Travelling Cebu: Travel Tricks and Tips
Okay okay, here we go. I have promised to post some travel tips for travelling to Cebu, Philippines. Before I drafted our itinerary, I consulted friends and online forums. I decided that there has to be some water splash, some uphill and some historical spots which we will need to include in the schedule.
Airfare. Before anything, you have to get a low low airfare, so first tip, book ahead and book when there are seat sales. Cebu Pacific Airlines have seat sales every now and then and you will work on your itinerary, factor in the budget in the travel details and start saving.
Historical Value. Months before our travel, I also checked the historical sites that are (tentatively) part of the itinerary. Write down travel details going there, means of transportation, cost, entrance fees, contact numbers. Sometimes, museums have schedules – sometimes they open from Monday to Saturday, there are also those that are not open on Mondays and Fridays or closed on weekends - some are not open 8 hours a day. That should be checked so you can make an effective itinerary, you can adjust the time and day for the best hour to visit. Another thing: bring a notebook and a pen. You have to write down what you see in there and since you cannot take pictures, you can share what you have seen in museums.
Resorts. Well, I love and always look forward to water spa. We chose Imperial Palace because it is new and it has lots of water adventures, plus the lunch is sumptuous. But! Careful because on weekends, they charge plus 30%. I love weekends because there are lots of people around. But yeah, you have to pay the price. Try other hotels too, such as Plantation Bay Resort, Shangrila Mactan, Microtel Mactan and there are also cheaper resorts such as Tambuli Resort, Cebu Beach Club – they charge less than 1,000 for a day tour, with buffet lunch.
Food. Well, there are lots of good food in cebu with Casa Verde being my favorite. Casa Verde has a branch in Ayala but I prefer their main branch near Fuente Circle (near Velez Hospital) because of the ambience. Although, getting there is a bit tricky.
Sky adventure. We did not push our luck to try the Sky Adventour at Crowne Regency. I chickened-out (unsurprisingly). They say it is really nice to try it at night. They 888 package, and that includes a buffet. The said hotel is just located at Fuente Circle too, along Jones Street I think. Next tip: when it is your turn, be sure not to chicken-out! Just pig-out! :D
Pasalubong. Best for pasalubongs are Otap (shamrock, conching, Titay's), rosquillos, and my favorite Masareal. You can find them anywhere – SM, Ayala Mall but Shamrock has a branch at Fuente Circle too.
Happy Travelling!

Hey all,
I have a subject I really want to talk a lot about, but I'm still trying to process things myself, so this really WILL be a (relatively) short entry. It's about being inspired by two ladies from the silver screen. Thelma & Louise-ing it is my way of saying, just jump, full in, no net, with every chance that you will fall on your face...or every chance something amazing will happen.
This week, I did that, in two different situations. Right now, I can talk about one of them. It's regarding The Project (the thing I can't talk about that I am working my butt off on that I really want to talk about). Editor gave me 1 note and 1 suggestion. I took them both into consideration and stepped back. Sometimes, when you write something, you think, THIS IS IT! This is perfection. And then someone else reads it... Get out of your own way and listen, especially to your editor. I did this. It was the second draft that Editor was giving me notes on, and both versions were quite different from each other. Then came these ideas from Editor. The two things that had bugged me about the story, that I KNEW were off but tried to cover up with bells & whistles and shiny pretty things, were spotted by Editor. That's when it hit me. And I jumped.
I took it down to basics and started over. I kept the core ideas and goals but EVERYTHING else changed. I also played with a structure I have never used before. I put it all on the line, didn't hold back at all. And when I turned it in, it was the first time I actually thought that this is a story that if, God forbid, I couldn't write it, I would still want to read it. I was able to feel confident that I was proud of every moment, and didn't need to cover any weak spots. I went for it. And then I walked away to let Editor read & absorb it.
Met with Editor today, and the difference was instantly noticeable. Editor & I were on completely the same page! This story's structure is completely unique for me but still something I feel passionately about writing, and that combination excited Editor, and me honestly. This is EXACTLY what I wanted to write when I first pitched it, but now I finally found THE way for me to best tell the story.
So what was the difference? I jumped. I Thelma & Louised it. And I didn't crash. I hit the ground running. And I haven't stopped smiling ever since.
More on all of this later.
Until next time,
- Jim

Thelma & Louise-ing It, Part 1
Hey all,

Get outta the way!!!
So, you know that research rule I talked about? Yeah, I am dangerously close to tripping over it. In my efforts to do this project justice and right, I am trying to serve many masters (the fans, my editor, myself, and many others who might be reading this upcoming project). In all honestly, the main master I need to serve is The Story. What is going to tell the best story?
I spent 2 hours this evening pouring over a decade's worth of issues trying to find the right moments, the right dialogue, the right references. A great deal of it probably has little to do with what will ultimately be the final result, and what does make it in will please some and set others into a tirade. How could I address this and not that? How could I leave out this minor reference on page 15 of issue blah blah?! Obviously, I will be a hack to some people. But that's just it- no matter what any of us do, there will be those who will find fault in it. Every work is flawed. If creative people kept working on something until it was so perfect that no one could complain, nothing would ever be finished.
I need to step back and stop looking at where these characters have been and look at where they are now, where they need to go, and what makes them the people they are. I also need to make sure that I am telling The Story I want to tell. Not in a possessive "this is MY story" way, but the Story I feel I can tell, what voice I bring to the table.
Basically, I need to get out of my own way and get to creating. For those who don't realize we are all in this industry out of love for the characters and the medium and will hate anything because they can only see the faults, go ahead and buy your tomatoes now. This way, if you don't like the story, they will be nice and rotten and prime for throwing when the story hits.
To the rest of you, thank you for enjoying and supporting.
Until next time,
- Jim

A little help from My Webfriends - Spy Films
Hello again today!
Quick change of pace and the possibility of the start of a themed series. A lot of times, message boards can be terrifying pools of snark-infested cyber-water, filled with bile. An update on an old saying should now be: "Those who can, do. Those who can't, post about they WOULD do it better on a message board." Sometimes, however, you stumble across sites that are that rare gem, with helpful, intelligent people who actually think before hitting "post" and honestly like people. Two such sites are below:
Brian Michael Bendis's message board - The main site for one of the top writers (and nicest guys) in the comic book industry
Twitter - I suggest signing up (super easy) and finding people who you don't mind "following" as they spend 140 characters answering the question "What Are You Doing" (follow me here)
Sometimes, I throw out questions to the masses (that IS what Web 2.0 is for, after all) about a variety of topics. This goes back to the research topic earlier. It's a way to help tap into the knowledge all of those around you may have on a subject you don't know a lot about or want to know more of. I like doing this because I learn a lot more not just about a topic, but about my webfriends. As I ask a new question, I will post the results here. These will most likely be entries I update/edit as more roll in, but I wanted to centralize some info for myself (easier to go back to when research times happen) and also for others who may be reading this little sliver of the blogosphere.
Today's question posed: What are some good Spy/Espionage films?
Answers are below, in no particular order. Please keep in mind, these are suggestions gathered from others, not solely from me. I have seen some, have loaded others on my Netflix queue, and will look into the rest. Enjoy!

Hello there! Why look, day two of the blog and I'm making my second entry. Nice start...
I'm not looking to post an incredibly long entry today (or at least right now), as I am eye-balls deep in research. But I wanted to talk a moment about that. One of the best bits of advice I ever got was to do all the research you can, but follow two rules - 1) know when to stop researching and start writing, and 2) never let your research show. Just because you learn a cool fact, don't jam it in there because it's so awesome you HAVE to show everyone how much you personally know or learned about a subject. If you are writing a thesis, fine, cite your references and write all about your findings. But if you are writing fiction, your research should be done to get to know your characters, not to brag that you did it.
Learn what you can about your characters. This doesn't just mean to know where they are from, how many siblings they have, and their favorite ice cream flavor (although those things help establish well-rounded characters as well). You should also try to learn as much about what THEY know as possible. This way, what they say and do will ring true to their experiences and their knowledge. Learn what they they would know, and let their experience and your research come out in their actions and, where appropriate (and in their voices, not in long-winded exposition) their dialog.
People can say what they will about Wikipedia, but it is at least a good place to start your research. You can use it as the Cliff's Notes version, but be sure to look at the related links or cited footnotes in the articles to get more info. Side note, if you are ever at a loss for ideas, check out the featured article of the day on their home page. If you are still stumped, look to the left at the Navigation tab and click on"Random Article" a few times. I guarantee that eventually SOMETHING will pop up that will make you stop and want to read more about it (within 3 clicks just now, I got to The Blasphemy Act of 1698)
Personal side note - LOOK! I figured out how to insert links! One web-challenge down, hundreds to go...
Right now I am reading as much as I can about a variety of subjects- from what it takes to get a PhD (which I did not realize stood for Doctor of Philosophy until I started - thank you Bachelor's of Arts degree in Radio/TV/Film), certain scientific disciplines, Film Noir poster art, weapons used throughout the ages, and even the rules of centuries-old organizations. Talk about jumping around. My "Bookmark" section is getting a work out. As is my Moleskine notebook. I can't stress this enough- when you read something, or hear something on TV or in a movie- write it down! You'll be amazed at how quickly just writing down something will switch your mind on and you'll find yourself writing that tidbit down from your character's point of view or at least how it applies to your story.
As a gift last Christmas, Joe Quesada gave us all in publishing Marvel-embossed Moleskine notebooks. In it was an amazing inscription: Some of the greatest creative minds and thinkers in the modern era have used Moleskine notebooks like this one for jotting down their thoughts and ideas. This Moleskine is dedicated to you and your next great idea. Thank you for an amazing 2007! Well, Joe, thank YOU. I can only hope that what I am filling this with is worthy to be called a great idea, or at least a good one.
Until next time,
- Jim
PS - so much for not posting an incredibly long entry! Ha! Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to exercise Rule #1 of research and get some writing done!

Welcome Aboard!
Hello friends, family, acquaintances, fans, and reading-voyeurs,
Surprise, surprise, another blog enters the blogosphere. As you can see in my profile, I make no promises how updated this blog will be, but here's hoping. "The best laid plans of mice and men oft go astray, and leave us not but grief and pain for promised joy. Well, hopefully my potential sporadic updates (or complete lack of them) won't leave you with grief and pain, and I cannot promise you joy with every post. What I CAN offer you is that I will be *me* in these entries.
So, where to start? I'd rather not start off with the traditional "I was born in..." exposition. Zzzzz... Details of my youth, history, interests, etc will hopefully come out in more unique ways, organically, as I (hopefully) write new entries.
Brief aside here- just because I have a blog and a Twitter, by NO means should indicate that I am at all web-savvy when it comes to the bells and whistles of these here Interwebs. I will try to post pictures, art, etc where I can...when I can figure out how.
Second aside - this is intended more as my "professional" blog. You won't find much in the way of personal info here as I tend to keep that stuff off the web. instead, this is to update my experiences in the world of comics, writing, and wherever this crazy path of life is taking me on professionally. That said, I'm not above raving or ranting about current novels, movies, or TV shows. But don't look for too many rants, you never know who is reading and when/if you may meet them in person. I'd rather not get slapped by anyone from the "cast" of The Hills because I ranted about that show (for the record, never seen an episode).
Back on topic. Work. I work in Marketing/PR/Conventions/"other duties as assigned" at Marvel Comics. Yes, it is my dream company. No, cannot believe I work there (and I just celebrated my 4th year there-- it still amazes me). Yes, I do know how lucky I am. Convention season is mostly over and it is sort of bittersweet. On one hand, I never sleep, eat, or stop moving when at a convention, so it is exhausting. But on the other (much bigger) hand, I absolutely love everything else about it. From the thrill of making a great announcement on a panel and hearing the crowd applaud, to meeting fans one-on-one (without them, no one in comics would have a job), to seeing friends from around the world who work in comics too. Thanks to FedEx and the Internet, people can work in this industry from anywhere in the world, which is great. But it means you really only see them a few times a year. One of the greatest things about this industry is that I have been lucky to make some true friends over the years. Anyone who has seen a Marvel panel should know that we are HUGE goof-offs; joking around with each other, snarky (in a good natured way), and genuinely happy to be together. That's exactly how we are OFF the panel too. Some call me the happiest man in comics. I don't know if I can claim that superlative (Dan Slott's pretty darn jolly, too), but I can say that I am the happiest I have been BECAUSE I work in comics.
(Third aside - I had the Olympics on in the background on the USA network while writing this. At some point, they ended and "Psych" came on. I am convinced I just saw the same cave set used in Smallville and the same woods that Mulder and Scully trekked thru in X-Files. Makes me wish TV had a shared universe where all of these characters ran from place to place, encountering each other. I would never turn off the television...)
Obvious personal fact you should have gathered by now: I am very easily distracted. Another fact - I am obsessed with television.
I know I have far more to say, but this is the beginning. I have to leave something for people to come back to. And there's plenty! From my history in soap operas, to my present job, to writing my first full comic script, to trying to dance between the raindrops of talking about my new project that I can't really talk too much about. Speaking of, I should run spellcheck on this entry and publish it so I can stop procrastinating (which, truth be absolutely told, was the genesis of this blog- procrastination) and get back to a more necessary form of procrastinating: research!
Until next time, KEEP READING!

Who are we?
Soca Skip Power Workout® is a new revolutionary fitness programme performed with Carnival (Soca Music) from the Caribbean! 1 Class = burning 1300 calories+ (Advance Power).
It is also a dynamic Sport Workout which is perfect for an individual pursuing his/her fitness goals or a professional athlete in preparation for competition. The Caribbean music that compliments this workout is energetic, fun and stimulating. The SocaSkip environment is one that is usually described as 'one big, happy family, getting fit and healthy together.
- Guaranteed to increase stamina and flexibility.
- Helps improve cardio-respiratory (heart and lungs) function.
- Increasing energy to the body.
- Improves coordination, balance and rhythm.
How we do it?
By combining a variety of skipping techniques, dynamic stretches, sit-ups, press-ups, squats and many other conditioning exercises, SocaSkip® provides a multitude of health and fitness benefits. What make this programme so unique, are the benefits derived from jumping, skipping and body-conditioning work-outs.
Each component individually, provides tremendous results to the individual, but combined (jumping, skipping, and body-conditioning exercises) it is powerful beyond measure. It is guaranteed to increase stamina, flexibility, helps improve cardio-respiratory (heart and lungs) function, increasing energy to the body, and improves coordination, balance and rhythm. There are two systems in the body the circulatory system (the blood function) and the lymphatic system (the cells) and miraculously through the coordination of skipping and jumping, the lymphatic system increases the cells performance in the body, by absorbing nutrients and removing waste from the body. It helps to disseminate calcium to the body, decreasing the risk of osteoporosis.
How it works?
Skipping burns twice as much calories in a 10-minute session than any other fitness programme and is 40% upper body and 60% lower body workout. As a total body programme it helps tone the body, the thighs, hips, Gastrocnemius (calves) and the gluteus maximus (bottom). By engaging your arms and wrist throughout the workout, the biceps, triceps, deltoids, chest and abdominus muscles achieve great results. The jumping techniques in skipping also helps increase the body's energy system to work more efficiently.
The body conditioning exercises in this programme is designed to work specific muscles for e.g. the strengthening of the back muscles to support the body, the toning and strengthening of the abdominus, the Pectoralis major and minor muscles, the deltoids, the quadriceps, and muscles that usually do not benefit from everyday exercises and way of life.

AOC: It was hailed one of the toughest water polo line ups in recent Olympic Games history and it certainly lived up to that expectation with unpredictable results, close matches and favourites falling early on.
For Australia's men's water polo team, the results of Rio 2016 Olympic Games have left them with mixed emotions, after failing to qualify through to the quarter finals despite having one of their most consistent tournaments.
Despite two wins, two losses and a draw, the points weren't enough to qualify the team out of the preliminary rounds.
Captain Rhys Howden said while the result fell well short of the teams' expectations, the teams' performance was something they could all be proud of.
"The team was very disappointed not to go through to the quarter finals but I don't think our result here has shown just how well this team has done at the Rio Olympics.
"Every single game we played we played with the same amount of intensity, same amount of professionalism. So in terms of that, we can't be disappointed.
"Every game, especially in our pool, was either a draw or a win by one. That includes the Serbians who came into the Tournament being the number one ranked team having not lost a Tournament in the last three years, to just beating teams or tying with teams this whole Tournament. It just shows how competitive and how close the Games actually was," said Howden.
Australia opened the Olympics against a new look Brazilian side, who used the extremely passionate home crowd to their advantage to take a one-point lead over the Australians, which was a less than ideal way for the team to open up their campaign.
Game two against European powerhouse Hungary saw an extremely physical match up as both sides left nothing to chance. The Aussies were fierce and had the opportunity to take the win in the dying seconds, but unfortunately had to settle for the draw.
They met Japan in the third match up which was a fast paced, swimming game with Japan bringing their unique playing style to the Games. Australia managed to get the win 8-6.
Current World Champions Serbia (who went on to win the gold medal) bought their A-game to the fourth match, their physicality certainly testing the Australian defence at times. The Aussies were not going down without a fight, but had settle for the 8-10 loss.
Like the last Olympics, it all came down to the final game against Greece. Australia has a good track record against the Greeks but on the day they were the better side with a 12-7 win.
While the results meant the Aussies didn't go through to the quarter finals, Howden believes the Aussies can take a lot of positives out of this campaign as they build towards Tokyo 2020.
"The team can take can take a lot of confidence from the Rio Games and if the team sticks together going into the next cycle I feel with Elvis (Head Coach) re-signing on to Tokyo, we can only improve on this performance.
"Elvis has brought the Euro mentality and he really does know how to get the best out of every player. He's tightened up our defence, he's kept our counter attacking flair and wants to keep to our swimming speed, and we're probably one of the fastest," said Howden.

"In Your Face" (Portland Wrestling) (1976) 30-minutes
"In Your Face" is a rare collection of vintage interviews and ring footage of professional wrestlers from the Pacific Northwest.
These revealing and intimate interviews, filmed in the 1970s, were conducted far away from the screaming crowds of the Portland Sports Arena...many in their own home.
Dressed in regular street clothes, they sit back and discuss their private lives, and give us a rare insight into what it's really like to be a professional wrestler.
Interviewed are "Tough Tony" Borne; "The Royal Kangaroos" (Lord Jonathan Boyd and Norman Frederick Charles III); Johnny Eagles, "Apache" Bull Ramos; Dutch Savage; Jimmy "Superfly" Snooka; and a rare interview with promoter Elton Owen. Running time: 30-minutes.

Donald Trump won a landslide victory during Tuesday's California Republican primary, but still earned a lower percentage of votes than Mitt Romney did in 2012.
Only registered Republicans could vote in the Republican presidential primary. Trump earned 75 percent of the votes counted as of Friday. Romney earned 80 percent in 2012, with former U.S. Rep. Ron Paul siphoning off much of the rest.
All of Trump's major opponents had suspended their campaigns well before California's primary. So the fact they still received hundreds of thousands of votes could be viewed as a sign of disunity.
Trump got his strongest support among Republican voters in rural, northern parts of the state, including Colusa, Lassen, Modoc and Tehama counties. (Many of the same places supported Bernie Sanders over Hillary Clinton in the Democratic primary.)
Trump did not do as well among Republicans in several urban parts of the state, particularly around San Francisco and Los Angeles.
This map shows, by county, the areas where Trump received the highest and lowest proportion of Republican votes in the presidential primary.

In a recent announcement, Besty Devos, the education secretary declared that the department is halting the regulations, and starting a remake that may take about two years. The for-profit college industry has a connection with the federal Department of Education, and this may be the cause for the adjustment or overhaul of the two regulations designed by the Obama White House.
According to the Congressional Budget Office, the end of gainful employment will sap from the public about $1.3 billion during the next ten years. A scenario where predatory for-profit colleges win relief and students have no protection, as well tax payers is not right.
The gainful employment rule
This is a rule that is meant to hold schools responsible for their promises. It tries to compare what students stand to gain when they graduate to the amount they borrow to fend for their schooling. The gainful employment rule covers certificate programs that are not degree programs at nonprofit and public colleges. A case where a student goes for borrowing enormously, and after graduation get employed in a low-paying job, the gainful employment rule is placed under the 'falling' category. The program loses the financial aid it gets from the federal government if it fails in two years out of three.
According to the New York Times, the regulation is in its second year, and it's still efficient. During the early times of the laws, about 500 failing programs were recorded, this dropped to 300, and they shut down.
For-profit colleges often receive their significant revenue via federal financial help, and the government is charged with the duty of ensuring that it's backing not just a tale of fake promises.
Borrower defence to repaying
The borrower defence to repaying is the other regulation set aside. It was mapped out to kick start this month and will entail stipulated rules that entitle a student to win reliefs from federal loans if the school used non-transparent means to lure the student to borrow and attend.
This regulation is not aimed at creating an avenue for overlooking the students' responsibility; rather, it is geared towards capturing the bad actors. Some institution has pointed out that the regulation lacks the necessary to stop meritless lawsuits. They advocate that if the law should go on, let it not be halted along the line to start over again.
Federal officials discovered that some defrauding operators aim at exploiting students and cutting deep into the public funding. As such, they mapped out steps to discourage such activities, and in turn, protect the students who seek to develop their skills. The primary aim is to make the rule effective.

Laughter and Fibromyalgia
Have Fun with Fibromyalgia
For those of you who think Fibromyalgia is a bummer, I am here to tell you - you are right! However - it does have its funny times. You just have to look for them and then teach yourself to recall them in your mind to cheer yourself up when you need a smile.
Okay, you think I am nuts; so do a lot of people. So here is an example of a fun memory:
I sleep in a recliner because sleeping in a bed causes me really bad back pain.
So I try to keep my phone handy by my chair, just in case I need something. I can use the intercom to alert my husband who is in the bedroom. He's a pretty sound sleeper but he usually hears the phone.
Mind you this is a huge recliner: hard to get into and out of but oh so comfortable and supporting once you get settled. One night after a particularly hard day, I put my covers on the chair and sat down and then scooted back (I'm short) and whoosh! I scooted back too fast and the entire chair upended with me on my back, my legs straight up in the air and not an idea as to how to get up. Of course, the phone was right there in sight, out of reach. My loyal Snuggles was trying to comfort me by laying her head on my chest (I'm so grateful she is not a licker). Once I calmed down I knew I had to get my spouse's attention, but I did not want to scare him. He's no young chicken, or rooster! I hate being startled awake.
As I lay there pondering my situation, I futilely tried to turn any way at all to get myself up. I saw my toes and started laughing. I sure laughed a lot.
Finally I decided the head rush was getting to me - so I started making noises. I reached a CD off of the lower shelf, which was currently level with my head and started tapping on the wall - hoping it would awaken him as it was not a normal sound - right? WRONG!
By now my laughing was turning into tears, so I started calling his name, first not terribly loud and then so loud I'd not have been surprised to hear my neighbor knocking. When my yelling was in vain, my only thought was to sing.
Yup! I sang very loudly and very high pitched. Since I am one of the worst singers in the world THIS did wake my husband and he came quickly shuffling to the living room, took one look at me and burst out laughing.
Mind you, at the time I was pretty frustrated and his laughter did not help my mood. But he up-righted my chair, held me, and tucked me in and I was no worse for the wear! And my mood greatly improved as we laughed together.
Today when I picture that episode in my mind, it makes me smile and sometimes even chuckle.
You have to admit that that was a really funny story. Or perhaps you didn't find it very funny. If that is the case you need to lighten up! Don't take everything so seriously. It is bad for your fibromyalgia.
I suspect that you have some of those really silly stories in your portfolio. Just think back over time. If you are new to your diagnosis, take notes when things happen and return to them when you are down.
As a matter of fact, I recommend you always keep a journal. Over the years you will be glad you did. When the family is gone and you are alone, they make better reading than a Novel.
For now I do declare that Fibromyalgia can have its lighter side. And that in itself can be a healing factor. Learning to laugh at yourself and then remembering for the future.
Love and laughter I wish for each and every one of you!
Thankyou Pixienot for writing such a glorious hub article.
I absolutely loved reading your 'saga' (through tears of happiness mind you) and in doing so it helped me to recall several of my own 'clanger-moments' which put a smile on my dial. :-)
Ps. I love your new avatar!
Pixie- great hub. You're full of funny stories, it's great to see you and dad laugh about them!!
My son, 31, has fibromyalgia and it has nearly ruined his life. I am going to forward this to him. Thank you for the witty words. I enjoyed reading your Hub.
Thanks so much Christine and B. for reading and enjoying the story. I promise, every word of it is true! I even laugh when I think of myself upside down singing to the top of my lungs! :)
Thanks so much for stopping by.
You are such a Ray of Sunshine Pixie, and certainly an inspiration for others with Fibromyalgia...When we can laugh at ourselves others will laugh with us! LOL.
Thanks for sharing this story with us, Pixie... Ha-Ha every time I think of it I'll be laughing again. That will help with my Fibromyalgia. :o)

Rangers Texas 2 Split 50/50 Raffle to Begin in April
TORONTO, ON--(Marketwired - February 16, 2016) - 5050 Central Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Gaming Nation Inc. (TSX VENTURE: FAN), is pleased to announce that the company has reached an agreement with the Texas Rangers Baseball Foundation to facilitate the team's new charitable raffle, Texas 2 Split.
The Rangers Foundation 50/50 raffle will be implemented for all 2016 home games beginning with the Friday, April 1 exhibition game with the Cleveland Indians.
In November 2015, voters in Texas approved legislation that authorizes professional sports teams' charitable foundations to operate charitable raffles including 50/50 raffles during their home games. The partnership will see the Rangers Foundation utilize 5050 Central's industry leading real-time electronic 50/50 raffle system.
"The Texas Rangers ownership and management team played a key role in enacting legislative change in Texas to allow professional sports teams to expand their charitable fundraising. We are grateful for the opportunity to work with the Texas Rangers Baseball Foundation and look forward to supporting the great community initiatives this foundation continues to expand," commented Scott Secord, President/CEO of Gaming Nation.
Fans will be able to purchase Texas 2 Split raffle tickets at every Rangers home game from the time the ballpark gates open until the end of the 6th inning for a chance to win big while giving back to the Texas Rangers Baseball Foundation. One lucky fan has the opportunity to win half of the proceeds raised at each game, with the remaining proceeds benefitting the Texas Rangers Foundation. More information will be available at Texasrangers.com/texas2split.
Fans can purchase raffle tickets at six fixed touch-screen terminals located throughout Globe Life Park as well as with their mobile devices, providing faster transaction times, longer selling periods, accountability and substantial increases in average raffle proceeds.
"The Texas Rangers Baseball Foundation looks forward to working with 5050 Central to help implement the Texas 2 Split 50/50 raffle at every Rangers home game in 2016," commented Rangers Foundation Executive Director Karin Morris. "The impact that these raffles will have on the community cannot be overstated. We are excited to be able to make an even bigger difference in North Texas thanks to the support of our fans. We are proud to partner with 5050 Central as we launch our raffle."
The Texas Rangers Baseball Foundation is dedicated to improving the lives of children in need within our community and provides funding for youth in crisis, youth health initiatives, youth baseball programs, and youth education. Celebrating its 25th year in 2016, the Foundation has given back more than $13 million to help children in need.

Associated Press – Study Finds Fracking Chemicals Didn't Contaminate Drinking Water
AP reports that the federal study on hydraulic fracturing found no evidence chemicals used in hydraulic fracturing moved up to taint drinking water aquifers at a western Pennsylvania drilling site. After a year of study researchers found chemicals in fracking fluids used to free trapped natural gas stayed thousands of feet below areas that supply drinking water.

The Great Pie Roundup!
If it wasn't already here this week makes sure that pie season is in full swing! I've grouped up with some fellow bloggers to bring you some incredible and amazing pies!
Let's start off with my favorite! Pecan! This recipe is very similar to the one my mother and I use but we add the pecans at the end and in the last few years I've been switching to chopped pecans (pictured at the top!).
Simple, classic, and delicious. I found a classic recipe as well as fancy take that sounds AMAZING! Try either or both!
Whoa, this one will knock your socks off. Miri at Miri in the Village blows me away! This is a Red Wine Rosemary and Pear Pie and it is amazing. I wowed friends with this concoction as soon as I got the recipe!
To say that I was excited when I found this pie post Whole30 is a gross understatement. It is AMAZING!!!! Regardless of whether you are eating healthier or not try it.

Thoughts on the Dad Bod
The dad bod. It's catchy.
Earlier this year, BuzzFeed released an article featuring the man, the myth, the legend, Leonardo DiCaprio. The photos accompanying the article featured Leo sporting an array of swim trunks. With the scroll of a mouse, one could see the Titanic heart throb was flaunting a less-than-perfect body. Without further detail, the article opened the flood-gates for the trend known as, the dad bod.
For those of you who don't know, the dad bod is the body type that is commonly flaunted by American males between the ages of 35 and 55. Support has been offered to the softer male figure by providing numerous examples, stapled with flexible truths.
With battle lines drawn, I've been hesitant to write this piece. Numerous angles create the potential for countless ruffled feathers. As found within many of my writings, I'm going to do my best to remain factual, while providing a general middle ground.
As a society, I believe we are now beginning to realize the difference between a "healthy body" and the bodies we see on newsstands. For many of us, in order to maintain chiseled six-pack abs, we would have to give up A LOT.
In fact, for many of us, we would have to make the endeavor "our life". Tupperware packed meals, skipping family birthday cakes, forgotten happy hours, protein shakes on-the-go...the list goes on and on. My point being, in order to maintain what society classifies as a "perfect body", you'd have to be willing to make countless sacrifices and lifestyle adjustments.
In the same breath, I believe we have established the difference between a healthy body and a body that has been momentarily neglected. The question lies in whether or not we classify the dad bod as an acceptably healthy or unhealthy body?
Is a male body that has been lavished with numerous "brews", late night pizzas, and a scroll of skipped workouts the new gold-standard?
Does this body project a level of true confidence, character, and originality?
Is this what males should be striving for?
Before we go any further, let's address the flip side of the coin as it relates to the sociological expectations surrounding the female body. In large part, I believe it's safe to say that society expects women to be fit and shapely. Yet, it's now acceptable for guys to "let themselves go" beginning somewhere during their mid-twenties?
Diving into the specifics, a flurry of dad bod articles revealed the notion that women don't like to snuggle with a "rock".
Well, duh.
But why are we correlating a healthy, fit male body with a piece igneous or limestone? Is that how we view a male who has the discipline to get his "eight hours", eat right, and exercise regularly?
The articles also mentioned that women don't like their significant other to look better than they do. Since when did it become a competition? As a collective society, it would be beautiful to witness healthy couples supporting one another on all fronts including self-image.
Let's go a step further and view this discussion through a scientific lens. Yes, as males get older testosterone levels will naturally begin to drop. There's no denying that aging is accompanied by a general decrease in muscle mass, alongside other natural changes.
In my eyes, there's absolutely no shame in this. As long as you make the conscious decision to continue to fight the good fight and live healthy. However, it seems backwards to fabricate this change within the "prime of your career". Aging due to physiological factors is one thing. Making the decision to facilitate the process early in life because BuzzFeed said it was cool is another.
And what about the psychological factors associated with premature aging?
Sure collaborating with your buddies to place the dad bod onto a pedestal might be humorous and acceptable right now, but what about when the major media outlets move on to write about something relevant?
And what about functionality? Is the dad bod equipped to hike mountains, paddle rivers, and tackle adventures? When broken down, this is perhaps one of the most significant points of this blog. After all, our explorations often create life's greatest moments.
Whether your vision of yourself is positive or negative, it has a direct impact on the life you live. Your self-image and self-esteem impact your day-to-day productiveness, your relationships, and ultimately your happiness. In my personal opinion, this is the point in the discussion when the decision to embrace the dad bod becomes very black and white.
When the dust settles, will you be proud of what you represent?
It's ultimately your decision to create your own body and life. It's not my place to tell you what to do or how to live. I'll be the first to say that I have plenty of flaws to keep myself busy. However, I will say that comparing yourself to Leonardo DiCaprio might be a poor decision. There's a good chance that the two of you may share more than a few differences.
My friend, that's more than alright. You should already know that life's not about celebrity status, bank rolls, and private jets.

GENEVA (Reuters) - El Nino weather conditions could return to heat up the planet later this year, although neutral conditions are slightly more likely, the U.N.'s World Meteorological Organization (WMO) said in a statement on Thursday.
Climate models surveyed by the WMO suggested a 50 percent chance of neutral conditions continuing in the second half of 2017, with a 35-40 percent chance of El Nino developing, and only a slight chance of La Nina, which tends to have a cooling effect.

An ambitious campaign by DraftFCB, Mini and the SPCA that put homeless mutts behind the wheel of a modified Mini has taken the cake as the most shared video on BBC three days running, with 225,000 shares to Facebook and 7,900 to Twitter, and ranks as the biggest news event on Campbell Live in its seven-and-a-half year history.
"We've lost track [on the campaign uptake], it's gone so incredibly crazy. Pretty much every major news outlet in every country has covered it," says executive creative director Regan Grafton.
The YouTube footage of "Dogs this smart deserve a home" has fuelled the fire with over 900,000 video views of their clips and related uploaded videos – and that's not including the Campbell Live clip on Monday night, which showed Porter the dog driving reporter Tristram Clayton around a carting track in Avondale.
In the US the canine racers have featured on the The Letterman Show, Huffington Post, USA Today, Mashable.com, ABC News, and FastCo, while in the UK it appeared in The Daily Telegraph, The Sun, The Daily Mail, The Guardian, BBC, and over in Oz it made it onto Sunrise, The Age, and NineMSN. And the driving dogs quickly staked out their place as the top story of the week here on Idealog.
"On the Guardian it's the most viewed and talked about all week – it kicked Kate Middleton out of number one," says Grafton.
Angela Spain, general manager of PR, said "We hoped it would be huge, but we never expected it go global in the way it has. We have had unprecedented interest and enquiries from every corner of the Earth."
Back home, Kiwi media has also run rampant with New Zealand Herald, Nightline, Stuff.co.nz and the Herald on Sunday all getting a slice of the action, not least because of Campbell Live's coverage. Its teasing out over a week, from introduction to live-driving, let the story propagate around the world.
DraftFCB creative Peter Vegas says the Campbell Live shoot possibly covered Porter's worst driving session ever (Porter couldn't quite make the corner) but that it added to the drama and the comedy factor, with support for his fumbling paws rolling in from around the globe.
"People have made heroes of the dogs which is what we were after," says Vegas.
Besides, not going to script was part of the feel of the project. Special effects weren't part of the plan," says DraftFCB creative Matt Williams. "From the get-go we wanted it to be real, with no jiggery-pokery going on."
Grafton says it's not just the New Zealand SPCA that has had a massive increase in enquiries for dogs. Anecdotally, shelters in the UK and the US have had interest as well.
"We are hoping it will have a halo effect for shelters of dogs globally," they said.
For Vegas, his defining moment of the campaign was when David Letterman himself said "I love this story as life itself", making it the theme of the Top 10 on the show.
Many viewers have requested more footage of dogs driving so a recap was shown on Campbell Live again last night.
This Sunday, viewers have a chance day to meet the dogs at the Mangere SPCA 10.30am til 2.30pm, with the Mini, rig and trainers also in attendance.

Passata di pomodoro
1,2 kilograms Tinned Italian plum tomatoes, (three 400g tins)
2 stalks Celery, cut in half
1 large Carrot, peeled and cut into 4 equal chunks
1 Red onion, peeled and cut into quarters
1/2 cup Basil
1/2 teaspoon Sugar
3 tablespoons Olive oil
Vegetable stacks
1 large Aubergine, Sliced
1 large Yellow Bell Pepper
1 large Courgette, Sliced
1 large Red Bell Pepper
2 Leeks, White parts only – cut into 2 parts lengthwise
20 grams Bread crumbs
20 grams Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons Olive oil
1/2 cup Flat leaf parsely
4 thin slices Mozarella cheese
300 grams Passata di pomodoro
1. To make the passata:
Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the vegetables and basil to the hot oil and fry for five minutes. Add the tinned tomatoes. Season with salt and sugar. When the sauce starts to boil, reduce the heat and let it simmer for 45 minutes to one hour. Stir frequently to break up the tomatoes. When the sauce is ready, strain out the vegetables and basil. Put the tomatoes through a food mill to smooth out the sauce and remove the seeds. Left over sauce should be allowed to cool to room temperature, then stored in a sterilized jar in the refrigerator. Use as a base for pizzas or pasta sauces.
2. To make the vegetable stacks:
Grease a baking tray with half the olive oil. Preheat your oven to 200℃.
3. Remove the core and seeds from the bell peppers and cut each into 5 pieces. Lay all the sliced vegetables on the greased baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Combine the parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs and parsley in a food processor and pulse for 30 seconds. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the vegetables. Sprinkle over the rest of the olive oil. Use your fingers to sprinkle over the passata di pomodoro. Put in the oven and cook for 30 to 35 minutes until all the vegetables are cooked through.
5. Use a food ring to layer and stack the vegetables. Finish each stack with a slice of mozzarella cheese and place under the oven grill until the cheese is melted and starts to blister. Place in a bowl and add additional tomato passata. Serve immediately.

It's rare that an online campaign manages to not only be interesting but also has a strong tie back to a product and its benefit. That's really the sweet spot between agency and advertiser that is seldom hit; usually the solutions are too crazy / gratuitously weird or the opposite, boring and cliche.
I stumbled upon a clever little site that manages to strike that balance — an online campaign by Canon called, Your Second Shot. It's not a complicated idea at all: giving people a second attempt to shoot a photograph that turned out to be less than perfect because of bad lighting. On the site you'll be able to watch background stories about the missed shot and how the photographer (and subject) were redeemed by the hero, a line of cameras made with low-light technology built-in. (Something Canan calls the HS System.) My only hope is that not all the stories feature people that could be models and are more 'everyday' than the first two.
The site was just launched and most of the missed shots are 'coming soon' but I thought this simple solution was warm, charming and totally communicates something for the client too. I'm sure these stories will be cut-down to :30 television spots (and they should/could be); but it's the details in the longer formats that make the second shot worth getting; and watching. You can also submit your own photo and win a chance to have a second shot at capturing the moment.
I'd post one of the videos, but currently they don't give you an option to embed. Tssk, tssk. So go to the site link above if you are so inclined.
I know that Dentsu America does a lot of work for Canon, though I'm not sure if they partnered up with a digtal shop to produce this effort. I do know that I think it's a nice piece of storytelling and a really simple idea that works. It probably won't win a Gold Lion or anything, but it's the type of work that will go under the radar and still work for camera company.

Instant Arts Classroom Funds
What are Instant Arts Classroom Funds?
These funds are granted to teachers to fund arts projects throughout the school year. Teachers can use funds to take their student on a field trip to a cultural event or museum, or bring a teaching artist into the classroom!
The arts are essential. They teach students innumerable lessons—practice makes perfect, small differences can have large effects, collaboration leads to creativity. The arts also teach children that there a several paths to take when approaching problems and that all problems can have more than one solution.
Research has also shown impressive benefits of arts education on entire school culture—especially student motivation, attitudes, and attendance. These programs are even shown to have positive effects on test scores in other areas, specifically math, science, and reading. Numerous reports discuss the ways that increased access and involvement in arts education encourage students to stay in school, succeed in school, succeed in work, and succeed in life.
Arts Quincy is committed to making the arts available to every student. For more information on our Instant Arts Classroom Funds, contact us at 217-222-3432 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

On the jacket:
More terrifying than the savage murder of historian Ram Mathur on the ghats of Ganga, are the questions that follow. Desperate for answers, Sia turns to esoteric writer & friend Om Patnaik. But what begins as a hunt for the killer, becomes an extraordinary trail of riddles strewn across the country, that must end at the gates of an enigma. An ancient enigma so powerful that even gods would kill for it!!! In another time and space, rules an Emperor who plays with phenomenal forces that make him supreme…who faces these very forces when they threaten the survival of the human race. An Emperor who must ultimately pay homage to the enigma… As Patnaik and Sia race from one riddle to another, towards a royal secret that has remained alive for centuries….will the final truth, save them or destroy them forever? The path beckons. Can you solve The Emperor's Riddles?
The Emperor's Riddles is Satyarth Nayak's debut novel, and to be frank, it doesn't feel like one. Of late, I have read quite a few mythological fiction, and to be frank, I was almost done with this genre. Nothing new was coming in, and this book proved to be different. An intelligent thriller, the book starts off with a murder.
Om Patnaik, India's best selling author, has a fixation for the number 9. Ptanaik's friend and a scholar, Ram Mathur is found dead in the banks of the Ganga. Om gets a call from Ram's daughter, and is asked to rush to the spot. Om and Sia, Ram's daughter, get down to solving the mystery behind Ram's murder.
This is now. Running parallely is the story of an emperor with powers that lead to be a threat to the entire human race. What is also wonderful about this plot is that it is based on Buddhism, a religion we don't really know much about, in-depth.
Extremely well-researched, the contents have been spun tightly into a gripping novel, one needs to read if they are fans of either thriller, or mythology or both! Characters are well defined and diverse. Running two plots parallely, that too of different eras, it not very easy. Nayak has done a smooth job in this. The wonderful part about this story is that it is a nice cocktail or mystery, history and fiction. And, that the language is simple. The author has made no attempt to overdo his writing skills and use fancy words, the text is simple and smooth.
Rating: ****.5/5

Sentimental Sunday: Virtual Field Trip to the Wood Homestead of 1914
Thanks to postcards like these, I have compiled a listing of addresses for Wally and the Wood family from 1907-1918. The address for 1914 was 456 E. 124 Street in Cleveland.
The color photo (left) shows what the house looked like in 2016. Now see the b/w photo of two young Wood brothers standing in front of their house on Lancelot Avenue (at right) in 1911.
The homes were literally around the corner from each other in Cleveland. Apparently my husband's great-grandpa, James Edgar Wood, built the same style home many times during his long career as a carpenter and home builder in Cleveland.
Taking relatives on virtual field trips like this helps keep family history alive and relevant for the next generation!

Blu-ray burning its high-def DVD rival
EmptyOf the high-definition discs bought by consumers in the first quarter, 70% were in the Blu-ray Disc format and 30% were HD DVD, according to sales figures provided by Home Media Magazine's market research department.
Blu-ray took the lead in February, and its percentage of total sales accelerated to the point where it accounted for nearly three out of every four high- definition discs sold in March.
What's more, when given the choice, consumers are going with Blu-ray. Warner Home Video released "The Departed" the same day, Feb. 13, in both formats. Between then and March 31, consumers bought 53,640 copies of the film on Blu-ray Disc and 31,590 on HD DVD, according to Home Media Magazine's market research, based on studio estimates and Nielsen VideoScan point-of-sale data.
Research also shows that eight of the 10 top-selling high-definition titles in the first quarter were on Blu-ray Disc. At the top of the list is Sony Pictures Home Entertainment's "Casino Royale," which sold through to consumers an estimated 59,680 units in the first quarter. The Blu-ray Disc edition of "Departed" finished second, while the HD DVD version of that Oscar-winning film placed third.
From Jan. 1-March 31, consumers bought almost 1.2 million high-definition discs — 832,530 Blu-ray units and 359,300 HD DVDs — according to Home Media Magazine. In March, consumers bought 335,980 Blu-ray Discs and 119,570 HD DVDs.
Since the high-def format's inception — HD DVD launched in April 2006, while Blu-ray got rolling two months later — more than 2.14 million discs have been purchased by consumers: 1.2 million Blu-ray Discs and about 937,500 HD DVDs.
Observers aren't surprised by the disparity, noting that Blu-ray Disc enjoys the support of five of the six major studios, while HD DVD is supported by three of them. Three studios — Sony Pictures Home Entertainment, Buena Vista Home Entertainment and 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment — are exclusively in the Blu-ray camp, as is mini-major Lionsgate, while Paramount Home Entertainment and Warner Home Video support both formats. Universal Studios Home Entertainment is the only major studio to release titles only in the HD DVD format, which backers claim is easier and cheaper to produce.
"All of this data points to the irrefutable facts that the consumers are voting with their dollars and adopting the revolutionary technology of the Blu-ray Disc," Buena Vista Home Entertainment president Bob Chapek said. "With such beloved titles as 'Pirates of the Caribbean' on the horizon, these numbers will only do one thing: grow."
Added Sony Pictures Home Entertainment president David Bishop: "Breaking the 1 million-unit mark is a significant milestone for Blu-ray because it represents rapidly growing consumer acceptance for this revolutionary platform. I am confident that the numbers will increase and more critical benchmarks will be reached to ensure Blu-ray's position as the leading high-definition format."
20th Century Fox Home Entertainment president Mike Dunn agreed.
"Practically, Blu-ray launched this past November and in just over one business quarter has rocketed to a significant lead," Dunn said. "Consumers are clearly choosing Blu-ray as their high-def format of choice and telling us so at retail cash registers."
The three HD DVD studios wielded weak release slates in the first quarter; behind "Departed," the next biggest-selling HD DVD was "Batman Begins," which had been released in October. The title sold 16,980 HD DVDs in the first quarter, but factoring in its initial sales, it stands at 44,590 units, not far behind "Casino Royale."
Blu-ray supporters also were quick to hail the widening gap between Blu-ray and HD DVD titles.
"It's exactly what we've said all along would happen: The strong support for Blu-ray among movie studio and equipment manufacturers means that consumers have more choices when it comes to players and titles," said Andy Parsons, chair of the Blu-ray Disc Assn.'s U.S. promotion committee. "And they're choosing Blu-ray by an ever-increasing margin."
