Old Bank House is a delightful property in the rural Lakeland village of Cark-in-Cartmel. It is a charming and luxurious detached 6 bedroomed period house, with many original features and characteristics. Outside is a very attractive, enclosed garden with a sheltered area for barbequing covered in clematis and honeysuckle. Steps lead to a raised patio area with a stone seat.
The ground floor accommodation includes: entrance hall/lounge (we use it as a children's downstairs lounge as it has the TV and video in), breakfast room, brand new kitchen, pantry, toilet, lounge with an open fire and beautiful dining room with a flag stone floor, deep inglenook fireplace and windowseat. It also has one further room which leads to the garden. We use it as a cloakroom for coats and shoes and as a drying room for wet gear.
On the first floor there are four bedrooms and two bathrooms whilst on the second floor there are two further bedrooms one of which doubles as a large playroom
Some quotes from our Visitor's Book: 'Lovely house, excellent location.'
'The top garden is a fantastic suntrap.'
'Lots to see and do so great location.'
'Wonderful house. Amazing weekend. Definitely come back.'
'Great house and location to build happy holiday memories.'
'Dining room just made for long conversations after dinner.'
'Surrounding area is amazing with every type of pastime there to enjoy. We'll be back!'
We had a fantastic weekend. The weather was spectacular and the house was brilliant; it felt like a home from home! We have many friends who visit the Lake District regularly and we will be recommending your property to them. I will also post reviews for the house online. We had such a good time we are already planning to return. So hopefully we will be in touch in the near future!
Many thanks for making such a fabulous house available for people to escape from normality and immerse themselves in beautiful surroundings.
Super place made better by super weather
The owner was immensely helpful and very quick in responding to requests. At first sight the interior of the property looks rather run down but further inspection revealed, though a little worn in places, it was extremely clean and largely comfortable. The items that made it less than perfect included:
The fact that the two bathrooms (shower and bath with shower) couldn't be used at the
same time because of water pressure problems. We were only 7 in number but it caused us
problems and it would obviously have been a greater problem had we been more.
The main 'lounge area' is quite small for the number of people who might be resident and
want to congregate together. The sofa and arm chair were extremely comfortable but the
other chairs didn't really offer the came ease, especially for slouching young people!.
The main dining room is very dark and uninviting and we didn't use it. We just about
managed to fit around the kitchen table which was fine but again there might be problems
when the numbers are more.
The twin beds in the top rooms didn't match the comfort of those on the first floor. Two of
our group used quilts from the spare rooms to cover what they felt were the feel of springs
coming through the mattresses.
We were slightly worried about references in the visitors book to badly repaired electrics
and indeed we were met with an iron displaying a faulty inspection sticker. The iron was
replaced immediately when the owner was notified so we have nothing to complain about
but it probably shouldn't have been there in the first place.
The yard, which appears to have unrestricted access onto the street could do with a clean
up and we had to clean out the barbecue grills before using them.
Having said all this, the property is well stocked with all the necessities including a great DVD library. It is a few steps away from two pubs/restaurants, a well equipped village shop and an artisan bakery that produces great bread etc. It was fine for us for a long weekend but I think probably a longer stay might have brought greater frustration with the deficiencies.
This house had everything we needed and with lots of space. The village amenities are great for such a small place and its only a little way south of the Lake District national park so its not ridiculously expensive and the roads aren't full of tourists.
Helen was a great help to us and gave us all the information we needed. I can't recommend this house highly enough. If you do go for hill walks and get drenched there's a great drying room facility in this house and for 10 people it worked very well. I will be coming back here again!
We spent a lovely weekend with friends at Old Bank House.
The local services were great, with a pub, shop and bakery all within 100 yards
Easy access to the central Lakes, with Bowness on Windermere only a 20 minute drive.
We would thoroughly recommend the house to anyone.
We were looking for basic accommodation at a reasonable price in which we could entertain a larger than average number of people. This fitted the bill perfectly in a very beautiful and convenient location.
We were very fortunate to find this house available for a 5 night break just before Easter, allowing our extended family to holiday together with plenty of bedrooms, bathrooms, and space for eating and relaxing. The kitchen was well-equipped and we managed to cook a roast dinner for 10 on our first evening, without getting in each others' way! A big benefit was the large dining room, where we could all sit round the same table to eat, as well as a separate breakfast area adjoining the kitchen.
The house was very comfortable, however, as a previous reviewer noted, there are various steps around the house, which could be disconcerting for young children or older family members, but you soon get to know they are there, and just take care!
We found it was in a good location - the village of Cark is quite small, but there are various walks around the area - we did pass the Sticky Toffee Pudding shop and factory, but were strong-willed enough not to venture in and buy any!
It's also not too difficult to get out and about to the Southern Lakes (we visited both Windermere and Coniston Water), as well as around the bay to Morecambe to visit a relative.
Once back in the house, there was plenty to do - TVs in several rooms, snooker, table football and ping pong, as well as a large supply of books, games and DVDs - the owners have thought of everything, and were very helpful in communications prior to our visit. The wifi provides good coverage in the house, but we did struggle with our mobile phone signal - found the best location was in the upstairs bedrooms.
The log fires looked welcoming, but we didn't go to the effort of lighting them - found that the central heating was more than enough.
We'd love to go back again another time, possibly in slightly warmer weather when we could make more use of the outside space.
Old Bank House is set in the welcoming, unspoilt village of Cark in Cartmel on the Cartmel peninsula, an area famous for its rugged unspoilt coastal countryside, abundant wildlife and glorious racecourse. It is situated quarter of a mile from Holker Hall, and just a few miles from Windermere, Sizergh Castle, Levens Hall, Coniston Water and the delights of the Lake District National Park. There are many beautiful footpaths and bridleways for walking and riding and indeed the Cumbrian Coastal Way passes through the village.
The village boasts two pubs, both of which provide good food and beer, a post office, a convenience store and a station which serves many easy day trip destinations along the picturesque coast. The 12th Century village of Cartmel, lies just over a mile away and boasts an additional four pubs, one of the country's best gastro restaurants and ancient cobbled streets.
For wildlife enthusiasts, nearby Morecambe Bay is a popular destination for birdwatchers.

This is some feel good music right here. Don't know about you, but it's just what I need right now. Jon Cleary is so damn good, looking forward to seeing him live sometime.
I first learned of Jon Cleary from his playing on the fantastic Taj Mahal record Senor Blues. He brought out a live record with this band here recently, Mo Hippa, it's a really good time. Jon Cleary also lends his piano mastery to the new John Scofield gospel record Piety Street.
This is a broadcast of his show that was on BBC with some interview questions. The entire show was not broadcast.

Rape has been a major physical and emotional weapon that armed forces and rebels of all brands, especially the Lord's Resistance Army (LR) terrorist group, have used for year in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. For almost 2 years aid groups and international watch dog agencies. Despite the attention, women continue to be wrested from their families and lead away for continual rape. For some the ordeal lasts months.
Reports from varied agencies attest to more than 150 women were raped during a two-day attack on South Kivu province this month.
Some politicians such as, member of the provincial parliament Jean Marie Ngoma, place the blamed for the attacks on former Pareco rebels who were recently integrated into the DRC armed forces. Almost all of them recently deserted.
A United Nations observer has dubbed the DRC "the rape capital of the world." U.N. officials contend that the terrible humanitarian situation is completely out of control because soldiers, rebel fighters, and civilians can rape women and children without fear of arrest.
In a statement issued last week, the Secretary-General's Special Representative on Sexual Violence in Conflict, Margot Wallström, said the atrocities demonstrated "a continuing pattern of ill-discipline on the part of those who bear arms, manifest in acts of pillage committed in conjunction with rape and other human rights abuses."

After hearing of the success "Borax" Smith was having mining borax in Death Valley John Searles returned Borax flats, a place he had passed through while searching for gold. This time he and his partners filed five claims for minerals on the dry lake that would eventually be named after him. The San Bernardino Borax Mining Co. was formed by John Searles and his partners and it patented even more claims on Searles Lake in 1882.

Both Hearst and Haggin were involved in gold mines in Deadwood City, South Dakota. So what were the doing is Searles Valley? They were mining in the Slate Range.
With the discovery of gold near the mouth of New York Canyon, men returned to the mines in the 1870s. George Hearst and associates worked the Lone View and the San Francisco mines in the 1870s and 1880s, and the ore was milled at the Slate Range Millsite, perhaps on the site of the first mill, located between Layton Canyon and New York Canyon. The Copper Queen Mine, later known as the Gold Bottom Mine, is located northwest of Copper Queen Canyon. Located in the 1880s, this mine produced about a million dollars worth of silver-lead ore before it shut down in 1943. Before World War II a twenty-five ton flotation mill was erected west of the mine.

I believe DL Reese is David Levy Reese, occupation miner, who registered to vote in Kern County in 1867 at age 24. He is quoted in California Journal of Mines and Geology, Volume 8 published about 1888. In the journal he is describing the Joe Walker Gold Mine near Kernville. I have been unable to find any other information about DL Reese.
George Hearst was a miner that struck it rich. He went on to become a senator for the state of California. Hearst became the owner of the San Francisco Examiner as payment for a gambling debt. This was the beginning of the Hearst Publish Empire.
J. B. Haggin's story can be found in The Successful American, Volume 1, Part 1 – Volume 2, Part 1. He is described as the Copper King and the best known horseman in America.

Takings, litigation, and just compensation
A constitutional right to just compensation for governmental takings implies a right to a judicial review of the adequacy of the compensation. Thus, a property owner, subjected to a takings action, can threaten to litigate if he considers compensation insufficient. This paper uses a theoretic settlement-litigation analysis to demonstrate how the litigation threat influences the size of the compensation. In addition, it revises the theoretical explanation for earlier empirical findings that certain classes of property owners often receive more than market value for their property. It is also shown that the just compensation mechanism cannot guarantee efficient takings. Extending the basic model to regulatory takings, this paper demonstrates that recent changes in the judicial doctrine of when a regulation has gone too far and demands compensation has strengthened the litigation threat of property owners. It explains why political decisionmakers are moving toward settlements with terms which are increasingly defined by legislation. Copyright International Atlantic Economic Society 1998

I have explained to her to demo as many units as she can and then compare to make her mind up. She had a john deere front mount dropped off and we all began to test it, but due to roughness you get beat half to death in the matter of minutes. She is planning to go with a 60" deck due to cost of a 72". Does anyone have any sugestions as to what will suit this situation best for comfort!!! She is currently mowing with a larger john deere utility mower with a 60" belly mower.

10 Awesome Crafty Washi Tape Ideas You Need To Steal Right Now!
I am a huge fan of all things washi tape related!
It's excellent for use in journaling and in your planner (love it!).
It has so many uses which is the reason why I'm sharing all of these fabulous images with you today.
Check out my favourite Washi Tapes via my Etsy Pages.
Adorable Little Plant Flags
This type of tape is perfect for making little plant flags!
Just be sure to use a permanent marker or a biro as the ink can come right off from a regular rollerball ink pen.

2. Block Lovely clothes pegs
I love those colour block pegs; I might have to steal that idea.
Related: Some of the best washi tape stores on Etsy.
3. Paperclip flags
Aren't these paperclip flags a rather genius idea?
I'm going to be using this; they would be perfect for using on my blog notebook and my planner. Currently, I just make little tabs by folding the tape over on itself.
It works fine!
4. A customized mouse mat
This mouse mat looks great! I need a mouse mat, but I'm not sure how well it would glide across the surface of washi. My mouse seems to like fabric covered notebooks and hates magazines; a little rough texture seems to be the best.
You can find blank mouse mats pretty cheaply on eBay.
5. Planner stickers
And of course decorating your planner! Don't just use tape strips, cut out and use geometric shapes!

6. Envelope decorations!
This little bunting washi tape is just adorable!
I would love to receive a birthday card in the mail with this decorated envelope!
I would have to store it in a binder; way too good to recycle!
This is a multiple roll washi tape…. roller?!
You can make smaller rolls from the big rolls.
If, for example, you wanted to sell 5 meters of the stuff, or send it to a friend.
7. Birthday Cards
Make your own banner from different patterned tape and add a little illustration for a fabulous birthday card.
I like this dispenser a lot!
I also like it being on the wall, although I'm not sure how functional that is!
I usually carry my washi tape in a cosmetics case that I use as a giant pencil case and I can carry it around with me.
There is that roller utensil in action, with a little more rolled off the larger rolls.
8. Page footers in your notebooks
I like this washi tape, but I can't fully see what it is, do you think i's to create a rough-looking painted texture?
9. Washi tape coasters!
Or even a little card.
10. Photo decorations!
I've never known what you could do with washi tape like the bird washi tape shown above.
Time for the Recap!
- Make cute little plant flags
- Block Colour Clothes Pegs
- Paperclip Flags
- A Customised mouse mat
- Planner Stickers
- Envelope Decorations
- Cute customised cards
- Make pretty page footers in your notebooks
- Pretty little paper coasters

RISMEDIA, November 18, 2009 - Aided by the home buyer tax credit, the outlook for housing and the economy appears headed for a sustainable recovery, according to the National Association of Realtors. (NAR)
Lawrence Yun, NAR chief economist, said the projections are enhanced by a tax credit expansion to more home buyers through the middle of 2010. "Given the success of the first-time buyer tax credit to date, and the need for qualified buyers to absorb inventory that will include additional foreclosures over the coming year, we are hopeful about the impact of the expanded tax credit because it will stablilize home prices," he said. "In fact, the credit is working better than first projected - it now looks like we'll have 2.3 to 2.4 million first-time buyers this year."
The 2009 NAR Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers, shows first-time buyers accounted for a record 47% share of home sales over the past year, up from 41% in the 2008 survey. The share has risen steadily since a cyclical low of 36% in 2006.
Existing home sales are expected to total 5.01 million in 2009, a gain of 2.0% over last year, and then are forecast to rise 13.6% to 5.69 million in 2010. "A steady draw down of inventorywill help home values to turn positive in 2010, but risks such as unemployment remain in the economy," Yun said.
New home sales are projected at 397,000 this year, recovering to 549,000 in 2010. Housing starts, including multifamily units, should total 564,000 units this year but grown to 752,000 in 2010.
"We've seen a steady downtrend in housing inventory for well over a year and home prices appear to be in the early stages of stabilizing. With the expansion of the tax credit to additional buyers through the middle of next year, and no major unforeseen events impacting the economy, home prices should rise between 3 and 5% in 2010, but with wide geographic differences," Yun said. He expects growth in the U.S. gross domestic product to be at a pace of 2.5% in the current quarter, with GDP up 2.8% in 2010.


text: This kid. I can't take it anymore. This is the 8 year old. I buy these packs of puddings, sugar free -thank God. I tell her in advance that she can have one a day, that's it. I was very explicit about it, and I always ask her to repeat it back to me. Usually when I do this I get a yeah yeah...I heard you. She claimed to understand. Yesterday, she eats 3 and gives one to the neighbor boy. She's very adept at slinking about the house and getting in and out of the fridge without a sound. I've repeatedly told her. We're on a fixed income. Please don't give our snacks out to the neighborhood kids, especially one who comes from a family with 8 children. I think it's great that other people want to feed everyone else's kids. If I were rich, I'd be all for it. I tell her this over and over and yet when I go to check on them, I find a litter of snack wrappers that all came from our kitchen. No one asked permission for those snacks. I repeatedly tell her that wrappers go in the trash and not on the ground. Every time I tell her this, she acts like it's news. One day I gave her a bag and made her pick up litter from our entire neighborhood. I thought this would cure her of her littering. But alas, she draws no connection between these events. She had pudding all over her face and shirt and when I asked her how many she ate "I don't know." It took me 10 minutes to get the truth out of her, which only happened after I presented her with the empty pudding cups and explained to her that I could count. Her sister, who also ate two and not one, fessed up immediately and apologized. I think what's most insulting is that she acts like she has no idea what I'm talking about. I am an excellent communicator and speak very clearly. I will even re-explain something using metaphors that children will more easily comprehend. All of this is lost on her. She asks for another chance over and over, like I'm being unfair to have any expectations of her and I haven't given her any chances. She's had about 5000. Then she kicks and screams as I try to drag her into the shower to wash off said pudding. She slams my bathroom door and locks me out. I live in constant fear that someone's fingers are going to be severed, what with all the slamming. I unlock it, fortunately. But then she slams and breaks the door to my shower. Seriously, she's on a mission to destroy everything I own. Then, this morning at 7am I wake up to find her sneaking out of my office -which she has to go THROUGH my bedroom and past my bed to get to. She has a handful of Reese's Pieces that she took out of my desk. I don't even know how she found them or what the hell she was doing in my desk. She's not supposed to even come in my room. Then she looks at me all dumbly like she has NO idea why I'm upset. She actually says that if I woke up earlier, I could have prevented this. Then, just now, I needed to go to the store. She begged me for fried chicken. It comes ready made in the deli. I hate to cook, so I was game, and she ate it the last time I bought it. I got one box and when we got home, I gave her a piece, just like she asked. When I wasn't looking she went and got the seasoned salt from the cupboard -no idea why, since the chicken has plenty of flavor and because she's not even allowed to touch the stuff in that cupboard. She's notorious for wasting food, so I told her she'd be expected to eat the whole piece of chicken before 1pm, or she wouldn't be able to go to our neighborhood's VBS. That gave her 2.5 hours. A few minutes later, she tells me she's "done" with the chicken, which she apparently dumped way too much seasoned salt on, and hid in the kitchen trash under some other trash. Not a bite had been taken from it. I told her she would not be going to VBS. Not sure why I'm sending her anyway, since they don't seem to be covering the basics like thou shalt not steal, lie etc. Why do I even bother. I should just give her my wallet and car keys and stay in bed all day.

Afternoon Story
by John Brydon
As a child,
for a special treat,
my father would show us his arm.
A portly, ageing man,
he would start the story
while slowly rolling up his left shirt sleeve
until, on the soft, pink skin
we could see the deep scar
of a human bite.
A wartime street skirmish
with a German soldier
who was in the wrong cellar at the wrong time.
A cornered enemy with no chance,
who fell back on animal instinct
and desperate attack.
Tea time usually brought the story to an end.
Dad would slowly roll down his sleeve,
leaving my final question, as always,

Ionizing radiation
Occupational Diseases / / August 12, 2017
Ionizing radiation is a special kind of radiant energy, exciting in the irradiated medium ionization.Sources of ionizing radiation are X-ray tubes, high-power, high-voltage and accelerators, but mostly radioactive substances - natural (uranium, thorium, radium) and artificial (isotopes).
Radioactivity - spontaneous process of disintegration of atomic nuclei, which occur as a result of radiation - electromagnetic and corpuscular.
main activities associated with sources of ionizing radiation: gamma testing of metals and products, working on X-ray machines in hospitals and in technical laboratories, the use of isotopes for the control of production processes, operation of industrial and scientific high-power high-voltage and accelerator facilities, the use ofnuclear reactors, the use of radioactive substances and radiation in hospitals for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, mining of radioactive ores.
When working with radioactive substances, in addition to external radiation, may take place penetrati
Radioactivity trapped in the body carried by the blood to various tissues and organs, becoming in the last source of internal exposure.The rate of removal of radioactive substances from the body is different;quickly identify readily soluble substances.Long-lived isotopes are particularly dangerous since, once in the body, they may be affected during the entire life of a source of ionizing radiation.
radiation Types
the decay of radioactive nuclei emit radiation 4 types: A, B-, gamma rays and neutrons.
and rays - a stream of positively charged particles having large mass (nuclei of helium atoms).External radiation and particles little dangerous, as they penetrate the tissue deep, absorbed by the stratum corneum of the skin epithelium.Hit and emitters inside the body is very dangerous, because there is a direct exposure of the cells of high power energy.
B-rays - a stream of particles with a negative charge (electrons).B-rays are more penetrating than alpha rays, their run in the air, depending on the energy range from fractions of a centimeter to 10-15 meters, the water in the tissues -. From a fraction of a millimeter to 1 cm
U-rays area high frequency electromagnetic radiation.The properties are similar to X-rays, but have a shorter wavelength.
energy gamma-rays varies widely.Depending on the energy of gamma rays are divided into soft (0.1-0.2 MeV), medium stringency (0.2-1 MeV), hard (1.10 MeV) and superrigid (above 10 MeV).
This type of radiation is the most penetrating and most dangerous case of external irradiation.
Neutrons - particles with no charge.They have great penetrating power.Under the influence of neutron irradiation elements that make up the tissues (such as phosphorus, etc..), May be radioactive.
Biological effects
Ionizing radiation is complex functional and morphological changes in tissues and organs.Under its influence the water molecules, which is part of the tissues and organs decompose to form free radicals and atoms, which have a high oxidative capacity.water radiolysis products operate on active sulfhydryl groups (SH) protein structures and convert them into inactive - bisulfide.As a result of impaired activity of various enzymatic systems in charge of synthetic processes, there is suppression and distortion of the past.Ionizing radiation also acts directly on molecules of proteins and lipids, providing a denaturing effect.Ionizing radiation can cause in the body of the local (burns) and the general (radiation sickness) defeat.
maximum permissible dose
maximum permissible dose (PDD) for the whole body irradiation (direct work with sources of ionizing radiation) is set to 0.05 J / kg (5 rems) in a single year.In exceptional cases for obtaining a quarter dose of 0.03 J / kg or 3 rem (while maintaining the total radiation dose for at 0.05 J / kg, or 5 rem).Such an increase in the dose is not allowed for women under the age of 30 years (for them the maximum dose during the quarter 0,013 J / kg, or 1.3 rem).

Mobile Application Industry Opening Doors for Employment of Canadians
Reports suggest that the mobile software and application development companies in Canada are opening its doors for employing several Canadians. At least 51,000 Canadians have been reported to be employed till date, with the applications developing companies, throughout Canada. Nearly 47 percent of the mobile application development jobs are centered around Ontario of Canada.
The mobile application development companies of Canada have hugely contributed to the surging revenue earning of the country, and are hence doing a great job in terms of both employing youths and contributing to the national economy. Yet the demand of these applications is increasing day by day, thereby paving a way to more recruitments in the coming days.
The revenue is also decided through the cost of these apps that are being developed by the Canadian firms. It is also being said that the most advanced apps are built for the Apple's iPhone and iPads, which are in great demand. With the increase in the supply of Smartphones throughout the world, the demand of advanced and a great variety of mobile apps are also taking place. Even there is a huge demand of the advanced mobile applications in the home market of Canada itself that has pushed the companies to venture out into this business, thereby creating many employment opportunities for the Canadian citizens.
Yet, it is reported that in comparison to the other industries in Canada, the growth of the mobile sector is very small. However, the growing market of mobile apps is definitely showing a positive signal for the future.

Texas Receives $38,000 Grant for Youth Hunting Program
AUSTIN, Texas — The National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) has awarded the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department a $38,000 grant from its Hunting Heritage Partnership for funding the Texas Youth Hunting Program.
Announcement of the grant award was made at the recent International Association of State Fish and Wildlife Agencies meeting. Eighteen state agencies received more than $500,000 in grant awards from NSSF.
Texas will use the funds to expand its youth hunting program offering special three-day hunts to an additional 250 youth and retain these new hunters with hunts offered in the later years. The program will also recruit and retain adult hunters participating in the program as either parents or volunteers.
"Our programs allow us to continue to preserve our hunting heritage in the state of Texas. We provide new hunters with the hunt of a lifetime, teaching them safety and ethics at no cost to them," said Mike Berger, Wildlife Division director for TPWD. "To ensure that we have hunting in Texas for the foreseeable future, we must reach out to young people."
The Hunting Heritage Partnership was established by the NSSF, the trade association for the firearm industry, to provide much needed direct funding to state wildlife agencies to help them with programs that provide opportunities for, and remove barriers to, hunter participation.
"Officials with TPWD have designed a unique and dynamic recruitment tool and this grant recognizes their successful efforts and helps build on them. This is exactly the kind of creative approach that agencies in other states can look to as a model to help preserve our hunting and conservation traditions," said Doug Painter, president of the NSSF.
The Lone Star State's 2.4 million anglers and 1.2 million hunters spent $4.1 billion in Texas last year in pursuit of their pastimes, which supported 73,000 jobs in the state, according to the most recent census survey conducted by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Efforts to expand hunting, such as the Texas Youth Hunting Program, help boost the economy in a state where almost one of every seven Texas residents hunt or fish, generating $218 million in state tax revenue.
The Texas Youth Hunting Program was established by a cooperative effort of between the Texas Wildlife Association and TPWD to promote the hunting heritage in Texas. Young people ages 9-17 are eligible. For more information about the Texas Youth Hunting Program, call (210) 260-5588 or toll-free at (800) 460-5494. Applications and additional information is also available online at (http://www.texas-wildlife.org/tyhp/). The program also is seeking volunteer adult mentors and landowners who will allow hunting on their property. Insurance coverage for participating landowners is provided, said Jerry Warden, Texas Youth Hunting Program coordinator.

Disclaimer: Against my wish, Stargate SG-1 and its characters are not mine.
Jack O'Neill was one tired Colonel.
He couldn't sleep very well for the last few days. Every time he closed his eyes, an image started to take shape inside his mind. Haunting him, taunting him, mocking him, pulling him away from the sleep that he very much needed. Carter and Jonas probably could survive with very little sleep on their part, while Teal'c probably didn't need it at all. Well, not too bad anyway. But he wasn't getting any younger.
He needed a good night's sleep and he wasn't getting any of that these days. And the worst thing was that he *knew* all along what had caused it but was reluctant to do anything about it. There was nothing wrong with indulging himself once in a while, right? But that 'little' indulgence was getting dangerous now, and was starting to have an effect on his health (lack of sleep = decreased stamina) and judgment (lack of sleep = cranky Colonel).
He had to end it now.
But oh how he wished that he didn't have to. He was already addicted to it. Sometimes he couldn't wait until it was night time so that he could surrender to that sweet torment. And he loathed it when the sun was rising, when it meant that the night was over and so was the welcomed torture.
"Sir, are you okay?" one worried Major asked.
"Huh?" he lifted his head that was supported by his hand, his elbow was propped on his desk. The Major had just entered his office, closely followed by Teal'c and Jonas. SG-1 was scheduled to have their monthly team meeting about now.
"O'Neill, are you feeling unwell?" one concerned Jaffa voiced his ... 'concern'. He blinked at them, he didn't remember hearing them knocking at his door or him answering 'come in'. He must have been more exhausted than he had first thought.
"Colonel, you don't look so well. You should go and see Doctor Fraiser," one Kelownan added.
He looked at the three of them, his red-ish eyes (courtesy of not enough rest) opened slightly, "I'm alright."
Carter, as always, didn't believe it, "With all due respect Sir, you don't look alright." He smiled at the gentle scolding tone that she was using. He knew that she was going to be a great mother in the future, with at least half a dozen kids with blonde hair and brown eyes, smart as their mother and witty as their fath -- ehm, his brain went for a random walk for a while there.
"I must concur with Major Carter's assessment. You do not look 'alright'," Teal'c, as wise as a man of his age could be, agreed with her.
Before Jonas could add anything, he decided to tell them the truth, it was not like he wasn't going to tell them. He just liked to stall the conversation a bit before actually answering any questions, "I haven't had enough sleep lately."
"Bad dreams?" Carter stepped closer and stood right at the edge of his desk, she put her hands on the table and leaned forward, clearly concerned about him.
"Uh ..." like hell it was a bad dream. The truth was, it was an extremely and utterly 'pleasurable' dream, "kind of," but he would tell her that over his dead body ... or his resignation, whichever came first. Or maybe just to her, with no former Apophis' First Prime, no alien with a strange obsession for Earth's food and no security camera around. If it was just the two of them, he *might* have told her.
"You must conquer your demon, O'Neill," Teal'c said, "before it destroys you."
He didn't mind being destroyed, really. Not by this demon.
"I will," he answered somewhat reluctantly. "I will," he said it once again with resignation in his voice. He slumped back into his chair, defeated by his friend's words.
"I guess the meeting is off then," Jonas chipped in.
"No, no. Let's do it now," he insisted. He didn't want to let his team down, he knew that a certain Major was very busy right now with various Naquadria projects (joint ventures with the folks at Area 51) and had to make an extra effort to spare her time to do this meeting.
"Are you sure, Sir?"
"Yes. Let's start."
He'd been standing there for a considerable amount of time. In front of his own door, still inside his house (it was cold outside), holding a shopping bag. Thinking, considering, contemplating ... rethinking, reconsidering, re-contemplating ... rethinking for the second time, reconsidering for the second time, re-contemp – for crying out loud, he really had to make a decision.
And stick to it.
He sighed. He had to do it, but he didn't want to. Finally, he made a deal with himself. One more night and that was it. One last night and he was going to end it. Yes, one last time, one last chance, one last glance and one last forbidden dream.
He turned around and left the poor door alone.
It always started so innocently. The object of his affection was buried under a thick blanket ... at first. And then movement. A small movement and one of her hands snuck out from under the cover. Another movement and her arm, her bare and smooth and white arm soon followed.
He clenched his fists.
She rolled to her side, the blanket following her movement. A flash of blonde hair stuck out and her uncovered and silky neck and shoulder were making an appearance.
His muscles tensed to prevent them from making a move.
She appeared to feel slightly warm under the blanket, her legs made a rapid movement and kicked the offending material away.
He took a deep breath.
There, in front of his own eyes was his sleeping Major. *His Major*. Wearing sweat pants (Damn!) and a tank top (That's more like it), lying on her side. The hem of the tank top was slightly ridden down, flashing him some flesh.
There was nothing more that he wanted to do than run his fingers there.
She rolled again to her back.
And that was when he knew that he was fighting a losing battle.
He could see her chest rising up and down in rhyme with the slow breaths that she took. The thin material of her chosen sleeping cloth didn't do justice in hiding the shape of some parts of her anatomy that he wasn't willing to share with anyone.
He ravished her with his greedy eyes. Did he mention that he loved every part of her body, including her feet that looked more incredible than any other feet that he had ever seen in his life?
Suddenly, her hands flung to her neck, scratching an itchy spot there.
Jack O'Neill had never seen anything sexier than his 2IC scratching her neck in her sleep (it helped that she was only wearing a skimpy top and her cleavage was making a movement as she did that as well). And when she sighed so softly as her hand kept rubbing her fair skin, he was sold. With 99.99% discount on the price tag.
He made a move towards her.
His eyes opened against his wishes.
The dream had always stopped there, when things could get really interesting. But in a way, he was grateful. Because he didn't think that he could look her straight in the face everyday if things *did* get really interesting. No, no. He would definitely type his resignation letter, sign it, and deliver it to Hammond's office in record time.
Now, that was a thought.
Without glancing at the clock, he knew what the time was. 03:28 am. As always.
He had never been able to sleep again after that, instead he lay there in the dark on his bed and memorized all the details of the picture that his dream had beautifully painted for him.
He had been having this dream since he accidentally eavesdropped on her conversation with Janet in the infirmary. He was injured off-world and kept in the infirmary. He was sleeping when suddenly he could hear the Major and the Doctor were chatting nearby. He was planning to make them aware that he was awake when --
" ... left your tank top at my house," that was the Doc's voice.
"Thanks Janet, I was wondering where I lost it. This is one of my favorites," Carter's.
"You have a favorite tank top to sleep in?" there was amusement in her voice.
"Anything wrong with that?"
"No," a pause, "oh well, it's kinda fitting, you are quite active in bed, aren't you?"
"JANET," Carter was shocked, so was he to be honest.
The good 'ol Doctor Fraiser laughed, "You must admit Sam, you can't sleep still. Cassie still has a black eye from your last sleepover."
"I didn't mean it. It was not like I had control over my body when I was sleeping," the reply delivered sheepishly.
"What about when you're off-world?"
"The sleeping bag limits my movement."
He couldn't care less about the rest of the conversation; it had put images inside his head. Those images cut him from the cruel real world and sent him to his own fantasy world, where he would happily spend the rest of his life.
That fateful day had changed his life forever.
"For you."
Major Samantha Carter averted her eyes from the report that had just arrived in her lab that morning to a plain white shopping bag that had just landed on her desk.
"For me, Sir?" she couldn't help but ask. It was not often, well, actually, her CO had *never* given her something out of the blue like this. Today was not her birthday, not Christmas Day and not even Valentine's Day (hey, a girl could dream, couldn't she?). Today was just an ordinary day.
"Yeah, for you," he was standing in front of her nervously, his hands were stuffed inside his pockets.
"Wow," she didn't know what to say, "thanks." She gave him a smile while wondering what was inside the bag.
"Uhm, I see that you have a lot of work to get done, so I'll leave you to it," he excused himself and made a hasty exit before she could say another word.
Her eyebrows drew closer together. He didn't want to be around when she saw what his gift was, so there were two plausible explanations that she could think of. One, the gift was a prank. Two, the gift was something personal. Judging by his reaction when he entered her lab, the second one was more likely than the first.
She took the bag and looked down to see what was inside it. It was a material with the color of the sky and looked very expensive. She took it out and appreciated the smoothness of the fabric. She started to unfold it and almost burst out laughing when she realized what it was.
Colonel Jack O'Neill had just given his second-in-command blue satin pajamas.
He was back. The object of his affection was buried under a thick blanket ... as usual. And then movement. A small movement and one of her hands snuck out from under the cover. He could see the PJ's sleeves and it covered her arms.
He smiled at the sight.
She rolled to her side, the blanket following her movement. A flash of blonde hair stuck out and her neck and shoulder were making an appearance, hidden under the blue satin.
His smile was getting wider.
She appeared to feel slightly warm under the blanket, her legs made a rapid movement and kicked the offending material away.
There, in front of his own eyes was his sleeping Major. *His Major*. Wearing the pajamas that he had bought especially for her (she looked so cute and cuddly in them), lying on her side. The hem of the blue top was slightly ridden down, flashing him some flesh.
Uh-oh, this looked vaguely familiar.
She rolled again to her back.
And that was when he acknowledged that the battle was not over yet.
He could see that she had left three or four top buttons undone, flashing him her chest, which was rising up and down in rhyme with the slow breaths that she took. The new material of her chosen sleeping cloth may of covered her body better than the old one, but he still could see the outline of her figure.
He was torn.
Her feet, which couldn't be covered by the new fabric, still looked more incredible than any other feet that he had ever seen in his life.
Suddenly, her hands flung to her neck, scratching an itchy spot there. Again.
Jack O'Neill had never seen anything sexier than his 2IC scratching her neck in her sleep (even with the long sleeved pajamas, he could see her cleavage moving as she did that). And when she sighed so softly as her hand kept rubbing her fair skin, wearing tank top or not, he was sold. Still with the 99.99% discount.
He made a move towards her.
Damn damn damn damn damn damn damn.
It wasn't working. His 'supposedly' brilliant solution wasn't working. His eyes opened against his wishes. A quick glance at his digital clock, the time showed 04:36 am. The new pajamas had given him an additional 52 minutes of sleep. But it wasn't enough for a man his age. He cried out in frustration.
The resigning letter looked like a very good prospect now.
The End

SEB LARSSON says Sunderland's players want to see more arrivals of Jack Rodwell's calibre before the end of the transfer window.
Rodwell made his Sunderland bow in last night's 2-0 victory over Real Betis after only training with his new team-mates for the first time 24 hours earlier, following his £10million move from Manchester City.
Larsson lined up alongside Rodwell in midfield for the opening 45 minutes before the England international was withdrawn and has no doubts over the impact the 23-year-old can make for Sunderland this season.
But despite this week's double signing of Rodwell and defender Santiago Vergini taking Sunderland's tally of fresh faces to six, Larsson is still hopeful that there will be further quality additions to the Black Cats squad.
Larsson said: "You want good players coming into the team.
"Jack's obviously a very good player and I'm sure there won't be any issues with him settling in among the lads and producing quality games.
"That's what we need. We need quality players if we want to improve and do better than what we have been doing recently.
"Everyone knows that we want quality players and he's one of them.
"Hopefully there'll be a few more to come in, we'll have to see.
"I don't think as players, you worry too much about that.
"I'm sure there's things going on behind the scenes, as at every club. But we probably know as much as anyone else!"
Late goals from Steven Fletcher and Connor Wickham secured victory for Sunderland in their penultimate friendly, with their pre-season programme concluding tomorrow against Serie A side Udinese.
And Larsson admits that he is now itching for the Premier League to get underway, with Sunderland beginning their campaign at West Brom in eight days time.
The 29-year-old added: "We're looking forward to the league starting now. We've done the heavy graft, running and everything you need to do in pre-season.
"It feels good once you've got it in the bank.
"Obviously friendlies are good, but at the same time, you're just waiting for it to kick off now and get those real games going.
"We're looking forward to it. The mood in the camp is very good and we can't wait to get started.
"We want a much better start to the season than we've had in recent years to see what we can do."

Watch as Cristiano Ronaldo scores a hat trick Portugal's World Cup qualifier vs. Andorra.
Welcome back to the Portugal national team, Cristiano Ronaldo.
In his first match with Portugal since leaving the Euro 2016 final with a knee injury, Ronaldo scored twice in the opening four minutes, added a third early in the second half and a fourth later on in a 6-0 World Cup qualifying win vs. Andorra.
Ronaldo tallied in the second minute, volleying home a parried save off a corner kick from the center of the box. Two minutes later, Ricardo Quaresma set him up for a flying header, which he buried from close range. At the start of the second half, Ronaldo expertly redirected a cross from the right, powerfully putting Portugal ahead 4-0 and completing his hat trick.
Ronaldo tacked on his fourth in the 68th minute, making a near-post run for a second header and finishing from close range with his left foot.
With 65 career international goals, Ronaldo passes Didier Drogba for 18th most on the all-time list. Gerd Muller, Robbie Keane and Carlos Ruiz are next in his sights. They each scored 68 goals in their illustrious careers.
Watch his latest four goals below:

The workshops – part of a continuing public dialogue – will focus on fish consumption rates and how they connect with sediment cleanup decisions under the state's Sediment Management Standards. Here's the workshop schedule:
* May 7 in Ellensburg – 8:30 a.m. to noon, Central Washington University, Student Union Ballroom. Directions: http://www.cwu.edu/~schedule/cms/index.php?page=contact-us
* May 8 in Tacoma- 8:30 a.m. to noon, University of Washington's Tacoma Campus, Keystone Building (Carwein Auditorium). Directions: http://www.tacoma.uw.edu/campus-map
* May 15 in Spokane Valley – 1 to 4:30 p.m., CenterPlace Regional Event Center. Directions: http://www.centerplacespokanevalley.com/contact.html
Washington has made significant progress to reduce toxic chemicals. It has dramatically reduced mercury pollution, and is phasing out persistent chemicals that build up in the food chain, such as flame retardants. Washington has taken steps to reduce and phase out the use of copper brake pads, lead wheel weights, copper boat paints and chemicals in children's products.
Since toxic chemicals are also found in fish and shellfish, Ecology is continuing to work on this problem by developing a more accurate view of how much fish and shellfish Washington residents eat.
Washington currently uses two rates: 6.5 grams per day incorporated into water quality standards, and 54 grams per day, which is the Model Toxics Control Act default value used in setting sediment and water cleanup standards. The current rates were developed in the 1980s and 1990s.
The best current science now indicates that the present fish consumption rates do not accurately reflect how much of the state's fish and shellfish Washingtonians actually eat. Some people consume a lot more fish and shellfish than the state's current rates reflect.

Why is The Hunger Games classified as a dystopian literature?
- print Print
- list Cite
Dystopian literature examines cultures which exist based upon their Utopian thoughts while using oppressive and controlling governments. Therefore, the novel The Hunger Games is a perfect example of a government working under Dystopian ideology.
The novel portrays a government, the Capitol (or District One), as the ultimately defining party responsible for the governing of the other districts. District One maintains control over the other districts in two ways.
First, District One holds the destruction of District Thirteen over the heads of the other districts. The other districts obey the Capital based upon the fear that the capitol will destroy them in the same way which they destroyed District Thirteen.
The second way District One maintains power over the other districts is the Games themselves. The games are representative of another way the Capitol can control the districts given the fear of murdering off the representative of each district.
District One reminds the other districts that without them the districts will not be able to survive. Each district has a specialization which the Capitol closely manages. The Utopian life the Capitol creates for the other districts is not noticed or recognized by anyone outside of the Capitol. The other districts are simply oppressed and controlled by fear.
Yes it is. Dystopian literature is a society that is dehumanizing and unpleasant which is exactly what the Hunger Games are. Year after year kids to adults are reaped from each District fighting until their last breath to become the victor and the only victor of the Hunger Games which is made into an entertainment for others.
It is a dystopia...

Apparently the author is no longer providing the support that we PAID for! The last time he posted here was one month ago. I sent a support request last week and never got a reply. It's a pity as it is otherwise a nice plugin. :o{
Does anyone have a list of shortcodes? The OP asked for one months ago and the author never responded. :o{
Unfortunately the author is unresponsive after acknowledging that the plugin does not have many features that you would read as being claimed to have in the comments section, as he has recently re-written the plugin from scratch, in his words.
I have a few questions before buying the plugin: - possible to create another role? - possible to associate levels with the wordpress role? - in the demo I did not manage to hide a widget following the level, how to do? - The forms adapts to all themes (button, input …) my theme is https://themeforest.net/item/vlog-video-blog-magazine-wordpress-theme/15968884?_ga=2.153080701.57349449.1507143484-929466218.1504985732
If this item is not supported, we should get it taken off the store.
Envato says they will be reviewing this item.
I have a business which runs summer camps for kids. The parents book these camps online through an event booking plugin (WooEvents) on my wordpress powered site. I would now like to expand the functionality of the site so that a parent can create sub-accounts for each of their children and then book camps for those children. They should also be able to view the full history of each child's attended camps from their user account page.
Is this functionality your plugin may have or is it customisable to allow for this?
Kind regards, Thomas
Highly agree that this plugin should be removed…it is defunct -incompatibly with standard plugins and most importantly DOESN'T DO WHAT IT'S MEANT TO DO. I had these problems over a year ago and sad to see others are buying it.
Came back to see this plugin bc it showed 50% reduction from the downloads section.
Question before purchase
Add a function for? rewrite: 404 erros Block wp-login.php – Block access to the file wp-login.php Block wp-admin – Block access to the wp-admin folder Block wp-activate.php – Block access to the file wp-activate.php Block wp-cron .php – Block access to wp-cron.php file Block wp-signup.php – Block the default wp-signup.php file
Thank you
Hi your plugin allow email notification translation with WPML? we want send in french & english e-mail to our new users ?
Be careful except the fact there is no support, even if my settings are ok now the plugin dont approve my users. I have to go into users section and approve the manually
Would you please be kind and help me with the following. I need to understand if your plugin will be a good fit for what I need or not.
- I have a website and I am the only Root (SuperAdmin) who can access /wp-admin (non of my other customers will access it)
- I will add an Admin and this Admin will have his normal Users.
- I will have multiple Admins and these Admins will have their own Users.
- Non of the Admins will be able to see content from other Admins
- The Users will see only the Users whom all share the same Admin and content.
- Admins will add their own users from frontend.
Is this possible to achieve this functionality ? I can buy multiple plugins if necessary…
Thank you very much.
Hi, I have installed the plugin and created the login form by email and password. But it is showing me "null" above the form after putting the email and password…Please help with this….
Can you help with solution please…..
Can you post a link with all demo template on real page and not the demo to the admin panel, thanks
Simple question. Does your form plugin allow to create a registration form with custom fields for which I can specify user meta? For instance, I use a real estate plugin. Users can save their address, phone & fax number. I want to allow the users to saved those information directly in the registration form. Then when they access to their profile page (managed by the real estate solution) they'll be able to see the information filled during registration. Thanks.
No more support to this plugin ! Don't buy it !

What did it take for Tampa to deal St. Louis? Getting a guy with 'snarl'
TAMPA, Fla. — After his initial stun had disappeared, Ryan Callahan was excited about his new home with the Tampa Bay Lightning.
"I think first initial emotions are a little bit of shock and surprise that I got traded there," Callahan said. "After that goes away, I start to get a bit of excitement knowing that I'm going to Tampa, which is a great organization and a good team that is in the playoff picture right now."
A whirlwind day that included the start of "a different era" for the Lightning, as Tampa Bay general manager Steve Yzerman called it, also saw the 28-year-old winger leave the New York Rangers — the only franchise he had played for in the NHL. Both Yzerman and Tampa Bay coach Jon Cooper were careful to call Callahan a different player than St. Louis, a staple for the Lightning the past 12-plus seasons.
Still, Tampa Bay has received an intriguing addition in a blockbuster deal that was finalized hours before the NHL's trade deadline.
Callahan, the Rangers' former captain, prides himself on his ability to finish checks, block shots and be an effective member of a penalty kill. He's a four-time winner of the Steven McDonald Extra Effort Award, a sign of his physicality and potential value for the Lightning.
"He fills a need for us," Yzerman said. "He's not replacing Marty St. Louis. He's a different type of player. He can play in all situations. He kills penalties. He's a great shot-blocker. He's probably most well-known for his penalty killing, his defensive ability and his shot-blocking ability. (He's) very good in front of the net on the power play."
Like St. Louis' move to New York, Callahan's transition to Tampa Bay will require adjustment. The native of Rochester, N.Y., has spent the past seven-plus years with the Rangers since being selected 127th overall in the 2004 NHL draft.
Tampa Bay Lightning news
Callahan has played in 450 career NHL games, earning 132 goals and 254 points. His career-best season came during the 2011-12 campaign, when he produced 54 points, 29 goals, 13 power-play goals and nine game-winning goals. He also won a silver medal as a member of the 2010 United States team at the Vancouver Games, which included current Lightning winger Ryan Malone.
This year, Callahan has played in 45 games, posting 25 points and 11 goals. He had a season-best five-game point streak from Oct. 11-Nov. 7, during which he had five goals and two assists.
Callahan understands his greatest challenge: Creating his own reputation in St. Louis' absence.
"I don't think you can let yourself feel that," Callahan said of possible pressure in following St. Louis. "It's no secret what Marty did for that organization, how great of a player he is. At the same time, I'm a different person, I'm a different player. All I can do is come in and try to bring what I can bring to the team in my own way."
Callahan's future had been in question for weeks. He's scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent July 1, and he was close to re-signing with the Rangers with the team reportedly offering a six-year, $36 million extension.
But the Rangers' desire to deal for St. Louis, who waived his no-trade clause, proved stronger. Yzerman said the Lightning have acquired Callahan "with the hopes of re-signing him."
For now, Callahan said he's only concerned with gaining comfort in his new home.
"That's the biggest thing for me right now is just to get in there and get comfortable with my surroundings and then once you do that, you can look at something like (re-signing)," he said.
On a day of change, the Lightning lost a face of their franchise in St. Louis. But as they move forward, Callahan's skill appeals to them.
"If there's one area that we needed to get better in, that was a little bit with a couple guys that play with a little bit of snarl," Cooper said. "And Ryan Callahan is going to bring us that."
