FAIR stood the wind for France
When we our sails advance,
Nor now to prove our chance
Longer will tarry;
But putting to the main,
At Caux, the mouth of Seine,
With all his martial train
Landed King Harry.
And taking many a fort,
Furnish'd in warlike sort,
Marcheth tow'rds Agincourt
In happy hour;
Skirmishing day by day
With those that stopp'd his way,
Where the French gen'ral lay
With all his power.
Which, in his height of pride,
King Henry to deride,
His ransom to provide
Unto him sending;
Which he neglects the while
As from a nation vile,
Yet with an angry smile
Their fall portending.
And turning to his men,
Quoth our brave Henry then,
'Though they to one be ten
Be not amazed:
Yet have we well begun;
Battles so bravely won
Have ever to the sun
By fame been raised.
'And for myself (quoth he)
This my full rest shall be:
England ne'er mourn for me
Nor more esteem me:
Victor I will remain
Or on this earth lie slain,
Never shall she sustain
Loss to redeem me.
'Poitiers and Cressy tell,
When most their pride did swell,
Under our swords they fell:
No less our skill is
Than when our grandsire great,
Claiming the regal seat,
By many a warlike feat
Lopp'd the French lilies.'
The Duke of York so dread
The eager vaward led;
With the main Henry sped
Among his henchmen.
Excester had the rear,
A braver man not there;
O Lord, how hot they were
On the false Frenchmen!
They now to fight are gone,
Armour on armour shone,
Drum now to drum did groan,
To hear was wonder;
That with the cries they make
The very earth did shake:
Trumpet to trumpet spake,
Thunder to thunder.
Well it thine age became,
O noble Erpingham,
Which didst the signal aim
To our hid forces!
When from a meadow by,
Like a storm suddenly
The English archery
Stuck the French horses.
With Spanish yew so strong,
Arrows a cloth-yard long
That like to serpents stung,
Piercing the weather;
None from his fellow starts,
But playing manly parts,
And like true English hearts
Stuck close together.
When down their bows they threw,
And forth their bilbos drew,
And on the French they flew,
Not one was tardy;
Arms were from shoulders sent,
Scalps to the teeth were rent,
Down the French peasants went--
Our men were hardy.
This while our noble king,
His broadsword brandishing,
Down the French host did ding
As to o'erwhelm it;
And many a deep wound lent,
His arms with blood besprent,
And many a cruel dent
Bruised his helmet.
Gloster, that duke so good,
Next of the royal blood,
For famous England stood
With his brave brother;
Clarence, in steel so bright,
Though but a maiden knight,
Yet in that furious fight
Scarce such another.
Warwick in blood did wade,
Oxford the foe invade,
And cruel slaughter made
Still as they ran up;
Suffolk his axe did ply,
Beaumont and Willoughby
Bare them right doughtily,
Ferrers and Fanhope.
Upon Saint Crispin's Day
Fought was this noble fray,
Which fame did not delay
To England to carry.
O when shall English men
With such acts fill a pen?
Or England breed again
Such a King Harry? read more »

Afghan officials probe claim that civilians killed
KABUL, Afghanistan A government delegation met Tuesday with tribal elders from a remote district in northeastern Afghanistan to investigate their claims that NATO forces killed about 60 civilians during a four-day operation, a charge that has been contested by the international coalition.
The delegation was sent to the capital of Kunar province by President Hamid Karzai. Members of the delegation met with the provincial governor, a team of local officials and elders from the remote Ghazi Abad district, where the NATO operations took place.
On Sunday, the elders alleged that NATO forces killed 64 civilians in air and ground strikes.
Nawrdin Safi, a provincial council member from Kunar who attended Tuesday's meeting, said tribal elders repeated their allegation that "more than 60 people have been killed in the four days of the operation and around 50 of that number are civilians, including women and children."
He said that the delegation was discussing a trip to Ghazi Abad.
"We have to go personally to the site to find out what's really going on and what number is correct, and how many of those killed are really civilian. ... The real investigation will be at the site," Safi said, adding that the delegation would also examine grave sites. "Hopefully we will be able to determine exactly how many have been killed."
The coalition, which is also investigating the allegation, has said video of operations on Feb. 17 - the main event of a more than three-day operation - showed troops targeting and killing dozens of insurgents, not civilians.
"We are reviewing all operations, to include several involving the use of fighter aircraft that dropped various munitions on other remote mountainous areas in the Ghazi Abad district prior to and after this event," said Rear Adm. Gregory Smith, director of communications for the coalition.
"The review of these engagements is still under way, so there's always the possibility one of them may have resulted in civilian casualties, but reports from elders in the region appear unrealistically high and unsupported by anything we know to date. The work of the joint assessment team is still ongoing, so no final judgments are being made at this time."
Separate reports that the children had burns on their hands and feet led to a dispute between the coalition and Karzai government.
The Washington Post reported Tuesday that Gen. David Petraeus, the top NATO commander in Afghanistan, had suggested that Afghans might have intentionally burned their own children to exaggerate claims of civilian casualties. The coalition vehemently denied the report.
"Gen. Petraeus never said that children's hands and feet were purposely burned by their families in order to create a CIVCAS (civilian casualty) event," Smith said. "Rather, he said that the injuries to the children appeared inconsistent with the types of munitions used and that the burns to their hands and feet may have been the result of discipline sometimes handed out to Afghan children. Regrettably this is customary among some Afghan fathers as a way of dealing with children who misbehave."

Ignorance is the most expensive commodity that you can own
The Stevens Model 311, a cheapened Fox Model B with Tenite Stock and forearm, was introduced in 1948.
Tenite stocks on Stevens double barrels were introduced in 1940 with the Stevens Model 530 which was made on the No. 5100 action and which had been adopted in the 1936-37 time frame.
The economy line Springfield Model 311 was the first Stevens gun to carry the "311" model number and was introduced in 1931. That shotgun used the G. S. Lewis designed action patent number 1,136,247 issued April 20, 1915 and covered the use of coil spring driven stikers in a hammerless double gun versus traditional rotating internal hammers. The Springfield Model 311 was made until 1947

Best hoe for weeding large garden with heavy soil?
I have a fairly large garden--about 50' x 75'. I weed all of it by hand, although I do mulch with straw quite a bit. I have a standard 5" hoe, and I'm wondering if I could be saving myself some work.
Our soil is fairly heavy, so when I see those collinear hoes or circular hoes, I wonder if they'll work. Any time I see videos demonstrating them, the soil is so nice and fluffy! Mine only looks fluffy right after tilling until the first hard rain. In fact, our soil often gets very crusted over after a hard rain and the cultivation is to allow water to penetrate as much as to remove weeds.
Any advice?
Remember any thing you see on TV is probably false including TV news. It is presented and spun to make it appear in the way that the presenter wants. Remember the old joke about the horse race between the US and Russia. The US horse won but the headlines were, "Russia comes in second, the US comes in next to last." If you think about it you can find examples of this type of presentation every day.
If you have the money to buy the hoe go ahead and buy it. If you like it, put your old hoe some where in the back of the shed. If you don't you can always use it to prop the shed door open when you are working out there.
I can not believe that any hoe is worth 40 dollars/
Also I can not I believe that you could do the job twice as fast with the advertised hoe as the one you got. You are the one providing the motive force behind each hoe.
My opinion I would look around and spend my money some where else. These long winter days make some of these things look better, than they are in practice. My wife had to use some quite strict words to keep me from going out and fertilizing the yard last weekend. It was in the mid 40's and we had ice a week ago Friday, but it was such a pretty day.
We used to grow a LOT of garlic and I researched and found the "onion hoe" it looks like a traditional hoe except the blade is about 2" wider and only about half as tall. It's light, and does a good job. Not too sure about your "heavy soil" though? I also have an "Italian Grape Hoe" which is about the same width, but much taller and heavier. It will chop through anything. I've attached a link to the onion hoe, they're available at any hardware store, got mine at the local Do It Best. Google the grape hoe if you're interested, as I recall, though, they're pricey.
Good luck,
Here is a link that might be useful: Onion HOe
I think I must not have been clear in my original post, sorry.
Currently, I use a standard 5" hoe. It works, but it moves a lot of soil, bringing weed seeds to the surface. Also, I have to bend to get the angle on the blade right, and it takes some effort to move through the soil. I'd like to use something that doesn't move as much soil, doesn't cause me to bend over, and takes less force to move--all things that are said of collinear hoes, stirrup hoes, and circular hoes. I was hoping that someone who had used these could let me know if they were really that much easier than a traditional hoe to use, and if they would work in my fairly heavy soil that gets very hard and crusty in the summer.
Sorry I wasn't clear.
In regards to the "$40 hoe"--you must live in a different market than I do, knuttle. Here, long-handled garden tools like hoes cost around $37.99 each. Tax would easily bring a garden tool up over $40. Heck, I bought a grain shovel last week, and it cost $47.
I wish they were cheaper, but they're not, which is why I'm seeking opinions before I buy one.
I think most hoes are made for short people. As I recall, I had to adjust both my hoes to fit. You can usually put the hoe in a well anchored vise and change the angle of the blade in relation to the handle if you're careful and bend it slowly.
Also, if you've never sharpened your hoe, it'll work you to death. It needs to be sharp enough to cut and not dig. I usually sharpen mine with a 10 inch mill file every day when I'm using it quite a bit.
As you already know, mulch helps :)
There are several candidates at the ProHoe web site. I have been using their 70F - Wood Handled Field Hoe for several years, and it is my weapon of choice against weeds. Since the blade is made from part of a recycled agricultural disc plow blade, it has a slight curvature, which comes in handy when you are kind of skimming the surface of the the soil to cut weeds off at the surface. The long handle lets you hold the hoe in several positions. I shorten up my grip for surface skimming. For small trees or really big weeds I use the length of the handle for a mighty wide arc chopping blow.
They have several other implements that look interesting to me, and I will probably be ordering from them again. Their stuff is tough, and their steel is substantial, takes a good edge, and stays sharp well. Farm disk plows are made to do that.

Twitter Tool Lets Users Revist First Tweets
By David Greene
Originally published on Fri March 21, 2014 6:45 am
Good morning, I'm David Greene.
It is Twitter's 8th birthday. To celebrate, the site has put out a tool that lets you see any user's very first tweet. Some were naturals. Warren Buffett's first tweet, Warren is in the house, has been retweeted more than 40,000 times. Others might cringe at their first contribution. Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple, tweeted about his dance lessons: No pain, no gain. Awkward but fun this dancing, I still can't do macarena. That's what he wrote.

freesia off shoots
so i got acouple of freesia plants at the big box store off of the clearence rack that were about a week from drying out completely, then after about a week in the ground at my place they were completely dead. so now that there dormant do i bust off all of the little shoots that are comeing off or do i give it another year in the ground and let them get a little bigger?
The white scented ones I leave in the ground all year and thin as I do Muscari (much muttering and patient weeding). The coloured ones I usually do in pots and I leave them in the pots with only whatever rain falls over the summer to maintain some soil moisture until late summer.
At which point the spawn usually falls free to be grown on and the larger bulbs can be planted up to produce their display.
They do well in river silt soils. The taller varieties benefit from added supports - whether other plants or 'gardeners' aids for upright growth' (twigs, stakes, mesh, wire...that stuff.)
If you have sneaky frosts - the long stem, coloured varieties do appreciate the shelter of a stone or brick wall and a south aspect otherwise both rain and frost mush the blooms.
I keep mine in a large pot, about 14 inches, year around. After the bloom I put the pot in a shady place until they start to grow next year. When I see new growth I begin regular water and fertilizer. They are now just finishing their bloom. Al

Local police officer rides quietly into retirement
A 30-year law enforcement career came to a quiet end last week.
Tom Wulf, who has been a New Richmond police officer since 1993, retired on March 31.
"I keep thinking I have to get up and go to work," Wulf said with a laugh. "I survived my career without any bullet holes. That's good."
Wulf, who grew up in the Horse Creek area, graduated from Osceola High School in 1974. He enlisted in the Army and served his country as a combat engineer.

September 1, 2014
AdoramaTV presents Getting the Shot with Corey Rich.
All good stories have great details—and typically, those details are what we never forget. And this remains true even when it comes to telling stories with our cameras.
In this Tech Tip, photographer and director Corey Rich remains on location with fly fisherwoman, Amy McCormick, and finds himself with a bunch of daylight left—which, of course, means more shooting!
Learn how to create and deliver a complete picture package that tells the whole story. The trick is to start thinking about capturing three important perspectives: the wide, establishing shot; the medium shot; and the all-important detail shot. And when it comes to the latter, Corey gives you tips on his go-to detail lens, the importance of backlighting your subject, and how to think about your foreground, mid-ground and background.
The result is the capturing of one of the most important pieces of the storytelling package: the detail shot! Whether you're shooting for your own personal photo album, or delivering a selection of images to a major magazine, this Tech Tip will get you thinking about how to better communicate a story that we won't soon forget.

Vegetarian Awareness Month kicks off today with World Vegetarian Day, celebrating the vegetarian lifestyle and aiming to raise awareness through education (read: awesome recipes and cool information!). Vegetarianism is so much more than tofu! Discover different vegetarian lifestyles and new recipes to love.
Types of Vegetarianism
Lacto-Ovo Vegetarianism - no meat, but dairy and eggs are fine -- this is what most people think of when they say or hear "vegetarian"!
Pescatarian - No meat, but fish is in), Flexitarian (that's me! Non-vegetarians who eati a mostly veggie diet)
Vegan - no animal products whatsoever, including dairy, honey and derivatives
Raw - a diet consisting of only uncooked/processed foods, primarily fruits and vegetables, but also including raw nuts and seeds
Macrobiotic - "unprocessed vegan foods, such as whole grains, fruits and vegetables, and allows the occasional consumption of fish. Sugar and refined oils are avoided. Perhaps the most unique qualifier of the macrobiotic diet is its emphasis on the consumption of Asian vegetables, such as daikon, and sea vegetables, such as seaweed." (from About.com)
So hug a vegetarian today and, from one flexitarian to another, maybe think about the Meatless Monday Campaign and the industrial and environmental impacts of eating meat.
Check out these links for some fabulous vegetarian recipes and ideas!

"Well that was a waste of time!" groaned Dallas as she and Molly headed back to the car after standing around the court for the entire day. Judge Chalmers had gone about his day, which neither proved nor disproved he was or wasn't Scourge.
"Tell me about it" replied Molly as she got in the car "I've got other cases over in the OCU I could do instead of this amateur hour!"
"We all got other cases Molly!" said Dallas as she got in "I've got Frank Castle, I've got a possible mutant rapist, there's an outstanding warrant for nearly every single bad guy in a costume and several for super heroes as well."
"Sooner they work out how to serve a warrant on a judge without alerting him, the sooner we can eliminate him from the list"
Dallas looked at Molly "Say that again?"
"Sooner t…"
"No the bit about…"
"Eliminate him from…" Molly looked at Dallas "You think it's me, don't you?"
"Is it?"
"Maybe it's you!" accused Molly as she pulled the car over with a screech "Guy gets killed while you're on suspension"
"You think I'M SCOURGE?!"
"Are you?"
The two officers glared at each other, the silent daggers only broken when a car horn sounded behind them. Dallas threw open the passenger door and whipped out her badge.
"Out of the car idiot!" The taxi driver looked shocked as the fiery red head stormed towards him "You want to honk? Well let's have a chat about that shall we"
"Get back in the car Dallas!" said Molly.
"I SAID OUT OF THE CAR!" yelled Dallas as she thumped the bonnet of the taxi. The driver sheepishly complied "HANDS ON YOUR HEAD!"
"WHAT?" Dallas whirled at Molly.
"Settle down and get back in the car"
Dallas glared at her partner before turning back to the cab driver "You use that horn again; I'll insert it into you. You get me?"
"Yes" whimpered the cab driver.
Dallas stormed off.
"Where are you going?" called Molly "Dallas!"
"I have an effing counselling session and then I'm going home!" yelled Dallas as she headed away. Molly shook her head and got back in the car
The red haired police officer was like a shadow, as was her partner. I will have to find out who they are as they are getting close, too close. I don't want to hurt them, but if I have to chose between them…NO! They have done nothing wrong! They believe they are right, as I know I AM RIGHT! They haven't broken the law…but they are a threat.
I tailed Elongato from the bar to his home again, waiting for a chance to strike. As I followed him home he made a detour and I find that he keeps scum for company, namely Wilbur Day. I would put bullets through them both but there is a boy with them. That fact keeps them both alive...for now! Justice will be served!
Dallas wandered towards the offices of Kurt Bagley, at the NYPD Behavioural Science And Analysis Group when she spotted someone out the corner of her eye.
"No effing way!" she muttered as she spotted a man in a trench coat with a blue baseball cap wandering the street, not nervous but watching for a tail, cautious on sight lines. Dallas went for her phone when she was bumped by the foot traffic and it hit the floor and skidded into the gutter. Dallas scowled at the crowd and pushed her way to her phone to watch it drop, almost mockingly into the sewer.
"I should arrest you all for being in my way" murmured Dallas as left her phone and began to tail her familiar foe. Dallas tailed him for a block and watched him duck down an alley, almost like a shadow.
"You don't get away from me that eas…" Dallas looked down the alley to see nobody there "Or maybe you do?"
Dallas spotted the ladder on a fire escape and quickly got to higher ground. If she was right, this was a career making bust, if she was wrong well she'd get grilled by the Captain.
Frank locked the door to the storage locker, lifted the collar of his trench coat, pulled his baseball cap down and lowered his shoulders. It was a simple trick but it worked, especially in this day and age of personal media devices people were too self absorbed. He grabbed his duffel bag and walked down the alley.
Frank stiffened at the female voice from behind him; his hand slowly slunk down to the gun on his hip.
"Don't move Frank! You're under arrest!"
Frank dropped the duffel bag at his feet and slowly rose to full height "You don't want to do this, officer"
"Yes, yes I do" The gun barrel pressed into the back of Frank's skull as the duffel bag was kicked away "Frank Castle, you have the right to remain silent!"
"I know my rights!" growled Frank "Now just so we don't have a misunderstanding; I'm going to turn around"
"You move and I'll…"Frank slowly turned as he heard the hammer draw back on the Glock and came face to face with a woman in glasses, red hair pointing it directly between his eyes. He narrowed his eyes at her; she took a deep breath and continued "You're under arrest Frank. For about ten thousand murders!"
"Who are you?"
"Detective Dallas Riordan" she replied "Now, I don't want to shoot, but you make a move and I will"
Frank stared down the barrel at her "Go home detective"
"Go home!"
"Are you serious? You're a murderer! A killer! You've put more people in the morgue than cancer! You're a serial killer plain and simple! I let you go and I'm not doing my job, which is to protect people, from people like you!" yelled Dallas "Now hands on your head!"
Frank stared at her for a solid, silent minute. He went to speak when his eyes darted and his expression went darker "I need you to give me your gun"
"Not a chance!" snapped Dallas "Hands on your head, NOW!"
"Detective, there are four men coming down the alley armed with AK-47's who work for the Pazzo's" stated Frank looking her straight in the eye "You want to live, give me your weapon!"
Dallas stared right back at Frank, her mind raced. Dallas spun around.
"Sorry detective"
Dallas tried to turn back but all there was was Frank's big fist.
Dallas sat in the back of the ambulance, an icepack on her head. Captain Burdick marched up the alley towards her "Are you okay Dallas?"
"Asides from this?" Dallas moved the icepack to reveal a large lump near her temple "I'm fine"
"And that?" Captain Burdick pointed to the four bodies lying at the end of the alley.
"I don't know Captain" shrugged Dallas "All I know is I had Frank within my grasp, he hit me and I woke up when the paramedics shook me"
Officer Eddie Dyson tapped Captain Burdick on the shoulder, an ashen look on his face. "What is it Dyson?"
"You're going to need to see this Captain" Dyson looked everywhere but at Dallas.
"What's up Eddie?" asked Dallas
Dyson smiled uncomfortably and turned away, Captain Burdick following him "Something wrong Dyson?"
"Sir, Riordan's gun has been fired, there are shell casings on the ground and from what it looks like," Dyson rubbed his head "Well you know"
"Officer, are you inferring that Detective Riordan shot these men?"
Officer Dyson shrugged.
Captain Burdick stroked his moustache "Dyson, tell Tucker I need to see him asap after he's finished doing what he's doing."
"What about Dallas?" asked Dyson.
"It appears I may have to place her under arrest" sighed Captain Burdick as he walked back to the ambulance.
Punisher War Journal
Too preoccupied with Black Talon that I nearly got taken down by the NYPD.
Seems like a good cop, don't like hitting cops nor women, if I can help it. She'll live! Had to use her Glock since she cut me off from my duffel bag when the hit squad from the Pazzo's arrived. She's also lucky they couldn't hit the floor if they tripped. Can't use that storage locker again…must get more Claymore mines
Must look up Detective Dallas Riordan…she didn't call for back up though…so she's either crazy, gung-ho or stupid…possibly all three

We went into it expecting a campground, and that's what we got. The rooms are a little musty but that is to be expected. There was a bar but we didn't check it out- yes the place is full of rowdy Aussies, which is fine. If you can get your own room, fight for it. It's no extra. Would have been happy enough but there was no staff when we tried to check out at 10-11am. The sign said "back at 4". Not acceptable. They also didn't have our reservation when we arrived but managed to squeeze us in.

It's a campsite for bus tours, a different one comes and goes nearly everyday, so atmosphere depends on the type of people in that day. You have to pay extra to use the showers and the cookers in the kitchen and you only get 30 mins of free wifi which only works in the reception and is terrible anyway, but there's a few free wifi restaurants in town.

... go on to Souillac and the Aire there.
We had a very pleasant journey there and enjoyed the view over the Dordogne as we dropped down into the valley and crossed the river.
The MH Aire is near the campsite, just off the centre of town. it is large and flat and we joined 5 other MH;s and settled down for a very cold night.

After a restful day yesterday at home, as we were worn out from our day in Toulouse the day before, we were all ready and raring to go exploring again.
Today, we chose the town of Rocamadour. And what a town it was! For those who read the blog on St Cirq you know how impressed we were with that town, however, we must say Rocamadour surpassed it for beauty and unbelievable feat of engineering building this town on the side of a cliff.

Where there's a willow, there's a way
Bush doing wonders for erosion control in Manitoba
GIMLI -- The lowly willow bush grows like a weed and has been of little use to people except as willow switches to keep children on the virtuous path.
But conservation districts across Manitoba are having great results planting willow bushes for erosion control on our lakes and rivers.
Conservationists love the willow's aggressive root system. The roots act like rebar, holding soil in place so it doesn't fall into water systems.
"Willows are the perfect species for this environment. They're easy to harvest, easy to plant, and their rooting mass is so large," said Armand Belanger, manager of the East Interlake Conservation District, based out of Gimli.
Some conservationists would like to use willow switches on landowners who seed lawns down to the water's edge. "It's the biggie" in human practises that contribute to shore erosion, said Belanger. The shallow root system of lawn grasses doesn't hold down soils at all. By comparison, native grasses can have roots two to three feet deep.
The ditch-dweller willow surpasses that. What you see above ground is just the tip of the verdure. Willows have been known to have roots 20 feet long. In residential areas, their roots can clog drains and sewer systems. Along waterways, it just holds soil in place like netting.
The EICD is overseeing willow demonstration stands on Lake Winnipeg in Hnausa Provincial Park, and on the Icelandic River in Riverton. Other conservation districts have willow demonstration sites on the Pembina River near Killarney, the Little Saskatchewan River at the Minnedosa golf course, Rat River, St. Malo Lake, and on Joubert Creek near St. Pierre-Jolys.
The demonstration plot at Hnausa shows how effective willows can be. A stretch in Hnausa park has lost about six metres of shoreline, versus the demonstration site right beside it where willows were planted just six years ago. The EICD, Department of Fisheries and Oceans and Manitoba Infrastructure and Transportation combined on the project.
However, some rock was used at the water's edge so wave action couldn't undercut the bank. It's still debatable whether riprap is needed, said Belanger. Some rock may be required where the shoreline has a bit of cliff.
Getting started is a snap. Willows fill the ditches along Manitoba roads. First, identify the wild willows you want to transplant when they are in leaf. In fall, after about two frosts, perform the transplant. You don't have to pull out the root. Just cut the willow midway or lower. Soak the ends in water for two days. Then transplant the willow two to three feet deep. One way to make a pre-hole is by hammering rebar into the ground. They take two to three years to leaf and establish a root system.
"It's a little give-back to the environment," Belanger said.
The down side is shoreline shrubbery blocks the view. However, willows can be cut down knee-high once they are established, since all you really want is their roots.
It's a welcome substitute for blanketing a shore with rocks. "Nobody wants a stone quarry in their backyard," said Chris Randall, who is doing his Masters thesis on willows for erosion control and is working with Manitoba CDs.
The biggest problem with the demonstration plots is a certain waffle-tailed symbol of Canada.
"We're finding beavers are a big problem. They love willows. They think we're putting out a buffet for them," said Randall.
The solution is putting wire mesh around early stands to keep off the furry over-biters until the willow takes root. Then beavers can trim off the willow tops to their heart's content.
Randall said willow has been used for erosion control on European waterways dating back several thousand years. It is making a comeback due to growing environmental awareness.
For more information, contact the nearest conservation district (Winnipeg doesn't have one). There are 18 CD offices in the province. They are listed at mcda.ca .

You can easily create a signature file and add it to the end of your messages.
There are two methods for placing a signature in your messages that we will go over below.
Using the Signature Personalization
An advantage to inserting a signature through this method is that you can insert your signature into multiple messages. Should you ever need to change your signature, you can update it in one centralized location and it will update in all of the messages that it appears in!
- To create the signature, first click on "List Settings" under the "List Options" tab.
- On the "List Settings" page, click on "Personalize Your List" at the top of the page.
- Here, simply enter your signature into the "Signature" box, then scroll down and click the "Save Settings" button when you're done.
- Now, to add your signature to your message click in the section of your text that you would like to add the signature to and then click the "Personalize" button in the text editing toolbar.
This will provide a drop down menu where you can select which personalization value you would like to add to your message, scroll down until you see the "Your Snippets" section and click on "Signature" to select it.
You will now see the signature personalization inserted into your message. Now, what you typed for your signature under the "Personalize Your List" section of your account will appear in that part of the message!
Using the Signature Block
When using the "Signature Block", you will be able to add an image to your signature.
- First, open up the message that you would like to add your signature to. Once the message is open, you will see the left hand sidebar with all of the different types of blocks you can place in your message. Click and hold on the "Signature Block" to select it.
Drag the signature block to the part of the message that you would like for it to appear in.
- Now that the signature block has been inserted, you can type in what you would like to appear for the signature. Just click in the text area of the signature to edit the text that is there.
If you would like to add your image to the signature, click on the "Click To Edit" place holder image.
An "Image" menu will appear on the right side of the editor. Just click the "Upload An Image" button in that menu to upload an image to use for your signature from your computer.
And that's it! You now have a signature in your message with an image.
Note: If you type in a signature into the "Personalize Your List" area of your account, it will disable your ability to add an image to your signature using the "Signature" block and then that block will just populate what you have typed for the the signature under "Personalize Your List."

My wife and i have been working and traveling around the world , and we fall in love with Cabo San Lucas where we bought a condo . This is our beach condo and we are renting it when we are in France .

Nice quiet building with path to swimming beach, and walked out to point to watch sunset and whales jumping.
This place was in fact a quiet seashore condo. The whole complex is very relaxed without any of beach vendors you get on Medano Beach. The unit is small but nice. There was no noticeable damage from the recent hurricane and everything was clean upon arrival. I'd recommend staying here if you want to be out of town a little bit.
What a fabulous little condo. We had amazing views from our balcony. From bed we woke looking at the sunrise every morning. The resort is quiet and neighbors were all very friendly. It is close enough to the Cabo night life but the private beach and pool allow you the solitude of vacation without the barrage of hawkers and crowds. As of mid January, there are still buildings that need repair and the little market is not open, but there is another one in the adjacent resort. We really had a wonderful stay and will definitely be back to the condo - hopefully very soon.
We really enjoyed our stay! The apartment was just as we expected - a great amount of space with incredible views. The hurricane destroyed the entrance to the complex, so it doesn't look very nice, but the actual apartment and pool were lovely. Thank you!
We had a wonderful time in the cabo condo! Perfect location just far enough from the medano beach craziness to be peaceful and private. Had great tacos at the pool bar and an incredible meal at the sunset de Mona Lisa. Great value. Highly recommended.
When we arrived, we found the caretaker on the property. He directed us to the unit, which was ready for us. The place was as described. It's a perfect place for a quiet getaway on a budget.
We immediately walked to Costco, 2.4km away, and bought groceries for our stay. Taxis are always at Costco for a ride home.
The ocean view is relaxing from the deck and the pool is refreshing. The bar at the pool is staffed with friendly bartenders and attendants. The food poolside is very reasonably priced, as is the beer. The private beach is easily accessible and a great place to enjoy the sunset. We were able to access the internet and TV without any issue, although we spent most of out time outdoors. The unit is accommodating, and the bed is comfortable. The porch/deck area large and equipped with a table and chairs. We ate all our meals out there.
We felt safe and secure in this unit. It's part of a gated community.
Thank you for a fabulous holiday!
Lovely condo in a nice, quiet location away from the tourist/resort madness. We felt very comfortable and appreciated all the amenities...we even cooked a meal one night! We were a little nervous when we saw the condition of the front desk/lobby area (an open air area that was partially destroyed by the hurricane), but everything in the condo and pool area were in good shape. Great deal all around!
We had an amazing time! Condo is perfectly located a few miles away from the downtown area where there is no one to hastle you. Beautiful view from the balcony. Nothing fancy but perfect for what we were looking for...the fish tacos and drinks were amazing by the pool area. Great staff! The beach is a short walk away and great snorkeling. We highly recommend staying here.
We had an awesome stay!!! Jean answered all of our questions promptly and even sent us an informational packet about the condo ahead of time. We took all of his advice to go to the restaurant onsite and to the pool bar. A great home base for a couple that wants to be close to town but not in the thick of it. We spent most evenings on the patio with a bottle of wine. Thank you!!!!
Good location - away from the Cabo madness but close and easy drive to get to town. Getting on & off the highway to reach the condo was a bit tricky but M&J explain this in their welcome letter. Condo was clean and spacious. A/C was cold but we didn't need it very much at night due to the breeze. Even got to use the snorkel gear at the nearby beach. Marie & Jean were very responsive to emails.
The only issue was the balcony. It's not very safe for young children. We had to barricade the balcony & keep a close eye on our 14-month old.
We would definitely stay here again!
we have been visiting Mexico and jean baptiste invited us few days in his apartment , we really enjoyed this quiet condo and beach . He helped us to visit the town and a little more around the city . We had splendid vacations .

here are some articles to read through, can't vouch for them though
I thought cinnamon was supposedly a metabolism booster? You're also supposed to be able to use it to deter ants and kill mold on seedlings.
I say whatever spice makes your food more enjoyable is awesome. Especially if you get fresh spices.
