Visit to London and Israel With Jeff & Kay Lucas 2017
Ministry with Jeff & Kay staying in some of Israel's very best 4 star hotels and the West End Thistle Hotel in London*
This package includes breakfast and a brunch in London. In Israel both breakfast and evening dinner is included. Lunch is not included in Israel – but the breakfast and dinner buffets are huge with a magnificent array of choices!
Jeff and Kay look forward to showing you their home town, the city they know so well. In Israel he will be teaching and sharing from the scripture in the 'land of Jesus" in his own unique way. This will take place at the special sites and/or in the evenings following dinner, when an optional gathering is planned.
Fly from Denver to London arriving mid-morning the next day. (Flights and prices are based on British Airways flights from Denver)
You will be met at London's Heathrow Airport and escorted to your bus, before transfer to your hotel where a 'brunch' will be served. Following a period to settle in, there will be an afternoon tour featuring the Tower of London (shown below). Famous for housing the Crown Jewels, the Yeoman Wardens (often called Beefeaters), the Ravens and the Bloody Tower, this amazing fortress/palace/prison has some stunning stories to tell. The ancient tower (actually a series of towers) has been the scene of beheadings, murders and imprisonment.
And then there's a great opportunity to see London's most famous landmark bridge, Tower Bridge (shown below). In the evening there's an opportunity to find a restaurant of your choice, and for those with energy to spare, theater tickets for a West End show – your hotel is ideally situated for this.
We're off on full day's guided tour of London, seeing many historic sites including a visit and tour of stately and ancient Westminster Abbey, (where Elizabeth 1st and Mary Queen of Scots are buried) plus a walk through "Theatre Land" as well as photo opportunities of Buckingham Palace, The London Eye, The Royal Parks, and Kensington Palace. There's a lunch stop/lunch shop opportunity at Harrods (shown below), one of the world's most famous stores! In the evening, time for a dinner out of your choice, and again, a chance to take in one of London's famous West End shows.
After breakfast a free day for you to explore London. Jeff and Kay will help you plan your day and help with directions too. The Thistle Hotel is on Oxford Street (shown below), arguably the world's most famous shopping street, and just a 3 minute walk to Marble Arch Tube Station. Marble Arch is on the Junction of Oxford Street, Park Lane and Hyde Park.
DAY 5 – Galilee here we come!
Depart from the airport for a flight to Ben Gurion Airport, Tel Aviv. Transfer to your chosen hotel in time for evening dinner* where you will be checking-in to Ein Gev Kibbutz Hotel, where some special fellowship will be shared as we meet the UK group members who have arrived on a different flight.
DAY 6 - Nazareth & The Sea of Galilee
After breakfast we shall drive the short distance to Nazareth passing through Cana of Galilee where Jesus performed his first recorded miracle. We will visit the Nazareth Village (shown below) and the Basilica of the Annunciation before traveling the 30 minute journey to the shores of the Sea of Galilee. After a lunch stop in Tiberias we shall take a boat trip on the Sea of Galilee and hold a short communion service whilst 'out at sea'. Landing in Capernaum we shall visit Tabgha (where the 5,000 were fed), and then, for the fit, there's a short scramble up to the Eremos cave – where Jesus would pray alone (the cave can be seen from the road about 50 yards away for those not wishing to scramble!) We'll visit the beach where Jesus cooked breakfast for his disciples after the resurrection, and then on to the Mt of Beatitudes before returning to our hotel..
DAY 7 - The Upper Galilee, Jordan Valley and Jerusalem
Drive north for a walk in the Banias (shown below) – Caesarea Philippi area to the waterfall. (moderate fitness required, but for those with mobility difficulties the bus will transfer to the coffee shop at the waterfall to await the group. Should timings work well, the lunch stop will be at a Druze Village where, if you choose, you can try their unique style of food. Drive through the Hula Valley and along the eastern Shore of Galilee with a stop at Bethesda, the site associated with the Gaderene demoniac, before driving south along the Jordan Valley passing Jericho and ascending to Jerusalem and check –in to the beautiful Dan Jerusalem Hotel.
DAY 8 – A unique Jerusalem Day
First a visit to St Peter in Galicantu (shown below) (where Peter denied Jesus 3 times – the church is built over the dungeons where it's believed that Jesus was held before his trial.) Walk to Mount Zion and the traditional site of the Upper Room…and then a walk through the Old City to St Mark's, which is almost certainly the actual site of the Last Supper, The Upper Room and the first meeting place for believers…make sure you see the battered photos in the porch where the 1st Century Graffiti found in the room below the church gives evidence to this!
The Upper room can be visited if the Syrian Patriarch is in residence and no doubt he will serve you sweet tea and sweets in his throne room for a chat and a welcome..…The rear part of the Upper Room is today walled off as it is used as a crypt for the burial of the Patriarchs, there are steps within this part leading to the "downstairs." Visitors are not allowed in these areas. The day is completed with a visit to the Memorial to the Children at Yad Vashem.
DAY 9 – The Old City Walk
Today we shall start our walk at the Western (Wailing) Wall (shown below) where it is likely you will see Barmitzvah's taking place – don't feel nervous about joining their celebrations, you will be welcome. Next to the Temple Mount, St Stephen's Gate (Also known as the Lion Gate), Pool of Bethesda, the Via Dolarosa (the Way of Sorrows). A stop for rest and an amazing view from the Austrian Hospice, before continuing to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. A walk through the Suk (Bazaar) will bring you to the Cardo the main street from the time of Jesus. Next we visit the Davidson Centre with its superb dynamic of the Temple and the Southern Steps of the Temple where Jesus overturned the temple rogue traders. If time permits, a walk through Hezekiah's tunnel – a small flashlight and some old shoes (there's water in the tunnel) required….skirts/shorts are best if you don't want to get wet!
DAY 10 – Bethlehem and Jerusalem
This morning we visit Bethlehem and view the Church of the Nativity (shown below) and the Shepherd's Fields. A visit to the Bethlehem Bible College, to receive some of the inspiring teaching from a Palestinian Christian academic. In the afternoon starting from the Mount of Olives, we visit Dominus Flavit (The Tear Drop Church), the Garden of Gethsemane and the Garden Tomb, where there will be an opportunity for communion.
DAY 11 – The Dead Sea and Masada
We travel down the Jericho Road to the lowest point on Earth, at approximately 1300 feet below sea level. There's an opportunity for a short camel ride on the "Zero" Camel! First a visit to Qumran (shown below), where the Dead Sea Scrolls were found, next we ascend to the summit of Masada by cable car to hear its' amazing story. A lunch stop at the Ahava Dead Sea products base and an opportunity buy some special cosmetics before spending time in mud baths, swimming in the Dead Sea, taking natural hot sulphur spring baths and swimming in the pool at one of the Dead Sea Spa resorts.
DAY 12 – Goodbye to Israel
This morning we visit the Israel Museum to see the Dead Sea Scrolls and the amazing model of the City (shown below) showing Jerusalem as it may well have been in the time of Jesus, before a final visit to the Old City for some haggling or simply relaxation. Transfer to Ben Gurion Airport for your return flight to London Heathrow, a meal will be served on flight. Overnight at either the Hilton, or Renaissance Hotel at Heathrow.

If you want to turn your interest in law into a career—working in diplomacy and the foreign service, homeland security, human rights and social justice advocacy, government relations and political campaigns—consider a major or minor in Law and Public Policy. You'll explore how legal institutions and their leaders shape public policy, and you'll learn how to work with the law to accomplish your goals, whether for a government agency, a nonprofit, or a business. This degree is also good preparation for law school.
You'll learn from top faculty from across the Indiana University campus, including stellar faculty at IU's Maurer School of Law:

Got a minute?
Got a minute?
Whether you want to work as a lawyer, work for lawyers, or are considering hiring a lawyer, it is good to understand the facts behind how lawyers bill.
During 1998-2000, author Barbara Ehrenreich went undercover as low-wage, unskilled laborer in three different types of jobs. She wanted to experience first-hand just how difficult it is to support oneself as a low-wage laborer.
We recently released an insightful bit of data that looks at the ratio of pay for Fortune 50 CEOs to the pay of employees at their respective companies. The results are unsettling -- on average the Fortune 50 CEOs earn 213 times more than their workers.
Who tops the list for the biggest ratio and which CEO earns pay closest to their employees? See the answers below...
Today, we released our annual study with Bloomberg BusinessWeek on the return on investment (ROI) in education for 691 bachelor's degree granting schools.
As college costs continue to rise, the justification for paying these costs becomes ever more important. What better justification is there but a measure of their future payoff? In other words, is attending college a good investment in terms of the pay increase it offers over a high school degree?
The PayScale ROI study helps to answer this question, but the answer is not a simple yes or no. Whether attending college is a good investment or not depends upon many factors, such as the cost incurred, graduation rates at the school, major choice, and the typical pay of the school's graduates.
In this post I will briefly discuss the methodology of the study, how it changed from last year, and some key insights from the data.
Whether you went to college or not, are you earning what you are worth? Find out with a free PayScale salary report.
We at PayScale recently released the Q4 2010 results for the PayScale Index. See a previous blog post describing the Index and another one that compares the PayScale Index to other common measures of labor market health.
However, a common question posed by our readers in response to our release was, "What is an Index?" Or in other words, "What do the numerical values actually measure?"
In simple terms, an index tracks changes in a variable from some baseline time period. In terms of the PayScale Index, the variable we are tracking is the total cash compensation for full-time private industry employees in the U.S and the baseline year is 2006.
In this post I will further discuss what an index measures, how it is calculated and compare the PayScale Index to another commonly used index, the Consumer Price Index (CPI).
Understanding how we measure changes in compensation over time is interesting, but so is understanding your place in the current labor market. Find out where you are with a free PayScale salary report.
Today PayScale released the Q4 2010 results for the PayScale Index. For people who missed our first release in October, and my blog post describing the PayScale Index, the PayScale Index tracks how the market price of private sector full-time employees, as represented by the wages they are paid, changes over time.
In this post, I'll look at our results for 2010, and then compare the PayScale Index with three common measures of labor market health: the Unemployment Rate, median Usual Weekly Earnings, and the Employment Cost Index. While each is different from the PayScale Index, they are all trying to get at the same thing: how is the labor market in the US doing?
National trends are interesting, but what is your market price? In about 5 minutes you can find out what you are worth with the comprehensive PayScale salary survey.
The National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) released their annual list of top 15 paying undergraduate majors yesterday.
They are a little late: We released the PayScale list of salary by major last week :-)
While the top level take away - starting pay is highest for engineering and other technical fields - the differences are an interesting look into how a survey is defined affects the results.
Are you being paid all you are worth? Spend 5 minutes completing the PayScale online salary evaluation survey and know.
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez made the news when he announced a 40% increase in school teacher salaries (reported by plenglish.com) for the Latin American country. Teachers will reportedly see that salary boost in November of 2007. Chavez was quoted as saying, "...we will do everything possible to continue rising standard of living, not only with the basic salary but also with social security and housing plans."
While Chavez's true long-term agenda is questionable, there is no denying that U.S. educators would welcome a raise in school teacher salaries. In fact, how does the U.S. compare to the rest of the world? According to a report of global school teacher salaries by the OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development), the U.S. is lagging behind. To find out why, read more.
How does your salary compare to the average school teacher salaries? Find out with the PayScale Salary Calculator.
A recent article in the Wall Street Journal (WSJ), "Hard Case: Job Market Wanes for U.S. Lawyers", reported on the large number of law school graduates suffering under large debt with surprisingly low salary prospects.
If only these prospective law students had been reading this blog. They would have understood the difference between median and mean, and that only 10% of students can be in the 90th percentile of salaries :-)
While the Wall Street Journal focused on the somewhat misleading marketing done by second tier law schools, in truth there is plenty of data available, e.g., from PayScale's research center, on just how low the typical median starting lawyer salaries are.
In this post, I'll look at lawyers salaries: the top, the bottom, and the middle. Yes, for specific skill sets and employers, the attorney salaries are still good. That pay just is not the typical (median) law student's experience.
Is your salary above or below the median for people like you? Find out with the PayScale Salary Calculator.
A couple of comments by readers got me thinking about typical wages again. In the process, I realized that even the federal government does not know what a "typical" worker in the United States earns.
This came as a shock to me. With the frequent publication of average household income statistics, wage and salary reports, etc., by the Census Bureau, Bureau of Labor Statistics, Internal Revenue Service, Social Security Administration, and other federal agencies, I had assumed there was a well-defined typical annual wage.
Here is a pop quiz: how much do you think the typical worker in the United States earns in a year? See if you are earning what is typical for your job by using the PayScale salary calculator.
World at Work (the compensation professional organization) released recently a compensation budget survey by Compdata Surveys. The big news: the average preliminary pay increase budget is 3.65% for 2007!
Broad averages like this drive me berserk. It is incredibly precise, but downplays the huge variations that affect individual companies and employees.
There is nothing wrong with this average per se. The problem is how it is used. Companies often use average increases like this as a starting point for deciding what pay raises they will give individual employees.
However, like pay, pay increases are determined by the interaction between the local labor market for specific jobs, individual employees' motivations, and a company's business plan. These microeconomic forces dramatically alter the pay increases a company will need to spend, in order to succeed, from what broad macroeconomic averages say.
Companies are free to set pay increases by these broad averages. That is a business management decision. Of course, companies are also free to fail. :-)
Local variations are what make capitalism fun. In this post, I will look at what data is available, and what forces drive salary increases.
Are you making the most of microeconomic forces to earn what you are worth? Find out in a less than 5 minutes with the PayScale salary survey.
Some information came my way recently that got me thinking again about why women are paid less than men, on average, in the United States. See the PayScale aggregate hourly wage and average salary data for an example of the difference.
I read the full American Association of University Women's (AAUW) study of the gender pay gap, "Behind the Pay Gap." While one can argue about whether the study actually finds evidence of apples to apples discrimination - that women are paid less when they do exactly the same job, with exactly the same qualifications as men - it is clear as day that men and women in the US choose very different education and career paths, and these lead to very different salaries.
More info came in the form of comments from readers. One comment from a reader explained why going to Iraq makes sense for a guy trying to make a living as a truck driver. Other comments were by women on why they switched jobs in our article on changing careers. The stark difference in the relationship between work, money, and satisfaction expressed was telling.
This got me wondering, do only women evaluate quality of life, or true "total compensation", when deciding on a job? Are guys stuck on a treadmill with only one measure of success, total wages earned?
Are you maximizing your annual salary or living a balanced life? Find out with the PayScale salary calculator.
Sometimes we are asked, are the PayScale salary reports unbiased? Since PayScale does not explicitly select the people who complete our salary survey, how do we know the ~2% of employees in the US who have completed our survey are representative of the US working population as a whole?
The extent to which any aggregate statistic, like typical salary, is biased (inaccurate) depends on how it is constructed, and what question it is trying to answer. In this post, I'll look at three aspects of bias in reporting:
In future posts, I will look at bias in government wage calculations, and then come back to whether PayScale data are biased for the questions we try to answer.
Is your salary biased high or low? The PayScale Salary Calculator is a quick and easy way to compare positions. But when you want powerful salary data and comparisons customized for your exact position, be sure to build a complete profile by taking PayScale's full salary survey.
I was excited to wake up today and see an article about PayScale in the New York Times. Together with a recent article in Business 2.0 magazine, PayScale has been getting very good press lately.
As a person born just across the river in New Jersey, The New York Times has always represented the height of newspaper publishing to me. While it is great to be quoted in The Province (Vancouver, BC), seeing such a prominent article in the NYT says PayScale is real to my friends and family back east.
While the New York Times article was fair in describing the strengths and weaknesses of PayScale and our competitors, one small item annoyed me. As regular readers will suspect, the issue of CEO salaries in New York City touched on my obsession with mean vs. median.
Before reading another pedantic post on statistics, why not take a couple minutes to compare your salary using PayScale's salary calculator, as seen in the New York Times!
Most people in the US work force have the heard the terms "exempt" and "non-exempt," but what do they mean? While many web sites talk about pay rate, there is not a whole lot of explanation regarding exempt and non-exempt status.
While I am not a lawyer, or even an HR specialist, I am an employee, and also hopelessly curious about all things related to pay and employment. The basic law is that employers are required by the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) to classify their employees as either exempt or non-exempt.
The more I read about the meaning of "exempt" vs. "non-exempt", the more a lyric of the Paul Simon song "Train in the Distance" goes through my head, "...with disagreements about the meaning of a marriage contract, conversations hard and wild." Like a marriage, in the US an employee/employer relationship is governed by a little law, and a lot of social convention. Since much is not written down, misunderstandings are common.
Before we delve into the details, why not check out where your salary fits into all of this controversy? Find out with our ever-handy salary calculator.
In a previous post, I claimed that as few as 5 employee profiles are enough to report accurately on the typical pay for a job. How can that be?
In this post, we'll look at how statistics work, and why a small, targeted, data set is often preferable to a much larger, but poorly characterized one. You don't even need fancy math to calculate this.
If you are curious what kind of sample we have for your job, try the PayScale salary calculator.
PayScale often receives questions about how many salary survey employee profiles we have.
Our answer is we have enough, and the number is growing rapidly. :-)
This begs the question, how large a salary survey data set is enough? How many data points are required for PayScale data to be truly significant? The number needed depends on what questions are being asked. In this post, I'll look at the questions the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics and PayScale typically ask, and the amount of data each needs to handle statistical fluctuations.
You can experience our data techniques first-hand by trying the PayScale salary survey.
In a previous post, we saw how time consuming it is to calculate with pencil and paper the median salary, or any median of a data set of more than a few data points.
Even after computers became common in the 1950's, and could start doing the work, the mean still was used, because of one further nasty property of medians. Medians require retaining information about every value until the end of the period for which a median is calculated. It you want to know the median salary, you need to save every employee's salary.
Means do not require nearly as much information. In the early days of computers, storing information was expensive, so the mean was still favored for "typical".

No dessert challenge - Day 2
Sunday, October 06, 2013
Day 2 of my challenge and all is going well.
I went to my parents place for dinner and they had gotten dessert for me. Barvarian, which is a fave of mine. Luckily my parents are super supportive and understood when I declined dessert. I made my fianc� eat his portion far away from me then tell me it tasted horrible. He does a lot for me.
Since sugar is in everything I'm not cutting it out entirely. For example I am still putting 3/4 of a teaspoon of sugar on my breakfast since my yogurt is unsweetened and the ceral has minimal sugar. I am also still having a mocha coffee if I feel like one (had one today but used sweetener instead of sugar). I have also had an alcoholic beverage both weekend nights, which is unusual for me. This challenge is more focused on my sugary snacking habit that is doing a number on my skin and body.
In other news - I wore a bikini in public 2 weekends in a row. And I looked hot. I made my fianc� take pictures as proof. I wish I could post them everywhere and shout from the rooftops but as a teacher I don't think that would be a good look.
In wedding news - the wedding is all booked and planned. Just need to finalize flowers (3 bouquets, nothing major) and get a few small bits and bobs and I'm done.
In honeymoon news - we booked our honeymoon today! We weren't going to have one because we can't actually afford it but a great deal came along and with a bit of shuffling and using credit cards we managed to make it work. Irresponsible? Probably but I'm only getting married once and I want a nice honeymoon. We are gong to Fiji for 7 nights to lay on a beach, snorkel, sip cocktails and enjoy being married! We are so excited about making the honeymoon happen. This will only be Luke's second time out of the country and his first time to a tropical island (I keep saying his first time to a Pacific island but technically NZ is a pacific island). Although I have traveled extensively for my 24 years, and been to the islands, I've never been to Fiji and I've never been on honeymoon!
Very exciting times ahead!

Grand Marnier' Shrimp
With Valentine's Day coming up, this recipe will WOW your lover OR you can make it TOGETHER, which is always fun! And, it is delicious!
This is MY concoction! (Made with a friend one night after drinking a few glasses of wine and perming eachother's hair - which is another story).
Grand Marnier' Shrimp
Grand Marnier (orange liqueur) - 1/2'ish C depending on how much shrimp you have.
Shrimp - as many as you want - (deveined, rinsed and dried on papertowel)
1 can pineapple chunks with juice
Heat skillet over medium-high heat with 2 T evoo, sautee shrimp until pink (2-3 min), add same amount of pineapple chunks as shrimp (or more if you love 'em) and about 3 T of pineapple juice from the can.

.- The participants of the 1st Pro-Life and Family Congress in Guayaquil, held from March 22-25, issued a "Declaration in Support of Life" in which they reiterated "the clear and decisive choice in support of life from the very moment of conception, and above any other circumstance, until its natural end."
"Every Catholic, whatever his vocation, should work to rescue the value of human life, understand it more, make others aware of it and defend it," the statement said.
It encourages parents, "as the primary and principal educators of their children" to ensure that the true value and meaning of human life is taught in their homes. The statement also said schools should teach "the truth about the value of human life from the scientific, philosophical and religious point of view" and that the media should be transformed from "promoters of the culture of death to promoters and defenders of life"
The statement urged Catholic professionals to be "courageous witnesses and effective promoters of the Gospel of life against the culture of death," and that "clergy and religious, with the testimony of their own lives and words, should show themselves to be completely identified with the Gospel of life."
On March 24 some five thousand Ecuadorians marched through the streets of Guayaquil as part of the activities of the 1st National Pro-Life and Family Congress. Several bishops joined in the event, including Bishop Nestor Herrera of Machala, president of the Bishops' Conference of Ecuador.

Your guide to reading The New York Times
The New York Times has been criticized in the past for its use of anonymous sources. There was the debacle with the anonymous government officials who said Saddam was on a worldwide quest to build an atomic bomb. Of course, we all know that turned out not to be true, but it lent the claim enormous credibility when Dick Cheney went on Meet the Press, held up The Times and got to point at a juicy headline that mirrored his claim.
VICE PRES. CHENEY: There's a story in The New York Times this morning-this is-I don't-and I want to attribute The Times. I don't want to talk about, obviously, specific intelligence sources, but it's now public that, in fact, he has been seeking to acquire, and we have been able to intercept and prevent him from acquiring through this particular channel, the kinds of tubes that are necessary to build a centrifuge. And the centrifuge is required to take low-grade uranium and enhance it into highly enriched uranium, which is what you have to have in order to build a bomb.
It's not me saying this! It's your precious liberal rag, The Times! Well, it worked. And The Times didn't stop using anonymous sources, despite having learned (or not-learned) one of the most expensive lessons in the history of print media: don't trust government officials to tell the truth.
We return to the use of anonymous sources in today's NYT. Certain government officials (again, we don't know who they are,) who quite possibly have a vested interest in covering their own complicity in the implementation of torture, claim there was total unanimity in the Justice Department that these tactics were legal.
The claim isn't true because there wasn't a unanimous consensus. The former Deputy Attorney General, Jim Comey, had grave reservations about the torture program as copiously documented by Marcy Wheeler. One could assume that certain government officials might benefit greatly from creating the illusion that the Justice department was totally 100% behind the program so all parties can avoid taking the fall for breaking the law. So maybe — just maybe — they'd lie to save their necks.
But that doesn't matter to the paper of record. What matters is that government officials are making anonymous, baseless claims once again, and somebody's got to print that stuff!
For less savvy readers, NYT articles can be confusing. What do you believe, what should you not believe? Here's a helpful guide for any newbie to the world of anonymous government sources. We'll use today's article from The Times as an example.
Previously undisclosed Justice Department e-mail messages, interviews and newly declassified documents show that some of the lawyers, including James B. Comey, the deputy attorney general who argued repeatedly that the United States would regret using harsh methods, went along with a 2005 legal opinion asserting that the techniques used by the Central Intelligence Agency were lawful.
A curious reader may wonder: who sent these emails to The Times? Surely, that's an important detail because whoever sent them may have an interest in absolving their own guilt. Alas, the source is anonymous. The best thing to do is sit back, smile, and just hope the anonymous government officials are telling the truth. That's what The Times does even though the strategy appears to violate its own policy, which states that "the use of unidentified sources is reserved for situations in which the newspaper could not otherwise print information it considers reliable and newsworthy."
Even if The Times felt they needed to protect their source's identity that surely wouldn't then stop serious journalists from critically evaluating the memos to see that Comey had reservations about the program. Just because they protect their source's identity doesn't mean that they then have to repeat the claim that the Justice Department was united behind the legality of torture. Reprinting claims from state officials without checking the validity of those claims isn't journalism, it's propaganda.
Journalists rebut that they need to use anonymous sources to protect their access to high-ranking government officials, but what they fail to examine is the quality of their sources' information. The US has already gone to war over claims made by anonymous sources, do we now need to absolve those officials of their crimes by again relying on their use?

I have started to translate some wiki articles to Hungarian (I know the babelfish competition has ended but it is for sake of the community :)) and I try to follow the the guidelines in the WikiHelp article:
bq. If you translated a wiki page keep in mind that it has to be accessible from existing language versions.
And this is really a painful exercise on those pages which were already translated to several languages (like WikiHome). As the community grows and new and new languages will appear on the site it will become almost impossible to manage it. Did I just overlook a feature which solves this issue or this manual solution is the only one? If later, I would like to suggest to somehow automate this process (eg. let people register the translated page and prepare the language navigation bar automatically).

Patient Comments: Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease - Symptoms and Signs
What were the symptoms and signs of your hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD)?
Comment from: ErikBourre, 19-24 Male (Patient) Published: July 18
The pure agony that is hand, foot, and mouth (HFM) disease! It all started out as a mild fever, which ended up getting better, so I thought I was getting better. How horribly wrong I was. It is day four or five now, and the blisters and spots have moved from my hands very quickly up my forearms and partially onto my upper arms. I have blisters sporadically up my legs past the knees, but my throat is not that bad. The worst part of all of this is the itchiness, I wasn't able to sleep for a single minute because of how itchy these sores are, and I used half a bottle of anti-itch cream. The cream was useless, the sores laughed at my cream as if it were nothing. I just hope when I see the doctor today he can prescribe something, or at least give me hope that this nightmare will be over soon. Good luck to all of you!
Comment from: Wang, 25-34 Male (Patient) Published: May 30
My 13-month son was diagnosed with scarlet fever last Friday and started on antibiotics. Then I spotted some rashes on his hands and feet later that day and thought they might be the symptom of scarlet fever. Then on Sunday night I got the first time over-the-night fever in my life and paracetamol didn"t work. By Monday afternoon the fever finally went away but I started to get a few rashes on the side of my finger, together with a sore throat. Next morning the rashes got worse and looked like tiny holes filled with fluid underneath my skin! I went to the doctor and confirmed for hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD). Now it"s Wednesday morning and it got even worse! I am almost certain that the first doctor has misdiagnosed my son and it wasn"t scarlet fever but HFMD. He is recovered now and the sand paper like rashes attributed to scarlet fever never appeared, only spots on his hands and feet. And I would definitely say the disease is more severe on adults then on infants! I can"t imagine how on earth my son could possibly endure the amount of pain and itchiness I am having now! By the way, I"m not using any medication and just sitting and waiting for it to "self-limit".
Comment from: sophieloo, 19-24 Female (Patient) Published: January 23
I am currently in the development stage of hand, foot, and mouth disease and I will explain my horrendous experience up until now. Day 1. I came home and felt very lethargic. I had pounding head, aching body, just feeling rubbish overall. I tucked myself into bed and hoped I would sleep it off over a couple of hours. I woke up shivering, yet covered top to toe in sweat. I felt like this all night with an excruciating headache and experienced hallucinations due to my fever. Day 2. I was not much better, I was again sweating yet shivering, general flu like symptoms. By the end of the day my temperature had begun to cool down and I started to feel a little better as the headache eased off. But then came my sore throat - pure agony! After getting my mum to look into my mouth we could see that the back of my throat had erupted into small ulcers / blisters! Day 3. (Where I am now) I've been to the doctors today with an extremely sore throat. He said because I have had no outbreak of blisters on my hands / feet then he cannot say I have hand foot and mouth, more like tonsillitis. I have had tonsillitis before and this is so much worse than that. About 2 hours ago I developed a very strange tingling sensation in my fingertips and my toes with very small red bumps underneath. Not raised, but definitely there. Quite tender to the touch. I will keep you updated if the lumps erupt into blisters, fingers crossed they stay well away!
Comment from: Sue, 35-44 Female (Patient) Published: January 03
My 16 year old son broke out in a "rash" and was given antibiotics because the doctor thought he had bacterial infection. Two days later I developed similar symptoms, but luckily I found this information. My symptoms were much worse than his, however. Progression: sore throat day 1-2; fever/chills day 2; minor bumps on hands day 3; hundreds of awful blisters on the soles and sides of my feet days 3-21. My hands did get a little more on the palms, but never too bad. The blisters on my feet were by far the worst pain I have ever had. For three days stepping and walking around was excruciating pins and needles, then gratefully dull pain for a couple of days. I may have developed one mouth sore, no worse than a canker sore. My hands got dry and flaky where the bumps were, but were soon fine. My feet developed thick callouses where the blisters were under the surface, then they peeled in thick sheets. It was almost like I have moleskin peeling off the soles of my feet. This has happened over the course of about a month or more now, and am still able to see the blister locations, but thankfully the pain only lasted about a week. Whoever said adults get it less severe than the youngsters is either misinformed, or there is a stronger strain out there, because I had it!
Comment from: cookiegirl, 25-34 Female (Patient) Published: December 05
This is seriously the most miserably sick I have been in a long time. It started out with a sore throat, I thought I was getting a cold. Then I started feeling crummy, fever for about a day and a half. I started to feel like myself again and then bam� bumps started to form on my hands. They just kept getting worse and worse; and then the sores started on my feet. Sores on my chin and face, and scattered on my body. Now they are like little blisters. It's tingly but painful and also itchy! Hoping this doesn't last for another week. I am taking ibuprofen and also Neosporin seems to help temporarily.

Skip to comments.12 Unspoken Rules For Being A Liberal
Posted on 08/31/2013 3:49:48 AM PDT by Kaslin
There may be no official rule book for being a liberal, but that doesn't mean there aren't rules. There are actually quite a few rules liberals go by and the more politically active liberals become, the more rigidly they tend to stick to their own code of behavior. These rules, most of which are unspoken, are passed along culturally on the Left and viciously enforced. Ironically, many liberals could not explain these rules to you and don't even consciously know they're following them. So, by reading this article, not only will you gain a better understanding of liberals, you'll know them better than they know themselves in some ways.
1) You justify your beliefs about yourself by your status as a liberal, not your deeds. The most sexist liberal can think of himself as a feminist while the greediest liberal can think of himself as generous. This is because liberals define themselves as being compassionate, open minded, kind, pro-science and intelligent not based on their actions or achievements, but based on their ideology. This is one of the most psychologically appealing aspects of liberalism because it allows you to be an awful person while still thinking of yourself as better than everyone else.
2) You exempt yourself from your attacks on America: Ever notice that liberals don't include themselves in their attacks on America? When they say, "This is a racist country," or ",This is a mean country," they certainly aren't referring to themselves or people who hold their views. Even though liberals supported the KKK, slaughtering the Indians, and putting the Japanese in internment camps, when they criticize those things, it's meant as an attack on everyone else EXCEPT LIBERALS. The only thing a liberal believes he can truly do wrong is to be insufficiently liberal.
3) What liberals like should be mandatory and what they don't like should be banned: There's an almost instinctual form of fascism that runs through most liberals. It's not enough for liberals to love gay marriage; everyone must be forced to love gay marriage. It's not enough for liberals to be afraid of guns; guns have to be banned. It's not enough for liberals to want to use energy-saving light bulbs; incandescent light bulbs must be banned. It's not enough for liberals to make sure most speakers on campuses are left-wing; conservative speakers must be shouted down or blocked from speaking.
4) The past is always inferior to the present: Liberals tend to view traditions, policies, and morals of past generations as arbitrary designs put in place by less enlightened people. Because of this, liberals don't pay much attention to why traditions developed or wonder about possible ramifications of their social engineering. Its like an architect ripping out the foundation of a house without questioning the consequences and if the living room falls in on itself as a result, he concludes that means he needs to make even more changes.
5) Liberalism is a jealous god and no other God may come before it: A liberal "Christian" or "Jew" is almost an oxymoron because liberalism trumps faith for liberals. Taking your religious beliefs seriously means drawing hard lines about right and wrong and that's simply not allowed. Liberals demand that even God bow down on the altar of liberalism.
6) Liberals believe in indiscriminateness for thought: This one was so good that I stole it from my buddy, Evan Sayet: " Indiscriminateness of thought does not lead to indiscriminateness of policy. It leads the modern liberal to invariably side with evil over good, wrong over right and the behaviors that lead to failure over those that lead to success. Why? Very simply if nothing is to be recognized as better or worse than anything else then success is de facto unjust. There is no explanation for success if nothing is better than anything else and the greater the success the greater the injustice. Conversely and for the same reason, failure is de facto proof of victimization and the greater the failure, the greater the proof of the victim is, or the greater the victimization."
7) Intentions are much more important than results: Liberals decide what programs to support based on whether they make them feel good or bad about themselves, not because they work or don't work. A DDT ban that has killed millions is judged a success by liberals because it makes them feel as if they care about the environment. A government program that wastes billions and doesn't work is a stunning triumph to the Left if it has a compassionate sounding name. It would be easier to convince a liberal to support a program by calling it the Saving Women And Puppies Bill" than showing that it would save 100,000 lives.
8) The only real sins are helping conservatism or harming liberalism: Conservatives often marvel at the fact that liberals will happily elect every sort of pervert, deviant, and criminal you can imagine without a second thought. That's because right and wrong don't come into the picture for liberals. They have one standard: Does this politician help or hurt liberalism? If a politician helps liberalism, he has a free pass to do almost anything and many of them do just that.
9) All solutions must be government-oriented: Liberals may not be as down on government as conservatives are, but on some level, even they recognize that it doesn't work very well. So, why are liberals so hell bent on centralizing as much power as possible in government? Simple, because they believe that they are better and smarter than everyone else by virtue of being liberals and centralized power gives them the opportunity to control more people's lives. There's nothing scarier to liberals than free people living their lives as they please without wanting or needing the government to nanny them.
10) You must be absolutely close minded: One of the key reasons liberals spend so much time vilifying people they don't like and questioning their motivations is to protect themselves from having to consider their arguments. This helps create a completely closed system for liberals. Conservative arguments are considered wrong by default since they're conservative and not worth hearing. On the other hand, liberals aren't going to make conservative arguments. So, a liberal goes to a liberal school, watches liberal news, listens to liberal politicians, has liberal friends, and then convinces himself that conservatives are all hateful, evil, racist Nazis so that any stray conservatism he hears should be ignored. It makes liberal minds into perfectly closed loops that are impervious to anything other than liberal doctrine.
11) Feelings are more important than logic: Liberals base their positions on emotions, not facts and logic and then they work backwards to shore up their position. This is why it's a waste of time to try to convince a liberal of anything based on logic. You don't "logic" someone out of a position that he didn't use "logic" to come up with in the first place.
12) Tribal affiliation is more important than individual action: There's one set of rules for members of the tribe and one set of rules for everyone else. Lying, breaking the rules, or fomenting hatred against a liberal in good standing may be out of bounds, but there are no rules when dealing with outsiders, who are viewed either as potential recruits, dupes to be tricked, or foes to be defeated. This is the same backwards mentality you see in places like Iraq and Afghanistan, except it's based on ideology, not religion.
No wonder the USA is a very, very badly divided country.
Certain Democrats supported the Kluxers, but they surely were not liberal Democrats.
If FDR doesn't qualify as acliberal, who does? He appointed klansman Hugo Black to the SCOTUS. Read more:
That would be the author's #1 and #9.
Right. Re: #9 I just quibble with the word 'solution' - I don't think libs have any nor do they really care to solve problems, just pad their own fannys and make sure they're ok...no matter what.
I agree with you. "Government intervention" or "government control" could be more accurate phrases than "government solution."
Amd one rule to rule them all:
Liberals feel good about themselves when they have made someone else miserable.
Just 2 things....Evil and/or STUPID.
13) To credit Rush Limbaugh, Liberalism requires no effort and no courage. Yet, liberals "feel" they are courageous.
That was covered by the author's #1 and #11.
Yes sort of like an overarching mission statement.
Ask a conservative, "What do you think about that?"
Ask a liberal, "How does that make you feel?"
BTW, these rules can apply to Muslims. Tribalism, intolerance, destruction of enemies, intentions trump all, etc.
"Certain Democrats supported the Kluxers, but they surely were not liberal Democrats."
Fun Fact, all the segregationists were rated 100 percent by NARAL.
Liberals should be compelled to watch videos of themselves being liberals.
I agree with post 6 plus you can add Woodrow Wilson to that mix.
No. 10 is key. Questioning the conservative's motives and not his arguments. This leads to ... Conservative says "I question the validity of Affirmative Action Programs" Liberal says, "You're a racist!" Conservative says "I question the validity, morality and practicality of Gay Marriage." Liberal says, "You're a homophobe!" and so on. The beauty of this for the Liberal is, with the name calling, the Liberal has moved the discussion away from whether the liberal program is good, effective and accomplishing anything. Instead there is a back and forth about whether the Conservative is racist or not and the liberal avoids any discussion of the ineffective liberal program.
A surprisingly good list.
First, the notion that they are smarter etc than others, including people past present and future, is laughable. It is child's play to show how dumb, I man outright stupid (sorry, gotta call 'em as I see 'em) many, if not most, of their decisions and beliefs are. This is, as is also noted in the list, because they let emotion do rule themselves at the expense of common sense
The second part - that they believe their assumed intellectual edge over others entitled them to control others for their own good - is an extremely dangerous (and obviously wrong) thought. That thinking is diametrically opposed to freedom and liberty. It leads to fascism and dictatorial like behaviors that have led to most of the suffering and deaths in conflicts for the past several hundred years. "You should listen to me because I know better" leads to "I will make you listen to me for your own good. " Which would still be wrong even if they were right, but is made even worse by the fact that they are almost always wrong.
A very nicely constructed nutshell. Thanks for posting.
4) "The past is always inferior to the present"
In other words: Nothing significant happened until they showed up.
I once had a frustrated liberal scream at me "My beliefs are more important to me than the truth!"
Truer words were never spoken. Liberalism is immaturity, cloaked with the pretense of moral and intellectual superiority.
My goodness: #1 really defines it. I live in a very liberal district and this explanation hit home.
Liberals do not ever not use straw man arguments. That drives me nuts.
#4 actually is about cowardice. The pirate instinct on the upper deck needs decoration and satisfaction, hence the foundation and hull must be gutted. Liberals cannot see that happiness is a byproduct of life, and not the reverse. They will never know higher values and enjoyments. They indeed live in Plato's cave, because they believe its where they are smarter than others, thus it must be imposed.
Those are covered by #12 and indirectly by #9.
No wonder the USA is a very, very badly divided country.
Yep. Dividing and conquering has been working well since at least Roman times.
Very good list. You just described my mother.
I like number 10, it explains why liberals not only cannot agree with an opinion different then theirs, but can't even comprehend the possibility that there might be a different point of view. A closed loop!
#3 is SO true. The first way to spot a liberal is when they're annoyed by something and say, "That should be banned!"
Yes, they were. Bilbo of Mississippi, Tillman of South Carolina are two premier examples. Both left-wingers.
bookmark - so true
.....Or as you CLAIM it goes back.
13) Do whatever you are told to do, behave as, act like, or force others to do no matter how disgusting the act, like sodomizing each other, raping children, or killing someone.
All true.
In other words, liberalism is a cult, almost exactly like most other cults in history.
Great post.

In your opinion, what is a typical number of Christmas presents you kids get each year. Do you typicall do one "big" present or several smaller presents? I'm planning on about 6 or so per kid this year, with most of them as mid size presents, nothing big. I know my husband will think that the tree looks too sparse and want to get them more, but we already have too much stuff. I think 6 presents each (split between from Santa and mom and dad) is plenty. What's typical for you?
Christmas gifts - how many?
My husband comes from a pretty large family and his parents are well-off financially so Liam gets positively spoiled this time of year. His birthday was yesterday and if you count all of the books we bought him separately he got somewhere around 12 gifts including two anthologies. He probably has just as many for Christmas though with extended family, I'd say he'll probably get more like 20 gifts.
Like I said....spoiled!
Married to my best friend (Matt) since 5/1/04
Mommy to Liam (12/5/08), Mizuko (MC 4/25/12), and Emily (5/21/13)
5 each.... With one of them being the "big" gift. And by big, I mean something they really want.
DD- Aug 2001, DD- Dec 2003, DS- Jan 2007, DD- April 2009, DS- June 2011 Team green EDD- April 2013
We stick with a $200 limit for DS every year. He is our one and only, so we don't mind giving a lot (as long as it stays within budget). We just love his reaction while unwrapping.
However, we teach our son the importance of giving back (so, he is NOT spoiled rotten). He may get a lot of gifts, but we donate things regularly through out the year to charities and shelters and he is in charge of helping me with that task. He has never had a problem parting with a toy, since he knows it is going to a child in need.

Canon 450d err99 - shutter dead?
So yesterday i was taking some photos on a football match, and suddenly the camera stopped to making photos. On the screen appeared the error 99. Every time i start my camera, there is a little electronic sound, like the shutter is blocked by something. I didn't find on the internet what could be the problem, but i suppose the shutter is dead. It's a 4 year old camera with more than 70000 photos taken.
There is one of the last photo i have taken, maybe will help you guys to understand whats going on and help my with some answers.

OSU football: Fans flood Stillwater airport to welcome home their Cowboys
STILLWATER – Cars were parked in the grass, lining a long stretch of road leading to Stillwater Regional Airport, where the parking lot was overflowing with even more cars.
A mob of fans decked out in orange cheered and screamed and applauded as their Cowboys strolled down the portable steps from the Continental charter jet delivering the Fiesta Bowl champions home.
Lezlee Cavanaugh, an Oklahoma State fan from Perkins, clutched the day's sports page from The Oklahoman, hoping to present it to one Cowboys hero whose picture was plastered across the page.
"I want to give it to Quinn Sharp," Cavanaugh said of the OSU kicker, who provided the winning points in Monday night's 41-38 overtime win over Stanford. "Watching the game at home, I was sitting on the edge of my seat the whole game. Then the last minute of the game, I was standing. As soon as the kick went through, I started jumping and screaming."
That was the tone all around the airport, where fans of all ages gathered to welcome home a Cowboys team that made history, winning a school-record 12 games and claiming the first BCS bowl victory in the program's first BCS bowl appearance.
Players accepted congratulations as they passed through the crowd of supporters. Some, like quarterback Brandon Weeden, lingered long, signing autographs and posing for photos.
"It's awesome," Weeden said. "It's been like this all year. We're fortunate, we've got great fans. And they're loyal. The turnout in Arizona was incredible. There was a lot of orange in that stadium and they got loud.
"Just the support we've had all year, it's been tremendous. Poke Nation is alive. This program is on the rise and I don't see it going anywhere anytime soon."
Stillwater's Julie Teubner missed out on the trip to Arizona, so she figured showing up at the airport was the next best thing.
"I didn't get to go to the bowl game and I was sorry I didn't get to go," Teubner said. "So I wantsed to be here.
"I always thought they'd pull it out. It was really exciting to see. It just seems there's something inside these guys, something special that helps them pull these games out. OSU teams of the past didn't do that."
Stillwater's Joe Nelson knows all about that. He used to work around and rub elbows with many of the people in athletics down the hall in the assistant business manager's office. Now he's across campus at the school of hotel and restaurant administration, but still as orange as ever.
"I came out to see them back," Nelson said. "I still have a close relationship with a lot of these people.
"The game was nerve-wracking. Too close. I truly expected a game like Bedlam. What it showed me is Stanford is a better team than I expected and a better team than OU."
Wide receiver Colton Chelf, another Cowboy game hero with a career-high in catches and yards against Stanford, smiled as he emerged from the sea of fans.
"They've supported us all season," Chelf said. "We have the best fans in the country. It's just what they do. And we love them."

Sandra Duke recently was named regional manager for the Better Living for Texans program, according to Texas Cooperative Extension's Donna Brauchi, district director for family and consumer science programs.
Better Living for Texans is implemented under the Food Stamp Nutrition Education Program, a cooperative endeavor of Texas Cooperative Extension, the Texas Department of Human Services and the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service.
The program provides nutrition education to help food stamp-eligible and limited income families and individuals acquire the knowledge, skills and behavior necessary to maximize resources, have nutritionally sound diets and improve self-sufficiency.
Brauchi said Duke will work with area extension agents in designing education opportunities for BLT program clients to enhance their nutrition and food dollar management skills.
Duke was the interim director of the Canyon Chamber of Commerce and a self-employed retail business owner-operator. She held coordinator positions in admissions and bereavement services with a Dallas-based hospice corporation before moving to the Panhandle.
Duke also taught comprehensive home economics at Clint High School, where she was a sponsor for student FHA, among other organizations at the school.
The new program manager earned a bachelor of science degree in home economics education from Texas Tech University in Lubbock, where she graduated magna cum laude and received the Tinsley Memorial Scholarship.
To learn more about the BLT effort, contact Duke or Brauchi at (806) 359-5401 or the Web site blt.tamu.edu.

Controlling the game through the first three quarters, and leading 29-20, Barrack allowed Kohelet to go on a 29-10 run in the fourth quarter and lost 49-39. Costly turnovers and rushed shots down the stretch lead to the loss. Barrack only shot 36% from the line, going 4 for 11, while Kohelet shot 55%, shooting 16 for 29. The foul calls were only going one way, with Barrack being called for 23 fouls while Kohelet was called for only 12. Dan Gabbay led Akiba with 17, while his brother Ron contributed nine. Barrack and Kohelet play again next Saturday at Barrack.

She learned to make crafts fifteen years ago so that she could spend more time with her children, because one of her daughters has HIV in her blood and needs to have special treatments in an institution called "REDIMAS".

Additional Information
About Banco D-MIROBanco D-MIRO is a microfinance institution that serves the most vulnerable sectors of Ecuador's economy. It offers very small loan sizes without requiring collateral, expanding access to borrowers who would not otherwise be able to access capital to start and grow their own businesses. It also specifically targets borrowers who are excluded from formal financial systems due to race, ethnicity, gender, disability or illness.
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

Photo from previous loan
Kiva allows our Field Partners to re-use the same photo for individual borrowers that have been posted on Kiva's website once before in a 24 month period, and we allow them to re-use group photos for up to 24 months, provided that 80% of the current group's membership is represented.
Taking, collecting, and uploading photos of borrowers is one of the most challenging elements of using Kiva for our Field Partners. In order to make Kiva easier for Field Partners to use, we have allowed them to post successive and concurrent loans without taking a new photo of the borrower if the criteria above are met.

I wonder what would happen if sometime during the spring, a thoroughbred horse owner concluded that his prized 3-year-old colt really identified as a filly.
Could he petition to let his horse run in the Kentucky Oaks or the Black-Eyed-Susans Stakes? Or if he wanted to still run in the Triple Crown races, would he get a 5-pound weight allowance?
Absurd? Of course, it is.
But it's no more absurd than the directive out of Washington last week that could greatly affect sports as we know them.
LEXINGTON – For several weeks, the track team at Anderson County High School might have resembled a M*A*S*H unit or a sick bay. Or both.
Friday night, two of those who were not at full strength still had enough to place second in their best events in the Class AAA, Region 6 meet at Tates Creek High School. Connor Duncan, in 300-meter hurdles, and Alorra Sims, in both the long jump and triple jump, automatically qualified for the state meet, scheduled for Saturday, May 28 at the University of Kentucky.
National champions!
That title was bestowed on the Anderson County Middle School archery team in the National Archery in the Schools Program national tournament Friday and Saturday at the Kentucky Exposition Center in Louisville.
The Mustang archers took the national championship of the NASP IBO 3D Challenge, a tournament that features shooting at life-like targets instead of bull's eye targets.
Anderson County's bats went silent over the weekend as the Lady Bearcats dropped three straight games at the Best of the West tournament, held in Bowling Green.
Anderson, once ranked as high as No. 5 in the state, now stands at 20-9 on the season. The Lady Bearcats were to have played at Madison Central Monday night and host Louisville Ballard Tuesday after press time.

May is a special time for anglers who chase redear sunfish and bluegill as they move into the shallows to spawn.
By Kevin Kelly
An extended stretch of stable weather and seasonably warm temperatures in late April created optimal spring fishing conditions for anglers across Kentucky.
The calm broke at the end of the month when rounds of storms over a period of days preceded a cold front. In their wake, rivers and streams that had been running low and clear and warmer than normal rose and cooled off a bit.
From staff reports
People in search of their own locally-sourced, organic fish need to look no further than the nearest lake or river.
For those foodies who are lost when it comes to catching their own meals, the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources offers a special Hook and Cook program from 5 to 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, May 28 at Jacobson Park Lake in Lexington.
Column as I see 'em …
House Speaker Greg Stumbo and his cohorts on both sides of the aisle got caught being sneaky and they don't like it.
But I sure do.
Stumbo is fussing and threatening legal action against Gov. Bevin's recent line-item budget vetoes, apparently because at least one sheds a bit too much light on government — and we all know how, like cockroaches, sneaks hate being exposed to the light.
It is a good time to think about pest control for your home vegetable garden.
You can control pest problems, and perhaps prevent future difficulties, in your garden by doing some advance planning and following a few simple Integrated Pest Management practices. IPM promotes minimal pesticide use and emphasizes the use of all available pest control methods including cultural, mechanical and biological practices to prevent pest problems.
