Bananas contain three natural sugars – sucrose, fructose and glucose combined with fiber. A banana gives an instant, sustained and substantial boost of energy.
Research has proven that just two bananas provide enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout. No wonder the banana is the number one fruit with the world's leading athletes.
But energy isn't the only way a banana can help us keep fit. It can also help overcome or prevent a substantial number of illnesses and conditions, making it a must to add to our daily diet.
According to a recent survey undertaken by MIND amongst people suffering from depression, many felt much better after eating a banana. This is because bananas contain tryptophan, a type of protein that the body converts into serotonin, known to make you relax, improve your mood and generally make you feel happier.
Forget the pills – eat a banana. The vitamin B6 it contains regulates blood glucose levels, which can affect your mood.
High in iron, bananas can stimulate the production of hemoglobin in the blood and so helps in cases of anemia.
This unique tropical fruit is extremely high in potassium yet low in salt, making it perfect to beat blood pressure So much so, the US Food and Drug Administration has just allowed the banana industry to make official claims for the fruit's ability to reduce the risk of blood pressure and stroke.
200 students at a Twickenham (Middlesex) school ( England ) were helped through their exams this year by eating bananas at breakfast, break, and lunch in a bid to boost their brain power. Research has shown that the potassium-packed fruit can assist learning by making pupils more alert.
High in fiber, including bananas in the diet can help restore normal bowel action, helping to overcome the problem without resorting to laxatives.
One of the quickest ways of curing a hangover is to make a banana milkshake, sweetened with honey. The banana calms the stomach and, with the help of the honey, builds up depleted blood sugar levels, while the milk soothes and re-hydrates your system.
Bananas have a natural antacid effect in the body, so if you suffer from heartburn, try eating a banana for soothing relief.
Snacking on bananas between meals helps to keep blood sugar levels up and avoid morning sickness.
Before reaching for the insect bite cream, try rubbing the affected area with the inside of a banana skin. Many people find it amazingly successful at reducing swelling and irritation.
Bananas are high in B vitamins that help calm the nervous system..
Overweight and at work? Studies at the Institute of Psychology in Austria found pressure at work leads to gorging on comfort food like chocolate and chips. Looking at 5,000 hospital patients, researchers found the most obese were more likely to be in high-pressure jobs. The report concluded that, to avoid panic-induced food cravings, we need to control our blood sugar levels by snacking on high carbohydrate foods every two hours to keep levels steady.
The banana is used as the dietary food against intestinal disorders because of its soft texture and smoothness. It is the only raw fruit that can be eaten without distress in over-chronicler cases. It also neutralizes over-acidity and reduces irritation by coating the lining of the stomach.
Many other cultures see bananas as a 'cooling' fruit that can lower both the physical and emotional temperature of expectant mothers. In Thailand , for example, pregnant women eat bananas to ensure their baby is born with a cool temperature.
So, a banana really is a natural remedy for many ills. When you compare it to an apple, it has FOUR TIMES the protein, TWICE the carbohydrate, THREE TIMES the phosphorus, five times the vitamin A and iron, and twice the other vitamins and minerals.. It is also rich in potassium and is one of the best value foods around So maybe its time to change that well-known phrase so that we say, 'A BANANA a day keeps the doctor away!'
PS: Bananas must be the reason monkeys are so happy all the time! I will add one here; want a quick shine on our shoes?? Take the INSIDE of the banana
It is popular in Japan today to drink water immediately after waking up every morning. Furthermore, scientific tests have proven its value. We publish below a description of use of water for our readers. For old and serious diseases as well as modern illnesses the water treatment had been found successful by a Japanese medical society as a 100% cure for the following diseases:
Headache, body ache, heart system, arthritis, fast heart beat, epilepsy, excess fatness, bronchitis asthma, TB, meningitis, kidney and urine diseases, vomiting, gastritis, diarrhea, piles, diabetes, constipation, all eye diseases, womb, cancer and menstrual disorders, ear nose and throat diseases.
1. As you wake up in the morning before brushing teeth, drink 4 x 160ml glasses of water
2. Brush and clean the mouth but do not eat or drink anything for 45 minute
3.. After 45 minutes you may eat and drink as normal.
4. After 15 minutes of breakfast, lunch and dinner do not eat or drink anything for 2 hours
5. Those who are old or sick and are unable to drink 4 glasses of water at the beginning may commence by taking little water and gradually increase it to 4 glasses per day.
6. The above method of treatment will cure diseases of the sick and others can enjoy a healthy life.
The following list gives the number of days of treatment required to cure/control/reduce main diseases:
1. High Blood Pressure (30 days)
2. Gastric (10 days)
3. Diabetes (30 days)
4. Constipation (10 days)
5. Cancer (180 days)
6. TB (90 days)
7. Arthritis patients should follow the above treatment only for 3 days in the 1st week, and from 2nd week onwards – daily..
This treatment method has no side effects, however at the commencement of treatment you may have to urinate a few times.
It is better if we continue this and make this procedure as a routine work in our life. Drink Water and Stay healthy and Active.
This makes sense .. The Chinese and Japanese drink hot tea with their meals ..not cold water. Maybe it is time we adopt their drinking habit while eating!!! Nothing to lose, everything to gain…
For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you.
It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal. However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion.
Once this 'sludge' reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine.
Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer. It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal.
A serious note about heart attacks:
· Women should know that not every heart attack symptom is going to be the left arm hurting,
· Be aware of intense pain in the jaw line.
· You may never have the first chest pain during the course of a heart attack.
· Nausea and intense sweating are also common symptoms.
· 60% of people who have a heart attack while they are asleep do not wake up.
· Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep. Let's be careful and be aware. The more we know, the better chance we could survive…

It's true: you've got to watch what you eat. Although you burn up lots of calories when you run or workout, you can't just eat anything you want. You've got to have a balanced diet and all that. When I trained for my first full marathon (26.2 miles) I put on 10 pounds. How is that? It is simple...I was eating crap food and eating a lot of it.
I felt that since I was running up to 8 hours a week that my body could handle extra calories. First, it was going out after every long run. Then, it was treating myself with something really tasty every day. Ice Cream, cookies, chips.. you name it I had it during my first marathon. I was putting the miles on my feet and putting the calories in my mouth. My body showed it too.
The main message here is, treat yourself but treat yourself with the good stuff. I did not need to go out after a long run and get a hamburger, fries and a chocolate shake. I did not need the ice cream after my short runs. I been training pretty hard the past few months and it is showing. Most importantly I been only allowing myself 1-2 treats a week. One ice cream snack a week will not make me fat but 7 ice creams snacks will certainly show up sooner or later.
I have said this before.. You can't out exercise a bad diet. You just can't! It all starts in the kitchen and honestly that is the hardest part for many of us. Throw the junk out but treat yourself. Soon you will be happy with the way you look and not so upset you are not eating a super size meal from McDonalds.

"We're only young and naive still.
We require certain skills.
The mood, it changes like the wind, hard to control when it begins.
The bittersweet between my teeth, trying to find the in-between... fall back in love eventually.
Can't help myself but count the flaws
claw my way out through these walls
one temporary escape, feel it start to permeate.
promises, swear them to the sky...
as it withers, brittles and shakes, can you whisper? as it crumbles and breaks.
count up all our mistakes.
pair of forgivers
let go before it's too late.
can you whisper?"
Around 1 am approximately 7 hours before this moment on the sidewalk, I was crawling into bed feeling defeated and like I hadn't gotten enough accomplished. Convinced to accept defeat by what-is and always-is Monday, I decided to go to bed. I am incredibly happy here and in no way do I think I made the wrong decision to come here. In fact, I do not think I will EVER feel that way. But things are beginning to get a little tense and stress is building (one temporary escape, feel it start to permeate). I am no longer in the "honeymoon" stage of thoughts like, "Wow! A new and exciting city!" or "can't wait for an email back on what happened at work yesterday." I feel like promises made in my last few days from certain people whom I love deeply have been sworn to the sky and that the fears I shared with them could come true. This frightens me deeply. We had laid with our hands gripped tight and now I'm all the way over here- an ocean and miles of land away and maybe the distance is overwhelming.
Things are beginning to become real. This is becoming life.
I am torn substantially between hanging onto everything and everyone from 3 weeks ago and so desperately wanting to include them in this new phase and diving into things going on here.
From home, the baggage I managed to pack included friends of all shapes, colors and sizes and varying degrees of quality. I also loaded the plane with my desires and intentions to go to law school in 2012. I am now nose-deep in applications and answering the most absurd personal questions along with intellectual essays that require sessions of genius followed by writer's block and procrastination again accompanied by genius. These applications are overwhelming me, to say the least. And without the support system that I had cheering me on through my battle against the LSAT, it's even more tough. Unbeknownst to me, all the things on my plate when I boarded that direct flight to Madrid is stuck there like when you use Wal-Mart dishwashing detergent and as soon as you open the dishwasher, its apparent that off-brand just couldn't quite get the job done. This is just one example.
Additionally, I gained new wonders and stressors simultaneously. Things like opening a bank account, signing a lease, obtaining a temporary foreign residence card and moving into an apartment all within a few days, overlapping with starting a job that I have absolutely no training in and incredibly rusty Spanish posed quite a challenge. I love it so far. The chaos hasn't yet caused a complete anxiety attack, but my OCD self can only handle so much so it's only a matter of time before a complete hostile-takeover begins and I attempt to start running the place. Color coding, lists, file folders, schedules and nicely typed Word documents included. I've met some really amazing people here so far. I've also encountered some sketchy people that I feel like I cannot trust at all whatsoever which illuminates loneliness I don't even know exists until the moment I am reminded of it. I've also had students that I have contemplated risking an Amanda Knox trial, thinking no one would notice if I just slapped them square across the face... On the other hand, I've had students that remind me of the nerd I was, and still am, with this glowing eagerness in their eyes that reminds me of the potential I hope others see shining equally as brightly through me.
As I am navigating what I escaped to that's managed to become permanent, I am feeling things crumble, break and shake. Not at all in a bad way.
I am here to enjoy this time. To soak in whatever adventure comes my way. To do whatever the hell I want (and I don't care if you fucking like it). To escape. To relax. To learn. To stay focused on what I want to be doing. And I'm realizing that I'm not sure I can do all of those things at once. I feel like the pre-October 4th Stephanie and the post-October 4th Stephanie has partially lost her ability to understand the balance between who she IS, who she WAS and who she WILL or WANTS TO BE. I am trying to find the in-between but I am young and naive.
As I've said 1000 times on this blog, I have literally no CLUE what the future holds. As I marked through pages of research regarding schools realizing which ones I still know nothing about and which ones to mark as "reach" or "match" or "safety" I thought to myself for the first real time: I AM GOING TO LAW SCHOOL. I have a score that I am proud of because I worked my little white, pale ass off for it. And that's what I want. Above nearly anything else right now, what it comes down to is that's what I want. This leaves me with an eery bittersweet realization of the sacrifices that I am going to have to continue to make in order to ensure that this law school dream is realized.
Everything else is going to have to fall into place afterward.
And I finish this long-winded blog with begging you to read this epiphany with a grain of salt. For now, can you whisper and assure me that I am and have been making the right choices instead of counting my mistakes like tallies on receipt paper lining the ceiling of an elementary classroom counting down the days until school is over. I don't have it figured out, at all, not even almost maybe.
So there it is, devoted readers, Mastering The Balance of "In-Between:" Still Very Much So A Work In Progress.
While I am young, naive, with bittersweet between my teeth, putting love under a stack of other paperwork, counting up mistakes and requiring certain skills, plotting my nearest escape in fear of this place becoming permanent, bear with me. Live this ever-so-strange life with me or one of us better let go before it's too late.

This is the second sorter of this type that I've bought. The 1st was plastice and fell apart shortly but got me looking for a sturdier one. This one is indestructibe and rolls smoothly over all surfaces. The only problem I have is the 2 round locking rings that hold the bar up have worn and will not hold clothes. But I solved that with a couple of rubber bands on the verticle bars to keep them from sliding down (permanently). This is OK but I would like to find and buy replacement rings. Great product. Very usefull.

Doctrinally speaking, Ramesh is not an orthodox Catholic. He says he doesn't understand the proscription of homosexual conduct in Scripture, for instance, telling me that he needs to read more carefully on that subject. Homosexuality is not the only issue on which he parts ways with social conservatives. Ramesh endorses ending the federal war on drugs. He believes in the legalization of marijuana. He sees no vice in casinos. He does not support the Federal Marriage Amendment. ~Jason Mattera, Doublethink
Via Andrew Sullivan
Those with too much time on their hands will have seen, if only in passing, the long-running blog war between Andrew Sullivan and Ramesh Ponnuru. In itself, the fight isn't very interesting, except for what it tells us about Sullivan and his wild-eyed hunt for so-called Christianism's conspiracy against all right-thinking Christians (i.e., people like Andrew Sullivan). Because of Ponnuru's new book, The Party of Death, Sullivan declared the man on several occasions in league with the hated Christianists and at least once referred to his "religious fundamentalism." As Mr. Mattera's article shows, religious fundamentalism generally would have to have become a lot more flexible on a number of things for Ponnuru to qualify. Suffice it to say that if Ponnuru is member of the legions of "Christianism" and "religious fundamentalism," a whopping great majority of people would be with him. So much (yet again) for Sullivan's ridiculous pose as the tribune of true American Christianity.

|The Zone
Now I'm beginning to remember why this area is really called the Promised Land of the mission. There's been so many miracles this week that have just reminded me that when we work our hardest the Lord blesses us with his prepared children to teach.
This week we've been doing a lot of knocking and there's been two lessons with people that we found and taught just this week that I'm so excited about.
The first is Helmer. Elder Peters and I found him while we were on exchanges and knocking doors. He was just hanging out in his hammock with his kid blasting some kind of hispanic music. As we were walking up to his house, he turned the music down and got really excited to see us. He said he'd never seen missionaries here nor in Guatemala and he was excited to learn more. Elder Peters and I just taught him a quick message about the Book of Mormon and left him with the Introduction to read before we stopped by again later in the week. When Elder Neuenswander and I came back, not only had he read the Introduction, but he saw that it cited Moroni 10:3-5, so he found that and read it too, then he moved on to just starting in 1 Nefi 1! And he loved everything he read! He said he felt so good about it and wanted to learn more. Then we had an amazing Restoration lesson with him, which he just soaked up.
The second amazing lesson was with Otilio and Maria. Elder Swan found them on his exchange and when we went back to teach them this week, Maria had read the entire Restoration pamphlet twice. She said right when she read it the first time that she felt a sincere desire to want to learn more. The Spirit was already testifying to her of the truthfulness of these things! Otilio and her both said that recently they've been trying to bring themselves and their family closer to God because they knew that they would need his help in all things. When we told them that the Book of Mormon would help them do just that, they promised us that as they went on their trip to Texas this week that they'd read and pray about it. I'm excited to follow up on that with them!
On top of all those, its been a great week! We had Zone Training this week, which is always fun. President Weston surprised all of us by showing up, so it was great to see him again and to learn from his counsel. Our Zone is great. I love being with these Elders and Sisters. They're so much fun and their faith is so strong! I'm excited for our back-to-back exchanges with the elders in Yankton and Vermillion, SD this week. Its going to be a lot of fun!
I hope you had a great week!
I love you!
Lots of love,
Elder Zack Paddock

Few studies have been done about the link between food and acne. Because of that, many dermatologists continue to believe that there is no link to prove that greasy foods or dairy cause acne.
Drinking lots of water is one of the best treatments for almost all skin ailments. Without the proper amount of water in your skin, your cells cannot rebuild your body properly and have a tougher time eliminating waste. A buildup of toxins in the skin will likely result in acne.
Stress and Vitamin B-2
Stress is a leading cause of nasty acne breakouts. Vitamin B-2 has been shown to reduce stress and its impacts on the body. You can get additional B-2 from foods like whole grains, fish, milk, eggs, meat and leafy green vegetables, such as spinach.
Foods with Vitamin B-3
B-3 has been shown to improve circulation, enabling your blood to carry more nutrients, hydration and oxygen to the skin. You can get additional vitamin B-3 from foods like peanuts, eggs, avocados and lean meats. B-3 also helps to reduce cholesterol levels.
Foods High in Antioxidants
Foods with high levels of antioxidants (fresh fruit and vegetables) help fight against free radicals that attack the body. Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant and can be found in peanuts, almonds, sunflower seeds, broccoli and vegetable oils. Zinc is another powerful antioxidant and is recommended by the Mayo Clinic to help fight acne. Foods that are high in zinc include eggs, whole grains and mushrooms.
Food Allergies
Most of the scientific research completed in relation to food and acne has been to link between food allergies with acne. Pay attention to what you eat, and the subsequent reactions after eating those types of foods. You could also have allergy tests performed by your doctor to find out what specific foods you are allergic to. It's an after-the-fact approach, but avoiding foods you are allergic to will help to clear acne.

He was best known for the roles he played in "Dirty Dancing" and "Ghost".
Demi Moore, Swayze's co-star in the huge movie hit Ghost, also joined those paying tribute to the actor today, saying his 'light will shine forever'.
In the film the actress, 46, played Molly Jensen, the widow of murdered Sam Wheat.
She said: 'Patrick you are loved by so many and your light will forever shine in all of our lives.'

Here's a recipe worthy of a blog entry. I got it off a box of Mueller's Pasta Sea Shells at least a year ago, maybe longer. The tuna noodle casserole I used to make was bland and boring. This one zings it up a bit and it sure is good. Then again, you can't really go wrong with any meal that has potato chips on top of it!
1 Tbsp margarine or butter
1 medium onion, chopped
1 can (10-3/4 oz) condensed cream of mushroom soup
1 1/4 cups milk
1 tsp worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp prepared mustard
1/4 tsp pepper
2 cups (8oz) shredded cheddar or American cheese
1 can (6oz) tuna, drained and flaked
1 cup frozen peas*
8 oz (1/2 package) Mueller's Sea Shells, cooked and drained**
1/2 cup crushed potato chips
In 2-quart saucepan melt margarine over medium-high heat. Add onion; cook, stirring 3 minutes. Stir in soup, milk, worcestershire sauce, mustard and pepper; stirring constantly, bring to a boil. Remove from heat. Stir in cheese until smooth. Add tuna and peas. In 2-quart casserole combine tuna mixture and Sea Shells. Sprinkle with potato chips. Bake in 350F oven 25-30 minutes or until heated through.
*I omit peas since none of us like them.
**I use an entire box of Sea Shells and do not double the rest of the recipe. It seems to turn out fine this way.
The weather turned cooler today...now in the low 70's instead of the low 90's. I think our high today was 72F. Beautiful ,and again, it makes me miss home. I spoke to my dad this afternoon and he said all of the leaves are off the trees now. I guess winter is on it's way!

Kasko Provides Transparency for Haddonfield Tax Payers
Haddonfield Commissioner Jeff Kasko announced that the borough will hold a community Budget meeting. The meeting is scheduled for Thursday, July 22 at 7 p.m. at Haddonfield's borough hall. This is just another way Commissioner Kasko is following through on his pledge of transparency.
"This is an excellent opportunity for the tax payers to gather and ask questions about how their property tax dollars are spent. It is also an opporuntity for our residents to learn about unfunded state mandates and how they impact our property taxes in the borough."
said Kasko.
Tax payers should come with their questions and expect to leave not only with answers but a better understanding of municipal finance.
The Public hearing to adopt Haddonfield's budget will be Tuesday, July 27 at the Commission meeting.

Dawn of another day. The redness warmed the eastern horizon, as the last true magician in the world greeted the new day, as he had greeted so many before.
He felt old. He was old, far older than anybody else who was still alive. Magic had a way of preserving a person's body – at least if you were a real magician, rather than those charlatans of the Magic Circle.
He felt the rays of the sun on his face, as he closed his eyes, and felt his power restored, for at least one more day. Another day, in a world where magic was almost dead. He was the last person keeping the tradition alive. And when he died there would no longer be any magic in the world.
That was not the way which it once had been. Once he had been one among, if not many, at least a few. The Magi had been found all over the world, using their magic to help and guide mankind. Well, most of them had. There had always been a few bad apples. But they had all died, or been killed.
What was his name? He could no longer recall what name he was supposed to be using at the moment, he had used so many over the years. He had it written down somewhere. But it wasn't his real name. Real names had power, so you did not reveal them, otherwise people might have power over you.
Not that he had any enemies anymore. The last one had died a long, long time ago. He had been called… well, his enemy had been the Red Magus, a man who had changed his name many times over the years. He had started out as an enemy, back in the old times when duels in magic had often ended in death. But, by the end, he had been nothing more than a rival, although never a friend.
The Red Magus had died of old age. The magic had failed him, and he had died. Or perhaps he had simply lost the will to live.
Five hundred years ago he had fought with the Red Magus, one of the great fights of the legends of magic. It had been high on the Pennines, during the heart of a thunderstorm. Had they brought the storm on purpose? The old wizard could no longer recall. It was possible that the clash of mystical energies had been enough to cause the storm.
Thunder had rumbled above the two of them, and lightning had flashed, as the two mages had shouted their hatred for each other. They had hurled their own forms of lightning at each other. Magic, pure magic, had been their weapon of choice, forced into balls and hurled at the other.
What had the fight been about? The old Magus could not recall. It must have been of deadly importance to them at the time, for them to have sought to kill the other. But what did it matter now, when all wonder had leached out of the world?
The old man wished that he was in the past, before that fight had begun. He would not fight now. Now, whatever the argument was, he would resolve it through peaceful means.
He had fought with all manner of strange things, in the past, not only with the Red Magus. He had done battle with woodwoses who had lived wild in the woods, and had worn no clothing at all. He had slain several of those, and now he wished that he hadn't. Back in the past he had thought that they were nothing but savages. But now he knew a lot more than he had before, and that those woodwoses had been the last members of an offshoot of mankind which was now extinct. No doubt, if some of them were still alive, they would have been named as Homo neanderthalensis; or possibly even Homo erectus. It did not matter now that they were all dead.
He had fought against dragons in the east, in the area called Anatolia. He had sought out those creatures, like the vain fool which he had been in the past. He had desired to be seen as a great hero, like St George of legend. But it had almost got him killed. It had perhaps been the closest that he had come to death, before now.
The creatures had been like huge lizards, but without wings, as some legends had given them. Including the tail the dragon had been some thirty feet long.
He had fought it with magic, fearing that it would breathe fire on him. But no fiery breath issued out of the creature's mouth. So he had moved in for the kill, drawing the sword which he had carried at the time, thinking that it was almost too easy.
But, although he had slain the beast, it had bitten him. He had not thought anything was wrong, initially. But there must have been some venom in the saliva of the beast, for he had been struck down with great illness, and for a while he had thought that he would perish. That had been the last time that he had gone looking for dragons. They were nearly all gone now, anyway. All of the legendary creatures were gone, or going, just in the same way that magic was slipping away from the world. Perhaps one could not survive without the other.
He could no longer recall his training, beyond the fuzziest of details. He knew that he had been trained in the secrets of the ancients, and that it had been some old man with a beard who had taught him how to wield those powerful mystical forces. But he could not recall the name of that ancient wizard, or in what era he had been trained, or even in what country that training had taken place. The magician did not know what nationality he was. He did not know where he had been born.
Nationality was fluid, anyway, depending on the time. People who once might have called themselves Pomeranian now defined themselves as being Polish. Picts had become Scots. There was one Italian nation, replacing Venetia and Lombardy and the other kingdoms of the past.
He had seen empires rise and empires fall in his too long life. He had travelled in the great empire of Lithuania, who few people outside of Lithuania now seemed to be aware about. He had journeyed in Poland when that land had been great. But not only had both of those empires ended, but the countries, for a while, had even been wiped off the map.
He looked across the sea, at the great American Empire, and he knew that it would soon falter and fade away, replace by something else. It was the nature of empires to fail. Even the great empire of Rome had ended, in the end, collapsing in on itself, unable to resist the 'barbarians' from outside.
The magician walked back into his house, away from the dawn. He had what might have been described as a hut, high up on the eastern flanks of the Pennines. There were no other houses close to that of the magician. But that was the way that he liked it. In his old age he did not want other people around him. Not normal people, anyway, those who had no magic in their lives, and who refused to believe in such things. Perhaps that was why magic had died out – the fact that nobody believed in it, anymore. A lot of it had always been as much about belief as about arcane secrets. You really had to believe that the magic was going to work, unless you wanted it to fail.
He paused at the door to his three room house, and he stared over the landscape laid out before him. He could see a road in the distance. When he had first moved into the house, at this time of day there had never been any traffic on the road. But now he could see the morning sun reflecting of the windshields of cars. The world got faster and faster, as it filled up ever more with people, overflowing with more mouths to be fed.
There were no longer any secret places in the world. Everywhere on the face of the earth had been discovered. People had even explored Antarctica, a continent which people had not even heard of until around two centuries ago. All mystery had gone: the Gobi Desert had been explored; Machu Picchu had been discovered; the rain forests of Africa had been penetrated; Angkor Wat was now only a tourist attraction. Mankind had gone down into the deepest trench in the sea. Men had even walked on the surface of the moon. There could be no magic without mystery. And the mystery had all but gone.
There were still a few secret creatures prowling around the edges. He had heard of such creatures, and he knew that they were true, in the same way that magic was true, as long as people believed in them. But soon the legends of such creatures would die, and they would be no more. Just like magic.
He stood in the doorway of his house, looking out to the east. In the distance his still-sharp eyesight could see some sort of housing development – not that people really wanted to come to the north, anyway. But, even here, he could see modernity slowly encroaching on him.
The wind rustled the robes which he wore. They were plain grey robes. He had no need of mystic symbols on them. Such things were only ever for show.
He wore no sandals on his feet. He liked to feel the earth beneath him: the warm baked ground at the height of summer; the dew on grass in the morning; even the numbing cold of a winter's snow. He could feel the cool morning breeze on his feet, and it felt good. But those people in their cars would feel no breeze, as they isolated themselves from the world around them, cutting themselves off from the wonder of the world in their little glass and metal automobiles.
He stroked his beard. It was long and snowy white, just like a wizard's should be. But, for a long time, it had been black, when he had been in the fullness of his power. But that had been a long time ago. It seemed that everything important had been a long time ago. All of the good things were only alive in his memories.
He did not move out of the doorway. A doorway was a magical place; he was neither outside nor inside of his house, but straddling both worlds.
He wondered if it was safe to leave his house, as he now contemplated doing. Once upon a time some of the items inside the house had been powerful artefacts: a ring of wisdom, a cloak of invisibility, a carved staff which had once belonged to Morgan le Fay. But that had been a long time ago. Just as the magic had faded from the world so it had faded from those items. Now all that they were, were a nicely carved oaken staff; an old cloak which had suffered from moth grubs; and a plain gold ring with no powers to it at all.
It was time. Time for him to go. He mourned for the world which had been lost, and would never come again.
He raised his hands up high, over his head, and let the magic flow out of him. With in an instant the years which his mystic power had kept at bay caught up with him. His body turned to dust, blowing away with the wind, leaving no trace of him behind.

On 29 May, 1953 Sir Edmund Hillary reached the summit of the world with Sherpa Tenzing Norgay and, along the way, discovered one of his lifelong missions – giving back to the people of the Everest region. During one of his early expeditions, Sir Ed asked a Sherpa, "If there was anything I could do for the Sherpa people, what do you think that would be?" The Sherpa immediately replied:
"Burra Sahib (big Sahib), our children have eyes but they are blind and cannot see. Therefore, we would want you to open their eyes by building a school in our village of Khumjung."
|Sir Ed and friends building a bridge
Touched, he immediately set to work on raising funds for it by happily redirecting a lot of the media attention he was getting from his mountaineering achievements. Since 2011, when Active Adventures began offering trekking tours in Nepal, we've been fortunate to see first-hand Sir Ed's outstanding contribution to the local Sherpa people and today his legacy is stronger than ever.
Sir Ed didn't stop at just building that first school. For the next 60 years, he helped build 26 more schools and the Himalayan Trust he founded and led until his death in 2008 continues to provide ongoing education support through school stationery supplies, building maintenance, student scholarships and training and support for teachers in this remote region.
|Himalayan Trust: 27 schools and counting!
Active Adventures support the Himalayan Trust through a donation made on behalf of every client who travels with us to Nepal. For the 60th anniversary of Sir Ed's summit of Mt. Everest, we're joining the celebration of his achievements and of the Kiwi spirit by trying to fundraise a further NZ$3000 for the Himalayan Trust this month. We've made an initial donation of NZ$1000, and we pledge to match the next $1000 of donations made on our GiveALittle page page by 19 June.
|Visitng a local school during one of our Himalayan tours
"I have had a full life with much happiness and a share of sadness. I have little cause for complaint. If however, some people in New Zealand feel I have made some contribution to the prestige of my country then they could best demonstrate this by continuing modest support to the Himalayan people I have worked with for so many years." – Sir Edmund Hillary.

Thoughts on patience
...Our Lord tells us, "Learn of Me to be meek and humble of heart; and you shall find peace to your souls."
Each day let us try anew to be patient, and still more patient. If we live with disagreeable people, who offend and even insult us, we must take no notice of them. Let us only think of ourselves.
Three rules. Never speak when you are angry. Never lift your voice. Never say a disagreeable word.
In the home an impatient person is a devil. He is unhappy himself; he makes others unhappy; he commits countless sins.
A patient person is an angel, is loved by everyone, is happy himself and is loved by God....

What can one say about the 30-06 other than it is truly a versatile cartridge with a lot of potential left to discover when you consider the new technologies of today with powders, better brass, very good primers and of course premium bullets.
As many of you on this forum know I have done some testing this last spring with accuracy and velocity potential of the 30-06 and had some good success with above average results.
I have been working with the 30-06 in seven different rifles of my own and a number of other 06's belonging to friends over the last 28yrs and two of mine were customs and four were factory rifles. With my seven rifles (not counting other rifles) I have fired (according to what records I kept over the years) 4,328 hand-loaded rounds through 30-06 rifles. Don't recall nor will I guess on the number of factory rounds I have shot. There were more hand-loaded rounds fired but when I first started I did not keep consistent and in some cases usable records.
I have used the following bullets in my test at the range and on game and they are as follows:
Sierra Game Kings 125gr, 150gr, 165gr, 180gr, 200gr, 220gr
Nosler Partition 150gr, 165gr, 180gr
Nosler Ballistic tip 150gr, 165gr, 180gr
Nosler Accubond 150gr, 165gr, 180gr
Speer 130gr Hp
Speer Hot Core 150gr, 165gr, 180gr, 200gr
Speer Bear Claw 165gr
Barnes Original 250gr
Barnes X 165gr
Barnes TSX 165gr, 168gr, 180gr
Hornady interlock 165gr,
Remington Cor-lock 165gr, 180gr
Woodleigh Protected Point 180gr, 240gr
I say all of the above so as to discuss a bullet I have started to work with which if accurate will in my limited experience with the 30-06 compared to others in the shooting world, be a bullet that will elevate the performance level of the 30-06 on game of all size. It should not only by it's design make it possible for the 30-06 to function consistently on big game (even dangerous game) but also give the hunter a higher level of confidence in the field.
Over the next two years I will be testing at the range for accuracy, also in different media and in the field on game. The bullet I am testing is the North Fork Technologies 165gr, 180gr and 200gr. The rifle will be my Mark V Custom with a 24" barrel.
These are expensive bullets (1.60 a peace after shipping) but I really like their idea in design and will see just how they do. If they meet my perceived expectations they will surely increase the level of performance of my 30-06 on big and dangerous game.
I will begin with the 165gr not only at the range but in the field this year on dear and hogs and will use the 180gr and 200gr on game in the field on trips starting next fall.

This week we got our reminder notice to resubscribe to TIME magazine, even though I ordered a one-year subscription last September. I'm sure they will bombard me with useless reminders until until then.
TIME magazine is a whole lot different from the TIME I remember years ago. It's younger, hipper, leaner and has shorter words. And shorter stories. And shorter paragraphs. Shorter words and more photos, graphs and illustrations. Joel Stein writes the Awesome Column in the back of the mag, but I need not mention his name since he already has a million followers on Twitter, so you probably already know who he is. Can all of it be reduced to Twitter Feed? I guess so, for the ADHD society we live in. Lacking much depth, its a quick breakfast table sort of read, and I like it, except for one thing.
This reminder comes with a special offer that makes me, well, scoff.
I don't know if you've noticed, but women make up roughly 50% of the people around here. Yet my unscientific measure of my TIME magazines show 99% of the columnists in a given issue are men. (Read that again, please.)
Not that there's a problem with men. Men are good writers. They have interesting things to say. Most men, in general, are good at something. But are you watching the demographics, Donald? Women are making the purchasing decisions at home. Women also work "outside" the home.
But somehow, your magazine — which proposes to "value and support education" — might want to include the voices of more diverse bylines from – I don't know- let's just call them women. And it can be done without turning it into a "women's magazine."
On official stationery, Publisher Donald Fries writes from the Time Life Building in Rockefeller Center. Am I interested in a "Mystery Gift" and 92% off the cover price. What is this, a box of cracker jacks? What is this Mystery Gift be? A toaster? If my husband writes the check, does he get the same gift?
If I join now, I also get free access to the TIME archive: 80 years of material since 1923. And the free weekly email newsletter. Really? Wow. Thanks Donald, but I already have a TIME app — and its pretty slow to load — so I'll pass.
I used to love TIME. Liberal-leaning, respectable journalism at one time has decended into decoder-ring land. You are making your job ten times harder than you need to. Please, keep the toaster. Devote more TIME and SPACE to intelligent women's voices. On staff.
And fire your marketing guys.

 Its really nice to read your blog. I had a question about joining the police forces. I know that the age limit for taking IPS exams is 30. Is there any provision for well educated post graduates above 30 to serve the police professionally in any way ? For example, if the person in question is a computer scientist, is it possible to join the cyber squad ? Please let me know what the possibilities are for people above 30 years to serve the police force.

Thanks

Junior year of high school. History and Use of Magic 2. I had seen Benjamin (usually just called Benji) around school off and on through my high school career, but he hadn't been in a single one of my classes until now. He had top grades in all of the magic subjects so everyone questioned him about homework and explanations of magicians and wizards, dates, and events. He was always happy to help someone out even though there was no evidence that he knew or used any real magic.
However, today, he came late to class with a dead look in his eyes, like he hadn't slept in days and spent most of that time crying. If anyone else noticed it, they didn't say anything, because they continued to ask him questions as usual and bother him about his homework. He responded with a faint smile and quiet answers.
High school students can be utterly savage. I shrugged, none of my business really, too much energy to ask about anyway.
After class, I waited until everyone had moved out of the room to go to my next class; fighting the flow of traffic was too tiring. I noticed that Benji was still sitting at his desk, next to mine.
"Hey, uh," I began, "You know class is over, right?"
"Over…" he glanced up at me as I slung my satchel over my shoulder. "…right." He then packed his things and stood.
The ten-minute passing periods were awful in all respects in a school of 1200. People dodged through the halls, bumping and tripping over each other, some in a hurry to get across the school to their next class, others to find their lover, or any person willing to waste a moment, and make out until right before class started. Benji followed me to my next class, which we also shared, Magical Chemistry.
I kept an eye on him during the period and wondered if he was even paying attention. I made sure my pencil took extra notes for him by casting a little "extra detail" spell on it. It wasn't any more work for me, so I figured I might as well.
After the lesson, I packed my things and reminded him to go to his next class which was different from mine. He slowly packed and stood obediently while I stood over him and watched him. I frowned. I usually didn't like interfering with people's personal problems, but I hated to see him mope more, so before he walked out of class I pulled him aside in the hall.
"Hey, are you okay? You seem kind of gloomy." I knew he would respond with "I'm fine" so I followed with, "It's okay to tell me you're not fine."
I saw a slight glimmer of life come back into his eyes. I knew he needed to talk this out. I pulled my wand out from under my shirt (we weren't supposed to have it on school premises) and quickly made magical copies of us. After telling me which class he was supposed to go to, I also made self-writing pencils for the copies and sent them ahead to class for us.
"I didn't know you knew such advanced skills," he commented as we sat down in the cafeteria.
"You learn a lot when you're lazy," I replied apathetically, "What's the matter? I've hardly ever talked to you, but it seems like everyone here is pretty oblivious to life. So, I figured I should ask (it's also a good excuse to skip class.)."
"You're going to laugh if I tell you," he sighed.
"You really can't say anything that would embarrass me, a bystander, too much."
He hesitated then began, "I had to dump a girl yesterday because she cheated on me."
I nodded knowingly like some sort of therapist. "I see. You really liked her?"
"I thought I did, but as I thought about it last night, I noticed all of the little things that were wrong in our relationship which made me feel worse." He placed his face to the table and sniffled. "How could I have been so stupid…" he moaned.
"Do you want to tell me how you found out she was cheating on you?" I asked purely out of curiosity and less for his concern.
He started in. "We had been dating since the beginning of Junior year and she told me that she loved little magic tricks. So, I decided to start studying them more intently by taking classes. I texted her two nights ago and said that I had a surprise for her. She didn't reply until yesterday when she said 'cool wanna show me?' So, I took that as my cue and did some transportation magic to appear where she was, out of a murder of crows, with her favorite coffee in hand. When I appeared, she was sitting and sharing a smoothie and breakfast with some random punk guy! They were drinking out of the same smoothie with the same straw!" He spread his arm out wide, "That's gross! Think of the bacteria? And he had his arm around her shoulder like they had been dating for a while! Worse yet, she didn't even seem surprised to see me! She only said 'Oh' like it was some trite inconvenience then introduced me to the other guy whom she introduced as her real boyfriend. I didn't know what to say. I was shocked."
"Did you get the crows out of the shop?" I asked in a worried tone—those poor restaurant people…
"I said, 'well I guess we're not dating anymore…' and you know what she said?"
"Seriously, the birds…"
"'We never were!' I can't believe it. I just can't! Then I went home and thought about all of the little things I noticed that should have told me…"
I slapped my hand on the table. "Benji…did you take the birds out of the restaurant?"
He had his head in his hands. He paused and seemed to think for a moment, "I don't remember."
I shook my head. "See this is why people consider magic to be an outdated problem-causer. What are you going to do now?"
"I…I guess I'll just move on."
"Okay, that's good."
"I'll find a different girlfriend."
"Okay…is that a good idea? Cause it doesn't sound like one."
"Why not? I've always had a girlfriend since 8th grade, I don't know what I'd do without one…"
I grimaced. I'd never even dated once how could this plain-looking nerd date so often? And how many girlfriends has he gone through? I stole a glance at my watch and noticed that it was 10 minutes until the end of class so I stood to go.
Benji was mumbling to himself about stuff which I couldn't understand. I lifted my leg over the bench and stood quickly. He looked up and said, "Hey thanks for…wait I don't know your name…"
"Molly," I replied sullenly, slightly worried about his becoming an abandoned puppy following me because of this.
"Thanks for listening to me, Molly. See you in class…"
I nodded then transported to the upstairs for my next class.
Thanks for giving this story a shot! If you leave a comment, I'd like to know why you decided to read this story!

Spruce Reach Island: The Oregon Coast's Secret Rhododendron Garden, Part III
The Hinsdale Estate, Dean Creek, Near Reedsport
John M. Hammond
Bury Lancashire
Gordon K. Wylie
Creswell, Oregon
Part I in the Fall 2007 issue laid the historical foundation for the Hinsdale Estate garden. Part II described the development of the garden. Part III in the Spring 2008 issue concludes the series with a report by Gordon Wylie on Garden Visits, Discussions, Progress and Future.
Garden Visits, Discussions, Progress and Future
One of the authors first saw this garden several years ago in the early summer of about 2000. Spearheaded by the Siuslaw Chapter, ARS, a group met at the Hinsdale property to explore the possibility of restorative work in the garden, which then appeared - though the bloom period was largely over - a fairly impressive plant collection. That project, however, languished because of the scope of work required, limited resources and modest interest by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). At that time, vehicles could be driven to the main garden across a wooden bridge spanning the slough paralleling the highway. Flanked by mature trees and rhododendrons, a paved driveway ending in a circular turnaround and generous parking area led to the house and garden.
In the spring of 2003, following contact and arrangements we made with the BLM, both of us made an exploratory trip to see the garden in the company of BLM representative Bob Golden, Umpqua Park Ranger and Site Manager for Bureau holdings in the region. Those properties have the overall designation of "Dean Creek Elk Viewing Area," and include tracts both north and south of the highway encompassing a substantial area.
A good number of plants were in flower on this occasion, making it much easier than on the earlier visit to evaluate the nature of the plantings and the garden's potential. The Bureau had recently cut back grass, blackberries and other undergrowth in anticipation of our visit, thus facilitating viewing individual plants. Unfortunately, not long before, highway workers had run heavy equipment onto the bridge leading to the house, resulting in breaking its supporting structure so that the only access possible was on foot. More of this later, but because the largest portion of the garden is an island surrounded on three sides by a slough rising and falling with the tides, with the fourth side defined by the Umpqua River, access for evaluation or any other work in the largest portion of the garden has been a major issue with the unsafe bridge.
At the time of that first joint visit we knew almost nothing about the garden's creation or the Hinsdale family. As will be apparent from the first portions of this series, a fairly complete picture of the garden's history has since emerged, along with some fascinating glimpses into pioneering business efforts to wrest entrepreneurial earnings from the area's abundant natural resources.
Probably our primary initial reaction was to the size and maturity of the plant material, which is equal to or greater than the largest plants in the rhododendron gardens at Crystal Springs in Portland and Hendricks Park in Eugene. In addition to the rhododendrons, a significant collection of very large and thriving camellias surrounds the house, and a number of magnolias and other specimen trees revealed themselves among the plantings. On this visit a major clue to the rhododendrons' origins came with identifying many as English hybrids grafted on Rhododendron ponticum rootstock, the latter betrayed by large suckers competing with the grafted hybrids. Though we could see a great number of sizable rhododendrons east of the house across the slough, that area was quite overgrown and inaccessible at the time of this first visit.
Our preliminary assessment was that the plantings were of historical significance and that despite plant loss over the years the substantial number remaining justified restoration efforts. In addition to the vigorous brambles and other undesirable undergrowth, and root stock suckers, the tree canopy was overgrown to the point of preventing sufficient light reaching the plants. But despite that and their having had no supplemental water in summer or other care beyond occasional grass and brush removal, the large number of rhododendrons, camellias and other companions appeared both well established and growing in conditions very much to their liking. As a result of these observations, we outlined remedial steps needed to prevent further deterioration in our conversations with Bob Golden. He was understandably cautious about any commitments, given limited funding levels and the Hinsdale property's low priority among the many demands of other BLM responsibilities. We concluded our discussion by agreeing to forward our observations and recommendations in writing to the Umpqua Field Office of the BLM, and to further explore how the garden had come to exist at this location.
Research into the garden's history and correspondence with the BLM office continued during the next couple of years, and in late 2004 we were advised many of the remedial steps recommended had been accomplished. A second joint visit was scheduled for the spring of 2005, and on a very wet day in early May we met Bob Golden and his supervisor, Kathy Wall, at the garden. The bridge's condition had further deteriorated, and we were thus confined to the area east of the slough across from the house. A substantial amount of clearing had by then been accomplished in that area, allowing close examination of those rhododendrons. The main part of the garden on the island was surveyed with the aid of binoculars, where it was apparent the same substantial effort in clearing had taken place, and some start made on raising the tree canopy. Plus we saw no sign of the numerous R. ponticum suckers so prevalent two years earlier. Plants were responding with a wealth of flowers, and it's likely some were blooming for the first time in many years.
Equally gratifying, the BLM representatives were far more positive in their approach and clearly interested in hearing our reactions to both the impact of work done and also options for further preservation and improvements to the garden. Bureau staff also inquired about the possibility of obtaining grants to fund work because their resources were limited in terms of low priority remedial projects. We answered the ARS does have a modest grant program from which some funds might be made available for this project. We also suggested that we might secure volunteer help for tree removal by a skilled tree faller and that assembling work parties from among Oregon members of the ARS to provide expert hands on work and ongoing advice in caring for the ornamental plantings was another possibility.
Later in 2005 the Umpqua Field Office of the BLM provided us copies of an "Appraisal Report" done in 1975, a "Historical Assessment" completed in 1996 and a digital copy of plant record cards for the garden found in the Hinsdale house. The reason for the low priority status of the property with the BLM became apparent in reading those reports, particularly the Historical Assessment, which concluded the house and landscape "...do not meet any of the criteria for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places." With regard to the garden, while the Historical Assessment correctly noted plant loss and deterioration due to many years of little or no maintenance, the adverse conclusion appeared mostly based on the writer's expectations for a formal garden layout encompassing successively blooming plant species, and a lack of familiarity with the planned elements of an English woodland rhododendron garden.
With a view to maximizing the data content of the information provided by the BLM, partly in digital and partly in hard copy formats, we created two databases that could be used to generate specific reports. This approach required many hours of input work, but enabled printing out detailed reports and some preliminary draft mapping of the garden. A more comprehensive image thus began to emerge of the garden as originally planned and of its content. In essence, that picture confirmed the on-site assessments we made in 2003 and 2005. At its prime the garden contained an important collection of plants, of which two are likely to be as old as any rhododendrons in cultivation in Oregon. Though considerable work is needed to rectify the ravages of time, the basic framework of the garden still exists at a level presenting a realistic opportunity to restore the garden in a way that reflects the style in which it was originally designed.
We then wrote to Umpqua Field Office Manager Elaine Raper stating our disagreement with the conclusion of the 1996 report, along with details of why the garden style was in fact a deliberate rendering of the "woodland style." We were very pleased with the response accepting our position and noting the garden represents "...a potentially important historic resource - a cultural landscape." In addition, Ms. Raper said the Bureau intended to review their finding that the garden was not eligible for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places and that Dr. Steve Samuels, their cultural resource specialist, would be handling this aspect. The Bureau change in designation to potential eligibility for registration means that the property will be managed the same as if it were on the National Register of Historic Places, and is a substantial step forward in ultimately restoring the garden.
2006 brought more frequent visits to Spruce Reach by interested ARS Oregon members, including Galen Baxter, whose knowledge from working in the garden during its original planting and plant identification skills proved invaluable. Another participant, long-time and experienced rhododendron enthusiast Gene Cockeram from the Siuslaw Chapter, has contacts with the garden going back to delivering milk to the Hinsdales as a young man. On a briskly cold and frosty day in mid February the Oregon contingent went through the entire garden with Bob Golden and other BLM staff marking trees for limb removal to raise the canopy, along with other trees to be totally removed. Another full day on May 1st focused on identifying plants, and resulted in putting names to a good many rhododendrons, all of which were marked by hanging tags and ribbons for later more permanent marking. A few more were identified during a later visit in August, during which we were accompanied by Jennie Sperling, botanist for the BLM.
Most significantly and in line with the change to potential eligibility as "Historic," the Bureau of Land Management has greatly increased its efforts in and for the garden during this past year. Site Manager Bob Golden, in addition to his past courtesies in enabling us to tour the garden and providing information, must be credited for finding the means to clear a great deal of blackberry and other undesirable growth from the garden floor, and in making a notable start on tree limb removal. The improved appearance with this work is quite visible, and will undoubtedly be reflected by further improvements in the rhododendrons' health. Jennie Sperling has spent many hours and days in the garden, creating a record with digital photos of the plants and their flowers. She is very enthusiastic about plant identification and proper naming for each specimen, and has been a delightfully inquisitive companion in those endeavors.

Furthermore, the BLM has assigned a distinct number to each member of the ornamental plantings, which is reflected in the garden by a durable metal tag with that number attached to each specimen. This will form the basis for a permanent record identifying individual plants, and is further bolstered by a map showing the specific location of trees, plants and other garden subjects. A global positioning unit was used to assure an accurate map, and one which will allow locating specific material in the years ahead. The mapping work was done by Dr. Steve Samuels, their cultural resource specialist, who has kindly furnished us a CD-R containing the map and pictures taken during 2006. This work, together with the supporting databases, will become part of the ultimate submission for historical designation.
Yet another signal of the renewed commitment to Spruce Reach Garden by the BLM came in October of 2006 when we learned from Bob Golden and Jennie Sperling that removal and replacement of the damaged bridge leading from the highway to the main garden had been approved. A precise timetable for that work is not available at this writing; however, removal of the old bridge took place in the summer of 2007, with construction of the replacement to be determined. When complete, this will remedy a major impediment to progress due to the limited access noted earlier in this article. And it further demonstrates the very real long-term change of direction at the Bureau upon behalf of the garden.
As can be seen, a good working relationship with the BLM has been established with frequent communication back and forth between staff and several interested ARS members. The Bureau has taken important steps toward reclaiming the garden and ultimately making it more available. An opportunity is thus presented for genus Rhododendron enthusiasts to support restoration and preservation of a garden exemplifying the history and origins of rhododendrons in the Pacific Northwest, and which led to these spectacular plants becoming much sought after and important ornamentals in our gardens.

The Hinsdale garden at Spruce Reach is a very different setting from a city park, and one might think it isolated from such a consumer base. But there is an already well-known and very popular public attraction in the same area with the Dean Creek Elk Viewing Area immediately across the highway from the garden. Indeed, the opportunity to observe elk and other wildlife in this area of over a thousand acres features prominently in promotional material offered by the City of Reedsport, and it seems likely the City may be interested in adding the garden as yet another allurement.
The elk and wildlife site is managed jointly by the BLM and the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, and the Bureau has a resident host in the home at the eastern end of the habitat. The year-round resident herd of Roosevelt elk, numbering at times up to around a hundred animals, can be seen grazing and resting in the rich pastures along a three-mile stretch next to the highway. Portions are wetlands, and a large variety of birds, including waterfowl, are attracted here throughout the year. Cow elk utilize the adjoining woodlands away from the highway to the south for calving during mid to late spring. There are restroom facilities, off highway parking areas and several wide pullouts along the road right-of-way to facilitate leisurely enjoyment of the wildlife and scenery. In sum, this existing attraction and related amenities means some necessary infrastructure is already in place.
Currently the garden is classified by the BLM as an "administrative site" as opposed to a "recreation site," which means only special tours may be allowed, including visits and work parties such as those described in this article. The Bureau must first address issues of access, safety and other protected species in the area before opening the garden to the general public. We believe the garden's history, plant material, design and size of approximately ten acres justify it becoming established as a worthy destination point for visitors. The opportunity to add another major attraction for travellers along the scenic Umpqua River by refurbishing and maintaining Spruce Reach Garden, and solving the public access issues, is a worthwhile and achievable goal and should not be missed.
Though much remains to be done at Spruce Reach by way of restorative work, the plants have already responded to brush and tree clearing with better bloom and more robust annual growth. Because this is not a formal garden requiring intensive care, once the restorative work is completed it will do well with relatively routine maintenance. Members from the ARS Oregon Chapters could contribute their expertise for some of this maintenance, allowing them an opportunity to enjoy the garden at the same time. The location has excellent potential for chapter field trips and summer picnics, and will be a wonderful destination for learning about and experiencing the fruits of pioneering Oregon rhododendron growers by both the public and aficionados of the genus.
Spruce Reach Garden contains plants which were already mature during the early years of the ARS. Many have R. ponticum under stocks, and it is likely they were among the earliest plant shipments from England. Some probably represent the oldest rhododendron plants in the Pacific Northwest. The Bureau of Land Management has adopted a markedly different approach to the garden with increased efforts for restoration and access, and its potential for a historical designation may make additional resources available to the garden. They are interested in partnering with the ARS in these efforts, and the opening for rhododendron enthusiasts to build on this foundation should be pursued. It is an opportunity fully in accord with our Society Bylaws Purpose statement: "The ... encouragement of the culture of rhododendrons, including azaleas, and the increase of the general understanding of and interest in all aspects of these plants." A credo perfectly in line with the challenge at Spruce Reach.

Torino Travel Guide: Porto Palazzo
which makes it a labyrinth of food stalls to get lost in. It is also the most ethnically diverse
market in Turin, perfect for those harder to find and more unique items. Porto Palazzo is centered
in Piazza della Repubblica, only around the corner from the 1st century Roman ruins of Porta Palatina, the gate that was a major entrance to this once walled city. A rainbow of fruits and vegetables signal the seasons and cheese and bread aromas fill the air but there is so much more than food here.
Then there are the black iron and glass buildings. Chose to enter one of the several indoor parts of
this market and you will find the sights, and smells, of the fish and meat vendors. This is where you
will find whole swordfish on display, entire slabs of beef sliced into fillets right before your eyes,
and all the lovely dried and cured prosciutto and salami that Italy is so famous for. It is hard to choose
between the dozens of busy fish mongers and butchers but my advice is to just stop at one that catches your eye.
early and pick from the freshest foods for your dinner or to make a picnic to eat at the nearby
Royal Gardens (Giardini Reali). Each Saturday Porto Palazzo expands even more when a flea market
is added called the Balòn and the second Sunday of every month is the Gran Balòn where the flea market includes antique dealers.
hefty competition. The food vendors shout out calls to entice you to their stalls. To you and
me what might sound like like a traveling circus caller shouting, "Step right up, step right up
see the amazing bearded lady", the Italian market version is more like, "Signori e signore, scegliere
scegliere, prego prego, fresco fresco!", (Ladies and gentlemen, choose choose, welcome welcome, fresh fresh). On your first trip to this market several people shouting at you might be overwhelming but this is the
Torinèsi way of attracting your business. After a few minutes you will feel truly immersed into everyday Italian culture. Enjoy it!

Oh boy this market looks fabulous and so much bigger and better looking than any of the humble ones we have round here. The advantages of city living I suppose.
