Bird Watching Areas in Dorset
Portland Bird Observatory
The Portland Bird Observatory sits in the old lower lighthouse and makes an ideal spot for observing the many species of birds that visit Portland. Portland Bird Observatory and Field Centre is an independent organisation and a UK registered charity. The Observatory keeps a comprehensive list of all species spotted on Portland - a total of 355 species are listed, not bad for an area less than 5 miles by 1.5 miles in size! As well as being the centre for bird watching on Portland the observatory also branches out to cover insects, plants and mammals of which Portland has many rare and some unique species. The observatory includes a comprehensive bookshop and staff are incredibly knowledgable and always open to share their knowledge.
^ Back to topRadipole Lake
Radipole Lake nature reserve in central Weymouth sounds unlikely, but once you are on the footpath amongst the reeds and lagoons you could be far away in the countryside. There are well-known birds here such as house sparrows, finches and robins, alongside uncommon or rare birds like Cetti's, warblers and bitterns. The visitor centre looks out over open water, and firm paths suitable for wheelchairs and pushchairs take you into the best areas to see bearded tits and summer-visiting reed, sedge and grasshopper warblers.
The visitor centre is open daily 9 am to 5 pm, 4 pm in winter; hide - 8.30 am to 4.30 pm. Centre and hide closed Christmas and Boxing Day.
^ Back to topLodmoor Bird Reserve
The large reedbed, open water, saltmarsh, wet grassland and bushes attract many different birds. Bearded tits and Cetti's warblers can be seen all year and autumn migration can be spectacular, with hundreds of swallows, martins and wagtails, as well as lots of wading birds. Lodmoor has one of the largest common tern colonies in the south-west, and the hide provides great views of their fascinating courtship and the chicks growing up through spring and summer.
^ Back to topThe Fleet and Chesil Beach
The Chesil Beach and Fleet Reserve Centre is an excellent base and with Portland Harbour, the Fleet Lagoon and Chesil Bank with all their natural assets including saltmarsh, lagoon, scrub and grassland, seabirds and waders, cross channel migration makes for a wide variety of birds to spot within one easy location. Having said that it, Chesil Beach stretches along the coastline for 18 miles enclosing the Fleet Lagoon.
Access to some of the reserve is restricted during certain time of the year to protect the breeding of sensitive species. Information and permits area available from the Fleet Warden who is situated at the Centre. Guided walks can be arranged.
^ Back to topAbbotsbury Swannery
Mute swans have been nesting in this sheltered spot in the lea of the shingle beach of Chesil Bank for over 600 years. A sanctuary for the swans was established at least as early as 1393 by monks of the nearby Benedictine abbey. Nesting mute swans are usually intensely territorial, so it is unusual to see this many pairs in proximity to each other.
Apart from the swans, many species of waterfowl take advantage of the habitat. Over 300 different varieties have been recorded making the area great for general bird watchers as well as the swan fans.
^ Back to topArne
This is an unusual and special landscape where you can enjoy a vast expanse of open heathland and old oak woodland. There is a variety of special wildlife to see. In summer look out for Dartford warblers nesting in the heather, nightjars flying at dusk and as many as 22 species of colourful dragonflies. The reserve overlooks Poole Harbour where you can watch thousands of wading birds, ducks and geese including avocets, black-tailed godwits and brent geese in winter. Ospreys are regularly seen on migration in late summer and in autumn.
A new visitor building is opening soon and RSPB staff organise a range of guided walks and events to help you see some of our most exciting species.
^ Back to topBrownsea Island
Brownsea Island, located in Poole harbour is owned and run by the National Trust since 1961. The island is a fantastic location for bird watching. It is a habitat of national and international importance for a variety of birds including dunlin, kingfishers, common and sandwich terns and oystercatchers.
Brownsea was home to BBC's Autumnwatch in 2008 and is home to a thriving population of the scarce and threatened red squirrel and offers winter shelter to a quarter of the UK's winter population of avocets; a black and white bird with a long, curved beak.
Brownsea Island offers a varied and beautiful landscape for enjoying the wonders of nature; from the patchworks of woodland, heath and grassy fields in the peaceful and secluded interior, to the cliffs and beaches of the coastline, which offer breathtaking views across the harbour to the Purbeck Hills.

Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare
Genre: Adventure
Edward Carnby, the supernatural detective is back! And this time it's for revenge. Carnby's best friend, Charles Fiske has been found dead off a mysterious island near the coast of Maine, Shadow Island. From his first steps on Shadow Island in the cold night of winter, Carnby is immediately confronted by mysterious and evil creatures which seem utterly determined to stop his progress. When will Carnby end this horrible nightmare?
There's plenty of reasons to look forward to another Alone in the Dark game… but there's a reason that they called this one The New Nightmare instead of just Alone in the Dark 4. The look and feel of the game has changed quite a bit in this next step of evolution in the series. No more cartoons here boys and girls, this is some nitty gritty dark spooky gaming. The look will definitely have you feeling alone in the dark sometimes, but then, the outdated Resident Evil horror survival style of gameplay might as well.

text: 10 tips to help you get to grips with adviser employment contracts By Roderic Rennison 11 Feb, 2013 at 13:46 Last year's court battle between Towry and Raymond James served to confirm adviser employment contracts are not always well-drafted or well-understood neither by the employer nor the advisers. If you have not reviewed your firm's adviser employment contracts in the light of this case, you should do it now. Here are 10 tips to help firms get their advisers' contracts right and avoid costly disputes. Sponsored by: What's in a contract? You need to be clear what you want any contract to achieve. You must have clarity around client ownership and the accompanying obligations of each party. If something is unclear, make sure you have the agreement of the business owners confirmed in writing before you start any review exercise. Avoid DIY Money spent on lawyers is a necessary evil and avoiding it is likely to be a false economy. It is tempting to assume someone else's employment contract is fit for your purpose. However, this could lead to you inadvertently incorporating unnecessary or contradictory elements into your contracts. Mixing contracts from different sources is even more dangerous. It is best to pay a lawyer to draft the contract for you. Hire the right lawyer Obtaining input from a suitably qualified lawyer is a prerequisite. Not only should you hire a specialist employment lawyer as opposed to a generalist, but you should hire one who can demonstrate knowledge and experience of dealing with financial intermediaries. Do not be afraid to ask for references before you commit. Set out in writing what you are expecting to achieve and get the required confirmations in writing before you start. Keep it simple, stupid The Kiss principle – 'Keep it simple, stupid' – is one to keep firmly in mind when drafting adviser employment contracts. Everyone benefits when contracts are written in straightforward English as they are more likely to be understood and adhered to. Communicate, communicate, communicate Firms that take steps to explain the contents of the contracts to their advisers – ideally by organising a face-to-face briefing with the lawyer who drafted it – are likely to have fewer disputes because there is less room for misunderstandings. Firms should also consider going a step further and producing a simple guide to help employees understand the meaning of the contract and its impact in specific circumstances. Trying to keep the terms hidden, obscure or unclear serves no useful purpose. Retain flexibility Ensure contracts are drafted in a way that enables them to be adapted for possible changes rather than having to go through the cost and bother of wholesale redrafting. Additionally, take steps to ensure the changes are effectively communicated and acknowledged by the advisers, ideally in writing. Beware of the impact of acquisitions As seen with the fallout from Towry's acquisition of Edward Jones, an acquisition can trigger disputes over contracts and client ownership. You need to make it clear what is expected of advisers with regard to client ownership, and the consequences and possible penalties for failing to meet the agreed terms of the contract. If you acquire a firm and retain its principal, they should be fully bound in the same way as other advisers and the financial penalties should be spelt out clearly. Where one firm has acquired another, make sure the terms of adviser contracts are consistent and do not clash or contradict each other. For this reason, if it is legally achievable, having a standard adviser contract across all companies in a group is desirable. Don't forget the obligations of retiring advisers… If you have set policies or procedures that apply on an adviser's retirement, these should be set out in the contract. Where ongoing commission or fees are to be paid, the obligations of the retiring adviser in relation to their future activities and conduct should be clearly spelt out. …and those advisers who take over the retirees' clients When an adviser inherits clients from a retiring IFA, it is also vital the inheriting adviser is clear about client ownership and any commissions they must cede to the retired adviser. It is best to obtain their written agreement to these terms and their ongoing obligations. Follow through Having spent time and money drafting new or revised contracts, take steps to ensure they are signed and filed away safely. A surprising number of firms fail to do so, which can often damage their intended outcomes. Make a specific person responsible for oversight to ensure there are no loose ends. The same applies to reviews and amendments. While advisers are the lifeblood of any firm, the contracts that confirm their entitlements and obligations are fundamental if a business is to demonstrate its effective management and control of its resources. This in turn will help to underpin the worth of the business to an acquirer in case of a future sale. The quality and enforceability of adviser contracts will have a direct impact on price.

Ferguson's Pub

Avid Food Network watchers saw Alton Brown eat a brain sandwich as he made a stop while traveling across the United States.

The South City bar has shuffleboard, locals and the vital cheap beer that most bars do, but among the fried chicken and burgers on the menu, not every bar can claim they have the brain sandwich.

Riddles Penultimate Café and Wine Bar
6307 Delmar Blvd., St. Louis; Tel. 314.725.1153
St. Louis' University City has had Riddle's Penultimate Café and Wine Bar as a staple since 1985, and they haven't failed to impress yet. The café sits right on the St. Louis loop that bustles with people and takes advantage of its location with outdoor seating in front of the restaurant so customers can people watch over a glass of wine. A "standing menu" is offered year round regardless of seasonal selections, but a "daily menu" takes advantage of the mid-west fresh selections by changing, as the name implies, daily. A fine selection of wine, and beer, spanning the world is also at hand. St. Louis couldn't do any better with Riddles Penultimate Café and Wine Bar.
Rue 13
1311 Washington Ave., St. Louis; Tel. 314.588.7070
A great place to meet new people or to hang out with friends, Rue 13 brings the St. Louis nightlife some spice with strong cocktails, a sushi bar and an awesome DJ spinning at night. The St. Louis bar has a great happy hour that attracts the local young businesspeople to share ideas over specials on appetizers and drinks. St. Louis has received the West Coast atmosphere of Rue 13 with open arms and the bar is becoming increasingly popular.
Sally T's
6 Main St., St. Peters; Tel. 636.397.5383
Right outside of St. Louis, Sally T's brings the rock 'n roll to Old Towne St. Peters along with good food and drinks. The restaurant has a full menu but is known for their roast beef and pastrami sandwiches during lunch and dinner. Open mic nights, jazz, folk and rock take up the nighttime entertainment at Sally T's where all ages can enjoy the shows. Weekends are geared towards the drinking crowd when local bands perform to 21 and over crowds. Sally T's is a great bar to enjoy a live local show in a nice atmosphere.
Sasha's Wine Bar and Market
706 De Mun Ave., Clayton; Tel. 314.863.7276
A few blocks away from St. Louis' Washington University, Sasha's Wine Bar and Market is one of the best places to enjoy a nice day in the St. Louis area. Everyone from young professionals to seasoned adults come to Sasha's to enjoy a glass of wine. The wine bar is inside and outside, but it's the ability to make the location open air that draws customers in warm weather. The wines are available by the bottle, glass or 1.5-ounce taste to accompany wine friendly snacks and entrees. On the other side of Sasha's Market, Jimmy's Café and Kaldi's Coffee complete the trendy ambiance of this section of St. Louis.
Schlafly Bottleworks
7260 Southwest Ave., Maplewood; Tel. 314.241.2337
At their second location—the first being the Tap Room in downtown St. Louis—Schlafly treats their food with just as much respect as they do their beer. Using only the finest and freshest ingredients, many straight from their garden, Bottleworks features organic and fresh pizzas, pastas, sandwiches and entrees. The restaurant, located outside of St. Louis in Maplewood, also has a Sunday brunch on weekends that diners can enjoy in the sunny beer garden. Wine, beer and cocktails can be ordered from the bar, but keep in mind it's a brewery and that means the beer is fabulously fresh.

Ohio Man Perched on Top of the World After Turkey Calling Win
Photo available upon request.
Official Sponsor |
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — It's not often a man can say he's the best in the world at what he does - unless he's Shane Hendershot from Zanesville, Ohio.
After displaying nerves of steel and amazing skill, Hendershot was crowned champion in the first ever Head-to-Head contest at the Grand National Turkey Calling Championships in Nashville, Tenn., Feb. 17.
By winning a title at the world's most prestigious contest, Hendershot is in fact, the best in the world.
"It's awesome to win any national title, but this one is special because it's the first year we've had this contest, said Hendershot. "I love the head-to-head aspect because it adds pressure to see another caller across the stage. I love pressure. The more pressure the better."
Each year, the National Wild Turkey Federation hosts the Grand National Turkey Calling Championships during the NWTF National Convention and Sport Show. Dozens of the world's best adult and youth turkey callers gather to test their skills in front of a panel of expert judges.
"When we call the name of a new grand national champion, the atmosphere in the room in electric," said George C. Thornton, NWTF CEO. "It takes a special talent and years of practice to master the sounds of a wild turkey. To become a champion on our stage is the most prestigious honor a turkey caller can achieve."
This year, champions will be crowned in 10 divisions at the 35th annual NWTF convention, which is sponsored by MidwayUSA and housed at the Opryland Resort and Convention Center.
In the Head-to-Head division, callers imitate the yelps, cackles and clucks of a wild turkey hen. Overall, the winners from each division competed for their share of more than $25,000 in cash and prizes.
The NWTF National Convention and Sport Show attracts tens of thousands of hunters and outdoor enthusiasts who explore a sport show that's larger than four football fields, meet their favorite celebrities from the hunting industry and watch the world's best turkey callers compete.
In 2012, the 36th annual NWTF National Convention and Sport Show will return to Nashville and the Opryland Resort and Convention Center, Feb. 9 to Feb. 12.
Founded in 1973, the NWTF is dedicated to the conservation of the wild turkey and the preservation of our hunting heritage.
Through dynamic partnerships with state, federal and provincial wildlife agencies, the NWTF and its members have helped restore wild turkey populations across the country, spending more than $331 million to conserve 15.9 million acres of habitat for all types of wildlife.
The NWTF works to increase interest in the outdoors by bringing new hunters and conservationists into the fold through outdoor education events and its outreach programs - Women in the Outdoors, Wheelin' Sportsmen, JAKES and Xtreme JAKES.

Police Deny Finding Drugs At Justin Bieber Home
Tuesday, January 21, 2014
(Los Angeles, CA) -- Police are coming to the defense of Justin Bieber, denying reports that they found drugs belonging to the pop star during last week's raid. The Los Angeles Sheriff tells "E! News" that there's no truth to earlier TMZ reports claiming police chose to overlook marijuana and codeine bottles when they searched the Calabasas mansion in relation to a vandalism incident. The sheriff also answered questions about Bieber's rumored "smoke room," putting the speculation to rest by saying the home was "well kept and clean" and didn't have "an unusual odor." The egging investigation is still ongoing, and police say they only confiscated Justin's cell phone and security tapes in connection to it.

The wide availability of independent copy shops and services might make you think that copiers are a piece of office equipment that you can do without. However, fulfilling your copy needs in-house can save you money, because the cost to outsource copying can be greater than operating your own machines. It is also more convenient to have copiers available at your business location, and the convenience cuts out the turnaround time involved in sending copy jobs out to a shop. Copiers can also lend an air of professionalism to your office operations. Employees and clients can infer a level of success from your ability to process work in-house.
Cost Savings
Some business owners avoid buying a copier because they think it will cost them money. While the copier itself is an expense, buying a copier can actually save you money. Purchasing copies at an office supply store or copy shop costs anywhere from five to 15 cents per page. If you make 100 copies, this is a total expense of $5.00 to $15.00. If you have a copier, you can purchase 500 sheets of paper for as little as $4. This reduces your cost to less than a penny per page.
A multi-function copier that copies, prints and faxes can save you even more money, especially if you change your printing habits. Just changing your font can help you save thousands of dollars each year. Diane Blohowiak, the director of computing and information technology at The University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, switched the campus default font from Arial to Century Gothic. Century Gothic uses 30 percent less ink, so Blohowiak estimates the campus will save several thousand dollars per year.
Increased Productivity
If you do not have a copier for your business, you must spend time traveling to a local copy shop and stand in line waiting to make copies. If you make several trips to the copy shop each week, you are spending a lot of time making copies. Having a copier in your office eliminates the need for these trips and makes it possible to copy documents within a matter of minutes. Some copy shops are so busy that you have to wait several days to pick up your copies. When you have your own copier, you eliminate these delays.
Professional Output
Purchasing a copier allows you to produce professional documents that present your business in the best possible light. When you write documents by hand, it may be difficult for customers and colleagues to read your handwriting. It also looks like you did not care enough to take the time to format the document nicely and print it so that it is easily readable. Having a copier allows you to print documents in a uniform size and font. If you have a color copier, you can also add pie charts, bar charts, graphs and photographs to your documents, which enhances their appearance.
Environmental Impact
Selecting the right copier can even help you reduce your company's impact on the environment. Duplex copiers allow you to print on both sides of a piece of paper, which reduces the amount of paper you use each day. The Environmental Protection Agency says that adding the ENERGY-STAR® label to every copier, as well as setting your copier to default to the duplex setting, would reduce paper usage by more than 200 billion sheets. These efforts could save approximately 20 million trees.
Misjudging Capacity
Copiers are a familiar type of office equipment. You may be tempted to leave the model selection decision to staff members, since they are likely the ones who will be using the machine most often. Copiers can be a significant operational expense, however, and the selection of the right model for your business involves certain pitfalls that you should try to avoid. One of the initial problems with choosing a copier is misjudging your business needs. Copiers have capacity thresholds. If the copier you select cannot accommodate the amount of copy work your business generates, it may malfunction repeatedly due to overuse. You must match the machine's capacity to your heaviest expected use.
In-house copiers are not always the right solution for every business. If your company only makes copies periodically, it may make more sense to send the copy jobs out to a copy shop. The expense involved in maintaining a piece of equipment that your staff uses occasionally may seem like an innocuous luxury, but it ultimately affects your company's profitability.
Copiers sport a wide range of functionality. Some copiers are so complex that they require special training for your staff to operate the equipment properly. In some contexts, it can also be true that a piece of equipment that does many things does nothing particularly well. It is an insidious pitfall to choose the most advanced copier with the most bells and whistles if your company only needs a machine that can simply copy a document.
Operational Costs
Copiers require supplies. The cost of supplies increases with the complexity of the equipment. One of the problems with locating a copy machine in-house is this unavoidable operational expense. You can easily lose control of this expense if your staff starts to use the machine in wasteful ways.
The widespread use of computers has caused an increase in the copier market. Ricoh Americas Corporation, a popular office equipment supplier, is 2011's top selling supplier of black and white and color copiers. There are many types and styles of multi-functional copiers on the market, and the amount you pay for your copier will depend on the functions it can perform. Copiers are generally quite expensive because they are typically large, bulky and energy intensive. However, there are many new styles of copiers available that are less bulky and more energy-efficient. Traditional copiers tend to be less expensive, but copiers that save energy and have multiple features can be quite expensive.
Energy-efficient copiers can reduce electricity costs by 60 percent yearly, and these copiers generally cost between $400 and $800. Desk copiers range in price from $30 to $150, and most models do not include ink cartridges. Industrial copiers, which are generally used in large office settings, can cost $2000 or more.
In-house copiers are convenient and can allow your staff to quickly produce copies whenever needed. If you select the right machine, it can be a more cost-effective option than outsourcing your copy jobs to a shop or service. The copiers you select must be equipped to handle your regular copying needs. Overuse can cause the equipment to malfunction, leading to a loss in efficiency. You should also be careful to select machines that have a level of functionality that is appropriate for your office. Copiers have a wide range of functionality. Picking a model that has more features than your staff will use may create confusion and result in underutilization.
Many businesses rely on copy machines to duplicate documents and create presentation materials for important meetings. When you don't have a reliable copier that meets your needs, your business could suffer. High tech copiers, however, can cost quite a bit of money. If you would like to purchase top-of-the-line equipment without spending a lot of money, then consider choosing refurbished copiers that meet your specific duplication needs.
As you search for refurbished copiers, you will undoubtedly find that there are numerous models that might suit your needs. Instead of choosing one at random, you should compare the features of each option to make sure that you choose the best one. Consider, for instance, whether the copier can print in color or black and white.
