Smithgall Woods Regional Education Center (SWREC) was established at the Smithgall Woods - Dukes Creek Conservation Area in 1997 in response to the growing demand for hands-on environmental education. Smithgall Woods is situated on 5,600 acres, most of which was acquired by the state of Georgia through a gift-purchase from Charles Smithgall, Jr., a noted conservationist and entrepreneur. Dedicated as a Heritage Preserve and managed as a conservation area by the GA Department of Natural Resources, the park is open to the public. Activities include hiking, biking, fishing, picnicking, wildlife observation, hunting, group camping, upscale lodging and special events.
SWREC offers both onsite and outreach programs for students of all ages in cooperation with GA Department of Natural Resources (GA DNR) Wildlife Resources Division, GA DNR State Parks and Historic Sites Division and Pioneer RESA. Teacher workshops are held to help teachers learn more about North Georgia's ecosystems and the unique opportunities available at Smithgall Woods while earning PLU credit.
All programs are site-specific and are grounded on biologically-sound principles. GA DNR professionals from Parks, Game Management, Fisheries Management and Law Enforcement collaborate to share their personal experiences and expertise on a wide variety of topics. All programs correlate to the Georgia Performance Standards (available upon request).
Two or three hour-long programs can be combined for a half-day field trip experience, or single programs can provide an in-depth study addressing specific educational objectives. Teachers, parents and chaperones are encouraged to participate or even to lead an onsite activity. A variety of habitat types - pond, stream, field and forest - as well as an informative, self-interpretive Discovery Room allow for unlimited educational opportunities.

The right of the Life Guards being thrown forward, came first into collision.
I had the honour to abolish nosebands in the 2nd Life Guards.
She had a cousin in the Life Guards, with such long legs that he looked like the afternoon shadow of somebody else.
Here's the Life Guards' Band—don't they look byootiful in those dresses?
However, there was nothing for it but to have him brought back, with some state in the way of Life Guards, to Whitehall.
For some time he served in the 1st Life Guards and in the 7th Fusiliers.
Precisely at eleven the Life Guards commenced to widen the path for the procession.
I don't understand in the least: it sounds like the Life Guards.
The 2nd Life Guards were getting very weak in officers, and he had an idea that he ought to be with them.
You'd best help me carry him in, and then run for some of the Life Guards.

Mama to intact DS Dec 06 and intact DS May 10......Looking to declutter 2012 items in 2012! (27/2012)
Jenn (36), wife to DH for 13 years, DD1(13) , DD2(10) and DS(4)
Homebirth Midwife
After 4 m/c, our is here!
LOL, I think she was saying that she got her PP AF back three weeks ago, not that her birth was three weeks ago.
Part hippie-chick, part type-A career woman, all mama. Enjoying life as a wife to my partner of 11 years, and a mama to our smarty-pants toddler, Cadence.
samy - definitely sounds like some of the sperm was deposited in the right place. Any reason in particular you're only doing 1 insem per cycle? If there is a need for a "next time" (and I hope there isn't!) I'd see if you can schedule for at least 2 or 3 w/ your donor.
Congrats to the new BFP graduates!!
I had my first pregnancy related dream
Mainly due to his busy schedule. And I don't want to seem ott and scare him away or make him change his mind yk? He said we can do it twice in the months that's possible.
When are you testing?
Part hippie-chick, part type-A career woman, all mama. Enjoying life as a wife to my partner of 11 years, and a mama to our smarty-pants toddler, Cadence.
Hi, ladies,
Joining in. We are trying for #4! I know, we're nuts
Jenn (36), wife to DH for 13 years, DD1(13) , DD2(10) and DS(4)
Ovulation Question I had a temp rise of .4 on CD 14, so does that mean I probably Ovulated on CD 13? It doesn't seem like a very big temp increase compared to other's charts I've seen on here, but I did read anything between .4 and a full degree can be the Ovulation temp rise.
So this charting thing is a little trickier than I thought it would be...
When I take my temperature at 4:00am (at least from cd7 on) it is ALWAYS 96.8 degrees. I also have four days at exactly 97.45. Is that normal? I have been looking at charts and haven't seen the same temp day after day.
Also, I am wondering if I should be always using the 4:00am time to temp. It is the time that DH gets up for work, and I rarely fall completely asleep after he gets up. I usually lay there and doze, but from the looks of it, the days that I temp when I actually get up it is significantly higher than my 4:00am temps.
um the rule is .2 degrees sustained shift for a minimum of 3 days... above the last 6 temps before the shift.
So this charting thing is a little trickier than I thought it would be....
I got the target brand (up and up?) BBT. I know it's weird...but I do get other temps at other times of day. Right now, for example, it's 98.04. So it doesn't seem like it's a faulty thermometer.
Oh. That hasn't happened to me at all then. So confusing. The last 2 days have been .4 degrees higher than the previous day....but before that for several days my temps were all higher than they are right now.
Same here! Maybe my temps aren't accurate? I am taking them between 4 and 6am and being woken up once before that aswell...so I don't know.
Maybe Im not Ovulating...anovulatory is that what it's called? But I've had EWCM...
omg. I'm in shock. I got a BFP this morning! I tested 3 different times and it was faint but there on all 3! I'm just like totally in shock, but yay!!!
We have a guest staying with us right now AND having a bday party for DP in less than 2 hours so I'm not going to have a chance to post a pic right now.
Geez. Wow.

I'm worried if i lose weight after this treatment my face will look uneven.
Is It Best to Lose Weight Before Having a Juvederm Treatment?
Doctor Answers 3
Fillers and weight loss
Fillers can be done anytime. However you may notice with weight loss after treatment that you may need more product as the facial volume decrease as well with the weight loss.

Fillers can be done before weight loss
Chances are, that if you have fillers now, and then lose weight, you might need to add more filler rather than taking away some. As it's easy to add more, there is no reason to avoid having the fillers now provided the physician you see agrees that you are a candidate.
Ideal Weight for Plastic Surgery Procedures
My best advice it to have surgery or procedures at your normal weight. Trying to loose weight for a procedure is most often unsuccessful in the long term since you will likely go back to whatever your normal weight is anyway. Good luck.

Visited on a Wednesday early evening. In downtown, so street parking only. Great selection. I found several things I would have bought had I not had to carry it in my backpack. Prices were in line with expectations. I would definitely come back if in the area.
thorongil2 (118) , Ontario | September 12, 2016
Good selections of bottles from most states between North Carolina and Maine, pulse some west coast
jercraigs (544) Toronto, Ontario | November 29, 2015
2015-11-14. Decor is pretty typical wine shop shelving, wood floors. Cashier is friendly and helped us out with some packaging and tissue paper to help with getting our purchases home on the plane. Selection was pretty solid with lots of nice offerings from local breweries like Enlightenment, Night Shift, and decent number of imports. Prices seemed a bit high overall with lots of $15-20 large bottles but I don't know what those normally go for in Boston. Super handy to our hotel so it was worth a bit of a premium just for the convenience.
nate2g (1290) Boomtown!, Australia | April 26, 2015
Nice downtown bottle shop in Boston. More refrigerated stock here than others in the city, mostly for sixers. Some interesting picks here with the likes of Night Shift and other local breweries if looking for ticks. Handy for last minute shopping when jumping on a train outta South station.
chibuck (580) Chicago, Illinois | August 17, 2014
Decent downtown beer store that has a nice combination of local New England beers, Euro staples and lost of rarer Evil Twin type ticks. The selection is fairly large so you can get list browsing around. Besides some NE ticks there wasn't much new to find but it was still fun looking around. This is a decent spot if you work downtown or want a NE tick, but not a destination spot.
GenDV138 (384) Falls Church, Virginia | April 13, 2014
Nice wine shop with a good selection of craft beer along the back of the store. Lots of refrigerated 4-6 packs along with some large format bottles along the back wall. The back left corner has a nice selection of non-refrigerated large format bottles. Decent prices, maybe a bit higher than some other shops but not bad. Beer guy was very knowledgeable and friendly. Well worth a stop if you're within walking distance.
rich747 (1) , | May 15, 2013
This place is fantastic. Great management and staff, very knowledgeable and helpful. Exactly what you want out of a store, with great selection of beer and wine, the will steer you in the right direction but never pushy. The most accommodating place I have been, if they don't have it they will find it for you, I am lucky enough to work at 1 federal st so i can sneak in all the time.
Travlr (2862) Charlotte , North Carolina | September 10, 2012
Solid selection in the middle og generic downtown Boston. They had a few things I hadn't seen elsewhere making this a worthwhile stop if you're nearby, or coming/going from South Station.
Chaseman (18) Massachusetts | December 2, 2011
Do not let the name deceive you. Smack dab in the middle of Boston, hidden away from the dump known as Downtown Crossing on a narrow street is the Boston Wine Exchange. While it appears that their specialty is wine and champagnes, in the back of the store is quite a nice beer selection. Set against a hardwood decor is a nice array of craft beers ranging from BFM, The Lost Abbey, Element Brewing, Birra Del Borgo and Allagash. Considering their location, this place is pretty spectacular. Pretty good selection, very convenient.
williamstome (60) Somerville, Massachusetts | October 16, 2011
Some very nice stuff. Not a huge selection but pretty good selection.

Question: will a hernia removal effect sexual activity
|remcjj - Sat Nov 07, 2009 10:34 pm
Share |
My boyfriend had surgery a few years ago to remove his hernia. We didn't think anything of it till recently when we were trying to figure out reasons for his lack of cuming during sex or forplay. He was a virgin until we met and have only had sex three times but not once has he came. He said that when he masterbated he came but lately it's been really hard for him to. Is this related to his hernia surgery or is there another reason behind his lack of cum during sex?
|Debbie Miller, RN - Tue Dec 08, 2009 5:54 pm
Share |
There could be a number of reasons for this, including psychological concerns, but the hernia surgery would not be the problem. He can relax about that and try not to feel pressure to perform, but let things come naturally. If he continues to have trouble he could consult a therapist or urologist. I suspect with time the problem will correct itself. Sometimes masturbation results in a particular style of arousal that is not the same with a partner. While many men have no problem doing both; others do so he may want to try avoiding the masturbation for a while to see if he is able to perform better in the relationship. Most important is to be understanding about it and aware that almost all men experience this at times. It is very rarely any kind of serious concern.
Best wishes.
