1 Timothy 6: 10
"For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. Some people eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs"
The misinterpretation of this scripture has caused a lot of Christians to wallow in poverty. The scripture clearly states that the LOVE of money is the root of all kinds of evil and NOT money is the root of all evil. Therefore, it is our perception of money and the way we handle it that can make it good or bad. It is unfortunate that we have accepted this scripture with much prejudice that most of us have tended to ignore the good side of money.
One obstacle of achieving financial success is the belief that all people who are rich are evil. Some believe that, the poorer you are, the holier you are and the richer you are, the more evil you are. It is absolutely wrong to criticize or condemn those who have been able to financially achieve success because of their literacy in that field.
Don't be deceived, God wants us to be rich.
Deuteronomy 8:18
"But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God: for it is He that giveth thee power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swore unto thy fathers, as it is this day".
From this scripture, it is clear that God has given His children the ability and power to produce wealth. If riches were bad, why would God give His children the ability to produce wealth?
A few scriptures below should renew our thinking about money.
Ecclesiastes 10:19
"A feast is made for laughter and wine maketh merry: but money answereth all things".
Matthew 25:27
"Thou oughest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers and then at my coming I should have received my own with usury".
Proverbs 22:7
"The rich ruleth over the poor and the borrower is servant to the lender".
NB: The ultimate purpose of money is to help people and the kingdom of God.
From the scriptures we have come to the realization that God wants us to produce wealth and be very profitable. This can only be done with having knowledge concerning that field.
"A person may be highly educated, professionally successful and financially illiterate".
-Robert Kiyosaki
Always remember that the most powerful asset you have is your mind. There are really no limits to what you can accomplish in life unless for the limits you place on yourself through the lack of belief in yourself and your way of thinking.
Invest in your mind and gain knowledge in financial independence. Buy books that talk about financial freedom and take a decision to be rich.
May God guide you as you take a decision to be rich and to support the kingdom business.

If anyone would have predicted it they probably would have switched the bill around a bit, but the talents of three bands with animal references in their names combined forces to play a killer show at a venue that, honestly, sounds like it's named after an animal. The Social Animals played their last show on a long list of North American dates to an intimate audience at The Rino in North Kansas City on a Wednesday night, with local favorites Violent Bear and – filling in last minute – Chase the Horseman opening. Check out some highlights below!

CAMRA Ipswich & East Suffolk branch.last updated 21/01/2020
Badingham Victoriahistorical closure era: Victorian / Edwardian
closed pre-1891?
Low St
The Victoria is named in the 1851 census which lists the White Horse as the next entry.
According to A Survey of Suffolk Parish History, in 1844 the parish had two beerhouses in addition to the Bowling Green and White Horse but in 1891 only the two named pubs were still there, so presumably this beerhouse closed before that year?

Ten years ago, the world as we know it changed. The shift is what it became known as. Overnight, paranormal beings came out of the proverbial closet. Something, in reality, had shifted. Those who had no idea they were paranormal were awakened to a new reality. Ten years in and Harlowe Lake Kelly, Harley to her friends, is back in her small Oklahoma town, widowed and striking out in a new career, namely, a successful magic agency. Her uncanny abilities at using potions, spells, and other means at solving supernatural crimes, thrust her into a partnership with local law enforcement.
Things would be great if it wasn't for the three sexy, but deadly, men who stand at all corners of her new life. Lucien, the ancient, alluring Vampire who has made it clear he wants more than Harley's luscious curves. Cowboy, who wants to possess her in every way imaginable, and Aiden. The newcomer who has strict orders from his Vampire boss… but she senses has his own agenda. But in a world where things and beings are never what they seem, life isn't promised and love comes with many strings. So what's a girl to do to untangle those strings?

So what can you wear than that trench coat you have been wearing for more than a week already? Why, a Barbour france en ligne soldes pea coat jacket, needless to say. And that means you see, the womens pea coat jackets are in fact really versatile and thus quite essential for our cabinets.
Searching for a trendy yet classy jacket? There hasn't been any other colour but black that has not been unable to take the crown. To create things a bit more interesting, let's bring in the black hooded pea coat. The New York Hooded Pea Coat of Kenneth Cole has a soft but somewhat slouchy hoodie connected to the wool. You will feel right at home in this cosy small coat. For the ones who crave for more warmth, you'd be more fortunate with Anne Klein's Short Hooded Pea Coat, as it comes together with the Thinsulate liner that can provide you with a lot more heat in relation to the conventional pea coat. The double breasted coat comes with hood that is removable also, which means when you are not in the mood for hoods, you can always detach it.
You the white Barbour france en ligne soldes pea coat jackets introduce to us simply to bring in the comparing view. White? Because everyone else is wearing because sometimes, white and black keeps you cool and it blends well with other light colors that are easy to the eyes. With two welt hand pockets, the Varsity is a mixture of polyester and cotton fabrics. Though white does get dirty easily, it's also believed to be a spot as well as a refined representative clean white jacket can give the impression of a higher status.
We do urge, however, that you take something zesty and funky, in this way strawberry red jacket – Asymmetrical Pea Coat by Miss Sixty. This fearless however hot colour could say so much about your personality' daring, fun, and enthusiastic. The thick collar around the neck along with the cuffed sleeves inspires a vibe that is sporting. The protracted length of the jacket also helps to slim down your body.
But enough with the plain colors; occasionally a girl only have to test around with different patterns too, not just colours. Sizzle up things in these plaid pea coat jackets. The plaids that are awesome add a non-traditional modern touch to the jackets. Take the DB Fitted Wool Pea Coat. The Barbour france en ligne soldes heavy weight wool coat bought from www.manteaupascher.fr with two hand pockets on the front has outsize buffalo plaid print on it. For something a bit different, check out the grey-plaid Wool Pea Coat this one doesn't have the double breasted button front. The front is replaced using a snap button with latch and toggle closure. The collar is also broader compared to the standard ones.

Livestock Nutrient Management in Arkansas
All crops need nutrients to survive, flourish, and grow enough product to feed a growing human population. Nutrients come in the form of fertilizers and include such products as chicken litter. Too many nutrients, or incorrect application timing, may have negative impacts on both the crop and the environment.
For this reason, it is important to practice nutrient management so that suitable amounts of nutrients can be applied that will benefit the crop and have minimal environmental impacts.
The primary goal of nutrient management is...
to properly utilize nutrients for agronomic gain
while protecting natural resources

Non-Stormwater NPDES General Permits | Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ)
The purpose of the general permit is to provide a streamlined National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permitting process for certain classes or categories of industrial point source discharges. Coverage under a NPDES general permit is unique in that a facility operates and discharges under the requirements of the applicable general permit rule rather than the requirements of an individual permit.

Regulation 5 - Liquid Animal Waste Management Systems effective June 22, 2012
Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFO) | Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, commonly referred to as the Clean Water Act (CWA), created a federal permitting program – the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) – that requires a permit of any person discharging pollutants into a surface water body.
Concentrated, confined animal operations which are covered by EPA regulations defining "concentrated animal feeding operation" (CAFO) are subject to the NPDES program. The EPA requires all CAFOs to apply for an
individual NPDES permit or submit a notice of intent for coverage under an NPDES general permit. The Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) is the NPDES permitting authority in Arkansas.

we finally made it to Kuwait, and now we play yet another waiting game waiting for the sand storm to settle so that we can get into Iraq. the flight from CA to Maine was "interesting" our plane made a 200 ft free fall when we hit an unexpected air pocket of considerable strength. "damn" we thought, and we didnt even make to Iraq! so here i am now it is 0400 in the morning. but it seems that nights and days run together here, and you get sleep whenever you can. Kuwait is very very flat, for hundreds of miles, there is ALOT of sand, i have not seen a body of water since the United States. everyone is excited and geared up and ready to go. we knew that when we received out ammunition it was go time. i hope that all is well, i miss you and love you all, i am not sure when i will find internet next but i will write you. i will send pictures when i find better internet because it is to slow here.

Through the magic that is facebook, I've reconnected with several high school friends. More than twenty years after the fact (can it possibly be that long ago?!), Lynn posted an album with some school photos as well as pages from the book that we all took home after our senior night -- including the class will and prophecy among other things.
I vaguely recall participating in the preparation of the booklet. The credits list me as having helped design the cover, and I remember wishing to be reasonably polite when it came to the will, but looking at it now, I'm unsure how strong my influence might have been. There were a couple of real zingers, including, "Can you imagine [insert name here] without a hickey?" I perused the pages, giggling at some memories, and completely lost with others. (I'll play the "brain damage" card for those fuzzy remeberings.)
Anyway, the will stated I would "donate my boyfriends -- all 100 of them" -- to one not-so-social underclassman. I didn't have a boyfriend at anytime during my senior year. But...I did show up to every dance with a different guy. I was apparently not girlfriend material, because once J.R. (yes, I dated a guy named J.R.) and I broke up at his junior prom (because I hadn't gotten over Brent, but Brent already liked Stacy and by the time I wanted to get back with J.R., he had a thing going with Lisa, and then I was heartbroken all over again), I don't recall ever again having a steady. I was usually relegated to the role of my best friend's sidekick -- the gal who got to go out with her boyfriend du jour's friend. Good times...(?)
But on to bigger and better things...
The class prophecy turned out to be mildly prophetic. It predicted that, first off, my driving had not improved (was I that bad?), but was not an issue because I was walking a college campus as a professional student. It claimed I changed my major as often as I changed my hair and was still in school. So twenty(some) years later, here I am...a different hairstyle (just say "no" to perms)...and a different major (in my earlier years of college, I declared at least three separate career intentions)...and still in school.
I was surprised to be reminded that I had been voted by the class "Best Hair" (I think because it varied dramatically many times that year), "Most Revolutionary" and "Best Personality." Ohhh, and one writer decided it unimaginable that I might be a wallflower. I don't recall being a terribly boisterous student, but perhaps I stood out from the crowd back then just as I like to now (but this time around I'm the middle aged gal in class who blames her mistakes on a stroke).
So maybe the spunk that I currently embrace (and thought was new to me) has been around for a long, long time. I'm reasonably sure that it was stifled for several years while I was in the throes of making and nursing babies, but I could be mis-remembering again. In any case, it's good to be reminded that I didn't blend in then and I certainly don't want to now. I wonder what the Class of 2011 will think of me...

To mark Canada's 150th birthday, we are counting down to Canada Day with profiles of 150 noteworthy British Columbians.
Just as Doc Brown pushes Marty McFly to envision a future without roads in 1985's Back to the Future, actor Michael J. Fox continues to push the world toward a future without Parkinson's.
For many, it's his portrayal of McFly, a modern — well, for the '80s — teen thrown through a DeLorean-turned-time-machine into the past that cemented him as a household name for cinephiles. But it's Fox's tireless work advocating for Parkinson's disease research that has earned him international respect and admiration.
The 55-year-old actor was born Michael Andrew Fox in Edmonton in 1961. (He later adopted the J. as a nod to actor Michael J. Pollard.) Fox and his family moved frequently when he was young, until his father retired from the Canadian Armed Forces and the family settled in Burnaby.
In high school, Fox began to dabble with writing and music, trading his dreams of playing in the NHL for stage and screen. At age 15, Fox made his professional debut in CBC's Leo and Me alongside Brent Carver, followed by various roles in theatre, television and made-for-TV films.
He later moved to Los Angeles at age 18, where he landed the role of Alex P. Keaton on the NBC hit, Family Ties, a part he would play for the next seven years and that would earn him three Emmy Awards and a Golden Globe. After Family Ties wrapped, Fox went on to star in Spin City for four seasons, as well as a number of big-screen features, including Teen Wolf, For Love or Money, The Secret of My Success, and a fan favourite: the Back to the Future trilogy.
In 1991, Fox was diagnosed with Parkinson's. He wouldn't go public with his diagnosis until 1998. Following his departure from Spin City, he launched the Michael J. Fox Foundation, which would be dedicated to an aggressive campaign for Parkinson's research.
Fox returned to TV in 2013 to star on The Michael J. Fox Show for a season, playing a character who faces Parkinson's. He has also guested on The Good Wife, Curb Your Enthusiasm, and Rescue Me.
He is also the published author of three books, including Always Looking Up: The Adventures of an Incurable Optimist. Fox, as well, has received a number of humanitarian awards and honours, and in 2010, was appointed an Officer of the Order of Canada.

Over the years slating and other roofing work has steadily become a larger part of our business. It now accounts for around 50% of our annual turnover. We are kept particularly busy with slate patching work on high, steep, and awkward church roofs. We also carry out full strip and reslate jobs on all manner of roofs high and low.
All images can be enlarged by clicking on them. Click a 2nd time to close the image view.

Steeplejack access techniques are very useful for slate patching. This section of roof is above a high valley at Hawthornden Castle near Rosewell and Bonnyrigg.
It would have been very expensive to get a scaffold up here for traditional slating contractors. We were able to deal with this area of roof in a days work.

I actually preferred renting a house better than staying in the timeshare. There were many things that I did during both times in the area, besides laying beach side. Not only is this home to Bike Week every year, but there are also many historical places right in the area.
St. Augustine, the oldest city in the United States is only about a half hour car ride away. They have an amazing little log village where you can visit shops how they once were, watch silver smiths making jewelry, glass blowers creating wonderful vases and everything is for sale at excellent prices. The restaurants are amazing. With a view of the harbor and the ocean as a backdrop it is simply breathtaking. Not to mention the different tours that you can book, horse and carriage, trolley, or even a boat tour. This city has more to offer than can be done in a day or two.
Another short drive from Daytona is New Smryna Beach, which has amazing shopping, where you can get one of a kind items, this is one of the places you can still drive your vehicles onto the beaches (except during turtle nesting time), and there is this amazing little restaurant called J.B.'s Fish Camp & Restaurant. Both times I was in the area I have made a point to visit this establishment, not only can your rent kayaks and go out into the river way having both dolphins jump over your kayak and manatee's swimming under your kayak. It is such an amazing experience to get that close to nature and see how massive the animals really are. J.B.'s also has amazingly fresh crab and other seafood. When you order a pound of crab legs, you get at least a pound and a half or more. I can't wait to plan my next trip to the area just to visit J.B.'s again.
In Daytona, you have the strip of timeshares, restaurants, shops and of course the nightlife was so much fun. They also have the Daytona Beach Board Walk, which is complete with a Ferris wheel, arcade, plenty of bars and restaurants. Although there is much to do in Daytona Beach, I highly recommend going to the little off the beaten path restaurants that are located on the inland river ways for huge orders of sea food. I am looking forward to going back to visit all these locations and more in the area.

Here's the thing about "Good Drivers": There are none.
Or at least there are none that I know or could describe.
The only descriptors one can give another driver are those that have negative connotations.
For example, I know "Fast Drivers," who don't hold my safety in high regard.
I know "Slow Drivers," who don't think that my time is of paramount importance.
I know "Jerky Drivers," who don't want me to be able to sleep during the drive.
Then of course there are "Aggressive Drivers," who tail people dangerously close, and occasionally honk, all in the name of keeping things moving.

My husband and I have been married less than 10 years, but we're the quintessential "old married couple." We don't coo or act lovey-dovey, even though we have a lot in common and enjoy each other's company. Some onlookers might call our relationship stodgy, but most social scientists would say we happen to be the kind of folks whose friendship blossomed into love.
For other couples, love can look quite different. Some enjoy sparks and passion even decades into their relationship. Others obsess over every single detail of a 20-year marriage as if they had just started dating. In fact, experts say there are six different ways you can be "in love." And your love style may change over the course of your relationship.
Knowing your style can help you evaluate your relationship, says Susan Hendrick, Ph.D., a psychology professor at Texas Tech University, who -- with her husband and research partner, Clyde Hendrick, Ph.D. -- has spent 25 years studying relationships. It'll help you have more realistic expectations about how love happens for you and how it evolves. If you understand that it's normal for a loving couple to have a platonic relationship, for instance, you'll know not to worry if there aren't fireworks. (Health.com: Take back the bedroom. )
So what kind of lover are you? Check out these descriptions to find your personal style, and learn how you can keep your relationship healthy and happy.
The romantic
You love being in love. You may be swept away by your new lover's looks or other appealing physical attributes -- and disappointed when they change over time.
Remember that true love doesn't recede with his hairline, and romance doesn't have to fade as the relationship matures. Plan dates, weekend getaways, or just-the-two-of-you vacations to rekindle the spark that ignited your relationship, suggests Pepper Schwartz, Ph.D., a sociology professor at the University of Washington in Seattle.
The list-maker
"You have criteria that are important, and you won't change them," Schwartz says. Even if you're in a committed relationship, you may put too much pressure on your partner to live up to your standards.
Let go of the list. Schwartz warns that clinging to those must-haves could mean a chafed relationship or a lonely life. "Ultimately, the important things are companionship, love, a capacity for forgiveness," she says. "Not the stuff that may impress outsiders."
The obsessive
You want to spend all your time with your partner. And you constantly worry about your relationship, even when you've been together for years. Schwartz says this kind of partner can be overbearing or have highs and lows that drive her significant other crazy.
Don't crowd your lover, Schwartz says. "Realize that too much of a good thing can be too much." You may need to talk to a counselor who can help you understand why you feel so insecure and help you find ways to put your relationship in perspective.
The giver
You may give more than you get. "At some point, you find that it's all going one way," Schwartz says. You're constantly working selflessly to meet your partner's needs, but you're not looking after you.
It's important to have a life outside of your marriage. Develop your own interests, cultivate your own friendships, and reserve time to do things you like to do -- without your partner.
The player
You love courtship. "For these lovers, the chase is a lot of it," Schwartz says. You're easily bored in long-term relationships, though, and your eye may roam.
First, avoid situations that could lead to affairs. "Don't have a drink with that interesting colleague," Schwartz says. "Take temptation out of your life." Instead of looking for excitement outside your relationship, try doing new things (salsa dancing, anyone?) with your partner, so you can see him or her in a fresh light.
The pal
Love seems to creep up on you. One day you think, "Wow, I've really been spending a lot of time with Jack," then realize you're in love. In the long term, your relationship may be quiet, but it's strong.
Don't let your thing get too platonic. "You need moments of romance," Schwartz says. Planning a special dinner for two or just planting a passionate kiss on him once in a while shows your partner (and reminds you, too) that you think he's sexy and exciting.
Afi-Odelia E. Scruggs, Ph.D., a writer based near Cleveland, Ohio, tries to keep work from getting in the way of romance with her husband.

It was announced on 10 February 2008 that Charlotte was ready to make her return to TV. Church herself confirmed on 26 March 2008 that the show would be back with the same format in summer 2008 as well as a Christmas special.[5]
The series was moved to Thursday nights instead of Friday nights and began on 10 July 2008 with 2.4m viewers, matching the viewership that tuned in to the first episode of the second series.[6]
Series 4
Church stated on The Paul O'Grady Show that there would be a Series 4, containing more music and entertainment as opposed to interviews. In 2010, she announced she would not return to the show, saying she did not enjoy the presenting side of it.

Value Investors vs. Growth Investors
Investment philosophies can be either concentrating on value investing or on growth investing. You should clarify in which category you fall in order to select the most appropriate mutual funds that meet your investment approach.
Value Investments
When you are a value investor, you select assets with the so called "intrinsic value". This true value can be estimated as all the cash that a particular investment is about to generate until the investor holds it. Considerations about current levels of inflation should be taken. Moreover, risk-free Treasury return and equity risk premiums should be taken in to account as well. What is more, value investors generally invest in businesses that are well below the estimations of the intrinsic value. As a result most of them end up with very few investments at the end of the year. Under the correct evaluation of the cash flows, a company with 30 times earnings can be cheaper than a company with 8 times earnings. Thus, the value investors insure themselves against badly performing companies that have low price-to-earnings ratios.
If you recognize your investment philosophy in the previous illustration, then Third Avenue Value Funds, Oakmark Funds or Tweedy may be the right mutual funds to put your money in. There are many other mutual funds that offer value investments, so it is up to you to find them.
Growth Investments
If you are a growth investor, then you are inclined to buying the currently best performing and fastest growing companies. Growth investors disregard the price at which they can procure the company. On the other hand, many investors prefer steady dividends that are mainly observed with blue chip companies.
If you are an investment beginner it may be hard to determine your investment philosophy. But don't worry, by accumulating experience you will soon find your investment style. Then you should try to stick to it and choose mutual fund families that best correspond to it.

SITE: Cambrils (Cambrils Pavilion)
Competition dates: June, 23rd and 24th
Karate (the way of the open hand) is a martial art developed on the Ryukyu Islands in what is now Okinawa, Japan. It developed from the indigenous martial arts of Ryukyu Islands, when the spirit of Zen was included into the fighting techniques. Unlike the other martial arts, in which the aim is to make the maximum number of hits, karate aims to master the self-defence techniques.
Karate is now predominantly a striking art using punching, kicking, knee and elbow strikes, and open hand techniques such as knife-hands, spear-hands, and palm-heel strikes. Historically and in some modern styles grappling, throws, joint locks, restraints, and vital point strikes are also taught.
This sport was first held in the Mediterranean Games of 1993 in Llengüadoc-Rosselló (France).

After a day of recouperating yesterday I think I'm finally able to recap the trip a bit. Wow, crazy and tiring trip from the word go.
Mike and I hit the Palm Beach train station around 4am on Thursday morning after getting what I'd probably call, no sleep. It's tough to get some rest when you know you have to get at 3am to travel for a day. After getting to the station we barely made the train, running our asses off over the terminal bridge. Two hours later we were in Miami but wow, that will wake you up at 4am.
The flight left at 7:45 though our boarding pass said "boarding at 7:45" so guess what we had to do… that's right, run to the damn terminal after breakfast and a couple beers. Finally on the plane we tried to get some rest. It's not easy to sleep in the middle seat, yeash.
Once we landed off to the hotel, an easy 5 minute ride. The hotel check in time was 4pm but we got there some time around 11. They said just hang out and we'll have it ready as soon as possible so off to the pool for a cocktail or two. We found a local grocery store after some mis-information from the bartender and picked up some booze and plastic bottles to mix out own drinks in. Grabbed a cheeseburger and waited in the lobby….
After 5 hours of that… we finally had a room! Yeah, check in time was 4pm. Finally we could get some rest. Mike and I got a few hours of sleep then the real fun began…

It centers on Heather Mason (Adelaide Clemens), the little girl from the first film now all grown up to fetching high school age. She holds the key to some great evil imprisoned in the town of Silent Hill, along with crazy cultists, fetishized bondage demons and her own evil mother/sister/twin. Her father (Bean) keeps moving her around, lest the crazy cultists hunt her down, but when he gets kidnapped, she has to come to Silent Hill to get him. Sure, she knows it the one place she should never, ever go under any circumstances, but a horror movie cannot live on only a dream fake-outs forever.

I am off again, galavanting. This time through Europe! It will be my first time solo traveling in Europe, and I plan to see somewhere around 8 countries. The thought of planning a 3 month trip through 8 different countries was frightening to say the least… but I did it! Here I am half way through my time in Europe, and starting to reflect. I put together a list of the 10 things I wish I knew while preparing for my trip. Getting ready for a big trip can be a mountain of a task, especially if it is a destination you have never been to. Hopefully this guide helps to point you in the right direction. Be warned some of them are totally embarrassing things, that I know good and well I should have known, but I am not here to be an expert. I am here to give you the honest truth, as I make my way on this journey. Giving it to you real: The Good, The Bad, and The 'Wanderful'.
Seasons Don't Change Slowly in Europe
This lesson was a hard one to learn myself! I did not look closely enough at typical weather patterns for all the countries I was visiting, and for this I froze my buns off for the first half of my trip. I started in London and the weather was fantastic, warm and sunny every day around 80 degrees fahrenheit (Side-note, I just realized I have no idea how to spell fahrenheit, I was spelling it so badly even autocorrect had no idea what the hell I was trying to say, and so I had to google it). I figured I would have at least 3 weeks of "transitional weather" before it got really cold… wrong-o. The temperature dropped 30 degrees from when I left London to when I got to Germany, which was within a week. Despite the fact that I was wearing almost every article of clothing in my bag at once, I was still under-dressed for the weather in Amsterdam and Germany especially. If you are traveling in a transitional season, bring warm winter clothes. Better yet don't travel in a transitional season! Its a pain in the butt. Pick a season, and you will thank me when you don't have to pack both your bikini and your parka.
Not Everywhere in Europe Uses the Euro
Ok yes, this one is a little embarrassing… I knew not EVERY country used the Euro, but I thought all the Schengen Countries I was visiting on this trip did. First of all, this is great info to know when budgeting, and planning when and where you will exchange your home currency. I never exchange all my money at once, especially if my trip will last over several months because the rate can always change (hopefully in my favor). Also if you are bussing into another country, and you arrive late at night, and only have Euros… and they don't use Euros, no bueno for you… Trust me I know. So here is what I learned, it has nothing to do with Schengen countries, it is much easier to think about it in terms of the EU. All of the European Union countries use the Euro except: Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Sweden, and the UK (I knew this one!).
WiFi is NOT Readily Available All Over Europe
This came as a surprise to me, it really depends on the country but I think it is best to prepare with the thought that you may need to hunt for wifi. I especially found this to be true in Germany. I would say to be on the safe side insure your accommodation has wifi, that way you know you will be able to use the world wide web at least once a day (for research, chatting, or working purposes). Typical places that have wifi: cafes, "coffee shops" (in Amsterdam), some restaurants, and large malls.
Laundry Facilities are NOT Always Easy to Find
If you are traveling for more than 2 weeks, the only way to pack light is to do laundry along the way (I guess you could also commit to wearing dirty clothes over and over… but for the sake of making new friends I went with the less smelly option). When traveling in South America I found this very easy to do, there was a 'Launderia' around every corner. Not so much in Europe. Most Europeans have washers in their apartments and hang their clothes to dry, and so a laundry mat in the city has been hard to come by. When booking accommodation I would say every 2-3 weeks attempt to find a place near a laundry mat or ask if they offer laundry services at your hostel/hotel/airB&B/etc.
Your Travel Schedule WILL Change… At Least Once
I know it can feel mildly stressful for some not knowing where you will be next, but that is half the fun of this! Over the course of 2 weeks I have added and subtracted at least 2 destinations from my itinerary. I would say have an "outline" of what you want to see and about how long you want to stay in each place, but don't book transition-travel right away. If there is somewhere expensive (or not continental) it could be beneficial to book a flight in advance. For example, I knew I wanted to go to Greece, and the only cheap way to get from there to Spain was to fly and stop in Malta, so I booked that about 1 month ahead. For all the other places between Germany and Greece where I knew I was going to take a bus, I budgeted for the average price, but waited to book the ticket. I have added Budapest and Vienna to my trip since I booked my Greece flight and getting cheap bus tickets 2 days in advance has been no issue.
Budget for Public Transportation
For some reason I did not factor into my budget getting around, once I got there… Silly me. Do not make my same mistake. While public transport is reasonable easy (depending on the country) and affordable, it still adds up! If you are going to be staying in a city for any more than 2 days, it might be worth looking up prices per trip for their metro system and making a per day budget for transportation. Even if it is just 5 euros a day, that is an extra 280 euros needed for a 2 month trip. Most cities have a 1/2/3 day pass, and some even week long passes geared towards tourists.
Hope these help you while preparing for your big trip! Any tips you have for pre-trip planning? Let me know in the comments, or if you have specific questions about… anything, ask away!

Does "living off the grid" include all the amenities I'm used to?
Yes! Living off the grid is absolutely wonderful! We have plenty of electricity to serve all your needs. This includes free wireless internet in some areas. Each room is equipped with a large ceiling fan and a mini fridge. If you have never before experienced being off the grid, then you are in for a real treat! We create our own electricity directly from the sun via solar panels and have multiple rainwater collection systems. Our organic farm provides lots of veggies for our farm to table restaurant. If we did not tell you that we are off the grid, you would never know it! Welcome to the new Eco-Conscious way of living and traveling green!
How often will my towels and bedding be changed during my stay?
As we are conscious of our water, chemical and electric resources, we change towels and bedding every two days. If a guest has a special need, we are always open to finding a solution that meets both parties' needs. We only provide towels for in-house use for shower and personal care.
Do you provide any shampoos or soaps?
Due to the many and varied needs and sensitivities of our guests we do not provide cosmetic soaps or shampoos. We do, however, provide hand soap. We do not provide house shoes, slippers, but you are most welcome to bring your own. We do not provide hairdryers and recommend to let it dry in the Caribbean sun for energy saving reasons.
Payments - Credit Cards
You're booking confirmation number is your Paypal confirmation number. The total of your stay is due upon arrival, unfortunately, we do NOT accept credit or debit cards at this time. Your room deposit will be held until you return your key, minus the cost of extra drinking water ($8 for a 5-gallon water bottle) and any lost keys or room damage.
I would like to speak the manager, but no one is picking up the phone!
Extreme is a little different than other places – our staff often has more than one 'job' and therefore they can be found around the hotel property, thus they are not always in the reception. You always reach any of our team members by emailing [email protected] and someone will respond to you within 24 hours, often much earlier.
If you're on the property, you can find the cell phone number of the manager on duty that day on the front gate of the reception.
What Airport to I fly into and how do I get to the hotel?
There are four airports that you could fly into: each has pros and cons, so we like to let guests decide what works best to balance their budget and travel style.
Depending on which airport you fly into there are different options for getting to the Extreme Hotel. If you are flying into Puerto Plata (POP) you can take a taxi, which will cost around 35$ USD, takes about 20 minutes and the hotel can set it up for you! The taxi is a good idea if you have multiple pieces of luggage. You can also take a guagua, which is a public bus/ minivan, although they only run during day light hours. You can catch a guagua on the main road, about 1km from the airport – head east (to the left if the airport is behind you). It will cost you 40 pesos, but they may charge extra if you have extra luggage.
Santiago (STI) airport is approximately an hour and a half travel time, through the mountains. A taxi will run you about $100 USD and we recommend Coco Tours. You can also take a local bus through Caribe Tours, which will get you from Santiago to Sosua. It will cost approximately 250 pesos, once you've arrived in Sosua you can take a guagua (again heading east, just cross the street and wait for one on the OTHER SIDE of the bus station) or take a taxi to the hotel.
Santa Domingo (SDQ) is a four-hour drive through the mountains to the hotel. A taxi will run you $200 USD and again we recommend booking through Coco Tours. The local Caribe Tours bus will get you to Sosua for approximately 380 pesos. Once you've arrived in Sosua you can take a guagua (again heading east, just cross the street and wait for one on the OTHER SIDE of the bus station) or take a taxi to the hotel.
Punta Cana (PUJ) is a seven-hour drive from Extreme Hotel. A taxi will cost you $400 USD, there are also local buses you can take. You will have to take one bus from Punta Cana to Santo Domingo, then a second bus from Santa Domingo to Sosua. Once you've arrived in Sosua you can take a guagua (again heading east, just cross the street and wait for one on the OTHER SIDE of the bus station) or take a taxi to the hotel. You can also book a flight from Punta Cana to Puerto Plata, which is only a 20 minute fdrive from the hotel.
To get back to the airport for your departure the reception staff will be happy to help you book a taxi. Upon arrival, or at any point in your stay just stop by the front desk and ask us to reserve a taxi for you!
What's the best time of the year to visit Cabarete?
Being a year-round destination, it's ALWAYS a good time to come visit the Dominican Republic! Depending on what you're looking to do on your active vacation there are better months to visit. Summertime is kite time; the temperatures are higher but the wind is consistent and conditions are great for kiting. Fall is a bit wetter, but that keeps the temperature down and the beaches are less crowded, making it a nice time for people looking to relaxing and rejuvenate. If you're a surfer, fall is also the best conditions for surfing! Winter has the coolest, most comfortable temperatures, but that also means there are the most crowds, making it party season!
What's the weather like in Cabarete?
The Dominican Republic is sunny and warm all year long, making it a prime destination any season. The annual average temperature is 25 degrees Celsius (77 degrees Fahrenheit). Rainy season in the north coast (where we are located) is from October to April and the south coast from May to November. Make sure to pack your sunscreen!!! Being on Kite Beach, in Cabarete we have wind 300 days of the year on average, almost always providing a refreshing cool breeze. In the summer months (June – August) it can get quite hot in midday, reaching upwards of 38 degrees Celsius or about 100 degrees Fahrenheit.
What should I pack?
We recommend packing mostly light, summery clothing. Shorts, lots of bathing suits, light color tops and relaxed dresses. Hats are great for sun protection, and if you're planning on kite boarding, bring a strap for your sunglasses and a rashguard to protect you from the midday sun. The vibe in town is pretty laid back, so there isn't much sense in bringing fancy clothing or heels. Bring a reusable water bottle for you to fill from your 5-gallon water jug in your room to take with you. Light makeup or no makeup is best with the heat, and don't forget to pack lots of SPF and mosquito repellent. Make sure to bring SOAP and SHAMPOO – the hotel doesn't provide them, if you forget or run out you can always get some in town. We have lots of shops with fun clothes, and our pharmacies that stock most of what you'd get in the United States, so if you forget anything you'll most likely be fine buying it here. Most guests find they pack way more than they end up using, so do your best to pack light and save on luggage space for souvenir shopping!
What language do they speak in Cabarete?
You can find a lot of locals who speak some English, but the official language in the Dominican Republic is Spanish. Cabarete has a lot of expats and tourist so it's pretty easy to get by with English here, but if you're planning on travelling a little future or are doing shopping and want to haggle prices it's a good idea to learn a few phrases before you arrive – it never hurts to be prepared!
What is the time difference?
The Dominican Republic is on the Atlantic Standard Time Zone, so it's the same time here as it is in New York.
How safe is Cabarete?
Cabarete is a safe place, but like any developing country there are precautions you should take. Always be respectful of the locals to avoid any altercations, this is their home, you're only a guest enjoying it. Keep a low profile – don't flash money, or wear expensive jewelry or watches. Walk in groups (especially at night), leave valuable (like your iPhone, extra cash or needless credit cards) at the hotel. If a problem does arise or someone confronts you, just give them your money or your jewelry, your safety is worth more than the cash!
If you want to RUN ON THE BEACH, it's perfectly safe to do so during the day, but it's not recommended at night.
Is it safe to rent a car or a motorcycle and drive in the DR?
Driving in the Dominican Republic can be stressful for the best of drivers. The roads have massive pot holes and are not well maintained, so driving at night is not recommended at all, and only experienced drivers (preferably with experience driving in third world countries) should attempt to drive here. Between guagua, motoconchos, taxis and buses you should be able to get around just fine without a car.
How do I get to town?
There are several ways:
- During the day, the town center is a beautiful 30-minute walk along the beach. We don't recommend walking into town after dark.
- Guagua – a which is a shared taxi-van for about 25 pesos. Just wait outside the gate on the road and flag one down as they drive by. They'll stop anywhere.
- Moto Taxi (Motoconcho) – not for the faint of heart, but one of the most commonly used local transportation. Getting to town is about 30-50 pesos per person, although sometimes the drivers charge more at night (three people can fit on one moto.)
- Taxis – a private taxi will run you about 300-400 pesos, there are always a few van waiting on the road just up from the hotel, a public taxi will cost 25 pesos per person, you stand on the road and when a car with a taxi box on the roof comes by just flag it down.
Where can I exchange money?
We never seem to bring enough cash on vacation, no matter where you end up. There are two main banks in Cabarete we recommend, the Scotia Bank and Banco Popular. You can use the machine and take out up to 10,000 pesos, if you need more you must see a teller and bring your passport.
Can I cook my own food at the hotel?
Each room is equipped with a mini-fridge for snacks and leftovers, but there is currently no common kitchen at Extreme Hotel. If you are staying downstairs, you'll notice that there is a staff kitchen, but it is for staff only, please respect this rule. We do have an incredible farm-to-table restaurant and several places to eat within meters of the hotel right on Kite Beach.
How long is the flight?
From the East Coast of North America, the Dominican Republic is a short, direct flight. From Toronto, it's 4.2 hours, New York City is 3.5 hours and from Miami just 2 hours. Los Angeles, you can expect a 6 hour (the same as getting to the east coast), and London is a 9-hour overnight flight. It's fun to play with the flight calculator to find how far away it is from your city.
How secure are the rooms?
The security gate was designed by a Navy Seal and the key turns the opposite direction than you're used to – towards the Mountain side (NOT the ocean). The hotel rooms are safe and secure, to keep it this way we have a strict no guests' policy. We also have surveillance cameras and 24-hour security on site. Rest assured you can leave your laptops and personal belongings in the room, lock up your passport and extra cash in your room safe and enjoy your day!
What does "no guests" mean?
For your own security, and the security of the other guests, we do not allow non-registered persons in the hotel rooms. If you have a friend who would like to stay, they need to register and pay as a guest of the hotel. Visitors are welcome in the bar, pool or lobby but NOT the guest room area.
What's this I hear about "The Farm"?
The Extreme Hotel has an Organic Permaculture Farm with rare tropical fruit and vegetables located on the river, 20 minutes away in Los Brazos. We recycle and compost our organic waste at the farm, reducing our impact on the environment. The farm provides many of the vegetables and fruits that are used at La Mesa restaurant. If you're interested in seeing the farm for yourself, you can book a tour at the front desk – it's an educational and interesting tourism experience complete with a farm-to-table lunch and a relaxing lazy river float.
Are there mosquitos?
All tropical islands are prone to mosquitos. Luckily we are on the beach which helps keep them at bay, as well as Kite Beach being a windy beach it blows those pesky mosquitos away. That being said, there are still mosquitos and it's best to take precautions and plan ahead, bring some long sleeve shirts as when dusk arrives the winds die down and the mosquitos come out. Bring insect repellent, especially if you plan on going on some adventures of visiting our organic farm! All our rooms are 100% screened in, so keep your screen doors closed and you should sleep soundly, bug free. We also spray the property with neem tree oil regularly, which acts as a natural deterrent.
I hear there are cockroaches in the Caribbean!
There are cockroaches all over the world, especially in the Caribbean climate. As an eco-hotel, we don't use intense chemicals to kill the bugs.
Iguanas, these cute little lizards are fun to watch, especially at night when they stalk the bugs outside your window. They help to take care of the cockroaches, so please leave them to do their job.
And our guardian cat Mathilda is as well on watch to keep at bay the beasts.
Why does my toilet keep getting clogged?
Like many places in Europe, the Caribbean and around the world the sewage system here doesn't allow for toilet paper and hygiene products to be flushed. Toilet paper and hygiene products need to go in the rubbish bin or it will clog the toilet, this isn't just at our hotel, it is everywhere. Unfortunately, we must charge guests a unclogging fee if they're toilet backs up due to toilet paper in the pipes.
How do I join one of the activities/ book tours?
When you arrive (or at any point during your stay), you can speak to the reception staff and they will help you book any additional activities. Please note that our activities are all run as separate small businesses, so they must be paid separately from your room. You can speak to the reception staff at any point and they will help you book any tours, most require at least a 24-hour notice for booking.
Can I extend my stay?
Yes of course – as long as there are free rooms! Please speak with our reception staff about extending your stay as early as possible. We will happily accommodate you as a long as there are free rooms.
Can I get laundry done?
The hotel doesn't offer laundry service, so you'll have to take it to town, there is a laundry mat beside Vagamundo Coffee (across from La Rosa Market) and one across from Janet's Supermarket. Wash and fold service costs between 30-50 RD/pound and you can pick it up the next day.

Today started out like any normal Saturday. A trip to the markets, some delicious breakfast and then home to tackle my rather large "to do" list.
Rewinding back 14 hours, my car wouldn't start, so first thing on my to do list today was a call to the RACQ.
Like most big companies they have a phone tree. Lots of prompts where you either speak or press buttons to move to the next branch. I detest phone trees and they can make me stabby in no time.
The voice on this particular phone tree was a man. A friendly man with a "not so much voice over" voice, which was rather pleasant for a change. For this blog post we will call him EPTVOM (Mr Electronic Phone Tree Voice Over Man).
Eptvom gave sensible options to which I could respond via voice or key pad. For some strange reason I chose voice, usually I don't because it will more than likely be a whole new world of pain as they can never recognise some of my numbers.
We started off nicely, Eptvom was friendly, I answered with a simple "yes" and "no" to the first few questions. He then wanted my rego number ... I said it, with trepidation ... F (sounds like S over the phone) and P (could be P, B, D, C and so on). This was not going to go well. Unbelievably, it was recognised straight away. Eptvom's responses were warm and friendly, just like he was really talking to me.
He advised me that everything was in order and then asked what was wrong with my car. I told him. He said "we can look after that for you. A service vehicle will be with you within the hour. Please wait with your car, but only if it is safe to do so. Thank you so much for calling RACQ".
Now here is where it got weird. I started thanking him back. I wanted to tell him how nice he was to deal with. "Thank you so much you have been really helpful. I appreciate it." Only there was no one there. I was talking to a robot! A machine. My Mr Eptvom was not real. He was a phone tree. My husband was standing next to me as I was thanking the robot, then looking at my phone with a hurt look because he was gone.
"What are you doing?" he asked.
"Um, well, I was thanking the RACQ man, but it was actually a phone tree so there was no one there to thank really." I said. "I feel ripped off. He was so nice, he deserved a thank you!"
Husband gave me that "look", shook his head, took the paper and went to another room.
Me, I just stared at the phone hoping Mr Eptvom was going to have a good day.
Footnote: They came within the hour and Joe the repairman was possibly the nicest man in Brisbane today, except for Mr Eptvom and my husband of course!

Before you try a 3rd party app, try opening your .pdf in Word, it may or may not work:

It depends how the PDF was created. One created from a text document, such as a Word doc, and isn't copy protected often can be just copied and pasted. Image only PDFs, such as made from scans, require OCR to convert to a Word doc and will probably require considerable editing.

Right in the heart of Clapham Old Town, just off Clapham Common, near the cinema on Venn Street sits the appropriately named Venn St. Records bar. First off, it looks stunning. The exposed brickwork with tea light candles in the missing brick cavities makes for a cool, yet inviting space. The rows of old, classic vinyls on the wall, old music publications printed onto some of the walls like wallpaper complement the stage for live music and complete the cool look. The chairs are soft and comfortable and makes for a relaxing place to be. Homely but with a touch of live gig about it.
Second, their cocktails are great and the beer menu has one or two very strong choices on it including Goose Island IPA, but realistically their main focus is on epic cocktails. The staff are wonderfully friendly and helpful and even offered my wife (who was 7 months pregnant) a free virgin cocktail as "pregnant people drink free at Venn Street Records" apparently. Even if this was a one off, it was a lovely, endearing touch that definitely helped create a lovely warm up to an evening.
I haven't stayed there into the evening yet, but their music roster and music playlists are strong and I'm sure that you could easily spend hours in there. I look forward to doing so!
"Venn St. Records is a small, neighbourhood bar tucked away from the busy Clapham High Street specialising in great drinks and Live Music. We offer great service with a relaxed vibe, plenty of offers and no pretentious bullshittery. Check out our listings for all the gig info here or alternatively have a chinwag with a member of staff. They're all very nice. If you'd like to make a reservation then please complete the online reservations form here. Lastly, if you've never been and want to get a feel for the place then please feel free to take our glorious panoramic tour. It really is the shit." (Venn St. Records)
