Makahulugang pasko para sa lahat!
As we celebrate the coming of Jesus Christ in the midst of trials and challenges, let's take the examples shown by these children of supporting each other when they only have themselves to turn to:
Maligayang Pasko sa lahat!

Ellen, hindi kaya nababasa ng mga kurakot ang mga ganitong retrato at mga pangitain sa kanilang sariling bayan?? Wala na silang pakiramdan at paki-alam basta masaya silang waldasin ang pera ng bayan na dapat sana ay gugulin sa kapakanan ng mga batang ito na naghihirap mairaos ang buong maghapon ng gutom, uhaw, walang masilungan, walang maliguan at walang nagmamahal.
Tunay na napaka saklap ang nangyayari sa bayan natin. Hindi kaya mangyayari ang tunay na kabaliktaran at itong mga kurakot sa bayan (Janet Lim-Naoles, ank niyang, Jeane Napoles, JPE, Ramon Revilla,Jinggoy Estrada, Gen. Carlos Garcia, Gen. Ligot, Angelo Reyes, Gloria Arroyo, Mike Arroyo, Butch Abad, R.G. Valencia, Reynaldo Umali, Benigno Aquino III at iba pang mga kurakot sa Kongreso) ay sila naman ang makikita natin na nanglilimahid sa mga kalsada na walang makain, nauuuhaw, marumi at gulagulanit ang mga suot, walang pumapansin, walang malakaran, walang mapagliguan, puro ipis, langam, gumagapang na sintipid, daga at mga bulati sa paligid, walang matulugan at wala na ring mga nagmamahal sa kanila? At ang mga batang nakita natin ngayon ay sila naman ang nagsasaya, maslinis at may magagarang pananamit at nagtatamasa ng maraming pag-kain na kilalang kilala natin sila, na sila nga ang mga nakita natin sa mga retratong ito!! Sana po sa Paskong ito ay maganap sa mga batang ito ang tunay na magandang buhay, dahil naranasan na nila ang buhay na kawalan ng mahabang panahon. Ito po ang aking dalangin sa Paskong ito sa ating mahal na Diyos, Hesu Kristong mapagmahal, mahabagin na sa Kanya ang lahat ay posibling mangyari at walang imposible. Amen!!! Amen!!! Amen!!!

Very touching photos. The children are the ones who know what love is. No pretense. Why not post the photos of rich kids if they do the same? The photos sure will show them playing with their expensive toys in expensive clothes.
Merry Christmas to you all !

Electricity, water, communication, oil and gas, now toll roads under the control of the oligarchs friends of our government..they created the poor and they will continue to do so…by keeping most working pnoys under paid and overly tax. We have so much to thank like tabako for his EPIRA, thank you goyang for appointing so many unqualified corrupt who sold us out to favor her oligarch friends, and now the many toll roads being created..who will i thank?
They already own everything in our country mga gutom pa rin?

Ellen, A sibling is always precious to us all at any age. i drove more than 4000 kms. to spend the Season's with my youngest sister in the Bay Area and we were enjoying the "togetherness" like when we toddlers growing very poor in the Farms in Iloilo. then there were news of widespread outages in Southern Ontario and more than half of the Toronto Residents have without power since December 21 and back at New York today and have to drive back to Toronto because the whole Province is out of Salt (for ice and snow melting) and have to load the car with salt for relatives and my own house which until now has no power…(waiting for available Electrician for safety check before power is switch on) And have to forego Celebrating New year with grandkids and my other baby sister (they are twins)in in New York…that is how love among siblings is…forever.

Ilang araw pagkatapos ng bagyo ang mga barangay official o nag work dswd ay pumunta sa bawat bahay at tiningnan. Kapag bagsak talaga ang bahay ay 50 tawsan para sa calamity fund, 10 to 50 tawsan ang puwedeng matanggap. Hanggang ngayon ang ganun ay wala pa rin sa aming lugar. Wala pa rin natatanggap na pera ang nakatira sa bawat bahay. Puro pa lang mga relief goods. Sana hindi iyon kurakutin. Ang perang bigay ng bawat bansa ay masyadong sapat para mabigyan ng pera ang nakatira sa bawat bahay. Kahit nga yero sabi magbibigay daw, pero wala pa rin. Bakit ganun.
arvin - December 28, 2013 3:07 pm
Sobra na isang buwan bakit hindi pa rin binibigyan ng pera ang mga nasiraan ng bahay dito sa aming lugar sa Leyte. Marami ang umaasa na tutuparin iyon. Pero bakit wala pa. Sadya bang sa panahon ngayon kakurakotan na. Huwag naman kayo ganun, kung alam niyo lang pagkatapos ng bagyo kahit mayaman ka walang halaga ang pera dahil wala kang mabilhan lalo na sa tacloban city at kalapit na lugar. Pagkain, gasolina at anu pa. Ang mga nararapat na mabigyan para makapagawa ng bahay kahit kaunting halaga ay bigyan ng pera. Ang para kay Juan ay kay Juan, ang kay Pedro ay kay Pedro. Huwag ang para kay Juan ay kay Pedro pa rin. Matuto na mapagbigay..

arvin, sa amin nga sa zamboanga ay nangako na naman ang mabunying presidente at aabutin daw ng ilang buwan pa bago simulan ang pag-aasikaso upang ibalik ang dating pamumuhay naming mga naging biktima ng bakbakan na nawalan ng tirahan at naniniwala ako sa mga ipinangako ni presidente noynoy sapagkat alam kong isinasabuhay niya ang kanyang adhikaing tuwid na daan. ipagpasalamat natin at ipagmalaki na meron tayong mga namumuno sa gobyerno na hindi lumilihis at tinatahak palagi ang tuwid na landas PATUNGO SA bangko!
Mannie - December 28, 2013 9:31 pm
#5 You drove from Toronto to California. How long did it take you? That's a very long drive. I guess you did it during summer not winter.
My father's side also came from Iloilo City. My relatives used to live along Barrio Magsaysay and Isnart St. Do you remember Botica Te?
Many foreigners know it's the longest Christmas in the Philippines. Many travel to the Philippines just to spend Christmas.
To me, Christmas is getting to be more commercialized with people celebrating Santa Claus than Jesus Christ. The above photos indeed tell us the true meaning of love. Ironically, it's the children again who tell us what love is.
Jojo - December 29, 2013 4:15 am
ang mga larawan na ipinakita ay larawan ng kahirapan ng Bansang Pinas. kahirapan na hindi na maiiwasan at lalago pa. resulta ng over population ng Bansang Pinas. Hangga't nakikialam ang simbahan sa pagsugpo sa paglobo ng population, patuloy na dadami ang mahihirap sa Bansa. panahon na para magkaroon ng pangil ang govierno na labanan ang pakikialam ng simbahan. ang alam ko sa ibang bansa kapag ang isang simbahan ay nakialam sa takbo ng govierno ay may kalalagyan sila. ang isang babaeng china ay tumakas sa kanyang bansa para isilang ang kanyang anak dahil may batas sila sa dami ng anak.
arvin - December 29, 2013 2:31 pm
Walang ganyan na larawan sa panahon ni Marcos. Dahil sa panahon ni Marcos wala masyadong nagugutom. Sagana sa pagkain ang mga tao. Ang mga nagpatalsik kay Marcos o namuno na mapatalsik ngayon ay magaganda ang katayuan sa buhay. Samantala ang mga maralita o uto uto na mga tao noong panahon na sumama sa edsa sa pag rally ay mahirap ang buhay sa buhay. Nadamay ang lahat ng Pilipino sa bansa sa nangyari sa Manila na pagrally. Iilan lang na tao, sabihin na natin 500,000 tawsan na tao sa pagrally para mapatalsik sila. Pero ang nadamay ay milyon milyon na tao pati pa hindi isinisilang nadamay sa ginawang pagpatalsik kay Marcos. Hindi na maibabalik ang nakaraan.
arvin - December 29, 2013 3:04 pm
Balita gusto raw makapasok ng mexican drug sa Pilipinas. Haha, kung panahon ni Marcos hindi sila makakapasok dahil tiyak bitay kapag nahuli. Wala ng paglilitis para hindi tularan. Dahil kung idadaan pa sa korte aabutin ng dekada bago mahusgahan.
arvin - December 29, 2013 3:15 pm
Karamihan na tao ngayon sa Pilipinas ay kayod kalabaw talaga para lang may makain. Kawawa talaga, samantala sa panahon ni Marcos ay hindi ganun na kayod kalabaw. Kahit ano gagawin magkapera lang. Sa mabuting paraan man o masama. Kawawang mga Pilipino.
MPRivera - December 29, 2013 7:10 pm
totoo kaya ito?
ano yu'ng sinasabi nilang maayos na ang kalagayan ng mga sinalanta ng bagyo sa partikular na mga lugar sa leyte KUNG ganitong amoy bulok na bangkay ang paligid?
Mannie - December 30, 2013 1:28 am
Arvin, I agree with the good things you always say about Marcos. But there were other factors that contributed to the better life during those days like lower inflation, better pesos current exchange rate, stronger purchasing power. The current economic situation in the Philippines is also being felt by most countries including the industrialized more developed countries.
vic - December 30, 2013 11:03 am
Manie @ 9 California will take at least 5 days travel time and 50 hours driving time..yes during the first 15 hours it was mostly driving in winter condition but there were very little snow on the way
Backin Toronto now and still without power.. The tree in my backyard broke all its heavy branches due to IceBuildup and ripped the power line to my house. Ther were more than 300 hundred thousands customers without power at the height of the IceStorm and 6000 remaining. Got my receptacles and Pipes replaced including the Circuit breaker panel, the tree cut andcoar me a lot of though… My insurance will cover a lot of ot including repairs to the roof and gutters after the winter maybe. The utilities personnel checked the house for SAFETY and may switch the power tomorrow. it is cold (water is not affected as it is heated by natural gas, but the Furnace blower need electricity to operate). Well this is the first time and I am not planting any more Tree next to the powe Line..have to cut short my holiday in sunny Florida and also in New York and PA.. Still can drive with minimum rest at my very senior age..
vonjovi2 - December 30, 2013 11:05 am
tanong ilan taon na ba naka upo si pnoy sa pagka presidente ng bansa natin.
Mayroon na ba siyang dapat ipagmalaki sa kanyang tuwid na daan.
Mayroon na ba siya napakulong na politicians sa atin.
Mayroon ba siyang matitinong Kabinete.
Mayroon ba siyang nagawa para pigilin ang mga magnanakaw sa Gobyerno.
Dapat ba siya ang mamuno sa bansa natin.
Imbis na napigil ang pag nanakaw sa gobyerno natin ay lalo lang dumadami pa. Tumataas ang rate ng krimen dito sa atin. Nauso na ang Riding in Tandem. Parang manok or baboy na lang ang pinapatay na tao dito. Noon ba ay ganito ?…
Kahit isa ay wala pang napapakulong na magnanakaw na politicians. Kaya wala pa siyang maipagmamalaki sa bansa natin.
Iyan mahilig ang mga alalay niya sa people power kaya kahit electric power rate inrease ay okey sa kabinite niya.
vic - December 30, 2013 11:06 am
Meant sunny California. Maybe summer will drive down to Florida.. Lot closer.
Mannie - December 30, 2013 11:10 am
Thanks Vic. It sounds like worse than the floods in Alberta. I wonder if Canada home insurance covers floods.
vic - December 30, 2013 11:15 am
Mannie, I was a native of Alimodian.. And of course i remember borica Te..left the country in the early70s and only visited when my parents still alive and since then only infrequently..that time Iloilo city had only one intersection with traffic lights manually operated..and Kalesa was still a big part of transportation..
vic - December 30, 2013 11:20 am
Yes home insurance covers Flood and slips and injuries within the property..including guest who drive drunk drinking at the insured home..the reason why the Host will prefer a stay in drinking party ..or make sure that guests have non drinker designated drivers..
Mannie - December 30, 2013 11:34 am
Vic, pls correct me if I'm wrong. I heard insurance companies in Canada refuse to cover floods. It must be decided by the government or something. That's the reason why those flood victims in Calgary lost their homes.
arvin - December 30, 2013 12:06 pm
Pati hindi pa isinisilang nadamay sa ginawang pagpatalsik kay Marcos. Ang mga tao na naroon sa edsa dapat na isumpa. Dahil sa kanila ganito ngayon ang bansa. Gutom at kahirapan ang naghahari sa mga ordinaryong mamamayan. Samantala ang mga malalaking pagkatao o kilalang apelyedo sa edsa ng mag rally ngayon magaganda ang kalagayan sa buhay. Isang napakalaking pagkakamali ang pagpatalsik kay Marcos. Kahirapan ang naging kapalit.
arvin - December 30, 2013 12:14 pm
Pati mga alagad ng batas ngayon ay kawawa. Kasi madami ng masasamang tao na kailangan nilang mahuli. Nakaalerto lagi sila. Samantala sa panahon ni Marcos pa easy easy lang ang mga alagad ng batas kasi wala masyadong masasama dahil kapag nahuli tiyak kulong o parusa na dahilan para hindi tularan. Ngayon nagkalat kahit saan ang mga masasama. Marami ng NPA, MILF, MNLF o anu pa.
arvin - December 30, 2013 12:22 pm
Ang media noon ay kontra kay Marcos kasi wala ang malayang pamamahayag. Ngayon ay malaya nga silang makapagpahayag pero buhay naman ang kapalit dahil pag iinitan sila ng kanilang binabatikos. Isang malaking katangahan ipagpalit ang malayang pamamahag kaysa sa buhay. Kaya hindi dapat na magreklamo ang mga taga media kung parami man ng parami ang pinapaslang na kasamahan nila dahil sila rin lang ang may kasalanan. Malaki rin ang naging papel ng nasa media sa pagpatalsik kay Marcos.
vic - December 30, 2013 8:42 pm
Mannie, only overland flooding is not covered but all other like sewage backup, basement leakage are. And since overland flooding is a very isolated incidence The insurance does not want to penalize those that are not succiptible to flooding due to lake and rivers overflowing. There will be some sort of govt compensation for such damages.
For power outages, the cost of restoration will eventually be borne by Consumers unless Federal and Provincial govt will pay off the cost.. That still to be negotiated. My insurance adjuster already assess the damaged on my house and the cost of repairs…replacement of circuit breakers I will have to pay myself since it was already condemned by the utility inspectors as unsafe and very Old
Mannie - December 30, 2013 9:24 pm
Thanks Vic again. If you know Dra. Flora Te, she has long been residing in the US. Her nephew who's now an orthopedic surgeon is now practicing in Gensan. Former Mayor and Sen. Ganzon's son Jeffry was my good friend. I haven't been back to Iloilio City for decades now.
Happy New Year to all !
vic - December 30, 2013 9:48 pm
My sis and her husband knew them too well.. They now are practicing in New York and pretty soon will be joining the ranks of the retiree..She is Pedia and her hubby is Nuclear medicine specialist. Was planning to spend at least a month with them if not for this emergency. Toronto hydro said that they will be done restoring all power by Today.. Here at the mall charging all the gadgets. All my Neighbours had not been affected with prolonged outages. My niece living a block away has only two hours. She has no tree close to the WIRES
Mannie - December 31, 2013 1:46 am
Hey Vic, we might know each other after all; at least our relatives and friends. It's a small world indeed. My classmate and friend Dr. Te's parents were both doctors and both already passed away. My friend is the only child and a very devout Christian his daughter even married to a Pastor in QC.
vonjovi2 - December 31, 2013 11:02 am
Mannie n Vic suggest exchange your private message sa private e-mail. He he just kidding. Happy New Year.
Mannie - December 31, 2013 11:30 am
That's what I've been thinking too, Von. Maybe Vic and I should chat privately because we're off topic. I'm sorry. My apology to everyone.
Happy New Year to you too and to everyone !

Mannie - January 2, 2014 9:55 am
Allow me to share this with you this New Year:
CHINESE ADVICE TO 50-YEAR OLDS & OLDER: WHERE YOUR LIFE STAND HERE ON EARTH (Translated from the Chinese). Because none of us have many years to live, and we can't take along anything when we go, so we don't have to be too thrifty… Spend the money that should be spent, enjoy what should be enjoyed, donate what you are able to donate, but don't leave all to your children or grandchildren, for you don't want them to become parasites who are waiting for the day you will die!!
Don't worry about what will happen after we are gone, because when we return to dust, we will feel nothing about praises or criticisms. The time to enjoy the worldly life and your hard earned wealth will be over!
Don't worry too much about your children, for children will have their own destiny and should find their own way. Don't be your children's slave. Care for them, love them, give them gifts but also enjoy your money while you can. Life should have more to it than working from the cradle to the grave!!
Don't expect too much from your children. Caring children, though caring, would be too busy with their jobs and commitments to render much help. Uncaring children may fight over your assets even when you are still alive, and wish for your early demise so they can inherit your properties and wealth. Your children take for granted that they are rightful heirs to your wealth; but that you have no claims to their money.
50-year old like you, don't trade in your health for wealth by working yourself to an early grave anymore… Because your money may not be able to buy your health…
When to stop making money, and how much is enough ( hundred thousands, million, ten million )?
Out of thousand hectares of good farm land, you can consume only three quarts (of rice) daily; out of a thousand mansions, you only need eight square meters of space to rest at night.
So, as long as you have enough food and enough money to spend, that is good enough. You should live happily. Every family has its own problems. Just do not compare with others for fame and social status and see whose children are doing better, etc., but challenge others for happiness, health, enjoyment, quality of life and longevity…
Don't worry about things that you can't change because it doesn't help and it may spoil your health. You have to create your own well-being and find your own place of happiness. As long as you are in good mood and good health, think about happy things, do happy things daily and have fun in doing, then you will pass your time happily every day.
One day passes without happiness, you will lose one day.
One day passes with happiness, and then you gain one day.
In good spirit, sickness will cure; in a happy spirit, sickness will cure faster; in high and happy spirits; sickness will never come.
With good mood, suitable amount of exercise, always in the sun, variety of foods, reasonable amount of vitamin and mineral intake, hopefully you will live another 20 or 30 years of healthy life of pleasure.
Above all, learn to cherish the goodness around… and FRIENDS… They all make you feel young and "wanted"… without them you are surely to feel lost!!
Wishing you all the best.
Please share this with all your friends who are 50 plus and those who will be 50 soon.
We can learn from this.

The above message (January 2, 2014 2:07 pm) and this one were posted earlier, Jan. 1, 2014 1:46 am. But I think Ellen is on vacation my greetings to some friends here will not be noticed later on because it was sent for moderation due to 2 links in 1 post. Hinati ko yung message into 2 para maprint today.
Happy New Year's classmates!
Ellen - January 3, 2014 12:43 am
Thanks, Tongue.
How did you find the infor on these photos?
Mannie - January 3, 2014 3:22 am
Tongue is so resourceful. I always enjoy reading his posts. He's got lots of knowledge. The second photo was obviously from Vietnam due to the child's clothes that looked like Vietnamese. It was my similar observation, but I did not bother to point it out since it's immaterial to the message of the topic. It's all about the true meaning of love during Christmas and the kids are the ones showing and teaching us.
TonGuE-tWisTeD - January 8, 2014 2:37 pm
Ellen, my friend, Steven A., developed an app for Google and Windows to do an image search in reverse. You just right click on a photo anywhere from the web and his search engine searches billions of images and points you to the original source. Last I heard Google was buying it from him for $100K but he was only selling it if its for $1M or higher. I don't know if the deal pushed through but I already have a copy of the app in my phone and laptop.
Ellen - January 9, 2014 5:19 pm
Wow, Tongue, that's awesome! You have a friend who is an IT genius.

Augusta, GA – With three runs on five hits in the first inning, the Charleston RiverDogs took an early lead and never looked back. The RiverDogs picked up a 7-1 win over the Augusta GreenJackets in the season finale for both teams, allowing the RiverDogs to earn the four-game series sweep.
RBI singles from Saxon Butler, Rob Refsnyder and Casey Stevenson – the final three of the five consecutive RiverDogs hits in the first inning – gave Charleston a 3-0 lead. They added another run in the second on Casey McGehee's RBI double. In the fifth, a costly throwing error after Charleston's third hit of that inning gave the RiverDogs a 6-0 edge. Charleston grew the lead to 7-0 in the seventh on Francisco Arcia's RBI groundout.
Paul Davis (6-8) never recovered from the first-inning onslaught, but battled bravely through six innings in the season finale. He allowed six runs – four earned – on 11 hits and a walk while striking out three.
The GreenJackets were held to just one hit against Charleston starter Bryan Mitchell and three in the entire contest. Mitchell (9-11) fired six scoreless innings and didn't walk anyone while striking out six.
Augusta got on the scoreboard to avoid the shutout in their season finale on Elliott Blair's two-out RBI single in the seventh inning. In the four-game sweep, Charleston outscored the GreenJackets 24-5.
The loss brings Augusta's overall record in 2012 to 69-70 and 37-33 in the second half in their second season under Lipso Nava. 2012 is the first year as a Giants affiliate where the GreenJackets did not finish with a winning record in the overall standings.
The GreenJackets will open the 2013 season at home against the Lexington Legends on April 4th 2013. Information on purchasing or renewing 2013 season seats is available by calling the GreenJackets front office at 706-922-WINS and online at www.greenjacketsbaseball.com.

You walked down the halls of the school bored and tiered, but happy that school was over for this week. That means more time for you to play video games and watch horror movies. Just when you were going to turn the corner you heard a cry and some voice. You peeked from around the corner and saw a girl, it was one of your close friends. Well, not exaclly friend, but science partner. She was surrounded by two guys, which you easly recognized. The bad guys of the high school, Alfred and Matthew. Everyone feared them. There were some rumors that said theey killed the ones that annoyed them.
The girl was crying and begging for her life. Well, anyone would do such a thing, but you pity her. None wanted to deal with this duo. Right now, you had that sudden urge to help her and you didn't knew why. Anyone would have run, but not you. You took your bag of of your shoulders and pulled out some ballons full of water. You really was going to meet death. With the ballons in hands, you looked around the corner and they were still there. Is now ir never!!!! Then you trowed the ballons at the two, making them all wet. The guys looked kind of shocked at first and locked their gaze on you. The girl took this chance and run for her life. You should too right now, don't you think?
"You little bitch!!!!" Alfred yelled, face all red of anger with a frown on his face. You didn't waited and run like hell. The dark haired guy was going to chase you down, but Matthew stopped him.
"What the fuck, asshole!!? You let her away!?" Alfred screamed at his brother, who didn't seemed to move a muscle.
"I'm going to take care of her. You better go and buy some dinner for tonight." The blond guy said, then walked down the halls, like he had the entire time in the whole world.
"Whatever you say, fucker!" with that said, Alfred walked away, still annoyed and with the urge to kill something or someone.
You run like hell down the halls, then entered a girls bathroom, where you hide. Gasping for air like you were going to die, at last you got away from the dangerous duo, right? Closing your eyes, you smile, thinking about the fact that you saved that girl from been killed or raped. That smile quickly vanished when you opened your eyes only to meet violet ones behind some sun glasses. It was Matthew! Oh shit! What made your eyes go wide in fear was that hockey stick that he always keep up with him.
The way he looked at you, told you very well that he was angry, but he was so calm about the situation, unlike his brother that would burst out in rage.
"H-Hi." You said with a nervous grin, trying to show that you weren't scared, but the true was that you were at the point of screaming in fear. He moved his hockey stick up and down your thigh, rubbing it. That only made you blush in confusion. What's up with this guy?!
S-Sorry for what happened in the hallway. C-Can we forget about it?" you suggested with a nervous smile, only for him to give you a frown.
"You think you can get away that easly?" he said in a dark and intimidating voice. Not wonder people always didn't knew what to say back to him. It was like dealing with a three year old, a very big and scary three year old.
"It was your fault not mine! You and your dumb brother tried to kill the crap out of the girl, asshole!!!" you yelled at him, but quickly claped a hand on your mouth. It just came out without you to know? None has ever yelled at him, none besides his brother, but that doesn't count. And cursing at him?! Hell, you really wanted to have troubles, didn't you?
You expected him to hit you or something like that, but he just chuckled and it was that kind of chuckle that a killer would use before killing his victim.
"My, my
[Name], I didn't know you have such a dirty mouth~" he said with a dark smirk. This was very weird. Normal, he would keep a poker face or a frown, but that smirk, damn it was making your skin crawl and it was so hot on him. Fuck this thoughs! Are you out of your mind [Name]!? Keep your cool, shit!
"You looks so cute with a blush on your face~" at this point you could feel the heat on your face, it fel like it was on fire and it got worse when he moved his face closer to your ear, breathing hot air on your neck and ear. You swallowed hard, eyes wide open in shock and fear, face red like blood and your mouth slighly opened. His hands moved to the end of your shirt, making their ways under it. His hands were so cold, making you yelp. That only made him chuckle at your cute reactions.
"You sound sooo cute~
.I wonder what other sounds could you make?~" he licked the shell of your ear, nibbeling on it softly. You let out a low moan at his treat, you really didn't expected yourself to be pinned on the bathroom wall of the school by Matthew, one of the most dangerous and hot guys in your school and besides that he was pleasuring you, in more way than you thought. His hands moved north to your breasts, giving them a rough squezze, not before ripping your bra off of you. The moment he gave you that squezze you gasped in pleasure, giving him the perfect chance to pull you into a demanding kiss, slipping his tongue into your mouth. The way he rubbed his tongue on yours, it was heaven. He tasted like mint and maple syrup, irresistible combination.
He picked you up by your hips and pulled both of you into a bathroom stall. Your face was as red as the blood or the color of his jacket. His hands pulled your pants down and off of you, leaving you just in your panties. At this you wanted to stop, but you knew he wasn't going to give up. Actually, a part of you wanted everything to go on, to the end.
" you whispered tiered in his ear. You could feel yourself getting dizzy from all the pleasure that went in your veins. He trailed rough kisses from your neck to your collarbone and back. You were sure that he leaved hickeys and lovebites everywhere, just perfect.
"You're soo hot~" he growled in your ear erotically, making you whimper a little. You wrapped your arms around his neck and pulled him in for another kiss. First he seemed surprised that you went along with him, then he fight with your tongue for dominance, which he easly won. While you two kissed roughly, he pulled your panties down, only to make you shiver from the cold air hitting your vital regions. With one hand he keep you in place and with his other one zipped his pants down along with his boxers.
You could feel the tip of his manhood brush against the lips of your womanhood. You bite your lip and growled in annoyance. That made him smirk.
"S-Stop teasing me, motherfucker." You frowned at him, but the smirk didn't leaved his face. Without another word he trusted fast in you, making you gasp in pleasure. At first it was painfull, but with each trust the pleasure was getting closer, hitting you like the waves of the ocean.
Y-Yesss~" you moaned out, with each trust he slamed you against the bathroom wall. He trailed another serie of kisses down your neck to your ear where he bite it and leaving with a sucking.
.[Name], you're so fuckin' tight~" he whispered in your ear, it almost sounded like a purr. You really couldn't believe yourself. You actually are fucking a hot damn bad boy of your school and in the bathroom of the school. Hell yes!!!~
"FUCK IT!!" with that you both come together, panting and trying to catch your breaths. He pulled out of you and trowed your clothes on your lap.
"Dress yourself and lets go." He said as he uzipped his pants up, waiting for you to dress. After you both were dressed you exited the bathroom, only to meet his loud and vulgar brother, Alfred.
"Where the fuck you were!? Fuckin' [Name], I see~" he said with a smirk, then winked at you. Matthew just rolled his eyes at his brothers stupidity.
"Lets go. We're going to my place." The Canadian said as he grabbed your wrist pulling you to God knoiws where.
"Come on, dumbass." He called Alfred who passed both of you in a run, but not before giving your butt a hard slap. At this point you were angry.
"Get back over here, asshole!!" you yelled at Alfred who just laughed his ass off, but not before reacieveing a hard punch in his face.
"That's my girl." Matthew smirked, proud to have such a girl by his side.

Focus Stocks
Approaching Support: Apple
Published on Tuesday, 29 January 2013 05:48 Written by TradersHuddle Wire
New York, January 29th (TradersHuddle.com) - Shares of Apple, Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) ended the trading session close to calculated support at $435, a level that will raise the attention of traders looking for an entry point.
Apple's stock range is defined by its calculated support defined at $435 and by the resistance level at $514.99. This range could be used as a reference by traders planning their next move. The area where buyer interest might materialize is defined as calculated support. Stocks trading near support might see upside if it can successfully hold the technical level. However, this area if breached will signal participants that the stock failed to entice buyers to step in to support it.
Traders wanting to establish a position should pay close attention to Apple's price action, and establish it as close to support as possible, but only after buying materializes. Traders should understand that the resistance point at $514.99 might limit their upside, however, if the stock breaks resistance, it could be a good point to add to the position.

A Triumph Of Trust For Rynnas
Tuesday, 11.16.2010 / 6:30 PM ET / Mike Ulmer's Blog
By Mike Ulmer - Mapleleafs.com commentator
|RELATED: Rynnas Named AHL Player Of The Week | Jerry D'Amigo's Player Blog
|VIDEO: Rynnas First Shutout | Marlies vs. Senators Highlights |
|DISCUSS IT ON: Leafspace | Twitter | Facebook
You are in a foreign place speaking a foreign language.
You are playing an exotic version of your game.
You have been asked to change what got you here and adopt something that has never worked for you.
That was the conundrum facing the Marlies' Jussi Rynnas, the reigning Reebok/AHL Player Of The Week.
The 23-year-old Finn is coming off a week where he won all three of his starts and posted 1.05 goals against with a staggering .971 save percentage. For the season, Rynnas has fashioned a 1.95 GAA with a .936 save percentage.
Rynnas' performance isn't a statistical feat but rather a triumph of trust. Trust is what you need if you are being asked to do something you've never done in a place you've never been.
"I just know what (Leafs goalie coach) Francois Allaire says he knows, he knows," said Rynnas, a reedy six-foot-five goalie. "I just trust him and do what he says."
Little wonder that Rynnas struggled mightily when he arrived in the AHL. He was quite naturally clinging to a game that worked for him in Finland.
"Jussi is an unbelievable worker in practice," Eakins said. "He has to keep with what his goaltending coach is telling him, keep up the practice habits and he has to have to have a belief inside that these things will eventually translate into good play and wins. That's how it is. If you put yourself outside those parameters, you are going to put yourself in a death spiral."
Trusting his coaches came down to minute adjustments delivered without hesitation.
"If a shot comes from very close, Francois wants me to take it with my shoulder, Rynnas said. "I wanted to use my glove. But if I did that, it was much like a half-save."
"In Finland, I slid way past the post. Here you have to find it. When you find the post you are at the right place and it's easy to make the save."
Rynnas said he occasionally backslides.
"It's a bit of a mix between what I did before and what I am doing now. There are times in the game where I don't know what to do but it's better now. When we train with Francois, I am finding a better way, his way."
"You have to believe that Francois Allaire is telling him the right things," said Eakins. "I know Francois is. I told him 'If you're thinking of doing something outside the box to change it up, no way. You will have success with some patience.'"

Considering goals
So, when I am getting into something that takes motivation and commitment, I have to keep myself inspired. I do this by researching, reading blogs, listening to others' experiences and planning. I'm a big time planner.
That said… I have been trying to work it out with my friend Kate (I met her here at Sweat365 back when I was training for my first tri!) to meet up for a race sometime next spring. Well, she's a runner… not a triathlete. But it appears to be popular for tri's to happen in the spring and running races happen in the fall. So now I am looking at aiming for a sprint tri and a half marathon within a month of each other this coming spring.
I wonder if it's okay to train for both of them at the same time. I would primarily be training for a half marathon while using my cross training days to work on my cycling and swimming. I am not trying to race anyone during either race - my only goal would be to improve my time from my first tri and simply finish the half marathon.
If anyone out there is reading this… I'd love some input. Would you train for both at the same time? The way it looks I will be shooting for a triathlon the second weekend of April and a half marathon the last weekend in April.
What would you do? I have my heart on the Angel's Sprint Tri which is a local triathlon with a lot of hills. The half marathon is a mostly flat course on a boardwalk in a city right between Kate and I's locations.
This post is all over the place. I'm exhausted. I'll research more later.
P.S. I just did some research and came across this thread about this exact topic. I think it's a go!

How and Why to Start Birding
By Rick Wright May 24th
What is that bird? How can I figure it out? Does this seem impossible? Get started or improve your birding skills while learning how birding contributes to the sciences and informs political decisions.
Dr. Wright, a native of southeast Nebraska, studied French, German, philosophy and life sciences at the University of Nebraska. He also worked in the bird collections of the State Museum and served as teaching assistant to Paul Johnsgard. After a detour to Harvard Law School, Dr. Wright took the M.A. and Ph.D. in German at Princeton University. His years as an academic included appointments as Assistant Professor of German at the University of Illinois, Reader at Princeton University's Index of Christian Art, and Associate Professor of German and medieval studies at Fordham University. Among his scholarly publications are two books on the Latin and German animal literature of the late Middle Ages. He is also the author of the American Birding Association's field guides to birds of New Jersey and of Arizona and of the forthcoming Peterson Reference Guide to North American sparrows. A prolific contributor to the birding literature and a sought-after lecturer, Dr. Wright lives in NJ with his wife Alison Beringer, and their chocolate lab Gellert.

Amazing Piping Plover Success at Sands Point Beaches,
by Peggy Maslow and Jennifer Wilson-Pines
A May 2nd NY Times Op-Ed article by Deborah Kramer
bemoaned the fact that migrating shorebirds are in steep decline."
But she added, "We can help. On Long Island, volunteers and
employees of AudubonNY, US Fish and Wildlife, DEC and Nature Conservancy
are all involved in trying to help piping plover adults have young
that survive. This year was successful at Sands Point beaches where
Peggy Maslow witnessed a 100% success rate of piping plover young
fledging after hatching. She has been monitoring piping plover young
at two beaches, Half Moon Beach and Prospect Point beach in Sands
Point, for eight years as a volunteer. Working out of TR Bird Sanctuary,
AudubonNY's employees, Long Island Bird Conservation Manager
Amanda Pachomski and technician Suzanne Jensen, supervise Peggy and
also monitor the piping plovers. At both beaches Suzanne Jensen put
up an "exclosure" to protect the four eggs laid with the
help of Port Washington resident, Anne Codey. At Prospect Point, at
Hempstead Harbor, all four young piping plovers fledged about the
first week of July, which means that they are considered survivors.
August 2 on Half Moon Beach, which is on the LI Sound, the four young
piping plovers flew. That means all eight plovers born on the two
beaches survived.
Most of the time we have only one or two survivors
each year. Eight survivors is amazing. Peggy remembers one year she
heard that only one piping plover chick survived at Jamaica Bay from
19 pairs. There are many predators such as great black-backed gulls
and sometimes very high tides can wipe out the nests. Fewer than 600
piping plover pairs exist on the United States East coast. At Cape
Hatteras National Seashore only 2 piping plover chicks fledged this
year, the worst number since 2004. One of the dangers to young piping
plover there are off-road vehicles driven by people who don't
want to share the beach with nesting birds.
Another first, five pairs of Double-crest ed cormorants
nested atop pilings adjacent to Manorhaven Beach Park. An additional
success story is a small colony of Common Terns, which despite the
name are listed as threatened by New York State. Four pairs have nested
on a work raft in Manhasset Bay. The owner of the raft, Capt. Matt
Meyron, leaves the raft undisturbed while the terns are nesting. This
year, 2 chicks were seen and photographed. It was a very good year
for baby birds all around; at least eight osprey nests in Manhasset
Bay produced fledged young.
By Lindy Nielsen
For the past few years in Bayville, a pair of Ospreys
has nested on a tall pole with a platform located outside of Stehli
Beach on a very sharp turn. Each year they successfully rear two to
three chicks.
On the night of July 1st 2015, a car traveling at
a high speed failed to negotiate this turn and slammed into the pole,
splitting it in half. This caused the platform to tumble down onto
the side of the road with the three six-week old chicks. It is believed
the parents were close by at a roost site. They took to the air and
flew overhead calling in high pitched whistles.
When the firemen arrived they realized that they
needed an expert to attend to the three chicks, so Jim Jones, a resident
of Bayville, trained avian rescuer and past President of Volunteers
for Wildlife, was called. He found one chick was found dead on
impact, and the other two were rushed to Bailey Arboretum where Volunteers
for Wildlife's
headquarters are located. Overnight another chick died from its injuries,
leaving the remaining chick to be examined the next day by a vet.
That third chick was found to have a broken right wing, which was
immobilized and is now being cared for by the volunteers, who are
giving it antibiotics and pain killers. It was reported that within
a day or two that the parents had already begun to re-build a nest
on an adjacent electrical pole. This prompted PSEG-LI to hastily erect
another pole and platform. As of this writing, both parents remain
in the area.
The future of the remaining chick will be decided
once the wing has healed completely. One scenario would be to release
the chick back into the wild, hopefully before the parents migrate.
If that is not successful, then a wildlife organization would have
to be found which can house the chick permanently. I was informed
by a volunteer that Ospreys are not a species that do too well in
captivity. It remains to be determined what cause of action will be

Google Vs the newswires
Last week I posed the following question to a number of newswires following Googles most recent changes. Some answered and some didn't. Below is a compilation of their take on the changes. Thanks to Sourcewire, Realwire and PRNewswire for their take on this important issue.
Most press releases are posted on numerous sites to get attention and to promote a business. Google has announced that this is now against the rules. Google doesn't want to see any unnatural boost to the popularity of a piece of content. Why would PR agencies now use a newswire service?
DWPub (Sourcewire)
In short, don't use a wire that syndicates releases across low quality sites. Duplication of your content is going to cause issues. If agencies have been using this approach with news wires then they've been going about it all wrong.
Look for a newswire with strong journalist distribution and one that uses no follow links to avoid penalties. I expect those that haven't already to start implementing this soon. We did this recently. I've put a link to yesterday's blog update dealing with this below.
Google's issue isn't strictly with press releases themselves, or any other form of content for that matter e.g. guest blog posts, it's with people seeking to use them to gain Page Rank, particularly via keyword optimised anchor text. In fact John Mueller, Webmaster Trends Analyst at Google, highlighted the value of press releases in this interview shortly after the announcement.
"John did make it clear that press releases are still a great way to promote your services and products. In fact, the links you get indirectly from a press release, i.e. those people who find your press release and then write a story on their own and link to you, do not have to be nofollowed. But the links within press releases should be nofollowed." Search Engine Roundtable
I strongly suspect anyone who's been using this approach of keyword anchor text links in press releases isn't likely to have had a great deal of success recently anyway given that, a) any newswire site in question is highly unlikely to be seen as authoritative on the specific topic concerned, b) the volume of content on some of the larger services' websites would mean that any page rank that passed would likely be seriously diluted, and c) there isn't much competitive advantage in doing something that anyone can do.
Even if there was a benefit in SEO terms to such a strategy, there's also a lot of potential for reputational damage if the approach also consisted of producing a poorly conceived and written piece of content, which no one will ever find of interest, and then stuffing it full of keyword anchor text links.
None of this has much relevance to RealWire though. Our focus on providing a professional service has meant that our main clients are mostly the UK's top PR agencies and freelance professionals, particularly in the technology arena with 19 of the PRWeek Top 40 Technology agencies using us so far in 2013. This type of client base means content quality generally takes care of itself, with our role being one of guidance and assistance to help make their releases the best they can be. Consequently we anticipate our clients will be supportive of our move to implement Google's nofollow guidance on our site.
PR Newswire
Sent me a link to a blog which in short said:
"Let's be very clear. Press releases have always been about generating awareness."
Press releases are more than simple SEO tools. Press releases reach journalists, influencers and consumers. The AP, Dow Jones, Reuters and Bloomberg, along with thousands of other major newsrooms worldwide, have feeds of press releases piped directly into their editorial systems. And almost eight thousand web sites, including some of the world's largest news sites, publish PR Newswire stories. Press releases drive social interaction. They meet financial disclosure. In short, they drive broad discovery of your message. None of this has anything to do with linkbuilding and SEO. This is all about building awareness.
Google is taking aim at a tiny slice of press release distributors with its new guidelines.
While most of the companies using PR Newswire (and our competitors) are doing so to build awareness of their messages, garner media pick up and to deliver their messaging straight to their target audiences, there is a contingent that are issuing press releases for the sole purpose of generating inbound links, and this is the practice Google is discouraging.
Adding no-follow code to the links in press releases will not impact their discoverability — press releases will still be indexed by search engines and the links within them will still be usable to readers. This does not mean that your press releases won't show up in online searches anymore. The nofollow code simply communicates to search engines that the links 'within' the press release shouldn't be read by search engine spiders and count toward the search rank of the page they're linked to. (If it sounds like this is an SEO technicality, that's because it is.)

Re: Aikido Frauds
The difficulty with invoking lineage is that anyone can lie about lineage, and it's going to be *really* hard to educate the public to tell the difference between a legit organization and a fictional one. (I subscribe to a charity rating report, and one of the recurring patterns is bogus charities with names very similar to legit ones.)
One pleasing thing I learned when I started subscribing to this report is that I'd never given money to any of the organizations they downrated. I was looking for warning signs in the solicitations, and apparently always managed to spot them. Perhaps we would do better to focus public education efforts on things that people can observe for themselves when they visit a school:
--Is the teacher generally respectful of other styles and organizations, and open to his students studying elsewhere, or is he dismissive and disparaging? Will he let students attend seminars elsewhere? I know that there are legit schools which prefer their students not to cross-train, but even they should be willing to suggest comparison-shopping to complete newcomers.
--Do the claims sound too good to be true? I recently looked at a dojo website which said "We guarantee that you will not be injured." Common sense should suggest that where there's one unreasonable claim, there will be others.
--Does the sensei come across as trying to sell you something? Does he use high-pressure tactics, extravagent promises, etc? Does he ask for unreasonably long initial contracts or high initial expenses? In my experience, reputable schools start off with fairly modest dues (dollar amounts vary by area) and may increase the financial committment for senior students, but fly-by-night schools often want the money up front--for obvious reasons.
--Are the students relatively happy, confident, and open? Or do they seem afraid of their teacher or each other, demoralized, sullen, or secretive?
--Are you allowed to watch classes before signing up?
This is stuff that if people knew it, would help them with more than aikido; and I suspect it will weed out most of the questionable aikido schools pretty well. And it doesn't get into issues with legitimate and excellent independent dojo (I've visited several of these) the way that pure tests of lineage and/or organizational membership do.
It's a sad truth, though, that if someone is ripe to be scammed, someone will come along to scam him. (I lost $125 to a scammer who managed to catch me half an hour after I had all four wisdom teeth pulled. They have an amazing nose for vulnerability.) In some ways the best we can do is to run our own dojo with the utmost responsibility and honesty, and try to shine by contrast. We can't really protect the public from itself.

Speed-On-Green Enforcement Resumes
July 11, 2011
Speed-on-green enforcement will resume in Edmonton, starting on July 12 at 12am. After a thorough review of the camera technology and ticket review process, the City of Edmonton, the Edmonton Police Service (EPS), and Alberta Justice all support the continued use of speed-on-green enforcement in Edmonton.
"Speed-on-green technology is an excellent tool for improving intersection traffic safety," explains Bob Boutilier, General Manager of Transportation Services with the City of Edmonton. "Keeping motorists safe is our top priority."
The City and EPS have made technology upgrades to all the camera systems. Equipment monitoring tools and new ticket review processes have been added to the intersection safety camera program.
"We are satisfied with the improvements made to the speed-on-green camera technology and the ticket review process," said Darryl da Costa, Deputy Chief, Edmonton Police Service. "The cameras are an effective tool for speed enforcement, and their continued use will help us to reduce property damage and injury collisions at intersections."
All intersection safety camera locations have been extensively tested and are tested on a daily basis to confirm they are within operating standards.
"With the upgrades in technology and the new testing procedures in place, I have full confidence in the reliability of Edmonton's intersection safety cameras and our ability to prosecute these tickets," said Steven Bilodeau, Chief Crown Prosecutor for Alberta Justice.
Motorists are encouraged to obey the speed limit at all times. In 2010 there were 28,840 collisions in the City of Edmonton with 47 per cent (13,501) being intersection related. The intersection related collisions contributed to 67 per cent of total injuries (3,314) and 13 of the 27 fatalities. By following the speed limit, you can do your part to help yourself others get home safely.

Heart of Darkness
by Joseph Conrad
Heart of Darkness Charlie Marlow Quotes
Quote 55
"No; I can't forget him [Kurtz], though I am not prepared to affirm the fellow was exactly worth the life we lost in getting to him. I missed my late helmsman awfully - I missed him even while his body was still lying in the pilot-house…It was a kind of partnership. He steered for me - I had to look after him, I worried about his deficiencies, and thus a subtle bond had been created, of which I only became aware when it was suddenly broken. And the intimate profundity of that look he gave me when he received his hurt remains to this day in my memory - like a claim of distant kinship affirmed in a supreme moment." (2.29)
Marlow may be on the edge, but he hasn't gone over it: unlike Kurtz, he still has some basic human emotion left. He's touched by death and honestly grieves at the loss of a man that he considers his partner. Well, kind of. He still sees the guy as primarily "an instrument" to help him get where he wants to go.
Quote 56
[Marlow on Kurtz's writing]: "…the International Society for the Suppression of Savage Customs had intrusted him [Kurtz] with the make of a report, for its future guidance…it was a beautiful piece of writing. The opening paragraph, however, in the light of later information, strikes me now as ominous. He began with the argument that we whites, from the point of development we had arrived at, 'must necessarily appear to them (savages) in the nature of supernatural beings—we approach them with the might as of a deity,' and so on, and so on. 'By the simple exercise of our will we can exert a power for good practically unbounded,' etc., etc. From that point he soared and took me with him. The peroration was magnificent, though difficult to remember, you know. It gave me the notion of an exotic Immensity ruled by an august Benevolence. It made me tingle with enthusiasm. This was the unbounded power of eloquence - of words - of burning noble words. There were no practical hints to interrupt the magic current of phrases, unless a kind of note at the foot on the last page, scrawled evidently much later, in an unsteady hand, may be regarded as the exposition of a method. It was very simple, and at the end of that moving appeal to every altruistic sentiment it blazed at you, luminous and terrifying, like a flash of lightning in a serene sky: 'Exterminate all the brutes!'" (2.29).
Kurtz's last letter starts off all noble, talking about benevolence and exerting good and bringing light and blah blah blah. Things take a dire turn at the end when he scrawls, "Exterminate all the brutes"—and notice how this rather upsetting sentence is compared to a "flash of lightning"? Yeah, we saw that too.
Quote 57
"The red-haired pilgrim was beside himself with the thought that at least this poor Kurtz had been properly avenged. 'Say! We must have made a glorious slaughter of them in the bush. Eh? What do you think? Say?' He positively danced, the bloodthirsty little gingery beggar. And he had nearly fainted when he saw the wounded man! I could not help saying, 'You made a glorious lot of smoke, anyhow.' I had seen, from the way the tops of the bushes rustled and flew, that almost all the shots had gone too high." (2.31)
The red-haired pilgrim shows his evil side by rejoicing at the thought of killing the native Africans who attacked them. He's not only "bloodthirsty" but also a hypocrite, since he "nearly fainted" at the sight of the wounded helmsman. Marlow despises him, obviously.

No. How, or even if, you connect to the Internet has nothing to do with
how you set up your local network, wireless or otherwise.
On the other hand, if you want to share the Internet over a local
wireless network, you should get a modem that has an Ethernet port.
Very few, if any, home wireless routers have USB inputs.
You could use a USB modem connected to a PC running Windows Internet
Connection Sharing and then connect a wireless router/access point to
that computer, but this arrangement has several disadvantages compared
to using a wireless router directly connected to your modem.

News 12, First at 5, August 15, 2008
HARLEM, Ga.---Winning an Olympic medal has been a dream years in the making for shot putter Reese Hoffa...but it's a dream that was postponed today as he came up short of a medal.
It was supposed to be a day to celebrate. Reese Hoffa was a favorite to at least win a medal in the shot put, maybe even gold. While everyone kept a close eye on the Internet for results, it was a family friend who broke the news with a phone call. Reese came in seventh.
"No way, you gotta be kidding me. That can't be right," says Reese's stepmother Vicki Hoffa.
It wasn't the outcome they had been hoping for, but they still couldn't be prouder of their Olympic hero. "You couldn't ask for any more of a son," beams Reese's father Steve Hoffa.
"Oh we're just so proud of him. It doesn't matter if he even made the qualifying rounds. We're proud of him, he's accomplished a lot," says Vicki.
Reese came in 22nd in the Olympic games four years ago in Athens, and his family believes he's probably already thinking about the London games in 2012. "He takes the good with the bad and that's the way it should be. You know not everything's going to turn out great. We'll be there in another four years," says Steve.
"He was probably upset with himself, knowing Reese. He's a competitor and he wanted this really bad," says Vicki.
Paralympian Scott Winkler came by the Hoffa house. Over the last few years, Reese has meant a lot to Scott. "I'm proud of him. He's actually another person I'm looking up to and its like he's leading the way for me. I want to follow in his footsteps," says Scott.
And he will, next week Scott leaves for China to compete in the same event, in the same arena. "I know he's going through pressure because right now, I'm nervous. I didn't even get up there yet. I'm not even in that country and I'm nervous" says Scott.
Now Reese's family is just eager to hear from him and tell him good job. "We just want to talk to him. We'll all be fine when we talk to him and tell him we love him," says Vicki.
He didn't win a medal, but the Reese Rooter's are still celebrating. "We're gonna party, we sure are because we're proud of him. This is Reese's day and we're going to party for him," says Vicki.
Steve, Reese's Dad said he did get to talk to Reese this afternoon and he said he seemed a little bit down, questioning what went wrong.
Steve said he tried to pick him up as much as he could saying he's still number one to everyone back home.

Most Valentine's Day celebrants plan to shop a week or less before the holiday, and many wait until Feb. 13 or 14 to make their final purchases, according to research by the NPD Group, a leading global information company.
LOS ANGELES — Consumers expect to spend slightly more on Valentine's Day merchandise this year than last year, according to a report by market research firm IBISWorld.
The report forecasts spending of $134.08 per person, compared with last year's $133.99. Total revenue for the holiday is expected to grow by 3.2%, to $20.8 billion, despite incomes and consumer sentiments remaining below what they were before the recession.
According to PriceGrabber survey on consumer purchasing decisions for Valentine's Day, 52% of Valentine's Day shoppers indicate that the economy will not have any effect on their purchasing decisions for Valentine's Day 2011.

Belladonna single features Michael Nyman
The Italian group Belladonna has released a new song "Let There Be Light" which is based on Michael Nyman's most famous composition "The Heart Asks Pleasure First" from The Piano. The single features Michael himself on piano, and is available for sale as an MP3 here http://www.amazon.co.uk/There-Light-feat-Michael-Nyman/dp/B004F9XBHQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1294286484&sr=8-1-catcorr
Art Talks - Michael Nyman - by John-Paul Pryor
Nyman With A Movie Camera is a unique visual experiment that radically resamples Dziga Vertov's fly-on-the-wall snapshot of life in Russia in 1929, and provides a glimpse into the preoccupation with human existence that drives one of our greatest living avant-garde composers. Taking Vertov's original masterpiece, Man With A Movie Camera, as the basis for his film, Nyman has frame-by-frame replaced the original images with footage from his own extensive film archive, which has been shot all over the world. Although almost a century separates the two artists, both share an interest in shooting ordinary people unawares in the hope of capturing some kind of truth, and there are stunning parallels in both their process and results. Today we preview an exclusive clip and speak to Nyman about his experiences remixing Vertov's classic film.
Michael Nyman: "Vertov's principle of shooting life caught unawares is something I subconsciously reproduce in my own work. What I generally do is have the camera watch someone for a few minutes in a kind of unbroken sequence, such as a drunken man trying to tie his tie on a train at seven in the morning, but the situation with Nyman With a Movie Camera is that I parallel and replace each and every image in Vertov's s film in the same sequence that he does – I follow his editing rhythm. The interesting thing is that in the original film there is a kind of narrative, and obviously the scenes have been mostly shot in one or two places at more or less the same time. The purpose of my film is not to present the same kind of coherent narrative that the original does – my stuff has been shot all over the world – so it does actually tend to fracture. In my archive, I found parallels with Vertov's film but I set myself a rule that I wouldn't set up a shoot just to find the equivalent. I do have little windows of the original just to show the incredible parallels between something I happened to shoot and something he shot. It's a strange attempt at coherence though, because although in many respects the film is contained by the parameters of Man with A Movie Camera, the result is a kind of incoherence. It's interesting that since I started composing music, I have always sampled and remixed the work of other composers, which in art is what the Chapmans did with Goya, and what Picasso did with Velázquez. This film is me doing that in a much larger sense visually, and with much more thrilling material."

Globe and Mail - The Man, the NYman and the Movie Camera - by James Bradshaw
Michael Nyman's career was built for this.
The British composer and filmmaker brings his Michael Nyman Band to Toronto this weekend for performances of the soundtrack he set to Dziga Vertov's seminal 1929 film Man With a Movie Camera. On Saturday, the band plays Nyman's score for Vertov's film; and on Sunday, they'll perform it again to Nyman's own scene-by-scene remake of the film, NYman With a Movie Camera, which Nyman created using images from his own archive.
Michael Nyman and David McAlmont -- Scotsman review - by Fiona Shepherd
MICHAEL NYMAN WITH DAVID McALMONT
By HIS own admission in the pre-show talk, composer Michael Nyman writes "tunes" and some of his very best were aired during this concert of two halves.
The first half featured a loud, invigorating selection of his audaciously stylised soundtrack
work for Peter Greenaway's films.
The urgency and relentless momentum of the material made great physical demands on the players but the sheer gusto of Chasing Sheep Is Best Left To Shepherds outweighed the slightly chaotic delivery, while the soprano saxophone refrain snaking insistently through An Eye For Optical Theory and the irresistible feral force of Miranda were riveting.
In the second half, Nyman unveiled a new and unexpected collaboration, forged through Facebook of all places, with the stunning yet underrated British soul singer David McAlmont, who has added his somewhat eccentric lyrics to existing Nyman works.
McAlmont arrived with bling on his fingers and a marvellous instrument to add to the mix, though one could argue that Nyman's exquisite theme from The Piano needs no adornment.
At first, on Take the Money and Run, it sounded like McAlmont would have to fight his corner, using crisp phrasing rather than his usual sumptuous delivery to stay on top of the music.
Soon enough though, his vocal melodies were dancing over the insistent strings or reclining gracefully over a tremulous piano ballad.
And, although generally less idiosyncratic than the Greenaway partnership, Nyman and McAlmont have created, with In Rai Don Giovanni, surely the only composition ever to combine the influence of Mozart and The Scissor Sisters.

The prospect of composer Michael Nyman and vocalist David McAlmont onstage, together, was a delicious one.
Nyman is best known for his soundtrack work, while McAlmont is rightly famed for his vocal acrobatics.
Saturday night's performance, part of the excellent Minimal festival, had two distinct strands. The first was essentially a Nyman hits package. What was striking was that the music has held up better than many of the movies. Firmly rooted in systems-based composition, Nyman weaves an intriguing web of compelling piano motifs over which the 11-piece band plays with considerable gusto. The opening number, Franklyn, from Wonderland, was a case in point. For all the talk of minimalism the Nyman band is, at times, reminiscent of an outdoor brass band: big, bold and gallus.
Out of context and on their own, it is easier to recognise some of the reference points which Nyman has absorbed. There were two offerings from Prospero's Books: Come Unto These Yellow Sands, over which the ghost of Gil Evans hovers, while the wonderful Miranda echoes the lyricism of Gershwin.
The second set introduced McAlmont to perform songs recorded for an album, The Glare, using his lyrics set against previously recorded Nyman compositions. While the result was occasionally underwhelming, with McAlmont's voice set deep in the mix and competing for attention with the band, when his voice took full flight, as in A Great Day In Kathmandu and The Coldest Place On Earth, the hairs on the back of your neck stood to attention. Immaculate phrasing and a voice as sweet as Curtis Mayfield's are McAlmont's calling cards, and where did he buy that bling?
