Genworth Financial Inc. (GNW) recorded an 85% jump in second-quarter earnings as the company's mortgage insurance business continued to contribute positively.
Per the WSJ:
The company's U.S. mortgage insurance unit returned to profitability in the first quarter, after five years in the red. Genworth had faced persistent investor skepticism over the unit, which had lost about $2 billion since the start of 2008. But the company's executives resisted calls to unload the business, insisting that its returns on policies sold in recent years would outweigh costs from coverage sold before the housing crisis.
In the latest period, the company's U.S. mortgage insurance business reported an operating profit of $13 million, compared with a year-earlier operating loss of $25 million.

Former One Green Bean CEO Carl Ratcliff Resurfaces At DDB Sydney
DDB Australia has announced the appointment of former One Green Bean CEO Carl Ratcliff as chief strategy officer of DDB Sydney.
Ratcliff's appointment comes just over two weeks after it was announced that Claire Salvetti would replace him as CEO of One Green Bean.
Ratcliff has more than 20 years' experience in the world of building brands both in Australia and the UK, and has run agencies in Sydney and Melbourne.
DDB Sydney managing director Priya Patel said: "We're thrilled to have Carl join DDB. Not only is he a brilliant and creative thinker – a classic 'big brain' – but he manages to couple this with humility, friendliness and charm."
"We know Carl's going to be a great fit for the agency as we continue to build famous and effective ideas for our client partners."
Commenting on his appointment, Ratcliff said: "I see my CV as a collection of experiences all of which have made me who I am now.
"I certainly don't regret being a CEO, as it taught me a lot, including making me a lot more commercially-minded. However, I want to affect the primary conversations that are happening around businesses and brands.
"Whether on client side or agency side, I've always been a strategist at heart. Having run a P&L for the last six years, I've experienced all the stresses that come with that, and realised that my true joy lies in strategy, brands and audiences, solving problems, and working with creative brains and minds.
"I'm delighted to be joining DDB Sydney for many reasons, but one is that to me DDB is the original home of great strategy. It feels like a gift being able to come back to strategy with such a renowned agency, and I can't wait to get stuck into making amazing work with the team."

Prom 2016 and the Renaissance
by wildbynature2013
a monthly post
This site is dedicated to helping us reset our Zero Carbon Footprint
Young women from pre-teens to 20-somethings, worldwide seem to be experiencing a renaissance not seen since the 1940's. Before that, it was fighting for and winning the women's vote in California 1907, nationwide 1920.
Today, everywhere I look, I see young women stepping up, standing in the face of all odds, speaking out and challenging the dominant powers! Young women of color are leading the way:
1. Malala of Pakistan who was shot in the head for fighting for women's education, yet she continues her battle that she started at age 12 or 13.
2. The gang rape and fatal assault on 23-year-old female psysiotherap intern, Jyoti Singh in 2012 that inspired a political movement in India for crimes against women.
3. Native American women are standing up and joining forces, celebrating native power, see them on flicker Indigenous Empowerment and follow them on Instagram.
4. Transgenders claiming their fair share of fine arts, Instagram #arthoe started by Mars, the genderfluid 15-year-old co-founder of the movement.
5. Although young women are not graduating at the same rate, they are nonetheless entering college 2 females to every 1 male! cut and paste (http://www.nber.org/digest/jan07/w12139.html) and (https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/education/the-gender-factor-in-college-admissions/2014/03/26/4996e988-b4e6-11e3-8020-b2d790b3c9e1_story.html)

7. And the greatest example of all, my neighbor Alana. She is 10 years old and always tries to share the beauty around her. Her most recent gift is her homemade lemonade. I hope you can read the label.
Delicious Homemade Organic Lemonade!
homegrown organic lemon juice, organic sugar, mountain spring water,
and happiness
…and Happiness!! The magic ingredient!!
What has this got to do with Prom 2016? It is a mindset, a movement, a social evolution that needs to be celebrated! Wearing secondhand at the prom is a statement, regardless of why you wear it.
Mira Mesa High School Prom 2016
Cash awards for the best dressed graduating seniors at the 2016 Mira Mesa High School Prom will NOT be an option this year because Vice Principal Virginia Sturgeon last year had a meltdown that is not tolerable to an invited guest (Wild By Nature) who is giving away free money ($500, $500, $250, and $100).
Cinderella's Attic encompasses everything that WILD BY NATURE strives to inspire: environmental consciousness and social justice. Cinderella's Attic's raison d'être is to provide high school girls with free formal wear for their prom and other special events. "Our mission is to build confidence and self-esteem in young women by providing free formal dresses and accessories…."
Not only does this fulfill all of our parameters of secondhand clothing for environmental reasons (factory toxins, fabric pollutants, dumping, shipping, etc.), it also fills a socio-economic gap. Because of their great contribution to the greater San Diego Community, Wild By Nature has awarded them $1000 cash to support their thoughtful, artistic approach to Fashion for the New Millennium.
Congratulations to Cinderella's Attic!!

I will be on Fox & Friends tomorrow morning at 7.00. Ebola and ISIS will be topics.
I'm not really sure what The Donald's level of expertise is on the topic of Ebola or ISIS, but he reeeeeaaaallly likes criticizing the president, so, I dunno. I guess he will be doing that thing. Since he was the guy who suggested just letting ebola-stricken Americans die, I'm sure whatever he's planning on saying will be most illuminating.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 13, 2014
But now that there has been a second person in Dallas diagnosed with this disease, it might not be a bad idea to look rationally at what has happened. For one thing, as I've mentioned before in the comments, the decision by ER staff at Texas Health Presbyterian to let Duncan go with just a prescription for antibiotics when his fever had spiked to 103 F strikes me as shocking. That's a dangerous fever--a person's kidneys could shut down! A person could experience seizures! I'm not sure why they turned him out for sure--but I suspect to some degree they weren't trained to look twice at what should have been a major warning sign that this guy needed immediate isolation and observation. The infection of the health care worker who tended to him appears to be due to a breach of protocol, and it seems like there is some question about whether this particular facility was equipped to handle this kind of case. (I think it bears thinking about that a health care worker became infected--but as yet, not a single one of his family in isolation show signs of the disease.)
It seems to me that valid commentary is more likely to come from people with some medical background, and probably not from partisan nutters. I mean, when someone like Phyllis Schlafly emerges from her crypt to allege that Obama wants people to get ebola to sort of even things out, I wonder what the value is in that. Is it supposed to be seen as clever political commentary that a president wants an outbreak of a killer disease on his watch, as if that's so great for the old legacy? (But she's mighty well-preserved, isn't she? Holding up her bitter end even if she makes no sense? She's like a particularly chewy bit of hate jerky.) When recently convicted felon Dinesh D'Souza tweets: "Which is worse: EBOLA, the disease; or OBOLA, the dream from his father?(with illustration)", one can really only cringe. This is a Dartmouth grad, making a "foreign name so funny" joke only a ten-year old could love.
The CDC has had massively decreased funding since about 2003 (they've been working on an ebola vaccine since 2001) and the country is doing without a surgeon general because President Obama's pick has the radical opinion that taking bullets is bad for people's health. It would really be neat if our media focused on things that help, rather than the opinions of people who really have no apparent interest in being helpful.

MissWrite was founded in December 2012 as a non-profit organisation committed to teaching and to empowering young South African women. The purpose is to organise and train writer volunteers to run creative writing workshops in non-profit organisations and schools. Our aim is to help young women writers develop the creativity, critical thinking skills, and most of all the confidence that they need to thrive at school, at home, in their communities and beyond.
MissWrite has had an extremely successful partnership with the Etafeni Day Care Centre in Nyanga, Cape Town where we have been running our programme since 2013. In order for MissWrite to work it is essential that we work in collaboration with non-profits and schools.
Despite the success of our programme, it is clear that these young women have tremendous and ongoing challenges to overcome. The poverty in their communities is extreme and often seemingly insurmountable. But much more concerning is the level of violence that these young women are exposed to as a daily part of their lives. Nyanga in Cape Town, where we have run most of our MissWrite programmes, has been officially awarded the status as the "murder capital" of South Africa for its high annual murder rate. It is evident from the interaction with these girls that they have become desensitised to this brutal violence and the depreciation of the value of human life. Awareness of these issues cannot be underestimated because it is essential to understand the context in which MissWrite operates and the importance of running the programme in a community such as Nyanga and other disadvantaged communities in South Africa.
For more information on MissWrite, please see our website or find us on Facebook or Instagram.
How can you get involved?
MissWrite hosts outings and events throughout the year where we invite the public to join us. We post details of our events on social media.
MissWrite is also looking for some volunteer hands-on support:
- The MissWrite programme can be run as a franchise. We have seen its successful expansion into Johannesburg by a MissWrite volunteer in partnership with the Olico Youth Foundation. There are many other non-profits and schools throughout South Africa and beyond that would love to host our programme but we need committed people who are prepared to volunteer. You don't need to be an English teacher to run a MissWrite programme but you do need to be self-starter who is prepared to take the programme and run with it.
- Fundraising champions. We would love people who are able to become a MissWrite fundraising champion. Like many non-profit organisations we depend on donations in order to run but because MissWrite is a part-time charity run by volunteers who are gainfully employed in other areas we would love some help in our fundraising efforts.
- Event Organisers. If organizing a once-off event is more your thing we are always looking for help to plan and co-ordinate our outings that we host throughout the year.

Whitley and Billingham served up a cracker of a Tyne-Tees derby at Hillheads last night, with the result in doubt right to the final whistle as the visitors played without a netminder in the closing 30 seconds in an attempt to draw level.
After playing off a minor penalty against Bryan Dunn after only 15 seconds, the Warriors began to take a grip on the game and went ahead in the sixth minute.
Whitley had plenty of possession and used it well to create a space for Ben Campbell, the 17-year-old forward making no mistake from six yards out.
However, despite creating the better chances in the opening 20 minutes, the home side were unable to add to their tally.
And they paid the price in the opening minute of the middle period, Martin Lewis cracking the puck home with just 46 seconds on the clock.
Paul Graham scored what proved to be the winning goal when he shot through a crowded goalmouth at 44.43 to maintain the Warriors' unbeaten start to the season.
Whitley warriors: Campbell 1+1, Graham 1+0, Lundin, Robinson, Ri Dunn 0+1.
BILLINGHAM BOMBERS: Lewis 1+0, Payne 0+1.

It was surprisingly normal outside. I expected it to look fiery and red, but it was full of greenery and had a beautiful sky. An idea popped into my head"System who owned this body before me?"
[Previous owner of body was a demon named Jonah Arc, would you like his memories? Y/N]
[Integrating… Complete]
I recoiled, expecting pain but all I got was a bunch of info being crammed into my head, so I started to sift through it.
"Damn". Turn out that this dude had a bad life. He was orphaned at birth and was commonly raped by people in his sect because of his three list-filled bloodlines, Incubus, faceless, and Devilchild. Now that I looked at myself, the new me was packin'. I had 8-pack abs, a long *Cough* phallus*cough*, and muscles girls would drool over."I guess this is the side effects of three lustful races, a body to charm the opposite one"
I walked through a valley which had many sheds akin to my own, and spotted several other demonic species, ranging from low level demons to succubi. I released my wings and tail and started attempting to fly, and after a few flaps, I was off, going to where my memories told me the sect training ground was.
The sect was a sect in the demonic realm called the Demon Tree sect, in honor of the Giant tree that supports the sect.
Another price of information I pulled out was that after a demon's bloodline was awakened or they reached a certain level, they could become at outer disciple, and live on one of the thirty-seven mountains in the area or the hundreds farther away.
After about twenty minutes of flying, I reached the main part of the sect. I was a large area the size of a town, and filled with shops and places of registry for disciples. I made my way to the nearest one and told the senior working there"I would like to apply to become an outer disciple, as I've awakened my innate bloodline"
"Name please" The senior Replied
"Jonah Arc"
"Show me your hand" The senior ordered as I obeyed. I could feel him analyzing my blood with his Qi, and then he said"Confirmed, bloodline awakened, would you like to take on any missions for some rewards?"
"What's available?"
"There are 4 missions available, one in the high mountains 29 miles out, one in the desert 42 miles out, one in the caves in the nearest mountain, and one in the forest 47 miles out" He listed
"I'll take the mission for the forest" I Replied, taking the paper from his stand as I started to fly off. I wanted to buy something but until I get money, I'll be poor.
I flew west, towards the forest as I messed around with my Qi. In my first life, I was a weapon fanatic, both modern and medieval. I tried to for something akin to a revolver from my past life, and I succeeded. Mid-flight I pointed it towards the nearest tree and pulled the trigger, and a light was shot out from it, punching straight through a tree that was easily 5 foot thick. I knew it definitely shouldn't be that strong, as it'd take a lot of work for someone at my level to cut those trees. I let the revolver dissipate, so that no one else could copy my moves, before I left towards the forest again.
I was flying towards the forest when an eagle tried to attack me, I dodged it and sped away, wanting to conserve energy for now .
I was about three miles away from the forest, when I heard a menacing sound.
It was a Sleek panther, known for their speed and ferocity among the skin tempering realm. It kept up with me as I flew above it, as it was waiting for me to come down. I decided to oblige as my wings immediately disappeared, and I plummeted towards the ground. I concentrated for a second and the Qi revolver was re-formed in my hand and aimed at the panther. With a loud gunshot, the panther simply fell to the ground dead, not even a fight.
[Bloodline detected, does Host wish to absorb? Host will gain Sleek panther form and abilities.]
"Yes" I mentally yelled. Immediately I could feel my body change and transform to a sleek panther. I didn't need to get used to it because basic information about how to control the body was implanted in my head. I immediately went over to the corpse of the one I killed, and fed on it, not disgusted since it was instincts from the panther that told me to eat.
After I was full, I noticed the information about abilities. I almost smacked my head"System show me my abilities."
[Abilities(Not defined)
Qi revolver
Basic Qi manipulation
Qi claws
(More will be here as Host gains more abilities)
Darkness affinity
Metal affinity(From original form)]
I immediately tried the Qi claws skill, and my claws glowed with a silver sheen, as they became much sharper. I decided to stay in this form for a while. An idea suddenly came to mind"System can I use my wings in this form?"
[Correct, just imagine them like normal]
"Yeah!" I immediately summoned them and tried to fly. It was more difficult with this body but I succeeded. The first thing I need to do is establish a shelter before doing the mission, as it is almost nightfall. I quickly dragged a bunch of branches and giant leaves to the side of a tree with my mouth.
As I finished setting everything up and dispelling my wings, I went to lay down in the new shelter. Before I could fall asleep, I saw a motion out of the corner of my eye. I crept up to it as quietly as possible while activating my Qi claws. When I was close enough I punched and cut the animal deeply in the side, penetrating its heart. As it died I asked the system what kind of beast it is.
[Beast is a sleek panther (metal)variant. It absorbs metals to increase body strength]
"Absorb!" I told the system as I saw the notification and heard the voice in my ears. This was a rare catch. I saw the notification and then headed back towards my temporary shelter, and drifted off into a comfortable sleep.

text: I recently bought myself a copy of Tolstoy's War and Peace. It is a massive book and I haven't read it yet (a shame I know!). A colleague across my table quipped to me "There's only so much description of a tree I can take". I like big, massive books. I mean books that take time for the reader to settle in. I mean books that don't allow you to get into the story until you've read the first 80 or 100 odd pages. These books aren't to be read on a Kindle. The hard pages as they brush across your thumb and forefinger as you turn the pages form important tactile memories and these big books also stroke my 'reader' ego, I must admit.

IN THE most inglorious episode of his presidency, Bill Clinton yesterday suffered the indignity of being quizzed about his sex life under the gaze of a woman who accuses him of soliciting sexual favours.
Affairs of state - including a showdown with Iraq - had to wait as the American president submitted to a humiliating obligation to testify in the case of Paula Jones, who accuses him of dropping his trousers to ask for sex in a hotel room in Little Rock, Arkansas, seven years ago.
Avoiding an army of journalists from around the world, Clinton slipped from the White House in his limousine to be deposited in an underground garage at his lawyer's office. There, in the presence of a federal judge, he took an oath to tell the whole truth before being exhaustively grilled about alleged sexual exploits in his former role as Arkansas governor.
Jones, wearing a cream-coloured suit, arrived with her husband a few minutes earlier, hoping to watch the naturally red-cheeked president squirm as he fielded questions in an X-rated deposition that carries all the weight of testimony given before a court.
The historic event was captured on a video tape which will be used as evidence in a trial that is scheduled for May. However, aides said that Clinton, who had appealed in vain to the Supreme Court to postpone the proceedings until after he left office, is still hoping that the case will be dismissed.
A writer of farce could not have concocted a more unlikely role for the president. But Americans were not laughing: the unedifying spectacle of the commander-in-chief of the world's most powerful nation being interrogated in such a sordid case has degraded the gravitas of the executive office to such an extent that it may never recover.
Although Clinton has given evidence as a witness in the so-called Whitewater affair, his testimony yesterday secured him an unwanted place in history as the first president ever to be interviewed under oath as a defendant in a court case.
Compounding the farce is the possibility that Paula Corbin Jones vs William Jefferson Clinton - expected to be heard in a court in Little Rock, capital of Clinton's home state, - will result in the president having to remove his trousers to prove his accuser wrong.
Jones has maintained that "distinguishing characteristics" she noted in Clinton's genital area prove she is telling the truth. But after discreet inquiries about an allegedly crooked and diminutive presidential member, Robert Bennett, Clinton's $300-an-hour lawyer, responded recently with one of the more memorable quotes in the history of high-level litigation. "In terms of size, shape, direction, whatever the devious mind wants to concoct, the president is a normal man," he said. "There are no blemishes, there are no moles, there are no growths."
The Jones team has yet to demand an independent medical examination. Just as troubling a prospect for Clinton, however, are the other women believed to have testified to Jones's lawyers recently about unwanted sexual advances from Clinton when he was governor of Arkansas.
According to one source with intimate knowledge of the case, a woman has told the Jones team that she was frequently smuggled into the governor's mansion disguised in a trench coat and cap for sexual liaisons. Four state troopers who protected the governor also say they procured women for him over the years. One said he had set up the meeting with Jones.
Clinton has said he has "no recollection" of ever having met Jones, but acknowledges that he "may very well have met her in the past". Bennett has been less circumspect, dismissing Jones's story as "titillating allegations which really are just tabloid trash".
It is all unspeakably embarrassing for the president's wife. Hillary, who was herself grilled last week in another investigation into her allegedly improper use of FBI files against Republican foes, has been photographed recently hugging her husband in a carefully calibrated signal that she intends to stand by her man, as she did when he miraculously negotiated reports of a long-running affair with Gennifer Flowers just as he was running for president.
Few had thought it would come to yesterday's testimony by Clinton. When Jones's allegations were first publicised three years ago, presidential aides were swift to dismiss her as "white trash" and as a devious muckraker. Stung by such insults, she withdrew from a settlement under which the president would have paid her $700,000, albeit without the apology she demanded.
Since then she has revamped her image. Gone are the braces that once clamped her front teeth. She has smoothed the frizzy mane of curls and for her big day in court acquired clothing more reminiscent of the boardroom than the secretarial pool.
"I had been aware of all the horrible things the White House was saying about her," said Susan Carpenter McMillan, her spokeswoman. "She is not white trash. She is not a big-haired floozy."
Yet Jones has dropped a claim that her character was defamed, apparently to avoid acute embarrassment in court where the president's lawyers, after thorough research, had planned to show that she had a colourful sexual history before her alleged encounter with Clinton. It is common knowledge to those who have followed the affair - and to the readers of Penthouse magazine - that she posed naked for a photographer boyfriend when she was 19.
It is the exploration of other aspects of her private life that has begun to raise questions. Mysteriously, she has become the target of an audit by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) which in turn - in keeping with the farcical nature of the affair - has become the subject of an investigation by the Treasury Department over claims that the taxman has been used as a political weapon against Clinton's enemies.
As these side battles rage, the chances of a settlement are fast receding. Under rules set by a judge, the evidence-gathering period known as "discovery" which must conclude by the end of this month, has so far, according to Clinton's lawyers, failed to produce evidence that might prompt the president to pursue a new settlement and find the $2m needed (Jones has apparently upped her demands) to make her go away.
Clinton may be calculating that the most humiliating allegations that could emerge in a trial - those concerning his penis - are already public knowledge and that his best chance of salvaging some dignity is to win vindication in court, where Jones may have a tough time winning, even if she is telling the truth.
It is a gamble. More than any of the welter of scandals plaguing his presidency, the outcome of the Jones saga could determine his place in history: whether he is remembered for balancing the budget or simply as "bonking Bill".

Fall 2013

Investment Outlook and Strategy:
Using the above as our backdrop, below are a few thoughts on different asset classes that affect our current allocation strategies. We continue to maintain a diversified investment strategy that attempts to protect portfolios against the known and unknown risks facing investors.
Bonds - The threat of a reduction in the Fed's purchase of Treasuries sent yields higher this summer. Rates have lowered since then. We believe this is a short-term trend. Although the yield increase earlier this year may have been overdone, we believe that yields will trend higher over the longer-term. We continue to favor managers that have a multi-sector approach that allows for flexibility as volatility remains high.
Enhanced-Yield Strategies - Although traditional high-yield mutual funds can be another way to invest in U.S. companies, we continue to favor private debt transactions as bank lending is still very hard to find for small companies and investment groups. The U.S. government shutdown has only exasperated the problem. We continue to seek deals with low to mid-teen returns backed by strong collateral in real estate and private operating companies.
Stocks - The U.S. stock market has been the darling of the investment world for most of 2013. The "buy the dip" strategy has continued to work this year. However, if one of the political parties is really willing to risk a U.S. default, then all bets are off on how deep the next dip might be. The Fed's promise of a highly accommodative policy continues to provide a backstop, but Bernanke probably could not print enough money to backstop a U.S. default. If D.C. can come to some sort of agreement though, as companies continue to have strong balance sheets, the economy should continue to move forward into 2014.
Real Estate - The multi-family housing sector continues to see investor money come in to acquire assets. This has placed Virtu, one of our managers, in a very good position as it acquired most of its properties at least two years ago. Virtu sold three properties this summer and has several properties on the market this fall. We still think certain real estate sectors present a good investment opportunity as well as diversification from the stock market. Specifically, we continue to favor commercial opportunities that generate ongoing cash flow. Landsmith had expected more bulk sales this quarter; however, activity has slowed down in the housing market leading to builders stalling on the acquisition of more lots.
Commodities/Managed Futures - Although a positive in these asset classes has been energy, consumers have had to get used to higher gas prices. Commodities and Managed Futures continue to be the biggest drag on clients' portfolios. Another twist to this asset class is the increased stimulus plans from other countries and its effects on the U.S. dollar as mentioned in our outlook. This could be a continued headwind for U.S. dollar based commodities. However, we continue to use these asset classes to mitigate the risks of increased inflation expectations and a weakening dollar while the Federal Reserve continues printing money at historic rates while tapering has been delayed.

In the meantime, here are some great ideas for short breaks that won't bust the budget:
Short breaks that won't bust the budget
1.Siem Reap, Cambodia
Most people have the Angkor temples on their itinerary when they travel to Siem Reap and this UNESCO World Heritage site is indeed a must-visit. The temples are spread out over a large area, so three days would be just enough to take them all in. The Angkor Wat is, of course, the temple to see. It's one of the largest religious monuments in the world!
But besides the temples, you may also want to check out Siem Reap's traditional floating villages. If you have the time, you could also pay a visit to the War Museum. Tours of the museum are run by ex-soldiers who fought in the war against the Khmer Rouge.
2. Cebu, Philippines
Cebu and the islands around it are a diver's paradise. Here, you can spot sharks, coral gardens and swim alongside sea turtles. Cebu is also home to spectacular waterfalls, with Kawasan Falls being the most stunning. It is the perfect spot for thrill-seekers. Here, you can rock-climb, and do canyoning, rapelling and waterfall jumping.
Cebu is also home to a variety of wildlife. If you are up for it, go on a scenic trek where you can spot the rarely seen tarsier.
Adventurous foodies may like to try Cebu's street food which features exotic dishes like salt-water eels and pig brains.
3. Luang Prabang, Laos
This UNESCO World Heritage town is relatively untouched by modernisation. It's a great place to soak up Lao culture. A visit to one of its numerous temples or wats is a must. The best-known is Wat Xieng Thong.
As with other Southeast Asian countries, Luang Prabang has bustling night markets. Here, you'll find hill tribes peddling wood carvings, handicraft and jewellery. Nature lovers will enjoy the Kuang Si waterfall. This Instagram-worthy natural wonder boasts striking turquoise waters. You can even swim in some of its pools.
Other attractions include visits to monasteries, a traditional weaving village as well as the famed Pak Ou caves, which are noted for their miniature Buddha sculptures. Avid cooks may want to join a cooking class to learn how to whip up Lao specialities.
4. Hanoi, Vietnam
Hanoi is one of the cheapest cities to explore in Vietnam. Spend time strolling through the Old Quarter and around Hoan Kiem Lake. Pay a visit to the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum to see the preserved body of Vietnam's 20th century leader, followed by a visit to his stilt house and the neighbouring One Pillar Pagoda. Museum lovers will want to visit the Museum of Ethnology, which features the traditions of Vietnam's 54 ethnic groups.
Foodies should consider joining Hanoi's Street Food Tours. On this trail, you can look forward to sampling local favourites like pho (beef noodles), banh da ca (fish noodle soup) and banh cuon (rice with minced pork). You may also want to take in a water puppet show at the north-east corner of Hoan Kiem Lake.
5. Padang, Indonesia
The capital city of west Sumatra, Padang is home to the famous Padang cuisine. Tuck into nasi padang, choosing from specialities like rendang sapi, soto padang, ayam pop and sate!
Roam around the old town which has historical buildings and a harbour built by the Dutch. There is also a beautiful bridge by the river and an old Chinatown with shophouses. In addition, you can xplore the highlands of Bukittinggi, home of the Minangkabau people. It has interesting attractions like the Pandai Sikek Village, Asasi Gunung Mosque and Anai Valley. There's also a family theme park and water park to delight the children.
6. Yogyakarta
Yogyakarta is home to the famous Borobudur temple. Wake up early for a sunrise tour of Borobudur, followed by a visit to Prambanan, a 9th century Hindu temple. Don't forget to include a visit to the UNESCO World Heritage listed water palace, Taman Sari.
7. Kuching
Kuching is a perfect holiday destination for the family. Go on a river safari where you'll get to see dolphins and crocodiles, visit the Sarawak Cultural Village and trek in the Bako National Park.
8. Bukit Tinggi
Located in the Bentong district in Pahang, Bukit Tinggi is the newest highland destination in Malaysia. Here, you can enjoy cool weather and lush rainforest. Among its attractions are the French-styled Colmar Tropicale resort and a Zen-inspired Japanese garden.

The bed is gigantic, so is the bedroom. You have a great view to the sea on every room, and depending on which room you are add that you will also be able to see the sunset. There is a large swimming pool and a decent breakfast on a great and safe location. The AC is old, but it does work greatly after a few minutes. There's beautiful wood work on the furniture, but bathroom needs improvement. Cleanliness happened often but it would look better if things were renovated, it gets hard to tell.
They added an extra to the price on booking.com. It is an iconic building and it needs renovation, a few things look just wrong, but I balanced to the fact that it is an interesting architecture and if it was fully renovated it would cost much more. Breakfast could have more variety, I also noticed that they don't make tapioca (beiju) during the weekdays.
ExcellentAug 20199.2
We travelled with our 9-month old baby Boy and the staff did the outmost to help us: a good crib, warming up or preparing dishes for him, be it day or evening. Besides that a great breakfast, an extensive pool area bordering the sea shore and a spacey room with a sea view. Really nothing to complain. The hotel is a 15-minute cab ride away from the historical centre; some eateries and a supermarket are nearby. We will be back.

Just a few days ago, Dan Cathy, President of Chick-fil-A, affirmed his stance on the sanctity of traditional marriage. The restaurant chain has been, and continues to be, under a concerted attack from same-sex marriage advocates.
I applaud the courage of Cathy to take a bold stand for the biblical definition of marriage between a man and woman in a culture that has grown openly hostile to the Christian faith and its followers.
Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee has called for a National Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day on Wednesday, August 1, to demonstrate support for the company. I would like to join with him, and ask that, if you live near one of their restaurants please drop by and let them know how much you appreciate them and their stand.
In the words of the bold, biblical prophet Daniel who refused to bow to the culture of his day: "The people who know their God will display strength and take action" (Daniel 11:32, NASB).
Thank you and God bless you.

The most beautiful sunset I've ever seen in my life was on Highway 495 heading northbound into Towaoc, Colorado. There were colors shimmering within the clouds that I don't believe I've ever seen before. The light was magic, and fleeting. Even if I could have pulled over to snap a few photos I doubt I would have been able to capture the experience.
I'm sure I'll see more impressive sunsets somewhere, but probably not from the seat of a big rig traveling through Colorado. As of this writing, I've been off the road for almost a month. I initially intended to take only one week off to meet my wife at the airport as she returned from being abroad for three months. A few days to clean our house which had essentially been unlived in for three months, and a few days to catch up with my love after being apart all summer. That was the plan, anyway.
It is a bit complicated how that one week turned into four, then turned into maybe forever. The very short story is that my father passed away a few years ago, and his estate has been stuck in probate for most of that time. Concurrent with my wife coming home, we finally got a hearing in probate court. After sailing through that, I made a decision to stay home to finally close accounts, transfer titles and shuffle all the paperwork that had remained unshuffled these past years. Hello Notary Public, I haven't talked with you in a while, here's the newest stack of forms we'll need to go through.
That said, I will be honest, I have not been that excited about truck driving for a while. I know it's only been five months. The shine came off that rose awfully fast.
Here's a quick sample of some the reasons I didn't want to continue to be an OTR trucker after only five months:
- I like sleeping in my own bed too much.
- That's not to say I had bad nights in the truck, often I slept really good. But if you look at trucking like you are camping out every night, which essentially you are, it becomes a drag. And, it's nice not having to walk the length of a football field in the middle of the night just to go to the toilet. Or, having to piss in a bottle. Which brings me to….
- Truck drivers are disgusting.
- I don't want to come off all Felix Unger here, but there's only so many times you can brush your teeth in the same sink that a hundred other truckers just spit into that morning. Or, you know the thing where someone plugs up one nostril to blow snot out the other? Then cough and hack up phlegm into the same sink. Then I'm supposed to brush my teeth and/or shave in this same sink that Patient Zero just used? Pass.
- The money wasn't really that great
- Don't misunderstand, the money was good, and that was just starting out. And from everything I know, the money in transportation only gets better, often much better. But….
- I got tired of working 14 hour days
- And that was the rub. When you factor in working constant 10, 12 and 14 hour days, and begin to actually look at it with a "per hour" metric, with no overtime ever, then it really was a poor return on your work day.
- I never want to be stuck in L.A. traffic ever again
- Never. The 60, the 710, the 210 and the 405 freeways can all go rot as far as I'm concerned. And I promise never to complain about "traffic" in Vegas ever again.
- I wanted to get off the road before winter
- I've never even driven a car on a slick, icy road in winter, let alone a 75,000 lbs big rig. And don't even get me started about my lack of understanding about chaining tires. No. Just…no.
- I'm a big pussy
- Without question, no argument here.
- I love Las Vegas
- This is the one that surprised me the most. Everywhere I went wasn't home. I visited some very cool places, and some that I will actively try to visit again soon, but over the months, I began to live for those days when the assignment finally took me back to Las Vegas. Back to home. I never thought I would feel this way about this city. And I'd rather just stay here.
What's next?
I'm on the job hunt again. I have my CDL, it's still in good order, so I'm primarily looking for local driving jobs. The catch is that most require at least one to two years experience. We'll see what happens.
I think I might evolve this into a "job hunting" blog, actually. The trials of a 48 year old with only a Bachelors Degree in Art and outstanding Excel skills who is just trying to make his way through a stagnant economy.
Turn all the wheels, indeed.

Bad Brake The true story of a defective parking brake that caused injury and death— and how Kline & Specter won against the Ford Motor Co.
I intended to read this book in several sittings.
Instead, I went through its gripping narrative
in one sitting. If you want to read one book
about a product defect under trial with such
inside access about what it takes to achieve a
measure of justice from a strenuously resisting
giant corporation, Bad Brake is the one… A
masterpiece theatre.
— Ralph Nader, author of Unsafe at Any Speed
Bad Brake is a gripping nonfiction page-turner. It captures in detail all of the critical
elements—the ups and downs, tactics and
strategies, joy and heartbreak—of fighting for
justice against a well-heeled manufacturer…
The book shows how trial lawyers are our last
line of defense against corporations maximizing
profits over people's safety and lives.
— Arthur Bryant, executive director
of Public Justice
