Today's picture was taken in 1964, and shows a grocer giving watermelon slices to children. These days, the watermelons you get in the grocery store are not very good. Around here, a lot of farmers will plant a few rows of watermelons in their fields alongside the cotton, or whatever cash crop they are growing. Then, they have roadside watermelon stands when the melons are ready. Once you have one of those big Black Diamond watermelons right from the field, you can't hardly eat the grocery store ones any more. I have tried before to grow watermelons in a garden, but have never had any luck. The vines come up and look big and healthy, but then when they start setting fruit, the leaves get something on them that kills the vine. So, I have never quiet mastered watermelon growing.
We had some interesting comments yesterday about what implement was used to dispatch the snake after the peacock eggs. xoxobruce suggested it was a mattock. I had never heard of a mattock, so I looked it up on the internet. Sure enough, what some people call a mattock, is known around here as a grubbing hoe. It is used for heavy chopping for things like prickly pear or algarita. What some people call a grubbing hoe, which is one chopping blade on a stick, we simply call a hoe. NYCgeezer suggested I was describing a pickaxe. I think a pickaxe is different, in that the blade on one side is more narrow. Interesting the subtle differences in names and functions. I do think the mattock is the same thing as a grubbing hoe.

San Antonio Farmer's Market
Today's picture was taken in 1939, and shows a Farmer's Market in San Antonio Texas. The men are selling onions from the back of their truck.
I notice in looking at these old pictures that people used to be a lot thinner than they are today. I sometimes wonder if they were not getting enough to eat, or if they were just eating a lot healthier and working a lot harder.
Domestic Update:
Well, we had some excitement out in Chickie Town yesterday. I heard some honking and commotion out there, and Mrs. PJM went out to see what was going on. What she found was that a big Bull Snake had chased Elly May off her nest, and was trying to eat her eggs. I ran out with a grubbing hoe, and chopped the snakes head off. It took Elly May a while to settle down, but she did go back and sit on the nest. No eggs were damaged, but I am not sure how long she was off the nest, and whether the excitement caused any problems with the eggs. We will keep you posted.

Good Monday morning to you all. Old Market week continues today with this picture from 1937, which shows what looks like a little grocery store. The woman appears to be buying the Asparagus. Also, looks like there is a tray of chickens for sale. Wow, I hope those chickens are on ice!
Domestic Update:
I am continuing to progress on the construction of the greenhouse. The only question issue right now is that the weatherman calls for rain all week. This was the week that I was going to get the holes dug for the ground stakes. Hopefully the rain won't put us too far behind schedule.

Farmer's Market
Welcome to Market Week here at OPOD, where we are going to explore how people used to buy food before places like Walmart moved in. Regrettably, I must inform you that I HATE shopping at Walmart. The people working their are not helpful, it is hard to find things, and much of what they sell is made in China. So, lets role the calendar back and look at this picture of a Farmer's Market. The guy growing the food is the same guy selling the food. No middlemen. Farmer's Markets still exist in many communities today, and I really like shopping at them . . . nice friendly people, who take great pride in their product. Great food, great prices, and friendly people . . . remind me why we buy our vegetables at Walmart?
Domestic Update:
OK, it has been a busy week around the old homestead. Many of you suspected that I gave an easy mystery person contest yesterday so I could get out and work on the greenhouse. Well, I guess I am busted on that one. The thing is that the temperatures here during the day are over 100 degrees, so I like to get out there and get going before it gets too hot.
Most of last week was spent getting things ordered and lined up for the construction project. I decided that in addition to the gas fired furnace, I would put radiant heat in the floor of the greenhouse. It actually does not cost that much to get the tubing and stuff that goes into the slab. If you don't put the tubes in when making the slab, then you really can not add it later. The other thing is that with the tubes in the slab, then next summer I can think about installing passive solar water heating, so you would be heating the greenhouse with hot water from the sun.
I did make progress on the construction as well. Below, you can see I am building the forms for the slab on my front porch. So far, no complaints from Mrs. PJM about the mess . . . I think she is pleased to see progress being made.
The long boards will be the forms for the concrete slab. The steel pipes are connected to the forms, and are the anchors that the greenhouse arches will connect to. The anchors have to be connected to the forms exactly plumb, level, and square. Since the plexiglass sheets are an exact size, the greenhouse arches have to be extremely precisely positioned, or the plexiglass won't fit. So, getting these anchors connected accurately is very important. The blue material is Dow Blueboard, which will go underneath the slab, and insulate the underside of the greenhouse.
I also made progress on the building site. The picture below shows the caliche pad. Since I live on a hill, the ground is not flat, and the caliche pad provides a flat, level space to build on.
You can see that I have the Batter Boards and strings run marking the location where the concrete forms need to be. Also, I have little flags marking where the holes for the ground stakes need to be drilled. Drilling the holes will be hard, since we live on a rock. I have a water drilling rig lined up, and they will come and drill the holes next week. The holes have to be 12 inches across, and at least 36 inches deep. Then, I have the concrete guy lined up to come and pour the slab, once the holes are drilled.
Also, some developments out in Chickie Town. I had mentioned one of the peacocks was sick last week, and the other female had a nest of eggs. Well, this week I find that the sick peacock is feeling a little better, and in fact has her own nest going. She started sitting on the eggs about a week later than the first one. So, we have two babies already hatched, and 8 more eggs being set on. Looks like we are going to have lots of peacocks. I really like the peacocks, and I enjoy the loud calling noises they make.

Mystery Person
OK, today is Mystery Person Contest. I post the picture, you have to figure out who it is. Let the games begin!

Russian Windmill
Today's windmill picture was taken near Omsk, in the Russian Federation. The picture was taken in 1885. I am not sure what the windmills were used for in this area. There is certainly not much vegetation in the area.
Thursday, June 24, 2010
Dalhart, Texas
This picture was taken in 1938, and shows an old homestead in 1938 at the height of the dustbowl. A windmill does not help much during a drought, as it produces enough water for livestock or a home, but not enough to irrigate a crop. This is such a bleak picture, one can only imagine the struggle people had during this time.
Wednesday, June 23, 2010
Today's picture was taken in the late 1800's, and shows a picture of a windmill near the water at Haarlem, in the Netherlands. Looking at this picture reminds me of how many interesting things I saw when I visited the Netherlands. One thing I remember is that almost everyone rode a bicycle. You would see more bicycles than cars there.
Tuesday, June 22, 2010
Holland Windmill
Windmill Week would not be complete without some pictures of the old windmills in Holland. This picture shows several windmills in Holland. I got to visit the Netherlands a few years ago. As you were flying in, the countryside was large strips of very bright colors. From the air, the tulip farms showed up as very bright fields. When I was there, you could see many of these old windmills still operating.
Monday, June 21, 2010
German Windmill
Greetings to all my fellow lovers of old pictures. This is windmill week, where we will be looking at wind power from around the world. Today's picture was taken in Germany in the late 1800's. The picture was taken in Berlin. The photograph was created with a process called Photochrom, which allowed creation of low cost color prints.
Sunday, June 20, 2010
Today's picture was taken in 1904, and shows a large variety of windmills. The picture was taken at the Louisiana Purchase exposition. This was part of the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair. The interesting thing is the variety of shapes, styles, and sizes of the windmills. Windmills like this are still in widespread use. The primary advantage of such systems is the ability to have water, without having to run electric lines to an area. Running electric lines today is insanely expensive for a consumer. Today, there is much less variety, and all the windmills are pretty much the same size and design.
Domestic Update:
We had a busy week out in Chickie Town last week. Lovie and the babies are still in the coop. When the babies get bigger, I will let them out, but for now, I would not want a snake or something to get the little guys. The other peacocks are free ranging, and just walk around as they please. I enjoy watching the peacocks, but normally, I do not sit and count them, since they walk around, and are not always together. On Wednesday, I noticed one of the girls was sitting on the porch, and not moving around much. When I went over and looked at her, you could see that she was really sick. She had her feathers all puffed out, and her eyelids were droopy. When she tried to walk the staggered. She was really sick, and that concerned me, so I thought I better check on the other ones. When I started checking, I noticed that besides the sick one, their was another one missing completely. I started looking for her, but could not find her. Then my daughter and Mrs. PJM started trying to find her. We looked all over the entire property three times, and could not find her. Given how sick the other bird was, we decided she probably had gotten sick too, and had just crawled off somewhere and died. Well, we took the sick bird, and put her under the chicken coop, which is a cool place. We put some Gatorade under there for her, some water, and then got her some medicine. Checking on her throughout the day, she was not getting any better. Next day, same thing, one peacock gone, and one very sick under the chicken coop. We were concerned that with one gone, and with one very sick, that we might have an outbreak of something in the flock. I spent two days reading on the Internet about bird illnesses. There are 100 different things that birds can get, and each requires a different treatment. The thing is though, that all the illnesses pretty much have the same symptoms. So we were very concerned. Then, on the second evening, I looked out in the Chickie Town, and saw a pea-hen out running around, jumping up and down and looking fine. I was surprised, and thought the sick bird had gotten better really fast. I went out and looked under the coop, and the sick bird was still there, so the one jumping around was the missing one (this was Elly May, one of the ones hatched last summer). So, Elly May was back, and in fine form. I decided I would watch her for a while. She ate and drank and hopped around and visited with the others. Then, I notice she starts walking away, out to the rough pasture area of the property. I follow her, and find that sure enough, she has herself a big nest of eggs out there under a cactus.
You can see in the picture how we could walk right by her and not see her. She really blends in. Now, I don't know if here eggs will hatch or not. It seems pretty late in the season to be hatching eggs. It is over 100 degrees every day, so I don't know if that is too hot for the eggs or not. But we will keep watching and waiting to see what will happen. The other pea-hen looks like she is recovering, and looks like she is feeling better.

Contest Day
Today is Saturday, and that means Mystery Person Contest! I post the picture, you have to figure out who it is.
Friday, June 18, 2010
Horse Team and Wagon
We wrap up Wagon Week with this picture of a horse drawn freight wagon, taken in 1906. The wagon belonged to the treasury department. If you look closely, you can see that they are loading a large old safe onto the wagon. I have one of these old safes like the one pictured from the late 1800's. It was my grandfathers. I do not keep anything valuable in it, but just enjoy it as an old family item. These old safes weigh well over 2,000 pounds, and they are very hard to move. I can only imagine the effort when only working with horses and wagons.
Domestic Update:
I feel that I made major progress on the greenhouse yesterday, and am proud to announce that I have officially broken ground.
This picture shows the first dump truck load of caliche being delivered for the pad. The workmen had to dodge the peacocks all day, who appeared to be taking a great interest in the work. They would just stand in front of the truck. The truck driver would honk at them to try and get them out of the way, and then they would just honk back at him. In the end, they were able to work around each other without major incident.
In building the pad, they dump a load of caliche, then spread it out with a motor-grader, then wet it down from a water truck. They then flatten it out with the rolling machine. Then they dump another load and repeat. They just about have it finished, and today will just be smoothing it out a little more.
The greenhouse is built around steel ground stakes that will be cemented in the ground. The next step is that I need to find someone that can bore the holes for the ground stakes. The holes have to be 14 inches in diameter and 36 inches deep. The challenge is that I live on a solid rock, so it will be a job to get the holes done. Then, the ground stakes will be concreted in, and then the concrete floor will be poured.
I am also working on getting the utilities out to the location. I will have to have someone dig trenches through the rock for Natural Gas, Electricity, and Water. I had hoped that the utilities could be brought in from the southwest corner of my house, but the plumber came out and looked and said the gas line there would not be big enough to supply the furnace for the greenhouse. So, we are trying to work out now what the best strategy is to get gas supply to the greenhouse. I might have to move the gas meter out to the street, and then tap off the line running from the street to the house.
Anyway, I am pleased that progress is being made.

Delivery Wagon
Good Thursday morning to you all. Today I am pleased to show this picture of an old delivery wagon. The picture was taken in 1911. I had not seen pictures of wagons like this before. Most wagons are open in the back, so not exactly sure what this one was used for.
Wednesday, June 16, 2010
Engraving Bureau
Wagon week continues here at OPOD with this picture of a wagon at the Bureau of Engraving in Washington DC. The picture was taken in about 1910. I like how everyone is dressed up, and most are wearing a nice tie.
Tuesday, June 15, 2010
Mail Wagon
Today's picture was taken in 1905. It shows postmen unloading mail at Union Station in Chicago. The mail wagons continued to be used for some time, even after cars were available.
Monday, June 14, 2010
Telegraph Wagon
Wagon Week is underway here at OPOD. This picture was taken in 1864 near Petersburg, Virginia. Pictured is a telegraph wagon from the Civil War. Interesting to note the"ghost like" figure in the left of the image. These old photographs required very long exposure times, so faint image was probably from a person who was standing there, and then walked out of the field of view during the exposure.
Sunday, June 13, 2010
Miller's Wagon
Good Sunday morning to you all. We are going to kick the week off with this picture of a Miller's wagon. In front of the wagon is a small child, who is seven years old. He works for the mill, moving 25 pound bags of flower. He makes 25 cents a week. The picture was taken in 1910.
Domestic Update:
OK, lots going on at home this last week. Several of you have asked for an update on Lovie and the peacocks. Lovie and chicks are doing well. Little Rufus is turning out to be a fine young peacock and I have high hopes for him growing up to be a leader in the flock. He is attentive, quick, and eats a lot. He and Peggy Sue are getting along well, and growing every day. Lovie does not like being penned up in the peacock palace. She would prefer to be out with the flock, but with the chicks this small, there are just too many things that could eat them. So, until they get bigger, Lovie and the babies will stay in the palace.
I have also made significant progress towards my goal of becoming a Gentleman Farmer. While I am working on getting the greenhouse built, I went ahead and put together one of the small hydroponic systems on the screened in porch. I want to go ahead and try growing some things hydroponically, so I can learn the ropes. The picture below shows the simple system.
The tank under the system contains the nutrient fluid. There is a pump that pumps the nutrients through the black hose, up to the white grow channels. The fluid flows through the channels, like an underground river. The plants are grown up through the little squares on the top. Each seed is placed in a small cube that holds the seed in place. The cube wicks nutrients up from below. After passing through the channels, the nutrient fluid dumps into the large white tube on the right, and then flows back into the tank underneath. So the nutrients recirculate in the channels underneath the plant. I am testing the system by growing a variety of different plants, to see which works the best. The picture below shows a lettuce that has sprouted and starting to grow.
With this stunning success in lettuce production, I feel I am getting ever closer to my Gentleman Farmer goal. Could a tractor be far behind?

Ring Around a Rosie
Today's picture was taken in 1941, and shows a group of children playing Ring Around a Rosie. The picture was taken in Chicago, Illinois. We played this game when I was a child, but don't know if kids even know about it anymore.
Thursday, June 10, 2010
Boy Scouts at Gettysburg
This picture was taken at the Gettysburg Battlefield at The Great Reunion in 1913. This was the 50th anniversary of the battle. At this point, there were many veterans of the battle still alive, and many attended the reunion. There was a big Boy Scout jamboree at the reunion as well. In this picture, a group of scouts are playing a blanket toss game.
Mathan made a real good point in the comments yesterday about the types of toys we buy our kids. He reminded us of the importance of toys like erector sets, tinker toys, Lincoln logs, chemistry sets and so forth. I could not agree more. My favorite toys as a child were toys where you built stuff that did things. These toys helped build a life long interest in engineering in me. When our daughter was growing up, we were always careful to buy toys that would stimulate this kind of learning.
Domestic Update:
I feel I made some progress on the greenhouse project yesterday. I contacted someone to build the caliche pad for the greenhouse. The guy says he will be able to do it next week. I will post some pictures as things progress. I also got one of the hydroponic units put together. Since the greenhouse is not built, I put it out on the screened in porch. I dont know if there is enough light there for plants to do well, but I will try some just to get some learning done as the greenhouse is constructed.
Wednesday, June 9, 2010
Jumping Rope
Today's picture was taken in 1936, and shows a child skipping rope. Skipping rope is another thing you do not see kids doing much anymore. I can remember in school during recess they had long ropes, and a person would get on each end, and then someone would get in the middle and skip the rope. Lots of fun games from just a simple rope.
Domestic Update:
Well, I have hit my first snag in putting the greenhouse together. The greenhouse needs natural gas, electricity and of course water. I had planned on having them tap a line at the southwest corner of my house, and then running a line to the greenhouse. The plumbers came out yesterday, and looked at the situation and said that line would not be able to feed the furnace, and that I would have to take a line from the meter that is on the opposite side of the house. There are many buried lines between the meter and greenhouse location, and it is going to be a significant effort to get a gas line run. So, I am talking to the gas company about possibly moving the meter, which would make things slightly easier. Also trying to arrange for the caliche pad to be built, but those guys have a long wait time as well. So, this project is going to take a while.
Tuesday, June 8, 2010
Baby Stroller
This picture was taken in the early 1900's and shows two girls playing with a doll in a baby stroller. I love these old pictures showing children doing something other than watching TV,
Domestic Update:
Well, I am trying to get going on getting the greenhouse built. In looking over the material in the garage, I can see that the words "Some Assembly Required" is taking on a whole new level of difficulty. I am going to have to get someone to put this thing together for me. I talked to the builder who built our house, and he said he would do it, but he is tied up until September. The guy who ran the skylift and unloaded the trucks for me says he can get that thing put together, and he could start right now on it. Problem is, if the anchor poles are not laid out exactly right, the plexiglass will not fit properly. So, my dilemma is, do I wait for the builder, or do I go ahead and have the skylift driver take a shot at it.
Monday, June 7, 2010
Today's picture is from 1915, and it shows a playground in Boston, Massachusetts. When I was a kid, playgrounds still had cool things like seesaws, monkey bars, and jungle gyms. I have noticed over the years, safety concerns have led to wimpy playgrounds that no longer feature some of the more fun items. As a kid, the playground was the safest place I played. We used to play in barns a lot. The barns were often two or more stories high, and used to store hay or cottonseed. We would make a pile of hay, then crawl up on the hay bales in the barn, and jump into the hay. If it did not hurt too bad landing, we would then climb up a little higher, and jump again. We would add more hay to the pile if necessary. After a while we would be making what would amount to a jump of several stories down into the hay. Cotton seed made an even better landing zone that hay, as it absorbed the fall much better than a stack of loose hay. I think today we overprotect our kids. We had a lot of fun, and no one ever got hurt.
Domestic Update:
OK, no one guessed what was in the semi that I showed yesterday, so I will have to give you another clue. Here is my garage after they unloaded. Some stuff was unloaded outside, and some stuff was put in the garage. There were actually 3 semis that came and unloaded. Not because the material would not fit in one semi, but because the material came from three different places. So, the contest continues, what is going on at the old PJM household?
Sunday, June 6, 2010
Children Playing
Good Sunday morning to you all. It is a new week here at OPOD, and we are going to be looking at pictures of children playing. This picture was taken in the Summer of 1938 in New York City, and shows a group of children playing on the sidewalk. I can remember as a child we played all the time. For the most part, playing involved either building things or using the imagination. Dirt clods were hand grenades, and you would pretend the cows were attacking German troops. We would build forts, play in barns, explore, or make things. As you played, you dreamed of some day really being an explorer, or really building a real airplane. Play today, in my mind is too organized and structured. Today play is centered around things like Xbox games, which stimulate the senses, but do not stimulate the imagination. These games also do not have any real social interaction, so social skills are not developed. I think we also overdo things like youth soccer. True these games do help develop social skills, but they do not spur imagination or creativity in the same way that building something does. When I was young, building models was a big thing. Most kids built model airplanes that would really fly from balsa wood and tissue paper. The simple ones were powered by winding a rubber band, and the more advanced ones had gas engines. Today few kids read, instead they watch movies. Each year the movies become more graphic . . . bigger explosions, more brutal fights, and less story. This is very different than reading a book, where your brain creates a little movie as you read. Working with kids, I have to say that I see a huge difference in development in this generation raised on Xbox, soccer, and movies. There is a lack of creativity, of big dreams and goals, and of social skills. So, parents, lets get our kids more models, bicycles and books. What do you think?
Domestic Update:
Well, school is out, so I have the summer to do all the things I have been wanting to do. Oh my, look at the picture below. Is that a big semi-truck pulling up to the old PJM house? I wonder what could be in it? Well, I am not going to tell you, you have to guess. You can enter as many guesses as you want. I will not respond to each guess today, so everyone will have a chance to enter. I will announce the answer tomorrow. What could Mr. PJM possibly be up to now?
Saturday, June 5, 2010
Mystery Person Contest
OK, it is Saturday Morning, and time for the Mystery Person Contest. I feel confident in victory this morning, so lets get going.
Friday, June 4, 2010
Brass Band
Today we have a picture of the Claflin University Brass Band. The picture was taken in Orangeburg, South Carolina in 1899. I have always been partial to the brass section, especially the low tones from the baritones and the trombones. I played the trombone in High School in the marching band and the stage band. I was never very good because I just did not have the part of the brain that controls the beat. I sort of just played along with whoever was near me.
Thursday, June 3, 2010
Tuba Lessons
I think the secret to being a great tuba player is starting lessons early. The picture above was taken in the 1910's and shows a very young child getting a feel for tuba playing. No word on what the child went on to do in life.
OK, Internet is back up and running. We are in thunderstorm season here, so if a picture is not up, it will probably mean the tower got hit again.
Wednesday, June 2, 2010
Well, a thunderstorm took out the power to the tower that beams me my internet signal. So, I do not have a connection at home, so cannot post a picture. This evening, the lights are not even back on on the tower, so might not be back up in the morning. I am making this post hiding in my neighbor's hedge bush. Gotta go before he gets the water hose after me again.
Tuesday, June 1, 2010
Good morning to you all! I hope you had a nice memorial day, and that your first day back at work is not too bad. Today we feature a picture from the early 1900's showing a police tuba band. I wonder how someone decides that they want to be a tuba player? It is not exactly something you can sit around the campfire with and play your favorite old songs for your friends.

SMBs and ROBOs face cost, complexity barriers to deploying high-availability servers
Ready, reliable access to growing volumes of critical data for business agility and competitive advantage has become a fundamental requirement for businesses of all sizes, driving higher demand for fast, high-availability, easy-to-scale server storage. Traditionally, high-availability storage deployments – consisting of costly, clustered storage area networks (SANs) with high-end Fibre Channel connections – have been the domain of datacenters, requiring specialized IT staff and considerable budgets to procure and manage them.
For small and medium businesses (SMBs) and remote offices/branch offices (ROBOs) requiring greater application uptime, the cost of these complex, clustered systems can be prohibitive. What's more, many SMBs and ROBOs lack the IT skill set necessary for their deployment and management but still need a solution for business continuity.
The single-node servers and direct-attached storage (DAS) commonly used in SMB or ROBO environments are easy to scale – simply add more servers and more storage. But the problem with these configurations is that, because stored data is not shared, they fail to address high-availability (HA) access to data or deliver critical application uptime.
Delivering high availability using inexpensive, scalable storage
A cost-effective alternative to traditional clustered systems is a small form factor server cluster with failover and inexpensive, scalable storage. Small form factor clusters offer failover for planned and unplanned outages to ensure high availability of critical applications. They also feature both manual and automatic failover and modular, hot-swappable components to reduce support requirements while maximizing uptime.
These new systems offer scalable direct-attached hardware RAID-based storage, or shared DAS storage, that performs transparent failover in the event of a failure and enables IT non-specialists to make timely repairs, greatly streamlining remediation.
Syncro® solutions bring high availability to the masses
Syncro solutions are designed to provide HA application uptime at a fraction of the cost of traditional HA solutions and to greatly simplify deployments and management while reducing latency and power consumption. Using two RAID-enabled controller cards, Syncro internal connect solutions allows an administrator to build a redundant, simplified server failover cluster with volume servers and an off-the-shelf JBOD. In DAS configurations that use serial attached SCSI (SAS) for controller-to-controller connectivity, Syncro CS clusters streamline shared server storage and provide continuous availability.
For Cluster-in-a-Box (CiB) solutions like those provided by system integrators, the Syncro external connect solutions are available.

Your Say: Reactions to the signing of the Bangsamoro Framework Agreement
GMA News Online has a lively community of commenters. Your Say is where we feature thought-provoking opinions from the community to help further discussions on issues that affect the common Pinoy.
After four decades of a separatist insurgency claiming over 150,000 deaths, the Philippine government on Monday signed a historic framework agreement with the Moro Islamic Liberation Front to create a "Bangsamoro" autonomous political entity in Mindanao by 2016.
Under the preliminary framework, a 15-member Transition Commission will draft the laws that will create the Bangsamoro (literally, "Nation of Moros") to replace the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM), tagged by Aquino as "a failed experiment" because of the unmitigated corruption and poverty in the region. After the law is passed by Congress, a plebiscite in Mindanao will be held to determine which provinces will be part of the Bangsamoro region.
The international community considers the peace pact a milestone for the Aquino government.
And yet, others see the signed agreement as a springboard for new conflicts.
The strongest opposition to the signed peace pact is from Moro National Liberation Front chairman and former ARMM governor Nur Misuari, who views the peace deal as a betrayal, saying all talks regarding Mindanao should include the MNLF.
Here are some insights from the GMA News Online community:
Flugie opines that Misuari has lost his political clout:
I've been to various provinces in Mindanao lots of times due to my work. While some people associate "Moro" with violence and what-not, my encounters with our Moro brothers and sisters are nothing but pleasant. The ones I've had the pleasure of meeting, working with and living with are kind, gracious and sincere - something I can't say for some of the Christians I know. I'm happy that the MILF and the government are finally on the right road to peace. My friends down south - both Moro and Christian - deserve it.As for Nur, I think he has become what he fears: insignificant. If he is still significant, then the PNoy government would have talked to him as well. Nur and the MNLF had their chance when he became governor. He had good intentions when he started but I think somewhere down the road, his good intentions got side-railed. I just wish he would stop rattling the saber again because it's getting old.
vokkin believes that Filipino Muslims deserve to be autonomous:
I think this is a milestone. The Muslims are really very culturally different and thus should really be given some sort of autonomy.
Ron foresees that a peaceful Mindanao will be good for Philippine tourism:
If peace will really reign down south soon, I just might see the day to visit Mindanao as a tourist and experience the culture, people and FOOD that the region has to offer. This is also good for the locals there, as tourism will rise dramatically, local and foreign alike. I am still hoping for that day to come, I pray that in my lifetime, it will happen.
Shimen Miyamoto Musashi, born in Lanao del Sur, recalls a time when the armed conflict caused a strain even in his personal relationships with his friends, who were children of Muslim rebels in Mindanao:
Inshallah.... May the Lord Almight bless Mindanao, and touch the hearts of those who are not yet convinced of the framework agreement to give peace a chance. If this pushes through without a glitch, I will be happy to bring my family for vacation every year in my birthplace in Lanao del Sur and see what their father's beautiful town looks like. I want my children and my wife to feel its ambiance minus the occasional gunfire and fear of attacks. I have friends in both MILF and MNLF who are my elementary and high school classmates, they opted to join the rebels because their parents and other relatives are rebels. I also have many classmates or our classmates mostly Christians and some Muslims who joined the government forces in the AFP, PNP, and even CAFGUs. Sad to know that once in our lives during our schooldays we share the same classrooms, sometimes share one ice candy during recess under the mango trees in our school or share jokes, but because of the conflict which in our generation actually didn't fully understand how it all started, distrust and fear from your former classmates and friends is unavoidable.
HaizzPinazOl said that united patriotism should be foremost on the minds of everyone involved:
Definitely a milestone. I commend Pnoy getting this far. This is still shaky ground, but hopefully we will get there. The pact should emphasize the patriotic pride of being a Filipino and put religious differences aside.
JaePablo thinks the peace talks could not have concluded this soon if several more sectors were consulted:
Di lahat nang panig ay dapat marinig dahil kung iintindihin at papakinggan mo sila aabutin ka ng siyam siyam... kudos to PNoy and MILF... dahil ipinakita ninyo na kaya ninyo naman pala na mag usap na walang baril o ano pa man, lets move forward... who ever makes a crime o breaks the law arestuhin kaagad.
The Bangsamoro Framework Agreement, however, does not sit well with some observers:
Siera Veda, in reply to JaePablo, thinks that rather than reaching an agreement with only a single group (the MILF), different stakeholders in Mindanao should have reached a consensus prior to concluding the peace talks:
Nakipagkasundo ang gobyerno sa isang grupo lang, ang dami ng mga iyan, dapat magkaisa muna ang lahat ng nasa Mindanao tapos dun sila makipagkasundo sa gobyerno. Gulo na naman yan.
Orlando Batallones believes that the MNLF would not agree to the peace talks, because of their differences with MILF:
This is what we have been saying all along as somebody from that part of the country who has been witness to all the dynamics of the conflicts. Once a peace pact is entered into one, another group will be disgruntled. Remember, the MILF and the MNLF do not see eye to eye. So this posturing from the MNLF (who were left out in the deal) would always be problematic. We are hopeful that the present government would be able to address so that an everlasting peace can be achieved. But I am still hopeful that this will turn out to be true.
neverwint3r recalls how former president Joseph "Erap" Estrada handled the MILF during his term:
The way things are going, another breakaway group from these Muslims will demand their own province/land and territory to rule. Soon, Mindanao will become a separate country.Bakit si Pnoy mukhang nagpaloko yata? erap had almost completely destroyed the milf before, ngayun mas maliit na MILF ngayun pa bumigay ang gobyerno? What was Pnoy thinking?
Padre Damaso and torogi are both of the opinion that signing the framework agreement is just a ploy to get money from the Philippine government, most likely to fund a new separatist movement:
Even though I feel that this is a bad move, I pray that these Muslims will not stab us behind our backs. They have been known to do it in the past. It's not discrimination, just stating the obvious. I feel that this is the first of their NEW ploy to get money from our government then buy arms to fight us again and try separate Mindanao for their own sake. Haaay! I wish I could be wrong, we will see in 2-3 years time.
This is ridiculous. All Muslims affected of the areas in Mindanao must have their concern involved and not only the MILF faction about the implementation of this Bangsamoro. Or else, this is another strategy for this Muslims to draw huge money from the government and use them to buy arms, trainings of a new Muslim rebels, trainings camps and other war preparations. Remember what happened during the Cory administration which was exactly done by the Muslims through the ARMM then when the Estrada administration came, the Muslims were ready for war which was started but were fortunately crushed. The ARMM did never produce documents to provide the government where they had spend the billions of pesos (easy money for them) given them by the Government of the Republic of the Philippines. See this, these lazy warlike muslims were given huge amount of money in priority rather than for the development of the communities of other peace loving and tax paying Filipinos in the north.
For gio adovas, the signed framework agreement is a calculated political move on PNoy's part:
If I am in his shoes, I will do the same: Make a big media event out of an agreement on what to talk about--framework agreement. It is not the end of the peace process yet, it is just laying the basis kung ano ang lalamanin ng usapan. The end of the peace process between the GRP and MI0 NotificationsLF may not happen in the next 5 years. Pero kelangan nya ang ganun kalaking media event to boost his popularity especially that the midterm election is coming. Kelangan nya lalong maging popular sa mindanao where his aunt is rumored to be running for ARMM governor.Your guess is as good as mine. after 10 years of signing another peace pact with MILF, another group will emerge, another peace talk would follow. Hindi naman inaaddress ang cause ng rebellion e.Palagay ko, hindi sya nagpaloko. It is a calculated political move.
internet101 says the government is compromising its principles by offering a hand to those "in the wrong":
Tingin ko po mali ang ginawa ng gobyerno dito. Ang tao kasing masama pag tinulungan mo hindi nya makikita ang mali niya. Nasa dikta ng puso yan. Bakit hindi sila hayaang magbago kung gusto nila. Kung ayaw nila e di wag. Ang ginawa dapat ng gobyerno pinalakas dapat ang militar. Madaming Muslim ang nagkeclaim ng power sa Mindanao. Baka hindi lang Pilipinong Muslim ang maghahari sa Mindanao baka ibang bansang Muslim din. Ang ibig sabihin ng hinihingi nila na teritoryo nilang Muslim para maghari sila sa Mindanao. Hindi totoo na magkakaisa sila sa mga Kristiyano o mabuting Muslim kasi kung pagkakaisa gusto nila mamumuhay sila nang maayos. Nahulog kayo sa patibong ng Muslim.

Touring the Beach Properties
So you've already made up your mind to retire in Nicaragua and you've visited a few times, but your head and your heart is really set on a house on the beach. How do you manage to view all of the properties available, how do you find a real estate agent you can trust? Where are all the properties located? What properties should you avoid? What properties are not to be missed? If you are planning to buy a house on the beach when you retire in Nicaragua, probably one of the best tours around with these goals in mind is the Nicaragua Beachfront Property Tour. I know quite a few people that have bought properties from the communities on the beach listed on this tour.
The Beachfront Property Tour provides is the most comprehensive real estate tour that focuses exclusively on the properties on the Pacific Coast of Nicaragua. It's a fully escorted tour of oceanfront property and includes the Playa Santa Rosa, Gran Pacifica, Hacienda Iguana Golf and Beach Club, Rancho Santana and San Juan del Sur. If you've got a spare $700,000 to invest in a property, they'll even throw in a side trip to the exquisite Guacalito property, the one that Nicaragua's richest citizen Carlos Pellas has created. All these properties provide a glimpse into the best in real estate that this beautiful country has to offer future newcomers.
This tour commences from Managua. Most people arrive late into Managua so the first day is an arrival day, gather your wind, relax and enjoy the ambiance of the hotel. The second day offers a roundtable luncheon to be sharedby a few experts on investment and real estate in Nicaragua. They're there to promote discussion and to answer any questions you may have on buying an oceanfront property for your retirement.
What's included on this fine tour along the coast to see all the properties? Breakfasts, some lunches, some dinners, transportation in an air conditioned bus or private 4 wheel drive (depending on the number of people on the tour if it's a private tour) from Managua. There's even a day of fun at one of the properties which includes swimming and golf.
Beachfront real estate including casitas, condos, homes and villas range in price from about $96,000 to $799,000. There's also rental possibilities at many of these locations from Playa Santa Rosa, El Transito, Poneloya, Playa Colorado to Playa Guasacate and San Juan del Sur. Choosing to live in Nicaragua will be one of the best choices you will ever make for your retirement. The NicaTour Group fully-escorted tour will guide you along the Nicaraguan coast, to help you find your perfect retirement house on the beach. Right now they have a special if two or more people in your group join the tour. Find out more about the tour here.
The opportunities to own your beachfront property in Nicaragua is an exciting prospect, especially when you can get you the opportunity to buy something at beachfront footage at half the cost of what it would cost in the US. The breathtaking views and magnificent sunsets will be the perfect addition to experiencing the best of situations for your retirement in Nicaragua. Add in the lower cost of living and healthcare doesn't make it too bad a choice either. Beach living is perfect, no matter what your age! Living at the beach, drive into the nearby town once a week to pick up supplies if your beach community doesn't have a grocery store is not too bad a lifestyle to enjoy. Beats shoveling snow.

|Waco, TX
|She is very energetic and kept my interest most the time. I have had a very bad math background, and she was quite accommodating to me. I honestly don't understand the bad reviews, I would definitely recommend her. Also, she is definitely simple on the eyes!
|I don't know why everyone seems to not like Mrs. Nichols, she is definitely one of the BEST prof.s that I have had at Baylor! She is very friendly, teaches well, and offers extra credit every week! (all you do is write a paragraph on what you thought of the material that you learned that week). Also, she offers UNLIMITED tries per problem!
|Ms. Nichols class is very simple. Everything in this class I learned my sophomore year in HS. If you are great in math, take her, because you still learn by going back over old things, but it's pretty much a blow off class. Nichols as a person is super sweet, and her office is always open, and is always on Skype if you want to video chat for help!
|Doesnt care about her students. just her own personal life. No review, just tells us ther will be a exam, study everything.
|Awful. Just awful. I started out this class thinking it would be pretty simple since she seems really friendly and all. But within a few weeks I was struggling. And it only got worse from there. If you have little or no calculus background at all, do wdislikever you can to avoid taking Nichols.
|Most people that complain about her class just aren't willing to do the work. If you are (and she is always available for extra help) then you should do fine. She has high standards and if you do well you'll learn a lot. Look in the mirror and be honest with yourself before you complain about her.
|She writes out everything which wastes a bunch of time in class... expects you to work out all of your problems which becomes a pain. Don't get mymathlab. You won't understand the concepts on the exams and you won't finish them sometimes b/c there's so much work on them. It's much more worth it to just use the textbook. And get a tutor.
|Really friendly as a person, but I personally couldn't learn from her. I failed my first two exams after difficultcore studying because she grades very difficult and teaches very little. I had to get a tutor for this class.

John Cena isn't a challenge to The Rock
by, 12-05-2011 at 03:30 PM (4877 Views)
The Rock Vs John Cena
I just don't buy Cena as a worthy opponent in this. It's not a modern Hogan Vs Rock for the PG Era at all. That match worked because it had meaning. It had 2 Megastars facing off against each other. It felt Epic and the match was legendary. The Rock Vs Cena is a twitter battle. A feud that doesn't have meaning and just doesn't work.
If they wanted a match with no meaning, that would be incredible and one that could still work but will never happen then how about a dream match between
The Rock Vs Shawn Michaels
The build up and promo's alone would be the greatest ever as both men are showmen. It's the one match I would've loved to have seen but never will.
Anyway back to Rock Vs Cena
I don't hate Cena but he's soooooooooo stale on the mic and robotic in the ring I can't take him seriously, probably like most fans over the age of 10. He's also just never going to have a legacy or star power like The Rock, even if he wins 100 titles. He's already defiled the belt. It's still tarnished and looks hideous.
Another problem is that since this feud started it's been all Rock. He's been burying Cena since day one and the fact Cena does nothing doesn't help. I know he's got this rise above the hate thing going on but it makes him look weak and lame. His character is lame and stale and anyone over the age of 10 knows it. Rock was never the most technical wrestler but compared to Cena he's on a totally different level.
Cena is the one this feud must be centered on because the back story isn't really there between them. It will rise and fall with him because The Rock will always be great in the ring and be unparalled on the mic. Cena maybe a big star and the top billed on the current WWE but he's being made to look like a total chump so far. The 'This is Your Life' segment was a TOTAL DISASTER. Buried by his own father was embarrising beyond belief. Now he's getting slapped around by Roddy Piper! Who's next to come out the woodwork and make him look like a chump.
I know all logic points to Cena winning at Mania but he'll be despised even more by all the fans that have been bored of Cena for almost 5 years now. Goldberg came back to Feud with The Rock and win. At the end of the day The Rock is a megastar and Cena isn't. The Rock was unselfish in the ring when he wrestled full time but I hope to God he's told Vince he's back to win. END.OF.
Cena needs to lose at Mania and just disappear for a while. Come back fresh with an entirely different angle. Don't go back to rapping with a chain but.........just be different. I'll never watch WWE again if Cena wins. It'll be a disgrace. Simply because he doesn't come across as a credible or worthy challenger. Rock passed the torch to him 7 years ago when he left. He doesn't need to do it again.

Heidenau K60 Scout - weird vibrations anyone?
Okay, got my pair of Heidenau K60 Scout tyres, 2012 DOT, fresh from the factory. 150 rear, btw.
They look road ready and they sure are. Also, they are pretty close to the TKC's as far as light stability and traction, but i emphasize the 'light'.
Ever since i installed them, i get these vibrations from the front wheel, as high as 40 kph, after which , on the dot, they go away. You slow down, there they are.
I assume it's the new tread i have to get used to, but last year i installed a front new TKC and there was no vibration at all. I made sure and triple checked the rotation on both tyre and and rim. Also, i checked the pressure and it's within spec.
Any ideas?
And some pics: http://img.tapatalk.com/6d64f2a0-a448-ffea.jpg
" 'cause tramps like us,
Baby, we were born to run. "
What pressure?
MY PREFERENCE is to run them about 30psi front and slightly lower rear.
When I put the K60 scouts I noticed a vibration and noise at higher pressures that was greatly reduced when I dropped it.
They are rather noisy on pavement, I don't notice with my Arai XD3 (helmets a bit noisy), but with my Schuberth I do.
I haven't figured out the radio volume to hide it:evil
I've had to replace several new k60 front tires because they had a wobble in them discernible at lower speeds. The bars would actually shake. Tkc80, mefo, ect., have not had this problem. Only the k60. I think there is somthing wrong with the mold at the factory.
The latest install of k60s was about 300 miles ago. I mounted and balanced the tires and immedeitely noticed the wobble in the front at lower speed. So I installed a mefo front and the wobble was gone. I got the front k60 replaced, however, it's still sitting in my basement because I left the mefo on the front for now. I like the way it's performing.
So I'm not sure if my replacement k60 is a wobbler or not. This has been my experience.
God bless,
I think I had the same thing. I would get a vibration under 35mph, above it went away. I decided that it was just the "knobs" on the tire. It felt pretty close to what I would get when taking my off road bikes down the road with a more aggressive knobbie. I didn't worry about it and the K60's have around 3000 miles on them right now. When checking tread depth against new it should run out around 10,000-11,000 miles. I believe that is normal so I don't think the vibration was a problem. I bought mine new end of April beginning of May.
Resonant harmonics from bar tread patterns are common.
I think the K60s had a tendency to vibrate at lower speeds. Felt as a "coming and going" rhythmic vibration through the bars.
Especially under light brakes at lower speeds, which would lead me to suspect the front as the source. But it would be acting in concert with the pattern on the rear to generate the harmonic.
If you ever run Mitas E09s you'll notice the WW2 Jeep bar tread noise coming from the tyres. As they wear they start a harmonic thrumming, it's actually very loud, passing through a tunnel is a disturbing experience.
Thanks guys, i 'benched' 600 kms today mostly on perfect fresh pavement and it's still there. The vibe. Ill lower the psi tomorrow to see if there's an improvement. I also run a Arai Tour X3, but the noise and vibration is stilll there. Loud.
" 'cause tramps like us,
Baby, we were born to run. "
I just got a new pair of K60's about a month ago and haven't noticed any vibrations coming from my tires. They put sticky weights on the rims though to balance them out. Might need balancing. My stock tires also needed the weights and when I got the K60's the had to put on different weights.
I thought I did something wrong the first time I put that tire on. It was so weird... The vibes start at slow speed, then go up to 40 and turn off.
I was getting this when I replaced only the back tire and I still had my scorpion trail up front.
It felt like it was coming from the front, but it was the back tire.
It is not there when turning, only when traveling in a straight line.
I though I screwed up my chain or something, as it was the first time I had removed the wheel.
15k miles on the K60 rears (2 of them), and still doing it!!
I noticed the same thing when I put mine on. Especially when slowing down under 30mph. Felt a funky vibration under the bike. I think it is a little more noticeable at higher pressures. You get used to it. I came to the same conclusion as others here. It is a result of the tread pattern and normal.
Same for me. 30 to 40km\h it would vibrate, epically when under light breaking. Then as I got up to speed it would go away. The tire did get a little soft on me and it went away. Filled it back up and the vibes came back. Dont care any more and dont even notice it.
Yep, mine did that for the first couple hundred miles. Dont notice it now, maybe im just used to it. Great tires though .
Put brand new K60's on my 800 a few weeks ago and then rode a 7 day road trip around colorado to Santa Fe the long way. 85% street 15% dirt. My impression is that there was an unstable feeling at certain speeds and in the grooved roads for sure. At speeds over 90-95 (raced home for a forest fire) I think they had a bit of an unstable feeling. Other than that I think it was the tread pattern. I got used to it. I still think its a good tire, and will put them on the new bike (old bike melted down in forest fire).
I really like the idea of a TKC front and K60 rear. Haven't tried it yet, but have had both tires, front and rear, just not interchanged. The K60 front is crappy in super loose stuff, while the TKC rear is gone in 3-4K miles. Just my opinion. I had a K60 front, albeit with 8500 miles, and it almost killed me off road. And the vibes do suck.
Heidenau K60 on R80 G/S front had vibrations at highway speeds when brand new.
after 500 miles or so ... things smoothed out for me.
K60 vibrating on front comments seems to be quite common.

PARKERSBURG (AP) - School is returning to normal for students at Parkersburg Elementary School.
Volunteers have spent the past week building a new playground which was destroyed when a tornado plowed through the city more than a year ago.
Volunteer coordinator Diane Manifold says she got offers for help from people all over the state. Other people just showed up to help, knowing the work had to be done.
It's the third phase of a $500,000 project that began in April with the construction of a playground east of town, and the recently dedicated Miracle Park, near the city's swimming pool. Equipment was purchased through local fund raising efforts and a matching grant from the Miracle Recreation Equipment Co., in Missouri. The school district also contributed money to the project.
