Trophy Club is a small town in Texas located between the large cities Dallas and Fort Worth. Yes, everything really is bigger in Texas. Women's hair is bigger, our trucks are bigger, our football fields are massive and anything that we do, we do bigger. And to answer the big question in your mind, no, you don't typically see people riding their horses to school, but you can't completely rule it out either. My 9 year old was just telling me yesterday about a man who got a traffic ticket for riding his horse down the road because he didn't know it was against the city ordinance. But that is neither here nor there.
In keeping with the tradition of "bigger", our town has a large flag pole displayed prominently at the entrance to the town. It has a large American flag which waves proudly at all times. It is most beautiful at night. I truly enjoy driving home late so I can enjoy it's beauty. There's a large spotlight which shines up the pole lighting the entire flag. The brightly lit flag against the dark night sky is just awe inspiring. It is the contrast of light against dark, along with the bold proclamation of what the flag stands for, that humbles you.
Think about your life. What do you stand for? What values and core attributes do you have waving in the wind for the world to see? What bold stance are you making? Are you being light in a dark and fallen world? Do you shine brightly in the night sky?
I encourage you today to proudly wave your flag for Christ for all to see. Wave your flag at the top of the flagpole and rejoice for having the freedom in which you can proclaim the love of Christ openly. Don't blend in with the night sky. Be lit up with the spotlight of love, joy, hope, mercy and grace for the hurting world around you.
If more Christians would hoist their flag, turn on the spotlight and be intentional with spreading God's love, joy, hope, mercy and grace, imagine how different our world would be. Be that change.
John 8:12 – Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."
Matthew 5:16 – In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.
John 1:5 – The light shines in the darkness and the darkness has not overcome it.
John 8:12 – When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."
John 1:5-9 – This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. If we claim to have fellowship with him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin. If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.
Luke 8:16-18 – No one after lighting a lamp covers it with a jar or puts it under a bed, but puts it on a stand, so that those who enter may see the light. For nothing is hidden that will not be made manifest, nor is anything secret that will not be known and come to light. Take care then how you listen, for to the one who has, more will be given, and from the one who has not, even what he thinks that he has will be taken away.

Hello. I am completing a journal manuscript that requires the TF-L Chicago-UK footnotes only output style, but I am having some trouble in that it is outputting all of the references as endnotes rather than footnotes. I have attached the .ens file here. I am on a Mac, using Endnote X7.7 and MS Word for Mac 2011. Has anyone had this problem or something similar, and if so can you offer any advice on how to fix the problem?
10-04-2016 10:23 AM - edited 10-04-2016 10:23 AM
Are you using the word processor to insert the footnotes, or inserting them in-text? --
If the former, than the endnote/footnote settings are set by the word processing program and you can change them to the foot of the page, rather than at the end of the document.
If the latter, then they aren't footnotes -- You are using the citation template to put in a citation, and the bibliography will appear at the end of the document.
I think someone once wrote a macro to convert endnote citations to footnotes and a TR person said that they also had some tools to make the converstion between the two.

In Detroit, more than 1,500 cyclists turn up every week for Slow Roll, a group bicycle ride that explores neighborhoods throughout the city. The laidback ride became so popular that it eventually expanded to Chicago, and now a Slow Roll-inspired ride is coming to Memphis.
The Memphis Medical District Collaborative (MMDC) and the Downtown Memphis Commission (DMC) have partnered to launch Freewheel, a bi-weekly, free, slow ride through neighborhoods in their districts.
"Slow rides have become pretty popular in the past few years as really intentional, very slow, group rides, like eight miles per hour. They're used to connect neighborhoods and people," said Sara Studdard, project manager for Explore Bike Share at Doug Carpenter and Associates. "We're using that model to really highlight all of the great things happening downtown and to show how close downtown is to the Medical District."
Each ride will have a different theme. Some will be destination-based, which Studdard said might involve the group riding to a park for a picnic or to a bar for a few beers. Other rides will be exploration-based, meaning the ride will have a tour guide and can be a learning experience.
"For one, we'll ride to Victorian Village and get a historical tour and talk about what may happen in that area in the future," Studdard said.
The first ride will be a tour of the Medical District with a talk on the past, present, and future of that area led by MMDC President Tommy Pacello. It's scheduled for 6 p.m. on Wednesday, September 7th.
- Freewheel has 30 rehabbed, vintage bikes.
Future themes will include a music history ride, an exploration of downtown and the Pinch District (with a stop at Loflin Yard), and a tour focusing neighborhood connections with downtown and the Medical District. Ride dates are set for September 21st, October 5th and 19th, and November 2nd. A new Freewheel season will begin again in March of next year.
"Memphis has this really exciting and interesting bike culture," said Abby Miller, director of programs and data for the Medical District Collaborative. "We want to encourage more people to understand the great bike routes we have and how safe and exciting the area is. We're not just one neighborhood, but we're a collection of neighborhoods, like the Edge, Victorian Village, and Peabody/Vance."
Cyclists will meet at 600 Monroe in the Edge neighborhood, next door to High Cotton Brewing Co. Riders can bring their own bikes, but there will be 30 rehabbed, vintage bikes available for use on a first-come, first-served basis at no cost. The bikes were donated to the MMDC and salvaged and repaired by the Carpenter Street Bike Shop in Binghampton, which trains young people in marketable skills.
"If you work downtown and don't want to schlup your bike downtown or don't have access to a bike, you'll be able to reserve, as part of your registration, one of these bikes. They'll be maintained and have air in the tires, and there are a variety of sizes and comfort levels," Studdard said.
The rides are designed to be safe and welcoming for cyclists of all skill levels, and Studdard said each ride will include support volunteers who can assist those who aren't comfortable riding in the street. Plus, there's safety in numbers, said Doug Carpenter, who is helping to promote the rides.
"You're riding in a group, so you basically take over the road. It's a big mass, like a giant snail moving down the road," he said.
Leslie Gower, director of marketing with the DMC, said the slow group rides may have the added benefit of helping people become more comfortable riding in the street.
"Memphis is growing into this amazing bicycle-oriented city, but a lot of people have a bit of anxiety about riding their bicycles in urban settings," Gower said. "Freewheel is a great way to make people feel more at ease navigating on city streets and to help create better connections between the Edge neighborhood and the downtown core."

Matthew 20:17-28
It is a bold request that the mother of the sons of Zebedee made of Jesus; ask for places of honor for her sons within the kingdom of God. Amazingly, Jesus did not rebuke her or her sons. Instead, Jesus put forth his own question; "Are you able to drink the cup that I am to drink?" Jesus knew the cup he was given by his Father meant he would suffer and die for the sake of God's people. The cup he is to drink is the cup of God's salvation, a cup that comes with a cost.
Jesus asks, "Can you drink the cup?" In Faith we answer "Yes, but how?" Jesus gives clear instructions; deny yourself and take up your cross. Drinking the cup of Christ means suffering with him, serving others, enduring hardship, and having faith that God will equip us to do these things. It means putting away our selfish ambitions and extending our hands to meet the needs of the poor, hungry and lost. Drinking the cup means loving God and loving neighbor first, offering our lives to Christ in order to gain life in God's kingdom.
Can you drink the cup? With God's help, yes you can.
Prayer: O Lord, give us the strength and the will to drink your cup, that we may follow Jesus' example of love and service for the sake of others. Amen.
Today's devotion was written by David Nuottila, Pastor of Union Lutheran Church, Salisbury, NC.

In 1950 when I was 10 years old we moved to Alderwood Manor, WA. I remember driving down that gravel road and as we neared the property, I saw these magnificent tall Poplar trees. Their leaves were waving to me and clapping in celebration of our arrival. There were six running along the road on each side of the driveway. As you turned into the driveway there was a slight rise with pasture on the right and an apple orchard on the left. The house originally had been a small with just one bedroom, but my older brothers and my uncle Bert, who was a general contractor, had taken the back of a huge chicken coop and attached it to the side of the house adding a large living room and another bedroom. They had built a porch out front, but no stairs to get up to it. In fact, I don't remember there even being a door to get out to it.
You entered thru the back porch which was enclosed and the home of mom's washer and the table where she separated the milk. This is also where a bathroom had been added. In there was a large old tub, but no heat. In the winter, we had an electric heater, but in the summer, no need. I don't remember doing a lot of bathing; I think it was a Sunday night thing.
From the back porch you entered the kitchen, a long narrow room with windows facing the driveway. Across that driveway was a circle of Lilac bushes with a beautiful white Birch tree in the center. There were Daffodils planted in that circle and they would pop up in the spring to tell us it was time to come out and play.
There was a long building next to that circle which contained a wood shed, a tool storage shed and an old outhouse. Never having seen an outhouse before, I was quite fascinated at first, but was more than happy not to have to use it.
There was still enough of the chicken house left for mom to fill it with laying hens. There was a giant (to me) fir tree between the chicken house and our home and I can remember climbing it once and getting so sticky with the sap I decided never to do that again.
We had a big cherry tree with large dark cherries and I would sit up in the branches eating these delightful goodies until I felt sick and had to climb down and lay in the grass below. There were at least five Greenstein Apple trees in our little orchard and the apples were huge and juicy. I would bite into one and the juice would run down my arm. Mom made incredible apple pies and other baked goodies from them and canned jars and jars of applesauce.
There was a basement under the old part of the house and it was filled with shelves of canned goods that the former owners had left behind. I don't remember mom ever throwing out any of the old stuff, she just added her new jars.
The kitchen was a long narrow room with a counter than ran the whole length, under the windows, up to the sink and beyond to the turn for the stove. That section of counter between the sink and the stove had these giant bins that tipped out. They were for flour and sugar. I think they would hold about 50 pounds each. I remember one year, mom's Siamese cat had her kittens in the sugar bin and mom had to throw out the whole bin. I can remember her washing the kittens with a smile and a laugh at her cat

Just read an article in the Oct. 2008 Awake! and it appears seeds are being planted to announce Jah's feminine side sometime in the future. I suppose this will align with the Land Conservation--Mother Gaia Eco-Religion that is falling into place behind the scenes.
On pg. 24 the subtitle : Is God Male or Female?
(God, these people are so absurdly hung up on sexual natures!)
"...Bible writers were divinely inspired to use human characteristics to refer to the Almighty. This does not mean we should take these terms literally any more than we would Biblical reference to God as "the Rock," "a sun", or "a shield"."
It is an evil psychological ploy when words convey one meaning and illustrations are in direct conflict.
WT does this consistently.
There is something primordial about images; they seem to override words and become implanted in the brain as the message.
What does this say about a publishing corporation using these tactics to deliberately to confuse and mislead people?
Have we not all seen the WT renderings of a manly Zeus God depicted sitting on a throne?
Have we not seen WT renderings of a macho Jehovah with a sledge hammer just waiting to knock us all to Kingdom Come for our sorry sinful misdeeds?
If God is a spirit, having no human likeness in form, and no sexuality, then why has Watchtower always depicted this Jehovah with raging hormones...enough testosterone to grow a full beard and manly muscles and power to swing a medieval morningstar weapon?
Clearly, WT has been misleading people as to the true nature of god if they have always acknowledged him as a spirit. A spirit would not even be considered as a creature. Would it?
If God has no human form, and no sexual identity, then who is this God who sat under a tree and ate lunch with Abraham? (Gen. 18:1)
Will WT tell us stories of how God assumes shape and gender to suit his/her purpose? Perhaps he could even be Reptilian?
How many more surprises and cards up the sleeve does WT hold?
The article goes on to say..."Just as assigning human features to God is not to be understood literally" (nevermind the scriptures say man was created in his image).."use of the masculine gender to describe God should not be taken literally."
Could this be planting the seed of revealing the feminine side of Jehovah at some later date? A Mother Earth type god for the New Dawn? It certainly appears to me that the door is being left open to the flux of gender changes and an androgenous god.
The magazine goes on to take more scripture out of context.
"...joint heirs with Christ in his heavenly kingdom do not expect to retain their human gender when they are glorified as sons (ahem!) of god.
The apostle Paul reminded them that "there is neither male nor female" within their ranks when they become glorified..."
Please correct me if I am wrong. I remember seeing scripture that reads there will be no giving in marriage in the heavens, but I do not recall the scripture saying that people will have no gender form.
If WT is making a lame attempt to quote from this scripture:
"There are neither Jews nor Greeks, slaves nor free people, males nor females. You are all the same in Christ Jesus." (Galatians 3:28)
This simply means there will be no class, race, or gender distinction to cause divisions among people. This verse speaks of uniform equality, not formless invisible spirits.

Data visualization is a process wherein data is shown in a simpler way in order for people to understand easily. Samples of data visualization tools include maps, graphs, pictures, and many more. There are many tools like this in the Internet, but none can be as effective as the 25 free visualization tools featured in this list. Some of these free visualization tools are being used for years now, while others are still new in the business.

Australian women's sevens 'shattered' after shock defeat for silver
Australian women's sevens coach Tim Walsh said he was "shattered" to see New Zealand get their Rio revenge by edging his side in extra-time of an attritional Commonwealth Games gold medal match.
After finishing regular time tied at 12-12, Australia had their chances to clinch a match-winning try and triumph over their trans-Tasman rivals, like they did two years ago at the Rio Olympics, but Kelly Brazier's spectacular 85m solo effort resigned the home nation to a silver medal.
It is the end of an era for the Australian women's sevens team, who will farewell Walsh after five years at the helm. "Pretty shattered," Walsh said. "They gave it everything and we didn't get the result. Very disappointed. We had our chances ... and so did New Zealand as well. It was frustrating but exciting.
"It was adrenaline, on the edge of your seat the whole time. It was a really good spectacle for the sport. We would have preferred the win. I don't like losing so I'm probably a bit flat around that but the whole five years as head coach, I don't think that'll hit me until probably next week when the girls are away. It's been an incredible five years."
Trailing 12-0 in the second half, Australia looked shot. Their captain, Shannon Parry, was off the field with an injury, while star player Charlotte Caslick had been forced off because a head knock and was unable to return.
There was a lack of polish about the Australians but like we have seen so often, there was a courageous fightback. With three minutes to go, Emilee Cherry scored, before Ellia Green brought the local crowd to their feet with a scintillating try down the right edge.
Australia had a conversion attempt to go ahead, but missed. However, there was a moment of confusion to follow. With scores locked at 12-12 and the full-time siren having sounded, Australia's Cassie Staples booted the ball out. It brought back memories of the Greg Inglis' field goal attempt when Souths were trailing by two points against the Dragons a few years back.
Staples' teammates couldn't believe what they were seeing. Clearly, she thought Australia were in front and the mortified look on her face said it all. It was one of those "what if" moments. "There was many mistakes in that game, that was one of them," Walsh said. "Things in sport and life go wrong. You've just got to park them and learn off them later."
There were tears before and after this epic final that will be remembered for years to come. With the national anthem blaring through Robina Stadium, Caslick, Australia's golden girl, was in tears. She was perhaps overawed by the hometown support. There was no shortage of it.
In the moments after the defeat, there were more tears in the Australian camp, and rightly so. The passion they played with was exemplary.
Meanwhile, in the men's competition, Australia finished fifth overall after thumping Scotland 26-0 and Kenya 33-5 on the final day of action.
Andy Friend officially bowed out as head coach after two up and down years in the top job.
Injuries and a one-punch attack on James Stannard may have affected the team's preparations heading into the Games but Friend was looking on the bright side of life afterwards.
"I'm really grateful for the opportunity I had," Friend said. "It's been a great two and a bit years.
"I'm keen to still coach. I was told once when I was sacked: 'you're just a jockey Friendy, get on another horse'. I'll try and get on another horse somewhere."

CHARLOTTE, NC: "Deck the halls with boughs of holly, fa-la-la-lah, la-la-lah, 'Tis the season to be jolly, fa-la-la-lah, la-la-lah." We all know the words, but Christmas is hardly a time filled with joy and happiness. Not when the new Puritan Grinches lurk in the shadows taking political correctness to new holiday lows. Destroying the joy because, like the Grinch, their hearts are just three sizes too small.
Rodney King famously asked once, "Can't we all just get along?" Apparently not.
Christmas is an ideal time to raise the ugly spectre of holiday controversy.
Even religions that normally get along somehow seem to clash during the winter holiday season. Be it a dispute over using the word "Christmas" or "holiday", whether it's all right to speak of Santa Claus or even if it's acceptable to sing carols or display a creche.
Perhaps it is the Pilgrims fault. After all the folks who came to our shores in 1620 fled because of religious persecution. However, they did not celebrate Christmas and Easter. Difficult as it may be to believe, it's true. Pilgrims were Puritans in the strictest sense of the word with strong beliefs against religious holidays.
Since the scriptures made no mention of any holidays other than the Sabbath, the idea of honoring "holy days" carried the connotation that some days were, therefore, not holy.
Puritans followed their traditional adage which claimed,
"They for whom all days are holy can have no holiday."
So contemptuous were the Puritans of Christmas, the would call it "Foolstide," banning followers from any celebrations throughout the 17th and 18th centuries.
During the first Christmas at Plymouth, the Puritans worked their fields
just as they did every other day of the year.
The following year, Gov. William Bradford punished a group of non-Puritan workers for playing a baseball-like game called "stoole-ball" on Christmas,
Opined Bradford, "My conscience cannot let you play while everybody else is out working."
Banning Christmas: Puritans standing against medieval England's festivities
One of the biggest Puritanical objections was that Christmas was a wildly festive occasion in medieval England, which went against their strict beliefs. Wealthy landowners doled out food and drink to the poor during the season and the poorest man in the parish earned the title "Lord of Misrule."
Feasts frequently erupted into wild drunken parties which went completely against the ideals of the pious religious purists.
Anti-Christmas sentiment became so widespread in England that Parliament banned the holiday for 15 years in 1645, reinstating it in 1660.
New England settlers followed suit by outlawing Christmas in 1659, a ban which remained in effect until the 1680's.
Work or be fined
Citizens caught not working were forced to pay heavy fines. Thus the "Scrooge-like" Puritans were the forerunners to Charles Dickens now famous story A Christmas Carol (1843). Note, however, that even Dickens did use "Christmas" in his title.
The Puritan controversies are not the only ones associated with the Christmas season, however. In 2007, American hardware chain Lowe's published its catalog referring to Christmas trees as "holiday trees." In fact, both the United States and Canada have received mixed reactions since the 1980s for changing the name Christmas trees to "holiday trees."
Banning the word Christmas
The same is true of the expression "Happy Holidays" rather than "Merry Christmas."
In one notable instance in 2005, Boston officially called their tree a "holiday tree" bringing the wrath of the tree farmer from Nova Scotia who had donated it to the city. The farmer angrily told Boston he would rather have put the tree into a wood chipper than have it called a "holiday tree."
In 2012 in the Belgian capital of Brussels, the local Christmas Market became "Winter Pleasures" in order to appease the Muslim minority in the city.
Many retailers and businesses have also been caught up in the political correctness feeding frenzy. They choose to substitute the word "Christmas" in their advertising with"holiday." Since 2005, Sears, Walmart, Target, Best Buy, Chase Bank and Wachovia Bank among others have all felt the ire of holiday confrontations.
Home Depot suffered a backlash in 2008 for using "holiday" and "Hanukkah" on their website while avoiding the use of "Christmas."
The city of Philadelphia removed the word "Christmas" from two of its signs at the Philadelphia Christmas Village in 2010. After organizers complaints, "Christmas" was back.
Of course, the controversy has further been fueled by the fact that Donald Trump made the statement in 2015, "If I become president, we're all going to be saying 'Merry Christmas' again."
In addition to secular objections, some churches and organizations also reject the observance of the holidays. Such communities include Jehovah's Witnesses, True Jesus Church, Church of God (7th-Day) and Christian Congregation in the United States to name a few.
A Santa Claus by any other name
Obviously, the most predominant criticism comes from Muslim countries.
In Turkey, for example, a secular version of Christmas has been adopted with a Santa Claus figure known as Noel Baba who is derived from the French Père Noël.
Russia also has a Santa substitute who arrives after Christmas as Father Frost and is usually accompanied by the Snow Maiden.
All of which means that political correctness continues to run amok within the hearts of dissenters who find ultimate joy as they "Deck the halls with poison ivy."
Personally, I refuse to participate in the debate. It is just a bunch of bah humbug.

My front yard is mostly slope and very sunny. I'm wondering what my options are for groundcover (vinca minor okay for full sun?) -- I see a lot of ivy on sunny slopes in Birmingham, as well as juniper. I'm not too fond of juniper -- at least a yard full of it. I'm looking for something that's attractive as well as low maintenance. I'm wondering about combining ivy, straw, vinca, bearded iris, ornamental grasses, and even wildflowers. Now, I realize I've thrown some things in here that may not be possible nor may they be easy to design or put together. I'm also up for something as simple as just vinca minor (if it works in full sun) against some straw for a bit of shaping (I know what I mean but don't know how to put it.).
The house is a 1955 rancher, standing two stories in the front (if a rancher can be 2 stories in the front). About 25 feet in front of the house, the slope flattens and remains flat to the house. An oak stands approximately two-fifths of the way from the driveway across the yard. A white dogwood stands to the left of the oak near the drive way and sidewalk.
Currently, I have someone mow the lawn because it's just too steep for me. Alas, I'm afraid I let it grow a month before getting it cut again, and it gets very overgrown by then.
Thanks for any ideas! I will need to hire someone to actually do the work, and I have no idea how much I'll be paying. I'd actually like to have this done for around $1,000. Is this possible?

Today I want to chat about food prescriptions. "Food prescriptions? Really? There's such a thing?" YES. Food prescriptions. Did you know that wise scientists have actually studied whether it's more cost-effective to prescribe FOOD to chronically-ill patients rather than just the medication? Yep. They have. And, you know what they found? Well, first, let's step back for a moment and recognize the fact that, unlike most of their traditionally-trained peers, these doctors and scientists know that it's much wiser to treat the SYSTEMS that are creating the SYMPTOMS rather than just try to treat the symptoms themselves without addressing the underlying CAUSE of all the issues. Yes. Of course, you can give someone medication to try to manage their diabetes. Or you can give medication to try to mitigate their blood pressure issues or whatever else is ailing them. But… Wouldn't it be a LOT wiser to figure out what's CAUSING these issues and address THAT? (It's kinda obvious when you say it loud, eh?) So… To bring the point home, let's imagine a tree whose leaves are turning brown. It's clearly not doing well. But you don't know why. You're not a gardener so you call in an expert. What would you say if that guy took a look at your brown-leaved tree then reached into his bag to pull out a can of green spray paint and then started painting your brown leaves green? Then, after he finished the job, he wrote you a prescription to go to the local hardware store to get a can of green paint and told you to apply x sprays a day and you'd be fine? Uhhh… We'd be like, "Dude. Are you INSANE?" (Laughing.) And, well… Ummm… Hate to break the news to you but, for as GREAT as traditional medicine is for ACUTE issues like broken bones and things like that (I say it again: God bless Dr. D for fixing me!!), they're pretty much just as bad at dealing with CHRONIC issues like broken insulin and things like that. So… Back to the research on food prescriptions. Our wise doctors and scientists decided to apply some common sense (yet not commonly-practiced) wisdom and think about the big picture and the root causes of chronic diseases. And, important note: These guys and gals ALSO KNOW that food IS medicine. So… They ran some studies and prescribed food as medicine. And… They discovered it's WAY MORE COST EFFECTIVE to prescribe FOOD rather than just rely on the medicine. Oh. And, bonus: Of course, food prescriptions can only reduce sick-care costs because it ALSO restores the patients' health and vitality. Nice side effect, eh?! We'll share some details on that research in tomorrow's +1. For Today. Got any Food Prescriptions you need to write for yourself (and for your family)? Here's the prescription pad. Have fun with that!
Eric Butterworth was a prolific author and Unity minister—one of the great spiritual teachers of the 20th century. We featured another one of his books called Spiritual Economics. That one transformed my consciousness around money/ambition/etc. (I *highly* recommend it.) Butterworth was also Maya Angelou's spiritual teacher. And, Oprah says that this book is one of her all-time favorites. Big Ideas we explore: Where to find the Divine (hint: look within!), the great decision, the true meaning of "meek" (it's not what you think), going the second mile, and how to create a heaven (or hell) right NOW!

My wife Alexandra has been a huge fan of Marie's for a long time. I knew she was awesome. But... As I told Alexandra: "I had no idea Marie was THAT awesome!!!" My excuse: I've been in hermit-mode and have done nothing but read books for 5 years (no blogs/videos/etc.) so I wasn't able to get the full sense of Marie's heroically brilliant and grounded and HILARIOUS power until this book came out. I've read and created PhilosophersNotes on well over 500 books. This is one of my ABSOLUTE (!) favorites of all time. I HIGHLY (!!!) recommend it. It's in the same league as some of my other favorites like Deep Work Atomic Habits and The 5 Second Rule. (In fact, on my chalkboard right now, I actually have "EVERYTHING IS FIGUREOUTABLE" right above "5-4-3-2-1-GO!"
Today we chat about missing the ol' mark on the 3:00 last-input target. And simply recommitting. And... Finished Phase I of the Handbook construction process. Scaffolding is in place. Fired up. (Just noticed this is #50. Time flies when you're having fun!) As always:
Get instant (free) access to all 600+ PhilosophersNotes AND all 50 Optimal Living 101 classes AND 1,000+ Optimize +1s as part of our free 2-week trial: http://optimize.me/
"Positive Psychology and the Body." Unfortunately, those two subjects are rarely connected--which is why I was so excited to get this book when I saw the title. It's actually a *textbook* not a normal book. It provides an overview of research on a range of subjects including: "Positive Psychophysiology," "Positive Neuroscience," "Positive Sexuality" and "Positive Nutrition." Big Ideas we explore include a quick look at Martin Seligman's PERMA approach to eudaimonic (vis-a-vis hedonic) happiness, your nervous system (flip the switch!), longevity and positive emotion (some astonishing stats), diet and wellbeing/depression (sugar begone!), and physical activity (science says: it does a body good!).
Did you know there are 101 days left in 2020. Yep. Time to finish strong. I share a little on how I'm going to do that with the Handbook, etc. How about YOU?
Afternoon edition of our #1 post 6 hours of DEEP Work on the Handbook. We chat about some creative systems and do the quick Oura review.
I've been eagerly awaiting for my dear friend Pilar Gerasimo to write a book that captures her wisdom on how to Optimize our lives and give the world all we've got. And... The wait is over! Pilar is one of the wisest people I know. Among many other things, she created Experience Life magazine (which currently reaches over 3 million people per year) and is the co-host of the Living Experiment podcast with Dallas Hartwig (co-founder of Whole30). The lead quote for this book perfectly captures the thesis of the book. It's from Jiddu Krishnamurti. He tells us: "It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society." Yep. That's about right. In a society in which the VAST majority of us are sick and tired and anxious and depressed and, well, blah... IT IS NO MEASURE OF HEALTH TO BE WELL ADJUSTED TO THAT SICK SOCIETY. (Right?) Enter: The Healthy Deviant. This "Rule Breaker's Guide" is packed with Big Ideas on how we can "Be Healthy in an Unhealthy World."
In our last +1, we got our inner Freak on as we spent some time with Dav!d Rendall and learned to embrace constraints as we reminded ourselves to approach this whole game of life as Optimalists rather than Perfectionists—using our ideals as GUIDING STARS not distant shores. We explored the value of constraints on a high level. I promised to talk about the idea in a little more detail in terms of choosing what we want to do with our lives AND in the day-to-day of actually making things happen. So… Dav!d kicks off the chapter on the power of limiting our options with a quote from Seth Godin who tells us: "You really can't try to do everything, especially if you intend to be the best in the world." Amen. And, as I read this chapter I thought of chats I had back in the day with Steve Chandler when he and I worked 1-on-1. He loved Alan Watts's wisdom that tennis is more fun with a court (constraints!) and Igor Stravinsky's wisdom that "The more constraints one imposes, the more one frees oneself. And the arbitrariness of the constraint serves only to obtain precision in the execution." As I searched the ol' database of 600+ Notes on my Mac to find that Stravinsky quote, I found this parallel wisdom from Austin Kleon's Steal Like an Artist. He tells us: "In this age of information abundance and overload, those who get ahead will be the folks who figure out what to leave out, so they can concentrate on what's really important to them. Nothing is more paralyzing than the idea of limitless possibilities. The idea that you can do anything is absolutely terrifying. The way to get over creative block is to simply place some constraints on yourself. It seems contradictory, but when it comes to creative work, limitations mean freedom... The right constraints can lead to your very best work. My favorite example? Dr. Seuss wrote The Cat in the Hat with only 236 different words, so his editor bet him he couldn't write a book with only 50 different words. Dr. Seuss came back and won the bet with Green Eggs and Ham, one of the bestselling children's books of all time." (btw: As I reread that, I thought of our Note on the brilliant biography Dr. Seuss and Mr. Geisel where we talk about those exact same constraints. Check it out!) As I chat about in our Notes on Steal Like an Artist, I LOVE constraints. They are my friend (when I remember them). Obvious constraints I use creatively include: Each PhilosophersNote is SIX pages long. Not 3 or 8 or 12 or... SIX. The +1s are short and sweet not crazy long. (Except for the rare +11. lol) The Optimal Living 101 classes and Mastery Series sessions? They're each 10 Ideas and around an hour. Not 3 or 7 or 14 or 22. TEN! (Hah.) Today's +1. Back to YOU. What limitations can you impose on yourself? How can you CONSTRAIN your options more so you can enjoy your life more? Remember the Paradox of Choice. And The Illusion of Choice. Simplify. Go all in. On being your best. TODAY.
Mark Hyman, MD, is head of strategy for the Cleveland Clinic Center for Functional Medicine and board president for the Institute for Functional Medicine. He is also the bestselling author of a number of books, including Eat Fat, Get Thin. This is a very important and equally sobering book. As Mark says: "If we were to identify one big lever to pull to improve global health, create economic abundance, reduce social injustice and mental illness, restore environmental health, and reverse climate change, it would be transforming our entire food system. That is the most important work of our time—work that must begin now." In the Note we take a quick look at the dysfunction of the food system and how to fix it while talking about the #1 thing YOU can do TODAY to address it. We also chat about the fact that your food label may be lying to you, the ENORMOUS amount of money the junk food industry spends on junk science (think: $12 BILLION) and the social justice issues of food.
Today we tap into some insights after a good night of sleep, chat briefly about Surveillance Capitalism (and Digital Minimalism) before I share the first steps in my new book: OPTIMIZE - A Handbook for the Modern Hero.
Today we have fun meeting the new Optimize (Hero) (Virtue) Compass and I share some interesting HRV and RHR data over last three days looking at effects of last meal, ice baths, etc.
I'm a big fan of Tom Rath and his work. And... I'm not alone. His 10 books have sold over 10 million copies. Dan Pink (author of Drive and When) calls him "One of the most successful nonfiction writers of his generation." We featured two of his earlier books: Eat Move Sleep and Are You Fully Charged? Plus: His children's book called The Rechargeables remains one of my all-time favorites. "Life's Great Question" that beckons all of us ("What can I contribute?") is beautifully framed by the Martin Luther King, Jr. quote that kicks off the book: "Life's most persistent and urgent question is: What are you doing for others?" This book is a field manual to help us go about answering that question so we can, as per the subtitle of the book: "Discover How You Contribute to the World." Big Ideas we explore include creating a sense of urgency in life, Purpose 2.0, connecting what we do to those we serve, undivided attention (our new secret weapon), and creating the energy to be our best.
After a very brief retirement, I'm back. lol. Missed you. Let's goooo! As always: Get instant (free) access to all 600+ PhilosophersNotes AND all 50 Optimal Living 101
I got this book immediately after finishing Admiral McRaven's first book, Make Your Bed: Little Things That Can Change Your Life... And Maybe the World. That one's a quick-reading little book on the ten lessons McRaven learned in his SEAL training that we can all apply to our modern lives. It was fantastic. I had a strong feeling this memoir on his "Life in Special Operations" would be just as good. It is. As per the back cover, "Admiral William H. McRaven is a part of American military history, having been involved in some of the most famous missions in recent memory, including the capture of Saddam Hussein, the rescue of Captain Richard Phillips, and the raid to kill Osama bin Laden." McRaven is a brilliant story teller with, as you can imagine, an incredible array of stories to tell. But that's not why I loved this book so much. I loved it because reading it made me want to be a better human being. If you enjoy autobiographies and appreciate the military heroes who serve our country as much as I do, I think you'll love the book as much as I did.
In our last couple +1s, we've been chatting about Trevor Moawad's wisdom on what he calls "neutral thinking." We started by hanging out with Russell Wilson en route to winning a Super Bowl. Then we visited the Johnson Ranch to discuss my relationship with our new chickens and their poop. (Yes, I can't get enough of those emojis…) So… The morning after that chat I had with Emerson about how to approach the chicken situation either negatively, positively, or neutrally, we were doing our family workout—which currently features me chasing the kids on their bikes as we have fun going around the 1/2-mile Trail-loop we created around our property. Only… This morning, Emerson's bike had a flat tire. He immediately started crying—super bummed he wouldn't be able to ride his epic lime green (lol) bike around the Trail as planned. So… I cruised over and said, "Buddy! Your tire's flat. That's a bummer. I get it. And.. Remember that chat we had last night about neutral thinking?" Emerson: "Yah." Me: "Well…. Let's get neutral! WHAT DO YOU WANT?" He said, "To ride my bike." I said, "Exactly. So what can we do to make that happen?" He said, "Get the bike pump and fill up the tire." I said, "Exactly." We cruised into the barn, found it. Pumped up the tire. The air surprisingly held.
Today we hit the pause button on the ol' #1s as it's taking a little more Energy + Focus than I'm willing to give it vis-a-vis my truly What's Important Now targets. I think I'll be back with these near the end of the year to make sure we're wrapping up 2020 with antifragile ferocity and getting ready to make 2021 THE Greatest Year of our Lives.
In the meantime, PNTVs every day thru end of year. And Top 3 kicking off October 1st. LET'S! DO!! THIS!!!

In our last +1, we spent some more time with Trevor Moawad and explored some more wisdom from his great book, It Takes What It Takes. As you may recall, we chatted about neutral thinking. As Trevor says: "No matter where I work, the same truth keeps emerging. Neutral thinking is the key to unlocking a set of behaviors that can turn also-rans into champions and champions into legends." Today I want to bring that wisdom to life with a little personal example from the Johnson Ranch here outside Austin. So… As I was reading the book, I took a break and explained this idea to Emerson. Here's the example I used: Our chickens. And their poop. Quick context: As we've discussed, we just moved to the country. We got some chickens because we thought they'd be awesome. They are. The kids love them, etc. And... Those gals (and guy) sure know how to poop! And, they seem to especially love to do their work under our beautiful back patio where I often meditate in the morning as the sun's rising. Let's just say that the meditation scene is slightly less idyllic with the chicken poop wafting up. (Hah.) So… Back to the book. I told Emerson that the guy who wrote the book had a dad who was really into all this stuff and taught him a bunch when he was a kid. I smiled and rubbed his awesome little head as I imagined what HE might have to say in a few decades. Then we talked about the difference between negative thinking, positive thinking and neutral thinking. I gave him an example of my own negative thinking as it related to those chickens and their poop. (Note: That's always one of the best ways to deliver a message. Start with our own shortcomings—don't start with someone else's!) My negative thinking went something like this: "Those chickens!!! Their poop STINKS!! Why do they need to hang out under the porch and then poop where they hang out? I think we might want to find them a new home." (He might have heard me say something along those lines more than once in my less-enlightened moments, so the example was quickly understood. lol) Then I told him that the "positive" thinking would go something like this: "It's not so bad and the chickens are so great." He immediately knew that that simply wasn't honest and true and wouldn't be the optimal approach. Then I told him that neither of those approaches was as effective as NEUTRAL thinking. Neutral thinking would go something like this: "The chickens are pooping under the patio. It stinks. The kids love them and we need a better solution. So, let's limit their access to that location and figure out a poop control protocol. Next step: Order some chicken wire for the bottom of the patio and install it."

Pulpectomy Mexico
A Pulpectomy is needed in the primary dentition to remove any diseased pulp tissues in the Crown area of the tooth. Once this pulp is removed the Specialists applies a disinfecting agent which acts to calm the nerve tissues still in the tooth and seals the canals. This is a treatment that is done by an Endodontist and is usually followed by a restoration such as a Crown or Composite Resin Filling.
Real Dental Tourist Patients that got Pulpectomy
Please watch what our patients have to say regarding their Pulpectomy treatment
Pulpectomy FAQ
This procedure involved the removal of certain portion of the pulp that is infected due to a number of reasons. The pulp, which is below the enamel, can get infected as the enamel was affected by decay and this decay has not gone that deep in to the tooth structure and there a chance to save the tooth without having to perform a Root Canal Therapy entirely.
As our standards are aligned globally to the best practices accepted in Canada, US and Mexico, they are performed with the utmost care and always with previous study and analysis by our specialists. The procedure involves administering local anesthesia on the area and the removal of the infected pulp of the tooth. Sometimes composite resin material is set in place after the infected tissue was removed. Some other time, patients would like to have an Inlay, an Onlay or a Crown depending the severeness of the case.
Pulpectomy Treatment Alternatives
If the tooth has been severely decayed to the gum line or if there tooth is found to be brittle upon physical evaluation we may have to extract the tooth to prevent from further infection.
Perhaps when removing the Amalgam Filling we have compromised the pulp chamber of the tooth. In this case a Root Canal would be needed, likely followed by a Post and Core Build Up and a Crown for the protection of the tooth from further fractures or filtration of bacteria.
Zygomatic Implants are Implants that are much longer in length than conventional Implants (40 mm – 50 mm), and are placed in the dense Zygoma bone or otherwise known as the cheekbone. The advantage of using Zygomatic Implants is that it eliminates the need for procedures like ridge augmentation (Bone Grafting) and/or Sinus Lifting, which would require more surgery and longer healing periods before the placement of the final restoration.
Mini Dental Implants in Mexico are a great option for patients that are not candidates for normal Implants. It is also a great option for the Snap on Dentures Treatment we offer. The Snap on Dentures treatment in Mexico is a one-trip solution were we will place either 4-8 Mini Implants and a Snap on Denture.
