See also: Throwback Thursday: Green Day's Dookie
Ronald Reagan's wars, both on drugs and against the "evil empire," made the '80s a prime time to be a punk band. The scene was ripe in California, notably in the Bay Area, as 924 Gilman Street opened and crossover genres exploded in popularity.
At the heart of it all was seminal ska/punk band Operation Ivy, which performed just under 200 shows over the course of a two-year lifespan.
When the band imploded, Tim Armstrong and Matt Freedman formed Rancid, and enjoyed a long, fruitful career. But guess what? Operation Ivy is better than Rancid, and it always will be.
We can't help but wonder where Operation Ivy would be now if they stuck together.
Would they be a Warped Tour headliner like Rancid, or would they go the way of fellow former Lookout! band Green Day and end up writing rock operas? Watching a kid with guyliner sing "Healthy Body, Sick Mind" seems unlikely, though the band would have had plenty of inspiration from the Bush administration to keep pushing.
When the band broke up, Tim Armstrong and Matt Freeman started Rancid, and Jesse Michaels started Common Rider. Michaels now performs in Classics of Love and does advocacy work for homeless youth, while Tim Armstrong maintains Rancid and occasionally performs with Eagles-member Joe Walsh and roots reggae icon Jimmy Cliff.
But in a dual, guess which band comes out on top, Rancid or Op Ivy. No contest, and here's why:
Operation Ivy never put out a crappy record.
Op Ivy's only full length album is Energy, and later pressings included th Hectic EP and some compilation tracks. Rancid is best known for ...And Out Come The Wolves, and some newer material that's probably best forgotten.
Though there are no reunion plans, Operation Ivy ended on an inspiration note, one that still rings true and influences young bands to this day.
Just read the liner notes for Rancid's "Journey to the End of East Bay"-
Started in '87, Ended in '89, Got a garage or an amp, we'll play anytime. It was just the four of us, Yeah man the core of us, Too much attention unavoidably destroyed us. Four kids on tour, 3,000 miles, in a four door car, not knowing what was going on. Not in a million years, never thought it'd turn out like this, Hell no, no premonition could have seen this!
Operation Ivy had a staunch independent approach.
Gilman Street banned musicians left and right for being sell outs. Operation Ivy disbanded before that could be the case, and still sticks to the same principles.
"[We] never belonged in a big rock club in a one to two thousand seat joint," said Michaels in a MySpace blog post, so don't count on seeing the band at Marquee Theatre any time soon.
Operation Ivy pioneered skacore.
Combining ska and punk is nothing new. The Clash and Bad Brains (look at that dancing) did it long before Tim Armstrong and Jesse Michaels even considered playing music, but Operation Ivy's influence on the genre is unmistakable. Without them, Sublime may have ended up sounding more like Bob Marley and Leftover Crack and Against All Authority may have never existed.
Operation Ivy was partially a ska band, but they performed ska that was easy for punk bands to swallow. They weren't just another band that sounded like The Mighty Mighty Bosstones; they played punk music with upstroked guitars that was, chiefly, fun dancing music.
Lyrical content: "Unity, as one stick together!"
Rancid touches on political issues as well, but songs about dead bodies and some girl named Ruby who cries a lot seem to stick out the most. Operation Ivy tackled real issues (the band is named after a nuclear test), as well as the music scene and girls, never losing its sing along choruses and catchy beats.
Jesse Michaels is a better singer.
Rancid may have inherited the mohawks, raspy voice, and badass bass guitar, but Common Rider received the melodic voiced lyricist. It's a shame that Common Rider never obtained the same level success as Rancid, but like Operation Ivy, that's what makes them special.

The band made a hobby out of jumping into bushes.

There's a saying that goes 'Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication,' and I can't argue with that. Simplicity is key to anything. You can go as big and grandiose as you want but at the end of the day, simplicity beats it all.
In Africa, many of us thrive to succeed in whatever we do. We may not have everything the white man invented or all the technological supplies modern-day countries have and this gives us motivation to create our own and do the best we could witth wthat we have, as many of you have seen so many things in different African countries, that peopple replace by what they originally are.
In Kinshasa, there are so many things that people create that the naked eye would not believe, like for instance the basic TV satellite, some university students here recreated it using only simple materials such as a small margarine box, a plastic plate, adhesive tape and two antennas, and guess what? It's a huge success. There are so many other things similar.
Amidst the streets of Kinshasa, you'd hear clinking noises literally every two minutes. If you're not familiar with it, it sounds like two bottles or glasses clinking, and if you look, there's a man responsible for making that sound. That same person is the solution to all your problems. Nah, just kidding! But for a part it is.
Imagine that you have no time to get a manicure and pedicure or you're in rush and you just can't do it yourself or don't have the right tools, or you're busy working on a project that you have to submit the following day, and you still need to get your nails done? Then not to worry, problem solved. There's a young man right outside your door waiting to work on those hand or toenails of yours.
I was surprised when I first saw him but when I tried I was actually staring in awe at the great job he has done. This time, I decided to show you the experiment on one of his clients. She was in a rush that day and wanted to get her legs neatly done before going out. As soon as she heard him outside, we called him and he came in, ready to work. She sat on a chair, while he sat on an empty milk box that he carries around, and he immediately got to work. With only a few tools, he did a great job, cleaning those nails and removing unecessary extra dead skin, then filing the nails to give them a good looking shape, then finished off by applying the nail polish of her choice, which was red at the time and tadam, mission accomplished!
That young man has no previous experience or gone to an expensive esthetician school, but learned the job by practicing. He's always walking around with his bags which contain his tools, but mainly work with only three, a nail file, nail scissors and nail polish remover. Before starting, he usually places the feet on top of two small bottles to kind of elevate them and be able to work properly. Then, file them, cut if needed and remove your old nail polish. I was amazed yet again as I watched him work his magic on this lovely lady in the pictures you see and how fast he had been.
The prices are unbelievably low. It's usually 500 FC for both hands or feet which costs less than $1 and if you add extra nails, then you add an additional 500 and it's a closed deal.
Now you needn't worry about anything if you're either tight on money or the clock is against you. If you just get outside your home gate or look through the window and shout 'Manzaka' or 'Vernis' they will come right to your door step and start polishing those hands and feet.

Cat Caught Exposing Himself In Store Blames Tight Underwear
Edmonds, WA
A local cat is facing charges after he was caught following another cat in a grocery store and then exposing and fondling himself, according to police.
A checkout clerk at the Edmonds QFC on 196th noticed the cat walking back and forth between some potatoes and strawberries in the produce section. He told police in a statement that he had never seen the cat in the store before and decided to keep an eye on him.
The clerk said the cat at first lingered in the bakery area, eating free cookie and donut samples, and then began following a female cat around the store, watching her touch and feel watermelon.
Izzy was groping watermelon at the Edmonds QFC
The clerk said his jaw dropped to the floor as the cat dropping his pants, fondled himself and then pulled his pants back up.
The clerk, still in shock, contacted police, who promptly arrived at the store and arrested the cat. The cat, Boris Peabody, is a 7-year-old, neutered, Domestic Short Hair, who has never had a run-in with the law.
The female cat did not see what the cat had been doing because he was hidden behind a large Heinz ketchup kiosk. She simply chose her melon and went on to the bulk foods section.
Izzy had no idea she was being watched by some creep
"I had no idea what was going on," said the cat, Izzy, a 1-year-old, spayed, Domestic Short Hair of the exposure. "One minute I was grabbing some nuts and the next the police were there asking me if I saw what he did."
"He came from this direction, to this spot and he walked back there and he stopped and went like this…" A witness (who was then also arrested for indecency) explained as he showed police exactly how the cat exposed himself.
Boris, who refused to be interviewed by the Gazette, said he did not intentionally expose himself to the unsuspecting female cat and blamed his European-style underwear, which he claimed was too tight, according to police documents.
This grocery clerk was quick to notify police
"I want cameras in here," said the grocery clerk who reported the incident, exhibiting concern for the safety of his customers. "I think it would be good for the common areas and so I can record it if it happens again."
Boris has been charged with one count of disorderly conduct and giving false information to a police officer. He was not charged with indecent exposure because the grocery clerk thought he had a nice ass.

Dudley Catchmouse, 12 year old neutered gray short hair, said he'd never seen such a vicious attack in all his years. "It was relentless!" he said, as a crowd gathered to hear his eye witness account "It kept coming back and wouldn't let up! That poor human, didn't stand a chance!"

Our spies have caught the first pictures of the 2013 Ford Focus RS undergoing testing near the Nürburgring.
While we patiently await the arrival of the 2012 Ford Focus ST, our spies have caught the car's more powerful brother undergoing testing near the Nürburgring.
Dubbed Megan and Fox II - does someone at Ford have a crush? - the prototypes are early development mules which feature RS-branded sport seats, a center-mounted dual exhaust system and unique alloy wheels that cover a high-performance braking system.
Additional information is limited, but previous reports have indicated the Focus RS could use a hybrid powertrain that pairs a 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine with a rear axle electric motor. This would give the car an all-wheel setup as well as approximately 300 bhp (224 kW / 304 PS).

Going to try and shorten this as it seems there are only a few things we disagree on now.I disagree with you and I figured my lazy example would be enough for you to understand the point I was trying to get across, so I will reattempt. Right now, seeing a health bar mandates 1 (per unit) or multiple clicks. A click is an action (like P or peons), an action alters game play by freeing up time/physical clicks and thoughts for other actions. So, hypothetically, because I'm not doing these things anymore (with the hypothetical health bar mod) I keep my choke more (1 of many examples, feel free to ask for more). If I do it the way we do it now, maybe my choke breaks because a grunt was weak and I missed it. Now, he gets in my base, and now I have to do a whole mess of other things to defend, which snowball the rest of the game. That is a HUGE effect on game play that you are failing to realize.
This is not simply just a visual. You are widely underestimating the feature. They are related, yes at different extremes, but they are indeed related and the fact that you don't realize what 1 click can do in this game is a bit concerning. Seconds/split seconds are very important. Like you said, it doesn't matter (Health Bars mod not there) but there is your better example to prove my point and to demonstrate your ignorance on this matter.This also explains my other "silly example"s that you referred to and how they are, while more extreme, absolutely relevant. I am against (most) game play changing mods. That is not some big umbrella you are making it out to be, it's simple, game play, things that directly effect the game while you play...... Example: Not pre game mods, or watcher mods, or chat room, end game stats, map view, etc mods.
Hey, guys, while we are at it, it is very difficult to make peons early game consistently while microing and gaying, can we please make a mod for auto peons? I would also like auto peon management, the correct peons on wood and gold at all times please. Wouldn't mind auto attack after X grunts at a rax. I mean, we already have the double click hack we somehow allow (still baffled), why not made a mod so I can lust all 9 in one second? Also, a dk radar so I know when a dk is approaching my base so I can pull peons. Auto pull too, why not. That would be much easier. Oh, that would just destroy the game.
Let me explain the chop situation to you since you don't understand the value of the chop even though you like to condescendingly try to explain it to me. Evidence: "IMO The only time the chop bars plugin can actually be a real advantage is when you want to pull a peon off lumber to build something, then you can choose the one that has been chopping the least amount of time."
If I choose to chop out of my base. Especially early game, I absolutely count the chops in my head. This way I know when to go back and close before I get raped by grunts sitting outside my base waiting to see a chop. Seconds matter. Do I count the 51 to the exact chop? Hell no, but I look around 45ish, knowing it will be any second and that I will naturally be off count. You don't have to be super smart to count to 45.Chopping into someones base while doing other things is another time I count. When I'm doing something or upgrading something that can be foiled by my opponents chop, I count to see if I need to cancel the building to block after he chops. Aka gays.The fact that you don't know this also shows you that, yes, you know less game play than more experienced players. People that often beat me, are more experienced and outsmart me, naturally. I am not some pro you painted me out to be. I am just above average on GOW. Swift/U8/Shotgun/00s/so many other people could tell you and me things about the game that we have no idea about, believe me.
"I honestly think that this very narrow focus and the arrogant "pro" attitude that goes with it has been, and continues to be, the single most detrimental thing to the health of the community as a whole. No, those people do not know the game better, that cliquey little scene is not "The Game". They do not own it any more than chop players, paintball players, the water map guys, free players or anyone else."I hear you, I was never a GOW player until RU, I wasn't even a EF player. Until 3-4ish years ago? I hated GOW. But in this instance, your argument has no base. You're saying GOWers don't get to dictate the game, yet I'm saying, you can't ignore GOWers as they are 1/2 of your population at this point in time. It's not 2001 anymore. If you do something that effects GOWers only and not the rest of the game, you cannot in good conscience implement it without pissing off 1/2 of the community.
You will have to deal with your hatred for now.
Quote from: Harrywangs on July 14, 2019, 04:03:40 PM I'm simply trying to maintain the integrity of the game with my opinion. When you say "a line showing up chopping progress" and diminish it, it really does demonstrate to me that you do not actually understand/underestimate the impact it will have.No I really do understand it, much better than you do, because you have never even tried it. Your condescension in that statement only highlights your ignorance in suggesting that just because I have not spent the last 20 years honing my reflexes and strategies around a single style of gameplay that somehow I do not understand game mechanics every bit as well as you do.Yeah, I already told you I did. War3 example in my answer.
You do not understand the game play as well as top GOWers. You need to realize that. I do not understand chop/paintball, I don't talk to it like I do. Humble yourself. [/b]
its gooder to hax hard and NEVER get caught!
The only thing people argue about is about enforcing it for everyone...Because someone said they wanted to enforce it (not lambchop) on everyone, people have instantly freaked out and raised their shields and started to argue about it.If the mods stay optional and people can tell when they are being used or not by others, no one can be really mad about it because you always have the option not to use them, and make sure people in your game don't use them either. So every one can play the way they want you are not removing the choice from the players.If you enforce it, then you will unnecessarily piss some people, you are also effectively removing an choice and an option / way the game can be played while we do not really need to.At least it seems lamb is on the same page as me on that one from what I've read these mods make the game rich because it gives us legit improvements and also because they are optional.More options is good how can it be bad, if you don't like it don't use it, haters that do not want these new options can always not use them and others can live their life happily too some may not use them but will totally accept that others do etc.Now for that to work we need a transparent way to tell when someone uses them, and on that later point yes lamb I think a chat message when entering lobby would work or a command or a flag on the status page or all of it are good ideas.The more we know the better

.. we want to attract new people an bring the game up to times with out changing the real mechanics an I don't think any of lambs updates changes any of that .. stop with the negativity an appreciate what he brings to the table freely please … and we all speak for our selves
The chop bars kind of blend in a lot anyways. Probably just me but in the last 3 or so days I have probably played around 60 games and I didn't even notice the chop bar until last night. I think the amount of time it takes to find the peons with less chops or ones about complete wouldn't be worth it the majority of the time.
You could maybe modify the game version number (if there is one) and then everyone who has the plugins can only join the games from those players who also got the plugins. This way no one who is using a plugin (that isn't accepted by everyone) could never sneak into a game from non-plugin users.I guess the main issue here is that some plugins are not really optional, you either must use it too or you have a disadvantage. Some players don't want to be forced to use it though, they like the game the way it is.
Honestly whether I am using the plugin or not I may be totally ok with people using it in the games I host or don't care, especially if the guy using them is pretty new its a good way to give them a small advantage vs a more experienced player that does not use the plugin.Now ofc if I know who uses it I can balance accordingly kinda based on how good people perform with it.If you force people to be excluded depending on if they have the same plugins activated or not you remove these options from the table.If the host does not want others to use a plugin they can always ask them not to and as soon as lamb makes it visible he will be able to tell if they have it on that is enough.But if the host does not care, which will be the case of most people out there imo, well he wont be impacted at all and can still play with everyone.

All right. My birthday is this month. And I really would not mind this cake. I heart Chanel.
This lovely cake (and other designer handbags as well) can be found at Pat-a-cake Parties
The second theme is just one of those odd fun ideas. This Staring Contest Event is from Totally Tabletops might work better as an intra-office gathering. Or really a fun event to host on a Saturday night.
This is such a great invite done up in the classic flyer style.
An example of the bracket created to keep track of who is winning the staring contest. I am going to make the argument now that staring contests may replace kickball and mustaches in the hipster world.
This is a party I am going to do in fall. This is sooooo inspiring. Big Big nod of the hat to Merriment Design. It also remind me of my husbands and my sad attempts thusly of infusing vodka. Note -- you should probably not use more than one habanero chili pepper when infusing vodka. Or Skittles. It just doesn't work.
Guests were invited to bring their own home-infused vodka. The winner would receive not only bragging right, but a terrific little trophy.
Each guest received a vodka tasting packet and voting tokens to reward their favorite creation.
As a party favor, the guests were provided with a hangover cure kit. The Merriment Design blog provides numerous templates and complete directions for the hangover kit.

ExoPlayer is a media player library for Android developed and maintained by Google, which provides an alternative to the Android's MediaPlayer. It comes with some added advantages over the default
MediaPlayer, including dynamic adaptive streaming over HTTP (DASH), smooth streaming and common Encryption. One of its greatest advantage, however, is its easy customization.
Considering the mobile constraints related to resources such as videos,
Exoplayer is an excellent choice for handling videos in your Android application.
ExoPlayer offers video buffering, in which the video is downloaded ahead of time so as to give the user a seamless experience. With
ExoPlayer, we can play videos either from our phone storage or from direct
URLs, as we will see later on.
In this ExoPlayer android tutorial article, we will show how ExoPlayer provide a display solution in combination with Cloudinary, which supports video management and transformation.
Uploading Videos & Manipulations
Cloudinary helps us manage our video resources in the cloud with a high-performance cloud-based storage. With Cloudinary, we can comfortably upload videos and transform them by just tweaking
URLs. Your videos are then delivered through fast Content Delivery Networks(CDNs) with advanced caching techniques. Let's take a look at how we can upload and manipulate videos with Cloudinary.
In our
AndroidManifest.xml, we insert our
<meta-data android:name="CLOUDINARY_URL" android:value="cloudinary://@CLOUDINARY_NAME"/>
You should replace
CLOUDINARY_NAME with the Cloudinary name found on your console. We then create an application class to initialize Cloudinary once throughout the app's lifecycle. Since the
AppController class is just initialized once, global variables are usually stored here.
import android.app.Application; import com.cloudinary.android.MediaManager; public class AppController extends Application { @Override public void onCreate() { super.onCreate(); // Initialize Cloudinary MediaManager.init(this); } }
In our
AndroidManifest.xml file, then we add our
AppController class as the name of the application tag:
Cloudinary offers unsigned and signed uploads. Signed uploads come with some added advantages, which require an API key. However, using an API key in an Android client is not recommended since it can easily be decompiled. For this reason, we will make use of the unsigned upload for this exoplayer android tutorial.
We first have to enable unsigned uploads in our console. Select settings on your dashboard, select the upload tab, scroll down to where you have upload preset, and enable unsigned uploading. A new preset will be generated with a random string as its name.
We then upload to Cloudinary by calling this:
MediaManager.get() .upload(videoUri) .unsigned("YOUR_PRESET") .option("resource_type", "video") .callback(new UploadCallback() { @Override public void onStart(String requestId) { } @Override public void onProgress(String requestId, long bytes, long totalBytes) { } @Override public void onSuccess(String requestId, Map resultData) { } @Override public void onError(String requestId, ErrorInfo error) { } @Override public void onReschedule(String requestId, ErrorInfo error) { } }).dispatch();
videoUri is of type
Uri. It represents the
Uri of a video stored in your phone, which looks like this:
YOUR_PRESET should be replaced with the string that was generated after enabling unsigned upload.
When an upload is successful, the
onSuccess method is called. This method provides us with the details of our upload, such as the
URL, the
public_url, which is the unique name of how the video is stored in Cloudinary. We will use the
public_url to make our transformations in this method. Here is our transformation snippet:
String publicUrl = = (String) resultData.get("public_url"); String transformedUrl = MediaManager.get().url() .transformation(new Transformation() .effect("fade:2000").chain() .effect("fade:-3000").chain() .effect("saturation:-50") .resourceType("video").generate(publicUrl+".mp4");
We added three effects to our video: a two second fade-in, a three-second fade-out, and finally, a drop in the saturation of the video. The fade-in is usually represented with a positive value and the fade-out with a negative value. A negative saturation value means our video will have a faded look. If we print out our
transformedUrl, it should look like this
Cloudinary offers many more transformations for our videos that you can learn about here.
Setting up ExoPlayer for your Android app
It is expected that you must have created an Android application, and for brevity, we won't go through the process of doing that here. To make use of the ExoPlayer library, we first insert the gradle dependency in our
build.gradle file:
If your gradle version is below 3.0, you should use the
compilekeyword instead of
implementationto add dependencies.
Sync your
gradle file so that the dependency will be downloaded and made available for the project. After that, we add the
SimpleExoPlayerView to our Activity layout file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="https://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:tools="https://schemas.android.com/tools" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="180dp" android:layout_margin="16dp"> <com.google.android.exoplayer2.ui.SimpleExoPlayerView android:id="@+id/exoplayer" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content"/> </LinearLayout>
In the corresponding Activity class, in the
onStart method, we will initialize our
SimpleExoPlayerView and setup the
SimpleExoPlayer by calling the
initializePlayer method:
initializePlayer method initializes our player with some standard default configurations to display videos seamlessly :
private void initializePlayer(){ // Create a default TrackSelector BandwidthMeter bandwidthMeter = new DefaultBandwidthMeter(); TrackSelection.Factory videoTrackSelectionFactory = new AdaptiveTrackSelection.Factory(bandwidthMeter); TrackSelector trackSelector = new DefaultTrackSelector(videoTrackSelectionFactory); //Initialize the player player = ExoPlayerFactory.newSimpleInstance(this, trackSelector); //Initialize simpleExoPlayerView SimpleExoPlayerView simpleExoPlayerView = findViewById(R.id.exoplayer); simpleExoPlayerView.setPlayer(player); // Produces DataSource instances through which media data is loaded. DataSource.Factory dataSourceFactory = new DefaultDataSourceFactory(this, Util.getUserAgent(this, "CloudinaryExoplayer")); // Produces Extractor instances for parsing the media data. ExtractorsFactory extractorsFactory = new DefaultExtractorsFactory(); // This is the MediaSource representing the media to be played. Uri videoUri = Uri.parse("any Cloudinary URL"); MediaSource videoSource = new ExtractorMediaSource(videoUri, dataSourceFactory, extractorsFactory, null, null); // Prepare the player with the source. player.prepare(videoSource); }
From the above snippet;
- We initialized the
SimpleExoPlayerinstance with some default configurations.
- We created and initialized an instance of
SimpleExoPlayerView. We then assigned our existing player instance to it.
- We generated our media source using a
videoUriparsed from a video
URLfrom Cloudinary.
We then prepare the player with our video source and our video is ready to be displayed. This gives us a basic implementation of
We created the
SimpleExoPlayerinstance as a class variable to make it accessible to all methods in the class.
We have to release our player when no longer in use to save resources :
@Override public void onPause() { super.onPause(); if (player!=null) { player.release(); player = null; } }
Finally, we need to provide the app permissions to access the internet. We add the internet permission in our
AndroidManifest.xml file :
This is how our app should look like if we play the transformed
URL with
Cloudinary provides us with an excellent [video management solution and integrating it with libraries, such as ExoPlayer, to display videos on our Android app is very easy. In this exoplayer android tutorial, we have shown how we can upload and transform videos, then display them. Cloudinary offers many more features and functionalities, which you can checkout here in the docs.

Tambobong Beach | Things to do in Dasol-Pangasinan
|Open Everyday
|Brgy. Tambobong, Dasol, Pangasinan
Nearby attractions
Accessible by boat or by car from the town center, Nambalan beach has a small cove with a short stretch of fine golden-white sand and jagged black rock formations that can serve as a great dramatic backdrop for your next #travelgram. The beach also has a grassy area shaded by coconut trees, making it a great stop for a midday picnic. Camping is also allowed on the beach, so those who are so inclined can enjoy a peaceful night sleeping under a sky filled with endless stars.
With a generous sandbar, Paratek is great for beach bums of all ages, though the sharp rock formations are best reserved for the more stable walkers, who ideally are wearing the right footwear. It can be a challenging trek up and down the rough rocks, and the passage along the waters can get scarily narrow, with the waves smashing violently against the rocks. After a few twists and turns, the water does calm down at least for a short stretch – just enough for one to dive in and swim in the cool, bright blue waters.
There are no actual crocodiles on Dasol's Crocodile Island, so tourists need not worry. Instead, this beautiful island has a shell-strewn beach and shallow tidal pools where different tiny sea creatures can be found. Frequented by tourists as a spot for eating and sunbathing, the rocky seabed isn't exactly swim-friendly, especially when the tide is low. But for the water babies who crave a dip, there is a small but scenic cave that opens out into the sea. Waters here are deep, so it's best for strong swimmers or floaters, but even those who don't dive in can make the most of the cave's picture-perfection.
Where to stay
With sunny rooms,
wooden floors, and a split-level set-up this homestay has a vintage look about
it, making the entire atmosphere ultimately more cozy and homey, perfect for
solo travelers.
This typical Filipino
house is cozy and clean, with quiet, breezy rooms that let the sunshine stream
in in copious amounts, and a fully-equipped kitchen that's free for use.
Excellent accomodation for an escape to the beach. Located on Tambobong Beach, the pink colored resort is only a few steps away from Dasol's most popular and beautiful sand beach.

Cohos in the cold: Salmon appear on North Shore earlier than in most years
Feb 04, 2018 07:11AM
By Editor
By Sam Cook of the Duluth News Tribune - February 4, 2018
The temperature was struggling to rise above zero at mid-morning on Thursday. A sharp wind whistled down from the north.
Dick Hedberg, 72, sat in his car, heater running, surveying Lake Superior near the mouth of the French River.
"I'm scouting," Hedberg said. "This is one of my routes."
He was thinking about doing some shorecasting for coho salmon, which have shown up in good numbers in recent weeks. The action has slowed some, Hedberg said. But the fish showed up earlier this year than in most winters, and hardy North Shore anglers have been there to catch them.
"I've done well," said Hedberg, of French River. "I caught lots of cohos."
Dick Hedberg of French River
"We seldom see much activity on the shore until February, and we were seeing them around Christmas," said Ross Pearson, a regular North Shore angler.
Despite the cold on Thursday, Hedberg was thinking about fishing.
"I'll fish once the temperature gets above 5 or 6 or 7," he said. "On days like today, with a north wind, down on the shore it's a little warmer."
The shore is mostly in the lee of that wind, and if the day is sunny, it can feel quasi-balmy. Many coho anglers fish with bobbers over artificial lures tipped with some kind of bait. Others prefer to cast spoons or fish a spawn bag off the bottom.
Through the ice
Besides casting into open water for cohos, anglers also fish them through the ice. But the only relatively reliable ice as of Thursday was within the protecting arms of McQuade Small Craft Harbor. On Thursday morning, two fishing shelters were on the ice there, and Brady Jentoft, 36, of Duluth was in one of them. He was sitting atop 6 inches of ice, he said. He hadn't caught a fish yet, but he had done well earlier this winter.
"I've got maybe eight all year — nothing crazy," Jentoft said from inside his cozy one-person shelter. "The coho fishing has been earlier than usual this year."
He was using waxworms for bait.
Ross Pearson of Duluth took time to capture an image from a successful day of coho salmon fishing on the North Shore this winter. Ross Pearson photo
"I got two (cohos) and a 'looper (Kamloops rainbow trout) on Tuesday," he said.
Chasing cohos and Kamloops rainbows has been a challenging proposition at times in recent weeks. Skim ice forms some days on Lake Superior and often is pushed ashore by the wind, preventing anglers from having easy access to the shore. Like Hedberg, anglers scout up and down the shore, hoping to find access to fishable water.
Natural reproduction
While Kamloops rainbow trout, a North Shore staple for shorecasters, are a stocked species, coho salmon are all wild. They were last stocked in Minnesota waters in 1974 and last stocked anywhere on Lake Superior (by the state of Michigan) in 2006, said Cory Goldsworthy, Lake Superior area fisheries supervisor for the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources at French River.
The cohos that North Shore anglers have been catching are likely from spawning that occurs in Michigan, Ontario or Wisconsin streams, Goldsworthy said. Some years, the cohos tend to run smaller, some years larger. This year's variety seem to be on the small side, Pearson said.
Coho salmon fillets. Photo by Lorin LeMire
"Dinky," he said. "Fifteens (15-inchers), and if you're lucky, you might get a 16."
In some years, cohos from 17 to 20 inches are plentiful.
Though not as large as the Kamloops rainbows that patrol the shallows of Lake Superior this time of year, cohos have one quality that's highly valued by anglers.
"They're delicious," Goldsworthy said.
Hedberg has often fished for Kamloops rainbows through the years.
"Now I'm more interested in going after cohos because of the eating," he said.
He looked down at the shoreline of Lake Superior. Despite the presence of jumbled ice blown ashore not far away, he could see an opening where he would make some casts.
"It's fishable," he said. "I'll probably go home and get my fishing gear."

A man who drove the wrong way along a motorway while drunk has been jailed for killing a passenger in a car that he smashed into.
Wilfred Museka of Powell Street, Clayton, admitted causing death by dangerous driving, fraud by false representation, driving without insurance and driving other than in accordance with a driving licence. At Minshull Street Crown Court he was sentenced to eight years in prison.
On Sunday 16 September 2012, Museka, who was driving a black Renault Megane, joined the M62 by driving the wrong way along the exit slip road. He continued to drive the wrong way along the eastbound carriageway for about half a mile. Shortly before 3am he ploughed into a Chevrolet Matiz, killing 20-year-old passenger Rebecca Caine instantly.
Following his arrest for causing death by dangerous driving Museka failed a breath test. A blood test later revealed he was more than twice the drink drive limit.
Museka, who has a previous conviction for drink driving and other motoring offences, was also found not to have a full valid UK driving licence and in fact only had a provisional licence. He also obtained insurance for the vehicle he was driving fraudulently.
"I would like to thank the Caine family for the dignity and patience they have shown during this terrible time. "Their daughter was taken from them in a senseless and totally avoidable act by a selfish individual with no respect for other road users. "Wilfred Museka thought nothing of consuming so much alcohol that he was over twice the legal limit and then went on to drive the wrong way down a motorway. "It is clear to the investigation team that Rebecca was a wonderful individual who was loved by her family and had so much to offer the world. "I hope today's sentence goes some way to repairing the damage done by Wilfred Museka and offers some closure to the family. My thoughts are also with the three survivors from the vehicle Rebecca was travelling in. Their lives were put at risk and they are now coming to terms with the loss of their friend. "Drivers should treat the people who share the roads with them with respect and any driver who fails to meet the required standards can expect to be investigated tirelessly and thoroughly."

fuser command displays the PIDs of processes using the specified files or file systems. You can use fuser command to specifies a file on a mounted file system or a block device that is mounted. All processes accessing files on that file system are listed using -k option you can forcefully kill mounted file system. It sends the SIGKILL signal to each process. Since this option spawns kills for each process, the kill messages may not show up immediately. No signals will be sent to kernel file consumers.

Yesterday morning, Dan, Nola, and I headed out to our 'Paws in the Park' 5k. This was our first doggy dash, and I would be lying if I said that I wasn't crazy excited for it. Dan and I had planned to run the race together, but once we arrived and I sized up the competition, I encouraged him to go ahead without me and to finish as quickly as possible.
Dan and Nola ended up placing 5th overall, insert proud fiancé and mom line here. I was feeling great until mile 2.5, where I experienced a terrible side stitch. I managed to finish in 26 minutes and was happy with my time. I was even happier with the post race treats. Nola and I shared 2 Peanut Butter Clif Bars and would both offer rave reviews.
Following the race, we watched the dogs jumping off the docks. Nola, being the social butterfly that she is, made lots of new friends.
All in all, we had a fantastic time and I would definitely recommend a fun run with dogs. Although I shouldn't admit it, my quads are especially sore today. Kudos to all you ladies training for and running your 1/2 marathons. I am definitely inspired to get into that kind of shape again.

Stella Maris was sixteen years when she got admission into the University to study Economics. She was a very brilliant student and made the best WAEC result in the secondary school she attended.
A day before she moved into the University campus, her father took her on a shopping spree and she had fun purchasing all she ever wanted and even those things she never dreamt she could have. Her father spent a fortune on her and she went home a happy girl in preparation for moving into the campus the next day.
But something strange happened to her that night. Someone crept into her room and forcefully had carnal knowledge of her. She woke up and saw blood stains on her sheets and rivulets of semen on her thighs. She didn't understand it because her father was the only male at home as her male siblings were all schooling abroad. She confided in her mother the next morning and although she looked shocked, she dismissed Stella's story as the figment of her imagination and told her not to discuss it with another person.
She moved into the campus the next day and focused on her education. But during lectures one day, she felt very sick and fainted and was taken to the medical centre. Her parents were called after a test conducted on her revealed she was pregnant. It was her father that drove to the campus and picked her.
But he didn't take her home immediately. He drove her to a hospital where he had her pregnancy terminated.
Within a short while, it dawned on Stella Maris that the culprit was her father. She confided in her mother who dismissed her allegations as arrant nonsense and warned her to be very careful.
But during her long holiday and she was home, the attack became frequent to the point that she demanded her true paternity from her mother. Embarrassed by the whole scenario, her mother warned her again to be careful. Eventually, Stella Maris had cause to leave the house and come to Lagos and seek refuge in a shelter belonging to a non-governmental organisation. Her mother made several trips to the NGO to try to explain the predicament but Stella Maris remained there for months and eventually had to quit school.
At the shelter where she sought refuge, she met others like her. Young girls and teenagers who were sexually-abused by their fathers, cousins and other close relatives who were also seeking refuge there.
Before her death in 2012, Sele Eradiri, the Nigeria Television Authority broadcaster who featured on a weekly popular programme Newsline once featured a family in Ikoyi Lagos where a 38 year-old man allegedly violated a six-year old daughter of his friend and the mother of the girl equally alleged her husband was inserting his fingers in the private parts of his own daughters. Sele Eradiri had taken the crew of Newsline in partnership with Mrs Josephine Effah Chukwuma of Project Alert on Violence Against Women and the police and headed to the Ikoyi residence of the couple to rescue the children and their mother and forwarded them to a shelter belonging to Project Alert at Ikeja.
Sexual harassment is a common phenomenon in higher institutions of learning, offices and the home.
It is often a shameful experience for some of the victims who could not openly talk about their experience nor report their cases to the police. Shame and social stigma faced by many victims have made them remain silent in the face of tyranny. Sometimes too, they are intimidated and threatened by their assailants to remain silent.
A young lady who just resumed work after her NYSC narrated how she got a job and lost it barely three months after.
"My boyfriend who works in the establishment told me about the vacancy. I applied for the job and was invited for the interview. I got the job. Shortly after I resumed, I realised all the managers were making passes at me but one was most vehement and aggressive in his approach. So, I told him that my fiance works there and that what he was demanding for was not possible.
It was like a joke but before I knew it, my fiance's name appeared in the sack- list and I did something that shook the foundation of that establishment. I ran to the MD and narrated my experience to him and told him about my fiance's predicament. I had to resign for my fiance to remain in the company but they still sacked him afterward. It was bad.
That is why I am in my own business. It was a very bad case. What baffles me is that the people who do this don't care if you are married or not."
Universities are worse off for this. In many higher institutions, female students sleep their way to 'success' while the male students pay their way through.
Cynthia Okere narrated how a particular lecturer tormented her at the university to the point that she spent six years instead of four to graduate . But she was not bold enough to report the man to the authorities.
Cynthia said her trouble started when she had to take a compulsory course being handled by the lecturer when she was in 100 Level. If you failed the course, you would be asked to go to another department.
"So, the lecturer just capitalised on this to make money and satisfy his sexual urge. He collected N5,000 from male students and demanded sex from female students. I refused to pay and I refused to yield to his sexual advances. I failed the course and had to rerun it in 200 Level.
That was when I looked for money and paid the lecturer. But this could not assuage his sexual thirst. The man insisted on sleeping with me. I refused and made up my mind to change the course. I was not surprised when he released the result and I failed again."
Tertiary institutions across the country are rife with stories of female students' travails in the hands of these lecturers. Lecturers capitalise on the innocence and academic laziness of many female students to have illicit sex with them. In many cases, some of these lecturers have been dealt with by the institutions concerned. Stories abound of randy lecturers who were caught in hotel rooms after they were set up by female students in conjunction with the institution's authorities.
During a recent visit to the University of Lagos, a parent of a new student had to force back the breasts of a female student into her bra when she saw the way they were dangling out of her low-neck blouse like water-melons.
" It was incredible. You needed to have seen those breasts. And on top of that, her skirt was very short. Which lecturer would see her and look away? She was practically begging for it. You cannot blame the men all the time because my husband has experienced that in his office. An 18-year-old intern asked him to rent a house for her and he demanded to know why. She told him she was living with her parents and they were disturbing her. I personally walked her out of his office because after he told me the story, I visited him one day and found her seated there."
However, many parents are of the opinion that seductive dressing should not be a yardstick for sexual harassment. In a workshop held in Lagos sometime ago on elimination of violence against women in higher institutions organised by the Legal Research and Resource Development Centre in conjunction with the Students Affairs Division of the YABATECH, some of the participants disagreed with this position. One of them, an associate professor of law from UNILAG, Mrs Ayo Atsenuwa, reportedly said that the fact that some females dressed seductively in the name of fashion was not enough for any reasonable man to harass them.
"If we argue like this, we can as well justify armed robbery. What we are saying is that an armed robber who does not have a car is justified to steal one from those who have. If our fathers did not rape our mothers who were always dressing almost nude in ancient time, then we have no reason to justify rape or sexual harassment," she said.
In her presentation at that seminar, the Executive Director, Project Alert on Violence Against Women, Mrs Josephine Effah-Chukwuma, said that there was no reason for anybody to engage in sexual harassment.
Josephine Effah, through Project Alert has been dedicated to creating awareness about the dangers of sexual abuse and rehabilitation of sexual abuse victims.
She is known to stand against battery, sexual abuse, trafficking of young girls for forced labour and other issues and also operates a shelter for battered and sexually-abused women. Effah-Chukwuma posited that domestic violence including battery, threat to life and sexual harassment are the commonest forms of violence against women and young girls so far received.
"Sexual violence against children, especially little girls, is becoming prevalent. Hardly can a day go without one newspaper reporting a case of defilement and incest against a young girl; sometimes as little as two years of age,'' she said.
She opined that although poverty and socio-economic challenges can be considered to be part of the causes of these abuses, they are avoidable reasons.
"It is more about men and boys feeling they have power and control over women and young girls, physically and sexually assaulting them,'' she observed. For women, sexual harassment is still an issue they face in the workforce. Even female employees at high-profile companies have reported harassment from their coworkers. Women in offices are often harassed, belittled, ignored, objectified and challenged.
Emilia, a secretary resigned her job because her husband suspected she was having an affair. " Indeed my boss sexually harassed me everyday for years. I was ashamed and embarrassed to do anything about it. I felt pathetic and weak. I hated his power and control over me but I pretended it was not so. I needed the job and besides, it was my word against his. I was happy when my husband insisted I resigned."

Solon said opening of FMRs will improve the marketing of the farmers' products and would further "advance agriculture potentials" here.
Engr. Gerald Faciol of PEO said massive opening and concreting of Sarangani roads commenced in 2015 when only 8% out of the total 357 kilometers of provincial roads then were concreted. As of December 2017, Faciol disclosed the figure is already "42% paved roads."
"The administration of Governor Solon was very aggressive nga masemento, maka-provide ug better access labi na didto sa atu-ang kabukiran kay mao man g'yud ang catalyst for development," Faciol said.
According to Governor Solon, road investments prioritized in Sarangani's development investment plan from 2016-2021 were "major core roads that provide strong linkages and connectivity to the existing and potential economic drivers of the province such as agriculture, tourism, fishery, services, trade and industry."
By 2022, the provincial government hopes to hit 75% of its roads already cemented but Faciol said "this is just a conservative estimate."
"Siguro by 2022, kung ing-ani gihapon ta ka-aggressive, mu-sobra pa ta sa atong target and fully masemento ang atong provincial roads." Faciol said.
The provincial government, he said, has embarked on a very aggressive infrastructure plan and is also very aggressive in accessing external funding.
The province's externally-funded projects were mostly sourced out from Department of Interior and Local Government's KALSADA Program and Conditional Matching Grant to Provinces Program, Department of Agriculture's Food Security Program, PRDP and Department of Health's Health Facilities Enhancement Program with corresponding counterpart funds from the provincial government's Annual Investment Program.
Since 2015, Sarangani has constructed a total of 31 farm-to-market and provincial roads and four bridges. Some of them are still in progress.
A total of P172 million, P839 million, and P519 million infra projects were implemented in 2015, 2016 and 2017, respectively.
For 2018 alone, the provincial government has implemented a total of P568 million hard (tangible) projects that the governor said were done "ahead of schedule."
"Our infrastructure projects are moving quickly," Solon said, yet pressing for the PEO to work double time and "ensure the work is excellent always."
"Karamihan ng funding natin ay nakukuha natin sa national and the reason why maraming dumarating ay kasi nakikita nila nagmo-move forward ang mga binibigay nila," Solon pointed out.
Among the hard projects implemented were the 12 hospital upgrading and one early childhood care and development projects which amounted to P187 million.
Other projects consisted of water systems, flood and river control projects, multi-purpose hall, other structures and the construction of the Sarangani Sports Complex inside the Capitol compound with a P200 million fund allocation in 2017 and 2018.

Dementia patients may express wishes that do not conform to or contradict earlier expressed preferences. Our understanding of the difference between their prior preferences and current wishes has important consequences for the way we deal with advance directives. Some bioethicists and gerontologists have argued that dementia patients change because they undergo a 'response shift'. In this paper we question this assumption. We will show that proponents of the response shift use the term imprecisely and that response shift is not the right model to explain what happens to dementia patients. We propose a different explanation for the changed wishes of dementia patients and conclude that advance directives of dementia patients cannot be simply put aside.

Ersan resort and spa, Bodrum Turkey
Imagine waking up to an undisturbed view of beautiful Bodrum bay, steeped in Turkish mystique and bathed in spring sunshine. That's what happened to us this morning.
