Scaling, Sensitivity and Stability in the Numerical Solution of Quadratic Eigenvalue ProblemsREA AuditadoThe most common way of solving the quadratic eigenvalue problem (QEP)
$(\l^2 M + \l D + K)x=0$ is to convert it into a linear problem
$(\l X + Y)z=0$ of twice the dimension and solve the linear problem
by the QZ algorithm or a Krylov method.
In doing so, it is important to understand the influence of the linearization
process on the accuracy and stability of the computed solution.
We discuss these issues for three particular linearizations:
the standard companion linearization
and two linearizations that preserve symmetry in the problem.
For illustration we employ
a model QEP describ
THE EQUATION [x,u]+[y,v]=0 IN FREE LIE ALGEBRASREA AuditadoWe investigate equations of the form [x,u]+[y,v]=0 over a free Lie algebra
L. In the case where u and v are free generators of L, we
exhibit two series of solutions, we
work out the dimensions of the homogeneous components of the
solution space, and we determine its radical. In
the general case we show that the results on free generator
coefficients are sufficient to obtain the solution space up to
finite codimension. As an application we determine the radical of
the bilinear equation [x_1,x_2]+[x_3,x_4]=0.
Backward Error of Polynomial Eigenproblems Solved by LinearizationREA AuditadoThe most widely used approach for solving the polynomial eigenvalue problem
$P(\lambda)x = \bigl(\sum_{i=0}^m \l^i A_i\bigr) x = 0$
in $n\times n$ matrices $A_i$ is to
linearize to produce a larger order pencil $L(\lambda) = \lambda X + Y$,
whose eigensystem is then found by any method for generalized eigenproblems.
For a given polynomial $P$, infinitely many linearizations $L$ exist
and approximate eigenpairs of $P$ computed via
linearization can have widely varying backward errors.
Two main factors affect the backward error.
First, because $L$ is usually highly structured, perturba
Conjugacy problem in HNN-extensions: regular elements and black holesREA AuditadoWe discuss the complexity of conjugacy problem in HNN-extensions of groups. We stratify the groups in question and show that for ``almost all'', in some explicit sense, elements, the conjugacy search problem is decidable.
Longitudinal and Cross-Sectional Analysis of Cytotoxic T Lymphocyte (CTL) Responses and their Relationship to Vertical HIV TransmissionREA AuditadoThe ARIEL Project for the Prevention of HIV Transmission from Mother to Infant was established to evaluate virologic and immunologic parameters during vertical transmission. To determine the strength and breadth of the cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) response and its correlation with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) transmission, a cross-sectional study was done of 31 HIV-infected pregnant women, of whom 15 transmitted and 16 did not transmit HIV to their infants.
Implicit Gamma Theorems (I): Pseudoroots and PseudospectraREA AuditadoLet g : E → F be an analytic function between two Hilbert spaces E and F. We study the set g(B(x, ε)) ⊂ E, the image under g of the closed ball about x∈ E with radius ε . When g(x) expresses the solution of an equation depending on x , then the elements of g(B(x,ε )) are ε -pseudosolutions. Our aim is to investigate the size of the set g(B(x,ε )) . We derive upper and lower bounds of the following form:
g(x) + Dg (x) ( B(0, c 1 ε N))
g(B(x,ε ))
g(x) +Dg (x) ( B(0, c 2 ε ) ),
where Dg (x) denotes the derivative of g at x .
Simultaneous tridiagonalization of two symmetric matricesREA AuditadoWe show how to simultaneously reduce a pair of symmetric matrices to tridiagonal form by congruence transformations. No assumptions are made on the non-singularity or definiteness of the two matrices. The reduction follows a strategy similar to the one used for the tridiagonalization of a single symmetric matrix via Householder reflectors.
Parallel implementation of a symmetric eigensolver based on the Yau and Lu methodREA AuditadoIn this paper, we present preliminary results on a complete eigensolver based on the Yau and Lu method. We first give an overview of this invariant subspace decomposition method for dense symmetric matrices followed by numerical results and work in progress of a distributed-memory implementation. We expect that the algorithm's heavy reliance on matrix-matrix multiplication, coupled with FFT should yield a highly parallelizable algorithm. We present performance results for the dominant computation kernel on the Intel Paragon.
Perturbation theory for homogeneous polynomial eigenvalue problemsREA AuditadoWe consider polynomial eigenvalue problems P(A,alpha,beta)x=0 in which the matrix polynomial is homogeneous in the eigenvalue (alpha,beta)&unknown;C2. In this framework infinite eigenvalues are on the same footing as finite eigenvalues. We view the problem in projective spaces to avoid normalization of the eigenpairs. We show that a polynomial eigenvalue problem is well-posed when its eigenvalues are simple.
Structured tools for structured matricesREA AuditadoAn extensive and unified collection of structure-preserving
transformations is presented and organized for easy reference.
The structures involved arise in the context of a non-degenerate
bilinear or sesquilinear form on R^n or C^n. A variety of
transformations belonging to the automorphism groups of these
forms, that imitate the action of Givens rotations, Householder
reflectors, and Gauss transformations are constructed.

Happy Star Wars day everybody! I made this fan-art piece just for the fun of it. The idea came to my mind with the excitement after seeing one of the latest entries in the film franchise. I sketched it right away but it was "sitting" on a folder on my computer for over a year. I could finally squeeze some time to finish it up just in time for May the 4th. WIP video at the bottom.
Final Blow, a Star Wars homage
Personal image. An homage to the Star Wars universe.

Inquiries, insights, and imaginings from a small town girl who wants to do some good in this life.
Tuesday, July 5, 2011
Any Questions?
I remember once asking him, "Do dogs go to Heaven when they die?" He responded with a sensitive discussion but one which I completely tuned out because the bottom line of his answer was that animals do not have souls and thus cannot go to Heaven. I remember giving his words a lot of thought but ultimately coming to the conclusion that he is WRONG. To this day I believe that Heaven would not be Heaven for me and countless others unless dogs (and other animals) are there too. And that's that.
Another time I told him about how I'd seen this television movie which put a man in a horrifying situation of being forced to select one of his fellow captives to die. If he did not select one person, the bad guys would kill multiple people. I knew that to participate in a murder is a sin and yet I was puzzled by what the man's options were. That was the day that my Sunday school teacher talked to me about the "lesser of two evils". It is a conversation that has actually helped me in several situations over the past 30 years, although thankfully, none have been as extreme as in that television movie.
Each time I see my Sunday school teacher I smile. I completely respect the man for being so forthright with us children and for inviting us to ask him questions about our faith, church, morality. He wholeheartedly embraced our curiosity and inquisitiveness and did his best to be there for us. It is a practice that I adopt when teaching and in raising my own three children. Although I have to admit that repeatedly being asked questions by a nosy busybody with an agenda is obnoxious, with most people's inquiries I have never been intimidated, however difficult, complicated, or sensitive. I may not always have all the answers but I do my best to respond to questions as honestly as I can. And when I do not know an answer, I invite my children or my teenage students to find other resources where we can discover the answer or explore possible responses at the very least. Simply put, I open the door for any and all questions and I do my best to help find answers, because sometimes, it just helps to be allowed to ask questions, to get them out of their heads and into the open.
I still have questions. Many are about the past or the future, questions that, truthfully, are probably best left alone. Today is all we have, after all. Still, sometimes I think to myself, "If only I could sit down with Mr. M today and get his take on this".

My original plan was to write a post for each day and apparently this would be too time consuming and I have to succumb to the force of time LOL, 10 posts condensed into the current post.
My departure was:
CX 207 (31 May 2011) from HKG to Moscow Domodedovo.
There are 3 airports at Moscow and CX only fly to Domodedovo. There are airport express equivalent (i.e. aeroexpress) going to Moscow town centre – Paveletsky station, which is a metro station as well. During our time of travel, MasterCard was offering a discount on the aeroexpress tickets.
First impression was that it seemed to be a lot safer than what I had heard but of course, remain alert is key in a metro station full of tourist. Just try yourself to blend in 🙂
We weren't sure how long it would take to get to the train station for St Petersberg's train, so we decided to go to that station first. Again, a metro station (i.e. Komsomol'skaya) is connected to the train station (i.e. Leningradskiv). This turned out to be a great decision as there were 3 train stations and no English signs were there.
One thing came to our attention so far was that it is extremely difficult to find a person that can speak English at basic level, even at the airport. We tried to buy phone sim card at the airport and took us almost an hour to get our points across.
As we got our tickets online (again trekking through muddy water of their rzd Russian site to register and purchase the tickets online), it requires a redemption of actual tickets before boarding. Unless you could read Russian, again you have to redeem tickets at counter since the redemption machine is in Russian only. Again, they don't usually speak English, so it is highly recommended to buy tickets online and redeem it at train station. Their official website has English version but no online purchase is allowed, so you must buy it at the Russian version site. You may also use agents but the mark-up is about 100%. My own view is that going through the whole process of booking it from their Russian site is fun and a great experience. Why not giving it a go?
Our train to St Petersberg wasn't the Sapsan train made by Spanish but it was also an express and only took us about 20 minutes longer than the Sapsan. They serve food and drink on train and it's not prohibitive expensive. We paid RU50 for a bottle of water.
Scenery along the route is great and I did enjoy it a lot. Tranquility is something you would find if you take it all in. The train we took had several stops but it was very punctual. In case you don't know, trains in Russia are very punctual since the operator's salary is directly linked to the punctuality.
St Petersberg train station (i.e. Moskovskiy vokzal) is also linked to a metro station (i.e. Ploshchad Vosstaniya). In St Petersberg, if you're carrying luggage, you need 2 coins to travel (i.e. 1 coin is for your luggage).
We stayed at Courtyard Marriott Vasilievsky, which is by the river – reka Mal Neva, and within walkable distance to various sight-seeing point. A metro station is about 7 mins walk from the hotel.
During our stay in St Petersberg, we visited Peter and Paul Fortress, Winter Palace, Alexander Column, Railing of Summer Garden (Summer Garden was under renovation when we visited), Mosque of the Congregation of Muslems, Rostral Columns, Birzha, the Admiralty, the Church of Spilled Blood, a few monuments and catherdals. I won't comment much on these points of interest as you really have to be there to experience.
One suggestion I would give – WALK WALK and WALK. We walk in average 10 hours a day and you can really soak up the atmosphere etc. Another suggestion – bring a map with both English and Russian language.
Food are great in St Petersberg and we never had a single meal that was bad, except a soup we ordered at a 24 hours cafe but other items were great at that cafe. It is more common for them to have English menu, compared to Moscow, even at the cheap 1. A restaurant highly recommended was the Kafe Lagidze, serving Georgian food. It was visited by locals and Georgian a lot.
People are friendly and to be honest, I felt even safer there than when I am in Mongkok. Nothing to be afraid of, just do what the Russians do.
On the way back to Moscow, we took the overnight train and a 1st class room was booked. The room wasn't spacious but newly retrofitted. It was clean and had two pillows for each bed. I personally find that 2nd class is unacceptable as 4 ppl fitting into such a small (they are of the same size of ours). I ain't sure if all trains have been retrofitted but the one we took was impossible for someone to open the lock from outside. No safety concern at all. Someone will wake you up when it's 5-10 minutes before arriving the destination. Both of us slept well and it was a fun experience.
The hotel we stayed at Moscow was Renaissance Moscow Hotel. About 5-10 minutes walk from Metro – Prospekt Mira and the lobby has recently been renovated. It also has free shuttle to red square and pushkin square. Lufthansa, Emirates and Singapore Airlines are using this hotel for their crews too.
People are stone-face but surprising helpful too. Don't get intimidated or offended by that. One interest story was that we got on a wrong bus at a mega mall when we left, which we risked our lives of going there (literally as we ran across highway exits >_
One interesting observation is that locals enjoyed outdoor even when it was freezing and restaurants did provide blankets for you to keep yourself cozy and warm.
Pushkin museum is a must-visit, so is the Armoury and Red Square. BTW, don't line up just because you see people lining up. That's the hint I could give you and it's up to you to transform it into something more useful LOL
If you wanna feel the Soviet atmosphere, St Petersberg isn't for you as you don't really see many buildings in such style. Moscow, however, have quite a number. White building, former KGE headquarter etc. Maybe that's why people don't smile in Moscow as they were taught so back then.
St Petersberg, however, is more liberal and in many cases, you feel like you are in France. I personally enjoy both cities a lot but I could be more relaxed in St Petersberg for sure.
One thing I must repeat – BE THE LOCAL… I wasn't polite at ticket booth etc… just as the local did. I didn't smile in Moscow either unless taking photos. No police, soliders etc ever pestered me at all even we bumped into a few of them.
It was a great trip and I will go back to Russia for sure!

DH's best friend is considering moving here from another state and moving in with us. He has a "lady friend" that lives here and they broke up a year ago, but are talking about getting back together. He is staying with us for about a week now while he decides. So I think it would be awesome if he moves in, he is a great friend, it be fun to have him around, plus he would pay some rent too. We figured $250.00 a month, which would cover rent and utilities. He would have his own room and bathroom, plus we never use the living room downstairs so he would have an area to himself with a TV. Then we could put that full $250.00 to mortgage principle. Of course I have had roomates before and I know it is not all fun and smiles. But the friend is very laid back and sweet and don't think it will be like when I had female roomates when I was 18, lol. So probably getting ahead of ourselves already, but if he did move in that would be awesome for the mortgage, so we shall see!

The ReShape Duo, developed by California-based Reshape Medical, is the world's only dual intra-gastric balloon. The dual balloon has 3 potential advantages over traditional single gastric balloons: the shape of the dual balloon fits the natural curvature of the stomach, allowing it to sit in a more comfortable position; the two balloons can hold up to 900ml of saline occupying more space in the stomach,; and as each balloon is filled and sealed independently, in the unlikely chance a balloon should deflate, the other balloon will hold the device in place until it can be removed.
If you think this programme could be right for you and you're considering making an investment in ending your weight loss struggle once and for all – then we'd love to talk with you. We invite you to call us on 0333 200 2612, or click this link, and schedule a free no obligation 'slim and fit for life' exploratory call with one of our weight loss coaches to discuss the suitability of this programme for your needs. What have you got to lose – other than a few pounds?
Traditional methods of weight loss can often be tiresome and, frankly, dull. But it doesn't have to be this way. There are several ways to get fit that eschew the gym and the jogging pants. Dance has seen a resurgence in recent years and is also an excellent form of exercise. Many gyms offer classes you can attend for a fee. But if you're especially keen on learning a skill, Pineapple Dance Studios offers classes for beginners. There are no joining fees and you simply pay a reasonable fee upon entry. For those into Salsa, check out Caramelo Latin Dance School, where both regular courses or one-day intensive session are available. For those looking for an intense detox and weight loss package, then Barry's Bootcamp may be suitable. They boast impressive results, but be prepared to work!
(Please note: Both the Fat Burn and the Cardio Program on the treadmill use an age related calculation to determine your training heart rate intensity. We do not recommend you to use these programs. This range is generally not an appropriate range for cardiac patients as most are on a beta-blocker which lowers heart rate. Please follow your heart rate guidelines (Training Heart Rate) prescribed for you by your kinesiologists as this is a more accurate range for you.)
Secondly, our nutritional approach uses a method that has been shown to be much more user friendly than counting calories (calories on food packaging can be out by up to 25%!) and doesn't rely on weighing every morsel of food that passes your lips. Our nutritional approach is about achieving optimal health while gradually increasing the quantity of food you are allowed while supporting muscle growth and fat loss. This is important as the industry 'standard' approach is to restrict/decrease food as time goes on which leads to muscle breakdown and a lower metabolism – both of which are disastrous as far as fat loss is concerned.

A: The clinically-proven UltraShape procedure is the most widely used non-invasive solution for fat reduction and body contouring. It uses focused ultrasound to target and reduce unwanted localized fat deposits, reduce body circumference and improve body shape. The UltraShape procedure is intended to help average to modestly overweight men and women reduce localized fat deposits around the abdomen, flanks (love handles), hips and thighs. It offers a totally non-invasive, painless no downtime alternative to patients seeking reduced circumference (a slimmer body) and an improved body contour. UltraShape involves no incisions, needles, injections, recovery time or maintenance treatments whatsoever. UltraShape is an ideal non-surgical procedure that enables men and women to improve their figure, go down in clothing size, and improve the shape in problem fatty areas that regular diet and exercise usually don't get rid of.
Dr Rajeswaran founded the National Diabesity Forum in 2008. National Diabesity Forum provides a network for health professionals involved in the management of Diabesity (Diabetes and Obesity).

Sustained weight loss for patients who are morbidly obese—usually defined as being 100 pounds or more over ideal body weight or having a body mass index of 40 or higher—is even harder to achieve. And serious health risks have been identified for people who move from diet to diet, subjecting their bodies to a severe and continuing cycle of weight loss and gain known as "yo-yo dieting."
Discover what causes your cravings and how to eliminate it – in addition to the emotional causes of over-eating, and the craving to eat the wrong foods, you will also discover the physiological ones – and how to eliminate them. By following our weight loss approach you will stop the cravings and discover a way to lose weight, without feeling hungry, that you can stick to it long-term.

Sustainable weight loss – You'll not only lose weight, but you'll end the yo-yo dieting cycle so that you keep the weight off permanently. Our long-term approach means that you'll not only lose weight and get fitter and healthier, but you'll also tackle the underlying causes of your past eating patterns and weight gain so they become a thing of the past.

The biggest mistake the fitness industry makes when it comes to female fat loss is prescribing too much cardiovascular exercise which can actually reduce fat burning capacity! At Embody we take a different, and much more scientific, approach to female fat loss by structuring programmes so that metabolism is increased in the days following each session and, long term, metabolism is greater even at rest!
Medi-Weightloss® was developed by physicians, registered dietitians, and health professionals in the area of weight loss to help you control your calorie and carbohydrate intake while eating the optimum amount of protein to preserve muscle mass. The Medi-Weightloss® Program is evidence-based to result in a successful lifestyle change. When administering the treatment, Medi-Weightloss® healthcare providers take each patient's unique health profile into account, which is what makes us The One that Works!®
Bariatric weight loss surgeries, such as gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy or laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB), force patients to drastically reduce the amount of food they consume by surgically creating a small stomach pouch. Most gastric procedures reduce the stomach's holding capacity from about two quarts to two ounces. When eating, this pouch fills quickly. Because patients feel satisfied and full sooner, they eat less.
Currently, over 24% of men and 26% of women in England are in the clinically obese classification. By using cutting edge key hole surgery we quicken recovery time, minimise scarring and guarantee a successful operation. This will be combined with a range of additional health complications that come from carrying an unhealthy amount of extra weight. Get in touch today for a free consultation with a weight loss specialist. I did not take them for the first week because of my doubts but I have to say, that apart from a dry mouth for the first few days, they were marvelous and I lost weight almost like magic. London has long had a reputation as a world leading centre of excellence in the area of bariatric surgery. Talk to you about your lifestyle and dietary habits. BMI 30-35 cuts life expectancy up to 4 yrs. After a consultation we may decide surgery is the most effective and long term solution. The doctor prescribed for me a course of tablets and a diet.

Education & Academics in Southwest Idaho
For those moving to a new location, it's important to know what educational options are available. This chapter outlines the public schools system in Elmore County and its surrounding areas, along with information about local libraries and higher education. There are private schools, charter schools and home schooling available to children in the area as well.
To be enrolled in an Idaho school, a child must be at least 5 years old by Sept. 1 of the school year. Those wishing to register their child in school should bring the following to the school office: a birth certificate or other proof of the child's age and the child's previous school records and immunizations records. Check with the school for additional requirements. Required immunizations for a child enrolling in kindergarten are as follows: five doses of diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis; four doses of polio; two doses of measles, mumps and rubella; three doses of hepatitis B; two doses of varicella; and two doses of Hepatitis A. For details on Idaho's minimum vaccine requirements for students in grades K-12, visit the Idaho State Department of Education's website at www.sde.idaho.gov.
In 2011, Idaho, along with the majority other states, the District of Columbia, Guam, American Samoa, the Northern Mariana Islands, the U.S. Virgin Islands and the Department of Defense Education Activity adopted Common Core State Standards that provide a consistent set of educational expectations for students, regardless of ZIP code. When a family moves, a student's education is often disrupted because the student may be forced to repeat material or learn at a different level at the new school. With common standards across states, this disruption will be reduced — of particular interest to military families. At present, national Common Core State Standards exist only for English language arts and mathematics, with science and social studies in development, though Idaho has added literacy standards in other subject areas so students will learn how to read, analyze, and write in any subject matter or career field they choose. The new standards are available online at http://sde.idaho.gov/academic/standards. For more information, visit www.corestandards.org.
Charter schools are public schools of choice that are tuition-free, serve all students and have open enrollment. For more information or a listing of charter schools in Idaho, visit the Idaho State Department of Education's website at www.sde.idaho.gov/school-choice/charter.
For an introduction to home schooling in Idaho, visit the Idaho State Department of Education's website at www.sde.idaho.gov/school-choice/home-school. Here you will find information on home-school rules and regulations, testing information, home-school curriculum providers and more. Note that Idaho does not monitor or regulate homeschool education. This means that completion of distance education coursework, while meeting the intent of state law, does not necessarily entitle the student to a high school diploma from a local public school.

To search for local private schools in Idaho, visit the National Center for Education Statistics website and use the private school search tool at www.nces.ed.gov/surveys/pss/privateschoolsearch. Users may search by location, religious affiliation, school type and more.
Choosing a School
Choosing the right school is very important, so be sure to research each one before deciding. Contact the school by phone or by visiting its website, which is a valuable source for school district statistics and curriculum. Talk to people in the area, especially friends and colleagues who already live there.
If the school shows promise, schedule a visit and bring a list of written questions about student-teacher ratios, computer availability, extracurricular activities, sports programs, music programs, gifted programs and grading standards.
Discuss the potential school with your child: what they like and what they didn't like. Your family's ability to readily adapt to a move and to find happiness in your new home may depend, in part, on how happy your children are in their new school.

The rackmount installation procedure consists of multiple steps. Each of these steps is discussed in the following sections.
- Preparation
- Left and Right Chasis Slides and Latches
- Rack Bracket Assembly
- Mounting the appliance in the rack
The appliance must be installed in a standard 19" rack that has both front and rear posts. To prepare for rack installation, ensure that the appliance is resting safely on a flat, stable, and level work surface (or similar).
Follow the steps below to safely install the appliance into the rack.
Left and Right Chasis Slides and Latches
Attach the left and right chassis slides to the appliance using a total of 10 M3x4 button-head screws. Five screws will go on each side. The front portion of the chassis (the side with the disk drives) has two notches, one on each side, that insert into holes on the front of the side panel.
Use the chassis latch screws to secure the left and right chassis latches, ensuring that the latches are oriented as shown below.
Rack Bracket Assembly
Attach both of the universal rack brackets to the rack. Locate the guide pin at the rear of each bracket and insert that pin into a post hole in the rear rack. Attach each bracket to the rear rack post using the washers and screws supplied. Do not tighten the screws at this time.
Extend the rail of each bracket to fit between the front and back rail posts. Attach each bracket to the front rack post using the washers and screws supplied. Do not tighten the screws at this time.
Tighten the two clamping screws located along the inside of the rear section of each rack bracket.
Mounting the Appliance in the Rack
Mount the appliance in the rack using the rack guides that were installed. Using an assistant, lift the appliance and align it with the rack rails. Carefully insert the appliance into the rails and push the appliance completely into the rack cabinet.
Tighten the rear bracket screws that were previously left loose. Withdraw the appliance until it reaches the hard stops (approximately half way out of the rack), and tighten the front bracket screws that were previously left loose.
Push the appliance back into the rack cabinet completely, and attach it to the front of the rack using the captive fasteners on the front flanges, located just outside of the handles. Reinstall the disk drives and power supplies if the appliance was installed into the rack without them.

Because one is not enough, we decided to join another tour package. Mostly say that Tours A and C are the best among all other tour packages and so we chose to join Tour C.
Island Hopping Tour C of Norther Hope is composed of Helicopter Island, Hidden Beach, Secret Beach, Star Beach and Matinloc Shrine.
Helicopter Island
This island was originally called Dilumacad Island but became famous as Helicopter Island because it resembles a shape of a helicopter when viewed from a distance. We spent almost an hour exploring this white sand beach, saying hi and hello to different fishes while snorkeling.
Hidden Beach
This is known as Hidden Beach because its entrance will not be easily noticed unless the boatman would really direct the boat to the entrance which is covertly located on the right side. This was not actually revealed to us by our guide until we got inside the beach. We entered the beach by swimming into a hole thinking it is the only way in. As we got inside, we were mesmerized by this white sand beach with crystal clear waters covered by beautifully formed limestone cliffs.
Lunch @ Talisay Beach
Before going to our next destination, we first stopped at Talisay Beach to enjoy the feast. Not just we had a feast for a lunch, we also had a great snorkeling time. Just a few meters from the shore, there is a deep hollow where you will really enjoy your fish watching. We even had the chance to meet Nemo and his family.
Secret Beach
The only way to get inside is to swim inside a small hole which becomes hardly possible during high tide and bad weather. During low tide, however, you need to be very careful with the timing otherwise your head may hit the rocks. That is why it got its name Secret Beach. Some say that this beach inspired Alex Garland's novel The Beach, which later made into a film starring Leonardo DiCaprio. Although its quite difficult to get inside Secret Beach, but the whole experience is really memorable and fulfilling.
Star Beach
We actually did not step our feet at the shores of Star Beach. Our boat stopped meters away from the shores to experience the best of this beach. It was named Star Beach because it has plenty of star fish. And according to our guide, snorkeling is the best thing to do in Star Beach and yes he's right. There are lots of fishes and star fish. We enjoyed watching the school of fish especially those little sparkling blue fishes, too sad we were not able to bring a waterproof camera to take a shot of all those wonders.
Matinloc Shrine
According to local tales, it was a foreigner who built the Matinloc Shrine. He had a dream that he was instructed to find a heart-shaped island and build a shrine in that island. So he spent many years to find the said heart-shaped island until he arrived in Matinloc. In another story, it was the missionaries who built the shrine until they turned over it to the locals and later went away. The locals used to regularly clean the place but unfortunately they did not have enough support to maintain the place and so it is now abandoned. Nonetheless, this heart-shaped island when viewed from above, remained mysteriously beautiful and picturesque especially the view from the top of the limestone cliff where you see the crystal clear blue waters below.
A Promise!
After the experience of Tours A and C, we realized that it will never be enough! We promised to really go back and finish all other tours. And when that time comes, I hope and I pray that El Nido will still be the same..clean, beautiful and paradise even if hundreds and thousands of tourists come everyday. I pray that people of El Nido will continue to take care and love this priceless treasure from God.

There are a lot of people who find playing pool as cool and exciting. It is one activity that you will surely appreciate all the time. You will be able to play this with your friends and even with your relatives and kids. In this kind of game, you may need some tools to help you play the sport. One of the most important things that you need to have is a pool table. It is very important that you have a good one. Make sure that it can function well the way you want it. It is very vital that you buy the cheapest in the market. There are some things that you have to keep in mind for you to have a guide.
what features do you specifically want?
Pay Particular Attention to Playing Surface
The first thing that you need to do is to measure the room where you plan to place the table. The dimensions must be certain so that you will be able to choose the table that will fit in the room. Keep in mind that tables come in different sizes. You need to choose the one that will fit inside the room.
For sure, there are some stores around you that sell pool tables too. One thing that you have to do is to visit these stores and find the best table that you can purchase. This way, you will see the table in person and thus you will be able to choose the best that you can afford.
There are a number of online retailers offering pool tables for sale as well as outdoor pool tables. Do your homework and check for free shipping, a return policy, and if a free return policy is also on offer.
A lot of people find relief and fun from this sport. This makes one person joyful at times. But you have to know that it can be difficult to acquire the tools that you will need for pool. You will surely find it as a challenge. There are a lot of designs that you will see. It is very important that you will only buy the cheapest that you will see. Though you need to choose a good quality one, there are some tips that will guide you on how to choose the best table at the lowest price.
The advantage with going with a new table is that you have complete control. You control the style, how much it costs, how big it is, pretty much everything. But that flexibility comes with a price, and any of us that have shopped for new pool tables and looked at the tag and felt a mild panic attack coming on. Plan on the price tag having a comma, or bring an inhaler. But what if you're comfortable with your budget, what else is there to look at?

Gokon rule 106: gokon games and drinking games
Posted February 26, 2009on:
In the gokons I have been to in the past 2 months, I have never played gokon games. After a brief self-introduction, the participants would just freely start a conversation with one another. The conversation could be anything from work, friends, favorite drink, music, movies, good restaurants in Tokyo, travel, hobbies, to break up stories (which is a bad choice of conversation topic, I thought)
Slightly more younger crowd, especially students, often play gokon games (which is bit like drinking games in the US) to let the conversation flow and boost the party mood. Based on my secondary research of the gokon games on the internet, it seems that the most exciting part of the gokon game is usually batsu game, the penalty game. Let me first explain what "penalty game" is, so you get better sense of these gokon games.
Generally, a batsu game takes place after some sort of competition or bet. The winner forces the loser to participate in the batsu game, which involves doing something unpleasant or embarassing or experiencing something unpleasant/embarassing. The winner takes enjoyment in the fact that he does not have to experience the punishment and that he is forcing the loser to do so. Because the batsu game relies on an acceptance on the part of the loser to experience the punishment as a result of losing, precautions must be taken to ensure that the punishment game is not too cruel or needlessly painful.
Common examples of batsu game of gokon games include:
- Drink more: take a sip of drink, drink a shot, chug down the beer
- Confession: reveal who she/he finds most attractive among the participants
- Getting physical: kiss the back of hand of the person sitting next to, hold hands with the person sitting next to
- Have you ever…: answer questions asked by the winner about the past experiences
- Picture time: make a weird face and let everyone take pictures with the camera on the cell-phone
I hope you get the point of these batsu games and why some people want to play games in gokon- to be more drunk, more fun, more flirty, more touchy, and just have good time.
Now, here are some of games people play in gokon:
Relatively mild games – less drinks needed
- Pop-up-pirate
The pirate is pushed into the top of a brown plastic barrel, readying the spring mechanism for his eventual launch. Players then take turns pushing colorful plastic swords into holes on the side of the barrel, one by one until finally someone releases the spring and sends the poor little pirate on his way. Whoever makes the pirate pop loses. The advantage of this game is its simplicity. No matter how drunk you are, it's simple enough to just push the swords. The lovers version of the pop up pirate has truths and dares writte on the daggers that the player must obey.
- Wink killer (detective and killer)
This game is a lot like cops & robbers, but just a bit different. Everyone sits around a table, and cards are dealt out — one is an ace, one is a king. The ace is the killer, the king is the detective. Whoever is the killer must remain secret — he kills by winking at people. The detective starts guessing who the killer is after the first kill/wink. The game goes until everyone's dead or the killer is caught. If you're killed, you have to drink. If you're the detective, you drink for each person that got killed once the round's over. And if you're the killer, you have to drink as punishment if you're caught. Number of drinks can be determined before the game.
- Yamanote-sen game (Yamanote line train station game)
The Yamanote Line is one of Tokyo's busiest and most important commuter rail lines. Running as a circle, it connects most of Tokyo's major stations going around and around and around. In Yamanote-sen game, one person chooses a category (i.e., candy bars) and the players go around in circle to name items that fit in the category (i.e., snickers, butter fingers, milkyway, 3 musketeers) in the theme in rounds. The person who stops the train, by failing to name an item in the category, or can't think of anything to say, is the loser.
Japanese only
Japanese vocabulary has been heavily influenced by loanwords from other languages. Since the late 19th century, Japanese has borrowed a considerable number of words from Indo-European languages, primarily English so it is very difficult to speak, trying to avoide usage of English words. In this game of Japanese only, the players must try to converse, drink, and enjoy themselves casually, without the usage of English-originated words. The person who first uses an English word is the loser
Relatively wild games – after some drinking
Oosama game (The king game)
Oosama-game is a Japanese version of the Truth or Dare or Simon says and it seems it is The most commonly played gokon game. Take the same number of chopsticks that there are people, and write numbers on them- except on one, you write "K" for king. Then, the participants take turns drawing chopsticks- the one who gets the K is the king- meaning, is the person who gives the orders. For example, the king all out, "Number one must drink a glass of beer all at once." The King don't know who number one is until they start drinking. It's a bit like truth or dare, only there's no truth. As the participants get drunker and braver, the game tends to become, obviously, more sexual.
- The Pockey game
The Pocky involves the chocolate-covered biscuit sticks called Pocky. The Pocky game is a very simple game for two players (and several laughing spectators). Here's how you play: Take one Pocky stick. Each of the two players puts one end in his or her mouth and begins munching. The pair get closer and closer with each bite, creating an awkward intimacy, and the first person who chickens out, and lets go of the Pocky, loses the game and has to down their drink. If the two players end up kissing, they are safe from punishment

It was one year ago that Zoe came to us via Turtle Gardens. When she came all we knew about her was that she was an old dog who spent a lot of time on the shelf. She didn't like to walk much or go outside.
In the last year she has grown and changed so much. She has enjoyed family life and getting to know her new pack. She loves to eat and play. She plays with Sawyer like crazy. Her colour has changed from almost white to a bit of apricot and black here and there. She is an awesome dog who has wormed her way into our hearts! We love you Zoe 'n Zoe!

Continuing the Legacy
Spencer Butte, Hendricks, Skinner Butte, Owen Rose Garden, and Alton Baker parks have all become keystones of the Eugene Parks System. None of them would have been possible without the foresight and generosity of the park advocates and stewards who came before us. Our community has long understood the need to preserve what is integral to the very fabric of this place we call home. Through the Legacy Land Fund the Eugene Parks Foundation has already helped to acquire hundreds of acres of critical natural area property for public use. Land donations can be complicated, and the Eugene Parks Foundation can help you smoothly and easily facilitate the transaction.
The Eugene Parks Foundation, dedicated to supporting all aspects of parks for Eugene area residents, seeks to continue this legacy of dedicating public parks through private funding with the establishment of a Legacy Land Trust. The major functions of the Legacy Land Fund are:
- Securing funds for timely acquisition of property with the flexibility of a private charitable foundation.
- Encouraging the purchase of properties where there is a planned future park need and where at some point the fund may be able to recover or "recycle" donations through reimbursement.
- Facilitate the donation of property to offset some costs associated with surveying, deed preparation, and legal expenses.
The Eugene Parks Foundation is always excited to discuss donations that support the acquisition of land for public parks. These donations can take many forms and can happen now or be part of an estate plan.
