So yeah, once or twice a day, my power goes out for about 2 hours. Very disruptive to me, but also to those coordinating relief efforts. - Nick in Manila
Nick in Manila:
Massive humanitarian relief efforts are continuing and have been for quite some time now. No let up. It's pre-occupying a lot of peoples' time.
Nick in Manila:
Metro manila - the economic center of the country - has been placed under rotating blackouts - two to four hours a day each - because of the explosion and fire at a power transformer south of the City at a huge, critical power substation. That just happened last night.

"Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'Press On' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race." ---Calvin Coolidge (1872 - 1933)
"I have come to the conclusion that politics are too serious a matter to be left to the politicians." Charles De Gaulle (1890 - 1970)
