The 18 Characteristics Of Happy People
In order to be happy, we should make happiness our ultimate goal. If attitude is truly everything, then being happy is definitely a choice. Although most people would argue against that, I could still declare that being glad and staying glad is my choice. If the truth be told, “If it was that easy everybody will do it.
Everybody will jump straight out of bed and enthusiastically scream, “Good morning, Oh God,” instead of what most would scream like, “My God, it is morning.” The art of being happy involves dedication, concentration and constant injection of inspiration. Undoubtedly, negative people around the world yielded plenty. Not only people but there are also lots of things and places that drain our energy that may diminish our happiness.
I have been doing some research lately on joyful and cheerful people and listed below in no particular order, the characteristics of happy people. 1.) Happy people have also happy friends. 2.) They know how to stand their ground and speak for themselves when they feel or think they are not treated properly.
3.) They live with integrity; they're honest and sincere with others and with themselves and they live their values. 4.) They often listen to music. 5.) They really are thankful for what they have. They recognize their blessings that come their way and constantly show appreciation and gratitude. 6.) They receive and likewise share lots of love, compassion and affection.
7.) Mostly happy people sleep better. 8.) They eat well and also focus on feeding their body with high quality food. 9.) They're patient with people and things around them. 10.) They're excited—they always have something to look forward to everyday and welcome the new and exciting adventures that life has in store for them.
11.) They simply want the best not just for them but also for people around them. 12.) They have a regular exercise or workout regimen. 13.) They are naturally optimistic--they try to practice the fine art of altering negative circumstance to put a positive twist in them. 14.) They know how to live their passion.
They know their purpose on this earth and at this time they know their true calling. 15.) They readily forgive themselves and do not severely beat up on themselves for unavoidable mistakes. 16.) They consistently try to learn new things and are open to fresh and new ideas. 17.) They fully understand the significance of self care and well being and make sure that they constantly work toward strengthening their mental health and fitness.
18.) They understand the power of praying because they are spiritual. They believe that through constant prayer, all things are possible and attainable. How about you—why don't you take this happy quiz now and find out if you're happy. Try putting a check mark next to the characteristics that describe your personality.
Pay attention to the areas you didn’t check. Then ask yourself seriously, “Now, what am I going to do about that?” Again the art of being happy takes action, focus and the perception of optimism.
A Brief History of Mountaineering
Mountaineering is considered a sport by many and involves hiking, climbing, or simply walking on mountain terrain. It is very different from rock climbing. In European countries, it is often referred to as Alpinism, though that is not common vernacular in the United States. Originally, mountaineering was simply based on people's desire to reach the highest peaks of mountains, but over the years, has evolved into different disciplines that require different degrees of training and skill.
There are three main terrains that mountaineers encounter when climbing: snow, glaciers, and ice. All of them are difficult to traverse on foot, and many modern mountaineers choose to use mechanical equipment to help them get around. Snow is the easiest to deal with on foot, though only certain snow conditions can be traveled by foot. Many people choose to use crampons, snow shoes, or even skis to climb mountains when they are covered in snow. That said, the use of skis actually evolved into a sport of its own - ski mountaineering.
Glacier trekking requires very different equipment, due to different risks. Crevasses are a huge potential danger when it comes to glaciers, especially because it is sometimes difficult to see the holes in the ice. Crampons and ice axes are essential equipment for glacier climbing. It is rare for anyone to climb a glacier without a backup team, as the potential of falling into a crevasse is too high - and it is nearly impossible for someone to recover from a fall like that without assistance.
Simple ice is approached in many different ways. Ice screws or pickets are often used to help on steep terrain.
When mountaineering, it is important to consider shelter. There are many different kinds of shelters that a mountain climber could choose to use, such as a hut, a bivouac, a tent, or a snow cave. On some mountains, there are actually staffed huts where guests can rest over night and enjoy food and drink.
Climbing mountains is extremely dangerous and requires an understanding of the dangers if it is to be remotely safe. Many mountain climbers have faced falling rocks when climbing - these are most commonly caused by erosion of the surface of the mountain. Rocks can fall at any time, though when the mountain is cold and iced over, the risk is somewhat controlled, as the ice tends to hold loose rocks in place. When choosing a camping spot, it is important to look at the ground and make sure that there are not fallen rocks or rock debris in the area. This is a sign that it is a falling rock area, and potentially very dangerous.
Falling ice is another danger that rock climbers face. The effect is similar to a fallen rock situation - only ice can be extremely sharp and cause further injuries. The biggest danger of falling ice occurs when the weather suddenly shifts from extreme cold to above freezing and/or the sun shines on a weaker piece of ice.
Avalanches are a huge concern for climbers. Avalanches are caused when a significant amount of snow or ice breaks free from the solid sheet and begins a downward fall. This will move as one single piece, and is considered more dangerous than a loose snow avalanche, where smaller amounts of snow come together to form a larger slab. That said, it is still a danger and could cause significant damage to a climber.
Men have been climbing mountains since the early days, in an attempt to conquer nature. That said, it is important to be aware of the dangers of the sport and to always climb with one or more people - particularly if you are inexperienced.

A PEARfectly Fun Snack For Kids
(NC)—Looking for ways to incorporate healthy foods into your kid's snacks that they will actually want to eat? Sweet and juicy fresh pears are a versatile and yummy addition to a lot of childrens' favorite snack foods. Fresh USA Pears are loaded with good-for-you stuff like Vitamin C, potassium and fiber, but they are so sweet that your child won't guess they are eating a very healthy fruit. Pears contain levulose, one of the sweetest known sugars, making them a good alternative to processed sweets since an average size pear has only 100 calories and no saturated fat. You can find a gallery of great kid's recipes and games at www.usapears.com.
In the meantime, here are a few quick and easy ways to add fresh pears to your child's snack menu:
• Add fresh sliced pears to peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.
• Top a bowl of frozen low-fat vanilla or chocolate yogurt with wedges of fresh pears.
• Sprinkle chopped pears on hot or cold cereal.
• Halve and core a fresh pear. Fill up the center with one of your child's favorite soft foods. (Jelly/jam, caramel or chocolate sauces are tops on our topping list!)
• Tie pieces of "string cheese" around fresh slices of pears

Hobby Ideas
There are as many hobbies as there are ideas. A hobby can be any leisure activity you pursue outside of your work or career. Hobbies can range from raising fish to or growing algae in your fish tank to watching the stars through a telescope. A hobby can be anything you want it to be. It can be anything you want to do. Hobbies are limitless. Just think of all of the things you have ever wanted to do, and start doing them in any small way you can. You can read books about it. For some people reading books may even be a hobby. Studying and researching various things may be a hobby. Some people are just curious and want to know everything.
I have many different interests in my life. Because of this, it took me a long time to choose a major in college. My freshman year, I was a music major, but I never wanted to pursue music as a career. It was not that I did not like music, I loved it, but it was something I wanted to do as a hobby instead. I really like astronomy, and thought of majoring in physics and astronomy; I found it was something I also enjoyed a lot, but I decided to have those be hobbies as well. I ended up majoring in Political Science, with minors in Russian and Business. For some people, what I studied in college is a hobby for them. Some people love to participate in politics as a hobby; others love to learn foreign languages as a hobby or personal interest; and some people like to pursue business as a hobby - this is especially evident by those who follow the stock market and invest their money as a hobby. Investing in the stock market is a hobby I enjoy myself.
Some women like to grow plants and flower gardens as their hobbies. Men also like to work in the garden or yard as a way to get away from work. There is something relaxing about working in the dirt or soil. I actually read once in a popular science magazine that there is actually a chemical in the soil that makes people feel good. It is no wonder that some people enjoy working in the yard and garden so much. It really does make you feel good.
Camping is a hobby that many people also enjoy. I know some people who just cannot stay out of the outdoors. They always want to be up in the mountains or out at the lake. Some love to fish, some love to hunt, some love to trap, while others just like to look at the scenery and take pictures. Photography itself is a popular hobby for many people and the possibilities there are endless also with all of the sceneries and backgrounds to take pictures of, from city life to the mountains and backcountry.
Travel may be your hobby. Some people just like to see new things and visit new places they have never been before. I met one family who said they just could not be happy. They could not find what they liked until they began to travel. That is what made them happy, going and seeing the world, visiting new, diverse, and exotic places. The possibilities there are endless too. A new place for many people is often an hour or just a little more away. Think of all of the places you would like to visit and which ones are feasible and start visiting them. Figure out how to make the other places and hobbies feasible in the long run. In the meantime, bring your hobby ideas to life at the online hobby store and more.

I ended up majoring in Political Science, with minors in Russian and Business. For some people, what I studied in college is a hobby for them. Some people love to participate in politics as a hobby; others love to learn foreign languages as a hobby or personal interest; and some people like to pursue business as a hobby - this is especially evident by those who follow the stock market and invest their money as a hobby. Investing in the stock market is a hobby I enjoy myself.
Some women like to grow plants and flower gardens as their hobbies. Men also like to work in the garden or yard as a way to get away from work. There is something relaxing about working in the dirt or soil. I actually read once in a popular science magazine that there is actually a chemical in the soil that makes people feel good. It is no wonder that some people enjoy working in the yard and garden so much. It really does make you feel good.
Camping is a hobby that many people also enjoy. I know some people who just cannot stay out of the outdoors. They always want to be up in the mountains or out at the lake. Some love to fish, some love to hunt, some love to trap, while others just like to look at the scenery and take pictures. Photography itself is a popular hobby for many people and the possibilities there are endless also with all of the sceneries and backgrounds to take pictures of, from city life to the mountains and backcountry.
Travel may be your hobby. Some people just like to see new things and visit new places they have never been before. I met one family who said they just could not be happy. They could not find what they liked until they began to travel. That is what made them happy, going and seeing the world, visiting new, diverse, and exotic places. The possibilities there are endless too. A new place for many people is often an hour or just a little more away. Think of all of the places you would like to visit and which ones are feasible and start visiting them. Figure out how to make the other places and hobbies feasible in the long run. In the meantime, bring your hobby ideas to life at the online hobby store and more.

What Causes Incontinence in Dogs and What Can I Do About it?
Incontinence in dogs is usually associated with old age but it can happen to dogs of any age. Older dogs have it when their urinary sphincter becomes weak and they cannot hold their urine in. Younger dogs can get it due to birth defects.
Urinary incontinence in dogs can be treated however. First, it's important to figure out what the underlying cause is by taking your dog to the vet, who will do some tests. There are serious illnesses that can cause continence so it's important to get your dog diagnosed first and foremost.
Incontinence in dogs that is caused by bacterial infection, bladder stones, or old age can be effectively treated with conventional medicine such as antibiotics and natural approaches such as homeopathy, diet, water, and exercise. lifestyle change is the key to alleviating this issue in dogs.
If you have any commercial dog food, either consider preparing your dog's meals at home or switch to a high quality organic premium brand. Commercial dog foods, particularly dry foods, are laden with excessive amounts of carbohydrates and minerals. Also, the lack of moisture in dry foods doesn't help.
When there are too many minerals and carbohydrates in your pet's food, they cause the pH balance of his urinary tract to get thrown off. This can lead to infection and thus urinary incontinence in dogs.
Incontinence in dogs can also be prevented by making sure your dog gets plenty of water. Don't give too much water to your dog however if he has polydipsia. This is a condition that causes your dog to drink excessive amounts of water for no particular reason.
Water is good because it flushes out bacteria and keeps your dog's urine flow healthy. It helps if your dog is suffering from incontinence due to bacterial infection or urinary stones.
Last but certainly not least, homeopathy is essential in treating incontinence. Homeopathic remedies that contain cantharis and uva ursi strengthen your dog's urinary tract and bladder. They get rid of infections and stones and also help your dog hold his urine in better. It also helps the body to help itself by keeping urine at the optimal PH for fighting infection.
Homeopathic remedies are gentle enough to be given to your dog every day. In fact, you want to aim at daily treatment since that will help prevent incontinence in dogs and keep your pup in optimal health.
Why not give it a shot? You really have nothing to lose. You have quite a lot to gain since homeopathy is totally safe and affordable. Not to mention the other lifestyle changes mentioned here are easy to implement and effective too.
Say goodbye to incontinence in dogs by incorporating these tips! You will be impressed with the results.

Great Yorkie Information: History, Care, And Hybrids
Here is a quick summary of great Yorkie information that will hopefully give you the knowledge you need to care for this great breed. As you may known, Yorkies are one of our nation’s favorite dog breeds. In fact according to the latest statistics from the American kennel Club they are the second most popular dog breed. Yorkies have a fascinating history and caring for them is fairly easy, but they are prone to a few problems to watch out for.
Yorkies originated from Yorkshire England. Its early ancestors were actually Scottish terriers and other early terriers that were brought into Northern England by Scottish immigrants looking for work.
These smaller dogs were used for rat control, which a major threat to human health back then because they spread diseases like the plague. Eventually these breeds were bred together and the dog that we know today as the Yorkie emerged.
Yorkies are classified as a toy breed dog due to their small size. There average is only about 7 pounds. But don’t let this small size fool you, these dogs can be very aggressive and make good watch dogs.
These dogs are mainly black and tan and their coat does require some grooming. Yorkie information from experienced groomers say that we need to trim their coat about once a month to keep it out of their eyes and from dragging on the ground.
Yorkies shed very little due to the type of their coats. These dogs are less allergenic than other breeds of dogs and would work well in houses where people might have dog allergies.
Like other dogs, they are require a high quality dog food and plenty of fresh clean water to keep them healthy. Yearly checkups at the veterinary clinic should be part of their regular health care regimen.
Younger Yorkies are prone to certain problems though. Due to their small size and little amount of body fat these dogs can get a condition known as hypoglycemia, which is low blood sugar. If your dog does have this condition it appears as listless and can appear to be in a coma. Immediate medical attention is needed at this point.
Genetic information on Yorkies tells us that they are prone to a condition known as hydrocephalus, which is where they have a large accumulation of fluid in their brain.
This condition is fatal. However some milder forms of hydrocephalus are actually desired by some people and some breeders sell these dogs as apple head Yorkies.
Due to the Yorkie popularity it is crossed with many other breeds of dogs. Some examples are the Shih Tzu (Shorkie Tzu), the Toy fox terrier (Torkie), the Biewer (Biewer Yorkie), and the Cocker Spaniel (Corkie). These are just a few of the Yorkie hybrids recognized by the American Canine Hybrid Club.
As you can see from this Yorkie information, they are an ever growing and popular breed of dog. With their growing popularity it seems inevitable that they will soon take over as the most popular dog breed in American soon.
The impact of globalisation and its consequences for the individual and society
When we think of the term globalisation, we think of it as a popular phrase that is coined by the media, the government and in society to describe the state of affairs; in what Anthony Giddens, a renowned British Sociologist describes as the "period of late modernity". In this investigation we will firstly look at exactly what globalisation is from an economic, technological and socio-political perspective. Secondly we will look at the origins of globalisation and the impact globalisation has had upon the individual and society. We will then look at the advantages and disadvantages globalisation has had.
Finally we will then draw conclusions based upon the ramifications that globalisation has had from a social, economic and political viewpoint.
Globalisation can be described as a "process by which regional economies, societies and cultures have become integrated through a globe-spanning network of communication and trade". Globalisation can be thought of as the 'coming together' of nations to form a global community. Barriers to trade are broken down (such as with the GATT agreement), capital controls are reduced or abolished and transportation costs are reduced such as with the container based ocean shipping. Anthony Giddens (1990: 64) has described globalisation as 'the intensification of worldwide social relations which link distant localities in such a way that local happenings are shaped by events occurring many miles away and vice versa'. This involves a change in the way we understand geography and experience localness.
Globalisation also sees the creation of supranational intellectual property restrictions, for example patents that are recognised from country to country. The phrase the "global village" has been used to describe the result of globalisation, where particularly through technology such as the Internet we have all become inexorably linked. When we look at globalisation we can, it can be argued be mislead into thinking of it as a modern phenomena. It can be said that the origins to globalisation date as far back as the industrial revolution where the social and economic changes in Europe, for example the moving from an agricultural and rural economy to a capitalist economy. This was only made possible due to the technological advancement made during the 12th and 13th centuries.
The development of the European economy it can be said during the industrial revolution was a significant factor in the development of what we now know as Glidden's post modernity version of globalisation. It can be argued that there are principally three main catalysts of globalisation they are:
1) Technological factors 2) Economic factors 3) Political factors
Let us consider the technological factors firstly. The internet that was created in 1973 by the United States defence advanced research projects agency (DARPA) to investigate techniques and technologies for interlinking packet networks of various kinds. It has steadily evolved since then becoming available in the 1980s, becoming more mainstream in the public arena in the early 1990s. The Internet has resulted in an 'explosion' in global communications and information. Through technologies such as email and instant messaging information can be transmitted around the globe virtually instantaneously.
Information is easily accessible online and can be shared easily. What once took days or weeks to share can be shared globally within seconds. people have subsequently become more informed due to the increased availability of information.
The 24 hour media has also been made possible through satellite technology. Events happening in other countries such as the war in Afghanistan can be transmitted around the world on a 24 hour basis to people who have access to a cable or satellite TV service or even the internet. Individuals have become more aware of other news and are aware of events happening elsewhere.
This increased level of awareness during the post modernist era has resulted in the transformation of individuals thinking from the level of the nation state to the global stage. For example during periods of natural disaster such as the earthquake in Haiti there was a collective global response, as it suddenly became a 'problem of the world'. This is because individuals increasingly perceive these situations as a collective response rather than a problem for a single nation state to deal with.
Economic factors have also been a catalyst for globalisation, for example the formation of institutions such as the International Bank for reconstruction; and development of the International monetary fund which has been "on the front lines of lending to countries.
These institutions provided the framework for internal commerce and finance to help the economies of nation states develop. Economic and financial globalisation and the expansion of world trade have brought substantial benefits to countries around the world. The current credit crunch as resulted in globalisation to effectively stand still with capital flows reversing and global trade shrinking due to the reduction in the availability of credit.
Manuel Castells (1996) has argued that in the last twenty years or so of the twentieth century, a new economy emerged around the world. He characterizes it as a new brand of capitalism that has three main features:
1) Productivity and Competitiveness 2) Management and distribution 3) Networks of production
Since the end of the Second World War globalisation has largely been orchestrated by politicians. It can be argued that political factors have been one of the most significant factors in the creation of globalisation. The motivations for creating globalisation were to prevent further world conflict and to break down barriers to trade. In July 1944 a conference was held known as the Bretton Woods conference where 730 delegates from 44 allied national assembled. This is where the plans for the world financial framework were created. Plans were drawn up and agreed to create the international bank for reconstruction and development, the international monetary fund and the general agreement of tariff and trade.
Current globalisation is related to political change across the globe. For example, the collapse of the Soviet Union. Globalisation played a significant part. Greater political, social and economic freedoms instituted by Gorbachev resulted in open criticism of the communist regime. Without free market forces operating in Russia the economy was unable to develop significantly. Since the collapse of communism Russia has been integrated into the global community and has been seen as a valuable trading partner with its vast oil reserves.
Globalisation has seen the development of international and regional mechanisms of government. The European Union and the United Nations are the two most obvious. The European Union has seen not only political integration but economic integration with some member states adopting the single European currency. Trading tariffs do not exist for member states and common European legislation binds members together in political unity.
Globalisation has also seen the rise in IGOs and INGO's. An IGO is a body that is established by governments to give responsibility for a given activity or area, for example with waste disposal. INGOs differ as they are not related or affiliated to any national level of government. INGOs are independent that work alongside government bodies in making policy and addressing international issues. So what has been the impact of globalisation on developed countries? From an economic point of view the Internet has brought about a revolution in how we can trade. Goods can be purchased online and shipped to anywhere in the world. Small businesses have more easily been able to trade online and promote their products and services. This ease of trade has brought about significant wealth particularly for Internet based entrepreneurs such as the founders of Google and Hotmail to mention but a few.
There have been negative impacts though as a results of globalisation. The increase in trading has taken its toll on the environment. Developing countries such as China although have taken advantage of the outsourcing of work there have seen increased levels of pollution. According to the sources china is "opening two coal power stations per week". This is to meet the ever increasing demand for energy needed by industry and domestic customers alike. Other economic consequences as a result of globalisation are the loss of jobs to developing countries such as China and India, where labour costs are cheaper. A lot of American and British based countries opt to have their products manufactured abroad to save money and hence increase profits. The globalisation of the world is stimulating massive amounts of investment by the transnational corporations which are "acting like a dynamo to produce more jobs and higher profits world wide". Often workers rights are not agreed and working conditions of those in developing countries manufacturing work out sourced by that of developed countries is poor. Brands such as Nike often portray a false image. Branded goods are manufactured in the far-east in 'sweat shops' where employees work for very low wages. Jobs are often moved from country to country by large trans national organisations so therefore employees are often only employed on a temporary basis, money therefore flows from one country to the next as factories and jobs are transferred from one to country to the next, with investment being given and taken away.
Globalisation has attributed to the gap between the rich and the poor widening. Unskilled workers suffer mostly in developed economies, as the bargaining power of the worker has been significantly decreased by globalisation. Governments are subsequently being pressured to provide 'safety nets' for unskilled worker in the forms of benefits, by institutions such as the organisation for economic co-operation and development.
In contrast underdeveloped nation states such as India and China are seeing the benefits of globalisation as transnational corporations are keen to take advantage of the vast pools of cheap labour. China, Russia, India and Brazil account for 45% of the world labour supply compared to countries such as the United States, Japan and much of Europe.
So we have seen that globalisation has lead to individuals being exploited in the job markets, but what other impact has globalisation had apart from economic? Certainly the information revolution has lead to more public awareness, global community and responsibility that can only be deemed as a positive consequence to both the individual and society. The internet has emerged as the fastest growing communications tool ever developed. It currently has over 1 billion users. There has been a shift to the global outlook society is more aware of events in other countries due to the increased information flow. It can be argued that those with access to information can potentially be more educated and more informed. Individuals as a result of globalisation and the electronic economy can purchase goods more easily. Money can be transferred more quickly at the 'click of a mouse', business transactions also such as the buying and selling of shares. Social media has evolved around the information age to allow individuals living across the world to keep in touch, by sharing regular updates and photos with friends and loved ones.
Other negative effects of globalisation are the emergence of the 'big brother state' with government institutions able to keep more information about individuals through use of modern technology. Political unity brought about by globalisation such as with the European Union transfers sovereignty away from the nation state into the hands of a central body such as the European parliament. Developing countries such as China have unwelcomed this and have seen this as a negative result of globalisation. Google, the search engine giant was recently asked to censor search results but refused bringing it into confrontation with the country's authorities. To conclude we see that technology and political orchestration have been paramount in bringing about globalisation. It has had a profound effect on developed and undeveloped countries alike, with there being a multitude of advantages and disadvantages ranging from loss of political sovereignty of nation states with the political integration such as the European Union, the creation of jobs in undeveloped countries, the loss of jobs in developed countries and the explosion of information exchange.

Why DO People Get So Bored
Why do we get so bored ? Probably we'll answer the biological call for social interaction or so that we wouldn't even bare the thought of us being "alone", "solitaire", "depressed", "sad" and "frustrated" - these feelings arise sometimes when people are bored. Imagine what technology can do to us? Even though there have been lots of technology advances, which bring to the people, fun and much to think about. But the question is still there, people still get bored, it's natural.
One reason is mentioned above for people being bored, there can be several more that can cause people to get bored. One might think himself helpless if he is not getting what his superiors are expecting him to do. Due to this he may not perform the task properly and might lose his interest and get bored. In contrast one might get the words from his authorities but he still can't overcome boredom because he is sick of doing the same task again and again.
When such stoppage point arrives in one's life and every thing is held where it was one might have to rethink where the fault lies and what should have to be corrected to get out of this bored routine. Otherwise one might stuck to this same awful routine and has nothing to do with.
One can also play games for time killing. These can be PC games or other indoor games that help people get out of stress and make their life more interesting and meaningful. Visiting websites on the internet is another alternative. This provides you a lot of information about the new technologies and other important global issues.
Watching movies can also have a negative impact as well because not all movies are that interesting and held the person in their magic rather person may get bored watching this kind of stuff and may become more stressed. The deficiency may lie in the story and can be in the choice of that person.
Places to Visit in Southeast Spain
Southeast Spain along the Costa de Almeria is an unspoilt paradise. A world away from the high-rise hotel blocks and apartments that are associated with some other coastal areas of Spain, this Costa is subdued and altogether much more inviting. Mile upon mile of sandy beach stretches out along the coastline, truncated ever so often by headlands that crash out into the sea. For discerning families looking for a quiet Spanish holiday getaway, the Costa Almeria is the place to go.
Beyond the beaches
There are a wide variety of places to visit that are within a short drive of the Costa de Almeria coastline. Here are some of the best…
Tabernas - home to the 'Westerns' of the 1960s and 1970s, Tabernas is formed of desert-like rocky outcrops and canyons that have played host to some of the most memorable movies of this era. Clint Eastwood's A Fist Full of Dollars, A Few Dollars More and The Good, The Bad & The Ugly were filmed here, as was The Magnificent Seven. The movie sets (there are three 'wild west' towns to visit) are now tourist attractions, with live wild west shows, stagecoach rides and working saloon bars to enjoy.
Calar Alto Observatory - The province of Almeria lays claim to one of the sunniest spots in Europe. On average there are over 3100 hours of sunshine to be had in the area each year. Taking advantage of the exceptionally clear skies in this part of Spain is the Calar Alto Observatory - a collection of five giant telescopes, three of which are operated by the Max-Plank Institute in Germany. Although chiefly a scientific research establishment the white telescope domes are a spectacular sight at any time of the day or on a moonlit night. It is also possible to arrange visits to one or more of the domes by appointment in the Sierra de los Filabres.
Sierra Nevada Mountains - When on the Costa de Almeria you cannot fail to notice the magnificent peaks of the Sierra Nevada Mountains to the west of the province. Snow capped for some six months of the year, the Sierra Nevada Mountain range is an all-year-round paradise. During the summer and autumn, hiking is the #1 activity, the mountainside yielding a fine network of paths to explore. During the winter and spring the Sierra Nevada becomes Europe's most southerly ski resort.
Granada - A short distance downslope from the Sierra Nevada mountains is the beautiful town of Granada and its most famous of attractions - the Alhambra. A palace residence of Moslem kings that dates back to the 9th century, the Alhambra is a fortress (alcazaba), palace (alcazar) and a city (medina) all rolled into one.
Cabo de Gata-Nijar Natural Park - On the south-easternmost tip of Almeria is the 29,000-hectare Cabo de Gata-Nijar Natural Park. Pristine beaches, jagged cliffs, salt flats and lagoons await all who explore this natural paradise. With eagles, peregrines, cormorants and razorbills on show, this is the place to come if you enjoy wildlife.
Getting to Southeast Spain
Travelers should opt to fly into Almeria City airport on the Costa de Almeria coast. Car hire can be booked in advance for pick up from the airport upon your arrival. Visit http://www.your-carhire.com.

The following is our Top Ten List of qualities or attributes that if you or your partner have will guarantee you to have a healthy, balanced relationship as well as being an attractive person both inside and out.
1) BALANCED: Balanced can mean many things, for the purposes of our article, we mean that you or your partner has a good sense of boundaries, that that you and your partner are a whole person and have a healthy lifestyle.
More specifically, you or your partner knows how to maintain their own boundaries and respect the boundaries of their partner. They understand the difference between assertiveness and aggressiveness.
It is important that you or your partner considers themself already a whole person, that you or your partner doesn't need someone to fill themselves up or complete them in order to be a complete person. They need to have the belief system that a partner is there to enhance and support their natural, authentic expression, but is not needed to complete who they are.
A healthy balance in their lifestyle is also important such as not working themselves too much, drinking or eating too much or doing anything in excess.
2) CONFIDENT: You or your partner are self-confident and have high self esteem. You are confident that you can handle new things, even if you have never done it before or if you may not get it right the first time around. You or your partner has an internal point of reference; you do not need to have reassurance and complements from others to be confident. At the same time you are confident enough to accept compliments or criticism, and are not afraid to give compliments to other people.
3) INDEPENDENT You can be a functional person without relying on another person and you are not codependent.
Codependency is a condition that results from dysfunctional patterns based on unhealthy relationships. These dysfunctional patterns are socially learned patterns of thinking, feeling, and acting which result in dependency on other people, places, organizations, things and events to create approval, appreciation, self worth and love to achieve a sense of safety, self esteem, purpose and identity.

7) UNCONDITIONAL LOVE: You and your partner need to understand the concept of unconditional love, to be able to love you partner whether you agree with their beliefs, emotions, feelings or behaviors. To be able to transcend the conditional love paradigm, even if you are not getting what you want at the given time.
8) ON DHARMIC PATH: A person who is on their dharmic path is someone who is in bliss for a great deal of their day. What a wonderful inspiration to be with someone who is on path.
9) NON-RESISTANT TO CHANGE: You or your partner is someone who is not in resistance to change, or at the very least understands when they are in resistance to change and allows themselves to go through the stages of adapting to change without resisting the process. You or your partner would need to understand and accept that change is a natural part of life.
10) SENSE OF HUMOUR: When the going gets tough, the tough start laughing. Do you ever find that when you make light of a difficult situation is a lot easier to get through? Well, having a partner who can make light of a situation (of course while still empathizing with your situation) is much easier on you than a partner who freaks out whenever something happens. Laughter brings gentle strength and renews your focus so you can be open to new ways of dealing with the situation.
Compatibility and knowing what are your wants, needs and requirements are all vital to finding your highest and best relationship. The list above, although depending upon your level of consciousness may seem a little out of reach. However, regardless of your personality and what you are seeking in a partner and what your partner is seeking in you, the list above are fail safe attributes that are universal to everyone that are within everyone's reach and will guarantee a healthy relationship that sets the stage for both stability and expansion.

What Can We Do To Reduce Bullying?
(NC)-According to Family Services Canada, approximately 12% of children are bullies. Additional research confirms that bullying occurs frequently: once every seven minutes on the playground and once every twenty-five minutes in class (Craig and Pepler, 1997).
To reduce and prevent bullying, it is important to consider not only the bully and victim, but also peers, school staff, parents, and the broader community. The best approach at school is to develop a clearly stated code of behaviour with consistent follow-through.
All school staff should participate in educational sessions, together with parent and student representatives. Once adults learn to recognize problem behaviour and how to stop it, they can supervise and intervene more successfully.
Parent meetings and newsletters should address the problems of bullying. Parents need to talk to their children about bullying and look for signs of potential victimization. Communication between parents and school is essential, as parents are often the first to find out that their children are being bullied. Peers also play a critical role in the reduction of bullying. If students are taught how to intervene appropriately, or get adult assistance, and to empathise with victims and condemn aggression, bullying can be reduced.
Bullies and victims require individual attention. Bullies should be told that their behaviour is not acceptable and that they will suffer consequences established in the code of behaviour. If a group of children are being bullied, bullies and bystanders should be brought to task. Victims need to be encouraged to speak up and ensured that their school will protect them from further harassment. Parents of bullies should be informed of their children's behaviour and enlisted to discipline the behaviour and mentor their child to help prevent further occurrences of bullying or victimization.

Which City Really Does Have The Most Restaurants Per Capita?
Travel to most city websites around the net and you'll be surprised by how many purport to have more restaurants per capita than anywhere else. This is claimed by San Francisco; Madison, Wisconsin; Washington DC; and Shreveport, Louisiana. At least Canadian cities stake the same claim.
So which cities do have a legitimate claim to the title of "Most Restaurants Per Capita?" The National Restaurant Association (NRA) does publish a list of restaurants per capita per state. According to the Association, California has by far the most restaurants with a staggering 87,225 dining establishments. New York State comes in at a paltry 58,027. The top five is rounded out by Texas (53,631), Florida (41,901) Pennsylvania (31,466).
In terms of per capita per state, Washington DC tops the list according to NRA. The US capital region boosts some 0.4 restaurants per 100 people. Second is, surprisingly, Montana at .354 restaurants per 100 people. Rounding out the NRA's top five are Rhode Island (0.304 per 100) Vermont (.303 per 100) New York (.301 per 100). If you are a little hungry you might want avoid the three states with the fewest restaurants Mississippi, Kentucky and Utah.
In terms of North American cities, it is a little harder to ascertain who can claim the title of city with most restaurants per capita.
Here are ten cities with more than 100,000 people that have made the claim. But who has the real claim? Who offers the cuisine searcher or just plain hungry shopper the most choice? Who can claim the title of The Restaurant City.
The city of San Francisco is a city of 744,230 people and claims to have 2,662 restaurants within the city boundaries. There is no doubt that the standard of restaurants in the city of the bay is exceptional. If you just include San Francisco properly your density is 279 people per restaurant. But because costs of housing the number of people living in the city proper has declined while the number of businesses including restaurants, San Francisco is a distorted number. If you count the metro area, the number of restaurants climbs to 4,300 restaurants (we won't include hundreds more in the nearby wine country of Napa and Sonoma). If you consider the metro area population of 7,168,176 and divide by 4,300 you get a per capita density of 1,667 people per restaurant.
Victoria. This city on Vancouver Island and capital city of British Columbia, Canada regularly makes the claim that it has the "second highest number of restaurants per capita," which is perhaps clever psychology as the city has never indicted which is top. With a population of 335,000 the city claims to have 265 Italian, French, Greek, East Indian, Vegetarian, German, Dutch, Mexican, Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, and Thai eateries. That means Victoria has a restaurant per 1,264 people. But with its spectacular location halfway between Vancouver and Seattle, you'd hardly care if its claim is a little off.
In New York City no one cooks at home and by the time you've heard of a restaurant it has probably closed. Restaurants open and close with alarming alacrity in the Big Apple. On average, the city of New York can claim 6,650 dining places from the chic Lespinasse to the greasiest corner diner -- the most restaurants in any one place on the continent. Yet with 8,168,338 people, New York can only claim to have 1, 228 people per restaurant. It might seem that every second building in New York is a restaurant but they have to cater to a lot of vertically housed residents. That explains why it is hard to find a table some nights.
The one Canadian city that can make a great claim to have the most restaurants per capita is Montreal in the province of Quebec. With just over 5,000 restaurants in the metro island area, is appears there are at least one restaurant on every street corner. With its diverse immigrant population and French majority, the city has every type of cuisine available from Lebanese to continental French to native Canadian. Some 3,720,000 Quebecois live in the metro area making Montreal the second largest French speaking city in the world. Giving it a restaurant per capita number of 744.
When you leave Austin you enter Texas so the saying goes. This funky city in central Texas has 1,088 eating places to enhance its reputation as Music City USA. That list includes 128 establishments in or around the University of Texas alone. Austin's burgeoning population is currently 690, 252 making their people to restaurant ratio 634.
Louisville, home to the Kentucky Derby, is a small city of just over half a million people. Pap John's Pizza and Yum Brands, the parent company of A&W, KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell, both make Louisville their corporate home so it is not surprising that that this city on the Ohio River has 1,089 restaurants. That makes for 510 people per restaurant.
Madison owns the rights to the title of "city with the most restaurants per capita" and the capital makes the claim throughout its literature. However, pining down the actual number of restaurants is pretty hard. The best list available points to 437 restaurants that caters to 221,551 people in the Wisconsin city. But that makes for only 506 people for each restaurant. Good for only third on this list. 
Dallas. This Lone Star State city has a population of 1,250,950 and a selection of restaurants that add up to 2,666. While the city is known for its BBQ and steak houses there is a surprising mix of great eateries from chic to basic. That means every restaurant, fast food place and steak house in Texas' third largest city can boast an potential pool of just 469 people. Making this city the winner of the title "City With The Most Restaurants per Capita."

What is a Park Model Home
A park model is really a mobile home, not a RV. In addition to no holding tanks, they don’t have water tanks, propane tanks, roof A/C, elec power cords, etc, etc.
A park model is more of a small mobile home than a recreational vehicle, in appearance and function. A park model is what we have in mind, just have to find a place to put it.
A park model is a good choice for a permanent campsite that is rented by the year. The trailer is transported to the site, set up, and left there for the year (or longer depending on the contract). A park model is really somewhere in between mobile or manufactured homes and RVs.
The major technical difference between a park model RV trailer and a regular RV is that the park model lacks holding tanks. A Park Model is a recreation vehicle primarily designed as temporary living quarters for recreation, camping or seasonal use. A Park model is built on a single chassis, mounted on wheels.
A park model is a good choice for a permanent campsite that is rented by the year. The trailer is transported to the site, set up, and left there for the year (or longer depending on the contract).
A park model is meant to be the maximum size that qualifies as an RV and not a mobile home. This has to do with the regulation of RV Parks. A Park Model is a structure on a chassis where each piece can not exceed 400 square feet excluding the loft, which can not exceed 60? in height. They can fit in R/V parks and be moved like typical manufactured homes.
A Park Model is 14? or narrower and 40? or shorter and is not built to either HUD building code or any site building code like UBC or BOAC or CABO or any other site building code. They are constructed to whatever codes the motor vehicle department for the state where they are constructed will require.
