Municipality of Motovun
Motovun is a city-monument, an ancient Istrian acropola situated on top of a 277 m high hill, whose current look dates back to the Middle Ages. To the top of the hill and its Venetian style town square leads the longest Istrian staircase 1052 stairs. Its position and look make it one of the most beautiful old towns in the Mediterranean.
1.004 inhabitants, 33.58 km²
Municipality of Motovun covers the area of 33,58 km2, and according to the 2011 Census I has 1.004 inhabitants.
Four larger settlements make up the Municipality: Motovun, Kaldir, Brkač and Sveti Bartol.
The town of Giant Jože
The history of Motovun begins before the Roman era, when a Celtic tribe inhabited the area. The name is also Celtic in origin, from the word Montona – meaning a town in the hill.
An old legend says that, once upon a time there were giants in the river Mirna valley. They were so big that, while building the towns on the hills overlooking Mirna, they could pass tools and large rocks to one another over the buildings. One of the towns built in this time was Motovun. Much later, when Istria became populated by regular people as well, the giants started disappearing, but in the legend and stories by Vladimir Nazor, the Giant Jože of Motovun was remembered, he was so big and strong that he could shake the bell tower in the town with his bare hands.
Rich architectural heritage
From the rich architectural heritage of Motovun, several pieces stand out: the Town entrance with the bastion, Town loggia, St. Stephen Parish Church, medieval street layout, town wells and many coats of arms on the facades. In Sveti Bartol, there is a church with the same name, built in 1651. In Brkač, there is the church of St. Pancras built in 1942 in place of the older one from the 15th century. Around this church was the graveyard that was probably the one mentioned in 1681 chorography written by a Trieste doctor, in which he wrote about the finding of a grave 1656 in Brkač that had a body in it which turned into dust after the grave was opened. In Kaldir, there is St. John the Baptist Parish Church built in 1873 and blessed by the famous Istrian bishop Juraj Dobrila. Opposite the cemetery, there is also a thoroughly renovated Holy Trinity Church.
Municipality of Motovun is a host to series of traditional folk and international events during the year. In Motovun itself there is the "Igra na Rog" – the game only men can play on Ash Wednesday. One of them throws a horn, and then others throw stick as close to it as possible. The one closest gets most points. The game starts on the top part of the Motovun hill and ends at the bottom of the hill. Then there are Days of Giant Jože, Motovun Film Festival and TeTa – Festival of Teran wine and truffles.
In Kaldir, there is the Festival of fruits, "Kolejani" – a procession through the villages, and blessing of homes on the night of 5th/6th January as a preparation for Epiphany, and the celebration of St. John the Baptist. Sveti Bartol has wine and sasuages evaluation. Brkač has the celebration of St. Pancras.
Land of wine and truffles
Motovun is surrounded by vineyards with famous Istrian wines – teran and malvazija, while Motovun forrest in Mirna valley is the natural habitat of truffles which are collected with specially trained dogs. Summer and early autumn is when black truffle can be found, and in late autumn and winter, there are tasty and (pricey) Istrian white truffles.
According to scientific research, this town owes a lot to its position at the crossroads of Earth's energy meridians, or the so called "Dragon's lines". These meridians carry positive life force through the landscape, and in the place where these lines cross, like in Motovun, there is a string source of positive energy, a sort of spiracle of the Earth. Such energy surge has a relaxing and calming effect on people, it increases concentration and spirituality, rests and relaxes develops creativity and tolerance. Maybe that's the cause for many gatherings and creative assemblies of people from all around the world that take place in Motovun.

SAN ANTONIO (AP) — About an hour after the season ended, Chris Bosh was standing near the bus ramp from where the Miami Heat would soon depart for the airport and the offseason.
Miami's two-year reign was over.
And Bosh almost sounded relieved.
The Heat got rolled in the NBA Finals by San Antonio, losing in five games, the last three of them lopsided, and for the first time since 2011 there would be no championship parade in Miami. The same team that the Heat wore down in the 2013 finals had all the answers, ushering in a summer for Miami that will be filled with questions about the futures of LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Bosh.
"I don't think anybody really enjoyed this season like in years past," Bosh told The Associated Press. "There was no, like, genuine joy all the time. It seemed like work. It was a job the whole year. Winning was just a relief. Losing was a cloud over us sometimes and then we'd break out of it — and then go right back. But we got here. We had a chance. They were just better."
That being said, and while hardly committing to a fifth season of the "Big 3" era in Miami, Bosh made it clear: The group wants to remain intact. Whether or not personal choices and financial realities of a salary-capped, luxury-taxed world will allow that to happen remain unclear.
"We want to stay together, man," Bosh said. "I'll say that. It's a great organization, great team and great city. And to have a chance, that's all you can ask for."
James insisted he hasn't thought about what decisions he has to make this summer. Wade has often expressed interest in remaining with the Heat. Bosh has said repeatedly that he wants to stay. But all can become free agents in the next couple weeks, and the Heat might be rooting for that to happen.
By opting out, they could get new deals with the Heat and create financial flexibility for team president Pat Riley to lure new pieces into a locker room that will need new faces.
"The whole league continues to get better every single year," James said. "Obviously we would need to get better from every facet, every position. It's just how the league works."
For as well as he played in Game 5 — 31 points and 10 rebounds in what would be the final game of Miami's run as champion — James' best display of defense came afterward, when pressed repeatedly about his future.
"I will deal with my summer when I get to that point," James said. "Me and my team will sit down and deal with it. I love Miami. My family loves it. But obviously right now that's not even what I'm thinking about. You guys are trying to find answers. I'm not going to give you one."

This content is user submitted and not an official statement
I would have to say that the banner that reads "Obama, we did not vote for Keystone"... Um, yes you did.
Just look up who funded your people. Its all there. To think they wont repay them for that cushy political job is insanity.
Why does society love to be dumped on like this? Props to the people that made some noise today and went to jail for it.

Universal Notebook Adapter

click image to enlarge
According to recent research, it is expected that notebooks will outsell desktop models by the year 2009. This change of emphasis, regarding the balance between the two types of computer hardware is being driven by the appearance of new processors designed specifically for use with notebooks. Into this category fall the Intel Centrino 2 and Intel Centrino 2 VPro. These new processors are fast closing the gap between the performance and functionality of the desktop and notebook platforms.
However, even with the improved battery life performance delivered by the new Centrino technology and features such as Acer's QuicCharge facility, the need to access a power source can still be problematic. This is especially true for the road warrior who has to cope with various input/output scenarios in the normal course of events. Offering to provide assistance in such circumstances is the NB Plus Universal Notebook Adapter.
This product has been developed by FSP Group. For those unaware of FSP Group, this company describes itself as one of the world's leading manufacturers of power supplies. Its headquarters are in Taiwan with branch offices in America, UK, Chine, Germany, Japan, Korea, India and Russia.
The NB Plus kit consists of the main adapter unit; eight DC output tips for different styles of fittings; mains power lead with a UK-style 3-pin plug; linking cable to connect the adapter unit to a notebook; soft carry bag with pouches for the individual elements; and a folded, multi-language instruction sheet. The adapter unit, in highly reflective black, has dimensions of 75 x 155 x 18mm (H x W x D). Input and output sockets are located on either end of the adapter while a USB socket is positioned on the front of the unit.
Situated in the top right corner is a small LCD window that displays the currently selected voltage. Recessed buttons allow you to adjust and set the voltage level plus check on the unit's temperature as it acts as a conduit for the power. The output level can be adjusted to 15/16/18/19/20/21Vdc allowing this adapter to be used with most of the notebooks that are available in the current market.
The list of compatible notebook manufacturers includes IBM, HP, Compaq, Dell, Sony, Acer, Asus and Toshiba. Some basis details are provided as to which tip should be used with particular notebooks. However this is not really as comprehensive as it could have been. For example five different tips are suggested for use with Acer products but no details are given regarding the different models that come be used. This could cause problems for the less-experienced user. Unlike a similar device from Kensington, reviewed recently, the USB facility on this FSP product does not require any additional purchase in order to access its functionality.
As reviewed the product is really only suitable for use in the UK. If you intend taking this product abroad then you will need to purchase an alternate power lead with the appropriate plug. The FSP NB Plus Adapter has been priced at £57.39. It should be available from most leading e-tailers, retailers and system builders including Maplin Electronics (www.maplin.co.uk) and Scan Computers (www.scan.co.uk).

|"The world is my representation."
60% say the economy is getting worse. There could be a lot of reasons why we might think so but what seems to be jumping front are politics and major socio-economic shifts. Change brings a feeling of insecurity and stress. Helping them view change in a more positive light might make a difference in how they view their future prospects.
Americans scan their environment to understand the world around them and how that impacts their lives. They listen to the news, talk to their friends, and look at their paychecks. Their paychecks are going up and hiring is on the fast track forward but.......they are still pessimistic. How information is being fed to them might have an impact.
It seems that the political process is weighing down on their optimism. When they turn on the news and open their Internet browser they are bombarded by how bad the economy is. Each candidate in pointing out the negatives of what is going on and then showing how they are going to magically going to fix it. High on rhetoric but low on substance.
The problem is that all these doomsday arguments don't truly represent what is going on. The economy is actually doing really well but this message isn't coming through to the average person. The high minded economists are talking on an academic level about change in the economy while politicians are emphatically projecting how bad it is using "real" language. One seems to resonate more than another.
That isn't the only thing going on. There are also major shifts both locally and globally on a social and economic level. European economies are slowing while emerging economies are no longer emerging but getting closer to becoming top tier economies. One must only look at the growth of Asia into an economic powerhouse over the past decade or so to realize this.
This change is apparent as American power is challenged overseas. Whether we are talking about disputed islands or major transformation in the Middle East things are shifting. The powerful U.S. will need to reassess its treaties and economic policies to ensure we are creating a nation of "builders" and entrepreneurs that are hungry for opportunities.We must see opportunities in change and capitalize on them.
We are also finding that our social environments are changing and we are becoming a metropolitan economy whereby where you are from isn't as important as what you can do. Look around any university campus or technology company and you will see very quickly that diversity is at work. For some...this can be a little scary as people redefine their place in society.
American's are not a pessimistic group by nature but pessimism sells. That is what people hear from their leaders and that comes to feed our natural fears of change. As a people we need direction based on what is actually going on in the world to navigate the big economic and social changes that are already in process. Fear might sell but optimism and clear direction give us the strength to rise to new challenges.

Images is the artwork of taking the photographs via the camera. Plant pictures deals with all forms of plants, from flowers to vegetables, from timber to moss. Nonetheless, it is very important not that high quality of the photographs will also rely upon some characteristics that the digital camera has. His company pictures service may include doing the picture shoot for the fashions, vogue and wonder industry in addition to for different industries for his or her promoting wants.
A nature photographer can (if they select) find a respectable topic, photograph it in no matter lighting circumstances they occur to seek out, then go house and completely alter the colors, the contrast, and even the element of the image. Some topics of Nature Pictures could be Wildlife and animals, flowers, timber or crops, spiders, snakes and bugs, landscapes, seascapes and different land formations.
Other entrepreneurs quickly followed in Ms. Blakeley's footsteps and now you'll find alphabet pictures not solely of pure, outdoor objects, however of particular person letters in well-known signs or from well-known architectural places everywhere in the world.
An knowledgeable wedding ceremony photographer shouldn't be a general photographer. Mild and stage are vital to present day images. The positive art photographer find that through the different of angles, gentle, expression, garments, cosmetics, background and so on techniques, he can totally present the connotation and characteristics.
This made it in order that photographs could be taken after which loaded into the computer to be sent to folks through the internet or they could be despatched to most drug shops to be developed at a selected time, normally set by the shopper.

The Philippines had a triple whammy. Super typhoon Haiyan brought strong rainfall with winds hitting at race car speed, plus a 20 foot tsunami. It was like a gigantic F3 tornado that left a path of destruction across central Philippines about the width of New Jersey. Try surviving that for 12 hours. Those who miraculously survived that unthinkable ordeal face an even greater challenge ahead.
My kids and I have been watching the news and seeing the devastation and hardships brought about by super typhoon Haiyan just breaks our hearts. All my problems suddenly seem so mundane.
After reading about relief efforts in our town and researching on the internet, I found out that two cargo box forwarding companies are waiving shipping fees for relief goods destined for victims of Haiyan until the end of this month.
RDR Cargo Express is conducting a relief goods drop-off drive at their store located at 76 South Washington Ave., Bergenfield, NJ. And for those who want to donate but don't have time to drop off their relief goods, they can even pick it up if it's within the range of their scheduled pick-ups.
LBC Express Inc. is also accepting canned and bottled foods, medicines, first aid kits, and toiletries that will be delivered for free to the Philippine Red Cross. Take note that relief goods have to be packed in shipping boxes with a dimension of 28" x 18" x 17" which you could purchase at all their branches world wide. However, packed relief goods are only being accepted at their main branches. The main branch in New Jersey is located at 69 Belleville Avenue, Bloomfield, NJ.
As soon as I found out about the generous offers to ship for free to the Philippines up to November 30, I made a background check on these companies and the relief organizastions they are helping out. And when I was fully satisfied that these are reputable companies, I brought out the idea of a canned goods drive with my kids. I was actually surprised that they were excited about it.
We bought bright colored poster boards and markers and my younger kids made donation signs for their schools and other volunteer drop off locations like our home. My middle child who takes forever to do his chores volunteered to rake the front lawn without me asking. My high school daughter wrote to various schools. I am just so thrilled that they are not thinking only about themselves for once.
Click here for tips on how to encourage your kids to volunteer and its many advantages.
A Grade 7 kid from Cranford is also initiating a clothing drive to raise funds. The drop off schedule is on Sunday, December 1 from 9 am to 12 noon at 35 Mendell Avenue. These clothes will not be sent to the Philippines but sold and the funds raised will be donated. Therefore you can donate winter clothes and shoes as well. Click here for a complete list of acceptable items.
It's hard not to do anything when there are tens of thousands who are hungry, thirsty, maybe injured, sleeping tonight without a roof over their heads and probably beside the corpse of family members. It is difficult to see anything positive about this grim and desperate situation that we see happening in the devastated islands of the Philippines. The only thing good I see happening is that kids and adults alike are seeing how blessed they are and are moved to donate, volunteer and try to make a difference in someone else's life half way around the world.

Elderflower Cordial
Using a large washing up bowl or stainless steel saucepan pour the boiling water over the sugar. Stir to dissolve.
Grate the zest from the lemons and then half them and squeeze the juice out. Throw the whole lot (zest, juice and skins) into the bowl with the sugar and hot water.
When cool add the citric acid stirring well.
Now add all the elderflower heads submerging them in the liquid. Cover with a clean cloth and steep for 24 hrs.
Sterlise a piece of muslin or new J Cloth in boiling water and strain the liquid into a clean bowl or jug.
Sterlise bottles/jars by placing in a warm oven for 10 minutes. (140 to 160C will be hot enough)
Pour the cordial into the bottles once they have cooled.

At her popular Los Angeles dinner parties, my good friend Suzanne Rheinstein, an interior designer and New Orleans native, often serves a first course consisting of a generous scoop of jumbo lump blue crab napped with green goddess dressing.
I now serve what I think of as "Suzanne's Green Goddess Crabmeat" a lot, but for this dinner, which features an embarrassment of shellfish riches, an entire serving of crab would be too much. Instead, I inverted the dish by making a soup out of green goddess ingredients and using a few lumps of crab as garnish only. Even without the crab, the soup (inspired by a recipe from another pal, Nora Etheridge) is pretty great.
How to Make It
Place the cucumber, avocado, scallions, parsley, tarragon leaves, and chopped chives into a food processor. Process for about 10 seconds. Add the chicken stock, sour cream, lemon juice, salt, and cayenne. Process for another 10 seconds, until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
Pour the soup into a large bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and chill for at least 2 hours. When ready to serve, ladle into soup bowls or plates, garnish with a couple of lumps of the crabmeat, and sprinkle with the minced tarragon and minced chives.
NOTE: I like to serve this soup accompanied by thin slices of baguette brushed with melted butter, toasted, and sprinkled with sea salt. Make enough to offer with the Shrimp Malacca.

A flask tote'in bride + human walls + magic sun + delish foodtrucks + poetry-slam'in grandmas + love, love, love = September 25/2016
Damn. This day. These people. This celebration. I tried my best to keep it chill and pick out JUST a few, 'choice' photos of this wedding… and promptly failed miserably as I squealed, saved and added almost every one I scrolled through (I'm currently blowing up 100 images of JUST Tadia and Patty poster size to re-decorate my house with. Husband can't wait). What struck me most as I drooled over these photos was how much LIFE is caught in every shot. Victoria Takes Photos KILLS it with every crowd shot, with every stolen, candid moment, and all the sneaky snapshots in between. There is no feeling of 'cheese' or awkward 'holds' for the photographer – the images flow and pop with energy and feeling. I clearly am biased regarding the subjects being photographed but I for reals flipped my lid when – after only a few death threats – my sweet bestie sent me the link to all the goodness. Sigh* my friends are pretty.

Yesterday was quite a day. I am actually STILL exhausted and wanting to nap, but too much sleep is not a good thing for me. So I am trying to stay busy, while resting occasionally on the couch, usually with a child or two snuggling up against me (L and G are the BEST snugglers). But before I head off to the land of resting – by watching a show, something we rarely get to do around here, I felt I could better use my time by sharing what happened to me yesterday . . . on the Road to Escazu.
My dear, sweet, kind, thoughtful, caring and most wonderful Dayna came to visit Costa Rica for a couple weeks and personally asked if I would come visit her. I jumped at the chance, even realizing that I would have to drive in the WORST traffic I have ever seen in Costa Rica. Our main freeway into San Jose is "half" shut down, causing immense traffic to build up all around the cities, making it miserable to go a short 7 miles.
It literally took me one hour just to get through a 2 mile stretch. Sadly, my car overheated and ceased (something it did last Friday – read about our adventure that day here) and left me stranded in the middle of a very busy and dangerous crossways. I felt so helpless and got out of the car, not being able to drive it but also not knowing how to get it out of the narrow crossway of multi-directional traffic. A couple of cars drove over medians to get around my car then stopped and asked what was wrong (which is AMAZING I could even understand them!!) but all I could say was my car was very hot and not functioning. They shrugged their shoulders and drove off. Okay?!?
But I stayed calm. I CHOSE not to freak out and silently prayed for help to come. That was when 2 dirt-bike Police came riding up (yes, they drive dirt bikes) and asked what I was doing. I asked for help, explaining I didn't speak Spanish well, and they said, "Ya. Anyway . . ." What?!?! The mom in me wanted to smack their little mouths for being so impatient and rude but I stayed calm and simply told them the same thing I told the other people who asked. Thankfully they chose to help me and immediately zipped around my car and blocked the traffic but expected me to drive my car to the near-by gas station (which is a COMPLETE miracle by the way. Gas stations are far and few between here, so the fact that I broke down right in front of one was a literal miracle for me!)
But my car was ceased up. I tried to explain it to them but they stamped their foot and looked at me to "Move it!!! We can't wait all day!" I looked at them with a look of "Okay, okay. I'm going." So I took a deep breath and hopped into my car, looking forward to what would await me.
To my surprise, it not only started and moved forward, it also let me go in reverse, avoiding the HUGE ditch that was right in front of me (another reason I was trying to stay calm – how would people be able to push my car and have me go forward and then in reverse and then forward, all in BUSY TRAFFIC!!) But I was spared from such stress and my car chugged to the gas station, just as the dirt-bike police drove off . . . off to do what exactly?
Sadly, the gas station had an incline drive-way, so my car came to a complete stop. I hopped out and waved over a gas attendant to help me out. He grabbed another man and the 3 of us pushed my car onto their property where I received speedy service to try and cool my radiator down and fill it up with coolant. It guzzled 2.5 gallons of coolant and only cooled down to "medium" in the 30 minutes I was there. The attendant said it was "normal" and I could drive it. He also replaced the radiator cap, hoping that was the problem. But only minutes after driving the car from the gas station, in very steep hilly conditions, my car overheated again. So I found a shady place to let the car cool, wondering how I would ever make it up the steep mountainside of Escazu to my sweet friend Dayna.
Again I chose to stay calm and not panic that I was all alone, on a strange dead-end road, not knowing anyone and was vulnerable to having someone steal from me or worse, hurt me. I stayed positive, even though I REALLY wanted to spend the afternoon with Dayna, and opened my mind to the possibility that I might not get to do what I wanted but chose to be okay if that indeed happened. I also opened my mind to being patient, not wanting to hurry the process of cooling my car down, so that I wouldn't do permanent damage to my car.
In all my "calming down", I noticed a man in my side view mirror, holding a cane, looking at my car. I didn't panic. I got out and lifted the hood to help the car cool down and waved a "good day" to him, before I hopped back into the safety of my car. Well, that intrigued him and he came walking down the hill towards me. He actually came right up to my window and asked me, in very difficult to understand Spanish, what I was doing? I did my best to explain and he showed me nothing but respect, staying with me until my car was ready to leave the safety of the cool shade of a tree.
I found out that he was a retired police officer, so not only was he kind but he knew how to protect me. Another blessing! The man and I agreed that it was time to give it a try, but no sooner had I left, the car started to heat up on me. So I had to make Plan B. I hoped I could make it to a near-by restaurant that Dayna and I first met in person at, and hoped she could come to me and we could maybe just eat lunch together, while my car cooled down completely or that she could take me to her house and do what she had planned for us to do. But I had no way to reach her. My Ooma account, that allows me to call USA numbers, wasn't working on my phone and Paul was not able to be reached for help. So I had to call my house and have K call Dayna on our USA line and tell her my plan. I stayed on the cell phone to coach K through the call (she isn't comfortable talking on the phone with adults yet).
As I gave K my ideas for a new plan, the restaurant name upset her. She thought I was saying "Mocopond" which in Spanish was booger-pond and she was too embarrassed to say something so childish to Dayna. It was actually called "Mocapan" but I actually kept calling it "Mocopan". Dayna had no idea what I was saying and with K refusing to help, they passed the phone to E, who thought I was saying something even fancier. So he told her "Mocopán!" It was just a hot mess, to say the least. Eventually Dayna knew what they were saying and she said she was on the way.
When she picked me up, I expressed my frustration with the phone call and shared my irritation that K wouldn't tell her "Mocopan". Dayna just laughed and laughed and then helped me see MY ERROR, to which I felt terrible for the miscommunication "I" had caused my own children. We had a GREAT laugh and she made me promise to write this silly miscommunication and different perspective mix up down for my family to remember one day.
After a good laugh, and realizing that it had taken me 2 hours to get to her that day, we enjoyed a delicious lunch of tuna melts and fresh grapes, while chatting about her children attending BYU and the futures they awaited. Then we shared the afternoon cooking dinner for our families, Teriyaki meatballs from Mel's Kitchen Cafe, a blogger she heard at BYU and has come to enjoy reading her daily blog posts and recipes. We talked and talked, rather I talked and talked, and she listened and we had a most wonderful time.
But time was against us. Traffic grows even worse in the afternoon and Dayna still had to get me back to my car, parked at "Mocapan". I quickly showed her my cross-stitch, sharing a bit of wisdom I had gained in seeing my life as a cross-stitch project, and then we left. We arrived at the restaurant, my car still there (not towed – thank heaven!) and cooled down. I immediately drove to the nearest gas station to get more coolant, making sure to fill it while it was cooled. The car had already drank 3 gallons (I had put the last .5 in while letting the car cool on the hill with the man & his cane – Rafael was his name). So I was surprised when the gas attendant put another 1.5 gallons into the car.
I quickly used the restroom, anticipating the long traffic wait (thankfully I took care of myself – something I am learning to do better at) and drove off to Lindora as safely and quickly as I could. Sadly, the car started to heat up all over again. I was nervous. Paul couldn't come to my rescue (not only because he had a meeting to be to at 6 p.m. but because the traffic would keep him from getting to me until AFTER his meeting would even be over. Traffic is THAT BAD right now!) So I tapped into the faith I had and stayed as calm as I could, requesting all the help I could get from Heavenly Father but being willing to let things happen how they will happen.
Thankfully I had my cross-stitching with me, because it kept my mind not only off the traffic craziness but off the temperature gauge. And with bumper-to-bumper traffic, no one minded me turning off my car as we sat for 5-10 minutes before we could move the one or two car lengths ahead of us. It could have been mind-numbingly painful but I kept positive music on, stayed faithful, stayed positive, counted my blessings that the kids were safe and sound and their father was almost home from work, if they needed him, and that eventually, even if it took me until later tonight, I would get home, and that is ALL that mattered to me.
My car did fairly well and allowed me to pass the new mall on Lindora and made it to a new condo development, where I pulled over and let the car cool down from its dangerous temperatures. Then after a 15 minute rest, I tried again, not thinking to fill the car up with the leftover coolant that the attendant had given to me. I FINALLY made it through Lindora and pulled off onto a road that takes us by our friend's condos, the McCune's and Robbins', but just as I was about to drive by, the car hit the "danger zone" and I had to pull over. Thankfully, in an area I was very familiar with.
I know the security guards at the condos, even though they don't seem to like me very much, and felt comfortable asking them to fill up my collection of coolant jugs. The car took another 2.5 gallons of fluid. What was going on? We had a new radiator cap. There were no leaks as well. What else could be causing the fluid to burn up so quickly? Paul finally called me back and I explained where I was and what had happened that day. I miss the "old Paul." The Paul that would always calm me down and give me the courage to keep pluggin' along. Things at work have not been good and having the car breakdown was not what he wanted for his weekend. But I did my best to stay positive, despite the comments he made in frustration and negativity of the situation, and told him things would be okay.
THAT is the HARDEST thing to do! STAY POSITIVE, especially when you have NO IDEA how to fix the problem, where to take the car to be fixed, to trust they will fix it and not rip you off AND how to afford it. BUT . . . "faith without works is dead." So I CHOSE to stay positive and hopeful and told him it would be okay. I encouraged him with the blessings I had been thinking of earlier (that the kids were safe, there was food to eat and him going to his meeting was okay because the traffic would stop him from helping me). I knew that eventually I would get home, so having him leave for his meeting would be just fine. That was another blessing. He cared about me and wanted my safety. It never occurred to me that he prayed for me, but he did this morning, thanking Heavenly Father for my safe return and asking for help with the car. See, our good example does rub off on others and offers them a second option, other than negativity and frustration, when faced with a problem.
After filling the car up with water, it cooled down quickly and I was on the road again, but I BARELY made it home before the car hit boiling point. Thankfully I was safe and sound and Paul was still home, just finishing up a bowl of the mac & cheese I had left over from lunch the day before. He gobbled up a meatball or two, suggesting the kids and I reheat the mac & cheese to go with the meatballs, instead of the rice I was about to make, and left for his meeting.
Instead of battling with the idea of whether to cook rice or not, I opted to get the mac & cheese eaten and heated it up, along with some broccoli hybrid cauliflower that tasted pretty great. Dinner was ready in less than 10 minutes and we ate. With me being exhausted, this was a HUGE blessing! We also enjoyed the maracuya drink I had made the day before and it made for the perfect meal. We had a fun discussion and enjoyed each other's company but my eyelids were closing on me; I needed to get to bed. I looked at the clock and it was barely 6:00 pm. I was shocked I was so wiped out but it hit me, I had been driven for 4 hours. That is a LONG day!
We cleaned up our meal and gathered for our evening family time of singing one of the 300 hymns we have to enjoy, reading the scriptures (one verse in Spanish and English) and family prayers. I cherish these days because they will not stay like this forever. I also cherish them because this morning and night routine was NOT EASY to begin. I literally thought I was messing up royally because our kids fought us on it . . . OUR kids. You know, the kids you all say are so amazing, and kind, and sweet, and have a light about them. THEY didn't want to do this. . . but after 2 years (yes people, 2 years) we are having cherished moments that make it worth it. (and then the next morning we are back to square one. Isn't that just life?)
So after a hug goodnight and making sure things are set for the night, I headed up the stairs for a quick shower to wash off the yucky sweat from sitting in a baking car (no AC when your car is overheating) for 2 hours. My body was achy and I just needed to curl up in bed and go to sleep . . . but it was barely 7 pm. Not a good idea with a rise time of 5:30 a.m. So I opted to watch a show and rest until Paul came home and we both fell asleep just after 9 p.m.
All in all, it was a FANTASTIC DAY and I will cherish the fact that I GOT to see my friend Dayna, got home safely in my car and had dinner all ready to go for my cute family. There ARE blessings all around us. . . the question is if we are taking the time to look for them and then write them down. I recommended this challenge to a sweet friend of mine today. She too just moved from Utah to a new state and is learning to adjust to a new life with her husband and 2 little girls. I hoped this challenge would help lift her burdens a bit higher off her shoulders and bring her the joy and happiness that I am experiencing participating in it. Life isn't always roses and butterflies but it is worth looking for them each day and IF you see one, celebrate it! That is God's love in physical form. He loves you! I love you!!
Happy Weekend!

The VIMO Technology Joint Stock Company (Vimo.vn) has officially cooperated with the Southern Airports Services Joint Stock Company (SASCO) to launch electronic payment services for Asian tourists traveling in Vietnam.
The service allows travelers to use WeChat Pay e-wallets paid for in Vietnam dong at SASCO's booths at Tan Son Nhat International Airport in Ho Chi Minh City via QR code scanning on mobile phones.
From January 1, Asian travelers will be able to use electronic payments in Vietnamese currency at some SASCO Duty Free stores and SASCO Shops at the international terminal. The service supports foreign customers paying with WeChat Pay electronic accounts installed on mobile phones to scan QR code codes and make payments quickly.
The advantage of QR codes is that the customer does not need to carry a wallet nor multiple cards and need not worry about their card information while making payments.
SASCO is the leader in airport services in Vietnam, with a network of duty-free shops, retail outlets, business class lounges, and food chains. "SASCO is always ahead of the trends, leveraging technology to optimize business models and bring convenience, good quality products, and competitive prices to customers," said Mr. Nguyen Van Hung Cuong, Deputy General Director of SASCO.
VIMO e-wallet is the first payment intermediary in Vietnam to allow travelers to use WeChat Pay e-wallets paid for in VND at VIMO-accepting shops when traveling in Vietnam. It has nearly 500 stores accepting payments by WeChat Pay, including more than 50 stores of seven corporations at five international airports with direct flights to and from China.
General Director of VIMO, Mr. Do Cong Dien, believes that, in the time to come, it will expand its cooperation with even more units and shops, providing convenient payments for foreign visitors as well as boosting revenue.
Vietnam is one of the most attractive destinations in the region for Chinese tourists, with an estimated 3.5 million arrivals and turnover of nearly $3 billion in 2017. It is hoped that VIMO's development cooperation with business units around the country will build a secure, convenient non-cash payment environment for international travelers in general and Chinese travelers in particular.

Authentic Armenian cuisine
To make it easier to choose in every menu part we present the dishes that responsibly represent Armenian cuisine and are most lauded by visitors. True country kitchen you will find in a bowl of Haslama soup. It is a thick, spicy, meat-based cooked soup, made with aubergines, sweet and spicy peppers, potatoes and Armenian herbs.
For a light snack choose an unusual flavor salad "Araks". It is made from cooked beef, cut into thin long pieces, mixed with sweet red peppers and several varieties of herbs and spices. Salad is served with spicy sauce.
Smoke smell and steaks on the coals – such you won't find anywhere else in Vilnius
According to the restaurant's manager Eringa, the dish, that represents restaurant "Araks" the best is lamb khorovats "IKI-BIR". "No one else has such khorovats in Vilnius, maybe even in all Lithuania. It is served strung onto small skewers. One person is served two skewers, but it also can be served for four people with eight ones. From a simple mutton khorovats it differs that there are small pieces of meat without bone, strung on a skewer alternately with lamb bacon pieces and potatoes. When cooking bacon releases fat on potatoes and this highly seasons the dish" – restaurant manager shares the secrets of the restaurant's specialty. All restaurant's khorovats are baked on the coals, and vegetable khorovats - on a live fire.
The professionals in the kitchen are working here since the opening of the restaurant nearly 10 years ago, so the quality and taste are maintained.
Armenia in the kitchen and in bar
The traditional flavor lovers will find white and red Armenian wines, that have already earned awards in Lithuania held up the best wines elections. What is the Armenian restaurant without Armenian brandy? In restaurant Araks you can choose brandy from a 3 and 5 stars "Ararat" brandy, ten years of maturing "Akhtamar" and at least 20 years of maturing "Nairi" brandy. Non-traditional flavors lovers will enjoy tasting Armenian vodka – from mulberry and cornel berries.
Sitting by the richly loaded table – is the time for communication and enjoy life. And any dropped into the Armenian house, will never go out hungry. Have delicious and hearty discoveries in restaurant Araks

It might be winter, but somewhere in the world the sun is shining and the glistening waves are beckoning. Take a leaf out of Gray Malin's book, and plan your next escape to one of his all-time favorite beaches.
Few people have seen the world quite like Gray Malin. The famed aerial photographer's 9-to-5 is a far cry from a typical desk job. His "office" is a helicopter, his tool of the trade is a Canon camera, and his goal is to chase the sun, venturing to some of the most picturesque places on earth to photograph them from above.
Malin's new book, "Escape" (Amazon $31), takes him to some of the most exquisite patches of sand we've ever seen, from Bora Bora, French Polynesia, to Byron Bay, Australia. It spurred us to ask him: Of all the beaches you've visited and photographed during your career, what's the most beautiful?
Ahead the talented artist and eternal traveler indulges us with this bucket list, revealing his favorite tropical getaways and the insider travel tips he's learned along the way.
Bora Bora, French Polynesia
"I went to Bora Bora in April of 2016 to shoot my private collection series, Art of Living, which was released in October of the same year. Although very focused on accomplishing the project, I also made time to explore Bora Bora. Visiting this island oasis is a serious once-in-a-lifetime experience, and I would recommend it to anyone who'd listen.
"The key thing to do while in Bora Bora is to enjoy every moment of it. It's definitely a place where you want to immerse yourself in your environment because it's truly that stunning."
Lake Como, Italy
"I visited Lake Como, Italy, for the first time this summer. It had been on my list for a very long time, and it did not disappoint. Driving to Lake Como, located in Northern Italy just outside of Milan, you will quite literally exclaim 'it's gorgeous!' as it begins to come into view. I know I did.
"For a completely first-class experience from the moment you step through its doors. I recommend staying at Grand Hotel Tremezzo, and if you really want to spare no expense, request the Bellagio Corner Suite, as it provides an exclusive view of the 'pearl of the lake,' also known as the town of Bellagio."
Byron Bay, Australia
"I've been to Australia numerous times, but I went to Byron Bay, Australia, for the first time (and only time, so far) in January of this year. Once a sleepy coastal town with an alternative hippie lifestyle, this secluded surf-happy beach community is now a vibrant notable destination for the trendsetting crowd. The locals say Byron has a special ethereal spirit that relaxes anyone who visits. Upon arrival, I immediately understood.
"The perfect day in Byron Bay is, to begin the day with a morning walk to the Cape Byron Lighthouse followed by breakfast at Harvest Café. In the afternoon, hit the beach! If you find yourself here and you have never surfed, I really think it'll be the time to seize the day. There are quite a few surf lesson options, so no excuses. For those who do surf, one of the best places to paddle out is The Pass, Byron Bay."
Camps Bay, South Africa
"I've said it before, and I'll say it again: I love South Africa. The country has everything from stunning beaches to beautiful wine country and of course, epic safari adventures.
"The first time I went there was for my honeymoon in 2013, and I have been back two more times. The most recent being for my 30th birthday last year. We stayed at Cape View Clifton, and it's the best place to stay, in my opinion. Aside from incredible service, beautiful rooms, and delicious food, this hotel offers the absolute best views of Clifton Beach. I wouldn't blame you if you simply wanted to sit outside on the deck from morning coffee to sunset sips.
"You should definitely get out and explore, though. One unique place to visit is Camps Bay Pool, which is part swimming pool, part ocean rock pool, and is definitely worth a visit!"
Capri, Italy
"My first time visiting the Amalfi Coast was in 2013, and I made the mistake of only doing a day trip to Capri. Though I enjoyed my time, I highly encourage people to stay on Capri to really experience its many treasures. I've since been back a few times, but the most memorable trip was in the summer of 2015, as I traveled quite extensively throughout the entire country and made sure to devote ample time to Capri.
"There are a few amazing spots to spend your days on Capri, but my absolute favorite is La Fontelina Restaurant and Beach Club. Walking down an unforgettable windy pathway, you can see the beach club's navy-and-white umbrellas dotting the rocks below and the famous Il Faraglioni islands in the distance."
Hamptons, USA
"I can't pick a favorite part of the Hamptons, but I can definitely confirm that my personal favorite time to be in the Hamptons is over Memorial Day weekend. I think it's safe to say this is everyone's unofficial kickoff weekend to summer, and the Hamptons really personifies the thrill of early summer days.
"One of my favorite activities to do is rent a bike (with a basket, of course) at Rotations bike shop. Take a bike ride along Gin Lane for views of the ocean and the amazing homes.

The Triune God, A Video Study
Format: DVD video
Vendor: Zondervan
Publication Date: May 16, 2017
Dimensions: 7.50 × 5.25 (inches)
In The Triune God, A Video Study, theologian Fred Sanders offers thoughtful, concise, and understandable lessons that explore the biblical, creedal, and confessional shape of the doctrine of the Trinity.
In particular, Sanders secures knowledge of the triune God in rightly ordered theological language. He presents conclusions about the Trinity based on the way the Trinity was revealed in Scripture. As such, this study offers theological principles for reading Scripture in a thoroughly Trinitarian manner. In contrast to other explorations of the Trinity that rush over the biblical discussion on the way to extended accounts of historical development, Sanders spends a significant amount of time on biblical exposition and drawing the theological implications from it.
Throughout Sanders interacts with major voices from the history of the doctrine. His arguments are indebted to and informed by the great tradition of Trinitarianism. A healthy deference to doctrinal tradition is indispensable to serious theology, and this study is an exercise in retrieval. But the fitting way to retrieve the insights of the church fathers is not to pay more attention to them than to Scripture. The most patristic way to proceed toward a well-ordered doctrine of the Trinity is, after all, to study Scripture.
The Triune God, A Video Study is part of The Zondervan Beyond the Basics Video Series, which is dedicated to bringing expert teaching from world's best theologians and biblical scholars directly to interested leaders. The Triune God, A Video Study offers the chance to learn about one of the central tenets of the Christian faith from one of today's premier theologians.

…… And Lexie !
I want to tell the story of my friends Ross & Beth who will get married in the next 2018 in Italy and this is a little bit of them… + Lexie in Greenwich Park, London: the place where Ross made the proposal. Well I know Beth ( Elisabetta ) since we were little ankle-biters. She is Italian, we grow up in the same spot and we always had something in common I guess : stubborn heads and determined in everything we want and in what we don't want ! Six years ago she jump up to London and started building her life here. One day she met Ross, and amazing amazing AMAZING human being from Scotland. The way he is full of attentions for her, protecting and loving. How he remember every single detail of the good and bad times of their life together it really touch me. And I must say that… they quarrel amazingly, I could stay hours looking and listening at them fight for the common things !
Living in their house for a while I have seen the most sweet and funny squabble ever and I will NEVER NEVER forget "fluffy flaffy land" or something like that…( Lol ☆ ).
Sorry Ross, I shouldn't talk about it ahhahaha !
So this are Ross and Beth: A special man who want to spend his life looking after the woman he loves. And a Woman ( and her messy issues ) who has found her place in this world next to this man.
And Lexie !!
Love you guys

Okay, okay… so it has been pretty much two months since my last "daily" photo. I've been taking plenty of pictures, but I haven't gotten around to doing the editing and post creating for each day.
Today's photo is an owl pillow art project. It comes from Orb Factory. Xander even helped me do the fabric punching and we had a lot of fun. I'll be sharing my review for their company in the next few days as part of the Holiday Gift Guide.
Around the owl's neck is a necklace I received today from Origami Owl. It's one of those things that just showed up and I don't know where it came from. I didn't set up a review with them and I don't recall signing up for anything. I don't know how they got my address. Very strange, but I love the necklace. Perhaps I should ask to do a review for them!

2012-2018 - The Kuma Computer Center (CIK)
2014 - The "Raspberry Pi" computer lab in Kuma Adamé
|The "Raspberry Pi" computer lab set up on the grounds of the Middle School (CEG) in K. Adamé has been in use since July 2014. It is accessible to about 200 young students.
It was the first "Raspberry Pi" computer lab in Togo, and one of the first in West Africa.
Initially equipped with 21 first generation Raspberry Pi (Model B), it is a testimony of the reliability of nano-computers in a tropical school environment. In 3 years, we had to re-clone a few SD cards, but not a single computer failed, despite temperature, humidity and dust conditions that are far from ideal...
In August 2017, we decided to replace the 21 Raspberry Pi Model B with more recent RP2 and RP3, in order to upgrade the lab to the same performance level as the others.
A small local server facilitates file sharing and hosts a local web server (with Moodle and WordPress) as well as a Kiwix server with the full content of Wikipedia in four languages (French, English, Spanish and German), a copy of the Gutenberg Collection (tens of thousands of public domain ebooks in French and in English), as well as several hundred educational videos (including "C'est-pas-Sorcier", etc.)
2016 - The "Raspberry Pi" computer lab at the Collège Polyvalent in Kpalimé
|In July 2016,INITIC installed a third computer lab, at the Collège Polyvalent Saint-Esprit in Kpalimé ; it has been used regularly since October 2016 by over 400 M/HS students...
The lab is equipped with 25 computers, including 22 Raspberry Pi and a few laptops used for specific tasks.
It is equipped with the same small local server than the other labs, a projector, a projection screen, a network laser printer and several scanners.
