If you have a family road trip planned over the holidays, whether you're heading to a much loved camping spot, visiting a relative, or exploring a new part of the UK, one thing can be guaranteed – you're going to need some in-car entertainment to keep everyone happy!
So what do us Brits typically get up to while on the road? Well, BP Ultimate recently did some research to find out, quizzing over 2,000 UK motorists on what keeps things moving in the car.
Why BP? Well BP Ultimate with ACTIVE technology is a fantastic fuel designed to help clean and maintain your engine. It removes dirt to help keep your engine running smoothly, efficiently, and performing at its best. Perfect, then, for road trips.
So after collating everyone's answers, BP found that us Brits have a lot in common when it comes to our favourite road trip activities – and some of the results might surprise you…
So are we a nation of people glued to phone and table screens while on the move? Happily, no!
While modern technology certainly has a place inside the car – it's great to see that it didn't rank as the go-to solution to in car boredom… or even the second choice… or third! Three other activities beat whipping out an electronic device – can you guess what they might have been?
At number one it's…
Our family definitely rank among over two thirds of UK drivers who feel listening to music is an integral park of a long car journey.
The winners of song most sung along to was Pharrell William's smash hit Happy, which I know my own family find almost impossible not to belt out while of course accompanying it a wide array of our best dance moves.
Also making the list is Livin' on a Prayer, which is easily one of the best songs in existence for taking a collective family breath before belting out the titular lyric, while us Brits like to sit back and relax to the likes of Ed Sheeran, Adele and Coldplay.
BP Ultimate also found out there are some bands and artists that people only sing along to on their own to save embarrassment: anything by Steps, The Carpenters and Celine Dion, apparently!
I'm not sure I agree with the last bit – as a parent I feel it's my duty to sing along to any song no matter who's in the car, or how embarrassed they may be either by or for me. In fact that's all part of the fun *evil face*
Here's the top 10 songs the UK loves to sing along to. How many are already on your road trip play list?
Ranking just below music is having a chat in the car. This is actually something I love about car journey – it gives you and your family uninterrupted family time, so it's a brilliant opportunity to have a good natter about anything and everything under the sun.
We love taking it in turns to list what we're looking forward to on the way to a trip destination, and then listing what we enjoyed most on the drive home.
When you've got kids to entertain, no trip would be complete without playing some traditional games.
And I am delighted to see that high on to the list of top games us Brits love to play in the car are two of our personal favourites: name that tune and yellow car! I'm the current champion yellow car spotter, not to brag or anything.
There were also a couple of game we regularly play that didn't make the list including the 'numberplate game', where you have to make a word that features the letters in a numberplate, and in the right order, which is tons of fun.
The other game is 'horse', where you guess how many horses you'll see before the end of the journey – it can get surprisingly tense towards the end of the journey where you might be eagerly wishing for just one more horse to appear, or crossing your fingers that you've seen the last of them!
Of course, Mark and I wouldn't dream of taking a detour just to see more horses before we arrive…
Finally of course, there's something near and dear to my heart: food.
Yep, us Brits love to pack the snack on journeys of all kinds, and we all know a yummy treat can calm tensions and delight even the most bored of adults and children alike.
BP found sixty percent of parents won't leave home without a good supply of snacks, and one in five say they have even used food to diffuse arguments! Top of the snack shopping list are…
Some of the more unusual car snacks named by participants included curry, gooseberries, trifle, beef jerky and even Scandinavian favourite, rollmop herrings!
I rarely get more experimental than a tupperware tin of savoury muffins so the list has inspired me to be more adventurous with what I pack for the next family roadtrip. Watch this space!
Ready for the road?
If all this has inspired you to get creative with the entertainment on your next trip, why not check out BPs Keep Britain Moving site for more inspiring games, fun in-car activities and even a Spotify playlist created by Renault Formula 1 team mates Nico Hülkenberg and Jolyon Palmer.
Have fun on your next adventure!
This is a commissioned post for BP.

Aveda Stress-Fix Body Lotion is great for when I have some time before I go to sleep, especially if you worked out the day before. You can give yourself a mini leg massage while you get a whiff of the calming scent of this lotion. It feels great on tired muscles and gives you a few minutes to clear your head. Amanda likes to apply this all over after jumping out of the shower at night. The matching rollerball contains a more concentrated oil of this lavender, lavandin and sage scent. It's great to throw in your purse for both those crazy-stressful moments or just for those few minutes of the train or when you've got a minute to sort your thoughts. I like to apply this one to my wrists and behind my ears.
I was actually in Organic Garage when I discovered Badger's Sleep Balm (don't overlook the beauty sections of these natural grocery stores, they're cheap and usually great for your skin!). Now, this stuff won't make you doze off upon a sniff of this, as the name may suggest (although that would be really cool and somewhat dangerous now that I think of it…). But the aroma of lavender and bergamot in the form of a moisturizing balm can do wonders! I warm a bit between my fingers then apply to the tops of my shoulders, behind my ears, temples (beware, this may cause breakouts), the tip of my nose, my wrists, really anywhere where you'd like.
Origins Peace of Mind is probably the most effective de-stresser of the bunch. It has an immediate cooling sensation which effectively soothes a lot of tension around my neck and jaw (I apply a pump of this to my temples and behind my ears). The scent is actually really minty, which doesn't strike me as calming, but after trying many others, the mint may just be the key.
But do remember, nothing beats stress like good sleep, a trip to the gym and lots of water (also, green juice is an instant pick-me-up!).

Address Confidentiality
During 1999, more than 36,000 people obtained restraining orders in Massachusetts. There were 20 homicide victims as a result of domestic violence during 2000. The Address Confidentiality Program (ACP) was established by Chapter 409 of the Acts of 2000. Survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking often attempt to escape from actual or threatened violence by establishing new addresses. Too often the perpetrator of violence locates the new address. ACP provides a means by which victims may use a confidential address in order to stay safe from actual or threatened violence.
In order to be certified as a program participant, the applicant must show that disclosure of his or her address threatens the safety of the applicant or the applicant's children. ACP permits program participants to use a substitute mailing address when interacting with government agencies. The substitute address is used as the program participant's legal residence, as well as work and/or school address. Consequently, government records may be disclosed to the public without identifying the victim's new location.
ACP is an important and necessary program in the Commonwealth.
How does ACP work?
Essentially, ACP will serve as a confidential mail forwarding system for victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking who have been accepted into the program. The Secretary of the Commonwealth assigns a substitute address to the program participant to be used as the participant's legal mailing address. ACP staff retrieve the program participant's mail and forward it to the participant's actual physical location.
How do I apply to become a program participant?
In order to apply to become a program participant, an applicant must complete the ACP application with an application assistant certified by the Secretary of the Commonwealth. Program participants must have recently relocated to a new address that is unknown to the perpetrator. The application is submitted by the application assistant to the Secretary for certification. ACP will notify the applicant whether they have been certified as a program participant.
How do I locate an application assistant to initiate the application process?
You may call ACP at 1-866-SAFE-ADD in order to locate an application assistant. You may also contact an agency or nonprofit program that provides counseling, referral, shelter or other specialized services to victims of domestic abuse, rape, sexual assault, or stalking.
How do I become an application assistant?
Application assistants must be an employee of a state or local agency, or of a nonprofit program that provides counseling, referral, shelter or other specialized service to victims of domestic abuse, rape, sexual assault, or stalking. In order to become an application assistant, an individual must attend the ACP training program and be certified by and registered with the Secretary.

Re-branding, Research, Strategic Planning, Advertising, Graphic Design and Digital
Since 1980, PT Kharisma Pemasaran Bersama Nusantara (KPBN) has been the selling agent of all PTPN's (State Owned Enterprise) agricultural commodities while applying their PRIME values to promote sustainable farming and achieve better trading conditions in Indonesia. However, their current visual identity and tagline do not represent their evolution. What was once compelling, started to lose its power over time.
Milestone was named the most suitable brand agency to tackle the task of planting KPBN in the brains of customers as a brand with modern designs and forward-thinking practices.
We began by conducting interviews to glean insights into the current perspective of KPBN's visual identity among the market, and doing researches to further comprehend the history, strength, business core values, and the people we need to reflect and emphasize in the new brand positioning, logo, and tagline. The rejuvenated visual identity is expected to foster a sense of trust, confidence, and pride for both the company and the customers.
The last step was composing a comprehensive brand book containing a meticulous set of the new brand elements along with the marketing collaterals. The brand book will function as a strategic guideline for KPBN to effectively and consistently communicate its new positioning as the pioneer of commodity exchange marketplace with Fair Trade principles in Indonesia.

Raised former tideland
On glacially rebounding sites throughout northern Southeast, lush herbaceous meadows of variable width on recently elevated tideland begin just above extreme high water. The meadow surfaces are generally well-drained and eventually succeed to forest. But as long as uplift continues at a more rapid pace than world sea-level rise, new uplift meadow will be created from tidal marsh as fast as it is lost to advancing forest.

Two years ago, Michelle received treatment at a hospital and racked up a $7,000 bill. Now the hospital is threatening that it wants to get paid — immediately — or it's going to damage Michelle's credit.
"They told me today that I had to pay them $200.00 a month to keep out of collections," a Credit.com reader using the screen name "Michelle" said in response to a story, and the hospital wants its first payment "by the end of the week."
Michelle is disabled, and lives on a limited income, so she can't afford to spend $200 a month on a medical bill. Also, "This is the first statement I received from this hospital," she says.
It appears that whomever Michelle is talking to at the hospital is trying to rush her into paying too quickly, and possibly too much, says Gerri Detweiler, Credit.com's consumer credit expert.
"I think she's dealing with a billing clerk who doesn't have a lot of incentive to help her, and may not be aware of all the assistance that may be available," Detweiler says.
But first a note of warning to other former patients who find themselves in a similar position: Michelle may actually be lucky. Many hospitals don't send reminders or make phone calls regarding unpaid bills. They simply send the bills to a collection agency, which hurts the consumer's credit automatically.
"They don't have to warn you, even," says Barry Paperno, Credit.com's credit scoring expert. "It's good that they're calling, because that gives you a chance to work it out before they send it to collections. And the fact that they're willing to work out a payment arrangement is even better."
So, the bad news is that the payment plan offered by the hospital is not much of a deal for someone in Michelle's position. The good news is that it hasn't yet been handed over to a collections agent, which means Michelle still has time to negotiate before this unpaid bill damages her credit.
What can she do now? Here are some steps consumers can follow to slow down the bill collection process, learn their options, and possibly negotiate their way into paying less.
Get the Bill — The Whole Bill
The first thing Michelle should do, Detweiler says, is get an itemized copy of the hospital bill. After that, she should read it line by line. Are there procedures on the bill that were never performed? Was she charged for an entire box of surgical gloves? If so, she can get those overcharges removed. "The fact that she hasn't even gotten a bill concerns me," Detweiler says. "The bill is probably too high to begin with."
Get Help
If it's a nonprofit hospital, it has programs to give free or reduced-cost care to people who are low-income and disabled. Since Michelle is both, she probably qualifies. "She may not have to pay any of that bill," says Detweiler.
Go Up the Chain
At this point, it sounds as though Michelle is dealing with a low-level hospital employee whose only job is to collect unpaid bills. Michelle needs to be dealing with someone else. She should ask to talk to a hospital employee who work in the programs for low-income and disability assistance. If they fail to respond adequately, demand to speak to their managers. If she finds mistakes on her bill, she may have to speak to a manager in the billing department, too.
This is one of those cases where being a little more assertive could make a big difference. "Go to someone higher up in the hospital," Detweiler says.
Explore Your State's Options
A nonprofit hospital should be able to tell Michelle if she qualifies for similar aid programs for the low-income and disabled from her state. But if hospital employees don't, she can contact those programs directly.
Know Your Rights
Under the recently-passed Affordable Care Act (dubbed "Obamacare" by its critics), hospitals must establish written policies regarding who is eligible for free and reduced-cost care, financial assistance programs, and must make those policies available to patients and the public, according to a recent story for Credit.com by healthcare and medical billing expert Mark Rukavina, of Community Health Advisors. Hospitals must refrain from pursuing collections actions until they have screened patients to find ones who qualify for financial assistance. And for patients that receive aid, hospitals cannot charge any more for services than they charge Medicare or the lowest amounts negotiated by insurance companies.
"If you believe you are the subject of aggressive billing and collection practices after receiving treatment at a non-profit hospital, contact the billing department and ask for information on their financial assistance and billing and collection policies," says Rukavina. "It is your right."
The final rules to enforce the act have not yet been written, Rukavina says. Still, these protections are part of federal law, and Michelle can use them to slow the hospital bill collection process down, and negotiate for a low a lower bill.

Being an avid fan of conversations with interesting people, I listened to the Nerdist podcast today, for the first time. Fantastic interview with Martin Short. The guy is amazingly genuine, and has tons of interesting insights and stories he relates. The show starts off a bit chunky, as the guys are all on mike in one room and making a racket, but the actual interview is clean, and professional. I can't say enough about how much I liked it. check it out on 'the Nerdist podcast."

Three Irish boys. Three very different backgrounds. A bond that will be tested beyond all reason.
For Liam, Patrick, and Hugo, life in 1960's Ireland proves to be both idyllic and flawed. Leading vastly different lives, an unexpected friendship blooms between the teenagers when they all attend a private Catholic boarding school, a bond that seems unbreakable.
But, in a world where the Catholic Church is a pervasive presence, and life is both simple and complicated, can their friendship survive as they navigate love and loyalty, secrets and lies? Are they close enough to weather the gale, or will their separate struggles tear them apart?
In Under Heaven's Shining Stars, author Jean Grainger is reminiscent of the late Maeve Binchy as she brings to life the struggles and simplicity that often go hand-in-hand with growing up. Experience it all with Liam, Patrick, and Hugo as they face the beauty, turmoil, and endless possibilities of life under the turbulent Irish sky...

"Following in the footsteps of Maeve Binchy and Frank McCourt, Jean Grainger will go down as one of the great Irish novelists."- Roberta Kagan Bestselling, author of All My Love, Dietrich
Hello and thank you for dropping by my website.
I am a novelist living in a 200 year old stone cottage in rural County Cork, Ireland, which is not nearly as romantic as it sounds! I used to be a tour guide of my beloved homeland of Ireland, leading groups mainly from the USA, and after that, I was an English and History teacher in a boy's secondary school. I loved both careers and was fortunate enough to meet wonderful people over the years, but the lure of writing full time eventually drew me away from the day job to a life where huge chunks of every day are spent in pyjamas, making up stories.
I write contemporary as well as historical Irish fiction and my style has been compared, very flatteringly, to the late, great Maeve Binchy. When that comparison is drawn, I am both humbled and exhilarated as I was, and remain, a huge fan.
My books are very character driven, and Ireland is always a feature if not always the location. We have such a rich and complex history here on this green island. We are a nation of storytellers and some of us are lucky enough to make a living writing those stories down. I consider myself one of those fortunate people .
I live with my husband Diarmuid, a musician and a teacher, as well as being the breakfast chef, the finder of lost glasses, the taxi-driver of our children, the brewer of tea, a purveyor of epic hugs, and about a million other roles and without him there would be no stories.
The youngest two of our four children live at home and are the lights of my life. They are two little girls aged ten and seven and they fill our lives with fun and giggles and love, and glitter, and markers and teddy bears and bits of Lego. The older two have fled the nest, though they are not averse to showing up for a home cooked dinner and to raid the fridge on occasion, and we always love to see them coming.

As many of you know, I have chaired what has become known as the SVLG Data Center Efficiency Summit since the end of it's first year's program. That was fall of 2008. A wonderful summit held at Sun Microsystem's Santa Clara campus. This has been a customer-focused, volunteer-driven project with case studies presented by end-users about their efficiency achievements. The goal is for all case studies to share actual results of the savings to show what works, best ways to improve efficiency and to provide ideas and support for all kinds of efficiency improvements within our data centers. We've highlighted software, hardware and infrastructure improvements, as well as new technologies and processes, in the effort that we all gain when we share. Through collaboration we all improve. And as an industry, if we all improve, we avoid over-regulation, we all help to preserve our precious energy supplies and keep their costs from escalating as quickly. We all help to reduce emissions generated as an industry and drive innovation. In essence, we all gain when we share ideas with each other.
As such, I have thought of this program to be immensely valuable as an industry tool to efficiency and improvement for all. Consequently, I have volunteered hundreds of hours of my time and forgiven personal financial gain to chair and help advance this program along with many other volunteers who have also given much of their time to advance this successful and valuable program. I do not have the resources to continually give of my volunteer time–I wish I did–but do hope to provide more support or time with future corporate sponsorship.
I do hope that you can participate in this valuable program and the corresponding event held in the late fall every year since 2008. Below is more information from the SVLG. You can also call me for more info.
Attention data center operators, IT managers, energy managers, engineers and vendors of green data center technologies: A call for case studies and demonstration projects is now open for the fifth annual Data Center Efficiency Summit to be held in November 2012.
The Data Center Efficiency Summit is a signature event of the Silicon Valley Leadership Group in partnership with the California Energy Commission and the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, which brings together engineers and thought leaders for one full day to discuss best practices, cutting edge new technologies, and lessons learned by real end users – not marketing pitches.
We welcome case studies presented by an end user or customer. If you are the vendor of an exciting new technology, please work with your customers to submit a case study. Case studies of built projects with actual performance data are preferred.
Topics to consider:
Energy Efficiency and/or Demand Response
Efficient Cooling (Example: Liquid Immersion Cooling)
Efficient Power Distribution (Example: DC Power)
IT Impact on Energy Efficiency (Example: Energy Impact of Data Security)
Energy Efficient Data Center Operations
In the final version of your case study, you will need to include:
Quantifiable savings in terms of kWh savings, percentage reduction in energy consumption, annual dollar savings for the data center, or CO2 reduction
Costs and ROI including all implementation costs with a breakdown (hardware, software, services, etc) and time horizon for savings
Description of site environment (age, size or load, production or R&D use)
List of any technology vendors or NGO partners associated with project
Please submit a short (1 page or less) statement of interest and description of your project or concept by March 2, 2012 to email@example.com with subject heading: DCES12. Final case studies will need to be submitted in August 2012. Submissions will be reviewed and considered in the context of this event.
Interested in setting up a demonstration project at your facility? We may be able to provide technical support and independent evaluation. Please call Anne at 408-501-7871 for information.

This is from steveX, he wasnt able to post it for some reason so i am putting this up for him.
Well since you guys turn my other post into a personal think, I will start a new one...lol.
OK, here is the write up on the a/c installation. most of the BLT parts are re-using in this installation, this also help keep the cost down.
first we will start with the a/c compressor. Has we know the l67 compressor can not be use with this a/c system, but we will us the clutch and pulley off the l67 compressor. you will need to use GM tool # J-33013-B (clutch remover and installer). this tool is a MUST. you can call 1-800-GM-TOOLS, for a FREE tool catalog. you will find all the tool you need to work on you GM car (any gm car).
here is the clutch and pulley remove from the l67 compressor.
http://photos.yahoo.com/bc/gnnext2003/v ... %26.view=t
this white parts you see on the compressor is the a/c clutch coil. this is what hold the clutch to the a/c pulley, when you turn the a/c on.
you do not need to remove this coil, cause the BLT is the same has the L67 (love GM).
here is the l67 clutch and pulley assemble on the BLT compressor.
http://photos.yahoo.com/bc/gnnext2003/v ... %26.view=t
http://photos.yahoo.com/bc/gnnext2003/v ... %26.view=t
if you notice the white connector on the compressor, this is for the a/c coil.
here is a pic of the BLT with its clutch and the L67 with the clutch off.
http://photos.yahoo.com/bc/gnnext2003/v ... %26.view=t
the clutch and pulley laying on the side is from the BLT (not use).
once you have the clutch and pulley assemble, then you can bolt the BLT compressor into the engine braket (more pic on engine braket).
Next step is, we will need to install all the a/c line for the BLT. no l67 line is use here. here is what you will need to do, once you have the line all connected. remember you will need to install NEW O-ring on all the a/c line and at the compressor connection (part store). we are going to elimanate the BLT wiring for the a/c. the only thing we will keep is the A/C clutch relay. here is a pic.
http://photos.yahoo.com/bc/gnnext2003/v ... %26.view=t
here are pic of the stock BLT line. notice the RED cap on the high pressure line. this cap is the 134a a/c adapter.

if you notice also in the first pic, you will see a plug with a yellow connector. this plug is for the a/c pressure sensor (L67). you will find this plug on you L67 engine wiring harness. it is located about 6 inches away from the PCM, two long connector. you will need to cut the three wire on this plug and extend it to the right side of the engine compartment. on the L67 a/c system this sensor in located on the left side engine compartment, right under the air cleaner. the reason you need to re-locate the sensor is because the BLT is on the right side engine compartment, in the high pressure a/c line. the stock BLT pressure sensor has two pin, you can not use this sensor, you must use the three pin sensor off the 97-2002 L67 a/c system ($29). you do not need to figure out any wiring here. but i will tell you what they are for.
they are three wire. GRAY, RED/BLK, and BLK
GRAY wire is 5 volt. this wire gose to the pcm. curcuit 474
RED/BLK wire is pressure signal to the pcm. curcuit 380
BLK wire is ground in the pcm. curcuit 452
all the wire on this sensor goes to the pcm. all you need to do is extend the wiring harness. so the plug can reach the right side of the engine compartment.
Now you will have a DK GRN/WHT (A/C compressor clutch request input)wire comming out of the pcm. on curcuit 762. this wire will go to the climate control unit inside the car. on the 89 BLT this wire will connect to the LT GRN wire behind this climate control.
also from the PCM you will find a DK GRN/WHT wire (A/C compressor control relay control). this wire will go to the BLT A/C relay on the firewall. here a pic.
http://photos.yahoo.com/bc/gnnext2003/v ... %26.view=t
this wire will connect to the LT GRN/BLK wire on the BLT A/C relay. the Lt BLU wire will need to be connected to the PNK/BLK wire on the relay, or you can wire it into the fuse block. this wire must only have 12 volt with the key ON.
now thats it for the wiring. all the other sensor is elimated from the BLT a/c line.
this is how the system will work now. when the driver turn the a/c on. the compressor clutch will engage. the pcm will look at the a/c line pressure. once the PCM see the a/c line pressure is too high it will dis-engage the clutch, when pressure drop to safe range, it will engage the clutch. this PCM montior the complete system, throught the a/c pressure sensor.
now you will need to get the 134a conversion kit . this kit cost about $40.00 in any local auto part store.
http://photos.yahoo.com/bc/gnnext2003/v ... %26.view=t
the kit is made by INTERDYNAMICS INc, MODEL # RKR-5,which is located in my hood (brooklyn N.Y. the kit come`s with three can of refrigerant (134a). in each can ,you have 12 oz of refrigerant, 3 oz oil, and a O-ring conditioner leak sealer. Low and High service port adapters. here is the low adapter:
http://photos.yahoo.com/bc/gnnext2003/v ... %26.view=t
here is the high side adapter, red cap:
http://photos.yahoo.com/bc/gnnext2003/v ... %26.view=t
these adapter screw right on to the BLT fitting.
the kit also come`s with the connector to charge the system. and thats it.
NO, YOU DO NOT NEED TO REPLACE THE R-12 LINE. un-less they are leaking.
once you have the system completely assemble, you will need to vacumm the system ( auto shop), and have a shop check for leaks. you can charge the a/c system your self, with the kit. it is very easy, just read the instruction in the box.
i fill the system with two cam of 12 oz 134a. when you charging the sytem you must turn the a/c ON, so once the a/c pressure sensor detect pressure, it will trun the compressor ON, so the Refrigerant can move throght the system. when the compressor turn On, the cooling fan should also turn on. only the little fan will tunr ON, the big fan will turn when the engine coolant temp reach operating temp. the BLT a/c capacity is 1.30 kg (2.87 lbs), this mean you will need 2 3/4 can of refrigerant.
That it, you L67 a/c 134a conversion (swap)
NOTE: i will not post this again. i recommend this topic be save and post in a different section. please Don`t bug me later on for all the infor on the a/c swap. i will only help with little tips, once you are doing the swap.

It's Floyd Mayweather v/s Conor McGregor in the Fight of the Century.
In a contest where you literally have two people beat each other up to a pulp, what role does the mind have to play?
It's easy to suggest that in a field as physical as boxing, there's no room for the mind. However, that couldn't be further from the truth. Over the years and across sports, mind games have been one of the most common tactics used by athletes. These mind games can manifest in a variety of ways. It's common for athletes to 'talk smack' about their opponents in an attempt to agitate them. It's also common for athletes to make remarks in a public forum to put pressure on their opponents. However, there's one tactic that's used more than any other, and that is the use of fear.
Every person is afraid of something or the other. When it comes to athletes, this could be a fear of failure, a fear of disappointing fans, and sometimes, even a fear of their opponents. Often, fear is a weapon that's used even before the battle begins. The MMA is infamous for its pre-fight staredowns, where the competitors attempt to intimidate each other.
Have a listen to what the Indigo 91.9 FM mind coach, Ian Faria had to say about fear.
It's not just fear. It's also the attitude a person has in general that greatly affects the outcome of a competitive event. Some people, they play to win, while others play to express their passion and love for the sport. Both outlooks have their advantages and disadvantages and can make a big difference in the ring. Those who play to win are willing to go any extent to win and hold the advantage in high-pressure situations.
Here's what Ian Faria had to say about the inherent nature of people.
Floyd Mayweather are Conor McGregor are set to battle it out on the 26th of August and it promises to be a battle of brains and brawns alike. All that remains is to see who will emerge victorious. Who are you rooting for?

Real people experiencing real life seasons. These are the types of people who we get to come along side of, Discover their journey together, and set forward Direction that blesses them with encouraging movement to overcome and keep moving ahead in life. Whether it's personal issues or exterior issues that come to impact our lives, we could all use someone to listen, discover and guide (not direct) us towards a positive future with hope and confidence. Here are just a few of the many stories we have been honored to come to know.
When approached by Mike to describe what The Power of Next has done for me, I had no problem coming up with things to say about him and the program. What started out as a staff development time with me and my coaching staff at our Baseball Facility soon morphed into a time where I would listen together with Mike and be challenged in my personal growth. Anything you are usually not comfortable with requires time to learn and be open to. The more I talked with Mike, I found myself opening up and I realized that he could help me and my staff find the direction and discovery to help us grow as people and as a business. I felt very comfortable sharing my life situation with Mike. To have that voice outside to help me look within built trust quickly. The more time we spent together, the easier it was to open up and keep growing. Not only has The Power of Next helped with launching a new company, but also transitioning out of professional baseball and into being a full-time dad. That daily availability to have someone to talk to was irreplaceable for me. I am a good 'spokesman' for this because I am not the type of person who normally puts his life out there for others to see. Nor do I easily let other people in as I did with Mike. To let my guard down and text whenever for any reason whatsoever was a huge help for me. I would not hesitate at all to recommend The Power of Next for anyone to jump in and try it out at any level they feel comfortable with. I have nothing but positive things to say about my personal experience with The Power of Next. From this I can honestly say that I look forward to what is "Next" in all aspects of life.
Adam Kennedy – MLB player 1999-2012

Teacher – Hilda Beckman
The year 2006 was a year of love and deceit. It was the year I felt my life was in control, my marriage was solid, and our kids were doing well in school. But, in a blink of an eye, life had gone out of control. Being the type of person who knew what was always coming next, having all schedules in order, knowing where each kid was going, suddenly that was all gone. My husband was a recovering alcoholic for three years before his death. The damage had been done. Again I felt abandoned, but not for long. Mike's words kept coming back to me, "You are not alone". How powerful those words have become. I have been widowed, angry, melancholy, but not alone.
Baseball Broadcaster – Jose Mota
Where do I begin to explain how "The Power of Next" has contributed to my life? I am one of several children in my family. My father, who played professional baseball, heavily influenced my life. All of this and more contributed in forming who I am today. I rarely took a long look at all of these life formations together to get a better grasp on where I am today and how they impact my decisions for tomorrow. The Power of Next and my time with Mike began to allow me to approach each day with a holistic perspective. I now see each day as an opportunity for balance in all four areas of my life. This has not only helped me but I have chosen to also share this with others, especially my family. My wife and children share our Mota heart for others while starting a foundation that definitely reflect The Power of Next's elements of Discovery and Direction.
Producer/Singer – Gerardo Mejia
"What can I tell you? Mike Bearden is one of those people who has a passion for people. No matter who the person is, Mike has a genuine love and desire to come along side of individuals no matter what life throws at them. Mike helps keep me grounded. He listens to every aspect of my life. I know he is truly available for me 24-7. That is no easy task considering my crazy life."
LAFD Captain – Roy Paige
In my line of work as a firefighter, I am always jumping from one challenge to another. The Power of Next has really encouraged me and kept me grounded during the most hectic of fire seasons, both at work and at home. The ideas of understanding my identity and what surrendering to that identity means for me has helped me personally in my marriage and with my kids. Balance is something I hear about but never really chose to incorporate into my life until Mike shared with me specifics on how I could do this daily. Every day is a challenge. As I said, in my line of work you never know what the next day holds in store. But I am more confident and optimistic because of the practical steps I have learned from The Power of Next.

Donald Trump won't fire campaign manager charged with battery: 'I don't discard people'
Donald Trump vowed to stand by his campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, who was charged with simple battery on Tuesday, saying he doesn't "discard people."
Trump made the comments hours after Lewandowski was charged with simple battery for allegedly grabbing a female reporter's arm following a news conference on March 8 at Trump National Golf Club in Jupiter, Florida.
"Corey's a fine person," Trump told reporters gathered on his private plane in Janesville, Wisconsin, where he was set to host a campaign rally later in the day. "I looked at the tape ... and those tapes to me are very conclusive. A lot of people are looking and saying, 'How can anybody be charged."
Trump responds to allegations against campaign manager, video shows she was grabbing at me https://t.co/rUAoDtteMR https://t.co/z9Egl9Cbr6
— The Situation Room (@CNNSitRoom) March 29, 2016
In the interview, Trump also said the woman Lewandowski allegedly grabbed, former Breitbart News reporter Michelle Fields, grabbed at Trump.
"She was actually, if you look at her .... she's grabbing at me and he's acting as an intermediary and trying to block her from doing that," Trump said. "She was running up and grabbing and asking questions," Trump added.
Trump also suggested in his statements from his plane that Fields, who tweeted an image of bruises on her arm from the incident, was lying about where the bruises came from.
"How do you know those bruises weren't there before," Trump said in response to a reporter's question. "Wouldn't you think that you would have yelled out a scream or something if she has bruises on her arm?"
Other campaigns condemned Trump for standing by Lewandowski after the arrest.
Former presidential hopeful Carly Fiorina, who endorsed Ted Cruz, said the incident reflects poorly on Trump.
"Tone is set at the top," Fiorina told reporters during a Cruz campaign stop in Cedarburg, Wisconsin.

— Ken Thomas (@KThomasDC) March 29, 2016
Ohio Gov. John Kasich didn't mince words on how he would handle Lewandowski's arrest.
"The report is that he grabbed somebody, and that's frankly totally and completely inappropriate," Kasich said.

"If it was me, if I was in this circumstance, I would take some sort of action, either suspension or firing," Kasich added.

Two projects in County Durham have been shortlisted for prestigious civil engineering awards with the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) North East.
ICE North East has announced that Seaham Sewage Treatment Works Inlet Works Upgrade, in Seaham and the East Tanfield Sewage Treatment Works Upgrade, in County Durham have both been shortlisted for recognition in its 2019 Robert Stephenson Awards.
Seaham Sewage Treatment Works Inlet Works Upgrade is one of five projects from across the region to be shortlisted for the Small Projects Award, and the East Tanfield Sewage Treatment Works Upgrade is in the running for the Large Projects Award.
The awards are held annually to showcase the outstanding work done during the past year by civil engineers in the North East. They are divided into three categories; projects with a cost in excess of £5m will compete for the Large Projects Award, projects valued between £1million and £5million compete for the Medium Projects Award, and those under £5m can apply for the Small Projects Award.
In 2018, the Cobalt Cycle Scheme, delivered by Capita for North Tyneside Council, was the Small Project category winner, and The Blyth Offshore Demonstrator Windfarm Project, delivered by BAM Nuttall for EDF Energy Renewables was the winner of the Large Project category.
This year's winners will be revealed at ICE's annual black-tie dinner at Gosforth Park Hotel on 2 May, sponsored by CDM Recruitment Ltd.
Penny Marshall, ICE's regional director for the North East said: "The standards of entries we have seen this year is exceptionally high and the judges now have a very difficult task ahead of them.
"There are thousands of civil engineers in the North East that work tirelessly to design, improve and maintain the infrastructure that we rely on, and these awards are a great opportunity to highlight the positive impact their work has on our lives."
"The standards of entries we have seen this year is exceptionally high and the judges now have a very difficult task ahead of them."

The HE Art, Design and Media (ADM) sector and the world of policymaking are both changing fast and CHEAD is changing too. In response to consultations with our members, we are moving steadily towards a more open, inclusive and networked approach to our policy work. We have begun by forming or revitalising existing specialist networks within CHEAD, which can bring together and channel the enormous expertise available within CHEAD's networks. Now that our networks are gathering strength, we ran our first Open Policy Workshop, on 11 July, to solicit a detailed and nuanced input from experts within CHEAD's Links networks to BIS' TEF Technical Consultation.
Members of CHEAD's Subject Associations Links Network as well as learning and teaching experts from all four UK nations have responded enthusiastically – generating, synthesising and mapping a wealth of insights then identifying key gaps in the sector's teaching and learning evidence base – all in a single afternoon's intensive workshop. We are currently compiling the outputs to be distributed to stakeholders including BIS, and for further analysis, but these have already enriched CHEAD's response today to the TEF Technical Consultation for Year II. We are now bringing together an Expert Panel from the Links Network to work on TEF implementation going forward, and we will continue to use Policy Lab toolkits to democratise our policy work and draw on the power of our networks to advance the interests of the sector as a whole.
We are grateful to all our members who volunteered their expertise and time and would like to give particular thanks to Gillian Youngs of Westminster School of Media, Arts & Design; Vicky Gunn of Glasgow School of Art; Louise O'Boyle from Ulster University; and Kate Wicklow from GuildHE for facilitating at the Open Policy workshop and sharing their expert insights as well as to Judy Glasman, University of Hertfordshire, for her participation and a wealth of additional input to the CHEAD response to the TEF Technical Consultation. Thanks also to Nicky Dewar from the Crafts Council.
Back in February, CHEAD also formed our Research Strategy Group, Chaired by Karen Fleming of the University of Ulster, bringing together Art & Design REF panellists who will steer CHEAD's launch of a Research Alliance network next Autumn and provide professional support, networking and strategic planning to ADM in REF for our membership. The Research Strategy Group fed into CHEAD's response to Lord Stern's REF Review Call for Evidence and the wider Research Alliance will also be invited to input to future policy work relating to REF.
If you'd like to participate in CHEAD's policy and advocacy work, look out for the CHEAD newsletters with the pink banner at the top which bring regular briefings and opportunities to get involved. CHEAD newsletters with the black banner bring news of our events, professional support and membership activities. If your institution is a member but you are not receiving CHEAD newsletters, please do contact Anna Maloney, Membership Manager, so we can add your name to our mailing list.

My wife is getting ready for the annual town wide yard sale, which means mooching around in a hot attic where we collect all the things that we don't have room for in the rest of the house. They are possessions with some usefulness left in them, but not quite enough to keep around and too much to just throw away. But I think if we could build a bonfire in the attic she would be happy to throw all of our clutter into it.
"Simplify, simplify," Thoreau advised us, and "It is preoccupation with possessions, more than anything else, that prevents us from living freely and nobly."
When I was in my twenties I thought nothing of loading all of my possessions into the back of my second-hand Mercury Montego and setting off into the west. I had some books and a duffle bag of clothes, and if I was not living nobly, at least I was living freely.
Somewhere out on the plains of Texas on a long highway under the moon I drifted into a reverie imagining my life as I should live it. I dreamed I would live in a little cabin near the water where I could sail a small skiff every morning on the flat Gulf of Mexico before going off to some job that paid enough to get by on. Or I would go back to the home where I had grown up in south Florida and plant orange trees like my grandfather had done when I was a young boy.
In those days I wanted to simplify my life and complicate my mind. The two things seemed to go together. A rich interior life was the complement of a monastic stripping away of nonessentials, and especially of all the nonessential possessions. Like the young Burmese dissident, who released from 10 years in a prison cell into the workaday world felt nostalgic for his life of reading and contemplation, the more I had the less free I felt.
It must be twenty years now since we moved into this old house and began to slowly fill the attic with our debris. Old picture frames and baby clothes, the child's gate and the bookcase with a wobbly base. Old computers and the manuals we once needed to make them operate. Books, some of them rain damaged, in boxes against the wall. Once it has gone to the attic, there is little chance it will ever come down again.
Oh, my wife found a few things with a useful second life for someone, and we carried them down to the church for their sale. Someone is always coming along who could use a child's gate to keep their toddler from tumbling down the stairs. And there is always someone handier than I, who can take the wobble out of a bookcase and put it to good use. But if a tornado were to come along and suck the rest of the stuff out into oblivion, we would be none the sadder.
Those are probably not the kinds of possessions Thoreau was going on about. Since his days, the amount of distracting stuff we all own has grown by exponential leaps and bounds. We are tethered by electronic chains to our distractions, including the one on which I'm typing these words. Simply, simplify, he cried, and took off to the woods and the pond. How rich we would be if we could follow him there.

"In the olden days, people knew how to read the heavens, though they did not have names to call what they saw. Their minds were serene, and they had wisdom that came from the will of God. People were respectful, kind, understanding, and loving to their fellow beings. Today, people have reached very high levels of education, yet their minds are easily provoked; they are often angry. When you give them advice, they respond negatively. But it is also not right for us to just leave them that way." --- ESTELITA "INDAY TITANG" DIOLA, CEBUANO-VISAYAN SINUOG HEAD RITUALIST, CEBU, CENTRAL PHILIPPINES
Babaylan Wisdom
When I was preparing for my mandala journey back in 2008, my original intention was to begin with my home country. But I never thought it would begin with the Babaylan, the Filipino shaman or priestess. Tracing back the steps, it makes sense to begin the pilgrimage with her for for s/he is the bearer of the country's spiritual and cultural heritage - a rich source and wellspring of the earth story of my land and people.
This journey specific to the Babaylan began in 2011 when one of my mentors Fr. Albert Alejo, a Jesuit priest, peace worker, and advocate of the plight of indigenous peoples invited me to help launch the Babaylan book of Leny Strobel in Manila. I found the invitation too overwhelming for me as I was still a neophyte in the context of traditional Filipino wisdom and practice. I still have a pending thesis to work and maybe some additional units to take on if I still wanted to finish my minor in Cultural Heritage to add to my bachelor's degree in Social Sciences at the Ateneo de Manila University, I passed this invitation on to my friend and GINHAWA housemate Mini Gavino who apparently received an invitation from the author or her networks to put the launch together. She was after all well versed in this arena having been part of the prestigious Kontra- Gapi indigenous music and dance group and an avid researcher and advocate of the ancient Filipino script Baybayin.
Since then, I have been helping out in the gatherings as an artist by illustrating the logo of the project and creating a mandala ritual space; and as a singer by singing in some of the lecture - ritual sessions.
When I moved to Palawan, I have been invited several times by friends to visit Janet Dolera, a local Babaylan but hesitated until I found a sign that I would go at the right time. Early in 2013, I found myself under a sacred tree with Janet who has been helping out bring the stories of the Palawan Babaylans so that their wisdom and practices continue. She was one of those down to earth wisdom bearers you can directly converse with like a really good friend and mentor. It was a beautiful afternoon filled with so much clarity. The sun was shining and my heart was clear. She said that her spirit guides were asking her to relay to me story of how in the prehistoric Palawan myths during a time of crisis, the survival of humans depended on the harvest assisted by the God of Rice given out by the Creator/Bathala out of compassion. From what was shared by her guides, the story of ancestral bloodlines in relationship with nature spirits sharing with us the source of life primarily as food is something that needs to be remembered. As we started forgetting, veils have covered our eyes so we have forgotten to see and recognise them.
Why her message was important affirmed a beautiful experience with my Father in Manila last month. He showed me about his latest work for the FAO on Globally Important Agricultural Heritage Systems which builds on local knowledge and experience of indigenous agricultural systems reflecting the evolution of humankind, the diversity of its knowledge, and its profound relationship with nature.
Because during this time, my friend Karie Garnier, a Canadian humanitarian and artist was coming to Palawan to give a talk on Water Cure Therapy and the wisdom of his Cherokee mentor of 15 years, Rolling Thunder, the idea of holding two wisdom circles – both of the same indigenous souls from East and West came about. Also, by tradition of the interfaith dialogue practices I have been part of for three years, its best to open a gathering with the local spiritual practice so the spirits of the land where the meeting takes place help open up the sacred circle.
Thus, Earth Wisdom Circle was born inspired by my conversation with Janet and the message of her spirit guides and the Diwatas. Having her open the gathering held at Maia Earth Village in February 2013 for me was a blessing for the journey's beginnings.
The Palawan flood and food story and the story of the relationship of humans and the nature spirits that Janet shared to the circle lifted the energy of the space. Birds started swarming in a large number in circles behind us affirming the importance of the message of recognition and remembrance of our oneness story with the earth. She said that the God/Godess of this time of the Earth is Bathala na Tubignon (God/Godess of Water) to whom she is of sacred service for. Earth time in this period is the time of Water. Interestingly Karie, not having known this was the nature of Janet's sacred work, shared about the healing powers of his Water Cure Therapy.
Currently, I am working with Janet in helping put together Tayuksidi Collective, an initiative founded on the intention of creating spaces to hold the wisdom and practice of the Babaylans and the 7 major tribes of Palawan (Palaw-An, Tagbanua, Batak, Taaw't-Bato, Molbog, Kagayanen, and Keney through story circles and community rituals. One of its primary intentions is to create a network of School of Living Traditions that will host learning spaces and documentation of their practices.
Mandala Earth story is working with the continuation of the earth wisdom circles as KA-LIKHAsan which means Co-Creator, the essence of the word Kalikasan (Environment/Nature) in support for community rituals for festivities and gatherings. Another support is to help develop the creative fundraiser activities to set up a Kelang Banwa, the traditional civic center of the Palaw-an Tribe.

Farmer Diosdado beats the odds with improved pumpkin seeds
Diosdado Agustin Dela Cruz considers himself a risk-taker. "I would still grow pumpkins even during rainy seasons," the 46-year-old pumpkin farmer shared.
The married father of two owns a 3.5 hectare farm in Kasibu, a municipality in the Nueva Vizcaya province of the Philippines. Dela Cruz shared that he grew up in poverty, so he knows how to persevere and to take risks.
Despite the many risks related to growing pumpkins--poor germination, insects, difficult topography, and the lack of available laborers during harvesting-- Dela Cruz wagers on farming to continue their family's tradition and his parents' legacy. "I inherited farming from my parents, from whom I learned the value of the land and how to utilize it to make a living for my family. I am devoted to farming as my work and source of income," he said.
Dela Cruz's risk-taking ways have paid off. He has been beating the odds regularly and has now grown tremendously--going from an average monthly income of 10,000 pesos (200 USD) to 30,000 (600 USD) or 50,000 (1,000 USD), depending on the market.
He attributes his success to investing in good seeds. "If you start with poor seeds, they won't even germinate, and you waste your time and effort," he said. Dela Cruz became acquainted with the good quality seeds of East-West Seed twenty years ago. "In the 90s, the Department of Agriculture had a seed dispersal program in our town and they gave us a small can of Suprema seeds that came from East-West Seed, and that's how I learned of the company," he said.
That chance encounter led him to grow more and more Suprema pumpkins. "The plant was healthy and performed very well in my hilly field. The Supremas are really what consumers want when they buy pumpkins in the market."
Wagering on farming over the years has also made Dela Cruz a better farmer. He gained new skills and knowledge by learning new farming techniques.
"I learned to make use of technologies like seedling trays, plastic mulch, trellising, and better irrigation techniques especially in the hot summer time," Dela Cruz said.
With his unwavering perseverance and determination to take risks, there is no doubt that Dela Cruz will continue to win big in farming.

First – thank you to those who have friended my FB page and Twitter accounts. I will definitely need some time to grow into those as companions to my blog. I don't want to turn them just into references or referrals to the blog, or they would serve no real purpose. I'm certainly open to suggestions on those two fronts.
It was another busy, but great weekend with my dad having been up from Florida. Now that he is returning home later this week however, I do plan to update with some new posts – and for those who saw my recently played games on Coffee With Games.
Anyway, my son Chris wrote up a Pokemon DS review a couple of months ago that generated quite a few comments, and he's been excitedly working on a couple more reviews for the near future (he's been playing Dungeons, Mass Effect 2 and some other games I haven't reviewed yet). My youngest overheard this the other day and wanted to write her own game review. Probably her all-time favorite game is Little Big Planet for the PS3, but runner-up is likely Lego Harry Potter on the Xbox 360. She doesn't beat very many games, but she's beaten this one at least once. This was her first time trying to use Word for anything like this, so here goes:
Hello I'm Gillian and today we are going to talk about Lego Harry Potter years 1 to 4. Now it's very easy in years 1 and 2 but as you go on it gets harder and harder and may become impossible. Not for me though it was pretty easy, and this may be shocking but I was 8 when I beat it but right now I'm 9. It's really funny, cool, scary and misunderstood at parts in the game and it wasn't always like the movies in parts. But enough of the chit chat and let's get on with the game. So if you want to play the game on a different difficulty you need to beat the game first. It need to know you can beat the game on normal mode and then go into settings and change the mode.
The parts I liked were when Ron got smacked in the face with his broom because you were supposed to say up for your broom to come in your hand. Ron here wasn't paying attention so much. Then he said it to much making the broom come up alright… then whap! He was smacked in the face by his broom and I'm guessing it hurt. So if you chose to play it hop you l-o-v-e it.
My thoughts:
Basically I've seen Gilly play this game quite a bit now, and even parts she's seen before, she laughs at. The usual Lego humor shows up in this game as well, but there were definitely some darker parts of the game that she considered 'scary' as well – which does fit with the constantly maturing theme of the books/movies in the series.
I have not actually played this game yet, so there's a lot of things I wouldn't want to comment on – but the graphics were good (for what they are – they're not going to win any technical awards but the Lego aesthetics retain their charm), the sound and music fit, and there seemed to be more you could do in general with this game than some of the earlier Lego ones. With plenty to collect, explore and unlock, my daughter has played this game heavily even though she beat it several months ago, so I think that speaks to the game's replay value for her.
I've always found the Lego games cute (I've had Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Batman, Harry Potter and Rock Band – and I have a friend who will be giving us Pirates soon) – but they don't hold a lot of value for me. I tend to bore of them somewhat quickly – but my daughter? The game was a very good value where she is concerned. This is easily the Lego game she has played the most – her favorite in the series.
