WINNEBAGO, Minn., Sept. 28, 2010 - Water level management is the goal as one of Minnesota's first designated wildlife lakes and a major waterfowl migration stopover gets a facelift. The project is funded by an Outdoor Heritage Fund grant to Ducks Unlimited (DU) as recommended by the Lessard-Sams Outdoor Heritage Council and appropriated by the 2009 state legislature. Construction crews will complete the project on Rice Lake this fall.
"Large wetlands such as Rice Lake provide important spring and fall migration habitat for several species of migratory birds and are great places for hunters to enjoy the outdoors in fall," said Jon Schneider, manager of Minnesota conservation programs for DU.
Minnesota Department of Natural Resources requested DU's help to engineer improvements to the more than 1,000-acre Faribault County lake. Specifically, DU was asked to design a fish barrier feature and improve water management capability of the existing structure that was problematic for DNR field staff.
On the lake's outlet, crews will install two fish barrier culverts that are set at a steep angle with high water flow to prevent carp and other invasive fish from swimming up and entering the lake. DU will also make improvements to the outlet water control structure for periodic water level draw-downs.
Due to an average depth of four feet, Rice Lake frequently experiences winter fish-kill conditions. DNR managers can effectively induce natural fish-kill conditions by conducting temporary fall water level draw-downs. In 1971, these attributes prompted the DNR to name Rice Lake as one of its first designated wildlife lakes. It is now one of only 44 designated wildlife lakes in Minnesota.
Aquatic vegetation important to waterfowl varies among years in Rice Lake, but has generally responded very well to past water level management efforts. However, carp and other invasive fish have historically quickly re-entered the lake and degraded waterfowl habitat conditions, thus negating the DNR's efforts over the years to improve the lake for ducks and hunters alike.
"It is imperative that we actively manage and enhance our remaining wetlands in Minnesota for ducks and other wildlife," Schneider said. "With so much wetland habitat lost, we simply must maximize the remaining habitat functions of those wetlands while we try to restore others."
The project is part of DU's Living Lakes Initiative and the Minnesota DNR's Duck Recovery Plan. These cooperative efforts call for the enhancement, restoration and protection of shallow lakes and large marshes for both waterfowl migration and brood-rearing habitat.
DU events help make this work possible. The Steele County banquet is Thursday, September 30 in Owatonna. Also, the first ladies DU event, "Girls with Guns" is Friday, October 15 in Faribault. For more information on these and other events in Minnesota go to http://www..ducks.org/states/48/index.html and click on "Local Events."
Ducks Unlimited is the world's largest nonprofit organization dedicated to conserving North America's continually disappearing waterfowl habitats. Established in 1937, Ducks Unlimited has conserved more than 12 million acres thanks to contributions from more than a million supporters across the continent. Guided by science and dedicated to program efficiency, DU works toward the vision of wetlands sufficient to fill the skies with waterfowl today, tomorrow and forever.

Samsung's swooshing Galaxy Note Edge is a triumph of novel design, but its high price tag and minimal extra usability make for a niche appeal.

Place your bets, folks. Which of these phablets will reign supreme in the battle of design, usability and productivity?
Constantly switching from one app to another is for amateurs. The Note 4 gives you the ultimate built-in productivity tool.
It's two of the top phablets and bitter rivals in the smartphone space. It's Apple's first big screen iPhone 6 Plus versus the phone that started it all, the Samsung Galaxy Note 4.

The Xiaomi Redmi Note delivers a great display and satisfying performance at a low price, but skip it if you crave the most cutting-edge smartphone features.
Gorilla Glass keeps your phone safe, but will it crack under the pressure when the Mythbusters bring out their hammers and air cannons?

Even though the sun's out and we can, you know, get an actual tan the normal way, a survey has revealed the number of men using sunbeds has gone up this year by 30%.
Why? Well, aside from the fact we're anticipating one of those miserable summers where it's cold and we look like Casper the ghost, lately it's become a bit more acceptable to care about how we look.
But there's a difference between lapping up the sun and lying naked on a sun bed. Namely that one of them makes you look like a leather purse and is detrimental to your health.
The Save Your Skin campaign aims to raise awareness of the dangers of using sunbeds by sponsoring the 'Large and Little' boxing event in Liverpool at The Olympia Arena this Saturday night.
An investigation by Fake Bake showed that a lot boxers use sun beds before a fight so that they look their best – even though it's an unnecessarily dangerous beauty regime.
To help promote awareness of the Save Your Skin Campaign, we have a year's supply of Fake Bake to give away (hint: it's fake tan). It's better you use that than a sun bed.
Just tweet us at @FHM_UK and tell us the most interesting thing about boxing/fake tan.The best/most unique entry will get the tickets. Simple as that.

Filling Wood Grain for Perfect Finishing
Page 2
A watery mix of insoluble materials is a slurry. To Jim, that means an oil/varnish, such as Watco Danish Oil, mixed with sanding dust. "The Watco darkens the pores for contrast," he says. "I pour a liberal amount on the surface, then sand vigorously with 100-grit-the paper has to produce sanding dust."
With burlap, a towel, or an old washcloth, Jim packs the slurry into the wood. "I don't wipe off any excess slurry," he notes. "I just let it dry overnight. Then, I sand it again, adding more oil if needed. The new sanding dust blends with the original slurry and further fills the pores when I pack it in. This time, I wipe off the excess before letting the surface dry. After the second slurrying, all the grain should be filled."
The tinted oil in the slurry will have colored the entire wood surface. To color only the pores requires removing the dried surface oil with more sanding. "If you don't want to stain the wood," Jim advises, "simply use a clear or natural oil, such as linseed oil diluted about one-third with paint thinner. Then your slurry will take on the ambient color of the wood and tend to wash out the grain for an even look (see photo below left). In either case, I let the surface dry for several days before final sanding and the application of a finish coat."

I've used this procedure with walnut. They problem is removing the slurry buildup. I find that a scraper works best because sandpaper seems to just get clogged up really quick.7/31/2014 04:42:47 PM Report Abuse
Is there a video anywhere showing this slurry technique? It sounds like something I'd like to try, but I do better seeing it first.7/31/2014 11:55:10 AM Report Abuse
I do something all most like the slurry only I use straight watco danish oil either natural or tinted and spread it on thick the wait until it becomes tacky then handrub it with an old wash cloth or other sutibale rag. This fills the pores, then I sand with 100 or higher grit sand paper.10/1/2010 11:22:33 PM Report Abuse

February 9, 2014
Fans at WWE live events have noticed that the company has been greatly reducing the price on Daniel Bryan merchandise over the last couple of weeks. That has led to some speculation about the future of the former world heavyweight champion, who has been out of action because of a severe neck injury. The belief is that management is simply trying to clear out the merchandise, and that it has no bearing on what will happen with Bryan.
November 20, 2014
During a recent interview with Sports Illustrated Now, Daniel Bryan discussed his status after neck surgery. He revealed that he still has weakness in one of his hands, which Bryan stated is a detriment in his line of work. The former world heavyweight champion also revealed that doctors are unable to figure out how he can get strength back in his hand, so he is unsure if he can make a return to WWE or not.
November 3, 2014
Fans of Daniel Bryan were given a degree of optimism not too long ago when reports surfaced that he would be healthy enough to make a return at Royal Rumble 2015. However, new reports are coming out that the former world heavyweight champion is still have issues regaining strength in his arms, so the timetable is said to be pushed back to Wrestlemania 31.
October 14, 2014
For the past 24 years, Pro Wrestling Illustrated has listed the top 500 performers in the industry. Despite being injured, Daniel Bryan was given the top honor this year. It is the first time that he has been ranked as the top wrestler in the world. He managed to beat out fellow WWE stars, Randy Orton and John Cena. Among the notable newer performers in the top ten were Bray Wyatt and Roman Reigns.
September 26, 2014
Brie Bella recently gave WWE fans some hope when she revealed that Daniel Bryan was no longer going to need a second surgery to repair his neck injury. Many were expecting him to return by January, which happens to be the month that Royal Rumble 2015 takes place. However, reports are now surfacing that WWE is trying to see if Bryan can make his return at Survivor Series 2014 instead.
September 9, 2014
During a media interview to promote Total Divas, Brie Bella revealed that Daniel Bryan would not be needing the second surgery that has long been rumored to repair his neck injury. She stated that her husband was gaining the strength back in his right arm and could be back as soon as three months, which would enable WWE to have him make a surprise return at Royal Rumble 2015.
September 7, 2014
WWE decisions are sometimes garbage, according to Batista. During a recent podcast interview with Chris Jericho, the former world heavyweight champion stated that he was disgusted by how the creative department utilized Daniel Bryan after he was put over at Wrestlemania 30. Batista felt that Bryan should have been allowed to sell the injuries from the previous night because it would have added to his lovable underdog character.
August 31, 2014
Yesterday, it was revealed that WWE had pulled Daniel Bryan from the upcoming European tour in November. The former world heavyweight champion was scheduled to make appearances at the live events on that continent. Reports are now surfacing that management made the decision to pull him from the tour because Bryan has received confirmation from doctors that a second surgery is needed to repair his neck injury.
August 29, 2014
It looks like Daniel Bryan will not be joining WWE in Europe after all. The company has decided to pull advertisement featuring the former world heavyweight champion from upcoming live events in Europe. Initially, management wanted him to make appearances on those shows in order to draw in more of an audience. However, they have changed their minds and are allowing Bryan to remain at home and focus on recover.
August 28, 2014
With so much speculation in the air on his condition, it looks like Daniel Bryan will be making a return to WWE in November. Unfortunately, though, he will not be wrestling when he does come back. Management has advertised Bryan to be at the live events that the company is hosting in Europe later on this year. The feeling is that WWE needs all the star power that they can get to draw in the audience.
August 26, 2014
While a lot of fans are under the impression that his return to WWE is a certainty, Daniel Bryan is not nearly as confident. He understands his body well enough, and he has spoken with quite a few doctors on the matter. Bryan is leaving open the possibility that he may never wrestle again because of the injured neck. The former world heavyweight champion has dismissed rumors that he will be back by Royal Rumble 2015.
August 16, 2014
In order to help promote her upcoming match at Summerslam 2014 against Stephanie McMahon, Brie Bella is on the road this weekend for WWE. The company is sending her and Nikki Bella to the Wizard World event in San Antonio. Brie is still on a reduced schedule, as management wants to give her time to be with Daniel Bryan while he is still recovering from his neck surgery.
August 2, 2014
With his health being quite the uncertainty at this point in time, there are all sorts of rumors floating around about the return of Daniel Bryan. The latest one has the former WWE champion coming back at Royal Rumble 2015. Much of that is speculation, though, since Bryan needs to go in for another surgery, and there's no telling how his body will react to the procedure.
August 2, 2014
To further their story line, WWE has revealed that Stephanie McMahon has invited Brie Bella to make an appearance on the next episode of Monday Night Raw. This should move them closer to the long rumored match at Summerslam 2014. The belief is that this also gives the company an opportunity to showcase Daniel Bryan and capitalize on the fame that he recently picked up by detaining a burglar.
July 28, 2014
While he is already revered by WWE fans, Daniel Bryan has now become a real life hero. The former world heavyweight champion and Brie Bella were coming home when they noticed that their front door was open.

One the things that made Kenta Kobayashi so famous in Japan was his diverse moves set. Unfortunately, though, a lot of his signature maneuvers cannot e utilized in WWE.

The belief is that WWE will have him come up with new moves in developmental.

For whatever reasons, Mick Foley took to social media this week to defend Batista, stating that it was unfair for fans to have this much hate towards him and his WWE return. Foley mentioned that Batista was at the wrong place at the wrong time because fans were so desperate to see Daniel Bryan being given a proper push. He also feels that not enough people are happy for Batista being featured in a big movie this summer.

While many are under the impression that he is temporarily holding the WWE Championship until Daniel Bryan can return from a serious neck injury, word coming out of backstage is that John Cena is expected to have a lengthy title reign. Management wants people to believe that his 15th title reign is very important, so they might keep the belt on him a long time to emphasize that.

Edsac Goes Live, At UK's National Museum of Computing 25

from the sometimes-things-get-lost-in-the-mail dept.
Rambo Tribble (1273454) writes "Britain's National Museum of Computing has flipped the switch on the venerable Edsac computer. The arduous task of reconstructing the 1949 behemoth, fraught with little in terms of the original hardware or documentation, was brought to fruition on Wednesday. As project lead, Andrew Herbert, is quoted as saying, "We face the same challenges as those remarkable pioneers who succeeded in building a machine that transformed computing." A remarkably shaky video of the event, replete with excellent views of the floor at the videographer's feet, can be found here."

Last night's Dancing With the Stars featured a new "Insta-Dance" twist on top of the more traditional performances, with the five pairs competing for up to 60 points.
To the surprise of no one, Jennifer Grey fought her ailing body all the way to the top, putting forth a quick step full of bounce and an instant rumba that was superb.
Right there with her was Brandy, whose waltz was full of grace and whose instant cha cha to Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream" earned a standing ovation from the crowd.
Still the favorites to take home the Mirror Ball.
Jennifer fared slightly better in her instant dance, with Brandy's waltz giving her the slight edge there. Appropriately, the two favorites both earned a total of 57 points.
Flying under the radar all season but showing great improvement is Kyle Massey, who showcased a range of skills last night with a slow waltz and fast jive.
The boy becoming a man before our eyes was just one point behind the leaders when the dust settled Monday, making a compelling case he belongs in the finals.
Will the viewers reward him that?

Smart people that care about one another and care about their business. They are passionate about their work, but they don't expect you to be married to your job. The management team has good travel experience (good and bad sometimes). The senior team respects and values the employees. They are very open to feedback and I feel like they value the contribution and ideas of every employee.
Management is not looking to innovate much. They are looking to tweak around the edges rather than build something remarkable.
The medical benefits are below average. The working space is far below average. There are no perks to speak of including travel perks.
dare to be different. shake up leadership that is not trying to change the game. Don't be afraid to get someone new into a key position even if they have to come from outside of travel. Find someone that has built a brand and has deep direct to consumer marketing experience. consider your value proposition more and your tactical performance metrics a little less. invest in your online user experience.

Travel opportunities and supportive environment. Coworkers are friendly and willing to help. Management seems interested in employee feedback.Cons
Mediocre pay and inconsistent leadership. They're having a tough time during the economic downturn. Growth opportunities are very limited.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Senior managment should keep communication with employees open. They should be flexible with schedules, travel opportunities and pay. It would be great if they could find new ways of attracting a larger market share.Approves of CEO

Wow, this is a good question cause it don't have much good reasons to work here. In todays economy, it's a great reason to be working here. But seriously, the best reason to work here is perhaps the people. For the most part everyone is really nice and helpful and everyone tries to do their job according to standards. Other than the people there's not a good good reason to work here. As the last review said, this job is good only if you can't find a job anywhere else. It's also an ideal part-time gig for college students. Also being employed by this company you can get travel agent discounts on some stuff such as theme park tickets and hotel stays, etc. Don't expect to be going on cruises all willy nilly....it's a big LIE. Again, the last review was very much on point. Only top execs or the same people gets to go on cruises.Cons
There is absolutely no work/life balance at this company. They like to change your schedules without notice as if you don't have a life. Getting time-off or vacation approve is almost IMPOSSIBLE with these people. When you need time off the only option for the most part is to get your shift swapped with another employee and even doing that is hard enough cause most people don't like to give up there days OFF especially if it's a Fri or Sat....All sales agent has to follow a script and if you dont follow it, your penalized for scoring. Sales coaches show you love of course when you make the sales (any sales business do) but when numbers not looking good, they sure will remind you every time "you're not doing your job" The reservation system they use is crap; every day it's always some technical problems that makes the job more frustrating on top of dealing w/ rude customers. There's so much this company need to improve on for their call center. People getting hired are fed lies. They have laid off before in 2007 and 2008 and 2009 probably is not gonna be any differ after the busy season. Again, only if you can't find a job somewhere else, a college student or just looking extra part-time income working here is an option, otherwise STAY AWAY.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Stop making changes every quarter. Fix your scheduling system, it need to be more work/life balanced and update your reservation system, IT SUCKS!!. Start appreciating your employees by APPROVING some time/vacation days.Doesn't RecommendNo opinion of CEO

Fabulous Vegan Vanilla Frozen Yogurt
Use this luscious frozen-yogurt base as the starting point for limitless dessert possibilities.
Pile this rich, thick frozen yogurt high with chocolate sauce, sprinkles, nuts, and fruit—whatever you like! No ice-cream machine? No worries! Place your frozen-yogurt mixture into a one-quart plastic bag and seal tightly, squeezing out as much air as possible. Place this bag into another one of the same size. Finally, fill a one-gallon plastic bag with four cups of ice and one tablespoon of salt, and add the double-bagged mixture. Seal tightly, wrap in a towel, and shake well for about 10 minutes. Voila, instant frozen yogurt!
- 3 cups plain soy yogurt
- 1/2 cup light agave nectar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- Line a strainer or colander with cheesecloth and fill with soy yogurt. Wrap the edges of the cheesecloth over the yogurt until fully covered, and place strainer or colander over a pot deep enough to catch the liquid and keep the yogurt from sitting in the moisture. Cover pot with plastic wrap and let sit in the refrigerator for a minimum of eight hours.
- In a medium bowl, combine the strained yogurt, agave, and vanilla. Freeze mixture in an ice cream machine based on the manufacturer's instructions. For a soft-serve consistency, serve immediately after freezing. For a firmer consistency more like standard ice cream, pack into an airtight container and let chill in the freezer for at least four hours.

Forty years ago this day, Pakistan passed the second amendment to its Constitution, forcibly declaring the Ahmadis non-Muslim.

I will call up all my Christian friends to apologise and express my grief, pain and sorrow. August 14, 2010 94 people were killed and more than 120 injured when the places of ...Read Full Post
The importance we (don't) give our country
When one thinks about Pakistan, what is it that comes to mind? For some, it's a land with troubled tribal areas or a cradle for terrorism. For many, it's a haven for corrupt politicians, backed by a corrupt legislation and a flawed constitution. And for others, it's just a mistake that Mr Jinnah made 67 years ago. If you ask a young, college-going boy about what Pakistan is to him, he will probably say that it's, "A country in which I was born, raised and taught the tricks of getting my way in the world either by hook or by crook. A ...Read Full Post
Don't worry Pakistani immigrant, the West will not treat you the way you treat your minorities
Migrating to a Western country has many perks. Considering Pakistan's current situation, it's quite natural for people to look for opportunities elsewhere, and migrating to a more developed country is usually one of the most sought-after solutions. Those who can avail it, almost always take the opportunity as soon as it presents itself. So, it is disheartening to see some of those very people crying wolf on the smallest of issues and basing it on the religion they belong to or the country they originate from. Here is an instance where I experienced such behaviour first-hand. One fine evening, I bumped into an acquaintance ...Read Full Post
A royal massacre
It is one thing to be a bystander to animal cruelty but it is an entirely different thing to stormily strike and wound a living creature and then have the nerve to back your sadism with a very exasperating false impression of royalty. A Saudi prince comes to our homeland, gets a 'special permit' to kill a 100 protected houbara bustards, multiplies 100 by 21 and without any hesitation winds up by killing nearly 2100 birds instead. What's even more appalling is how easily this royal walks away from this heinous indulgence without being stopped or having to face any repercussion. Since ...Read Full Post
They can force them to convert to Islam but they can't win their hearts!
As an expatriate boy growing up in Saudi Arabia, I dreaded attending my school's mandatory afternoon prayer session. At the end of every long day in Manarat Al-Sharkia, all the Muslim students and teachers gathered before the final two classes to offer Zuhr (noon) prayers in the school's stinking gym that carried a rancid air powerful enough to rival Hitler's infamous gas chamber. By prayer time, the gym's floor had already been saturated by the sweet-smelling sweaty socks of hundreds of young perspiring boys. Thankfully, the school management realised that the gym's surface was probably host to a number of diseases ...Read Full Post
Sawan Masih: Another injustice in the name of justice!
It appears that the public would rather Sawan jaey, than Sawan aaey. Sawan Masih, 26-years-old, a poor cleaner and the father of two, was arrested last year for allegedly uttering blasphemous remarks during an argument. He protested his innocence saying that there was a property dispute concealed under the accusation of blasphemy but to no avail. Sawan and his family lived in Lahore's Joseph Colony with other Christian families, clustered together for safety. Unfortunately, the numbers on 'the other side' were far greater. When the above event occurred, a mob composed of some 3,000 people attacked Joseph Colony for several days, forcing the inhabitants to leave. When this mob destroyed a hundred ...Read Full Post
Don't tell me to 'stop being negative' about Pakistani affairs
I've lost count of the times I've been mocked for raging on the blogosphere about Pakistani matters. And many like myself have been repeatedly prescribed a 'positive attitude'. These patronising suggestions need to stop. One of the leading complaints against liberal writers and media outlets is that they allegedly 'focus on the negativity' and fail to provide sufficient coverage to the saccharine, more palatable details of our country. Such 'positivity' is the staple diet of nationalists who are easily irked by information of our national imperfection and the blessed opium of the ignoramuses who cannot conceive the astronomical depths to ...Read Full Post

The Continentalist: Germany Trips Up EU on China Ties
How to manage trade relations with China, with an eye toward achieving reciprocity, is the million-dollar question on both sides of the Atlantic. The question was on prominent display at the 15th European Union-China summit last Thursday, where the two economic giants once again agreed to avoid protectionism, at least on paper.
Trade between China and the EU rose to $556 billion in 2011, but grievances on both sides continue to weigh heavily on the relationship. At the summit, Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao complained pointedly about the EU arms embargo against China as well as Brussels' refusal to grant China market economy status that would result in preferential tariff rates. The EU's biggest complaints center on what it considers to be unfair trade practices, in particular the disparities between the two sides when it comes to open markets: As the European Chamber of Commerce in Beijing recently complained, while Chinese corporations can successfully shop in the EU for businesses or even strategic public goods, such as the Piraeus port in Greece or the Düsseldorf airport in Germany, European corporations trying to operate in China find that most companies, let alone public assets, are either off limits or not for sale. ...

Deer Grove Forest Preserve

The west side is wilder, the forest denser and crisscrossed with footpaths along the rolling terrain. Quite woodlands, white-tailed deer and a completely different experience await the hiker on the west side. Both paths are equally enchanting.
