Pacquiao vs Cotto


The Pacquiao vs Cotto is the most awaited fight.Manny Pacquiao was very confident to win his fight against Cotto , and I know that even Cotto is much bigger and Stronger in his own way, Pacquiao still has the moves and tactics that Cotto will soon get experience. And I can’t wait to see Cotto‘s face as Pacman throw solid punches.

I feel stronger at this weight than I ever have. My punches are harder, my speed is intact. I keep getting warned about Cotto’s body attack but Cotto should be worried about my body attack,” he said. Pacquiao, who’s won 49 fights, lost 3 and drawn 2, knocked out Britain’s Ricky Hatton at the MGM Grand in May, and defeated boxing legend Oscar De La Hoya there in December of last year.

But he’s not taking Cotto lightly, he said. “Cotto is the champion for this fight and he is not as easy as people think,” the Filipino said. “He trained hard for this fight that is why we have to focus.

Pacquiao said, I am prepared for anything he has to offer. I have studied all his tapes, and I feel like I know him like I know myself.” He was “confident of success.”

“I know what I’m capable of doing, and there is no doubt in my mind that I’m going to win this fight,” said Cotto, and also warned the Pacquiao camp not to be cocky. The Filipino’s camp has been touting the possibility of mouth-watering bout with American great Floyd Mayweather Jr next year.

“It’s going to be a great fight between two great fighters,” Cotto, 29, is half an inch taller than his rival and possibly slightly heavier. The official weigh-in is on Friday. Cotto is confident he can defend his title, he said. “I’m prepared for the speed of Manny. My hand speed is pretty equal to Manny’s. But can Manny’s power equal Miguel Cotto’s on Saturday night?” he asked.

A Filipino will always be a Filipino, strong and not afraid to fight, even to those who we bigger than them, besides with God on Paquiao,s side, whom shall he fear?, we all know that David won over Goliath.

Why choose wooden toys?


Most of the people today buy expensive and not useful toys, but they did not know that modern high tech toys are designed to amuse and distract children and are often noisy and over stimulating. It is best that you buy wooden toys tend to inspire creative and imaginative play in children. They allow children to engage in meaningful play, developing cognitive and problem-solving skills that they will carry throughout the rest of their lives. The natural textures of wooden toys stimulate the child’s senses as they invite children to touch, feel and explore.
Educational wooden toys are an important tool in child's development. Many educational wooden toys build critical lateral thinking and problem solving skills and help build fine motor skills
The environment of a child with natural toys is quiet, calm and more beautiful than in a room with battery-operated plastic toys
Wooden toys are much safer all-natural alternative to plastic toys as they do not contain high levels of chemicals and toxins. This is particularly important with babies who tend to put everything into their mouths. Traditional toys are made of natural materials, so they are built by artisans and craftsmen, not toxic plastic factories. Wooden toys don't need batteries, electricity, or software patches so they are kind to our planet.

The Importance of colors and contrast in web design.

The Importance of colors and contrast in web design.

In creating your web designs, it is important that it is pleasing to the eye.

In this world, the color theme of a site is obviously important. A lot of aspiring designers have a tenancy to use too many colors, simply because they’re there. But I like using no more than 2 primary colors and a third “secondary” color that I will use sparingly throughout the design. A simple color theme is easier on the eyes, easier to “comprehend” and overall just looks better. Of course there are exceptions to this, but 9 times out of 10, it’s always better to keep the color theme simple.

The color theme also needs to connect with the visitors and the purpose of the site. For example, I wouldn’t use blue and florescent green/yellow for a site about health - it simply doesn’t make sense and I think that’s a given.

Contrast is hugely important. It’s very important that your content and navigation are correctly contrasted. The foreground text needs to either be very dark, or very light in comparison with the background color. I see a lot of sites where the text will be a light gray and the background is white - err! That’s very annoying and hard to read.

How to become a good web designer?


I know how difficult it is when you really want to design a great looking site, but simply have no idea where to start because of the huge lack of quality tutorials.

A web design is the skill of designing presentations of content that is delivered to an end-user through the World Wide Web, by way of a Web browser or other Web-enabled software like Internet television clients, microblogging clients and RSS readers.

Tableless web design (or tableless web layout) is a method of web design and development without using HTML tables for page layout control...

Web design is the designing and graphical presentation of content shown on the Internet in the form of Web sites and other Web applications using many different forms of media. The basic design of most pages on the Web use HTML, CSS, and the newest form of language, XHTML
Many webmasters wish they could design great looking sites, but simply can’t. They’ve given it a few attempts, but either due to lack of application knowledge (with apps like photoshop), or lack of “artistic talent”, they give up. And that’s fine, because it keeps the market for design healthy! ;) But no, it really doesn’t have to be like that. If you’re an aspiring designer, you must have guts to aim what you target. They are what helped me through my path to becoming a good designer, and they should help you too if you follow them.

Colorful rugs that kids love!


Children rooms should have toys for kids to play with, but it would be best if you can also find decor that is educational and can be used as a toy itself. A great decorating tip for rooms is to have children rugs. It must be colorful and have animated drawings to make them look much better for the rooms of your child.
Most of the kids like to play on the floor and move around their toy trains or colored blocks. For crawling babies it can be more comfortable on a rug than compared to the bare floor. There are many different types of children rugs that come with different images, designs, textures, and colors. Finding the right rug is different for waiting rooms than your home. For waiting rooms, you have to find a rug that will hold up to more foot traffic and playing. At home, only your child and their friends will be playing on it, so there will be less wear and tear. For a doctor's office, it would be best to find a rug that is easy to clean since there probably isn't a washer and dryer at the office like there would be at your home.
You can find rugs that are specifically designed for girls, boys, or neutral. If you are decorating at home you can be more specific with the design of the rug but for waiting rooms it is best to find a neutral designed rug. There are rugs with pictures of cities on them with buildings, streets, shops, and people that both boys and girls could play with. You could also get a multi- colored rug with colored blocks, or find an area rug that has games designed on it like tic-tac-toe. For something more educational you could decorate the area with a rug that has letters or numbers on it. Find a rug that will appropriate for the child or waiting room you are decorating.

Who is Santa Claus any way?


My childhood memories are sweet and funny…I love holidays as other children do and most of all I love Santa Clause. I still remember the coca-cola advertisement, the lyrics of the song goes like this...Holidays are coming, holiday are coming and then the train approaches where Santa rides and blink as he drink a coke. I really love that advertisement because I can see the face of Santa. I am now 22 years old and still love Santa clause. But who is Claus any way?

also known as Saint Nicholas, Father Christmas, Kris Kringle, or simply "Santa", is a historical, legendary and mythical figure who, in Western cultures, is described as bringing gifts on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day, or on his feast day, December 6. The legend may have its basis in hagiographical tales concerning the historical figure of Saint Nicholas.

The modern depiction of Santa Claus as a fat, jolly man (or elf) wearing a red coat and trousers with white cuffs and collar, and black leather belt and boots, became popular in the United States in the 19th century due to the significant influence of caricaturist and political cartoonist Thomas Nast. This image has been maintained and reinforced through song, radio, television, and films. In the United Kingdom and Europe, his depiction is often identical to the American Santa, but he is commonly called Father Christmas.

One legend associated with Santa says that he lives in the far north, in a land of perpetual snow. The American version of Santa Claus lives at the North Pole, while Father Christmas is said to reside in Finland. Other mythological details include: he is married and lives with Mrs. Claus; that he makes a list of children throughout the world, categorizing them according to their behavior; that he delivers presents, including toys, candy, and other presents to all of the good boys and girls in the world, and sometimes coal or sticks to the naughty children, in one night; and that he accomplishes this feat with the aid of magical elves who make different kinds of toys, and flying reindeer who pull his sleigh.

What ever and who ever Santa Clause is, He is still the number one hero and favorite of millions of children around the world.

Caregiving for others,the most heroic job.



Giving care for other people is the most heroic job. But this includes a lot of effort and accompanied by big responsibilities. The main requirement for a successful caregiver is to take good care to another person who suffers medical suffering.

People who wish to become caregivers as a career or through a designated care of a relative is not an easy task. As with a previous post, people who work as caregivers often know the fact that setting boundaries with regards to the patient/caregiver relationship is a hard and difficult one especially for stay-in jobs.

The more time is spent with the patient, the more a bond forms that may even grow more than that was established in a lifetime with one’s own family. The elderly are some of the ones who need a lot of compassion and understanding especially for cases of other mental debilitating diseases that can or cannot be age-related

Mobility is another issue for as people age, the conflict between their drive to maintain independence and the need for assistance is hard to diffuse so first observe then take action as needed based on observations.

Time establishes an unbreakable bond between patient and the one caring for them for they spend some of the most intimate times together, during painful treatment and even till death. These people are some of the least decorated heroes of society. People who choose to care for others, and sacrificing their own lives for them that even with pay can still be an emotional roller coaster.
