Franco rocks 'solo' at Music Museum
More News from Karen Boncocan
MANILA, Philippines—Stepping back up on stage after last year's breakup with the members of a group revered by many as a "superband", Franco Reyes is back with a new album and a whole lot of gratitude for his loyal fans.
"I can't thank you enough. My friends, we are one again tonight," the songwriter-musician called out to the packed Music Museum on Saturday night.
The phrase "we are one again tonight" elicited murmurs of agreement in the audience who recognized the line from the lyrics of the hit "The Gathering" from the first album.
The group, when it blew Metro Manila away with its 11-track album back in 2010, gained quite a following, having an all-star line-up consisting of Reyes, Urbandub's Gabby Alipe and Janjan Mendoza, Queso's Ocho Toleran, and Parokya ni Edgar's Buwi Meneses.
The sudden news of Franco's members going their separate ways in 2012 no doubt broke a lot of hearts but Reyes has taken on much of the work on what was then a much-awaited 17-track follow-up to the self-titled debut.
The new album, "Soul Adventurer," was released in February and what better way to promote Reyes' comeback as a solo artist than with a concert and the launch of his newest music video.
Facing the concert crowd, Reyes opened his solo concert with the energetic "Moonset", a track from "Soul Adventurer," with a new lineup in the band: Paul Cañada on guitars, Dave Delfin on bass and Victor Guison on drums.
The audience was enthusiastic throughout the concert, despite the new faces on stage with Reyes, some even professed love for the t-shirt and jeans-clad frontman during breaks between songs.
The crowd welcomed the new lineup, cheering as Reyes introduced Cañada, Delfin and Guison, whom he picked out to play his music much of which is rock with some infused with reggae and even—electronica for "Lover's Fire."
The setlist for the concert was a mix of old and new songs, such was the case when the band struck up "Seasons," a track from the self-titled album which came out three years ago, and followed it up with the edgy "To Survive," off the second album.
Music Museum is a theater that does not allow space for a mosh pit in front of the stage, but Reyes' fans did their best, standing and coming closer to the stage—a scene typical of a small gig in a bar on a weekend night.
When "To Survive" came, Reyes urged his audience to move closer to feel the heavy beats pounding off the stage. "Come and stand up, this is a rock concert, you can all sit after it's done."
Two more tracks from the second album came next, the crowd moving to the rhythms of "Beautiful Diversion" and "Muse."
"Muse" was "dedicated to all the lovely women out there," said Reyes, the stage lights shifting from the usual green to a gleaming combination of red and purple.
Reyes' voice broke when he got to the line "don't say goodbye" in the song "Last Waltz," something which would recur when he replaces his electric guitar with an acoustic one to play "For My Dearly Departed."
"My Dearly Departed" was for his late father, he told the audience. "I wrote this for my dad. I was lucky enough to have him listen to it on his death bed."
The audience went quiet and sat down when he sang the melancholy song about the passing of a loved one, left alone on stage with his acoustic guitar.
"I was really happy he was able to listen to it before he died," he said.
He added his late father told him it was "a really nice song."
But while many in the crowd knew and sang to "Renewal," "A Beautiful Diversion," "Better Days," "Across the Milkyway" and "Uprising"—songs from the new album it seemed that the real treat to their senses were the old songs.
They were more than willing to sing along to "Seasons," the haunting "Last Waltz," "Dearly Departed," "A Mass for the End of Time," and "Memorykill"—specifically the latter's lyrics "save the earth we call home."
But they knew the lyrics to songs both old and new, bobbing their heads and stamping their feet to the beat, and for this, they earned Reyes' approval and smiles that night.
So grateful was Reyes that he thanked his fans almost after every song they played.
"To everybody who's here, thanks. To those who continue to support OPM, you make us feel blessed," he said.
"It's my first time to play here. Thank you for making this night a great one. Wala akong masabi, salamat talaga," Reyes told the crowd.
A unison of groans filled the theater when he announced that they were reaching the end of the concert when they played "Next Train Out" and "The Gathering"—the latter won Song of the Year back in 2010 in the now defunct rock station NU 107's Rock Awards.
Told that they would be able to view the music video for "Better Days," the crowd settled down, gazes fixed at the screen which showed Reyes and the band's new lineup at the beach, surfing and skateboarding to the reggae-rock track.
Franco resumed the show with the electronica-infused "Lover's Fire," a song which tore away from Reyes' usual genre, and capped off the show with favorites from the old album "Castaway" and "Song for the Suspect."
The old album was a breakthrough, the new one is hopeful, and it was clear that thankful for his loyal following, Reyes is learning "to survive" and would continue making music, despite the change in band lineup.

Evelyn Lozada took a couple swipes at Jennifer Williams on the latest episode of "Basketball Wives."
Shaunie O'Neal had a rather unpleasant surprise for Evelyn when she announced that Jen would be invited to her birthday party. If it wasn't such a big day for her friend (and boss), Evelyn might have skipped the party. But because Shaunie means so much to her, the bride-to-be decided that she could suck it up and break bread with Jen for one night.
Tami Roman said she'd also be front and center for the celebration. She wouldn't have missed it for the world! In fact, she admitted that she'd be very interested to see if any confrontations popped off during the bash.
Meanwhile Royce Reed and Suzie Ketcham got a little chance to learn more about Kesha Nichols when they visited her hometown of Drexel, North Carolina.
While Kesha might have a distinct preference for a posh lifestyle, she is a country girl at heart. She's spent lots of time on her family farm on Nichols Hill and she knows how to scoot around on ATV. We have to admit it did look like fun!
Royce was a little thrown by Kesha's family. Royce was aware that Kesha is bi-racial and that half of her family is White, but she wasn't expecting them to be as White as they are.
She quickly got over her shock and enjoyed her visit to the farm as she sat down for some good grub at the family table.
After that trip to Kesha's hometown Royce wanted to make a little peace between Kesha and Tami. Tami can be a bit touchy at times, but she's usually pretty good about giving people more than one chance to be cool with her. After all, she was about to sue Evelyn last season, now they seem to be the very best of friends.
Royce is just curious as to why that same courtesy has not been extended to Kesha. And the tiny dancer was not afraid to call Tami out on that point.
Despite Royce's advocacy, it still doesn't look like Kesha and Tami will be heading out for drinks any times oon.
Elsewhere, Evelyn was hammering out the details of her book deal with Cash Money. She was nervous to meet with Baby, revealing that she knows her fame will only last so long and she's trying to capitialize on her brand while it's still hot.
"I need to make these 15 minutes last longer than 15 minutes," she explained.
Shaunie's party was already going to be an evening full of awkward since both Evelyn and Jen were going to be on hand. Then they added lots of alcohol the the mix, and you know that doesn't lead anywhere good.
Kenya Bell got up to make a little speech, which many felt was a little out of place. Ultimately her comments were pretty harmless while still pretty much being focused on herself. We get where she was coming from, as she was just thanking Shaunie for the chance to really step out of her estranged husband's shadow.
But if what happened at Royce's charity event taught us anything, it's that Suzie is the one you need to watch. After she's had a few drinks, she gets a little loud and sometimes says things that could get her in trouble.
Case in point: During a toast, Suzie offhandedly brought up Tami's past dependence on food stamps. It was while pointing out how thankful the cast (and subsequently their bank accounts) are for the show, but it still rubbed Tami the wrong way.
Gee! After her season 2 battle with Jen about the same subject we don't know why Suzie couldn't have thought mentioning food stamps was cool.
These woman need to stick to what they know, which does not include raising a toast! We have never heard such thinly veiled insults being thrown around during a moment of celebration.
Evely may have genuinely meant her words just for Shaunie. She's been through a lot over the last year as long-standing friendships have broken down for various reasons. In that context, we can see how Evelyn might be truly grateful to Shaunie for sticking by her in such uncertain times. And she's definitely thankful to Shaunie for turning her into a household name, which has brought her some very lucrative business opportunities.
On the other hand, it was hard not to feel like Evelyn may have been taking a couple of shots at Jen with that toast.
Jen could have taken the high road and not made a rebuttal toast, but this is "Basketball Wives." Likewise, Evelyn could have saved her second toast, but again, this is "Basketball Wives."
After the season premiere, it's no surprise that Jen piped up, but Evelyn took it to a whole different level when she popped her ex-BFF in the back of the head with her clutch.

Exactly what I was looking for3/20/2007
After struggling with a couple of IOGear switches that either didn't work or only partially worked, the StarTech switch has been a welcome change. The setup was a snap, and the performance is excellent. It works with both my Mac and PC. I'm glad I went with one of StarTech's "professional" level products, too. I have one of the "economy" level switches at work, which does work well, but there is an evident decrease in signal to the monitor, which I don't notice on this switch. It's worth the extra money. The only problem I have had is that my wireless mouse doesn't seem to want to work with it.

very sad SRK you did not won award this year.you are the master of acting and you are the best and this is a universal truth..Ranbeer kapoor won award because he did a fantastic job in rockstar...so as@SONISAIM said plz enjoy the victory of srk but dont bash shahrukh khan.
considering last year bollywood didnt had much film to credit for...well of lot rockstar's ranbir kapoor performance deserved the black lady but i dnt there there was much competetion...it was something clear cut...and cheers to pc...she was awesome in 7 khoon maaf
ohh my srk didnot win best actor award.but congrtaz ranbeer and vidya.and bashers if you guys are happy then please only enjoy the victory of ranbeer and vidya but don't say blah blah about srk ok.
SRK does not need a 'special' category to receive an award. His mere presence in Bollywood is a gift to all film-makers and a pleasure for us audiences.
congrats ranbeer and vidya.i am very upset that srk did not win best actor award,but its ok.new comars ko bi chance milna chahiay.
first tyme got the deserving pple..every tyme it wont have to be SRK!!! congra Ranbir and viday ..u both did gud job
Loved both of their performance this year. Their acting was so natural... Well deserved.
Best actor and actress awards went to worthy winners. Thank god this year the organisers did not introduced a category so that SRK get it. SRK fans don't get upset but think and face the truth that organisers have introduced a category just to give it to SRK. Why, because prev. Filmfare awards were held at Yash Raj Studios. Each year they introduced one category which has not been repeated following year but another one introduced
i think priyanka deserves the best actress award for 7 khoon maaf...
it was fab movie n she done a fantastic job...ager movie hit nhi hoti hai to iska matlap ye nhi ki performence acchi nhi hai...

This is a great wheel for hamsters. Doesn't make any noise and comes apart completely for a really good cleaning. Will be getting one for my rats soon. My hamster did start chewing on it a little since it is plastic.
Pros: doesn't make any noise, comes apart for cleaning
Cons: plastic so it can get chewed

Before plunging into TomDispatch regular Ira Chernus's piece on political dreaming, there's one historical reality worth considering in the largely dreamless night that is our present planet. As everyone knows -- but few give the slightest thought to these days -- the Soviet Union, that "evil empire," that other "superpower," gave up the ghost in 1991. In that moment, history as humanity had long known it ended. A series of great power rivalries that dated back at least to the sixteenth century, often involving several imperial states, each eager to gain further control over parts of the planet, was instantly relegated to the dustbin of human experience. More than half a millennium of history came to an end with only one imperial power left standing, representing a single economic system, a single way of life, a single way of thinking called capitalism. On Planet Earth, it no longer mattered whether you called yourself a "communist" power, you were traveling "the capitalist road," as was everyone, whether they liked it or not.
I suspect we still haven't fully absorbed the meaning of that moment. If 1992 was Year One of the new system, the following years would be hailed as the era of "globalization." That was the word chosen to celebrate the triumph of Washington and its global system, the much-hailed victory of Hollywood, the Swoosh, the Golden Arches, and the so-called Washington consensus. There can be no question that one kind of dreaming, or perhaps a dreamy public-relations frenzy, was sparked at that moment and didn't end until the global economic meltdown of 2007-2008. Then, the dirty underside of capitalism's great boom was revealed for all to see (and feel), while a spotlight suddenly fell on the rise of "the 1%" and ever more staggering economic inequality.
In those years, something else occurred: a kind of flattening of the planet that wouldn't have made a bestselling book for New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman. Think of it as a let-the-good-times-roll(-over-you) phenomenon. With all other systems discredited and abandoned, with only one way to imagine, political dreaming was flattened, too. Wherever you looked, it seemed that you just saw another version of the same old same old. Without a sense that alternatives were possible, it proved remarkably hard to dream, to have a vision of something else, something better.
It's strange, though, how few have mentioned the global dreamlessness of the post-1991 era, which is why Chernus's piece couldn't be more timely -- especially in this post-meltdown moment when, as revolts and turmoil grow across an increasingly crippled planet, we are being shown the way into a world of darkness and fears, but also new dreams and hopes. That some of us dream in waking life is crucial, as Chernus points out today, because if you can't dream, politically speaking, if you can't imagine a different world, how will you begin to fix the one we have, the ever hotter, more tumultuous planet we continue to create, to the detriment of those who follow us? Tom
Political Dreaming in the Twenty-First Century
Where Has It Gone?
By Ira Chernus
All right, I confess: I have a dream. I bet you do, too. I bet yours, like mine, is of a far, far better world not only for yourself and your loved ones, but for everyone on this beleaguered planet of ours.
And I bet you, like me, rarely talk to anyone about your dreams, even if you spend nearly all your time among politically active people working to improve the planet. Perhaps these days it feels somehow just too naïve, too unrealistic, too embarrassing. So instead, you focus your energy on the nuts and bolts of what's wrong with the world, what has to be fixed immediately.
I'm thinking that it's time to try a different approach -- to keep feeling and voicing what Martin Luther King, Jr., called "the fierce urgency of now," but balance it with a dose of another political lesson he taught us: the irresistible power of dreaming.
I started reflecting on this when I returned from a long trip and found my email inbox crammed with hundreds of urgent messages from progressive groups and news sources, all sounding the alarm about the latest outrages, horrors, and disgraces, punctuated by an occasional call for a new policy to right at least one of the horrendous wrongs described and denounced.
Suddenly, I found myself thinking: Same old same old. The particular words keep changing, but the basic message and the music of our song of frustrated lament remain the same. We give the people the shocking facts and call them to action. And we wonder: Why don't they listen?
Then I looked at the calendar and noticed that the end of the summer would bring the 50th anniversary of Dr. King's greatest speech -- and I realized what was missing from virtually all those email messages: Where was the dream? Where was the debate about what the world we seek would look like?
In most of them I could dimly sense that the writer might indeed have a vision of a better world. But it was always hidden somewhere between the lines, as if in the century when capitalism had "triumphed" and nowhere on Earth did there seem to be an alternative, the writer was ashamed to speak such things aloud.
Occupied Dreams
It wasn't always so. I remember how incensed I used to get in the 1960s when hearing the charge from the right: "Those hippie radicals. They don't know what they're for, only what they're against." "Those hippie radicals" knew what they were for: concrete changes in political policies that would turn their dreams into reality. And they talked constantly about the dreams as well as the policies.
It was Dr. King, above all, who inspired them. If, on that hot summer day in 1963, he had only denounced the evils of racism and proposed policy remedies, we would scarcely recall his speech half a century later. It holds a special place in our public memory only because he concluded by confessing his dream. Daring to be a public dreamer propelled him to greatness.
Now, I fear, we mostly talk only about what we're against. The just-give-'em-the-facts approach, so tilted toward denunciation (however well deserved), scarcely leaves room for any other impression.
There are still a few dreamers. You can find them among environmental activists, who give us science fiction-like descriptions of technology that can create a clean, sustainable environment for the whole biosphere. Except that isn't simply a fantasy: much of the technology already exists.
You can also find dreamers in religious communities, sharing the words of holy scriptures informed by eschatological visions of a better future. Occasionally, even a hard-boiled devotee of the facts like Noam Chomsky gives us a peek into his dream: a world without borders.
Not long ago, you could find dreamers occupying parks and public spaces across the country, short-lived as their moment was mainly because of an onslaught of police violence. For that brief season, they showed us that our dreams had been occupied and needed to be freed. In the past, though, movements have persisted much longer, even in the face of massive state violence.
The Occupy movement, however, emerged in a distinctly twenty-first-century world in which activists have long become accustomed to hiding their dreams. Without such shared dreams, political activism can easily feel like nothing more than an endless struggle against insurmountable odds -- like being part of a small band of good guys besieged on every side. Who can blame them for feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, and hopeless?
Once most Occupiers were forced to retreat from public spaces, I suspect they, too, felt tired, cramped, hemmed in. Occupy could flourish only in the open, where people could share their dreams and imagine that all the boundaries that limit us might, in that open-air spirit, dissolve.
Realism and Dreams
Boundaries and limitations dissolving: that's not merely Chomsky's dream, it's the essence of all dreaming -- to transcend the barriers that separate one person from another, one group or nation from another, and all humanity from its natural environment.
Dreaming is the realm of pure freedom. In dreams, we can see, do, or be anything. When our dreams are political, they help us sense what it might be like to escape the limits imposed by corporations, the state, the media, the advertisers, powerful forces of every kind. They help us imagine in new ways what is possible. In our dreams, none of the powers that be can touch us.
Freud said that every dream is the fulfillment of a wish, but political dreams aren't about our private desires. They are visions of the public realm being freed from the artificial divisions and constraints of the present. There, as in our nighttime dreaming, we experience whole new worlds, constantly changing, often in remarkable detail. Dreaming is the realm of permanent revolution that the great political visionaries from Thomas Jefferson to Che Guevara spoke of.
Constant change, pure freedom, the sense that anything is possible: combined, they can give us the daytime energy we need to work for change despite the obstacles and failures we inevitably face. When political life is infused with a dream, traveling without a map can feel exhilarating. In politics as in physiology, we must dream on a regular basis to restore our energy.
But a political dream is quite different from the dreaming of sleep because it happens while we are wide-awake. It may even make us feel more awake, allowing us to pierce the pre-packaged version of reality handed to us by the rich and powerful, who demand that we take their distorted version of how this place, this country, this planet works as "realism" itself.
When we see by the light of imagined futures, the present and its real possibilities come into clearer view, offering us a broader framework into which we can fit the chaotic pieces of current reality and the specific changes we are working for.
We don't have to wait for some distant future to see our dreams realized. The essence of the nonviolent action that Dr. King preached is to pierce the lies and distortions in the here and now by acting out, with our bodies, the authentic reality we have seen -- to persist in what is really real (which is the best translation I know of Gandhi's term satyagraha).
So we should never let anyone dismiss our political dreams as "unrealistic." The world as we wish it to be is no mere fantasy. It is often our most reliable guide to knowing the truth.
Never Stop Dreaming
Whether they know it or not, everyone has their own dream of the world as it should be, and every dream is open to endless interpretation. Dr. King had his. I've got my interpretation of his. I've got my own, too. And you've got yours. The point is not to argue about who has the one "correct" dream, but to bring all of our dreams out of the closet and voice them openly, share our interpretations of each other's dreams, and start a conversation about the politics of dreaming.
When that kind of dream-sharing becomes part of political life, it begins to create myths. By "myth" I don't mean a lie. I mean a story that a community tells itself to interpret its life, to express the fundamentals of its worldview and values, to give meaning and hope to events great and small.
A myth, it is often said, is a collective dream. In myths, as in dreams, anything can happen. And once new myths start circulating, anything can indeed happen. There is a real chance that one myth (or several with much in common) will -- by some mysterious, unpredictable process -- grab hold of a big enough part of the body politic to stir it to action. The U.S saw that process at work in the 1770s (the dream of a republic), the 1860s (the dream of abolishing slavery), and the mid-1930s (the dream of basic economic security for all).
In the late 1960s, the dream of radical democracy and equality for all took hold in millions of American minds. It happened surprisingly fast. In 1963, when Dr. King gave the nation permission to share our dreams, few could have imagined how radically the political and cultural landscape would be reshaped by new myths within just a few years.
Of course, we should never confuse our dreams and myths with specific policy proposals. That would endanger the chances of achieving policies that could bring us a few steps closer to realizing those dreams. Policies, after all, are always political artifacts, produced by compromises between our dreams and the hard facts of the present.
The coming commemoration of the "dream" speech should remind us of Dr. King's recipe for meaningful political change: take one part facts to reveal the world's evils, one part policy proposals to remove those evils, one part shrewd political strategy, and one part dreams -- shared aloud -- and stir artfully into a political movement.
So don't stop shouting from the rooftops about everything that's outrageously wrong. Don't stop the grinding political work of changing specific policies. But take the time to show how your outrage, policies, and politics are propelled by your dreams. Share those dreams: talk or write or draw or sing or dance them. Describe the kind of world you are working for and show how it could be linked to policies and politics. And don't let anyone dismiss you as an "unrealistic dreamer."
Yes, it's true, the world will never look exactly like our mythic dreams. But we can't get to any better future unless we first imagine that future, together. A political dream is a magnet that pulls us toward our goals. It may also be an asymptote -- a promised land that we can never reach. Yet even if we never get there, every dream takes us closer to a transformed reality.

Sorry to hear kitty died hope he'll take the news ok. that's why I'm big on animals on leashes. even cats can be leash trained (they act like their a POW though but I have a couple friends with leash trained cats)
I am so sorry! My first cat was eaten by coyotes while being watched by my parents. I still have not forgiven them since I told them not to let her out.That is why my cats are indoor only. I would just hug him first thing when he walks in the door and tell him straight up.
25 years old * Married
From Denver, Colorado
I just read this now (3/13), I am so sorry. I know the loss of a beloved pet as our furbaby only lasted 3 weeks after LO was born, we were devastated & still cry these days. I hope he took the news well, please update..

Geneva Conventions
Geneva Conventions
Geneva Conventions, series of treaties signed (1864–1949) in Geneva, Switzerland, providing for humane treatment of combatants and civilians in wartime. The first convention, signed by 16 nations, covered the protection of sick and wounded soldiers and medical personnel and facilities, and was instrumental in the development of the International Committee of the Red Cross. Later conventions extended (1906) the first to naval warfare and covered (1929) the treatment of prisoners of war. As a result of World War II, particularly of the conduct of Germany and Japan, four conventions were adopted in 1949 to strengthen and codify earlier treaties and safeguard civilians.

I have yet to hear anything about Zac's younger sisters plans to circumnavigate eclipsing big brothers record.
Somewhere along the way, I mentioned to my 5 year old Daughter that she had but 4 or 5 years at the most to learn to singlehand and navigate solo around the world. She scowled at me in ponderance and replied with first a question and then a statement, she said ; "is Mommy going ?" which is her first concern no-matter what I suggest. to which I responded- No , solo means going alone.
To which she replied- "Daddy, YOU don't get to decide what I want to be when I grow up, I get to decide that."
So, I told her maybe we'll just all have to go together. She said that might be OK as long as Mommy goes too.
Darn, I was ready to start looking for corporate sponsors and everything ! I thought maybe the makers of Barby and toys r us would jump aboard. Oh well !
I guess I'm sentenced to singlehanding with a (sometimes reluctant)family/galley cook and occasional helmsman assistent.
Apparently not everyone has the drive/interest and unrelenting curiosity to see the world from the deck of a small sailing craft.
But speaking for those of us who do (if I may be so bold) Please, don't put any more obsticles in our way than what already exist.
It's bad enough that I was born 2-300 years after my time !

Metabolic classification of microbial genomes using functional probes

Microorganisms able to grow under artificial culture conditions comprise only a small proportion of the biosphere's total microbial community. Until recently, scientists have been unable to perform thorough analyses of difficult-to-culture microorganisms due to limitations in sequencing technology. As modern techniques have dramatically increased sequencing rates and rapidly expanded the number of sequenced genomes, in addition to traditional taxonomic classifications which focus on the evolutionary relationships of organisms, classifications of the genomes based on alternative points of view may help advance our understanding of the delicate relationships of organisms.
We have developed a proteome-based method for classifying microbial species. This classification method uses a set of probes comprising short, highly conserved amino acid sequences. For each genome, in silico translation is performed to obtained its proteome, based on which a probe-set frequency pattern is generated. Then, the probe-set frequency patterns are used to cluster the proteomes/genomes.
Features of the proposed method include a high running speed in challenge of a large number of genomes, and high applicability for classifying organisms with incomplete genome sequences. Moreover, the probe-set clustering method is sensitive to the metabolic phenotypic similarities/differences among species and is thus supposed potential for the classification or differentiation of closely-related organisms.

Nature spins magic in Enchanted River
Looking at pictures of the Enchanted River in countless Internet sites, one may scream "Photoshopped!" But such is the essence of the most famous tourist spot in Hinatuan, Surigao del Sur: It's too magical to be natural.
Barangay Cambatong, where the river is found, is steeped in oral tradition. And the lore of how the water body got its mystical tint is not hard to believe. For who else could have created this bewitching palette of colors but the ethereal beings endowed with the powers of magic and enchantment?
Legend has it that one firefly-lit night, fairies floated above the river while elves watched from cliffs and banks. With their wands, the fairies stirred the water, toyed with sapphire and jade, and made the tones fade and meld to achieve a shade of bluish green that now paints the riverbed.
Twelve kilometers from the highway junction, the Enchanted River shapes the boundary of Barangays Talisay and Cambatong in Hinatuan. Though some portions of the well-maintained dirt road are undulating, these don't make the ride bumpy and dusty as some tourists wrote in their blogs.
What lends credence to the river's name? Fishermen swear to seeing various fish but couldn't catch any no matter how they tried—not by hand, spear or net. Fishwives lay their fish traps at dusk only to find them hanging on a branch the day after. A foreigner plunges into the visible riverbed and finds it unfathomable. A father and son see two long-haired, alabaster-skinned women bathing under a plump moon then vanishing in a swirl of fireflies. Boatmen gape at sunken boulders of twisted images that are there one day and gone the next.
Neptune's party
Also, there's a cave farther away, just before the river flows out to the Hinatuan Bay facing the Pacific Ocean. Accessible by foot during low tide, the cave showcases limestone naturally carved as furniture sets and positioned as though Neptune were hosting a party for underwater denizens.
An added attraction when visiting the Enchanted River happens at noon when the bell is rung and bathers are requested to get out of the water for about an hour. As the Hinatuan Hymn begins to play, groups of fish come out from nowhere like on cue and feed on food scraps the caretaker and tourists throw into the river. This feeding frenzy makes spinning scales and tails catch light, turning the natural pool into a liquid canvas of the magical and the fabulous.
It was the Father of Tourism himself, Modesto Farolan, who gave it its name through a poem titled "Rio Encantado" (The same had been set to music by Francisco Rio). Then a prewar manager of the Madrigal-owned Port Lamon Lumber Co., which exported round timber, Farolan wrote it for Geminia, a local lass that was his inamorata.
The poem is a romantic evocation of the Enchanted River as an unspoiled, untouched and undiscovered trysting cocoon for lovers. It talks of a "crystalline stream flowing from hidden spring," "rocky brims 'mongst vines," "orchids and ferns," "canopy of rich green mirrored in water-tinted blue," and "gold lined with gems."
Changing scenes
Farolan's Enchanted River has changed over time. While the turquoise bed remains unchanging beneath a cool water sparkling like quicksilver, the environs have given way to some structures others may find incongruous with the thematic concept of nature. Where cliffs used to be, the local government has built concrete staircases to make it easy for tourists to bathe and swim.
A few meters away from the bank that overlooks the river are some cottages that tourists can rent for P100. A wooden footbridge on stilts leads to a terminal of outrigger boats that ferry tourists to the nearby Vanishing Island and beach resort for P150 an hour.
For nonswimmers, there are kiddie and adult pools. Stalls offer various seafood at reasonable prices outside the cordoned area, just across the main gate.
Lifeguards are employed for safety precautions and life jackets are rented out at P100 each for a whole day's use. Entrance fee is P20.
Be forewarned: Parking is difficult.
The Enchanted River is like a Monét painting. And what makes it more bewitching is the element of dread attached to stunning visuals. But for the brave-hearted, it's plunging into the abyss that makes the river a surreal experience. And one wouldn't know the feeling until he gives it a try.

I should have used chemistry.com instead
Well I'm 5 foot 3 and like Mohammed Ali I float like a butterfly and sting like poison ivy i'm a pretty laid back guy and prefers people with positive energy. i try not to sweat the small stuff and live life to the fullest. you know, what 99% of the people here say. i enjoy outdoor activities, not capitalizing sentences unless i have to, and pot lucks. in my spare time i like to do triathlons, take my dog out to the park, play lawn games (kubb bocce), do some light reading and once in a blue moon my band will play at the middle east. if you're a cool gal that enjoys cooking (because i'm a pretty decent cook) outdoor activities and is down for playing bananagrams or having a stimulating conversation about anything and everything then we'll get along. i'm here for fresh faces and new activity partners, the rest will fall into place if it was meant to be.

I have Dogs
I have a 7 year old dog named brewster (lab/shepard/collie/pitbull mix) that i adopted when he was a puppy, he's the best dog in the world. i wish he was my wingman, but in reality, i'm his wingman cus he gets all the ladies.

I really enjoy reading, especially in a tent after good day of hiking/backpacking. I also enjoy finishing a race, anything from a 5k, marathon, half ironman, ironman and 24 hour 200 mile relay races..
In the winter i try to spend most of my weekends backpacking/mountaineering in the white mountains. In the other 3 seasons by weekends are spent with my dog brewster and usually running/cycling/canoeing and wherever the good wind takes me.
last thing i read was the most recent economist. the last book i read was what i talk about when i talk about running.

The brothers sit side by side at a table in a Carl's Jr.
John Pitman fuels the midmorning with a large Coke and several refills. Steve Pitman sips at his same cup of coffee.
John is the older one, 66. Steve, 64, is, in a way, his brother's keeper.
John has been diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder, characterized by paranoia, delusions and moods that swing from mania to depression.
Steve is the only one of John's five siblings who wants contact with him.
In recent months, John's troubled life has settled into a state of relative stability. Steve, who sees his brother at least once a week, is a big reason for that.
They came to a fast-food restaurant not far from John's board-and-care home to talk about something many families have tended to keep private – until recently.
Mental illness has become a much discussed topic in Orange County since the beating death of Kelly Thomas in July. Two of the Fullerton police officers involved in the altercation are facing trial.
Thomas was 37, schizophrenic and living on the streets without medical attention. His family provided what support he would accept, but under current law they could not make him seek treatment for his condition. Thomas has become the face of the renewed debate over Laura's Law, a 2003 state law that allows a court – with input from health care providers and family members — to order assisted outpatient treatment for the severely mentally ill.
Counties must decide to put Laura's Law into action. So far only one – Nevada County – has fully implemented it. Orange County officials are discussing whether to enact it.
Steve Pitman can relate to the Thomas family's anguish all too well. He has lived it with his brother John for nearly 50 years.
The past few years he's been involved with the National Alliance on Mental Illness Orange County, or NAMI-OC, an organization that offers advocacy, education and support for people close to the mentally ill. He started out as someone seeking insight for himself, and now serves as president of the organization's local chapter.
But Steve's concern goes beyond the organization and even John. As it does for a lot of people related to the severely mentally ill, the issue touches his entire family.
There's his 25-year-old granddaughter, Melissa Nemeth, who has major depressive disorder. She has accepted help from her family and the treatment of doctors in a way that John didn't at her age. Will she stay so accepting? She and her grandfather can only hope.
John Pitman is the oldest of six children. His father served as an Army chaplain until retiring as a colonel after a 25-year career.
As a young man in the mid '60s, John's trajectory seemed as promising as his country's efforts to put a man on the moon.
"If not the perfect son, he was close to it," Steve says. "My brother was the one that was always held out. You know, 'John's so well behaved. John does his homework.' John won science fairs. John got straight A's. John was going to be an astronaut. We all had great hopes and aspirations for John."
But John, at about 19 or 20, began acting oddly while in college in Marin County. Or, as Loraine Pitman says of her son, "He wasn't right."
His parents brought him back home to live with the family in Okinawa, where his father was stationed. John continued to act strangely.
John, blinking behind his thick glasses, remembers how he liked to take walks that stretched six to 10 miles, "not every day but a lot of times."

|Brown, Martha Montgomery

|Series/Report no.:
|University of Missouri studies (1926) ; v. 46
|The authors, a team of nurses, behavioral scientists, and a psychiatrist, tackle a difficult, interesting, and important task: to observe and measure, objectively and under experimental conditions, the impact of skilled nursing care on the behavior of older physically ill patients. The authors carried out their experiment by comparing the interactions of patients, matched for age, sex, social status, and other factors, in contact with two groups of nursing personnel. The first group were participants with high nursing skills; the second group was a control group without such skills. The term skill in this particular context means active participation, utilizing optimal verbal communication and interaction, without attempts to control and direct, but rather to respond to requests or offers.

Unlike most strategy writing for small businesses, the Cogent Strategy Handbook addresses the why and how of creating strategic plans. Also covered is a background on strategy, the process of creating strategic goals, and the gaps that can hinder successful plans from being executed. Too often a strategic plan is written without context and isn't utilized as a living document. Our strategy handbook addresses the entire process and interactions within the greater ecosystem that a strategic plan fits into.
Following a section on a template for strategic plans, the handbook presents information on creating key performance indicators to measure progress towards strategic goals. Without measuring progress against the goals within the plan and dollars budgeted, a plan risks irrelevance within an organization.
Lastly, organizational development is covered. This section examines the strategic goals and compares the organization'
