Lush green mountains surrounded by breath taking blue oceans, there is a good reason Puerto Galera grew out to be on of the Philippines' most developed beach destinations. The great diving, white sandy beaches, swaying palmtrees and bustling nightlife all make Puerto Galera an ideal place for a dive holiday. However, what really sets Puerto Galera apart is that it has managed to keep a local charm and is free of chain-businesses and mass tourism. With tons of good dive sites within minute's reach from the beach, Puerto Galera boasts the highest amount of dive operations in the Philippines.
Mindoro island is separated from Luzon island by the Verde Island passage. This deep and clear passage can have strong currents, but make for exciting dives for experienced divers with the right knowledgeable dive guide. As the five kilometers of foreshore are marine protected area, Puerto Galera diving teems with marine life. From larger fish and pelagic species to small macro critters, Puerto Galera boasts over 3000 species of fish and close to 450 species of coral.
Diving in Puerto Galera is possible year-round, however, best diving conditions occur between April and September. Water temperatures are nice and comfortable this time of year, counting up to 29 degrees Celsius. Typhoon season runs from August till the end of November which can bring bad weather, but there are always sheltered dive sites that can be dived. Water temperatures can go down to 22 degrees Celsius in December, specifically at the deeper dive sites that have thermoclines.
Travel time from Manila to Puerto Galera is about 5 hours by bus and ferry and transportation is comfortable and frequent. For those travelers with sufficient budget, private transfers can be arranged by ground transportation or by private sea plane. From Puerto Galera, travelers are taken to their resort by local 'Banca' boat. Places to stay and dive centers are plentiful in Puerto Galera.
Located at the Verde Island channel with deep waters and strong currents, Puerto Galero offers exciting dive opportunities that sport good visibility and lots of fish action. Most dive sites are in a short reach of the beaches, which allows divers to return to land for their surface interval. Prices are very affordable for both fun dives and dive courses.
Canyons is often named as one of the best dive sites in Puerto Galera. Consisting of 3 canyons, with a maximum dept of 30 meters and a strong current this is not a dive site for beginners. The reef is covered in huge gorgonians and pink soft coral and has a lot of fish life, including Batfish, sweet lips, groupers, trevally and the occasional octopus or turtle.
An excellent macro dive site, Coral Cove is a sloping reef than ends in a wall at 20 meters. The reef is home to nudibranchs, puffer fish and cuttle fish, whereas the wall overhangs house some interesting creatures like pipe fish, frog fish and ribbon eels.
For divers with deep diver training, the Fish Bowl is a must do around Puerto Galera. A blue water descent will bring divers right on top of the Fish Bowl, which is a stadium shaped reef. White tip reef sharks are often sighted here as well as rainbow runners, Tuna and Jacks. After a look at the fish bowl this dive continues to The Canyons, or technical divers can continue down into the bowl and keep exploring.
A dive site for all levels, Hole in the Wall is a great site for underwater photographers. While the swim through is definitely a highlight, there is more to see around this abundant dive site. Parrotfish, Snapper, trumpetfish and pufferfish swim around while frogfish and little critters hide out between the table coral gardens.
Travelers wanting to dive Puerto Galera's vibrant dive sites need to make the 5 hour trip from Manila by bus and ferry. Buses leave Manila every morning for Batangas Pier, where the ferry leaves to Puerto Galera. Upon arrival, divers can choose between tons of dive operators. There are basically two ways to go about diving in Puerto Galera, to stay at a dive resort, or to independently book dives.
Dive resorts offer the comfortable option of staying in a hotel with diving right at the doorstep. Sabang beach is a popular part of PueroGalera and has several good dive resorts. Atlantis is one of the area's premium dive resorts, offering course, fun dives and liveaboards other outstanding dive spots in the Philippines. Tucked away in the hills of a beautiful beach-front location, Atlantis distinguishes itself by providing outstanding service.
Also located in Sabang Beach is La Laguna beach club & dive center. Built around a swimming pool that is ideal for sunbathing and dive training, this resort's facilities include a bar, satellite TV, a pool table and book exchange. Their dive center is a PADI 5 star instructor development center and offers high standard dive training in a multitude of languages.
Puerto Galera has many options for accommodation ranging from luxury to local budget accommodation. For divers that have found a place to stay outside a dive resort, there are many independent dive centers to take them diving. Action Divers gets great reviews and is one Puerto Galera's most well-established dive centers. They offer dive and stay packages, recreational and technical diving courses, liveaboards and daily boat dives.
Sea Rider is small SSI dive center catering mainly to backpackers and argues to have the most affordable dive rates. They specialize in macro diving, do daily night dives and even discovered their own dive site.

The diving was excellent, the food too (!), and the whole crew was very professional & caring. Thanks!
Not a single thing to complain about and everything to rave about. Chrissie and Jona made everything so easy, and the entire Siren crew made this "Princess Diving" at its very best. Accommodations were superb, the showers were the best after a dive, the food was absolutely excellent - chef and kitchen staff awesome. The dive boats and crew were top notch, and the support staff were simply the best. And this doesn't even start with the diving, which was fantastic (vis, temp, dive guides, and mari...
A well organised and facilitated 6 days. Departed from Cebu City. All the staff on board were fantastic and assisted without question. On board facilities are fantastic. Dive guides were brilliant and guided us around some fantastic dive sites. I cannot recommend this trip highly enough. Money well spent, great value and I'll be doing this again. As far as guidelines, bring your dive gear, minimal clothing and have a ball. A big thanks to the Cruise Director Chrissie, her backup Jona and ...

The fantastic diving found off the Dumaguete area of Negros Oriental, Philippines will delight any diver. Macro fans will find fantastic muck diving right offshore, and a shore boat ride to Apo Island nearby provides great wide angle opportunities with fantastic coral and lots of fish.
A rich biodiversity in one single dive spot? The Kasai Wall in Moalboal (Philippines) offers fascinating dives with a lot of critters, and sometimes big stuff too. I have seen many house reefs around the world, and The Kasai Wall is worth being called a very special one.
The Apo Reef: A pristine reef with rich life, located in the west of occidental Mindoro (Philippines), at the northern tip of the coral triangle. Don't confuse Apo Island with the identically named island in Negros oriental.

In honor of Wonder Woman's solo film debut this weekend, DC has proclaimed Saturday, June 3rd Wonder Woman Day. Created 76 years ago by William Moulton Marston and Harry G. Peter as both a superheroine and symbol for women's equality, Diana has had an eventful history. Her legacy is a rich one, which the staff of Nothing But Comics have often revisited. So, for those wishing to delve deeper into Wonder Woman and what she represents, here is a selection of writings from Nothing But Comics on the adventures of the Princess of Themyscira.

DC's Post Crisis Rebirth: Wonder Woman, George Perez, Gods & Metal
As a comic book that's been continuously published over a seventy year period, several creators have had a significant influence on the character of Wonder Woman and her mytho's. Like many of DC Comics superheros, Wonder Woman was redefined for the modern era following the line wide reboot that was Crisis of Infinite Earths. Like Batman with Frank Miller or Superman with John Byrne, Wonder Woman was taken on by one of comics greatest talents of the time, and within a historical context, one of it's most important creative talents in George Perez. Fresh off his time illustrating Crisis of Infinite Earths, Perez would do a fresh take on the character that leaned into some of the most interesting and functional elements of her mythology without trying to overly define her in any particular direction or style. It's not perfect, it's not on the level of Byrne on Superman or Miller on Batman and it's not essential in the larger context of the medium. But it's well crafted, looks fantastic and straight up cool on an elemental level; that doesn't make for a classic comic per-say but it does make for one that's evergreen. Continue reading DC's Post Crisis Rebirth: Wonder Woman, George Perez, Gods & Metal

5 Comics that Would Make Amazing Cartoons
For many of us, superhero cartoons were gateway drugs into comics. Who doesn't feel a pang of nostalgia when they remember getting up early to watch how Batman defeats the Joker that week, or get pumped up when they hear this?
Cartoons, in many ways, are like comic books during the heyday of the Comics Code Authority. They can tell fantastic stories, but if you are above a certain age, people will inevitably question if you're too old to be watching cartoons. The answer? No, no you're never to old, especially right now, with cartoons like Steven Universe and Gravity Falls pushing the boundaries of storytelling and creating plots and characters that appeal to both kids and adults. The stigma still exists though. Like comics, cartoons struggle for legitimacy. They also share a sort of symbiotic relationship. Comics get adapted to cartoons and cartoons get adapted or expanded in comics. Because of this relationship, here are five boundary pushing comic based cartoons I would love to see in the near future. There are, of course, many others that would be fantastic, but this is just my personal top five. Continue reading 5 Comics that Would Make Amazing Cartoons
Ages of Ultron, Growth
Last week, I discussed the debut and origin of Avengers' nemesis Ultron. This week, I would like to explore how later writers have used the character, starting with:
Ultron Unlimited, Avengers #19-23
Kurt Busiek's new model of Ultron is even more vicious than the preceding ones. He announces his return by unleashing a whole new level of terror: the slaughter of every single man, woman and child in the Baltic state of Slorenia. In a matter of hours, an entire nation's population is decimated. Meanwhile, his robot minions are snatching up his extended family, gathering them about him. Captain America leads a desperate cavalry charge, but all they seem to be able to do is, at best, maintain a stalemate. Every turn, Ultron maintains the upper hand.

Tuesday Top Ten: Important Flash Creators
Many creators have added their own bit of lightning to the Scarlet Speedster, but a select few have become essential in making him as enduring as he as become. Here are ten creators, writers and artists, without whose work we wouldn't have the Flash we know and love today…
TUESDAYS TOP TEN! Comic Book Reboots! [UPDATED]
Each Tuesday, the NBC Staff will comprise a Top Ten list for whatever the topic is for that week. In the comments section, we can all compare the lists to see if there were any patterns. Also, feel free to post your own top ten lists. Today we tackle the many relaunches and reboots of comic-books.
Top Ten Comic Book Reboots!
10. Captain America
Captain America never connected with me before I read Ed Brubaker's take on him. Finally, he was a compelling character. Also, Brubaker brought back Bucky, which, in and of itself, is probably one of the biggest ret-cons ever .

Oh 32 where are You, by M
I was surprised how different being in your 30's really felt. Though I still don't know where I'm going, or what I'm going to do about it, I'm much more sure about it. There's this Confucius quote- one of the only things I took away from Thoreau's Walden (which I read at 17) was, to know what you know, and to not know what you do not know- that's true knowledge. And there's a certain humility, i guess, at knowing for sure your strengths and weaknesses, purposely testing them or not, and deciding how to proceed from there. And being honest about it. Especially with the idea that even if your conception of yourself hasn't aligned with reality that there's no reason to put your life on hold and wait for it. I just get on with things better.
There's little differences too as my habits and social ideas concertize... I certainly am not as socially needy- still needy, yes, but the breadth of what I'm will to experiment with has diminished into disinterest. My boredom is much more narrowly defined and the solutions aren't so much relegated to a big party, an all-nighter, petty theft, rampant candle-incense burning sessions or repeating the same refrain of music all night while writing poetry. But that's just me. I still repeat songs over and over while I write, but the tone is completely different.
I like to repeat the phrase, Ah, fuck it. Alot. Sometimes you deduce things to worse case scenarios- thinking, what's the worst that can happen, and when faced with that I feel a lot better. Like, oh, I can grapple with that, conquer that- also start dealing with your mortality NOW. Aging, NOW. It will hit you like a ton of bricks if you don't start the mental churning now. Not in a oh, woe's me to wilting of my salad days, but just a realistic look at the fact that we all have to die and we're going to get wrinkly and beautifully interesting while we do it- and all that with stereotypical pains. But that doesn't mean you go gently into that goodnight! Age isn't a GAME OVER warning light. But a proceed with caution and a good amount of pep. Because you rock and your worth it. I think the biggest chinks that could bring me to a crestfallen 32 would be if I ignore my vanity and pride... as in what am I vain and proud about- in little ways- my hair, my teeth, my strength, my words, my wit... and imagine those being given the blows of the body and mind aging. And one must be okay with that but not complacent. That redchip is blinking after all.
Ah, I digress! 32 is going to be a good year.
Positives: I'm alive, going to central america, a good home, a mom, and animals and a lovely yard, I'm learning french and am going to accomplish various things on my 'to-do' list, and my awesome car lolly, amazing and strange friends...
Negatives: Debt (possible terminal condition)
Neutrals: Singleness (not quite as negative as i sometimes think it might be), weight (whether which way I'll be be me while doing it.), my job (oh it comes and it goes and one day maybe it will come aground to a magical island called content) and as long as i don't freak myself out in the inbetween times again. That was awful.
Visuals: Up from the dark, amazonian river to the rocky outcrop- blonde wheat colored side of a mountain. The wind is blowing and the sky is blue and clear.
Hmm, anyway, a little more rambley than warm and fuzzy but ah well, themsthebreakskid.

I know, by M
The goings on of me are simple: went camping. finished french. and am almost at the 6month waiting mark for "the TRIP"... also my poor pup Zeppelin has cataracts and the HOUSE is actually being built... foundation first. Also BBQ sunflowerseeds are the best and so is precious stringcheese.
I make the following vow (s):
To post about: the forest, maybe the french final presentation, 32 and per penelope's request my obsession with all things trip related- including intial packing lists, vaccinations and camera quandaries.
Bientot, Blogging World. Till tomorrow. I promise.

Weird Facts Wednesday
Mules are smarter than horses. And apparently mule racing is popular in Brazil and all over the southwest... some mules run faster than arabians and thoroughbreds. They are however, usually sterile but are the result of a mare breeding with a donkey /"jack".

PSA: Gossip Girl
Clearly the program schedulers have read our blog and set it all up, just for me. Program those DVRs! and discuss with me.
In related news, the Summer of Books is also well underway, as I spent the better part of this weekend "lolling out in the yard, watching the children play," with a book in hand, or a magazine, whichever. Of course it's going to be scorching hot before you know it, but until them, I'm soaking it up. It's idyllic. It's kind of heaven, letting your mind and self just "be."
Penelope out.

hey, let's try something new!
I am determined to be cheerful and happy in whatever situation I may find myself. For I have learned that the greater part of our misery or unhappiness is determined not by our circumstance but by our disposition.
-Martha Washington
Yes, but Martha, I initially argued in my mind, aren't you born with your disposition? Aren't some people naturally inclined, through that disposition, to be prickly or brooding or otherwise melancholy? Then I thought about it a little more, thought about the scope of my own life, and I reached a different conclusion.
I feel like, regardless of circumstance, I am uncomfortable... just being alive? Maybe everyone is, to some extent. As m and I recently discussed, in the absence of tension, you crave it. But there will always be tension, I'm not saying you can or should ignore tension. I'm just saying that overall, looking at each period of my life: childhood, junior high, high school, college, the fateful London/Paris trip, Chicago, grad school, real-world employment, and now kids, I always feel this unmistakeable itch. Like there was and is always something to kind of brood on. Like I'm on my way to solving some "problem" and once I get there, once I get past "this," then I will feel good.
Except that, once I do get past "this" (and you always, eventually, get past it), I jump right into some other vague state of discontentment, brooding on an all new "this." It's just the way I operate.
So I'm trying something new. I'm going to actually, for once, enjoy "this." Sure, there are little (and big) everyday problems and sources of stress. Tension. That's totally fine. But geez, I've got these two small people in my life, and this pretty fantastic marriage, and a cool house that I love to fix up and switch up and just plain live in. I need to be hung up on that. So I am. I am, inspired by Martha Washington, choosing a new disposition.
I'll let you know how it goes.

Three Things On My Doorstep I Could Do Without, by pen
He went to my neighbor's house twice as well, and she being smarter than I didn't answer the door, but the second time it was like he knew she was in there and pounded on the door for 20 minutes. Pounded. Creepy. I heard from another neighbor that he was selling children's books, but whatEVer. No thank you, go away.
2. Fancy-Smancy Health Information from BCBSNC. Such as: A heavy-duty binder filled with facts and information re: stress management, losing weight, etc. A little book about counting calories. And most recently, a stress management/yoga CD and a BCBSNC pedometer housed in a metal case. I mean, really? I just feel like some of the resources that went toward producing this extra landfill could have been fueled into projects such as, I don't know, not fucking up so many of our insurance claims that we have to call them on a regular basis to fix them? Because if we didn't, we would end up paying hundreds of dollars more than we're supposed to? Just a thought. But I don't think there's a health insurance company out there that actually does the job right, so what are you going to do.
3. Dying, dead, and deader than dead plants. Which, totally my fault. But sight of the crispy little structures are starting to depress me. To the trash can we must go, or I wonder if some of that soil's reusable, so I could plant some more things and kill them, too? That might be fun.

Summer Goals, by M
A Summer Goals List:
- Obsess about the TRIP
- Think about ways to earn money for the TRIP
- Think about ways to stay employed bcs of the TRIP
- Start buying things for the TRIP
- Continue to be irritated for the $1000+ I have to pay for registration and car insurance in July.
- Go Whale Watching for the great blue whale.
- Go kayaking in La Jolla Cove
- Go sailing on a replica of an 1847 Schooner
- Go swimming
- Go seaweed collecting
- Go to the beach more... it's like a nautical summer.
- Read at least 2 books aloud to mom outside in the garden.
- Take conversational french despite my utter reluctance.
- Stitch together quilt
- Make summer dress from last year
- Finish tear drop walkway
- Create walkway for front house.
- Figure out a way to go to Seattle to visit Matt and visit Pen in NC. Both also in nautical oriented locations.
Weird Facts Wednesday
The Whistling Swan, Cygnus columbianus. In winter it can have as many as 25000.
Did you know that antlers are made of bone? They grow rapidly because they are nourished by a thing called "Velvet"- which is a velvety growth which has a patchwork of blood vessels that feed it. When the season for growth is over the blood flow is cut off at the base of the antler and the velvet is shed. In addition the antlers and their size are an indication of the bucks health because they need so much calcium and food resources in order to support such a system of antlers, the bigger the healthier. They shed them because there's no way they could survive winter having to support both their bodies and their racks.

Summer Goals, by pen
2. The Summer of Movies. I want to rent them, I want to go to the theater with J.Lo and Mel and whoever else I can rally, and watch them. It will be fab. S&TC will be the kickoff. Then maybe Indiana.
3. Watch the first season of Gossip Girl. I'll have to either find it online, or maybe I'll be lucky and the DVD will release before summer is over. I tried and then dropped this series early on last fall, but clearly I made a mistake. Must catch up.
4. The Summer of Blogs. I want to continue blogging and blogging more on each of the three, even if it seems like no one else cares. Because I care, so whatevs.
5. After the peas and cucumbers produce and then die, I want to replace them with squash and tomatoes. Probably I should start the seeds in a pot right now so I can be fully prepared with actual small plants, but that would require pushing said item to the top of the I'm Not Lazy or Otherwise Indisposed list. That would require true ambition.
6. I want to go to the beach a few times. Even though it's basically a giant pain in the ass.
7. I want to make summery things in the kitchen, like fresh salsa and strawberry rhubarb pie. Corn on the cob. Potato salad. Things like that.
8. I don't want to do any more big house projects for awhile.

discuss with me
All right, so the season finale of The Office was a major, bummed out, buzz-killing disappointment. As m pointed out, the first 39 minutes were kind of fantastic, my favorite storyline in particular being Kevin as a passably "special" employee. Toby's exit was well-played, though we hope they check in with him next year in Costa Rica. His replacement offers all sorts of potential as a love interest for Michael, and for yet another personality for Michael to play off of; this chick is oddly like his mirror. I didn't really notice Andy being in the episode, and then, there he was. Stealing Jim's proposal thunder, and that's where it all went downhill. First J.Lo and I thought Jim would be fired just prior to proposing, and that would screw it up, but he brilliantly overthrew the coked-up, belligerent Ryan. They way the proposal botch did go down, however, was maybe the worst way they could have popped that happy bubble. Jim had it all set up, contributing the fireworks and such to Toby's going-away party, settling on an at-work setting for the proposal because work is where Jim and Pam have had all their "firsts." But then Andy steps up out of nowhere, taking advantage of the same perfect moment and proposing to Angela, who says yes in a sort of disgruntled way, and then is spied later "making up" with Dwight. I appreciate the revival of their storyline, think it also has lots of potential. But the Michael Scott storyline totally bummed me out as well, because really? Jan is pregnant, but by a sperm bank donor? I mean it was believable and yet almost over-the-line mean. Because as much of a tool as Michael can be, he seems like he'd actually make a pretty good father... As odd as that sounds. And it was just sort of horrible to see him crawling back to Serenity by Jan and supporting her baby treachery, simply because it's the closest he's going to get to the real thing. I kind of cannot stand Jan.
I'm sorely disappointed that Jim and Pam didn't get officially engaged, but I reserve final judgment until the fifth season premiere. The writers, brilliant as they are, can save this, should save it. Must save it. Somehow they need to turn the lost moment on its head and satisfy that huge romantic buildup for viewers. The story can't all be sunshine and roses, even in a comedy, but on some things, a payoff is non-negotiable. Jim and Pam's engagement is one of these instances. Turk and Carla over at Scrubs give me hope that they won't drag this out yet another season with all sorts of horrible tension between them, that they will just get married and live happily ever after, that the writers can step up and maintain an interesting storyline about the Married Jim & Pam... because frankly I can't take it if they break up, or even remain the same.
Dear Writers of The Office,
My Happy Jim & Pam Bubble has been burst. Please repair anon.
Sincerely Yours,
Moving on to ANTM, Whitney was awarded the win, making her the show's first full-figured Top Model. Fatima got the boot first, thus making Kim and I dance for joy, and so Whitney and Anya battled it out. You're going to ask me if I think Whitney was chosen because she is a plus-sized model, and my answer to that is yes. Absolutely, yes. Don't get me wrong, I like Whitney, I think she had enough talent as a model to deserve the win, I think it's cool to see a plus-sized girl in there, it's great. I wasn't even bothered as much throughout the season at her alleged fakeness, because I kind of enjoyed her valley-girlish snark and felt like she was sincerely a cool person even if she needed to work on her facade. But was she a better model than Anya? No. Not even close, really. I like Whitney enough that this finale wasn't a disappointment, per se, but I felt nearly as dumbfounded as when Danielle or "Dani" was crowned over Joanie, or when Naima was declared winner instead of Kahlen. To me it just didn't feel quite "right." I feel like the judges knew they might not ever again get a chance to crown a plus-size girl, so they seized the moment before them. Whitney did deserve to be in the Final Two over Fatima and most definitely over HTM (Hot Tranny Mess) Dominique, but to win over the stunning, born-to-model Anya? Not so much. The consolation is that Whitney will make a cool Cover Girl, and Anya will certainly have a career. She's young, and it doesn't seem like she's going to throw in the towel. Unlike Kahlen, because where the hell is she? Congrats, Whitney. Can't wait till the next cycle begins.

B-dog update
Once J.Lo took her to get the cast taken off, she was still pitiful, particularly with that shaved back leg and sewed-up incision now so exposed, but already she whimpered less. Because of the excessive vomitation, we severely cut back her original pain med regimen and waited to see if that helped.
She woke up in the morning much more spry, much more Bender, and ate. Whimpered not at all, really, and has been putting some weight on the bum leg. She is not allowed to run, really should stay off the stairs and couch as much as possible, and K.Lo the Two-Year-Old Tornado of Destruction should definitely stay away from Bender and that leg, but in the end, I think she's going to be okay. She's already barked and thrashed her head around a little at the Old Guy Next Door, and dropped a tennis ball at my feet, as if I were actually going to throw it. We're taking care of her the best we can, with J.Lo doing the saintly work, me taking on the better part of the Day Shift, Bailey being the loyal best friend, and K.Lo tossing in her own words of comfort now and again, something about the Boo-Boo Leg and Feeling Better Soon. Love ya, Bender. I think you might just make it through.

Weird Facts Wednesday
yes, you guessed it, the MIGHTY OSTRICH. (their eyes are 2"across)
This last week I've learned about: how horses see, muscle makeup of gorillas (again), fish harness equipment for deep sea fishing, antlers, bulls, their horns, polar bears, their bouyancy.
Bonus FACT:
How many deaths have occurred at the running of the bulls in Pamplona Spain since 1924?
When was the last death? 2003 (an expert runner, 63)... the most dramatic and only american to die however was in 1995- gored straight thru and he was only 22.
In Other News, by M
Besides that, my over exuberance to purchase my planetix left me blowing off LAX in favor of burbank, without doublechecking, which is only 5min away vs. 40-- and costing myself oh, roughly, $168 more. Sure I cut down on early wake times, and 1.5hours of 405drivetime and $8 for no flyawayshuttle (plus time waiting) service... but still I can't help but feel the sting.
I keep thinking there must be something else to report but hopefully no. Just idle complaints about how my brother who is now married with child thinks that because I'm single, my trip is less debt worthy, than oh lets say the enormous debt incurred by children... what-EVER. Whatever to that. As he says, have you paid off x, y, z... and I'm thinking, oh so your house and CC is paid off and NOW you're having a child. Oh, okay. NOT. Fucking married people and their anti-single bias bullshit.
Alright I'm stopping now.
Tomorrow I'll report on all the warm fuzzy thoughts of 32.

mendacious: an astrological BIRTHDAY salute
Actually you tend to take a perverse pleasure in being stubborn and thwarting others. You are not flighty and it takes some time to gain your interest in things, but once you are, you are devoted. [Yup.] This can extend to ideas, people and material possessions. This can lead you to be very possessive, jealous and selfish of what you are devoted to. You love your luxuries. You take great sensual pleasure in most of your undertakings. Although your not the type to sweep anyone off their feet, you have a definite romantic side- more of a wine and dine and seduction-after-dinner style. [Yowza!] You probably have never experienced love at first sight, but once you love, it is a deep and steady love and usually lasts forever.
You make a fantastic loyal and steady friend, lover, parent or whatever you put your mind to. You are slow to anger, taking most things in stride, but once you do get mad- watch out world. [Oooo.] The home is very important to you because it offers you stability- a place where you know just everything and how it will be. You don't like to change and sudden things tend to upset you. You like what is comfortable and familiar. Security is important to you and thus so is money. [Money, schmoney.] In these matters you are very practical and can save up money with seeming ease. You are generous with loved ones, but when you don't like someone it is as if they don't exist at all. [Hee hee, I like that one.] To you they don't because they have no value. You can be judgmental.
The lessons of a Taurus is to learn not to make value judgments on others. You tend to see value only in a material way, ignoring the more spiritual aspects of life. [Well, I don't see that, but okay. Clearly we're not foolproof here.] Other lessons of a Taurus is to respect other peoples will and to recognize that love is not about possessing another person.
Their deep-seated need for transformation and rebirth can manifest itself in the lives of Lunar Scorpios in different ways. Most have powerful, emotionally intense lives. Some feel like it is beyond their control -- these natives seem to attract emotional upheaval, and their lives appear to consist of plenty of dramatic ups and downs. However, when accepted as an emotional need, rebirth and change doesn't need to be so dramatic and overwhelming. In some way or the other, Moon in Scorpio natives seek out intense experiences. [Central America! 28 days!] If their lives are regular in any way, there can be an unconscious need to test their own strength and stir up emotional excitement. Self-awareness and acceptance is probably the best way to handle this deep need for emotional drama. [Word.]
Doing things halfway or having meaningless relationships simply doesn't fulfill them. Lunar Scorpios want all or nothing. [Yes.]
Moon in Scorpio people often have a strong fear of betrayal. They seek out commitment, and feel the need for a partner to give up something for them. Some will put the people they love through a series of tests, and these are not always conscious. [Wait--wha?] Their apparent suspicion can be trying for the people who love them. However, once committed, Moon in Scorpio people can be the most loyal and protective partners around. [Mm-hmm. Agreed.]
Even the shy ones have enormous presence. Their lives are emotion-driven, yet many Moon in Scorpio natives spend a lot of time controlling and mastering their emotions. Their intuition is enormous, although it is sometimes self-serving.
Moon in Scorpio people radiate strength. [Yuppers.] Even in the absence of experience, they seem to "just know" things. It would be difficult to shock or scare away Lunar Scorpios in the face of emotional honesty and power. Some people instinctively want to lean on them, and other less brave folk run a little scared. [Don't run guys! Stick around, it's worth it!] Lunar Scorpios have exceptional "radar" that allows them to size up a situation--and a person--quickly and expertly. This ability to understand human motivation and nature can be too close for comfort for some, and enormously comforting for others.
Many Lunar Scorpios are intelligent and astute. Those that use their enormous powers for intimacy and honesty are the happiest, and they make the most interesting and rewarding friends and lovers.
Keywords: Impatient, Tactile, Opportunistic, Wants beauty and value, Appreciates all the senses
Slow, steady, and capable are adjectives that we can safely attach to individuals born with a Taurus Ascendant. These natives have tremendous stamina and staying power. They're often quite loyal to those they care about. Although they generally don't come on strong, they have personal presence; and they fairly radiate stability.
The sign on the Ascendant generally reveals how people start anything new. Taurus, by nature, is resistant to change. It can be difficult to sway Taurus rising natives--they're often rather stubborn and fixed in their ways. Their first responses are to feel things out, not in the way a Pisces might attune to their environment [wha?], but in the realm of the five senses. [Yup, yup.] They have well-developed sense of smell and touch, and respond to the material world. Theirs is a practical approach to life. Security is one of their foremost considerations before undertaking anything new.
Taurus rising natives are often quite cautious and careful. With a fixed sign on the Ascendant, they are not known for their flexibility. Rather, they possess determined single-mindedness. [No...]
More than most, Taurus rising prefers the "good things" in life. Self-indulgence can be a weakness for many with this Ascendant. Often collectors in some way, Taurus rising natives place a lot of value on their material possessions.
Taurus rising individuals prefer to dress in quality clothes with a comfortable feel to them. They are rarely ostentatious in their presentation. Many have strong and sturdy physiques.
Often rather possessive in partnership, these natives won't easily break up their relationships. Although they are not particularly jealous, they view their partners as their personal property. [Huh! That's funny.] Intensity and loyalty are especially important to Taurus rising natives. [Yes.] These are highly sensual people who prefer the comforts that a one-to-one, stable partnership offers. Although Taurus rising individuals value harmony and calm, their partnerships may be on the passionate side.
Taurus rising natives are often very comforting to be around. They have a stability about them that is soothing, and an inner harmony that is attractive. [Awww. So true.]

Hike #2, by M
After a long hike, then lunch, we read a book aloud about this girl who meets this baby whale, we laid in the grass, watched Arsenic and Oldlace, I started a new artpiece and for dinner I had non-trainer approved chicken strips, and my mom ate peas out of a can. I can't describe how off-kilter it seemed, still seems, but at least in some sort of apocalyptic shelter situation she would definitely not be the one complaining. If only for the sunlight. That's her Achillis. Overall it seemed a successful mothers day...

airy-fairy naval-gazing that you should totally partake in
|You are idealistic, with strong likes and dislikes. You are a thinker with strong needs for originality. You also tend to view the world in an unconventional light. You are often determined, cautious, quiet, as well as philosophical. Others often perceive you as refined, pleasant and generous. You have radical ideas that are looked upon as eccentric.
|You are an interesting mix of introspective and outlandish.
Waving your freak flag high, you really do things your own way.
While you may seem distant, you care very deeply for humanity.
You just have no tolerance for fools, slackers, or dullards.
And while you're fairly misanthropic, many are drawn to you.
Innovative and clever, people look to you for new ideas and trends.

Weird Facts Wednesday
Just for you: Sharks pee through their skin, and they smell heavily of ammonia when they're dead. Also Horses can kick with a force equal to 1ton of pressure. For instance a small colt, can bend a quarter in 1/2 quite easily with a play kick.
Today I feel like a sturdy 11x14 piece of paper on a small brightly colored table. There are cups of even more brightly colored paints. If I had eyes I would be shifting apprehensively. As it is a breeze lifts the left corner of the paper and then it settles back down again...

*N.Lo yakking, said yak hitting the floor.
*K.Lo, having a pee accident, said accident hitting the floor. (I guess it's more of a "splash" than a "splat," but you get the picture.)
*Me painting, and I've splattered again. The splatter is typically followed by me stepping in it, tracking the paint everywhere.
Splats mean cleanup, a major decline in efficiency, and a general feeling of annoyance/discomfort/disorder. Monk would have a fit. The worst is when I have more than one possibility occuring at once; it happens more often than you might think.
Consider me ANTI-SPLAT, until we have moved on to the next phase of existence.

So I've signed up to work a weekly overnight shift with a women's crisis safe house near where I live. The first four weeks are just the volunteers sitting around discussing feminist theory (which has been awesome, btw — it's a really great group of people, particularly the organizers). After that, we'll be doing hands-on training at the house and then we'll be on shift for about 4 months.
I've been meaning to do something like this for a while because I'd like to actually do something other than be a bit of a keyboard warrior. That said, I'm also worried about crossing the line of intent. I don't think I'm going to end up being someone who will gush to Binky at the Christmas party about how rewarding and special it all was to "give back." And that's not what I want to get out of it, either. But I feel slightly worried about coming off as a Noble White Lady, rather than someone who does just want to become more involved with women in need within my city/region.
I'm not sure this is a coherent request, but if anyone does understand what I'm asking/feeling, I'd appreciate people letting me know how to avoid being a bad stereotype.
ETA: One bad basic white girl confession: when they described the overnight shifts, I immediately thought, "It'll be like Call the Midwife."
@ me.

California Democrat Maxine Waters warned supporters on Wednesday of possible "armed protests" by the Oath Keepers organization, which she described as "an anti-government militia" that has conducted armed protests across the country.
The group, founded by Yale Law graduate Stuart Rhodes, bills itself as an association of non-partisan current and former military officers, cops and first responders and notably provided disaster relief to Texas, Louisiana and Puerto Rican hurricane victims. They also have a policy to physically remove any white supremacists from their rallies – but they do like their guns.
On Tuesday, the group issued a "call to action" against Waters, urging members to prepare for as many as several weeks of protests in the Los Angeles area.
Waters, 79, warned her supporters against being "baited" into confrontations or counter-demonstrations with the group, which she said has a track record of "violent and provocative behavior." She also urged her protesters not to come out on the same date and time as the Oath Keepers planned protests.
"I am requesting those individuals and groups planning a counter-protest to not be baited into confronting the Oath Keepers with any demonstrations in opposition … Such an occurrence would only exacerbate tensions and increase the potential for conflict."
"The Oath Keepers would like nothing more than to inflame racial tensions and create an explosive conflict in our community," Waters said. "The group is known to protest in military-style clothing while carrying various assault weapons."
Waters ignited tensions last month when she called for supporters to physically confront Trump administration officials when she said: "If you see anybody from that Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd and you push back on them, and you tell them they're not welcome anymore, anywhere."
The California Democrat walked back her call to action, telling reporters in June "I believe in peaceful, very peaceful protests … I have not called for the harm of anybody. This president has lied again when he's saying that I've called for harm."
Waters noted in her statement that the Los Angeles Police Department would be on site Thursday "to ensure safety and security."
"This is the launch of an ongoing protest that may go on for several weeks. Other patriotic groups are welcome to join us," the group said in a statement. "This is both a protest against Maxine Waters' incitement of terrorism, and a stand for ICE and the Border Patrol, as they enforce the perfectly constitutional immigration and naturalization laws of this nation."

Maxine Waters is lying and trying to stir up her base to cause trouble in her statement. The Oathkeepers are the furthest from being anti-government and being armed is preposterous.
I was extended an invitation to attend this protest which they stated would be peaceful. https://t.co/Xol0CW1RMK

How can it be that I have too much time on my hands and at the same time: not enough. I spent the morning catching up on blogs that I subscribe to, reading daily posts and even their writings from the past few days. I've read the many comments and replies then made my own comments to these thoughtful posts. I was even pulled back in time into the 'pingworld'; so interested in what I read that I needed to research comments from the past to make my thoughtful comments of today. It was a wonderful morning.
Now, I am behind on everything else that is pulling me. My own post of the day. My household chores. As the weather has come above freezing, I need to battle the ants that have invaded the indoors. While I am also, being pulled out into the garden to turn more dirt and prepare for planting. What about putting on some music opening the window's and doing some 'Spring Cleaning'? I'll be putting that off till the temperatures rise a bit higher.
As the stupid groundhog was incorrect or should I say: as Mother Nature has chosen to dip that Canadian jet stream down over New York, planting the early crop has been delayed.
I was planning on taking the 'freshie' to the Bronx Zoo this weekend but instead with the cool forecast above freezing but not reaching 50′ my time is best spent planting: spinach, sugar snap peas, and green beans. I had been waiting for the first full weekend of the month to visit the zoo having found a promotion offer for free admission. I hope the 'freshie' won't mind waiting till the first weekend in May, perhaps by then we will have temperatures closer to 70′, more welcoming to a day's stroll through the zoo.
Bronx Zoo: Saving Wildlife and Wild Places
I also have plans to start some crops indoors. I have done this before without success, forgetting to water frequently enough. But as I've mentioned in an earlier post: I have big plans for the garden this year.
What are your plans for the Spring?

HCM CITY (VNS) — Though 87 per cent of Vietnamese see fuel efficiency as being important, three quarters admit they do not know how to save fuel, according to a new study released yesterday.
With 64 per cent saying they feel anxious about how best to save fuel, a collection of peculiar fuel-saving myths have arisen: 85 per cent warm up their engine before setting off to make them more fuel efficient, while 41 per cent think filling up at night does the same trick.
Ninety seven per cent drive slowly all the time to save fuel while 83 per cent keep their engine running to avoid frequent restarts.
The Shell Fuel Efficiency Fact or Fiction Report, which analyses the behaviour of 1,000 Vietnamese drivers aged 18 to 40, uncovers the extraordinary lengths Vietnamese are willing to go in order to save fuel and cut driving costs.
Tran Hong Van, general manager of Shell Viet Nam, said: "The Shell Fuel Efficiency Fact or Fiction Report shows just how important saving fuel has become to motorists along with the incredible ways they try to be more fuel efficient. Some of the beliefs revealed through the study were actually wasting fuel rather than helping to conserve it."—VNS

If you are an artist of any kind, you'll know this feeling. Suddenly nothing works. Everything you draw turns out like crap. You longingly think back to those wonderful days – maybe just two weeks ago – when everything you touched just magically turned out brilliant.
Welcome to Art Slump!
I go through those about twice a year. It's become easier in recent years as I've found faith in the fact that these things pass. All of their own accord without you doing anything. Most often in recent years, the slump happened at times when I didn't have time to draw anyway. And the funny thing is: Just wait for that slump to pass. You don't even have to actually draw fifty crappy pictures before the next one turns out fine. You can just not draw them, wait a week or month, and bang! There you are.
The tragic thing is when an art slump catches you in the one week of the entire year where you have unlimited time to draw and loads of ideas. Which was last week. And nothing, literally nothing worked, as no less than six ripped-up Maglors in the dustbin can attest. (In all likelihood, they're sitting there like the late princes of Stormhold from Stardust, discussing my failures.)
I've had a lot of lively discussions with fellow artists over the years, and it's always a small consolation to find that you're not alone with this. It's not only that you're not alone, you'd be a complete oddity if it did not happen to you.
A wonderful artist, Marc Dalessio, has put this into a very candid graph that is to true I couldn't believe it when I first found it. It says that every artist's perception of his own skill meanders around his actual progress, resulting in times where he's completely in the flow and everything works, and those other times, where he feels he's going backwards and whatever he touches turns to… well, you know. The reverse Midas touch. It happens because your ability to see improves faster than your actual skill, you know you want it to look like that, and you just can't get it to.
So, if you know this feeling and feel frequently down because of it, take a look at this graph and take heart. It'll be over soon. And pray that the holidays don't end before the curve picks up speed.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) – A woman who appeared to be intoxicated was removed from an American Airlines flight in Nashville on Tuesday afternoon.

Variations: If you do not have access to gluten free noodles and need a gluten free option simply use rice! Be sure your spices are also gluten free- particularly the bouillon may have additives.

text: Hiya guys! My name is Chinenye. Art and expression have been a huge interest for me since I was a timid little girl. From the early days of sitting in front of my father's boxy desktop computer and mindlessly typing my emotions away to doodling on my notebook during less-than-exciting classes. My writing has been mainly personal and has mostly been buried within pages of notepads and journals I swear to complete. Marking my twentieth year on the Planet, I will unearth fragments of my thoughts and feelings in the hope that someone somewhere can feel good about them. I'll also be sharing my other inspirations cut across various facets including Writing, Style, Photography and Expression.

This is a Guest Post
Famous for its trance-parties, Anjuna beach in Goa is a haven for free-spirited travellers. Situated in North Goa, Anjuna boasts of tourist attractions like Shiva Valley and Curlies Beach Shack. Another major attraction of Anjuna is its flea market, a colourful bazaar that is open every Wednesday between the months of October and April. The market came into existence in the late 1960s by some European hippies to earn money by selling small articles as part of a barter system.
There's a bohemian feel to this day-long market, so you should set aside an entire day to explore its many offerings. It showcases handicrafts and wooden wares from Tibetan artists, beautiful wall hangings, trans music CDs, posh beach frocks made from saris, Kashmiri decor, and much more. Whether you wish to take a souvenir home or are looking for pretty artificial jewellery, this flea market has something for everyone.
Jazz up your Wardrobe
If you have seen someone wearing really funky T-shirts with some artwork or famous artists painted over them and wanted one for yourself, you must visit Anjuna flea market. You can also buy some junk jewelry, jackets, scarves, tote bags, sunglasses and more. Booking cheap flights to Goa via ixigo is easier with online travel websites, so get on one and shop to your heart's contentment at Anjuna.
Get beautiful Tribal, Ethnic pieces
The market is filled with tribal jewelry, artefacts, and handicrafts. What's most interesting is to watch the beautiful tribal women that sell their goods. There are terracotta art pieces, traditional umbrellas, ethnic dresses and more that you can spend on.
Buy something for the Kitchen
There are many variants of tea that can be bought at the Anjuna Flea Market. Some varieties that you can spend some money on are, chocolate, mango, green mango, strawberry, banana, vanilla, jasmine, mint, pineapple, orange and even a special Goan tea flavour. Tea is not grown in Goa, rather brought in from the North East. There are also many Indian spices that are on sale, which is a must-buy when you are in the market.
Beautify yourself with some Body-art
Getting a tattoo done is one of the most commonplace things in most of the markets in Goa. If you want something different, you can spend on hair art, where they skillfully and beautifully weave tiny braids. You can also get your hands temporarily painted with henna.
Spend on trance/EDM CDs
All around the market, you can hear the thrilling techno/trance music playing. There are also many shops selling CDs of the same genre of music. What's even better is that people selling these CDs readily give you a small session of music and help you buy your CDs that have music of your preference.
Gorge on Goan Food
Anjuna Flea market is not really known as a foodie's paradise, but if you explore a little more, you will find typical Goan shacks and stalls at the end of the market, where you can indulge in some sumptuous servings, fresh from the sea.

A Classic Romance
- Bewertet: Einband: Taschenbuch
"It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife."

Pride and Prejudice is one of my favourite novels by Jane Austen and also one of my favourite romances. Every time I read it I fall in love with it all over again. Even though I always know what happens next I still enjoy this book very much. I love the very first sentence, the first scene with Mr and Mrs Bennet and I love the five, very different sisters Lizzie, Jane, Lydia, Kitty, and Mary. I love to read about Darcy's and Lizzie's first encounter and their bad first impressions of each other. It's also very fun every time around how Darcy slowly falls in love with Elizabeth, even though he tries to resist it. How Lizzie gets ruffled up about Darcy amuses me very much. The scene with Darcy's proposal is the most fun, in my opinion. I could go on and on about all the things that I love but it would be easier and quicker if you just read the book. Lizzie is charmingly snarky and sarcastic, also very quick witted. She is one of my favoutite heroines. At first, she is quick to judge and is opposed to change a preformed opinion of somebody or something. But Lizzie's character grows very much and watching that happening warms my heart with every reread. Her relationship with her dad is also very heartwarming. "An unhappy alternative is before you, Elizabeth. From this day you must be a stranger to one of your parents. Your mother will never see you again if you do not marry Mr. Collins, and I will never see you again if you do." Darcy is a stuck-up, arrogant snob - or so it seems. He actually has a big heart and cares very much about the people he loves and, damn, he has some killer romantic lines in this book. "You are too generous to trifle with me. If your feelings are still what they were last April, tell me so at once. My affections and wishes are unchanged; but one word from you will silence me on this subject for ever." One thing that irks me, though, and that is except Mrs Bennet (I know, she only wants the best for her daughters but, man, that woman annoys the hell out of me!), is the characterization of Lydia. She is young and carefree and very immature but I don't like how Lydia is characterized so shallowly. I would've loved to see some character growth in her but maybe I'm just biased because in an adaptation of P&P Lydia grows so much and she is one of my favourite characters in that adaptation. P&P will forever be on of my favourite books of all time, I will treasure it and reread it whenever I can! "I cannot fix on the hour, or the spot, or the look or the words, which laid the foundation. It is too long ago. I was in the middle before I knew that I had begun." 5 stars, 'cause what else?!
