The Pilgrim Churches of Batangas
"Pagiging Maka-Diyos" (being a religious) is one of the best characterics of a Batangueño. Such trait is manifested through the various churches that can be found throughout the province. Indeed, Batangas is a pilgrim's abode. Worth visiting are the centuries old colonial churches, each one marvelously awe-inspiring.
Here in Batangas we have Lipa City dubbed as the "Little Rome of the Philippines". It was called as such because it is a home to a plentiful number of churches and religious congregations. It is also the Seat of the Archdiocese which recently celebrated its centennial anniversary.
For those who want to know about these various churches, here is the list of some of the most visited and declared Pilgrim churches found in our very own province of Batangas:
1. Metropolitan Cathedral of San Sebastian, Lipa City
The seat of the Archdiocese of Lipa was then administered by the Augustinians beginning April 30, 1605 (and until the end of the 19th century) under the name "Convent of San Sebastian in Comintang". The first church building was made of light materials. The present building of "serious architecture, proven solidity and great proportions" began its construction in 1779 during the term of Fray Ignacio Pallares, OSA. The church was totally completed from 1865 to 1894 during the administration of Fray Benito Varas.
2. Carmel of Our Lady Mary Mediatrix of All Grace, Lipa City
In the heart of Lipa City Batangas, lies a church that has earned a place not only in the hearts of the Batangueños but to all Filipinos' hearts as well. This convent of the contemplative order of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel was the site of the Apparition of the Blessed Virgin Mary to a visionary nun and the site of the inexplicable "Shower of rose petals" in 1948.
3. Minor Basilica of San Martin de Tours (Taal Basilica)
Truly one of the main cultural and religious treasures of the Batangas province, it is reputed as the biggest church in th Orient, constructed in 1858 and completed in 1865. The church boasts of its theatrically baroque facade, altar's silver trappings, and intrinsic design features.
4. Santa Lucia Well
A bas relief marker is the site of the miraculous spring well of Caysasay. It is said to be the place where Our Lady performs her miracles and where her statue is usually found whenever it disappears.
5. Our Lady of Caysasay Shrine, Taal Batangas
One of the main features of the Taal Heritage Tour is the visit to Our Lady of Caysasay, the amiable and miraculous quadricentennial image of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Juan Maningcad, a fisherman, found the statuette in 1603 in the Pansipit River.
6. Inmaculada Concepcion Parish, Balayan Batangas
A National Cultural Treasure, Balayan Church is one of the few examples of churches built under direction of the "indio (Filipino) clergy" in 1753. The interior has not changed much since the 1870s when a print showing the church interior was made, despite several superficial additions. The National Commission for Culture and Arts (NCCA) declared this church as a National Heritage Site.
7. San Juan Nepomuceno Church, San Juan Batangas
The stone church, built in honor of the Patron San Juan Nepomuceno, began its construction in 1894 during the administration of the Augustinian Recollect Priest, Fray Celestino Yoldi . It was the chosen venue of local celebrities Ryan Agoncillo and Judy Ann Santos for their wedding early morning of April 28, 2009.
8. San Rafael Arcangel Parish Church, Calaca Batangas
This centuries old church, built in honor of St. Raphael the Archangel, is mostly intact and unspoilt by "renovations, improvements, and restorations". Truly it is a national heritage site and a cultural treasure of Batangas.
9. Immaculate Conception Minor Basilica, Batangas City
The Baroque-styled basilica was erected in 1857 under the administration of Fr. Pedro Cuesta. It was declared a Minor Basilica by Pope Pius XII on February 13, 1945, the first basilica to be vested that honor and privilege in the Philippines and in the entire Far East. The basilica houses the original Sto. Niño ng Batangan, a miraculous statue of the Infant Jesus.
10. The Archdiocesan Shrine of St. Joseph the Patriarch, San Jose, Batangas
This church was built by the Augustinian friar Fr. Manuel Blanco in 1812. It has a large one-aisle interior and is remarkable for its restored main altar, geometrical decorations and flowery capitals on the columns. The church is a paragon of Baroque architecture in the Philippines, and combines this with the neo-classical lines of an adjacent convent. The pulpit and canopy is study in intricate carvings of local flora.
11. San Juan Evangelista Parish, Tanauan City, Batangas
This church was built in 1881 along the Romanesque lines of churches in Europe, but local builders have incorporated neo-classic lines especially along the external sides of the church. Rounded arches tapering down to the strong pillars harmonized with uncluttered lines of the central ceilings. The church is remarkable for its wide open central nave and circular niches.
12. Immaculate Conception Parish of Bauan, Batangas
First constructed in 1700, it was built around neo-classical lines and its walls are broken by Gothic lancet windows. The altar has a tri-centered arch with the niche containing the statue of the Virgin Mary. The facade of the church features both geometric and circular forms. It has a bell tower which is hexagonal, and rests in a base decorated with coupled columns, topped by a campanile. The church is arcade with capiz shell windows on the upper level. It is home to the old devotion to the Mahal na Poong Santa Cruz.

School news roundup

William Allen School
By JoJo Demers
Congratulations to Mrs. Goldstein's second grade class. Winner of the Golden Broom Award. Maple Street Magnet School
Third graders just finished publishing their first information pieces. They were asked to choose an expert topic. Garret chose baseball. He is an ardent fan and participant in this sport. Hailey observes her cat, Bella and has had over 11 cats so it was easy for her to choose her topic. Mikayla's Chihuahua and Veronica's Pug provided them with inspiration. Emmeline often designs and draws dresses during her free time. This gave Jadyn the idea to write about fashion.
Olivia discovered that writers have to do several drafts to get their report just right. Matthew was able to add a maze and fun facts into his 21-page report! St. Elizabeth Seton School
By Emma Fennessy Rochester Middle School

LONDON–"I highly recommend this restaurant if you want an amazing breakfast or lunch. It's wonderful. It's in Stoke Newington, which is the area where I live. The food is a bit French and Mediterranean. They have amazing eggs benedict, and serve a full English breakfast. They also have fresh juices and smoothies. My favorite drink is the beach fruit, celery, and apple smoothie. They have two seating areas; one is in the front, which is all wooden with lovely art on the wall, and the back area has loads of natural light."

A short distance away is the Manuel Antonio National Park entrance, where the tropical rain forest meets dazzling white sand beaches. Enjoy a relaxing day with friends at the beach, taking in the sun and surf. Or, simply enjoy a dip in our refreshing pool.
The pool at the Hotel Eclipse is a short walk from your door (approx. 50 meters). After a dip in our pool comes the hard part – selecting one of the many excellent nearby restaurants for dinner! Choose from French, Italian, German, Asian or "Tico" style restaurants. We highly recommend the "catch of the day" such as Mahi Mahi, Yellow fin Tuna, or Snapper. Other varieties are also seasonally available.

My partner Steve and I have been traveling to Costa Rica since 1988! It is a fantastic country; the people are wonderful; the food is fabulous; and the beaches are incredible. There is an amazing variety of wildlife, with warm temperatures year around. The average high temperature during high season from late December to April is about 88 degrees F (31degrees C), and the average low temperature is 75 degrees F (24 degrees C).
The Owner purchased this house in 1993
The Manuel Antonio area is one of the most popular resort areas in Costa Rica and is easily accessible by car, bus or air. The new highway from San Jose makes the 150km trip about a 2 hour drive. There is also frequent bus service and almost hourly air service!
This area is quite different from the northwest part of the country in that the climate is very tropical with very lush vegetation and wild life. The Manuel Antonio beach is almost 2 km long and is also one of the best in all of Central America! The water is warm year around and there is fairly good surfing at the north end of the beach.
Our house is on the grounds of the Hotel Eclipse property but we choose to operate it apart from the hotel. We are part of an association that still allows us access to the pool and off street parking. Security is provided by the hotel's security staff. They not only guard the house but the off street parking lot as well.
Since we are near the equator, the sun rises before 6am almost every day of the year, and it sets around 6pm as well. Our favorite thing is to rise early, make a pot of fabulous Costa Rican coffee, with a breakfast of just picked fresh fruit and listen to the jungle awaken! It is very easy to spend a couple of hours doing this. Then, it's off to the beach or a walk through the National Park. The trees and vegetation grow right down to the sand on the beach, so it is easy to spread your towel under a group of palm trees or the native "allmendro" or almond trees that lean out over the white sand.
Lunch is a filet of mahi mahi, tuna or a hamburger and fries. The beer is the best, with most of the Costa Rican breweries originating in Germany over 100 years ago!
A nap or late afternoon swim at the pool is a nice way to finish the day, before the tough decision of deciding where to eat dinner.
After dinner, it's a little reading or watching television, before turning out the lights at 10pm.
Get a good nights sleep, because the jungle will wake you before 6am the next day!
Our house is very near the Manuel Antonio National Park. There is a small fee for entry and guided tours are available. There are some very good restaurants and bars, both straight and gay, nearby.

Gold rose to the highest since early May on speculation that minutes from the Federal Reserve's last meeting may signal that the bank is ready to add more stimulus measures. Platinum climbed to a three-month high.
The U.S. central bank is slated to publish tomorrow minutes from its two-day meeting that ended on Aug. 1. Fed Chairman Ben S. Bernanke may talk about monetary stimulus options at a conference in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, at the end of this month. Gold also gained as a weaker dollar boosted the metal's appeal as an alternative investment.
"There's a lot of monetary-easing chatter going around with the chairman going to Jackson Hole," Frank McGhee, the head dealer at Integrated Brokerage Services LLC in Chicago, said in a telephone interview.
Gold futures for December delivery increased 1.1 percent to $1,641.50 an ounce at 9:53 a.m. on the Comex in New York, after reaching $1,642.90, the highest since May 7. The price is headed for a fifth straight session of gains.
In 2010, at the Kansas City Fed's annual monetary symposium in Jackson Hole, Bernanke foreshadowed a $600 billion bond- purchase program. Prices have jumped more than 30 percent since then.
The dollar fell as much as 0.7 percent against a basket of six currencies today.
Platinum futures for October delivery climbed 0.6 percent to $1,506.80 an ounce, after touching $1,509.60, the highest since May 9.
Lonmin Plc (LMI) said 33 percent of workers at the Marikana complex in South Africa, the biggest platinum-producing country, returned to work today after clashes with police last week led to strikers' deaths. Police shot dead 34 striking workers and injured 78 others at Lonmin's Marikana platinum mining complex on Aug. 16.

From the White House's organic garden to grassroots slow food festivals, food is on a lot of minds come election time. Political candidates must decide where they come down on agricultural subsidies, labeling laws, and Frankenfish—to name just a few. Here's some food for thought this voting season.
Did You Know?
The government is all over your dinner plate. Food, a hotly controversial issue in the U.S., involves a cross section of lobbyist alliances, environmental wars, and national health concerns. Here are some of the big items on the minds of foodies and food activists alike in 2012.
Genetically Modified Foods
The war between science and Big Ag continues as genetically modified food (GMOs) continue to pervade the food system. In the last 12 months, GMO salmon, corn, and soybeans have all made headlines. Love him or hate him, President Obama has displeased plenty of constituents by not standing up to Big Ag. Still, conservatives like former President George W. Bush have a long record of being friendly with Big Ag as well. Candidates' positions on Big Ag play a big role in their stead with environmentalists, agribusiness, and consumer advocate groups, among others.
School Lunch
Eating habits start at an early age. Maybe that's why everyone—from celebrity chef Jamie Oliver to an anonymous school teacher dubbed Ms. Q.—has an opinion on what kids should be eating. This year, pizza was named a vegetable, and a beef product dubbed pink slime became a household term. The story seems to always stay the same: the food is bad, or it's bad for you. Even Beyonce shakin' it to "Let's Move" can't solve the problem alone.
Food-Borne Illness
Seventy-six million Americans get sick from food-borne illnesses every year; of those people, 5,000 people die. Tasked with regulating nearly everything Americans eat, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) doesn't have the bandwidth to do its job, only inspecting the facilities it oversees about once every 10 years. Thanks to a shortage of funds, federal plans to create five new centers to fight food-borne illness in 2012 will likely be delayed. Imports don't fare much better: Though about one-fifth of food in the U.S. is imported, the FDA only inspects 1 to 2 percent of imports.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Bozo!
Facts about Bozo
- Breed: Calico
- Color: Calico Or Dilute Calico
- Age: Kitten
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
Bozo's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Bozo, named for her "clown nose", is playful and loving. She's good with other cats and likes personal attention. She and her sister were going to be "done away with" so we took them in instead. Taking care of her has been a joy and she needs a good home!
Other Pets at Mema's Forever Home Agency
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Bozo, a Amarillo Calico kitten was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Calico for sale in Amarillo, or seeking a Calico kitten from a breeder in Amarillo.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Amarillo already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Amarillo breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Calico breeders who help with Calico rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Amarillo paves the way for another one to be saved.

The "Wave" is a Navajo sandstone rock formation located in the American southwest , near the Arizona and Utah border. It is an area made world famous by photographs of its marvelous crimson undulating forms. The location was first widely publicized in Germany, in magazine articles and a movie 'Faszination Natur' by Gogol Lobmayr in 1995. After its' discovery, word spread to the photographic world quickly via the internet. The "Wave" which is located in on the slopes of the North Coyote Buttes, in the Paria Canyon-Vermilion Cliffs Wilderness was soon overwhelmed by the photographic community.
As is often the case, a lemming like rush towards an object of public obsession, overlooks objects of equal or perhaps even greater merit. The Cottonwood Cove area in the South Coyotte Buttes area is a case in point.
To visit Cottonwood Cove one must obtain a day use permit from Arizona office of the Bureau of Land Management. To find out more about the permit process click here. Unlike the overwhelmed "Wave" area, it is relatively easy to secure a permit to the Cottonwood Cove area in South Coyote Buttes. A good 4wd vehicle with high clearance and good sand worthy tires is a necessity for access. I have personally helped rescue several photographers who stuck their rental street tire clad, family type 4wd in the deep sand.
The interactive google map at right shows you the route. From Page. AZ head west past the town of Big Water. Click on the View Route to Cottonwood Cove in a larger map link for more specific directions.
The actual road ends just east of the day use area. So it is possible to legally camp in the sand just off of the road. Be aware that the area has no water and all trash must be packed out, including toilet paper.
View Route to Cottonwood Teepees in a larger map
Click on image for more infomation
While the Google Map I've created is pretty accurate, a real portable GPS can be helpful. If you carry one, the actual Lat./Long coordinates of the parking area are N 36° 57.386' , W 111° 58.816'. There is no actual physical parking lot. You just pull off and park. A BLM stake marks the end of the open road. An old very rough 4WD track continues past the stake.
If you feel unsure of your own 4 wheeling abilities and wish to hire a guide. I strongly recommend Jackson Bridges in Page,AZ. He can be contacted by phone or email. His web site is www.jacksonbridges.com .
When you arrive at the parking area, your view should resemble the one in the photo on the left. The cow skull I placed on the juniper branch to greet visitors many years ago is probably long gone. The orange forms you see, are the Cottonwood Teepees that make up the east wall of Cottonwood Cove itself.
The Cottonwood Teepees are the photographic core of the Cottonwood Cove area. The area itself is about 0.5 mile wide and 0.7 mile high in size. From the point where you park your car it is an easy one half mile hike across the desert to the teepees and the start of your photographic adventure.
While most of the Southwest provide photographers with an opportunity to capture vast images that span from horizon to horizon, the Cottonwood Cove area is different. It is an area where the macro landscape shot or detail shot as I often refer to them reigns supreme.
Creating a good image here is a matter of watching the light and using your imagination. With regards to light, it is excellent in winter, good in spring or fall, and poor in summer. In the summer the sun is high and brutal and so are the temperatures. It can be well over the 100°F mark by late afternoon. Bring plenty of water with you as there is none available within many miles of Cottonwood Cove. I would recommend a gallon per day per person. You don't have to carry more than a liter or two with you, as your cars are only a fifteen minute hike away. It is possible to get disoriented in the cove. If you don't have a good sense of direction carry a GPS when hiking and mark your cars location as a waypoint before you set out..
The Navaho Sandstone in the cove is not quite as highly colored as it is in the "Wave" area. That said, it is quite attractive in its own right. If you are lucky enough to get clouds, use them to enhance your composition. The photo at right was taken after we detoured around a steep ledge. We just looked up and were impressed by the contrast of the wispy Cirrus clouds against the layered sandstone. We set up and waited about 30 minutes for the clouds to do there thing.
Sometime the clouds may not be exactly where you want them at first, but if you are patient, they may drift into the proper spot for your shot. Zoom lenses are invaluable in the cove. You often have your back against a sandstone wall as you try to compose a shot. I would recommend carrying a 17-35mm, 24-70mm and 70-200mm for a full frame 35mm camera. For a crop sensor camera, a 10-22mm and a 17-85mm would work well.
The really unique thing about shooting in the teepees is that they are visually compartmentalized. You turn a corner and something totally unexpected reveals itself. I was looking for a near/far type shot when I went around a corner and saw the scene at left. The near full moon was rising over this wildly interbedded sandstone wall. The rock fin next to the moon looked to me like a coyotes head howling at the full moon. I took out my 70-200mm lens and worked to make an intelligible composition
It is amazing to me how much a given small area of the landscape within the cove can change in character between the early morning light and the late afternoon light. I could never anticipate what I would visually experience when I came back to a given spot at a different time of day. This is always true to a certain extent with detail landscape photography, but is more true in this area than anyplace else I've shot.
If you are the type of photographer that likes to copy the classic landscape shots of the masters and add them to your portfolios, Cottonwood Cove is not for you. If you like to experiment and to try create something visually unique the possibilities are unlimited.
Somewhat unique to this area is the number of free standing wind sculpted erosional statues. These include "Turtle Rock", "The Frog" and "Dali Rock" which is pictured at right. This rock bears a striking remblance to Salvador Dali's painting Arbol De Piedra.
Near the Norrthern end of Cottonwood Cove is an area that contains a considerable amount of a laced wind carved type of rock that resembles boxwork speleothems.This resembles similar structures in an area called The Boneyard made famous by photographer Michael Fatali.
An upper level of this area contains a rock sculpture also made famous by Fatali. It was called the "Altar of Sacrifice". Unfortunately sometime in the late 1990's the erosional forces that shaped this area were too much for the altar and much of its top simply crumpled to the ground.
This same region also is home to some amazingly delicate lace like intertwined fins. Many of these formations are extremely fragile and likely to vanish within our lifetimes. The one pictured here has been named the "Broken Cathedral".
If the Cottonwood Cove area doesn't satiate your photographic appetite for the unusal, consider a short one mile hike north to an area known as the "South Teepees".
The South Teepees stand alone from Coyote Buttes and are seldom visited by anyone. It takes about 30 minutes to hike the one mile to them in loose sand from the Cottonwood Cove parking area. If you leave an hour before dawn and hike by headlamp you can be there by sunrise.
The South Teepees are composed of the same very stongly colored Navajo sandstone that comprises the "Wave". About 1000 feet to the North of these are the "North Teepees", which are similar in character. Both of these sites have seen very few visits from serious photographers or anyone else for that matter. So your chance of creating an original work here is quite good. Are you ready for the challenge?
Is the Cottonwood Cove area the only place worthy of a photographic venture in the South Coyote Buttes area? Not at all, but other tales are best left for other times. With that in mind we bid you farewell.

Peacock feather nail art |
Here are the polishes I used.
Start off with a base color of Orly Sweet Peacock or another metallic blue.
Then make the center part of the feather. I used Milani Signature Gold.
I used Zoya Meg to outline the gold in a light metallic green.
Then I outlined that with Milani Black Swift.
Then I painted "wisps" of the feathers with Milani Black Swift. This is just the start of the feathery part.
Then I added more wisps using Milani White and Orly Mysterious Curse.
Then I added a light blue oval in the center of the gold using Orly Snowcone.
Then I added a dot of dark blue in the bottom of the light blue oval using Orly Royal Navy. I topped it off with a top coat of HK Girl. It didn't smear the design at all!

I really like the way they turned out. If I had to change anything I would make the wisps longer I think.
A couple of these products were previously sent to me for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

Dear all I hope you are having a great end to 2012! Could you please help me? I have got a Husqvarna 340 Chain Saw which I have just brought. it all runs perfect apart from there is no oil getting to the chain. I have taken the bar off and when running the oil is pumping out of the channel to the side of the bar. I have cleaned out the groves in the bar and also the hole in the side of the bar where the oil should pass through to the chain but there is still no oil hitting the chain. this does not make sense to me so any light on this woul dbe fantastic. Please Help if you can ;o) Chris |
Follow-Up Postings:
1. Are you sure the alignment of the oil port on the saw and bar are aligned/mating? 2. Has the saw oiled the chain and bar before??? 3. It is hard to see why they w/n mate and oil except some bars are designed to fit only one-way. 4. I have laser tip bars that will fit up or down vs an anti-kick-back (curved up with a sprocket that fits one-way). |
Hi Loger, I have not had this saw long but it has not oiled since I have had it, I have checked that it is the correct bar in my local store so I am hoping that the oil port is lining up although this does seam like the option left? It has a oil port on both sides and I have cleaned then out fully with a wire and a air line. I have now taken the oil screw out and everything at that end is working well and in good condition so I am completely stumped ;o( Chris |

You are not stupid but a concerned troubleshooter IMO! If you had used the saw w/o solving this issue it could have been a waste. I was taught to oil the saw manually from a oil can or etc if the oiler d/n work or for extra oil. Take Care W/O That Word! |
I have 345 oil don't immediately flow to the chain. I have to let it warm up hold the tip of the bar close to something (tree, carboard box, or something that will show oil being thrown off) rev it several times before oil will start slinging off the bar. IMO it may take few seconds to minute for the oil to work it way into the bar to be thrown off. That's the only way I can tell if the bar is getting oil before I begain to cut with it. Your 340 has no oil flow adjustment. oil pump maybe too weak to feed the bar??? Just guessing? I don't see how the bar is the problem it will go on either way (husq numbers right side up or upside down, the oil feeder holes align either way). But I only run chain one direction once it gets wear pattern. |
I have not repaired an Husky 345 in some time . I would follow RC as for his simple and time proven method for checking oiler operation during initial startup. You have not indicated the age or maintainance of your unit . Some older saws used a duckbill check valve upstream of the oiler reservoir to ensure system pressure upon startup. Over time these valves leak by and flow may not be instantaneous therefore RCs proceedure to ensure bar oiling . Sometimes also the system can become sluggish due to internal gumming over the yrs combined with dirt or grime , sawdust etc. In the past solvents such as keroseen have been utlized for purging of the system grime. I also have always advised clients to use the lightest bar oil possible . Winter grade may use more oil but in the long run it will ensure system flow and cleaning on the go long term and that is what increases bar and chain life. I only have used heavier grade oil when cutting commercially where hotter ambient temps may be realized . |
I had the same problem on a different brand of saw and was able to solve it by adding a gasket to both sides of the bar around the oil port. Evidently there was just enough distortion in the bar to allow oil to leak down the side of the bar and not go into the bar channel. |

Hello, new poster to the Plumbing forum. I would like to know a little about putting together a shower system. I am wanting a simple shower with some style. I like the idea of having a wall bar and a movable shower head that runs up and down the bar for different heights. I want the shower head to function as a hand held shower as well, to help with cleaning the shower. I have not determined if I will replace the tub for a tub/shower configuration or make this into a shower only system. This is a daily used BR but is very small - about 5'x7.5'.
I know there has to be some behind the scenes parts and this depends if the water mixes behind the wall or in the exposed fixture. In the bath in question for this post I would like to look into options to use a line of Axor.
Follow-Up Postings:
Hansgrohe has a design guide on their website detailing the behind the scenes action. Kohler has a similar one. Both are helpful to get an idea of how things work. |
Antsss, thank you very much for this helpful info. I will take a look. |

AUDUSD Bearish Breakout – Hits Seven-Month Low
- Data released overnight from the the Australian Bureau of Statistics has revealed that building approvals dropped versus expectations for January. Company gross profits also declined in the December reporting period, as earnings weakened in manufacturing and mining firms.
- The above has seen the Australian dollar/US dollar currency pair trade lower, with an initial breakout under the key consolidation support area around the 1.0150 mark. This area has previously seen demand during September and October of 2012.
- A breakout under this 1.0150 area also represents a break under the longer term (W1) ascending trend line, as per the weekly chart below.
- Price action around this area is viewed as key in the near term, with market participants looking to see whether there is a close under support, or whether a false breakout scenario is seen.
- Further to this technical breakout scenario, the key Australian dollar event risk this week is the Reserve Bank of Australia's (RBA) monthly interest rate decision, due later this week.
- The consensus is that the RBA will keep interest rates on hold at the board meeting tomorrow, according to Credit Suisse data. The longer term view has the market pricing in two additional cuts of 0.25 percent, in 2013, potentially taking the cash rate to 2.5 percent. The RBA held borrowing rates unchanged last month.

Kala P et al. – In a consecutive AMI population, the older group (>65 years) was associated with a less pronounced impact of risk factors on long–term outcome. To ascertain the coronary anatomy by coronary angiography and proceed to PCI if suitable regardless of age is crucial in all patients, though the primary success rate of PCI in the older age is lower. Age, when viewed as a risk factor, was a dominant discriminating factor in all patients.
Methods- Retrospective multicenter analysis of 3814 consecutive acute myocardial infarction patients divided into two groups according to age (1800 patients [less than or equal to] 65 years and 2014 patients > 65 years).
- Significantly more older patients had a history of diabetes mellitus and previous myocardial infarctions.
- The older population had a significantly lower rate of coronary angiographies (1726; 95.9% vs. 1860; 92.4%, p < 0.0001), PCI (1541; 85.6% vs. 1505; 74.7%, p < 0.001), achievement of optimal final TIMI flow 3 (1434; 79.7% vs. 1343; 66.7%, p < 0.001) and higher rate of unsuccessful reperfusion with final TIMI flow 0–1 (46; 2.6% vs. 78; 3.9%, p = 0.022).
- A total of 217 patients (5.7%) died during hospitalization, significantly more often in the older population (46; 2.6% vs. 171; 8.5%, p < 0.001).
- The long–term mortality (data for 2847 patients from 2 centers) was higher in the older population as well (5 years survival: 86.1% vs. 59.8%).
- Though not significantly different and in contrast with PCI, the presence of diabetes mellitus, previous MI, final TIMI flow and LAD, as the infarct–related artery, had relatively lower impact on the older patients.
- Severe heart failure on admission (Killip III–IV) was associated with the worst prognosis in the whole group of patients, though its significance was higher in the youngers (HR 6.04 vs. 3.14, p = 0.051 for Killip III and 12.24 vs. 5.65, p = 0.030 for Killip IV).
- Authors clearly demonstrated age as a strong discriminator for the whole population of AMI patients.

Linux Chrome with Gtk+: Cross-Platform Complication
If Google were to use Qt, things would be much simpler and Chrome would have a unified interface under Windows, Linux and Mac OS X. But Google isn't satisfied with Qt.
Release of the native Linux version of the Google Chrome browser is still planned for June 2009. Unfortunately, more problems than first anticipated keep cropping up. According to recent OSnews, they mainly have to do with the graphical interface.
Google uses an internal views library for Chrome's user interface that enables, for example, placement of tabs in the title bar with the idea of adhering to the Chrome principles "simple, unobtrusive, fast." Because Chrome was never from the start conceived as multi-platform software (how would it otherwise have come to the idea of using WinHTTP), the views were never ported to Linux or Mac. Google had already decided a long time ago not to use views for the Mac version, but to rely instead on a completely native version of Chrome based on Cocoa. For Linux, Chrome hacker Evan Martin suggests three possible options:
1) As close to Windows as possible, porting views.
2) As close to native as possible, avoiding views.
3) Something in the middle, hacking views.
Martin eliminates 1 right from the get-go, calls 2 "insane, becoming more tempting," but prefers option 3. Meanwhile, Chrome project lead Ben Goodger has slipped into the discussion to explain why Chrome decided against Qt as a cross-platform solution and chose Gtk+ instead. More details on Goodger's views here.
Why not Qt?
The licensing hasn't been an issue since 2005, when Trolltech finally released Qt/Windows under the GPL, but maybe Google was working on Chrome before then, when Qt/Windows was still under a proprietary license? Sure, it would've been easier for the Google developers to use Qt so that there would only need to be a single code base for all three platforms, but it's not the answer if you want to build apps on either Windows or Mac OS X that are truly native. -
Re: At the time qt was incumbered
Your "facts" about Qt are just plain wrong, and everybody capable of checking Qt's licensing can see that. You people spreading FUD about Qt without having a clue are so annoying.
At the time qt was incumbered
When Google was first considering the Chrome project Qt was still under a very non-open license. Sure you could use Qt for non-commercial apps running under linux, but under windows not so. So using Qt on windows would have been prohibitive based on cost (until very recently developing Qt apps in windows cost a lot). Also The goal was to create a very fast browser. To that end Google, on the Windows platform, made sure to make use of low level Windows calls (there is much use of Windows Active Template Library). Simply put Qt could not offer the same level of performance on Windows. period. So The entire cross platform argument is also out the window. I know that there is a very active qt vs gtk+ (which mirrors the KDE vs Gnome debate), but really?

As we all know, celebrities end up in weird combinations all the time because they spend so much of their expensive time in places for celebrities where there are just other celebrities hanging around doing famous stuff. It's kind of weird to us stupid, gross civilians with our threadbare wallets and our soup stains. But to celebrities it is just a matter of course. You're bound to find yourself sharing a bottle of vodka with a sparkler shooting out the top of it on a private jet to Dubai with a pop star, Julian Schnabel, a former president, and Moby (always Moby). Nevertheless, every once in awhile there is a particular combination that is extra surprising. This is one of those cases. John Waters and Justin Bieber? Who knows. Mysteries are all around us. I'm sure there's an obvious explanation but let me ask you this: would you even want it? LIVE IN THE MOMENT. And then caption it.

It would also be cool if they were conjoined twins, and they had covered it up pretty well until now.
Long functioning as John Waters' fully internalized parasitic twin, Justin Bieber knew that once he left he could never go back inside, but he was determined to make a go of it on his own.
Meetings between the two were awkward now at best, but they maintained a strained civility. "Keep up appearances, Justin," John had told him when they'd said goodbye for the first time in their shared life. But in the quiet moments he missed his brother, and sought to mirror him in what seemed to the rest of the world utterly inexplicable behaviors. "Oh Justin," John would sigh, seeing a photo of the international pop star with a pencil-thin "mustache" shoddily scribbled onto his upper lip. "I miss you too, dear boy."
"If you go home with somebody, and they don't have books, don't fuck 'em." -John Waters
"Don't take them to my house, got it." -Justin Bieber
Don't ask, don't KISS N TELL
This is totally inappropriate (especially since I met John Waters, and he really is a super nice guy), but ya know what, fuck it!, I can't help myself.

OK - I have been googling this trying to make sense of it. Of course, I want to make my own, be great for Xmas gifts for family we are visiting over Thanksgiving.
So, I have bamboo skewers, cute bottles, and a couple of samples of really good parfum (you know, those little tiny tubes). Is that what you use and what do you mix it with? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I don't think regular perfume works. I believe it has to be scented oils. I've never used them, but have checked them out in stores. |
- Posted by addicted2junk (My Page) on Fri, Oct 10, 08 at 12:51
I don't think you would need to mix anything with it. The diffuser reeds that you buy from the store is basically the same thing. Perfumers alcohol mixed with fragrance oil which I would assume is the same thing as perfume!! I make mine with everclear (yes, the liquior) and fragrance oil that I also use for my candles. Give it a try and let us know how it worked. |

I used bamboo skewers and vanilla fragrance oil from Micheals. Don't forget to turn the "diffusers" over every day, but so far it has worked. Was surprised couldn't find real reed diffusers at Michels, maybe I just missed them. |
danaoh ~ thanks for the trick of turning the reeds over every other day. I just picked up a couple of these "fragrance diffusers" at Wal-Mart, and the how-to-use instructions say dip one end into the oil, then flip the reeds and re-insert the opposite try end into the bottle. They don't say flip them every other day. My biggest fear is that the man-of-the-house :) is a super klutz and may knock the bottles over....oil and all! |
Duh...Make that "the dry end". Fat fingers and arthritis make spelling mistakes, not me! :) |
anyone know where you can purchase just the reeds?? checked Michaels, Hobby Lobby, Target, and they all come with the jar and oil already. |
I couldn't find them either, so I used bamboo skewers. Cut off the tips, both ends. Seems to be working just fine. |

Hi -- I had to look at what these diffusers are, because when I saw "reed" I got very curious. I weave baskets and weavers commonly use reed. I saw the prices they're selling pre-cut reed to make these diffusers with and OMG are they expensive!!! You only need to know what size (diameter) reed you'd like, and you can get a bundle (1 lb) of it much cheaper from a basketry supply store. Just cut your own reed to the length you prefer! Not sure if I can list my favorite suppliers here.... |

I just made some with Febreeze and bamboo kabob skewers. I poured some in a pretty green jar when this post came out on the 10th, and it works great, and smells so nice. I keep turning the skewers over every few days. |
