My comment is this: Be very careful at buying any real estate property in the Diamond Subd. of Angeles City. It is rife with corruption, fraud, and outright thievery. Since I bought a home here as an ex-pat American it has cost me approx. $12K USD in both lies and out-right thievery. The local police and Barangay official's are totally useless and corrupt as well. Is the Philippines a democracy? No - It is more of the same "crony capitalism" that has existed since time records have ever been kept. Is it any wonder why so may "Pinoys" are lined up every business day at the U.S. Embassy in Manila to get out of this "cesspool" while some American ignoramus continue to describe this place as a "paradise". GIMME A BREAK!!

Andy,
You know that cattle implies bovines without implying the sex, while cows implies females females, or, most precisely, females that have had two or more calves.
I suspect that the horns are left on for several reasons. Taking them off easily requires the use of either electrical units or, I think, an acid, and must be done when small. Later, would require massive cutting, and both would leave a hole in the head that must be medicated. Also, in some cultures, such as on Jersey Island, the cows were lead by a locket or rope around their horns.
As for the breeds, I am not familiar with breeds that produce such massive horns. The black and white on the one indictates that it may have some Holsteing-Friesian in it, though far from pure.

What is bugging your girlfriend is pretty universal I think, Ive lost at least one friend to a bitch wife, I very seldom have an argument with people but she managed to get on my bad side within a day of meeting her, and she started it with insults and shouts. Males seem to me to be more prone to becoming victims of mental violence as is the case of my friend that is totally in her power, perhaps because it is not readily acnowledged that females are capable of any type of violence. Well, they are experts at mental manipulation (same as violence), probably learn from their mothers. Hey! I call em as I see em, men use physical violence and females mental, of the two I prefer the former, the scars of that fade sooner.

More a comment on the kindle than on the authors (who I find write to a formula!)
If it becomes more widely accepted, I really see this as being an essential backpacker item. Sure, you can download a book onto a kindle app for the iphone or similar, but thye kindle is easier to read from. The bonus for travellers is of course no more hefty guidebooks and maps to carry around in the rucksack.

I live in the Philippines and we have the same dogs here. Same dog owners too. Must be a Southeast Asia thing. Complain about the dogs? Not here, someone will pay a visit to your home at night. Then you will be found the next morning face down in the canal.
