The National Bible Week has been celebrated during the week of Thanksgiving every year since 1941. The goal is to raise awareness of the Bible's importance and relevance to the American nation as a whole, as well as in the lives of individuals. The first day of the week – Monday, November 21 – has been designated as the National Day of the Bible.
Reading the Bible publicly has its roots in the Word of God, in which we read that the people of Israel gathered to hear their leaders read Scripture.

"… many of you will read a novel from beginning to end, and what have you got? A mouthful of froth when you have done. But you cannot read the Bible; that solid, lasting, substantial, and satisfying food goes uneaten, locked up in the cupboard of neglect, while anything that man writes, a catch of the day, is greedily devoured. …
I bring the broad charge against you. Perhaps ye say, I ought not to charge you with any such thing. I always think it better to have a worse opinion of you than too good an one. I charge you with this: you do not read your Bibles. Some of you never have read it through. I know I speak what your heart must say is honest truth. You are not Bible readers. You say you have the Bible in your houses; do I think you are such heathens as not to have a Bible? But when did you read it last? How do you know that your spectacles, which you have lost, have not been there for the last three years?"
from the sermon "The Bible" by C.H. Spurgeon
… many people are fond of an intricate worship – an involved religion – one they can hardly understand. They cannot endure worship so simple as ours. Then they must have a man dressed in white, and a man dressed in black; then they must have what they call an altar and a chancel. After a little while that will not suffice, and they must have flowerpots and candles. The clergyman then becomes a priest, and he must have a variegated dress, with a cross on it. So it goes on; what is simply a plate becomes a paten, and what was once a cup becomes a chalice; and the more complicated the ceremonies are, the better they like them. They like their minister to stand like a superior being. The world likes a religion they cannot comprehend! But have you never noticed how gloriously simple the Bible is? It will not have any of your nonsense, it speaks plain, and nothing but plain things. "Look!" There is not an unconverted man who likes this "Look unto Christ, and be ye saved."
from the sermon "Sovereignty and Salvation" by C.H. Spurgeon

"The Christian man, though not called to the post of danger in witnessing publicly of the grace of God, is destined in his measure to testify concerning Jesus, and in his proper sphere and place, to be a burning and a shining light. He may not have the cares of a Church, but he hath far more, the cares of business: he is mixed up with the world; he is compelled to associate with the ungodly. To a great degree, he must, at least six days in the week, walk in an atmosphere uncongenial with his nature: he is compelled to hear words which will never provoke him to love and good works, and to behold actions whose example is obnoxious. He is exposed to temptations of every sort and size, for this is the lot of the followers of the Lamb.
Your life is one continued scene of warfare, both without and within; perhaps even now you are crying with the apostle, "O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?" A Christian's career is always fighting, never ceasing; always ploughing the stormy sea, and never resting till he reaches the port of glory. If my God shall preserve you, as preserve you he must, or else you are not his; if he shall keep you, as keep you he will if you have committed your souls to his faithful guardianship, what an honor awaits you!"

The word of God is true! Wherever you look, you can see God's goodness manifested in and through His creation. He provides the sunlight and the rain for righteous and wicked alike; the peace and restfulness of the night falls upon all people.
This week Illya and I, Oksana, have an amazing blessing to enjoy the goodness of our Creator while taking our long-overdue vacation. We have been blessed to visit the island of Kauai in Hawaii. Today is our third day here, and we are in awe of the beauty God has created!

Please Don't Sing Awesome
Singing in the rain is acceptable, singing awesome isn't!
There are a bunch of television commercials where women are singing "awesome." The one that sticks out is the mom in the Ford Escape that traded her Honda for a Ford and sings AWESOME then laughs. Another is the Discover Card twins and she sings AWESOME SAUCE. Oh Lord, according to Top 10 Words That Need To Die Immediately: AWESOME is number 8.
The Urban Dictionary says AWESOME SAUCE: Something that is more awesome than awesome. OMG the spell check even corrected the spelling and spacing. It's taken over.
Please bring back Groovy and Far Out. Advertising agencies must be creating these commercials right out of the urban dictionary, trying way to hard to be cool.

Scraping together enough coin to win the annual luncheon auction with Warren Buffett is probably beyond most investors' means. With the proceeds going to charity, this year's winning bidder forked over $2.63 million for the privilege.
Feast or famine
While we likely can't afford to break bread with the greats, we can peek at their stock ideas through their SEC filings. Here, we'll pore over some of the top investors' reports to see which stocks they've chosen as their best investments. We'll then check in with Motley Fool CAPS members to learn whether they agree.
First, a few caveats ...
- There's a delay between when the stocks were bought and when these investors filed their paperwork, so they might have sold out since.
- These legends may be hot investors now, but that can change in an instant. Bill Miller was a wunderkind after beating the market 15 years in a row. Then he went cold for three. He came back in 2009, but we don't know what 2010 will bring.
Contrary to popular opinion
So, do further research, but in the meantime, let's take a look again at famed "trade of the century" investor John Paulson, whose Paulson & Co. bet big against the housing market and won; earlier this year, it was questioned in the Goldman Sachs fraud scandal. We looked at his trades back in May; let's see where he has gone since then.
Company: Paulson & Co.
No. of Stocks Owned: 80
Top 5 Holdings: Anadarko Petroleum
, Hewitt Associates, NBTY, McAfee, Bank of America (NYSE: APC)
Top Sectors: Financials, basic materials
Like a number of the investing legends we've looked at, Paulson has a fairly diversified portfolio. But it's notable that while investing in the financial sector like many of his counterparts, he also remains heavily invested in oil. Despite selling out completely from ExxonMobil

Brocade Communications
Source: GuruFocus and Motley Fool CAPS.
Price is what you pay
With IBM not immediately moving to acquire Brocade Communications, as heard in rumors, investors had to look to Brocade's earnings report to sustain the momentum. But like Cisco before it, Brocade has found business's appetite for equipment unappealing; revenues for the latest quarter were below what analysts were anticipating for the company, which makes switches for data storage equipment.
While demand is slack, it isn't nonexistent, and CAPS member wil3714 finds Brocade's share price attractive.
SANs, servers need to be managed & spending for disaster recovery, security, & maintenance of servers wont go away even in a recession.... companies need [their] data managed & paperless files are going electronic, storage is the future
Surprisingly, though, PotashCorp has been able to maintain its lofty stock price despite BHP Billiton
Let us know in the comments section below or on the PotashCorp CAPS page whether you believe the stock is worth the premium.
I'll drink to that
You'd almost think Paulson had an inside track on takeover bids; he has made a big investment in Genzyme, yet another acquisition target. sanofi-aventis
With Sanofi suggesting its offer is already "compelling," you can keep an eye on the melodrama by adding Genzyme into Fool.com's free portfolio tracker and have all the Foolish news and analysis compiled in one place.

What constitutes friendship? How do you define and filter people in your life? Close friends, good friends, friends, acquaintance, pain in the ass but with a good heart? Who are the people in your life who inspire you, or are aspiring to you? Longevity wise, how far back does your oldest friend go?
I've been thinking a lot about friendship the past few days. I've been thinking about how I haven't felt "loved" as much as I used to, so I started to examine my friendships, what has changed? Some are just enmeshed in their own lives, location can also be a factor, you just can't pick up the phone and say "Hey, frozen custard?" Or show up, unshowered, in your crap clothes wanting to connect with someone. Life can be insanely busy. I remember Jim's Nana saying something one day, probably 15 years ago now, that "You young people don't ever sit, you are always on the go, far too busy to just sit in quiet and enjoy your surroundings". Or something close to that.
Age, maturity has taught me the difference between consciously sitting by oneself, quiet, taking in all that surrounds me, and laying on the couch, one sock on, one sock off, hair up in a ponytail affixed to the couch like a cushion. I call the first "participating, being conscious", I call the second relaxation, but as with anything, the pendulum swings both ways, the flip side of that becomes laziness, self loathing.
Have you ever thought about something you really like about a person? Perhaps that they are fun, carefree, enjoyable to be with because of this? I'd much prefer to hang with people like this than a human jack-in-the-box waiting to spring out of its skin. Okay, let's look at the black or white, the left or right of the pendulum…. Fun, carefree…. the extreme becomes irresponsibility, non committal. We know that the art of life is to find balance. Balance with our characteristics, our behavior, our relationships, our time….and so much more. I have very good balance with some things in my life, and are severely off balance in others. Add to that, sometimes what I am severely off balance in today was balanced for years, decades. Ying, Yang.
As a child, discipline teaches us right from wrong, acceptable and unacceptable. The temper tantrums that I see children having in stores today, the parents who are "bargaining" with them to behave always amaze me. There is NO WAY I would have acted that way in a store, not without consequences. This is not to imply I think the earlier are poor parents. I have never had children, I only married them, so who am I to say what is right or wrong, but I can surely appreciate the difference.
Acceptance, for me, is the key to serenity, to happiness, to peace. If I am not peaceful, frolicking around in dissention, depression, sadness, then something in my life is out of balance. This almost always proves, for me, to be something in my life that I have yet to accept. As stated earlier, these can change, without our knowledge, unconscious things that have triggered something, something that instills negative. Some things I have accepted years ago comes back around to chew a hole, deflate my peace. Does this mean I really never accepted it in the first place? Who knows, I don't think so, and most importantly who cares? I have spent so much time reverting to my past. I believe that history repeats itself if you don't recognize it. I also know that I have lost valuable precious time living in the past.
Grief, grief sucks. We are told that "time heals all wounds". I don't really believe that. I believe that time teaches us how to coexist with our wounds, our losses, but it doesn't heal. If healing is true with others, I think that is awesome, tell me how you accomplished this? Tell me how much time it took to heal your broken heart? Clearly my acceptance, my reaction to the loss of my kid sister is much more balanced now, years later, than when it first happened. I share a lot about loss, because that is a weight I carry daily. I have had a lot of loss. I am trying to lighten the load, to cast the weights into the lagoon of the past and fly over the hills and trees of this difficult place, this vortex, and get beyond, to new, to acceptance.
I want to go back to my not feeling "loved" as much as I used to. Ironically, after much deliberation, I realize, it has nothing to do with my family, friends (close, good, friends, et all) but how I feel about myself. I am not happy with myself. What is it I am not happy with? Well, there is a list, not a very long list, but a list of things that I am upset with myself about, one or two which actually promote self loathing. This can throw a wet blanket over my self worth, self esteem, self confidence. I can pick up any self help book, I can go to therapy, but unless I am doing the work, it's lost time. Perhaps pieces of what I am learning today will help me a year or two down the road, but if I am not doing the work, if I am not consciously trying to correct, to find balance to whatever it is in my life that is causing me imbalance then I will never experience long term self worth, love, peace.
I tend to be a black or white thinker, to my detriment. If I owe a bill that I cannot pay, I don't pay it unless I have it all. Um, this doesn't work! Or, unless I can achieve and correct whatever it is bothering me, quickly, then, I accept and roll in crap, a couple times, to reassure myself that this part of my life sucks and will always suck. But that is an example of my thinking, my thinking that I am trying very hard to change. As stated above, if there is something in my life that I having accepted, there will be no peace.
Throughout my life I tried to find happiness in many places. Laughing as I think about Garth Brooks "I have friends in low places" even though that isn't what I am referring to. If I was feeling low, not liking myself, the attention of the opposite sex could and would make me feel better. I'm not talking about sex, I'm talking about approval, kudos from others. This escalating when I was in a marriage with an emotionally unavailable husband…shopping, spending… then this stopped working. Thankfully as we age we mature, we learn and have learned, we have the knowledge to make better decisions, make better choices for ourselves. Unfortunately this also comes with loss of bladder control, ability to read a newspaper unless you have on 2.75 readers, and a memory that resides in a colander!
Bottom line, through all of this. I have to be happy with myself. If I am looking to others for approval, if I am looking outside of myself for the answer, for acceptance, for happiness, it will only be a temporary fix. The only way to happiness is to choose it.
I am grateful that this evening I am feeling much better about myself than I was this morning. I gifted myself with a visit to a friend who has inspired me, encouraged me. Someone I consider to be a good friend.
I feel like this blog has been all over the place, with little correlation or flow, though I hope not. Remembering the words of my father the second time I went in-patient for depression. "You just have to pull yourself up by your boot straps". I cried, and cried. Why didn't he understand that I was doing my best? Did he think I haven't tried? Today I think about the extreme, the black of the white, the right or left of the pendulum "I care, I don't know how to help you, I can't do this for you, I'm frustrated, please get better, I love you!"
We are designed to be perfectly imperfect. My parents generation you didn't "air your dirty laundry in public", you just "keep going". The extreme of this is self preservation, perseverance.
Is there someone you are reacting negatively to what they are saying? Is it possible to look at the extreme, to see if there is perhaps a message there that the person is not able to convey via words? And not to leave this for last purposely, because it exists in my every day life, breathing, exhaling, movement, thoughts…. my spirituality. I just cannot live a full life or happy existence without God leading my way. I cannot live a full life or happy existence if I am not accepting myself as I am today. I don't have to "like" something to accept it.
Acceptance, for me, is the key to serenity, to happiness, to peace. If I am not peaceful, frolicking around in dissention, depression, sadness, then something in my life is out of balance.
The past few days as I rolled around in my crap, I was shown what it was I need to change about myself. It will not be done overnight, it will be achieved by stepping in that direction, the direction in which happiness lies for me, a little amount, a bit everyday. Some days will be sprints forward, others a step or two backwards, but I don't have to look at it as negative, I can look at it that it is just giving me a running start…

Are possums legal to own and sell in Texas? The wild ones here in this state? They are listed as a furbearing animal, but who buys or wants possum pelts? I can't find the answer anywhere! I've read all the crap from tge Texas parks and wildlife site on this and also Texas health department. Now possums don't carry rabbies like other animals do, so why wouldn't it be legal to own one especially since I live out in rural Texas on my own darn property? Please do not direct me back to tve Texas sites for they don't seem to truly have answer. Thanks a bunch.0 Like

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) - Treasury prices rallied Monday, sending yields lower, as investors bought up long-dated securities ahead of expectations the Federal Reserve could soon buy Treasurys, with another round of dismal economic news also supporting bids.
The benchmark 10-year Treasury notes rose 0.1%, sending yields TMUBMUSD10Y, -0.22% down 5 basis points to 2.53%. The 30-year bond rallied 0.9%, sending yields 6 basis points lower to 2.99%.
"The Fed has almost preannounced it will turn its attention to the long end of the market," said Kevin Giddis, head of fixed income sales, trading and research at Morgan Keegan. "There's a little front buying on the idea that Fed will focus on the long end," he said.
On Tuesday, at the close of its monetary policy meeting, the Fed is expected to cut interest rates by 50 basis points, or a half-percentage point, to 0.5%. It is also likely to signal the next measures it will take to rejuvenate stalled lending markets.
Chairman Ben Bernanke has said the U.S. central bank may buy Treasury notes and bonds, a first since the early 1950s, to drive down rates. See full story on the Fed's next moves. The thinking is, "If you buy today, you may be along for a good ride," Giddis said.
Shorter-term maturities also rallied, weighing on yields. The two-year Treasury yield TMUBMUSD02Y, -0.45% which often tracks with forecasts for the fed funds rate, fell 4 basis points to 0.73%. Yields on one-month Treasurys lost 2 basis points to 0.0076%, staying close to 0%.
One basis point is 1/100th of a percentage point.
Treasurys on Monday also benefited from investors' appetite for safe-haven assets after reports emerged of widespread investment losses from the alleged Ponzi scheme run by Bernard Madoff. Spain's Banco Santander STD, +0.53% said its customers had an exposure of around $3.1 billion, while Japan's Nomura NMR, +3.32% has an exposure of around $302 million. Read more on Madoff.
Nervousness about a deepening global recession and more shocks to the U.S. financial system drove investor inflows to U.S. Treasurys in October, a new report showed. The U.S. Treasury said net foreign purchases of U.S. securities reached a record high of $286.3 billion that month as foreign investors bought Treasurys - particularly T-bills - and sold debt issued by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and other government agencies. Read full story on foreign inflows.
Bad news supports bonds
In economic news, a survey of manufacturing showed activity falling at a record pace in the New York region. Read more on Empire State survey.
Separately, the Federal Reserve said U.S. industrial output fell 0.6% in November on broad-based weakness across manufacturing industries.
"The report suggests that conditions in the industrial sector remain dire, in line with weak personal consumption and shrinking business investment," said Anna Piretti, an economist at BNP Paribas. Read more on industrial production.
And the National Association of Home Builders stayed at a record low in December, showing that fewer than 1 in 10 builders believes the market is good. Read report on homebuilders' index.
"The index hit a record low in November, suggesting that, other than the sales agents, the only signs of life in model homes were the potted plants," said Sal Guatieri, economist at BMO Capital Markets, in a note made public before the release.
Stocks fell, with financials weighing on the broader market. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +0.64% lost 112 points, or 1.4%, to about 8,519 points.

I'm very friendly, caring and enthusiastic nature and a genuine passion working with children all I want from you is to do your best. Are you fed-up with living ? please don't hear and listen I wan you to be facing on to know how a special creature of God you are. I want you to know you're loved God made you in His image and likeness. God has a very great purpose and plan for your existence.
My approach to teaching focusses on engaging students with the material at hand, and hopefully exciting them about the subject. I try to teach not only course material but also to encourage students to develop thought patterns. Students are undertaking their own learning, while I am present to guide and facilitate their journey.
As everyone is different I can work with an individual or group to create a program/workshop that suits your needs.
Do you wake up feeling tired? Do you compromise on your desires because you don't have the energy to achieve them? Do you feel exhausted and unable to contribute to your family life? I work with clients over a minimum of 3 months.
I use a variety of teaching methods including discussion, demonstrations, role plays and experiential learning depending on your requirements. Lessons/coaching are based on the outcomes you want to achieve to gain the knowledge and experience you seek. Topics vary again according to your outcomes and goals.
Participants are made to go through experiential learning. Because experience is the best way to learn effortlessly. Study material is also provided as and when needed and relevant. Various types of exercise are created using scientific methods to ensure deeper and stronger learning.
I will personalise programs to suits the needs of the client. I have experience across both the primary and secondary sectors and am happy to work individually with students, or with families, and as required liaise with schools. Advice and consultation on school related difficulties can be provided.
My teaching method starts with identifying the real issue to maximise the investment made. It is STRICTLY INDIVIDUAL with every student in order to benefit them. I am very careful, straight forward and my lessons are not to give students a theory a let them go. My main goal is for them to unleash their knowledge and work it with me during the lesson.
My methodology for teaching is being able to relate to the experiences I teach about. I was 16 years old when I was led into organised crime. There is many things I can teach about making unhealthy emotional decisions, or letting ourselves being mislead when we are younger by the wrong people.
This is a program for students that get anxious about study or freak out in exams and get results that they know aren't their best. I get it, I've been there, it sucks. Here you'll find easy to implement techniques, life-changing mindset sessions, supercharged affirmations and highly effective guided meditations.
I will give the basic instructions, as well as how I personally do the task. I do not expect you to copy what I do exactly, as everyone has different methods. I will first discuss where you feel you have trouble as an adult, and then I will lead you through the process of what you need.
My Teaching method is online, with giving examples and have you give practical examples as well. So I will ask you to give me a short speech and then i will help you edit it, and how to deliver it.
My lessons are geared to self-motivated learners. I prefer a collaborative approach using demonstration, discussion, exploration and role plays. Handouts and creative activities are used for teaching interpersonal and life skills. Each lesson is tailored to the student's desired goal for learning.
I offer lessons catered to towards promoting positive life changes through a combination of mindset and natural nutrition. Previously in my personal life i have struggled through anxiety holding me back from my health & career potential, so enjoy taking on clients that are looking for personal development in these areas.
I base my classes on the degree that I earned, as well as my personal experiences. I approach my topic in a gentle and student-friendly way, where there is no pressure towards the student, and the student as the freedom to air out suggestions and questions as well.
My one on one teaching method will empower you to balance your own chakra's and energy fields, be wise and calm as a Zen Monk but loving, powerful and grounded. Based on the teaching's of Belinda Davidson, you will learn to tap into your intuition, make the right decisions in life and feel connected and grounded towards everything and everyone around you.
My methodology is flexible since it is tailored to the student's goals.
The secret of my sessions is to follow " whole brain approach" for overall wellbeing of an individual or a group. I hold post graduate diploma in counselling and family therapy. Presently pursuing master of counselling at Excelsia college, Sydney. I can help you fight anxiety, stress, phobias etc. Know your inner peace mindfully. I can help you find your traits, strengths etc.
How was your day mate?? Good/ ok/ fine?... What's your dream? A lambo or million dollars? Happy family? Remember, Anything you are dreaming of can be accomplished in this physical world. Just you need to do is learn to breath first. Start to pay enough attention. Start creating a balance within. Observe yourself, your sorroundings, your friends, families,pets..
I am good in student guidance. I come from higher education and have a master communication management. I help students to turn in their strengths and help them with their presentation skills, planning and organisation of work tasks, personal coaching and thinking in possibilities and positivity. My teaching method is knowledge sharing. Students can help each other with their skills and knowledge.
I work with parents and their child to find the best way to maximise their child's learning. I help parents to recognise how to best prepare their children to become life long learners. With consistent but easy steps, parents can assist their child to develop the habits that will assist them in the classroom.
I base my classes on yourself. Every situation is unique, and my methods will be different with every person. Life coaching is not giving knowledge, that is all about development of your inner capabilities. So, speak about life, make the plan, and stick to the plan.
My approach is to focus on my clients strengths, I am forward focused in helping clients resolving their problems through identifying current limiting beliefs and shifting them to beliefs that serve. I use NLP and have practice in several methodologies.
I mainly use to teach on the concepts on controlling the subconscious mind where a student should feel that the whole world is his family and making his presence everywhere and he/she should be proactive in their daily lives at very tender age.
I am a Life Coach who works with individuals, executives, business owners and students to; gain clarity, motivation, understand what holds them back from achieving their goals and create a plan to achieve, increase self-awareness and provide encouragement and support.

When was the last time you thought about the radiator cap on your cars cooling system? It took a few years of working with machines for me to appreciate what was going on with that simple device. On the surface, it would seem that a radiator cap is indeed a simple device to keep the coolant in, but on closer inspection it becomes a complex regulator of pressure and temperature required for proper engine operation. It took automotive engineers many iterations and many years of R&D to come up with the system we take for granted today.
The radiator cap is responsible for venting excess pressurized coolant out to the reservoir to prevent an over-pressure or overheat situation while maintaining internal cooling system pressure to prevent boiling and allow the automatic refill of the system when cooldown occurs. These three seemingly separate functions are performed perfectly now by one device.
On most radiator caps, there are two rubber seals, an upper and lower seal. The smaller, lower seal is spring loaded to keep pressure on the coolant in the system as it warms up and expands, while the upper seal is the actual seal out to atmosphere. Between the two sealing areas on the radiator is a port for a small hose connection to the coolant reservoir tank. A tiny metal flap at the very bottom of the cap prevents coolant escape when hot, but allows coolant to flow back in from the reservoir to keep the system full as the engine cools after shutdown.
As things heat up, they expand. There are a few exceptions to the rule, but for most materials, heating causes expansion, and the corollary is true as well- as they cool, they shrink or contract The engine and coolant in your vehicle is no different- as the engine warms, the metal and coolant expand and thus increase the pressure inside the cooling system. The temperature increase in a contained system would drive the pressure higher and higher until explosive release occurred by breaking stuff. Having a pressure relief valve on any system that changes temperature or pressure is mandatory for that reason. Preventing hot steam and water explosions is always a bonus... or so I hear.
As the coolant heats up inside the engine, the pressure inside the cooling system increases- K we got that part. Some pressure is needed to keep the water from boiling inside the engine- just like using a pressure cooker allows the water temperature to go above boiling point without becoming steam. Keeping water under pressure prevents it from boiling to steam even at well above the normal boiling temperature, so some increase is necessary. Here we have a challenge- keeping just enough pressure inside the engine to prevent spot boiling without allowing over pressure and damage.
Later, after the engine is shut off and is cooling down, the pressure drops inside the cooling system because of contraction. As soon as the pressure inside the cooling system falls below outside atmospheric pressure, that difference in pressure pushes coolant back out of the reservoir and into the engine making sure that the system is constantly being refilled at every cooldown cycle. This is generally phrased as: 'The cold engine sucks coolant back in'.
As you continue to read my articles, over and over again you'll find that I stick strictly to the laws of physics which state that there is no 'suck' only pressure difference which causes flow. It's air pressure outside the system trying to balance with the lower pressure inside the cooling engine that pushes coolant back up the hose since that is the only path for the pressure to equalize through.
Any cracks in the rubber seals, failure of springs or jamming of the mechanism can cause catastrophic failure, or at least annoying overheat or coolant loss. Thus it makes sense, does it not, that the radiator cap should be inspected carefully every few months and replaced every 5 years or less- or whenever there is any physical damage or noted change in performance (ie- system never pressurizes, doesn't refill at night...). A 'simple' $8 radiator cap is responsible for your entire engine. Don't neglect it.
Til Friday, take care of those machines, they'll take care of you.

First, let me say that I'm okay.
Now, here's the story...
It was Saturday morning. After spending a few wonderful days in Puebla I was planning to visit a small town about 20KM from Puebla called Cholula. I had made contact with a Peace Corps Volunteer named Jan that had agreed to be interviewed for my media project.
I packed up my things and headed out from the hotel. I had a map that would lead me to the site. I was traveling down the road following traffic. The bus in front of me suddenly decided to move from the right lane, the lane that we were in, to the left lane. I quickly found out why. In the middle of the road was a taxi at a complete stop. I tried to slow down then swerve to miss it. I was able to avoid a direct hit, but I clipped my lower leg on the bumper.
The bike and I went down.
Thankfully, the traffic behind me stopped.
My first reaction... I was pissed. Why was this taxi stopped in the middle of the road. My second reaction... I humbled myself. I realized that I was in Mexico and needed to collect myself and assess the situation. I've lived in and traveled through many countries before. When doing so, I'm always aware that I'm just a visitor and must play by their rules/laws. I knew that I'd have some explaining to do. I quickly realized that I needed to move my bike and get off the road. Before this could even happened there were two traffic police officers on the spot. They told me not to move the bike, they wanted to take some pictures. And, they asked me if I was okay.
Oh yeah, I think that the adrenaline was pumping through me. I hadn't even really stopped to make sure that I was okay. I walked to the side of the road and did a quick body check. Everything seemed to be okay, except that I had some scrapes on my leg and it felt a little numb. I could walk okay. I've always had a pretty high tolerance for pain though. I was riding ATGATT (All The Gear All The Time). A motorcycle acronym that means helmet, jacket, pants, boots and gloves all designed for motorcycle riding. All the gear held up and wasn't even scraped. After a few minutes and a complete body check I felt like I was okay to sort out the mess.
The police had already taken their photos and had picked up Emi, my bike, and moved her to the sidewalk. The taxi driver was out of his car and had looked at the damage to his car. The police officer asked me for my drivers license and insurance. I had both. I provided him the International Driving Permit that I had purchased from AAA in the states because it contains translations in Spanish. I provided him a copy of my Mexican insurance that I bought online from www.mexisurance.com and underwritten by Qualitas. As soon as the officer realized that I had my paperwork in order he was quite helpful. He pointed to the Qualitas logo and said "no problema". I was thankful that I had purchased it and that it was from a reputable and known company. I'd heard that auto insurance was not required in Mexico, but if you do have an accident and you don't have it, you might spend some time in a Mexican jail for a few days.
The police officer filled out some forms. I started talking to the taxi driver. He pointed out two spots that he felt I damaged. I wasn't going to admit to anything, but I was pretty sure that one of the spots was from a previous accident and not caused by me. Anyways, the officer said that we could all go to his office and work this out with the insurance. It would take about 45 minutes. My first thought was, I don't really want to go to a police office. My second thought was, I want to take care of this as soon as possible and get going. I overheard the taxi driver say something about "en effectivo" to the officer. "En effectivo" translates to "in cash". The officer turned to me and said that we could either go to his office or this could be handled "en effectivo". I said, "Cuanto seria (How much)?" The taxi driver said, "Quinientos Pesos (Five hundred pesos)." I did a quick calculation and 500 pesos is about 40 US dollars. I said, give me a minute and let me see. I didn't really need a minute. I knew that I wanted to settle this now and in cash. I walked away a little distance and searched through my wallet to find the cash. I returned and said, "esta bien (okay)".
The police said okay, then we will not need all your paperwork. He gave it back to me. He did ask me to sign their report and write on the report that I agreed to pay the sum of 500 pesos for the damage that I caused. I signed. I handed over the money. And the taxi driver looked like he had just won the lottery.
The police officers asked me where I was going. I told him. He said that he would show me the way. I was a little skeptical, but hey, I'm a law obeying non-citizen. He drove a little distance then pulled over to the side. He got out of this car and then gave me some directions. The last thing that he said was, "Bienvenidos a Mejico (Welcome to Mexico)". I actually found some humor in it and laughed to myself. Yes, welcome to Mexico... the adventure begins...for real, now.
Day 2 in Cholula - ate day old leftover pizza, watched tv, caught up on blog, read ADVRider posts, sent emails, checked Facebook, layed on couch with leg elevated.
Day 3 in Cholula - went outside of hotel, walked around plaza, ate a decent meal, layed on couch with leg elevated. Rescheduled appointment with Jan the Peace Corps Volunteer.
Day 4 in Cholula - watched tv, watched YouTube, ate a good meal of pozole.
Day 5 in Cholula - rest and recovery, writing post.
After reflecting on this experience I've come to a few conclusions.
1. God was watching out for me. Yes, I'm a believer. And, I believe that he saved me. The accident could have turned out much worse. I could have hit the car directly. I could have hit the street much harder. I could have been hit by the traffic behind me. I could have injured my leg much worse. I've had a number of people praying for me back home and I believe that prayer works. God is amazing. He has a plan for my life. For some reason, He kept me alive to live out that plan. If you're a none believer, that's fine. But if you knew the God that I know, you'd know that he is pretty awesome.
2. I made a few judgement errors. I was in a bit of hurry to make an appointment, when I should have been taking my time. However, I wasn't speeding. I was navigating with a map, when I should have studied the map more thoroughly ahead of time to familiarize myself with the route. I had a space cushion, but could have created a larger cushion. What typically causes an accident is a series of events. I believe that these were the series of events that led up to the accident. Hopefully I've learned my lesson, I'll be mindful of these series of events and prevent them from happening again.
Gaerne G Adventure boots were the last item that I purchased before I left on my trip. I believe that they saved my leg from a much more serious injury. The Olympia jacket and pants held up well. They didn't even have any scrapes on them. Also, I'm using soft luggage on my bike, a Giant Loop Great Basin Bag. The bag made contact with the ground, but barely had a scrape. I think that it may have even prevented damage to Emi. Good stuff.
4. The locals were great. The two police officers were very professional. First, they asked me if I was okay. They helped me move my bike. They helped facilitate the settlement. And they even provided me directions. I'm wondering if they will share those photos with me. I didn't take any. They'd be great to add to the blog. There was a bystander that stopped and asked if I needed a translator. There was a shop keeper that came out and made sure that the police were being helpful. I must say, that even the taxi driver was pretty understanding. Thanks, good people of Puebla, Mexico!
5. Up until now, everything had gone smoothly. The boarder crossing was easy. The towns and sites were fantastic. The rides were amazing. The lodging was great. I'd been taking some chances with some food, but even that wasn't causing any problems. I've always told myself and others that trips that go according to plan are rarely memorable. When I've taken an organized trip like a cruise, I usually can't even remember what I did the week after it is over. No, adventure is unpredictable, sometimes dangerous, sometimes bad things happen... but it's always memorable... and worth it. You just have to work your way through it... and live to tell the tale.
Now I'm taking a little time to relax, recover and reflect. My leg is better, but not totally healed. I do have health insurance so I may have my leg checked out if it isn't better in another day.
I just wanted to let ya'll know that I'm okay... and that the adventure will continue.
If you have any thoughts, post me a comment or send me an Email.
...When The Road Ends. Life off the beaten path - traveling, hiking, photographing and simple living.

What Are You Saying?
You see it all the time, adverts or messaging online and via traditional media for free websites for your business. And while some of them certainly may be a great deal, I've found myself wondering if businesses that are actually using such gimmicky services are really getting anything out of it? Back in the mid sixties, philosopher and communications theorist Marshall McLuhan penned the phrase "the medium is the message". And if your medium of contact to your customer base is a cookie-cutter template of a website using mediocre stock images to visualize your message, are you really saying anything important about your company?
See Also: 3 Things Your Web Developer Should Be Telling You About SEO
You Know It's Important
Your business is certainly important to you – the services or products you provide your customers are how your company grows and improves not just your bottom line, but your entire brand. Your message is a big part of your brand, and it has to communicate to your client not only textually in the form of the data you show them, but visually as well. The imagery used to enhance your message plays a big part in how it is perceived by your audience. So while stock images may have some use in certain circumstances, when you're focusing your message on the core points of what you're trying to communicate to your customers, the visual components you're using should be as specific to your business as possible. If you're selling a great new innovative shovel, show your actual product, not just line-based clip art of a generic shovel.
You Get What You Pay For
As a developer I tend to spend most of my time immersed in code, sorting out the nuts and bolts of how a website has to work to bring our client's message to their customers. But by that time in our development process, our team has already dug deep with the client to ensure that the visual side of things is not just supporting, but elevating the message and goals of the client. And to me, that's a significant difference from a "free website" that you've put no real thought or effort into. Grabbing a template out of a box and slapping on some stock photos doesn't do your business much good. And just as you've surely invested time and effort into your products and customers, and seen the benefits from doing so, a similar investment with a marketing partner can help to create a website that will bring additional benefits down the road!

Council Chamber
Best Hunters:-All
Items:-All Weapons,Missiles
Size:- Large
[edit] Map Details
This map is an enlarged version of Alinos Perch. Please note that it holds every weapon (no affinity pickups), one gold health orb, and three blue orbs (four present in a four player match).
Council chamber Guide: Well I'm not one for making sand castles, however this level can become your personal owning ground with a few simply tactics and moves, the characters I suggest for this are Sylux and Trace, his quick motion of speed plus the tripwires makes traps a load of fun, or as the enemy would say, "a load of annoying crap" and the Triskelion is good for hiding and escaping making things fun but irritating for the enemy.
Setting your Trap: Well who can say traps aren't fun, the best way to form your nasty trap is to find a place where the enemy will not see it coming in time for him to dodge the trap, a hallway or behind a kinetic barrier would be the prime place to set the electrical trip wire, for this to work patience is key, once you have placed your trip wire sit behind it and be ready to blast his ass with missiles the moment the wire hits him, a good four or five missiles plus the wire should be enough to send him packing, if your enemy happens to see it coming simply go into alt and trap him in the fatal blow with the triple bomb.
The shock coil: If I had a dollar for every time I screamed because the shock coil wouldn't leave me alone I'd be a very rich man, this is possibly one of the most annoying weapons of metroid simply because it sticks to you (as long as your in range) simply hold the fire button down while following your opponent, this will sap his life force and replenish yours, handy of your running low and cant find health, this weapon is also Sylux's affinity weapon so never fear when you cant find the shock coil weapon, I suggest using this weapon for CQB moments only, it can become difficult to kill at distance and I would recommend the standard power beam and missiles for the hard to reach places, be warned, when facing an enemy Sylux with a shock coil, you will sap his life but he will also sap yours, normally the person with the most health always comes out on top so make sure your suited and booted before taking him on.
Fear the red mist Trace is also a prime hunter for this level, his Imperialist laser provides excellent advantage for this level, with a wide open space and some enemies running around with shiny helmets the chamber is your oyster, simply find a hiding place like a corner or a ledge no one goes near and wait, if you stand still long enough you will turn invisible, this gives you all the time you need to make the perfect shot, be careful though, not everyone is deceived by his active camo, and be aware of other Trace users for they may try the same tactic and try to top you before you top them, take time when taking a shot and don't rush, their is a three second delay for the recharge on the imperialist which is more then enough time the enemy needs to take you down, so make sure you have the shot first.
Yes you have crabs Trace has an alt form which is quite vicious and has easy travel, the Triskelion is a red crab that just loves to tear and shred flesh, very good at close combat this alt is effective for hit and runs and escapes, use his lunges well and be sure to find cover fast, when facing Samus i can only give one word of advice, run, don't try and fight because you will lose, its rare you will win an alt fight against Samus or Noxus, Kanden is a possibility but this alt was not made for attack purposes, it was made for travel and hiding, again if you stay still for long enough he will go invisible, so use this to get one over on the enemy by waiting for him to turn his back before lunging at him, quickly go to biped and give him a taste of your laser.

CentRio – basically means Cent (center/heart of the city referring to its location) and Rio (spanish for River). A beautiful soon to open huge building with everything on it right at the heart of Cagayan de Oro City the melting pot of Northern Mindanao. Aside from the most talked about Ayala Mall, the Centrio also will have a hotel and condominiums, the first of its kind in Cagayan de Oro. The bloggers of Northern Mindanao (Iligan, Bukidnon and Cagayan de Oro) is thankful for the opportunity to have a first glimpse of what's inside before the mall formally opens to the public on November 9, 2012. A big shoutout to the marketing team and staff of Centrio Ayala for granting the group's request to check out the place. Here's what's inside so far.
The Entrance fronting Gaisano Mall
The Activity Center
The first 3 floors of the building comprises the Ayala Mall
200-seat 2D Cinemas (3 cinemas) and a 300-seat 3D Cinema to serve CDO's movie goers
3rd Floor
The developer purposely left this tree unharmed. Restaurants and coffee shops will surround this area called the Centrio Garden. A perfect place to just relax and have fun with friends and loved ones while enjoying a meal
The ground floor will consist of the high end retail shops, food chains, bookstore and the Rustan's Fresh Supermarket, the very first in Mindanao. Second floor will have the family and kids zone, activities shop and the Robinsons Department Store while third floor will be for the movie goers, IT & wellness fans.
So now you know where to go, which floor will you be a frequent visitor and where to bring your kids. At least 80% of the establishments will open on November 9, 2012 (Friday). Celebrities will also come to grace the mall's opening on Nov. 9 and 10. If you are a fan of Anne Curtis, you better be at the mall on the 10th!
ChadaCDO will feature some of the merchants here soon, so you just stick around! We are looking into giving out freebies also for you dear readers and friends. By the way, here's a video taken by our fellow blogger Grace during the group's tour.

After much deliberation and contrary to some internet gossip we at booost are proud to announce that we will be exhibiting this year at the Bodypower expo. After the rousing success of last year's exhibition will be back on a bigger stand, with a new look design so there is no chance you'll miss us.
Where can you find us?
Our bigger stand this year has seen us relocate to another area of the arena. We will be at stand number J80. That's smack in the middle of the entrances to halls 10 and 11, in between the Olympic Weightlifting Area and the Super Theatre.
Anyone I'll know?
Last year you could always rely on the booost stand to have a plethora of serious elite athletes around it and this year will be no different.
On Friday will be joined by, amongst others Bodybuilder Ben Callery and Strongman Rhodri 'Supersize' Cartwright.
On Saturday we'll be joined by World Champion Muay Thai fighter Iman Barlow, rising star of Strongman Graham Hicks, and 2013 IFBB Bodypower overall Champion Neale Cranwell.
And on Sunday we've got professional personal trainer Michael Woods, IFBB Pro and heaviest female bodybuilder in the UK Rene Campbell and professional bodybuilder and long-time friend of booost, Mick Miller.
In the spirit of wonder we have left out quite a few from this list including the big man himself, 2013 UK Strongest Man Eddie Hall. You'll just have to keep your eyes peeled.
Over the weekend
If you're at Bodypower this year please do come and say hi to the guys on the booost stand. We've got our hands on some great prizes for the daily competitions we'll be running and there are even rumours of a burpee challenge.
We hope to see you at Bodypower over 16th-18th May, and even if you can't make it we'll be uploading our own videos and pictures across the whole weekend on our Facebook and Twitter pages.

Berlin is a 1973 album by Lou Reed, his third solo album and the follow-up to Transformer. In 2003, the album was ranked number 344 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time, though the publication had called the album a "disaster" 30 years prior.
The album is a tragic rock opera about a doomed couple, and addresses themes of drug use and depression.
Musically, Berlin differs greatly from the bulk of Reed's work, due to the use of heavy orchestral arrangements, horns, and top session musicians. Instrumentally, Reed himself only contributes acoustic guitar.
"The Kids" tells of Caroline having her children taken from her by the authorities, and features the sounds of children shouting for their mother. UK group The Waterboys takes its name from a line in this song.
As with Reed's previous two studio albums, Berlin re-drafts several songs that had been written and recorded previously. The title track first appeared on Reed's solo debut album, only here it is lyrically simplified, the key changed, and re-arranged for piano. "Oh, Jim" makes use of the Velvet Underground outtake, "Oh, Gin". "Caroline Says (II)" is a rewrite of "Stephanie Says" from VU. The

There is a very popular show on cable television, I believe it is on A&E, called "Intervention". The show is an hour long per episode and is broken into two half hour segments. The first half features the addict in the addicted state ruining their lives and the lives of everyone around them. The family talks about how the addict uses around them, forces them to give money to procure their drug of choice, steals the family car, whatever.
Then, the intervention specialist comes in and arranges the intervention. They set up a meeting and bring in the addict, unsuspecting and bombard them with a massive guilt trip. They then force the addict into treatment. Usually at the end they do a follow up right after the addict has left treatment to say how good they are doing now. They don't show the addict in six months, a year or three years. I am willing to bet that the reason is that they are no longer clean.
Well, I am here to tell you that it doesn't work that way. First of all, they find the worst of the worst addicts. Most addicts I know do not steal their family's cars. I know one person who one time took his sister's car keys to cop and then brought the car back. I do know some people who have used a parent's or family member's spare car with permission. Secondly, on these shows (at least all the episodes that I have seen) the family members of the addicts are total enablers. They hand over money whenever the addict asks. They let the addict rule the house. Addicts are not monsters. Yes, the may do some bad shit now and then, but usually they love their family, they do not wish to burn the one bridge that has always been their for them. These people let the addicts rule the entire house, often the extended family as well. They then wonder why their child, spouse, whoever acts this way. It is human nature pure and simple. People bush the limits to see what they can get away with. I'm sorry, but these people are almost as much at fault as the addict.
Anyone who knows almost anything about me knows that I absolutely adore Courtney Love. I have read many interviews where she said that she ultimately felt that she was at fault for Kurt Cobain's suicide because she participated in and allowed an intervention to take place at their shared home. She said that they took an addicted, incredibly depressed man and made him feel ganged up upon. She explained that it was at this point that he refused treatment and would disappear into the Seattle underworld for days or weeks at a time. When at first he refused treatment she told him that he couldn't get high in the house. After the intervention back fired, she stated that she told him to ONLY do drugs in the houses he got out of control. She said that the intervention lead to his suicide. She is of course taking the blame for something that is ultimately not her fault, but she is right.
I personally, have never had an intervention pulled on me, but my husband has. It was before we were together, shortly after his family found out about his heroin use. He was able to hide it for a few years, going to work every day, mail ting relationships, having money etc. his girlfriend at the time would steal hiss mom's ATM card while he was at work, get money, put the card back, go in town, get high, and be back before he got home. She played it off to him that she was going out boosting while he was at work, which since they did this together, would seem legit. One day his parents' card got declined for a purchase of a hundred dollars or so when they should have been thousands. Now they had been spending a lot, but they knew that they should not be broke. They called the police and the FBI got involved. They brought back pictures of my hubby's ex, and her friend at the ATM. They could press charges and get the money back or no charges, no money. The problem was that they were going to charge my husband as an accomplice. They didn't want him with the felony and a federal charge, so they kicked out the girlfriend and let it go. He did, however, have to come clean about why she would be stealing all of this money.
They were shocked to discover that he had been using for years. He came home from work one day to find his whole family waiting. Brothers, sister-in-laws, aunts, etc. I don't know how it works everywhere, but Maryland has a law that if a certain number of people stage an intervention and say that a person needs treatment, then that person has to go. They don't have to stay.
So, as the law required, my husband went into in-patient rehab. He stayed for a few days and then left AMA (against medical advice). When he left, his relationship with his family was shot, he move into an apartment in Baltimore where you can stay for $10 a night with a bunch of other addicts. His habit got way, way worse then it was. His relationship with his parents has now recovered, but not with all of his family.
We are both now clean and sober, but he didn't get clean due to the intervention. That is the kicker, you can not make an addict get clean. You can force them into treatment, but if they don't want it, really want it, they will relapse. This is why so many addicts on parole or probation that have months or years of back of time, go back to jail after submitting a dirty urine or because they failed to complete treatment. It doesn't matter how many logical reasons one has to do well or stay clean, they have to want it. They have to "hit rock bottom". Some addicts are far from the bottom. Some are functioning addicts.
Sadly, thanks to the A&E show and other media portrayals, friends and family of addicts have it in their head that they can stage an intervention and their addicted loved one will change their life forever. It is fiction. It is better to be patient with the addict. Show them love and support. Let them know that you care for them and that you love them regardless, but that you feel that they would be happier sober. Remind them of their life pre-drugs. Do not guilt trip them. At the end of the day, you can lead a horse to water, but you can't teach him to drink.
Intervention – Don't Believe The Hype

Holy fucking shit has life been amazing lately. The last week... two weeks? have felt like years... sleeping in the mountains, under the stars, 8-12 hours on the bike every day, drinking from springs and wells and eating a shit ton of ice cream from little dimly lit, disrepaired shops in villages in the middle of nowhere. I can't even write about it properly, it's so raw and full and unlike any other means of existence I can think of.
Three countries in two weeks (yes - it has been
two), and four more to go in the following two. The mind boggles; I
can't put it into linear letters following words following sentences.
Total opposites.
My legs are nearly recovered from a
mad dash up a mountain taken a few days ago. I tried to jog down, but it
proved too steep and too long and my legs gave up. Cycling was
possible, but walking was not, and even today I still need to support
myself when standing up or navigating steps. Somehow, this added to the
whole experience. There was nothing else I could do but ride, so that's
what I did.
Definitely not in the mood to write much
more at the moment. The sun has done its worst for the day, and I'd like
to get to the Hungarian border before too late. I will write more about
this leg of my bicycle travels later, when I've had the opportunity to
process a little.
Drum bun!

The three galleries maintained by the Capitol University Museum here probably hold the most extensive collection of the culture of the Maranao Muslims and indigenous communities in Central Mindanao.
The multimillion-peso museum, the newest of three maintained by universities here, has the Pasaka Maranao Gallery, a collection of brassware, weaponry, ceremonial crafts, jewelry and accessories and musical instruments; the Kasaysayan Gallery, described as a mixed and multi-disciplinary collection of historical and ethnological objects; and the Galerie Rawari, an art gallery.
The Pasaka Maranao Gallery houses the original collection of Laureana San Pedro Rosales during her "educational apostolate in Mindanao" when she built the network of capitol schools in 1951.
"That apostolate had served three distinct culture groups of Mindanao well: the Maranao of Marawi City; the migrant lowland cultures of Iligan City, Cagayan de Oro City and Bukidnon; and the indigenous peoples of Northern Mindanao," a museum flyer said.
The collection in the Maranao gallery includes textiles; artifacts of gold, silver and ivory; a diorama on the lost wax method of Maranao brassware fabrication known as the Cire-Perdue process; and heirlooms of Chinese blue and white wares from the Sung Dynasty.
Many of the artifacts came from the artisan village of Tugaya along Lake Lanao.
There is also a tableau scene of the enthronement of a Maranao sultan and the interior of a Maranao torogan, the sultan's royal house.
The collection "is the most extensive Maranao antiquities collection in the entire Mindanao," the flyer said.
Guests are cautioned against using flash when taking snapshots of the brasswares due to the light sensitivity of the brass, according to a curator.
The Kasaysayan Gallery houses "rare period photographs of Cagayan de Misamis and Northern Mindanao, dating back from the Hispanic era." The gallery has a collection of Chinese porcelain and pottery from Butuan City's archaeological sites.
It also displays pictures in sepia color of old streets and buildings, events and occasions, and includes a replica of an erupting Mount Hibok-Hibok of Camiguin Island. Near it is a picture of a circular mound in Manolo Fortich town of Bukidnon that the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology confirmed was a crater of a volcano that erupted in the prehistoric period.
The Galerie Rawari was taken from an ethnic name for a river that traverses the Matigsalog and Manobo communities in southern Bukidnon.
It is a section in the museum allotted to holding art exhibitions from artists outside the school.
Decius Esmedalla, city tourism senior operations officer, said the museum was constructed and maintained by the university.
Two other universities maintain their own museums, including Xavier University and Liceo de Cagayan.
Outside Cagayan de Oro City, the Marawi City campus of the state-owned Mindanao State University has its own Aga Khan Museum.

All Films.All Above Board.NOW INCLUDES TV SHOWS & TV LISTINGS
This harrowing film was produced in May 1945 at the personal insistence of US General Dwight D. Eisenhower. He was so shocked by what he witnessed with his own eyes at the first concentration camps to be liberated that he ordered that this film should be made as a lasting testament to the barbarism that had occurred under the Nazi regime. The film, which contains highly distressing scenes of the horrific suffering from the notorious camps at Arnsdat, Buchenwald, Nordhausen and Dachau, was used as primary evidence at the Nuremberg trials.

The decor is tacky with lots of cheaply made, heavy Balinese-style furniture and accessories. However, it has everything we need and is 1/2 block from the Gulf of Mexico. We are on the north end of the inhabited part of the island - about 3 km north of the bridge from Port Isabel. We are about 1km from the World Birding Center. The area looks more prosperous than we remembered last time we were here (2012).
On Thursday, we drove to the Aransas National Wildlife Refuge where the endangered whooping cranes nest. They make the annual trip north to Wood Buffalo National Park in northern Alberta. We plan to return in mid-February to do a whooping crane boat tour. During one of our stops on the self-guided automobile tour, we met two women from Texas who had driven all the way from San Antonio and Houston respectively to take the whooping crane boat tour only to be told that not enough people had signed up so it was cancelled. When they saw my flop flops they remarked that we must be from up north as one of the women had long underwear on. I told her I had quit wearing mine in Indiana. We spent the night in Corpus Christi.

Gulf Blvd. parallels the main street, Padre Blvd. and is more residential. This far up the island, it is pretty quiet at 10am on a Sunday. Yes, those are ample bike and walking lanes.
We are very grateful we have escaped yet another winter in southern Ontario.

So for the month of January my resolution was to put my phone away when in social situations. This resolution was HARD! It was particularly bad when whoever I was with was on their phone, and I was sat there like an addict in recovery thinking 'you can get through this, stay strong, you don't need the phone'.
I can't say hand on heart that I've stuck to this religiously. There are times when you just NEED the phone, whether it's to rant about celebrity big brother, or if something's kicking off in the group chat. I do feel however, as though it has done me a lot of good to put the phone down when I'm with people. It has made me more mindful of being in the moment with someone, rather than off in phone land.
Overall, I'm quite happy with my January resolution. It's been tough at times, but definitely worth doing. I'd recommend a month of phone isolation for those of you who are a bit addicted like me (only when you're around others, I'm not completely insane).
Now on to my February resolution! This may be something that you could try, depending on your job and if it's relevant to you. I work in a large business, specifically in procurement. I started at this job in September, and one thing that has been really difficult for me (other than finding the will to get out of bed in the morning to go to said job), is the vocabulary that is used in meetings, memos, etc. Sometimes it's like trying to decipher another language entirely. That's why my resolution for February is:
Develop my business vocabulary
(Wow, this looks really boring when you put it in writing)
I downloaded the app 'Business Dictionary' which is free on the app store. This app gives you a term of the day, so I plan to use this daily throughout February to try and develop my business vocabulary and sound like I know what I'm talking about at work.
Hopefully this is one that I can get into the habit of learning as I go along. If you work in an office or a business environment, then this could be really useful for you! Let me know if this is something that you would try. Alternatively, you could get a normal dictionary app, and still learn a word of the day. Is it just me that finds a strong and varied vocabulary a strangely attractive quality?
