Along with Lian and Calatagan, Nasugbu is on the western side of Batangas. The beaches are great, though the sand is not as white in contrast to that of Laiya, it is more accessible from Manila-Cavite Expressway and Tagaytay via Aguinaldo highway. As part of our almost yearly tradition of going to the beach during summers, we went to Nasugbu and stayed at Bernabeach Resort.
Those are photos of both ends of the series of beach resorts in Brgy. Bucana. Took those photos while I'm half submerged in the water about a few meters away from the shore.
It was already way past sunset when we reached Bernabeach Resort so the kids had to wait until next morning for them to enjoy the sea. Here's Daniel who, at that time, had just woke up the next day.
It took me a while (and a lot of sweet talks and brute force) before I was able to convince my son to go to the shore. He was hesitant to go at first, perhaps due to the unusual grainy sensation cause by wet sands clinging on his feet and a nasty crab incident that happened a night before, but everything changed when I finally got to take him there.

At first, he was just enjoying making sand castles…
then he started scooping and throwing wet sands…
he sat in the sands to scoop some more…
and then the waves started to make him thrilled…
and as if just sitting there isn't fun enough…
I was having a blast taking photos of the cutest little guy in the universe but the moment he called me to join him, "Daddy, ikaw din," I had to leave my camera in the shore (not minding the sand could damage it) to join my son. For a moment there it felt like I was given privileged access to his inner world. Or as the fox would put it, "I have tamed him."
And that's the best moment of 2013 that I couldn't have had had I failed to submit to his invitation.
My daughter, on the other hand, didn't seem to like the shore (or was it just a matter of sibling rivalry: one should not consent with the other). Even when she was way way younger, she hates the feeling of wet sands sticking to her feet.
Good thing Bernabeach resort have pools so she still was able to enjoy.
Other activities you may enjoy in the beach.
Kite flying.
Taking photos using large-display tablets and ipads, something that I'll still find weird even in a hundred years. That's an ice cream and ice pops vendor on the right.
Pester poor little crabs crawling in the sand. And horseback riding.
I know one of you is bound to ask for a photo of the room so here it is along with other things I don't usually take photos of.
Cooking is allowed in the resort but they only have grills available. There are electrical outlets in the gazebos that you may use for a fee but if you're a cheapo, just top the grill with your kaldero.
Charcoal grills at Bernabeach Resort
There are cottages available in Bearnabeach Resort for large and small groups.
Bearnabeach Resort is a beachfront resort located, alongside two other resorts, in Apacible Boulevard in Nasugbu, Batangas. Check the detailed tab below for the map and contact information.
And should you need more summer getaway options, you may want to check out these other Batangas beach resort posts I made in the past. We got acquainted with an underdeveloped shores of Calayo in 2009 and the following year, we frolicked in the white sands of Laiya. We broke away from the shores in 2011 and 2012 for reasons I couldn't understand but I hope I could take my kids next year to somewhere more grand.

It's a girl...times two
Wednesday was a big day for Steven and Elizabeth Nichols of Dafter as they welcomed two new granddaughters at War Memorial Hospital.
"She was ping-ponging back and forth between the two rooms," observed one witness of Grandma Nichols' frantic activities as she tried to spend time with the latest additions to the family.
Malynda Elizabeth Michele Nichols, the daughter of Travis Nichols and Alexandra Jeffson, entered the world at 1:45 a.m. Wednesday after roughly 10 hours of labor. Weighing in at 5 pounds 9 ounces, she was a little smaller then her cousin who was delivered less than seven hours later.
Mariana Kay Nichols, weighing 6 pounds 5 ounces was delivered by scheduled c-section at War Memorial Hospital. The daughter of Steven Nichols Jr. and Cassondra Sturgeon, according to official records, was born at 8:14 a.m.
These are the first daughters for both Steven, 25, and Travis, 22. The girls and their mothers were doing well on Thursday and are scheduled to be released from the hospital as early as today.
With the addition of Malynda and Mariana on Wednesday, Elizabeth Nichols now has 11 grandchildren.

While discussing WPF 4 and Prism 4 with one of my clients, we got into a discussion about DelegateCommand provided in Prism 4. We discussed questions on WPF and Prism End-to-End application development where WCF, ADO.NET EF and WPF DataGrid is used for Insert and Update operations. I immediately started working on an end-to-end scenario that provides commanding facility to the WPF DataGrid for performing Update and Delete operations. This article discusses a small application around the same, with the following architecture.
In this application I have used SQL Server 2008, ADO.NET EF and WCF Services.
Creating WCF Service
Step 1: Open VS2010 and create a blank solution. Name it as 'WPF_Prism4_App'. To this solution, add a new WCF service Application project and call it 'WCF_Service_DML_OP'. In this project, rename 'IService1.cs' to 'IService.cs' and 'Service1.svc' to 'Service.svc'.
Step 2: In this project add a new ADO.NET Entity-Data Model and name it as 'CompanyEDMX.edmx'. Here I have used 'EmployeeInfo' table with the following columns:
The EDM designer is as shown below:
Step 3: In 'IService.cs' add the following interface.
Step 4: Implement this interface in Service class as shown below:
Note: The methods in the above code make calls to ADO.NET EF methods.
Step 5: Publish the service on IIS.
Creating WPF 4.0 Client Application
Step 1: In the same solution, add a new WPF application and name it as 'WPF4_End_To_End_Application'. In this project, add Prism 4 library references as shown below:
Step 2: Add the reference of the WCF service you just created, in this project. In the project, add a new Folder and rename it as 'ServiceAdapter'. In this folder add a new class file and name it as 'ServiceAdapterClass.cs'. This class will make a call to WCF service using proxy. The code is as shown below:
Step 3: In this project, add a new class and name it as 'DataGridCustomCommandBehavior.cs'. In this application, since the WPF DataGrid needs to directly perform Update and Insert operation without any code-behind, I have added a custom behavior to my DataGrid for the CurrentCellChanged event. The code for the custom behavior is as shown below:
The above code defines custom behavior class for DataGrid of name 'DataGridCustomCommandBehavior'. The constructor of the class subscribe the CurrentCellChanged event. The class CurreneCellChangedClass define Command, CommandParameter and CommandBehavior attached properties for detecting action from UI thread and accepts an object associated with DataGridRow as CommandParameter .
Step 4: Rename MainWindow.Xaml to Shell.Xaml and also change the code-behind class name.
Step 5: In the same project, add a new folder of the name 'ViewModel'. In this folder, add a new class file and name it as 'ApplicationViewModel.cs'. This class defines the following:
The code is as shown below:
Note in the above class there are two important methods as below:
Step 6: Open Shell.Xaml and define an instance of the 'ApplicationViewModel' class in Windows Resources. Also register the current application namespace in the XAML using clr-namespace. This is required to use the custom commanding with DataGrid. Drag-Drop the DataGrid on the Window. The XAML will be as below:
The important part of the above xaml is that the DataGrid is set with its custom commands with the following expressions:
These settings will be used when the end-user changes any value in the DataGridCell. When DataGridCell changes, the UpdateCommand will be called and either Update and Insert operation takes place depending on the UpdateEmployeeDone method from the ApplicationViewModel class. For Update or Insert opration, the CommandParameter property is set to the 'SelectedItem' property of the DatGrid. This property will return an instance of EmployeeInfo class. Buttons 'Load Employee' and 'Delete Employee' are bound with the 'LoadEmployeesCommand' and 'DeleteEmployeeCommand' declared using DelegateCommand in ViewModel class.
Step 7: Run the application and click on the 'Load Employees' button. The following result will be displayed:
Change any record by clicking on any cell and using 'TAB' button, exit the row. The value will be updated as below: (I am doing this for EmpNo:80 for Salary property) The result will be as below:
In the last row, add values in all cells except EmpNo. A new row will be added and the result will be as below:
To delete a row, select the row to be deleted and click on the Delete Employee button. The result will be as shown below:
Conclusion: Prism4 Commanding and its facility of the CommandBehavior helps us to develop End-To-End application for DML operations using controls like DataGrid. So those who are very comfortable with an MsExcel type of UI interaction, are the ones most benifited from this kind of a UI, and I am sure there are many of us who love Excel.

text: I'm aboard the Healy to conduct research—artistic, not scientific—for a choreography project entitled Ice Melt. While the science team will be collecting data about under-ice phytoplankton blooms, ocean physics and sea ice composition, I'll be gathering information too. I want to learn as much as possible about the dynamism and fragility of sea ice so that I can bring its character to life on stage. I'll be collecting "samples" — images, videos and sound recordings —to use in the creation of the work with my company Time Lapse Dance upon return. I'm also planning to dance upon the ice! This is the part of the project that's most exciting and unknown to me. I'll be collaborating with the team's photographer Amanda Kowalski and documentarian Ben Harden to film these dance excursions. We'll make a movie of these "in situ" performances that will be incorporated into future Ice Melt productions. A couple of weeks ago, in anticipation of the launch, I presented "Polar Vortex" a program of studio performances and climate science discussions. The event featured the premiere of a new solo, Arctic Memory which will form the basis of my sea-ice dances. My costume, constructed by designer Mary Jo Mecca and hand-painted by textile artist Gina Nagy Burns, was conceived to suggest ice-floe mosaics. "Polar Vortex" included repertory performances by my company and conversations about climate outreach. We were fortunate to have three wonderful guest speakers: on Thursday, May 1 we were joined by Margie Turrin of the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory; and on Friday, May 2 we heard from Jessica Brunacini of PoLAR Hub and author/fellow Healy traveller Dallas Murphy. The conversations were remarkably lively. I felt charged by the intensity of the audience engagement and the collective desire for climate education and action. I feel a tremendous sense of purpose with this project. For the first time, my concern for the planet and my artistic vision are converging. As we develop Ice Melt, I plan to continue presenting conversations in conjunction with performances, that focus on climate science, local impacts of climate change and strategies for action.

Poi Dog Pondering
Poi Dog Pondering is the love child of singer-songwriter Frank Orrall, who first cast his musical net in Hawaii in 1986. After marching across fields, streets and streams performing their almost mystical blend of atmospheric otherworld music, the ever-expanding troupe eventually came to settle in Austin, where they first captured the public eye in 1987. Three Columbia albums — PdP, Wishing Like a Mountain, Thinking Like the Sea and Volo Volo — made the band a franchise. In 1992, Poi Dog Pondering relocated to Chicago, where the band remains a vibrant part of that city's fertile music scene (the band was recently named Best Rock/Pop Act in the Chicago Reader's 2009 readers' poll). Orrall and Co. released Poi Dog's seventh studio album — simply titled 7 — last year. The Austin American-Statesman called the rock and soul collection "the best album Poi Dog Pondering has yet made." A new, five-song EP is due later this year (excerpt from: http://2009.aclfestival.com/band/poi-dog-pondering ) Set List included: 1-Rusted Weather, 2-Get Me On, 3-Jack Ass Ginger, 4-Lemon Drop Man, 5-Candy, 6-From This Moment, 7-Pulling Touch, 8-Ta Bouche Est Tabou, 9-That's The Way Love Is, 10-Natural Thing.Read More

Pt. 3: TWO SHREVEPORT MAYOR HOPEFULS ARE DEVOUT VOTERS
Thursday, July 26, 2018 … 6:19 P.M.
In Shreveport's not-too-distant past, a notably high voting frequency was all but required of any who sought top public offices … like mayor.
These days, as this series of articles highlights, all such bars are set embarrassingly low.
Local news media used to report how frequently – or not – candidates, elected officials, and some others – political analysts, yours truly included, for example – actually voted.
Necessary records for such research are maintained by the Louisiana Secretary of State and parish Registrars of Voters.
Our Caddo Registrar's voting data goes back to 1991. Since then, 81 elections have been held in which Shreveporters could vote.
Here are such voting records among various Shreveport mayoral candidates:
A polling commissioner for many years, Mr. Krefft registered to vote here on August 26, 1989, and has voted in 80 of 81 elections since 1991. His lone miss was a make-up election held in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.
The Caddo Parish Commissioner registered to vote here on July 16, 2010, and has voted in 24 of 27 elections since.
As Part 2 of this series detailed day before yesterday, Mr. Jackson knowingly used a false "domicile" / residence address on his Notice of Candidacy. Still, he swore with his signature that all included statements were "true and correct."
MAYOR OLLIE TYLER … 59.1% or 44.4%
The mayor registered here in February 1974, and since 1991 has voted in 36 of 81 elections, 44.4%.
However, Tyler lived in New Orleans in 2000 – 2002, and in Baton Rouge August 2007 – 2011, voting absentee three times. Since her return to Shreveport in 2012, she has voted in 13 of 22 elections … 59.1%.
Surprisingly, while mayor, two of the elections Tyler missed were tax elections for the Caddo Parish School Board on May 2, 2015, and Caddo Parish Commission on April 29, 2017. Another miss – for State Treasurer and constitutional amendments – was on October 24, 2017.
Although previously registered in Shreveport / Caddo, Mr. Taliaferro moved to Webster Parish and voted there for twelve years. Since re-registering for Shreveport elections on April 25, 2013, he has voted in 9 of 17 elections … 52.9%.
Mr. Savage (re-)registered to vote here on May 23, 2007. Since then, Registrar records show he has voted in 14 of 36 elections … 38.9%.
Mr. Young registered to vote on July 23, 2001, and in the 53 elections since, he has voted 5 times … 9.4%.
As I detailed in the first article in this series, last Saturday, Perkins registered to vote here on April 18, 2007, but has never voted in a Shreveport / Caddo election. I have received no information of any kind from him (or others) showing he ever voted elsewhere, either.
This research was done before qualifying, and candidates Anna Marie Arpino, Jeron Rogers and Tremicius Dixon are not included.
… series to be continued …

Feeding a Family is specifically written for young families raising small children. With this in mind, when writing this cookbook, Sarah Waldman created a wonderful cookbook that any young family would enjoy and benefit from. The format is different: Waldman goes through a year, starting with winter, and suggests a large variety of recipes for the home cook. They are not difficult to make, many have few ingredients and may be whipped up quickly even by beginner cooks. Most are good, wholesome recipes taking advantage of the season and often the cook's garden. Many recipes are illustrated with nice food photos.
[/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column css=".vc_custom_1482965124583{padding-bottom: 20px !important;}"][vc_column_text]
"…I offer guidance, inspiration, and concrete ideas on how to make a family dinner work."
Waldman has very good, informative head notes. With the start of each new season, she lists menus followed by the recipes, of which you may take advantage. She adds her special features with many recipes: whenever kids can help with a recipe, she suggests a Kids Can comment. And for many recipes she suggests how the cook can use part of the meal for the baby. Other suggestions are also useful, called Tomorrow's Dinner—how to use up leftovers or cook extras ready for next day's dinner. She makes many ingredients from scratch, like pizza dough and corn tortillas.

Stoner wins home Australian GP.
Casey Stoner wins the Australian Grand Prix at Phillip Island.
Casey Stoner ended Valentino Rossi's five-race run of MotoGP victories by winning his home Australian Grand Prix in dominant style, marking the Ducati Marlboro star's first win since the wet German GP in July.
On paper, Stoner's fifth victory of the season was a lights-to-flag affair, but the 2007 world champion was hounded by Repsol Honda's Nicky Hayden for the first ten laps around the stunning Phillip Island circuit.
The pair pulled quickly away from a furious fight for third in the process, with Stoner then breaking clear of his future team-mate to hold a two-second advantage by the halfway stage and a 6.5secs lead at the chequered flag - although the Australian's advantage peaked at 7.8secs before he began backing off.
Stoner is now 36 points clear of Dani Pedrosa in the fight for second in the world championship standings with two rounds to go, after the Repsol Honda rider lowsided out of third place at turn two.
Valentino Rossi, who began the race just twelfth on the grid after a high-speed qualifying fall, was only up to ninth by the end of the opening lap - but fortunate to avoid Alex de Angelis, who highsided just in front of him on the entry to the downhill MG hairpin.
Thereafter, the 2008 MotoGP world champion worked his way steadily forwards, overtaking James Toseland for third into turn one on lap eight. Toseland had robustly held onto third ever since Pedrosa's early exit, and wasn't going to give up without a fight - the Tech 3 rookie re-passing Rossi into turn one on the following lap.
Toseland, who celebrated his 28th birthday today, was enjoying the best race of his young MotoGP career - and it took Rossi a further three laps before he could attempt another pass, again into turn one, but this time Toseland sliced straight back under.
Toseland's previous Phillip Island race start ended in victory at the 2007 WSBK event and he kept his MotoGP podium dream alive until lap 13 of 28, when Rossi finally put his factory Yamaha decisively ahead.
A six-second gap separated Rossi and Hayden by that point but, although the #46 initially made only minor progress, Hayden's Michelin-shod RCV lost pace dramatically in the closing stages and Rossi snatched second position from the American into turn one at the start of the final lap.
Stoner, Rossi and Hayden celebrated on the podium in front of a sea of fans assembled on the home straight. Rossi threw his kneesliders into the cheering crowd whilst Hayden went one better, marking his second rostrum of the season by pitching his boots to the fans.
Behind the top three, a four-way fight for fourth raged right to the chequered flag, with Rossi's team-mate Jorge Lorenzo finally prevailing.
After being overtaken by Rossi for the final time, Toseland stuck within one second of the eight time world champion until lap 18, when he appeared to lose a little pace and was instead left to fight a defensive battle.
As Rossi had found, Toseland was exceptionally hard to pass - the Englishman being strong out of the final turn and staying to the right along the home straight, forcing his opponents to try an outside pass into turn one, and gave away no ground under braking.
Lorenzo made several unsuccessful attempts to pass into turn one, but he finally succeeded when Dovizioso dived inside them both with three laps to go. That move took Toseland's eye off Lorenzo and, as the #52 adjusted his line to try and retake Dovi, he ran wide.
Estoril winner Lorenzo was able to hold fourth to the finish, whilst Toseland, Dovizioso and Nakano exchanged positions to the flag. Nakano, riding a factory-spec Gresini Honda, had been content to watch for most of the race, but was able to exploit Toseland and Dovizioso's battle to move ahead of them both on the final lap.
Toseland was thus left to collect his sixth sixth-place finish of the season, with fellow rookie Dovizioso - tenth at the end of lap one - seventh and over 13secs clear of Colin Edwards. LCR Honda's Randy de Puniet, who made a poor start from fourth on the grid, was a fraction behind the Texan with Loris Capirossi the lead Suzuki at the GSV-R's bogey track, in tenth.
Toni Elias capitalised on the first lap action - which included Alice team-mate Sylvain Guintoli and Suzuki's Chris Vermeulen running off track at turn two - by rising to eleventh, with Anthony West the top Kawasaki in twelfth at what looks like being his final home grand prix.
Marco Melandri, a former Phillip Island MotoGP winner, finished 1min 11secs behind his victorious team-mate, in last place.

Every two seconds someone is having a stroke. That's the second leading cause of death worldwide and the number one for disabilities. Nearly 70% of all affected people do not recognise the symptoms correctly to get help within the lifesaving six hours' span. What they do have is their smartphone with a built-in face recognition camera. A smartphone that they use an average of 250 times a day. So why not use the latest face recognition technology of the Apple iPhone to identify the early warning signals of a stroke? Every time the phone unlocks, the camera scans the users facial feature and reads up to 30,000 infrared dots placed on an in-depth map on his face. Any changes or abnormalities in the movement of over 50 different facial muscles can be recognised in real time. The major symptoms like numbness or the dropping of one side of the face will immediate initiate a stroke warning test. If the user cannot pass the test and even more symptoms like speak disability appear, the phone will directly connect the user to a paramedic, who will then be able to help and use the phone's GPS data to get to the patient as soon as possible. With our idea "Apple Saving Smiles" we us face recognition beyond phone security and entertainment for the most valuable thing in our life: our health. This technology will be able to help thousands of people during a stroke by doing what they already do every day: using their phone!

Leeds is reckoned to be one of the country's most car-dependent cities, so roads can be very busy during peak hours. The city is well served by an excellent road network, designed to keep traffic on the move. Access to and from the city centre is via the M621, which links with both the M1 for onward travel north or south, and the M62 for access east or west across the Pennines. The Leeds inner ring road functions as an urban motorway, keeping traffic away from the city centre. Parking in the city itself is plentiful, with substantial discounts offered for pre-bookings which can be made online or by phone. If you prefer not to drive into the city, there are several affordable Park and Ride options.

Today, it is a modern, vibrant city which boasts several large indoor shopping centres, making it the principal shopping centre for the region.
