Peach Faced Lovebird (Agapornis Roseicollis)
Description:
The Rosy-faced Lovebird is a fairly small bird, 17–18 cm long with an average wing length of 106 mm and tail length of 44–52 mm. Wild birds are mostly green with a blue rump. The face and throat are pink, darkest on the forehead and above the eye. The bill is horn coloured, the iris is brown and the legs and feet are grey. The pink of the A. r. roseicollis is lighter than of the A. r. catumbella. Juvenile birds have a pale pink face and throat, a greenish fore crown and crown, and the beak has a brownish base.
Distribution and habitat:
It inhabits dry, open country in southwest Africa. Its range extends from southwest Angola across most of Namibia to the lower Orange River valley in northwest South Africa. It lives up to 1,600 metres above sea-level in broad-leaved woodland, semi-desert, and mountainous areas. It is dependent on the presence of water sources and gathers around pools to drink.
Escapes from captivity are frequent in many parts of the world and feral birds dwell in Arizona and London.
Housing:
Lovebirds, being active birds, need some room to move in their cage. A cage at least 24" W x 14" D x 30" H (60 W x 35 D x 75 H cm) is a good size.[citation needed] The bars should be spaced no wider than 3/8" (1 cm) apart, otherwise the bird will be able to stick its head through the bars. A variety of perches will allow the lovebird to exercise its feet and prevent arthritis. The perches should be at least 4" (10 cm) long and 1/2" (13 mm) in diameter. A variety of different toys placed in the cage may prevent a pet parrot from boredom and loneliness. The parrot's chewing and playing may break some toys and small detachable parts may be dangerous to the parrot.
Feeding:
Rosy-faced Lovebirds require a variety of foods, including vegetables, seeds, and fruits; nevertheless, some human foods are unsuitable or poisonous for them, including dairy products, chocolate, cheese, avocado, rhubarb, and strawberries (which contain trace amounts of carcinogenic pesticides). Perishable food that has been placed in the birds' housing for more than 24 hours is also likely to be unsuitable. Grapes, carrots, beans, squash, corn, millet, quinoa, and winterwheat are excellent foods. They can also eat various manufactured food pellets and pastas. Suitable seed and pellet mixes include a large array of different seed types.
Personality:
Rosy-faced Lovebirds get their name for their affection towards their owner or other birds. Lovebirds are very playful and love to have all the attention centered around them. If trained correctly, Rosy-faced Lovebirds will happily perch on a human's shoulder. All lovebirds are unique; they all have different temperaments. Some are calmer than others, while some are extremely stubborn. All lovebirds require companionship, however, be it from a human or another Rosy-faced Lovebird purchased as a companion. Two lovebirds may not interact with a human owner as much as if they were by themselves. Two lovebirds may not get along, and may have to be separated.

Cafe World Cheat
I received lots of questions about Cafe World Cheats on how to cheat on counters, why it’s not working with them, what to do, why there are some errors, the game messed up, my PC crashed and so on and so forth.
First and foremost, when you agree to use the Cheat Engine, you also agree to take the consequences. Nobody encourage you to use the cheat engine, thus, I told you on my previous post that if you want to download the cheat engine, download it at your own risk. You are the one responsible to whatever actions or decisions you make.
Second, nobody encourage you to cheat. It is your will and choice to cheat cafe world or other games in Facebook. So, when things go wrong with your game after using the Cafe World Cheats, just accept it. We can’t do anything about it.
Anyway, in relation to some questions that I’ve been receiving, let me share some Cafe World Cheat Tips that you may encounter upon doing some Cafe World Cheats.
Cafe World Cheats On Counters are the same procedure on “How To Cheat Stoves“, but for others let me share again the procedure for you to follow.
Reminder: Zynga Networks Inc. is trying to fix this glitch in Cafe World so at anytime this cheat may not work anymore. Please proceed with caution.
Cafe World Cheat Tips
1. Make sure you have the cheat engine 5.5, since this is the software you need to do some cheats. Again, let me reiterate that when you download it, you know what are the consequences that might happen in your computer and with your game.
2. This cheat will only work with Firefox or Internet Explorer. So, if your problem is just you don’t have Firefox to perform it, it’s so simple honey, you can just simply download Firefox for free or if you don’t want to download it, just use Internet Explorer instead.
3. So far, Cheat Engine 5.5 is not available in Mac so if your using Mac, I’m so sorry. I think you need to buy extra PC. =)
4. If you’re hesitant and worried that it might screw up your game, better not cheat, just play the game as it is and just enjoy it.
5. You can create another account to experiment this Cafe World Cheat if it’s working or not so not to screw up your current game.
6. If your game screwed up, there are only two reasons, first, you didn’t follow the correct procedure or you did not understand how to do it.
Cafe World Cheats On Counters
1. Go to Cafe World and open your cheat engine.
2. Select the program you are using. If you’re using Firefox ,select Firefox and open.
3. Click “Functional Icon” then the “Counter Icon”. You will see 4 of 4 counters used (depends on how many counters you have in used).
4. Go to cheat engine and put “4″ on the hex box then hit “First Scan”.
5. Drag 1 counter down into your inventory, so you’ll have 3 of 4 used counters.
6. Go back to cheat engine and change the number in the hex box from 4 to 3 then press “Next Scan”.
7. Repeat step 5 and this time you’ll have 2 of 4 counters used. Repeat step 6, change the number in the hex box from 3 to 2 then press “Next Scan”.
8. Repeat steps 5 and 6 until you have 1-3 addresses found on the left side of the cheat engine.
9. Double click each addresses to go down at the bottom part of the cheat engine.
10. Change the value of all remaining addresses to 1 and then click the “frozen box” to freeze.
11. Go to Cafe World and add the counters as many as you like. Don’t leave without saving, click the “Green check Mark’ to save.
12. To check if your counters are being saved, go to your neighbors and then go back to your cafe, you’ll see if it was saved or not.
As of today, the Cafe World Cheats are still working. I have checked it before posting this post.

fighting fish
Mga friendship ipinakikilala ko po ang aming bagong pet si “SIAM” ahihi. isa po siyang Fighting Fish ang hobby niya ang makipaglaban sa kanyang sarili niya sa salamin. Ang hilig niya magwiggle ng mga fins niya. We got him yesterday March 2, 2009.Kapag wala siyang nakikitang reflections niya sa mirror masyado siyang tahimik. Akala ko nga kagabi dead na siya haha. Paano nasa isang sulok lang siya. Ang hilig pa niya sumiksik sa kung saan saan. Sa ilalim ng mga decoration ng aquarium niya.

Punyeta kang Chip Tsao ka!!! Hayup ba kami? Parang napakalinis ng bansa ninyo ha? Perpekto ka ba? Go To Hell... Damn It.. Asshole ka!! Wag ka makatungtong ng Pilipinas...! Di ka makakalabas ng BUHAY dito!
“The Russians sank a Hong Kong freighter last month, killing the seven Chinese seamen on board. We can live with that—Lenin and Stalin were once the ideological mentors of all Chinese people. The Japanese planted a flag on Diàoyú Island. That’s no big problem—we Hong Kong Chinese love Japanese cartoons, Hello Kitty, and shopping in Shinjuku, let alone our round-the-clock obsession with karaoke.
But hold on—even the Filipinos? Manila has just claimed sovereignty over the scattered rocks in the South China Sea called the Spratly Islands, complete with a blatant threat from its congress to send gunboats to the South China Sea to defend the islands from China if necessary. This is beyond reproach. The reason: there are more than 130,000 Filipina maids working as $3,580-a-month cheap labor in Hong Kong. As a nation of servants, you don’t flex your muscles at your master, from whom you earn most of your bread and butter.
As a patriotic Chinese man, the news has made my blood boil. I summoned Louisa, my domestic assistant who holds a degree in international politics from the University of Manila, hung a map on the wall, and gave her a harsh lecture. I sternly warned her that if she wants her wages increased next year, she had better tell every one of her compatriots in Statue Square on Sunday that the entirety of the Spratly Islands belongs to China.Grimly, I told her that if war breaks out between the Philippines and China, I would have to end her employment and send her straight home, because I would not risk the crime of treason for sponsoring an enemy of the state by paying her to wash my toilet and clean my windows 16 hours a day. With that money, she would pay taxes to her government, and they would fund a navy to invade our motherland and deeply hurt my feelings.
Oh yes. The government of the Philippines would certainly be wrong if they think we Chinese are prepared to swallow their insult and sit back and lose a Falkland Islands War in the Far East. They may have Barack Obama and the hawkish American military behind them, but we have a hostage in each of our homes in the Mid-Levels or higher. Some of my friends told me they have already declared a state of emergency at home. Their maids have been made to shout “China, Madam/Sir” loudly whenever they hear the word “Spratly.” They say the indoctrination is working as wonderfully as when we used to shout, “Long live Chairman Mao!” at the sight of a portrait of our Great Leader during the Cultural Revolution. I’m not sure if that’s going a bit too far, at least for the time being.”

AGE: 30
OCCUPATION: Boxer
PREVIOUS APPEARANCES ON THE TIME 100: 0
PRO: The Filipino prizefighter — better known as "Pac-Man" — stunned the boxing world in December by defeating Oscar De La Hoya. He's readying a move into politics, where his popularity should land him another knockout: Pacquiao's bouts are so heavily viewed in the Philippines, the crime rate goes down when he brawls.
CON: Fans have been vocally displeased with his decision to go into politics. And he has a lot of fans.

Cleverbot

Jabberwacky is an artificial intelligence - a chat robot, often known as a 'chatbot' or 'chatterbot'. It aims to simulate natural human chat in an interesting, entertaining and humorous manner.
Jabberwacky is different. It learns. In some ways it models the way humans learn language, facts, context and rules.
The whole thing started way back in 1988, and went on the web in 1997. It is unique - not related to any other known AI technologies!
The 'general AI' of Jabberwacky stores everything everyone has ever said, and finds the most appropriate thing to say using contextual pattern matching techniques. In speaking to you it uses just that learnt material, and borrows a little bit of your intelligence as it learns more. With no hard-coded rules, it relies entirely on the principles of feedback. This is very different to the majority of chatbots, which are rule-bound and finite. If you speak in a foreign language it will learn it, and respond appropriately if it has enough to go on. It can be taught slang English, word games, jokes and any other form of identifiable language trait. Everyone contributes, so everyone can enjoy chatting - you could say it's a conversational wikipedia.
Learning purely from conversation gives an AI's general intelligence and character - but is not meant for use in business circumstances where more control over conversational flow is required. For that reason we have a commercial set of Scripting tools that allow for a branching tree of possibilities, plus loops, returns, sentence generation from phrases within phrases, predictions, data extraction and lots more, all handled very unlike any other technology - with fuzzy pattern matching, variety and deep context. Naturally the more freeform "general AI" is combined with this approach to give the best of both worlds.
Icogno Ltd is Jabberwacky's commercially-oriented parent company. The Icogno website contains many pages that will explain further our approach to AI.

Lemongrass
Lemon grass or the local tanglad (scientific name: Cymbopogon ciatrus) is one of those wondrous herbs that one can always associate with Asian cooking Thai, Malaysian and Vietnamese homegrown meal enthusiasts always have this tropical grass at hand for its aromatic citrus flavor with a trace of ginger. Few people know that its other popular name is citronella - the common scent you usually find in candles, perfumes and soaps. Citronella is known for its calming effect that relieves insomnia or stress. It is also considered as a mild insect repellant. But more than scent, tanglad or lemon grass provides a lot of health benefits. Studies have shown that the lemon grass has antibacterial and antifungal properties. Mixed with pepper, it's a home therapy for menstrual troubles and nausea. Drank as tea, it is an effective diuretic. When it comes to pets, citronella is used to neutralize excessive barking of dogs. Since dogs hate citronella, it is sprayed to dogs to prevent them from barking or just to lessen the behavior. The Lemon grass is a good cleanser that helps to detoxify the Liver, pancreas, kidney, bladder and the digestive tract. It cuts down uric acid, cholesterol, excess fats and other toxins in the body while stimulating digestion, blood circulation, and lactation; it also alleviates indigestion and gastroenteritis. It is said that lemongrass also helps improve the skin by reducing acne and pimples and acts as a muscle and tissue toner. Also, it can reduce blood pressure. Just make a concoction by boiling some lemon grass leaves, let it cool for a while and drink the liquid. The leaves and base of this tender perennial are used as a food flavoring, particularly in fish and poultry dishes, and its essential oils are used medicinally. Its distinctive flavor balances hot chillies and contributes to the elaborate, multi-layered flavors of many dishes in South East Asian cuisine. As the long, thin, grey-green leaves are tough and fibrous, the outside leaves and the tips are usually chopped very finely or discarded from the dish before it is served. The base is often ground. Citral, an essential oil also found in lemon peel, is the constituent responsible for its taste and aroma. Lemon grass, also known as Sweet Rush and sometimes called Fever Grass in the Caribbean, can be used as a remedy for ague, fevers, and colds. Filipino ingenuity has produced a commercial beverage made from lemon grass. A concentrate composed of lemon grass juice and muscovado sugar bottled in attractive design. A recent study by the Food and Nutrition Research Institute of the department of Science and technology ( DOST ) claims that every 100g of edible tanglad when boiled can contain up to 24.205 micrograms of beta-carotene the anti-oxidant that scientists believe can help prevent cancer. Another DOST study shows that lemon grass oil has the potential as a tropical eye medication against keratomycosis, an inflammation of cornea often associated with burning or blurring of vision.

Kiko (King of Pinoy Rap)
also known as Francis M, Master Rapper, and The Man From Manila, he was a prominent Filipino rapper, songwriter, producer, actor, director, and photographer. Often hailed as the “King of Pinoy Rap”, he was considered a legend in the Philippine music community. With the success of his earliest albums, he was the first Filipino rapper in the Philippines cross over to the mainstream. He is also credited for having pioneered the merging of rap with Pinoy rock, becoming a significant influence to artists in that genre as well. He was also a popular television host, notably on MTV Asia where he served as one of the channel’s first Filipino VJs, and on noontime variety television show Eat Bulaga!. Magalona died on March 6, 2009 at the age of 44 due to acute myelogenous leukemia.
