The other problem is getting the “jingle bells” and “frosty the snowman” tunes out of my head. They’ll dissipate in the next few days, but every year they get seared into my brain for weeks.
One thing that we did get this year was lots of pictures or at least mental images of Vegas in [...]
Here are some of the better cities I’ve visited outside of Madrid in Spain, with a short commentary on each:Granada- Old city with heavy Arabic influence definitely worth a visit. Check out the Alhambra, the Albaicin (the old Arab quarter), the Turkish baths, and the main drag off of the main plaza. Most bars give out free tapas if you purchase a drink (even soda), and the tapas in Granada are m
step 1: put all the coats, hats, snow pants, scarves, hats, boots, gloves... you can find. see those hooks behind Josiah? When the boys are in the house those hooks are overflowing with winter gear.step 2: make a huge mess looking for the scarf, gloves, hat that makes you comfortable. this usually takes at least three tries.when you finally make it outside, make the most of your time...Because
Well, I try hard to not get hostile, but since a certain Turkish Muslim would-be hacker (he really is nothing but an annoyance), continues to remind me of the threat to our future by harassing me, allow me to post this link for Google Maps. You can bookmark it and keep track as the [...]
Here's a snapshot from Obcanska plovarna (which is actually better in summer as it is right at the river). If you look carefully you can see a girl holding microphone. That's Agata Hanychova - our own Czech version of Paris Hilton girl. Now you know just one more thing about Czech Republic that your friends don't know. For sure :)There's also the newest club in Prague called Prdel. At Zitna street
There is no consideration as this hearse is seen every single day parked outside the Yambol Hospital. All visitors have to walk past it to see their ill friends or relatives. It must be a worrying moment as they are reminded of the the possibilities of the hearse being hired. Sometimes I see a dead body in the back (in a uncovered coffin) whilst the driver parks up to get a coffee from the shop op
By JR RooneyWhen you find yourself in a situation that may lead to larger complications down the road, you try to find the fastest and most headache-free solution to the problem. It is always the best way to nip the problem in the bud before it even starts. The same principle applies when you're dealing with accounts that have lagged on payments, whose checks have bounced, who have totally stoppe

You really thought that this post was going to be about how cold it is here in Indiana. It’s snowy and freezing inside and out. Being sick and having uncontrollable shivers is not helping. I cannot wait until that doctors office opens tomorrow! I could even tell you about how the forecast calls for snow, [...]
Work was tough today. I got home about an hour late after dealing with some stressful patient/family issues. When I left the hospital it was already starting to snow a little and now it's beginning to accumulate. I love snow! It was fun to drive home in the flurries. Kind of made me feel like a little kid. I took the pooches outside to check things out and they were especially frisky :o)Now I

We both played outside for about 20 minutes (it was so cold) and I had to bribe her to come in with hot cocoa. I am so happy she loves it now. I hate being cold but when that little face is plastered against the window and then she turns and looks at you an

Thinking outside of the box
How to differentiate between thinking that comes from the mind and thought that comes from the brain.
We live in a world dominated by thought, our brains taking in information at such great rates. Not many people stop to think of where thought comes from. They really just take it for granted [...]

Peanut butter has been a pantry and sandwich staple in households for generations. However this beloved American icon is more than a spread destined to partner with jelly. Peanut butter is also a nutrient dense food that is sometimes overlooked as part of a healthy lifestyle. Incorporating peanut butter into a variety of dishes and snacks can help add important nutrients to one's diet.One serving

My mind today is set upon "thinking outside the box". You know, too often we try to box our Christianity into "our" ways of thinking and our expressions of worship into what we are comfortable with. When something comes along that is a little different, we put it down and say that it can't be done that way.
Along those lines, are we changing our methods to fit into what the world would feel
The brother of the woman found dead outside Paula Abdul's house earlier this week is blaming the "American Idol" judge for sending his sister on a downward spiral.30-year-old Paula Goodspeed was found dead in her car parked near Abdul's Los Angeles home on Tuesday. The media have discovered that she was a big fan of the singer/dancer and that she had auditioned for the hit talent show in 2005, onl
So, here’s the second part of the series, where we compare exercising on machines, or out in the open. In Part 1 of this series, we considered 3 points between treadmills and running outside. At the end of the 3 points, treadmills were winning 2:1 against running outside. Let’s continue to find out, which is [...]
Earth seems to have its first fuzzy photos of alien planets outside our solar system, images captured by two teams of astronomers. The pictures show four likely planets that appear as specks of white, nearly indecipherable except to the most eagle-eyed experts. All are trillions of miles away — three of them orbiting the same star, and the fourth circling a different star.
The eternal cardio question- Is is better to run on a treadmill or to run outside, on the ground?
Can a machine really simulate the motion, and exertion of the real movement? Or to take it further- can it be better that the real movement? So, lets compare running on treadmills and running on the ground, [...]
A former American Idol contestant apparently infatuated with Paula Abdul was found dead Tuesday night in a car near Abdul's Los Angeles house.Paula Goodspeed, 30, a Season 5 contender whose audition performance of "Proud Mary" was panned and mocked by the judges, appears to have died of a drug overdose, police say."Ms. Goodspeed's mother had gone to [the sheriff's department] to report her daughte
This is such a sad, sad story. I found this on another blog. Apparently she sat out front of Paula Abdul’s home and committed suicide. An autopsy is being conducted on the ex-American Idol contestant.

Pumpkin Crème Brûlée three ways. I've wanted to try this for awhile now, and with pumpkin season upon us, I thought this would be a good time to give it a go.

Yet if you’re in high school, college or your first job – you might want to consider saying yes to

On August 26th, I wrote a post entitled Outside the Rain.

I like to walk on the wild side. If you have read this blog before, you know the topics are often on exploring personal achievement, motivation, the power of thought, the subconscious mind, and we dive into the spiritual realm some.

The Dow made it over the li
To really understand a place, you have to see it from many different angles – night versus day, summer versus winter, up close versus far away, etc. While most people choose to avoid San José, I’m determined to explore it inside and out to find a seed of charm. After the Cow Parade, it seems as though many people have rediscovered San Jose’s center—hopefully a sign of better times ahead.

Perhaps the most demanding question that can be asked of any architect is to invent a building to suit a new purpose, and the provision of an adequate, even seemly, answer is indeed an architectural feat. From the beginning of the fourth century a.d., congregational worship by large numbers of people needed a hall, and the Roman basilica—a civil law court—became one model for churches in weste

Outdoor water fountains are the ideal solu

Jill Greenberg for Outside MagazineForget what the mags with the shirtless, six-packed dudes on the cover tell you. Fitness is not about 20-inch guns and 10-minute full-body workouts. Nor is it about miracle diets or flashy sponsorships. And it's certainly not about looking good at the gym. Fitness is about living at your peak, no matter what stands in your way. It's about obeying the alarm clock,

Am I right?

So how can I ever try to be better?
