James Parker McCulley, MD $$
Pediatric Ophthalmologist
Professor and Chair at UT Southwestern Medical Center
- Languages Spoken:
- English,
James McCulley, M.D., is an ophthalmologist at Children's Health℠. He is an internationally recognized specialist in the evaluation and treatment of corneal diseases that affect the eye.
A Fort Worth native, Dr. McCulley received his undergraduate degree from Texas Christian University. He then went to Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, Mo., and completed an internship with the Harvard Medical Service at Boston City Hospital. Both his residency and corneal fellowship training were with the Massachusetts Eye & Ear Infirmary (Harvard Medical School) in Boston.
Professor and Chair of the Department of Ophthalmology at UT Southwestern Medical Center since 1981, Dr. McCulley attributes his career trajectory, drive, and work ethic to his family. "My mother was a college professor, and my father was a businessman, and these professions influenced my decision to chair a department," he says.
As a member of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Ophthalmic Devices Panel of the Medical Devices Advisory Committee, Dr. McCulley was among a handful of physicians who worked with the FDA during the LASIK clinical trials approval process. He has been part of LASIK's continual evolution, from using a microkeratome (blade) to create the corneal flap, to bladeless, all-laser LASIK.
Dr. McCulley has served on many committees and boards, including the UT Southwestern Health Systems Board of Directors, the Clinical Advisory Committee and the Executive Committee of Clinical Chairs. Outside of UT Southwestern, he has served as a member of the Food and Drug Administration's Ophthalmic Devices Panel of the Medical Devices Advisory Committee, as a Prevent Blindness Texas board member and as Co-Medical Director of the Dallas Lions Sight and Tissue Foundation, among others.
Awards and honors have been part of Dr. McCulley's career since 1968, when Washington University awarded him the Alumni Award in Internal Medicine. In 2001, he received Texas Christian University's Alumni Association Distinguished Alumnus Award, followed in 2006 by the Distinguished Alumni Award from the Department of Ophthalmology at Harvard Medical School. In 2012, the Cornea Society awarded Dr. McCulley the Castroviejo Medal, internationally recognized as the highest honor bestowed upon a cornea specialist.
As an invited guest speaker or lecturer, Dr. McCulley has presented at over 200 professional conferences in the U.S., South America, Australia, Europe, Asia and the Middle East. He is a member of multiple professional organizations and sits on the editorial boards of several peer-reviewed journals. Dr. McCulley has published more than 700 peer-reviewed journal papers, citable abstracts, books and book chapters.

[captionpix width="250″ imgsrc="http://www.janeunsworth.com/wp-content/uploads/Richard-Bandler-2-150.jpg" imgalt="META-Healing For Health" captiontext="Richard Bandler Co-Founder Of NLP"]
What is it about healing and health and how can it possibly work? We all want solutions but we often stop ourselves from trying something new, or something different because as someone once said to me about building a website we-don't-know-what-we-don't-know – how right he was.
Well it's the same with your health.
What happens is we come up against our own paradigms and they often (by their very nature) prevent us from venturing into unchartered waters or exploring something when we have no existing reference for it.
I'm sure you've experienced that in some form or other, i.e. first day at school, first day you started work, first date, first marriage, first baby, you get the idea.
The Techniques You've Learned And More
The META-Healing Process is new, it's brand new, but like many that have gone before, it's based on a range of existing tools and techniques you're likely to be aware of … lets check them out …
NLP & Richard Bandler
NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) has been around since the 1980's and I was taught NLP by Richard Bandler one of the co-founders of NLP along with Paul McKenna and Michael Breen.
Learning NLP was a real eye-opener to me, and was the first of these mind-changing / paradigm exploration techniques that helped me start making some big changes in early 2004.
Time Line Therapy
TLT (Time Line Therapy) allows us to shift something, when it's stuck in a time warp (if you like) and is something that holds us back in the present. I learned thin Bandler's course and as part of the Advanced Hypnotherapy couse I took in 2006. It provides some very useful ways of changing things going forwards. This is often used alongside NLP and Hypnotherapy.
Gary Craig's EFT
EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) is a great way of removing emotional stress and discomfort around something and stems from TFT (that Roger Callahan – an American psychologist developed after working on a client with a water phobia). In the early 1990's Gary Craig simplified that system to develop EFT, which uses the same techniques but slightly differently. It lets us get to the core of what a problem really is rather than what we think it is, and these two things are often quite different.
Matrix Reimprinting
Matrix Reimprinting is a great add-on to EFT and was developed a few years ago by Karl Dawson (one of only 29 EFT Masters [worldwide] taught by Gary Craig). I trained with Karl in May 2010 and it's made a great difference in speeding up the EFT process because we can get deeper, quicker. It enables greater shifts in shorter periods.
Matrix Reimprinting evolved organically from someone Karl was working with on an EFT Training, where further research found it fell into alignment with the Quantum Sciences. Karl and Richard recorded a DVD programme where they combined META-Medicine (what the META-Healing Process draws from) with EFT and Matrix Reimprinting and the final DVD with Kathy working on her manic depression, is nothing short of phenomenal.
Much later Richard said he was lucky that day, because although these techniques are much faster than what has gone before, miracles like Kathy happen once in a while.
The Heart Math Foundation
Heart-Math recognises how much of an impact the heart has in how we perceive ourselves in the world, on a daily (moment-by-moment) basis. The heart-beat can be been measured at a distance of as much 80ft which tells us just how powerful it is. It's also understood that as the blood circulates around the bodies system it is imprinting our sense of self simultaneously. So we may as well make sure we're reimprinting a positive message in every which way.
NES Health
NES Health Infoceuticals were developed by Peter Fraser and are in liquid form, much as the Bach Flower Remedies were. They're energetic remedies that have been energetically encoded or imprinted with bio-information to directly correct distortions in the body-field. Each bottle contains filtered water, plant-derived micro-minerals and 5% alcohol for preservation. They work with any physical, emotional or environmental toxic blocks (in the body's system) to help restore balance.
The MHP Umbrella
The META-Healing Process (MHP) gathers from all of the above (combined with META-Medicine) under one umbrella and combines it with the META-Medicine model.
META-Healing involves drawing from information stored in the brain, an affected body part (organ) and the heart (as we now understand that an imprint is being recreated with every heartbeat).
Richard Flook & Why Am I Sick?
Richard Flook (author of Why Am I Sick) is my master META-Medicine teacher. He developed The META-Healing Process and he's a pleasure to be around, because his curiosity is infectious and he's a generous teacher. He is allowing his master students to teach this process, with around a dozen of us worldwide, which for me its a privilege.
This process is gentle and allows you to have great shifts and get rid of unwanted feelings and behaviours. You will also learn about the disease process and this information will definitely surprise you and once learned you'll look at disease in a completely different way.
It's very enjoyable and non-invasive, as we don't even have to share the findings (if we prefer not) with the person we work with (and some folk prefer that). The technique flows and simultaneously works at the deepest level to bring about lasting change.

The Love of Hard Icy Go Anywhere Snow
– All our local Nordic Ski Centers are closed for the season. Last Sunday was the last day of the 15/16 season. I guess it's time to lube up the bike chain, air up the tires, and break in the backside muscles and start logging some bike miles… or not. One more season can still show up. Crust skiing. The wonderful, incredible, crust season. There's really not much better skate skiing than skiing on a nice layer of hard, frozen, icy, crusty, snow.
The crust forms after warm days filled with sunshine. The resulting water in the melting snowpack freezes overnight and in the morning you have snow as hard as a sidewalk. The great thing about this is you can skate ski anywhere. The entire backcountry has just become your Nordic Center groomed to perfection. Typically crust forms up in the lower valleys first. The warm temperatures hit here first and the snow firms up solid overnight. As long as there is no exposed barbed wire to trip you up – ski wherever permission allows.
As the lower snowpack melts away to mud the crust moves up to higher elevations. Rabbit Ears Pass. Buffalo Pass. Dunckley Pass. The Flat Tops. The possibilities are as endless as the number of miles you can ski. Endless. Limitless. Let your imagination ski free.
One of my best days ever on skis was a crust day up on Rabbit Ears Pass. I made my way to the Walton Creek Parking lot at morning's first light. That in itself is worth the price of admission. No one is there. All is quiet. The last stars hang just above the trees as the blue dawn reflects soft morning light off the snowpack.
Crossing the road to the Hogan Park Trail I locked into my skis and set off for the 7 or 8 mile skate across the pass to the top of the Steamboat Ski Area. Hogan Park is a classic wintertime ski tour. On touring skis, in the middle of winter, it can take more than a few hours to complete the tour and descend the ski area's trails to the base area. This day I skated Hogan Park in about an hour.
Crust skiing is fast. There is no resistance from the base of your skis up through your body. Flying describes it pretty right.
The Hogan Park trail is a series of large open meadows or parks. Small pockets of forest separate these sections from one another. The snow in the shadows of these trees may not have crusted up and they prove to be the most challenging part of the whole ski… breaking powdery snow on super skinny skate skis through tight trees is not that great. Once you are through the trees the next wide open section of crust presents itself and the rhythm of poling and skating and gliding and flying comes easily. Distance is of no consequence. The energy expelled is nominal. Time stands still and all you're aware of is the sound of your skis sizzling across the crust.
I skied past the Morningside lift and the lift ops were inside. I heard them say "what the?" as I skied past and up to the top of Mount Werner. I telemarked down the face of Storm Peak. Tucked the low angle slope to Rainbow, threw a few more turns to the service road and was down before I realized what had happened. I took the bus down to Ski Haus, changed my boots, and road my bike back up Rabbit Ears Pass to where I had left my truck to make it back to work before the 1:00 shift started.
Every year I look forward to Crust Season. Some crust seasons are better than others. It's best when the overnight freezing temperatures linger well into April and you have plenty of opportunities to catch it. Too much fun cannot be had.
The only limiting factor to the crust is when it starts to loosen as the heat of the day overtakes the cold. The crust begins to soften. You can set your ski edge better as this happens but this is also the first sign you had better keep an eye on where you want to end up. Hopefully, you won't end up a few miles away from the truck as the snow turns punchy and it won't support your weight on skis anymore… if you've waited too long another adventure of another type awaits you.

We all make mistakes and if we're unlucky they end up costing money. In the case of the Central Procurement Directorate in Northern Ireland, failure to follow procurement rules that resulted in the cancellation of a framework deal is an error that may cost the Department of Finance and Personnel "hundreds of thousands" – in addition to time wasted.
The Department for Work and Pensions' decision to cancel the tender process for the £1 billion Post Office Card Account contract has seen it agree to compensate unsuccessful bidders with "reasonable costs". While this is surely a political rather than a procurement decision, the outcome is the same – wasted time, effort and hard cash.
It's perhaps no surprise that these are public sector examples, given that the spenders of taxpayers' money have to be open and accountable – while errors in the private sector more often occur behind closed doors. In an effort to move forward from mistakes, SM is launching a 'lessons learnt' series. You've told us that although it's good to hear about the shining examples of procurement excellence, it would also be useful to hear from those who've got it wrong.
So this isn't about naming and shaming – it can be done anonymously – the point is we've all been there and if we share experiences perhaps we can prevent colleagues and peers falling into the same traps. If you're brave enough to start us off, get in touch at the usual address.
On another note, we hope the articles in our Low-cost Country Sourcing Special, beginning on page 31, provide practical insight into the experiences and expertise of others. And for those of you still looking for shining examples (which we'll continue to highlight), enjoy our cover story on Sellafield's award-winning approach to corporate responsibility.

Newsies has reached a milestone in my journey with it. I have been in love with it for a year. I first saw it last August with my family and fell in love with it. It is the newest musical soundtrack that I own. My favorite song from Newsies is "Seize the Day". This musical is a Disney musical. It is about the Newsboy Strike of 1899 when a group of Newsies went on strike after Pulitzer raised the price of their paper from 50 cents per one hundred papers to sixty cents per one hundred papers.
The relationship found among the Newsies is incredible. They support each other and they are this one family with Jack Kelly being the leader of them all. My favorite of all the Newsies are Jack and Crutchie and I love the close bond these two Newsies have for each other. Jack is quite protective of Crutchie especially because Crutchie has a bum leg and they are best friends. Katherine Plumber ends up being the reporter for the strike and she and Jack fall in love. Jack and Katherine are one of my favorite musical couples and I have fallen in love with that couple because of the magical and gorgeous and heartfelt "something to believe in".
The songs are so incredible because they are fun and so catchy and at times the songs have a more vulnerable and emotional feel. The dancing in this show is mind-blowing so I am not surprised it won the Tony for best choreography and dancing is always something I am looking for in a musical. One of my favorite lyrics is "courage cannot erase our fear. courage is when we face our fear". The songs are dealing with positive and negative emotions and that type of score is something I look for in a musical.
Below are links to two posts I wrote about Newsies.
Do you love Newsies? If so, why do you love it? If you have not seen Newsies, what is your favorite Disney musical?

All About The Business And The Law
If ever you are thinking of starting a new business or maybe you have already started it, it is very important that you have and understanding on the areas where business and law would meet and rely on each other. Whenever a business will be starting or developing and growing, there are many possible situations in which business owners may find themselves in. They might be ending up facing some serious consequences financially since any of the average person may be unaware of every details in business law.
In order for you to have proper protection from legal liability, hiring or consulting with a business attorney is probably the best way. So that you would be able to determine when a legal protection is necessary, it is also very crucial that you must learn all about the general concepts in business and in law. For you to know and understand all about the business and the law, and also why these two should never be apart, here are a few things listed below, this will be helpful and useful if you wish to have an adequate protection of your business as well as yourself.
If you will be growing, running or starting a business, remember that this will be an interesting venture. There are several people who are too eager to get up and run that they would often be overlooking on the very crucial legal aspects whenever they decide to start their own business. Since this is the nature of any new business, even if you are aware of all the legal issues, owners of businesses may have insufficient financial resources for them to have a legal assistance.
The risk should not scare people off from starting their own business. Instead, it should be serving as an example of what might happen if proper precautions are not considered.
Let us talk about wronged employees. Treating your employees wrongly would normally make them do something against you and your business. Every person that is working for you has his or her own rights. When you ignore those rights, it seems like you will most likely be ending up your business in court. This would mean you must have enough time to know and understand all of the employment laws that are necessary to follow.
Knowing the business and law is very important. The areas of business and law will always go together no matter what. The legal system have several rules and regulations in place in order to govern those who are operating a business and it is very crucial that you have at least the basic knowledge of legal implications when you start your own business.
There are healthy you vending reviews that you could search to know more, it is important that you know the areas of business and law.

Sugarloaf Mountain
Payback Time
The Grid has turned into The Grind. Last year I was busy with a high-pressure job, and every Catskills weekend was a chance to escape the office and leave behind the rigors of the corporate world. What I recall most about last year's mountain adventures is exhilaration and joy. Now I'm between jobs and have all the time in the world. But hiking in the mountains is morphing into work.
This is partly because of the commitment I've made to completing the Grid's remaining ~100 peaks in 2018, rather than letting even a handful slip to next year. The commitment is questionable, perhaps it's insane, maybe I just haven't freed myself of the sense of urgency and focus on results learned over a career in finance and before that the military. In this regard, I am my own worst enemy.
The winter is also my enemy. Someone inquired, if I was going to take some time off from the corporate world, why not do so during the summer, instead of the winter? (The timing of these things is often outside ones control.)
True, the Mountains served up a gift in February, with the last few days of the month featuring beautiful warm temperatures, as high as 60 F, enough to melt most of the snow and let me scamper unhindered across the ridges. But now it's payback time: March opened with two serious nor'easters, three to four feet of accumulated snow, and a return to freezing temperatures.
Half-way through the month, I've endured some of the toughest and most miserable hikes of my Catskills career, and while I've completed seven peaks so far, there are nine left to go.
And as I write this post, it's snowing yet again….
But the worst enemy you can meet will always be yourself; you ambush yourself in caverns and forests.
Back to the Cats: Completing the February Grid
"There's no rush." Wise people counsel patience when I explain I'm trying to complete the Grid for the Catskill High Peaks, an obscure project that entails climbing the thirty-five peaks in each calendar month. But the project is important to me, and I feel a sense of urgency to get it done.
February has been weighing on my mind. To start with, it's a month of challenging conditions — and not surprisingly, my log shows I've tended to steer clear of the Catskills during February: only fifteen of the high peaks are complete, which means there are twenty to go. That would be a lot for a full month, but with a trip to New Zealand scheduled for the first half of February, those twenty peaks will need to be climbed when I return, that is, within a two-week period, of which, after subtracting various commitments and appointments, only a handful of days is available.
Some nights I lie awake, reviewing different approaches for each of the twenty peaks, trying to devise the most efficient routes to get them done in the available time. Be safe, I remind myself, it'd be fine to finish off February next year — but then I go back to calculating how to pull this off — and wondering whether I have the strength to do so — and feeling vaguely uneasy.
And now the plane from New Zealand is touching down at JFK, and here I am back in New York…
Continue reading "Back to the Cats: Completing the February Grid"
Ridge Walking
With a Nor'easter blowing in, it was touch and go, but I managed just barely to complete the Grid for October, and along the way was the chance to explore some off-trail ridges. These are magical places that make you feel like you're walking across a suspension bridge, or the battlements of a castle. They give you a break from the claustrophobic tangles that blanket much of the Catskills, reveal the wild and soaring topography of the mountains, let you revel in space and light.
Random Notes – Fall Hikes
With 232 Catskill climbs under my belt, I'm 55% of the way through the Grid. I wasn't able to put much of a dent in September, only 43% complete — there were too many conflicts, like the SRT Race and and a trip to the Adirondacks — but October is coming together nicely with 74% done and plenty of time left in the month.
Here are a few notes from recent hikes, the purpose being to document the experiences before they're forgotten…. Continue reading "Random Notes – Fall Hikes"
Notes from Recent Catskill Hikes
Half-way through July, and I've completed just over half of the Catskill high peaks, many at night due to limited windows of opportunity during the day, but the rest of the month is tighter, and time is running out. The Grid has become a burden, and I feel a little like Sisyphus, doomed to push a rock up the mountain only to see it rolling back down again. But without burdens, life would be unbearably light, which is why Camus wrote that one must imagine Sisyphus happy.
Without enough time to write full articles on each climb, here are some notes from recent hikes, mostly for my own purposes in keeping track of the Grid Experience:
Sights and Sounds of Winter
Henry David Thoreau, transcendentalist philosopher and author of Walden, wrote an essay on the colors of fall foliage. But what about the colors of winter? With this question in mind, I set the alarm for 5:30 AM and went to bed early. Tomorrow's agenda would be to climb four of the Catskill high peaks with the goal of making progress toward the Catskill 3500 Club winter patch, as well as the Grid. And perhaps I'd see or learn something along the way that would help me better appreciate the winter mountain landscape.

My Grandfather had just the same clematis in his garden and it was his pride and joy. He tended that plant more than any others in his garden which had lots of flowers and plants. I just love the colour. Can't wait to see the Chinese lanterns how lucky for you. We love the last picture of Molly she has such a beautiful face.
Have a wonderful weekend.

text: Well, here is a simple hand held String Winder. You can wind kite string, fishing line, light weight twine, wire and so on. It has two hooks that you can wind/start from (either direction of wind). Right or Left Hand use. Also has hand grip; note: my hands are not large and this tool fits me about right so if you got larger hands then scale it up some (widest open area for hand is 3 inches so scale based on that). All corners have been rounded for comfort and easy removal from build table; takes about 20 minutes of build time on âstandardâ settings.


text: Rudraksha MalaRudraksha Mala are bead necklaces. Rudraksha is the seed of a fruit of a rare species of a tree found in Karnataka and in the Konkan area It should be worn on the neck, threaded by gold, silver or woolen threads, so that it remains in gentle touch with the body, which increases the body's immunity. The rudraksha thread protects the wearer from lightings, accidents and brings him good luck according to Indian saints and rishis. People with positive currents of energy should wear it on their right hand and those with negative energy current on their left hands, for good results. http://www.indianmirror.com/culture/cult.html

If you missed my initial post about why I chose the Chase Sapphire Preferred card as my starter travel rewards card, I recommend going back and checking that out before diving into this. (And if you don't have a credit card at all, you may want to read my initial credit card post about why building credit is essential as a young person.)
Now to the juicy stuff: how I redeemed my 50,000-point acquisition bonus (after spending $4,000 in three months; easy if you can put rent on your credit card) for a resort valued at approximately $1,100.
(Keep an eye out for my next travel rewards post about the American Express Platinum card—I just got it in the mail and I'm currently working toward my 100,000-point bonus. Once we cover why the Platinum is my next move, I'll write a follow-up post about ducking annual fees and being strategic without hurting your credit.)
First thing's first
When I got my acquisition bonus, the Chase Ultimate Rewards portal valued it at approximately $683. Not bad, I thought, I'm sure I can get a few nights at a hotel for that much.
But my "points strategy" changed as I began exploring the portal. Rather than using them incrementally over time (5,000 here, 8,000 there) as I spent weekends in various U.S. cities, I started to think about how spending $200 or $300 here and there wasn't too financially taxing.
In other words, I budget for a few hundred dollars a month in travel expenses, so it doesn't really bother me.
Spending several (like, MANY) hundreds of dollars in one sitting, though, definitely hurts, and I couldn't see myself throwing down $500+ for an international-style trip without some serious planning.
So, my strategy was: blow the whole wad in one sitting for a soul-crushingly awesome experience that I would not otherwise pay for.
Now what?
Being the slave to spreadsheets that I am, I began combing through the Ultimate Rewards portal and keeping track of the frontrunners. I had already decided on Cancun, which, looking back, was solely because of the flight loads that weekend—a factor that was later rendered moot since I purchased the flights anyway.
But Thomas and I had a lot of fun in Cabo last year, so I thought the other side of Mexico may be fun—especially since Mexican tourist destinations offer a LOT of inexpensive all-inclusive options, by far the best route.
I wanted to go for three nights, but realized I would probably be spending a little bit out of pocket to do so. The Ultimate Rewards portal is powered by a third-party booking engine (Expedia, I believe) so you can see all the hotel listings, their amenities, the price in USD, and the point redemption.
I found several 4-star results that looked pretty good, but most of them would require me to spend all my points and $100-$300 extra to cover all three nights. I didn't feel stellar about any of them, so I kept searching for a few days and decided to go for a weekend instead.
That's crucial—give yourself time to plan. I'm big on finding and booking everything in one day since I'm usually traveling close-in (within the week), but having a couple days to weigh my options, read TripAdvisor reviews, and stare at my spreadsheet fantasizing helped a lot.
*Major key on weekend trips: pick the first flight there and the last (or second-to-last) flight back. We had basically all of Friday (because we landed at 11), Saturday, and Sunday, because we flew out around 6:30 p.m. It helped us make the most of a two-night excursion.
The magic of transferring points to partners
Right as I was about to book a 4-star resort with iffy food reviews, I noticed a resort that looked stunningly beautiful—and stunningly out of my price range. I'm sure you know where this is going.
The resort was listed at 44,000 points per night (about $550) in the Ultimate Rewards portal: the Hyatt Zilara Cancun. Someone had mentioned to me that, every once in a while, the travel partner (in this case, Hyatt) will list properties at a lower point value on their own site.
So I moseyed over to Hyatt's site with very, very low hopes. Then I saw it—the Hyatt Zilara, listed at 25,000 points per night. In other words, I had enough points to cover two nights completely at 50,000 points total, vs. the 88,000 points it would cost in the Ultimate Rewards portal.
I was thrilled. I double- and triple-checked the rules, validating via The Points Guy that the transfer coefficient was 1:1, then I quickly transferred 50,000 points to Hyatt and booked the Zilara. As I was checking out, the Hyatt receipt said the final cost was $1,100 or 50,000 points.
It's a pretty unique thrill to earn 50,000 points for doing your regular spending and being told that's worth $680, but it's an entirely different thrill deriving an $1,100 value from those points—especially since the Sapphire card has no annual fee the first year, effectively being cost-free ($95 after the first year—we'll get into the annual fee game in a few weeks).
Key takeaways
Always, always check the transfer partner (Chase's full list is here). Make sure you're getting the best deal on Ultimate Rewards. You usually are, but every once in awhile, you'll find a gem.
The Sapphire Preferred card is literally a no-brainer if you have good credit and want a free vacation (*and you're paying off all your cards every month with no debt!*).
All-inclusive resorts are an insane value—cutting corners to save money when you're going to a country like Mexico will just downgrade your vacation. I have to say: staying in a 5-star resort with incredible food and incredible accommodations made me realize how, in a lot of cases, you get what you pay for (or rather, spend points on).
Lastly, and perhaps the best takeaway of all… money is only valuable insofar as it allows you to live the life you want to.
Taking a vacation with a loved one is the most valuable, memorable way I've ever found to spend time, and I've never regretted the money I've spent on travel—I can't say the same about my Louis Vuitton bag, expensive jewelry or fancy clothes. I've made plenty of regrettable purchases in my past, and none of them were the experiences I had traveling.
If you found value in this article or this blog and you want to sign up for the Sapphire card…
I don't get paid (obviously) to write this blog or publish content, so if you're planning on signing up for the Sapphire Preferred card, I would really, really appreciate if you'd use my referral link to apply—I know, I know. A shameless ask. But if you've derived any value at all from my efforts, that would be an amazing way to support my weekly posts. Let me know if you do so I can properly thank you.
Happy travels, my friends!

Photos from the Namib Desert
Those two facts should have meant that in theory, I would deeply dislike travel in Namibia.
Particularly during our time in the Namib desert, because to see the animals that roam freely, to avoid the crushing heat, and to see the shadows fall at just the right angle on the massive dunes of Sossusvlei, we were often on the move before dawn. And getting anywhere in Namibia, with roads largely covered in sand and loose gravel, meant hours and hours of driving.
At times I got cranky. Mostly when I was hangry of course, which is perfectly reflected in my notes that say the outcrops of mountains sometimes looked like well-marbled steak or large crumbs of chocolate cake.
But ultimately it was those variations – from the deep red of the steak to the rich brown of the chocolate and the brilliant orange of the tallest dunes – that kept me buoyed on those long days and anxious for more. It was, more than any other place we've visited, that which so truly holds to the title of otherwordly. And thus all of those things that should have distracted me from enjoying our time were barely a factor.
(And as I learned, whining isn't allowed anyway.)
Here is the best from our several days in this magical part of Namibia…
Sossusvlei, a clay and salt pan surrounded by high dunes, is the reason we were drawn to Namibia in the first place.
The dunes are sensual, I said to Pete as we neared them. Can I call piles of sand sensual?
No two curved the same. The seduction was in their simplicity.
where we stayed
Wow.. what a surreal place. I can see how much fun it would be to write about and to photograph! I may have to add another item to my bucket list thanks to you two!

We have a number of students at Gustavus who are just starting out in their Japanese learning journey, and are faced with the challenge of learning not one, not two, but three new writing systems. To help students learn Hiragana, which is usually the first of these systems to be taught, is an entertaining game called Hiragana Piranha.
In this game you take the role of a snorkeler who must survive multiple piranha attacks by correctly typing the Hiragana characters before it is too late. The game starts out slow, with just a few piranhas, and gives you both the character and soon after the romanization of the character. As the levels progress however, you see less and less of the romanization, the piranhas multiply and gain speed.
Thanks to Andy at HalfWitGoat.com for a wonderful and useful game. Play the game now!

All-Stars Carried the Load, Role Players Brought the Energy
Washington faced their biggest task of 2018 when they stepped on the court against the Toronto Raptors Friday evening. The Wizards could have potentially been down 3-0 in their first round series, which would have been a virtual death sentence, as no team has ever come back from facing a 3-0 deficit in an NBA playoff series. The Wizards were able to keep hope alive in the series by channeling the focus of their two All-Stars and the dark energy of their key role guys.
John Wall and Bradley Beal put the team on their backs, scoring 28 points apiece and out dueling the All-Star back court of Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan. Beal got himself going early by scoring 21 of his 28 points before halftime and playing with an aggressiveness that resembled the guy who took control of the team in Wall's 41 game absence. Scott Brooks took responsibility for Beal's subpar performance after Game 2 because he knew he needed to get him more shots within the offense. When Brooks was asked about what got Brad going in this game, he mentioned how important it was for Beal himself to be aggressive: "Brad came out and was looking to go towards the basket and not just letting them hold him and going along with it. He didn't want to dance with his opponent, he wanted to get away from them. That was a critical part of his success."
Part of the inspiration for Beal's play came from a meeting with Scott Brooks and John Wall. Beal gave a little insight as to some of the things that Brooks said to inspire his play: "The biggest thing was making sure that we both were aggressive at all times, making sure that we were holding teammates accountable, leading the charge on both ends of the floor and bringing it because we have a tough assignment. This is a tough team that we are playing, a team that scores the ball in a variety of ways, they have two All-Stars, two really good bigs who can play really well, one of the best benches in the league, so each and every guy, we all gotta step up and play our part, but we know it starts with us, too. We make sure that we are clicking on the same page and that we are aggressive from the start and keep it up for 48 [minutes]."
John Wall was equally as aggressive as Beal but just in a different manner. While Beal scored 12 of his 28 points from behind the arc, Wall did most of his damage attacking the rim and working his patented elbow jumper in. When Wall wasn't looking or his own shot, he was making sure to spoon-feed his teammates to the tune of 14 assists. One particular player that Wall made a concerted effort of getting involved was his "perceived teammate arch-nemesis" Marcin Gortat. Wall explained what worked so well with Gortat: "Marc [Marcin] sets the tone for getting me and Brad open through a lot of screens and rolling for us. He's the back line of our defense and protecting the basket… He's a key to our team. He has to be there for us, to block shots, rebound, and set screens. He gets me and Brad to be aggressive coming off pick-and-rolls and [which allows us to] get our teammates involved. Tonight he got it going and made some easy shots. I always try to find him and tell him to be ready to look for my passes because a lot of teams collapse on me."
The Raptors certainly paid a lot of attention to Wall and Beal on their defensive coverage's and that left Gortat open on countless rolls to the basket and allowed him to finish with 16 points on 8-10 shooting. When Gortat is getting the rock on the offensive end, he tends to be more engaged on defense. He outplayed Jonas Valunciunas, who in first two games of the series had gotten the best of his fellow European big man.
The Return of Death Row DC
Markieff Morris walked into Capital One Arena rocking a Death Row DC shirt which served as a form of foreshadowing. Keef only finished with seven points and one rebound, but as one of the emotional leaders of the team, he got his teammates fired up by playing a brand of basketball that could be best described as "Bully Ball." Three minutes into the game, Keef was involved in a shoving match with the Raptors rookie OG Anuoby after a foul from the latter.
We've got some fireworks in Game 3. Double technicals were assessed.

In a league full of fake tough guys and players who are much more likely to yell "hold me back" rather than fight, Keef Morris is a throwback player in the sense that he is about that life. When Kelly Oubre was asked about what set the tone in the game, he was quick to credit Keef's dark energy: "Keef [Markieff Morris]. Him coming out there and pretty much being fired up. I think OG [Anunoby] did not know the scouting report because he did not know that Keef is one of the people you do not mess with in this world. It is what it is. He will learn."
Keef's style of play clearly inspired Kelly, as he came into the game and completely changed the tide of momentum with his play in the first quarter. Scott Brooks always laments the fact that he is not too concerned with Kelly knocking down shots, but rather how he is defending. Oubre came in the game with a winning sequence of a drawn charge, a dunk on a fast break, and then a block at the rim. When Oubre is engaged on defense, it gives the Wizards the ability to switch many positions on the defensive end. John Wall spoke about Oubre's impact on the game and how he has always considered him to be the teams x-factor: "He's not really worried about how many shots he's getting, he's just worried about locking up and taking away their best player. Just making it tough for them, doing the little things, making the hustle plays. It's key for our team. I think tonight he did that and when he does that he's a big key to our team. Like I always say, he's an X-factor for us."
Kelly and Markieff brought the toughness the Wizards needed from their ancillary players, while Mike Scott just continued to drop buckets. Scott finished the game with 12 points on a perfect 4-4 shooting and he also put forth maximum effort on the defensive end as a small-ball center and power forward in certain lineups. Scott's 12 points was a big part of the reason why the Wizards bench was able to outscore the Raptors bench. His production is also the perfect supplement for Otto Porter who still seems to be suffering from a lingering from a calf injury suffered right before the playoffs began.
If the Wizards are to come back Sunday and tie the series they will need a maximum effort from their role players and the star power of Beal and Wall. That proven formula worked perfectly for them in Game 3, and it falls in line with "everybody eats" mantra that worked so well earlier in the season. The team knows the style of play that works for them, the only question is can they channel the dark side for three more games.

"all things are possible" - The Finite is Generated from the Infinite
The life is finite. But people live without being harassed by the concept of the finite.
It is said that animals live as if they could live forever since they do not understand the meaning of death. However, human beings know that someday the end of life happens to each of them. Their lives are finite. But human beings are also living as if they could live forever.
This is a different matter from that about whether one believes existence of life after death. It is a matter that human beings feel there is something that is infinite.
It is the basic law that everything finite is generated from the infinite. Everything finite is part of something infinite. Life of a man is finite, but God is infinite. Life of everyone, which is finite, must be part of the infinity of God. Accordingly, none get panicked to think that his life is finite, since his life is part of the infinity of God.
People do not clearly think such a thing. But they must unconsciously feel that they are part of the infinity, so that they feel a kind of confidence about their existence.
If there is nothing that is infinite in this universe, the mankind should get depressed as if they were put in a cage.
There is a great gap between the mankind and the God, which is infinity. Materially human beings are finite, but spiritually they can be close to God's infinity.
Anyway, the finite is generated from the infinite. Human beings are generated by God.
**** **** ****
Mar 9:23 Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.
"The Son of man must suffer many things" - Finite Numbers from the Infinite
Finite Numbers from the Infinite
No matter how many finite elements are accumulated, they cannot reach the infinite.
Rather finite elements are part of the infinite. It means that the infinite first and then finite numbers. It proves that God is first and human beings second, since God is the infinite and men are finite entities.
**** **** ****
Luk 9:22 Saying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be slain, and be raised the third day.
Luk 9:23 And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.

"John the Baptist; but some say, Elias" - God and Human Civilization
God and Human Civilization
It is very strange that God has not directly spoken to any men since He gave His words to Muhammad 1,400 years ago.
Or it is very strange that there have been none who have received words of God in these 1,400 years. Of course, it might be stranger that God has not sent His Son again in these 2,000 years, though Christ Jesus said that He would be back to this world at the time when the end of the world is near.
But it is more disappointing that the mankind has not fully discovered what God is in these 1,400 years or 2,000 years, though Judaists seems to have believed that God is their God and that is enough for them for these 4,000 years.
People have various objects in their lives. To achieve them, the mankind, as a mass of people, has developed various cultures and civilizations. The mankind has acquired various knowledge about the nature and technologies to manipulate products of the nature to make itself happy, if not for compering with God.
However, if the ultimate goal of human activities in various fields is to make individuals happy, people should follow the teachings of God, since God loves the mankind. Conversely, the fact that the mankind has developed material civilization more than relying on the teaching of God might mean something horrible. The mankind might be challenging God.
It is Satan who is challenging God, according to the teaching of God. Then, Satan should help the mankind develop material civilization. In this context, we cannot expect nothing wonderful in the future of the mankind with extremely developed civilization. God will surely destroy Satan and the human material civilization that is supported by Satan.
Finally, no matter how happily a man lives and dies, it is God how to treat his or her soul after death. Human science and technology, as well as wealth, are useless in the end for any human beings.
**** **** ****
Luk 9:19 They answering said, John the Baptist; but some say, Elias; and others say, that one of the old prophets is risen again.
Luk 9:20 He said unto them, But whom say ye that I am? Peter answering said, The Christ of God.
Luk 9:21 And he straitly charged them, and commanded them to tell no man that thing;
"he had been blind, and received his sight" - 150 Million Foreign Workers
150 Million Foreign Workers
There are globally 150 million people who are working in foreign countries. In the US, there are 37 million foreign workers. Those workers send money to families in their home countries.
A remittance is a transfer of money by a foreign worker to an individual in his or her home country. Money sent home by migrants competes with international aid as one of the largest financial inflows to developing countries. Workers' remittances are a significant part of international capital flows, especially with regard to labour-exporting countries.[1] In 2014, $436 billion went to developing countries, setting a new record. Overall global remittances also totaled $583 billion.[2] Some countries, such as India and China, receive tens of billions of US dollars in remittances each year from their expatriates. In 2014, India received an estimated $70 billion and China an estimated $64 billion.Christ Jesus told 2000 years ago to be kind to foreigners since ancestors of Judaists had been once foreign workers in foreign countries.
However, the fact that India and China are top two countries in terms of the amount of remittances suggest that the world is not developing in a sound manner. The global economy is making rich Hindus and Chinese richer but making poor Hindus and Chinese leave their home countries to work in foreign countries.
Anyway, those working in foreign countries should need help from God more than those working in their own countries. That must be why Judaists have never abandoned their religion since they had been expelled from Palestine about 1900 years ago.
**** **** *****
Joh 9:18 But the Jews did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and received his sight, until they called the parents of him that had received his sight.
Joh 9:19 And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? how then doth he now see?
Joh 9:20 His parents answered them and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind:

"they put new wine into new bottles" - Appearance and Truth
Appearance and Truth
Christ Jesus said, "Don't judge people by their appearance!"
In other words, we should not try to look better than others for the purpose of gaining more favor than others.
This truth is often adopted by mystery novelists. The true culprit of a crime is sometimes a person who looks so innocent, pretty, or handsome.
Indeed, there are no descriptions in the Bible that suggest that followers of Christ Jesus included beautiful women, though there might have been some such women.
Anyway, the Bible teaches that the world became bad since men started to marry good looking women.
**** **** ****
Mat 9:17 Neither do men put new wine into old bottles: else the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish: but they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved.

Malcolm Hoenlein, Executive Vice Chair of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations chaired a blogger conference call today. High level Israeli officials and military personnel briefed bloggers and broadcasters on the latest developments regarding Israel's response to continued rocket and mortar fire from Gaza.
On the line were:
Mr. Jeremy Issacharoff, Deputy Chief of Mission for the Embassy of Israel
Brigadier General in Reserve Relik Shafir of the Israeli Air Force
Advertisement - story continues below
It was April 15, 2001 — When the rockets started.
Since then there has been over 3,000 rockets shot into Israel from Gaza.
We've tried to avoid open conflict. The rate of rocket fire began to increase over the past few days since the end of the so-called ceasefire. The ceasefire allowed Hamas to stock up on weapons and to add long range missiles to their arsenal. Israel exhausted diplomatic options before the military options. Hamas is very aware that Abu Massen is gaining more assistance from the West and Arab nations. That may a reason that Hamas increased attacks on Israel.
The goal is to cripple the terrorist infrastructure of Hamas.

–Primary purpose. Israel is using all of its resources for this objective. We don't wish to see a return to the status quo. We want to deter Hamas from using military operations for political gain. Hamas is being targeted. Only Hamas. On the other hand, Hamas's only target are Israeli civilians.
89 trucks of aide have passed through to Gaza. 93 more trucks have moved into Gaza today. Israel is making every effort to continue to move trucks of relief supplies into the strip. Any policy of appeasement at this time will only allow more attacks in the region. The US Administration stated that Hamas was responsible. It is imperative that Israel be allowed to continue at least so that Hamas will not be allowed to claim victory.

Question: What is the exit strategy?
–We are not in Gaza. We are pinpointing Hamas and their ability to attack Israel. We are still assessing the situation. We may need a ground operation. The goal is to cripple the capability of Hamas. The ones who need to think of an exit strategy are Hamas.
General Shafir spoke to us from the field– Right now he is in Ashkelon. It has taken 39 hits from Qassam rockets. There are not too many people out in the streets right now. We hear the sound of helicopters and planes in the air heading to the Gaza Strip. We hope that Hamas will run out of willpower or firepower, whichever comes first.
Question: Pamela Geller– Please talk more about the mission?
— We are trying at this point to defend our citizens. We have to keep half a million people in southern Israel out of harm's way. We are not willing to fore go our ethics. We will painstakingly take out the targets one by one if necessary. Israel withdrew from Gaza in 2005. There is no desire to reoccupy the Gaza Strip.
In no way will we go in and set up a buffer zone.
Advertisement - story continues below
How affective the sorties especially the Gaza tunnels?
— We have taken out about 40 tunnels the first day. Most of these have caved in. The whole infrastructure has caved in and they are destroyed. Today there were more attacks on newly found tunnels. We've found it's a hunt. We've warned residents with leaflets and then bombed the tunnels.
Question: Goals? A bottom line is a ceasefire with Hamas still in control?
— It's still premature to answer that. We want to make sure the situation on the ground has dramatically changed. Smuggling has been a problem up to now. It has to be addressed in a fundamental way.

Question: Jim Hoft- The Bush Administration has been supportive of Israel. Are there any concerns about the support of the incoming Obama Administration?
Obama went to Sderot, Israel and said,
"If someone was sending rockets into
my house where my two daughters sleep at night, I'm going to do everything
in my power to stop that."
We see a large level of understanding with the Obama team. We have to keep a focus. The contacts before the election with the Obama Team were good. We took this initiative out of our own concerns and the situation we faced and not because of events elsewhere.

Question: What about Hezbollah?
We have seen no military signs in the north. We have not seen Hezbollah movement.
Atlas Shrugs has more from the conference call.


text: There's no doubt about it: We live in the information age, and there aren't many aspects of our lives that aren't improved or influenced by technology. Many of the latest technological advancements now allow us to make changes sitting at a desk entering a few keystrokes into a computer. But that doesn't change the fact that we will still always need people who know how to work with their hands, and aren't afraid to "get under the hood" and deal with wiring and circuitry.
