|Standard Remington 870 and Mossberg 500
I almost titled this post "870 vs 500" but decided not to because they are both excellent reliable tools.
A massive amount of after market accessories are available for both. Most are super easy to install yourself.
What I wanted to post about is the minute differences between them that are of consequence when I use them.
The most notable difference, and this is very important in a defensive use situation, is the location of the manual safety. The Mossberg is on the top and the Remington is just in front of the trigger guard. The top safety is more ambidextrous. Lefties usually get the Left hand version of the 870.
I would be remiss if I didn't note that I have had the 870 jam on me once. But just once in hundreds of rounds. My older, more heavily used, Mossberg has never jammed in thousands of rounds.
--Either one is a great choice.

One morning I inadvertently stumbled upon a very easy and pretty healthy breakfast idea using my blender. I had to use up a very over-ripe banana and got experimental. My son fell in love with the creation, and it has now become an almost daily breakfast ritual for him. He even asked for his own blender for Christmas!!! (He's 12.)
Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie
1 ripe banana
2 T. peanut butter
1 T. honey
1 c. milk
(Measurements are approximate as I never measure - just dump!)
Place all ingredients in blender and blend till smooth - yep, it's that easy!
Be sure and rinse out the blender, as it's a bit tough to clean once that stuff dries on it!! :-)

I had such a wonderful experience this wek visiting a cousin of my dads whom he never knew or her him. She verified a lot of the family research I had gathered and I was able to add to hers. I was so overwhelmed by the fact she had photographs of those whom I had discovered. Above is my great grandfather's brother Jonathan Brown and his wife Sarah Best and their children.
We then went on to explore the family who had gone to Canada which was Jonathan and my great grandfathers sister Clara. It was. Clara who had married Harry Leonard Mole. In 1935 the electoral role shows Clara living with her son and daughter so possible Harry Leonard had died by then although I have found no record. I have since followed the family as far as 1992 when their son Harry Edmund Mole died in Priceville Ontario which has quite a history in itself. He lived in the schoolhouse with his wife Helen Rose. I have been unable to discover her maiden name as yet but I am led to believe she may still be alive in her 90's (as she was quite a bit younger) and maybe in the state of Florida as they also had a home in Hernando. It would be wonderful to find her before she dies but it may all ready be too late.
The photograph above is that of Harry Edmund's sister Ethel May Mole. She didn't marry but I have little information about her other than she survived her 82nd birthday.
Harry Edmund Mole appeared to have spent most of his working life working in the insurance business which is interesting as his uncle Jonathan back over in N.Ireland also became involved in insurance which appears to have increased his income giving him a better lifestyle than he had with the linen industry and when he became a small local shopkeeper.
I continue to try and find Harry Edmund Mole's widow and any other connection to the Brown/e and Mole family in USA and CAnada.

Our mission is to guide all individuals toward their health goals. Through preventing and treating injuries, by listening to and educating our community, we will empower our patients to achieve optimal performance.
Gary and Mary Jo Lusin forged their way from Missoula to Bozeman in 1981 to start Bozeman Physical Therapy Center. This physical therapy practice was centered on providing excellent physical therapy care to those in the Gallatin Valley and beyond at a reasonable cost.
Gary had just graduated from the University of Montana Physical Therapy Program, as a member of the first graduating class of this new program. Mary Jo, a graduate of Mayo Clinic Physical TherapyProgram, had been practicing since 1975.
The practice was originally located in the Medical Arts Building north of downtown Bozeman. In 2003 we moved to our current location on Ellis Street. This continues as our East Clinic, with the addition of the new Bozeman West Clinic in 2013.
In 1997 we re-branded the company to "Advanced Performance and Rehabilitation Services, Inc.," to emphasize a more accurate picture of the services we provide to the community. Our focus of providing the very best in preventive care, performance enhancement, and rehabilitative services through the highest trained quality therapists was better summarized in this new name.
In order for the practice to continue through the "next generation" and beyond, additional partners have come on board. This transition began in 2007 with John Sveen becoming a partner and has continued with the addition of Kevin Pancich in 2009, Kelsey Wadsworth in 2012, and John-HenryAnderson in 2014. Mary Jo and Gary continue to be active in the business' growth and goals for the future.

Time for another beginners watercolour tutorial! Today we're going to tackle something really important: shading!
So before we work on techniques, let's learn about the basic timeline of a painting. Every artist has a different way of doing things but this is mine.
1. Sketch out a picture.
2. Ink the picture using a fine black pen.
3. Do a basic wash with light colours. A wash is what it's called when you do one very thin coat with a base colour to work on.
4. Add shadows using a darker tone.
5. Once it's dry, add highlights using a white gel pen.
So really what I'm saying is that basic shading consists of a base colour, shadow and highlight. Blend those colours together and you're set. Just make sure that you keep in mind where the light source in your drawing is and shade according to that.
There are different ways to achieve shading as well. Below you can see a rose which has been shaded using different techniques.
Block shading is a technique where there is no blending of the shading at all, the colours are just painted on and left. This gives a cartoonish effect.
Blended shading is what the name suggests, where the shading is blended together.
It's much easier to blend colours together smoothly when they are wet on wet paper. Have a look at at the picture below, there is a splotch of blue and of red and then water between them.
Using a clean brush with a little water on it brush the two colours together and swirl them to mix.
It is much easier to blend seamlessly on wet paper than it is with dry.
A combination of block and blended shading works really well on areas such as hair.
To achieve that, use a blended shading technique while it's wet and then add block shading when it's dry.
You can really play with things like colour once you get comfortable with shading.
For example here is a regular line drawing…
And here is a shaded version…
Practice is the most important part of this. It takes a while but when you've done enough drawings you can get a feel for things. It sounds really cliche but it's very true! The more you practice drawing things the more it becomes muscle memory. Look at the world around you and look at where the light hits things, shading and colouring is a skill which is completely separate from drawing to learn so don't be discouraged and practice both of them separately and together!
I hope you found this helpful and I can't wait to see what you guys paint!

Blogging was one of the best decisions I've made in my life. It's one of the best signalling mechanisms.
I had a hunch going into 2013 that I would want to start a company, raise capital, attract talent, and ultimately ask for money from customers. In order to do that, I knew that I would have to showcase my brain. No one wants to give money to, work for, or be associated with an idiot. This challenge is even more pronounced in healthcare IT, in which my age works against me.
Blogging is one of the best ways to showcase one's brain in a format that anyone can digest and understand on their own time. Blogging is simple, universally accessible, and still incredibly powerful.
In addition to signalling, I've also discovered that blogging helps me collect and organize my thoughts, improve all facets of written and verbal communications, and calm my nerves. For the first time in my life, I carry fiduciary responsibilities. I am accountable to my investors, and I will do anything and everything to ensure that I return their capital 10x. That responsibility creates real pressure to perform. Since I don't watch TV or play video games anymore, I relax by writing and working out.
Thank you to everyone who's helped me get my writing career off the ground. I want to give special thanks to:
Dr. Robert Marcus, who's edited almost every post I've written since the start of the year.
Tushar Jain, who's held me accountable via stickk.com every week, and provided insightful, honest feedback on many posts.
Ryan Hoover, who's provided inspiration and given crucial feedback on a few key posts.
Dr. Travis Good, who's provided excellent guidance and mentorship as a fellow HIStalk blogger.
Tim, aka Mr. HIStalk, who's provided access to the best writing outlet and publication platform in healthcare IT on the Internet, HIStalk.

Puzzle Cloud (best free Android apps)
Puzzle Cloud provides preschoolers with nine puzzles to drag pieces into (fill the open spots). The app is well-done with nice graphics and there are no ads or in-apps, which is quite an exceptional thing for a free Android app. Recommended.
"Puzzle Cloud is a new puzzle game for kids. Yes, I know there are a gazillion puzzle type apps out there but I think this one brings the standard up a notch. Featuring very cute positive reinforcement, nine individual puzzles and a host of fun characters, Puzzle Cloud is a really pleasant experience. And remarkably, it's FREE!"
"The scenes in Puzzle Cloud include space, prehistoric earth, snow landscapes and the sea, (which is my favourite as there is a lion and a puppy on surfboards.) You have to tap and drag the correct character to the corresponding empty shape. Get it right first time and a host of floating, smiley hearts float upwards on screen.You can also pop the hearts like bubbles and they make a lovely 'pop' sound.
Make a mistake and one of the hearts will have a sad face. There are no time limits so the child can play until they get it right, a feature I like in apps for young kids as it encourages them to continue and not feel Mzl.viixupua.320x480-75 pressured.The graphics are bright and funny and perfectly designed for engaging little ones. And I like the simplicity of the app - the easy to use interface, the positive 'ding' sounds when you place the part correctly and the fact that it's not an easy- peasy puzzle app. Your child will have to think a bit about it - in the snow scene I got a couple of the penguins wrong first time. So it's a visual- spatial workout for tots too.
I've noticed that with jigsaw type puzzle apps, the Tot will play with the app once, complete the puzzles, then never look at it again. But that's not the case with this one and I think it's because of the positive reinforcement of the hearts, the child friendly design of the scenes, the characters, which include an astronaut, a knight, a fire breathing dragon AND the fact that it's not too easy. So I can see this app appealing to kids from ages 3 upwards to 6 (and possibly older).
I look forward to new scenes being added in future updates. Highly recommended and it's FREE! So you have absolutely no excuse not to download Puzzle Cloud. Go on, give it a go."

Traders ask us, "AbleTrend trading software works great on days when the market is trending, but how does it work on choppy days?" Dealing with choppy markets is a major concern for many traders. You may have often heard: "The trend is your best friend in trading," or "Don't trade choppy markets."
So what is a choppy market? What is behind its erratic movement? And how can you avoid it? If there is a way that you can deal with choppy markets well, your profit will take care of itself. The AbleTrend Guidance Chart is one of the best tools available to help you deal with choppy markets successfully.
A choppy market, also known as a sideways market, is the opposite of a trending market. In a choppy market the price trades within a very narrow range, bouncing up and down. A sideways market can experience periods of acute price fluctuation where the market shows no clear direction. Unfortunately, many traders get caught in such a market because it's difficult to identify a choppy market at its early stage. An acute fluctuation can sometimes be mistaken for a trend reversal.
In order to win in the market you need to maximize profits and minimize risk. AbleTrend trading software can help you minimize risk by a) spotting sideways markets early, b) helping you avoid entering some sideways markets, and c) guiding you to enter the market only after breakout signals indicate the market has changed from a sideways-moving market to a trending market. More and more, users of AbleTrend trading software rely on AbleTrend Guidance Charts as a tool to deal with choppy markets.
AbleTrend Guidance Charts work by using two time frames and 2 different AbleTrend algorithms all on the same chart: a longer time frame (9 minutes on the sample chart below), and a shorter time frame (3 minutes on the sample chart). The 9-minute time frame defines the direction of the market and tells us where the hidden support and resistance levels are on the higher time frame, while the 3-minute time frame helps us to enter at a better price as well as showing where the hidden support and resistance levels are on the lower time frame.
By using two time frames, the AbleTrend Guidance Chart helps to filter out some of the market noise. Only genuine trend reversals are given with clear buy or sell signals. The rules to follow are, you buy when a blue bar, large blue dot, and blue X all appear on the chart, and exit on the appearance of a large red dot. You sell when a red bar, large red dot, and red X all appear on the chart, and exit on the appearance of a large blue dot.
The chart below shows you how AbleTrend trading software helps to deal with a sideways market.
Following is an example of choppy market for swinging trading:
If you avoid choppy markets, profit will take care of itself during trending days! Once you know how to use AbleTrend software to identify choppy markets and recognize trading sweet spots (we'll show you how in the next mini-course tomorrow), you will never again worry about missing a big move or getting stuck in frustrating whipsaw markets.
One of our clients shared his disciplined way of trading with us. He only enters trades at ideal setup points. He never chases the market. When he misses a good entry point, he just lets the market go on without him. He says, "If I don't trade, at least I will not lose." He just moves on to do something else, such as watching movies on his DVD player.
This is a good method for all of us to consider using. Don't keep watching the computer monitor, desperate to make a move. Beware of trading under the influence of market impulse. Market impulse is dangerous. Remember: Discipline, Discipline, and Discipline.
There will always be good setups for good trades, so don't become obsessive over "the one that got away." And never chase the market movement after the fact. Always follow your predefined and well-tested entry and exit rules. When you are intent to enter a trade, briefly evaluate the Reward/Risk ratio. You may use STARC bands or Bollinger bands as your profit target – the reward, and the second level of Abletrend 2 dots as your stops to keep risk low. You need real-time stops as guidance to help you manage your trades. The detail settings and signals are objective, so the influence of emotions and market impulses can be reduced if you follow the signals with discipline. AbleTrend Guidance Charts can help filter out most of market noise. Here are some charts with the AbleTrend Guidance Chart applied in a choppy market, and then in a trending one:
AbleTrend Guidance Chart with a Choppy markets
When market trends come, they come with abundance. Only well-trained traders can catch them effectively. From hindsight it's easy to see the proper entry and exit points, but in real time there is too much information that hinders traders from making the right decisions in a timely manner. Does something exist that can help you make the right trading decisions consistently? Yes, AbleTrend trading software.
When a market has experienced an extended period of low volatility, it is just as important to know when not trade as it is to know when to trade.
In a low volatility whipsaw market condition, prices can run stops, but there is no assurance they will continue on meaningfully. A market can break out to take out the highs, and then turn around and take out the lows. Such markets will continually test the limits within a small range.
That kind of price action doesn't fit with traders' thinking:
After a number of failed attempts, traders' spirits are completely exhausted. They eat their losses and accept defeat just as the real opportunity walks by. Our goal is to delay action until the optimal entry presents itself. We want to show up at the right place at the right time. And this is what AbleTrend Guidance Charts help us to do.
There is a Chinese saying, 'Yi Gu Zuo Qi," which roughly translates to "The First Drum Roll to Rouse the Spirit." The story of how an ancient battle was won sheds light on how traders can similarly be worn down by market noise and made to be easily defeated.
The story tells of a battle between two forces, the Qi and the Lu. Qi was larger and more powerful than Lu, and Lu had little chance of defending itself.
As the battle approached, the Lu devised an ingenious strategy that allowed them to defeat the superior force. The Lu troops were instructed to wait until the third drum roll to engage in battle. As the battle began, the Qi soldiers rolled the drums beckoning the opposing force to fight, and then charged the battlefield. The Lu did not engage.
A second time, the Qi rolled the drums, and again the Lu did not engage.
Finally, upon the third rolling of the drums, to the surprise of the Qi, a fresh and eager Lu force swiftly defeated an exhausted opponent.
Following the battle, the Lu councilor explained why he said to wait for the third rolling of the drums: "Fighting needs spirit. Their spirit was aroused by the first roll of the drums, but was depleted by the second. And it was completely exhausted by the third. We started to attack when their spirit was exhausted. That's why we won."
How many times has the market made you feel like the exhausted force? Noise in the market beckons traders to take action, yet does not follow through with the expected price action. The trading range remains compressed and yet it is just wide enough for traders to lose money after repeated whipsaw moves.
The markets are unpredictable. Some days they trend and some days they are choppy. Some people wish for a crystal ball to help them deal with the market, but you don't need a crystal ball. You'll get along with the market well if you can train yourself to follow the signals of AbleTrend Guidance Charts with discipline.
May this ancient wisdom along with its modern application in today's market be the blessing for your trading success.
You can find more about how to define choppy markets with AbleTrend here.
Here is a video by Ron demonstrating how AbleTrend deals with choppy markets.

Love Yourself
What is love? Love comes in many forms, with many faces. Some argue once it meets you, it is everlasting while others view it as a visitor who can choose to stay a lifetime or one who comes and goes through time. Some, unfortunately so, do not even believe love exists. Whatever it is that you believe, love comes from within.
You must learn to love yourself. Care for yourself, be kind to yourself before you can love another in a healthy way. What you see in the world is a reflection of what you are and what you see in yourself. If you see love in the world, it is because you yourself are manifesting love. Love exists in everything if only you choose to see the love that exists everywhere.
Love is not just a feeling, it is energy, it is God (whatever you believe to be God, if you do), it is a higher power, it is you and it is me. It is everything we create and everything that ever was. It can not be created or destroyed. An infinite amount of love exists and it is only transferred. Practice self love and self care before you look to love outside of yourself as a way to ease your pain for if it does it will only be temporary. Only loving yourself will have the lasting effects of a lifetime and beyond. Love can cross the boundaries of time, space and even death if you believe.
Loving yourself does and can take work and practice and it is a mindset you may have to consistently remind yourself of depending on your current mindset but the more you find love within yourself the more you will see it in the world and the more it will surround you. Your life becomes your thoughts so make them good! Make them something you want to surround yourself with. Love yourself.

After searching, for what felt like forever, to find a CC cream that actually matched my skin tone, I finally found the perfect one. It was Nip + Fab's CC Cream in the shade light, just in case you never got around to reading that particular review (link here). But I felt like I had missed the entire BB trend in the process of solely searching for CC products, so of course I just had to turn my attention to the predecessor to the CC cream.
Whilst a CC traditionally stands for colour correcting, a BB cream instead targets blemishes and is often described a blemish balm. As I don't often wear heavy or full make-up on a daily basis these are the kind of products that I'm certainly open to trying out. After an extensive search and quite a bit of swatching in the beauty aisles, I found three BB creams that I just had to share with you! I hope this post will be helpful to those who like me, hadn't even considered venturing into the realm of BB creams or those who have a similar skin tone to myself that are looking for products that are light enough for them.
When I first started my quest to find a BB cream that would actually work for me and my skin tone, the first place that I headed to was the drugstore. There is such a wide array of BB creams from a variety of different brands at the drugstore right now but the one that I was instantly drawn to was this one from L'Oreal. L'Oreal actually have some really interesting takes on the BB/CC trends and what's even better about this product is the fact that you will never have to pay the full £9.99 price tag for it. It's always in some kind of deal at your local drugstore which means you will definitely be able to find it at a reduced price. I personally picked this up in one of the ever tempting store wide 3 for 2 deals a couple of months back but there is always a deal to take advantage of when it comes to this specific BB cream.
This also feels more like a skincare product, which just happens to brighten and hide blemishes as well, than just your typical make-up product. I think this has a lot to do with the fact that it has an SPF of 25 included in the formulation of it. This makes it the perfect BB cream to wear all year round and also means that you don't need to worry about applying separate sun protection in addition to this base product. Regardless of the time of year or how sunny or dull it is outside, you should try to get some semblance of sun protection into your make-up routine. With Balance Me's BB cream it's one less product to worry about having to apply.
(From left to right: product as dispensed - product swatched and blended)
Now I am aware that this is a little pricier than the two other products that I have featured in this post but again I just have to reiterate that there are products that are a little pricier that I believe warrant the additional expenditure. This is one of them, as it is easily the most hydrating out of the bunch but there may be a slight downside to this product for some. The coverage of this BB cream is rather light and especially lighter than than the two other, more affordable, alternatives. If you are looking for medium coverage or higher then this wouldn't necessarily be the first product that I would recommend. But if you're looking for light coverage and a great base product for the summer months then I don't think that you'll find a better BB cream. You don't feel like you're wearing any make-up at all with this on and it also gives you the peace of mind that you are protected from harmful UV rays as well.
First of all I just need to express how much I adore this particular BB cream and it's completely down to the fact that it matches my pale skin tone identically. Not only is this a colour-adapting tinted cream but it is also available in four different shades which really cover a multitude of skin tones. There is shade (00) which is the shade that I've been using. This is aimed at those with the fairest of skin tones. Shade (01) is for those with lighter skin tones, shade (02) is for those with medium skin tones and shade (03) is for those with darker skin tones. I have a feeling that the deepest shade (03) will also work well for black skin tones in addition to naturally tanned skin tones.
(From left to right: product as dispensed - product swatched and blended)
Much like the L'Oreal BB Cream, The Body Shop's version initially dispenses in a similar shade of white which then transforms itself into your shade of choice. This gives light to medium coverage and really is ideal for those days when you don't really want to apply any make-up at all. If you do have the odd blemish or area that you do want to cover then this does the trick. It leaves your skin looking bright and even. You can't even detect that you're wearing a base product once you've blended it in but it does look like your skin, only better!
So what do you think of BB creams? Are you a fan of them? Have you found the perfect shade for your skin tone? And if so, what is your favourite BB cream on the market at the moment?

Millions of people saw and talked about #BrutalCut, a campaign which saw video messages from Kenyan girls facing FGM unexpectedly incorporated, or cut, into content by vloggers, influencers and publishers. At noon on launch day 132 digital screens across the UK, including London's iconic One Piccadilly, cut to deliver the message: "This cut might be irritating, but some cuts are life-destroying." Despite a minimal budget, #BrutalCut soon became a hot topic from music festivals to newspapers to social media. In total the campaign attracted more than 12 million Twitter impressions, with strong activity on Facebook and a webpage too.

Winter is here, but that doesn't mean that you can neglect your landscaping. Don't let the winter blues get to you - it is just as important to take care of your home in the winter months as it is in the spring and summer. With a few quick and easy tips, you can transform your cold abode into a winter wonderland of do it yourself projects. Preparing for the spring and summer is always a great way to take your mind off of the icy roads, post-Christmas blahs, and dark days. Spend snowy nights melting away your boredom with this quick and easy do it yourself landscaping project that will definitely make your place the number one destination for summer!
Why let Hugh Hefner be the only one with a grotto? With a few homemade fake rocks, you can create your own poolside getaway to enjoy when the chilly temperatures disappear. Foam rocks can be purchased at various housing or home repair stores, but you can make these faux boulders yourself. While you're snowed in, you can use a few simple household tools and soon enough envision yourself enjoying a drink with an umbrella by the pool.
First, start by breaking several large pieces of Styrofoam. It doesn't matter about the shape;real rocks come in all different kinds of odd shapes. You can even stack them to make them bigger or smaller. Next, cover them with self-adhesive plastic. This will make them smoother and also provide a little bit more durability to the Styrofoam. Next, mix grout and evenly paint over your rocks. Make sure that you get grout in all of the holes or cracks of the rock, and that the surface is completely even. This will make them more solid and give them a more realistic look. Finally, you can paint them - either typical rock and mineral colors or something a little bit more pop art and wild. It's your own backyard getaway - do whatever you want!
In the summer, all you will have to do is find the perfect location to stack and secure them! You'll already have the rocks made, so you'll definitely be able to get in a lot more time doing the important summer activities - grilling out and enjoying the sunshine!
You can also use your homemade faux rocks in your garden or flower beds to add a little extra for the other 'bunnies' in your life.

A funny thing is happening to the market value of mortgage servicing rights: as this volatile asset class continues to wane in price, there's now less of it out there in the world—a lot less compared to the peak of two years ago.
And the decline is happening at a time when more nontraditional players—REITs, hedge funds and even Warren Buffett—are pondering big moves into MSR investing.
It's also occurring at a time when mortgage bankers are funding the best quality loans in decades. (Usually, when there's less of something that people want it goes up in value, but the mortgage crisis has turned that notion on its head.)
U.S. consumers owed $8.995 trillion on their residential loans at the end of March—the lowest debt figure recorded in almost five years, according to new figures compiled by National Mortgage News and the Quarterly Data Report.
The peak of the market occurred in the fourth quarter of 2009 when consumers owed $10.138 trillion on their homes. Since that time, outstanding loan balances nationwide have declined steadily each quarter, this publication found.
The reason for the reduction in loan balances is not surprising: foreclosed homes result in loans being removed from the loan tally, plus some consumers that have the ability to refinance are engaging in "cash-in" refis where they bring money to the closing table to reduce their payments even further.
According to figures compiled by Freddie Mac, roughly 70% of consumers who are refinancing either keep their loan balance the same or reduce it.
In recent quarters that ratio has been as high as 77%. As Freddie Mac economist Frank Nothaft once noted, "This is primarily a 'rate-and-term' market, meaning that the typical homeowner is looking to cut their interest rate or shorten their loan term."
As for when MSRs will begin increasing in size again, that's a different matter. It likely won't happen until the housing market stabilizes and more consumers decide to buy new or existing homes—something that will only come when the employment picture improves in earnest.
Meanwhile, of the $8.995 trillion in outstanding home mortgages today, 76% are fixed-rate loans, the lowest reading since 2008.
Servicing advisors who make their living off of MSRs don't seem particularly worried about the shrinking residential loan balances. "It's not something we get hung up on," said one manager based in Denver. "In time it will start rising again."
Also, investment bankers believe it's just a matter of time before MSRs begin to rise in value, though they're not sure when.
At March 31, Wells Fargo & Co. ranked first among all servicers with MSRs of $1.84 trillion, a 2% gain from a year ago. Bank of America ranked second with $1.69 trillion (-16%), followed by JPMorgan Chase with $1.1 trillion (-8%).
The top three servicers, combined, have a market share of 51.57%, according to NMN/QDR.

MiSociety July 22nd, 2008
People around the globe are discovering a new kind of travel. Travel far beyond and outside the old realms of languishing by a synthetic pool or being herded around to keep pace with an impossible itinerary.Today's traveller is typically educated, eager, excited and enthusiastic. They know where they want to go and what they want to do when they get there. But they are also experimental to boot.
Today's traveller is no longer content to just see a place they want to be part of it. They want to trek it, cycle it, ski it, water raft it, and climb it while being immersed in the very culture of the places they visit.
To satisfy the growing thirst for, let's call it participatory travel, the travel industry is devising diverse and wide ranging holiday packages as never before.
Even the 'emotional travellers' are in on the act. Wayfarers whose aim it is to visit poignant destinations like ancestral homelands or to re-unite with family and friends. This group is also increasingly seeking sojourns incorporating an even deeper fundamental significance.
Witness in western culture the resurrected popularity of ancient Pilgrimages as a holiday option. Take for example this one – the Pilgrimage to Santiago, Spain, that culminates at the shrine of St James. This is no easy stroll in the park it involves trundling 20 kilometres a day uphill and down dale for three weeks. Despite the hardships devotees have swollen in numbers from 2,491 in 1986 to 100,377 in 2006.
If earthly destinations ultimately become finite or passé, fear not, for already we can vacate in outer space or under the sea. For instance, fancy bedding down underwater? The '5 Fathoms' lub can spend some time at 'Jules Undersea Lodge', Key Largo, Florida. It does look a little snug down there but you'll get the best fishing spot.
It's only a short orbit away before the really high-end travel set will be taking up the opportunity to follow in the footsteps of those galactic explorers Yuri Gagarin and Neil Armstrong.
Virgin Airlines plans to follow Yuri's path and can already sign up for sub-orbital travel around the globe with Sir Richard Branson. For a leisurely $200,000 (including drinks?) you get to participate in the three day pre-flight preparation that includes an education in zero and macro gravity. I believe this is a state of weightlessness that could rival the 'lightlessness' of your wallet but you will get to fly at 2,500 MPH at a height of 50,000 feet witnessing the earth as cobalt blue, then mauve, then indigo and finally (the new ?) – black. To book, all you have to do is lay down your $20,000 refundable deposit, but I'd suggest you be quick seating may be limited.
But if you'd like to actually land somewhere then why not follow Neil to the moon. An American company is promoting a (return I assume) ticket for circa $100 mill. – now that has to include a glass of bubbles on arrival!
Even though eyes will be focussed on the big destinations in China involved in the lead up to the 2008 Olympics travellers are increasingly venturing away from Beijing and other big cities. The cobbled streets and colourful market towns complete with centuries old monasteries of Yunnan Province are being trodden in this quest for getting away from the masses.
In India, out-of-the-way areas are being sought such as one that is with an abundance of greenery, the Indian state of Kerala. This is a little slice of paradise and much less chaotic than the northern regions. This area boasts endless coastlines, harbours and lakes while being sandwiched between the Arabian Sea and the Western Ghats. Tourists are following footsteps of ancient rulers whilst viewing ancient churches and the old quarter's once grand architecture.
Another area gaining popularity is designer 'family bonding' holidays. For instance whole family tribes are now setting off together to camp out with African wildlife.
Holidays incorporating 'adventure' and 'physical pursuits' are increasingly becoming the norm. Francophile Cycoes (French loving road cyclists) are following in the tyre tracks of the Tour de France. If you caught the television broadcasts of this event last year you would have some inclination of why this 'ride' is becoming extremely popular. Sweeping through the Alps and Pureness that offer up to 27kms of roller coasters sounds fabulous but I'm told the odd participate can be heard to mumble out 'ball breakers' on some of the assents. The dollars for this range at approximately $5,000 plus and that's not including air fares of course.
Before we get off our bikes there's another ride in Vietnam from Hanoi in the north to Ho Chi Minh City (known as Saigon until 1976) in the south. This ride is somewhat easier than the Tour de France and what an experience to see and taste the real Vietnam. By the way I am reliably told that deep-fried anteater tastes rather like ant infused chicken. This trip is a peddling $7,000 plus.
Tours with a sporting theme are a great social amalgam and most of the people involved in this type of event are likely to prove pleasant company.
'Self guided' tours are always a great way to see the world. Tour companies are offering fully supported itineraries of from 4 to 15 days to some of the best destinations in Europe. 'Self guided' means you can walk, cycle, barge or whatever at you own pace while the tour operator takes care of everything else.
Like fishing? Want to fish where few have fished before? Fishing trips to remote areas from New Guinea to Venezuela and anywhere in between can be sourced through fishing magazines and there are several tour companies that will help you catch the big one. Some of the villages visited on these sojourns are well and truly off the beaten waterways and the income derived from travellers helps to sustain them. But be warned 'stay in your hut at night'- it's not so easy to see the crocs then! For me I can buy an awful lot of fish for the $7,000 plus price tag for 10 days in New Guinea trips.
Opportunities today are endless the travel options go on and on. There's wild adventures that include a 7 to 10 day float trip in the remote North-western corner of Mongolia, in its Russian border region, on rivers very few foreigners have ever glimpsed.
Equestrians are horse trekking in challenging terrains, such as found in Patagonia. Seven days on a mighty stead carrying you through crystal clear rivers, lush conifer forests, and over the Andean foothills.
What about a spot of white water rafting up (yes I know it's down) the Zambezi's pummelling rapids (a challenging level 5+). Here your travelling companion include hippo's, crocs, elephants, baboons and with nightly visits from lions, leopards and hyenas around the perimeter of your river-side camp or lodge.
Even travelling within Australia people are on the hunt for trips outside the mundane. A fabulous way to experience the wild coast of northwest Arnhem Land and the Tiwi Islands is in a catamaran – a luxury one of course. This way you can access rarely visited locations like the ruined 1830's British colony of Victoria Settlement and Port Essington on the Coborg Peninsular. Sailers are crossing the Timor Sea and experiencing Aboriginal culture on the Tiwi Islands and visiting places like the Pirlandimpi Community and the renowned Minupi Arts Centre.
Rafters on the Franklin River in Tasmania are experiencing one of the world's last great untamed rivers as it forges a course through the rugged south west of Tasmania.
Others are yearning to bed down on a 5,000 head working cattle station in the Kimberley region of far North Western Australia.
Then there's Voluntourism. This is one of the catchphrases describing a new format of holiday travel for the mature minded individual. These people are determined to give something back to the world's most remote communities. Community travel programs offer the opportunity to give hands on help in a variety of ways. Holidaymakers are spending their time building schools, footbridges, collecting tons of ghost nets to save wildlife and helping to provide clean drinking water all over the world.
The businesses that are willing and able to accommodate today's creative traveller will surely profit.
The next big thing, place, adventure, who knows, but one thing's for sure it's going to be a hell of a journey.

The Sindh government has rejected the results of the census conducted earlier this year and announced that the Pakistan People's Party (PPP) would call an all-parties conference (APC) on this issue.
In a policy statement issued on Monday, provincial minister Nisar Ahmed Khuhro said the federal government had conspired to reduce Sindh population in the statistics.
"This move is aimed at reducing Sindh's share in the National Finance Commission as well as in the national and provincial assembly seats and the job quota in federal government services," Khuhro, the president of the PPP Sindh chapter, added.
He said the PPP government in Sindh would not accept this conspiracy.
Karachi up top, but not by much
"Almost all major political parties in Sindh have rejected the census results. This census has now become controversial," he remarked.
Khuhro maintained that his party had pointed out the census staff's unfair practices but no attention was paid to its reservations.
"The census officials didn't take notice of the fact that in various districts of Sindh, census forms were filled by enumerators themselves. The census staff wasn't even able to reach many areas," he noted.
"We also requested them [census officials] to provide each family with a copy of their filled form, but the census staff didn't bother to pay any heed to us."
The PPP leader said the party had raised this issue given that the federal government had always manipulated the census results in the past.
"The PPP government in Sindh will not succumb to any pressure and will raise this issue at every forum," he added.
"We will take it up at the upcoming Council of Common Interests (CCI) meeting too."
Khuhro said in all sectors including water distribution, natural resources and the divisible pool, the federal government had created problems for the province.
"We will call an APC on this issue and devise our future course of action."
The provisional summary results of the 6th Population and Housing Census 2017 that were presented in a meeting of the CCI on Friday.
Census results: Just over 10,000, transgender people only 0.005% of Pakistan's population
According to the results, Sindh's share in the total population remains unchanged at 23 per cent.
Sindh is the most urbanised province having 52.02 per cent population in urban areas – a result that could disturb rural-urban quotas of the provincial assembly seats and jobs.
Sindh remains the second most populated province with 47.886 million people, which is 23 per cent of the total population.
Sindh's population has grown by 57.3 per cent or 17.44 million during the past 19 years, but its overall share in the national population remains stagnant.
Sindh's annual growth rate remained 2.41 per cent – slightly above the national average. Sindh's urban population has increased to 52 per cent as compared to 48.9 per cent in 1998.
There are 48 per cent or 22.96 million women in Sindh – which is one per cent up when compared with the 1998 results.
The post Sindh rejects census results seeing foul play appeared first on The Express Tribune.

Ken Kearns' 4.2m Electric Glider -- Info from Juan.
Saturday three weeks ago Ken had his new 4.2m wingspan Electric glider at the club. It is a real beauty !
It uses a Hyperion outrunner 4025/12 with a 6S2P battery set up ( 3300mah to 4000mah packs - Hyperion batteries) swinging a 15 x 8 foldable prop and 80 amp "Opto" Hyperion controller. .This Ken claims gives him at least 8 launches ( whilst in the air) on one charge.
Launching it for the first time was a bit tricky as I found it difficult to get a grip This finally worked out, it was reasonably straight forward and she went off with plenty of power to spare
Guess what I will be building soon ?........

SAMAA management committee workshop
Louis and I joined a SAMAA workshop last Saturday. There's some info on the SAMAA BLOG.
Here are some more candid comments for JOMAC members.
The SAMAA management committee consists of eleven sub-committees. In my view it is overly complicated and bureaucratic. Decision-making is generally slow and averse to risk. This is not necessarily bad, but it is frustrating at times.
Also, there is still a remnant of the old-fashioned: "We know what's best for the members. We must protect them from their own stupidity".
With the exception of the General Manager (Bob Skinner), all committee members are volunteers. They give up their time and often money in the interests of SAMAA members. Their hearts are in the right place. But as my boss used to say "It's just that some of their heads are facing the wrong way".
None of this need affect JOMAC. We should continue to guard our independence and maintain a healthy arms-length distance. At the same time we should support the Association.

Shade on the gliding field
Here's the new glider gazebo, excellent.
As someone said, now the glider pilots can enjoy themselves, (...what?).
