NEWSWORTHY> Watch The Shreeve Films DVD!
My 2010 compilation DVD is finally available at Shreeve Films! I'm so excited! This DVD contains 22 videos, all digitally remastered and stuffed onto one disc for you to watch on your bigscreen television with a bucket of popcorn! (more…)
VIDEO> The Spirit of Formula D Las Vegas
My recent trip to Las Vegas for round 5 of Formula Drift was one of minimal luxuries. Joe Ayala and I could only afford one night in a hotel and a rental car was out of the question. Day one, we got up around noon, grabbed some "breakfast" at the Blueberry Hill next to the hotel, and began our journey to the track at around two. The trek consisted of roughly 2-3 miles, on foot, in 108 degree weather. Luckily for us, we found a shopping cart to carry our backpacks, camera cases, laptop bags, and of course my skateboard. Before long, we had covered the cart in MotorMavens cards (gotta represent) and found fun stuff to do on the way, such as drifting and dirt dropping the cart on the side of Las Vegas Blvd. Joe and I had fun overall, but boy were we glad when an old woman (with a legit mustache) stopped and asked us if we needed a ride. She drove us about a quarter of a mile to the gift shop of Las Vegas Motor Speedway, complaining the whole time about how she would be late to work. Haha!
Anyone will tell you that there's really no way to describe a trip to FD Vegas other than "hot." I had a great time making new acquaintances, like when my buddy Josh Herron took us by Forrest Wang's shop to BS and look at all his rad cars. I also had fun catching up with friends, like when the amazing Drew Fishbein and Ross Fairfield from OMGDrift let Joe and I stay in their hotel room because 18andFamous Abbitt Wilkerson was too busy napping to answer his door. Haha!
Regarding the video, I apologize for taking so long to finish it. The song I chose has a small introduction that requires specific footage to go with the audio. Hobo and I had arranged beforehand to film what I needed while in Vegas. Unfortunately, the lovely security team at Las Vegas Motor Speedway was very strict about when and who could drive in or out of the gates, so we just couldn't make it happen. That being said, I had to acquire the help of up-and-coming photographer, videographer, actor, and stunt driver Joe Ayala to finish the timeline.
Special thanks to Jason at ContourHD for hooking us up with the cameras. These things are a blast to use! Definitely one of the most fun moments of the trip was running around the grid, sticking cameras on cars. Thanks again!

OH SNAP> I'm Gonna Get You, Sucka!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAhahahahahahhaha Right now it's almost 3:00am Pacific Standard Time, and I'm getting ready to go to Formula D Las Vegas. At the same time, I've been working with our Art Director/Webmaster extraordinaire Andy Sapp on choosing layout options for a cool client project that we'll be revealing on MotorMavens very soon.
We're kind of stumped on what to do right now, so I thought I'd cruise through his personal blog and see if any good ideas popped into my head. Suddenly, I stumbled upon this photo, which seriously had me laughing out loud. Dude. I think this photo is HELLA funny! If you read through Andy's blog, he was writing about how he was washing his E46 before Formula D Atlanta, and then got into a friendly water balloon fight with some of the neighborhood kids… but damn! It looks to me like the neighborhood kids won this particular round!
I especially LOVE the expression on the kid's face. It looks like in his head, he's thinking, "Boo-yaaaa! Take THAT, sucka!" LOL! (Sorry Andy. This was just too hilarious for me NOT to share.)

PERSPECTIVE> Drifting Changed My Life
That's why this story by Jonathan McWhorter was so compelling to me. It's not about the money or the fame. It's not about your company budget or your connections. It's not even how long you've been in the industry. Those are not the things that make this industry so awesome. I could tell you but Jon did such a great job - I'll leave it in his capable hands. After all, he reminded me. So, without further ado... Read more...
RANDOM DOPE> Drift Mechaniks on Top Gear?!
Browsing Facebook this morning, I saw a status update from our own Lieze Truter, saying that our good buddies, the mighty Drift Mechaniks from Atlanta have been featured on Top Gear! I clicked the link to see what she was talking about, and apparently Top Gear featured a video that was produced by the dynamic bearded video duo of Roegge and Herron! Congratulations, guys!
When I clicked through to watch the video, it looked like a great mash up of footage from both video shooters, featuring one of the secret Drift Mechaniks drifting practice days at Nashville Super Speedway! Very cool! It even features some footy of our own art director Andy Sapp, who looks like his face is being overrun by a forest of facial hair, haha! It was pretty cool to see MotorMavens stickers on the Drift Mechaniks cars in the video! So make sure to watch all the Drift Mechaniks in this video and see how Andy gets down when he's not designing stuff on his Mac! I just lovvvvve the way his E46 BMW looks with those ultra baller steez Racing Dynamics wheels!
Big ups to Drift Mechaniks, and big ups to Will and Josh! I'm sure you might already know this, but the dynamic bearded duo of Roegge and Herron are now traveling cross country in a van, filming videos (No, not THOSE types of videos. Although I'm sure our boy Josh is super down. He even has POV equipment.) for the newest video project they're working on!
So enjoy the re-run of this video on our site, and in the immortal words of Andy Sapp, "Keep Drifting Fun! …Or Else."

NEWSWORTHY> Roegge and Herron 2010 DVD
Will Roegge and Joshua Herron are combining their killer creative talents to produce a DVD about American grassroots drifting, called Keep Drifting Fun! These two filmmakers have upped the ante on automotive video content ever since their visually stunning, yet technically precise work hit the web. To hear that they are joining forces to tackle this project is definitely exciting.
This news is of particular interest to me, because the last time this sort of project was attempted was in late 2006, for a project near and dear to my heart, called Slide America. Needless to say, I am pretty pumped to see something like this come together again, and I could not think of a better duo to pull it off.
It is my pleasure to give you a sneak-peek.

Anglican leader extols practice of Confession
Catholic World News - October 10, 2013
The Archbishop of Canterbury has endorsed Confession, saying that the sacrament is "enormously powerful."
Speaking to an ecumenical audience about divisions among Christians, the leader of the world's Anglican communion said that he has come to appreciate the value of Confession. Dr. Justin Welby—who has spoken in the past about the importance of the Catholic tradition, and has a Catholic priest as his own spiritual director—recommended that Anglicans make more frequent use of opportunities for confession.

Campaign finance disclosure statements on the Pleasanton city website tell the story: As of May 22, Yes on D had spent a whopping $379,308.60 to influence voters to support Oak Grove. No on D spent $6,915.28. Financial support for No on D comes from local donors. Yes on D has been 100 percent funded by the property owner, Frederic Lin.
The property owner has a financial stake in the outcome and is paying extravagantly to protect his investment. As an investor he is entitled to do that; making profits is his business. But Pleasanton voters should reject this slick and expensive campaign. It would be a shame to see such excessive and self-serving spending lead to victory at the polls, especially for a plan as environmentally irresponsible as Oak Grove.
Send a message to the special interests. Vote No on Measure D.

Creative wins music player interface patent
updated 10:30 am EDT, Tue August 30, 2005
Creative MP3 UI patent
Apple may be faced with another patent struggle following news that Creative Technology has won the patent for a on an iPod-like interface prevented Apple from receiving its own iPod interface patent. Creative's "Zen Patent" (US Patent 6,928,433) "was awarded to Creative for its invention of the user interface for portable media players, including many of the Creative Zen and Nomad Jukebox MP3 players", the company says. The Zen Patent covers the user interface that enables users of portable media players to "efficiently and intuitively navigate among and select tracks on the players," the company explains. Creative applied for the Zen Patent on January 5, 2001 and it was awarded on August 9, 2005.
Creative says its invention enables selection of a track in a portable media player as a user "sequentially navigates through a hierarchy using three or more successive screens on the display of the player".
One example of this could be the sequence of screens that could display artists, then albums, and then tracks, explains Macworld UK.
"The user interface covered by the Zen Patent was invented by Creative research and development engineers in our Advanced Technology Center in Scotts Valley, California," said Sim Wong Hoo, chairman and CEO of Creative.
"The first portable media player based upon the user interface covered in our Zen Patent was our Nomad Jukebox MP3 player. We shipped the NOMAD Jukebox to US retail customers in September 2000, and by November 2000, it was already ranked as the top revenue-generating product in the US in the digital audio player category, according to PC Data. By January of 2001, we announced that we had already sold 100,000 NOMAD Jukeboxes. The Apple iPod was only announced in October 2001, 13 months after we had been shipping the NOMAD Jukebox based upon the user interface covered by our Zen Patent."

Auction set for items on Ron Wilson farm
Farm items belonging to convicted Ponzi schemer and former Anderson County Council member Ron Wilson will be up for auction in two weeks.
The auction has more than 400 items, including what appears to be a wooden John Wayne likeness, antique and vintage farm equipment, a cannon, all-terrain vehicles and commercial refrigeration units.
Proceeds from the auction will go to help recover the losses of the 798 victims of Wilson's decade-long scam.
Wilson ran a silver investment business and pleaded guilty in November to a scheme that lost $57.4 million worth of his investors' money.
Wilson promoted his special knowledge of the silver trade but bought silver for only a few of his clients. The rest of the money went to keeping the scheme going. The rise of silver prices, with virtually no silver actually having been bought, spelled the end for Wilson's scam.
Most of the money has not been recovered.
The April 27 auction will be at Live Oak Farms in Woodruff, with Walnut Grove Auctions. Pictures of the items and auction details are available at www.walnutgroveauction.com.
The farm was operated as a model for sustainable growth, with public tours and a store that sold fresh food.
The farm will be open April 26 for a preview and organizers have warned that anyone on the farm before noon on that day would be trespassing.
It is one of several auctions and sales being coordinated through the federally appointed receiver in the Wilson case.
Previous sales of Wilson's things have included $675,000 worth of silver to a private broker and an auction of items from his Easley mansion for a total of at least $62,000.
The mansion is still for sale for $750,000 through Cindy Fox Miller and Keller Williams Western Upstate. The farm, with at least 50 acres, also is for sale through the receiver's office, reachable at www.receiverwilsonabc.com.
Investors will likely get back only pennies on the dollar, receiver Beattie Ashmore has said.
Wilson is serving his sentence in a Florida minimum-security prison, which lists his expected release date as December 2029.

Active Questions
|Sex & Intimacy / 1:07 PM - Saturday November 15, 2008
how do I tell my boyfriend I might be pregnant?
I'm 18 and I might be pregnant. My period is a week late. I'm getting a test later today. How do I tell my boyfriend? He's 24. But I think he is less mature than I am. What are my options? I don't want to quit college, but I might have to if I am going to raise a baby.
- Asked by Female, 22-25
When I was 16 I had my first real boyfriend, and he was my first, anyway, at one point I thought I was also pregnant, but I wasn't. I was 2 weeks late with my period, or longer, so you may not be pregnant. Try to stop worrying so much, cause that will only make it later. But since you are going to take a test, you will know for sure. If you aren't, well, thank God. LOL. If you are, it doesn't mean that you have to drop out of college if you decide to keep the baby. It isn't the end of everything for you. You seem like you have a good head on your shoulders, so I think you can manage to do college a little longer, and after you have the baby, stay off a while to recover and get daycare, or a babysitter. I am sure you have family and I am sure they would love to help so that you can better yourself for you child and self.
- Response by summerlysnow, A Cool Mom, Female, 36-45, Home Maker
You are wrong, the lectures are exactly what you need gto hear. You are jumping to a conclusion that by your own testament cannot possibly be the culprit. You need to focus on the other possibilities such as an infection, a blockage,. Another health issue that you aren't thinking of. Stress will cause a late menstruation, worry will, all manner of things will. You need to see your doctor and stop jumping to conclusions that you can plainly see are not possibilities.
- Response by agesago, A Cool Mom, Female, 56-65, Transportation
Don't jump to comclusions yet. There are many reasons why "AUNT FLO" has not come to visit yet.....
- Response by iowaczechartist, A Thinker, Female, 46-55
Of course you tell him. You both have some important decisions to make together. Do you have this child? Do put the child up for adoption? Do you attempt to raise? There are pros and cons to all these issues. Don't assume your BF will be there, though he may say it now. If you have the child, be ready to raise it on your own.
- Response by cubbiegal, A Thinker, Female, 46-55, Chicago, Administrative
NOT BEING A PRO....and only going from what I have shared with S/O in the past.......there are many reasons to be a week late.
- Response by nuttyprofessor, A Guy Critical, Male, 66 or older, Transportation
You do not have to quit college to raise a baby, just a few best friends and even possibly family to help out with the coping of this, and also if a couple of friends could help with baby sitting while you are at school that would be great! Day care centers usually take babies that are 6 wks of age, so please don't quit school! You do not need a man to raise a child, many have done this with great success! Your child will have a much better life with a mother who is college degreed and has a better paying job. Pray about it ( assuming you believe in God?), and everything always works out even when in your head you don't think it will. If you don't want to raise a child there is always a woman who can't have a child and desperately wants one, so don't forget about adoption. (also, you can always count on Anjelina and Brad, LOL!) seriously though you can go to college pregnant and you always have options that work out for the greater good! God Bless and take care of yourself!
- Response by hooker, A Life of the Party, Female, 46-55, New Orleans, Retired
First of all don't get yourself all worked up until you know for sure. If you are positive you are, then you just have to sit him down and tell him. It's his responsibility too, so you will both need to discuss what the best course of action is. Weigh the pros and cons before making a decision, and do what is best for you and what coincides with your beliefs. Raising children isn't easy or cheap, especially at your age (I'm not preaching, trust me. I had my first child two weeks before I turned 20. I was married over a year by then, but still, it's hard when you're young). It's a tough decision, but not impossible. Nothing happens without a reason, even if you don't see the reason right now. If you were using birth control regularly and using a condom every time, then this was definitely meant to be. Good luck!
- Response by purplebreeze, A Creative, Female, 46-55, Atlanta, Medical / Dental
If the test is positive you have these options which do not take into consideration one way or the other if the father is involved. 1. Do nothing. 2. Adoption. 3. Abortion. 4. Stay in school and have the baby. 5. Drop out of school and go on welfare or get some kind of financial aid. When you tell your boyfriend, it doesn't matter how you tell him, his reaction will let you know how mature he is. If the test is negative you have worried yourself for a good reason, use a different form of birth control other than condoms.
- Response by rockysprings, A Thinker, Female, 46-55, Retail
No, hon, he's not "less mature" than you are. That's obvious from the way you write. You're 18 and that means your 18.
- Response by greenwind, An Intellectual Guy, Male, 56-65, Construction
Don't tell him until you know for sure. And if it is a positive just invite him over and break the news. There is no simpler way with something like this, you just have to blurt it out.

A modern dictionary of Catholic terms, both common and obscure. Find accurate definitions of words and phrases.
A class of well-educated Jews who studied and explained the law. Occasionally they were referred to as lawyers or rabbis (Matthew 23:7). They were not priests. Some were members of the Sanhedrin (Matthew 26:57). Because they were devoted to defending and preserving the law, they considered Jesus a threat to their security. They challenged and baited him (Mark 2:16) on numerous occasions and ultimately took part in plotting his death (Luke 22:1-2). (Etym.

Exploratory Essay
The Affirmative Action Debate
Affirmative Action Defined
Affirmative Action can be defined as "positive steps taken to increase the representation of women and minorities in areas of employment, education, and business from which they have been historically excluded (Standford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)". However because those steps involve "preferential" selection affirmative action generates intense controversy (Standford Encyclopedia of Philosophy).
Affirmative Action (Negative)
There are many people who oppose the institution of affirmative action for many different reasons. Some argue that it allows students, and employees to slack off, and takes away their initiative to perform better. Some of the other arguments suggest that it demeans the color blind society that it is trying to create, and takes away from minority achievement as well. However the most common argument against affirmative action is that it creates reverse discrimination. This is the most important, and controversial argument made by those who criticize affirmative action. One article stated "it constitutes a form of racial discrimination and as such is presumably unjust, immoral, and illegal on it's face (About.com pg.1)". Critics of affirmative action claim that those who support it as a way to correct past discrimination are being hypocritical. Using another form of discrimination to fight discrimination solves nothing. Critics also suggest that students that are admitted to universities under affirmative action are not ready to handle the course work at the school they have been accepted to (Balancedpolitics.org pg.1).
Many examples can be cited to support these claims. For example in 1994 faculty members were fired from St. Bonaventure University (Studyworld.com pg.1). All of these faculty members were men. After being questioned about his actions, the president of the university stated that his motive was to protect the small number...

Document Number: 6894Professional Development Analysis - Professional development for teachers can have a positive impact on student achievement if it: (1) is sustained over time; (2) focuses on specific content areas or instructional strategies; (3) supports the collective learning of most � if not all � teachers in a school; (4) aligns with school and teacher goals; and (5) provides opportunities for teachers to practice and apply new knowledge. However, this report finds that in general, teacher professional development does not reflect these characteristics, which results in mixed results in improving student achievement. The report provides recommendations for those planning professional development. (Ravay Snow-Renner and Patricia A. Lauer, McREL, 2005) ...

Is it OK and normal to have sex while you have your period?
– Kathleen*
It all depends on the couple and how they feel about having sex when a girl has her period. Basically, some girls (and guys) don't like the idea of having sex during a period, some see it as a natural monthly break in the action, and others are perfectly comfortable with it. However you feel, just remember to talk it over with your partner beforehand to make sure you are on the same page.
If a girl has sex with a guy during her period, she can still get pregnant. And guys and girls also can get sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) during this time — in fact, having sex when a girl has her period can make it even easier to spread some STDs. So always use a condom every time you have sex.

Pure-growth investors should love LinkedIn Corp.'s planned $1 billion stock offering.
Raising that big a war chest will give the professional social network the ability to hire more talent and spend more on marketing.
It will also allow the Mountain View, Calif.-based company LNKD, -1.22% to invest more in overseas markets, an idea that some Wall Street analysts have been pushing on Chief Executive Jeff Weiner.
All of that spending should help boost LinkedIn's top-line growth, which slipped below 60% last quarter as the company gets larger, and year-over-year comparisons get tougher.
Yet any investors who care even a little about Linked's sky-high valuation — now 18 times expected 2013 sales — should seriously consider taking some profits here, for several reasons.
The most important is that insiders know when to sell. They consistently do better than retail investors when they do, a fact backed up by more than one long-term study of market transactions.
And you don't have to be an academic to read LinkedIn's stock chart and see that the shares have more than doubled this year, far outpacing the gains of the broader market for tech stocks.
Those who bought the company's IPO shares in 2011 and held them are sitting on even fatter profits.
If Weiner and the LinkedIn board — who know more about the company's business trajectory than any other shareholders — think that now is a good time to raise money by selling stock, why not follow their lead?
The second reason that investors who care about both growth and value should take some LinkedIn profits here is that the stock sale is going to further dilute their stakes.
BlackBerry speeds up sale, and more
What's News: BlackBerry is on hyper speed for a sale. The G-20 summit kicks off in St. Petersburg. A massive pile-up in the U.K. involves over 100 vehicles, and Yahoo gets a redesign.
LinkedIn shareholders should be used to having their stake diluted on a regular basis, of course, because the company was quite generous to its executives and early employees regarding stock options.
Every quarter, as those individuals exercise still more options, the company's share count goes up, making it harder to generate per-share earnings that would otherwise benefit common shareholders.
And because LinkedIn has been public for less than two-and-a-half years, its stock option expenses are already very high relative to its level of profit.

Vita's: a meal in an Italian kitchen
By Kate Haire
If you like good food, then Vitas is the place to go!
Even if you aren't Italian, you can still enjoy the grand food and the personable workers at Vitas in Bristol.
Walking into Vitas is like stepping into an Italian family's kitchen.
They'll make you just about anything you want – and both quality and quantity is the name of the game at Vitas.
"Vitas is the best combination of convenience and affordability," said Bryant Wong, 15, who attends Bristol Eastern High School.
Vitas serves so much food, that you wonder how it could make a profit with such great prices. It also gets orders done quickly so nobody's waiting around for a meal.
The meals are definitely gustoso, or tasy, and no wonder.
"All our meals are made here, not like McDonalds. More like Mama used to make," said Alexis Matukaitis, a Vitas employee.
Not only does Vitas have great food, but it's also a great community hangout.
The Farmington Avenue restaurant is decorated nicely, with an Italian theme, of course.
The menu is painted on the wall (done by Sarah Ives) and features pictures of some of the dishes.
Overall, the atmosphere is very comfortable.
"Customers and friendly service is part of what makes Vitas so good," said Kelly Young, who also works at Vitas.
She said that sandwiches are among the more popular foods ordered at Vitas.
Vitas has a broad menu, which should make it easy for most everyone to find something to eat. Go with many friends and everybody can get something they like.
Whether you want to sit at the counter, a table or in a comfortable booth, Vitas is about variety and finding something right for you.
One thing's for sure: Vitas is buono!
(That's good in Italian.)

Romney Scores by Attacking Obama's Two Favorite Things
2:50 PM, Oct 4, 2012 • By JEFFREY H. ANDERSON
But Romney didn't merely score when attacking Obamacare. He also went after Obama's other pet item: "green energy" crony capitalism. Obama's apparent obsession with fast trains and slow, expensive cars has been noted, as has his opposition to oil derricks and his fondness for ugly expanses of giant windmills (which often prove fatal to one of our most prominent national symbols). In fact, during this very debate, Obama invoked Lincoln — but not as the man who saved the union, or as the man who freed the slaves, or as the man who so thoroughly understood the Founding and adhered to its principles. Rather, he invoked him (once again) as the man who "said, let's help to finance the Transcontinental Railroad."
Obama, however, did not appear to be prepared for Romney's rejoinder after Obama accused Romney of favoring tax breaks for oil companies. Romney replied, "[T]he Department of Energy has said the tax break for oil companies is $2.8 billion a year. And it's actually an accounting treatment, as you know, that's been in place for a hundred years. Now…."
Obama interrupted and said, "It's time to end it."
Looking directly at Obama, Romney continued, "and in one year, you provided $90 billion in breaks to the green energy world. Now, I like green energy as well, but that's about 50 years' worth of what oil and gas receives, and you say Exxon and Mobil — actually, this $2.8 billion goes largely to small companies, to drilling operators and so forth. But you know, if we get that tax rate from 35 percent down to 25 percent, why...that $2.8 billion is on the table….That's probably not going to survive, [if] you get that rate down to 25 percent.
"But — but don't forget, you put $90 billion — like 50 years' worth of breaks — into solar and wind, to — to Solyndra and Fisker and Tesla and Ener1. I mean, I — I had a friend who said, you don't just pick the winners and losers; you pick the losers. All right? So — so this is not — this is not the kind of policy you want to have if you want to get America energy-secure."
This was cleverly done, all the way down to quoting a friend to soften the money line just the right amount. But Obama appeared to like it even less when Romney returned to this topic later in the debate. In response to a rambling Obama answer to a question about the proper role of government — during which the president talked about education, job training, and "making college affordable," before saying that "budgets reflect choices" — Romney issued the following reply, while Obama stared at the podium and looked to be practically seething,
"But you make a very good point, which is that the — the place you put your money makes a pretty clear indication of where your heart is. You put $90 billion into — into green jobs. And — and I — look, I'm all in favor of green energy. Ninety billion — that...that would have hired 2 million teachers. Ninety billion dollars. And these businesses — many of them have gone out of business. I think about half of them, of the ones [that] have been invested in, they've gone out of business. A number of them happened to be owned…by people who were contributors to your campaigns."
Immediately thereafter, he tied Obamacare back in:
"Look, the right course for — for America's government — we were talking about the role of government — is not to become the economic player picking winners and losers, telling people what kind of health treatment they can receive, taking over the health care system that — that has existed in this country for — for a long, long time and has produced the best health records in the world. The right answer for government is to say, how do we make the private sector become more efficient and more effective?"

Background/Educational Attainment
Ramon Bong Revilla, Jr. (born Jose Marie Mortel Bautista on September 25, 1966[1][2]), is a Filipino actor, TV Host, politician, and senator of the Republic of the Philippines. In 2009, he legally changed his last name to Bong Revilla.[2]
He was born Jose Marie Mortel Bautista to Jose Acuña Bautista (also known as Ramon Revilla) and Azucena Mortel.[3] In 1979, he finished his elementary education at Jesus Good Shepherd School in Palico II, Imus, Cavite. He finished his secondary education at Fairfax High School (Los Angeles) at Los Angeles, California, United States in 1982. from Wikipedia
Married to Rep. Lani Mercado-Revilla
Actress and Cavite 2nd district Rep. Lani Mercado Revilla has said she is not in favor of scrapping congressional pork, and her words were met with angry comments online." The report cited Mercado-Revilla's interview with PEP.ph, where she was asked if she was in favor of the proposal to abolish the Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF) or pork barrel fund.
Mercado-Revilla's answer was this: "Basta 'wag lang manghihingi sa amin ang mga tao (Well, as long as people don't ask assistance from us)!" She added: "E ano'ng ibibigay namin? Hindi naman puwede yung pinaghihirapan namin dahil sa personal naman namin 'yun, sa mga anak, sa mga pang-araw-araw na panggastos namin (What are we going to give them? I don't think it's fair to spend our hard-earned personal cash because we use that for our kids and our daily needs)."

From Inquirer
This was the new tack taken by Sen. Ramon "Bong" Revilla Jr. in defending himself from allegations that he benefited from the P10-billion pork barrel scam pulled off by Janet Lim-Napoles over a 10-year period.
He has hired a handwriting expert to verify the authenticity of his signatures on documents related to the questionable release of his pork barrel to the fake NGOs, Joel Bodegon, Revilla's legal counsel, on Wednesday said.
Revilla was one of the five senators and 23 members of the House of Representatives whose pork barrel funds were funneled into fake nongoverment organizations (NGOs) that Napoles had set up.

"It looks like it's time for the total abolition of the PDAF. Dapat pati yung mga insertions hindi na rin payagan (Even in the insertions should not also be allowed)," Senator Bong Revilla said in text message sent to reporters by his staff member.
"It appears that that the good intentions of helping the poor and spreading development to the countrysides are not realized at napaglalaruan pa pagdating sa (manipulated during) implementation,"
"Napakasakit na madungisan ang pangalang napakatagal naming pinagsikapan buuin at pangalagaan. I am praying that this will finally shed light on the controversy and clear our tarnished reputations."

Tomato Soup with Basil-Parmesan Cream4 visitors have rated this recipe.
Maybe it's because I used regular tomatoes, but the soup was too runny and the flavor wasn't great either.
I absolutely love this recipe! I did make one change. Instead of adding a dollop of the sour cream and parmesan cheese mixture after the soup was made, I decided to puree it along with the soup. It turned out great.

In our 30th episode, we talk with Chris Coyier of CSS-Tricks. Chris also works for Wufoo, an online form builder service. Chris talks about his inspiration for writing for CSS-Tricks and we look at his jQuery snippets, freebies and screen casts. We learn what Wufoo is and talk about the new API for Wufoo. Chris shows us the new Wufoo jQuery API Wrapper and we talk about the choice of putting the plugin on the jQuery namespace verses making it its own global object. Finally, we talk about how designers and developers responsibilities are becoming more blurred as it evolves and changes.

Plugin of the week
Very light weight Validation plugin for simple forms with simple validation rules. Here's an example of the jQuery needed to make a couple of fields required and match a specific format.
$("form").validity(function() { $("#vehicles") // The first input: .require() // Required: .match("number") // In the format of a number: .range(4, 12); // Between 4 and 12 (inclusively): $("#dob") // The second input: .require() // Required: .match("date") // In the format of a date: .lessThanOrEqualTo(new Date()); // In the past (less than or equal to today): });
We still feel that Jörn Zafferer's Validation plugin is the best as it will provide the most robust and customizable solution to your needs but felt that this light weight plugin would work well in smaller forms.

Spring Lake's varsity boys golf team continued its solid season with a second-place finish at Monday's Shelby Invitational, played at Oceana Golf Club.
The Lakers were outstanding on the front nine, shooting a season-best 156, but struggled to close out their rounds, finishing with a season-worst 181 on the back.
"We had anything from 4-5 putts to eagles, and one guy had three birdies," coach George Bitner said. "It was a zoo out there."
The Lakers' Henry McGanon took fourth overall with a round of 82. Ben Kramer and Bricker Reed each fired an 83, while Connor Love shot an 89.
North Muskegon won the event with a 334, three strokes better than Spring Lake.
On Friday, the Lakers won the Ottawa County Invitational for the second consecutive year, shooting a 336 at The Meadows in Allendale.
McGannon and Harrison Swanson each carded an 82, followed by Love with an 85 and Kramer with an 87.
The Lakers head to Ludington today for a league jamboree, then will play at Tri-County on Thursday and Fremont on Friday.

A host of celebrities such as Edward Fox, Jane Asher and Bill Nighy spearheaded the fundraising efforts for the new state-of-the-art facility, which includes a 340-seat main auditorium, a 120-seat studio, an education centre, a rehearsal space and a café. Construction on the building began in October 2003, after a three-year consultation between Keith Williams Architects and the Unicorn's Young Consultants Group from the local Southwark area.
The new theatre's first two productions – David Wood's adaptation of Philippa Pearce novel Tom's Midnight Garden in the main house Weston Theatre and installation piece In the Box in the River Theatre studio – run from 1 December 2005 to 29 January 2006 (previews from 24 November). The inaugural season then continues through to June 2006 with: Journey to the River Sea, Yikes! and Treasure Island in the Weston; and With a Doll in Her Pocket and Play Antarctica in the River.
Ticket prices for all productions are capped at £12.50 for adults and just £8.50 for children. Further ahead, the Unicorn is planning events including poetry readings, children's book author talks and a storytelling festival.
Founded in 1947 by Caryl Jenner, the Unicorn Theatre for Children initially performed to its audience of children, families and schools from the back of two ex-army trucks. In the late 1960s, Unicorn developed an alliance with the Arts Theatre in Covent Garden's Great Newport Street, producing children's shows in the day while at night the theatre reverted to a programme for adults. For the past four years, the Unicorn has played at numerous regional and London venues, including residencies at the Pleasance, Regent's Park Open Air Theatre and the Cochrane.
Whereas other European countries - including France, Sweden, Denmark, Ireland, Belgium and Holland - have had specifically designed theatres for children for some time, it has taken more than 50 years to set the wheels in motion for a permanent children's theatre in the UK.
In other building-related news, the Courtyard Theatre, which has its base at King's Cross (See News, 7 Mar 2002), has set up in residence at the Covent Garden-based Theatre Museum, which has not previously been used as a regular public performance space, to present a season of plays.
The current production of Amy Evans' Strike, written by John Finnemore and directed by Adam Barnard, continues until 9 October 2005 and is followed: by The Trial of Sir Henry Irving (11 to 30 October); Much Ado About Nothing (2 to 27 November); and Anna Toal's The Suicide Man, based on Antonin Artaud's Van Gogh - The Man Suicided by Society (29 November to 4 December).

Outraged New Zealand Prime Minister John Key has decried as 'nonsense' the inflammatory comments made by former Metropolitan Police head of royal protection Dai Davies concerning the release of what the latter considers to be sensitive information about the upcoming royal tour.
New Zealand Prime Minister John Key
Mr Davies criticised as 'idiocy' the release of information providing times, locations, maps and best vantage points to see The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, and their eight-month-old son Prince George, when they begin their long-awaited three-week royal tour through New Zealand and Australia on Monday.
The former head of royal protection described the information released via Governor-General Sir Jerry Mateparae's Twitter account as "a manual for terrorists, nutters and fixated people hoping to harm (the royal family)."
"I'm appalled at the idiocy of any idiot who would publish this far in advance both route and location," said Mr Davies. "I find it almost unbelievable someone would do this. It's a manual and it goes against anything I believe in. Appalled is the word."
The Prime Minister lashed out at Mr Davies' comments, saying: "Well that bloke's an idiot; the Governor-General certainly isn't."
"My understanding is Government House has been working with the Palace. They were quite aware of what was said," explained the Prime Minister.
"We've had a 30-year history of giving out indications of routes that the royal couple, royal family members, will take."
The royal tour is handled by the Department of Internal Affairs' Royal Visit Office, and the staff have indeed been disseminating the details of the visit using the Governor-General's official social media channels to help New Zealanders get a good glimpse of the Royal Family.
Allen Walley – the Royal Visit Office's media manager – insists the tweets and notifications did not breach any regulations.
"There is no problem with it," he said. "All of this was planned well in advance, it was signalled to Kensington Palace and it was cleared with New Zealand police. (…) Sending out the routes and public meeting places and so forth has been the norm with every royal visit to New Zealand for the last 30 years."
Hon Kate Wilkinson, His Royal Highness Prince William, Prime Minister Hon John Key and Hon Nathan Guy enjoy the sunshine on Kapiti Island during Prince William's previous visit to New Zealand.
In the meantime, The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have politely declined a personal invitation from the Prime Minister offering to cook them dinner at his exclusive family home, as they will not be staying in Auckland overnight.
"They said no because they want to be back in Wellington and close to Prince George," Key told The New Zealand Telegraph's The Diary.
The young royals are intent on spending as few nights as possible away from their little boy, who will be staying at a 'home base' with his nanny while the couple eagerly keeps up with a full schedule of engagements.
One can recall how well the Prime Minister got along with the royals when he and his family were invited to join Her Majesty for a weekend of leisure at Balmoral, The Queen's summer residence, last year. Prince William and Catherine were there to introduce 'bonny' Prince George to his great-grandfather, Prince Philip, who was the last to meet the future king due to ill-health.
Though guests are not supposed to reveal any details of their private visits with The Queen, Mr Key could barely contain his excitement, saying:
"It was a truly remarkable and extraordinary experience. They were extremely generous hosts and we had a fantastic weekend. We were invited in as guests in their private family time. (…) I played golf in the morning, Stephanie went out hiking (with Catherine), Max was part of a shooting party (that included Prince William), The Queen drove us around the estate so we had an opportunity to look at all the parts of Balmoral estate."
A special highlight of the weekend was the bonding time the Prime Minister shared with Prince William during the customary, not-to-be-missed, Saturday barbecue, prepared and served by Her Majesty herself along with other royal family members. It was, perhaps, this special courtesy that the Prime Minister hoped to repay with his offer to do the same.

SYRACUSE Carthage coach Jeff Ventiquattro stressed to his Comets the importance of playing a full 32 minutes Saturday against the defending Section 3 Class A boys basketball champions.
Not a half, or 25 minutes, but the full four quarters if they hoped to knock off perennial power Bishop Ludden in the Class A semifinals at Onondaga Community Colleges SRC Arena.
Unfortunately for Carthage, it did not fulfill Ventiquattros wishes. Despite playing the Gaelic Knights even for three of the four quarters, the second quarter was the Comets undoing as they fell 62-48.
After third-seeded Carthage (18-2) surprised Bishop Ludden by taking an 18-15 first-quarter lead, the second-seeded Gaelic Knights (18-2) outscored the Comets by 17-4 in the second quarter and never trailed again.w
And despite staying within striking distance and making a late run at the end of the game, Carthage could not sufficiently close the gap and fell in the semifinals for the second straight season.
I feel terrible that we couldnt get past the semifinals again, said Carthage junior Peyton McLaurin, who scored eight points. After the first quarter, we felt like we could play with them. But we just missed too many shots the second quarter, and they got too many easy hoops.
After falling behind 4-0 to begin the game, Carthage finally got going and tied the game at 7-7.
The Comets then went on an 11-6 run to go up by as much as 18-13 before Bishop Ludden trimmed the deficit to 18-15 heading into the second quarter.
We came out in attack mode, moving the ball well and getting good shots, Ventiquattro said. And I thought we did a good job of making them take tough shots to begin the game.
The second quarter, however, was a complete turnaround. Dan Kaigler scored on a follow shot to begin the quarter for Bishop Ludden, Kevin Serotnik hit a 3-pointer and Kaigler scored in the lane to boost the Gaelic Knights into a 22-18 lead.
Carthage missed some makeable inside shots early in the period, and did not get back on the scoreboard until a McLaurin 10-footer dropped with 3:20 left in the quarter.
Keyan Pinnocks two free throws 40 seconds later would be the only other Carthage points of the quarter.
Kaigler, who led all scorers with 23 points, scored eight straight points during one stretch, and Ludden scored the final eight points to assume a 32-22 halftime edge.
Most of our shots that second quarter came off East-West passes, Ventiquattro said. The first quarter we were going North and South and getting more penetration.
Carthage senior Walter Jeter, who scored eight points, said the idea was to attack and stretch out their defense. That worked well the first quarter. I think we got a little tentative the second quarter, and even the good shots wouldnt drop.
Carthage fought back to within 38-32 following a pair of Jake Redmore hoops and two Pinnock free throws with 3:23 left in the third quarter.
But, again, the Comets went cold offensively, and Bishop Ludden scored the last six points to head into the fourth quarter leading 43-32.
Ludden stretched the lead to as much as 53-34 midway through the fourth quarter. But the Comets did not quit, and actually trimmed the deficit to 55-46 with a minute and a half remaining.
However, time ran out on their season as Ludden hit eight free throws over the last 1:35.
Defensively, I thought we really made them work, and mixed and matched the zone and the man-to-man effectively, Ventiquattro said. We also battled them on the boards. But their size, in the end, was a little too much for us.
Pinnock led Carthage with 18 points. Six-foot-3 Ben Hackett and 6-7 Jack Rauch added 12 points each for Ludden, which plays top-seeded Jamesville-DeWitt in next weekends final.
We knew Carthage would be tough, and they came out and took it to us early, said Bishop Ludden coach Pat Donnelly, a SUNY Potsdam graduate. But my kids have a lot of tournament experience, and have played a lot of big games over the last few years. Once we calmed down, ran our offense and started defending better, we took control.
After going 36-4 the last two seasons, Ventiquattro said the Carthage program is where we thought we could be a few years ago. We played in 17 tournaments this past spring and summer, so the kids worked hard to get to this point.

I had order some tent stakes from goinggear.com that never showed up. I finally emailed them about it and Marshall got back to me right away (all this was on a Sunday). Apparently USPS had somehow screwed up and returned the package. Marshall was very helpful and got the stakes back in the mail and they showed up a few days later.
I wanted to buy my first real high powered LED flashlight. I surfed the web for ages, trying to make sense of which lights were overpriced junk and which were a good deal.GoingGear.com is the best website I found for narrowing my search of currently available performance flashlights. Their web UI allowed me to easily apply restrictions to price, battery type, battery number, output power, etc. In addition, they include Marshall's personal review and beam shot video with almost every flashlight.Their inventory is vast; their prices are competitive; and their shipping was free (>$50), fast, and correct.It also appears that they are building and selling their own cool gear like wooden handled fire steels and fire pistons.I'm very happy with GoingGear.com.acronym 11/20/2011 12:45 PM

CSU, Chico Among First Schools in the Country to Make 'Climate Neutral' Commitment to Reverse Global Warming
Jan. 16, 2007

CSU, Chico Among First Schools in the Country to Make 'Climate Neutral' Commitment to Reverse Global Warming
California State University, Chico is one of the first campuses in the nation to sign a long-range commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and become "climate neutral" in its effect on the environment.
In December, CSU, Chico President Paul Zingg joined six other top campus executives in signing the American College & University Presidents Climate Commitment (ACUPCC). The other campuses represented were Arizona State University, Cape Cod Community College, College of the Atlantic, Lane Community College, Oberlin College and the University of Florida.
The ACUPCC calls on campuses to have a complete inventory of greenhouse gas emissions by one year, and an action plan in two years leading toward climate neutrality, which means utilizing renewable energy sources and other options to have a neutral impact on the environment.
As a founding signatory of the ACUPCC, Zingg has pledged to encourage other campuses to increase their environmental awareness and stewardship to reverse global warming. A letter went out from Zingg and 11 of his colleagues last month to about 380 college and university presidents urging them to sign the commitment document. The ACUPCC hopes to have 200 campus presidents signed on by June 2007.
"The leadership by President Zingg and Chico State to become one of the first universities to commit to greatly reducing and eventually neutralizing greenhouse gases is an extraordinary commitment to dealing with the defining challenge of the 21st century – reversing global warming," said Anthony Cortese, co-director of the ACUPCC and co-coordinator of the Higher Education Associations' Sustainability Consortium. "Moreover, President Zingg's willingness to found the Leadership Circle of presidents to encourage their colleagues around the country to join in making this historic commitment to climate neutrality is a great act of courage."
Cortese, a leader in the campus sustainability movement and president of Second Nature, was keynote speaker in CSU, Chico's sustainability conference last year, the largest conference of its kind in the country.
"Being one of the founding members of this group underscores not only our commitment to practice the sustainability values we advocate, but also to provide institutional leadership in these matters," Zingg said. "As our mayor and City Council recently did with a similar measure, signing this commitment demonstrates our alignment with our local community and emphasizes that addressing environmental challenges requires dedicated partners and bold action."
The ACUPCC calls on campuses to take actions that are already underway at CSU, Chico, such as establishing that new construction meets environmentally conscious "LEED" standards set by the U.S. Green Building Council, and beginning to inventory greenhouse gas emissions.

They are and were fine artists of oils, acrylics, and watercolors at the Grange Hall in the little hamlet of Alto, Michigan.

Duncan: Munday's Paul has eyes on the Big 12
Dee Paul has some unfinished business to accomplish in high school, mainly leading Munday to its third state football championship.
After the season ends presumably with a hoisted trophy at Cowboys Stadium, then Paul will make his decision on what college he will attend.
Paul decommitted from SMU Sunday night and will now choose between offers from Oklahoma State and Texas Tech — but not until after the season.
"I made (the commitment) way too soon. The big thing was they didn't have a track program," Paul said of his choice. "At the time I didn't know they didn't have track. And I wasn't so sure I wanted to run at that level."
Paul committed weeks before the state meet in May where he ran a sizzling mile relay split of 47.18 seconds, a time that was just as fast as what the 5A champ Duncanville anchor leg ran.
That helped prove he could run with the best in the state, regardless of classification. Now he wants to play in one of the best college football conferences in the nation.
Paul changing his mind shouldn't come as much of a surprise. Several area Division I commits in recent memory have changed their tune before putting pen to paper.
David Nelson was going to Notre Dame before deciding on Florida. Eric Ward first committed to Oklahoma before a last-minute change to Texas Tech. And Shavodrick Beaver was Michigan-bound before settling on Tulsa.
What makes Paul's situation a little different is that he's making a significant upgrade.
No offense to SMU, which has made some strides under June Jones, but the Mustangs can't compete with the allure of the Big 12.
When Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy shows up in little olé Munday as he did a few weeks ago, that's pretty hard to top.
The Cowboys offered Paul a scholarship soon after Gundy's appearance and then Tech followed suit when Paul was in Lubbock attending the Red Raiders' loss to Texas.
Whether he lands in Stillwater or Lubbock, Paul — who leads the area with seven interceptions — will be going to college as a defensive back. SMU had planned on using him at receiver, but Paul said he changed his mind this summer.
"I decided I liked defense better," Paul said. "I'm fast and I'm not scared of tackling anybody. While I can take a pounding, I'd much rather hit a person than get hit."
Paul gave no indication on which way he was leaning. This weekend during the Moguls' first-round bye, he attended Oklahoma State's 59-21 blowout of Tech.
"Either way, I don't think I can go wrong," Paul said. "As conferences go, the game is so much faster and there are so many great quarterbacks and receivers."
Playing defensive back in the high-scoring Big 12 — where teams occasionally can put up 50 points and still lose — doesn't seem very envious.
But for a fiery, competitive guy like Paul, it's right where he wants to be.
