Handrails like these add safety and long-lasting value to the look of this beautifully landscaped area. True fabrication skills are required to hold the perfect angle, symmetrical look, and have the posts located in the center of the rocks. This project was fabricated on-site due to the requirements of how we core drilled into the rock wall. The mounting was core drilled versus mounting bolts and hardware.
When there is a need to hold a proper angle and the mounting locations are critical. Macy Industries is your best option! Not many shops in our area can pull these types of projects off. We leveraged our mobile fabrication shop to create stainless steel handrails at this location.
CORE Drilling is when we drill a large hole into the mounting location then fill with concrete. The advantages are:
- Clean look (no bolts to rust out and loosen up)
- Great for snow build-up
- Long-lasting in the New England area
- Incredibly strong and sturdy no wobbling
Thank you

Hi, I was wondering if you could help me with a small issue. I created a child theme of Ultra, and made some changes in template-tags.php. However, those changes are not visible. It only works if done to the parent theme. I have cache disabled. Thank you in advance.April 11, 2021 at 10:01 am #15594
Hi Sebastian
Thanks for reaching out.
Unless you're including/requiring the template-tags.php file in the child theme it won't be loaded. Try copying the entire function you're editing and insert that function into your child theme functions.php file.April 11, 2021 at 3:29 pm #15595
Yes, thank you. This works like a charm.
I cannot, however, get the sidebar widgets title tags right. Even tried to deregister and register my own sidebar with no effect. Any clues appreciated.April 12, 2021 at 10:20 am #15598
Glad to hear you're making progress. If you're trying to change the title tags you could check the following thread for a hand https://wordpress.org/support/topic/override-before_title-for-footer-widget/.April 12, 2021 at 4:19 pm #15601
Yes, I have tried that without any success.
Not sure if I do this right, so my code looks like this:
add_filter('ultra_widgets_init' , 'change_footer_title');
function change_footer_title() {
$widget_array = array(
'name' => esc_html__( 'Footer', 'ultra' ),
'id' => 'sidebar-2',
'before_widget' => '',
'after_widget' => '',
'before_title' => '
',
'after_title' => '
', );
return $widget_array;}
April 12, 2021 at 4:34 pm #15603
- This reply was modified 2 years, 7 months ago by Sebastian.
Ok, Actually found the solution by unregisterring sidebar-2 first.
Thank you for your assistance. Much appreciated. In case someone else needs it, here is the code:
add_action( 'widgets_init', 'parent_override',11 );
function parent_override() {
/** I have looked for the ID of the sidebar by looking at
* the source code in the admin.. and saw the widget's id="sidebar-4″
'name' => esc_html__( 'Footer', 'ultra' ),
'before_widget' => '',
'after_widget' => '',
'before_title' => '
',
'after_title' => '
',
}April 12, 2021 at 4:51 pm #15604
Super, glad to hear you're making progress. Thanks for the updates 🙂

We've Gone Around the Bend
Inn at Red Hills. Please check out the website as it was freakin' amazing. Our room had two king size Select Comfort beds and H2O Spa products in the bathroom. I love Select Comfort beds and H2O products are just my fav.
The inn has a wonderful restaurant called "From Farm to Fork" and I clearly spent the last two days eating like a goddess. The restaurant uses the sustainable food approach leveraging local products to create it's diverse menu. Krissy loved the tomato, pesto, mozzarella salad and last night I ordered their hamburger, which sounds quite ordinary, but seriously they took the burger to a whole new level. It had garlic aoili and white chedder cheese served on a sesame brioche bun. I hummed through the whole meal. It was paired with a lovely glass (or two) of Pinot Noir. Oregon Wine Country is known for their Pinots.
If you are ever looking for a romantic destination or girls week-end in Oregon, this is the place to go.

Sounds wonderful ... have fun girls! We're heading for MI wine country and hopefully Michigan's finest fall color :)ReplyDelete
Just a quick stop here this morning. I'll be back later with a longer, rambling comment. I always carry my rosary with me when traveling. It was my grandfather's and it's wooden. Enjoy!ReplyDelete
It sounds much more exciting than my Saturday, chauffering kids to homecoming games, dances, and playdates.ReplyDelete
I need a vacation. This sounds heavenly!
Glad you were safe.
So glad you had a chance to blog about your trip. I've been checking to see how it's going. It sounds terrific and I was salivating over the food descriptions (even the hamburger and you know I don't eat meat.) FYI: I put a crowbar in my wallet and bought a Nikon D3000 camera today. Oh joy!!! Have a great rest of your trip!ReplyDelete
Hope you girls are having fun! This Inn at Red Hills sounds like heaven!ReplyDelete
Sorry, Evan didn't log out of his google account and I came up as Mobility. It's me, I promise!ReplyDelete
Okay, I'm back and just did the tour of the Inn at Red Hills and now I'm convinced that I'm missing out on romantic destinations. On our little trip last weekend, we stayed at the Settle Inn. See what I mean?ReplyDelete

--so wonders Sergeant Lewis in at one point in Service for All the Dead (1979)
The British crime writer Colin Dexter (1930) will always have my gratitude for having introduced to the world Inspector Morse and Sergeant Lewis, so memorably portrayed by the late John Thaw and by Keven Whately in what remains the best British mystery series I have seen: Inspector Morse (1987-2000).
The series softened some of book Morse's less appealing edges, creating a character with whom some viewers literally fell in love. As written Morse seems so much the prototype of the modern fictional police detective. He is not the placid, contented, happily married police detective one finds in the Golden Age mysteries of Freeman Wills Crofts, but a contemplative, sometimes morose, loner, a crosswords and music lover. An impulsive and intuitive romantic, he loves the ladies, but seems destined always to be disappointed in love. This complex and sometimes neurotic character is brilliantly balanced by Morse's Everyman Watson, the phlegmatic Sergeant Lewis.
The wonderful portrayals of these characters explains, I think, why the Inspector Morse television series seems to have lingered in popular memory more than contemporary series adaptations of crime novels by PD James, Ruth Rendell and Reginald Hill, writers whose crime novels I prefer to those by Dexter, on the whole. (The series also has had two more successful spin-offs of a sort: Inspector Lewis, in which Morse's promoted sidekick gets higher billing, and Endeavor, about a young Morse; see my reviews of the latter here and here.)
|Death Comes Calling
On the other hand Jacques Barzun and Wendell Hertig Taylor contrarily declared of Service of All the Dead in the second edition of their A Catalogue of Crime that the plot was "preposterous." I tend to agree.
Although this Oxford novel makes little of a college background, Dexter does a nice job of depicting a church, St. Frideswide's, and its congregation, many of whom have secrets to hide. The narrative is smoothly written and engrossing, reminding me somewhat of the works of P. D. James. There's an action climax, followed by a proffered solution (false) and then another (true, though there's a twist on that as well). But the disappointment for me came with the solution, which seemed extremely implausible. I simply couldn't accept the way that certain characters in the novel were said to have behaved.
Of course no one should expect a classic style mystery to be an exercise in unadulterated realism, but I think one still needs to be able to swallow the solution (even if some heaping spoonfuls of sugar are needed). Otherwise we enter the land of fantasy. Here I, like Barzun and Taylor, just couldn't buy it.
This charge of implausibility has long been leveled at Golden Age mystery, but I find a book like Agatha Christie's Murder on the Orient Express much more convincing than Dexter's in its bravura solution, despite carping about it from Raymond Chandler. (Obviously to avoid spoilers I can't go into detail here.)
The other problem I had with Dexter's novel is the way women characters are portrayed, but this is a common enough feature in Dexter's novels, particularly the earlier ones. It seems an article of faith in them that young women, even teenagers, are attracted to middle-aged men in general and middle-aged Morse (who is 47 in Service, two years younger than was Dexter when the novel was published) in particular.
And, sure enough, as this "honey" trickles to her next lesson, she wonders thoughtfully to herself "why she so often felt so attracted to the older men. Men like this inspector fellow; men like Mr. Morris....Her mind went back to the time they'd sat in the car together....
It gets kind of breathy from here, what with talk of felt-up breasts and unbuttoned buttons. (In another novel Dexter quotes Philip Larkin's pronouncement that "'Unbutton' is the most erotic word in the English language").
Morse's relationship with one of these emotionally needy women has rather an unsavory resolution, I think. (Tellingly this resolution was altered and softened for television.) With Colin Dexter sometimes one feels that, as far as gender relations are concerned, one is reading not a modern detective novel but rather some hard-boiled crime tale from the 1950s, one that perhaps was retrograde even by mid-twentieth-century standards.
I often read people attributing this aspect of Dexter to that favored scapegoat, "the times," but it's not something I recall in contemporary British novels by other male detective novelists from Dexter's generation, like Reginald Hill, Peter Lovesey and Robert Barnard. However, if one can past this limitation, as I see it, and swallow the solution, there is some good stuff to be found in Service of All the Dead. Colin Dexter's writing is always most readable.

Over the years I have found it very helpful to categorize the workflows for my own projects or customer's by adding a prefix to the workflow name.
Typically the prefix describes the job function or even company department which helps you group workflows visually on the screen.
Here is an example:
This technique can be very effective should you have multiple pages worth of workflows.

Auckland-based solution company announces hackathon to grow crops on Mars
Auckland-based solution company Autogrow is bringing the world of indoor agriculture together with space exploration and creating a two-day indoor agriculture hackathon. Alongside event partner Silicon Valley Forum, the November hackathon will see teams create crop production solutions for the inhospitable Mars conditions. "We believe if you can find a way to sustainably grow crops on Mars, you will be able to grow in some of the harshest environments on earth because, if you can grow it there, you can grow it anywhere," says Autogrow CEO Darryn Keiller. "With climate change events having a significant impact on food production around the world, we need to look at alternative solutions to feed the projected 9 billion people by 2050.
"We want to set the bar high and hope to get creative, unique and resourceful solutions that can be utilised for crop production regardless of location." Silicon Valley Forum is familiar with hackathons but this is the first time they have had a focus on the 'red planet'. "This is an innovative event with a very real and challenging goal and we are pleased to be hosting it with Autogrow in one of the world's most technological hubs in San Francisco," says Denyse Cardozo, Silicon Valley Forum executive director.
"We are looking for a range of people from programmers to agronomists, scientists, data technologists, researchers and anyone else who has an interest in taking on a challenge to grow crops on Mars to register a team." Teams will be able to create software, data or design solutions for growing crops on Mars. "We will be looking at originality, scalability, sustainability with regards to resource efficiency and whether it can be reproduced here on Earth.
"There will be a great panel of judges and mentors and we are lucky to have the partnership of Silicon Valley Forum who see the benefit in a hackathon geared towards indoor agriculture," says Keiller.
Established in 1994, Autogrow creates original ideas for agriculture - and makes them a reality. With a global headquarters in Auckland, New Zealand, and growers and resellers in over 39 countries, Autogrow provides growers with affordable, accessible and easy-to-use innovation.
By leveraging the power of technology, data science and plant biology through a team of software designers, engineers and crop science experts - Autogrow continues to push innovation boundaries to gain results for the growers.

The Small Details
It's all in the details! When we first started by doing one of our own weddings we realized there are so many small details that go into the "perfect" wedding. Details that we would have never known. And as they say Experience is simply the name we give our mistakes. To the guest at the wedding, everything may have seemed good but as a bride, who spent over a year planning what I thought was every detail, it was a big disappointment when the small details were not executed because I was busy being a bride. If we knew what we know now hiring a planner would have been step 1. And that is when a few best friends decided it was time to pass our experience onto other couples to ensure EVERY small detail is planned and executed.

Apple TV finally has its own official Plex app. Available now for free on the new Apple TV App Store, media streaming service Plex has been one of the most wanted apps for the set-top box since its original launch in 2007. While official Plex apps existed on iPhone and iPad — as well as on Roku, Google TV, and a host of other devices — the company held off working on its own official app for Apple TV until Apple chose to open up its platform with the addition of a dedicated App Store.
Plex waited until Apple TV added an App Store
Announcement of that addition came with the reveal of Apple's fourth-generation Apple TV, but Plex co-founder Scott Olechowski confirmed earlier in September that his company would be producing an official app for the new box. For many years, third-party apps were the only way to use Plex with Apple's second- and third- generation Apple TVs, necessitating complicated install procedures and forcing users to jailbreak their devices in order to stream their media collections. In 2013, that process was simplified slightly with the release of Plex Connect on Apple TV, which hijacked the device's Trailer channel to allow backdoor access to your media.
Plex originally planned to release its official app as close to the launch of the new Apple TV as possible, using its iOS app as a base for the software, but was delayed by its desire to use full native code — a decision that required more programming time. That meant the app was beaten to the market by third-party client Simplex, but Plex says its Apple TV software is "essentially one of the richest" in terms of features, a fact that should fix the app as one of the hardware's most recommended downloads.

Below is a gallery of photos focused on Russian fairy tales that Uldus is compiling for a book. Each image is layered with symbols and meaning much like her ironic earlier projects. In an article by Katie Baker, Bakhtiozina says, "All fairy tales were horror stories originally, with a love of the night, shamanism, meat, skulls, furs and gold."
The elements which speak to me in her work are the elements of mythic, shamanistic, symbolism. That connection to the mythic and nature is something that plucks a string and sends a hum, a deep resonance through me. Reminds me of the roots we have all come from. The stories by the fire, the stories of childhood where we imagined and belived that it was all very real.
For the longest time as a child I wanted to be an elf or an old witch who lived in a cottage in the forest as potential career paths. It's hard to say when the veil of that being a real possibility got lifted to reveal a world that did not contain those career options LOL. I know I was very upset and all the remaining options felt lack lustre…. I don't think I am alone in that hankering for the magical…
Images like these from Uldus make that place inside me open its eyes again. Just 'hanging out' with the images immerses me in that 'otherworldliness.' Naturally it sends me back to that young girl who was determined to have a magical life as an elf or a witch.
Every shot I take is influenced by something, and each photo tells a story. I reference things that are special to me. Whether it is an old film, a song, a painting, or a poem. It's all about telling a story. I am constantly inspired and my way of expressing this is by taking photos, it's my way of sharing my experiences. There are way too many bland, cold, boring fashion and lifestyle photos out there. My photos try to express something deeper then today's average trendy photo formula. I make it a point to get away from that. I want to be learning something or feeling something when I'm looking at a photo – so I try to create the same experience with my photography. With my art. With my Life! I am deeply inspired with Pre-Raphaelites , poetry of XIX Century, with paganism and Russ Land fairy tales, at the same time i am very passionate about modernity, media, i love super heroes, especially Iron Man, i love German language and colored hairs on girls. So, all these little and big things come to me and get to you from me through my art photography! Generally my statement isto be free and flow with emotions. I am gaining to bring beauty and positive emotions to people! I live for that! STAY HIGH!

My adventures with the Realize gastric band and search for a more passionate life!

BYOC – Bring Your Own Crazy - *usually* 5 harmless questions we answer to get to know each other better. (today we're gonna get to know each other better than our own mothers do I'm afraid) Also used as a break for your blogging brain. Copy and paste if you dare.
For those of you who would love to answer but are afraid of who might be reading your blog don't forget about the safe blog!
I'm going to clarify before answering that I have a very open view on intimacy. For those new followers, I am an erotic blogger of about five + years. In the words of my old boss when talking about erotic blogging he asked "How do you come up with new stuff? I mean, really! There are only so many ways to skin a cat"
This is very true and even more so when your audience/followers are following based on the topic/genre of your blog. Mine happens to focus on "Topping from below" which in S&M terms is when you are submissive until you see an opening and then become the master. Make sense?
Moving on...
1. What is your favorite position for sex?
I'd have to say it depends on where I am. If say at a hotel (which is like an adult playground) I'd answer with being bent over anything that doesn't move..
(ODL, please don't judge me. I'm just being honest)
A favorite is hard to nail down (get it?) like I said, it would depend on where I was.
2. How many orgasms have you had in a 24 hour period?
Damn, it's been a while. 5-6 maybe? Yes, it was at a hotel.
3. Do you like to be spanked?
Not really my thing. Shocked are we?
I don't mind teeth in my shoulder as long as no skin gets broke.
4. Do you think it's ever okay to fake an orgasm – and when/why? (for real – this is a serious ? a follower wants to know)
YES! I think it is okay as long as it is for the right reason. If you're tired or distracted and know you are not going to get there (and you have a partner who makes a point of caring if you do or not)
I'd say No! if you are avoiding talking about an unsatisfying love life with someone you plan to spend your life with.
5.Repeat question #5. Summarize your week in blogland and in real life.
Blogland is awesome. The support over my freak out is appreciated. I hope to explain a bit more in a future post. BUT I THANK YOU ALL!
I had a meet up recently and that is always cool. I am excited to see the Texas & NY gang planning a bandster lunch.
Real life? N/A

One of the more entertaining aspects of owning an iPhone is the plethora of apps that are available for your use and enjoyment. Some of them are really helpful, informative, or at least interesting: weather updates, celeb gossip, directions, movie times, etc. Then there are the completely superfluous apps that make you scratch your head and wonder why anyone would ever need that – right before you download it yourself.
IBeer is probably one of the most pointless apps, yet everyone seems to have it. It's an app that turns your screen into a full pint glass of beer, and you can "drink" it by tilting your iPhone downwards. The beer then flows out of the pint glass. Sounds simple enough, yet it's enough to reduce grown men to giggles when they all use it.
Tickle Me! Is another app that looks to be mainly for the amusement factor – even if that factor does wear off pretty quickly. The app enables your touchscreen to respond to you tickling it, with a slightly irritating child's laugh.
One that still makes no sense is Hold On , an app where you hold your finger in one spot on the touch screen for as long as you can. That's it. This could probably be amusing for a bunch of drunken people who are pretending to be sober, but that's about it.
Everyone loves to pop bubble wrap, which is most likely why the Bubble Wrap app is so popular. It just fills your screen with bubble wrap that you "pop" by touching each bubble.
While this one does not do it anything useful, it certainly is cool – the PhoneSaber . It basically turns your touchscreen into a light saber, complete with visuals and sounds. It's pretty awesome, yet there seems to be limited things you can do with it. Challenge your friends to a duel, maybe?
One that may seem silly, but has popped up at concerts and rock shows a lot laTely, is the Virtual Zippo . Gone are the days when you hold up a lighter at shows if something moves you – now you have the virtual version. This is admittedly better than people just holding up their cell phones, which has always looked silly.
CoinFlip is another that goes into the "is that really necessary?" Category, yet everyone sees to have it. It does exactly what its name indicates – it flips a coin.
A pretty amusing app is the Abacus , which seems to be going against everything the iPhone really is – cutting edge technology. But again, maybe for the drunk people trying to figure out how much money they have at the end of the night, this might work.
Too tired to yell enthusiastically for your sports team of choice? Then the " Wooo! " App may be for you. It's a button that shows up on your touchscreen, and every time you hit it, a tinny voice says "wooo!" Very exciting.
Lastly, there is the I Can Has Cheezburger app, which sends you an update every time there's a new location posted. Who does not need that?
There's something about some of these iPod touch apps , even though they do absolutely nothing useful, and in fact, just mostly take up space on your iPhone or iPod touch. However trivial some of these applications may seem, they offer enjoyment to the hundreds of thousands of users who download them. After all, is not that the point of these applications?Immobilienmakler Heidelberg Makler Heidelberg

"Hello Front Steppers,
We bought our SFR in 2004 and have a 3/1 ARM of $600K on a $1mil home. We can pay the newly adjusted amount without really changing our lifestyle, but we would like to refinance before the next rate adjustment in 10 months. With all that is going on in the mortgage industry right now, how will that affect a refinance? Both our FICO scores are around 770.
Thanks for any insight you can provide.
My first bit of advice would be to read this post so you have a bit of an understanding of the "true" state of the industry. You might read this post as well.
Then it seems to me from your question you're concerned about a) being able to refinance, and b) getting a good rate. Given the limited information you provided, I'd have to say you should be okay with a refi as long as you can afford payments at the new rates. All the shake ups in the industry really come down to financial qualifications, whether it be a refi, or purchase. Money will no longer be lent to people that shouldn't be borrowing in the first place, and of course rates are most likely a fair bit higher than what you are paying currently.
The long and short is as long as you can provide documentation, have good credit, and deal with the right people (brokers), you should be okay. But I will be the first to admit I am not a mortgage expert. The best advice I can give is to pick up the phone and call a few mortgage brokers, or maybe a few will chime in. If you need numbers, feel free to email me again.
Thanks for reading, asking, and hanging out on theFrontSteps. Hope this helps.

We have been taught, largely since independence, a Hindu needs to be docile, fearful and timid. If a Hindu is anything like valiant, proud or assertive, he should be ashamed of himself, else he or she will be likened with a Godse and called a terrorist. This tendency took more shape during a decade of UPA regime under the Sonia Gandhi. Not much protest came about as we have largely accepted this caricature of a Hindu who can not have it in him to hit back. As No-Go areas began springing in the society, under the influence of Wahaabism supported by a power lobby which worked at two levels- the obvious, which was the Congress and the subtle, which was the Communists; taught by Marxist historians, Hindus slowly and slowly began believing that the Hindu race had no trace of Martial strength in it. There cannot be a bigger lie than this.
It is true that Hindus were not culturally and historically inclined to be in a state of perpetual war readiness, Hindus were no cowards, as history shows us. Hindus did not go out to conquer the foreign lands, mostly because on the North and West, the lands were not so welcoming, geographically. India itself was full of fertile lands, abundant resources and possibly unlike Deserts of Middle-East pushing men to fight and move eastwards never was a reason. A long, conspiratorial, mild-conditioning has led us to believe that when the Islamic invaders raided India, India stood like scared deer in a corner. It ignores the fact that the march for global rule of Alexander was stopped in India only. Reasons have been given that the Army was about to rebel as they were feeling homesick, but they are mostly part of writings of historians on Alexander's side. One ignores that the soldiers might have been feeling homesick much earlier as well, but Alexander was winning kingdoms and had something to offer to them, to placate their frustrated longing for home.
In his book Hindu Dharma and the Culture Wars, it is well-argued by Koenraad Elst in his essay Hindu Fearlessness through Ages. He begins quoting a provocative statement by Mahatma Gandhi, which he made in 1924 in Young India. Gandhi wrote-
"The Muslim is a bully. The Hindu a coward."
Koenraad so beautifully contests this rather absurd claim. This idea of fake cowardice builds on itself, as you shrink, ceding space after space, until the time it slowly penetrates your veins and in real life, start being apologetic about your thoughts and opinion. The problem with this kind of forced humility is that it is not honest and it surfaces in extreme positions. It is therefore very pertinent that the truth be told to our coming generation so that they gain the lost pride in our history. Koenraad than explains how all the bravery of Pakistan's Islamic Army went in thin air the moment India's largely Hindu army descended in Bangladesh. He also goes back into the history, to explain what is taught to us as a sudden flood of invaders and immediate falling on the knees of the Hindus of India is so erroneous. He goes back to the first attack on India in 646 AD right after Islam was born and the failure of it.
We look at the history of Islamic invasion of India. Chachnama mentions that three simultaneous attacks were made at Thane, Bharuch and Debal respectively by the Governor of Oman, and he ended up losing his brother in Debal. The first major battle between Hindu and Islamic forces happened in 644 as Battle of Rasil, in which Hindu Rai King Rai Rasil had to cede space and go back to Indus. Both the armies retreated and it seems more like a raid. Another Hindu tribe of the area, Zunbils were defeated in 653. In 698 another Islamic Army clashed with the Zunbis (Sun worshipers) and was defeated. In 700AD an army led by Ibn-Al ash' ath attempted conquer the Zunbis but failed. During the time of Umayyad rule under Muawiyah, the expansions were again pushed. King Chach of Sindh sent his army and the Islamic forces under Haris b Marrah was annihilated. By 670 AD, the Islamic armies were completely pushed back into Arab lands. The Shah of Iran sent Muhammad Bin Qasim in 710 AD and Raja Dahir lost this battle. However, the city of Brahmanabad (Masur) was quickly recaptured and Jai Singh, the son of Raja Dahir became the King. The next wave of Arab invaders in 725AD was repelled by Gurjara king, Silkula and finally defeated by Bappa Raval and Nagabhatta I, near Ujjain. Mahmud Ghazni defeated Jaipala in 1031 and conquered Punjab for good. The conquest of whole of India remained a far dream, 400 Years after the Islamic expansion started with the Prophet, who doubled as Military General and the Emperor too. To bring home the contrast, in 12 years rule of Caliph Utthman Ibn Affan, Armenia, Cyprus and Iran fell; between passing away of Prophet Mohammad, in 632 AD and 642 AD, in 10 years, Syria, Egypt and Mesopotamia fell and Spain fell in 70 years. The Mughals at the height of their power only ruled mostly over northern part of India and even within that, a large part through independent rulers as their vassals.
When Aurangzeb decided to go back to the role of Islamic crusader, Shivaji had become a force to reckon with in southern India. Such was the valor of Shivaji that once again the pushback of Hindu India will go up to the banks of Attock. While reading Jadunath Sarcar's Shivaji and His Times, it becomes amply clear that why Shivaji was largely left as a caricature of grandness or reduced to a footnote. The instance of Afzal Khan- Shivaji encounter is particularly telling. When starting for the campaign, Afzal Khan boasted that he will capture Shivaji. With 10000 Soldiers and horses, he reaches Wai and halts there for months. He tries to get help from local Marathas and even gets it from Khandoji Khopde and Kanhoji Jedhe. He then sends Krishnaji Bhaskar to Shivaji with a conciliatory note assuring to use his influence to confirm Konkan and other forts to Shivaji.
Krishnaji Bhaskar hints about the betrayal that Afzal Khan planned for him. Gopinath Pant escorts Krishnaji back to Afzal Khan's court. Meeting was set up below the fort of Pratapgarh. Shivaji, brave and unmoved by the definite danger, dresses up for the great moment. Under his tunic, he puts on an armour, below the turban places a steel cap. In his left hand is concealed a set of Steel Claws (Baghnakha), under his right sleeve, a thin, sharp dagger- the Scorpion (Bichhuwa). He is accompanied by Jiv Mahala and Shambhuji Kavji, each carrying two swords and a shield. Afzalkhan still scared of Shivaji starts with escort of a thousand musketeers from his camp at Village Par. Gopinath Pant objects to it, saying this will scare Shivaji and the deal will be off. So he leaves the troop a little distance and goes with two soldiers, and a famous swordsman Sayyid Banda. Shivaji demands that Sayyid Banda be moved from the tent. Shiva mounts the platform and bows to Afzal. Afzal embraces Shiva and tries to choke him, at the same time he draws his long straight-bladed dagger and struck at the side of Shiva. The hidden armor saves Shiva. Shiva quickly recovers, presses his left arm around Khan's waist and tears open his bowels with steel claws. Then he drives Bichhuwa in the side of the Khan. Khan falls calling for help. Sayyid Banda tries to intercept Shivaji. Shivaji takes a rapier from from Jiv Mahala and fights back. Jiv Mahala cuts the right arm of Banda and kills him. Bearers try to take away Afzal Khan in the Palki, Shambhuji Kavji, cuts the head of Afzal Khan. The details are gory and violent. But this was the moment which turned the history and paved the way for Shivaji to become Hindu Hriday Samrat, or the Chhatrapati King of Hindus, a rebel against the sword of Islam held by Aurangzeb. The narrative of Ahimsa Parmo Dharma is thrown at Hindus always, while hiding away the massage of Gita. Shivaji's story is that of bravery and grit, or practicality and valor. It is a story we all Indians should know. It is important for both Hindus and Muslims to read it. It removes the stupid stereotypes created by the leftists to push their agenda of communal division.
If we look at later days too, Ram Prasad Bismil or Azaad, there was never a lack of courage. There was of course, a principled courage. It might sound revivalist from the perspective of modern thought which has taken it upon itself to keep the hindus perpetually afraid, timid and apologetic. But it is very important that this fake narrative is opposed since friendship is possible only among the equals. A principled Arya Samaji Bismil needs a proud Muslim Ashfaq to respect him and an Ashfaq would not become a trusted comrade to a man lesser than Bismil. Once that happens, the ghettos, the no-go zones will go away. As they say, for two men to have integrated relationship, it is important that one of the two men is not cut to his knees. And in that only a secure and prosperous India can live. Only in acknowledging and accepting individual identity can we decide to consciously merge it into the larger super-communal identity of Nationalism.

India and Nepal sign accord to protect wildlife and tackle crime
New Delhi, India, 4th August 2010—India and Nepal have signed an agreement to ensure better management of forest areas, many of them key habitat for Tigers and other threatened wildlife, along the 1,751 km Indo-Nepal border.
Both countries will also co-ordinate their implementation of national action plans to protect Tigers, rhinos and elephants and are committed to strengthening the capacity of personnel involved in wildlife conservation, by intensifying the joint patrolling of border areas and to restoring border habitats.
Regular consultative meetings between the two countries will be held to review progress and plan future strategies.
"For the value of long-term conservation, it is encouraging to see the strengthening of the existing collaboration between India and Nepal for the protection of biodiversity and ecological security in the area bordering the two countries," said Mr Ravi Singh, Secretary General and CEO, WWF-India.
Key transboundary areas to benefit include Sukhlaphanta- Lagga Bagga- Pilibhit, Bardia-Katerniaghat-Khata, Banke-Suhelwa, Jhapa-Darjeeling and Kosi Tappu.
"With wildlife moving freely across the border and illegal wildlife trade increasingly a transnational crime, such inter-country agreements are imperative for ensuring adequate biodiversity conservation in South Asia," said Mr Samir Sinha, Head of TRAFFIC India.
"In the past, porous borders have allowed smuggling of protected wildlife and other wildlife products out of the region for consumption in other parts of Asia.
"The new collaboration will enable a better flow of intelligence between India and Nepal and lead to joint operations to curb the illegal wildlife trade."
Items smuggled from India to Nepal have included animal parts such as Tiger, Leopard, Snow Leopard and otter skins, pangolin scales, Yarsa Gumba and Red Sanders, all items that have been seized.
The signing of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on 29 July followed a meeting on transboundary biodiversity conservation held in Kathmandu, Nepal between senior officials of India's National Tiger Conservation Authority and Nepal's Ministry of Forest and Soil Conservation.

One aspect of the recently published study on Chukchi Sea polar bears (Rode et al.2014 [now in print]
2013; see here and here) has not been stressed enough: their finding that the differences in overall condition between bears in the Chukchi and Southern Beaufort Seas came down to disparities in spring feeding opportunities and therefore, the condition of spring sea ice.
The fact that spring — not summer — is the most critical period for polar bears is something I've pointed out before (see here and here, for example) but it's worth repeating at this time of year, when all eyes are on the annual ice minimum. It is often treated as a given that the decline in extent of summer sea ice in the Arctic since 1979 has been detrimental to polar bears. However, this is an assumption that we can now say is not supported by scientific evidence (see summary of that evidence here).
The results published by Rode et al. (2014
2013) not only add further support to the conclusion that declines in summer sea ice have not harmed polar bears, but should put the matter to rest – unless new evidence to the contrary is produced.
Chukchi bears, the report tells us, had more food available in the spring than Southern Beaufort bears (see map below) and this was the primary reason that bears were doing very well in the Chukchi and not quite as well in the Southern Beaufort. And because the polar bears for this study were captured and measured in mid-March to early May, from 2008 to 2011, they reflect spring-time conditions for 2008-2011 as well as year-round conditions from 2007 through 2010.
This means that the annual low ice extent for 2007 (record-breaking at the time), in the fall before this study began, had no discernible negative effect on either Chukchi or Southern Beaufort polar bears – and neither did similarly low annual minimums in two of the three remaining years of the study (Fig 1).
A summary statement posted by the US Fish & Wildlife Service on the Rode et al. paper, written by co-author Eric Regehr (pdf here), says this about the results:
"Although diets were similar for the two populations, the Chukchi Sea bears had greater access to food in the spring." [my bold]
In the paper, Rode et al. say:
"Condition and reproduction of ringed seals and bearded seals, which comprise almost 80% of polar bear diets in the CS [Chukchi Sea], have either increased or remained stable since the 1970s. Pregnancy rates among ringed seals in the CS were the second highest recorded and females are maturing at the youngest age reported. Ringed seal pups are one of the most important food sources for polar bears (Pilfold et al., 2012) and high proportions of ringed seal pups in subsistence harvest samples in the CS suggest they are abundant. "
Spring is when most polar bear feeding takes place because newborn ringed seal pups are only available from March through May, when there is still lots of ice around (Fig. 2).
Here's how it works: the more ringed seal pups polar bears can consume in the spring, the more fat the bears can store to buffer against times of low food availability later in the year (including the following late summer/early fall months); the more ringed seal pups breeding female bears consume, the more successful these bears will be at producing and raising cubs that survive.
Rode et al. assumed that amount of summer sea ice should make a difference between the Chukchi and the Southern Beaufort, and tried to correlate features like body condition and litter size with declines in summer sea ice.
But in the end, the correlation was a poor fit:
"In our relatively short study, declines in sea ice extent alone did not completely explain variation in polar bear population productivity."
Instead, the factor that made the largest difference in overall condition (body fat plus litter production) between the two regions was spring feeding.
In the spring, Chukchi bears over the period 2008 to 2011 had access to a bumper-crop of ringed seal pups, while Southern Beaufort bears did not — due to the effects of thick spring ice (see previous posts here, here, and Footnote 1 below regarding spring ice conditions in the Eastern Beaufort, where most of the "Southern Beaufort" research has been conducted).
The Rode et al. data support the conclusion that differences in spring ice conditions (and associated differences in seal abundance) caused the overall differences in condition amongst Chukchi and Southern Beaufort polar bears and does not support the assumption that the extent of ice in late August/September imposes the strongest limitation on polar bear success.
Footnote 1:
Oddly, Rode et al. sampled bears for evidence of fasting in the Chukchi in 2008-2011 but did not do the same for Southern Beaufort bears, who were sampled for fasting indicators only in 2004-2005, by another researcher (Cherry et al. 2009).
Rode et al. (2014:84
2013:19) say this:
"Our evaluation of nutritional ecology for polar bears is consistent with lower prey availability in the SB [Southern Beaufort] compared to the CS [Chukchi Sea]. Only 8% of polar bears captured in the CS appeared to be fasting in spring, compared to 21.4 and 29.3% of bears fasting in the SB in spring 2005 and 2006, respectively (Cherry et al., 2009). In the CS, the majority of fasting bears were adult males (92% of fasting bears) who may forgo foraging to pursue females during the mating season (Ramsay et al., 1991; Cherry et al., 2009). The SB, in contrast, had 20-25% of adult females (including separate categories of females with and without dependent young) and > 15% of subadults fasting.
Consumption of larger prey species [like walrus] or carrion [like whale] or a greater diversity of prey does not appear to explain the difference in body size and condition observed between CS and SB bears." [my bold]
In other words, all except one of the Chukchi bears that were fasting were males that were distracted by their sex drive, not because there wasn't enough food to eat, while a significant portion of Southern Beaufort females and subadults were not eating because they were having trouble finding seals (at the precise time they should be consuming as much food as possible).
Rode et al. (2014
2013) suggest the situation in 2005 and 2006 "is consistent" with their conclusion that Southern Beaufort bears had a lower availability of prey in 2008-2011. I take this to mean that from 2008 to 2011, spring sea ice conditions in the eastern portion of the Southern Beaufort were similar to 2005/2006 – in other words, too thick for a good crop of ringed seal pups (see previous post here). If not, why not provided the data for 2008-2011?
In fact, all of the evidence that Rode et al. present for a decline in body condition for ringed seals in the Southern Beaufort – and associated declines in condition of polar bears in 2004 and 2005 – are studies conducted in the far eastern portion of the Beaufort only, not the entire length of the northern Alaska coastline (discussed here and here).
And as I have noted previously (here), Ian Stirling and colleagues (2008) admitted that thick-ice springs occurred from 2004-2006, were similar to previous incidents, and had significant impacts on both ringed seals and polar bears:
"The 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s each experienced a two- to three-year decline in seal productivity in the eastern Beaufort Sea and Amundsen Gulf, associated with heavy ice conditions, around mid-decade. Each was followed by a decline in polar bear reproduction and condition, after which both seal and bear populations recovered (Smith, 1987; Harwood et al., 2000; Stirling, 2002). The beginning of each of those three periods was associated with heavy ice conditions through the winter before the reproductive decline of the seals, followed by a late spring breakup."
"From 2003 through 2006, large areas of the annual landfast ice from northeast of Atkinson Point to the Alaska border (Fig. 1) were compressed into high pressure ridges interspersed with extensive areas of rafted floes and rubble (especially in 2005; Fig. 2). In some places, these areas extended offshore form the mainland coast for tens of kilometers. Such heavy ice reduces the availability of low consolidated ridges and refrozen leads with accompanying snowdrifts typically used by ringed seals for birth and haul-out lairs (Smith and Stirling, 1975, 1978). Although we were unable to make a quantified comparison, our subjective impression is that in 12 previous spring field seasons surveying the same area for polar bears (1971-79, 1985-87) only once, in 1974, did we observe similarly extensive areas of rubble, pressure ridges, and rafted floes."

Highlighting local products and manufacturing throughout the Region 2000 Partnership
T. C. Trotters, LLC
Moose Mix for Bloody Marys
T. C. Trotters Moose Mix for Bloody Marys is locally made and sold throughout the country—as far-reaching as New York, Florida and California. For 30 years Moose Mix was sold exclusively through one of Lynchburg's fine, upscale eateries. Then in 2007, Moose Mix was bottled and sold through a local gourmet grocer and delicatessen. Currently, Moose Mix is sold in several local specialty stores and restaurants as well as Virginia ABC stores statewide.
Moose Mix has a distinct and recognizable taste: sufficiently spicy but not overwhelming. Its hearty blend NEVER waters down, whether you drink your bloody mary in two big swigs or sip it over an hour. The mix stands on its own with a taste that does not wilt once vodka is added.
Moose Mix is available in three sizes:
- 10oz Cooler Bottle – 8oz of mix with space to add spirits of choice, wide mouth for drinking – ideal for tailgating, golf outings, the beach, picnics, or barbeques
- 750 ml – Economy buy
- 8oz Gift Bottle (Pictured) – perfect for gift bags or stocking stuffers
