Investors drop out of Coos Bay coal port project
Mar 11, 2013
By JEFF BARNARD
AP Environmental Writer
GRANTS PASS — A California marine terminal management company has until the end of the month to decide if it still wants to try to develop the Port of Coos Bay to ship coal mined in Montana and Wyoming to Asia, now that two of its partners have dropped out.
A document posted on the International Port of Coos Bay website Monday says Mitsui & Co., the U.S. subsidiary of a Japanese trading company, and Korean Electric Power Corp., the potential buyer of the coal, are no longer part of the project.
The development was first reported by Oregon Public Broadcasting.
Metropolitan Stevedore Company of Wilmington, Calif., known as Metro Ports, on March 5 signed a renewal of its exclusive negotiating agreement with the port, which is good through March 31. The company did not return a call for comment.
Coos Bay is one of five Northwest ports interested in exporting coal mined in Montana and Wyoming to markets in Asia.
Environmentalists have mounted a campaign to stop the shipments, arguing that burning coal in Asia is bad for global warming and acidification of the oceans, and that the huge trains hauling coal are bad for the health and lifestyle of communities along the route.
"They are going to have a lot of difficulty moving forward, because of the infrastructure upgrades necessary both to the rail lines and the bridges and overpasses they are asking the partner investors to foot the bill on," Sierra Club spokeswoman Krista Collard said.
Port of Coos Bay spokeswoman Elise Hamner said the project is still conceptual, and at the end of the month Metro Ports could decide to drop consideration of Coos Bay, move forward, or ask for more time for research.
A 2012 feasibility study for the project estimates that coal exports through Coos Bay could go from 3 million metric tons annually in the first year, to 10 million metric tons in the fifth year. Construction of a bulk marine terminal is estimated at $250 million and upgrades to the Coos Bay Rail Link between Coos Bay and Eugene are estimated at $182 million. Construction would generate 895 direct jobs. Port operations would sustain 82 jobs in the first year and 165 jobs in the fifth.
Other ports pursuing coal exports are Cherry Point and Longview in Washington, and St. Helens and Morrow in Oregon.

How Kenny Rogers Taught Us Business Strategy Through Poker
It's no secret that I am a big poker fan. In fact, I love the game. It's not because I like to gamble though, in fact, I hate to lose. What I love about poker is strategy. You have to be very strategic to win at poker. It's not just about the cards you hold, it's about the cards that others hold that you can't see. It's also about reading people, taking calculated risks, and not letting others know what cards you are holding.
One of the most popular songs of all time was The Gambler sung by Kenny Rogers. It hit #1 on the Billboard charts back in the late 70's, and has been used in pop culture ever since. Kenny even sings it in a new Geico Commercial. As I was watching a replay of a poker tournament I was inspired to look at the parallels between business and poker using some of the lyrics from the song.
If you're gonna play the game boy you gotta learn to play it right. In poker, if you sit at a table and don't know the rules, we call that gambling. It's no different in business. If you set out to be a business owner with nothing more than an idea and your savings, you will end up like most, losing your savings and learning how to play the game of business the hard way.
You've got to know when to hold 'em. Building a successful business isn't easy or everyone would do it. There are MANY times you will feel like giving up. Sometimes it will be warranted, but most of the time it's because you just haven't been in that position before, and it's uncomfortable. Getting a mentor or adviser whose been there and done that will increase your odds of success.
Know when to fold 'em. There are times in business when quitting makes sense. The economy changes and sometimes you have to change with it. It can hurt, but in the end it can pay off. For me, the mortgage "rush" of 2003-2006 gave me a few of those moments. It was a tough decision to sell a company I was running at the time, but I was able to jump into the warm waters of the mortgage business in 2003. Using my marketing expertise, I parlayed that opportunity into a huge success. Of course a few years later, that industry crashed and I once again had to make a tough decision, but it really wasn't that tough; it just made good business sense.
In another instance, a company I was running launched a new product too early. The cost of launching this new product had not been sufficiently calculated (and it was 100% my fault) but in the end, changing course (outsourcing) proved to be a great move as it reduced all of the costs associated with the launch. It wasn't a complete fold, but I folded the plan as I had envisioned.
Know when to walk away. Not every deal is a good deal so not every deal is worth fighting for. If you find yourself in a position of wondering why things are not working out the way they should, ask yourself what you would lose by walking away. When you walk away, you are still in control because it's your decision.
Know when to run. The other day I asked one of my business partners about a situation. It was about doing business with someone whose integrity I questioned. His words were something to the tune of "run, and run fast." I knew that was the right move, it's just nice to have trusted advisers to reinforce your beliefs. My advice is to always run from people who are ethically challenged in business. Listen to your inner voice; if you sense it, that's probably for a good reason. Those people will never serve you well and there is always someone else with integrity to do business with.
The secret to survivin' is knowin' what to throw away and knowin' what to keep. This is the directive to stay focused. In the course of a day, there is so much you could do, but only a small amount of what you should do. Focus can make or break your business. I have seen many businesses fail for lack of focus, and I have been guilty of this myself.
Cause every hand's a winner and every hand's a loser. It's not the cards, it's how you play them. I truly believe we are the factor that makes the difference between success and failure. It's about choices, and it's about having a winning mindset. If you are losing, you need to find out why because what's showing up in your business life is a reflection of your subconscious beliefs. Your subconscious mind doesn't know what business is, it only knows how you react to situations. If those situations are related to your business and your reactions are negative, then it will associate negative feelings with your business activities and in the end that won't produce success.
The mindset game is the one that so many miss. If you want more insights on that, I encourage you to check out the Quantum Emergence System. This wasn't intended to be a plug for that, but it just fit. It's a system I have used and benefited immensely from.
Whether you are a poker player, business owner, Kenny Rogers fan, or any combination thereof, I hope you found some value here. If you are a poker player and a business owner, it will probably resonate a bit more.
In closing, I leave you with that wonderful song, The Gambler.
The Biggest Mistake People Are Making on Social Media According to Mark Cuban
When I first read the similarly titled Inc article featuring Mark Cuban, I was curious to hear what he had to say about social media. Given my perspective (marketing) I expected to hear about some failure in process or strategy, but Mark's concerns are primary focuses on protecting your digital footprint. Below is an excerpt from the article, but I encourage you to click through and listen to his interview.
The digital profiles generated by social-media accounts and text messaging will one day "put Minority Report to shame," says entrepreneur Mark Cuban.
"People are starting to realize that our privacy is disintegrating," he tells Inc.com.
via Mark Cuban: The Big Mistake You Don't Know You're Making on Social Media | Inc.com.
In the video, Cuban discusses two of his current projects that address the "eternal digital footprint"by deleting social media history. These two projects are Xpire and Cyber Dust.
I'd love to hear your thoughts after listening to the interview, so feel free to comment below after you've watched it.

Pages 4 and 5 of GO! Magazine were in a bit of flux this week.
Hindsight is 20/20, of course. But the fact of the matter is that if someone tells you that Kanye West and a host of other nationally touring rappers are coming to Bend for a show at the Domino Room, you have to at least have a plan to cover it, just in case this pie-in-the-sky idea actually falls to Earth.
Even if your better judgment is jumping up and down, waving its hands at you and shouting, "WHAT ARE YOU THINKING? THIS IS NOT HAPPENING!"
Here's the short version of the story: On Jan. 17, the local radio station Power 94 claimed on Facebook and Twitter that it would be bringing "the biggest hip hop star in the world" to Bend.
If you set aside the fact that the station could've been engaging in hyperbole for hype's sake, to me, that means Jay-Z or Kanye West.
And if you know even a little bit about the concert-promotion business — and believe me, I only know a little bit — then you assume a Jay-Z or Kanye West show in Central Oregon would happen at Les Schwab Amphitheater or the event center at the Deschutes County Fair & Expo Center. And you assume we'd know about it a couple months or more in advance. At least.
Right? These are things that make sense.
Naturally, my curiosity was piqued by Power 94's tease, so I sent out a couple emails and began to hear Kanye's name.
More specifically, I heard Kanye's name from a couple people, and enough skepticism from others to feed the Kardashian family for a year.
I started poking around. Power 94's Facebook linked to an event page promoting an "Underground Rap Event" at the Domino Room on Jan. 26 that promised a rap battle among local artists followed by performances by big names like Soulja Boy, YG, Iamsu! and ... yeah ... a super-secret surprise special guest!
Click. Read the comments. Find the organizer of the show battling her own skeptics by dropping Kanye's name.
So I messaged her, and she said he'd be there to judge the battle, alongside another guy who was sponsoring the show. So I wrote him. And he said he and West would be there.
I knew that if this was true, it couldn't be a simple matter of paying Kanye West's presumably ungodly appearance fee. So I asked how this was happening and was told he's close friends with one of the rappers on the bill, a guy named Young Sam.
Friendship and a favor is the only way Kanye West would show up at the Domino Room to judge a rap battle, and even then I'd guess it's a loooongshot.
I emailed West's publicist, didn't hear back, and wrote a post on The Bulletin's music blog, Frequency, detailing what I'd learned. I tried to inject that post with as much skepticism as I could.
That published Monday. On Tuesday, the wheels came off this whole thing.
First, Young Sam posted on Facebook that he would not be in Oregon and didn't know about the show. On Twitter, Iamsu! replied to a tweet heralding the lineup with one word: false.
So, we called West's publicist's office to try to confirm his appearance. A receptionist there was quite certain he would not be in Bend this weekend.
Soulja Boy's publicist said the same thing. So did YG's management company. Power 94 removed any mention of the show from its Facebook and website.
And on Wednesday, organizers told The Bulletin the show was "postponed," though they blamed the problems on online hackers and negative comments surrounding the event. Ticket purchasers were apparently being reimbursed.
There are details here that are too murky to get into. It's Thursday morning as I write this, and I've decided I don't even want to try to ferret out what happened.
But let's talk for just a minute about one of the oldest adages in the book: If something seems too good to be true, it probably is.
Kanye West appearing at the Domino Room to judge a rap battle falls squarely into this category.
Late this week, I asked Les Schwab Amphitheater manager Marney Smith if even her venue could (a) afford a West show, and (b) accommodate his production needs.
She called back and gave me some estimates based on LSA's experience booking big-name acts. If you want West in your building, you can figure on:
• a simple appearance fee between $400,000 and $750,000. (LSA generally books shows that cost in the range of $25,000 to $200,000.)
• production costs (crew, security, backstage) of $100,000 to $150,000. (LSA generally spends $30,000 per show on production.)
• an agreement to hand over 75 to 95 percent of vendor sales to the artist.
• needing around 70 feet of stage clearance for lighting and other equipment. (LSA has 28 feet of stage clearance.)
LSA also can sell 7,000 to 8,000 tickets to a show. The Domino Room holds around 500.
Granted, Kanye West was not advertised as performing in Bend this weekend, but his alleged appearance, plus performances by hit-making MCs like Soulja Boy and Tyga (the "Rack City" rapper was a late addition to the mythical lineup), clearly put this show so far outside the realm of reality, it's a wonder that this thing even gained steam in the first place.
A side bummer about this whole situation is that it casts aspersions on legitimate concert venues and promoters who already have to work hard to get artists to venture off the interstate and over the Bend, Oregon.
We don't need that.
So folks, when you see or hear something about a show, do a little digging to make sure it's the real deal. Take time to notice the name of the promoter. Have you heard of them? Note the size of the venue and the lead time to the show. Do they make sense for the artist involved?
These are things we haven't had to deal with much of in Bend, if at all. But as someone on Facebook said (I'm paraphrasing): "Bend is big enough for a rap-show scam now!"
If something seems too good to be true, it probably is. So be careful out there.
I'm talking to myself, too.

I'm really happy I got a positive on my OPK today!!! This is my first time using the OPK's the right way and I was worried that I wasn't O'ing at all but to have a positive on CD15 is great! Now we will just have to wait and see if it sticks. We used the pre seed for the first time and I'll use it again tomorrow. I don't wanna get my hopes up to high because I'll be testing if AF doesn't show the second week December. Having a BFP for Christmas will be a blessing! Either why I have to stay positive and in a good mood....
Thanks ladies for all the info and support.

Yay for positive opk's!! Christmas bfps would be the best present ever :) Hear that Santa? Lol!

Yay for O'ing! FX'd that you'll get that BFP, that would be a great Christmas present...
|Wed, 11-30-2011 - 11:51am
I'm two dpo and feel really positive about this cycle. We used the preseed only once DH really didn't like it. Now I just have to wait and see if I get my Christmas BFP.
|Wed, 11-30-2011 - 12:07pm
Pre seed can be tricky. The recommended amount is freaking ridiculous. We used less than half that & dh hated it too. It was way too slippery & ruined the sensation for him to the point that he couldn't finish! Talk about being counterproductive! Now we just use a small amount externally.
KC that's great that you're feeling so positive :) I swear if I get a Christmas bfp I'm hanging the frer on the Christmas tree ;) Good luck!!

When it comes to consuming content online, gender stereotypes remain strong. Vive la difference.
We all know men and women consume online content differently and there's a proliferation of websites specifically geared toward these two demographics. But the question is how do they consume content differently? Our media company, which includes SheKnows and CraveOnline, extensively surveyed readers of both its male and female-targeted websites to better understand the different ways men and women are consuming content online. The resulting insights can help publishers and marketers build stronger connections and deeper engagement with these two audiences.
Let's begin with where men and women are going online to consume content. Our research found that women are going to general sites that offer a wide range of categories of content all on one site to peruse through such as iVillage.com, SheKnows.com, or Yahoo Shine. These sites tend to be a natural extension of the traditional women's magazine format. By contrast, men are going to sites of specific and often narrow interests - sports, news, gaming, and entertainment. Often these sites are unfamiliar to a mainstream audience, but very popular among certain affinities. Every hardcore video gamer knows IGN.com and every Mixed Martial Arts fan visits Sherdog.com.
The next question is why are they going to these sites and what do they value online. Women are seeking content that provides advice and information. Again, think back to traditional print magazines with full-page articles that feature advice on parenting, relationships, recipes, etc. Our research discovered that women find informative/useful articles almost three times more valuable than men. Men, on the other hand, value news or information such as sport results, weather reports, and stock research, or they are seeking recreation such as humorous videos.
We know where and why they are seeking out these specific sites, but what are they doing once they get there? Women read full articles and join communities to seek others' opinions and advice while sharing and connecting with others. ComScore found that women spend nearly 30 percent more time than men on social networking sites. Traffic patterns on our web properties suggest that when it comes to content sites, men are getting in and getting out - gathering their information and moving on. Specifically, men are spending four minutes on male-targeted CraveOnline.com; just half the time that women are spending on female-focused SheKnows.com. When it comes to sharing, men will share something if it makes them look better or makes someone else look worse. For example, women will post photos of their children or pets, while men are more likely to post pictures of their car.
With all that said, how do marketers effectively connect with women/men online? Based on our research and experience, we suggest four important strategies:
1. Target where they spend their time, and are most engaged.
2. Use your time wisely.
3. Provide value.
Successful advertisers are thinking beyond traditional banner ads and providing something of value to their online consumers.
4. Empower them to share.

TO: Interested Parties
FR: Obama Communications
RE: Obama Wins Debate and Commander in Chief Test
DA: July 24, 2007
Can he be commander in chief? This is a threshold Obama knows he must cross. The campaign probably didn't like the tone of the media coverage. HRC was annointed as presidential for insisting that she would not be a propaganda tool for foreign governments and Obama's answer was her foil.
Here is a meta-problem: Obama is clearly ready to start making clear distinctions with Clinton, but something about the debate format stymies his nerve. It's one thing to say out loud that Hillary Clinton exemplifies Washington double speak. It's quite a bit less powerful to say it in a memorandum sent to reporters.
Last night at the debate, Obama displayed the judgment he will exhibit as Commander in Chief that impressed focus groups conducted by both Fox and CNN.
Debate focus groups are useful, but they come with a caveat: often, people in groups say they expect others want to hear.
He showed his willingness to lead and ask tough questions on matters of war and he offered a dramatic change from the Bush administration's seven-year refusal to protect our security interests by using every tool of American power available – including diplomacy.
Senator Hillary Clinton, however, did nothing to dispel questions that have arisen as a result of her support for the war in Iraq, even as the National Intelligence Estimate has found that our focus on Iraq has hindered our ability to track down and destroy al Qaeda. When pressed, she gave no explanation for not demanding an exit strategy before we invaded a country riven by deep ethnic rivalries that portended civil war and a long, uncertain occupation. Obama warned of such an outcome in 2002, and said the war would undermine us in the battle against Al Qaeda, as has now proven true.
This might be the most direct charge ever lobbed at Hillary by Obama's campaign.
From the debate -- Obama: …one thing I have to say about Senator Clinton's comments a couple of moments ago. I think it's terrific that she's asking for plans from the Pentagon, and I think the Pentagon response was ridiculous. But what I also know is that the time for us to ask how we were going to get out of Iraq was before we went in. And that is something that too many of us failed to do. We failed to do it. And I do think that that is something that both Republicans and Democrats have to take responsibility for. When I am president of the United States, when I send our troops into battle, I am going to be absolutely sure that it is based on sound intelligence, and I'm going to tell the truth to the American people, as well as the families who are being asked to sacrifice.
On issues of national security, Obama made clear that making America safer would require using tough diplomacy with countries like Iran and North Korea that have seen dramatic expansions of their nuclear programs during the seven years of the Bush presidency.
From the debate -- Obama: Now, Ronald Reagan and Democratic presidents like JFK constantly spoke to Soviet Union at a time when Ronald Reagan called them an evil empire. And the reason is because they understood that we may not trust them and they may pose an extraordinary danger to this country, but we had the obligation to find areas where we can potentially move forward. And I think that it is a disgrace that we have not spoken to them. We've been talking about Iraq -- one of the first things that I would do in terms of moving a diplomatic effort in the region forward is to send a signal that we need to talk to Iran and Syria because they're going to have responsibilities if Iraq collapses.

The Belgian artists was commissioned by De Invasie and STUK as part of a larger exhibition on sustainable living. A wall along a staircase leading into the centre was covered with moss and Strook used it as the backdrop for his latest work. Using a hand-held pressure washer, he etched his designs into the moss and algae. With this is graphic art via cleaning, no chemicals, paint or cleaning agents were used at all.
Strooks designs were freehanded and most of them were created on the fly as he went. The theme behind much of his work is where man meets machine, and the reverse graffiti wall is a great example of how a machine helped him create art. The wall is covered with buildings, robots, and creatures.
As he describes his work on his site, "More and more, we are dictated by technology. That intrigues me. And so do the cities we live in. That's why I populate my drawings with humanoids – robots with a human shape – and cyborgs – physical merges of man and machine."

Introduce vegetables to old favourites for up-to-the-minute healthy family meals. This well-loved pasta dish is delicious with mushrooms, peas and peppers added. Using a small amount of powerful Roquefort cheese ensures that the sauce is creamy and full flavoured, but not too high in fat.
This dish is completely different than the traditional macaroni cheese. It's made by baking together macaroni, tomatoes and Cheddar. Simple and incredibly delicious.
My go-to dish when we are having my kid's friends over for dinner. Even the fussiest child loves this cheesy macaroni with tomato sauce.
Broccoli and cauliflower add extra nutrients to a family favourite, while a fat-free sauce keeps it light.

Dubbed the "last chance million man protest" thousands of Egyptians poured into Cairo's Tahrir Square in scenes reminiscent of events just nine months ago. But with Hosni Mubarak, the Egyptian president, long gone and now in custody, this time their target is Egypt's military leadership.
The Supreme Council of the Armed Forces has appointed a new prime minister, who will form a 'national salvation government'. But with numbers of protesters swelling daily, they are in no mood to compromise. They have demanded that the military should hand over power to a civilian government immediately.
What now for Egypt's revolution? Can parliamentary elections go ahead as planned despite the ongoing unrest?Inside Story, with presenter James Bays, discusses with guests Sherif Gaber, a pro-democracy activist; Dina Zakariya, a member of the political committee for the Freedom and Justice Party; and Joseph Kechichian, a Middle East analyst.

Solid board
By Matt miller
from Kings park NY
About Me Intermediate
This board is an AMAZING powder board, the caner rocker combo allows it to be extremely playful while in thick powder. Great for maneuvering through rough terrain. Iv herd that it is bad at high speeds and it gets shaky but i use it about as fast as i can go and i never have issues. It has extra contact points to allow small turns with ease but sharp powerful turns at high speeds etc. great board for someone just getting into park riding but doesn't know if it is necessarily for them. Over all its a great all around board! Scratches easily... They are battle scars, it gives it character... Thats how i look at it. Great flex, id say a 5/10. It is right in the middle so it is good all around

Argan & Ghassool Shampoo + Spa Body Bar
Moroccan Rose Rose-Plenishing Facial Water
Millions of years ago, deep within the steep Atlas Mountains of Morocco, developed a unique form of clay high in skin healing silica and detoxifying minerals. The clay forms a dry, cake like mud river where it is collected in chip form. This chip form is in its most active form. Ghasool in its powdered form has been heated and micronized, losing some of its healing powers.
Unlike other clays found the world round, ghasool clay not only purifies the skin but heals and softens as well. After washing off the paste skin is found to be silky soft, noticably softer than before application. The clays high silica content actually helps cracked feet to heal and acne to quickly vanish.
Tammie has been providing her clients with quality ghassool for almost a decade. On her trip to Morocco in 2009 she decided to purchase ghassool in its original, unprocessed form. She had clumps of it from years ago but never used it, so she was amazed by her findings and wished she had tried the clumps she had kept for client education. She used the more active chips on an acne spot that would not go away for weeks. Astonishingly, the acne healed and dissappeared in less than 24 hours despite the fact she was now traveling with eleven children in Egypt and extremely ill. She has since used the clay in its most active form for a variety of reasons, always with unbelievable results.
Contains only: 100% pure Moroccan ghassool lava clay
Combine with rose water (anti-aging, soothing), orange blossom water (acne, oily skin), Cape lavender water (soothing, healing), Cape chamomile water (calming, soothing), or other distillate, milk or aloe juice. Stir into a creamy paste the consistancy of pudding. Apply to whole body including face. Allow to semi-dry for 15 minutes. Wash off.
Make as above. Massage into hair. Rinse off. Follow up with a natural conditioner.

A spa experience at home!!
I love this mask because it makes my skin so smooth and clean. I feel like my skin is breathing as it sucks out whatever dirt, dead skin cells and excess oil was in my skin. I follow with the rosehip and carrot oil and I am in heaven. I am so glad a\I bought this product because I have oily skin. I am hoping in time, my acne scars will disappear.

Most amazing purchase!
I'm simply amazed at the quality and effectiveness of this mask! I can really feel the mask working and drawing the purities out as it tightens and always leaves the skin so dewy and smooth! Not only that, this is so versatile! i use aloe juice when i'm having an outbreak, coconut water when i'm feeling dry and a great variety of tea depending on how my skin feels. Its a perfect ingredient for your own customised routine. Throw away those ready-made mask you bought off the store racks and make it yourself with this amazing clay! nothing beats freshly made mask by yours truly!

I used this once, and should've ground it up first. The flakes/chunks are fairly large, and you can't break them up while in the shower. So I'm going to put it in my coffee grinder to get it fine enough to use. I'd like to have it come more ready to mix with water, but I'm sure after grinding up it will be great.

I have been suffering from hormonal acne and stress acne since the birth of my second son. Countless hours at the dermatologist with harsh products just seem to make it worse. I came across Shea Terra on You Tube. I first bought the black soap...I was hooked. This mask was my next buy. It is an absolute miracle. It has drawn out all those gunky pores. I have not had many break outs and my skin tone feels amazing. This mask is a must.

Take 1 dose of exercise 3X a week....

|Mon, 03-25-2013 - 11:49am
Has your doctor ever prescribed exercise for your overall health? Does he/she ever ask you about your exercise routines? According to Health Day News, if your doctor is fit, he/she is more likely to prescribe exercise to you. "If physicians think their own fitness is important, chances are they'll advise exercise for their patients too, a new study finds.
The research found that physically fit doctors were more likely to push for physical activity in patients than inactive doctors.
Because people often take their doctor's advice seriously, "these findings suggest that improving health care providers' physical activity levels may be an easy way to help reduce physical inactivity among the general population," Isabel Garcia de Quevedo, of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said in an American Heart Association news release." more
Both my family doctor and OB/GYN are exercise enthusiasts and ask me each visit about my exercise habits and offer advice. What about yours?
|Mon, 03-25-2013 - 3:14pm
My PCP will ask at my physical how much I'm working out and what I'm doing. My GYN will just ask if I'm exercising.
|Mon, 03-25-2013 - 7:12pm
|Sun, 03-31-2013 - 8:45pm
Hmmm, given that I normally see my doctor when I've injured myself from running too much, or falling when I was skiing or... no, he doesn't usually bring it up. It's such an important part of health, though, that I think they should. At the same time, it's such a known component of health that they wouldn't be mentioning anything new. Mine also asks about smoking and alcohol use. At this point, everyone knows smoking is bad for you. I asked that in my pt workshop--whether we should tell the cleint it's better to stop. The instructor said they know. It's great if you can add some new fact to it, eg. destroying air sacs so you can't breathe as well when you exercise but to tell them it's bad for them puts up a barrier and adds nothing.

Location & area
Los Alcazares is a working Spanish town with all the facilities you would need, like banks, shops, restaurants etc. Its main attraction is the beach which extends for 5kms and has a palm lined promenade all along its length, the water is clear and blue flag status has been achieved. The sea is very safe from a child's point of view as it is non tidal and fairly shallow and gently deepens as you leave the shore. It is well connected to the rest of Spain by way of motorway and major roads and to the outside world by 2 nearby international airports.
El Divino is a community of about 200 properties which has many year round residents as well as holidaymakers, for this reason it is impeccably maintained and reasonably quiet, it is very suitable for families and couples.
The apartment is under a 5 minute walk to the Mercadona plaza where you will find a supermarket, shops, restaurants, bars, cafes, banks, indeed, most holiday facilities. You are also within a 10 minute walk of the beach and car hire is not necessary unless you wish to explore a little further afield. If you do need car hire at short notice this can be arranged by the apartment manager.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

Some cars are nice and some aren't. some feel refined and some feel dated
Oh yeah, camaro and vette best cars ever beats a mustang all day
How is chevy and ford over honda no offense to america but you guys suck when it comes to cars like I swear gm owns almost American car brand and ford and dodges pickups looks exzactly the same also I'm a American so don't hate on me for saying that because Japanese cars are the best for their price
Very reliable and family friendly but they seem kind of boring to look at
Should be at the top next to Toyota and Hyundai
On my 2nd Nissan- Love it! Very reliable, sleek. Wouldn't have anything else!
Love my Nissan, very reliable, have owned a Nissan model for over 10 years
Nissan actually can make really fast cars
I have the beetle convertible and it is amazing!
(the reg beetle is also nice)
(the reg beetle is also nice)
For those that love performance in there cars volkswagens a good one. reliability isn't that great on them though
Pretty much like a cheaper luxury car. look more expensive then chevys.
My wife and I purchased a 2014 Kia Optima. I have never seen a more stylish automobile with all the options at the ridiculously low price... Heated front and rear seats, GPS and Sirius and the Optima rides like a Caddy. We are very pleased with this car.
Great car for young and older people. I have owned my Kia for 8 years. Love it and plan to get another one when this one is done.
Makes a great young persons car. pretty much hyundai with more style options

Authorities are renewing their request for help from the public in the probe of the hit-run crash that killed two highway workers in Douglas County.
One of the leads deputies are following is that the pickup truck involved may have been driven through the work zone nearly an hour before the fatalities occurred Tuesday.
Tyrone Korte of Seneca and Rolland Griffith of El Dorado were struck on U.S. 59 south of Lawrence and died at the scene.
Forty-eight-year-old Ramona Morgan and her daughter Sabrina Morgan are jailed in Osage County on charges related to a police chase that followed.
Ramona Morgan is accused of being the driver of the truck, at least while it was in Osage County.
Douglas County and Highway Patrol officials say they don't know when the investigation into the fatalities will be completed.
The truck was a 2002 dark blue Chevrolet A-71 with an extended cab, tinted windows and dealer advertisement tags on the front and
back bumpers.
The dealership was NEXT2NEW Auto Sales in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
