It started as a fake movie poster idea in the Samuel Ayer High School commercial arts class taught by Robert Burrill, the gag being the monster came from the rapidly expanding landfills south of town. Milpitas was already something of a laughingstock -- including constant teases from Bob Wilkins on Creature Features -- and only became more so as the garbage smell permeated the town. My high school in Fresno (also quite the laughingstock) was downwind from a rendering plant, so I can relate.

A Cinematic Turkey on Several Levels: 1972's Blood Freak
The poster inspired a 10-minute short film, and with the cooperation of the whole town -- seemingly every business in Milpitas is thanked at the end -- it was expanded into a $7,000 feature film. Even in 1974-dollars that's not a whole heck of a lot. The Milpitas Monster definitely looks cheaper than the $51,000 Nightmare in Blood, but makes up for it by being much more fun.
That aforementioned cheapness aside, I should mention right off the bat that my particular copy (retitled The Mutant Beast) of the film is really lousy, and the official DVD offers the film in much better quality, and you should buy it.
Narrated by the golden-voiced Paul Frees (the Bay Area filmmaker's best friend, who also went on to narrate Hardware Wars), the film opens with a tongue-in-cheek history of Milpitas.
The monster, who has a thing for garbage cans, appears early and often.
The Milpitas Monster uses every trick in the low-budget monster book, including many simple, in-camera optical effects, like this overturned truck using forced perspective. Fakey? Sure, but even though it's a cut-out, at least there's something there, which beats the nothing of modern CGI. (Also, get off my lawn!)
Man oh man, there's a lot going on in these next two minutes. The monster attacks via a combination of sound effects, editing, close-ups of the monster suit, and stop motion (which bears no resemblance to the suit, only adding to the charm). Also, there's a guy who looks just like Lee Marvin in Paint Your Wagon, but more important are the antics of the film's true hero: The town drunk, who is clearly a young version of Red Letter Media's Mr. Plinkett.
The monster destroys Kozy Kitchen as Mr. Plinkett heckles him.
Creature Features cameo time: The city fathers try to figure out how to defeat the monster, with help from none other than Bob Wilkins! Here he plays head of the U.S. Pollution Control Board, who of course has a hacking cough from chain-smoking cigars. Wilkins himself was known for his cigars, but the smoking and coughing is no doubt trenchant social commentary. (He also sounds like David Lynch's hard-of-hearing character on Twin Peaks, Gordon Cole.)
Still, as great as Wilkins' coughing is, it just can't hold a lighter to the coughing fit experienced by the chain-smoking narrator of Blood Freak after he lectures us on the dangers of chemicals. And now that I'm thinking about it, I have to watch it.
It's not easy to make a low-budget monster movie without filler -- those 80 minutes aren't going to fill themselves -- and like the A.I.P. movies it emulates, much of The Milpitas Monster is taken up with the adventures of the local teenyboppers, including the Good Girl, the Good Boy, and the Wild Boys. In this scene at a high school dance, itself a time capsule of fashions and the local music scene, the Wild Boys torment Mr. Plinkett. (Lest you think dickish teenage boys being cruel to the less fortunate started with Bumfights.)
In the end, the monster is defeated (or is it?), Mr. Plinkett stumbles off into the sunset, and the very catchy theme song is heard over the credits. And if you didn't believe me about the whole town pitching in, check out the thank you list from 0:56 to 1:32.
This compilation includes the trailer, which gives a better sense of what the film looks like when it's shown properly, as well as the many shout-outs the film received on Creature
Feathers Features.

Dealing with depression in college is a serious and important issue all around the world, but still, it's not an undoable task to diagnose and effectively treat it.
College can be one of the most exciting times in an individual's life that can open doors to new opportunities, prepare for a future career and help to experience life in a new way.
But at the same time it can also be a very challenging time for students. Indeed, college brings some new challenges as well, such as dealing with depression in college.
It can happen because of leaving home for the first time, forming new relationships, learning to live independently and because of many other factors that can be overwhelming for many students.
But the good news is that depression can be effectively diagnosed and treated, moreover the treatment is the most successful when started at a younger age. So, without further ado, let's dig into the topic of dealing with depression in college and find the reasons, solutions and how to fight with it in college.
Dealing with depression in college: How common is that?
It may be surprising for some people but dealing with depression in college is a popular problem. In fact, thousands of college students may feel so sad, anxious, lonely, isolated and overwhelmed right at the time you are reading this. Those types of strong and intense feelings can have serious consequences, especially, when they persist for a long period of time.
Being depressed in college can lead to such serious problems as getting lower grades, experiencing physical health problems, missing out on big social opportunities or being engaged in risky behavior such as drug abuse or extreme drinking. In some cases, suicide is another potential outcome for a college student.
But first, let's talk about some facts and statistics of college depression. Even though the rates of depression among college students may vary, one thing that is clear is that serious mental health issues play a major role in many students' lives.
As it has been found, mental health problems first start to appear during the traditional college ages of 18 to 24. In one survey of an American college, almost 10% of students said that they frequently felt depressed.
Furthermore, in another annual survey in the U.S., 14.5% of them said that they had been diagnosed with depression and more than 35% of them said that they felt so depressed that it was hard to function.
Dealing with depression in college: College suicide rates
Sadly, depression in college leads some students to commit suicide. Since college suicides are usually treated by investigators as criminal matters, information about the highest suicide rates is often hard to get.
Nonetheless, each year, over 1,000 suicides occur in American colleges. Among the U.S. population, suicide is the 10th leading cause of death, whereas it is the third one among Americans between the ages of 15 and 24.
Approximately 1% of full-time college students between the ages of 18 and 22 have attempted suicide and about 2.5 % of them have made plans to realize suicide.
Is there a dual burden for girls while dealing with depression in college?
In addition to all of the negative factors that entering a college can cause, sometimes girls face some additional challenges than boys, such as time management, homesickness, some conflicts with classmates and roommates and relationship problems.
Though choosing a major is a tough question for both boys and girls, there is even more pressure to choose a major for girls. It's not surprising, as choosing a major determines the future career of girls and how much money they will be able to earn in this "men's world". So, this means that making the right decision is not only extremely important but also quite stressful.
If you feel that you are in this kind of situation then down below you can find some helpful tips to overcome depression. No one should fight it alone. Even if your continuous sadness does not turn out to be serious, the best thing to do is to get yourself checked out.
Depression is a serious problem and if it's not treated well it can affect not only your social but also emotional life. If you're feeling blue and that process lasts more than two weeks, here are some tips on how to fight and overcome depression.
What are the college depression symptoms for boys and girls?
After all, what are the typical signs and symptoms of depression among college students? There are symptoms that are common for both girls and boys.
Generally speaking, those kinds of symptoms must last more than just a few days and interfere with some of students' normal activities in order to be considered depression. Some of the most common symptoms of college depressed include:
- Constantly feeling sad, empty, pessimistic, hopeless, anxious or unhappy
- Experiencing changes in weight or appetite
- Having trouble sleeping or, vice versa, sleeping too much
- Losing interest in some kind of activities that the student normally enjoys
- Persistently feeling guilty, worthless, annoyed, frustrated or restless even over small issues
- Doing everything more slowly and having some troubles while making decisions
- Being easily distracted and feeling extremely tired or weak
- Having difficulties while trying to remembering things
- Experiencing headaches and other physical problems
- Crying without any reason
- Frequently thinking about death and harming themselves
It's also important to note that the boys and girls might only experience some of the symptoms listed above.
Tips on dealing with college depression #1: Get support from family and friends
Probably one of the most important, yet difficult steps is to develop a support system. Some students just don't want to admit they're feeling depressed, but opening up to your family members or friends is the key to recovery.
Having someone to confide can be really helpful and recovering. Even though during the depression it seems as if no one cares about you, but in fact reaching out to these people is essential to getting better. So, try to stay in touch with them as those bonds are important first of all for you.
Tips on dealing with college depression #2: Get to know your school's options
Many colleges have mental health centers and have orientation days that help students become accustomed to their new surroundings. So, figure out what they have to offer you.
It is extremely helpful to organize your own orientation ahead of time so that you will become familiar with your new place that feels already comfortable. Such activities as, visiting the campus multiple times, finding faculty members to talk to, getting a feel for where students like to hang out and what activities are popular will be really accommodating.
Tips on dealing with college depression #3: Take the ownership of your recovery
Don't ignore your troubling feelings and take charge of your recovery. This is another significant step that you must understand and realize. When you're busy going to class and completing assignments, it's quite easy to turn a blind eye to negative feelings.
But it's important to pay attention, as those feelings can become more and more intense while trying to pretend that they aren't there. Embracing depression is usually easier when you are empowered. That is the reason why it is important to take ownership of your diagnosis and play an active role in the process of getting better.
Among other important steps that you should try and realize are:
- establish and maintain consistent sleep habits
- avoid disruptions
- spend some time in nature
- get professional help
- avoid drug and alcohol use
- get plenty of regular exercises
- eat a healthy diet
- be patient with yourself.

Last night, Teddy and I dressed up in our yukata, and went off to meet with my previous students and coworkers for dinner and to watch Gozan Okuribi. Gozan Okuribi, which means "the five mountain send-off fires" is also known as "Daimonji" – after one of the kanji that is used in the fires. Daimonji takes place on August 16th, and marks the end of O-bon. O-bon is a time when people believe the spirits of the dead return to the earth, so many people go back to their hometowns at this time and care for their family graves. These send-off fires are supposed to guide the spirits back to the afterlife.
There are 5 send-off fires lit in order from east to west – dai (kanji for "Large"), myou-hou ("wonderous dharma"), fune-gata (shape of a boat), hidari-dai (the kanji for large on the left), and torii-gata (the shape of a shrine gate). The first fire is lit at 8 pm, and the last is lit at 8:20 pm. From our perspective, we could see all of the fires except for torii-gata.
We began our evening at Koyaji, an izakaya (Japanese bar) right by my old school from my JET days.

5th Element: Tommy Davidson drops… knowledge?
Never would I have EVER known the intelligence of this comic had I not stumbled across this video. Tommy Davidson is known for his early work on In Living Color, and feature films such as Ace Ventura, Booty Call, and Juwana Man, plus I still enjoy him on The Proud Family which is a show I haven't been able to give up, even as I embark upon 20 years…
It wasn't until recently (since this video) that I have began looking at comics by-way of their knowledge, and how they choose to present it to us… Granted, some do not present it at all, but if you look through the works of Paul Mooney, Richard Pryor, Dave Chappelle, Martin Lawrence, Bernie Mac, and so on and so on, they've taught me a thing or two about life and the realities it presents.
I was surprised after initially watching this video, because of the amount of knowledge Davidson possesses, but after some time, I found it only fitting… Mind you, some ideological and spiritual divides could create a different stance on the topics he speaks of, but it may be due to my upbringing the ease that I find in believing it all.. plus… it's all been written. do your research… enjoy.wonder.investigate. 😀

You support me whenever I call.
You have my total respect.
If I had my choice of mothers,
You'd be the one I'd select!

The combined NASCAR Nationwide Series and NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Awards will return to South Florida for 2012 and be held at the Loews Miami Beach Hotel, located in the heart of South Beach. The event is scheduled for Monday, November 19, following the Ford Championship Weekend at Homestead-Miami Speedway.
Similar to past award shows, this year's event will honor the NASCAR Nationwide Series and NASCAR Camping World Truck Series champions, as determined during the Homestead-Miami Speedway race weekend, November 16-18.
"Celebrating the champions of the NASCAR Nationwide Series and NASCAR Camping World Truck Series in Miami Beach enables us to continue the wave of excitement out of championship weekend at Homestead-Miami Speedway," said Steve Phelps, NASCAR senior vice president and chief marketing officer. "The backdrop makes for an ideal location to honor those champions — and their teams and sponsors — after their great seasons."
As previously announced, the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Awards will return to Las Vegas, and take place Friday, November 30, at the Wynn Las Vegas. A full lineup of activities for Champion's Week will be announced at a later date.

text: Luke Hudson pitched for the Royals from 2006-2007, compiling a 7-7 KC mark. Overall, the 6-3 righty pitched parts of five years at the major league level, both with KC and Cincinnati, before shoulder injuries tragically cut his career short (he finished 17-18 with a 5.11 ERA). Hudson is most remembered by Royals fans for his stretch during the 2006 season in which he was twice Royals Pitcher of the Month and finished 6-3 with a 4.79 ERA as a starter. Luke recently joined Dave O to talk about a number of topics, including how Sean Casey once stopped the Reds team bus to rib Cubs fans in a bar, his respect for Dayton Moore (both as a GM and family man), being a good hitting pitcher, all the shoulder issues and much more!

The people putting on the show were so interested and engaged which is nice to see people enjoying something on our campus. The atmosphere was so friendly and personal for this show. The classical pieces were amazing and the piano and saxophone went together so much better than I ever imagined.

Reiki Principles by Reiki Master, Donna Magtibay
Mon, Apr 1, 2019
Reiki is an energy healing modality that aims to remove blockages and/or increase the flow of energy around and throughout the body. Its holistic approach works on the body, mind, and spirit to stimulate the body's own natural healing abilities.
Healing differs from curing. The goal of allopathic medicine is to cure or eradicate disease whereas Reiki aims to heal or restore balance and harmony. Restoring balance and harmony allows the body, mind and spirit to heal itself. This often results in relaxation, pain reduction, improved healing, and reduced symptoms of illness.
In order to to maintain the healing and/or to enhance the healing, the recipient of Reiki must play an active role in their healing. This may include changes in lifestyle, beliefs, thought patterns, friends, etc.
The Reiki principles assist in adding balance and perspectives to ones life.
Not only must the recipients play an active role in their healing, the Reiki practitioners must also work toward becoming their highest self. Mikao Usui, the founder of Reiki, believed that in order for anyone to practice Reiki and transfer healing energy to others, they must have first taken responsibility for their own health and wellbeing. He developed five principles which he taught to his students as strategies to apply to life. He considered the five Reiki principals to be the "secret of inviting happiness." He believed the principles to be a medicine for all people and all diseases because they teach us to focus on positive emotions while releasing the rest.
The Reiki principles are intended for you to remember and reflect on in order to help add balance and perspective to your life. No one is expected to adhere to them as rules.They are spiritual guidelines that enable you to work on yourself each day, without any added pressure or guilt.
The five Reiki principles areJust for today:
Even though it might seem a bit overwhelming to live by all five of this principles every single day, you can start today by trying just one. We will explore each of the principles in subsequent posts.

While the trail surface is quite rugged and at times irritating, this is hands-down my favorite piece of the TRT so far. Lake Aloha is always breath-taking, and there's still some snow on the mountains and even on the trail, even in late August. Along with the austere post-glacial beauty of the upper parts of Desolation Wilderness, the waterfalls and the wildflowers, this one's a keeper. Plus, next time: Dick's Lake and Dick's Peak! Tee hee

Should I return my iPhone 5c for a iPhone 5s?
Apple's iPhone 5c may have just hit stores and online retailers last week, but that isn't stopping users from reconsidering their purchases. Just as with any other device, a brief honeymoon period is often followed by a cold hard look at how a new device fits into a user's life-style.
Does it do the things you hoped it would? How would upgrading to a more expensive model have changed my experience any? Unfortunately, this normal self-doubt period is only heightened by the launch of the iPhone 5s along with the iPhone 5c. Should you return your iPhone 5c for the iPhone 5s? Let's take a look.
If You Purchased the iPhone 5c Because It Was Cheaper
If you purchased the iPhone 5c with its plastic casing and iPhone 5-era internals because of budgetary constraints, I'd argue it's probably a good idea to hang on to it. It's possible that the device won't stay around as long as the iPhone 5s will – especially thanks to that device's 64-bit processor – but in two years upgrading will be that much more worthwhile.
If You Purchased the iPhone 5c for its Colors.
Don't return the iPhone 5c for the iPhone 5s if you're into colored devices. For all talk of gold iPhone 5s shortages, the device doesn't really offer any color choices beyond that. It's still a metal and glass slab with a touch of color for color's sake. Meanwhile the iPhone 5c can be seen from a football field away.
If You Purchased the iPhone 5c and Need More Storage.
There's no way around the iPhone 5c's skimpy storage options. It just doesn't offer as much storage as a 64GB iPhone 5s. If you are finding that you are absolutely going to need more on-board storage than the 32GB max that is available on the iPhone 5c, definitely consider upgrading to the iPhone 5s's 64GB version. At $399 with a two-year service agreement, it's not cheap by any means, but if storage is a necessity, it's your only option.
If You Purchased the iPhone 5c and You Want a Fingerprint Reader.
Don't return the iPhone 5c to get an iPhone 5s simply for Touch ID. At least an extra $100 plus the restocking fee for your iPhone 5c, Touch ID will not necessarily make your device any more secure than using a decent passcode.
If You Purchased the iPhone 5c and Want Better Build Quality
There's no way around the iPhone 5c being made of plastic, and Apple's Jonathan Ive calling it "unapologetically plastic" isn't doing it any favors. If you're a busy professional or need a device that feels substantial in the hand, then the extra cost of returning and purchasing the iPhone 5c is worth it. Plastic is great and all, but it's no substitute for real alloys.
Overall, the iPhone 5c is a great device that should reward users for the slightly lower purchase price over time. However, whether you keep the device or head to the nearest Apple Store to return it, largely depends on your specific needs.
Those looking to return their iPhone 5c for the iPhone 5s might want to place a call to their local retailer before resetting their device. The iPhone 5c may still be largely in-stock, however the iPhone 5s in any color remains somewhat illusive.

Donnhoff Hermannshohle Riesling GG 2016
"The 2016 Hermannshöhle GG from Dönnhoff is once again one of the top dry rieslings of the vintage in Germany thanks to its stunning combination of concentration and finesse. The super-mineral finish tugs at your lapels trying to pull you with it into the distance. Don't resist! Good for several decades at least. 97 points." Stuart Pigott, jamessuckling.com, December 2017.My wine of the two days in Melbourne (did not taste the Dellchen – I bet it's a close call). Style and power – porphyry (black and red) & limestone shining through the super racy fruit.The depth of fruit and it's intensity is something to behold. Ian Cook FWC.

LifeFORCE® Spray is most convenient form of supplement on the market. It is simply a liquid sprayed underneath the tongue making it very easy to use.
The main advantage of the sublingual administration. LifeFORCE is that it's very rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream and that is because the underneath of the tongue is an area rich in blood vessels.
As LifeFORCE is usually administered twice a day, it is the most convenient and effective form of growth hormone supplement.
The administration of LifeFORCE takes you only a few seconds and thus it spares you the pain of swallowing pills or taking HGH injections.
Another fact worth mentioned about LifeFORCE is that it contains no hormones. Instead it has stimulatory effect on the pituitary gland in order to produce more natural human growth hormone. Thus, LifeFORCE is a safe and healthy to use oral supplement.

RateSetter ranks first in major investment class in 2018
The RateSetter investment platform outperformed other major asset classes throughout 2018 including savings, shares and property.
RateSetter's peer-to-peer lending model launched in Australia to fill a gap in the investment market between traditional investment models. We saw an opportunity to offer investors a middle ground between low-risk, low-return investments such as bank deposits, and higher-risk investments such as shares through investing in personal loans to creditworthy borrowers. By opening up the well-established asset class of consumer loans to everyday retail investors, which was previously reserved for banks and institutional investors, we are proud to now be consistently offering investors attractive returns, with what we believe is only a low level of risk.
We've looked back at 2018 to demonstrate how RateSetter is successfully helping people earn more money on their investments while enjoying peace of mind. The figures show how RateSetter's investment platform has outperformed other major asset classes throughout 2018 including savings, shares and property.
Interest rates on savings accounts slumps
Bank savings accounts are one of the 'safest' ways to deal with your money but there's a price to pay when it comes to gaining meaningful returns. In 2018 12 month term deposit accounts averaged returns of 2.20% whilst online savings accounts averaged returns of 0.93% p.a. With a 1.9% year-on-year (YoY) inflation rate reported at the end of October 2018 and a 2.1% YoY inflation rate forecast for the end of January 2019, on average Aussies are losing money by just keeping funds in a savings account.
The year the ASX would like to forget
Sure, even at the best of times the share market can be an unpredictable beast, but 2018 was a particularly unimpressive year. The ASX (All Ordinaries Total Return Index) fell 6.8% wiping as much as $120 billion off investors' portfolios. In fact, in February 2018, $90bn was lost in two days! Of course, none of this was surprising considering 2018 brought us the Royal Commission into banking misconduct, the loss of 8,000 jobs at Telstra and a few other things like department store Myer posting a substantial loss.
To summarise, the ASX started the year with over 6000 points, peaking at 6,352 points in August and closed the year in December 2018 at a disappointing 5600 points.
A nerve-racking 2018 for property investors
Australia's property market used to be a safe bet for investors who previously enjoyed a few years of solid gains. But times have since changed. Home prices right across Australia slumped by an average of 4.8% in 2018 with the biggest falls seen in Sydney's property prices dropped by 8.9% last year, Melbourne's falls of 7.0% were not too far behind. After a poor performance in 2018, further declines expected in 2019 are likely to result in Australia's sharpest downturn in property prices since our last recession.
RateSetter 2018: Same year, a very different story
By connecting everyday Australian investors with creditworthy borrowers, RateSetter offers investors a regular and stable source of income.
By cutting the costs and inefficiencies of traditional financial institutions, investors can earn more attractive returns whilst borrowers can access fairer rates. In 2018, average returns delivered in RateSetter's 5-year Income lending market was 9.1% p.a., more than 4 times higher than the bank savings interest rate, whilst the average return for the 3-year Income lending market was 7.6% p.a.
The chart below shows how RateSetter's lending markets compared to the performance of other asset classes in 2018.
Past performance is not an indicator of future performance. Capital is at risk when you lend with RateSetter. Your investment is not a deposit and does not have the benefit of protection under the Financial Claims Scheme as it may have if it were an amount deposited with an Australian ADI.
- Online savings account: RBA; table F4 Retail deposit and investment rates; series ID FRDIRSAO10K (2018 monthly average)
- 12-month term deposit: RBA; table F4 Retail deposit and investment rates; series ID FRDIRBTD10K1Y (2018 monthly average)
- RateSetter lending markets (weighted average matched rates from 1 January 2018 – 31st December 2018)
- ASX All-Ords Total Return

This is Marshlands, by Amy E. Anderson (Wigglyworld on Ravelry). It is knit in Blackberry Ridge medium weight wool yarns. For $16.00 the Blackberry Ridge kit is a bargain and there is an ample amount of yarn included. The pattern is also available in Amy's Rav store. This hat is a very quick knit. It would be an excellent first Fair Isle project.
Embroidery is among the many needlecrafts that I never mastered, but Amy's directions are very clear on how to embroider the tops of the reeds. "In at point one, out at point two, in at point three…," all nicely charted. It has been observed that my reed tops look more like dead Christmas trees, but we won't discuss that right now.
This hat looks incredibly dopey on my head. Sad to say, but true. But I had Sara, the granddaughter of my neighbors at the lake, try it on and she looked cute as a bug's ear. My question to Sara was "braids–on or off?" She voted to keep the braids on, and so I did. Amy's pattern called for more diminutive six-strand braids.

It sounds just as catchy.
You know, I think I'm glad the football season's winding down. It's really hard to knit, especially cables, while watching a game. All that's left now is the Super Bowl, which I may or may not watch at the pub down the street. Kickoff is at around 11:30 p.m. here, the whole thing's usually over around 4 a.m., and I have to get up at 7. I really wish they wouldn't have their football games on a school night.
Okay, one last thing: New Orleanians? You people are awesome.

Shortly before taking the WonderCon stage yesterday to promote their tornadic thriller Into the Storm, I landed an exclusive video interview with Richard Armitage and Max Deacon on the red carpet. Directed by Steven Quale (Final Destination 5), Into the Storm aims to take audiences directly into the storm of the century when it opens August 8th. The film also stars Sarah Wayne Callies, Matt Walsh, Alycia Debnam-Carey, Arlen Escarpeta, Nathan Kress, Jeremy Sumpter, Kyle Davis, Jon Reep, and Scott Lawrence. For more on the film, read our recap of the panel.
During the interview Armitage and Deacon talked about who they play, the tornado sequences, practical effects, bone structure, and more. In addition, Armitage revealed he's yet to see any footage from The Hobbit: There and Back Again and how he's recording his ADR this summer. Hit the jump to watch.
Richard Armitage and Max Deacon:
- They talk about the practical effects.
- While they were filming people kept finding incredible real life weather events which they'd watch on YouTube.
- Armitage talks about one of the tornado sequences.
- They talk about the characters they play.
- Armitage says he hasn't seen any footage from the final Hobbit movie and that he's doing ADR this summer. He's excited to see the battle of the five armies.

Press Release
January 28, 2018
Villar vows to hasten approval of other bills to boost the agri sector
Sen. Cynthia A. Villar, chair of the Senate agriculture and food committee, has promised to hasten the approval of other relevant bills referred to her committee to further spur agricultural growth.
For instance, Villar said, she had called a hearing late last year on the implementation of Republic Act 3708 or the Seeds Industry Development Act of 1992 due to its failure to make available high-quality seeds to small farmers.
The senator said she filed Senate Bill 322, which seeks to establish a continuing national program for hybrid and other quality seeds production.
"Allow me to give you an update on my authored bills, such as the National Food Authority (NFA) Reorganization Act; and the Abolition of the irrigation service fees for small farmers and some other bills," said Villar during the Initial Consultative Meeting & Launching of (Food and Agriculture Organization) FAO-Legislative Advisory Group PH or FLAG-PH.
The reorganization of the NFA, Villar said, is among the priorities of her committee for this year. She believes the NFA is due for reorganization because of the key role it plays in the lives of rice-eating Filipinos and a rice-producing Philippines or our food security.
Until now, she lamented that the Philippines is yet to reach its rice self-sufficiency targets.
She also noted that President Rodrigo Duterte is keen on NFA taking a bigger role by handling other agricultural commodities (rice and corn) besides rice.
The senator likewise happily related that for the first time in our country's history, irrigation is now free for farmers.
"I am the primary author of the Free Irrigation Service to Small Farmers Act of 2017 or Senate Bill 1465 (under Committee Report No. 103)," said Villar
"Once signed into law, free irrigation services will be institutionalized for small farmers or those with eight hectares or below, which as UN-FAO acknowledges are the ones that will feed the world's population. It is truly a landmark law that will benefit generations of Filipino farmers," she added.
Villar has also conducted a public hearing on the proposal to lift quantitative restriction on rice. She pushed for the creation of a special fund composed of all duties collected from the importation of rice to be spent on programs that will hasten competitiveness of Filipino farmers.
Villar also noted that during the 16th Congress, she led the passage into law of 16 significant bills on agriculture and fisheries.

Someone was asking for Photoshop help the other day. I know a little bit about Photoshop. Not much, I admit, but I have fun playing with it. I had it on my computer for a while, and I had no idea what to do with it. I didn't even know where to start. That's when I found a free online course to teach me Photoshop Basics. I think it was just called Beginning Photoshop, and it really did start me at the beginning and help me know where to start and how to do some very basic things in Photoshop. Now whenever I check, I usually see intermediate or advanced Photoshop courses, and one of these days I am going to sign up and take one of them.
I usually don't see the Beginning class offered, so tonight I went looking for one and found this Adobe Photoshop Basics course that looks very helpful.
Adobe Photoshop Basics is a free online class consisting of eight self-paced lessons that will give get you up and running with a good start. It won't teach you all there is to know about Photoshop–that can take years–but it will give you a solid foundation that you can build on though online tutorials, third-party books, or other training.
The lessons are intended to be worked through in the order presented, and at your own pace. You can also sign up to have them emailed to you and have one lesson sent a week.

Here's a Parental Alienation resource for telling your side of the story. The folks at www.keepingfamiliesconnected.org are not just building a website, they are living the horror of Parental Alienation. They built this site to help others deal with the pain of the loss, and to hopefully create a roadway back to their children and their lives. It's a great idea, and they've done a wonderul job of setting up an example of what a parent who is fighting for the right to see their kids should do. The video is a great example of a father's devotion.
If you're a dad who is experiencing the loss of a child through Parental Alienation, creating a website here, might be the way that your kids can reunite with you as they grow up. Parental Alienation Resource

Saturday Scream Queen: Janet Gunn
As Janet Gunn started her show-business career, she was as athletic as she was beautiful. Her past as a gymnast and turn as a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader in the early 1980s led being hired as Susan Howard's stunt double on the TV series "Dallas." Television bit-parts followed and eventually she landed leading roles in crime dramas such as "Dark Justice" and "Silk Stalkings".
Her athleticism made her a natural for action movies, and she has appeared along-side the likes of Jean-Claude Van Damme. She has, naturally being featured in this series, also appeared in a number of horror films, usually in physically demanding parts.
Gunn was busiest in the 1990s, after which she mostly stepped away from acting to care for her son who was born in 2002. One of her final films before this break was ghost movie "Lost Voyage (2001). Before that her horror credits were "The Nurse" (1997), in which she co-starred with past Saturday Scream Queen Lisa Zane; and "Carnosaur 3: Primal Species" and "Marquis de Sade (both in 1996).

MSC Cruises Interview Sheds More Light on Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve Details
Cruise Line & Cruise Ship MSC Cruises Jason Leppert February 10, 2017
Although the opening of MSC Cruises' new private island—Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve—has been delayed from its originally slated date of December 2017 to October 2018, I had the opportunity to interview the company about what can be expected once it does open to tide travelers over.
With so many new private destination experiences emerging from several cruise lines, what will differentiate Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve?
"Ocean Cay will offer our guests the opportunity to experience a natural paradise that is truly the best the Caribbean has to offer with 11,400 feet of beautiful coastline, crystal blue waters and some of the finest aragonite sands in the world. Working in partnership with the Government of The Bahamas, our aim is to bring this unpopulated, uninhabitable island and its surrounding waters back to their original state.
"The island is being built as an extension of MSC's ship experience, with all the same services from the ship —dining, spa and entertainment—also available on shore. As a highlight for our MSC Yacht Club guests, the island will feature an exclusive MSC Yacht Club area so that guests will continue to receive VIP butler service in their own private area of the beach, with exclusive spa and wellness sanctuary and private bungalows and massage huts.
"Ocean Cay will also boast a purpose-built berth that will allow the cruise ships to dock directly at the island, allowing guests to step straight off the ship onto the island instead of tendering to shore. In addition to docking at the pier, we're also changing up the private island experience by staying until midnight. Guests will have the opportunity to enjoy the beach and a number of family-friendly activities and entertainment during the day—conveniently get back on the ship to freshen up—and then go back to the island dinner and evening entertainment."

What can you tell us about the experiences and nature reserve elements that will be available on the island?
"During the day guests will be able to enjoy a variety of water sports and beach games as well as choose from a number of shore excursions including snorkeling in some of the most beautiful waters in the Caribbean. The island will also be very family-friendly, with a family beach and dedicated kids' restaurant, play areas and other useful facilities.
"In the evening guests can enjoy live music and family-friendly entertainment. The island will include a variety of restaurants and bars available throughout the entire day, offering local specialties.
"We will transform the island into a pristine marine reserve populated by thousands of indigenous Caribbean trees, plants and flowers. These waters will once again host local coral and fish species."
What features are MSC most excited about sharing with its guests?
"We are thrilled to create an extension of the MSC Cruises ship onshore in this beautiful destination with all of the features previously detailed. Beyond the offering to our guests, we are pleased to be continuing our already strong partnership with the Bahamas. Our involvement with the Bahamas actually began decades ago as our sister company, MSC Cargo, was the first global shipping line to serve the Bahamas. In recent years, we have extended our partnership to cover our cruise operations, and guest feedback has always been extremely positive about their experiences in the Bahamas. Ocean Cay was an ideal opportunity to expand our presence in the region even further."
READ MORE: MSC Cruises Breaks Ground on Ocean Cay, Opening Scheduled for November 2018
"The island is currently slated to open in November 2018. The plan is for many of MSC Cruises ships operating in the Caribbean to visit Ocean Cay regularly on their itineraries. This includes the revolutionary MSC Seaside that will become our flagship when it enters into service at the end of this year, which will visit the island on a weekly basis, all year round."
"As we begin development on this paradise island, we will be incorporating a comprehensive landscaping plan that will see more than 80 indigenous Caribbean trees, grasses flowers and shrubs planted on the island, restoring the island to a lush, natural habitat."
What will the zip-line experience be like?
"We have announced that there will be a zip line on the island. Details are still being worked out and finalized, however. So, unfortunately, we don't any have more details at this time to share."
Are there any additional details you can provide about the private bungalows? Will they be open-air or air-conditioned, for example?
"The bungalows will be Bahamian style huts that will serve as the Spa area, located in the Yacht Club part of the island."

Noisy Nights by Fleur McDonald
Published by New Frontier Publishing
There's nothing more than sinking into your bed at night and closing your eyes in the peace and quiet - unfortunately for Farmer Hayden things aren't to quite on his farm. For you see the animals on Farmer Hayden's farm got rather noisy at night. From cows mooing to dogs barking and even chirping crickets it was impossible for Farmer Hayden to get a goods night's sleep.
Farmer Hayden asked nicely for the animals to be quiet, but they were being too noisy and didn't even hear him. The next night the noise grew even louder as even more animals joined the racket. With ear muffs on his head he yelled "Please be quiet everyone!' but again it was no good. As the days drew on Farmer Hayden got more tired and was desperate for sleep. He tried reasoning with them and spending time with them, but again they were moo-ing and maa-ing all night.
Giving up he wearily brings himself to his battered old chair and looks out across his farm and all his noisy animals. Soon he notices a peculiar thing - sheep jumping over the fence. "Farmer Hayden started to count. One, two, there, four, five, six..." and can you guess what happened next? He fell fast asleep along with all his other noisy animals enraptured with the sheep's display.
Noisy Nights is a modern interpretation of the counting sheep bed time ritual of children across the world and was beautifully told. I particularly loved that the animals also fell asleep counting sheep. The illustrations matched well and really helped add to the story, a well-rounded children's picture book.

Last Thursday, one of my classes finished the novel The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane. Each day I would begin class by reading one short chapter aloud. And, each day, they would whine when I finished "aww...c'mon...just a little bit more...half a chapter!" That story might have, in my opinion, one of the greatest endings of any book out there, and they agreed. As I read the plot-twisting ending on the final page, two of the girls had tears in their eyes and three of them jumped up and down excitedly screaming.
This is why read-alouds are still valuable, even for older kids--it's the best way I've found in my 10+ years of teaching to build a love of reading, especially in reluctant readers. Nearly any time I share with a parent, fellow teacher, or administrator that I read aloud, even to middle school kids, the reaction at first seems to be hmm...is that really a good use of instructional time? And that's a valid question. But here's a few of the reasons why I would (and do!) argue that it is.
Many, many years ago in my early twenties, I did something that NO woman in her early twenties EVER does: I fell for the wrong guy.
Shocking, I know.
The problem with falling for the wrong guy in your twenties is that you don't realize he's the wrong guy until after the fact and you need LOTS and LOTS of proof before you realize it. You're like the world's worst juror--overwhelming evidence, no conviction. Or you convict, acquit...convict, acquit...
Oh, the drama. Here's just a few of the ways I figured out that he was the wrong guy.
I'm Krissy & I'm so thankful you're here. Being a woman, a wife, a mother--it's all rewarding but also tough. I hope this is a place you can go that feels like caffeine for the soul. Check out the categories below and, if you like what you read, subscribe to make sure you always have good Sunday morning reading to go with your coffee :)

The Golden State Warriors are on a historic pace this season. Their 40-4 record has many believing they can be repeat NBA champions and become the next great dynasty in sports. The Warriors have the pieces to win another championship, but building a dynasty is an even bigger challenge.
The word "dynasty" is overused in modern day sports. The process of building and maintaining a "dynasty" is extremely difficult to accomplish. In order to even be considered in the conversation of a dynasty, a team must win multiple championships in a five to 10-year period and be considered the elite team of the era.Every candidate must have three key ingredients to be considered a dynasty:
1. Two superstars and a solid core of role players
Each dynasty over the past 50 years has possessed multiple superstar players on the roster who carried the team, but for every Shaq and Kobe carrying a franchise into a dynasty there's a group core of players who are the glue holding the whole thing together. The Lakers don't win three straight championships without Robert Horry becoming "big shot Bob" and hitting the big shots at the biggest moments.
2. A veteran coach/manager to manage the players
Any coach or manager can put together a lineup and send their team out every night, but coaching goes deeper than just the lineup.
Coaches with winning teams develop winning cultures and create a continuity not only within their locker room, but the organization as a whole. Coaches like Phil Jackson, Scotty Bowman, Chuck Noll and Joe Torre created cultures like this, and the results speak for themselves in championship rings.
3.Front office personnel to put everything in place
The front office has the toughest job out of the three. They do most, if not all, of their work behind the scenes.
The general manager of a team moving toward dynasty status has to be sure each signing or trade is going to help the team improve play without changing the chemistry or culture. One wrong move can be the difference between a maintaining and destroying a dynasty.
Free agency has become the biggest deterrent to the modern day dynasty. Every player is looking for the big payday, and no one can blame them the way money is flowing through professional sports. It is almost impossible to keep a team together if there are four or five key players leaving every year due to free agency. When a team has to solidify a new set of core players every season, there is no chemistry, and with- out chemistry, it is impossible to win a championship much less become a dynasty.
Only two teams have successfully built dynasties in the past 10 years, the Chicago Blackhawks and the San Francisco Giants. The Blackhawks and Giants have been able to build dynasties in an era of sports where it is very difficult to do so. Both teams have the perfect combination of core players and superstars, coaches and front office personnel who put them in a position to contend every year.
Golden State is having an outstanding season, and it has the right ingredients to build a dynasty, but there are several teams in the past 50 years who were on the verge of building a dynasty and came up short.
The Warriors have a long way to go before they can win their second straight title and even farther to be a part of the conversation about sports dynasties.

I have been looking for a product which could help me know what the children were doing on their computer as well as allow me to block out certain lengths of active time on the internet. When Action Alert Parental Control Software came up as a possible review, I was really excited. I received a 1 year subscription to the premium version of Action Alert. The premium version costs $29.99 for the subscription. There is also a free version available without as many features. I discovered that if you choose the free version you will be directed to a page with a discount on the premium version. Action Alert does offer a 30 day money back guarantee.
Action Alert is not a standard blocking program. Instead, it is designed to help with accountability for internet usage. For every account on the computer, Action Alert can be set to different levels of security so that those who need stricter filtering have that protection and those who need less protection but need accountability can have that. It does come with a default blocking list as well as a safe search engine (which will become your homepage and auto-turn off tabs when the browser closes if utilized) or the ability to only allow listed sites which come from your favorites list or ones you add to the white list within the manger screen. At any time, an exception or addition of safe site can be made in the manager's control panel.
Installation of Action Alert should be very simple- download, input email address and a password, and go. Unfortunately for me, something went a little wrong in the installation process and my account wasn't working properly. Customer Service was excellent though. I called the support line and after trying several things I was supposed to call back in 10 minutes after waiting for the server on their end to update. Just before I called back, I received a call from a Level 2 Tech Support Manager. He worked almost an hour past closing to help me try and remedy my problem. Since he couldn't access the servers after hours, he called me back the next day to help find the problem. He worked for another hour to fix the issues I was having with my computers. I was really impressed with their customer service and dedication to solving the problem. One of my problems was I had forgotten to remove a different blocking program before installing... oops. The installation window should have mentioned removing all blocking software first!
Once I got Action Alert up and running I discovered that it took a while to figure out how to use it. The Support/FAQ inside the Action Alert Manager screen is not necessarily up to date for Action Alert. It contains quite a bit of information related to a prior product produced by the same company which required a USB key. Action Alert no longer requires any hardware, but the information is still contained within the Support information. As a result I was initially very confused as to how to use the program. Customer service was great about helping me set it up the way I needed to for my particular users though. I never figured out how to track keystrokes or usernames and passwords. Maybe this would be in the playback?
Here is a screenshot of the safe search page. I turned it off as I didn't really like all the extraneous stuff on the page, especially the advertisement on the page. I did like the Today (in history blurbs) though. I would rather have seen just the Today and the search box without all the "helps" and suggested links or advertisements on the screen.
Two features I really like in the premium version are the internet shutdown and the video of the screen action. The internet shutdown can be triggered remotely from another computer. If an inappropriate word is typed into the computer an alert email or text can be sent to the parent. The alerts to email have a link to shut down internet for this user. This action will disable the user's account (including the desktop) until the password is inputted or the account manager reactivates it. The user can switch to a different user if he or she knows the password though. Nothing will be lost as it just freezes the screen rather than turn it off. The list of inappropriate words seems to be very inclusive of any word which could be construed as offensive or inappropriate. I consider myself pretty conservative when it comes to language and I managed to accidentally trigger a few alerts for words I wouldn't consider inappropriate. Once I was writing a Latin word and it triggered an alert. I had to go back and review the video because I knew I was the one on the computer and wasn't out typing bad words! The screenshot recording can be set to take a shot every second if there the is a screen change, or every 5 seconds, or other length of time the manger deems appropriate. The further the length of time between screen shots, the more choppy the playback, but the longer the playback can cover. The playback feature can be used to monitor social interactions of teens and children to help them learn what is appropriate to share or not share online.
I have mixed feelings about Action Alert. I really liked some of the features, but the bugs I experienced really "bugged" me.
First, the Pro's:
1. I love the accountability aspect that is introduced into internet filtering. I like that I can see the screenshots if necessary. By introducing the accountability aspect with the screenshots, I can have a conversation with my children about why something might not be appropriate rather than just having them blocked.
2. I like that I can remotely deactivate an account, especially since I have at least one child who tries to just do one more thing far too often. The remote disabling is not instant though.
3. Being able to set acceptable times for a student to be on the computer was very helpful with monitoring a child who tends to get sucked in very easily. When his time was up, his account shut down (as in couldn't be used but his work was still present and not lost), and he would have to justify to me why he needed more time.
4. It worked on my older (7 year old) computer that my kids use.
5. Customer Service availability.
And the Con's:
1. I found my browser crashed more often than it had prior to installation, especially if I had multiple browser tabs open (which frequently happens).
2. My internet speed seemed to slowed a little more than it had with other filtering software although over time I didn't notice this as much.
3. I also found that while it would block undesirable sites, unless the Action Alert safe searching website is used, it does not filter search results.
4. If you reset your password, in Action Alert, it won't reset on other computers you are using even though you are on the Action Alert website. I find this to be counter intuitive. If I log in with the same email address, and password, shouldn't that be universal?
5. Resetting your password will result in deleting all the video footage prior to the password reset on the computer you reset the password on.
6. I don't like when companies offer one price but if you click the right buttons or reject their initial offer the price is lowered. I prefer the company to be more forthright with pricing.
I think this program has great potential but needs a little work to make it more user-friendly. Given the level of customer service I experienced, I am sure that they will keep working to improve their program and it will only get better. The free version will filter the internet, but if you want to add the accountability aspects of Action Alert, you have to upgrade. I say give it a try. I will continue to use Action Alert on my children's computer as I feel it does the job just as well as other programs I have used and adds a few features I find valuable to help me teach them. Following this review I will be taking it off my computer because I find the browser crashes obnoxious.
Disclaimer: As a member of the TOS Crew, I received this product, at no cost to me, in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are mine.

Event Calendar
Bill Emmott, Author of "Japan's Far More Female Future"
(The speech and Q & A will be in English)
"Can Japan be a Country Where Women Shine? Womenomics and More"
Six years have passed since Prime Minister Shinzo Abe announced he would create a Japan "in which women can shine." Bill Emmott, whose 1989 book, "The Sun Also Sets," predicted the bursting of Japan's real estate and stock market bubble the following year, has now written a book in which he states that Japan's future will be determined not by policy changes, or automation, but by how well the country can utilize the creative energies of its women. Bill writes, "We can't predict the future, whatever model-wielding economists, weather-forecasters and fortune-tellers may claim but we can usefully identify the factors in today's world with the potential to make the biggest difference, for good or ill." Drawing on his two most recent books, "Japan's Far More Female Future" and "The Fate of the West," Bill will talk about how the domestic issues of gender inequality and misuse of human capital, and the international issue of repairing and reviving the "Western" network of liberal democracies to which Japan belongs, combine to form the most important determinant of whether Japan will be prosperous, safe and stable in coming decades.
A club regular and former club secretary, Bill Emmott was Tokyo correspondent for The Economist in 1983-86, was editor-in-chief of The Economist in 1993-2006, is the author of 14 books, and is now chairman of the Japan Society of the UK, of the International Institute for Strategic Studies in London, and of Trinity College Dublin's Research Institute for Arts & Humanities. He is also an Ushioda Fellow of Tokyo College at the University of Tokyo.
"Japan's Far More Female Future" came out in Japanese in June this year from Nikkei and will be published by Oxford University Press in 2020. "The Fate of the West" appeared in both English and Japanese in 2017.
Doors open for TV crews only at 11:00, all others at 11:45. Please reserve in advance, 3211-3161 or on the website (still & TV cameras inclusive).

Summer holidays can mean two things for businesses depending on the product or service they provide. It can be one of the busiest times of the year for the hospitality or tourist industry, but for those providing business to business (B2B) services, it can be an incredibly quiet time. Often clients will take time off over the summer or reduce their required services. Some may even review the services over these quiet months and decide to stop using them altogether. Continue reading "Making the most of the Summer months"

Gone Fishing!
Have you started thinking about your summer holiday yet? A survey commissioned by Simply Business in 2015 found that 1/5 of business owners couldn't afford to take a single day off in the summer holidays. Taking a break is vital for maintaining a healthy body and mind, but when you run your own business it can be hard to step away. Continue reading "Gone Fishing!"
Breaks, remember those!
I'll just do one more thing! That has always been my mantra……. I know it isn't good for me and am making a conscious effort to take some short breaks during the day. Knowing I do feel much better leaving my desk for a short break, it really is silly not to do it…..
To help me, I am putting down my thoughts on why to pause before starting the next item on my to-do list and sharing them with you. Hopefully, from today, I will start to listen to my own advice! Continue reading "Breaks, remember those!"
