COSTCO - putting it's money where it's mouth is.

I am impressed. I was reading the Costco monthly magazine and stumbled upon an interesting story.
Apparently, Costco supports US military and guard personnel in a more meaningful way than putting a yellow ribbon on their door and adverts. According to the article I read, they guarantee reservist's jobs when they return no matter how long they're deployed. On top of that, they continue medical benefits for said employees and family members while they are deployed. Wow... And if that was not enough, they also cover any difference between reservist's pay and their normal Costco salary. Holy mackerel.
If this is really true, then Costco deserves a big salute from all of us. Whether you are for the wars or not, you have to appreciate the dedication to employees that are willing to serve the public.
Costco, you have my thanks.
I will continue to be a Costco member with pride after learning this.
Cheers,
Dan.

Qi Gong article in LA Yoga Magazine

Great news. My friend and teacher master Tang Wei Zhong was featured in an article in LA Yoga Magazine this month.
The photos are not bad. I got calls regarding this article already.
For my friends in Taiwan, he is coming with me in November.

Cool computing!!!

OK.. Just when you thought you had a cool and convenient to use computer, something comes along to let you know you don't.
Thanks David. You have let me know.
But, this also opens up a wealth of hope for new and amazing technology coming around the corner. This could possibly spawn a lot of tools to help those with health challenges.

Visit planned....

Well, my friends. Looks like I will be making a trip to Taiwan in November. I am still not 100% sure, but that's the way it looks now.
I will be in the middle (Taichung) most of the time. However, I am planning to visit Taipei and Kaohsiung as well.
My last trip was devoted, mostly, to dental procedures and I was not able to really enjoy time with friends. This time should be different. I am planning to travel with my friend and martial arts instructor, master Tang Wei Zhong. This will be his first trip to Taiwan. I can't wait to show him around. My wife has told him about Taiwan's fruit and he is looking forward to eating as much as he can. Also, we plan to visit some nice temples while there. So, if you have any good suggestions for out of the way, older or somehow more interesting temples, please let me know.
