Freshe Poke -1102 Huger St, Columbia, SC
Freshe Poke is one of those places that kind of does for sushi what Chipotle, Moe's, etc. have done for the burrito, which is deconstructed the rolled food, put it into a bowl, and make it choose your own ingredients fast food style. Just as burrito places were taking over around ten years ago, now is the age of the sushi bowl. That's not necessarily a bad thing.

Blaze Pizza -275 Park Terrace Dr Columbia, SC
Ok, so Blaze Pizza is a chain, but it's a chain that I've decided that I really like. The "make your pizza in front of you" restaurants are popping up all over the place, just like frozen yogurt stores were a few years ago, so it can be difficult to know which one has the best taste for your buck. Before going to see a movie with some friends from the First Young Professionals group, we decided to grab dinner. I had had a tumultuous few days and played no part in the decision making, but pizza sounded as good as anything. Continue reading →
The Devine Cinnamon Roll Deli – 2617 Devine St. Columbia, SC
You've probably already been to The Devine Cinnamon Roll Deli. With it's amazing food and great, friendly service, it didn't take long for locals and shortly after, The Food Network, to take notice of this gem. I would like to do the hipster thing and say that I discovered it right before it became huge. One Friday morning, I got up early, made my way over to Devine Street, and ordered 10 huge cinnamon rolls for the office. I met owner Jody Kreusch and even spoke to her about doing a food blog on the restaurant. She was enthusiastic about it, as was I, but things got in the way and I didn't make it back over there … until now.
Pizza Party! Domino's is doing better than you'd think.
Nothing conjures up feelings of childhood joy like a pizza party. I can still remember waiting with much anticipation and school for the rare treat of getting pizza in the afternoon for something that the class had won/accomplished. It maybe happened three times in my elementary school career, but nevertheless, it was awesome.
10th Annual Dessert Contest SPECIAL EDITION
The 10th Annual Orchestra Night and Dessert Contest was earlier this month and it was a great time once again. I talked a little junk beforehand and was beaten by two other ladies, Ada Raybon and Teresa Milne. Check out the little video below where I talk about my Brookie and the fact that neither Ada or Teresa would be in the video with me. Then get the recipes after the video.

Poke Bros. – 2009 Greene St #102, Columbia, SC
When one of my cooler-than-me designer friends breezed through Columbia from Nashville for a visit, she messaged me about meeting up. This is one of those friends who usually tells me where we're going, which is oddly nice for me since I'm often the one having to decide where to eat. Often she picks somewhere I haven't been or haven't been in a long while. She still enjoys the Five Points area, while I often avoid it. Because I'm old. And I don't like don't like being irritated. But Five Points has been getting some culinary upgrades and shouldn't be written off as just the college bar area anymore.

Pontiac House of Pizza – 10531 Two Notch Rd, Elgin, SC
It's not everyday that we make it out of our windowless office to see the bright sunshine, but a few weeks ago on the most blessed of days, our job required us to go on a shopping trip. We had to buy furniture and décor to create a set for the new online Bible study, so we met Megan (our volunteer style coordinator and shopper) and her daughter Georgia in Sandhills. By the time we got to the first store, Megan had already picked out most of the set. (Praise!) After hitting up a couple of other stores to search for the remaining items, it was lunch time, and we were hungry.

The Kingsman – 936 Axtell Drive, Cayce, SC 29033
As you may or may not remember from previous posts, the Music & Media Team likes to celebrate birthdays by eating together. We don't get to go out for everyone's birthday individually because we don't have time for all of that, but after a few birthdays accumulate, we normally make it out to celebrate. Debbie, Sylvia, Aaron, and Lauren all had birthdays that we needed to celebrate and today, May 25, was special because it was Mr. Steve's actual birthday.

Thank you, again for providing your services and critters for the Belmont Lions participation of the Belmont Town Day event. We had more kids this year than any previous year and they all enjoyed your petting zoos and presentations.
Tom Ferraro

Just a quick note to let you know that our handler was incredible at the party yesterday. He was so patient with the kids, answering all of their questions, and making sure that we got a chance to get good pictures of the birthday boy and his sister with the animals. We had a wonderful experience with Animal Adventures and will be sure to book this again for our daughter when she gets a little older!
Sarah Laybourn
I Just wanted to thank you for a terrific job today. The teachers were very impressed with Calvin. He was so great with the kids and the information he gave them. They loved Calvin and all his animal friends.
Memorial School Upton
I just wanted to tell how thrilled we were with the presentation at our boys' birthday party last weekend. Danielle was amazing with the kids and knew so much about the animals and fossils she was working with. Everyone was incredibly impressed. I honestly can say enough good things about Animal Adventures. Thank you for helping us make our boys' day so special. I think they (and their friends) will be talking about for a long time to come!

Joyce Manchino
St. Thomas School
I just wanted to pass along our gratitude for the amazing time we had at your facility on Saturday. My parents were in town from Arizona and we wanted to do something special with my son on their visit. I scheduled a private tour at 10 am on Saturday. We had never been to your site and did not know what to expect. I must say we were so thrilled with our experience that we can't wait to come back! My son (5 years old) was so enthralled with all of the animals and the ability to get up close with such exotic animals was a true treat. His favorite was Jackal the water monitor although he still keeps talking about everything else as well. On top of the animals we could not have asked for a better guide. Heather was informative and took the time to answer any questions that we might have had and spent almost two hours showing us all that you had to offer. It was a day that we will never forget and when the weather warms up we will be back this time with his other set of grandparents.
Brian Doherty
I wanted to say thank you. I recently took a tour with my four and six year old boys. The tour was incredible! The patience for my four year old was evident with his million questions. The tour guide, a man, seemed to know there was something with my oldest son. He has epilepsy and processes language slowly. He wouldn't get in line with other children, but this incredible tour guide always brought the animal to him at the end to pet. I was amazed! My boys and I loved it! My oldest is a natural with animals, he seems so happy and at peace around them- he loved your place!!! Thank you so much!!!!

We wanted to send you all a Thank you, especially to Scott. We had a wonder experience for our son's 6th birthday party yesterday. The kids as well as the adults were amazed at the facts we all learned from the animals that you all shared with us. We can't wait to make a visit to the zoo! Here are 2 pictures that you might like.

Trés Bright teeth whitening kits are your solution to achieving a perfect smile at home. The whitening gels are formulated to lift and remove years of surface and deep tooth stains. The LED light works to accelerate the whitening process by releasing just enough heat to help activate dental grade whitening gel ingredients.
We offer two choices when it comes to the whitening gel formulas based on your whitening needs.
Choose between the Carbamide Peroxide Gel or Peroxide-Free Gel-- both with guaranteed results.
18% Carbamide Peroxide
Our carbamide peroxide formula gel is a safe and effective alternative to teeth bleaching at a dentist's office. Teeth whitening using hydrogen peroxide is quick and efficient, but can only be administered by a dentist. This carbamide peroxide gel is the perfect home teeth whitening solution. Carbamide Peroxide breaks down into hydrogen peroxide in order to whiten your teeth, meaning it's gentler on your teeth and gums. This also means it needs a longer time to do its job. We recommend users to simply whiten their teeth for 20-30 minutes daily for 7 consecutive days to achieve your trés bright dentist-white smile!
This formula is recommended for people who fit any of the following:
aim to remove years of surface stains
wish to achieve a 'just-left-the-dentist' smile
want to see drastic results in 7 days
are whitening their teeth for the first time
Peroxide-Free Gel
We also offer a gentle yet powerful peroxide-free gel. The key ingredient, sodium perborate (PBS), is used by dentists to gently whiten teeth from the inside out. PBS also has antiseptic and disinfecting properties. Because of its gentler properties, we recommend leaving the gel on for 30-60 minutes each time to allow gel to reach its maximum whitening effect.
This formula is recommended for people who fit any of the following:
- have sensitive teeth
- want a gentle whitening process
- wish to maintain their already trés bright smile
- aim to prevent daily stains
- Prepare your teeth with a gentle brush.
- Attach mouth tray to whitening light.
- Apply a layer of gel onto the upper and lower mouth trays. Use just enough gel to cover the surface of each tooth to avoid contact with gums.
- Press the button on the light to begin 10 minute countdown.
- The LED light will automatically turn off after 10 minutes of whitening. You can simply turn on the light again for a longer whitening time.
- Rinse your mouth with warm water and clean off mouth tray to store for next use.
- Repeat the whitening process for 7 consecutive days to achieve best result.

As a child of God I have a special gift
It is a sacred truth that is for me and you
I can follow my Savior, I can follow His ways
And as I choose to do what's right

And someday when I go inside
My heart will be filled with light.

I will follow in His plan, with His help I know I can
I can share the gospel with love to everyone
I'll try with all my heart and might
I want to share my light
I want to share what I know is true
I want to be like Jesus
I want to do what is good and right
I want to share my light.

Before I write this post I want to make a small disclaimer that I am in no way trying to preach or force a particular lifestyle on anyone. This is what works for me – health wise and morally. I'm simply here to share my story and perhaps open a new window of curiosity. I also want to warn that this will be a longer read but I promise it will get you thinking.
Throughout my life, my relationship with food has been a mixed one. From being a picky eater and barely finishing my meals as a child to eating whatever and whenever as a teen, I was never particularly interested in knowing what went in my body – especially not if it hardly impacted my overall weight.
In 2014, my mom was experiencing some (luckily treatable) health issues and sought a naturopath who performed a series of food allergy tests and quickly opened her eyes to the effects of one's diet. He so vigorously stressed that almost all health related issues stem from the food you eat. I remember within the hour of my mom coming home from her appointment, the three of us raided our fridge and cupboards and got rid of everything processed. It was a drastic change for sure but on that day, we had made a personal vow to ourselves to become as informed as possible about what we eat. Soon after, my family adopted an organic lifestyle which included buying things like free run eggs, fresh chicken from a local farm, kefir, goat milk instead of cow milk, fermented kombucha and so on. None of us had any clue about veganism at this point.
I have to say though, living at home and being able to consume the foods my parents were purchasing was a massive plus because boy let me tell you, organic products are far from cheap. I felt a hard hit financially when I studied abroad in Paris and I definitely felt it living in Prague – although healthy food is something I don't ever mind spending more money on. This is a common misconception about veganism though. Eating plant based isn't necessarily more expensive than consuming animal products. The money you're spending on meats, cheeses and other animal products is allocated to more greens, fruits and protein based grains and legumes. Whether you're an omnivore or a vegan, it's the organics that shake up your wallet.
Between 2014 and a few months ago, I genuinely thought I had it all figured out in terms of living the healthiest lifestyle possible. I thought organic was the way to go. My grandparents grew up eating locally grown foods, my parents did too for more than half their lives and I was under the impression that despite Canada being a sponge for processed foods, I was making the right choices. That was until I tapped into the Pandora's Box of veganism.
Fast forward to March 2017, I was at a place in life where I was (and still am) open to anything and everything new. During this time, I also met an awesome sustainability-driven individual who introduced me to pescetarianism. "Pesce-what?" I said. Pescetarianism is just fancy terminology for vegetarians who don't consume meat but still eat fish. He explained his dietary choices from a sustainability point of view – agriculture being the #1 cause for climate change issues. Although I'd poke fun at him every time we'd share a vegetarian dish, his approach definitely inspired me to think twice. He recommended watching Cowspiracy – a documentary I'd heard about but avoided like the plaque thinking oblivion was bliss. That exactly, was the problem.
After watching Cowspiracy, I immediately went vegetarian and so did my parents – without slight hesitation. To anyone who hasn't seen the documentary and thinks it's purely about slaughter houses (like I did) you'd be surprised. The documentary's main premise lies in the idea of sustainability and the effects the meat and dairy industries have on the environment. It sheds light on how much information about such things our governments and large environmental organizations such as Green Peace or WWF hide from us, in the interest of protecting their multi billion dollar profits from these industries. I've known for a long time that our dietary recommendations are funded by large corporations who hold vast interests in promoting whatever sells (aka food-like food) in affiliation with pharmaceutical companies (cough mafia cough) but before I start to get too passionate and deviate, my point is that if you're in any way interested in sustainability in conjunction with what you put in your body, Cowspiracy is a must watch.
As Howard Lyman, an animal rights activist, perfectly summed it up, "you can't call yourself an environmentalist and eat meat. Period."
The reason we initially went vegetarian and not vegan was purely because of FOMO on cheese. I thought, there is no way I could ever give up Parmesan pesto or fresh Slovak sheep cheese. However, I did believe that by cutting out only meat I would still be able to live sustainably while making a positive impact on my health and the environment. This again, was before I had any idea about the horrifying effects of both meat AND dairy consumption.
After a week of going vegetarian, I had come across a follow-up documentary released by the same producers of Cowspiracy called 'What the Health'. One Sunday afternoon, after indulging in my mom's mayonnaise potato salad, we had decided to watch it. This documentary is all it took to go vegan. I mean that without any exaggeration. It was that easy to rewire the way I thought about food. If there is ever something I wish I could gift not only my close circle of friends and family, but also the world with, it's easily the information presented in this documentary. It changed my entire life.
Unlike Cowspiracy, What the Health focuses more on the health impacts of meat and dairy consumption – how it leads to cardiovascular diseases, cancer, diabetes, ovarian and prostate issues, and anything you can possibly think of that people die from unnecessarily. Of course there are hereditary illnesses, but 7/10 of them can be prevented with a plant-based diet. This was a huge revelation for me. Learning about the benefits of a plant-based diet – increased levels of energy, healthy mind, healthy BODY, sustainable and ethical living and so on – made me realize that there was no way I could ignore the control I was given to thrive in and for life.
Going vegan was hands down one of the best decisions I've made. Not only for myself, but also for the environment, the animals and the people around me who have been so wonderfully open to listen to my thoughts and engage in fair and interesting discussions.
Combining plant-based eating with organics has been the most rewarding route. I sleep better, have so much more energy and feel empowered to tap into other areas veganism encompasses, such as ethics, spirituality, sustainability and environmentalism. Although veganism isn't a lifestyle that can be dived into head-first overnight as it requires research and proper planning, the decision to begin the plant-based journey can take effect even in the smallest steps.
I've always pictured vegans as these frail hippie individuals who munch on mangoes all day long but man, was I wrong. The community is filled with incredibly compassionate, strong and kind individuals and I'm so excited to tap into the other 97% of what veganism entails.
If you've read up until this point, thank you. Hopefully this post proved to be insightful in some way and made you think just a tad.
Positive energies always.

Fifty years after their first high school graduation, ten members of the Class of 1967 "graduated" again as Villa Maria Golden Girls. The ten women, wearing gold robes, processed into graduation with the Class of 2017, and were awarded commemorative diplomas marking their history and legacy with their alma mater.
The women made the most of their mini-reunion, posing for pictures and then gathering for lunch afterwards to catch up and reminisce. One of the women travelled from Illinois to take part in the festivities.
Congratulations to all of Villa Maria's Golden Girls in the Class of 1967!

Google Begins Book Search Service
:: From NewsScan Daily for Oct 6, 2004:
Google is launching a new service designed to help publishers sell books online. Called Google Print, it will allow users to see book excerpts alongside ordinary Google Web page search results, and will carry a link to buy the book from a variety of online book retailers, including Amazon. "It's an advantage for publishers because it offers them the possibility to promote books online. And for users, it gives them the advantage of accessing information about authors and books and even to read a little from the books," says a Google spokesman. (Reuters/USA Today 6 Oct 2004)More information is available from the Google site.

Video Review: 'Jerry and Tom'
First-time director Saul Rubinek's hitman flick Jerry and Tom had folks talking at Sundance. In 1998. Ay, there's the rubout. Even then, watching two killers banter Pulp Fiction-ally was on the edge of stale. Now, despite clever camera work and cameos by William H. Macy and Ted Danson, it's a setup that'll hold interest just until you've finished folding your laundry. C

Renal cell carcinoma, metastasis (p. 287)
c o n Solitary parapelvic cysts (see Fig. 388c, p. 273; Fig. 389a, p. 273):
• Clinicalfeatures: may be tubular retention cysts (such as cortical and subcapsular cysts) or may have a lymphoid origin, arising from the lymphatic vessels of the renal sinus
• Sonographic criteria: The standard criteria for cysts are reviewed on p. 272. A cyst with an inherently flat shape may show internal echogenicity or irregular margins due to physical artifacts such as noise. A flattened oval shape is particularly common with multiple cysts.
n Multiple parapelvic cysts (Fig. 407; Fig. 388d, p. 273): usually bilateral, taking the form of "benign cystic lymphangioma."
• Several or numerous round, oval, or finger-shaped anechoic masses oriented toward the hilum
• Cyst boundaries are well defined by septations.
• CDS: absence of vascularity inside the cysts, with normal-appearing blood vessels in the septa
n Atypical cyst (Fig. 408; see Fig. 392, p. 275; Fig. 401a, p. 280): The differential diagnosis includes calyceal cyst, abscess, cavitating tumor, flat cyst, sectional view of a parenchymal band, and obstructive pyelocalyceal ectasia
• Polygonal shape with intraluminal echoes due to noise
• Trabeculations or septations
• Extrarenal extension n Renal sinus lipomatosis (Fig. 409): excessive fat in the renal sinus
• Nonhomogeneous decrease of echogenicity in the central echo complex
• Patchy, tumor-like figures ("bear claws")
• Widening of the renal sinus echo complex with thinning of the parenchyma ("fatty atrophy"). Parenchymal-pelvic ratio often < 1:1
n Parenchymal bands, hypertrophic renal columns (Fig. 410; see Fig. 399, p. 279):
• Circumscribed, peg- or band-shaped iso- or hypoechoic area in the CEC
• CDS: normal vascular architecture
Fig. 409a, b Sinus lipomatosis. a Typical transformation of the central echo complex (arrows), which appears hypoechoic with irregular margins. K = kidney b "Fatty atrophy": increased fat in the renal sinus with thinning of the parenchyma (cursors: parenchymal-pelvic ratio of 0.6)

Fig. 410a, b Parenchymal bands. a Isoechoic mass completely occupies the renal section with slight ectopia and malrotation of the right kidney. b CDS: normal vascular architecture, no tumor vascularity. K = kidney
c o n Infected obstruction (Fig. 411):
n Note: The main priority is to clear the outflow obstruction as soon as possible.
• Hypoechoic dilatation of the pyelocalyceal system
• Involvement of the ureteropelvic junction
Fig. 411 Infected obstruction: very hypoechoic pyelectasis (P) with swelling of the renal pelvic wall (cursors)
• Inflammatory swelling of renal pelvic wall to > 2 mm
• Anechoic or hypoechoic distention of the renal pelvis
Fig. 412 Suppurative pyelitis (urosepsis): faint hypoechoic rim in the central echo complex with swelling of the renal pelvic wall (arrows)
n Abscess or pyonephrosis (Fig. 413): may require decompression by percutaneous needle aspiration or drainage
• Anechoic or hypoechoic mass, often multiple
• Ill-defined margins
Fig. 414 Liquefaction (intratumoral hemorrhage) in a carcinoma of the renal pelvis (cursors indicate the longitudinal renal diameter and tumor diameter)
• Absence of vascularity
• Wall of renal pelvis thickened to > 2 mm n Inflammatory mass, cavitating tumor or intratumoral hemorrhage (Fig. 414): Other inflammatory masses may also occur, such as tumor-mimicking vasculitis. n Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis: chronic inflammatory mass with fatty infiltration, also located in the parenchyma
• Irregular, heterogeneous hypoechoic mass n Renal pelvic carcinoma (urothelial carcinoma, Fig. 415):
• Circumscribed hypoechoic mass, often exhibiting the same echo pattern as the renal pelvis and ureter
• CDS: atypical vascularity (aberrant tumor vessels)
n Renal cell carcinoma (invading the renal pelvis and sinus), metastasis (Fig. 416):
Fig. 416 Renal cell carcinoma (T) that metastasized to the lung. A metastatic lymph node (LN) is visible in the renal sinus echo complex of the same kidney (K)
n CDS: atypical vascularity (aberrant tumor vessels)
n Hemorrhagic cyst (Fig. 417): mainly requires differentiation from a tumor
• Smooth, round to oval hypoechoic area in the renal sinus echo complex
• Fine, flocculent internal echoes 287

• Echogenic streaks or bands in the renal sinus echo complex. It is common to see faint tramlines bordering a central, thread-like anechoic lumen.
• Acoustic shadows may occur, depending on the degree of calcification.
Fig. 418 Vascular calcification (arrow): echogenic "tramlines" with a central anechoic lumen n Renal calyceal or pelvic stone (staghorn calculus, Fig. 419): The differential diagnosis includes vascular calcification, calcified papillary tips, and tumor-associated calcification.

Year 6 had an unusual experience on Tuesday – sitting in on an "arti", a Hindu service in which statues of gods are blessed. The service was in the Shri Swaminarayan Mandir, a magnificent, intricately carved white marble temple in London. We all learned a lot from being at the service, as well as having a video and a talk and visiting an exhibition about the history of Hinduism. A few interesting purchases were made in the mandir's shop, too!
Our journey both ways encountered traffic jams, but luckily we had just enough time to stop off at Bedgebury Pinetum on the way back for an ice cream by the lake.
Thank you to Miss de Havilland, Miss Vane-Tempest and Mr Kellick for accompanying us – and to Year 6 for being such good company!

The word nurse educators make reference to an authorized nurse who offers educational services to teach students who would like to be a nurse. If this describes something for you to do, educate nursing, there are numerous educational programs around to enable you to achieve individuals goals. The good thing is that there's a requirement for this kind of education.
Lots of people have questions concerning how to become and just what they are able to do once they do earn a nurse educators degree and licensing.
I am already a nurse. How do you educate this to other people?
In many states, you will have to return to school to earn a teaching degree, having a specialization in nursing. This method may take anywhere in one year to 4 years, with respect to the kind of education you have.
I'm not yet an authorized nurse, but I wish to be an educator. Exactly what do I actually do?
Of these situations, it's frequently determined by your objectives. Many educators works in the market for a while before returning to become an educator, though internships and shorter-term employment are options. Whenever you earn your license after which work in the market, you're better able to supplying quality education to individuals students whom you will educate.
How do you find the correct school?
That's the great news. There are many educational programs around to assist individuals who would like to become nurse educators. The procedure can really be very rewarding as well as simple to do. Compare the choices you've and be sure you're attending a certified school. Using this method it will help you to enter into the kind of program that you would like to stay in.

Aaaaaaannnd They're Off!!!!
"A tree as great as a man's embrace springs from a small shoot; A terrace nine stories high begins with a pile of earth; A journey of a thousand miles starts under one's feet." – Laozi, Chapter 64 of the Tao Te Ching
"Sometimes a man wants to be stupid if it lets him do a thing his cleverness forbids." – John Steinbeck, East of Eden
Today's the first "official" day of the trip and we're headed from Bakersfield, CA to the western gate of Yosemite National Park. Although it will make for some long days, we're hoping we can make 180-200 miles per day (+/-).
Here's a Google Maps link to our planned route for the day, trying to avoid all the wide-open roads where people may be traveling more than twice as fast as us. Here's a PDF of the route. [Note: We're posting links to Google Maps with our routes, but we're not sure what's going on with them. We've discovered that while looking at the link while using a laptop, the link shows our route as planned. Looking at the link on a hand-held device (iPhone), Google Maps is for some reason showing a different route. We'll also post a .pdf file that captures the intended the route, although that file is less useful for anyone who wants to explore the route.] .
Clear skies are forecast, along with a high temperature of 99°F. Only the first couple hundred Model Ts (in 1909) were equipped with a water pump for the engine cooling system. Henry Ford soon thereafter decided to go with the simpler (and cheaper) thermosyphon design throughout the rest of engine production. Hot engine water, being less dense than cooler water, rises up the return hose to the top of the radiator where it cools, becomes more dense, and sinks to the bottom of the radiator and returns into the engine block to complete the cycle. This system has proven very effective but can be susceptible to overheating when the engine is worked hard at high ambient temperatures. However, we have an ace up our sleeves…we can easily take the hoods off the cars and put them in the back seats if necessary to allow more airflow around the engine compartment.
Wish us luck, and we'll see you on the road!
Take the Road Less Traveled
It's an amazing country we live in. If you get the chance, try taking the road less traveled.
Oakhurst? Check!
Well folks, we're in Oakhurst, CA after completing our 189 mile drive from Bakersfield today. A great day of touring with only a minor delay late in the afternoon due to both cars overheating during a hill climb. It was definitely a warm day but the real problem was that we needed to climb about 2400 feet, seemingly all at once! The lesson learned was that we need to take a closer look at the topo maps and elevation profiles on the Google Maps bicycle feature. Regardless, after letting the cars cool down during the climb, we were on the move again and pulled into Oakhurst late this afternoon.
Such a diverse drive today. The flat, expansive crop fields of the Central Valley, the rolling, golden foothills and the mountain lakes surrounded by rocky cliffs. Tonight we'll sleep at the southwestern gateway to Yosemite Valley. Incredible!
Cruising right along.
Not a bad place to cool off.
One note: touring in an open car allows you to experience both the sights and smells along your journey. Blooming flowers, mountain air, lake winds or, when the manure spreaders are out, eau d'bouef.
Day 2 – Yosemite Valley
We're getting a later start today than we hoped for due to a flat tire. More on that later.
Today will be one of the most challenging days for the cars. Up and over Tioga Pass, el. 9945 feet. Our destination is Lee Vining, CA.
Because it's the beginning of peak tourist season, lodging is impossible to come by. And because we can't just "zip back and forth" between lodging and the sight-seeing destinations, we can really only drive through Yosemite today to give those of us who've never seen it before a reason to come back one day. We'll start out with our car tops up, but as we enter the valley you can bet we'll be putting them down so we can look up as well as out.
As far as getting up to Tioga Pass, we'll be using every bit of the 22 horsepower our engines are rated for, although at that altitude they'll be producing less power than that.
But once at the top, there's yet another challenge…getting down.
Both our cars have original-style (correct for the period) aftermarket rear wheel brakes to augment Ford's transmission brake design, but steep descents in a Model T are always approached with caution. Which is exactly how we plan to descend from the pass down to Lee Vining and the 760,000 year-old Mono Lake…cautiously.
Ultimately we may find that on the way up we'll have to have the kids get out and push from behind, and on the way down we'll have to have the kids get out and push from in front!
Yosemite Valley? Tioga Pass? Mono Lake? Check!
Folks, we made it over Tioga Pass and it…is…beautiful!!!
All went well until the down slope leg into Lee Vining and the '11 ended up overheating its brakes on an 8% grade, but we managed to work our way through the issue to get safely into camp. Definitely have some brake and clutch work to do in the morning.
More to follow, after we grab some chow.
Belated Introductions
It occurs to us we've gotten this far without proper introductions.
Our group of tourists consists of two fathers, four brothers, four sons, a grandfather, two grandsons, two nephews and an uncle. All packed into just two cars, a red 1910 Ford and a blue 1911 Ford.
AND, on the first day of touring we even threw in another brother, another uncle and two more nephews!
Here's a picture of the entire group, taken on that first day:
Okay, so maybe we made those introductions a little more complicated than necessary, but it's true nonetheless.
Here's a better view of the cars:
That's the 1911 in front, with the 1910 behind it (and another '11 behind that)*. This picture was taken on a different tour in Vermont and you see those brass cylinders standing upright on the running boards? Those are acetylene gas generators, the same kind of gas used by welders today, but also by coal miners way back when so they could see in the dark with their head lamps. Calcium carbide was placed in the lower section of the generator and water in the upper section. By dripping the water onto the calcium carbide through an adjustable valve, acetylene gas was produced and routed through rubber tubes up to the headlights. Then all the driver had to do is get out and light the headlights with a flame. (The side and tail lights are kerosene lamps). But we've removed those for this trip and installed safer, more reliable electric headlights which also freed up space on the running board for some of our gear.
* The '11 in the background is owned by the father/grandfather on our trip. Of the approximately 15 million Model Ts built over a 20 year period, that car was built just 3 days after the blue '11 owned by the father/son/brother!

Some of my favorite companies have been releasing sneak peeks of upcoming products. Since Valentine's Day is right around the corner, let's open our hearts … to stamps and dies!
I already love and want Technique Tuesday's heart strings die — two dies that cut out hearts on a string.
How cute is that? And this one:
You can see more of the new offerings in a video tour of the CHA booth. While you're at the site, check out the new Garden Club stamp — a crocus — and the cute robot stamp set.
I also love the Hero Arts offerings, including:
And this layering one, which cuts and scores and creates a cool dimension:
(Check out this video on how to use these dies.)

What Is a Purchase Annual Percentage Rate (APR)?
A purchase annual percentage rate, or APR, is the interest charge that is added monthly to the outstanding balance due on a credit card.
The APR on a credit card is an annualized percentage rate that is applied monthly. For example, if the advertised APR on a credit card is 19%, an interest rate of 1.58% of the outstanding balance will be added monthly to the total amount owed.
If the balance is paid in full, no APR is added.
[Important: A single credit card may have several APRs attached; these often include a different, and higher, APR for cash advances than for purchases.]
Understanding APR
A single credit card may have several APRs attached. These often include a different, and higher, APR for cash advances than for purchases. (In addition, the interest on cash advances begins accumulating immediately. Interest on purchases cannot begin until the end of the billing cycle.)
In addition, credit cards are often advertised with a low introductory APR, or "teaser rate," for a set number of months. When that period expires, a higher APR will kick in. This rate must be revealed by the lender and is typically stated as a range, such as 17.74% to 27.24%, or a formula, such as the Consumer Price Index plus 14%.
By law, all APR information must be included in a credit card agreement.
APRs Can Change
However, the APR may not remain as stated in the initial agreement. The interest rate on an individual's credit card can be increased with 45 days notice. The card issuer must state a reason for the increase. The reason can be a late payment or a credit rating downgrade, but it also can be an increase in the national prime interest rate or a financial setback at the bank.
Many cards also state a penalty or default APR that is triggered if a payment is late or the credit limit is exceeded. The penalty APR always applies to future purchases, but it can be applied to the existing balance if the payment is more than 60 days late.
Fixed or Variable APR
The purchase APR can be a fixed or variable rate. As noted above, an APR is never really "fixed" but can be increased by the card issuer with 45 days notice. A variable APR rate is adjusted quarterly or monthly according to the movements of a particular index such as the prime interest rate. The new rate will be the prime rate plus some set percentage.
A fixed APR is not determined by a reference rate and is more stable than a variable rate. Most issuers reserve the right to change a fixed APR based on market conditions and on how the cardholder uses and maintains credit, not just with this card but with all obligations that are recorded by the credit agencies. (For related reading, see "Credit Card APR: What's a Good Rate?")
Key Takeaways
- A credit card's APR is an annualized percentage rate that is applied monthly—that is, the monthly amount charged that appears on the bill is one-twelfth of the annual APR.
- Most credit cards have several APRs attached. Different rates for cash advances and purchases are common.
- The APR on a credit card can be changed with 45 days notice.

Broker Ratings & Reputation
Trusting the broker you are using is critical. You need to be sure that the broker is reputable, efficiently run and well regulated. To be able to assess the quality of a broker we have chosen to use two sources of ratings, because some brokers may be unfairly discriminated against on one rating website, and have great reviews on another website. We have chosen what we believe to be the best to sources for impartial customer ratings. Firstly we use Trustpilot, it is a well established independent website where customers can rate brokers. Secondly, we use ForexPeaceArmy (FPA) which is a very well run community-driven rating site focused on fairness. One of the issues with review sites is that sometimes unhappy customers form the majority of reviews as they are an outlet for complaints, the happy customers feel no need to review the service as they are content.
Markets.com scores very well on Trustpilot, with a 96% approval rating from 359 reviews. The approval rating is the total percent of reviews that are rated average, great or excellent. In fact, 84% of their customers rated the service as excellent, this is amongst the very highest in the industry. Alternatively, on the FPA website, they scored 2 stars, which is a contrast to Trustpilot. Taking both into consideration we can assume Markets.com is a reputable broker. Always do your own research.

Table 1: Instruments & Leverage Per Account
As you can see the amount of leverage available to the professional trader is significantly more, but you will have to prove that you qualify for the account, meaning, proving your net worth and trading experience.
Markets.com specialize in the sheer number of tradable stock market-based vehicles, with an incredible 2000+ shares, 33 Indices and even 50 different ETF's to trade, this is an admirable selection.
They also offer a great selection of Fx Pairs (54) and a reasonable selection of Cryptocurrencies (6). In comparison with other brokers, their levels of leverage on offer to the retail trader are low with only 2:1 on Crypto and 1:10 on shares.
Brokers Trading Platform
Markets.com aims to keep it simple and straight forward when it comes to tools. You can trade from your tablet, smartphone, and PC / Mac. There are no costs associated with using the platform and no complex installation. The beauty of this platform is that it is extremely easy to use and intuitive, whether you are using your phone or have the WebTrader program installed on your PC.
The Markets.com App has a 4-star rating on the Play store and in the Apple store only a 2.9 rating with many complaints, many brokers get poor ratings for their mobile software. So if you plan on trading from your iPhone or tablet, I would not recommend this broker. If using a PC or Android, it should not be a problem.
Markets.com have opted to use a proprietary web-based trading application and are not using the industry standard specialist programs like MetaTrader 4 or 5 or MT WebTrader. If you are looking for powerful trading, algorithmic automation or even copy trading, I would suggest looking at this review.

Order Execution & Trading Styles
Markets.com is the Market Maker for their clients, that means they are the dealing desk, they do not offer straight through processing (STP) or direct market execution via the electronic communication network (ECN). That means they take the opposite side to your trade. This could potentially be a conflict of interest with the client unless the broker is unscrupulous and manages the risk properly. Markets.com do have a risk policy to mitigate these circumstances. Scalping, arbitrage and high frequency trading are forbidden under the trading agreement with this broker.
Company Background & Regulators
They are one of the newest entrants to the market having been established in 2012, but they are part of a large company – PlayTech PLC a FTSE 250 registered company specializing in betting. They are regulated by Cysec in Cyprus and ASIC in Australia.
Account Funding & Investor Protection
Account Funding
Opening a demo account is free, but to start trading you will need a minimum balance of $100. Minimum balances seem to be important to some people, but from my perspective, if you cannot afford $100, you probably should not be attempting to trade CFD's.
Investor Protection
Markets.com offer Negative Balance Protection which is really important for CFD traders, meaning the backstop of margin call will protect you and guarantee even if you do not meet the margin call, that you will not end up owing money to the broker, they will execute the sale on time.
Finally, as per regulatory requirements, they operate segregated accounts, meaning that your cash account is segregated from the accessible funds available to Markets.com, simply meaning, they cannot use your funds to trade their own account. Also, there is Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) insolvency compensation of up to 20,000 EUR in accordance with CySec regulations.
Markets.com Review Summary
Markets.com is a well-established broker and a UK FTSE 250 listed company. Their strength is the large selection of Fx pairs and Shares, ETF's an Indices you can trade. They are good for a discretionary trader, not high-frequency traders or scalpers as they act as the Market Maker for their clients. They have a simple and effective online trading application, but the iPhone app is poor. They are regulated in Cyprus and offer negative Balance Protection and segregated account.Markets.com CFD Forex Broker 59 Point Data Sheet
