Experience Cebu!
travelling in the Philippines?
Backpacking in the Philippines? Lonely planet is a useful book with useful tips and advice to help you through your travels across this beautiful country! About every region including Cebu!
If you have any plans to visit South East Asia, you must visit the Philippines, if you are visiting the Philippines you must visit Cebu!
Located in the centra visayas, Cebu has it's share of history to tell us from Magellan to the Spanish conquest to now, to beautiful beaches landscapes friendly people great choices of malls great choices of food! and so much more! Cebu is more fun in the Philippines!
I went to Cebu this year during a backpacking trip, I'd like to take this time and share my experience and recommendations of places to visit around island and maybe give you ideas on why you should visit Cebu!
Took a flight to Cebu and stayed at Tonros Apartelle in Cebu City the largest city in the island of Cebu which is 30minutes from Cebu-Mactan International Airport, and known as the queen city of the south had a nice bed to sleep which I needed after that long flight halfway round the world!.
Cebu City
After recovering the next day, took a tour round the city, first off went to "Basilica del Santo Niño" which is a church and is said to be "the founding of the convent of the Santo Niño de Cebu in 1565," this is where a statue of Sto Niño the holy child Jesus is located and is said to be oldest religious relic in the Philippines, he is also patron saint of Cebu, the statue was presented by Ferdinand Magellan (a Portuguese explorer) to Queen Juana (Of Spain) during the baptism of King Humabon and his wife Queen Juana on April 14, 1521, close by is Colon a very busy sometimes very overcrowded place, Colon has a carbon market every night selling cheap affordable items handicraft and food, went with a Filipino neighbour and friend of mine one night, the place was packed, tried some of the delicious barbeque in offer and had a shirt with my name printed out on it! It was a nice atmosphere that night, Colon street is said to be the oldest street in the Philippines. To some travellers however it would be too overcrowded.
Another place I visited during my stay in Cebu City was Fort San Pedro it is one of the smallest Spanish outposts in the country, it is now a small museum showcasing the wreckage and treasures from the sunken San Diego galleon from Mexico.
Cebu City has it's share of beautiful shopping malls an example of two are SM City Cebu and Ayala Mall which are the biggest and more popular.
The malls include lots of shops cinemas and attractions, you may have a go on the arcade centres bumping cars, or head off to the internet café
The Taoist Temple which shows Chinese heritage in Cebu, a beautiful building located in Beverly Hills one of the must see places on your travels to Cebu!
Cebu has it's museums giving you a great history lesson to take home withb you in your heart, nature reserves and so much more
Other places to visit include:
- Cebu Parkmall and Cebu International Convention Center
- Cebu Provincial Museum The museum is housed in the former Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center, which was once the Carcel de Cebu. Its four Spanish-era buildings made of coral stone contain artifacts relating to the history of Cebu. It is only a short taxi ride from Fort San Pedro.
- Provincial Capitol, which is particularly scenic at night, is by far the largest provincial Capitol building anywhere in the entire archipelago. Its original design is a miniature of the White House and was built during the American Era.
- Heritage of Cebu, (Eastern end of Colon St). A massive and particularly detailed monument showcasing the heritage of Cebu from the old Spanish to the American colonial era.
- Mount Manghilaw
- Santa Rosa Falls
(This is a list of places I went to visit which I had took with me from Wikitravel)
I went to Tops situtated in Busay Hills, Nivel Hills, Lahug which is at the top of Mount Busay, to experience Tops is to go by mountain bike, you can ask your hotel where you can hire one or you could take the taxi, but personally I'd take the mountain bike because not only it's cheaper (than getting a taxi), it's a great way of seeing that beautiful view of Cebu!
Talisay City
Went to Crocolandia a nature conservation which is located in Talisay city, it includes crocodiles and also some bird species lizards and snakes civets, Rufous Hornbill, ostrich,monitor lizards, myna, iguana, squirrel, turtles, peacock, deer and a Visayan warty pig.
Entrance fee is about 100pesos (PHP)
Mactan Island
Lapu-Lapu city is located in the island of Mactan, this is where the shrine of Lapu Lapu a chieftain who defeated Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan in 1521 and which the city is named after.
There are many places to stay around at a cheap and affordable place, I recommend Maribago Bluewater Beach resort a beautiful resort friendly and helpful staff and great accomadation, another I would recommend is the Mactan Pension House, there are other places to stay at your choice on the cebu fest website: http://hotels.cebufest.com/Place.aspx?languageCode=EN¤cyCode=GBP&destination=airport:Mactan_Cebu_International_Airport_Lapu_Lapu_City&radius=2mi&Rooms=1&adults_1=1&pageSize=25&pageIndex=0&sort=Distance-asc&showSoldOut=true&view=hc_sr_summary&scroll=1833&open=3,2,1,4,7,6&mapstate=contracted
If you are in for fun by the beach jet skiing swimming I'd recommend you visit
Portofino Beach Resort
and Maribago Bluewater Resort
Top for a relaxing accomidation, beautiful scenary and much more! I went on a day out with friends to Portofino Beach Resort took a ride on a jet skii and relax by the beach!
Papa Kits Marina Fishing Lagoon should be on your list of places to see a marina fishing lagoon which is popular for it's zipline,You will have to climb a 4 storey structure and once you get to the top you are attach by a harness onto a zipline where you are flung (hanging) with only a harness holding you across to Silot Bay had a go on it for the first time and it was awesome!
You can fish at the ponds, there are about 4 of them, two of them are for game (meaning you'll have to put them back) and from what I've seen the fishes are big!
Other things to do include a horse ride and visiting the locals on my picture :)
The entrance was a 100 pesos per person, Papa Kits is situated in Liloan Cebu
Liloan is a municipality in the province of Cebu. One of the best known landmarks in Liloan is the lighthouse at Bagacay Point, here original lighthouse was built in 1857 by the Spanish. However, the current tower was built in 1904 by the order of William Howard Taft the first Governor-General of the Philippines and who later became the President of the United States.
In the town of Liloan you can buy food at the local supermarket and also at many stores there, you can also hitch a ride on the jeepney to other places round barangay Liloan and other towns and cities including Mandaue and Cebu City, and take a trycicle (a motorbike with a cab to hold passengers) which can take you to Catarman and Bagacay Point or other places around Liloan at a cheap and affordable price.
Bantayan and Malapascua- Cebu
If you are looking for real beach experience, visit Bantayan Island!
You can go there through Hagnaya Port by ferry where it is around an hour ride to Sta Fe port in Bantayan.
There are buses from Cebu City North Terminal (near SM Mall) costing around 80PHP taking you to the port, it will usually take 3hrs from the city to Hagnaya Port,the cost of the ferry is about 120PHP. The ferry runs all day from 5.30am till around 5.30pm.
If you have a hired car, you can also take it across with the ferry, which would cost you 800PHP
Activities you could do include playing tennis or golf snorkeling scuba diving, you can hire motorcycles or bicycles or a car and driver to Ogtong cave or kayak there!
You are able to arrange trips to Virgin Island (not linked to Richard Branson in any way:D) from your resort, also check out Halantaga-an Island,Silion Island and PouPou Island
As for rooms, you can get rooms for as little as 200PHP per day which is around £3GBP or $4.50USD ideal for a low budget traveller/backpacker!
much more info on Bantayan's official website: http://wowbantayan.com/wowhome/index.php?page=faq-frequently-asked-questions
Another island to visit would be Malapascua an island with beautiful white sands, crystal clear waters bordered by coconut trees and a dozen of scattered native style resorts and buildings including accommodation! it is an island well known for scuba diving, from under the sea you see a beautiful world of wonders!. If you want to stay in Malapascua, you have to spend an evening here and watch the sun set and wake up to a beautiful sunrise, the island compared to Bantayan when I went there was pact with people of all countries and is a top destination, so you wont feel alone, If you fancy island hopping there's plenty of places to stay eat and drink and have a good time, enjoy a drink at the bar and chat with the natives...and the tourists. enjoy a walk around the island it may be small but it's a long way round and worth it! enjoy swimming snorkeling and scuba diving in this great island!
Once you leave the island, it will be in your memory for ever!
Another place I recommend you to visit is Kasai Village in Moal Boal Cebu;http://www.kasaivillage.com/action.php#mountainbiking
it has a range of activities from Climbing,Canyoning,Caving,River Climbing,Horseback Riding, to Mountain Biking,Volcano Expeditions, Motorbike Safari and so much more!
A map below is a map of Cebu showing all towns and cities and places mentioned here and places I haven't mentioned since I haven't been yet, but would love to come back and visit them, and would recommend you check them out too
During my travels across Luzon and Visayas, Cebu was and will always be one of my favourite destinations, and I recommend it for anyone! whether you are a holiday maker, low budget traveller/backpacker want to take your family on holiday somewhere hot and exotic for a few weeks....
I recommend you experience Cebu!

Yes, I'm a bit crazy but one of the things I love most about Christmas time is having the excuse to make and bake a ton of different cookies and sweets. It is one of most favorite traditions that my mom inflicted on me as I grew up. My family and I definitely have our favorites, but I can't help wanting to try new recipes each year to find new family favorites. I hope I'm not going too overboard this year, but I've come up with a pretty big list of cookies and candies to make for Christmas 2011. Hopefully I'll get some of the new recipes up in time for you to try some of them out for Christmas as well.
- Peanut Butter Blossoms
- Holiday Sugar Cookies
- Almond Bark Pretzels (recipe coming soon!)
- Holiday Sandies
- Spritz Cookies
- Starry Peanut Butter Cookies
- Oreo Truffle Balls
- Puppy Chow
New recipes I'm trying out this year:
- Chocolate Mint Pillows
- Chocolate Pretzel Sticks
- Marble Chocolate Treats
- Lemon Lover's Cookies
- Cinnamon-Sugar Sticks
- Chocolate Crinkles
- Gingerbread House
***Note: Please realize that my family does not eat all of the cookies I make every year. I give away about 95% of the cookies on cookie gift plates which is another wonderful tradition that I love doing every year as well.

For the first time in Kazakhstan «Independent Agency for Accreditation and Rating» (IAAR) together with the German «Accreditation, Certification and Quality assurance Institute» (ACQUIN) international specialized reaccreditation of the L.N. Gumilyov Eurasian National University was carried out from 13 to 15 November 2017. Initially, international accreditation of this University was carried out by ACQUIN in 2012.
The IAAR and ACQUIN joint international reaccreditation allowed the experts study in detail and provide collective assessment of thestated educational programs of the L.N. Gumilyov Eurasian National University.
Within the framework of this international project was conducted expert assessment of the educational programs from different education levels: Bachelor, Master and PhD on specialties – «International Relations», «Political Science», «International Law», «Economics», «Management» and «Innovation Management».
A feature of that joint accreditation is that the educational programs of the University have the opportunity to get simultaneously assessment and potential recognition of the two authoritative agencies – IAAR and АСQUIN which are full members of the European Association for Quality Assurance in Higher Education (ENQA) and registered in the European Quality Assurance Register for Higher Education (EQAR).

Hide Forgot
I did a GUI install. I have a rivaTNT based card ( Diamond Viper 550AGP ).
It was recognized as "rivaTNT". After I changed the video memory to
16 MB I clicked on "test". Before the new X server was displayed,
there were some dark vertical lines of different width on a black
background. They also appeared when returning to the anaconda screen.
The anaconda screen was all screwed up ! The standard X11 background
pattern was displayed, but in green/black instead of black/white.
The only other objects on the screen were the pointer and the radio
buttons and the arrows of the NEXT/BACK buttons. No text , no anything.
The buttons were still responding , at least the NEXT and BACK.
At this point I switched to VT1 ; black screen. VT2 also black.
VT7 ( still looking green and bugged ) , back to VT1 , now it's OK.
Then I wen't to VT7 and clicked on BACK until I got to the Timezone
Selection. There by moving the pointer over the world map ( which
was not visible ) caused it to be redrawn , mostly around the green
arrow that is drawn when you move the mouse over the map.
This may be several independent bugs , but I'm filing only one bugzilla
Given how late we are in the development cycle for Winston, I really don't think
we're going to be able to fix a driver issue like this before release. The best
thing we can do is work on it for the next release, or if possible, issue an
errata with a driver fix when it's available.
Still there in RC1
This is certainly an X server issue. Some hardware does not respond to the test
sequence well. We have tested cards based on the same chipset without
experiencing this problem. Its a card by card issue, and can only be addressed
by the X server author.

Helping women and girls in rwanda So before we can talk about wedding toast
etiquette, we need to know what a toast is.A toast is the act of raising a glass
and drinking to honor someone or some thing.To start you offer the proposal of a
toast, and then give the reasoning and the speech behind it. And so it is with
you.You are meant to flourish.And if you give yourself the right conditions, you
will unfurl, surprise and delight yourself.New york plastic surgeons, dr.John

and try it all on. As for the flowers, it will not be hard to Bridesmaid

is when the desired flowers are not in season, thus they may come off as

Now, I've started a new project. I know....what a dummy! I have a million UFOs I could work on, but no, I have to start a new project.
It's gonna be a pretty one and it's one that I've been wanting to do for several years now. I bought it as a kit and I'm really disappointed in the company that assembled it. Very shoddy indeed! If this wasn't so old already, I would return it. Since I can't, I'm going to make it work regardless. It's easy since it's all big pieces just sewn together - once you get them all cut out. Fussy cutting (ugh!) I don't really know why, but I have never loved to fussy cut. I guess it's because I'm fairly frugal and there is so much waste when cutting this way. Of course, those extra pieces won't really go to waste - I'll find a way to use them. :)

Preparing for one of the hardest days but all for good reason and remaining focused for what our ultimate goal is..
July 14th 2016
Big day tomorrow appointment at Tralee general to get some questions answered about why our Isabella's heart condition was not picked up and why does not every pregnant women receive a detailed scan during her pregancy to ensure that if anything is found, proper procedures are put in place. I will not rest until these are answered and I will not stop the fight for the right to ensure all babies are propley screened. I know it will be an emotional day and that's what I am preparing for but I will not rest until I know, no other parent will have to go through what we have and are still going through xx #chdawareness
One of the hardest days of my life to face into the answers we so dearly wanted
July 15th 2016
Today was incredibly hard to walk the corridors I walked before heading to Dublin to be with our daughter, the emotions all came flooding back as I remember feeling so scared getting ready to set off and walk into the unknown. I kept my head held high as I knew I was doing this for a reason and that reason was to gain some closure and raise questions as to why and how her heart condition was not picked up.
I went to this meeting with no feeling of anger but a drive to make change within the maternity unit not just local but now nationwide. In our personal case her heart condition was overlooked, and yes it should have been picked up but there is clearly a lack of resource to do this to every patient who is expecting.
Our personal case is now going to be open for review by the unit and full cooperation with the hospital is very positive, I will be contacting all local TD's along with the Minister of Health to highlight this nationwide issue and address the fact that more funding is needed within maternity units to provide a high standard and to ensure proper screening to all women who are expecting.
I have also raised the issue regarding the lack of communication across all departments which can cause destress to patients such as public health nurses not being notified of death and call to arrange appointments as this happened in our case.
I made a promise that this is our mission to make change and our Isabella's short journey here on earth will help make this happen, she's a true angel, my inspiration, i strongly believe she was brought here to us for a reason and only honoured to be her mother. Love her and miss her so much but know she is always around us xxx #chdawareness #heartmummy#mothertoanangel

Rhetorical Devices in Bill Clinton's Speech at the Democratic Convention. Custom Rhetorical Devices in Bill Clinton's Speech at the Democratic Convention Essay Writing Service || Rhetorical Devices in Bill Clinton's Speech at the Democratic Convention Essay samples, help
A rhetorical device is a type of language that is used by a speaker or a writer, and is intended to have a persuasive effect on an audience. However, it is mostly expected to persuade the audience to look on a particular topic from a different perspective. At the Democratic Convention in 2012, the former President of the United States of America, Bill Clinton, uses various rhetorical devices as he campaigns in support of the current president; Barrack Obama.
To start with, he talks of the policy of "we are in this together is a far better philosophy than you are on your own". This is an example of ANTITHESIS, which is a type of rhetorical device that is known as a slogan. "We are in this together", which means that a group of people is in a problem and all of them are accountable for finding a solution. He uses this device to argue that the problems encountered by the Americans affect all citizens. Moreover, it is the responsibility of every one to work upon the problems facing the Americans. This belief is contrary to the Republicans, who argue that every man is on his or her own. He uses this to attract cohesion among democrats.
Limited time Offer
Secondly, he says "a broken clock is right twice a day." He says this as he tries to show the public how the Republican Party hates President Obama to a point of them being at a constant conflict rather than cooperating to develop America. It is known that a broken clock does not move. The only right time is where the clock stopped working. He argues that for a nation to succeed there has to be cooperation and prolific contribution from every inhabitant of America. He uses the rhetorical device of METHAPHOR to show that a government that is founded on constant conflict is barely right, and that is the type of government that he says that the Republicans are likely to establish.
In addition, he states that the Republicans argue that "we left him a total mess nd he has not cleaned it fast enough, so we take him out" (ANTITHESIS AND ANTISTROPHE). The first hand meaning of this statement is that a mess was left by the Republicans for Barrack Obama to clean. Since he did not clean it fast enough, they argue that he has to be taken out of office. In addition, the statement means that Obama did not achieve what was expected of him. However, President Clinton asserts that no president could have done a better job than that which President Obama and his Administration have done. So he encourages the American people to let Obama finish what he had already started by voting him for a second term.
Moreover, he articulates that "it takes some balls to attack a man for doing what you did." This means that hardly do we see people blaming people for doing what they have done. This is because the Republicans attack Obama about his medical plan, while they have the same plan in their budget. Clinton adds some HUMOR and IRONY to make the message understandable and easy. He uses this to support president Obama by showing that the Republicans will bring harm to the health care system rather than help in improving it.

Moreover, he declares that the Republicans "keep on running heads". This is attributed to show how enthusiastic the Republicans are at spreading the wrong ideas to the public. The meaning of this is not that they are running heads but that they are working hard at changing people's minds on how they perceive President Obama. The Republicans' aim is to take democrats supporters to their camp.
Besides, he says that "I want to nominate a man whose own life has known its own share of adversity and uncertainty." This is an example of tricolon and anaphora. Additionally, he uses ALLITERATION. From this statement, he refers to President Barrack Obama who has had to go through a series of struggles to be successful. This strategy is useful in swaying the public. The public mostly wants a man who understands their troubles and there is no one better suited than the President Barrack Obama.
Clinton says that "democracy does not have to be a blood spot, it can be an honorable enterprise that advances the public interest." This is a device known as ANTITHESIS. He uses this not referring to a spot where blood is spilt, but rather referring to the way Hillary Clinton and President Obama worked. Even though Hillary Clinton ran against the current president in the previous party elections, the President worked with her, and they showed that democracy is having public interest at heart and not serving individual interest. That is, formerly two disagreeing parties can work together for the interest of a nation.
He also uses rhetorical questions when he tells the republicans that they are not going to put the president back on the job. He then asks the public, "Are you ready for that?" This is a RHETORICAL QUESTION. This proves to be particularly helpful since the public reacts tremendously as an indication that they are ready to elect the President for the second term.

He also says that most politicians want the public to believe that they were born in a log cabin and they built themselves. This does not necessarily mean that they were born in log cabins but means that they do not want people to know that they are from backgrounds that are well up. He says this to support Obama, since President Obama has had his struggles and to him, he is the best president for the American people.
He also refers to the ideologies of the Republicans as an "alternative universe". This METAPHOR is used to refer to the Republicans' ideas as not being suitable for people. From his point of approach, they should not be applied in America. If the Republicans take power, things will not run according the expectations of the people.

JOHN O'Shea is on his way to becoming a legend for Manchester United and Ireland - if he gets a bit nastier!
That was the advice from Paul McGrath, a man who has already earned that tag for club and country, and who O'Shea freely admits basing his own game on.
And McGrath, who went from solid, cultured defender to imposing midfielder for the Reds in the 80s, believes O'Shea could eventually take the same route.
Manager Sir Alex Ferguson has already experimented with O'Shea in the centre of the park, the young Irishman impressing there during the Worthington Cup win at Burnley in December.
And McGrath, like Fergie, feels O'Shea could become a skilled midfield enforcer in the mould of himself and another Irish star, Roy Keane.
"John is so sure-footed that he wouldn't look out of place in midfield, and being a big man he should be able to put himself about a bit," said McGrath.
"The only thing I haven't seen John do is start hammering into a few people, and being the size he is, it is something I would like to see him start doing soon.
"I want to see him show he is not afraid of anyone. But he has tremendous skill too."
O'Shea has played right across the back four with tremendous success this season, as well as trying out a midfield role - but McGrath feels that in the near future he will be able to take his pick of positions.
"John's best position is all over the park. The only thing I would worry about is that he might get classed as a utility player," he adds.
"But I think he is so good in all positions that he deserves to own his own position.
"With the ability he has, I can see a day in the future where Alex will be asking him: `Where do you fancy playing today?' and John will have his pick! Personally I would like to see him as a centre half - he is a big, strong lad but so commanding and cool on the ball.
"His only problem at the moment is that because he can step into any position, there could be a temptation to put him on the bench to cover for various players."
McGrath can see his young successor emulating him for Ireland as well, and admits he was surprised that the lad from Waterford was not taken to the World Cup in the summer.
"Although he had only played three or four games for Ireland at that stage, he had not put a foot wrong, and the defence is an area that, while not weak, needs strengthening for Ireland," he said.
"But John can go on to do whatever he wants - he will make that Ireland position his own."

I Am Offering Me
I have a river,
And it is cleaving its way
From Me to you,
I have an ocean
And it is lapping on your shore,
Surrounding you with My mercy
And the richness of My generosity,
I have a sky
And it shelters you,
And when it rains,
Beauty blooms in your earth,
Knowledge flowers in your garden
And you are dressed in Adab,
I have Me,
And I am the Unique One
Beyond your idea of uniqueness,
Incomparable am I
Beyond your little idea of comparisons,
And I offer Myself to you.
Lo, o' inventors amongst you mortals!
Who of you have offered yourselves
To that which you have created?!
None but Me! None but Me!
All praise to Me! All love to Me!
For I am the One who returns
What His creation gives
In infinite numbers
And in infinite ways!
How can you despair?
O' my servants,
Scarcity. In economics, we are taught that scarcity equals value. And the more scarce the resource the more valuable and desirable it becomes. Thus a grain of rice is more valuable than a blade of grass. Emerald is more desirable than turquoise. And copper is more valuable than iron.
Demand. And a resource becomes of greater value if it can be put to some useful use. And this happens as Mankind's knowledge of its elements and utility grows. Thus even a grain of sand of little worth suddenly becomes valuable to make glass and in the manufacturing of silicon chips, and even in the reclamation of land from the sea.
Multiples. But everything in Creation is created in multiples, as a sign of divine generosity. Gold is scarce but there is gold still to be mined. Oil is scarce but there is still oil yet to be discovered. Even the Sun, which some pagans used to believe to be only one, is now known to be just a medium-size star of a rather small solar system in a galaxy among billions of galaxies. The richness of the Creator, and His unstinting generosity is apparent for those who would contemplate.
Left to our own devices, we could already be immensely happy with the fruits of the universe. But God is not just offering the Sun, the Earth, the sea and all their provisions to humanity...
The Heavens. Above all the mortal creation of this world, God has also promised the hereafter with its eternal heavens and angels and divine gardens of pleasure. Unimaginable palaces and rivers of milk and honey coursing through the trees of light and fountains of holy compassion. But wait. God is not done yet.
Me. For God is offering God to you, His very Self to His beloved creation. The Unique One to be known. The Absolute One to be understood, to be praised and to be worshiped. It is to Him that all analogies, metaphors and parables of life would lead the seeker towards. And it is cast in a net of infinite compassion, in a sea of infinite mercy... drawn through the divine veil as how the Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.s) on the his night journey of al-Isra' wal-Mi'raj left the arch-Angel Gabriel and passed from even the vision of the arch-angels themselves into the divine presence of God.
Thus, what ails you o' humanity? What fear do you hide in the well of your spirit when the only fear you must feel is to become cold and indifferent to Love. For above all else, God is ever speaking to us in the Language of Love. This is self-evident.
So do not despair, sunshine. Believe.
wa min Allah at-taufiq
Hate has no place in Islam
Love will show the Way

COLUMBUS, Ohio – Shelby McCombs provided the pitching. Ashley Goodwin, Anna Kirk and Becca Gavin took care of the run support. Over 1,800 fans chipped in with another record-setting crowd and memorable atmosphere. It all added up to a 5-0 shutout win for the 21st-ranked Buckeyes (23-9, 7-2) over No. 16 Michigan (28-8-1, 8-1) on Sunday.
McCombs' masterpiece was highlighted by 10 strikeouts over seven innings as she continually held one of the best offensive teams in the conference at bay, allowing just three singles while walking only one. At the plate, the Buckeyes' offense was able to chase UM pitcher Megan Betsa out of the game in the fifth inning as the Scarlet and Gray received a solo home run Kirk in the third and a back-breaking three-run shot from Goodwin in the fifth. Ohio State's win snapped Michigan's 14-game winning streak and was the most earned runs Betsa has given up since a 6-4 loss to Notre Dame earlier in February.
McCombs allowed just one base runner over the first three innings of the game and then got what proved to be the only run that she'd need in the bottom of the third when Kirk belted a 1-2 offering Betsa over the center field wall. It was Kirk's fifth homer of the season and her 17th RBI.
Even with the slimiest of leads, McCombs was able to work her way through the Michigan order in the top of the fourth. The Wolverines finally got their first hit on a two-out single to center by Aidan Falk and after the next batter was hit, UM was threatening with two on and two out. A strikeout looking to Abby Ramirez ended the threat and brought the record-breaking crowd of 1,836 to its feet.
Michigan went quietly in the top of the fifth, setting the stage for a four-run rally for the Buckeyes in the home half. It started with a Lilli Piper single through the ride side, at which point Betsa walked Clark (it was the second walk on the afternoon for Clark, who was also intentionally walked in the third). The next batter, Taylor White, struck out, but Gavin extended the inning with a key single to right field, allowing Piper to score and Clark to end up at third. Goodwin then delivered the dagger, a towering home run to left field on a 3-2 pitch that made the score 5-0.
Michigan had a base runner in the sixth inning but a fly out, ground out and key strikeout ended that threat. In the seventh, the Wolverines loaded the bases with two outs, but Faith Caifield grounded into a game-ending fielder's choice.
McCombs: 7.0 IP, 10 Ks, three hits allowed, one walk
Goodwin: 2-3, 3-R HR, 3 RBI
Clark: 1-1, 2 BB, 1 RS
For the second time in 24 hours, Buckeye Field saw a record crowd come through the gates. Today, 1,836 filled the stadium, topping yesterday's mark of 1,764. Overall, the three game-attendance of 4,979 is also a series record. The Buckeyes have already surpassed the 1,000 mark four times this season.
The complete game shutout was Ohio State's ninth on the season and the first of the year for McCombs. She is 4-0 this spring with a 1.66 ERA in 33.2 innings. On the weekend, McCombs struck out 16 batters over 12.0 innings while allowing just two earned runs.
Ohio State pitchers allowed just six extra base hits in 21 innings this weekend and none of Sunday.
Piper has now recorded at least one hit in 10 of her last 11 games.
The win over Michigan is Ohio State's first over the Maze and Blue since April of 2010 and snaps the Wolverines' 25-game Big Ten regular season win streak.
The Buckeyes' hit five home runs this weekend to up their conference-leading total to 42. Ten of the last 16 that have left the park have come with runners on base.
Four of the five runs that crossed the plate today for Ohio State came with two outs. For the season, 96 of the 187 runs batted in have come with two outs (51.3 percent).
Ohio State travels to State College, Pa. to take on Penn State on Wednesday in a mid-week doubleheader. The game will be broadcast live on BTN Plus and a link to live stats can be found on the schedule page of OhioStateBuckeyes.com.

Session Detail
Wednesday, October 10, 2018 | 9:45 AM - 10:45 AM
Open to Conference Attendees Only
Relocation is Transformation - Don't Survive Your Move, Thrive In It
President & CEO, Carter Inc.
Partner, Organizational Development & Effectiveness Lead, Coetic
, Carter, Inc.
Chief Operating Officer, Children's Hospital of Wisconsin, Executive Vice President, Children's Hospital and Health System
Director, Transition Planning, Carter, Inc.
This session is about how to manage organizational change that must occur when a healthcare facility moves, expands, renovates or re-stacks. New healthcare facilities are accompanied by significant changes in the way day-to-day administration, building operations and especially patient care services are conducted and provided. Commonly, these changes cause angst among the care providers and support staff. A program of change management and communications must be implemented to address the social and emotional changes in addition to those within the environment of care. Exacerbating this problem is the common failure to integrate the activities of designing, building, and outfitting the new building (building readiness) with the activities surrounding operational and transition planning (operational readiness).
The problems of change management, communications, and project integration must be identified and solved to ensure successful healthcare real estate projects. Our session panel would like to share our experience in providing solutions within this arena.
We will present best practices regarding:
- The philosophy behind the structuring of the project organization that will effectively integrate building and operational readiness planning and management
- How to develop and execute a change management process that will assist providers and staff to navigate smoothly through the transition to a new environment and catalyze an improved culture of care
- How to develop and implement a communications program that will effectively support change, assist in the integration of building and operational readiness, and provide a platform for giving voice to the organizational aspirations that compelled the move to new facilities
1. To understand the relocation, expansion or renovation of a hospital or healthcare facility can be a true opportunity to change the culture of care.
2. To understand the importance of integrating operational and building readiness and how to establish an organizational structure that will ensure this integration.
3. To understand the importance of a substantive change management and communications program to the success of a relocation or other significant building project.
4. To better perceive the connection between staff satisfaction and patient satisfaction in the context of a relocation.

I feel like right now I'm just treading the line, in the aspect of living my life with God.
Some days I'm praying constantly to God, listening to Him and just doing what I think His will is, loving His people the way I think He wants me to. Some days not so much, some days I even have the audacity to feel/assume that I can live without God for that couple of hours.
I forget that God's the reason for my existence at all.
It seems like I'm on the edge of something. I see the glory of God waiting for me to receive it. Somehow I'm peering over the edge, staring into that fullness of His majesty that's to be revealed, eyes glistening like those of a kid staring through the glass display of a candy store.
I don't quite know how to get there. I don't know if it's my time to fall over the edge. Am I to be nudged over the edge, or am I to jump off? I don't know how to get there.
But till that time comes when the next step is revealed to me, I shall cry out:
Every part of my world
Take this life and breathe on
This heart that is now YoursOh the joy I've found
Surrendering my crowns
At the feet of the King
Who surrendered everything
Oh the peace that comes
When I'm broken and undone
By Your unfailing grace
I can lift my voice and say
You can have it all, Lord
Every part of my world
Take this life and breathe on
This heart that is now Yours
There is no greater call
Than giving You my all
I lay it all down
I lay it all down
There is no greater love
No higher name above
I lay it all down
I lay it all down
You can have it all, Lord
Every part of my world
Take this life and breathe on
This heart that is now Yours
Father. Abba Father. I need to need You more than ever before. I know that I'm only on the edge of that fullness of the Spirit You have intended for me to receive, so Father I'm crying out with all my heart 'more Lord, more!'
This much, O Lord, I want You. Ignite my heart with Your passion once again. I'm pressing on with Your faith to receive that greater measure which You have promised unto Your sons and daughters.
May the name of the Lord be praised forever. I love You Lord, Abba. My Father and my friend.
Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth.
Worship the Lord with gladness;
come before him with joyful songs.
Know that the Lord is God.
It is he who made us, and we are his;
we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.
Enter his gates with thanksgiving
and his courts with praise;
give thanks to him and praise his name.
For the Lord is good and his love endures forever;
his faithfulness continues through all generations.

PITTSBURGH, PA – April 2, 2013 – Cohen & Grigsby, a business law firm with headquarters in Pittsburgh, PA and an office in Naples, FL, is pleased to announce that Naples-based attorney Christopher N. Davies will offer his perspective on how emotional support animals can present new challenges for condominium associations during a live and webcast presentation on April 5, 2013. Presented by The Florida Bar Continuing Legal Education Committee and the Real Property, Probate & Trust Law Section, "Community Association Law—The New Normal" will be held from 8 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. at the Hyatt Regency Orlando Airport in Orlando, FL.
Davies will join two other area attorneys to present "Fair Housing Laws and Emotional Support Animals — Lions, Tigers, and Bears, Oh My!" from 11:20 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. During the discussion, Davies will share insights about the Fair Housing Amendments Act and how landlords are required to make reasonable accommodations for tenants with disabilities who also have emotional support animals.
Davies is a partner in Cohen & Grigsby's Real Estate Practice Group, where he focuses on condominium and homeowner association law in Lee and Collier Counties, FL. In addition to his role with the Committee on Condominiums and Planned Development, Davies is a member of the Real Property Section of The Florida Bar and the Collier County Bar Association.
A native of the United Kingdom, Davies graduated with a joint honors degree in law and industrial relations from the University of Wales. He is also a graduate of the Tulane University School of Law, where he earned both his Juris Doctorate and Master of Laws degrees.
Davies was admitted to the Florida Bar in 1984 and is a member of the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit and the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida. He was appointed to the Florida Condominium Study Commission by Florida Governor Bob Martinez in 1990 and worked on the extensive revisions to the condominium laws. Davies has served as a member of the faculty of the University of Miami Law Center Institute on Condominium and Cluster Developments. He is also a former member of the Community Associations Institute Board of Trustees and a past chairman of the institute's national Attorney's Committee and Public Policy Committee.
He is also a contributory author to The Florida Bar's treatise, Florida Condominium Law and Practice, Second Edition, where he co-authored the chapter on The Division of Florida Land Sales, Condominiums and Mobile Homes. Davies frequently lectures on critical issues involving condominium and homeowner association law.

wordless sunday - black and white
7 comments:
Definitely the first one for me - I think it's the delightful contrast of all the straight lines - fences, buildings and cranes versus the opposite -the graffiti and fluffy clouds that makes this a brilliant pic!ReplyDelete
Such contrasting images from reality to a world of fantasy, but it's the first one that really captivates me and holds my eye longer. The clouds are so full of motion, whilst the cranes stand still, strong and symbolic of a changing landscape. Really love the first shot. Brilliant!ReplyDelete
Great photo's - 1st one is my fav... probably because I drive by those cranes a number of times a week and this show's them in such a different way!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJuly 10, 2011 at 2:50 AM
I love the chandilers! So full of drama.ReplyDelete
I'm with Helen--the chandeliers are my fav. The first pic is great too though--awesome clouds!ReplyDelete
Oh wow - how well have you done! I think the first one is my fav - so many different contrastings. I love the look of graffiti in black and white and the clouds in that shot look incredible!ReplyDelete
I like the chandeliers - I like the round shapes in the ceiling and in the acutal chandeliers, and the lightness of the picture - very nice =)ReplyDelete

- The Value of Waste

- Additional Information
This paper argues that a first step in finding a sustainable solution for the pressing global issue of 'waste', is to consider waste a value attribution rather than a material condition. Doing so means a shift in focus from finding more efficient ways to 'clean up the mess' to changing the way in which value is attributed to things. The paper looks at a selection of recent literature on value systems to identify useful concepts and theory for a value-based solution to waste and proposes to probe such potential solutions through art and design.

Japanese Restaurants Charlottesville
Japanese cuisine has been touted as one of the healthiest globally, a claim supported by the fact that some of the oldest living individuals in the world hailing from Japan. Because of a deeply-rooted historical aversion to meat, with the exception of wild game, the most common ingredients used in Japanese cooking include rice, fish, tofu and vegetables combined in a carefully prepared meal of balanced colors and flavors. Most Charlottesville Japanese restaurants offer a sumptuous array of fresh sashimi and sushi dipped into a typical sauce of soy and red-hot wasabi, alongside platters of pickled vegetables, a bowl of steamed rice and miso soup. Foreign influences, both Asian and Western, have brought about other popular dishes such as the hearty ramen, crunchy tonkatsu, and deep-fried tempura. As in most major cities, Charlottesville features several restaurants that offer authentic Japanese fare.

Ivory-billed Woodpecker
Ivory-billed Woodpecker
13" x 6" x 9"
mixed media, hand painted, sewn and beaded leather, seated on wooden chair
The two largest species of woodpeckers in the world, Imperial Woodpecker (20% larger than the Ivory-billed Woodpecker) are both all but extinct. The Imperial has not been definitively sighted since 1956 in its historic range, the Sierra Madres of northwestern Mexico. Logging of dead trees that host the beetles which are its primary food source and hunting have wiped out this majestic woodpecker. The Ivory-billed Woodpecker's tale could be just as tragic.
Ivory-billed Woodpecker
Campephilus principalis
CR ( critically endangered)
The Ivory-billed Woodpecker, two feet long from beak to tail, has a wingspan of two and one half feet. Its bill ( three inches long and one inch wide at the base), is used to scale bark off of freshly dead mature trees, with trunks up to three feet in diameter, in search of beetle grubs, their primary food source. This gigantic bill is also a tool used to excavate holes for nesting and roosting within these tree trunks. Ivory-billed Woodpecker's diet also consisted of persimmons, wild grapes, seeds from poison ivy and magnolia, and various berries. They are thought to pair for life and female will lay between one to four white eggs a year.
Once the Ivory-billed Woodpecker could call home million and millions of acres of pristine bottomland hardwood forests within the Mississippi River Valley, vast swamps and river bottomland forests that stretched across the southern states down into Florida, as far west as eastern Texas and northward into the boot heel of Missouri, then eastward across southern Illinois, southern Indiana, and southern Ohio. The hardwood forests of Cuba were ( and possibly still are) the only other place in the world that the Ivory-billed Woodpecker inhabited.
Of that vast contiguous forest across the southern United States only small scattered pockets of timber remain. Tiny sanctuaries possibly too tiny to sustain the feeding requirements of this large bird. Timber and agricultural industries still threaten the existence of their compromised range.
If the Ivory-billed Woodpecker is extant and has adapted to these isolated habitats, we humans have been given a second chance at saving this species from extinction. Sightings of one woodpecker were made in February 2004 and October 2005 in eastern Arkansas. Intensive survey teams have scoured the Big Woods area, part of which is located in the White River National Wildlife Refuge, looking for the bird or signs of a nesting tree. Searches are also being conducted in the remaining forested mountains of Cuba where suitable habitat remains. The last confirmed sighting of an Ivory-billed Woodpecker in eastern Cuba was in 1987.
I highly recommend reading The Race To Save The Lord God Bird by Phillip Hoose from cover to cover.

concept of Yin and Yang is one of the most fundamental
and profound theories of Feng Shui. It is the Chinese
perspective of balance and continual change. Many
Feng Shui practitioners claim they have a deep understanding
of this concept, yet some of them have difficulty with representing the image
correctly. In fact, this is a good indicator of the
depth of knowledge a "master" possesses. Many
times these practitioners call themselves masters, yet
their printed materials contain an incorrect Tai-ji (The
name for the Yin and Yang circle) representation. How
can one call themselves a master of Feng Shui and not even
understand the basics of this deep and extremely significant
Yin and Yang is a foundation theory for
Feng Shui that supports many other theories including the
Five Elements theory and the Environment. Hopefully by
reading this, you will be better informed on what Yin/Yang
theory is in Feng Shui.
and Yang are dependent opposites that must always be
in balance. The opposites flow in a natural cycle always
replacing the other. Just as the seasons cycle and create
a time of heat and cold, Yin and Yang cycles through
active and passive, dark and light, etc. Yin and
Yang evolved from a belief of mutually dependant opposites
that cannot live without the other. The Eastern
view of opposites is, if you will excuse the pun, opposite
of a Western view.
in the West tend to look as things as black "or" white,
right "or" wrong, etc. There is separation
and unrelatedness in the Western perspective. Whereas,
the Chinese view opposites as evolving and cycling. There
is neither right or wrong, but rather there is balance,
transformation, interaction, and dependent opposition. We
need both to maintain a balance.
and Yang can further be explained as a duality that cannot
exist without both parts. The chart below shows some
of the many opposites that are contained in such a simple
the Yellow Turban rebellion (184 A.D.), the Han
dynasty emperors commissioned scholars to re-examine
the ancient texts. The principles of which Dong Zhongshui
(?179-104 B.C.) and others interpreted the ancient texts
were derived from the early philosophy of nature, the
complementary alternating forces of Yin and Yang, dark
and light, female and male, which maintain the balance
of the cosmos, and which had been a thought pattern of
the Chinese before any philosophical schools came into
being. Meaning, that Feng Shui and Yin and Yang
concepts were evolving from cosmological and environmental
sciences before Daoists philosophy adopted it. Many people
believe that it was a Daoist invention.
Within Yang, there is a small piece of Yin. Within Yin, there is a
small piece of Yang. Just as in the heart of winter, a seed
lays in wait to become life, so is Yang waited within Yin for its
turn. In a hot summer, a sudden desert storm can bring coolness.
This too is an example of how Yin is found in Yang. Again,
there are no absolutes, just cycles in time.
Understanding a small piece of the true nature of the Tai Chi symbol
These Han dynasty scholars examined the ancient texts and discovered
that their forebearers already had a logical and cyclical explanation
for the Yin and Yang beyond the morality and philosophy. The first
initial observations were of the changes of the seasons. Then
expanding these observations the directions were explained. Then
cycles in nature were further explained as the cycle of the Five
From a solar perspective, the Sun rises in the East, reaches its peak
overhead and sets in the West, then the symbology of the Tai-ji
can be represented as right. Furthering that; Spring gives way
to new wood, Summer brings fire and heat, Autumn cools like metal,
and lastly snow (frozen water) brings the coldest time or Winter.
It can also be seen that heat rises and coolness settles.
From a directional perspective, in the Northern Hemisphere (and from
a Chinese perspective) the hottest direction is the South and the coldest
is the North. Meanwhile all of this occurs with Earth being the center
elemental perspective is a productive cycle of five
elements. Creating this productive cycle of
elements we see that:
• Wood burns producing Fire.
• Fire leaves behind Earth.
• Earth is the source of Metal.
• Metal liquefies into flowing liquid like Water (or another explanation
is that Metal when cooled it creates condensation, such as a car left out on
a cool night).
• Water then becomes the nourishment for the Wood.
Now you see that there is a lot of depth and meaning to this simple

Approach and offerings
It's all about context, content and connections.
With 20 years of experience working with IBM, GE, Lowe's Home Improvement and other world-leading brands, we know how to craft strategic content plans for intricate buying processes. We're experts in telling complex stories beautifully. And we understand that unless content and experiences drive engagement, leads and —ultimately—sales, then marketing has failed.
Our Approach and offerings are built around:
Understanding context – through an intrinsic understanding of your goals, your brand, your audience and the value they crave.
Crafting accountable, creative content and experiences that will engage and provoke. It's an ecosystem of content in the channels your audience prefers.
And continually improving the connections that are made through data and insights sparked by your makerting actions in near real time.
Each Marketing Challenge is Unique.
That understanding of context, content and connections are the foundational blocks of Agile Marketing Frameworks, tuned to the specific challenge you're facing. And the Framework, in turn, allows us to partner with our clients to create and place strategic, value-laden content and experiences.
But the exact mix of specific tactics, deliverables and actions of each solution will be unique. Those capabilities and services collect under three interconnected intentions: Strategic Thinking; Creation, Placement and Action; and Applied Knowledge.
Strategic Thinking
Marketing strategy is more than a noun...more than a guidebook. It's a verb. It's action-oriented thinking about the market opportunity and your audience. It permeates every step of the marketing process.
Solutions to unique marketing challenges require an ability to mix and match the right skills and actions...to navigate unknown situations through expertise and proven process.
We dedicate ourselves to becoming experts on your market landscape, your audience and the channels they prefer, your business goals and much more. But we go beyond simply documenting the information and creating a road map. This information is imbued in all our content creators' work; and is questioned and checked at every point in the implementation process.
Strategic Thinking
Answers the Questions:
- Who are you trying to reach?
- How will you reach & influence them?
- What is the holistic marketing plan?
- Audience Research & Persona Development
- Messaging & Positioning
- Channel & Engagement Planning
Creation, Placement & Action
Marketing may now be content-centric, but simply creating content is never the final act of marketing. Placed content—on owned, social and paid channels—becomes the central point of an ongoing experience. One in which both brand and audience are active participants, responding to and adding to the ecosystem.
After we've internalized every critical aspect of your business, we set about producing high-quality, context driven content that educates and persuades your audience on the right channels.
We create an ecosystem of content for your business that's informed by the mindset of your audience. We simplify complex information through impactful storytelling. We're experts at copywriting, video and film production, motion graphics design, mobile and web design and development, social media planning and design and much more.
Creation, Placement & Action
Answers the Questions:
- What's the message?
- What's the vehicle?
- How do we engage with audiences?
- Creative Concepting & Storyline Development
- Animation & Motion Graphic Design
- Social Media Management
Applied Knowledge
We view marketing as market research. Resulting actions and reactions to your content are the keys to incrementally better marketing and engagement over time.
Collecting data to measure your marketing isn't enough. You must collect the data with intent – to understand both what worked (or didn't) and why. It is a process of collecting, analyzing, uncovering insights, and taking rapid action.
With every marketing endeavor, we create a measurement plan that will allow us to measure efficacy in relation to real business goals. But it also allows us to use collected information — like how and when people share — to revise our understanding of our audience, the channels in play, and the messages that are resonating most.
Applied Knowledge
Answers the Questions:
- What are the KPIs?
- What are the outcomes?
- What did we learn?
- Campaign monitoring & iteration
- Website & Content Analysis
- Paid Media Management

You know about Game Connection? You pay a few thousand bucks and you get a serious meeting with a game publisher at GDC.
It is wrong - bad, evil, corrupt.
How shall I explain?...
You know those classified ads you might see for actors, or book writers or whatever, where the person would go in and the agent would look at them and then say, "You know what? I think you have talent. I think you're special. I don't see people like you come in every day. So I'm gonna represent you. However, I need you to pay a fee to me to rep you? This is to cover photos, expenses [blah blah blah]."
You know what places like the Actors Guild or the Writers Guild would say about those joints. They're a rip off! Why? Because anyone who believes you really have a chance will take a percentage of what you make (traditionally that's 10 percent). If they ask for ANYTHING up front, it's a rip off! Because they are selling you out. They're using you.
Well, here is this Game Connection thing, and it acts just like that... Just like the proverbial crooked agent - taking the money of the naive who flock like the proverbial chickens to the slaughter.
Get real Game Connection. If you want to facilitate the bringing of new properties to publishers BECOME A FUCKING AGENT and have some balls! Stop selling out from Second One.
(Or am I asking too much from people in games in general? That they believe in something other than power, technology and money - selling games with the attitude of a drug pusher. That they be something other than amoral in a headlong race to the bottom?)

Deathwish 2013
Do you know how I know I'm a badass (or certifiably insane)? I dropped into that wave while sandwiched by two—count 'em, two—SUPs. It wasn't the smartest thing I've ever done in the water.
Our team ended up winning first place for the "Most Waves" category during the Sunday running of the Rincon Invitational. The wave wasn't pumping by any means. I still got mine though.
I've said it before: "When in Greenough country, ride your mat." And that I did.

One of the most common types of VAT fraud is 'missing trader' fraud, which occurs when an individual sells goods to a third party, charges VAT and then either disappears or deliberately takes their company into administration before paying over their VAT liabilities.
More cases of this type have been brought by HMRC recently, as part of its crackdown on fraudulent activity.
A recent example is the recent conviction of four men who had been involved in a fraud relating to the importation of mobile phone and computer chips from Europe and the United States. According to HMRC, the fraud worked by selling the phones and chips in the UK along a contrived supply chain before the company exported the goods to Switzerland or Dubai. The traders at the start of the chain meanwhile – which were in some cases set up purely to commit the fraud – invariably failed to pay the VAT they had charged on the original supply.
HMRC investigators shut down the multi-million pound fraud, after stopping attempts to claim VAT repayments worth over £18 million.
Two of the company's directors, its company secretary and one of its employees were recently convicted of cheating the public revenue following a trial at Kingston Crown Court. Three of the defendants were also found guilty of one money laundering offence.
