Rewards offered for missing fifth-grader Celina Cass as authorities and community ramp up search
- Two rewards totalling $30,000 offered for any information
- Stepfather Wendell Noyes was committed for schizophrenia in 2003
- Arrested for threatening ex-girlfriend
- Noyes says family is 'grieving' as they issue plea for her safe return
- Police plan on questioning every person in the town
- Officials still not treating her disappearance as suspicious
Inexplicable: Friends and family say Celina Cass is the last person they would expect to run away
Two rewards are being offered in the disappearance of a New Hampshire girl as police say they'll do 'whatever it takes' to find her.
The FBI announced Saturday that it was offering a $25,000 reward for information leading to the whereabouts of Celina Cass, who's been missing for five days.
The reward would also cover information leading to the arrest and prosecution of anyone responsible for the disappearance of the fifth grader, who was last seen Monday night.
Supervisory Special Agent Kieran Ramsey said: 'This reward should not be read into that we are transitioning in any way in this investigation.'
Ramsey added that recent, successful cases of recovered missing children have resulted in vigilance from the public.
'We are still aggressively - aggressively - searching and hoping to bring Celina Cass home,' he said.
In addition, a member of the community who wished to remain anonymous put up a separate $5,000 reward for any information.
Celina vanished from her bedroom on July 26, when she was last seen playing on her computer at about 9pm. The next morning, she was gone.
Meanwhile, police are turning their attention to the missing girl's computer as it has been revealed her stepfather has a troubled past filled with allegations of criminal behaviour and mental illness.
Police are desperately searching for her and plan to question everyone in the small town of Stewartstown, New Hampshire, which is just a mile away from the Canadian border.
'Whatever it takes': A New Hampshire State Police Trooper puts crime scene tape around the family home of Celina Cass in the town of Stewartstown on Wednesday after her disappearance
On Friday night, the stepfather of the shy fifth-grader, Wendell Noyes, said family members were 'grieving' - as a friend issued a statement on their behalf with a direct plea to Celina, saying 'we will not stop searching for you until you are back in our arms'.
Troubled past: Celina Cass's stepfather, Wendell Noyes, was diagnosed with schizophrenia in 2003 and was hospitalised earlier this week
It has emerged that Noyes, 47, was involuntarily committed in 2003 after being diagnosed with schizophrenia and arrested for threatening an ex-girlfriend.
According to court records obtained by ABC, the woman said Noyes broke into her home while she and
her two children slept, picked up her mattress and slammed it down.
She also told authorities that he threatened to throw her down the stairs.
At the time, Judge Richard Hampe ruled Noyes was incompetent to stand trial, writing that the man's mental illness created 'a potentially serious likelihood of danger to himself and others'.
A forensic examiner said Noyes was a paranoid schizophrenic, who most likely developed the condition while he was in the Air Force.
Celina's family have said that she would never run away from home or leave with a stranger.
Speaking yesterday from a motel in Canaan, Vermont, where he and Celina's mother are staying, Noyes told the Boston Herald: 'Right now, we're in the process of grieving.'
At a press conference last night, a friend broke down as she read out a statement on behalf of Celina's family.
She said: 'Our beautiful Celina is a happy child who brings much love and joy into the lives of those who know her. Her safe and speedy return is our sole priority and focus.
'We remain hopeful and vigilant and
trust in the investigative abilities of the authorities involved. We
pray that our little girl is returned home soon.
'We plead for answers and ask if you saw or know anything at all, however insignificant you may think your information is, that you come forward now without hesitation and share it with our investigators.
'And Celina, if you can hear this now, please know how much we love and we miss you. You are in our thoughts and in our prayers. We will not stop searching for you until you are back in our arms.'
Devastated: New Hampshire State Police officers watch as a woman identified as Celina Cass's mother, under a blanket, is escorted from the family home on Wednesday
Her disappearance has shaken the small town, with some fearing that she may have been taken out of the country.
State police from New Hampshire and Vermont, along with FBI child abduction specialists and U.S. border patrol, scoured the area Thursday, even sending agents as far as New York and Virginia.
Investigators say they have little to go on, with no signs of an abduction or a struggle but no sign she ran away either.
Jane Young, New Hampshire's assistant attorney general, said they were going to talk to every person in town.
'Every house, every individual in the neighbourhood is being spoken to,' she said.
She added: 'We just continue to look
for her with all available assets. We don't have any evidence at this
juncture to indicate that this is a criminal investigation."
Investigators are painstakingly going through 225 tips, some of which have come from as far away as North Carolina and Illinois.
More than 100 searchers are now involved in the manhunt for the 11-year-old girl, including the FBI and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. The town of just 800 people is only a mile from Canada.
So far, this extraordinary effort has turned up nothing.
Search continues: Family friends hold up missing posters for Celina for passing cars to view outside the family home on Thursday
Hunt: A New Hampshire Fish and Game officer uses as GPS device as he searches for Celina along a road near her home on Wednesday. An FBI abduction team has now joined the investigation
Kiernan Ramsey of the FBI's New Hampshire office told ABC: 'We're using advanced techniques from aviation to canines and the like. We are hopeful some positive outcome could result.'
Frantic search: Celina Cass vanished from her home in the small town of Stewartstown, New Hampshire
He added:
'Some have made a lot of debate as to whether this is a missing persons
case or an abduction. I will tell you, from the FBI's perspective,
labelling of this case does not matter, when it comes to the resources
that we are bringing to bear.'
The front lawn of the home where Celina lives with her mother, stepfather and 13-year-old sister has been turned into a shrine, with candles, stuffed animals and notes to the missing fifth grader.
Community members outside the home are flagging down cars and handing out flyers with Celina's image.
'It's a big world and she's a small girl and she's only 11. She doesn't know how to handle herself,' said Stewartstown resident Shahannah Fuller.
Celina's mother and stepfather have not spoken to the television media, and have requested 'absolute privacy'.
On Wednesday an extensive land search was scaled back, and police trawled the Connecticut River using two boats.
They lowered the waterway so helicopters could scour it from the air, while officers desperately searching an area within a half-mile radius of her home.
Friends and neighbours have been holding candlelit vigils for Celina every night since she disappeared, as they desperately pray for her safe return. They gather around a framed photograph of the schoolgirl on a picnic table, surrounded by candles.
Friends say Celina was the last person they'd expect to run away.
Fighting back tears and holding a lit candle at the gathering, family friend Rebecca Goodrum said: 'She never went anywhere without her mom or sister.'
Comforting: Family and friends of Celina wait on the porch of the family home, Wednesday, as the town searched for the 11-year-old
She said: 'She was beautiful. She was the light of everything.'
Another, Kayla Baglio, said: 'She is very shy. If she doesn't know you, she'd look at her sister to see if it was OK to talk to you.
One of Celina's schoolfriends, 11-year-old Makayla Riendeau, said she was very athletic and a stickler about getting her school work done on time.
She said: 'She's a very good friend, and she never lets anybody down.
Shannon Towles, who owns a mini-mart on Route 3, said her disappearance had shaken the town, which has just 800 residents.
She said: 'It's creepy. Things like this don't happen here. I know that's kind of a tired phrase. I'm an overprotective mom as it is. Now it's going to be way worse.'
Popular: Celia Cass pictured left in her basketball uniform and right, with friends in a photo she posted on Facebook. Her friends have described her as athletic and hardworking, and say she would never run away
Hunt: Residents post flyers on trees in Stewartstown to help find Celina
Mrs Towles said Celina wasn't the type of girl to hitchhike or run away. She said: 'She's just a little girl and she's a nice little girl.'
Celina attends Stewartstown Community School, where she is one of just 85 pupils.
The district superintendent described her as popular and well-liked, and said six counsellors were on hand to help students cope with her disappearance.
Mrs Towles said her daughter, Echo,
had asked her whether she thought Celina was still alive.
She said: 'How do I answer that question? And do I want to? I don't want to think about it, but I pray every second that she is.'
Friends and neighbours have spent the last four days posting flyers showing her smiling face on every available lamppost and tree trunk.
Shaken: Celina is one of just 85 pupils at the town's school. Counsellors are on hand to help students cope with her disappearance
On Thursday police searched the woods behind an apartment building about a mile north of the town. They carried bags and boxes, but it was unclear if they collected anything.
Later officers went into Celina's home, then stretched yellow crime scene tape around it before posting a uniformed officer outside.
Then plain clothes police officers wearing purple rubber gloves surrounded a red pick-up truck parked across the street from the house, taking photographs and looking inside.
Lieutenant Douglas Gralenski, a state Fish and Game Department official helping to search the river, said: 'Honestly, we don't know where else we can look. There's so much that's unknown.'
He said: 'It's not a deep river. You'd be hard-pressed to find six to eight feet in
most of it in that area. When we had it drawn down, it was
exceptionally low.'
The investigation has now been passed on to the New Hampshire Attorney General's Office.

from Jan
In keeping up with our site, you may have noticed that Jeremy, Joshua, and I do not really have a lot of stuff. (I'll just point you to our Archives section rather than trying to linked to each post we've written about that!) Although, as I type this sentence, I can spot 5 toy construction vehicles. But at least they do help out around the house!
Recently, when I did my quarterly sweep of the kitchen cabinets to look for donatable items and, having done a thorough job last quarter, found nothing to donate. I was both surprised and proud. Admittedly, there are some things I regret donating: a few pieces of clothing, a couple of books, a big pitcher. Alternately, I am surprised by some of the things I nervously donated, but have not missed at all.
Crock pot (and the crock pot specific cookbook I just HAD TO HAVE): I always wanted to use my crockpot, but I just never did. I wanted to be the kind of person who just threw a few ingredients in the crockpot at night and magically had a super-delicious, super-healthy breakfast in the morning. It is just not me. And it never will be. I used my crockpot to make chili which, by the way, can be simmered on the stove. I have a feeling most crock pot recipes can be adjusted to slow cook on the stove top or in the oven. And, hey look, a big open space in my cupboard where my crock pot used to be!
Muffin pan: I have a secret...instead of putting paper liners in muffin tins and painstakingly filling each little spot in the pan, just dump the batter into a small cake pan and bake it! I've had great luck using a 8x8 square baking dish or one of my oven-proof pots baking muffin batter (plus then you can call it a cake). You have to experiment with the cooking time a bit, but for me, that is much less frustrating than cleaning out a muffin pan or storing it!
Baking dishes: I used to have 4 or 5 baking dishes. Talk about taking up a lot of cupboard space! Now, I have 2. The 8x8 square baking (or "muffin") pan and a 9x13 rectangle pan. A few years ago, I invested in a decent set of cookware that can be used in the microwave, stovetop, or oven. So, I've whittled the baking dishes down to these two (although I was very sad when I broke a 40 plus year old red Pyrex baking dish a few months ago, a family heirloom!). And, I have to admit, really the only time I use the 9x13 pan is to make Joshua's birthday cake. Mmm...when is the next donation bag getting filled???
Double sets of cooking utensils: I used to have two of everything—spatulas, slotted spoons, scooping spoons, even ladles! I've completely disposed of the ladles, we don't eat gravy and soup can be served with a big spoon. But, otherwise, we have one of each. If I am sauteing vegetables in one pot and cooking pasta in another pot, I have no problem using the same utensil to stir both. (If I cooked "fancier" recipes, I might feel differently about this.) Recently, I had to get rid of our one spatula. I will replace it...I think!
Set of dishes with more than 8 place settings: Seriously, if there are more than eight people eating at my house, we are using paper plates. Maybe that makes me a disagreeable hostess, but I'm not cleaning more than eight place settings per meal! We are a family of 3 and have a set of dishes with six place settings (minus one large dinner plate). We use our "salad" plates for our dinners and our "dinner" plates as our serving pieces. It works for us and will hopefully continue to as our family grows. Have I had to quickly wash a dish or two before setting the dinner table occasionally? Of course, but not enough times to make having more dishes worth it.
I highlight these things because, at one time, I thought these were essential items. They ended up not being essential at all. Either I really never used them or have found ways to replace them with existing items. This saves space (now I have a place to put my rarely used, but deemed necessary toaster away) and lots of cleaning/upkeep (who really enjoys cleaning all those little openings on a muffin pan). And, for me, that makes my kitchen more COMFY.
POSTSCRIPT: Do you have things you consider parting with, but can't quite do it? Put them away and see how long it is before you use it again. If three months go by and you haven't used it, donate it! If you've used it occasionally, think if there is another way to achieve the purpose of the item with other things you have. If you've used it frequently in that time, keep it.

I must say, I love Negros Oriental. There's the relaxing city of Dumaguete and then Dauin, which is famous for one activity: tourists can go snorkeling and swimming with turtles in Apo Island.
Apo Island is a volcanic island situated at the southeastern tip of Negros Oriental. Its surrounding marine habitat is considered a marine preserve, and it gets a two-thumbs up in terms of balance between tourism and conservation. Tourism revenue benefits local families in the area.
Like I said, Apo Island is mostly known for its sea turtle activity, but I find that the snorkeling experience it offers is just as equally amazing.
Swimming with turtles in Apo Island
Because I was alone and didn't want the hassle of finding other tourists for boat sharing, I signed up on a joiner Apo Island tour.
I have so many pictures in my adventure here in Apo Island, it's crazy. Halfway through making screenshots from the videos, I stopped and thought, there is too much beautiful in here it was actually tiring.
Anyway, from the shores of Zamboanguita it took about 30-45 minutes to reach Apo Island. We stopped several meters from the shore of the island, where the sea turtles can be seen. We were divided into groups of 4 and assigned a single guide. Our guide beckoned us to follow him as he looked for sea turtles.
We immediately saw one near the shore, but there were too many people so we went a little further. At one point we saw two sea turtles together. The other one — which is the biggest one that I've seen, with head the same size as a human's, if not bigger — stopped to eat some sea grapes. We had time to watch it and take photos and videos.
We weren't allowed to touch the sea turtles and advised to keep our distance, but it was still amazing. We were so close with them I resisted the urge to hug one (probably a bad idea anyway).
There are also manta rays in this area of Apo Island, but they are in the deeper parts of the sea, about 20-30 meters down.
Snorkeling in giant coral gardens
After the waves had gotten stronger, we went next to two snorkeling sites. I must say, Apo Island features the best underwater scenery I've seen as of yet, better even than the Coral Garden in Coron. The corals are diverse and massive and there are all sorts of sea vegetation.
You need to freedive to see the best sights. I'm a modest swimmer and can easily tire, so I stayed on my lifevest and floated from above. Our guide stayed by me and was very enthusiastic to capture the underwater tableau, often volunteering to take my GoPro as he dived smoothly down to the ocean floor. I appreciated this gesture immensely, otherwise I wouldn't be able to see what it's like at the bottom.
As I was later browsing the videos, I was blown away. It seemed like a natural setup for an underwater-themed magazine. There's so much sea plants and marine creatures I hadn't seen before.
These are some of my GoPro shots. I just enhanced them a little bit, but honestly even the unedited ones are already good to publish. I sent some over to my friends and they were also impressed.
For me, Apo Island should be one of the highlights of tourism in the Philippines.
If these photos aren't convincing enough, here's a short video of my snorkeling/freediving adventure in Apo Island:
Short travel guide to Apo Island, Negros Oriental
How to get to Apo Island
Apo Island is accessible from Dumaguete City. If you're going to join a package tour, transportation is usually already covered via a private jeep. Else, to commute, here are the directions:
- From anywhere in Dumaguete City, ride a tricycle to Siaton.
- Ride a jeepney to Malapatay, Zamboanguita.
- Walk toward the port. You can also look for other joiners in a boat.
Where to stay in Apo Island
If you're planning to stay in Dumaguete, you can check out the lowest prices of accommodations in Dumaguete here.
On the other hand, if you're planning to stay in Apo Island, you can check out the following accommodations:
- Apo Island Beach Resort: Official website/ 0939 915 5122 or 0917 701 7150
- Liberty Lodge and Dive: Official website
- Mario Scuba Diving and Homestay: Official website / 0906 361 7254 or 0919 622 3671
- Ronors Lodging House
- H-H Rooms for Rent
Aside from these, there are also several resorts and hotels in Dauin. This option is best if you're looking for a more comfortable accommodation or if you're with a family. You can see the lowest prices of accommodations in Dauin here.
Going on an Apo Island tour
For its worth, going to and doing the sea turtle activity in Apo Island is actually cheap.
If you're solo, I recommend signing up for a joiner tour, as I did. I availed of an Apo Island tour for P1200 from the dive center of Harold's Mansion. It covers everything from transportation (Harold's Mansion to Zamboaguita and back, as well as the boat ride) to fees and lunch. I only paid a little more than I would if I did it DIY, and the convenience and helpful guides from the dive center were all worth it. In fact, I'd definitely recommend them, especially for solo travelers like me.
- Harold's Mansion: Facebook page / (tour) 0917 783 5172/ (lodging) 0917 302 4455
Tip: Make sure to reserve in advance to get a confirmed slot. Don't forget to bring a bottled water, as the activity can get pretty tiring.
Hotels and beach resorts also offer tours, but they are usually expensive. I've seen prices ranging from P2000 to P3000 per person. Your best option is to look for budget-friendly travel agencies in Dumaguete City.
If you're planning on doing it DIY, here are the current rates you should take note of (updated as of June 2017):
- Boat rates: 4 pax – P2000 / 6 pax – P2500 / 8 pax – P3000 / 10 pax – P3500
There are other required fees:
- General admission fee: P100
- Guide, maximum of 5 people: P300
- Mask and snorkel rent: P100
- Life jacket: P200
What do you think about snorkeling and swimming with turtles in Apo Island? 🙂

Depredation of artificial avian ground nests was studied in 1994 and 1995 on cool-season and warm-season grasslands in western New York State. The study examined the effects of habitat type and distance from forested edge on nest success in adjacent fields. Two experiments were conducted. The first examined the effects of nest distribution on nest success. Experimental predation rates were highest at the field-forest boundary, although there was no correlation between predation rate and distance from edge. Overall predation rates for cool-season grasslands differed significantly between years, with predation rates being higher during the 1995 field season. The second experiment examined the effects of dense nesting cover on nest success. Predation rates for nests in dense nesting cover varied among distance classes in 1995 but not in 1994; predation rates were also higher in 1995 than in 1994. Experimental rates of nest predation were similar in pasture/cool-season grasslands and warm-season grasslands in both years, suggesting that dense cover did not improve productivity of ground-nesting birds. Indirect evidence suggested that the primary predators along the forest-field boundaries were mammals, with birds and small mammals most frequently depredating nests away from the edge. This study suggests that dense nesting cover does not increase nesting success for small passerines on our study site.

If you are quiet as a mouse, no one in your family will know of this.

This is one of those times where you don't say anything ( unless there are little kids there) and just clean the stove the next day like nothing is wrong.

This is why you check your oven first before blindly tossing something into it. Poor mouse :(

Donald Trump's team is using a more sophisticated approach to help prepare the Republican candidate for this year's first presidential debate, Politico reports.
From Politico:
Donald Trump's team has created a detailed analysis of Hillary Clinton's debate style — including her body language and verbal tics — with the goal of helping the GOP nominee exploit weaknesses during Monday's debate, according to three sources familiar with Trump's preparations.
The "psychological profile," as the analysis is being called, is based on a statistical analysis of videos from 16 years' worth of Clinton's debates, dating back to her 2000 campaign for Senate in New York, according to the operatives. They said it was assembled with assistance from a political data firm called Cambridge Analytica that specializes in "psychographic" modeling of voters and donors, and that Trump's top advisers have been pleased with the results.
The advisers believe that the profile proves that Clinton has significant weaknesses and that they have identified her 'tells' — words, phrases or gestures she uses when she's unsure of an answer, or is trying to deflect her way out of an uncomfortable question, according to the operatives familiar with the preparations.

Research Matters No. 106: Energy Costs and Rural Alaska Out-Migration
April 6, 2017
Does expensive home-heating fuel cause people to move out of rural Alaska communities and into urban areas? Yes, but not as many as some anecdotal reports might lead you to expect. Matthew Berman, professor of economics at ISER, just completed the first study to use statistical testing to assess whether high fuel prices prompt people to leave rural communities. The research was funded by the Alaska Energy Authority.
Using data from adult Permanent Dividend applications for 2003 through 2015, the author found:
• For each $1 increase in fuel prices, fewer than 40 adults moved from rural to urban places each year.
• Most of the rural residents who moved to urban areas as fuel prices rose came from the larger, regional hub communities. Residents of smaller rural villages who left in the face of higher fuel prices were more likely to move to regional hubs.
• People's employment status and earnings, and local labor market conditions in general, had more influence than high fuel prices on decisions to leave rural places.

When it comes to people's health, a good night sleep is definitely the most important thing. Every human sleeps on average 25 years in a lifetime. Getting enough sleep is crucial, but the right position of your body is also important for improving your overall well-being!
Health Issues
Different part of the body such as blood pressure, sinus infection, blood pressure etc is affected by different position. It is much more important to focus on the right position than the sleeping hours in order to improve health condition.
Heart Burn
This disturbing health issue can be treated if you sleep on the left side. This will also improve your overall health and you will feel more energetic in the morning when you will get up.
Digestion Problems
Sleeping on your left side can also treat this issue. You will enable the gravity to boost the process of digestion if you sleep on the left side. In fact, the stomach is located on the left side of your body.
High Blood Pressure
Before exploring any treatments, consult your doctor about your condition of the blood pressure.
According to "Ehime University School of Medicine" blood pressure is affected by the sleeping position. They claim that your blood pressure will be significantly lower if you sleep with your face down.
PMS Pain
If you are facing PMS issues, the specific sleeping position can assist you to pacify the PMS pain. In this case, you must put a pillow under the knees to prevent arching of the spine.
Neck pain
The right set of pillows will keep your head even with your shoulders, reducing neck pain during the night. Find a stack height that stops you from straining your neck up or down. In the morning, try a mini workout to cut neck pain in half.
If you are suffering from insomnia or headaches, the best possible position for you would be the traditional back or side position which allows the blood to circulate easily in all parts of the body.
Sinus Problems
Your sleeping position also plays an important role in fighting a sinus infection. It is advisable to sleep with an elevated head in case of a sinus infection. This can help prevent the mucus from pooling in the sinuses.
Shoulder Pain
If you experience shoulder pain, sleep on the unaffected side as this sleeping position may alleviate the pain. In addition, you also need to bend the legs slightly. Moreover, you should grasp a pillow to the chest as well as place another pillow between the knees.
Back Pain
You should also find the tight sleeping position if you suffer from back pain. Put a pillow under your knees, lay on the back and also place rolled-up towel under your back's curve!

Build Your Library
A library can be a wonderful resource for people of all ages to indulge in their love of reading. Whether you love to read fiction or non-fiction, you have the world at your fingertips when you read a book. As books have so much potential to entertain and enlighten people, it is important that you have easy access to as many books as possible.
Today, the most efficient way to get a book is to use your computer to find, download and read it at your leisure. In some cases, you may be able to download books for free or borrow them from a local library's website. Large online retailers now give you the ability to borrow or let others borrow books from your digital collection.
A good library will have more than just physical copies of books. Today, a library will have digital copies of old newspapers and magazines to make it easier to research historical events that still have an impact on their lives today. In addition, it is common for libraries to carry movies and other forms of media that people consume on a regular basis.
There is no right or wrong answer if you are wondering how to create the perfect library. The goal is to stock it with whatever you need to enrich your life or make it easier to access the literature that you and your children love today and will love in the future.
Indian Mango Shake
Hot in…..
So hot in herre…..
So hot in….. Just singing the song of Nelly =).
Sigh, it's really hot in here. I want summer but I don't like the super hot weather today. Before I can endure the summer weather but it's really different now. I guess it's because of the climate change.
Well, thanks to my niece who are fond of making shake for the family. Indian mangoes are in season so we have always supply from the neighborhoods. Indian mangoes are best to eat with bagoong (shrimp paste). But salt is fine as well. If you want spicy you can add sliced chili in the salt, that's yummy!
We don't buy Indian mangoes because many of our neighborhoods have mango tree. They often give us and sometimes these mangoes become overripe already. Good thing my niece is there to the rescue. Her Indian mango shake is the best refreshing on this hot weather.
Timeless time-pieces for the home
When shopping for the perfect gift to give to a special couple, or perhaps something distinctive to add to the home, there are no finer items to consider than clocks. Clocks bring a unique sense of style to a room, and they can say a lot about the people that live there, too. Some clocks may prove to become the overall focal point of a space or even the entire home, while still serving as a functional, useful item that people use everyday.
Howard Miller clocks set a standard among time-pieces and command respect with their presence. These are austere and handcrafted, signifying that the owner has taste, class, and punctuality in mind. A wonderful gift for a new couple or a special relative might include a chiming mantle clock made by this revered clock manufacturer. These small items become the heart of a home, and some may find that they develop a fondness for the soothing chimes, which come to remind them of the home hearth. What better gift could there be than to give someone the sense of home and place, all in one handsome, wood-crafted product? These are the items that recipients hand down to their children, to grace their own mantles or tables with, and that comes to be associated with family and love.
The Bighearted Family
Two hours ago my sister called, she informed us that they already arrived in Calgary, Canada. Thanks God because they were at home safely. My sister with her husband and children were here for a short vacation. Their planned was going here by July but because my mother's condition wasn't better for the past months they decided to come over as soon as possible. Everyone is excited for their comeback after 3 years but time flies because their vacation was over and though it was only for less than a month, I'm sure they were very happy reunited with us after long years of staying in Canada.
Their family is the best. They have been very generous ever since. I pray that God will continue shower many blessings to my sister's family. I don't know how to express my thankfulness for all the things they did and bestowed especially to me and my daughter.
I won't think of my daughter's school bag this coming school year. My sister already bought. I hope it would last for three years or more because it was pricey. One my nieces bought her two pairs of shoes and I got new bag. Another niece left to me her old Samsung MV800 digicam. I told her that I have planned of buying digicam and hearing my words she said hurriedly that she will give her used camera. Another niece gave me an old Samsung nexus. They provided our foods everyday and even before going back to Canada, my sister went to market to buy our foods for a week. Actually, there are many things they gave to us and they didn't ask for anything in exchange. They are such a bighearted family. Truly we are blessed to have them in our family. I pray that God will guide and bless their family abundantly.
Personalized Mothers Rings as Birthday Present

His birthday is fast approaching and suddenly he was rushed to the hospital and he didn't survive. He passed away a month before his 70th birthday.
It was a saddening moment and alarming when my mother was rushed to the hospital for the third time. She has been on and off in the hospital since December last year. The third time was really alarming and we even brought her in Manila. That time her birthday was fast approaching so I was really frightening. I have been counting the days and looking forward in celebrating her special day. I was very happy when I heard the good news that she will be discharged in the hospital after 16 days of confinement.
I'm glad because my mother celebrated her 73rd birthday and her condition is doing well. My wish for her birthday is always good health and happiness. I would like to give her personalized mothers rings. I didn't have the chance to give any present for her birthday but I know it's not too late. After this post I will look for this kind of ring and give it to her as my birthday present.
Watching Meteor Garden for the nth Time
I can't believe I'm watching Meteor Garden again and this is for the nth time already. I remember watching this show on ABS-CBN; it was first aired almost 11 years ago. It was the first Asian drama series aired in the Philippines. I was really hooked and addicted on this drama. I even bought Meteor garden stuff like stickers and photos of F4. I wasn't contented watching it on ABS-CBN because I remember renting DVD's of this series. After watching this hit series, I began to appreciate Asian dramas especially Korean drama series.
When I heard that Meteor Garden will be aired again on ABS-CBN, I was so excited, lol. I remember my younger days and the days I was addicted to this drama series. Still the excitement is there even I already know the story.
I uploaded the episodes in my Starmobile Engage 9 and currently enjoying it again. Haist, I wonder where are the main casts now. Barbie Hsu (Shan Cai), Jerry Yan (Dao Ming Si, Vic Zhou ( Hua Ze Lei), Vanness Wu (Mei Zuo) and Ken Chu (Xi Men).
For those who are not familiar of this series, let me share the Synopsis (Wikipedia)
The story centers around a poor teenage girl named Shan Chai, who at the persistence of her parents goes to a university for rich people. The university is dominated by Dao Ming Si Hua Ze Lei, Mei Zuo and Xi Men, four rich and handsome but arrogant students collectively known as 'F4', short for 'Flower 4'. They are heirs to four rich and influential families in Taiwan. They terrorize the school by handing out red cards to those they do not like, which allows other students to bully the victims until they leave the school.
After one of Shan Chai's friends receives the wrath of F4's leader, Dao Ming Si, and receives a red card, Shan Chai stands up to Dao Ming Si and slaps him, which in turn results in a red card of her own. However, Shan Chai's persistence in standing up for what is right gradually gains F4's respect and Dao Ming Si falls in love with her.
There are also Korean (Boys over Flowers) and Japanese (Hana Yori Dango) version of this series. I watched the Korean version and planning to watch the Japanese version. I won't say Meteor Garden is the best because i like also Boys over Flowers but the original will always be in my heart.
Custom Magnetic Decals and Impressions
True sports fans should be able to express their passion in a variety of different ways. For example, magnetic impressions could be placed onto metallic objects such as refrigerators and lockers. Such cool items can be customized with specific logos and themes. In fact, professional athletes and teams aren't the only images that could appear on sports themed magnets. People can personalize their own magnets with custom pictures, names and logos. For example, parents can choose to have the image of their children on sports themed magnets. The unique pictures may include a child playing his or her favorite sport while wearing a uniform.
Magnets can also be customized and then placed onto lockers in schools and sports facilities. Teams can customize magnetic impressions with images and logos of a school or mascot. Such cool magnets may provide some extra inspirations for athletes taking a break during a game. Mini lockers in school gyms could also be decorated with magnets bearing themes related to the school.
Custom magnetic decals could be attached to all types of vehicles. For example, magnetic impressions could be pressed onto the exterior of a car. Some magnetic decorations could also be attached to the interior side of a windshield. The bottom line is that drivers could show their love for a particular sport while cruising on the road. Magnets also make great promotional items at trade shows, conventions and other major events. A company can print its brand name and logo on cool magnetic decals.
Package from Canada
My sister and her family from Canada are here in the Philippines for three weeks vacation. The initial planned was going here in July because its vacation in Canada but it was changed. They decided to come here now because of my mother's illness.
Last January they sent us package and arrived first week of March. We didn't open the package because we were waiting for my mother's discharge from the hospital. We never thought her confinement will last more than two weeks. This is the reason why my sister and her family decided to come home for a short vacation.
We were happy and blessed because my mother has been discharged from long days hospital confinement two days before my sister and family arrive. March 28, they were here and we hurriedly opened the two boxes of package. Thanks to my sister and her family for all the stuff for me and my daughter. Your family is the best and I know God will bless you more for being so generous and helpful.

LIME Scholarships helping families
Daviot Kelly and Keisha Hill, Gleaner Writers
In September, telecomms giant LIME stepped up to help some of the parents in difficulty get their children a good education. Weston Allen is a fifth-form student at Kingston College and is one of the recipients of the LIME Scholarship Fund.
His mother, Stacy-Ann Francis-Williams, was elated that he was successful in receiving a scholarship.
"I have three boys and it was very difficult to purchase uniform, shoes and educational supplies for them," Francis-Williams said. "I was worried about providing for them, so my son getting a scholarship helped to lift the burden off my shoulders." Francis-Williams said after visiting a LIME store, she filled out a scholarship application and Weston was later chosen. An equipment operator at Kingston Container Terminal, Francis-Williams said her son has settled well in fifth form and is currently focusing on his school based assessments for CSEC.
Competitive Field
"He tries his best to get very good grades because he wants to do actuarial science," she said. "He has browsed the University of the West Indies website and has realised that the space is really competitive."
Devon Reynolds, who has three daughters at various levels of the education system, got a scholarship for his youngest, Deborah, a student at Webster Memorial Basic. He attended the LIME Skool Aid back-to-school main fair in Portmore on August 24.
"I wasn't expecting it all," he said. "I know there are hundreds of people who pass through, so to be chosen was a blessing. I really appreciate it." Reynolds is a music teacher at George Headley Primary, so he knows the value of a good education and the costs associated with that.
"Her (Deborah's) fees are more expensive than the others," he said. "The scholarship covered the cost for shoes and some other basic stuff." Added to that, he has to travel from Portmore, which means daily toll fees.

¡La primavera, la sangre altera!
Literal translation: The spring enlivens the blood
Idiomatic translations:
1.Spring is in the air
2.Spring has sprung
3.The sap rises in the spring
Why do we say that "Spring is in the air"?
Every time spring ("primavera") comes we say that "Spring is in the air", especially after a cold winter in which most of us tend to feel the winter tiredness, a bit sad, down, melancholic and even depressed.
In this sense, many psychologists and sociologists agree in pointing out that spring brings not only new relationships, euphoria and joy, but also spring allergies.
During these 90 odd days, we will experience two eclipses, changes in the visibility of the planets, maximum solar activity, meteor showers, a change of time, daylight will dominate our lives and seeds will begin to germinate. All these changes that occur around us affect our body, our personal relationships, work and our mood after the lethargy of the cold and the darkness of winter.
Due to the increase in solar radiation and the changes that occur in the meteorology itself, these cause an effect in our body that results in the production of certain hormones, as occurs with melatonin, which affects in the emotions, appetite, sleep frequencies and sexuality, to name just a few.
According to well-known doctor Daniel Cardinali, from Buenos Aires, Argentina, expert in biological rhythms, the human species have a biological calendar that varies with the seasons of the year, which works with hormonal stimuli.
Since there are fewer nocturnal hours in the spring, melatonin production varies, resulting in changes in the individual's physical and emotional responses.
It is known that in the spring there is an increase in sexual relations, mainly because another hormone, the pheromone, also is affected by the increase of the hours of light.
Moreover, Albert Szent-Györgyi von Nagyrápolt, a Hungarian American physiologist who won the Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine in 1937 discovered vitamin C and the components and reactions of the citric acid cycle. He demonstrated that various physiological functions such as stress, good or bad mood and fertility are related to the amount of sunlight we receive.
Furthermore many historians assert that, for this reason, many ancient civilizations gave a very special importance to this season of the year.
When these hormonal changes occur, the person usually tends to feel more cheerful and extrovert and their relationships can change in a very positive way.

When I was younger, on Saturdays, we used to watch cartoons. I liked to sit and eat cereal and watch all my favorites. Bugs Bunny and the Looney Tunes, Smurfs, and last but not least, was Superheroes. My dad would come sit and watch with me. He liked comic books and the Superheroes were something we could watch together. What I couldn't wait for was for was Wonder Woman and Supergirl....boy, I had to wait. Most of the time they were just side kicks or played off secondary to their male counter parts, but I still couldn't wait to see how they would always save the boys!
Wonder Woman the "real" TV show was on syndication and if I was lucky enough I got to stay up late and sneak an episode. Lynda Carter was so strong and beautiful. Lifting cars and capturing the bad guys, never a hair or eyelash out of place. With the onset of the movie, my love for Wonder Woman has resurfaced.
Lately I've been practicing my yoga like Wonder Woman. Half naked. (At home of course!!) SWEATY, hair everywhere and make up dripping down my face. (only an Amazon Goddess doesn't sweat!)
What I realized is that it is time to stop my negative self talk and embrace the body I have right now. After a life time of bad eating habits, eating disorders on every spectrum: from starvation to binging/purging, I'm tired. It's time to enjoy the strength, the curves, the stretch marks and everything in-between. To acknowledge the WONDER of my WOMANhood and just be.
It is freeing to finally uncover and unleash my WONDER WOMAN.
Try it.
Stand in your mirror naked, and take the WW Stance.
Feel the power.
Feel the GODDESS shining through.
You will LOVE IT!

Book the Heathrow Park Inn
including 8 days parking
to the airport
customer rating
Fantastic for families, handy for the transfers
If youre heading off for a fun holiday with the family and you need an overnight Heathrow hotel to make getting to the airport in time that bit easier in the morning, the Park Inn at Heathrow Airport could be the one for you. Posh hotels are lovely, but theyre not always designed with kids in mind, and especially if you have a young family, you might not feel like theyre exactly rolling out the red carpet for you. If you want a hotel you and your kids can relax in, with transfers to the airport taking just a few minutes, you cant go wrong with the Park Inn Hotel at Heathrow.
So much to offer the kids
Get your holiday started a day early by giving kids the thrill of an extra night in a hotel. This one has a full size pool an unusual feature amongst Heathrow hotels, two family-friendly restaurants, childrens play areas (under eights eat free), childrens fun packs and all sorts of little features which will make you feel welcomed while keeping them entertained.
Customer reviews
As I broke my ankle while I was away on holiday I was very pleased with the help given to me by the hotel staff at the Park Inn. They provided a wheelchair and someone to push it and waited on me during the buffet breakfast. Not the sort of service most would require but nice to know that things work out when you have a problemMrs Searle (Park Inn)
See more Park Inn customer reviews
Overall rating: 88%by 59 guests
Quick and easy transfers
The Park Inn Heathrow hotel is one of the closest for direct access to Heathrow terminals 1 and 3, and transfers via Heathrow Hoppa bus to any of the terminals takes just minutes. Theres also a free bus you can catch, and parking on site for more than 600 cars. It couldnt be easier.
Additional facilities
One of the big bonuses from a stay at the Park Inn Heathrow Hotel is the additional facilities you can take advantage of for free during your stay. The main one is the large indoor heated swimming pool which the kids are bound to love, or where you can soak off the work stresses with a few lengths before taking a turn in the Jacuzzi. Alternatively there is a gym with cardio equipment, weights and resistance work-out machines, and the fitness centre also has a sauna and whirlpool you can use. There are large changing rooms, including private change and showers, plus lockers to store your belongings. All these amenities are free to guests. There are also some small treatment rooms from which they run the Ki Spa where you can choose from a range of relaxing treatments including facials or massages to ease into your holiday feeling completely soothed. Very few hotels around Heathrow enjoy a pool of this size where the kids can really let off steam, so a stay at the Park Inn comes with true family appeal. The fitness centre is open from 6.30 am until 8.00pm and from 8.00am to 8.00pm weekends.
We recommend the Park Inn Heathrow hotel for:
Family stays - With 121 family rooms available for two adults and two children, or suites, plus cots and all the little extras that the kids will love, this is the perfect family-friendly hotel.
Parking - There is on-site parking for 650 cars, and transfers are simple and cheap via the Heathrow Hoppa that takes just a few minutes to take you straight to the terminal doors.
Value - This is one of the best value hotels on the Heathrow strip. If budget is a factor, the Park Inn will pay dividends.
Pool - Keeping the kids entertained in an enclosed hotel space is always a challenge. Let them burn off some energy in the full-size heated indoor swimming pool.
Food and drink - For family dining you cant get better value or more relaxed than this, but couples wont feel out of place. Theres something for everyone here.
Getting to the airport:
The Heathrow Hoppa shuttle bus runs regularly from the hotel to Terminals 2, 3 and 5 during the airport's opening hours (5am - 11:30pm). The bus stops at other hotels on the way, so we recommend allowing an extra 30 minutes to get to the terminal.
Tickets cost £4.50 per person when bought on the day - you'll find more details on the Transfers tab.
Overnight parking is £15 per night.
If you need parking for the whole of your stay, search for our 'airport hotel and parking' packages. It's often cheaper to book them together than individually.
Hotel location:
The Park Inn is less than 15 minutes from all terminals in good traffic. Detailed driving instructions and a postcode for satnavs will be on your confirmation email.
Arriving by train? The closest station is Hatton Cross, which is 11 minutes from the hotel in good traffic. A taxi will cost at least £12.
Check in: 2pm, check out: 12pm.
Rooms have free, high speed wifi, blackout curtains and some have a runway view - ask at reception if you fancy it. Rooms vary in size and guests say that standard rooms can be a little small. An upgrade to a larger, family room may cost from £15 on the day. En suites have a walk-in shower or shower over the bath.
Triple rooms include a double bed and single sofa bed, family rooms include two double beds. Child age 16 and under.

The restaurant provides colouring sets and high chairs are available on request.
RBG is a grill-style restaurant serving a large menu of hearty Southern American inspired gourmet burgers, steaks, pastas and salads. A daily specials' menu is also available. An average main will cost £14-£15 and expect to pay between £5.15 to £10 for a glass of wine. All steaks are selected by the hotel chef from Hereford herds and aged for 21 days.
This restaurant has been refurbished in 2016 using industrial-style decor with exposed light bulbs and accents of colour, geometric wall hangings, exposed brickwork and grey, wood-effect walls.

The Lounge bar menu includes antipasti sharing platters, hot and cold sandwiches and light bites as well larger meals (see above). Some meals are available 24-hours.
Costa Coffee and cakes are served from the bar. Our guests like the way the seating is divided to offer quieter areas and praise the helpful and attentive staff.

Guests will find fresh fruit, nasi goreng, sausages, egg and bacon and more. Be aware that this breakfast is popular so the restaurant can get busy - we'd recommend leaving a little extra time.

There is also a breakfast menu (charged separately) for made-to-order dishes. It has Costa coffees and cakes, eggs every way (almost!), pancakes and freshly grilled bacon muffins.
