Questions on Col Membrain (Fall 2014)
- From Tara at 3/22/12 3:27 PM
- Hi! Just wanted to confirm if this bag is -20 deg celsius or fahrenheit?
Also, is this the comfort level or extreme level?
- Thanks for the question. Yes, all the temperature ratings on our site are in Fahrenheit unless specifically label as Celsius. From the information I can find, the Col Membrain and CWM Membrain are not EN tested (I even checked the bag itself). They would instead be tested at Marmot's own facility. I don't know the reasons behind this, so I can only guess that there is some difficulty in testing such a well insulated bag. As with the rest of Marmot's sleeping bags, the listed temperature rating falls below the "comfort" and closer to the "lower limit" rating, so in this case you can safely expect to be comfortable at -15F. Thanks!

The most hardy souls can always be found heavily bundled up and happily working in punishing conditions. The rest of us wait for the right day, say, when it is above freezing, to go out and enjoy the wonderful winter light and colors. If you have never tried this, we encourage you to invest in a little bit of winter painting clothing and insulated boots, and get out there!

 In the 25+ years that we traveled to northern New Mexico to paint, we have explored its charms in every season of the year and have never failed to find wonderful scene after wonderful scene for a plein air painting. A big part of this charm is that this area of the Southwest is just inherently stunning, but another important factor for us as artists is that it represents a change of scenery from our home landscape.

The lesson we first learned when living and painting in the Hudson Valley in New York is that as plein air painters there is a deep pleasure to be gained from becoming intimately familiar with the same piece of ground over many years. The process is essentially a silent conversation, in which we can receive knowledge and inspiration from Nature if we are willing to quietly observe the constant flux of everything around us.

Reading values in landscapes is somewhat different from reading values in other subjects. All subjects have a light source, but the source in a landscape - the illuminated dome of the sky - is part of the subject. This often leads those new to painting the landscape to misread the values and not establish enough contrast between the land and the sky, which is usually the biggest value contrast in...(read more)Mitchell Albalahttp://www.artistdaily.com/members/Mitchell-Albala/default.aspxPlein Air Nocturnes: More Alive Than the Day/blogs/pleinair/archive/2014/08/14/plein-air-nocturnes-more-alive-than-the-day.aspx2014-08-14T02:12:00Z2014-08-14T02:12:00Z"I often think that the night is more alive and more richly colored than the day." --Vincent Van Gogh Moonrise Road by John Hulsey, plein air painting. Plein air painting at night in bright moonlight is great fun and a wonderful learning experience for the outdoor painting artist.

This blog has been adapted from an article written by Allison Malafronte. Plein air painting during twilight is exciting but challenging.

I don't think it would be a stretch to say that plein air painting is something artists of all styles, subject matter, and strengths can enjoy.

August 29, 2013
|Related: the band in Heaven, Decades Records
In the thick of a sweat-soaked, sun burnt Floridian summer, West Palm Beach's the band in Heaven have finished their debut full-length record, Caught in a Summer Swell, slated for release on Decades Records, a boutique South Florida label. They will also release the album on cassette with Cheap Miami.
On first listen it is apparent they've made a distinct departure from their previous releases, no longer hiding behind curtains of reverb and feedback. Casting aside their guttural shoegaze foundation, they instead meet us with an overall dreamy sound. Sometimes spacey, sometimes catchy, other times noisy, the band in Heaven now holds our attention with a tighter, stronger rhythm section which is then glazed over with a sheen of dreamy, delayed guitars. Male / female vocals trade off throughout the album.The lyrics aren't hidden, but nothing is on the surface.
The themes within the record have reveal a sense of maturation as well. With topics that touch on growing pains, family debt, loss of innocence, wistfulness, giving up and letting go, the listener is left with a more deep-seeded sense of both hope and loss. On the opening track, the band in Heaven references Ray Bradbury in their perfect summer tune "Dandelion Wine" with the line: "Kiss your wrist and ask no one the time / stay up late getting drunk off that Dandelion Wine," making strong declarations on the timeslessness of youth contrasted with the inevitability of aging.
Last week, the band in Heaven shared their first single "Dandelion Wine" on Brooklyn Vegan along with upcoming live dates. Now watch the following video at Spin! Directed by Jacques de Beaufort.

The Walt Disney Co. is announcing today that it plans to advertise only healthier foods to kids on its TV channels, radio station and website.
- Filed Under
In many ways, it's a no-brainer - advertise only healthy foods to impressionable, young children during kids' TV and radio shows.
Walt Disney Co.'s announcement today is a welcome, but frankly, long overdue move that other media companies hopefully will follow.
This is one of many significant steps needed to tackle childhood obesity. ...

Experimental fast neutron total cross sections and elastic and inelastic scattering cross sections of 240Pu are reported. The total cross sections are measured from neutron energies of 0.1 to 1.5 MeV in increments of ∼25 keV. The scattering cross sections are measured at 50-keV intervals from incident neutron energies of 0.3 to 1.5 MeV. The inelastic neutron excitation cross sections of states at 42 ± 5, 140 ± 10, 300 ± 20, 600 ± 20, and 900 ± 50 keV are measured. The experimental results are discussed in the context of the optical, compound-nucleus and direct-reaction nuclear models including the effects of resonance width fluctuations and the fission process. The measured results are compared with the corresponding quantities in the evaluated nuclear data file ENDF/B.

I have a child who rarely smiles for the camera and doesn't seem to appreciate a mom who wants to document everything (she'll thank me when she's older, right?).

Flour and Water
We recently attended a back-to-school event at my daughter's preschool, where her teacher shared a funny and inspiring story that involved a messy flour and water sensory activity. With my ears on the alert for fun and thoughtful creativity-builders, I knew immediately that this was something we had to try. It's unbelievably simple and requires no art supplies...all you need is … [Read more...]
Sponge Stamping

Beans are for Gluing
Unless they're refried and smothered in guacamole, my daughter is not a huge fan of eating beans.

Don't judge a preschool
by whether it has computers
Choosing a preschool is daunting. Is the general atmosphere stimulating but not hurly-burly, calm but not catatonic? How often do they play outside? Do the hours of operation fit your schedule? The issue of computers adds one more layer of confusion. Also controversy.

Regenesis: Stealth Team
I am reviewing all of the first Regenesis issues, so stay tuned.
The Story:
Chechen Republic: An arms deal involving a sentinel goes amiss while Domino spies on the whole deal. They spot Domino and she makes a break for it. Cyclops tells Storm to lead the Stealth Team, consisting of Psylocke, Jubilee, and Warpath to extract Domino. Colossus also tags along. War Machine intercepts the X-Men along the way, essentially telling them to pull over. War Machine tells the X-Men to turn around, to avoid an international incident. Storm acquiesces. The Governor is revealed to be somehow responsible. They reveal that they have 3 sentinels that combine to form one actual functioning Sentinel. The Sentinel wakes up and detects Domino. She fights her way out of there while Psylocke and the rest track her down. War Machine shows up, not happy that the X-Men lied to him. A small scrap takes place, in which Storm warns him that there's more to this than meets the eye. We see the Sentinel standing over a seriously injured Domino.
The Good:
This is the most serious Regenesis book out yet. The art is excellent, and the writer puts a good deal of effort into the character details, including Colossus's Juggernaut persona, Jubilee's vampirism, and War Machine's evident patriotism. The comic definitely has a certain James Bond kind of feel to it, which I definitely enjoy.
The Bad:
Now we know from X-Men: Regenesis that this team is not X-Force, but I can't really help feeling that it is, especially with killers like Warpath, Domino and Psylocke (all former members of X-Force) and with potential killers like Jubilee and Colossus. Storm seems to be the only mild-mannered one, and yet we all know that she has a hell of a temper. I worry that the Juggernaut persona will become over used in these X-Comics, but time will tell.
The Verdict:
Definitely picking up the next issue. Despite the deceptively short story, definitely an attention grabber. Recommended.

The University of Bridgeport
|StudentsReview ::
The University of Bridgeport - Comments and Student Experiences
I am from Rhode Island, and this school has done nothing but stress me out and find ways to screw me out of money. Most recently, I had to pay $50, do 5 hours of community service and lost internet access for a month because I had a router in my room WHEN THE ROUTER OUTSIDE MY DOOR NEVER EVEN WORKED!!! This was a first offense, total joke. Makes a lot of sense that for trying to get my school work done, I have no internet to do homework for a month...All they care about is screwing you out of money. There is NOTHING fun to do on campus, all the residence hall advisors do nothing, the food sucks. The area outside the campus is absolutely horrible, you shouldn't need to carry around a button that alerts campus security if something happens to you. (they really give you these at the beginning of the school year) If you're thinking about attending this school, don't. Or commute, because the only half way decent thing about the school is the education. However, if you're going to pay 35,000 dollars a year or more for a school, you can find many other schools that are less concerned with screwing you out of money and time. I'm leaving after this semester, I'm completely done with this ridiculous school.

Top five reasons to choose Petplan today:
According to independent reviews by pet parents across the nation, Petplan is consistently ranked 9 out of 10 or higher in customer satisfaction,* and with over 35 years worldwide experience protecting pets and providing great benefits such as lifetime coverage for vet bills, it's easy to see why.
Many pets will suffer from hereditary conditions during their lifetime. And not just purebred cats and dogs, either! Even our mixed-breed friends can inherit conditions from their parents. Some pet insurance providers either automatically exclude hereditary conditions entirely, or have complicated age limits and restrictions or require you to pay an additional fee. Petplan covers hereditary conditions as a standard pet insurance benefit, plain and simple.*
When a member of your four-legged family has been sick or injured, the last thing you need is the stress of an unexpected financial burden on your family's finances. At Petplan, we strive to pay claims as swiftly as possible for increased peace of mind and customer satisfaction. We are proud to consistently pay claims within five to 14 days of submitting a completed claim. And if you have any questions at any stage of the process, our Happiness Managers will be happy to help (while the whole team keeps their fingers and paws crossed for your pet's speedy recovery!).
Petplan covers injuries and illnesses for life; some other pet insurance providers do not. This is our Covered for LifeTM guarantee, and for many pets, it can make all the difference. Once your pet is insured, a key benefit of Petplan pet insurance is that we'll cover chronic conditions into old age, provided you renew your policy each year without any break in coverage.* And when you consider that 30-40% of all pet insurance claims received by Petplan are for chronic conditions that can last beyond 12 months,* it's easy to see how choosing the right insurance coverage for your dog or cat is one of the most important decisions you can make.
At Petplan, we realize that getting the best care for your pet can often involve consulting a specialized veterinarian. That's why we cover fees for specialist and referral veterinary treatment, including cardiology (matters of the heart), dermatology (skin conditions and allergies), orthopedics (bones and joints) and oncology (cancer treatments), to name a few.
We also understand that your pet may sometimes require more than conventional veterinary treatment to recover fully. That's why we'll cover alternative therapies, such as acupuncture, hydrotherapy or chiropractic treatment, provided that the treatment is recommended and administered by a licensed veterinarian.
Petplan has been providing pet health insurance around the world for more than 35 years. We are recommended by veterinarians, breeders, shelters and pet parents around the globe. Add to that the stability and strength of AGCS Marine Insurance Company, a member of the Allianz Group (the world's largest property and casualty insurer group*), as our underwriting partner and it's easy to see why more than 1 million pet parents worldwide protect their four-legged family members with Petplan.
Of course, the best way to find out if Petplan is right for your pet is to give us a try. All Petplan policies come with a 30-day money back guarantee. This means you can rest assured that if you are not entirely satisfied with your policy, simply cancel within the first 30 days and we'll reimburse you in full (provided you have not submitted a claim).

CHICAGO – The question of what to do or what gift to give on Mother's Day can often be a bit perplexing for children and teens who might not have a lot of money to spend. Enter the library with fun and creative ideas for not only what to give, but how to spend quality time with mom.
CHICAGO — Whether spring means a thorough house cleaning, preparing a home garden or simply enjoying the season, librarians are planning programs that suit library users' preferred springtime activities.
Below are just a few examples of what libraries across the country are planning to do to celebrate the arrival of spring.
Friends of the Potomac (Md.) Library showcase all the events going on throughout the season with Spring Happening @ your library. Upcoming events include spring story hours, Chinese language book discussions and monthly used book sales.
CHICAGO – It seems appropriate that the Bard of Avon's birthday should take place during the same month we celebrate National Poetry Month. It is no surprise that libraries across the country are celebrating the 449th birthday of William Shakespeare.
CHICAGO — Communities nationwide are celebrating the contributions of libraries – including school, academic, public and special libraries - and library workers during National Library Week, April 14 – 20, 2013, sponsored by the American Library Association (ALA). This year's theme is "Communities matter @ your library."
Libraries provide key resources as budgets are reduced, speaking out forcefully against book-banning attempts and advocating for free access to digital content in libraries.
CHICAGO — In her role as honorary chair of National Library Week (April 14-20, 2013), author, editor, library and literacy advocate Caroline Kennedy visited with students at Sanislo Elementary School library in Seattle to discuss the power of poetry and libraries. The visit was timed in conjunction with April's School Library Month.
CHICAGO — New public service announcements (PSA) of National Library Week Honorary Chair Caroline Kennedy are currently appearing on the Disney Channel. Approximately 1.4 million viewers see the PSAs every time they air.
Kennedy appears in the PSA with the star of Disney Channel's "Austin and Ally," Laura Marano. They discuss the value and opportunities available at libraries.
Librarians can watch the PSAs from the National Library Week website and link to the PSAs or embed them on their own websites, blogs or Facebook pages.
CHICAGO – Looking for ideas on how you can promote Communities matter @ your library this National Library Week (April 14-20)? Then check out the National Library Week promotional ideas page.
All ideas on the page were submitted to the Campaign for America's Libraries by libraries across the country.
CHICAGO - April is School Library Month – and to commemorate the annual celebration, atyourlibrary.org, the public website for the American Library Association's public awareness campaign, the Campaign for America's Libraries, presents five authors sharing their love of school libraries.
The authors are Mary Amato ("The Naked Mole-Rat Letters"), Rachel DeWoskin ("Big Girl Small"), Loren Long ("Otis"), Scott Hutchins ("A Working Theory of Love") and Elizabeth Percer ("An Uncommon Education").
CHICAGO — Thanks to a generous grant from the Dollar General Literacy Foundation, the American Library Association (ALA) and its Office for Literacy and Outreach Services (OLOS) will continue funding the American Dream Starts @ your library®, a literacy initiative for adult English language learners and their families.

Virbac : Virbac : a 15,8% net profit increase in 2012 Public release -March 11, 2013 NET SALES 695.2 M€ +11.6% _____ CURRENT OPERATING PROFIT 98.1 M€ +14.4% _____ NET PROFIT Group share 66.6 M€ +15.8% Sales growth of +11.6% in 2012. Primarily generated by an 8.2% organic growth, this performance was driven by both segments: companion animals (+10.4%) with in particular the launch of CaniLeish - vaccine against canine Leishmaniosis - in Europe and the expansion of Virbac ranges in the US market; food producing animals (+5.1%) thanks to the continued development of emerging markets. Growth has been further increased by two factors: a significant exchange rate impact of around 2.7% and the integration of acquisitions - Stockguard in New Zealand as from July and Centrovet in Chile as from December - altogether adding 8.6 M€ of sales. Strong increase of consolidated results. Current operating profit and net profit also increased strongly, +14.4% and +15.8% respectively. This very positive evolution has been due on one side to the improvement of gross margin, leveraged by a favourable mix of higher margin business and countries (companion animals; USA). On the other side, operating expenses have been controlled and as a whole increased less than sales with the exception of R&D expenses. Commercial investments have been further increased in a selective set of countries, in particular in the United States and Brazil. As previously announced, human and financial resources allocated to innovation continued to be reinforced. The outcome is a new increase of Research and Development expense, more than 22% in 2012 or 0.6 point as a percentage of sales, after an increase of 15% and 0.3 point in 2011. This investment for the long term competitiveness could be offset by the significant improvement of profitability before R&D. As a result, the current operating profit increased by +14.4% and reached 14.1% of sales, a 0.3 point improvement versus 2011. Stockguard and Centrovet contribution to the current operating profit are in line with expectations and represented 2.7 M€. After deduction of interest and tax, net profit - Group share amounts to 66.6 M€, a +15.8% increase compared to 2011. High generation of cash and sound financial structure. This good economic performance produced a substantial cash-flow increase. Combined with a tight control of working capital needs, it resulted in an increased cash generation and a debt reduction of around 40 million Euros excluding acquisitions. Cash payments on acquisitions - essentially Stockguard and Centrovet - represented 92 million Euros. Altogether the consolidated debt increased moderately and Virbac's financial structure remains very sound, with a rather low level of net debt, 39% of shareholders equity. 2013 perspectives 2013 will be a year of consolidation of recent products in companion animals and sustained growth in emerging markets in food producing animals. This should lead to a 5 to 7% organic growth; in addition, Virbac will benefit from the full year impact of the recent acquisitions, primarily Centrovet which accounted for only one month in 2012. Overall at current exchange rates, sales should come close to 800 Million Euros in 2013 and Virbac's ambition is a further 0.5 point improvement of operating profitability. The net profit should also increase, but to a lesser extent given minority interests in Centrovet and the interest expense on acquisitions. A dividend of 1.90 euro per share, as compared to 1.75 euro last year, shall be proposed at the next Annual Shareholders Meeting and payable on June 26, 2013. Consolidated numbers as of December 31 2012 2011 % change in millions € 2012 / 2011 Revenue from ordinary activities 695.2 623.1 +11.6% Growth at constant exchange rates +8.9% Pro-forma growth at constant exchange rates +8.2% Current operating profit 98.1 85.7 +14.4% As a % of sales 14.1% 13.8% Other non operating income and expenses 0.1 0.5 Operating profit 98.2 86.2 +13.9% Profit before tax 95.5 83.5 +14.3% Net profit - Group share 66.6 57.5 +15.8% Shareholders' equity 346.2 311.4 +11.2% Net financial debt 133.9 69.7 +92% Operating cash flow before interest and tax 123.5 107.2 +15.2% The financial statements have been audited; issuance of the auditors' report is ongoing.

not rolling over at 5 months
Some people are like slinkies. Not really good for anything but you cant help smiling when you push one down the stairs.
my lil man is 5 mnths and not really rolling either has done it a couple of times but doesnt like to
Ha - my LO will only roll over at my mom and dad's house. I can't figure out why but I think its because he hears Grandma and wants to get to her. Don't worry and don't compare your LO to others...every baby develops differently and your ped will let you know if there is anything to be concerned about. My first son didn't roll over until he was 7 months...didn't actually crawl until he was a week short of a year...didn't walk until he was 16 months. I worried and worried that something was wrong but 5 years later he is a perfectly happy, healthy 5 yo
I've definitely learned from my first to not follow the baby books too closely on milestones or compare my baby to what others his age are doing. My son walked at 11 months while his friend born the same week walked at 18 months. But my now 2 year old still can figure out how to use a straw when some 6 months old can figure straws out. I still have to remind myself that every kid goes at their own pace.

First off, I am not into science fiction (or at least I wasn't), so I was quite skeptical about me enjoying this book...but I did like it :) It is an easy read for older kids and teenagers (though I bet my mother would have loved it, too).

Texas Architect July/Aug 2007: Luxury
Texas Architect is the official publication of the Texas Society of Architects, each edition features recently completed projects and other editorial content largely written by AIA members in Texas. That collective participation was the basis of Texas Architect's recognition by the national AIA with a 2010 Institute Honor for Collaborative Achievement.
The rendering depicts the view looking southeast from over the arnett-Benson neighborhood at the future North University avenue Mercado. a new pedestrian bridge will connect Texas Tech University to the development. AIA Lubbock Completes Mercado Design l u b b o c k Originated as AIA Lubbock's chapter gift to the city of Lubbock in com- memoration of AIA150, the design of the North University Avenue Mercado is complete. This planned indoor/outdoor public plaza in North Lubbock will embrace the art, architecture, and culture of the local Hispanic community at an already identified site targeted for rede- velopment. The mercado design is founded on the AIA's "Blueprint for America," a nationwide com- munity service program that funds grants for collaborative initiatives between AIA architects and their communities. Collaboration and public participation was key to the mercado's design, according to Brian Griggs, Assoc. AIA, who coordinated the charrettes. AIA Lubbock held two community charrettes with more than 100 attendees and garnered public feedback, including recom- mendations for performance areas, public artwork, and kiosk retail. As currently designed, the project will be located just over a mile from downtown at the northwest corner of 4 th Street (the future Marsha Sharp Freeway), North University Avenue, and Santa Fe Drive. The 11.7-acre site has not yet been purchased, however. Nearby alternate sites have been identified. The design, incorporating an array of ame- nities, addresses the need for both business growth and cultural identity. The planned 124,000 square feet of traditional retail archi- tecture will include a 25,000-sq. ft. anchor retail site, small boutique shops, indoor/out- door cafes, and restaurants. The outdoor mercado to the north will consist of 20,000 square feet of kiosks where local residents and vendors can sell fresh produce, foods, artwork, and other items. In the center of the outdoor mercado a performance stage will accommodate outdoor concerts and private events. Pedestrian- friendly common spaces intersperse between the built structures and several plazas where elements such as a sculpture garden, tower, waterscape park, and public artwork will greet visitors. A new pedestrian bridge currently under construction over the new Marsha Sharp Freeway connects Texas Tech Uni- versity campus with the future mercado site and will be punctuated with a landscape/ hardscape entry landing into the development. Veh ic u- lar access into the mercado is planned from the southeast corner of the development to a four-story, 720-car parking garage. An addi- tional 40-plus ground parking spaces will be located on the north end of the site. In response to the site's surroundings, larger, barrier-like facilities such as the park- ing garage are focused to the south, while a more inviting, pedestrian-friendly environment to the north will invite people from north Lub- bock neighborhoods into the development. A perimeter streetscape will elegantly border the entire development and soften the transition to surrounding areas. Architectural elements within the mercado will be based around the rich, artistic influ- ences of the Hispanic culture, whose presence is predominant in the north Lubbock neigh- borhoods. Vibrant color, playful rooflines, and intricately laid walkways invite visitors. The future mercado will be a catalyst spur- ring additional growth and economic develop- ment in the north Lubbock community while implementing cultural significance as place of pride for future generations. The design team, made up of AIA Lubbock members and Texas Tech University College of Architecture students, worked closely with the Steering Committee, the AIA150 Commit- tee, volunteers from the AIA Lubbock chapter and other allied professionals. The team drew inspiration from case studies of similar suc- cessful developments, such as Market Square in San Antonio, Menlo Park Mercado and La Encantada developments in Tucson, Ariz., and Horton Plaza in San Diego, Calif.

How to Soundproof a Home Theater
Get expert tips and best practices for soundproofing your home theater and media room.
For any home theater, you need to be aware of the quality of sound and the amount of sound leaking from the room. Family members in other parts of the home and your neighbors should not be disturbed by what you're watching, so soundproof the room as much as possible. There are two ways to do this:
1. Use acoustic sound-deadening drywall (zero-sound drywall).
2. Use sound dampening materials such as sound panels, drapes or carpeting.
For new homes or full remodeling, it is best to install zero-sound drywall. It absorbs sound, is thick, and since the drywall is the sound barrier you can decorate the room with normal paint and materials.
For existing rooms not going through a full renovation, the use of light blocking/insulating drapes helps with sound deadening, along with carpeting the floor. Carpeting has ratings for sound dampening, so look for carpeting that helps soundproof a room.
Another option is to mount acoustic panels on the walls. The panels are made specifically to isolate and absorb sound and to improve the acoustics of the room. The drawback of acoustic panels is that they are not very attractive, although some are available in different colors or have art or photos silkscreened on them.

This made me laugh.
This made me laugh.
The Rally Onion wants 150 fans before Opening Day.
I love this quote. It's interesting to hear an AL pitcher say that. Although I've always thought of Philly fans as the Red Sox fans of the NL.Papelbon continued: "The Philly fans tend to know the game a little better, being in the National League, you know, the way the game is played."
I knew a guy once with a prosthetic leg. Those things STINK when you take them off, especially when you've been walking on it in the heat. I bet that was a horrible experience."I've had a guy take off his prosthetic leg and throw it in the bullpen in Boston and want me to sign it."
"I never argue with people who say baseball is boring, because baseball is boring. And then, suddenly, it isn't. And that's what makes it great." - Joe Posnanski
I can see the scene in parties, "Please, we really don't want to see your Papelbon autograph again."

Aguinaldo Shrine
The opulent Aguinaldo mansion (built 1845) in Kawit played an important role in Philippine history. It was here when Cavite's revolutionary general Emilio Aguinaldo proclaimed the independence of the Philippines from Spanish rule, creating Asia's first republic on June 12, 1898. Technically, Aguinaldo was the first president.
The compound was declared a national shrine after the death of the general in 1964, whose tomb was placed in the garden behind the mansion. There's a newly built park in front of the mansion.Related to:

Imus Neighborhood
Once claimed as the Christmas Town of the Philippines, Imus is a clean and lovely town made popular by its Christmas street preparations started as early as 3rd week of November where every barrio start to decorate their streets with beautiful Christmas lanterns and other holidays stuffs. When visiting Imus during this season, you will notice that you're about to pass by another barrio when the design/ color/ theme of the street changes.Related to:

Undeniably the most popular attraction of Cavite province, Tagaytay City is at the other end of the Aguinaldo Highway. Tagaytay is famous for its cool and windy atmosphere, fantastic views of Taal Lake and Taal Volcano and fresh fruits and vegetables and beefmeat.Related to:

Caylabne Resort Day Tour
Caylabne Bay Resort is located in Ternate, Cavite. It's 90 km south of Manila. We visited the place April 2006 with some friends from work. It has 2 pools and a beachfront but there were jellyfish so we just stayed in the pools.
Part of the daytrip was lunch (choose from liempo, fried chicken and pork) which was a disappointment. We expected something more from the P1000 package. It didn't include drinks, either. We still had fun in the pools primarily because of the company, and the change of scenery.
They have ATVs, banana boat, aquacycles and paddle boards for rent. The rest of the groups rented ATVs and they said it was fun (so this is not first-hand but it's from 4/4 people). I appreciated this trip because it's far from Dasma where I'm based and it was a welcome break from work.Related to:

Island Cove
You may want to give this one a try. The place has a butterfly park, a mini zoo, a water park, and there are several things that the family can do like a sing at their videoke, eat at the restaurant that serves filipino food, or play table tennis.
The place is ok. Nothing fancy about it. But I particularly like the bird farm with the ostriches and the emu. These animals are not indigenous to the Philippines but somehow they thrive well here. There's also a crocodile farm that surrounds a place where they have monkeys. The monkeys are funny creatures as they are sooo playful. The kids will adore them.Related to:

Aguinaldo Shrine
This was the former home of the first Philippine President - General Emilio Aguinaldo. It is a mansion, moderate in size but is really amusing. I remember how it surprised me to see how they had actually done the ceiling with the map of the Philippines carved on it. There's an old car which has been wonderfully preserved. It also features some of the clothes of the President and his family.
One of the things I liked was how the house has a reception for guests and another reception for those secret meetings located at the back.
This place is now converted into a museum and there are items which can be bought at the annex.Related to:

For Php 550 per hour, this is a good experience to begin with. For beginners, better look for someone who has experience Kayaking before. Life vest are given but if you don't know how to Kayak, you would not move. :)Related to:

Feb. 18, 2009
Luther College's second annual campus Energy Evolution campaign, held in conjunction with February's National Energy Awareness Month, is in full swing with educational events and activities encouraging the campus community to "reduce their use."
Co-sponsored by the student Environmental Concerns Organization and the college's Sustainability Initiative, the 2009 Energy Evolution is titled "Energy Evolution: Conserving for a Cleaner Planet." The project promotes a culture of lower energy consumption.
"Students don't usually make a connection from mountaintop mining to coal-fired power plants to light switches, but we're hoping to change that," said Megan Selvig, a senior environmental studies major and ECO member at Luther. "With Energy Evolution, we are tapping into the excitement that surrounds a college campus and ultimately using it to help this campus become more sustainable."
Earlier in the month, the campaign featured electricity and water energy fairs at which students volunteered for room audits measuring their energy usage. "Heat," a two-hour PBS documentary about the issue of global climate change, was also shown on campus followed by a discussion lead by Luther professors Jim Martin-Schramm and Todd Pedlar.
An upcoming Luther Energy 101 presentation will discuss the effect of the college's current investments in energy efficiency as well as the possibilities of producing electricity with wind turbines and heat from biomass boilers.
"Luther College has already done great things with energy efficiency on campus, reducing our carbon footprint by 15 percent, but one aspect that is often overlooked is the savings from energy conservation," Selvig said.
Selvig, who helped calculate the college's carbon footprint, worked closely with Luther's director of facilities services during the summers of 2007 and 2008 to inventory all of Luther's greenhouse gas emissions beginning with the 2002-03 academic year.
"The energy choices we make have lasting implications on the health of this planet, so why not start conserving now?" Selvig asked.
Other upcoming Energy Evolution events include a phantom load power energy fair, a campus blackout, and energy reduction competitions between residence halls on campus. Prizes for on-campus competitions include solar-powered iPods, Netflix subscriptions and bicycles.
New to this year's campaign is "Energy Challenge 2009," a competition between Luther and their rival, Wartburg College, to see which school can reduce the most energy.
Both colleges determined their "normal" energy usage in February. February 2009 energy use will be compared to the norm to determine which school will be awarded a trophy and banner to display until next year's Energy Evolution campaign.
"Last year we competed against about 30 other colleges across the country, but this year we are focusing our efforts on beating Wartburg in energy reduction," said Selvig. "We hope the competition with Wartburg will spur excitement because it is another chance to face our rival school and help Luther reduce energy use at the same time."
During the 2008 Energy Evolution, Luther experienced a two percent net reduction in energy use from February 2007. This year's campaign hopes to see an even greater reduction in energy consumption across campus by five percent, saving the college $15,000.
For more information about Energy Evolution, visit www.luther.edu/about/sustainability/challenge.html or contact Luther sustainability coordinator Caleb Mattison (email@example.com).
