MANILA (Reuters) - A man who started a day care center in the Philippine capital Manila seized a bus full of children and teachers from the center on Wednesday and held them hostage, apparently to highlight corruption in the country.

The man identified as Jun Ducat, accompanied by at least one other man and believed to be armed with grenades, an Uzi submachine gun and a revolver, freed one child who was running a fever in a four-hour standoff.

Patio Furniture, originally uploaded by sevenpelicans.

Dan and I have been frequenting the patio furniture in front of Albertson’s here in Visalia. This 5 piece conversion set for $399 is my favorite. It kinda makes me want a patio set but, then I think of the steps one should have to take prior to owning a patio set. First, I would need my own place, then my own patio, then extra cash sitting around for patio furniture and then the time to sit around in patio furniture. They all seem to contradict one another in reverse order.

When I see something like this I just think how crucial it is to have good parental influence while raising a child.
