First,when all his friends come to their home.John wondered what would happen if a man of the caves still alive today?.So your friends believe that writing a book and feel.after john said that the cave is and he could sail with cristobal colon.However they didn`t believe.
yes,when John said said importantly stages of history, he had 10 professional titles and said as was the religion in Roma.
in my opinion I think that living would be very sad because in the end will always be alone without being familiar with some

This movie begins with a meeting of several friends in john's house; the reason of this meeting is John's farewell that for some reason until that ignored moment will move.
Among the conversation their friends ask to john because he will leave and is it there when he asks him "¿what it happens if a man, from the Paleolithic superior survives until today's day? " with this question john it begins to count this great history.
III.- When John mentions the religious topic and he says that he is Jesus, all the characters begin to believe in the history some more than other, but in general all have a doubt since on the history the arguments that he gives they are very believable.
Then John denies all that said and all the friends retire but alone two know that that said by john was true these characters they are Sandy and the Dr. Gruber who he tastes that John was his father like the end.
I believe that we all possess life eternal. this life eternal is divided in two:
The first one is the life in the earth, and the second is the life where we are totally happy to the side God.
I believe that today we are living as the introduction of the eternal life and that we have lot for live.

1.- John is a history teacher.
Harry is a biologist.
Will is a psychologist.
Dan is an anthropologist
Art is an archaeologist
Sandy is a history teacher
Linda is a student
Edith is an expert in Christian literature
2.- This story begins in Jhon´s house, when his friends have a meeting because he leaves the city and nobody knows the reason yet. Then, they begin to ask him why he leaves the city now? And what happened if a man can live thousands of years? With these questions Jhon told the true about his mystery, but only Sandy and Will believe him.
3.- Jhon talk about the religion, and say to the others that he has ten professional titles. Then, Will taste that Jhon was his father, and the movie finished.
4.- I think that is something very complicate, because to live eternally you have to leave a lot of people and things that you like. I think that God give you a period of life and you have to live it and try to do all the things that you want.

1) John is the main character and he is teacher of history.
The other characters of the film are his friends and colleagues:
Sandy is his assistant and she is in love with him,
Harry is a very funny biologist,
Art is an archeologist, Dan is an anthropologist, Edith knows about religion and art, and Linda is a young student, Jonh's ex-schoolgirl.
Later appeared Dr.Will Gruber, a psychologist, he came after Art call him by cell phone saying that John was crazy.
2)John would depart from the city without giving explanations, for that reason his friends went to his house to say good-bye him.
Among the things of John there was a Van Gogh's picture, which called the interest of Edith, by the similitude to true one, but John said that it is false.
When the friends entered in the John's house, Dan found a burin made by a man of the Paleolithic, John said that he bought in a store of gifts.
Edith commented that he didn't become old in ten years, John asked: what would happen if a man of the caves still alive today? His friends thought that John was planning to write a science-fictional book.
Later john insured than he traveled with Christopher Colon, all his friends believed it joke, but he began to tell his story, insuring at the end, that he had the perfect public for they hear his story.
3)Edith was the first in believing him when John told that he emigrated to America with frenches after Van Gogh's death. But when John talked about religion, about Buddha and he said that he was Jesus, they began to believe him, except Edith.
4)In my opinion, I would like to live very much without aging nor sickening, but no more than 200 years and without being immortal.
On the other hand, living like John would be to have to bear all the negative changes of humanity, seeing as die all the people that I want and as the things that I like stop existing, for these reasons, I would prefer not to live forever.

When a group of friend are meeting in the john's house with the reason of that john moved, his friends ask him the reason of this, and is in this moment when John ask them ¿what it happens if a man, from the Paleolithic superior survives until today's day? starting with the history.
They do, when Joh tell that he was jesus and everyone were shocked especially Edith that refuses to believe.And Will believed it when Jhon tell that he used so many names like "John T. Partee" which was the name of the Will's father, and finally Will dies of the shock.
I think that live eternally is a little sad, because we should leave all even the things that we love. We will have that see all the misfortune y we have that see to die to each of your friends and family.

_Jhon Oldman:History teacher.
_Sandy:History teacher.
_Harry:Biology teacher.
_Edith:Specialist in Christian religion.
_Linda Murphy:Art´s student.
_Dr.William Gruber:psychologist.
2-The Jhon´s story began when his friends asked him about his worries, then jhon began to narrate exemplifying the facts that are true, but that nobody knows.
3-The character begins to believes when Jhon tell that he was Jesus and Edith Doesn´t wanna believe, but then she did too.
Dr. William believed in the end of the movie.
4-I agree, but I disagree too, because living eternally is good, but then is boring and sad, because in the future I am going to tired and I could watch to my family die, however if everybody live eternally, it will be good,but the planet would be overpopulated and this it would be the end of the earth, so living eternally is very good, but very bad.

Sandy: History teacher.
2)John is going away to change and reunites to several of his friends in a species of goodbye meeting. Up to here all normal one… until it reveals to them that it is 14,000 years old. All take it like a joke, until they begin to do questions to him and it agilely responds them and of correct form, giving arguments and leaving the door opened to that everything is truth.
3)When John said to them, at the outset they did not believe to him; but little by little one went away giving the situation where they began to believe its history. They began to him to think when John says to them: What happens if a man, from the superior Paleolítico survives to today? Their friends took it like a joke, but they began to make questions that John begins to respond all his questions and all their answers had relation with which he said.
4)I disagree with this because I think that to live eternally is "utopia" and idea illogical, since one has service life (as it is born, sooner or later must die) and is something sacred that God gave us so that we knew a new, full world of suffering and sadness, and that to the passage of the life to be finding the happiness.

This movie begin in the John's house, yours friens go good bay because he will move (house) to other place. When arrive the characters begin to pry, they found age's thing and John ask: ¿what it happens if a man, from the Paleolithic superior survives until today's day?; John assure than travel whit Christobal Colon, yours friends believe than this is a joke; John begin to count the big history.
the characters began to believe when John mention than he is Jesus, and than he was in many history stage, whit this the friends belieble, some had one doubt, but the john's arguments was very believable. Finally Dr. Will listen than a name of John is identical to the of your dad.after than Will death, Sandy think than all is true.
In my opinion, I will live eternally, because always Ithink as reacted the people whit 'the discovery of America'; too know much people, my personal opinion live 14000 years old will be bkn.

4)in my opinion I think is quite interesting, because that is his whole life is passing and he can not die, but not for the maximum, he learned many things throughout history and what most caught my attention was that all his friends die over time, and knows far exceeded the maturity.

This story begins with the departure of John, the reason for this is unknown farewell to his friends. meanwhile, all come to the house upon arrival and ask to meet the jhon "¿what it happens if a man, from the Paleolithic superior survives until today's day? " with this question john it begins to count this great history.
3)When John talks about the religious theme, all his friends were celebrating a lot, since the claim to be Jesus Christ Himself, the full of confusion and fear, but to their own arguments become very credible.
Then the two characters qe believe his story that are sandy and will, which the latter learns a truth, his father was john, and this makes his story credible.
4)live forever, I think it is something a little sad every year would have to go see my family on my side, and my own family, but would have the awareness that every thirty-five years would have to see how I leave.
On the other hand if I stay with the age of sixteen that I would be a little young to be happy forever, with all that you mention qe me needless to say I do not know better would not know what death every human being in fear life.

I'm not really good at getting close to people. It makes me incredibly uncomfortable.
I think the reason why I switched coffee stores in the first place was because they were getting way too familiar… The workers were coming to the dental clinic I work at… the boss (who also works there taking orders), knew my name… the barista made my coffee before I even ordered it at the counter…
Now this new place also knows my order as soon as I walk through the door. She's written "SKL" (Large skim latte) on the coffee lid before I open my mouth. I've got a $20 note in my hand, so she asks "and the Portuguese chicken wrap too?".
These encounters make me borderline uncomfortable… But still bearable. But lately I've been saving my coffee for lunchtimes. And at lunchtime, the cafe isn't as busy. So what does the barista do? She starts a conversation with me. We have a conversation about my contacts, laser eye surgery, and meanwhile I'm getting increasingly uncomfortable.
I'm not ranting about all this because I think there's anything wrong with me.
No, not at all.
I'm just an introvert. I like keeping to myself. I don't like small talk.
I don't like being asked about how my day is going because I really don't believe the barista, or the shop assistant, or the bank teller, gives a damn. They smile, make conversation, and act like they care, because it's all part of their "excellent customer service". I would know – I do it at work.
When I'm not working, I just want everyone to shut the damn up.
I want everyone to mind their own business, because I'm too busy minding my own damn business. So is it too much to ask for, to be able to just get my coffee, and get out?
If I think we're meant to be friends, then I will converse with you about all the wonderful things we share an interest in.
For the mean time, just leave. Me. Alone.

Alex Molitor - Molitor Motorsports / Failure to provide parts paid for
Alex Molitor stole $270 from me for some used parts. He never produced the parts, and he lied and stood me up several times when he promised to meet to deliver the parts. Twice, he tried to give me incorrect parts. Ultimately, he refused to refund my money.
Alex runs a repair shop in Decatur, Georgia. He boasted several times about his BMW expertise and experience as a BMW technician. However, if he genuinely believed what he was telling me about the parts he had, then he is totally ignorant of BMW service.
Alex advertises on eBay, Craig's List, and several BMW forums. He has used IDs and email addresses such as mmsbmw, firstname.lastname@example.com, and email@example.com. His ads consistently list his phone number: [protected]; therefore beware of ads that have that number or use those email addresses.

Horse Vaccinations...Anthrax, flu and everything in between!
Spring is here! With it comes the annual question of what should you vaccinate your horse for. The options are endless and the challenge is finding the right balance for your horse, mediating the risk of infection without going overboard and overstimulating the immune system causing unwanted side effects. Taking a less is more approach is often the best course of action. Keep in mind that vaccines don't entirely eliminate the risk of disease and should be used as a health management tool. The American Association of Equine Practitioners has set forth some useful vaccine guidelines (www.aaep.org) that can aid in developing a vaccination schedule. Most importantly, having a good relationship with your veterinarian is priceless. Even if you vaccinate your horse yourself, you should always consult your veterinarian. They can help you develop a vaccine protocol to fit your specific situation.
Develop a Vaccination Protocol
Vaccinating your horse at the right time is key in protecting them from illness. Vaccines work by priming the immune system against specific viruses, bacteria and other disease-causing organisms. Some are made from killed or inactivated organisms (or products derived from them) along with adjuvants that help stimulate the immune system. Others contain living but weakened versions of the organisms, potent enough to trigger an immune response without causing disease.
The immune system needs time to respond to vaccines and build up these defenses, so as a rule you should give a vaccine approximately two weeks before you expect your horse will encounter the risk. If he has never been vaccinated against the disease, establishing a protective level of immunity will require a series of shots spaced several weeks apart (depending on the vaccine). In this case you'll need to schedule the initial vaccine even farther in advance of exposure. After that, the horse will need boosters annually or more often, depending on the vaccine and the risk of exposure to the disease.
The same process that builds immunity can also produce side effects. Vaccines are tested for safety, but mild reactions, such as fever and local muscle soreness, are common. Less often, an intramuscular injection leads to a bacterial infection or an injection site abscess. In rare cases, vaccines have caused severe allergic reactions—so avoiding unnecessary vaccination is important.
Things to consider when developing a vaccination protocol:
Location: The horse should be vaccinated against diseases he's likely to encounter where he lives or may be shipped. Some risks are widespread, some regional and some local.
Lifestyle: Horses that go to shows or other venues where they encounter horses from other barns need protection against diseases that spread horse to horse. Where other horses could bring infection onto the farm, even horses that stay home need protection. Horses can carry some diseases without showing symptoms, shedding bacteria and viruses, and infecting others.
Use: Broodmares need protection against diseases that can cause abortion. Revaccinating mares four to six weeks before foaling helps ensure high levels of antibodies in colostrum (first milk), which help protect foals in the first months of life. Some vaccines should not be used in pregnant mares, so pay attention to label indications.
Age: Young horses (under age 5) are more susceptible to some diseases, such as equine herpesvirus and West Nile virus. Immune response in older horses weakens with age and they can become more susceptible to certain types of disease that can lower their immune system response.
Core Vaccinations:
Tetanus bacteria are everywhere, including the soil, where they form spores and become dormant. If they find their way into a penetrating wound, they germinate and begin to produce a potent neurotoxin. Horses are highly susceptible to the toxin, which causes violent muscle spasms and potentially fatal complications.
Vaccination with tetanus toxoid (a weakened form of the toxin) gives safe and reliable protection.
Vaccinated horses need an annual booster, which can be given at any time of year. If the horse gets a wound and it has been more than six months since his last booster, he should have another.
Rabies: A virus that attacks the nervous system causes rabies. It occurs in every state except Hawaii, mainly among wild animals (especially skunks, raccoons, foxes, coyotes and bats). Although it's not common in horses, there are equine cases every year. A rabid animal wanders out of the woods and bites a horse, or the horse has a wound that becomes contaminated with saliva or blood from a rabid animal.
Rabies is always fatal and poses risks to anyone in contact with an infected horse, but vaccination provides reliable protection.
An annual booster can be given at any time of year. In most states rabies vaccinations must be performed by a licensed veterinarian.
Eastern equine encephalitis/Western equine encephalitis: Biting mosquitoes spread viruses that cause EEE and WEE. The viruses attack the horse's nervous system, and EEE is the deadlier of the two—only about 10 percent of clinically affected horses survive. It occurs mainly in the eastern, Gulf Coast and Midwestern states; WEE, which is less common, occurs mainly in the west. (Venezuelan equine encephalitis, a related virus, hasn't been reported in the United States for more than 35 years. You don't need to vaccinate against it unless your horse will travel to an area where the disease has been reported.)
Vaccines for EEE and WEE are usually combined in a single shot, often with tetanus and other vaccines.
Boosters should be given in spring so the horse can build immunity before mosquito populations peak in summer. Hot, wet summers increase the risk for mosquito-borne diseases.
In areas where mosquitoes are active year-round and the risk is high, horses may need a second booster in the fall.
West Nile virus: Although WNV belongs to a different viral family than EEE, it also spreads via mosquitoes and attacks the horse's nervous system. About a third of horses who develop clinical signs of WNV infection die, and survivors may have long-term gait and behavior problems.
There are currently four licensed WNV vaccines based on different technologies, but all are safe and effective. Your vet can advise you on which is best for your horse.
As with EEE/WEE, boosters should be given in spring to build immunity before mosquito season and repeated where the risk is year-round. This is especially important for young horses and older horses with Cushing's disease, who are more susceptible to WNV.
Respiratory Risks
Flu: Equine influenza, which is caused by a virus, is among the most common infectious respiratory diseases in horses. The AAEP recommends this vaccination for all horses except those who live in a closed, isolated herd—they never leave the farm and have no contact with outside horses. For the rest, risk levels determine how often to administer a booster. Horses who show often or live in barns where horses are in and out should get a booster every six months.
Horses who are only occasionally in contact with others can get along with an annual booster. Time it to maximize immunity when risk of exposure is highest.
Equine herpesvirus: Equine herpesvirus type 1 and equine herpesvirus type 4 usually cause a flu-like illness (rhinopneumonitis) with fever and respiratory symptoms. EHV-1 can cause pregnant mares to abort, and in some cases the virus damages blood vessels in the brain and spinal cord, producing equine herpesvirus myeloencephalopathy, a neurologic disease that can be fatal. In recent years veterinarians have identified a strain of the EHV-1 virus that has caused serious outbreaks of EHM.
Many horses are infected with EHV early in life as weanlings and carry the virus for life. Like other herpes viruses EHV goes latent, hiding in the body. When the horse is stressed—by shipping, fatigue or some other cause—the virus may become active. Carrier horses may not show signs of illness, but they can shed the virus and spread it to others. Vaccination helps prevent respiratory illness and reduce viral shedding.
Some vaccines also help prevent EHV-caused abortion and are labeled for that.
There are no vaccines labeled effective against EHM. Some studies suggest that a modified live virus vaccine (Rhinomune MLV from Boehringer Ingelheim Vetmedica) or a high antigen-load killed vaccine labeled for preventing abortion (Pneumabort K from Zoetis) may lessen the severity of the neurologic disease, but more research is needed.
Annual boosters are appropriate for most horses, but those at high risk—performance and show horses, horses under 5 years old and those on breeding farms or in contact with pregnant mares—may need boosters every six months.
Strangles: Strangles, caused by Streptococcus equi bacteria, is common and highly contagious. Early signs include fever, depression and cough, followed by swelling of the lymph nodes around the horse's jaw and throatlatch. Soon a discharge of pus begins draining from the horse's nose. Abscesses may form in the lymph nodes and burst open to drain. Occasionally the bacteria spread to lymph nodes elsewhere in the body and there can be serious complications. Young horses are often hardest hit. Both killed injectable and modified live intranasal vaccines are available, and they can help prevent or reduce the severity of the disease.
Strangles vaccines produce a strong response, and there is more risk of side effects than some other vaccines. A horse that's at low risk can probably skip this vaccination. This would be a horse that mainly stays on a farm, in a closed herd where the health status is known for all the horses and new arrivals are quarantined for two weeks.
For horses at high risk, such as those going to shows where many horses mingle and you're not sure of biosecurity, vaccination may make sense.
Less-Common Risks
Potomac horse fever: This disease occurs in many areas of the country, but risk is local. It's caused by a bacterial organism with a complicated life cycle, moving through parasitic flukes, water snails and insects. Horses are thought to pick up the bacteria by eating insects that die and fall into hay or pasture. These insects emerge in warm weather, so vaccinate in spring.
Equine viral arteritis: This respiratory disease is contagious but so mild that most horses don't need vaccination. But the virus that causes it also causes abortion in pregnant mares. Broodmares can be vaccinated before breeding.
Rotaviral diarrhea: Rotavirus is a major cause of foal diarrhea. Vaccinating pregnant mares helps protect their foals. Other horses don't need this shot, and no evidence shows that vaccinating newborn foals has benefits.
Botulism: Broodmares can be vaccinated against the form of botulism that causes shaker foal syndrome. The vaccine protects their foals from this usually fatal condition, but it doesn't protect horses from other forms of botulism.
Anthrax: Few horses need vaccination against anthrax; the bacteria that cause this deadly disease are found in scattered sites mainly in the Southwest.
Snakebite: A new vaccine promises to protect horses from the toxin delivered by western diamondback rattlesnakes, something to consider if you're in snake country.

Our Value
"You can't invent quality, it is something you reach after many years of experience. Knitwear will always be a big handicraft and never an industry".
Starting from this commitment, Gianluigi Vavassori, Creative Director and Founder of the OBVIOUS BASIC, tells the story of his brand:
"Our legacy is based on the family. It is an intuition of our parents Erminio Vavassori and Rosa Frigerio, that inspired and convinced them to open in the 1962 a small knitwear shop. Their life and destiny changed, so that of their sons. They started like that, it was a bet. But they quickly found themselves running a large knitwear production, with a relevant turnover and prestigious clients. Those were years of commitment, efforts but with a lot of satisfactions that led to the 2004. During this year a generational replacement took place, myself and my brother Roberto started running the company. We immediately decided to make some changes, based on our solid experience in the textile and "Made in Italy" tailoring. And we focused our work on male fashion production".
"We then started a partnership with Paolo Pecora, a licensee that will last a decade with a turnover of 12 million Euros. It is at this point that we launched the brand OBVIOUS BASIC "by Paolo Pecora" as a integrated collection. It is a modern line with modern, eclectic and eccentric items.
The character and personality of the style is so strong that I soon decided to launch it as an autonomous brand during the winter of 2013. It was the first independent collection of OBVIOUS BASIC. I don't believe in a boring male fashion, that is always the same season after season. My commitment is for a smart casual look, where irony is always a key player in daily life".

God Makes Himself Known
Praise God's name now and forevermore! He healed me at a healing service from that overwhelming pain of fibromyalgia.
Then in my home three month's later, three women of God came to pray for my stomach. The Lord took the pain that day! From that moment He has been doing a creative on-going miracle. He has lifted my stomach up and is putting it back into my stomach pouch. It is amazing to see and feel!
For 20 years pain pills were a part of my daily routine. Now, each new morning there is something more that I can do. My doctor is in awe. I stopped the pain pills the very day those women came to my house and prayed for me. I have not taken one since!"
I found myself lying at the edge of the pool, out of the water, not knowing how I got there. No one was with me, and my mother was still sunbathing, unaware that I had just had a narrow escape. I figured 'Someone' had rescued me!"
It began for us when Tom and his brother had a falling-out in their relationship. Ill feelings in their work together turned into anger and neither one would talk to the other. The conflict resulted in our having nothing to do with the brother's family and we moved away.
About a year and a half later, out of the blue, on Tom's birthday, a call came which was to change our lives forever. On the other end of the line was Tom's brother. "Happy Birthday," he said, and then he added, "Will you forgive me?"
Stunned and surprised, Tom forgave his brother and asked for forgiveness in return. After tears were dried, Tom heard how God had touched his brother's family in a miraculous way and was soon to change Tom and me.
Until then, we hadn't known our nephew had a worst case scenario of rheumatic fever. We then heard the details of the story. The youngest of three boys, at age 12 he contracted the disease with symptoms of an enlarged heart, edema, and swelling of the joints. He was to be moved about in a wheelchair because it was hard and unsafe for him to walk.
The middle son, in the meantime, was attending a Christian high school and was to write a report for his religion class on the differences between Christian denominations. He prevailed on his parents to attend the local Television Crusade of an Evangelist in town, since the son himself was unable to attend.
Father, mother, an older son and the ailing youngster went with trepidation to a service entirely foreign to them. Settled way in the back of the huge auditorium under the balcony, they sat, giving full attention to the activities going on. The Evangelist, hair slicked down, dressed in a tuxedo with ruffles and rings on his fingers, was singing into a microphone, accompanied by a noisy band. He moved about the stage, cameras on him, and continued on down into the congregation.
The Evangelist would go up to people without personally knowing them, and describe the physical condition that brought them to the meeting in search of healing. A person would be asked, "Do you believe Jesus can heal you?" He responded to their stunned, but affirmative answer, with a power-filled prayer for healing. Onlookers could see evidence of that healing!
Observing all the proceedings, our sister-in-law noticed the Evangelist dragging the long cord of the microphone to the back of the auditorium as he approached them. "Lady, stand up! This is your day! Is this your family?"
"Yes," she stammered, "This is my husband and our sons."
"But where is your other son?" (He called out his name!) Having gotten their attention, the Evangelist proceeded to pray for each member of the family. When the youngest boy, the one who was ill was prayed for, he felt heat go through his body! He knew he was instantly healed. A later visit to the doctor that week affirmed the fact that there were no symptoms or indication of the disease. Everything was back to normal!
God had indeed touched each member of the family, including reconciliation with Tom and his brother. This one act of God, through a willing Evangelist, a man with only a fourth grade education, also affected Tom and me. We turned our lives around and sought to be changed.
God is waiting for men and women to turn from their own ways, willing to follow and cling to Jesus as Lord of all. Sometimes a miracle is all it takes!
Unless you cling to me,
I bring to ruin the things
you, yourselves have set up in My place.
I want you for Myself to be My people,
known through all the world
for your praise and glory.
(Taken from Jeremiah 13:8-11)

Why Ecuador?
When I was in my twenties, I set a goal to work until I was forty five years old then retire somewhere in Mexico. Half of that dream was fulfilled when, miraculously, I celebrated my forty-fifth birthday. But instead of retiring in Mexico I was starting life over from scratch— for the third time.
Now that I am and finally retired, at the age of sixty-six , Mexico no longer appeals to me or anyone else.
|In only ten days, Charlie made me go to every place inside the blue ring on this map.
Recently my interest has been focused on South America in a search of an alternative to Mexico, so a trip down that way seemed like a good idea. I spoke with my friend Charlie Brown and found he was also curious about South America..We got together to talk about a a trip to some place south of the Panama Canal and settled on Ecuador. Neither of us had been there before, so decided to spend ten days exploring the central highlands (see map) from Cuenca, north to Otavalo. We saw lots of beautiful places and smiling faces. I'm sure Charlie won't mind, so I'm going to share some of our trip highlights.
The Plan:
Charlie and I met before dawn at DFW airport Tuesday, September 4th, 2012. There is no need to tell you about the details of planning the trip because there were none. Unless you travel with a guided tour arranged by someone else, you really never know what you need to take or what you can actually do until you get there.
There are travel books that help some, but mainly as a source of places to avoid. It seems half the traveling college kids in the world flock to predetermine locations with their backpacks over their shoulders and a copy of Lonely Planet in their hands. I'd rather avoid those over crowded and over priced places and their platoons of pimpled patrons.
Neither Charlie nor I had been to Ecuador before, but here's what we did to prepare for the trip:
- I packed everything I could carry (including dust tape, rope and matches) and Charlie brought a back pack that contained a change of underwear and some books.
- The official currency in Ecuador is US dollars, however a lesson learned long ago in Mexico prompted us to visit our banks to pick up small bills—ones and fives. Cab drivers and the likes seem to get away with some big tips when you hand them a twenty dollar bill. They hardly ever have change!
- During a lay over in Atlanta we discussed some of the places and activities we would like to experience. One thing we both agreed on was shopping for good deals on hats.The finest Panama hats in the world are made in Ecuador.
- Up to this point our itinerary was no
more than a list places we wanted to visit and confirmed reservations for
places to stay each night. I set up the reservations for our hotels and
Charlie came up with a lot of fun places to go in and around the places we
stayed. Other than these basics, our plan was simply to "wing it". Hard
headed old farts have a tendency to avoid high expectations in order get
more fun out of the good things that happen. Try it sometime. You just
might find that if you don't expect a lot in advance you'll have more
appreciation for the things that work out well.
The FlightOur flight landed in Quito at 11:00 pm Tuesday and right away we noticed discomfort caused by the decreased amount oxygen in the air. Quito sets at an elevation of 9350 feet above sea level and there are hills every where. The free lance cab driver who collared me had parked his car outside of the airport proper and on a hill, at about 11,000 feet. Other than the fact we couldn't breathe, this mountain city seemed to be the best place for a base camp. The modestly priced hotel in the central Mariscal district worked out well. The staff at La Casa Sol took good care of us. They even did our laundry while we were traveling around in other parts of the country."Metrobus":Friday morning we decided to take the Quito Teleferico (tramway) to access a park located 3,000 feet above the city,. Charlie had noticed signs advertising the tram on the way from the airport to the hotel the night before. We wanted to get a good look at the layout of Quito, so the following we asked directions.After nearly an hour of trying to figure out how to pronounce Teleferico, we spoke to the hotel staff and asked for advice on how to get there by bus. "We wantie el buso to el chingadera que takie us to top of mountain". "Chingadera" was as close as we could get to "Teleferico", but we I guess we did OK because we got good directions to the buses we needed to ride. Metrobus is the most popular means of transportation in Quito because it costs only a quarter to go anywhere in town.
The lady at the hotel gave us some good information about which buses to take but she neglected to tell us about the procedures for getting on and off the darn things. The bus doesn't stop. A bus stop is really a place where the vehicle slows down enough for you to run along side it and jump on. The same goes for getting off the bus. You had best hit the ground running.Most buses have a singer or a preacher on-board. These guys gamble a quarter for a ride in hopes that they will earn enough from the other passengers to make a profit. In some extreme cases the passengers pay early just to get the guys to shut up.
The Tram:
View from tram window going up. Every semi-level place near Quito has something built on it. Free ranging cattle.We jumped off the bus at the parking lot for the tram and walked up in time to catch the first departure of the morning. The ride was fun and we got our first look at some free ranging cattle. Chickens and goats also can be found anywhere there's something for them to eat. However, pigs are tethered. I guess there is a liability problem if they get loose and cause damage to some one's property. Or maybe pork is in high demand.
The view from the top of the tram was well worth the time and a great way to start or first day in Ecuador.
Amateur pork-poacher near Quito.
Tram stops at an altitude of over 12.000 feet MSL. If you decide to go farther up the mountain, toward the volcano, you may want to stop at the little church first.After returning to Quito we caught a taxi to the heart of "old town". I guess every town has an "old town:" unless, of course, it is a very new town.The original plaza has been preserved beautifully. There are magnificent churches, quaint barber shops, stores, and all sorts of businesses which seem to be thriving, including banks. At the entrance of each bank there is at least one guard armed with either an automatic rifle or a sawed-off shotgun. The weapons are held at the ready position so that it can be fired without hesitation. The alert soldiers constantly scan back and forth making eye contact with everyone in sight. The forceful appearance of the guards is more startling than the weapons they carry. I am usually bold when it comes to getting pictures of almost everything but pointing anything, even a camera, at these guys would be considered more asinine than bold.The fact that U. S. dollars are used in Ecuador and the proximity of Colombian cartels may explain the heavy defense of the banks. Or, maybe they just never quite got over Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid—those estiking gringo robbers who caused all that trouble in Bolivia.Thugs understand heavy armament that is meant to stop foul play. This aggressive stance is the only way to prevent the creation of war zones like those in Mexico.Public display of military presence seems to be doing a good job of preserving the peace in Ecuador. I felt safe from the bad guys.
Pictures of "Old Town":
Fiesta de Miercoles:When we got back to the hotel that afternoon we dropped off our gear and set out to explore the neighborhood. After walking a few blocks we found a big party in the streets of an intersection. It seems Wednesday is the big night-out for Ecuadorians and this place is one of many where folks get together to drink, hoot and holler. On all four corners there were motorcycle cops keeping an eye on the festivities. As long as no one is being destructive it makes no difference how much noise they make or how drunk they get, there's no worry about being hassled by the cops. But, there is zero tolerance for any kind of violence. One important trait in an environment such as this is the ability of each individual to feel that they are being laughed with and not laughed at. It kind of reminds me of Juarez in the 1970s.When we got back to the hotel we could still hear the noise from the fiesta so it took a while to fall asleep.
Trip to Otavalo:Thursday morning we had our usual breakfast of fresh fruit, juice and juevos revueltos. Then we struck out to see the town and get idea how much hats cost in Quito. We were planning a trip to Otavalo, a town up north, near the Colombian border, the next morning. The big attraction in Otavalo is the Indian market every Saturday. If we could get a general idea of stuff was going for in Quito we would have some idea of what we should pay at the market where goods are bought directly from the natives who produce them.
Lake side community.By the time we got done, there was too little time left in the day to do anything but start packing for our trip the next day.After breakfast Friday morning we took a pleasant cab ride out of Quito, down into a big valley and back into some more mountains and past a volcano to Otavalo. Another volcano added to the great scenery along the way. Lago San CarlosIt was a fun trip because we got the driver to take side trips so we could look at anything we wanted to.The only time I felt a bit uncomfortable was when the taxi driver stopped the cab, opened the door and ran behind a fence to relief himself. I had no problem with Juan Gabriel heeding nature's call; what bothered me was the fact that he didn't pull the vehicle off the highway before he stopped. The roadway didn't have a shoulder and there was lots of noise from automobile horns and screaming passengers in vehicles as they rounded the blind corner where we were parked and had to swerve to miss us.
When we got to Otavalo the driver was completely lost. This became evident when we asked him to take us by the Mercado de Los Ponchos where the market is located. He had to ask directions several times but we finally found it. People were already set up for the Saturday market.Then we went on to the hotel which had the same name as the one in Quito—La Casa Sol. It was owned by the same people, but this one was in a more remote location on the side of a hill. The view was good but, again, there was lots of smoke in the air. There were a few large fires in the distance but most of the smoke was coming from people burning their trash.
La Casa Sol; OtavaloLa Plaza de Los Ponchos:In the morning the air was clear and cool. The visibility was at least around 50 miles.We got ready and headed for the market in where the indigenous people of the Andes sell their arts and crafts. This huge market is said to provide close to eighty percent of the monetary income of the natives. Saturday is the busiest day and we started at one end and worked through the maze of tables and racks that displayed too many things to list. A look at the photos will give a better description than words.The first row was two blocks long and consisted of food concessions. We had just eaten breakfast at the hotel so missed a chance to sample some really weird looking stuff being cooked in huge pots and skillets. I recognized some of the ingredients like: potatoes, eggs, peppers and such but most of it was pretty strange looking. It smelled great but I just wasn't in the mood to experiment. One reason I was timid was the fact I recognized one of the meat items. I'm talking about cuyes (koo-ways), or guinea pigs. They are considered fine dining in Ecuador and several other countries. They looked delicious, but there are some critters I just don't consider to be food.The market itself was stocked mostly with hand made items that the indigenous people bring down from the Andes each weekend. There were too many things to list, but hopefully the attached photos will speak for themselves. Bargaining and people watching were the best parts of this experience. Places like this market are great for practicing Spanish and learning new words.After I had bought about all I could carry we went back to the hotel so I could sort the treasures. It appeared I would need to buy an additional suitcase to get all the stuff home but with a little imagination and luck the last day of the trip, I managed. I was lucky enough to talk the airline people into letting me take three carry-on bags.
Card Game
Condor Park:
In the early afternoon we hired a taxi to take us to a condor park at the top of one of the nearby mountains. This turned out to be one of the best parts of the whole trip.At the top of the mountain is a fenced off area with a gate where an admission fee of $3.75 is collected. As you walk up the cobble stone paths there are raptors for around the world in cages spread over an area of about five acres. At the summit, where the paths converge, there is a gated holding area where several eagles and falcons are tethered. Just past the holding area is a flat area at the edge of a cliff that drops of at least a thousand feet. This area is half way enclosed by a stone seating area.While sitting there taking in the view I heard a squawking sound behind us. I turned around and saw a hawk walking on the ground and being coaxed by a trainer who prodded the complaining bird into the performance area. For the next hour we were entertained by several trained raptors and their handlers.The most impressive part of the show was a eagle which flew off the handler's arm, down the cliff and out of sight. The bird returned after several minutes and soared in circles hundreds of feet above us. The handler shouted at the eagle and it tucked its wings and dove at the trainer. Just before the bird reached trainer's gloved hand it open it's wings and landed gracefully on the glove.I took lots of pictures at Parque del Condor. Here are a few of them:
We had a full day and at
dinnersupper we were joined by the only other guest in the hotel; a lady from Scotland named Kathleen. I love the sense of humor people from her part of the world have and she was hilarious. Everything we discussed was fun or funny.Kathleen is a retired widow who had decided to see the world. Her itinerary, which went on for four months, included lots of hiking and mountain climbing. Most kids in their twenties are too lazy or afraid to do the stuff she was enjoying.The next morning when we went upstairs for breakfast Kathleen was headed out the door with boots, hat and back pack on.
Before heading back to Quito we visited the small town of Cotacachi which is known for it's leather goods. I also had been in touch with an American who had moved there. I was curious to see the place and decide whether or not I would like to live or stay there for a month or so. I decided that I may want to return for an extended stay but I don't think my wife, Debbie, would ever move out of the USA. I also decided that I am an American and I need to live in America and do all I can to return a positive attitude to as many fellow Americans as I possibly can.We returned to Quito and started getting ready for our flight to Cuenca. The folks at the hotel had our laundry done and our room waiting for us.
The staff at La Casa Sol, and everyone I had contact with in Ecuador treated me like a good friend who was their guest. They all seemed so happy with life in general and wanted us to have a good time too.Some photos taken near our hotel in Otavalo:

Charlie's feetCuenca:
We were up at 4:30 am so we could get to the airport early for our 7:00 am flight to Cuenca. The word cuenca is Spanish for basin and this city of half a million people has four rivers flowing through it. After we leveled off for the forty five minute hop I was able to get some pictures with my phone. I was most impressed with the view of the snow topped volcano, called Cotopaxi, sticking up through the clouds.
Cotopaxi from above; the elevation of this volcano is 19,347 feetWe went from the airport to our hotel and were allowed to check in early. We then put on our back packs and started off to explore Cuenca.What a beautiful city. The population is about a half million but the people are laid back and friendly.The central plaza is surrounded by beautiful churches that are hundreds of years old. I was most fascinated by the Cathedral Nueva and its three domes built with blue ceramic tile. When construction began, the cathedral was meant to be the largest church in South America and able to accommodate 10,000 people. In the mid 1800s an engineer visited the site and warned that the foundation wouldn't support any more weight, so construction stop and the building has remained suspended in the same state of unfinished construction for a century and a half.
In this picture of Cuenca taken from a hillside, the three blue domes of La Nueva Cathedral can be seen in the center
Fresh flowers form a corner market like this one are sure to brighten your day.

Panama hats were at the top of our shopping list and Cuenca is supposed to be the best place in the world to find hats that are completely finished or can be finished with a custom design. In Quito we learned that the largest factory is Homero Ortega's, so we headed that way.Charlie picked out a couple of hats, discussed the details of how he wanted them finished and we were told we could return the following day to pick up the custom sombreros.
One of Debbie's hats
September 11:We toured Cuenca some more and went back to Homero Ortega's to pick up Charlie's hats. They turned out great and cost a fraction of what they would in the States.We got a cab back to our hotel, La Posada del Angel, and started getting our things organized for the flight back to Quito. We had collected quite a few treasures and had to pack strategically in order to get all the stuff home without extra costs.We had supper at a the restaurant down stairs. The family that owns and operates the hotel also owns a popular Italian restaurant which adjoins the hotel but has its own entrance on the side street. The food and prices were excellent.September 12:We got up at 6:30, had coffee and made our way to the airport for our 8:30 departure.Luckily, the folks at La Casa Sol in Quito had reserved our same room and allowed us to check in in early. Then we went out and about to pick up some more gifts.That afternoon was pretty kicked back and we mostly hung around close to the hotel.I went to get my shoes shined and the bolero did a great job. He asked for forty cents. When I gave him two bucks he was ecstatic.On the way back to the hotel I stopped off at a book store and spend a while visiting with the owner. The name of the store is The English Book Store and Mark, the owner, moved to Ecuador from Essex, near London, in 1987. I told Mark that I had some interest in returning to Ecuador for an extend stay so I could have some time to consider moving there. He was a wealth of knowledge and made sure I had a way to contact him if I needed any help.I went back to the hotel, showered, packed and spent the evening reading.
September 13:Our flight back to the U.S. didn't depart Quito until 11:30 pm so we had plenty of time for another adventure. Charlie had read about a place called Mindo that was about a hundred miles north of Quito up in the mountains. We thought it would be worth the trip so we grabbed our pack packs and headed out.We literally jumped on a bus and headed to the central bus station to catch another bus for the three hour trip. When we got to the station at 9:30am we learned that the bus to Mindo didn't leave until 4:30pm so we hired a cab.When we got there we went to a butterfly house and took some pictures. Next we took a ride on a cable car that spanned a half mile wide canyon. It was about seven or eight hundred feet to the river below. Take a look at the picture of the power plant for the cable car. It is a Nissan engine and transmission bolted to a concrete slab. The accelerator, clutch and gear shifter are intact and a guy sits there and drives the little cable across the canyon and back.Pictures around Mindo:

MariposaWe were glad we took the side trip and made it back to Quito in plenty of time to pack and rest up a while before our flight.We departed on time and flew all night long arriving at DFW at 8:00 Friday morning.It was a great trip but I'm not moving to Ecuador. Debbie and I have decided we belong in the U.S.A.I hope you enjoyed the story and the pictures.Dennis Sumrak

Bolha Subprime no Brasil?
"the debt service burden has risen to 24 per cent of disposable income and is set to rise further as rates push higher. We expect the burden to rise to an exorbitant 30 per cent by 2012. To put this into context, the US consumer "blew up" when the debt service burden hit 14 per cent (with a current read of approximately 12 per cent). In other words, the Brazilian consumer has twice the debt load from a cash flow perspective relative to a US consumer who is still widely regarded as being over leveraged. The situation in Brazil is worryingly similar to the sub-prime crisis in the US. A lot of credit is being pushed by the banks at high rates to consumers who ultimately won't be able to service the debt. There are also ominous signs of what economist John Kenneth Galbraith called the "bezzle" beginning to appear above the surface. In November 2010, a small bank, Panamericano, was found to be fudging its credit losses in consumer lending"

You have just arrived in Nashville, checked into your hotel, and now you are ready to see the sites and sounds that Music City has to offer. What is the best way to take in Nashville and all it has to offer?
If you are staying close enough you could walk down to the Honky Tonks on Lower Broadway and see the Ryman Auditorium, but you won't be able to walk to the Parthenon, Music Row, Civil War sites, The Hermitage, Studio B, or the Jack Daniels Distillery.
Nashville has a lot to offer for tourists visiting from out of town or for locals that want to be a tourist for a day or a weekend, but how can you see it all.
A Tour of Nashville and the surrounding sites is always a great option. Let a professional driver give you the history of the Original Grand Ole Opry or drive you down to Franklin or Murfreesboro to view a historical Plantation or Civil War Battlefield. Nashville Tours are economical and they allow you to take in multiple sites in a shorter period of time.
Tours of Nashville can be customized to meet your needs so you, your family, or even a large group can see what you want to see and stay as long as you desire at each location. If it is just you and your spouse you may want to utilize a sedan, but if you have a large group you may want to load up a full size 56 passenger motor coach or bus.
There are many great sites to see in Nashville as stated previously, but there are so many more to see and experience such as the Country Music Hall of Fame, Grand Ole Opry, Hermitage Hotel, Centennial Park, The Frist Center, Downtown Franklin, Carnton Plantation, Hatch Showplace, and many more, but one of the most popular is a tour of the world famous Jack Daniels Distillery.
The Jack Daniels Distillery has been a staple in Lynchburg, TN since prohibition. Even if you do not drink Jack Daniels is a great tour filled with rich history, great food, and music on the hill. This is a tour that the entire family or your company will surely enjoy on your next visit to Nashville.

World Bulletin/News Desk
Dozens of protesters have staged a demonstration in Kuwait City in solidarity with a former parliamentarian who had been detained by authorities after he criticized a recent visit by Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi to Kuwait.
Dozens of protesters, including former MPs, gathered Wednesday evening outside the private residence of Salah al-Mula to protest a decision by prosecutors to detain the liberal ex-MP for ten days on charges of "offending" his country and Egypt.
"There is no justification for al-Mula's detention," his lawyer Abdullah al-Ahmed, who also took part in the protest, told The Anadolu Agency.
He also said that investigators ordered al-Mula's detention immediately after he arrived at the prosecutor-general's office on Tuesday and that he has not been questioned thus far.
Al-Mula was interrogated by prosecutors on Tuesday after making comments on Twitter in which he criticized this week's visit to Kuwait by al-Sisi earlier this week.
"Sisi, you are not welcome," al-Mula had said on Twitter. "The Kuwaiti people are more worthy of their country's funds."
Al-Mula, who has served as a liberal member of parliament, boycotted Kuwait's 2012 parliamentary polls.
Al-Sisi wrapped up a two-day visit to Kuwait on Tuesday, during which he discussed bilateral relations with Emir Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah and other Kuwaiti officials.
Kuwait had been among the first Arab states to support the Egyptian government which followed the military ouster of Mohamed Morsi, the country's first freely elected president and Muslim Brotherhood leader, in the summer of 2013 following massive protests against his rule.
Since Morsi's ouster, Kuwait has provided Egypt with $4 billion worth of financial assistance: $2 billion had been deposited at Egypt's central bank, $1 billion worth of petroleum products and an additional $1 billion grant.Last Mod: 08 Ocak 2015, 11:37

Answers to Questions..
Folks ask my why am I loading to the forum and why the password. Well my other option is a site perhaps like 4shared etc. So you would follow the same steps only instead you go to the forum on the VDBC site and download. I am trying to centralize my work and time on the net so I can create create create. (I am having success with this goal as I have been creating like crazy.) So once you have registered at the forum you can continue to download the freebies by using the passwords. They change once a month rather then every time.

It was a usual weekday morning. The weather was getting colder, but not cold enough to completely give up on fashion yet. Ellie carefully layered up her business outfit. After a few sprays of her perfume, she grabbed her travel mug and her briefcase and left her house. Right on time, she thought, as she spotted Diego walking just a few meters in front of her. The chrome-pink-framed sunglasses gave her the pleasure of giving him four double look-overs in complete anonymity. She couldn't help it, he looked fine in any outfit, and he was just her type: clean cut, with just the right amount of scruff.
As she stood in a sea of perfumes and colognes in the metro, she thought ahead to the glass of wine that awaited her after work. Another presentation would be done and over with, another headache gone. Maybe she would ask one of the girls at work to have a glass with her. She got along well with the new girl from HR.
Her day did not go completely as planned. She leaned back into her chair after her presentation, her fingers playing the drums on her neat desk, and contemplated whether to invite Myriam – the girl from HR – or not. She decided drinking with someone was always more socially acceptable and the wiser decision.
The office was quiet, with most people rushing to get some last-minute important things done before the end of the day. No one likes to stay over unless they really needed to, and Myriam wasn't any different. Her desk was cluttered and she seemed a bit exasperated. Ellie knocked on the frame of her door.
"Hey Myriam. I was thinking of grabbing a glass of wine after work – seeing as I'm finally done with the presentation. Would you want to join? You look like you could use one too." She attempted as she waved at the desk.
"Oh, yeah the construction company's plan – good job on that. You sold me."
Ellie thanked her quietly. She waited patiently for her co-worker to decide.
"Yeah, let's go for a couple of glasses actually."
"Great, I'll meet you at the front desk then!"
On her way back to her own desk, her boss interjected her and called her into his office. She sat at one of the uncomfortable chairs in front of the modest wooden desk. Various frames were hung on the cream wall: his diplomas and prints of famous street artists – one by Jason Botkin caught Ellie's eye. One day she'll be so successful she'll be able to ask him to design one of her tattoos, she thought.
"Our company is looking to transfer someone to the Dublin branch for several months for a new contract they have."
Elena focused on her boss: the way his tie knot was slightly higher on the left side, his rolled-up sleeves, the part in his black hair… She wondered if his wife had helped him pick his light grey dress shirt and blood red tie combination this morning. She wondered if she would do that to her future husband, or if he would already have a deadly fashion sense. Maybe she would meet him in Dublin – wait, what? Dublin?
"We thought you would be a great fit there. Would you be interested?"
Had she heard correctly? Had her boss just transferred her to Dublin, Ireland? Everyone knows that you simply cannot refuse a transfer, especially if you are young, single and it is only for "a few months." Was she doomed to have constantly puffy hair for the foreseeable future?
"Elena, let me assure you, you are in no way obligated to accept. Think it over and let me know."
She knew he was lying. He was giving her time to process the information, but he expected her to pack her bags. And who was she kidding? She most likely would – after the shock would dissipate.
