This is my thought of the day. Sometimes we get so caught up in all our surroundings that when the answers are tight I’m front of we can’t see them. I heard it said that we have 2 eyes,2 ears and one mouth because we should listen twice as much as we speak. This is a good challange for myself to appreciate simplicity and breathe because lots of the answers are right on front of us.

In Lieu of Memorial Day I wanted to post this because I think that everyone in America should know this.

The 13 Folds of the US Flag

 
• The 1st fold of our flag is a symbol of life.

 

• The 2nd fold is a symbol of our belief in eternal life.

 

• The 3rd fold is made in honor and remembrance of the veterans departing our ranks who gave a portion of their lives for the defense of our country to attain peace throughout the world.

 

• The 4th fold represents our weaker nature, for as American citizens trusting in God, it is to Him we turn in times of peace as well as in time of war for His divine guidance.

 

• The 5th fold is a tribute to our country, for in the words of Stephen Decatur, “Our Country, in dealing with other countries, may she always be right; but it is still our country, right or wrong.

 

• The 6th fold is for where our hearts lie. It is with our heart that We pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States Of America, and the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all.

 

• The 7th fold is a tribute to our Armed Forces, for it is through the Armed Forces that we protect our country and our flag against all her enemies, whether they be found within or without the boundaries of our republic.

 

• The 8th fold is a tribute to the one who entered into the valley of the shadow of death, that we might see the light of day.

 

• The 9th fold is a tribute to womanhood, and Mothers. For it has been through their faith, their love, loyalty and devotion that the character of the men and women who have made this country great has been molded.

 

• The 10th fold is a tribute to the father, for he, too, has given his sons and daughters for the defense of our country since they were first born.

 

• The 11th fold represents the lower portion of the seal of King David and King Solomon and glorifies in the Hebrews eyes, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

 

• The 12th fold represents an emblem of eternity and glorifies, in the Christians eyes, God the Father, the Son and Holy Spirit.

 

• The 13th fold, or when the flag is completely folded, the stars are uppermost reminding us of our nations motto, “In God We Trust.”

After the flag is completely folded and tucked in, it takes on the appearance of a cocked hat, ever reminding us of the soldiers who served under General George Washington, and the Sailors and Marines who served under Captain John Paul Jones, who were followed by their comrades and shipmates in the Armed Forces of the United States, preserving for us the rights, privileges and freedoms we enjoy today.

There are some traditions and ways of doing things that have deep meaning. In the future, you’ll see flags folded and now you will know why.

Interesting to think that the picture that you thought that you deleted was really not deleted. So you know that pic you looked terrible in and you got randomly tagged? Yeah it`s still up on Facebook and Myspace hahaha. Or even worse that video on Youtube!!

Some people think of the iPhone as a phone with a mini-computer built in, and others use it as an ”always-on” pico-computer that happens to have a cell phone.  Regardless of how you use it, the iPhone is a life-changing device. 

One of the biggest faults of the device is the inability to replace the battery.  This decision is even more unbelievable when you realize how much power the iPhonecan really suck down… an average user usually cannot last an entire day without being tethered to an electrical outlet of some kind. 

Regardless of the complaints, consumers still have to deal with what they have.  Here are some ways that will definately increase your battery life in your iPhone3G

1. Avoid Extreme Heat
The Lithium Ion battery embedded within your iPhone is rather sensitive to temperature extremes.  Extreme heat, such as temperatures above 114 degrees Farenheit, can quickly degrade the battery more quickly than normal.  This translates into less total battery capacity over time.

2. Turn the brightness down
Just as it is in every device, your LCD screen’s backlight is one of the biggest draws of power.  Turn off the “Auto-Brightness” setting, and make your screen as dim as you can possibly stand.  This may not work for you if you are outside a lot.

3. Low-coverage areas and Airport mode
Whatever cell network you are on, you need to realize how cell phones stay connected.  Whenever you get further away from cell towers, your phone has to “shout louder” to the tower to make sure it is connected.  This is what the “airplane mode” of the iPhone’s settings is for… it won’t try to scream louder in areas with poor service.  If you’re out in the middle of nowhere (and can still get a 3G signal), then you may notice your battery life reduced significantly.  If you absolutely don’t need to be reached while camping (or waiting for your next plane), then turn your phone off until YOU need to make a call or get on the Internet.  Otherwise you may find yourself without.

4. Turn off Bluetooth when you don’t need it
This one is easy.  At the current firmware, the only device the iPhone supports is a wireless headset.  Unless you use your headset all the time, then turn Bluetooth off.  I usually only turn it on when I know I’m going to have a long conversation.  Unfortunately, the only “legal” way to toggle Bluetooth is to enter the Settings menu, which constitutes 5 clicks.  There are some applications that allow for “one-click” bluetooth toggles, but you must have a jailbroken iPhone to use them (currently).

5. Change your email settings.
Do you really need to be notified of email right when you get it?  Can you wait a little bit?  If so, then turn off the “Push” technology on your phone.  Push always has a little trickle of a signal out there, so its connected email server can transmit a new message.  It’s not as expensive as checking for messages the traditional way, but it is on all the time, and therefore can suck additional battery power.  If your life depends upon email, then you may not be able to live without this.

If you can live without Push, then you can save more juice by checking for messages less often.  Instead of checking for email every 15 minutes, why not change it to “1 hour”?  Instead of checking for mail 96 times a day, you will only check twenty-four times a day. 

6. Turn off location services
The iPhone has a GPS, true, but is assisted by triangulating cell towers.  Unless you use Google maps frequently, then you could benefit by turning this off.

7. Turn off 3G
Unless you’re browsing the Internet a lot, you may not need the speed of 3G.  The 3G radio consumes a lot more power than running on the EDGE network.  Toggle this setting by going into “Settings –> General –>  Network“.  You’ll see a setting for “Enable 3G“.  Turn it off and see if you really notice. 

8. Turn off “Ask to Join Networks”
Have you been driving down the road, and suddenly you get a popup to join about 5 different wireless networks?  It can be very annoying when you’re in the middle of an application.  In order for the iPhone to detect these wireless networks, then it must have the wireless radio on.  Yes, it’s in a low-power detection mode, but it is on nonetheless. 

If you’re going to be somewhere with wifi for an extended period of time, then use that over 3G or Edge.  Either toggle “ask to join networks” back on, or manually join a hotspot.  Once you successfully connect to a hotspot once, then your iPhone will automatically connect back to it.  Believe it or not, the wifi radio in your iPhone uses up less electricity than 3G… especially if you are far away from a cell tower.

9. Turn your phone off when you don’t need it
Ok, now this really defeats the purpose of an “always connected” device, but hard times call for desperate measures.  I’m not saying that you should turn the device off whenever you go to the movies or a business meeting, but if there’s an extended period of time you know you’re not going to use it, then why not turn it off?  If you’re going to sleep, why not turn it off?  There are some places that you would be nervous about taking your phone, like mountainclimbing, kayaking, or an extended toilet break.  Why not turn the phone off rather than letting it waste away in your hotel room?

10. Have an emergency battery pack with you
This is something that just can’t be avoided if you love your iPhone.  You canpurchase mini battery modules that click to the bottom of your iPhone, which immediately start charging your phone, and give you a few additional hours of life.  This isn’t a true solution to being able to swapping out the battery for a higher-capacity model, but it is what it is.  Keep in mind that even Apple recognizes that constant recharging of your battery will eventually reduce its overall capacity (Apple says that 400 full charge cycles will reduce battery capacity by 20%).

There are a few choices.  Some battery packs are integrated into an iPhone case.  Choose carefully if you go this route, as some of these cases do not provide as much protection against impacts or water.  Some people prefer the little emergency battery packs, which click onto the bottom of the phone.  They are small enough that they don’t interfere with phone operation, but still make you look like a dork.

If all else fails, make sure you have a spare iPod (or iPhone) USB cable and power adapter in your car… and be sure to kick Steve Jobs in the nuts when you see him.

My friend dean sent this in an email a while back it was found on a bar stool in MN. I was going through some old emails and I took the time to read it again and as I as I laughed I realized some truth in it and I decided I would share it with the world…haha

This day changed my life forever. I had a near death experience dont let anyone ever tell you that you cant do something. Doctors told me that I would limp, never have full use of my left arm, my neck would be messed up forever etc.. .I am in the best shape of my life right now. Stay motivated and determined and you can have whatever you want in life. Here is proof.
