The reason people turned down Bowerman's idea was that they weren't ready to take risks. It is something that usually happens with innovative ideas.

I think that Smith's business professor gave him a C on the project because an overnight mail delivery service is not too interesting to take it as a businees project or maybe because Smith's project wasn't complete when he Showed it to his proffesor and was some years later that he really finished it and it became in the big and important company that is nowadays "FedEx."

I think that Bowerman's NIKE athletic shoes idea has led to the most imitations.

This is a photo of the Pyramid of The Sun, Teotihuacan, Mexico, 2004. I went to Mexico with some friends,On the 3rd day of our stay in Mexico City, we went for a trip to Teotihuacan, we had a great time!!!

The Pyramid of the Sun is the third largest in the world.wow!!

If you're not afraid of a few stairs (around 250), the views from the top are excellent. Just remember "don't look down" when you're on your way back down!

On the days of the winter and summer solstices, Teotihuacan is packed with folks who dress in white and climb to the top of the Pyramid of the Sun. They stand at the top with arms outstretched to receive the special energy of the site on that day.

I want to write about Mexican Toys , In our country the ancient mesoamericans manufactured toys made of materials like palm of tree, wooden, and bark of fruits, among others. I think toys of more tradition are the yo-yo, the wood furniture, the small box surprise, (which it leaves a wood serpent that prick the hand to you), the skulls of sugar,the top, The baleros cup toy and the lotería,

In Mexico, toymaking continues to be among the most fascinating of the traditional arts...to specify the characteristics which traditional toys share. Qualities which stand out are the simplicity of their manufacture, the ability of the artisan to balance refined techniques with unrefined materials.

Traditional toys are also dintinguished by the harmony of their strong colors, and the variety of their forms.

If young couples in my country want to get married, they usually have a dinner where the families start to socialize and plan the wedding reception.

The boyfriend asks permission for getting married to the girlfriend's parents and he gives to his girlfriend an engagement ring as a showing of love and compromise.

it is usual that the bride and groom's families pay the wedding reception.

GLOBAL WARMING

yesterday, I was reading about global warming, I find some informacion that we should know,because, Global warming has a great effect on human life,For example, with the hot weather we will be having pests which will spread the diseases. In addition, global warming causes ocean to warm up and raise the sea level which kills many people around the world. That’s what happened with a Tsunami when thousands of people died. Also all ice will melt and there will be not ice or place for animals to live in.

Global warming is a very serious issue that we need to thing about. Some people do not understand what global worming mean. we need to do something about global warming,We can contribute with personal actions, like Reducing our use of oil, gasoline,and reducing the amount of electricity used in our homes, also sets an example for others to follow. we can drive less,

we' ll save energy by taking the bus, riding a bike, or walking.

Making energy conservation a part of our daily is essential to the goal of reducing global warming.

Last summer I went to Quiroga Michoacan, It was great, In Quiroga you can admire lots of architectonical highlights of the 17th century, one of it is the baroque style church "Parroquia de San Diego de Alcalá" or the monastery which was founded by the Franciscans order and which is decorated with impressive hand painted porcelain tiles. in this small town houses are traditionally painted white with dark red.

Quiroga offers a great variety of products from Michoacan.I bought some things made of wood,products sold here are produced by local artisans.

Some of the stalls along both sides of the main drag sell simplistic, old-fashioned wooden toys,Other small outdoor stalls offer wooden chairs and stools, and junky little toy guitars and doll houses. There are nice huaraches,some classic styles built upon tire treads and more modern women’s sandals all at good prices, I LOVE QUIROGA because it's not too expensive!!

When I was 12, I went to Veracruz for first time, Veracruz is a fun City, The city is known for its rich traditions of music, including marimba bands, danzón and comparsa.In downtown Veracruz, a large marble-tiled Zocalo called the Plaza de Armas or Plaza Lerdo, is the heart of the city's lively nightlife.

the "Grand Café de la Parroquia" is the most famous coffehouse in Veracruz. Its signature drink is the "lechero" which consists of expresso coffee mixed with steamed milk.

The city has several beaches as well, like Villa del Mar and Mocambo.People in Veracruz are pretty Friendly, when I went for first time, I met some great people and I made friends.

Last year, I went to veracruz with my brother and his wife,we had a great time,we went to diving in "Cancuncito" a part in the middle of the port where the sand is tall enough to let you walk and when the tide is low an island emerge from the sea, really cool, and something I didn't belive I could see in Veracruz, coral reef,Veracruz is a commercial port , so the beaches are not nice, but that "Cancuncito" place It's ok.The people of Veracruz say it is just like Cancun, not true, but it is nice.

I saw some sea animals, some cool fishes, some "Erizos de Mar" those animals with tons of pointy spikes that hurt a lot, I don't know their name in english.

YOU SHOULD PLAN A TRIP THERE SOMETIME!!!!!!!!!
