    That wasn't a great decision but we had almost arrived at the trail when the strap on my daypack broke. Here we are at about 14,000 feet with no needle and thread, how do we fix a broken strap?

    Do You Know How To Make The Right Decision?
    Making decisions is part of modern life, and each day we make hundreds of simple decisions, a handful of important decision, and occasionally, a massive decision. The problem is often in knowing the right or best thing to do, and so many of us do not know how to set about making the right decision.Take Care with Your DecisionsYou may be a student, and on whim decide for or against continuing your studies; little do you realise that a simple decision taken on a sunny afternoon on the playing fields of youth can decide whether you get a promotion and salary raise on the battlefields of adult life, some 15-years later.You may be ten years into your career, and find you are overlooked for a plum job in a new division; you get drunk that night and decide whether to remain in that occupation or seek a new challenge with another company. You may be an athlete or budding sports personality as a youth, and at your first setback, or when the training starts to bite hard, you
    One day, James, a friend of mine here in Cotahuasi, Peru, approached me and asked a favor. He said he was putting on a large mountain bike tour the beginning of May. He had asked for my help in checking out a potential route across the high plain to Charcana, as I was familiar with part of the route. I had done a 16 hour hike across that area with Max, another friend who is a government official working on many projects here. That time he was researching an area on the high plain to use for a vicuña preserve. Vicuña are an endangered wild animal, related to the llama, whose wool is VERY valuable, and hence poaching is a big problem.

    Back to the bike trip, at 3:15 Saturday morning, a horn honked outside my house and I joined Julio and Daniel in a truck for the three hour ride up to our starting place at 14,000 feet elevation. On the way we stopped three times, each time picking up a horse and numerous people who were going that was as well. Fortunately we got to ride in the cab instead of in the back of truck in the cold with the horses. There is no public transportation that goes up to the high plain in spite of the fact that many people live up there. The villages are small and far apart so it would probably not be economically feasible for combi (minivan bus) service. After what seemed like ages, we were finally dropped off in the middle of nowhere at a sign for the school in "Laxa" with an arrow pointing to the left, there was nothing in sight except a small trail.

    It was light by the time we started to ride at 6:15, following the very rocky trail Max and I had hiked previously. Of course, riding a bike is much different than hiking. The trail dropped down into a deep gully and climbed steeply back up the other side. It was too steep to ride so we had to push our bikes. Julio soon had a flat tire from the thorns on the trail. We passed by the one room school that was near a few houses, but otherwise out in the middle of a large empty plain. We were on the trail to Lacsa but reached a point where I was pretty sure that we needed to head in a different direction to go to Charcana, as we had hiked to Andamarca on the previous trip. Fortunately, we saw a woman walking off in the distance so were able to get general directions from her. She had pointed off to the right of the trail we were on and we could see the trail climbing up a ridge on the other side of the plain. Thinking that cutting cross-country would be as good as the poor trail we were on, we headed in that direction.

    Are You a Bona Fide Food Dresser?
    I have recently identified a new occupation. This isn’t a job you get paid for doing, it is something that millions of Americans greatly enjoy and gladly participate in! This new occupation is none other than that of a Food Dresser. So how do you know if you are a food dresser? Well it’s simple really. Do you load up all of your foods with things like butter, sour cream, salad dressings, sauces or cheese? If so, then the answer is yes… you are a Food Dresser.So what is wrong with dressing up your food? A baked potato is nothing if it isn’t piled high with butter, sour cream and cheese right? The problem with adding all of these additional toppings to your food is the fact that it greatly increases the amount of calories that you are taking in! It is very easy to take a perfectly healthy meal, and make it very unhealthy just be scooping on the sauce.Oftentimes, someone will tell me that they had a “salad” for lunch, so they feel that they made a healthy choice. I’ve learned that the term

    Effective Study Habits
    Effective study habits are essential for achieving and maintaining a high GPA. More importantly, effective study habits help you to store information in long-term memory, allowing you to use the learned information in a novel setting. Applying the following rules for studying will aid you in earning excellent marks in school.Do:1. Keep the area around your desk neat and tidy. If possible, the area should also be quiet. If you are having trouble finding a quiet place to study, try the local library or park. The library is a perfect place to have peace and quiet. The park may not be as quiet, but the fresh air can make studying less nerve-racking. If these options are unavailable, then try listening to some music while studying.2. Have a scheduled study time for each school day. Remember that one classroom hour should be reinforced by two hours of studying at home.3. Sit down for 45 minute intervals, followed by 15 minute breaks. Having an easily attainable g

    That wasn't a great decision but we had almost arrived at the trail when the strap on my daypack broke. Here we are at about 14,000 feet with no needle and thread, how do we fix a broken strap? The brake cable on my bike was longer than needed but I had not cut off the extra length, I just left it sticking out the end. We broke a few strands off of that and Julio used the wire to sew the strap back on the pack! Crisis averted and we were on our way again.

    Now we were finally on the main trail to Charcana, which was an old Inca trail. We went through the ruins of the old village of Lacsa, bypassing the current village. We followed the trail across the high plain for miles, going down into and climbing out of numerous deep gullies on the way. At one point there were a few stone towers, about six feet high, near the trail. Of course we had to stop and take pictures with our bikes on top of one of the towers.

    In typical local fashion, my fellow bikers had a bag of bread rolls and about a quart of water between them, and I'm sure were laughing at my full pack. However at lunchtime, after sharing my water, trail mix, cheese, an apple and cookies with them, they probably were glad I had brought more than they did.

    We were on a trail that was new to me, and I was the guide; all we knew was that we were going in the right direction for Charcana. We passed a few houses and buildings, all made out of stones as that was the only building material up on the plain. Also lots of llamas and sheep, which somehow survive eating the very rough and sharp grass that grows up there. We couldn't actually see Charcana because it was down in a canyon somewhere ahead of us. After many false sightings of what I hoped was the correct canyon, we finally reached the far rim of the high plateau and I could see Charcana on the other side of the canyon. It seemed so close that we weren't worried about the time and spent too long taking pictures on top of a couple of large boulders that were on the edge of the rim.

    Finally realizing that is was getting late; we started down the trail that led down the canyon towards Charcana. However the trail soon turned off and headed up that canyon instead of continuing down to the bottom in the direction of Charcana. It also became a very poor trail, overgrown and in bad condition, nothing like the main trail that we had been on. After awhile we decided that we must be on the wrong trail. But there had been no obvious junction and by that time we decided it was better to continue than to go back and try to find the correct trail, especially as we had no idea wher
