This was well worth it. The trip was awesome and we lived like a king for a week!
We stayed for our honeymoon (2010) and a separate trip with friends (2011). Fantastic time. Good food, not too crowded, nice amenities and staff. The crashing waves on the beach made for a great nights sleep at night and fun in the sun during the day. We would definitely recommend.
Had an amazing time at Los Cabos. There is nothing the staff won't do to make you comfortable and happy! Food was great! Beautiful setting! Only one suggestion would be to add another jacuzzi - Adults Only over at the tranquility pool. Would return here in a heartbeat!!
"Beautiful resort, wonderful staff... PERFECT wedding!!!"
We had our wedding at Los Casa Dorada Cabo Real and I just wanted to say THANK YOU so much to every single member of your staff who made our special day absolutely and unforgettably PERFECT!!! A very special THANKS to Yesica Garcia, our wedding planner/coordinator, Elizabeth de la Pena of Adventure Photos, Gonzalo Verdeja of Art' n Colors Photography & Video, and Reverendo Marco Arechiga, all of whom contributed in their own special way with their talent, work and dedication... They were all wonderful to work with, and their finished products, whether in the shape of the wedding itself, the photos, or the video are things that we will treasure for the rest of our lives. I can't even begin to express how thankful we are for every little detail of that wonderful day!!! All of our guests also loved the resort and were very impressed with how all of the details of the wedding came together thanks to Yesica and the rest of the staff. I have and will continue recommending all of you to anyone headed that way. And we hope to come back soon!
The people working at this resort are simply awesome! The hotel is gorgeous. It's about 20 minutes from the airport. Now, the food I'd say it's good. There is room to grow in this aspect. But, when you look at the whole picture, it was a great vacation! Will definitely go back!
I stayed here with my boyfriend about 1.5 years ago (kinda late with my review, I know.) We decided on this hotel because most of the trip advisor reviews had good ones. This place was true to the reviews. It is a very nice hotel for the price. When we went there were many other couples and some families. It was a large hotel with lots of people, not a boutique. This hotel i know has a bunch of other chains in different areas of mexico.. cancun area too! The hotel offered many restaurant options- of which you need to make reservations ahead of time ( so be sure to do this when you arrive, because they did book up very fast) The restaurants had great service and were very welcoming. Food.. was what you would expect from a hotel in mexico.. ( ex. you are not going to have the best italian in mexico), but it was decent and the ambiance was great. The pool was lovely - nice infinity pool that does get crowded in the day time. The best part was taking advantage of the beach table service. Waiters will bring out drinks to your daybed and serve you - which was AMAZING, way better than hanging out near a crowded pool. There were many areas to lounge around so you could try a different place each day. Over all the room was nice , tidy had a rustic feel to it. And I have recommended this hotel to my friends because I know there was nothing to be worried about.
What a fantastic place to get married! I have stayed here twice before and I can say that Los Cabos is amazing everytime I have been in the last 5 years. The staff are so welcoming and friendly. Yesica, our wedding coordinator was faultless and made sure everything was perfect. Danielle, wedding photographer captured incredible shots and made getting our photos taken effortless. Rev. Gorge was just perfect. Beautiful place, delicious food. Couldn't have asked for a better ceremony.
There were 3 of us ladies travelling - we had one large suite with a connecting smaller suite, nice living area in between, 3 balconies, each room had a king bed. We were on the 4th floor, overlooking the adult pool - great view and location. Amazing amount of closet space, and 3 refrigerators stocked with water, soda and beer. So we loved the room. Went down to the Rendezvous Bar for a drink, then decided to get dinner and ended up at the Sea Side Grill. We ordered almost every appetizer on the menu plus entrees (had not been fed all day) and enjoyed everything we were served. We had amazing service from everyone at the resort. Maribel at El Patio for breakfast, Miguel at the adult pool for drinks, Israel at Oceana for lunch (the fish tacos are a MUST) were our favorites! Our main purpose for the trip was relaxation, and this goal was met! All in all a very enjoyable week was had by all!
I would return to this resort as the design is great for either families or those wanting quiet. The food was great, I would have preferred a few other options for restaurants but the overall food was great.
Recently married at the resort in November. Can't say enough good things about the staff, resort, ambiance and service. Yesica Garcia (wedding coordinator) was amazing! Housekeeping, turn down service was a 6 star job. Will definitely come back soon! thanks for making our week the best one of our lives!
My wife and I stayed here for our honeymoon and had a blast! The resort offers a great variety of places to eat and were extremely helpful to assist in doing excursions away from the hotel. Our room had a wonderful view and was larger than we even needed. We liked that there were two pools on location. We enjoyed spa treatments onsite and the swim up pool bars were very convenient! We would absolutely stay here again!!
We stayed at Los Cabos in August 2013 and it was a terrific vacation! We were told by the staff that we there doing low season, which was perfect for us. Particularly enjoyed the Tranquil pool and AWESOME service by Miguel (we really missed him on our last day there, since this was his day off). Not all of the food is great, but there were a lot of different options and we seemed to find our favorites and order them multiple times. The times we ordered room service it was very quick. We travel quite a bit and are picky travelers, but have nothing bad to say about this resort and would definitely return.
My girl friend and I spent seven days at Los Cabos and cant wait to book our next trip back there! Our room was fantastic, great Ocean and main pool view. The staff were always eager to help with any of our needs and wants. The food and service was very good and we enjoyed all the restaurants that we eat at. I have to say it was the most relaxing vacation I have ever had.
Wonderful stay at this beach side resort. The service is OUTSTANDING. The staff recognized me at every turn and addressed me by name with such hospitality. I truly feel the staff wanted my stay to be the best and it was! I would stay here again!
We've returned recently for some R & R and came home very relaxed. The service all around is very friendly and helpful. The grilled fish tacos at Oceana are a must and the sushi chef made us a special treat one evening. The beds are very comfy. We love the tranquil adult only pool. I tipped in the morning and never had to leave my lounger once to get a drink. Just a side note, this is our 3rd time to Los Cabo and November is a perfect time to go. We found Jan/Feb trips on the cooler side.
"Had the time of our lives"
We visited Los Cabos for a wedding. The wedding was gorgeous and the food was excellent. The resort staff was so friendly and made us feel very comfortable. We went on a Photo Shoot on the beach and around the resort, and we had so much fun! They really took some great pictures of my husband & I. I would love to return again in the near future.
My wife and I had a great time at Los Cabos. Our accomodations were the prefered level on the sixth floor room 612. the prefered lounge was nice as it always had some good food and drinks with a great view. The room was high enough that the noise from the main pool area did not bother us, we left the sliding glass doors open at night to listen to the constant pounding surf. Housekeeping always did a excellant job cleaning the room...turndown was great as well, by 7 pm the room would be a disaster again and would be like new when getting in from dinner. We ate at all the resturants. Portofino was our fav, El patio least, but we're not huge fans of Mexican food anyways. The drinks were good, but sometimes should ask for a double. Antonio at the main pool bar was the best. Always in a good mood and he has your drink in hand before you can ask for it. Attention managment, give that man a raise! My wife and I also did the shuttle to downtown Cabo which was $12 pp round trip. Overall this resort is nicely maintained with good food and drinks, all of the staff was very welcoming and made us feel at home. We'll be coming back next year for sure!
Well this is our 6th time at this resort, Oct 26th thru Nov. 2nd and we love it more everytime we go there. The resort is amazing, the staff goes out of their way to be accommodating, especially Adriana in VIP, Johnny from Recreation and Alan & Miguel at the seaside restaurant. We just had an amazing time. We met nice people from Arizona there and will remain friends with them for life I hope!! I feel the food was very good and we had no complaints. The waiter at Portofino's made us Mexican coffee with a whole fire show that was outrageous!! I could go on and on, but I think you get the idea.........WE LOVE IT THERE!!!!!
Casa Dorado Cabo Real is amazing!! I had my wedding there and they did a phenomenal job! Absolutely amazing wedding and Yessica the wedding coordinator is the best! I recommend this place to all!!!!
I just spent a week at dreams and it was great. My husband and I have traveled together for 32 years and for a beach vacation this was one of the best. The food was very good drinks abundant and the area has lots to offer. We swam with dolphins, sailed snorkeled and I got my bucket list ride on the beach, something that can't be done on US beaches. There are 2 beautiful pools with swim up bars instead. Great for children too and weddings. To get married here is beautiful and very economical too I have heard. A big thumbs up for Casa Dorada Cabo Real.
I stayed at this resort for a long weekend with a group of girlfriends celebrating a bachelorette party. There were 14 of us in the party and the resort was very accommodating to our needs. The rooms were well appointed and clean. The bed was heavenly - not too soft not too firm. There are 2 pools. The "quiet pool" was nice but the infinity pool was simply stunning. Amazing view. Great music. Swim up bar. Just perfect. The food was good. Not gourmet but completely satisfactory for an all inclusive. I did not use the spa services but some members in our group did and they were pleased with the massages they got. Downtown Cabo is about a 30 min right from the hotel but there is a shuttle that will take you there if you want to shop or eat off the resort. The beach was really nice too. The sound of the waves crashing onto shore from under the palapa was soothing and the breeze heavenly. I hope to be back soon.

Lumpini Park in located deep in the center of Metropolitan Bangkok, between Silom and Sathorn Roads and off of Rama IV Road. The park has several large lakes which cool the hot city air and provide a nice living area for many interesting creatures. There are also many beautiful well maintained garden areas, full of tropical plants and flowers. The lakes and the gardens provide the perfect foregrounds for the city skyline surrounding the park.
Living so close to one of Bangkok's nicest inner city parks, I frequent the park and often have my camera. I would like to share with you photos of some of the wildlife found in the park. Many very large monitor lizards can be seen in the many lakes found in the parks. They are often seen swimming in the lakes but also look up! They can be also seen in the trees surrounding the lakes. Not to worry though they do not bother with people visiting the park and are quite shy if approached.
Many other water animals including water fowl and turtles of various sizes and shapes inhabit the lakes and Thai people can be seen feeding the fish in the lakes, which are teaming with large catfish.
Samut Prakan Crocodile Farm and Zoo was built in 1950, at a time when the area of Samut Prakan Province was undeveloped land on the Chao Praya River Delta. The area is quite well developed now and the Crocodile Farm and Zoo still is a thriving tourist destination who want to see the world largest crocodile farm in the world. The farm and zoo does have activities for all ages including a crocodile show that has crocodile handlers placing themselves in what appears to be harm’s way by placing their appendages into the gaping mouths of some very large crocodiles. There is also some very entertaining elephants that put on a very interesting show. The crocodile farm is interesting enough, with crocodiles of all sizes and shapes and areas that you can actually feed them. The zoo portion of the facility has many different animals from across the globe. Some of these animals you can feed and interact with quite closely as well. The photos and videos below are to give you just a taste of what the crocodile farm and zoo has to offer to help you decide on the visit.
All cities in Thailand have their own city pillar shrine. The tradition of the city shrines is based on the Thais Hindu roots and most Thais visit the shrine when visiting other cities to ask for good luck in love and life.Bangkok's City Pillar is located across the street from the Grand Palace Complex making it convenient for everyone visiting Bangkok to visit the shrine. The shrine offers a traditional dancing show to tell the story of the great city accompanied by traditional music.
Wat Suthat (Wat Suthat Thep Wararam) is located adjacent to the "Giant Swing" and the swing is considered part of the Temple complex. The temple is also one of the official "Royal" Temples as well as a royal temple of the first grade, one of ten such temples in Bangkok. The temple grounds are beautifully maintained and on my visit one of the two Temples were under renovation. I suggest a tour of the temple for anyone interested in Thai Culture.
Bangkok's Giant Swing is another of Bangkok's famous City icons. The swing has a long history in Bangkok, being constructed in the late seventeen hundreds by King Rama I. The swing ceremonies have their roots in Hindu traditions. The swing has been replaced several times in the past with the most recent in 2007 when huge teak trees were specially grown and selected for the straightness of the trunks and free of knots. I was lucky enough to be in Bangkok for the dedication of the new swing and I remember it was quite a big ceremony.
Wat Pho is an amazing piece of historical real estate, one that you shouldn’t miss on your trip to Bangkok. As indicated in this Blog’s name, Wat Pho is the birthplace of Thai Massage. What this means is the area of the Temple was used to develop healthful massage techniques, kind of like a medical school of long ago. To continue this tradition, the temple maintains a massage school near the temple, teaching the local Thais to properly give “Thai Massage”.
Wat Pho has many names, the official name is “Wat Phra Chetuphon Vimolmangklararm Rajwaramahaviharn. The Temples original name was Wat Pho Tharam. “Wat Pho” is the common name and means “Temple of the Bodi Tree”. The temple is also one the nine Royal Temples of the Chakri Dynasty, being built during the reign of King Rama I of that Dynasty.
A new mall has opened in Bangkok – The EmQuartier. This mall sports a unique garden area on the 6the and 7 th floors which offers amazing views of the Bangkok skyline. Above the garden area is “the Helix” which is a spiral atrium area full of many fine restaurants. The EmQuartier is part of The Mall Group’s ‘EM District’ project to transform the Phrom Phong area into one of the biggest retail mall areas of the city. There are even rumors that the Phrom Phong BTS Station will be renamed to “EM District”.

(CNN) Logic suggests that the White House, under crushing political pressure, would be forced to back down on its hardline immigration policy amid outrage over searing depictions of kids separated from their parents at the southern border.
But while the swirling political crisis over the "zero tolerance" approach to undocumented migrants might convince a conventional White House to seek a way out, this administration is so far digging in. It is sticking to a strategy of falsely blaming Democrats and past administrations for a practice that it decided to adopt and could change anytime it wanted to.
"The United States will not be a migrant camp and it will not be a refugee holding facility," President Donald Trump declared on Monday.
A climbdown on this issue would represent more than a huge embarrassment for the President. It would undermine his political image and philosophy and require him to admit he's wrong and to temper instincts that force him to counterattack.
He would risk alienating base voters who prize his strongman image on one issue above all -- immigration -- and are more inclined to believe that people who cross the border illegally get what they deserve than to react with compassion to reports by media outlets they disdain.
Among those reports Monday came one of the most haunting moments to come thus far in the immigration debate with the release of ProPublica audio recorded last week inside a US Customs and Border Protection detention facility, where children separated from their parents can be heard sobbing. At one point, a traumatized child can be heard calling for "Daddy."
Whether that could sway the President must be weighed against the certainty that a reversal would dilute the Trump mythology that underwrote his rise as a political figure. Giving in to criticism from all the living first ladies, or the United Nations, or Washington Republicans like Arizona's Sen. John McCain, would mean bending to the kind of internationalist, traditional establishment forces his entire political project was built to destroy.
Trump goes to Capitol Hill on Tuesday, where his congressional allies spent Monday trying to find some kind of legislative solution to the border crisis, though many Republicans -- even those who've supported the President in the past -- say Trump can end the family separation issue with a simple phone call.
Mercedes Schlapp, the White House director of strategic communications, offered potential White House flexibility Tuesday when she said that Trump was ready to discuss a standalone bill on ending the separations being authored by Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz.
"We are looking into the legislative text on the Cruz bill," she told reporters.
Life had been tough for administration officials forced, unlike Trump, to undergo questioning Monday and make policy arguments that could not match the emotional storm stirred by the separations.
"Separating parents from children is not a policy that we want to pursue. At the same time, letting children and parents come across the border ... illegally, is not a policy either," Marc Short, Trump's White House director of legislative affairs, said on CNN's "The Situation Room."
White House press secretary Sarah Sanders did nothing to dispel the notion that Trump is using the separations as leverage to force Democrats into caving on his plans to reshape the immigration system when she rejected the idea of standalone legislation on separations.
Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen tried and failed to quell the public relations disaster by flying back from New Orleans for the White House press briefing.
Nielsen blamed "loopholes" left open by Congress and previous administrations and doubled down on the administration's false contention that it has no option under the law but to funnel people who come across the border illegally into the criminal justice system -- a designation that forces authorities to separate children from their parents while they are in custody.
Nielsen's briefing was more tempered than previous administration efforts to explain the situation, but the fact that she, and the President, are trying to blame it on Democrats showed that even they don't want to own the consequences.
And at times, Nielsen seemed to lack sensitivity to the anger and empathy that have been triggered over a weekend of heart-rending news coverage and that prompted Colleen Kraft, president of the American Academy of Pediatrics, to describe the separations on CNN as "government-sanctioned child abuse."
Nielsen said conditions in facilities where separated children are kept are good, though she ignored the emotional and humanitarian needs of kids cut off from their parents.
"We give them meals and we give them education and we give them medical care. There are videos. There are TVs," Nielsen said.
The administration's defense on Monday failed to keep pace with the accelerating politics of the issue, as even some of its allies eyed a grim midterm election environment or made their own moral calls on the practice of separation.
"This has to stop," said Cruz, who is up for re-election in November.
"We should keep children with their parents. Kids need their moms. They need their dads," said Cruz, who is introducing a bill that will mandate that families are not separated.
Another Republican who often sides with Trump, South Carolina's Sen. Lindsey Graham, said, "Americans are pretty decent folks. They don't like illegal immigration, they want to do it right. But they're moved by the fact that families are being separated and we've got to find a better way."
In another sign of the subtle politics of the issue, Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin, who is on a tightrope in a re-election race in West Virginia, where Trump won overwhelmingly in 2016, criticized the President.
"That's the most inhumane enforcement I've ever seen in my life," said Manchin. "The American dream and hope of the world, where'd all that go?"
Still, Trump may believe he has political grounds to stick to his guns.
A new CNN poll Monday showed that while the President had a 59% disapproval rating on immigration, 58% of Republicans favored the new policy toward undocumented immigrant families on the southern border. And 81% of respondents who approve of Trump also give his immigration policy high marks.
Given that this is a presidency almost exclusively rooted in efforts to secure Trump's base, it might not be surprising if the President looks at such numbers and decides his own political interests -- as distinct from the wider Republican Party's -- augur no course correction.
Over dizzying months of busted conventions, political outrages and assaults on the normal protocol of the presidency, Trump has often confounded predictions that finally he would be forced to mitigate his approach inside America and toward the rest of the world.
It would be ironic if immigration, the issue that powered his rise to the White House, were also the one that forced him finally to moderate his political character. But no one should hold their breath.

Linear Arc Seam Welders | MITUSA, Inc.
The ERGO longitudinal seam welders are designed to deliver high levels of accuracy using linear rails. Whereas traditional seam welders use less precise rack and pinion track setups that use cam followers. The ERGO automatic seam welders use precision linear rails that are used to move the travel carriage smoothly over the clamped seam weld joint. Linear rail technology provides a quality affordable automatic seam welder system.
Linear track provides a much stronger hold and gives you the free travel with a Ergo TC-3 travel carriage. The track is machined to a 0.005-inch straightness tolerance, so that the seam will be as close to straight as possible.
Convenient, easy to read air module controls on front with operator buttons and lights.
Low voltage motors for safety.
Water cooled mandrel back up bar.
Copper clamping fingers and back up bar.
MAGA-1 Single box electric control of process operator does not need to search which box and button to push or turn.
Foot switch activation of clamping fingers.
Programmable home position, travel, and weld length.
Low profile, easy to move unit as weld cell changes.
Easy move tow motor portable design seam welding system.
Our Ergonomic design principles makes the operator's job easy with this compact longitudinal seam welder. The ERGO automatic linear seam welding machines have a unique design containing a clamping finger mechanism. This provides uniform and consistent clamping hold down alignment. The water cooled mandrel feature keeps the back up bar and parts at the optimal temperature cooling the welded joint area eliminating weldment heat deformation.
The seam weld bed retractable edge alignment devices assist the operator in aligning the part over the centerline of the backup bar groove. Linear rails are mounted to the top and bottom of the fabricated track, allowing the side beam carriage to travel smoothly via four bearing blocks. The carriage travel car has a series of 3/8 inch - 6 x 2 1/2 predrilled holes, tapped to make mounting alignment tool easy.
ERGO simple air bag replacement design takes minutes. During MIG (GMAW) welding process some weld splatter in the seamer bed area will find openings over time. UV light and weld spatter from the arc welding process eventually requires the air bags replacement. The airbags can take hours to replace on other brands. The ERGO seamer's bladder takes minutes to replace damaged air bags and start seam welding production again.
ERGO seam welders are complete seam welding systems with all required equipment intergraded for easy seam welding fabrication. ERGO TIG / MIG seam welders with integrated welding systems pre-installed.
ERGO seam welders are built in our facility in Huntington Park California. We engineer and manufacture Ergo seam welders complete with integrated arc welding equipment. Special riser heights is an option. Typical lead time of 2-8 weeks delivery based on model.
Call 323.312.2002 or email us for pricing, delivery details and any technical information you may need.
ERGO seam welders are designed for easy installation via fork lift base. From delivery truck to a working welding station system in just hours, not days.
The ERGO LSW Model seam welding machines come in sizes from 1 foot to 4 feet. We have some seam welders for sale in stock lead time 1-8 weeks.

Customizable systems à la Inglot, MAC, Make Up For Ever, Yaby and Mary Kay -- even Artdeco and Revlon's Shadowlinks -- are an opportunity to design your ultimate makeup palette. But when you're faced with a colour-happy array of shades and endless combinations, how do you choose your best options without losing your mind? Consult a professional, of course, one who knows colour and who knows how to combine them to build a custom makeup palette you'll use.
Selecting eye shadow is a challenge for most women -- we all want to know what colour best brings out our eyes. "Blue eyes will pop in copper, taupe, slate coloured grays and warm browns with a slight orange base," says Carreiro. "Lavender is also a pretty option for the summer. Green eyes look best in red browns, plums, purples and golden metallics, and brown eyes are lucky because they can get away with almost any colour. That said, experimenting is the best way to find the colours you love."
2) Create a core of neutrals then add colour.
When faced with a buffet of pretty eye shadows, the temptation is to geek out over your faves. But to make them work, you need tone variations so you can create shadows and highlights to emphasize eye shape as well as colour. If you can, take your cue from a standard light/medium/dark palette you already own and love, and create a core of neutrals upon which you can build. Start by choosing a good basic duo, "a neutral all-over colour and a darker shadow for liner," suggests Carreiro. Build up to an effective trio by augmenting the light/dark duo with a medium tone in the same colour family. Then add as many shades of eye-popping colour as you like -- they'll all work with your neutrals.
If you want an evening-specific custom makeup palette, Carreiro suggests throwing a metallic neutral into a mix of darks. "Silver with black and grey will help create a smokey eye," she says. If you're all about bold colour, "contrasting metallic and shimmer shadows are great options. Try copper with aqua blue, or gold and violet."
3) You need options for cheeks, too.
"A good all-around palette should have more than one blush," says Carreiro. "If you're running errands, a pretty pink on the apples of the cheeks looks healthy and fresh. If you're going to the office, a more 'serious' shade of dusty rose might be appropriate." Carreiro likes a combination of blush, bronzer and highlighter. For pale women wary of bronzer, however, she suggests a "spice" shade of blush. For women with darker skin, "deep plum would be good for contour and depth." For women with round cheeks, "highlighter can make cheekbones stand out a bit more," says Carreiro. And one more blush tip: choose cool or warm shades of blush to match the cool or warm tones of your eye shadows.
4) Punctuate with lip colour.
You need one neutral colour and one bold shade. "In general, if you're wearing neutral eye makeup, choose a brighter or bolder colour for your lips; if you're wearing smokey or vibrant eye makeup, balance with a neutral lip," says Carreiro. "Those are only guidelines, however. Black-and-silver eye makeup can look great with vermilion lips, and a neutral mouth with neutral eye makeup can be ethereal." And of course be sure to choose cool or warm lip colours to match the cool or warm tone of the rest of your palette.
If you had to build a custom makeup palette, would you find the choices dizzying? Do any of Diana's tips resonate with you?

Hello I'm having issues launching an HTML5 build on Firefox. This level used to run just fine. I have made quite a bit of changes to it, which are mostly aesthetic in nature. The blueprints and menu widgets are mostly the same. Attatched is the full error report from UE4s browser debug window. Also the java errors reported by Firefox.
I've attempted to delete the cooked data from my project folder and re-cook, close, and re-launch the editor, then launch on HTML5 with no luck. I've re-compiled all blueprints in the level and repeated above steps. The last error messsage concerns me, is my level just too big? It's an interior archviz scene with moderate interactivity, fully static lighting with uncompressed lightmaps and sits at an HTML5 build size of 265mb including all engine files. Which ran smoothly before. Will migrate this project to 4.9 after posting this and see if that will help any of these issues.
Update, sort of solved. I forced no precomputed lighting and it runs in Firefox now. However I'd like to maintain that level of lighting, any way of editing the HTML5 build to support those big beautiful lightmaps?
I have requested additional information be provided about the most recent changes with lightmaps within HTML5 from 4.8 to 4.9. Please update us on any additional information you've learned if necessary for this issue.

Go to the religion section in any bookstore and you will find writings on the “historical Jesus.” These books attempt to bring Jesus down to earth by describing His humanity—usually in gnostic or at worst, fabricated terms. However, in this new book by Orthodox Priest Pat Reardon, we have at last a volume that looks at Jesus’ human life with a view to Scripture and the history of the time as has been handed down to us from old.
Father Pat takes us through Jesus’ human life and carefully examines what it meant for Our Lord to lead a life on earth. Scripture teaches us that Jesus was one of us—but without sin--and this theme is explored through a look at Jesus’ growing up; baptism; learning a trade (carpentry); relationships with the public, family and friends; His temptation; His ministry; and His Death and Resurrection. Father Pat posits that Jesus’ self-awareness and knowledge of His mission grew with Him as He grew, just as we become more of “ourselves” as our lives progress.
Answered are questions such as: What did Jesus do as a youth? When did Jesus know He was God? Did Jesus disobey His parents? Father Pat also explains difficult passages of Scripture where Jesus appears cynical or disrespectful! He anticipates many of the questions we often ask silently but are afraid to voice.
I was fascinated and blessed by this book, and I recommend it to you. Father Pat’s wonderful, clear writing make our Lord pop off the page and many times I found myself saying, Jesus is wonderful! and praising God for the clarity in which I saw Christ. There is nothing in this book to offend and confound—the picture of Jesus here is completely scriptural but so real that we can imagine ourselves meeting Him in the street.
One of my favorite chapters was the one titled, “Jesus and the Women.” These women were ones who followed Him on His ministry travels, women He healed and women in His family. Father Pat draws out clearly how Jesus related to these women—called them by name—and loved them, setting an example for how women should be treated. This was revolutionary, for at that time women were less than second-class citizens in many cultures. Yet by dealing with them, Jesus elevates them; by loving them, He blesses them. His compassion for both genders is remarkable.
Check out this book. You won’t be sorry.

In Honduras only 15% of the children actually enter the seventh grade. There are two primary reasons. The parents do not understand or stress to their children a need for education and the educational system is marginal.
Promise Home is located in the small village of El Portillo where over 25% of the adults are unemployed and most are uneducated. There is a small school located in our village that has about fifty children in the K-6th grade.
In June of 2016, we started an after school program that encourages the children to stay in school, tutor the children and exposes the children and their parents to Christ. The students use the Compassion International educational materials and program.
So, on Thursday and Fridays about 60 children walk to Promise Home where we provide a lunch and a two and a half hour tutoring program.
Before we started the first day of class, we visited each parent in their home explaining our program, our passion for keeping their child in school and our love for Christ.
It is a great program that we hope will help us transform our community. Will you help us help these children?
You can help with your prayers, bring a team to minister to the children or donate.
It cost about $37 a month per child to provide food, education and school clothing. 100% of what you give will go to this program for meals, education and school clothing for the children.
If you would like to help, please scroll down to the gift options below.
Our After School program is thriving and having a lasting impact on the lives of about 100 children and their families in the El Portillo Honduras area. In addition to mentoring & tutoring we are privileged to minister to these children in significant ways.
We are on schedule to start our Preschool Program as soon as funding is available. Our Preschool building is ready and waiting to minister to these precious children! We anticipate 30 or more children, age 5 and younger, to be ministered to in this program.
It costs about $37 per month – $450 per year – for each child in our After School Program & each child we expect to have in our Preschool Program. Will you help share the love of Jesus to these children and their families? If God burdens your heart to do so … you can have direct lasting impact on these young lives.
Please pray about what God would have you do and respond accordingly. The leadership team of Promise Home thanks you sincerely for caring for the children God has brought to us!

Rick Cleveland pays tribute to Southern Miss football great Nick Kolinsky, who died on July 5.
When he got to Hattiesburg, he walked, unannounced into Hall of Fame football coach Pie Vann's office. “My name is Nick Kolinsky, and I want to play football for you,” he told Vann.
Vann gave him a tryout and then quickly a scholarship. Nick flourished at USM. And he never left Hattiesburg. He was an entrepreneur, a tavern owner who also ran a moving business. He was a devout Catholic, a family man, a husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather. He was a Hattiesburg icon, possessing remarkable spirit, energy and work ethic. He was an emotional guy, who laughed and cried often, with no apologies for the latter. He was a doer.
If you were Nick's friend, he would do anything for you. If you were a stranger, he would do anything for you anyway, which brings us to today's story.
In 1981, Jack Lucas was a stranger. One day after work, Nick was watching TV, flipping channels, until he saw a CBS news program with images of the Battle of Iwo Jima in World War II. He was hooked.
The program told the Jack Lucas story. How Lucas, from North Carolina, had lied about his age at 14 to join the U.S. Marines. How, on Feb. 20, 1945, six days after his 17th birthday, Lucas hurled his body onto two enemy grenades, saving the lives of three fellow marines. How Lucas somehow survived the grenades with shrapnel throughout his body. How Lucas became the youngest ever to win the Congressional Medal of Honor, pinned on him by President Harry S. Truman.
But the program also told how Lucas had fallen on hard times, was living in a meat locker in Maryland on a $200 a month stipend from the government. Because of IRS problems, all other government benefits were garnished.
Nick called the CBS affiliate in Mobile and was told he should call the national network. He did so and was so insistent he was finally given the phone number of the program's producer. Nick convinced the producer that all he wanted to do was help Lucas, and the producer gave Nick a phone number.
It took several tries, but Nick finally got Lucas on the phone. They talked and hit it off. Several more phone calls ensued. Nick also made another call to the late U.S. Rep. Sonny Montgomery, a champion of military veterans. Within weeks, Lucas was restored to full benefits.
That wasn't enough for Nick, who knew Lucas was lonely. So he invited Lucas for a visit and then he offered him a place to live – and a family, his family. Nick and Carol and their four children. Nick and Carol Kolinsky's daughter, Kim Kolinsky, became particularly close to Jack Lucas, like the daughter he had never had.
“I don't have much to offer you, but I can offer you a family,” Nick told Lucas. And that's the way it went down.
Eventually, Lucas bought his own home in Hattiesburg, and just as Nick Kolinsky, he never left. In the Hub City, Lucas met and married his wife, Ruby. His final years were happy ones. More than 63 years after his act of heroism, Jack Lucas died on June 15, 2008. The section of U.S. 49 between Wiggins and Hattiesburg is known as the Jack Lucas Medal of Honor Memorial Highway.
Eight years and a few days later after Jack Lucas' death, Nick Kolinsky passed away, leaving behind untold numbers of friends and admirers – and also leaving his adopted home, Hattiesburg, a far better place.
Legions of friends attended Nick's funeral last week. Appropriately, there was at least one stranger.

As our community grows and more families move into local neighborhoods it becomes necessary to expand human developments further and further outwards. These expansions include new neighborhoods and new commerce centers. I have lived in a hub of commerce near the Pantops shopping center for fifteen years, and I have seen the suburbs grow before my very eyes. Since I have resided in Albemarle County, four new neighborhoods have been built within a half-mile of my house. While I love getting new neighbors, expansion does not come without consequence.
There are a few immediate drawbacks of constant expansion which have become a daily nuisance. First and foremost, the area surrounding my neighborhood has seemingly been under non-stop construction since my family moved here. This construction affects daily commuters by closing roads and slowing traffic to a halt in certain circumstances. The increasing residential framework on the East side of the Rivanna River highlights a poor piece of urban planning. For all those who work in downtown Charlottesville there is only one bridge that crosses the river funneling all the traffic onto one road. There are also no pedestrian crossing routes discouraging people from biking to work or walking into town and reinforcing the dependence on cars to get anywhere in the city. Discouraging alternative transportation practices is a dangerous pattern to get into because it leads to an unhealthy community reliant upon technologies harmful to the environment. Unfortunately this is a pattern that has already set in world-wide, and actions need to be taken to reverse it.
Past the immediate consequences of expansion there are several underlying chain reactions that lead to unintended issues that will negatively impact the quality of life here in Albemarle County. As urban development increases, construction will interfere with more and more natural ecosystems. Under these circumstances the concept of One Health comes to mind. The Center for Disease Control defines One Health as the concept that the health of humans, animals, and the surrounding environment are all linked, and that the failure of the health of one group in the triad will negatively affect the health and well-being of the other two groups. As construction cuts down the surrounding ecosystems, the services provided by those ecosystems are lost. The loss of these services is a scary proposition because it is not easy to tell how reliant or how important the services provided by the ecosystem are until they are gone. Ecosystem services such as erosion protection and water filtration are very expensive to replace and the man-made versions of services are not as effective as the natural remedies.
Another long term consequence of expansion is the increased contact between humans and wildlife. As more undeveloped plots of land are converted into homes and neighborhoods, the community pushes further into the habitats of local animals. Over the summer I will be working at Rockfish Wildlife Sanctuary in Nelson County. One of my daily duties will be to drive around Albemarle County and surrounding counties to pick up wildlife that has come in contact with people. My other duties will include rehabilitation, feeding, and cleaning of all the rescued animals. Many of these animals are injured or orphaned by increasing human development, and it is important to rehabilitate and release these animals to maintain biodiversity within their ecosystems. It is also important to try and avoid human influence on the maturation process of these animals leading to their domestication. The increased exposure with wild animals is a dangerous situation for both humans and wildlife. Any time an animal is put in an uncomfortable situation it becomes a danger to humans and itself. In my own neighborhood I have seen deer, foxes, and even bears dangerously close to houses. However, the animals do not have to attack to be dangerous to the health of people. Increased contact between animals and people also will lead to increased transfer of diseases. Zoonotic diseases, or diseases transferred between animals and humans, range from lyme disease to rabies, and none of them contribute to a higher quality of life.
The spread of human development is expanding at an alarming rate and causing a plethora of issues. There are several immediate issues concerning construction and urban planning, but there are also several issues that are not as immediately apparent. The loss of ecosystem services and increased contact between humans and wild animals have the potential to be a lot more dangerous to humans and a lot harder to fix than some of the immediate issues. It is for these reasons that rapid expansion in Albemarle county concerns me. We need to set aside some green spaces both in and around the urban core of Charlottesville and Albemarle. If we don't, it's not just the wildlife that will suffer.

One of the benefits of treatment at Bozzo Chiropractic Office is that we offer a choice of chiropractic techniques.
The Diversified technique is the most widely used of all chiropractic techniques. Developed by D.D. Palmer, it serves as the cornerstone of the manipulation/adjustment procedures taught in chiropractic colleges. Diversified is traditional chiropractic, which employs a manual adjustment to treat subluxations or misalignments of the spine.
In addition to traditional chiropractic treatment, we offer a state-of- the-art computerized chiropractic treatment called The Sigma Instrument® . The Sigma Instrument® is the most advanced chiropractic analysis and treatment instrument in existence today. With it, you will receive a pain-free chiropractic adjustment. It uses technology to gently vibrate the spinal joint back into normal motion, so there is no twisting, turning or sudden movement. The Sigma Instrument® allows us to safely and gently treat patients of all ages. Dr. Vince and Dr. Kathy Bozzo are the only chiropractors in the Salinas area that are certified to use this technique.

The kitchen is the ultimate hotspot of the home – a place for cooking, enjoying family meals and entertaining guests on the weekend. In being the most used space of the house, the kitchen also demands some pretty tiresome cleaning rituals, from the nightly dish wash to the fortnightly fridge clean out.
Despite being the most regularly maintained zone of the house, the kitchen actually has more nasty germs lurking around than the average bathroom, ew! It's a pretty shocking revelation, but there's no need to panic. We have hunted down the most gruesome truths about kitchen germs and an array of solutions to match, to help you beat the bacteria crawling in your cooking zone.
Damp sponges prove to be the number one kitchen culprit for harbouring some serious illness-causing, nasty bacteria. Milk, eggs, fruit and vegetables can present bacteria in the kitchen, but meat is the common cause of those lingering germs living in your sponge. Avoid spreading nasty germs from dish to dish and give your sponge the deep clean it deserves. Try zapping in the microwave for 30 seconds or soaking in bleach to rid of those pesky germs.
Fighting tough stairs on pots and pans can prove a difficult task. It's easy to think that soaking your lasagne dish is the best way to eliminating that grime, but the soaking water can actually create an environment for germs to spread. Instead, scrape dishes and pop into a dishwasher with Fairy Platinum All In One Dishwasher Tablets. The high temperatures of the dishwasher will remove unwanted germs whilst the cleaning agents of the Fairy Tablet will cut through grime and oil. Bonus: the tablets even help to clean your dishwasher filter of limescale.
You would think that the cleaning hotspot of the kitchen would actually be the least germ infested zone, right? Wrong! That raw meat juice that you wash off your chopping board and knife is one of the main causes of the build-up of bacteria in the sink drain and disposal. A great way to sanitise is to wash a diluted bleach solution down the drain with hot water.
Almost every household is home to a knife block – they're convenient, practical and a safe place to store the sharpest objects in the kitchen. The loved storage solution is just as loved by bacteria, with the pockets an all-too-easy zone for mould and yeast to hide. If you're looking to invest in a knife block, find one that is dishwasher safe and easy to sanitise. If you already own one, start scrubbing!
They're the handy zones of the fridge where you store your fruit and vegetables, but there is a good chance you broccoli is partying alongside some seriously nasty germs. Salmonella, yeast and mould could potentially be contaminating your fresh produce, so getting on top of lingering bacteria in vital. Once a month, remove your draws and wash with warm water and Fairy detergent. It will kill any residue and will again, prove a sanitary storage space.
It's a pretty common go-to, freezing leftovers – whether it's a Bolognese sauce for next week's dinner or a take-away curry that you don't want to waste. Unfortunately, the bad bacteria that grows in food can even survive freezing temperatures. Freezing does not make food safe to eat, as when it's thawed; bacteria can still be present to multiply. The best way to keep yourself and your littleluns safe is to simply prepare fresh food, or when re-heating, ensure it's to at least 75 degrees.
It's the most used kitchen utensil, but you're better off chopping your food on the toilet seat than a chopping board. Despite your best intentions, washing the board after every use isn't the most effective way to rid of those pesky, food-poisoning causing germs. An easy solution is to remember to replace your board regularly and between uses, clean with baking soda and hot water.

It’s almost as if watches parallel the caste system that still exists in India. The worldwide recognition with their masterpieces was spearheaded by Louis. These Cartier replica watches reproduce exact time and possess a superb finish. These timepieces have rounded corners and sleek edges. Nonetheless, he may figure out crucial industry connections which often diametrically recinded from him or her from your various jewelry sales person along with company global. It was Louis Cartier’s lifelong pursuit to develop watches that were the "perfect stability between aesthetics, construction, and perform," whilst he handed absent in 1942, each of today’s lines of Cartier watches for women still embody that mission.
In earlier days people wear shirts just to cover their body whereas while using change in fashion new brands are coming as much as fulfill the stress of trendy and trendy men. This is really because many times shops sell bad quality of Cartier Replicas. Duplicate Cartier watches are popularly determined to initiate a timepiece trend. Mine, I prepare different color within my clothings but I love mostly black color. All in the replica watches are created to meet the exact specs of the first patterns, we not just ensure the replica watches look like the originals but in addition the bodyweight and dimensions are measured being as exact as feasible. There are a few tips using a hope that they can help you to choose the proper one.
All arrogance aside, these Cartier and Rolex Watches will be the most touching and carefully selected presents I’ve ever received. Men were not the only patrons; even women grew a big fascination for it that they can mostly used as jewelry accessories. And furthermore, it is one of the most duplicated, so that it is readily available, with various designs in the Cartier wrist watches available inside the marketplace. This unique developed into your traction which is why now that we understand because this wrist watch. As a now defunct discount clothing retailer in based in New York City accustomed to advise "An educated consumer is healthy customer", which remains sage advice. Though the jewelry for the Cartier replica watches is probably not real as well as the casing of the Cartier replica watches may not be of gold, this wrist watch is an exact replica of the original in every senses.
In a way he or she is extremely old fashioned, and I say that inside most complimentary way, and believe so many new designers could use a healthy dose of what was as opposed for the distorted vision they’ve of what it needs to be. Shaking from your winter blues and choosing the perfect shades for summer can be quite a challenge, but take into account the sunglasses looked after and check out the modern Mosley Tribes sunglasses resort 2011 assortment.

Cartier watches for women can be bought online on Amazon or e - Bay and Cartier’s online or in retail stores too. This classic design includes emphasis on round shape, differing greatly through the popular Tank styles in look. The pocket watches had the same mechanism during the period.
You should only buy the replicas which can be made in both Italy or Sweden. A following evaluation by three siblings, Louis Cartier analysis, Pierre in addition to Jacques inherit the household business. You can known about them at There, you are able to see all kinds of watches. Shirt is really a garment to hide the upper part in the body.

Teachers and students cut and paste text from OER sites all the time—usually that’s where the story ends. The OER site doesn’t know what text was cut, nor how it might be used. Enter CaPRéT: Cut and Paste Reuse Tracking. OER sites that are CaPRéT-enabled can now better understand how their content is being used.
The user gets the text as originally cut, and if their application supports the pasted text will also automatically include attribution and licensing information.
The code and other resources can be found on their site. You can also read Phil Barker’s (JISC CETIS) experience testing CaPReT and feedback and comments about the project on the OER-DISCUSS list.
One of the great things about CaPReT is the activity data is available for anyone to download (or as summaries Who’s using CaPRéT right now? | CaPRéT use in the last hour, day and week | CaPRéT use by day).
Both these examples rely on the same refined data source rendered in different ways and in this post I’ll tell you how it was done. As always it would be useful to get you feedback as to whether these visualisations are useful, things you’d improve or other ways you might use the recipes.
I should also say that there was some post production work done on the map. For some reason some of the ‘great circles’ weren’t so great and wrapped around the map a couple of times. Fortunately these anomalies can easily be removed using Inkscape (and while I was there added a drop shadow.
Using the Basic Example, Google v3 (because it allows custom styling of Google Maps) and Google Spreadsheet Example I was able to format the refined data already uploaded to a Google Spreadsheet and then plug it in as a data source for the visualisation (I did have a problem with reading data from a sheet other than the first one, which I’ve logged as an issue including a possible fix).
A couple of extras I wanted to do with this example is also show and allow the user to filter based on source. There’s also an issue of scalability. Right now the map is rendering 113 entries, if CaPReT were to take off the spreadsheet would suddenly fill up and the visualisation will probably grind to a halt.
So there you go, two recipes for converting IP data into something else. I can already see myself using both methods in other aspects of the OER Visualisation and other project. And all of this was possible because CaPReT had some open data.
I should also say JISC CETIS have a wiki on Tracking OERs: Technical Approaches to Usage Monitoring for UKOER and Tony also recently posted Licensing and Tracking Online Content – News and OERs.

Chapter IX: The Will Of Quay. Posted by The Narrator.
R5 trundles along in Zirak's wake, taking full advantage of the path he clears through the crowd.
"It is a foul moon," Ak-Yev says coldly as he strides beside Zirak, also making no effort to avoid those he passes, "Were it not for my exile, I would never have come to such a place."
"And yet, of all the planets in the galaxy, you chose to come to this place?" Sora says, not bothering to conceal the skepticism from his tone.
"It was Quay's will that I come to this moon, following my exile."
"Ah, of course. How can one argue with Quay."
"You jest, but you will come to see the truth," Ak-Yev replies confidently, "He has sent the Emissary to see that."
This message was last edited by the GM at 05:56, Fri 02 Nov 2018.
Sora shakes his head darkly at Zirak, but remains silent.
They continue to walk in silence for a time as they make their way out of the Entertainment Sector and into the Docks Sector once more. The inebriation levels of the beings about them seems to lower, for the most part, but the crowd about them remains just as dense.
"So, who exactly is Quay?" Sora asks at length, "I gather he is a weequay deity of some kind, but little more than that."
"Sora, don't get him started again," Bane groans.
Ak-Yev glances at Zirak with expectant reverence.
"I'll let you do the explaining," Zirak says quickly, avoiding Sora's eye.
"As Quay wills, Emissary. Quay is the moon god. The chief of all the deities. The lesser gods, such as Am-Shak, are all under his dominion. His will is supreme, and his knowledge omniscient. The chief moon in our system is named after him, and is where he centers his being."
"Precisely," Zirak adds with an approving nod.
"And don't you dare ask who Am-Shak is," Bane warns as Sora opens his mouth once more.
Sora gives Bane an innocent glance.
"I was merely going to ask how Ak-Yev could be so sure of Quay's existence," he says with questionable honesty.
"Quay's existence is indisputable," Ak-Yev says firmly, patting the pouch in which his orb rests once more, "He speaks to me daily, and you have seen the powers he has given the Emissary."
"Oh I've seen them all right," Sora responds darkly.
"Then there you have it," Ak-Yev replies with satisfaction.
"In short, Sora, don't mess with the Emissary of Quay," Zirak smiles smugly.
By this time they have reached the landing platform on which their ship is docked. There is no sign of Quallo, which Bane assures them is a good thing, but Malar's Fist rests where they left it, and shows no outward signs of molestation.
This message was last edited by the GM at 09:13, Fri 02 Nov 2018.
"So just how many weequay deities are there?" Sora is unable to contain himself any longer.
"Oh, hundreds," Ak-Yev assures him, "I shall be honored to educate you on our journey back to Ruul."
Bane gives a pained noise, shaking his head.
"This is going to be a long trip..."

Mad Lib: A QUICK NOTE // ITS OK!
A QUICK NOTE // ITS OK!
I saw today where a sweet fellow blogger posted about the discontentment of life, so to speak, while waiting to get married and it made me realize that while I am so happy with so many aspects of my life, I do have discontentment about the fact that I am not already to the next stage of life where I want to be so badly. And it's okay. It does not mean that I am not grateful for what I do have, it simply means I have it in my heart to be more and to have more. I pray daily that the pieces will move how they need to and fall where they need to so that things will keep progressing and I can eventually get to where my heart so badly desires to be. It seems like everyday another friend/family member/or acquaintance is getting engaged or married and sometimes when I see it, I feel nothing but happiness for them but there are times where I'm green with envy too. A lot of the time I feel guilty for not being "fully satisfied" but I'm starting to see and realize that's OKAY! I am not greedy or childish or any other slew of negative things because I want more for me and Coopers life.
Yesterday we attended my cousins wedding. It had been a few years since I'd attended a wedding and I teared up + got goosebumps over ten times throughout the ceremony and reception. I LOVE love, ya'll. There's nothing like seeing two people so madly in love choosing each other for the rest of their lives. Several people made toasts and through each one I learned more and more about both the bride and the groom and what they are to each other, through the eyes of others, and it was so refreshing. It reconfirmed the things that I've always stood convicted in. I almost saw myself and my own heart in a new light.
Lastly, i think i'm going to unfollow the "Scary Mommy" Facebook page. I read a good article once that someone had shared so I decided to follow their page and now I have at least five "articles" showing up on my feed daily that I don't normally read, but I do always get sucked into the comments. I think it is those articles and those comments sections that bring mothers and people in general down. I don't care how other people do things or what other people thing about how I do things. I love my boy the most out of any living person on this planet and I will always do my best for him, that's plenty enough for us.

As a life coach and business consultant, I hear this question – or some version of it – all the time. Those asking the question are likely facing one of a couple scenarios.
One, you wake up one morning and find yourself in a job you hate, a relationship you don’t want to be in, or a life that has little resemblance to the one you had imagined. You might be feeling low, filled with frustration, shame or regret. This is not where you wanted to be at this time in your life… it’s not the life you wanted to live.
Or maybe you don’t feel unhappy or lost, but you wake up and realize you want something more, new or different. You may have accomplished many of the things you’d imagined for your life and now you’re trying to figure out what to do next.
My job as a coach and consultant is to support my clients to be happier, more successful and fulfilled. To help them get from where they are to where they want to be, uncovering obstacles along the way. This usually involves working through a process and asking powerful questions so they can discover the answers to their biggest questions – including this one.
One of the very first things I share with my clients is this: you don’t have to figure out what you want to do with the entire rest of your life!
You don’t have to work out what you want to be when you “grow up” or discover your entire life’s purpose. You don’t have to commit to a career for the next 20 years. I see so many people paralyzed by thinking they must work everything out for the entire rest of their lives. Of course they feel stressed and overwhelmed!
Such is true for figuring out what you’re doing with your life.
How to answer the question – what am I doing with my life?
Back to the question. Let’s look at a couple of my recent clients.
Sabine* was a smart, successful, vibrant woman. She already had several successful jobs during her career, traveled the world, had a family, and was settling back in a new city. While she originally called wanting to take her business to the next level, we soon realized that wasn’t what she really needed or wanted.
She was trying to figure out what she was doing with her life. For her, this meant realizing she had lost her sense of self. While no one would know from the outside, she was feeling overwhelmed, lost and unsure of herself. She was doing all the “right” things for everyone around her, but she wasn’t doing all the right things for her.
Get a clear picture of what she wanted for this next stage in her life.
Align her life and actions with her value and priorities.
Remember who she was and feel more like herself than she had in years.
Regain confidence and take action on things she had been avoiding.
Gain motivation, self-trust, and security in her decisions.
Then, there’s Max*. Incredibly smart, fun and motivated, Max had successfully climbed up through his career ladder and was happily married with his first child. Life was good. He came to me because he was in the second scenario; Max was trying to figure out what he wanted to do next. Even though he had a great job, he was looking for more – something new, different, challenging and interesting.
Start exploring potential new careers.
Whenever you’re looking at what you’re doing with your life, it’s important to take a step back, look at the big picture and identify what you want. Frankly, if you don’t know what you want, how do you expect to get it?
This seems simple, yet it’s often quite hard to address. When I ask this question, people often tell me what they don’t want or what’s not working. They’ve gotten into the habit of making decisions based on what’s best for their career, family or others… and forget to think about what they want for themselves.
Sabine originally thought she wanted to “take her business to the next level”, but when she dug deeper, she realized there was so much more. She ultimately found that she wanted to feel like herself again; to feel secure, trust and assert herself, and regain her sense of self.
Max wanted to love what he was doing. He wanted to be in a career (or role) that he was energized and “jazzed” about.
What do you want? Get specific.
Is it a new career in which you feel excited and energized? A relationship where you feel honored and loved? To be confident and happy with yourself? To live in a particular place or to explore the world?
Maybe, like Sabine, when you think you have your answer, ask yourself, “what else?” and see what comes up.
Once you are clear on what you want, you can move to the next question.
I have a strong belief and a lot of experience that self-awareness and a little soul searching is critical for success – especially when you’re trying to figure out what you’re doing with your life.
Understanding yourself at a deeper level and making decisions based upon those insights will make sure whatever you choose to do next is something that will make you happier, more successful and more fulfilled. It will make sure that your next step is a step in the rightdirection, not just another step.
What are your core values? What are the beliefs, guiding principles or ideas that are deeply important to you? Which ones are you off track with?
What are your passions? What do you love? What interests you? What gets you engaged, motivated, excited?
What are your skills and talents? Which would you like to use going forward?
What is your wish list? What do you want and need in your life/career/relationship? This might include the type of environment you thrive in, people you want to be surrounded by, or something you want in a role.
What is the impact or difference you want to make? How do you want to serve, contribute or add value?
What do you NOT want? While you don’t want to spend too much time in this space, it’s as important to be aware of what you don’t want as much as what you do!
In addition, I always have my clients take the Instinctive Drives™ questionnaire. It’ s a profiling tool that helps you understand what you need to be at your best. While it happens to be my personal favorite, I highly recommend any tool or resource that will help you gain personal insight.
In her soul searching, Sabine identified that she needed to find and surround herself with her “people”; uncovered what she needed to feel safe and secure; learned she needed to delegate more; and discovered that her direct approach was getting in her way.
Max realized what was most important to him at this stage of his life, identified the limiting beliefs that were getting in his way, learned to stop comparing himself to others and realized how important it was to infuse humor and joy into his everyday life.
Grab a journal. Ask yourself these questions and allow the time and space to discover the answers.
Write everything down. Then, review what you wrote and highlight or circle what stands out or resonates the most. These are what you want to pay attention to as you move forward and think about what you’re doing next with your life.
Then, with a little soul-searching under your belt, it’s time to move on to step 3.
Step 3: What are your options?
You’re not happy where you are. You know you want something else. But what is that “something”? This question allows you to explore what your potential options.
At this point, it’s not about deciding the one thing or making the right choice, it’s about allowing your creative mind to expand and see all the possibilities.
If you hate your career, what new potential careers are on your mind? If you’re unhappy in your relationship, what can you do? If you’re feeling like you need change or an adventure, what could those possibly be?
Brainstorm ALL your options without worrying about whether they are possible or not (just yet). Make a list and keep asking yourself…. what else? This allows you to dig deeper and see opportunities you might have otherwise not explored.
What are all of your possible options at this point in time? Don’t limit them if you can’t see how it’s possible, just get all your ideas out on paper.
Once you have your list of options, then you can move to the next step.
Step 4: Which options are the best fit right now?
Okay, so you have your list of options and possibilities. Now it’s time to narrow it down and explore those options in a little more depth.
Once Max had a complete list of potential career options (including advancing in his current role), he narrowed the list down to the top most interesting and compelling opportunities. We then worked through each of those in greater depth.
A fantastic way to do this is to envision your life “as if” you were in that new role/situation/relationship/option.
Max imagined himself living the life in his new career options. First, he imagined himself as an REI employee. Yes, he had grown a beard and was drinking from a metal mug.
But the next question was even more important. I asked him how he felt. He said while he was excited to be outdoors more, he realized he wouldn’t be fulfilled in that role. He definitely didn’t feel “jazzed”.
We went through all his options, envisioning what life would be like in each role until he found the one in which he felt the most connected. We could both feel a shift in his energy immediately…he was on to something.
Go back to your options list and circle the 1-3 that you feel most connected to, energized by or engaged with. You’ll want to make sure those options fit what you want (question 1) and who you are (question 2).
Once you have a short list, imagine your life as if you took that as your next step. What would you think, feel, hear and see? Can you picture yourself there? Does it feel good? You can also do some research at this point to learn more about each of your options.
Then, armed with information and idea of the best next option for you, it’s time to move on to the next question.
Step 5: What’s stopping you?
This is a big one. As you explore your options, it’s likely you may come up against some barriers.
Perhaps you have fears or limiting beliefs of what you can or can’t do or what someone said you were capable of. Maybe it’s lack of self-esteem or confidence. When these come up, it doesn’t mean the option is wrong, it just means you need to dig a bit further to find out what’s going on It’s important to explore what’s getting in your way.
With Max, he was being held back by a deep, long time belief that he wasn’t good enough – that he wasn’t capable of taking on a higher level, higher risk role. This was holding him back. We worked together until he could move past this perception and on to his next step.
Think about what’s getting in your way or stopping you from moving forward. Once again, don’t stop at your first answer. Ask yourself, “what else?” until you identify what’s getting in your way.
Then, it’s time to move to the last question..
Step 6: What can you do to move forward?
You’ve narrowed down and explored your options and now it’s time to take action. I know this part is hard.
What if it isn’t right? What if there is something else out there? What if it’s the worst decision I ever make? Arrgghh!
These are all real and good questions, but not if they stop you from moving forward towards a more fulfilling life. If you’re feeling hesitant about taking the next step, let me give you a different way to look at it.
If you’re unhappy where you are now, what is the bigger risk? Staying where you are out of fear of doing the wrong thing OR moving forward and seeing where it leads you? It’s better to rock the boat than to die sinking in it, right?
Once you’ve decided, it’s time to act. What’s your first step? Take it.
Give yourself a deadline, a timeline or a goal to make it happen so you can move from ideas to reality.
Make a decision about which option is best for you to move forward into the life you want. Then, take the first step towards that option. Then the next and the next one after that.
Just the sheer fact that you’re asking yourself what you’re doing with your life is a step in the right direction. A mentor of mine always said, 90% of solving a problem is awareness that it exists. You know you need to do something.
Now, if you’re serious about moving forward, it’s time to take the time and put in the effort and answer the questions above. Then, like Sabine and Max, be willing to take action – to step forward into a more fulfilling future – even if you’re not exactly sure how it’s going to play out.
Be brave. You’ve got this. It’s not too late. It’s your life, and, yes, it can be everything you’ve imagined.

The artifacts provide more insight into the lives of settlers that arrived at Roanoke Island and disappeared mysteriously.
The mystery of the ‘lost colony’ of Roanoke Island has intrigued archaeologists over the years.
The English settlers, who came to Roanoke Island in the late 16th century, suddenly disappeared without a trace. There have been many theories about what happened to those colonists, but none of them is called definitive.
Archaeologists working on Roanoke Island have recently discovered some pottery fragments that are believed to be a part of a jar belonging to a medicine maker from the lost colony.
The small fragments are blue, white and brown in color and were unearthed two feet below the surface near an ancient mound. The pieces are likely a part of an ointment or a medicine jar which could not remain intact, but some of its shards had been safely placed under the ground.
“It’s very exciting to see these cultural objects come out of the ground and every object does tell a story. I think it’s another piece of the puzzle that you can connect to the Raleigh Colonies.” Jamie Lanier, Cultural Resources Manager for The Outer Banks Group, told News 3.
Researchers estimate the medicine jar would have been 3 inches tall and 1.5 inches in diameter when it was unbroken. This is the most significant artifact discovery since 1940 (when similar pieces were unearthed) that give tantalizing clues about the people of Roanoke Island.
“Lost Colony” settlers were the third group of English arrivals on North Carolina’s Roanoke Island sent by explorer Walter Raleigh in 1587. The group was meant to settle around the area what is now called town of Manteo. The first two groups arrived at the region 1584 and 1585 respectively.
While archaeologists have yet to determine the cause of English settler’s sudden disappearance, findings such as the pottery remnants offer new insight into the lives of the people of lost colony.

Whatsapp and other networking sites are circulating a message about closure of public sector banks which is become viral lately. The message reads that the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is going to shut down 9 government banks in July due to “excess loans not recovered”. Those people who have accounts in these banks should withdraw their money immediately, the message warns. People are panicking and want their money to be safe. According to the viral message if an account holder does not withdraw his/her money, it can get seized.
The viral message claims: “RBI has ordered that from July 31, UCO Bank, Corporation Bank, IDBI, Bank of Maharashtra, Andhra Bank, IOB, Central Bank of India, Dena Bank and United Bank of India will be closed.
Googlevirals took this viral message as a serious concern and tried to get a reality check of this message.
By searching the RBI website and the supreme court website, we could not find any such information. When we called the head offices of these Banks and the Managers, they clarified they have no such notification issued to them by either RBI or the Supreme Court.
RBI spokesperson Jose Kattur told a newspaper that message related to closure of banks are absolutely fake. No such order has been issued by the RBI and the government. There is no such planning ahead. All these banks will continue to run and the money deposited in these banks is completely safe. Therefore, account holders should not panic or believe in such fake messages.
So the Truth is all 9 banks (UCO Bank, Corporation Bank, IDBI, Bank of Maharashtra, Andhra Bank, IOB, Central Bank of India, Dena Bank and United Bank of India) shall remain open and the message circulating on Whatsapp about their closure is absolutely false. Even the Finance Ministry confirmed this calling the messages ridiculous and baseless.

What Was Done For You — 2.0 – Foreign Courts Doing Business Here! Fraud!
It is apparent that many of you didn’t quite grasp the importance of our announcement in the article titled “What Was Done For You”, so let me expand upon it for a moment in words you all can grasp.
According to the Roman Catholic Church, Jesus died for your sins (another word for “sins” is “debts”) 2000 years ago and he purchased the entire Earth and all that exists on Earth with his body and his blood.
This is the basis of the Roman Catholic Church’s establishment of the Unum Sanctum Trust dba E Pluribus Unum, and their claim to be the Trustees of the whole planet—-air, land, and sea.
Either He did or He didn’t.
Either He did, and there is basis for the Roman Catholic Church’s claim to own everything in His name, or He didn’t, in which case it makes sense that we are still being abused and laboring like pack dogs in the Arctic.
So, realizing this, I placed the infinite Credit owed to Jesus on the books of the Vatican Chancery Court, in accordance with His Will firmly recorded throughout the New Testament, and I redeemed as Jesus’ bondservant the Kingdom of God —- that is, the “Kingdom of Gold, Order, and Dominion” and all the Names and NAMES which are debt ACCOUNTS associated with it, in the name of the Kingdom of Heaven.
Satan has been bonded, that is, “bound” for 1,000 years, precisely as Scripture requires.
It’s pay up or shut up time for the Pope and the Roman Catholic Church, and especially for the pagan office of the Roman Pontiff which FRANCISCUS occupies, and which has benefited itself from the Death for Profit insurance fraud schemes we have described.
After all, if Jesus paid for all debts and that’s the reason that the RCC claims to own everything, then they need to be paying for everything and everyone, too.
This is both “Checkmate” and “Endgame” for the world that men have created. Either do what is right and bring an end to the Satanic “Death for Profit” system or be revealed as a complete fraud.

Andersonville POWs Hang Their Own; Lincoln Willing to Pursue Peace . . .
July 11-12, 1864. In the summer and fall of 1864, General Robert E. Lee sent General Jubal Early’s corps to sweep Union forces from the Shenandoah Valley and to threaten Washington, DC. Lee hoped that doing so would cause Grant to send re-enforcements north from where they faced Lee around Richmond and Petersburg, Virginia.
Early’s arrival in the Washington area was delayed first by an inconclusive battle near Harpers Ferry, and then by his resting his troops for three days. Those delays meant that while he arrived at the outskirts of Washington on July 11 when it was modestly defended, he was not able to attack the Union’s capital. There were skirmishes and exchanges of artillery. Early’s troops burned down the home of Postmaster General Montgomery Blair in Silver Spring, Maryland, and got within five miles of the White House.
During the raid on Washington, Lincoln visited Camp Stevens, part of the defensive line just outside the city. Historian John Stauffer writes, “Wearing his signature stovepipe hat, he looked over the parapet as bullets whistled by. He seemed to be courting death. The veteran soldier and future Supreme Court justice Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. took him for a naïve civilian and yelled, ‘Get down, you damn fool, before you get shot!'” Lincoln did.
Lee crossed into Virginia on July 13 and then led his troops into the Shenandoah Valley, where the action would focus through the summer and fall.

In September, Sgt. Forbes, the diarist who recorded the incident, was transferred to another prison camp at Florence, South Carolina. He died there on February 7, 1865, two months before the end of the war.
