Police believe a bomb that killed five people in Choco, Colombia was either planted by the FARC guerrillas or the Urabeños, demonstrating the willingness of Colombia's armed groups to employ terror tactics to secure their criminal revenues.
The bomb exploded in a supermarket on the night of February 25 in the city of Quibdo, capital of the Pacific department of Choco. Five people have so far been confirmed killed, and many more injured, reported Radio Santa Fe.
Police believe the attack was in retaliation for the shop refusing to pay extortion fees, and said they suspected the guerrillas of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) were responsible. However, they also speculated that it was possible the Urabeños criminal organization, which runs extortion rackets throughout the region, may have been behind the bombing.
Authorities have so far arrested six people in connection with the attack, who officials said were members of a support network of the FARC's 34th Front, reported Radio Santa Fe.
While the FARC have for years used bomb attacks in their war against the Colombian state, this latest attack stands out for the number of people killed not to further their armed struggle but for purely criminal purposes.
If, as is claimed, the attack was carried out by a FARC "support network," then this could imply several things. It could be referring to one of the urban militias that the FARC have been expanding in recent years. These militias often operate semi-independently, carrying out their own criminal operations, especially extortion, as well as receiving orders from the guerrillas.
It is also possible that the cell that planted the bomb has no ideological allegiance but instead is sub-contracted by the FARC. There have been numerous indications to suggest the FARC is increasingly paying criminal groups to carry out both political violence, such as the attempted murder of politician Fernando Londoño, and criminal activities, including extortion.
However, it should not be ruled out that the Urabeños were involved, even though it would be unusual for the group to employ insurgency style tactics. Security forces on the Pacific coast recently told InSight Crime that in certain areas in the region, narco-paramilitary groups like the Urabeños work so closely with the FARC they are "more or less the same thing," and that the Urabeños were suspected of involvement in infrastructure attacks attributed to the FARC.

TEAMS: New York Rangers, Arizona Coyotes, Columbus Blue Jackets, Montreal Canadiens
As the offseason wears on, us and Matt Josephs of Blue Line Station (Twitter: 11Matt_Josephs8) will be running a tournament for the Best Ranger since the 2005 lockout. Yesterday we saw #7 Brad Richards barely squeak by #10 Martin Biron in overtime. TodayŌĆÖs matchup is #2 Dan Girardi vs. #15 Dmitri Kalinin. Dan Girardi (acquired ŌĆō 2006 undrafted free agent) Girardi is this teamŌĆÖs version of a Cinderella story. Signed as an undrafted free agent out of the OHLŌĆÖs Guelph Storm (and Ryan CallahanŌĆÖs teammate), Girardi was never a noted scorer, which is why he was never noticed. But the Rangers noticed him (presumably) while scouting Cally, and signed him to an AHL deal in the summer of 2005. They didnŌĆÖt sign him to an NHL contract until 2006 after impressing in the ECHL and AHL. After his deal, he played another 45 games in the AHL before sticking with the big club permanently. Over the next six seasons, Girardi missed a total of just four (!!) games. When you take into account the minutes (sometimes up to 30) he plays and the number of shots he blocks, thatŌĆÖs an impressive feat. Girardi isnŌĆÖt a noted scorer (31-123-154 in his career), but heŌĆÖs one of the best shutdown defensemen in the game today. Girardi has been the steady rock on defense, and players such as Fedor Tyutin, Marc Staal, and Ryan McDonagh have flourished while playing with him. Girardi was given the ŌĆśAŌĆÖ when Staal went down with his injuries, and itŌĆÖs no mystery as to why. Dmitri Kalinin (acquired ŌĆō 2008 unrestricted free agent) Kalinin played just 58 games of his one-year contract with the Rangers, putting up a line of 1-12-13 while barely surviving on the bottom pairing on defense. Signed from Buffalo, Kalinin was supposed to bring balance to the bottom pairing, but he was unable to do so. The Coyotes were nice enough to take Kalinin off of SlatsŌĆÖ hands at the trade deadline, when they shipped Derek Morris to New York for Kalinin, Nigel Dawes, and Petr Prucha. So who do you think is the better Ranger, Girardi or Kalinin? Vote thumbs up for the higher seed (Girardi), or thumbs down for the lower seed (Kalinin). Voting ends at midnight tonight. Tweet

I am so excited to share this new design project with you! A few months ago, I was contacted by Ruthie of DecRenew Interiors to help her refresh her brand and website. Ruthie has a bold, rich design style and wanted to reflect that in the new design. We achieved that using a combination of black, warm browns and hint of gold. Strong and classic is how I describe Ruthie's vision…
Color Inspiration Board
After deciding on a logo, we built Ruthie's brand elements around the vision board, logo and color scheme.
I am so happy with how the overall design and website turned out. It is simple and classic, designed to showcase Ruthie's gorgeous interiors and strong pops of color.

Maine's Snaring Showdown
Everyone will remember the clever way the "good guys" in those old-time Western movies scrambled from shrub to tree to boulder, shooting from all angles to make their enemies think they were up against a legion. That same idea has worked wonders for a handful of determined animal protection activists steadily working toward a ban on wildlife snaring in Maine.
Neck snares are wire loops set on wildlife paths. When an animal walks into the loop, it begins to tighten. As the animal struggles to free itself, the loop slowly strangles it. The neck snare was banned in Maine in the 1930s, along with set guns, but it was reinstated to kill coyotes in the 1980s. Neck snares also frequently kill other animals, such as foxes, hares, bobcats, fishers, endangered lynx and bald eagles, companion animals, and even deer and moose.
Every winter, from December through March, the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife (IF&W) pays trappers to set snares to reduce coyote predation and artificially enhance the number of whitetail deer, thus providing more targets for hunters. While it's true that coyotes prey on deer during deep-snow winters, biologists and activists agree that this predator/prey relationship is the basis for a healthier deer herd and ecosystem.
Since coyotes appeared in Maine in the 1960s, dispersing from the west as a result of extermination efforts, they have become the scapegoat for fluctuating deer numbers, which has much more to do with the whitetail's natural range, ruthless clear-cutting of Maine's northern forests, and unrestrained poaching. In spite of these widely understood contributing factors, there is a shocking, almost medieval, hatred of coyotes by a small but powerful lobby in Maine — hunters and trappers — and the story is often told of how, when the first coyote was killed in Maine years ago, people drove from miles around just to spit on the carcass.
Since the program's inception, animal protection activists have protested it on the grounds of its cruelty and non-selectivity. They also know that such efforts to control coyotes amount to biological lunacy. Coyotes unfailingly respond to high death rates by breeding earlier and producing more and larger litters of healthier, better-fed pups, who are more likely to survive.
After nearly 20 years of watching as their protests were ignored, and the coyote snaring program expanded at the insistence of the hunting and trapping lobbies and the state legislature, activists got two major breaks.
First, Maine Public Radio broke a story about a report by an IF&W biologist documenting a large number of "jellyheads" in a study of snared coyote carcasses. "Jellyhead" describes hemorrhaging in animals for whom the struggle and death in a snare was prolonged and agonizing. Broken bones and teeth also provided evidence that the coyotes had tried mightily to escape strangulation, and that some had still been alive as long as three days later, when they were bludgeoned or shot.
The second and more startling event was another leak — an IF&W interoffice memo from a field biologist that was a clear indictment of the snaring program. The biologist wrote that "coyotes are not a significant threat to our deer population"; that "killing an animal by strangling it with a wire loop often results in a slow, painful death, sometimes lasting days"; that the "presence of a large canid predator is a benefit to deer, not a detriment"; and that "it would violate state humane laws to treat a domestic dog in this same manner."
With what seemed to be cries for help from biologists whose science is sacrificed to special-interest politics, activists at last saw a crack in the wall of this indefensible program. They organized the NoSnare Task Force (www.nosnare.org) around that old activist slogan — Endless Pressure Endlessly Applied — and launched a three-pronged attack on coyote snaring, shooting from three crucial angles: education, legislation, and litigation.
The Nation's Laughingstock
First the activists contacted outdoor writer Ted Williams, and supplied him with significant IF&W memos, reports, and emails accessed through the Freedom of Information Act. In his scathing article, "Maine's War on Coyotes," in the September 2002 Audubon magazine (subsequently revised and reprinted in Downeast, February 2003), he called the pro-snaring lobbyists "extremist" and Maine's IF&W the nation's "laughingstock."
NoSnare members published a steady stream of letters and op-ed pieces in major newspapers; collected thousands of signatures on petitions asking for an end to snaring; and, through a generous grant from the Humane Society of the United States, created a professionally designed web site.
With permission to use reprints of the Ted Williams article, they prepared information packets, sending them to every wildlife interest and animal welfare organization in the state. Because of the widespread publicity, the issue became a subject of classroom study and discussion across Maine. And, for the first time, the state's wildlife biologists took a position opposing the program.
Using grants from API, The Fund for Animals, the Grassroots Environmental Fund, and HSUS, NoSnare paid the expenses of a pro bono lawyer, Bruce Merrill of Portland, to prepare a lawsuit against IF&W based on violations of the Endangered Species Act. The FOIA-accessed information revealed that, as the snaring program continued to be expanded and liberalized over time, many IF&W staff biologists had expressed grave concerns about the vulnerability of lynx and bald eagles to snares. At least two eagles and one lynx have been reported killed in snares. It is important to note that, given the intense public scrutiny of the snaring program, there is little incentive for trappers to report nontarget catches. In February 2003, NoSnare filed a notice of intent to sue IF&W and, at this writing, activists are awaiting a response from Maine's attorney general.
Although NoSnare's case is based on the non-selectivity of the snare, it is actually only one of many issues of concern to activists. If the snare were 100% selective, NoSnare would still oppose it, because activists believe that no animal deserves to die in a snare.
Prolonged and Rancorous
The groundswell of public interest in banning snaring resulted in the introduction of two bills for consideration by the Maine State Legislature. After a prolonged and rancorous public hearing, NoSnare's bill to ban the neck snare was killed by the sportsman-stacked IF&W Committee, which oversees all wildlife-related legislation. A second bill, to end the snaring program, was amended by the Committee to "improve" the snaring program by liberalizing it. You read it right: a bill that was intended to stop snaring, instead now codifies it. After a short debate in the House and the Senate, LD 237, passed the Maine State Legislature.
NoSnare activists don't view this outrageous duplicity as a total loss. It is nothing less than a milestone in Maine when a wildlife protection bill actually gets past the hunting and trapping lobbies and their captive, the IF&W Committee, to become the subject of deliberation by the entire legislature. Even more encouraging was the actual roll call: In the House, LD 237 passed with a 88-51 vote, and in the Senate, 19-12. These slim margins are a stunning testimony to the power of the resolve and unwavering commitment of NoSnare activists.
We are unable to reveal, even here, the actual number of activists involved in the NoSnare Task Force — it is, after all, the secret of its success. It's safe to say that a healthy dose of what Terry Williams calls "sacred rage" on behalf of the animals, and endless pressure endlessly applied, will guarantee, sooner rather than later, an end to wildlife snaring in Maine.
Susan Cockrell and Will La Page are wildlife activists living in Holden, ME, with their goats, dogs, and free-range chickens. Both teach at the University of Maine, and are two of the three founding members of Maine's NoSnare Task Force.

What the heck is wrong with the Saints?
10/1/12 in NFL | Pat | 5232 respect
It's a stark contrast to their previous 3 seasons, in which they had a combined record of 37-11, featuring a Super Bowl championship in 2009.
So what's going wrong this year?
There are a ton of factors that could be in play here.
For starters, they're missing Jonathan Vilma, arguably their best defensive player. He was originally suspended for a year, and then there were rumors that the suspension could get shortened, but then he ended up on injured reserve anyway.
The next problem is their coaching staff. Head coach Sean Payton is DEFINITELY out for the season, and it's possible that he meant much more to the team than anyone ever could have known.
However, based on the way their defense has played, I'm not sure it would matter who their head coach is.
The Saints are the worst defensive team in football, in terms of yardage allowed, giving up 463 yards per game. That includes 186 yards per game on the ground, which is the worst in the NFL by 14 yards per game.
The Saints have an excellent offense, but when you're giving up 463 yards per game, and 186 rushing, it's hard to control the clock and win games. Even their ball-hawking defense, which has been known to force turnovers even if they give up huge yardage, has only managed 2 interceptions so far.
The Saints desperately need to turn this around if they want any chance whatsoever at a playoff spot.
The Falcons are already jumping out to a huge lead in the division, thanks to their outstanding 4-0 start.
Can the Saints figure out how to right the ship? Or is this a lost season?

Meeting the studio1 Reviews
After meeting the house they are going to live in the next months, the guys get to know the studio where their dreams of having a famous band will start to come true.
In the next day, we all woke up at 10:50 a.m., knowing we would be really, really late. Even rushing the most we could to get ready, we were still having breakfast when Adam and the main crew arrived.
"You know, this is something pretty irresponsible for someone who wants to play music for living." Said Adam acting like the most responsible guy in the world
"We know all that, we're sorry and we promise that's never gonna happen again, sir." I said with a little bit of cynicism in my tone of voice "Now, you've got two options: you join us at the table to have breakfast or you go to the living room to watch some TV and wait for us without getting us stressed out at 11 a.m."
"I have a better idea: me and your crew go to the studio to get it all ready for you to start playing and you finish this breakfast as fast as you can before I change my mind and come back here to fire you because of lack of responsibility." Stated Adam "How did you like the idea?"
"As much as I like you." I replied him as he just got as pissed off as I've never seen before and left
"Pierre, you better stop these kind of things before we actually get fired. He's our manager now." Said David trying to calm me down
"Listen, I'm...I'm not in the mood to talk about Adam now, okay?" I replied trying not to sound rude
"Okay, Pierre, just keep what I said in mind and we'll never have to talk about Adam again."
I could have replied one million things after that, but the very last thing that I wanted was to have a fight with any of them again, specially 10 minutes before going to a studio with them. So I just stood quiet as I had completely accepted and agreed with David.
As fast as we could, we swallowed our breakfast and stepped, for the first time ever, in the studio. When we opened the door, we saw a whole bunch of guys walking from one side to the other of the room, testing instruments, computers and preparing some rooms. I just didn't understand why all that.
The studio was completely different from the house, but we couldn't dare say that it wasn't as luxurious as the house. That studio was even better than the house. We could see three huge white sofas as soft and comfortable as a bed should be and many, many armchairs in the whole room. Of course there was no television or stuffs like that, but that place was really relaxing and welcoming. In the first floor, we could see many, many doors connecting the principal room to many other areas of the studio. The ones I can remember the most are the "Vocal recording room", "Instrumental recording room", "Control room", "Instruments room" and "Mixing room", those are the rooms we used the most. The other ones were just used by the crew. In the middle of it, we could see some stairs, but those were really, really, really huge. On the top of the stairs, the only thing we could see was a really huge and heavy black door. Probably the door of the rehearsing area. If that was it, we would have too much of space to rehearse. That second floor doesn't look that welcoming to me anymore as it looked like when I first saw it at age 18. When I was 18, I was astonished just at the sight of that room. It was really better than the abandoned house that we used to use in the rehearsals. I don't know but just to remember about this part of the studio today, when I'm here kidnapped and stuck in God knows where, I feel a terrible feeling of fear. I feel like loosing control over something and I just can't figure out why. I don't even know what this feeling is. It's something hard to explain.
Well, back to that day 3 years ago, we couldn't picture ourselves saying one word only when we've got the whole view of that amazing studio that would be all ours during the next few months. It was incredible to just picture ourselves being there everyday, but soon we heard Adam's voice coming closer and waking us up from our daydream.
"So, did you like the studio?" he asked coming closer
"Are you serious about it? The studio is as incredible as that house." Answered Jeff amazed
"I'm glad you're liking it. My father projected this house and this studio 2 years ago and he's really proud of it. Almost as much as he is about Lava." Replied Adam smiling "Since then, we had some famous bands in here."
"Awesome!" replied Chuck still amazed with the view "Anyway, we still don't have the keys of that room upstairs so we didn't practice yesterday at all."
"Yeah, I know, I'm sorry about that. I should have given you the keys yesterday but I completely forgot about it. They were with me all along." He apologized putting his hand in his pocket and giving a key to each one of us. "Take a really good care of those keys, please, or you'll end up stuck in that room for God knows how many time. And, if any of you guys loose the key, let me know as soon as possible so I'll make sure to change the key hole and your keys, okay?"
"Yeah, but...why make such a big deal of it if there's nothing in that room?" asked Seb kind of confused
"Nothing but you." He replied trying to make us see that as an answer, but we've got even more confused "Anyway, we already know the order of the songs in your album, but they don't have to be recorded in the same order. You have 30 minutes to go upstairs and rehearse for a bit, then, you come back here downstairs and call me and your producer to listen to the song that you intend to start recording today. Just so you know, his name is Carl Jackson and we'll be in the Control room getting everything ready to start recording. Now, rush upstairs and let's get this thing started."
At his final demand, we just went to the Instruments Room and rushed upstairs to start playing, even though Chuck had to return downstairs around 3 times to get the whole drum in that room. He was the one who got pissed off the most about the fact that we would have to get the instruments back downstairs every single day. The sight of that room was completely different from everything we could ever imagine. We were thinking we were going to find a place as comfortable and luxurious as the house and the studio, but what we saw was something completely different. The walls were dark, pretty close to black and that's the only thing I can tell about the room. There was nothing in it. Nothing and I mean it. The only things in that room were the instruments and us. Nothing else. We could see how much he meant that when he said that this room was to rehearse only. Neither of us had ever been alone in that room and I think I don't even have to explain why. Anyway, we just ignored the sight of that room and started with what really mattered...
"So, we have just 30 minutes, not time enough to play all of our songs. So why don't we just pick up the song that we'll start recording today and just practice this song in the next 30 minutes? We can wake up earlier tomorrow to have a decent rehearsal." I suggested
"Yeah, that's a good idea." Replied David "But what song should we choose?"
"`I'm just a kid'" Replied Jeff not having to think twice about that "Our first project that became a song, it would be awesome if this song could be the first one we've ever played in a studio."
"So, `I'm just a kid' it is" I answered reaching the microphone as they started playing
In half an hour, we showed the song to Adam and to that guy who insisted we should just call him Carl. They seemed to like this song and soon headed us downstairs to the recording cabins. The guys went to the instrumental recording room together with Carl and 3 other guys and I went to the vocal recording room with Adam and 2 other guys. Although I couldn't see the guys, I could hear them playing through the headphone in my ears, while being watch singing through the window in front of me by Adam and the other 2 guys. One of them was pushing some buttons and making me repeat some parts of the song a little bit louder. The other one was stopping me every 5 seconds because he thought it sucked. I think he was the vocal coach. From that moment on, our studio routine had just begun.

hello October!!
October has always been a big month for our family ~ it's the time when we celebrate our wedding anniversary, our couple anniversary, and hubby's birthday ^__^ For the past four years, we celebrate October by traveling. On our first year (2009), we went to Hong Kong and Macau. I was 4 months pregnant with our first child then. On our second year (2010), we went to Taipei; this time with a 6 month old baby in tow. It still remains as our best family vacation! Good food, good people, cheap prices. Gotta love Taiwan! :)
On our third year (2011), I was 4 months pregnant with our second child while taking care of a hyperactive 18-month old. This time we didn't travel outside of the country (have to save money for my second delivery) and opted to just have a staycation in Ortigas ~ a new place for us to hang out in Manila as we often stay in Makati. Little did we know that our Ortigas vacay is a preparation for our new life come October 2012. God really has a funny way of giving you a glimpse of His plans for your life ;-)
One week from now, Labsie and I will celebrate our fifth wedding anniversary (2013). No travel plans this time, not even to Manila, as our finances are a bit tight. Who knew that tuition fee for toddlers are as much as 40k a year?!! Migosh! And we have 2 kids!
And so, most of our hard-earned money this year went to kids' education fund. None went to our travel fund, boohoo! So what are our romantic anniversary plans given we're "stranded" in Davao? We'll probably eat out (fine dining perhaps?), catch a movie (in the luxurious GMall cinema), have some time off from the kids, be (just) a couple once again.. I just hope hubby has extra money for all of these! Haha!

13 years of US ^__^
Unlucky 13? Nahh, more like whirlwind 13! ;-) I know I have not been updating this blog for quite some time now and it's all because of our hectic family life. After 4 years of marriage, we now have two kids-- and one is in her terrible twos stage. If you're a parent, you know what this entails, hehe! Also, we have just relocated temporarily to our country's capital. No family to help us with the kids, and no helpers or nannies as well. Between the 2 kids, the big move, and settling in, I really have no time to blog.
But just for today, I'll forgo a few minutes of sleep and blog! Why? Because today is our 156th couple monthsary a.k.a. 13th anniversary of our bf-gf relationship-- hurray for us! ^__^ And since my parents are not around to babysit our kids, we just brought them along to our dinner date earlier this evening (second pic: the collage). Yeah, not really very romantic, hehe! But it's all good coz we had an awesome fourth wedding anniversary a week ago sans the kids (first pic). See how beautiful we look? That's because we didn't have kids to watch over / feed / entertain while we reconnected as husband and wife :)
To my Labsie, my husband and father of my babies, I love you! Here's to more monthsaries and happy years together!

As you can see, I'm still addicted to Google Plus. If you haven't joined already, do so now! It's a great place to connect with people who have the same interests as you :) If you're planning a wedding, looking for wedding suppliers and wedding inspiration, you can find like-minded people in G+. And since this is powered by Google, the search function is awesome!! Try this one for an awesome pink wedding <-- click!
But I digress.. The main point of this post is to announce our second pregnancy ;-) Yep, we're pregnant again folks!! That explains my lack of updates the past few weeks (along with my G+ addiction) as I was in the first trimester, i.e. nausea and dizziness whole day and night *sigh* BUT, that's all over now! I'm now in the second trimester and full of energy so hopefully I can blog more :)

Sorry I have been MIA for the past 2 months. I've been busy with the newest social network in the block -- Google Plus! We also call it Google+ and G+ :) It was in closed beta (invite-only) since June 28, 2011 but this week, it opened to the public. Thus, here I am inviting you to join the world's best (IMHO) social network! See you there! ^__^

Birthday Challenge Day 30 :)
Hehehe! :p Seriously, you can tell who I am by going here: gplus.to/melissasolito ^__^ Everything that I am is on the right side of the ABOUT page. Thanks for being with me the past 30 days! Can't believe I finished a 30-day blogging challenge.. I hope it's a sign that I'm now able (and mature enough) to finish projects in a timely manner now that I'm 30 years old, married, and a mother to one toddler ;-) Thanks again Wilkin for coming up with this 30-Day Challenge!

Birthday Challenge Day 29
My first immediate goal is to wean Iya, she has been breastfeeding (BF) for 16 months now and showing NO signs of slowing down! Which is weird since she's *finally* okay drinking non-human milk (from cup) and eats solid food very well. I don't know if she's just clinging to BF for comfort or she's just simply not yet ready to wean (I believe in baby-led weaning). This first goal of mine is the most important coz I can't proceed to my other future goals if this is not done.
After Iya is weaned, I will *finally* go into residency ~ this is the specialty training for medical doctors that usually lasts for 3-5 years, depending on the hospital and type of specialty chosen. I love anything related to the human nervous system (brain, spinal cord, etc) and would love to be a neurologist! But since I'm a very hands-on type of mom, I have to find a less busy / toxic / stressful specialty to train in so I would have time to be with Iya during her childhood :)
My ultimate goal is to keep our family intact, stay happily married to Labsie and to see Iya grow up to be a beautiful person inside and out. My other plans include going to space (!!!), go on a Disney cruise with my family, travel to the Old World and have enough money to pig out on their gustatory delights. YUM! Hehe!

Birthday Challenge Day 28!
This is easy! Hehe! Physically, I really like guys with big and brooding eyes, the kind that draws you in their depths. Labsie's eyes are like that, hehe! A strong looking body (but not really muscled) and nice smile also attracts me. But what attracts me most to a guy is his gift of gab, i.e. he can hold long-winded conversations with me. The topics? Anything under the sun! I don't like one-trick pony guys, like jocks who only talk about sports or nerds who just talk about books. I want to talk about anything and everything so it's best if you have many interests and passions ^__^

Birthday Challenge Day 27 :)
I'm not really sure if I have a fashion style coz I just wear what I want, with no regards to what's "uso" (popular) or what is "in". As long as it's comfortable, it fits me right and / or colored pink, I'll wear it. Hehe! I rarely buy my own clothes or shoes (though I'm quite addicted to buying stuff for our baby Iya, hehe) and my closet is a mishmash of high school grunge, college Iskolar ng Bayan look, dresses with wide / V-necks from my pregnancy and (still) breastfeeding days. I don't wear makeup, jewelries or any accessories. My ears, neck, arms, fingers are all bare. Yes, even my wedding ring I don't wear. I'm just not used to wearing anything on my body. If I had the choice, I'd go naked, hehe!
|Why I don't wear accessories! >.< The white shirt and red pants would have been fine (but still inappropriate for jungle stream trekking, LOL) but coupled with maong hat + camouflage backpack = disaster! Toinks!
The most "fashionable thing" I've ever done was wear different colored shoes (neon orange and lime green) during my college days. I bet some of my schoolmates will remember that but not my name, LOL! My black prom dresses and pink debut gown were all bought off the rack from department stores (and they were all less than P700!). My debut gown has seen many uses ~ I used it in our save-the-date card pictorial, assorted formal occasions, and during my oath-taking as a professional medical doctor. I guess I can best describe my style as practical ~ my clothes have to be multipurpose. Words like casual, very individual (I'll wear hot pink or red pants, hehe), laidback and comfy also describes my fashion style. I guess you could say "I'm just not that into
you fashion" ;-)

October 2, 2014
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- George Washington High School had to have its lines flushed yet again Saturday after results from a prior test showed there was still too much MCHM in the water. Those levels are actually starting to worry neighbors.
It's been more than four weeks since the chemical spill and Karen Potesta's uneasiness about using the water is still shaken.
Every time she starts to think the water might be getting safer, she hears of another positive test at a school in her area.
"You hear various things, 'oh, it's safe, it's not going to harm you,' but you really don't want to take the chance," said Potesta.
Potesta isn't alone.
"Every time we open the shower door the last month, 'oh yeah, there it is,'" said Parker Bazzle.
The Bazzle family lives just up the road as well, right in between George Washington and John Adams; both which tested positive for MCHM in the last week and a half.
According to Parker Bazzle, water in the area is provided by a central tower, meaning what's going in the schools is also going in their tap.
While he worries about it in his pipes, he thinks it's gathering in another place.
"I'm probably more concerned about it being in our hot water heater than anything else," said Bazzle.
Potesta agrees.
"I'm having my hot water tank drained on Monday," said Potesta.
It's an unfortunate problem that doesn't seem to be going down the drain anytime soon.
It's important to note that additional testing done at George Washington Friday did come back at non-detect levels.
The detectable levels found prior were almost double Governor Tomblin's standards, but still well below the CDC's safe level.

Egads.. last day of Crush Week for me but next Tuesday I'll be doing a makeup Murph at 7am. I hate to admit it but I think I'm starting to curl up in a fetal position already.
My legs are FRIED from "Hammer" and "Morrison" and it was another shirt stripper of a morning but in the end, worn out good times with my CFBFF's. I made it thru the start of a 4th round with a final run.
As Many Rounds As Possible In 20 Minutes Of:
Run 400 meters
12 Hang Squat Cleans - 45# kept it light so no bailing - legs are toast
12 Burpees
Morrison. 24:24 - 20" box - 12k KB - 10# wallball. It was another shirt stripper of a WOD. OY. My sprained wrist still seriously bugs me, had to tape up the wrist and go lighter on the ball and kb. Doesn't matter, still finished, form was great, left drips of sweat for about 5 blocks. Good times!
50-40-30-20 and 10 Rep Rounds Of:
Wall Ball Shots
Box Jumps
Kettlebell Swings
Hammer is what it's called and yes, it does try to beat you down. I actually had to take my shirt off, holy hell, what a chipper. 53# 19.33
Five rounds, each for time, of:
Egads! This is what happens when things go spinning wildly, lack of keeping track of my workouts! Ok, here's the list 5-8 thru 5-18:
Early session this morning, tons of stuff to do:
Squat Clean
1 Clean every minute, on the minute for 12 minutes, after working up to about 80%
Assistance Work
Seated Box Jumps 3x5 - these were fun, going from seated to the top of a 20" box was a good time
75 Kettlebell Swings
50 Hollow Rocks
Heavy triple for Front Squats today and a hella fun WOD: Annie. 50-40-30-20-10 DU's and Situps. 7:49, was the first one done - ok so it was a small group (shhh), head and back of arms touching the mat each time. WOD's that, to me, are more based on quickness and and ability are always extra good times.
Chichichippin WOD today! Initially moaned but after getting in, turned out to be kind of a perfect storm - it was weirdly great. Unfortunately I lost some weight these past weeks, stress is a mothertrucker!, and some strength went with it. Thank god not speed! Still fast - zoom!
Push Press:
Heavy triple, ended at 53#
For Time:
Row 500m
40 KB Swings 16kg
30 Pull-Ups
20 Thrusters 42#
10 Burpees
Slept hellish last night, really didn't want to go in.. made myself go. Best idea ever (it always is).
Speed Box Squats
2x12 @ 55% - 67#
5 Rounds for Time
14 Dumbbell Hang Power Snatches, 7 each side - 15# left wrist taped
50m Sprint
Finished - 5:24
Yeah! Snatch Complex! Had to tape my wrists up.. but still happily cranked some good lifts out.
Complex for 5 total sets:
1 Hang Power Snatch
1 Snatch Balance
1 Hang Squat Snatch
Then with my CFBFF, with a 14# ball:
Partner Workout:
200 Wall Ball Shots for time

Vunipola injury opens England door for Johnson
England's Ben Morgan (L) evades a tackle from Ireland centre Brian O'Driscoll (R) during the Six Nations international rugby union match between England and Ireland at Twickenham, west London, on February 22, 2014 - by Glyn Kirk
Johnson was included in Stuart Lancaster's 23-man matchday squad for the title showdown with the defending champions and will feature among the replacements when the team is announced on Friday.
Number eight Vunipola was ruled out of the remainder of the Six Nations with an ankle injury sustained in the 13-10 victory over Ireland last month.
"Tom Johnson has trained with us throughout the Six Nations and we are looking forward to his contribution," said Lancaster.
"The performance against Ireland has given us a lot of confidence going into this game against a high quality Welsh team. We feel it's right to give the bulk of that 23 another opportunity."
Leicester back Manu Tuilagi, out for six months with a chest injury, will continue to train with England but has not been considered for selection.
England's matchday squad of 23 to face Wales at Twickenham in the Six Nations on Sunday:
Forwards (13): Dave Attwood (Bath), Dylan Hartley (Northampton), Tom Johnson (Exeter), Joe Launchbury (London Wasps), Courtney Lawes (Northampton), Joe Marler (Harlequins), Ben Morgan (Gloucester), Chris Robshaw (Harlequins), Henry Thomas (Sale), Mako Vunipola (Saracens), David Wilson (Bath), Tom Wood (Northampton), Tom Youngs (Leicester).
Backs (10): Mike Brown (Harlequins), Luther Burrell (Northampton), Danny Care (Harlequins), Lee Dickson (Northampton), Owen Farrell (Saracens), George Ford (Bath), Alex Goode (Saracens), Jonny May (Gloucester), Jack Nowell (Exeter), Billy Twelvetrees (Gloucester).

The New Badger Order! All Wombats shall be vanquished as such! Join the NBO or face the consequences!
What say you?
Couldn't Take It No More
So I Became Hardcore
I will kill off the New badger order and the wom bat order. I shall go my own way. Death to you both
:grabs some soap and styrofoam and some gas:
You hate me? No worries death to all my enemies forgiveness is over. If you hate me so bad come to my house and we can settle it like men. Am i claiming to be a fighter? Nope but im sick of your shit. You bring your boys ill bring mine i can guarantee some one gonna leave in a body bag. Ill shove this pitch fork up ya ass and have you begging for mercy and none will come. As i roast you over the fire laughing at your burning flesh. Im sick of your shit and your threats lets settle this like men
Badgers are weak.
I was going to find a cute wolverine pup picture to destroy the badger but they don't seem to exist.
Honey Badger don't care!
