#RestaurantReview; #Dinner at #BahamaBreeze tonight. We were seated immediately and the waiter was very prompt! We got our drink orders in, and those came out quickly. The waiter was attentive and handled the order, including custom requests, perfectly. I had the #Churrasco with #riceandbeans and #fried #plantains. I got a #Coconut flavored #mojito, of course! The churrasco was over #seasoned with lemon and the flavor was overpowering. This was the disappointing dish -- I'm not sure they used the right cut. It was perfectly cooked to #medium as I requested, so I'm not really sure if it was just my preferences. The ripe plantains were perfect. The beans portion was tiny, but the waiter gladly brought me extra at no cost. The beans were cooked to a perfect creamy consistency. The mojito was well mixed, but wasn't to my liking--no fault of the bar tender. I probably should have ordered a piña colada, as I was in the mood for a sweeter drink. The #coconut flavor just didn't seem to go well with the #lemon and #mint flavor. So, in short, good food, but I must be in a picky mood tonight. I love the #ambiance at Bahama Breeze restaurants. There was a guitar player throwing down some cool tunes at a very comfortable volume. Overall, minus the steak, it was a good experience. (at Bahama Breeze Island Grille)

Quote from a mentor yesterday: "It's my job to find opportunity in every problem." That's an important lesson for me!! #positivity #leadership #opportunity #quote

This is the next book on my reading list. #Leadership #Repost @dalepartridge ・・・ My favorite quote from my book is, "Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. And just because it's smart, doesn't mean it's right." We all want a easy plan to follow. To escape thinking. To escape morality. But in reality, maturity comes from pondering statements like these. My book has 212 five star reviews. And it's on sale at Amazon for only $13 today! If you want to lead well, consider picking up a copy.

Using my back leg to push against the ground behind me, I applied enough pressure to the sled to let my dogs know I was sharing some of the burden. Gradually, my dogs got accustomed to me driving the sled, and together we really started to gain speed, especially on long stretches over wide ice fields or frozen marshes unobstructed by trees. My dogs galloped gracefully and playfully with their tails wagging behind them. If I could read their minds, I would have deduced that they were actually having fun with me. Finally, the postcard image of dog sledding! Not only that, but I finally got some words of encouragement from Gravelle. “You guys are good drivers,” he said.

"Holmes began the run by speed riding down the famous mountain’s [#Chamonix] treacherous face, then dropped his speed #gliderwing to launch off of a rocky cliff into a double back flip with his skis still on. Once in mid-air, he released both skis to free fall for nearly 2000 feet before deploying his #parachute and landing safely on the valley floor nearly a mile below the summit. But he was not done just yet. “For three years, I tried to pull off the Eiger run,” Holmes says. “Finally, the playground was set. Winds were still good. The #skier in me just wanted to go make another run.”" READ THE STORY: gore-tex.com/experiencemore Follow: @goretexna @goretexna #skiing #mountains #SpeedRiding #WinterSport #Adventure #Outdoors #Travel #Traveling #Traveler

@Marmot first worked with GORE-TEX® products to incorporate waterproof and breathable fabrics into their expedition tents, down parkas, bivy shelters, and down sleeping bags. This was the first time a partner company used GORE-TEX® fabrics in a down product, says Kevin Brown, curator of archives at W.L. Gore & Associates (makers of GORE-TEX® fabric). The Gopher, a down sleeping bag by Marmot, used GORE-TEX® fabric for the outer shell. Testers hailed the product as a completely waterproof, warm, and lightweight down sleeping bag that didn’t soak in any moisture, even when a tent was collecting condensation by the bucketful. “It was a bit more challenging for the average user, due to the additional price,” says Randy Verniers, vice president of international sales for Marmot. “But the true outdoor users could understand the benefits and within a short time, the GORE-TEX® products became very successful." As the GORE-TEX® brand grew, the company began using seam-sealing for all zippers and stitches to ensure 100 percent waterproofness. Marmot was an integral part of this innovation, creating various prototypes that the GORE-TEX® brand then tested in their Rain Chamber. From this testing, GORE-TEX® fabrics produced the most effective way to tape and seam-seal a garment to ensure our Guaranteed To Keep You Dry® promise. Today, Marmot and the GORE-TEX® brand continue to collaborate on products, including the new Cerro Torre Jacket. A shell built for the alpine world, the Cerro Torre Jacket utilizes the new 3-layer GORE-TEX® fabric with GORE® C-KNIT™ backer technology that delivers improved breathability and comfort. “Gore continues its commitment to making products, in conjunction with their brand partners, that work in real life,” says Verniers, of Marmot. “There is trust in the name that whatever GORE-TEX® products you get will be the best available. And we will be on the leading edge with GORE-TEX® products and whatever the mad scientists come up with.” To see what those mad scientists are actually up to, visit Marmot.com.
