Kael has always been fast for a retriever. Even though she has elbow dysplasia and arthritis, she has always been able to put on a burst of speed to outrun her athletic younger retriever brother Ollie. Now that she's older - the bursts of speed are less frequent, but still fun to watch.

Every time I see this, I wonder with the abundance of food in the United States, if the excess of what is slightly 'old' can not only feed our poor, but people in other countries as well.
This all reminds me back a few years ago, when I was on a plan to maintain proper weight through portion control. How much food I ate that I really didn't need to.
On a recent family trip to the city, one fast food place had a promotion to buy one burger and get another free. Each of us bought the promo, and on the way out the door handed our second burger to the poor asking for pocket change.
Enjoy your day!

NEWS RELEASE
TUNE HOTELS’ RAPID EXPANSION IN PHILIPPINES BUOYED BY FASTER-THAN-EXPECTED ECONOMIC GROWTH
Third Tune Hotel opens in Manila; overall six in country
MANILA, October 17, 2013 – The Philippines and its people have all the great things coming their way with an economic wave that has driven direct investments into the country including by international hotel brand Tune Hotels, said its Group CEO Mark Lankester.
“This is a great market for us to do business. In less than two years we already have six hotels in operation in the Philippines, including the newly opened Tune Hotel Quezon City in Manila. Not to mention four more to come in Ortigas, Davao, Aseana City and Ayala Avenue in Metro Manila within the next nine months,” said Lankester.
The 140-room Tune Hotel Quezon City, located at Timog Avenue, is the group’s third hotel in Metro Manila. It opened its doors for business on October 8.
The first Tune Hotel in the Philippines opened at Angeles City in Pampanga in February 2012, followed by Ermita and Makati in Metro Manila, Cebu City and Cagayan De Oro.
International economic and financial agencies including the World Bank and Asian Development Bank have revised the Philippines’ 2013 Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth upward to 7 per cent from around 6 per cent previously. This makes the Philippines the second fastest growing economy in Asia after China, and ahead of all its Southeast Asian neighbors. The strong growth is forecast to be sustained into coming years.
“This is a really great year for the Philippines and its people. The economy is booming, there is a great mood amongst the people and there are plenty of new jobs being created. Tourism within and into the Philippines is expanding massively, with really successful government marketing campaigns and the recent lifting of the European flights will only help contribute further to the tourism economy. In addition Filipinos have also made their mark on the Regional and International arena,” he said in reference to Filipino personalities like Jonathan Yabut who emerged the first ever winner of ‘The Apprentice Asia’ and Miss World 2013 Megan Young.
“There is a noticeable mood in the air that it really is the time for the Philippines to shine.”
Lankester had played Advisor to Tony Fernandes on the first ever ‘The Apprentice Asia’, the regional adaptation of the US reality series ‘The Apprentice’ this year.
He added: “It is very interesting to note that the Philippines has surpassed India as Asia’s top call-centre service provider, proving that it has quality human capital that are capable of driving the country to the next level.”
The Philippines has set a target of 10 million international tourist arrivals by 2016, more than double the 4.3 million tourists it received in 2012. Arrivals for 2013 have been projected at 5.5 million, contributing some PHP 1.5 trillion or 6.7 per cent to the GDP.
“We are very pleased with the commitment shown by the Department of Tourism and the Government in not only setting targets but to undertake firm initiatives to facilitate further growth of the tourism and travel industry in the Philippines. The country has a lot to offer and is destined to be a favorite destination in the region.
“For Tune Hotels, we look forward to positively contributing towards this effort by providing international standard accommodation at highly affordable rates, giving international tourists and locals alike the holiday experience they deserve. It’s definitely ‘more fun in the Philippines’ with Tune Hotels,” said the CEO.
Tune Hotels provides international-class high-quality accommodation which focuses on key essentials but minus the generally underused facilities found in other hotels such as swimming pools, business centres and gymnasiums. By doing away with these costly and high-maintenance facilities, Tune Hotels is able to pass on savings to its guests in the form of super low room rates. Its pay-as-you-use concept lets travelers choose and pay only for amenities that they require to keep costs down, reduce waste and save energy.
The group has received over five million guests since the opening of its first hotel in Downtown Kuala Lumpur in 2007. With the opening of Quezon City, Tune Hotels now has six hotels in the Philippines, eleven in Malaysia, five each in the UK and Indonesia, four in Thailand, and one each in India, Japan and Australia. Apart from further expansion in these countries, future Tune Hotels are also being planned in the Middle East, Europe and Africa.
Tune Hotels is part of Tune Group, a lifestyle business conglomerate co-founded by Tony Fernandes and Kamarudin Meranun, who are the Group CEO and Deputy Group CEO respectively of Asia’s largest low cost carrier AirAsia.

This shot itself was taken December 2005, on the way to Margret River from Perth in Australia. Probably somewhere near Rockingham. My children are really crazy about Mcdonald's. Among my family members we call it "M". This is because once we say Mcdonald's, the kids immediately react then say "Let's go!". My wife and I feel not every time.
Suddenly I start fasting. I haven't taken food for 24 hours. I am still OK. Tomorrow evening I will take little.
1st Monkey :- Ummm, Fast Food tastes really nice !!!
2nd Monkey (right side) :- Yaah Bro, Urrr right…
(As a matter of fact, these 2 juvenile monkeys are no different from the kids at our home… As of today the kids at most of the houses are similarly addicted to the fast food & their young parents also allow them to have it maybe because they might be really tired after the day’s work at office to cook some tasty snacks at home… Life has become really very busy for all of us… However we should know that as per the medical data available throughout the world, fast food is one of the most prominent reasons for obesity & diabetes among the “Teen” Generation today… This could ruin their future life due to ill health… Think about it)
