The Mile-High Floating Jesus Problem
And we woke to a very improbable sight—
It certainly got our attention, all right—
A mile-high statue of Christ.
We looked for its makers, but none could be found;
The atheists saw it, and termed it "profound";
What's more, it was floating, two feet above ground;
As evidence goes, it sufficed.
They called out the networks, and went on the air,
Admitting it seemed as if something was there,
And if some called it God, now, they thought it was fair
Cos the burden of proof had been met.
"To be perfectly fair, we have always maintained
That no proof could be found", disbelievers explained,
"But the God explanation must be entertained
As a likely hypothesis yet!"
"Though it seemed, till last night, our position was strong,
When new data come in, we admit we were wrong!
We admit it! So now, could we please get along?
There is much now that needs to be done!"
"If the theist hypothesis now is the best
We have new variations to put to the test—
For if one God is real, well then, what of the rest?
What a marvelous path we've begun!"
But believers were hesitant, slow to agree,
They ignored, for the most part, the atheists' plea—
A demeanor, on their part, which none could foresee—
You'd have thought they'd be head of the line.
"Are we sure that it's Jesus? We're not being played?
We haven't confirmed that it isn't man-made—
(And I'm sure that His skin is a much lighter shade)
It's too early to call this divine."
"This isn't the Jesus that my people follow;
His hair is too long, and his cheeks are too hollow.
If anything, maybe it might be Apollo,
A false god, who doesn't exist!"
"Some billionaire made it, to make us lose face,
Or aliens, maybe, from far outer space—
Examine the evidence! Every last trace!
There are too many left on the list!"
In the meantime, the Muslims were busy denying,
And Orthodox Jews accused newsmen of lying,
While Wiccans, world-wide, began weeping and crying
And chaos pervaded the day.
The Christians, confused about what they were seeing,
Found one point on which every sect was agreeing:
"With each bit of faith, every ounce of our being,
We're praying it just goes away."
For Stephen_P, and thanks of course to Dr. A. who did it better.

I like your poem, thank you. How does the theist hide behind what is in front of them? Tantrums, probably.

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — U.S. stocks shed Monday losses to end modestly higher as investors again viewed a market drop as a buying opportunity.
"The declines are shallow as buyers come in because they need additional equity exposure. The path of least resistance is up," said Marc Chaikin, CEO of Chaikin Analytics.
The S&P 500 index SPX, +0.88% gained 9.79 points, or 0.6%, at 1,563.07, with consumer-related companies pacing the gains that included all but one of its 10 major sectors.
After rising to a record closing high of 1,570.25 a week ago, the S&P 500 index SPX, +0.88% declined 1% last week following the smallest increase in jobs in nine months and other reports on manufacturing and services also came in below expectations.
The jobs report prompted worries the U.S. economy had hit a soft patch. Breaking down the jobs report
Still, the S&P 500 remains 9.6% higher for the year, with corporate profit and the Federal Reserve's ongoing bond-buying program helping support equities.
"There are so many skeptics about the market going to new highs; pullbacks like last week are frustrating the bears, since there is no downside follow through," said Chaikin.
After a 67-point fall during the day, the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +0.82% ended at 14,613.48, up 48.23 points, or 0.3%.
Twenty-one of its 30 components finished in positive terrain, led by Bank of America Corp. BAC, +0.00% Coca-Cola Co. KO, +1.11% and Walt Disney Co. DIS, +1.18% .
Pharmaceutical giant Johnson & Johnson JNJ, +0.11% led blue-chip decliners, off 1.1% following a downgrade to neutral from overweight at J.P. Morgan.
After the close, Alcoa Inc. AA, +0.64% became the first member of the Dow Jones Industrial Average to release results for the first quarter when the aluminum producer reports its results.
While Alcoa's results mark the unofficial start of the earnings season, analysts cautioned against reading too much into its report.
"Do not get caught up in the hype of Alcoa being a good proxy for the upcoming earnings season because it is not and certainly its stock price has not reflected it either," said Nick Raich, chief executive officer at The Earnings Scout.
The Nasdaq Composite COMP, +0.41% added 18.39 points, or 0.6%, to 3,222.25.

In announcing Apple's fourth-quarter earnings, Peter Oppenheimer, Apple's chief financial officer, said that the company had seen an "unprecedented demand" for its Mac line in the fourth quarter, selling 1.61 million Macs—the most ever in a single quarter.
The gap between PCs and Macs has been narrowing rapidly the past year, and is likely to continue to close. Given the near fanaticism that many Mac users have, Apple's biggest challenge is convincing PC users to "switch". Their commercials and other propaganda, while often appearing condescending to many, seem to be working. More competition is always a good thing.

Campaigners have today launched new legal action with regard to the activities of the Royal Bank of Scotland on human rights and the environment, in areas such as Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Anglican Archbishop of York Dr John Sentamu has strongly criticised the inhuman UK policy on asylum seekers and has also spoken against the anti-homosexuality bill currently going through the Ugandan parliament.
The General Secretary of the World Council of Churches, the Rev Dr Samuel Kobia, has written a letter to Uganda's President Yoweri Museveni expressing concern and alarm at the country's draconian anti-homosexuality bill.
LGCM has welcomed wholeheartedly an assurance from the Archbishop of Canterbury's press office that he condemns the proposed draconian Anti-Homosexuality Bill currently before the Ugandan Parliament.
The Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, has for the first time publicly condemned Uganda's Anti-Homosexuality Bill. His statement follows weeks of pressure and a petition signed by thousands urging him to speak out against the Bill.
The Methodist Church has become the largest British denomination so far to condemn Uganda's proposed Anti-Homosexuality Bill. Their stance is expected to increase pressure on Anglican and Catholic leaders to speak out against the Bill.
After weeks of pressure from around the world, Ugandan politicians are reported to be considering an amendment to their proposed Anti-Homosexuality Bill to remove the use of the death penalty.
The election of the Anglican Communion's first openly lesbian bishop has been questioned by the Archbishop of Canterbury, who continues to face criticism for not speaking out publicly against the Ugandan Anti-Homosexuality Bill.
The Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, has nearly commented on the Ugandan Anti-Homosexuality Bill.

Yeah, that looks good. I'd only move the team names one character to the right, so that they don't start at the border of the screen. "RottKing" and "Tropiano" might get too close to the graded part, but it could also be reduced by one character to the right at those names' level.

- 2 fresh mangos, peeled, pitted, and cut into 1/2-inch dice (For the salsa)
- 1/2 red onion, cut into small dice(For the salsa)
- 1 small cucumber, peeled, seeded, and diced (optional) (For the salsa)
- 1/4 to 1/2 Scotch Bonnet or habanero chile (or other hot chile), seeded and finely minced(For the salsa)
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice, or more to taste(For the salsa)
- 2 teaspoons honey or agave syrup, or more to taste(For the salsa)
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro(For the salsa)
- 1 food-safe cedar plank, about 6 by 14 inches, soaked in water to cover for 2 hours (For the salmon)
- 1-1/2 pounds skinless center-cut salmon fillet (For the salmon)
- Olive oil (For the salmon)
- Traeger Salmon Shake, or lemon pepper (For the salmon)
In a mixing bowl, combine the mango, onion, cucumber, if using, chile pepper, lime juice, and honey and stir to mix. Taste for seasoning, adding more chile, lime juice, or honey as desired. Gently stir in the cilantro. Cover and chill if not using immediately. When ready to cook, start the Traeger grill on Smoke with the lid open until the fire is established (4 to 5 minutes). Set the temperature to 350 degrees F and preheat, lid closed, for 10 to 15 minutes. Drain the plank. Rub both sides of the salmon with olive oil and season with Traeger Salmon Shake. Place skin-side down (the side that would have had skin) on the plank. Put the plank with the salmon directly on the grill grate and roast for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Serve with the mango salsa. (You can serve the fish on or off the plank.)

A change of scene and bringing in a new activity could be something exciting, and yes, it could lead to something else, or more of the same -- or, maybe, it was just a one time thing. How would you like things to develop? I think you're in a situation where you might be able to talk with him about it -- or just let things happen as time goes along. Sounds like just letting things happen has worked out pretty well in this case. Good luck!View Thread
Sometimes in the shower I may have some residue of morning wood which only seems to be encouraged to grow when I wash my penis. Some days when I'm in a hurry I think of that as a 'nuisance erection' -- it needs attention but I really don't have time to get into it. I'll pump it with one hand while I continue washing another body part with the other (not a bad technique, really) and once penis has been adequately stimulated there will be some ooze as the manly cycle completes. Sometimes you just owe it one.
Then there are those times when you choose to put the major part of an evening into self-fulfillment. I've been known to take several hours when I know I'll be alone to relax fully by shutting myself away where I can't be heard. After a good hot whirlpool I'll take my damp, nude self to my bed and lie on my back, get some lube and start gently stroking. Again I'll follow the one-hand technique: when masturbating only touch your penis with one hand at a time. With the other, caress a body part. When your penis gets hard, try to find another body part which is hard. Rub them both, see if one feels harder, and how the hardness feels different. And if you shave your cock regularly, then feel the smoothness of your cock's skin with one hand while you find another smooth, hairless place and see how smooth both of them are. As one hand starts to feel some precum, start licking your other hand -- see how different the two moistures feel. Relax, enjoy all the sensations. Feel the hightened tensions grow in your loins and as you start to feel some tightening in that area, back off and relax a little. Enjoy 'edging' and encounter the delight of having the relaxation of orgasm sweep over you as your dick remains hard without yet having ejaculated.
Continue the session some more, being sure to add some more lube as you progress. You'll be glad you shut the windows since in your relaxed state you may find yourself making some happy moans and groans -- sounds probably best kept to yourself. Enjoy feeling your hair, your muscles contract and relax; switch hands and see if sometimes you can get your penis "confused" by its being caressed by another hand. As time passes and your tension grows your muscles will tighten up all over your body. You may find your hips lifting up off the mattress and starting to make those thrusting moves we seem to come hard-wired with. Your moans may become louder, almost turning into shouts as you feel the point of no return coming. At that point two hands is OK -- and you may have become so big and hard and firm that it will take both hands to grab your penis, one at the base and one next to it at the top. Holding loosely and moving quickly you're about to ejaculate -- and when you do, that's when you will truly shoot. That's the time when I have gotten semen all over my face and into my hair, with a trail going down to my chest. Then it's a great time just to let all your muscles relax as you have no fire left in you and gently drift off into a sound sleep.
And you can always clean up in the morning.
Ooze or squirt, they're both great, both to be appreciated in their own place.View Thread

Whether it's a DIY Brazilian wax or a botched attempt at "manscaping," homegrown efforts to remove the hair down there are sending more people to emergency rooms, new research suggests.
Pubic hair grooming injuries jumped five-fold between 2002 and 2010, according to a recent analysis of ER visits by scientists at the University of California, San Francisco. The cringe-inducing reports increased most at the end of the time frame, with an estimated 2,500 grooming mishaps a year by 2010.
And those are just the cuts, burns, gashes, rashes and other unpleasant outcomes that required emergency medical attention, said Dr. Allison Glass, a clinical researcher at UCSF. Those figures are likely a vast underestimate of the true injuries, and a reminder, among other things, of the need for extra care when wielding razors or hot wax.
"We actually found that 3 percent of all genitourinary injuries were related to grooming practices," said Glass. "I think the message is this is something that general practitioners and urologists should be aware of."
Not to mention the average Jane -- or Joe -- considering a little trimming.
Pubic hair grooming has become increasingly common, virtually ubiquitous, in recent decades, the report published in the journal Urology notes. Surveys suggest that between 70 percent and 88 percent of young women in the U.S. partially or fully remove their pubic hair, the study said. Among men, both gay and straight, the estimates ranged between 58 percent and 78 percent.
Nearly 57 percent of the injuries logged in the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System database were in women, but 43 percent affected men, a surprise to some urologists, Glass said.
"This is not a female thing. It's a male thing, too," she said.
Shaving razors were the culprit in 83 percent of the injuries, with cuts being most common result. Scissors were used in nearly 22 percent of injuries, and hot wax led to 1.4 percent of the harm.
The accounts of the reported injuries would make anyone squirm. Suffice it to say that the 17-year-old boy who picked up a razor after smoking marijuana now understands that that was a bad idea.
What's behind the reason for the rise in the most private of grooming injuries? Glass suggests that it's caused in no small part by a social shift that has filtered down to girls as young as 12. A 2011 study by researchers at the Center for Sexual Health Promotion at Indiana University analyzed Playboy centerfold images between 1953 and 2007. They found that pubic hair began disappearing from popular pinup depictions starting in the 1970s and disappeared by the late 2000s.
"Changing beauty ideals are reflected in media sources … and have likely contributed to the expansion of this cultural trend," Glass and her colleagues wrote.
The mean age of those injured was nearly 31, the study found. But almost half of the injuries in women occurred in those aged 19 to 28 -- with nearly 29 percent occurring in girls younger than 18. In men, the harm was more evenly distributed, with about 37 percent in those aged 19 to 28, and nearly 30 percent in those aged 29 to 45. Only 16 percent of injuries occurred in boys younger than 18.
So -- be careful out there, guys! I've been shaving my cock and balls about twice a week for the last two years or so without incident -- I guess I'm lucky. I make sure to use a gel and not a cream so that I can see what I'm doing and make sure my razor blade isn't too dull. But I guess that after some 50 years of shaving at least parts of my face I've gotten the hang of it. Guess the matter takes more care than I might have realized! I just use lots of gel and take small strokes, same as I might on a place on my face I was being careful of, like around my lips.View Thread
Are there any other issues with this apparent shrinkage of your penis? Has it hindered your performance or brought any pain, other than the reasonable emotional toll it must take?
Our equipment can be any size and the important thing is to get as much responsible enjoyment out of it as possible. If you can get a medical recommendation that you just adjust to it and get past it, that could be great. And if there are some underlying issues which need attention, that would be a good reason to get yourself checked out.
Good luck! And let us know how it goes.View Thread
Doctors can be good at giving things names and letting us stop worrying about them! Recommend you give it a try, even though as you say you do get checked annually.
Guys, can you think of anything else which you can come up with here?View Thread
And thanks for appreciating my reply above. The ideas there are things I strongly believe and have brought me a lot of peace and happiness and am glad if they've been any help!View Thread

It is sometimes unusual how you come up with a topic for a column. I was having lunch at a local restaurant the other day when a pretty lady called me over to her table. She complimented me on one of my columns and asked when I was going to write about cornbread and buttermilk! She told me this was such a yummy combination that everyone should try it.
The more I thought about her suggestion, the more I learned about so many people out there who have good things to say about cornbread and buttermilk.
Country music star Jimmy Dickens wrote "keep on eatin' that cornbread and buttermilk, a country boy's delight. I eat it every morning, I eat it noon and night."
Hank Williams Jr. sang "Sunny days, bale and hay, go to church and learn to pray, cornbread and buttermilk, scratch my head, brown cow, cat's meow, come on mule pull my plow."
Even "Gunsmoke's" Ken Curtis ("Festus Haggen"), formerly lead singer of Sons of the Pioneers, wrote a song about cornbread and buttermilk.
There really must be something special about cornbread and buttermilk if this lady had it in mind while eating her lunch and if so many folks took the time to write about this tasty treat.
In a song called "Greasy Creek," the lyrics went like this: "I came down from Kentucky, a place called Greasy Creek, that cornbread and buttermilk was all I had to eat. I have served my country, work for Uncle Sam. But cornbread and buttermilk made me what I am."
A writer named John Quincy Wolf sang "turnip greens, turnip greens. Cornbread and buttermilk and good old turnip greens."
So what is in this special cornbread anyway? I guess it depends on who makes it. Grandma used: 1 cup cornmeal, cup all-purpose flour, teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 beaten egg, and one cup of buttermilk. She mixed it all together and poured it into a 9-inch iron skillet and baked it for 20 minutes in a 400-degree oven.
The family took that hot cornbread, crumbled it and put it into a tall glass of cold buttermilk and ate it with an ice tea spoon. Ooh, so good! Nectar of the gods!
Cornbread and buttermilk. Brings back old memories. Thanks to the pretty lady for reminding me.
Pass on to your kids, "Young'uns, wash behind your ears, your dirty hands, and then eat cornbread and buttermilk to grow you into men."

ST. PAUL: CHANGING LEADERS -- The St. Paul Chamber Orchestra won't have a music director anymore. What it will have, beginning in the 2004-5 season, is leadership transferred to its musicians and five artistic partners. An announcement in St. Paul yesterday said Andreas Delfs, above, the ensemble's music director since 2001, had played a leading role in creating the new collaboration, based on a European model. He will serve as artistic consultant to the orchestra for the next two seasons and will lead it in an annual set of subscription concerts while continuing as music director of the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra. Starting with the next season, Nicholas McGegan, who directs the orchestra's Baroque Series, will become an artistic partner. Three others will also join the lineup: the violinist and conductor Joshua Bell, the oboist Douglas Boyd and the pianist Stephen Prutsman. In the 2005-6 season, they will be joined by the Italian conductor Roberto Abbado. Under the new setup, the artistic partners will work with two committees in whom decision-making power is vested. Each committee will comprise three musicians and two managers, who are the orchestra's president and managing director, Bruce Coppock, and its vice president and general manager, Barry Kempton. The artistic vision committee will be responsible for all aspects of programming, selection of guest artists and conductors, and recording activities. The artistic personnel committee will oversee all orchestra personnel matters, including auditions and tenure review. Now in its 45th season, the 35-member St. Paul Chamber Orchestra lays claim to the title of the country's only full-time professional chamber orchestra.
DIVAS: NOW HEAR THIS -- The soaring aria sounds beautiful. But even if the soprano is singing in English, her words may be unintelligible without titles. ''It's not our ears,'' says Joe Wolfe, an Australian physicist. ''In some cases, the information simply is not there.'' In a brief paper published yesterday in the journal Nature, the physicist and his colleagues at the University of South Wales described what they called the ''soprano's effect.'' In creating it, the singers sacrifice intelligibility to make music by pushing air from their lungs through the larynx, making the vocal cords vibrate twice as fast as a man's 220 times a second and creating a higher pitch, The Associated Press reported. Classically trained sopranos, led up the scale by researchers, eventually muddied the vowel sounds so that ''hard,'' ''hoard'' ''who'd'' and ''heard'' could not be distinguished.
NASHVILLE: EARL SCRUGGS AT 80 -- There were greetings from President Bush and Dolly Parton and Dwight Yoakum and plenty of prime picking at a surprise 80th-birthday party for the banjo great Earl Scruggs at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum in Nashville on Tuesday. Mr. Scruggs, who teamed with Lester Flatt (who died in 1979) in the Foggy Mountain Boys and Flatt & Scruggs, brought a three-fingered approach to banjo playing that gave bluegass music a distinctive sound. At his party, he accepted a banjo-shaped cake and watched an all-star cast perform ''Foggy Mountain Breakdown,'' The Associated Press reported. Among those attending were Vince Gill, Ricky Skaggs, Bela Fleck, Alison Krauss, Brenda Lee and members of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band.
LOCAL 802: NEW PRESIDENT -- David Lennon, a graduate of the Juilliard School and former principal violist of the Kansas City Symphony and the New York City Opera National Company who has played professionally in concert and theater productions, was installed on Tuesday as the successor to Bill Moriarity as president of Local 802 of the American Federation of Musicians. Calling itself the world's largest local union of professional musicians, 802 represents the musicians at Lincoln Center, in Broadway pits and those who perform in and around New York in jazz clubs, cabarets, hotels and clubs as well as in recording sessions. Mr. Moriarity retired.
MUSEUM: CURATOR NAMED -- Caron Smith has been appointed chief curator and deputy director at the Rubin Museum of Art. Housing Tibetan and Himlayan Art from the collection of Donald and Shelley Rubin, the museum is to open on May 22 at 150 West 17th Street in Chelsea. Ms. Smith has worked previously in the department of Asian art at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, at the Asia Society, with the Mr. and Mrs. John D. Rockefeller III Collection and for the last six years as a senior curator at the San Diego Museum of Art.
MISS AMERICA: NEW FACE -- Grappling with declining television ratings and dwindling assets, the Miss America Organization, which posted a $1.4 million loss in 2002, has appointed a new leader for the fourth time in five years, The Associated Press reported. Art McMaster, 50, previously the vice president for finance, has been named acting president and chief executive. He succeeds George F. Bauer, the chief executive who left after two years when his contract expired on Dec. 31.

Car and Carriage Museum
The Car and Carriage Museum is temporarily closed for construction for a period that is anticipated to last no longer than 18 months. During the temporary closure, the cars and carriages in the collection will be moved to secure off-site storage for the duration of construction.
The future expanded Car and Carriage Museum will allow the Frick to display a greater selection of the core collection of Frick family carriages. Increased gallery space will also allow for an integrated display of carriages and cars to reflect the overlap between the beginning of the automobile era and the end of the horse and carriage. The renovation also includes on-site climate-controlled collections storage and a car lift to make it easier to move vehicles on and off display. More space, higher ceilings, and improved lighting will improve the experience for both visitors and vehicles.
After the turn of the 20th century, the development of the automobile profoundly changed American life. In the Car and Carriage Museum, visitors can travel back to the time of carriages, see some of the first horseless carriages to have an impact on Pittsburgh and learn about Pittsburgh's role in the developing automobile industry..
The original "carriage house" portion of the Car and Carriage Museum was used to store the collection of carriages and antique cars that Helen Clay Frick brought to Pittsburgh. The building was expanded in 1997 to accommodate the addition of automobiles from the collection of G. Whitney Snyder (1921-1999).
Henry Clay Frick's 1914 Rolls Royce Silver Ghost touring car and Howard Heinz's 1898 Panhard (reputed to be the first car in Pittsburgh) are both on view, along with more than 20 vintage automobiles that illustrate the story of Pittsburgh's place in automotive history.
An award-winning video, Pittsburgh and the Automobile, alternates throughout the day with a short film, The Stanley Steamer. Through archival film, original footage and interviews, visitors are taken on a humorous and fascinating ride through the early years of automotive history.
Some of the cars and carriages in our collection* include:
|c. 1882 Brougham
c. 1897 Pony-size Spider Phaeton
1898 Panhard et Levassor Tonneau
1903 Baker Electric Stanhope
c. 1903 Country Omnibus
1906 Outing Wagon
1909 Bailey Electric Phaeton
1909 Keystone Six-Sixty Roadster

Tablon, Cugman folks benefit from mangroves-A A +A
Thursday, May 1, 2014
RESIDENTS in barangays Tablon and Cugman, with the help of students, have taken the initiative to protect themselves from future catastrophes by planting mangroves in the villages' coastal areas.
"Adtong (storm) Sendong, dili na matugkad ang tubig diri sa amoa, unsa nalang kaha kung wala ang mga mangyum (mangrove)?" said Esterlita Saballero, 61, of Purok 13, Barangay Tablon, who's been living in the areas since 1992.
Remembering the past calamities brought by storms, Saballero told Sun.Star Cagayan de Oro that in the past years, they planted mangroves before Sendong struck and devastated most of the city's coastal areas.
The mangroves that they planted are now big.
"Gina-protektahan mi sa mga mangyum," she said adding that without the mangroves, the whole of neighborhood in Purok 13 would have been washed away by the storm.
During the storm, there were five houses in front of Saballero's house that were washed away, she said.
Selling grilled meat (barbecue) as her source of income, Saballero is striving to make both ends meet, for the sake of her granddaughter who will be a second-grader this coming school year.
Saballero thanked the people who planted new batch of mangrove seedlings.
"(Mangroves) maka-sagang sa baybay, ug gapalig-on sa yuta, pabalik pa sa mga isda (can protect the shore, strengthen the soil and bring back the fish)," she said.
Purok 13, Tablon is the boundary between Tablon and Cugman.
As a response of recent disastrous floods in the city, students enrolled in the Ecology class of Liceo de Cagayan University (LDCU) conducted a mangrove planting along the coastline in Zone 1, Cugman, which is just beside Purok 13 where Saballero is residing.
The students, who planted over 500 mangrove seedlings, is headed by their teacher, Dr. Lesley Casas Lubos, research director of the Liceo Mindanao Center for Biodiversity and Conservation Research and Publication Office and also the President of Biology Teachers Association (BIOTA)-LDCU chapter.
"It feels overwhelming to plant because we get to give back to the environment and contribute to protection and conservation to coastal areas," Lubos said.
The group chose mangroves since it is a specialized kind of species of plant that can withstand loamy and watery soil as its foundation.
Mangroves are the habitat and breeding ground of many kinds of fish. It also helps to protect the people against floods and soil erosion in the coastal areas of the city.
"As long as there is water, mangroves will survive," Dr. Lubos said.
Planting mangroves has economic and ecological values and contribute to the sustainability of aquatic-ecosystems, Lubos added.
Mangroves purify the water from human waste and pollutants, he said.
"We expect that mapuslan sa mananagat (this is beneficial to fishermen), a buffer zone for the houses and for fish re-spawning," said Cirilo Pimentel Jr., team leader and fishery coordinator who also helped with the planting.
A buffer zone is created to improve the protection of areas for nature conservation and their importance to biodiversity, Pimentel said.
Irenea Dauba, 47, a resident of Zone 1, said, "makatabang gyud siya (planting mangroves) sa pagsagang sa baha."
Dauba is the caretaker of AJ Land for 16 years, a private property owned by Ala Rico Lim.
She remembered that during Sendong, the flood passed through the Zone 1 as it exited to the sea and brought debris from neighboring houses.
"Adtong (typhoon) Pablo, wala kay mi na-apektuhan, tungod sa mga mangrove," Dauba added.
Nathan Hart Bona, one of the students of LDCU and the one who coordinated this project, coordinated with Cagayan de Oro City Local Environmental and Natural Resources (Clenro) for the mangrove seedlings.
The students were happy to contribute to the conservation of the environment and protection of the people living in the coastal areas and also the aquatic-ecosystem.
"Nakatabang na, nag-enjoy pa gyud mi," the students said in chorus.
The group will continue to plant mangroves throughout the coastal areas of the city.
The next schedule of the mangrove planting will be held at Barangay Bonbon on May 14-16 with an estimated area of five hectares. (Lynyrd Alexsei N. Corrales/XU DevCom Intern)

Pampering skin is an utmost requirement for a healthy and younger looking skin. Ofcourse getting professional facial is always a good move but its quite heavy on pocket. So why not go for home facials. Try it atleast once every week and it goes well with all types of skin – oily, dry and combination. Home facial is a great way to make your skin glow and younger looking for years and years. If you really want to take care of your skin for cheap then keep reading.
The first step towards attaining good skin is cleansing. Always clean your skin with the help of a good cleanser to remove the dirt that gets stuck to skin and in skin pores. Don't go to bed ever with your makeup on, clean it with the help of makeup removers. There are a range of known brands available in the market offering makeup removers, choose the one that suits your skin the best.
The next most important part of skin care regime is exfoliation. Take facial scrub and squeeze a little amount on your palm. Using your fingers, gently rub the content in a circular motion on your face. Focus more on the areas around your nose and forehead. In case you have combo skin type, concentrate more on greasy or oily areas. Once exfoliation is complete, remove the facial scrub with luke warm water. For glowing and clear complexion, always remember to use the exfoliating scrub of a good brand that is not too harsh on your skin and does the work perfectly!
The third step you need to follow in order to get the glowing skin is use of steam. It is essential to take steam to open pores and remove impurities. There are many ways by which you can give steam to your face. Fill a container with warm water, dip the wash cloth and press it close to your face. Repeat it twice or thrice as it suits. You can also use teapot- boil water and allow it to cool a little bit and take steam directly on to your face for glowing and clear complexion.
Depending on your skin type you can choose different type of masks. Just as a rule of thumb – for oily skin, use a clay-based face mask and for dry skin, go with a hydrating gel or cream mask. Apply the mask, avoiding the areas around the eyes. Keep it on for 10-20 minutes (or according to the directions on the product). Rinse completely & Taddaaa….you have a fresh and radiant look!
For soft and smooth skin, apply basic moisturizer over your face and neck. You can shop for different brands depending on your skin type and requirements. You can also take herbal route or use home-based products, such as coconut milk or milk cream as natural moisturizers.
Follow this guide and say a big hello to a baby soft, healthy and glowing skin.

But BMX biking apparently doesn't qualify. Last week, the City Council deadlocked 3-3 on an idea to have the Parks and Recreation Commission consider developing a new BMX park here, sending Mayor Margaret Abe-Koga's proposal down the tubes, for now.
The inaction (a tie vote equals a defeat) was a shame, and in our opinion the city should feel somewhat responsible for helping the BMX bikers out due to the unceremonious way it bulldozed an ad-hoc park on Stevens Creek Trail last August. Local riders had built this tiny outlaw spot on their own and had been safely using it for at least 20 years. But fear of injuries and liability finally convinced the city that the park, which was located on city property, had to go.
Certainly the city is right to be concerned about liability, and the need for oversight and maintenance, if a park were to be built. By one estimate, a BMX park would cost about $400,000 an acre and $70,000 a year to maintain, according to a September report by parks section manager Jack Smith. This seems like a needlessly high estimate, and far more than the $60,000 set aside for a BMX park by the council in 2007.
But Abe-Koga's proposal would have merely sent the idea to the Parks and Recreation Commission. Such a perusal would have cost nothing, and no action could be taken until the council considered the measure again, probably in the next six months or so.
The city does have some potential sites for a park picked out. One, preferred by staff members, would use a parcel at North Road just east of the city's dog park at Shoreline. Another possible location is the Crittenden overflow basin, located next to the North Road parcel, which was a recommended site years ago. Council member Mike Kasperzak has also suggested a meadow made accessible by the recent extension of the Stevens Creek Trail south of El Camino Real.
Currently, however, site selection is a moot point. Without four votes, the idea for even studying a new BMX park is dead in the water. We hope that fourth vote can be found. In the meantime, BMX enthusiasts would do well to put the past behind them and work directly with the city on creating a new park somewhere in Mountain View.

October 7, 2015
Nebraska is seeing a steady increase in voters who are shunning both political parties and registering as independents.
The growth comes as the number of Republican and Democratic voters has declined since the 2008 election.
More than 227,000 voters are now registered as a "nonpartisan," a 16 percent increase since the last presidential election. Registrations overall have risen in each election year over the last decade.
Democratic activists say the growth in independent voters reflects a willingness to look beyond party labels in the overwhelmingly conservative state. Republicans say most of those independents are still likely to support GOP candidates.
University of Nebraska at Omaha political science professor Paul Landow says the shift reflects a national frustration with traditional party politics.

A recent survey on tourism found that optimism is growing among Thousand Islands area businesses.
Of the 170 usable responses from U.S. and Canadian business owners gathered by the 100 Islands Tourism Council, 65 percent predicted that the tourism industry would improve over the next five years and only 8 percent said they anticipated a decline.
Last year, 47 percent of responders predicted an improvement, 36 percent said they believed things would remain status quo and 12 percent had a negative outlook on growth in the Thousand Islands.
Gary S. DeYoung, executive director of the 1000 Islands International Tourism Council, said he thinks people are noticing a lot of development proposed along the river and becoming more optimistic about the regions future.
In almost every town, theres a neat thing moving forward, he said in reference to Krog Corp.s $26 million hotel development in Clayton, Brockvilles Aquatarium and many other projects proposed in the Thousand Islands region.
Low water levels and high gas prices largely drew negative comments from area business owners, but 77 percent responded that the dry and sunny summer weather had a positive impact on the regions tourism.
Other than that, Mr. DeYoung said, the region had pretty normal year with the overall satisfaction rate remaining the same as last year at 80 percent.
The full survey report is available online at the 1000 Islands Tourism Councils website: www.ticouncil.com.

Is Your Home 100% Smoke Free?
Maine, like many other states since the early 90s, has come a long way in having smoke free homes.
Maine, like many other states since the early 90s, has come a long way in having smoke free homes.
Here's something that came up this weekend. Me and Alexis, my 12-year old, went out to eat. I don't think the location matters, because I really don't want to single somebody out, because I think it's a larger question...
Isn't it great when our purple friend can get through to the kids warning them about the pitfalls of life? Unlike parents, children actually listen to Barney. The world IS a scary place...let Barney make things easier to understand!
Yesterday in the mail I received a glossy folder from Skoal and inside were coupons. I have never once dipped and certainly never signed up for chewing tobacco coupons.
Maine slips from a 'B' to a 'D' in the tobacco-use report card. More and more services are being cut and people are having to use their own resources to quit smoking. Plus, there is now a lower tax than many other states. Those are the primary reasons for the slide.
So far eight weeks not smoking and still going. It's been two months this Wednesday, not to get ahead of myself. I'm still chewing the 2mg gum and no real desire to start smoking again.
It will now be illegal to light up a cigarette while waiting for your kids to get on a bus in Augusta. That was the outcome of a vote Thursday night from the Augusta City Council. City Councilor Dan Emery proposed the change after he received an email from parents of two children affected by an adult smoking at their bus stop.
Smokers' rights could be at risk once again: a medical expert is currently advocating for some drastic regulations that would make it mandatory for all smokers to obtain a smoking license.
The Augusta city council will consider a proposal to amend a 'no-smoking' ordinance enacted this past January to include bus stops. The ordinance already bans smoking and all other forms of tobacco use at city parks, playgrounds, athletic fields, schools and most other city and school properties.
As the surgeon general helpfully details on every pack of cigarettes, there are many health problems associated with smoking. But here's a new one: Smoking can cause restless nights...

Worst: Finally, We Get To See John Cena Pin Dolph Ziggler Again
I wrote this bit, about John Cena having to get the win over Ziggler with two people helping him at ringside, in last week's Best And Worst:
I feel like Cena could've just wrestle and defeat Dolph repeatedly without having to have the odds stacked against him every week. Before TLC, it wasn't just "Dolph vs. Cena, who is better," it was "Dolph vs. Cena but Cena's leg is hurt and he's worried about his girlfriend and has too much on his mind." Cena only lost at TLC because of an extraneous, Cena-related happenstance. Dolph didn't do shit. Now it's not "Cena vs. Dolph, so Cena can get his revenge," it's Cena vs. Dolph and AJ and Big E Langston, and they're doing ref bumps that don't effect the end of the match just to do them and on and on. It's not even like they're stacking the odds to give John something to slowly overcome. If he had to beat Langston to get to Dolph or whatever that'd be fine. Basic wrestling storytelling. Instead, he's just beating them all at once immediately, because RESOLVE. And now he's moving on to the Royal Rumble, which he probably won't win because of Dolph + X, followed by four consecutive Raws of him beating up Dolph to get revenge.
Just have normal odds, John, it's fine.
This week, John Cena and Dolph Ziggler wrestle AGAIN, only THIS time Ziggler's got two people helping him at ringside AND the match is in a steel cage. That means the finishers escalate (stuff like Ziggler's jumping DDT falsie becomes a JUMP TO THE TOP ROPE AND MURDER YOU thing), Cena can't escape the cage because Big E Langston's waiting there to hold him off the ground or hit him with a chair, and any attempt to escape through the door gets Cena a cage door to the head. That all happens, too … Langston smashes a cage door into his head, Ziggler throws everything he's got at him (including a crisp, right-in-the-middle-of-the-ring Zig Zag) and Cena falls off the top rope for some reason like 15 times, and guess what? Every single time he POPS UP LIKE NOTHING HAS HAPPENED and hits his moves in response.
It is THE MOST INFURIATING THING. As a few of you mentioned, even 1980s Hulk Hogan wasn't this hard to beat. The fact that Cena's inconsistent selling leaves us to assume that he feels no pain and can just do his moves to you whenever he wants, which takes the drama out of Cena's matches, and you have to wait until somebody's actually been pinned to go back and see if the match had value, or if it was another masturbatory John Cena waste of time. There is NO REASON why Dolph Ziggler should ALWAYS LOSE. As much as it loves "I hate Mondays," even f**king Garfield changes the punchline to "lasagna is great" every few days. STOP DOING THIS.
Worst, But Whatever: The Rock Concert
Oh, hey, that was a pretty well-timed "stop it."
All right, so, I assume most of you come to my Rock's Around columns and skip to this page to read my long-winded thing about how he's casually cruel to women and perpetuates stupidity in a fandom desperately in need of smart, positive, not-going-to-die-from-drugs role models, and I'll be honest, I like writing about that. I think every time a company as big and powerful as WWE steps on us, we should scream loud enough for them to hear us. If it "doesn't matter" and is "just entertainment," we can say "try doing it another way."
But yeah, f**k the f**king Rock Concert.
I had to write about this shit last year, and as bad as it was — and as pointless as it was for him to devote an entire song to calling a woman a bitch for lulz — it wasn't as bad as that one. The one back in March featured a "We Will Rock You" parody and song lyrics on the Titantron and photoshop jokes about how John Cena looks like Tinky Winky and Vanilla Ice had a baby. Last night, Rock said Paul Heyman had tits and called Vickie Guerrero ugly. It's the worst thing they could be doing with their time and the dude should be ashamed of himself, but … yeah, I don't know, maybe they've just beaten me into indifference.
I WILL say that when Rock brought out Vickie Guerrero and said he was gonna cover Eric Clapton, I hoped he was going to do a "Tears In Heaven" thing about Eddie. Or maybe "Cocaine," because he's on a shit-ton of drugs. And whether or not you thought the "just entertainment" was hilarious, I urge you to remember that the guy insulting non-athlete Paul Heyman for having "Twinkie Tits" once had to wrestle in a shirt for a few months because he had gynecomastia surgery to make his pecs look less like boobs.
Anyway, for a more spirited response than "you're a baby-talking hypocrite, stop trying to be funny," go over to The Wrestling Blog RIGHT NOW and read Best And Worst Of Impact's Danielle Matheson's piece about how the Rock has made her feel like a piece of shit for her entire life.
Worst, But Not As Worst: Part 2 Of This Whole Thing
I guess we don't have a lot of time left to build a story, but I don't buy Punk and Rock being so mad at each other they have to have a pull-apart. It didn't seem organic. It was just, "okay, now we have a pull-apart." Punk waited patiently through two parody songs and a Rock rebuttal before being "so mad" he couldn't respond? Come on. Rock had a Jeff Jarrett style guitar shot coming to him.
And you know what? That last shot of the Rock squinting from the ramp as WWE types held CM Punk back was pretty much the WWE's "eyes of Dr T.J. Eckleberg" billboard.

You know, I just wanna say how much I respect Vickie Guerrero. She's come a long way from where she started, she's obviously worked hard to lose weight and it's totally understandable that she might put that weight on after the death of her husband. So f**k you and your shitty jokes Rocky, Lawler and WWE writers.
That'll teach Vickie to have a husband who dies.
I've got a feeling Rock is on a really bad diet and that's why everything is a reference to candy & junk food.
See you guys next week, when I'm a little bit older.
