I met Kyle when he was a short, sweet 6th grader.
Now he's a grown man, kind and honorable, someone I'd want my boys to look up to.
I've always really enjoyed my time spent with Kyle; he's super thoughtful, incredibly wise for his age, and really good with people. He's humble. He thinks about others. He's brave.
I am so excited to share with you a few of my very favorite from his senior session. Happy senior year, Kyle!

For those of you not in the know, life gets hectic. Add some kids and no matter how little you try to do, life remains a zooming blur and viola: you don't Blog often.
Yesterday we bought 1200 pounds of apples! ORGANIC! Honeycrisp and Jonnagolds. Huck's new friend Bruce has been an angel: he's letting us store and press at his orchard. And since he provides Stemilt with most of their organic cherries, he bought us these apples for $.225 per pound! We will repay him of course, and hook him up with the hard-cider gravy-train. We've got four carboys now and are working on some used white wine barrels. Friday, we're having a little pressing party with Bruce and his girlfriend. But Huck's so stoked about getting it all set up today that he can't wait and he's begging me to press tomorrow, just a little, just to get the feel. Huck even spent half the day plucking his SECRET INGREDIENT.
Last weekend we headed to Seattle for Huck's Baba's funeral. It was small. She died six months ago (rest assured: no open casket) after 15 years of Alzheimer's which is WAY longer than anyone should have to live with that. That last 5 years she was not present, and was unable to focus her eyes or speak. It was awesome to see Huck's only cousin (on that side) and her new baby, thereby providing the complete, majestic circle of life (in the alternative view, you could find a newborn at a funeral rather depressing: as in "this is what you're working towards, kid"). You may have heard this before, but Huck's cousin is head counsel for Google. Not only that, she and her husband are both very great people to goof around with and talk to. And their baby is pretty much as easy and wonderful as they come, not that any of them are easy. Molly Mehitabel is beautiful and calm, and tempting!
Recipe for impromptu strobe light: place newborn on 7 year-old's lap in room full of tipsy, older relatives with cameras. Flash! Flash! Flash!
We let Blue put blue gel in her hair today. It was her idea. I don't know where she got it but I assume it has to do with kids at school. I ascribe to the parenting ideal: pick your battles wisely. Not that this was shaping up into a battle, because I thought the idea was pretty cute too. Blue's also developed a vocabulary of teen-isms, only she says them all with a Mexican accent! Ohmygo-o-od!
King Louis visited the vet today, who just happened to have graduated from WSU four months ago and we knew lots of the same people. In fact he'd helped our neighbor/vet move! The response when King Louis leaped from his carrier was typical: "OH MY GOD! WHAT A HUGE CAT!" But since he spent 3 + 2 weeks missing, he'd lost 5 pounds. He's not blubbery, just really tall and poofy. It turns out King Louis has acne. ACNE! CAT ACNE! And the vet actually told me to get OXY PADS!! So I did. Who knew?
Coyote told us about his secret super powers tonight. He's got several but the house favorite is: "Crosswalk Powers!"
And also, after two weeks, a phone call and some prodding the Wenatchee World finally published my letter: http://wenatcheeworld.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20081006/OP01/710069920/-1/OP. It's the bottom one which they titled "Gregoire's Management".
I crossed another of life's major milestones today: I've now cleared 32 51/52s in human years. I know. It was a big one. But I think I survived. The ego is in tact. Mostly.

About adapting.
Artists are free to spin these nursery rhymes into new places, using as much or as little of the text as they choose.
A character or setting in a rhyme can serve as a starting point to the adventure.
~They may combine characters or settings from multiple nursery rhymes.
~They may take the rhymes' characters on new adventures or give out hidden information about them i.e., the untold secrets of little Jack Horner.
~The comics can answer questions from the Mother Goose tales. Example: Why did Jack and Jill need a pail of water? Why did they both need to go up a hill? Do they intend to draw water from a well, a pond, or a neighbors spigot? Does the phrase "to fetch a pail of water" mean something different in Jack and Jill's world from our own interpretation? Are Jack and Jill children or adults? What is the relationship between them? Are they married to other people? What is Jack's"crown"? What caused Jack to fall first? Was he pushed? Were they fighting? What happened the day before the story in the rhyme? What happened the day after?
The Comic my use the text without changing it and allow the images to twist or enhance the story and its characters.

Quit rolling your eyes and sayin, "Oh no not another fitness app!" Your GymGF is so much more than that, and has the potential to get even bigger.
welcome to YourGymGF, a place where any goal is possible and motivation is endless. Create or join your own private forum to enhance accountability and communication between fitness group, friends,colleagues or teammates. Research shows people are more successful at reaching their fitness and nutrition goals with group support. Join YourGymGF to help spread this happy,healthy and positive lifestyle.
Within the app you can create your own forum. This will help with accountability, team strengthening and so much more.
It's just launched and they need our help to succeed and show countless of women how much this app can help them to succeed. Many forums help to form long-lasting friendships, and when the goals are similar the bonds are stronger. Your GymGF is the ultimate companion to your work out routine.
The first version of the app is available on iTunes and Google Play. However, we immediately noticed through test groups that notifications were going to be necessary. Users actually look for this information because they have been trained by Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and other social medias. Because YourGymGF is too a social media app, notification functionality is crucial to stimulating communication among users. Without notifications, the communication between users declines, which in turn effects the accountability, bonding, and motivation among groups. The time to complete this project is one month and the cost of adding this feature is $4,000.

Dingalan can be one of your choices for a quick escape from Manila. Hindi lang siya mura, but you can also do several activities such as trekking, swimming, hopping, diving, etc.
To get the most out of your tour, these tips might be helpful to you:
1. The tour price varies per organizer. Unless "all-in", you may pay extra pagdating sa location. For example, foods, extra activities, gears, whatever.
The tour price usually ranges from 800 pesos to 1,000. Kasama na dyan ang transportation.
Always clarify the details of your tour!
2. Join a tour without downpayment
This is to avoid scammers.
3. Pack Light
When I went to Dingalan two weeks ago, I brought just a pair of swimming clothes na pwedeng outfit na din pang-akyat ng bundok (all-around na beh). Day tour lang naman, so why not pack light?
Aside from the swimming attire, I also brought just the essentials (phone, cash, toiletries, etc). Sobrang gaan lang ng bag ko. As in pabebe lang.
4. A Particular Activity May Be Cancelled
For example, if sobrang maalon at pupunta kayo sa isang place by boat, sa malamang "canceled" yan.
If you paid for an activity and hindi siya nag-push through, you'll be refunded or depende sa agreement.
5. Paghandaan ang Pag-akyat ng Bundok
In my opinion, "Batanes of the East" is the main attraction in Dingalan. This involves trekking. Short lang ang trail, though puro siya paakyat. It takes 10 to 30 minutes to reach the view deck.
To aid tourists, may lubid along the trail. Mapabata, mapa-young at heart ay pwedeng umakyat.
No need to bring a huge bag unless you really need it. Ok na 'yong hand-carry na water bottle and trail food tapos lagay mo 'ung gadget mo sa bulsa mo. You can leave your bag sa White Beach.
You can wear slippers or sandals. I recommend it especially kung maganda ang panahon (hindi naulan). Kahit huwag ka na magsuot ng shoes.
Take note that you'll ride a boat, so medyo challenging kung naka-shoes ka lang talaga. You can remove it kapag sasakay or bababa ng boat.
6. You can use Drone if you have one
Not sure if you need to get a permit, pero one issue that may prevent you from using your aircraft is 'yong malakas na hangin sa taas.
7. The Lighthouse has a separate trail
If kaya, go lakad. If not, let your guide know. Usually, kung ano ang decision ng nakararami, 'yon ang nasusunod.
8. You can walk up to Tanawan Falls
Tanawan Falls is one of the tourist destinations in Dingalan.
You can ride a tricycle or motorbike to the destination. If kaya naman, lakarin mo na lang and meet some folks along the way. Walking distance actually.
9. Rashguard, hat, and sunblock are your friends
Walang bubong mostly ang mga passenger boat sa Dingalan. XD Also, if maaraw, mas mabilis umitim sa view deck.
10. White Beach is Not Really White
Its shade is somewhat brownish or blackish. Still, you can swim sa katubigan.
11. No internet coverage yet in the White Beach
Upload ka na lang ng pictures or update your SNS later. Enjoy the nature muna.
12. You can dive in Tanawan Falls
Be careful! If you need a vest, mag-rent ka na agad sa store along the way. Walang nagpapa-rent sa mismong location.

New biometric photo ID site launched
07 March, 2011
category: Biometrics
Pic4Pass, a division of biometric technology developer BioID, has developed an online photo-based identification service.
The site, which purports to be the first of its kind, is designed to assist consumers with the creation of ID photos at home that would still comply with governmental regulations on IDs such as biometric passports as well as working for other ID applications such as driver's licenses, green cards, visas, health cards and membership cards.
The service was designed to meet the needs of consumers around the world that need to comply with their own country's biometric ID requirements as well as some requirements foreign countries have for their immigration and visa programs.
Additionally, the service is intending to serve as a trusted source for ID photos that also knows the regulations for each ID program around the world as they consider both the relevant national laws and regulations for biometric ID photos, international standards, and the guidelines for biometric travel documents of the International Civil Aviation Organization.

By Alfred Nordmann
In these past two weeks, readers of the journal may have discovered that I have a certain "soft spot" for the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus, even if it is a flawed masterpiece. I enjoy the fact that Wittgenstein seeks to explore how spoken and written language can express anything at all. There is a certain compelling fascination or amazement in the ability of language to convey observations and thoughts.
As far as introductions go, there are quite a number of books on the Tractatus, and I cannot claim to have scoured through the catalogue of available options. I have read a few, though. I do enjoy Alfred Nordmann's introduction. I find his introduction thorough and illuminating. I find that his introduction of Wittgenstein's aims in the Tractatus are quite clear and detailed for the uninitiated reader. In particular, his explanation of sensical and nonsensical propositions provide examples which will permit readers to understand how the nonsensical can be quite meaningful (e.g. the statement "God is great" does not readily present a picture, but it can serve a very meaningful purpose in someone's life). I also enjoyed Nordmann's account of the ambiguous tone of the Tractatus. Should its axioms be read as firm facts? Or should they be read as quizzical experimentation? Is Wittgenstein dictating observations or is he trying things on for size? Nordmann's problematising of the tone of the Tractatus makes for compelling reading, and may prompt seasoned Wittgensteinians to have a second look at the book.
Overall, I found Alfred Nordmann's introduction a great read for either the newcomer or the old hand. It does more than merely summarise old territory, though Nordmann does not lose his reader as he attempts to explore novel interpretations.

5 Reasons to Visit Zion in the Winter
As a backpacker that spent the first 10 years of my career on a budget, I'm all about shoulder season. Not only are you going to save some scratch, but you also have to deal with way less tourists, giving you that magical feeling of discovery that makes us love travel so much. Which is why I was super stoked to be checking out Zion in St. George County, Utah during the off-season. (Zion actually hit records for the third year in row, if you can believe it!)
With our camera bags packed and our puffers firmly in place, Micheal and I headed out to Zion and St. George for a quick winter weekender of filming. (Don't forget to peep the video below!) Here's why you should too:
1. You can self-drive through the parks. Because numbers are so large in the summer months, Zion requires that guests take tourist trams to get inside the park. During the winter off-season, you can self drive. We rented a car at the Las Vegas airport, then drove 1.5 hours to St. George, getting a little dose of neon and nature in one trip. The road trip has all the hallmarks of a classic Southwestern adventure — the red rocks, the open road, and yeah, amazing burritos. Which brings me to the food...
2. There's plenty of warm winter food to warm your belly. Seriously the smoked chicken burrito at Oscars is one of the best I've had in my life. And who knew they had local beer in Utah! We loved the Polygamy Porter from Moab Brewing. Another fave was the Gun Barrel, where we got to try all kinds of really great game meats. (Be sure to check out my post tomorrow for more deets on where to eat in Zion.)
3. The Narrows are practically EMPTY! OK, this was absolutely insane. We were wading through the river gorge for hours and saw maayyyyybe a handful of people. It was such a magical experience. And seeing the icicles and leaves changing while wandering around in our dry suits was pretty special too. (Prepare to get wet!) We practically had the whole place to ourselves, whereas in summer it's pretty much wall-to-wall hikers. If you're a nature photographer this is the ideal time to set up clean shots without having to crop out tourists tripping over themselves on the slippery rocks.
4. The temps are way more manageable. It was admittedly a little chilly, but I'd much rather be out here now than in the 115 degree weather, fighting other travelers for the shot. I guess this is one of those Robert Frost moments where I'd definitely choose ice.
5. There's tons of stuff to do outside Zion in the wintertime. Our buddy Mike also took us out to some dope local hikes, like Yant Flat and Babylon. The great part about BLM land is that you don't have to pay park fees. Yant was totally surreal! Walking on that cragged sandstone ridges made me feel like I was walking on a dragon's back.
It was a truly incredible experience, and I can't wait to come back again in winters to come!
Note: This trip was a collaboration between myself, Travel Mindset, and Visit St. George.

Reason #5 | Time Is A Currency.
This realization will change your life - and I write about it in detail HERE.
We know money is a currency. We want as much of it as we can get, generally speaking. We think carefully about how we spend it, because (for most of us), it doesn't grow on trees. But - and this is a big but - money is a renewable resource. You can always earn more of it.
As far as we know, time is not renewable. Whatever you have, you have. You don't know how much you have, but you know you have some. We're born on an even playing field when it comes to time: we all get some, and we don't know how much of it there is. But it's all we get.
Got five vacation days earned at work? Just five days to explore France, you say? You're probably going to pay for the slightly more expensive flight from Paris to Nice, rather than take the six hour train ride - why lose half a day to transportation time? Your time currency is in short supply on a five day trip, so you're likely to pay with more Money than Time. On the flip side, if you're exploring Peru for more than a month, you're probably okay with long bus rides and train journeys. You've got plenty of time to see Lima and Machu Picchu alike, so you'll spend more time than money in that case.
Whatever the situation, travel makes you more aware that your time is just as valuable as your money.
If you're on your way to work today instead of Machu Picchu, keep this in mind: time is a currency. Work as hard as you want to earn as much money as you want, but don't forget how valuable your time is. Build something fun into your schedule. Create space on your calendar for play. Spend your time - notice the phrasing 'spend' - doing things that create happiness for yourself and bring good into the world.
Being mindful in life is always a good thing! Remember this on your average Tuesday in the city you call home, and you won't waste precious minutes, or cash.

A rocket ship that SpaceX is building for trips to Mars could begin short flights in the first half of 2019, US tech entrepreneur Elon Musk said on Sunday.
Speaking at an annual technology and culture festival in Austin city in Texas, Musk, the billionaire founder of SpaceX and Tesla Motors, told an audience that his timeline for Mars-related test flights is early as next year.
"We are building the first Mars, or interplanetary ship, and I think we'll be able to do short flights, short up and down flights, sometime in the first half of next year," Musk said.
The Mars project is "making great progress", the tycoon said, but acknowledged that "historically people have told me my timelines have been optimistic," Forbes reports.
In September 2017, SpaceX, Musk's privately-funded venture, said it aims to send a cargo mission to Mars by 2022, with the ultimate goal to put a human colony on Mars.
SpaceX's BFR rocket system, announced last year, is considered the successor to Falcon Heavy rocket.
In its current design, the rocket is 106 meters tall with a 9-meter diameter. It uses 37 Raptor engines, with 31 on the booster rocket, and six on the spacecraft. It will have space for 150 tons of cargo, compared to Falcon Heavy's 30 tons, and is designed to be fully reusable.
A flight will cost less than the initial Falcon 1 flights, which Musk pegged in the US$5-6 million range, CNBC noted.
Yet, Musk has been historically criticized for his overambitious schedules. Falcon Heavy was supposed to launch in 2013, as announced back in 2011, but its debut test flight was completed only in early February this year.
Musk told his audience Sunday at the South by Southwest Festival that he hopes if BFR launches, others will believe Mars travel is possible, and follow suit.
"I think once we build it we'll have a point of proof something that other companies and countries can go and do. They certainly don't think it's possible, but if we do they'll up their game," CNBC quoted him as saying.
Mars will need "glass domes, a power station, and an assortment of basic living fundamentals" in the immediate term, according to Musk.
And after the infrastructure is built, "then really the explosion of entrepreneurial opportunity [will begin]", as the red planet "will need everything from iron foundries to pizza joints," he said.
Saying that man must colonize other planets before a possible "World War Three" in the coming decades, Musk went on to speculate that "most likely, the form of government on Mars would be somewhat of a direct democracy," in which residents would vote directly on particular issues.

Issues ranging from speeding to fracking were among the topics discussed at the inaugural meeting of the Wolds Weighton Liaison Group.
Representatives from 15 Parish Councils, Market Weighton Town Council, Pocklington, Humberside Police and the Fire Service attended the meeting at the Market Weighton Community Hall.
The group has been launched by the three Wolds Weighton councillors on the East Riding of Yorkshire Council – Mike Stathers, David Rudd and Andy Burton – and plans to meet quarterly at venues around the area.
The chairman, Cllr Stathers, said the group had been established to encourage better communication between the 28 parish councils in the Wolds Weighton Ward and County Hall.
He added: "Parish councillors, indeed every resident, will always have the right to contact their Ward councillors if they are experiencing any issues, but our Liaison Group will offer another forum where villages can report specific matters, discuss any problems with their neighbours and, where necessary, seek solutions from County Hall.
"This first meeting was intended to establish the aims and strategy of the group but it was clear that a number of our villages have some pressing issues that require urgent consideration. High on the list is speeding in rural areas. This is not only a problem for the main roads, such as the A1079, but village life is also affected by fast-moving traffic.
"Similarly, fracking is of great concern to some of our parishes, especially those on the higher ground, such as Fridaythorpe and Wetwang, and we will be discussing this in more detail at our April meeting. Other topics included flooding, transportation, commuted sums from housing developments, parking and broadband speeds."
Cllr Stathers added: "We will never be able to provide solutions to every issue and the success of this group, the first of its kind in the East Riding, depends to a large extent on the input from the Parish Councils. It is their opportunity to bring matters to the attention of their Ward councillors in a non-political manner.
Cllr Andy Burton said: "I'm really heartened by the high turnout and very positive comments from those present. While this group is not a substitute for the Community Partnerships that were held in the past, I'm confident that after this very promising start, the Group's meetings will prove to be at least as valuable to our parishes and residents."
The next meeting is scheduled for 28 April at a venue to be announced.

For quite a while I had been thinking and planning in my mind how good it would be to cycle out to Windsor, take in the sites and have a quick break at this chocolate café I had previously visited. I had a whole Saturday to spare and with the sun shining I thought it was finally time to get off my bum and rather than thinking and dreaming about it to go a head and do it. They always say the hardest part is getting out the front door regardless of whether your joe blog or Olympian and its true, at least certainly from my point of view.
My previous attempt had seen my journey cut short as without a map and arriving at a very busy main road out of London I thought it best to spend some more time cycling round Richmond Park. I didn't want this to happen again regardless of what happened.
The plan this time was simple try and follow this dodgy map I had printed out, head out to Windsor (no excuse for falling short of this), stop at the café and then head back. All ready I headed out the door, it started to rain.
The initial part of the ride is probably the easiest to navigate but also have the busiest roads adding to the challenge of getting about safely. I headed out to Richmond Park, passing some fellow fulon tri members who had made it out on the rider earlier than me, before following the meanders of the Thames out to Hampstead court. It was here that the first challenge of the day came in the form of the smells, sounds and sights of pimms, ice cream and sausages coming from the direction of The Foodie Festival, to go or not to go?? It was very tempting, but one for another day.
Heading out into greener pastures and I was travelling by the Thames, through smaller London boroughs, past cosy pubs and quaint house boats. I always think they would be great to live on, but that's a story for another day. On reaching a decisive decision point I pulled out my printed off map and noted how useless it was, you could hardly make out the roads never mind the road numbers. Fortunately I met a friendly cyclist who pointed me in the right direction. Heading up to Chertsney, then Virginia Waters, followed by Staines and finally into Windsor. Sounded simple enough. I headed in the direction he said and the roads were great now, pretty quite and they had a bike lane.
Further on and the signs pointed in separate directions left for Virginia waters right for Staines. My thinking was Virginia waters and Windsor and both further west so no reason to head back into London. Which turned out to be not entirely true but I thought I couldn't go wrong.
I was travelling through bright yellow fields, through wooded areas and past some huge mansions with a whole array of luxury cars parked outside. It was great being out in the open. I met a cyclist who showed me where we were on a map which confirmed that I was on the right route and got chatting about his trip he was planning across France which sounded fantastic. Another T junction and another decision to be made left or right, fortunately some cyclists came past and said they were travelling to Windsor. I jumped on my bike again and was on my way following close behind before overtaking and carrying on my journey. The route took me through and past the Royal Park. It was an awesome sight cycling along with trees towering over the road, blue flowers poking up all over the place and then this huge old tree appeared. It's the beauty of cycling you are travelling slowly enough to experience all the sights and sounds around you that in a car you are closed off from to a greater extent. Pulling over to take in the sights and I got chatting to the first semi-drunk guy of the day and it was only 1pm but he was an old lad who had clearly been having a very good start to the day at his local.
I carried on into a bustling Windsor with the castle looming up a head of me, tourists and locals mingling in the high street and the thought of chocolate getting ever closer. I rolled up to the café called The Chocolate Theatre. I was greeted to a great sight of a whole heap of bikes parked up outside. Should have taken a photo thinking about it…
I ordered my "Penultimate Hot Chocolate" and a sandwich, chilling in the cool breeze and relaxing with the thought of the ride. It finally arrived; the long awaited moment one creamy hot chocolate, cream and chocolate flakes not sprinkled but placed gently on top as they were huge chunks of chocolate. Couldn't help but smile.
It was time for the ride back, if nothing else to burn off a huge number of calories and get the legs warm again which had cooled considerably during my stop. Riding a long and I was soon met by some of the cyclists that I had met previously just before the Royal Park. It was time to join the peloton Tour de France style, racing a long rotating the lead and allowing each other to be pulled along by the man in front. It was great travelling at higher speed and a welcome change to the afternoons bike ride. It also took me in a much more direct route back to the start point. Flying a long the country roads soon brought us back to Hampstead court and the surrounding area which was jammed with traffic where the peloton finally had to break apart as we each picked our way through the heavy traffic. All that was left was a burst into Kingston and the end of the cycle.
Not sure where my next route will be so if you have any ideas then let me know…

Feelings Will Be Hurt
I always find it funny how we don't want to say something to someone because we don't want to hurt his or her feelings especially in relationships or the possibility of a relationship. Sometimes the truth can hurt, but it really is in how you say what is true and in how the truth is received.
It's like when I hear someone say "I wanted to tell him or her that I wasn't interested so I just didn't call" or "I didn't say something because I didn't want to be mean" or worse "I am avoiding him or her because I don't want to do whatever". It would have been much kinder to just have been honest with them in the first place, than to use the lie of avoidance like avoidance is going to hurt their feeling less. At the end of the day yes the other person got the message by our action or lack there of, but it doesn't hurt their feelings any less.
I think the avoidance can actually be more hurtful because the other person involved doesn't know what exactly has happened. Let's be honest when we avoid we think that we are making it on the other person , but really we are just trying to make things easier for ourselves. The truth is, we're not really. When we avoid any situation lies usually get thrown in the mix. In turn we make things more complicated than they need to be.
When we're upfront and honest we avoid confusion. At least being upfront and honest there is a chance to move forward peacefully whatever forward may be without muddied watered.
It's not always easy to tell the truth, and yes sometimes feeling get hurt. The thing is whether you are honest up front or you choose avoidance feeling will be hurt, but at least in telling the truth feeling won't be hurt as bad.
Love and blessings in divine order, Stacye

A land of adventure and wonder. Islands of Adventure is where we're headed today. I want to show you how to manage a hectic day into a one-day easy travel plan filled with excitement!
Islands of Adventure is located in the Universal Orlando Resort. A quick ten minute walk from Universal Studios or a short ride on the Hogwarts Express.
THIS POST MAY CONTAIN AFFILIATE LINKS. PLEASE READ MY DISCLOSURE FOR MORE INFO. Which means if you click on any of the links, I'll receive a small commission. This helps support the website and allows me to bring you more content. Thank you for your support!
Islands of Adventure was once rumored to be Universal's answer to Disney's Magic Kingdom theme park. This concept has since changed, making Islands of Adventure stand on it's own leading parks in thrill rides. It has enhanced it's popularity in the magnificent theming found in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter.
Universal's Islands of Adventure is opened 365 days a year 9 a.m to 6 p.m. in the regular season. Hours may change based on the busyness of the park. The cost of admission starts at $110, but I like discounts so I use Undercover Tourist to find cheap Islands of Adventure tickets.
Now that we've got the basics of the park down, I want to show you how to discover Islands of Adventure in one day. This feat will be challenging, but if you stick to the itinerary then you're bound to see it all.
…keep in mind that ALL is very subjective.
This list has some of the top hitting attractions on it, but you can eliminate or add any item you feel fits your type of day. The key to accomplishing this one-day adventure is to arrive at Islands of Adventure early. If you have a special early entry option, then take advantage.
1. Purchase tickets
Purchase tickets, download a park guide, and map out your day prior to coming to Islands of Adventure.
Save $53 on Universal 3-Park 2-Day Park to Park and get an extra day! Visit Universal's Volcano Bay Water Theme Park.
2. Start early
Try to arrive one hour prior to the park opening time. If eligible for early park admission, then take advantage of the opportunity. Early park admission is available for Universal Orlando hotel guests and sometimes annual passholders.
3. Discover and tour the Port of Entry
The Port of Entry is an overlooked area of the park. Let the magic wisp you away into the highly themed shops and eateries. Be sure to read the titles of the various spots located above the shops. The attention to detail is what makes this area of the park spectacular.
Mission: Try to find the gambling hall in the Port of Entry.
4. Face the Hulk
Once in the gates, head left and challenge the ferocious power of the Incredible Hulk steel roller coaster.
On this ride you will step inside a high-security research compound commanded by General Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross as a research subject. Hold on and enjoy 67 miles per hour of pure thrill.
5. Ride with Storm
Take a quick spin with Storm in Marvel Super Hero Land. This classic spinning cup amusement park attraction is nicely tucked away behind Hulk.
Tip: The best time to ride this attraction is at nighttime. You'll be able to get the full effect of the ride with Storm's lightning strikes.
6. Dive with Doom and fly with Spider Man
After riding into the storm, finish up your Marvel adventure with Dr. Doom and Spider Man. Afterwards, you will have enough time to have a late morning/early afternoon watery thrill.
7. Make a splash in Toon Lagoon
Toon Lagoon is where you should ride Dudley Do-Right's Ripsaw Falls and Popeye & Bluto's Blige-Rat Barges. Toon Lagoon focuses around Comic Strip Lane. This street is filled with restaurants and shops themed around classic cartoons such as Popeye, Beele Bailey, Krazy Kat and more!
8. Travel deep into the jungle and find Kong
Go on a quest to find the legendary King Kong on the Skull Island: Reign of Kong attraction. This is the newest attraction at Islands of Adventure.
9. Journey into a dinosaur filled tour
Step back in time and enter the arches of Jurassic Park. Take a tour through the pre-historic themed attraction on Jurassic Park River Adventure.
10. Explore the Discovery Center in Jurassic Park
The "science center" like place is designed just like the Discover Center on the original Jurassic Park film. You get to see incubated dinosaur eggs and learn about DNA sequencing. It's a great place for an AC break, plus there are spaces on the backside with epic views of Islands of Adventure.
11. Time for lunch
By this time, you can enjoy lunch in the jungle-lodge themed Thunder Falls Terrace, a quick service restaurant in the Jurassic Park area. You can also head over to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter and have lunch in the Three Broomsticks. Enjoy classic British cuisine here such as Fish and Chips and Shepherd's Pie.
12. Experience The Wizarding World of Harry Potter
Join muggles, witches, and wizards while discovering the magic hidden in Hogsmeade. Don't forget to ride Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey, and Flight of the Hippogriff.
13. Make it official and become a Wizard
Line up to be chosen by Ollivander, the maker of fine wands since 382 BC. Relive the classic Harry Potter scene and hopefully you're chosen to receive a wand.
14. Enjoy Wizarding entertainment
Celebrate the magic of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter by watching the Frog Choir and the Triwizard Spirit Rally put on a showcase straight from the film.
15. Discover The Lost Continent
Uncover the mystery within The Lost Continent. Experience The Eighth Voyage of Sinbad stunt show and find the ancient titans of Poseidon's Fury.
16. Fall in love with Seuss Landing
Walk through and experience your favorite childhood books come to life. Finish Islands of Adventure up with the great stories of Dr. Seuss by riding The Cat in the Hat attraction, High in the Sky Seuss Trolley, and the Caro-Seuss-el.
You can kick it up a notch and board the Hogwarts express for an enchanted trip to Diagon Alley in Universal Studios. This saves you the long walk from Islands of Adventure to Universal Studios.
As you can see, Islands of Adventure has something to offer everyone. What's your favorite route to take at Islands of Adventure?

Daily Fantasy NFL Football Week 8 – RB Picks
Here are our RB picks for the week. No real surprises, but we've got a few players ranked lower due to tough matchups.
Marshawn Lynch – at St. Louis
The Rams should be in scramble mode this week as they are without Sam Bradford. The fact their run defense is one of the worst in the league is not going to help matters either. Lynch is a must play if you can fit him in your budget this week.
Frank Gore – vs Jacksonville (Games In LONDON)
Old man Gore goes against what is essentially the leagues worst run defense. Usually gets about 20 carries per game, and had 2 TDs last week. I think he is still a mid-priced option on most daily fantasy sites and with this kind of matchup – you're getting great value.
Knowshon Moreno – vs Washington
Moreno has TDs in each of the last 4 games, and this week faces off against a weak Redskins run defense. While you know Moreno is not going to be a 20+ carry guy, he's a solid mid-priced play that doesn't come out much due to the weak play of Ronnie Hillman & others.
LeSean McCoy – vs NY Giants
What seems like a solid matchup on paper (and could turn out to be a good matchup) may not be all that rosy once the game gets going. The Eagles will either have a gimpy Vick or Matt Barkley starting for them. The Giants played Minnesota last week and lined up 8 guys in the box and went 1-on-1 with the Vikings WR's … essentially shutting down Peterson. I think if Barkley starts, you might want to avoid McCoy because the Giants will just make Barkley beat them, but if Vick starts, use McCoy as your budget fits.
Jamaal Charles – vs Cleveland
Cleveland has been respectable against the run this year, and given that Charles is the most expensive RB on most daily fantasy sites this week, makes me worry. While he should put up good numbers, I think you're rolling the dice a bit because you're going to have to cut salary if you have Charles in your backfield this week … and the matchups not super.
Eddie Lacy – at Minnesota
The last 3 week Eddie Lacy has 20+ carries, and that rates to continue this week as Minnesota looks like a bad football team heading into this week. The Vikings actually have a decent run-d … but the Packers should pose enough threat in the passing game to open up some lanes for Lacy this week.
Reggie Bush – vs Dallas
Reggie was pretty quite last week against a tough Bengals D … but the Lions did move the ball through the air, just Bush wasn't apart of the action much. The positive is the Bush got 20 carries, had 3 catches for 44 yards, but did not get into the endzone. Your upside this week is that Reggie gets a TD against a run defense that is pretty good.
Adrian Peterson – vs Green Bay
Hated how the Vikings offense looked on Monday night against an equally poor team in the NY Giants. Green Bay is a solid run d – and most teams are stuck trying to throw against them, as the Green Bay offense is one of the best in the league. I would avoid AP this week.

The Marketing Strategist:
Welcome to the new itsma.com
October 31, 2016
As advisors on marketing, we've talked for years about the importance of focusing more on brand positioning and reputation than looks and logos, especially in the world of services and solutions. But visual identity certainly matters, and we're excited to share our own new look and feel with you.
We've taken a long look at our role in the market, too, and our new site reflects a renewed commitment to our founding mission: Defining, building, and inspiring marketing excellence for B2B services and solutions.
A lot has changed in the 22 years since we founded ITSMA: the technology and services we're selling, the way we deliver value, and the role of marketing in bringing solutions to market and engaging with customers. Today, technology infuses every B2B solution, the marketing toolbox has exploded with options, and we're all becoming services marketers.
What hasn't changed, though, is the importance of independent insight into marketing strategy, practice, and professional development, and the value of a peer community to explore what's working, what's new, and what's next.
In this context, we've refreshed our site not only to look great (as I hope you'll agree!), but also to provide more useful and practical support for your own journey to marketing excellence and advancement.
Features of our new site include our Online Research Library, filled with essential data, examples, thought leadership, and tools; improved search and navigation; an updated guide to corporate membership benefits and options; and easy access to upcoming leadership and professional development events.

We hope you'll join us for the journey! As always, let me know what you think.

I love timeless outfits. Their versatility allows for variety so, I can style them with many pieces in my wardrobe and get completely different looks time and time again. For me, those are pieces carefully selected because they have a shape that flatters my body and because of their uniqueness and quality. That's a principle that I don't deviate from and I am always satisfied with the outcome.
I apply the same principle when it comes to accessories. I love unique and futuristic pieces. They can really add some polish to my entire outfit and one doesn't exactly know why, but add one statement piece like that, and, suddenly you are a magazine page.
Show me wooden earrings with metal accents, futuristic shapes or shocking minimalist lines for my rings and necklaces – and you got my attention.
It is only fair that this watch from Jord caught my eye. It's has an oversized dial that always looks good on a delicate wrist. I have always liked big dials in watches, way before the big watch frenzy descended upon us in the past 2 years. They weren't making them for women often but I borrowed them from the boys :-)
I love that this watch is such a contradiction of concepts. It's made of wood so when you hear that, you think of a hippy watch made to save the planet. But not this watch. This watch is not made of just any wood: it's made of a noble wood called ebony, dark as the kohl and smooth to the touch. It has gold metal accents creating such a luxurious outcome. I feel spoiled and adored wearing it. It's a watch that I may let my boyfriend wear now and then. If I feel like :-)
It's a time piece that is timeless. Style wise. Functionality wise, this watch runs like clock work :-)
Thank you so much for reading.
I hope you enjoyed this post and I'll see you again soon.
Jord unisex ebony and gold watch // Isabel Alexander top and wide-leg pants Isabel Alexander (coming soon in my e-store)
If you want to consider a timeless timepiece like mine, you can enter the JORD contest HERE The winner will receive a $75 gift certificate valid for any JORD watch purchases.
The best part: entering the contest is very easy as you only need to enter your name and email address and you automatically receive a $20 gift certificate just for entering the contest.

the seashore getting up enough guts to go over to the seashore. Eventually decided it was something I 'd wanted to do, so walked on down, found a place and took off my swimsuit. The next step was to get up and go play in the water that I did.
Another time was at a warm springtime and there was http://xnudists.com sitting in a seat nude. After sitting in the spring for awhile, I got out as well as enjoyed the sunlight naked also. At first when other people came, I'd place the towel over me, but after watching him, I had the bravery to remain uncovered with the the next couple of individuals that came. One couple came and he stripped down to get in the spring, the lady though transformed into a swimsuit with him holding the towel up. She did loosen up some and would let her top straps down.
We continue publishing stories shared by our subscribers that are female – young naturist girls who make it to the nude beach for the first time
Click to view
Once the top slide a little to show one breast and so she casually pulled it up again. It seemed like she needed to join in, or at least go topless, but simply could never move ahead with it.
My recent courageous move was to go out naked in the yard of the condo we were staying at with my wife. She isn't into nudism and so sometimes when we're alone someone and I have gone nude, she isn't quite approving. But http://crazypublic.com is early in the year and I was longing to get some naked time in the sun, so simply walked right outside and put on the lounge chair. With the privacy wall at this spot, I was hoping she wouldn't say anything or be upset. She joined me in her bikini and seemed comfortable with me laying out nude. Later on she took her top off which was a bit astonishing. Later she eased her bottoms off and joined me naked. Even more surprising was the next day when we were going outside to catch some sunlight. She did not even bother to put her bikini on, but only went straight out naked. There were still other times that she still wore her bikini, but encouraging that she was willing to do some nude sunbathing. Looking forward to the summer with her to see how much she's willing to really go.
One last time to connect was when I was at a little resevoir and was putting on a inflatable mat floating on the water. I 'd on some swimwear that had some clasps, so I released the clasps and appreciated floating on the mat nude. There were boats going by and a couple of others on the shore, but it felt so fine. I've done this again after I got past the initial first time. Constantly keep them handy in case a ranger comes by.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – An Albuquerque acupuncturist has been arrested and accused of raping one of his clients.
Megumi Hirayama has been charged with criminal sexual penetration.
He didn't say a word as he surrendered himself to police Thursday.
Hirayama is a Japanese Acupuncturist in Albuquerque. His practice is located on Montgomery near Jefferson.
Police say they began to investigate in Aug. 2018 after a police report was filed by the alleged victim.
The woman said she visited the clinic to get treatment for her foot. However, she said Hirayama offered her "grief therapy" after she revealed that she had lost her son. Hirayama then allegedly forced her to strip and wear a gown before fondling her.
"She's absolutely traumatized by this event and is very brave of her to come forward," said Albuquerque police officer Simon Drobik.
DNA evidence was sent to APD's Crime Lab. Police say it tested positive for a male DNA profile matching Hirayama's known profile.
According to police, the "probability of selecting an unrelated individual at random and finding a match to this profile is 1 in 3.8 trillion."
A former patient, who didn't want to reveal his name, said he was shocked when he heard of the arrest.
"He's treated some of my family members, my wife included and one of my sons. And when I heard this news break today I just could not believe it," he said.
The man is confident his family was never victimized by Hirayama.
"He always treated them professionally," he said.
The Albuquerque Police Department is asking for potential victims to come forward.

The time loomed close. At first light just before dawn, the group was to set off into unknown territory. Yesterday was a long day. Walking across a harsh and rugged landscape with minimal supplies and uncertain access to water. Their bed had been scraped out among rocks and sticks. Sleep had been elusive, caught in short bursts of an hour or two and punctuated by the need to stoke the fire for warmth or ease the pressure of sleeping on the ground.
In the pre dawn stillness, I heard someone throw up. Not a good start to the day! As the team medic, it was my job to investigate and assess. I was surprised by what I found. The young man who was ill was by far the fittest member of the group. Well trained, confident and competent. He'd been talking about taking this trip for over 2 years, and was planning to take on an even greater challenge immediately afterwards. As we talked about what was going on for him, it turned out that he wasn't ill as such. But he was stressed.
His stress had him literally tied in knots, bunched and spasming muscle, a headache and waves of nausea. Debilitated by fear and anxiety. Despite our collective efforts, he was unable to stake it off, and ended up pulling out of the exercise.
His reaction was at the extreme end of a continuum of stress - the other end being so unstressed that we are bored. Somewhere in the middle is peak performance where we are stressed enough to be motivated, but not so much that we are overwhelmed (If you want to know more about that, check out the Yerkes Dobson Curve). You may well have experienced some form of being overwhelmed during your life. In that state, it's very difficult to access your ability and rationale. Even simple decisions can seem impossible. Operating at that level takes an enormous amount of energy and is not sustainable.
When I'm speaking to people who are managing change programs, they often talk about resistance. Resistance sometimes shows up in spite of what people are saying. A person might have agreed to the change, and have even been enthusiastic about it, only to appear resistant later on. The typical response to resistance is to shove harder. More force rarely works and is usually matched with even greater resistance.
Our pre dawn bloke was stressed and torn between a part of himself that really wanted to take on the challenge, and another that was unable to face it in that moment. He was concerned about appearing out of control, and incompetent in front of peers and mentors. This is often at the heart of resistance, and often is more to do with hard wired survival instinct than ego. For the vast majority of human history, we have lived in small tribes, or communities, reliant on each other's skill and competence for our very existence. in this context, incompetence was literally life threatening. When people are called upon to adopt something new, there's an inevitable period of uncertainly often accompanied by the need to learn new ways of doing. People will retreat to the familiar, especially if they are nearing their personal capacity of stress. It's not a conscious choice - they may not even be aware that they are doing it.
Rather than shoving harder, work on creating environments where the "new" can be engaged safely and playfully. Have explicit conversations about the unspoken expectations that create the resistance. - More on that next week.

What a magical morning spent in the woods near Helpston, Cambridgeshire. It's well worth a visit if you're wanting to see a highlight of the season.
Bluebells are bursting, Anemones are smiling and Celandine are glistening. As Wordsworth himself said of the Celandine:
" There is a flower, the lesser Celandine
That shrinks, like many more, from cold and rain
And, the first moment that the sun may shine
Bright as the sun himself, 'tis out again!'

Art for art's sake?
You don't have to be wealthy to buy art but if you want to make money through investing in art where should you start?
Art prices have boomed in recent years as celebrities, city bankers, Russian oligarchs, hedge fund and private equity managers have flooded into the market. At a recent sale of contemporary art at Sotheby's, a painting by German artist Gerhard Richter sold for £7.9m, more than three times its pre-sale estimate of £2.5m.
For investors, art is often promoted as an 'uncorrelated' investment which performs differently to mainstream financial assets such as shares or property and can therefore help to protect against the uncertainties and volatility of the stock market. But this argument should be treated with some caution.
As Peter Temple, author of Superhobby Investing, points out "The art market is undeniably cyclical in character and appears to move in sympathy with trends in the…

On 6 October 2015, the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) declared the EU-US Safe Harbor framework invalid as a mechanism to legitimize transfers of personal data from the EU to the US. This decision effectively leaves any organisation that relied on Safe Harbor exposed to claims that such data transfers are unlawful.
Safe Harbor was jointly devised by the European Commission and the U.S. Department of Commerce as a framework that would allow US-based organisations to overcome the restrictions on transfers of personal data from the EU. Following a dispute between Austrian law student Max Schrems and the Irish Data Protection Commissioner, the CJEU was asked to consider whether a data protection supervisory authority was bound by the European Commission's decision that Safe Harbor provided an adequate level of protection for European data.
In its ruling, the CJEU goes beyond this specific question and takes the view that Safe Harbor does not in fact provide an adequate level of data protection, because it is unable to prevent large-scale access by the U.S. intelligence authorities to data transferred from Europe.
What is the practical effect of the decision?
The decision invalidating Safe Harbor has the following consequences:
- Transfers of personal data from the EU to the US currently covered by Safe Harbor will be unlawful unless they are suitably authorized by data protection authorities or fit within one of the legal exemptions.
- Multinationals relying on Safe Harbor as an intra-group compliance tool to legitimize data transfers from EU subsidiaries to their US parent company or other US-based entities within their corporate group will need to implement an alternative mechanism.
- US-based service providers certified under Safe Harbor to receive data from European customers will need to provide alternative guarantees for those customers to be able to engage their services lawfully. Our suggested plan of action
In the light of the CJEU's judgment, our advice to organisations affected by it is as follows:
- Carry out a data transfers assessment to identify which data transfers from the EU to the US had been legitimized by Safe Harbor.
- Prioritise key transfers for the business by reference to the nature of the data and its use.
- For intra-group transfers, identify all of the entities involved and assess the most suitable alternative to Safe Harbor. In the short term, this is likely to involve an interim contractual solution whilst more permanent mechanisms – such as BCR – are considered.
- For transfers to service providers, review any existing contracts for references to Safe Harbor and determine whether the relevant vendor is offering a suitable contractual option or is able to rely on a Processor BCR.
- US-based service providers should consider the most appropriate legal mechanism to enable customers to continue to use their services lawfully.

Pup parents know that our dogs love us deeply, even though they do not express it in the same manner as humans do. Recently, behavioral research saddened dog lovers when it showed that most dogs don't like to be hugged.
That's not to say that our pups don't enjoy receiving affection; they live for our love and approval! Try showing them your devotion in a language they can understand.
1. Gaze Deeply Into Their Eyes
Dr, Brian Hare, Professor of Cognitive Neuroscience at Duke University topped the NY Times best seller list with his book, The Genius of Dogs. In an interview with Anderson Cooper this past Spring he told the dog-loving newsman that when your dog stares at you he is "hugging you with his eyes."
This doesn't mean you should stare deeply into the eyes of the dog that guards your local junkyard! Direct eye contact is still considered a challenge or threat in many situations. But with your own, trusted pet, try gazing into his eyes when the two of you are calmly relaxing.
Speak softly, stroke him gently and maintain eye contact. According to Hare these quiet moments stimulate the release of Oxytocin in the canine brain – the same hormone that bonds mother and child.

As a quick reminder, the Genius Bar provides technical support within Apple stores to customers having problems with the product or application. The Genius Bar has been hailed by many retail consultants as a key element in the most successful retail concept of recent times and a builder of the Apple brand and relationship.
As Aaker points out in his post, "the Apple store's financial performance and impact on the Apple brand is amazing. The sales per square foot for its 380 or stores is more than $5,000, which is six to ten times other successful retailers, and the average store pulls in 18,000 visitors a week. Perhaps more important, the stores provide a way to express the Apple brand and showcase its products."
Aaker lists these seven reasons for its success:
- Apple owns the brand and the concept. No other firm can have a Genius Bar because Apple owns the brand. Any other firm will at best be an imitator.
- The brand has a distinctive personality — humorous and understated yet competent and reassuring.
- It is staffed by people that are both knowledgeable and disciples of the products and philosophy.
- Their training is
disciplined following the APPLE dictum of Approach customers with a personalized warm welcome, Probe to understand the problem, Present a solution, Listen for issues, and End with an invitation to return. That means consistency no matter which store you are visiting.
- Apple makes both the hardware and software and, thus, has a unique ability to create and staff a Genius Bar.
- It enhances the customer relationship with its person-to-person approach.
- It can transform a disgruntled, disappointed customer with the potential to have a distasteful retail experience and become a negative voice in the marketplace into a satisfied if not enthusiastic supporter of the Apple store.
What about your clients? Is there a "Genius Bar" in their story? If you can find one for them, you can be their hero!

Vietnam's visa types are derived from duration of stay, without function of travel. 90 days, multiple-entry: you may be permitted to enter and exit Vietnam many times within a three-month period. They've been known to accept repayment in currencies aside from U S bucks but are not obligated to do so therefore it should not be counted on. Recently an ATM has been set up at Tan Son Nhat Airport (HCMC) adjacent to the landing visa countertop. »» [ Link Details for Google ]

Easton Ghost X 30/20 Decertified
Posted 03 May 2018 - 07:51 PM
Probably the most popular USABat purchased has now been decertified.
Make sure you let your league/ parents know asap!
Posted 03 May 2018 - 08:43 PM
I don't have a horse in this race but if I did I would not be very happy right now.
Posted 03 May 2018 - 09:20 PM
So do they buy the bats back?
I don't have a horse in this race but if I did I would not be very happy right now.
Per the article:
Any questions regarding returns, refunds or warranty claims for the Easton Ghost X 30/20 should be directed to Easton via email at [email protected] or at 1-844-531-7079.
Posted 03 May 2018 - 10:04 PM
The funny thing is that the 31/21 is still legal
Posted 03 May 2018 - 10:17 PM
It is funny.
Posted 04 May 2018 - 01:04 PM
I have not heard any of our kids call the Ghost X out for having unusual 'pop' in the first place either.
It is funny.
And you probably never will, at least not this early.
Composite bats take a lot of time to break in and these bats are tested to failure.
Plus it's just the 30/20 model, not any of the other length/weight variants.
Definitely a nightmare scenario for Easton.
Posted 04 May 2018 - 02:56 PM
It's horrible timing for our players too; there are several teams who primarily use this bat.
Posted 04 May 2018 - 03:35 PM
I would guess that the 30/20 variant is the most popular as well.
Just got an email from our Travel League and they are giving everyone a 3 day grace period so the bat can be used through Sunday and will become illegal starting Monday.

Transstroy is now the contractor to build disputed Polavaram Dam అక్టోబర్ 18, 2012Posted by M Bharath Bhushan in Andhra, Andhrapreneurship, biodiversity, Congress, corruption, ecology, Godavari, Khammam, Koya, Polavaram, politics, regionalism, TDP, Telangana, TRS.

Transstroy to implement Polavaram project
Special Correspondent, The Hindu, Hyderabad, October 18,2012
The consortium of Transstroy-JSC EC UES has finally been selected as the contractor to build the three main components of the Rs. 16,100-crore Polavaram project — rock-fill-cum-earthen dam, spillway and penstocks for 960-MW powerhouse planned as part of the project.
The selection has been made by the State Level Standing Committee (SLSC) headed by C. Muralidhar, engineer-in-chief, Irrigation, and reportedly approved by the High Level Committee which has Chief Secretary (Minnie Mathews) as its chairperson. The SLSC has other engineers-in-chief, the director, Finance, and the chief engineer, Central Designs Organisation, as members. Subject to final approval of the selection by Chief Minister N. Kiran Kumar Reddy, Transstroy consortium will be awarded the contract for the works. Transstroy-JSC EC UES quoted a price of Rs. 4,054 crore which was 14 per cent less than the IBM (internal bench mark) value fixed by the government at Rs. 4,717 crore.
The consortium thus became the lowest price bidder — or L1. An official said Soma Enterprise, which was identified L1 earlier as it had quoted Rs. 4,147 crore, has now emerged as the fourth lowest bidder by quoting a price of Rs. 4,599 crore this time. Madhucon Projects and Gammon India turned out to the second and third lowest bidders by quoting Rs. 4,091 crore and Rs. 4,339 crore respectively. The re-process of identifying the lowest bidder, however, was undertaken again at the instance of the High Court following petitions filed by other companies against listing of Soma as L1. SEW Infrastructure had been originally identified as the lowest bidder (L1). But its selection was scrapped following a hue and cry by political parties.

Mangoes are the king of fruits and has all the nutrients in it. Same of raw mangoes, they contains Vitamin A, Ba, C B12, zinc, pottasium, iron, folate, dietary fibers and all such nutrients in it.
Mango in summers:
Raw mango is great during summers, only if taken in limited quantities. It helps to prevent sunstroke, balances temperature and keeps away fevers. One can prepare its chutney, juice and can also add it in salads.
Now let's move to our recipe of Mango drink.

Usually people call an exterminator when pests come calling, but you should attempt some self-help strategies before making this expensive choice. This article is going to provide you with many helpful strategies, whether you call in the help or not. Keep reading to learn more.
Screens in your home should be repaired to keep out flying insects. Not only do they keep out the flying pests, but they help to keep out small crawling insects as well. Repair any holes to prevent unwanted house guests.
Seal all of the cracks that are in your home to control pests. A lot of the time these places are seen as an entrance to pests that are looking for a new place to live. You must seal them up to keep the bugs out.
Mint can keep mice away from your home. Mint should be planted around your home's perimeter. The smell will bother mice and other small animals. If mice is living in your home, you can sprinkle mint leaves all around the area where you see signs of mice. Usually, this keeps mice away. But, be sure the mint you use is fresh.
If you recycle each week, make sure that the recycles are rinsed efficiently. It is especially important to rinse items that contain sugar, such as soda cans. Rinse soda cans out before storing them.
People that are having problems with pests like bugs may have solutions handy. Consult the professionals at your local home improvement outlet for advice to rid yourself of these pests. They know what kinds of pesticides will work on the specific pests that are plaguing your home.
If trees fall, dispose of them. Chop it up to make firewood. You can use it, sell it or just give it away. Take care to eliminate the stump as well. Stumps are dead, and dead wood attracts termites.
Try to block out mosquitoes from coming into your living area. Don't allow areas of standing and stagnant water. Mosquitoes are known to be in places with as little water as what is inside of a can of food.
The first step to fixing your pest problem is to determine the point of entry they are using. You could have a space near a window or door that's allowing pests to get in or your pet could even be bringing them inside. If you know where they are coming from, you have found the source and can cut it off.
You want to ensure your foundation and walls are without cracks. As your house settles over the years, cracks will develop. Any cracks can be an excellent way for pests to get inside the home. Also, look at your ceiling. You may find cracks through which pests will crawl through.
Hopefully the information that you have gleaned from this article has given you the knowledge that you need in deciding how to deal with your pests. So long as you implement the advice you've just learned, you are sure to successfully deal with your pest problem. You can breathe easy once you have dealt with your pest problem once and for all.
