Vietnam Memorial

I found a few more memorials up by the State Capitol Building. This one is on the west side.

The main engraving reads:

This memorial is a tribute to all Utahns who

unselfishly served the cause of freedom in

Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos.

The names engraved on these tablets represent

the diversity of Utah's citizens who answered

their nation's call in the same spirit of those

who served in previous wars. Many served in

the innocence of youth.

They kept the faith. They made the ultimate

sacrifice

Bajio, Cafe Rio, or Costa Vida?

It is time for the showdown. Which one is best: Bajio, Cafe Rio, or Costa Vida? Or is it (as was my opinion) that they are all exactly the same?

I decided to do a taste test. Six people participated. Three were salad testers and three were burrito testers. None of the people who participated have any food judging experience although a couple of them have competed in cooking contests and have a couple of first place finishes to their name. Each couple went to a different restaurant and picked up a Sweet Pork Salad and an Steak Burrito to go. We ordered each salad with black beans and their creamy green dressing (whatever they happened to call it). The steak burritos were ordered enchilada style with black beans. Then we all met at a central location and judged each dish on the following:

Value Score = Weight (oz)/Cost($)
Overall Appeal (visual appeal, aroma, garnish)
Recipe (Cooking, ingredient combination, too moist or dry)
Taste (Flavor combination, Seasoning, Texture)

Sea Arch at Cabo

We just returned from a cruise to the Mexican Riviera. Great Trip! I didn't take my good camera, so these pictures were all taken with a Canon A1100IS, then processed in Aperture.

This is the sea arch at the end of the Baja peninsula near Cabo San Lucas

Using Tags in the Gospel Library App

A few weeks ago I wrote a post about using the highlight feature in the gospel library app to differentiate between gospel topics.

Why do we highlight in the first place? The answer is simple. It comes from the day when most people used paper scriptures. They used colors and highlights to help you find scriptures. Most of us do not have the time or the capacity to memorize the references for hundreds of scriptures so we relied on the our memory to get us close. For example, the scripture about the natural man being an enemy to God, in my mind is not in Mosiah 3:19, but it is located in the first few chapters of Mosiah on the right hand page in the right column toward the top. So, to find it I would simply flip through the first few chapters of the Book of Mosiah until I locate the highlights that I made on Mosiah 3:19. This system served me well until we all started using electronic scriptures. Now there are no pages or columns. It is just one long column separated into chap…
