For the Baguio trip with my friends. I will meet them in 5 hours and I am not sure if I will be able to sleep. Too much excitement, I know. We will be there for 3 days and 2 nights but the things that I have packed are unbelievable. I am the ultimate Girl Scout.
I will run down the things at the top of my head right now. curling iron, straightening iron, DVD player, meds and vitamins, bandages, Japanese Cherry Blossom lotion (I am crazy about the scent), cover-up, and sunblock. Yes, sunblock.
Okay, I will blog from Baguio.

I have a lot of things to be thankful for and one of them is my awesome, crazy, and always-there-for- you friends. This was literally the first time we went out COMPLETE. We have Chesca to thank and of course, the ever so reliable Plurk. I could not even think of the right words to describe this night, but clearly (and as will be seen in the photos I will share), it was AWESOME.
Kudos to all. Here are the photos--the evidence of a fun-filled night!
L-R: Me, Con, Laverne, Kat, Shai, Karryl, Kandee, Chesca, and Karla. Click on the link and notice that most of us are on Plurk. See, while at Bugsy's, we Plurked and Plurked because we are cool like that.
Chesca, my sobriety sister, makes me laugh real hard. I go bonkers when she tells her stories. Karla and Laverne would just laugh when I go bonkers. According to them, I am drunken crazy by all accounts. And no, I do not drink.
Con ordered spaghetti and MEATBALL. Yes, meatball and Kat poked it. Yes, just a meatball. Shai and Kandz are my official format bloggers. I hope Shai does not go overboard with her redbull and Kandz, with her Weng-Weng. Funny, I associate Weng-Wengs with Kandz. Let's just hope that I don't go: "Chief, isang Kandz", because that would be extra weird.
The Fashionista-slash-Designer and the Mommy-slash-Beauty Queen. I could not be any prouder. I am tearing up like a Soccer Mom watching her son make a goal.
Weng-Weng, I mean, Kandz and Iced Tea, I mean, Ish. We go way back. I love you forever. An excerpt from Kandz's blog entry:
Looking back, I see the rough roads we had to take, I hear the hurtful words we had to say, I feel the pain we had to overcome. No one knew we'd get this far. If I'd be asked to go back to those times, I'd gladly do it because it was all worth it..
Con and I got new phones and we did not, in any way (because it is quite impossible to reach her for the last couple of weeks) talk about getting new ones. She is the person who knows me all too well for me to even drop a tad bit of a lie. I love her like a sister.
Me: Oh! Imagine, ten years we'll all have husbands and there will be (doing a head count, 1..2..3.. NINE), twenty of us!
Karla and Kandz were trying to let the number 20 sink in.
Me: Dalawa asawa ko, BAKIT?
We have a format. Name and surname. Deal? K.
Cheerios, Chicas!

In need of something to write about, I go to one of my favorite blogs and ended up in MyStylePill's site. Her blog is very interesting and I have fallen into buzz while reading her blog. I was thrilled to just look at the photos, enjoying myself while fighting the feeling of envy--I wish I was that thin. After minutes of complying to "open link in new tab", I got to Emerald City: OlsensAnonymous. I am such a huge fan of theirs and their style is just beyond amazing. I wish I was armed with that swagger.
This is the photo that caught my attention, hence the re-posting.

The best part of her ensemble is how she wore her watch. I love how it may fall out when fishing something from her bag. Also, notice how her accessories are randomly put on, it is brilliant! I have never been a fan of mixing gold and silver. I am kind of apprehensive about it but MK made it happen and made me think otherwise.
I better fish out all of my watches. Felt the urgent need to have them adjusted to PLUS TWO.
Million claps to the Olsen twins.
I am busy looking through the best photo album ever.

OK. He started to turn 19 two years ago and every year since then, he proclaims that he's just turned 19. We had dinner at Myron's Place, Greenbelt 5--GOOD FOOD, and headed to Bugsy's after. I can go on forever saying good things about my friends but it's 2:50am and I still have a paper to do. Bottom line is: I LOVE YOU, GUYS.
I grabbed photos from Triccie and these are some of the photos that I would like to share with you guys.
Birthday boy: Sean Go (or should I say, Sebastian?). Thanks for dinner. We love you forever.
Group photo outside Myron's Place. The food is awesome and the Red Grape Fruitshake tastes fantastic! I will upload the photos later.
Three people are missing. :\
The birthday boy with me sporting a "Harem Johphur" pants that I bought months ago. I was teased earlier that night for wearing pajamas by Franco.
The three Ts as Toni, my rock sister, puts it. (L-R: Trizia, Toni, and Triccie). Spot me channeling a Christmas tree--Moss Green eyeshadow and ultra red lipstick. I still think it is beyond rad even if I am missing a tinsel. And a star atop of my head.
This photo is taken at Bugsy's. Meet our alter egos. (L-R: Tasha, Margaux, and Cameron). Sebastian took the photo--he really exerted effort, which I believe cost him some of his brain cells when trying to figure out the names! Not too much! Good luck on the test.
I also have a habit of adjusting the time, advancing it to 4 hours. I tend to bug my friends asking what the REAL time is. Why? I want to get a feel of going home EARLY in the morning. Today, I went home at 6am.
That is all.
Thank you to the people who take the time to visit my blog and send me private messages on Multiply and Facebook! Thank you, one and all. It makes me really happy and want to blog some more! Oh yeah, 10,000+ hits! Woohoo!

With only an hour of sleep, I go to school--Pearl Drive, the place to be. I walk into Starbucks, order my usual--Iced Venti Vanilla Latte, as I wait for Jewel to arrive. I take out a cigarette, seriously a very bad habit. I people watch for 6 minutes, get bored, grab my new book, "Long For This World" by Michael Byers. I am on the 5th page.
With only an hour of sleep, I drag my ass to Teacher's Village--IPD, a foreign place to be. I walk to the Sari-Sari Store, order RC cola in plastic, as I wait for Jewel to arrive. I take out a cigarette, seriously a bad habit. I people watch 6 minutes, get bored (and annoyed--there are so many tricycles that pass by), grab my new notebook to write random thoughts. I am on the 5th page.
Goodies from Fully Booked: Notebook by Divinas Palabras and a Michael Byers Novel.

I remember the times when it was easy to say things, speak your mind without any hesitations. No care for the world because you said something that was YOURS. Eight years ago, that was our scene—my friends and I. The location of the scene: our classroom back in first year high. Speaking our minds and throwing lines at each other such as, "I hate your hair", "I don't like your boyfriend", and the like would happen on a daily basis. Cliché as it may sound… College may have separated us but the friendship never faded. Surprisingly, nothing's changed—well, except for developed body parts, which I never really experienced but let's not get into that; unknown heartbreaks that either caused shock and relief; and even death. My friends and I have been blessed with openness in our friendship. We speak our minds whether it be about weight gain and disapproved boy toys.
Although there are times when we keep things to ourselves, we never fail to resort to a hug as an alternative. We never fail, it is still our scene.
L-R: Laverne, Karryl, Shai, Me, Kat, and Kandz. Missing that night: Karla and Con.
I had this stored in my phone since Wednesday. I love you!

After what seemed like FOREVER, the cute poodle with the tacky puppydog-eyes in the window is finally ours to keep. The long months of forcing and begging our parents to get us a new pet have finally paid off and boy, was it tiring! I get to pick the name because a new pet is still part of my birthday gift (along with the bag and hopefully, another bag. HA!). I don't know what's gotten into me BUT when my mom asked me which I prioritize the most, I said A PUPPY over a new phone. We all couldn't wait to leave Greenbelt awhile to go to Tiendesitas. After visiting the store of bags of all bags, I must say, I am goal-oriented now. I've turned over a new leaf. I will save to get my hands on a Damier and a Sprouse in pink. My brother Franco thinks of the bags as BURN, his term of RIP-OFF. Although the Apricot-colored poodle, Harley is adorable, the expenses that go along with the puppy with the tacky puppy-dog eyes isn't what I expected. Nutripet costs P450, for example.
Here are some of the photos we took earlier. The rest are in my Multiply.
Welcome home, Harley!
A photo of me forcing Harley to smile for the camera.
Super Harley according to Tepang.
Thanks, Ma and Pop!
Harley's forelegs go this way whenever he's carried.
Zia and I are very happy.
Since Pop is in Quezon, we just showed Harley to him via webcam. He thinks Harley is cute. This is the conversation we had earlier tonight. Of course, Harley the wonder dog, is the topic.
Isn't Harley the cutest poodle?
Cheerios, Papitos!
In need of a Doggie101.

My Kuya is supposed to be 24 years and living.
It's been a long while since I've written entries that are, um, blog-worthy--you know, not those that start "I woke up at noon and ate lunch", "I am mad at...", and the like. And, yes, you've guessed it... it ends with "Bye!". :| I think I'm just being too mean, we all have different writing styles. I can tell if you got it elsewhere. I am watching you.
But since it is Mother's Day and my brother's birthday, I will excuse myself from blogging and for just posting photos. Forgive me. Again.
I love you. Thanks for THE BAG. I will save up to buy my own, I will buy YOU soon.
This is a photo of Pop and Ahya D.A. I miss my brother terribly.
I'll be home tomorrow!
Cheerios, Chicas!

It's been a week since I've last updated and couldn't think of a better alibi than "my dog ate my laptop". Anyway, to compensate for the missed happenings, I will post photos--unwatermarked, because I am really lazy. Also, thanks for your comments and surprisingly, e-mails, for saying good things about my blog. I got cool comments both from your e-mails and private messages in Multiply and Facebook (and no, I am not active in Friendster--I just open it to check my best friend's account). Thank you for thinking of my writing as "funny" and "interesting" (is it, really?). Anyhow, I just had to say the things above to let you know that I've read your mails and messages but opt not to respond just because... BUT I really and truly appreciate it. :)
This was taken at Bugsy's last Friday--Labor Day. Earlier that day, I met up with Jae and Toni (who I spent 12 hours with and that includes walking the streets of Ortigas Center, which is really fun btw)
Later that same night, me, my sister Zia, and my cousin Nikole made the most hilarious 25-second video in the entire world.
These photos were taken the day after in my Photobooth. Mama and I went to a wedding and had a date at Eastwood later. I love my ultra red lipstick! Although wearing it on a regular basis would be kind of weird, I think I will do that because it is beyond amazing, it makes my teeth whiter, much less like a smoker.
The other day, Mama, Zia, and I went to Starbucks and this is what I ordered--Chicken and Turkey Tuscan Sandwich. Heaven, I am craving for one since the moment I left Starbucks. I went to Starbucks, Pearl to have coffee with Diane yesterday only to find out that there are none left!
After the encounter with the best sandwich that set foot on planet Earth, I had my mom and sister drop me off at Home Depot to meet up with Toni and Jay. Buffalo Wings and Things was the best... as well as...
The cover of Superhuman by Toni and LJ Fajardo!
While my friends were downing Vodka and Wine. I was enjoying my Flamingo Drink! :)
That is it for now. Yet another shallow post by me but that is all I've got. I tried, to say the least.
Thanks, Mama for the best birthday gift ever. I love the smell of leather. What do you think of the latest Gossip Girl episode?

When it comes to pursuit of savory husk-wrapped treats, Win Raguini hopes his hungry San Francisco neighbors will band together.
Virginia Ramos, better known to hungry drinkers as the Tamale Lady, travels to different bars in the Mission and other neighborhoods peddling tamales several times a week.
She has a few usual haunts, but moves often during the night. And sometimes a tamale is something you need right now. Thus Raguini's new app, which answers the burning question: Where's Tamale Lady?
"I was in the Mission one night and really wanted tamales — really wanted (Tamale Lady's) and couldn't find her," said Raguini, a software engineer. "I'd seen her at Toronado, at Zeitgeist, so I cabbed there, but she wasn't there. I was pretty mad. Someone (always ) knows where she is but doesn't have a way to tell everyone."
Now, generous-hearted tamale fans — after they've had their own fill — have away to tell the world where Ramos is stationed for the time being.
The app allows users to pull up a list of the 20 bars closest to their current location to limit check-ins to the immediate area. They can check Tamale Lady in to one of those bars, which updates the app for all users and also tweets an update to the Twitter account @tamaleladyshere.
(Theoretically, someone could check her in even if she's not nearby, but Raguini hopes a shared love for tamales will prevent false postings.)
Raguini, 32, came up with the idea months ago, but it wasn't until he needed a project for an all-day hackathon recently that he sat down and made the app, he said.
While he awaits approval from the Apple Store, Raguini has been in touch with Ramos' son but hasn't had the official nod from Tamale Lady herself. He hopes she won't mind the extra business.
"I'll keep it up as long as people find it useful and as long as she doesn't get mad at me," he said.

The stunning coastline of Cardigan Bay has the largest population of dolphins in Europe and, on National Dolphin Day, is the best place to spot one. It boasts more than 60 miles (96km) of coast, 30 beaches and a bottle nosed dolphin population of more than 250.
Bottlenose Dolphins grow to around 4 meters in length and can weigh more than 400 kilos.
They live for more than 40 years and produce only one calf in three years. They cruise at around 10km / hour with a maximum speed of 40km / hour.
Trips depart from New Quay on the west coast of Wales.
Bottlenose dolphins
are present all year round, along with the Harbour porpoise who is
also a frequent visitor to the area. The coastline between New Quay
and Cardigan has always been noted for its marine wildlife
which also includes grey seals. During the summer months sun fish
are also regular visitors.
It is possible to spot dolphins almost anywhere as you explore the beautiful coast of Cardigan Bay. The best places to observe them are:
Remember dolphins are wild free ranging animals so there is no guarantee of a sighting. May to November are the best months. The best times being early morning, evening and immediately after high tide.
The New Quay Dolphin Monitoring Group have been observing dolphins in order to learn how they use their remarkable sound faculties as a sensory tool, a hunting weapon and a means of communication. Please download a copy of the Ceredigion Marine Code [PDF] which details how to protect Cardigan Bay dolphins, seals and porpoises.
From the observations made in New Quay Bay, the bottlenose dolphin population appears to co-exist with groups of Atlantic grey seals and harbour porpoises using the same habitat.

Crisis averted: Cliff bill clears
Washington just barely avoided plummeting off the fiscal cliff.
With a rare late-night vote on New Year's Day, the House passed a bipartisan compromise to extend the majority of Bush-era tax cuts, delay automatic spending reductions for two months and fix a number of expiring tax and spending provisions. The final vote was 257-157, passing with 172 Democrats and 85 Republicans.
Story Continued Below
( Also on POLITICO: The eight senators who voted 'no' on cliff deal)
The climactic final vote capped a wild, topsy turvy few days of action on Capitol Hill that exhibited both savvy deal making and the paralysis that has marked the entirety of the 112th Congress. In the final analysis, Republicans were forced to swallow the first major tax increase in two decades, and Barack Obama was able to at least partially fulfill a campaign promise of raising taxes on upper income Americans.
Democrats counted legislative victories in extending unemployment benefits, Obama's stimulus tax cuts and exacting higher marginal income rates on high earners. Republican victories included a permanent fix to the alternative minimum tax and estate tax.
( PHOTOS: 15 side effects of going over the cliff)
Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio), who struggled to sell the deal to conservatives, could not conjure up support from a majority of Republicans who refused to support a tax hike.
And in the clearest sign of a split in House Republican leadership, Boehner cast a rare vote in favor of the bill, while Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) and Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) opposed the measure. House Budget Chair Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) voted for the accord.
Obama said Tuesday night he would sign the bill, as what he hoped will be part of an eventual larger agreement on new revenue and budget cuts.
( Also on POLITICO: Obama's statement on fiscal cliff deal)
"We all recognize that this law is just one step in the broader effort to strengthen our economy and broaden opportunity for everybody," Obama said late Tuesday at the White House. "Unfortunately, there just wasn't enough support for that kind of large agreement in a lame duck session of Congress."
However, he warned Congress that there could be "catastrophic" consequences for the global economy if there was not an agreement reached on the debt ceiling.
"While I will negotiate over many things, I will not have another debate with this Congress over whether they should pay the bills for what they've racked up," Obama said. "We can't not pay bills that we've already incurred."
The vote came just in time before further damage was done to the nation's economic confidence — there was concern that the world's financial markets would be spooked by Washington inaction when markets reopen Wednesday.
( Also on POLITICO: Dems win key tax fight)
The tax and spending package is also notable for what it doesn't do: It doesn't address the debt limit, entitlement reform or deficit reduction in any significant way. Those battles lie just two months ahead, when Congress will debate raising the nation's borrowing authority.

I ran a solid race and finished 4/5 minutes back from my friend and Montrail athlete Eric Grossman (above left) for second place overall in 4:34 and change. The course is a two loop course and I came through the first loop just as Eric was leaving the aid station; somewhere around 2:14. We ran close together for the first climb, then Eric handily dropped me on the next downhill stretch never to be seen again until the finish line. I ran well on the second lap, but knew I was nowhere near the even splits that it would take to catch Eric. I was happy with the race and to finish somewhat closely behind Grossman. Anytime someone is beaten by Eric and it's only a "few" minutes, consider it a good day!
Check out results and pictures HERE and some photos that Kadra took HERE.

Hi, every time I'm installing diffmerge, I have to go to tools-> preferences and uncheck "Automatically Advance to Next Change after Apply Change Command". Is there a way that I can access the file in which this information is saved so that I can just reuse my preferences file?

On which operating system are you installing?
If on a Mac, the location is /Users/username/Library/Preferences and the file is Sourcegear DiffMerge Preferences.
If on Windows, you aren't copying a file, but instead would have to make a registry change, which won't save you any more time than setting it in the software.

After you make a change, you can find a ".SourceGear DiffMerge" file in your home directory. That has the DiffMerge settings.

BRYANT, Ark., June 20 (UPI) -- This sounds like a close encounter with a blurred mind...
An Arkansas man was arrested and charged with driving while intoxicated and disorderly conduct after he allegedly harassed a couple in a car because he believed they were cruising around in a spaceship. He also thought the driver was an alien.
When James Bushart was arrested, police allegedly found methamphetamine and a pipe that was used to smoke meth.
The alleged victims called police after Bushart began following them around and then pulled up in front of their Plymouth Prowler to demand that the "alien take his spaceship back to where they came from." Bushart is also accused of making threatening gestures.
"That was my biggest problem with what was going on was how upset he was. I guess in reference to the vehicle was the only thing I could think," driver Jay Ward told FOX 16. "I was a little upset about that mostly because I also had a passenger with me that was concerned for her safety as well."
According to the police report, the 44-year-old was shaky and talking to himself while performing field sobriety tests. He also said he was interested in the Plymouth because "it looked like a futuristic machine" and later told police that "he was a very big deal and had 100,000 Asian flowers."

Fishing on the appropriately named Knot Kiddin' in the Brunswick Islands Saltwater Classic Saturday, David Mason's crew landed the winning catch: a 48.70-pound king mackerel.
"That is a big king mackerel," said Hampstead resident Bill Collins, upon whose fishing line the fish struck.
The catch also paid dividends in prize money. The Knot Kiddin' crew of Collins, Mason, Matthew Collins and Zachary Mason earned $28,260.

Written by Grant Jackson from NPR
Trumpeter, pianist and composer Arturo Sandoval is one of Cuba's best-known musical exports. He's won multiple Grammys, including one for Best Large Jazz Ensemble Album in 2013, and his life inspired the film For Love or Country: The Arturo Sandoval Story, starring Andy García. On this episode of Piano Jazz, Sandoval performs his original tunes "Surena" and "Romantico," as well as Johnny Green's "Body and Soul," with host Marian McPartland.
Sandoval was born on Nov. 6, 1940 in Artemisa, a small town outside of Havana, Cuba. He was a protégé of Dizzy Gillespie, the first jazz musician to incorporate Latin influences into the American idiom. Sandoval was a founding member of the landmark group Irakere, which won the 1978 Grammy for Best Latin Album. In 1981, he left Irakere to start his own band, and from 1982 to 1984 was consecutively voted Cuba's Best Instrumentalist. With a total of 12 Grammy nominations and three wins, it's easy to understand why.
Sandoval defected to the U.S. in 1990, and was granted political asylum in July of that year. Though travel was strictly regulated at this time in Cuba, especially for a family, Sandoval jumped at a chance while touring with the Dizzy Gillespie Orchestra to defect — he had been granted travel outside of Cuba with his wife and teenage son.
Sandoval is a tireless music educator who helped establish the music department at Florida International University, where he is tenured. He has three trumpet endowments associated with him; one is at FIU, while the second and third are at the Universities of Idaho and Central Oklahoma. He's also lectured internationally, including at the Conservatoire de Paris and the Tchaikovsky Conservatory in Moscow.
His struggles in Cuba have given him the drive to succeed, while helping others to learn from jazz. He specializes in high notes, lyrical ballad improvisation and, of course, virtuoso technique. Sandoval entered a new phase of his career in 2013 by releasing his first piano album, My Passion for the Piano, composed of standards and original compositions. On this installment of Piano Jazz, Sandoval proves to McPartland that his talent on the trumpet crosses over to the piano.
Originally broadcast on Oct. 29, 2002.

December 11, 2009. Senator Maria Cantwell (D-WA) introduced a bill today that is a much better approach to reducing climate change than the cap and trade bill circulating in the Senate. Her bill, which she co-sponsored with Senator Susan Collins (R-ME), uses cap and dividend to reduce climate emissions and avoids the pitfalls and boom-and-bust cycles inherent in carbon trading. (Peter Barnes proposed this idea in YES! Magazine in 2001).
Why is this a better idea?
First, polluters would pay for the right to pollute; they would buy carbon emissions permits at an auction, instead of getting the majority of them for free. This sends the right market signal—emit carbon, and you'll have to pay.
Carbon permits would be required at the point where fossil fuel energy enters the economy. The number of greenhouse gas emissions allowances is reduced regularly by amounts that businesses can plan for. There are no offsets—these would be real reductions in climate changing emissions.
Second, American families strained by the poor economy would benefit. Each person would get an equal share of the proceeds from the auction. It works like the oil trust funds in Alaska, where each resident gets about $1,300 per year for their share of the state's oil royalties. As long as our economy remains dependent on fossil fuels, prices for energy and energy-intensive products will rise. But the rebate will offset those price increases—Cantwell says it will mean most families are in about the same place financially. Those who buy carbon-free energy, drive energy efficient cars, or buy products produced locally with little fossil fuels will come out ahead, though, while those who drive gas guzzlers will pay more through the higher price of fuel. So it sends the right signal to consumers, too.
Politically, it should go over much better than cap and trade. Who wouldn't like to get a check in the mail each month that represents your share of the carbon auction revenues? Three quarters of the revenues would be distributed equally to all Americans. The other quarter will go to clean energy research and development, for projects that reduce non-CO2 greenhouse gas emissions, and for aid to communities and workers who need special help making the transition to a clean energy economy.
And here's the frosting on the cake. Instead of cap and trade, which would set up a massive Wall Street system of buying and selling carbon, this auction is for energy producers and importers, only—not brokers and speculators.
What's not to like? This is a far better proposal than the cap and trade proposals that has Wall Street salivating. One caveat, though. Carbon reductions proposed in the bill are probably not enough to avert dangerous climate change. But if there is flexibility to step up the reductions as the science get firmer and the public backing grows, this approach could be just right.

I recently used your company to have some locks changed at a couple of my properties. A very reasonably priced job carried out and no fuss! Cheers Mohammad
Hi Mohammad, thanks for the feedback and we do our best to make life hassle-free for our customers.
Really impressed with the work done at my home. The locksmith did a grand job of replacing my garage lock, the locksmith arrived on time. Also carrying out a free security survey, which was fantastic as I had a faulty lock on my front door. The locksmith changed it there and then which also came with a 5 year warranty, which is very reassuring. In total I Paid £99 to get x2 locks replaced which is a fantastic price for the standard of the work carried out. Shanaya
Hi Shanaya, thank you for leaving us your review and we're pleased that you were happy with the price. Tom
I was walking along in the shopping centre when some youth snatched my handbag after I tried my best to fend him off. Sadly it hasn't turned up yet 🙁 I called your company and within half an hour they arrived at my property. They soon got me back in so I could start to cancel bank cards etc which was a relief. Charlotte
Hi Charlotte, that must have been a frightening experience, we hope your handbag is returned to you promptly.
I used your company to have my filing cabinet locks changed. The man was very attentive and knew his stuff! Many thanks Diana
Hi Diana, thanks for the review and we're glad the engineer impressed you.
I received excellent service and work from this company. I had a problem where my lock was not working properly. As you can imagine this was very distressing as I was about to leave the country for a few weeks. I contacted the Low Cost Locksmiths and they were able to come out that day and realign my lock. The engineer did a very good job and was very professional and knowledgeable in his work. Thank you

Nick Denton, founder of Gawker, has been working on a project he hopes will disrupt the commenting system on his network.
Actually, he hopes it will disrupt online journalism completely.
Denton is creating a platform that will turn commenters into featured writers. Instead of being an article's afterthought, Denton is creating a platform that will turn readers' opinions into group discussions. They will be able to control who's in the discussion, and who's left out.
Denton is still vague about the details of his new system. He tells Gigaom:
"I want to take all of those people and I want to have them in the discussion. I want to see the story evolve and see the rebuttal, and the rebuttal to the rebuttal. "your rebuttal will be given as much prominence as the original piece — we will respect you, we will protect you from the mob and we will let you say your piece. It's great because it adds drama, and it keeps our writers honest."
"He said he even wants to take the discussion around a story that editors at Gawker engage in via private IMs and chats and make all of that public, as a way of sparking discussion," Gigaom writes.
It's hard to imagine what the platform will look like. It most sounds like Branch, a startup backed by two of Twitter's co-founders that hosts online discussions between thought leaders.

I wonder what will become of those poor individuals whom currently have placed their hopes of recovery in the hands of narCONon of Georgia? Does this raid open the door for the DCH to actually step in and close the facilities doors until the investigations have concluded?
Would that not be in the interest of public safety?
This is Miscavige's worst nightmare. Mary Rieser and anyone else at Narconon Atlanta will likely be thrown under the bus if ONLY because Miscavige figures they are so tainted that ANYTHING done to try to help defend them will blow back on the church and him because this whole Narconocalypse is being watched SO closely by the media.I suspect his biggest concern right now is that this is a breach in the wall that has held back law enforcement/govt agencies from conducting any criminal prosecutions of anything related to Scientology in the US for decades. Not since the GO raids has anything like this happened. Will this small crack widen and some other government agencies will decide they can get through the breach in what has been an impenetrable fortress for more than 30 years?Miscavige sits on the horns of a real dilemma — what do you do?Dump Narconon to avoid being associated and as a result have the government win easy convictions and embolden other agencies,orJump in and defend them with all he's got, become totally identified with Narconon, and still lose because the truth is that Narconon has been utterly criminal and deserve to be convicted? And in that case, the Department of Justice and others will know the church is no longer invicible.Damned if you do, and damned if you don't. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.I certainly hope there are some people in the DOJ who are following Tony Ortega's stories. Behand the apparently unbreachable wall is a cesspool. And the cesspool isnt just Narconon. Their sewage just happened to seep out first — it tends to happen when people die under your care. I hope it doesnt have to go that far before anyone decides to take on the church itself.
Mary Rieser has still been working with Narconon, though wasn't at the facility today.
I had reports from different people this week that they had dropped from about 80 clients down to about 20 and that they were trying to borrow money from lending agencies. Then this hits unexpectedly and all their files and computers are gone. Of course the clients and their families will find out. They will try to "run damage control" and see if they can transfer clients to other Narconon facilities (I don't see how they could actually operate now). The remainder will simply leave or go to another treatment center, but if they pre-paid for the program then Narconon will have to issue their funds back. GA doesn't have the money to give back to them, so it will have to be borrowed from Arrowhead somewhere.
Depending on what documents were taken in the raid, they may have too many holes in their records to keep DCH off their case if they try to stay open. How many of the students (or their families) and staff will get spooked by this and leave? Some may be stuck there but others might leave at this point.
Yes, this is a time of joy for us here!
Happy dancing on narCONon behind bars!

ANKARA, Turkey, March 1 (UPI) -- U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry Friday admonished Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan for calling Zionism "a crime against humanity."
"We not only disagree with it, we found it objectionable," Kerry told reporters Friday in a joint news conference in Ankara with Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu following a meeting to discuss the crisis in Syria, Turkey's neighbor.
Kerry said he would raise the issue directly with Ergdogan, who at a U.N. event Wednesday in Vienna, said, "As with Zionism, anti-Semitism and fascism, it is inevitable that Islamophobia be considered a crime against humanity."
Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu called the remark "dark and mendacious."
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon's office said Ban heard Erdogan's speech at a U.N. Alliance of Civilizations Forum through an interpreter and called it "unfortunate that such hurtful and divisive comments were uttered at a meeting being held under the theme of responsible leadership."
Turkish-Israeli relations have been strained since May 2010 when Israeli troops killed nine Turkish activists aboard a flotilla of aid ships trying to break through Israel's naval blockade of Gaza.
"We have never been hostile against a nation, against a state, against an individual," Davutoglu told reporters Friday. "However, if we need to speak about a very hostile practice, I would refer you to the killing of nine civilians on open waters."
Kerry was meeting Friday with Davutoglu, President Abdullah Gul and Erdogan although observers said it wasn't clear whether the meetings will help the NATO allies narrow their differences on Syria, with Turkey preferring a more aggressive approach to oust President Bashar Assad than the United States, the Hurriyet Daily News said.
A few days before Kerry's arrival in Turkey, Erdogan said, the United States "has not assumed responsibility yet. What we can discuss about and to what extent?"
Kerry announced during a "Friends of Syria" meeting in Rome Thursday the United States would commit $60 million that would be sent directly to the Syrian rebels, a first. State Department officials said the aid would be used to help local councils and communities in liberated areas in Syria, provide basic goods and services and "fulfill administrative functions including security, sanitation and education services."

A 75-year-old woman presents with a chief complaint of a 1-month history of an asymptomatic blistering eruption on the lower extremities. For this problem she was briefly hospitalized and treated for cellulitis and thrombophlebitis, but new lesions continued to appear.
Non-inflammatory bullae on the leg
On examination you observe a solitary, tense, bulla on the leg, which appears to be arising from normal skin. A crusted papule below it represents a ruptured bullous lesion (Figure). The extremitiy is not edematous.
Differential diagnosis
Skin conditions to consider are those that produce bullous lesions on the leg.
INSECT BITE REACTION may occur on the leg and can be associated with a vesicle or bulla. However, the base of the lesions are almost always red, indicative of the significant inflammation which occurs with these bites.
DERMATITIS HERPETIFORMIS is a bullous disease which may appear on the legs. However, the lesions are typically smaller, the lesions always have a red base, and there is profound pruritus in all cases.
PEMPHIGUS VULGARIS is a bullous disease, the lesions of which may arise from normal skin. However, in 95% of cases the oral cavity is involved and is usually the location where the lesions first occur.
STASIS DERMATITIS occurring on the lower extremities can produce non-inflammatory bullae, which are the result of edema which extrudes through the epithelium. The absence of edema in the extremity rules out this diagnosis.
BULLOUS PEMPHIGOID is the correct diagnosis. This is an autoimmune disease which preferentially occurs in the elderly, where vesicles and bullae are formed, occasionally localized to
the lower extremities.
Because of the localized nature of the disease, the patient was treated with topical corticosteroids alone, which partially controlled the problem.
Diagnostic pearl
Consider bullous pemphigoid in a patient with non-inflammatory vesicles or bullae localized to the lower extremities.
Dr Levine is in the private practice of dermatology in Tucson, Ariz.

Florida court rules cellphone search without a warrant is unconstitutional
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – The Florida Supreme Court on Thursday ruled that a police search of an arrested person's mobile phone without a warrant is unconstitutional.
The court ruled 7-2 in a case out of Jacksonville, overruling the 1st District Court of Appeals.
But the majority opinion, penned by Justice R. Fred Lewis, noted it applies specifically to searches after the cellphone has been "separated from the person arrested."
"Our decision is narrowly limited to the legal question and facts with which we were presented, and we are confident that law enforcement will understand the limited scope of our holding," it said.
Officers rightly took the cellphone of the defendant, Cedric Smallwood, while he was being detained in the back of a patrol car, the majority said.
But "a warrant was required before the information, data, and content of the cellphone could be accessed and searched," according to its opinion.
The dissenters, Chief Justice Ricky Polston and Justice Charles T. Canady, noted that four federal appeals courts have ruled that searching a cellphone found on someone arrested is "within the proper scope of a search (after an) arrest."
"The contrary view adopted by the majority here holds the potential to work much mischief in Fourth Amendment law," according to the dissent. The Fourth Amendment protects against unreasonable searches and seizures.
The majority's ruling was hailed on both sides of the political spectrum in Florida.
"The intimate details of our lives are on our cellphones, including matters that go far beyond what the police may be investigating and have any interest in," said Howard Simon, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Florida.
"The police should not have the right to rummage through our lives without limits set by a court as specified in a warrant," Simon added.
State Sen. Joe Negron, a Stuart Republican, called it "an affirmation of the right to privacy." This year, Negron shepherded a bill -- later signed into law by Gov. Rick Scott -- that limits Florida law enforcement agencies' use of drone aircraft.
"Our state constitution has a specific provision in it that protects privacy," he said. "I would support a state standard being higher than the minimum requirements."
Two bills (HB 797 and SB 846) submitted this legislative session sought to put into law that cellphones couldn't be searched without a warrant. They both passed through committees, but didn't make it to either floor.
Smallwood was arrested and charged in a January 2008 convenience store robbery.
A police officer took his cellphone and went through the photos on it, finding pictures of Smallwood and his fiancee holding a bundle of cash and one of a "black and silver handgun next to a fanned-out stack of money," the opinion said.
The defense argued that although prosecutors later got a warrant before the trial to use the photos as evidence, Smallwood had a reasonable expectation of privacy in the information stored on his cellphone.
The police "search was not conducted for the purpose of preserving evidence," the court said, nor could Smallwood have used the phone as a weapon.
Smallwood was later convicted on charges of robbery and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. He was sentenced to a total of 65 years.
"Despite the presence of evidence of guilt, we have no choice but to hold that Smallwood is entitled to a new trial because there is no reasonable possibility that the improperly admitted photos did not contribute to his conviction," the court wrote.
The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that searches at the time of arrest are OK without a warrant, "even if it is unlikely that the arrestee has a weapon or evidence related to the crime on his person," the court said.
But that was before the advent of mobile phones, many like "interactive, computer-like devices," and not "static, non-interactive container(s)," the Florida Supreme Court opinion said.
"The most private and secret personal information and data is contained in or accessed through small portable electronic devices," the opinion said. "Indeed, many people now store documents on their equipment that also operates as a phone that, twenty years ago, were stored and located only in home offices, in safes, or on home computers....
The case is Smallwood v. Florida, No. SC11-1130.

As I mentioned before, Anchor Distilling recently reprinted the 1891 edition of "Cocktail Boothby's American Bar-Tender".
As someone who is somewhat involved in the bartender trade, I always enjoy going through old books and reading the advice that appears. Usually, I am amazed at how little has changed. How valid pieces of advice contained in a book from 1891 can be 118 years later.
So I thought I would go through Boothby's "Ten Commandments" for bartenders one by one and see which ones still make sense for the 21st Century.
V. When going off watch always dry and polish all the glassware and tools which you have used on your watch, and see that everything is in its proper place, so that your relief can work to advantage as soon as he arrives at his post.
You've had a killer shift and are dead tired. Just shooed the last of the hangers on out the door. Rousing yourself to do the closing cleaning tasks, well, can be a challenge.
But if you don't your replacement, or the next day's opener, is going to be in a world of pain, spending the first portion of shift cleaning sticky bottles and running around looking for supplies.
It's professional courtesy, pure and simple, to do your best to make sure that your station, and the bar, is clean and in decent shape to do business after you have left.
Rouse yourself and remember that kindness given is usually returned.

LOS ANGELES – Just a month ago, UCLA walked off the court in Tempe having been thoroughly exposed by Arizona State. Fresh off its biggest victory of the season at Arizona, the Bruins' 18-point loss to the Sun Devils was an unabashed disaster, setting off a string of three losses in five games for the Bruins.
But with just three games remaining in the Pac-12 slate when the two teams' met Wednesday, the stakes were decidedly higher, and the game looked unquestionably different.
After losing the rebounding battle by 20 rebounds the last time around, the Bruins significantly narrowed that gap on the boards this time around, collecting 41 rebounds to Arizona State's 42. And with a noticeably more motivated effort on both sides of the ball, it was UCLA that won when it counted most, downing the Sun Devils, 79-74, in overtime.
The victory vaulted the Bruins into a tie for first place in the Pac-12 with Oregon with only two weeks of the regular season remaining.
UCLA's offensive effort was bolstered by a monster performance from its three freshmen, as Shabazz Muhammad, Kyle Anderson, and Jordan Adams combined to score 64 points on 21 of 42 shooting from the field. All three went on their own individual scoring tears throughout Wednesday's game, as Muhammad tallied individual runs of 5-0 and 8-0 in the first half against the Sun Devils, while Adams and Anderson both separately put together runs of eight points each in five minutes or less.
Muhammad, proved to be UCLA's most devastating weapon as he scored 20 points in his first 25 minutes on the court.

An ox that lived on Green Mountain College's farm and was put down amid an outcry over the school's decision to process it into meat will be not used for food.
The College says that euthanizing the animal made the meat inedible. It also says because the ox was receiving medication for an injury, the meat was not fit for human consumption.
The 11-year-old ox, named Lou, and another ox were retired this summer from the college's farm. The school had planned to turn them into beef to be served in the dining hall in keeping with its emphasis on sustainable agriculture.
But animal rights activists had wanted the oxen spared and found a sanctuary for them.
The college says the other ox will stay at the farm.

Inspiration: Virb Profiles
I really don't understand why virb isn't more popular. It offers everything myspace does plus a lot more. It's so easy to design the page even with only little knowledge of css. You get widescreen videos, flickr and twitter integration. People are probably over stimulated with all these sites and don't want to have another one of them. Maybe this will change their mind. I've compiled a list of 14 great virb designs which I want to share with you.
