Delivery Numbers of Restaurants in Naga City
June 24th, 2009 Leave a comment Go to comments
*PAGE STILL UNDER CONSTRUCTION* but I welcome your inputs to this blog post.Naga City is fondly called the Maogmang Lugar by the residents for various reasons - food being one of them. But sometimes it gets too tiring to go to our favorite food spots because of forces both beyond and within our control - traffic, rain, good-ol'-laziness, unholy hours when hunger strikes (guilty!), emergency food for unannounced guests, and whatnot.So, for times when you're in the mood for some grub but too comfy already in your pambahay sando, shorts, and slippers - dial away!Disclaimer: The location and delivery numbers from some menus lifted from the online directory munchpunch.com may not be for Naga City. I reckon that since the restaurants are also located nationwide, the menu and prices are likely the same. However, the prices may not be up-to-date, so it is best to ask for the prices when you call.American CuisineBigg's DinerMenu:Delivery #: 473-1111 or 472-7777Delivery Hours:Website: http://www.biggsdiner.comKFCMenuDelivery #: 811-2020 or 473-2489Delivery Hours:Website: http://www.kfc.phMcDonald'sMenuDelivery #: 811-2525Delivery Hours:Website: http://www.mcdelivery.com.phYellow CabMenuDelivery #: 473-2222Delivery Hours:Website: http://www.yellowcabpizza.comChinese CuisineFilipino CuisineJollibeeMenuDelivery #: 473-4444 (Elias Angeles St.) or 472-1122 (Panganiban Drive)Delivery Hours:Website: http://www.jollibee.com.phMax's RestaurantMenuDelivery #: 475-6297 (Avenue Square) or 473-9000 (SM City Naga)Delivery Hours:Website: http://www.maxschicken.comRed RibbonMenuDelivery #: 478-4183 (Elias Angeles St.) or 871-0034 (SM Naga)Delivery Hours:Website: http://www.redribbonbakeshop.com.phTriboo GrillMenuDelivery #: 473-2323Delivery Hours:Website: - n/a -Japanese CuisineTokyo TokyoMenuDelivery #: 472-1555Delivery Hours:Website: http://www.tokyotokyo.comItalian CuisineGreenwichMenuDelivery #: 472-9000 or 473-6281Delivery Hours:Website: http://www.greenwich.com.phPizza HutMenuDelivery #: Delivery Hours:Website: http://www.pizzahut.com.phShakey's PizzaMenuDelivery #: 475-7777 (Avenue Square)Delivery Hours:Website: http://www.shakeyspizza.ph/

Elaine and Clive Chivers, from the New Forest, were shocked to receive the massive bill after they downloaded an internet dialler by mistake.
The law as it stands means that they are liable to pay the full amount.
They say they are sure other people are in similar situations, and they want to form a campaign group to appeal for a change in the law.
Mrs Chivers said: "It's an invasion of my privacy, it's an invasion of my home and it's taken a month's salary.
Her husband said he was sure there were other people who had suffered even greater losses than they had.
"There must be a lot of people out there who have had the same kind of problem.
"For people in much worse financial situations than we're in - this would be a great disaster, not just a great annoyance."
The telecoms watchdog Ofcom recently promised to look urgently at the problem of premium rate numbers, after a surge of complaints about dial-ups.
The software is often downloaded without the user's knowledge, and replaces the usual dial-up connection to internet service providers such as BT or AOL with the premium rate number.
BT say they can provide blocking to premium rate numbers if asked, and that they will block traffic to premium rates suspected of being rogue diallers.

Removing scratches from aluminum trim moldings
I purchased a certified 328i retractable hardtop. I noticed three light scratches on the aluminum trim surrounding the hardtop. I cannot catch a fingernail on them so they are very minimal but they can be seen from a distance. I tried to remove them with 409 cleaner, Meguiar's Ultimate Compound and Quixx scratch remover liquid. No luck! :cry: I was thinking of something more aggressive like fine grit sandpaper or grade 0000 steel wool but i am afraid of making it worse than it is. Got any suggestions?
New Braunfels, TX
I would replace the trim.
I am guessing that it is coated in some type of clear coating and that is what is scratched, but getting more agressive with it will most likely go through the coating (like using steel wool) and ruin it. I would start with some wet dry sand paper, 1500 and if that doesn't work, drop down to 1000 or 800, then work your way back up with 1500 then 2000 to get the sandpaper lines out and polish, but be careful, the coating is probably fairly thin.
Just start with the cheapest easiest piece to replace in case you sand through it!

This Samba de Amigo trailer starts off badly. And by "badly," we mean terribly. For the first 34 seconds, it's just a bunch of bratty kids hamming it up with some of the worst having fun acting we've ever seen. The occasional glimpse of the game and that chimpanzee from an earlier video helps a little, but it's still fairly risible.
Then, the trailer totally turns it around, instantly grasping victory from the jaws of defeat. How? Because the chimp, for some unspecified reason, starts breakdancing. Suddenly, this becomes the best videogame trailer of 2008. Hit the jump for a second video featuring the simian handing out a thrashing to (and then planting a kiss on) Dad.

PITTSBURGH, July 25, 2013 - The American Cable Association urged the Federal Communications Commission to refrain from adopting rules that would require multichannel video programming distributors (MVPDs) to provide support services specifically designed to assist customers in accessing video description or emergency information content on a secondary audio stream.
"ACA maintains that the Twenty-First Century Communications and Video Accessibility Act (CVAA) provided no direction for the FCC to impose such a requirement; there is no evidence such a requirement is necessary; and it would be exceedingly burdensome for small operators to commit the necessary resources for such dedicated customer support," ACA President and CEO Matthew M. Polka said.
ACA submitted comments (attached) to the FCC on July 23 in response to the FCC's Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (FNPRM) related to discrete additional implementation issues arising out of the CVAA's emergency information and video description rules. The FCC sought comment on whether to require MVPDs to provide support services specifically designed to assist customers in accessing video description or emergency information content on a secondary audio stream on operator-supplied navigation devices.
Rather than adopt these additional requirements, the FCC should acknowledge that its current position of encouraging covered entities to provide customer service support remains an appropriately flexible and sufficient manner in which to address this issue, ACA said.
ACA stressed that the FCC did not offer any evidence of an existing problem that its proposed requirements would address. One reason for the sparse record may be that customers of MVPDs have not needed support from MVPDs to access these features; another reason may be that MVPDs are already satisfying the needs of their customers who request support accessing these services.
Another point ACA raised was that smaller MVPDs would likely find any prescriptive customer support mandates burdensome. ACA's membership, for one, primarily consists of smaller and midsize operators of varying sizes and capabilities; it would likely be very challenging for these operators to meet the same obligations as the country's largest cable operators. The thin margins that many smaller operators operate within mean that many do not have extra resources to specifically devote for this type of support. Absent any indication of need for such dedicated support, there is little justification for imposing such burdens on smaller providers.
FCC's current
approach of encouraging MVPDs to remain generally capable of answering
questions regarding access to the secondary audio stream with respect to the navigation
devices each supports, and to provide contact information regarding
accessibility questions, is entirely sufficient and appropriate," Polka said.

Best Of :: Bars & Clubs
Where's the beefcake? Ladies 18 and up can make like Wendy's -- and get hot and juicy, indeed -- at Club Dwntwn, where the U.S. Male Revue lets 'er rip every Friday and Saturday from 8 to 10:30 p.m. And going postal never seemed like such fun. "The best of the West . . . undressed," these boys give new meaning to the term "lap" dance, licking ladies from leg to lobe. While the movie, uh, takeoffs range from hot (Dallas takes the stage -- and our breath away -- in a white Top Gun uniform) to not (the guy in the scarecrow getup? If he only had a clue . . . ), the Vin Diesel look-alike certainly knows how to fill a pair of tighty whities . . . and "Sexy Chocolate" left us more than a little curious about the contents of his wrapper. Think the best things come in small packages? Not with this male service.
One of the surprises of moving to Phoenix for the first time from some place like Los Angeles or New York is being able to have a pint of P-town's "home brew" -- Kiltlifter Scottish Ale -- on tap at a local saloon. Let's be honest, when you're a newbie transplant with some of that El Lay or Gotham 'tude, your first reaction to PHX -- not knowing the area -- might be, "Why, God, why?" But a draught of Kiltlifter, the flagship ale of the Four Peaks Brewing Company in Tempe, is enough to convince you that not only is there civilization in P-town, but it has produced a damn fine brew-ha-ha, one worthy of incessant quaffing. Kiltlifter is an award-winning, Scottish-style amber ale that uses peat-soaked malt (the same used in making Scotch) to give the beverage a smoky sweetness, accented with a touch of English hops. It's a sophisticated, refreshing drink, and Phoenicians should be as proud of it as they are of the Arizona flag.
To borrow a line from John Belushi in Animal House, now that Arizona has gotten off its keister and extended the drinking cutoff until 2 a.m., we advise you to start drinking heavily. And there's no better place to start drinking heavily than at McDuffy's Wide World of Entertainment in Peoria, which has 21 different beers on tap and at least the same number in bottles. This sleek, 13,000-square-foot sports bar is jam-packed with large-screen TVs tuned to all of your favorite athletic competitions, and then some. McDuffy's also offers off-track betting year-round, so you can lose your shirt (or win a bundle) while getting hammered. And the kitchen prepares some of the best bar food, bar none, everything from beer-battered fish and chips and roast beef sliders au jus to hand-crafted pizzas, made to your exacting specifications. Moreover, with its half-price happy hour -- and a reverse happy hour on Sundays that includes Sabbath tourneys of "beer pong" (Yahweh must love that one), McDuffy's has become a destination drinking, dining and fun zone for the entire west side. If only Belushi were still around, he'd love it. Readers' Choice: Four Peaks Brewing Company
Hey, Dancing Queen, if those shoes haven't scuffed a dance floor since disco, it's time to leave the house. Deciding where to bust your latest Beyonc moves isn't easy, but there are a few diva-worthy dance floors out there -- all of them inside the confines of The Buzz.
The Buzz is perfect for the schizophrenic dancer who's not really sure what groove to follow. The maze of bars and themed rooms surround a large dance floor lighted by hypnotic lasers and energized by scratch-happy DJs who spin everything from house to funk to hip-hop.
Save the last dance until you've perused the rest of the two-story fun bar. The Rat Pack Lounge offers a little Sinatra-inspired R&R -- perfect for rejuvenating yourself -- and the rooftop patio is essential for airing out those sweat-soaked digs of yours. Don't lounge around too long, however. The Buzz is best experienced by dancing yourself dizzy. Readers' Choice: Axis/Radius
This place would impress even the Queer Eye guys. From the opera bar to the leather couches to the jumbo shrimp appetizer, everything about Amsterdam is perfectly appointed, particularly the help -- and the clientele. You'll feel like you've died and gone to cable when you sink back with a martini (we recommend the French) and enjoy the, er, view, as well as the live piano music and frequent drag shows. For you fag hags (and boys who do the mani-pedi thing), we highly recommend "Martinis and Manicures" -- just $5 for a mani, $10 for a pedi, 7 p.m. to close, plus $5 martinis.
Don't bother asking for a "facial." It's not that kind of place. Readers' Choice: Amsterdam
Thankfully, you'll be hard-pressed to find a mullet here. E-Lounge draws patrons of all ages, but its largest draw is the twentysomething crowd. With ample, cushy couches, reasonably priced drinks, and hordes of hot women, E-Lounge is fast becoming the nightclub that local lesbians have wanted for years. The inside decor resembles a grotto inferno, with dark red brick walls, paintings of exotic, scantily clad women, and a spacious, sunken dance floor -- a perfect pit for exhibitionists, and a great eyeful opportunity for voyeurs. Add some of the Valley's hottest DJs (Domenica, Pete, and Laura B.) to the mix, and there's bound to be beautiful booty shakin' until last call -- and maybe more booty after that.

A malfunctioning electronic reservations system forced Spirit Airlines employees to check in passengers manually Wednesday morning, but Atlantic City International Airport flights all went out on time before the system was fixed early in the afternoon, officials said.
Spirit spokeswoman Misty Pinson said the Navitaire system computer outage happened overnight Tuesday. The company's website also was down for several hours Wednesday morning.
Six Spirit flights departed Wednesday morning, airport spoksewoman Sharon Gordon said. They included flights to Orlando at 6 a.m., Fort Lauderdale, Fla., at 7 a.m., Myrtle Beach, S.C., at 7:15 a.m., Fort Myers, Fla., at 7:30 a.m., Fort Lauderdale at 10:21 a.m. and Orlando at 11:42 a.m.
"From ACY's side, it was seamless. It was an interesting testimonial to human know-how," Gordon said.
"A huge kudos is deserved by our airport manager and staff in Atlantic City," Pinson said. Speaking about the carrier's workers nationwide, she added, "We are very proud of our employees for stepping up and ensuring that our customers were checked in while without an automated system."
No Spirit flights were cancelled nationwide, Pinson said.
Ben Payne, a spokesman for Navitaire corporate parent Accenture, said in a statement to media: "Overnight, a server at Navitaire required maintenance and this appears to have caused the outage of the reservations system that we maintain for Spirit. This has now been resolved and the system is up and running. We worked with the client to resolve the situation and support them with their operations in the interim, and we regret any inconvenience that this has caused for Spirit's passengers."
On Wednesday afternoon and evening, Spirit flights were scheduled to fly out of Atlantic City to Tampa, Fla., at 1:31 p.m., Boston at 2:41 p.m., Fort Myers at 4 p.m. and Palm Beach, Fla., at 5:30 p.m.

This paper presents a comprehensive study of the computation of square roots over finite extension fields.
We propose two novel algorithms for computing square roots over even field extensions
of the form $\\F_{q^{2}}$, with $q=p^n,$ $p$ an odd prime and $n\\geq 1$. Both algorithms have an associate
computational cost roughly equivalent to one exponentiation in $\\F_{q^{2}}$.
The first algorithm is devoted to the case when $q\\equiv 1 \\bmod 4$, whereas the second one handles the case when
$q\\equiv 3 \\bmod 4$. Numerical comparisons show that the two algorithms presented in this paper are competitive
and in some cases more efficient than the square root methods previously known.

Actor and filmmaker Maximilian Schell has died at the age 83. Schell was born in Vienna into a theatrical family: His father was the playwright Hermann Ferdinand Schell, his mother was the Austrian actress Margarethe Noe Von Nordberg, and his older sister was the successful actress Maria Schell.) The family fled to Zurich in the late 1930s, after the Nazis annexed Austria, where Schell wrote his first play at the age of 10, worked as a journalist, and served in the Swiss Army before deciding to devote his life to acting.
Schell made his movie debut in a German film, Kinder, Mutter Und Ein General (1955), before going to American to act in the Broadway production of Ira Levin's Interlock. American movies followed--often movies in which, like an earlier generation of European actors who had escaped the Nazis, he was obliged to play characters who were either Nazis themselves or somehow caught up in their cause.
In 1958, Schell played the commanding officer of a conflicted Nazi solider played by Marlon Brando in The Young Lions. A year later, he appeared in the Playhouse 90 production of Judgment At Nuremberg, as a young attorney called upon to represent the Nazi defendants at the war crime tribunals. In 1961, Schell recreated the role for the big-screen version of the TV play, and was rewarded with the Academy Award for Best Actor.
Around the same time, Schell's performance as Hamlet was captured in a film made for German TV. Although Schell's stage performances in the play were legendary—and he made many other, far more terrible movies in his time—this is somehow the one that wound up on Mystery Science Theater 3000.
Schell's other film acting credits include Jules Dassin's Topkapi (1964), Sidney Lumet's A Deadly Affair (1966), the Nazi-hunter thriller The Odessa File (1974), Sam Peckinpah's World War II drama Cross Of Iron (1977), Richard Attenborough's all-star World War II epic A Bridge Too Far (1977), the mad-scientist role in the Disney sic-fi adventure The Black Hole (1979), and a 1980 TV film of The Diary Of Anne Frank, in which he played Otto Frank. He was Oscar-nominated again, twice, for the film version of Robert Shaw's play The Man In The Glass Booth (1975), as a Nazi death camp survivor who is accused of being a war criminal, and for Fred Zinneman's Julia (1977), as a liaison for the anti-Nazi underground.
By the late 1960s, Schell became more interested in making his own films, and his choice of roles as an actor often showed it. He produced and starred in an adaptation of Kafka's The Castle (1968), then made his directing debut in 1969 with First Love, an eccentric adaptation of a Turgenev novella. In 1974, he enjoyed international success with The Pedestrian, an examination of war guilt that revisited some of the same arguments made by his character in Judgment At Nuremberg. In 1976, he directed the thriller The End Of The Game, and 10 years later he directed the documentary Marlene about his Judgment At Nuremberg co-star Marlene Dietrich—a project that became complicated when Dietrich, having previously agreed to sit for a feature-length interview, suddenly refused to be photographed.
In 1986, Schell starred in the TV miniseries Peter The Great; two years later, he was nominated for an Emmy for his performance as Lenin in the HBO film Stalin, starring Robert Duvall. He revealed a sly sense of humor in Andrew Bergman's 1990 comedy The Freshman, raised a family of hit men in James Gray's Little Odessa (1995), sold James Woods out in John Carpenter's Vampires (1998), sweated the end of the world in Deep Impact (1998), and in his last film role, played a legendary con man called "Diamond Dog" in Rian Johnson's The Brothers Bloom (2008). In 2002, Schell produced and directed another feature documentary about a distinguished film actress: My Sister Maria.

What is Celery?Celery is a plant. The fruit and seeds are dried or pressed into oil for use as medicine. Sometimes celery oil is marketed in capsule form. Some people also take celery juice as medicine. The ancient Greeks used celery to make wine, which was served as an award at athletic games.
Celery is used to treat joint pain (rheumatism), gout, hysteria, nervousness, headache, weight loss due to malnutrition, loss of appetite, and exhaustion. Celery is also to promote relaxation and sleep; to kill bacteria in the urinary tract; as a digestive aid and for regulating bowel movements; to start menstruation; to control intestinal gas (flatulence); to increase sexual desire; to reduce the flow of breast milk; for stimulating glands; treating menstrual discomfort; and for "blood purification."

Westmoreland deputies now subject to drug testing
Westmoreland County deputy sheriffs will join the growing number of county employees to be drug-tested in an attempt to detect use of controlled substances.
County commissioners on Thursday awarded a contract to a North Huntingdon Township company to conduct random drug tests on the sheriff's department staff.
The tests were approved last month as part of a new labor contract between the county and the union that represents the deputies.
"I'm just glad it got approved and we can move forward with it," said Sheriff Jonathan Held. "This will increase the public's trust in the Westmoreland County Sheriff's Office."
Held's office has been plagued by controversy this year involving staffing issues and alleged drug use.
Held forced the resignation of a part-time deputy earlier this year after she was arrested for allegedly using drugs outside an East Liberty department store.
Held later disclosed that a clerk, who has since left the office, had been charged with using someone else's urine for a drug test in a civil case unrelated to the sheriff's department.
The sheriff also confirmed a deputy he hired last year was charged with giving a minor alcohol in 2009 and served probation for one year. In a fourth case, a deputy was arrested for drunken driving in February.
In response to those disclosures, Held paid for drug testing of his 11-member administrative staff, including himself.
The sheriff on Thursday declined to reveal the results of those tests.
In April, commissioners approved a policy that requires all new county employees to pass a drug test before they are offered jobs.
Unionized deputies were the last bargaining unit among the county's public safety workers to agree to random drug testing. Tests already have been conducted for probation officers, prison guards and park police officers.

This paper examines how, when conducting research into human behavior, practitioners have long been attached to quantitative methodologies. It explores how the last two decades of research have increasingly brought into question the ability of researchers to be able to obtain an objective viewpoint and whether or not quantitative research has validity.
Qualitative Research
Quantitative Research
Ethical Considerations
Qualitative Research
Quantitative Research
Ethical Considerations
From the Paper:"A qualitative, naturalistic approach is used when observing and interpreting reality. For this reason, this style of is most often used when studying human relations. When measuring people's perceptions of a situation, such as an organization's culture, or in order to understand an organization's behavior, the qualitative research will allow the researcher to guide the research toward unearthing the underlying causes of human behavior in addition to simply measuring the human behavior. This research method is used when the researchers need to / want to develop a theory that will explain what was experienced. For example, a young child may avoid dark rooms as a matter of habit. His behavior may be a simply anxiety avoidance on the part of the child."

Asus presents the newest addition to the popular ZenBook range, with the classic all-aluminium body. It retains all the advantages of its predecessors – it is lightweight, very powerful, and ultra-thin, tapering to just 3 mm at the front. It also retains the iconic brushed metal design. The stylish Smoky Brown colour gives the ZenBook a unique and timeless look.
The display looks as good as you would expect from such a beautiful notebook. Its perfectly crisp 13.3" 1366 × 768 screen provides solid conditions for both work and entertainment.

Smart Gestures is a smart feature designed to replace many touchscreen functions. This allows you to use the Windows 10 operating system to the full extent even without a touchscreen.
The ZenBook UX303 lets you get connected faster with the latest 802.11ac Wi-Fi — with speeds of 867Mbit/s, it's up to three times faster than 802.11n. And Bluetooth 4.0 lets you connect your mobile devices with less impact on battery life.
Three USB 3.0 ports guarantee up to 10 times faster data transfer than older USB 2.0. And one port, equipped with ASUS USB Charger+ technology, charges connected devices up to 50% faster - even when the notebook is asleep or switched off.
The keyboard is still one of the most important notebook components. The ZenBook has the best backlit keyboard available, professionally designed and optimised for comfortable typing of ten-finger or two-finger typists alike. Its ambient-light sensor technology automatically adjusts the keyboard backlight according to ambient lighting for maximum comfort.

Weird. Is it "after 60 minutes", or is it "as the system
clock rolls over to the new hour" ?
To check if it is a memory issue, you could start a plain
infinite loop and see whether the problem happened anyhow.
Something about this situation whispers to me that it -might-
be license checking that is involved. Are you running with
a network license server instead of license installed on
that particular machine? And if so, then is there a firewall
between you and the license server? If the answer to that is Yes,
then -possibly- the firewall is expiring the license server
connection, leading Matlab to fail when it next goes to check
the license. Just a hypothesis.

Since the earliest beginnings of Shiism are located approximately within the same milieu in which Islam emerged, a lot of what can be said about influences on Islam generally speaking also applies to its Shiite branch. It was a milieu shaped by late classical political and religious culture with its superpowers, the Christian Byzantine and the Zoroastrian Sassanian Empires. Judaism and Christianity—and thus monotheism—were well entrenched in the area where Islam emerged, though polytheism was also common.
Muhammad successfully combined the figure of the emperor with that of the holy man, another stock character of late antiquity. He presented himself as a prophet, and perhaps the last one, in the line of the biblical prophets who brought the truth in its pure form after previous revelations had been distorted. Yet, Islam was also an Arabian religion that had integrated the pre-Islamic heritage of the Bedouins and southern Arabians. The combination of several sources of charismatic authority—learning, genealogy, and unusual claims—probably appealed to different communities in the late classical Middle East. While these legacies shaped all of Islam, some help to contextualize distinctly Shiite features.
Like all of Islam, Shiism is part of the monotheistic, biblical tradition with its one God and its prophets. Shiism reflects this ancestry when prophets before Muhammad are interpreted according to the same paradigm as the Imams and Husayn's martyrdom is compared to Jesus' sacrifice. The parallels between Twelver Shiite and Jewish dietary law may suggest a direct influence. Another legacy from the ancient world is the importance assigned in esoteric systems to numbers such as twelve or seven. Other traditions also had an impact on trends that existed in both Shiite and Sunni Islam. While the influence of Greek philosophy on the Muslim falasifa may be a general phenomenon, its Neoplatonic elements gained a particular importance for Shiite thought in the Isfahan school of theosophers.
The main center of Shiism in the earliest days was Kufa in Iraq, founded in 638 as a garrison town. The influence of Kufan local politics on Shiism was mostly indirect, although this remains controversial among modern scholars. The composition of the city's population and the ambitions of its leading elites regarding their place in the Islamic world determined to a certain degree the circles among which Shiism became popular, and these in turn contributed to its future shape. Thus, even though the new Islamic identity would eventually supersede the priority of old tribal affiliations, the latter were very much alive during the Umayyad period (661-750).

PN launches electoral manifesto
The PN this afternoon launched its electoral manifesto, a collection of its values and principles on which its detailed electoral programme will be based.
General secretary Paul Borg Olivier said the document in its introduction says that the PN:
-- Does not interfere in people's lives;
-- It believes in subsidiarity and tolerance, and it believes in the value of the family while respecting people's decisions to live their lives in the manner they thought fit;
-- Believes in Malta's national identity as well as its European identity;
-- Believes that the country's finances should be on a sound footing.
Its mission statement for the general election was A Secure Future - Jobs, Health Education, all of which were reliant on having a sound financial system, Dr Borg Olivier said.
Job creation was one of the core elements of the PN, he said, and the government was proud of its record in the past five years, despite the international economic problems.
The same applied for health, where the quality service was maintained free of charge. Education had also continued to improve.
Dr Borg Olivier said the document also went into detail on the electoral logo unveiled yesterday, including the PN's belief in unity in diversity.
He said the PN was consistent in its beliefs, such as its views on EU membership. The PL, in contrast, has a policy of convenience.
The PN, he said, also believed in a high quality of life for the people and would work to achieve it, such as through a better environment.
The document is expected to be approved by the PN general council on Thursday.
Questioned for a reaction on the PL's plan to reduce power tariffs, Dr Borg Olivier said the plan was being analysed but it appeared to be similar to Labour's 1996 promise to remove VAT, a promise which had actually resulted in higher taxes for the people.

Ferguson, Missouri: Hours after US President Barack Obama called for an end to the violence here, denouncing actions by both the police and protesters, Missouri Governor Jay Nixon ordered the state highway patrol to take over security from local law enforcement.
Clashes between heavily armed police officers and furious protesters in Ferguson have defined the aftermath of an officer's fatal shooting of an unarmed teenager on Saturday, and the latest moves came as federal and state officials scrambled to quell the growing crisis. Alarm had been rising across the country at images of a mostly white police force, in a predominantly African-American community, aiming military-style weapons at protesters and firing tear gas and rubber bullets.
Captain Ronald Johnson, the highway patrol official appointed by the governor to take over the response, immediately signalled a change in approach. Captain Johnson told reporters he had ordered troopers to remove their tear-gas masks, and in the early evening he accompanied several groups of protesters through the city streets, clasping hands, listening to stories and marching alongside them.
On Thursday night, the armoured vehicles and police cars were gone, and the atmosphere was celebratory. A street barricaded on previous nights was filled with slow-moving cars blasting their horns.
Kimaly Diouf, co-owner of Rehoboth Pharmacy, said the reason for the difference was simple: "Because they're not teargassing us tonight."
Captain Johnson, who is African-American and grew up in the area, said: "We're starting a new partnership today."
Criticism of the police response, already heavy because officials have refused to name the officer involved in the shooting, intensified after two journalists were arrested on Wednesday while recharging their phones and working on their articles at a local McDonald's.
Mr Nixon, appearing defensive at times as he briefed reporters in St Louis County on Thursday afternoon, did not criticise the local police but said of Ferguson: "Lately, it's looked a little bit more like a war zone, and that's not acceptable."
He said he had met with residents and listened to their concerns, and said of Michael Brown, the 18-year-old killed by the police in disputed circumstances on Saturday, that "a young man, a man not much younger than my own sons, lost his life".
"Ferguson will not be defined as a community that was torn apart by violence, but will be known as a community that pulled together to overcome it," Mr Nixon said.
Mr Obama, speaking to reporters at a hastily arranged news conference on Martha's Vineyard, where he is vacationing, pleaded for "peace and calm on the streets of Ferguson". He said he had spoken to Mr Nixon and confirmed that he had instructed the Justice Department and the FBI to investigate the fatal shooting.
The local police continued to face criticism for their refusal to identify the officer who shot Brown. On Thursday, a group identifying itself as Anonymous, the computer hacking collective, disclosed what it said was the name, but the St Louis County police said it was wrong.
Multiple national officials criticised the decision of the police in Ferguson to use military-style garb and equipment to respond to the protests. "At a time when we must seek to rebuild trust between law enforcement and the local community, I am deeply concerned that the deployment of military equipment and vehicles sends a conflicting message," Attorney-General Eric Holder said. Mr Holder called Brown's parents and promised a full, independent investigation, according to a Justice Department official.
In Chicago, Los Angeles, New York and Phoenix, thousands of protesters gathered in public squares with their hands up in gestures of surrender, chanting "hands up, don't shoot". In Miami, eight people were arrested.
Captain Johnson, walking through the streets on Thursday, was approached by Karen Wood, who had been clutching a bright green sign against police brutality.
"Do you have a minute to at least talk to, you know, a parent?" Ms Wood asked.
The captain stopped. As sweat stained his blue uniform, he clasped Ms Wood's right hand and stood, for several minutes, listening to her story.
"Our youth are out here without guidance, without leadership," Ms Wood told Captain Johnson. "It's important that they know there is an order."
When Ms Wood finished, Captain Johnson patted her right shoulder and said softly: "I thank you for your passion, and we're going to get better."
He then joined a group of passing protesters, marching with them as his eyes scanned the roadway. "I know a lot of them," he said. "Our police department, we have to be reflective of our community, and that's why we're all out here."

Note: This post originally appeared on my other site arramblings.com. Please visit ARRamblings for more of the latest Augmented Reality apps, news and tips.
Tween clothing retailer, Forever 21, recently partnered with Augmented Reality (AR) app-maker Aurasma on an in and out of store holiday activation.
Using the new F21POP app, shoppers can scan images on store window clings or on the pages of the Forever 21 magazine to reveal videos of the brand's winter collection.
The videos feature models Chanel Iman and Alexandra Spencer showing off the new clothing lines.
This may only be the beginning of the Holiday AR apps. If last year's was any indication, the level of interest and creativity by brands integrating augmented reality into their Holiday activations should be amazing this year.
Last winter really was the beginning of the widespread brand acceptance of AR that we now have. It will be very interesting to see how brands use AR in their Holiday marketing plans this year.

About the Book
Hank Sterling and Arv Hanson have a lot in common. Both work at Swift Enterprises. Both work on most of Tom Swift's major projects. Both have a lot of respect for their young boss.
But, there is single, a small issue that has plagued both of them for years: practically nobody at Enterprises—specifically people who have not worked directly with them (and even some of those)—truly understands that they do two very different things.
Hank makes patterns for all of the individual pieces that go into Swift planes, trains and—if they made them—automobiles. Arv makes all of the intricate models that sit on the shelves in Tom and Damon Swift's offices and laboratories.
Finally, during an important military project they hit on a way to help people tell them apart.
This is the story of that project and how they finally got people straight on who's who!

Thieves Forest- Ambush Site- a while later
Scar cracked his neck back and forth. Blood was dripping from the corner of his mouth. He wiped it away, looking at his hand as he did. "Damn Gold Tribe member...B*stard was tougher than I thought."
Sentry looked around the battlefield. The Ancients all stood together, lined up in perfect unison now as if they were dolls. In a way, they were. Mindless soldiers that did the bidding of the Sentinels and Lord Auron. They were loyal and always followed directions, but their lack of sentience could sometimes be a curse as well. No matter, they accomplished their tasks with usually reasonable success. Usually. This time happened not to be one of them. The purpose of this mission was to bring about the end of the thorn that was the Gold Tribe for good. Not to simply kill one member.
"What do we do now? They're getting away." Sovereign said.
"Let them run." Sentry answered. "Eventually, their day will come. Whether it be tomorrow, in a week, in a month, or even in a year. The end of the Gold Tribe is almost certain. There's too few of them now to do much."
"We need to move again." The Inferno spoke, with words that demanded attention, and respect. Sentry nodded in agreement, speaking himself. "I will go to Auron and report what happened here. Inferno, you go with Scar to Cape City. Take these Ancients with you. Crusher, you go to Albia. Frost, Deluge, and Ignitus have just quelled a rebellion there and might need some help keeping the city secure. The Gold Tribe might have lost the battle here, but there's still an Alpha Alliance army out there, and from our reports, they're coming soon."
Without another word, the Inferno already headed off. Scar nodded to Sovereign and Sentry and followed. Sentry looked back at Sovereign and spoke to him. "Keep an eye on Frost. She may be one of us, but her arrogance and pride get into her emotions too much. Keep her in line if you have to."
With that, Sentry took off. The Ancients began to slowly follow the Inferno and Scar out of the area, leaving the once filled plains empty with nothing but echoes of the dead.
Liberty Forest/Sovereign Rainforest Border
Before Zane could really get a grip on anything, he was already teleported to a new area. It was a somewhat familiar sight, having been on this path weeks before. There, he saw Noctus and Wildfire, while TrueStriker disappeared once more to go back for the others. When they arrived, Zane hoped to finally get some answers on what had happened.
"Everyone tell their part of today's ambush, don't leave out anything that might be important. Do not explode on Noctus there-" TrueStriker motioned to Noctus. "-no matter how much you might want to. He's not Roswell."
Zane looked at Noctus. From his expressions on his own face, he had no idea what had happened either. He wasn't sure if he believed him up front, but for the moment, he seemed sincere.
"No, we won't hurt him, but he owes us an explanation. Roswell betrayed us and he's the prince of his stupid forest, isn't he?"
Zane was inclined to agree. He was second in command, and yet Roswell didn't tell him anything? Before anything else about this could have been asked, Zane heard the sound of giggling, and then flat-out laughing coming from Defender. He turned to him, perplexed, and as the Golduck began to speak, Zane became more and more aware of the situation at hand. Had the plan really gone that bad? It appeared so. It appeared as if they were waiting for them the whole time. Roswell was in cahoots with the Silver Tribe from the beginning. The entire plan was just a ploy to get the Gold Tribe, and it seemed that Defender, being the one who orchestrated it, took it hard.
Really hard.
And for good reason. Zane recalled the conversation the two had merely a day ago, about his entire situation, and how a plan went bad before. This must have been extremely hard on him, and Defender seemed to crack. Ragnaros began screaming at Defender. Wildfire went up to comfort him telling him that Dark Lightning's sacrifice won't be for nothing.
"Wait, Dark Lightning?" Zane asked, standing up and turning to Lyn. It was the first time he had realized that he wasn't with them. Lyn simply shook her head, turning her back to Zane and clutching her knees to her chest. Zane looked at the others, who also hung their heads down in sorrow. He was gone. Zane abruptly sat to the ground. He didn't know what to do now. The others sat with him in silence, nothing to be heard except Defender's slow descent into madness. He was suppose to lead the others, but all he did was lead them straight into a trap. Despite it being Defender's plan, it was Zane's fault that Dark Lightning had died. What could he do now? Zane tried to imagine in his mind what 'Rey' would say. What would the former leader say in this situation? He then remembered a memory of his past, and a conversation he had with 'Rey'. Zane smiled and stood up, facing them.
"Rey once said to me that the most admirable trait we of the Gold Tribe possessed was endurance. He said that no matter what came our way, whether the toughest battle or the worst calamity, we would always make it through because we were fighting for something important. We had the endurance to see it through. He said that everything, even bad fortune like this, can be overcome by endurance. That's what we've done this whole time. That's what Dark Lightning died believing too. He knew we wouldn't just give up once he passed. There really is still hope. As long as we endure, there'll always be hope. No matter what happens. If you still follow me, we can still do this. I know we can."
"Vigil..." Calamity began. "I want to believe that, but what do we do now? The ambush failed. We have no means of getting into the Albia. The Alpha Alliance army will be crushed by those watchtowers."
"Not quite." Noctus spoke up, walking to the middle of them all. "I...don't know why Roswell did what he did. He probably had good reason to. I'm not justifying what he did. It was terrible. But I came with you guys to accomplish a mission. You may not have the thieves anymore, but you have me. I know the secret paths into Albia as well. If you still want, I can take you there, and finish what you started."
A small grunting noise was heard for a moment, and Zane turned to see Hoodhide, stirring from unconsciousness. "Ugh...I hope-I'm not gonna end up beatup likethis in every bigbattle...I'mwithya Vigil all the way..."
A Legend once told me that roleplaying is about bringing people together and celebrating creative vision.

SFO-bound plane delayed by Denver bomb threat
Published 11:58 am, Thursday, March 1, 2012
(03-01) 11:58 PST SAN FRANCISCO -- A United Airlines flight bound for San Francisco was delayed in Denver this morning after authorities were notified of a bomb threat to the plane.
Passengers on United Flight 869 boarded an alternate plane and continue their journey to San Francisco, said Jenny Schiavone, a spokeswoman at Denver International Airport.
Airport authorities received the bomb threat at 7:30 a.m. and removed baggage for rescreening. Passengers had not yet boarded and were not evacuated from the terminal, Schiavone said.
The plane was taken to a remote location of the airport, where police were searching it, authorities said.

The passengers had been scheduled to arrive at San Francisco International Airport at 10 a.m. The plane landed roughly 90 minutes later, SFO officials said.
