You must have read the same article I did about Greenland's native hunters taking polar bears with .223 ball ammo. They just sneak up and place the shot in the right place in the back of the head. They don't want to waste an ounce of anything edible or useful.
Lazy D,
I don't know how that particular brake will do for that chambering? The only brake I've got personal experience with came on a 30-06 A-bolt I bought years ago, and the only reason I got that one was curiosity about how well its micrometer adjustment would really tune the barrel to group particular loads? It actually seems to work in that regard. People on either side of your position on the line complain about the muzzle blast, but of course recoil isn't really a problem with or without it.
The idea of a fixed brake usually causes me to have Harry's reaction. Professional hunters groan when tyros show up in Africa with a 460 Weatherby they need sighted-in because they've never fired it. (Harry, can you believe someone would drop 20-50K$ on a Safari and go without even knowing whether they could use their equipment? Apparently they do. There may really be such a thing as having too much money, after all.) On the other hand, having been privileged in the past to visit Jeff Cooper's armory and hold and snap the trigger on "Baby", his .460 G&A, and heard from him how it corrected the failure of another competent hunter's .375 H&H to stop a buffalo, I am not convinced there is
a reason for a truly heavy gun. It is just adding the weight of a muzzle brake seems to me contrary to Cooper's concepts of "handiness" and speedy target acquisition in snap shooting.
Nonetheless, I took a look at Holland's web site, and that gave me a different perspective on this particular gadget. The appeal to me is not recoil relief, but Holland's claim to stop muzzle rise so thoroughly you can see your shot kick up dust when sighting-in or see its immediate effect on game. That might prove useful. The side ports are huge, so you won't have a problem venting a large gas volume the way a round-hole brake like my Browning tuner would have. Based on that, I'd say it's worth a try for curiosity's sake, provided it can be undone if it turns out the weight is a nuisance. You should call and speak to Holland and get their two-cents-worth and answers to any technical concerns? (541) 439-5155. I'd particularly inquire whether they can guarantee such complete vertical muzzle rise suppression with what you are chambering? Without that, I would advise the client with bursitis to get a
Past recoil shield
and keep his muzzle light and pointable for surprise encounters with dangerous game.

GDS to expand Verify team as pressure to increase user numbers mounts
The Government Digital Service is recruiting for a new service manager for its identity assurance programme Verify as as part of the push to increase users of the service by more than 20 million
GOV.UK Verify lets people to register just once to access to a range of government services by allowing certified companies, such as the Post Office and Barclays, to verify their identities online.
The service went live almost a year ago, in May 2016, and currently has just 1.13 million registered accounts.
The government has made increasing this to 25 million by 2020 a central part of its recently published Transformation Strategy, and GDS is planning to expand both the service and the team that runs it.
"Over the coming year, the [Verify] service will expand to take on additional government services, including services from local authorities," GDS said in a blogpost.
"It will expand the means of assuring identities to encompass lower levels of identity proofing, as well as integration with international identity schemes to cover more people than ever before."
Councils could save £500m a year through common platform components, says GDS
Government faces 'mass exodus' of IT contractors as HMRC clamps down on tax rules
Part of this will see the team bringing in a new service manager, which the Cabinet Office said was an additional role to boost the Verify team.
"This is a new phase for Verify, where we are working on more initiatives and with more pace than ever before," the post said.
"We want someone who is as committed to transformation as we are, and in return we will offer a friendly, supportive working environment full of people who want to make a difference."
The new recruit should be "someone who lives and breathes digital transformation", GDS said, and will need to have a combination of "vision, drive, and product and technical acumen".
They will be responsible for developing a vision for GOV.UK Verify and promoting the growth of the service across the rest of government, and bring in a salary of £70,000.
The move to recruit a new person into the team comes as pressure is mounting on the government to make Verify the service of choice for all departments.
HMRC recently came under fire for suggesting it would continue developing its own, separate identity assurance scheme to replace its Government Gateway programme when it expires in 2018 – an agreement that was made in November 2016.
However, it later issued a correction that aimed to emphasise that the new service would only be for businesses, publishing a statement saying that it was "committed" to using Verify for individuals.
Speaking at a Westminster e-Forum event on 16 March, Daniel Thornton, programme director at the Institute for Government, said that broad adoption of Verify – such as its use by HMRC and the Department for Work and Pensions – would be a "key test" of how government is doing on digital.
"It's clearly something [the government] needs to sort out," said Thornton, adding that without increased buy-in, the credibility of the messages from both the centre of government and GDS risked being undermined.
The closing date for applications for the Verify service manager is 28 March and the interviews will be held in the week beginning 10 April.

We were at the Strawberry Festival in Monroe CT last weekend. This is a great show, the strawberry shortcake is absolutely delicious. As always, we get to see many of our repeat customers and listen to their stories about chickadees, wrens, and many other songbirds raising families in the birdhouses they purchased from us.
We would like to share some pictures from Kevin and Kristen who have purchased birdhouses from us throughout the years. Hope you enjoy them as much as we have. Thank you, see you again next year!

My wife loves birdhouses! I'll have to show her this blog, she'll enjoy reading all of this. I was thinking of trying to find her some fancy birdhouses for her birthday to put in the backyard, maybe I can figure out what kind she'd like after she reads this blog. Thanks!

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — Say hello to Buttercup.
The 2-year-old male Masai giraffe came to the Oregon Zoo from Santa Barbara, already 12-feet tall and growing fast.
He'll be spending his time in the zoo's Africa Savanna habitat after taking about a month to adjust to his new surroundings.
Eventually, Buttercup will hang out with Bakari and Desi and the smaller animals in that habitat.
Masai giraffes can grow to 18 feet tall and are the tallest mammals on earth. Zoo officials said Masai giraffes can have tongues that are 21 inches long, can run as fast as 35 mph and eat up to 75 pounds a day of leaves and brush.
Of course, The Foundations also wish to build up Buttercup:

What if the hottest guy in the world was hiding a nameless evil and all he wanted was you?At the start of this heart-pounding new installment of the bestselling House of Night series, Zoey's friends have her back again and Stevie Rae and the red fledglings aren't Neferet's secrets any longer. But an unexpected danger has emerged. Neferet guards her powerful new consort, Kalona, and no one at the House of Night seems to understand the threat he poses. Kalona looks gorgeous, and he has the House of Night under his spell. A past life holds the key to breaking his rapidly spreading influence, but what if this past life shows Zoey secrets she doesn't want to hear and truths she can't face?On the run and holed up in Tulsa's Prohibition-era tunnels, Zoey and her gang must discover a way to deal with something that might bring them all down. Meanwhile, Zoey has a few other little problems. The red fledglings have cleaned up well--they've even managed to make the dark, creepy tunnels feel more like home--but are they really as friendly as they seem? On the boyfriend front, Zoey has a chance to make things right with super-hot ex-, Eric, but she can't stop thinking about Stark, the archer who died in her arms after one unforgettable night, and she is driven to try to save him from Neferet's sinister influence at all costs. Will anyone believe the power evil has to hide among us?

5 to try: Doha spa treatments
Exfoliate, rejuvenate, be massaged and more ways to relax 1 Comments
- Picture 1 of 2
The sun, the heat and the dust can all wreak havoc on your skin in Qatar. So, taking their cue from clogged pores and faces desperately in need of some relief from the stresses of modern day Doha, Bliss has introduced their Hydrafacial MD, a pumped up facial for the Doha girl (or guy). It starts with a painless extraction using vacuums to scoop out a summer's worth of gunk and leave your pores clean, clear and visible smaller. Next, a variety of serums and a gentle peel target fine lines, wrinkles, hyper pigmentation, brown spots, sun damage, acne and basically anything else that could be wrong with your skin. It finishes with a firming collagen mask and a thick layer of moisturizer, the ultimate remedy to the havoc of a Qatar summer on your skin. Hydrafacial MD, 60 minutes for QR2000.
W Doha (4453 5353)
Four Seasons Spa
Enter the land of milk and honey with the Royal Arabian Asrar, their special three-step package with an Arabian twist. It starts with a exfoliating body polish containing date seeds to slough away a summer's worth of dry, flaky skin, before moving on to a body mask made of milk and honey to hydrate your skin. It all wraps up with a milk bath, complete with floating rose petals, moisturizer, and a traditional mint foot treatment. Plus, as with any treatment at the Four Seasons, you then get to loll around their pool and spa area, which includes a colour therapy room, hydrotherapy pools and plunges, Jacuzzis, steam rooms, ice rooms and more. Royal Arabian Asrar, 105 minutes for QR870.
Four Seasons (4494 8888)
Eforea: Spa at Hilton
You don't have to have dates and honey involved to be local. One of the things modern Qatar is best known for is it's jet setting lifestyles, and it's emerging role as a travel hub! But all that travel, especially this time of year, can get a body down. Head over to one of the city's newest spas for the Jet Lag Body Remedy. It starts with organic aromatherapy essences in what they call a 'Vichy experience'—a shower with an edge. Next, you get an exfoliation with minerals and botanical to help wipe away the residue of travel. Finally, a Swedish massage with healing stones gets your body ready for a warm wrap, complete with scalp massage and foot treatment as you relax and watch the jet lag (hopefully) drift away. Jet Lag Body Remedy, 90 minutes for QR650.
Hilton Doha (4423 3333)
Remède Spa
Qatar's original claim to fame was its pearls, and you can see them everywhere—even at the spa! Try the Cooling Pearl facial, which includes pure pearl extracts, white lotus stem cells and oxygen infused with amino acids and peptides to brighten and battle aging, while the anti-inflammatory qualities of pearl will also help soothe skin irritation. Or, go in for a full body pearl experience, with their Pearl Escape package. It starts with a skin brushing and scrub, followed by a scalp treatment and mineralizing mask before you're popped in the Vichy shower and finally finished off with a moisturizing body masque, all infused with pearl. Cooling Pearl Facial or Pearl Escape 90 minutes for QR1,700.
St. Regis Doha (4446 0000)
Six Senses Spa
This spa already has the market cornered on traditional, arabesque luxury. It's modeled after a traditional Arabic village, with battered wood, old stone and twisting corridors as far as the eye can see. We particularly like their Slow Life line of treatments, using sustainable, local and organic ingredients that take local traditions and bring them into the modern spa. They offer several treatments, including their Local Journey, inspired by Qatar, which includes a full body scrub followed by a date and honey wrap and ending with a full body oil massage, or try the Arabian Facial, which involves figs, almond powder and melted honey slathered on the skin. But you can't get much more Arabic than a hammam, the ancient bath treatment that's still popular today and guarantees softer, fresher skin: perfect after a dusty summer. They offer two versions, the Traditional, including a scalp ritual using mud infused with rosewood and an exfoliation using homemade soap and a special loofa, or the Moroccan, a warm herbal steam bath where you're washed with Moroccan soap before lying on a heated marble bed for an exfoliation using a special hammam mitt. Local Journey, 2.4hrs for QR1400, Arabian Facial, 50 minutes for QR500, Traditional Hammam, 50 minutes for QR730, Moroccan Hammam, 50 minutes for QR680.

City Accepting Proposals to Amend Comprehensive Plan (1)
March 20, 2013
Jeri Rowe-Curtis
Pete Sullivan
Redmond, WA
—The City of Redmond invites any individual, business or organization to submit applications for amendments to Redmond's Comprehensive Plan and associated Zoning Code provisions. The application deadline is 5pm Tuesday, April 30, 2013.
The Comprehensive Plan establishes Redmond's future vision and policy direction, and guides decisions such as how property may be developed and where to direct investments in infrastructure. Zoning code regulations are based on Comprehensive Plan policy, and some zoning designations cannot be changed without first amending the Comprehensive Plan.
Under state law Redmond may update its Comprehensive Plan once per year. As the first step in this process, the City invites people to identify proposed changes to the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Code that should be considered. After the changes are identified, the Redmond Planning Commission and then the City Council will review and confirm the list of amendments to be considered over the course of the year. The purpose of establishing this list is to coordinate proposed changes and to help the community track progress.
Community-initiated proposals may involve amendments to either the text or map portions of the Comprehensive Plan. There is no fee to apply for a comprehensive plan amendment or associated zoning code changes.
Applications must be submitted electronically; forms are available at
. A pre-consultation meeting with staff is required prior to submitting an application.
In December 2011, the City completed a 'periodic update' of the Comprehensive Plan, which included review and update of the document as a whole in response to changes in state and regional policy, account for changes since the last periodic update in 2004, reflect Redmond's sustainability principles and to extend the horizon year for the Comprehensive Plan to 2030. The 2012-13 amendment package included a mix of privately-initiated proposals and City-initiated efforts such as completing the Transportation Master Plan update, which is now under review by Redmond's Planning Commission.
For the 2013-14 amendment period, the City anticipates completing updates such as for the Southeast Redmond Neighborhood Plan and to stormwater management policies to reflect current regulations and practices. Redmond City Council is expected to approve the final list of proposed 2013-14 Comprehensive Plan Amendments in July 2013; interested parties can track amendments via the web page below.
Contact Pete Sullivan, Senior Planner, for additional information, at
or 425-556-2406.

Is it better to get the seed down in late fall/early winter or to just get an early start in spring before the ground thaws? I was researching this and a link I came across mentions getting the seed down when soil temps go below 50 F and the seed cannot fully germinate. At this point it can still absorb water and start to germinate before freezing for the winter. Then, when the seed thaws in spring and the ground heave settles you are about 4 weeks ahead of the game with good seed/soil contact and that is what makes this a successful practice. Any info/experiences to share?

Hutton - I'm staying
Kyle Hutton believes he can take advantage of the high-profile departures at Rangers to play more games for the club.
By Rebecca Stephenson
Last Updated: 27/06/12 5:45pm
Kyle Hutton believes he can take advantage of the high-profile departures at Rangers to play more games for the club.
The midfielder is the third player to reveal he will be reporting for pre-season training, after Lee Wallace and Lee McCulloch announced their decisions to stay earlier this week.
The trio are very much in the minority, after eight of their team-mates made it clear they would not be returning to the club after they refused to transfer their contracts to Charles Green's Sevco company.
But Hutton hopes he can turn the decisions of his colleagues into a positive for himself.
"With the other players that are leaving, I look upon what has happened as something which presents me with a chance to play more games for the club," said the man who spent last season on loan at Partick Thistle and Dunfermline.
"Like everyone else in the first-team squad, I've had a good long, hard think about the situation.
"As sad as everything which has been going on is, this is still Rangers we are talking about and it's an extremely attractive team for people to play for.
"For me, it is in my best interests to stay where I am and to try to establish myself in the side next season.
"I'm still a young player who is learning his trade and hopefully I've got a long career ahead of me so this is a great place for me to keep learning."
But Hutton is still unsure which league he will be 'learning' in. It looks very unlikely that Green's club will be accepted into the SPL, but whether they are allowed to take a place in the second tier or even committed to life in the Irn-Bru third division remains to be seen.
But the 21-year-old told the club's official website the destination of the club does not concern him.
He said: "I enjoyed it in the First Division with Partick last season.
"If that's where we were to end up playing, I'd know what to expect and it's a tough league.
"For the players who are remaining with Rangers, it's still a good level to play at and it'll be a bigger test for us than some might think should we go into that competition.
"Being a First Division player definitely toughened me up and my mentality changed for the better.
"I learned to appreciate some grounds aren't as fancy as others but you still need to dig in and get results wherever you go. That has helped me a lot.
"Whatever league we are in, there will be pressure on us to win it and the players who are at Ibrox will rise to that."

As moisture evaporates in hotter climates, the underlying skin feels cooler. When worn as a layer in frigid weather, the fabric dries to regulate the body temperature of the wearer.
Don't expect this kind of built-in comfort from chemically treated FR cotton. When you sweat in a cotton garment, the fabric becomes sodden and water-logged with the moisture being absorbed with no place to go. The fabric becomes heavy and makes moving around more difficult and only increases the discomfort of being in a hot or humid environment and makes a chill even worse. Treated cotton fabrics become so saturated that it becomes more and more difficult for the fabric to dry and any comfort is significantly diminished while the moisture simply remains in the fabric.
There's no worry of any of these problems if you make sure you wear fabrics that supply evaporative cooling effects from TenCate with Coolderm™ Technology. Be sure, be comfortable, be safe: Wear TenCate.

We made it! Yesterday was the 100th day of the 100 Days for a Fruitful Summer challenge! Today is the first day of fall!
Over the past 100 days we have grown plots of earth or areas of yard from bare patches to complete fruition. Some may have grown a multitude of crops or flowers to be harvested and saved or shared with others. Whether you climbed fruit trees to gather fruits or stayed with your feet firmly planted on the ground this has been a season of growth.
The rewards of gardening or planting are many. Aside from the actual harvesting of crops, which is the main reward for most people, there are intangible rewards, too. I'm sure the rewards are different for everyone, but here are some of the unexpected rewards that I got!
I got to spend extra time with my family, especially my daughters. From picking fruits to planting seeds and then baking the fruits into amazing treats and preserving the foods for later this is time that we would otherwise not have spent together. I got to spend some extra time with my mother and a couple of my brothers.
I was rewarded with an increase in my Vitamin D from the time outdoors that I would normally have spent inside the house. (I did use my sunscreen!)
I was rewarded with knowledge; I learned so much about gardening and landscaping that I can now have an almost intelligent conversation with green thumbs! I also learned more about canning and freezing foods. I learned more about cooking and baking with fresh fruits and vegetables.
I was rewarded with the joy that came from all of the other rewards that I received!
I was rewarded with a sense of adventure in gardening and landscaping that I hope to expand upon every summer!
I was rewarded with an appreciation for dirt that I never had before.
I was rewarded with the knowledge that I was doing something good for the environment. Big rewards there!
Those are just some of the rewards and benefits I reaped during the 100 Days to a Fruitful Summer challenge. Yours may be different. Oh, and those were just the rewards that I got from the "actual" gardening!
On your climb to the top of the tree of success I hope you realized some tangible and intangible rewards yourself!
I experienced rewards as I climbed toward my goals, too! Some of my goals I reached and some I just moved closer to. I will not stop reaching for new heights and greater rewards on all of my goals!
What is so important for today is that you recognize your accomplishments from the past 100 days. Take note of where you were 100 days ago and where you are today! Reward yourself for your accomplishments! You should always reward yourself in some way when you reach a goal. Give yourself a huge pat on the back for accomplishing what you set out to do. Give yourself something as a reward for that achievement. It doesn't have to be expensive. It can be a pedicure or massage. It can be a new book or cool pen. It can be a vacation or piece of jewelry. I like to gauge my tangible rewards (massages are tangible) based on the level of my accomplishment. Oh, and try not to reward health related (weight loss) goals with food. This is a hard one for me. Food is 'my thing'. I love it! (Not a news flash – I know) However, rewarding a health goal with food doesn't fit in with the neuroscience surrounding healthy habits and rewards. I want to train my brain to associate health goals with non-food rewards, like new shoes or new clothes!
Today is a day of recognition, rewards, and celebration! Take this day to love yourself and be proud of your accomplishments! Do one nice thing for yourself (reward!) for every one goal you accomplished over the last 100 days! Oh, and make sure to do one nice thing for yourself for every one major shift or forward motion that you had toward the fruition of your goals. Some goals just cannot be met in 100 days. They need a little more time. So reward yourself for your growth!
Today's Challenge: Reward yourself! Celebrate! Have an excellent day! Be happy!
"The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate." ~ Oprah Winfrey

Martin has built the world's finest ukuleles since 1916, and tenor ukes since 1929 that have long been prized for their full-bodied voice and great volume. The T1K tenor-sized model features top, back and sides crafted of solid Hawaiian koa, a wood native to Hawaii and a favorite of island players. Entire body is finished in high quality satin lacquer, and features an applied dovetail neck joint. The T1K Uke is a beautiful example of why Martin is still the name in superior quality ukuleles.

The second edition of the Summer School in Urban Ethnography @ UNITN aims to strengthen and develop the experience and positive working environment established in the first edition. The School's core mission remains to provide participants with an inside view on the practice of urban ethnography. (see the brochure: summer_school_urb_ethn_2014_brochure)
As such, the School represents a forum where adepts, students, cadets and scholars may familiarize themselves with the status of the discipline, absorbing the tools and tricks of the trade directly from long-time practitioners. A sustained theoretical reflection is, in our view, an essential companion rather than an alternative to fieldwork.
The second edition of the School is focused on the visual – at the conceptual, methodological and substantive level. For a week, we will dive into current debates about:
- Urban visuality and urban in/visibilities;
- Visualizing the city, urban rhythms and urban transformations;
- Visualizing urban objects, spaces, atmospheres, events and cultures;
- Researching into the visible and invisible life of public places;
- Understanding the episteme of the image;
- Practicing and reflecting upon visual research methodologies.
Teaching method will be based mainly on interactive formats, such as workshops, data sessions, and 'ethnographer's kitchen' sessions. Participants will have a chance to present their research project and hear a feedback on them.
There will be four keynote lectures by established international scholars. Presentation of case studies and on-going research will occupy a large share of the allotted time. Reading materials will be circulated well in advance among participants, ensuring that they arrive at the meeting with a strong shared background.
The Summer School draws on the expertise of the Department of Sociology at the University of Trento in the study of urban sociology, urban cultures and territorial analysis. It is co-organized and supported by the Italian ethnography journal Etnografia e Ricerca Qualitativa.

Surely everyone must have heard of the wonderful Carnival of Venice! Long gowns, colorful masques and never ending celebrations cover Piazza San Marco during this annual festivity.
It is said that the Carnival of Venice started in 1162. To honor a victory in battle, people were dancing and gathering in San Marco Square.
Even though the festival started in that period, it became an official festivity only during the Renaissance.
Today, approximately 3 million visitors come to Venice every year for the Carnival. This event is considered one of the most popular festivals in the world.
Piazza San Marco
Gran Canal
Doge's Palace
Rialto Bridge
Ca' Rezzonico
You can either fly straight to Venice, or you drive from Milan, Verona or any other Italian city, or take a train. The best option would be to fly straight, however, if you are coming from outside Europe, you might have to transit in Milan. If you are stopping there, then you can jump on a train to Venice—the trip lasts for 2 hours.
The carnival this year starts on 11/2 and ends on 28 of February.

Brief History
In 2007, the Agricultural Resources Committee (ARC), an advisory committee to the San Juan County Council, proposed that additional support be given to help local farmers establish permanent farmers market facilities and otherwise promote successful marketing of local agricultural goods in the islands. In early December that year, a group of people representing a broad range of county agencies, farmers and local food advocates met to determine and plan how best to proceed. The result was the formation of an independent entity – the San Juan Islands Agricultural Guild – committed to coordinating its marketing, education and economic development programs with those of other county and regional entities having similar and complementary goals. The new entity was ratified at a public meeting in Friday Harbor on February 4, 2008.
As its initial major project, the Guild sought to locate and establish a year-round facility for the San Juan Islands Farmers Market. In just a few short years, with significant community support – along with significant public and private funding – the Guild secured an historic, centrally-located property in the downtown retail core of Friday Harbor. This property, dubbed "Brickworks" in recognition of its original function, has now been completely transformed and re-purposed with the installation of an attractive outdoor paved Plaza and a completely remodeled Building.
In quick order, Brickworks has become firmly established not only as the home of the San Juan Islands Farmers Market, but also as the home of the Friday Harbor Art Market. It has also rapidly become a favored venue for a variety of other community educational and cultural events, as well as a meeting room for various community organizations. The latest addition – a commercially certified Community Kitchen – promises to extend the suitability of the Building for an even wider range of community activities.
Moving Forward
Having essentially completed the Brickworks Project, the Guild has begun laying out the framework of a comprehensive education program targeted across the spectrum of agriculture – from producers to processors to consumers.
In 2016, the Ag Guild and partners (SJC Agricultural Resources Committee, Orcas Food Co-op, Northwest Agriculture Business Center, and Washington State University in San Juan County) worked closely to develop a local "food hub" for San Juan County. A food hub is an aggregation site (or series of sites) with cool and cold storage and an on-line ordering system for farmers, restaurants, and grocery outlets wishing to buy and sell local food. The Ag Guild was awarded a USDA Local Food Promotion Program (LFPP) grant of $25,000 to undertake a Feasibility Study and create a Business Plan for the San Juan County Food Hub. In 2017, the Ag Guild and food hub project partners will be applying for a USDA LFPP implementation grant and, in the meantime, undertaking a private fundraising campaign to get the San Juan County Food Hub up and running on San Juan, Orcas, and Lopez islands. Establishing cold storage aggregation points on these islands, combined with a virtual sales platform and inter-island distribution system, is a top priority for the Ag Guild in 2017.
In March 2014, the Guild agreed to take over the "Island Grown in the San Juans" branding program from ARC and incorporate it into the Guild's evolving overall marketing program to support its mission.
As always, the Guild welcomes input and suggestions from all quarters as it seeks to enhance the overall quality of life of island residents and visitors alike.

Sunday, 01st August 2010
It was around 3 at afternoon, and I was at Mohalchhori Bazaar of Khagrachhori. I was in a hesitation about visiting the "Mohalchhori Lake" or not. Its around 1 hour bike distance from the bazaar. The only problem is, there is only one last bust waiting at the stand. Also there will be no bus to return back from that spot.
Its raining slightly, and will increase soon. If I take a bike, it will be risky, cause the roads are narrow, and slippy due to rain. But finally shown some courage, decided to visit the place by riding a bike. I have hired a tribal guy, named "Udina Marma". His phone number is "01825757665". He is an expert crazy bike rider.
The lake is situated at "Mohalchhori Dak Banglow". After one hour, I have reached at the Mohalchhori lake. If you wish, you can stay at that Banglow at night. The lake is actually a part of Kaptai Lake. Some portion of Kaptai also felt at the border point of Khagrachhori-Rangamati.
When I have reached at the bank of the lake, where the river chengi and the lake joined together, it was my bad luck or good luck I don't know, a heavy rain just started after that, sustained for around an hour. Finding on other alternative, I had to stay under a tin shaded club house until the rain disappear. I know I can visit the lake again, but that time rain may not come as a fortune. So overall I'm happy.
Actually I had a plan to cross the lake with a boat to reach the "Nanniar Chor" to explore more, and also to have some boat ride over the river. The rain just forbid me to do so. If you visit the place, I'll suggest you to go there before 12, and the after enjoying the place, just return back before sunset. How I have returned back from there, i have narrated at my another post.

Looking to book cheap flights ? Having problems deciding on what is considered to be cheap and what is in reality real value for money? Having issues with knowing which are the best bargain deals available?
Here are some tips that Travel Shop UK advises to all its passengers who are looking to book cheap flights around the world.
While searching for cheap flights the first and most important thing is the planning phase. This is important as the prices depend on the day, month and season of travelling.
Ticket prices are always affected by the season of travel. The season of travel are divided into 2 categories, High season and the Low season. All the holidays months are included in the High season and the prices are normally expensive during that period. Rest of the months lie under the low season and the prices of tickets are generally less expensive.
Booking in advance can help in purchasing cheap tickets. Normally almost all airlines release their flight schedule 10 to 11 months in advance. So if a person is certain about his/her travelling dates then it's better to book in advance.
Keeping in mind the factors like fuel prices always affect the price of the ticket.
Once the planning is done then comes the part of searching for cheap tickets. It is always recommended to keep the search criteria wide. If you looking to travel from the UK, then a wide search would include all the airports in the UK. Sometimes flight from London Heathrow may be expensive rather than from Gatwick or London City Airport.
While searching it is also better to have flexibility in the travelling dates. Sometimes the date in which you want to travel might not have cheap flights available, but with a few day's flexibility might help you in getting the cheaper fare.
Travelshopuk's search engine provides you with all the options required to book a flight without any hassle. Enter your travelling dates, you departure and destination airport, number of passengers travelling, search with any particular airline or just search in random to find the cheapest airline.
After the search is complete then comes the process of booking. Make sure while booking correct name/names are provided according to the passport. A mistake in the name can cause a problem. Some airlines charge a small amount with the name amendment and some just refuses to make the amendments, in that case a new ticket has to be purchased with the correct name/names.
So if you booking online or via calling over the phone make sure correct details are provided to avoid any problem later on.
You can send us an online query or give us a call and let us know your requirement and then just sit back and relax and let our specialized Travel Advisors do all the searching for you and provide you with a final end result for your approval.
All details are sent via email to the passengers to check and confirm back. Once a confirmation reply from the passenger has been received only then payment is charged and the ticket is issued.
Booking made easy and without any hassle.

The person who just spoke up was Ye Zi Xiao. He also got into the ambulance to sit next to the woman. The two of them looked at Xu Xu.
Xu Xu coldly said: "I'm not going."After that, she smiled faintly and waved her hand to encourage them.
When she got Ji Bai's call, Xu Xu was holding a flashlight, carefully observing the grass.
At this moment, it was already late, the wind was blowing the trees that looked like ghosts. Ji Bai's voice rang out through the night, wearing the feeling of coldness and laziness: "What time is it?"
Xu Xu froze up.
The police had closed the park for investigation after the ambulance left. The police then started to investigate with the park's manager to see if there were any blades left. Xu Xu told the police her identity; she was also a witness, so she could remain at the site.
In that excited state, she forgot about the time, and had also forgotten about her assignment.
She reported the situation, and Ji Bai calmly said: "Give your phone to the one in charge."
The police office who was in charge was a man in his 30s. After receiving the phone, he smilingly said: "Ji Bai, Hello, Hello! The situation is…"
After reporting for a while, the police officer gave the phone back to Ji Bai. Ji Bai asked: "Does your phone have the ability to video call?"
Xu Xu was caught off guard: "Yes." IT was her favorite brand for cellphone, laptop, and MP4. They're equipped with the latest technology.
"Turn it on!"
Even though the lights at the park were all turned on, the park was still quite dark. Hearing that Ji bai wanted to observe the site, everyone gathered around the site since they were curious.
Xu Xu turned on the video call. She was puzzled: What did Ji Bai want to do?
Xu Xu held up the phone while walking around the park. Ji Bai hadn't spoken, she could hear another man's voice from his end: " Ji Bai, come here and drink!"
"Wait a moment," Ji Bai laughingly replied.
Xu Xu frowned a bit. Right at this time, Ji Bai suddenly spoke up: "The trees on the right of the mountain, and at the place where there are palm trees behind you."
After a couple of minutes, everyone clapped in praise because they found blades hidden there.
After that, Ji Bai said to let the police officers do the rest.
The expression of the police officer changed, he wanted to speak with Ji Bai: " Ji Bai, thank you.. when it happened, there were only a few people at the park so there wasn't much of a panic. Xu Xu of your team did a great job. As expected of your student.. a great teacher makes a great student.."
All the people around turned to look at Xu Xu with surprised and respectful eyes.
Xu Xu's face turned red.
After a while, the man gave Xu Xu back her phone, saying in a nice tone: " Xu Xu, your teacher wants to talk to you."
After seeing Ji Bai's ability, she couldn't help but feel emotional. She couldn't help but ask Ji Bai: "How did you know that?"
Before that, the police officers had analyzed the places where the blades could be hidden, and Xu Xu had also thought about it. They started to locate the blades, but since the park was quite large, it wasn't easy to find them in a short amount of time. While it was already quite late, Ji Bai just swiftly observed the site, and he was already able to locate the blades.
Who would have thought that Ji Bai would question back: " You haven't answered my question back then, what time is it now?"
" What time did you tell me that you would finish the assignment?"
Ji Bai laughed faintly. The sound reached Xu Xu, having a kind of ridiculing tone.

Let me know of any confusion or mistake. I'll fix it asap ^^

I just got back from my second lunch of the day. It's not quite "Fourthmeal", but fantastic nonetheless. At roughly 11:27 am on Monday, July 13th, half of the lights in the front office lost power. A woman quietly strode into the workspace area, the only sound being the click of her stiletto heels on the thinly carpeted floor with nothing separating it from the concrete subfloor below. Not really, but I thought it would be cool to make it sound like a detective story because Bill grew a mustache, and all he can talk about now is his first wife and Dennis Franz.
Pretty soon after the power went out, I decided to go to lunch because I was unable to actually get any work done at my desk. The midday meal was brief, as it only took a short while to eat my Big Mac and throw a couple of McDonald's Cokes down my gullet. Upon returning to the office, I learned that the other half of the electricity had gone the way of the sabre-toothed tiger and wooly mammoths of days long past and freaking died. All that remained was a warehouse full of medical devices, medical device paraphernalia, and an office filled with post-modern day computing equipment, left exactly as it was when the power went off almost a full 45 minutes earlier.
After a physically, mentally and emotionally draining half hour of sitting in the loading dock with some co-workers, the decision was made to make the trek to the local wing joint for what was most appropriately termed "Second Lunch". This meal is a close cousin of the traditional Hobbit "Second Breakfast", but as you can most likely devise, this meal consists of lunch instead of breakfast.
While I didn't actually eat anything on my "Second Lunch", the time spent NOT at work was a welcome addition to my day. For the time being, I am stuck at my desk with our email servers still down and my desk phone on hold with some unknown number playing all different sorts of Muzak through the external speaker. The voice that periodically interrupts and says "Please hold, we'll be right with you", also has a calming effect. I hope something happens soon, because I'm about to tear my ears out through my throat.

News story
Foreign Secretary welcomes EU's 'toughest ever' sanctions against Iran
- From:
- Foreign & Commonwealth Office and The Rt Hon William Hague
- Part of:
- Weapons proliferation, Iran's nuclear programme, and Iran
- Published:
- 25 June 2012
This was published under the 2010 to 2015 Conservative and Liberal Democrat coalition government
The EU today agreed that the oil ban against Iran will come into force on 1 July.
Commenting on the move, Foreign Secretary William Hague said:
"Today the EU has agreed that the oil ban against Iran will come into force as planned on the 1 July. This is an important step and one for which the UK Government has argued strongly. Alongside new US sanctions, which also come into force this week, these restrictive measures are the toughest ever adopted against the Iranian Government. They reflect the international community's resolve, and our determination, to intensify the peaceful pressure on Iran until it starts to build confidence that its nuclear programme is purely peaceful.
"Recent talks between the E3+3 and Iran on its nuclear programme were frank but difficult, with little progress made. Despite the negotiating powers' best efforts in Baghdad and Moscow, the Iranian Government has so far failed to agree any concrete steps to address the international community's serious concerns. It is not too late for Iran to give a more promising response to the offer of the E3+3, but they have not yet done so. The UK Government will argue for intensified sanctions over the coming months if there is no progress made in these negotiations."

Reductions in Social Network Visualizations
ARTICLE: 'Reductions in Social Network Visualizations' (by @ellenbijster) #bigdata #dataviz #truthclaim
Apart from the well known privacy concerns, there seems to be a general enthusiasm in social studies and the humanities about the availability of large data sets for research through the APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) of sites like Facebook and Twitter. Big Data is surrounded with an aura of objectivity, accuracy and truth. This is why having the computing power to process, scrape, clean and visualize these social data sets can feel like we are closing in on the holy grail of social science: the bigger the data, the bigger the insights? This paper aims to critically investigate what insights can actually be gained from social network visualizations by analyzing the technical process of visualizing Big Data, the underlying assumptions of visual representations of networks, and the contextual limitations of social network data.

Okay. I have not been a part of the B.O.M., but I did a Corn & Beans block on my own. Here is what I did. It's not as nice as the photos in the B.O.M. section, but I like it.

Most people we know use Spotify for music-streaming service. Some are content with the free version while others don't mind paying a monthly premium. And since it's one of the top streaming services today, Spotify wants to maintain its luster by making updates and adding new features. The latest from the Swedish developers is video content on the Android version of Spotify.
Admit it. That's something you imagined to be since it's such a breeze to search for songs, genres, and playlists on the app. Perhaps there are times that you wish a video would play without having to go to YouTube. Expect the updated Spotify to go live on the Play Store in the US before January ends. The update will also roll out in its native Sweden, Germany, and United Kingdom.
Last year, we learned that Spotify might offer premium-only content by early 2016. We're not sure if the videos and podcasts from content providers like the BBC, Comedy Central, Maker Studios, Vice Media, and and ESPN will be charged but that's likely to happen at launch. After months of beta testing and running videos on the app, Spotify is ready to deliver. Streaming may not be as fast or smooth but the feature is a welcome addition. More content are expected to be available as Spotify waits for more partners and content providers.
The idea is that Spotify would suggest related videos or contextually relevant content that one can easily click. Hopefully, this version of the app will be ready to accommodate all videos. The company noted that showing videos based on the genre or kind of music is effective. It's easier to search for videos now but that means more possible distractions for people. The devs noted that possibility and are now thinking how to categorize video content.
Spotify is more of a music listening app. More people use it to listen to songs. Otherwise, the default app is YouTube where millions of videos are available. We're not sure how many percentage of the 75 millions users are interested in videos on Spotify but we know there are people who've been wanting the said feature.
The video update will only be available for Android mobile devices. Nothing for the desktop or iOS version yet but you can expect some changes to arrive soon. Spotify could be a success but the industry is already saturated. Spotify could also make more money with video content but that should happen later.
At present, Spotify is partnering with more content sources including Condé Nast Entertainment, Turner's Adult Swim, and TBS and Fusion. Curated video playlists will be provided soon for a better mobile experience.

text: But what is, except for the original landmark itself? I've been to WDW twice - and my favorite park there is the Magic Kingdom. I enjoy AK, MGM and Epcot, but none of them are the MK. And, the MK is not Disneyland. The same is true for DCA. It is not Disneyland. But it is very nice in its own right. And is a wonderful addition to the new "Disneyland Resort." By it's own, I agree, at this point in time, I don't believe I would visit it as my sole destination. But I also don't think I would just visit WDW for Ak, MGM or Epcot by themselves. What makes WDW work is the fact that you have 4 very complimentary parks working together. Plus, Downtown Disney and beautiful themed Disney hotels. The fun is being there in the midst of all that magic. Hopping between parks, hotels, shopping, etc. On my last trip, we went to MGM each and every day, but except for the first day, only rode 2 rides, the Rock N Roller Coaster and Tower of Terror. I think what they have created with the new Disneyland Resort is well on its way to what Florida has. Now that I have the 2 park hopper, I look forward to taking it all in. Starting out early at DCA, going on Soarin' over California. Hitting a few rides and then hopping over to Disneyland. After that, hanging out at the new Downtown Disney. I think one of the best additions is all the new eateries. I was really impressed with all of the new food additions. That's about it.I've only visited DCA once, but I liked it. Didn't love it, but I think I may in time. Just some thoughts.

Frequently Asked Questions
-Can the backs of charms be stamped?
Unfortunately, I am unable to stamp on the backs of charms, as it can alter the stamping on the opposite side of even the thickest charms.
-How long will it take to receive my order?
U.S. Orders:
All orders are made within one week, usually sooner, and shipped to the address you list Etsy using first class mail (which takes an additional 2-5 days for U.S. postal delivery.)

Priority is an additional $3 (2-3 day delivery in the mail). Next Day is an additional $18.
International Orders:
International orders are shipped within one week using first class international mail. I am unable to guarantee delivery times, as items can get caught up in customs. I am also unable to track international orders (except for Canada) after they leave the US. It usually takes around 2-3.5 weeks for delivery, but may be shorter or longer.
**Please note, international orders, including Canada, must go through customs, and you may be required to pay additional taxes to your country. Any duties or fees imposed are the responsibility of the customer to pay.

Visit my Etsy site here. If you would like to order a piece, click the green "Add To Cart" button on the right. Depending on what item you are ordering, there will be drop down option menus for selecting necklace type/length, etc. Upon checkout, there is a "Note to Wearable Whispers" area where you can enter the rest of the applicable data needed to complete your order: Please list the following:

-Placement- if different from main photo, ex: name straight across, date curled along bottom
-Pearl/crystal type (if included)

-Phone number (optional) but recommended during busy seasons or if you don't check your email often- just in case I have a question and can't reach you via Etsy or email:) If you want to request a totally different style, please contact me with the details and I can set up a custom listing.
-Do you gift-wrap?
Each order is shipped in a small gift box and bag and includes a sample polish cloth- ready to give as a gift:) If you are ordering multiple items for the same person, or just want one gift box, please let me know, so I don't waste. Thanks!

All orders are made once full payment is received. You can pay through Etsy with a debit/credit card or Etsy gift card. You may also pay through PayPal online, even if you don't have an account with them. Need help checking out?, I have a tutorial here: http://www.wearablewhispers.blogspot.com/p/how-to-checkoutpay.html

-Do you have longer necklace/different types?
Full silver necklaces (not individual charms) come standard with a choice of chains types/lengths. There will be a drop down menu upon checkout with choices listed. Your choice includes ball chains and cable chains in 16, 18, or 20".
If you would like a longer or shorter chain, please contact me for a custom listing- I have 24" ball chains for an extra $3.00 (in addition to the regular $15 necklace price, so $18.00 total). I also have 30" ball chains for an extra $5.50 (in addition to the regular $15 necklace price, so $20.50 total).
I usually also have round/smooth snake chains available in 16-20" upon request as well as 14" chains.
If you are interested in a totally different chain type, please contact me before ordering, to ensure I have the type/length in stock.
In gold, I usually carry cable chains and sometimes have rope chains.
-Can I substitute a crystal for a pearl or vice versa?
Yes, you may request this change for any piece in the message to seller area upon checkout- the price is the same. I personally like pearls more because the surface is smoother and will not rub against the silver as much. However, I am glad to make your necklace with either. Please note, I will use the crystal circle drops as shown here.
-Where can I add a pearl, crystal, necklace or additional charms?
On the left hand side of my storefront, there is an "Add pearl/crystal" section, as well as an "Add bracelet/necklaces" section. There you can find several add on choices in addition to the most common ones below. If you would like to add an additional charm, please convo me, and I will set up a custom listing☺
-Add Crystals/Pearls Here
-Add Necklaces/Bracelets Here
-Do you have any design stamps?
I currently have the following design stamps: ladybug, baby feet, remembrance ribbon, tree, moon, round swirl, cross, sign language hand with the I love you symbol, right handprint, snowflake, angel wings, angel wing/heart combo, and a few different types of hearts, stars, and flowers. You may view the designs at http://wearablewhispers.blogspot.com/p/design-stamps_21.html
-Where can I view your different fonts?
I have several different fonts available, and you may view them by clicking the "Fonts" tab at the top of this page.
Please note: some fonts only come in upper or lowercase, and I am unable make fonts bigger or smaller, as they are metal stamps, and each set only comes in one size. If no font is specified on an order, the one shown in the main listing picture will be used. If your not sure if a font you like will fit, just contact me, and I'll be glad to help.
-Can I add a gift note?
Sure, please type the note in the message to seller area upon checkout, and it will be included. Payment information will not be included with packages you designate as a gift.
***If your order is being shipped directly to another person, please put their address as the shipping address during Etsy checkout or list it in the message to seller area & let me know it's a gift so I will leave the payment info out. Thanks!
-Can I shower in my jewelry?
To extend the life of your jewelry, I recommend removing it before sleeping, swimming, and showering, as moisture and chemicals can speed up natural tarnishing. However, occasionally getting your jewelry wet should not hurt it- Just be sure to dry it off thoroughly. You will also receive a small polish pad sample with your order to clean pieces if needed.
-How do I clean my jewelry?
All sterling silver can naturally tarnish over time. Please use the enclosed sample polish pad to remove tarnish at the first sign of darkening. Storing your pieces in an airtight Ziploc bag and away from sunlight and moisture when not in use will prevent tarnish. Read more on jewelry care at:
-What type of silver do you use?
All the silver used in my jewelry is sterling silver.
-What type of gold do you use?
All the gold I use is yellow, 14K yellow gold filled, as the price of solid gold is very high and the looks are the same. The gold you see on the piece is 14K gold that has been bonded on both sides to a middle layer of base metal such as brass. Gold-filled pieces contain much more gold than plated jewelry, and you should not be able to tell the difference between gold filled and solid. Gold filled jewelry is more valuable and tarnish resistant than gold plated. It does not flake off, rub off, or turn colors. Please note, if you have severe metal allergies to brass, copper, or nickel, I would advise you to search for solid gold products, as gold filled does contain these metals. You may read more about gold-filled products here: http://www.ehow.com/facts_6017694_difference-between-gold_filled-gold_plated_.html


text: Ore. hunter says dog shot him in the leg http://www.king5.com/localnews/stories/NW_112308ORB_dog_shoots_hunter_SW.1dfce7e36.html 04:35 PM PST on Sunday, November 23, 2008 Associated Press PORTLAND, Ore. - A Tillamook man sustained a leg injury when his 12-gauge shotgun accidentally discharged during a duck-hunting trip on Tillamook Bay. The Oregon State Police says the man's dog is the prime suspect. Sgt. Todd Hoodenpyl says 23-year-old Matthew Markum and his younger brother were using an aluminum boat to go from land to their decoys Saturday morning. Markum's father says Matthew was standing in Tillamook Bay at the start of the trip when his dog jumped into the boat, setting off a 12-gauge shotgun. The blast blew a hole in the aluminum boat before hitting Matthew Marcum, who is recovering from injuries to his legs and buttocks at Portland's Legacy Emanuel Hospital. The elder Marcum said the Labrador named Drake is a good dog and the shooting is "just one of those things."

You remember that I was going to run out of yarn for my Monkey socks - and you may also remember that the 'flash' yarn I was using was three distinct strands in different colors - so while I was at 'Stuff Mart' the other day - I walked past the embroidery thread display and noticed the many many colors they have. Hmmmm I thought - I bet I can match my sock yarn with that. So I went out to the car and got a piece of yarn(I rarely go anywhere without my knitting bag) and chose three colors which I thought closely matched. The little skeins are about 9 yards each and I think I only need enough for about the last inch or so of sock.
and at 10¢ each - I will spend about 60¢ to finish my sock.
I have an old drop spindle and I plied the yarn - it's a pretty close match - but in natural light I can see that the blue is brighter and the olive is darker than the original - the lime is still a good match. I shouldn't have tried to match under 'stuff mart's' flourescent lights.
Stuff Mart = walmart - if you watch the Veggie Tales Madame Blueberry - that's the store she gets all her 'stuff' at - so we've called it that since the Man-Cub was little - very appropriate...

That is such a good idea for yarn substitution!
