This year has been full of doubts, flip-flopping, and wondering if I made the right decision. In one moment I am happy, confident, and blazing forward. In the next moment I am hesitant, untrusting, and overwhelmed with fear. Luckily, the latter moments are not in the majority. But the mere fact that they exist bothers me. All the books and articles say it takes two years to heal from infidelity as a betrayed spouse. But what does it truly mean to be healed?
To love is to be intensely vulnerable. To choose love means we also choose to know the loss of love. We are raised to believe that love is the antidote to loneliness, and all the emotions that accompany being alone: sadness, rejection, misery, and heartbreak. We live in a world that equates love with hope. But the truth is that choosing to love another person is the equivalent of asking them to hold a glass egg forever – at some point it will be dropped. And heartbreak is, well, heartbreaking. I believed with all my heart that my marriage was unique, our love was pure and unbreakable. The heartbreak I felt, and sometimes I still feel, was as if I lost something essential to my existence. Sometimes I still yearn to touch what I lost; to grasp it in my hands, pull it tight into my chest, close my eyes, and cherish it one last time.
Recently a friend of mine posted this quote on Facebook:
Heartbreak is heart breaking. It is painful and it is paralyzing. But we cannot let it define our future. Love can break us into a million pieces but it can also fill all the dark places that we never thought could be filled. Love, at it's finest, feels as though I finally fit into myself. I clearly see myself, feel myself entirely, and my confidence exudes from my being when I give and receive love. Betrayal made me doubt all of that.
Somewhere along the path of healing I asked myself, repeatedly, did I choose the wrong man to marry? What if the answer is that we all choose wrong. It's impossible to expect I knew at 23 years old what my needs would be at 35 or 46 or 52. I chose my husband because he offered familiarity, a compliment to me. I chose him because I never felt love in the way he gave it to me. I needed him and he needed me back. For better or worse.
Is it ever possible to know if we married the right person?
Every time I begin to fall into the doubts that still linger in the shadows of my mind I remember that love does not mean perfection. Love is having hope that as we break we will recover. Love is having the courage to believe that heartbreak does not mean devastation. Loving is risky business but somehow it's the most desirable dream we share.
Sometimes I feel as if I am stuck in a Chinese finger trap – the more I pull, the more I am stuck in the same place. I just need to push, redefine the things I cherish, and move forward.

How to do online searches
Whatever you want, or need, to know about, the internet is probably your best place to start hunting for information. But while many people will try to advise you on what are the best search terms to type into Google or Bing, there's actually more to effective online searching than merely coming up with a good set of keywords.
For example, it's often useful to consider what type of information you want returned. If you want to know about, say, household security or the Battle of Hastings, don't just search for those terms. Add qualifiers in order to try to find authoritative, reliable information. My favourite such qualifier at the moment is "conference presentation" or "conference proceedings". Chances are, you'll find the information you're looking for in the form of a PowerPoint presentation, prepared by someone who knows what they're talking about and made available free of charge.
A couple of months ago, a major SharePoint conference took place in Barcelona, Spain. Registering to attend the conference would have cost around $1000. But all of the presentations can now be downloaded free of charge from http://www.sharepointeurope.com/community/member/presentation-archive by anyone who's interested.
All the common browsers have a number of shortcuts but some are not as well-known as others. Here are nine helpful browser hot keys and shortcuts that you may not be aware of.
1. Do a reverse search on an image
2. Quickly restore a closed tab
3. Quick way to see the source code of a web page
4. Quick ways to open an incognito window
5. Easy way to open the home page
6. Quick way to open History
7. Quickly delete the browser cache
8. Override cache and reload fresh page
9. View the browser cache
And there you have it - nine ways to speed up your Internet browsing.

How to use a Windows Phone
Congratulations on your new windows phone. This is a basic manual to get you up and running. Some photo samples can be seen at the end of the blog.
Navigating the Windows Phone is dead simple. Anyone can do it: you have the home screen (the equivalent of the Start screen in Windows 8) and another screen with all the apps and settings. That's it!
The main screen has a list of default tiles(icons of the applications). The rest of your applications are accessed by swiping to the left using the touch screen. To return to the main screen use the back button at left end of the screen. Or use the windows button in the bottom middle of the screen. Better to use the back button as it closes all applications on the way back.
1.The colour of the tiles can be changed by: tap the "settings" tile, (looks like a small clog or spike wheel) if this tile is not in the main screen, swipe the screen to the left to access list of applications, then swipe up the list to "settings". In "setting" you will find two heading lists: SYSTEMS and APPLICATIONS by swiping left and right.
Under SYSTEMS go to "theme", choose your new colour. Use the back arrow at bottom left of screen to return to main screen. Or use the "window" button at bottom of the screen.
2.To put a shortcut on the main-screen of the phone of an application from the app list, press on the application until 3 options pop up:
a. pin to start,
b. Rate and review
c. uninstall.
To change and move the TILES on the HOMESCREEN, press and hold long on the TILE, options will appear to either DELETE the shortcut or expand it to a big TILE or small TILE, or move to another location on the mainscreen, useful to arrange your layout.
WIFI and SETTINGS
To switch on the phones wifi, again go to "settings"(worth while to have this pinned to the start screen). In setting you will find two lists: SYSTEMS and APPLICATIONS by swiping left and right. In SYSTEMS: Tap on WiFi from the list and tap ON. This will drain the battery faster, so be sure to turn it off when not in use. The phone has a battery saver which can be accessed in Settings.
Internet Data can also be turned on from "settings" if you are allowed from your network. If you have free internet data allowance you can "share" it using the "internet Sharing". Eg..for the ipad etc.
LOCATION is also here, this has to be ON to use the SAT NAV (NOKIA DRIVE), Turn OFF when not in use as very heavy on the battery.
" The included Nokia Drive is an excellent satnav application, part of the reason I went for this phone was after my standalone Garmin satnav failed I wanted a phone with a decent satnav built in and Nokia Drive is reported to be about the best available. The maps are stored on the device so doesn't require a data connection when in use (just download the counties you want in advance over WiFi) so you won't eat up all your data allowance or run into trouble if driving in areas with poor mobile coverage. It's almost as good as my previous standalone Garmin but more convenient not to carry a separate device, has free worldwide lifetime map updates and the whole phone cost less that the standalone Garmin did but does a heck of a lot more! Recommend to keep the phone plugged into the charger in the car while you use it."
This is where you can get free or paid applications. You will need an LIVE.IE email account or a HOTMAIL one to use the MARKETPLACE.. Free to get a "live.ie " email address. Just register. Of course you can still access your gmail emails, as well as othersl, just download the gmail app. Turn on WiFi before accessing the MARKETPLACE. If it's not on a shortcut on the main screen, swipe left to goto the application list and swipe down to MARKETPLACE.
Tap on MARKETPLACE, either Tap on "NOKIA COLLECTION" to see a list Nokia recommends or tap on the magnifying icon at the end of the screen to bring up the search bar if you know what you want, type in what your looking for,
I recommend the following to install:
If your phone is keypad locked( recommend for security) you can access the camera quickly by pressing the far right camera button (on the same side as the volume and start switch) with the screen facing you. Release the button once the camera loads. The Nokia Lumia 800 or 820 have a 8 mp camera.
PRESS THE CAMERA BUTTON HALFWAY DOWN and hold till you see the the flashing frame steadying (it will beep), then press the button the rest of the way to take a good photo. This allows the lens to adjust to the subject. The application STEADYCAM is good cause it won't allow a photo taken till the phone is steady.
Pin "PICTURES" from application list to main screen. Tap to open it, Tap on " CAMERA ROLL" to access latest images. Tap on the image you want to share or upload. Tap on the three little dots on bottom right of the image. A list of options will appear. To save to "ONEDRIVE" ( previously called skydrive until SKY TV objected) . Tap on "SHARE" choose either your email or "JDB FOR FACEBOOK" having previously installed it. The first time it will ask for your FACEBOOK password, after that it's saved. Type in an explanation for the image or add another image using the + icon. When finished, tap the icon on the bottom left of the screen,if you tap on the three dots it will tell you what the two icons are for. That's it, it's uploaded to FACEBOOK.
Sample of the photos taken by the Nokia Lumia 800 can be seen by clicking on the link below.

Literacy in Ireland
In the past literacy was considered to be the ability to read and write. Today the meaning of literacy has changed to reflect changes in society and the skills needed by individuals to participate fully in society. It involves listening, speaking, reading, writing, numeracy and using everyday technology to communicate and handle information.

Is wild willful? This question came to mind reading this essay. Is it willful in the same sense as we know wilfulness to mean acting out however we please? I don't know. I don't think so.

He's been busy looking after his bees and working on other projects but October 2017 sees County Antrim's Junior Johnson release a new three-track EP entitled 'Coulda Done Better'.
Opening with the rocking 'Born In The Wrong Time', the listener is immediately caught up in a fiery country rock tune that features some swirling Hammond sounds from keyboard player John McCullough.
From Junior's snarling vocal through to the distorted guitar of EP producer Rory Donaghy, the song unfolds and conveys the listener on a tale of regret for missed events and opportunities.
'Taking Too Long To Leave' is a gentler country ballad which in the classic fashion tells the tale of a downtrodden character. In this case, the protagonist in the song is the lonely storyteller we all know and have met at parties.
This is the person who constantly lives in the past and relies on former glories and loans from friends just to get along. Always the last leave the pub or the party because ultimately they've nothing to go home to. As well as knowing someone like this it's also more than possible that more than one of us has been that person at one time or another.
'Kiss The Ones You Love' is a gentle reminder to us all to appreciate the loved ones that we think will be around forever and often take for granted. Before too long they are gone and then when it's often too late we find just how much we relied on them.
Those of us familiar with Junior's recent live shows will know him primarily as a solo acoustic artist whose songs are clever, observational and tinged with humour. This collection featuring a full band not only showcases all those talents in a sharp and concise no-nonsense way, it also shows a capable and confident band leader.
It's great to see him back in action again and you could do a lot worse than pick up a copy of this delightful collection.

I'm currently half way through this book.
I bought it on my trip to Melbourne over Christmas. Having read one of Louis Fitzgibbon's books on the Katyn massacre a few months previously, I was expecting that Annihilation Zones would give its subject a similar scholarly treatment. In retrospect, considering the bookshop where I bought it, I was possibly naive in that expectation. Especially as I was already familiar with Polyester's preferred literature – if not its mission statement.
AZ focuses on three mass murder events during the 20th Century: the Japanese grab for conquest in eastern Asia, the slave camp industry engineered by Stalin, and Pol Pot's insane killing spree in Cambodia. The potential in those topics for commentary upon the darkness in men's souls is obvious, but the author manages most of the time to avoid philosophical explorations. AZ is history in the same sense that Star Trek is science. A few generally known facts are convenient points around which to weave a rich fantasy. I've got nothing against playing with history – one of the best books written on the Great South Land is Russell Braddon's Images of Australia, and that reads like a collaboration between Lewis Carroll and Joseph Heller. It was dryly funny. AZ is heavy with overdescription and so horrific in parts that reading through constitutes a form of self-torture.
It's not one to put in your grandmother's Christmas stocking. Practically everything is coloured by the author's interest in cannibalism, homosexual rape, and torture. The first section – the only part I've completed so far – examines the experiments carried out by Unit 731 and the treatment of POWs. Tortures inflicted by the Japanese guards seem too obscene to be true – I take what reassurance I can from a comment by a reviewer at Amazon, that the book cites no sources for its contents. Obviously someone thought up that monstrousness; I'd rather it was an English academic who pulled the wings off too many butterflies in his childhood. This is of course pure speculation on my part but not unreasonable. At any rate, better him thinking of it than crazed sons of Nippon running a POW camp.
There is only one darkly amusing moment in this part of the book. The author claims, in what is for him rather roundabout terms, that after the Japanese surrender in 1945 General Douglas MacArthur took the Emperor Hirohito aside and gave him a taste of the pink toothbrush.
Which is marginally more credible than a meeting between Stalin and Hitler, which the author claims took place outside Lvov in October 1939.
The meeting was a disaster from the first moment… As soon as Hitler and Stalin had come face to face, on either side of a map-strewn wooden table, they had begun a ferocious argument about the future division and form of Europe… The interpreters were unable to keep up with the angry exchange of voices, and the debate soon lapsed into incoherent exclamations from Hitler and expectorated insults from Stalin, whose temper, when provoked, was brutal. Stalin wanted immediate control of the Baltic states, and – increasingly furious at the sneering Hitler – he abruptly pushed aside the maps which the pair had already scrawled over with pencil strokes, announcing that was going to arbitrarily seize all of eastern Europe, and half of Germany to boot. The heated argument descended into an exchange of blows, and the two dictators' interpreters fled from the room leaving behind only the terrified valets. Although Hitler was the younger man by over ten years, Stalin's stocky build and long training in the Tiflis seminary soon gave him the upper hand, and he was able to pin the gasping Hitler on his stomach on the table and cursorily sodomise him. Within fifteen seconds it was all over. After glaring at one another for the last time, the two dictators exited from either end of the railway carriage. By the evening, they were both back in their centres of power.
I suspect that that's as good as AZ is going to get. Which is a shame; the author definitely possesses a skerrick or two of storytelling ability.
It's just a shame he tries to disguise his gift for fiction by pretending historical accuracy.

March 2017 • Photo Album #2 • Bicultural Familia • Harlingen, Texas
Hola familia! Every month, I put together a collection of photos from our day-to-day life here in Harlingen, Texas.
I worked as a photographer for years and have always had a passion for it, but sometimes life catches up with you. And before you know it, you're too busy to pursue the things you love.
So, as part of my #Fearless2017 Challenge to myself, I'm dedicating this space to share my photos and track my progress and improvement.
You're welcome to follow my updates on Instagram and you follow the whole series by clicking here: Bicultural Familia Photo Album Series
And if you want to join in and have a photo album to share, please feel free to drop the link in the comments below this post. I would love to watch your progress too!
Now…on to the photos!
My daughter absolutely loves looking through cookbooks and one of her favorites is the Paleta's book by Fany Gerson. She's also the author of My Sweet Mexico and the forthcoming Mexican Ice Cream book. Check her out, because her books are awesome and filled with gorgeous, full color photos!

Above are the four books included in our giveaway with Sweet Life (more on that below). Here are the links to where you can find them:
- The Tacos of Texas by Mando Rayo and Jarod Neece
- Taquería Tacos by Leslie Limon
- Muy Bueno by Yvette Marquez-Sharpnack, Veronica Gonzalez-Smith and Evangelina Soza
- Latin Twist by Vianney Rodriguez and Yvette Marquez-Shapnack
I had my good friend and fellow blogger, Vianney Rodriguez from Sweet Life, over recently to co-host a Facebook Live cooking show! Her series, #CookingWithSweetLife, features a ton of awesome Texans who share their passion for great, local food. Above is a shot I got of her during our mini photoshoot. Oh yeah, and if you love her "Raised on Selena" T-shirt and want one for yourself, you can find that here: Raised on Selena T-Shirt
The two pictures above are of a beautiful Pineapple Paloma cocktail that we made with Vianney and shot together. The pictures came out gorgeous! You can find more pictures from Vianney on her blog. Just click the link to the recipe in this paragraph. For these photos, we used Vianney's studio lamp, which created some beautiful deep shadows and lots of glimmer on the fruits and drink glass.
Dulce Vida Tequila is wonderful, super smooth spirit made right here in Texas. It's Vianney's favorite, for obvious reasons (Dulce Vida = Sweet Life), and so she brought a bottle to share with us. For the shots of the bottle, I set it on the table and used natural window light to try to recreate similar shadows to the images above.
The three shots above I took in my backyard on sunny day with a little bit of cloud cover. I used my favorite cobalt blue drinking glass and tried to get some illuminating shots that would show off that gorgeous, rich color. The blue background you see in the shot? That's a stadium chair that I rested a flat wooden crate on top of. Then I laid my cloth surface and the glass, bottle and garnishes. I love the way it turned out! Outdoor lighting is still my first love…lol.
I practiced a little more and shot these three photos of flour and corn tortillas for a blog post. Taken on the same day, in the same lighting scenario. The photos came out really nice and I love the addition of the avocado and the lime. If you're interested, you can check out the blog post here: Corn Tortillas vs Flour Tortillas
I took these two photos of baby Antonio on my phone and I absolutely love the expressions I caught. Look at that gorgeous little smile! ???
The photo above is a hilarious shot I got of Lilyana when we were filming our family vlog. She saw a butterfly and was terrified of it. You HAVE to see the video! It's adorable and hilarious. Here's the link: She's Terrified of Butterflies…LOL
We also started using Instagram Stories this month! In our InstaStories, we're sharing daily pictures and videos of the kids and family activities. The neighborhood cat that Lily helps takes care of just had her kittens, so we're sharing some adorable pictures of them too! If you're not already following us, come check us out at instagram.com/biculturalfamilia!
And here's one last shot of all three of the kittens together! Adorable! ♥
Join us on the first of every month!
That's it for this month! In the meantime, you can follow us on social media for more updates (links at the bottom of this post). And don't forget to stop back over on the first of every month to see our next round-up of pictures!

The Global FlyFisher
Simply the Best Place to go for Online Fly Fishing and Fly Tyinghttps://globalflyfisher.com/picture/crowds

The Kokanee salmon gather in huge numbers where the Taylor and Gunnison streams run together. So does the anglers! This crowd was firmly set on their spots and not willing to give up their particular positions. The top man (right) would catch 10-20 fish for each 5 the second man would get. In that time the bottom man (left) would get nothing while the guy upstream from him would maybe get one fish!
This place would surely work well with a one-cast-one-step policy!

I remember canoeing ...
I remember canoeing on the Bois Brule in northern Wisconsin one fall day and when I would come around the bend and spot 10 to 12 people fishing steelhead. With as close together as they were (closer than this picture in several spots) I couldn't figure out how they could mend line or cast to a different lie.
A canoe does give an advantage in that you can get past the public walk in access points. Only problem is working out a shuttle. (2 canoe liveries in town, or use a bike)

I forgot to add this late December photo shoot to the blog before my "That's A Wrap" post. Sorry Rachel!
In April Rachel is getting married to the brother of Michele, a bride I did several years ago. As soon as they became engaged I was called by their fabulous (and my favorite) wedding planner Jean Wilco to ask me to hold the date.
Many months later the engagement photo shoot was upon us and I finally got to meet Rachel. Our meeting could not have gone more smoothly. We were on the exact same page from makeup looks to wardrobe. It was one of the easiest previews I have ever done. She is just adorable! My wish for 2012 is that I can make all of my clients as happy as I did Rachel.
So here are my obligatory before and after shots, followed by a breathtaking photo taken later that day on the beach by Alan Wilco. I can't wait to see the rest!
By the way, aren't "Touch" lip liner, "Honeymoon" lipstick and "Tie The Knot" blush by The Blushing Bride Cosnetics the perfect natural colors to wear for a beach photo shoot!

Aerocar (Taylor)
As an ever increasing number of new motorists take to the roads every year, traffic jams become more prevalent. Most of us just sit and accept these as one of the many curses of the modern world. Others try to formulate a solution with seemingly outlandish ideas, such as sprouting wings and flying over and away from the problem.
One man, Moulton B. Taylor [Molt to his friends] devoted almost half a century of his life trying to bring that very idea to fruition. Born in Portland, Oregon on the 12th September 1912, Taylor graduated in Aeronaughtical Engineering at the University of Washington in 1935, but joined the U.S. Navy's aviation cadet programme due to lack of work in his particular field. This enabled him to fly a variety of aircraft and when his contract expired in 1939 he started Airphone Products, a small business manufacturing aircraft radios of his own design. This came to an abrupt end when he was recalled to duty as a Naval Reserve to work on the Navy's missile programme shortly before the start of the war with Japan in 1941. On his return to civilian life in 1946, he and a few friends decided to produce a small 2-seat amphibian called the 'Duckling'. However, this design was put aside when Taylor was inspired by the sight of Robert E. Fulton's 'Airphibian' which was basically a small road going vehicle that could be transformed into an aircraft by adding a detachable 'fixed' wing and fuselage assembly.
Taylor was impressed with the original idea, but didn't like the way that the detached wings took up an aeroplane space when left at the airfield. He envisaged a detachable aircraft component that would fold into a towable trailer or garaged when not in use, using a minimum of floor space.
He called it simply the AEROCAR.
Already heavily involved with the sale of plans and D.I.Y. light aircraft components, he became obssessed with his new project and work on the AEROCAR began. In February 1948 a quarter scale model was passed over to the Aeronaughtical Laboratory at the University of Washington for assessment and a full scale prototype was started in July 1948. In early 1949, he sold shares in a proposed company and built a factory, with offices and a grass airstrip on a plot of land in Longview, Washington State which became AEROCAR Incorporated. Nine months later in October 1949, the first AEROCAR prototype was ready for it's initial testing, both as a car and as an aircraft. The car component consists of a fully functioning 2-seat road car constructed from fibreglass sheeting over a steel and aluminium frame. Two normal size car doors are fitted. A three spoke steering wheel, used both on the road and in the air, is positioned on the left hand side of a dashboard that carries all the instruments and switches applicable to both road going use and as an aircraft. Two seats are arranged side by side in the very narrow cabin and the divided front windscreen is fitted with wipers.
The AEROCAR Model I's had drum brakes to all four small diameter road wheels that are used for stopping both as a car and as an aeroplane. Normal head and tail lights using a 12 volt system are fitted for road use and the horn becomes a stall warning indicator when used for flying. This results in the horn blowing a few times during the landing process. Uniquely, the rear mounted engine, with it's three speed 'crash' gearbox, drives the front wheels and this is due to the rear wheels being used for take-off and landing.
The aeroplane attachment has folding wings that fasten to the sides of the long tapering fuselage, which has a 'Y' shaped [or butterfly] tail with a two blade 'pusher' propeller at the end. Two very small wheels positioned in each of the leading edge wing tips allow the whole assembly to be towed, tail first, behind the car. These wing tip wheels were later made retractable. The length of the fuselage necessitated a propeller shaft approximately 10 feet long to connect the engine in the rear of the car to the propeller and this gave possibly the most critical problem of the many encountered in the design - power pulses as the shaft rotated.
Several ideas were tried without success until Taylor read of a French idea called a 'Flexidyne' which is a dry fluid coupling in the form of tiny steel shot that packs into a near solid mass in use. Incredibly, it was being manufactured in America and this eventually solved the problem.
To assemble the wings and fuselage to the car, the cover that holds the rear number plate has to be lifted in order to locate the long propshaft onto the splined shaft that protrudes from the rear of the engine. The fuselage then fastens to the body at two points and until this is assembled correctly, it is impossible to start the engine
When assembled securely, the rudder pedals, which lie on the floor during road use, rise into position each side of the normal pedals and the front brakes are automatically isolated from the braking system. Over time, with practice, the whole assembly can be carried out by one in a few minutes.
The prototype AEROCAR Model I had a 135hp Lycoming 0-290 engine that was followed by a pre-production prototype with a 143hp Lycoming 0-320 engine with which the AEROCAR's airworthiness certificate was granted by the CAA (Civil Aviation Authority) on the 13th December 1956.
Taylor was given approval to build up to twelve more AEROCAR's for sale to chosen private owners throughout the United States who would then be monitored as further experimental trials. But only four more AEROCAR Model I's were built and these were available for immediate sale at $25,000 each.
In 1961, Taylor arranged with Ling-Temco-Vought, based in Dallas, to build 1,000 AEROCAR's. To cover the cost of tooling necessary, a firm order of at least 500 would be required, but unfortunately just under half that number paid their deposit and the deal fell through. The 'AERO-PLANE' followed the Model I's and this became known as the AEROCAR II, although it was purely a flying machine.
Taylor was always aware that the car component would be the troublesome part of the AEROCAR because of the constantly changing automobile styling trends and the very strict American safety requirements. With the Model I car component now looking very dated in it's design, Taylor decided that something quite a bit more that just a 'facelift' would be required. He bought back one of the early Model I's that had been involved in an accident and set about restyling it and adopting more innovative features. He used the 143hp Lycoming 0-320 engine. The new full width two door body was more sleek in appearance, with a front that resembled the Jaguar e-type styling on a very much smaller scale.
He called this one the AEROCAR III.
The four road wheels were made to retract and had three positions.
1. Fully extended for take-off and landing and attaching the wings/fuselage assembly.
2. Partially retracted, giving better stability for normal road use.
3. Fully retracted for flying.
The landing gear had independent torsion bar springing, hydraulic shock absorbers and front disc brakes. A new towing system was fitted and improvements were made, such as flush rivets and a better fit of fuselage to the car body. The propeller was moved further away from the tailplane to improve propeller afficiency and reduce noise. A larger fuel tank of 32 gallons gave a flight range of up to 500 miles and a new method of dampening the drive shaft noise using rubber was being tested. The interior has deep pile floor covering and a console fitted between the two bucket seats that carry's the gear control and ash tray. Arm rests are fitted and a walnut rim steering wheel fronts a foam padded instrument panel with walnut inlay. Two speed wipers, dual washers and dual interior defrosters are fitted and the doors have large pockets.
August 1970 saw the Ford Motor Company showing interest in AEROCAR III, but the oil crisis and the escalating number of Japanese car imports into America put an end to further negotiations and only one AEROCAR III was built.
Sadly for Taylor, circumstances dictated that what has to be the most advanced and practical flying car to date would never actually go into production. But the fact that the AEROCAR's had been proven and had hundreds of flying hours to their credit was testiment to the thought and inventiveness of one of the best engineering brains ever to undertake an answer to the traffic problem.
Despite suffering two strokes, Molt Taylor started the design of AEROCAR Model IV using a Geo Metro car for the car component and a second engine to power it as an aircraft.
In November 1995, Molt Taylor was inaugurated into the Hall of Fame by the EAA [Experimental Amateur built Aircraft] but the excitement of the occasion was too much for him and he suffered his third and fatal stroke aged 82.
All five road-going AEROCAR's still exist, either in the hands of private collectors or in Museums, but only one is flying at this time. At least two have been re-painted and one was converted by Taylor into an AEROCAR Model III making it a little difficult to identify some of the AEROCAR's seen in photographs.
The non-roadable aircraft produced by the company in kit form benefitted from the AEROCAR design.
An amphibian called the 'Sooper Coot' has a high mounted engine over the cabin and permanently attached wings that fold as on the AEROCAR, allowing it to be towed tail first behind a car.
The 'Mini-Imp' and 'Micro-Imp' has the same permanently attached folding wings, a long fuselage and 'pusher' propeller with an inverted tail.
The 'Bullet' has permanently attached folding wings, long fuselage with 'pusher' propeller and a 'Y' shaped tail.
Although Molt Taylor's AEROCAR IV was stopped in the design stage, the AEROCAR name was to be continued in 1999 by American Ed Sweeney, owner of the only flying AEROCAR Model I (N102D) who has the idea of adopting a Lotus Elise as the car component for his AEROCAR 2000.

The following information is submitted by a contributor to Motorbase
It was not Fulton's concept that so impressed Molt Taylor that he,Taylor, would decide to build a flying car.
When Taylor came to Longview WA after WWII, his plan was to build an Amphibian,the Duckling. In search of a licensed A&E man which he would need, he met Jess Minnick but, he, Jess, was not interested in Taylor's Duckling project/idea. However,during their discussion, Minnick shared his idea and his picture for a folding wing design for a flying car. Taylor was impressed. He asked Minnick if he would like to build something like that, the answer was, "all my life I wanted to"... The rest is history! Molt Taylor would be the Promoter, Jess Minnick would build it ~ It was called "Aerocar" .
About Jess Minnick ~ EAA's membership magazine, Sport Aviation, wrote;
"Jess (Minnick) was a remarkably skilled designer and builder of systems and always came up with extremely clever ways of making complex components like the Aerocars folding wing and removable tail cone work well." AND, "The Aerocar became a lifelong obsession with both Molt (Taylor) and Jess (Minnick) and they were a perfect team."

10 Best Beach Vacations for People Who Love Cats
Aoshima and Tashirojima, Japan
You might consider your own cat your lucky charm, but in Japan, all cats are revered as symbols of good fortune. Perhaps that's why the very best real estate—Japan's picturesque, remote islands—is crawling with kitties. On the islands of Aoshima and Tashirojima, among others, cats outnumber humans as much as six to one. Ferries run daily to these popular feline-filled islands, making trips for kitten snuggles fairly simple. Can't pull yourself away from the cuteness? Tashirojima offers cat-shaped guest houses for overnight stays.
Amsterdam, Netherlands
While not oceanside, Amsterdam is a cat lover's paradise. The city is home to the world's only floating cat sanctuary, The Poezenboot, or "Catboat," which sits on the picturesque Singel Canal. The sanctuary started in the '60s, when a cat caretaker living alongside the canal pondered the question, "If people could live on houseboats…why not cats?" (Aversion to water aside, of course.) The non-profit is open to the public with free entry, though donations are encouraged. Outside of the Catboat, true feline fanatics will also want to pay a visit to the Katten Kabinet, a cat-themed art museum. And cat video enthusiasts (read: everyone) can plan their Netherlands visit around Cinemeow, Europe's first cat-themed film festival which takes place in and around Amsterdam.
Key West, Florida
As legend has it, the tradition of Ernest Hemingway's famous six-toed cats originated when a single six-toed feline, whom Hemingway named Snow White, was gifted to him by a ship's captain. Today, 40-50 polydactyl (six-toed) cats live on his original Key West property—now a museum—many of whom are descended from Snow White. The charming 1850s-built home and gardens are a must-see for everyone when visiting this laid-back island paradise. Cat lovers will also not want to miss a sunset show by Dominique Lefort and his flying house cats. LeFort, a character himself to say the least, is a Mallory Square mainstay who trains cats (yes, it's possible) to do tricks, including jumping through hoops of fire.
San Francisco, California
While cat cafes might seem ubiquitous today, just a few years ago you'd be hard-pressed to find a place outside of your home where you can sip lattes and cuddle kittens at the same time. In 2014, San Francisco became one of the first cities in the U.S. to lead the cat café charge, with the opening of Cat Town in Oakland and the Japanese-style KitTea Cat Café downtown. When you're not snuggling adoptable fur babies, get educated at the Cat Museum, a non-profit center that explores the evolution of the relationship between cats and people.
Tampa, Florida
Not all cats are made for cuddling (unfortunately), but that doesn't mean you can't admire them from afar. At Tampa's Big Cat Rescue, a non-profit sanctuary for abused and abandoned big cats, you can get acquainted (as much as possible, anyway) with 80-plus lions, tigers, cougars, and bobcats. Ticket prices vary based on how much activity you'd like to see, with premium tours inviting guests to witness things like feeding and play times.
San Diego, California
If you need another reason to plan a trip to Southern California in January, here it is: The San Diego Food and Water Bowl. At this famous cat show—the largest in the Western U.S.—guests can witness two full days of cat-filled fun, from an agility course to a beauty contest featuring 450 exotic cats from around the country. Outside of the show, cat lovers can sip local coffee while petting adoptable cats at The Cat Café, or, just outside of San Diego, pay a visit to the Friends of Cats shelter, a no-kill sanctuary that takes in unwanted cats for the duration of their lives. The shelter encourages visitors to stop in and cuddle, groom, or sit with the resident cats six days a week.
Mykonos, Greece
While some might flock to this white-washed Greek island for the nightlife and beaches, others go for the feline fix. The Cyclades island chain is home to its own breed of domestic cats, which roam the cobblestoned streets as freely as the tourists. Like the scenery, the famous cats have become the subject of many photos over the years—and while you can certainly snap your own, you can also take home a cat photo book as a souvenir.
Old San Juan, Puerto Rico
In this picturesque historic city, cats are as much a part of the identity as the colorful buildings and charming cobblestoned streets. The felines were first brought to the island to rid the area of rats; now, the mostly feral population can be seen roaming the narrow streets or basking along the rocky waterfront. If you're visiting for a week or a weekend, consider spending an afternoon (or two!) volunteering with Save a Gato, the non-profit organization that feeds and cares for the large feral cat population.
Seattle, Washington
Maybe vacationing for you means bringing little Fluffy along. At the Kimpton Alexis Hotel—and all Kimpton Hotels—your pet is as much a guest as you are. Expect in-room amenities like beds, litter boxes, and scratching posts, and if your feline is social, they're also welcome to join you at the hotel's nightly wine hour. Of course, the nation's coffee capital also has its share of cat cafes—check out Seattle Meowtropolitan for an artisanal "Catpuccino" and a restorative cat yoga class, or Neko, where you can pair your espresso with various cat-shaped sweets.
If you've struggled to find like-minded cat people near you, you might want to visit the island of Malta. Here, caring for the island nation's feral cats is a group effort, undertaken by more than a thousand locals. While visitors can snap plenty of photos of felines roaming the picturesque island streets, many cats also congregate in the St. Julians Cat Village, a famous small corner lot outfitted with shelters, food, and plush toys for cats to lounge in and around.

It's a busy haircut place and they're open 7 days a week. Only thing I would recommend to them is to have a clipboard and let people sign in. It lets new customers know how long the wait is and what number they are in line. Welcuts on Patterson Drive SW is located in a busy strip along with a Shell gas station, 7 Eleven, Alterations, Poco Loco pizza and Schooner's Pub.
You can see from the banner on the door that they are a startup. Using Vistaprint for free business cards and cheap banners, Welcuts is well on their way to being a profitable haircut and beauty salon. They charge $17.95 for men's cut and $20.95 for ladies' cut. A bang trim is $6.00.
On Sunday, they were in full force with 3 hairdressers on the floor. There was a constant stream of new customers from 12 noon to 1:00pm. Customers peeked in and saw people waiting did not go pass the doorway, turned around and headed for their cars. There's no reception and people just don't want to wait. But they're too busy to tell them that it's no more than a 10 minute wait because they're fast workers.
One thing I did observe, everyone takes haircutting for granted. If you want a haircut, please tell them what you want. Don't just sit there and expect them to shave it off. How much do you want should be stated upfront. If you want layering, say so. If you want a shampoo, say so. They can't read your minds!

Day 17 Of
The Thirty Day
Social Media Challenge
Introduction: I have two reasons for writing this piece today. First is to show you the power of social media to build celebrity, credibility and profits in your business. The other reason is to build upon what we covered yesterday in the article about using the story lesson model.
I want you to use what we discussed yesterday to read between the lines and see how this article was constructed. At the end of the article I will talk more about how I constructed this.
How I Met Jason
This is also about a way to use social media to generate huge results, it's not meant to be a do this, get this model. In other words, what I am showing you here, while you can follow this model exactly to produce (or to try to) the same results, the goal here is to show you the possibilities and open your mind to other ways.
In day 6 of the social media challenge I told you about Jason Silverman's method for avoiding failure that he made me adopt. It's really kept me focused. I haven't had to send a single check yet.
What Happens In Vegas
Didn't Stay In Vegas
I first met Jason in Las Vegas at a convention for martial arts school owners put on by a relatively young industry association. I was already a member of a brand new program he and his wife had created called Powerful Words.
Their program was a character education licensing program for martial arts school owners. His wife, Dr. Robyn Silverman Phd., created the content as she was an expert in early child development. Jason handled all the marketing.
They originally created the program for their own martial arts school which Jason, as a martial artist. As an early adopter I can tell you it is a must have for any school.
Basically, they create a professional curriculum that school owners can adopt as their own that teaches character education. This added a huge level of true value for a school. Essentially it turns a school from a kick/punch sweat box into an educational institute over night.
What this means for the school is instant credibility and authority. And with that, the school owner can charge a lot more because now they're not just teaching fighting. They're now educating.
So I finally got to meet the folks who's program I was using in my own school. There's was the first booth I actually stopped to talk to.
Shocking No One
Was Killed
They were way in the back on a far corner, hidden from everyone. So there wasn't much going on at their table. Except the incessant 'thwok' sound of a throwing knife hitting a piece of wood that the vendor behind them hung from the cloth divider. Me and Jason immediately bonded over the absurdity of that and my keen observation of what would happen if they missed the piece of wood and a knife came hurling through. I am still surprised Jason is alive today.
Jason and I were two marketers of a kind. We both followed the same methods and even had some of the same mentors. As I grew my school and he grew his program; Powerful Words, we kept in close touch (and still do) over all these years.
The Idea That
Changed Everything
A real stroke of genius was to film Dr. Robyn each month, educating school owners and parents on the character word of the current month. Each month they shot at least two videos introducing the word, talking about what would be taught and answering questions from parents.
These videos were syndicated to Youtube and some other video sites, social bookmarking sites, Facebook, Twitter and some other strategic places across the web like their blog. The key thing; they did this consistently for years. After a short time, there was a lot of great content out there on the internet.
But the power of social media, took it to even higher levels. They placed it on their channels and then school owners like me would share the video with our social media audience.
As one school owner, I had hundreds of fans. Imagine the reach with many school owners sharing all this content with their audiences?
And Then Along
Came Tyra Banks
One day, Jason answered a call from producers at the nationally syndicated Tyra Banks Show. They wanted Robyn to come into the studio and be a guest expert. They found her on Youtube.
Just going to pause this article for dramatic effect. They found her on Youtube.
She did a great job on the show so was asked back often. Then one day a regional Fox News producer asked her to be a guest on their show.
Fast forward to today and Dr. Robyn has been on the Today Show, Anderson Cooper, Good Morning America and gets calls for others all the time. It all started with a content driven social media campaign.
Me and Jason talk about every day. And years after they shot their first video it's still really exciting to hear what new door has opened for them thanks to their social content strategy.
Maybe this year you'll have a similar story to tell. All I know is if you create great content on a consistent basis, great things can happen.
Footnote: This turned out to be a pretty long article. But the lesson is simple. If you make great content (in this case, videos) that teach something, you're well-spoken and you do it regularly, there is a good chance really important people will see it.
But it's the story that paints the pleasing picture. The story line here is about how me and Jason met.
There are a lot of things within the story that have nothing to do with what the lesson was about. But these things move the story forward, build interest, bond reader and writer, and keep people reading.

When it comes to caring for your elderly there are so many important things you need to take into careful consideration. People always consider nursing home facilities and long term care. But the thing here is that when it comes to aging people they have very complex needs. Hence why in the recent years home support has increased for the older people.
When elders are cared for at home it is very important that their needs are met. Because it is one ways of giving more for the senior citizens. When they are taken care and if they are disable the greater their need will be. It is normal for you to come across issues where elderly people have said that, their daily needs are not always met by the ones that are taking care of them. In most cases the seniors do not receive the care and support they require. There is quite a gap in good home care provided to them.
Hence why if you are looking into home care for your elderly it is important to look at the right place. Home care services Singapore provide exceptional service and they know to take care of the elderly the right way. They have to be professionals in both personal and health care. It is very essential that they have to do their best in all their daily work. Every senior person is also a normal human. They should always be treated with care and respect. They have the same right that we all have. They have the right to good health and good health care as well.
Hence why if this duty of taking care of them is in the hands of an expert it will be taken care of well. Because it is a task that require unique catering for different people with different personalities. If you have to do this by yourself along with all your other daily work it can be quite the work load on your head. You might have a house to take care of and even kids. So it is quite normal for you to push it and even not give the required attention to someone you have to care for.
One thing is, when it comes to older people they also have the tendency to magnify petty issues and make it look very big. This can be a big stress factor for you, when you are trying nothing but the best for them. It is obviously the little thing that you may or may not do that affects them drastically. So if they are in the hands of a good home care taker it is all sorted for you.

Learning the Dangers of Improvised Explosive Devices in IraqFighting in Iraq has left a deadly legacy of bombs, grenades and improvised explosive devices (IEDs) in areas formerly held by Islamic State. The risks for civilians are great but often unknown, with these devices coming in the form of everyday objects, like toys, books and shoes. The Danish Demining Group (DDG) has reached over 220,000 people this year in its Risk Education sessions, which aim to increase awareness of threats and reduce casualties.
Stories of experiences with IEDs and other explosive remnants of war (ERW) are easy to come by in Iraq, with many left behind as reminders of Islamic State control. As the approximately three million civilians displaced by the fighting begin returning to their hometowns, the risk of casualties from these is rising, compounded by ongoing insecurity and lack of essential services. "Risk Education is needed to ensure that peoples' return is taking place as safely as possible in one of the most heavily contaminated countries in the world", says DDG Mine Risk Education Project Manager in Iraq, Noe Falk Nielsen.
The rise of Islamic State brought with it the proliferation of IEDs alongside more common weapons. IEDS are often disguised in everyday objects, heightening the danger. As Muhammed from the Kemyawe refugee camp describes, "We were living in peace when the terrorists entered our town and engaged with the security forces. The fight lasted for a while, but when the security forces came closer to the terrorists, the latter planted mines, UXOs and IEDs wherever they could: roads, houses and farms".
This has already led to the injury and death of numerous civilians unaware of how to identify and avoid IEDs and ERW. In Fallujah, eight year old Sajjad told DDG staff of a time he was playing in the streets when he found an object he had never seen before. "I did not know it was dangerous", he explained, until he threw the object and it exploded. He suffered nerve damage to his left hand as a result.
Ten year old Omer also suffered injury after an explosion from an unexploded mortar hiding in the debris of his family home. The accident, which occurred while he and his family were trying to clean and rebuild their home, represents the immense risk displaced people face upon their return.
Through Risk Education sessions, Nielsen describes, "DDG will work to make people understand the very real threat explosive remnants pose to lives, limbs and livelihoods and seek to make people adopt safer behaviour, aiming at reducing the number of victims as people start returning in numbers". DDG delivers sessions in refugee camps, schools and in communities more broadly, and distributes cards and posters to help spread the message once the sessions have ended.

Muhammed from Kemyawe Camp explained the benefit of risk education for himself and his family: "While the fight was still running we moved to Kemyawe Camp and there we took Risk Education lectures by DDG teams. These lectures were so useful to us. It taught us about mines, UXOs and IEDs, and how careful we must be when we deal with these explosives". After the liberation by security forces, he and his family were able to return home, remembering what they had been taught.

I've just had a set of 120 film photo prints back from AG Photo Lab this morning which I had cross processed. (Cross processing a film means that you take one type of film e.g.: 120 colour film and process it in the developing chemicals for slide films or vice versa.) Processing a film in this way gives some really intense and unexpected colour results.
The photos were taken with the Halina A1 camera I mentioned on this blog a couple of weeks back using a 120 colour Fuji slide film.
Received a Tweet from Bob Milner this morning. Tweeting that two photos from the Belmont Parish series are part of his latest Tweetart show.

Wondering how the blow out in interest rates is impacting commercial banks, which just happen to have substantial duration exposure in the form of various Treasury and MBS securities, not to mention loans, structured products and of course, trillions in IR swap, derivatives and futures? Wonder no more: the Fed's weekly H.8 statement, and specifically the "Net unrealized gains (losses) on available-for-sale securities" of commercial banks in the US gives a glimpse into the pounding that banks are currently experiencing. In short: a bloodbath.
After crashing from $15 billion to just $6 billion, the reported balance of net unrealized gains is barely positive for just the first time since April 2011. And to think this number had topped out at over $43 billion in December 2012. But the worst is that monthly drop in "gains" of $24 billion is the biggest by a wide margin since the Lehman collapse.
Note the crash in the long-term chart:
And zoomed in:
The skeptics will say: $6 billion? Big deal. The Fed did almost that much in its POMO last Wednesday. The issue, however, is that the AFS line, which runs through the Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income line as the last thing banks want is for MTM to crush their reported bottom line is merely a proxy for how rising rates impact on a snapshot basis the consolidated bank balance sheet of US banks, which at last check had $7.3 trillion in loans and leases (still below pre-Lehman levels) not to mention countless other undisclosed instruments that represent their "London Whale" equivalent prop positions, funded with customer deposits.
In other words, the shorthand is to look at the massacre that is going on in the AFS line and extrapolate it to all other levered commercial bank (and hedge fund) rate exposure. Expect math PhD-programmed GETCO algos that determine the marginal momentum of the S&P to figure this out some time over the next 2-3 weeks once banks begin reporting results that are not quite in line with expectations.

How would you rate the effectiveness of your franchisee group meetings? Most franchisors and franchisees have mixed feelings.
On one hand they value the opportunity to get together. But many franchisor executives say they are disappointed by what they see as a lack of engagement. A symptom of this can be dwindling attendances.
This does not need to be the case. I had breakfast with a client last week who was keen to tell me how he had implemented in his regional meetings some new group processes he had learnt from us.
He said, instead of the usual presentations to franchisees by him and his team, he asked his franchisees at the start of the meeting "What do you want to talk about?." They then created an agenda using our Group Scoop technique, which involves franchisees working in small groups to create a prioritised list.
He said it was the best meeting they'd had. Not only that, but every franchisee returned for the meeting the following month, keen to continue the discussions.
I am a fan of small group discussions because they greatly improve the quality of communication.
The injection myth
Successful communication is always a challenge because most of us fall for the trap of thinking it is about clearly informing people of what we want them to know. Social psychologist, Hugh Mackay, calls this "The Injection Myth" because it assumes people are passive receptacles willing to have our message injected into their brain.(By the way he has a great book called "why don't people listen?")
In reality it is what people do with our message that determines our success as communicators. This requires us to treat people as active participants in the communication process. The fact is they are going to interpret what they hear based on their hopes, fears, needs and beliefs.
For instance, you may tell a franchisee you want them to share financial information. But what they may hear is that you don't trust them, or you are going to use the information against them. You may say to someone you have come to help them with their business. But what they hear is you are going to interfere with their business. Get the point?
For this reason successful communication occurs when people put as much energy into listening as talking. And they check in occasionally to ensure the message being received is the message intended.
The power of small groups
When you are talking to a group of ten or more people it's hard to know how they have interpreted your comments. Even if you ask for questions, you will often get silence because most people do not like to speak in front of a group. Or you just get to hear (a lot) from the vocal minority.
Breaking people into smaller groups enables them to clarify what they have heard and formulate questions or comments which can then be safely communicated as coming from the group, rather than the individual. In this way we create more engagement and better quality communication.
So if you want to breath new life into your meetings try using small groups to get more participation and more effective sharing of information. If you need training or assistance with these processes give us a call.
Until next time,
Greg Nathan

Arrange Your Bedroom For Your Needs
Especially if you're starting in a room from scratch, it can be hard to figure out where you should place everything in a room. Your bedroom can be one of the most challenging rooms of the house to decorate. If you break down the room into small pieces, you can create a bedroom that's right for you. Bedrooms need to hold more than just a bed. In today's world, a bedroom can become a very multipurpose room.
Think Of The Components Of The Room
Bedrooms tend to be more of a multi-functional in a home due to the shifting nature of families. You do everything in there from sleep to watch television to get dressed in the mornings and evenings. This means that you'll need some or all of the following in your bedroom:
- Storage for clothing
- A comfy bed
- A media Center
- A chair
- Home office supplies
- Bookshelf
- Television stand
Whatever purpose that your bedroom has to serve is what you'll need in the room. This all depends upon the size of your home. You'll have to arrange the room accordingly after these parameters are set. Your bedroom should feel personal; a place of self expression and comfort. Your bedroom is the place where you can display little pieces of your life. These should include personal photos, antiques, and all of your favorite things. This helps to make your bedroom your own. It will become a peaceful sanctuary that you love.
Focus On Function
If your bedroom is well-lit and well arranged, the room undoubtedly will be more comfortable. The easier it is for you to find things and use the room the way it needs to be, the more comfortable you'll be. While your bedroom should look nice, it's yours to use. Your bedroom is the room of the house that should provide the most comfort for you.
Get Creative
When it comes to the way that you arrange your bedroom, you can get as creative as you want. If you're short on space, don't hesitate to push the bed against a window. If you're tired of the same old same in the bedroom, shuffle the furniture around. If you ensure that you have adequate lighting and seating in the room, you can do anything with it!
Don't Multipurpose The Room If You Don't Have To
Although it's nice to have access to everything in one room, bedrooms work best when they are singularly purposed. You'll sleep better and get more rest if you keep things like computers and televisions out of the bedroom. You can easily arrange a bedroom when you keep your own desires at the heart of the design.

A new app has been created just like Tinder however unlike Tinder not anyone can sign up, you first have to be highly successful and earn a lot of money.
The current users of 'Luxy' include the likes of CEOs, investors, millionaires, fitness models, professional athletes and even Hollywood celebrities.
Luxy works exactly the same way as Tinder does, and when signing up users are asked questions on their favourite brands (all luxury and designer of course) and what hobbies they like, however there is one exception. Users who are not deemed attractive enough or those that cannot compete with the average Luxy users salary of over $200,000 will be immediately removed from the app.
The only problem we see is that anybody can sign up to Luxy and lie about how much money they make a year and without verification it is unclear how Luxy will seek these people out and remove them.
If you want to meet self absorbed, incredibly materialistic people online then you can download the app here, just don't bet on everyone you meet to actually be banking that magical $200,000 + a year.

These symptoms can be the early tell-tale signs of the leading cause of serious vision loss and blindness in the United States – Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD). Particularly affecting the 65 and older age group, it is a disease that is progressing exponentially. Today, about 1.75 million Americans have been diagnosed with this disease and the numbers are expected to grow to about 3 million in 2020.
What is Age-Related Macular Degeneration?
Age-Related Macular Degeneration, or AMD, is a degenerative eye disease that robs a person of their central vision while typically leaving their peripheral vision unaffected. AMD breaks down the macula, the part of the retina responsible for the vision needed for daily tasks such as writing, reading and driving. This disease can affect either one or both eyes. There are two types of AMD:
- Dry AMD: When the light-sensitive cells in the macula start to break down, a person will begin to notice a blurred spot in the center of their vision. This is known as dry AMD.
- Wet AMD: In this late-stage type, abnormal blood vessels grow behind the retina. When fluid leaks from these fragile vessels, massive damage is inflicted upon the retina. A person with AMD would see straight lines as wavy. Wet AMD progresses more rapidly than dry AMD, and a person with dry AMD may later develop into wet AMD.
AMD is the leading cause for serious vision loss and blindness in America for people ages 65 years and older/2
How is AMD diagnosed?
AMD is painless and incurable, so early detection is key to catching the disease before extensive damage is done to a person's central vision. Since AMD targets the senior population, eye examinations are especially important to people over the age of 60 so that the disease can be diagnosed in its earliest stages.
During a comprehensive eye examination, eye drops would be administered to dilate the eye so that the doctor would be able to examine the retina and look for any signs of AMD such as drusen or leaking blood vessels.
How is AMD treated?
Once AMD has reached its most advanced stages, there is no treatment that will stem the loss of vision. However, early treatment can help and possibly even prevent AMD from progressing.
We hope this article has inspired you to visit your local optometrist. Your vision is priceless and a thirty minute appointment once a year is certainly something you should be able to commit too. Getting your eyes tested regularly will help you stay on top of your general health, eye diseases and even headaches!

The Chamber's Regional Board of Directors and Trustees meeting held on June 22 featured guest speaker Dwight Farmer, Executive Director for the Hampton Roads Transportation Planning Organization (HRTPO). Farmer presented the organization's 2034 Long-Range Transportation Plan, saying, "We need to get rid of congestion and increase the economy." Based on this plan, Farmer predicts congestion will be gone by 2030. The roads will still be full, but congestion will go away.
Farmer explained that the first step in creating the plan was to evaluate 155 transportation projects. These projects were chosen based off a scoring process that included three categories: utility, viability, and economic vitality. Each category had a possible score of 100. The project that scored the highest was the Downtown Tunnel/Midtown Tunnel/MLK Extension (Hampton Blvd. to I-264) with a score of 242 out of 300. Seventeen other projects were chosen to be funded, including Dominion Blvd. and Route 17.
The HRTPO held a public meeting in Chesapeake on June 23 to discuss the plan, and another meeting is scheduled for June 30 in Williamsburg. For more information about the HRTPO, visit www.hrtpo.org.

Balance your hormones, lose the weightGet Started
I want...
March 14, 2011 By Leanne Vogel July 21, 2015How is it that this weekend seemed to fly by even quicker than the last? I did get a bunch of stuff done yesterday, which is good, including a bit of our taxes. I'm still regretting leaving it until the very last minute + not keeping things as organized as I should have. Here's to a more efficient system of filing our endless receipts, invoices, bills, and whatever else we need to keep for 2011. I've promised myself this year will be different.
Nutrition educator + keto enthusiast. I want to live in a world where every woman loves her body, nourishing fats are enjoyed at every meal, and the word "restriction" isn't in the dictionary.

You can see how to go about making things like this in the tutorials on my Cartography Links page, accessible from the menu bar at the top of this page. (I watched them all and then took the bits I liked best.)
But today I thought it would be fun to gather them all up together here in one place. At the same time, I've put together another video tour showcasing all of these images.
|The Mighty Soltan
I had a lot of fun making this image. I actually created a full equirectangular projection map of Soltan's "surface". I'm not sure it will ever be needed aside from in making this image, but you never know with fantasy settings.
Soltan is utterly vast: 110 times the size of its largest orbiting planet, Calidar. It's really very similar to our sun in most respects.
