Pheasants Forever (PF) and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) will cooperate to permanently restore and protect approximately 1397.31 acres as Waterfowl Production Areas (WPAs) in western and southern Minnesota. All lands acquired through this grant proposal will be owned and managed by the Service as part of the National Wildlife Refuge System.
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources Accelerated Prairie Grassland Restoration and Management Program had a successful first round of funding from the Legacy Funds. The program worked through the growing pains and obstacles in getting a new program up and operational and was successful in enhancing nearly 5,800 acres of prairie and grasslands in eight of the ecological subsections of Minnesota. A contractor base has been established for this type of work statewide that needs to be evaluated and expanded on for future appropriations.
Many of Minnesota's wetlands have been lost and the remainder degraded. The original proposal planned for 15,000 acres of wetland/shallow lake enhancement to provide critical habitat for each life stage of waterfowl and wetland wildlife. The six projects subsequently completed with this appropriation enhanced 13,800 acres of wetlands and shallow lakes in the Prarie and Forest/Prairie Ecosections of Minnestoa.
Many of Minnesota's wetlands have been lost and the remainder degraded. Recent tiling and ditching have accelerated this situation. Through this proposal, shallow lakes and wetlands will be designed, constructed, and intensively managed to benefit wetland wildlife and Minnesota residents.
This appropriation funded 283 projects totaling 21,953 acres. The two largest types of enhancement were 112 woody removal projects totaling 10,160 acres and 134 prescribed burns totaling 10,082 acres. Additionally, we seeded 30 sites totaling 1386 acres, put in infrastructure for conservation grazing of 236 acres on 3 sites, conducted 3 oak savanna enhancements totaling 42 acres, and treated 47 acres of invasive species on 2 sites.
This program of on-the-ground conservation projects increased the wildlife and ecological values of forest communities on Minnesota's public forestlands. Restoration and enhancement projects in this program enhanced more than 10,000 acres of forest.
We protected 22.3 miles of trout streams and 1.3 miles of lakeshore via easements (585 acres in total), and 7.4 miles (504 acres) of lakeshore through fee-title purchase. We enhanced shoreline habitat on 524 acres of riparian land, and instream habitat on 3.1 miles of trout streams and 0.5 miles of warmwater rivers.
We propose restoration and enhancement of prairie and savanna on WMA's, SNA's, and Native Prairie Banks in Minnesota and restoration and enhancement of bluff prairies on State Forest Land in southeast Minnesota.
With these funds we were able to restore, protect, and enhance 24,611 acres of native and restored grassland in Minnesota. Much of this work was done through the DNR Roving Crews, a new program funded with these dollars that has significantly increased the state's habitat management capabilities. In addition to these enhancement activities we were able to enroll acres in the DNR's Native Prairie Bank Easement Program as well as acquire acres for the SNA program.
This program will increase populations of a variety of game and non-game wildlife species by protecting and enhancing forest habitats on which wildlife depends. This program of on-the-ground forest conservation projects will amplify the wildlife value of forest communities on DNR administered forestlands. Our forest enhancement will treat 4,472 ac. These activities are not conducted as part of the DNR's commercial timber operations. Additionally, our program will acquire 404 acres of forestland that contributes to habitat complexes and other high priorities.
Ducks Unlimited and Minnesota DNR Section of Wildlife completed 26 project affecting 7,603 acres, including three wetland restoration projects restoring 97 acres, 18 shallow lake enhancement projects enhancing 7,154 wetland acres, and five fee-title land acquisition projects protecting 352 acres.
Accomplishments of the appropriation include: i) protection of 3.9 miles of shoreline; ii) modification of 4 lake outlet structures to allow fish passage, benefiting 1,264 acres; iii) enhanced river and stream functions at 15 sites, benefiting over 17 river miles; and iv) enhance 4.5 miles of shoreline habitat on publicly-owned lakeshore.
The table below provides a short summary of the acres and sites accomplished. We enhanced or restored 59,495 acres in 458 separate habitat projects.Project Type # Sites # AcresFencing for conserv grazing 6 721grassland conversion 33 1,124Invasive Species Control 43 1,599mowing 3 104Prescribed burn 214 48,368Restoration 13 123Woody Removal 146 7,457
This proposal impacts shallow lakes and wetlands in Minnesota through the design and construction of projects, enhancement work done by DNR roving habitat crews, and shallow lakes work identified and initiated through the DNR Shallow Lakes program. Ten thousand acres of wetlands were enhanced by these activities.
This program accelerated the permanent protection of 2,267 acres of wetlands (465 acres) and grasslands (1,802 acres) as Waterfowl Production Areas open to public hunting in Minnesota. Over the course of the appropriation, PF acquired 18 parcels for a total of 2,267 acres which exceeded our total acre goal of 2,250 acres by 17 acres. Breaking down acres by ecological section we exceeded our acre goal for both the metropolitan area by 61 acres and in the prairie area by 346 acres. We have exceeded anticipated match of $5,125,000 by $771,500.
The AgBMP Loan Program provides needed funding for local implementation of clean water practices at an extremely low cost, is unique in its structure and is not duplicated by any other source of funding.The AgBMP loan program provides 3% loans through local lenders to farmers, rural landowners, and agriculture supply businesses.
At 410 acres, Lake Owasso is the largest lake in the Grass Lake Water Management Organization (GLWMO) and one of the most pristine. Maintaining the lakes water quality is a priority for the GLWMO. A long urbanized area along Aladdin Street in Roseville currently lacks stormwater features to remove pollutants and reduce water volume. The rainwater from this area drains directly to a wetland which is hydrologically connected to Lake Owasso. Adjacent to the residential area is a 0.5 acre parking lot which drains into a ditch which eventually enters the same wetland.
The Albert Lea Lake Management project replaced the previous Albert Lea Lake fix-crest dam with a 3-in-1 structure that included a rock riffle dam, a lake level management structure, and an electric fish barrier. The benefits from this project include improved aquatic and waterfowl habitat, invasive species management, and improved desirable fish populations.
A direct appropriation of $400,000 in FY 2010 for the Anoka Conservation District (ACD) is for the metropolitan landscape restoration program for water quality and improvement projects in the seven-county metro area (the law also provides $600,000 for this purpose in FY2011).
A direct appropriation of $400,000 in FY 2010 and $600,000 in FY2011 for the Anoka Conservation District (ACD) is for the metropolitan landscape restoration program for water quality and improvement projects in the seven-county metro area.
The Cannon River Watershed is a diverse watershed from the standpoint of topography, land use, and land cover, but a central issue of concern is increased sedimentation and turbidity within the river. One of the best ways to keep sediment from entering the Cannon River is to install vegetative buffers on the smaller tributaries in the upper reaches of the watershed. This project is important as it aims to help identify strategic locations where buffers are needed and to assist landowners to install buffers that will directly help reduce sedimentation within the watershed.
Funds are to be used to protect, enhance and restore water quality in lakes, rivers and streams and to protect groundwater and drinking water. Activities include structural and vegetative practices to reduce runoff and retain water on the land, feedlot water quality projects, SSTS abatement grants for low income individuals, and stream bank, stream channel and shoreline protection projects. For the fiscal year 2012, BWSR awarded 13 local governments with funds to complete 143 projects. More information is available in the detail reports below.
Protect +/- 428 and restore +/- 175 acres near Cannon River Headwaters including wetlands, Big Woods forest, and river & shallow lake shoreline to reverse habitat loss, improve watershed function, and provide access.
Protect approximately 270 acres and restore approximately 50 acres near the Cannon River headwaters, including wetlands, prairies, Big Woods forest, and river & shallow lake shoreline to reverse habitat loss, improve watershed function and provide access.
The goal of this project is to apply the Hydrological Simulation Program FORTRAN (HSPF) model to evaluate scenarios to support potential management actions and implementation in the watershed, construct Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) studies, and to develop a conceptual site model of the lakes for understanding phosphorus release.
This project will guide local implementation planning efforts by identifying water quality goals, strategies, and implementation milestones in the Cedar River Watershed. This watershed includes 435 square miles in major portions of Mower, Freeborn and Dodge Counties, and incudes the regional center of Austin. A Watershed Restoration and Protection Strategy (WRAPS) report will be completed by this effort.
Lambert Creek discharges into Vadnais Lake, the final impoundment reservoir containing the potable water supply for the city of St. Paul and eight nearby suburbs. Monitoring data indicates high nutrient levels and the creek is listed by the State as having high bacterial levels. In-stream work along Lambert Creek has been maximized with restoration improvements achieving nutrient load reduction. The next step to further improve water quality is to concentrate on restoration efforts on a subwatershed level.
Minnesota Trout Unlimited enhanced in-stream and riparian fish and wildlife habitat in and along coldwater streams located on public lands and Aquatic Management Areas. We completed all 9 projects originally proposed and three additional. Contracting efficiencies and leveraging of other funding allowed us to add two habitat enhancement projects in southeast Minnesota and another segment on the Sucker River in northeast Minnesota. We enhanced 10 more acres of habitat than originally proposed and increased leverage by $121,700 (67%).
Minnesota Trout Unlimited enhanced in-stream and riparian fish and wildlife habitat in and along coldwater streams and lakes located on public lands and Aquatic Management Areas. We originally proposed 11 projects, yet completed 13 projects. Contracting efficiencies and leveraging of other funding allowed us to add three more habitat enhancement projects in northeast Minnesota and to lengthen others. One small budget project was dropped when a partner changed the scope from 144 acres to less than 15 and proposed costs outweighed the potential benefit.
Lambert Creek is wholly within the Vadnais Lake Area Water Management Area. Vadnais Lake is the drinking water reservoir for the City of St. Paul and surrounding communities. Lambert Creek has elevated bacteria and nutrient levels and water quality in Vadnais Lake will not improve unless there is a reduction in the phosphorus loading from Lambert Creek.
This project will build upon existing planning and implementation efforts already taken on in the project area. The collection of existing information will be used to complement water information in support of a more successful and sustainable water quality improvement and protection implementation program. This will be achieved by active civic engagement activities throughout Phase I of this project.
This project will complete a pollutant source identification and subwatershed information report and support the development of a Draft Restoration and Protection Plan (RAPP). It will also support the devlopment of a Implementation Plan that will identify target areas for BMP implementation for bacteria reductions.
This project will provide the MPCA, CCWD, and all other stakeholders the information and tools necessary to improve the water quality within Coon Creek Watershed District. The improvements will take place using targeted activities throughout the watershed to reduce the primary biological and chemical stressors. In turn, the reduction of these stressors will help to reduce overall loadings of sediment, turbidity, total phosphorus, and E. coli bacteria.
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources will restore or enhance habitat to facilitate fish passage, restore degraded streams, and enhance habitat critical to fish and other aquatic life. Projects are prioritized based on ecological benefit, urgency, feasibility, and stakeholder support.
Good habitat is critical to sustaining quality fish populations in both lakes and rivers. DNR proposes to restore or enhance aquatic habitat under two programs: stream restoration, and Aquatic Management Area (AMA) enhancement. Stream restoration includes major channel restorations and fish passage projects such as dam removals intended to improve or provide access to critical aquatic habitats.
This programmatic request will build on the DNR's previous efforts to enhance and restore grasslands, prairies, and savannas. We will use the Prairie Conservation Plan and Pheasant Summit Action Plan to guide these efforts in a strategic and targeted manner. This proposal will work on a number of types of permanently protected habitats, most of which are open to public hunting, including; DNR WMAs, SNAs, AMAs, Prairie Bank Easements, State Forests, as well as USFWS WPAs and Refuges.
The following table provides a short summary of the accomplishments under this appropriation. In total, the DNR enhanced and restored 283 sites for a total of 17,087 acres.

Whatever happened to "Christian" America? American Christianity is under attack in this increasingly hostile climate, believers need knowledge . First they need biblical knowledge, and then they need awareness as to how many Christians in America are suffering for their faith. Deborah J. Dewart's Death of a Christian Nation offers a case-by-case look into how current laws and judicial decisions impact Christians' ability to apply biblical principles in the workplace. In each chapter, Deborah explains to Christians where they can turn for help. In her opinion, without this knowledge, our "Christian" nation will die.
Some believers may object to political action. After all, the church's mission is to preach the gospel, and we tread on dangerous ground when we perceive non-Christians as "the enemy" rather than persons who need Christ. But we cannot stand by idly while fellow believers suffer serious legal consequences for practicing their faith. Moreover, our freedom to preach the gospel is rapidly diminishing, and preservation of that freedom is vital to the church and its mission.
We must never forget our primary mission by becoming too entangled in political warfare, but neither can we hide our heads in the proverbial sand.
Deborah J. Dewart earned her law degree from Chapman School of Law in 2002 and completed requirements for the bar exam in 2003. Since then, she has represented tax-exempt organizations and business entities, helped clients with wills and trusts, and has been at the forefront in cases involving constitutional law and freedom of religion at both the local and appellate court levels. Deborah is licensed to practice law in California and North Carolina and currently lives in Swansboro, N.C.

Take 14 dudes, put them on dirt bikes, give them some of the most remote, scenic riding available in the US and this is what happens. It's Wilderness Collective 001.
Gawker calls this stuff "artisinal manliness." When do you think the last time one of their editors got further out there than a picnic in Prospect Park? You know, before it got dark and the poors started showing up.
Yeah, the drinks are good and the food better. But what I see is a bunch of guys hustling dirt bikes down trails, then sleeping on the ground. Sounds like a good weekend to me.

CUTMR / Public Space / Christine Kim and Vanathy Ganesharajah
Vanathy Ganesharajah's artwork explores themes of representation, identity, boundaries, both built and imagined, and a poetic reimagining of spaces. Christine Kim creates intricate collage cuttings and drawings, carving away the boundaries between drawing, sculpture, collage, and installation.
As modern technology advances at rapid speeds, our methods of communication are increasingly confessional, yet surprisingly devoid of physical interface with others. Confessional explores the relationship between public and private spheres, referencing the architecture and attributes of traditional sacred spaces, while creating a new space that encourages the physical experience of exposure and concealment. Traditionally, a confessional is a freestanding structure where the screen – separating penitent and priest – hides or diminishes the identity of the sinner. Contemporary practices have changed so this separation is no longer used; however, it is this offer of anonymity that allows for an unfolding of the soul. In this installation, participants will journey through a pathway of screens, being folded into areas where they see others obscured, or find themselves alone and hidden from view. In this manner, we echo the nature of the confessional, where one is simultaneously veiled, yet revealed, physically and psychologically.
Come Up To My Room (CUTMR) Toronto's largest alternative design show enters a new decade with new initiatives and a diverse lineup of local and national talent: 25 installations, 60 artists, and 4000 visitors, all in under 4 days. Gladstone Managing Director of Art, Britt Welter-Nolan is joined by three new curatorial forces: Jaclyn Blumas, Robert Cram and Elise Hodson.

I started to write something maudlin and then noticed I have a mini etch-a-sketch in my purse. I don't think anyone carrying toys in their purse should be writing mopey posts. Yes, toys, as in plural. If I were jailed today and released in 6 months or what have you, the clerk could rattle off the following:
One brown leather purse. Keys. Tiny rubber baseball mitt and ball. Half a tube of rose scented hand cream. An expired set of coupons good (or more to the point not good) for Auntie Anne's Pretzels. A boogie board.
(right now you are thinking whoa, this must be a satchel! But it's not that kind of boogie board. It's an electronic toy you write on and then push a button and voila! the screen wipes clean and you get to start a new game of tic-tac-toe or what have you.)
A set of 0.3mm pens and small sketch book. One page has a colored pencil drawing of a shirtless Viking I tried to recreate from memory based on a photograph I once found between the pages of a dictionary when I was just a child but lost somewhere along the way and will clearly never forgive myself.
Small and empty bottle of ibuprofen. Hair brush. Head band. Three tubes of lipstick (and some feminine hygiene products which I am embarrassed to even list, like I'm 13 or something). Wallet packed fat with fun (but no cash). Battered Metlife dental card not secured in wallet like rest of membership cards for some reason but floating loose like a renegade.
Forgotten "organic" fruit strip that I just checked and you will be happy to know the sell-by date is not until April! Packet of Captain's Wafers, Cream Cheese & Chives flavor (blech). A ticket stub for Miss Peregrine's Home for Pecuiliar Children. One participation medal from a children's race. Portable charger and several cords which match up to specific devices but look just similar enough to trick me every time. Unopened air freshener for car in Christmas Cookie™ scent.
No wonder I can never find my keys. I make an effort to put them in one of the side pockets, or the wings of the purse, if you will, but still I can never find them quickly. A long time ago I made a decision to carry a small purse, but I guess I forgot and this one was a gift from my husband, who once observed that I crammed too much into my small purse and needed more room.

More Details
Harmony CBD Oil Super Lemon Haze 600mg is a CBD oil-based e-liquid that is designed to be used in vapourizers - or e-cigarettes. It contains CBD - or cannabidiol - a substance that originates from the hemp plant. Harmony CBD Oil Super Lemon Haze 600mg is the original flavour CBD vape juice from the Harmony range of products.
Harmony is the flagship brand from the company Meet Harmony Limited, a company incorporated in 2016 with their headquarters in city of London, UK. The company rose to prominence in 2017 with their exceptional range of CBD e-liquids and they are on their way to become a leading brand in the CBD hemp market. According to the official Harmony website, their mission objective is to "to bring the full potential of cannabinoids all over the world" after it dawned on their founder, Antonin Cohen, that there was an immediate need to make 'qualitative cannabinoids' more accessible.
Harmony does not manufacturer the products - they bring together high quality CBD raw materials from a couple of companies. Independent laboratories check each batch for composition and CBD concentration. Consistent quality is important to Harmony - as it is to Titanic. CBD e-liquids for e-cigarettes is not the only application for Harmony products. Other applications of Harmony hemp products include food supplements and cosmetics. They are also seeking a medical product licence, which would bring new benefits to sufferers of pain, stress and anxiety - and more.
What's it like?
Harmony CBD Oil Super Lemon Haze 600mg is like a standard e-liquid - it contains a nice balance of propylene glycol and glycerol - or glycerine - to ensure a smooth vape. The consistency of Harmony Hemp CBD oil is very much like e-liquids - slightly viscous. It is brownie-green in colour, with bits. The aroma is a little woody and earthy - just what you'd expect from such a natural product.
Read the label before use. Do not take more than the prescribed amount. If you feel unwell using this product stop using it immediately and contact a medical professional - a pharmacist or doctor. Use Harmony CBD Oil Super Lemon Haze 600mg responsibly and keep out of reach of children and pets. Store in the original packaging. After use, dispose of pack in household waste.
Other information
Harmony CBD Oil Super Lemon Haze 600mg contains only trace (very small) amounts of THC - so small in fact that taking Harmony Hemp CBD oil will not make you feel euphoric. Product comes in a 10 ml bottle with child-resistant and tamper-evident cap and closure. Harmony Hemp CBD oil does not contain nicotine.

By Douglas Garman, USACESeptember 18, 2012
WASHINGTON (Sept. 18, 2012) -- The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers announced today that it will waive day-use fees at its more than 2,400 Corps-operated recreation areas nationwide in recognition of National Public Lands Day, Sept. 29.
On this day, fees normally charged at boat launch ramps and swimming beaches will be waived. U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, or USACE, does not charge entrance fees to its parks.
The waiver does not apply to camping and camping-related services, or fees for specialized facilities such as group picnic shelters. Other agencies and partners that manage recreation areas located on USACE lands are encouraged but not required to comply with this waiver of day-use fees in the areas they manage.
In addition, volunteers who participate in one of USACE's National Public Lands Day activities will be issued a fee-free coupon if the volunteer site is participating in the coupon program. Volunteers should check with the local USACE event manager for more information. The fee-free coupon is valid for one year from date of issue and may be used for one day of entrance or day-use fees at any participating federal agency park, forest or recreation area that charges either of these types of fees.
For more information on the fee-free day and coupons visit http://www.publiclandsday.org/highlights/fee-free-day-and-coupons.
Thousands of local volunteers are expected to support the more than 110 USACE sites participating in this year's 19th annual National Public Lands Day, the largest annual volunteer hands-on restoration activity of its kind. Volunteers at USACE sites will take part in tree planting, erosion control, bank stabilization, building trails, restoring recreation areas, trash pickup, removing invasive species and non-native plants, improving wildlife habitats, harvesting prairie plant seeds and rehabilitating playgrounds.
In 2011, more than 12,000 volunteers worked approximately 50,000 hours to remove more than 1,500 tires, clear litter and debris from 1,475 miles of shoreline, build 100 miles of trails, and plant some 1,000 trees and shrubs at USACE-operated sites.
Volunteering in National Public Lands Day is one way to answer President Obama's call to service and play a role in supporting America's Great Outdoors Initiative, an effort to promote the conservation of outdoor spaces and reconnect Americans to the outdoors.
USACE has been involved with National Public Lands Day since its inception in 1994 and has consistently been one of the event's largest providers of sites and volunteers. As the nation's leading federal provider of outdoor and water-based recreation, USACE manages 422 lake and river projects in 43 states. With 90 percent of these projects located within 50 miles of metropolitan areas, USACE sites provide a wide range of safe, affordable outdoor recreation opportunities close to home.

LONGMONT — Cookie had been on a couple of dates with one of Roger's good friends when they first met more than 50 years ago. That friend, however, was out of town the night the two parked next to each other and starting talking at The Pole Drive-in in Indianapolis.
The Pole was a local hang-out on the west side of the city in the '50s and '60s. It was a circle restaurant that you could drive around and then back into a parking place, a place to show off cars.
After they started talking that night the Olsens decided to go out. Neither remembers their first date, but they do remember how much fun they had when they first met.
"We were interested in everything it seemed," Cookie said.
Drag racing was one of those interests that the couple shared. Roger was one of the founding members of a hot rod club called the Indy Hi-Winders; last year the club celebrated its 50th anniversary. They also enjoyed many other activities such as water skiing.
Then on one of their dates during a quiet conversation between the two them, Cookie asked Roger if he would marry her. The Rev. Phillip Bigelow married the Olsens at St. Andrews Church in Speedway, Ind., on June 8, 1963. That good friend of Roger's was best man.
Roger worked for the Union Carbide Corp. back then, and in 1966 the company gave him the option to transfer to Colorado. The couple had never been west of the Mississippi River. Cookie's brother, who was stationed at Lowry Air Force base in Denver, kept telling them how great it was. The couple made the decision and move in January 1967 to Northglenn.
With new surroundings would come new adventures. In 1971, Roger was working in cryogenics at a company called Cryenco. A man who worked there was selling his small business in bovine artificial insemination, so the couple decided to go into business for themselves.
"It was a wonderful way to raise the kids, in agriculture. It was an education," Cookie said, noting that the couple has two sons.
For the next 28 years the couple ran Colorado Cattle Services together. Roger took over the sales side and Cookie ran the office. "I think you have to be patient with one another, and you have to appreciate that the other person's doing their part of the job," Roger said.
Cookie added, "It was a good lesson into each other's personalities, I think, the demands and how you deal with them."
They had an office in Platteville, where their kids went to school, and lived on the east side of Longmont. They've lived there since about 1974.
"We always liked Longmont. … When we first moved out here it used to be a Sunday trip once in awhile. You'd go to Longmont, cause that was way out in country and a quaint little town," Roger said.
Roger sold the business and assets in 1999 to a company they distributed for and went to work for them.
"She can't get by with half the money and twice as much husband," Roger joked on why he continues to work. Cookie has stayed busy with volunteer work through the church.
Volunteering has also been a big part of the couple's life together. Roger was part of a group that bought the property and put together fundraisers to build the Platteville Community Center, and both are active Stephen Ministers at the Faith Community Lutheran Church. Stephen Ministry is a program in which members of a congregation can act as caregivers and confidential support to other members of the church.
When the couple is not working or volunteering, they enjoy cruises.
"I don't have to drive," says Roger.
"And I don't have to cook," Cookie responds when asked their favorite part. They try to visit Hawaii a couple of times a year, with Maui being a favorite destination.
They have five grandsons they enjoy spending time with, taking them on trips, watching them all play sports and going to museums.
"I personally enjoyed the challenges after we came to Colorado, the way our lives changed, cause we were city people. I never dreamed that we would be involved in agriculture," Cookie says of their life together. "All of our married life has been a wonderful adventure."
The couple has thought of more adventure they would like to have. They would like to take cruises to England and the Panama Canal. All places very far from that drive-in in Indiana, and all it took was a short trip across the Mississippi.

Hello my friends from Dragoart.com. We've got some requests on how to draw famous places around the world. So today I am going to show you an easy way to draw The Great Wall of China. Now I said "easy" but I think this might be one of the hardest tutorials I've done so far. So I'll try to make it as simple as possible so you all could follow me easily. The Great Wall of China was built starting from the Qin dynasty in China (220B.c to 204B.c.). It was built to defense against invasions from the north as known as later became the Mongolians. The building carried on to the Ming Dynast (1368 to 1644) and became one of the largest military structure. The 2000 year old wall now has become one of the greatest structure of all time. The other fascinating thing about is it that you could actually see it from out of space. The Great Wall is now a great symbol of China. The exciting history of China keeps on going till today. I hope you all be really patient on doing the drawing, It may see a little bit complicated, but I'm sure you will do a great job! I will see you all again in my next tutorial.
DragoArt members upload artwork and drawing tutorials! They are also allowed to leave comments on tutorials, profiles, etc. Many more features, as well; it's way better than just being a boring guest! Register Now!

A couple of weeks ago I attended the Hexagon Global Network (HxGN) 2015 Live conference. Although not held in my favorite destination, Las Vegas, this was an opportunity for my first direct exposure to Hexagon. In a word, I was not disappointed. In fact, the experience went far beyond my modest expectations that I had before attending the event.
I went to HxGN specifically for the metrology (science of measurement) portion of the conference with regard to sensing, inspection, QA, and reverse engineering applications – in other words what Hexagon Metrology is all about. However, metrology was not the only area represented, as the company known as Hexagon AB also has a huge presence with its hardware, software, and services in other industry segments, such as geospatial (GPS and surveying); process, power, and marine (PP&M); and security, government, and infrastructure (SG&I). It was a lot to take in and I focused on industrial metrology and related technologies – sensors and software used for optimizing manufacturing processes and throughput.
Founded in 1992 and headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden, Hexagon AB has offices in 46 countries, 15,000+ total employees, and is R&D focused with 11% of net sales and more than 3,400 employees invested in R&D. The industrial side of Hexagon AB, known as Industrial Enterprise Solutions (IES), that includes manufacturing and industrial plant facilities accounts for about half of the company's sales. Roughly one third of Hexagon's business is derived from metrology.

All things Dillinger are hot these days. Johnny Depp and "Public Enemies" have made the crime sprees of John Dillinger, well, cool.
And so, cashing in is in full force.
Item no. 1 on the auction block -- a South Bend, Ind., theater bearing bullet marks from Dillinger's final bank-robbery shoot. The State Theatre opened in 1921 and was formerly known as the the Blackstone Theatre Vaudeville House. (But if you buy it, you can call it whatever you want.)
An auction company out of Albuquerque, N.M., will be taking online bids from July 16-30 at www.naiglobal.com/powersale.
An evangelical minister has owned the property for three years but is facing foreclosure, according to the South Bend Tribune.
Newspaper accounts say the bullets in the theater were shot on June 30, 1934 after Dillinger and his gang robbed Merchants Bank in downtown South Bend. A gunfight between police and his gang started after the group walked out with more than $30,000. A police officer was killed and eight others were wounded.
The bullet marks you could now own were left on the marquee and facade of the building.
NOTE: Johnny Depp is not included.

CAMDEN, N.J. — Lawyers for Kobe Bryant and an auction house are scheduled to make arguments before a federal judge in New Jersey about whether mementos from Bryant can be sold.
Berlin, N.J.-based Goldin Auctions is suing for the right to sell hundreds of items provided by Bryant's mother, Pamela Bryant. They include practice gear and jerseys, varsity letters and awards from his days at Pennsylvania's Lower Merion High School, as well as items from his early days in the NBA, including a signed ball from an NBA All-Star game and championship rings the Lakers had made for Bryant's parents.
The NBA star said he told his mother she did not have the right to auction off his belongings, but Pamela Bryant said in court filings that her son gave her permission to do what she wanted with his old things.
The auction house appraised the trove of 900 items at $1.5 million and gave Pamela Bryant a $450,000 advance, which a court filing said she intended to spend on a home in Nevada. Property records show that she and Bryant's father, former pro basketball player Joe "Jellybean" Bryant bought a Las Vegas home earlier this year.
Goldin had announced the first auction of Bryant's mementos would be in June, but Bryant is attempting to block it.
The auction house has gone to a federal judge in Camden, N.J., to request permission to go ahead with a sale and Bryant has gone to a state judge in California to ask that the sale be scrapped.
The two sides will appear in federal court in New Jersey on Tuesday (Wednesday, Manila time).

Steven Kasher Gallery is proud to announce our first exhibition of one of the greatest music photographers of all time. Jim Marshall: The Rolling Stones and Beyond will feature over 60 photographs and over one hundred vintage record covers mapping Jim Marshall's entire career and introducing never-before-seen images he captured during the Rolling Stones' 1972 U.S. tour. The exhibition marks the 50th anniversary of the band, and the 40th anniversary of that legendary tour. Our exhibition also launches the book The Rolling Stones 1972 by Jim Marshall, foreword by Keith Richards, published by Chronicle Books.
"Once Jim was in, he was another Stone. He caught us with our trousers down and got the ups and downs. I love his work." —Keith Richards, from the Foreword
In 1972 the Stones stood unchallenged at the heights of rock and roll. They had just released Exile on Main Street, recorded primarily in the basement of a rented chateau in France, but finished at Sunset Sound, an old studio in Hollywood. On assignment for Lifemagazine, Jim Marshall traveled to the studio in California and captured intimate moments with Mick and Keith, including the indelible image featured on the cover of the book.
These photographs were precursors to the images Marshall would capture from the tour itself. The Rolling Stones' 1972 tour earned a four-million-dollar box office — bigger than any before. Jim Marshall was already music photojournalism's maestro, and it was not his first time covering the Stones — but it was the first time he was commissioned by Life,the most visual of mainstream publications. Marshall was in his element, and, like Jagger and Richards, imbibed more than a fair share of booze and cocaine. Jim's pictures on the 1972 tour show Mick, Keith and the boys at their absolute peak, giving not just career-defining performances, but genre-defining, the apex of an entire art form.
Jim Marshall captured the music of the 1960s and 70s through some of the most iconic images in music history, many featured on the over 500 album covers he produced of great musicians. He was selected as the principal photographer of the Woodstock Festival, but started photographing musicians before the wildfire of rock and roll, including Miles, Monk, Coltrane — all the jazz greats. He caught the folk scene – Baez, Dylan, Seeger — in full bloom. He grabbed the last legends of country blues – Mississippi John Hurt, Skip James, Son House – before they disappeared.
By the time rock music emerged as the leading cultural and artistic movement of the sixties, Marshall was already firmly established as the premier music photojournalist of the day. Marshall was the only photographer allowed backstage to what became The Beatles' final concert, at Candlestick Park. Jim's photos from the Monterey Pop Festival captured the breakout performances of Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, and Otis Redding. Jim also captured moments of unguarded intimacy, such as Janis lounging backstage with a bottle of Southern Comfort. Jim documented Johnny Cash during his legendary concerts at Folsom and San Quentin.
Jim Marshall's images are at once larger than life and yet intimate. He could encapsulate a spectacle, and penetrate a solitary world. Marshall illustrated what music looked like to the world at a time when music was transforming history. The tenor of the 1960s counterculture allowed performers to open up and be seen unguarded. They were not as hidden behind public relations people and managers and muscled bodyguards as they are now.
Jim's excesses are legendary. But they were excesses borne of a genuine search for truth. He didn't know what the truth looked like, but knew there was something else out there to embrace. Jim said: "I worked hard but I never really considered it 'work'. I always enjoyed myself and only took an assignment if I had complete control and access. My reputation was such that managers didn't fuck with me. I had the trust of the artist. I would work with them and they knew I wouldn't fuck around or do anything they didn't like."
Jim Marshall: The Rolling Stones and Beyond will be on view from July 5 through September 8, 2012.
Steven Kasher Gallery is located at 521 W. 23rd St., New York, NY 10011.
Gallery hours are Tuesday through Saturday, 11am to 6pm.

Lamb Kebabs
By á-4922
- Lamb Kebabs:
- 1 pound ground lamb
- 3 quarter-size slices ginger
- 2 large cloves garlic or 4 small
- 2 medium shallots
- Zest of 1 lemon, and separately, its juice
- 4 sprigs fresh mint
- Handful fresh cilantro
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 4 tablespoons pomegranate molasses
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon garam masala, optional
- Lots of freshly ground pepper
- Oil, for drizzling
- Cucumber Raita:
- 1 cup plain yogurt
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh mint
- 1 large English cucumber, grated
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
Step 1
Special equipment: Food processor if you have it, 8 bamboo skewers, stovetop griddle or big nonstick pan or outside grill
For the lamb: Bring the lamb to room temperature. If you're going to cook your kebabs on the grill, soak bamboo skewers in water for at least 30 minutes, so they don't burn.
Grab your food processor. You can chop all this by hand too; just make sure to chop it all up very finely.
Throw the ginger, garlic, shallots, lemon zest, mint, cilantro and salt into the processor. Grind until very finely chopped.
Throw the lamb into a big bowl. Add the shallot mixture, 2 tablespoons pomegranate molasses, baking soda, garam masala if using and pepper to the meat. Using your hands, knead 2 to 5 minutes until the meat lightens in color, taking on the appearance of knitted fabric. It will also be very sticky. Perfect!
Divide the meat in half, then in half again and then half again, until you have 8 mounds.
Have a platter ready for your completed kebabs. Drizzle a little oil on the platter so the kebabs don't stick.
Have your bamboo skewers standing by. Take one ball of meat and roll it into a short stump. Thread the skewer through it, and then begin shaping the kebab with quick strokes, pulling the meat down. It should be a little over 1/4-inch thick. Roll the kebab between your hands to seal the meat. Repeat.
Preheat a griddle over medium heat, drizzling oil over it, so that when it starts to smoke, you'll know it's ready. Meanwhile, mix the juice of half the lemon with the remaining 2 tablespoons pomegranate molasses in a small bowl.
When it's hot, place the skewers on the grill. Cook about 2 minutes, then turn a quarter of the way. Brush with the lemon-molasses glaze and cook another 2 minutes. Continue in this way until you've cooked the meat 8 to 10 minutes.
For the raita: Mix the yogurt, mint, cucumber and garlic together. Season with salt and pepper, and serve alongside the kebabs.

GSP Content Buffer
runtime "org.grails.plugins:content-buffer:1.0.2"
This plugin provide a taglib method called 'content'. It is used to insert page fragments anywhere in a GSP before it is rendered. The standard sitemesh content tag does not support appending content, this plugin does. Templates included with the render tag can also append content to sections in the layout.
grails install-plugin content-buffer
Use this plugin to append page fragments to pre-defined sections in your layout template.Example:Add this in the head section of your layout:
Add this in a sidebar div in your layout:
<g:pageProperty name="page.head" />
Then all the GPSs that are included on the page can put content into the  section and the sidebar div.

 <g:pageProperty name="page.sidebar" />

index.gsp: <g:content tag="head">  </g:content><g:content tag="sidebar">
This message will be displayed in the sidebar
 </g:content><g:render template="foo"/> _foo.gsp: <g:content tag="sidebar">
This message will also be displayed in the sidebar
 </g:content>
Sitemesh has a built-in feature like this using it's <content> tag. But it will overwrite existing content in the specified page property. The content-buffer plugin makes it possible to append as much content as you like to a page property. Then you let the layout render it to the final page.

At first I thought Mama Zen really did have powers, as the floor continued its showers, because she stood on nothing at all. When Indiana Jones I did recall and knew it was some stupid mirror trick. Thank God for that flick. I jumped over beside her and curled up my fur, as everyone followed suit, Fox almost stomped me with his boot.
Nothing but spikes were seen all around, besides all the bodies that fell down and began to compound. A light shined down from above and a rope dropped down, to which no one was showing any love. It smelled like a trap. I wish Gizmo had left us an app map. Another door opened up from an adjacent wall and I wasted no time jumping for that, making it and ducking down to a crawl.
Fred smelled books from the trap door above and that made him give it some love. No idea how he smelled the books, but he climbed up fearing no hooks. He got to the top feeling right at home. I hear his lips even began to foam, as he was surrounded by a library filled to the brim. He shouted down saying things were no longer grim.
Some looked at me and I was not about to move any further in. This voice was not going to win. Dezmond climbed up first, still chasing his exclusive thirst. Then Eliza and Mama Zen climbed on up and made it without a hiccup. LMF went up next and I guess I will have to take over her school of text. Let's just say little miss fun was ummm well done. For the rope caught fire and things became dire. She burned to a crisp quick and I must say death aside, this voice sure had a neat trick. Of course he was a nut and sick but his freaky crap was kind of slick.
Slamdunk jumped on over with me and he could not stop as slick as a kitty. So he stumbled through the door frame and into the room, bringing on his doom. Arrows flew from the wall from side to side and so many hit him he instantly died.
I did my normal cat routine and ducked down below the arrow scene, finding a lever to pull and finally stopped this arrow bull. Fox, Betsy and Brian jumped on over and Fox pretended he tripped like some rover. Falling on Betsy to hold himself up. Yeah I know! Such a love sick pup.
Fred's worst nightmare had come true. The books came alive and tried to smite the crew. Mama Zen had no need for her chi and just decided to flee. Eliza and Dezmond followed suit, Fred eventually did becoming quite ticked off at this voice brute. They slammed the door shut and held it closed with their back and butt, making sure no books knocked it down and went flying across town.
Of course "cough" stalker "cough" watcher Brian noticed everything and a light bulb appeared above his head as his brain went ding. He pointed out how there had to be another exit in here, so the arrows could be shot out by our great puppeteer. We scoured the room and Betsy even picked up a broom. Apparently there was dust that left her in disgust.
Fox had his Grammar Nazi skills at play and noticed a word on the wall was not spelled the right way. He gave a rather snarky remark and put the letters in their right arc. As he finished straightening them all nice and neat. The wall turned around and caught Fox by his feet. He went around with it and disappeared. I hoped the voice did not try and shave off his beard.
I could not reach so Betsy and Brian tried to repeat. But it appeared to be an unattainable feat. I hoped these guys were better repo people than door openers. Boy, did we need the Ghostbusters.
The books stopped clamoring and the group let go of the door, slowly moving across the floor. Mama Zen fell through a rotten board and dangled there while Dezmond wrote everything down with such flair. Fred helped her up and she screamed "Duck!" as they were being shot at by hockey puck after hockey puck.
Elisa dodged one just in time, yet Dezmond was too busy writing and could not move on a dime. He got cracked upside the head as the other three fled and his body the hockey pucks began to shred. Poor Dezmond was now dead.
The cat had a plan and although no one, not even I, was a fan, I made Betsy and Brian get down on the floor and I hit the lever once more. The arrows began flying about all over the place and we all lied flat on our face. With nothing in the way they shredded the far side wall and we could hear freedom's call. Plus that stupid voice saying we cheated. He was becoming a little heated.
I flicked the lever with my tail and we all were glad the wall was so frail. But one arrow still came out and Brian and I heard a shout. It stuck to Betsy's back, yet seemed to cause her little flack. It fell off and her back was all healed up. She did not even give a hiccup.
"Petsy!" I shouted as Brian could not believe his eyes. For Betsy had been telling little white lies. Seems she was not seeking the Fountain of Youth after all because she already found it at her hall. I guess it does more than reduce age. That thing surely is all the rage.
We got outside and a shadow figure approached us from behind. In the moonlight his face did show and all I could think was "sick" in my mind. Seems Brian had the same look, but Betsy was oddly reminded of her nook.
Eliza realized they were in a loo and knew that would not do. If anyone died there the cat would never let them live that down, especially if killed by something brown. She took the back off the toilet and Mama Zen took the other one, leaving Fred with none. So he got creative and stood up on a urinal jumping up and down. It came off and he picked it up, thankfully not wearing it like a crown.
They left the bathroom and Fred went out first, using the urinal like a shield to block the hockey puck burst. Mama Zen and Eliza batted them back and from their use of toilet stuff to attack, they noticed the wall which they were heading to had begun to crack. Fred being sharp as a tack, ran at the wall and let go of the urinal sending it hurdling in the air down the hall. It stopped the pucks and barreled right through, knocking the wall down and they smiled as the outside came into view.
The flying pucks seemed to stop and all looked down not caring about the drop. They jumped out at the same time and thankfully were still in their prime. Although Fred stepped in something eww and looked at the bottom of his shoe. It was orange not brown, the three wondered what could one eat down to make that and then they saw Betsy, Brian and the cat.
They joined us and were as disturbed as Brian and I, Betsy for some reason still seemed to like the thing, no lie. For standing before us all pink and fluffy, the creator of this little huffy, the one who sent the troll out for money, was the frigging Easter Bunny.
He ranted about no longer wanting to be cute and furry tired of delivering eggs that looked like poo to those whose vision was blurry. He wanted to take over Halloween and be oh so mean. So he had a troll collect money for his cause and made this ruckus to get known as a bad ass. He stood all smug awaiting an applause from those around his mass.
We all tried to ring his neck and like something out of Star Trek, he waved his hand and we could no longer stand. He wanted us to bow and showed off his power by making the house go pow. It blew to pieces and flew all around. I barely raised my head and Natasha was found. She stood there looking rather pissed, I guess this house she was about to list. Personally I think he did her a favor. This house would have needed inspection waver after waver.
But why was she standing in the middle of the road? How did she get out of her zip code? She did not appear inside with the rest and then I smiled as all the answers were filled in on my test. A pair of headlights snapped on and let's say the Easter Bunny became a smudge on the lawn. Fox borrowed Natasha's car and rammed it up the Easter's Bunny's ass. He backed up and over him several times shouting things that were a tad crass.
Fox stepped out all glad. Remind me never to make him mad. Then from the Easter Bunny smudge came a glow and within seconds everyone, living and dead, were back at their show. I guess time reset itself when the Easter Bunny lost and Fox left his smudge sucking exhaust.
So for those that were dead, do not worry your pretty little head. I think all memories were wiped too, except for some reason my mind still has them firmly in view. Could be a felines is different or simply my mind is vast so the tale will last. Dezmond if you still want the scoop here it is. Although I'm sure some might not believe this Easter Bunny biz.
I have no idea what will happen on Easter though. Who knows? Maybe Cupid will show. So if for some reason you remember highlights like the stain left on the grass, you now know the full story thanks to my little rhyming ass.
Later all, have a nice fall.
