She thought of a nice approach…
Every night, after dinner, a man took off for the local tavern. He spent the whole evening there, and arrived home very drunk around midnight each night.
He always had trouble getting his key into the keyhole and getting the door opened. His wife, waiting up for him, would go to the door and let him in. Then she would proceed to yell and scream at him, for his constant nights out, and coming home in a drunken state. But, Harry continued his nightly routine.
One day, the wife was talking to a friend about her husband’s behavior, and was particularly distraught by it all.
The friend listened to her, and then said, “Why don’t you treat him a little differently, when he comes home? Instead of berating him, why don’t you give him some loving words, and welcome him home with a kiss? He then might change his ways.”
The wife thought that might be a good idea.
That night, Harry took off again, after dinner. And, about midnight, he arrived home, in his usual condition.
His wife heard him at the door, and quickly went to it, and opened the door, and let Harry in.
This time, instead of berating him, as she had always done, she took his arm, and led him into the living room. She sat him down in an easy chair, put his feet up on the ottoman and took his shoes off. Then she went behind him, and started to cuddle him a little. After a little while, she said to him, “It’s pretty late, dear. I think we had better go upstairs to bed, now, don’t you think?”
At that, Harry replied, in his inebriated state, “I guess we might as well. I’ll be getting in trouble with the stupid wife when I get home anyway!”

I said stop redundancy!!!
Can somebody explain to me what the heck is this all about:
The Committee for the Reduction of Redundancy and the Antiproliferation of Repetition has decided not to meet until they have their first meeting and thus will not be meeting until the first time.
Their Pre-meeting Statement wanted to make this clear before they had their first meeting, so that it would not be unor confusing.
So their first meeting will actually be their first meeting and they will not have a meeting before the first meeting.
This should avoid having people show up for their first meeting before it is held, since to do so would be confusing to those who did so and this is what they want to avoid by reducing the confusion and lessening the repetition.

ISABELA: HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
It is believed that the history of the province dates back over 25,999 years ago with Stone-Age race of dark skinned kinky haired pygmies whose descendants, that the Nomadic Aetas (Negritos), can still be found roaming the mountains and forest of Eastern Isabela today. The Indonesians arrived 5,000 years ago, followed by the three waves of Malays between 200 BC and 1,500 A.D. These pagan ancestor of the Ibanags, Gaddags, Yogads, Kalingas and other original tribes of the Valley built a civilization based on corn agriculture and organized around the fundamental political unit, the barangay.
The Spaniards arrived in the late 16th and early 17th centuries and introduced Christianity, encomienda (forerunner of the municipality) and tobacco monopoly. Spanish rule was extremely oppressive so the natives rose in revolt on several occasions, most notably in the 18th century under the leadership of Dabo and Marayag.
A new wave of immigration begun in the late 19th and early 20th century with the arrival of the Ilocanos who came in large numbers. They now constituted the largest group in the province. Other ethnic groups followed and Isabela became the “melting pot of the north”.
The formal history of the province dates back on May 1, 1856, when by a Royal decree, Isabela was curved from the existing provinces of Cagayan and Nueva Vizcaya with the town of Ilagan as its capital. The province was named in honor of ” Her Royal Highness Queen Isabela II” of Spain at the time when Urbiztondo was the Governor-General of the Philippines.
Although the province did not play a major role in the revolt against Spain, it was in Palanan where the final pages of the Philippine REvolution was written when the American forces led by General Funston finally captured General Emilio Aguinaldo in that frontier town on March 23, 1901.
The Americans built schools and other infrastructures and instituted changes in the overall political system. The province’s economy, however, remained primarily agricultural with rice replacing corn and tobacco as the dominant crop. The second World War turned back the province’s growth and economy but it recovered dramatically through the concerted efforts of its people and officials.
Today, Isabela is the premier province of the North and one of the most progressive in the country.
Many historian have wrote about the province but Fr. Ambrocio Manaligod, STD has another version about the history of Isabela as narrated in the following pages.
Before 1856 there was no Isabela province.
From 1851, the Spanish conquistadors established the “Ciudad de Nueva Segovia” in what is Lallo-c today, up to 1939 the entire Cagayan Valley was one large province which the Spaniards called “La Provincia del Valle de Cagayan”. Out of this vast territory, two new provinces were created in 1839. One retained the old name “Cagayan” which comprised all towns from Aparri to Tumauini, its capital transferred from Lallo-c to Tuguegarao. The other bearing the name “Nueva Vizcaya” was composed of all towns from Ilagan to the Caraballo del Sur, inclusive of Catalangan and Palanan, with Camarag (now Echague) as its Capital.
Then in 1856, Isabela became a province with the name “Isabela de Luzon” to distinguish it from other “Isabelas” in the Philippines. To comprise it, Carig, (now Santiago), Camarag, (now Echague), Angadanan, (now Alicia), Cauayan, Calanusian, (now Reina Mercedes), Gamu and Ilagan were detached from Nueva Vizcaya, while Tumauini and Cabagan were taken from the province of Cagayan. It was placed under the Jurisdiction of a Governor with capital seat at Ilagan.
It was from 1597 to 1899 which comprised the three centuries of Spanish domination in the Cagayan Valley mastermind by the Spanish Dominicans Friars. These religious priests were the chief and main agents of the Spanish sovereignty through their works of Christianization and colonization, aided strongly by the military, the Alcaldes Mayores and the Gobernadorcillos.

Investigating a terrible accident
There was a terrible bus accident. Unfortunately, no one survived the accident except a monkey which was on board and there were no witnesses. The police try to investigate further but they get no results. At last, they try to interrogate the monkey. The monkey seems to respond to their questions with gestures. Seeing that, they start asking the questions.
The police chief asks, “What were the people doing on the bus?”
The monkey shakes his head in a condemning manner and starts dancing around; meaning the people were dancing and having fun.
The chief asks, “Yeah, but what else were they doing?”.
The monkey uses his hand and takes it to his mouth as if holding a bottle.
The chief says, “Oh! They were drinking, huh??!” The chief continues, “Okay, were they doing anything else?”
The monkey nods his head and moves his mouth back and forth, meaning they were talking.
The chief loses his patience, “If they were having such a great time, who was driving the stupid bus then?”
The monkey cheerfully swings his arms to the sides as if grabbing a wheel (omigosh….he did it!!!!!).

Ants are social animals. The worker ants inform each other about the source of food or about the possible dangers. Soldier ants exhort other soldier ants to fight. The ants produce special chemicals called pheromones, which help them carry on such communication. They bump into each other for the exchange of information.
Tornado defined
Although tornadoes occur in many parts of the world, these destructive forces of nature are found most frequently in the United States east of the Rocky Mountains during the spring and summer months. In an average year, 800 tornadoes are reported nationwide, resulting in 80 deaths and over 1,500 injuries. A tornado is defined as a violently rotating column of air extending from a thunderstorm to the ground. The most violent tornadoes are capable of tremendous destruction with wind speeds of 250 mph or more. Damage paths can be in excess of one mile wide and 50 miles long.
What causes tornadoes?
Thunderstorms develop in warm, moist air in advance of eastward-moving cold fronts. These thunderstorms often produce large hail, strong winds, and tornadoes. Tornadoes in the winter and early spring are often associated with strong, frontal systems that form in the Central States and move east. Occasionally, large outbreaks of tornadoes occur with this type of weather pattern. Several states may be affected by numerous severe thunderstorms and tornadoes.
During the spring in the Central Plains, thunderstorms frequently develop along a “dryline,” which separates very warm, moist air to the east from hot, dry air to the west. Tornado-producing thunderstorms may form as the dryline moves east during the afternoon hours.
Along the front range of the Rocky Mountains, in the Texas panhandle, and in the southern High Plains, thunderstorms frequently form as air near the ground flows “upslope” toward higher terrain. If other favorable conditions exist, these thunderstorms can produce tornadoes.
Tornadoes occasionally accompany tropical storms and hurricanes that move over land. Tornadoes are most common to the right and ahead of the path of the storm center as it comes onshore.

Now let’s talk about Ghost Stories.
There’s nothing quite as devilishly fun as sharing ghost stories. Some tales are based on true experiences, while others are works of the writer’s imagination. Here is a tale to add to your collection. Are they real? Only the spirits know for sure…
The Ghost at the Piano
Alice awoke to the sound of Beethoven’s
Moonlight Sonata wafting its way up from the inn’s conservatory. She had just checked in two hours ago, bleary eyed from the four hour drive en route to her next concert in Seattle. All she really wanted to do was get some sleep before she finished the journey in the morning, so who in the world would be playing downstairs at 3:00 a.m.?
Finally irritated enough to drag herself out of bed, Alice padded down the master staircase and across the main hall to the doorway of the conservatory. She froze there, her eyes irresistibly anchored on the handsome man at the piano. He didn’t seem quite of this era in his vintage tuxedo and slicked back hair. Alice vaguely wondered if he was an actor who put on shows about the inn’s heyday in the roaring twenties. Indeed, there was even a glass of gin on the piano top.
Without a sound from Alice, the man looked up as though he had expected to see her there all along. “Hello Alice, I’ve been waiting for you…for quite some time.” Alice was mesmerized by his deep black eyes, and felt compelled to move toward the piano.
“You and I have a duet to play, Alice. Come sit on the bench beside me”. Alice found she couldn’t resist the man’s command, and she slowly sank onto the bench next to him. A sudden shiver overtook her as she felt a distinct chill in the air.
“Put your fingers on the keys, Alice”, the man gently coaxed with a predatory gleam in his eyes. As if of their own volition, Alice’s hands reached for the keyboard and settled there ready for the next command.
“Now play. You know the tune.” Alice hesitated, but her hands no longer obeyed her, and they began to play the sonata that had drawn her down the stairs. The man fell into accompaniment, and as they played, both figures slowly faded out of site.
It was Alice’s final performance.

My Dear Readers,
Here’s a good one that will surely make your day special, I bet you would need this!
He really wanted the frog:
“A man walks into a bar and asks the bartender, “If I show you a really good trick, will you give me a free drink?” The bartender considers it, then agrees. The man reaches into his pocket and pulls out a tiny rat. He reaches into his other pocket and pulls out a tiny piano. The rat stretches, cracks his knuckles, and proceeds to play the blues.
After the man finished his drink, he asked the bartender, “If I show you an even better trick, will you give me free drinks for the rest of the evening?” The bartender agrees, thinking that no trick could possibly be better than the first. The man reaches into his pocket and pulls out a tiny rat. He reaches into his other pocket and pulls out a tiny piano. The rat stretches, cracks his knuckles, and proceeds to play the blues.
The man reaches into another pocket and pulls out a small bullfrog, who begins to sing along with the rat’s music. While the man is enjoying his beverages, a stranger confronts him and offers him $100,000.00 for the bullfrog. “Sorry,” the man replies, “he’s not for sale.” The stranger increases the offer to $250,000.00 cash up front. “No,” he insists, “he’s not for sale.” The stranger again increases the offer, this time to $500,000.00 cash.
The man finally agrees, and turns the frog over to the stranger in exchange for the money. “Are you insane?” the bartender demanded. “That frog could have been worth millions to you, and you let him go for a mere $500,000!” “Don’t worry about it.” the man answered. “The frog was really nothing special.
You see, the rat’s a ventriloquist.”
___________________________________________________________________________________________
Ventriloquist - a person who acts or speaks in such a manner that the voice doesn’t seem to come from him but from another source, from the opposite side of the room etc…or probably from a dummy held by him. The act is called ventriloquism.

In the Philippines—Misery brought by heavy rains that flooded many parts of the eastern section of the country in the past two weeks.
At least seven more people drowned over the past four days as floodwaters engulfed the provinces of Samar and Negros Occidental, pushing the death toll to 40. Seven other people remain missing after being swept away by floods or buried by landslides. President Benigno Aquino III has scheduled a whirlwind visit to provinces in Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao that were hit hardest by heavy rains and floods over the Christmas holidays.
The heavy rains began shortly before New Year’s Eve and have affected 1.29 million people across 144 towns, including 338,000 who fled their homes or are receiving food or other aid from the government, the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council said in its latest bulletin.
More than 22,000 people remain in government-run temporary shelters while waiting for floodwaters to ebb, with nearly 1,300 houses damaged or destroyed, it added.
Soldiers and government personnel are evacuating more people in Samar and nearby Leyte island.
An initial government estimate put the damage to roads and bridges, homes and farms at nearly P900 million.
