Are you planning a trip to Manitoba in Canada? You should be. Manitoba is going to deliver the amazing experiences you may expect from the very heart of Canada.
Manitoba is a province in Canada, and among the Prairie Provinces. It lies midway the Pacific and Atlantic oceans. This province is bounded to the south by US states of North Dakota and Minnesota, to the north by Nunavut territory, to the west by Saskatchewan, and to northeast by Hudson Bay. it boasts of more than 100,000 lakes (quite amazing!), that include Lake Winnipeg-among the largest inland freshwater lakes.
Therefore, when you are unsure of what you need to do, you can pick out one of these incredible Manitoba attraction and everything is going to fall into place.
1. Churchill and Hudson Bay
Churchill is a town in the far-northern Manitoba. It goes by the name "polar bear capital of the world". As this name suggests, you can brace yourself to seeing Churchill's most popular tourist attraction. Love to see polar bears? Well,this is among the few towns in the whole world that's visited regularly by wild polar bears. These creatures gather on the shores of Hudson Bay, waiting for the pack of ice to form every October and November. And in June, July, and August, the main attraction you're going to marvel at are beluga whales migrating to Hudson Bay. For the more intrepid whale watchers, snorkeling and kayaking trips are also available in the bargain!
2. Riding Mountain National Park
And while visiting Manitoba Province, why not take a trip to this park? The idyllic park, accessible throughout the year, a rich combination of nature reserve and recreation area, with vast and varied landscape of forest, prairie, and amazingly clear streams and lakes. It extends over part of glacially-formed Manitoba Escarpment, whereby a series of plateaus that rise to heights of around 340 meters overlook the adjacent prairies, meadows, gentle hills, and lakes. You can go and see the cold deep lakes of the Riding Mountain like Lake Catherine, Deep Lake, and Clear Lake. A herd of buffalo freely roams near Lake Audy. Wolves, bears, deer, and elk can also be observed at their natural habitat here.
3. The Forks
Found at the junction of Assiniboine and the Red Rivers close to Winnipeg's downtown core, The Forks is the place you want to be in summer. It's equally fun place during winter. You can visit here and see its restored historical buildings which house now a lovely market with distinctive restaurants, shops and casual food stalls. A number of restaurants feature outdoor patios that overlook walkways and the river. You're also going to find here Manitoba's Children Museum so that your kids may also enjoy in the fun and experience their own kids' way.
4. Fun Mountain
This is a precise place when you want to have an incredible and unforgettable fun-family getaway, or simply you just want to splash your hours away. You can take some break from sliding, and try its tropical themed 18-hole Mini Golf Course. Take also a friend and enjoy its Bumper Boat ride on Fun Mountain's man-made lake. Surely, you cannot forget such unique experiences, can you?
5. Thunder Rapid Fun Park
While still on the fun, this is also a great location for family outings, fundraising events, youth group, staff appreciation, wedding parties, name it. It's a place you're going to feel great visiting with a friend.
Manitoba packs everything you want to see and experience, and the above are just the tip of the iceberg. The place is an eclectic collection of cities with distinct flare plus history, and parks, not to mention geographical landscapes which all satisfy the expectations for the adventurists, artists, and the children at heart
7 Secrets For Successful Canadian women
- Decide what you want out of online dating and sign up for a site that matches your goal
- Research the competition – create a simple profile to start, check out your competition and use the parts you like
- Be confident and put your best foot forward – prepare a list of questions before the meeting
- His/Her worst picture is likely the one you should trust
- People Lie – women lie about body type and men lie about height
- Keep communication short and end with an open-ended question
- Pictures are important (not really a secret) – include pictures of yourself doing the things you say you like
These seven tips are a great starting point and will give you some things to think about as you begin your online dating experience. It is important to not get too stressed about online dating, remember dating is supposed to be fun. If you aren't having much success then don't just keep on doing what your doing, switch sites, change your profile pictures, change your pictures, try asking different questions in your messages. Being on a site that closely matches your goals makes a huge different. If you are using a free online dating site without much success then consider switching to a paid site. There is nothing wrong with free sites but the people on paid sites are generally more committed to trying to meet someone. Free dating sites are also not great if you are worried about friends or family finding your profile.
If you would like more information then head over to the dating advice page.
Here is more information on some of the top dating sites and what type of dating they specialize in.

wooo, weee, ahhh , wooo
Now, this is a long one, so if you don't have half a day to waste you might want to try reading it later on.
Off we go...........
A big welcome to our newest subscriber, Martin's mum and a big hello to all his friends and family. It's quite a long read but it gives everyone a little insight to all we get up to and the storys we forget when you are on the phone.
So how was your Christmas? Please do let us know by sending us a message, thank you to those of you who already have its great to know what's going on in your lives too.
Well we had a cold, wet and windy one from start to finish over Christmas. We headed down to Bondi beach to spend our "alternative" Christmas on the sand and in the water (rain & sea). When we got down to Bondi about 11:00am to find a mass of people wearing Santa hats, police horses wearing Rudolph antlers and 1000's of people on the beach and in the water. The car park was totally full already so we didn't hold out much hope of getting

a space close to the beach, but we tried our luck and drove right along the beach front just in case. As Harry has an eye for a parking space he actually managed to get us into the best space in the house, right on the beach front in the middle. I reversed Harry in and opened the back to begin our Christmas celebrations. As some of you know, when your spending Christmas abroad in a hotter climate it does not really feel very "Christmassy", so in order to help get in the Christmas spirit we played our only two Christmas songs on the Ipod, which if anyone is interest they are, Aled Jones - The Snowman and John Lennon - Happy Xmas (War is over).
So after humming "Another year over, a new one just begun, and so it is Christmas, and what have you………." for a little while it was time for the main event. A beach BBQ (in the rain) but a beach BBQ all the same. But, to our surprise, you were not allowed a BBQ on the beach. Really? It's Christmas in Australia and your not allowed a BBQ on the beach? Yes that's
CD in the van cooking lunch!
right. So instead of having it on the beach, we opted to place our disposable BBQ onto Harry's two hobs and have it in the van. I decided to take on the roll of Chef for the day, so I opened the vents in Harry's hi-top, kept the boot slightly ajar and lit the BBQ. All was going very well, my sue chef Kate had pre cooked the corn on the cob and potatoes so we just needed to start cooking the rest. After about 20 minutes the flames on the BBQ had begun to dye down and the ash had stopped flying everywhere so I started to unwrapped our starter dish: Jumbo Tiger prawns, in Chilli and garlic with a splash of lemon. Just as I was about to put the first one on I saw a lady sat in the car next to me jump out and try to look in the van, she looked concerned and then her husband moved there car away from Harry like he had the plague or something. I was actually apparent that she thought we were on fire and the van was going to exploded. With that, the vans health and safety
public shower!!
officer (Kate) jumped out to put this ladies concerns at rest, and it was "all under control". Well she really thought we were about to explode and kills ourselves and innocent children and was not pleased. We had no intention of killing children on Christmas day so we thought we had better put it out using a damp cloth and just cook the dinner in the more traditional style, just in the van on a frying pan (see pics).
After dinner we had to do Aussie thing and go from a swim on Christmas day. We put on the gear and ran down the beach and straight into the water (on route I handed the camera to a Japanese chap to take pics). It was not as cold as you would have expected in the weather and it felt good to be in the water on Christmas day, it was a first. After that we retired to the van to view the Gavin and Stacey Christmas Special and Home Alone 1 & 2. In the evening we headed back to the Campsite where we spent the evening with a mix of nationalities, 4 Dutch, 2 Brits and 2 German.
Martins bed..cosy!
10 people in Harry was a bit of a squeeze, 4 on each side of the benches, 1 camp chair in the kitchen area and 1 camp chair outside the boot but it was great fun hosting a party in the van! The next morning we went to a watch the boats go out of Sydney in the Sydney to Hobart boat race from Clovelly beach just outside the city centre.
The next few days we went into Sydney city centre and checked out all the touristy things. It was great. We climbed the tower at the side of the Bridge (Pylon Lookout) and saw all over Sydney, we walked around the Opera house, shopping malls and streets. We tried to go up the huge tower but despite wearing a shirt and carrying around shoes all day we were then told men also had to wear trousers! So unfortunately that didn't happen. Our next focus was the big event, NYE. Now for those of you who know Kate and I you will realise that we are pretty organised when it comes to most things and "getting the best spot possible" for new years eve was no different. Obviously when
fill her up!
in Rome and all that, so we just had to get the premier view of the Sydney harbour bridge and opera house. So with a few days to go we wanted to find the best spot. We had already agreed to spend NYE with Tom and Carole (Fraser island gang) so we organised to meet up for a pre-NYE lunch to set a plan. Before we met with Tom and Carole, Kate and I had already been around most of the view points around the city (that's quite a few) and decided that the "numero uno" spot was in the Botanical gardens. Tom and Carole agreed with this, so we enjoyed Thai lunch together with specials of Champagne for only $3.50! Woo bargain!
On New Year Eve morning we set off with Tom and Carol at 6am to get to the front of the queue for the Botanical gardens as they only allow a certain number of people in and we did not want to be disappointed!! We were also hoping for front row seats, but unbelievably when we got there, a further 2000 had been even more keen than us and were already sat in the queue! People
more organised than us! Does Kate have to stop calling herself Monica??!!! We queued until 12noon when we were allowed in, but it went surprisingly quickly, we met another couple (hello Lindsey and Martin) and it was Lindsey's birthday so happy birthday was sang several times throughout the day!! We had made a picnic so we were eating and seeking shelter from the rain (yes it was still raining on NYE in Sydney!) under Matt's parasol! We were all loving it that day! When we got in we then managed to get into another smaller patch with limited numbers and the best view!! We were so pleased!! We also managed to smuggle in 6 litres of wine, vodka and black sambucca due to Matt and Tom's expert alcohol hiding techniques put to use to prevent it being taken off us as we walked in! No BYO on NYE that's ridiculous!! So we felt like the cats that got the cream, amazing view and all our picnic and alcohol in! To pass some time at about 4.30pm when everyone was getting a little lethargic we pulled out the beach ball and kicked it around the whole crowd in our area (about
one more, these journeys are really long!
1000 people). Everyone got really involved, men almost dropping babies so keen to "keep it up", an American guy adopting a volleyball technique to get it to the top of the hill!! The crowd were loving it, counting as each person hit it, it may sound sad but it united the crowd (you can probably tell this is Kate writing at the mo)! There were a few events to keep the crowd going and then the main things were fireworks at 9pm and then the main event at 12pm. A special thanks to Terri for the leaving pressie to us we enjoyed champers and toasted you. The fireworks were phenomenal!! They lasted for ages and were just beautiful. We have some photos so check them out. At this point our camera broke so from 9pm onwards until now all photos are courtesy of Tom and Carol and Martin (thanks photographers!!)
New Years day we said goodbye to Tom and Carol who are now off to Singapore and Asia. We spent a couple of days chilling with Claris and Nicola (the French couple)and then we met up with Martin (a friend of Gareth's from Torquay), and decided we would do
the next leg of the trip all together the three of us in Harry.
On 3rd Jan we picked Martin up and headed to the Blue Mountains. It was a bit overcast but we didn't really think much of it, until we started to climb up the mountain (Harry doing a great job, and not really noticing he had an extra passenger on board up front) and we noticed the mist was increasing!!! We looked around the shops to work out what we could buy to make a third bed in the van. Martin spotted a fitness mat and decided that would make a lovely bed over the top of the front seats laid down and moving down the van using the esky and body boards to extend to almost 6 foot long!! We found a free camp spot high up in middle of the blue mountains and set down for the first night with Martin (see pics of martins bed set up), it was actually a great spot in the mountains, however it did have the 2nd worst toilet that we have come across in Oz so far, I won't go into detail. The next morning we awoke
spider spot
and saw the mist was still there, we didn't let this dampen our spirits though, we were still hopeful it would clear by the time we made it to the viewpoint at the Three Sisters Lookout…it didn't though unfortunately so we had the obligatory photo anyway but it just looks like we are in the clouds!!
We then had a big decision to make, drive in land to Melbourne via Canberra or drive around on the coast road……..what do you think we did? …………what would have you done? Well we opted for the coast road, primarily because that meant we could have beach showers every day en route, but we had also been told that Canberra was a bit of a one horse town . The next 4 days we made our way around the coast line stopping at various small towns on the way (see pictures of small towns), we often called them "hill-billy towns" and all three of us often burst into a chorus of "Hill billy rock, hill billy roll" when we get into a town or when we see a local that looks somewhat hill billy like. On a funny note, Martin is very health
spider spot
conscious and loves to eat healthy (hopefully it will rub off one Kate and I) (or more me) so we were in a small town, in a supermarket and Martin was desperately wanting some sushi. He walked over to the guy who stacked the fruit and veg and asked him if they sold any sushi in the store. The guy, in a strong country ozzy accent replies, "sorry sir, we aint on of those trendy safeways that sell sushi" and with that Martin walked away empty handed with a smirk on his face. We must have relayed that line about 100 times that day. After a non sushi lunch we headed to a little place called Jervis Bay, which was a stunning white sand beach within a aboriginal community. We jumped into the water and it was FREEZING, Martin and I played "skim ball" in the water and Kate sunbathed and later on Kate and I snorkelled around the rock and saw a few fish swimming around.
That evening we headed to a little town called Moroya (yes we couldn't pronounce it either) and set up camp for the night. We found a picturesque spot next to a river
lunch at Aldi....does life get any better!!!
for the three of us to have a much talked about BBQ, I put Harry in a great spot under a tree on the rivers edge (see pic). We had a feast fit for a king, large steaks, kebabs, sweet corn, sweet potatos etc. We had a great time eating and drinking and decided to stay there for the night. Whilst packing up the BBQ things Martin and I heard Kate talking from the front of the van, we thought Kate was on the phone or something until we heard the words "Guys, there is the biggest spider ever on Harry's windscreen". So, being brave I pushed Martin to the front of the van and told him to have a look, and yes it was a big, hairy, scary looking spider. On our way down the coast Kate and I had learnt that the only time people generally get bitten by snakes and spiders is when you antagonise them by either stepping on/near them or taking photos of them, so remembering what they had said Martin grabbed his camera and started to take a number of "close ups" (not that close as it was pretty big). Luckily Harry isn't that
keep that BBQ going
scared of spiders and he grew up around them in Western Australia so he didn't react but he certainly sense all three of us were a little frightened by the way we all jumped inside the van, even jumping if we felt anything touch us on the leg or arm. The spider was on the edge of Harry's windscreen so martin got some good shots (see pics). After 10 or so minutes of "that is the biggest spider I have ever seen" and "what are we going to do" we realised that the fantastic picturesque spot that I choose earlier under the big tree probably housed more large spiders. We put a master minded plan together which basically consisted of me jumping in the drivers seat (Martin's bed was made so his head would have been literally only just 2inches away through the glass if we slept there), Kate and Martin cowering in the rear and driving with the spider over to the closest car park. So in I jumped in the hot seat hoping none of his friends were in the foot well, started the engine hoping the spider didn't move as then we wouldn't know whether it was
1st place tourist!
still on/in the van or not and proceeded over the bumpy grass into the car park. Half way across the grass the spider decided to run on Harry's high top roof. When I pulled up I jumped out the van, and just as I was about to shut my door the spider darted over the top and down my door and stop just inside the door. What to do now? Do I slam the door and kill an innocent spider or do I leave it alone and hope he jumps out? What would you do? Let us know at the end.. Whilst deciding what to do Kate was screaming in the van as she could here Martin and I jumping around outside as it ran over the top. Eventually Kate made it out into the safety of the car park. I thought about it for a minute, not taking my eye off the spider of course and decided to get my old friend out of the van, the parasol. So armed with the bottom of the parasol I poked the spider off the step and onto the floor, it scurried around for a while before coming to rest near Harry's
1st place geeks!
back wheel. At this point Kate wanted to squash it with our rather large hard back camping book, but looking at the size of it we thought it may throw it back at us so we continued to use the parasol technique. Eventually after much poking of the spider it ran into the middle of the car park and so we moved to the other side of the car park under a street light so we could check the top of the van for more little hairy friends (see martin climbing the lamp post).
After a sleepless night we awoke all in one piece and spider free. Hurray!!! After relaying the spider story several times to each other over breakfast we decided to hit the road in a big way, so Kate adopted her new position between Marty and me and we drove for about 400k to Orbost and upon arrival we started to sing "hill billy………" as it was well worthy. We had a little BBQ and found a free camp spot for the night, then realised the camp spot was full of "real" travellers, you know what I mean when I say real travellers don't you? Not
like us, more like gypsies so we decided to find our own little camp spot no where near just in case.
After Orboost we headed to Phillip Island. For those Moto GP fans you will recognise the name as it has one of the circuits used in the season based there. Not being up to speed on my Moto GP knowledge I didn't know this, but Marty did and ordered us to head straight for the track. We had a bit of a look around and then I was ordered by Kate to drive us to the penguin parade (I'll walk into a chauffeurs job when I get home after all the experience I'm getting). The PP is basically an evening event on the island where lots of penguins come in from the sea to find their beds for the night. After that we went to Smiths beach, aptly named after Martin to find our bedroom for the night (beach front car park with all the facilities one would want). When we got there we decided to check out the beach and it didn't disappoint, the sand was soft the water was warm (ish) and the sun was setting.
Phillip Island. Penguin point
Whilst there we decided to take some pictures and asked a man to take one of the three of us. He duly obliged and we got chatting to him and luck have it (for Martin and me) there was a custom car show on the island that very weekend we where there. The next morning we awoke to hot weather and blue skies and hit the beach. Kate sun bathed while Marty and I jumped in the sea. Now, I don't know if I have mentioned previously that we were given a second body board from our French friends, it's not the best board in the world, well in fact it's a child's board and Martin being fairly large it is quite funny to watch, especially when most kids have bigger boards than him. Kate came into join us for a while and even got over her seaweed fear by facing it head on and walking right through the middle of it. After a shower (just to clarify, most of the showers we have are in public with sometimes 100's of people watching you, the showers are generally used to wash off the salt water so when the 3 of
Photo 33
us turn up with shampoo and conditioner we get a few strange looks, particularly if Kate begins to shave her legs!) we headed to a chocolate factory where we did a tour. So in we went, greeted by a child handing out chocolates, we then went through the rest of the tour and it was to be honest somewhat disappointing. I'm not sure whether the disappointment came from the lack of tasters or whether it was that it only took about 10 minutes, I guess it was the lack of tasters!!! So we left there but not before finding that small child again for another sample and then we headed to the other side of the island, Cowes. Now it seem to us the Phillip Island has some kind of link with the Isle of White (Orchy) due to all the town names.
Anyway, this is getting pretty long and Martins battery has just died on his computer so I will speed it up a bit. Went to Cowes and saw some of the custom cars parked up which was cool, Martin turned into a Japanese tourist and could not turn the camera off. We were told that there
Christmas day!!!
street racing over the other side of the island, so not being ones to miss illegal street racing we headed over to check it out. Well, loads more custom cars and loads more hill billies, we loved it!! There was live country music in the side of a large truck and everyone seemed to be dressed in 1960's outfits, but I don't think it was fancy dress !! That evening we headed back to the hotel, Smiths Beach and settle in for the night. In the morning we decided to head to Melbourne.
Martin has already been to Melbourne previously on his trip so he was now our official tour guide and photographer) he showed us all the main site's you wouldn't want to miss. We went to a large casino where we were the big rollers, 1cent slot machine, $1 would last quite a while on those and Kate won big, $3.60 on one roll!!!! I played the roulette and lost $20 but as we were about to walk out my addictive gambling personality dragged us all back in and I played roulette again and fortunately won $36 to enable us to walk away on $5 down after
CD (Christmas day)
a few hours of fun.! Over the next few days we explored the city which was really interesting, it was a mix of new and old, Kate has told me to say she felt "an instant good vibe" whilst being there. Whilst in Melbourne Martin really wanted to do the much anticipated Neighbours tour (tv show, Neighbours), well actually it was surprise, surprise, Kate who wanted to do the tour so we did our own tour, budget version of course. Our own tour basically entailed the three of us driving to Ramsey Street, taking photos of all the houses, Kate informing other neighbours fans of who lives at which house and also taking photos of other groups. The highlight for me was when Kate took a picture of 4 Irish girls and shouted "after 3, all say Harold Bishop", well Martin and I turned around and walked straight back to the van slightly embarrassed.
After Ramsey street we headed to the beach as it was the hottest day of the year, it was a mere 43 degrees. For those who have read the blog previously or if you know me well I'm not really one for the hot weather
dinner is served
so when we got to the beach car park I jumped out, left Kate and Martin to deal with the Pay & Display and ran to the water. To cut a long story short I ended up dropping my flip flops over the edge of a rubbish collection point in the sea (basically the current takes all the rubbish into a inlet kind of thing), I tried to swim around to grab them but not being the best swimmer my "walk/Swim" technique was used which at this time was a disaster. The current also brings very big jelly fish in and yes I stepped on a massive one, my foot slid from the outside surface of the jellyfish to the inside of it! well I thought "sod the flip flops" and amazingly I turned into some kind of Olympic swimmer. I jumped out of the water to meet Martin and Kate on the sand, I then could not walk on the sand as it was burning so I ran up to the tarmac, again that was burning, so then to some decking, even hotter, so I went to the outside beach shower to cool down. Martin managed to walk bare
Rudolph horses
foot but soon was also feeling the heat so we both ran back to Harry for the comfort of the lino. Kate being so wise took her flip flops to start with and didn't lose them en route.
We chilled in the van until late afternoon when we all showered for the "big night". Oh yeah, I forgot, the big night was the Neighbours quiz night in a local pub which is held by, Dr Karl Kennedy, Libby Kennedy and Dylan Timmons (Screen names). Well, when we got to the Quiz Kate was off the Richter scale with excitement, and when the theme tune for Neighbours came on, the excitement was unlike anything I have ever seen. Martin on the other hand didn't seem to be in the same spirits, however over the course of the night Martin was "loving it", especially when Libby Kennedy came out and when he had his picture with Libby he was pretty happy (the vodka was also flowing). Kate took part in a singing contest and lost, you know Kate is wonderful at pretty much everything, but I think she (and most of you) will agree that she is not the best
Bondi CD very windy
singer in world. We do have it on video but I have been banned from putting it on the internet due to health and safety reasons.
We all got pictures with the "stars" and didn't win the quiz but at the end of the night Dr Karl K played for a couple of hours with his band "waiting room" which was actually pretty good see pic of Marty, again loving it. We all finished the night with a Kebab (Martins first ever Kebab as he is so healthy) and went back to the van to sleep, well not really sleep as the outside temp was 34 degrees and in the van must have been 40degrees + so we generally rolled around saying "this is ridiculous" and "I hope it doesn't stay this hot tomorrow". We got a couple of hours sleep and left early to find me some flip flops and head toward the Great Ocean road. We stopped at Aldi for lunch (Classy) in the car park and then arrived at Torquay (Banj, see photo).
So that's it really, I have probably missed some detail here and there just because I'm so far behind, but the bulk
of it is there. I'll try not to leave it so long next time but the internet in Australia is officially rubbish. A small example of this: Kate and I walk into a caravan park and booked in. I said to the lady behind the desk "oh, one more thing, do you have WIFI?" She replies "sorry love? WIFI?" I reply "Yes, you know, wireless internet" she says "uuuhhhh, no darling, we only just got dial up"…..sorry dial up? It's 2010 and your on dial up. So anyway, that's basically why it's taking forever, so sorry.
I hope everyone has not got any post Christmas blues and your all enjoying the cold snap and snow at home. To be honest when it's 43 degrees we would be loving it in that temp!!!
Until the next time we come across a non dial up internet connection take care.

Verizon's new iPad bundles offers up the iPad + MiFi in 16GB ($629.99), 32GB ($729.99), and 64 GB ($829.99) bundles. Verizon is offering up plans starting at 1GB of data transfer at $20 a month.

A suspected U.S. drone strike on an Islamic seminary in northwestern Pakistan killed a senior member of the Taliban-linked Haqqani network early on Thursday, Pakistani and Afghan sources said.
It was the first drone strike in the nuclear-armed South Asian nation since Pakistani Taliban chief Hakimullah Mehsud was killed on Nov. 1 in an attack which prompted a fierce power struggle within the fragmented insurgency.
Police officer Fareed Khan said the unmanned aircraft fired three rockets at the madrassa in the Hangu district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa just before sunrise.
A source with Afghanistan's National Directorate of Security intelligence agency said in Kabul the dead included Maulvi Ahmad Jan, an adviser to Sirajuddin Haqqani, the leader of Taliban-linked Haqqani network.
A Pakistani intelligence source told Reuters separately that Sirajuddin Haqqani was spotted at the same seminary two days earlier.
Taliban sources also confirmed his death but the Haqqani network itself was not immediately available for comment.
The group is one of the main enemies of U.S.-led forces in neighbouring Afghanistan, frequently launching attacks on foreign troops from mountainous hideouts in Pakistan's lawless North Waziristan region.
But it has been under considerable strain this month since its chief financier, Nasiruddin Haqqani, was shot dead in Islamabad on Nov. 11. No one claimed responsibility for that shooting.
Washington has long called on Islamabad to crack down on the group. Nasiruddin's father was one an ally of the United States during the rebellion in Afghanistan against the Soviets.
Pakistan publicly opposes U.S. drone strikes, saying they kill too many civilians and violate its sovereignty, although in private officials admit the government broadly supports them.
Most drone strikes occur in the lawless North Waziristan region where Taliban insurgents are holed up, and are rare in densely populated places like Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
The attack took place a day after Pakistan's foreign policy chief Sartaj Aziz was quoted as saying that the United States had promised not to conduct drone strikes while the government tries to engage the Taliban in peace talks.
The United States has not commented on Aziz's remarks.
The identities of the others killed on Thursday were not immediately clear. Militants often visit seminaries to consult their spiritual leaders as well as to recruit new fighters.

Only Time
By: Zarabeth McGregor
Chapter 1: The night that changed my life
Disclaimer: I don't own Gundam Wing or Sailor Moon. They belong to their respective owners. If I did own them, you wouldn't want to watch them. Trust me.
Once again, my muse is being its annoying self. Yet again, it bugs me while I'm trying to sleep with the question that serves as my summary. So, I decided to turn this into a fic. Lord, help me. I have to do a school project, yet here I am writing stories…oh well, it ain't due 'til next year…
I always felt at peace in the water, it always helped me to think clearer, and put things into perspective. That was exactly why I was at the sport's complex at this ungodly hour, starting my tenth lap. The water was warm, about 86º, and it slid easily off my pale body. I was doing the backstroke, my eyes focused on the complex's ceiling. Thinking, wondering.
See, tonight, I was feeling unbelievably restless. I was supposed to be starting my term paper, but I didn't feel like it. That was quite odd, because when it came to schoolwork I was always, always, focused. It was important, I had to give a synopsis on our work on the cerebellum. Not exactly the most adrenalin-pumping topic, I know, but I tried to tell myself it laid the foundation to more exciting things later on. Key word there being 'tried'. Suddenly, I found myself second-guessing my decision to go to med-school. Not that I felt overwhelmed, Heavens no! I found it to be hardly challenging, so far. It just suddenly didn't feel…right.
"Don't be silly, Ami," I told myself, with a slight giggle. I was now on my eleventh lap. I could really rip through the water, if the occasion called for it. "This has been your life's dream; of course you want to do it!" Why did I want to do it? Why was this my life's dream? With a sigh, I absently looked up at the lounge chairs by the pools edge. I gasped.
There was someone watching me.
I quickly came out of my backstroke and looked back.
No one was there.
Great, now I'm going paranoid. Seeing things and all. I decided to call it a night.
It was full moon that night, and it shone down in all its glory. The pale light lit up the dark alleyway I was walking down. I knew I should've been at least slightly apprehensive, but I wasn't. Being a Sailor Scout had its advantages. You learnt how to kick some major butt. It was chilly and I felt very glad that I walked with my coat.
They were soft at first, but they became louder. There were footsteps behind of me, slowly following. My blood ran cold and my heart rate picked up rapidly. I tried walking faster, to loose this person, but they picked up their pace too. By the way this person was stepping quite hard on the pavement, I could tell that they wanted me to notice them, to turn around. Well, I wasn't about to play the dumb movie blonde whom turned, only to be bludgeoned to death by a homicidal maniac. Besides, I had blue hair.
I listened to the footsteps behind me, and instantly realized something. It was a 'click, clack, click, clack' sound. The sound of high-heeled boots, women's high-heeled boots. But I still wasn't going to turn. Women could be homicidal maniacs too. They stopped abruptly.
"Ami, wait!" said a beautifully deep female voice. So I was right…it was also unfamiliar. "I'm not going to hurt you." Something about her voice made me suddenly fearless. I turned and faced her.
If the word 'beautiful' was to be used to describe her, that would've been a vast understatement. She was…Lord, there was no word to describe her. She was tall and slender, all dressed in black. Black sweater, black knee-length skirt, black ankle boots. It was as if the moonlight illuminated her porcelain-pale skin. She had a lovely, fine-boned face brought out by a pair of piercing blue eyes. Her hair was long silky and black. Pure black. It made her clothes look like a kind of dark grey color. And her full, red lips were curved into a smile. A small, knowing smile. I was immediately suspicious.
"How did you know my name?" I demanded. She tilted her head to one side and looked at me quite inquisitively. Then she broke out into a full-blown grin.
"I have a question for you, Ami Mizuno," she said, anticipation heavy in her voice. Before I could answer, she continued.
And asked simply the most off the wall question I could ever remember being asked.
"If given the opportunity to find your soul-mate, your one true love, would you take it, even if it entailed you losing everything you know?"
I said it was crazy.

I named this cute cowl after the street my Grandma lived on when I was a little girl. Going to visit her was one of my all time favorite things to do.
The Ribbon Street Cowl is a fast and fun project using less than one skein of your favorite DK yarn. It's small enough to tuck into your coat pocket for those chilly commuter walks early in the morning. Fashionable enough to wear in a chilly office with a dressy sweater.
Knit in the round on a circular needle, but can easily be adapted for magic loop.

HR strategies should engage the next wave of millenial leaders
Author: Kirsty Tuxford | Date: 2 Feb 2016
Organisations can create a positive reputation through the voice of their employees, says survey
Millennials are the next generation of leaders, and they make up a third of the global workforce. As the modern workplace is changing, do organisations in the Middle East need to re-evaluate their approach to engaging this employee group?
With this question in mind, human resource solution experts Aon Hewitt Middle East reviewed their engagement data from over 23,000 millennials to find out what they look for in an organisation.
The data showed that the three biggest factors in engagement for regional millennials are a company's reputation, a sense of accomplishment at work, and its people and HR practices.
"Recent studies by global organisations have shown that millennials are continuous learners who thrive on personal coaching and development," says Sophie Wolfinden, recruitment consultant for HR at Charterhouse.
"Businesses in the Middle East need to invest more heavily in training and development programmes to attract, and more importantly, retain millennials. The new generation gives as much importance to the values of a company and a collaborative work culture as to salaries offered. A company with a clear vision, a robust talent management strategy and a flexible approach will stand a far better chance of engaging and motivating their millennial employees."
The Aon Hewitt study revealed that while the factors that affect millennials' engagement levels can also impact 'Gen X' and 'baby boomers', companies should be aware that there are generational differences.
"Regardless of the generation, any employee will benefit from a culture which is focused on developing, up-skilling and ultimately empowering their key talent," says Wolfinden. "It is important to note, however, that employees require a bespoke approach when it comes to their development plans. A 'one-size fits all' strategy from HR is not likely to boost productivity and profitability, no matter the age of the employee. Each employee should have the opportunity to receive a detailed evaluation based on their individual needs and potential in order to increase their engagement."
Another key finding from the research is that millennials are not afraid to express themselves, and can have a big impact on an organisations' reputation. Experiences, views and ideas are shared frequently with connections, in person and on social media, which creates a powerful public image of the organisation. Therefore it is crucial that organisations brand themselves as authentic and create a positive reputation through the voice of their employees.

By Christine Dugas, USA TODAY
In Duluth, Minn., which is on the north shore of Lake Superior, home sales slow when Arctic winter air hits.
Even though snow has already fallen, local real estate agents are still busy this year. "We are working overtime to get all of the first-time home-buyer sales closed before the $8,000 tax credit expires on Nov. 30," says Mike Peller, president of the Duluth Area Association of Realtors.
Those sales don't show up in recent home sales reports. Sales were down 11.6% in August, compared with August last year.
And from January to August, all home sales were down 4% from the same period of 2008. But sales of homes under $150,000 were up 9%.
The first-time home-buyer stimulus has been fabulous," Peller says.
Unlike many other metro areas, Duluth largely avoided the housing bubble. "We never had a huge housing boom," says Jim Skurla, director of Business and Economic Research at the University of Minnesota-Duluth.
Its housing market has always been stable and slow-growing. As a result, there was not a lot of speculative housing, and when the bottom fell out of the national market, the region didn't have a glut of empty houses, Peller says.
But Duluth's housing market has not been insulated from the recession. The city's unemployment rate has risen, although not as high as the state's. Even many families not hit by unemployment have been holding back on home purchases.

After we left him hanging round the village for an age waiting for assistance I let him play on the machine on his own, with a few little hints he came up with these nice green key fobs.

My answer was why not create my own employment. Thus my dream was born. I will be doing something that I truly love and enjoy doing. Teaching scrapbooking/cardmaking. I want to be able to touch as many people who are like me that might not be able to get out and enjoy a class because of their busy lives but really enjoy the art of papercrafting.
I am in the process of working on some card kits and would really love if you would help me and would take a few minutes to leave a post for me and also if you could spread the word for me as well.
If you could let me know what kind of cards would you like to create. How many cards would you like included in your kit. Also what other kinds of kits would you be interested in. What would be a price of the kit you would be willing to pay (including shipping)
I hope to have a Kit ready by the middle of August if all goes well. I will tell you that my first kits for the most part will be Stampin Up products as I have lots of ideas and would love to share them w/you and hope you will enjoy them.
Hopefully everyone will want to come over to my little stand and enjoy my Lemonade ;)
I want to thank everyone who spreads the word for me as this means so much to me. So what about a little giveway. I have a little box w/goodies I would love to give to someone. So if you spread the word for me let me know and I'll add you to the giveaway pot. I will pick a winner on August 10th (to give enough time to spread the word.)
So I can't just post and not give you a card right? So here is another little card I had created I loved :
As always thank you so much for stopping by hope you enjoy your evening. As for me I will be biting my nails tonight to see which 2 dancers from So You Think You Can Dance leave. I love Jose but I think he might be one and I want Robert to win but they always place him in the bottom which is beyond me?? Although before the show ended they said that Lauren was hurt which would not be good because she is awesome as well and I would love to see her in the finals. Do you watch that show? Who are you rooting for? Wow I've asked allot of questions today HUH..lol.. Have a wonderful evening!

The development of Revit MEP in recent years now allows us to create detailed data rich 3D design models, allowing us to truly collaborate with architects, structural engineers and other members of the design team in a 3D centric common data environment. We are now regularly utilising 3D tools and realising real and measureable benefits, not only in our own deliverables, but also to the projects overall.
We have experience of modelling the services for entire buildings in a virtual 3D environment but it is only through the inclusion of attached data that the projects have shown true benefit. These include:
We are continually developing our BIM and technology capabilities to utilise the same virtual model to include, not only design information - to better integrate our design workflow and allow the automatic production of equipment schedules - but to also include the asset and operational information needed to manage and maintain the building throughout its life. We see the development of BIM to be fundamental to the delivery of all projects, both current and future.

RIO DE JANEIRO - Brazil's state-owned energy giant Petroleo Brasileiro SA, or Petrobras, said Monday it will produce 2.02 million barrels of oil equivalent per day this year, somewhat less than last year, because of the spill at a field run by U.S. firm Chevron Corp.
Production "will remain in value around the 2011 production with (a variation) of more or less 2%," Jose Miranda Formigli, head of Petrobras exploration and production, told a press conference.
"This year there is uncertainty as to a resumption of production at the (Chevron-operated) Frade field," that leaked some 2,400 barrels in November, he added.
In March, an oil spill was detected at a depth of 1,300 meters in the Frade field, in which Petrobras has a 30% stake, not far from the site of the bigger spill that occurred in November.
State prosecutors have filed legal action against Chevron and the oil-drilling contractor Transocean over the November incident, seeking $11 billion for what they have called "immeasurable" environmental damage.
Police and prosecutors have concluded that the Frade spill was caused by an error on Chevron's part.
The U.S. oil giant, which has suspended its drilling activities in Brazil since March, has denied the charges as "outrageous and without merit" and has vowed to challenge them in court.
Oil and natural gas production in Brazil last year reached an average daily record of 2.02 million boe/d, 1% higher than in 2010 but below the target set by Petrobras that hoped to reach 2.1 million.

Rick Morgan | Jun. 25, 2012why am i not surprised? reputable industry sources have stated that the leak is an ancient fault, which has seeped oil repeatedly. any effort to seal the seep would probably increase the likelihood of greater damage. why cant Petrobras and the Brazilian government accept scientific facts and move on to new efforts in an attempt to produce oil in that area? has anyone proposed offsetting and drilling the formation horizontally, in order to not disturb the fault? maybe, this is one of those places Petrobras should drill and see if they can be successful? oh, and by the way, when do we clap irons on Petrobras employees in the us for their spill in the Gulf of Mexico? fair is fair, right?

The Player's Top 5 Conquests
The Player: Top 5 Conquests
There's good news for all you pick-up artists out there who aren't seeking anything permanent. Those looking for commitments need to view the gold digger as an unattainable trophy wife — one who won't accept any ring on her finger that can't choke a lion. But, hey, you know what? When such a possibility is null and void, the woman lurking beneath the money-seeking party girl makes an appearance, and she doesn't want the saggy, shapeless rich guy for only one night. She wants the guy who can make her squeal for hours on end. Just make this plain right up front, and you'll be surprised at how quickly she might respond.
The older womanThe Conquered
There are seemingly ageless women out there who can compete with ladies half their age. I remember one in particular: A 32-year-old bombshell that became the center of attention at a club. See, I was only 23 at the time — a mere Player in training — and the intimidation factor was high. The reason why older women can prove challenging is simply because of their experience, maturity and self-confidence. They also tend to believe younger guys don't deserve their attention, simply because they don't have much on the ball. The one I'm speaking of dismissed most every 20-something around her with that "you can't handle me" demeanor. It's not an easy approach.
Veni, Vidi, Vici
There's only one thing you need to battle the age gap: Confidence with a capital "C." It's the one trait mature ladies will almost always respond to, provided you don't trip over the fine line into cockiness. Cockiness is a huge turnoff for most women over the age of 30, but if you can master a simple confidence that conveys the correct message, some of the best sex in history is nigh. It will take some time, though, so prepare for a marathon rather than a sprint. The older woman requires more proof of a man's quality and you just can't rush that decision. Keep at her throughout the night and keep maintaining that outward calm but clear interest and indicate you've bagged your fair share of such quality.
Read on to learn how to conquer the shy girl...

It's Memorial Day Weekend, another hated long and lonely holiday weekend with no Barry, no family, no cookouts etc.
I was morosing around the house feeling sorry for myself, getting depressed and teary when my eye fell upon a book that was given to me by by grief share leader. It has small one page discussion of a topic on grief and a scripture which applies to the discussion. I started reading at random and came across the section on closure and letting go. It said that releasing is not forgetting, it is the act of setting free. It said that moving on means you have to acknowledge that things will never be the same and that you WANT to go forward with your life. For me that has been the hardest thing-wanting to go forward. Oh I certainly want to keep living but I just didn't like what I was looking at, alone, lonely, missing half of myself.
Today it clicked with me that I will never lose the best parts of Barry. I will always have the things he taught me, to see the glass as half full, to look at life as an adventure, to make plans but remember that anything can happen at any time and when you least expect it, to have faith that the Lord will take care of you. When I look at these things I see that he was trying to teach me to be free from worry, doubt and carrying the past with me. I can go into the future, still unknown to me, without fear. Certainly the past has influenced who I am, but I see it now as a series of events that taught me things, not something that is being hauled behind me like an anchor. What a gift.
The little prayer at the bottom of the page says, " Lord, I do not want to forget the past but I cannot live there either. Amen."
