The trouble starts when we fall short to satisfy our daily sleep necessity. Everyone is distinctive so this perfect rest quantity may vary, but it's usually about 8 hrs furthermore or minus an hour or two. In obtaining much less than our needed amount, we produce rest debt. This debt or rest deprivation adds up and will not just all of a sudden go absent the subsequent day. The only way to pay off this financial debt is with make up rest over and beyond our every day specifications.
We satisfy Ipod Mp3 Downloads - Total accessibility once a thirty day period and have been doing this once a month for many many years now. What we do is we speak about PR insider secrets and techniques. Really what are we, as publicists doing? So sometimes we have publicists on The Wasabi Club, we have people searching to do PR, perhaps they're small business proprietors, or individuals just generally interested into what is PR and how do you get on things like Oprah and the The These days Show and CBS Early Show and all these fantastic newspapers and magazine.
Otherwise, you might have to convert them utilizing audio file format conversion software. These can be quite pricey. Even if you can get them from a freeware website, it will nonetheless take you lots of time just to change the songs.

In the quest for Mobile telephone retailers: devices And Tons much More downloads it's occasionally simple to get a small carried away, and that's what these download sites rely on.

I recently purchased the AOC E1649FWU, a 16″ USB powered portable second monitor for less than $90. I bought it with the idea of taking it on vacation so that when I have work to do with the laptop I bring along, I will have the use of a second monitor.
I have every intention of using it that way, but right now it has found a home as a second monitor for our family room PC. It works surprisingly well as a second monitor that can be brought out for occasions when doing substantive work on that PC and put away (so as not to clutter the desk at other times).
The monitor fits into an old 17″ laptop bag along with our new ultrabook and is powered by USB, so no need for a heavy power supply.
After the Sony PlayStation 4 E3 press conference announcing that PS4 games could be resold while the Xbox One places restrictions on transfers of games, the Sony policy is being hailed as more "pro-consumer" than that of Microsoft.
I suspect there is less difference than meets the eye and what difference there is exists because of technical differences in how the two consoles handle the DRM (digital rights management) for game software. Contrary to exaggerated claims, it is not as if the PS4 games have no DRM—after all it will obviously not be possible to make copies of your new PS4 games for your friends.
The difference is that Sony is handling DRM at the level of the disk itself, whereas Microsoft is handling DRM by associating a given game with a users online Xbox Live account (the same as their Microsoft Account).
On either console when a game is transferred to a new user, there must be a mechanism of preventing the transferor from continuing to use that game. In the case of the Xbox One, a game seemingly can't be played for more than 24 hours after the console has "checked in" online to confirm the the player is still the authorized owner of the game. In the case of the PS4, the disc itself must be in the drive to play the game.
In theory these systems need not accord significantly different rights to their users as long as there is a means of transferring a game from one Xbox Live account to another Xbox Live account. In practice, the MS policy may be more restrictive in the following ways:
- Publishers can set policies for the transfer of games ("publishers can enable you to trade in your games at participating retailers"). Microsoft would be wise to require that any cross-platform titles have restrictions that are no more limited for Xbox One games than for PS4 games, however so it is not clear how big an issue this will be.
- Transfers to "friends" seem to be artificially limited ("you can only give them to people who have been on your friends list for at least 30 days and each game can only be given once." This seems designed to appease retail sellers of used games (e.g. GameStop)) and to limit the velocity of game turnover— because ownership of Xbox One games can be transferred electronically, more people could play a game and then resell it faster than would be possible with the physical transfer of the disc being required to transfer a game. That being said these restrictions do not seem well tailored to address that issue.
- Game rentals won't exist at launch ("Loaning or renting games won't be available at launch, but we are exploring the possibilities with our partners." There is no obviously easy way to allow rentals of use rights. Even if there was, there would need to be limits because of the increased velocity of transfers/rentals that would be possible.
The bottom line is that we don't yet know whether these restrictions will make a big difference between the Xbox One and the PS4.
In addition, there are some significant advantages to the Xbox One system:
- No need to swap discs to play different games—something I personally dislike and which limits my enjoyment of older titles.
- In a house with multiple Xbox Ones multiple family members can play the same game simultaneously, e.g. we could play a private game of Halo on our four consoles using just one purchased game.
- Game distribution need no longer involve expensive retailers.
- You can have have access to your entire game library from any console.
- You can enable third party add-on storage (e.g. 3TB hard drive) without worrying about DRM.
Of course Microsoft could have set up a a dual system where certain rights were accorded to digital purchases and copies played from physical discs lacked those rights, but I suspect that would have angered retailers.
What should be obvious now is that (i) there is no pareto-optimal way to move to digital distribution, and (ii) neither system is inherently more "pro-consumer."
I wish the Xbox One had at least some form of backwards compatibility with the Xbox 360.
The lack of back compat won't prevent me from buying one on Day 1, but It does mean that
- I will probably buy just one rather than the four I would need to replace all my Xbox 360s.
- I will not be buying any new games between now and the time the Xbox One comes out.
The first point could change if it turns out that the Xbox One is actually a Windows Media Center client or can be used as an extender, but I am not holding my breath.
The second point is slightly counterintuitive in that I won't buy games that I would likely "finish playing" before the Xbox One comes out. Why? Because I like having games in a collection that I could play at any time. This is especially true of Xbox Live Arcade titles that I don't need to put a disc in to play. Do I play the 75+ Xbox Live Arcade Titles I own regularly? Not many, but I like knowing that I could. The Xbox One takes away that capability and that is enough to make me stop buying games.
Interestingly this view of games makes me the hero of the games publishing industry. Rarely will I resell a game I have finished because then it would be gone from my collection. I could start reselling games, but that is more work that just not buying any more for a while.
Besides this will give me time to actually revisit various aspects (including multiplayer) of many of the Xbox 360 titles in my collection. And revisit some excellent XBLA titles I have acquired over the years.
I am the relatively new wner of an HTC One phone and I like it a lot.
I cannot evaluate it in comparison to other contemporary Android phones, but I can say I like it t much better that the HTC One X+ I have had for the past eight months or so.
The HTC One X+ suffered from a number of problems:
- Slow task switching (despite a dedicated button)
- Unresponsiveness that would require a reset every day or two on average.
- An Sense email client that could spend over a minute updating if I just wanted to check my emails.
- A battery that would last a business day if I was lucky.
- A phone that would get hot to the touch in back when used extensively.
- Bluetooth audio controls that were at best a crapshoot as to whether they would pause or start up the audio file I was listening to.
But the HTC One X+ had a bunch of good qualities too, especially in comparison to my old Windows Phone 7 device and iPhone:
- Almost any application was available for it.
- Its 64GB of memory was more than enough.
- I never had any complaint about wireless speed with its LTE.
- The screen was a nice size.
- I liked the rubbery feel of the case.
I feel like the HTC One is a significant improvement over the One X+. I don't have enough experience to know if it is the result of clean installs, new apps or the phone itself, nut I can say my experience is an improvement over the One X+ in a bunch of significant ways:
- The Enhanced Email Client is quite quick and responsive. My only complaints are (i) no access to shared calendars in Exchange and (ii) the Sense email interface is a little nicer. Fortunately I can use it in combination with the Sense Calendar and Contacts apps that don't suffer from the same problems as the Sense email client.
- This phone is really responsive. Task switching works much more quickly than with the One X+ and apps start much more quickly. This makes a big difference in how nice the phone is to use.
- The BeyondPod podcast app works well and has not caused any of the issues that I has with the One X+ (something I suspected and caused me to try using DoggCatcher for a while as an inferior substitute).
In combination these make me enjoy using this phone enough to inspire me to make this (relatively rare) post on the subject!
Watching a good part of the Google IO keynote yesterday, I was struck by how nice it would be to be part of the Google ecosystem. It could bring a new level of convenience to my life and various Google apps could suggest new things I might really be interested in doing.
I would happily sacrifice some significant level of privacy for these things. (In fact, yesterday I set up my Exchange Online account so that it automatically forwards a copy of all my emails to my most unused Gmail account so that Google apps can know more about me and thereby be more helpful.) Partly this is because I think the loss of privacy is a foregone conclusion.
But, also I was captivated by the potential of Google to do useful things with my personal information and their ability to mine my information and that of countless others for data that would ultimately be useful to me. That is Google's killer app—its ability to know more than anyone else in the cloud and thereby be more useful to me—and to advertisers or anyone else who wants access to that kind of knowledge.
The key to this is Google's access to information—via emails, location data, photographs, videos, searches and the like. So the more people that use Google services the more knowledge they gain and the greater their competitive advantage over other companies that might hope to do the same.
Their non-cloud products of Android, Glass or the Nexus hardware should exist to make more people use Google services and feed its appetite for data.The should NOT sacrifice this to attempt to win some competition with non-cloud competitors. Why should Google care if Android kills off Windows Phone, or if Gmail is accessed from Outlook.com? If those things happen they have already won.
This is why Google is correct to stress the importance of interoperability—they get access to more people's data, and wrong for them to sacrifice that to promote non-cloud products, e.g. not letting Windows Phone users access Youtube with a native app. Some teams there must not understand what is really important.
Our kids think it is really cool, especially the new Lenovo convertible tablets we got—the Yoga and Thinkpad Twist.
My wife does not like it at all– usually because she finds herself running a new Metro app when she would have preferred to run a traditional desktop app. This happens with the most annoyance PDF readers, mail and Internet Explorer. I have removed these from the start screen and changed the default applications, but this is a shame: Windows 8 should let you use different default apps depending on whether they are being invoked from a Metro app or a desktop app.
Is there any rhyme or reason to what portions of the OS have been metrofied and what portions have not? Switching between these apps isn't problematic but it is aesthetically annoying.
Windows Key-D is my new favorite command. In now use the Windows key more than I ever did in two decades of using older iterations of Windows. Here is a handy list of keyboard shortcuts.
Metro needs a way to elegantly address apps that will never be touch-centric, e.g. Word, Photoshop etc. Maybe that means creating a metro-style aesthetic for desktop apps,
This move had been a long time coming..
All of our PCs were now running Windows 8 and were not joined to or SBS domain. It was time to decommission our SBS 2008 server and remove it from our home network.
This was the easiest part of the process. I purchased a Dell tower PC at Costco, upgraded it to Windows 8 and di the following:
- Named it with the same name as our old SBS server (Leora after the character in Arrowsmith)
- Moved the external drives containing shared files and backups from our SBS machine to the new Windows 8 box.
- Shared the files from the user "Server" using Homegroup (and seprarately as well, but this may not have been necessary)
- Installed Media Center 18 on the new box
- Installed Homeseer on the new box and copied over the directories from the SBS installation of Homeseer using a flash drive
- Set up file history to back up files to external backup drive
- Disconnected the SBS box
- Connected the new server to our network
- Set our router to turn on DHCP (formerly handled by SBS) and assign a specific IP to the new server

It may be a new year, but some things don't change as much as we might like to think. I'd still like a check dress like Molly's; and I'll still be writing post cards. Do add it to the list of resolutions.

Family time develops children's language skills
A new survey suggests that more than 60% of parents believe that talking at home is the most important factor for developing young children's communication skills.
The poll of 2,000 parents of children under six, carried out for National Family Week by children's communication charity I CAN, also found that three-quarters of parents talk to their children to boost their confidence.
More than four in ten of the parents surveyed knew the value of talking to help their child's communication development, the charity said. But more than half of parents questioned said they were concerned that the need to work longer hours in the current economic climate would leave them with less time to spend with their children.
The survey also reveals the important role that grandparents play in developing children's speech and communication skills.
More than half of the 1,000 grandparents who were polled spend at least one day a week or more with their grandchildren, and more than a third said they spend this time talking with them.
According to the charity, one in ten children have long-term speech, language and communication needs. In some areas of the UK, more than half of all five-year-olds start school without the communication skills they need to learn and make friends.
Virginia Beardshaw, I CAN chief executive, said: "Spending time together and making time to talk as a family, is very important for building children's confidence and communication skills.
"It is encouraging to see that families are making time to develop their children's speaking and listening skills. Helping your child or grandchild to become a confident communicator will improve their ability to learn at school and to make friends. National Family Week is an ideal opportunity for families to get together and to join in enjoyable activities, while developing these all important communication skills in children."

Casino de la Selva, Cuernavaca
Casino de la Selva, Cuernavaca
Under The Volcano :
"Palatial, a certain air of desolate splendour pervades it. For it is no longer a Casino. You may not even dice for drinks in the bar. The ghosts of ruined gamblers haunt it. No one ever seems to swim in the magnifcent Olympic pool. The springboards stand empty and mournful. It's jai-alai courts are grass-grown and deserted. Two tennis courts only are kept up in the season....."
The hotel was demolished in 2001-2. A Costco warehouse was built on the site.
Carlos Salinas de Gortari was President of Mexico from 1988 to 1994
The hotel's literary reputation was established one day in 1939 when a hungover British writer named Malcolm Lowry sat down in the patio bar and ordered a drink. Mad on mezcal, Lowry wrote Under the Volcano, perhaps the most monumental Mexican nightmare ever crafted by a foreigner, while in residence at the hotel—the book begins on the Day of the Dead 1939 at the Casino de la Selva, where it ends tragically the next morning. Lowry's aura was so tied to the hotel, that when in 1984 John Huston finally realized his life-long dream of filming this dense, luminescent novel, he moved into the Casino and shot many scenes there.

University of West Georgia Art Professor Erin Dixon and UWG alumna Justine Aldridge are two of 49 artists who were selected to participate in a project honoring the Orlando Pulse night club shooting victims who lost their lives on June 12.
The project, dubbed 49 Portraits, was created by Mia Merlin, an art professor at Armstrong State University, who was inspired by a similar project that was done for the victims of the June 17, 2015 Charleston Emanuel AME Church shooting.
"After the Pulse attacks, as well as other violence occurring in this country and around the world, I felt so helpless and overwhelmed–like so many of us–and was searching for a way to do something," Merlin explained. "I knew finding 49 artists to do portraits might be difficult, but I thought that if I could pull it off, it would be incredibly powerful and meaningful."
Merlin found artists from all over the country, and two of them are right here at the University of West Georgia. Dixon painted a portrait of Joel Rayon Paniagua. When reflecting on the piece, she says she hopes that this act of kindness will bring comfort to the victim's loved ones.
"I hope that by making this gesture I am sending love out into the world, which desperately needs it, and of course to the family of Joel Rayon Paniagua, who experienced this horrific trauma and loss," Dixon said. "I hope I was able to capture some essence of his personality and that this portrait capturing him at a particular moment in his life will give them something to remember him by."
Aldridge, who painted a portrait of Jean C. Nives Rodriguez, heard about the 49 Portraits project through Erin. Aldridge believes that being a part of this project was a way she could honor the individuals who lost their lives.
"As a member of the LGBTQ community, my friends and I were very emotional about what happened, because this could have happened to any one of us," Aldridge said. "When I first learned about the project, I knew that this was something I had to do without a doubt.
"I hope that this project helps the victim's families as a coping mechanism," Aldridge continued. "I would love for them to all know that even though their loved ones are no longer with them, they were important, wonderful people who deserve to be remembered."
Merlin plans to have an exhibit of the portraits in Orlando at the Terrace Gallery during the winter and spring months of 2017. She then plans to present the families with the paintings close to the anniversary of the attack. Merlin will also be creating a permanent website gallery for the portraits.
"I hope they feel all the love that went into this project and that they are deeply moved by these efforts," Merlin said about the families. "I hope that for the rest of their lives they feel the presence of their loved ones in the portraits."
However, Merlin said that these portraits can be used to help any person affected by the tragedy heal, not just the victims' families.
"I think the impact of this project is not just for the family and friends of those lost, but for anyone and everyone who needs it," she said.

Starting in 2019, Buicks won't say 'Buick' on their sheet metal.
What's in a name? Not much for Buick. The mid-level premium brand at General Motors is ditching its brand nameplates starting with the 2019 model year, and the first model to go without it will be the refreshed Envision crossover. According to report from GM Authority, Buick has dispatched the brand nameplates, though the Buick tri-shield logo and model nameplates will continue to be affixed to the rear of Buick's cars and crossovers. Other models will follow the Enivision's lead for 2019.
This isn't a matter of Buick being ashamed of its own name, CarBuzz has learned. Instead, Buick is aligning its global portfolio. "It was a decision we made for global brand consistency (Buicks in China don't say Buick on the badge) and because research tells us the tri-shield has a strong enough recognition rate to stand on its own," Buick representative Stu Fowle Buick representative told CarBuzz. "It'll be effective across all products for the 2019 model year, starting with the Envision." Buick has also been an outlier when it comes to brand nameplates.
"We surveyed the landscape and very few brands put the full name on the back," Fowle explained. Even within General Motors, Buick was the only brand to put a marque nameplate on the rear of its passenger cars, though GMC is an exception as its brand nameplate and brand logo are one in the same. Cadillac relies on its crest, now without the surrounding wreath, and Chevrolet uses the bowtie. The Corvette doesn't wear any bowtie logos on its exterior as it has its own pseudo sub-brand and associated logo. Speaking of sub-brands, Buick's Avenir logos will remain prominent on those models.
However, the removal of the "Buick" nameplate "does open up the future ability to put Avenir badges on the back of those models," Fowle said, but there are no current plans to do so. Buick's first 2019 model, the Envision, is built in China and will begin arriving at dealers this spring with a base price of $32,990. Buick did not yet announce its destination fee.

Guwahati: As more and more Indians watch in hapless horror a video recording of a young woman being brutally pummelled and stripped by a large mob in Guwahati, many have asked - what did those who recorded the incident do to help the victim? Could they not have rescued her instead of rolling their camera to catch her humiliation?
Dipya Bordoloi, a reporter from Newslive - the local channel that recorded and first aired the video - says he arrived a little after the mob began molesting the girl. "It wasn't molestation, it was like gang-rape."he says.
He claims he tried to intervene. "Don't touch, don't touch her, I said, but the mob was growing. There were about 50 very angry people there." Since the mob was so violent, he says, he stepped back and asked the cameraman to roll camera. Apart from the men who pushed, dragged, beat and stripped the girl out on a busy main road with vehicles whizzing past, business as usual, Mr Bordoloi says there were many people who just stood and watched. "She was crying for help, but no one came forward," he said.
The reporter says he then asked the cameraman to catch the faces of the culprits. The mob, made up of drunk men, he said, tried to force the girl to show show her face to the camera. That evening, the channel aired only a part of the recording - where the girl was rescued after her 40-minute ordeal by police who arrived late though the nearest police station is only a kilometre away.
The next day the entire video was telecast and was also uploaded on YouTube. There, it went viral.
The faces of many of the assailants are clearly seen on camera. On the video, as the mob of chases, beats and strips the girl, it is clear no one nearby attempted to help her. She is thrown repeatedly to the ground as she resists. Her clothes are ripped off. Close-ups of the attackers' faces show no remorse, many wear a look of satisfaction. Some even smile as they look directly into the camera, almost performing for it. At one point, some of the attackers attempt to force the girl to look at the camera, chanting "show the face" in Assamese.
There is much outrage also because at one point the young girl identifies herself on camera and that portion was not edited out. There are places where her face can be seen but these were not digitally blurred before the video was uploaded on the Internet, compounding say many, the girl's humiliation.
The Managing Editor of Newslive, Syed Zarir Hussain, has strongly defended the decision to record and air the incident. "If we had shut our cameras, those arrested would have gone scot free," he told NDTV. His crew, he says, just as his reporter does, was outnumbered when it tried to help.

Yours truly, Patrick and I, have gotten married. In adventure-us style we weren't about to go lie about on a beach for a week for our honeymoon. No, we have been itching to go to Big Bend since we first start dating, hiking, and camping together. A week without kids, and Patrick off from work. seemed our perfect opportunity. An added bonus was going in April we hoped the park would not be experiencing it's brutal summer temperatures.
We had a small hitch in our plans when I injured my knee while we were moving in together. A trip to the doctor and an x-ray later and I was told I had fractured my kneecap and bruised the other bones of my knee. When going up stairs you could hear grinding with every step. It was clear that depending on my knee to carry me out into the wilds and back again, would not be smart. Not to be deterred, we found a great deal on Equinox Kayaks at Costco, bought one for each of us, and decided we would kayak through Big Bend on the Rio Grande.
Another hitch in our plans happened when I came down with a cold the week of our wedding. It got so bad that I woke up the day of the wedding with no voice at all. Thankfully by our evening wedding I was able to squeak out my vows. Knowing that we would soon be far from medical attention I started a course of antibiotics and hoped the infection wasn't viral. So with a cracked kneecap and no voice, we strapped the kayaks to the roof of the minivan and settled in for the roughly eight hour drive from Dallas to Big Bend.
Big Bend National Park
The first thing you will notice about Big Bend National Park if you've never been there is it is B.I.G. To drive from one end of the park to the other will take you over an hour on the 45mph curving roads. The second thing you will notice is that it is desert. Not just dry like the ground of Texas Hill Country but full-on cactus loving desert. The third are the gorgeous worn away mountains and canyons that ripple through the park.
The geology of those mountains and canyons is one of the most diverse around. The land of big bend has been under a constant onslaught of changes for the last 400 million years. This means it is incredibly diverse. From ocean troughs, to warm seas, to earthquakes, volcanoes, and common erosion, all these things had a part in forming the land that is Big Bend today. It is worth reading the park services page on the geology of the area before visiting so that you can recognize all the different rocks, soils, and mountains and understand how they came to lay in the positions they are today.
When looking out at the desert you would be excused for thinking that no one could possibly survive in such a harsh climate. You would be wrong though. Humans have continuously occupied the area for about 10,000 years! When humans first moved to the area it was much cooler and was forested with heavy trees. However, even in it's current state, the land offers plenty of sustenance to those who know what to look for. So many of the plants are not only edible, but are useful for things like baskets, mats, shelter, dyes, tool production, medicines, and even candles. From the yucca plant with it's edible fruit, seeds, and leaves, with roots useful for both soap and medicine, to the prickly pear with it's sweet fruit and pads that will soothe a wound, spines removed first of course, this desolate looking landscape is actually a land of plenty.
Today there are not many grasslands left in the park but that is a man-caused desolation not environment-caused. Big Bend once supported large ranches. Unfortunately, grazing on those ranches caused massive erosion, and today, what used to be a vast arid grassland, has only smaller patches of grass left. Restorations projects in the past have tried and failed to bring back the grasses but a new ongoing project is proving promising. Planted grasses have been successfully returning year after year, and even spreading in some areas, after much trial and error. Some day visitors to Big Bend may, instead of bare ground, see grass filling the space between cacti and other desert plants.
Our Kayaking Adventure
Ready to Launch- Day 1
After a night at a hotel in Alpine, and a two hour drive in, we arrived at the Castalon Ranger Station at about 10:30am ready to purchase our back country permit and get on the river. Unfortunately for us, the Castalon station's internet was down and they were unable to issue us a permit. They directed us to drive to the closest other ranger station, Panther Juction, and being the huge park that Big Bend is, that entailed an hour and a half round trip drive. So after much running around we arrived at the Santa Elena Take-out with our back country permits.
Pulling into the parking lot we saw a sign that said the area was day use only. After seeing other signs in the park later on in our trip that specifically prohibited overnight parking, we later realized this sign only meant that the picnic area was not a campsite. We were concerned when we parked there that they may have meant no overnight parking, but with no other place to conveniently put in, and it getting so late in the day that if we delayed any longer we'd have to wait until the next day, we decided to risk it.
While Patrick unloaded the kayaks from the van I got our lunch, chicken fajitas, simmering on our canister stove. By the time the kayaks were unloaded and packed for the river lunch was ready. We ate our meal under one of the area's shaded picnic pavilions, a welcome relief from the noon day sun of the unseasonably hot April day. Around 1pm, after a quick cleanup, we were finally ready to launch.
River Conditions:
Thanks to a rainstorm the day before we arrived, the river levels were higher than normal for us. When we put in at Castalon the gauges that day were reading about 150cfs and around 3 feet. Normally, unlike much of the rest of the country, April is a dry time of year in Big Bend. The highest river water levels are typically in late summer to early fall, during and immediately after monsoon season. Prior to the rainstorm the flow was a sluggish 32 cfs and by the time we exited the river two days later the flow had already dropped back down to 51 cfs.
While the increased river flow would have made paddling downstream much more fun, it made an upstream trip, our planned route, that much harder. Since we only had one vehicle and weren't using a shuttle our plan was to paddle up the Santa Elena Canyon and back down a couple days later. With the river at 150 cfs the trip was just possible. At flows faster than 200 cfs I think paddling upstream would be very hard if not impossible. While the rapids we encountered were tiny, we quickly realized there was no way we would be able to paddle upstream through them. So within a short time of setting off, we found ourselves getting out of our boats multiple times to walk them upstream through rapids.
Before reaching the canyon the sun is pretty brutal so all this walking in the river actually helped keep us cool. Nevertheless, when we spotted the shaded opening to the canyon we eagerly paddled forward.
Entering the Canyon
It took us about an hour to paddle/drag our boats up to the canyon itself. The opening is stark and impressive. The walls crowd in and soar overhead and the coolness and darkness of the shadows are almost a shock to the system after the glaring hot sun of the open river downstream. At the very mouth of the canyon (or tail as this was technically the downstream end), there is a hiking trail that gives the landlocked crowd a taste of the canyon. As we paddled past them their voices echoed over the water. Once we passed the first bend though, all sounds of people faded away and we were met with the quiet of the canyon.
The Canyon
Despite sounds echoing in the canyon it is remarkably quiet there. Except for sections were there are rapids the river flows silently. When on a twist of the river that the wind doesn't reach, the only sounds are the splash of your paddles, the squeaks of bats sleeping in the canyon walls, and the mocking calls of the canyon dwelling birds. With every stroke of the paddle we drifted further in and felt the stress of the month leading up to our wedding, drift further away.
We saw very few people as we paddled upstream. One canoe overtook us as we took a small break and we passed another family camping on the banks of the river. That was all on the first day and after that we never saw another person.
When we entered the canyon it was after 2pm so after a another couple hours paddling we started looking for a campsite. Unfortunately, on the downstream end of the canyon all the possible sites were on the Mexican side where we were not allowed to camp. After 6pm, we finally came to several great camping areas with nice rocky shores, and higher level grassy areas. With relief we pulled in and set up camp at a spot with our own personal fertility god.
As we ate our dinner of Coconut Chicken Curry that night, the bats were out sweeping the canyon like fighter jets gobbling up any insect foolish enough to venture out. I know a lot of people do not like bats but as a mosquito magnet, I love them. Normally I cannot sit outside at dusk without being eaten alive. One evening, in a mosquito infested area, I stepped outside for less than five minutes and was literally bitten over seventy times. The nights we spent in the canyon I did not get one mosquito bite despite having no repellent on at all.
The weather was also ideal. While it was warm during the day the shade of the high canyon walls made it comfortable and as evening fell the temperature dropped into the 70's. We laid outside our tent and watched the bats as the night fell.
When the day had completely faded the canyon revealed another of it's treats, beautiful stars. Against the charcoal night the milky way shone white and the millions of stars, invisible in the suburbs, added their light to the sky. The only other place I had witness such a beautiful celestial show was the middle of the ocean. Somehow though, the canyon's stars seemed more dramatic, framed as they were by the inky blackness of the canyon walls.
Day 2
We awoke to the now familiar sounds of the canyon birds and the flow of the river. Day starts slowly in the canyon with the sun not able to shine into it until midday. We adapted to the pace and enjoyed the peaceful surroundings while we sipped our tea and ate our Breakfast Burritos.
After breakfast we packed up and set off to explore upstream. We planned to try to reach Rock Slide rapids that day but as we started paddling I realized I had a problem. Our kayaks had been designed for a man's torso size and with my shorter frame I had been lifting my shoulders to clear the sides of the boat while paddling the whole first day. Now, as I tried to paddle my shoulders where popping with every stroke sending a shooting pain down my arms. Thankfully, by sitting on top of our extra life jacket I found a more ergonomic position. After the adjustment, my arms still felt sore but the popping abated and the exercise began loosening the stiffness of my shoulders.
We paddled upriver all morning enjoying the scenery of the canyon. We marveled at how green the plants in the canyon were compared to the surrounding dessert. There were also a surprising amount of wild edibles. The huge boulders bordering the river, some as big as house, were something we tried to avoid thinking about because we knew they had fallen from thousands of feet above us. When we stopped for lunch, we were reminded that rocks could fall at anytime as evidenced by the basketball size rock sitting on the muddy beach with it's fresh imprints of where it had struck the mud and rolled to it's current position.
Around 2 pm we were down to just two and a half gallons of water. We didn't want to go further out in case it took longer than anticipated to get back downriver. We had a Sawyer water filter with us but with the recent rains, the Rio Grande was very muddy and the filter would probably have clogged.
Back Downstream
In hindsight, we could have continued on because our downstream trip was much faster. The water had lowered quite a bit from it's post-rain high of over 3 feet at Castalon down to 2.5 feet in just a day. Even though it was low I was able to glide over almost all the rocks of the rapids. Patrick, being heavier did get stuck more often but was able to scoot off the rocks most of the time and didn't have to walk his boat anymore. Without all the in and outs we made it back to our campsite of the night before by 4pm.
Day 3
After another relaxing night in the canyon we packed up and headed downstream the next day. We left around 8:30 in the morning and arrived at the Santa Elena Takeout at about noon. By the time we loaded up and drove out to Rio Grande Village for our second kayaking trip up Boquillas Canyon it was too late in the day to launch the boats. There is no camping for a couple miles upstream of Rio Grande Village and we would not be able to paddle that far upstream before dark. We elected to camp in the Rio Grande Village campsite and put our boats in the next morning.
That night we sorely missed the cool confines of Santa Elena Canyon. The air at Rio Grande Village was stifling and there was no hint of a breeze. We spent a sweaty night sleeping and woke up eager to get on the water.
Day 4
The next morning we put our kayaks in a Rio Grande Village. A short paddle later we had entered a canyon. This canyon was not nearly as deep as Santa Elena and unfortunately did not keep the sun from hitting us. Splashing water on our long sleeve shirts and long pants helped keep us cool though.
The canyon was pretty with its mix of evergreen and deciduous trees. The green lushness of the vegetation next to the river was a pretty contrast to the red canyon walls. But by far the best sight of our trip through the canyon was the horses running wild.
As we rounded a bend we saw them grazing on the US bank. We beached our kayaks and got out to see them close up. As we were taking pictures we heard a whinny from the Mexican Bank and turned to see a stallion come thundering toward the shore of the river. There he reared and then thundered across to challenge the stallion on our side. In awe we watched them spar not 50 yards from us. Rearing up, kicking, and biting until the new stallion had exerted his dominance.
Still in disbelief of the wild sight we had just witnessed we got back in our kayaks and paddled on. Before the morning was half over we had paddled out of the canyon and reached hot springs.
Hot springs is hard to miss both because of the hot springs rapid right in front of it and the fact that it is usually crowded with people bathing in the ruins of the old bathhouse. We pulled out boats up on some rocks near the bathhouse and I climbed into the ruins for a good soak. It felt great after days in the wild.
From there we paddled up the supposed wild and scenic river. We found that instead of wild and scenic it should have been named monotonous and boring. After leaving the canyon there was nothing but the same vegetation bordering the river and gray colorless rocky ground beyond dotted with a few scraggly trees and plants. Besides the odd donkey peeking from the trees there was nothing to break the monotony of the landscape not even rapids or baffles in the river. Worse in this stretch of river there was nothing on the banks to shade us from the beating of the hot dessert sun.
We reached the gravel pit campsite around lunchtime. While we were now allowed to camp we found we had no desire to stay in this barren landscape. The campsite is aptly named as it is just a stopping off point on the gravel road with some deeper trenches of gravel. Not only was there not a spec of shade but the ground was so rocky that we couldn't even put up a tarp to shade under while we ate our lunch.
Over lunch we decided we would head back to Rio Grande Village and start our drive home a day early. This campsite was not appealing in the least and with the thick vegetation bordering the river there was no real chance of finding an undesignated one. While hot springs did bubble from the bank of the river in different places the thick vegetation on the banks and the sludgey mud meant they were impossible to enjoy. In hindsight we wished we had stayed in Santa Elena canyon, with it's peaceful and picturesque surroundings, for our whole trip.
As with our other trip downstream this one went fast as well. The rapids further downstream were easy but still fun to traverse. We past our horse friends on our way down and noted that the challenging stallion was now leading the herd. We arrived at Rio Grande Village with just a couple hours of paddling.
Overall it was an amazing trip and made for a much better honeymoon than the typical destination of a tropical resort. We loved our peaceful and relaxing days and nights in the Santa Elena canyon. Seeing the wild horses was an amazing highlight of our second leg of our journey. The hot springs were also great and so much better than a man made hot tub.
If you're planning a trip through Big Bend on the Rio Grande our advice would be to stick to the canyons!

Reg Cox, AKA The Connector
Reg Cox, AKA The Connector
Reg Cox, AKA The Connector
Posted on 05/08/2019
Reg Cox was doing what he does best at Emory Elementary in Lakewood: connecting. It even says it on his resume, "City Connector at Lakewood Connects."
"I build bridges between different parts of the community that sometimes don't work together very smoothly," Cox explained. "I have a conviction that collaboration is critical for community health."
This meeting, one of the dozens of community interactions he leads or takes part in during a typical year, was to figure out how best to keep an emergency supply of food fresh for Emory students and families in need.
"There's an amazing spirit in Jefferson County and in Lakewood, where folks are wanting to help," said Cox. "They realize there are families, there are children with food needs, and it's not as easy as you'd think to partner those helpers with the different organizations and then with the schools."
That's what Cox has done, and continues to do.
"I think a quality that Reg possesses is a unique ability to interact with so many different non-profits, governmental agencies, school districts," said Lakewood Mayor Adam Paul. "It can even be challenging for governmental agencies to be able and connect and work together. Reg has this unique ability to get in there and bring those different groups together."
"People gravitate to his soul. He has a warmth," added Denise Delgado, Executive Director of the Jeffco Schools Foundation. People feel very comfortable around him, and they can get vulnerable around him.
Cox has partnered with Jeffco Public Schools on an impressive number of projects, including one designed to get more people involved in Jeffco's Strategic Planning Advisory Committee, which helps guide decisions on student and family supports and services. He was at the forefront of a community effort to revitalize the outdoor play space at Foothills Elementary, turning it into a Field of Dreams. He was also one of the guiding voices in the re-birth of Rose Stein International Elementary.
"He was very much invested in the design, making sure that kids and community had everything we needed from startup," said Rose Stein International Elementary Principal Esther Valdez. "His connections go deep and further. He's all about making those first introductions and then blending into the background and letting the people do the work."
"We need more books on the bookshelves, we need more equipment in the gym, we need X, we need Y, we need Z. And then [Reg] goes into the Rolodex in his head, and says, 'Who do I know?' "explained Delgado. "He just does that, and if he doesn't know the person, he'll go out and find them for you."
That's part of what makes Cox so unique.
"Reg Cox is an incredible asset to Jeffco and the whole state," said Dr. Jason Glass, Superintendent of Jeffco Public Schools. "He's a person that brings people with different viewpoints together, and all focused on how can we be a better community for our kids and our families."
"Sometimes I worry that he's going to quit taking my phone calls because whenever I call he knows I might be asking for something and he has never, ever said, 'no,' "added Paul.
To understand what drives this community connector, you have to understand what else is on Cox's resume. He's a pastor and the Director of the Lakewood Faith Coalition.
"As a Christian, the commandment of Jesus is to love your neighbor as yourself. In my world, in my mind, this is what faith should look like," explained Cox. "Whether it's coming from any faith you want to discuss, compassion for human need is at the root of what moves true faith."
"Reg feels deep to his bones that his work is the right thing to do. There are no questions," said Delgado. "There is no doubt, and his faith guides him in what he does. The path that he is on is the right path. That's very much Reg."
Cox says it's the faith community's responsibility to be the impetus, the nucleus of that atom to build that connection system in a healthy community, whether it's a city, a neighborhood or the entire county.
"Reg, you have made an impact on me personally, on the lives of so many hundreds of children and families," said Valdez. "We will be forever in your debt because you have chosen to love and you have chosen to model that love unconditionally."
"Reg, I just want you to know that you and your family are a tremendous blessing to the Lakewood community, to Jefferson County, and to Colorado as a whole," said Paul. "You lead with great kindness, wisdom, dignity."

Alexandria Clifton Elmer Howard died on Aug. 1, 2012 while being treated for congestive heart failure at Fauquier Health Rehabilitation & Nursing Center located at Warrenton, Va. He was 92 years old.
Lifelong Alexandria resident, Cliff was born on April 22, 1920 at the family residence located at 113 S. Patrick St. He graduated from George Washington High School in 1939 and entered the U.S. Army as a rifleman in 1944. He returned to Alexandria after being honorably discharged from the army as a disabled veteran in 1945. Cliff remained at 113 S. Patrick St. until he married Margaret Miller in 1962 and the newlyweds moved to 2604 Davis Ave. in the Braddock Heights neighborhood of his beloved City of Alexandria.
Cliff worked as a clerk for the Federal Government and retired after over 40 years of service.
The loving couple remained together on Davis Avenue until the late '90s, when Margaret, who was suffering from Alzheimer's disease, required around the clock care that Cliff was unable to provide. With heavy heart, Cliff moved Margaret into Woodbine Nursing Home, but did not abandon her there; he spent the majority of every day with her until her death on June 30, 1999.
Cliff remained in Alexandria for several more years, until he moved to Amissville to live with his step daughter Carol Metz.
Cliff was reluctant to leave Alexandria. His family had first arrived there in 1737. Howard Street was named after his family and Minnie Howard Elementary (now the 9th grade annex for T.C. Williams High School, but still bearing her name) was named after his grandmother, a tireless social worker and children's advocate at the turn of the last century. Like his father before him, Cliff had been a member of the Alexandria Harmonizers Barber Shop Chorus. He was a member of the Odd fellows Potomac Lodge 38 and an active member of Westminster Presbyterian Church on Cameron Mills Road.
Cliff moved into Fauquier Health Rehabilitation and Nursing Center in 2011 and his wit and upbeat attitude made him an instant hit with the staff. At the end of July 2012, he checked into the adjacent hospital to be treated for congestive heart failure. He returned to the Nursing Center July 31 and died on Aug. 1.
Clifton was predeceased by his parents William and Katherine Howard, his brother Nelson Howard, sister in law Oceola Howard and his wife Margaret Howard.
Clifton is survived by his nephew Phillip Howard of Kissimmee, Fla., his step daughters Carol Metz of Amissville, Va. and Linda Hutchison of Colorado Springs, Colo. He is also survived by grandchildren John Metz of Marshal, Virginia, Julie Roberts of Amissville, Paul "Tony" Allen of Vail, Colo., David "Chris" Allen of Alexandria and seven great grandchildren.

Oil mill
At the end of the great frost in 1985, only 79 of our 2.782 olive trees were still alive. Strangely enough, this natural disaster made us even more determined to relaunch the cultivation of olives in an area where the land is renowned for producing the finest olive oil. Twenty-seven acres were immediately prepared for the intensive cultivation of olives. Great care went into choosing varieties and clones which could be cultivated with up-to-date methods while still respecting tradition. At the same time, plans were made to build a new cold olive-press with traditional millstones and extraction by pressure less dripping. This system is called "Sinolea". Everything that the Eighties had to offer in new technology and hygienic standards was also introduced.
The process of extracting oil from olives is generally divided into three distinct operations: crushing, extracting and separating. It is the method used for extracting the oil which defines the various system..
In order to achieve the best possible results, we installed a traditional olive crusher with three granite mullers. Although this method takes much longer than more modern systems, it is the only way to produce premium quality pulp.
The liquids (oil and natural water) can be separated from the pulp by using pressure, centrifuges or the Sinolea system, the one we use.
Sinolea System:
This method is based on a very simple law of physics: liquids with different molecular cohesion have different surface tensions. Therefore, when a blade is plunged into a mixture of oil and water, only the oil sticks to the blade, thus separating the oil from the pulp without using pressure. The machine which does this is called a Sinolea. It has 7000 stainless steel blades which penetrate the mashed olives slowly and continuously. Every time the blades emerge they bring with them a small quantity of very pure oil containing practically no water. It is easily understandable that by not applying any pressure, the best results are achieved and the oil flows fresh and fragrant. Under normal conditions the Sinolea extracts between 60 and 80{8e458f9125c97ac90b3de674d136217c95bb56ba2f0230e49ddfdf15428ed8ad} of the oil. The method used by other mills is employed by us only to extract the last 20 to 40{8e458f9125c97ac90b3de674d136217c95bb56ba2f0230e49ddfdf15428ed8ad}. So our second grade oil is of the same standard as the first grade oil from other mills. Obviously this process takes at least three times longer than the others and is consequently more costly, but we feel that it is time and money well spent.

A Healing Crisis may occur after sound and vibrational healing classes and sessions as time of adjustment to the new energies. It is a good sign that indicates healing is taking place. Once the toxins are gone, the body will adjust the new level of health. Things will feel different and possibly uncomfortable as your mind, body, emotions, and spirit adjusts to integrating your Higher Self The ego is learning to work with the higher self and Universal energies. It is good to keep a journal handy to record your awareness and synchronicities after meditation, self-healing, and dreamtime.
Eating light for a few days can be helpful. Perhaps do a 3-5 day juice cleanse. A Master cleanse with 32 oz. spring water, fresh juice of 2 whole lemons, and 2 Tbls. maple syrup cleanses the liver, which will reset digestion and ease emotions like anger and frustration. If you have not done a juice cleanse before I suggest starting with 16 oz. of Master Cleanse first thing in the morning about 1 hour before anything else. Then eating fresh fruits and vegetables (no: dairy, meat, carbs, sugar, alcohol) for 3 days before going into a longer liquid fast. Include natural probiotic foods. As much organic foods as possible. In Moscow Idaho check out Palouse Juice.
Golden milk is a nice warm drink made with 1 cup warmed milk of your choice, 1 tsp. turmeric powder, and a tsp. of honey if needed. Add a pinch of black pepper for extra absorption of this anti-inflammatory herb.
Idaho Herbs Calendula Dandelion tea and Red Clover Detox tea are available from Spirit Herbs Shop or at the Moscow Food Coop in bulk jars.
Herbs like Nettles, Oat straw, Lemon balm, Lavender, and Linden are soothing for the nervous system. Check out Lavender Serenity, Relaxing Rose or other restorative blends that I make at Spirit Herbs shop
Sublingual B 12. I like the liquid kind to boost energy, support digestion, and ease nerves.
Zyflamend anti-inflammatory tablets 2 -2x a day to start. This reduces fibromyalgia type symptoms.
Magnesium powder or tablets. 2 x a day,
Take as much time for self-care as your schedule allows. Sleep is often the most important remedy for healing crisis symptoms. Journal about your feelings and what came up during session and classes. Read inspirational materials, listen to calming music, walking outside. Take soothing baths with epsom salts, baking soda, and seasalt. (1/2 c. each). Add your favorite essential oils, perhaps lavender or chamomile to the bath.
Simplify your environment
Make room for the new you by cleansing objects (everything from the windows in your home to your clothes or crystals) and reducing clutter. This supports your healing process by shifting your living, work, and sacred space. Tidy up your bedroom to enhance deep sleep that is necessary for lasting rejuvenation.
Near Infared Heat Lamp treatments, sauna, coffee enemas, and PEMF treatments are other cleansing and restorative processes.
Reiki Self care treatments are a helpful addition to boost overall health. Kundalini Yoga classes support cleansing breathing skills, stress management, and Vitality.
Be in nature or listen to the sounds of nature, especially running water.
Please call 208-883-9933 or email email@example.com more information, customized herbs and treatments.

A bit of a slow week is happening right now on the Xbox Live Marketplace. Aside from a new piece of Borderlands 2 DLC, there isn't a whole lot to interest you.
Any know the price of :
"Deal of the Week: Sleeping Dogs
Sleeping Dogs (Games on Demand)"
Call me crazy, but I might just have to get Kinect: Hole in the Wall - for 200MSP.
Fruit Ninja is still by far the best use I get out of my rarely used Kinect. And it's the first game that changed my opinion about 'party games' and having them running while company is over.

"they didn't even need any money..they have MAGIC
di situ la mulanya. ahaha..gila kau MAGIC CARD tu. bahaya juga actually ada magic card a.k.a KAD PUAKA ni. but there was where her believes in MAGIC started.magic sangat-lah.when she grew up, she becomes one - the shopaholic.
her description of her feeling towards stores/shopping was funny. but it is so true!
"u know that thing when u see someone cute and he smiles and your heart kind
of goes like warm butters sliding down the hot toast, that's what its like when
i see stores"
she was damn a shopaholic, and she is truly shop till she drop. the over limit credit cardS. the outstanding balance. but still cant resist the SALE word and the talking mannequin. you know the feeling when your heart beats million per sec when you see the stores. oh, i soo can understand her. its happening to us, all of the time, don't deny it.
the feelings when I want to shop, but with a tight budget I will think twice, but still, after thinking twice, I will still buy the cannot-resist item. and it can be anything from the most important thing (needs), to the most unimportant stuff, even a scarf. when i look into a stores (either online or real stores), i felt like i want something in every stores, when i saw a SALE word, i felt so rugi if i didn't purchase anything..memang rugi woo.
this movie was like talking to me. ok aza, aku mau pinjam buku tu skrg.
the story was really feels close to me.aha.close sangat la.but this was like a fairytale. she is a likeable person, funny, and a wealthy entrepreneur falls for her, and she always fool herself, like the dance scene - where she dance with Luke with the Kipas Tangan and with her funny movement and expression, at the ball - where her dress was almost the same as the waitress,and they thought she is one, with the Finland guy .ahaha.. this was the best comedy romantic movie in 2009 so far. i love it.
"they said i was a valued customer, now they sent me a sad mail"
– this quote was one of my favorite quote. what an adorable-funny person she was.
and when the good looking boss Luke Brandon ask her to write something about APR from an angle
"did u just type ..APR from an angle to google"
she was like sangat takutt and so cute n jujur "yes..i googled"
waaa…hakhakhak. two thumbs up. LUCU bah si rebecca bloomwodd ni. nama finland konon BLOOMWOOD.
"it is mr derek smeath. do not answer. it is mr derek smeath. do not– ringtone palui dia.
aku suka betul movie Confession Of A Shopaholic ni. bagus kamu tengok wahai perempuan di luar sana. it speaks us, the perempuan yang suka shopping. kan ona?
ehem.rilek saja aku mengapdet blog di office. biar lah. bos pun rilek juga sudah 30hb belum bagi gaji, so aku pun rilek la juga memblog di office and waktu kerja(bukan lunch hour). pesanan utk bos- cepat la kasi gaji saya, banyak sudah saya order baju di e-boutique, saya mau bayar sudah order-order ni bos.
p/s- aku suka semua handbeg yang boleh dilihat di movie tersebut. semuanya.
-tadi Erra Fazira sudah selamat deliver a baby girl Engku Aleesya Engku Emran.
