'Snitching' Facebook page leaking explosive murder investigation evidence and police are powerless to stop it
- From: Gold Coast Bulletin
- March 26, 2014
EXPLOSIVE evidence on some of the Gold Coast's most gripping murder investigations is being leaked on social media — and police are powerless to stop it before it reaches courts.
Crucial witness statements relating to the death of Tumara Cousins and the murder of Coomera Detective Senior Constable Damian Leeding have surfaced on an anarchist page on Facebook.
The documents were published on "Aussie Snitches Exposed", which has received almost 2000 likes for its anti-police content.
Two statements from the Cousins investigation have been released, containing the address, contact details and pictures of the witnesses and their families.
Police admit it is the third time the statements have been reproduced on social networking sites and officers have been forced to protect the safety of witnesses whose private information has been exposed.
Legal experts warn the publication of sensitive information that would be used as evidence could be in contempt of court and lead to trials being aborted.
The "Aussie Snitches Exposed" page was created in June, 2012 with the promise: "Name and shame the grubs. Post paperwork & we will share it!
"We hate putrid mutts."
Prominent criminal lawyer Bill Potts, of Potts Lawyers, warned the site was "inciting violence" with the site carrying a profile picture stating "No one likes a (expletive) dog".
"This is potentially extremely dangerous," he said.
"The website has published statements from witnesses in a matter currently before the courts which contain the contact details — names, addresses and phone numbers, accompanied by phrases such as "no one likes a dog" which could be seen as an attempt to intimidate witnesses and prevent them from giving evidence."
Mr Potts said it was also a serious concern for defendants yet to face trial with vital information available to potential jurors.
"Evidence in a criminal matter is best left to the courtroom where it can be tested in a court of law."
Tumara Cousins died after a 31-storey plunge from his Surfers Paradise apartment last year.
The body of the 29-year-old nightclub promoter was discovered just before midnight on May 11 outside the Beachcomber Resort in Hanlan St.
Two men have been committed for trial. However, indictments have yet to be presented in the higher courts.
The published statements contain key information that has not been made public.
Police admitted it was "concerning" that the police information had been published and said the matter was being investigated.
The final published statement is a chilling account of the night Sen Con Leeding was gunned down.
The witness tells of his lucky escape from the Pacific Pines Tavern when he walked in on the armed robbery in progress.
"As I approached the bar, I saw a man standing where the change area of the bar is located. I saw a person with a shotgun in his hand. He was yelling. I turned straight back and turned back and went straight back out the way I came in," the witness states.
"The guy with the gun was yelling and had the gun pointed at what appeared to what I assume were people lying on the floor.
"When he saw me, he started to turn and yelled at me. I don't know what he was yelling. That's when I turned and trotted out of there."Originally published as 'Snitching' Facebook page exposes informants

The interests of conference participants in areas usually assigned to the domestic category included public perception of President Truman, the role of women during that era, major economic issues, and the work of the courts. In a few cases implications for foreign policy are clearly indicated. Initially President Truman probably felt more secure in dealing with domestic policy matters because of his earlier governmental experience including his work as a U.S. senator from Missouri.
However, in each of these areas President Truman encountered difficulties which are analyzed here. In the matter of public perceptions of his conduct of the office Harry Truman started out with at least one strike against him by laboring in the shadow of an illustrious predecessor. Current impressions of Mr. Truman as President make it difficult to grasp the reality that at one time Mr. Truman's public approval rating was lower than for any postwar president up to the present. On the one hand Truman did not seem to worry about the public reaction to his decisions but he was careful to present his case to the public as his responsibility in a democratic system. One chapter here relates the public opinion factor to leadership in the Truman administration and presents an analysis of Truman's concept of the office. It places a strong emphasis on the informing, educative responsibility of a president.
Mr. Truman's use of the "bully pulpit" in press conferences and speech formats also receives attention in another selection. His language and speech style were consistent throughout his political career. In foreign affairs President Truman embraced the idea of reporting to the public after each diplomatic conference and major policy decision.

Marvel has already conquered the multiplex, made their movie into television, and are getting ready to invade Netflix, so what's the next move for the comics giant? Animation. It's a surprise it's taken this long considering that comic books seem ready made for the format, but as we already know, Marvel carefully thinks each move before making it. And so it'll be interesting to see if Disney Animation can not only continue the run of success for Marvel, but also bring something fresh to the genre.
Don Hall ("Winnie The Pooh") and Chris Williams ("Bolt") direct this one that will take audiences to San Fransokyo, where a robotics prodigy Hiro Hamada and his robot sidekick Baymax who team up with a group of crimefighters — including the exotically named folks Wasabi-No-Ginger, Honey Lemon, GoGo Tomago, and uh, Fred — to stop some bad guys. On the one hand, this is a property that almost nobody except comic book types know. On the other hand, that doesn't matter, particularly with animated film that has more leeway to introduce audiences to new worlds.
Will you want to step into this one? "Big Hero 6" arrives on November 7th. Watch the first trailer below.

When the new Franklin Community High School principal saw how many students were passing a required algebra exam on their second try, he knew the school needed to do more to prepare them for the test.
Last spring about 19 percent of the Franklin students who retook the end-of-course assessment — meaning they'd failed the exam at least once as eighth-graders or freshmen — passed, Franklin Principal Doug Harter said. By comparison, about 44 percent of the Whiteland Community High School students retaking the Algebra I exam passed last spring, counselor Laura Ehringer said.
Harter wanted to know what his high school was doing to help students who weren't passing the Algebra I exam. That exam and the English 10 end-of-course exam are both required for graduation.
When he found out nothing was being done he made creating a plan for those students one of his first priorities as the high school's new principal.
"We didn't have a plan for those kids who didn't pass it the first time. What are we doing to help them? Are we just hoping they pass the second time? We have to have a plan in place," he said.
Next semester Franklin sophomores who either haven't passed the Algebra I exam or who are in Algebra I and may need extra help will meet with math teachers at least once a week to prepare for exam. The goal is for 80 percent of Franklin's sophomores to have passed the Algebra I exam by the end of the school year.
Next year, Harter will begin meeting with the high school's English teachers to create a similar plan for students who haven't passed the English 10 exam, he said.
Whiteland students who are retaking the exams there spend extra time working with English and algebra teachers about a month before taking the test again in December and in the spring. And Greenwood students who have failed either exam are placed in English and algebra labs that reteach them the lessons they don't understand.
Students need to be able to pass both exams to graduate, but they also need to master the material on the exams in order to succeed in classes they'll take as juniors and seniors, said Rick Ahlgrim, Greenwood's director of secondary education.
"If you have a deficit in the skills and knowledge of the prior years, it does make the current year a real challenge," he said.
Students take the end-of-course exams for the first time in the spring. They typically take the Algebra I exam as eighth-graders or freshmen, and the English 10 exam as sophomores. Students can pass their English and algebra courses without passing the exam, and if they fail they can retest in December and again in the spring.
The grades high schools receive from the state in the A-F Accountability system depend in part on students' passing rates on the exams, Harter said.
Currently about 54 percent of Franklin's 433 sophomores have passed the Algebra I exam. Sixty-six sophomores have failed the exam, and 135 students are taking Algebra I now and will take the test for the first time in the spring, Harter said.
Next semester, students who haven't passed the Algebra I exam, as well as 52 of the sophomores in Algebra I whose teachers think they may need help understanding what's being taught, will begin meeting with math teachers. The meetings will happen during Franklin's 72-minute weekly schoolwide study hall. Students will meet with teachers in groups of 12 or 13 and review lessons that they either missed on the test or are having problems understanding in class, Harter said.
"We're being very intentional about who we're targeting," he said.
Next year, Harter also wants to begin giving Algebra I students new assessments throughout the year that can better track what lessons students do and don't understand. Teachers use similar assessments in elementary and middle school classes, and they can better prepare students to pass the exam when they know where they need extra help, Harter said.
At Greenwood Community High School, students who don't pass either of the exams continue taking the math or English course they're on track for. For example, a sophomore who failed the English 10 exam but passed the class would go on to English 11.
But they would also be placed in an English lab with other students who failed the exam or are having problems in their English course, Ahlgrim and assistant principal Todd Garrison said.
The labs for algebra and English use computer programs that assess students' abilities and show which lessons they don't understand. With that information, teachers can create individualized lessons that are more helpful to those students than what would be taught in traditional English or algebra classes, Garrison said.
Whiteland had similar labs for students years ago but had to eliminate them because the high school didn't have enough teachers to run them, Ehringer said. The school still provides an English lab for freshmen.
Between 250 and 300 Whiteland students have to retake one or both of the end-of-course exams this year. To prepare those students, the high school sends them to work with either algebra or English teachers twice a week — or four times if they've failed both tests.
During the high school's 40-minute open periods, the students are put into classroom-size groups to review lessons they missed on the exam with the teachers, Ehringer said.
"This is a period where our teachers and students are both available, to give them that specific time," Ehringer said.
At the end of the year Whiteland's algebra and English teachers will meet to review whether the high school needs to make any changes to better help students who didn't pass one or both of the exams the first time, Ehringer said.

Participation Map
Participation Map
The NICS Participation Map, as illustrated below, depicts each state's level of participation with the NICS.
Thirteen states have agencies acting on behalf of the NICS in a full Point-of-Contact (POC) capacity. These POC states, which have agreed to implement and maintain their own Brady NICS Program, conduct firearm background checks for FFLs' transactions in their respective states by electronically accessing the NICS. Upon completion of the required ATF Form 4473, the FFLs conducting business in the POC states contact a designated state agency to initiate a NICS background check in lieu of contacting the NICS Section.
- Full POC states (contact state/territory for all firearm background checks, including permits): California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Hawaii, Illinois, Nevada, New Jersey, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Utah, Virginia
Seven states are currently sharing responsibility with the NICS Section by acting as partial POCs. Partial-POC states have agencies designated to conduct checks for handguns and/or handgun permits, while the NICS Section handles the processing of the states transactions for long gun purchases.
- Partial POC states (contact state for handgun and FBI for long gun background checks): Maryland, New Hampshire, Washington, Wisconsin
- Partial POC states (contact state for handgun permit and FBI for long gun background checks): Iowa, Nebraska, North Carolina
Thirty-six states/territories do not have POC status and rely on NICS for all firearm background checks.
- Non-POC states/territories (contact FBI for all firearm background checks): Alabama, Alaska, American Samoa, Arizona, Arkansas, Delaware, District of Columbia, Georgia, Guam, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, New Mexico, New York, North Dakota, Northern Mariana Islands, Ohio, Oklahoma, Puerto Rico, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Vermont, Virgin Islands, West Virginia, Wyoming
Twenty-five states have at least one ATF-qualified alternate permit, which are issued by local or state agencies. Specific permit details can be found on the Permanent Brady Permit Chart.
- ATF-qualified alternate permit states: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, North Carolina, North Dakota, South Carolina, Texas, Utah, West Virginia, Washington, Wyoming

My Olympus E-510 Started freezing
Hi All,
I have an Olympus E-510 and i have been using it for the past 5 years and really enjoyed it. I am still a novice photographer unlike most of you guys.
for the past couple of days i cannot take any pictures with it. When i focus and click the shutter button it freezes for few minutes and i don't see any photo in the live view.
I am thinking about sending this for olympus service. I don't have any warranty on it now.
Any suggestions before i decide to go with the olympus service.

Euro Recognition Tour: Day 13 & 14!
Posted By etnies in Skate, Skip To The Comments (8)
Jun 15 2009 / Monday
Yes... there are still more updates! The first day in London was a wet one but it did eventually dry up and we were able to roll around...
Anarchy in the UK!
Artsy pigeon.
Devine shrunk!
Malto warms up!
Then he plays!
Then he FS half cab boardslides!
Then he spots a homey!
Oh what!? It's Don Brown!
Day 14 was the second day in London. It was sunny so we hit the streets and warmed up at a sick little park. It was a lot of fun and afterwards we decided to just roll around the city and see what we could get into. Although we found some sick stuff to skate we were getting the boot more than we would have liked. The chick cop actually told us we were trespassing on private property and when asked what she meant by that (at this point we are standing on a public sidewalk) she said that we were trespassing on London City Inc. property. London has actually incorporated itself so basically anywhere you go within the city of London is private property. Regardless, we managed to skate a couple of fun spots and all had fun cruising the city.
Sick warm up spot!
Sean BSTS!
Jose and graff...
Da boot...
Kicked out of everywhere...

Good God, my least favorite NaPoWriMo prompt from last year is today's prompt. I avoided it like the plague last time because I had a tough time writing it. I followed through with it, but this is the roughest translation of Polish poet Urszula Koziol's "PSALM" EVER.
VERY Rough Translation Poem: Offbeat Psalm

Love this Patrick! Great pose and I love her outfit too - gels really nicely with her beautiful skin.

Hi Patrick - Yeah I agree. I love the depth in the shadow under her chin and the way her left eye is hidden by the shadow under her hair. What light modifier did you use?

Placing all of your attention, energy and focus on the subject is so important. Wish that I was at that point, but I am trying.

March 28, 2013 | Vol. 116 -- No. 49
After a strong couple of outings last week, the Cheney tennis team was unable to overcome a strong Mt. Spokane team Tuesday, March 19, losing 0-7.
The final score, however, doesn't factor in the absence of the team's three top players.
Boys' team head coach Jesse Erickson said their absence was heavily felt, especially against Mt. Spokane's experienced team.
"Mt. Spokane has a much more experienced team, and they're much more consistent," he said.
Mason Van Stone had the lone set win of the day, going 6-4, 4-6, 8-10.
"That was a close, well-fought match," Erickson said. "He got into some really strong rallies."
Other players, like Nathaniel Brewster, were able to keep close during the entire match, but were unable to carry out a win. On a positive note, however, it allowed players a chance to work on some technical aspects of their performance, whether it was serving or maintaining aggressiveness throughout their game.
"Overall, the effort was there," Erickson said. "But we're young and there's a lot of stuff we need to work on."
On the whole, consistency turned out to be the team's downfall. Many players started their match winning, but they weren't able to maintain it throughout the rest of the way. Erickson said he hopes players can learn to make adjustments if a first set goes awry, doing something different in the next set.
Another area of work includes getting better angles on volleys with the doubles players, keeping pressure on the opponents.
Erickson wasn't sure when Wednesday's canceled match against University High School would be replayed. It was canceled due to inclement weather that included a heavy rainstorm.
Cheney's matches this week included matches against West Valley, Medical Lake and conclude today (Thursday) against Lakeside.

I'm pretty cheap (and don't have a craft store handy). Can I use watered down white glue in place of Modge Podge? I'm revamping a table by adding a larger plywood top, and am going to cover it with old hymn book pages.
Modge Podge vs White Glue
Maggie Hugie Hello from your hometown! I've only been here 4 years. I'm a transplant from... everywhere!
Jessie it's basically thin white glue. It is used to attach and seal paper products to something else. It was all the rage back in the 70's for decoupage, if you are familiar with that. It's back again. Follow the recipes on here to make your own!
I lived at 107 Springs Road Nancy, it was one of the farmhouses built before the Revolutionary War. Bedford was a wonderful sleepy little town when I was there. I am sure its changed but I hope you enjoy it.
Maggie Hugie I drive by your old place every week on my way to the VA. We live off Summer St, and I am ashamed to say the most I get out is when I go to the VA. I live in my house, dreaming up projects!
Thanks Nancy, please wave at the old place the next time you pass by. I have lots of projects going too.

4 weeks 5 days and nothing showed on the ultrasound?
I went in for an early ultrasound to determine exactly how far along I am, the ultrasound tech didn't see ANYTHING in there. Not even a sac, or the starting of a sac. Is this normal? I'm really worried.

i am in the same situation! i had an ultra sound done after having light pos urine test, assumed i was 7-8 weeks along, had light spotting 2 days earlier. the abdominal u/s was neg and the vag u/s was negative!! TWO DAYS LATER i took a urine test and it was very pos. i think i was really 4 weeks instead of 7!! if i were you, i would wait until 9 weeks from the day you had the no-show ultrasound to get another. there are too many mistakes made by doctors in the first 9 weeks of pregnancy( ie: blighted ovum, miscarraige, no pole, no heart beat).. to save yourself from all the un needed drama, just get a qualitative Hcg blood test, and then wait. :) good luck.posted 05/21/2010 by Aperion
Same thing happened to me yesterday went to get an U/S because based on my last cycle I was suppose to be 8 weeks. I never listen to that though BC unlike many girls my period does what it wants to do. Anyways my bladder was COMPLETELY empty, however the lady that ushered me in to the sono told me that's fine if they couldn't see anything they have plenty of water to give, anyways NOTHING was found, no sac, baby nothing, plus we just experienced a lost very early in pregnancy about 8 mos. Ago. Immediately I broke down, she sent me on my way with miscsrrying and ectopic pregnancy and said seek medical attention like tf? hub was like no we will go to the ER get your levels checked and a more detailed ultra, well levels were fine 2155 found a sac no baby yet BC I am only 5 weeks and I'm going to get levels checked again tom. Hang in there ladies pregnancy can be worrisome and some ppl make it worse, but just believe your baby is already here.posted 06/18/2014 by tbutler18
I just went today to get an ultra sound I was what I thought to be 5.5 weeks, they scheduled and early ultra sound because I miscarried at 6-7 weeks last time I was pregnant. the only thing they seen was thickening of the walls, And they told me not to be nervous because it might be too early. He did schedule an hcg test that I took today ad I take another in a few days, if my levels go up then it means I'm all good! Wish me luck and pray xoxoposted 05/01/2014 by showstopperx2
I know this post is quite some time now,but am in the same situation,I had a still birth 2014,been ttc ever since then,12th of this month got a positive home pregnancy test,had symptoms for 2days after that no more symptoms,went for an early u/s showed just a sac am suppose to be 5weeks 6 days,the sono guy asked I repeat in 2 weeks. but am worried because I have been down the road of blighted ovum, miscarriage and still birth,just wanted to be sure if there is anything as minus 4weeks and 6 days,that was the report I got no fetal pole ... am sick out of my skin,and no symptoms to calm me down,but my home urine test keeps getting darker and stays positiveposted 07/23/2015 by tapp2000
you cant hear the heart beat til you are at least 6-8 weeks...so whoever says they can at 4 weeks is farther along than they thought. im 5 weeks from LMP and they did a sono...saw nothing but thinckening. my husband and i started trying to get pregnant on nov. 3rd....this app i have on my phone called "get pregnant" (i downloaded it on nov 7th) said i was fertile on the 3rd, very on the 4th and ovulated on the 5th and implantation would've been the 10.... so really i am in my 3rd week...almost my fourth! it was SUPER crazy how accurate that app was and it was funny that the days we randomly decided to try were the BEST days to try!!!! i went to the er on sunday or monday(25th or 26th) and my hcg level was in the 200s & then again on the 28th and it had doubled to 400& something!!!posted 11/30/2012 by LILMOMMYY

My BF of 6 yrs and I are TTC. My first day of last period was 1/24/12. I am now about 6 days late on period. I am ALWAYS on time. I have had some symptoms; Minor cramps, nausea, food/smell adversions, even when looked like implantation bleeding which was very very light and lasted only 2 days around the 17th. On top of that I FEEL in my Heart I am pregnant. Tested two days in a row, negitave results. Went to planned parenthood, tested negitave on urine test, they wanted to send me home with no blood work. I ordered to get U/S for peace of mind. The technician was rude,and I felt that she didnt take my request seriously. She stated since my endometrium was present it was impossible for me to be pregnant. Was I too early, is this in fact true. PLEASE I need some advice. I truly feel Im pregnant, and am driving myself crazy wondering. Thanks all, ***Baby Dust to All*** XOXOposted 03/01/2012 by lilmamma2012

May 31, 2016
Mississippi's State Board of Education has officially removed geometry as a high school graduation requirement.
The proposal has been in the works for several months now. Students will instead be required to take algebra one and another higher math.
The change was made to bring Mississippi into compliance with the federal "No Child Left Behind."
The federal law requires that students be tested at the highest level of math required.
The problem, according to State School Superintendent, is that Mississippi students are tested at Algebra One, but geometry is the highest level of math required.

K from Iran writes:
Our team bozboz-e-ghandi, consisting two person (me, the head and S, the follower) reached the summit at 12:45 on Saturday August the 30, 2014.
I think Damavand is a holly place and as you all know there are too many stories about men who came down from or went to Damavand and rescued this land (Fereydoun, Arash, ....) so I thought I should go there at least once in my life and now I am very proud of this.
I should state here that this site was a great help and I used the information about weather forecast.

The bears got slammed on Friday as the
(INDEXSP:.INX) soared past the key 1600 level following a
better-than-expected jobs report.
Following a recent spate of economic data implying a US slowdown,
not to mention an earnings season that can be described as so-so at
best, it appears that expectations were fairly low heading into
this morning's jobs report.
Thus, the bears were caught off guard when the big headline number
-- the change in nonfarm payrolls -- came in at 165K, beating the
138K consensus. Additionally, both the February and March numbers
were revised up significantly.
On the negative side, average weekly work hours and aggregate
earnings declined while the underemployment rate rose, but again,
expectations were fairly low and traders were content to cue off
the positive headline numbers.
That 165K print drove a day that can very much be described as
risk-on. The small-cap
Russell 2000
(INDEXRUSSELL:RUT) was up significantly, as were
economically-sensitive sectors like Industrials and Materials.
We also received the April ISM Services report today, which
disappointed slightly at 53.1.
In earnings news, we saw better-than-expected numbers from
Automatic Data Processing
Spectra Energy
), and
), and misses from
WellCare Health Plans
Duke Energy
), and
Buckeye Partners
There are no economic data releases on the calendar for Monday.
Earnings season will continue, however, with notable reports coming
(SYY) and
Tyson Foods
(TSN) before the open, and
Plains All American Pipeline
(PAA) and
EOG Resources
(EOG) after the close.

Reviews for Childhelp, Inc.
I'm familiar with Childhelp from the advocacy center in Phoenix. I was in there for a project, and the facility houses all the personnel to respond to such terrible crimes, but it remains warm and friendly nonetheless. It's like a police station, medical clinic and social services office all together in one place. Lots of smiles and helpful people. It really takes a special kind of outlook to do the work they do.
It's clearly a team effort there, but Childhelp is definitely doing good work for the kids of Phoenix.
2 people found this review helpful
I worked for Childhelp for several years, I think the vast majority of employees want to serve the children. I am fond of the "ladies" - they started this organization and I think are blind to the day to day.

Melissa (29) and Michael (29): We Beat MFI!!!
Enjoying our miracle boy, Caleb Adam (2/12/2014)
Thrilled to be adding miracle #2, Due 2/11/2016!!
They are going to have some free at the hospital to use, and if you ask, I'm sure they'll give you more. They kept trying to give me formula. I had told them we were breastfeeding and they still left formula in my room. I finally just left it in my room when I left. Also if you qualify for WIC they are a source of free formula for many moms. I wouldn't switch brands a ton though, so if you plan to utilize free formula from either WIC or the hospital, than find out what brands they use and stock up on just 1 or 2 extra cans before the birth. I wouldn't buy too much in case you need to switch the type due to allergies.
Momma to 5 Girls and 1 Toddler Boy!
I bought enfamil prior to my delivery. The formula last for quite a while so you don't have to worry about stocking up. I would get a little bit to start out just so your SO isn't running around trying to buy some after yoi deliver.
I was lucky and my LO had no issues with the brand I stocked up with. But some babies have problems. It is up to you how much you want to buy ahead of time. Maybe check the return policy for the stores you purchase from.

I would like some comments/feedback/advice from the Qt community cause there's no like 'comments' section in wiki so I'd thought I pop over to the forum. So what you guys think?


text: Unlike your typical Polish 'cafe' that blurs the lines between cafe and bar, combining coffee and beer, civil conversation and boisterous boozing under one roof, Sufi Cafe is having none of that business. This dead serious cafe celebrates only one thing and that's the coffee bean. With a variety of roasts and brewing methods, Sufi should satisfy even the most exacting connoisseurs. A subtly Eastern interior of gold walls, scalloped arches and Islamic chanting as background music evoke the quiet, calming atmosphere that makes Sufi a great place for finding the inner peace that the name suggests - be it by concentrating over a computer in the front, or meditating with a book in the cushioned second room. Best coffee in Wrocław? Sufi is certainly on the short-list.

"Guimaras" Top 5 Page for this destination Guimaras Island by kemisteryoso
Guimaras Island Travel Guide: 112 reviews and 390 photos
Guimaras Island is a small island province just south of Panay Island separated by the Iloilo straight. It comprises 5 towns in which Jordan is the Capital. Being a former part of Iloilo province, Guimaras has a culture and ways similar to Iloilo. The design of trikes and jeepneys are all the same as well as the language and charming tone of the people.
The island became famous for its sweet mangoes, actually the sweetest are found in this island province. In fact other mangoes or seedlings are prohibited to enter the Island to preserve and protect the Quality of their mangoes. A mango research facility is located in the Island
The island also have nice beach pockets like those in Alubihod and Guisi which is worth visiting.
After our trip to Iloilo, we headed to Guimaras to experience a different environment and try their beaches as well. We thought about Concepcion islands but the long travel made us think twice and since we don't have much time left, Guimaras is more practical to explore because of its proximity to Iloilo City.
We checked out early in the morning around 7 AM and we had a 15 minutes boat ride from Ortiz port to Jordan where we rode a jeepney to Nueva Valencia. The travel took 1 hour and a half of our time but it could have been shorter if the jeepney did not wait for passengers in Brgy. San Miguel that long.
Sitio Alubihod is not along the highway so we rode a Tricycle waiting on the main highway and brought us to Raymen beach resort. There are other resorts in Alubihod one can choose from and we chose Raymen because it has more positive reviews than others.
We are so lucky that our room was already available that morning so we checked in early or else we ended up waiting on their cottages until 2 PM. We hurried to our room and changed our clothes into beach attire in a flash. We decided to take a brunch and had our Island hopping activity at 10 AM. We went to the DOST Turtle Sanctuary, Ave Maria Islets and beach, did snorkeling somewhere on the islets, visited Baras cave and had a quick stop at Baras beach then we went to Natago Island where I enjoyed so much its little white fine sandy beach and beautiful view and lastly we headed to SEAFDEC nothing fancy about this one though just big fish on a breeding station. We consumed 4 hours on the entire offshore activity.
We took a little nap and woke up at 4 PM and had our Pansit Molo merienda at Raymen's canteen. After ordering our dinner for the night we headed to Sitio Guisi of Brgy. Dolores to see Guisi beach and our main target, the Guisi Lighthouse ruins on a hill. Afternoon is the best time to visit this place because of the nice sunset they said. I really enjoyed this one, the rough 30 minutes trike travel, walking down a tricky dilapidated concrete path, feeling the fine white sand under my feet while walking towards the hill, the sound of small waves crashing, enjoying the peaceful place around you, the very careful trekk up the hill, the view of the Guisi beach, the ruins amidst green vegetation and the sunset that made everything more beautiful. I just love it.
We headed home before the night engulfed the remaining light we have around us. After our dinner, we spent the night drinking a bottle of beer sitting on the beach staring the clear night sky. We love doing this as we talk about many things until we had enough.
The next morning I woke up early because I wanted to take photos while the beach is quiet and not crowded. I owned the beach for a couple of hours. I went to Rico's and climbed to their Lifeguard house set on a rock overlooking the sea and the whole of Alubihod. The view was perfect and relaxing.
We checked out around 12 noon and we went into the Trappist Monastery located in Brgy. San Miguel about 15 minutes from Alubihod to buy some goodies and souvenir items made by the monks themselves. I love their Mango bar and sad to say their Mango jam was not available so I bought a Pineapple jam instead which is also quite good. Then we headed to Jordan and decided to visit Balaan Bukid because its only 2 PM and we still have time for it. We rode a trike at Jordan port and he agreed to wait for us and we will pay him P100.00 just to be sure we have a transportation on going back to the port. We had a smooth 10 minutes ride but the real thing is the climb. We hiked the rough and stony path of the hill for 45 minutes and I was drenched in my own sweat. My back pack made me suffer more. My 2 travel buddies seem not tired and they climbed without resting. I am the last one to reach the summit and that was made possible because I rested on every station. By the way, Balaan Bukid is a hill in which during lenten season people go here to re-inact the suffering and death of Jesus. It has 14 stations along the way with a big cross and a chapel at the summit. The panoramic view of Iloilo city and the straight separating the islands of Guimaras to Panay is the prize for those who endure the challenge. Our travel back to the base was much easier and we left the Island at 4 PM.
We only spent 2 days and 1 night at Guimaras but seems we are here for how many days. We really had so much fun and adventure . Don't forget this Side Trip when visiting Iloilo.
Reviews (12)
This place is our last destination in Guimaras maybe because of its proximity to Jordan. Only 10 minutes tricycle ride... more travel advice
We went straight to the monastery after we checked out from Raymen at 12 nn and had a quick shopping. We were told that... more travel advice
After our Island hopping activity we had a quick nap. Then we headed to Brgy. Dolores to see their lighthouse ruins... more travel advice
This is our last destination. We didn't expect it to be far from the rest of the attractions but is a 35 minutes travel... more travel advice

"Taste of Cherry" (1997)
Having collaborated with former assistant Jafar Panahi on the screenplays for the excellent "The Journey" and "The White Balloon," Kiarostami came back in force with another semi-road movie: "Taste of Cherry." The film won the Palme d'Or at Cannes, the filmmaker having only just been allowed to leave the country to attend the festival at the last minute, and it launched the director to international fame. Following Badii (a superb Homayoun Ershadi, who in reality is an architect), a middle-aged man searching the countryside outside Tehran for someone to throw earth in his grave after he commits suicide, it's one of Kiarostami's most divisive films -- patient and languid to a fault, many have dismissed the film as dull and self-indulgent. We'd respectfully disagree, however -- Kiarostami's humanism is front-and-center, and the film's more oblique qualities actually give it a more wide-reaching profundity, perfectly matched by the director's beautifully plain shooting style. The film's coda, which cuts suddenly to behind-the-scenes footage of Kiarostami and his crew making the film, accompanied by Louis Armstrong's "St. James Infirmary," is equal parts baffling and brilliant. Few directors have tackled the simple banalities of death and its relationship with life with such skill. [A-]
"The Wind Will Carry Us" (1999)
Bafflingly, Kiarostami has a reputation among some of his critics for being overly serious, even po-faced, but those who think this clearly haven't seen "The Wind Will Carry Us." His second international festival success in a row, winning the Silver Lion at the Venice Film Festival, the picture once again blends truth and fiction, documentary and drama, but to effect more dryly funny than anything in his career to date. Following The Engineer (a filmmaker of sort), who's come to a small village to document the death of a woman who may be as much as 100 years old. Again, the central characters' motives remain cloudy for much of the film, even to himself, and it's one of the most genuinely spiritual films you could ever hope to see, but never in a way that feels preachy or forced. It's probably the director's most formally perfect work as well -- it's the last time he worked on film, as opposed to digital, and the collaboration here with great Iranian DoP Mahmoud Kalari makes you wish that he'll return to it one day soon. Somewhat undervalued on release, history's seen it take its place as Kiarostami's most personal, and possibly even his best, work. [A+]
"Ten" (2002)
Nominated for the Palme d'Or and starring female director Mania Akbari, this 2002 entry sported a simple premise: 10 car conversations are accounted with two consumer DV cameras attached to both sides of the vehicle. While it may sound amateur in scope and overly-talky, it's actually a nonpareil, private look into the social (and political) climate of modern-day Iran. These non-actors dig deep and expose themselves, and one of the most memorable instances involves a teary, jilted woman removing her headscarf and revealing a shaved head -- one of the first (if not first) times this has been done on film in the country. There's also the mother-son relationship, one that's severely tainted by an on-going divorce that the boy isn't taking particularly well, something that is universally relatable. The youth vocalizes his frustrations without any sort of dignity or censorship -- exactly as a child would -- and the result is something a bit off-putting, but real. Despite glowing reviews, the single-setting and raw presentation isn't for everyone, including this writer's cousin (who caught it in a Persian class and cites "The Blind Side" as a great movie) who claims that it was "the worst movie ever" and that all the boy needed was a slap in the face. That's an interesting perspective, to say the least. [B]
"Certified Copy" (2010)
With Kiarostami finding life increasingly difficult in Iran (his films haven't been shown there in a decade, and his friend Jafar Panahi receiving a disgraceful six-year prison sentence), it was only a matter of time before he started to look outside Iran for subject matter, and, following a contribution to the portmanteau picture "Tickets," it came in last year's Cannes debut of the excellent "Certified Copy." Casting international star Juliette Binoche, a long time friend of Kiarostami, who also appeared in his experimental film "Shirin," was bound to raise the film's profile, and it's the director's most accessible film by about a million miles -- if you're unfamiliar with his work, this is really where you should start. A swooning romance, sort of, pairing Binoche with British opera singer William Shimell (in a role once linked to Robert De Niro, believe it or not), it's as moving and adult a depiction of a relationship as we've seen in a long time, while still remaining identifiably Kiarostami. While it's perhaps slighter than the very best of his Iranian work, it suggests that the 70-year-old filmmaker still has some surprises in store. [A-]
Odds & Ends: Kiarostami has a body of work stretching back to the early 1970s, most notably his early feature, "Gozaresh," which sadly no one on staff was able to track down -- as far as we can tell, it's never received a formal release in the U.S. or U.K. We hope we do soon, though, particularly because it stars Shoreh Aghdashloo, who a quarter-century later would be nominated for an Oscar for her role in "House of Sand and Fog." It was followed by a series of shorts in the 1980s, while his 1989 documentary "Homework" in particular is well-regarded by those that have seen it.
A true film fan, Kiarostami's also collaborated on the portmanteau pictures "Lumiere and Company" and "Tickets," the latter with Ken Loach and Ermanno Olmi -- Kiarostami's segment being, to our eyes, the strongest of the three. He's also continued to work in documentary both traditional -- the moving, powerful "ABC Africa" -- and highly experimental -- the Ozu-influenced "Five," the autobiographical "10 on Ten" and "The Roads of Kiarostami." His features can verge on the experimental as well -- 2008's "Shirin" focuses entirely on the faces of the women watching a theatre performance of a famous Persian poem, and is thoroughly fascinating, if something of a slog to even the most dedicated fan.
--Christopher Bell, Oliver Lyttelton

Prints: fineartamerica.com/featured/eg…
A white egret stands in profile. It wades in the water near some papyrus plants in front of a foggy background. The egret is any of several types of heron. They make for a good subject for art as they have a great "S" shaped neck that looks good in compositions. Plus, their white feathers can really look bright against a dark background and draw the viewers to an artwork. For this work, I was going more for the look of a painting rather than realism.
Beautiful oh my God. I've always tried drawing egrets or any water fowl and it's never turned out good. This is utterly beautiful, good job sir.
Wonderfully done!
Oh I like this one for sure!!!!!
Amazing artwork
Many would love tutorials on how this was made.
I actually do have some tutorials on youtube: www.youtube.com/user/danielesk… . I don't have one for this exact image, but "3D render art walkthrough: Tree with Goat" pretty much covers all the techniques I use. I tend to be a bit long winded though, so you need a good block of time to watch these.
superb Pic , love the Athmosphere of this Pic, the Light ist fantastic and the little surrealistic Sujet
very nice!
Splendid. Very great job
Beautiful art.
Awesome work!

Wow! Beautiful!

Jun 2015 - $15.00
The rate of $15 is the nightly average of $350 per month plus electric. We stayed one month to be close to family and Forest Service for off road riding. Older park, very VERY tight sites, most are more appropriate for tents than rv's. WiFi did not reach our 1st site so we moved to the only other place owners would let us stay. So small I had to cut tree branches and move rocks to fit my 25' 5th wheel on the site. Other sites available but they would not let us have one. Owner was busy so handed me a ladder, a hand saw and pruners & told me to cut whatever I needed, & move rocks (boulders) if I needed to. (I did). (I should have given them a bill for my hour + 1/2 labor!) Park sits in a valley so Verizon mobile didn't work. If we had not prepaid and locked into the month we would not have stayed. The laundry machines are in need of replacement. The owners are nice, but nice people do not make a comfortable park. In 25 years of RVing, this was the hardest place we have ever been in for parking the rig on the site. The sites are so tight there isn't even a good walking path unless you walk Out of the park. Even the sites for the "big rigs" were cramped with barely room to open slides. Caution to you if you like to be able to "spread out", set out your awning and chairs and move around your RV. (Our awning would not open all the way. Not enough room) Upon leaving we were given our electric bill, which included a $7.00 "hook up" fee. Really? The electric bill seemed excessively high, since we didn't use our A/C much at all. As you can see, we were not happy campers. - wdwrew

I seldom write reviews - if ever. But Mike and Susan were especially nice, the campground is very clean and private - and they have the best WiFI I have ever encountered. I would stay here again and I recommend it. - Anthony Sherman

Recognizing that the rolling Global Plan of Action for the Conservation and Sustainable Use of Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture is important to this Treaty, Contracting Parties should promote its effective implementation, including through national actions and, as appropriate, international cooperation to provide a coherent framework, inter alia, for capacity-building, technology transfer and exchange of information, taking into account the provisions of Article 13.
Contracting Parties are encouraged to promote the effective implementation of the GPA (see Box 15) as an international, yet voluntary, framework for PGRFA-related efforts. This is to be accomplished through:
national actions; and
appropriate international cooperation to provide a coherent framework for capacity building, technology transfer and the exchange of information.
In so doing, the Parties are encouraged to take into account Article 13 on benefit-sharing.
While the wording used in Article 14 is not binding, the GPA is seen as an essential scientific and technical framework for action at both the national and international levels, and in particular for the benefit-sharing provisions of Article 13. The first GPA was adopted in 1996, and it is envisaged that the Plan will be periodically updated; hence the expression "rolling".
The implementation of the GPA will be guided and monitored by countries through the FAO CGRFA. In addition to progress reports issued by the CGRFA, a series of regional and sub-regional meetings to promote implementation of the GPA have been held, co-sponsored by the System-wide Genetic Resources Programme of the CGIAR and relevant regional agricultural research organizations.
Since the time of the adoption of the GPA, considerable experience has been gained in many areas critical for the implementation of the Plan. This includes work concerning on-farm management of plant genetic resources, participatory plant breeding, and furthering the understanding of local seed systems. National plant genetic resources programmes have been put into place in many countries and established networks in most sub-regions provide appropriate platforms for stakeholder involvement and the integration of conservation with the sustainable use in the plant breeding and seed sector.117
However, the wish of many stakeholders that the GPA should provide for coherent action in the fields of in situ and ex situ conservation, sustainable utilization of plant genetic resources, and institution and capacity-building has not been fully realized. Among the reasons for this is the absence, as yet, of an effective international arrangement to facilitate the implementation of the GPA.
Building on the successful example of a facilitating mechanism provided by the Global Programme on Integrated Pest Management, the FAO has established a facilitating mechanism to develop a more comprehensive and integrated approach to further implementation of the GPA. The proposal was presented to the CGRFA at its Ninth Session in October 2002, which "stressed that the implementation of the Plan should be country-driven, but efforts should also focus on facilitating the provision of technical and financial resources to developing countries (especially least developed countries), and to countries with economies in transition. High priority should also be given to enhancing or creating partnerships for implementation of the Plan, promoting linkages among plant genetic resources management, plant breeding and seed sector, and networking, and facilitating communication with international organizations and donors."
The proposal was further discussed at the Second Session of the Commission's Working Group on Plant Genetic Resources in November 2003. The Working Group, which reports to the Commission, left the wording of the objectives of the Facilitating Mechanism to the Commission itself, but agreed on its operating principles, activities and operational structure. The Facilitating Mechanism will receive overall guidance from the Commission and its working Group on PGRFA. It will be hosted by FAO and operated in partnership with IPGRI in a way that attracts and accommodates other international organizations to become partners. Its activities will include providing information on:
Sources and availability of financial, technical, material and information resources;
Linkages among stakeholders;
Donor and recipient priorities, roles and conditions;
Best practices and standards and procedures;
Success stories;
Plans, commitments, targets and indicators; and
Any other information regarding resources necessary to implement the GPA.118
At its tenth session in November 2004, the CGRFA reviewed the Technical Working Group's proposal, and agreed that the objective of the Facilitating Mechanism should be to facilitate the implementation of the GPA, and to encourage the mobilization of technical and financial resources to do so. The Commission supported the operational principles, activities, and operational structure of the Facilitating Mechanism.
