To Kill A Mockingbird
adapted by Christopher Sergel
based upon the novel by Harper Lee
directed by John Miller-Stephany
Set in Maycomb, Alabama, in 1935, this timeless story based on Harper Lee's beloved Pulitzer Prize-winning novel is a memory play told through the eyes of Scout, the fiercely independent daughter of Atticus Finch. The town is abuzz with the upcoming trial of Tom Robinson, an African American man accused of raping a white woman. While Finch, the white lawyer assigned to defend Tom, refuses to compromise his ideals in the face of mounting community pressure, Scout learns about tolerance and acceptance even as racial tensions threaten to tear the town apart.
Join us for a thoughtful exploration of where Lee's story sits in the arc of racial politics in our country, and experience this cherished classic on stage alongside conversation in the community about her sequel, Go Set a Watchman.

I ordered a $1,300 dinette online and had it shipped to my home in Georgia. The when I opened the table top box to assemble the table the edge of the table top was crushed, even though the carton was in good shape. Apparently the damage was from rough handling during shipment. I immediately telephoned Dinette Gallery and e-mailed in photographs of the damage as they requested. To make a long story short, Dinette Gallery will not replace the damaged top. They said that because I signed for the delivery they had no responsibility and the problem is mine, even though it was hidden damage.

Think of 1970s New York as a precursor to today's Detroit. Not until Rudy Giuliani, did a leader respond to the flashing Bat signal above a great city in deep distress.
Here's hoping New York's next mayor will have learned from that dreary history, but Bill de Blasio's campaign offered little but the old, worn-out slogans of the left. He came across as an Occupy Wall Street type, if better dressed. Utopian slogans have this way of producing only a dystopian reality. His election does not bode well, but New Yorkers are a hardy type and can survive even progressives.
The most hopeful election returns -- who'd a-thought it a few years back? -- came out of New Jersey, where Chris Christie won re-election as governor of New Jersey by the even more than expected landslide, and came out sounding like a presidential candidate in 2016. As an up-and-coming national figure, he exerts the peculiar charm of Tony Soprano combined with the rarest of abilities these days: He seems to know how to make government work.
Having overdosed on ideology, Americans would be delighted to settle for just plain competence. With maybe a dash of Fiorello LaGuardia on top. Imagine: balanced budgets, bipartisan teamwork, unity and efficiency in a crisis (as when Hurricane Sandy hit), all combined with the tough-guy appeal of a denizen of Joisey.
He's quite a character, this Christie -- a politician less devoted to high-flown rhetoric than just getting things done day after gritty day. Yet he seems to have a real zest for politics and life, for both campaigning and governing. In an era when so many Americans have grown disillusioned and cynical, Chris Christie still practices politics with gusto. The man seems to think it's fun. Some of us have missed that spirit.
It'll be interesting to see how the Chris Christie Show goes over once he leaves the East Coast and heads into the Republican heartland, into Rand Paul and Ted Cruz country. Can he win hearts-and-minds there the way Dwight Eisenhower once won over diehard fans of Robert A. Taft?
It's possible, especially if the right wing of the party proves as foresighted as Sen. Taft did in 1952. Convinced he'd been cheated out of the GOP's presidential nomination that year, and with some grounds for that conviction, Mr. Republican nevertheless went all-out for his former rival. He campaigned for Ike in 20 different states in the Midwest and West, rallying his sullen supporters till, they, too, would like Ike. He even tried (unsuccessfully) to get the imperious Douglas MacArthur to endorse Eisenhower that year. Caesars do not always take well to less pretentious successors.
It all worked out, as things in America will. Ike swept the presidential election, polling 55 percent of the popular vote, carrying all but nine states, and winning with 442 electoral votes to Adlai Stevenson's 89. And a fractured GOP emerged united and upbeat. There's nothing like the prospect of political victory to sweep aside ideological differences within a party.
In 1952, the country was even more deeply divided than it is today, and Americans were ready for peace, prosperity and a spell of good will -- which is just what Ike delivered. But by the fall of 1958, the GOP was in trouble again. The not so Grand Old Party was swamped in the congressional elections of that year, foretelling its defeat in the coming presidential contest of 1960.
It was at that low point in Republican fortunes that an aging prophet named Whittaker Chambers happened upon the perfect metaphor for the kind of true believers who would rather lose than win by compromising their most cherished obsessions in any way. In the dying autumn of that year, old Whittaker Chambers penned this still relevant diagnosis and warning in a letter to a promising young conservative editor named William F. Buckley:
"If the Republican Party cannot get some grip of the actual world we live in, and from it generalize and actively promote a program that means something to masses of people -- why, somebody else will. There will be nothing to argue. The voters will simply vote Republicans into singularity. The Republican Party will become like one of those dark little shops which apparently never sell anything. If, for any reason, you go in, you find, at the back, an old man, fingering for his own pleasure some oddments of cloth. Nobody wants to buy them, which is fine because the old man is not really interested in selling. He just likes to hold and to feel."
Whittaker Chambers could be writing today in the dismal aftermath of the not so Great Government Shutdown of 2013.
For the moment, GOP fortunes have been saved by the unraveling travesty called Obamacare, but the party cannot hope to regain its old strength solely on basis of the opposition's weakness. It must offer a positive alternative of its own, one that means something to the great majority of the American people. But are Republicans listening?

Exploring the Raspberry Pi through real-world projects
Raspberry Pi is obviously not a desktop system. If using the terminal seems too strange and cryptic to you, you should start with the desktop and work your way to the command line gradually.
From its very conception, the RasPi was conceived as an energy-efficient PC for multimedia applications, and it is clearly intended for use as an embedded system. The hardware is ideally suited for use as a server or process computer, or for controlling tasks in hobby projects that are not too power hungry. The configuration makes it possible to connect necessary peripherals, and the header practically begs you to put together additional features to suit your own needs. A specialized Linux distributions will help make the first steps easier for novices.
The developers have achieved their original goal of making computer technology tangible for interested – and especially young – people. The winter and school year are in their most difficult phases; for the next project in your basement, Raspberry Pi receives our warmest recommendations.

Pls let us understand each other n b happy. I wll continue my sallah till i die, u go ur church. Is dat all. Tanx
I don't actually understand why some of those Christian societies would go through such length to make a word which is almost exclusive to Muslims as one of their own....
What are they actually trying to accomplish? Besides discord?
No other muslim communities had claimed exclusive rights to the Arabic word for God since this word predates the muslim religion and also used by Arabic Christians in Arabic bible. In Malaysia this word allah is used in malay bible since 1612 for malay-speaking Christians (and also Indonesian-speaking Christians) and had predate the formation of Malaysia and the official status of the Malay language. However some local muslim leaders claimed now they are confused that this Arabic word for God as used in the Koran is used by non-muslims alike and hence passed state law to prevent its usage by local malay-speaking non-muslims.

The good, the bad and the so-so policy moves and economic swings that impacted Indonesia this week.
The head of one of Indonesia's largest investment companies, Peter Sondakh says he's selling off stakes in his palm oil plantation in the hope of moving toward processing, refining and trading.

All that burning rubbish in Indonesia may be taking its toll, with nearly a quarter of people surveyed in a recent poll saying waste management was the most prominent environmental issue in the country.
Indonesia needs to build up its power and transportation capacity to create jobs and grow the economy in the coming years – and it's relying on a lot of foreign investment to do so.

C'est mal, donc je ne le fais pas, mais si c'était free, je te piquerais tous des design XDD
It's unfair how good you are!
I would love to see your designs come to life!!!
Love the right one would wear it
Unique and stunning! I love the colors as well!
Holy......... Artist, back up from your computer and take a bow.
Why is the back view of the left model not equivalent to the front view? I mean, the front view has these.. long, cape thing that drapes down and covers the legs behind.
So the back view should have the long cape thingy that covers the legs. Did you erase that to give us a better back view or was it just a little mistake?
I must sound confusing...
I tend not to draw cape and such on back view or there would only be a cape and you wouldn't be able to see the clothes under it
Lovely designs.
You have very beautiful designs
Nice, I love these outfits! Wish I could come up with good designs... o__o
oh wow, the left one is inspiring me to make a Karma (League of Legends) fan skin thingy... I may borrow some ideas and tag you if I ever make it
Hmm The first one reminds me to a dancer dress Anyway, nice work

omg love it, they are soooo cute xD
---E aha! this is helpful! I needed reference for characters that wear heels! Thank you!

Squeeeee~ Awesome! <3
I personally think that the design on the left would make a nice Geomancer dressphere for Final Fantasy X-2.
I really do like the small details you put into your designs; they are lovely

This page is expanded from a column by David Stern, MD, CPC in the Journal of Urgent Care Medicine, June 2007
Q. When a physician performs an intravenous injection, can we bill for an E/M code as well?
A. Before you give an intravenous injection to a patient, you must evaluate and diagnose the patient. It would seem obvious to expect compensation for the evaluation and management of the patient in this situation. Medicare, however, did not reimburse for a separate E/M code (99201- 99205, 99212-99215) during the same patient visit as an IV drug administration until 2006. The Medicare Claims Processing Manual now reads: "Medicare will pay for medically necessary office/outpatient visits billed on the same day as a drug administration service with modifier -25 when the modifier indicates that a separately identifiable evaluation and management (E/M) service was performed that meets a higher complexity level of care than a service represented by CPT code 99211….For an E/M service provided on the same day, a different diagnosis is not required."
For example, when a patient presents with a migraine headache and the physician determines that the best treatment is an intravenous injection of prochlorperazine, you should code an E/M code with modifier -25. An E/M code can be properly billed in this situation because the physician had to evaluate the patient in order to conclude that the patient is suffering from a migraine headache, not some other more serious problem (for example: a brain tumor, intracranial hemorrhage, or meningitis).
Note: It is a common misconception that two diagnoses are needed to use modifier -25. According to both Medicare and CPT rules, a separate diagnosis is unnecessary. Although there is only one diagnosis of migraine headache (ICD-9 = 346.00), it is appropriate to bill both for the therapeutic injection and the physician's evaluation of the patient.
Q. The same patient returns and receives an IV injection – should we use an E/M code?
A. Not always. Here are two situations where you should not bill an E/M code:
- The patient calls the physician, notifying him that the migraine headache has returned. The physician instructs the patient to come into the clinic and receive another prochlorperazine injection from a nurse.
- The patient simply returns to the urgent care center since the headache has returned, and a nurse administers another prochlorperazine injection. The physician makes no personal contact with the patient.
Q. Could we code with 99211, since the nurse is evaluating and managing the patient?
A. What you are asking makes sense, but Medicare does not reimburse for this code (99211) when submitted along with an intravenous injection code. Prior to 2006, many private payors reimbursed for code 99211 on the same day of an injection, but very few private payors still reimburse for this code combination. Even if the nurse in the above two scenarios documents the patient's vital signs and makes a notation that the patient states that this is a "typical migraine headache," this is not sufficient for E/M code 99211.
Q. Are there any occasions when we could use an E/M code for a repeat IV injection on a follow-up visit?
A. Since work values are now bundled into drug administration codes, there must be a truly separate evaluation and management for an E/M code to be appropriate. In order to use an E/M code, the physician must personally examine the patient, re-evaluating his condition. The evaluation and management cannot be merely incidental to the procedure. Here are some scenarios for which it would be appropriate to bill an E/M code in addition to the intravenous injection procedure code on a follow-up visit:
- A patient treated for a migraine with a prochlorperazine injection returns to the clinic on the following day, complaining that his headache is much worse than before the first injection. The physician evaluates the patient to see if the patient is suffering from a more serious problem than was previously evident. Finding nothing more than a migraine, the doctor orders another IV injection. Billing an E/M code as well as the injection procedure code would be appropriate.
- A patient returns to a clinic to recheck the condition of her cellulitis. The physician takes an interval history, records vital signs, examines the area of cellulitis, and determines that a repeat antibiotic injection is indicated. An E/M code (with modifier -25) along with the code for the antibiotic injection would be appropriate.

Destroy all furries!
For everyone that likes Warhammer 40k Tabletop and Dawn of War Games or anything to do with Warhammer 40K.
Destroy all furries!
so many memes implied here. :|
i hate 4chan.. but i hate furries more!
sad faece
You know, you all can go frak yourselves in the most literal terms. With a Broom Stick, on your mother's bed for all I care. I cannot understand, how an outcast group such as gamers, can be so spiteful as to also hate another outcast group known as Furries. You all make no sense and I hope someone puts the flame to you all.
Thank you for being practical

I like drawing simply because it's such a unique pastime. Drawing is limitless and that's why, I think, I'm so drawn to it. I don't pretend to be great at drawing, or even good, I just like the hard work and, sometimes, pain that comes w/ it.

That's awesome! If i had to pick a favourite rendition of each character I would say I like Robaato's version of Power Girl, Chamba's version of Brainiac and Kizer's version of Mai Shiranui.
I like this, very nice!

I love these Jams.
I really dig seeing the art jams you do with other people. Its always cool to see multiple perspectives on the same characters. BTW, I really like all 3 versions of each character.
Its always cool to see different interpretations of a character.

Doesn't look too comfortable!
Hmmm, looks like four lowers in there. I guess you'd need an FFL if you were going to buy it.
April 14, 2008, 06:48 AM
Some "prohibited person" (notice it's never prohibited CITIZEN) with terminal cancer needs to buy that and bug them until they come after him. :neener:
April 14, 2008, 09:03 AM
Unless they were dewatted.
Sato Ord
April 14, 2008, 09:08 AM
Short answer, No.
Although I did at one time have three bar stools made from howitzer recoil springs.
April 14, 2008, 10:45 AM
yes thats sick i was thinking of making displays with airsoft guns.
where'd you find this? they have ak table type lights similar to this.
April 14, 2008, 10:51 AM
no. Plus I doubt you could sit on it. It looks like it was made just for looks.
April 14, 2008, 11:00 AM
Heck no.
April 14, 2008, 11:13 AM
I'd take it if it was given to me. I think it's a nice work of art, and someone with a lot of creativity put some time into it.
Buy would I buy it? No. I'd rather have all 4 rifles working, thankyou.
ETA: Although, if I had money to burn, I'd buy it (assuming the rifles were still functioning), and convert it to look like a real chair. Cardboard ubes over the barrel-legs, paint it, upholster it, cover the back somehow, put a nice cushion in the seat, etc.. make it look like a real, nondescript chair.
Then, when "they" come for our guns, they'll never suspect the chair actually housed 4 ar-15s.
April 14, 2008, 12:10 PM
Isn't that one of those "peace art" things?
BattleChimp Potemkin
April 14, 2008, 12:13 PM
BTW, the profits from art like this is usually sent to the UN, to support de-weaponization programs of thirdworld (and coming soon! USA) countries. Can be a good or bad thing, up to you.

Sounds appropriate, since sitting in that chair looks like it would be a pain in the rear.
April 14, 2008, 12:19 PM
Are those actually real FA M16 receivers? I can't see it too clearly but they seem to have the stops for the switch to go all the way over to FA...
April 14, 2008, 12:36 PM
i'd only buy it if it all still funtions. if a home intruder came in, you'd never have to think about where your gun is.
April 14, 2008, 01:12 PM
Is the picture named _ak47? that's what it looks like from the general forum page, can't tell inside the thread. More idiot labeling everything with the one name you know. It's black and scary and a gun with the shoulder thing, it's an AK-47!
It's a nasty evil handgun, it's a Glock!
But the chair looks pretty neat, I wouldn't pay for it, since it probably costs way too much, and if it's true that those type of artsy objects made of weapons fund the U.N. and disarmament programs then no way would I ever pay for one. I will not support an organization that wants the U.S. to agree to remove all weapons from the civilian population. If the U.N. wants to take our firearms I wholeheartedly suggest their army come take them.
April 14, 2008, 02:51 PM
that chair needs a disclaimer
No rifles were harmed in the making of this chair!
Deer Hunter
April 14, 2008, 02:57 PM
I would NOT buy this. Wanna know why?
They don't know their ARs from their AKs!
April 14, 2008, 08:06 PM
honest officer....the chair just "went off"!!
April 15, 2008, 04:01 AM
Guns are for shootin, not sittin on.
April 15, 2008, 09:17 AM
That chair was made from "rubber ducks" by the looks of it. Fake M16's made with rubberized plastic all around, and metal barrels for training. You can tell by the selector switches. See how their all in the "semi" position? Also, no bolt release. Thats a dead give-away. You have to carry and train with those effers you get to know them pretty well.
April 15, 2008, 09:27 AM
Thoese are not real they are rubber ducks. Training m-16 used for basi training.
I still would not buy it it looks stupid to me. I would much rather have something that looked good as well as was functional. Sitting on a selector is not my idea of fun. Now if each one of them was duracoated a differnt color like pink green orange and so on and so forth. I might buy it.

Enchanting Siquijor: 2 day Itinerary and Travel guide
June 2014
Me and two of my friens flew from Manila to Dumaguete. From Dumaguete we hired a tricycle going to the port where we took a ferry to Siquijor. After checking in at the hotel, we went sight seeing straight away.
We stayed at the beautiful Villa Marmarine.
We only have half day for sight seeing that day. We started by going to this view point where you can see the beautiful Siquijor island.
Top view of Siquijor, excuse my selfie hehe:
We went to a tourism office where we hired guides for Cantabon Caves. The cave was pretty challenging too but not as much as Sagada's. Here are some photos:
What's really cool about this cave is there are pools inside.
There's even a shower too!
As far as I remember we spent 3-4 hours inside the cave. I've torn my leggings but meh, I love this cave!
Next morning, we went to the beach just in front of the Villa Marmarine.
After having breakfast, we went to sight seeing again! First on our list is the century old house:
After that we went to a mangrove sanctuary called Guiwanon Spring park
We spent couple of minutes at mangove sanctuary and after, we went to Salagddoong beach
I really enjoyed Salagdoong specially the small fishes you can see just in the shore. You can also jump on top of the cliff – if you know how to swim. I have never seen a lifeguard there though.
After chilling at Salagdoong and playing with the fishes, we went to St. Isidore Labradore Parish Church and Convent.
And the highlight of the day is…Cambugahay Falls. I love the color of this waterfalls, it is so blue!
The last stop is this balete tree with free foot spa! I mean fish food spa :)
We checked in at another hotel called Coco Grove Hotel where we received a free room upgrade, yey! The whole resort is so big, you can get lost going to your room. Anyway, the only thing I hate here is that there is no wifi and not even a good mobile signal at the rooms. You have to walk and connect to their wifi in the reception, which is such a hassle.
The next morning, we headed back to Dumaguete. It was a lovely trip which includes caving, beach bumming, and sight seeing! Truly a wonderful experience and another must see in the Philippines!
What to do if you only have one day in Sagada
June 2013
Toploading from Bontoc to Sagada! Di pa uso ang selfie stick dati, kaya eto sa inyo!
Only one day in Sagada??? Yeah, me and my friend Ana decided to go to Batad with our new found friend Athena from Taiwan. So the two/three days that we are supposed to spend in Sagada became one day! So what to do in a day? Spelunking! Me and Ana arrived early afternoon in Sagada. After having lunch, we headed to the tourism office where we met couple of other tourists (including Athena who is traveling Philippines alone). They were hiring guide for the 'cave connection' tour (Sumaguing and Lumiang Cave) and we ended up going with them (because of course the more the merrier). Guides are 1 is to 2 tourists, there were 6 of us so we have 3 guides, hooray!
Welcoming us in the cave are these coffins. Don't fret, they're not the hikers! These are the remains of the locals living here. It is called the Burial Cave of Lumiang, the cave is supposed to shelter the remains from the elements.
This is not easy… without the guides, I think I'll be dead inside. Kidding! I really enjoyed rapelling, crawling and swimming inside the caves.
The cave is so beautiful! Here are some photos that my guide took:
When inside the cave, trust your guide. Listen to them, they know what they are doing. Don't be scared. Don't stop believing and don't give up! If I can do it, so can you!
I don't know how long the whole journey took us…maybe 5 hours? I dunno, but I truly enjoyed it! Worth all the pain!
The next day, me and Ana walked around Sagada. We checked out the church and the hanging coffins (from afar):
By 10 am, we were back on the road again en route Batad.
A Paradise Called El Nido
Adventures in the Philippines: Surigao Del Sur
June 2013
My second time in Mindanao (after going to Davao last August 2012 alone). I was contemplating between going to Bucas Grande or Enchanted River. Cost wise, Bucas Grande is a bit expensive for a solo traveler like me, imagine renting a whole boat if there is no one to share with. It is just so happen to that when I posted in couch surfing group in fb that I am going to Butuan City, a guy named Harry Balais replied and he said he also organizes a trip there. His group is coming from Davao. I agreed to join their group.
We agreed to meet up in San Francisco in Surigao. Next morning, they picked me up from the terminal.
Our first stop was Tinuy-An falls – a waterfalls found in Bislig City. This 3-tiered water falls is considered the Niagara falls of the Philippines.
After having lunch in this cool place, we went to the Enchanted River in Talisay, Hinatuan.
No one knows where the water comes from as it is six hundred meters away from coastline of Hinatuan Bay. The water, as you can see from the photos are so blue it looks unreal. You can't see the fishes in these photos but they are really BIG. No one is allowed to swim when they feed the fishes here (which is during 3pm as I remember) for few minutes. This place is one of the most beautiful places I've been to in the Philippines and I recommend everyone to see this at least once in your life.
After staying here for few hours, we went back to the road again, this time going to a resort to spend the night.
The next morning, we went island hopping – Britannia group of islands. You can see more photos here from Harry's website.
First stop is Naked island. Naked because there's no trees, just white sand bar here.
And then other islands such as Buslon, Hiyor-hiyoran, etc.
Who knew these beautiful islands exist in this place? Honestly, I never imagined Surigao would be this beautiful… I was blown away.
We went back to the resort satisfied and happy.
The next day, we went back to the road. Me going to Butuan city and the rest heading back to Davao.
I met so many friends and seen lots of beautiful places in this trip. I was supposed to cancel this trip but glad I never did.
I will write more about Butuan City on the coming days. Thanks for reading!
Shopping and Food Trippin in Osaka
Straight from Takayama, I reached Osaka around 8 pm. I stayed at Hostel Toyo (very cheap btw) which is walking distance from the bus station (of course it took me time getting to the area as I get lost ugh again!!!). After walking around nearby streets, I found a little nice restaurant where I tried plum wine and some deep fried sea food. This is the first time I felt scared walking around alone in Japan. There are few drunkards walking trying to talk to me. Oh well, I still made it to the hostel safe and sound.
Hotel Toyo may not be for you if you want a sound proof room. I literally can hear every footsteps on the corridor and every chit chats from other rooms. The toilet was just as bad. But hey, I'm a cowboy and I get what I paid for, not complaining here! What I love about the hotel though is that the staff are so good in English and would always be there to help you. A staff told me to bring an umbrella because it is going to rain, I ignored his advise so I ended up… soaking wet in the rain :( yeah I know. When a japanese guy tells you to bring umbrella, bring one!!!
The next day, I went shopping at Daiso which was great, I spent 2000 yen on useful stuff. After that, I catched a train ad went food trippin at Dotonburi – the Kitchen of Japan… Okonomiyaki, japanese hot cake (i forgot the japanese term), fried stuff and fruit shake and coffee jellya are some of the food I tried here.
After food trippin, I went to another shopping district called Tenjimbashi-suji Shopping Street – the longest one in Japan. Jeezzzzz the japanese shoes are so adorable!!! I wish I bought lots of them.
It rained so didn't go out and see Himeji castle, I went back to the hostel and checked out. Headed to the airport back to Manila.
The japanese people are so helpful even if they can't speak English, they will still help you! One time I had a chat with a beautiful Japanese woman who asked me where I am from and how old I am. So I told her and she said how brave of me to travel all alone in Japan.
My whole Japan trip is so amazing… it started with my trip to Arashiyama, Kyoto, then Takayama and Shirakawa-go and ended up in Osaka.
Getting lost in Hida Takayama
As part of my trip to Shirakawa-go trip (read story here or here for more photos), I stayed one night in Takayama. The bus trip from Kyoto was part of the tour that I booked in J Hoppers– leaving morning and arriving afternoon in Takayama. The bus is a nice double decker with few stopover during the journey. It would take 5 hours to reach Takayama from Kyoto but as soon as you reach the mountain area, you won't be bored of the things that you will see.
As soon as I reached the Takayama proper, adventure begins with finding the J Hoppers hostel. It was pretty hard that time as there was a Takayama food festival and there are heaps of people.
I asked little japanese students if they know where I should go, one of them speaks english but don't know where my hostel is. Their english teacher came to help but she unfortunately doesn't know the area too well. Luckily, when I was asking a japanese policeman (who also have limited english), a man approached me. He's been to Philippines and was surprised a little girl like me was traveling there alone. To make the long story short, he was able to help me.
Home sweet home! My bed for the night, so lovely!
Upon checking in, I rest for few minutes (my feet was so sore from all the walking) and then came back to where the food festival is, this time hoping not to get lost again lol!
There are small temples in Takayama that I checked out as well.
Carps! Literally there are big carps in this river.
Some Japanese fashionista kawaii girls:
I tried the cherry blossom ice cream which I found really delicious:
I also tried some rice goodies in this really old store:
Some photos of girls dressed up in kimono:
I also checked out the Takayama village where you can find old tradional houses (which was really crowded by tourists and local students by the way).
Wait until 5 or 6 pm and the crowd will clear up… Also, don't be scared to ask someone to take a photo of you.
Takayama is known for its beef – Hida beef and I tried it in one of the restaurants with matching japanese beer.
It has been a tiring day for me and guess what happened to me on my way to hostel? I got lost again! I was supposed to go to a spa but I literally could not walk and called it a day.
Thanks for reading this post! I will make a post about my trip to Osaka in the coming days!
Arashiyama Bamboo Forest and Tenryu-ji Temple
May 23, 2014
My first day in Kyoto, Japan was spent for sight seeing. In this post I will be talking about my experience in Arashiyama and the most beautiful place I've seen in Japan – Bamboo Garden. I will write more about Kyoto in the coming days.
By 6:30am I am already by Kyoto Station. I had a quick breakfast at McDonald's for 200 Yen. Most restaurants in the station aren't open that time of the day so forgive me for eating at fast food chain. I also bought some food and drinks in a convenience store inside Kyoto Station (you can use your ICOCA card).
I rode the JR Sagano Line from Kyoto to Arashiyama, the fare is 210 yen (I use my Icoca card here). If you don't have an ICOCA card, just simply purchase a ticket.
From Arashiyama, I walked around 20 minutes going to the Bamboo Garden. It was hard to find the right route as the signs there are not in English and people barely speak English. Since I do not have Japan simcard and I have no data in my phone, I simply relied on my instict and of course by asking strangers on which way to go. It was a bit of a challenge, I was in Arashiyama and no one seems to understand BAMBOO GARDEN!!! I showed them the photos and these kind Japanese men and women help me using sign language to finally find my way to the Bamboo Forest.
Even though I got lost, I enjoyed walking around the residential area. The smell of the place is really different, it smells like pine trees and flowers, it is so refreshing!
I passed over a nice temple (which I forgot the name, sorry!).
Since it is spring time, expect to see flowers everywhere! Also make sure to bring some anti histamine if you suffer from hay fever.
Nice little pond here.
Better be happy seeing this sign! It means you are so close to the garden!
After 20 minutes of walking around, I found this superb bamboo forest! It is so beautiful, isn't it?
The one kilometer walk is not tiresome especially if you are surrounded by fresh smelling bamboo.
After few minutes of walking, I ended up in Tenryu-ji Temple. If you want to see the temple and its picturesque gardens, pay 500 yen.
Everything is green with envy. This how maple tree looks during spring time!
The most picturesque place I have ever seen in my life is this pond, I wonder how much pretty it would look like during autumn!
If you want to see how the temple looks like inside, pay 100 yen.
Here are some photos in the temple:
It was such a nice experience and at around 10:00 am, I went outside this beautiful temple and check out souvenir shops outside.
After 30 minutes, I decided to leave and ride randen train just in front of the temple. I headed to Ktano-Hakubaicho where I can take a bus to the Golden Temple. Note that you can pay 210 yen or you can use your Icoca card upon exit. I'll write more about the Golden Temple and my adventures in Kyoto in the coming days

2 days in Batad, Ifugao Philippines
Day 0
From Sagada to Batad
We left SAGADA at 10am and headed to Bontoc. At Bontoc, we waited 2 hours until a group of Americans join us in the jeepney. There was no more room inside for 5 of them so I told them to sit in the roof! We arrived at Banaue at 2:45 pm catching the jeep to Batad Saddle point from where we did an hour trip to the village (which supposed to be a 30-min trek. Seeing the amazing BATAD RICE TERRACES took our breaths away. We originally plan to stay at Ramon homestay but found the place a bit overrated so we opted to stay at Batad Pension House where we had a company of French students.
Day 1
Trekking the terraces and Tappiya Falls
Our journey started by trekking the rice terraces. Keeping ourselves balanced and not falling to very steep terraces was a CHALLENGE! I have never been so scared in my life but I must say I WOULD BE HAPPY TO DO IT AGAIN!
Our next destination was the Tappiya falls.The chilling water did not stop us to take a plunge! It was amazing that even you are too far from the falls, you can still feel the mist. After 2 hours we left the falls and head back to the village. We had our lunch at the first hostel in Batad called FOREGINER'S INN where we met a family of French and a co-couchsurfers from USA and China. We head back to the pension feeling amazed by the beauty of the terraces. Although tired, we had rice wine before dinner and shared it with our amigos from Spain!
Day 2
Going back home
It was raining and we are supposed to leave the pension by 7:30 am. We hired 2 porters because we cant afford a 3 hour trek to Saddle point should we carry our own bags. We reached the Saddle point before the 9 am jeep leaves for Banaue.
It was awesome to experience how the people live in the mountains. It is hard to imagine how one can live in a place with no signal but still the people live their lives happily, satisfied with what they have.

The main issue with this novel is how short it is. There could have easily been a few more chapters depicting what happens after two people decide to let go and yield to their emotions. Though this novel may seem incomplete due to its anticlimactic end, the story has the potential to be inspiring. The heroine, a woman who was beaten down emotionally in a past relationship, seeks to create a new life for herself. The ironic part is that both the heroine's downward spiral and her subsequent rise to the top relies on the men in her life. The writer could have done more to show inner growth of the lead female character.
Antonytte "Tony" Mullin is still hurting after her divorce from Rudy. The former cheerleader and former football quarterback were a power couple in high school, but Rudy's controlling nature and his penchant for infidelity led to the end of their marriage. When Tony's best friend renews her wedding vows, Tony is forced to come face to face with members of her graduating class, including David Peterson. The former nerd with glasses and braces has turned into a hot millionaire with eyes only for Tony, just like in high school. Restoring her confidence in men is a challenge, but restoring her confidence in herself proves to be much harder. (SAMHAIN, Mar., 200 pp., $14.00)

President Calvin "Silent Cal" Coolidge, the poster boy for the '20s, was once asked what he thought of his achievements in office. He replied: "Perhaps one of the most important accomplishments of my administration has been minding my own business."
That was the return to normalcy FDR was talking about. A government minding its own business, according to FDR, amounted to the spirit of fascism.
It's not hard to see why so many liberals today take one look at the vast gatherings of decent, middle-class Americans known as tea parties and instantly think "fascists!" Never mind that fascists, properly understood, don't usually demand less government intervention.
What we have here is a fundamental conflict of visions, to borrow a phrase from Thomas Sowell. One side believes that people are born into their station in life and it is the government's job to make their miserable lives a little better. Indeed, it is the natural order of things for the government to provide jobs, health care, homes to the people. If you object to this concept of government, it must be because you want to "punish" the downtrodden and discriminated. You must be animated by racism, sexism, greed, "fascism!"
The other side says that our rights come from God, not from government. That while the government has an obligation to promote the general welfare, it doesn't have a holy writ to design the nation as it sees fit. The Constitution is not a coupon insert in your local paper, brimming with all sorts of giveaways and two-for-one deals. The Constitution and the Bill of Rights delineate what the government cannot do, not what it can. What was so fantastic and revolutionary about that is that for the first time in history, a nation was founded on the proposition that the government should mind its own business. Believing that doesn't make you a fascist, it makes you a patriot.
But the leaders of one America don't see it that way, and probably never will. Which is why, whatever happens in Congress in the coming days and weeks, it will be "two Americas" for a very long time.

Scarlet Nation was on-hand last night at Chelsea Piers for the Fourth Annual Brian Leonard Rally at the Alley.
The event was held to raise money for the Embrace Kids Foundation, a New Brunswick based organization that assists families of children affected by cancer and blood disorders.
Leonard was joined by a host of NFL players, including many of his Rutgers and Bengals teammates.
Scarlet Nation had the privilege of viewing the event through the eyes of Michael Feeney, a New Jersey boy who is courageously battling cancer. We hope you enjoy this photo album that focuses on Michael as he meets many of the players in attendance:

Inkarnation – A Confession Of Faith Coming To Life
The book Inkarnation ($75) features selected premium photography from international top notch photographers. Artists, pin-ups, musicians and people with attitude. No ordinary tattoo stuff from stars to hearts. The Black Edition is covered in jet black leatherette, adorned with an embossed skull, courtesy of star designer Hydro 74.
Dirk Behlau aka The Pixeleye has supervised this passionate confession, The Scary Guy in his foreword puts the philosophy into powerful words. The large scale photographs go beneath the surface and reveal the stars of the book as they really are: models, pin-ups, artists and tattoo artists – simply people who committed themselves entirely to the art of tattooing. INKarnation manages to provide an authentic impression of this creative scene. Dirk Behlau has called together international top photographers and friends, creating an unforgettable book that unmistakably bears his signature.
The story of The Scary Guy, an American motivation trainer who stands up against hatred, violence, prejudice and mobbing in schools and companies worldwide, provides the book's motto. In his foreword he describes his chequered life story from his beginnings as a baby photographer and computer salesperson to an international ambassador of love and acceptance. His name testifies his own philosophy. He defied all stereotyping by others and today he lives with the full acceptance for others, regardless of what they do. That's what INKarnation is about. Do the same, lay back and enjoy the brilliant photographs. ❚

|ESPN.com: Spring 2007
|[Print without images]
|Among pitchers with more than 100 innings pitched in 2006, Ben Sheets led the majors in K/BB ratio (10.55).
When Sheets arrived in Milwaukee's camp two weeks ago, he was throwing nothing but heaters. He lashed out at unnamed teammates who he claims questioned his work ethic when he was slow to recover from shoulder problems last year.
"To me it was ridiculous. It's still ridiculous," Sheets told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. "One thing you learn is how quick people turn their back on you. People write you off in a heartbeat."
Hypersensitive? Perhaps. But as the people in Brewers camp are quick to point out, it's flat wrong to characterize Sheets as some sort of glass man. He averaged 224 innings per season from 2002 through 2004 before the injuries began mounting. Now Sheets knows how it feels to be poked, prodded and publicly dissected a la Mark Prior and Kerry Wood.
It's understandable for the expectations to be high. Sheets has a career record of 61-69, but he plays for a team that's an aggregate 415-556 in that same span. Three years ago Sheets ranked second to Arizona's Randy Johnson in strikeouts and WHIP (walks and hits per innings pitched) and finished eighth in the Cy Young balloting, and he still went 12-14.
"When Benny is dealing, it's hard to describe," said teammate Chris Capuano. "It's like waves keep coming at you. He's relentless out there. The fielders are on their toes, and as fellow pitchers, we're watching pitching the way it's supposed to be done. There's a positive ripple effect on everybody."
The Brewers potentially have one of the strongest rotations in the National League Central. Capuano tied for the major league lead with 25 quality starts last year. Jeff Suppan went 44-26 from 2004 to '06 and has that impressive postseason pedigree. Dave Bush hardly walks anyone but hits plenty of batters -- a testament to his willingness to pitch inside. And Claudio Vargas, acquired from Arizona in the Doug Davis trade, won 12 games for the Diamondbacks.
If Vargas can't cut it, the Brewers have two options: Carlos Villanueva, who was impressive in 10 appearances for Milwaukee a year ago, or Yovani Gallardo, who led the minor leagues with 188 strikeouts. Gallardo has been compared to a young Javier Vazquez, and ranks 16th on Baseball America's list of the game's top prospects.
|Around the desert
• Milwaukee plans to give prospect Ryan Braun a long look at third base this spring. Braun can hit, but the Brewers will probably start him in the minors so he can work on his defense, and go with a Craig Counsell-Tony Graffanino combination at third.
• A couple of American League West teams are dabbling in small ball. Texas manager Ron Washington has made daily "pepper" games part of the schedule so that his players can get a better feel for bat control and moving runners when the Rangers are having trouble generating offense.
It hasn't snowed in the Phoenix area this spring, but Oakland manager Bob Geren actually made his team take part in bunting drills last week. The A's annually rank near the bottom of the majors in sacrifices, and assistant general manager David Forst was hard-pressed to recall the last time an Oakland player bunted for a hit.
"Since Ramon [Hernandez] did it against Boston in the playoffs [in 2003], I can't remember one," Forst said.
• With Dave Roberts gone to San Francisco through free agency, the Padres are scrambling to find a leadoff hitter.
Marcus Giles is a candidate, but he has a career .859 OPS in the No. 2 hole and a .717 OPS at leadoff. The Padres think that Giles' finger injury contributed to his subpar numbers last year, but scouts believe his struggles at leadoff are a result of him seeing fewer fastballs than he does in the second spot. "The guy is a great fastball hitter," said a scout in Arizona.
Manager Bud Black's final alternative is the left-field platoon of Terrmel Sledge and Jose Cruz Jr. It's hard to find anyone who's really excited about that scenario.
• The Mariners are hoping some of their 116-win mojo from 2001 rubs off on the current club. While Seattle's trainers work with Jose Vidro to get his hamstrings in the best possible condition, Edgar Martinez is in Peoria helping Vidro with the mental adjustment of being a designated hitter. Jay Buhner and Dan Wilson, two other Seattle franchise favorites, will be in town to help manager Mike Hargrove and his staff next week.
• The mercurial Jose Guillen, who signed a one-year, $5 million contract with Seattle over the winter, is throwing at about 70 percent of capacity eight months after elbow surgery. He'll be confined to a DH role for most of spring training while Ben Broussard, Jeremy Reed, Mike Morse and others divvy up the right-field at-bats.
Guillen, however, has been impressive in the cage. Hargrove told reporters that Guillen has the "most pure swing" in camp. And after watching Guillen take batting practice, Seattle bench coach John McLaren observed, "He can hit a ball as hard as anybody in the major leagues."
• Kansas City manager Buddy Bell said his son, David, plans to get his back problems addressed this year with an eye toward returning to play in 2008. David Bell went unsigned as a free agent this winter after hitting .270 with 10 homers and 63 RBI for the Phillies and Brewers in 2006. He has an appointment lined up with Dr. Robert Watkins in Los Angeles, and surgery is a possibility.
Ultimately, Sheets will be a pivotal figure if the Brewers are to finally assert themselves in a vulnerable division. General manager Doug Melvin likes what he's seen since that early venting session.
"Ben looks loosey-goosey, and the ball is coming out of his hand real good," Melvin said. "You can tell his thermal gauge by the way he is in the clubhouse. He's always joking around, but he didn't do it last year because the injuries wouldn't allow him to contribute. He was hurt, and he probably felt guilty as hell."
Stewart appeared in 92 games for Minnesota in 2004 and only 44 last year because of his foot issues. The condition was so painful, he kept a bat next to his bed so he could use it as a cane when he got up in the morning.
"I've separated my shoulder," Stewart said. "I've had a hernia injury and a pulled hamstring. This thing is totally different and really frustrating. People say, 'What's wrong with you, man?' But they don't understand. It feels like somebody has a nail and they're hammering it into my foot when I'm walking, or they've got a knife and they're cutting it. It's ridiculous."
Enough teams were scared off by Stewart's health that he had to wait until January to sign a one-year, $1 million deal with Oakland. Now that Bobby Kielty is out three to six weeks with a knee injury and Mark Kotsay's back is acting up, the Athletics might be counting on Stewart more than they planned out of the chute.
During a typical day, Stewart applies both heat and ice to his left foot, has his calves massaged, works a "stretch board," has muscle stimulation and soaks his feet in a whirlpool. At night, he'll dunk his puppies in a tub with some Epsom salts.
"It's a headache, but I like to play," Stewart said. "There are days you don't want to ice. You wish you could just go out there and not worry about it. But this is the road I have to take, and I'm on it."
Ortiz was such a disaster in Arizona, the Diamondbacks released him with more than two years and about $22 million left on his contract. Baltimore picked him up at the urging of Leo Mazzone, who was the pitching coach in Atlanta when Ortiz won 36 games for the Braves in 2003-2004.
Mazzone, who isn't known for film study and breaking down pitching mechanics, dissected Ortiz's motion and found that he was gradually pulling in his elbow and short-arming the ball. Ortiz finished the season with an 0-8 record and an 8.14 ERA.
Ortiz threw more than 30 innings in Puerto Rico over the winter, and he's an early feel-good story in San Francisco's camp. He retired nine straight batters in his Cactus League debut against the Cubs on Thursday, and so far, at least, it appears that his ball has more life on it. Considering the depths to which he sank, anything positive is almost shocking.
"I appreciate Leo so much, to go that extra mile to help me get back to where he knows I can be," Ortiz said. "I'm a big fan of his."
Given the Orioles' typically hideous luck, Ortiz might come back and win 15 games for the Giants.

What I am getting from that article is that possibly Paul's life was taken from the story of this person, Apollonius.
I think this is such an interesting article because it makes us wonder if Paul invented Jesus and christianity based on Apollonius life:
Oh, there's more than that. A lot more. Jesus isn't an original character by any means. Just look it up. "Jesus-like Figures Throughout History". It's amazing.

There is abundant evidence that supports my thesis that Plutarch wrote Luke's gospel. The
evidence has been available for decades;
Just as Abraham, Moses, Noah, and many other characters in this mythology didn't actually exist and in concept are stolen from other cultures, combined into mutated versions with other characters from other stories, thinly re-labelled and re-branded, so too is the Christ character.

Contact Sensitization
Extina (ketoconazole foam, 2%) Foam may result in contact sensitization, including photoallergenicity. [See ADVERSE REACTIONS]
Flammable Contents
The contents of Extina (ketoconazole foam, 2%) Foam include alcohol and propane/butane, which are flammable. Avoid fire, flame and/or smoking during and immediately following application. Do not puncture and/or incinerate the containers. Do not expose containers to heat and/or store at temperatures above 120°F (49°C).
Systemic Effects
Hepatitis has been seen with orally administered ketoconazole (1:10,000 reported incidence). Lowered testosterone and ACTH - induced corticosteroid serum levels have been seen with high doses of orally administered ketoconazole. These effects have not been seen with topical ketoconazole.
Nonclinical Toxicology
Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, and Impairment of Fertility
Long-term animal studies have not been performed to evaluate the carcinogenic or photo-carcinogenic potential of Extina (ketoconazole foam, 2%) Foam. In oral carcinogenicity studies in mice (18-months) and rats (24-months) at dose levels of 5, 20 and 80 mg/kg/day ketoconazole was not carcinogenic. The high dose in these studies was approximately 2.4 to 4.8 times the expected topical dose in humans based on a mg/m2 comparison. In a bacterial reverse mutation assay, ketoconazole did not express any mutagenic potential. In three in vivo assays (sister chromatid exchange in humans, dominant lethal and micronucleus tests in mice), ketoconazole did not exhibit any genotoxic potential. At oral dose levels of 75 mg/kg/day (4.5 times the expected topical human dose in mg/m2), ketoconazole impaired reproductive performance and fertility when administered to male rats (increased abnormal sperm, decreased sperm mobility and decreased pregnancy in mated females).
Use In Specific Populations
Teratogenic Effects, Pregnancy Category C: Ketoconazole has been shown to be teratogenic (syndactylia and oligodactylia) in the rat when given orally in the diet at 80 mg/kg/day (4.8 times the maximum expected human topical dose based on a mg/m2 comparison, assuming 100% absorption from 8 g of foam). However, these effects may be partly related to maternal toxicity, which was also observed at this dose level. [See Pharmacokinetics]
No reproductive studies in animals have been performed with Extina (ketoconazole foam, 2%) Foam. There
are no adequate and well-controlled studies of Extina (ketoconazole foam, 2%) Foam in pregnant women.
Extina (ketoconazole foam, 2%) Foam should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus.
Nursing Mothers
It is not known whether Extina (ketoconazole foam, 2%) Foam administered topically could result in sufficient systemic absorption to produce detectable quantities in breast milk. Because many drugs are excreted in human milk, caution should be exercised when Extina (ketoconazole foam, 2%) Foam is administered to women who are breastfeeding.
Pediatric Use
The safety and effectiveness of Extina (ketoconazole foam, 2%) Foam in pediatric patients less than 12 years of age have not been established. Of the 672 subjects treated with Extina (ketoconazole foam, 2%) Foam in the clinical trials, 44 (7%) were from 12 to 17 years of age. [See Clinical Studies]
Geriatric Use
Of the 672 subjects treated with Extina (ketoconazole foam, 2%) Foam in the clinical trials, 107 (16%) were 65 years and over.This monograph has been modified to include the generic and brand name in many instances.

Lent has begun! Sign up today for a Lent devotional experience.
The evangelist seemed to have concluded his history with the foregoing chapter; but (as St. Paul sometimes in his epistles), new matter occurring, he begins again. He had said that there were many other signs which Jesus did for the proof of his resurrection. And in this chapter he mentions one of these many, which was Christ's appearance to some of his disciples at the sea of Tiberias, in which we have an account, I. How he discovered himself to them as they were fishing, filled their net, and then very familiarly came and dined with them upon what they had caught, John 21:1-14. II. What discourse he had with Peter after dinner, 1. Concerning himself, John 21:15-19. 2. Concerning John, John 21:20-23. III. The solemn conclusion of this gospel, John 21:24, 25. It is strange that any should suppose that this chapter was added by some other hand, when it is expressly said (John 21:24) that the disciple whom Jesus loved is he which testifieth of these things.

During American's Gilded Age, the tycoons who amassed vast fortunes from industries like railroading, oil and banking build grand mansions on magnificent estates, some rivaling European castles. No expense was spared, no detail overlooked. Furniture almost as impressive as the architecture filled the rooms.
Inspired by the last 19th Century wonders, the Provence style would be at home wherever unambiguous statements were valued. Anchored in a rich design heritage, though distinct updating for 21st Century preferences. The overall feel is light, less formal, more comfortable with detailing choices to accent the classic or the contemporary.
