification Board® (BACB®). The certificate program meets the course content requirement to sit for the BACB® exam. Applicants should be familiar with the BACB® standards.
The BACB® requires applicants to complete 1500 hours of supervised fieldwork placement in behavior analysis. If students are not employed with an agency that provides appropriate fieldwork supervision, then they can enroll in the three 2-credit ABA Fieldwork Seminars based on space availability. If a student completes these Seminars, then the number of required placement hours is reduced to 1000.

Facts, Identification & Control
Latin Name
Order Amphipoda
Amphipods belong to an order comprised of over 7,000 species, their habitats, characteristics and feeding habits vary. Most members of the amphipod species have flat bodies with large, compound eyes on the sides of their heads. The majority of amphipods utilize a defense mechanism known as a tail flip, wherein they use their abdomens to propel themselves away from a predator.
Adult amphipods range from 5 to 20 mm in length.
Behavior, Diet & Habits
All amphipod species prefer moist habitats. Amphipods that live in water are primarily white, although some may also exhibit light brown, green, dark brown or black coloration. Most amphipods become red in color when they die. Amphipods can thrive in marine settings and on moist land. Other species are found in home gardens and beneath flowerpots.
Some amphipods are herbivores, while others are carnivores. Sand-, mud- and moist-soil-dwelling amphipods feed on bacteria. Other species are scavengers that feed on dead plants and animals.
Females lay their eggs inside a brood pouch where they remain until they hatch. Immature amphipods look like miniature versions of the adults. While most amphipod females produce a single generation of offspring, there are species that can produce several generations within a five-month period.
Signs of an Amphipod Infestation
There is only one main sign of amphipods: the amphipods themselves. They may be encountered in moist damp areas outside of the home or potentially inside after heavy raining periods where the soil and ground cover become saturated.

Paws n'Silk Travel Bed Review
Disclosure: I received this product for free to review . The opinions in my review are honest and my own.
I know it sounds crazy but we are constantly traveling with Reya. We bring her to New Jersey with us, to the other side of Kentucky, and plan to bring her cross country out west with us at some point. When we travel, she is happy to spread across the back seat and make herself at home, even during long twelve to fifteen-hour drives. The problem we usually have is not the car ride, but once we get to the hotel. She feels uncomfortable not having a piece of home with her. While we bring toys, she misses her bed and the comfort of having her toys right on it when she's ready to relax. Since she is a big girl now (all 80 pounds of her), we can't exactly throw her bed in the car since it would take up most of the trunk. To make things easier, I went on a mission to find the perfect pet bed for her that was great for traveling and would make her feel better when we are on the go. When I finally found the perfect bed, I was surprised to see that it was made by Smart Silk's pet division – Paws n'Silk!
With how much I loved their pillows, I knew I had to get this bed for Reya. To my surprise, they were happy to send this bed out to me for review, as long as Reya gave it the full puppy test! While I was a bit nervous, I knew we were up for the challenge and I can't tell you how excited we both were when her Paws n'Silk Travel Bed arrived in the mail!
Paws n'Silk: Who Are They
Are you looking for a company that makes all natural, durable beds that are perfect for even the most spoiled of dogs? If so, you will love Paws n'Silk! While there are other companies who claim to be all natural, Paws n'Silk is the only one that that uses all natural cotton and silk to create the perfect luxury bed for our favorite furry friend. Each of their products are made from chemical-treatment free, 100% breathable cotton and long stranded grade A tussah silk, making them just as luxurious as the Smart Silk products enjoyed by humans. As well, all of their beds and apparel are made with a barrier against allergens, dust mites, and pet danger, making them perfect for even dogs with allergies! Once you have seen their high quality pet products, you will wonder why you waited so long to purchase their products for you favorite dog!
Paws n'Silk Travel Bed: Ease of Use
When I first opened the box for my Paws n'Silk Travel Bed, I thought the company must have sent me the wrong size bed. There was no way such a large bed would fit in such a small box. Once I opened the box, however, I found the neatest surprise – it came in its own paw-designed duffle bag! Everything for the bed neatly folds up into the bag, making it perfect for travel and storage. I was even more surprised with how easily this bed could be put together, taken apart, and was still looks amazing. While the bed isn't the easiest to put in the bag after use, it is possible, making it great for traveling with just about any size dog. As you can see, this is the largest bed and it easily fits inside the duffle bag, giving you an idea of just how compact and convenient this bed could be for every dog owner. As well, once you get home from the trip, you can throw the entire bed in the wash and dry it in the dryer. While this may not sound like a huge deal, many of the beds on the market can't be machine washed, making them something you toss unless you want a giant mess on your hands (or in your washer).
Paws n'Silk Travel Bed: Comfort
Of course, at the end of the day, only one thing matters with a dog bed – is your dog happy and comfortable on the bed? I have tried out many pet beds in the past, and Reya is very quick to get rid of anything she doesn't feel lives up to her standards (in Petsmart, when she was about four months old, she actually kicked most of the beds aside until we found her puppy Kong bed). I considered it a great sign when Reya not only went directly to the Paws n'Silk Travel Bed, but only got up to bring more toys over to the bed to make herself at home. She absolutely LOVED this bed! Whenever this bed is out, she wants to immediately go to it, and claim it as hers. As well, dogs can enjoy the same comforts as their humans who use Smart Silk pillows. Each of these beds are made to be all natural, chemical free, resistant to mold, resistant to odor, breathable, and temperature resistant, making it the perfect bed for any pup!
Paws n'Silk Travel Bed: Durability
Now, as a large dog owner, one of the things I always focus on is durability when it comes to beds. To me, one of the biggest deal breakers with any bed is that terrible, black no-slip coating they put on the bottom of every bed. Well, someone forgot to tell my dog it isn't a chew toy, since this is the first thing she checks with every bed and if it's there, she will rip it to shreds in less than 48 hours. I am happy to report, however, that the Paws n'Silk Travel Bed has the same durable fabric all over the bed and doesn't cut corners! This bed is designed for even the roughest of dogs, making it perfect for even large, curious dogs like mine.
Paws n'Silk Travel Bed: Overview
I don't think I can tell you just how much I love this travel bed. I have seen other travel beds before but nothing like this dog bed. I love that it easily comes apart and fits in its own compact bag for travel, making it ideal even for trips when you barely have room in the car for anything. Most importantly, however, I love that Reya adores this bed. We had this bed out in the living room for testing and she won't leave it alone. She has been carrying all of her toys over to this bed and nuzzling against the soft sides. Based on our own experience with the Paws n' Silk 3 Bolster Travel Bed, we are happy to give this bed an A+ rating and highly recommend it for anyone who is constantly on the go with their pup!

This is a wonderful dog or cat bed .When we travel it would be so nice to have a bed that folds up for the tirp like this ones does. I like the style of the bed too looks great for a xmas gift for friends with pets.
What a great product and alternative to the doggies sleeping in the bed with you.
This would be perfect for my son, as he has a service dog now after being injured in Afghanistan, so the Dog Travels with him wherever he goes! Thanks for this!
That's a nice travel bed. I need it for when my sapiens take me on vacation. My next trip is hopefully a repeat to Lake Tahoe.
This is a great product it is nice that your dog can have a bed when traveling. The travel bag is nice to it is great way to keep it handy when traveling.
I really like that it is foldable and easily packed with you. It would be so nice to use this for when we go to my parents house, she won't try to get on their furniture, thank you:)
What a great idea for us: our cat is a world traveller and the only "me" space he has at our destinations is his carrier (or my suitcase!). It would be so nice for him to have his own cozy spot!
If we were travelling, our dogs would love this. Thanks for the info.
I love the fact that they are all natural. My dog Deckard always sleeps on a bed. I just recently found that more and more places allow dogs. Showboat Casino iin A.C. is a recent addition to the list. What's great is between labor day and memorialdogs are allowed on the beach.
That is so cool! We need to get one for our dog.
I really like how you can take it with you in the little travel bag and throw it in the washer when it gets dirty. I could really use this for my dogs as we travel back and forth from Arizona to Iowa each spring and fall.
Great for our new family member!
I can see three cats wanting one of these for themselves.Cleo especially loves to curl up on a soft blanket. I believe she would love this the most!
We have 2 dogs and they quite often travel with us. I love that you can pack this bed up and take it anywhere! At home, the boys have to share one bed, so I'm sure they would love to have an extra one. Thanks for the review!
What a great travel bed! This would be so helpful with people who help driving pets to new homes. I've done that before and it was very fulfilling to help those dogs go from NY to TX !! especially because the owner had to move that far to get away from an abusive relationship. that one hits home for me so I am always ready to help. This would also be good for no kill shelters. Oh if I could buy a million I could help so many! thank you

This would be great for our 3 cats, we don't have much $$, fingers crossed, thx for the great opportunity!!
This really sounds like a good bed; I've never found one that my Pit Bull/Boxer doesn't almost immediately destroy.
Aw! Clearly dog approved! I really like the bag, as it looks so easy to transport.Such a great way to help a pet feel at home while traveling.
What a smart idea! I think my cat will be coming out to my parent's for Christmas and it would be nice for him to have a little piece of home to calm his nerves!
These beds look really nice.I would love to have these for my 4 dogs,sure they would be very happy too.Great job on this review.Thank you for the info.
I really like the style of this bed. I have five Treeing Walker Coonhounds, so we don't tak them with us on trips very often (I mostly go out-ot-town on weekends about once every 1-2 months with my daughter), but I DO take the dogs with me in my mini-van when I have to drive long distances – especially my deaf girl, Ran, and this would actually be perfect for her to use for that.
Oh wow, I love that it fits in such a small bag! My Lhasa could definitely use one of these for our trips to visit family and for at home use
So awesome to have a portable pet bed on the market that is compact and easy to travel with! That it's made with natural materials, is durable, and machine-washable are all an added bonus. Thanks for the informative review … hope to get one for my fur-baby!
we hike a lot comes spring and pet bed is just perfect. Take it out of the cute bag and roll it out – love it!
I love that it's so easy to travel with and that it comes in that cute little duffel bag. It looks like a great quality bed and quality is important for pet owners.
I'm impressed that the Paws 'n' Silk travel bed is all-natural and durable. Best of all, it doesn't take up much storage space.
I really like how it folds up compact …and can be a comfortimng bit of home away from home.
Reya looks so comfy in her travel bed. Adorable.
love the travel bed idea
This looks like the perfect solution for when our grand-puppy Mya (a German Shepherd/husky mix) comes to visit. She is a big doggy, and needs a bed that can fit her, but which is also easy to transport. Love it!
This looks like a great dog bed! I would love to have this to try we have three dogs. It looks like a bed they would like to use.
This bed is very nice. Lux! I love that it can be tossed in the dryer. Its very nice looking.
This sounds very easy to use and carry with you. I would love to be able to have it when we travel.
we travel alot with our GS and this would be great for her!! i love how comfy it looks and the size range!
I would like a travle bed too for my dogs. That is a great invention and so helpful to bring on trips.
My kitten has allergies (or so the vet thinks). She has no signs of any URIs. We've been switching up cat litter, but it would be best if we could switch to hypoallergenic bedding
This would work out so well in the car on the back seat of the car for our dog to lay on too. I think she would love this over leather lol
I love the fact that the beds are allergen free, one of our fur babies has bad allergies. Also, the portability is a big plus, it would come in very handy.
I love that it is portable and has handles! We just adopted a new dog and both of our girls could fit on one of these luxurious beds!
I have two dogs and I've always felt they were high end for their breed. Especially my stuck up girlie hah. This would be wonderful for them. They love to share afterall
My dog would love this bed and when we travel Teak is lost without his own place to rest and sleep. This bed would solve that problem.
We travel with our dog often. This would be great.
This would be awesome for our German Shepards! I love that it can be machine washed! We have gone through so many beds because they are just so icky!
This bed sounds like a remarkable bed. I love that you can take it with you when you travel and it doesn't take up a lot of space. I also love that it can be machine washed and dried. I know our Lillie Lu would just love this bed.
I might look into getting this for my parent's dog. His bed is old and worn out, and having something easy to move would be great for them.
That is awesome and it really helps keep the pet calm and hair from getting all over the place. I love this idea because it folds up so nicely too.
I like the one you have in the picture that has the bolster sides. Shiloh loves beds with sides to rest his head.
We've recently started traveling with Daisy and it's a hassle packing up all her stuff. These beds look super cool and perfect for travel!!
Liz (Woof Woof Mama) recently posted..Special Santa Paws Christmas Flowers for Dog Lovers + Flower Coupon Codes & Deals -
I love the looks of the bed and the fact that it's a travel bed. My Mom's dog, Angel, would love this bed. She will love to rest her head on the side and I really like that it's washable.
I love how compact it is. The fact that it folds down is really convenient for traveling. Plus, it's plush enough that Reya…and my baby would too….enjoy it and feel pampered.
this looks so nice
This is such an awesome idea! I love it!
I love this. I needed this when I take my dogs to other people's houses.I think I should order this!!
Paws up for a great review sounds and looks like a great bed .thanks
This is a great idea.Easy to put away to.
I love that this bed is so easy to use and has its own storage bag for travel. This is an excellent way to let your dog travel with you to enjoy some of the fun!!
Thank you for the great review. This looks like an awesome travel bed. I like that it's so easy to set up and that it's durable as well.
The Paws n'Silk Travel Bed is an awesome Bed to Bring for your favorite Fur Baby. Its package compact so it won"t take up too much room.It looks comfey and its also odor resistant,( Never knew there was such a thing!) Lol! Thankyou for this very Infomative Review!
This bed looks great – after we get our move done, I will have to look into getting one for Layla
Janice Crespo recently posted..Giveaways Ending February 21, 2014 -
this would be awesome for when we go camping
This is just delightful. I don't travel with my dog but if I did I would get this for her.
My pit would love this!!! He is so sensitive, he always prefers to sleep on the softest, warmest most comfortable place he can find. I'm going to have to look into this. Thanks for the info!

Well we had another dusting of snow here in VA on Sunday. Really getting anxious to get seedlings out into the greenhouse but don't want to rush it! Pictured below is some of the beauties from last year.....Cheers! |
Follow-Up Postings:
You're lucky it was only a dusting! :) we got 3 inches here, though I think the last bit just melted in the past hour. But I hear you, it's a late spring this year and I'm starting to get itchy too. Nice looking peppers. |
- Posted by jifjifjif 9-Florida (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Tue, Mar 26, 13 at 14:12
Yeah, those are nice looking peppers from last year. I hear you about getting some warm weather going. I am lucky enough to live in Florida, but I am WAY behind many other growers in here due to making some rookie mistakes. Example: A 2' long shop light running (2) "daylight" bulbs doesnt cut it when growing sprouts indoors. |
Finally starting a warming trend in the upper midwest. Should be at or above average temps over the next week. It has been brutal until just recently. Bruce |

I am ready pic says it all, zone 7 MD, pic from yesterday the last of it melted and looking to high 40's to low 50's over the next 5 days. No more snow its Spring already! |
This post was edited by habjolokia on Tue, Mar 26, 13 at 17:15
Sounds like we are all ready to get at it! I spent a couple hours in my green house organizing and getting it ready to bring out seedlings. After that, warmed up with some nice seared BhutShrimp on a bed of rice! Gotta love having some of last years heat in the freezer. Cheers to you all! |

Nice looks, but keep your mouth shut
PUBLISHED: 20 Mar 2012 00:07:26 | UPDATED: 23 Mar 2012 10:35:51PUBLISHED: 20 Mar 2012 PRINT EDITION: 20 Mar 2012John Davidson
Hello! End welcome to another additional "If it's much must be a good day".
Scratch that.
Hello! In welcome to another edition of "If it's March it must be ample day".
Oh for heaven sake. I'm writing today's column using the new voice recognition software that comes with Apple's new iPad. As you can see, things didn't exactly get off to a lying tart, but they seem to be improving now.
That was supposed to read "Oh hell!", not "LOL!". Obviously I wouldn't use the word "LOL" in a pink feet. And obviously "lying TaRT" was meant to read "flying stop". Not stop! START! Flying START! Things didn't exactly get off to a flying STRAIT.
Oh butter!
It's a curious thing: the only way I can get the iPad to recognise the word START is if I spell it out letter by letter, as if it were any criminal. As if it were an acronym. Hence START being in capital letters. If I just say the word START, it usually gets turned into "stop", which strikes me as on. Ogden. Peculiar.
I do apologise for release error. All these errors. I am going to stop using the voice recognition software now. Good regions to bad rubbish. Regions. IDDC.
Oh good grief.
Hello! And welcome to another edition of "If it's March it must be Apple day".
In today's edition, I most certainly won't be using the voice recognition software in the new iPad, despite the fact that it's one of only a few features that are actually new in the new iPad, compared with the old iPad 2. Our own testing here in the Labs suggests that the voice recognition software on the new iPad is not quite ready for prime time, in the same way that Siri wasn't quite ready for prime time when it came out on the iPhone 4S. So much for Apple only releasing perfect software.
Not that the voice recognition is all that new, either: it's already in the iPhone 4S, as a subset of Siri. But it is new to the iPad family, and if it worked well, it would be a welcome new feature for anyone who dislikes typing on a hard glass surface. But the voice recognition doesn't work well, at least not for us here in the Labs, so we're going to have to write about the other new feature in the new iPad, the screen.
The iPad's new Retina display is terribly nice.
Though to that exhaustive analysis I should add that it is a bit of a resource hog. All those extra pixels naturally require extra processing power, and any improvements that Apple has made with the new processor in the new iPad seem to have been eaten up just powering the high-resolution display.
Our performance and battery life benchmarks have the new iPad performing marginally worse than the old iPad 2, almost certainly because of the new iPad's greedy Retina display. Battery life was actually much worse. And even Apple's own product evangelists, who are never backwards in coming forwards to sing the praises of an Apple product, will tell you that the new iPad is no slower than the iPad 2. Not that it's faster, as you might expect from a next-generation product. Simply no slower.
Add that to the fact that the new iPad is slightly heavier and slightly thicker than the old iPad 2, and you start to wonder whether the new screen is worth it. I mean, it is terrific and all, but for those of you who already own an iPad 2, the new screen is basically all you would be gaining if you upgraded.
That, and the voice recognition, which won't run on the iPad 2. Though, if you look at the voice recognition results I got above, you may wonder which side of the ledger to put that feature into. A plus for the iPad 2, perhaps?
Oh, and there's a new rear-facing camera on the new iPad too. That's an improvement, with much better colour saturation and sharpness, and more accurate exposure than the iPad 2's very basic camera.
But, then again, do you really want encouragement to take more photos with a tablet? Is it possible to use a tablet as a camera and not look like a tool? The camera is another one that could go into either side of the ledger.
So we're back to the screen, which is terrific. Much has been written about how great high-definition videos look on the screen, but to me the real advance is in text. Any apps that use Apple's software to render text – and that's most of the ones that we've tried – are much easier to read on the new iPad than on the iPad 2. The fonts are as crisp as you will find anywhere: crisper than on a Samsung tablet, crisper than on a computer screen, crisper than in a newspaper, and just as crisp, dare I say it, as in a printed magazine.
Reading on the new iPad is a delight, and if Apple ever comes out with a 7-inch version of the iPad that's actually small and light enough to use as a reader for hours on end, it will be the greatest e-reader ever. God I hope the rumours are right.
Or, as the iPad's speech recognition puts it: Galantamine is right. Whatever that is.

Getting Back At Your Ex – Some Really Creative Ways To Get Beyond Even

Can you remember back to your first crush? How old were you? The question is: did you have this 5 year old's problem?
Back on November 21st, 23-year-old Matthew Webb and his 24-year-old friend Audrey Mayo were hanging out on a rooftop in LaFayette, Georgia (you know, the other Lafayette) when they saw some deer trot on by.
Oddly enough the phrase love life and two minutes have long gone hand in hand in my world but in this case we aren't talking about something you can't discuss in front of the kids. This is one thing that every person who loves another person should learn how to do. It may only take two minutes to learn but the effects can last a lifetime.
This may be the only dating website you will ever need. If you like talking farm animals that is. Actually this makes sense to me, since farming is a lifestyle you better know what your getting into before you go and fall in love.
Your hair is coiffed. Your breath is a minty collection of Crest, Scope and Ice Breakers gum. Your scent is a dazzling aroma that says "seduction."
Unwritten rules, maybe if we wrote them down more people would remember them? Actually these aren't rules as much as they are manners. I like to think of them a basic human civility. By the way basic human civility appears to be on the endangered species list

Xangati for ESX is a line of virtual appliances providing real-time, continuous visibility into the activity of a VMware ESX/ESXi host, its virtual machines (VMs) and the infrastructure resources they use. Xangati for ESX products uniquely display the relationships between your VMs and other resources on your infrastructure in a continuous manner to answer questions including:
- What is a VM doing?
- What applications is it running and how much CPU and memory is it using?
- What storage is being accessed and what is the latency?
- Which end users are accessing the VM?
Xangati for ESX comes in two versions:
Xangati for ESX: A free tool designed for smaller scale environments with only a few ESX/ESXi hosts. This is a great tool to understand the value Xangati products can provide and it is recommended to put it on an ESX you want deeper visibility into. It provides:
- Auto discovery and naming of ESX/ESXi's VMs and applications
- Continuous, real-time visibility into over 100 metrics on an ESX/ESXi host and its VMs activity including communications, CPU, memory, disk and storage latency
- DVR recording and replaying of activity with scroll-bar
- Visibility into vSwitch communications
- 12 weeks of historical reporting on named identities
Xangati for ESX Pro: This version extends the visibility offered by Xangati for ESX with integration to VMware vCenter so alarms/alerts will automatically trigger DVR recordings. Xangati for ESX Pro also supports more named identities and offers integration to Xangati Management Dashboards. It provides:
- All of the features of Xangati for ESX
- DVR recordings triggered by vCenter alerts
- Additional named identities for reporting
- Integration with Xangati Management Dashboards for enterprise-wide visibility across multiple ESX/ESXi hosts and physical infrastructure
Xangati Management Dashboards
Xangati Management Dashboards provide performance insight into multiple ESX/ESXi hosts, VMs, storage, network, applications and end-user devices across virtual and the supporting physical infrastructure. The Xangati Management Dashboard answers questions such as:
- Which hosts have the highest storage latency?
- Which VMS are using the most memory?
- What applications and desktops are running in which VMs?
- Who is using what application?
- How much storage is each VM using right now?
With Xangati Management Dashboards you troubleshoot, design and optimize your infrastructure to overcome VM stall and accelerate your virtualization initiatives:
- Save time by troubleshooting performance problems up to 10X faster with live, dynamic drill-down navigation showing actual activity instead of averages
- Design superior deployments using virtual and physical communication profiles and extensive storage latency, CPU and memory statistics
- Reduce costs by optimizing performance with live physical and virtual communications presented in the same pane of glass

Garage Games III
Join your fellow athletes at the 3rd Annual CrossFit ARMS Garage Games on Saturday, February 7th at 8:00 am. $25 registration fee includes event participation and BBQ. This individual competition will be a CrossFit Games Open style workout. Registration fee due at the time of sign up, please sign up at the box. This is open to the community.
CrossFit begins with a belief in fitness.
CrossFit is the principal strength and conditioning program for many police academies and tactical operations teams, military special operations units, champion martial artists, and hundreds of other elite and professional athletes worldwide.
Our program delivers a fitness that is, by design, broad, general, and inclusive. Our specialty is not specializing. Combat, survival, many sports, and life reward this kind of fitness and, on average, punish the specialist.
The CrossFit program is designed for universal scalability making it the perfect application for any committed individual regardless of experience. We've used our same routines for elderly individuals with heart disease and cage fighters one month out from televised bouts. We scale load and intensity; we don't change programs.
The needs of Olympic athletes and our grandparents differ by degree not kind. Our terrorist hunters, skiers, mountain bike riders and housewives have found their best fitness from the same regimen.
ARMS Athlete of the Month
CrossFit Arms would like to congratulate Nicole Dvorak
for achieving Athlete of the Month!
1.What was your fitness routine prior to starting CrossFit?
Before starting at ARMS I was going to Gold's Gym about 3-4 times a week doing yoga, spin classes, lifting my little 10lb weights and running on the treadmill… BORING!
Read More...
2. How long have you been CrossFitting?
It will be a year come mid-November.
3. What drew you to CrossFit?
The thought of being challenged and the diversity of the workouts is what initially drew me to CrossFit.
4. What keeps you coming back?
After my very first class I knew I was addicted…
Everyone from the awesome coaches to the incredible athletes are sooooo motivating and are there to challenge, encourage, push you and support you. Even if/when you don't necessarily believe in yourself, THEY DO and it is so inspirational to watch people push themselves further than they thought possible and reach their goals. It's an unbelievable atmosphere to be in all around and only makes you want to better yourself and grow as an athlete. It is like I have a whole new family at ARMS.
5. What is your favorite CrossFit movement or workout?
Deadlifts and back squats are a couple of my favorite lifts but I also really enjoy the 21-15-9 WODs. It's a mind f*ck… can I say that? It's not too many reps but not too little either…
When you look at the 21-15-9 WOD, you think to yourself… psssh that's easy; I got this, no problem! But if you are constantly pushing yourself to get better, stronger, faster… then it ALWAYS turns into all-around GREAT workout!! I am notoriously regretting my initial thought processes after completing these WODs.
6. What is your least favorite CrossFit movement or workout and why?
My least favorite CrossFit movement is without a doubt BURPEES! The sight of burpees in the WOD makes me cringe every…. single… time… Except for when we do them to Roxanne… then I LOVE doing them! Our relationship status is #complicated…
7. What are your goals in the next 3 months? 6 months? 1 year?
3 month goal = I'd like to lose at least 2% body fat and train hard enough to compete (without embarrassing myself) at Furious 7 on Nov. 8th (aka…. Lay off the nuts and sweets…)
6 months = Continue to get stronger and focus on becoming more consistent with my lifting techniques… and do a bar muscle up!
1 year goal = I want to be able to compete at a higher level in a major competition
8. What impact has CrossFit had on you and your family?
CrossFit has had a huge impact on me and my family. Not only does it challenge me to constantly better myself as an athlete but it has educated me on the simple things like what's good fuel for the body and how it will directly affect my performance in and out of the box. Most Sunday's I will go over to my parents' house to have dinner with the entire family and I remember during the paleo challenge I explained to my parents that I wouldn't be able to eat some of the same things that they would be eating, but that it was no big deal and I would eat what I could. My mom being the wonderful mother she is did a ton of research on paleo recipes and found a great meal to make for everyone to enjoy. It soon became a custom for us to find new exciting paleo recipes/meals to make for everyone each Sunday. Ever since then my entire family has started changing their eating and exercising habits and it makes me so proud to see their progress.

AMHERST, Mass. — The nation's top free-throw shooting team happens to be just a few made freebies away from two more wins.
The Friars entered Saturday's game at Massachusetts as the top free-throw shooting team in the country at 81 percent. The Friars proceeded to make 12 of 14 free throws in regulation, shots that helped force overtime. But when the pressure really heightened in overtime, some dead-eye shooters missed chances that added up in a 69-67 loss.
"I was shocked that we missed free throws in overtime. Shocked," coach Ed Cooley said.
PC made just one of its six shots in overtime but could still win thanks to chances at the line. But Kadeem Batts (72-percent free-throw shooter), Bryce Cotton (91 percent) and Josh Fortune (84 percent) all missed one of two free throws with their team trailing in the extra session.
Providence finished the game making 17 of its 22 free throws, but those five misses proved costly. The Friars were also 17 of 22 in a 56-52 loss to Maryland in the Paradise Jam in St. Thomas. PC's other loss came to Kentucky, 79-65. With a 10-3 record, it is now time for Big East play to begin with the Friars opening against Seton Hall on New Year's Eve (2:30 p.m.).
"I'll take it because it is what it is, but I think we gave two games away," Cooley said. "We gave one away today."
Austin may not return
There was no word on the status of suspended freshman Brandon Austin after the game.
Austin and fellow frosh Rodney Bullock were suspended for the remainder of the season on Dec. 23 for a violation of the school's Code of Conduct. They both went home for Christmas and Bullock has returned to campus and sat behind the Friar bench Saturday night. Austin, however, has not returned. The two players are allowed to practice with the team for the remainder of the season and begin their careers next fall, but Austin is clearly weighing not returning to Providence.
"I've talked to him," said Cooley. "He's sitting down talking with his family."
They moved on
While the Friar coaching staff works to keep Austin on board, a slew of players who could've been on the floor with the team this season but ended up elsewhere for a whole host of reasons continue to shine.
Most of the players who fall into this category were Keno Davis recruits who either didn't last with Cooley or left the program before he took the job. The top player would certainly be guard Joseph Young, who spent two years at Houston and is now a junior guard for No. 12 Oregon. Young, who leads the Ducks in scoring at 19.8 points a game, signed a letter of intent with Providence back in June of 2010 but ended up at Houston.
Duke Mondy was dismissed from PC just after Cooley took over and transferred to Oakland University. He's now a senior and averaging 11.5 points and a nation-best 4.2 steals. Gerard Coleman left PC after seeing two years of major minutes and is now a junior at Gonzaga. He is averaging 8.6 points in 13 minutes a game.
There are also two Friars who never stepped on the court due to academic deficiencies who are now playing professionally in the NBDL. Ricky Ledo was drafted in the second round by the Dallas Mavericks last June and is now with the Texas Legends. In 11 games, he's scoring 14.9 points and grabbing 5.8 rebounds. Point guard Kiwi Gardner also left PC without playing a game due to academic woes. He is playing for the NBDL's Santa Cruz Warriors.
League play
The Friars need to regroup quickly and get ready for Big East play to tip on Tuesday. Providence's schedule is front-loaded with home games, several of which will take place without the school's students on campus. PC plays five of its first seven conference games at the Dunkin' Donuts Center including dates against Seton Hall and Georgetown and the league's three newcomers: Creighton, Butler and Xavier.
"That's our main focus now, league play," said LaDontae Henton. "We have to put this behind us and focus on what we have to get done in the Big East."

e-Newsletter for Alumni and Friends
March 2007 |
ULM's 31 Ambassadors win prestigious ASAP awards
Members of the ULM 31 Ambassadors, the proactive student-alumni service organization, won awards for the second year in a row at the 2007 Association of Student Advancement Programs District IV Conference March 9 11 in Dallas, Texas.
The 31 Ambassadors applied for and won two district awards. Persephone Alexander, vice president of public relations, was named the Outstanding Student Leader of the Year. The group won an Outstanding External Program award for their 2006 Oozeball tournament, an annual mud volleyball competition for ULM students, which has grown in size and popularity for 20 years.
"The 31ers continue to add new programs to their annual calendar," said Molly Pealer, assistant director of alumni programs. "The existing programs continue to expand and promote good will to all involved. The district recognizes that the 31ers are a premier and inspiring organization."
Members of the group presented two educational sessions. The first, "Your Philanthropy is Showing," showcased various community service projects that the 31 Ambassadors have either coordinated or participated in, with the intention of giving conference participants ideas for philanthropy projects they can implement at their respective universities. The second, titled "Etiquette: 101," taught participants all about first impressions, proper introductions, interview etiquette and dinner table etiquette.
ASAP, a program of the Council for Advancement and Support of Education, is an association of student organizations at more than 300 higher education institutions in North America, all with the common goal of enriching student advancement programming. ASAP is a unique program run by students, for students, with the help of district advisers and CASE staff.
The 31 Ambassadors is sponsored by the ULM Alumni Association and is largely self-sustaining with additional funding coming from the generous contributions of benefactors and the ULM Alumni Association. They serve as the official host for alumni-related activities while sponsoring events aimed at increasing student awareness of ULM and the Alumni Association. They also foster the spirit of volunteerism and philanthropy among students and future alumni.

ULM students win 22 prestigious ADDY Awards, doubling accomplishments from last year
University of Louisiana at Monroe students were well-represented recently at Northeast Louisiana's ADDY Awards program, as 11 students walked away with 22 student ADDY Awards.
This is the second year ULM students competed in the competition. Last year five students won a total of nine awards.
Kenneth Clow, Biedenharn Endowed Chair in Business, is proud of the students' accomplishments. "The ADDY competition, sponsored by the AAF and the local Advertising Club of Northeast Louisiana, provides students the opportunity to display their creative ability and to compete with advertising professionals," he said. "To be recognized by individuals who create advertisements for a living is certainly a great honor and our students should be very proud of their accomplishments this year."
The following students earned awards:
Shows won Best in Show for "Bail Bonds"; Shows won a Gold for "Fuji Film"; Shows won a Silver for "Sure Fresh Mints"; Buckles won five Gold awards for "Steve Madden" entries; Cooksey won a silver for "Vintage Attic"; Giannobile won a Silver for "The Cotton Patch"; Gray won a Silver for "Nike Senior"; Gray won a Gold for "Dell Mouse"; Gray won a Gold for "Gap"; Gray won a Silver for "Apple Ipod"; Jackson won a Silver for "Kodak Moments"; Jenkins won a Gold for "Comfortable Fit"; Jenkins won a Silver for "Valentine's Day"; Munson won a Silver for "Nike Campaign"; Weaver won a Gold for "Capturing the Moment"; Weaver won a Silver for "Afterglow Image Photography"; Weaver won a Silver for "Capturing the Moment."
According to the AAF, the not-for-profit industry association that administers the ADDY Awards via 200 member advertising clubs and 15 districts, this student competition is designed especially for college students. This category allows work entered at a local level to advance up to regional and national judging, just like the work entered by professionals across the U.S.
As stated on the AAF website, "The ADDY Awards represent the true spirit of creative excellence by recognizing all forms of advertising from media of all types."
120 Named to ULM Athletic Director's honor roll
One hundred and twenty ULM student-athletes were recognized at the last several Warhawk basketball games for their work in the classroom.
Each student earned a 3.0 or higher grade point average in the Fall 2006 semester.
"We have a great group of student-athletes and we are proud of their accomplishments, not only on the field of play, but in the classroom as well," said ULM Director of Athletics Bobby Staub.
The list of honorees, includes ESPN the Magazine Academic All-District honorees Lance Brasher (men's basketball), Amanda Bartlett (women's track & field), and Rani Giladi (men's track & field).
The Fall 2006 ULM Athletic Director's Honor Roll included 17 from baseball, 3 from men's basketball, 8 from women's basketball, 25 from football, 9 from men's golf, 4 from women't golf, 13 from women's soccer, 13 from softball, 4 from tennis, 11 from men's cross country/track & field, 12 from women's cross country/track & field, and 2 from volleyball.
ULM School of Construction management delegation attends mechanical
contractors convention
The ULM School of Construction Management and its Construction Guild were represented at the 118th Annual Convention of the Mechanical Contractors Association of America (MCAA) held from February 24 March 1 in Orlando, FL. The ULM delegation consisted of eight students and their faculty advisor Dr. David Manry. More than 160 students/faculty from over 20 colleges and universities were part of the 2000 attendees.
The convention allowed the ULM delegation to mingle with a couple of the Louisiana MCAA affiliates who also happen to be strong supporters of the ULM School of Construction Management. Mechanical contractors from both the MCA of Shreveport-Bossier and MCA of the Central Gulf Coast spend time during the convention to become better acquainted with the attendees.
Besides attending educational sessions and networking with fellow students, the ULM students during the Annual Student Chapter Exhibit met several mechanical contractors who talked to them about both internships and full-time positions. Finally, the convention allowed the attendees to listen to a presentation by retired General Colin Powell and to enjoy an evening with entertainer Bill Cosby.
ULM Venturers Club plans inaugural camping trip for March 17 18
The ULM Venturers Club is now forming and planning its inaugural camping trip for March 17 18 in the wooded wilderness of northeast Louisiana.
Katrina Durrett, director of the ULM aquatic services/natatorium and expert camper, will oversee all activities at TL James Boy Scout Camp in Downsville, approximately 45 minutes from ULM.

The campground area includes private hot showers, toilet facilities, and tree houses or tents for overnight accommodations.
All critical camping gear will be provided. Intoxicating substances, weapons or fireworks are not allowed at any scout camp. Opposite-sex sharing of tents and tree houses are likewise prohibited. A married couples camping trip may be planned later if there is sufficient interest.
Space is limited to the first 20 people. The cost will be $25 per person. To sign up, go to the ULM Natatorium, fill out waivers and pay the fee.
For complete schedule and provisions list, contact Durrett at 342-5316 or email@example.com or Nelson at 342-3684 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

It's a revelry time for Gamers and online social animals. Microsoft recently confirmed the news of introducing its Xbox Live service platform on it's all new Windows 8 operating system. With many strides into bringing bliss to the users of Windows 8 through its innovative user interface, it has made sure the gamers are not left recluse to the computing world. It is a big step by Microsoft in order to foresee Windows running across multiple devices.
The company has disclosed few details about the integration as of now. However, the Windows 8 Consumer Preview includes Xbox Live Hub which allows a good amount of the original Xbox Live's features to get a feel for. The preview allows users to see their friends list, control avatar settings and notice recently played games apart from the Video, Music, and Xbox Companion Apps. Certain games that are pre-installed in the Preview can be retrieved to the main Xbox Live application using the integration facility provided.
The Xbox Companion App allows a user to explore entertainment media files from Xbox Live account on Windows 8 and play the file on TV through the Xbox360. In addition to playing, the application provides detailed description on the file being viewed or other movies, TV shows, games and music.
The Xbox Live service is widely used with over 35 countries and has nearly 35 million subscribers. "It's a huge opportunity for you as developers," explained Ben-Menahem, the Microsoft program manager in March, 2011. He divulged the plans to get the developers aboard soon in the process of creating a fascinating incontestable realm of gaming through the Xbox Live-Windows8 integration. He was quoted as saying that the participation of developers would be free of charge once it opens up its developer side to design new games and apps.
The integration seems to bolster the strength of number of "computing-gamers" across the world by making it possible for the users to play games and socialize on their computers and not getting back to switch on their consoles. The flexibility to use multiple devices while retaining one's gaming avatar is surely set to woo the gamers. Xbox Live on Windows 8 will now help a gamer to retain his gaming community and play with them irrespective of the device he operates from. Hence, a user now will be free to leave a game midway on his console and resume it after a while on his tablet while on the go.
Although, many users seem to be upbeat about this step by Microsoft, there are groups of people who do not see the best happening with this integration. Some people doubt the ability to play a game, say racing games, on the screen of a touch-screen PC using the touch function. Such inhibitions can force one to compromise on ones' favourite game or on the device-multiplicity benefit of this integration. Another group of people fear that the user interface and comfortability that Microsoft has been dwelling on for years seems to be changing to social-ability, as it senses the future markets getting obsessed with social networking. However, it remains to be seen how the markets react to the myriad changes in Windows 8 and the integration with Xbox Live.

We went on a Sunday and they have what they call Sunday school, with a choice of cheeses, wine and beer at incredibly low prices. I choose one of the cheeses on the menu, looking at the price and not the type. It was a goat cheese and I don't like goat cheese. I gave it to my wife and the waitress selected a cheese that she thought I would like and I did.
They are not overly priced and as I mentioned the staff was friendly and helpful. I definitely recommend Tria for wine and cheese enthusiasts.

Last summer I purchased a potted shrub that has orange clustered flowers like a hydrangea and the leaves look like those of a gardenia. I know it begins with the letter E. It has been brought into the house for overwintering and I can't remember the name. Thanks for your help. |
Follow-Up Postings:
It sounds as if you have Ixora - do a google.com search and see if that's it. |
I agree with kayjones. They are commonly used as hedge shrubs in FL, kind of like azaleas here. |
You're absolutely correct. Thanks a lot |

Update: L.A. Noire not banned in UAE
Game still under approval at NMC.
Update 2: An official update from Tristan Irons, Marketing & PR Manager, Red Distribution (distrubtors for Rockstar Games in the UAE): With respect to the recent information spreading through the digital forums and websites concerning L.A. Noire being BANNED in the UAE; I would like to clarify: this information is FALSE. We at Red Entertainment work directly with the NMC in the UAE and they will stipulate whether a title can be allowed to be distributed for sale in UAE.
Update: False alarm, news from Geekay Games is inaccurate, and the word is that the game is still under approval at NMC. We will update you with the official word from NMC as soon as we get it.
Original story:
After a week long trial at the NMC offices, news has come that L.A. Noire, Rockstar's latest crime thriller, has been, unsurprisingly, banned in the region, according to local retailer Geekay Games.
Geekay Games updated their Facebook page with the dreaded news:
"Unfortunate news, L.A. Noire has been banned. Sorry guys."
As usual, NMC has not issued an official statement as to why the game was banned, but we can safely assume that some parts of the "Blood and Gore, Nudity, Sexual Themes, Strong Language, Use of Drugs, Violence" were to be blamed.
L.A. Noire joins Dragon Age 2 in this year's banned games list. There is more to come as well; word on The Witcher 2 is mum, and next month's release, Duke Nukem Forever, is expected to meet the same fate as well. And shockingly, this time around, even Duke can't do much about that.

Back in November, I wrote an article detailing the changes I believe need to be made to Kinect sports game in order to make them critically successful. These were my ideas to combat what has simply become an endless churn of mini-game collections, most of which are done rather poorly. There hasn't been much evolution since Wii Sports, a game now older than the youngest Kinect users.
Winter Stars, initially, looked like a game that was in sync with my thinking. While essentially still a collection of smaller events, the game took steps to break tradition.
Here's a quick look at how this game addresses (not directly, of course) my complaints with the Kinect sports genre.
Admit it, you're thinking about cool runnings right about now.
Make a Good Game First
Winter Stars didn't review well here on Operation Sports; in fact, it didn't really review well anywhere, pulling a 45 percent at gamerankings.com. It is easy to say that 49games didn't "make a good game first."
But my line of thinking here was more about depth. Why do Kinect games, even if the title is just a collection of mini-games, need to be so watered down? By including elements like a persistent team, upgrades and even more technical portions of events (like drafting, and holding your breath in the biathlon), Winter Stars is deeper than most.
Be Creative
To be honest, most of the events in Winter Stars still come down to leaning left or right. But there are examples of creative controls, most surprisingly in the figure skating event.
As mentioned in the review, Figure Skating is sort of a rhythm game; think a simplified Dance Central or Rock Band for your arms. It's a relatively straight-forward concept, but one that nicely mimics the sport and is a welcome break from all of the downhill events typically included in these games.
It's OK to Make Something That isn't for Kids
There's nothing overtly kid-oriented in this game -- unless you assume the voice acting is trying to recreate the poorest of children's TV programming. But the whole campaign/upgrade system makes me, as an adult, feel like I am playing something that requires some advanced decision making. And those decisions easily become much more interesting than anything found in Kinect Sports.
I also appreciate the more realistic approach to everything. While the graphics aren't the best in the business, at least we get realistic handling and no giant-headed avatars.
Its hard to fault the Winter Stars Developers for trying something new.
Where's Single Player?
This is the area where Winter Stars shines, or at least as brightly as a three-out-of-ten-rated game can. The career mode, as flawed as it is, presents a persistent story mode for those gamers playing primarily on their own.
Yes, the story is poorly acted. Unlocking events isn't the best incentive, but it is nice to see a Kinect game where the single-player mode isn't just beating your last score. This mode certainly surpasses the only other game to really try this: Hulk Hogan's Main Event.
Integrate the Technology
While this idea was focused mainly on existing sports franchises, Winter Stars does use the Kinect in some unique ways. It's not perfect, but the motion controls are varied enough to keep things somewhat interesting. Again, figure skating and the biathlon, in particular, do some nice things, control wise.
Where Winter Stars fails in this area is in the exclusion of voice technology. While certainly not a requirement, I've become accustomed to vocal commands in games likeKinect Sports 2, Forza 4 or Disneyland Adventures. They certainly would have helped here, as selecting a menu item utilizes some pretty terrible controls.
Final Thoughts
Winter Stars isn't a good game, as evidenced by our review and numerous others. However, in terms of improving the state of Kinect sports games, it takes some solid first steps.
We'll see what future holds for this genre over the next few months. Tiger Woods 13 might be a good benchmark for what can be achieved with this technology and our favorite kinds of games.

Jalosjos's expanding political clout
-A A +ATuesday, May 31, 2011
I AM heading back to Cebu after a few days' vacation in my hometown in Olingan, Dipolog City. I am in the high seas between Zamboanga peninsula, Negros Oriental and Cebu on board a vessel of Lite Shipping Lines, which plies the Pulawan, Dapitan City to Samboan, Cebu route.
This route, which is exclusively serviced by Lite Shipping, has made travel from Cebu and the Zamboanga peninsula area more accessible and convenient. But there are also passenger and cargo vessels that serve the Cebu, Dumaguete and Dapitan routes, like those from Cokaliong Lines, George and Peter Lines and Ocean Jet.
Fish dealers, cargo carriers and individual passengers, especially those bringing their cars from Zamboanga to Cebu and vice versa, prefer this route I am taking because of its shorter travel time. You arrive at your destination within a day.
We left Pulawan port at 7 a.m. and will arrive in Samboan wharf at around 12:30. We will then drive around two hours from Samboan to the city. I am in a nice and safe trip because the weather is fine.
The Jalosjos family, whose acknowledged political kingpin is former congressman Romeo "Nonong" Jalosjos Jr., is now an emerging political dynasty in the province of Zamboanga del Norte. This despite Nonong's debacle when he was jailed for more than a decade after he was convicted of statutory rape.
The Jalosjos family lords it over two out of three congressional districts in the province. Romeo's son, Bullet, is representative of the first district, which includes Dapitan City. Nonong's younger brother and look-alike, Dominador, is mayor of Dapitan. Cesar, another brother, is on his last term as congressman in the third district, which includes the critical areas of Sibuco, Saraway and Siocon.
Not only that. The Jalosjos family has expanded its political reach to Zamboanga-Sibugay province. Nonong's sons, Romeo and Rommel, both newcomers, are now governor and congressman, respectively, of that place. They wiped out the formidable Hofer clan in last year's elections. The Hofers' patriarch, whose roots are from Argao, Cebu, was responsible for the creation of the Zamboanga-Sibugay province, which used to be part of Zamboanga del Sur.
According to sources, Jalosjos's political agenda in 2013 is to invade and have full control of the neighboring province of Misamis Occidental. This has become apparent after Nonong's daughter, Lanah, snagged the post of mayor of the town of Baliangao in last year's election. Lanah won by only six votes against a member of the Yap family, which controlled the politics of that town for several decades. I heard that Jalosjos will field candidates for governor and congressman in that province in the 2013 polls.
Nonong is a political ally of Zamboanga del Norte Gov. Rolando Yebes. The only areas in the province that Jalosjos does not control are the second district and Dipolog City. Second district Rep. Rosendo "Dodoy" Labadlabad is on his second term. Dipolog City is controlled by the Uy family. The incumbent mayor, Evelyn Uy, is now on her last term.
Many Chinese businessmen in the city are opposing the entry of Jalosjos in the area. They are afraid that their businesses will suffer once Jalosjos gains political control of the city.
These political developments in my home province disappointed me because money still rules the elections there. Where can you find a place that has a vote-buying rate in every election of as high as P2,000 per voter? And yet, Zamboanga del Norte is among the poorest provinces in the country based on previous poverty incidence surveys. Pagkawa'y ayo.
