Rep. Steny Hoyer
The Hill
As Congress returns to work this week, our community is still recovering from the tragedy in Tucson, Ariz., and praying for the health of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.) and all of the wounded. A tragedy like this doesn't make our differences disappear; but this can, I hope, be a time to remember that the grave challenges our nation faces are common to us all and can only be overcome with common effort.

If you want to draw manga and you want to know more about it, then this article for you because we will talk about the basics of drawing manga and some interesting facts about manga. What are the things that you need to know before you start your lesson or start drawing manga characters? What makes manga complicated to draw? Why manga is so popular? I am sure that you are also interested to know the answers to these questions, so I will try to answer these questions for you in this article too. Drawing manga characters is fun and I am pretty sure that you will like it too, once you know how to draw or how to use drawing patterns.
What is Manga?
I am pretty sure that you are wondering what is the meaning of this popular Japanese word "Manga", this simply means "comic book" in Japan, you can say that manga is Japan's version of comic books which is totally different from any comic books that we know because Japanese comic book or manga characters has distinctive features and postures like big and shiny eyes and perspective views that makes them really popular around the world and on the Internet.
Manga is popular all over the world, especially in Japan, where everybody in any age can read manga because manga has 10 types or genres:
- Doujinshi manga – are fan made manga. This kind of manga is not written and drawn by a mangaka or manga artist.
- Gekiga manga – or dramatic pictures manga. This is an experimentalmanga.
- Josei manga – literally means "Lady Manga". This manga is exclusively for adule women
- Seinen manga – this is the excat opposite of Josei manga, this mangais for adult males.
- Shoujo manga – this type of manga is for teen or young females. The story usually focuses on relationships.
- Shonen manga – is for young males and the story usually focuses about sports, romance and action.
- Kodomo manga – simply means "child". The target audience or readers of this manga are children.
- Shoujo ai and Shonen ai – focuses on same sex relationships.
What makes manga popular?
Manga and manga characters are popular all over the world because they have these different and distinctive features and the way mangakas draw manga characters are different from the comic characters we know. Manga characters usually have: big eyes, big heads, exaggerated body or proportion and some of them even turn into small and cute stuffed toy like characters called "chibi".
Why is it complicated to draw?
Drawing manga characters is quite hard to draw, especially if you are a complete beginner because most manga characters has this hard to draw features like perfect or exaggerated body proportions, hands, faces, hair and clothes, but once you know the basics or the patterns everything will be easy for you. Another manga character feature that makes them complicated to draw is their postures and poses, most of them are in perspective views which make the body look deformed.
Drawing manga characters is fun. It is not yet too late to learn this skill. You just need practice and patience to get better.

In this great 3D game you can control the soccer ball and try to get to the finish as fast as you can. You have to collect all the corners as possible, because if you stop somewhere for a long time you lose the good time that you need.
The game play:
1. Move the ball with w, a, s, d movement.
2. The bar from top left corner indicates the speed boost you can use pressing left ctrl.
3. Space to jump and right mouse button to 'brake'.
4. If you hold the speed boost button and press space you'll jump forward fast.
This game is funny. But to our pity, in those games online, you can't control the ball with your feet, but your hands by mouse or keyboard. That's so different from the reality. After all, they are just games.
Frozen Jigsaw Puzzle is one of fun games with the theme of popular 3D animation movie Frozen. We can learn it from its title. Last time I played another puzzle game named 'Frozen Winter Puzzle'. They are similar in some ways. But this one has one more step – rotate the puzzle pieces by pressing space bar. The pieces can't be located if they haven't been rotated.
The background is the reference picture, which makes easier to finish the task, not like other games putting it by the side. However, the color of the background is too bright. This sometimes is hard to recognize.
Anyway, have fun in this game.
Night has fallen. The lights have been turned off so the game's graphics is dark. Prison guard walks around outside the cell. The player needs to help the prisoner escaped from the jail in this game. All people in this game are little black guys. Maybe someone likes the character design, but I'm not one of them.
The game play:
Use arrow keys for movement
Hold d and to move box
I think the time is very important in this game. The prisoner needs to pass through without anyone taking notice. Avoid being reached by the light of prison guard's flashlights. And the prisoner needs to find key before times runs out to 00:00.
Even if this is just one of free games online, I have to say, it's not easy to play. I still can't found the key so far.
Gangblast 2 is the second round of the physics-based shootout game in which you have to blast all gang members off the platform at all costs. Of course, there is the first round. But here we just play this one. In this game, you can use your pistol to bump off baddies and shoot barrels to cause a massive explosion. But don't waste your ammo.
In this game, the player needs to eliminate all bandits from level by using his gun to drop bandits off a cliff. And blue bricks cannot be destroyed, but yellow ones can. Bullets can also break ropes. Sometimes, the gun can even activate dynamite, freeze bandits etc. what a useful weapon!
The game is not difficult to play, but I don't really like this game, because the plot is not my type. It's too cruel.
Recently there are more new free games for football fans, like this one -- Dkicker 2 World Cup. In this game, you needs to control the player using the mouse and click with the right button for a kick. You will need good timing and steady nerves! Haha, after playing this game, I have to say, even free games are not easy to play.
You have 5 attempts to score 2 goals to qualify in this game. Move the mouse left and right to position your player, and click to shoot. Players head the ball instead of kicking when it is in the air. Try to make the goal in a single kick or header, or stop the ball first. Make sure you shoot before time runs out! You have only 15 seconds each time. Goals scored with one strike are worth 2 points all other goals are worth 1 point.
Are you ready to score the winning goal?
In this game, Baby Hazel is excited to learn how to fly a kite. As kite flying is not so easy for a toddler, she needs somebody to teach her the tricky task. Can you be with our little girl and help her in kite flying? The player needs to help little princess and her Dad in making the kite by fulfilling her needs on time. Make sure the kite does not does not get stuck on any obstacle and Hazel enjoys kite flying to fullest.
After the kite is made, Hazel and her friends go to the park to fly their kites. As all of them are too young, the player needs to guide them in flying kites and make their kite flying day fun filled and memorable by helping them to fly kites high in the air.
I found even animals can speak in recent baby games of this series.
In this game, Turbo is racing with other snail friends. The player needs to help Turbo to win. In the movie, snails eat tomatoes as their food. And in this game, Turbo also needs enough tomatoes to keep its running, just like tomatoes are its energy. Coins are helpful too. So the player needs to collect as much tomatoes and coins as possible in the run. Tapping Space is for jump and pressing arrow keys is for moving forward.
This kind of fun games is normal. But this game adapted from the movie has a sweet plot. I like it. The only thing I don't like is that the tomatoes are a bit difficult to detected because the color is too light.
In this game, the player commands his very own army to battles against all who oppose him. It includes a 3 act single player campaign, a player versus player ladder system and an intricate army management system. You can choose games online or offline.
Offline play allows you to:
Complete the single player campaign
Access basic game features
Game progress are saved on your computer directly
Online one:
On top of all the features from the offline play. Playing on the servers will allow you to:
Collect daily rewards
Compete in the ladder
Battle against your friends
Save your game online and play with your progress anywhere.
You can make the fight go faster by pressing the 2x button.
People play games online to have fun. But I don't enjoy this game anymore, so I think I will not try it again.
However, different from 2048 we're familiar, the player need to combine triangles with the same values (8+8=16) and see if you can reach 2048 in Trigngular 2048. So, in this game, the number starts with 8, not 2. And the pieces are not squares any more. They are triangles now. Each keypress still can move all pieces one the board one step. But this game is not using arrow keys to control the move of pieces, but "w", "Q", "E", "A", "S", "D". And a piece can only move to one of its three.
I have to say, this game is more difficult to play than the old one, which I got a lot of fun with. I spent a while to get used to the rule of this game. They are so different. Both of them are free games, but I prefer the old one, simple and funny.

LOL, don't know about the Tequila, we were far too busy cleaning up and
emptying buckets, etc. to even think about a drink. But the Coleman propane
stove, or a grill is a definite must!!!! Especially if you have all
electric appliances and no natural gas, etc. Have to laugh when I hear the
reports where they say be prepared for electricity outages for up to a
week....we had more than 3 weeks of power outtage, others had much longer!!! The
grill w/ charcoal, etc. sure came in handy to cook. Thankfully the water
was on the whole time, and we have natural gas hot water heater, so we
were able to take showers, etc. But one never knows if the water will be
okay to drink or not, so that's a good tip also.
We had a tree fall on our roof, so the water just poured in. Had been
prepared with a large shop vac just in case it flooded or such.....never got to
use it due to no power, so buckets come in handy too, as do mops, etc.
They also said that anything in the yard would become a projectile and
could fly through the air to damage windows. It was pretty much impossible to
bring everything in, but I did take all hanging orchids, pots, etc. out of
the trees, etc. and set them on the ground. This seemed to work fine. We
did take in furniture and things that might move around more. Having
cell phones charged and insurance paperwork, numbers, etc. handy helps too.
The quicker you call, the sooner you will be on the list. Try to do
whatever you can after the hurricane to clean up, because there will be plenty of
help, but often at a steep price. Contractors will be harder to find too,
and will become more reasonable as time goes on. Don't even think about
relying on FEMA or such, by the time they get their act together, you have
taken care of yourself. Friends, neighbors and local organizations are
usually much more help than the govt. We found that they learned very little
from Katrina, despite the reports that they were much more prepared with
Ike. HA! It took them a week to get trucks from San Antonio to Houston (a
two-three hour drive max.) and then they sat at Reliant Park for a month
getting authorization to distribute.......each day costing tax payers
countless dollars to run the refrigerated trucks with the drivers standing by the
entire time. Houston and Galveston never did use them....the water, ice,
etc. was dumped eventually. Hoping they are more organized this time.
Sorry to paint a grim picture, dont' mean to, but being prepared for the
worst is the best thing, taking care of oneself and one's family, etc.
Hurricanes just aren't the same as blizzards or floods, etc. which do not seem
to cause as much widespread damage as these storms do. Best to prepare
for the worst, if it doesn't happen, then you were at least prepared for
what did. Better safe than sorry......

My favorite hurricane disaster items were always [1] water (at least 6
gallon jugs of the stuff), [2] Coleman propane stove (gotta have coffee
no matter what), and [3] fifth of tequila because if it gets really bad,
I don't want to know about it.

What would you do?

Well, i'll wait for some of the other people to give there input before i make a desition. Ill prolly go with the majority. I should have done a pole!
post #4 of 5 Old 05-28-2007, 09:36 PM
I'd get a protein skimmer first. It gives you a lot more leeway for mistakes. Forget a water change, something die, etc.. it will really help. Nice lighting won't help that any.
Mood: Ornery
post #5 of 5 Old 05-29-2007, 03:38 PM Thread Starter
protein skimmer it is. :D I think im going to save up and buy a brand new aqua c remora skimmer with a skimmer box. For 200 dallors thats the best i can do rite? What about a used deltec 300? do they go for 200? Ive never seen a used one before.
How about this?

Microsoft Enables Azure Backups for Premium Storage
Businesses using Azure's SSD-based cloud storage can now use Azure Backup to keep their enterprise cloud application data safe.The blockbuster LinkedIn deal may have overshadowed all of Microsoft's other moves this week, but the company still had another busy week in cloud updates. Microsoft announced on June 16 that Azure Backup's data protection capabilities have been extended to Premium Storage virtual machines. Azure Premium Storage employs solid-state drives (SSDs) instead of traditional hard drives to give cloud applications a flash-enabled performance boost. Last month, Microsoft brought data replication to Premium Storage, courtesy of an upgrade to the company's cloud-based business continuity offering, Azure Site Recovery. Now, Azure Backup is getting in on the act, allowing enterprises to protect data stored their Oracle, Cassandra and SAP databases. Premium Storage customers can use the cloud backup solution to safeguard application data from both their classic and Azure Resource Manager virtual machines (VMs). They can then opt to restore those VMs to either premium or standard storage accounts, depending on their performance and cost requirements.
"One of the reasons customers deploy premium storage for virtual machines is to satisfy the IOPS requirements of enterprise critical workloads," explained Giridhar Mosay, a Microsoft Cloud and Enterprise program manager, in a June 16 announcement.

The British summer has finally arrived: the temperature has reached 29 degrees; winter coats are on the rails at M&S, and the schools have closed for the long holidays. The universities were vacated weeks ago.
How empty an out-of-term university can be I discovered again recently, wandering the echoing corridors of what used to be Queen Mary College and now styles itself Queen Mary, University of London. The lights were on; the lifts worked; there was a porter who told me where to go. But it was as though he was amazed to be stirred. A few students, or so they seemed, sat outside a café that wasn't working.
My destination was a room in just one of many buildings, old, new, and under construction, that crowd on to this site in east London, not a million miles from the Olympic Park. Outside the perimeter, the streets thronged with people purposefully going about their business; inside all was calm – eerily so around the old Jewish cemetery in the centre of the campus that QM wants to redevelop. Staff and students, it transpired, were either coming in just for exams or had already dispersed for the long vacation.
It hardly needs to be said that they can't take their campus with them. But to describe the halls of residence, academic blocks, lecture theatres and sports halls as under-occupied is to flatter them. I have no doubt that, come mid-September, the campus will be teeming again, and managers will be planning more fund-raising to pay for yet more buildings to feature in even glossier brochures and house yet more students – all justified by the twin diktats of expansion and overcrowding.
It is not fair, of course, to single out Queen Mary University for riding this particular carousel of property development. A huge number of educational institutions are engaged in essentially the same enterprise: buying up adjacent sites, commissioning architects, importing cranes, and build-build-building.
A venerable red-brick university I visited earlier this year resembled London Docklands in its earliest phase of construction. Everyone apologised for the mess. But, they explained, universities had to convince future students (and their parents) that they were getting something in return for the new fees. Yet these buildings, I wanted to scream, will be empty, or at best only partly used, for about a third of every year.
While the downtime is less, something similar applies to schools, whose ambitious construction programmes were only curtailed when the then new Education Secretary, Michael Gove, found out how much money was already committed. Yes, there are schools whose buildings are badly substandard, and some 400 children in London still have no primary-school place for next term. But the schools I pass every day are currently idle and locked to the world – like their counterparts elsewhere in the country.
Oxbridge colleges, along with the more exclusive public schools, have courted the conference and summer school business with some success. The architecture and atmospherics are their own selling points. Some well-placed city halls of residence have acquired a second life as cheap hotels during the vacations – good for them. And some public schools (which have charitable status, remember) deign to allow locals to use their gyms, playing fields or swimming pools at times during the summer. But this is granted as a favour, not a right.
The mismatch remains striking. While the privileged see the vacation income rolling in, the rest cut their losses with a seasonal shutdown, even as young people complain they have nothing to do, parents cox and box work because of inadequate childcare, and primary schools prepared to bargain up the price of Portakabins.
There are solutions: schools and colleges that double as community facilities; a requirement that favoured schools share their pools and grounds as a precondition for their tax breaks; a five-term or rolling academic year, and a stipulation that no one gets permission for a new building without explaining how it will earn its keep for more than 36 weeks a year.
So next time a vice-chancellor comes soliciting funds for a fancy new building or a teacher complains of overcrowded classrooms, ask how many days a year their existing buildings are empty – and keep your wallet shut until they offer a convincing answer.

Multiple core designs have become commonplace in the processor market, and are hence a major focus in modern computer architecture research. Thus, for both product development and research, multiple core processor simulation environments are necessary. A well-known positive feedback property of computer design is that we use today's computers to design tomorrow's. Thus, with the emergence of chip multiprocessors, it is natural to re-examine simulation environments written to exploit parallelism.In this paper we present a programming methodology for directly converting existing uniprocessor simulators into parallelized multiple-core simulators. Our method not only takes significantly less development effort compared to some prior used programming techniques, but also possesses advantages by retaining a modular and comprehensible programming structure. We demonstrate our case with actual developed products after applying this method to two different simulators, one developed from IBM Turandot and the other from the SimpleScalar tool set. Our SimpleScalar-based framework achieves a parallel speedup of 2.2X on a dual-CPU dual-core (4-way) Opteron server.

Logos University was birthed out of a visionary mandate to serve the body of Christ through an educational partnership with the local church. With more than 37 years of service, this mandate continues to be our clarion call. Through the merger of several small Bible schools and institutes dating back as far as 1977, we are today an international Christian educational ministry with students representing dozens of countries. From a simple distance education school offering certificate programs, Logos University entered a new phase in upgrading the standards, policies, and degrees under the leadership of Dr. Charles Travis when he became president in1994. The College and Graduate Schools took on a decided international scope as he partnered with ministry leaders all over the world. His passion for equipping the Body of Christ has featured prominently in making an impact in over 26 countries. Logos University restructured to a University model in April of 2014, thereby offering our students a richer variety of programs and better-qualified faculty in the majors we offer.
Many other Christian leaders across America have made substantial contributions to the life and growth of Logos University. For their selfless and visionary investment, we are eternally grateful. The current administration and faculty are ever conscious of the deep responsibility that has been passed on to us. To all who have gone before and to those who will follow, we express our gratitude.

Re: Travel Dubrovnik - Rijeka
Connections from Dubrovnik to Rijeka are not very good.
There is a ferry two days in week. It takes a day and a night - full 21 hours. Good if you have time to enjoy the scenic ride between Dubrovnik and Split and if you have money to book a cabin for the overnight part of the journey (Split to Rijeka).
There are direct buses several times per day, but the journey takes 12,5 hours! If you decide to take a bus it is worth considering splitting the journey in two and taking a break either in Split or in Zadar.
For driving, the best is to use route planner at http://map.hak.hr/en
It says:
Dubrovnik to Rijeka:
607 km, 6 hrs 15 min (note that this involves taking the toll motorway)
Rijeka to Pula: 107 km, 1 hr 20 min
I don't know if you will have a car, if you are planning to rent one it might be worth checking the option Rijeka to Zagreb (by car) combined with a flight Zagreb to Dubrovnik. Flights can be cheap, you can drive Rijeka to Zagreb in about 1,5 hrs. There is also a direct bus from Rijeka to Zagreb airport that is operated by Pleso prijevoz.
Hope this helps.

Editorial: Ridesharing business dodges legal pothole
When living under a regulatory regime, there are three hopes businesses can have from government: to gain a benefit, avoid a detriment or be left alone.
Seeing as the third option approaches the impossible, most businesses work with legislatures to gain whatever special benefits they can while avoiding burdensome regulation.
Such was the approach pursued by ridesharing companies Uber and Lyft in backing off of their opposition to Assembly Bill 2293, a bill that raises insurance requirements by mandating the companies' insurance coverage kicks in the moment drivers make themselves available to receive ride requests via the Uber or Lyft app.
Uber and Lyft now offer their support for AB2293, which passed the Assembly and Senate last week, after a compromise lowered the required coverage amount from $750,000 to $200,000. Both companies provide coverage up to $1 million once a driver is matched to a passenger. The amended bill also promised expedited approval of future Transportation Network Company products, which both Uber and Lyft are considered.
Businesses seek to reduce costs while avoiding competition. Uber and Lyft have successfully done so. AB2293, while less burdensome on these existing TNCs, still preempts the market and imposes additional costs – reducing competition.

eBay (NASDAQ:EBAY) shares have fallen 17% in the last three months behind a slew of news that could cause fundamental headwinds for the company. However, news of David Marcus leaving as the PayPal chief to join Facebook (NASDAQ:FB) could be the biggest blow yet.
The importance of eBay
PayPal is eBay's quintessential bread and butter, producing the company's growth and supporting most of its valuation. Several months ago, Carl Icahn lobbied for a Marketplace/PayPal split, saying two separate companies would unlock more value for shareholders.
In an article entitled, "Is a PayPal Split Best For eBay?" we tackled the idea of unlocking more value by splitting PayPal, and concluded that PayPal alone could be worth nearly the entire valuation of eBay. The reason lies in the fact that it's large, growing, and highly profitable.
Specifically, PayPal generated more than $6.6 billion in revenue last year, grew nearly 20% year over year, and was responsible for most of the company's $2.8 billion in profit. Therefore, it's an important business for eBay, and Facebook is banging on its door.
Facebook shows an interest
For the last few months, Facebook rumors have spread regarding a payment-processing service of sorts. In fact, some rumors speculate that Facebook may be looking at becoming a full-blown regulated bank, albeit with a social media twist. In fact, Facebook even applied for a license to launch an electronic money service in Ireland, which would allow users to store money, pay bills, and exchange currency on the platform. Currently, PayPal is the largest payment system in the world, but because of Facebook's sheer size of 1.3 billion users, this market-leading presence could fall rapidly.
With all things considered, talks of Facebook's financial services future have regressed in recent weeks, but on Tuesday, news hit that PayPal chief David Marcus is leaving the company to join Facebook. By now, most are aware of this news, but are uncertain about the long-term implications.
For example, Facebook announced Marcus as the head of its messaging products business, excluding WhatsApp. Therefore, if you remove WhatsApp from the equation, Marcus' segment appears relatively small, accounting for 200 million users.
Where does this leave Marcus? There are two possible answers to this question: First, Jim Cramer calls him "Mr. Monetization," and it's possible that Facebook is finally ready to monetize its 200 million messaging users, perhaps using Marcus to accomplish this feat without sacrificing user experience.
The second is a bit more speculative, but highly possible, and that is to build a payment-processing business through messaging, perhaps where users can message certain retailers with an order, transfer money, or something to that degree.
While this sounds foolish, or maybe simplistic, it would also be innovating and would fit with WhatsApp in the fact that most users are outside the U.S. Hence, such a service could give Facebook easy access to its 1.3 billion global users.
Foolish thoughts
It's hard to believe that Marcus would leave PayPal to focus on messaging alone, and it would be foolish (small f) to assume his new job won't play a huge role in Facebook's payment processing initiatives. eBay didn't just lose an executive, but rather someone who understands the payments business well, and whose accumulated knowledge may lead to the waking of a sleeping giant in Facebook.
Moreover, considering that eBay created over $6.6 billion in revenue with 143 million total users, how much can Facebook earn with nearly 10 times that number? The answer is scary to ponder if you're an eBay investor. However, if you're long on Facebook, then the answer could lead to much higher share prices and significantly faster growth.

As some of you have undoubtedly realized, there are currently two tags for Japan -- with and without a capital J. From what I can tell, posts tagged for one don't necessarily show up if one looks for threads posted under the other. And I haven't been able to "view" threads tagged for "japan." I've tried to contact the editors about this problem, but have had no success in effecting a change or eliciting a response. So maybe some of you can try. At the very least, if you haven't already done so, you might want to keep this problem in mind.

I attempted to post to lowercase Japan and it is no longer active. I also have another question about Kyoto. I am booked at the Westin for 3 nights and the Citidines for 3 nights. How would you divide my sightseeing itinerary? Northern and Southern Higashiama, philosophers path ect...while at the Westin, and Western and Central Kyoto while at the Citidines. When would you explore northern and southern Kyoto? Any suggestions?

Hi, hnl --
If you haven't already done so, try posting to the Japan (capitalized) board and if that doesn't work, click the yellow triangle sign with an exclamation point to the upper right of your post to contact the editors and ask them to do so. I'm sure you'll get feedback from others if you manage to switch your question to the Japan list, even if you ultimately need to start a new thread!
If you haven't already done so, I urge you to consult japan-guide.com -- it will have the answers to almost any question you could ask about visiting Japan! (however it is spelled! )
So you have 5 full days for Kyoto, or is it 6 days? Either way -- great! And just to be clear, is your aim to visit ONLY Kyoto during this time, or are you also considering Nara or other side trips, or will you be visiting them separately?
Some preliminary thoughts --
- IME, it takes about 2 days to visit both the northern and southern parts of Higashiyama. There are wonderful things to be seen in both parts; only you can decide how many of them to include in your plan. The Philosopher's Path is a relatively short (~ 2 km) long pathway along the northern stretch of Higashiyama from Ginkakuji to Nanzenji. If you are in that area and are able to walk it, there is no reason not to do so -- it can be quite pleasant, even outside of cherry blossom season.
There are some wonderful things to see in each direction from central Kyoto -- only you can decide what most interests you. Nothing any of us can tell you will substitute for your own interests. So ask what you need to ask to help focus your research, do some research, and come back to us with the questions that will help you finalize the plan that best suits your interests.
Hope that helps!

Since this is my 1 st trip the logistics are still a bit cloudy. I planned on a trip to Fushim Inari as well as the temples in Northern Kyoto. My guess is these areas will take a day each, as well as a day each for Northern and Southern Higashiama. Thanks for your input! Since I have 6 nights and 7 full days, I should have no problem covering all the above.
Report Abuse
Fushimi Inari is just a bit south of the southern part of Higashiyama and is open 24/7, so you can see it after other things have closed, if that works out for you. I thought it wonderful around sunset. Depending on which temples you choose to see in northern Kyoto, you may be able to see other things on that day as well. Do consider visiting Nara while in the area. Seven full days in the area sounds wonderful! FWIW, I spent 4 full days in Kyoto and 2 full days in/near Nara.
Report Abuse
Thanks for the tip. Fushimi Inari sounds like a great idea at sunset. I will also be taking a day trip to Nara, would have loved an overnight in Nara but I have changed my itinerary around so much, it will have to be done next trip.

I notice that your thread slid off the main page, so if you are still seeking feedback, do start a new post with the (capitalized) Japan tag!

Apparently the tech side didn't know anything about the japan/Japan glitch. A couple of days ago I posted a note about it on the Help Forum and Bryan took care of it almost immediately.
FYI -- when someone has a problem w/ the website it is best to post it on the Forums Help Forum instead of the subject forums -- the tech staff don't usually see/monitor threads on the travel boards.
Report Abuse
Thanks, janisj! I tried multiple avenues, which did not include the Help Forum. I can certainly understand that the tech staff don't monitor the travel boards -- but why didn't those who did monitor the boards, and the "triangle" messages, notify the tech staff? Ah, well, life is full of mysteries. I'm glad your efforts proved more effective than mine.

Sometimes, all it takes is a helping hand given at the right moment. One semester can make the difference between a student continuing and eventually finishing his studies at UP, or stopping his schooling in order to work. The trouble with the latter is that they rarely get the chance to complete them.
It is because of this that our NGO, Ex Libris Philippines, organized our "Concert For A Cause" fundraising activity last May 21, 2010. We're now looking for beneficiaries for our scholarship project. We seek undergraduate students who need financial assistance to continue their studies at the University of the Philippines for the first semester of A.Y. '10-'11. (Partial and complete scholarship grants for one semester will be granted based on the applicant's need)
Do you know of any deserving U.P. student of good moral and intellectual standing (preferably no INC's or 5's, with a GWA of 2.00 or higher), who REALLY NEEDS this one semester tuition fee grant? If you do, please send their contact information and any other pertinent info (e.g. references, mini bios) to Gabriela Francisco firstname.lastname@example.com (09209470835) or Tata Francisco email@example.com (09209470861) (or any other Ex Libris Philippines member you know).
Thank you so much! Please reply if you know someone---anyone---an orgmate, collegemate, friend, or classmate. A UP student who you think is deserving, and who really needs the financial aid. Just a name (or several names!) and contact number/s will do---and of course, a few sentences (personal recommendation) will be a great help. Please forward this to your teachers/students, family and friends; perhaps they may know of people who need this scholarship. Thank you so much!
For more information about Ex Libris Philippines, please go to http://exlibrisphilippines.multiply.com
For interested applicants, please submit the following:
4 pcs. 1x1 ID picture
Copy of parents' most recent ITR
Copy of TCG (a CRS printout of grades will do)
3-4 names (with complete contact info) for references
Our NGO, Ex Libris Philippines, a SEC-certified, nonstock, nonprofit organization of book enthusiasts, is raising funds in order to help send deserving but financially challenged UP students to school. Our last two fundraising projects held March 2007 and April 2008 have funded the education of seven deserving students at the University of the Philippines, Diliman.
We are now holding our third fundraising project for our NGO's Scholarship Project. This year's fundraising project is a Concert for a Cause, with performances by soprano Gabriela Francisco (BM Voice Summa cum laude and Valedictory Address Speaker during the UP Centennial Commencement Exercises 2008), her twin sister Tata Francisco, together with faculty and alumni of the UP College of Music (including award-winning guitarist Franco Maigue, award-winning oboist Franz Miguel Ramirez, Keyboard Department chair Prof. Carolyn Cheng, and pianist Raymond Sanga). All funds to be raised will go to the Scholarship Project. The concert will be on May 21, 2010, Friday, 6 p.m. at the UP College of Music, Nicanor Abelardo Hall.
Treat yourself to a night of music and magic, and help out in a good cause, too! You'll be helping send students to school. Please also help spread the word to your friends and family, and invite them to come as well!
Tickets are at Php 300.00 each. For tickets, please contact Tata Francisco at 0920-947-08-61, or Gabi Francisco at 0920-947-08-35. You can also email us at firstname.lastname@example.com, or firstname.lastname@example.com.
By simply forwarding this email to your friends, you'll be helping us A LOT already. Please help us spread the word about this Concert For A Cause! Thank you so much!

One of the perks of being a teacher is that you still have the same breaks that you once had as a student. Sembreak. Christmas break. And a "summer break" (which is a misnomer, because, as any busy student would know, it's actually the time of the year when you are actually BUSIER with different, not necessarily academic matters...anyway...back to my point)
It's hard to believe that it's sembreak, at long last.
Not that there's nothing to do. Actually, even though I'm going up to Baguio tomorrow with the family for a week, I'm bringing along...*drumroll please* PAPERS TO CHECK. Haha. What's new? :) I have tremendous backlog to plow through. But since I won't be teaching during the break, the checking load seems so much more...manageable.
I've actually developed a way of making checking FUN: bring papers to a cafe, set checking pens beside a fragrant cup of coffee, arrange papers and paper clips neatly behind a plateful of chocolate cake, and THEN start to check. Now, imagine if that cafe were the Starbucks branch in Camp John Hay...aaahhh....
I'm planning on getting A LOT of checking done over this break. :)
But what I'm really looking forward to is getting time to SLEEP. Just this morning, I woke up at seven. SEVEN. Can you imagine? What luxury, what joy! I can bask in many other such mornings as this. :)
I'm also looking forward to getting some READING done. So that's checking + sleeping + reading, all to be done in the beautiful city of Pines. BAGUIO, HERE I COME! :)
Enjoy the sembreak, everyone!
Yesterday was Duffy-Delaney Day, or Teachers' Day at the AHS.
A most unforgettable day, indeed. I am not ashamed to admit that I openly cried in front of my students. :) They were good tears. Thank you to the students who made their teachers' day very special.
And thank you to the DDD Committee (special mention: Enzo and Ernie) who made the rest of D3 EXTREMELY, CRAZILY FUN for all us teachers! Karaoke singing for four hours = WHOA
I'll let the pics do the talking. What a day.

Best way to combat stress. Ever.
Although arcade games come a close second. That's Death Star Commander Joel Falgui on the console. :)
With Sir Joel, Enzo and Vinz
The past Friday sent at least three minor epiphanies my way, most of them revolving around the general theme of "the second year of teaching." Yet Friday was a relatively light day for me, all things considered.
For one thing, my Friday started out quite leisurely. Instead of running around in agitation before the stroke of 7:45 a.m. (which, for some reason or another, I have found myself doing more constantly these past few weeks)---for once, this Friday, I just had to meet with a few students, deliver some instructions, and then retreat back to my cubicle to prepare for my classes with ten minutes to spare. Ah, the luxury of it. Those few precious minutes at the start of the day with which I could sit down and think...I missed having them. Those few minutes of clarity, of focus---they come rarer these days.
And then, one of my sections had their field trip, so I only had to substitute for another teacher for another section---no teaching involved there---and meet two of my own three. And since we were finishing up a story, and a lesson, I ended up doing light activities (on the part of the teacher, at least :)) like giving a quiz, and the worksheet for them to accomplish as a seatwork and homework. I didn't use my voice much, and I realized that it was so good just to be able to have a solid voice at the end of the day. And after I met my last class, I couldn't help but sing to myself a bit as I walked back to the workroom, just RELISHING the feeling and the knowledge that my voice was still there. :)
The rest of Friday was spent on a very productive meeting, after which my boss talked to me (and yes, I realize now that that was the catalyst for the ephiphanies :)). And after that, for the first time in FIVE WEEKS, I was able to put aside the papers I had to check and all the other work that needed to be attended to, and just put on my running shoes and go out into the sun and grass, and JOG with a friend. Never mind that as soon as we hit the field, it started to rain. Hahaha. We went to Moro and jogged there instead, and I got to see a certain Mr. T (clue: his name starts with a T and ends with a U, haha).
Friday was a good day, indeed! (And not just because of the Mr. T Sighting)
But now for the ephiphanies!
1) One good day makes up for a whole string of "bad" ones. That single enjoyable Friday rendered the other string of gray, overloaded days obsolete and...inconsequential. :)
2) Always make time for exercise. We must always take care of our health! I realized that I had become quite unfit due to lack of exercise, so much so that I have been experiencing BACK PAINS (still am, actually) since Thursday that force me to walk, sit and recline in very awkward positions. :( This is baaad. Will make time to jog again this week.
(So if you see me walking like I am in pain, then it means I am...)
3) Weariness makes itself obvious (and is actually infectious). I was told that apparently, quite a number of people have noticed a considerable "drop" in my energy level as compared to last year. I've also noticed that, more and more frequently, I am being asked if everything is OK. I was a bit surprised because I had not thought my tiredness (due to my "bad days") was obvious. And okay, okay, I admit it. My pride is hurt because I don't like it when my face spells H-A-G-G-A-R-D. Grrrarrr. :)
Thus far, that's a bit of what the second year is like: a mix of good days and bad days. And the good days---when you get to think, and plan, and execute better; when the boys are a bit more well-behaved than usual and when you are not forced to get mad; when you get some time to leave work behind and just run with the wind; when you see a certain crush-able celebrity in person (still can't get over it! hehe)---far outweigh the bad.
Here's to more good days! (And more Mr. T sightings... :))

5.5 gallon betta tank
Hey there. Well i have begun the cycle process with my tank. A few days ago I finally got some nitrites and nitrate readings. They are holding at .25 and 5.0. My ammonia though has spiked,and slowly going down. Though i keep getting smaller spikes. I did a 50% wc two days ago as my ammonia went back up to a 2. The next day it was at .5. Today its back up to 1. I know its supposed to eventually go down,but just wondering how long thats gonna take. Im gonna do a 25%-50% wc later tonite,then test in the am see how its going. I am using Seachems Stability to help the cycle process,plus amquel+ and novaqua+ as water conditioners. Im not sure that is affecting my tests or not. As for my fishy,he seems to be doing just fine. Has made multiple bubble nests already. Is very curious and active. I do see him rest on the floor of his tank and on his plants every now and again. I fed him a few pellets yesterday since the ammonia was low,but none today. I am keeping track of my results,and ill keep you all updated. Oh i did also throw in some gravel from my sisters tank for good measure.
post #2 of 4 Old 01-03-2009, 10:21 PM
hi, please remove the fish from the cycling tank ., the betta is an air breather, therefor the cycling will be a bit less traumatic and destructive for it. take him to your sisters tank till the cycling is complete. do not make water changes or use any additives , they will disrupt the cycle process.the stability and the gravel from your sisters tank will help the cycling along.. please do not use fish in a tank that is in cycle, it is cruel and inhumane treatment.

Adam paid very quickly and was extremely communicative throughout the whole process. Everything went smooth and flawless in this perfect transaction. He is a great head-fier and I would highly recommend him as a buyer.

Adam bought a Denon D2000 cable. He communicated well and we were able to come up with a fair price quickly. I shipped the item to his sister here in the US back in early January and she brought the cable to him in Europe just recently. Paid quickly.

Adam is a good buyer. When I couldn't accept Paypal, he (from the UK) went to the hassle of having a colleague with a Canadian account send the funds by bank transfer.

From prompt PMs with incredibly detailed descriptions through quickly sending a well packaged item to some very useful post-delivery advice Adam has been a pleasure to deal with. I'd consider buying something just because he's selling it & so should you!

I bought ReZero's from Adam. He was very nice and fast in communicating. Shipment within a day, product delivered as promised. Recommended seller.
