By choosing to live above the ordinary level we create extraordinary problems for ourselves. The ultimate goal is to make this earth a paradise.

[…]

For me it is no problem to depend on others. I am always curious to see how far people will go, how big a test one can put them to.

Certainly there are humiliations involved, but aren’t these humiliations due rather to our limitations? Isn’t it merely our pride which suffers? It’s only when we demand that we are hurt. I, who have been helped so much by others, I ought to know something of the duties of the receiver. It’s so much easier to be on the giving side. To receive is much harder â€" one actually has to be more delicate, if I may say so. One has to help people to be more generous. By receiving from others, by letting them help you, you really aid them to become bigger, more generous, more magnanimous. You do them a service.

And then finally, no one likes to do either one or the other alone. We all try to give and take, to the best of our powers. It’s only because giving is so much associated with material things that receiving looks bad. It would be a terrible calamity for the world if we eliminated the beggar. The beggar is just as important in the scheme of things as the giver. If begging were ever eliminated God help us if there should no longer be a need to appeal to some other human being, to make him give of his riches. Of what good abundance then? Must we not become strong in order to help, rich in order to give and so on? How will these fundamental aspects of life ever change? --Henry Miller

Rosario Brutas, a market vendor in Bacoor, a town south of Manila, said she and her husband woke on Tuesday to discover their home already partly submerged.

"We woke up before dawn to find our bed afloat," the 32-year-old told AFP from a hospital courtyard where her family and their neighbours had taken refuge.

Bad weather from seasonal southwest monsoons has pounded Manila and nearby areas for over a week since Typhoon Saola brushed past the country's north.

Before the latest deluge, the death toll from eight days of sustained rains had reached 53 with more than 268,000 people forced to flee their homes across the country, according to disaster authorities.

No new casualties were reported from the overnight rains.

But Jean Navarez from the state weather service warned that the floods could worsen as the La Mesa dam, Manila's sole reservoir, began letting off water that would swell surrounding rivers.

"If we put it in a percentage, at least 50 percent of Metro Manila is flooded," she told AFP.

"There will be heavy rainfall for the next 24 hours. The floods will increase," she added.

Government weather forecaster Bernie de Leon said that in the 24 hours to Tuesday morning, 323 millimetres (13 inches) of rain fell on the capital, compared to average monthly rainfall of 504 millimetres for August.

The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council said that while some 20,000 people fled to evacuation centres overnight, many more sought refuge in relatives' homes.

The La Mesa dam overflow and a high tide on Manila Bay conspired to worsen the flooding, it said.

Torrential rains brought the Philippines capital to a standstill Tuesday, forcing at least 20,000 people to flee their homes as floodwaters covered half the sprawling city, authorities said.

Schools, financial markets and most government and private offices were shut as key roadways in Manila -- a metropolis of some 15 million people -- were submerged by waters that in some areas reached neck-deep.

Residents of low-lying slums fled the huge shantytowns lining Manila's rivers and sewers for the safety of schools, gymnasiums and government buildings as the downpour generated by seasonal monsoons struck overnight.

Army trucks hauled stranded residents from their homes, while enterprising children fashioned crude rafts out of scrap wood and banana tree trunks and charged people to ferry them around.

Power was turned off in some parts of the capital as a precautionary measure as the waters seeped into electrical facilities, the city's power distributor said.

In some areas of the city, people were trapped on the second floor of their houses by the fast-rising waters, said Cora Agulan of the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council.

She said there were many calls for help but in some areas it was too dangerous for rescuers to try to reach those stranded.

"The current is too strong so we have to tie our rubber boats with ropes to keep them from being swept away," she said.

How many faces do you see?

Hemp

Hemp can easily be deemed as the magical ingredient for booming sexual health. Its multifarious uses have been aiding sexual fervour in men ever since ancient times. Extracts from its seed, sap and vine have been said to contain sufficient quantities of monounsaturated fatty acids and essential oil to aid in an electrifying sexual experience. -- http://ph.she.yahoo.com/

Honey

A fantastically rich source of boron, the sweet nectarine goodness of honey is said to boost the sex drive and induce delayed orgasms. Its rich Vitamin B content helps in producing testosterone to aid in better sexual health.

Saffron

The extremely exotic spice is exactly what you need to stroke the flame of passion. When taken with warm milk, it is said to boost sexual energies and help you keep going all night long.

Strawberries

These beautiful morsels are an excellent source of Vitamin C. The enchanting aroma and scintillating taste is what makes them such a powerful aphrodisiac. Try eating strawberries together; you’ll soon be consumed by a flood of passion.

Wine

A glass of red wine is desire personified. The essential nutrients in wine help reduce stress, lower heart rate and stabilise hormones. Drinking a glass of red wine dulls your inhibitions and increases your libido, ensuring that the sun never sets on your passionate coupling.

Truffles

Although completely exotic and exceedingly rare, truffles are among the best dietary aphrodisiacs known to man. A small quantity grated on to your pasta will not only call for good taste, but also for raging intercourse post-consumption. Truffles heighten the skin’s sensitivity to touch, thereby making sure that the passion never dies out.

Pine Nuts

Rich in essential fatty acids and iron, pine nuts have been a constant solution for men, since the medieval times. Their fatty acids help in maintaining sexual fertility, and enhancing testosterone and sperm production, resulting in overall sexual well-being.

Foie Gras

This decadently exotic food is an extremely stimulating aphrodisiac at its best. Made from the liver of a fattened duck, foie gras contains sufficient quantities of iron and zinc to boost blood circulation and nerve sensitivity. This results in lasting erections and delayed orgasm.

Figs

Figs are steeped in Biblical references and historical origins and are known as the oldest aphrodisiac known to man. Not only do they improve health, they also stimulate lasting erections, delayed climaxes and increased fertility.

Basil

A sprinkle of dried basil in your pasta is sure to send your sweetheart into a passionate frenzy. Basil is the most common, and therefore, the most effective of all aphrodisiacs. With its enchanting aroma and stimulating taste, it is said to induce passionate lovemaking. The heat from the aroma leads to the productions of powerful pheromones that build up sexual attraction in men.

Hmm, uhaw sa pagdayeg unya talamayon diay?

Asparagus

Asparagus has had its aphrodisiacal properties proven, ever since its use in 16th century France. Rich in potassium, thiamine, folic acid, Vitamins A, C and E, asparagus helps boost orgasms with its histamine properties.

Green Leafy Vegetables

Green leafy vegetables are fresh sources of zinc, iron and the essential vitamins that aid in proper physical development and sexual sustenance.

Avocado

Also known as butter fruit, avocadoes are extremely rich sources of monounsaturated fats. These fats help in proper testosterone synthesis and maintain energy levels during intercourse.

Salmon

The wild variety is an extremely good source of Omega-3 fatty acids. These essential oils help in proper glandular development and lead to increased response to arousal. Roll up some salmon sushi, pour a glass of wine and let passions take over.

Guava

If you love guavas, then you’re in for a treat! Guavas are rich in Vitamin C and help in improving blood circulation. They also promote lasting erections. Besides, can there be anything sexier than sharing a bowl of frozen fruit salad on a sweltering summer afternoon?

Basin apil pud na...

He he, how fast time flies...

Maca Roots

If you are unfazed by its humble appearance, don’t let its unattractiveness fool you. Sworn by the Peruvians to be the most powerful aphrodisiac ever, Maca roots boost sexual strength and libido. A confirmed super food, Maca roots not only add zing to any given dish, but also improve immunity and functionality.

Goji Berries

The deemed super foods of South East Asia, Goji Berries are natural wonders in the guise of aphrodisiacs. These sweet little nubs are packed with essential vitamins to boost testosterone and sperm production. Not only do they alter moods but also aid in better sexual arousal.

Gingko Biloba

This oriental herb is a natural boon for sexual productivity. Gingko Biloba is packed with essential nutrients that help in increasing fertility and aid in sexual arousal.

Celery

Celery is a storehouse of andesterone, a pheromone that arouses sexual attraction in women. Including enough of this crunchy vegetable into your diet will ensure a raging sex life for as long as you live.

Ginseng

Ginseng is literally called the root of desire. Ginseng extracts have been known to initiate sexual attraction by stabilising hormone levels. A regular dose is guaranteed to set the bedroom ablaze with desire and passion.

Pomegranate Juice

If you suffer from erectile dysfunction, grab a glass of pomegranate juice immediately. The health benefits of pomegranate have been celebrated for its tendency to improve circulation and aid in proper organ development, but its aphrodisiacal qualities have been sorely undermined. A cup of pomegranate juice contains enough antioxidants to abolish free radicals from the body. This leads to better blood circulation and lasting erections.

Bananas

Bananas are rightfully shaped so suggestively. With the abundant content of Vitamin B6, a healthy intake of bananas helps in regulating hormones and serotonin secretion. Serotonin is mainly responsible for the euphoric feeling of complete satisfaction after intercourse. The sugar content is a careful balance of complex and simple sugars that provide you with enough energy to last all night.

Garlic

Do not judge the mean little clove by its stench. Garlic contains a surprisingly high amount of allicin, which helps to regulate the flow of blood to the sexual organs. A daily dose of garlic will help boost the libido and prevent sexual fatigue.

Almonds

Almonds are replete in essential oils that aid in testosterone production. The increased levels help in sustaining better intercourse and prolonged copulation. A handful of almonds consumed daily will help sustain raging libidos.

Oysters

It is easy to be judgmental about oysters because of their slimy appearance and pungent taste. But ask a Frenchman and he’d swear by its aphrodisiacal properties that can send women into an uncontrollable sexual frenzy. Loaded with zinc and monounsaturated oils, oysters aid in an unparalleled sexual experience.

Pumpkin Seeds

If you hate pumpkins, then you cannot afford to hate the delicious little seeds within. These seeds are the key to let loose your inner sexual beast. Complete with large quantities of zinc and essential fatty acids, these seeds are a go-to for people seeking a raging sex life.

Ginger

The acrid heat of ginger not only makes for a fine cup of spiced tea, but also adds spice to your sex life. Ginger extracts induce elevated heart rates and higher body temperatures. What more can one need?

Cardamom

With its roots in the Indian Vedas, Cardamoms are proven aphrodisiacs. Rich in cineole, a small pinch of cardamom powder is enough to release nerve stimulants to keep fuelling your passions all night long.

Chillies

When people talk of chillies setting their hearts on fire, they don’t mean it lightly. Capsaicin, the essential compound that gives heat, is responsible for an influx of endorphins. This results in heightened blood circulation, stimulated nerves and an increased heart rate. A mere bite can imitate the state of arousal and make you sweaty and excited.

Cacao

Do you ever wonder why women deem chocolates to be the next best thing to sex? It is because dark chocolate contains enough natural stimulants to fuel physical agility during the act. Just one bite is enough to release enough endorphins to delay the climax and provide enough strength to engage in a never-ending night of passion. Besides, nothing can be sexier than licking melted dark chocolate off her naked skin.

CLAYTON, Mo. (AP) â€" A judge sentenced a Missouri woman to consecutive life prison terms for sexually assaulting her infant daughter along with a California man she met online.

Attorneys for 22-year-old Tessa Vanvlerah, of Ballwin, failed to persuade St. Louis County Circuit Judge Colleen Dolan to sentence their client Monday only to probation, because they argue that a psychological disorder is largely to blame for her crimes, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported.

Vanvlerah pleaded guilty in January to incest, statutory sodomy and statutory rape in the attacks against her daughter, who is 3 but who was 5 months old when the pair first attacked her. The woman who fostered and then adopted the girl said initially, the girl would scream when anyone bathed her or changed her diaper. She still has night terrors and asks at each bedtime to make sure nobody else comes into the home.

However, she said the girl is improving day by day and “is no longer Tessa’s plaything and she is no longer Tessa’s child.”

Vanvlerah was arrested in 2010 following the arrest of 49-year-old Kenneth Kyle, a California State University East Bay professor, on child pornography charges. Along with hundreds of child porn images on Kyle’s computers, investigators found information that led them to the St. Louis area, where Kyle had visited Vanvlerah four times in five months since meeting online. During those visits, prosecutors say the pair had sex with the girl and each other at various hotels.

Kyle pleaded guilty to a federal child sexual abuse charge and was sentenced in March to 37½ years in prison.

Forensic psychologist Dr. Brooke Kraushaar testified at Vanvlerah’s sentencing hearing that Vanvlerah’s dependent-personality disorder caused her to participate in Kyle’s sexual fantasies, even though she knew sex acts involving the baby were wrong.

Kraushaar, who was hired by defense lawyers Brent Labovitz and Kevin Whiteley, described Vanvlerah as “a passive offender.” She said Vanvlerah was so afraid of being rejected by others that she also allowed Kyle to choke, burn and urinate on her.

But assistant prosecutor Kathi Alizadeh disputed the diagnosis, pointing out that Vanvlerah exercised free will in electronic communications with another man. Vanvlerah carved her nickname for the man, “Lord Nikon,” into her skin at his request, the prosecutor said, but drew the line at one of his suggestions involving bestiality.

Alizadeh said police learned that Vanvlerah and another man, from Avon, Mo., exchanged child porn and discussed plans for him to come to St. Louis to have sex with the infant, but it was never acted upon.

In 2008, when Vanvlerah was 18, a woman obtained a court order of protection against her, accusing her of seducing and having sex with the woman’s 16-year-old autistic son. Alizadeh said it resulted in Vanvlerah’s pregnancy. -- http://www.nationalmemo.com/
