Sunday Blessings
Monday, April 07, 2014
God just kept pouring out yesterday....
I had asked for the day off of work because we were having a guest speaker at church: Graham Cooke!
My boss told me there was no way I could get that Sunday off. I begged and got the morning off for church. I was scheduled 2-10:30pm.
Graham Cooke's message was about prayer and receiving. He said we came into the Kingdom because God initiated a relationship with us and drew us to Him. We received Him. God is always the initiator and we are always the receiver.
Mr. Cooke said that Jesus is always making intercession for us to the Father and that the Holy Spirit is interceding for us with groaning too deep for words. Therefore if Jesus and the Holy Spirit are praying for us, it would be good for us to learn to listen to what they are saying and join in with them, making a three-fold cord of prayer--praying With God instead of just To God.
So, we should start each day with our hands and heart open to receiving whatever gift God wants to put into them that day.
This may not be a new concept to you, you may not agree with it, but it was a beautiful and simple concept to me!
And, God cares about the details. The silly little details that delight us. I mentioned before that I had tried on a dress and really liked it, but that it was on the expensive side for me. When I checked my email yesterday morning there was a coupon for $30 off that particular dress! After church, I went and bought it. It fit even better than it did the first time! And, it matches the shoes I bought as well as a bracelet that was a Christmas gift from a friend. God is in the details.
Then I went to work and found out that my manager changed the schedule: I had yesterday AND today off of work! Thank You Jesus!
We've even changed our plans for our trip slightly. We will be renting a car and driving to Corpus Christi--not a huge or exotic trip, but a nice road trip since we've never been there. (I've been to Europe, Greece, Turkey, Israel, Canada, Hawaii, the East Coast, but I've not seen much of TX and I've never been to Mexico!)
But, we're going to leave early on Sunday morning and go to Austin to attend our old church and visit friends for a day before going on to Corpus. Our old church only had about 25 people and it was very much like family so we've missed them.
Blessings everywhere we turn!

Yes, We do need to pay attention... otherwise we might miss acknowledging a blessing that God bestows upon us. We just think we are lucky or maybe don't even appreciate the gift at all.. just accept it as our due and use it.
I was listening to a talk the other day and the speak was emphasizing that we need to be thankful for all of God's gifts, even the ones we do not like or that carry sadness with them.
I believe that sometimes we are given burdens to strengthen us,,, sometimes with those burdens God is using us to strengthen others and to show them how to be thankful.

Update on Sari Ayu GroupWith five members left, the Sari Ayu group continues to borrow from MUK to expand its business. Three of their friends became successful and became motivation for them. They want success and to improve their families' welfare.
The new head of the group is Ni Luh. Ni Luh has two children. The first child is in junior high school and the second is a toddler. Ni Luh is the wife of a government official in her village.

Additional Information
About Koperasi Mitra Usaha Kecil (MUK)This loan is serviced by Koperasi Mitra Usaha Kecil (MUK), a microfinance cooperative headquartered in West Bali, Indonesia. MUK's mission is to provide chronically poor people in Bali with opportunities to improve their lives, while raising social awareness of economic and environmental issues.
Most MUK clients live in rural settings on less than $1.25 per day. MUK's financial products are targeted to clients' productive activities including small businesses, farming, and livestock rearing. MUK supports clients with training in household budgeting, livestock rearing, and small business management.
MUK provides services to clients of all races and religions. For more information about MUK, please visit its partner page. Also, consider joining MUK's Kiva lending team, Friends of Mitra Usaha Kecil.
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

ok heres my situation, i have a 2002 Kona Hahanna that my dad found in the forest one day, it had been sitting there for a few weeks from the looks of it. Reported it in to the cops, nobody claimed so its my bike. 8 months later i finally go down a good community type path through woods and everything, it paved with stones and now im loving it, did a good 5 hours of riding today and i wanna run some real dirt type trails, like single trails i think they are called. From the looks of it my bike may or may not be up to the challenge as i probly am classified as i beginner.
So im 16 years old, part time job, so i got some money and i wanna know. Should i upgrade parts on this Kona or go shopping for a new bike next year when ill have a decent sum of money saved up. I went shopping today and the shop guy told me id be better off with a new bike, for $900 get a complete alluminum frame better shocks, Judy TT i have Judy S. I thought about that and asked for prices on shocks, Judy TT cost me about $270 CND, Duke about $500. Then id probly wanna upgrade my alivio/acera deralliuers, new bar for comfort reasons (riser). So im saying im spending a good $1000 either way but im thinkin im gettin more from buying compenents rather than buy a new bike.
My logic is for $1000 in canadain funds, i get a bike with either good shocks but not too shabby drivetrain, or good overall but not great, great drivetrain with cheapo fork. So i invest $1000 into my Kona and have a nice custom set up with all around good stuff. Does my logic sound right? Feel free to tear up my ideas, im here to learn.

International Trade, Factor Movements, and the Environment
By Michael Rauscher
International Trade, Factor Movements, and the Environment
By Michael Rauscher
This is a theoretical study of the relationship between international trade policies and environment policy, which has become a major theme in international policy disputes. Rauscher investigates whether free trade and globalizing markets are bad for the environment, or whether environmental policies can be used to improve international competitiveness. He also examines the political use of lax environmental regulation to help domestic producers.

Consider Yourselves Warned
Absent a McCain Presidency, your taxes will be raised: Who actually feels better about having their hard-earned money go directly to the people responsible for the current financial crisis?
Absent a McCain Presidency, your taxes will be raised: Who actually feels better about having their hard-earned money go directly to the people responsible for the current financial crisis?
Don't raise them. And yes, I hope that policymakers are listening, though I wonder how many of them are.
Clive Crook is puzzled that John McCain and his campaign have not properly positioned themselves in the argument concerning tax policy. In pointing out the McCain campaign's many communications errors concerning this issue, Crook takes the time to illustrate the fact that McCain's tax policies are much better for Americans than are Obama's: Here is a fact you might not have noticed. It certainly seems | Read More »

Get ready for this narrative to be replayed all over again in an Obama Administration: "It's like déjà vu all over again."

Mr. McCain could do worse than remind the middle class what happened to them the last time a charismatic Democratic candidate promised them a tax | Read More »
Yes indeedy–you read that right. The Obama campaign responded by attacking the DNC delegates for hewing so closely to the discredited economic beliefs of the Bush-Cheney-McCain Administration. "This isn't change," remarked David Plouffe. "This is more of the same!"* *I made this paragraph up. But admit it: It's plausible.
It's not reality-based: If you're a senior citizen and earn less than $50,000 a year, Barack Obama has a deal for you: a life free of federal income tax. Sounds appealing, right? Maybe to many seniors. But tax policy experts in Washington are giving it bad reviews. They see it as another subsidy for senior citizens, who already get federal help through Social Security and | Read More »
Explained by Dan Mitchell and well worth watching:
Yeah, that will work: Washington is teeing up "the rich" for a big tax hike next year, as a way to make them "pay their fair share." Well, the latest IRS data have arrived on who paid what share of income taxes in 2006, and it's going to be hard for the rich to pay any more than they already do. The data show that | Read More »
If you are a New Yorker and pay taxes, you had better hope that John McCain wins the next election.

"This went perfectly with the invitation card. I was able to personalize it with the tennis theme by adding, "The Ball is in Your Court... Everyone loves. it."
"This card is simple, yet beautiful. The quality of the paper is excellent. The customer service is commended- the gentleman who assisted me spent over an hour with me on the telephone. I would highly recommend Tiny Prints."

I am an evolutionary ecologist with interest and training in biogeography, biodiversity, conservation biology, evolutionary ecology, and physiology. While my research is not taxonomically limited, I most often find myself working with reptiles, amphibians, and arthropods in both aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. Current projects in my lab integrate field ecology, physiology, laboratory trials, and GIS technology to investigate broad-scale evolutionary and ecological questions.
There are very few groups of organisms that I find as interesting as skinks, probably because I spent much of my childhood chasing them around my parents' house in SE Texas. They always seem to end up as subjects in my research....

Ladies we know you like to dress to the nines and be all dolled up for a night out in Las Vegas but all of that can be thrown away in a few seconds if you take your heels off and start prancing around barefoot. Yes, you know who were talking about.
One, it's disgusting.
Two, have you thought about what you are a walking on as you stroll barefoot through a nightclub, casino or on concrete (yuck)?
And three, you get black feet which is one of the most unattractive looks.
We also know you don't carry massive purses with you to nightclubs and the less is more factor weighs heavily so thankfully there is a solution for you with Sweet Sexy Feet. Think of a stylish flat that is sexy, classy, and comfortable and can be folded to fit into any small purse. And when it's time to put on your Sexy Sweet Feet, throw your stiletto's in a provided tote bag so you're not being looked at as the one with heels off and shoes in hand.
The stylish flats, available in three colors (to go with every outfit of course) are extremely affordable and can be purchased in Las Vegas inside the Hard Rock Hotel. For those looking to have their flats shipped directly to them, order straight from the website where you can also order gift baskets for bridal and bachelorette parties!

Course DescriptionConflict Resolution: In the Workplace and Beyond
In this self-paced course you will learn how you can avoid conflict from developing, and methods you can use to resolve conflicts that are occurring and affecting your workplace.
Differences of opinion.
Personal attack.
They make great TV but a terrible work environment.
Enroll today and learn how to put a stop to it now.
Conflict - in a business setting - is expensive, counter-productive, time consuming, and labor intensive.
In this e-course we will look at workplace conflict and explore ways that you can help to resolve it.
Conflict can arise over the slightest thing in a business setting and can escalate into a major confrontation between several factions. Although nations, businesses, churches, and families all participate (and succumb) to conflict, we will primarily focus on the conflict that can occur between parties in a business setting. Specifically, we will be looking at conflict that happens within a company.
Enroll today and learn how to put a stop to workplace conflict now!

Problem Solving Lessons
Lesson 1: Types of Conflict - Conflict in the WorkplaceThis lesson will analyze conflict- what it is and why it occurs so often in the workplace.In addition, it will explore the types of conflict that occur in the workplace and how to deal with them.
Lesson 2: Workplace Conflict/Consequences of ConflictThe consequences, both financial and personal, of conflicts will be evaluated. Personal costs, workplace costs, and legal costs are studied.
Lesson 3: How to Resolve Conflicts in the WorkplaceThis lesson will review the basic structure (the eight steps) needed to establish a conflict resolution.
Lesson 4: Workplace Conflict/What To Do When Resolution Doesn't WorkThis lesson will provide some tips on what to do when the resolution doesn't work.
Lesson 5: Workplace Conflict/Using Positive CommunicationThis lesson will tell you how to prevent conflicts from developing altogether, by practicing some positive communication techniques.
Lesson 6: The Nature of Conflict--How and Why People ConflictA conflict with a spouse, partner, boyfriend or girlfriend, parent, child, sibling, good friend, or a new friend will cost us much more emotionally in the long run if it goes unresolved, than those we have with random strangers.
Lesson 7: Personal Conflict/How To Resolve the Seven Most Common Forms Of Personal ConflictIn this lesson, you will be given clear solutions to the conflict examples given in Lesson 6. These solutions can be applied to similar types of conflicts that may occur in your life.
Lesson 8: Personal Conflict/Using Problem-Solving Techniques To Find Inventive Ways Of Resolving ConflictIn this lesson, you will learn some basic problem-solving techniques that work very well with personal conflict resolution. You will be provided with clear examples of conflicts, and several inventive ways in which to resolve them.
Lesson 9: Personal Conflict/How to Mediate Conflict Between OthersThis lesson will deal solely with being a mediator, that is to say, someone who is good at resolving personal conflict between others.
Lesson 10: Personal Conflict/What to do if the Opposing Party Refuses to Participate in ResolutionMost conflicts between family and friends can be resolved with a little effort, as has been shown in this course; however, there are some instances when the other party refuses to allow a resolution.

Student Testimonials
- "My first class on Universal Class though hardly my first course Online (lifetime learner, here). I really enjoyed it. The instructor set it up very nicely and was quicker than any instructor I have ever had with evaluation and feedback; which is why most of us are here. Anybody can study independently, but you do not get evaluated or graded which is what makes you work harder and strive for perfection. No secret there. Can't have a drill team without a drill sergeant. A+ for CR 101 with Instructor Matt Coburn Great Job!!!!!!!!!!!! Great Site!!!!!!!!!!! I cannot wait for my next class" -- Stewart D.
- "I thought the descriptions of different types of conflict were very helpful. I also enjoyed the lesson that gave resolutions to the conflicts....The instructor was very nice, and was quick to grade my work. I appreciated his input." -- Ericka M.

Pedregal Group
The group has 10 members who make a living raising livestock and farming. They buy and sell cattle and smaller animals and keep birds. They buy young animals, then fatten and breed them so that they can sell what the animals produce for a higher return. They also work at farming, spending more or less time at it depending on the time of year. They still work the land in the traditional way, planting maize, various kinds of potatoes, green vegetables, barley, wheat and other products. They need the loan so that they can buy cattle and some smaller animals, along with seeds to sow their fields.
Our members are very grateful for the help that the receive and are committed to repaying the loan within the agreed-upon time.
Estos socios son un grupo de 10 miembros, alternando sus diferentes actividades y dedicados principalmente a la agricultura y a la ganadería, ellos compran y venden todo tipo de ganados vacunos y animales menores, aves de corral, ellos los compran muy tiernos y los hacen engordar y reproducir, de este modo ellos pueden vender sus derivados y vender la producción a mayor precio, por otro lado y dependiendo a los meses, ellos siguen dedicados a la agricultura, trabajan aún en forma arcaica las tierras, sembrando, maíz, diferentes variedades de papa, verduras, cebada, trigo y otros productos; para lo cuál ellos requieren el préstamo para poder comprar ganados y algunos animales menores, también unas semillas para la siembra de sus tierras.

Additional Information
Important InformationAbout Asociación Arariwa
Asociación Arariwa is a large non-governmental organization that started offering microcredit in 1994 to improve the quality of life, skills and equity of the population in the rural Cusco region of Peru. Arariwa serves the southern Andean provinces of Peru, and is distinguished by its efforts to reach the very poor, who often live in isolated rural areas. Arariwa fosters village banking, supports savings accounts, promotes access to education, and empowers women entrepreneurs (who make up 78% of its borrowers).
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Kind of an odd thing to happen is when 2 songs off the same album become fused with each other.There's 2 different types,the first is more like an intro to a song.Some examples are "Foreplay" and "Long Time" by Boston as well as "Eruption" and "You really got me" by Van Halen.
The second type are 2 completely seperate,full length songs like "Waiting for the bus" and "Jesus just left Chicago" by ZZ Top or "Heartbreaker" and "Living, Loving Maid" by the mighty Led Zeppelin.
When these songs are played on the radio,99.9% of the time they're played together.What are some other "2 for 1" songs?

Friend Friday 101: How to Get Started
Y'all know I've been participating in the Friend Friday project by Modly Chic for a loooong time now. Friend Friday—actually, it's Fashion Beauty Friend Friday—is a weekly series that allows participating bloggers to share more about themselves (and create a friendly connection with others) by posting answers to a set list of questions related to beauty, fashion, and blogging.
Recently, the lovely Jessica of Enchanted Vintage (had to include the shot of her below…I'm smitten…isn't she gorge?) asked how it all works, if I have ever covered it here on G&G. It's something I've been asked before, but this time I thought, OK, this is another how-to post waiting to happen! And clearly, the tech writer in me is dying to get out on occasion. That, or I'm a sucker for self-torture.
Anyway, for those who have always wondered how it works, here you go.
How to Participate in Fashion Beauty Friend Friday
- Join the Fashion Beauty Friend Friday Google Group.
- After you've been given access, log in and look for the current week's questions pinned to the top of the list.
Questions are posted by Wednesday of the same week, and occasionally they are posted a few weeks in advance.
- Click on the link to the questions. If there are multiple replies visible when you open the link, remember that the first link from Katy is the one with the questions.
- In a new browser window or tab, create a post on your blog.
- Copy the questions from the Google Group post and paste to the editor in your blog.
- Complete your post, making sure that you include a link back to Modly Chic, and schedule for publication on Friday.
- On Friday, go to Modly Chic and look for the Katy's Friend Friday post on the home page. Scroll down to the Mister Linky's Magical Widget's module at the end of the post. Add your blog name and your Friend Friday post URL, then click Enter.
- Leave a comment on the current Modly Chic Friend Friday post, then check out some others and leave comments there as well!
Fashion Beauty Friend Friday Tips & Tricks
So you've joined. This is my personal approach to maximizing my participation in Friend Friday, while also making it my own.
- Make questions bold, or format them as subheadings to make them stand out from your answers. My questions aren't numbered, but some people do include the numbers. It's totally up to you.
- Rearrange questions if you feel they flow better on the page in a different order.
- Add at least one relevant image to bring visual interest to your post. If the image isn't yours, be sure to name the source and link to it.
- U.S. participants, schedule your post for 12:01 am Friday, Eastern Time. My readers are all over the world, and yours probably are too, so Friday comes earlier for some (hello, Australia!). Give your overseas readers the opportunity to catch your post on their Friday morning.
- Schedule a tweet about your post. Be sure to use the #FBFF hashtag.
- Share other #FBFF posts on Twitter that resonated with you. With the hashtag, of course.
PS: Once you join the Fashion Beauty Friend Friday Google Group, you'll probably notice that it is a great resource for more than just the weekly questions. In fact, it has become quite the blogger support group! Topics related to blogging, tech questions, and more are often posted, and the group is quite helpful.

Curious, V. How many males participate in FBFF?

I've been participating for a couple of weeks now and the group really is such a great resource! Katy has done a great job with it.
Katie's latest post: What Im Loving
well i've been doing FBFF since august, so i didn't really need the how-to, but it WAS interesting to see your process. i'd never even thought about scheduling the post for midnight. it's so brilliant! i think i'm definitely going to start doing that from now on.
Cate's latest post: Photo of the Day- Move On Me
You are alway so helpful and fantastic my dear Vhani.
Mil besos siempre.
Very clear how to!
Though: post at 12.01 if you are in the US only! if I (in the UK) posted at midnight, it's still Thursday night in the US! and that would really confuse everyone!

Thanks a mill Vahni for the how to and the mention!! Logged onto my hotmail, opened up the Grit and Glamour email and saw… my face. Got a bit of a shock. A nice one though…x
I've just emailed to join, Vahni. Thanks for sharing with us. Hope to see you on the Friday link-up.
V, you are the best. Always providing everyone with such fantastic information. I love FBFF, and I'm so glad I joined it way back in December (I believe). Love to you, lady!

You're always so on top of what your readers are after and you deliver every time. I always look forwrad to reading your Friend Friday posts. The topics are always so relevant to what's going on in the blogosphere. xoxo
brookemeagan's latest post: A house is not a home without you
This is so well-written and incredibly helpful. I love to read Friend Friday posts but I don't think I can participate because even with these clear-as-a-bell instructions the whole thing sounds overwhelming and makes me want to take a nap.I think it's because I can barely keep up with two kids and blogging twice a week. I will just enjoy everybody else's Friend Fridays!

Oooh Just signed up. So excited!!
Okay, just applied for membership. Thanks for this, V! I actually took part once before, not realizing there was a Google group. I think I just snatched the questions from Katy's post. Ha! I'm always excited for Fridays to read everyone's answers so we'll see if I can come up with some interesting ones myself.
Thanks V, I was really curious about this. Not quite curious enough to get off my lazy caboose and do my own investigating but as usual you've given me just the boot in the booty I needed!

Great guide! I would have loved to have this a few months ago when I was just joining FBFF. I was a little bit scared I was out of my league, and I also had the hardest time finding the questions that first time. Then I realized it was right at the top and pretty obvious. I'm just a little slow!

Note: we only give a property a rating once it has received a minimum of 3 reviews.
- Page:1/1
- " It was nice, everything, except for the fact that there is not provate bathrooms, at least in my room. "
- 21 Dec 2015 Rodrigo Alonso
- " This hostel was ok. The window on our dorm was broken so anyone could reach in and open the door from the inside. This was a bit unsettling. The location wasn't ideal, I didn't feel like i was in a very safe part of town. The staff were kind and helpful, breakfast was good and the bar was good in the evening. "
- 18 Aug 2015 Heidi Australia
- " The staff was kind and helpful, and I always felt safe while I was there. There were no lockers in the room but you could store your luggage in a locker on the bottom floor, which was extremely inconvenient. Other than that, I had an overall positive experience and would highly recommend staying there. "
- 31 Jul 2015 Alesha USA
- " The showers are bad. The bar is good. "
- 27 Jul 2015 Jakob Denmark
- " The wifi wasn't very good, and there was no hand soap. Also, the showers made you hold down the button, it was warm though. The staff was okay but not really friendly. The location was a bit hard to find and it was a bit far from the square. However there were sound stairs and I got some friendly roommates. There weren't enough outlets for everyone though and the commons didn't have that many either. Overall I give it just average. "
- 26 Jun 2015 Anonymous USA
- " I loved this hostel! Everything is set to make new friends easily : The breakfast place, the bar, the kitchen, the solarium, the garden! Thumbs up to Benoit the barman and to Maurice « de l'île Maurice » who was obsessed with La Chouffe beer! I wasn't too impressed by the receptionist who took half an hour to check me in and by the receptionist who was really strict with the peope partying late at night thought. "
- 21 Jun 2015 Anonymous Canada
- " Never met more helpful and nicer people in my entire life. People that work at the reception are wonderful! I really enjoyed staying there. If I ever travel to Brussels again I'll definitely choose this place :) "

- " Great stay, loved the room, common room, good breakfast, just wished the showers were a little warmer "

Jose Luis

Loan Overview
Repayment Schedule
Loan Updates
Jose Luis is 41 years old. He has a significant other, and has two children.
For the last 20 years, Jose Luis has been working as a day-laborer, a trade he learned from his father. He lives on the farm where he works, and has one day off a week to go visit his family.
Jose Luis grows corn for his family's consumption, and travels for half an hour to a nearby city to purchase his farming supplies. Jose Luis plants 7,000 square meters of corn, and has asked for a loan from Fundación Campo for the purchase of supplies for his farming. In addition to these supplies, Jose Luis wants to buy some pigs to fatten and sell. With the planting, Jose Luis will ensure that he has corn throughout the year for his family's consumption. The pigs will provide him with an additional source of income to his salary as a day-laborer.
In the future, Jose Luis would like to have a pig-raising business. His boss is giving him the opportunity to keep the pigs in his farm, so that Jose Luis can do well.
In the future, Jose Luis would also like to own his own home.

Hong Kong stocks rose 0.75 percent Wednesday following another record close for the Dow on Wall Street and despite data showing China had recorded a rare trade deficit in March.
The benchmark Hang Seng Index climbed 164.22 points to end at 22,034.56 on turnover of HK$59.34 billion ($7.66 billion).
China's customs agency said Wednesday exports climbed a below forecast 10.0 percent last month, and imports jumped a bigger-than-expected 14.1 percent, while the country saw a trade deficit of $880 million. Economists had tipped a surplus of $14.7 billion.
A day earlier officials said inflation had come in below estimates, which analysts said indicates ongoing weakness in the world's number two economy, still struggling to recover from slower growth last year.
Haitong International analyst Yifan Hu said the latest figures showed more volatility in indicators, adding it was likely to continue to remain relatively volatile in the months ahead, with an overall trend of gradual improvement.
Some chips benefited from bargain buying after recent losses. China Life, the country's largest life insurer, jumped 4.2 percent to HK$20.95, while conglomerate Hutchison Whampoa surged 4.2 percent to HK$82.00.
Hutchison's parent Cheung Kong closed up 1.7 percent at HK$114.00.
Henderson Land, Hong Kong's third largest property developer by market capitalisation, closed up 1.1 percent at HK$53.70.
Chinese shares ended flat. The benchmark Shanghai Composite Index rose 0.02 percent, or 0.35 points, to 2,226.13 on turnover of 71.1 billion yuan ($11.5 billion).
"A slew of other economic data have yet to be released, so investors may want to stay on the sidelines for those cues to have a better gauge of the health of China's economy," Shenyin Wanguo Securities analyst Li Xiaoxuan told Dow Jones Newswires.
The government will next week announce other economic indicators, including gross domestic product for the first quarter.
Concerns over a bird flu outbreak in China saw Merro Pharmaceutical gain 3.97 percent to 7.34 yuan while Shandong Lukang Pharmaceutical climbed 1.64 percent to 5.57 yuan.
Brokerages fell on profit-taking, with China Merchants Securities losing 2.93 percent to 11.92 yuan and Sinolink Securities dropping 2.05 percent to 14.84 yuan.
Liquor makers were up. Shanxi Xinghuacun Fen Wine Factory jumped 6.95 percent to 31.71 yuan while Kweichow Moutai gained 3.89 percent to 169.96 yuan.

I know there are people that ride every day- know that there are people that do one hard ride a week and people that never feel any effects in the body from any riding they do and never do any form of gentle exercise to work out the stresses and strains of the riding they are doing- BUT I am not one of those people.
I rarely ride on two consecutive days but do a recovery ride the next day after an exerting ride. Those that do the hard rides- or start to feel aches after a lesser one- are always telling us that a recovery ride where you cut the mileage- cut the effort and spin the legs a bit faster will get the body fit and raring to go for that next ride and assist in healing the body from the exertion you have just put it through. But how true is this?
I am not one for the scientific facts that are available as there will always be two contradictory versions-for and against. I rely on my own facts but also have to say that I do not have any conclusive evidence- for or against. Or never used to. Most of my riding at present is down the gym and I am putting in harder effort on the spinning bikes than I ever do on the bike but it is only for an hour at a time as opposed to the longer times out on the road. My stats at the gym have just started to get to something respectable and that has taken some training and some pushing the brain to allow me to work harder.Thursday and I had the best session I have ever had on stats and I was doing another session on Friday night. Friday night and although I was pushing and did well- there was something not right. Started as a bit of butt ache but it never developed. Still pulled the cadence and the high pressures I had got up to and by the end of the session I was shattered. Perhaps a bit more than usual but not much. Got off the bike and the legs ached a bit- did the stretching exercises afterwards and walked to the car. By the time I had got to the car I could barely walk. Got home and struggled up the stairs for a bath and I was in pain. The back of the thighs and I was beginning to think I had done some damage. Voltarol helped and I had a restless nights sleep and in the morning I could walk but with pain. There was no way I was getting on a bike to recover but plenty of walking round the garden and things eased off a bit.
Sunday morning and spinning again but I still had some stiffness in the thighs. So a recovery spinning ride. Cut out the high cadence- cut the high pressure and for an hour I sweated without feeling any strain on the legs or any part of me. Still got the stats reasonable or at least at a level I was at two weeks ago so it was a bit more than turning the legs. Stretching exercises after wards and had some stiffness in the thighs but no pain at all. Couple of hours later and I realised that not only were my legs in good shape- I did not have any lower back pain- and the resting of the eyelids that afternoon was not going to be necessary.
It is not often I push myself to the extent that I overextend myself- in fact the last time I did that was when I did the Marines physical induction over 45 years ago- but Friday night and I pushed myself too hard. Perhaps it was the two days consecutive that I rarely do that caused the problem. No recovery to ease out any problems that I may be having but I am now convinced that those recovery rides work.
So any of you that feel sore and stiff after the rides you do-Start thinking about recovering. A recovery ride in the accepted sense is a ride the next day with only a few miles necessary- far less speed- far less effort and the legs spinning a bit faster than you normally do. If you start to feel out of breath or feel you are pushing too hard then you are. It is a gentle ride to get the muscles working and moving to work the aches out of them.
Works for me.

Ballas Hearing & Audiology
More information
About this clinic
In 1998, Dr. Lew founded Ballas Hearing and Audiology for one simple reason - because she felt strongly that each and every patient seeking assistance should be accorded proper care. The healthcare industry has changed dramatically during the past 10-15 years and under the existing system, Dr. Lew felt she could no longer give her patients the necessary time or assistance she knew they needed from her 35 years of experience.
One doesn't just purchase hearing healthcare as a product - it is much more than that. It is a relationship, a two-way partnership - and as such, requires time, listening, understanding, knowledge, accessibility and caring. Dr. Lew believes listening and understanding are the basis of all solid, caring relationships from the time a baby is born and until the very end of life. Dr. Lew combines her commitment to patients with the latest technology to resolve each patient's unique communication challenge. After all, if there is no commitment to the patient, then there is only a product. Simply buying a product cannot fulfill these important human needs. Our mission is clear - we listen so you can hear.

Re: Need Advice re: Recaros
Make sure (if you swap out with someone) that they have full leather. Some cars have alcantara patches in the seat area. Mine, for example, are full leather from the factory.

Mine are 2012 base seats that came in my V Wagon.

You can try car-part.com. Retrofitting to Recaros might be a problem, as it's been discussed before that they are heated AND cooled. I don't know about the newer standard seats, but before they were not cooled as I know.

Re: Need Advice re: Recaros
Regular CTS seats are all leather, no suede.
I find it interesting that the seats in these cars is the most polarizing part of the vehicle, people either love 'em or hate 'em. Personally I think the stock ones are kinda too flat and the Recaros are too racey for everyday use. I've only had "Ass time" in each from shopping around for a V though, I don't have any long road trip time in either other than a loaner regular CTS for a few days. To be honest though, the best combination of both seats were the ones that my STS-V had. Enough support and adjustment with suede inserts, not too hard, not too flat. I wonder what they will offer for seating in the V3.

I find the Recaros to be very comfortable. The kind of comfort like laying down on a firm mattress after a long work day.

I find my Recaros to be VERY comfortable now that ( thanks to this forum) I finally discovered after one year of ownership that there is an extension you can open up to lengthen the seat and gain more support under your thighs.....
Re: Need Advice re: Recaros
Re: Need Advice re: Recaros
I did a 4000 mile cross-country round trip in my V wagon with Recaros three weeks ago and I had no issues whether I was in the seat for 15 hours or 3 hours.
Jdani, base V seats are plentiful on eBay. Recaros are not and someone will give you top dollar for yours. I know this because I owned an 09 V with base seats. I tried for three years to find Recaros with limits success, and mostly found base seats.
Re: Need Advice re: Recaros
Hi All,
Glad to hear you are all loving your Recaro seats. They are a very comfortable seat for long distances and I hope you are all enjoying their comfort and your Cadillac V's

Re: Need Advice re: Recaros
OP - I still think you need to play with the seats a bit longer. There is no question the Recaro are a firm, hugging seat, but there are many ways to either "sink" yourself deeper into the seat, or tone down the security of the bolsters.
I spent a week with premium non-recaro seats, and they were comfortable too. It was in a sedan, and the combination was easier to get in and out of the car compared to my coupe with recs. They definately are softer on your butt, but they just feel like any old seat in a luxery car. Nothing special, and nothing that screams racing, and can actually enhance that experience like the Recaro. But then again, even if the seats sucked id keep them because they look so hot!
Maybe you just need to get a memory foam seat pad for your butt, and work on your abs :P
