We want to welcome foreigner volunteers in our orphanage Home and school for long or short periods of time. It is possible for volunteers to sleep outside the orphanage where we hire apartment (Volunteer room) or with local family. Volunteers can take breakfast, lunch and dinner with children in orphanage but sometime ,if volunteer want to eat outside he/she must manage him/herself. It is very helpful to make a donation for these services. This can be discussed with Kapil and you can find an agreement. The running of POSSIBLE NEPAL is aided by the help of Nepali and international people. The volunteers use their specific skills to help in, and in the shelter as careers for the children. Some of our volunteers also assist us by purchasing pencils,pen, textbooks, clothes and foods for children as well as orphanage need some support to operate it as like electricity /water internet bills and staff salary , as well as organization special events such as birthday parties. POSSIBLE NEPAL respect all of our volunteer and interested person. volunteers can teach in the school.Work in social media is other responsibility of volunteer if they are free and interested to work.
Accomodation Volunteers are needed throughout the year, for short or long periods of stay. Currently the shelter has a volunteer room, which can accommodate two people. If there are more than two volunteers at the time of your stay we can arrange for you to stay in a Nepali family's house or in a hostel. As a volunteer you are provided with a big Nepali breakfast and dinner (Dhal Bhat - rice, dhal and a vegetable curry), and a small snack for lunch. Free internet 24 hours and 24 hours hot and cold water in bathroom. Possible Nepal does not charge a fee for your volunteer services, however a small contribution is required for food, Accommodation and electricity and operate orphanage as it has no any regular support.

I had an overall amazing time and experience with Possible Nepal, the kids are truly the most hardworking, funny, playful and at times serious I have ever had the pleasure to meet. They have a set routine that you join in with and you'll find it strange at first that Sunday is a school and work day. But there are some areas to improve upon for volunteers for example the sleeping accommodation you will share with bed bugs not the nicest of things but remember you're there for them not for you. Be prepared for power cuts and the wifi dropping it's all part of life in Phutung.
Unfortunately it wasn't a good experience and I left the second day. Since the beginning the host was asking me for money as donation, it wasn't written when i applied, but he insisted the whole first day, so I gave it. The first day in the orphanage with the kids was really good, but the second day, that I was supposed to teach english at the school, the host left and told me to negotiate with the principle to give some classes, but he didn't know I was coming to teach, so I waited at school for hours without having a class or explanation, and the host didnt help. It was so unorganized!
Volunteering for Possible Nepal was one of the greatest experiences in my life. I cannot deny that it was hard for me at first, but believe me, these kids are so smart, intelligent and the most importnat, polite.
My job as a volunteer was to walk the kids to and from school, help with their homework, play together at their freetime and showing them movies on my laptop, and they liked the movies very much!
Possible Nepal is a great place to volunteer for. They need each hand that can help to raise these children in an appropriate way, and if you already applied, you'll have so much fun!

The Low Down
Tyne kept her child a secret from his father until she needed a good lawyer. Becoming a family again is all well and good, but I could not make myself like Tyne.

Back Blurb
Sixteen years ago, Tyne Whitlock cut all ties to her past and left town under the shameful shadow of a teenage pregnancy. Now her fifteen-year-old son is in trouble with the law and she is desperate for help. But reaching out to high-powered attorney Lucas Silver Hawk will tear open the heart-wrenching past in ways Tyne never imagined. Forced to return to the Delaware Indian community where Lucas was raised, Tyne and Lucas are tempted by the heated passion that consumed them as teens. Tyne rediscovers all the reasons she found this man irresistible, but there are scandalous secrets waiting to be revealed, disgraceful choices made in the past that cannot be denied. Love is a powerful force that could heal them both--if the truth doesn't rip them apart.
What I LIKED about this book.
Lucas works hard to make up the time he lost with his son. He has reasons to be angry with Tyne but doesn't let his anger get the better of him.
What I DISLIKED about this book.
Full Review
I would like to start of by saying the author did a great job creating her characters. Love them or hate them,
an author that can make you feel something for the characters has succeeded. Tyne, I do not like this woman. If she had chosen to reveal her son to his father for any other reason than she needed a lawyer, I might have liked her. His existence has been a secret from his father up until he became a juvenile delinquent. I fixated on her and that was the end of it. The book has a lot of emotion and if you enjoy the secret baby trope, I recommend giving this title a read. For me, it was as enjoyable.

Michael Chandler: If Eddie Alvarez Stays with Bellator, He'll Get a Rematch
"Eddie and I did put on a great fight," Chandler told the Sherdog Radio Network's "Savage Dog Show." "It's definitely [a fight] the fans want to see, so there's no doubt that it will happen again. A rematch will happen if Eddie stays with Bellator."
Alvarez has one fight left on his Bellator contract. He has asked for another crack at Chandler, who took his lightweight title last November via rear-naked choke in the fourth round. The fight was a barnburner, but a rematch doesn't look likely, at least not anytime soon.
According to Alvarez, Bellator CEO Bjorn Rebney told the former champ he will have to win another tournament to get a shot at Chandler's title. Alvarez isn't interested in that route, though. If he can't fight Chandler next, he wants to start negotiations and either re-sign with Bellator or move on to another promotion.
For his part, Chandler is game for a rematch but doesn't sound especially eager for it to happen.
"The biggest thing about rematches is, for the guy who wins, it doesn't necessarily do much for your career," Chandler said. "Right now obviously there's criticism on both ends of it. There's people that are going to say I definitely beat Eddie decisively. There's a lot of people who say I got lucky and I'd lose nine times out of 10. It's one of those things where you're kind of dealing with that kind of stuff and the fans and whatever, but it doesn't necessarily do anything for my career. Beating him once is enough, but at the end of the day, we are an entertainment sport and our job as fighters is to train our butts off so we can be aggressive and put on great fights."
The first Alvarez-Chandler fight was a great one. Whether a rematch will happen remains to be seen, but in the meantime, Chandler will be back in the cage Friday against Akihiro Gono at Bellator 67. His title won't be on the line against the veteran Japanese fighter, who hasn't won since March 2010.
"I'm definitely not underestimating him or any of that kind of stuff," Chandler said. "I know this is mixed martial arts. There's a thousand ways to lose. You've got to be prepared for everything, and I have trained every area that I need to for this fight. But yeah, he's not on the level Eddie was, but at the same time, he's still a man and he's still training every single day to beat me. I've got to take it as serious as I possibly can. I'm just looking forward to getting back in the cage and putting on a show and getting another win just to keep this thing rolling."

View the best solar energy companies currently servicing Outingdale, CA
Our 1,331 reviews of the 135 solar power companies servicing Outingdale in 2018 shows you the best 10 local solar panel installation companies by reputation. Enter your zip code and bill into the solar cost and savings calculator above to also see the cost of installing solar with the best solar companies near you and to get free quotes if you wish.
Firstly, no solar contractors can pay to get listed at the top of our search results.
The order of our list of best solar installers is displayed based on a formula balancing reviews number and reviews score only from the last two years. If a company has a lot of reviews and a higher average reviews score, but is below another company in the list, it is because most of their reviews are old and the company above them has more reviews at a better average reviews score in the last two years (even if overall they have fewer reviews or a lower all time average reviews score).
We show all solar energy contractors that have received reviews of solar panel installation work they have done in Outingdale even if they don't have an office in Outingdale. There are a lot of renewable energy companies in the solar industry in the United States that service areas in which they don't have offices via contract installation teams. Some of these companies receive a lot of complaints (see the big national installers reviews like Vivint Solar, Sunrun and Solar City), but others have really good reviews and so we don't exclude them from our top solar companies lists. They often bring price competition to smaller cities where the local solar companies are so busy they need to put their prices up. It is up to you how much weight you put on a local office when choosing between solar companies.

STAY AWAY!!I am one of the customer so I can give first hand information right from installation to post installation support. It was bad experience all along. My installation work was about to start on the day, so I took day off so installers could get to my house and install. Installers did not show that day and did not even bother to call. Considering, I had taken day off for installation and left my work. So I called Heath , he was not even apologetic and instead told me it's common in construction business for people to not show up. Really, that's how you run your business.. After few days, their crew came to install panels and ready to install. By chance, I happened to notice that they were installing different panels than what I paid for. If I would had not noticed they would have installed wrong panels. How can one miss it? So I called Heath again, he started blaming me for their mistake that I should have got these panels instead, then he started blaming his crew. He chose to focus on blame game rather than the issue.. Very unprofessional..Later I noticed they damaged drive way and concrete of the house. Since I already paid initial money, I was struck. I wanted to pull out, maybe I should have even after initial payment. After installation the whole system went down for couple of days for no support. Now I have one of the panel producing only 30%. At first, they were on denial there was no problem. Then he started blaming on shades. After repeated calls, they showed up after 15 days. 15 days is a long time given panel is not producing much. Now they pointed out its a satellite dish issue. Lets assume it was dish issue, The dish was there since 2012 much much before they did installation. How can it be missed at inspection and during installation when dish is next to panels? Again crappy job and bear no responsibility to fix it Asking me to call third party company to fix it. Panel is now down and not producing much. I feel company lacks quality and professionalism. They tend to lean towards finding excuse or blaming someone whether its their crew or supplier or customer. I paid money to Solarnorcal, I did not pay to listen to their excuses. Company claims to be 5 star, how can a company which works like this to be a 5 star (does not show up on appointments, damage customer property, poor jobs). Given my experience, I am having trouble even rating them 1 star.Even if you decide to go with this company, make sure to get the contract updated for post installation support (SLA for time) and do not pay money till you make sure everything is working as expected and specially no damages done to your property.. Best of luck for your solar installation.... read more

Gold Rush provided excellent service to us all along the journey. From the initial visit, it was clear they were very professional and technically very knowledgable. After an initial proposal was received, which was provided quickly, they addressed all of the technical questions, clarifications, and options patiently so I understood everything and could make a wise decision for our home. This was in contrast to other companies that were not as responsive in terms of initial proposals and subsequent clarifications. And the price offered by Gold Rush was very competitive. It was also extremely important for us to have the solar installation operating in just 2 months before year end. Once we signed the contract, their performance even improved. The initial design was very fast, they incorporated a few of my review comments/questions, and then permitting process with the City was very fast. My 20 panel system was installed in just one day, and the installers were just as professional and courteous as those that we dealt with during the proposal and contract phase. Gold Rush handled the paperwork with PG&E, and I think we were producing energy within approximately one month. We can monitor energy online, they set us up and showed us how to use the software, very easy.The system is operating well, and I have had no issues. Gold Rush exceeded all of our expectations, and made this experience a real joy for us. I highly recommend them to anyone planning to install a home solar system in the area.... read more

I originally looked into Gilmore because of there reputation and there length in business, over 40 years right here in Placerville. When I called in they were prompt and the process was very smooth. The sales rep was on time and explained everything to me in a very clear manor. After we signed the communication and the process exceeded my expectations! The installers showed up on time, we're very courteous and they finished in 1 day!! They kept me informed every step of the way and the whole process from signing to when the system got turned on was less than a month.... read more

Last year we moved into a house that already had 24 old Sharp monocrystalline panels that were working fine but produced insufficient power for our 2 electric cars and new, energy-efficient electric appliances. Ilum Solar had been recommended by a friend, so we contacted them to add 7 Trina Solar, each nearly twice as efficient as our old Sharp panels. Ilum's installers did a neat, effective installation on our tricky roof and we couldn't be more pleased! Clean, professional, and reasonably priced installation! We would definitely recommend Ilum to anyone, but especially folks who want to add-on but don't know if it will be viable and economical. You're likely to be pleasantly surprised!... read more

We installed Aztec Solar for our new pool this summer and they were the only Solar company that would take on the challenge of not being able to have prime roof space. We also have solar for electricity which takes up most of our south facing roof so when I spoke to other pool solar companies they turned us down because of the lack of south face space on our roof. Aztec technology not only works with sunlight but also with the heat from the air so if it's over 90-degrees on your roof they can heat the water in your pool. We have 4 panels facing south and 3 north facing and that's enough to heat our medium size pool to the sweet spot in the summer: 85 degrees. Overall, we are very happy with our Aztec Solar system and everyone we worked with at the company. Brian (sales) was easy to work with and took the time to help us get the most cost and efficient product with the end results we were looking for. Blythe at the office is very accommodating and responsive to our questions and schedule - we were leaving for vacation for 4 weeks and Blythe got us on the calendar in 2 days. Our post sales experience has also been great. We had a problem with on of the pipes on the roof and they came right out and fixed it. I highly recommend Aztec Solar.... read more
Installed SunPower 2 1/2 years ago. Could not be happier with the crews at Capitol City... friendly, professional.. always answered my questions.. always there to resolve whatever issues I had. Even on subsequent maintenance work (minitor unit died), crew showed when they said they would and took the time to explain everything they were doing and the changes being made.. just were great to work with. Highly recommend Capital City Solar and SunPower.... read more

Skyline installed a full solar system and tankless water heater for me. They did a great job and were very professional. They were able to meet my aggressive timeline requests, and were great about replacing a couple of roof tiles that broke in the process (this happens with pretty much any solar install company). They also stand behind their product - the tankless water heater had a motor problem about a year after install. They came out to troubleshoot and replace the (warranty-covered) motor quickly and at no cost to me.... read more

Floral skirt with stockings, a pair of shoes and hats will retro style to the extreme. In the fall, with a long paragraph dark suit, retro without losing the modern style.
Short skirts in the summer is very popular, but also will be the favorite of women's mouth, a man favorite view of the landscape. Skirts are walking sexy fashion style, so require a friend wearing a short skirt should have a tall figure and more sex legs. Otherwise easily counterproductive.

Puchyan River
The Puchyan River flows out of Green Lake in Green Lake County and is a tributary of the Fox River to the northwest. The DNR describes its floodplain as a plain featuring "a mosaic of wetland communities including a large wet-mesic prairie, marsh, and sedge meadow." Wet-mesic flatwoods occurs on low relief, poorly drained glacial lakeplain characterized by the presence of an impervious clay layer, or, locally, where similar conditions exist outside the glacial lakeplain.
Green Lake City
This is a map of part of Green Lake City. Green Lake, the deepest inland lake in Wisconsin, is to the left.
This is the source of the Puchiyan River flowing out of Green Lake in the background. It does so at a lovely small park. Wisconsin Historical Markers tells us this about this location : "On this site in 1845 Anson Dart built the first dam and sawmill, raising the level of Green Lake and forming the Millpond and Dartford Bay. In 1850, John Sherwood opened a new outlet from the pond with a mill race and built a 4-story grist mill. Over the years, several reconstructions of the dam were needed to maintain the lake level, including a major change in 1900 by Victor Lawson. In 1986, heavy rains and high waters caused erosion of the earthern embankment. The Dept. of Natural Resources ordered the lake level to be lowered until the City of Green Lake could repair the dam. With no tax money available, a committee was formed to raise $150,000 in voluntary contributions. And in 1988 repairs were made with steel sheathing to strengthen the dam. Dedication was on July 3, 1988, commemorating the generosity of Green Lake area people and organizations whose contributions made the dam reinforcement possible."
This is part of the overall source of the Puchiyan River, just a bit to the south of the main source. I believe it circumnavigates the dam and flows directly to the Puchiyan River.
This is a bit of a view of Green Lake just to the west of the dam and feeding through it and around it. All of this is in a small but very well cared for park in Green Lake City.

Web and multimedia design software
Adobe nipped at the heels of Macromedia's Flash with the animation-focused LiveMotion a couple of years ago, and is hoping to take a bigger bite with version 2.0. At the same time, Macromedia is preparing a new release of Flash - dubbed 'MX' instead of the expected '6.0'.
LiveMotion 1.0 and Flash 5.0 were never on a par. LiveMotion was useful for creating animated sequences, but Flash could do this plus a vast range of other design tasks. LiveMotion 2.0's key upgrade enhancement is the introduction of scripting using ActionScript. You can now use it to produce fully interactive elements as you could with Flash, raising the program to professional-league status.
Flash MX has improved its own ActionScript interface with colour coding and hints in its Script Editor, along with a rigorous Debugger. Where Flash "MX really has the edge is in backroom server support and essential delivery features, such as dynamic loading of images and audio as Flash content plays back in the browser window. This leaves enormous potential for real-time variable content within files. Flash content can also be integrated with XML data for major applications such as e-commerce. MX even supports content in 11 languages, and font "standards such as Vertical Text and Unicode.
By contrast, LiveMotion 2.0 is playing catch-up with the likes of Flash 4.0 and 5.0. As well as the scripting support, for example, coders can give Flash-based front-end interfaces to their scripts within LiveMotion itself to make them more user-friendly to designers.
In other respects, however, especially in its approach to graphics creation, LiveMotion 2.0 feels like the better package. It has a nice line in special effects and can export animations as high-quality QuickTime movies, so would be a handy addition alongside Adobe Premiere and After Effects. For that matter, its ability to work with native Illustrator and Photoshop formats, including layer and sequence information, can't be ignored. It still can't open Flash SWF files for editing, but you can insert them into your own projects.
From the designer's point of view, LiveMotion 2.0 is still easier to use, but now has the much-needed scripting ability. From the content developer's point of view, nothing less than Flash MX will do the trick.
Adobe LiveMotion 2.0 ***
LiveMotion 2.0 is the creative-friendly alternative - featuring ActionScript but lacking the full-on MX approach, it is offered at a bargain price.
Price: LiveMotion 2.0 (bundled with GoLive 6.0 for $1169); Education price $179 (bundled with GoLive 6.0); Upgrade $235 (from LiveMotion).

LOWELL -- UMass Lowell freshman Tyler Wall has been named the Goaltender of the Month by Hockey East.
The native of Leamington, Ont., posted the league's best goals against average (2.00) in February en route to going a perfect 7-0-0 in the final month of the regular season. Wall's play helped his River Hawks secure a share of the Hockey East regular season title and the top seed in the Hockey East Tournament on the final night of the season.
Wall stopped 151 shots of the 165 he faced in the month, allowing just 14 goals in 419:47 of play. Three of his victories came over nationally ranked opponents, while he allowed two or fewer goals in six of seven.
LOWELL -- Junior attackman Sean Tyrrell (Calgary, Alta.) notched a game-high four points (3 goals, assist) for the UMass Lowell men's lacrosse team in Tuesday afternoon's 8-7 loss to Fairfield at Cushing Field Complex in non-conference play.
Junior Jon Phillips (Delta, B.C.) chipped in with three points (goal, 2 assists) in the losing effort for the River Hawks (1-3), while Austin Lane (Aurora, Ont.) finished with two goals.

Windows come in a wide array of options and styles, but they also come in different materials. Each material has its own advantages and disadvantages. It basically boils down to what your personal preferences are. Aside from that, if you are just replacing one or two windows, you will most likely need to stick with the same material to match.
Vinyl windows are very affordable and provide a modern look. They are extremely popular due to their price points and function well for just about any home. Vinyl provides the advantage of being scratch resistant and easy to clean. However, vinyl tends to fluctuate with temperature changes. One day you may find that your window has a difficult time opening when other days, it doesn't. But that particular disadvantage mainly depends on the thickness and design of the window. The thicker the framing, the easier the window will open. Some vinyl windows are hollow and some have fillers in them to add strength and stability. Vinyl windows also come in a variety of color choices. However, most other than white need to be ordered. When using a window installationscompany, they usually present the choices and options to you and bring the windows on the install date.
Wood windows add a sense of elegance to any home and come in a wide variety of colors too. There are also stained color choices available if you do not want solid paint colors. Wood can also expand and contract in temperature fluctuations, but provides higher resistance to it. On a cold day, you may find your window harder to open, yet it usually opens without intense effort. Unlike vinyl windows that often are hollow, wood windows present a solid option for your home. One of the biggest advantages of wood windows is the fact that they can be stained or painted a different color with ease. Your needs with color selection may change over time and wood windows allow for easy painting or re-staining.
Fiberglass and clad windows are also available and your installer can provide more information. No matter what type of material you choose for your windows, focus on quality and stability and you will have less troubles in the future.


text: I am in a state of shock, I got home last night to find a letter from Telewest telling me that they are launching their Interactive servers on 1st June, starting with the World Cup. Also doing a few other thing like making the volume on the TW remote work (they promised information on how to use it but I think I understand up and down ) Could this be the start of a better service from TW. All we need now is a RPG that goes longer than one day.

"..Domain prices have an economic foundation. They are not detached from the economy in general. On the contrary, domain price changes are very similar to changes in the NASDAQ 100 index, the stock prices of internet giant Google or total revenues from online marketing (US). The strong correlation shows that domain name buyers and sellers make economically motivated price decisions. Domain markets are not a cloud-cuckoo-land where dreamers trade esoteric goods at imaginary prices. "....ReplyDelete

The Presence Of Inspirational Mugs – The Best Ways To Keep Thinking Positively
If you are a store owner and you are looking for something that you can sell, then inspirational mugs would be suitable for it however, we know that you are also considering some factors when buying it hence, it is no surprising if you feel that there is only a tiny bit reason for you to purchase it. We have already made mentioned earlier about the factors that you have been considering when it comes to choosing inspirational mugs like the months, the weather and of course, the twenty percent VAT hike. And certainly, these factors are not the sort of things that you will be inspired in making any constructive thoughts. But then again, if there is one thing that will help you feel uplifted if you choose to go with inspirational mugs, that would be the fact that these items will not only brighten your profit but also, it will help your customers go through their hell days with the inspiration coming from your mugs.
There are actually quite a number of ways on how you can get the best from the inspiration mugs that you have and one way would be by means of printing it with inspirational messages, quotations, bible passages and verse or a simple emoticon that suits the different moods they surely are feeling. You have to make sure that the inspiration you printed on the inspirational mugs you have comes in variations so that it will suit the different taste and preference of your customers. The available ranges of inspirational mugs that you should purchase must go from the cheap plastic ones to good quality mugs that can be used for traveling or going on trips, which will generate interests as well as conversations.
There is also a need for you to make the most out of the cold months or the winter season as this particular time of the year, many people are searching for items that will keep them warm, mugs included. Imagine the early mornings where you have to attend departmental meetings and the struggles that you have to survive beginning from waking up till the time you leave home. Winter season is the time of the year where many of us are struggling since we have to pass by poorly gritted roads onto our destination plus, we also need to exert effort in kicking out the snow off our boots. If you want to change the bad start of the day of your fellow officemates, why not present them a tray of inspirational mugs containing hot coffee filled with your love. And when all of your officemates are smiling around, well, your day could not be any brighter than this.Why People Think Services Are A Good Idea

I kinda don't know really what to think. I'm confident about the operation tomorrow.. But I think I'm more concern that tomorrow will be my first time to be in a hospital.
I know this may sound no biggie to all of you, but for me, I was really hoping that my first hospital experience is something not like the operation tomorrow. Anyway, life's full of surprises, right? You can't have them all.. :)
Melchor and I went to visit Dr. Chiaoling Sua-Lao last Monday. Her clinic that time was in nearby Condesa St., Binondo area. I knew for a fact that there are a lot of patients visiting her in the Binondo clinic, but still, Melchor and I were in a relaxed mood, and was just dilly-dallying around before opening the door of Dr. Sua-Lao's clinic. To our surprise, we were her #27 patients! At that time, it was 10:30AM... so we waited, and waited and waited. Talking, teasing around.. hugging, planting small kisses, holding hands.. watching patients come in and out of the Doctor's room.. waiting for our turn.. Then around 1:20PM, Dr. Sua-Lao's assistant, Inday, told me that we're next.. So can you imagine the time we waited at Dr. Sua-Lao's clinic! Hahahaa! 3 hours!! Oh, I forgot, in between that, Dr. Sua-Lao came out and noticed me among her patients, and asked her assistant to show me the CD of her Dermoid Cyst operation.. Which Melchor and I watched, along with a male stranger nearby.. hahaa! Watching her video actually made us more confident with Dr. Sua-Lao, also added some questions in our mind.
So it was 1:30pm when Melchor and I finally ushered in to Dr. Sua-Lao's room. I introduced Melchor to Dr. Sua-Lao, and her first question was: "He is a Chinese also?" hahahah! Because of Melchor's feature, he can fooled anyone that he's a non-Chinese.
And so, we were at Dr. Sua-Lao's clinic. She showed us an edited version of dermoid cyst laparoscopy operation. She patiently pointed out and illustrated the procedure she'll be doing tomorrow. At the same time, we were squeezing in some questions for her to answer. I still have some luck in my side, as Dr. Sua-Lao pointed out, based on the ultrasound, my cyst was more of a fluid component, rather than some other cyst, who's more oily ("masebo"). She estimated a 2-hour operation.. Hay.. tomorrow na pala yun!
And so, she prescribed some stuff for me to do yesterday and today. Also some instructions for the check-in tomorrow. I have to take Dulcolax and PhosphoSoda last night and this lunch.
So taking the Dulcolax and Phospho-Soda made me feel really weird!! I don't think I will describe them here.. This is the first tiem I took laxative, so this is really weird.
Anyway, I have to end this entry for now.. With our picture yesterday at Dr. Sua-Lao's clinic... Her contact details can be found at http://www.thefilipinodoctors.com/ or you can send me a message, I'll be happy to share the contact details of Dr. Sua-Lao.
Lastly, just blogging an update for my upcoming operation.
I'm just happy that Melchor's here with me right now, and I'm praying for the success of my operation tomorrow. Thank you all!
Posing at Dr. Sua-Lao's clinic! hahaha! :)

OCTOBER!!!! My favorite month of the year! Probably because it's my birthday month and will most likely be my son's birthday month. :) It's also the weather, the festivities and fashion, of course! With all of the new fall fashion coming out, I have the itch to get out and shop!! However, with baby on the way, I'm resisting the urge. I did very well this summer on training myself that you don't always have to have the next big thing. Cutting back has been tough, but there is a little guy that is much bigger and much more special than any article of clothing coming my way and that's my focus. With that being said, I can still make a bday wish list and hope that my mom or my husband or someone sees it! Right? Haha. Anyway, here's my birthday fashion picks...
Palazzo Pants(burgundy)
I'm kind of obsessed with this too!
This, too. :)
I can't stop. I'm addicted to boots.

Videos tagged with "salesians of don bosco"
TOPIC: Project India [05:49]
During February 2012 I took a break from panda hunting and decided to join in with some friends on a culture learning to trip to Kolkata, India. The journey was rocky and the trip was an emotional roller coaster but I can't wait to get back there to support those children again. Please look more into the noble work the Salesians are doing in Kolkata and other parts of India for the street children.

Congratulations to the happy couple!

Pacific Grove architect pleads guilty to workers' compensation fraud
News: 2014 Press Release
PACIFIC GROVE, Calif. – Robert Gunn, 70, of Pacific Grove, pleaded guilty to one felony count of failure to register as an employer and one misdemeanor count of failing to secure workers' compensation insurance. A Department of Insurance investigation found that Gunn had not purchased workers' compensation insurance prior to an employee's injury.
"The underground economy is a multi-billion drain on California's economy and hurts law abiding businesses," said Commissioner Dave Jones. "Employers that cheat the system by not providing
In May 2013, Department of Insurance officials received information that Gunn informed his employees that he did not have workers' compensation insurance, but if he did, he would take the cost of the insurance out of their paychecks. The Department of Insurance began an investigation in collaboration with the Monterey County District Attorney's Office and the Contractor's State License Board.
The investigation led to Gunn being interviewed while employing contractors at a rental property. Investigators found that one of Gunn's workers had been injured while on the job and that Gunn paid for him to obtain chiropractic treatments. Gunn told investigators he purchased workers' compensation insurance recently, but did not have it at the time of the worker's injury, and was in the process of registering as an employer with the Employment Development Department.
Gunn pleaded guilty to one felony count of failure to register as an employer and one misdemeanor count of failing to secure workers' compensation insurance. He is scheduled to be sentenced on July 2, 2014.

A man has spent the night trapped in the Blue Mountains after he was bitten by a snake.
The 21-year-old man was abseiling with friends at Mount Wilson last night when he sustained the bite from the unidentified.
His friends called for help but rescuers and paramedics were hindered by bad weather.
The weather conditions prevented them from winching the man to safety.
More rescue crews are set to walk to the site this morning to assist with extracting the man from the area.

He attempted ot move into a more adult and less infantile movie style. Unfortunately the box office said that this wasn't a good idea and he hasn't yet approached anything like it. I originally saw this in the theater with my wife. There was only one other couple there. Here's looking forward to seeing Kevin Smith attempt to do more things different and experimental to his style.

|"Country Roses" table
|My sister and I drinking tea!
It was SO. MUCH. FUN.
My church does this Ladies Tea every year, but since I've been at school I have only been once before. But this time I could go, AND I was asked to be a hostess!
What's a hostess, you ask?
|My Botticelli-inspired table
|My door prize and table
I don't even like tea but I did like whatever kind I ended up choosing. The food was so yummy and our server was the greatest so we were never without whatever we asked for (for example: Ummmm, we need some more chocolate things please, and moments later, he would bring us a tray of delicious chocolatey things!) The men of the church were our servers, which was so fun!
|Looking fancy!
Oh, and I almost forgot the greatest part: dressing up! Lots of people went all out with hats and fancy dresses/outfits.. It was so fun to get fancy!
If you're ever in Virginia in the spring and want to go to this lovely event, just let me know and I'll hook you up :)
Enjoy pictures of some of the tables! Can you guess the theme before you read the captions?
|A Parisian cafe - she brought in a painting and everything!
|Monet-inspired table
|Culinary arts/photography table
|Pop art table, complete with "LEGIT" artwork (which I had to explain to an old lady)
Anyone craving tea and cookies yet?!

SAFE is a training program to enhance secure attachment between parents and children. It is designed for expecting parents (around the 6month mark) and offers 10 sessions in total in a group setting (4 during pregnancy, 6 after pregnancy), coupled with individual feedback to parents (Adult Attachment Interview).
"The development of a secure attachment between parents and child is the ideal foundation for the healthy physical, psychological, and social development of the child. It is therefore crucial that we make every effort to support parents as well as children in their earliest developmental phases to ensure that this important developmental step is successfully accomplished." K.H. Brisch
Dear parents to be,
Pregnancy, birth & parenthood - a new, exciting phase of life with many happy moments! It also raises many questions.
Many parents feel overwhelmed and insecure and quite often differ in opinion as to what is the best for their baby. These days, parents are confronted with information from books, television, not to mention the well-intended opinions of friends, relatives, and grandparents. Unfortunately, the sometimes contradictory advice can be both overwhelming and confusing.
Perhaps you, like so many other parents-to-be, have asked yourself some of the following questions:
How do I become a good mother or a good father?
How can I build a good relationship with my child and get him or her on the right developmental path?
What should I do when my baby cries or can't fall asleep despite my best efforts?
What should we as parents do when our needs are different from those of our baby?
Creche… Yes? No? When?
At what point am I spoiling my child, and when does my child need limits?
How can I avoid unconsciously transmitting my own unpleasant/ unhealthy childhood experiences to my child?
How can we best handle our change in status from couplehood to parenthood?
Participation in SAFE® enables you to perceive your child's emotional needs better, particularly with regard to the development of attachment, and to enhance a secure attachment through sensitive interaction.
Children with a secure emotional attachment exhibit more prosocial and less aggressive behavior, tend to be more empathetic and creative, have longer attention spans, and show superior cognitive capacities and greater resilience in difficult situations than do children who have developed an insecure attachment.
The SAFE program consists of group day courses before and after childbirth; sensitivity training and a help line or hotline.
Please email us @ email@example.com to enquire about available places. We will take a deposit of €99.
Stephanie Burke is currently the only qualified SAFE Mentor in the Republic of Ireland (qualification gained under Dr. Brisch through the Department of Pediatric Psychosomatic Medicine and Psychotherapy at the Dr. von Hauner Children's Hospital University of Munich)

As previously reported, Katia Wanzeler was apparently released from custody on 22-MAY-2014, transported by Marshal service on 23rd and delivered to Massachusetts the same day. Testimony is under seal as are the details of her release. She had to surrender her passport and ordered not to leave the state. Attempt to do so would constitute contempt of court and arrest may result.
In other news, La Republica in Peru reported that a vigilante team of TelexFree victims apparently kidnapped their upline/promoter and tried to force him to withdraw money to refund them. However, being amateurs, their suspicious behavior made the bank trigger the robbery alarm, and they ran, but were soon arrested later, where they confessed to the kidnapping and they only want a refund of their money.

'What Makes a Man a Man' Project provides a way of connecting everyday Australian men with a source of men's wisdom, where they may be inspired by, and learn from caring male role models as well as having an understanding of themselves.
We learn from one another by connecting and communicating with each other. Sharing stories and experiences can be very inspiring and teach us valuable lessons. Several well-known and respected Australian public figures have agreed to speak on camera about their lives and the lessons they have learnt about being a man.
This "virtual" mentoring project is a multi-media resource for men of all ages, developed around a collection of "life lessons and reflections" of well-known Australian male public figures. These well-known and respected Australian public profiles come from a variety of professional, sporting and social contexts, including well-known media personalities, and men from Indigenous and culturally diverse communities.
These virtual mentors could in part serve as role-models to men who may be struggling through adversity, unsure of how to get back on track, or lacking a sense of purpose or direction. Others may simply be curious about the lives of successful contemporary older and younger men, known to them through the media.
Interview with Angry Anderson: Singer-Songwriter, Television Personality, Youth Advocate - Topics covered in this video: Child abuse, Forgiveness, Anger Management, Relationships (56.51 minutes).
Interview with Michael Kirby: Retired High Court Judge - Topics covered in this video: Discrimination, Forgiveness, Acceptance, Respect (30.34 minutes).
Highlights from 8 of the interviews (Angry Anderson; Michael Kirby; Terry O'Connell; Dean Daley-Jones; Tony Vinson; Peter FitzSimons; Curtis Palmer; John Bell) for the 'What Makes a Man a Man' virtual mentoring project for men.(11.53 minutes).
Psychologist Agi O'Hara believes that men need positive role models. In a series of video interviews 16 well-known and respected men tell their stories and the aim is to inspire, encourage and support men. (15.04 minutes).
What Makes a Man a Man
The Men's Health Information and Resource Centre received funding from the Australian Government.

We have been looking forward to this show for months now. Every since we first saw The Nutcracker back in 2014 I've been in love with the ballet. Since then we've seen Peter Pan, Spring Works and even a collaboration between the Opera, CLT Ballet and Charlotte Symphony for Romeo & Juliet.
Before we go to a show, we always like to start things off with a nice meal. It really adds to the experience, and since we've mostly been going to matinee's these days, Halcyon has been our restaurant of choice. It's located directly across from the Knights Theater in the Mint Museum Uptown.
Plus, if you find yourself with some time to burn after your meal, you can pop downstairs to the Mint Museum's gift shop, or grab a drink or snack from the Starbucks that's just along the corridor between the two buildings.
The Sleeping Beauty Story…
The King and Queen have invited all the Fairies of the land to the christening of their daughter, Princess Aurora. Carabosse, the Fairy of Jealousy, has been forgotten and in her rage, curses Aurora to die from a prick of the finger. The Lilac Fairy says Aurora will not die but go to sleep, to be awakened after 100 years by a Prince's kiss.
Sarah Hayes Harkins was mesmerizing in the title role of Sleeping Beauty, and Jaime Dee Clifton was in absolutely enchanting in the role of the Lilac Fairy. In addition to all the talented dancers in this production, I could not say enough about the costumes. Every single one was absolutely stunning and in combination with the choreography by Jean-Pierre Bonnefoux and the sets, the experience was simply magical.
The program added a bit of comedy in the final act with the White Cat & Puss in Boots played by Candace Ricketts & Michael Matthews as well as introducing a few other characters from well known fairytales.
You can catching an amazing performance of this ballet at the Knights Theater through March 19th.

▶ A Day Trip to Bowen Island BC Canada - YouTube
North Shore Tourism has produced a video of a day trip to Bowen. It's full of a lot of adjectives.
But one thing I like about it is that it has a brief glimpse into Artigiani Milanesi, an outstanding small cashmere tailor that relocated from Milan to Bowen last year. They make outstanding quality clothing from incredible cashmere wool.

We learned a couple of weeks ago that a new owner for Zilkr on the Park Apartments at 1900 Barton Springs Road plans to convert the complex to condos, with a public opening a week away.
All of this is kind of interesting for a few reasons. For one, if your memory stretches back that far, you'll recall that condo units were actually in the original plan for the site. There was also a boutique hotel and bar/restaurant component planned for a while, until it wasn't. The whole thing just kind of dried up and turned into apartments instead, which always felt like a bit of a missed opportunity for something interesting considering the exclusivity of the 1.5 acre site — you seriously can't get any closer to Zilker Park than this.
Here's the nitty gritty: The five-story complex, which was completed in 2014, holds 213 units ranging from about 600 to 1,300 square feet, with one and two-bedroom floorplans available alongside studios. The original owner and builder was Mill Creek Residential Trust, LLC, a large developer with more than 17,000 apartment units under their belt and a lot of former Trammell Crow talent on staff, if you take a peek at their executive board. The new owners, incorporated under the name Zilkr Owner LLC, are associated with The Fallstaff Group, a Baltimore developer specializing in condo conversions around the country.
The ABJ article about the acquisition mostly covers the details, although the headline calling them "high-profile" apartments seems … generous. The most distinguishing aspect of this building is its extreme proximity to the park — I probably wouldn't have recognized the building if I hadn't walked past it a million times on the way to the Austin City Limits Music Festival in recent years. But despite the fact that this community only opened a few years back, what's going on here isn't hugely different from a lot of the condo conversions we've seen in Austin before, right down to the new owner's promises of luxury fixtures.
The buyer plans extensive renovations from a total makeover of the lobby, including the installation of white marble floors and modern Italian furnishings by Roche Bobois.
The Fallstaff Group is an interesting company, mostly due to its CEO, Elliott J. Sharaby. Self-described as the "King of Condo Conversions" in his bio, which you've really got to read for yourself. Sharaby's career spans back decades, with this 1993 article describing his early days of apartment-condo flipping with developer Joel Gamel.
Here are some sample marketing materials from past sales efforts.
These ads are hilarious, but more importantly, they line up with the marketing techniques described in the 1993 article:
Adding to the hubbub was the use of a public address system inside units and in the public areas to announce sales contracts in between broadcasts of instrumental music. Red price tags were hung on the doors. Models were furnished down to everyday items, including fake Chinese food on the table.
Joel Gamel theorized that buyers in the blizzard "thought it was an auction." Color advertisements featured the words "D.C. foreclosure sale," along with a slightly erroneous map that showed the project on N Street one block off Pennsylvania, just around the corner from the White House.
"It wasn't high pressure, but it was high energy," he said of opening day.
The "public notice" and "closeout sale" vibe of the posters above begs the question: what kind of publicity blitz are we in for with Zilkr? It's certainly a strange but clearly effective sales tactic, at least for those "distressed" properties that needed to sell quickly as described in that article.
That doesn't seem to be the case for Zilkr, which by all appearances was at or near full occupancy, and had a recent property appraisal of $55 million.
Maybe Zilkr's fortunate geography will save it from being marketed with the subtlety of a police auction. Of course, marketers should always be looking for inspiration.
Prices reported beginning in the low $300,000s.

As said in the previous post on the topic of diversity in publication cultures, the recent DJA publication, "Kennis over publiceren. Publicatietradities in de wetenschap", presents interesting and valuable personal experiences. At the same time, the booklet tends to cut corners and make rather crude statements about the role of evaluation and indicators. Often, the individual life stories are not properly contextualized. For example, physicist Tjerk Oosterkamp claims that citation analysis is "not at all" appropriate for experimental physics. According to him, the use of citation scores in evaluation would encourage researchers to stick to "simple things" and shy away from more daring and risky projects. But is this true? Many initially risky projects attracted quite a lot of citations later. As far as I know, we do not yet have a lot of evidence about the effect of evaluations and performance indicators on risk behavior in science. We do indeed have some indications that researchers tend to avoid risky projects, especially in writing applications for externally funded projects. Yet, we do not know whether this means that researchers are taking less risks across the board.
Another objection is that citation patterns may reflect current fashions rather than the most valuable research. I think this is an important point. For example, the recent hype about graphene research in physics may prove to be less valuable than expected. Citations represent impact on the short term communication within the relevant research communities. This is different from long term impact on the body of knowledge. There is a relationship between the two types of impact, but they are certainly not identical.
A second example of cutting corners is the statement by the editors in one of the essays of the DJA publication that "there is not much support among scientists for bibliometric analysis (p. 25). Well, to be honest, this varies quite strongly. In many areas in the natural and biomedical sciences quantitative performance analysis is actually quite hot. Also, we see a tendency in the humanities and social sciences to try to find a cure for the lack of publication data in Google Scholar, which often, albeit not always, has a much better coverage of these areas. They are sometimes even willing to turn a blind eye to the quite considerable problems with the accuracy and reliability of these data. So, the picture is much more complicated than the image of bibliometrics being performed top-down on the unhappy researcher.
Notwithstanding these shortcomings, the DJA booklet presents important dilemmas and problems. Perhaps the legal scholar Carla Sieburgh presents the problem most clearly: quality can in the end only be judged by experts. However, there is no time to have external reviewers read all the material. Hence the shift towards measurement. But this tends to lead us away from the content. In every discipline, some solution of this dilemma needs to be found, probably by striking a discipline-specific balance between objectified analysis from outside and internalized quality control by experts. This search for the optimal balance is especially important in those fields where quality control has been introduced relatively recently.

Pak says it wants 'meaningful' dialogue with India over J-K issues
| Updated: Aug 04, 2017 00:07 IST
Islamabad [Pakistan], August 3 (ANI): Pakistan on Thursday said that it is in favour of having "sustained, meaningful and result-oriented dialogue" with India that addresses all issues, particularly the Jammu and Kashmir. "Pakistan wants to have sustained, meaningful and result oriented dialogue with India that addresses all issues particularly the Jammu and Kashmir," Radio Pakistan quoted the country's Foreign Office spokesman Nafees Zakaria as saying during a weekly press conference. He added that peace in the region is not possible without resolving the Kashmir dispute. Tensions have been running high between the two Asian neighbours amid spree of ceasefire violations and cross-border infiltration from Pakistan side. Relations between India and Pakistan worsened after several terror attacks including one on an Indian military base in Uri and also on an Indian air force base in Pathankot. The situation between both the nations further deteriorated after a Pakistan military court announced a death sentence to former Indian Naval officer Kulbhushan Jadhav. Relations between the two nations have been particularly worsened after the 2008 Mumbai attacks by Pakistan based terrorists.(ANI)
