Well, just a few random thoughts on Costa Rica: Elio, missionary to the Indigenous Peoples of south central Costa Rica. Not enough space for his story, just say he is dedicated to preach the Gospel to those peoples. He travels from San Jose to well south of San Isisidro in a 23 year old Toyota Corolla that breaks down at least once a week. This is at least a 153 kilometer one way trip, at least two or three times a month loaded with clothes, cereal food whatever he can obtain from donations from business or people in San Jose. His wife works to support the family . Saw a team member give her shoes away to a grandmother who had none, Dr. Don would sit for hours no break and talk to each patient exam them and their children, giving compassionate care to each one as though they warheads of state. Team members with tears streaming down their face at Pastor Elio's sermon in Spanish even though they did not speak Spanish. Grown men crying when they are given money to the they ailing wife to the hospital for treatment. Young boys & girls with smiles as big as could be because they were given a pair of USED soccer shoes, people waiting for hours to see Don, no complainants children no whining most appreciative people for the smallest gift. Teenagers standing in line for a surgical glove that has been blown up and a face painted on it. Team members would see a need fill a need. Wednesday was by far the best day I have ever had in service to God and His Son Jesus Christ!! This morning's church service at Kirby was an exclamation point on a great week of serving Jesus!! Thanks Mark ,Lois Jean, Bob, Dawn, Doug, Jen, Don, Lisa, Connie, Karen, Heather, Nicole, Hillary, LeaAnne, Mary, Linda, Blake, & Matias!! Kirby ChurchFamily; you all are the best! Pastor Mike, thanks for giving all of us the opportunity to go in Jesus' name.

If I told you that you could make an extra $1,000/month and drive a new free BMW within the next few months, would you believe me? Probably not. But what if I told you over 4,000 other people have done this already … would that help?
And what if I told you that I have met some of these people and saw their free BMWs with my own eyes? Worth looking into, right?
I just found out about the Body by Vi™ Challenge. It's a brand new 90 Day Challenge put on by a company called ViSalus Sciences that has already helped people lose over 3 million pounds. Over 1,000 new people are joining the Challenge every day!
Visalus products are helping people reach their weight loss and fitness goals in just 90 days and they’re giving away over $25,000,000 a year in prizes such as free cruises and Hollywood makeovers.
It seems super simple and I'm looking to get a few people to take the Challenge with me. It will be fun!
There’s even a career path in place so that people who promote the Challenge can earn cash rewards and even a FREE BMW. They have had over 4,000 people qualify for the BMW already ... it's crazy!
Check out my website to see how this works. Be sure fill out the contact fields just to let me know you stopped by at: www.myhealthjax.com
Once you check it out, please give me a call and let’s catch this “Bimmer Fever” that is going around!
I am just so excited about ViSalus and the Body by Vi Challenge. The products are simple, affordable and REALLY WORK.
The fact that you can get them for FREE for simply referring 3 others is amazing! And, the income you can earn for simply promoting the Challenge can be life changing.
Check out this fun video that one of the ViSalus Founders, Blake Mallen, filmed about the ViSalus Compensation Plan: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HzkvZsqRxNg
I look forward to hearing from you and helping you!
Thank you,

I met Chris Lytle for the first time at the Indy MMA event on thursday. To be honest, before the event, I wouldn't know him if he walked in the room and right past me, which he did, then my buddy pointed him out (thanks Blake Dieringer) Chris was letting his fans know that he is Running for Office of State Senator ... I began to listen as he spoke about his platform, where he stands and where he is coming from to "Fight for Indiana" .. Now some interesting facts about Chris, he is an IFD firefighter, and even while he was working in the ranks as a PRO MMA Fighter, he still worked his day job as a firefighter. He had a hugely successful career as Chris "Lights Out" Lytle ... but retired after his last fight to spend more time with his family and plan out his next steps as he looks to use his celebrity platform to serve the people of Indiana as State Senator in District 28. The more I listened, the more I heard myself, and the voices of many other American Hoosiers echoing through his statements. I thought to myself " I like this guy, he's real, he's down to earth, he gets it, he doesn't have some kind of big ego, He is a real "Statesman"... if you don't know what that is, look it up, it's much different than a politician. And that's my point. He's seen meeting people in T-Shirt and jeans, an every day working guy, that has made the most out of the opportunities afforded to him. His priorities are in Order, He's a family man, He is Fiscally Conservative, and He's a Libertarian leaning Republican ... that means he's for Small Government and Term Limits. He values education and even spends his time in the schools as a coach and in the inner city as a mentor to youth. I am posting this note (unsolicited, and unapproved by Chris) as a sincere effort to ask for you to visit his website, check out his facebook page, and see if you "Like" him. If you do "Like" him, I challenge you to help him. The state of Indiana needs Leaders that know how to "FIGHT" for what's right and the values they believe in, those Hoosier American Values that make this State the Best State in the Union. ---Thank You for reading this, Cordially - Ben McCann .... P.S. I am also urging you to vote for Richard Mourdock for senate to replace Lugar, and continue the great leadership of Mitch Daniels by electing Mike Pence as Governor of Indiana. I appreciate the Leadership of My State Reps Greg Walker & Milo Smith. Chris Lytle is a resident of New Palestine, Indiana. He is a married father of four children.
Chris is a firefighter for the Indianapolis Fire Department, and a professional mixed martial artist for the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). In his free time, he is an assistant wrestling coach for New Palestine High School, and is a co-founder of Indy PAL MMA, an organization that provides martial arts training to youth in Indianapolis and the surrounding areas.
He graduated from Southport High School in 1993, and from Indiana University in 1998.

Very productive recording session tonight. Recorded live with a beautiful small condenser ribbon-mike and an ancient large condenser- very warm sounding mics. Possibly have 5 tunes in the can- it has gotten so much easier. A couple Merle Travis tunes, a Doc Watson and Blind Blake piece as well. This will be the first time I haven't recorded digital in ages- and it's so warm. The Martin OM-21 is recording so well- way beyond my expectations
Boyle: US should publicly accuse Colombo of committing war crimes
[TamilNet, Monday, 30 January 2012, 00:40 GMT]
Pointing to the recent investigative reports in media outlets noting US may possess crucial supporting material to incriminating evidence from senior military commanders of Colombo committing war-crimes, to exposures on Wikileaks of Colombo-based US Ambassadors' reported knowledge of high level Sri Lanka officials' complicity to war crimes, and to incriminating reports from the UN and NGOs on alleged war-crimes, Professor Boyle of University of Illinois, College of Law, said, in similar circumstances Secretary of State Eagleburger accused Radovan Karadzic of committing war-crimes during the Bosnian genocide, and the Obama administration can, and should, do the same thing to political and military leaders in Colombo.
Acting U.S. Secretary of State Larry Eagleburger publicly condemns Karadzic
In a note sent to TamilNet, Professor Boyle said, "Under similar circumstances during the Bosnian genocide, U.S. Secretary of State Lawrence Eagleburger under President Bush Sr. publicly accused Bosnian Serb President Radovan Karadzic of committing war crimes and crimes against humanity, on the basis of evidence compiled by the US Government, though he did not go so far as to accuse Karadzic of genocide because of the political implications.
"But it seems to me that Secretary of State Clinton or at least Assistant Secretary of State for Human Rights Mike Posner can and should do the same here. If the Bush Sr. administration did the right thing for the Bosnians, then certainly and a fortiori the Obama administration can and should do the right thing for the Tamils."
In addition to the evidence that has been emerging recently, Prof. Boyle said earlier, "United States Defense Department will have all the evidence necessary to indict Sri Lanka officials who were responsible for the 2009 May massacre. Expatriate Tamils have to keep working until they find a way to have this information accessible to UN prosecutors."
