#140Wednesdays: What's Your Favorite Way to Cool Off In the Summer?
Written on May 30, 2012 at 1:18 pm , by Colleen Travers

This week we want to know your favorite way to cool down when just walking to the car can make you break a sweat. Snag one of these tips from our Twitter followers to help you chill out all season.
@netty_lang: I love the feeling of a cold shower! [Editor's note: Taking a cold shower can help boost your metabolism and make your hair healthier! Makes it worth a few moments of yelping in the stall, doesn't it?]
@CourtneyAnne36: Running through sprinklers and playing with the hose, who says they're just for kids?
@SweetToothCourt: I love a cold creamy spinach smoothie!
@RxBethOnTheRun: Watermelon, a crisp, cold glass of wine and jumping in my parent's pool after hot, sweaty run (my favorite)!
@HHHealth_H3: We cool off with a little Aqua Zumba on a warm day!

I made the wrong choice. Sana inantay ko na lang magbukas ang Verde spa. Nung ayoko magpaES, parang batang nagmamaktol ang chubby tall masseur na mukhang dinosaur na may amoy pa bibig. As in hindi inayos ang serbisyo.
I usually go sa mga spa pag opening sa hapon at least hindi sila pagod at bagong ligo pa.
Yung Secret escape, dun pag ayaw ng ES, ok lang sa masseur. Winner ang massage nila.
i went here just to have the usual massage due to the stress of work. To make the story short ang kakapal ng mga mukha ng mga therapists d2. I dont think they are even very well trained garapalan kung magoffer ng cs tapos yung hour and mins na nakaindicate halos wlaa pa sa half yung gagawen nila. Walang kwenta magmassage puro kahalayan ang alam sa ngalan ng pera. Pwede naman diba kumita kahit walang cs? At least marangal yung pinanggalingan ng kinikita nyo? Tapos automatic pa pag manghingi ng tip at may presyo p tlga ah? Yung totoo? Massage spa ba talaga to o cover up nyo lang sa mga kabastusan nyo? Wag na wag kayong pupunta dito. hindi pinapalitan mga sheets. Walang kwenta mga therapists mga mukhang pera! Kung ang hanap nyo ay clean massage at marerelax kayo wag kayo dto.
I just came back from Spa… tried Troy… big ding dong bell
Massage – 6/10
Receptionist – 3/10 (she didn't like the fact that I didn't choose lingam massage. Her face changed when I said no and she was really pushing for it)
Spa and cleanliness – 3/10 (though the floor looked clean but not the bedsheet and pillow. Who knows if there are no cum stains!)
Overall – 5/10.
Next time visit – Nah!!! may be call for home service
hi po… sir bong sir joey sna nman po bgo nyo po ilipat sa ibng branch ung mga therapist alamin nyo nman po….o tnungin sa mga ofice staff,,,,kung krapat dapat b ung taong yon na ilipat …kung tama b…kung requested po b 2ng taong 2…o dapat bang ilipat…o good perpormance po b,……..sna …………………..
Me and my partner just been here last night, i will my first and visit to spada, mga mukhang pera masahista, 500 sa walang kwentang masahe, minadali kame para makapag offer sila ng ES, namimilit pa, then ng paglabas namin namimilit pa ng tip ang kakapal ng mukha, mas ok masahista sa ibang spa at mura, bye spada
Went to this Spa for the first time. I was assigned a therapist named Miko or Niko, not quite sure. First few minutes went well. He was nice. Makwento. He will make you feel relaxed and at ease. After a while he started being sensual. He started to arouse me and offered ES halfway into the massage. I was amenable to it pero di kami nag agree sa set up. So hindi natuloy. After I declined, he finished the massage. Total time was just 36mins considering I paid for an hour. He went ouf of the cubicle and handed me two hot towels and told me sge magpunas ka na. After dressing up I asked him where the toilet is. His curt reply: dun sa taas. akyatin mo. What a moron. People like him make clients go to other spa. Whoever manages this place, if you happen to read this, reprimand your masseurs. May kabastusan.
first timer in SPADA, my masseur is reigan? ( i don't know if his name is reigan, can't remember) but he is very good looking.., at mabait….! tama yung mga post ng iba, mabaho nga sa second floor?., tsaka hindi ka makakapamili ng masseur, wala silang pixs.. kaya guys, suggest me names na okay., para mas maging okey pag bumalik ako…
Just find the comment about ugly female therapists at spada amusing. Been to cubao and pasay. I must say that the quality was consistent. Cannot remember the Thera from cubao, but Vicky of pasay was tops. She may be a mature lady but she sure knows her craft. I will surely get her services again on my next visit. Massage was excellent! IN ALL ASPECTS!
good day to all, my barkada had a bad experience from the masahista of SPADA PASAY like roy, aki, joseph, john paul. May BO, bad breath at namimilit sa ES pag ayaw mo iforce ka nila at price 1500.00. Hope the owner, Bong mamaril make a move to punish the bad influence masahista. Mabaho pa yon second floor area at noisy yon mga ibang staff di ka makarest.
went yesterday and had a wonderful time with toffee. if you happen to read this, send me an email email@example.com
WORST spa ever for me!!! Ang dumi ng scrub area. Kitang kita yung lumot sa mga singit/pagiranan ng tiles.. Nd na din ako humiga sa bed dahil iba talaga ang amoy ng CR..
Massage – Sa floor ang bed. Nd ata ngpapalit ng bed sheet dito. Tpos un unan na gagamitin mo amoy laway at pawis..
Not worth it! Kadiri! Will not come back ever! Sayang lng 800 ko para sa masahe at scrub.
Last night naghahanap ako ng massage parlor na punta ako sa spada.Ok lang masahe nila di ko expect na yong lingam ay ganun pala gawin sayo at hubot- hubad ka lahat nagulat ako, then the theraps make me arouse by touching mine and offering lingam, tapos ni romansa ako nong therap. at sabi makinis daw balat ko at malambot unlike sa iba kaso medyo mahal nga lang.nice sana kayo nabigla lang ako sa lingam na yon. akala ko kong ano yon.but bye the way he make me feel the heaven.
i really had a great time here! when i went here nung una nag doubt ako.. grabe! im really satisfied…. magaling ang nag masagge saken, he named macky! sulit talaga ang bayad! i'd tried linggam massage, magaling talaga sya mag massage pulidong pulido unlike sa ibang spa! kaya tlagang binabalik balikan ko sya.

ive bin in espada just now… and a week ago… twice i visited espada…. 1st my therapist was lawrence… silent…. ilang,, the massage was not that good.. at ang mahal ng es nya…second visit. the massage was good . very accomodating person.. always asking if the pressure is ok… and he didnt ask for any es… he offered me lingam instead.. it was i who asked if pede cya mag es… he was hesitant at first… but went through any way… veery obidient…. after the massage he even accompanied me outside to catch my ride…
bottomline…. its all in the therapist…. ambiance is good but… mm…. curtains?? cut it down… put some walls to have a little privacy… na sasagi ang curtain for all i know na kikita ang pototoy ko ng isang customer…
I just had my most wonderful experience der… He is so
accommodating and gentle in his utmost ability. Sa sobrang welcoming nya…para
na kayong matagal na magkaibigan.I truly recommend him for the benefit of others
na takot makasubok ng mga taong magtatake advantage sa kanila. I assure you of
his excellent service yet reasonable price…guaranteed enjoyment! You can
txt/call 09155599929.
yah.. i agree spada masseurs are really good, from time to time they ask for extra, but once turned down, they never make kulit. Too bad wala na yung mga oldies na magagaling magmasahe at never nag ask for an extra (i meant yung mga datihan). Yung mga originals nila paubos na, puro mga bata na. haay.. i miss RV. I hope he'll back.
eto naman nung once natry ko yun Espada sa Pasay. Si Wendell aka Josh naman ang natry ko, mas ok yung ES offer nya may kasamang dance while you're singing, hehe… pero sya rin yung nag scrub sakin sa shower room, sayang nga eh, kasi dun palang inooferan nya na ko ng ES, mas masarap sana, see you again Wendell, thanks (ATM)
I've tried Espada sa Las Pinas, yea tama yung nagcomment earlier na magaling talaga si Erwin, i tried him twice. Nung unang mag-offer sya sakin ng ES ok naman, masaya at masarap, nung pangalawang encounter namin at nagoffer ulit sya ng ES, really nice may kasama ng Himas sa ano… nya, hehe…
ok naman ang massage service but when i tried it i asked for 2 hour massage (bloosom 3 – Body/foot/body wash) but it ended up only 1 hour and 20 mins, the therapist told me its already finished, maybe he didnt think that i look at the time before he start. Receptionist Odessa told Masseur Chris that it is two hours and 20 minutes package. I arrived around 8:45 pm, body wash started 9:10 pm. Please check with your supervisor Toffee. Other thing, when I was talking to Odessa, a certain Jovelyn facial expression look like she annoy with my complaint. thats all…. This incident happened at SPADA PASAY.

i visited spada spa last weekend.. una nag doubt pa ko na pumasok but when i get in ok na ok pla.. maganda ang ambiance and also the therapist they given me.. his name is macky.. sobrang galing nya mag massage tanggal ang lamig ko sa back.. not like sa ibang spa, mga therapist bara bara kung mag massage! so i recommend spada spa and macky to my friends!
hi bob..nothing personal..but do you think the owners of the spa doesnt know anything about this? i doubt…whether there is an ES or not, bottomline is, they have a customer that will make their business going..btw i was actually asking for feedback about the guy aforementioned if he's really good in his job as a masseur, thats all..
nag hahanap aq ng spa…and found out na 1 ito sa mga masa2bi ntn na di magandang srbisyo ng mga masseurs nila…sana pag tuunan ng pansin ng management ng spada ang mga bad comments para sa better development ng spa…lahat ng customer nag ha2nap ng good service…dapat well oriented ang mga masseurs nyo (d nmn nila2hat) if panu i treat ang customer ng maayos….customer is not doing business with you…yu are doing business with them…
Therapist here are ES oriented…
Either they move to Lakan or Datu…or just turn this place to that, wag na mag pretend o mag malinis…
Kung masahe offer nyo mag masahe kayo… kung gusto nyo mag service, service na lang wag na kayo mag charge ng masahe… sabihin nyo na lang ROOM CHARGE para di magexpect ng masahe yung customer!
Sama nyo sa list of services…
Swedish 300
Shiatsu 300
J*kol 500
J*kol & Ch*pa 1000
para malinaw usapan… di yung akala mo may massage.
badtrip! never coming back…
Tried this spa for the first time just this morning. I arrived to their place 10 mins before 6am. I got nathan, his massage was so ridiculous,annoying and seems like he's rushing things out! so what i learned, most of his fellow therapist and him will end their shift by 7am so he made the massage so fast. I asked for a soft massage but what i got was like 'haplos'… and he keeps on going out the cube and talking to his fellow masseur.
By the time of 645, most of the therapist are roaming around the spa and SO NOSIY!!!! i was like, "Im HERE TO RELAX SO PLEASE BE CONSIDERATE!!!!" so i ended up having a bad mood since i went there knowing i came from a nyt shift…
Lingam Massage Is 1200 for 1hr 15mins
For Him Massage is 500 for 1hr 15mins
Regular massage is worth 350 for 1hr
Try to visit us sir we have our branch in
Las Pinas call (02) -873-8371
Cubao call (02) – 921-3485, 921-3487
Pasay call (02) – 254-4605
We also accept home and hotel service
Male and Female Therapist are Available
When I went here I had a very bad experience. I parked my car just in front of the spa but when I got out I was surprised to see that one of my windows was broken and that somebody gained access inside my car getting my cellphone and my wallet. I left my things inside my car because I was not informed that there was a locker. Be careful when you go here. Even when walking during wee hours may be dangerous because the road is very dark. Street lamps are scanty and there are lots of rugby boys along the area as well. The masseurs are very money hungry even though they don't look good. Massage is so-so.

Warning: Sexting IS Sex. Parents, Take Action!
Are you talking about sexting with your teen? If not, you need to. Now. The behavior is dangerous and has long-term consequences for your children. Do you know what your teen is up to? Don't be taken by surprise -- it's time to take the Momlogic Sexting Challenge.
Lori Getz: Thirteen-year-old Hope Witsell in Florida took her own life after a topless photo she had sent to a boy she liked was intercepted and circulated around the school. I spoke with several families after that incident made headlines, and I was SHOCKED at what I discovered. The overall consensus was that "these things happen to other families, my child would never do that!" And by "that," they were referring to sexting.
One mother told me her 15-year-old daughter had too much self-respect to participate in such an act. However, that same young girl had sent a naked video of herself to her boyfriend almost two years earlier that ended up on amateur pornography sites across the net. The mother had no idea that her daughter was living with the shame of that secret.
The fact is, 20% of teens have admitted to sending a nude photo of themselves to a significant other, and 70% of teens admit to being a part of a sexting incident (either as the sender or the recipient).
Sexting is the act of sending a nude or semi-nude photo or video via electronic communication (including cell phone, IM, or e-mail). Sexcasting is when you send live nude video via a webcam. Whatever you call it, it's a huge problem when it comes to teenagers.
The problem is two-fold:
Currently, when you produce, send, or receive images of nude minors, it's child pornography. Period. Just ask Philip Alpert, who is now a registered sex offender after forwarding a naked picture of his then 16-year-old girlfriend to dozens of her friends and family after an argument.
Recently, legal issues pertaining to minors producing and distributing child pornography of other minors are starting to change, including in the state of Indiana, where lawmakers are currently working on a bill that would separate sexting laws from child pornography laws. But there are other issues parents really need to consider.
Although not every child will become a registered sex offender after sexting, serious and long-lasting consequences still exist. Sexting means being sexually active, and our kids are "doing it" without being in control. When they sext, they are sharing their bodies with another person, and they have no control over who will see this image or where it might end up. Parents cannot emphasize this point enough.
They are engaging in an act that should be private and meaningful, not lascivious and available to the masses. We never teach our children to be out of control when they make the decision to be sexually active, but that's exactly what they are doing when they sext.
"I found out when his girlfriend's dad called me and threatened to call the police!" said the mother of a 13-year-old boy after he sent naked photos of himself to his girlfriend's cell phone.
"I found out when I received an anonymous e-mail calling my daughter a whore!" said the mother of a 14-year-old girl after a naked photo of her was being used to solicit sex in an adult chat room.
"I found out when the school counselor called and told me video of her was circulating on an amateur pornography site," said the mother of a 15-year-old girl who had sent a "private" video message to her boyfriend.
The behavior is dangerous and has unbelievable long-term consequences for your children. Do you know what your teen is up to? Don't be taken by surprise. It's time to take the Momlogic Sexting Challenge. Sit down with your teen and answer these questions together. You may find it spurs a conversation you never realized you should be having.

This is exactly why I won't let me 14yr son have interent on his phone or why we don't have a webcam on our computer. Even though I have spoken to my son about sexting many of times, I know that he doesn't alway think before doing stupid things and he would be one who would end up with nude photos from girls on his phone. He doesn't see what the big deal is about it and he's like "well, if a girl wants to send me a picture, theres nothing I can do about it" and you know he's actually right about that, you can't controll other people so I've done what I can to try and avoid it from happening. I also have to say that the young girls today (12-15) are so aggressive. I read some of my sons text msg and these girls have talked about sex, oral sex and things that just make me shake my head and wonder why these girls feel they need to be so sexual so young but if you look at the shows that these kids watch (mtv) they show woman who will do anything to get the man. It really is a shame but that is how society is.
Sexting is not sex. Sex is an activity that when done by a mature couple making mature decisions and protecting themselves is acceptable and pleasurable.
Sexting is porn. And creating porn can have a negative effect on all areas of a persons life and can follow them for years afterwords and pop up at anytime and ruin their lives. It's not even in the same league as sex. It's more akin to doing hard core drugs or stealing a car in the effect it can have on a childs life.
OK let me see, first of all we had teens actually having physical contact, the preg rates went up so we said if ya gonna do it, heres a condom (std's too)…mhm so then now sexting has no physical contact at the moment which i can say is MORE effective than a condom and now people are still promoting condoms for physical contact but griping about non physical touching..I believe in abstenense but this is NOT sex, youre confusing our kids ok heres a condom if you do it you can goto a dr without parents knowing about it… but no "sexting" Oh my, what hyprocrites..
i know this article is about children sexting..just also wanted to shed some light on another topic of married people also doing this. There are married men and women sexting outside of their marriages..we have heard our friends talking about this and thinking they will not get caught. In which most of the time they dont…since they can delete the evidence. The sexting problem is so broad and damaging…hoping that someday there are some sort of regulations to help the problems for children..and also teach adults who are dabbling in it to escape the commitment of their marriage.
sexting is a big problem with teenagers whether they do it out of peer pressure or because they really want to. most teenagers feel guilty afterwards. and believe me, it is not worth the consequences.
it should be legal for this, it is so different from child porn ugh i hate how everybody is so annoying about this!!!

Just Me,
You are comparing apples and oranges. Sex, whether using a condom or not, is not the same as a teenager's nude body being passed around the internet or through cell phones. This picture/video will live long past when this teenager has become an adult. It is legal for adults to participate in pornography and they have to sign a statement that they are of legal age. These teens have no say-so in where their image turns up, who sees it, who masturbates to it.
And, in my opinion, anyone who does pass an image on that was sent directly to them from the teen her/him self thinking it would be kept just between the two of them, is guilty of participating in child pornography. These can end up on actual pornography sites.
These can come back to haunt a teenager, long after they become an adult.
So, there is nothing hypocritical about this, at all.
Of course, this is just my opinion.
I believe sexting should not be allowed-period, end of story. Parents have the power/option to block texting on children's cell phones so why even discuss it? It's wrong and there are consequences. What are parents thinking?
BLOCK TEXTING! Whatever happened to the power of speech & talking to our friends!
To Sandy, and others naive enough to believe that merely blocking texting will make this problem go away. It won't! Sexting involves many forms: on the cellphone, on the computer, on personal i-cams (video), on mac products, too. Blocking cellphone texting does not stop AIM and other instant messaging capabilities - from the phone, too! Internet connections are found many ways. We have to EDUCATE first. Parents need to learn new ways to help their teens grow up knowing how to SAFELY navigate the internet, cyber-chatting, cyber-videoing and all of the digital way kids connect these days. Facebook applications can be downloaded for free onto your teen's phone - no extra "data" charge, and parents don't know their kids are "on" 24/7.

My 16 year old son just got expelled from his beloved School of Rock for showing pornographic images to a a couple girls at a SOR concert as a "joke" . They were on his cellphone that he used the cellphone camera to take a picture of our computer. Previous to this, We had blocked internet/media downloads on his cellphone, and his computer has adult website blocks on it. I found out there are however proxy servers that teens use to get around the porn website blocks. We are blacking out his camera phone lens and limiting his internet use to just a few sites.
His text messaging is limited to a few hours in the evening and now we are requiring that he has to turn in his cellphone to us at night. I reviewed his recent text messages and found a sexually explicit text to a girl that he had sent. He thinks they are all funny. I read a recent survey of teens and almost 50% ages 13-19 are sexting like this.
Although I was devastated (as was he) about his expulsion from School of Rock, I am hoping that he will see it as a natural consequence for his poor choices and actions. Some commentators say that we need to teach our kids to use technology responsibly, but it is tough when we see them use it irresponsibly. We have put severe limits on his technology, and he always finds a way around it. He can use the school library for Facebook, email, chatting etc. and homework these days is so dependent on using the internet, so a total technology ban is not necessarily a solution. I am beginning to feel like a prison guard.

Middle Schoolers and the Art of Conversation
Try to get your middle schoolers to talk nice to each other. I double dare you!
Lori Curley: My middle schoolers have fallen into the most unbecoming habit of snipping at each other instead of conversing. I suppose this is a normal function of middle school dialogue, but it drives me crazy. "How was your day?" I want them to say, but I hear, "What's on your face?" If one of them does manage to ask, "How was your test?" the other replies, "What's it to you, fool?"
I found my husband's Dale Carnegie handbook and I am preparing to hold a subtle workshop for my kids this afternoon. The trick is to slip the principles in without them realizing that they came from some old man who wrote some old book. The first rule is to "Become a Friendlier Person" and there is a list of 10 ways to achieve this new position. Carnegie suggests "Smile" and "Don't criticize, condemn or complain," "Make the other person feel important -- and do it sincerely." These frighten me. I can imagine my vipers reacting to these platitudes. "What is wrong with you, Mom? Maybe you need to be friendlier!" "Yeah," the other will chime in, "why don't you stop criticizing and complaining?!"
Part two of the handbook gives tips on winning people to your way of thinking. Perhaps "Try honestly to see things from the other person's point of view" will work. If I put myself in my middle schooler's shoes, I will understand how ridiculous I seem to them. How weird I must seem when I talk to friends or my husband without saying "Duh!" every few minutes. My kids must think we are too friendly, or too easy on each other. Maybe it is we who should learn from them. Maybe tonight when my husband walks in the door I can say "What's with your hair?"
The next section gives more advice. Carnegie tells us to "Expect ingratitude" and "Do not imitate others." So I guess I should nix the nasty greeting for my husband, not stoop so low as to imitate my children. But this begs the question -- if I take this advice, am I not imitating him? I am confused.
He also suggests "rest before you get tired." I think a nap before they arrive is a good idea.
|Lori Curley, champion mother of two middle-school teenagers, resides in South Orange, NJ. She holds a Masters in Education and has been teaching writing at the college level for 7 years. But can she find a job as a high school English teacher? Or will she pull her hair out first?
Ahhh! Middle schoolers are precious aren't they? I enjoyed this article.

I don't use Canon myself, so I don't know these specific lenses, but in general terms, I'd say your choices are:
If it's a straight choice, & you can afford either, seems like a no-brainer. Go for the fast lens. You'll only wish you had at some time in the future.
If you have a certain amount to spend, & want another lens or accessory with what's left, go for the f4, as the extra stop may prove less useful than the other item.
You've not really been specific enough about why there's a choice. Is it budget, thinking you may not need the extra stop/expense, thinking of buying something else at the same time?
The way I see it is like this:
Both lenses are going to be sharp and optically sound choices, the f4 version is even generally rated at being a hair sharper than the f2.8 at f4 - however we are splitting hairs here as both are very high grade to start with. So I would not worry about overall optical quality from either.
Secondly you have aperture - the f2.8 offers you wider max aperture and the option of more light to be used in dimmer conditions whilst also giving you the creative option of being able to shoot at f2.8. Further more if you consider using a 1.4 teleconverter the f2.8 again gives you more aperture to work with in comparison to the f4.
Thirdly you have size and weight, the f2.8 is larger and noticably heavier than the f4. This is sometimes the major point for most people and the first time you see/use an f2.8 it feels massive and overweight. However (and this comes from someone who is not big nor muscly) the f2.8 version is certainly within most peoples capabilities to grow used to and given a month of so of good use and you can easily use it.
Fourthly there is IS - something that the f4 version gives you that the f2.8 lacks. Remember though that this is only going to counter your handshake motions. For something like motorsport this might not be an issue as you push for faster shutter speeds.
There is a 70-200mm f2.8 IS L however its not out of production with second hand going for about its original new retail cost and its retail cost being totally out of control (most places just have no stock at all). The M2 of this lens is a massive jump in price from the others you're considering so whilst I'll throw it into the pot to consider I suspect its far more in cost that you are willing to invest.
I chose the f/4 IS version. It is half the weight of the f/2.8 versions, which are really heavy lenses - about the same as the very substantial 100-400L. Get to try before you buy
F/2.8 is obvioulsy nice to have, but unless you use it on a fairly regular basis you are carrying it about for no benefit. Also, looking at the two lenses you have selected, you will miss out on the finest incarnation of Canon's four-stops IS system, which is arguably more useful than an extra stop of aperture. Plus the f/4 lens is fractionally sharper, it has weather sealing and a cirular diaphragm for nicer out-of-focus background effects.
I've taken many sports and wildlife shots with my f/4 lens and always been thankful that it's so light in comparison to the f/2.8 and never really suffered by my choice, especially with the 1.4x extender.
However, remember that the f/2.8 can be used with the 2x extender as well as the 1.4x, whilst retaining autofocus, a plus point that can be very useful.
or dont forget the excellent 200mm prime which i have just posted this photo from !

Do you agree with euthanasia? (for humans)
I recently had an argument with 2 of my teachers on this subject. Whenever asked whether they agree with euthanasia or not they were either avoiding to answer or they were completely against it without bringing any arguments to support their opinion.
As far as I've noticed this is a very controversial and sensitive subject but I couldn't find anyone to debate it with.
Both my history and my religion teacher found their safety saying that Jesus says humans have no right to take away anyone's life but they didn't share their personal opinion.
Basically my belief is that endeed we do not have that right but in some cases,when for instance a certain person is too sick and hasn't got any chance of getting better and that person doesn't have the streght or the will to fight anymore and their desire is to die,shouldn't they be given this right?

Jun 3 2013: Hi Kate. FEAR of being sued and prosecuted for 'killing' is there and real for any doctor, nurse, family member, friend. Also many doctors,on religious grounds will not. My GP who is a lovely guy tells me most doctors (80%) believe in mercy killing/voluntary euthanasia however are NOT permitted under current Law. Any friends or family present are also hauled into court and prosecuted for killing. There have been cases of this recently in the press.
Many of us could 'do it' ourselves and on our own as I believe if I swallowed the whole bottle of one of my medications it would certainly kill me. However I don't know for sure and the worry is, if it didn't, I could suffer more and longer !
Federal MP Mark Butler Minister for Ageing when I met him early this year said Labor party is looking at the situation of changing the law (and the Constitution to do so). He personally has tatooed on his chest DO not resusitate......he even went so far as to start unbuttoning his shirt to show us but the local politician stopped him. Pity he is nice looking young guy.
Sadly for us who believe in voluntary euthanasia for ourselves the government stopped Dr. Nitchke in the Northern Territory some years ago and they hound him and try and arrest him when he steps on Australian soil.
The momentum is gathering to legalise voluntary euthanasia in possibly ACT (Canberra), Sth. Australia & Northern Territory but to my mind should be available all states and NOW.
Vets are not prosecuted and they believe it is a 'service' of kindness not to let an animal suffer.

Which is right: Stocks or economy?
The difference of opinion between Wall Street and Main Street is growing as equities soar but growth stalls.
The stock market and the economy have always maintained a tenuous link. Equities are prone to periods of extreme fear and greed, pulling valuations around what the economic fundamentals suggest is "fair value." It gets really bad near major turning points, such as the exuberance and the "subprime is contained" falsehoods of 2007 to the terror and "the bailouts won't work" panic of 2009.
I think we're seeing another turnaround point right now as the major averages go vertical and gauges of investor sentiment reach levels not seen since the 2000 dot-com bubble; even as the economy, by some measures, shows signs of falling back into recession.
So, which is right about where we're headed?
The driver of the disparity is central bank intervention, with the Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank, and Bank of England, and the Bank of Japan all flooding the financial system with cheap cash. Much of the impetus for the market rally of the past two months has been indications the Bank of Japan is about to throw conservatism to the wind and indulge in even more aggressive monetary stimulus.
While hedge fund types love this, and a liquidity starved economy loved it in 2008 and 2009, there is just simply too much money floating around to make a difference now. The Fed's balance sheet has swelled past $3 trillion, up from $800 billion before the financial crisis, $1.4 trillion of which is simply sitting at the Fed's vaults as commercial banks have nothing to do with the money but hold it as deposits.
Moreover, as the deterioration of the economic data suggests, all this cheap money isn't preventing the natural business cycle from working its will, resulting in new recessions in Europe and Japan, with another one headed for the United Kingdom.
Things aren't looking good here at home.
The bulls Thursday ignored a terrible Kansas City Fed activity survey, which featured an employment index that sliced into recessionary territory. When joined with similarly weak results from the other regional Fed Surveys, thaw overall picture is clear: With more tax hikes and spending cuts on the way, possibly spiked with a government shutdown, the economy is already in trouble.
If all this is making your head hurt, just know it all boils down to this:
- Sentiment is excessively bullish at levels seen near major market turning points.
- Fiscal policy will be a growing drag on growth, but here and overseas, this year.
- Technical indicators remain weak with breadth, volume, and options market activity suggesting caution is warranted.
- Economic fundamentals are still deteriorating and have fallen into recessionary territory.
- With gas prices rising again, the energy market remains vulnerable to the rise of Islamic terrorists in North Africa and simmering tensions in the Middle East.
- Most of Europe, including Germany, is either in or is falling into a recession. Japan is in recession. And the United Kingdom is falling into recession as well.
Add it all up, spiked with the big price swings, market dislocations, and other drama, and this feels like a major, historical moment for Wall Street and the economy at large. A moment when the belief that central bank intervention can paper over deeper, structural issues by giving hedge funds and investment banks more money to play with about to be shaken.
We're seeing the evidence of that play out in real time.
Since the Fed launched QE3 and QE4 late last year, the economy has lost serious momentum.
And now, with the inflation hawks worrying about the destabilizing effects of all that cheap money, the clock is ticking on the "don't worry, the Fed will save us" meme that has driven this bull market. When it ends, amid political rancor over gun control and the budget in the months to come, it won't be pretty.
Just like the shattering of the illusion that profit margins at Apple (AAPL) were impenetrable -- amid increasing competition, a saturated smartphone market, and a tapped out American consumer -- has been ugly.
In response, I'm adding new short positions against industrial materials via Cliff's Natural Resources (CLF), AKSteel (AKS), and the ProShares UltraShort Basic Materials (SMN) to my Edge Letter Sample Portfolio.
Disclosure: Anthony has recommended CLF short, AKS short, and SMN long to his clients.

Spatially Autocorrected Errors In Origin-Destination Models A New Specification Applied To Aggregate Mode Choice
AbstractIn this study, we use a first-order spatial autoregressive formulation to model the correlation among the errors of a linear demand equation that explains origin-destination flows. The process splits the error term for each observation into a weighted sum of all the other errors and a purely random noise. The weights are new parametric functional forms defined to measure the proximity between origins and destinations of flows. The parameters of these weights, along with the other parameters of the model, are estimated by the method of maximum likelihood. We apply the technique to an aggregate binary logit share model that explains peak trips to work in Winnipeg, Canada.

Battle for Syria's Aleppo airport intensifiesThe Associated Press | February 24,2013BEIRUT The battle for Syrias second-largest airport intensified Saturday as government troops tried to reverse recent strategic gains the rebels have made in the northeast in their quest to topple President Bashar Assad.
Assads forces have been locked in a stalemate with rebels in Aleppo since July when the city, the largest in Syria, became a major battlefield in the two-year-old conflict the United Nations says has killed at least 70,000 people. Rebels have been trying to capture the international airport for months.
Rami Abdul-Rahman, director of the Britain-based activist group Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, said the current fighting was focused on a section of a highway linking the airport with Aleppo, the commercial hub of the nation.
The rebels have cut off the highway, which the army has been using to transport troops and supplies to a military base within the airport complex. Rebels have made other advances in the battle for the complex in recent weeks, including capturing two army bases along the road to the airport.
The rebels also control large swaths of land outside Aleppo and whole neighborhoods inside the city, which is divided between areas controlled by the regime and others held by rebels. On Saturday, the army launched an offensive on opposition strongholds outside Damascus in an effort to dislodge rebels from areas around the capital that they have been trying to storm for weeks.
On Friday, regime forces fired three missiles into a rebel-held area in eastern Aleppo, hitting several buildings and killing 29 people, according to the Observatory. The group initially reported 14 casualties in the strike that apparently involved ground-to-ground missiles. Some bodies were recovered from the rubble of damaged buildings.
Recent rebel advances in the Damascus suburbs, combined with the bombings and three straight days of mortar attacks earlier this week marked the most sustained challenge to the heart of the capital, the seat of Assads power.
A suicide car bombing on Thursday near the ruling Baath Party headquarters in the heart of Damascus killed 53 civilians and wounded more than 200, according to state media. Anti-regime activists put the death toll at 61, which would make it the deadliest bombing of the revolt in the capital.
The different tolls could not be reconciled.
Nobody claimed responsibility for the attack. Car bombs and suicide attacks have been a hallmark of Jabhat al-Nusra, an Islamic militant group fighting among the rebels. Nusra fighters, the most effective group on the battlefield, have led assaults on military installations and control swaths of territory in the north, including parts of Aleppo neighborhoods.MORE IN Wire NewsCANADENSIS, Pa.

Yeah I got the twins questions a lot. I also got rude comments because I had an infant still when I got pregnant again (my kids are 17 months apart). I was 36 years old and married! It was planned, but people still treated me like an irresponsible teenager.

One morning (November 21, 2008 to be exact) while Daddy was getting Dorothy ready for daycare, he was tickling her and they were both laughing joyfully. As he was tickling her belly he felt a lump on her right side and immediately became concerned. In fact he became light-headed because "cancer" popped into his head. However, he dismissed the idea because "our little 17-month old couldn't get cancer."
That was Friday morning. I (mommy) was already on my way to work and when I picked Dorothy up from her daycare, I learned of the concern. Apparently, my husband had asked the ladies their opinion earlier that morning. Well, as the weekend progressed we sprawled, stretched and maneuvered Dorothy in all directions in order to see this protrusion on her side. Monday we took her to our pediatrician. She was asymptomatic and perfectly healthy but something was not right. Our pediatrician took one look and ordered us to have CT scans done immediately. Dorothy had already eaten and she could not be sedated, so we went home and returned the next day. That day was the beginning of our journey.
>After her scans, we needed to go to the grocery store. I will never forget standing in the front waiting for my husband and my phone rang. Dorothy's pediatrician simply asked, "Where would you like to go, Houston or Austin?" Many tears were shed at that moment. The next day we were at Texas Children's speaking to an oncologist and a pediatric surgeon.
Dorothy was diagnosed with a stage II Wilms' tumor of favorable condition and immediately had surgery to remove her right kidney. We were told that she would need to have 6 months of chemo just to kill any little cell that may have escaped and there was an 85% chance that she would be cancer free for the rest of life. We thought, "6 months? It will be tough but we can handle it." So after 6 months of outpatient chemo once a week, we were thrilled for the 3 week post-chemo scan. We looked forward to her corn silk hair growing back and just a week without going to the hospital. Unfortunately, that day is another day I will never forget. Not only had Dorothy's cancer returned but it had metastasized to her lungs. Not in one lung, but both and not just in a spot or two, but "too many tumors to count." Now another voyage began. Dorothy underwent radiation, inpatient chemo, outpatient chemo, blood transfusions and many other tests to make sure her heart, kidney and liver were functioning properly.
Just recently, December 30th, 2009 scans still show numerous spots showing up in Dorothy's lungs. But the good news is these spots are exactly the same as the spots showing up in her November scans. She has been off chemo since late November of 09, and we are certain these "spots" are just dead tumor and scar tissue. Our 2 year old June bug now has white fuzz all over her head is full of spirit.
The past 14 months of our lives has enlightened us to so much it is hard to put into words. The families you meet, the children you meet fighting for their lives, the joys and the sadness. You question everything and just pray for life.
Cookies for Kids' Cancer is a wonderful way to help improve the chances of our cancer warriors and we encourage you to help!

This quote seems particularly urgent at this present moment—within and without the repro rights fight. This plagues so many of our movements: the powerful use our most intimate issues to divide us and to make us think that our liberation is not bound to one another.

New Book by and for Trans People Seeks POC, Trans Women, Immigrants & Poor/Low-Income Authors/Interviewees
A new resource guide by and for trans people is looking for people of color, immigrants, poor/low-income folks and people on the feminine spectrum who are interested in sharing their stories, expertise and experiences for this groundbreaking book project. You don't need to be an academic or professional - everyone welcome. If you are trans, TG/TS, genderqueer, GV, gender nonconforming or intersex and would like to help us make sure this resource reflects your community's experiences, please read on!
ABOUT THE PROJECT: Trans Bodies, Trans Selves (TBTS) is a groundbreaking
resource guide in-progress, being written by and for trans people. It is
based off the idea of Our Bodies, Ourselves, but will cover a much wider
variety of topics, including coming out as a trans person, relationships and
sexuality, parenting, identifying with multiple communities, finding
employment, seeking wellness, legal advocacy, and representations of trans
people in the media. TBTS is integrating discussions of class, race,
ability, status, and many other parts of trans identities throughout each
chapter in an effort to show how different and varied trans people?s
experiences are. The book will provide resources and guides from people
within diverse trans communities, and will include personal anecdotes,
advice, stories and art. TBTS is conducting outreach through numerous
community forums, an online survey, and targeted outreach to diverse
communities in order to include as many voices as possible. More information
about the project, including the TBTS survey and bios of many of our
authors, is available online at www.transbodies.com.
CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: The Trans Bodies, Trans Selves team is currently
looking for more contributors to help ensure that TBTS will represent a
broad a range of trans experiences. Specifically, we are looking for people
of color, people on the feminine spectrum, immigrants and/or poor/low-income
folks who are willing to contribute their stories, expertise and
experiences. Contributors do not need to be "experts;" experience is first
and foremost, and we welcome inquiries from any and all people within the
trans community who are open to speaking their own truths. TBTS is aiming to
be as accessible as possible and will use everyday, easily understood
language - not academic jargon - so contributors of all educational
backgrounds/levels are welcome.
If you are interested in contributing to TBTS, please contact Amanda Rosenblum at firstname.lastname@example.com to find out more about how you can get involved. TBTS is currently looking for:
- A range of short pieces (typically 800 words) that are personal narratives and/or that include specific resources and how-to's
- Other forms of writing and art
- Folks who would like to share their experiences through interviews with the TBTS team
- Authors for chapters on Immigration and Class
Please indicate in your email which topic(s)/experiences you might be
interested in addressing and tell us a little bit about your background.
While we cannot promise publication, we are committed to working with
potential authors/contributors to identify topics that have yet to be
covered and to help bring your unique perspective to the project. We are
also happy to consider works that may have already been published elsewhere,
subject to appropriate approval.
In addition to authors, we are also looking for volunteers who would like to
review chapters and/or responses to the TBTS online survey, many of which
will be incorporated into the book. This project is entirely volunteer-based
and we appreciate any time you might be able to contribute to help us make
TBTS as useful, informative and interesting as possible.
Please reach out to us if you are interested in contributing to the Trans Bodies, Trans Selves project, or if you have any questions. Looking forward to hearing from you!

Student and assistant warden in the California prison system Bill Wilson shares on FPMT retreat center Vajrapani Institute's V-Voice Blog the story of how a mentor profoundly changed his life, an experience that coincidentally brought him to the Dharma:
"I believed I was a good man, and tried to help others as best I could, but as I watched Dave interact with inmates I realized I was only partly fulfilling my duties as a law enforcement official and a member of my community. He wasn't just professional and courteous, he tried to make a positive imprint on every inmate (and staff member) he had contact with. It didn't matter the crime they committed, the color of their skin, their gang affiliation or their intellect, he reached out with loving kindness, compassion and empathy to men who were commonly marginalized. Yes, we fed and clothed them, and at times tried to provide them with inspiration, but until I watched Dave in action, I didn't know we usually ignored the most crucial truth: that the inmates continued to be human beings.
"… My journey with Dave and our men opened another door, perhaps the most important … I met volunteer Jon Landaw, who introduced me to Ven. Tenzin Chogkyi. As we talked about our men, I mentioned that I was amazed by the incredible changes I had witnessed and how I hoped to be able to make similar changes in my own life. The next thing I knew I was at the Vajrapani Institute experiencing my first formal meditation training 'Mindfulness and Reality: Introduction to Meditation' …"
Bill's complete story, plus other interesting news articles and announcements from Vajrapani Institute, including video and photos from Big Love 2013 with Tenzin Ösel Hita, is available online.
Located in the redwood forests of the Santa Cruz Mountains in Northern California, Vajrapani Institute offers meditation retreat cabins, Tibetan Buddhist group courses and retreats, and facility rentals for spiritual groups of all traditions.

If you expect to become a professional catcher in the Major Leagues, you should be expected to take some punishment from time to time.
Besides being a pitcher, the catcher position has to be the riskiest position to play. We've seen catchers in this league get run over by players like a deer getting slammed into by a semi-truck, which usually resulted in serious injuries such as broken legs or bones in general and concussions.
Just ask San Francisco Giants catcher Buster Posey. His season was cut short in May of 2011 when he was in a collision with Miami Marlins outfielder Scott Cousins.
Now during last nights game against the Boston Red Sox, Avila suffered a left knee patellar tendon strain after a collision at home plate with Red Sox catcher David Ross.
According to FoxSports.com, Avila said jokingly that he'll take some 'strong pain killers on Friday' as he added that he expects to play tomorrow in game six.
"I had this injury before 2011. I've dealt with it on and off the last three years. I'm familiar with it." Alex Avila told the media via FoxSports.com
Avila was also asked about Ross barreling into him at home plate while trying to score and he replied with, "I would have done the same thing.". The man knows the type of danger he puts himself in when he steps behind that plate, dressed up in his catchers gear.
Detroit looks to avoid elimination as they enter the sixth game of this ALCS against Boston.

Chicken and Mushroom Baked Rice
I just bought a new oven (Rowenta Pro 9080) a few weeks back and the first thing I cooked with it is my favourite baked rice. The photo you see above is the baked rice freshly out of the oven, taken on my kitchen countertop. As a kid, it was such a treat to eat baked rice at Swensen's and now as an adult, it is an even greater treat to be able to cook this at home – baked rice anytime I want, with unlimited variations (check out the different baked rice recipes at bottom of page). I love the end result of my first attempt at chicken and mushroom baked rice – the taste of this recipe is quite close to Swensen's baked rice which I simply adore since young, thanks to CookBake Legacy whom I referenced and adapted the recipe from. Bake this just before serving to enjoy the freshly melted cheese. If you are having a home party, bake this in disposable aluminium tray for fuss-free clean ups – this recipe can feed quite a few folks and so far, it has been a hit with my friends.

(Serves 4-6)
- 1 1/2 cups uncooked rice, rinsed and drained
- Water to cook rice
- 5 garlic cloves
- 200g (white or brown) button mushrooms, sliced
- 200g chicken fillet, cubed
- 15g butter
- a few tablespoons uncooked Campbell's cream of mushroom soup
- Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
- Shredded Cheddar Cheese (I use mild red cheddar)
- Salt & Pepper
- Parsley (garnishing)
Chicken & Mushroom Baked Rice (before baked)
1. In a heated wok or saucepan, melt the butter. Add the sliced mushrooms and cut chicken pieces, stir-fry for a few minutes until the surface of the chicken pieces is white.
2. Add the washed uncooked rice, salt and black pepper to taste. Stir well. Transfer contents of wok/pan to a rice cooker. Add the garlic cloves. Add water to cook rice (I use slightly more than 1 1/2 cups of water – adjust the water amount according to your cooker).
3. When the rice is cooked, portion out the rice into individual oven-safe baking dishes (or use a 20cm x 20 cm square alumnium tray) until about half the height of the dish.
4. Spread some mushroom soup sauce on top of the rice, and topped with a layer of shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese.
5. Baked in a pre-heated oven at 200°C (392°F) for about 20-25 minutes, or until all the cheese melted and is very slightly browned. Garnish with parsley.
Baked in an alumnium square pan – great for home parties

Hi! I just discovered your website and love it! I had a quick question- what kind of rice did you use? Can I use any kind of rice or is there a specific one that would work best with this recipe? Thank you!
Hi I use long grain rice (jasmine), but I'm pretty sure all types of rice will work well according to your preference.
My 4 yr old boy loves this so much! Simple, fast yet tasty. Thank you for sharing this recipe.
I would like to have your recipes for Broccoli, Potato and Sausage Baked Rice but it is not found on the web page.
How can I have it?
Thank you
Warm regards
Hi Linda here's the recipe http://www.noobcook.com/broccoli-potato-sausage-baked-rice-step-by-step-photos/
I have amended all the broken links too. Thanks!
Hi, this looks really good! I'm wondering if it is feasible to prepare this overnight so that my girl and reheat with the microwave oven the next day? Thanks!
Yes, you can reheat in the microwave. The rice and cheese will be dryer than freshly baked in the oven, but I think that's still acceptable.
hi, can I ask how much time is needed to prepare this dish?
Thanks for the tips, I just want to get my English assignment done.
Great recipe. Hubby and son love it. Added Cauliflower to make sure we have our vegetable intake. Good for working mother and this will be one of the trusted websites. Thanks.
what are the kitchen equipments that I need?
discovered your recipe last year. now it's my family's favourite. sometimes i subtitute the stuffings with smoked ham / bacon, then everybody looses their mind. ;D thank you so much for sharing! xx from indonesia

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish will likely have starting quarterback Tommy Rees when they take on the Air Force Falcons Saturday, according to Matt Fortuna of ESPN.com.
Head coach Brian Kelly told reporters Rees was cleared to practice Tuesday.
Rees left the Fighting Irish's 14-10 victory over the rival Southern Cal Trojans when he was injured in the third quarter. Rees suffered what the Irish called a neck strain when he was sacked by Trojans junior linebacker Lamar Dawson. Before the injury, Rees was 14-of-21 for 166 yards with two touchdowns and zero interceptions.
Rees' backup, senior Andrew Hendrix, took over when Rees went down. He didn't complete a pass on four attempts. Hendrix, who is a superior runner, couldn't do anything on the ground either, rushing for just five yards on six attempts.
Despite Hendrix's familiarity with the offense, the Irish are obviously going to need Rees if they are going to compete with the tougher teams on the schedule, like the sixth-ranked Stanford Cardinal, who they'll meet in the season finale on November 30.
On the season, Rees is 119-of-224 for 1,660 yards with 15 touchdowns and six interceptions.
The Irish and Falcons will kick off at 5:00 pm EST Saturday.

Review of Mill House Nursing Home on Tuesday 25 February 2014 by Janet Swinford (Care home resident's daughter)
My father and I wanted to thank the Mill House Care Home in Witney for the care and attention they gave to my mother, Enid Swinford, in the last 4 days of her life. Unfortunately her illnesses meant she only spent 4 days in Mill House but those 4 days were quiet and comfortable for her, and meant my father could say goodbye to her in peaceful surroundings. A special thanks to the staff who gave my dad cups of tea and fed him as he sat with my mum.
