...It was intended to be a fundraiser for women's curling teams, and models received a share of the proceeds.

Spring Time


“Spring Time”, the first calendar with artistic nude photos licenced in Vietnam, was introduced on September 25 by the HCM City Culture and Arts Publishing House.

The calendar uses seven nude photos by photographer Thai Phien: “No title”, “Spreading Wings”, “Line”, “Cool Stream”, “Shoot of Rock”, “Spring Melody” and “Angle”.
I haven't found a way to order it yet. Not being a charity calendar, it's really outside my mission, but how can I not mention it? Story (and all seven beautiful pictures) found at VietNamNet.

I guess because I 'm exotic ...


This week I been eating this fruit called ''Mamey''.


Very popular fruit in Florida, the Caribbean islands, and Central America. It is sometimes cultivated outside of the Americas. Fruit is large, up to a foot long with orange flesh tasting somewhat like a flavorful pumpkin. Many varieties are available and the fruit is highly esteemed.

The mamey sapote flourishes in tropical climates with rainfall above 75" a year. Trees to not take well to periods of drought and will quickly loose their leaves.Propagation: The best varieties are usually propagated by grafting. Grafted trees may bear in 1-4 years. Seedling trees take 8-10 years to fruit.
Uses: Almost always eaten fresh out of hand or used in desserts and drinks. The mamey sapote was cultivated by the native peoples of Central America for hundred of years.

Most Expensive Coffee in the World


The most expensive coffee in the world does not hail from Jamaica or Hawaii, but instead from Indonesia.
Kopi Luwak the most expensive coffee in the world does exist, and those who drink the expensive coffee insist that it is made from coffee beans eaten, partly digested and then excreted by the Common palm civet, a weasel-like animal.
“Kopi” the Indonesian word for coffee along with “luwak” is local name of this animal which eats the raw red coffee beans. The civet digests the soft outer part of the coffee cherry, but does not digest the inner beans and excretes them.
Apparently the internal digestion ends up adds a unique flavor to the beans, removing the bitter flavor, and then beans are then picked up by locals and sold. The most expensive coffee beans can cost up to $600 a pound, and up to $50 per cup, if you can get over the fact that you are drinking such a strange brew.
You would know if you drank the most expensive coffee in the world, because the quantities of it are tiny amounts.

Positive Thinking












Positive thinking is a practice - positive thinking is something you learn over time. Positive thinking is not something that you were born with. The Creating Power course that I will introduce you to teaches you how to train your mind and subconscious mind to become more positive so that you practice positive thinking throughout your life.

A little background about positive thinking.

I'm sure many of you have heard of positive thinking and probably have read books about the subject. Many people believe that positive thinking is something you do on occasion. I often hear them say: "I'm a positive thinker, things will improve I know that." This is good - but it's not enough to create positive results in your life.

Why not?

Because positive thinking is not an attitude that you turn to when things go wrong.

Positive thinking is not something you do on occasion or keep in the back of your head.

Positive thinking is a practice! That's right a practice! Positive thinking is something you have to do everyday as often as possible when ever you can. By practicing positive thinking everyday you create a state of mind where you are constantly positive - it becomes a state of being positive. In the end you create a tremendous amount of positive energy - that only creates positive situations for you everyday.

In some cases Doctors now believe that having a positive attitude - that is practicing positive thinking everyday can improve your health. In fact, Researchers found that having an optimistic outlook can do wonders for a patient's recovery - especially for those who have just gone through surgery. Researchers studied 16-patients over a 30-year period - examining their attitudes and recovery after surgery.

"In each case the better a patient's expectations about how they would do after surgery or some health procedure, the better they did," said author Donald Cole, of the Institute for Work and Health in Toronto. The review says that the power of positive thinking is real, said ABCNEWS' Medical Correspondent Dr. Nancy Snyderman on Good Morning America today. "This mind-body connection that we have been toying with for the past couple of decades really does have hard science behind it," Snyderman said. The study looked at patients who had a wide range of conditions - from back pain to heart problems. They found that patients who thought they would do well after surgery - did do well. Those who thought they wouldn't do so well - didn't fare well.

So how do we do this? How do we make positive thinking a part of our daily lives so that we stop defeating ourselves and make our lives better?

Actually it's quite easy - the trick is that it requires discipline and practice.

First begin by observing yourself. Pay attention to your thoughts. See how many are positive and how many are negative. Keep a notepad handy and keep track of the number of positive thoughts that you have and the number of negative thoughts you have. At the end of your day - take a look at the number - if you have more negative thoughts then there's some work to do.

The next day - observe your thoughts again. This time pay attention to the types of negative thoughts that you are having. See how they impact your life. Are these negative thoughts a part of reality - is that the way life is. For example: if you say you hate your job - do you really hate it? If you say your boss is a pain - is he/she really a pain? If these negative thoughts are a part of your life - then you have created your own negative reality.

That's right you created it. Every negative belief you have is manifested in your life. These beliefs are based on the thoughts you have. Thoughts repeated over and over again become a belief and a belief becomes reality. Negative thoughts repeated over and over again will create a negative reality. Positive thoughts repeated over and over again - create a positive reality.

First you have to understand your negative thoughts and beliefs then only can you begin changing them. Once you begin changing them you begin creating a positive attitude - and ultimately you begin practicing positive thinking everyday. In order to get the most out of positive thinking you have to make it a way of life.

So begin by getting rid of those negative thoughts and negative beliefs, which serve you no purpose, except to make you miserable. Then you'll be able to begin having a positive attitude and start enjoying life again.

The next step is to start using all your inner powers to so you're your mind gets used to positive thinking and so that you are always carrying a positive attitude. This will lead you to creating the life you want. These inner powers all start in your mind - which is the most powerful force you have. It is a force - that when used as it should - can create wonderful things in your life.
